Wikipedia:Speedy deletions
If you've come here having recently created a page that has just been marked to say it may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, welcome to Wikipedia. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations – you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the sandbox for further testing, or create a user page for yourself.
If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that met the criteria for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.
For more information, please read our deletion policy.
Using this page
For articles that need deletion, add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} to the top of the page. You should not wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history. This expands to:
Template loop detected: Template:Db-reason
Replace Reason with the reason why the page should be deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.
Other templates available that give a reason include {{nonsense}} and {{db-bio}}. They may be used where appropriate.
(You can also use {{delete}} or {{d}} if you prefer not to provide a reason, but it is generally a good idea to provide a reason, even where it seems "obvious" to you.)
Note that if you just replace the content with {{db|reason}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.
See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.
For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Please do not list pages here that are already listed there.
Advice for administrators
- Review our admin deletion guidelines
- Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
- Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion
- If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.
- Don't worry too much [1] — new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. Wikipedia:Speedy deletion patrol goes through the deletion logs to catch stuff that shouldn't have been speedied, without rancor or excessive red tape. Feel free to be efficient!
Deletion of personal pages
Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't.
Only post pages from your own personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here.
Please see Wikipedia:User page for further instructions, and Wikipedia talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.
Requested pages
- Note: For faster response, please add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} as mentioned above.

has nothing to do with subject, badly written. --Karrmann
This is a page about the band Demilich, who created a unique style of death metal vocals. The reasons why the page should not be deleted are:
It has been the subject of unreasonable deletion for a long time. The article has been deleted in the past based on pure prejudice (the very rules of notability have been circumvented: the article was deleted in the past because "the artists did not have two or more albums," while there is a section of the rules of notability (WP:MUSIC or WP:BAND) that STATES "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, dj etc) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: (lists criteria)" It does NOT state that the band must have a particular criteria (Demilich falls into criteria in the "For performers outside of mass media traditions" section). THE RULES HAVE BEEN CIRCUMVENTED!!
It meets the following tests:
Google Test -- Does the subject get lots of distinguishable hits on Google or another well known search mechanism? YES Google Test Results
Wikipedia Music notability, For performers outside of mass media traditions: -- Has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre. YES Demilich have recorded many songs in the Death Metal genre, not just on official albums.
All Music Guide status -- Demilich is listed on All Music Guide [3]. +Johnson542 11:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I created the First-Run Infobox Television Template to give more information since some of the television pages featured producer or producer and story editor information. I decided to create this one to include a complete producer/story editor guide. So why is it okay for those people to put complete crew info on a page and I can't on a template? Also considered, that I had added the template to TV pages that don't have an Infobox template on them. -tvtonightokc 21:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
The page I put up after seeing the millionth topic pool entry, but did in no way as a joke. The list had both incidents that I'm aware of, listed the name of the person shot, reasons that person was notable aside from being shot by a sitting VP, and a sentence as to the circumstances of the incident (Duel for the first, Hunting accident for the second). The content did not appear to fill any CSD. Requesting that the content be restored and instead listed on WP:AFD. -AKMask 00:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
This is an informative article about an aspiring buisness man from a pakistani origin. Information can be found in Culture Shock! Pakistan: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock! S.) ~Zafar Ihsan, Karin Mittmann Kuperard , and A guide into the world of shisha by Abul Fakher - Both books are availble online on Amazon and explicitly state mr. goons contributions. please read the books before declaringt eh article as nonsense
- I have deleted this article again. The author has recreated it twice now. It does not in any way claim notability according to wikipedia's guidelines. --Martyman-(talk) 09:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
GO READ THE BOOKS I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE REFERENCES I DONT THINK IT IS FAIR TO REMOVE AN ARTCILE ON THE BASIS THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE ABOUT THE INFORMATION PRESENTED SURELY THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF WIKIPEDIA, YOU HAVE FIALED TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY APPROPRIATE REASON FOR DELETING THE ARTICLE, I HAVE WRITTEN A MESSAGE ON YOUR TALK FURTHER EXPLAINING THE ARTICLE AND REFERENCES ABOUT IT
This is a true fact and is often reffered to when discussing Demonham(WHICH IS NOT "DEMON HAM", DON'T MOCK ANOTHER PERSON'S RELIGEON) and I felt nesscesrry to make a page about.
Please don't delete this file, it refers to a holder of local office who has proven he is on the up in the sphere of politics. This page is part of his publicity and allows people to learn about this person who could go on to be of some importance. Over coming years, this page will only grow to highlight more achievements and greater success. William Hague addressed a party conference at 16, this is Ryan Bate's equivalent (almost).
Please do not delete! I was just trying something out and I should have used sandbox. I have since completely fixed the problem. Sorry!

