Radioheadesque

• Neologism? — Kieff | Talk 22:48, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
• I vote for deletion. This material should be included in the main Radiohead page, and we don't need an article for the adjective form of every rock band that exists. Padraic 18:22, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Post-Britpop is most fitting than Radioheadesque... the contributor must have had too much eggnog when he started this article on Dec. 25.
• Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:18, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - You could combine anything with "-esque." Radioheadesque has page results of "656." There is no Wikipedia article about "Marioesque" which according to some web results describes a game that resembles the "Super Mario" games. The page results "664." Even some people have used the phrase "Newtonesque" to describe the defunct Apple PDA or the famous scientist. --Anonymous Cow 01:46, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "Goatsesque" has only 29 google hits. Klonimus 06:00, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Do we have an article on Esque (suffix)? If so may want to redirect there on general principle. Otherwise, delete. Radiant_* 08:39, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • We don't have an article on the suffix, although if we did it should be at -esque to match other suffixes (see List of English suffixes). I note that Wiktionary also doesn't have an entry for it. Thryduulf 15:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Reasoning From the Scriptures

• delete I created this page as well as some others which I want to consolidate. Aid to Bible Understanding and Insight on the Scriptures. Aid has already been marked for deletion by someone else, I am going to mark Reasoning also. george 00:21, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• keep but make it a redirect or a very short page that then refers the reader to the consolidated pages mentioned above. This is a particular book; it deserves a separate page. (anonymous) 3:26, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:25, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Provisional Keep Might I suggest the creation of a unified page on JW Bible Commentaries. That said I belive that most texts put out by major religion's theological press are encyclopedic. Klonimus 03:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment Thanks, I actually already started it with the 'merge' Reference works of Jehovah's Witnesses George 13:52, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• If by 'consolidate' you mean 'merge', you don't need VfD for that. I should point out that the title is wrongly capitalized, btw. Abstain until Wikiproject:religion comments on it. Radiant_* 08:39, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

Thank You, the 'From' in the title is capitalised on the book's cover. Is this what you are referring to? George

Red vs Blue episode guide, Red Vs. Blue episode guide: Season 2, Red Vs. Blue episode guide: Season 3

I nominate this page for deletion for the crimes of fancruft-dom and complete misuse of an encyclopedia. If much larger series don't qualify for this type of extensive Episode Guide Treatment, neither does this fancruft nonsense.--TheGrza 07:05, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Um... I'd like to call for a resolution on this issue. It's been two weeks, guys. Time to acknowledge, shake hands, and move on. Joylock 3:42, April 26, 2005.

