[edit] Wikipedia:Wikistalking

  • Keep —— Uncle Ed linked to this article, but didn't define it. Apparently Jpgordon didn't know this, or he would have realized that the issue had nothing to do with WP:POINT. Yet, if JP didn't know that Uncle Ed first talked about and referenced this article, how did JP learn of the existence of this article? Is Jpgordon a Wikistalker? Is his creation of this deletion request the ultimate irony? Are these really the people that we want running Wikipedia? --Zephram Stark 19:08, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Zephram Stark trolling. --JW1805 20:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
    • It's the funniest of ironies that none of these people (except Jayjg) would know about this article on Wikistalking if they weren't Wikistalking me. Thanks for proving premise of the article guys —— LMAO. --Zephram Stark 20:49, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Not true, actually. Most admins keep watch on the new page creation lists, so that they can catch vandalism. This one would have been spotted as a new creation - and one that looked decidedly dodgy. There is no need to lurk around checking user contribs to catch deleteable pages like this. Grutness...wha? 00:33, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and rewrite I have no idea who Z. Stark is, but this is a common term on WP. Of course, there is some worry about WP:BEANS, but I think the genie is out of the bottle here. Newbies need to know what Wikistalking is, and why it's bad form. Of course, rewrite to remove any POINT violations, of which I thought only the last section smacked.

    • Redirect per Jtkiefer. Xoloz 01:42, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. WP:POINT, like most of Zephram's life these days. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:13, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, redundant and POV, replace with redirect to Wikipedia:Stalking I mean Wikipedia:Harassment, thanks JT. Radiant_>|< 23:54, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually it would have to be replaced with a redirect to Wikipedia:Harassment to prevent a double redirect. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 23:50, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Wikipedia:Harassment. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 23:50, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Jtkiefer. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:27, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Wikipedia:Harassment. It needs a reference to Wikipedia:Wikisuicide. --Zephram Stark 02:39, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • A search within Wikipedia for "wikistalking" returns a mere 143 hits, indicating to me that this is a relatively trivial neologism. Wikistalking (no "Wikipedia:") already redirects to Wikipedia:Harassment and has since that page's first creation. I'd prefer delete as a neologism but I'm comfortable with a redirect.

  • Redirect per Jtkiefer. BD2412 T 14:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep "Wikistalking" has come into use through arbitration cases and need a project page where it is defined and discussed, for at least as long as the term is in use. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred Bauder (talk • contribs) 14:56, November 11, 2005
  • Redirect to WP:HA where it is already discussed -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rangerdude (talk • contribs) 18:46, November 11, 2005
  • Comment I just noticed that there was a previous article called Wikipedia:Stalking that was redirected to Wikipedia:Harassment in August 2005. --JW1805 19:41, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
