Say Hey

An article on a message board on a Kylie Minogue website - that's probably reason to delete. The current longer version is a (probably defametory) record of trolling on that website. Attempts to redirect to Kylie have been reverted. --Doc (?) 11:51, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete and then protect... a good example of why we can't include too many forum articles: they quickly turn into heaping piles of shit. In any case, a section of a singer's website is not encyclopedically notable anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:08, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, recreate as redirect to Willie Mays, and protect. android 79 12:23, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Sayhey is a pop culture phenomenon inmvolving thousands of people, and it has made mainstream influences. The entry must stay but needs to be protected from vandalism.^{(unsigned comment by User:203.164.52.84)}

Could some admin consider protecting this until the VfD is concluded - there's been a revert war going on --Doc (?) 12:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious delete. Unencyclopedic, WP:N, WP:V. An article whose subject is an internet message forum.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 13:50:18, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
Everything that you keep deleting has been entirely factual, non-defamatory... and interesting from a pop culture point of view. Please stop vandalising this entry. This is fascism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.164.52.84 (talk • contribs) 2005-08-11 13:04:09 UTC
I've temporarily protected the article, and blocked the several three-revert rule violators and the one persistent vandal who had already been warned. Please note during this discussion that there is a dispute over the contents of this article. You may wish to also refer to the other version whilst discussing the article's deletion.

Delete For the above reasons and for the behavioural problems. --Marcus22 14:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An encyclopaedia article on a Kylie forum. They should be so lucky, lucky, lucky. Capitalistroadster 16:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is a shameless and pathetic attempt by the webmaster of the site to gain fame and more credence and notoriety on the internet when most people with common sense will avoid it like the plague. — (Unsigned comment by JoJo05; user's 1st edit.)
Delete and if it comes back, delete and scorch. For all the reasons above.

Delete this steaming pile of turd. It's another attempt from some very disturbed individuals to voice their slanderous and bitchy opinions on others that they don't know in a bid to make themselves feel a little bit more important. Some of the members on the Say Hey forum are incredibly immature and have way too much time on their hands. So, yeah....Delete this waste of space until someone can write something at least worthy of being read by mature adults....NONE of which frequent that bloody forum!! _{Unsigned vote by 172.203.75.19 - whom I take it is voting delete}
Delete Yes, I think you can safely say I feel it should be DELETED!!\ (Unsigned vote by 172.203.75.19 (talk · contribs))
Delete This needs to be deleted, I am the "HollabackPat" mentioned, I don't like this sort of trashy thing, why can't we be adults. (Unsigned vote by 4.233.127.226 (talk · contribs))
Keep Sayhey is culturally significant to the same level that other websites like Slashdot and Popbitch (which have their own Wikipedia entries) are. Probably the bits which defame individuals should be removed. But anything which reflects the sites internal culture, and nature of debate is worthy of detailing in Wikipedia. Cheers.

Delete nn message board. --Etacar11 23:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Redirect to Willie Mays is unnecessary. I just created a redirect from Say Hey Kid and that should be plenty. Dystopos 21:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete until a better and less self-congratulatory version can come along. Deletion, however, should not be based on all of the above (and obvious) biases. Notability is self-evident, and suggesting that the grounds on which this is nn would probably mean that EVERY forum entry is useless, including slashdot and such. HOWEVER, to prevent further holier-than-thou delete requests, I suggest a merger with the actual Kylie_Minogue article itself, with a mention of the basics (large active member base, recent legal threats over posting midweeks and unreleased artist material, etc.). --_Alex¯^Jon 16:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
