Sakari is a community and resource for amateur musicians as well as an educational source for support on music-related and computer-related topics.

Sakari is similar in most ways to OCRemix, which has an article on Wikipedia. The difference is that instead of posting remixes of other musicians’ original work, members on Sakari are posting their own original work.

If there are any conflicts with Wikipedia staff, please contact me directly: illustrationism@gmail.com.

For what it's worth, a "Sakari" article was previously deleted: 05:03, September 24, 2006 Naconkantari (Talk | contribs) deleted "Sakari" (uncontested prod after expiration). -- JHunterJ 19:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Small Bit of Confusion

Yes, and I didn't understand what "uncontested prod after expiration" meant. I figured that there was some kind of verification that I missed.

If someone could explain why OCRemix may have an article and a similar web site cannot, then I would be completely satisfied.

No answer for the second point, but "uncontested prod after expiration" means that a Proposed Deletion (prod) notice was on the article for the requisite period of time (a week, perhaps) without being contested. -- JHunterJ 19:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I understand now. So at this point, I am contesting deletion. What is the next step? -- Illustrationism 15:43, 5 October 2006 (EST)

That was useful...

Sakari's article was deleted, but I'm so glad you all have a page for us to dispute our article when it has been marked for deletion, before the article is deleted. At first I was wary about using it, but now I see that you all really take this seriously, and that we’re all given a fair opportunity to dispute the deletion of the articles that we put so much time into writing. Using this section, we as posters are able to civilly talk about and dispute the usefulness or validity of out articles. If we misunderstand something, and we ask, then it's cleared up for us by detailed messages such as “uncontested prod after expiration”, and actual responses that relate directly to any valid points made in this section.

All right, I’m sorry, but for those of you who didn’t get my point immediately, all the above was sarcasm. I’m still not sure why OCRemix has its own article, and more: its own category, and other sites with similar content and themes may not. Furthermore, this was not a democratic debate like I was hoping it’d be; it was a dictatorship-like disregard of a valid dispute.

I will accept that for whatever reason, Sakari-infinity.net, the history of, and article about are neither of the proper classification nor theme to fit in on Wikipedia.org. If the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t wear it; I don’t have a problem with that. I do, however, still have a qualm about other articles such as OCRemix, VGMix, SquareSound, and VGMusic. If there is a valid reason, other than “they’re popular”, that they are allowed so much freedom on Wikipedia, then I’d like to know about it. Seeing as how Sakari is a Website along the exact same lines as those sites, I would probably not be the only one to benefit from an answer.

I didn’t think that Wikipedia’s content was based on a type of popularity contest, but perhaps I was mistaken...
