Pulp Stiktion

[edit]

This is another amongst the non notable webcomics which proliferate on Wikipedia. You can find the comic here, and it's 12 member forum here. Smack jeeves is a small webcomic hosting site with an Alexa ranking of over 100,000 and the pulp stiktion page isn't even mentioned on their report. Google gives back 11 unique hits. - Hahnchen 00:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here Is A Question

[edit]

Here is a Question, is this webcomic of note? It's hosted at stage-select.com, what that portal site is for I don't know, but you can see the comic here, however, the comic subdomain is not mentioned at all in the 300k+ Alexa ranking traffic report. The website is labelled JNVComics, and that terms gives back 9 google hits. Here is the answer - No. - Hahnchen 00:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: With an Alexa rating in the 350K range for the host site? I'm certainly willing to credit that the comic has a topic on a forum where all twenty people who read it avidly discuss it. RGTraynor 15:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Point Guardian

[edit]

This webcomic can be found here and has no Alexa rank. (However, it probably has an alternate Comic Genesis mirror). Is this a notable website? Has it seen serious review in respectable sources? Google gives 182 hits for "point guardian", however, the majority of these hits have nothing to do with the webcomic in question. - Hahnchen 00:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gaius Stern

[edit]

Gaius is a friend of mine, so this AFD is nothing personal. However, I don't believe he meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for living people. The only article that links to this is Carper Award, and whether the Carper Award is notable or not, I don't think its notability implies that everyone who has received the award is notable. The article doesn't mention that he co-founded the predecessor organization to the Academic Competition Federation; however, I don't think that affiliation automatically makes him notable either. Perhaps someone will edit the article so as to better assert the notability of the subject, but I don't think it's possible. Delete. Catamorphism 00:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Riggen

Appears to be a NN musician, according to guidelines in WP:MUSIC. No entries in the All Music Guide, and the hits that show up via Yahoo! imply he is a lead singer to an unsigned band [1] which doesn't have an entry on Wikipedia nor on All Music Guide. --Ataricodfish 01:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Videohypertransference

[edit]

Aside from Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors "Videohypertransference" does not appear to exist. I'm not sure whether this counts as original research or just nonsense, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong here. Delete AlistairMcMillan 02:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patricia graham

[edit]

Delete. Individual fails to meet the guidelines established by Wiki guidelines for academic notability. See WP:PROFTEST. No one has attempted to adhere to the guidelines after a request was made in the article's talk page. Established guidelines are:

  1. The person is regarded as an significant expert in their area by independent sources.
  2. The person is regarded as an important figure by those in the same field.
  3. The person has published a large quantity of academic work (of at least reasonable quality).
  4. The person has published a well-known or high quality academic work.
  5. The person is known for originating an important new concept, theory or idea.
  6. The person is known for their involvement in significant events relating to their academic achievements.
  7. The person is known for being the advisor of an especially notable student.
  8. The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them.

Tag Bodyspray

[edit]

Do we really want to list every new product that comes out? That's over 100,000 new products per year. I think we should wait until a product gains some notability (other than self-promotion) before we consider it encyclopedic. As a minimum, this one fails the notability test. In my view, it fails the SPAM test as well. Rklawton 02:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC) (I think we're about to see viral marketing at work...) Rklawton 03:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Severin

[edit]

Apparently a NN author with no published books by a major publishing house, per Amazon.com. Search at Amazon shows a single collection of short stories released on electronic format only by an independent publisher, #3,290,833 in Books according to their sales. Ataricodfish 02:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Agreed, except that with a sales rank of three million, two hundred and ninety thousand, eight hundred and thirty three -- meaning that in an average week, Amazon sold 0-1 copies -- this did not sell 5,000 copies and it's no different than including a download on an unsigned band's website. --Ataricodfish 15:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Gratz

[edit]

Article appears to be for a NN author, per guidelines for living people in WP:Bio stating "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more". Author's only book has not yet been published per Amazon.com [4]. As the creator of this article's screenname is AGratz, this might also be self promotion.--Ataricodfish 02:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete. After some investigation of the discussion, the band really does fail WP:MUSIC, and the votes that state it fulfills the criteria there are, well, not right. Proto||type 10:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood Undead

[edit]

The band still fails WP:MUSIC. Nothing personal. Previous discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hollywood_Undead. Delete. - Corbin ∫ 1 ɱ p s ɔ ♫ Rock on, dude! 03:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, interesting. Thanks. I withdraw my "Keep" vote. That's worth sending in to Google Search Improvement as a bug. --John Nagle 16:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, actually that mention in Slate isn't quite "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works". It's a brief mention of them as a wannabe band, in a list of "a cast of demi-celebrities of varying talent", not an article that features them.--John Nagle 01:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have limited access to news archives, if they made Slate, they've certainly made something else, and I'm fine with erring on the side of caution on this one considering Slate's reach. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 03:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Fails - Hahnchen 00:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- Taken right from WP:MUSIC "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show." Myspace is considered very notable media, therefore it should in fact be kept. --GorillazFanAdam 02:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment- Also, not to metinon Hollywood Undead pioneers the fusion of Hip Hop, Screamo, and Hardcore, a very bold step taken that qualafies for notarity. --GorillazFanAdam 02:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment MySpace is not a media source, it is a platform on which anyone can make a place for advertising. Also this non-notable band are certainly not the first group to fuse such music genre together. This non-notable band should make it in the real world first before they can make it here doktorb | words 12:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: MySpace is not the media. MySpace is a user-generated social website designed and instituted primarily to facilitate dating. More importantly, the music made by Hollywood Undead is not licensed to nor intended primarily for use by MySpace, but is only hosted on MySpace's servers. Also, if I was feeling irascible and pedantic, I could make and push the idea that Linkin Park fused hardcore and hip-hop a long time ago. - Corbin ∫ 1 ɱ p s ɔ ♫ Rock on, dude! 05:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A bit of Googling and looking at the various sites with them has convinced me that they are indeed notable in their own way. Perhaps WP:MUSIC needs an update to take "Internet fame" more into account. TH 07:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Uh-oh, be careful with that. This particular band are, strictly speaking, non-notable by the rules of WP:MUSIC. Attempting to stretch the boundaries of those rules for one specific case will only make subsequent debates even harder to undertake. I thought the non-notable band argument had been sorted, but obviously not! doktorb | words 07:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Hill

[edit]

The article seems to be meaningless; it refers to an individual but there is little or no context given PaddyMatthews 03:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to be a joke article, like the similar article I found for Michael Hill (21st century composer) and nominated for deletion below. --Ataricodfish 03:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC) Weak delete My initial Google searches found nothing, although having read the below and now finding the Guiness Book note here [7], it's obviously not a joke article. That having been said, I still don't know if I consider it notable, despite the Guiness record, so my vote for delete remains, however weakly. --Ataricodfish 03:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Largest Object Removed From Human Skull
The largest object removed from a human skull is a 20.32-cm (8-inch) survival knife, which was plunged into the head of 41-year-old Michael Hill on April 25, 1998. Michael survived the ordeal and the next day astonished doctors by functioning normally, although it was soon clear the knife had caused permanent damage to his memory and paralyzed his left hand. Looking back on the nightmare, the father-of-one says, "I didn't feel the pain initially and it was only when I was at the hospital that it hit me and I felt like my eyes were bulging out. I know people in worse shape than me now and so I consider myself lucky."

