[edit] Republican Soccer Federation

This was listed on speedy delete a couple of times, removed both times, so someone tried to VfD it but didnt finish, so Im doing it for them. This appears to be some sort of fantasy football material to me, but if anyone can verify that its not, then please do so. Delete is my 2 cents. CunningLinguist 16:39, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) (I started nominating this, but you beat me to it.) This has been nominated for speedy deletion twice:

  1. Red King (Fantasy football is not encyclopaedic)
  2. Johan Elisson (speedydelete)

and removed both times by Fawcett5. It looks like total nonsense to me, the places in the list appear to be fictional, and the article name finds zero hits in google. Some (all?) of the places listed had articles recently created, which were speedy deleted. --ssd 16:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. --ssd 16:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Fairly obvious BS, but did not meet the very circumscribed criteria for speedy deletion. Fawcett5 17:04, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    While I might agree with you, I wish you had nominated this yourself instead of only removing the speedy tag. --ssd 17:06, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not encyclopedic per WP:FICT; I can't even tell what fictional work this is supposed to come from. --Metropolitan90 18:03, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

    May I ask why? -- Elisson | Talk 20:27, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    Might also be mentioned that this user almost exclusively has contributed to the VfD by voting keep on articles VfD'ed today. -- Elisson | Talk 20:30, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I also stand fast at my decicion that this should have remained a speedy. I consider it to fall under patent nonsense, definition 2. Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irremediably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make heads or tails of it. A league with teams I've never heard of, impossible to find info on as it gives 0 hits on Google (and trust me, you can find info on Google for the smallest league worthy mention on Wikipedia), is IMHO considered patent nonsense, even if the article is well-written and may have some basis in reality in some small circle of friends. -- Elisson | Talk 20:27, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    You forgot to mention that the places in the article are also fictional. --ssd 02:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
