[edit] Spyde

Looks like a vanity article. Article does not seem to establish notability and has no incoming links. "Spyde" gets 578 Google hits, but "Spyde #netsplit" gets only 87. I vote delete. — JIP | Talk 09:45, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, possible vanity. Even myself who uses a 'handle' only write about myself in my user page section. - Mailer Diablo 09:50, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 10:24, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Vote amended above given attempts by sockpuppets at a lack of originality. Megan1967 03:54, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• At this point, anon user:70.19.62.245 added a false vote to which he/she added the signature Megan1976's name. (Note the transposed digits.) User:Megan1976, a sockpuppet, edited the comment into a personal attack. User:Spyde, another sockpuppet, edited the comment to a different personal attack complete with another false signature. The comment was later deleted by user:Aerdil, a user with a very short contribution history.
• Keep, (personal attack deleted). JIPTHEGYPSY 69:69, 69 Mar 1969 (UTC)
  • This comment also added by User:Spyde
• why are there three lil ticks for bold :(, testing (ps keep) Megan1976 21:50, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • As noted above, this is a sockpuppet
• Keep, Tom joined the new order of Cadets of Temperance, being attracted by the showy character of their "regalia." He promised to abstain from smoking, chewing and profanity as long as he remained a member. New he found out a new thing-namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing. Tom soon found himself tormented with a desire to drink and swear; the desire grew to be so intense that nothing but the hope of a chance to display himself in his red sash kept him from withdrawing from the order. Fourth of July was coming; but he soon gave that up — gave it up before he had worn his shackles over forty-eight hours — fixed his hopes upon old Judge Frazer, justice of the peace, who was apparently on his death-bed and would have a big public funeral, since he was so high an official.

  • This vote actually added by user:Zoombini, another sockpuppet
• A long essay on Canadian history inserted next by user:Megan1976 which he/she deleted then reinstated. Later deleted by user:R. fiend
• User:Aerdil inserted a long poem next. Later deleted by user:R. fiend
• Keep, Just because someone might not be famous and such doesn't mean that they're not worthy to write about. Spyde is an extremely amazing person who has helped many through their ups and downs. Oh and thanks R. fiend for deleting my legitimate vote. Navy1 22:13, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC) This vote was deleted by user:R. fiend when he/she cleaned out the vandalism. It was probably a mistake, however, and the user added the comment back.
  • This vote doesnt count. No edits of this user besides this VfD at this moment. Mikkalai
• user:Megan1976 vandalizes this discussion page by adding a VfD header. Spyde continues to vandalize the page by editing other votes, etc. Later deleted by user:R. fiend
• Delete. Clearly nothing but a complete moron who vandalized this page. -R. fiend 22:08, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• delete. nonnotable. Mikkalai 23:43, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • This vote does not count. Please disregard. Zoombini
    • I think votes from real users like Mikkalai count more than votes from sockpuppets like Zoombini. — JIP | Talk 07:03, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• No evidence presented that the subject meets the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. Delete unless better evidence presented. Rossami (talk) 06:58, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity. I've never managed to get Alexa to serve me anything but a blank page, but Google finds exactly one hit for and no links to the "fast-growing website" that is apparently this person's biggest claim to fame. —Korath (Talk) 07:34, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity Feco 08:21, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity. And vandalizing the VfD discussion doesn't help. --cesarb 14:10, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- Won't be long now. - Longhair | Talk 07:35, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
