Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Cheap Shit) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

The article was deleted multiple times (I was not the first administrator to delete it) for the reasons I gave above. If you disagree with this deletion - and the two before it - please take it to deletion review. -- Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 22:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just deleted the sixth version of Cheap Shit, and have locked it to prevent recreation. If you believe this article should remain at Wikipedia, take it to deletion review. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 22:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at one of the official policies of Wikipedia, WP:NOT, which states plainly: "That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia." If you intend to re-create the above you, you need to cite reliable, third-party sources that demonstrate the full use of the term as you describe it and its cultural significance, remove any original research, and ensure that it is written from a neutral point of view. The verion you created most recently failed each one of those guidelines, and the article most likely will not be recreated until it meets them.

Civility[edit]

Could I suggest that mundane editorial disagreements are most likely to resolve quickly and productively when editors observe the following:

  • Remain polite per WP:Civility.
  • Solicit feedback and ask questions.
  • Keep the discussion focused. Concentrate on a small set of related matters and resolve them to the satisfaction of all parties.
  • Focus on the subject rather than on the personalities of the editors.
