National Emo Kid Beatdown Day

This is an attack article on a nonsense "holiday", with the entire article devoted to promoting violence. It isn't really a CSD, but it's only being talked about on minor forums, and should be deleted as soon as it gains unanimous support to do so. Harro5 21:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete - Violates four criteria for speedy deletion:
  1. Not notable. 44 hits on Google proves a lack of notability, plus the unsourced nature of the article given the flaws of the four so-called "sources" (as mentioned below).
  2. Attack page. Disparages so-called "emo kids", and condones violence.
  3. Vanity page. Condones a project supported by a handful of people.
  4. Borderline vandalism. This isn't encyclopedic in the slightest.
In this case, forcing this through an AfD process simply allows Wikipedia to be complicit in the event itself. This article will no longer be contested by its participants once the event is over (ie, tomorrow). -- ChrisB 21:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Gogle Search actually reveals 13,700 hits. [1]
  2. This is not an attack page. The forums about this are attack pages. The wikipedia article presents everything in a neutral light including a section on criticism of the holiday.
  3. As per above this is spreading through the internet far beyond the original group of people.
  4. Wikipedia can not be the sum of all human knowledge if we eliminate the articles about subjects we find offensive.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by God of War (talk • contribs) 21:34, 5 June 2006.
  • Keep - See my responses to above criticisms. We can not delete an article just because it is personally offensive. The article might be about a hate movement but the article itself is presented in a WP:NPOV.--God Ω War 21:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your Google search post is faulty. You did an open search for all of the terms. A search for "Emo Kid Beatdown Day" shows the true result, which has jumped to a whopping 68 hits. [2] -- ChrisB 21:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
