Roller Soaker

 * Delete looks like this may be spam for this guy's theme park - whether spam or good faith, it's still NN - Blood red sandman 23:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete. It looks like an advertisement and very non-notable. --Eugene2x -- ☺ Nintendo rox! 04:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. It may have looked like an advertisement, but it is definitely not. As I mentioned in the AFD discussion for Trailblazer (roller coaster), this is a roller coaster at a major amusement park--Hersheypark--run by what is probably the most well-known confectionary company in the world, Hershey. Passes WP:V and is definitely not spam. I have done some major clean-up and formating work on this and listed it with Wikiproject Roller Coasters. Irongargoyle 05:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I forgot to mention that it is one of only two coasters of its kind in the world. Irongargoyle 05:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please see related discussion at: Articles for deletion/Trailblazer (roller coaster). Irongargoyle 05:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Part of a series of roller coaster articles.  RFerreira 18:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. If you delete this, you'll have to delete all of the coasters in the "Roller coasters at Hersheypark" box, and then why have roller coaster boxes for major amusement parks anyway.  Heck, delete all of the roller coaster articles.  I'm sure WikiProject Roller Coasters will love it.  The unique water aspect alone makes it notable: a steel inverted coaster (not a flume) in which riders and spectators get soaked.  It's obvious that Angry Lawyer, Blood red sandman and Eugene2x are completely ignorant of the subject ("some guy's theme park"??!) of the article and have not bothered to do any research before voting.  The damn thing's a stub.  You wouldn't have nominated it for AfD if it was as completely written as some of the other roller coaster articles. 12.22.250.4 21:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I completely agree with your point, but let's assume good faith here. It was in pretty shoddy condition before I snagged the article, formatted it per WikiProject Roller Coasters and asserted notability. Irongargoyle 22:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I.m gonna withdraw my delete vote, but I think you should check the history of the article to see the condition it was in before we cast our votes - dire and almost impossible to research. Thanks for the rewrite though, it's saved the article! Blood red sandman 12:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
