Xanthos Menelaou – Diseased Deputy Chief Executive of the WIF
Between the 18th and 21st September 2007 the Wikipedians castigated and made unforgettable comments concerning at the time, the recently diseased deputy chief executive of the WIF, Xanthos Menelaou, to show that they will sink to the lowest depths. Indeed, making fun of someone who had just died from an agonising death in a London hospital from the ravages of Cancer is not on at all.
Therefore these people are not even civilised or human when it comes to their castigations and everyone should be aware of this fact.
An extract of what was said about Xanthos Menelaou is reprinted below.
The portrait of its (the WIF) recently-deceased deputy director seems to be taken in the beer garden of a pub.
While we're at it, shouldn't the Xanthos Menelaou article go to the same bag (AfD)? He is arguably famous because he's former WIF chief executive, and WIF is arguably famous because (among other things) Menelaou was its chief executive. Duja 14:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I believe that the Xanthos article reeks of being part of a hoax/scam/crank effort too, though I also noticed that the US newspaper The Christian Science Monitor picked the ridiculous "Mighty Aphrodite" story up. This is why we need to be absolutely stringent about requiring multiple, non-trivial independent reliable sources - yes, I'm looking at you, The Game (game). Bwithh 22:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Aw crap, I ran a Factiva search, and it looks like UK newspapers The Independent, The Sunday Times and the The Express on Sunday picked up the Xanthos and his BS Aphrodite statue story too. Though that and the CSM article are all the hits in the database. I apologize for my country's laughable newspapers. (And I'm deeply disappointed in you, Christian Science Monitor). Though to be fair, from the reports, Cyprus's Ministry of Tourism got caught up the excitement of Xanthos' brilliant scheme too. Um, Xanthos is probably not a straightforward speedy delete candidate any more - sorry <=P Bwithh 22:21, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
The problem that these people do not seem to comprehend is that the Minister of Tourism, Mr. Rolandis, was pushing for this exceptional scheme and politically promoted it in Cyprus. Xanthos’s brother is the general manager of Cyprus’s most prominent media company owning television stations and a whole host of media organizations. They too were televising interviews with Xanthos about the Aphrodite scheme for the people and nation of Cyprus.