The first google result will get you an X-ray of the knife in the skull. I suggest that before voting on AfD it would be beneficial to make some research first. It is not beneficial to Wiki to "guess" whether an article is true or not. Tyrenius 15:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, this is a good examply why WP:W point 2 & 3 are nessary. As for the "guessing", I did try Google (for example "Michael Hill" +attack +April 25, 1998) and seemed to cum up with nothing, which was one of the basis for my "seems to be un-verifiable" response. It just goes to show how the choice of target words can effect google.--blue520 16:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for that it should have been WP:V.--blue520 04:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The debate stays open for one week. Bearcat 01:49, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment;why did you move the article back to the disambiguation,since there are only two cases where there is an article,its easier to direct michael hill to one article,then at the top of that article the link to the other,like i did,what do you think?

  • The rule on Wikipedia is that your approach would only be permissible if your Michael Hill could honestly be said to be significantly more notable than any other person of the same name with an article. Since that clearly isn't the case, your Michael Hill does not get the undisambiguated title "Michael Hill". Bearcat 21:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • i dont mean nececerly this michael hill,but you couldnt apply it to the other michael hill either because there both not notable enough?192.30.202.14 21:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • No...a disambiguation page at the main title is the appropriate solution in this kind of situation. Bearcat 01:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Actually, the other Michael Hill article was deleted per its AfD nomination, so there's currently only this Michael Hill article active in Wikipedia. See here [9] for the AfD nomination showing delete. I have updated the disambig page to remove the composer link. --Ataricodfish 17:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alberto Baumann

[edit]

Appears to be a NN artist and the only entry by User:Alandbaumann. Yahoo! search for name locates approximately 100 pages including the Wiki articles and mirrors, see [10]. In my opinion, does not meet notibility Per WP:Bio, "Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is recognized as exceptional and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field".--Ataricodfish 02:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Hill (21st century composer)

[edit]

Similar to the Michael Hill article mentioned above and nominated for deletion, article appears to admit to being NN and after a quick search on Yahoo, no listings of this composer could be located. Dates of birth / death in article give the appearance he died at age 14. Likely a joke article. --Ataricodfish 03:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't delete- I am aware of the group pish posh and there information can be easily located.Being that he died so young, it is hard to find information on the ninternet. They also were very esoteric and have more of a cult following than a mainstream internet one. I don't think's its fair he should be deletead just because you cant find information. If you cantact me i would be happy to direct you to the people closest to him and his family( who wn the irhgts to his hundreds of composistions and contributions from such a young age.
Comment Despite this, Hill remains nonnotible. I've tried several searches, including one for "Michael Hill" and "Pish-Posh" on Yahoo!, and obtain 5 hits, and only related to this article or completely unrelated [11]. As a musician, Hill does not qualify per WP:Music for inclusion in Wikipedia. As well, the article fails WP:V, since no information can be located to confirm the article. Per WP:V, "If an article topic has no reputable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on that topic." --Ataricodfish 03:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People for Change

[edit]
  • Comment Just curious , what is the threshold for notabiliy ? I mean what if the alexa rating was 60,000 rather than than 600,000 , would it make a difference ?

  • Comment These online games batting Wikipedia around like a child caught in an ugly divorce are ridiculous. As the site owner I really have no desire to be in Wikipedia if it's going to attract the various denizens of internet trollery who deem it necessary to remove anything anywhere not related to praising the Neocon movement.

God, put yourselves out of your misery and take the People for Change article down. It's not worth a thing one way or the other. Alexa the harlot , who will boost your rank if you advertise with her sponsors, is not really germane to anything. None of this is important, and to those of you who actually took the time and posted "delete", I fart in your general direction. Screw you, and your little internet games, you whiney douchebags! Sincerely Yours 70.32.164.21 02:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Mike Hickerson , owner, People for Change.[reply]

  • Delete Is that even a site? There seem to be 5 active users, and mostly petty posts. The entry is entirely misleading as to the nature of the site. If this entry still exists for historical reasons that would be fair, but then ALL verbs should be modified to be in the past tense (People For Change WAS this and that). Currently, there is nothing going on there of the sort described in the entry: this statement is objectively verifiable by anybody who cares to look. --FairGirl 03:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. User's one and only contribution. That being said, while normally I know how I'd vote on this, the partisan meatpuppetry of the CU crowd's disgusted me enough to force an absention from me. RGTraynor 07:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep For the simple reason that it was good enough for 2 years and relevant to the Democratic Underground page. Our intent in mentioning this page in our comments was to show how partisan the fight over Progressive Independent had become. Both sites were created in protest of Democratic Underground's policies and attest to the disatisfaction of Progressives (properly filed under criticism). If some people here feel that neither PFC nor PI are notable, that's fine, but the criticism of DU remains and the fact that many people, (even though they're still carried on DU membership rosters), have left it to form other projects, remains. Both instances should be noted under the criticism paragraph of Democratic Underground because it IS criticism. And as in a printed encyclopedia, when a reference is made to a person, place, thing or organization, there should at least be a corresponding description, in my opinion. Otherwise you stem the flow of knowledge for which we rely on encyclopedias.
Wikipedia is about facts. Facts are that people die and statistics change but the notable events of the time remain notable. When approximately 1000 mostly Dean supporters abruptly left left DU in 2004, taking their pocketbooks with them, that was notable at the time- very notable.
Thank you --Tinoirel 4:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

"Delete" - Few political threads and zero references to Howard Dean on this site - description seems outdated.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.17.145.158 (talk • contribs) .

