The International Music Industry and the Internet[edit]

Looks like a personal essay. The same user/author(?) also added Wikipedia:Sociology of Wikipedia via Rorty and Berger, which I wikified a little and moved to Wikipedia namespace as it may be interesting to wikipedians.--Nabla 00:44, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

  • Delete. OR, WP:NOT crystal ball. Massive unwikified text dump of a speculative essay, much of which is unattributed quotes. Looks like someone's homework. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:03, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as an essay. Mr Bound 02:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Android79 -EDM 04:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete concur with other votes, doesn't conform to wikipedia layout standards. Srcrowl 05:16, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - POV essay. Blackcats 09:44, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Original research. 23skidoo 15:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per android. StopTheFiling 18:22, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep If wikify-able. I have done some edits to remove the layout objections, but this is quite obviously someone's term paper. However, I think there is useful information here which is not original research, but collation of many articles already out there on paper. --Habap 19:08, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a place for OR, however, I think there is much to save from this essay that is verifiable and NPOV. It will require a great deal of trimming and cleaning-up but could be the start of a very good article. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I think a lot of those issues may already be covered in other articles, but if somebody wants to take the time to re-write this, then I'll change my vote to "keep." Blackcats 01:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • This article needs major cleanup. It's obviously full of POV and the conclusion lets us know it's somebody's research paper. Keep iff it's had major revision by the end of the voting period, otherwise delete. RickK 05:03, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
    • I just realized something. As I said, this article reads like somebody's homework... what if it is a rough draft of some student's paper, and we are cleaning it up for him/her? Could be... AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:01, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete POV original research. JamesBurns 06:32, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I think it could be useful if someone were willing to remove the arguments, take out the stuff that makes it a research paper and make it NPOV. I got tired after trimming it down and also trying to do the same with SoGamed. I think it should get tagged for NPOV, Cleanup and wikify rather than deletion. --Habap 18:33, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Despite the work that various editors have tried, still not good enough. Delete.DS 14:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Starfox movie[edit]

Not notable. Vanity. It is a fan made video game movie that hasn't been released yet. It has no relations with Nintendo. The website is quite amateurish with default image manipulation effects. Chill Pill Bill 00:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Non-canonical. Gotta applaud this level of fan dedication, but an encyclopedia really is not the place for it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:19, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for fanon and WP:NOT crystal ball (just a little bit, though). Mr Bound 01:55, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Lin kuei[edit]

Fiction masquerading as fact, fancruft from the mortal combat domain -- pcrtalk 00:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

also Lin Kuei which appears to be a duplicate -- pcrtalk 00:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete both as severe fancruft. It was difficult to tell until they mentioned Sub-Zero, et al. Mr Bound 02:00, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Most of it is just fancruft. However, the term Lin Kuei does exist in the Mortal Kombat series. So unless it's trivial, a rewrite is also good. Nestea 03:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • delete. also a copyvio (although the page is not available, this is the google cache). Brighterorange 03:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. This can be turned from fiction masquerading as fact by simply placing at the beginning, "In the mythology of the Mortal Kombat series of video games, ..." Copyvio is a different problem, but fixable, and not one for vfd. -- BD2412 talk 04:18, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
    • Eh, I fixed it a bit - made it clear that it's fiction, and BOLDLY REDIRECTED the original page to the properly capitalized one (since they were duplicates, no harm, no foul). I have no desire to fight to keep this, tho - once the copyvio is scratched out, there may be only enough left to merge into some character article. Cheers. -- BD2412 talk 04:26, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable fancruft. JamesBurns 06:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, important to Mortal Combat fans. Kappa 11:21, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Lin Kuei, though obviously if it's copyvio then will need a re-write. - Lochaber 11:31, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge as per WP:FICT. Martg76 21:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • keeep this too please Yuckfoo 18:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I edited it a LOT. I kept all the previous information (let's call it "BS") in the bottom two sections, with a note that says it's disputed. If somebody can point to a source (for instance, MK: Defenders of the Realms or some such), then that'd be fine, but as it was, it sucked. The other sections now come straight from the games, except where noted. It's very complete, though maybe somebody could find a better word for "roboticization", as it currently links to a site from Sonic the Hedgehog :-) As for keeping, I say Keep if only because of the time I spent on it (cross-referencing as necessary). While Sub-Zero's page has some similar info, I think focusing on the group has an interesting angle (especially if future games delve into it more).
  • Keep. — J3ff 02:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Now that its been made clear that it's about Mortal Kombat. -- Crevaner 04:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. There's tonnes of this stuff about various computer games, this is no less notable than most of it Stephen 12:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep due to no consensus. There are nine delete votes, and eight keep votes, but one of those is from an entirely new user who's first edit was to vote on this VFD, and it is discounted. Still 9-7 is not a sufficient consensus to delete. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Naruto.no[edit]

Non-notable website — J3ff 00:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. wikipedia is not a website directory. Website has alexa ranking of 576,606. Frankchn 02:09, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete website advertising. JamesBurns 06:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn, spam. the wub (talk) 09:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Website vanity. Sarg 14:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Naruto.no is probably the biggest Norwegian anime-related community to date, and consists of more than the web site in itself. At any rate, the article seems no less relevant than the one concerning the Something Awful forums. Ninuor 21:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep good enough for me, Ninuor. SchmuckyTheCat 03:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Ninuor. — Instantnood 04:14, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep What Ninuor said. Besides if you follow Alexa, naruto.no has gone up 2,054,508. Havok 07:46, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Isn't that, like, down instead?  Grue  17:28, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • It's ranked 600,261 right now. To put it in perspective, Norway's biggest gaming store is ranked 858,772. I'm just saying that Alexa shouldn't have anything to do with this. Havok 17:33, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Alexa ranking is ridiculously low for that kind of site.  Grue  17:45, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree with Ninuor. Sketchu 22:07, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Pavel Vozenilek 23:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep NSR 14:47, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per trivially low Alexa rank. This says something about the other Norwegian anime-related communities. Radiant_>|< 21:57, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • "The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach)." I just find it hilarious that you guys find it a problem with this article being on Wiki. Also that you so blindly follow Alexa. It's not saying much about the anime community in Norway, since I really doubt many norwegians use the Alexa Toolbar. Havok 00:50, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Per Radiant. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:31, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

