Save the Midnight Rider!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>If you've ever used Wikipedia, someone with a mysterious issue against the Rider (what could it BEEEEEE) has nominated his article for Deletion.&nbsp; Shock of shockers, the user's name is &quot;Whackbagger&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Midnight_Rider">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Midnight_Rider</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>SAVE THE RIDER!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The person that wants it deleted is in the right here.&nbsp; Not much in the article is based on actual facts.&nbsp; The article should probably be merged with another one, but I'm not sure with which one.&nbsp; Maybe if the Rider's true identity is ever revealed we could merge it with that one.

Well he is a man of mystery.&nbsp; Maybe it is better he is not on there.

I don't know how to vote to keep or delete.&nbsp; Someone hip me to that.

[Death Metal Moe]

<p>Anyone?&nbsp; I don't see the fucking button to vote to Keep or Delete anywhere.&nbsp; I've never signed up for Wiki but I just did.&nbsp; Some help would be appeciated, especially since this was a thread asking for help to keep the topic.</p><p>If I have to figure out the code I will just forget about it and the page will get deleted.</p>

[FlashVirus]

<p>go to the link, then click the &quot;edit this page&quot; tab. Next just put in &quot;keep&quot; right below the last poster.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Midnight_Rider&amp;action=edit</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>oh yeah and you dont' have to sign up for wiki to edit things. &nbsp;</p>

I'm honestly not sure that I disagree with the deletion of a separate page for the Rider.&nbsp; Only time will tell the relative importance of the character, and I think it may be premature to give him his own page.

yea the article should be deleted and it really doesn't matter that the guy who nominated it has a bias (even though if he hadn't, no one else would've noticed), but this is pretty funny...

Actually, one more thing, and this is key to your entire argument, Whackbagger - do you have a VERIFIABLE (key word) reference that states Rider is East Side Dave?

[vegeta]

<p>I think there are ways around this. You could include Midnight Rider in the Ron &amp; Fez page only, include Midnight Rider in the FALSE Midnight Rider (allegedy Dusty Rhodes) wiki page uned a section called &quot;Other Incarnations&quot; or include him in a subsection in the East Side Dave bio, since they are so closely tied together.&nbsp;</p>

Why doesn't JR use the same theme song as his pop?&nbsp; He's using the Allman Bros version.
