April Fools

Oh come on, you can't have just a bit of randomness that actually has to do with the game for just 24 hours? I've seen much worse on here... Necro-File (talk) 03:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yep, and the much-worse stuff gets reverted too. Dethme0w (talk) 03:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Valedictorian

I just wanted to make a redirection that states Valor Victorian is another term for Valedictorian. I spent quite some time searching for Valor Victorian, just to find out it is more commonly known as Valedictorian. I wanted to help anyone else looking for same information, so I created that page. I did not have time to research wikipedia's policies, rules, syntax, etc... so the resulting page is pathetic. You are welcome to convert it to redirect if it does not deserve to be an article of it's own, or bring it up to the wikipedia standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dzenanz (talk • contribs) 13:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I tend to think that "Valor Victorian" is actually a mispronunciation that stuck (as the etymology clearly does not support that spelling), and although someone has already created a redirect to Valedictorian, it could be speedy-deleted for being an unlikely typo.

Speedy deletion of BOC THE BOOK OF CONTRADICTIONS

A tag has been placed on BOC THE BOOK OF CONTRADICTIONS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Redfarmer (talk) 21:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Your script recreated the article right after an admin speedy deleted it for being nonsense. That's why my script sent you the notice. Redfarmer (talk) 21:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank Ghod for Twinkle. Maybe. I'd be inclined to change it into a redirect to Internal consistency of the Bible should it reappear. Dethme0w (talk) 21:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Twinkle's been doing some strange things to me too. When I nominated a page for WP:AfD the other day that had been nominated previously, it completely wiped out the previous nomination discussion. I don't know why it's acting up. Cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 21:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

It's been nearly a month since this occurred, and in fact the redirect page I created to help solve the problem has since been replaced by a disambiguation. The user in question has apparently not brought the issue up since then, and I consider it closed. I am not sure how you think this helps. Dethme0w (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

It's one of those "just in case" things. Some people will forget about something, go about their own biz for a few months, then they see something that brings back those memories and WHAM! Flamewar. I've seen it happen before, so I decided to tie up anything that could possibly re-spark her fury. --Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 17:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Pussy Beer Pussy

Hi there, sorry if I am posting incorrectly on this page, I am new to Wikipedia. I just posted my first article entitled "Pussy Beer Pussy". It was tagged for speedy deletion. I understand and I am sorry for the obsene title, but I would still like to make this article, perhaps clean it up a bit. Would it be okay for me to just change the title to "PBP"? If there is a way I can resume work on this article please let me know because it took me a while and I didn't save it anywhere else, and I can't figure out how to resume editing the page. Please let me know.

It was tagged for deletion, and the admin who actually deleted it agreed, because it was not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Speedy deletion is not the only way we deal with articles that do not meet the standards for inclusion however; normally we tag them with notices indicating what needs to be done to fix them. But in the case of articles that are deleted, the article is fundamentally inappropriate for Wikipedia and really cannot be fixed. See Bad Article Ideas, Notability, Things I Made Up One Day, and No Original Research. "Pussy Beer Pussy" fails all of these, and the subject itself - not the article - is the problem. It has nothing to do with the sexual slang in the title - Wikipedia is not censored. Dethme0w (talk) 08:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA

Well, y'see, it's KAPPA here. Note how I set myself apart from other Anons with a NAME. I see you do the same. That makes us brothers, naturally, and so I'm hurt. Why would you change my edit, brother?

"NOTE: THIS IS PART OF THE FICTIONAL GHOST IN THE SHELL UNIVERSE. IT TALKS ABOUT AN ENTIRELY FICTIONAL ALTERNATE FUTURE FOR THE MODERN-DAY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

The banner at the top said to present the information in an out-of-universe style, and so I took the liberty to point out that it was fictional. Is that so wrong, my dear brother? After all, why rewrite the ENTIRE page when a simple disclaimer will do? I thought another name like myself, a brother, could understand there is no need to rewrite the entire page. I mean, it talks about World War III. What kind of idiot would think WWIII happened without them even knowing because they read an article about a fictional universe?

