John Tennyson[edit]

This is about what seems as a non-notable author. I only found a few pages with this person mentioned on Google. Unless it is notable it should be deleted and possibly added to List of novelists from the United States. --Mason 00:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and list on List of novelists from the United States. Royboycrashfan 00:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don't know anything about Mr. Tennyson. However, where is the logic in deleting this and then adding Mr. Tennyson to List of novelists from the United States? That list clearly states that: "Novelists on this list should be notable in some way, and ideally have a Wikipedia article". If Mr. Tennyson has written published novels, then he probably should have an article and this stub should be expanded. If he hasn't, then this should be deleted and his name should not be added to any lists at wikipedia. -- JJay 00:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Amazon apparently has nothing by him (although there's an musical album by a different John Tennyson), while the references on Google appear to be about a musician.Gjc8 01:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the above evidence. Don't just toss him into a list: if a topic isn't verifiable enough for an article, it's not verifiable enough for a list either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Gjc8's evidence, fails WP:BIO, nothing notable. --Terence Ong 02:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per NN bio and nom. Funnybunny 02:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless anyone can provide any substance to the article. If deleted, then no reason to list. Tyrenius 02:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No assertion of notability. The article just says he's a "writer" - a writer of what? --Hyperbole 04:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per above. SorryGuy 07:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per above. Sheehan (Talk) 07:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The content has just one sentence.--Jusjih 12:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per above, and the first edit said "Under construction". color probe·Talk·Contribs·@ RCP 14:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per AL and nom. RGTraynor 15:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I bet that some guy named John Tennyson who thinks he's a writer made the page.--CountCrazy007 16:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to go wirh Delete as well. Nothing plausible in the Library of Congress catalog (all the choices are too old), and no suggestive Googles for ("John Tennyson" writer Vancouver). -Colin Kimbrell 19:58, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mwaluganje elephant sanctuary[edit]

Non-notable--Zxcvbnm 00:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I didn't really think it through before nominating it, I'll give a better reason next time I nominate something.
  • Keep. Why is non-notable? It is referenced in Shimba Hills National Reserve (I added the link, but the ref was there). Give it a chance to develop. It was only started recently. I have wikified it, added links etc. --Bduke 01:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I have to agree. Why would we want to get rid of an article on an elephant sanctuary? Do we have too many of this type of article? Looks important to me. -- JJay 01:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, could you explain how this is non-notable? Passes various Wikipedia tests. Royboycrashfan 01:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep give it a chance.Bridesmill 01:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep vague nomination text, and it can grow, if you give it a chance. Funnybunny 02:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand, notable. --Terence Ong 02:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, it is notable enough for me. SorryGuy 07:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep seems notable. Sheehan (Talk) 07:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, a notable part of an effort to save a species that is under duress (although I'm not familiar with their exact status in Kenya...) Grandmasterka 09:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diclonius[edit]

Delete

  • Delete someone on irc told me to vote delete so uuuuhhh
  • Delete Unencyclopediac and could exist inside the Elfen Lied page. The Google argument seems pretty weak, wikipedia has an incredibly high page rank thus it is often the first linked page simply because of its structure and how that interacts with PageRank. --ReptileLawyer 05:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak merge into Elfen Lied. Royboycrashfan 00:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete More useless anime bloat; this does not deserve its own article and is probably not notable enough for Wikipedia, period -66.92.130.57 00:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Worthless fancruft. incog 00:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Pointless rubbish and very poorly written at that.--203.109.219.183
  • Delete stupid furry shit
  • Delete Worthless, pointless, bloated, stupid, rubbishy, furry fancruft. Fishhead64 06:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I guess it wouldn't be too wrong to call this fancruft... Sheehan (Talk) 07:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as pedocruft. If an edited-down version would "ruin" the main article in a merge, then perhaps it's bloated NN on the face of it. RGTraynor 15:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's not relevant to anything outside of the anime itself. Merge it into the main article. --UsaSatsui 01:45, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The anon makes many good points, as does UsaSatsui. Google hits =/= notable, per se, and it really isn't the least bit relevant outside of the anime itself, especially at this level of detail. Hince, textbook fancruft. --Calton | Talk 02:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Poorly written fancruft. 204.191.190.187 01:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

  • Keep Verifiable, notable, loads of Google hits. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Tons of esoterica is verifiable. And lots of sites which don't belong in an encyclopedia get tons of Google hits. As for it being 'notable', I really think this deserves explanation. A dissertation on some random aspect of a not particularly popular children's cartoon is not worthy of mention in an encyclopedia. What is the value of this information to anyone other than a fan community that is better served by a website specialized in anime? -66.92.130.57 03:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Merging it would do more harm than good to Elfen Lied - it would dominate the article. Wikipedia is not paper, and Google indicates that this is far more notable than many things Wikipedia has articles on. --Hyperbole 04:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well written, would ruin Elfen Lied on merge. --InShaneee 05:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Merging or deleting would be comparable to merging Tau with Warhammer 40K or deleting it. JimTS 14:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is actually a major part of the anime, it could perhaps be condensed and put into the main article. There's no way we could delete this, however. It also isn't great at its present state, however...--CountCrazy007 18:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It doesn't interest me in the slightest, but it is a good article for those who are interested. Wiki does have the space to cater for all tastes. Tyrenius 20:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't see anything wrong with this; it's a perfectly valid spin-off article. -Colin Kimbrell 20:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A merger would screw up the Elfen Lied article. Pikawil 18:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is very useful. Merging it with the Elfen Lied article would make the article just too long. Breaking it down like this is much better.

