Speedy delete technically doesn't fit any of the speedy criteria, but come on, it's something literally made up in school one day, specifically, that day being three days ago. No need to give it another week to pointlessly sit there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:31, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Made up to entertain friends at school. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 00:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
