Slashbot Rhyme

Delete posting of some song or something some slashdot user posted on a thread once. It's amazing how self-important those people get, thinking everything they do is worthy of documentation. Postdlf 12:50, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• FIRST POST!.... I mean DELETE! -R. fiend 15:45, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Ugh...delete. What's next, an individual article for every "+5, funny" post? -- Ferkelparade π 13:02, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Obviously not every post should be included, but this is now an established (if minor) part of modern Slashdot trolling, and is therefore worthy of inclusion in the Wikipedia. BTW I created the page, I am not Eberlin (although I cannot proffer any proof), neither am I one who trolls his posts on /. - I just find the phenomenon interesting. -- AC

• Merge and redirect or delete: to Slashdot. It's funny, but it's a rap, and it's unimportant and non-notable. Wikipedia's readers, I pray, are not all Slashdotters. This is not an item that makes sense outside a discussion of Slashdot, so let's putting it inside that discussion. Geogre 15:03, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. This wiki is an encyclopedia not a wiki about some nerdy news website. We have enough of their articles already. [[User:Norm|Norm]] 15:39, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Cruft. If anyone mentions that Wikipedia is not paper, remember that Wikipedia is also not a junkyard. --Improv 15:44, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. At least the last line of the poem is fairly accurate vis-a-vis /. Terrapin 16:07, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Yet again, someone with the delusion that rubbish on Slashdot is more than just rubbish. Average Earthman 16:13, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: rubbish. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:18, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Or, user can move to own page if desired. Do not redirect. Vanity. Original research. No potential ever to become encyclopedic. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 18:21, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Postdlf, et al, please try not to reduce yourself to generalizations about the Slashdot community (or any other community for that matter). Its unconstructive and not necessary in the voting process. Thanks. --Radman1 20:22, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, this does not seem to have any potential to become an encyclopedic article. —siroχo 23:50, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete Radman, et al, please do not preach, pontificate, or otherwise condescend to other Wikipedia editors. It is unconstructive and annoying. Thanks. Wolfman 01:38, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• How about moving it to a new article on Slashdot (or even more general Geek) Humor (which isn't quite the same as Slashdot Trolling)? -- AC (Note:comment posted by User:195.92.67.78)
• Delete or Merge into Slashdot trolling phenomena. It's good, but doesn't deserve its own article. --Desplesda 03:25, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete or merge. Though, yes, isn't it interesting how people in online communities get self-important? - Ta bu shi da yu 10:16, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