Please do not delete this page - I am working on expanding the dewcription and it is integral to several other pages I am adding for UK based retro magazines and shows - there is currently nothing on retro gaming and I am planning on expanding the whole section - Console passion retro Games is only a small part of it - I have already added fthree other pages. Plus this isn't 'advertising' it is only the same as having Electronic Botique or similar - which IS in wiki pedia.
- Please note, that in the speedy delete notice, it states "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself.", which you have done. I see Retro Fusion has been nominated for deletion, as non-notable, and as the magazine in question hasn't even been released yet, I'd agree with that comment. As for this article itself, it looks like borderline advertising to me (adding company info just prior to a magazine launch?) Possible an afd canditate, if not speedied. If an afd is inserted, please don't delete it! MartinRe 13:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- re-inserted the speedy tag (as creator should not have removed it) to allow admin decision. (refered to creator objections raised here) MartinRe 13:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't realise that I wasn't to remove speedy deleteion notice, these are the first pages I have added to Wiki. I personally do not think this is advertising - all my pages are 'bare bones' at the moment - I am in the process of adding the basics of 20+ pages, all of which are relevent and will contain information relevent to Retro Gaming - which at the moment is completely missing from Wiki in any shape or form. Also, there are several similar pages that have been allowed that are similar - the following magazines have pages Retro Survival, Retro Gamer and for retailers Electronics Boutique, Lik Sang and Rhino Video Games. I will hold adding any more content until such as decision is made, as I see no sense in adding lots of pages if they are just going to get deleted (in what I class as) unjustly.
- Couple of points:
- Retrogaming isn't completely missing, see article Retrogaming
- The more good information that is added, the less likely it is be deleted.
- Please don't move comments into a different section, as you have just done. My comments were made on the article Console Passion Retro Games, by you adding another section header, they now appear as if they are under Retro Fusion.

This is a young and promising theater critic who has been featured in the TV show Theater Talk and who currently hosts a blog sponsored by Theater Talk on the subject. Young professional theater critics, as well as established ones, ought to be entirely permissible in Wikipedia, particuarly because of the fact that Wiki is a free and dynamic encyclopedia. Wiki should be particularly concerned with posting significant facts and individuals that limited published encyclopedias might miss. Eric Miles Glover, as well as the rest of the participants in New Theater Corps, as young theater professionals, clearly meet this criterion.

The uploader previously uploaded this image as Image:Typhoid Mary46.jpg, which went through the deletion process and was removed as a copyvio and also because it was replaced with the more accurate image Image:TyphoidMary46.JPG, which became the cover and can be used under Fair Use guidelines. The uploader then reuploaded the deleted image to the same name, which was then speedily deleted as recreation of previously deleted image. The uploader still insisted upon using it so uploaded it under the new name of Image:DaredevilV246.png and now removes the speedy deletion notice whenever I put it on it. I am leaving this notice here so hopefully it can be deleted even if he removes the notice. Also, it'd be nice if the anon IPs who removed the notice the latest time and who edit war on the article Typhoid Mary were checked to see if it belongs to User:DrBat so that he can be blocked for violating 3RR. I believe he also has or had som ArbCom sanctions against him for edit warring on comic book articles in the past. DreamGuy 18:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Following the addition of whitedust.net I expanded by adding a page for one of its founders who as the bio shows has a number of notable achievements including recognition from the INFOSEC community for a number of papers let alone Whitedust.net itself. Was also marked for deletion by someone with not a single INFOSEC related post - I don’t know any great geographers because that is not my interest, I am interested in INFOSEC I know of Mark Hinge's work and have done for a while - it is linked from the wiki page for hacker for starters.
Incompetent as the article is, the subject is legitimately notable and the article therefore should not be speedied. [4] [5] Monicasdude 22:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
the entry is for a site that has been referenced many times on the opie and anthony show on xm. it is also linked through in the opie and anthony wikipedia entry. it is not an advertisement for the site as the site does not charge for membership nor sell any goods or services. it is merely an historical reference to a site that is part of the opie and anthony radio show. i have added a link to the opie and anthony wikipedia article that contains a link to the site.I also refer to this wikipedia entry as precedent for the article- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wackbag.com 16:00 5 February 2006 Morgansh
Although the article is written by its subject, it contains a reasonable, good faith assertion of notability. The subject appears to be a regularly published expert on a significant industrial process, and while this may not be as significant to many editors as, say, a Pokemon card, a woman who pretends to marry a dolphin, or Kadee Strickland, industrial processes and experts on them certainly meet Wikipedia criteria for notability. If Badger's status as an expert is disputed, that should be the subject of substantive discussion in a standard AFD. Monicasdude 14:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

