The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the article above. Please do not modify it. |
The article was originally called linnaean lawn when it was proposed for deletion. After being moved to fixity of the species, a more commonly used name, and more was added to the article, it was not reconsidered as a legitimate article by the many who agreed to delete the article. The article now meets all the wikipedia criteria (although, much more can be added). Furthermore, some who agreed to delete the article appeared to be confused as to the difference between "merging" and "deleting". Pbarnes 05:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

This article was speedied per CSD A7. The article contained an assertion of notability, however tenuous (major contributor to All Music Guide), so I feel the article should have been prodded or listed at AFD instead, to give editors a chance to clean up the article and attempt to make a stronger case for inclusion. The subject has had multiple articles published in a major newspaper (Seattle Weekly[1]), and as a significant contributor to All Music Guide (over 2000 reviews) his writing is widely quoted and reproduced with attribution by sites that use AMG metadata. I've written a draft stub that attempts to make a case for notability. --Muchness 04:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Pingus – Undeleted in light of new evidence, AfD optional – 23:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC) |

Notable Linux game. Has been mentioned in many industry publications, online and offline, e.g. linux.about.com, UnixReview.com, CNN.com. It was Game of the Month [2] at the Linux Game Tome, arguably the most notable online Linux game website. If we have any Linux open source games at all, then we should certainly have Pingus -- it is among the most well known ones. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pingus did not show any consensus to delete.--Eloquence* 00:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I propose that the article for Tourette's Guy be reinstituted for the following reasons: 1. He is a famous person. 2. HIs website has sparked an internet phenomena, with many people visiting his the site to watch the videos of him in action, parodying his videos on YTMND, and putting his stuff on YouTube and other video-sharing websites. 3. Similar internet phenomena, such as "O Rly?" and "Leroy Jenkins" have their own Wiki pages. 4. He has appeared on an MTV commercial. Moreover, any offense taken by those who think he is "faking" his illness and alcoholism ought to be disregarded, specifically on account that many offensive articles are to be found on Wikipedia. Certainly, if David Duke and Louis Farrakhan, not to mention a Cleaveland Steamer, have wikipedia pages and are not banned for the offensive content, Tourette's Guy can have his own? 69.22.252.216 06:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Anonymous
It is most certainly verifiable. The man's website routinely adds new videos of him doing stupid things and his works are widely dispersed over the internet. His existence as a subject of a series of videos about his antics is grounded in fact and this so much can be seen by simply looking at said videos. Moreover, a search on Yahoo for "Tourette's Guy" brought up over 9000 results. This is a level of notority worthy of mentioning on an Encylopedia, specifically when we have articles on Japanese anime characters, professional wrestlers, and webcomics - all equally as trivial as the Tourette's guy. There is simply no sensible reason why Tourette's guy should not be included in a small entry on Wikipedia.69.22.252.216 12:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)(Anonymous).
