Crystal skulls[edit]

  • Comment, VfD tag added on June 22 by user Billhpike, but not listed on the VfD page. I'm adding it now to complete the process. --Sherool 00:51, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - little content, looks unlikly to expand beyond a stub Billhpike 20:06, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - valid topic, and a lot could be (and has been...) written about them. --Rlandmann 23:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and Redirect to Crystal skull, which has pretty much all of the same information in a NPOV and grammatically correct format. Lovelac7 03:04, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect as per above. Is it my imagination or are we seeing a lot of duplicate articles like this of late? Don't folks do searches anymore? 23skidoo 14:10, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect and de-listyfy from VfD. The singular articles is much better and redirect of plurals is normal activity. Pavel Vozenilek 16:47, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the page that's not gibberish. Eixo 03:30, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was that no administrator need delete anything and that further deletion discussion was unnecessary. The discussion came to a unanimous agreement, including the nominator, to keep and to go for redirection instead. The nominator and a second editor, Pavel Vozenilek below, also agreed that the discussion need not continue, and no further comments appeared after three hours. I boldly take this to be consensus for a rapid closure, so that we can devote our time elsewhere. Uncle G 20:05:22, 2005-08-07 (UTC)

Symphonic poems[edit]

actually consists only of a list of poems by Ray Buttigieg a guy who is on a bit of a self-boosting crusade (I just finished partly de-boostering his bio) and whose google results (minus wikipedia mirrors) are nearly all from his own webpage (he does have three out of print hits on amazon, so he is "notable" in the wiki sense.)

SooToday.com[edit]

Alexa ranking is around 81,000. WP:NOT a web directory. Joel7687 00:46, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also note Sootoday.com, which was nominated for a separate VfD vote a few days ago and had a speedy consensus (it was a one-liner), but has now been redirected to this. Whatever consensus is reached on this vote should stand for the redirect as well. Bearcat

  • Actually, to be honest, the site is significant beyond its Alexa rank; it was one of the first local news websites in Canada to emerge as a response to CTV's local news cutbacks (see MCTV). Said cutbacks were one of the most intensely controversial concentration of media ownership issues in Canadian history, which reminds me that I've been meaning to add a section on Canadian media to that article for ages now. Fark also seems to have taken a liking to the site; posts there have linked back to SooToday several times (more than any other Canadian newspaper that I'm aware of, actually.) I've done some initial cleanup on it which makes its notability a bit clearer, so I guess I'm on the keep side. Bearcat 01:49, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • As someone with a personal history in the area, I can confirm this as notable. Keep. CJCurrie 02:00, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per Bearcat. DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know I'm the one who nominated it, but since I never actually typed the word "Delete," I'm going to vote Keep. The Alexa ranking isn't all that bad, I wasn't aware of the information Bearcat presented, and the article looks a lot nicer now. At least this VfD resulted in improvement of the article. --Joel7687 03:04, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • No worries...you couldn't have known. (As written, the article really wasn't making its notability very clear.) Bearcat 03:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keeps as above. DavidH 04:30, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep after re-write. Nice Work!. Hamster Sandwich 04:38, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Wait, I'm confused - is this Faggoth? The closest I could find to notability was that they "have currently recorded four of their own songs which may be on sale at up-coming gigs." ([BBC entertainment section; apparently, a list of Leeds local bands]. Most of the 28 Google hits are text advertising to their MySpace page. Eldereft 04:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dedek Steer[edit]

This article seems to have been made by mistake. The article Napalm Death says they had a guitarist named Bill Steer not Dedek Steer. Nothing links to this page. Google has zero hits for "Dedek Steer". No need to redirect an error no one will make to Bill Steer. RJFJR 01:38, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. I discarded around half a dozen votes prior to vote counting, because the editors looked somewhat sockish or merely new. There were seven valid votes for keep, twelve for delete, two other valid votes. There being no consensus, the article is kept. --Tony SidawayTalk 17:40, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Religion and schizotypy[edit]

