Doodleprints[edit]

West End Girls (band)[edit]

Band does not meet WP:MUSIC no albums etc. There is even a group with the same name [1]. feydey 00:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC). Hmmm looks like I missed the "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country" -- as their single reached a number 3 in Swedish single chart. Damn these late nights. Keep feydey 00:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

String manipulation[edit]

  • Redirect per above. - Mgm|(talk) 09:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think an article just about string manipulation is warranted as it is a varied and complex topic. An article that covers the basics of string manipulation as well as the type of tools that exists and specific issues that are applicable to various programming languages can be a resourceful addition. This is a notable enough topic to have its own article. I don't think it should be included in the existing article on strings because of article size limits and because there is precedence for this kind of sub-topic to have it's own article. Maybe a rename with (computers) is in order though. The only explanation given for a redirect is that another article about strings exist, none of the issues I have raised have been addressed. I'd like the other voters to describe their computer programming language experience before their vote is considered. The article that people want to redirect to doesn't cover string manipulation. Perhaps we should also redirect regular expressions too then yes? Also the article in question is a stub and should have a stub tag. (Bjorn Tipling 20:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
    • I respectfully disagree. String manipulation falls into two broad categories. First you have the high-level approaches: these are already discussed in their own articles, and those are linked from the "String algorithms" section of String (computer science). Second, you have the very low-level approaches. And those are very language-specific, or even implementation-specific. What middle ground can you identify that can actually support an entire article?

      Even if there is an encyclopedic article to be written on the subject, this isn't it. Anyone who can write one is welcome to - and will remain welcome to, and trivially able to, even if it is redirected. So nothing is lost by redirecting, while nothing is gained by keeping. — Haeleth

      • Redirecting an article because it's not up to a standard of quality is not warranted. What is warranted is that the article be improved. Ironically, in your argument to redirect you have given an example of the complexity of string manipulation. Had the information you have just provided been in the article from the beginning I doubt it would have ever been nominated for deletion. Perhaps instead of voting to delete or redirect you should vote to keep and improve the article. (Bjorn Tipling 20:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC))Talk 20:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have programming experience in Assembler, BASIC, C, C++, Haskell, Java and PHP. I listed this article on AfD, because I did not believe it could be expanded beyond a dicdef. If it can be, I believe it should be in the string (computer science) article, until if the treatment of string manipulation becomes too large, it can be split at that time. —R. Koot 20:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • It sounds as if some here would welcome this page if it had more information. That is why there is a stub tag. What this article needs is a stub tag, and not a redirect. Just so everyone knows, I am not the author of this article and only stumbled upon it while browsing the VFD page. (Bjorn Tipling 20:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  • Redirect per Gazpacho. — Haeleth Talk 20:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep if updated. Stringology (which would be better name for the article) is quite established term and area of study: see stringology groups in Prague or Haifa or Helsinky. The article should cover basics of stringology and be named so (and no, I unfortunately don't have time to write it down). Redirect to String (computer science) would be misleading, the area is much bigger and more sophisticated than regex or what is described in String (computer science), better to delete the text if no one updates it and wait until relevant content gets created.

Charles Hoskinson[edit]

Doing very little research on this article will show that it is obviously fake. Doing a little more research will show that Charles Hoskinson created this entry as a joke, so that he could tell people to look him up in Wikipedia. Usage of Wikipedia in this way is very much against the aim of the project. It's essentially a fictional vanity. Nonforma 00:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I'll take your word for it. It doesn't seem notable to me. Croat Canuck 01:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Roguesci[edit]

Comment: Completing an AFD nomination by 165.189.91.148. feydey 01:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

comment article is an orphan.Geni 18:03, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Take a look at [2]. Apparently the site is being accused of harboring a terrorist network. That may make a good article with some sort of actual information, and give it some importance. --Aleron235 22:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hardly, given that the information is given on the site itself (and a couple of posts on mailing lists that they have written themselves). Delete / Ezeu 03:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delay judgement The article is clearly not finished and the site is seen by many (not least its members) as a test of what accurate, yet use unspecific, information the public should be allowed to know in these post 9/11 days.
    • Yes, I am slightly bothered by the AfD vote occuring one day after the start of the article, 80.229.21.128. In the future, please make an account if you wish to vote/comment on AfDs.--Aleron235 02:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thankyou. Have added an aspect of the forum not currently included by the original author. I hope and think the entry will turn quite quickly into a balenced look at the site and that given the content and history this cannot be considered either spam or not notable. Furthurmore since names and faces can be attached to some of the casualties this makes it a much tougher test of free speech than merely theoretical, and that neither side of the argument can be easily dismissed, nor should be overlooked.--Ambix 15:11, 11 December 2005 (GMT)
  • Keep Please don't be so quick to dismiss this as spam, as just like The Wikipedia, the aim of RogueSci is the free spread of information, it is not the aim of this article's creator, myself, or any other RogueSci member to generate traffic for us or further any commercial gain, we seek merely to regain contact with people who beleive that RogueSci no longer exists due to censorship of the site by some ISPs, governments, e.t.c. Ezeu, if you'd actually took some time to read the article you'd have learned that the site itself is being blocked by several major ISPs, and that's why this article was started, it is by no means finished... I ask all of you to allow this article to remain for now, so that RogueSci can get in touch with its missing members and begin to do some serious work on this Wiki entry. We have a lot of good information to contribute, and are not seeking to simply spam this site or generate traffic for RogueSci. Sorry for not making an account (but no, I'm not the same person as 80.229.21.128), I'll get to that later, but it does say that anyone can contribute to an AfD discussion. I would also like to note as an afterthought that other such sites discussing similar information such as TOTSE.com are allowed Wiki entries, even when their content is of a lower level of intellect and more focused around the uses of such information for crime and vandalism, rather than being focused around scientific discussion and the spread of information. -Xyz, RogueSci.org 202.72.172.136 09:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Spam. This is an encyclopedia, not a link list for bomb makers. Opening the actual site doesn't give much confidence in the accuracy of this statement from their spokesman "around the uses of such information for crime and vandalism, rather than being focused around scientific discussion and the spread of information" Xyz.

A quick check of the site brings up quite the opposite, I quote:

"The device is constructed out of (preferably) non-metallic materials, with a mechanical or chemical delay, inserted in the appropriate orifice (and it's non-gender-specific, so we're being equal-opportunity!), and locked into place. The device is such that, when locked, it expands to such a diameter as to be unremovable without surgery (assuming you're not using it on a fisting fetishist), and begins the timer or chemical reaction that will result, if not removed, in someones ass being seperated from their body in a spectaculary lethal manner." Nbk

"Hey, the hostages are expendable, so why does it have to be removable?" Xyz

I dont trust that legitamacy of this wiki entry, and its promotion of illegal, immoral activities.(waspt 22:27, 11 December 2005 (UTC)).[reply]

  • The thread you have quoted above was an attempt to see things from the perspective of terrorists, to get inside their minds so to speak, and through that gain a deeper understanding of methods they may use. As such, it is totally out of context in the way you have used it. Think about it, if we really had terrorist intentions, would we post them on the internet for the whole world to see? I don't know about you Waspt, but I wouldn't. We don't promote illegal or immoral activity, we merely seek to discuss it and draw attention to it. Call it investigative journalism turned up a notch. Information should be free for everyone to know, because an informed population is one less susceptible to terror. RogueSci is also hardly a site "for bomb makers" as you put it, in fact, I challenge you to go and start a thread at RogueSci even so much as hinting at intentions of really making a bomb, just see how long it takes for your account to be banned and the thread closed. I am also by no means RogueSci's spokesperson, so please do not label me as such - I'm just someone who chooses to stand up for what I beleive is a worthy cause. -Xyz 202.72.172.136 07:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • If your not the "spokesman" then I'm not sure why you care. This entry seems to have ulterier motives as evidenced by the very thread generated in that forum to discuss creating a wiki entry. I pull a quote from the thread, which discusses the wiki:

"It'd be great for keeping track of 'recipes' as, try as I might, it's damn near impossible to do so here. How many variations on the AP process alone? Christ...dozens, if not a hundred. Then sources for the process, testing for purity, VoD and expansion values, videos and pictures, etc., etc. All this is scattered over dozens of threads over the years. If it was all consolidated into just one Wiki entry, it'd be huge! Instead of telling a newbie to UTFSE (which isn't always helpful), you point them to a Wiki entry and let them learn on their own. If they follow the 'recipes' without killing themselves (which they shouldn't because our info is CORRECT), they'll be flush with success and want to tell someone about it. Where would they then go to?" Nbk