An anonymously created, few-lined article about a message board that no longer exists. ~ Hibana 02:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I added additional information about the notability of this individual. He was a well known local New Mexico artist in the era before the web, while not as widely well know as someone like Georgia O'Keefe. The fact that there's not much about him on the web may be because he died just around the time the web was getting off the ground. The explanation of speedy deletion seems unclear to me on the question of whether I should remove the hangon tag. It looked like I'm supposed to remove it after adding to the talk page, so I did. I'm hoping the removal of the hangon tag is not interpreted as meaning I want the article deleted. The article is admittedly incomplete. I don't know the dates for Tommy Macione, but am hoping another Wikipedian will know and will edit and improve the article.

The current page is very poor, but it is not a totally non-notable film producer with quite a number of google hits. I prefer to see this one {{prod}}ed and people a chance to extend it. Dr Debug (Talk) 07:38, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Please do not delete this. Brian Le is an up and coming star from Edison, New Jersey. I felt this is the best way to get other people to notice him (as of now, under the circumstances his managers are in right now). Although basically everything on the page is inside jokes, more facts will be added at a laeter time. PLEASE DO NOT DELETE!
I think it is very unfair how you guys delete these things without listening to what the creator has to say. You know how many times I've tried to create a brian Le wiki, and howmany times its gotten deleted? THis was supposed to be a good surprise for him. But now I guess not. There's no use creating a new one now, because you guys are going to delete that too.
- You really should check out the Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not, Wikipedia:Vanity_guidelines, and Wikipedia:Notability_(people) pages. 'up and coming' tends to be not enough (See notability). And 'to get other people to notice' falls under 'vain'. The fact that the content is inside jokes makes it fall under the 'idiosynchratic' guideline. Now, if Mr. Le becomes 'notable' to more than just his circle of friends, then write a well-rounded article, and it will probably stay. You don't say how he is "up and coming," but if it is as a musician, check out Wikipedia:Notability_(music). Basically, even a really big local music scene star isn't big enough. One way to determine if the subject is important enough? Would this person be featured in a paper encyclopedia? Would this person be the subject of an article in a major national magazine? (Even if it's a limited-target-audience magazine.) Does this person's name generate a substantial number of independent hits on Google? No offence to Mr. Le, but if he's notable enough to be in Wikipedia, someone who DOESN'T personally know him will add the article. Ehurtley 09:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Text all changed. The orig version was copied from my web site, so copyright is not a problem, you have permission to use it! However I see the point from an "original content" point of view. Just wanted to get something up when I saw the gap in Wiki.

This article was created a reference to this team. I decicded to add it because this is the only way that this team will be recognized. I want my friends to be noticed for a change and i alos want to spread the word of this team out to the people at my school. Hopefully i will be able to get many other students to play against my friends' team. i also beleive that my friends have earned their place here.
I am denying deletion due to the fact that the only reason is that Mike McNenney is not significant. N-Sync has a page and they're scum on the bottom of my shoes. I rest my case, dont delete my page.
- In order to be included in Wikipedia a biographical article must pass the tests laid out in WP:BIO and the related guideline. If you article were A) Not autobiographical and B) Not WP:VANITY and if you were a notable person, your article would be included. In order to get your article added you should A) become notable and B) get someone to write an article about you.

