Water expander
Unverifiable, one Google hit for "'water expander' trick". Borderline nonsense. Deprodded by original contributor. Accurizer 02:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete."I would like to know how it works, this information would be very helpful to many others. Please edit this page if you know anything about it." Uh, no. Wikipedia is not a message board. Daniel Case 02:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - this isn't an article at all. Whpq 02:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, utter nonsense.-- Andeh 02:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This article is not patent nonsense. Please do not abuse the speedy deletion criteria. Uncle G 07:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hoaxes: Articles that present unverifiable and probably false ideas, theories, or subjects. Occasionally these can be deleted as vandalism if the article is obviously ridiculous, but remotely plausible articles should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum., meaning an admin may speedy it at their discretion as it's so ridiculous.-- Andeh 13:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This article does not present a probably false subject. It clearly asks about a water expander trick.  That such a mechanism is a trick is probably true. Uncle G 11:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete it, now. Terrible, pointless article.Worthlessboy1420 02:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  02:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Daniel Case and others -Elmer Clark 04:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. VegaDark 04:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete it seems that someone has mistaken Wikipedia for Google Answers. --dtony 05:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not abuse the speedy deletion criteria. No speedy deletion criterion covers this article. The closest is "no content", but there is a sub-stub in the first sentence of the article. Uncle G 07:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Serves no purpose. Not really an article. --Hhamdy283 05:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The text does little more than ask editors for more information on the subject. This is not an article.  This is an entry on Requested articles. Delete. Uncle G 07:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's an entry that should go unfulfilled, moreover. I've looked, and cannot find any evidence that any such trick, magic or otherwise, actually exists.  The nearest that I've come is an unanswered Usenet post from 1999 that simply makes the same request for any information that was made in this article. Uncle G 12:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Heimstern Läufer 08:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as the original prodder - just plain stupid, without sufficient context. Not patently nonsensical enough to speedy, though. Ruaraidh-dobson 15:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies: My computer was being screwy and I couldn't make a request, so I created the article. I have requested it now, though. Thanks! Can-Dutch 20:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
