[edit] Speed Demon Community

I'm moving this to the vfd page, no vote. Flowerparty ^talk 18:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Hi. A blatant case of advertisement here. If the community itself merits an article, this should probably be spared (aside from a rewrite and wikification.) If not, boom. I predict the latter - esp. given that the author's other edits consist of linking to this page. -- Kizor 11:51, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• The Speed Demon Community frowns upon da Kizor for this uncalled for statement. -- k-nar 17:48, 22 Sep 2004 (Comment by 82.229.193.143 (talk · contribs))

• Strong Delete -- This is an entirely useless Vanity Article. This is not a community of any cultural significance and the article is poorly written. Articles like this turn wikipedia into a self-promotional tool. --Isotope23 18:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Also should mention this article has been deleted on 2 previous occasions.--Isotope23 19:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Delete, This sounds like a stunt by Ali G. Maybe they need more of a "moisture rating"... Karmafist 20:44, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• The links to the page have been removed. it is not advertising; it is enlightening ^^ (Unsigned comment by Coonieface (talk · contribs))
• Delete - speedy if possible. Non-notable forumcruft of the worst kind. FCYTravis 21:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• non-notable to you, but it is highly notable to the piano community and both an interesting read and topic. (Unsigned comment by Coonieface (talk · contribs))

Can you explain why it's notable to the piano community, Mr. Invisible Man? Karmafist 22:04, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• because it's different. worth noting. also it is well-known. no reason why it shouldnt be in here; it's not hurting anyone. if you dont like it you dont have to read it, but many people in the community would like to. (Unsigned comment by Coonieface (talk · contribs))
• Delete nn vanity. --Etacar11 04:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• I have just read through the vanity article guidelines and this doesnt even come close to being a vanity article. Some of the things it would have to be:

completely uninteresting (which it isnt) using many outlinks (it has no links outside of Wiki at ALL)

your main claim that this is a vanity article is that the subject is quite obscure. If you look in the guidelines for determining whether or not an article is a vanity article, you will see that they SPECIFICALLY state that the obscurity of an article does NOT make it a vanity article.

So if you people want it deleted soo badly i advise you find another reason. (Unsigned comment by 69.17.120.143 (talk · contribs))

• DO NOT DELETE - As someone who frequents many classical music forums, I feel that I am in a position to note that the originality of the SDC as a concept and its influence on music culture on the internet is such that it is worthy of a Wikipedia article. It is also unfair to consider this article for deletion when there are dozens of other "Internet_phenomenon" articles (i.e., Star_wars_kid).
