Entirely based on original research and speculation

edit

This entire article appears to be based on speculation and/or original research by Mark Klamberg, the person who coincidently also created this article. No working sources cited, and if you Google "titan databas[e]" you essentially only get results pointing back to WP, and some essays written by Klamberg & Co -- things not published in the main press. I don't think this can be called a notable subject or of notable interest. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a place to promote your own theories and speculation about the FRA, or advocacy against it. For these reasons, this article may be deleted.

Added questioned notability to article as well Gavleson (talk) 12:47, 17 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I've added archive URLs to the sources. As described in WP:LINKROT, pages are sometimes removed from Web sites. —rybec 07:17, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I would argue that the issue is not resolved, as the lead section is entirely based on speculation and original research by Mark Klamberg, not supported by any citations. But OK, I'll remove the unsourced speculation and replace it with what we actually do know -- which is unfortunately not much. Gavleson (talk) 08:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nothing in this wikipedia text about FRA operations originates from my reasearch. All data in this post is based on a news report by SVT, the Swedish national public TV broadcaster. In the relevant legislation (which is not mentiooned in this wikipedia post) one can find support for the pratice described in this Wikipedia post. If somebody wants to add reference to the relevant law, please do so. I have done it in the Swedish post but has been deleted with the same arguments as Gavleson makes above. Obviously it is impossible for a person who has a PhD in law and is tenured lecturer at a university to write about law - it still gets deleted by unknown people and the editors of wikipedia do not onject.

One of the citations has been removed [1]; why? —rybec 08:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Because AFAICT, it's not relevant to the database. It's a general Q&A with the FRA dated March 2007, about the first proposal of change in legislation. The report on the database was released in June 2008. Gavleson (talk) 08:28, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
