WP:MADEUP - multiple IPs vandalizing. 7 talk | Δ | 03:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete this rot. Speedy as G3 perhaps? Crafty (talk) 03:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed and tagged as such originally, but now two separate (geographically distinct) IPs have removed the tag. 7 talk | Δ | 03:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Removing legitimate CSD tags is vandalism. The IPs should be warned and if they continue reported to the relevant place. Crafty (talk) 03:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that this page is junk, but per WP:CSD it is only an original author who is prohibited from removing the tag. The IPs (while one of them may be a sockpuppets) are technically allowed to remove the tag, although courtesy would suggest that they should improve the article or explain their rationale. As it stands, we may get a lenient admin to come across and take care of this quickly, but I think that by the book this one needs to go through AFD. 7 talk | Δ | 04:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Bugger the book. If ever there was a reason to WP:IAR this is it. Crafty (talk) 08:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - agreed this definitely qualifies for speedy but if we want to go through the process that's fine. It does seem that multiple users are involved unless there is a proxy. Jamesofur (talk) 04:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Snow delete as obvious vandalism. This term also qualifies under WP:NEO and WP:DICDEF. Cunard (talk) 05:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Kill with fire per the above. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 08:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as per nom - pure vandalism. — QuantumEleven 10:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete under G3 as pure vandalism. Per WP:CSD, "Speedy deletion is intended to reduce the time spent on deletion discussions for articles with no practical chance of surviving discussion." Even if an IP removes the tag, what stops any admin from subsequently simply deleting it as G3 vandalism? This should not stay up for 7 days. Edison (talk)
