UNaXcess

Vanity page for a private website. Probably should be speedily deleted, but then again, we'd miss all the fun of the debate. - Lucky 6.9 22:58, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

  • Why has this been voted for deletion? I've not heard any justification and I only wrote the article five minutes ago! Pwaring 23:05, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Err, it's not a vanity page, it's information about a BBS dating back to the 80s. Pwaring 23:05, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Perhaps not, but an article about a bulletin board that only a few people at a college use is not, IMO, reason for inclusion. If the consensus is to keep, it wouldn't bother me. I'm of the opinion it doesn't belong, which is why I nominated it. - Lucky 6.9 23:36, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
  • It's not something that a "few people at college" use though. Yes, it's predominantly used by current/ex CS students but that doesn't make it a minor bulletin board. Pwaring 23:40, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't want to "bite the newbie," as it were. In fact, I snuck a peek at your contributions and the article you wrote for Bulletin board system looks to be absolutely magnificent at a glance. However, I still don't believe that the UNaXcess bulletin board is noteworthy enough to be included. Since this is a very democratic process, other users can decide whether or not it stays. If it's as notable as you say, heck, it should stay and I'll withdraw my vote to delete in an instant. - Lucky 6.9 02:21, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Someone might encounter this term and want to know what it is -- e.g., is it a BBS or antivirus software. If the context makes clear it's a BBS, knowing the center of gravity of its participant base (Manchester U. CS people instead of a more general cross-section of the public) might be useful information. JamesMLane 06:15, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Just to make things clear, I didn't write all of the main bulletin board system article, I just added to it, before anyone comes in and accuses me of taking credit for their work. :) Pwaring 10:36, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I see no reason to delete this at all. - David Gerard 14:20, May 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep unless the information is incorrect. Abigail 21:56, May 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Withdraw vote to delete. This is much larger and more relevant than I'd assumed. - Lucky 6.9 22:53, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
