• Vanity page, is currently protected because it was reverted, deleted, and recreated many times. --Flockmeal 22:17, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete Thanks Flockmeal, you beat me to posting that. In that case, I'll register my vote. Zachlipton 22:19, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• It's sad he died, but unless someone can establish some sort of achievement from this person, I'll vote delete. Wikipedia isn't a memorial. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 22:53, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Sorry that he died, but this is not the place for a memorial to him. Why not move it to the author's userpage? --Improv 23:23, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. --fvw* 01:18, 2004 Nov 28 (UTC)
• This belongs in a userpage, not an article. Delete. --Idont Havaname 01:29, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, obviously. jni 11:59, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. --Randy Johnston 02:51, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• It shouldn't be protected while it's on VfD, just in case someone out there has the ability to write an encyclopedic article to salvage this. But the current content doesn't qualify, so delete. --Michael Snow 04:32, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • It probably shouldn't be protected now. The entry was originally protected because its creator started an edit war by continuously removing the VfD notice. Zachlipton 17:29, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• You don't think I know what a yoogoogally is? Delete it. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 06:05, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I can see now that Wikipedia is not a memorial site, and this persons death is very obviously not as important as your website.

• That's not it at all. All we're saying is that this isn't the right place for a memorial. It's as if you decided to setup a shrine to the person in the middle of a busy street, and shout at the cars to leave because their desire to get around is less important than the person's death. Memorials have a time and place, but Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for them. We don't mean to demean the death. Sorry if you got that impression. --Improv 05:31, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• There are many good people who die each day, and they leave holes in our hearts. But Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize them, and people do not deserve your contempt because they do not unilaterally change the purpose of the site for your purposes. Do you snipe at the compilers of the Yellow Pages that they "obviously" regard publishing people's phone numbers and addresses as more "important" than your memorials? Delete. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:23, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Can leaving a page that will be added to later (by members of my school) really do this site harm? What can it possibly do?

You speak of me "sniping" at you? I am sorry, I did not realise that you offend so easily. The fact that you seem to give more thought about your precious site, which I might hasten to add, I find is not that great at all,over a person who I wanted to write about and died. which I might hasten to add, I find is not that great at all.
