Howardshrine.net
A tag has been placed on Howardshrine.net, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Howardshrine.net and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Julius Sahara (talk) 15:56, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I just deleted the page. Simply put, Wikipedia articles about websites should have reliable mentions of why the website in question is notable, and they should cover the website in an encyclopedic, objective manner. For the reference, someone on the talk page suggested EverythingWiki, GibberishWiki or TestWiki for this kind of material. Wikipedia is also most certainly not a humour site dedicated to picking on individual members of online communities; that's more like Encyclopedia Dramatica's job. Anyway, if you want to recreate the site in accordance to our policies, feel free, but rememebr, this site is not meant to be funny or anything. (Except if the subject matter is funny, of course, and naturally also due to unintentional reasons. =) Happy editing! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