Its said within that very forum that this wiki entry is to be used to post "recipes" for people to follow, which I can only assume to be bomb recipes. I mean REALLY if you are going to abuse wiki to post bomb making recipes, you dont discuss it openly then link into it from here. Thats just dumb.waspt 10:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)).[reply]

      • You have either not read the thread from the start waspt, or not understood it. The thread starts,

"Has anyone any thoughts about hosting an E&W wikipedia site alongside the forum"

The key words here are 'hosting' and 'alongside'. The thread is suggesting that someone use software downloaded from the internet to host their own wikipedia and discussing what that should contain. Not that they should dump information onto wikipedia.org. There is even discussion as to where the site should be hosted! Noone there has suggested that the wikipedia.org entry should contain any methods of anykind at all. --Ambix 10:30, 12 December 2005 (GMT)

        • Waspt, I already explained why I care, if you'd taken the time to read what I'd said. I don't have to be a spokesperson for something to support it. Ever heard of the phrase "When you assume you make an ass out of u and me"? For the last time, WE ARE NOT A SITE FOR BOMB RECIPES, even though TOTSE.com is, and yet you allow them a Wiki entry. As I said, I challenge you to go to RogueSci and ask about "bombmaking" without getting your account deleted and your IP range banned for good. Likewise, feel free to delete any "bombmaking recipes", whatever that means, that appear in our Wiki entry. If any do appear then they certainly won't have been added by any member of RogueSci. If this is about censorship, you will find larger quantities of far more detailed information about the manufacture and deployment of conventional explosives, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, e.t.c. at the US Patent Office website than anywhere else on the web. Go censor them. -Xyz 07:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment Censoring RogueSci would be stupid, and the opposite of what Wikipedia stands for. Let the article develop. As for the complaints that bomb recipes might be posted, well, search for any common term for pretty much any explosive on wikipedia, and you get a result. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Explosive_chemicals ) Try "nitroglycerin", and skip down to the "Preperation" section ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerine#Preparation ) If someone posts a recipe here, it should be moved to the right place, rather than causing this rather interesting thread to be killed.

  • Delete: It was a weekly ha-ha mass forwarded through e-mail. Well, the thing about the weekly ha-ha is that it's gone by the time it's noticed. I'm sure people said/thought, at the time, "Well, if no one remembers it in a year, we can remove it." It has been four years. No one remembers it. (And, incidentally, there was a "ova prima" theory for a while that said that humans come from a woman's egg alone, that the sperm is merely a sort of activator to the egg, and that the person is fully formed inside the egg, needing only the food or spark of the sperm to grow. Inside the female persons inside the eggs are eggs that contain within them fully formed people, and some are female, who have within them eggs with.... The idea was that Eve had the entire run of humanity in her, and that is how original sin could be passed on. It was a minority theory, but Laurence Sterne satirized it in Tristram Shandy.)

  • Keep but improve. A magazine only needs about 5000 subscribers to be notable. If this party garnered 20,000 votes, I'd say it's notable enough for an article. --Elliskev 02:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

      It's a stub, with one NPOV sentence about what the party believes. I agree the quote needs to be reformatted and sourced (it's from their website), and it needs to be tagged as a stub. None of these are reasons to delete. -- SCZenz 03:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I say, but with the following changes:
  1. Get rid of that unsourced quote.
  2. Put a political party stub on the page.

Please excuse us.. the intent is to build a HISTORY on our company. Feel free to purchase your products elsewhere. We have a LONG history in car shows, drag racing and track racing. We have edited the page. We do not feel as if this is advertising simply because we are attempting to build a history on the achievements that we have made and the contributions we've made to the industry. We have plenty of advertising so we did not intend this to be advertising. We have been a corner stone in the automotive performance and racing industry from it's inception in 1990. Many years PRIOR to the creatation of the store. We have a heavy back ground in RECORD BREAKING race cars and SHOW WINNING vehicles.

Advertisement, vanity, not encyclopedic at all. – ugen64 01:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS? CENSORSHIP IS HATEFUL...

DO NOT DELETE! —the preceding unsigned comment is by Ricardo Moraes-Pinto (talk • contribs) 15:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC) who is the author of the article.[reply]

  • Weak Delete as it does assert some notability "an association founded by four great Brazilian jazz musicians" although I have no idea if they are verifiably regarded as great. I'd change to a "weak keep" if it was verifiable and cleaned up to a higher standard. CarbonCopy 16:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

dear UTC: is greatness the only way to be recognized?... how to verify "greatness"? is this the poin?... what if "great" was just applied as a generic qualifier for these four people?... fine! let's take "great" off... let's leave it there so that people may offer their comments on the subject! as a matter of fact, this is one of the points in having a wiki entry - to facilitate discussion on entries so that it may become a well established truth (or not) ...

on another level, what amazes me is that a fellow national (João Ricardo), who should know about ABATEJ by this time just comes in from out of the blue sentencing ABATEJ to the discredit of havis its entry DELETED! this man should be one of the many who is daily editing the entry on our president Lula da Silva, just for the fun of it...

    • I think you mean me, CarbonCopy, not "dear UTC" - UTC is the timezone for Wikipedia times! While "greatness" is inherently subjective, one CAN provide evidence that someone is regarded as "great". Awards, reviews, published articles about an artist, academic works, even sales figures (although those are probably better evidence of popularity than greatness). Brazilian sources or international sources are fine by me - just some kind of third-party evidence. CarbonCopy 20:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to The Pogues as I believe this was their original name, and as indicated in the talk page, the hoax appears to have been based on actual information about this band. 23skidoo 13:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Pogues, as it was their second name. :-) (They were called the Irish equivalent of "kiss my arse" at first.) This is a pretty well known alternate name for them. Geogre 18:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. After some research I've decided that this probably is a hoax, but that really wasn't self-evident. There is no reason there couldn't have been an earlier band with the same name... but as far as I can tell, there wasn't. This group of articles seems to be about a kind of "alternate Mahones." The real Mahones really did form in Kingston, Ontario, etc. Kind of a mess, but nothing to do with The Pogues. The Pogues changed their name from Pogue Mahone, which does mean "kiss my ass," to The Pogues, but were never called The Mahones to my knowledge. rodii 18:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, and then redirect the The Pogues were in fact called this. -Sean Curtin 07:03, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and don't REDIRECT. rodii is correct. The Pogues were Pogue Mahone. The Mahones[9][10] are a different celtic rock band; from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. -Le Scoopertemp [tk] 12:21, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and don't redirect. There is a Canadian band called the Mahones, who are notable enough to have an article but are neither the Pogues nor the band described here. The Pogues, for that matter, were never called "The Mahones"; they were called Pogue Mahone...and as far as I'm concerned, a documentable, verifiable and notable band should never play second fiddle for its own article title to a rare and largely unattested nickname for a more famous band. I'll write up the real Mahones once this unverifiable version is out of the way. They were Pogues-influenced and two of the Pogues even toured with them at one point, so their article will provide a link there anyway. Bearcat 18:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Varma Division[edit]

User:Robinh pointed this one out to me. Although its an interesting read, I believe it is original research. The first version of the article suggests this. I found no confirming google hits.

  • possible redirect to split the difference or fair division procedures(?). The article does feel OR - especially in the intro/conclusion, which refer to the article as a paper, etc, as if it is in a journal. OTOH this article discusses an example of a fair-division procedure, ideas which are developing quickly in the context of experimental economics. The article needs to be encyclopedia-fyed, but the information can be presented in a WP appropriate way, and under a different title (for now).

This is an important subject that is not often discussed. It is directly related to India's long tradition of permitting diversity of religious thought, and India's modern secularism.

The article needs to be expanded. I will add details and references. Rajput inscriptions and copperplates are the main source of direct information on this subject.

But may I ask Harro5 why this is "patent nonsense"? Please let me know. I will address those issues.

