Golden Dream[edit]

WP:NOT a recipe book. Do we delete cocktail recipes, regardless of notability? This one has the added bonus of apparently being an incorrect recipe, based on a google search. — brighterorange (talk) 00:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NOT book for badly named recipes. --Miborovsky 00:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:ISNOT a recipe book indeed. And we don't need to unload incorrect recipes onto Wikibooks. -Splash^talk 01:28, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Could you explain a notorious non-drinker why this recipe is badly named or incorrect? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, just search google and compare the recipes that come up; they are mostly inconsistent, but at least they name a specific liquor (this one just says 1/2oz liquor!) and include something that might turn it golden, rather than milk. — brighterorange (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, thanks for the clarification. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:25, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- May be a regional variant, but I can't find anything to back that up, so I'd say it doesn't even deserve a transwiki. --Isotope23 15:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darth Vader (cocktail), a cocktail can be tranwikied to the bartending Wikibook, but an incorrect recipe for a cocktail we shouldn't bother. — Phil Welch 20:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Number Shitting Bear[edit]

Even though it survived a nomination for deletion here I'm putting this article up for deletion again since there is no reasonable claim to notability and this appears to be just another internet animation. It also appears that all information on the subject is vague barring the little bit of info that you can obtain by going to the animation website. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 00:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete forgot to add right after nomninating and figured that the nom on it's own might not be counted as it's own delete vote. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 00:47, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per previous Vfd, useful for anyone looking for examples of popular internet memes. Kappa 01:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "Popular" is debatable with this one. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
While the previous VFD had no consensus on keeping or deletion, from looking at it, it is just another flash cartoon online. Delete. Zach (Sound Off) 01:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well-known enough to be called an internet phenomenon, albeit a minor one. Stlemur 01:28, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Phenomenon? Cult status? 320 Google hits? I think not. Wikipedia is not a repository for all the endless junk that floats around cyberspace. -Splash^talk 01:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even if it's reasonably well-known (not a given in this case), that doesn't make it notable or encyclopedic. —Cleared as filed. 02:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since this article doesn't appear to be about a particularly notable subject. It's just some web animation that a few people apparently like. Make an article when something important happens involving it. Tuf-Kat 06:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep please like liast time this is a notable article on wp:ua Yuckfoo 06:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Splash. While "survived its previous AfD" is useful data (because the previous AfD discussion may contain persuasive arguments), it does not really constitute a reason in and of itself to keep unencyclopedic articles around. Nandesuka 11:33, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Correctly claims notability, and with 770 Google hits (plus a handful on Usenet), it's more deserving than some of the garage bands we've kept. Owen× ☎ 12:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- 770 hits is nothing for an internet phenomenon. Plus, like I said more than half of them are repetitive. Note that this applies particularly to things with fewer than 1000 hits in the first place: Google reports unique hits in the first thousand, so Wikipedia starts out with millions, but appear to finish up with a few hundred. This is because Google isn't checking through the other 113 million. If a topic starts out with fewer than 1000, then the unique search finds them all. This has 320 useful Googles, and that is nowhere close to what an internet phenomenon should have. -Splash^talk 13:05, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - You are correct, it is only 320 hits. My mistake! However, since it is surviving the test of time, and has (slightly) more merit than most nonsense sites, I'd rather keep it. Being a Number Theory guy, though, I am possibly biased. :) Owen× ☎ 13:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - To say it's surviving the test of time is a bit of a misnomer I think, the only thing it's done to "survive" is not get AfD'd again until now. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - In "surviving the test of time" I meant generating interest for four years, as seen on Usenet and such, not just surviving the previous AfD. Owen× ☎ 20:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Marginal delete. I don't think this is notable, but I could be convinced otherwise, I guess. Everyking 13:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete i'd never heard of it, and if longcat is so terribly worth deleting, this sure as hell is KeiKusanagi 13:13, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per longcat. A page for every amusing forwarded email in the world? Vizjim 15:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Kappa. I've heard of it and a replication of it is a good basic project for newbie programmers. ;) splintax ^(talk) 15:26, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If people keep adding drek like this, Wikipedia is going to quickly turn into a repository for every stupid java or flash animation that somebody creates and then posts on the web. That being said, this article has survived one AfD and does generate a fair number of Google hits. While my personal opinion is that it is useless drivel, I will have to say Weak Keep. --Isotope23 15:37, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that it survived an AfD is a reason to keep it. There was no consensus last time, as it was a fairly contentious "vote" then too. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this must be the first time I have seen someone call an article "drek" and "drivel" and then vote to keep it. A previous no-consensus AfD is hardly binding either way in future, surely? -Splash^talk 19:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: "Internet meme" = "it got forwarded." Silly, transient epiphenomenon. Let it survive for two years, retain popularity, and break out into non-Internet usage. Right now, the only people who hear of it are already on the Internet, where they can see it. How is this answering questions or expanding the contexts of information? Geogre 17:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Appears to be a minor internet meme. 320 unique hits is pitifull for something that can only claim it's notability on the net. WP:NOT a programming guide, nor does survival of a past AfD garuntee current notability. Especially on a medium as transitory as the net, what may appear to be the next big thing one day, in retrospect can appear nothing more than a very minor flash in the pan. --Icelight 18:03, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that we're even talking about it at all, when the page itself dates from 2001, says something about its "flash in the pan" status IMO. — Stlemur 18:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Between then and now we haven't talked about it all, though. -Splash^talk 19:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. nonnotable. mikka (t) 18:23, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's not "surviving the test of time", it's abandoned -- last updated in 2003, promising to move to a domain which is now owned by a squatter. And it's no meme -- there's no body of derivative works like you'd see with goatse, badgers, or All Your Base. The bear is dead, let it rest. — mendel ☎ 19:01, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as trivial, nn Internet meme. MCB 19:42, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the same reasons as in the earlier no-consensus vote when this was VfD instead of AfD. No indication of increased significance. Not mentioned by either Republicans or Democrats in 2004 elections. (US-centric bias!!) I agree with Mendel and MCB. Show me any impact on the planet except letting people waste their time. Barno 19:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nn. Dottore So 20:25, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Let's apply some modus tollens to this. If the Prime Number Shitting Bear is a notable internet meme, it would have thousands of google hits. The Prime Number Shitting Bear does not have thousands of google hits. Therefore, we can conclude that the Prime Number Shitting Bear is not a notable internet meme. — Phil Welch 20:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nn meme, nonsense. Voting "keep because I've heard of it" is no more acceptable than "delete because I've never heard of it". User:Zoe|^(talk) 20:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An "internet meme" with only 320 Google hits isn't successful. For comparison, various permutations of AYBABTU get upwards of two million hits. --Carnildo 21:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Marginal Delete If it truly were notable I'd think the article would be able to actually describe the notability. Maybe in a wiki devoted to web humor, but not for a general purpose encyclopedia. Caerwine 04:05, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Never heard of it myself. And I get forwarded all manner of nn garbage. Sabine's Sunbird 04:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete totally insignificant internet meme. This is just a flash animation, not a phenonemon. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:14, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
'Delete - if someone really cares, they could merge it into a List of Minor Internet Memes, where we could then argue about it there. But there's no way that it needs it's own article. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:52, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete with wanton lust. A sizeable majority votes to delete this nonsense and people claim it's an obvious "keep"? Laughable. / Peter ^Isotalo 00:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I honestly cannot imagine why anyone would want to delete an article like this. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 01:06, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- ...what about all the reasons listed above with delete votes? - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:05, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "nn" is not a reason. Grue 17:45, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, none of the reasons given above is a reason for deletion according to the deletion policy. Minor branches of a subject that don't merit an article on their own are merge candidates. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 20:30, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bixby[edit]