Note: The above is 70.17.145.158's first contribution to Wikipedia.--RWR8189 16:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This AfD nom is politically motivated, a CYA response to defense of the Progressive Independent article. Moreover, 'notable' is not the same as 'important'. 'Notable' is an artificial quality that can be created with enough money even absent any sort of real value at all. The advertising and public-relations industries make billions of dollars every year doing just that. (I would add to Atlant's comment, above, by noting that User:Jersey Devil's ascription of meatpuppetry is completely one-sided: his and other deletes are motivated by high-minded principle, but the keeps are nasty meatpuppetry. This is consistent with bad-faith political motivation, since it implies that persons urging keep are not stakeholders in the issue, but were merely recruited 'off the street' as it were.) Katzenjammer 16:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could you maybe check your facts more closely before making such unsupported statements? I'd suggest starting with the definitional article about meatpuppets. Katzenjammer 21:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Obviously, contributors to this entry are people who are interested in the topic and read the Board in question. Why else would they care and how else would they know? The fact that one's first edit is in an AfD means nothing about where this someone comes from; it certainly does not imply recruitment off the street for disruptive purposes (statement, which, in itself borders WP:NPA ).
Could you clarify your meaning a bit so I know whether to jump up and down on you for it? :-) Katzenjammer 21:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: That's a startling series of assertions; do you genuinely believe that someone whose very first contribution to Wikipedia is in a AfD voting "KEEP!" (generally with an extremely passionate defense that makes no attempt to address or refute the reasons for the nomination) is in fact not invariably a supporter of the article launching in with the sole purpose of plumping up the totals? There's a honking big template sitting at the top of the page that seems to disagree with you. Whether they intend to be "disruptive," per se, I leave to the mindreaders and soothsayers, but it is unmistakable that their purpose is invariably to defend their article to the end -- or alternately, as in this particular case, fight those they perceive to be their "enemies" on every battleground they can find -- as opposed to dispassionately gauge whether the article satisfies Wikipedia rules and guidelines for inclusion. RGTraynor 16:16, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I see more Delete than Keep votes here, both by first time users. In my opinion, the "Delete" votes are more factual than the "Keep" votes, at least in this case. I agree, some of the "Keep" votes by first time users are quite passionate and kind of irrelevant. So, they are suspicious. But, not just because they are by a first time contributor.
  • Delete Complete mismatch between the content of the entry and that of the actual Board. Specifically, as it has been pointed out above, there is nothing about Howard Dean on the Board. At minimum, the entry should be updated to describe the Board as of 2006. PS: this is my first contribution to Wikipedia, like it is for many contributors on this page. --Shadowfrog 19:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep, with editing: JerseyDevil, a DU member, has argued for the deletion of TWO articles about former DU splinter sites. There couldn't be a political motivation, here? Nahhhhh...and OF COURSE we must judge this RfD "objectively", no matter what the nefarious motivations of those arguing for deletion may be. Funny how Wikipedia mirrors real-life, with Democrats and Republicans collaborating to squelch dissent and alternate viewpoints. Well, as someone who was BANNED from People For Change and strongly disagrees with the political agenda of that site, let me state that although I do believe this article violates NPOV, reads like an ad, and is need of some serious editing, it should be kept. Unlike some people here I'm not gonna let my political bias or a petty grudge drive me to try to censor or silence articles that reference a website or organization I disagree with. The Progressive Independent article has already fallen victim to censorship egged on by vindictive and politically-motivated Wikipedia editors/users, it should not happen again. --Nicky Scarfo 03:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: So ... stipulating that JerseyDevil is arguing for the deletion of this article solely out of political motivation (and that's presumably Wrong), it is therefore alright for you to argue for the retention of this article out of political motivation (and that's presumably principled and Right)? Hm, fair enough. RGTraynor 16:16, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, plus the little fact that I am not a DU member nor have I ever even edited the DU article (the only political forum I am a part of is Utopia-Politics which I list on my user page, it doesn't have an article here because it does not meet WP:WEB and thus is in fact by wikipedia standards not notable). Maybe it has to do with my deep hatred of people trying to use Wikipedia to promote their non-notable sites. You could easily prove me wrong, and show notability per web in the article forcing me to change my delete vote but you won't because your forum is not notable and thus you must come here (as a meatpuppet mind you) and smear other veterans users here who have earned their reputations by...you know, actually contributing to other articles.--Jersey Devil 00:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it simply doesn't meet WP:WEB. These claims of "politically motivated deletion" are a bit disingenuous in my opinion. If anyone can prove this meets WP:WEB, please do so, hit me on my talk page, and I will reconsider.--Isotope23 14:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bay Currents

[edit]

Vanity. Author (who has since been banned) created article on small local newspaper with practically no text about the paper, but uploaded images of three articles, about himself. If anyone can think of a speedy category that fits that would be great. Material is tied to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The Long Island Project. - Fan1967 04:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abyss (Thelema)

  • Delete per my nom. 999 05:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There should be a section for "religioncruft". Danny Lilithborne 06:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Argument for keeping The Abyss (and it's spirital crossing) is a major concept in a global religion, and while certainly not mainstream, it has tens of thousands of adherents (if not more). The concept of the Abyss is a core theme of arguably the most notable occultist of the 20th century, Aleister Crowley. Moreover, the concept appears in many books, by Crowley as well as more recent authors. The Abyss represents a culmination of spiritual attainment, and the current stub is but a placeholder for a potentially rich and useful article that can bring further insight to a complex and growing religion. Give it a chance to grow before judging its merit. Ashami 06:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment per my nom means: per my nomination. --Eivindt@c 13:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Thelema. --Eivindt@c 13:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Since when is "fringe" an excuse to delete? What kind of discrimination is this? Somecallmetim 13:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Fringe, maybe, but a notable fringe religion, and a notable concept within that religion. Fan1967 13:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and merge to Thelema. The religion is significant enough to be encyclopedic, while the concepts within it may not be notable enough to merit separate articles and should be included in the main article, if at all. Ekajati 14:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand. The concept is significant not only in Thelema but also in some versions of the Kabbalah, where it divides the highest and most abstract manifestations of the Godhead from the lower and more concrete ones. A finished article should also mention Crowley's claim to have crossed the Abyss: in essence, Crowley announced his self-deification. Smerdis of Tlön 14:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep --Terence Ong 15:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Thelema, and be sure to have a link to the related, but seperate, concept of the Abyss in Kaballah. Alba 15:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ashami. As this article was only created yesterday, I think it deserves some time to expand beyond its current state. Merge if it does not. --Joelmills 01:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and merge per above. Fishhead64 02:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Thelma article is large enough on it's own and since Wikipedia isn't paper, there is nothing wrong with having more information on it. Since Thelma is the basis of most modern occultism, it's pretty far from nn. That Thelema is a "Fringe religion" doesn't mean anything. Greek polytheism could also currently be considered a "fringe religion" but Greek mythology is still important from a historical perspective. Shadowoftime 22:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - to correct misrepresentation, Thelema is hardly the basis for "most moderrn occultism" - modern occultism is an extremely large topic, and there are many large, well-established occult organizations which are non-Thelemic, even anti-Thelemic. The second supporting argument is ill-conceived as well, but I will leave the reason for that as an exercise for the reader. :-) -999 15:13, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment If major, well-established occult organizations consider themselves anti-Thelemic, that shows the influence of Thelema just as much as if they considered themselves pro-Thelemic. (why bother considering yourself anti-Thelemic if Thelema is just a non-notable fringe religion?) The question here is the verifiability and notablility of Thelema, not whether or not people like it. Shadowoftime 22:13, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment - you like to mischaracterize people's positions, don't you? I never said that Thelema was non-notable. I believe that it is notable. It is the specific concepts that are not notable enough to have separate articles. They can all be described in the main article. -999 01:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, avoid merging, and expand The Thelema parent article is already pushing the boundaries of useful size, and the actual topic (of the Abyss) is barely scratched upon by the current article text. For similar odd once-stubbish articles about minor beliefs in fringe religions, see Kolob, or Xenu (the latter article eventually became a front page FA). Ronabop 05:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge: I have created the Thelemic mysticism article, which includes the info in this article. Although I would like to see this article remain and become expanded, it would not be unreasonable to have it redirect to the new article. Ashami 23:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge. The Thelemic mysticism article is a good place for it. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:53, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Furthermore, the presence of many new users in discussions like this one has made some editors in the past more inclined to suggest deletion. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

James Ross (conductor)

[edit]

Dr Ross has impressive credentials and a promising future: however his accomplishments thus far do not merit a Wikipedia entry. The ensembles Dr Ross has conducted are all minor. As far as I can tell, none is a professional group, and none is significant enough to have its own Wikipedia entry (as of the time this article was listed for deletion). The article reads like a resume, which perhaps it is.

