[edit] Scripture2-channel

An Undernet channel of no particular influence, importance, or notability. Individual IRC channels are not encyclopedic topics. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• #Scripture2 Undernet Channel, and its remarkable wikipedia links, are a critical tool in this "Information Age's" Christian evangelical history. Few religious environments truly accept those of any religious faith, to include accepting people with no religious faith whatsoever. The history of much of this world is predicated on a belief system where God is the Creator. I recommend that this Wikipedia article stay, as Christianity, God the Creator, in an integral part of the world's history, and Internet Chat is one of the most revolutionary, worldwide phenomenon's in this present "Information Age." #Scripture2 is the marriage of both.

• The Wikipedia rule that may apply is: "Such a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article". Wikipedia does not recommend deletion in this case, but indicates: "Merge the useful content into a more comprehensive article and redirect" Endomion 02:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

There's no article that would benefit from the addition of the information contained in this article. There's no article that would even benefit from a redirect from this title. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:40, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

On the contrary, the link list alone is worth the price of admission, in my opinion. Endomion 02:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

The list of links seems to be bordering on linkspam, as far as I'm concerned, and has little bearing on the topic of the article (which still has no content worth merging into another article). - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The tone of discussions above have convinced me that this is likely intended as an advertisement for the subject; but, in any case, Undernet channels strike me as falling in the same category as forums, which are generally not considered encyclopedic without strong notability. --Aquillion 04:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• It breaks my heart that the serious and repetative vandalism perpetrated by (71.80.132.153), seems to have hurled this "Scripture2" Wikipedia article in question, into a status of 'worthy of deletion.' Afterall, it was nothing akin to other vulgar or joke Wikipedia articles I saw listed on your 'to be deleted list.' I plead with you to please, reconsider keeping this Scripture2 Wikipedia article alive, if not for all time, perhaps for a month or so, interim period of time, so that we may move the webpage elsewhere, should you ultimately decide to pull it down altogether. Thanks for your consideration, and I appreciate your hard work here at the Wikipedia website. Unsigned comment by 70.161.170.109 (talk · contribs)

• Delete There are zillions of IRC channels, why is this one notable? --StoatBringer 10:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • By analogy, there are zillions of planets, but this one is notable because it has Wikipedians. Same goes for #scripture and #scripture2. Perhaps they are also notable for being the first IRC channels to be wiki-fied. Endomion 23:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

StoatBringer @ Wikipedia

Excellent Point! I can see the problem now, and appreciate your specific feedback. I guess I got so wrapped up in the hard work and pride I have about #Scripture2 that I wasnt seeing the big picture.

BTW. I really appreciate the hard work you all have put into Wikipedia, and even your attention to this process for this #Scripture2 channel. More and more we chatters are drawn to Wikipedia to authenicate opinions, and even learn more about certain subjects. Wikipedia is a novel idea, opening it up to the input of the masses, and overseeing the integrity as you all do. Keep up the good work, and I apologize for being so "thick headed" about my beloved Christian Undernet channel. Take good care. God bless.

• Delete This Undernet channel is a minor spin-off channel started by a group of disgruntled guests of #Scripture, another much bigger Undernet channel. They couldn't even come up with an original name for their channel & they are constantly spamming ads for it on #Scripture and elsewhere (including this encyclopedia). It would be ludicrous to include this IRC channel, which has only a handful of regular attendees, on any online encyclopedia.

• Delete Even though I am an occasional visitor to #Scripture2, I fail to see the significance of including it in the Wikipedia. Sorry Heather, that's just the way I view this. Weaponofmassinstruction 03:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
