Ok, my turn. Recently I've created: [[Adam Elliot]] (how did recent an Oscar-winning director not have an article?) [[Adam Elliot (missionary)]] (well, I couldn't let the ambiguity go could I....) [[Eric Harshbarger]] (builds lego stuff, I'm sure he'll get AfD'd) [[Kate McTell]] - I did a lot of research on this almost totally non-notable blues singer, who just happened to be married to a blues legend. I was hoping to get paid for the article, but the person offering the reward went AWOL 2 months ago :/ [[Mount Buggery]] - couldn't help myself [[Smooth call]] (poker term) [[Exposing to the right]] - photography term [[John Long (climber)]]
And just to match your [[Smart Display]], I have [[Smartglass]]...
I notice that the common thread in all of these articles (except Eric Harshbarger) was that I knew absolutely nothing whatsoever about the topic when I started writing them. Kind of a disturbing trend when you think about it, if Wikipedia is mostly written by people who know nothing about what they're writing about...
