Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clue 9

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete.

I count 8 clear "delete" votes and 4 variations of "keep" votes. One of the keep votes is from a very new user. There is no evidence of sockpupperty but also not much evidence of understanding yet of the community's goals and standards. Reviewing the article, I also find that this is at best a blog topic or news article, not a topic normally found in an encyclopedia. Rossami (talk) 04:15, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * delete, non-notable trivia. Thue | talk 10:08, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, maybe a small mention in the eBay article is warranted, but an entire article about a contest isn't encyclopedic. If it is, expect articles about the HP SuperSleuth Contest and the contest started by my local mall. Mgm|(talk) 11:10, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep baycruft. Kappa 11:40, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Note: user has six edits, all of which relate to this article. damn right buddy. i am a new wikipedia user and i want to contribute, so i thought the first article i could write would be about a relevant topic, namely clue 9. I am then insulted by you listing my page as a 'candidate for deletion' what utter piffle. 15:37, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete transient interest to tiny minority. Dave 17:25, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. Please note Clue9 has previously removed the VfD tag from the article, supplying "rm homossexuality" as his edit summary. Vlad M V  &#1645; talk 20:42, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to eBay article. --Theo (Talk) 09:56, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Come on.  Folks all in a lather about a one-time tempest in a 6 hour teapot.  Unmemorable, unremarkable, uninformative. Geogre 16:24, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. I have changed my mind as a compromise. Clue9 12:29, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