Perhaps it is because despite our names, brother, we are all Anonymous. The internet is the ultimate mask, a shroud under which you can justify yourself with little effort, a shroud under which a self-righteous basement dweller can feel as influential as the greatest revolutionary. Perhaps that is why you feel my actions were unjust? Whatever it is, I feel something isn't quite right. So what's the situation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.43.18 (talk) 04:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your edit because your edit removed a tag that was valid for the article. "In-universe" doesn't mean that people might mistake it for reality, only that the content of the article may not be understandable to those who are not already familiar with the subject. Dethme0w (talk) 04:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Quite a professional response, Dethme0w. Bravo. And thanks for clearing up the issue. -KAPPA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.43.18 (talk) 04:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Dexter Lehtinen

According to Wikipedia:Citing sources "Citations for newspaper articles typically include the title of the article in quotes, the byline (author's name), the name of the newspaper in italics, date of publication, page number(s)..."; so could you please explain to me what is wrong with my citations? Callelinea (talk) 06:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

There is no way to know which of them pertain to which claims in the article. Use inline citations, preferably to online sources. Dethme0w (talk) 06:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I was in the process of putting all the inline citations when my references were taken out by Corvus who has had numerious editorial fights with me. And the sources were correct in the bottom of the article. I would like to reques that you reinstall the sources. Callelinea (talk) 06:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It probably won't be necessary to restore all of them. The inlines you have already added are enough to remove the {{unsourced}} tag. Just go through the article and your own copy of that list and put in as many as you think are needed to support the points of the article. A seemingly indiscriminate list of newspaper article titles and dates that happen to include the subject doesn't really help, and I think that is what Corvus Cornix's point was. Dethme0w (talk) 06:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Callelinea has re-added his bogus references to Dexter Lehtinen. Corvus cornix_talk 07:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Now that they're in-line, we can match news pieces to article claims. If you still think they're bogus (i.e. that they don't support the claims in the article) the onus is really not on Callelinea to show that they're not, but on a concerned editor who has access to the relevant newspapers. Of course that's why we prefer online sources, using {{cite web}}. Prefer but not require. Remember to assume good faith. Dethme0w (talk) 07:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please review the article again. I think Corvus is just acting up. Callelinea (talk) 07:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I've had too many interactions with Callelinea in which he has applied bad faith, for me to assume good faith. Callelinea believes that Wikipedia rules do not apply to him. Corvus cornix_talk 07:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

This discussion belongs on the article's talk page. Dethme0w (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Now that they're in-line, we can match news pieces to article claims. If you still think they're bogus (i.e. that they don't support the claims in the article) the onus is really not on Callelinea to show that they're not, but on a concerned editor who has access to the relevant newspapers Disagree. The newspaper is online, Callelinea admits that he pulled the references out of an online search, the onus is on him to provide links. Corvus cornix_talk 21:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Skizoo

There is nothing in the article which references any of the notability claims you make in your edit summary. Therefore, the article, on its face, is a speedy deletion candidate. If you want to add those refs, then please do so, otherwise, it should be deleted. Corvus cornix_talk 06:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The article is unlikely to be speedied, because it does assert notability by its claim (which a quick googling verified) that the band is signed to a major label (EMI). See the info box in the article. If I were an admin, I'd decline the speedy. I do agree that the creator of the article needs to enunciate the band's notability better and I was just thinking up a non-bitey way to get that message across when you placed the above.

Can you tell me how this is relevant to Oak Bay? I don't see the relevance. Dethme0w (talk) 04:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

-I don't know where to put this, but I thought Pedder Bay was in Oak Bay and that it's important, so I wanted to put it there. Can you redirect me to another article that would suit my add-on's purpose better? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamuren (talk • contribs) 04:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Glacier

The subject is not a personal attack, Glacier Capital Group refers to an organization. I noted that there was originally an article posted about glacier several days go, which referred to Glacier as a legitimate company with $300M in assets. The article was removed as "advertising". I did a simple check and confirmed that it was not in fact advertising, but fraud. Had they said "the best", or some other qualitative praise, then it would strictly qualify as adverstising. But the original poster made a statement of fact. The statement, through verifiable sources, turns about to be false, and knowingly false. Also, the organization has ties to a ring of fraud that has recently come to light. There is no attack or tone; at least not intentionally. How would you recommend that article be adjusted to reflect the facts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasong27 (talk • contribs) 06:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

