Scott wallace

Another vanity page. No evidence in the article about what makes this man encyclopedic. Joyous 21:51, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

Speedy delete. Is somewhere between rambling and nonsense. JOHN COLLISON [ L u d r a m an] 22:21, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Why is the surname always in lower case on these vanity articles? [[User:Xezbeth|Xezbeth]] 22:24, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Speedy, please Delete Wyss 23:32, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Not a speedy at all. Delete it with the due process.Dr Zen 00:21, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'd be interested in reading the "expose on nursing homes that conveniently lose patients who discover that administrators are running geriatric porn sites" but delete. — [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 00:24, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete, and pwn the site as well. Rickyrab 00:28, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Comment: Neutrality has once more abused the process to speedy delete an article on which this process was ongoing. Not only did he do so but he showed his contempt for his fellow editors by not commenting here.Dr Zen 01:55, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
<sigh> Totally valid speedy delete. It was nonsense. If you really believe that it was not nonsense, pursue it at VfU. I agree with User:Dr Zen that it is impolite and ill-advised to speedy articles listed on VfD without telling folks about it, usually in advance, but it is also possible that an article carries a speedy tag as well as a VfD tag, or instead of one, and then that an administrator sees it at cat:csd. For those interested in the article's contents for private reasons, here it is, in living color:

"Scott Wallace is a lovely fellow from upstate New York, a former hockey childstar and chronic melancholic, who just turned 28 on Monday, Dec. 6 and is close to tears about it. He thinks his looks are fading and that his talents are waning. Instead, however, age is simply giving him a nobility he did not have before, and his talents are becoming softer, gentler - not more rotten - and in my opinion more applicable to helping his generation of near-30 somethings find themselves. I can attest to that. He is a journalism student at Columbia University. And is writing an expose on nursing homes that conveniently lose patients who discover that administrators are running geriatric porn sites."

Please cite here the criterion that you use for deciding this is a speedy. The criterion for nonsense would not disallow the page in question. Dr Zen 07:14, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'm afraid I agree with Dr Zen - this was an obvious delete but not really a speedy delete according to the current cases. (It would be an excellent case study for the proposed expansion of speedy cases.) Rossami (talk)

- Well, remember that I didn't speedy delete it. I do think it's a speedy delete, however. (I don't speedy things from the VfD page without at least 24 hours notice to see if anyone disagrees.) The reason that I think it's a valid speedy is the internal indications of pranking, which is, therefore, vandalism. The impossibilities (the geriatric porn, the chronic melancholic) suggest that the intent of the "article" is to play a joke on someone (the reader, most likely). Those are valid speedies.
