[edit] Tribune for the Retarded Monkey

Article about what seems to be a non-notable tech website. (When I visited the site, only two people were logged on the forums, including myself as a guest). I originally speedy deleted it, but the author of the original page posted the following on the talk page. I still don't think it's notable enough for inclusion, but out of courtesy to the author, I thought perhaps it merits a debate. Jasmol 00:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• from the author Hello, We appreciate your concerns with the safety and protection of Wikipedia, but we're a little upset about our entries and how they have been reacted to. We can assure you and the rest of the Wikipedia Counter-Vandalism Team that we wish no harm. "Tribune for the Retarded Monkey" or "TRM" is in no way meant to be offensive to anyone. It is also not 'nonsense' but as the first ammendment states, you are entitled to your opinion. All we wish to do, is to reach to a broader audience so we could obtain an increase in publicity. If this violates any of Wikipedia's rules, we apologize sincerely. Thank You. -The TRM Forum-

• Delete as per Jasmol. I got no hits for a search for "Tribune for the Retarted Monkey" see [1] so verifiability problems. Having two people in the forum indicates that it doesn't meet our notability requirements outlined in our Wikipedia:Websites guidelines. Capitalistroadster 02:42, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
