What would you look like as an anime wolf?
Post 113365 by Minus215Cee deleted for the following reason: This is either a very subtle joke or just not very good, but judging by the pile of flags it seems like folks in general are leaning toward the latter. Nothing personal, Minus215Cee. -- cortex

D.C. archdiocese refused to administer communion to a lesbian
Post 113340 by deathpanels deleted for the following reason: That's pretty fucked but it's also "church representative pulls some shit in church, church higher ups say it was a bullshit move" and not a whole lot more to this post-wise. I feel like if there isn't more to this than just "here's a fucked up thing that happened" this post isn't a great idea. -- cortex
Attention, sports racers!
Post 113309 by mean cheez deleted for the following reason: I love Ze Frank to death and am very excited about this development, but we need to not do the "here's an active fundraising project in progress" as the meat of a mefi post. If someone wants to either post about Ze and The Show without the Kickstarter angle or to wait until the fundraising has closed, that'd be great. -- cortex
Rednecks and gay dudes hate each other. What I’ve noticed though is what they hate more than each other... sleeves.
Post 113297 by joannemerriam deleted for the following reason: This is a little too ad-like for Metafilter. You might try again if you'd like to do something that focuses more on the comedian and less on what seems like a promotional announcement. -- taz

An "apology" to President Karzai of Afghanistan on behalf of Americans
Post 113254 by sunnychef88 deleted for the following reason: It's not really clear who this person is or why this is an interesting statement (and the "news article" appears to be an uncurated blog post.) If this is worth talking about maybe provide some more context and try tomorrow? -- restless_nomad

Lawsuit claims Obama can't be president because he's 'mulatto'
Post 113193 by Blasdelb deleted for the following reason: While this is refreshingly direct, "crazy racist files crazy lawsuit" doesn't make for much of a post. -- restless_nomad
Visual Inception 2012
Post 113183 by verb deleted for the following reason: You appear to have posted this because you think it's a bad idea and yet your post is sort of written in this way that does not indicate why you are writing the post. People who knows what is going on find it misleading and leading to more OS Wars discussions on this, the site that is deathly tired of these OS Wars arguments. Maybe rephrase this and try again tomorrow if it's really important, with new phrasing? -- jessamyn

Why did the Hipster burn his mouth?
Post 113155 by Just this guy, y'know deleted for the following reason: This is just a super short article about many London restaurants not accepting reservations, and some seemingly random links to restaurant sites; maybe you could rework this a bit to be more informational about the trend or the London restaurant scene? -- taz

Post 113037 by sgranade deleted for the following reason: I appreciate you put some effort into this roundup, sgranade, but a lot of this got discussed already in the recent reddit post and I feel like we don't need yet another thread just to agree that jackasses on /r/Gaming did indeed act like jackasses. -- cortex

Khader Adnan
Post 112988 by finite deleted for the following reason: A few problems here: pull quote editorial slant (without quotations), and for background a single Op/Ed link and a song, plus outragefilter. I/P posts are sensitive, important, and notoriously difficult, so the bar is higher. Maybe try again with a more complete presentation? -- taz

Post 112883 by nickheer deleted for the following reason: I like Daring Fireball just fine but people who like it have read it and people who don't may think this is too much of a gushing Apple ad. Not sure how to do this well... more people talking about the same preso? Otherwise it's "more Gruber!" which, hey, okay, but maybe not for everyone. -- jessamyn

Post 112694 by latkes deleted for the following reason: The whole Matt-Tiabbi-Writes-Another-Political-Piece thing has kind of gotten done a lot on mefi at this point, if it's not something that's specifically extra important it probably doesn't need a post, otherwise it needs to be clear why it's an exceptional case. -- cortex

Post 112570 by ignorantguru deleted for the following reason: This seems almost more like an Ask Metafilter post in its present state, and very much like a quick item posted on a personal blog; maybe work it up into a more complete presentation and repost? Contact us if you have questions. -- taz
