[edit] Motorola Modding
A long dicdef, but still a dicdef. Delete. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Wiki is not a how-to. Suffers OR as well. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Do Not DeleteDoes not give howto instructions, just a guideline for whats available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prybar00 (talk • contribs) 14:00, December 30, 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. Comes under what Wikipedia is not, which is a reason for deletion. alex.muller (talk) 15:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Nothing but a dictionary definition with some user-guide / how-to elements thrown in. Also suffering from massive OR issues and for some obscene reason finds the need to refer to the reader directly as "you" Not a reason for deletion on its own but still an abomination.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 15:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Do Not DeleteComment You may find this hard to believe, not everyone who reads wikipedia has a Masters in English. Allow me to state again, that my goal was just to start the ball, then hoping the community would help out and we could make it grow, obivously the Wiki community picks and chooses what it's interested in. Nice though, remaining objective, but still using a term like obscene to condescend on my writing style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prybar00 (talk • contribs) 13:53, December 30, 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Wikipedia is not an instruction manual, (this article should be moved to WikiBooks) Macy's123 review me 15:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Do Not DeleteComment - After reading and re-reading, i'm pretty sure i didn't include explicit instructions on modding, did i mention step by step what needs to be done? I give a vague outlien, and perhaps i could have written it a little better, but was hoping to just get the ball rolling and let some community people help out with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prybar00 (talk • contribs) 13:53, December 30, 2007 (UTC)

Do Not DeleteComment - why is everyone here so high and mighty? it doesn't interest you so it doesn't belong. is that it? what is an encyclopedia if not an explanation of what things are. this explains what motorola modding is. and it's a huge community. just do a web search. millions of people involved. i fail to see how it doesn't have the right to have an entry. -- miketheevil1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miketheevil1 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete because it is a how-to guide, which explicitly doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Could also be redirected to Modding. --Bonadea (talk) 22:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
--a reply to above comment. this is not a how-to guide. believe me. there is more to it than that. this wiki only explains what it is, not how it's done.Miketheevil1 (talk) 22:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)miketheevil1
- Comment I have added "unsigned" templates to the unsigned "Do not delete" comments by Prybar00 above; I'm not sure what the usual practice is when one person posts several "Delete" or "Don't delete" votes in good faith. --Bonadea (talk) 17:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Miketheevil1/Prybar00: It's best to write this using reliable sources. This doesn't read like a how-to guide; it's just stating some facts after all, but none of the facts are verifiable at the moment. You need to show that they are actually true by referring to newspapers, etc. –Pomte 01:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete or transwiki to WikiBooks after wikification and cleanup. Doesn't belong on Wikipedia. ><RichardΩ612 16:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
