[edit] Talk:Derek Cheater

Yet another nonsensical article written on the talk page (compare Talk:Specie paradox, Talk:Single-vowel alphabet, Talk:New York conspiracy theory). Unlike the first two (which I've listed for speedy deletion), this one might have an ounce of relevance to reality that would cause people to vote to merge. Maybe. But I say delete. -- Perey 06:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, a stub on a Talk page. Megan1967 07:39, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, I suspect it's nothing more than an attack page. Do all these talk page articles come from the same person? Mgm|^(talk) 07:49, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure, they all come from (multiple) anonymous IPs. The person or people behind Talk:Specie paradox have also done assorted vandalisms, reverted some of them, and commented on the VfD for Talk:New York conspiracy theory to point out this page and Talk:Single-vowel alphabet! -- Perey 15:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Talk pages which have no accompanying article pages should be speedy deleted. RickK 18:39, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. I added a Patent Nonsense header to the page. Firebug 03:05, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I would have speedied this, except that since it's already being voted on here, I'll let it run its course. Accordingly, I removed Firebug's header.-gadfium 09:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Accordingly I have edited the article to read the following: "Derek Cheater is a derogatory nickname for New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter." IMO, it still should be removed. First of all, it is an orphaned Talk page. Secondly, this nickname doesn't have enough currency to deserve a redirect, much less a page of its own. Google shows only 117 hits. Compare to derisive Bush nicknames Commander Codpiece and Whistle Ass each of which shows well over a thousand hits and both of which the consensus on WP:RFD was to delete rather than redirect to List of U.S. Presidential nicknames.

• Delete, crap like this should be speedied, Bluemoose 15:39, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Should have been speedied for having no parent article, but might as well leave it until 06:47, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) now that it's been listed here, then delete. Niteowlneils 04:21, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: no argument here
