Silly essay on de minimis topic that does not advance the goals of Wikipedia in any way. The author should perhaps get to work writing some articles instead of spending his time on this claptrap.Brad Wingo (talk) 21:39, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I don't recognize "silly" as one of the acceptable delete rationales.--SPhilbrickT 01:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This essay was created by Hasteur as a proposal regarding Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Wikibombing, which is still ongoing and very much divided in terms of consensus, so this nomination is a bit out of line. Oh, and yes, "silly" is not a proper rationale - frankie (talk) 02:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - This nomination is rather disruptive given the WP:SEOBOMB MFD. Also, WP:SOCK anyone? Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - seems redundant to WP:Wikibombing (SEO), a much better and more developed essay on the same topic (discussed below). Robofish (talk) 13:17, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• It is unusual to see objections to keeping variations of Wikipedia essays in userspace. Copies of articles, no. Copies of policy, probably problematic. Essays, though,are different. Users are well encouraged to write their personal wikipedia-related essays in their own userspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• delete per WP:BEANS. As one participant in the other MfD noted, let google do their job of being a search engine, let us do ours of being an encyclopedia. In addition there is no consensus against this behavior on its own if no other policy is broken, we have OTHER criteria that will remove wikibombing attempts (WP:UNDUE and WP:N are two that come to mind).

• Keep the material is relevant to Wikipedia operations. jorgenev 15:30, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
