Reirom
A google search finds half a dozen sites with this same strange misspelled quote and definition. Some sort if hoax surely. Rmhermen 16:23, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: like this? Anyway it isn't atributed even to anonym and means almost nothing. Not worthy to keep in my opinion. --Aphaia 17:14, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: Reirom is very known in the emulation scene, it redefined the concept of Troll, it is very famous in the EFNet. Some people and many tech-scenes says: Have two ages: before reirom, and after reirom. --Mateusc 00:03, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep --Oblivion 21:41, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete : Unless some understandable context can be provided for this peice of gibberish,it should be disposed of within the next week. It does not seem to be "very known" on the "emulation scene", nor have any common usage beyond the handful of google hits that have been mentioned, where it seems to have been posted in a similar fashion as on this wiki. It seems to be perhaps some personal prank or private code, neither widespread nor noteworthy beyond some very small clique, and perhaps merely the contrivance of some odd individual. ~ Kalki 14:43, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Amending my comment slightly: there does seem to be some reference of "Reirom" on some talk pages for emulation games dating back to at least 2000. But it still does not seem to be either very widespread, nor very clear what these statements refer to: and until there is some more information and clearer context provided, as to why this should be considered a "quotable" or "notable" statement of someone, I would still vote to delete. ~ Kalki 18:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Wait . Wikipedia has a similarly confusing article on Reirom, but they have 1,000 times the eyeballs to poll for hard details and references. I've VFD'd its page in the hopes that someone other than the contributors of these articles (on both sites) can substantiate it or confirm it to be unencylopedic. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 06:43, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I changed my vote because the Wikipedia article has now been deleted after an overwhelming vote (with only Wikipedia's Mateusc and an anonymous user dissenting). Furthermore, both our Mateusc and Oblivion above have exactly the same total contribution pattern at Wikiquote &mdash; recording their Reirom Keep votes here, creating a one-line User page, and tweaking Reirom, suggesting that they only registered here to vote against deletion, and that one may be a sockpuppet of the other. Finally, Mateusc has not responded to my request on their talk page that they provide some hard evidence of assertions that "Reirom" is somehow notable. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 14:54, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * NOTE: Aphaia just reverted vandalism of this page by an anon who removed all but the two Keep votes. I just reverted yet another removal of the vfd tag on the article itself and blocked the user for 24 hours for vandalizing VFD, after earlier removing two anon votes that were fraudulently masquerading as registered users. I am too involved in stopping these assaults (even while trying to get these people to actually make a case) to feel comfortable closing the vote, even though we're well past the two-week recommendation AND the Wikipedia page has been deleted by loud acclamation. Could some other sysop finalize this vote, please? &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 09:35, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Strongly delete: We need no vanity. --Aphaia 07:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) (Moved 09:22, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) by author herself)
