[edit] Byoblue

Byoblue (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Color name of questionable notability. — Laura Scudder ☎ 17:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I'd have said 'of no notability'. No currency outside the forum which named it. -- Bpmullins | Talk 20:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete One particular hex colour used on a website? No claims as-to its notability, so delete because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. (aeropagitica) 21:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete dumb. Danny Lilithborne 22:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No notability. ArchStanton 07:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Not Delete You guys aren't very BYOB you should really learn to chillax. :saddowns:--JettOutsider 17:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This color name is chillax and very notable. Everyone needs to know about it as much as Gray-Tea Green. 24.29.87.167 17:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• No Deleting This is a valuable colour like Gray-Tea Green 69.157.66.65 17:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, and page created yesterday out of Something Awful forums where it's deletion is being discussed. Static Universe 17:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The SA goons were nice enough to vandalize my link. :) Static Universe 17:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete' The original article (first in history) reads Byoblue is one of the colors used as a table post background for the forum BYOB on Something Awful. After much research, we found that it is not a named color and took it upon ourselves to name it byoblue. This seems to show that it is original research. Tens of thousands of color names are made up, e.g. by paint manufacturers and I see no cause to start collecting those with no cultural significance and not in any formal standard. Those not familiar with color science might like to note that there are 24 million hex color values, so a project to catalog them all exceeds the scope of Wikipedia.

Thus, why the original version was edited, since Byoblue is much more important than just a background color.
