This Youtube celebrity's stub was created with full assertation of notability stating "His videos have attracted 1.19 million views, plus over 23,000 subscribers." This article was fully referenced by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Within one minute of the stub's creation, user:ScorpO speedy deleted it. The user stated on my talk page: "As much attention as renetto may gain on youtube I do not feel he is notable enough to have an article about him." This article was in no way proper criteria for speedy deletion and the reason the user gave for the deletion was purely WP:IDONTLIKEIT. --Oakshade 02:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong, I have subscribed to renetto's videos on youtube. As great a youtuber as he is he just isn't notable. ScorpO 02:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The article on this song was speedy-deleted by an admin with the comment "article that makes no claim to significance of its (not yet existent) subject)". This song was listed by Rolling Stone magazine in the 100 best songs of 2006; additionally the subject of this article does exist, so the deleting admin was in error as to that.

• Overturn, yet another invalid speedy. Songs aren't speedyable via A7. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
• comment, so wait, if a band is speedied by A7, and they have say 10 song articles, do they have to go through AFD? —— Eagle101 03:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The reason that this particular page should not be deleted is fairly simple. A proper definition was used, but the citation was forgotten. Also by having this undeleted you are letting the people involved remeber the memories that were made. It may seem like a childish thing but this where I and many others have made life long friends. Most of the people involved had this special sort of bond that can never be recreated. It was something that does seem adolecent but is far from it. The deeper bonds that were established is the true purpose of having a proper online documentation of it. I hope that you reconsider. If the page is not to be undeleted some reasons and possible suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• Which articles? I'm not seeing anything in the logs. --Coredesat 01:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Endorse deletion now that I've seen the deleted article. Looks to be a gathering of a few high school friends, which would make this a valid A7 (group). The article itself is almost a journal of the things that happened in these gatherings, such as things that "seemed like season 1 of the OC" and someone losing his pants. --Coredesat 01:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
    • In that case, endorse a valid A7. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
• What are they? --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