List of portable applications[edit]

Keep[edit]

  • Keep. Well documented list, long introduction and annotations. I can't see anything wrong here. -- JJay 00:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep only the definition and external links section. And delete the rest. Jrinaldi 01:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The individual items listed are typically notable enough (which seems a reasonable requirement for inclusion), and this is useful information. Some of the same effect could be obtained by a Category:Portable applications, but not the grouping, and this also leaves the possibility of adding further annotations to the list entries. WP:NOT mentions "Mere collections of internal links, except for ... structured lists". I'd say this is a structured list; see also Wikipedia:List guideline. LambiamTalk 01:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep everything! It is a great list and I really appriciate the resource. No reason that I can find to remove it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.49.30.154 (talk • contribs) 01:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep --Terence Ong 03:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm using NOT too, but that Wikipedia is not paper. This is pretty useful, and I hate lists. T K E 04:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep At least it's a useful list. Fishhead64 06:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, while WP:NOT is generally useful I think we need to go on the spirit here. This is useful and belongs in a encyclopedia of this sort. SorryGuy 07:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this list is useful enough. Sheehan (Talk) 07:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • STRONG Keep I think this is an awesome resource that should be nurtured, not blasted to hell. --Mboverload 08:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep But consider donating the list portion of the page to a site that is better suited for it - for example http://www.portablefreeware.com/. I think these is still a need to capture information about portable app's; particularly with the recent activity around the U3 specification etc.
  • Weak keep, there's more to it than just external links, but the listings which are only external links should either be deleted or beefed up. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I appreciate the position that Wikipedia should not be a link repository, but in some cases (such as this) there are no reliable, up-to-date alternatives elsewhere on the Net that are as comprehensive. If there is room in Wikipedia for obscure comic book characters, then there should be room for a useful resource like this. I'd wager there are more people who need to get Firefox running off a USB drive than those who need to find out the name of all the Star Trek Voyager episodes. --cdjaco 17:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please note the difference between lists of internal links versus lists of external links. AlistairMcMillan 18:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken :), but given the utility of this list and the lack of alternatives on the Net I do not wish to change my vote. --cdjaco 17:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - You guys who have sys-admin status on wikipedia are a bunch of asses. Go get a job. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.131.67.127 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Very useful and relevant to people who actually want to access Wikipedia for information instead of just trying to delete articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.106.244.78 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • very strong keep, with all the stupid lists (IMHO) here on wikipedia, this is certainly one of the more useful for the general populace. Roodog2k 21:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment Hmmm... that came out wrong.... I just think that this is a universally useful lists, unlike many, many, many other lists. Roodog2k 21:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep This is extremely useful information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.180.4.203 (talk • contribs) 05:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, I use this list constantly. It is an amazing list, and hours of hard time have gone towards it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.187.35.222 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • STRONG Keep I love this list, and found it to be a wonderfully useful resource when I need to find portable versions. It makes an excellent starting point for anyone searching for them. It might be nice as a category, but first a lot of work would need to be done to the individual pages that are linked to in order to make that work. Until that amount of work can be done and articles can be created for everything here that does not already have an article, then this page must stay in my opinion. It was even cool enough apparently for it to make the front page of Digg.comAyavaron 02:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep-enjoy the list. Very useful —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.166.250.106 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Indefinite Keep - This is one of the many reasons that I go to wikipedia for over other places for portable applications. Not everyone can find these sites as reliable or simply descriptive as the entries here. Yes Wikipedia isn't supposed to be used as a depository of links but try saying that to every other wiki page here that has those properties. SignalMan17:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete[edit]

Delete because Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links... AlistairMcMillan 00:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, WP:NOT. Royboycrashfan 00:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • With a tiny amount of work, the definition section would be a decent stub. I'm not quite Bold enough to do it while it's still being debated on this page.
  • Weak Delete per WP:NOT a repository of links. It is a useful resource, but far better suited to another site. It is more appropriate on Wikipedia as a category --Hyperbole 04:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Useful, but does not comply with WP:NOT policy, which states that link pages are not allowed. I agree with moving the information to another site, and suggest providing a link out from the "Flash Drive" page to the final destination. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.226.32.16 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Week delete Against the rules BUT a useful set of links. Stevelam01 15:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Bixel[edit]

A puff piece on a non-notable porn star; no reason to include this article on Wikipedia. Harro5 00:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This guy seems to have pretty massive exposure per his IMDB page [1]. Hence, seems to qualify per our many, many articles on porn stars. -- JJay 01:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JJay. Royboycrashfan 01:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JJay. --Terence Ong 03:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per JJay. SorryGuy 07:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JJay. Sheehan (Talk) 08:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if voice actors in relatively unknown Anime shows get wikipedia pages, porn stars do too. --ReptileLawyer 15:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it should be kept, but the article needs cleaning up
  • Copyvio Seems to be largely copy-and-pasted from this. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Not an original copyvio though. Looks like the copyvio section was pasted in with this diff on April 7 [2]. Should be reverted back to the earlier diff. -- JJay 21:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A non-notable entry. The fact that he is listed on IMDB, which other Wikipedians often refer to as a 'vanity site', does not make him notable.--Jslasher 00:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Make Love (song)[edit]

The article is a redudant of an already existing article (Make Love). However, I don't even know if the original is good enough to be considered encyclopedic. It was never a released single and I don't think anymore information can be provided about the song. I don't know if the original should also be considered for deletion.