I don't believe this group meets WP:MUSIC guidelines. The "article" is closer to an advertisement. Joyous (talk) 00:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of meeting WP:music. No allmusic.com article. The top article on a search for Bixby band was for a marching band based in a town called Bixby although there are some hits for this band including this article see [1]. They have got an album to their credit but no evidence of it charting or having a significant critical impact. Capitalistroadster 00:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nnbv as above. Since the album doesn't appear to have charted, they'd need at least two of them to meet WP:MUSIC. -Splash^talk 01:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for non-notability. Tuf-Kat 06:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I would think of Bill Bixby first and Bigsby tremolo bars second and Blixa third. No record contract, no distribution, no notability at this point. At least it's a C&W band and not another deththrashneumetalfunk. Geogre 18:00, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Will the closing admin please note that there is an image in this article that should be posted at WP:IfD as an orphan as soon as we delete this? Thanks. — Phil Welch 20:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

London Season (The Real World)[edit]

Why should this not remain on Wiki? Let me count the ways...

It was not the first or last season or a non-notable show.
It produced no persons of note (other than Jacinda Barrett, who has her own page).
It was not a 'groundbreaking' show in its concept or execution.
Er...that's it...Delete Eddie.willers 00:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, a whole TV season is even more notable than a single episode. "There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia." wiki is not paper. Kappa 01:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep--TV shows, watched by hundreds of thousands if not millions, are notable--the entire season certainly deserves an article. Meelar (talk) 03:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because it's definately notable; comment: the naming convention is exceedingly odd. Why London Season (The Real World) instead of The Real World (London)? RasputinAXP talk * contribs 03:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The naming convention is odd, but it follows the convention used on The Real World article. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 03:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, sure. The Real World's a popular show. Everyking 13:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now. It needs a cleanup and I agree the naming convention should be changed to The Real World (London). If nobody cleans this up in a reasonable time period I'd say it should go for AfD again. On the merits of notability, I'd say it stays though.--Isotope23 15:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is notable and popular show. In fact, it is MTV's most popular television show series. See Wikipedia's Nielsen_Ratings article: "Top 15 Cable Series, July 4-10" subsection. Each season has a different settings and cast members. Yes, the article should be renamed "The Real World (London)" just like the other Wikipedia's Real World subarticles. --J. Nguyen 19:26, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I just did the cleanup. The move of this article needs to wait until after the AfD. RasputinAXP talk * contribs 20:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, grudgingly. It's crap, but it's notable crap by Wikipedia's quite liberal standards (Not to complain, of course...). — Phil Welch 20:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, if we can have an article on every single episode of nn shows, an article on a single season of a show is keepable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's nothing more to be said about the character than what is listed, and that's pretty short even for a stub. I agree that if this is even going to be tossed about that there should be a single article with the drawing characters. Just holdovers from ANSI for compatibility's sake, correct?

Cherokee same sex in history[edit]

Keep seems legitimate although could be improved. PatGallacher 01:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- How is that. It is an absurd topic and if it is to be kept, it should be atleast merged with another article. The entire notion of a "same sex" article of a particular Indian tribe is ludicrous. If this is the case, we should have a Navajo same sex history article, and so forth. There is no need for this article on Wikipedia. Molotov (talk) 01:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

V. Molotov posted the following threat on Wikipedia in my message box. I consider his edits here to be retaliation. Based upon his statements, I do not believe he can be neutral regarding any article I write. Please **BLOCK** his access to my work. gadugi

FROM V. Molotov to user GADUGI:

Concerning Jeff Merkey

You have no right to post disgusting lies about me. I have never contacted you personally until now...but you need to know that your articles on Jeff Merkey and Cherokee_same_sex_in_history are not notable and you have caused a terrible Wiki Editor wars due to your selfishness. If you continue to lie I can only promise dire consequences And yes, I said your article was Bullcrap...only after YOU refused to give in to that article. DO NOT LIE ON ME AGAIN. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT LITTE VENDETTA YOU HAVE AGAINST ME. STOP NOW OR I WILL REALLY GET ANGRY I WANT TO SEE WHATEVER DOCUMENT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CONCERNING ME "CUSSING YOU OUT." I DON'T LIKE YOU. PRETTY SOON I WILL START HATING YOU IF YOU KEEP THIS CRAP UP. Molotov (talk) 01:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

This editor is obivously incompotent to this encyclopedia, as he has created several editor wars since he has gotten here. If this idiot wins this argument, I will leave Wikipedia. I will not be threatened or provoked by this guy...I left him the above message, but it includes no threats. Also note that this boy has left lies about me here and here - so that is why he has the above message sent to his talk page. Note that if this article is kept, and this user vindicates over me - after I have contributed thousands of edits to this encyclopedia, and have spent countless hours trying to help newbies - I will leave this encyclopedia, and suggest others to do the same. RickK is right, there is a fatal flaw in this system. I have done my best to contribute here while a vandal/idiot like this has literally taken Wikipedia by its balls. Molotov (talk)

Jewban[edit]

Obscure slang term best suited for Wiktionary; also some of the claims should be verified. Style a bit folksy at times. Bleak future as anything but a stub. paul klenk 03:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although as written it's very stubby, I think there are directions to take this that are beyond mere dicdefs (I had no idea there were Cuban Jews. How did they get there? How many are there? What is their culture like?). If in a few months it's still just a stub I would reconsider my vote, but I can see this being usefully expanded. Nandesuka 11:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep again. This article just survived a VfD and has already seen improvement since the original stub. Pburka 13:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As it stands, this is nothing more than a dicdef. I could support a Transwiki for it in it's current form. I would be willing to change my vote if someone substantially expanded this article as suggested by Nandesuka. However, until that happens I stand by a Delete since this has not been significantly expanded since the original AfD.--Isotope23 16:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the grounds that previous VfD was only ten days ago, and its only two delete votes were prompted by the original poorly-chosen name and a grudge against the author.

Sean Federline[edit]

I contend it to be both not notable and presently inappropriate. ~~The kid has not even been given a name officially yet!~~ Neither Madonna's children nor Michael Jackson's children have articles, so I fail to see how this can be justified. So, delete Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck part of my comment. It appears the child has in fact been named. Nevertheless, I don't believe it is deserved of an article.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 05:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected to Britney Spears, altho that article claims an "unconfirmed report" of the child's name. I think this should be speedily deleted if the name turns out to be incorrect. Redirect was reverted, so consider this a "vote" in favor of a Redirect to Britney Spears. I don't see that it's likely an infant will do something notable, and we only know about him due to his famous mother. Friday (talk) 04:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your redirect. You should refrain from doing such whilst a deletion discussion is concurrent. The article does not qualify for speedy deletion, either.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 05:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'll wait to see what happnes with the article. This is not a speedy, since being Britney's baby is an obvious *claim* of notability. Also, it's against the rules to put a re-direct in the midst of an AFD. Finally msnb is reporting "The couple has chosen Sean Preston as the name for their new son". So, that's slightly more than speculation. This article is entitled to a proper 5 five day vote, based on this. --rob 04:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Britney Spears per precedent. Also, even if the kid was born, he wouldn't have done anything to warrant his own article.

