Autobiographical tone, and what little claims to notability there are aren't bourne out by a google search. --Cryptic (talk) 09:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

PLEASE STOP BLOCKING PEOPLE- this is hotpants, having moved all the way over to the computer next to me in a lab full of computers. Listen, if people were trying to circumvent your system with sock puppets, they would have a hell of a lot more votes for keep. People are just getting their friends, like me, to vote with them after giving them reasons of various persuasions. You are encouraging people to circumvent your system by blocking them whenever they vote keep. It's absurd. I don't understand how your complaint process works, but you are not doing yourself any favours here. These computers MAY havw a shared IP due to people posting via the same ANU gateway (Ambi should know). I fail to see how this is a violation, stop arbitarily deleting people.

Comment- long hair, get a hair cut- person whose chair just got taken for 5 minutes- 'TagTeam 07:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)TagTeam' 1st Warning You have blatantly violated this boards policies by indefinitely blocking anyone who votes keep for any of the threads a bunch of my friends started. Remove them immedietely. You have no grounds for doing so, and if you can't believe that we know 10 people who would vote for this then you are crazy. I expect those IP's, particularly the one belonging to my buddy hotpants here, unfrozen immedietely. If you won't play by the rules, don't expect us to either- 'TagTeam 08:06, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)TagTeam'
 * Delete. Hoax, too many sockpuppets. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:37, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep too, and stop blocking my buddies. I mean, let's look at it this way, either hotpants and I are lying, or we are somehow ablt to procure dozens of computers REALLY quick.  You stop blocking people aimlessly, I'll stick to just getting real people and not using each of the several hundred computers within 1 minutes walk.  You play fair, so will we.  And let's cut the silly insults, huh long hair?-  'TagTeam 07:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)TagTeam'

 * Delete this hoax. Also, BJAODN this hilarious sockpuppetfest of a VFD. Scott5114 08:25, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep it- It think that unless someone has any arguments for WHY it must be deleted which are incredibly persuasive, it must stay. What are we coming to when the word of a newbie is worth less than any other poster? I haven't seen anything persuasive to make me think otherwise yet- 'Freezer 09:36, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)Freezer'

Now hold on! How is any one of us going and asking other people to vote sock puppeting? We are simply getting other concerned internet posters, some who may have used this site without ever wanting to make a change, for years to post. IF anything, we are strengthening the site by involving more people. They simply have a different point of view to you right now. Someone convincing friends to vote for them is no more wrong than you convincing your buddies on this board to vote for deletion, the difference being we don't stick up sock puppet pictures and launch baseless accusations at people. Most of these posts up for deletion have no reasoning beyond "not on google, kill it"- 'TagTeam 10:36, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)TagTeam'
 * Delete and keep blocking - vanity, possible self-advertising, large amount of sockpuppets, threats of vandalism. Admits to recruiting other to vote, althought may be just one guy promoting himself - Skysmith 10:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Please see Sock puppet. --Cryptic (talk) 10:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The fact that someone has never posted before is not evidence that they are ONLY coming here for that one purpose. This thread may be the first one they've seen, and go on to inspire many more. Nor can the motives of these friends be known, especially if you don't ask them. Maybe we need to have a sub-committee and an investigation to sort this whole mess out- 'TagTeam 11:03, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)TagTeam'

 * Delete, hoax. K1Bond007 22:25, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Passing this kind of nonsense through a voting process is a technique for ensuring that it gets the fullest coverage and wastes maximal time. Thus it contributes to the hoax project's success. --Wetman 22:30, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
