What can I do to get this deletion stopped? I guess very few people remember that the web was virtually non-existent when the league played from 1987-1989, so posting articles and pictures from the team and the league hasn't been done as well as it should've been. Not, in my humble opinion, a reason to go on a vendetta to get the article deleted. I'm only trying to stop the deletion of the article from wikipedia. Not cause you a problem.

I hope these help clarify the situation.
Also, the Golddiggers played before capacity crowds, including standing room, at San Jose Civic Auditorium (capacity 2,200)
for virtually every match in team history. The team could've drawn more, but the arena was too small. MLV awarded the Golddiggers as host city for the 1987 finals and the 1989 All Star Match as a reward for their attendance numbers. I understand that 2,200 isn't a huge crowd, but if attendance figures were a criteria for relevance,
most minor league baseball and hockey teams would not be deemed as relevant.

Volleyball Monthly magazine covered the league extensively, ESPN televised the MLV match of the week, All Star Matches and the MLV finals, both of which were, unfortunately lost by the Golddiggers.

I am researching more info from the San Jose Mercury-News newspaper,
the city of San Jose and the San Jose Chamber of Commerce as well as ESPN and Fox Sports Bay Area (formerly known as SportsChannel Bay Area). When I have more to give you I will add it here on your talk page.

Please note, I will respond on your talk page. Thank you.

Hi Undead warrior, I was wondering if you could comment on this edit? To clarify the reasoning, could you leave a comment on the talk page? - Tbsdy lives (talk) 09:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Metal and Satan

I'm a pleb where music's concerned, a lover of Shakira. I was just wondering, is Black Metal the type of metal, out of all the types of metal music, whose lyrics etc. are the most concerned with Satan? I ask out of curiosity and also out of wondering if my AfD notification was given to the right metal wikiproject. I know most metallers aren't satanists really, but thought as the phrase Hail Satan is sometimes used by bands and fans, a wikiproject might have an opinion on it.Sticky Parkin 04:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to say I've removed the section including my request at the metal project, because the nominator accused me of "canvassing" although IMHO my request was neutral, hope you don't mind. I just don't need the hellish torment of the AfD being started all over again. But thank you for your comments. Sticky Parkin 22:09, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For standing up for what you considered to be right, which happened to support The Side that Will Always Win(I'm just joking) in an AfD. Rock on! Or whatever you metalheads say lol, H.S. :)Sticky Parkin 21:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Undead warrior. I noticed that you removed the stub tag from Ephebic Oath. How is that article not a stub? Thanks, -- Avocado (talk) 18:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martin John Callanan

If you think that Martin John Callanan should be speedied, please explain why in the AfD on it that was going on when you attached the speedy deletion request (which I have removed), and which is still going on now. Thank you (and no reply needed, though a response at the AfD would be welcome). -- Hoary (talk) 03:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here is your edit: see how you slapped the speedy-delete request above an AfD notice. If you think that the AfD is unnecessary and that the article should instead be speedied, feel free to say so at the AfD. -- Hoary (talk) 05:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

San Jose Golddiggers

Hi Undead warrior, In regards to the placing of the San Jose Golddiggers article for deletion, I have some information I'd like to pass on to you in an effort to stop the deletion of this article.

Google isn't the only legitimate reference source for info on the internet. Yahoo was several listings other than Wikipedia to use as references. The list includes:

[1]

[2]

[3]

[4]

[5] (this one gets the team name wrong, but that is the only mistake)

The league was televised by ESPN and I have VHS tapes of games somewhere in my storage locker, literally a couple of hundred game action photographs, MLV volleyballs, programs, media guides, a pennant, etc. from the Golddiggers. I even have the advertising tape for DHL Courier Service that was on the net for the final match in Major League Volleyball history, the 1989 MLV All Star Game.

This isn't a hoax, the Golddiggers really existed from 1987-1989. I hope this info helps clesr up the misunderstanding.

Thank you for your time, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill swanson (talkcontribs) 06:49, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re: Golddiggers

My sources are not reliable ?

Are you seriously trying to tell me that Texas A&M 's bio for their volleyball coach is not reliable?? What do you think? We aren't inventing this information. Do you think we are all hallucinating??

Why do you want to kill the article? Do you have a problem with the Golddiggers having existed? Why would we perpetuate a myth on Wikipedia? I was a season-ticket holder for the Golddiggers and one of my best friends at the time was one of their team photographers. ESPN televised the league, were they imagining it too?

Google is NOT a reliable judge of whether anything existed prior to Google's existence. The net doesn't care if anyone remembers the team. We that cared for Major League Volleyball and the San Jose Golddiggers are the ones who want to remember. You dispute the info without reason. I can't recall asking Texas A&M to fake their coaches bio. Come on, be real here. I'm not the only person who gave you a website to check.

Please don't wreck it for those who care about the Golddiggers being remembered.--Bill swanson (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re: re: Golddiggers

Undead warrior - I did not post this article, I only added to it. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was responding to you saying my sources weren't reliable, which is questioning my integrity and also my intellect.

Minor fringe sports, as some like to call them, are, by nature not well covered by the media, including the internet. Saying the team was a hoax is ludicrous. What do I need to do, send you a copy of a videotape of a match on ESPN? Would that be deemed reliable? Photos?

Why is this a difficult thing to accept for you. I have given you several sites, whether Geocities or not, I didn't create ANY of them, don't know the people who did. Another poster offered you another one. Just because a stupid search engine doesn't find much on the team doesn't mean it didn't exist.

What can I do to get this deletion stopped? I guess very few people remember that the web was virtually non-existent when the league played from 1987-1989, so posting articles and pictures from the team and the league hasn't been done as well as it should've been. Not, in my humble opinion, a reason to go on a vendetta to get the article deleted. I'm only trying to stop the deletion of the article from wikipedia. Not cause you a problem.

I hope these help clarify the situation. Also, the Golddiggers played before capacity crowds, including standing room, at San Jose Civic Auditorium (capacity 2,200) for virtually every match in team history. The team could've drawn more, but the arena was too small. MLV awarded the Golddiggers as host city for the 1987 finals and the 1989 All Star Match as a reward for their attendance numbers.
