Reirom
This article (and its mate on Wikiquote) comes across as either a vanity page or a joke, especially given that it English style suggesting written from persons it about. I don't know what kind of "emulation forum" this person is supposed to be famous in, but I'd be happy to have my ignorance corrected. (There are some webpages that make reference to "Reirom" and his(?) indecipherable "emuspeak", but the ones I checked seemed as suspect as the original info. I'm looking for hard evidence.) Does anyone know what this is about, and if so, is this article salvageable? (Even if it's legit, it needs to be translated from its cryptic form, as the average en:Wikipedia reader doesn't read emuspeak.) Please respond Delete or Keep, and include any knowledge and especially any reliable citations you may have to convince folks whether it's real or a hoax. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 06:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep*. Reirom is the king of ROMS, the pope of emulation, the midas netal.
 * Delete. Doesn't matter if it's real or a hoax, the person is non-notable.  RickK 07:01, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 07:10, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Ditto. Sigh. --Securiger 11:50, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reirom is a meme. --Mateusc 19:56, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Mateusc, you've said that elsewhere, but haven't provided any evidence that anyone but you believes this. (The lack of evidence itself suggests that it isn't a meme.) I don't think Richard Dawkins would agree with your use of the term. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 06:51, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless significant evidence of, well, significance is presented, such as a Wired article. Gamaliel 19:59, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. -- Dcfleck 16:30, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reirom is a notorious figure in the internet. Information about him shall be kept for posteriority! unsigned vote from 201.8.87.109
 * Delete vanity/non-notable. — Sesel wa  09:49, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