Interestingly, Dr Ross doesn't even seem to be the most distinguished orchestral conductor named James Ross: a Google search reveals another James Ross born in Boston, Massachusetts, who has studied with Kurt Masur, Seiji Ozawa and Leonard Bernstein, conducted the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and has a position at the University of Maryland, but no Wikipedia entry. Grover cleveland 09:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re "interational touring": the article mentions a list of countries where Ross conducted but has no references to back up the nature of these engagements -- he could have just been taking masterclasses/lessons or conducting local amateur groups. His publications don't qualify him for notability under WP:PROFTEST. Couldn't find out anything about the conducting competition via Google -- only hits were pages promoting Ross.

The result of the debate was Delete. A close one, but consensus seems to be that this is not notable enough for a standalone article. However, it was a close call between deletion and relisting (or closing as no consensus), so the poor article quality swung it.

  • Nobody on Earth will search for that title, Delete no real need for redirect. --Eivindt@c 14:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Comment.This article has a number of problems. Firstly, it has verifiability problems given that the sources consist of minutes of the Branch meetings and no sources outside One Nation are cited. Secondly, notability given that individual branches of political parties are generally not notable. Thirdly, this appears to have problems with WP:NPOV given that it is written and authorised by a party official. Lastly, it may well be a copyvio. No redirect as noone would look for One Nation under that name. Capitalistroadster 23:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please see A. Y. Artos's comments below. Delete vote changed. If it is more substantial than a branch and there is verifiable evidence for it such as Electoral Commission registration or some independent verification such as third party media reports then it might be worth keeping and renaming.
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 23:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don't think it should be redirected to Pauline Hanson's One Nation which we say ceased t exist from 2005. It seems to be new as it claims to have been formed in Ipswich Queensland on the 11th of April 2005. Needs to be verified as registered.--A Y Arktos\talk 00:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep and rename: From the electoral commission site: "Application by Pauline Hanson's One Nation (NSW Division) to change its registered Party Name and Party Abbreviation" was refused June 2005.[16] There is however One Nation Queensland Division which was registered on 22 April 2005.[17] This is a separate party to Pauline Hanson's One Nation. Article should be kept and renamed. I think, ironically, it is not clear if One Nation is indeed one national party or a series of separate state entities. For example, if you look at those who objected to the renaming of the NSW branch you will find it is their One Nation colleagues in WA who did not want any confusion. Accordingly I support keeping a state branch article - this is not quite the same as an individual branch as per comments by User:Capitalistroadster. I agree it may well be a copyvio but I did not find evidence of that when I searched.--A Y Arktos\talk 00:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually I might be confused and it might be a Queensland branch of Pauline Hanson's One Nation (NSW Division) which wasn't allowed to change its name in June and thus a separate entity to the Queensland One Nation mob registered in April last year. Still should be kept on the grounds of notable wierdness. Next election, state or federal, it will be useful information if wikified, verified and otherwise improved.--A Y Arktos\talk 00:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. I am inclined to think that the NSW Division might deserve a page as a separately registered and separately operating political party which has had members in parliament. Info on Queensland branches should be included there (or all of it included at Pauline Hanson's One Nation, but I don't see that this branch is significant enough for it's own article. JPD (talk) 10:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response: Taking the article at face value - and it does need to be verified - and lining it up against the Australian Electoral Commission's reports of registrations and name change refusals, it would seem that there are now two One Nation parties.
This article states: "Was formed in Ipswich Queensland on the 11th of April 2005. The branch was the second in a growing list of New South Wales division branches to form in Queensland. The first Queensland branch of New South wales division of P.H.O.N was Darling Downs/Locyer Branch which was formed in January of the same year."
The AEC registered a Qld One Nation Branch on 22 April. In June the AEC refused to change the name of the NSW Branch of Pauline Hanson's One Nation - the objection to the name change coming from the WA Branch of One Nation. In Qld therefore we have branches of Pauline Hanson's One Nation and One Nation - the former party being only registered in NSW but having branches in Qld.--A Y Arktos\talk 19:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete nothing worthwhile or salvageable in this article, which seems as though it were copied from an obscure pamphlet. Besides which, in all instances the party is dead or dying; consequently, a "branch" or "division" of it scarcely warrants its own article.--cj | talk 15:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response: I am not sure that wishful thinking that something is dead or dying is a reason for deletion. I can find no evidence of a web based copyvio, although I agree it may have been copied. However,it doesn't appear quite fluent enough for any publication, even a pamphlet with dot points that have been compressed. Salvaging might take some work and one would have to muster up the enthusiasm and the Reliable sources.--A Y Arktos\talk 19:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It wasn't my reason for voting delete. My stance is that a branch or division of PHON does not warrant its own article - not even the major parties have separate articles for state divisions. Ultimately, however, I can see nothing in the article that is worthy of publication.--cj | talk 05:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While the information (while poorly written) is interesting in explaining the machinations of One Nation politics, surely the One Nation article can include a paragraph on the goings on explained here, rather than a whole new article. --Roisterer 14:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm at this Uni, and so I'm not goint to notvote on the issue at hand. However, I'd suggest that if you want it to stay 'deleted' that you make it into a redirect back to the Uni article. Otherwise, it will spring back into life before long.

  • I would generally tend to agree. The main reason this is on Afd is the redirect I did previously was already reverted. This doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention from experienced editors, so I thought Afd might help.

The result of the debate was keep. This does seem more of a content dispute than anything else, but the fact that this it is a name used at least somewhat commonly in India rules out a complete delete. Of interest is the fact that the word "Gurunath" does not even appear on the Shri Gurudev Mahendranath page, which certainly does not help the argument that the Gurunath article should be about the word coinage claim. The page will be kept, but primarily to mention the use as an Indian name. The other section should be removed, or put at the bottom of the page *after* it is at least mentioned (and referenced) on the Shri Gurudev Mahendranath page. Turnstep 14:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gurunath

[edit]

