Update: I count 7 votes to delete and 3 to keep. I'll now delete Stain Internet Cafe. -- Wile E. Heresiarch 07:40, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Advertisement for a minor company; goes as far as to list prices. A line like "The cafe features local artwork at the behest of Pascal Osti, but he doesn't want to stop locally" suggests that this was written by Osti himself. Bamos 01:39, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Well, it's not an advertisement. I wrote it, and my name is Marlowe Revilla, I've prevented creating a user login because it is frowned upon where I am right now. I used to go there and thought if anyone was searching for an example of an internet cafe this would be a good one. I can remove the prices if it really offends you so much.

Still a no go hey? Okay, well, I guess I'll just bite the bullet and create a user. Could you maybe post a link to a wikipage that has a list of rules for good site contributions?

  • Sounds like an interesting place, but if that article was allowed, it would be a slippery slope letting everyone advertise in the Wikipedia. That's really the main reason articles like that are taboo. You might want to check out How to write a great article and Wikipedia:Style and How-to Directory. You write well and seem to have handled this experience quite well. I hope you do continue to contribute and I hope to see you around the Wikipedia. SWAdair | Talk 03:52, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep this is one of the big internet cafes in Victoria where I live. Burgundavia 07:35, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not encyclopedic. Wyllium 12:38, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete EddEdmondson 12:42, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless the original poster or someone else removes the puffery and admiring comments and makes it a truly NPOV description, in which case I would probably be inclined to change my vote to Keep. Addendum, I also think the article name should be changed to Stain Internet Cafe (Victoria, BC) and Stain Internet Cafe made a redirect, both to be more informative and for possible future disambig, in case there are or may be others.
  • Keep and improve, interesting as example of an internet cafe, or move bits in generalized form to Internet cafe.--Patrick 15:28, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep gets my vote. The guy who wrote the article is obviously a genius and deserves recognition for his work. --Marlowe 00:05, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)
    • This comment was made by Destinova who claims the page as his own contribution. For future reference, trying to call yourself a genius generally makes you look like a fool. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:09, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, there's nothing seperating this from the masses of other internet cafes. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:09, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Ha, I forgot to put my timestamp on that comment there. I'm a relatively new user and this has been known to happen with just about all the comments I've made anywhere on Wikipedia. However, I believe you are quite wrong in your observation, sir. Not to argue semantics, but I wasn't trying to call myself a genius. I did call myself a genius. The reason, most obviously lost on a humourless goit like yourself, was to add a certain levity to the situation in which I was felt some levity was needed. I have been corrected in my err and was performing a jest to draw attention away from the fact that I made that site (which I now know I shouldn't have) in the first. Now, not quite sure if it was merely because I forgot my timestamp or because you like making piss-poor observations where they are very unwelcome and extremely unwarrented, but it would be appreciated if you keep your pithy, obnoxious and poorly-written tripe to yourself. If you're unaware how, try searching yourself as a user and clicking "discussion" whereupon you can make as many dim-witted comments as you want. --Marlowe 00:05, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)

EDIT: Damn, I forgot the timestamp again. --Marlowe 00:05, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)

    • Actually, you originally called yourself a "genious", my apologies for not getting that right. If you think referring to yourself as a genius is funny, then I suggest that you refrain from calling other people's senses of humor into question. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:17, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Heh, so, let's be clear on this, just for my benefit. You placate and insult me and now you're arguing me something I'm not arguing (what I originally wrote), and just for good measure you throw in one last insult and tell me not to bring your poor sense of humour into this? Any unbiased observer will remark that you're in the wrong. I did nothing to warrent your hurtful comments. I'm not looking for an apology however, so lets just end this before your preaching of foolish behavior makes you look any more foolish. --Marlowe 03:11, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. There's already a decent article on internet cafes out there. I'm not sure we need an entry on every single one individually. Joyous 19:52, Jun 17, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: nonnotable. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:59, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
