[edit] Unsafe camp
Nonsense linkspam. This user has posted links to this site in several other articles pretaining to cryptozoology, and in the cryptozoology article itself. --Aurochs 01:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I had alredy nominated the article for speedy deletion (see here) but the user (152.22.18.16) removed it (see here); but i guess it's better if it goes through the afd process rather than being speedy deleted.--Carabinieri 13:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe some self promotion but not entirely. There is merit regarding folklore and history. Sorry about the removal of your process flag. Just learning. --User:152.22.18.16 14:22, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- I fail to see what Bigfoot has to do with hobo camps. The article itself has the same name as the linked image, so I'm not abandoning my spam argument yet. --Aurochs 16:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- What does Bigfoot have to do with hobo camps? I'm not sure either but my best search for a hobo campsite symbol illustration yielded the link. I just thought it was a nice illustration of a hobo camp and hobo symbols.User:152.22.18.16 17:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- You also added this link to Cryptozoology, Bigfoot, Chupacabra, and Jackalope. None of those articles are in particular need of new images. Further, this article reads as if it was an explanation of all hobo signs, while the "unsafe area" symbol is only one of them. --Aurochs 19:37, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Granted, the hobo signs pages have merit, but not one of the Hobo signs pages makes an attempt to illustrate what an [Unsafe Camp] could be. --User:152.22.18.16 20:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Why do we need an illustration of this? Any sane reader (and probably most insane readers) could imagine what might constitute an unsafe campsite. And why do we need an entire article devoted to one sign? --Aurochs 21:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Actually those links added were to a slightly different site I believe. There was a whole array of these things they call [cryptids] and some other interesting illustrations. Sorry I just thought there were some things on that page wholly unaddressed by any other single page. --User:152.22.18.16 20:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Examples? Maybe you could make articles on the criptids in question? --Aurochs 21:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

- Not necessarily nonsense. Citing hobo symbols link. --User:152.22.18.16 14:22, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- IMHO, I simply feel that deleting this article would result in a huge loss for Wikipedia. The hobo culture is often overlooked in texts...please do not make the same mistake here. --User:24.167.152.21 00:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- ¿Que? --Aurochs 02:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Que buena informaccion a saber.--user:huckit 09:21, 5 October 2005 (UTC) (user's first edit)
- ¿Que? --Aurochs 02:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep it. --User:huckit (this edit actually by 24.148.240.33 10:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC))
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 07:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Move to Hobo symbols or Hobo signs. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge this information into the hobo symbols section that already exists in the hobo article.--Isotope23 16:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge per Isotope23, else delete Jesse 18:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
