[edit] 68k Macintosh Liberation Army

Non-notable webforum. Non-encyclopediodic. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 22:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Against Deletion (Vote #1 - Do Not Delete)

• I recommend not deleting this entry. I googled for sites pertaining to old macintosh hardware and software and this is about the only site that is updated regularly and has an active community. Just because a site doesn't have x amount of users doesn't mean it isn't noteworthy. Notability is a highly subjective term. Also, there is a similar entry for a group calling themselves Fairlight which has been up for about a year now and no one has deleted it. The Lightning Stalker 07:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Ok, first "per nom" means based on the reasoning of the nominator, which was for deletion. Second of all, these edits were made by 162.40.139.40 (if I am reading the history correctly). So what exactly is going on here? JoshuaZ 06:37, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. For those who are voting to Delete, please note: Google has 46,100 results for '68k Macintosh Liberation Army'. It is certainly notable and worthy. — Wackymacs 09:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Do not delete, allow for modifications to structure first. /IMac600 03:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment You can modify the structure all you want, it's the content that's non-notable, and for the foreseeable future will not be. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 04:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Honestly, i've seen worse articles here. You documented Uncyclopedia, doesn't that say something? And, before you give us the Google chat, that organisation has more base system than this place does, so if it's not valid then this place 'aint either. I know I placed my Wikipedia membership at risk here, but if it's to uphold the dignity of the 68kMLA then I would put my entire career on the line.

Another thing to note is that a standard click of your provided link (to Google) turned up many links, all of them are different, each from one of the 30 system servers, past and present, of the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army.

Oh, but my response, don't take it personally, as stated by your rules. /IMac600 13:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For Deletion (Vote #1 - Delete Per Nom)

• delete per nom Bucketsofg 23:51, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Cool3 02:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There isn't an issue of not liking it. Wikipedia has guidelines about Notability and websites which this article does not fit.

Comment above is incorrect Actually, it only has two pages worth. See "[1]", which only shows 2 pages, and the rest "results omitted". And the majority of those two pages are forum posts. In fact there are only 20 links to it on google, the remaining slew of them are links to individual posts on the forums. Nice try though. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 09:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 05:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Inappropriate use of abbreviation MLA MLA 11:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
  • MLA has been the abbreviation for Macintosh Liberation Army for many years now, well over 6-7 years. Generally the base of your argument would require the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army forums would also modify its system, and i've said it plenty of times, it 'aint gonna' happen. iMac600
    • Commentt You may want to look at humor. Also, who the heck modified this deletion entry wtih del and don't del sections? A) We have a standard format without these B) votes against deletions are generally labeled keep, not "do not delete". JoshuaZ 14:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Notability and usefulness aren't the same. I voted to delete a page that I had in my bookmarks. Useful for me; but non-notable in general. --Mmx1 22:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