This page cannot be deleted. the band is the first of a new generation of new orleans music formed immediately after hurricane katrina. they represent the american spirit and willingness to thrive under dire circumstances
- The article was clearly nominated because it fails WP:MUSIC which contains guidelines regarding what makes a band or musician notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Read that document and if you can fix the article to prove that the band meets the guidelines, then you can save it from deletion.
This might have originally a school essay posted here, but the book itself might be notable enough to justify a cleanup instead (the article's not too far off in format). Can we take this over to AfD? Daniel Case 04:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Please don't delete this or any pages with a band member's name in it. They requested me to do this. They are a real ska band from Waterford Michigan.
- See Wikipedia:Notability_(music). If they're notable enough, someone independent of them will create an article. If not, then it's just self-promotion. Ehurtley 09:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I notice that you have marked my entry for Global Lifeline as one to be deleted.
Sorry I am new here, but noticed that a lot of forums have entries on Wikipedia that's why I created one for Global Lifeline.
I am only a member of that site not the owner or an admin/mod of the site.
I apologise if I have broken any rules of Wikipedia but as other forums have entries about their site which include a link I thought it would be a good idea.
Was wondering what the consensus of deleting Steve Salisbury was, noticed the article a few days ago which has now disappeared.

Please don't delete...I created this article as I live in Melbourne and listen to this very entertaining show on SEN in Melbourne. It is informative and, to my knowledge, the only american sport radio in AUstralia, definitely the only one in Melbourne and it caters to thousands of expat Americans living in Australia as well as the countless Australians who love American sport. He is very knowledgeable and funny and opinionated and gracious as a host. Based on the most recent ratings report, many listeners are tuning into this guy's show at the lousy time of 10pm Sundays and I believe he is a talented up and comer and would appear to be going places in Australian radio. It seems many people share this opinion. The show broadcasts over they get emails from listeners overseas all the time. Under the SEN1116 article, there are references to many other radio presenters who work at the station. [[User:SealobynSealobyn 12:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)]]
It may be a simple page just now but please don't delete it will be updated as soon as
There has been no specific reason given for TvRage to be deleted from Wikipedia. We were listed once before, but were removed because, and I quote, "We were not in Alexa's top 100,000 websites." As of today, we currently rank #75,899. Link for proof: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=tvrage.com . Our recent discussions of being netural have been taken care of, as I personally went through and removed all the comments that were addressed by the user. We have met every single demand Wikipedia has thrown at us, and yet the website is still be demanded to be deleted. I demand to know why we have been brought up for deletion again! And we want actual reasons why, not just some biast user demanding we be removed because they don't like us. Or an opposing website demanding we be removed to get rid of competition.

