Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Trolliban
Combination of not-notable and hoax. --fvw* 17:50, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
- Delete. Google gives about 35 hits, most of which are WP mirrors or postings that mention Trolliban in passing in various discussion fora. Troll groups must generate lots of mayhem before being considered notable in Wikipedia. jni 18:10, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Many of those hits are because Wikipedia has had the phrase "The Trolliban" on Troll organization since 172.145.73.53 added it on June 42004. (Now that The Trolliban exists, that number of hits has almost doubled.) Discussions about this article are pre-supposing that such a group actually exists. But the legitimacy of the actual existence of such a group seems based entirely upon what has previously been written on Wikipedia. Uncle G 13:18, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)
- Delete not notable. I'd say trollers are pretty much non-notable by definition. Starblind 18:20, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Individual trolling groups are not encyclopedic.-gadfium 18:40, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable enough even for an inclusing in Internet trolls. Reeks of vanity. --Deathphoenix 19:20, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, troll vanity, prank. Wyss 22:54, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as we all know, wikipedia does consider individual troll groups notable, but delete anyway because they actually aren't notable no matter how desperately they seek attention to fill their otherwise empty lives. Michael Ward 02:53, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable. If it even exists, it merits no more than a mention on the "Troll organizations" article. jdb ❋ 05:50, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Elite trolls indeed. What next? Elite spammers? Elite drug pushers? As Calvin's dad once said, Another day, another dollar, another irreplaceable chunk out of a finite and rapidly vanishing lifetime. How sad that these people have nothing better to do with theirs. Their petty trolling does not make them exciting, interesting or encyclopedic, and we do nobody any favours by nurturing any suggestion that it does. Andrewa 11:12, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well, you know that my vote was Speedy Delete, as vandalism, because it was my {{deletebecause|joke article}} that fvw removed and replaced with a {{vfd}}. elite trolls from the 1990s? Trolluminati? It was like throwing a match onto gasoline.? Come on! This is a joke article created by 144.137.33.156 under the guise of being an attempt to make a real article out of a vandalism article created by 24.130.116.56. Uncle G 13:18, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)