A Shot in the Arm[edit]

I am also nominating:

Delete - not every song by your favorite band is notable. Perhaps keep the singles, whichever those are, but not every single track by Wilco ever. Wickethewok 18:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete 'em all. You should have tagged them though, even though it's a pain. NTK 18:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom... and have fun tagging!--Isotope23 18:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep singles, and delete or possibly redirect the rest. bikeable (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not all of those are even songs, at least two are albums! Keep singles and albums, delete the rest if they have no substantial content, else merge and redirect to the albums. Also, Candyfloss should redirect to Cotton candy. Muzzle of Bees should redirect to Beard of bees. Reservations should redirect to Reservation. Kamera should redirect to Camera. I hate group nominations, and this is exactly why. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete them all; let God sort 'em out. -AED 20:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the lot. Every single one of these "articles" is the same: foo is a song by the band Wilco, from their album bar. Note to author: if you can't be arsed to even tell us whether it was released as a single, don't be surprised when I can't be arsed to expand your fancruft for you. What you are saying with these articles is "I like Wilco enough to make a copy-and-paste article for every song but not to actually put any effort whatsoever into those articles". Seriously. Just zis Guy you know? 21:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Dylan 23:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete them all. Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.  RasputinAXP  c 23:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete These are pretty much all one-sentence entries which provide little room for expansion. Cosign with RasputinAXP. Danny Lilithborne 01:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep singles, redirect the less notable songs. Royboycrashfan 01:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleteper nom--Zxcvbnm 01:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per JzG. Redirects to various locations may be appropriate afterwords. Melchoir 02:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and reasons above. Funnybunny 02:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect all to the albums they are from. ...Scott5114 03:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all, nn songs. --Terence Ong 03:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Delete per JzG, though redirects to the albums might work. Borderline speedy, as far as I'm concerned. --Calton | Talk 04:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep singles and redirect others, per Roy --Hyperbole 04:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a Wilco fan, I have a sticker on my car. But nuh-uh to all these. Keep per Royboycrashfan. T K E 04:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • As an aside, I'm kinda upset the user didn't include the songs from Being There T K E 04:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh but wait, they did. Someone with the time, could you look at the contributions for User:JeffTweedyIsGod? I'm off to bed, but I figure there's more out there. Wickethewok has notified the user, and they are civil about it. T K E 04:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep singles, redirect others, per Royboycrashfan et alia. Fishhead64 06:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per Just zis Guy you know. We really do not need this sort of thing. SorryGuy 07:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I agree, but Wilco is a Grammy winning group; singles should be kept. No luck falling asleep...sighs. TeKE 07:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC) <~ Hey, new sig![reply]
  • Speedy Delete the whole cacophonous lot of them; there is no assertion of notability on any. If the original author wants to assert that any particular track entry is notable -- winning a major award in its own right -- then that's different. RGTraynor 15:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all, nn. Sheehan (Talk) 08:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. --Tone 10:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the lot per nom. --Arnzy (Talk) 15:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anry Nemo, Blackeri, Bri-chan, Daniel Conway, Pu-sama, and Ssilence[edit]

Non-notable artists. These are the remaining artist articles from Category:DeviantART whose notability is confined to similar websites, after Suzi9mm was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suzi9mm. None of the six makes any claim to notability beyond deviantART or occasionally GFXartist, and they are all built around deep external links. Wikipedia is not a website indexing service. Melchoir 01:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep with respect to Anry Nemo - he seems like a borderline notable artist outside DeviantART. 240 unique Google hits, 52 unique Google Images, and it looks likely that there is plenty more information on him in Russian. Relist individually with respect to the others - I don't think these are clear-cut enough cases to give a blanket answer to all of them. I will suggest, though, that we move and redirect each of these articles to the name, not the handle, of the artist. --Hyperbole 04:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • 240 isn't much for someone with an internet presence, and it pales in comparison to Suzi9mm, which went down without too much fuss. More importantly, I didn't see any reliable sources, and the Russian thing is interesting but doesn't help the verifiability problem that's a big part of non-notability. All that said, I will relist the individual articles as you ask: maybe not in the next few minutes, but I'll get around to it. I just didn't expect much opposition, and I wanted to save myself the work. Finally, if you want to err on the inclusionist side, we should keep the articles where they are, since their handles are much more popular than their real names. Melchoir 05:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep with two references. The article has greatly improved since the prod. Melchoir 04:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Melchoir - well sourced, and has a claim to notability. Of course, I have my doubts about that claim - the *first* porn site to feature a webcam? Really? But even giving it a little latitude and assuming it's among the first, I think that's adequate criterea for notability. --Hyperbole 05:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; the user, by some twist of fate named Venuscam, has posted the link to the commercial website on numerous articles. This is obviously spam, and the only thing this article does is validate it. Sfacets 05:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Nakkidnerds.com had a webcam at inception in 1997 (and by no means claimed to be the first commercial porn site to do so), but contrary to assertions, Wayback Machine doesn't verify any extant webpages for Landofvenus.com earlier than November of 1998. If we're going to declare an article notable on the mere assertion by the author that it is, we ought to at least take the trouble to verify the truth of the claim. RGTraynor 15:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the original author and no I do not work for the website, this is my defense on my page and reason for what I wrote. I did not say she was the first to use a webcam, I said streaming video AND audio as a webcam, You have to read what is written and not what you want it to say. The first company to make a program that broadcast streaming audio was Ultravid. Landofvenus was a beta tester for it and at the time, was the only one using it. In 1997 there were several sites that had webcams, some even tried to emulate streaming video by using webcam32, but as far as I know, and by doing research, she was the first one to use streaming video and audio as a webcam. At the time, there were only 2 companies (to my knowledge) that made streaming video software, one was ultravid, the other was emulive, which landofvenus is on the cover of their product of as a beta tester also. If you KNOW of someone else who used streaming video and audio prior to april 1997 then state who they are, but just because you do not know of anyone else does not mean you can just say its false. I cannot verify most of what I read on most of these pages, but that does not give me the right to say they are wrong. If we go by the standard which you all are trying to use, then most of these pages will have to be placed up for review for deletion. --Venuscam 0900, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as a non-notable bio. The group is barely on the edge of probably-not notable, the leader of the group is certainly not notable for his role in it, for the purposes of the enycylopedia. I already speedied this once, but I don't like to do such things twiceMak (talk) 05:10, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this is justifiable. I am currently in the process of using Wikipedia as a means of producing an image of Laurentian University as a highly credible intellectual institution. It is my theory that if students can see how their university is reflected on the internet, it will stimulate them to become more participatory. So, by putting up my own article is not for the purpose to stroke my own ego, but to allow for students at Laurentian to feel a sense of legitimacy; which I think a valid consideration. To further improve the image of Laurentian University on Wikipedia, I have taken the liberty of the creation of the article on our President, Dr. Judith Woodsworth; as well, I have created entries on Dr. Rand Dyck; and, I have also created an article to focus credibility towards Huntington University, one of Laurentian's federated colleges. All of this is in an effort to legitimise Laurentian University, and to show solidarity, and a sense of community. kroche14
    • Comment There's a big difference. Dr. Woodsworth, a university president, is notable. You are not a university president. Fan1967 05:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the article: I am well aware of the absurdity in this situation. But again, this is a process. Shift happens, and, I firmly hold the view that by continuing to feature different people from the Laurentian University community on Wikipedia, that a greater sense of community within the city of Sudbury will be created. kroche14