--Malaiya 15:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When I first read the article, it seemed like a rant about nothing. However, this AfD has obviously told me otherwise (like I say in the nom, I wanted input from others) and if you can write this in useful prose then I am sure I would be happy to see this article stay. Harro5 21:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep as the author appears to be in the process of expanding the article. It's not nonsense, just extremely lacking in content/context, particularly if you have no familiarity with Indian or Buddhist history. Suggest it may belong as a subsection of either Rajput or Decline of Buddhism in India. Let's not bite a newbie on this one. CarbonCopy 16:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep but one hopes this goes in the direction of encyclopedic rather than original research. I wouldn't call it nonsense; it needs sources, context, and should focus on scholarly consensus rather than controversy. Looking forward to seeing the result, Malaiya. rodii 18:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

System wars[edit]

This entry is nothing but the extension of a console flame war that takes place at a gaming forum. Given time, forum users will take to flaming each other on this entry. Nonforma 05:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree... this is a vandalism magnet, waste of time --Valermos 05:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way to allow a few people create a true Wikipedia entry and then have it locked to reflect just that?HAL

I think that kind of defeats the idea of a wiki... --Valermos 06:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I agree as well. There is barely any objective information you could come up when the entry title is "System Wars" Nonforma 06:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, Systemwars is a great website.
I'm not saying it's a bad site, it's just something that doesn't belong here. This is a wiki, it is meant for objective information. If you'd like to post a history of the Systemwars, then by all means do so, but you need to refrain from choosing a side. GameFAQs, for example, has a very good article.

You want this deleted yet you have an article roming around that has links to last measure and goatse. And lets not forgot orgish.com Thats a website as well.

The difference is that the articles you mention have actual information documenting the topic, they aren't constant flame wars between people who just want to be immature and deface this website. --Valermos 06:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And whats wrong with creating a stub about the animations? Are there not stubs for Web Comics and other cartoons? Fell free to edit the page delete what you feel is advertising, but please do not delete the page completly. Lexington
  • Comment. It is not a notable animation group and does not warrant an entry on Wikipedia. When a webcomic they produce becomes popular, then they can be listed. Movementarian 07:53, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm sorry. I was under the impression that the purpose of Wikipedia was to archive information, but I guess I was wrong. I did not realize that it was a large popularity contest, meant only for people who show up in Google. I mean, of course! Anything that doesn't show up in Google must not be information, eh? Well, I guess that Technostalgia shoulden't have any info on him/herself in Wikipedia, seeing as it doesnt come up in Google. I can just see the very purpose of Wikipedia crumbling right now. Lexington
  • Comment. I suggest you check out What Wikipedia is not. Some notablity should be established before entry to this encyclopaedia is allowed. As you can see Technostalgia does not have an article, but as with all Wikipedians has a user space. It is not the same thing.

The result of the debate was delete. I'm pointing the link at the dab page Tuner to Sport compact#Tuning, where people can read more about tuners in the appropriate sense. There are no other links to Tuner (auto), and it's not a term people will type into the search box, so no redirect is necessary. --Angr (t·c) 21:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tuner (auto)[edit]

Sounds like nonsense to me - or at least a mode of speach particular to a very small community. jmd 06:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's a legit term, but I agree that it's sure hard to tell.  :) There may in fact already be an article on the subject somewhere around here. Might wind up making it a redirect if there is. - Lucky 6.9 06:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah, found something. Redirect to sport compact. - Lucky 6.9 06:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think such a redirect would be confusing. To me, "Tuner (auto)" would mean a) A person who tunes the engine of an automobile; or b) The broadcast radio receiver fitted in an automobile. Create a disambig page if necessary. jmd
  • Good point. Looks like there's already a disambig at tuner and it covers the existing article. I'm going to look at this article to see if anything can be merged. - Lucky 6.9 07:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. See WP:NOT. Specificially, Wikipedia is not a list of dictionary definitions. I know that some glossaries exist, but they are significantly more specific than "economics". A glossary on as broad a subject as economics would simply become far too big to be manageable. I believe the terms in this glossary should be moved to their own articles, then this glossary should be deleted. Mat334 08:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

4IM Campaign to update Union Jack[edit]

The first AFD ended with a "merge" to Union Jack. I merged it there and, not entirely surprisingly, I was reverted. Apparently, merging with that article is only clutter there, and after reviewing it I tend to agree: Merging with the Union Jack article is inferior to keeping outright or deleting. Personally, I think the article's subject is too restricted, it is about part of a campaign of a fairly small organization so I recommend delete. If merged it will need to be more of a "smerge" (abbreviated merge). Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: The reason I did not merge this with 4IM is that that article looks set to be deleted. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm leaning towards delete, but possibly merge to Flag of Wales. Mat334 08:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If a merge is decided upon I think Welsh Nationalism would be more appropriate. Movementarian 09:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to 4IM if it survives AfD, merge to Flag of Wales or Welsh nationalism if it doesn't. Definitely don't delete. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 09:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Welsh nationalism, I don't think 4IM are the first people to suggest this. JPD (talk) 10:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is an issue that should be raised in more depth at Union Jack, but this article should not be merged as it is not about the debate broadly but about the views of one particular non-notable organisation. (Incidentally their proposed flag alterations seem arbitrary rather than being the produce of public debate, but that's another issue). There is a link to this group on the Union Jack page, and with the inclusion of a mention about this debate, then in my opinion that would be adequate. So delete this one, and then move on to a debate on Talk:Union Jack about whether that article is comprehensive. Peeper 12:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Welsh nationalism, leave the flag pages alone. I'm slightly prejudiced by the fact that all their proposed designs are either fugly, or take up far too much of the flag implying that the UK is a colony of Wales (everyone knows it's a colony of Scotland), or both. --Last Malthusian 12:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seriously, has anyone followed the external link? Jesus. And they use .bmps, for God's sake. Hard to believe that anyone takes these people seriously. In fact, Google suggests that no-one does outside the wacky world of British independence movements (free Slough!), so full delete. --Last Malthusian 00:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC) (Only reason I didn't vote delete before was that the previous AfD vote had left me with the mistaken impression that 4IM had been deemed notable.) --LM[reply]

  • Comment With 4IM deleted as non-notable by consensus, mentioning their stupid controversial flag designs in the main Union Jack article would be nonsensical. --Last Malthusian 09:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I live in Wales, I follow news here, and whilst I can name a few campaign groups who are notable (here, at least :)) despite being small, this group and this campaign are complete news to me. A web search suggests that this is not my oversight; they are simply non-notable. If this didn't belong in Union Jack, it doesn't belong in Flag of Wales or Welsh nationalism (these would be first Welsh nationalists I ever heard of who want to continue the use of any variation of the Union Jack!) either.

Boba Fett: Crossfire[edit]

At present, looks like info taken straight off Amazon.com or a similar source. Basically, title, author, ISBN and a copyvio of the blurb. No importance in current form. Harro5 08:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep if rewritten so it's no longer a copyvio. Plenty of series have individual book articles (see James Bond). I think being a Star Wars novel is notable enough. But the copyvio has to go. 23skidoo 13:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a 133-page, 3.4oz. book not even a proper work of fan fiction. These books (from Scholastic) are hawked round schools as fundraisers. Their literary content is typically low to negligible (my kids have seevral in the same series). James Bond it ain't. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 16:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Literary content and notability are not the same thing. "I hate them for being terrible" is not a valid reason for deletion. The Boba Fett books are an important part of Star Wars canon. However, the article has no original content, so delete unless fixed. -LtNOWIS 17:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I dispute that they are important, they are not "proper" fan fiction (as per the post-Asimov Robot and Foundation-based books), they are small pamphlets of not many pages with no real story. That's my experience of others in the same series, anyway. There are plenty of significant crap books (I hate the Brontës as well but would vote keep on them without hesitation), and probably lots of excellent but insignificant ones. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 19:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • First of all, they are not fan fiction. They are legitimate parts of the official Star Wars Expanded Universe. In fact, one book was explicitly referenced in the landmark New Essential Chronology. Out of the 7 Star Wars young adult series, this is probably the third most notable, and the others do have individual book articles. Jedi Apprentice even has a category! They Fett books aren't very long, so a single article could probably cover all six books, but they do deserve inclusion. -LtNOWIS 22:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete unless rewritten. Page count isn't everything. There's enough famous books of around 100 pages and being low on page count doesn't make them any less notable. Books don't need to be literary either as long as enough people read and enjoy them. This is official canon and thus a valid topic. - Mgm|(talk) 00:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the book should be rewritten. / Ezeu 03:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Christina Aguilera's third full-length English album[edit]

  • Keep These are confirmed producers with facts not rumors! [[]]

