Unscintillating,
I have deleted the second entry in “further reading” because it was unrelated to TIGHAR. It only seemed to reflect Clinton’s opinion of Earhart.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.163.157 (talk • contribs) 2013-06-10T13:44:41
Ask yourself, "Why did Clinton give the speech?". The answer is that without TIGHAR, the speech would not exist. The more complete point is that there is a section yet to be written in this article about the event as a whole. I have discussed this previously at Talk:Amelia Earhart.

Ask yourself "What does Clinton’s opinion of Earhart have to do with aviation archaeology?” The answer is DIDDLY SQUAT! The more complete point is that the purpose of the further reading section is to give the reader additional sources of information about TIGHAR, and not to subject them to a politician’s gum-flapping.
Clinton’s endorsement of “Niku VII” is really only a footnote in TIGHAR’s history anyway, so there’s no need to belabor the point.
Also, you know perfectly well that Earhart’s talk page is for Earhart, and TIGHAR’s talk page is for TIGHAR. So we’ll have none of this “I have discussed this previously at Talk:Amelia Earhar” crap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.163.157 (talk) 02:52, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
I have corrected the article to indicate that TIGHAR has been on 10 expeditions to Nikumaroro. Niku III, IIII, and V actually consisted of two expeditions each. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.163.157 (talk) 02:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Proposed deletion[edit]
Keep. I've added multiple sources to the article: Washington Post, CBS News, Newsweek, New York Times, ABC News. They've been around since 1985 and have worked with the State Department in searching for Amelia. sikander (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced that coverage of their mere existence makes them notable, but as an IP editor I can't got to AfD, so I guess that's that. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
