Today, Ja Rule was nominated for deletion because, "There are no references or sources to back up any of the information in the article."
I still think it should be deleted, at least all content that is not referenced, after all, he may be a hoax.
Ha.

Can't we community sanction stupid Afds?
Penalizing people for "being stupid" is an interesting approach. Tell us more. We could make a list of all the stupid people can be, and accord penalties for each... :-\

In all fairness this is one of the few times I've seen anyone make a monumental mistake in a nomination and realize it, but that wouldn't have made the post any fun. Still it would taken less of his time to realize that Ja Rule is a bit too well known to be nominated for deletion for being non-notable, than it took to prepare the AfD.
But, still, no penalties for people smart enough to realize when they've acted stupidly. And, Steve, I think it would be too long for a list.

[[List of stupid things]], maybe? (Anyone actually creating that gets a troutwhack, especially since it'll be 50 gigabytes long and still far from completion.)
Also, I fail to see how the occasional poor decision in nominating for AfD leads people to yell that it's broken. The AfD quite correctly attracted tons of keep opinions and was correctly snowballed as such. Looks like AfD worked just fine right there, a page that shouldn't have been deleted was never in danger of it.
That being said, lack of sourcing -is- a serious issue. I had to remove a whole section from that article about "Disputes". Musician or not, it is a BLP, and we can't just have unsourced stuff about legal problems and the like in there.
