Sam Korn
Wow, I'm honoured. I guess there is a precedent for this (Votes for deletion/Jimmy Wales and Votes for deletion/Angela Beesley), but I don't think I'm quite that notable. I guess it could be userfied... The article is also horrendously POV (though I admit it is my POV) and inaccurate (1. I'm not 16½ 2. cricket is not an extreme sport, although maybe vandal-whacking is 3. My Esperanto is very basic and my Latin only moderate...) I am, however, rather worried that it has taken this long for the page to be nominated for VfD. Nevertheless, I thank my fan club anon for my tribute. Delete. [[smoddy ]] 17:58, 30 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep This entry shouldn't be deleted. Muddy deserves all the glory, and it might be POV but it is the publics POV, and hence it should stay.
 * "Muddy", apparently, is me.  [[smoddy ]] 18:05, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a Wikipedian, even an admin at 16½ years, doesn't make one notable.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 19:04, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy No claim of notability --malathion talk 19:06, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * But it isn't vanity! It's a kind of weird tribute.  I am Sam Korn...   [[smoddy ]] 19:07, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No, I am Sam Korn, smoddy is an imposter! Fernando Rizo T/C 19:20, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't someone be saying "I am Sam Korn, and so is my wife!" at this point?   &mdash; J I P | Talk 19:38, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The real Sam Korn died in 1987, he did among other a lot of work on the Ebola Monkey theory — Preceding unsigned comment added by AtuinDK (talk • contribs) July 30, 2005 19:25 UTC


 * Delete, possibly Speedy: Joke page. --Ragib 19:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete along with User:Smoddy ;) -- Joolz 19:52, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Do you really need another delete vote, or has consensus been reached? Ah well, delete, per your wishes. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 20:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If Smoddy wants it deleted, who are we to argue? Delete. (And he's obviously never seen me play cricket if he thinks it's not an extreme sport :) Grutness...  wha?  01:28, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * And you've evidently never seen me play if you think it is!  [[smoddy ]] 10:57, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but you're a good guy, Smoddy. :) -- Etacar11   03:03, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, speedily if possible. --Angr/undefined 07:41, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I suppose we can keep Smoddy if he promises to live up to the expectations of his fans. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 13:40, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I promise. How could I not, after a tribute so touching? *sniff*  [[smoddy ]] 13:47, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete (how many votes does it take to actually implement this obvious decision?) ZephyrAnycon 18:58, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete! (note to above: things will very rarely be deleted once they've arrived here for a formal VfD) --Vamp:Willow 19:17, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikinews. The world must know about the latest extreme sports/language prodigy! :P Ryan 20:48, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the article, and draw and quarter smoddy. ; - ) -- Essjay ·  Talk 07:19, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
