User:Starblind/Museum

Andrew Lenahan's Deletion Museum is an attempt to create a collection of some of the funny, odd, and interesting things which happen on Wikipedia during the course of AFD, DRV, and related processes. Before proceeding, please note that this is a user page subpage, and that nothing here necessarily reflects the views of Wikipedia or the Wikipedia community in general. Oh, and this is meant to be (mostly) funny, so relax!

The Big Lead Ring: Worst Notability Claims
The Big Lead Ring award goes to those with extraordinary achievement in presenting their ordinary achievements.


 * From the article Jeff Quessenberry: "in a nutshell Jeff is a man who has lived a meteorcer life"
 * Either Jeff hatched from a meteor, or that's the world's worst spelling of "mediocre" in the history of the English language.


 * From the article Fabien dupuy: "he is still performing at now some aweful developpements"
 * We can't wait.


 * From the article Acharya Anupam Rai: "Wonder Music Legend Acharya Anupam Rai has been prestigiously voiced as real phenomena."
 * Despite the link, there was never an article at Wonder Music Legend, though I would have loved to read one.


 * From the article Salvador Martinez Cruz: "Salvadors' Ants and Grandfather were his only family..."
 * ...so watch where you step.

The Golden Hands and Knees: Vigourous or Unusual Defences
Some people don't want an article. Others couldn't care less whether they have one or not. On the other hand...


 * From the AFD Jonathan Barreiro: "This is not fair! George Bush gets an article, and I dont! I dont want a chat feature, or a blog. I want an autobiography. It is my constitutional right under S78 (Australia). I have as much significance as any other leader or person, I have people who want to read about me. Please dont delete the article, give me a week to update my auto biography. If its no good then by all means delete. Jony."
 * Imagine, an encyclopedia with an article about the current president of the United States that doesn't also have an article about every high-school student worldwide! Can you believe it?  What is this world coming to?!  Never fear, though, as Jonathan has discovered that the Australian constitution states that everybody gets their own vanity article in every encyclopedia, apparently.  What a country!

The Golden Doggie Bone: Pet Vanity
The Golden Doggie Bone is awarded to those who actually bother to write about their own pet, usually a dog or cat. This is such an obvious no-no that it's often used as a hyperbole as the worst imaginable type of vanity: "If encyclopedia articles don't have to be about notable subjects, then why shouldn't I make an article about myself and my dog?" Of course, that doesn't stop these folks...


 * Lilly the Beagle: Lilly's, according to her article, "lived a personal life of laziness, cuteness, and independance". The highlight was the quotes section, which included dated pearls of wisdom such as "I am a sad sad beagle." (September 2005) and  "I love you very much, my glorious hamburger." (June 2005)
 * Calvin the puppy (speedied): a puppy born in 2005. Article didn't specify the breed, or much else for that matter.
 * Mooka Mookason (speedied): a cat. From the article: "Why should Mooka be different from any other black cat? Well, she isn't."  At the end of the article was "PS Go Irish!"