The article started off by calling an individual a "con man" without a source. Basically it takes a conviction to be legally clear to call someone a con man (and even then, one would be playing with fire). But that is academic; the article was deleted by an admin for being about a company that is not notable. When you make ~~accusations~~ claims about a person, you absolutely must back them up with references to reliable (published) sources - every claim must be verifiable. There is no wiggle room whatsoever on this. Dethme0w (talk) 06:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Contested speedy deletion

I'm contesting your proposed Speedy Deletion of the Freakangels article on the grounds that it wasn't even a minute old before you slapped it with the speedy delete notice. I maintain that this is a bit too soon to judge an article and maybe you should wait a few days and see what the article becomes after it's been worked on a bit before trying to get rid of it. If you don't believe me about the timing, check the edit history of the page. According to the edit history both the article and the speedy delete notice were made ON THE EXACT SAME MINUTE. I would suggest that maybe you could wait a while before leaping for the eraser. --Stenun (talk) 07:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

You didn't show how it was notable. This article was about web content that didn't even exist yet (article created Feb. 6, launch date Feb. 15th). That is practically an admission that the web content is non-notable. If the web comic catches on, and the site gets lots of hits, and most importantly of all, if it is reviewed or otherwise written about by reliable sources such as major mainstream media, then you're welcome to re-create it - but start with why it's notable. This is very important - the article as it existed unquestionably met the criteria for speedy deletion for which no wait period is, nor should be, necessary. Until then, I'd like to point out that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Dethme0w (talk) 08:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

You nominated it for Speedy Deletion LESS THAN ONE MINUTE after it was first created. Are you seriously suggesting that every article meets wikipedia standards that soon after being created? While no wait period is strictly necessary I think it is absurd to pounce on an article that soon after it is created; surely common sense should play a part as wel but evidently not. But whatever, it's gone, you win. But it will be back sooner or later. --Stenun (talk) 09:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The article sat there in your edit box for however long it took you to type the initial text. I'm sure that was much longer than a minute. Policy is clear: an article that does not assert notability may be deleted at any time. You should have included why the subject was notable before the very first time you clicked the "Save Page" button. Note that just saying "this is notable" is not enough - you have to indicate how the subject meets the criteria for web content notability immediately, even though you don't have to actually back it up with references right away. For example, if the site had been reviewed in a major magazine, you could include that fact in the inital draft and then later actually dig up the needed references and links. Dethme0w (talk) 09:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Well gee, and here was I thinking that we were allowed to work on and edit articles over time. I don't suppose it occured to you to try asking me why it was notable and then waiting for an answer? No, of course not, that's not "policy"... --Stenun (talk) 09:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It looks like this speedy deletion thing is a careless habit with Dethme0w. It makes no difference how long the page sits in an authors edit box when you, the deleter, take less than a minute to read the article before deciding it is not worthy. That's not editing, that's censoring. BTW, I had a look at those criteria, and I can find no basis for deletion of the page I wrote about Charles Stanley McGee. Would you care to enlighten me?

Adnan Ghalib

Hey. Would you mind giving me your opinion about the Adnan Ghalib article? I originally had it stating that he was born in Afghanistan and raised in Britain. The source I provided stated just that. An anon IP (99.229.207.78) keeps removing that and adding the original content and providing a different source, which after having read that source, only states that he is "of Pakistani origin". Your opinion would help me out a lot as I really don't want to get into an edit war with this person, but just in case I do, some backup would be beneficial. Thanks! Pinkadelica (talk) 08:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I had added a lot of {{fact}} tags to the older version in hopes that we would be able to present the editor(s) who added those claims with a choice: either source them or withdraw them.

Image:Alberta License Plate.jpg

Hey. I noticed that you placed a speedy deletion tag on Image:Alberta License Plate.jpg stating that the image was vandalism. The uploader placed a {{hangon}} tag on the page, and from what it looks like to me, properly justified that the image should stay. Thus, I've taken the liberty of removing the template. I just thought I'd let you know this, since you placed the original speedy deletion tag. scetoaux ^{(talk) (My contributions.)} 03:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I tagged it with CSD G3 which includes pure vandalism, but also obvious hoaxes. Please understand that at the time I tagged it, there was no explanation at all, the image had already been deleted once before under the same criterion, and the resolution was so low as to make it impossible to tell if the licence plate really was a colossal blunder on the part of the government of Alberta, or just a Photoshop job. Dethme0w (talk) 03:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Right. But I just thought it would be courteous to let you know that I removed the template. If you still feel it applies, you may add it again, but add the {{hangon}} in deference to the person that uploaded the image. scetoaux ^{(talk) (My contributions.)} 04:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