• Merge While an episode guide is probably not deserving of an article, the VfD/Precidents seems to indicate that precident says we merge all information on the series into a central article, in this case on RvB. Whether or not episode guids are encyclopedic; I would tend to say that in a limited way, yes, they can be. Should Wikipedia echo tvtome, I don't think so. nb. The Simpsons has a very successful episode guide "List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes" TheDaveRoss 15:16, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. An episode list, I have no problem with, but the guide goes too far. --TheGrza 17:12, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:28, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I wouldn't want articles on each individual episode, but I'm happy with the list. Radiant_* 08:38, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Marginal Keep based upon precedent but condense a little. Some of the formatting here makes it almost look like a cut-and-paste from a fan site, so I'd check for copyvio. Wikipedia is not paper argument applies here, IMO. 23skidoo 13:41, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge all info into one 'episode guide' article, maybe condense a bit. --InShaneee 16:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I agree with Radiant on this. Does need a cleanup though K1Bond007 23:23, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. Cleanup and simplify the articles' information, merge it into a single article, and give it a name List of Red vs. Blue episodes so people don't confuse its purpose for an episode guide. --NormanEinstein 02:07, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and condense. The reason these were put on separate pages was that the main RvB page was getting towards 64k. I suggest merging all three guides and condensing info. Last several episodes entries are nearly blow by blow accounts. And they give away all the jokes.--DooMDrat 09:09, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable. Grue 19:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into one episode guide. bob rulz 04:36, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and possibly condense to season-wide summaries. So little happens in any given episode that per-episode descriptions are a little pointless. Should be pointed out, however, that as far as Google tells me, these pages is not copyvio--there ARE no other RvB episode guides on the Internet, except for copies of these pages. (Old ones too--they don't reflect my Apr 2nd cleanups.) Delete. Have just discovered full episode transcripts at http://rvb.chrismarks.net/. That, plus the new season-by-season summaries on the main article, is enough to change my vote. Marblespire 02:12, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - As far as I can tell, this information is not widely available, and I can personally testify that most of the info here is original and not a cut-and-paste job. NOTE: While I'd be fine with a merge and slight condensation of the episode summaries (although EP 49 is the only one that seems like problematic to me), I think too much deletion (such as reducing it all to a general season by season account) would be going too far. Because RvB is broken up into so many small episodes, it's good to have information as to what happens in each individual episode so you know what you've missed if you don't have the entire set (which alot of people don't). Someone's already streamlined the descriptions considerably, I think it's fine the way it stands. Joylock 2:00, 15 April 2005.
• Keep The precedent for episode guides/lists is well established. It serves no purpose to strip an episode “guide” down to an episode “list” as a list of titles is virtually useless information, while a guide can provide useful encyclopedic information. Miros 9:25, 16 April 2005
  • Comment Also, some web cartoons such as the Homestar Runner set have entire articles devoted to single characters. If that doesnt qualify as fancruft, then I dont see how an "episode guide" for this web series can, considering everything else is rolled into one article. Miros
    • Comment Some would and have argued that those articles completely qualify as worth deleting. The standard should be better then crappy unneeded articles, it should whether or not it is actually encyclopedic.--TheGrza 19:28, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment I agree, it's easy to be excessive with things like this. But I would also argue that it does have some value, and so long as it's confined to a relatively small number of pages, it does more good than harm. And as far as the articles being needed or unneeded, I see that as a poor way of looking at things. There are plenty of legit articles on wikipedia that nobody needs but there are plenty of articles that people find useful. I certainly think that this has the potential to be useful to some people for some of the good reasons people have already pointed out. And as long as it's useful to some, and harmless to everyone else (since we are talking about 3 total articles here), the obvious greater benefit is to keep it. Without it, there is no benefit to anybody. With it, there is no harm, and benefit to some. Miros 20:06, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, there are quite a few episode guides on Wikipedia... Soemone could merge these into one article but personally I think the article would be a bit too long however I suppose all it would need is a good TOC. -- Lochaber 09:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, reasons stated. Google "Red vs Blue" or "redvsblue" and you'll see how notable this is.-LtNOWIS 15:10, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment It's a sad, sad day that reflects the fundamental flaws of Wikipedia when a amateur web comic about a video game made by a couple of fanboys gets four pages of fancruft, while a perfectly legitimate art movement THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS IN REAL FRICKIN' LIFE gets VFD out of existence just because there aren't thousands of rabid fanboys on the internet smearing it all around. Grza, I feel your pain. 166.666.666.011.
  • Comment Just because some of your legit content got VfD'd (wrongfully or otherwise) does not mean you should go on a crusade against whatever content you feel you can blast out of existance. I'm sorry about that, it sounds like it shouldnt have happened, but this is a community, and retribution isn't very neighborly... Miros 12:25, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment RvB is more than just "a amateur web comic about a video game made by a couple of fanboys". It is an example of machinima, an emerging artform if ever there was one. If anything it gave machinima new direction, showing that episode based series are more successful than singular long movies. It also gave a lot more exposure to machinima. Some of the people behind RvB have television production experience. Its not just 'fanboys' standing around recording themselves ingame going "bang bang you're dead stooopid! Dur hur hur!". Hell, the people behind the series aren't even very good at the games.--DooMDrat 18:50, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
• It's not really "about" Halo, certainly not as much asM*A*S*H was about the Korean War. Yeah, they'll mock the genre and the absurdities of the environments from time to time, but it really is about characters and plots, not satire. Also, it's not as "amateur" as a lot of legitimate works of art. They sell DVDs and merchandise, and make people pay to see the archive. But, I understand your frustration. I was pretty sad when I found the Star Destroyer articles got merged. If you're sad about something getting sub-optimal treatment on Wikipedia, you're perfectly free to start you're own wiki site, like Star Wars fans did.-LtNOWIS 03:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • OK, I'm assume that's true, and I'll conceed that RvB is professional made. I'll even let it be said that it's quality-comparable to mainstream TV shows (certainly, the resolution is higher). Because the point remains that excessive coverage of it is still excessive. Take the Seinfeld page. A brief description about the show, the stars, and the general impact on pop culture. That's all there is. That's all that's needed. That's all there should be. Do we really need to know Kramer's favorite blend of cigar, all of Jerry's personal issues, or what a friggin Soup Nazi is? Remember, compare African art to La La, and see the fundamental flaw in Wikipedia's design. 166.666.666.011

• Well, your point now looks a whole lot more valid. But the fact of the matter is, people care more about some stuff than others, and people mostly write about stuff they know/care about. Maybe nerds, fans, and gamers are overrepresented online, but nothing stops anyone from expanding neglected topics. Furthermore, more is simply a lot better than less, when it comes to content. Despite this flaw and others, Wikipedia is still the best encyclopedia we've got, and it's free. -LtNOWIS 21:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If I may comment, that's precisely the point. The encyclopdia is in as good as shape as it is because people have fought to keep this fancruft out, to a large extent. An article describing the show, fine, but the actual article of Red Vs. Blue along with three seperately huge episode guides goes too far.--TheGrza 21:48, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Respectfully, I have to totally disagree with anonymous. Take Seinfeld, for example. There IS an article about the Soup Nazi, and I believe that it is perfectly appropriate. The phrase was huge back in the 90's. It's more than just mere "pop culture". It's hard to put into words, but it's like it's become part of our society's collective social dialogue. Also, without the dedicated article to Cosmo Kramer, I would have never learned that he was based on a real guy. Sure, that info might not save anyone's life or bring them enlightenment or cure cancer or get them to vote for the right candidate or get involved in the right social issues, but it is interesting and informative and not hurting anyone. If you think an article is poorly written with embarassing or unprofessional grammer or outright lies, you can always edit it. As LtNOWIS said, nothing stops you from expanding neglected topics you think are worthwhile. But if you want to actually delete topics because you think that the information in an article is just "useless", than you might just be imposing your own POV on something you don't know all that much about. Who's to say Seinfeld is any less worthy of coverage than Gödel's incompleteness theorem? Both provide information that is useful to different types of people. RvB isn't some vanity page about some brief animation a bunch of neighborhood kids cooked up in their basement for their friends. It's not a neighborhood cafe frequented by at most three dozen people. It's a professionally made piece of media with a HUGE following on the internet numbering on the hundreds of thousands. Joylock 12:00, Apr 21, 2005.

Also, as far as Wikipedia standards go, the article on Red vs. Blue is very restrained, very conservative. All the information on the show is merged into one single article that just gives a brief summary of the story and a couple paragraphs for each character, which is not unreasonable seeing as how the show so heavily revolves around the characters. Compare that to, say, the Futurama article that has information about the show's fictional politics, religion, and seperate articles for each character. Joylock 12:00, Apr 21, 2005.

