Wisconsin Fleece Hall of Fame

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

Article exists as a POV way to bash the failed sports figures in the U.S. state Wisconsin. This is the fourth time that the original research article has been posted to Wikipedia. Google shows the term exists only on Wikipedia. There are lots of links to different Wikipedia articles from these attempts. All these other recreations have led to speedy deletes. This time we need to salt it so it can't be recreated.  Royal broil  20:02, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no reliable sources.  Little Red Riding Hood  talk  20:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt term itself isn't notable and the article has NPOV issues, as the sole purpose is to kick dead horses.   D ENNIS B ROWN  (T) (C) 22:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What are your thoughts on salting it knowing that it keeps getting recreated? I ask everyone to comment on whether or not it should get salted.  Royal broil  00:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Salting should only used as a last resort when an article has already been shown to have a tendency to be recreated multiple times, lest we violate WP:AGF.  The logs show this has already been deleted 3 times in 6 weeks, so salting seems appropriate this 4th time.  I changed my vote above by simply adding "and salt".

 * Delete  Article has been deleted 3 times already, including two times within the current month.  I would recommend salting it as well.  I see no notability here. Fraud  talk to me  02:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt — I can tell you, being from Wisconsin, I haven't even heard of this, nor could I find anything all that would be considered significant coverage. Creation-protect the article, as this has already been deleted three times within the past month. MuZemike  ( talk ) 04:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt A comedic term invented by the third rated sports radio station in Milwaukee (25th out of 30th overall) is not notable by any means. Not only that, the non-WSSP sources don't even use the fleece term in the articles at all.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 09:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The article strucks myself as to being mean-spirited towards living persons thus violating Wikipedia's concerns about writing living people. I agree with RoyalBroil about the article.Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Response Considering that Shawn Respert might get an exception based on an "Although Unlikely Exception for Cancer", WP:BLP fits like a glove in this case. I wish this could go speedy as an attack page myself, but we have to go through the five day process.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 12:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Although I'm sure that the author is a regular caller on WSSP's "The Big Show", nobody wants to read his personal opinion about who belongs on the station's list of athletes. Mandsford (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete and Salt per A7, G4 and WP:SNOW If this has really been deleted three times already then we're not communicating our community expectations to the author. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 20:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * G4 doesn't apply, as it wasn't previously deleted via AfD.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh crap you're right, I haven't G4 tagged anything in awhile. Looks like it was speedied for A7 anyway. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 05:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