There is no policy that requires that I assume that good-faith edits are made by someone on the same wavelength as me, and in this case I think my assumption on that score was probably spot-on. In other words, I acknowledge that you were thinking completely differently than I - that fact doesn't diminish the value of either contribution, and for the love of Ghod I wish more editors would keep that in mind - we'd have no need for WP:CIVIL if they did. Dethme0w (talk) 07:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

So, basically, it's all my fault because I misunderstood the context? I admit, I was partially at fault, but you're blowing this way out of proportion. You responded in a way that seemed quite rude, and I'm trying with all my might to be polite to you. Let's just move on; it's ridiculous that this would need further discussion. Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 07:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not saying that your edit was less valuable... Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 07:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Since we can't seem to see eye to eye in spite of mutual best efforts, I agree that moving on is probably best. Cheers, Dethme0w (talk) 07:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I apologize for my actions, and I hope that we can work together in the future. Cheers! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 07:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I reverted my own edit and I put the text back there. :) Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 07:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

stop vandilizng the kurashiki page!

You are deleting accurate content before anyone has had the chance to even give a proper citation to the content. Allow the chance for citations to be addes (how about at least one miunute) before you revert accurate content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiwiinjapan1984 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you're POV-pushing, and refusing to discuss it. Edits like that should be reverted. Neutral point of view is one of Wikipedia's core policies and is not open to interpretation. Dethme0w (talk) 05:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I am only adding facts

If you can tell me these are not facts, then fine. They are facts so they must be in the page. Stop vandilizng the kurashiki page. Kiwiinjapan1984 (talk) 05:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The only one vandalising that page is you. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Articles must have a neutral point of view. You are soapboxing and pushing a point of view, and you have not provided a single reference. This is disruptive and pretty much defines Wiki vandalism. The Three-Revert Rule allows editors to revert disruptive edits (such as yours) as many times as necessary to maintain the encyclopedia's neutral point of view and other elements of its basic integrity. That is what I am doing. And all along I have been inviting discussion on this issue, which you have ignored. If you're trying to claim you're not POV-pushing, this behaviour doesn't help. Also, the burden of evidence (references) is on you, as the editor introducing claims that are being questioned. Dethme0w (talk) 05:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Gnaural

Hello! I crated the page for Gnaural and you put it up for deletion but i was wondering what the article could use to make it worthy. I looked at similar articles and i still don't see why it needs to be deleted. Thanks :) Shadowmage13 (talk) 20:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't show notability. It doesn't appear to have made an impact on the industry. If you can show otherwise through references, you still have a few days to do so. Also, the fact that other articles exist is not a defense of this one. You'll need to save it on its own merits. Dethme0w (talk) 21:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I see. Well, when i was talking about other articles, i wasn't talking about articles related to this one. I was just looking at other software articles that are in the clear and i couldn't figure out what they had that this one doesn't. I don't see where they list a source which shows it's impact or anything. If you want an example you can look through the multimedia software stubs. Sorry i'm not too familiar with editing wikipedia but i like to contribute here and there. Thanks Shadowmage13 (talk) 04:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of dodging catherine?

i put all facts about that band and its real so why was it tagged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric bourgeois (talk • contribs) 20:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The subject of the article does not meet Wikipedia's standards for notability in musical groups. When I tag an article for deletion, the deletion does not automatically happen - this article was deleted because an administrator agreed with my assessment. You're welcome to re-create the article if you can show, through references to published reliable sources, that this group is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. And remember that Wikipedia is not a directory - people and groups aren't automatically entitled to an article. Just showing up and being real isn't enough.

Speedy Deletion of Charles Stanley McGee

Your deletion of this page makes no sense, as the article is quite notable, has been written about in several Boston and Florida news stories, and it concerns a public official in a matter of public concern. Charles Stanley McGee is a high ranking politician in the Deval Patrick gubernatorial administration (Massachusetts) and has recently been charged with a very serious offense. He is free on several hundred thousand dollars bail money. His case is commented on by Boston radio personalities and is a current events story, NOT a personal attack, as was claimed in the "speedy deletion" message I received just now.