Road House

Page is a review of Road House and is more of a review than a description of the film. Also talks about how the writer watched a bootleg of the movie and some questionable quotes. I think at a minimum this page should be edited down or deleted all together. Steve Eifert 10:27, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep both films deserve the same treatment as all the other films in the Wikipedia. Serious re-writing needs to be done, sure, but keep none the less. Besides that, I liked the more recent of the two... :P Dismas 20:14, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cleanup. I have also heard this movie referenced by Ron White in his stand-up acts on the Blue Colar Comedy Tour. The reference was made in his rant about bouncers in a New York bar.

Most probably taken from the journal of the The O'Donoghue Society (issue 22, April 2005, the story entitled "The O’Donoghue Cup – the story of an athlete"). I've contacted them to find out whether it is their text, and if so, whether they'd license it under the GFDL. Lupo 07:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable, wikipedia is not a memorial, possible copyright violation. Megan1967 07:35, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well,well.if certain why this isn t no database or any similar,but i putting these references for if any interest,decided to ampled any particular theme,of japanese empire,can to see these historic titles why for supposelly some certain libraires poses.if for historical porposes too.

if only refference pourpose only.the unique section why i deleting , if reffering at U.S. and Japanese influence zone clash,debt at why this having enormous this bibliography,i when putting this section if for why this is other cause for U.S.-Japanese frictions in pacific area(United States Guam island and others american islands versus Japanese held Micronesia(south pacific mandate)and the clash of strategical commercial routes,etc.but still your importance i decided to delete this.

reiterrally these refferences if for interest,i knowed perfectly why any common persons no regulary used this,but if acase exist any interest can to ampled knowledge respect of any topic relationed.

one real thing if why reffering at Empire of Japan general bibliography ,knowed why stay disorder,but i having to organized and subdivided in themes ad topics.

well,if still decided to delete,i respect your decision,but i only liked to present this for ampled the know at possibly interest in topic one theme very scarcy in any type of source,one reality why know perfectly...

• Delete While I personally think that good long bibliographies would be a good thing for Wikipedia, I think that they should be incorporated into articles. A major flaw of this bibliography is that the most recent work, as far as I can tell, is from 1943. I assume that many of these works have been superseded. Also a great deal has happened in Japan since then. Dsmdgold 18:57, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect I think this should be up someplace, like at the end of an article on Japan, but does not deserve an article in itself. Dr Ingel 01:23, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Wikipedia has eight List of Pokémon entries. Why is a scholarly bibliography of the single most important belligerent state in Asia during the last century (or two or three) less valuable than eight lists of fictitious creatures? This bibliography shows a snapshot of the views of the Japanese empire at a time when Britain, the U.S., China and other countries were at war with it. It is well organized and has the potential to become a valuable ancillary to the Empire of Japan article, which it exceeds in length. Fg2 01:54, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with, variously, Empire of Japan, History of Japan, Geography of Japan, Taiwan, Manchukuo, and so on. 'References' sections at the bottom of pages are perfect for this. Although I wouldn't want to be the one to have to sift through all this. --bainer 07:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Agree with Bainer... merge into various articles, and I don't really see the point in making this a redirect anywhere as an unlikely search term. Radiant_* 08:03, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Please consider this an important resource for all the pages being listed at User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan. The coverage of this area is increasing rapidly. It is facile to say that this bibliography could easily be merged appropriately into those articles, most of which are expanding. Charles Matthews 16:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Derek Cheater

Yet another nonsensical article written on the talk page (compare Talk:Specie paradox, Talk:Single-vowel alphabet, Talk:New York conspiracy theory). Unlike the first two (which I've listed for speedy deletion), this one might have an ounce of relevance to reality that would cause people to vote to merge. Maybe. But I say delete. -- Perey 06:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Accordingly I have edited the article to read the following: "Derek Cheater is a derogatory nickname for New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter." IMO, it still should be removed. First of all, it is an orphaned Talk page. Secondly, this nickname doesn't have enough currency to deserve a redirect, much less a page of its own. Google shows only 117 hits. Compare to derisive Bush nicknames Commander Codpiece and Whistle Ass each of which shows well over a thousand hits and both of which the consensus on WP:RFD was to delete rather than redirect to List of U.S. Presidential nicknames.

Oral sex (no pictures)

