Agent Handling[edit]
Was tagged as speedy with the comment: "Dead-end page with no context, probably written with spy novels as the source". Delete.-gadfium 03:46, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The subject itself is encyclopedic, and the material sounds reasonable enough. Needs wikifying, references, and a page move to conform with title capitalization guidelines, but otherwise what's the problem? Isomorphic 06:37, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The problem is: it has no context, no sources, and is unverifiable. Who knows anything about this subject who is going to write an article for Wikipedia about it? What sources are there other than the imaginations of spy novel writers, which is probably how this was written? Finally, even if we didn't have all those problems, it would make more sense as part of an article on espionage or intelligence agencies. Delete. --BM 08:28, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete unless the creator pitches up to back it up with sources. Even then probably merge into espionage 12:12, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I'll vote keep if some references and context show up. Kappa 19:04, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, but needs scads of work and references. Wyss 22:14, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, yes more work is needed. -Ld | talk 00:02, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Allow for organic growth. GRider\talk 22:46, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
