[edit] Verbeeg

Verbeeg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I placed a prod tag on this article, and left what I thought was a gentle, educational message that it was a "Directory-like listing of non-notable fictional monster. Sources on page are drawn from within the D&D books, are as such are primary. Primary sources are good for meeting WP:V, but not for WP:N. This article would need more than one third-party source to meet notability requirements." An editor removed my tag with the following edit summary, "rmv template--i object to deletionism in general." So I must bring this article here for a debate.

  • Good for you. It's good to see that there are people out there who must fulfill their holy mission. Merge to User:AnteaterZot, so he can improve this terrible article taking up so much bandwidth.--Robbstrd (talk) 22:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Articles like this one make Wikipedia look bad, and comments like that one make you look bad. AnteaterZot (talk) 03:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Yup, deleting all these crufty fiction articles is sure making all the non-fiction articles look superb. George Washington is looking so much better already.--4.130.134.233 (talk) 04:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
      • AnteaterZot has only been editing since August 16, 2007. It seems most of these deletionists are n00bs who don't know the true spirit of Wikipedia and are too lazy or unsophisticated to write or improve articles, so they take joy in deleting and destroying them instead.--4.130.134.233 (talk) 04:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Removing templates in this manner is not editing in good faithSpinningspark (talk) 16:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Adding templates in this manner is not editing in good faith. Also, I object to irrational deletionism in general.--4.130.134.233 (talk) 04:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge - to Creature_type#Giant Web Warlock (talk) 19:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Merge complete. I also dislike deletionism and blind adding of templates as well, but this one can be merged. Web Warlock (talk) 19:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I assume the article can be removed now that the merge is done? Merge. ··gracefool☺ 23:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it can be removed. Sorry. Busy day. Web Warlock (talk) 01:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I'd simply redirect it in that case, but I don't want to do something that an admin might object to. BOZ (talk) 06:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
