A story from the early days of the web


The story told here simply isn't true. Jimbo thinks it is, but in my opinion, he's wrong. I'm nominating this for deletion as a way of requesting the community to weigh in. If the community disagrees (or if xfd isn't the appropriate way to do that), it will fail, and I'll accept that outcome. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 12:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * speedy keep there is no reasoning given that is reason to delete. The essay was Jimbo's response to the nominator, so there is also some issues with that. -Cerejota (talk) 12:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator's stated reason for this deletion request is self-serving, and no valid deletion argument is made. Deli nk (talk) 13:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - No valid reason for deletion given. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per most of the comments above. Disagreement with factual content in an essay could warrant deletion only in a clear-cut, serious, exceptional case. However, consider userfying; the nature of the content may make it better suited for userspace than Wikipedia space. Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Snowball keep. No rationale offered for deleting this innocuous essay. ScottyBerg (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
