User:Lalacourtney/The hicks
Wikipedia is not free webhosting or promotional media - this article was deleted from mainspace but userspace now seems to being used for promotional activities - see http://s1.webstarts.com/thehicks/links.html. I find it *deeply* unlikely that the editors on this page are unconnected with the owners of that site. Cameron Scott (talk) 21:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC) (Lalacourtney (talk))
 * Excessively promotional. Delete, or preferably would User:Lalacourtney please blank it.  Maybe it could stay if intended to be developed into a proper article, but see WP:NOTPLOT, WP:WAF, and note that promotional external links are very unlikely to be tolerated in the absence of any reliable third party sources.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Blatant promotion. Speedy delete WP:CSD.  No chance whatsoever of becoming a mainspace article.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * How can i make it a proper article??? i also deleted the wikipedia link off the site http://s1.webstarts.com/thehicks/links.html.
 * Sorry, I don't think you can. You have to start with a notable subject.  I think you are trying to promote your web movie.  See WP:WEB.  You have to wait until some  reputable independent source writes about the subject before we cover it on Wikipedia.  We are very sensitive about Wikipedia being used for promotion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:12, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This has been in article space twice and speedy deleted twice due to lack of notability. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable enough to be an article (Wikipedia's servers would've crashed already if every single YouTube show got their article), and Wikipedia is not the place for hosting scoreboards or other progress information about them either. Kotiwalo (talk) 15:48, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I actually watched the episode and it isn't a regular stupid YouTube video. This is much like The Suburbs (web series) and Wikipedia kept that. (User:MichaelBayno1)

 * WP:AADD. "I like it" isn't quite enough. Kotiwalo (talk) 05:59, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. User:MichaelBayno1 is right. This isn't just a stupid low grade Youtube video, its something special and the article is close enough to be good, we can edit to make it Wikipedia material. (User:kikimarielee)

 * Delete. It's not nearly notable enough for an article.  I'd also like to point out that both of the "keep" votes above mine are from users whose histories reveal edits to no other pages.  And an addendum to WTWAG?'s comment: I count at least six attempts to create an article for this show, under three different names ("The hicks", "The Hicks", and "The Hicks (web series)").  In each case the articles have been deleted for notability issues.  Might I also suggest some page salting? --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 00:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, salting specific character strings in userspace may just start a new game. Lets just be clear.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, no, not in userspace - I was thinking more about the previously-created ones in articlespace. (This may be why I'm not an administrator. :-) )--User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 00:24, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is neither a free web host or a venue for self promotion. MER-C 03:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No chance in the article namespace in the foreseeable future. Basically promotion. Gigs (talk) 15:02, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have indef-blocked User:Lalacourtney and the two obvious sockpuppets.--Aervanath (talk) 17:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
