The article Prog Jokes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable neologism per WP:NEO, unreferenced, original research per WP:NOR, can't find anything about this online.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Top Jim (talk) 20:59, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Evidently you feel better having deleted what you termed a "very unprofessional" effort to bridge from Arabic to English on this page. Just as evidently, having put in that effort, I feel it's just a loss of an effort that helped the page. It was all sourced. It could (have) be(en) improved. By even a professional, should we be so fortunate. (I notice you didn't cite any Wikipedia policy that requires professionalism. ... Sort of runs against the whole idea, if you ask me; at least at some level. Professionalism is not forbidden, of course, but required?) Now my effort's just gone. Is that really best? What about an Arabic-speaking professional who now comes to the page? Would s/he feel more or less inclined to work on a bridge, with nothing started there?
For the record, another editor has been making good efforts to encourage a definition of the word on Wiktionary. ... But just deleting my effort? This is sort of discouraging. Particularly given the reason that I worked on it in the first place, the reason I'm sure many others came to it, these recent days. The professional politicians and media didn't do such great jobs at Tahrir Square in the last couple weeks, right? What's cool about deleting my effort? Any thoughts?

July 2011 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Smash Mouth are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 00:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
