Discussion on issue

• Keep all unless specifically stated otherwise. This is a revenge nomination(s) and should be removed - Texture 17:49, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • not only you delete my lists, now you try to censor me! this isn't fair! 141 18:05, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • For the record, I voted to keep one of them. :P - Texture 18:12, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Regardless of the motivation for listing these, some of them probably do deserve consideration. I recommend that we let the process work. Note to User:141: Are you or have you added the VfD notices to all these pages so the interested parties can participate in the debate? Rossami
  • I disagree. We cannot allow VfD do become a means for people who feel slighted to abuse the system. This page is now 175 Kb and has been almost completely unfunctional for some time. I pause before posting here anymore because I know that I will have to go through three or four edit conflicts before I can post. This abuse must stop. (Keep all.) RadicalBender 18:14, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• keep all I don't know about all of these articles, but they are being treated generically and this could lead to a permanent loss of valuable information. SimonMayer 18:49, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Keep all, for reasons mentioned above. --Mrwojo 18:59, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• This nomination is purely BJAODN — Sverdrup 19:07, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Agreed w/RadicalBender. If I list Wikipedia for deletion will it be voted on or removed? It will be removed as an invalid candidate. Your motivation is very relevant to consideration. A nomination that you don't want deleted for a valid reason is not a valid nomination. - Texture 18:21, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I agree with RadicalBender and Texture. 141 is behaving like a vexatious litigant, and I believe it's time we should start ignoring people who post frivolous VfD entries. -- Arwel 19:13, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)~
  • This is more like an attempt to sabotage the system than a sensible nomination. I vote keep all. If there are any that people think are particularly useless, nominate them in the normal fashion. But not en masse. Average Earthman 19:33, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