Insufficient notability with respect to content. There are between 4 and 50 google hits when you search for "shri gurudev mahendranath" and "gurunath" or "mahendranath" and "gurunath". Most of these don't even apply to the content. Whereas "Gurunath" alone gets almost 52,000 hits, since it is a common name in India. The individual who gets the most hits (1,140) for "gurunath" is "yogiraj gurunath". I suggest deleting this article and redirecting link to his article. Hamsacharya dan 14:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep - nominator has made it clear below that this is actually a content dispute. He is also guilty of harrassment, having stalked me to this article in retaliation and in an attempt to intimidate with respect to a content dispute in Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). ---Baba Louis 16:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - Who was the first person to even edit a Gurunath page? I suggest you look before indulging in accusations. If anything I would point to the reverse scenario. Hamsacharya dan 20:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment - you were. And because it was an inappropriate redirect, it was listed on Redirects for Deletion, and is in the March archives [20]. The result of the nomination was "Keep: Rather than deleting, edit into a description of the title." which was done by your old friend Adityanath... Here's a copy of the archived entry:
The nominated redirect was speedily kept as the nomination was withdrawn. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 10:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply] The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.
  • Comment This doesn't address the topic of this AfD, which is the issue of notability. Google hits for Gurunath consist of 50,000 given names, titles, and religious proclamations. The only individual that gets more than a few Ghits for Gurunath is Yogiraj Gurunath. Wikipedia has already deemed twice (based on two AfD's - you and I both attempted at different times to have Yogiraj Gurunath page deleted) that he is notable enough to keep on wikipedia. I don't think "Gurunath" by itself has any use to be on wikipedia. So either the page should be deleted, or it should be a simple redirect to Yogiraj Gurunath. Also don't forget that until proven otherwise, you are still a confirmed sockpuppet of Adityanath per wp:rfcu.. Hamsacharya dan 03:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since the word is a title and not a name, it would be inappropriate to redirect to any one individual. User:Hamsacharya dan is a student of Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath who is trying to inappropriately promote his guru on WP. In point of fact, his guru is no more prominent than Shri Mahendranath. "gurudev mahendranath" gets 920 Ghits [21] and "Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath" actually gets a few less, 910 Ghits [22]. Surely if it is true that the use of the word as a title predated Shri Mahendranath, it must be listed in a dictionary or two which can be cited. Other editors have provided no cites, only anecdotes. ---Baba Louis 15:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Question: What do you think the word "Gurunath" means? Guru + Nath = Spiritual teacher + Irradiant Lord . These are ancient words that come from an ancient spiritual/religious context. Isn't that how we often name our children in the west - based on religious or biblical connotations? Well it's no different in the East. That why the word Gurunath came to be used to name children in India. Isn't that obvious? Not the other way around - Mahendranath didn't take a "given name" and turn it into a religious title. That's ludicrous and probably unprecedented. It's like saying "You have achieved a great spiritual stature. I now bestow the title of 'Jimmy' on you." Maybe in Wikipedia getting a title of "Jimbo" might mean something great...but that's neither here nor there. The term Gurunath has been used as a title for saints and avatars for thousands of years. "Bolo Sri Sat Gurunath Maharaj Ki Jai" is a proclamation that is perhaps millenia old.

  • Comment - what's obvious is that if it was previously used as a title, it would have a dictionary entry or academic reference. Feel free to visit the library. I've looked myself, but didn't find one. ---Baba Louis 20:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - and it still doesn't have one, even AFTER Mahendranath. So that tells us absolutely nothing. Compounded with the fact that most sanskrit texts have never been translated. Hamsacharya dan 15:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment - it doesn't really matter, does it, whether Gurunath is a name or a title, you cannot redirect it to Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath. As a title, it has been given to other documented individuals. As a name, it is the name of numerous individuals. Would you redirect "John" to some individual named John who happens to currently have more Google hits than any other John? You are not making sense. This AfD is a bad faith effort to delete this article only so you can make an inappropriate redirect. I suggest you withdraw it. ---Baba Louis 17:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - whether they decide to redirect it is up to the voters. It was just a suggestion, which I feel to be a valid one. Hamsacharya dan 19:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep - nomination is clearly in bad faith. -999 03:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - just because one cannot find references in libraries or the Internet doesn't mean it cannot be apart of a living, breathing tradition. For example, buying a Lonely Planet book on India will give some information about local customs and sayings that one wouldn't necessarily find in a formal publication. Also, there are some publications that are either out of print or very hard to track down - further still remember that India is one of the biggest publishers of books...the wealth of literary gems found there beggars belief when one takes time out to look for things (again some translations not always being available in English). The religious tradition in India is VAST. It is impossible to have it all readily available for us all that are information or reference hungry. Also, it takes alot more than taking a short visit or googling and then thinking one knows India (and Her manifold religious traditions) inside/out in actual fact. 86.10.229.248 19:11, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Shaninath[reply]
    • comment - Please note this is a delete vote. User has forgotten to clearly embolden the delete nomination. Hamsacharya dan 05:52, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks for reminding me to embolden Hamsacharya Dan!86.10.229.248Shaninath[reply]
    • Comment - Yes, but without a reference any such information cannot be included in Wikipedia due to the no original research rule. This article cites the necessary documentation and thus is acceptable. According to WP rules, if you would like to include additional uses of the word, you simply need to provide a reference. The onus for providing a reference falls on the editor wanting to include the information. —Hanuman Das 00:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Shaninath (86.10.229.248) and Redirect per Hamsacharya Dan - This article only has notability in the same way the word John has notability - a generalized word will have plenty of google hits, but wont merit an encyclopedic entry in and of itself. That's why Ghits don't tell you everything. Kalagni Nath 20:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - obscure, but well-documented from primary sources. Also, since it has been stated to be a common name and surname in India, it should not be redirected to a specific individual even if the existing article is deleted. -Ekajati 22:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was no consensus.

WP:WEB Non-notable web site, as article admits. John Nagle 17:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per above. The article even says The site is operated on a very local level, with almost all of its members and visitors living in or near north Iowa, most of whom are friends of either Norris or Brunsvold. But a "prod" tag has been deleted twice, without any other changes to the article, so we have to do this the hard way. --John Nagle 17:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above comment: HWS is a great friendly place to post about anything. It has been gaining in popularity all over, not just in Iowa as article "suggested." Kolten27 17:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm pretty sure that I'm no sockpuppet, John. I am the same "TwoThumbsDown" mentioned in the article. While it is true I created this account to defend this article, I have contributed to Wikipedia anonymously before. I ask that any deliberations concerning the deletion wait until proof of notability comes in, as indicated by Newton465 above.--TwoThumbsDown 22:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't understand what the big deal is about deleting it. We are trying to grow out and become more known and grow in the Halo community. We are starting to get a good idea of where we are headed, manly in the creation of our own Machinima movies, but not limited to that. Right now our forum members don't understand what the big deal is about deleting the artical. This would only help our growth. And thats what we are striving to do. Grow. And to be clear, TwoThumbsDown is no sockpuppet, and neither is Kolten27. They maybe the trouble makers of the HWS Forums, but us three are the most technology minded in general and knolegable about Wikipedia. They would never do anything distructive or without having a good reason to on this site. =Newton465 02:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that you want to use Wikipedia for self-promotion, and that's strongly discouraged. Web sites only get into Wikipedia after they become notable. Otherwise, every website on the web would have an article. Also, writing an article about yourself or your own stuff is generally discouraged. Have you read WP:WEB and WP:VAIN? Those will make things clearer. It's not just you; about a thousand articles a day are thrown out of Wikipedia. --John Nagle 02:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • So becuase we are memebers of the forums, it means that we are making the article about ourselves? Let me remind you that TwoThumbsDown and I are NOT moderators of the forums (refer to article which is in question) and that the both of us have done most, if not all, the editing to this article. Therefore, we did not make it about ourselves. This article is also NOT an advertisment for the forums. All information included is imformational and nothing is said about why, how even how to join. Kolten27 03:08, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand your concerns about the advertising, John. A sticky situation indeed. I've read WP:WEB, and I would like to note that Brunsvold (referred to as "HoodedGnome" above), the one responsible for the creation of the website in question has indeed won an award (in his case, from a local college) and recieved recognition from a local newspaper as a result. Once again, I request some patience from all of us so that Brunsvold can sort this out. Thanks for being this patient with us for this long, anyway. It is our fault for not noticing this criteria before. If we are unable to provide proof of notability soon then the proposal for deletion is justified, in my view at least. I am also curious as to what we can do to clean up this article in the meantime to remove any self-promotion that you may notice.--TwoThumbsDown 03:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of tongue-twisters

[edit]

This is a massive and very interesting list of tongue-twisters in numerous languages. Unfortunately, I believe this isn't suitable material for an encyclopedia, for the following reasons:

  • It keeps expanding forever.
  • Most of the tongue-twisters are unverifyable and some may have been invented by the authors.
  • A lot of the content isn't really tongue twisters, but other linguistic peculiarities (such as long strings of consonants or vowels in words, phrases made out of homonyms etc).
  • Most importantly, the topic itself is unencyclopedic. Only a few examples would be required to illustrate the concept of a tongue-twister, Wikipedia needn't host a database of them.

