[edit] Rinkipedia

This website is brand new and not really significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. -Branddobbe 21:10, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Moreover, it was intended to be a private home page for a particular group of people and therefore not of general interest. 24.62.250.124 21:11, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete for both of the reasons mentioned above. (I was the one who put the Rinkipedia online in the first place.) --Ciaran H 21:14, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • I am the author of this article. I did not know it was for private use only. Delete. — JIP | Talk 04:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, perrsonal use site. Can it be speedied, because author agrees? Mgm|(talk) 08:41, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
    • Seeing as both the author of the website itself (User:Ciaran H) and the author of the article about it (me) want it to be deleted, I figure it should be speedy deleted. — JIP | Talk 09:40, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I took a look at the criteria for speedy deletion, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to allow for it. One of the criteria is "Any page which is requested for deletion by the original author, provided the author reasonably explains that it was created by mistake, and the page was edited only by its author." Unfortunately, the page has been edited by others since it was created, so it doesn't fall under that category. I don't know how strict these rules are, though. --Ciaran H 09:46, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
