Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 December 16

The article was deleted, but before I saw the AfD. Orneryboy, a webcomic, received the 2005 Web Cartoonists' Choice Award for Outstanding Site Design after being a finalist the previous year, had anindependant review by Comixpedia, as well as multiple mentions on said site. Though I know it can be futile to lean on Alexa rankings, it ranks above the 100K mark, and was an original member of Dayfree Press. Overturn and Undelete, please. Should this occur, I will add all of the relevant information. Fethers 17:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion with no prejucdice against recreation, didn't assert notability. Just recreate it with your sources. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 18:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Article has been recreated with references. Withdraw nomination. Fethers 17:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Angry Nintendo Nerd (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)(deleted history)— (AfD), DRV July, DRV October

By every conceivable measure discussed in the previous debate regarding this article all standards have been surpassed.

Google test then for "Angry Nintendo Nerd": 22,300

Now: 62,400 [1]

Alexa rating for screwattack then: 1,156,995

Now: 101,477 [2]

His personal homepage then on Alexa: 3,905,515

Now: 595,769[3]

His personal homepage is nearly the same amount as Bruce Cambell's which I used as an example before[4]

Something Awful has made fun of him in numerous episodes [5][6] [7] [8]

Go to the previous deletion discussion for a more comprehensive discussion explaining why this shouldn't have been deleted. Richard Cane 12:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion, again. "By every conceivable measure" - no, the only conceivable measure, which has been repeatedly explained, is multiple independent reliable sources, none of which you have presented. No-one cares about the Google test and the Furious Famicom Faggot isn't even explictly a parody of this website, not that it would establish notability if it was. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 14:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion. Notability does not imply verifiablility, and you must have verifiability. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 15:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion - No new information. Notability/verifiability is not message with Ghits and Alexa. Wickethewok 19:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, same as in July and October. Guy (Help!) 22:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion. While I am a fan of the Angry Nintendo Nerd, there's nothing new offered here that presents verifiability or notability. Something Awful making fun of someone is also not an indicator of notability. DRV is not AFD part 2. --Coredesat 23:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Template:Bruchim (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)(deleted history) — (TfD)

Um... what? Why was this speedy deleted? It was obviously contentious, and it's not like people were ignoring any policy. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 00:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is the template:

Hey! where you running off to!??! join our wikiproject.... hey!! come back!! join!!

• Comment. What the heck? I didn't think it was THAT bad. I won't just close this now, in case someone else has something to contribute, but wow... I've set up some wikistuff to automatically strike out my nomination if nobody asks for relisting within about a day, so consider my nomination withdrawn then. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 03:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• This is actually the last version (entered by the author of the template), but its crude sarcasm betrays the problems with his cleaner version. It would have been better to guage the community's consensus on Wikipedia talk:Welcome templates first, considering its superjewish nature. I note that {{OrthodoxWelcome}} is transcluded on the talk pages of 0 users. El_C 04:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• So, if Eastern Orthodox Christians number 240 million adherents in the world but their welcome template was used only 0 times, imagine how much less than 0 usage the respective welcome template for Judaism, with its 14 million adherents, would get. Imagine! El_C 04:22, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Um... You are aware that welcome templates are supposed to be substed, right? And that bots do it if you don't? -Amarkov ^blah_edits 04:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• No, I thought WP:SUBST was a cake recepy. Still, it is a statistical indicator, sorta! El_C 05:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Endorse Deletion Even if it didn't have a stupid message, these religious welcome messages aren't in the spirit of Wikipedia Bwithh 16:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment That message is there because user (and template creator) User:FrummerThanThou decided to vandalize the template when the deletion discussion didn't go his/her way. Originally it was basically the standard welcome message in that template with links to the WikiProject. Koweja 16:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse del - While I don't know if a speedy was necessary, religious/political/etc welcome templates don't seem to be in the spirit of Wikipedia. Wickethewok 19:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion - pointless. Does not seem necessary or helpful and as such should go and stay gone. Moreschi 20:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

BudWheizzah (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)(deleted history)

The article I was writing should not have been converted to a user page. I have used the nickname BudWheizzah for seven years and have run a popular internet radio station in which the name is used. I believe it is only fair that I get my own article on Wikipedia. I do not know who converted my article.

• Endorse deletion. I userfied this and marked the mainspace article for deletion under CSD R2 (redirects to user space) because of conflict-of-interest concerns. Mytildebang 06:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion per Mytildebang. Danny Lilithborne 13:03, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse most deletions contested with "I deserve an article", or something of the sort. Nobody deserves an article without verifiability. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 15:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion I'm with Amarkov- there's nobody who can claim "I dserve an article," and if somebody has to write an article about themselves, they probably don't deserve one (and this is no exception). -- Kicking222 17:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endose deletion. The "popular internet radio station" in question (http://www.bdoradio.com/) has an alexa of just over 2.5 million. Google gets about 2200 hits for it, but about 2000 seem to be from one site (topaztic.com). Once that one and the site itself are eliminated, it gets 184 Ghits, 53 unique. Nowhere close to a notable site. Fan-1967 04:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

LUElinks (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)(deleted history)— (AfD)

Come on guys.Why is there no LUElinks article?I mean sure you mention it in the Gamefaqs article,but don't you think it deserves its own article.

Also,I heard it was deleted the first time only because of a hoax so why does it continue to get deleted?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Onewordpostguy (talk • contribs)

• Comment: The "deleted because of a hoax" statement comes from my communication with the user, where I pointed to the previous deletion. Daveydweeb (^chat/_review!) 09:17, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse it was deleted for being unverifiable (this is what happens when you close the entire site off to non-members) and non-notable. Being a spinoff a notable site doesn't make it notable. Because it is the largest of a mess of non-notable sites it is worth mentioning as an example in the GameFAQs article. That's it. Koweja 16:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse valid deletion, more crap off teh internets. Guy (Help!) 23:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse as patently unverifiable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
