Web speed dating

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

As the article is currently written, it is only a dictionary definition. After a little Google searching, this practice does not seem to have enough coverage to be considered prevalent enough or notable enough to merit an aricle at this time. Perhaps a redirect to and inclusion in Online dating service would be appropriate. Nick—Contact/Contribs 03:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete not an article, just a place to park an external link. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as an ad. Themfromspace (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete (not speedy) Even though there appears to be trivial media coverage of this term, I don't think it sufficient to write an encyclopedia article about it; it would be impossible to expand the article beyond a dictionary definition. -Atmoz (talk) 19:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. This was my first entry but have been a long time user of Wikipedia and love it. I now know I clearly should have been in the sandbox figuring how this works. I admit I was trying a couple of things and linked to a test page to see how it worked. I was a little stunned at the speed of the notice of it. I thought I had a day or so, but the assumption was my issue. Nick was kind enough to suggest that I post this directly for your consideration.

I came back yesterday today to revise the original stake in the ground post to a more appropriate entry and do some further research to tie the term into the social ramifications of such. I did a brief revision and would like to continue to extend if that is acceptable. I believe this ties in directly to many sociological structures and will have produce a swift and significant effect on such an age old practice and participants. To me that makes it relevant and worth exploring and in the end will hopefully produce important considerations for others.

What this means both socially and technically as a part of the overall evolution and integration of the web remains to be seen. Still, there are many evolutions going on that produce trends. Often, starting at the beginning to delineate such a trend when the technical barriers just begin to drop often produces the greatest results.

Let me know if this is still lacking for a starting point or if something else needs to be changed. And feel encouraged to suggest how I might make this topic align with the way of Wikipedia. It is merely my first attempt and I hope to have many more as a part of my own evolution as I am swept along by tech.

Again, I apologize for the clumsy nature of my introduction to being a contributor. I should have known better. I look forward to proving the worth of this topic.

Hope this approach is acceptable.

Thanks,

 * Speedy Delete - absolutely nothing useful (sources), just not notable. Only an ad. Versus22 talk 21:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism, or at best merge with speed dating. -- samj in out 17:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - OK. I didn't see a surrender mark so I will pick delete as my tag. I'm new and clearly this is off the mark. I would be happy to delete it myself or let it roll off. Just don't want to step on my own foot again. I will think about moving it to one of the suggested larger categories after I learn a bit more. Thanks and sorry again for the disruption, Madkin (talk) 00:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
