D69ers

Non-notable, poss. vanity. Minor Mugglenet-based "message board club". Less than 100 Google hits. Kwekubo 00:43, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. There does not seem to be anything special about this particular forum, certainly nothing that would merit an article. non-notable, probably vanity. Rje 01:02, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Don't Delete This group is special because of the "strange" way they were created. How big they are: they may not have a lot of members but that doesn't mean that people don't know about them! They are like my second family! they've supoprted me when times got rough, and even, for instance, when one of our members developed cancer and the d69ers (I was new when it was going on) sent her a book with "get well soon" handwritten and drawn cards via snail mail! I think that makes them special! Saphira_the_Dragon (D69) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.30.69 (talk • contribs) 05:58, 21 August 2005

I vote with Saphira. Why does this particular forum deserve it's own page? Because of the history of resiliency and the level of Maturity and kindness displayed; unique in the wealth of Harry Potter fansites. So great is the reputation of the group that Mugglenet (who, as it happens, recieved the very first Fan Site Award from JK Rowling, author of the books) not only put The D69ers on the page of links, but put them at the top. -WarnerRaider — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.121.107 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 21 August 2005

• Did spawn a notable amount of trolls during the MuggleNet VfD process, but I'd still say Delete. (Also, have done IP attribs on the anons.) Marblespire 05:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Despite WarnerRaider's claims to the contrary, The D69ers appear at the top of Mugglenet because they appear to come first alphabetically. Irregardless, this may very well be a nice group to its members, but not noteworthy enough to warrant an entry in an encylopedia. -- Corey.spring 05:35, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable. The people on the mentioned forum may be special, but that does not make them relevant for an encyclopaedia. --Camw 03:39, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Cool enough to look at it and vote delete, and hide the username from non-users. Proud of your vote then, I can see... Oh, and I'd prefer you don't put my IP on this, especially since I did put my username right on this. Ah, I can't say that I'm glad you picked up on that, however shocked I am that you did, Corey.Spring . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warnerraider (talk • contribs) 14:49, 23 August 2005

• Comment. It appears that a number of people have been directed to this page who have little or no experience with the Wikipedia or with its established policies. I suggest to them to read through Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers, Wikipedia:Five pillars and Wikipedia:Deletion policy before posting here. --Kwekubo 20:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep An excellent example of how an online community can be brought together by a common topic (Harry Potter), and can grow into a supportive group. First-rate Harry Potter discussions, very open community. Hopefully other online communities can learn from their example. KiwiChi6 9:22, August 24, 2005
