User:Daniel Quinlan/gaming

It's a guide to gaming the system and POV pushing. As such, destructive to the 'pedia, and inappropriate in userspace. >Radiant< 15:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete There are few constructive tips, but they are strewn among evil. Xoloz 17:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • If you think any of the tips are constructive... think again... all of them are quite exquisitly insiduous. :-) Kim Bruning 14:21, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete, destructive nonsense. Crotalus horridus ( TALK • CONTRIBS) 17:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete per all above. xaosflux ^Talk/ _CVU 20:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• If consensus decides this is humor, then I'd change from delete to BJAODN. xaosflux ^Talk/ _CVU 06:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Neutral. Not great content, but aren't user pages supposed to be left alone? — Rebelguys2 ^talk 22:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Never mind, read the policy. Delete. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 22:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep - obvious parody. -- Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 23:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral - Well, it might be a parody, but it's not funny at all. -- Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 02:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete smacks of WP:POINT to me.   ALKIVAR ™ 05:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete and optionally block User:Daniel Quinlan for 45 seconds for trivial policy violations. Stifle 16:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete um...maybe it's satire...hopefully.-- MONGO 04:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Just delete the fucking thing - why the hell are people still arguing over this? Any admin can speedy this garbage for what it is. Rob Church ( talk) 13:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Keep, duh. "published exploits, patch to follow". ;-) Need this kind of documentation to figure out what's working and what's not. If can't keep, copy to my userspace. (Wait! It's already IN userspace... make that a speedy keep then) Kim Bruning 14:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Inspired by this, to an extent: Wikipedia:Adminitis
• Keep, it got a laugh out of me. It's obvious, if one looks at Daniel Quinlan's history, that this is a parody / "ha ha only serious" critique of a behaviour we put up with much too much. And userspace IS where one makes a point, if one wishes. — Matthew Brown ( T: C) 14:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep because this is a page against userboxen and all pages against userboxen are undeleteable Harmless parody in userspace, doesn't single out any undeserving group of editors, isn't divisive, is reasonably witty. Physchim62 (talk) 14:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Strong Keep get out of user space.  Grue  14:27, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep: Good grief. You guys arguing for deletion need to get your humor chips checked for error :) -- Durin 14:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep, maybe even give a spot on meta if they'll let us. It's funny, dudes ... fuddlemark ( fuddle me!) 14:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • There's something similar at m:How to win an argument -- Durin 16:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep, no one should delete this fine example of wikipedia meta-humor, to do so would be a crime, a crime against the wiki. Babajobu 15:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep; it's obviously satire. Johnleemk | Talk 15:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep, reasonable use of userspace; harmless. Chick Bowen 18:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep, obvious parody. -- cesarb 01:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Remember, security by obscurity doesn't work. Ask your WikiDoctor about Adminitis - David Gerard 01:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep. I have half a mind to start linking to it on my welcome messages. - Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 08:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Weak Keep While the content might not be "honourable", interference in the user pages is a "worse" crime. -- ^Evanx( tag?) 09:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC) reply
