Revision as of 20:12, 27 September 2006
PROD Warning
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Fish tank clan, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Fish tank clan. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- Thank you for your response on my talk page. If you wish to reply again, please do so in a civil manner. I am afraid that personal attacks will not get you anywhere here at Misplaced Pages. To your actual grievance: I have PRODed your page. That means that, if no-one objects, it will be deleted in five days' time. Therefore first of all you have five days to improve it. You have now removed the PROD tag, so it will now not be deleted automatically. I have, however, nominated it for articles for deletion. This is a process whereby a consensus is gathered amongst all interested parties (including, if you wish, yourself) about what to do to the page. If you wish to contribute, please do make a comment at this page. I am sorry that your first experiences here at Misplaced Pages have not been entirely positive, but please do continue to edit here, and if you ever need any help about anything, do not hesisate to contact me. Happy editing. Batmanand | Talk 10:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Can I suggest that, instead of trying to convince me about the notability of your clan, go to the deletion debate and argue it out there? Thanks Batmanand | Talk 11:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)- Sorry: you are absolutely right. I just assumed that it was from you. And, as Jack Crawford is so fond of saying, "ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME". Batmanand | Talk 11:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Personal attacks
Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. I don't appreciate being called a Nazi.

- Just to reinforce this what NawlinWiki said, please calm down and act in a civilized manner. We are building an encyclopedia here. That means we have certain rules about what content is suitable and what is not. If you want to create nonsense articles, please use the uncyclopedia or any one of a number of free web hosting services available to you. Making personal attacks on other editors is not permitted here and if you continue you will be blocked from editing. Thanks, Gwernol 19:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- So explain how describing people as "uptight assholes" is not a personal attack? Its commenting on the person, not their contribution. Please read WP:NPA which is the policy that defines what a personal attack is. You have to stop or I will block you to prevent further instances.
- An encyclopedia is a collection of knowledge that is notable. Your article is about a gaming clan that hasn't achieved notability. Please read our guidelines on notability. We also require all information in articles to be verifiable. In order to meet this requirement, information has to be supported by reliable sources. Unfortunately none of the information in your article was verifiable, so it cannot be included in the encyclopedia. I suggest you find a free web host for your article. Thanks, Gwernol 20:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Again, please actually read Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines. Simply asserting that your clan is important to you is not the same as providing reliable sources that it is notable in the Misplaced Pages sense. No-one is being close minded here, we are trying to help you distinguish between an encyclopedia and a web host. They are not the same thing, at all. Gwernol 20:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Reliable sources
The fact that you cannot provide reliable sources that discuss the Fish Tank Clan is exactly the reason it cannot be included on Misplaced Pages. We don't let people write about unsourced and unverifiable material, otherwise there would be no way of telling what was true. To quote from the verifiability policy: "the criteria for inclusion on Misplaced Pages is verifiability not truth". This is one of our core principles. Since your article cannot meet this criteria, it cannot be included. Again, there are plenty of places your article can be included, Misplaced Pages is just not one of them.
