[edit] Silly apple club

A high school club with one Google hit. Zoe 05:49, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep This is a legitimate article. It does not violate any current wiki policy according to WP:NOT. Additionally, there is no current wiki policy on subject importance, which many here have discussed. See Wikipedia:Importance.--lovedmc12 07:11, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

User's first edit. "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia." --TheMidnighters 14:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep this club has quite a cult following, and a website with examples of videos is in the works sillythekid (author)

• Delete. From four to over 50,000 members worldwide almost overnight, now we are getting into silly, and it appears the drawers been opened already. Alf 21:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if wikipedia wants to remain an oasis of free exchange on the internet, we must allow entries like this to exist. This is a legitimate article, despite it's extreme exaggeration. If wikipedia does not allow silliness to exist, who will? User:sillythekidskid 22:13, 28 August 2005

Comment: Rules aside, say this encylopedia lasts and expands for the next thirty years, how long do you think it will take to sort through all the silliness to get to some encyclopedic fact? I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, when I reference this wiki I expect to find and be informed of what I'm looking for. Say every small club, shop, website, film, book and building got in - theres a discussion about roads going on now, how many roads are there? I hope this puts the peeps and puppets here in the right perspective, anyone? Alf 22:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

More important than the amount of roads is the amount of roads a man must walk down, methinks.

Comment:Are you concerned about having to flip through too many pages? Will the hard-bound book of "wikipedia" become too cumbersome to carry around? As long as a page is relevant and factual, there is no reason to exclude it because of some "encyclopaedic standard," which is not strictly defined in any wiki policy.--lovedmc12 01:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete because Wikipedia is not "an oasis of free exchange on the internet." It is an encyclopedia. -- BD2412 ^talk 23:33, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• comment It may be an encyclopedia, but the only redeeming quality to Wikipedia that distinguishes it from more reputable encyclopedias is the fact that it is created by regular people, and has a relatively informal tone. Don't take Wikipedia too seriously.steiner1000 03:19, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per most every delete vote above. FreplySpang (talk) 03:21, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete The author showed up on a forum that I frequent, asking the regular forumites to vote for it's permanence. I don't think that some high school kid's hobby deserves to be on Wikipedia.

Comment: I assume that you are referring to the numerous posts on the PSM forum, which were unsolicited posts not made by this article's author. The Silly Apple Club is not a hobby; it's a movement. sillythekidskid

• Comment In response to the above comment I would just like to say that me and my associates who work on another site also like to think of our site as a movement. But considering the staggering number of "movements" lately, ours has gotten lost in the quagmire of "movements." The moral here is that we don't go making articles on our own obscure little site, so why should you?
• Comment one could just as easily ask, because these people do go around making articles about obscure subjects, why shouldn't you?
• delete nn. __earth 04:56, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, per everyone else on the page. --PatadyBag 04:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn, and of course socks. --TheMidnighters 05:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator, and to tick off the socks. MysteryDog 15:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, and note that this is not a vote. It is an attempt to reach consensus of the community. Everyone heading over from the "Silly Apple Club" to try and get the article kept, your votes will be summarily disregarded- you're not automatically part of the community if you come here to vote, even if you register accounts. ral315 17:32, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Comment "Wikipedia improves through not only the hard work of more dedicated members, but also through the often anonymous contributions of many curious newcomers." Summarily disregarded? I sure hope not. --lovedmc12 01:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nn, etc. Impressive show of sockpuppetry, though.
