Re: Lazydork!!!
editHi, I created an article about Lazydork, a huge internet star and you deleted it really quickly - even after I tried to dispute it on the talk page. This is really unfair. I'll repost what I wrote on the talk page since you apparently didn't bother to read it.
"Hello, I created the Lazydork page and was stunned to see it had been marked for speedy deletion because the subject was "unremarkable." As seen by the links I added, the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, the New York Times, MSNBC and youtube itself all disagree this is an unremarkable person. I wish I could also add a link to his live interview on CNN's American Morning. It is absurd that Emmalina would have a Wikipedia page and Lazydork would not since 1) he is an active poster and 2) has now surpassed her in popularity. His relevance to the internet video sharing phenomenon has been recognized by all outlets of major mainstream media, and Wikipedia should allow the article to stand.
His journey from prosecutor to internet star to professional poker player has captivated the attention millions, and deserves to be recognized on this site." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gigicat (talk • contribs) .
- As you can see from the deletion log, I deleted the page on 2 September and 3 September. The references you cite are all from late September and early October. When I deleted the article, there was no assertion of notability, other than that he was some guy on YouTube; indeed, here is an excerpt from the article as posted by 98smithg2 (talk · contribs):
"Lazy Dork Is a famous you-tube enternainer/rabi/philisopher who inspires new content as well as reviewing old. Known throughout the lands as rick or el-dizzel or lazyDork he has become so much of a legend some even doubt his existence, although some fables put lazy dork as so clever he counted to infinitely ...twice."
- If you can write a proper encyclopaedic article on this "Lazydork" fellow then please go ahead. What I deleted was not in any way encyclopaedic. --bainer (talk) 07:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's all good and fine, but I wrote a very straightforward and "encyclopaedic" article on him yesterday, 10-12-06, that was "speedily deleted" even though I tried to dispute the process. The article I wrote was totally distinct from the nonsense written by "98smithg2" on the 2nd and 3rd and I have no connection to him at all. Can you please undelete the article I posted yesterday, as I'm sure it will pass muster under your requirements for encyclopaedic writing and factual accuracy? Please look into it, I'd hate for someone's nonsensical rantings to stop an informative and relevant article from being posted.

- As you can also see from the deletion log, your version was speedily deleted by Brookie (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). I suggest you either take up the issue with Brookie, or take the article to Deletion review where it will be given the appropriate consideration. --bainer (talk) 02:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
