Speedy deletion of Threenie

A tag has been placed on Threenie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kanonkas, Take Contact (talk) 19:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Threenie

Hi Pigsmoke,

Not sure if you knew it or not, but the podcast you referenced was an April Fool's gag. I've deleted the Threenie page; your {{hangon}} request would not have resulted an anyone finding legitimate additional sources, because there aren't any. --barneca (talk) 19:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I thought of that, but as far as I've always known, April Fools have to be done before noon. If you do it after noon, the joke's on you and you're the fool. Since it played on AIH, (which starts at 6:30 pm) I didn't think it was possible that it was a fool. Apparently the CBC is the fool.
