Josh Hough is a public figure within the city of Redlands California. He has become an almost iconic role model to many of the young children and teen thhroughout the city. I believe it to be indicitave to the citizens of Redlands that you allow a page to be made on Mr. Hough. I occasionaly hear conversations on the background of Josh Hough and i think it would very beneficial to have a page on wikipedia in which many of the key event of Josh Hough's life are stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Motrcolt ( talk • contribs) 01:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Yet another Bulletin Board was started in 2000 by a 16-year old. It served as the first flat file, non-threaded, free, and open-source bulletin board / forum system ever. It was also one of the few openly developed projects by team members from around the world at the time. It is written in the Perl language and is still being developed today. Developers of YaBB have gone on to found and develop Ikonboard, Invision Power Board, E-Blah, and Simple Machines Forum. For its first couple years, it was the most used forum system out. It is referenced in several books and in many interviews of software companies and developers, many whom worked with YaBB in the past. It was essentially the grandfather of most forums out today and is still a large competitor. It has a rightful place in history due to these reasons and is well known by name in the Internet website world. YaBB had an article on Wikipedia for many years. It was unjustifiably deleted by Wikipedia in February 2010 for incorrect facts and biased promotional opinions of the editors. The article was painstakingly recreated this week. An editor on Wikipedia essentially attacked me this week by referring me to the apparent deletion review process then removing all of my arguments, marking the article as spam, reverting hours of work I spent on updating the article for no reason, then marking it for speedy deletion. I discussed this with him and was told my arguments for keeping it were invalid. He also stated the article was promotional in nature, when in fact it was written in a very historical manner (I'm not sure how the originally deleted article was written but it was no more historical than the new). After I and others replied on the discussion page to explain why it should not be removed, all of these discussions were completely deleted. The old discussions which were on the incorrectly spelled "Yabb" page were then moved from there to the deletion discussion on the newly created "YaBB" page. I also explained to him that many other competing software such as Ikonboard, Invision Power Board, ProBoards and Simple Machines Forum also have Wikipedia articles and are much more promotional than YaBB's was. The newly created article had a long section of history, which was most of the article, links to interviews of other software founders that came from and/or referred to YaBB, links to many external reference sites, and links to books.

Astroturfed with SPA or Close to SPA being part of a suspected Meat Puppet ring . While the usuals at AFD seem to have a consensus that it was not notable. We have the discussed it with Sandstein on her talk page and (s)he has stood by it.

Overturn and Delete Umm... Sandstein? Really? Blatantly clear that at least two of the people (Dallas hero1989 and Salamaat) who voted for keep are meatpuppets. Ret.Prof is a POV pusher, also not a good thing to listen to. Get rid of the article. It is shameful too. As someone who follows the conflict closely, (and firmly blames the British for at least the beginning of the Israel-Palestine conflict) I am especially upset, as these types of WP:COATRACK crackpot books and the shameful behavior of the meaties Dallas hero1989 and Salamaat are hurting, rather than helping, coverage and hopeful resolution of a key issue in world politics. For the record, I am pro-Israel, so my delete vote has nothing to do with the conflict and everything to do with the book and/or the Wikipedia article being a total joke.

AFD was closed as Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER. However, it would seem that the sources in the article were indeed sufficient for an article despite the lack of a working title; furthermore, the pilot has been approved. Another user asked on my talk page if I would reconsider, and I didn't notice his post so I didn't have time to do so. I think that the Collider.com source I provided makes a good argument for this being undeleted. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ( Otters want attention) 00:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