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When the album is released it should get an article, but not before. Zunaid 10:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Probably the pet project of some impatient fan --Mecanismo 10:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. Movementarian 10:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. For our purposes here, there's no difference between it being already released and yet-to-come. People are always making that distinction, but it's wrong. We're talking about providing information here. Information exists regardless of whether the album is released yet or not, so we provide it. The "crystal ball" argument is completely wrong, because we should only be dealing in verifiable information—predictions other people have made, and information that has been officially confirmed. So the only question is notability. Well, I think this is a notable subject. Christina is very famous and popular and there's plenty of talk about her next album. Everyking 10:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I would agree with you, if the album had a title. Movementarian 11:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can see that point, but then theoretically the album could generate a huge buzz and yet not get an official title until a week or two before release; I think in this case we'd still want to provide the information. The issue of the title becomes irrelevant; the question is just the notability of the topic. I would think if an upcoming album is getting a lot of attention, we'd give it an article regardless of whether it's been officially given a title. Everyking 11:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everyking, as User:Crotalus horridus said, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. You admit that the article is based on speculation and the only justification that you can give for the keeping of that article is "theoretically the album could generate a huge buzz". If the only justification that the only supporter of the article is one solelly based on possible speculation, then it is obvious that there is no reason to keep the article. The deletion is not only the right thing to do, it is the obvious option to be taken. --Mecanismo 12:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't agree that it's based on speculation. See below. Everyking 16:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I believe that there is, in fact, a very strong difference. Wikipedia aims to be an encyclopedia. According to the definition, it's articles should bear important and relevant information on some subject. The article listed for deletion is purely speculation and rumors and I don't see how speculation and rumors can be considered important or relevant on any subject, let alone an encyclopedic article. Besides, I don't see how that article can ammount to something other than that: a source of rumors and speculation. When the album is released I don't see why it shouldn't be covered by a wikipedia article. Until then, I believe that it would be wise to leave the rumor-spreading and speculation-creation to webforums, blogs, IM chats and other related media of communication. --Mecanismo 11:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks to me like everything in the article should be verifiable. Even things that can't be verified as fact can be verified as notable rumors. Everyking 11:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't believe that it's the job of an encyclopedia to convey unaccountable information or even to spread rumors, being them "notable" or not. --Mecanismo 11:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia is about verifiable facts not verifiable rumours. If people want advance information on an album in production they should look at other mediums, such as blogs. An article entitled Christina Aguilera's third full-length English album does not belong in Wikipedia. When a release date is announced and the album is titled an article could be created. Movementarian 11:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Until the album has a name it shouldn't be discussed in it's own article. The mistake people make is wanting to create new articles for everything and fragment information. I'd be happy with merging into Christina's article, though. Christina's quote at the start needs sourcing. - Mgm|(talk) 12:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge anything useful with the main Aguilera article, otherwise let's wait till the release at least has a title before doing an article about it. Crystal ball otherwise. 23skidoo 13:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete When/if the album is released, it might merit an article of it's own, and this article will be redundant. --StoatBringer 14:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, then we'd just move it to the new title. Everyking 19:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Pure speculation... Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Crotalus horridus 16:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • None of it is speculation. Think for a minute. It is, in a sense, speculation to say that there will be a U.S. presidential election in 2008. Because who knows, really? But we have an article on it...why? Because it's a notable topic and information can be verifiable whether reporting past events or reporting what other people have said about future events, and past events relating to those future events. I really get tired of the "crystal ball" stuff. Everyking 05:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • We know that there will be a U.S. Presidential Election because it is madated in the constitution. But since you bring it up, notice that there is not an article entitled 2008 Presidential Election. That is because we don't know anything beyond the fact that it will take place. We can speculate that certain political figures will run, but not in Wikipedia as encyclopaedias are no the place for speculation. Movementarian 00:40, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • We report other people's speculation. Like, duh! And my first point was a philosophical one—you don't really know any future events will take place. And here's another point—even if Christina doesn't release a third album, the topic itself is still notable—she's been recording, people have been talking about it, it's acquired a significant degree of fame, and a significant amount could already be written about it. So really it has nothing to do with the album being released or not. You need to base it on the subject's notability, that is to say, on the importance attached to it by people. Everyking 05:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think we will have to agree to disagree. You think that because someone that is notable says they will do something it should be immediately placed into Wikipedia (I hope that I am not misintrepeting your position, if I am I apologise). I think we should wait until it has happened. Movementarian 06:35, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No, not necessarily. It depends on whether what is said amounts to notable information. (Also, I naturally regard saying something as an action, therefore that—the act of communicating—has already happened—it is in the past, and thus can't be speculation.) And to have an independent article you need a collection of notable info that would not fit properly into another article. It makes sense to me to have this as an independent article...I think any question about this should arise from whether to merge verifiable info, or keep it here as its own article (and we know it will eventually get one anyway, of course). I see no reason not to do the latter—I feel people are making arbitrary cut-off points, such as it having an official title, or being released. To me, what matters is that you have a collection of notable, verifiable info that works as an independent subject. Everyking 10:27, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I see where you are coming from and I better understand your position, however I disagree that requiring an album to have a title is an arbitrary cut-off point. I think having a proper title is a key element to having an article. If a member of a royal family gets pregnant should we make an article called (using the House of Orange-Nassau as an example) Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima New Baby or should we wait until it has a name?

  • Delete. Most of the article contains uncited rumors or info in the Christina Aguilera article, and may be considered Original Research. We should get a solid reference and more info about the album before we create an article for it. We don't even have a name (tentive or not) which we can work with. If there's cited info, it should be in the future section of the main article --unless it contains so much info that it will warrant it's own article. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!>

Tea Leaf Green[edit]

Appears to be a review rather than an article, Their site seems to indicate multiple albums. Do these meet WP:MUSIC enough to be rewritten? - Mgm|(talk) 12:00, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article is promotional in nature, rather than encyclopedic. Band tours primarily the western US and seems to have a following west of the Rocky Mountains. Their albums are on independent labels (or home grown) and sold through their web site. Unless there's more to them, they seem to just miss the notability threshold, but the right piece of verifiable information can convince me to change my vote (after all, the Grateful Dead were notable before they sold records).

The result of the debate was merge with Vestavia Hills, Alabama Louis Pizitz Middle School. --Angr (t·c) 22:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pizitz[edit]

Article is nearly empty, has nothing linking to it, and is for a non-notable US middle school StuffOfInterest 13:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • No vote. Real place (per website which notes some achievements) - if kept, should be moved to Pizitz Middle School. BD2412 T 13:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Achievements like "Classroom access to a Pentium computer on the school network"? Neat, it's some kind of archaeology school then? :P

      More seriously, it seems to be more notable than the average schoolcruft (highest SAT scores in Alabama in 2003, apparently), so if some of that stuff can be verified from sources other than the school's own website, it would easily score a keep according to the growing consensus at WP:SCH. This is doubtless going to be kept in some form. But someone who cares about school articles will need to clean up the current article pretty radically and move it to the proper place. — Haeleth Talk 23:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Sorry to rant, but I expect anyone voting keep or delete to provide a decent *reason* for their vote. Quoting from WP:SCH's list of arguments isn't good enough. AfD is a debate, not a vote. That's why it was renamed. Quoting from both sides of the arguments subpage in WP:SCH does not constitute a debate. Johnleemk | Talk 10:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete, no references or verifiability. They can recreate it once these are covered. Stifle 23:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.

This is an unusual nomination. I am the original creator of this page, but I am not (repeat, not) saying it should be deleted. Nor am I saying it should be kept.

This page is very close to being a CSD, but I've decided to go the slow route. At first it looks like a NN-bio (collector of pop music and culture), but the last sentence seems to indicate that he's a writer. If that's the case though, I can't find a work he's published or a periodical that employs him. This page is going to either need a serious rewrite (starting with some context in which to place this person), or be deleted. Bachrach44 14:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. NN-bio. I found a reference to him at [24] which seems to fit the description of the Oscar Padron in the article, but there's a few people with that name involved in baseball. howcheng [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149; e ] 17:36, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wiles[edit]

A nice story of an ordinary family living in the UK. Doesn't assert the notability of the family in question. Doesn't exactly fall under A7 either, I think, because it is about a bunch of people, not just a person. Mysid 14:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Religious views of evolution[edit]

User:Ed Poor has made a POV fork of content already included in Wikipedia at other articles.