The Contest[edit]

An anon just created this article, and it describes an episode on a TV show. At the most, it should be merged with the article on the TV show- unless Wikipedia gives articles to every episode of a show? Flcelloguy 02:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and rename to The Contest. Many TV series get the article-per-episode treatment on Wikipedia, and there are already some for Seinfeld. In addition, this might be one of the most famous/popular episodes of the show – it's certainly one of my favorites. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:14, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Android79. --Xcali 03:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename as per Android. This was one of the most notable Seinfeld episodes. Capitalistroadster 03:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I moved it to The Contest, as this could be done without disrupting the vfd process. Wasn't this episode voted to be the fan favorite or something of that sort? -- BD2412 talk 04:29, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Keep Not only do I love this episode, its masturbatory theme makes it an arguable landmark in the history of US television. Xoloz 05:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- notable episode, even in UK --Simon Cursitor 07:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, needs expansion - personally I prefer to see omnibus articles of episode guides by season however if this was a particularly notable episode then I'd prefer to keep. -- Lochaber 11:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per above, but rename the article The Contest (Seinfeld) as the current title is too generic and there are probably other episodes of TV shows that have this same title.23skidoo 15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • There's no need to pre-emptively disambiguate the title. The article's first line clearly explains that the article is about an episode of Seinfeld. If and when someone comes along and wants to create The Contest (foo), disambiguation can occur then. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, expand, and rename as per 23skidoo. –DeweyQ 15:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, this could be the most notable episode of a very notable sitcom. ErikNY 18:10, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. NSR 20:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into a list of episodes. Not enough information to warrent independent article. Martg76 21:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, I made this first and me and my friend are going to try and fill in as many episodes as we can each with their own link from the List of Seinfeld episodes
  • Keep, add it to the growing list of Seinfeld episodes with articles including Male Unbonding, The Stake Out, and The Trip, Part 1. The Simpsons has an article for almost every episode and I envision each of these articles will have a uniform look with sufficient detail (see Who Shot Mr. Burns? for more details). We have to start somewhere. --Will2k 13:56, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, but should the list of seinfeld episdoes page be linked to the seinfeld page concerning the show in general?--K zappa 19:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into a list of episodes. --Micahbrwn 05:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete Religous nelly, redirect Religous zealot. Eugene van der Pijll 19:45, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Religous nelly & Religous zealot[edit]

According to Google, "Religious nelly" is a not a common term. Results 1 - 5 of 5 for "Religious nelly". Another article created by the same person is "Religous zealot", please note the missing "i" just like the nelly one. Anyways could zealot be more of a stub or merge into an established article? According to Google, it is a common term. Chill Pill Bill 02:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • delete both. There may be some room for an article on religious zealotry, but neither of these would be a good starting point. Since they're spelled wrong (and the misspellings are not common), and do not contain useful content, both should simply be deleted. Brighterorange 03:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete both per Brighterorange - he's exactly right. -- BD2412 talk 04:34, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Redirect "Religous" Zealot as a common typo misspelling. Xoloz 05:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Both terms are just the usual petulance. There are too many synonyms for an article on this. You could have fanatic, fundamentalist, religious conversion, and, of course, the real Zealots, who were a political faction. Geogre 11:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Religous nelly, not a term in real use. Redirect Religous zealot to Zealot. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete both. I do not like support of typos, this can get out of hand. Pavel Vozenilek 23:30, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Religous nelly and redirect Religous zealot per Xoloz. I agree that this typo is common enough to be redirected. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Reduction (linguistics)[edit]

Delete- This article is saying that sez is a reduction of (says) Excuse me, but how is sez a reduction of says? That's how says is pronounced even in isolation. sez is only a more phonetic spelling spelling than says. sez is how the word says is pronounced. It's not a reduction 205.188.116.132 03:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Could use some expansion, but it is a legit linguistic concept. -- BD2412 talk 14:31, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article is well-written, informative, and encyclopaedic. To the original anon IP: It all depends on how you pronounce "says". jglc | t | c 15:10, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: it is a perfectly ligitimate but someone does need to do a little more with the article, maybe even consider it as a stub for expansion. By the way, this is the second legit article from Category:Phonology that I've seen put on VfD by a user from IP number 205.188.166.xxx. The other is Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/H-cluster reductions. Bambaiah 05:12, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's true that sez is not a reduction of says, but that's hardly a ground for deletion of the whole article. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

These are not the droids you are looking for[edit]

Already has a section in Notable lines in the Star Wars series. No need for its own article. KramarDanIkabu 03:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge. The seperate article has a lot more information than the subsection that Kramar is pointing to; while the phrase likely doesn't warrant its own entry, what is there goes well beyond a dicdef or simple explanation and could be used to bolster the subsection.--Mitsukai 03:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merrrrrrge. No articles on lines from movies, please (unless the line is more famous than the film). -- BD2412 talk 04:35, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

Comment. Although it's a well-remembered movie line, I see no evidence to support that it has achieved the same level of use as, say, "Here's lookin' at you, kid" or "You talkin' to me?". 23skidoo 13:31, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Mark Jen[edit]

  • Keep or merge with Blog or Google. Mark Jen is not the only person who has a lost a job as a result of what s/he put on his/her blog, so you might want to have a section of the Blog article relating to "perils of blogging in a work situation where the rules are not clearly stated" or something like that. In the meantime, keep the stub as is.