This totally non-notable page is likley to be little more than an paean against religion. Hipocrite 01:42, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - sounds like the article could do with expansion though. Rob Church 01:43, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this article is a work in progress. by the by, is Hipocrite a sockpuppet of DreamGuy? his workings almost EXACTLY DreamGuy's style. Gabrielsimon 02:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: No, I'm not. Hipocrite 15:00, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: No, he's not, and no the style isn't even close (for example, this article is clearly not against religion, it was put there so you could rant against psychiatrists, per your conversations on Talk:Otherkin and Talk:Therianthropy, among others), and you are one to talk about sockpuppets, having written the article in question under one. DreamGuy 02:29, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Which is now proven beyond a doubt, see User:Ketrovin's block. DreamGuy 07:01, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - this acrticle could use some reworking, but its not non notable. Khulhy 02:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Considering the prevalence of sockpuppets on articles Gabrielsimon has been fighting over lately, I will have to call upon the official Wikipedia:Sockpuppets policy and point out that this person doesn't come close to the 100 edits one needs to verify oneself as an actual real person and would note that the edits he/she does have are extremely suspicious, jumping into articles closely related to ones Gabrielsimon worked on but that aren't otherwise related. DreamGuy 02:29, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Khulhy is now proven as sockpuppet of Gabrielsimon. DreamGuy 07:01, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Could be a great article soon. CanadianCaesar 02:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As described by User:SlimVirgin on the discussion page, "I can see there being a good article on religion and mental illness, but as this page stands, it's POV, unencyclopedic in the style it's written, and it has no sources. My suggestion is that it be deleted, and the creator (or someone else) puts it on a user subpage and works on it there, until it's ready to face the public, as it were." Also, singling out schizotypy as a specific disorder to mention in the title is really quite odd as it's just one minor classification out of a whole range that would be important for a comparison between religion and psychology in general or mental disorders more specifically. If the article stayed around waiting for cleanup it would just get redirectede to a real article on the topic under a better name, and this title is so specific it's really unnecessary as a redirect as nobody would think to go looking for it instead of, say, Religion and psychology or Religion and mental disorders or whatnot. This article is a completely unsalvagable mess. DreamGuy 02:29, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Comment--your outnumbered, dreamguy. guess that means consensus will be keep.Gabrielsimon 02:33, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Concur with DreamGuy. android79 02:37, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with schizophrenia. Seems NPOV to me, not a paean (or, more correctly, a Jeremiad) against or for anything. But could easily be put inside a larger article, no need to break-out everything. Sdedeo 02:43, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I'm sorry to see things go down this way, but I see little salvagable here. Redirect to Religion and psychology. Friday 05:35, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Hopelessly POV, and unnecessary. An article on all mental illness and religion? Maybe. This? No. Wikibofh 05:43, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article as it stands is close to being List of religious leaders who I think are nuts. A new article with a tighter and more technical focus could work, but scrap this one. FreplySpang (talk) 10:56, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • It is possible to change an article without deleting it ... — David Remahl 11:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • But realistically, is anyone going to in the near future? SlimVirgin (talk) 11:34, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • What SlimVirgin said. Also, I think the hypothetical new article would probably not have the same title. FreplySpang (talk) 12:10, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
    Make it a redirect then. There is nothing in this article that would be unfit to be in the history of the article. — David Remahl 23:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. - grubber 11:29, 2005 August 7 (UTC)
  • Delete. - There is real potential here, but the article as written is totally unsourced and inflammatory. Attempts to insert a little NPOV disclaimer language amount to little more than lipstick on a pig. If no one will take responsibility for improving the article immediately, we are better off deleting and letting someone else re-create when they are ready to commit to making a worthwhile article.--Craigkbryant 14:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. - The relationship between religion, spirituality, or the mystical experience and the schizotypic personality (not the same as a schizophrenic) is a topic of significant psychological research. I've dug up some primary and secondary sources, and would like to clean up the article. If there's a consensus to merge it with a larger topic, that's fine, but I'd like it to stick around for a while as I work on it. Much appreciated. Parker Whittle 19:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Valid topic. Potential to offend religious people is no reason for deletion. Martg76 13:43, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no useful content. Borisblue 14:37, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, baffling personal essay on an over-specific subject. There's probably no reasion this just can't be in religion, where it would fit nicely and do a solid job of offending religious people anyway...crud, did I just type that? Anyway. Lord Bob 17:51, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Interesting and potentially encyclopedic idea, but it cites no references whatsoever. Burden of proof is on the article's author to establish that his/her contribution is not pure speculation or original research by citing references. I'm willing to change my vote if a reference shows up. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:25, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "Comment" It seems unreasonable to expect a diagnosis of schizotypy in any but the most modern case histories. For instance, how would you say Joan of Arc or Joseph Smith or Mohammed etc etc, (in short anybody who has had some kind of faith based epiphany) were suffering from a schizoid disorder? It would be pure speculation in all of these cases because they can never be clinically examined and diagnosed. We can in hindsight say "oh that person diplayed some or all of the symptoms" but with mental illness there are a wide variety of causation, such as chemical imbalance and physical anomalies. For historical figures as outlined in this article it would be impossible to say definitively what the causation of the visions or voices that may or may not have compelled them to action. Hamster Sandwich 22:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While there is no doubt in my mind that there is a link between some people's religious experiences and mental illness (in general), the article in question is potentially offensive speculation about important religious figures with no evidence presented. A researched article on mental illness and religion is encyclopedic, this is not. Sabine's Sunbird 23:53, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is an important part of psychological history. If the tone of the article is inappropriate, please fix the article, but don't delet it. --malathion talk 01:31, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. - If Parker wants to work on it, then it's got a reasonably responsible editor sheparding it. Hipocrite 15:23, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
'DeleteThough Parker made a lot of edits last night, none were to this article, so I don't believe that it's going to get done. Prove me wrong.Hipocrite 12:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{merge|Talk:Religion and schizotypy}}

  • This is such a small amount of information that it should be merged into another article. Forcing everyone to wait around a week, and to VOTE on it is stupid and anti-wiki.
  • People should simply make suggestions on the talk page as usual and make edits and merges as usual
  • It is asinine to generate 5 times more discussion than the amount of text involved here.

So I'm going to cut and paste the contents of this page to talk:Religion and schizotypy. Uncle Ed 11:47, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

There's a VfD going on, you don't just declare yourself right and call it off. This should not be merged or redirected, it should be deleted, and we're still voting on this. DreamGuy 12:05, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Plus, there doesn't appear to be any substantiated information in the article that could be merged anywhere. Vashti 12:07, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

I had moved this to the discussion page, but another editor claimed that doing so was an attempt to bypass the consensus building process, so I am moving it back here. DreamGuy 03:11, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

I've dug up some good primary and secondary (reputable) sources on the link between schizotypy and religious belief, spiritual experience, and what not. I've offered to clean it up in the comments attached to my vote, above. Either way the vote goes, the info will find a home. Parker Whittle 04:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Consequently, if any editors have some sources they'd like to see used on this topic, please reference them on the talk page for the article (preferrably something that's easily obtained). It looks like the article and it's talk page have been deleted, but go ahead and add references there, anyway Parker Whittle 18:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Whoah, as soon as I wrote that the article/talk had been deleted, it returned, disappeared, returned, disappeared like a virtual particle on the event horizon of a black hole. Funky. Parker Whittle 18:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I get it. The "merge" template is screwy; it prepends Wikipedia: to whatever link you pass to it. Parker Whittle 18:26, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Enigmatical Sorority of Van Diemen[edit]

