- Josefa Salas Mateo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
Stub article on very old person, with an assertion of notability (having been world's oldest person for a while), but no sign of any substantial coverage in reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO. Mateo is already listed in Oldest people and in Oldest validated person by year of birth; this is quite sufficient unless substantial coverage is available in reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO, and my google searches found none. I suggest deletion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or Merge No substantial independent, reliable sources to establish meeting WP:N or WP:BIO. Nothing here that couldn't be summarized in the many supercentenarian lists. Cheers, CP 23:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The guiness book of record claim is very strong. It would be a reliable source. If anyone can reproduce that, I think notability is sufficiently established. If not, and no other reliable soures turn up, delete. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no reason to doubt that the Guinness Book of Records claim is genuine, and it can be easily verified in any library. However, such entries are not substantial, and do not satisfy WP:BIO's requirement of substantial coverage. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The guiness book of records being reliable, but trivial coverage, and several so-so sources on the internet from not so established sources giving some coverage is just on the better side of notable for me. weakest keep Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 00:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Since we're talking about "I could live with that," I guess it's about weighing 2 arguments, people who are for deletion: "I could not live with the fact that this factoid has it's own article," and, people who are against deletion: "I could not live with the fact that this factoid is on a table and doesn't have it's own article." Well for me - I could sleep well at night regardless of whether an article exists or not. But I guess the damage done to me over the existence of an article is smaller than my will to delete an article that does exist. Otherwise, I don't think it's about "I too could live with that." If this article really is a factoid and fails all other policies, it doesn't need an AfD. Neal (talk) 14:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Michael Willis[edit]
- Michael Willis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
The article claims that this teacher at Brentwood School is considered to be one of history's greatest political thinkers alongside Hobbes, Locke and Burke. However, the article cites no sources verifying this claim and I have been unable to find any. Capitalistroadster (talk) 23:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. jj137 ♠ Talk 23:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless we can find verifiable sources. The only hope I see is in his books. I see no more than local notability. There are lots of Michael Willis's out there, more than I was willing to sift through. If you think the subject is amazing now, look at what I cleaned out. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 00:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Primout[edit]
Article on a very old French woman, for whom the only avaialble ref in a remotely reliable source is one line in a list. I tried a Google search, but found no reliable sources; and even though she died in 2005, Google news gave me no hits at all. So far as I can see, most of the contents of the article are original research by members of the Worlds Oldest People yahoogroup; if timmed back to verifiable material, this article would amount to no more than year of death and age at death. She is already listed in National longevity recordholders, Oldest people, List of the oldest people, which is quite sufficient when so little verifiable material is available. Unless substantial coverage can be found in reliable sources, this article should be deleted. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for researchers to publish their original research. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

non-notable book - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- On the fence here. The book doesn't get a lot of returns for searches, but then it was published in 1987, and it's unlikely there would be a lot of reviews available online for it. But... it hit the New York Times bestseller list for paperbacks at #13[2] and was on the list for several weeks[3] at least. It's not exactly easy to get on the NYT best-seller list, so sales must have been quite strong. Weak keep based on that, with hopes that someone would be able to turn up more than I.

The article's subject, a college student, claims notability for reactivating a student political organization. Sources for biography include Myspace and Facebook, and websites of schools he attended.

The ourcampaigns.com page is marked as having been last edited on Oct. 23rd, 2006, and has the exact same text as an edit of the Wikipedia article that is dated September 27th, 2006. The problem is that we do not have access to edit histories for pages outside Wikimedia: only the editors themselves have access to that, and many of them don't even bother keeping one. The article has never been flagged as copyvio, even by bots, even for its first AfD discussion. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 21:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per all of above. Also, a page being subject to "frequent vandalism" is not a criteria for deletion. This page previously passed AfD easily.