  • Keep, the current article at Creation-evolution controversy describes a particular aspect of religious views of evolution, while theistic evolution (the article is at evolutionary creationism) mostly explains and explores how religions support evolution. Although I'm concerned about such an article being a breeding ground for non-neutrality, I don't think that's reason enough to delete, and it has the potential of covering material not covered in either article. If it never does, we can redirect it later. Demi T/C 17:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Concept album[edit]

Reason why the page should be deleted The word "concept" can be applied to any invention in history. All music has an underriding concept, even if the concept is to please the audience. The list of concept albums will always be ridiculous. Is Bob Dylan a concept? What about Jimi Hendrix? Or Britney Spears? Don't get me wrong, this article is very cool, but it seems that's what everybody thinks a concept album is, cool. The devision is just far two subjective. I nominate for immediate deletion. -ShadowyCabal

Strong keep on the grounds that it is the first Google hit for "concept album". —BenFrantzDale 21:28, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. The reason it's the first hit is because Wikipedia has made-up the concept of a concept album. There is no objective way to explain the difference between a concept album and a non-concept album. If so, I'd like to see this list of non-concept albums. -ShadowyCabal 21:28, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The idea of a concept album exists outside of Wikipedia. Any album that does not have a story running from one song to the next across the entire album is not a concept album. For example, Back in Black by AC/DC is not; it's just a collection of songs. On the other hand Operation: Mindcrime is, as AllMusic says; it tells a story from start to finish. —BenFrantzDale 21:45, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The first paragraph pretty much explains that a concept album is an album in which the songs are tied together with an overall concept. It also says rightly that there isn't a precise definition. There are a lot of albums that aren't concept albums, because although the artist may have 'conceived' of the album and the individual songs, the songs deal with unrelated concepts. Asking for a list of non-concept albums is like asking for a list of all non-christmas oriented albums. This specific term has been around since at least the 1970's. It's a great article and a real category of music/albums. -Cranialhotfudge 23:01, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The idea of a concept album has been widely used since Sgt.

Catchbasin, California[edit]

This article appears to be completely unverifiable. "Catchbasin" or "Catch Basin" is not to be found in any online directory of Californian cities and towns, including the National Atlas. There is a Catch Basin well in Arizona and a Catch Basin dam in Pennsylvania, but no town. Googling for the name plus "1898", the supposed year of founding, yields nothing (that is, plenty of catch basins, but no towns). The assertion that this small town is a "sister city" of Pensacola, Florida seems to be plainly false, if the information at [36] is correct. This is either an article about a very small and hard to find town, or a Nihilartikel. I'd like to find out the former is the case, but I wouldn't want this article to stick around indefinitely while we wait. JRM · Talk 16:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I added the cleanup-verify tag after a quick attempt to verify with Google failed. The above evidence is compelling, we don't need uncited articles on non-existant towns. The guy who created this article, User:Sawbones Jerrymanderer, should be noted as well... from his user page: "I will continue to spread truth throughout Wikipedia, despite the revisions of the nonbelievers".

9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers[edit]

Previously AfD'd; result was merge; merge delayed, since completed. Tom Harrison (talk) 16:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ingoolemo talk 19:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - Yeah the 9/11 conspiracy theories bit at least recognises the Saddam Hussein theory. I said it was Saddam Hussein from the moment the planes flew in, and I don't get why people think its so hard to believe. The 9/11 one mentions it, whilst this other one doesn't. That theory should be expanded a fair bit though. Oh, also, I saw no mention of anti-globalisation terrorist group S11 being a theory. They were widely blamed, and the group was totally destroyed as a result. Oh and don't forget China. China had a motive to do it, so as to destroy the American economy to precipitate an invasion at a later date. After all, China was very annoyed at America then after they had shot down one of China's spy planes, and China is America's biggest challenge to world dominance, and the most likely country to take over control. These 2 theories do need to be mentioned. But since I personally believe the Saddam Hussein theory, I think that that needs to be explored an awful lot more than it is.Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 22:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep and Move! The results of the old VFD wasn't even a clear concensus, and the listings have grown and become a lot more detailed since then. For example, it now includes physicist Steven Jones. The 9/11 conspiracy theories article is way too long at 76 KB, so there's no good reason for the list not to be split off as a separate article (not a section or a subpage). I propose that it be moved to Researchers questioning the official account of 9/11, as this is an NPOV title, and it also avoids the concerns that some had about the old "September 11 researchers" title. This title makes it clear that it's a listing of researchers with a common basic position about 9/11 which questions the official account. Blackcats 23:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, should never have been a sub namespace article, how about September 11 reappraisal or some such (if scope is larger than just a bio of the researchers themselves)? zen master T 23:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep: The Wiki is all about dissemination of knowledge, not the suppression thereof. That said, the articlle title needs revision to delete the loaded term conspiracy, which in this case amounts to discounting the credibility of researcers. Ombudsman 00:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but modify - the researchers are not the notable part of this endeavor: their hypotheses and conjectures are. I'd strongly suggest replacing their biographies with their conclusions about 9/11 as the conclusions are much more relevant to the rest of the article. B.Wind 00:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep and Move I have to agree with an above comment that the 9/11 conspiracy theories article is too long at over 76 KB. I also think that the list should be split off as a separate article (not a section or a subpage). It seems inappropriate to have this list set into the middle of the article. I also think that it should be moved to Researchers questioning the official account of 9/11, which is a good NPOV title. Everyday there are more researchers joining the 9/11 truth movement and getting the courage to speak up, particuarly academics, like Steven Jones. I would expect that this section on the researchers will only grow.Bov 07:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gallup poll on creationism and evolution[edit]

Closer's notes
Some editors said both delete and redirect; ultimately the consensus was that the content already existed in the relevant article (creation-evolution controversy), and that the poll did not warrant its own article. Thus no merge or redirect was performed, and these comments tended to be counted as deletes.
See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Creation-evolution poll and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evolution poll.

  • Redirect Delete to creation-evolution controversy. Someone has a genuine problem with POV forks and POV in general. How many AFD'd POV forks is this now? Amazing. FeloniousMonk 18:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Zero. It's an article spin-off, as described in the guidelines of Wikipedia:Content forking. See the third section which distinguishes between good and "POV" forks. This is the good kind. Uncle Ed 13:11, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • What gives you that idea? How do you describe yourself as -- what was it, "Wikipedia's foremost expert on NPOV"? -- and not realize that proportion plays a role? What you are quoting states that spinout articles are not necessarily POV forks. It was never meant to grant anyone carte blanche to hand-pick the factoids they prefer out of an overview and spin entire articles around them. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral for now Delete. If it were fleshed out and could (heh) evolve into a better article it would be worth keeping. If this is all it will ever be then delete. I don't see it having any ability to expand. - Tεxτurε 18:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. What is this good fpr? 129.215.194.206 Pilatus 18:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deletion is best. A redirect is OK by me also, if it helps build consensus. At any rate, this should not have its own article, as I've been saying on various talk pages for a while now. See Category talk:Evolution polls for more discussion on single-poll-articles in general. Friday (talk) 18:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, until and unless someone does a successful merge. This is a perfectly good example of Wikipedia:Content forking not a "POV fork" (if by that FM means a page created to promote a particular point of view). Uncle Ed 18:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    You've been saying you're going to merge it for a while now. I've tolerated it so far, but how long with this go on? Please use your User space, not article space, for works-in-progress. A single poll way well be a useful source for an article, but it doesn't make an article by itself. Friday (talk) 18:46, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't recall ever saying I would merge it. I prefer it to stand alone, for easier reference. I've amended my words above to clarify this. Uncle Ed 18:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect. Minimal content, belongs in the context of a larger article. Durova 18:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, a redirect is useless because nobody will look it up under this name. Andrew Levine 18:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    No, two people already have! One came all the way to my talk page just to ask me where to find this information. Uncle Ed 18:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Not sure why we need a running tally, but it sure seems misleading to me to count the redirect voters as a keep. By saying redirect, some editors are saying that this article should not exist on its own. Interpreting that as "keep" is extremely questionable in my opinion. I'm clarifying my comments for the benefit of whoever closes this Afd. Friday (talk) 19:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree. There is still no consensus but the "score" is 1 keep, 2 redirect, 2 delete. - Tεxτurε 19:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • If policy has changed from "redirects count as keep", then I owe someone an apology. Last time I read the deletion guidelines, the only choices were Keep or Delete. (When did it change?) Uncle Ed 19:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Lately, those who are good at closing Afds have been using actual human judgement and common sense, not simple vote counting, to interpret the results. Friday (talk) 19:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ed, saying "redirect" cannot be read as "keep" although it is clearly not "delete". Make sense? Otherwise, you would read my "neutral" as "keep" merely because it isn't "delete", right? Of course not. The result as of now is no consensus to delete (this is "for deletion", after all and not "AfK"). You could always rework it as: "Delete: 2, Not for Deletion: 3" or some such to be accurate but I don't think adding a tally is appropriate to any AfD. - Tεxτurε 19:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • I hope the people who do close this take into consideration the nature of my vote. Gallup is a respected polling organization and its findings are usually meaningful. I don't think this is worthy of an article on its own, but I do agree the material is encyclopedic within the context of a larger piece. Durova 21:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia cannot possibly list all polls on all subjects. If the material is relevant, then encorporate it elsewhere. -^demon 20:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. POV forkism is disruptive Vsmith 20:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Why not an article on either this specific poll or this and similar polls? Ed, why not voluntarily withdraw it to your user space until you add enough to it to show it has value? WAS 4.250 22:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete, the title and subject matter are too ambiguous and specific. (meaning, why is a 2001 poll notable/large enough to get an article?) It could stand on its own if moved, rewritten (expanded big time) and notable as a historical analysis of polls (not just gallup) on this subject. - RoyBoy 800 22:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The poll itself is not noteworthy outside of the article creation-evolution controversy. Polls are inately superfulous because they only gauge sentiment at one particular time. The actual votes (in Kansas, Pennsylvania, etc., where school boards have been displaced) are news, opinion polls before the fact become instantly irrelevant. Jtmichcock 22:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as sub-trivial, better handled in the main article and the reason for its creation is unclear (we don't have articles for most of the other polls Gallup conduct - there are thousands every year and many of them have an outcome designed in from the outset by the questions used). This seems to endow one small poll with a wholly disproportionate weight. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 22:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The information is notable, but an entire article it isn't. Poll results can be (and are) mentioned on the relevant pages. (forgot the sig the first time) -Parallel or Together ? 01:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A data dump. (Wikipedia is not a collection of raw data.) Worse, a POV-selective data dump. Cherry-picked data is actively misleading. And an article on a poll suggests that the poll is particularly meaningful or pertinent. This poll has no particular meaning with regard to fact as opposed to belief. - Nunh-huh 02:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with the creation-evolution controversy article Cynical 12:40, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep only if majorly rewritten: this is actual a fairly famous poll, in that it has been given over the course of many years (starting in 1982 I think). I'm not sure why this article only focuses on the 2001 version, because there was a more recent one given (with the same questions) in August of 2005. I even updated one of the articles here on WP (that Uncle Ed was involved in) that was using these 2001 numbers with the more recent version. It might be nice to have a page that shows this poll in historical context as well, which is much more valuable than a single snapshot point in time. A page discussing creationism polls in general might be even more useful. for example, this page is nicely done, and adds some nice context to the Gallup poll.