No sources given; no Google hits on "Enigmatical Sorority", let alone "Enigmatical Sorority of Van Dieman." Delete unless good verifiable sources are provided and verified. No indication presented of encyclopedic significance; Wikipedia articles are not genealogical entries. The lack of verifiable sources could lead a reader to infer that the article might be a prank or hoax. The editor who created the article added it to the article on Secret societies (see the history; I removed the entry), indicating that he considers it to be a secret society. Wikipedia only contains material that is verifiable which means that articles on truly secret societies, i.e. societies for which no public, verifiable information exists, must be deleted. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:48, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

      • With what is on evidence so far, yes. Deletion does not prevent future recreation with a full article. --Tim Pope 21:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • If that's your attitude, why bother to delete? You could easily just edit the article to improve it. That is, if one consider wikipedians to be editors and not just robots designed for deleting things. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Why don't you edit it rather than making personal attacks on other editors who are just trying to express their views. --Tim Pope 21:22, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • I apologise if my comment reads like a personal attack--it isn't my intention. The point is that your vote rationale puzzles me. You clearly think the article contains valuable material, because you want it merged; however you instead vote for delete because you think "such sensible moves would be blocked". I find it hard to avoid the conclusion that you are willing to sacrifice good material simply because you can't get consensus for your preferred merge. You then say "deletion does not prevent future creation with a full article", so naturally I ask you: why bother to delete in the first place? The article can be expanded where it is--if you think it needs to be. For myself I am quite happy with the current contents, so it's silly to ask me to edit it. It's a lovely, bijou little stub sitting there inviting someone who knows about the school to write about it. --Tony SidawayTalk 10:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
            • Thank you for your apology. I didn't take personally anyway just as an attack on everyone voting other than keep. I am not keen on schools in wikipedia, at least merging reduces the number of articles about them, but 1 vote to merge amongst all keeps and deletes is a wild goose chase. (and I note some closing admins count them as keeps ;) ) --Tim Pope 16:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
              • I generally assume that people who vote to merge want the information to be retained, since they're voting to have it preserved elsewhere on Wikipedia. Is this not your intention? Factitious 07:49, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • Merges are keeps. This is a fact, and not one that has ever been, or ever will be, seriously disputed. When an article is merged, the material is kept and its history is kept. When an article is deleted, the material and all its editing history is deleted. --Tony SidawayTalk 17:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete non-notable high schools. If notable information exists, put it into the article on Charlotte Public Schools at the district/city level. ESkog 02:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Delete as suggested by ESkog. See Clark County School District for an article that allows for growth of information about individual schools without creating a stub for each one. Vegaswikian 05:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge is probably incompatible with deletion under the GFDL. --Tony SidawayTalk 17:26, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Simply merge the history for the two articles when you do the delete. At least that is what the documentation seems to say you can do. I don't see this as incompatible, just more work. This could explain why so many votes wind up as keep, the admins don't want to do the extra work, and elect to call the vote keep rather than merge and delete. So, maybe this is a good reason to not vote merge and delete, but to simple vote Merge. Vegaswikian 01:47, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Oh I see. A history merge. That is compatible. However I don't see what is gained from this that couldn't be achieved by simply merging and redirecting without deletion, which unlike a history merge is a reversible operation. I'd suggestion that admins probably don't want to do this precisely because once it's done even a sysop cannot undo it.
    • Voting merge won't necessarily get you a merge done for you by the closer. Anybody can do a merge so sometimes a sysop will do it (particularly if there is a consensus to merge--ie, merge votes outnumber all non-merge votes by a considerable margin, which is very rare), and often he'll leave that decision up to other editors, who are perfectly capable of doing it themselves.
    • There isn't a sysop "merge" button that a sysop can press to do a merge, it's an editing operation and often requires good judgement and knowledge of the material that, being chosen maybe for his clerical abilities and general reliability, a sysop does not necessarily have. --Tony SidawayTalk 12:16, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ok, just so we're clear, you agree your comment "Probably not compatible with the GFDL" was incorrect? Can we further agree that you'll no longer use this as an oft- repeated argument against delete and merge? I'll interpret no response as "yes" and "yes". - brenneman(t)(c) 00:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • For the record, no and no. And it's preposterous to make these little assumptions--what if the editor you're addressing should happen not to read your comment, as I nearly did not? Have you by any chance recently been a denizen of some kind of flame forum?
      • Clearly it would be impractical to perform such a complex and irreversible procedure just to comply with a license, when a simple paste-and-redirect merge achieves precisely the same result in a reversible manner without any license issues. Also as a closer I'd not expect to see a discussion ending in a consensus "merge and delete", if only because it's a patently perverse vote. Having refined the argument, I shall reuse it to much greater effect. --Tony SidawayTalk 15:37, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • If you search with Accoona, and see the results, everything is linked through Overture, a Yahoo! site, so it is not what it claims.

Wings of Voyage[edit]

Delete I accidentally submitted this article while it was in an extremely incomplete state. ~ Jake 03:32, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, but because of non-notoriety. Assuming you're Jake from this sonicstadium.org message board, Wings of Voyage is an online story written by you. In my opinion, this isn't enough to warrant an article. If I'm wrong about my assumption, please disregard my vote. -D. Wu 04:54, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, I was going to use this article as a means of compiling information, themes, and such about it; the idea that my intention was to advertise it is quite false, since I am quite aware (yet unfazed by the fact that) my story will remain unpopular. For an idea of how the finished article would have looked like, refer to an article regarding an actual novel such as "1984" by George Orwell, which is far from being an advertisement for the book. Still, by all means I'm wanting this void article to be removed at the moment. If, however, you are saying that this article should be deleted because of non-popularity, I suppose I can't do much other than to refrain from posting this article, regardless of whatever content I may put in it. Since I am fairly new at this and probably missed a few things in the guidelines of what and what not to post as an article, thank you for pointing this out. ~ Jake 11:26, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • If you have a company thats notable you have to actually move beyond the developmental stage of your operations, remember Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Thats not to say you shouldn't have an article here in the future. Generally speaking, it is better to have the notability as a company, or as an individual that other people who aren't your friends, family members (or particularly yourself) would want to write about or read a story about you and/or Milliteq. I happen to know a guy who owns a company called Millitex and he does a great business. Drives a sweet Porche. They do special paint jobs for military vehicles. And I doubt he'd get an article here in the Wikipedia as you can see by the red link (like this one) on his company name. You have to establish real notability or notariety to get an article in. Try editing about a subject you have a real interest in, maybe you can contribute something positive to the knowledge base here. Good luck with your company BTW, I hope you do make it big enough to get in here someday! If you establish a user page I could have discussed all this with you in that space.

