Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LOLCODE

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I'm not at all sure what to do with Citecloud; I have no experience on SPAs. I'll just leave him alone. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 20:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LOLCODE

LOLCODE (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The article does not cite any reliable secondary sources. Also not notable. Citedcloud (talk) 21:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Note to closing admin The nominator of this AfD appears to be a single-purpose account, created solely to initiate this AfD. It is also probably an alternative account of an experienced Wikipedia editor. The nominator has (so far) not responded to requests (below) to explain their unusual actions. It is therefore possible that this might be a bad faith nomination. Please take this into account when closing this AfD. Gandalf61 (talk) 09:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete - Nothing more really needs to be said. Clearly non-notable with clearly unreliable secondary sources. —  scetoaux (T|C) 21:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Weak Delete This is sort of a close call (and I LOL'd), but too much tongue-in-cheek self-reference and bloggage, as opposed to reliable third party coverage. Townlake (talk) 22:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep - not notable ??? Featured at Microsft's TechED 2007 conference; implemented in Microsoft DLR; mentioned in Computer Department News at Lancaster University (home of creator) and on CNN (I have added sources to the article); and literally tens of thousands of Google hits. Obviously meets notability criteria. Gandalf61 (talk) 13:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment Not necessarily, the GNAA article has more 'notability' than this, and it got deleted! Citedcloud (talk) 17:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment Don't know what the "GNAA article" is/was, but the fate of other articles is not really relevant here - each article should stand or fall on its own merits in AfD. But I was sufficiently interested to try to track down the "GNAA article" in your contribution history. So I saw you created a new account Citedcloud on June 2 and your first action is to nominate an article on AfD. Do you perhaps have another Wikipedia account somewhere ? Gandalf61 (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment the account thing is irrelevant. please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay Nigger Association of America (18th nomination) for more information on the GNAA article deletion. Citedcloud (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment The "account thing" is very relevant, because openness is important in AfD discussions. Unless you are open about your use of different accounts, how do we know that you are not contributing to this discussion under different aliases ? There are sometimes legitimate reasons for using alternative accounts, but there are also procedures that should be followed to ensure openness. You are obviously much more familiar with Wikipedia procedures and history than a truly new user would be. I invite you to explain which other Wikipedia account names you have used in the past, whether you are still using them, and why you created what appears to be a single purpose account to initiate this AfD.

Comment No response to my invitation above, so I have added a Note to closing admin at the top of this AfD. Gandalf61 (talk) 09:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, then fire Adam Lindsay from Lancaster University, then demolish Lancaster University as undeserving of any academic reputation, then remove Lancatser's city status, then flood Lancashire to convert it to a better use as a reservoir to protect against the consequences of global warming.