Delete Famous for writing a blog and being fired for it... please.... Bloghate 03:38, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • User:Bloghate's crusade notwithstanding, this guy's really only notable for being a moron. Delete, although I wouldn't oppose a merge somewhere; say, into Blog, where this could be used as an example of the perils of blogging about your employer. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 03:59, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this one. Merge would be harmless. -- BD2412 talk 04:52, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Keep or find somewhere to merge. While Mark Jen may or may not be notable, the event certainly was. Blog doesn't really deal with the legal issues that have been being raised in the blogosphere, such as Apple Computer suing a Harvard undergraduate who runs a popular Mac information website for disclosing details about unreleased Apple products. Those issues need to be covered here some place. DS1953 05:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable. JamesBurns 06:40, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge. I don't mind a mention about the legal issues of blogging in Blog, but this guy isn't really notable for his own article. - Mgm|(talk) 08:20, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This guy is notable. I learned about him recently when he was interviewed in a NPR program. I can't remember the exact program (need to check it out), but believe it was a country-wide (i.e. USA) program (could be Talk of the Nation, but not 100% sure). From what I heard, he is a very sensible guy and sound nice. He wrote his blog in his private time to keep in touch with family and friends, and Google was too harsh to fire him for that. Google didn't accuse him of acting in bad-faith or making false statement, the corporation just don't like an employee "talking". This raise a number of issues regarding employee's rights, blogging and whistle blowers (They are not "morons" and I strongly object the use of this word by AиDя01DTALKEMAIL). I'm not a contributor of the article nor related to Mark Jen in any way; just someone concerned about civil rights. I apologize for not providing specific details, but please research and reconsider, thanks. -- Vsion 09:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • If he said he "wrote his blog in his private time to keep in touch with family and friends" on that show, then he misrepresented himself to quite a large degree. He revealed information about unreleased products and financial issues at Google. Perhaps calling him a moron was a bit harsh, but publishing this sort of information on the Web within weeks of being hired without thinking about the potential consequences is a bit naïve, to say the least. His case has almost nothing to do with civil rights or whistleblowing. I have researched and considered this – I read all about it when it hit Slashdot – and took a look at his blog again before casting my vote above. The guy is not notable outside of the context of this flap with Google. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 12:55, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge per the above. Legal issues are interesting, this person is not. Radiant_>|< 12:15, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as forgettable. --Scimitar 14:29, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Blog. When I first read about Mark Jen, his was just one of five examples of people fired for similar blogging missteps. He is not an archetype for this kind of idiocy and therefore does not merit his own article. –DeweyQ 16:02, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge. If no appropriate place can be found to merge then delete. People get fired every day for all sorts of things. This is only slightly out of the ordinary. -R. fiend 17:28, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete (or very, very weak merge) unless we're going to start having articles for everyone who's ever been fired for doing something dumb. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:06, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Blog or Google. The event was notable. --ElfWord 11:32, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is clearly an attempt to raise the popularity of his blog and hence earn more revenue through Google's Adsense program! Strong Candidate for Delete! Ram 11:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Contributions by nominator are suspicious given the (potentially offensive) user name. Considering an WP:RFC if these disruptive actions continue. Hall Monitor 17:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge either into Google or Blog. Should there be a section on bloggers who have been fired in Wikipedia? (I'm thinking of Dooce, Washingtonienne or Queen of the Sky ) --TNLNYC 22:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Matt Stoller[edit]

Vanity blogger page Bloghate 03:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not notable. Looks like vanity, indeed, with the inane comment about dogs. Alexa for bopnews.com, which is not actually mentioned in the article: 111,307. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 04:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete vanity. JamesBurns 06:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Not vanity--the article was contributed by someone other than the subject if you check its history. The inane bit about dogs is lifted from the blurb on the 2004 Democratic Convention descriptions of bloggers they accredited. Matt Stoller was one of these, a distinction also left out of this tiny write-up. User:Betsythedevine
  • Keep. Notable in his field. Not only one of 123 bloggers at DNC 2004, he wrote the Democratic Convention's official weblog with the official blogger, Eric Schnure [1]. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:19, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I Googled this guy's name and got 92,700 hits.--Kross 15:05, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Doesn't look like a vanity site - it even fails to identify his birth date. Unless, of course, that is just a sly trick.... However, it sounds like he was at least among the bloggers that the parties decided to take seriously. (This despite the fact that I cannot be troubled to read his blog.) --Habap 18:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Influential in bringing a presidential candidate into the race, how can he not be notable? That aside, he is distinctive for his coverage of the DNC and other political events. --ElfWord 11:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Stoller is notable. Kaibabsquirrel 23:03, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Signature Song[edit]