Discrete Recordings

Remember that the "recreation" speedy deletion clause is for "substantially similar content, so if someone makes another article about this record label, with more content than the one which is being deleted now, this VFD debate should NOT be used as justification to speedy delete it as a recreation.

Original Pilipino Music[edit]

Original Pilipino Music (frequently abbreviated to OPM) is original music created by anyone of Philippine descent. Oh yes, I'm sure it's frequently abbreviated. Can we abbreviate it as DEL instead? —Wahoofive (talk) 05:42, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I consider OPMs to be a subset of Music of the Philippines. Somehow it wouldn't be right to call traditional music OPM. But that's my feeling, I could be wrong. --Chris 20:56, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • DEL? No; keep... Google it, please. ;-) It's a common abbreviation of a valid musical genre, and there are different ways to spell Filipino. (OPM actually includes many genres; there is also Pinoy rap as well as Pinoy rock and other genres. In short, it's all music made by Filipinos anywhere, not necessarily in the Philippines or limited to classic Philippine music.) This article is relatively new, having only been edited by an anon, one other registered user, and myself, so of course it is a stub. If one of our experienced Filipino editors gets ahold of this (I am not Filipino and have never been to the Philippines; I just wrote what I could!), then it could presumably become a more complete article and thus more worthy of inclusion. I think this is just a case of VfDing an article that should have just been expanded by somebody who knew more about the topic. --Idont Havaname 04:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment the Google test doesn't prove much by itself; Googling "Original American music" or a similar variation also generates lots of hits. Does this phrase mean more than the sum of the individual words? —Wahoofive (talk) 07:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • It seems that it does, if you look at the Google results themselves for both OPM and original American music. The latter is often used to describe one artist for self-promotion or in some historical context, and while used by many artists there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on what it is. I've listed this VfD at Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines; hopefully some of their editors will come here and vote. --Idont Havaname 15:09, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The name or term OPM (Original Pilipino Music) is very popular. It was coined by the late noted journalist Teodoro "Doroy" Valencia (famous for his column "Over a Cup of Coffee"). --Saluyot 01:30, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. In Philippine record stores, you can find an OPM category and it is as many as other categories in the store. Also, we can add the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit in the OPM disambiguation page. It is an organization for Filipino professional singers in the Philippines. --Jojit fb 03:16, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment This is why I love Wikipedia. I learn something new everyday. Thanks to on-the-ball editors like yourselves. Please feel free to expand this article. I won't withhold a vote to keep. Hamster Sandwich 03:19, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep However, the article really needs revision because its meaning in the present form of the article doesn't jive with how many, if not most, Filipinos define the term OPM. According to the article, as of this date, "OPM is original music created by anyone of Philippine descent. It can be in any genre, and its lyrics can be in any language." This is misleading. As far as I know, many Filipino artists (especially the more commercialized Pop music performers) limit the term OPM to Filipino Pop songs, especially those in the ballad form, popularize by artists like Martin Nievera, Rey Valera, Sharon Cuneta, and APO Hiking Society. I think, it's time to define OPM clearly. Should it refer only to Filipino Pop ballads, or should it finally mean: "OPM is simply Filipino music, or any type of music produced in the Philippines or by Filipinos regardless of their location when they composed it"? If this now becomes the more sensible and simple meaning, then OPM would become the mother umbrella of specific genres like Filipino (Pinoy) Rock, Filipino Jazz, Filipino Rap / Hip hop, Filipino Folk, etc. And I am for this more plain and sensible definition. --eLf_ideas 14:53, August 13, 2005 (CT)

  • Wikisource isn't the correct place for raw lists of jokes. The Jokebook at Wikibooks is. This article was originally labelled as such during the prior VFD discussion, but the label was subsequently removed. The reason that things haven't moved from the transwiki queues is nothing to do with whether the target project wants them, and everything to do with the willingness of editors here at Wikipedia to actually perform the work of transwikification. Ironically, and entirely coincidentally, I was hoping to have a go at the Wikisource queue today. Uncle G 12:24:17, 2005-08-07 (UTC)

  • Keep but Improve. There is a long history of mathematicians speculating on the nature of god - speculation is their job - and the idea of god is entangled with the idea of infinity which mathematicians can be said to have a particular viewpoint on.

