[edit] The Diarrhea Song

It's stable. It's comprehensive: extremely thorough (lots of lyrics). It's well-written, Factually accurate, and Neutral. It has a concise lead section that summarizes the entire topic. It has a proper system of hierarchical headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents. It is of appropriate length, staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail. The only downside is no pictures. What I think is good about it is that it found all the long lost lyrics I never knew the full verses to from my childhood. Anomo 18:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose. I'm going assume this is serious - no sources, little to no information, and there's a fairly good chance that the whole thing is one huge copyvio if we could ever trace the origins of the song back. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. Very little to the article other than song lyrics, and those are likely a copyvio. ergot 19:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure how folk lyrics can by copyrighted. Some kids made lyrics up and passed them around for a hundred years until somebody wrote them down. Anomo 19:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm not even convinced they're really folk lyrics, to be honest. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delist Raul, can you kill this garbage? Anomo, you seem to be a rather established editor, but I'd ask to remind you to not disrupt WP for whatever reason you're choosing to do so. -- Kicking222 20:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I have delisted the nomination per WP:SNOW. Please note that it's not necessary to call for Raul in a case like this— any experienced good-faith contributor can remove this type of nomination. Please compare my recent comment here. Bishonen | talk 21:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC).
  • Comment for reference I am a n00b at the featured articles. Anomo 02:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Sure. That was WP:SNOW I invoked (please take a look at it), it was by no means WP:TROLL. Bishonen | talk 02:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC).