Kempo[edit]
This article, which purports to be a disambiguation page, consists exclusively of a list of martial arts schools or organizations which use the word "kempo" or "kenpo" as part of their name. This is not appropriate material for a disambiguation page per MOS:DAB. There is only one meaning of the term "kempo", and it is described at the article using the term's correct spelling, at kenpō. The articles linked at this disambiguation page are not articles which may be confused with kenpō or kempo, but rather are about schools that practice kenpō (regardless of how they choose to spell it). Kempo should properly redirect to the correct spelling at kenpō, and descendant schools should be discussed at that article, or at worst, linked to in the "see also" section. Bradford44 (talk) 18:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of martial arts-related deletions. Bradford44 (talk) 18:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC) [reply]
- Merge then Redirect - The nominator is right; anyone searching for that term will most likely be looking for a general description using a variant spelling,so redirecting it to Kenpō is appropriate. Also, if any of the articles in the current disambiguation page are not included in the section Kenpō#Notable_schools_of_kenp.C5.8D of the main article, merge the wiki-links in. ◄Zahakiel► 18:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- agree. Both 'kenpo' and 'kempo' have similar search counts in google. An naive user might search wiki with either term. Kenpō is correct but they should also find a list of variant topics. jmcw (talk) 23:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - sorry, but the "correct spelling" comment suggests non-neutrality IMO. It seems to me that each respective martial art can choose their respective correct spelling just as well as their collection of techniques and protocols. Besides, doesn't this spelling include a character that is not in the English alphabet? This is the English language Wikipedia after all. Tparameter (talk) 19:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's "correct" because the WP:MOS-JP says to "spell," or more accurately, transliterate, the term according to the system of Revised Hepburn romanization. So it's the "correct spelling" because a manual of style says to spell it that way, not as a result of any opinion I may have, or because there is a universally "correct" way to write Japanese using the Latin alphabet. Regarding your second question, perhaps you should review the WP:MOS-JP generally on the use of macrons in Wikipedia. When a foreign term (such as kenpō) is part of the official name of an organization, group, school, etc..., that organization's spelling is respected insofar as the name of the organization is concerned. For example, you might have an article whose lead starts with, "Kiyojute Ryu Kempo is a modern martial arts school that teaches kenpō." Otherwise, we follow the conventions articulated at WP:MOS-JP for transliteration of Japanese. Bradford44 (talk) 20:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- We're talking about apples and oranges here. You're assuming that these people are making a mistake in translation. I'm saying that they may be - but, it may also be the case that the name of their style is "kempo", period. The techniques changed, the protocols changed, the ranking changed, the style changed, and the name changed. Again, it seems to me that if someone's style of martial art diverges from it's origin, which is often the case, it may well be that the name does as well. So, "correct" or "incorrect" spelling may not be the best characterization, in that case. You can translate Japanese using various manuals of style, but Big Joe's Kempo, hypothetically, may not be Japanese in the first place.Tparameter (talk) 04:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I nominated this for sd when it was just a one line blurb. It has been expanded, but it still looks to me like a game which will never be made. I mean, all the article says is that in the credits of Croc 2 it says that Croc will return? And that game was released eight years or so ago? We need much more than that. Sometimes an upcoming video game is deserving of an article (Halo, Madden), but we need proof that the game is actually being produced. faithless (speak) 19:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The references for this article don't refer to 'Hormonal meat' - they are google searches for a whole long list of terms using OR separators between each.

- The title of the article is an OR synthesis, and it frames the subject. If the subject, framed by the title, constitutes original research then the content of the article belongs somewhere else, perhaps in an article about natural foods, naturalist activism, free range initiatives/ organizations, hormones, or meat. The article as it was written added no realiable, notable, verifiable etc. information to the encyclopedia, which is why I proposed deleting it.