Of course, I wouldn't want such a great list to be completely deleted. Maybe Wikibooks would host it, or some other way could be found to keep it online and editable.

  • keep Because...
    • Wikipedia is not paper
    • Not sure you can verify a toungue-twister. Its seems akin to verifying that the sky is up. It isn't like there is an official United Tongue Twister Board of America or something. It is the most arguable point of deletion, though.
    • Just because some of the article needs to go, doesn't mean the WHOLE article has to go...
    • If a List of Tongue Twisters is encyclopedic, then so are 95% of all the list categories.

Roodog2k 23:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or transwiki.
    • Not sure you can verify a toungue-twister. a toungue-twister can be made by anyone does not need to be verified
    • Just because some of the article needs to go, doesn't mean the WHOLE article has to go...
    • A List of Tongue Twisters is encyclopedic.
  • Comment: we have deleted similar lists before, such as lists of jokes. Also, the very fact that tongue-twisters are unverifyable, pointed out by previous users, is an argument for deletion in my opinion. Wikipedia is supposed to explain the concept of a tongue-twister (in the article Tongue-twister) and perhaps provide a few examples to illustrate subject, not list every tongue-twister in existance.

Yes it could be incorporated into the Radio Amateurs of Canada page; but the information is rather detailed, and many Wikipedia users might not know to go to Radio Amateurs of Canada; nor that the youth education program is hosted by RAC; while I assume that 'youth education' is a searchable phrase.

I'd like to see the deletion flag removed. This is a legitimate page, and has been sanctioned by the Chair of Youth Education, who asked that it be included in Winipedia.

Terrance Berscheid

Assistant Director, Youth Education BC/Yukon, Radio Amateurs of Canada [email protected]

The material on Youth Education does indeed reflect what is at the RAC website; this is as RAC wishes the information be displayed. I don't see anything within the policies and guidelines which prohibit 'promotion' -- and that term would only loosely apply here, as the information is informative about how to become involved in a social program for the common good. And it definitely is not an ad. VE7TBC

  • Smerge or Delete Reads like an advert to me; it's certainly not NPOV or neutral in tone. Insert a paragraph at most into the Canada radio amateurs article. (formerly g0---). --kingboyk 01:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Intact: This obviously is no "ad", at least not in any commercial sense. Surely enthusiasm in a description is not cause for deletion. This is a summary of an obviously excellent program (YEP) aimed at youth. There is no fee levied. Radio Amateurs of Canada is a not-for-profit organization representing the interests of federally licenced Radio Amateurs across Canada. That means promoting what is not only a hobby but a valuable service. Witness the fact that RAC sponsors the Amateur Radio Emergency Service which offers trained and equipped volunteers, all at their own expense, in times of emergency, such as floods, hurricanes, forest fires, ice storms and tornadoes, to name a few. Not only does the RAC YEP encourage an understanding and appreciation for this hobby/service, but it offers a fun way of learning many educational basics, including mathematics, physics and geography. This article should definitely not be deleted. No valid argument has been made for such a drastic action. --ve3bdb 0321Z 19Apr06

  • Comment -- Look, I'm a licensed ham myself and I understand the importance of youth outreach -- the hobby isn't getting any younger and a lot of those involved in it now are snarky and unpleasant old men. But Wikipedia is not a promotional venue, and this in my book comes off as an ad, or at the very least a press release, neither of which has any place on Wikipedia. At the very least this article needs a massive rewrite into a simple description of the program from an outside POV; realistically, this particular part of RAC isn't notable enough on its own for a separate article to begin with and really should be added to the main article on the RAC. I would say exactly the same thing about an equivalent subdivision of the ARRL or RSGB -- the groups themselves are notable, but individual sections of them aren't, any more than a special interest group of something like the Association for Computing Machinery would be (and the ACM is much bigger). A final point is that no one, not the authors of the page, nor the subject, has final say over what a Wikipedia article says. Some governing body may have written and approved the article, but it isn't theirs to control -- once it goes on Wikipedia, the author gives up control. Haikupoet 04:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree totally. (And, for the record, I passed my RAE - British exam - at 14, and got my full Class A at 17. However, I've given the hobby up in favour of the internet and I can see it dying out if more young people aren't recruited. None of which makes the subject of the article any more notable.) --kingboyk 06:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- It's actually from a TV show, not a game, though I've never seen the show so I can't tell you how accurate it is. It's basically the equivalent of List of Dragon Ball special abilities, except about the One Piece franchise instead of the Dragonball franchise, and without the descriptions and pictures. I don't have anything to do with the article but I think it at least deserves a discussion before being deleted, since the Dragonball Attacks article sets precedent. 4.226.111.130 21:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More fancruft that belongs in GameFAQs. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information, not a how-to guide, etc. Calton | Talk 20:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • What makes this different than any of the other special technique lists on Wikipedia? Nothing, really -- and they should all go into the bit bucket as fancruft, minutiae that is not of the slightest interest to anyone outside the circle of fans of those specific shows (and perhaps not even then). Point me to those lists and I'll nominate them for AfD in a hot second. --Calton | Talk 06:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • What makes this article different is that these "special techniques" sound like they're more or less ad-hoc: they aren't used more than once or twice in the show. If some of the techniques are used repeatedly, they might deserve an entry in the main article. Zetawoof(ζ) 04:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same thing applies to a majority of Son Gokuu's techniques in Dragon Ball; he only uses a handful of them more than once or twice. As for these lists being considered "fancruft", fancruft seems to me to be more or less a matter of opinion. Even Wikipedia's policy on such seems to be rather ambiguous on the subject. The S 17:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • That seems a reason to not list those techniques on Son Goku's page, then - not a reason to list more similar information here. As far as fancruft goes, a reasonable working definition (given on WP:CRUFT) is that fancruft is material which is only of interest to a small set of fans, and which has no relevance to the world at large.

