[edit] Notability of Rock Slope

A tag has been placed on Rock Slope, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 00:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My mum

I love that insult. It's so generic and innoffensive in of itself, but most readers see it as highly inflammitory because of the tacit bits. Plus it's got this whole Catholic "mother as virgin" thing going for it, despite the clear logical fallicy: She wouldn't be a mum if someone hadn't... anyway, about Rock Slope:

Please don't get too cranky about it. It's been handled a bit badly all around and everyone could be a little bit nicer to each other, but it is really just business as usual: Squillions of things get deleted every day. It's not personal.

I'm happy to restore the article into someone's userspace where they can work on getting some sources for it, as long as I'm asked nicely.

PS - Despite the section above, there is no consensus that removing notes from your own talk page is forbidden. It's _frowned upon_ by some people, but not by everyone. Better to just repsond to or ignore comments than remove then I say, but that's just me.

Cranky? Me? I thought the Catholic jab was a bit below the belt, but I'm willing to let it pass. It's all just a bit of fun, isn't it? You'd bloody love the Slope if you gave them a chance - especially their 1999 opus "Rock Slope Has The Right To Children". Go and read what the reviewers have to say about them, then decide...

As for removing notes, if I had pages and pages of bilge on my user-page, like our chum Ryan, I wouldn't mind so much, but I like it clean and pure, and to have a great big rollicking telling-off as the first thing one can see, well, it sticks in my craw. Anyway, I see Ryan makes a habit of going about removing things all day long. Perhaps he'll make a good surgeon after all.Cravenmonket 15:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catholics

Please could you elaborate on your claim on my talk page that I hate catholics? RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 16:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh come on Ryan. Somewhere deep inside you there is a humourous person, isn't there? It wasn't a claim, it was a question. And when you spell "Catholic" with a small "c", it generally means "universal". Cravenmonket 16:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Hurrah! (cvrnmnkt extends warm Catholic handshake to fellow Englishman and Christian, Ryan)Cravenmonket 17:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