  • Perhaps you're unclear as to what Wikipedia is, Mr. Roche. It's not an indiscriminate blog or bulletin board, but a private encyclopedia with rules to assure that articles meet a minimum standard of notability; I strongly recommend you look at WP:BIO for those guidelines applicable to this situation, under which you not only fail to be notable, but do so in spectacular fashion. That being said, what Wikipedia is likewise not about is as a feelgood vehicle for residents of the city of Sudbury or your university. Speedy Delete per nom.

  • Response: Yes, you may be correct that Wikipedia is not "a feelgood vehicle for residents of the city of Sudbury or your university" but.... ideally it could be.kroche14
Comment No ideally it won't be. Wikipedia is not a free for all or for general webhosting. It is an encyclopedia. Please read WP:NOT and WP:N and then if you still think this article should stay pursuant to those pages, get back to us. JoshuaZ 19:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Despite the vanity of this particular article, the quality of this author's work on Judith Woodsworth suggests to me that he would be valuable to Wikipedia as a contibutor on an ongoing basis. Fan1967 19:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly a solid article about a notable subject, well-written and sourced, and I commend the person who penned it -- it's a word-for-word copyvio from the president's bio on the Laurentian University website. [4] That being said, I've also listed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LUPSA Presidents as being even more of a vanity article than Roche's original one; this isn't merely an article about himself, it's an article about the presidency of the political science club he holds. RGTraynor 20:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops. Silly me. I just assumed he had written it. Pretty blatant copy, too. Fan1967 20:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete as vanity. Comment: In the spirit of not biting the newcomers, there could be a place of some of kroche14's material, just bear in mind that it will be cut down to verifiable encyclopedic content, not advertising or self-promotion. Peter Grey 20:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Ivy Show[edit]

Delete - Show isn't in producton yet, the external link is to a one page website, looks like adcruft. "The Ivy Show" gets 120 hits on google, but even then, 5 are for wikipedia, some are for an equestrian event, and others still are for a stage show consisting of Ivy League comedians. So trying a search of "The Ivy Show" and Iacono (the "star" of the upcoming sitcom), yields a grand total of 6, all but one on wikipedia, the last on tools.wikimedia.de. In addition, the related articles (Steve paskay, Edward Meyer, Jill Kimmel, Ivy Iacono, Horrorween, Chuck Lamb, Antonio Gonzalez, Jr.), also made by the same editor(s) could probably also be candidates for deletion, but I'll let someone with more patience than me scroll through those and list them if they want.

Pulling a Scotty[edit]

Non-notable neologism. Was prodded when called "Pulling a Scottie, but tag pulled with the comment character name is "Scotty" and you get many more links if you search for "Pulling a Scotty". True: 3,650 for "Pulling a Scotty". 'But, if you exclude "NASA" and "captainsquartersblog" (the two refs given), you discover 162 hits: meaning almost all its Google hits stem from two sources. Calton | Talk 05:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I pulled the Prod and renamed it; It's notable in real life and is anything but new... I first heard it in the late 80s in high school. I've heard it on a continuing basis (albeit not every day) throughout the aerospace industry. Lack of google hits is not proof positive that something isn't notable. It's a good hint, but can't be relied on as the only criterion. Georgewilliamherbert 05:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • You ought to know as well as as anyone else that "because I said so" doesn't cut it as a reference. If it's as common as you say it is, then logically it should haved leaked into Google, or are aerospace engineers keeping it a secret? Maybe it's not as common as you think. --Calton | Talk 02:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • There is plenty of stuff which Google verifyably underrepresents. There are whole professional fields that barely show up in it. Yes, "because I said so" isn't valid as a verifyable reference. I didn't say it was, and didn't put myself in the article as a reference. "it's not in Google" is equally invalid in the other direction. Huge google counts are usually valid positive verifyability; low Google counts are a no-test. Georgewilliamherbert 02:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • That was a whole lot of words saying nothing much. Yes, "because I said so was used as a reference on this page, and your convuluted rationale about Google doesn't rise to the level of argument, merely being a collection of assertions: that "plenty of stuff" is "verifiably" underrepresented by Google, with the (assumed) conclusion that it applies in this case, along with the associated claims that low Google counts are a "no-test". You have NOT given the slightest nod in the direction of explaining why such an allegedly common phrase doesn't show up in Google other than vague handwaving about the assumed unreliability of Google, so, in short, it still boils down to "because I said so." --Calton | Talk 06:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • You failed to distinguish AfD comments from WP verifyability of references; AfD discussions do not have to meet article reference criteria, and never have. Notability can be numerically quantified, but usually is not as the research would take far too much time or be too difficult. AfD is a fuzzy logic popularity contest, in which people's personal experiences are perfectly valid input. If you intend to assert that notability has to be referenced as verifyably as article facts, then I respectfully suggest that WP editor and administrator consensus greatly disagrees. Georgewilliamherbert 07:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
            • AfD is a fuzzy logic popularity contest, in which people's personal experiences are perfectly valid input. No, it isn't, it's a discussion about whether an article meets Wikipedia standard for inclusion, which is dependent on little things like verifiablity and notability. In other words, pretty much the same standards for writing the damned article in the first place, so no, I'm not failing distinguish anything, since there's little difference TO distinguish.
            • So instead of wikilawyering -- and constantly misspelling "verifiability" -- maybe you ought to provide the tiniest bit of verification for all the claims you've been making. Start somewhere: skip all of the handwaving and offer some tiniest shred of evidence of any of the following:
              • 1) "Plenty of stuff". Name three. Explain why they are "underrepresented". Explain, come to think of it, what "underrepresented" means and how something can be "verifyably [sic] underrepresented."
              • 2) Explain how your examples of "verifyably [sic] underrepresented" relate to or are analogous to the subject being discussed.
              • 3) Offer an actual hypothesis of why "pulling a Scotty" has a low Google count. Hint: "Google is unreliable" isn't an actual hypothesis unless you answer points 1 and 2, above.
              • 4) Offer alternative verification of the popularity of the phrase. Hint: "Because I said so"? Still not acceptable.
            • This is NOT rocket science. This is done here ALL the time, and attempts to dodge questions are usually viewed skeptically.
            • P.S: If "personal experience" is acceptable, I'll note that I've never heard the term in the sense you claim: this makes THREE people so far to your one. That sword cuts both ways. --Calton | Talk 08:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
              • Without peeking: have you heard of the term Metacentric height? Have any of the other editors commenting here? Does your lack of having heard it before mean that the article should be removed?
              • Lack of positive evidence from some set of people is not proof of negative evidence. It's one thing to argue that something isn't notable because it's poorly referenced online and only one person here has heard of it. What you're actually saying here now is much more clearly wikilawyering than anything i've said. And spelling flames are lame.
              • I believe that there's actually sufficient consensus enough for someone to boldly merge and redirect the article, at this point. This discussion has become ridiculous. Georgewilliamherbert 19:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Montgomery Scott. I don't think it justifies its own article. --Hyperbole 07:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yi Sun[edit]

