[edit] Ncc anime club

Non-notable and unencyclopedic college club. FCYTravis 02:17, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment Oh please. I can't talk about a club, yet there are countless worthless articles on things like video games and TV shows? I don't understand this. How is this unencyclopedic? Explain this to me, please. Can't this just be linked to the entry on anime or something instead of being outright deleted? Starwind Amada 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - Video games and TV shows are viewed by millions of people. The club in question, maybe dozens. Don't take it personally. College clubs, by and large, are not encyclopedic unless they've done something notable. What has this club done that is notable? FCYTravis 02:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. My own college anime club isn't notable either. Nifboy 02:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - We were in the paper. I think that's notable. Starwind Amada 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• I was in the paper. That doesn't make me notable enough to warrant a page on wikipedia. From the info on the page this club is in absolutely no way remarkable. Delete. --Miborovsky 03:33, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As FCYTravis said, it's nothing personal. It ain't a bad article, either, but there's a difference between "newsworthy" and "encyclopaedic" in many opinions. I've been in the newspaper, like many people, but that does not make me encyclopaedic either. Until "gets in unnecessary flamewars on AfD" becomes a criteria for notability. When that day comes, I am so there. Lord Bob 03:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's nothing personal, mind you, and the article is written better than other articles on Wikipedia. However, there needs to be something notable about the club. Simply being in the newspaper does not make something notable. I'm sure hundreds of people and organizations are featured in their local papers daily, but they just aren't notable enough for their own article here. -Nameneko 06:39, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, just like 99.99% of college clubs. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:09, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. You can talk about whatever you like, on your own website or a forum, or at your meetings. Here, we're trying to make an encyclopedia. Friday (talk) 15:07, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I'd love it if a new general article on anime clubs was created, and some of what's in this article (such as that great picture of people watching Bebop) was moved to that. Wandering oojah 20:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I think that's a great idea. Think I should start something like that (I'll save the NCC page just in case so I don't have to redo it). And we don't need your kind of comments, Friday. Starwind Amada 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not here for people to promote their fanclubs. If you can't grasp this elementary fact, don't edit. --Miborovsky 00:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment Whatever, jackass. And I didn't edit it, I CREATED the page. Of course, though, you're too busy acting like you know everything to notice. You're too lazy to even mark your message as a comment or a delete request. I don't need rude comments like the ones you and Friday have given me. You have nothing to contribute. Starwind Amada 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Whoa, stay cool. First off, I think you're taking comments worse than people are meaning them. Second off, even though Miborovsky was probably being a little rude, that's no excuse for making a personal attack. Third off, it is fairly common for people to make comments and otherwise discuss things on AFD pages without explicitly marking their posts as comments. Wandering oojah 23:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment Okay, sorry. At least you agree he was rude. Starwind Amada 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment Whether he was rude or not, responding by calling him 'jackass' is similarly rude and does you no favours. chowells 01:39, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep This is an encyclopedia; ALL information is appropriate for inclusion. Kurt Weber 20:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment Actually it's not: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information chowells 02:39, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
