Speedy deletion of Australian International Arms

A tag has been placed on Australian International Arms, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Misplaced Pages criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NSH001 (talk) 12:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Australian International Arms

An article that you have been involved in editing, Australian International Arms, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Australian International Arms. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? NSH001 (talk) 14:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Kartano. If you want the Australian International Arms article to survive, you need to find reliable independent references that show it is a notable company. Forum websites are not considered reliable. My suggestion is to look through a Google search and find news / known gun magazines / other known sources that discuss AIA. I see there is currently one reference in the article. You'll probably need many more to survive the vote. Do it quickly, as the AfD may close at any time.

Greetings

And greetings from a fellow Wikipedian who grew up in Melbourne but who is now stuck in Merbein and Mildura due to work constraints. Maybe we're mirror images of each other? :) -- Longhair\ 20:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

A friendly reminder to check dates when replying to discussions

Thanks for your input on the Lee-Enfield talk page! Just a friendly reminder to check the dates on things you're replying to- some of the topics you are responding to are several years old, and have often (usually?) been resolved a long time ago, or weren't a big issue then and are completely irrelevant now. Please, if you could avoid resurrecting old discussion points unless there's something new to add factual information-wise, it would be greatly appreciated and make it easier to follow the discussion as well!

Thank you!

Thank you for reverting the vandalism done to my user page! You should know that the IP is a sock of User:Savagebladez, and will likely attack anyone that prevents him from vandalizing Misplaced Pages. Just a friendly heads up. Thanks again! Fezmar9 (talk) 16:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Suck my dick

Kartano, you are engaged in an AfD where all is not well. Suck my dick is not an article per se, it is a redirect. If you want to get rid of it, you should go to Redirects for Discussion. (But you'd never get a consensus to delete it, since it's a simple matter of redirecting for alternate capitalization.) Regards, Drmies (talk) 05:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

• BTW, you understand that I'm not telling you to, you know, suck it and all. Right? Cause I wouldn't. Drmies (talk) 05:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
• I Completely understand. As was said on your discussion page, having the above title does make THIS page stand out! Kartano (talk) 06:15, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Hey, you saw, perhaps, that the AfD was closed speedily, with a note on where you could take this. I gotta tell you though, the chances are slim for the reasons outlined above. Personally, I think the title of the movie is in pretty poor taste in the first place. At least Eat Shit is not a film, though Eat shit also is a redirect... Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 06:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

RE: Misplaced Pages Firearms Project

I think New Yorkers should be allowed to have guns -- so they can shoot people like you. --142.179.122.199 (talk) 06:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
