Wikipedian Elitism

Apparently Mr. Chauncy Covington arrived on Wikipedia and set up a vanity page for himself. He was scolded for doing so (see his talk page) and has retaliated by writing an article featuring the views of Chauncy Covington, "existentialist philosopher", on his perceived enemies at Wikipedia, the "elitists". This page has no value aside from its unintentional humor. Delete. Zora 15:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. But as a "Wikipedian Eitist" (sic), I would say that... P Ingerson 16:49, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Oh my God, it is a Discordian prank! The thing is, most pranks are not funny. Especially those executed with the use of hipster diction. 195.148.74.159 18:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, rant, meets "original research" deletion criterion but contains nothing we haven't heard at least once a month in someone's temper tantrum. Not nearly funny enough for BJAODN. Not worth cleanup. I'm torn between "don't bite the newbies" and "wipe your poopy undershorts, your philosophy is smelly." Barno 20:40, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Mis-spelled pursui--Kyknos 19:06, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)t. Incorrectly wikified Aristotle. That's enough for me. -- 8^D ^gab 22:36, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
• Delete, POV essay. Also provides false info as the author didn't develop the concept "Wikipedian elitism". Mgm|^(talk) 22:47, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Additional comment: The concept has already been described disgrunted vandals (I'm not saying the anon is one), so it's not new at all. Mgm|^(talk) 22:52, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

• So true! Delete as neologism, original research, vanity and because the contributor is a poopy-head. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:11, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• That was me that "scolded" him on his talk page, although I was trying to avoid that impression. Our friend Chauncy seems to regard Wikipedia as a forum for original research and self-promotion... Delete. —Miles (Talk) 17:55, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
