Rhys Is The Word[edit]

A user questioned what this page was about at the Help Desk, and it doesn't seem to give any context. Another user tagged it as a speedy G1 (patent nonsense) but it has too much coherent content for that. However it's clearly going to need some explanation of what it is about before it is keepable. I've saved it from speedy deletion by bringing it here. No vote from me, yet. AndyJones (talk) 08:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly intended to be the episode guide for some sort of TV show but Google gives no relevant hits at all therefore it is presumably a hoax ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or if you are in a mighty hurry, speedy A1. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory - "Wikipedia is not... (an) electronic program guide... although mention of... historically significant programme lists and schedules... may be acceptable" (from WP:NOT#DIR). A Google search ([1]) also returns negative - "Substantive coverage in reliable sources suggests that the subject is notable." Littleteddy (talk) 12:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Garbage.--EndlessDan 14:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm the editor who made the Help Desk query. For the record, the article redirected from a user page of the same name. This was unacceptable (and has been fixed), but it does appear that the user in question has made some valid edits to articles for actual TV shows—[2]—and I wondered (assuming good faith and all that) if maybe the original move had somehow been inadvertent and the content should be moved to his/her user page before it's deleted. Just a thought. Probably more trouble than it's worth. Rivertorch (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I see that User:Rhys_Is_The_Word has logged on today, so no doubt he'll comment here if that's what he would like. I'm hoping he'll explain what this article is about, also, since googling suggests that there's no TV show with this title. AndyJones (talk) 17:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete this show doesn't exist; the name was possibly derived from the show Grease Is the Word —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chasecarter (talk • contribs) 01:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not suitable for an encyclopedia and it's clearly against policy to move your user page to the main article namespace, BUT can we keep it for the Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense pages? FWIW, I think the author has used an interesting technique, presenting a weekly blog of his life as if it was a TV show. Oops!

Delete, since it's not a real TV show or a real anything else. Sadly, BJAODN is extinct, so this can't get moved there. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