    - I think all the common fractions up to 1/12-11/12 As well as 1/16-15/16 (fractional inches) and 1/32-31/32 (Bond prices) are worthy of inclusion, and other fractions as needed. Basicly fractions that people are likely to encounter in daily life ought to be included. 5/8 is a pretty common fraction and so it merits inclusion. Klonimus 06:48, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wrong. Notability is a criterion for inclusion, especially so when it comes to numbers. Because Wikipedia is not infinite, we have notability and inclusion criteria for numbers. As mentioned above, per those very criteria, this number is notable. Uncle G 15:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. It is not inconceivable that some somewhat sexy facts about a particular number can be adduced; if that is done, the article could become worthwhile. Here's one: in one instance of his anticipation of integral calculus, Archimedes proved that the center of gravity of a solid hemisphere of uniform density is 5/8 of the way from the center of the sphere to the pole. Michael Hardy 00:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As pointed out by OwenX above, this number is notable as per the WikiProject Numbers notability and inclusion criteria. It is interesting to read RasputinAXP, Splash, A D Monroe III all asserting that this article is unexpandable beyond a one sentence stub, given that such expansion is exactly what has just happened. Modified article. ☺ MacGyverMagic, Dpbsmith, Karmosin, Ketiltrout, and Septentrionalis all are of the opinion that this article should be deleted because it did not contain anything beyond what is in its title. Since that is no longer true, I suggest that they reconsider their votes. Astrokey44 may care to note that there now are three interesting pieces of information listed on the page. The only problem with this article is its title, which most people cannot directly enter into the search box without gymnastics of various sorts. Per the WikiProject Numbers notability criteria and the discussion on article naming for fractions at Talk:one half, Keep and Rename to five eighths. Uncle G 15:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That's two only moderately interesting pieces of information: the spanner size stuff should go back there. But this is an assertion of notability, and I have changed my vote accordingly. Septentrionalis 17:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Back where? I didn't take it from another article. Moreover, you've changed your vote to delete, but struck through all of your rationale leaving only text that talks about keeping. Uncle G 20:03, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikiproject Numbers says "the careless creation of number article stubs is to be avoided." If this isn't a carelessly created number stub, I don't know what it is. The guideline is that before creating an article, "you ought to know at least three interesting properties of a number. (What constitutes interesting can be debated..." The current examples are strained. I don't believe for a minute anyone "knew" at three interesting properties of the number before the stub was created; they've been inventively added after the fact by another editor. If you had asked that editor a week ago to name an interesting fraction, I doubt that he or she would have said "Five-eighths." Now that they've been concocted, it's still very "debatable" whether these are "interesting properties."
- None of the examples given (approximately equal to kilometers/mile; Unicode code point; spanner size) is a property of the number at all. These are examples of use of the number, not properties of the number.
- The approximation of kilometers/mile is hardly interesting. It is not surprisingly close approximation in the way that 355/113 is a surprisingly ckise approximation for pi. If approximations to kilometers per mile are interesting, should also have articles for 31/50, 621/1000, 6133/10000, 61337/100000? The fact that it is a spanner size and that it has a Unicode code point are better documented in list form in the appropriate articles, if they are not already. No change in vote. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - On the contrary, the approximation of kilometers per mile is a "surprisingly close" approximation in exactly the same way that 355/113 is a surprisingly close approximation for pi. 355/113 is a continuant of the continued fraction expansion of pi, and as such, it is the best possible approximation without using a fraction with a larger denominator. In the U.S., one mile is defined by law to be exactly 15625/25146 kilometers, and 5/8 is indeed the fourth continuant of this number. Hope this helps! -- Dominus 20:34, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I stand corrected, then: neither of them is surprising. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sorry, I was mistaken. There is an important sense in which 355/113 is a "surprisingly close" rational approximation to pi that is not shared by 5/8. The next term in the continued fraction expansion of pi is 292, which is unusually large; it's this that accounts for the fact that the next-most-accurate approximation for pi has a six-digit denominator. For 15625/25146, the next term is 1, which isn't unusually large, and so the next best approximation is 8/13. My apologies for overlooking this. -- Dominus 01:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Such an article will hopefully get a nice near-unanimous string of half-a-dozen or so delete votes and not much argument, but it still gets the full five days in AfD.

George Griswold Frelinghuysen[edit]

This seems like a potentially accurate (though uncited) article about an obscure historical figure whose main claim to notability is being a President of the P. Ballantine & Sons Company, whatever that is, and being the son of Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, a former New Jersey Senator and Secretary of State.

Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau[edit]

I move for a deletion, this is a poorly editted plea aiming to promote the plight of the Falun Gong. Wikipedia is NOT a forum for propaganda! If you notice the article is about a specific location of an PRC organization. Why is a specific police station on a specific street within the city of Shijiazhuang is beyond me. The author is trying way too hard to disguise this stub as a legitimate article. The article has no significance whatsoever, it tells nothing except for the names of two police stations! Again, this is tragic if this is verifiable but Wikipedia at this point should not be used as a forum for venting out propaganda. I did some checking, apparently the author, User_talk:Sarcelles has had a history of using publishing pro Falun Gong propaganda disguised as poorly editted stubs. Please refer to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chinese cities, where he was warned for putting up over 100 poorly editted on Chinese stubs which told nothing about the cities but rather about the plight of the Falun Gong. Topics like this can be discussed on the proper forums but NOT Wikipedia, for this same reason mentioned earlier, Wikipedia is NOT a means of publishing propaganda, that is NOT the purpose of Wikipedia. 129.2.237.44

Delete - This article appears to be a vehicle for the last sentence pertaining to a press release by the Bureau against a group which may or may not be Falun Gong related. The link is also of the same nature. Ultimately this appears to be a propaganda piece nestled in an otherwise NN article.

Delete for the reasons already stated, I mean Doc has been able to find information proving that this particular church does in fact exist however he did have to do a lot of digging through various sources. Due to this, I doubt that this particular church has any notability. The article does state that this particular church has done some missionary work in India but I could as well make an article about a small church (church, not demonination) with a localized congragation and put in a line or two about where my particular church has done missionary work but that wouldn't make my church notable. It would be quite a mess for Wikipedia if everyone put in stubs about the particular church they attend.

Mind you, I don't see many people actually searching on U+06DE but at least they'd have the possibility (and that could be mentioned in the Unicode article).

Does this constitutes a systemic bias against things associated to the young people in our society? --Vsion 22:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it has to do with the "unique" factor. Sure elementary schools are important to early development, but they are also a dime a dozen. Most elementary schools don't have anything that makes them special or worthy of an entry. High Schools are fewer and more likely to have something that makes them unique and/or notable.Gateman1997 22:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

After a great deal of researching, I have come to the conclusion that this school does not exist, and the article is a hoax perpetrated by Gateman. The Clovis Unified School District page at http://www.clovisusd.k12.ca.us/site_index.html does not list it, and no searches find it with oceanview or "ocean view". Delete.

