TICK A BOX World Tour
Article about a bunch of friends going on vacation. Totally nonnotable and also OR and unverifiable. NawlinWiki 12:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Open your eyes. This is not about a few friends going on vacation. This is about a movement, an idea, a concept. It may start with a few people. But like every movement, it has to start somewhere. Word is spreading, and it is already growing. People have started to show an interest in getting out there and doing some worthwhile things in their lifetimes.

This is designed to motivate normal everyday people. People who are stuck in a rut. People who are bored in their mundane lives. For instance several million overweight americans who don't even have passports, have never even seen the next door state, and couldn't tell you where Iraq, Vietnam, Germany or Japan are on a map, despite their contribution to the last hundred years of world history.

Because at the end of the day, if people in the world slowly but surely do something more with their lives, and experience other cultures, and see what the rest of the world is all about, then maybe, just maybe, they might be more tolerant of the rest of the world. They might open their minds, and have less aggression towards the unknown. Is that such a bad thing?

I understand you might not be able to see the bigger picture now, but why don't you just give it a chance to grow? --- The above several paragraphs were left unsigned and are from

 * Delete I hate voting to delete this, due to the obviously terrible impact it will have to world cultural understanding, and it may even indirectly start World War III. But it's unreferenced and not verifiable. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Vanity article for unremarkable group. Maybe even Speedy Delete. dryguy 13:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:SPAM. No matter what your goals are, you are violating Wikipedia policies for personal gain. Wikipedia is not free ad space. You claim it may grow from this. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Wikipedia is also neither a search engine nor a web directory. It is neither a primary nor a secondary source of information. 'Random article' notwithstanding, people are not likely to come to Wikipedia looking for something like this. --DarkAudit 14:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Googling "tick a box world tour" gets zero hits. Maybe the band of friends should start a blog and see if their movement, idea, concept actually does grow. BuckRose 15:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Destroy, fails WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NOT a free webhost. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 16:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Super Double-strong Delete, despite heartfelt plea for us all to join hands and wish this into existence. It's not a horrible idea, just one that needs to be floated elsewhere. --Pagana 19:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - If your world tour is gaining popularity, as you say, it won't be long before there are reliable sources reporting on it. Give it a little time; when it's notable and verifiable, I'm sure this article will be recreated.  In the mean time, your idea can grow on a blog - or you can even create your own free website at Freeservers.com.  However, as of right now, your world tour is not notable or verifiable.

 * Delete. Wikipedia is not the place to start a movement, if that's even what it is. Travislangley 21:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Let the TICK A BOX World Tour be an inspiration to you. Because like you, the TICK A BOX World Tourists are just normal people; with jobs, mortgages and phone bills. It takes just a little focus and determination to accomplish your dreams This section truly moved me, and I will now set out to accomplish one of my dreams. Delete. -- Daduzi  talk  23:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. -- Kinu t /c  23:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
