[edit] Gallery of motorcycle trikes

As per the precedence found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallery of motorized bicycles this article is also a type of POV fork; unless of course there was some error in the method of the deletion of the article gallery of motorized bicycle. If Gallery of motorcycle trikes is kept, it goes against the aforementioned precedence. That would be logical grounds to commence an appeal for the undeletion of Gallery of motorized bicycles. (Aside: I would like to see the undeletion of that page). --CylePat 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: This is a bad-faith nomination. For the record, and without voting, I made this page to remove these images from the page on tricycle, where in my opinion they overbalanced the article and distracted from the general treatment of tricycles. I did not try to find out if they were already pictured in other articles, and do not actually care one way or the other whether this article lives or dies. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

comment: I must agree with user:Bikeable, It doesn't quite meet the WP:NOT criteria. I didn't think of that. So the above precedence doesn't really apply anymore because that article had text describing the photo's and cross references with the main article motorized bicycle. I'm not sure if it's proper form to vote when you nominate an article, but if I could I guess it would be a delete. --CylePat 00:03, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as a bad faith nomination. CyclePat, PLEASE stop gaming the system. That's all this is. It's just like how you put up an article for deletion on electric bicycle hoping that it would fail. It's against policy. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 03:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I created this, Pat nominated it as retaliation for deletion of gallery of motorized bicycle. As it happens the Commons linnk is acceptable to me, my sole concern was to avoid simply deleting the pictures and thus sparking a possible edit war. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

  • Delete. Questions of bad-faith actions aside, Wikipedia is not a photo gallery. --LesleyW 07:19, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per LesleyW. Hamster Sandwich 11:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with tricycles, although I think this nomination is an example of disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. -12:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Take note: (above comment was from User:Scm83x) (I think WP:POINT is negligible or practically non existent but please leave your comments why on my user talk:CyclePat) An identical "gallery" page can be found at the commons:commons:Motorcycle#trikes, The information still exists (unlike the difficult time I am having now trying to do the same for gallery of motorized bicycles. There really is no need for a merge here. --CylePat 16:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
    • According to WP:DP this article should be merged because all the info, already exists at the commons page "some other article". If we follow delete policy we should redirect to the commons. Should we continue with this deletion or redirect? --CylePat 17:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