- His mission is accomplished, if the school doesn't exist. Are we certain this isn't confused with a school of this name in Oxnard? I assume from reading the link that Clovis is somewhere in Northern California, whereas Oxnard is near Simi Valley. A quick google search shows this school in Oxnard. In any case hoax postings do not make elementary schools any less notable. The nominator claims to have visited the school in question (perhaps a sock/meat puppet of Gateman) but I am perpetually reminded to assume good faith.--Nicodemus75 08:54, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE - This AFD was conducted for the fictional (HOAX) school titled Oceanview Elementary School, Clovis, California. There are numerous documented oceanviews (as said above), and this one was deleted because there is none in Clovis. This AFD does not in anyway apply to Oceanview Elementary School, Albany, California. Although, I see no great harm if it is deleted now, since a new stub can quickly be re-created, and will be. The creator of the hoax article changed the article title, to that of a real school, and edited the article, to put real info, just before the AFD closes, so that a real (not hoax) school is deleted. In any event, a proper article for the real school be made if this one is deleted. --rob 02:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What are you talking about. This article was alwaya referring to Albany, I just was mistaken about the city.Gateman1997 02:57, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - You had a perfectly good chance earlier to claim that. Days ago, you were told there was proof the school didn't exist, and you didn't respond (while you were busy trying to delete other schools). It was obvious people were deleting, including me, because it wasn't real. Read the reasons for the last delete votes. Now, you suddenly come and claim it was a mistake only *after* I cited the hoax example in other AFDs. After AFDing countless elem schools, we're to beleive you suddenly voted to keep an unverified elmentary school. You even said "If it lacks a website I consider that more reason to keep in this case.", but suddenly, at the last minute, you find the web site for the school you meant. Others found the same web site, and rightly assumed it didn't apply. Plus, you changed more than just the title, you also changed other information at the same-time, to fit the real school. Anyway, everybody just needs look at the history of the article creation, information *originally* put in, edit comments, comments in AFD, and they can all make their own decision. It's pretty obvious. --rob 03:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Added: In the switch-over from "clovis" to "albany", other critical piecies of data were changed to match the official web site of the real schoolthis, like going from "K-8" to "K-5", changing the principal, and dropping the mascot.

Manila Waldorf School[edit]

Another frivolously created school stub. No notability established. No information that is useful to an encyclopedia in article. This isn't a phone book. 67.170.236.180 07:37, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless expanded. There is usually a story behind Rudolf Steiner schools yet this entry gives nothing beyond the contact details. I blame the current flood of school stubs, where a Yellow Pages type entry has actually become acceptable. A school doesn't have to have the history of the Jews' Free School to deserve its entry here, but why can't we aspire to the level of Naperville Central High School? I blame Schoolwatch. Pilatus 11:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess it's nice to have a scapegoat, but Schoolwatch is now basically defunct, owing to Tony's conviction that school articles are now being created and surviving the AfD process at such an incredible rate, that even mass deletions will not stop the organic growth of school articles (even primary schools). Frankly, the numbers show he is right - even deletionists will be forced to bend to inevitability. In any event, how can Schoolwatch possibly be to "blame"? Simply because Tony kept track of VfD and AfD for school articles? Schoolwatch isn't the only place that is done, and it isn't as though it is a serious challenge to simply read the daily AfD nominations in order to see which schools have been nominated today. Schoolwatch hardly constituted anything other than a summary of nominations - not some organized secret society to stop AfDs against schools.--Nicodemus75 08:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I strongly disagree with Gene's comments. Notability is precisely what we have encyclopedias for. Without some form of notability/significance test, encyclopedias degenerate into directories. I think of an encyclopedia as "all the stuff that a well-educated person would be familiar with, had he but the time to learn it". Put it another way: Wikipedia should supply you with all the information that a good and learned friend would. You don't expect your good and learned friend to know all the complex details of every subject - for that you go to a university professor - nor do you expect him to be familiar with every school in the world. But you do expect your friend to have heard of schools whose contribution is above average in some way. So Wikipedia should have articles on ( for example ) Groton, Columbine, Eton College in England, and so on, but not on schools ( however worthy ) that don't stand out. Wikipedia has articles on Einstein and Lincoln, but shouldn't list everyone in the world. Maybe when I have broken the world record for the most peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at one sitting I should have my own entry here, but until then I'm non-notable. And so, alas, is my school.

Falls beneath the bar of Wikipedia not being an indiscriminate collection of information. And I've gone to silly lengths googling "Sabrevision", "Jesus TM", etc. to be completely confident. Delete; but perhaps the author would be so generous as to add any additional relevant information and maybe a photo or two from different stages of his life to the article on Joshua's clearly notable grandfather. Samaritan 12:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The ability to Google Jesus TM certainly does not indicate the relevance of a film, as my attempt to google it brought about 2 million hits back. It is obviously difficult to discern the importance or lack thereof of the lesser-known entries, but I think this article should be kept. In the outline for wiki articles, the criteria lists that artists who have sold 5000 cds or more are included, as are people who have written articles read by 5000 or more. Jesus TM, though difficult to google, is certainly a relatively well-known film, and has been seen by more than five thousand people. Likewise Sabrevision. Keep; . Muract 4:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- You clearly have a vested interest in the article. "Jesus TM" brings up about 2,500 hits, not 2 million, and I was unable to find a single hit about a film with Joshua Hellyer in it -- everything I found was either an irrelevant book title in which Jesus was the final word before the trademark symbol, or a joking reference to corporate trademarking of religion. Likewise "SabreVision", which mainly brings up references to an airline reservation system; I could not find one single solitary hit for a television show hosted by Joshua Hellyer. Proof by "because I said so" is not valid; you need to provide sources to back up your claims. Also, I note that this was your first-ever edit to Wikipedia under this user name; you need to be aware that such votes are normally disregarded. Bearcat 22:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I wasn't aware that making an informed comment on a topic on which I am knowledgeable is against Wikipedia policy. You may therefore disregard my vote if you would like. The two million number is searching for Jesus TM without quotes. The reason for this is because the actual title of the film has the trademark in superscript beside the Jesus, and therefore the film could appear under many variations of the name (the film is a satiric view of the media). I think we could agree that Jesus is a word that appears somewhat often on the world wide web. The ability to not find the correct Jesus TM in two million hits seems a poor excuse for deletion. I came across this site while googling Joshua Hellyer, whom I know. I have also seen Jesus TM. The indie film world, especially the short film world, is a world where "because I said so" is often as good as you can get. Short of providing pictures of the many screenings of the film, there's little way to back my claims, but this is the case with most short films that haven't won academy awards. I don't believe that because of this unfortunate reality successful short films, or the actors who appear in them, should be destined for obscurity. Muract 19:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, well, unfortunately, the bottom line on Wikipedia is verifiability of information, meaning that the inability to find an independent reference about the film is a reason for deletion. So far, this article has no verifiable details whatsoever. Googling Joshua Hellyer's name brings up a grand total of 13 hits: five that are either Wikipedia pages or mirrors of Wikipedia pages, two for an American university student, and five for a completely unrelated Joshua Hellyer who lived in Ohio over 200 years ago. I can find exactly one web page referring to this Joshua Hellyer appearing in a film, and that film isn't even Jesus TM. In a nutshell: the onus is on you to provide proof of his notability, not on anyone to provide proof of the obverse. Bearcat 23:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - Here's what I came up with in a few minutes of searching: http://www.yorku.ca/web/about_yorku/yorku_magazine/YorkU_Dec03_FINAL.pdf , which is a magazine that has a page layout about the movie. http://www.yorku.ca/yfile/archive/index.asp?IssueDate=5/9/2003&section=York%20in%20the%20Media, which is a press page for York University. This press page also cites another newspaper article, which I haven't been able to find online. This is a page from a speech that the director, Jordan Hellyer, did, which mentions Jesus TM: http://www.rocknreelfestival.ca/indiefilmseminar.htm. I know that articles about the film appeared in a few other newspapers, which I haven't been able to locate online. Because something is difficult to locate in the digital arena doesn't mean it should be earmarked for deletion. The onus shouldn't be on me to provide proof of it's notability, because it's implicit in the article existing in the first place. Wikipedia isn't a talent contest, it's an encylopedia for things that people might be interested in knowing. Joshua might get deleted because his accomplishments are not famous, but I could randomly search for any combination of names on Wikipedia and find people that I've never heard of. I don't try and have those people deleted because I cannot verify their accomplishments. The hit that you mentioned for a new film that Joshua is in would re-enforce my argument. Regardless of the descision made about this article, I wanted the perspective of someone who is knowledgable about the topic to be heard. Muract 00:32, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith[edit]

