Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WWE Smackdown! Board (IGN)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was swift deletion as the articles about a group of people with no claims of notability and could very well be called an attack article in some places. There's really no reason for this to carry on for five days. Wickethewok 14:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a somewhat non-notable bulletin board that contains primarily information about individual users, and seems to be attacking some of them. Is being edited at an alarming rate. - Bootstoots 01:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails website guidelines, and is a huge vandal magnet. Since it's being vandalized quite rapidly, I'm going to preemptively add an {{afdanons}} tag to this AfD. --Core des at talk. ^_^

Delete per nom, it seems to be little more than bios about people on a single forum of a messageboard. TJ Spyke 02:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