  • Delete. A collection of quotes belongs into an encyclopedia exactly why?
  • Strong delete. Not an article. NPOV. Quotation collection. Positive: mathematicians, history. Negative: no context, unverified (?) quotations, missing Taoists (and Muslims, etc.), no finite bounds, potentially highly offensive to followers of IPU. Consider this quotation about Newton's occultism: "Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians." — John Maynard Keynes. But the page not only assumes existence of a "God", it lumps the "God" of Newton with the "God" of Erdös, which is absurd. KSmrq 11:01, 2005 August 16 (UTC)
  • Comment: What I seem to be seeing generally here is delete votes because the article is just a collection of quotes and is POV, and keep votes because the history of mathematics in relation to religion is a valid history subject. What I propose is move this article to something like Mathematics and Religion or Mathematics and Spirituality and turn it into an article on the historical relation between the two. Or just start a new article at one of these places and remove this one. How does that strike y'all? The Swami 17:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone explain exactly why they believe that the title "Mathematics and God" is POV? Would it be better if we put quotes around the word "God"? The title "Mathematics and deities" sounds wrong to me. It is not clear to me that the article is talking about several gods. I would guess that with the possible exception of Plato, all the quotes here are talking about a monotheistic notion of "God". "Mathematics and religion" also sounds wrong to me, it is not about religion (or spirituality) per se. It seems to me that this article is about an idea. An idea, as expressed by several famous mathematics, about the relationship between mathematics and the notion of a supreme being they called "God" — perhaps seriously, perhaps metaphorically, perhaps jokingly. And in so doing, I would guess, they were also trying to say something important, about mathematics and its relationship to the world we live in. I think, the fact that these mathematicians thought this idea was important, means it is important, if only for the reason that they thought so. Their idea is certainly POV, our writing about their idea is not. Paul August ☎ 19:53, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
It's not the title by itself that causes the problem. The POV is caused more by title plus current first paragraph:
A number of famous mathematicians have made connections between mathematics and God, often likening God to a mathematician.
Taken together, these could be read to imply a POV that a God exists. Now, I don't actually read it this way, rather I see this use of the word "God" as a literary device to denote a concept that the average reader will be familiar with, regardless of the beliefs about God that the reader holds. Nevertheless, I think the first reading is quite plausible for many of our readers, and the paragraph is therefore unacceptable as it stands. I would support keeping the current title if the first paragraph was changed so that the overall POV effect was eliminated. Dmharvey File:User dmharvey sig.png Talk 20:21, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a few changes along these lines. Dmharvey File:User dmharvey sig.png Talk 20:48, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it would certainly be POV for Wikipedia to be asserting the existence of "God". And I can see given what Dmharvey has said above that the article and title could be read as doing that. David, has now changed the first paragraph to read:
A number of famous mathematicians have made connections between mathematics and various notions of God.
I hope this has eliminated that particular POV concern. Paul August ☎ 20:52, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
If this is about Mathematics, not mathematicians, where is the formal definition of God? What is the status of the "proofs" mentioned? Are the proofs Constructive? A serious mathematician might view these questions differently from a pulpit preacher or a lay member of the congregation. When Intelligent Design advocates are trying to revise one's science curriculum, one can get twitchy about such sloppiness; it's no longer harmless fun. We (mathematicians) know the proofs are nonsense; they don't. Is there something about the word "God" that causes us to abandon encyclopedia standards? Try this: Substitute Satan or Invisible Pink Unicorn for God and decide if you would still keep the article. Wouldn't you want more confirmation, more context, more discussion, more balanced views? --KSmrq 05:12, 2005 August 19 (UTC)
  • Keep. Some of the items are quotes, but the pseudo-quote attributed to Paul Erdös is not exactly a quote. It could be made more encyclopedic, but I see no reason to delete. The article does not (at the present time) seem to be non-NPOV. Arthur Rubin 22:54, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Agree with comments from User:Paul August. This is a topic that is distinct from any questions about sacred geometry or any other topics in the Category:Philosophy of mathematics. As with certain other VfD's, I am deeply concerned that people who never contribute to math or physics articles (and presumably also don't think much about God in particular or philosophy in general) feel competent to pass judgement on an article outside of thier expertise. linas 23:49, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Latin proverbs[edit]

This was transwikied to wikiquote a while back (q:Latin proverbs), and now exists as an exact copy there. As Angela, Arpingstone, and Quadell have said on the talk page, this is an unencyclopedic list of phrases, and there is precedent for having these on Wikiquote. This is what Wikipeda is not.

  • Comment There does seem to be a precedent for not keeping pages of proverbs on wikipedia, but moving them to wikiquote instead. The links to English, French, German and Portugese proverbs provided at the bottom of the Latin proverbs page are all simple redirects to Wikiquote. Japanese, Polish and Spanish proverbs send one to a brief description of their use, and then once again redirect to wikiquote. Chinese proverbs trys to send one to wiktionary, but that may have been an accidental mistake. Therefor, we either need to send this page to wikiquote, or pull dozens of pages off of there, and back here. (Or at least duplicate the most important proverbs.) However, I don't know which way it should go. --Icelight 18:03, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't see what Wikiquote has to do with it. These are proverbs (the non-proverbs, such as mottos and epigrams, should be removed) and have no place on Wikiquote, not least because they can seldom be attributed. --Tony SidawayTalk 18:18, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think you are misunderstanding the situation (and Wikiquote). Proverbs have always been part of Wikiquote's mandate, since it's founding. They are featured prominently on the main page (just take a look). In fact, Wikiquote's very first, pitful, main page consisted of three links: Albert Einstein, Zen proverbs, and Irish proverbs. This kind of thing is the reason we have Wikiquote. And we at Wikipedia are not the ones to make Wikiquote policy. Also, you're pointing to the other Wikipedias is a bit of a red herring, because all of the Wikipedias have developed their own criteria for inclusion, plenty of subjects have been deleted here but kept on another 'Pedia, or vice versa. We don't follow their precedent, and none of the reasons cited here, like "useful" or "has blue links," make this article encyclopedic. Wiktionary and Wikibooks are both, but we certainly don't want to duplicate them, they still aren't encyclopedic. Dmcdevit·t 21:16, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
        • Okay, I'll take all that on board, while still being completely unable to see that there's a good argument for deletion. If we don't follow Wikiquote's precent, nor that of any of the non-English Wikipedias, then I suggest we completely ignore their existence and just judge the proverbs on their encyclopedic quality, which I think is well nigh unimpeachable. --14:46, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, please. I have used it more than once. Jonathunder 14:15, 2005 August 12 (UTC)
  • Keep, I have used this many times and often wouldn't have thought to look in wikiquote. If wikipedia's search engine gets better, to the point where it automatically searches wiktionary, wikiquote, et cetera then perhaps we can revisit the issue. Until then, keep it in both places and we'll periodically merge them. (It is a nuisance that I often must search both the Latin proverbs and the Latin phrases pages for whichever one I'm thinking of; I was just looking for quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur again tonight). If I use it (as a regular contributor here) then I have to presume that there are thousands silent users who also find it useful.JimD 06:54, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Walton Summit motorway[edit]