Dicdef, no potential for expansion, except for the potential of a useless and unverifiable list of "signature songs"—Wahoofive (talk) 04:03, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Sorry, I disagree. Keep. Notable concept, and not expressed here as merely a list of songs (although a few examples would be nice). -- BD2412 talk 04:37, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable concept. I added a few examples. Kappa 06:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Great, now it's a dicdef with some examples of somebody's favorite songs. How did you decide that "Purple Haze" is the Jimi Hendrix signature song (as opposed to, say, the Star-Spangled Banner)? Maple Leaf Rag is a much better-known song by Scott Joplin than The Entertainer, although the latter got a bunch of attention by being used in The Sting. All you did was add the song you know best by each performer. Six months from now it will be a random selection of people's favorite songs from their favorite bands. There's no verifiability for this list. You just made the article much worse by adding these. Without those it's still a dicdef.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I got 3 of them, including Purple Haze, by googling "signature song" and knowing that they had articles. Someone else had already added "signature song" to Respect (song) so that's not just my opinion. Is it controversial? You seem to be right about The Entertainer, so I'll that out, using the magic of an editable wiki. Kappa 16:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't have a particular opinion on this, but I would like to see it moved to Signature song (note the lower case s in "song"). Mgm|(talk) 08:22, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Nevermind, just moved it myself. - Mgm|(talk) 08:24, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Pretty good article now, notable concept. Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Notable concept. Capitalistroadster 17:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • No vote at present but lists like this generally degenerate into crap as people add whatever song comes into their head. I can easily see this becoming a list of one-hit wonders, for instance.. -R. fiend 17:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverifiable and subjective. After Kappa's refusal this spring to accept the concept "answer songs" (often discussed on radio shows such as Blues Before Midnight) as being distinct from "referential songs", I have a hard time with his claim that "signature songs" are well-defined and encyclopedic. Barno 19:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Um I claimed that answer songs are a subset of "songs which refer to other songs", is that concept hard to grasp? Kappa 19:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - far too subjective to ever be encyclopedic. Which is Styx's "signature song," Babe or Mr. Roboto or Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) or...? See where this is going? --FCYTravis 22:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I see that you would either leave Styx off the list or remove the Examples section. How does that equate to delete the article itself? DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article itself is an encyclopedic explanation. The four examples only serve to clarify the concept more. This article should not devolve to an unverifiable list of signature songs. Should the examples be controversial, just remove that section. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep although I also share R. fiend's concern about this becoming a list of one-hit wonders. Hopefully editors will boldly remove songs that are not really signature songs, although as FCYTravis says, it is not very objective. In my mind, a signature song means the one song that a popular and well-established singer (a much higher standard than merely a "notable" singer) is identified with even though he has had success with a variety of songs. I don't really understand what the current article means when it talks about songs the artist is "praised" for. DS1953 23:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • and by the way, in my opinion, many, if not most, well established artists are known by their body of work and have no "signature song". DS1953 23:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • This is the problem, we need someone who's had more than one hit (because, let's face it, "567-5309 Jenny" is not the sort of thing we need in this article) but they have to be widely known for one song above all else, but not too much above all else (or we're back in the one hit wonder grey area). I'm sure someone will add Tom Jones singing "It's Not Unusual" and I have no idea if that's enough above the hits like "Delilah" or "What's New Pussycat" to qualify, and I can see debates going on about such things (if anyone cares). These things are always tricky. And I still don't think anyone's taken care of the needed work on the cult musician article, which has similar issues. -R. fiend 02:01, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • How will you and DoubleBlue make this verifiable?—Wahoofive (talk) 23:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • DS1953, I like your explanation better: "the one song that a popular and well-established singer is identified with even though he has had success with a variety of songs." Will you edit the article to make this improvement? DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I'll give it a stab as soon as I get my real work done for the day... DS1953 00:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Wahoofive, I don't think a list is verifiable (although I think the example of "I Left my Heart in San Francisco" and Tony Bennett would gain almost universal acceptance as a "signature song") but I think an explanation with a few examples is verfifiable (i.e., the concept of a signature song is valid). I am not proposing a list of signature songs and I would hope (maybe unreasonably) that additions that don't garner almost universal agreement should be removed. DS1953 00:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Wahoofive, TonyBennett.net: "his now renowned signature song, 'I Left My Heart In San Francisco'", BBC News: "Franklin ... best known for her signature song Respect.", 45s.com:"'The Wanderer' ... is considered to be Dion's signature song." Hendrix is less clear; though google supports "Purple Haze". I can see how it could become problematic and wouldn't mind if the examples section was removed. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Well, I hope you're right. I have visions of revert wars everytime somebody adds the latest top-40 hit. Without the list it's still just a dicdef (and a pretty clumsy one at that: "an artist may have one or many signature songs..."). I don't deny the concept exists but I can't see this becoming encyclopedic.—Wahoofive (talk) 01:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep valid concept. A useful list may emerge, but that would be at a linked page (List of...), rather than at this one. Grutness...wha? 02:53, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • A separate list? That's the worst idea yet. -R. fiend 03:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep with a cleanup of the text towards a cleaner definition. I'm not sure about keeping the examples, but then I don't think we need a list either. Vegaswikian 05:46, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this list is very POV subjective and quite possibly unmaintainable. JamesBurns 07:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This screams subjectivity. Some songs by an artist are more popular in one market than another. --Madchester 17:19, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is a really bad idea for all the reasons given by the delete voters. Look at the article, after keep voters have improved it. "A signature song is a song considered to be the best material produced by an artist when they are at their artistic peak." -- considered best by who? Who says when they are at their artistic peak? "These songs are often praised by a particular performance of them by an artist at a concert or other event of significance." -- how is a song praised by a performance? I don't understand that sentence. "An artist can have one or many signature songs and they can have different signature songs in different parts of the world depending on where they are praised." -- lovely. One or many. How about I just say that all 38 of Elvis Presley's top 10 hits were his signature songs. I see no hope of verifiability of this ultra-subjective categorization, and not verifiable means not encyclopedic. Once the unverifiable material is removed all that's left is a dicdef.

  • Mild Shock, I am Travis Fahey. I must say I am a little shocked by the reaction to this listing, thus far. Upon checking my email yesterday, I discovered that a close friend of mine had created a listing in Wikipedia as a joke. I took it as that, a joke, despite the fact that I am, indeed, a two-time award-winning journalist from Burlington, Vermont. When you google my name, you'll mostly find references to my careers since; I have since worked in public realtions at Middlebury College and currently work as a corporate communications specialist. I think you all need to find something else to do with your time than berate what is clearly a humorous, albeit factually accurate, entry and a playful jab between two friends. - [[User:travisfahey|[[User talk:travisfahey|08:28, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Entire article reads: Susan Lulgjuraj is a journalist for the SPORTS section of The Press of Atlantic City. An online newspaper.

Hi, i am the author of one of the below "keep" comments. i would like to adress the sock puppets accusation... im not sure what exactly sock puppets means, but i guess it's something to do with all the votes being from the one person? you may find with a little research, perhaps contact the institution mentioned on the ian hedger page (st. bede's college, mentone, victoria, australia), that many of these comments come from students. they have heard about the page through word of mouth, and are supporting the TRUE story about their friend/acquantance. You may also find that the two entries from the same IP adress are entries from step brothers, using two computers on the same network. I urge that these facts be considered before this page is dismissed as a hoax or a joke. Before dismissing this, someone please do some research.

The chances of the boy still being alive are virtually zero, and it is my belief that he has found a happier place.

List of massacres committed during the Al-Aqsa Intifada[edit]

