Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Keep per WP:SNOW. Consensus is clear that this is an active, good faith attempt at writing an encyclopedia article on a possibly notable topic, consistent with userspace norms. Skomorokh 23:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Attempt to create an article for a non-notable, Internet trolls organization, that is unacceptable to have around. Diego Grez (talk) 01:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The article is constantly being updated with notable citations referring to the organisation in question, there are other wikipedia pages dedicated to notable internet trolls, and "unacceptable to have around"? I'd at least appreciate that being backed up with some kind of reference to Wikipedia policy. Thanks in advance. Murdox (talk) 01:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I know of them only because i've been around the spam attacks mentioned in the article, I'm not really sure if it's notable or not so I'll say either Weak Delete or Weak keep. (if there were a neutral I would go there) Pilif12p :  Yo  01:59, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Sourcing is thin; GNAA article has been salted and is unlikely to be rebuilt even with this. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 04:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article is a work-in-progress. It is not in the main Wikipedia namespace, and also uses NOINDEX. I do not think this article in its current location will cause any harm. I find the group name distasteful, but I do not see why they are not worthy enough to have an article; especially after they saved over 120,000 American iPad users from getting their email addresses sold off to spammers. GNAA from 2005 when the article was first made has changed a lot in the current time; a lot more Wiki-worthy achievements have been made. I understand there will be some discomfort when this leaves Murdox's userspace, but that is not the time now. The article is still a WIP, and in a "no harm" zone!

**This is all off-wiki. Additionally, it seems you've mistaken a topic on a completely separate IRC network for freenode canvassing. Also, I'd like to point you to WP:IDONTLIKEIT Murdox (talk) 20:25, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