Minor roads are not a suitable topic for an encyclopaedia even one which is not paper. Tim Pope 11:16, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, motorways are inherently notable and encyclopedic, regardless of length. Kappa 13:40, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • ... or of actual existence as motorways by that name? Uncle G 15:01:44, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
  • There is simply no such thing as "Walton Summit motorway". The concept of this stretch of road being a wholly separate motorway by that name is a simple invention of a "Pathetic Motorways" web site. (The other occurrences of this name on the Web, such as this one, and on Usenet, such as here, all turn out to have that web site as their source.) If you look at a map of the road you'll see that this is simply a common slip road, that was previously a stretch of "A" class road, but where now non-motorway traffic is barred for the very simple reason that there is no way of exiting that stretch other than by joining a motorway, and that is still labelled as the A6 on some maps. As I have argued before:
    1. The sign on the "Walton Summit motorway" in the photograph on the web site that says "Walton Summit" isn't naming the slip road. It's not a road name sign. It's a direction sign, pointing the way, off the interchange and along the slip road, to Walton Summit.
    2. There are plenty of motorway slip roads and other nameless motorway-class stretches of road in the U.K.. Here are some more. And here. And here.
    3. It's certainly going to be in the interests of a "pathetic motorways" web site (the only source for this information) to build up the importance of a road into a fully-fledged "motorway" simply so that it can have one more target to knock down as "pathetic".
  • Whilst a country's major highways may warrant articles, we should draw the line at articles on their individual slip roads going by invented names. Delete. Uncle G 15:01:44, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
    • OK, lets look at some of the things that you claim. As I have pointed out previously to you, this is an extremely unusual sliproad. Show me another one in the UK that meets two motorways at the same time. Oh, you can't. There isn't one. There is no claim that it is a "fully fledged motorway". In fact, the site states "Really, it's an overgrown sliproad.."
    • Secondly "Walton Summit Motorway" is only a 'working name', until the correct name can be found through more research. This name is in common use throughout the British Roads community. There is no claim anywhere that the signpost pointing down the hill does anything other than point to a destination. Presumably you also don't recognise "Mancunian Way" but only A57(M)...
    • Thirdly, it was never previously a stretch of "A" road. It was new build and opened under motorway restrictions. This claim of being a motorway simply because it accesses a roundabout that meets only motorways is false. See M1 junction 21, for example.
    • Fourthly, I suggest you look up the meaning of "pathetic" properly... Pathetic Motorways does not simply exist to "knock targets down" - there's a heck of a lot of solid research that needs to go on to actually examine small motorways accurately. That's real genuine research that involves trawling round archive material located all around the country. It's not designed to be staid and boring, but interesting for the reader to learn some things. And yes, I'm very annoyed at the suggestion that it is just pure fantasy. You try doing some of the work!
    • However, I vote for Merge with M65 motorway, with possibly a link provided from M61 motorway. It's not important enough to be in Wikipedia in its own right, although it is something that is extremely unusual, so perhaps deserves a mention elsewhere. If it came down to it, I'd go Delete rather than Keep. And I wrote the bloody website! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.173.88.146 (talk • contribs) 11:25, 10 August 2005
  • Keep. It is simply false to claim that the Walton Summit Motorway does not exist. The slip road has become legendary under that name and its status as a stretch of motorway, subject to UK motorway law, is indisputed. --Tony SidawayTalk 15:08, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • The thing that is actually false here is the claim that it has "become legendary under that name". That's uttter rubbish. It hasn't. As I said, the only source for that name, which isn't even in widespread use, let alone "legendary", is the "Pathetic Motorways" web site, which has simply made up that name for a common slip road. There is simply no such thing as "Walton Summit motorway". Uncle G 15:33:45, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
    • All you have established with the above reference is that there is no designated motorway by the name of the "Walton Summit Motorway". I also notice that the above map establishes that there is no such thing as the Newcastle Urban Motorway, nor even the Durham Motorway--two stretches of motorway that I'm intimately acquainted with. Well done: at this rate you'll have proven that there are no roads in Britain except those that are listed under official names on a map produced by the Department of Transport. --Tony SidawayTalk 15:51, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • And assuming this hyperbole were actually true, this exercise of verifiability in action would be a problem how, exactly?
        • There is no verifiability problem; there is simply a case of a guy showing a single map that doesn't list a particular entity. I don't know what you find to be hyperbolae here--is it my statement that the motorways in question aren't named on the map or my statement that they nevertheless do exist? Both statements are verifiably true. --Tony SidawayTalk 16:40, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • On one hand, the name has been picked up by other sources. On the other hand, the naming isn't the best, and it should probably be merged somewhere. But it leads to two roads of equal importance.

B5405 road[edit]

The B5405 road is a 5 km road linking two Staffordshire villages - see it here on Google Maps. It may be useful for the locals to travel from one village to the other, but in the grander scheme of traffic engineering it isn't. B roads are collector roads that funnel traffic into larger arterials. Neither does it have any historic or cultural significance to speak of.

It was nominated here once, back in August, when there was no consensus to delete. See the discussion here. Meanwhile one contributor has added some more local directions, but Wikipedia still isn't a map in words.

