[edit] Travis Fahey

Delete...written by anon, almost appears as self-promotion. googled subject, no real results. Srcrowl 04:34, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not notable (no claim to it anyway). Could be an attack page. -- BD2412 talk 04:51, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Delete vanity. JamesBurns 06:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, Travis Fahey gets about 36 Google hits none of which seem to point to him being a professional author or award-winning journalist as claimed. - Mgm|(talk) 08:28, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Mild Shock, I am Travis Fahey. I must say I am a little shocked by the reaction to this listing, thus far. Upon checking my email yesterday, I discovered that a close friend of mine had created a listing in Wikipedia as a joke. I took it as that, a joke, despite the fact that I am, indeed, a two-time award-winning journalist from Burlington, Vermont. When you google my name, you'll mostly find references to my careers since; I have since worked in public realtions at Middlebury College and currently work as a corporate communications specialist. I think you all need to find something else to do with your time than berate what is clearly a humorous, albeit factually accurate, entry and a playful jab between two friends. - [[User:travisfahey|[[User talk:travisfahey|08:28, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, This Travis Fahey is obviously an unsavory character who must be stopped immediately. The repercussions to this fine, upstanding Christian web encyclopedia could be endless if we don't remove references to violent, degenerate gun-toting whiskey drinking liberal writers, like the said Mr. Fahey. Good luck and God Bless you strange little men... - [[User:phineasPEgo|[[User talk:phineasPEgo|09:35, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
    • Note: last two edits are part of some bizarre joke; non-existant users misappropriated Mgm's good name. --BD2412talk 13:50, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Delete --Xcali 14:27, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, and quickly. I need to get back to my hymns, all this talking about scotch makes me feel bad. --Scimitar 14:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not good enough for BJAODN. ral315 18:38, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete vanity/prank. --Etacar11 21:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Just delete the page--the response was simply a protest about how seriously people are taking this. And by the way, it's not "hacking" or "vandalizing" if the page is open for HTML editing by the public! Just read the statement below--If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it. Chill out.

  • No, it is still vandalising; simply not hacking, in the most proper sense. jglc | t | c 18:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia uses Vandalism in a technical sense, not in the ordinary dictionary meaning. RJFJR 22:07, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for sockpuppetry and personal attacks. RickK 05:09, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
