Sarcasma

Tally:9 delete, 0 keep, 0 other.'

Looks like original research. I've listed it here in case anyone has any objection to deletion for any reason. File Éireann 22:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Damn you, you edit conflicted me while I was putting it up for speedy! Oh well, I'll give it a Strong Delete ⇒ SWATJester File:Flag of Iceland.svg Ready Aim Fire! 22:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the votes from anonymous users down below for cleanliness: anonymous users are not counted in Wikipedia votes, but their comments should not be deleted either. It should be noted that all 3 IP's appear to be sockpuppets: 100% of their edits are to either Sarcasma, or this page. ⇒ SWATJester File:Flag of Iceland.svg Ready Aim Fire! 08:55, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikpedia Deletion policy does not say that anon comments are "ineligble" nor is any tally relevant, because the decision is made by rough consensus, not by a tallying of votes. Moving things around like this is unnecessarily divisive and seems to stem only from your expressed bias against anonymous editors. Fightindaman 16:25, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

No Wikipedia Deletion policy doesn't. but Why register? does. To whit you must register to get: "The right to be heard in votes and elections."

As for tallies: Why do we have them on RFA's then? they're only decided by the closing 'crat's decision on whether there is a consensus, not a vote tally. But we do them anyway. Are you honestly going to tell me in this case that these 3 IP's appear to be anything other than sockpuppets trying to screw with the vote?⇒ SWATJester File:Flag of Iceland.svg Ready Aim Fire! 00:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

This isn't the way things are done on AfD. The closing admin handles the determination of which comments count towards the final decision. By common practice anon votes are left in place. If you disagree with the practice, you ought to seek to develop a consensus for a change. Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion is probably a good place to do that.

And if you'll notice, I'm not deleting the obviously sockpuppet/meatpuppetted comments, merely moving them to a different section. It's very clear that according to WP:WHY that anon's are not allowed to vote.

But this is AfD not the older VfD. So it's not a vote it's a discussion. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