What is this? A censorship campaign against any Wikipedia article which sheds doubt on the POV that "around half of Americans support evolution"? All I'm asking is that Wikipedia report EXACTLY what polls say on this subject. Uncle Ed 18:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to say that such-and-such a proportion of Americans supports such-and-such a view on evolution, the data to support this should go into the creationism article. I really don't know what you hope to achieve by continuously creating articles that do nothing but report the fact that some poll has been conducted. Pilatus 20:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If you want the EXACT poll numbers, please use the 2005 poll, not the 2001 one. Better yet, write an article as suggested above that mentions all the years and why this poll is important. Turnstep 23:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is so much wrong with this page. Wikipedia isn't a soapbox or repository of survey data.

I heard on radio4 today, about Wiki, I'd come across it quite a few times, but I think the comments on radio 4 that "every page ought to have a 'under construction'" badge gave me the impression that I might be able to in some contributions. One under "Bliar", I in retrospect was inappropriate - but I still hadn't a clue why someone kept wiping it! I would have thought that new articles would be categorised as "under construction" - then "for review" then finally "for publication". I've found it very difficult to find my way around this site - and the tutorials weren't much help (but I never read instruction manuals so its probably me). As for "incrementalism", it is years since I was last involved in this type of work & perhaps I'm taking on too much trying to put together an entry that will satisfy the critics!

Aspects of evolution[edit]

This is a Wikipedia:POV fork of the evolution page written from the original research perspective of User:Ed_Poor. As such, this article does not belong in Wikipedia. Joshuaschroeder 18:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In an attempt to circumvent the AfD process, User:Ed_Poor moved the article to a different namespace. This is very disrespectful of the Wikipedia community. --Joshuaschroeder 15:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Just moved it back - pending resolution of this afd. Vsmith 16:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. More silliness by Ed Vsmith 02:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, with regret, unless fixed. Although the nominator is correct, in theory I think this could be fixed if the author could supply good source citations to show that the distinctions he's making are not original. I think it is possible that one could tell almost the same story essentially in the form of linked quotations from recognized authorities. The current debate on evolution is my worst nightmare because it is characterized by dogma and lack of clear thinking and intellectual honesty on both sides. The evolution of animals does not necessarily mean they evolved in exactly the way Charles Darwin, or George Gaylord Simpson, or Stephen Jay Gould said they did, just as the existence of God does not necessarily mean that everything the Bible says about God is true. I guess what I'm saying is that I hate to vote delete on a very good, clear, reasonably neutral essay. In its present state though, it should be deleted for the reason the nominator gives.

Carlos E Nemer[edit]

Nn-bio; university professor with several degress.-- PeruvianLlama(spit) 22:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:33, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Abstain - Subject is probably notable for writing books on such diverse subjects... unfortunatly the article currently provides no details. Nevertheless one of the two authors has continued to improve the article since it was flagged. -Meegs 21:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Yes, the authors have continued adding content to the article since I the nom for AfD, and at least seem genuinely interested in making it encyclopaedic. I'm still unconvinced that the subject is necessarily noteworthy, but I'm quite willing to give it some time to see. For the moment, my vote should be considered Abstain. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 04:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete since it has been several days, and I've not seen any significant efforts to add any true assertions of notability, or even plain references to this man's existence. I find it odd that each [45] of [46] the [47] items [48] listed under the Biography section turn up no Google results. I'm also put off by the fact that Google searches for "Carlos Nemer", [49] and "Carlos E* Nemer", [50] do not give promising results. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 22:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think the publication claims made in the article would certainly satisfy notability. However, I have not been able to verify any of the publications with search engines either. I don't understand much Portuguese, but I'm pretty sure this is a list of the faculty of the DEI department of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and this is a list of the DEIN faculty at the Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro. Carlos Nemer is not on either list. Despite overwhelming evidence, this just doesn't smell like a hoax. Nevertheless, I changed my vote above from keep to abstain, but I'm not strongly opposed to a delete any more. -Meegs 12:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentYes, the article is improving, but currently no sources are sited and it includes references to Mr. Nemer's hobbies and interests, which are practically impossible to verify. Also, is the original author going to take ownership and continue maintaining the article? So my vote should also be Abstain.TheRingess 18:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hu (talk • contribs) 13:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD discussion did not gather enough votes for consensus. There are only two votes other than "abstain" which I think is too few. Relisting. Please add comments below this line. — JIP | Talk 19:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Although subject gets almost no Google hits and his short bibliography is incomplete: nearly all university professors publish papers of some sort, in his case they must not be in English. This absolutely does not fail to state share of authorship or distinguish type of publication. The subject's home country may have different academic standards from the United States and perhaps all his work was written in his mother tongue: Portuguese, however from my little knowledge of academia three baccalaureate degrees and two master's degrees is particularly impressive even in the absence of a doctoral degree. Durova 20:45, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. What Google hits there are Wikipedia and mirrors. No Google book results and the only reference in Google Scholar was a reference to a chap by the name of Carlos Nemer Vieria here [51]