  • Delete. Being smarter than me isn't grounds for an article on wikipedia. Tomb Ride My Talk 06:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your time, and a response to both: first, with regard to the rules on notability, I think this article qualifies in one important respect: it mentions amateur sports (and indeed, amateur sports players are fairly well represented on wikipedia). Now, calling high school math and science competitions "sports" might seem a bit of a stretch, but I can assure you that there is a significant culture (by a conservative estimate, upwards of 50,000 students each year) that considers them to be just this. Sure, we can't include every minor bit player in these kinds of competitions (like we would with the NBA), but considering that he is a dominant figure for this year (certainly in the top 5 overall, and best overall by most measures), I think it is reasonable to have an article about the best competitor from the class of 2006 in this enormous field.

And yes, I think the label of unprecedented is generally thrown around too sloppily. However, many of these competitions haven't been around for very long, and I can say that qualifying for 4 math/science olympiad camps (and all 5 olympiads, although that is not mentioned in the article) is in fact unprecendented. slightlyconfused1 06:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

edit conflict Comment this article would fare far better if it had sources for such assertions. In fact, if you could find some news coverage for these competitions it would be great. Mak (talk) 06:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to mention that there is precedent for this: Tiankai Liu was placed on wikipedia (and has had a page for some time) with accomplishments of similar overall magnitude. slightlyconfused1 06:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit too tired to come up with a huge array of references at this point, but (to answer your request at least slightly), I'll note that searching for "Yi Sun" right now on google news provides 107 hits, basically all of which seem to refer to him (this is mainly with the STS contest, which is most recent and preeminent). slightlyconfused1 06:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It's something to be proud of, but winning high school level competitions just isn't very notable. Heck, I won one, and I'm not on here. --UsaSatsui 02:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Answering Saforrest's comment, I'd refer again to the page on Tiankai Liu, which has been around for some time and was created at a time when he had individual accomplishments of similar magnitude. More currently, however, there is the article on Michael Viscardi, a current high school senior whose only "claim to fame" is in science and math contests, and who isn't as accomplished as Yi Sun.

EivindFOyangen, yes, the definition of "Gold Medal" is very different in math/science international olympiads from its meaning in the conventional olympics: it is set to be given to a specific fraction (although a small one) of the international competitors, who are already a fairly select group. And it's important to remember that he isn't notable merely because he won an International Physics Olympiad gold medal - it's because, first, he did it as a sophomore (which hasn't happened in the recent history of the US team, and possibly never), and more importantly, because he has been at the top in so many other competitions.

UsaSatsui, I'm not sure what you won in high school level competitions, but I think the basic principle here should be this: this general "area" is certainly not notable for us to start creating hundreds (or even dozens) of bio articles on its best students. However, I think that it is entirely reasonable to create articles on the *one* or *two* best individuals each year. And if we're willing to do that, this definitely qualifies.

Note: by "best individuals" I implicitly mean "best individuals in English-speaking countries." While there can certainly be articles on extremely, extremely accomplished individuals from across the world, there can't possibly be an "equal standard" of notability on English wikipedia - there are plenty of articles on Congressmen in America, MPs in Britain, etc., but there aren't nearly as many on, say, Duma members in Russia. slightlyconfused1 04:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yet, this is high school, and unless either the competition itself is highly notable (it's not), or they're going around winning dozens of these things (the article mentions only three), it doesn't strike me as notable. There are hundreds of these competitions in the United States alone. As someone else said, this person will most likely be notable someday, but that day is not today...and think about it, when they are notable, these accomplishments probably won't even be mentioned. --UsaSatsui 10:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, there are "hundreds" of math and science high school competitions. But things like the Intel STS (which has delivered millions of dollars in prizes in its lifetime, receives extensive news coverage, etc.) are certainly at a level entirely different from random local contests. Using this logic to establish that his accomplishments aren't notable is roughly analogous to saying that an NBA championship isn't notable because there are thousands of rec league games taking place.

