So I was reading your WP:VG interview and decided to submit one of the articles you mentioned to reddit. It caused quite the traffic increase. JACOPLANE • 2011-04-7 21:17

Wow, I don't think I've seen a WP:GARAGE band article survive in mainspace for that long! That beats my previous find of Kuda Bux (band) (AfD) easily.... Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the type of thing that would be kept on the record books or something. GamerPro64 10:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the history of the article should be preserved for prosperity:

Despite all these edits, that made no material difference to the article whatsoever, the article met the criteria of A7 at all times. I agree, this is one for the record books. I believe it was Beyond My Ken that once wrote "Start with an article that looks like shit and reads like it was written by a high-school dropout. A hundred edits later, take another look at the article – and it still looks and reads like shit. That's because the intervening edits did useful things like replace m-dashes with n-dashes, capitalized the first letters of template names, added interwiki links, vandalized and reverted the vandalism, made sure that bold text was being used as laid down in the manual of style, removed extraneous blank lines and miscellaneous other actions which did not, in any fundamental way, improve the article" ... and this is a prime example of that.

Hello GamerPro64, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Neverthought Films, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 23:49, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia featured topics Punic Wars good content indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 01:40, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