Not a fork, just an autocensored version of Oral sex, database cruft without encyclopedic merit. Gmaxwell 06:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Original article says something like: "If you don't want images, turn them off on your browser". Wikipedia isn't censored. Keep. Mgm|^(talk) 07:53, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • • Oops. I meant delete of course. You may not call it a fork, but duplicating articles with the aim to autocensor is still forking. Mgm|^(talk) 10:29, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, the original warning said "This article contains photographs of sex acts. For a version without photographs, see Oral sex (no pictures)." before Gmaxwell vandalized Template:Photo warning. Keep, per precedent at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse (censored). —Korath (Talk) 10:07, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
    • Vandalized? That is a little rude. I justified my changes in my edit summary, and my edits were in good faith. Abu Ghraib didn't orignally use Template:Photo warning, but rather Template:Morbid warning, which is the same as the current Photo warning, but it was deleted. The consensus was that the Abu Ghraib article would not use a template for its link to the censored version. A primary argument was that the existance of the template would encourage the creation of other censored articles. I did not realize that the link in Abu Ghraib had been replaced with the template in violation of that decision. --Gmaxwell 14:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • See Template talk:Photo warning. See also WP:TFD, which is currently chock-full of the uselessness you edited the template into. If you want something gone, you nominate it for deletion; you don't try to ruin it and sit back and wait for someone else to nominate it. —Korath (Talk) 15:22, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
        • Would you please discontinue your overt hostility towards me, I'd prefer a civil discussion. I think it is probably useful to have a warning of the explicit nature of such pages, and I believe there was such a warning on on the article before that template was used. I was not attempting to ruin it so that it would be deleted but rather, I made two changes which I believed would improve it. I changed the wording to reduce a POV slant, and I removed the no pictures link because disabling images is the only sure way to not see naked pictures. I'm well aware of the TFD page, and would have nominated it myself if I felt that was clearly the best path at this time. --Gmaxwell 15:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete.Precedent disallows forks, even for censorship. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 09:08, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Not a fork. Look at the article source. —Korath (Talk) 10:07, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Turning off pictures is too technical for most users to accomplish. DDerby 09:11, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • There was a proposed addition to mediawiki in the past to provide a navigation button to disable images easily (eh, well I can't find the cite, but other people tell me I am remembering correctly). It was overwhelmingly denied. The process of creating a (no pictures) version of Oral sex is a substantially POV pushing action because it says that the encyclopedia has an opinion of what content is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. I would support an easy to use hide image button in the main navigation, but the creation of special no images pages is harmful (encourages forking and censorship, since the *text* is explicit as well so a Oral sex (no thought crime) is the obvious next step. I also oppose the semi-fork as it cruds the database, and because it encourages POV pushing in links (changing links to the censored version)). Also the (no pictures) version would be a huge target for vandalism, as someone could easily stick a shocking picture at the top and really surprise people who though they were safe. Finally, since it is not possible to edit Oral sex without looking at the pictures, we are effectively telling people that don't want to see nudies that we don't want them editing wikipedia. --Gmaxwell 15:08, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As per DDerby. I wouldn't know how to turn off pictures in my browser. And as long as we've got the proper Oral Sex article as well, there's no real censorship. P Ingerson 09:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's only one picture anyway and the article itself is pretty explicit without it. Robinoke 10:20, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unnecessary duplication of content already at another article. --Angr/_comhrá 11:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unnecessary duplication. Anyone who would be offended by the photos would be offended by the text. How many other articles with nude photos would have to be duplicated if we go this route? Mwanner 12:02, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• No vote. Comment: The reason anyone would want this is not to prevent themselves from being offended, but so that it is safe to view in a public or semi-public place (school, library, work, at home with young children or paranoid parents). And while people can browse with images off, some people may not know how to, and in any case it's inconvenient. On the other hand, having it for an individual article is an ugly hack and perhaps bad precedent. I personally think there should be an option when browsing Wikipedia to not view any images inline, which would be much cleaner (no pun intended) and more effective. Nickptar 12:46, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unnecessary duplication. Keeping images that may seem objectionable to some seems to be policy, see talk:autofellatio, image polls and discussion--nixie 13:30, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• 'Delete is it me, or have the puritans started coming out in droves? Burgundavia 15:20, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Not useful. I favour deleting this page, as well as removing the photo from Oral sex (at minimum, changing it into a link). This is an encyclopedia; such explicit images do not belong here. Does any other encyclopedia prominently feature similar material? Should goatse.cx contain the infamous "hello.jpg" image? - Mike Rosoft 15:38, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm afraid removing the photos from Oral sex won't ever get consensus; I, for one, would oppose, and the very existence of this vfd shows that people still want to shove these pictures in people's faces whether they want to see them or not. See also Talk:Goatse.cx/Vote. —Korath (Talk) 15:53, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• No vote, not a fork because of the way it's done, could be replaced with a software option like the hide/show for tables of contents. --SPUI (talk) 16:00, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Right which is why I pointed out in the VFD that it's not technically a fork... although the practice encourages forking as now Woman on top sex position (no pictures) which is actually a fork, and even fails to link back to the orignal and is biased in what pictures it removes. Creating no pictures links for some articles and not others is POV. People who want a no pictures option need to start a vote for that feature. --Gmaxwell 16:06, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • End-user image suppression is currently on hold because of technical and design problems. Articles like this, where someone has identified a problem and gone to the trouble of fixing it, and has done so without forking, should be kept as stopgap measures until the software solution is in place. (And if you nominate the fork or point me at its vfd, I'll be the first to vote delete.) —Korath (Talk) 16:35, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC) (I will in fact nominate Woman on top sex position (no pictures) for deletion myself; I was replying to an earlier version of your comment. —Korath (Talk) 16:38, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC))
• Keep delete this article, but I'd support a no-pictures option - not for censorship reasons - but to help those of us addicted enough to browse (and edit) WP over GPRS and/or Wireless Application Protocol.

Perhaps I should create a fork of this VfD page so I don't have to look at the comment that offended me. Postdlf 15:57, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete I am not sure how thinking the pictures are inappropriate is in anyway more POV than saying tht they are not. However, I do see it as something of a fork unless the content updates in both locations with a single edit, and even this its ugly. MediaWiki should support some sort of navagation bar to turn them off, though from the comments above that does not look likley. Dalf | Talk 02:07, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments

• I find it most disturbing that Cool Hand Luke has responded to this VfD by changing the inlined image on the Oral sex page to a link. This in my opinion is blatantly against the sense expressed by most of those who have voted to delete the bowdlerized page. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 10:34, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong concur with Tony Sidaway. I am at work at the moment, and so viewing the Oral sex article would not be apropriate, but this is no reason to remove pictures - I would expect it to have pictures and thus not be suitable for work. If I want to read about sex-related topics then I can do that at home. Tony, if you haven't done already please revert (do so in my name and/or cite this comment if you want). Thryduulf 10:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I find it more disturbing that Gmaxwell has, several times, improperly orphaned this page (both via the template, and removing the template from Oral sex). Not to mention all the ignorant "fork" votes, none of which have grasped the fact this is not a fork by any reasonable definition of the word. Entire contents below. —Korath (Talk) 13:57, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