- This article is now getting a full-blown AfD, so there's no more speedy deletion to oppose. An admin can pull this at will, or do whatever it is they do with these once they're settled. --Aaron 03:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't think the page should be deleted as it makes referance to two music acts that are up and coming and Pauls involvement in the management and marketing of said acts —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paulm1987 (talk • contribs) .
- Delete — Fails WP:MUSIC, not notable. Once more, with feeling, first you get famous, then you get an article. Not the other way around.
— Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) – February 21, 2006, 15:21 (UTC)
It is true, this page was deleted recently, but the AfD came up without my knowledge or the knowledge of those who would be interested the the article--a reader alerted me after the deletion that the article no longer existed. My site's been running for 11 years, it's been featured in the New Yorker, involved in a fair amount of controversy over the Dysfunctional Family Circus in 2000, during which I was in several newspaper and radio interviews, etc.
I don't think there are many personal sites that can say they've been operating since 1995, and though it's not as happenin' as it used to be, I think there's a qualifying amount of history to make the grade. I mean, if a flash in the pan like The Ha! Ha! Guy can get an article...
The delete votes were also partially based on erroneous information--I did not write the majority of the article (I am the only webmaster) and I am not a "red link" (though I'm not clear why this would make a difference anyway).
I'm not fully informed on how the delete process works, so I don't know if this makes sense, but: if we could stop the speedy delete I'd be happy to go through the AfD again, because this time I would be able to tell my readers that it's happening and they could voice their objections. If it's going to be decided on the basis of popularity or notability, that should decide it for sure either way. --Spinn 15:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep: This isn't a vanity site. My web site is a vanity site, one that's been around almost as long, but has virtually no readership. By contrast, this web site has a rich readership of professionals with a wicked sense of humor, the sort of humor that helped bring about the Dysfunctional Family Circus. For the DFC alone, Spinnwebe should live in the Wikipedia so folks know a little more about the site that spawned the DFC, and some of the other amusing things wrought by Spinnwebe. --TreyVanRiper
- Keep: First off, I have yet to see an actual, viable, sensible reason why the article should be deleted. Spinnwebe is certainly notable for, among other things, the Dysfunctional Family Circus, a popular internet phenomenon, which came to an end with a public conflict between Family Circus creator Bil Keane and the creator of spinnwebe. This conflict was widely reported on in the press and highlighted various aspects of the use of copyrighted material for parody. This incident alone makes spinnwebe notable and this article worth keeping, and this is just one of many features of the site. --notmydesk
- Keep: As mentioned, this is both not a vanity site, nor is this a vanity article. I was the one who created the original article, and far from being a contributor to Spinnwebe, was actually the subject of Greg's humor back in 2000. It's also notable for its being the former home of the DFC, as others have mentioned. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep:Sorry about the "recreation of deleted material" but when I went to the site it did not say that it had been deleted ... it just said that no article existed (and I knew one did, so I looked it up in my webcache and replaced it). I didn't see any link to a mention of a vote for deletion. I vote strong keep on this one. I am not a web admin on this site but a repete visitor (for 10 years). As said before it is without a doubt is notable because of the DFC but the page has many other merits and long term readership that merit it having its own article. JohnRussell 17:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: This site is 98% based on intelligent (sometimes irreverent) humor. It's been consistently entertaining thousands and thousands of internet surfers for over a decade, myself included. I've been a contributor to Spinnwebe since 1996 and continue to visit the site on a daily basis. Whether it's photograph captions submitted by visitors or a story written by Spinn, there is non-stop amusement available for everyone. I've been entertained regularly for 10 years and have never once had to give Spinnwebe.com a single cent. If anything, keep Spinnwebe.com because it might be the single best charity on the web: Free laughter. K-Man 17:57, 22 February 2006
- I went through the AfD recommendations, and it said if you don't agree with the consensus for deletion, recreate the page and add to the article to improve it to a state where you think it overcomes the shortcomings that made it deletable. I didn't recreate it, but I think I added some context in it that supports the article's notability. --Spinn 18:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - Spinnwebe is part of Internet history and is certainly notable. The links to MSM coverage of the DFC controversy clearly satisfy condition 1 of WP:WEB. DenisMoskowitz 18:31, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete My god people. This has already been chosen to be deleted and all the people that are posting here to "keep" are associated with the website. The fact is that it is nn and we wouldn't even be having this discussion if the people from your website had not recreated the page that the wikipedia community had already decided to delete. Lastly, you should know that Wikipedia is not a democracy, I hope that when the Administators see this they rememeber that.--Jersey Devil 20:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Again: I followed the guidelines for If you disagree with the consensus, which in itself should remove the article as a candidate for speedy deletion. And I'm unclear on your criteria for "people associated with the site" or why it's significant; I am the only webmaster for the site, and the other people are interested parties over which I have no control. I didn't even know who John Russell was before today. Schumin's even someone I spent a fair amount of effort making fun of, and even now I can't say we're friends...I have no idea why he's defending the article, really.
- Believe me or not, but I'm pretty sure everything here is going according to Wikipedia's policies. --Spinn 20:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep; I'm not a neutral party either (though I am a regular Wikipedia contributor); but one of the five count'em five delete votes is just as non-neutral-- Elkman is a disgruntled ex-contributor to Spinnwebe. Zompist 20:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I'll admit some non-neutrality in that. But even so, I still don't see the article as being encyclopedic. If I somehow didn't have a right to vote on the VfD, bring it up with an administrator. --Elkman 00:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Also, "disgruntled ex-contributor" isn't an accurate description. Try "annoying hanger-on", as that's the way I was seen by several administrators of Spinnwebe. I don't think anyone really saw what I did there as a constructive "contribution". But I'll make a deal: If there's another VfD on this page, I'll recuse myself from the votes. --Elkman 00:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- When 'delete' people are making a big issue out of 'keep' people being "people from the website" or "meatpuppets", then it's relevant if one of the five original delete votes was from a non-neutral party. I think your vote is as good as anyone's; but then so is that of any Wikipedian who also happens to personally know Spinn. Zompist 04:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment that wikipedia policy is created with the intention that if an article is deleted by afd and someone comes back and makes significant improvement to the article in order to make it a viable article then it can not be speedy deleted. This article however is the exact same article that was deleted by afd before. As a matter of fact, John Russell earlier in this page points out the fact that he just c&ped the old article not knowing that it had been deleted.--Jersey Devil 20:50, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- But...it...isn't the same. I added to it to show notability. Which is what was missing, right? So I addressed the issue under which it was erroneously deleted. --Spinn 20:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed. Take a look at the differences between John Russell's recreated article and the current one and you can see that this article has improved a lot in the last 19 hours. DenisMoskowitz 22:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Again, you know very well that is not what I am talking about. The old article was almost identical to this one here is a copy of it. That copy is the one that was voted to be deleted, not that short stub. Also, please do not remove the Speedy Deletion template. The fact that people would sink to that low of removing templates in order to try and save an article speaks really bad of the side who wishes to save the article.--Jersey Devil 00:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Your language suggests we're fighting against you personally. I'm not, honest. Saying we've "sunk low" and talking about "sides" and "you know very well", &c. makes me think you're taking this too emotionally. Just look at it on the face of it: four of the five "delete" votes said to delete on the grounds the site isn't notable. The updates to the article (and there are clear and valid changes, links to independent print publications that easily clear Wikipedia's notability standards) demonstrate its notability. By Wikipedia policy, I've improved the re-created article to address the reason it was deleted. It's a done deal. I'd remove the speedy delete template myself, but it'd look bad because it's my site, and because I don't wannt get all revert-warry over it. --Spinn 00:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I have no connection whatever to Spinnwebe, and haven't even looked at it in years, but it's a historically notable site in my opinion. My understanding of the process is that removing the speedy template was the right thing to do (see SchuminWeb's note on your own talk page, JerseyDevil). :Either way, this discussion has gotten to be a mess. Time to take a step back, forget about whether process has been observed (there's obviously a difference of opinion about that), and focus instead on whether Wikipedia is imporved by this article. I say yes. rodii 00:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it shouldn't be deleted! --Dr. Schwanz 22:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

