Quack orff missie

Some kind of vanity article or a personal attack. Utterly non-encyclopedic. Delete. — JIP | Talk 06:40, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep--it is relevant to this page, which is referenced in one of the help guides here. --Jemiller226 06:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No, I still say delete. "Quack orff missie" deserves a mention on the page widening article, but it certainly doesn't deserve its own article. — JIP | Talk 07:02, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Page widening. All a troll wants is attention and I see no reason for obliging this one by expanding on his bio. Radiant_* 09:39, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nothing there worth merging -- it's just one troll attacking one forum, and he doesn't even seem to be particularly original about his methods. --Carnildo 23:19, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, personal attack. Megan1967 02:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Edit & Keep - If we forget the troll aspect, this entry is more about an infamous feud between a corporate giant (LonelyPlanet) and a small time author, something that has gone of for the best part of five years. Whether the trolling aspect is necessary is questionable however, it tells another side that is often forgotten and is often asked about among the thousands who are familar with the saga that has encompassed the battle to establish whether plagiarism/theft of research has taken place. In short, it's a poor entry that should focus less on trolling more on the facts of a real interesting story.

• Keep but it begs for an article renaming and some rewriting. --Mecanismo 21:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename to what? Re-write how? --Carnildo 22:37, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it - it's a good historical internet piece.

• I can add a few more details as I'm familiar with the history.
• Delete not notable. Grue 15:31, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable, probably vanity piece by the troll. — Asbestos | Talk 09:16, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