My reasoning has two distinct (and equally important) steps. First, I think that math and science competitions in high school are notable enough that the dominant *one* or *two* performers (across the full spectrum of contests) at any given time merit wikipedia articles. Second, I'm asserting that Yi Sun is, in fact, the dominant competitor in this year. I'd be interested in knowing where disagreements with this inclusion lie: is it the first or the second? Does this area so completely lack any notability that the dominant performer for a year doesn't merit inclusion? Or is he not, in fact, the dominant performer? I think that once we clear this up, we can get at the heart of the disagreement. slightlyconfused1 05:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • OK, I did a little research. The article states that it was originally based on material from the 1728 Cyclopaedia, but it seems it did not make use of all the relevant material from that source. The Cyclopaedia's entry, which I assume you have all read by now, has the note "See COURIER, and POST," which seems to have been ignored. These entries are vital to understanding the context of "Couriers who travel'd on Horseback, or in Chariots." Our article would be much improved by incorporating that information, as well as other sources on the historic role of postal dispatch messengers. (Wikipedia has some broad information on this topic already, but here we want to focus particularly on the role of the anabasii.) Mention should also be made of the four classes of couriers traditionally distinguished in antiquity, two of which are covered by "anabasii." The Cyclopaedia entries: Anabasii, Courier, and Post. The Cyclopaedia is only a starting point, but it should be obvious that our article as it stands has not even exhausted that starting point yet. So, no, this is not an article with no possibility of expansion. Does that answer your question? Jimpartame 10:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • A minor correction: since the Post entry is split up over two pages, this part is relevant too. It's where the four kinds of couriers are mentioned. By the way, the Cyclopaedia's stated source on that is a treatise by Louis Hornigk, but the title isn't given. Does anyone here know what that treatise was called? If this article doesn't get deleted, it would be worth looking into that. Jimpartame 10:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are X and I claim my five pounds[edit]

Wikipedia is not a repository for articles about relatively infrequent internet snowclones occurring occaisionally on usenet. Basically, non-notable neo-phrasism, and this sort of thing is the gateway article to a mountain of new articles, with variables in their names. Maybe if the article were about the original phrase, with a note that it has spawned many snowclone usages, but for crying out loud, Wikipedia is not your clubhouse. TerrorIsland 07:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into List of snowclones. Doesn't seem notable enough on its own to merit an article. --Hyperbole 07:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the phrase is used widely throughout British culture, and needs explanation. N.b. user's only "contributions" to Wikipedia are to flag three articles for deletion. --ajn (talk) 07:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't realize Ad Hominem Attacks were a legitmate portion of discussion. Might I ask what bearing my contribution history has on whether or not this very article is in any way notable enough to be its own article? The google search on "You are * and I claim my five pounds" gets a paltry 614 hits. not that that's definitive proof, but for comparison, "I for one welcome our new * overlords" gets 113,000 hits. And it doesn't have its own page.TerrorIsland 12:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment: Ad hominem attacks are not acceptable here (see WP:NPA), but the Wikipedia:Deletion policy says that arguments/votes from new users may be given less weight or no weight. Some deletion debates prompt a flood of votes from people who are interested in the topic but who don't know Wikipedia policies and disregard them in voting. When your only contributions are delete tags, rather than editing researched facts and citations into articles, it's reasonable to note this. Barno 13:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Hi: I'm a new user here myself. I found this discussion because I was voting at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anabasii, which is from the same guy. I didn't realize that arguments and votes from new users don't count. Does that mean I shouldn't have bothered voting to keep the anabasii article (and probably this one, since it looks good to me)? I thought new users were allowed to participate everywhere on Wikipedia. Jimpartame 14:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Sorry, I think I messed up the threading on these comments. Jimpartame 14:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • The part about them being deletions, then, is irrelevant. It is about my new-ness as a user. So, really, the comment should have been, "User is new, disregard his comments without considering them on their merits"? is that official wikipolicy? TerrorIsland 14:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • It is not exactly like that. There is no official Wikipedia policy to ignore votes from new users. What is meant here is a guideline to give less weight to votes from new users, with little or no actual reasoning or explanation. Your comments on this AfD debate are well-written and reasonable. Therefore I don't think they will be automatically ignored just because you're new. What the guideline is meant for is to ignore votes that only consist of "Don't delete! This is a cool phrase!", and to ignore votes that appear to have been written by the same person with multiple user accounts. JIP | Talk 14:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
            • Comment: JIP is correct. We don't treat new users' contributions here as zero-value. I apologize if my note explaining ajm's posting made TerrorIsland or Jiumpartame think otherwise. If you have facts that are relevant under WP policies, please do tell us those facts and cite sources where they can be verified. If you are merely making assertions without factual backing or ones that don't help determine whether the article meets Wikipedia policies, the administrator who closes the AfD debate will usually give less weight to a new user's words (if apparently well-intended), or give no weight to it (if suspected of being intended for self-promotion or feuding or otherwise not to improve the encyclopedia). Remember also that AfD is a discussion seeking consensus, not a vote. Barno 22:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