7th Muslim Brigade[edit]
- 7th Muslim Brigade (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
A couple of problems with this article:
- It claims to be about the "7th Muslim Brigade", a former unit of the Bosnian Army (ABiH) that has now been disolved, while it is really about the Bosnian Mujahideen (which, oddly, the intro says it's not).
- WP:OR as the article is based on interpretation of primary sources not references of secondary sources
- WP:POV and WP:COATRACK as the article is used as a partisan commentary on the nature of the Bosnian War
- WP:SPS as one of the main sources is a self-published article by a little-known person on a Bosniak nationalist/Islamist website.
I wish I could say that the article should be kept and rewritten to actually cover the 7th Muslim Brigade. However, until such an article is written, I strike that this article be deleted. [A more detailed description of my issues with the article are available on the Talk page] Osli73 (talk) 16:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanupnotable topic, despite the problematic treatment here. Severe problems with POV - this article could have been lifted verbatim off a Bosniak-nationalist website, as it treats contentious partisan claims as fact and veers into coatrack territory when discussing the other two sides. Sourcing to ICTY is problematic in some cases, as the citations often do not verify the text. However, ultimately the 7th Brigade deserves to have an article, and there is some good information here. Many of the "factual" statements could be rephrased as Bosniak POV and balanced with competing claims from other sources. <eleland/talkedits> 17:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Changing vote to Delete and replace now that i've taken a closer look through it. There is actually no information here about 7th Brigade beyond "Brigade in ARBiH, fought during the 1992-95 Bosnian War, over 1,000 local soldiers, part of the 3rd corps of the Bosnian Army." Literally everything else is about foreign volunteers, Serb/Croat propaganda related to foreign volunteers, Serb/Croat propaganda not related to foreign volunteers... it's an awful mess. <eleland/talkedits> 18:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: Osli73 (the user who nominated the article) is user with the long block log, who vandalised Wikipedia so many times. He wrote Bosnian Mujahideen article because he didn't like 7th Muslim Brigade which covers the topic (the second one is with the offical name, the first one is with the name fabricated by Osli73). His Bosnian Mujahideen article is now mediated as you can see here Talk:Bosnian Mujahideen, and probably it will be redirected to 7th Muslim Brigade. Regarding the sources, they are relaible per WP:RS (International court verdicts), so Osli73 is wrong when he tried to deceive other user once more. The Dragon of Bosnia (talk) 09:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Besides the POV writing, the twin problem here is that (1) this article is quite clear in that it is "not" about the Bosnian Mujahideen but then goes on to only (2) talk about the Bosnian Mujahideen. I would have no problem with this article if it were truly about the 7th Muslim Brigade. However, the problem is that it mainly deals with the Mujahideen and Serbian and Croatian propaganda related to that. That's why I suggest deleting it for now. If someone wants to write a proper article about the 7th, I'm all for it.Osli73 (talk) 18:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The brigade was a Bosniak Mujahideen brigade (a self-titled "Muslim Liberation Brigade") of the Bosnian Army and should therefore be included in the Bosnian Mujahideen article (if certain editors will allow). --Hereward77 (talk) 18:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and clean-up. The 7th Muslim Brigade obviously existed and there is something to be written about it through legitimate sources - I don't see what the problem is here. The excess information people are complaining about can simply be moved over to "the role of foreign fighters in the Bosnian war" - problem solved. Live Forever (talk) 00:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, This article needs some serious attention, large sections needs to be weeded out, but deletion is not the answer. The Islamic volunteers were recruited into the ABiH, and were given BiH citizenships. Since they became BiH citizens, perhaps it has been possible to retrospecitvely claim that they were not 'foreigners'. --Soman (talk) 11:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article started as a song text. After discussion as to the legality of this, it was altered and became a discussion of the song and its significance. As I speak Indonesian and know something about Indonesian culture, I added my two cents. However, somebody has now clapped so many tags on the article that they take up as much space as the text itself. Probably this editor knows more about the subject than I do, and therefore is aware of improvements which could be made. As I myself see no room for improvement on this sort of subject at all (a brief discussion, to my mind, is all that is required, and a brief discussion this is) I am at a loss, and I think it would be more elegant and indeed more generous to remove the article altogether than to let it exist, no doubt for years and years, encumbered with these labels. They do not contribute to the article's quality: to my mind, it is not a bad text, and indeed is informative, but then I have cooperated on it myself.

