List of Charmed Neutral Beings[edit]
Pretty close to patent nonsense, but I figured I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. Complete text at time of VfD is: "Am i neutral being?" Possibly D&D related? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:12, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
- I'm ready to take the heat in case anyone disagrees, but this was more than "pretty close to patent nonsense". Entire content was "Am i neutral being?". I've speedied it accordingly. -- Ferkelparade π 22:29, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Addendum: For the record, it's not D&D related but related to the TV series Charmed. There has been lots of fun with charmed-related articles already - some people have spent lots of time creating dozens of substubs about totally nonnotable minor characters, copy/pasting lots of copyrighted material into different "list of..."-articles etc., then recreating all that stuff after it had been deleted. If you ever have a bored afternoon, follow the links from the main Charmed article and dig around the edit histories of the related articles -- Ferkelparade π 22:35, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well, based on my understanding, "patent nonsense" by the WP definition refers primarily to random or semi-random words or characters. An article named "etjpforijgp" or "Monkey soapdish shadowfax mudskipper" would certainly be considered Patent Nonsense. I'm not sure that this qualifies, as some might see real-article potential in the Charmed Neutral Beings concept. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you on this one though, as I won't miss this silly little article one bit. :) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:45, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
- We have actual content, apparently, at List of Charmed Good Beings and List of Charmed Evil Beings. This does not make the article that was deleted any less patent nonsense, since unlike these other articles the deleted content contains nothing that would answer anyone's questions about neutral beings on Charmed. It seemed more like sandbox play or confusion than an attempt to create an article, which makes it patent nonsense under the local definition. -- Smerdis of Tlön 20:28, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It's back as a redirect. Odd, but then again, redirects are cheap. hfool/Roast me 01:51, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