Nothing in the page I wrote could be rightly considered a personal attack. I am an attorney and I am well aware of the legal limitations of my first amendment rights. I know they do not give me carte blanche to expose private individuals to public attention, nor do they allow me to libel anyone. In my article, I have done neither. I have only reported what is available through open source news documents on a public figure in a matter of public concern. Please reinstate my page at once or at least provide a more complete explanation as to what is wrong with the page, as submitted.

Thank you, Levelor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Levelor (talk • contribs) 04:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I only tagged it as a candidate for deletion. I did not delete it, nor do I have the power to restore it. Oh, and please read WP:OWN - it is NOT "your" page. Dethme0w (talk) 04:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I realize that it may not legally be "mine" but I did take the time to create it and was very careful not to violate any laws or, so I thought, wikipedia rules in the process. Is it possible for only the offending portions to be removed rather than summary dismissal of its entirety? Could you at least tell me why you tagged it for deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Levelor (talk • contribs) 13:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you (or someone) let me know who has the power to restore the page that was tagged for deletion? I'd like to make my case to whoever it is that makes these decisions.

Thank you Levelor (talk) 23:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Socialroster

Hi, you flagged my page Socialroster for speedy deletion. I made this page and I own the site www.socialroster.com. It is a legitemate page and new startup social network that is listed on google and yahoo and all of the information I put in there is accurate. Can you please take the flag off. I own the url and feel that I should be able to list an accurate wikipedia entry about it. Thank You. Btomasette

No, you should not be able to "list a wikipedia entry" about it because you have a conflict of interest. This does not address the fact that legit or not, this article clearly fails the notability criteria. Dethme0w (talk) 05:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

That policy clearly says that I cannot do that UNLESS it describes and is about the software or method in which the website was made. I have now updated this and another editor has commented to keep the listing. Please remove the tags you placed for speedy deletion. Thank You! Btomasette —Preceding comment was added at 05:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Another editor who says he knows you, which puts him in a conflict of interest as well. You have not addressed the central issue here - this is a brand new website that has not established notability sufficient for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a directory and this article is not a listing. You don't get to have an article/advertisement about your company just for showing up. You must show that it is notable, and this you have not done. The tags will not be removed unless an administrator does so. Dethme0w (talk) 06:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

It was a good call tagging that article. Keep up the good work. Toddst1 (talk) 00:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

NetBox Blue deletion

Can I please request the information from the deleted article for NetBox Blue. Thanks. Mickyounger —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickyounger (talk • contribs) 03:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I only proposed it for deletion, I am not the admin who deleted it. I must admit I didn't think it was going to be deleted, you were doing a pretty good job of unspamming it. However, if you were in a conflict of interest, then there was probably no argument you could make to keep it. The admin who deleted it is Orangemike - make your case with him.

Aw, you took away my warning! I don't get warnings very often, and I was seriously entertained by it, and you just had to take my little toy away from me, didn't you? Meany-pants. :) -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 04:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I just don't (knowingly) template the regulars, especially admins. Although you ought to have had an inkling when you created the article that there might be a WP:NOTE challenge. No worries though. Dethme0w (talk) 04:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

You did work out what happened, right? I was prodding the article just as someone else deleted it, and accidentally recreated it. It happens sometimes when two people are smacking down an article at the same time; you just are tagging so fast tonight that you caught it before I had a chance to delete my zombie article, which I did a second or two later. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 04:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Apparently I'm working too fast even for that. Either way, removing the warning was the proverbial Right Thing To Do. G'nite... Dethme0w (talk) 04:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

It was, because people who use automated vandal-smacking programs have warned users light up in red when they make new edits. It makes it easier to check the edits of people who are vandalizing, but when someone who is working actively and usefully gets lit up from a warnings, it can really mess up those editors using the programs. I was sort of waiting for one of them to come and complain... but you were right to remove it, and I was being unnecessarily whimsical in leaving it up. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 04:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Still up for deletion

I believe I have submitted more than enough information to prove its notability. Why is it still up for speedy deletion? --Aridnyk89 (talk) 00:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

It was retagged by someone else, probably because you have NOT shown notability. In other words, I am apparently not the only Wikipedian challenging this article. Fan clubs are not inherently notable just because the object of their admiration is. All your references but one are to the fan club's own website. This was tagged because it appears not to be a notable organization, and I am beginning to doubt that you can show otherwise. Dethme0w (talk) 01:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