<!--To edit this page, you must edit the article with pictures at [[Oral Sex]] or use section editing. This page without pictures is derived from "Oral Sex" and does not need to be edited every time the main article is.-->

It is a second article on the subject of oral sex. It is based on the article oral sex. It is not exactly the same as the article oral sex. Therefore, it is a fork of the original article. --Carnildo 18:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not. It transcludes oral sex. Any modification to oral sex will also be reflected in this article. It may or may not be a good idea, but it's not a 'fork'. Nickptar 20:13, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • The only time I edited Oral Sex was after this page was voted Delete here and I'd spoken to an administrator about archiving the discussion. Had it been my intention to orphan it in bad faith, I would have not let it sit for a week. My edit to the template was made without complete understanding of the template, and without realizing it was in use elseware because I was in the middle of doing RC patrol. For that I am sorry. I have left it alone since that discussion. I think it is wrong to force decisions on articles by deleting their content via TFD and IFD, or to hide something that should be deleted by removing a link. As far as the fork issue, I was clear in the nomination that it is not a true fork. ... I imagine those voting delete because it is a fork voted that way because it is a fork in spirit if not technically--Gmaxwell 20:52, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with Korath. Gmaxwell's behavior could be interpreted as somewhat trollish, and I am sure that isn't the impression he wants to give. I hope he will reconsider his actions. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:35, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I would to suggest, without the intention of offending, that you have failed to completely investigate the timeline of the events here before drawing your conclusion. I ran across the article on recent changes, saw the template directing to the no pictures version. I found the previously TFDed morbid photo warning template (by searching for the content of the template to figure out how it worked) and saw that it was deleted because (in part) it encouraged making forks/quasi forks. I adjusted the template to fit that concern (and did not remove it because I thought the warning was useful on the page). I then noticed that the Oral Sex (no pictures) page was actually a real page (I had previously thought it was a sideeffect for the template). I put it up for VFD. I was then told that the prisoner abuse used the template too... I'd missed that because when morbid warning was TFDed it was decided not to use a template by rather to include the text in the article. After that point I allowed the template to be reverted and left it alone. After this articles VFD timer expired with a clear delete decision, I talked to an admin about closing the VFD and I went and removed the template from the Oral Sex page. I presume this VFD has yet to be closed and archived because the debate restarted today after I yanked the template last night. After removing the template from Oral sex, I went to see if anything else was still using it, and then followed the link to the prisoner abuse article to read up on the discussion there.. After being confused by the history page, I realized that it was a copyright violation and followed the procedure for reporting it. In further discussion with Korath, I have discovered that it's possible to fix the copyright issue without removing the page... but I have to impliment that change because I am concerned by the fact that my intentions are being questioned. --Gmaxwell 20:28, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Okay, firstly I'm sorry if I've misrepresented what you did. Secondly, I've no idea what you did or what state the whole silly thing is in now--which templates exist or do not exist, or whatever. Thirdly couldn't we just revert the whole silly thing to the way it was a week or two ago and pretend it never happened? This is getting embarrassing. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:12, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Organization of Contents by Themes

This seems like a list of random book contents. A useless list that violates naming conventions. DDerby 08:45, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I think this was a good idea in principle, but it may have been abandoned. Literary criticism identifies various common themes, and it would be a good idea to list these themes, explain them briefly and give examples. Also it might be worth trying to categorize as many works of fiction as possible by theme, and a page like this would be a useful resource on the way to doing that. Kappa 09:46, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete Even if the information was imported in from the external site this has two POV problems.

• Delete. Actually, this is not the individual editor's POV, even though the title leads one to believe that it is. I don't know if a redirect to Guitar World would be ok, or if it would be problematic. The article as it stands *is* POV. I'd say just add the ext link to the list onto Guitar World (which I just did) and delete this article. --Idont Havaname 03:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note: I believe a revote should happen because the article has changed dramatically. (Posted by 71.112.132.42)

Changes

I've redone the entire page, wikified and listed correctly all the artists and songs, so I think all of these votes need to be recast because this is an entirely differently article then the one voted upon. As to my vote, I don't know how good the title of the article is, perhaps moved to Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos would satisfy some, but piss others off even more, so I don't know about that solution. As for the notability of both Guitar World and the list, I think that if we can have a mess of oversized pages devoted to Halo fan-art which are completely acceptable and somehow don't cross into the non-notable or advertising realms then I think this one can stay. Especially because of the huge pain in the ass it was for me to rewrite it all in Wiki. --TheGrza 02:26, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Concerning "notability", only the first extra sources from Dave the Red makes some sense, the other two are opinionated rubish. More broadly, this list only makes sense if viewed from the perspective of the historical date when this list was made. Its like a time capsule. Certainly, the list would have looked different in 1980. It will certainly look different in 2010. The only honest thing to do, in order to keep this - at least for musicians and guitar fans - interesting reference, is to introduce historical perspective and delete all solos after a certain cut-off point. I would suggest 1975. Or anything that is less than 30 years old. Thus we can keep updating it based on naturaly POV, opinionated and unqualified perceptions of bad journalists, fanatic ott fans and frustrated musicians, provided there is a published reference by one of the mainstream guitar magazines. Wikipedians can also vote: maybe TheGrza could set up a Q on surveymonkey every other year and bring the results into this page? --Modi 16:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not really interested in putting any more work into this page; it was annoying and I'll be the first one to agree that it's not altogether interesting or certifiably valid. But it is the list, from one moment in time of the biggest magazine geared toward this stuff and I think it should be simply renamed to Guitar World's List of 100 Greatest Guitar Solos (2004) or something along those lines. It clearly isn't the 100 Greatest Guitar solos because there it's geared toward rock and away from, say Bach, but I still think it's relevant.--TheGrza 23:32, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

