*'''Keep''' It's an event. But the tactics here are worrisome. In particular, posting a vanity article at FR rather than engaging with the Wikipedia AfD process seems like bad faith. Especially given that the article is phrased in terms of attacking wikipedia, not defending the article. And...Kinnernetgal, is this your very first post?

Kinnernet
Non-notable event. All contributors are brand new users. woggly 17:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- This AfD page is now the subject of headline screed at Freerepublic: [1] Ethan Mitchell 20:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: That Freerepublic article by Joel Leyden seems to be a little harsh on the nominator for nominating a page that looks like a spammy advertisement. --Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 21:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I figured something like that would happen. Joel Leyden is banned user:Israelbeach and I "strongly suspected" all the contributors to the Kinnernet article were his sockpuppets, as well he knows. He likes spreading nasty comments about me and Wikipedia for the Google search engines to find, heaven knows he's done it before. But if the Wikipedia community deems the article notable, that's good enough for me. --woggly 05:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. Seems real enough and of some notability, but the article as it stands at the moment is decidedly spammy, and as such it's no surprise that anyone should think it was a puff-piece for a non-notable event. This needs a massive cleanup to reach the style which Wikipedia articles are meant to aspire to - we are not an "infotainment" site or bulletin board, we are an encyclopedia. I'll attempt a start to the cleanup, but more work is welcome. Grutness...wha? 00:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Looks much better now, Grutness. --Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 05:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
