[edit] The GDT

Oh my, the wonders of the internets! We are not voting on a website, or webforum, instead we're voting on a specific forum thread! I've not even bothered to Prod this, as I know someone will inevitably remove it, maybe one of the "near legendary GDT Crew". I wonder who it would have been, maybe "Oreo- A real life black person."? I am quite possibly breaking the first rule of GDT which is to "Respect the GDT", and for that I apologise. - Hahnchen 00:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Strong speedy delete: Patent nonsense (TBC is right, its atleast barely understand) and unremarkable people or groups/Vanity Pages. - Tutmosis 00:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


^Stop being a jerk. This is an important reference for those who are interested.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.109.213.212 (talk • contribs)

    • And exactly how many, out of this world of over 6.5 billion people, will want know or care about the subject? Please remember that Wikipedia is not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site.--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 00:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
      • So are you saying that all 6.5 billion people have to have interest in the subject for it to be worthy of Wikipedia?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.176.145.57 (talk • contribs)
        • Not really, but at least enough that it can be considered notable by Wikipedian standards. After all, Wikipedia can't just have an article on everything, as it isn't like Wikipedia has an infinite amount of servers at its disposal.--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 00:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
          • The website in which the wikipedia entry refers to, according to big-boards.com is the #4 page with an average of 695,780 hits per day. That isnt a large enough interest?
            • No, and I suggest that you see the WP:WEB policy for more information on Wikipedia's notability standards for websites--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 00:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as it provides no evidence of notability whatsoever. However, I wouldn't consider it as patent nonsense, as only articles that are very confusing and nonsensical can qualify as patent nonsense .--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 00:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

    • The above comment was not made by Tutmosis, but by the anon IP that has been repetitively spammed this AfD--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 00:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Haha... thanks TBC, that imitation cracked me up. I'll make sure to preserve that. - Tutmosis 00:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete Useless. Of all the users of that forum, I doubt more than 1 in 30 care. And an even smaller fraction would ever find the wiki page. (An article on General Discucssion threads in general might actually be useful, but I'm to lazy to make one right now.) --Flyne 00:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - Actually you'll see that General discussion thread is protected, as it had been deleted before. It was made by the same user who made this article, I'm guessing it was about the same thing. But I doubt a CSD tag would have stayed on the article long enough. And anyway, I like to stir up the nest every now and then. - Hahnchen 00:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - per WP's dignity. Wickethewok 00:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Dignity? And I thought Wikipedia lost all of its dignity after it kept the GNAA article. :P I'm joking of course... or am I?--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 01:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
That article should be dunked in industrial bleach until dissolved. Bwithh 01:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete this crap. Perhaps an admin should be called over before a deletion tag can be removed. Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
