[edit] Yatti
Fails WP:NEO; "Yatti marijuana" on google comes up with nothing worth noting Patstuart 21:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- Delete Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of verifiable knowledge, not a how-to guide on getting high, which is how that article reads. Furthermore, the image seems to imply that its submitter is in possession of illegal paraphernalia and drugs- a crime in Canada that could fetch 5 years in prison.Mj the deletionist 23:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
but there are other entries in wikipedia itself that read like how to guides for drugs so you argument for that is irrelevant (such as, the shotti page, the bong page, and even the coke page is way worse) and the fact that you don't even understand the legal charges that invole the possession of illigal paraphernalia or pot, would only get you around a month or less in jail, a fine, or they might just let you off. It seems to me like you are just being difficult in this situation for no reason, but if your webpage is supposed to be this great encyclopedia, well then excluding one page while allowing others in the same category is wrong, maybe the page does not get the hits you think it requires, then tell the page creators how to change that, and if you do not believe that the popularity of yattis is not on the rise you are wrong, I live in Canada as well and I have herd of them, I garuntee in 5 years it will be all over the place and with this page your site will be ahead of everone else, either way you should not be attacking the page the way you are, treat all people the same no matter their background, all are equal, thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.173.164.121 (talk • contribs)
- no, the problem is not how many hits the page gets; the problem is that the term "yatti" appears non-existent on the internet; in other words, the term gets no hits on google at any other site either. Which means it's a neologism, and any other articles in such a category are flagged for deletion as well. I hope this clears things up. -Patstuart 21:42, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
poor editing and inappropriate content on other pages are no excuse! because the comment by 129.173.164.121 did not log in with a user name I am forced to respond here, but I would like to remind that person to more directly address their own reasons for keeping or deleting the article here and direct the extraneous criticism of my viewpoint, in a manner that does not directly pertain to the AfD, to my talk page. I would do the same, but it would not reach someone not signing in without a username. Canadian drug law has a maximum sentence of 5 years for marijuana possesion. It *is* the maximum, and would not be used for a first offense, but it does agree with my statement that it could fetch 5 years in prison. See Controlled_drugs_and_substances_act and drugtext.org. Furthermore, yes I should be attacking this and any other page that doesn't meet the standard of quality I expect from wikipedia. And it is in way about treating people in any manner regarding background. I stand behind my vote. Please sign your comments! neologism and an encyclopedia should report about drug use not instruct on how to!Mj the deletionist 09:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as nn. Arguments that extend from the crappiness of other articles are not valid. Themindset 22:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
