Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aza raskin
Page was initially speedily deleted by myself as it appeared to be badly named vanity (Aza raskin is listed as the manager of a website) however a complaint from the creator of the article on my talk page made me rethink my decision and I have since restored it. I still think it doesn't appear notable. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:20, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: We don't advertise websites, and the article is about the website, not the person. The person appears to be a minor player in the article on his/her own name, in fact, and the article establishes its context so poorly that it's hard to tell what it's about. Non-encyclopedic.

- Delete. An article about Jef Raskin would be nice though... oh, there is one already. --Ianb 21:00, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete - Having read the Guidlines with care, I concure with Graham's decision to DELETE the page. As a newcommer I did not realise that the level of care and consideration for fragmentation (detailing) of subject matter ran so high. Please accept my apologies for the misnomer. -Mr. Aza Raskin is unaware of my posting, which, by the way, was made in good faith, as a matter of information on the person who is the coding architect for 'THE' on behalf of Jef Raskin (who does not code as I understand it). It would have been nice however had Graham elected first to investigate, say hello, attempt to have a brief dialogue with the writer, prior to deletion. perhaps an effort to add to or correct the situation. Any blind mob can destroy, but it takes a true artist to find the usefullness in the appearantly dull. -After all, wikipedias are for the benefit of the people, to bring people closer together, not the reverse. When one removes the civil and humane element from the process... its just the same as any other encyclopedia or self-centered endeavor. My original text to Graham is on the "User talk:Proton44" page should anyone care to read it. Congratulations! a splendid job at making the world feel welcome... Vanity? hmmmm... one wonders... Please delete the offending page post haste with my blessing and be of good cheer!!! The writer.
PS: this page was very enlightning: Pet_rock just the sort of information every school child should know. It has had a profound effect on me already in the past 24 hours alone! --Proton44 03:31, 2004 Sep 18 (UTC)
- Delete. The project may be notable, but the guy who runs the website isn't. Also, article is misnamed: unless he's one of those goofballs who likes to be "creative" with capitalization, it should be "Aza Raskin". — Gwalla | Talk 03:36, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree that an article on the project might be acceptable. Jallan 15:57, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
