AfD one minute after creation
It's actually pretty routine, when someone creates an article like that. Somebody wants a listing for a take-out Chinese place. It's pretty obvious that the article doesn't belong. Actually, this one's so obvious it could have been nominated for speedy deletion, and deleted without discussion. Fan1967 15:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Just to add to what Fan1967 said, the nominator (User:Travelbird) was undoubtedly on recent changes patrol. Travelbird saw the page as soon as it was created, saw that it wasn't appropriate for Wikipedia, and nominated it for deletion immediately. —Caesura(t) 17:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- I do the same thing, watching for inappropriate new articles or vandalism of existing articles. I tagged an article this morning for a gaming forum. I saw the article created, did some quick checks on the website, and tagged it within a few minutes of its creation. Fan1967 18:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the list of localities in Iran! --(Aytakin) | Talk 17:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Copyrights
I'll have to admit this is a deep and mysterious subject, like nuclear physics, that I understand poorly. You'll need to follow up with whoever tagged your submission. I don't understand where the rules apply, either. Fan1967 18:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Listing a lot of AfDs
Good work listing a lot of articles for deletion. Where do you find all these inappropriate articles? I'll tag any you list for speedy deletion if they meet it.--Andeh 08:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I've been meaning to, chip a little off of J.D. Byrider for a bit, and add some.... I took out a lot of the stuff I think sounds ad-like... I'm going to remove the advert tags, and stub it, lemme know (and revert) if you don't agree... --негіднийлють (Reply|Spam Me!*|RfS) 21:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
