[edit] Habbo Raid
Who feels like writing up an article on the Habbo Hotel raid? I certainly can't—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.65.110.117 (talk • contribs).
- It's a non-notable event. —
this is messedrocker(talk)17:20, 13 September 2006 (UTC)- Agree'd. Non Notable. This applies to most all fads, raids, memes or any other popular acts of the week. Please don't add the Habbo raid to the article, it will be removed. --KPWM_Spotter 21:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I also agree with the two previous editors. Not only would it be non-notable, but it also has a relatively high chance of containing libelous material considering the context in which the events took place. Canadian-Bacon t c e 21:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- How exactly would it be libellous to say "folks from YTMND, 4chan, etc. raided Habbo"? Though, the section WOULD be notable if Habbo issued a statement and added limitations to registration. —
this is messedrocker(talk)21:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)- The libelous part would come if it was mentioned that the raid was partially an attempt to glorify 9/11 (Note that the original posters for the raid were an airplane crashing into a hotel) and also to glorify the recent death of Steve Irwin and revenge on Stingrays(There were frontpage stories today of the Irwin family condeming the apparent revenge-killings by the Autralian public of Stingrays). Maybe libelous isn't the best word to describe it...maybe more along the lines of promoting terrorism and ecological destruction. Canadian-Bacon t c e 22:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- The libel issue isn't what's important, as I don't consider libel a problem unless its an attack on individual Wikipedians. But the non-notability is DEFINITELY a reason not to have it. Although if the events can be verified in reliable secondary sources, it can be included within the main YTMND article. Sir Crazyswordsman 17:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- YTMND Wiki will have, if it doesn't already, an article on the raid. —

- Having just checked, I can confirm that the YTMND Wiki has neither an article on the raid, nor on Habbo itself. As far as I am aware, the Wiki is based more around the happenings on YTMND itself.
- Besides, wasn't this raid carried out mostly by 4chan? That was always how I saw it.--Dreaded Walrus 17:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picard Song?
Why does The Picard Song redirect to this article? Crimson Shadow 22:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Picard song is one of the well known "classic" fads at YTMND. While they did not create it, there is no better article to redirect to. The true creator (DarkMateria) would classify as NonNotable on it's own. --KPWM_Spotter 00:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