I know there was a VfD for this one already, but that was more than a year ago, and I think it needs to be reconsidered. This article is some of the most blatant POV I’ve seen yet on Wikipedia. Even the American mainstream media, which has a definite pro-Israel bias, does not refer to suicide bombings as massacres. “Massacre” is a very emotive word, and does not fit with the mission of being informative. A list like this should simply be called what it is – a “list of major suicide-bombings against Israel since 2000.” The page was designed to give readers the impressions that Israel has been victim of repeated “massacres,” while killings of Palestinians are left out. The Israel human rights group BtSelem, however, reports that more than three times more Palestinians have been killed by Israelis during this period than Israelis killed by Palestinians [8]. The authors of this page claim that it wasn’t designed just for killings where the victims were Israelis, but the wording was cleverly designed to exclude any actions by the Israeli government, since of course it will always deny that any of their actions intentionally targeted civilians. So therefore none of them will ever appear on this list. So anyway, unless this article is dramatically changed, so as to remove the word “massacre” and either include violence against Palestinians or be clearly labeled as “violence against Israelis,” then it deserves to be deleted as POV propaganda. Blackcats 08:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • What do you think should be done with Deir Yassin massacre? It also has that very emotive word "massacre" in the title, which "does not fit with the mission of being informative". Should it be moved to a less emotive title, or simply deleted as per this article? Jayjg (talk) 15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Blackats' argument wasn't made based on naming conventions, but rather on the claim that the word "massacre" was "emotive" and therefore the article should be deleted. By the way, how would your Google test work for "Passover massacre", which gets 8,060 hits, vs. Wikipedia's article Netanya suicide attack, which gets 223 hits, most of them Wikipedia mirrors? Jayjg (talk) 20:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Of the Google hits for "Passover Massacre," only 3,610 even mention "Netanya" [9]. 10,900 mention "suicide bombing" in conjuction with "Netanya" without even mentioning the word "massacre" [10]. 3390 mention "suicide attack" in conjunction with "Netanya," again without the word "massacre" mentioned [11]. So there's no clear case for calling any incident in Netanya "the Passover Massacre." Blackcats 22:11, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Propaganda. --Irishpunktom\talk 10:41, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - it's quite irrelevant that the list doesn't mention Palestinian casualties - nothing prevents creation of a similar list on numbers of Palestinians killed in specific Israeli actions - and putting a "See also" linking to it on the bottom of this page. I agree that "massacre" is a loaded word, but most of these events involved the deaths of 20+ people, so the title is not misleading... no objection to substituting "suicide bombings" for massacres. -- BD2412 talk 14:00, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think we should encourage the creation of POV forks as BD2412 seems to be advocation. See all of the debates going on about articles realing to the conflict in Cyprus. --Xcali 14:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, all lists are POV forks to some extent. Does the List of serial killers by country diminish mass murders (who kill equal numbers but in a shorter time) by not including them, because the authors of that article are concerned with one particular type of multiple killer? Does the List of war crimes diminish the deaths that happen as a result of non-war related genocide, or airplane crashes, or industrial accidents? We could have one giant "List of all events in which more than 10 people died at one time", but that would be mush, so we divide things up into neat categories that are bounded by identifiable markers. That's why lists of which people in country X (or conflict X) were killed by circumstance Y are legitimate. -- BD2412 talk 17:05, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
  • Substitute "Suicide bombings" for "massacres", to help avoid POV forking. --Scimitar 14:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. You don't delete an article because you don't like the title, and the article can certainly included actions deliberately targetting Palestinian civilians, or as Scimitar suggests, the title can be changed to "Suicide bombings etc.". Jayjg (talk) 15:19, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Rename If this is a list of suicide bomb attacks then that is what it should say. Massacre is a loaded term, even if more than 10 people die and we should be careful of using it anywhere especially as here without any discussion of the facts of the incidents.old joe 11:03, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, they could be investigated to see if they fit the description. I would assume that something which without warning deliberately kills, say, ten unarmed civilians going about their daily business would generally be described as a massacre, any effort to pretty it up would be adding a POV; sometimes things speak for themselves. Compare to the constant campaign to delete quotes from Ann Coulter from her wikipage because they make her look bad and thus are POV. We could put a comment in for each whether it was suicide bomb or more personal methodology if we're dubious about calling a suicide bombing a massacre. I don't know if ten is the accepted threshold for a massacre or not. Gzuckier 16:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • keep--Neria 16:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Having myself created List of Algerian massacres of the 1990s, I certainly won't suggest that this page should be deleted simply for referring to events as massacres. The term "massacre" is an appropriate description for killings of large numbers of civilians at once, and I would consider it an accurate description of at least some of the events linked. However, 10 is probably too low a threshold (I used 50 myself), and Blackcats is certainly right to highlight the weasel wording that allows massacres by Israel to be kept out of the list. Keep and cleanup. - Mustafaa 17:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, unless we decide that "massacare" is an inherently POV term, in which case other articles should be deleted or renamed as well (such as List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war) The wording was not "cleverly designed" by the authours of this page (that would be me. Thanks for the compliment, BTW). Rather, it was lifted directly (including the number "10") from Talk:List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, where it was presented by User:BL (which is the author of that article, I believe). -- uriber 17:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, at best, the call for VfD is a reason to rename the article, not to eliminate it. (I don't have a problem renaming it) Saswann 13:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, but clean up, monitor closely for POV, use Mustafaa's "massacre" threshhold, and if the title is believed to be "POV", the proper way to deal with that is by discussing a MOVE on the article's TALK page, not by nominating the article for VfD. Tomer TALK 00:42, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - this article is useful, but just as Mustafaa mentioned, it needs some cleaning up.--Gramaic 08:08, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and use consistent definition of "massacre" throughout WP. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 10:04, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Ridiculous to suggest that it's a massacre when Jews kill Arabs, but not vice versa. If "Massacre" is POV it's POV across the board- including the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, etc.--Briangotts 15:48, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hustis[edit]

Etymology of a surname, already transwikied to Wiktionary. There are no Hustisses (Hustises?) to disambiguate or redirect to. --Cryptic (talk) 11:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete: Etymology. It's also weird. "Hustis" is more Americanized than "Eustis?" Uhhh, ok, but that follows none of the usual rules. Geogre 12:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames. If the alleged connection between Hustis and Eustis is confirmed, however, I would say to redirect to Eustis, an drop a line in that disambig stating something like that "Eustis is a surname, and Hustis is a variation thereof." -- BD2412 talk 14:20, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
Comment: Since in Greek an /h/ is merely an aspiration mark and, in general, /h/ is not a consonant, it's quite likely for an "Herb/herb" divergence to take place, but it's just as likely that they're separate words from separate languages. It's just not logically necessary for one to be from the other, and "Americanizing" names doesn't usually involve aspirating their initial vowels. Geogre 17:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

He died in the 9/11 attacks, but WP:NOT a memorial service, and he isn't otherwise notable. Most of his article is not about him, but about what happened before and during the attack. Radiant_>|< 11:16, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep: His name appears in contexts other than the 9/11 victims, and he is the sort of pop-culture reference that people will soon need explained via an encyclopedia. Thus, the article exists to explain this name. Geogre 12:59, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tom Burnett[edit]

He died in the 9/11 attacks, but WP:NOT a memorial service, and he otherwise only marginally notable, as vp of a small company that has no WP entry. Most of his article is not about him, but about what happened before and during the attack. Radiant_>|< 11:17, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak keep: This name is not nearly as frequently mentioned as Beamer's is outside of a context that makes his identity clear, but the three or so airborne folks who left words, etc., are possibly going to need to be explained to future readers. Geogre 13:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Knowledge wars[edit]

This phrase had a brief currency in referring to the Middle East debate, but died out as expected. Google shows almost all current references as meaning something different. Today it is barely used and there is nothing to say here that wouldn't be better said on some other MidEast-related page.

