[edit] Esker Melchior

This was tagged for an A7, I (perhaps hastily) deleted it as an attack page. The creator has objected, so I'm listing it here for a transparent debate (no vote). --Doc (?) 10:41, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete VERY narrow scope. NN Qaz (talk) 11:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Qaz (talk) Dlyons493 Talk 13:28, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete first of all due to lack of notability. It may have helped slightly if it was actually funny, but this is not. -- Egil 15:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Un-encyclopedic; sure looks like an attack page. (I was the person who nominated this as a speedy). While I despise the tactics of SCO, and am general a fan of including borderline-notable articles, articles on unremarkable posters on message boards don't belong on Wikipedia. Regardless of whether this is an attack, someone wanting to give credit to a rather funny troll, or vanity--this isn't appropriate for here. --EngineerScotty 18:10, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete The answer can only be to delete, however fond of Esker I am. However, the material could be re-sourced to a yahoo trolls page, like Slashdot_trolling_phenomena. Vryl 13:46, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Actually a pity, since I think Esker has the potential to become a phenomenon throughout forum boards all over the internet, but I agree that at this point, this is too narrow in scope. Note that it's not an attack though, everybody loves the guy as far as I can tell. --195.216.66.1 07:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
