Speedy deletion of Fingerbootyology
Sorry for speedy deletion of Fingerbootyology, but Wikipedia is not somewhere to list each and every trick in the book. Thanks for your contributions anyway. --Emre D. | Talk 07:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

REPLY: Thanks Emre. What Wiki guidelines required the speedy deletion of Fingerbootyology? Millions of people from around the world have viewed and many have participated in this experience which is the renewal of a Victorian era pasttime (furtling) with modern technology. Sure, it is 100% silly, but it is a real phenomenon which has existed for several years now on several different web pages. Kind regards. Xenophilia 07:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Please see "What Wikipedia is Not" I won't specify exactly what the reason is or where. Because, we should read the guidelines for making helpful contributions anyway. Hope to see you around. Cheers... --Emre D. | Talk 08:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I've read the policies and nothing jumped out at me. I'm still puzzled. Your original comment suggests that your concern was that this topic (trick) was too specific for inclusion. I don't find that objection anywhere in the policy. Wikipedia contains everything from sock puppets to "fingerbaning" to Nine Fingers to the chili finger incident. Unless you have a specific rule that required deletion, please reinstate the page. Thanks. Nice to work with you as always. Xenophilia


 * Chili Finger incident was a significant fraud, costing Wendy's $2.5M. Nine Fingers might be deleted. As I am not into Amiga scene, I can not know Spaceballs' significance. For sock puppets, see Sockpuppet (internet).It is somewhat metaphorically important for internet communities, as well as their usage in entertainment and they are even used in therapy.
 * Looking back to Fingerbootyology, google test returns 1.010 results, the term is not widely used as describing a well known trick. By the way, did you know,you can do the same with you knees, elbow or even shoulders? :) For an obvious reason for speedy deletion; see Wikipedia is not a dictionary
 * Lastly, I was the one to tag the article with, but deletion or reversing the deletion is done by an admin, which I am not. I didn't check who deleted it, but it seems he/she agreed with me and proceeded with deletion. You are welcome to create it again, but unless the article proves to have encylopedic data, it is destined to be deleted. As you can see, I still don't think the topic fits.


 * P.S. I looked at the deletion log and it seems Enochlau was the admin to delete. If you are not satisfied, you can contact him too, which will also provide a third opinion.


 * One more thing, you don't need to post what you say in my talk page. I will know what is posted here, as soon as I log-in to Wikipedia and answer at my convenience (means ASAP). Cheers. --Emre D. | Talk 02:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