  • This article is incredibly badly written. In amongst phrases such as "awesomeness" and "of the Mexican persuasion", the only facts in this article are the date of birth (She's 18 years old today.), the professions of this person's parents, the existence of a sister, the existence of a web log, and this person's attendance of fashion school. All of the rest is exactly the sort of "unrealized aspirations, thoughts, and hobbies" content that Wikipedia:vanity discusses.

Jay Blanchard (filmmaker)[edit]

While reverting some sneaky vandalism done to my user page, I checked the vandal's edits. There I found this page, and as the person mentioned seemed unnotable, I nominated him here. Note: The name gets a lot of google hits, but they seem to be for other Jay Blanchards, such as the state senator or the professor. Scimitar 15:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep-- This is a legitimate entry. The above statement is incomprehensible & seems like more of a revenge vote than an actual dismissal of the page. Jay Blanchard's work can be found online, as well as much of his writing about experimental film, which has published domestically and internationally. I don't think a simple Google search for a common name should be a measure of importance. User:CMarker12 15:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • A lot of people's work can be found online, but anyone can put films or websites up nowadays. He appears to be just another guy with his camera. And there's thausands of similar people, and nothing to distinguish him from the others. (see solah films and 54 hours film). Unless you can provide evidence he's famous, or otherwise important delete. Mgm|(talk) 18:09, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Umm...genius? The solahfilms website you linked to is Jay Blanchard's site. And he is a member of the 54-hrs. collective. If anyone can "pick up a camera and make a film", try it. What a joke. comment made by anon166.19.102.20 Sign your votes please.--Scimitar 19:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

St Matthew's Church, Kensington, Adelaide[edit]

I have listed this article for deletion because (a) it is incorrectly named, (b) it is more of an advertisement than an article and (c) it is not notable. Cyberjunkie 15:51, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Disagree on notability, but points a and b are granted. Furthermore "St. Bart's" is probably "St. Bartholomew's". --Scimitar 15:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Churches in Adelaide or somewhere. How is (a) a reason for deletion? Kappa 16:12, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Do you mean article titles are not reasons for deletions? I think it is a reason. It shouldn't be "..., Kensington, Adelaide" just as an article shouldn't be "..., London, England, United Kingdom, Earth, etc". If it is to be kept, it should be either "..., Kensington" or "..., Adelaide".-- Cyberjunkie 16:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
So if London was entitled London, England, United Kingdom, Earth you would nominate it for deletion? Kappa 17:11, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

        • You'd be surprised just how many people in how many countries in the world have heard of individual Pokémon characters, too. People apply the "Pokémon test" but don't really comprehend how widely known Pokémon actually is. The Pokémon test actually sets quite a high bar, not the low one that people make it out to set. And many things that people claim "pass the Pokémon test" actually don't. Uncle G 22:03, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

  • Of the 534 edits to the article since it was created on 17 July 2004, almost all of them have been reverted as "vandalism" or as the addition of inappropriate content (all the "Totse-isms"). The vandalism and reversions has been fairly constant throughout the life of the article. The alexa ranking is currently at about 15,000 but has been highly variable over time and appears to have centered around 25,000 or so. If the claims of the current article are to be believed, there are only 30k users - not all that many for an internet forum. I would normally give some deferrence to an article that has been around for a year but the vandalism history concerns me deeply. Undecided for now but leaning toward delete. More verifiable evidence would be helpful. Rossami (talk) 22:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

(Or rather, the reputation exists but is inaccurate.) So few inbound links for a Web forum suggests lack of widespread significance: valuable only to its participants, and apparently not for any good reason.

The result of the debate was merge with Norwood, South Australia. Reasoning is this: If we count the nomination and the bolded votes we find 5 deletes and 1 keep. That is a consensus to delete. Reading the comments however we find two of the delete votes saying that the useful info should be merged with the Norwood article. I will interpret those as merge votes.

Knowing the number of R-rated movies this list would be huge and unmanageable; it gets even more complicated when movie rating systems in other than the U.S. are brought into the picture, some of which have their own R ratings; and this is arguably promoting a POV in favor of the MPAA's rating system by even having such a list.

    • While some of us may have been slightly harsh I would like to point out that while, yes, we all were new users once, I sincerely doubt any of the above voters ever behaved like this, particularly after being told numerous times that such behavior was disruptive and not appreciated. He continued to make lists only slightly more viable than List of movies with the words "good", "bad", and "ugly" in the title on one extreme, and List of movies about stuff on the other, as well as making substubs that didn't even contain the most basic information an article requires. Most had to be salvaged by some of us who cleaned them up to make them even minimally viable. I can't speak for the user's intent, not knowing what it is, but keep in mind intent is the difference between murder and manslaughter. It doesn't get you off the hook entirely. -R. fiend 02:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Qur'an desecration by US detainees[edit]

Yet another limp fork of Qur'an desecration controversy of 2005 (see also Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Qur'an desecration at Guantánamo Bay). This is part of a binge of creating new articles, renaming the original article again and again and generally messing around with the content, in an apparent attempt to further a POV. --Lee Hunter 16:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If I were a detainee. I can use my copy of Qu'ran to do whatever I want to do as long as it does not cause any trouble. It is a completely different matter if U.S. military personnels take that copy of Qu'ran from a defenseless and unprotected detainees and do something to it. -- Toytoy 17:32, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Painted Whore (formerly (The Painted Whore)[edit]