Nonsense. Original research. May's theorem doesn't say that the plurality method was the unique form of voting that satisfies certain conditions. May's theorem rather says that when there are only two options then the plurality method is the unique form of voting with certain conditions. Thus May's theorem is not about a concrete voting method; it is about a concept of majority. POV. This article contains too many weasel words ("straightforward form of voting", "intuitively the most obvious example of democratic procedures"). Many parts of this article are complete nonsense. For example:
So the author claims that, as the plurality method is strategy-proof in the two-option case, manipulation of the plurality method is also difficult in the multi-option case. This is complete nonsense as almost every voting method is identical to the plurality method in the two-option case. Therefore, the claim that May's theorem supports the plurality method is nonsense (original research at best). Yellowbeard (talk) 11:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello: I am responsible for the revision of the article on this non-existent recording. I added the change to the article because the information is erroneous, completely lacking in factual basis, based on hearsay and detrimental to a complete and authentic history of the early years of the group Napalm Death... Please delete it as you have no verifiable evidence that the tape ever existed, whereas I have articles dating from 1981, recordings from 1982 onwards, and other information in my personal archive (including being the composer of the song 'Punk is a Rotting Corpse' and in possession of the original document detailing the lyrics and music) which would tend to prove the lack of existence of such a recording... I have made a complete and accurate list of demo recordings by the band between 1982 and 1986 as part of the Discography section of the Napalm Death entry... The reason it is mentioned on Napalm Death's official website is that none of the current members of the band (who provide information for the 'official' website) know any correct information about the early years of the group (including demo recordings), particularly as none of them had heard of the group before 1986... I can be contacted through my website at www.monium.org.uk if this needs verifying... - - Nicholas Bullen (founder member of Napalm Death and composer of the song 'Punk is a Rotting Corpse) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.171.115 (talk • contribs)
- As far as I can see, there is NO controversy to address. People who believe this tape exists are taking hearsay and 'chinese whispers' at face value, and presenting unverified Internet-based data as valid information. As the composer of the song, I resent having incorrect, erroneous and misleading information about my creativity displayed anywhere, including Wikipedia. I can provide information about the real demo casette recordings by Napalm Death as can the other founder member and original drummer (Miles Ratledge) with whom I am in regular contact. If anything, this 'debate' is a prime example of the fallibility of the Wikipedia model where erroneous information can become truth through repetition. All I want to know is: WHAT do I have to do to have this incorrect, misleading and information removed from this website (so that it also consequently does not get distributed further through the Internet)?

The result was no consensus. I cannot in any good faith close this as "keep", as the article lacks any sources whatsoever, and is written entirely in an in universe manner. However, these issues were not raised as reasons for deletion to begin with, so cannot be used as reasonable justification to delete the article. Additionally, a number of the "keep" arguments are extremely weak - assertion of notability is meaningless if you are unwilling or unable to provide evidence of such. Given the great number of "keep" arguments, though, I think "no consensus" is best here. I suggest rewriting, and adding sources. Failure to do so may well result in the article being renominated for deletion fairly soon, as a "no consensus" close allows.

Sorry for the delay (Internet connection is erratic, you don't know how much I clicked the Save changes button), I'll copy my comment from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bioelectrification.--Lenticel (talk) 00:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm for keep as long as:
The usefulness of blood electrification is considered a fringe theory, and there are no independent, peer reviewed studies showing that this technique has any significant affect against any of the pathogens claimed. These studies were not peer reviewed, nor were they published in reputable medical journals. There is no evidence that such a method would be effective These experiments have not been duplicated by any credible researchers. To date, no tests have been performed by Health and Safety regulators to determine the safety and effectiveness of blood electrification, and this therapy has not been approved by the US FDA. The granting of patents does not in any way imply Government or scientific approval for such techniques, nor does it imply that they work.
If these are conditions are not met, I'm more than happy to Afd nom this myself.--Lenticel (talk) 00:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable LWizard @ 00:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the QRC to wikipedia because I think it's important for prospective students to be able to see the sort of resources available for them at schools. The QRC is a large presence on campus and positively affects the lives of many students. It also has a substantial operating budget, something I also feel is indicative of its importance. There are certainly a lot of other, much more marginal groups on our campus that have wiki pages - this one comes to mind : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomona_college_organic_farm. But if you decide it's not notable enough I'll respect your decision of course. If you do, can anyone suggest what sort of places I could put it? I added it so that anyone looking at the claremont colleges could see what was available for them on campus. It seems like a shame that it needs to be notable on a global level to be included. I wish I could have read about places like the QRC when I was looking at schools. Doesn't wikipedia have unlimited space? Ramsayem (talk) 06:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If I added a brief description of the QRC to the main page for the claremont consortium and/or Pomona college is that something that would also be stricken from wikipedia? Ramsayem (talk) 10:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page lists only two non-existent articles that are not likely to be created. One was a page previously created but deleted. Middle schools are generally not considered notable. Sebwite (talk) 00:30, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page is not really needed. It lists only two pages: Roland Park, Baltimore itself and Roland Park Country School. There is a very clear link to Roland Park Country School within the Roland Park, Baltimore page. It is not likely that any more pages with "Roland Park" in the title will be created.

Trivial, fancruft. Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, and the intricies of various specific transmissions are simply not notable. Established editors have been deleting this information from the individual pages, and a page dedicated to one show was already deleted via consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prisoner Overseas.

also a number of other people what this information: and providing this information here it stop it being cluttering up the main pages but at the same time keep the info for people to see —Preceding unsigned comment added by 623danger (talk • contribs) 20:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
