== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fuck the South 2 == 

 Sir, it sounds as though the reason you believe this article (Fuck the South) should be kept is because: 1) the site is notable due to how illustrative it is of the depth of the divide between red & blue states (per Unfocused); 2) you endorse the site; 3) the site prevented your suicide; 4) the article is not an attack page, as the South is akin to Nazi Germany; and 5) this is not just a hate site, because it pertains to your forefathers. Please correct me if I am mistaken. 

 I would like to say, with the deepest empathy to your and your ancestors' pasts, that all but the first are specious arguments in regards to the importance of this article within Wikipedia, and the first is itself under debate. The second does not have any bearing on the article's actual importance; many people vote to keep non-notable bands that they like in Wikipedia, even though they fail WP:MUSIC. The articles are always deleted, and should be. The third, although it must be important to you in a great way, does not relate to a standard that will allow this article's existence. Personal feelings, important as they are in all aspects of real life, do not have a place in an encyclopedia (imagine a version of the Encyclopedia Brittanica that said things like, "John Doe is such and such, and he is a great man, perhaps the greatest in the world"). The fourth is thoroughly your opinion, is thus your point of view, and I would say entirely inaccurate: that is a judgement of an entire region as filled with Nazis, and is horrible in the same way that a Southern racist's discrimination of all black people is horrible. Also remember that an article saying, "Nazism is bad," however true that may be, is not quantifiable, is an opinion, and is thus not neutral or worthy of being in an encyclopedia. (Note: I think that reading Godwin's law might be a good idea in terms of using such inflammatory comparisons in the future). The fifth is logically false, and even if it were true, does not prove this article notable enough to warrant an entry. 

 Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please consider your personal feelings and how they relate to building a good, accurate, encyclopedia. I advise you to read WP:5P and WP:NOT thoroughly. I can understand how much anger you feel against the South, but it is not a good reason to have Wikipedia abandon its sensibilities and keep an article because one hates something. 

 I hope you understand that I write this with the best intentions. Good luck, and my regards. Sincerely,  |
