Cyber Slam
Cyber Slam has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this community is not notable enough for an article. Please review the relevant guidelines at WP:WEB. If you can edit the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 15:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

About Cyber Slam page
NickelShoe has suggested to delete the Cyber Slam entry within hours of going up. While I do like the speed at which things can change on Wikipedia, I do NOT believe the Cyber Slam entry should be deleted. This is a first full entry for me and there is a LOT to learn. The Cyber Slam entry has already gone through a number of small edits and I'm trying to get the members of the Cyber Slam community more involved.

On a small note: If the Cyber Slam entry is deleted, I personally feel this would be unfair as many other Wikipedia websites entries have less content and are out of date. It would be a real shame to push some people away that are trying to learn the system while others that have clearly not tried hard are welcome to stay. (More than welcome to post links to a handful of entry if required.)

With a little bit of time, I'm sure the Cyber Slam communtiy will have a solid Wikipedia entry.

BTW, Thanks NickelShoe for the pointers!


 * response to tag


 * The issue is not with the amount of content on the article but whether the article should be included in wikipedia. The original person that requested its deletion felt, from the tag, that the article was too close to advertising. Some relevant pages to read are what wikipedia is not. It's not a clear cut case though, and any deletion of the article will, at this time, require consensus. As of right now the article isn't in danger of being deleted, although it is somewhat likely that the editor that would like it deleted will nominate it for deletion. If that happens the page will have instructions for you to contest the deletion. - cohesion &#9733; talk 09:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, help and advice. Tigger-oN 09:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, I'm not the one who proposed the deletion, I'm the one who bothered to tell you about it. If you have a question about something someone posts on your talk page, click on their screenname and it'll take you to their user page. Then click the "discussion" tab and "edit this page" to leave them a message.  I'd've come back and helped you with this if you'd've asked me.
 * It would be reasonable for you to put your reasoning for why the article should be kept on its talk page. But reasoning that since there are bad articles out there, we should keep all articles doesn't make sense. Just because an article is out there doesn't mean it ought to be.  Plenty of articles out there should be deleted, but no one's got around to it yet.
 * You can propose these other articles for deletion if you want them gone simply by adding to the top of them, putting your reasoning in place of "Reason."  To let the creator of the article know, click "history" on the top of the article, then click the person's name who's at the bottom and go to their discussion page.  You can leave them a form letter by typing  (replacing "Article name" with the name of the article). NickelShoe 12:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Great job, if that was you who made the recent edits. I'm glad that someone put some effort into improving the article.  I just voted keep.  NickelShoe 00:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cyber Slam


The article Cyber Slam has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Little indication of notability and basically WP:PROMO. Orphaned for a decade."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Total classic.
 * Someone who has no involvement in a topic or a subculture at all has requested an article they know nothing about to be removed. And the reason? Subjective reasons from uninformed Wikipedia member.
 * The fact that you personally, from your position in the world, with your limited world experience believes the article should be removed.
 * You are basically saying that your opinion is more important than those of the people that have been directly involved in a small piece of personal history, in a moment that left a number of individuals with an experience, that helped to shape these individuals and their lives. And what do you want to do? You want to chip away, to start removing a small part of that memory because you feel something you know nothing about should be deleted.
 * The secondary reason? Has not been updated. Why is editing an article required or even important? If the information is correct, why does it need to be changed?
 * Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised
 * How about you remove the  because you put it there without any knowledge of the topic, the impact the site has had, or have any empathy for someone else. That would be the best and first and only step required to address the (non) issues raised.
 * It is very hard to believe that the few bytes that this article takes up need to be so desperately recovered.
 * Technically, the article is not even deleted from the database, it is simply marked as such. Therefore, "deleting" the article is not a gain or a benefit at all to anyone, but a loss to all. Wikipedia has no gain, you are personally tagged as the cause of the removal and everyone connected has a sense of loss as well. Where is the win? It is double loss.

Orphaned non-free image File:Cyberslam.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Cyberslam.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
