[edit] Madoshi

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

Non-notable internet forum. 300* members isn't that impressive. Chairman S. TalkContribs 23:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, possibly speedily. The page history shows this to be already a vandal-magnet. The opening edit suggests that it may have been intended as an attack page. Rossami (talk) 01:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • So what exactly is the "policy" for a wikipedia entry? I thought this was a community-based encyclopedia, not a special club. There are far more useless entries on Wikipedia, I don't see how 50k of text is going to take up that much space on Wikipedia. Also, it isn't an attack page. The people being "attacked" are perfectly fine with the entry, and from now on I guess we'll stop purging unused accounts every 6 months in an effort to be "popular" enough for your blessed wikipedia. Praise be to Chairman S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.222.208.149 (talk)
  • UPDATE: I have had a cigarette since posting this, so I'm a wee bit calmer. I'm going to register and see about making a REAL madoshi wiki article thats locked, if thats possible. Sorry for the above statement, I'm not a morning person (or afternoon or evening). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.222.208.149 (talk)
  • For a forum such as yours to be eligible for a Wikipedia article, it must fit the criteria for notability set at WP:WEB - which it clearly does not. Wikipedia is not a special club - however, it is also not an indiscriminate source of information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a web directory, and as such, subjects contained within it must have a certain level of notability, relevance, and resonance amongst the wider community. The fact that your forum has been proposed (by me) for deletion is not a personal attack, nor is it a judgement on the quality of your web-site. It is simply done in order to keep Wikipedia running as a useful, intelligent, scholarly, and unbloated encyclopedia. Chairman S. Talk Contribs 14:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • As an additional note, I would prefer it if I was not attacked personally by Madoshi members. I have no more authority over this issue than anyone else on Wikipedia, I simply marked the article for potential deletion. If I hadn't done this, someone else would have. Deletions of this kind are decided by consensus. Chairman S. Talk Contribs 14:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - vandal magnet with no encyclopedic content. Desdinova 19:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
