Clyde Lewis has been nominated for deletion.[edit]

You probably want to express yourself at AfD/Clyde Lewis, given that you've put a fair amount of work into that article. —SlamDiego_←T 01:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know, and for the fixes you've done. Especially the 15/14-story-fall thing. :) Mordant Kitten 08:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jargon[edit]

I think that you really meant to refer to sockpuppets, rather than to meatpuppets, in AfD/Clyde Lewis.

The term “sockpuppet” refers to a secondary account. Thus, sockpuppets are disallowed when used

to distort the apparent mass of opinion (as in discussions where voting or consensus is to determine an outcome,
to surreptitiously violate the three-revert rule, or
to surreptitiously violate a block or ban.

The term “meatpuppet” refers to a second person acting as a mere subordinate, rather than as an autonomous editor. (There seems to be a consensus that these too are a Bad Thing, but rules and quasi-rules against them end-up being arbitrary or utterly unenforceable.) —SlamDiego_←T 20:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Clyde Lewis[edit]

The article Clyde Lewis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

We got maybe one newspaper article mentioning him--does not appear to pass GNG. Please see history for more "content".

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
