Naked and Petrified

Not notable. Just some guy who used to be a troll. Verges on fancruft. --Improv 07:09, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I heard about this guy on a message board, but he's not particularly notable. Delete. --Slowking Man 07:38, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
Not often that a three year-old article gets nominated. Weak keep. Cool Hand Luke 08:55, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC) Redirect to Slashdot trolling phenomenon. Cool Hand Luke 09:37, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete. This is an encycopedia not a trollpedia. Nor^m 11:01, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Wikipedia is not Slashdot's inhouse pet record for their in-jokes and trolls. Average Earthman 13:13, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Not very notable in the big scheme of things. Thue | talk 16:51, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Why do people think anything slashdot is somehow notable? -R. fiend 17:38, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Don't see how this can be worse or less relevant than Gay Nigger Association of America. [[User:Gamaliel|Gamaliel File:Watchmensmiley20.gif]] 18:35, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. If that's the best that can be said for it, enough said! Probable vanity, by a self-confessed troll. Andrewa 19:54, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  - Well, it is precedent that Slashdot trolls are notable enough to deserve at least one article. It's lame, but it's notable/famous enough to make the cut, and should be preserved, even if it's just a redirect to Slashdot#Trolling_and_moderation.[[User:Gamaliel|Gamaliel File:Watchmensmiley20.gif]] 06:38, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    - Not sure this "one bad article deserves another" mentality really works. Having this article is like having an article on each of the 40+ members of the GNAA. At least as a group they might be somewhat notable. -R. fiend 17:28, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Possibly autobiographical.Raazer 20:20, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Intrigue 21:26, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete, agree with R. fiend, who cares about Slashdot? -Vina 21:56, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
keep was usefull to me. This kind of cultural bit is what make wikipedia superior to paper encyclopedias.
- Comment: That vote from IP 64.230.175.176, who has no other edits. Probably a valid comment from a reader IMO, but no change of vote. Andrewa 01:53, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Keep - its notable enough. Mark Richards 06:24, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete: trollvertisement. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:39, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Weak keep. Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of that?. *ahem* Kim Bruning 20:25, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Even being an RHPS fan, I never made that connection. Hope I added this vote correctly.

~~Weak keep, because wikipedia is not paper and this guy has a small amount of notability.~~ Redirect to Slashdot trolling phenomenon as this article will probably never be expanded. —siro χ o 00:52, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
Keep this is interesting. The Recycling Troll 03:13, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Delete. More unnotable troll garbage. Maybe merge somewhere or other. Jallan 16:25, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Merge and Redirect to Slashdot trolling phenomena. Doesn't deserve a separate article. Mackensen 05:09, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Does not deserve an article for itself. Delete. -- Mike Rosoft 10:56, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
