Mightning bolt (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Has been speedied multiple times and keeps coming back. Completely non-notable. Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 20:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Note: Someone should probably also block the creator and these glaringly obvious sockpuppets of his as well. I'll probably go through and tag them all later if I need to, but at the moment I'm a little bit too lazy to bother.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 20:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete. per nom. -- Redfarmer (talk) 20:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep -97.81.32.245 (talk) 20:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Care to provide a rationale? This is not a vote. You need some kind of reason for why it should be kept. Or would you rather just continue to vandalize wikipedia and remove warnings?--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 20:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey now, I am just trying to add some info to wiki, not vandalize it -97.81.32.245 (talk) 20:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Repeatedly violating policy so you can get a couple extra hits for your crap band no one knows about doesn't "add" anything to Wikipedia. I'm sure you can find something better to do with your time, no?--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 20:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Woah there, let's be civil. I'll be happy to discuss this if you cut out the childish language and insults. -97.81.32.245 (talk) 20:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete and salt, for obvious reasons.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 20:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speey Delete They simply don't meet WP:BAND. They've not released anything; there's no coverage available, so-on-and-so-on. Fervent fans alone doesn't make the band noteworthy. Yngvarr 20:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Since this is getting into the realm of WP:THREATS, which the band obvious is not aware of, I'd like to request speedy and close. Yngvarr 20:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy / Salt / Spank Seems to be a no brainer. We get a couple of these each week, don't we? Not notable, recreating deleted article, no assertion of notability, no CDs, author keeps adding. It doesn't matter how many KEEP DUDE! votes there are, as Wikipedia is not a democracy and the article clearly fails BAND and 17 other tests. Pharmboy (talk) 20:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete and salt - Still meets WP:CSD#A7, as the claims for notability are either no real claims or plain ridiculous (such as this "nomination" for this "award"). ~ twsX · TC · Typo-Warning! ~ 20:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


Don't stuff beans up your nose... Pharmboy (talk) 20:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
The above note is clearly trying to stereotype Mightning Bolt fans as destructive vandals and is non-neutral, and thus should be ignored.
No stereotyping needed, because either the band or the fans are doing a fine jobs theirselves. The history shows the edits which have been made, resorting to calling people furfag and threatening to sue. Yngvarr 20:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
