I know that these accusations are hard to read, and that such things happen regardless of how strong systems are, but they are in the public domain and currently newsworthy. Deleting the entry is not acceptable as it is currently in mainstream news. The consensus appears to be, based on that nasty little abuse page, that such things lose relevence after a decade or so. I am happy to help reduce the section to something a lot more in proportion (with a link to the main article) - but simply deleting makes it look as though it is being covered up on behalf of SC - and that is not any more acceptable than what you see as hack-job attacks on SC.

This is not about what is and is not newsworthy. Wikipedia is not a news bulletin-board and by simply posting articles written by a single source which has a proven history of libel, misrepresentation and bias, it is hardly justifiable to utilize for suggesting such strong accusation which could damage the reputation of SC. Munvo (talk) 21:52, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid that the reputation of SC is not a valid reason to delete the section, and that deleting in order to protect SC is vandalism and is to be reverted as such. Please do not try to go down that route as that makes it impossible to resolve things.

The source is a very valid one - a nation news service. Whatever your PoV on them (or mine) is does not change that matter. They are a valid source and these comments have been made. I am, however, very happy to work with you on reducing that section to a more proportionate entry provided you cease your current blanking strategy.

Only a single, brief sentence needs to be there indicating that these claims were made. The section on the actions of SC (courced only from SC, so the weaker-sourced part of the section) can be retained. This would, in fact, probably improve the look of SC to anyone looking on here for information about them as it shows that they take the matter seriously and are not trying to pretend it didn't happen. Doing our job of reporting the facts would, in this case, help SC. DiverScout (talk) 22:07, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Good. Trust me, I'm not anti-SC in any way. I see this as a way to highlight the lengths that all our associations go to to prevent these exceptionally rare events from taking place. I've changed the title and lead to relate more to the documentary, as that seems to be the current issue, with the abuse cases having taken place over 20 years ago - before current safeguarding measures were available. I've, therefore, flagged the video and highlighted the open way that SC responded to the raised issues. Initially I've left the blue-link to the abuses page, but wondered if you felt that that may be better set as a text-link within the main body? DiverScout (talk) 22:32, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of SCOUT eh!

I have removed the proposed deletion tag you placed on SCOUT eh!, as the article has undergone a deletion discussion in the past and is therefore permanently ineligible for deletion under the proposed deletion process. I mainly did this to comply with process, and I am not necessarily opposed to this article's deletion. Your rationale for deletion is not a valid argument for deletion, as it points out an issue that can be resolved by editing. However, if you can make a case that this organization fails the notability criteria for inclusion, then I suggest you bring it back to AfD. If you have any questions please let me know. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:09, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you KuyaBriBri for letting me know. I do not mean by any means to violate the wiki way or argue fallaciously. I have spoke to a few others and I believe they will be able to assist me in properly voicing my concerns in a constructive way.
