The result was delete. I am particularly persuaded by the NPOV and ATTACK rationales. Xavexgoem ( talk) 05:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC) reply
A non-article about a non-controversy. Editing the John Kerry article during the 2004 election was an especially contentious process, exacerbated by the fact that we lacked many basic rules and protections like 3RR and BLP back then. Most of the problems were created by a single user, who was eventually banned by Arbcom for a year as a result and later banned permanently for sockpuppeting. This user was a strong advocate for inserting as much negative material as possible about Kerry, and several spinoff articles such as this one were created to appease him and keep this material from overwhelming the article. I had forgotten about this until I stumbled on this article today and I contend that this article does not meet the current standards of Wikipedia. It is about a non-controversy that doesn't exist except in the minds of a few fringe advocates. The few sources that exist are about a minor anti-war demonstration, while most of the rest of the article is unsourced and speculative. Gamaliel ( talk) 18:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC) reply
The meeting reconvened at St. Augustine's Catholic Church, 7801 Paseo Blvd., in Kansas City, and it was again closed—meaning only national officers and regional and state coordinators. Several things about it are still unclear, especially the chronology, but there is no doubt that it was the most intensely angry leadership meeting that had yet taken place. And there is also no doubt, if the files and witnesses are to believed, that Kerry was present for all of it. Because wives and girlfriends, like ordinary delegates, were locked out, Julia Thorne Kerry, John's wife, sat outside on the grass—it was a warm, sunny November day—with a bunch of other women that included filmmaker Nancy Miller Saunders, the girlfriend of Arkansas-Louisiana coordinator Don Donner. Saunders says she remembers a lengthy conversation with Julia Thorne Kerry there, as do two other people interviewed: Rusty Lindley and Wayne Beverly, one of the Texas Marines sympathetic to Camil, who was barred from the meeting because he was not a coordinator.
