This is WP:SYNTH, possibly to promote the blog http://floridascandal.blogspot.com/ . All of the facts given seem to be true, and they seem to appear in the sources they're cited to. Nevertheless, the way that they are put together into an article about something called the "Florida sex sting scandal" seems to be solely a creation of the above-linked blog, and does not appear in reliable sources. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:07, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have deleted the link to the Florida Blog, i have no association with that blog, I am only trying to address a serious issue here in Florida, which is ruining many peoples lives unfairly. I have linked to numerous sources showing these stings are in fact illegal and entrapment, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matahari847 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Insect bites to the genitals are certainly an important problem, but not a fit topic for WP.Just kidding. The real reason is... the whole article is classic WP:OR, WP:SYNTH, and any number of other fundamental no-nos. EEng (talk) 03:29, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Original research: this is written like a report or presentation seeking to prove a point, not like an encyclopedic article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I beg to differ. It's not like a presentation seeking to prove a point; it is a presentation seeking to prove a point. EEng (talk) 12:39, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
