Post 109898 by watercressprincess deleted for the following reason: This is terrible post in the first place, but the whois stuff points to the same person as a terrible post you had deleted years ago. This smells something awful. -- cortex

Post 109879 by ChuraChura deleted for the following reason: The main link here is a double, as is the second link; this could maybe be a re-do, with more animals or something. -- taz

Stunning nature photos
Post 109794 by Chocolate Pickle deleted for the following reason: This appears to be an unsourced image aggregator with a dubious revenue model, and we'd rather not send them the traffic. -- restless_nomad
Hope
Post 109792 by Wyatt deleted for the following reason: I totally appreciate you're trying to provide some context, but you've basically buried the actual meat in a pile of wikipedia pages and mefi site searches here in a way that is pretty distracting. Maybe a do-over that's a little clearer about the lede or just add this to one of the open OWS threads. -- cortex
Wal-Mart has a Black Friday to Forget
Post 109789 by orangeseed deleted for the following reason: We've got a couple of Black Friday posts already and this would fit fine there. -- restless_nomad

Interesting John Wilkes Booth - from Northwestern Historical Society
Post 109725 by mattnorthwesterncollege deleted for the following reason: Not totally sure what you are going for here, but maybe try this again tomorrow so it's clear that you are clear that you are making a post to MetaFilter and not asking a question in AskMe? -- jessamyn

It's that Seventies Show
Post 109681 by three blind mice deleted for the following reason: You appear to have quoted a crazypants Forbes article and are conflating things that are only nominally connected in this editorializing dogwhistle of a post that basically says "come fight with me" -- jessamyn

Press banned in occypy rallies
Post 109590 by armisme deleted for the following reason: I am sorry, I know OWS is a very big deal to the people in it, but posts about it have to not be editorializing and have to meet a decent standard, same as all newsfilter posts. If you'd like please put this into one of the Occupy threads currently in progress. -- jessamyn

Post 109579 by cheerwine deleted for the following reason: The previous thread is still open, and we can't really track every single new development with a dedicated post. -- taz

For The Record, Lolita Was Not Sexually Precocious — She Was Raped
Post 109577 by SkylitDrawl deleted for the following reason: We might be able to have a good post about the Marc Jacobs controversy, but this really isn't it. Maybe try again with more context, etc.? -- taz
Badmitten between Paine and Dilworth...
Post 109574 by DoubleLune deleted for the following reason: This seems like a bit inside baseball for a post out of context. -- cortex
Battle of the Assholes?
Post 109554 by oneswellfoop deleted for the following reason: Kind of feel like we've done it and then some with the Tiabbi-wrote-another-piece posts; as you note, there's a lot of previously. -- cortex

PRAISE BE TO TIA, GODDESS OF SHIT REDDIT SAYS
Post 109518 by The Devil Tesla deleted for the following reason: I dunno, there's something to be said for looking at how communities self-reflect but I'm not sure just pointing a spotlight at SRS mostly out of context is a great way to proceed. -- cortex
Whispering Apples
Post 109502 by jeffburdges deleted for the following reason: Wow, I realize how weird it is to delete this today, but this post is full of editorializing, first-person voice, and really is a your-own-blog kind of thing. If someone wants to do a more objective post on the Tor news, that's fine. -- taz

Tax the Churches
Post 109476 by homerica deleted for the following reason: This is a difficult topic that maybe needs to be fleshed out a little if you'd like to make a post on it, pointing to the moving target of the comments section in a major newspaper is maybe not the best way to do this. Please ask us if you have questions. -- jessamyn

Post 109385 by Superfrankenstein deleted for the following reason: It's a funny publishing gaffe as far as that goes but I'm not sure that's really a reason to have a metafilter thread about it. -- cortex

Democracy Inaction
Post 109229 by twoleftfeet deleted for the following reason: Kind of amusing, but really, we still have open threads on the aliens and the marijuana petition, so this seems like fairly well-trod ground at this point, and better in one of the other threads. -- taz

WyldLife: get 'em while they're young
Post 109226 by Lon Mem deleted for the following reason: With the sort of chatty personal/editorial tone of this, it reads more like a blog post than something for the front page of Mefi. Maybe rewrite and try again later if this is worth posting about as something other than just "look at this crappy organization". -- cortex

Post 109215 by timsneezed deleted for the following reason: This is sad but very much not the way a Metafilter post works. -- restless_nomad
Ashes to Ashes
Post 109201 by Artw deleted for the following reason: I'm sorry but we really pretty much have a "no kickstarter" rule here. Feel free to either redo the post tomorrow without the kickstarter link or sign them up for a MeFi account and we can put the project on the MeFi pack of kickstarter. Thanks. -- jessamyn

It's Heroin friday!
Post 109109 by Jonesisdying deleted for the following reason: This definitely needs more explanation if there's something other than a really loose theme of "heroin", plus the second link doesn't work, and the third has been posted twice before. -- taz