Legacy Challenge (The Sims 2)

I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. On one hand, it seems to be fairly well documented within the Sims 2 community. On the other hand, it's crufty, it's a how-to, and aside from maybe a brief mention of its existance, I don't see how it can be encyclopedic. --InShaneee 16:29, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable, band vanity, promo. Megan1967 07:59, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There are entries in Wikipedia for U2. How is this band any different? Why does it matter that U2 is well-known and this band is not? Is part of Wikipedia's charter that only notable people, places and things should be allowed in? And if so, what criteria should therefore be used to determine what is "notable"? There are plenty of important people events that got swept under the rug by a lack of media coverage, or a lack of awareness, that were nonetheless important. Many artists labored in obscurity during their own time, only to be "discovered" long after their death. It seems to me that judging an entry based on how popular it is does a serious dis-service to this project as a whole.

However, the "vanity" charge is fully warranted. I will update the text of the submission to make it more objective.

unsigned coments from user:24.27.39.144, who created the Gyrating bhtch article.

Vanity charge not at all warranted! From the Wikipedia definitions: (entries) about start-up businesses or musicians are not vanity pages and are considered acceptable.

• Delete. If sockpuppets want to keep it, it's gotta go! P Ingerson 20:05, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"If sockpuppets want to keep it..." What does that even mean? The first draft of the entry was biased, I admit, but I have changed the text to make it more objective. It now seems to conform with Wikipedia's own entry standards, does it not? And if not, then why? Certainly, deletion is not recommended here because of reviewer bias, right? So what objective standards are being applied now to warrant deletion?

• Delete. Unlike this band U2 meets the Wikimusic Project guidelines which specifies that an artist meet at least one of the criteria namely top 100 success in major or medium sized market, won awards, performed on a national tour, or recorded at least two albums with major label or reasonably well-known independent label. This band will be eligible too when it meets any of this criteria.Capitalistroadster 00:35, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It is verifiable and may be of interest to more than a few people. From what I understand from the limited search that I made of this band on Google, their performances are more like the avant-garde "happenings" that were common in art communities of past decades. These events were ephemeral. Their documentation, whether only in the minds of the audience or as Christo has done in his tangible records for his projects, is the only proof that they happened at all. It seems that a wiki-community is an appropriate place for such an art form to be documented. --Newdeal 16:40, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Netbux

Wikipedia is not a place to advertise multi-level marketing schemes. MLM's are illegal in many countries. Delete.-gadfium 19:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: Wikipedia should be a place to document MLM schemes (which certainly has an instructive character). We have articles on all kinds of dubious and criminal organizations and scams, and Wikipedia is often one of the better sources on them. So for me it's really a question of whether this is a notable MLM scheme. If in fact 13'000 people fell for it in roughly a week, it's going to be a notable RSN. Rl 21:26, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Change my vote to Delete. Fortunately, this particular scam doesn't look like it's ever going to become notable now. I still find it's an interesting variant because it involves ripping off third parties, but that's presumably the very reason it's not going anywhere. Rl 12:46, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Illegal. RickK 22:18, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Note to RickK: Yes of course its illegal. But as RI said, whether a scheme is legal or not, wikipedia is in my opinion one of the best places to document it. 13,000 people in one week is not a small number, and the amount of places i am beginning to see referral id's is so alarming that i am sure this MLM will be a big one. Sure, wikipedia aint a place to promote MLM's, but it is a place to document them. THE KING 23:54, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your rewrite is certainly an improvement, except that you subtly readded the link to their website with a referral number in it. I've removed that, but your readding it shows a lack of good faith. In my opinion, the subject is still not worthy of being on Wikipedia.-gadfium 00:41, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Note: user has 20 edits.
• Keep. I wanted more info and found it. No reason not to document this.

THE KING (talk · contribs) (who is apparently desperate to earn some money, and placed the referral link on his User page) seems also to be desperate for this article to be kept. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:19, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I have heard from people saying this is legit. It's not commercial promotion if all of the other companies can have their pages. No reason that "NetBux" shouldn't be documented. --Randy 21:04, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Anyone can start their own mlm scheme and claim that they have 2500, 25000 or 250000 members on their website; this is still not a reason to mention it here. --Ktotam 14:41, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: THE KING left a nice note on my talk page asking me to reconsider my vote. While the article is better than it was, is it really an encyclopedia article? I fear this will balloon into yet another scheme to co-opt the site for furthering an agenda. IMO, this could be worse than all the Sollogs, GNAA's and pedophiles combined. Sorry King, but no change of vote. - Lucky 6.9 03:38, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• He left me a note as well. But I can't really find the 'substantial rewrite' he claims has occured. As such I don't really see a reason to change my vote. However, SPUI's suggestion of merging to multi-level marketing sounds like an appropriate alternative. Radiant_* 07:23, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Francus

Delete. - according to The History of the Franks, by Gregory of Tours (Georgius Florentius) which is the oldest work which talks about the subject so far as I know: "The first King of the Franks was Clodio (Chlogio) [He was married to Basina De Thuringia, born 398 A.D., whose father was Wedelphus, King of Thuringians."

Sullivan Black

So this Sullivan Black was supposedly the antagonist of Gilbert White. Identical years of birth and death. Many impressive names among the people he allegedly met or corresponded with. "Fortunately, a small archive of Black's manuscript work survives in that village". The article author claims in this (and other articles he changed accordingly, which also makes up the entirety of his edits) that Black "was an adept early practitioner of the limerick verse-form" and offers this gem as proof:

Seducing young Annie Buccleuch

In Hawkley, a storm raged and blew.