Arab Hacker[edit]

please re read original article, it has been updated with a lot of new material as of august 11th

This is a renomination due to the unusual outcome of the first VFD vote. The basis for the original nomination was non-notability. There were 7 Delete votes, plus 3 Merge votes (all of which recommended different pages to which to merge). The presiding admin discarded some of these votes on the grounds of lack of seniority, which apparently upset someone enough to open an RFC. So, let's try this again and see if we can reach a consensus this time. My own vote is delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebug (talk • contribs) 12:41, 7 August 2005

  • Keep. Changed vote; see below; I closed the last VfD, which was inconclusive because most of those voting were too new at the time (this may not be the case if the same people voted again now). The reason for discarding votes was not "lack of seniority" but (mostly) extreme newness--we tend to ignore votes from extremely new voters because of the possibility of sock puppetry.
    • Comment I wasn't doing this in order to attack your original decision; I just wanted to see if consensus could be reached this time. Obviously, what weight to give to the votes of relatively new users is a judgment call. Firebug 02:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, I still don't have seniority, so this may as well be the last time I do this. I have read the article again, it has been re-written, and the re-write is interesting. However, none of the links show that the group the re-written article puports to exist actually exists. The first three links[5][6] [7] are links to defaced pages, on which we see that hackers who claim to be Arabic have had their way with someone's server. However, these three links do not prove the existence of the Arab Hacker group, but merely prove the existence of hackers who claim to be Arabic. There have already been several cases of hackers who claimed to be Chinese or Arabs or what-have-you turning out to be thirteen-year-old script-kiddies, so this literally means nothing. The fourth link[8] is to an article which mentions the FBI is on the lookout for Arab hackers. It does not proport that this group, the Arab Hackers group, exists. Instead, it mentions other groups in specific in the text of the article, and gives an un-cited list-box that has, as one of it's entries, "Arab Hax0rs." It can be argued that this is one and the same with Arab Hackers, but without a citation on the list-box, it is unclear as to where the list originated from. As such, the article seems to me to be poorly cited, offers no real proof that the group named "Arab Hackers" the article covers actually exists, and gets a Delete vote from me.

  • Comment. As the last "keep" vote on this I will just point out that my reasoning for holding out on this group's notability is that it is a yahoo group with 7000+ people [9], this link was included in the latest revision of the article, which seems to point to further evidence in its links. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 04:29, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment The links the article points to alledge that the FBI is trying to catch them. Somehow, I think the FBI would not be trying to catch them if their members had a Yahoo group, given that the FBI has the right to simply subpoena IP's and e-mail addy's to track the members down. This seems EXTREMELY unlikely - and is more likely just a group of wannabes. If they really were who the FBI was looking for, it seems to me they'd already be caught and jailed. The existence of the Yahoo group called "Arab Hackers" only proves the existence of a yahoo group called "Arab Hackers" - it does not prove that the Yahoo group and the alledged international criminal conspiracy/hackers group are in any way related.

      • Comment Unfortuantely, that doesn't mean anything. http://www.zone-h.org/en/defacements/filter/filter_defacer=George+Bush/ Looks like the President's been naughty, too. ;) The key is not "Can I find defacement by people who call themselves Arab Hackers and claim to be on a Jihad," the key is "can I find something OTHER than what could be done by a twelve-year-old who might think it was cool to call himself an Arab Hacker on a Jihad?" For example, a US Government site that lists the group as being one that's sought after for extradition/interrogation/arrest. Xaa 22:52, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment I would like to know what kind of evidence would prove this? There is no way more definitive evidence could be produced unless you want some sort of a video. "a day in the life of Arab Hacker". Maybe some satellite footage. I say that adequate evidence has been provided. there are literally hundreds of pages with the "fuck U.S.A. and israel" message so obviously, unless its a mere coincedence, they are connected. Samuraisam 04:19, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment As I said above: For example, a US Government site that lists the group as being one that's sought after for extradition/interrogation/arrest. I can find evidence that George Bush is defaming websites on zone-H.org. They only keep track of the names, they have no way of verifying if that really IS an Arab Hacker group or just one kid, or if the president is really vandalizing web-pages. Yes, I acknowledge that it's not unreasonable to presume what you're suggesting. However, we're not allowed to presume things when we write articles. If we're going to assert that a secret hacker group exists, we have to offer solid proof it exists that can't be explained as just one kid with a computer. Xaa 04:53, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge as per TimPope but do not delete. I do not normally advocate merging expandable stubs such as this but I can certainly believe that Tim thinks this is not expandable. Having gone to the trouble of merging to a reasonable article (though Schools in Twickenham would be a better name), it should not be split out until it is of a reasonable length and depth. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to be clear, are you recommending that all the information in the article be merged into that list? The page history doesn't show that any of it was ever there, aside from the name of the school. Factitious 22:00, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
      • The short answer is yes. The history of this article is extremely mixed up because of moves back and forth. It was part of the list once [11] but the list article was moved back to Waldegrave School for Girls since TimPope had originally moved that article to the list article as the beginning of a merger. I would like to recommend that when people "merge" an article to a non-existent article that they follow the merge instructions rather than move it. It makes it far less complicated to follow. When I first saw this VfD, I looked at the history as well and believed that Tim had only posted a redirect, effectively soft-deleting the article but more complicated look through the moves found what had really happened. You can see some of the moves and merges at [12]. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the usual arguments. The most relevant here: 1) The editorial consensus apparently favors separate articles. Merging should be discussed with them, not on VfD. 2) There is a project to develop guidelines for school articles. The recommendations do not currently favor deletion. Go clean it up, expand it, tag it and sort it, etc. 3) Notability is not itself a criterion for deletion. Deletion is an extreme action only to be taken when there is no hope of a valid encyclopedic article arising through collaborative editing. Dystopos 23:29, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

      • I Just read the Chinese article(at least most of it and translated the rest in Babel Fish), and in 'that' article, I think he's notable. Centenarians alone aren't, but Centenarians who are active college professors and founded the first biochemistry graduate program in China among some other things are. The English article stub should be deleted in my opinion and the Mandarin article should be translated directly to replace the stub(I forgot to put in signature, Karmafist 22:01, 10 August 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Jon Anders Hvoslef Lothe[edit]

I thought Thomas "Rocco" Hansen was a joke, but he actually appears to be a real Norwegian gay pornstar. Lothe, on the other hand, may be real but non-notable, but I suspect an attack page or prank.

