[edit] The Video Intelligence Agency
This is an article about a non-notable (somewhat secret?) group. The phrase only gets 91 google hits many of which seem coincidental. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 06:22, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Surprisingly, this does not seem to be a joke or hoax. They actually do have a website. The website is in Norwegian. Since I can’t read Norwegian, I would like to see some comments here from some of our Norwegian contributors on the notability of this group. This Wikipedia article does not assert notability, so we need more input. ◎DanMS 17:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Whether they're real or not, the article says they're seven men who meet on a Sunday to watch videos together. You don't have to read Norwegian to see that the site is a joke: visit the "press" link and marvel at their mad photoshopping skillz... or not, as the case may be. — Haeleth Talk 19:22, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Delete I speak Norwegian, live in Norway and have never heard anything about them. Their home page is generally an explanation that all they do is to be lazy and watch movies, but now have started to do it not only as a group of friends, but with others (interprited by me as women) as well. this is their "cinema".
From their page (translated directly from regler (rules): The five basic rules
- To serve the movie, lazyness and the honor of the film.
- Follow the VIA's secret code to the last letter
- Avoid physical activity
- Turn the day around (be awake at night, sleep during the day)
- Get drunk at least twice a week
I believe this is pure BS and should be deleted as soon as possible. EliF 00:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- Strong delete per EliF. I am not a fan of vanity articles which try to make their subjects look mysterious; if the article writer knows something about the subject, he should say it rather than leave the facts in a haze. --Metropolitan90 03:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