The Hanger collapsed [2]

But I did not lapse.

I enquired, “Did the earth move for you?”.

[2] This dates Black's seduction precisely to the night of 8th/9th March 1774, when the side of the Hanger [the local term for a steep clay ridge] collapsed in a fierce storm. A cottage built on the site is still known as "Slip Cottage".

Google draws empty. I smell a rat.Rl 20:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, obvious hoax. Megan1967 08:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Why delete?. Is there no room for gentle comedy in Wikipedia? It's not as if it were a libellous or ridiculous entry on the Pope, the President or even Gilbert White himself. You'd have to go looking for it specifically. It harms nobody. Plestor House is opposite The Wakes. The Hanger did collapse on the night in question. Hawkley is 3 miles from Selborne. Slip Cottage does exist to this day. --Sherefong 12.11, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • If there is a place for gentle comedy in WP, it's the user pages. Gentle comedy is wrong (and thus bad) information. If say a user checks "What links here" on Gilbert White's article, she won't expect to be offered, among other pages, a hoax. In my personal opinion, hoax pages that look genuine are much more damaging to WP than vandalism, and they are more expensive to fix. Please consider making positive contributions to WP.

• Delete Advert. (We actually have an article that includes the registered trademark symbol?!) Mwanner 22:02, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete any article which tries to include a registered or copyrigted mark in its title. RickK 22:26, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Hey Wikipedia, this is not a vote but I just came across this. Vamp - Your sweet beasts! (different one and it is Not Safe For Work), Amateurpussycat and Vampsexkitten. --Anonymous Cow 01:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Also not a vote, is a comment: I seen also the Vamp - Your sweet beasts!, and I think somebody put new information about an European magazine. My opinion is, who made, correct his/her first time errors... However, we can delete, the Hustler, Playboy and the Penthouse pages, no?... Let's think a bit more... Mozsi 04:13, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, let's see... Playboy.com has an Alexa rank of 785... the Vamp website has no Alexa rank at all (Alexa ranks the top 6 million sites or so). Pretty hard to compare notability between those two. It's kind of like saying that if a comic character I created in kindergarten doesn't get an article, then we have to delete Superman and Spiderman too. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:16, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete strictly because of the registered copyright mark on its title. I doubt that anyone would type in that mark when trying to serach for Vamp - Your sweet beasts!. Zzyzx11 | Talk 04:19, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as being advertising of own magazine (see nomination) and having no Alexa rank. Hustler, Playboy and the Penthouse are in a totally different league and far wider known across the world and made it into pop culture. Mgm|^(talk) 07:55, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this and its clones as self-advertising, and I agree, anything with registered trademark symbols in its name should be an automatic candidate for deletion - a legitimate article can handle trademark issues in the article body, if needed. -- The Anome 08:00, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to the title without the registered trademark, if anyone can actually verify that this magazine is real and published in multiple languages keep, otherwise delete--nixie 08:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete any article with an ® in its title. Radiant_* 08:18, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - advertisement--Anonymous Cow 20:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for supreme non notability and ® in title. Thryduulf 16:32, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to the other Vamp and keep that one.--Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:24, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Justine Kreuk

The sister of a famous person is not famous. RickK 23:14, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Also, a gymnast is not notable until she has won some major competitions. Zzyzx11 | Talk 23:16, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Winning isn't necessarily a prereq for notability. See, for example, Phil Mickelson (this was the case for him for a while), and Anna Kournikova. But I would still vote to delete this article because she hasn't made the 2010 Olympics team, much less participated, won, etc.... (And there isn't a Summer Games in 2010. Which Olympics is this?) Justine herself gets only 59 Google results, a lot of which are repeats and keyword-stuffing incidents. --Idont Havaname 04:05, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep the article as this person's accomplishment is notable for her skill and unique Gymnastic talents.

I am the author of the page. It may seem to be a double standard if my article is to be deleted. I have seen articles on famous people where related obscure people got written about. For example, Britney Spears had a non-famous and obscure man in her life, Kevin Federline, and he was written about in even less detail. Granted Kristin is far less popular than the pop star, but the standard should be the same for every celebrity, yes?

• Comment: The biggest non-speculative claim to notability would be "placed in top finishes in numerous provincial competitions". Kappa 00:07, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Kevin Federline was a dancer before he ever started dating Britney Spears. RickK 22:51, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• No, the standard should not be the same for every celebrity. Why would they be? Delete. Meelar (talk) 01:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: her only verifiable gymnastics result is a second placing in the Open Level II all-around division at the Flicka Gymnastics Club in 2002 [11]. She'll be notable when she gets to Vancouver, not before. --bainer 07:22, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not a celebrity. Every little girl wants to be a gymnast (or a dancer or some kind of athlete). Get her out of here. When she wins the Olympics, then an article might be appropriate. --Coolcaesar 19:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Considering we seem to have an article on every person who has ever participated in the Olympics, I would say she could have an article if she appears in the Olympics, not necessarily wins them. RickK 22:51, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Siujang

Delete. Interesting enough fact, but its hard to see this ever rising to the encyclopedic standard. Mwanner 22:58, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm not even sure what the fact is. Is "Si-" a prefix attached to any name, in which case Ujang is just an example? This would possibly place it the equivalent of -san in Japanese or Mr. in English. The Japanese "-san", which is undoubtedly more notable than "Si-", only has a definition on the disambiguation page for that term rather than an individual article, and "Si-" should just be added to the corresponding article at si and the example of siujang deleted. If this is unique to the name "Ujang", however (which doesn't even have an article itself), then it's trivial beyond belief. Postdlf 00:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Bus models used in New York City

