Pee Your Pants For The Brewers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-encyclopedic. Essentially an advert for an otherwise non-notable real blog based on an anticipated/hoped for event. Touches on several aspects of WP:NOT. (Earlier G1 Speedy nom tag was removed.) Askari Mark (Talk) 03:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, does seem to have some convincing sources but still, Wikipedia is not a news service. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 03:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, basically a WP:NOT collection of news stories about a promise of a future event; WP:SOAP-style advocacy or advertising to 'climb on board the Brewers-playoff-hopes-train. Dreadstar  †  05:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Now I have another reason to root, root, root for the Cubbies. If they don't win it's a stain. Essentially a dump of semi-related links about the Brewers' playoff drive, with maybe a few of them actually relating to this non-notable blog/publicity stunt/whatever. Let's save the peeing for Barry Bonds into a sample cup. Realkyhick 05:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:NOT and WP:CRYSTAL, we can't never know if the team is going to make the playoffs ever again. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  06:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I wish it could've been a speedy, but my request a month ago was turned down. As an editor north of Milwaukee, I never heard of it and all the references are very loosely tied together. Also, I'm embarassed to have even read this article as a Wisconsinite :-\. BTW, thanks for the laugh from your comment, Realkyhick! Nate 08:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. There appears to be some reliable sources (Miami Herald, Boston Globe, SI.com) but they all contain trivial coverage (a website exists, have you heard of it?, etc). In the article right now, it looks like everything under "References:" is a copy-paste from the website's press page. It seems to me that the only thing that would ever change in the article is the number of pledges. Because the coverage is only trivial, I don't think it meets the notability requirements for websites. Wikipedia is not a news service or a soapbox. Perhaps it could be mentioned in the Milwaukee Brewers article when they do make the playoffs, but I don't think it deserves it's own article. --Pixelface 09:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove - remove this content per the nom. Actually even borders on incoherency at some points. -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 11:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Event has not happened, Aritcle will require significant rewrite, Most of the references were probably posted on "slow news days" As has been said before WP:NOT.
 * Delete per WP:NOT - No historic notability Corpx 04:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is, at best, a trivial current event, but unless it takes on even a minutia of historical importance, it doesn't meet the Wikipedia standards. --Yendi 16:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Refers to an actual event.  I wikified the article to hopefully make it look nicer (although it's tough to do with all the "I'M GOING TO BE DELETED" templates preceding it :).  It's definitely a stub-class article and could be improved.  Stubiness is not grounds for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by X96lee15 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: Being an "actual event" doesn't make it notable. Realkyhick 03:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think fan sites are really notable. Spanneraol 14:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