  • Delete as being well beyond the level of detail which would be of any interest whatsoever to anyone who did not already know it. Fancruft? I would say so. WP:NOT this indiscriminate. Oh, and what makes it different is that at least two of the other examples, Pokemon and Superman, have a following several orders of magnitude larger. Just zis Guy you know? 17:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • So... you're basing this on relative obscurity? If Bobobo became, say, the new hot thing in the United States, or Europe, or whatever, than that would justify it? The S 18:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, this contributes to what sounds to me like deletion based on cruft, at times (such as this) is based on a Wikieditor's opinion more than the guidelines given by Wikipedia. The S 18:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: If there is an entry for every Pokemon and Digimon creature, or for dark characters in old cult movies, it's totally reasonable to keep an attack list. Part of the sarcasm inherent to the series could be best appreciable with a full description of attacks. Lord Beelzebub (talk • contribs)

The Trouble with Monorails

[edit]

The article is essentially an unverified OR essay arguing against monorails and seems to be constructed entirely out of Weasel Words. --rehpotsirhc 22:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct - I only translated it with an aim of placing the rebuttal in the discussion. I personally disagree with every single word, and wonder why our French friends keep it still. The argument is internally sound enough, but the phrasing is contentious. I only translated it, the objectionable, rather smug language, is not mine. Gordon Vigurs 22:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I spent some time trying to edit this down to a NPOV version, and you end up with nothing that is not already in the "Advantages and disadvantages" section of Monorail. I don't even think this is worth merging or redirecting. The article is inherently POV from its title onwards. Gwernol 23:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Retcon punch

[edit]

Not notable enough for an entry. Minor speculative fan terminology. Only one of a multitude of offhand phrases used to describe something that has yet to be named officially, if it ever will be. Could be considered fancruft. - Chris Griswold 22:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From the article's discussion page, under the heading "delete":

  • Delete There are a variety of terms being used for this, none of them official. If anything, this entry may influence people in thinking it is an official term, encouraging the use. --Chris Griswold 15:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On top of being a neologism, the term appears to be restricted to the comic fandom in general. I don't see any chance of a larger appeal to a general audience, such as with the term Fonzie Syndrome. It's hard to apply "retcon punch" to other types of media.--DoctorWorm7 20:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Maybe allow some time to establish notability? I'm tempted to just call it a Neologism and say delete, but it does seem to be in widespread use in the fandom, and different users have started to reference it in other articles. So it could be argued there's a desire for an article. Really should've waited longer before starting an article though.Furthestshore 14:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge with Superboy-Prime article. It may be a fan term, but it's very widespread, and having encountered it so much offline, I believe we should note it somewhere on wikipedia. Even if its usage doesn't spread beyond comic fandom, anyone doing research in comic history (and having completed a cultural studies paper on Green Lantern, I can tell you it happens) needs to understand where and why this term comes up. Cybertooth85 17:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If 'a wizard did it' is important enough to warrant it's own article, then something that has affected a fictional universe as much as Superboy-Prime's retcon punches should no doubt have it's own article.

Citation? --Chris Griswold 18:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Look at the article Sliding_timescale. Like this it talks about something that clearly exists in comic books, even if it's not an "official" word. This is something that [i]is[/i] important enough to get an article and the article has to go somewhere. A title widely used by fans is the best choice until there's an official word. Did Superboy Prime change coninuity? Yes, verifiably. Do fans make jokes about how far it could go? Yes, not [i]as[/i] verifiable, but there's such a thing as common sense. Is there an official word yet? No, so, within reason, any title for the article would be acceptable, but a word the fans use would be best. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.143.243.114 (talk • contribs) .

List of minor Biblical figures

[edit]

Delete. List is short, incomplete, and will never be complete or useful. All five entrants are profoundly nn and some have lost AfD's. The Bible has tens of thousands of characters and this list will never capture all of them. Prod remover's well-stated rationale is on the article's talk page. See also, this recent discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adina (Biblical name). - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 22:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep - this article was initially created to house minor Biblical figures who should be noted in a truly comprehensive non-paper encyclopedia, but who lack sufficient information to merit an individual article; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uel. It is incorrect to say that the entrants completely lack notability: they are named in the Bible. It is equally incorrect to say that the list will never be complete - there are a finite number of persons so named for whom individual articles would be inappropriate. Granted, some Biblical figures maybe beneath mention on any list, but there are always bound to be some who are worthy of listing, even if they can never be articles. BD2412 T 22:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As long as it is complete, this list will serve a great purpose. Jonathan235 23:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: (1) The Bible does not satisfy the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy or the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guideline as a history source, but the topic here is a subset of Biblical figures, so this is the absolute authority without requiring faith. (2) The problem is the existence of many versions of the Bible, with variations on spelling for some number of those tens of thousands of names. Fact-checking the "begat's" alone would take many hours. (3) Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of trivia, and minor characters in literature are not inherently notable (even if the work is the most-published and most-read book). Major characters like Abraham and Judas Iscariot can be documented showing enough significance for their own articles. Tens of thousands of stubs, each citing a single verse or minor mentions through a single chapter, won't add meaningful content to Wikipedia, and an unmaintainable (or nearly so, even with a 'bot and a problem space limited to a couple of Bible versions like KJV) list won't really improve Wikipedia. We're here for WP levels of completeness, not Biblical or multibiblical levels of completeness. Barno 23:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete or somebody who cares build a bot for just a list, no links nor stubs, in accordance with WP:NOT and my comments above. Barno 23:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think the decision to delete Uel (biblical figure) was a mistake; being mentioned in the Tenach is good enough for being notable, and whereas Wikipedia seems to have a hang-up with short articles, other encyclopedias have no qualms about one-line articles if that's all there is to say about the topic. But given that hang-up, this is the next best. LambiamTalk 00:07, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is particular reason why this list cannot be complete; there are a finite number of characters mentioned in the Bible (elsewise the Bible would be infinitely long!). —Cuiviénen, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 @ 01:45 UTC
    • Are you familiar with the Jewish mystical tradition (I don't remember if it's gematria or one other one) that the Torah (Bible's Old Testament) can have its letters rearranged to reveal true meaning? That would be "technically finite, but might as well be infinite". Barno 02:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Useful. The Bible does not have tens of thousands of named individuals - my guess is a 100—200, tops. Fishhead64 02:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP's Bible article claims there are 773,692 words in the King James version. Do you believe such a low percentage are names and such a low percentage of those are non-repeats? I don't. There are whole chunks of genealogy in there, tribal histories, battle histories. Barno 02:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Response I rather doubt that the single mentions of those in the geneaologies and battle histories would be included (and I wasn't), but even if they were, do you really think the number of names will exceed 1000? I don't think they would exceed 500. Fishhead64 02:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hey, I'm not saying every single name in the Bible should necessarily be listed here - but names that are just below the threshold for individual articles definitely should be, and the rest... well, if they don't make it in that's fine, and if they do, that's gravy. BD2412 T 02:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - it seems that at least one of the names (Abdeel) was originally an article (not a redirect) created as part of the WikiProject for missing articles, in particular for the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary. The redirect was created without discussion. I would not like to see this list developed as an excuse/reason to delete/redirect Easton's articles because they are short articles. —ERcheck @ 04:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's better for the encyclopedia - and better for the reader - to have such names for which there is scant information grouped together. Note that no information from Abdeel was deleted, it was simply moved to a different location. Any person interested in learning what there is to say for Abdeel would have found the information, surrounded by other fascinating tidbits. BD2412 T 13:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: A single article with Biblical figures that merit a line or two would be better than dozens of stubs that will never be expanded. Maybe rename as it's not really in the style of most 'List of...' articles, and it doesn't seem that it was intended to be an exhaustive list of obscure names.