  • Keep: There's nothing wrong with it. It deserves to be here with tv.com and tvtome. don't delete this off of here!
  • Comment Please consider voting on the article's merit as per established inclusion guidelines at WP:WEB, not because of its tone. If it reads like an advertisement, then either copyedit it or put {{advertisement}} tag and move on. That's it. Also, please sign your posts by typing ~~~~ Thank you. -- Perfecto 00:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The site generates no money, and therefore, cannot be considered a giant advertisement! It is an information site. The site's focus is on cataloging television shows from the birth of television to now. It's database is fast and growing. It is what many consider the best alternative to Tv.com's highly inaccurate guide. Tv.com I might add, is filled with flash ads. Tv.com is the site that should be deleted from wikipedia, for being one giant ad site with bad information. There is no reason for TVRage to be deleted. The only reason it's even up for consideration is because people from CNET probably complained until someone finally gave in and said yes.
  • Keep: There is nothing wrong with it.
  • Comment 170.20.11.116 did it again. This IP removed the AfD tag, and the article went without it for 30 hours. Your disrespectful behaviour is not welcome here. Please go away. You guys asked, "If tv.com can stay at wiki, why cant tvrage." Answer: TV.com has 726 Alexa rank, 89 million Google hits, and has mention in various reliable sources and over 500 wikipedia articles. TVrage? What's that? I ask: "Is the article a contribution? Will Wikipedia gain from an article from the site, or the other way around?" Answer this before saying "keep" again. -- Perfecto 01:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I say keep. I don't represent either site, I'm justa former editor for TvTome who is retired. To reply to the above, the only reason TV.com has the hits it gets is because for months, it was the ONLY television site on the net, coped with the fact that it started off with TvTome's share of frequent visitors. And if you were to break down those hits, most of them are from people who are clicking the old TvTome links. PLUS, it's membership system is linked to the rest of Cnet's sites, generating 1/3rd of it's usership by force alone. If that site were to have started cold, it would be low in numbers as well. Plus, TVrage is not the only small televison website you've allowed to remain here. Sites like EPGuides and TV IV get just as low of visitorship, and you keep them around. TVrage is in the exact same place TvTome was 3 years ago. In time, it will be competing with TV.com on a major level. As far as benefits go, in full honesty, I don't see how Wikipedia benefits from ANY of the info on its site. Nor do I see how TV.com's listing benefits you. I'd really like to see if you're getting 89 million hits through your listing of them here. You don't charge, there are little to no ads... this place is one giant reference library for the world. To deny information based on Google hits and how it benefits you in the longrun is just plain biast. If TVrage were a porno site, I'd agree with you. But it's not. It's a television library and archive that is growing twice as fast in info as TV.com is daily. Yeah, they have a large library to catch up on, but TV.com's submission process and constant problems isn't helping them stay on top either. Give it three months and watch the site grow. If it doesn't do anything for you, put it back up for deletion and see how that goes. If it keeps growing, leave it be. I really don't see what the problem here is. --GenuineMind--
  • Keep: We are not at tv rage to seek salvation nor are we their to mock tv.com, even though it should be... TV Rage is a user friendly site, and for wiki to just delete it off of this site, well it's just demeaning. -Batman Beyonder.
  • Keep: Why should this be deleted? It's a real site with real information!
  • Comment- When are you guys deciding to keep or deleting this, or are you waiting for more "Deletes". (Perfecto probably works at Tv.com)
  • Well, Epguides has no article here. TV IV barely survived deletion last month. (It had one major media coverage.) Your other points get no argument from me, though. But now that I've put time to examine the site for merit, I'll put my vote. Delete — fails WP:WEB: no national or international media attention; zero verifiable impact outside its user community; Alexa rank 1,560,223; "link:tvrage.com" give nn results; finally, article itself does not assert any notability. -- Perfecto 02:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- The site is one month old and is establishing itself. How do you expect international attention when they've barely had time to establish national attention? But it does catalog international shows, which will bring in international appeal. Impact, again, needs time. And the article is notable from a legal standpoint. Tv.com announced they owned all the rights to information posted on its site. AND, that they would seek legal action against any further websites who tried to start up. In other words, they wanted to cover the market. However, the site is an information site and is posting OTHER people's copyrighted material. TVrage is the first site to defy them and point out that they have no legal ground to stand on. If they hadn't stood up for themselves and other sites existing, they'd be dead by now. Again, give them three months and let them grow. See where they stand after that time. --GenuineMind--
    Hi there! Wikipedia is not to be used to ESTABLISH notoriety, as your post seems to suggest. Please review WP:WEB to see why this website does not belong, at least, not yet. Regards, - CHAIRBOY (☎) 03:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- On the contrary, several articles on your site have been used to establish notoriety. Tv.com in itself is a perfect example. Only up for 6 months, popularity only driven by it's predicessor, and it's staying? Don't tell me that site came under review and stayed. Pretend Wikipedia was back in 1994, and Nirvana just ended. Would you have posted an artticle on the Foo Fighters 6 months after Cobain's death? I think not. I've reviewed the WP:WEB three times now. And every time a new argument is presented, I counter act it. Then a new set of them come up, as if you're reaching for straws hoping to find the right one. It just feels as if this page was singeled out for deletion, and nothing we say can prevent it. Despite the 3-1 ratio of "Keep" votes from people not working for Wikipedia. Despite the fact that you agreed with me on many of my points. And despite the fact that no matter what what we say, you're not giving the website a chance to grow for a while and come under review. I know someone brought this site to your attention and demanded it be deleted. Even I can't believe you would just happen to trip over it and decide this rock needs to go. It just feels a little too suspicious, especially after Tv.com's director declaired they were raging war on TVrage. --GenuineMind--
    Hi there! We love conspiracy theories here at Wikipedia, so if you could provide more details, we'd appreciate it! Your post suggests that you're not familiar with WP:TINC, I hope you find value! As a note, anonymous votes from users who have not created accounts or have few edits are usually disregarded, so the 3:1 ratio you mentioned isn't going to be as helpful as you think. I hope you can come out the other side of this matter intact and continue to contribute to Wikipedia! Your passion can be focused, and I look forward to seeing your future articles on subjects that meet notability requirements. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 03:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- I really wish I could, but my heart lies with my real job and other projects I'm more passionate about. If you paid me, I'd join in a heartbeat, but I doubt you pay. And even if you did, at this point I'm really disheartened by this. I'm hard working and very accurate, but I can't put my energy behind a site that seems biast. I mean, why not examine every TV related site? In essence, aren't all of them using you as a promotion site to gain notoriety? Especially when TV.com is one giant ad, and has done nothing to help you back. I'm not accusing anyone of being bribed, more along the lines of someone being harrassed or persuaded by someone over there. Plus, you haven't really given an indication that the site would be allowed back, or given any options to them on how they can come back or stay. Further supporting the idea that this site was picked to be removed for good. It's just wrong. And if this is how your website is going to be, I don't see a point in supporting it or adding to it. And the real shame of that is, no one will see this poor example of management. This conversation will be deleted right along with it and no one will see why it was removed or how this conversation went. So not only will it be deleted, but there will be no record of why it was deleted, and how it went down. Again, it's just wrong. --GenuineMind--

And again, how does the site qualify as Spam? We make no money, we don't advertise, we don't sell products, no pop-ups, and no email scams. It's a media library, without the media.
  • Keep: TVRage is getting more and more known by the day and in time will surpass TV.com TV.com isn't a very valuable tool if you are looking for guides on TV series, but TVRage is. It isn't fair to keep TV.com and remove TVRage. If you want to remove Rage, they both should go.

  • Keep: TVRage is one of the most informative television sites around these days, and while the forum moderators are lenient, that doesn't mean they allow spam. They just have a better way of going about it by locking the spam threads, rather than deleting them and taking them into Area 51 like they never happened. Some, of course, are deleted if a spammer makes threads that cover the whole first page, but other than that, they confront spam, not ignore it. TV.com could learn from TVRage.

  • Keep. This is not article is not about to go to press, it doesn't need to be perfect right now. Look at it this way, it is better for someone to edit and improve an article than not having it at all.

Grow out of your green dress, and support people who right articles instead of shooting them down.


Nonsense in the article[edit]

Here's a sentence that should not be in any encyclopedia anywhere:

It is not known how much their products cost, but their products are only available to companies. The price range for a basic forum is said to be anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000, with 1,000 pages views being said to range anywhere from $1000 to $2000.

The first part "It is not known how much their products cost..." is nonsensical and false. The customers know how much they spend. The sales force in the company knows how much they sell.

Following that with "but their products are only available to companies." is just amazingly bad grammar. Perhaps the author meant to say, "The forums aren't available to the general public, and according to "So and So, a representative of the company, the forums may cost a company between x and y dollars", or something like that.

Perhaps the original author could have sent an email to the company, stating that they were doing research for an article on Wikipedia and wished to know a basic price range. I'm sure that someone in the company could have given them some information, but maybe that counts as original research.

Then they continue the nonsense with "price range for a basic forum is said to be...", who said it, and if someone said it, why aren't they mentioned and the source provided?

And the next "...with 1000 page views being said...", which begs the question who said it? And is it1000 page views per day, per month, per hour? I argue that these two sentences do not belong, as they are written, in any Encyclopedia anywhere. And no editor has felt compelled to either delete them or rewrite them (and I'm not volunteering, except to delete them). Take those two sentences away and you're left with nothing. Plus, it's just my personal opinion, the number of google hits a phrase gets is a terrible metric for determining whether or not an article belongs. Simply because, more and more, Wikipedia is used as a source for a hit. So why not delete, and if someone is so bothered by that, let them recreate it and write a better article.