An unencyclopedic, unintelligible garbled list. RickK 23:29, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Needs to be cleaned up, that cant happen if it is deleted. There is general consensus that rolling stock for major metropolitan public transportation systems is notable. Think about how many billions of passenger miles these busses have carried. Klonimus 03:50, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • There is general consensus that rolling stock for major metropolitan public transportation systems is notable. On what planet would that be? Certainly not here on Earth. --Calton | Talk 22:24, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup and keep. Verifiability established. Article subject is not nonsense, vanity or original research. --Centauri 05:58, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Since those three standards are not the only disqualifiers for an article, that's pretty much an immaterial statement.
• Keep or merge with the New York City Bus System. Unlike the bus routes, this information is not readily available on the company's website, so the argument for keeping this is stronger. Information is subject to change though and will need frequent updates. Sjakkalle 07:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete outright. Transport trivia that doesn't even belong in a NYC transport article. --Calton | Talk 22:24, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup to something like New York City Subway rolling stock (though that needs more prose about the history, some of which can be moved or copied from New York City Subway#Rolling stock). We have articles on automobile models, presumably including obscure ones of which only a handful have been made, and these have carried many more people. We have articles on locomotive models of which only a handful have been produced, and one of those got a unanimous keep on VFD. --SPUI (talk) 23:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Non notable and non factual. --Tagishsimon (talk)

You might want to check out Peace burial at sea from April 13's vfd's, which suggested merging with this one, IIRC. Grutness|^hello? 00:54, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: article fails to establish notability according to WP:NMG - they have one album out on a minor indie label. What's more, most of this seems to be gibberish anyway, and seems like vandalism from Special:Contributions/81.23.1.18: [12]. For example: "John, thought to be the son of a Northumbrian rag and bone seller, admitted to having conducted a physical relationship with an oak tree (which he named "Graeme") in a TV documentary, the issue was brought up in the House of Commons." In four months there's been no real information provided other than the members of the band. --bainer 07:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wet & Wild: Slippery When Wet (2000)

This article is, first of all, nothing but a play-by-play of who gets nude and how they do it in one typical video in one of Playboy's many video series. I don't even know if a valid article could be written on the Wet & Wild series as a whole, and one isolated "volume" is certainly no basis for one. We might as well have articles on individual porn mag issues ("On page 36 of Busty, December 1997, Amber Waves removes her garter straps and poses contrapposto in front of a saddle.") Delete. Postdlf 23:31, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

BTW, there is a List of Playboy videos, which I think, with some cleanup, is an appropriate place to mention the various series in general, but not individual entries in each series. Postdlf 23:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, like Simpsons episode guides. See Wikipedia is not paper. Kappa 00:08, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. But I do think that an article about the series might be appropriate. Lots of people watch these! Pornography, and particularly Playboy, is important to a lot of people - even if they are probably not (in general) the same people that read encyclopedias. Musser 00:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Agree with Kappa's comments. TigerShark 00:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Well I can't say that I've seen all the Playboy videos but I have the impression that there has been a significant change in Playboy's philosophy in the production of their videos from the early 90's to the present. In the early 90's the "Sexy Lingerie" and "Wet and Wild" series were produced and very popular. The production of these videos has completely stopped and we now have videos such as "Sorority Strip Party", "Sexy House Keepers", and "America's Sexiest Bartenders". It seems to me that Playboy is now more concerned with making a profit by producing these sleazy videos than producing tasteful, artistic, and erotic depictions of women. I hoped that in writing a detailed description of each of the Playboy videos one could get an impression of the change that has taken place in Playboy's view of women. I have taken your points into consideration and have removed the NPOV non-NPOV remarks from my article. I hope that other people will be able to contribute their ideas and improve the video articles.Jester2001 01:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Jester2001's hair-splitting over "tastefully erotic" and "sleazy" notwithstanding, I fail to see the encyclopedic value of a T&A play-by-play.
• Either keep or merge with an article called Wet and Wild or something of that sort. Either way, the scene-by-scene descriptions should go. Meelar (talk) 01:23, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Borderline notable. And fun to read. Everyking 08:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - there are three issues here. One is, can we have an article on an individual work of art, literture or music. Clearly the answer here is yes since we do it all the time. The second is whether this specific video is worthy of its own article. Little evidence has been provided about the notability of this particlar video; and we have not as a community set very clear standards. However, I suspect that any video distributed through the channels of Playboy Enterprises Inc is likely to reach a lot of people. Lots more, for example than many of our articles on underground rock bands. Since Wikipedia is not paper, we should err on the side of inclusiveness, hence my vote to keep. The third issue rased here is not about the existence of the article but about its content. Is it consistent with our mission to have such a detailed discussion of what happens in the movie? In some existing articles on movies or on individual episodes of "The Simpsons" we do have fairly detailed information. Personally, I believe the current version of this article has too much detail, but that is really an issue for editing, it does not matter here on VfD. Johntex 15:38, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I probably have to agree with you about the amount of detail in this article, but as you said this is an issue for editing. Jester2001 21:54, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep BUT clean up. There's a huge NPOV problem here. Lets have the standard literary analyses, response, etc. I see none of that in the article, and it seems the content is intentionally meant to be titillating? (It shouldn't.) Analyses like, its of this style (style in the sense of the delivery, ie. the movie Hero happens to be conducted in a manner which emphasises the fine actions of so and so...) as well as its obvious genre, and such. I don't mind individual articles on every magazine issue in the world, just as long as its encyclopedic. This one isn't at the moment, but can be fixed. -- Natalinasmpf 00:20, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
