Speedy deletion[edit]

I don't mean to insult anybody, but the speedy deletion request is moronic. This guy died today and it's on the frontpage of all Japanese newspapers (English-language ones as well). I can't be arsed writing the whole thing at once but if I at least start it out, maybe somebody else will have a go at it, before I do. -- Mackan ^{talk | c} 17:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The template should be used for context-less entries of the "He is a funny man that has created Factory and the Hacienda. And, by the way, his wife is great"-variety. Saying he's a novelist and a peace activist clearly gives some very contextual information..! -- Mackan ^{talk | c} 18:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article could actually be deleted as no context, simply because rewriting seven words wouldn't be too difficult.-Wafulz 18:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stub classification[edit]

This article has been classified as a stub due to its level of organisation and detail. It is a substub which needs to be fleshed out. Capitalistroadster 19:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have classified the article as a start given that it now has sections and expanded content. Capitalistroadster 07:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source[edit]

This link doesn't work for me - it simply redirects to that website's main page saying no article is found. --Cherry blossom tree 11:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
