Iustin Capra[edit]

This article needs a reality check at least. I don't get any english google hits for his name. The article also says he invented an "anti-gravity machine which reduced the weight with 30%", which I think I would have heard of. Should be deleted unless verified. Thue | talk 14:37, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Note to nominator: please follow correct procedure for nomination. particularly used of subst: Chris 14:42, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Why use the subst? It is much cleaner to just use {{vfd}}. Thue | talk 14:56, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Using subst: expands the tag, so changes in diffs are easier to spot. Speedied article as hoax. Mgm|(talk) 15:22, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Which changes are easier to see? it is perfectly easy to see when a non-subst vfd-tag has been added or removed. Thue | talk 15:46, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Really? Some people don't use the Edit Summary field for adding the tag, and vandals occasionally remove it usually without touching the edit summary. When you're looking at a diff, {{vfd}} doesn't stand out, whereas the removal of a whole bunch of lines does. Also beware of unauthorised changes to the template reflecting on every page that has it included directly. Chris 21:24, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I am not convinced; at least I am capable to see the removal of {{vfd}} in a diff. Vandalism of the template doesn't happen often enough, and is corrected quickly enough, that it doesn't convince me to use subst. Still seems like a rule for the rules own sake, so I will continue using {{vfd}}. Thue | talk 08:42, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
