The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete, particularly given that the same person argued to keep twice. Discrediting Wikipedia for the loss of one article isn't a reason to keep one. --Coredesat 20:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Salad shots

Salad shots (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Completely unsourced, very dubious, could well be a prank older ≠ wiser 18:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Find sources: Salad shots — news, books, scholar

• Keep Due to salad shots just recently being created there is no possible way to cite sources other than by way of pictures or by video. When I looked in WP:Aunder the Citing Yourself section it states "You may cite your own publications just as you would cite anyone else's". Our own publications happens to be our website which is located at myspace.com (which you can click on in the main salad shots page). This website gives a full description of what Salad Shots are, the history of them, and future plans for it. What more of a reliable source is there than that? We are not trying to patronize wikipedia or make it look bad, I'm just trying to establish an article that talks about a real thing in the real world. If you delete this article it wont effect the world but it shows that wikipedia in all honesty is a dictatorship that is not open to any new ideas.

This argument is usually considered invalid -refer to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Addhoc 08:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for adding your two cents, why don't you add your two cents to everything on this page instead of everything against.

• Keep Everytime we try to post proof of salad shots, Bkonrad removes it.Patches McEvans 00:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Your reasoning would appear to misunderstand WP:A- citations to reliable sources are required. Addhoc 08:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Salad shots are real and to address Smmurphy everyone has a different definition of what is offensive so I don't see that as being grounds for deletion.Patches McEvans 18:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Again, you don't appear to fully understand WP:A - citations to reliable sources are required. A subject not having any reliable sources is a valid deletion reason. Also, you have 'voted' twice. Addhoc 08:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep this is a real thing and we have photographic/video evidence which will be uploaded in the coming week —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.165.152.4 (talk) 04:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Citations are required to reliable sources - photographs are not a substitute. Addhoc 08:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Citations, citations, citations, there's no book, even if they made a website and listed everything and made a book and referenced it i'm sure someone would still find it as garbage and nonsense. I'm going to find every article on wikipedia that does not cite it's references and consider it for deletion.

• Delete per above nom and searches. Addhoc 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete total nonsense. IrishGuy ^talk 23:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense and as needlessly offensive (see Lewensky bomb and Nigga Bomb). Smmurphy^(Talk) 04:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense at its worst, but still a decent article. I wish these people would use their talent for proper articles aswell. Poeloq 08:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I attend penn state and i have witnessed people consuming salad shots and i myself have also been a part of these activites. Salad shots are extremely popular due to their flavor, viscosity and soothing qualities. I am ashamed anyone would wish to delete such an influential part of college life.

First hand eye witness testimony from editors is not a substitute for citations to reliable sources. Addhoc 08:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure out of the 6 billion people in the world that a majority knows about salad shots, it's a brand new thing and I'm sure there's not many people outside of the editors that when they think of salad shots, they go, oh hey, let's go on wikipedia.

• Delete I get a grand total of 116 Google hits for "salad shots" - and some of those are photographers talking about taking pictures of their romaine. If salad shots are a big thing, it is funny that no one is even talking about them in their blogs, let alone in reliable sources. Out!! Brianyoumans 19:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