Article is improperly formatted; also, title begins with an open parenthesis "("). Moreover, Google searches for "The Painted Whore" + Sarah, or + "Black Bishop", or any of the other cited characters in the entry come up with 0 hits. This is anonymous IP's first and only contribution. jglc | t | c 16:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Would this serve as a good redirect to computer or some other article? Meelar (talk) 19:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not a notable term - nor even one that is in use, surely. Those who do telecomms will be offended that such garbage is attributed to their field! Also, it doesn't appear on the Federal Standard 1037C page, which gets the blame for many substandard technical articles. Further, that page says "insubstantial articles ... should not be copied into Wikipedia", which doesn't qualify as a policy, but still. I don't think there's much point in a redirect, either - else we'll end up redirecting small computer, big computer and my sister's computer too - none of which will be searched for any more than this one will.-Splash 20:24, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Melissa Lee[edit]

Likely vanity. Only claims to notability are "bit" roles in three films, but Internet Movie Database doesn't list her in any of them. (IMDB lists five Melissa Lees, but not this one.) Actors with only insignificant credits are not notable. MysteryDog 20:28, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vanity. Just being an actor in the very broadest sense of the word does not make one notable. Uncredited roles don't clear the bar. -R. fiend 20:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per R. fiend. DS1953 20:59, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I may well be one of the most inclusionist voters when it comes to actors, as I generally believe that an IMDB entry should equal a WP entry. However, this one is way too non-notable even for me. Might even be a hoax, as it's hard to imagine anyone behaving like a "diva" whilst cast as an extra(!) Even if we swallow the whole thing, though, it's still non-notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:26, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • I'd be very hesitant to make the claim that an IMDb entry should equal a WP entry. IMDb has no rules against self-promotion as we do, and they really will list just about anyone. I don't know if your criteria extends beyond actors to Key Grips, Gaffers, 3rd Assistant editors and the like, but if it does I'd encourage you to think about this policy of yours, especially when we consider the B and C grade films that are made and sold straight to DVD on the interent these days. -R. fiend 02:26, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • While I doubt that anyone is exactly hurrying to write an article on some guy who was second-unit assistant dolly grip on some early-70s spaghetti western, I don't see why WP couldn't or shouldn't include such an article if someone was willing to write it. The obvious question would be: why bother to waste time duplicating info that's already on the IMDB? The answer to that is simple: the IMDB is not open information. It's riddled with ads, including incredibly-intrusive Flash ads, and some of it already requires a paid account to access. The information needs to be freed. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:30, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
        • I can think of one person who might be anxious to write an article on the second-unit assistant dolly grip on some early-70s spaghetti western, and that's the second-unit assistant dolly grip on some early-70s spaghetti western. We've had problems with people using IMDb to justify wikipedia vanity articles before, and I'm not anxious to encourage it. IMDb basically promotes vanity, and if we mirror them then we are promoting vanity as well, which I am loath to do. While actors, based on their prominent physical appearance in films and our culture's obesession with celebrity, are generally much more notable than people of equivalent ability in other professions, I hardly think anyone in any way associated with a movie is. Have you been to a film recently? Have you seen how long it takes all the credits to scroll across the screen at the end? Is every one of those names in every single movie worthy of an encyclopedia article? Even actors, I would say, should have a substantial role or two in a film/TV show (and by substantial I don't mean "leading" or even "major", but something better than an extra/nonspeaking/uncredited role or "Man in cab line #4"). Wikipedia and IMDb serve different (but overlapping) purposes, and wikipedia should not try to be IMDb. They will always be a better film database than we are, but we will always be a better encyclopedia. -R. fiend 16:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • In addition can you honestly say these people, for example, should have wikipedia articles? [20] [21] [22] -R. fiend 16:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

List of songs with numbers in the title[edit]

Chinatowns in the Middle East[edit]

I added the vfd tag to this page because the two case examples, Tel Aviv and Dubai, seem to be unverifiable. There is no clear evidence that there is a single Chinatown in the Middle East. While there might actually be one, this page contribute no encyclopedia-worthy information. freestylefrappe 19:24, May 27, 2005 (UTC)


I am completing the nomination begun by Freestylefrappe.RJFJR 22:04, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • The supplied link gives some evidence of a Chinatown in Dubai (which is hardly surprising as Dubai is a truly cosmopolitan city), not sure about the Tel Aviv one. Anyway, any verified information can be merged into the Chinatown article and included in the List of Chinatowns, as this article gives no real information beyond the fact that they (supposedly) exist. -R. fiend 02:20, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Interesting article that's part of a Chinatowns in _____ series. I will try to contribute towards improving the article. -ÅfÇ++ 03:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, I doubt that an article as in depth and informative as the other Chinatowns in ___ articles. I don't believe that there are any other Chinatowns in the Middle East and an initial search for information on the Tel Aviv Chinatown is proving difficult. I suggest treating Dubai Chinatown as its own article much like other Dubai developments (Palm Islands, The World (archipelago), Burj Dubai, Dubai Land) -ÅfÇ++ 05:26, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep if there are none. This article is here as part of the series from the {{chinatown}} template. If this article is deleted, the template should also be changed. Or maybe update the template and then Delete this article. Vegaswikian 06:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Saltshaker[edit]