              • Reply If this is really a forum for discussion, I am surprised at the number of people who indicated their position as a vote, rather than trying to discuss the matter. Very few people have responded to my contention that a catchphrase, even if popular in variation (like a snow clone) gets an article for the phrase itself, not the template with a variable in it. I don't understand why, if this isn't just voting, very few people are discussing the things I said, and instead list a vote followed by some positive feature, like, "notable". TerrorIsland 22:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I think you're confusing ad hominem and personal attack. A reply can be ad hominem without seeming like a vicious personal attack. Any response to a challenge that weighs the qualities of the person levying the charge instead of the merits of the charge itself is an argument ad hominem (against the man) rather than against the claim itself. TerrorIsland 14:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, historical phenomenon as well as usenet stuff, and the article links to Lobby Lud which gives more detail on the origin. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 11:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fine, merge and redirect to Lobby Lud. Alba 12:10, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are a deletionist and I claim my five euros. Keep, this is a notable phrase. I had seen it in many places before, but this Wikipedia article was the first place where I found out where it originally came from. JIP | Talk 13:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • As long as we can call me a name before deciding to keep the article, I suppose all is well. I am not a deletionist, unless by that you mean someone who thinks that there are some articles which should be deleted. Because then, sure I am. Phrases of that form get 614 google hits. Can anyone tell me where all of theses uses are that mysteriosly don't come up on google searches? Also, why is this article about the phrasal template and not about the origin phrase, which is how all other snowclones are listed?TerrorIsland 13:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have struck out my comment as it was not serious, I just wanted a chance to use this phrase. Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I was a huge fan of Amiga computers and games. I read many British Amiga magazines regularly, and thus became more familiar with British culture than most Finns of my age. I noticed that several magazines contained this phrase, but I had no idea what it meant or where it had come from. Then I found it on Wikipedia and it explained it to me. These mentions obviously do not show up on Google as it does not yet search through printed material. So that explains why I think it is notable. JIP | Talk 14:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Doesn't it seem odd to you that most catchphrase articles are about the original catchphrase, rather than having a variable in their name? Shouldn't the article actually be "You Are Lobby Lud and I claim my five pounds?" Or merged in to the Lobby Lud, article at least? I still think its not notable enough, but I am confused why people who do think the content is notable enough think the article should be kept rather than merged, moved or redirected. Also, I apologize for misinterpreting the tone of your initial vote. Sometimes its hard to tell when people are kidding on the internet. TerrorIsland 14:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it is well-known and I like the link to Lobby Lud. The whole thing was parodied in the otherwise rather-stodgy Agatha Christie's Poirot TV series. Carlossuarez46 18:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Notable expression. --Billpg 19:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The expression in the title is not notable. In fact, it is either not a complete expression, or it accuses someone of being the letter 'X'. I think you mean the expression "You are Lobby Lud and I claim my five pounds" is notable. Perhaps you then think the article should be moved to either the main Lobby Lud article or to the actually famous phrase? TerrorIsland 22:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The X is a placeholder, replaced with the person, organisation, etc being compared against. If the presence of the X is objectionable, I would have no objection to renaming this to "And I claim my five pounds". --Billpg 01:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's not like I'm confused about what the "X" is supposed to be doing. I'm saying that its not how we have this sort of article named, usually. TerrorIsland 02:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'd be happy to discuss renaming if this article survives deletion, but for now, my vote remains. --Billpg 13:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unverifiable unless some good, verifiable source citations are provided. What needs to be verified is not the content of the article Lobby Lud, but the assertion that this has become a common internet meme/snowclone. A catchphrase that is widely used in general does not need a special article to point out that it is also used on the Internet. I have no doubt that people have used the phrase "Close, but no cigar" on the Internet too. Presently the article contains only two references, both to personal websites. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Lobby Lud. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 03:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Most other people have voted to keep, and by Wikipedia policy, the consensus is what's important. Jimpartame 04:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • While I think its good that you're giving a reason, I'm not sure that's the best reason to keep an article. TerrorIsland 10:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Isn't Wikipedia policy the best reason? This is Wikipedia, so Wikipedia policy is what matters. Jimpartame 11:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • The presence of a consensus is not as important as whether the actual WP policies are met. The discussion is seeking consensus about whether the facts show that those policies are met. A consensus of non-policy "votes" doesn't override the policy. You have the process backward. Barno 19:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I once saw a Usenet posting to the effect of "You are a soulless automaton sent by Skynet to destroy us all... and I claim my five pounds", to which the response was "As you vish. *pound pound pound pound splat* ... oops." Keep. DS 21:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's pretty funny, and a good illustration of why we need the article. Jimpartame 10:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Has historical and internet significance. Other phrases with much less usage are included, and for non-UK persons especially this can be helpful to remain.SidP 21:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gynotikolobomassophile[edit]

