The result was   delete. I have closed this early due to the appearance of WP:SNOW; this kind of article cannot technically classify for CSD, although it would never have a chance of receiving support at an AfD due to its intrinsic WP:NOT nature.

 * Hey, what could be more welcoming and encouraging then calling a person a poor sap? Of course, I live in a nation where people are welcomed by a statue that refers to newcomers as "wretched refuse".  Mandsford (talk) 13:03, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
