[edit] The First Clue

What is this? This doesn't qualify as an article, and is non-encyclopedic. Could be merged with Treasure Hunt. FireSpike 21:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete- Per Nomination. FireSpike 21:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It appears that someone is using WP as part of a game somewhere else, which is not what we're here for. ESkog | ^Talk 22:41, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Apparently there never was an AfD tag on the page, but since it's now up for a speedy deletion as nonsense, that's kind of moot. I'm still pointing it out here, because User:Lady_telle already removed the speedy tag from the article once... actually, now that I look at it, she linked that in from Treasure Hunt, apparently as an example of a first clue. That leads me to think this is actually a good-faith edit, just kind of misguided. It still needs to go, though. -- ���Captain Disdain 23:16, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment unrelated to the actual AfD: FireSpike, when doing your nominations, please follow the instructions at WP:AFD -- there's a very clear set of instructions at the bottom of the page. The way you did this now resulted in there being no AfD tag on the article itself and the AfD itself being listed incorrectly on the list of nominations for today. I fixed it now, though I didn't add the AfD tag on the article itself as it is still up for a speedy deletion. Which is an ugly way of going about this, but eh. In the future, please follow those instructions; that way we'll avoid this kind of confusing stuff. Not the end of the world or anything, but, y'know. Thanks. =) -- Captain Disdain 23:52, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a web host. However, a redirect to Treasure hunt or Treasure hunting can't hurt. (Captain Disdain, hiding the first clue in a legitimate wikipedia page might just be part of the game.) --Jacquelyn Marie 01:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
