Direct violation of Not DIR. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 10:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep as nominator is mass-nominating a long list of science fiction conventions with the same cookie-cutter rationale, not grounded in facts or policy, without regard to content or sourcing (plus this list), apparently as a result of this discussion. WP:NOTDIR is not a prohibition against lists. - Dravecky (talk) 11:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you will find I am chery picking the ones which fail to indicate why they are notable events, not just nominating them all. The category is full of articles designed to promote thier various conventions and im merely using the shot example to demonstrate that ive gone through everything and found nothing. I also wish to point out you'll be using the same inclusionist shitter arguement that you normally do. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 11:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My same what now? You nominated 13 articles for deletion in 19 minutes so while I'll assume in good faith that you thoroughly investigated each article, searched for sources, and worked to improve the article, as per WP:BEFORE, at less than 2 minutes per article nominated I do have to question how thorough any research might have been. It appears you're making a WP:POINT. - Dravecky (talk) 11:26, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The same inclusionist shitter argument that you normally do"? I haven't been following Wikipedia deletion arguments or Wikipedia policy changes lately. Did it become OK to make personal attacks and ad hominem slurs recently? --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 15:30, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Promethian, please moderate your language. There is no need for it. Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - obvious "pointy" behavior and lack of good faith; if we have lists at all here, this is clearly one to keep. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Fulfils all the requirements of a list on Wikipedia - it is a list of Wikipedia articles on a particular topic. Nominator misunderstands NOTDIR. Nominator isn't Gavin.collins is he? Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)ETA Gavin didn't like lists, but he was never that rude. Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Elen. Tentontunic (talk) 13:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Not only is this the sort of list found all over Wikipedia, but it contains useful information aside from just being a list. It certainly doesn't violate NOTDIR, which is the rationale behind the nomination. Shsilver (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