I am at a loss with what to do with these kind of articles. Nobody with an academic background in archaeology has read these books and so there are no peer-reviewed journal articles stating why this man is wrong. I have looked. This is because no archaeologists take the man seriously. NPOVing this necessitates having a deeper knowledge of the subject than any current wikipedian I have encountered. Please read this article and suggest what to do. adamsan 23:10, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

First off, the above information is wrong. Vic Edelbrock began his business by building automotive parts, the first of which was a manifold for a '32 Ford Roadster. Secondly, The main reason I created this entry is that there was a request for it on the Smokey Yunick page in the form of red hyptertext. I find it fascinating that there exists a Wikipedia article for Marey Carey, the porn actress who ran for governer of California, but one on a man who is partially credited for being the father of the automtive performance industry is considered vanity.

- While I agree that a moderately sized company's president isn't notable just for that reason, I believe that my earlier comments are valid and sufficient grounds for keeping and expanding.

  - EXPANDED to explain significance somewhat, applying "sofixit" to myself. Still needs fleshing out, but less stubby and much less no-assertion-of-notability than before. The company's article still needs fleshing out. For a good historical source, search Stock Car Racing Magazine back articles from the 1980s for this name. I remember at least one article that was part company description and part bio of Vic Sr. and Vic Jr. If that magazine's archives aren't online, a good knowledgable source would be Dr. Dick Berggren, who was editor-in-chief for SCR then and publishes Speedway Illustrated now.

Vic Edelbrock, Jr.[edit]

The current head of Edelbrock bike parts. I have no problem with an entry on the company but an extra entry on the person who is running the enterprise at the moment is vanity. Hey, he isn't Carly Fiorina. Pilatus 11:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the above information is wrong. Vic Edelbrock, Jr. heads a company which primarily manufactures automotive parts. Vic is a little bit more than a man who is running the enterprise at the moment. He has been president of the company for over 40 years and is the son of the founder, Vic Edelbrock. I'm sorry more hasn't been written yet, but I thought I would start the article and be given a chance to write more before my article was speedy deleted.

Redirect. The question is not so much whether he wrote something. The question is whether anyone has written something about him. That's what's required for encyclopediability; always remember WP:V, WP:RS, WP:N, WP:NOR. If you're going to write an article about someone, something, some school, some concept, some discipline, some subject, you need independent, reputable sources on it before you can write that article (unless you want to break WP:NOR). If there is no material on the subject, you cannot have the school, thing, person, in the encyclopedia. If there is material on the person's book, then write an article about the book, not the person.—encephalon ὲγκέφαλον 00:59, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The book is notable, David Diamond isn't. There's nothing about David Diamond that would lead to greater understanding of the book, so expansion is pointless, even if it is possible. Quale 22:05, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. allmusic has a decent bio on them. Maybe the article was in bad shape, but the subject appears to be notable. Friday (talk) 15:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
In response to Kertrats - i think the band does meet the requirements for notability; they have toured, they have released 2 full length albums. 1 of these was released on Jive Electro and extremely well known (in electronic music circles) label that is also home to Groove Armada and has released records by Tribe Called Quest and Stone Roses. The electro scene is a small one - i don't think that the popularity of a genre should dictate if it can or can't be included on Wikipedia. - thanks --MJW 15:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC "2 full length albums" criteria that they must both be on a major label or a prominent indie label - Only 1 of their albums meet this criteria. However, If I'm not mistakent DGP did embark on a world tour and play extensively in Europe, which would satisfy WP:MUSIC. I'll try to find sources to post a little later (and will vote then). I'll go the extra mile to research a band from the D.--Isotope23 16:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup--there is very much salvagable content. For example, we learn the names and release dates of the band's two albums, and the fact that they toured extensively, all from the article alone. Sure, the writing isn't up to snuff, but this is no reason to remove useful facts. Meelar (talk) 02:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ok I'll have one last try to convince you all. This is the first article i have written, yes it could do with being better written but i thought part the aim here was to write what you can when you can and then come back and expand on it later - I do think i have recorded some note worthy facts in the article. As regards how notable they are, i think it needs to be kept in mind that electro is not a large genre and that the importance of an act should not be based on how many records they sell. There are loads of entries on Wikipedia for british 70's punk bands that only ever released a handfull of singles and one album on small lables but they are still notable as is an electro act such as DGP who are well known within their genre. Down to specifics both their albums are on well known lables, Poker Flat is a well known european independent label run by Steve Bug, they have been going for over 7 years and have released over 70 odd records. regarding touring and mentions in the press you may like to look here Electroinc PM who are their booking agent in Europe, also of note on this page is the following line "Since then, he / they've been mentioned in URB's next 100, Rolling Stone's 'Top Ten To Watch In 2001,' scored a pop hit in a number of countries and an underground classic worldwide." - thats the end of the 3rd paragraph. Lastly thier big hit "Sandwiches" has been relased on loads of different compilations world wide some of these comps have been released on major labels such as BMG, EMI and Universal check here Discogs for details. Obviously i would like to add this new info to my article but i'll wait and see if it gets to stay first. Thanks for reading --MJW 11:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Ariss[edit]

I placed a speedy tag on this substub with 609 google hits, but someone removed it on the grounds that it is "not really a CSD, seems like a reasonably notable artist". Well, what do we learn from the article?

He was born.
He died.
He was an American artist.
He illustrated something in 1962.

Keep after a little research, he appears to have been quite influential in Monterey, with streets and theatres and such named after him. In addition, he has numerous murals there, at least some of which were WPA projects in the 1930s. Also some illustration work in published books. Notable enough.

Johnny Rogers[edit]

I placed a speedy tag on this, but someone removed it on the grounds that "0 google hits does not a speedy make - notability is asserted in the article (aren't broadcasters notable?). This isn't blatant advertising, either. It does desperately need verification though.".

