  • Delete per nom. Siva1979Talk to me 11:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with above. Also, if the links are to be believed, the article name isn't even spelled properly. Ehheh 14:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete invented in 1965? Still time to catch on I guess. MLA 14:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. ¡Dustimagic! (T/C) 19:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above, possible speedy as {{db-nocontext}}. Geocities pages are not reliable sources. Stifle 00:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nn.Blnguyen 03:47, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep [1] 151.201.48.208 23:38, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep [2] Young Zaphod 23:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: it's worth noting that Young Zaphod/151.201.48.208 appear to be the same person, and so far what he's fleshing it out with appears to be copyvio material (which I realize is pretty unavoidable with such a NN topic). Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 23:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: Atari2600tim is not correct. I'm in a resource cluster, it could be any of 500 machines. Young Zaphod 00:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Well I guess you better get cracking and start using more of those machines as your article appear to be heading towards the garbage bin. (Not voting as I am in dispute with the same muppets on another article). Funny how single-minded those posting from college computer labs seem to be. ;-) Jlambert 14:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • On the talk page, the author of the page seems to be saying that he re-created it after it earlier got speedied, and that this is a second proposal to delete (and also accuses me of being a sock puppet of Savidan). Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 00:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it's a neat article 67.165.85.111 17:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I concur. This is a fine example of Wiki. 66.101.59.248 17:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete pn. ComputerJoe 17:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Notes
    • 151.201.48.208 is pool-151-201-48-208.pitt.east.verizon.net in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, apparently at a local university computer lab
    • 67.165.85.111 is c-67-165-85-111.hsd1.pa.comcast.net in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, likely to be his home connection
    • 66.101.59.248 is 66-101-59-248-static.dsl.oplink.net in Houston Texas (The Optimal Link[3]), and is the server that hosts his web site[4] (and needless to say, can be used as proxy).
    • Oddly enough, Young Zaphod posted within 3 minutes of the university IP, and the cable IP posted within 3 minutes of the proxy IP; currently all 4 keep votes seem to be from one person.

  • Delete per nom. Doing a Google search on "Verbungula" returns two hits. Doing a Google search on "Vabungula" returns 232 hits, 139 of which are from the language inventor's three websites. No evidence of notability. Steve Casburn 04:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: User created Vabungula, changed this article to redirect to there, and removed the article for deletion notice to replace it with the redirect. --Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 23:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as original research bordering on patent nonsense. Sanction author if shenanigans continue. Ifnord 03:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NiMUD --Karnesky 18:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