Alien Racers[edit]

Non-notable TV program. A few google hits, mostly linking back to pages like TV.com No specific information can be located; appears to be out of production. In any event, viewership isn't high enough to merit an article. -Soltak 19:08, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois[edit]

Duplicate of item in List of schools in Wadsworth, Illinois --Tim Pope 20:58, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well as Tony has gone ahead and deleted the list, which by the way had had two other schools added to it, thus showing why the list was a better article as it actually got expanded, the reason now is, In my opinion, this article falls foul of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Tim Pope 21:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, it's still the same article. I've simply reverted it to the version you listed for deletion and moved it over the license-busting clone that I deleted. Visviva's additions are still present, both in the history and in the two articles I created. --Tony SidawayTalk 23:50, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A good article. I will remove the problem by converting the entry in the list into a link to this article. Osomec 21:07, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not do that until the outcome of this VFD. --Tim Pope 21:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You created the one item "list" as a precursor to trying to get this deleted. I believe it is the list that should be up for deletion. Osomec 21:39, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than hurl accusations, list that article for deletion then. --Tim Pope 21:45, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. Probably not compatible with the GFDL. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:43, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment probably is. There is nothing unique about the content. If another editor does the five minutes work required to type it in themselves after confirming it themselves, there is no problem with GFDL. - brenneman(t)(c) 01:51, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Yes, if they were crazy enough to want to paraphrase text rather than copy edit it, they could do that. Why would a sysop want to do that when it results in lost copy and the creation of a duplicate? And then of course someone will come along and recreate the link from the school name, and pretty soon when someone has more information to add they'll break out the article and overwrite the redirect, and you're back to square one except for some deleted content. All because of this doomed obsession with deleting, stamping out, and expunging school articles from Wikipedia. --Tony SidawayTalk 13:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ok, just so we're clear, you agree your comment "Probably not compatible with the GFDL" was incorrect? Can we further agree that you'll no longer use this as an oft- repeated argument against delete and merge? I'll interpret no response as "yes" and "yes". - brenneman(t)(c) 00:46, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, I do not agree with that. The process you describe is a deletion followed by a kind of rewrite. If someone wants that done, rather than a merge, they should probably say so. --Tony SidawayTalk 03:30, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, schoolcruft.
  • Keep — RJH 15:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Obvously needs a lot of work. This article was moved to List of schools in Wadsworth, Illinois and then cloned by someone else, and Tim Pope listed the clone for deletion. I have moved the original article back to where it belongs and killed the clone to conform with the requirements of the GFDL license. I would ask editors *please* not to adopt this "musical chairs" approach to merging because it is incredibly disruptive. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:33, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Power level (Dragon Ball)[edit]

Not appropriate for Wikibooks, and a list of power levels is not encyclopediatic. Delete. A Link to the Past 21:07, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete nn.  Grue  21:13, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no reason to delete the list or the article which precedes it. Statistics are often listed in encyclopedias. This article also does not fall into the category of "What Wilkipedia is not". Keep. Socar15 21:25, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Problem: The article doesn't provide encyclopediatic information. The list of power levels is not information that is necessary. Statistics on, say, population in a city in an article ON the city is necessary. -- A Link to the Past 21:30, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
      • How do you define "information that is necessary"? The article is more then just a list of numbers, it's an article on power levels, which is a very important aspect of the DBZ series. The article explains their uses, the history of them, and some other details. The article itself IS necessary for DBZ because power levels play such an important role almost a third of the entire series. And it can be argued that the numbers themselves that go along with that article are also necessary. Socar15 21:42, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • If you take away this information, which is valuable only to DBZ fans, it would work out just fine. Problem is, a merge of the rest of the information is unnecessary; we wouldn't need several paragraphs of information in the main article. It can be wittled down to a single paragraph, or even less. -- A Link to the Past 21:47, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
          • How did you determine that this article specifically is only valuable to DBZ fans? How would say, an article on a specific character, be any different? If an individual read something that referred to DBZ power levels (which is a pretty common thing) and went to look them up, I would think that the article would be very useful to someone who didn't know much about the topic itself. In this case, I don't believe deletion or a merge is necessary. Socar15 21:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Notable aspect of DBZ, you say? And by the way, power levels were not in DB, arose in DBZ, ended two sagas in, didn't appear in the GT series, and most of the article is a list of unencyclopediatic content. If it's taken away, then it's reduced to nothing, and if merged, it would be trimmed to a few sentences. -- A Link to the Past 00:22, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

      • No, I didn't vote on it simply because it's DBZ, but that I do not believe it should be simply deleted. I do agree however that perhaps it shouldn't have it's own article neccesarly (although I personally have not decided) but perhaps it should indeed be merged with something else.

Article appears to be no more than an advert for a phone service 62.173.111.114 18:50, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who created this article. I have no connection to this company whatsoever and I can assure you that I did not mean for this to be an advertisement. I had very little information about the company however, that this was all I could go on. I hope this clears up some of the question. --D-Day 20:19, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and change redirects to AT&T (reference). As a separate division, 10-10-345 has a modicum of notability as title sponsor on the Winston Cup circuit. The precedent with 1-800-COLLECT has been to merge and redirect with the parent company (in that case, MCI). I think redirects to AT&T are called for from 10-10-345, and Lucky Dog Phone Company, but 10-10-345 Lucky Dog itself should be deleted as an extremely unlikely search. I'm going to go ahead and do the stuff I can. I've tagged what appears to be more an ad banner than a fair-use logo as a "possibly unfree image", and don't think it should be preserved with the merged information. (Note for disambiguaters, "Lucky Dog" is also the name of a notable Hot Dog vender in New Orleans, Louisiana.) Dystopos 00:02, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • update. I've merged what little encyclopedic information there was into AT&T, tagged the car photo as a copyright violation, and changed links from other articles and redirects to point to AT&T. Everything should be in place to delete this article name. Dystopos 00:43, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