===Sponge Bob Pore=== 14:39, 225 February 2006 (PTC) This character acutally exists at a site called [The World of Sponge Bob Pore]. Please do not delete it, as I am a huge fan of this. Plus, Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom is just a flash, and it gets to stay.

I am really working on this Computer Bot, as fast I can, and will be putting the information, examples and basic development information on this page, so please do not delete it, thanks! --StrikerBack 03:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Marked for speedy as "non-notable." Is that really a CSD? I agree the article seems to be about a non-notable syndication format, but it seems like the author should be able to make his or her case. I would like to downgrade this to {{prod}} or AfD.
OK, this is now {{db-author]], so the above objection is withdrawn. · rodii · 21:42, 27 February 2006 (UTC) --also, I had some edit difficulties on earlier versions of this--sorry about that. · rodii ·
Does not need to be deleted, wikipedia.org is here so that people can find information about lesser known athletes and people.
Hello, this is no commercial content, its only our history. We are the oldest brewery from sweden.
Vanity page AfD listing has turned into a ridiculous free-for-all: page author/subject has now resorted to spamming.
The building of this page will be a gradual process, and the band itself is making constant progress, but it provides genuinely legitimate information about a little-known but growing underground rock band from Birmigham, and deserves to be read by those who are interested. Please show some respect and allow the article to stand for the moment. It will grow.
This page will gradually build into a student guide to life in Preston, Lancashire. It is intended to guide current and prospective students on live in the city. It is currently only a profile of someone who i will be working closely with on this project.
In my opinion although this article contains many links to others it, itself serves any purpose other than to promote the creator. I feel that this self promtion has no place on wikipedia, as it serves no purpose to other users.
