  • Delete the lot, I don't like sockpuppet votes. Stifle 01:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • In all fairness, it's really not a sockpuppet - it's Christian7 voting a half dozen times, and being straight up and honest about that. (He even signed his name). Sockpuppetry is when one person uses multipe personas online. Either way, I clearly agree with your vote. --Bachrach44 18:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppets

  • Do not delete. The Shipwrek is a historical landmark and important house of notable renown. If this article is deleted, then all articles about famous houses (i.e. the White House) should also be deleted. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 12.208.12.248 (talk • contribs)
  • Remain as is. This article is not a self-promotion or nonsense article, but an informative description of one of the most famous (or infamous) houses on the campus. It is not a "meeting place of some of the students," but rather it is a house where actual students reside and is steeped in tradition. It is just as important to the university's culture and identity as other houses and buildings such as Assembly Hall, Memorial Stadium, and the Union. Christian7 18:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. See above. Also, do not delete offshoots, as they are vital to explaining the essence of what the Shipwrek is. Christian7 19:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. No one here attends the University of Illinois, much less even lives in the United States. Thus, none of you can comprehend the value and importance of the Shipwrek to the culture and identity of the university. Christian7 19:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. The Shipwrek is a prestigious house that has earned a solid reputation on the campus and deserves to be formally recognized as a historically and culturally significant establishment. It is a link to the past that must be preserved and shared with others.Christian7 19:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
The Google search Shipwrek "university of illinois" contains 3 hits, none of which is apparently about this location. The website theshipwrek.com is practically empty and says "The website will be updated soon. We've been really busy drinking." Shawnc 19:33, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. I will just keep putting it back up.12.208.12.248 07:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • If your arguments didn't convince us, did you honestly think a threat would? --Bachrach44 18:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
