Thanks for the heads up. The [[Kalendar Koffee House]] page probably isn't a speedy candidate since the duplicate has gone up on AFD. The user has been spamming and trying to use the 'pedia for advertising for a couple of weeks - you seem to have seen the [[Coffeehouse]] page already - and though the 'company' page could probably be construed as a speedy candidate itself (a different version was already speedied), I wanted to make sure that there was a consensus behind deleting in the hope of preventing further reposting. There is a means for posting similar pages under a single AFD vote, which I would've tried to do had I known of the duplicate at the time the first went up. Given that it's been a couple of days, though, I'd rather put it up for a separate vote just to be on the safe side. --[[User:DMG413|DMG413]] 16:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC) |

Deleting Kalendar from the coffee house category is wrong. To claim that Kalendar is advertising is also incorrect. |

The Kalendar article lists date of opening and location with interior photo. The so called "vanity" aspects have been removed from the article. Kalendar may not be as "noteable" as the larger chains, but that should not preclude it from listing in the coffee house category. To call this article spam would be to call all listings in this category spam. The previous AFD article was edited down to be considered for inclusion - tis all. No harm intended. |

This on the other hand is the opening paragraphs of the Starbucks listing. I imagine that all listings in this category are similar to this. |

So; here's where you can whine (oops - I meant discuss) about what I'm doing here ;-)
Yes, well, what are you doing here ? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gokkun&diff=next&oldid=45615330 DanielDemaret 13:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm confused - the comparison implies I removed stuff - I did NOT do anything but add my comment - if I'd wanted to pull stuff off it would be the pic, not someone's argument for keeping it. Is there a tech authority here who can look into this?Bridesmill 13:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Right, as I said on the page, it was just a software glitch. It happened to me once and had me listed as doing various vandalisms. I reported it to the bug people but I don't think that you should - it's just a glitch, I guess, that comes up now and again, it's probably over by now. Herostratus 21:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Kalendar Koffee House Company
Thanks for the heads up. The Kalendar Koffee House page probably isn't a speedy candidate since the duplicate has gone up on AFD. The user has been spamming and trying to use the 'pedia for advertising for a couple of weeks - you seem to have seen the Coffeehouse page already - and though the 'company' page could probably be construed as a speedy candidate itself (a different version was already speedied), I wanted to make sure that there was a consensus behind deleting in the hope of preventing further reposting. There is a means for posting similar pages under a single AFD vote, which I would've tried to do had I known of the duplicate at the time the first went up. Given that it's been a couple of days, though, I'd rather put it up for a separate vote just to be on the safe side. --DMG413 16:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