Jamal Morelli

[edit]

Despite its relative length, this is clearly a vanity article about an obscure individual. Please note that his main claim to fame is a short student film. The rest of the information, such as about his political activism or interest in learning Moroccan Arabic, is utterly irrelevant and unnoteworthy. There were also inappropriate mentions of this individual in other articles, such as a bizarre in suggestion in Cuckold that unfaithful women shout "Jam! All! More!" while having sex with their husbands as a way to evoke Jamal Morelli, the real object of their desire; another example is this mention under Fes: "the Ville Nouvelle is a bustling commercial center with a popular American Language Center and filmmaker Jamal Morelli's studio." Finally, every result on Google seems to be either a Wikipedia article on which his name (inappropriately) appears, or from sites such as answers.com that reflect Wikipedia's content.Wfgiuliano 22:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT DELETE - and please stop deleting everything on Jamal Morelli which I and others have created. I tried to get rid of horrible things like the JAM ALL MORE; people have tried and then it is put back on. Jamal Morelli deserves to be included as a man of note for his contributions to art, peace, Moroccan/American exchanges. The assessment of his life work is strange. Interest in Moroccan Arabic? He brought it to the racist South during a time people were being arrested for that. Jamal Morelli is known as the first male Muslim artist to work with 20,000 people strong Fellowship of Isis. He worked with recording star Myshkin. And "Secrets of the Sisterhood" was not a student film. I feel hurt that so much work is just scrapped in an instant.

And as far as an interest in Moroccan Arabic being in some way subversive or novel in the late 20c! my whole (American) family took courses in it in 1963‑65.... Bill 20:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete: Who said it was subversive? Where does it say he was interested in it? Jamal Morelli was the first to bring Moroccan Arabic to New Orleans - this is, and was, a great achievement. Why is Nadia's work (and ours) being completely wiped out by Wfgiuliano? Our artists are not represented at all. And Bill, at the ALC in Fes, they still use the only Dictionary of Moroccan Arabic from Georgetown University - 1960-1965! We are excited at someone taking our culture abroad at a time of incredible hate between cultures. I am sorry the cafe is not letting me to log in. But I will try somewhere else. Please, be considerate of the fact we have to pay to contribute each time. Thank you for patience and forgive errors, Khalid Idrissi.


Oh, boy! This started as a simple good deed: getting a particularly obnoxious vanity page deleted from our beloved Wikipedia. Now it has turned into a crazy (albeit somewhat amusing) cultural battle.

>Interest in Moroccan Arabic? He brought it to the racist South during a time people were being >arrested for that.

That is such sheer lunacy that it's actually funny! It's really one of the most preposterous statements I have ever read. I wonder if Mr. Morelli has been telling his Moroccan friends that he risked his liberty, life, and limb in order to heroically bring the forbidden language, Moroccan Arabic, to the benighted American South? I think Jamal Morelli must really be a character, if not he surely suffers from paranoid delusions.

>We are not equipped here in Morocco with endless amounts of time in cybercafes (no, we don't have
>as many computers at our homes as you do)
>Please, be considerate of the fact we have to pay to contribute each time.

Uh, no, we won't be considerate of that, or at least we shouldn't. Such statements are logical fallacies (appeals to pity). What everyone should do instead is to consider your arguments on their intrinsic merit, or lack thereof.Wfgiuliano 05:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

we will not be able to compete with you, mister wfgiuliano. you are quite violent. and if the most preposterous statement you have ever read is that during the years of 2002 on people were be arrested for arabic sympathies, with respect to you, sir, read more.

For the information of the anonymous individual: the current American governmment, for which I have little sympathy, is actually promoting the study of Arabic in this country in order to have Americans who can help them wage further wars of aggression. Therefore, "bringing Moroccan Arabic" to the US could not possibly land anyone in sunny Guantánamo since it coincides with government policy. And since you seem to have a very poor understanding of the US, let me explain something else to you: the reason why courses in Moroccan Arabic are rare in the US is not because teaching it is unlawful or frowned upon; it is simply because too few people are interested in it. The many Americans currently learning Arabic are usually sensible enough to study modern standard Arabic rather than dialectal forms of the language, which would make about as much sense as someone from China learning Gullah or Hiberno-English.

NNDB

[edit]

Was given {{prod}}, removed with odd edit summary so brought here instead.
NNDB does not appear to satisfy the guideline for inclusion of websites. Google news only shows a single line in a single "net guide" column in the Edmonton Sun. While a Google search does return 24,600 hits, there are only 150 unique. Even with this dearth of hits, almost none of these are about the NNDB, but are all of the order of "See Britney/Cher/Hawking/brenneman at the Notable Names Database." This page is heavily linked thanks to having its own template but as there is no independant verification possible it should be deleted.

OK, sorry about the protocol breach. I was not sure what the right thing to do was. I will merely note that the statement of "150 unique" is false, and to see the fourth bullet point below. Quatloo 08:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other details:

  • Alexa ranking is 3,757, which indicates a traffic of 150-200,000 unique visitors/day. By contrast, the website for the Biography Channel (an American cable channel, which also publishes its own magazine, Biography) is 34,893, and Encyclopedia Britannica is 2,864.
  • It is far and away the most popular website on the Internet devoted to general biography.
Someone asked for a citation. A proper citation is not specifically necessary here because this is not an article. However, I will humor you, so I did this: [43] (Yahoo) and [44] (DMOZ), plus [45] and [46] (the top 100 results for Google searches of Biography or Biographies, extracting anything that purported to be a site devoted to general biography). All I correlated with [47], Alexa. That dragnet, simple as it is, would certainly have unearthed any site that met the criteria. Nothing came close.
  • Almost nobody refers to it as the Notable Names Database, which explains the dearth of hits with that name.
  • The figure of "150 unique results" returned in a Google search, given in the AfD above is patently false. This person simply went to the end of the Google results and assumed that since there were no more results returned by Google, that is all there is and all pages are copies of these. This is wrong. For reasons of speed, Google trims the results -- this does not mean this is all the unique ones there are. This is true of all searches. By this person's logic, there are only 856 unique results returned for the English word "cat", which is simply absurd. The message displayed on the last Google page returned for "cat" (86th page) is, "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 857 already displayed." Out of 676,000,000 total results. Under this presumption, 99.99987% of all web pages are duplicates of others. Of course your mileage may vary depending on which Google datacenter you hit.

Even author admits that dragons are not real, but goes on to list types of species that are "known." If species names belong to a game, book, or movie, etc., they should be moved to the page appropriate to the source. Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 23:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of dragons, which could have a section Dragon species, but hardly the present list: since no context is given, it is both useless and unverifiable. LambiamTalk 00:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect as above. Additionally "dragon species" is extremely vague and could apply to many legendaria containing dragons, not all of which agree with each other. —Cuiviénen, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 @ 01:47 UTC
  • Redirect to "List of Dragons" per above, or source and merge to "List of Dragons" or the main "Dragon" article. -- Saberwyn 03:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Horrible abuse of the word 'species'. Something like "List of dragon species in insert-fictional-universe-here" could conceivably make an article, but not a universal list. Any "species" of dragon could only be meaningful in the context of a particular work of fiction, so the various types could not belong together on the same list.
