[edit] Pony Island

Pony Island (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Found while patrolling candidates for speedy deletion. The given reason was: {{db-repost}}. This is not a valid speedy reason as there does not seem to be an AFD or other discussion on this.. As this is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. —— Eagle101Need help? 08:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

note to closing admin - the tags for this were removed by ip editor for period of 4 days - might want to leave it open longer than the five day period for more editors to make views known --Fredrick day 09:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually that's not true - read the tag - "Previously PROD-deleted articles are not eligible under this criterion, and Speedily deleted articles are not automatically eligible for this criterion. Check the deletion log for prior deletion rationales." - so no discussion needs to have taken place depending on the context of the previous speedy. Anyway a discussion DID take place with the author, who originally contested the speedy and then when WP:RS was explained to them , they gave up and said they would try and recreate the article at a future time when they could provide sources. So I'll say SPEEDY DELETE. --Fredrick day 09:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete. There is no evidence that this web site fits the WP:WEB criteria. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Noticed this on FisherQueen's page. I have no opinion one way or the other, but is Wikipedia a good place to put information about a children's site that children will likely read? I find some of Wikipedia's content unsalient for minors. Please note I'm not doing the whole "let's censor it!" thing but I do wonder about this type of content. Are children being inadvertently drawn here? Perhaps this is an inappropriate place for an academic discussion like this?--Manboobies 11:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean? Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia - we don't remove articles because children might read them. If parents think wikipedia is unsuitable for children, that's their business not ours - it has no bearing on the merits of an article or even deciding if any article should exist.--Fredrick day 12:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No one has provided any proof that this is notable. — Taggard (Complain) 12:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete! Does not meet notibility criteria, no references, the content looks to be just a hotbed of debate for people that support the site vs. ones that have issues with it. (And I am a loyal member of the site in question!) Victoriam 00:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
