Uncited opinion piece, essay and original research. Blowdart | ^talk 14:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine
have it deleted
see if I care
I just wanted to make the information more accessible to others and what better way than to Wikipedia it
I mean it's not an important aspect of skateboarding, I mean, I should know seeing as I am a Skateboarder and sponsorship is not what I skate for - it's just that I get asked alot about the subject at hand. People ask me about alot of things and usually just refer them to wikipedia and because I've been asked about this alot I decided to create this article.
PS this is the first time i have done anything on wikipedia except for viewing content so cut us some slack and make suggestions as to how the information should be presented because I've never done this before...it's a learning curve —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internal Terrorist (talk • contribs) 14:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've always thought that there should be an article on skateboard sponsorships in the wikipedia database —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internal Terrorist (talk • contribs) 14:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

either communicate with me so i can actually understand what up or otherwise change the article so it fits your criteria —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internal Terrorist (talk • contribs) 14:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

if your just out to make me look stupid then your doing a great job, I must say, well done, no,no,you've really outdone yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internal Terrorist (talk • contribs) 14:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

well i guess i'm just that incompetent huh? how bout i give you a game of skate for it - i win and the article stays, you win and you can toss it.
if you don't know what a "game of skate" is then you should wikipedia it, thats what i tell everyone else to do - but only because i know that it's there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internal Terrorist (talk • contribs) 14:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

do some research and make the necessary changes - show me how it's done--Internal Terrorist (talk) 15:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, original essay, WP:NOT a how-to guide. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Entirely OR, essentially a how to guide which WP is not. To the suggestion that if it fails the policies we do research and improve it, I instead suggest to Internal Terrorist that he/she reads up on our policies and improves if if they want the article to stay. Personally I couldn't care less about the topic and so don't care if it goes. That's not me using WP:IDONTLIKEIT, merely why I'm not going to use my time to improve an article like it.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - original essay, not encyclopedic content. I'd suggest the author consider expanding this and submitting it as an article to his/her favorite skateboarding magazine; that's how a lot of us writers first get into the business. (It's not profitable, but it can be fun.) --Orange Mike | Talk 15:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. To the author: We're not saying that what's in the article isn't good advice or that it's not worthwhile information, it's just that an encyclopedia isn't really the place for it. --Finngall ^talk 15:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