Re: the above comments:I think the individuals above are expressing non-rational reasons with a fair degree of emotional opinion for deleting this page. I hardly think "a bunch of non-notable luvvies" is a considered and reasonable reason to remove an item from the site. Including jokes within the comment (e.g. "consigned to the prop store") shows a lack of reasonable and considered argument. If these comments were more considered I would be more inclined to take on board their criticisms and possibly remove the text myself. But in light of the nature of the comments posted, I am both offended by their ignorance and blatant predjudice and also rather dismayed that this supposedly "open" resource is seemingly rather less open than perhaps it would seem.

Ecuadorean woman, 116, is world's oldest person Fri Dec 9, 2005 2:10 PM GMT Printer Friendly | Email Article | RSS

By Tim Castle

LONDON (Reuters) - A 116-year-old Ecuadorean woman was declared the oldest person in the world on Friday, lifting the title from a U.S. woman previously thought to be the oldest person alive, Guinness World Records said.

Maria Esther Capovilla was confirmed as the oldest living person after her family sent details of her birth and marriage certificates to Guinness World Records.

"We only told her yesterday she was the new Guinness world record holder," Kate White, brand manager at the records publisher told Reuters. "We hadn't heard of her before."

"She's in very good health, she's got good sight, is able to read the papers and watch television, and doesn't walk with a stick," White added.

Capovilla was born in Guayaqull in western Ecuador on September 14, 1889, and lives there today with her daughter-in-law and son.

She had five children, and has four grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Her husband died in 1949.

White said Capovilla had been asked what she thought about the changes she had seen over her life.

"She said she disliked the fact that presently it's acceptable for women to pursue men. And she said that every day she thanks God that she's alive," White said.

As a girl at the turn of the century one of Capovilla's favourite pastimes was going to parties, where she never drank alcohol.

At the time it was the custom for women just to touch the rim of the glass with their lips without drinking, as a sign of accepting hospitality, her family told Guinness World Records.

Elizabeth Bolden, from Memphis, Tennessee, born August 15, 1890, had previously been regarded as the oldest living person.

Edith "Judy" Ingamell, 111 years old, from Enfield north of London, became the oldest woman in Britain after the death on Wednesday of the previous title holder Lucy d'Abreu, Guinness World Records said.

D'Abreu, who lived to 113, attributed her longevity to a daily dose of brandy and dry ginger ale.

Emiliano Mercado Del Toro, from Puerto Rico, born August 21, 1891, is the world's oldest living man, aged 114, says Guinness World Records.

Blocky[edit]

Lengthy article about some "online comic made with the Half-Life 2 engine". The only people apparently interested in writing the article haven't touched it in 5+ months, and in that time, the site hosting the comic, as well as the apparent fansite and archive, seem to have shut down permanently. I can't find anywhere else where this thing is hosted. So basically, this is an abandoned article about an abandoned webcomic. W.marsh 21:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A Google forarteology alone returns 670-odd hits from a few design, art and architecture firms using the word as a trademark and this page which appears to be the source of the article text and is one, apparently anonymous individual's research page. although there is a field of artefact studies I do not feel that anything on this page usefully describes that discipline or it reads like an encyclopaedia article.

List of African-American abolitionists[edit]

Surely a list of African-American abolitionists is functionally identical to a list of African-Americans alive at the time? A list of African-Americans not supporting abolitionism would be interesting, but I genuinely cannot see the point of this list. Am I missing something? Just zis  Guy, you know?

  • Delete per nomination. This is equal to having a List of Buffalo Bills fans who are Buffalo Bills fans.Gateman1997 23:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and cleanup. This is a list of abolitionists who were active in the anti-slavery movement and is a useful list. Could do with a cleanup but notable. Capitalistroadster 01:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Capitalistroadster. African-Americans actually active in the Abolitionist movement are definitely notable due to the conditions of the time. -- JLaTondre 02:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Important historical list. -- JJay 03:46, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but add an introductory paragraph to state the qualifications for inclusion on this list. The criticism that nominated this page for deletion is a valid one. However, just as personal opposition to a war does not necessarily make an individual a leader of an antiwar movement, personal opposition to slavery does not necessarily make someone a notable abolitionist. Durova 05:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: what Durova said. There's a difference between sentiment and action. -Sean Curtin 07:13, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why single out black abolitionists, though? I'd support a list of prominent abolitionists, and maybe even a note as to which of those were white or black, but as stated I cannot imagine any black person being anything other than an abolitionist. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 22:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Your question is complicated, but you can not make the statement that all blacks were abolitionists (there are many examples). Nevertheless, this list is historically important- See [55] or [56]. -- JJay 22:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of GameFAQs user levels[edit]

List of anti-Semites[edit]

I've thought long and hard about this. There are, for me, at least four fundamental problems with this list. First, the historical context of anti-semitism changed fundamentally after 1945, and it is not possible to compare pre-war and post-war anti-semitism. Second, the degree of anti-semitism expressed is subjective. Some have been removed as not provably anti-semitic, but that leaves everyone else who has ever made a disparaging comment about the Jewish people lumped to gether with Hitler in a sort of listcruft-meets-Godwin. Third, this is precisely the kind of thing categories are for. Editors on an article will notice and revert an inappropriate category; they may well not see addition to a list. Fourth, it seems to me arbitrary to pick anti-semitism. Many of those listed were equal-opportunities bigots, equally vile in their attitude to black people, ethnic Slavs or whatever. So I think this is a flawed concept, not least becaiuse I fail to see how this might have any positive purpose in the context of an encyclopaedia. Other than pursuing a witch hunt, what reason could there be for this list? Surely a few well-chosen articles are quite sufficient to demonstrate the phenomenon of anti-semitism. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 23:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Some of the same points were raised in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of White supremacists - the two articles had many names in common, and I note that the names Voltaire and Hitler came up in discussion in both cases. So those voting may find that debate relevant. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 22:33, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Responding to the criticism above: The context of anti-semitism has changed, but so has the concept of sexuality, nationality, and race but we have lists of famous gays, Belgians (including those who lived before Belgium was a nation), etc., etc. The degree does not seem to matter in any other list (we don't ask how 'gay' was someone to be listed, or how 'Belgian'). This is an interesting category in that anti-Semitism has been a force that transcends time, place, and other boundaries that bring a really interesting mix of names to the list...like the list of left handed people would do...And yes, some on the list would fit into many other categories but that is not the issue: we don't delete famous left handed gay Belgians from 2 lists and arbitrarily leave them on one that we choose? Carlossuarez46 00:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Slur-fest. It is impossible to list people as anti-Semites without associating them with Hitler. Coverage of this subject needs a lot of context. A list is hopelessly inappropriate. Choalbaton 00:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not an easy vote but a firm one. Some subjects just aren't suitable for list format and this is one of them. An article tracing the history of antisemitism would be useful. A category could be appropriate. I find it irresponsible - bordering on disturbing - to see Bobby Fischer classed alongside Adolf Hitler. Durova 00:35, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete LOL to the above. Antidote 03:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The information isn't relevant enough. List of Anti-Semetic authors, or List of Anti-Semetic works is something that could provide a jumping off point into content that would allow for the development of an understanding of something specific by an interested reader. But, just a list of anti-semites doesn't have any significant information or benefit that I can see. It's too general and vague. V. Alex Brennen 03:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. -- JJay 03:49, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While some of these are pretty indisputable, there is no way to ever fully avoid POV on this page. David Irving and Jean-Marie Le Pen, both on the list, would (and probably have) denied charges of anti-Semitism. Richard Nixon is a dubious inclusion; he made some very nasty statements about Jews while on tape, but can someone for whom Henry Kissinger, Ben Stein, and other Jews were proud to work for really be an anti-Semite? The total lack of citation is also troubling and will probably never be fixed, leaving readers to wonder why Voltaire or Ludwig Wittgenstein are on the list. Andrew Levine 07:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see how proper context and citation can be added to (and maintained) this article while it is in list form. If necessary, each of the individuals whose article already details real or alleged anti-semetism could be added to some new category. -Meegs 07:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Of what use is a list that lumps together Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire and racist, genocidal dictator Adolf Hitler? As pointed out above, this is completely POV, and unmaintainable. It's like making a List of people who have been arrested and then including serial killers alongside public figures who were busted for drugs or some other petty offense. Firebug 08:37, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
