 * Please put more effort into your nominations. Using AfD jargon ("nn", in particular) makes you look lazy and ill-bred, confuses new users (particularly new users who want to know why you want to delete their work), and will cause pretty girls to hate you and your car keys to go missing even though you just put them down a second ago.  Far better, for your reputation, your health, and your love-life, to instead explain why you want something deleted in simple and polite English.  A bit of detail won't go astray, either.

 * I was just clicking "edit" to encourage you along the same lines. When asserting that something is "non-notable", please always link to the notability criteria that you are using and explain how the subject does not satisfy those criteria. Uncle G 15:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable per anon205, also vanity. Paddles TC 13:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable, and failing WP:VAIN. I think that it also fails WP:CORP. Th ε Halo Θ 14:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You can't violate WP:CORP or WP:VAIN (well, not without ... no, never mind). WP:CORP, WP:MUSIC, etc. are guidelines to give an indication of what sort of articles the Wikipedia community is likely to accept.  If a band passes WP:MUSIC, this means the article is likely to be welcome ... however, there's no reason to keep just because it passes WP:MUSIC, or delete just because it fails.  If that weren't enough, guidelines like WP:CORP and WP:MUSIC are all about inclusion, not exclusion.  We don't shop around for applicable guidelines and say, "you must pass each of these, or we'll dip you in boiling lava!"  (Instead we say, "if you can pass just one portion of one of these, you'll be spared the boiling lava ... for now!").  As for the article being written by someone connected with the subject ... well, "vanity" is not and has never been a reason for deletion.  It can be a reason why an article is crap, and that crappiness then becoming a reason for deletion, but if that's what you want to argue it would serve you well to make this explicit instead of mumbling about "violations" and "creepy aliens in my underwear" and other such nonsense.  Happy editing!  fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, and WP:NN is also a guideline (one that is being used to justify this article's deletion). However, I use these guidlines to clearly show other voters why I think an article should be deleted. Just because the guidlines are intended for inclusion, not exclusion, it does not mean that we can't say, "Hey, take a look at these. This article meets none of them, therfore I believe it to be un-encyclopedic, and should be deleted.". However, you are right in saying that it can't technically violate these guidline, therefore I've changed to fails. Happy editing to you too ;) Th ε Halo Θ 14:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