While I see the reasoning, the article looks like an attempt to get listeners to his show. Also the only important links in this article (the radio stations on which he has worked) are red, something which doesn't help him in this case. Are all broadcasters really notable? Delete. Punkmorten 14:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as nn-bio. Tagged as such. Friday (talk) 15:42, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Speedy and shudder at the thought of setting an "all broadcasters are notable" precedent. Just imagine: everyone who's ever done local radio or television, anywhere in the world, for any length of time, gets an article? Besides, if that's true, I should have an article by now. I think not. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but don't speedy. I undeleted this after it was speedied before, because it doesn't seem to me that it meets the criteria for speedy deleteion - it does, after all, assert the notability of its subject. Whether the subject is in fact notable is a topic which deserves discussion, and an AfD discussion is one way to do that. Speedying it sets a bad precedent in my opinion, as articles which do assert notability but one or two people feel aren't actually notable should not be deleted on sight. Lupin|talk|popups 16:33, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- This is not strictly true. Imagine an article on X that said "X was a Prime Minister of Canada." No other info. Lets say you have no quick way of determining whether it is true or false (google not working). Will you put a speedy tag on it? Some professions are of sufficient importance and historical significance such that even the mere act of saying he was a member of the "prime-ministerial profession of Canada," if you will, is sufficient assertion of notability that A7 cannot apply. Likewise for, say, astronauts. But most professions do not have that characteristic. "X is an accountant", ...doctor, ...scientist, ...lawyer, ...porn actress — these all do not constitute assertions of notability. (It does not mean they can't have articles, but it does mean they must have done or become notable in some way that enough was written about them to satisfy WP:V, WP:N, WP:NOR, WP:RS). So the question is, where (and how) do you draw the line?—encephalonὲγκέφαλον 01:20, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I disagree. Being the prime minister, president, etc isn't a profession, it's a position within the larger profession of politics . Though obviously, prime ministers are notable, the consensus is very strong that simply belonging to a profession isn't a claim of notability. Even the in classic notable profession, astronaut, this holds true: astronauts aren't notable just for putting on a space suit and being associated with a space program, they're notable for what they do: i.e. going into space. In other words, notability is not being part of a profession, but accomplishments within that profession. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not much information to build on. Abstrakt
Delete Unverifiable, and while tragic if true, Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine. Author should write good and Wikipedia:NPOV articles on political prisoners, religous prisoners, etc., and oganizations around the world which help them, etc., rather than incoherent pleas to help one person whose case is not even adequately or verifiably described. Only very rarely would a single prisoner deserve an individual article, I think. Someone like Nelson Mandela, yes. Aung San Suu Kyi, yes. But very few individual political/religious prisoners have real notability.---CH (talk) 08:11, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Being a prisoner is not necessarily notable. 78 unique Google hits but most seem to be from non-mainstream religious blogs and such ("END-TIMES NEWS!!") all of which have plenty of outrage but very little actual info, and nothing from neutral or mainstream news sites as far as I can tell.

Keep. Verifiably award-winning film-maker per Isotope23. Just because it's not Hollywood doesn't make it deletable. Sdedeo 00:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not the fact that this is not a "Hollywood" movie that makes it decidedly not notable; it's the fact that the only information available about it on the web is from the website I've listed, where they are trying to market the film. The awards they cite are extremely minor and many are misnamed or were awarded to the broadcaster of this film (HBO) and not the film itself. Notability is purely a judgement call, but based on the research I've done into Mr. Farrell and his film, there is simply not enough to make qualify him as a person of note. Making a documentary that aired on HBO a few times in the mid 90's before fading into obscurity is not enough in my book to establish one's notability.--Isotope23 04:00, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:¹ articles: Strange cakes, Five-leaf haresbane, Battleaxe chronicles, Delloi, and Littel[edit]

User:¹ (contribs) has created several articles which all look very dubious to me: Strange cakes, Five-leaf haresbane, Battleaxe chronicles, Delloi, and Littel. I can't find any evidence for any of these on Google. The user's other edits, to five other articles (all in the last day) all look suspicious too, but I dont know enough about the subjects to say for sure. Finally, the user page ("I'm script1 and I'm super") screams danger, danger. I think all these edits are a sophisticated hoax that has wasted an hour of my day. sjorford #£@%&$?! 14:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Check out the games mentioned in the infobox. Google them up, especially Fahrenheit, the new one, this isn't Space Station 13, people. I know Fahrenheit has been covered in pretty much every UK games publication, and critically acclaimed. I actually saw this article about a week ago, when I noted down Omikron for merging, but I don't know enough about them to expand past the infobox, and do not have time to research it. - Hahnchen 00:31, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - I agree with Hahnchen. There are many stubs with little or no content. That's no reason to pick on this, that's actually the point of the collaboration of the week. This studio deserves it's own article as much as Atari. — SG 00:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

War time recipies from bare necessities[edit]

Delete Poorly spelt article title, the ISBN number gives no hits, the book gives no hits on google except for WP mirrors, and the supposed author gives no hits on google except for WP mirrors. In short, suspected hoax, and probably unverifiable as it is. Oh, and violates Geogre's rule. (not sure if books can, but...) Sam Vimes 21:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The title is really Wartime Recipes from Bare Necessities, but it only gets three Google hits. See http://www.bookfinder4u.co.uk/book_search/Bare_Necessities.html for a mention of it.

Frances Bean Cobain[edit]

Kurt Cobain's kid isn't notable. -- Phil Welch 21:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Certainly some of the information in the article doesn't appear to be notable, but it's clearly a recognizable name (with almost 100,000 results on Google, this page being the #2 link), and this article serves as a useful reference to anyone looking for actual information on her. See also the September 2004 VfD for this article. Sarge Baldy 21:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No, she hasnt found a cure for cancer or anything like that, but people do search for her and look for information about her. The fact that people want information about her makes her a noteworthy entry, in my view. Furthermore, as she is getting older in years she is getting more and more into the public eye and becoming more involved with the media - see that magazine article - there will be more to add in the future and she will become more noteworthy as time goes on. M A Mason 22:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. Notable based on relationship *and* appearance in press. --rob 23:58, 16 September 2005 (UTC) This is a speedy keep, since it was a bad faith nomination, and the matter has already been settled (which I didn't realize at first). We can't have articles on permanent AFD notice. Also, we have to be free to cite precidents without fear that an article will be deleted in retaliation. The fact the nominator failed to mention their *actual* reasons for the nomination or the prior AFD decision makes the nomination invalid. --rob 04:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The ONLY reason this article has been re-nominated for deletion is because the article for Britney Spear's child was recently nominated, and I made a point in my vote there to reference the fact that this article is still here. The people from that discussion then came here and renominated this one to try and make a point. It has already been voted by the community at large that this page should be kept, and I think this VFD tag should be removed speedily to show users they can't go around bullying users into seeing things their way.

Keep. She has established a degree of notability, and this nomination was based on the debate over keeping an article about Britney Spears' baby. ErikNY 16:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Didi Hill[edit]

Merge and redirect: It is necessary to merge and redirect. As a final note: Do not revert my previous comments please. Didi is a very minor character, one small paragraph isn't quite necessary to have a full page for that. (nomination by 68.47.26.123)

Keep: there's no reason not to have an article on Didi Hill, not when we have articles on every other main character on the show. The reason that I keep deleting the last sentence of the paragraph is that it is nothing but a rumor. Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for rumors. If you insist on inserting that sentence, then you must cite a valid source, not just "my brother worked at FOX".

Honestly, this is not the way to resolve content disputes on Wikipedia. If you feel strongly that your rumor should be in the article, then take it up on the article's Talk page. Abusing the AfD system this way does nothing to further your cause.