Nonsense dic def, delete --nixie 22:51, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Since this is a widely used and understood term, I vote the definition be maintained. Furthermore, while it may be seen as slang, it cannot be seen as pejoritive or derogitory, hence its standing is sound. Maintain -- Barrettmagic 22:52, 2005 Jun 15 (according to edit history. Uncle G 00:18, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC))
  • Delete. Neologism? Mr Bound 22:56, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Challenge Does not meet Wikipedia criteria for nonsense (IE - total, completely and irremediably confused, patented, poorly written, patisan, religious, flame bait, obscene, vandalism, non-native, hoaxes or fictional) User: Barrettmagic (actually 137.69.85.36 23:03, 2005 Jun 15 according to edit history. Uncle G 00:18, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC))
    • Sure, it may not be "patent nonsense" in the official Wikipedia definition of it, but I think "nonsense" here is being used in its everyday meaning instead, especially considering the fact that patent nonsense is usually nominated for speedy deletion. But just because something isn't patent nonsense doesn't mean the article should be kept. — Ливай | ☺ 23:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Speculative etymology. No merge candidates. JFW | T@lk 23:03, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Neologism, most of the "saltshaker" links I get on Google are to Christian sites, so it appears to be a term of some religious significance. The usage in question, while potentially existing, does not appear to be in widespread use. --FCYTravis 23:04, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC) - keep as rewritten.
  • Delete. The slang definitions of the word that I could find include a variety of sexual topics, but like a lot of slang neologisms it seems to have widely divergent meanings depending on who is using it. And like all poorly-defined slang neologisms, it probably doesn't belong here in the Wikipedia. I doubt it is "widely used and understood" based on this and the fact that I have never heard it in my life. — Ливай | ☺ 23:08, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Change of vote: Keep rewritten article. Very nice job! — Ливай | ☺ 02:10, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Maintain 'have never heard it in my life' - isnt that what wikipedia is all about? to learn and grow? Besides it has no christian connection - I'm a heathen. For more information on the term, please visit www.myassismygift.com Barrettmagic 23:15, 2005 Jun 15 (according to edit history. Uncle G 00:18, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC))
    • Well, if you want to claim that it is widely used and understood I would like to see some evidence of that. The fact that I have never heard it used (and that nobody else has said that they have heard it) is evidence that it is not widely used or understood, as is the fact that it is not listed in the Urban Dictionary and the fact that I cannot find any instance of the word being used as such on Google. Wikipedia is about learning about the world at large, not about learning slang terms used among a group of friends somewhere. — Ливай | ☺ 23:24, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • please visit www.myassismygift.com — since that redirects to http://www.barrettmagic.com/, and since you are User:Barrettmagic, you are apparently citing yourself as a source, providing no verifiability at all. isnt that what wikipedia is all about? — Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. It isn't about promoting made-up slang definitions for words. This is for several reasons:
      • Wikipedia is not a soapbox.
      • Wikipedia is not a dictionary, especially not a slang dictionary. Definitions of words are not what we do here in the first place. They are Wiktionary's job. Wiktionary doesn't accept made-up definitions for words, either, though. It documents how words have been and are actually used in practice, not new meanings of words or newly coined words that people don't (yet) use. If you want to promote slang definitions that you have made up, you are in completely the wrong place. Go to Urban Dictionary. That's what they do there. If your slang word catches on and enters widespread, independent, use, then it becomes eligible for Wiktionary.
    • Uncle G 01:01, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
  • Delete in the current state, its a more of a Dicdef and therefore cannot be expanded too much. Also, wikipedia is not a slang/idiom guide (or neologism in this case) see Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 23:10, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Either re-direct to salt (if impossible to make greater than a stub) or keep if possible. Georgia guy 23:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Would support keeping a "real" article on saltshakers though, they're a notable genre of collectable item. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:00, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Note that Georgia guy has provided a rewritten article about saltshakers, the containers for salt that one finds on dining tables — what I expected the article to be about when I saw the title, to be honest. Uncle G 00:21, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
  • This isn't the boat hire company (which is just another company, it seems), the Australian conservation project, or the musician (who might not meet the WP:MUSIC criteria, in any case). Redirect to salt shaker, unless someone writes about the Australian conservation project, which seems to be significant. Uncle G 01:01, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)

Star Trek: Enterprise alleged continuity problems[edit]

Reads far too much like a conversation for my liking. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Also could be considered original research. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and needs a very serious cleanup. Good stuff but is presented as a debate between anonymous fans. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:11, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The author is not using WP as a soapbox in this case mostly. Were it not for the extensive information in this article, I would have suggested a merge to Star Trek: Enterprise, but the article contains much substantial information and issues. However, the article definitely must be made into an actual article, not a debate.--M412k 23:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep By fully covering rebuttals for each point, this is a pretty good way to present such an article fairly and in a relatively NPOV format. While I do think this should be kept, I hope we're not showing a "nerd" bias here. I would imagine, for example, that a similar article collecting inconsistencies between the Pokemon anime and games would probably be deleted as "cruft". My point, friends, is that if we keep this article, we're setting a precedent or a "bar"... let's not forget that fact in future VfDs. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:12, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep although as a regular editor of the page in question I'll understand if my vote is discounted. As Andrew says above, attempts are made to keep this as balanced as possible, and the reason this page exists is because when it was originally part of the original article on Enterprise it was weighing things down. Now that the show is cancelled and the debates for and against the series are going to eventually fade away, this article can no doubt be shortened. It certainly does need to be trimmed regularly for NPOV. But I think it's a worthy article because it discusses what was (and still is) a hot topic in the science fiction community. Tone Sidaway's comment about it being a debate format is well taken as this is indeed the intent of the article initially because it was felt this was the easiest way of organizing opposing viewpoints (while reducing the possibility of vandalism or POV rants being added). But, the time is right to reformat and reorganize the article. PS. I see someone just added a cleanup tag to the article. Isn't this overkill? One would assume a VFD tag is by definition a cleanup request. 23skidoo 00:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • From early votes, it seems fairly likely that it will be a keep consensus. It is possible that the vfd notice will be removed before the clean-up is complete. Sorry if I have offended you, remove it if you like. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 00:55, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • What most concerns me is the lack of references. As it stands it could be interpreted as original research, with fans using Wikipedia to enter their own personal findings of apparent continuity problems. This is not permitted on Wikipedia. If some of these points and rebuttals are covered elsewhere, in one or more sources doesn't matter, then during cleanup those points should be retained and the references explicitly included. Points that just seem self-evident to the editor--no matter how obviously correct they are--should not be included if he can find no reasonable, citable source for them. Editors wanting to do that kind of work should take it to an appropriate fan forum and then maybe some other party will think the report notable enough to cite. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but in need of a serious cleanup. Fairly well written article. JamesBurns 07:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but rename to Star Trek: Enterprise continuity. Radiant_>|< 10:08, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This is a good article, just needs a cleanup RussellG 10:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. First of all, any of the major continuity problems that aren't notable enough to be mentioned in the main entperise article are fancruft. Second of all, this genre of article strongly implies original research, and if its kept I will delete any addition to the article if it is not accompianed by a refrence. The debate format makes it even worse because in the popular discussion (ie. the external to wikipedia discussions) its possible that many points will not have a counter point making any wikipedians attempt at a counterpoint necessarily a forbidden original research.
  • Keep I agree that the format needs to be changed for conformity's sake, but some echo of the point-counterpoint current format should be retained. And, in response to the last voter, I don't see anything that is truly original research, and there is nothing wrong with simply noting that some alleged continuity questions remain unanswered. I think you're jumping the gun here in assuming the worst of people who might add new points. Isn't faith in fellow users supposed to pervade this place? June 19, 2005
