I created the article today, and I know the article has been recreated and deleted many times, and I know Jeffree Star is controversial. I'm not saying all administrators endorse censorship on Misplaced Pages, but I'm sure there's some administrators who know who Jeffree Star is. Star is a celebrity with a mainly teenage fan base (that is also outside of ], Star is alwo working on a ] like many sources say), known for being a ] and obscense song lyrics, though I don't think that should be the reason for deletion. There's probably a few administrators and editors who think Misplaced Pages should be censored. |

If you don't like the writing of the article, you can always edit it and add on to it instead of putting it up for speedy deletion. I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't check for mistakes at first and didn't add on to it right away. --''']''' - ] 00:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

I created the article a couple days ago, but I don't really know anything about Limecat—the reason I looked here to begin with was to learn more about the image (its author, its origin, who that adorable cat is, etc.), as I so often do on Misplaced Pages. Another user pointed out to me that the article had been deleted before. I never saw the old version, but I looked at the deletion debate and added sources specifically to address the concerns raised therein. Then today, I came back to see if anyone had contributed further information to the article, but was disappointed to see that ] had simply deleted my work altogether. :-( |
|
|
|
|

Could the article be restored so it can undergo the same vetting as the older version (which I never saw)? I believe the sources in mine, as described on the talk page, meet the criteria in ]. If there's disagreement on that point, it's certainly up for debate, IMO. Thanks. ] 21:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

Maybe it's a curiosity, even a fairly obscure one, but Misplaced Pages excels at providing information on obscure curiosities, and it's the first place I look for information on these things.

This is a nomination based on a strong objection to the procedure used. ] says quite clearly "Speedy delete, Speedy or CSD mean that the user thinks the article qualifies for one of the narrow speedy deletion criteria. If there are no objections, the deletion discussion may be closed early. If the decision is contested, the AFD discussion continues." According to this, the AFD discussion should have continued. Not only did I object to the speedy on that AFD discussion, but also someone had already moved the speedy tag on the article itself, done it again after another speedy was added the same day by a different person, and had removed a prod tag on the same article. Furthermore, the prod tag should never have been there in the first place, because ] says "For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion (for deletions likely to meet no opposition)". Obviously, if the speedy tag has been added and removed, it is '''not''' a deletion likely to meet no opposition". Therefore, you need to go to the next clause, "or Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion (for potentially controversial deletions)." ] 14:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

:Note also that when the prod tag was on there earlier today (perhaps yesterday on your clock), notice was given of a five day period for corrective action to be taken.

I'm not sure whether I get a say as the user who nominated the article for deletion, but if so, here 'tis: I don't subscribe to the view that the removal of a speedy or prod tag without any addition of matter to assert/prove notability is "opposition" to deletion in any sense other than the panic felt by a user on seeing that "their article" is up for deletion. Thus, when the CSD tag I'd put on this in the first place was removed, I didn't view it as a controversial deletion which immediately had to appear at AfD - prodding it seemed like a sensible halfway house to allow anyone to make the player more notable than he was at the time. Of course, when a prod is removed (as this one was), there's nowhere else a non-notable article ''can'' go other than AfD. My advocation of someone "slapping a Speedy on it" meant that I was rather hoping an admin would see the listing, realise that this was a clear CSD A7 in spite of that tag not sticking and close the discussion early - I'm not a fan of AfDs hanging around like a bad smell when the subject is patently not notable, and I doubt that anyone else much is either. I accept that I didn't necessarily follow process to the letter in what I did, but surely this is a case of ] (or ] if you prefer) rather than sticking to the rules and (as ] puts it above) "tak two weeks and five different processes to remove an A7 speedy". I certainly reject any notion that I wasn't "playing by the rules" in trying to speed the inevitable deletion of an article. ] - ] (]) 00:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

This was deleted as unnotable on ], ]. George Allen Smith was a passenger on ]'s '']'' when he went overboard in ] in the ] while near ]. |

His story was highlighted during an episode of ] on ], ]. His case can be found on the CBS.com website transcript . In addition, Royal Caribbean keeps a separate news archive on his disappearance .

*'''Comment''' As the person who originally nominated this article for deletion, I want to emphasize that the sensationalistic media coverage - including a highlight of the case on '']'' on ] - was not only noted in the afd discussion, but was actually the <u>main issue</u> of the discussion. Here's . We also noted that the case was a public relations problem for the cruise line. In the view of the delete voters, media coverage does not automatically equal encyclopedic notability - particularly if the victim lacked the renown or infamy needed to pass ], and if the news media was primarily interested in this case for its sensationalistic aspects. The CBS transcript linked above is mainly about another cruise line death (a woman), and the story about George Allen Smith is used as a secondary story for a minor segment of the show. I don't see how this adds much to the media coverage discussion in the first afd. Given that the Smith case was a PR problem for the cruise line, I don't see how the documents on the cruise line website add much either - is every PR crisis damage control exercise for every corporation encyclopedically notable? In the afd discussion, delete voters noted that there was nothing much to distinguish the subject from thousands of other ordinary murder or disappearance victims, except that the case had trivial aspects (it happened on a cruiseline, which reminds viewers/readers of an ] murder mystery or perhaps an exciting CSI episode; it happened on a honeymoon, which has "shock/sympathy" value for viewers/readers). But, as the CBS story concludes about the woman victim it focusses on, - the same goes for George Allen Smith. ] 03:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

If I recall right, this article not only was on Misplaced Pages for a long time but had contributions from many active Wikipedians.

The page might even have been vandalized right before deletion, meaning the request for speedy deletion was done in ], but as the admin refuses to comment on this, I have no other choice but to bring the matter here.

::The article did have claims of notability. One band member was mentioned to be in ]. 15-year-long career, 11 recordings and 4 full-length albums, as shown in the discography section, can also be seen as an assertion of notability, at least enough not to be speedy deleted, especially if Google confirms the information, the subject is controversial and the article has been on Misplaced Pages for a long time. ] 09:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |
