[edit] "Big" Dave Morine

Delivery guy for a local restaurant (which itself has a tenuous claim to notability). Speedy deletion contested with a message on the talk page. Weregerbil 09:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Did an admin remove the speedy tag? I can't see how his response makes the article notable. Wikipedia isn't for things made up in school one day. MyNameIsNotBob 10:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I removed the speedy tag (which I added in the first place) after the article author {{hangon}}'ed it and wrote the talk page comment. I thought the process is meant to be speedy -> contest -> take to Afd — but now that you mention it I'm not that sure who can delete a speedy tag and what is supposed to happen...

• This wasnt made up, as it is a tradition of many Marvin's drivers to become legendary around the campus of DePauw for having trademark phrases or some other silly quirks that actually makes people who order from the resaurant specifically ask for a certain driver. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.120.72.157 (talk • contribs).
• Retort Though I do not believe it to be to the extent of the tale tales and folklore shared by a state. DePauw University is a community that shares a specific identity that is tied to things such as it's local restaurant and it's employees. No it has yet to be expanded specifcally to state some of the local legends surrounding said drivers, but these individuals should not be looked at as just ordinary people but as literary figures of an oral tradition. thepenrod 06:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
