Proposed deletion of Oakland toast

The article Oakland toast has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Dubious notability and probable complete WP:OR.

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.

Do not create hoaxes

edit

  Please do not add hoaxes to Wikipedia, such as you did in the article Oakland toast. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia in an attempt to test our ability to detect and remove such material. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thank you. JJ98 (talk) 07:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
