The Lambeth Walk

[edit]

Amateurish, non-notable. --Woohookitty 06:56, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Next time mark this for speedy delete. Gamaliel 06:59, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Looks like I jumped the gun. Keep after Nunh-huh's changes. Gamaliel 07:08, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable dance. RickK 07:06, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep —Mar·ka·ci 07:13, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Famous song. Oi! -- Derek Ross | Talk 07:15, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
  • Keep - Mailer Diablo 07:18, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect: Me and My Girl could have been done in 90 seconds. Songs from shows usually need to be in context, unless the articles are just too long— over 32 kilobytes for a start— but check that Times headline: possibly bogus. --Wetman 07:22, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Redirect: based on the context argument Courtland {2005-01-30 USA ~14:20 EST}
  • Keep This is one of the most famous British songs of the first half of the 20th century Philip 10:37, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Nunh-huh has done a really good job of saving this. RickK 07:32, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Gee. I think that Nunh-huh is trying to make me look bad. lol --Woohookitty 07:43, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Nah, it's just that I'm old enough to remember this<g> - Nunh-huh 07:47, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I knew that there was an article here, and I also knew that the original wasn't it. Hence the liberal plastering with pretty coloured boxes. My vote was, and is, Keep. I'm pleased to see the Wikipedia process in action. Uncle G 12:37, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
  • Keep, great article. Samaritan 14:41, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Vfd is not a cleanup request. Alrigh' me old china? -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 15:02, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Did you look at the original? It was a teenager's diary entry. Perfectly legit listing. Gamaliel 18:38, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes but a google search would have revealed that this is quite an old and well-known song in London history, for which I would have either sent it to cleanup or cleaned it up myself. I wouldn't have listed it here. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 19:18, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • ... which were my reasons and actions exactly. ☺ Uncle G 20:03, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
  • Keep. Another example of people using VFD for spurious purposes. VFD is not Cleanup.--Centauri 21:53, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Hitler would disapprove, so I approve. --SPUI 23:45, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Me and My Girl, no need to have a seperate article on this. Megan1967 01:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Good re-write. Jayjg (talk) 03:40, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Listing it on VfD was probably a mistake, but 'using VFD for spurious purposes' is a bit strong, isn't it? Mattley 19:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
There seems to have been a rash of recent VFD listings for articles that merely need cleanup or expansion. I think my choice of words is a pretty accurate way of describing the actions of those responsible.--Centauri 22:47, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Um rather than "merely need cleanup or expansion" I would put it as "contain nothing usable". Kappa 16:35, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Oi! Edeans 05:27, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