For reference, here is the disputed sentence:

It was rumored around the studio that Didi was once a prostitute.

— EagleOne21:19, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki articles are editable and removing fringe rumours is perfectly fine. It's not denial of information, it's denial of baseless accusations. I could spread rumours about, say Britney Spears, but that wouldn't mean it needs to be included in her Wikipedia entry. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:04, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. Amren ^(talk) 00:52, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - only because it serves the purpose of explaining how General BA is V when his g-grandfather was the first. Detail like that would be distracting from General BA article. It also stops people from changing his father to IV, which has happened a couple of times --JimWae 02:23, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That information can be merged. No need to spawn a separate article on a non-notable man who happens to be Benedict Arnold's father. --Revolución (talk) 04:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I merged it. --Revolución (talk) 04:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Of course it can, but the BA article is already filled with too much detail. For me the issue is "Would merging improve the BA article?" not "Does wikipedia have too many articles?" --JimWae 04:15, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well what could you possibly add to the article? There is only "He was Benedict Arnold's father". --Revolución (talk) 04:41, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - your merge is not good--JimWae 04:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Interesting criticism. However, I would like to know what is wrong with it. I do not know much at all about Benedict Arnold, but I tried to make the information fit. If there's something wrong, why don't you fix it? Is there anything notable about the man in this article that you can think of? --Revolución (talk) 04:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - because I have other things to do than fix up everybody else's awkward sentences. Articles do not need to be long--JimWae 04:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh, please. We are not talking about much information here. --Revolución (talk) 05:00, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        If you think length is the only factor important to article quality, you have much to learn. If that is not your thought, your argument is a presumptive attempt to build a straw man. Btw, I have fixed your merge - and that will suffice until another self-appointed guardian of "purity" comes along and takes it out again with the claim that "years should be used instead of Roman numerals"--JimWae 05:09, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        When did I ever say that? I do not care about length, I care about the importance of the subject matter. --Revolución (talk) 05:28, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        You said it here, until you removed it just a few minutes ago [16] [17] --JimWae 06:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Jim, don't be obtuse. It's a one-sentence affair. Anything that short can be merged, and if it doesn't, we'll just have to live without that piece of information. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As I said, it can be merged (and has been, and I even fixed it up), but I find this article useful to retain info after the BA V article gets edited. I see no downside to keeping the article on his father - it is not a peacock page. The person who proposed the deletion has done some slick editing of this discussion --JimWae 02:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - The downside is that we keep an article that can't be expanded with useful, encyclopedic information. How is it helpful to keep a separate article just to note a one-sentence fact that is alreeady mentioned in a more appropriate article? It's just not convincing. / Peter ^Isotalo 15:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Austrian Airlines destinations[edit]

non-encyclopedic Icarus 22:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. — Phil Welch 00:19, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per policy (proposal?) of Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines#Structure that says if airline has more than 10 destinations, list them in a separate article. I think the information itself (the route structure of a major-ish airline) is useful and encyclopedic; the question is where to put it. -- MCB 01:51, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Since we have such pages for 61 other airlines, I see no reason why we shouldn't for Austrian Airlines. - SimonP 02:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ah. I didn't know about the other articles like this when I nominated this one for deletion. Guess I should have scrolled down to see the categories before I jumped to conclusions. Definitely a breach on my part. I still don't agree that an article that's just a huge list of where an airline flies to is encyclopedic, but if it's being accepted elsewhere then this airline shouldn't be treated any differently. Sorry for the hassle, all. Go ahead and close this early if you want to, administrators. Consider my nomination for deletion hereby retracted. --Icarus 04:53, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Could we at least mention it's a break out of the airway article due to size issues to avoid further miisunderstandings? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I wouldn't mind a mass-nomination of the other similar articles. Wikipedia is not a travelguide. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment That's my inclination, too. Anyone who needs to know because they're planning a trip should go to the airline's own website, or contact a travel agent. The only reason I can think of for keeping it is if it was a compromise to keep loooong lists like this off the main article page for each airline, and only then if it was done so larger airlines wouldn't be penalized, in effect, for serving too wide an area, whereas smaller ones could easily fit their handful of destinations in their main article without making it too long. --Icarus 21:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Australians in international prisons[edit]

Being a prisoner in a foreign country is not inherently a claim to notability. The list is unnecessary and had a lot of redlinks that frankly scare me. The prisoners I trimmed it down to seem notable enough but now it's redundant with Category:Australian prisoners and detainees. — Phil Welch 22:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It scares me more that (1) Australians knowingly involve themselves in these situations when there is a real possibility of death if court convicts them & (2) Information about this is not freely available to those contemplating such risks. M.Dutton Cairns Australia

  - If you can note that this is this person's first edit, can I note on the public record that the vast majority of your contributions are in the form of votes for deletion rather than creating or adding to articles? (Not that there's anything wrong with the former so long as it's in moderation) Andjam 03:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:ISNOT an indiscriminate collection of information. -- MCB 01:54, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As with all lists of people this list does not aim to be exhaustive. Like list of Australians, and every other list in Wikipedia, it only lists those notable enough for Wikipedia articles. - SimonP 02:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That's because I removed all the redlinks. The problem is it's now redundant with a category. — Phil Welch 18:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I acknowledge that there has been some vandalism to the page recently in the form of advertising certain web sites, and that should be dealt with. That being said, the majority of arrests mentioned here are noteworthy. They usually relate to drugs or terrorism activity, issues that are (and should be) vigorously debated in public.
Phil argues that many of the people are not noteworthy. I actually see that as a reason why this page should exist: the people are not noteworthy, but their arrests are. For example, Thomas McCosker isn't very noteworthy, but his former jail sentence for sodomy most definitely should be. If Phil's proposal were accepted, then we'd only be able to post an entry about Thomas McCosker, rather than writing an entry in this page about his arrest.
- How about Arrest of Thomas McCosker? You could even have an article Thomas McCosker that says who he is and discusses his arrest. That's perfectly acceptable. — Phil Welch 18:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This page is also useful in providing a summary, so you can see at a glance which countries have a lot of imprisoned Australians.
Finally, if a deletion does occur, should a subcategory be first created for Australians in overseas prisons? Andjam 03:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC) (same author for last four paragraphs)[reply]
- Sure, why not? — Phil Welch 18:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Arbitrary list and utterly useless to us. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:26, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The issue of Australians on overseas prisons is frequently and prominently in the news - how they are treated, what our governement is doing about repatriating them, why they were there. Not all are drug related, some are terrorism related - the two are quite distinct reasons for being imprisoned.--AYArktos 02:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Then I suggest you move the page or create a subsection of whatever article we have on people being imprisoned outside their native country. — Phil Welch 18:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in a form similar to what it was before 8 September. Arrest/conviction of citizens on foreign territory is notable as a group, but each individual person or case may not be. The same would apply for lists of foreigners imprisoned in a country. (same people divided into different lists). Looking at this list it appears that Australians lack self-control with respect to drugs overseas. I don't know if that's a valid interpretation, or a systemic bias in creating the list. I agree that external links to appeals should not be in the article. --Scott Davis ^Talk 03:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This list is more useful than the category. These cases received considerable media coverage. --Vsion 09:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Scott Davis ^Talk 04:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are a lot of remarks that the issue of Australians being imprisoned overseas is notable. Fair enough. Write an article about it. A list of prisoners is not that article. — Phil Welch 18:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added a note clarifying that sometimes it's the arrest that is noteworthy, not the person, and described some of the reasons an arrest can be noteworthy. Do you have suggestions as to what an article about the issue of overseas imprisonments should be like? Andjam 05:56, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Presentism (literary and historical analysis)[edit]

