Tashiro Festival


User Hatto created this page because he isn't happy with the current amount of space dedicated to this "phenomena" (as he choses to call it) on the original Masashi Tashiro page. This "phenomenon" is hardly notable enough to warrant its own article and merging it would be pointless (as everything in this article is information that other editors removed from the original article).

 * Strongly keep, It's my freedom whether I write this article or not. Although Mackan isn't an administrator, he keeps on interfering with me. He should have no need to do it with me! I'm extremely annoying that he says to me guideline, guideline, guideline! and deletes unnecessary sentence to himself at any times. A person like him may be hated because he dogmatically deletes the sentence that he can't accept. Freedom and right to create the articles must be secured for everybody. I don't think what he does is correct. Actually, I think I'd like to expand Tashiro's article without being interfered by him but I have trouble because he keeps watch over me. By the way, Tashiro Festival is frequently used on 2channel. When I wrote about Tashiro Festival on Masashi Tashiro's article, I created this as an independent article because Mackan deleted the description about Tashiro Festival and I was unpleasant to be done it by him. I'll ABSOLUTELY beat his eccentric nomination for deletion! --Hatto 07:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The substance of this article is already covered at Masashi Tashiro. As a remote second choice, if the name "Tashiro Festival" is that important, then turn Tashiro Festival into a redirect and add the following sentence to Masashi Tashiro: "The nomination of Tashiro for Person of the Year is sometimes called Tashiro Festival." --Metropolitan90 07:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, if Mackan wants to delete this article, he lets me write the perfectly same sentence as this on Masashi Tashiro's article. Being deleted is OK for me if he do it but I want to keep this article if he doesn't do it. --Hatto 07:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, Hatto. Don't create new articles to try and "blackmail" other users into accepting your edits. Mackan 13:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Metropolitan. Looks like a classic POV fork (although more trivial and harmless than most).  Also looks fairly non-notable. Hatto, we have guidelines for a reason.  Mackan, do try to remember WP:BITE; Hatto sounds like he's feeling bitten.  One or both of you might want to look into WP:MEDCAB or WP:3O.  Xtifr tälk 10:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Hatto is not a newcomer and he keeps on causing troblems refusing to listen to other users, people have been very lenient to him but it didn't get anywhere. I've tried and debate with him but he ignores/deletes my messages. See his request for comments (link on his talk page). Mackan 13:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not the place for that discussion (nor was I volunteering to get involved). Disputes should be resolved through dispute resolution, not on AfDs.  Xtifr tälk 14:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I'm not surely a newcomer but is feeling bitten. I could purely edit Tashiro's article until I was attacked by Mackan. I assume a strong attitude for him daringly, and I think I have no need to talk with a xxxxing terrorist like him because I'm getting so angry to him. Though I just wanted to describe about Tashiro Festival on Masashi Tashiro's article, I was made to shorten a description about it in Tashiro's "Trivia" section by his wish. Originally a description about Tashiro Festival is not written in the section of "Trivia" and the description was written in the section called "Provisional winner of Time Magazine's Person of the Year poll in 2001". (See ) I made this section and write about Tashiro Festival because I thought that festival was important but he shortened a description about it and moved it to "Trivia" section because he thought it was not important. I, therefore, can't accept all his sense of values. --Hatto 15:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Still not the place for this! But however long you've been here, I have to assume you're a newbie, because every other explanation of your behavior that I can come up with is a violation of WP:AGF.  Xtifr tälk 22:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge into 2channel. --- RockMFR 20:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Objectively, although this event is real, and verifiable, and likely notable, it is best covered in the article on Tashiro, and perhaps an article on Time person of the year. A redirect would be fine only if there is good evidence that this not-obvious name is most often used to describe this Time voting event.  This is asserted but I dont's see the evidence.Obina 20:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable neologism. "Festival" my foot: It's as bad as sockpuppetry. Ohconfucius 06:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Definitely not notable enough for an article - this sort of thing is not particularly unusual (see, for example, the article on Lowtax for a similar stunt pulled by Something Awful forum members). As well as the trivia section of Tashiro's article, the event is also mentioned on the page about 2channel. Ironfrost 17:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
