Hello!
Letter To America
Letter To America has been proposed for deletion. An editor Awesimo 00:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC) felt this website might not yet be notable enough for an article. Please review Misplaced Pages:Notability (websites) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Misplaced Pages guidelines, it may be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion for consensus. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- My opinion is that Letter To America is indeed notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article based upon the size of its audience (you can check the Frappr map on the "LTA website", nomination and competition in several high-profile blog competitions such as the Irish Blog Awards, and notoriety of its creator, Jett Loe. In short, I think LTA has earned its place and is continuing to grow. FlyingToaster 07:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

SIGBOVIK
As much as I want SIGBOVIK to live a thousand years, as its only mentions come from Livejournals at the moment, do you think that section should perhaps be removed until there is some attributable source for the conference? In my opinion it would make sense to leave it in the links at the bottom... Sirmob 06:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Sirmob - I did attribute the "SIGBOVIK website" in the article. I'll assume you didn't see it, but if you did and don't feel this is enough please let me know. FlyingToaster 03:50, 2 April 2007
- That's a self reference, obviously, even though I think I think it is reasonable to get away with leaving that link under external links. I gave a talk at SIGBOVIK today, it's not like I want to delete the information, but I think having the section on SIGBOVIK risks the page being deleted, which I also wouldn't want. And I suppose this is pretty close to a thing we made up in grad school one day, at least this time around :). Sirmob 07:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed it is self-reference, and for SIGBOVIK I doubt anything better will surface. So, I'll leave it up to you whether to get rid of it or not. The sentence or two seems innocent enough, but if you feel it's approaching thing we made up in grad school one day deleteable level, please feel free to get rid of it. :) FlyingToaster 07:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I sentence-ified the link reference at the end - and don't be so sure that "nothing better will surface," if we keep this up multiple years I suspect people will take note. And failing that, I suppose we could just talk to someone at The Tartan ;-) Sirmob 13:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Re: HOMOSEXUALS ARE GAY
I cannot tell you how embarassed I am about reverting the page back to its vandalized state. I have just been through a similar situation with another editor, and clearly need to be more careful about which versions I revert. My best guess as to what happened is either 1) both 68.50.239.168 and I tried to correct the article at the same time, or 2) I saw that the edit summary for user 68.50.239.168 was described as "HOMOSEXUALS ARE GAY," I assumed that they had been the one commiting the vandalism, instead of correcting it. Though you probably already know this, it was as far as I can tell, anonymous user 58.165.154.122 who originally renamed that section. Either way, I'm very sorry for my carelessness, hope you forgive me, and thank you for correcting my mistake and bringing it to my attention. :) --Friginator 03:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- No worries mate, I've done that plenty in the past. :) I should've known something was up, your talk page clearly isn't that of a vandal. Happy editing to you. -FlyingToaster (talk) 03:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Romes Begining
This article may be badly written, starting with the spelling and punctuation of the title, and may duplicate material in Rome, but how is it "unsalvageably incoherent with no meaningful content or history; it is patent nonsense." as your CSD states? CSD G1 does not cover "poor writing." Is there another basis for deletion? Thanks Edison (talk) 04:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Edison - I'd say even with the spelling problems, this article is entirely a duplicate of the Rome article, which has an extensive section on its founding and the legend behind it. -FlyingToaster (talk) 04:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
johnny drama chase
dude, listen the ip address vandalized that PAGE. The johnny drama chase character is based off of Mark Wahlberg's cousin as stated in various interviews by him, Doug Ellin (creator of Entourage) and they show him Johnny Drama Alves the inspiration on the season 1 and season 2 extras.Tj21 (talk) 05:24, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- No problem mate, sorry about the mixup. -FlyingToaster (talk) 05:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- its gets even the best of us at times. Tj21 (talk) 05:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
David Popescu
I just can't believe it got into the paper in Edmonton. Well, that and until I went to add it I didn't even realize that we had a standalone article on him rather than one blurb in a Sudbury municipal election article (though with the way User:CJCurrie's been beefing up the Sudbury municipal politics articles lately, I should have known...) Bearcat (talk) 23:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sensationalist news does better than it should or the subject deserves, I guess. I'm not even in Canada and nor following the Canadian election and this article was delivered to me via Digg. -FlyingToaster (talk) 23:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nah, I could totally believe this kind of thing getting international press if it happened in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver. It just surprises me to see this kind of attention being focused on something that happened in Sudbury. For what it's worth, though, the guy already had the kind of reputation in Sudbury that even if all of the other candidates were killed by falling satellites tomorrow and he were the only name left on the ballot, he'd still lose.

Thanks. I thought you handled the talk page entry well. Dlohcierekim 02:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
