[edit] Tess khoo

notability not demonstrated

admins: please note that vandals have been attacking this ballot. Their vandalism has been struck out
  • Delete - No notability, POV, and generally pointless. Revise it to fix these (amazingly huge) problems (and change to Teresa Khoo) or kill it. AyAn4m1 14:53 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - no "Tess Khoo" in Google Samw 03:04, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • "After once waking up to discover a walrus in her bed, she now says that she has a deep hatred for all things to do with water"?! Delete. This looks like nonsense, a joke, or something in between. --Whimemsz 03:13, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonsense. Megan1967 04:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Flibbertygibbet. -- BDAbramson thimk 05:17, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
  • Delete. Let's hope this is not an article about a real person. Sjakkalle 07:21, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Gawd, what a lot of stupid flushatory flushings. Delete. Anthony Appleyard 12:00, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It sounds like a practical joke.Jamyskis 14:09, 11 May 2005 (GMT)
  • Delete some cambridge uni prank - nonsense and possibly a personal attack --Doc Glasgow 15:58, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Patent nonesense --metta, The Sunborn 17:08, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep After all, Teresa Khoo as she is also known - does actually exist. I find it harsh to delete her on the basis of implausibility. Clean it up if you don't like it!
    • Note: Both the previous keep votes were made by anon users, 131.111.202.111 (talk · contribs) and 131.111.203.140 (talk · contribs). The IP numbers make it apparent that these users are from Cambridge. --Whimemsz 21:48, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • Note:and your point is? --Chani 01:04 May 12, 2005 (GMT)
  • KeepThis describes the Tess Khoo I know! You people who are complaining need to get out more...
  • KeepAfter some changes which I have made, this page is now an actual representation of the Tess that we all know and love, and google searching for Teresa Khoo proves her right to an entry.
    • Note: Exactly. When I enter my name into Google I get 190 entries - that doesn't make me worthy of an entry. Jamyskis 12:32, May 11, 2005
        • Everyone has a uniqueness that makes them notable. I reject the vain argument that not everyone is special enough to have an entry. --Chani 01:04 May 12, 2005 (GMT)
    • It's still clearly a candidate for deletion: Wikipedia doesn't have articles on ever one of the six billion plus people in the world; only people deemed notable. The fact that she's a real person (assuming she is) is irrelevant. Furthermore, the Google results all seem to deal with the fact that Teresa Khoo plays chess. That's not notability. --Whimemsz 23:52, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • KeepIts tess khoo...she's an actual person! With info on her here!
  • Delete This page sounds like a vanity page, indicative by the last line: Definately one to look out for. --129.180.1.124 00:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I support all pages dedicated to all individuals - no matter their 'google' results. This is an example of one.Chani <---sockpuppet?
  • Delete, unfortunately most individuals are not verifiable. Kappa 01:37, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable, vanity. Quale 06:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and Kill the socks. Radiant_* 08:38, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Excellent Article wanker 14:08, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Excellent Article Indeed, fantastic stuff Peter File 14:11, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Why do all you wankers above even care. Just fuck off and leave this article be Heywood Jablomie 14:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - "When I enter my name into Google I get 190 entries - that doesn't make me worthy of an entry" It does however make you a wanker with a microscopic penis though wanker 14:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - we has gotta like keep it innit. is like fuckin' well great innit. ya muvva fuckin' cahv innit 14:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Help I'm being abducted! large remis 14:15, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Don't delete it, it is the best article I've read in years. Absolutely spiffing stuff Benedict XVI 14:16, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is no joke I tell you. All you paedophiles who insist on deleting this should find something better to do, as long as it doesn't involve children. uhhhh? 14:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - and is there some place to complain about offensive usernames and suspected sockpuppets? PatGallacher 14:39, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sockpuppetry and non-notability in extreme. --Neigel von Teighen 14:43, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - I like how Neigel is complaining that this article is not notable, yet two of his entries to Wikipedia were for a Mike Oldfield song and a David Bowie song. If they're notable entries for an encyclopedia, then this is a crap encyclopedia. But then Tess should just release a song and then suddenly that'll be worthy of inclusion. She was also a CHESS CHILD PRODIGY, as shown by a quick google search - isn't that enough?
  • Delete - The people (person with sockpuppets) would be better served by cleaning up the article, including references and listing her accomplishments rather than arguing that "why do all you wankers even care" and "everyone has a uniqueness that makes them special". Prove on the page that she is meaningful and then tell us or abandon your indefensible position.Scimitar 14:48, 2005 May 12
  • Delete, vanity. Nor does the support of Sockpuppet City help the cause. -R. fiend 22:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
    • who is this disgraceful r.fiend person. isn't he the chappy who was caught masturbating in public recently? Yes I think it was. Go hang your head in shame you disgraceful person. Even better, go hang yourself you pervert. Just fuck off.
  • This is getting really ridiculous. --Whimemsz 23:29, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Complete garbage. The sock puppetts only re-enforce my STRONG DELETE vote. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 04:35, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • maybe they do sir. but the point is, i know what you do with small children yes i do, i think it is disgusting and i am going to call the police (This "witty" entry originated at IP 131.111.8.96) Oooh!! You know my IP!! Good for you
  • Delete It appears that the majority of "votes" for "keep" include personal attacks, language that may be offensive to some and/or disagreement with what constitutes "notability".--WCFrancis 17:20, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Note: the version I saw and judged on was last edited 23:15, 11 May 2005. The only problem with the article in that version is the lack of notability. Earlier versions were obvious fictional concoctions. "...pre-natally involved in the assasination of John F. Kennedy" indeed. --WCFrancis 18:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Another note: it is informative to observe the history of this page (i.e. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Tess khoo) one version at a time. --WCFrancis 19:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm not sure which aspect of the internet makes it such a fantastic intellectual forum - the friendliness or the good humour. --DHP 00:35, 14 May '05 (BST)
  • Delete A vanity page for someone who has little to be vain about! Rogertudor 23:38, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • (And people think Cambridge is snobby.) DHP Are you from Oxford or something? Or worse, are you from St John's?
  • Delete. And yes, the fact that the "keep" votes are from sockpuppets make this even more of a candidate for deletion. -- The Anome 20:29, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. - Nunh-huh 20:35, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Comments only - I donot believe it is nonsense - I give two dictionary meaning of the words: 1) words that make no sense, 2) another meaning being: foolish or unacceptable behavior. The article is not a nonsense, it may not be notable. Users, particularly those who may be using this word habitually in real life should be careful while dealing digitally, and before using adjectives like nonsense which tantamounts to personal attack, not conforming to guideleines of wikipedia, one should read, and also understand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Patent_nonsense. --MissingLinks 04:14, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I will require proof of the statement "After a failed relationship with a whale, she blubbered.", before I consider changing my vote. Death to sockpuppets. Tomer TALK 18:24, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Are there any keep votes from non-sock puppets? - Tεxτurε 20:34, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
    • -- Yes there are actually, and I don't like to be called a sockpuppet for stating my views or having my arguments be "struck out" for no real reason.
      • Are all of these "keep" votes that were struck out yours? - Tεxτurε 21:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep- I don't know about the whale contribution, but I think otherwise we should give this article a chance --Dmj27 00:10, 17 May 2005
    • User's 5th edit. RickK 23:41, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
