Encyclopedia Dramatica
Encyclopedia Dramatica was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer alive. 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.

"The central purpose of Encyclopedia Dramatica is to provide a reference point regarding Internet drama, memes and Internet phenomena." Nonnotable; Google hits=8. &mdash;tregoweth 02:35, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another desperate attempt to publicize the drivel that's now in Mediacrat, which may have been removed by the time you read this. See the Vfd page for the latter page (direct link) and all will become clear. -- Hoary 04:52, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, more Mediacrat nonsense. Site doesn't even work. Rhobite 05:26, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * It worked earlier. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:35, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a web directory of day-old wikis that that aren't functioning at the moment. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:35, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - Maybe in a few years, if it's become notable, it should be included. --Carnildo 08:13, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. utcursch 09:28, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, wiki is not a blog, nor a link farm of blogs. Wyss 09:36, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Offer us money to advertise your site. We'll turn it down.  Now, try not offering us money to advertise your site.  We'll turn you down.  Delete to keep Wikipedia ad-free. Geogre 14:16, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Created by its own admission mere days after "our good friend and muse jameth was denied entry into the annals of another wiki reference site". Even less notable than the LiveJournal squabble that jameth tried to "enter into the annals" of Wikipedia.  Delete. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:40, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable. Katefan0 19:43, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. If you want to vote on things out of petty vindictiveness, go to Urban Dictionary. Haxtaro 15:22, Dec 15 2004 (UTC) -- user has six edits, half of them to VfD.
 * Keep Keep, for great justice
 * Keep growing by leaps and bounds, though it's content may not be admissible to wikipedia, the existence of the site itself is. it's far more than just the mediacrat vs jameth thing that showed up on wikipedia earlier. comment made anonymously at 22:47, 15 Dec 2004 by SchmuckyTheCat
 * Merely being a large collection of Internet squabbles doesn't make it more encyclopedic. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:18, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Slashdot, somethingawful, rotten.com aren't encyclopedic either. they are simply large sites needing reference. if ED grows at anything close to it's current speed then the need for the article here will return. "if in doubt, don't delete." so, don't delete. if ED disappears in a month, delete it then.SchmuckyTheCat 07:38, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep There's no reason to remove this entry. Let's stop being petty, people. 147.226.206.163 20:56, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC) -- This vote is 147.226.206.163's only edit.

 * addendum to my keep vote, the header for this states google only has eight hits. 4 days later it has 120 hits, that's a tremendous amount of growth.SchmuckyTheCat 07:41, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * It may be incredible growth, but it's still only 120 hits. --Carnildo 07:45, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
