[edit] Valloween

nonsense--Trovatore 06:03, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• speedy delete as patent nonsense. Author stripped speedy tag. --Trovatore 06:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC) (nominator)
  • As someone pointed out to me, the page probably doesn't really meet the definition of patent nonsense. Unfortunately it says in the definition that bad writing by itself isn't enough. Shouldn't it be, for sufficiently bad writing? Should people really have to try to decipher sentences like

The stood up promqueen with a chainsaw which has tiny candy hearts replacing the cutspurs, the ultimate love horror, the vampire with AIDS that can never die, and always wants more blood and cupid with poison laden arrows and just a few.   ? --Trovatore 15:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

• Due to the poor grammar, that quote you present out of context does indeed seem to make no sense, however you should read the sentence immediately preceding it: The holiday [Valloween] makes for great costuming ideas which are explored at parties held twice a year! The following sentence, then, is clearly just a list of some costumes that people might wear, as this is a combination of Halloween and Valentines. It does make sense, it just doesn't express it well. I stand by my vote to merge. --Qirex 22:39, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

• • • I know what it means. I just don't think anyone should have to try to figure it out. The encyclopedia will miss out on very little if we speedy everything written as poorly as that, or every article whose overall organization is as bad as this one's. --Trovatore 02:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Vandalism. --Wetman 09:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. To quote CambridgeBayWeather over at related delete nomination, Cosmic ray deflection society, "The group themselves may be spouting nonsense but that is not a reason to delete. I think these people, Heaven's Gate (cult) and Order of the Solar Temple, are also spouting nonsense (and a lot more dangerous) but I would not want to see them deleted. The reason here to delete is non-notability." If you want to vote on deletions, I suggest you read the articles and their links, and you'll see that, strangely enough, it is not a hoax or vandalism et al. However, it shouldn't have it's own article, it should be merged with the Cosmic ray deflection society article. --Qirex 11:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, the society isn't notable, so their holiday isn't notable. -- Kjkolb 03:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Cruft from nn group. Hilarious cruft, but cruft nontheless. Eaglizard 10:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I was happier when I first clicked it and saw someone had already speedy-tagged it... Bushytails 06:23, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
