[edit] Alabama sledgehammer

I listed this page for proposal but the author disputed it. I believe that the article, which claims to describe an obscure act of sexual deviance, is non-notable and unverifiable. It's also possible that the article is a joke. See the discussion page for more details. D. Wu 22:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Save This - This is as valid as anything else, if you delete this it will just show how fascist wikipedia is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kingsofdarkion (talk • contribs) 12:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC). (acct created today)
  • SAVE THIS - Everything that needs to be said has been said below. This should be put to a democratic vote. Wikipedia would be doing the service a disfavour by removing this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.170.119.218 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC). (user's first edit)
  • Save This! Now I am furious. Does something have to be a pop culture icon to be notable? Isn't wikipedia for the free exchange of all knowledge, however ubscure and remote? Of course you wouldn't be able to find any of this stuff on google because it is an underground thing. If you base credability off of google searches you are not fit to oversee any intellectual exchange of ideas. There is information that hasnt been put onto the internet yet because some people want to keep things secret. I dare you to look into the public records of Pike County, and delete this only if you can prove me wrong, because public records are far more legitamate than google searches. And also, the parade isnt observed on main street Troy. The Troy Messanger published the article, but that is because it was the closest newspaper to the town of incident. The events happened in Banks Alabama. Also the parade is observed by a remote group of locals, and doesnt really attract too much media attention. Does your town newspaper announce every pumpkin carving contest? or every school dance? Please look actually do research before you discriminate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.235.245.200 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC). (user's first edit)

  • Delete as a hoax. The phrase "Alabama sledgehammer" gets zero, that's right, zero Google hits, an impressive feat by any standard. Aplomado - UTC 22:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for reasons listed above. DVD+ R/W 22:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per all of above. Probable hoax. --BillC 23:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, sounds VERY MUCH like a hoax and if it isn't Googlable it probably doesn't matter anyway. Badgerpatrol 23:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • BJAODN. Absolutely hilarious. This cracked me up: "Ronald Landers was a racecar driver, who had lived a life of fast cars and sodomy." Brian G. Crawford 01:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I second the BJAODN, not to mention that the picture is classic. Aplomado talk 01:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