Redundant page (see "Historian's fallacy"), nothing links here (the "presentism" disambig now links to "Historian's fallacy"), Niku 22:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. There was no need to AfD this. — Phil Welch 00:23, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, do not redirect, page not redundant. Presentism and the Historian's fallacy] are very distinct things (despite plenty of apparently wikipedia-propagated information to the contrary.) Presentism: "Thomas Jefferson was evil because he kept slaves." Historian's fallacy: "JFK should not have visited Dallas because that's where he was killed." Sdedeo 00:24, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I divided presentism to create this page because a reader had confused presentism (literary and historical analysis) with presentism (philosophy of time) when they were mentioned on the same page. The original article was solely about presentism (philosophy of time) and someone introduced a short section on presentism (literary and historical analysis) for the purposes of disambiguation. A subsequent reader edited the discussion page asking why St Augustine was relevant to historical interpretation. (ie: both types of presentism are so complex that readers can fail to distinguish between them if they are mentioned together).This means that at least two readers have searched Wikipedia for presentism (literary and historical analysis) and felt sufficiently strongly to edit the text or pass comment. Given that people are looking for presentism (literary and historical analysis) on Wikipedia I would vote to keep. loxley 08:40, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~but rewrite~~. 8 out of the first 10 hits on a google search for Tullyhogue Fort return info that verifies that this is a real place and that it was a (possible) crowning point of the King's of Ulster (the link to the Wikipedia article is one of the two that don't). It is certainly notable enough for an article, although the article we've currently got is not the article we need. I will do my best to get at least a decent stub out of this in the next couple of days. Thryduulf 00:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've completely rewritten the article to be about this history of the site, but I've included a mention of the current concerns as well, but removed the unverifiable pagan stuff. Thryduulf 15:06, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Verifiability is an absolute minimum requirement, not a keep criteria. I just can't see how this is notable. The Kings of Ulster were probably locally important, but that some of them (there were at least a hundred of them) were crowned in this fort isn't terribly impressive. If someone is willing to show how this is unique or representative of culture, politics or architecture in north Ireland, I'm willing to change my vote. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- See History of Ireland, Hugh O'Neill, Flight of the Earls for some more background. The O'Neill family were one of the three most powerful in Ulster, Tullyhogue Fort was probably their most important site, making this one of the most important sites in the history of what is now Northern Ireland. Thryduulf 12:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - The site itself is probably interesting, but it doesn't set it apart from any number of old castle or fort sites that are scattered all over the world. If it's only notable because of the association with the O'Neills, why can't it be merged? / Peter ^Isotalo 16:00, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I disagree with that, I considder all the old castles and forts to be notable enough for their own articles. Its primary notablity is through the O'Neill's, but it is a notable feature in the local area that there are several groups trying to push as more of a tourist destination (most of the current tourist literature I spotted when researching the article basically gave it a sentence or two). Thryduulf 16:58, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ok, I respect your argumentation, but I don't share the opinion about old forts being notable in of themselves. That goes for tourist attractions too, unfortunately. / Peter ^Isotalo 17:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Thryduulf 18:26, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

North Carolina Research Campus[edit]

advertisemet. May be copyvio -- I haven't checked. In any case wikipedia is not a srystal ball, this is a set of images of how a proposed commercial development will look when and if it is built. Delete' DES ^(talk) 23:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Article Author User:Bradspry. This is not a scheduled or expected future event. This is a real event that happened on September 12, 2005. This is not extrapolation, speculation, and "future history". It is happening now. This is not crystal ball. Come to Kannapolis, North Carolina, and see for yourself.
Delete as per nominator. The images are assuredly copyvios, as well. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No vote. May very well be notable. Planned land developments can be notable, see Freedom Tower for one. — Phil Welch 00:27, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Article Author User:Bradspry. I am an employee of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and a citizen of Kannapolis, North Carolina. My university address book entry. I attended the launch event this past Monday September 12, 2005, and was provided a Media Kit. The license I stated was press release photos, which are believed to be fair use under wikipedia. This is an historical event for Kannapolis, the site of the greatest lay-off in North Carolina history, with over 4000 jobs lost in one day. This is documenting history, not an ad.
- Article Author User:Bradspry. Added "Future building" tag to match Freedom Tower legitimacy reasoning.
Keep. I think, given its size, this announced development is a legitimate subject for an article, and this article is not written like an ad for the project. I do think that the number of pictures are excessive, and would be excessive even if the project were up and running. However, that is an edit job, not a reason to delete. -- DS1953 18:55, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A "research campus" doesn't deserve a separate article even if it actually exists. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:41, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Article Author User:Bradspry. A research class campus is the highest order of campuses. Here are a few that you may have heard of: University of California, Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. All three of these have separate articles on Wikipedia.
  - Huh? All the examples you've given are of separate universities that have been around for quite some time. This is just a rather large business complex that hasn't even been built yet and without any sign of being associated with any established university. From what I can tell from the article, it just looks like a rather ordinary office and retail development with some laboratory space for private research companies. Has construction even started? Do they have funding for it? Is there a date for when it's supposed to be completed? / Peter ^Isotalo 12:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - >>>without any sign of being associated with any established university. The very first reference in the article is * Stephen Moore. "UNC system and Dole to create Kannapolis jobs." The Daily Tar Heel. Accessed on 17 September 2005. This is not just a "rather large business complex". This is the University of North Carolina System, whose first participants in the project are the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and more universities to come. Demolition of Cannon Mills, the site of the campus, is well underway. Construction will begin on the Core Lab / Biogenic Fermentation Lab / Dole Lab Building within 90 days. David H. Murdock has provided a billion dollars of funding, and the state legislature is providing millions of dollars of funding. They have stated an aggressive goal of five years for completion of the majority of the campus. Read the references. Brad Spry 23:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - "Read the references"? You're the one who wants it to be an article. Note these things in the article if you want to convince anyone. I don't do people's AfD-homework for them. Now here's the beef:
        It's not built. I would never vote to keep an article on a fairly non-notable construction project of a rather non-notable business complex that hasn't even been built. In this case, construction won't start 'til sometime near Christmas and won't be done for five years. There are thousands of these kinds of construction projects all over the world and I don't want to see all of them turned into articles.
        Non-notable is your opinion, from your obscured view through the ether. This is the largest event in the history of my city. If your life were here, and you were standing here, this would not be a question. Brad Spry 15:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Demolition is a construction phase. Demolition of the Cannon Mills buildings, where the campus will be located, has been underway for a year.
        
        That it's partnering with a few universities doesn't equal it to a university. This is very obviously not even to be considered a campus; they've just named it that way to make it seem more educational than it really is. It's still just a commercial project like many others and I don't know why you're trying to compare this to established universities. / Peter ^Isotalo 08:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        This project wouldn't be possible without the support of the University of North Carolina System. Just a commercial project? Proof of the shallow depth of your research. Brad Spry 15:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't single me out I expect the same treatment to be applied to the following articles:

nn website, according to Google only three (or maybe four) hits that actually refer to this site, and no alexa ranking. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
