Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. The consensus is only marginal, but personally, lots of sock puppet "keep" votes weighs in towards a "delete" result for me. — JIP | Talk 16:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vanadu

• Delete, too specific to be encyclopedic. Citizen Premier 01:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Enhance, vanpools are an amazingly underutilised means of preserving the worlds natural resources. This page should be enhanced, not deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.171.27.70 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC); all edits have been to the article or this afd.
• Delete. Not notable and too specific. A page on vanpools might be a useful contribution, however. Jacob1207 03:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Neologism. An excellent example of a vanpool, it would make a good reference for a generic vanpool article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eeejay (talk • contribs) 21:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC); all edits have been to the article or this afd; also edited 67.171.27.70's comment above.
• Enhance. Vanadu is a noteworthy vanpool and can be used to further the understanding of vanpools. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nate Muller (talk • contribs) 20:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC); user's only edit.
• Article added for vanpools. This should help justify a need for the specific vanadu entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danrobbins (talk • contribs) 21:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC); user's only edits have been to this article, its afd, his user page, and a vanity article that I'm going to afd shortly -C.
• Keep. It makes sense to keep the reference to Vanadu as it's meaningful in the context of the article on vanpools. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tog (talk • contribs) 21:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC); user's only edit.
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. Delete, ridiculously non-notable, and RickK memorial sockpuppet limit has been radically breached. —Cryptic (talk) 08:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Who knew that sockpuppets drove vans? Capitalistroadster 10:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
  • They don't, they ride in them, y'see, saves petrol. Garrett^Talk 11:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all vanpools unless they consist of George W. Bush, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Jimbo. All others are non-notable. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m, +e ] 10:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm tempted to click my handy little tab right now, lemme tell ya. And I see I missed the Sockpuppets Synonymous meeting for the third week in a row, if I'm absent twice more I'll lose my membership card! :( Now 'scuse me while I go off and write about how many inches of our ozone layer I've saved by using CFC free deoderant and inhalers...

• Delete, but the comments made to keep the article are amusing. -- Kjkolb 11:43, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and merge into Car/Vanpool, until expanded. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:04, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn, puppetfest. Xoloz 16:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per the line: "Vanadu is one of 700 Vanpools operated by King County in Washington State as part of the rideshare program, the largest of it's kind in the United States." This is a strong argument for it being non-notable.--Isotope23 16:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to carpool as an example, and rename all sockpuppets either sifl, or, if necessary, ollie. Jesse 20:12, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nn local vanpool group. There are undoubtedly zillions of these. MCB 22:44, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable carpool group. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