I'd love to keep this, but unless we can find instances in books of "ones who like to nibble on a woman's earlobes" then there's not much chance this deserves an entry. It makes me think though, what would the term be for "someone who enjoys having their earlobe nibbled by a woman"? Dangherous 09:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This is already in Wiktionary, as is gynotikolobomassophilia. I'm not at all convinced the term wasn't made up by some bored people with an English–Greek dictionary. Lists of paraphilias used to do regular rounds on usenet, and I'm sure people added all kinds of things. It's not quite clear where the double ss comes from; from the verb masasthai (to chew) I'd expect a single s; massein (to knead) would give ss but would refer to a different irresistible urge. But my classic Greek is a bit rusty and I may be mistaken. If this belongs anywhere in Wikipedia, it should be in Paraphilia#List of paraphilias. LambiamTalk 23:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Cantwell[edit]

Alan Cantwell is a self-published author of conspiracy theory books, is occasionally published in New Dawn (which publishes fringe theories), and back in the 1980s he published a few articles in the medical press, but under 30 publications is certainly not indicative of a significant research career. So he fails the professor test, is a self-published author (so fails the author test) but might be a valid subject as a conspiracy theorist. The no. 1 Google hit is whale.to (now vaccination.org.uk), User:Whaleto's vehement;ly anti-vaccination website, and some at least of the supposed publications are reproduced (with or without permission) on that site. Article was created by Whaleto, who also added (per his usual practice) links to his site. I would say that this is "just another crank" and not an especially notable one, but I could be wrong. Just to clarify per RayaruB below, the books on Amazon are published by Aries Rising Press; from their website: Aries Rising Press, Los Angeles. was founded in 1984 by Alan Cantwell, M.D., for the purpose of disseminating vital medical research and knowledge concerning the origin and cause of two major diseases; Cancer and AIDS. The site lists no books by any other author. These are self-published books. There are notable self-published authors, like Robert Gunther, but he is notable as the founder of the museum of science at Oxford and the driving force behind the rehabilitation of [Robert Hooke]]'s reputation, not as a self-published author. Just zis Guy you know? 11:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's a good point. However, even though they are self-published, I think the fact that several major bookstores stock them indicates that they may have an audience of 5,000 or more, which would satisfy the notability standard for people. I'd still be inclined not to delete. --RayaruB 15:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You say "stock". I'd say "list in their catalogue - unless I saw a definite indication they were on a shelf, or in a warehouse. The Long Tail in selling books was something that Amazon made a lot from, and bricks and mortar shops are catching up on, and just in time ordering and fulfilment is one of the otehr innovations that has altered the meaning of a note that soemthing is _available_ from a book seller. Midgley 12:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He may be a "crank" but he has five books selling at Amazon with numerous reviews [10]. There are also some google scholar references [11]- in fact, almost as many as some widely loved political movements here [12]. We may not like his ideas but I can't see any reason to delete this. -- JJay 15:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Like I said, JJay, those are self-published books. Anyone can get a book listed on Amazon, and anyone can write a book review on Amazon, or even multiple reviews to astroturf something. Just zis Guy you know? 16:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, you did say that. And had Mr. Cantwell's books just been sold by some unknown website I might vote delete here. But they are sold by major booksellers. And I see Cantwell quoted in the press on AIDs or being referenced in other books [13]. Your argument regarding self-publishing is also fairly unconvincing given the vast number of articles here that use self-published papers, blog articles and chat board posts as valid references. You should know this, because you are involved in editing some of these articles. Finally, I again note that Mr. Cantwell gets 18 hits in google scholar [14], while Dominionism gets 32 [15]. Dominionism currently benefits from an article here, a number of categories, a template and some lists. You yourself have argued that dominionism is backed up by scholarly references. Therefore, I'm sure you'll agree, that Cantwell clearly deserves an article here. Call it the dominionism test. -- JJay 17:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per JJay. The self-published author thing is a guideline, not a set of handcuffs. If someone actually cracks the Amazon sales ranks with several books, I don't give a rat's patootie whether the publishing company is something he founded himself. RGTraynor 16:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Is it indicated how many of the books have sold? Amazon indicate they have to order half of them (2-3w), are they being printed to order? If another article is using self-published stuff and own website as a reference then there is a problem with that article, it doesn't mean it is OK for other ones. He doesn't look notable to me, but I've learned not to trust the articles out of that author to include what people are notable for, so it may be worth doing some actual research. It isn't an article that would take any length of time to replace though, is it, with a WP:BIO or whatever. Midgley 18:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not a best-seller, or indeed one you are likely to find without an effort. Nor notable on that behalf. Delete Midgley 12:50, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment as JJay mentioned above which may have been overlooked, Cantwell is mentioned in other books. Amazon lists 15+; after selecting the drop-down "Books" for the search, and searching on "alan cantwell jr" you then click on "Click here to see additional results." Or follow the link for the Google Book search above. Шизомби 21:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on notability + Weak Keep. This guy seems notable ("Alan Cantwell" "AIDS" = 32,000 hits). Clearly as mad as a bicycle, but notable. Just to clarify- having one's books listed on Amazon DOES NOT make one notable in itself. ANYONE with a chequebook can get a book into the Amazon catalogue- they have deals with numerous vanity press outfits. They may be a major bookseller, but they are not a discerning one. PS- Barring exceptional cases (like, for example, this one), almost any article that's using blogs, chat boards, and self-published papers (ie not peer-reviewed) as references is suspect.

  • Delete I don't see sufficient evidence of him being notable in the article. I would want to see notable sources writing about him (not just his writings). Personally, I think a self-published book, is little better then a personal web site. It doesn't mean you're not notable, but it doesn't mean you are. The evidence of notability, needs to go in the actual article (as opposed to this AFD page). Without citing reliable sources that have been written about him in-depth, we can't really say anything neutral and reliable about him, as a person is not a neutral reliable source about themself. Currently, the article mentions no criticisms of his views. Now, that's not because there isn't criticism of these types of views. It's because nobody (worthy of citing) seems to know or care enough about him to bother directly addressing his views. So the article will never present all major perspectives fairly. But if the article is improved, I'll be happy to be proved wrong, and change my vote. --Rob 02:06, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Strogg in Quake 4[edit]

Oldest cities[edit]

I submit that the information in this article is fundamentally unverifyable - people may claim that particular cities are "the oldest" etc etc, which is fine for that city's page, but with the scarcity of evidence, I don't believe that we should have a page containing a list, with dates, that definitively states which cities are the oldest. --Si42 14:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. While there may be some cases where priority is contested, this is in fact verifiable by archaeology. See also the discussion at civilization. Smerdis of Tlön 14:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's not so much some cases of dispute as ALL the cases (look at the first few on the list - they are not as bad as they were, but all the first 3 claimed different things), the archeology involved is far from an exact science, certainly nowhere near good enough for a pseudo-definitive List! All we're going to end up with is a bunch of patriotic, almost nationalistic debate from citizens of India, China and the countries of the Levant - where pride is derived from the apparent status - complete codswallop. --Si42 15:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Not inherently NPOV, unverifiable (although this article clears needs some sourcing), and definitely notable. A move to List of oldest cities might be in order, though. Batmanand | Talk 15:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I can see I'm going to lose this. Shouldn't we at least have a note on the page pointing out how these ages are widely open to interpretation, and that interpretation is usually used by interested parties to further their own ends (see pages for Jericho, Damascus, Arbil, Hebron etc etc --Si42 16:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, however I somewhat agree with the last comment by the nominator. Many of these cities haven't been constantly populated or were small settlements etc. The article should probably include note of this. Tomb Ride My Talk 16:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Needs some retooling and a new name, however. youngamerican (talk) 17:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I had kind of hoped for one person to agree with me, but since that hasn't happened yet, I may as well start working towards doing what I can to improve the page.--Si42 17:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, Keep, but can someome please write an introductory paragraph explaining the criteria (e.g. continous occupation, evidence of earliest occupation etc.) I'm not sure about the use of the word city either, it hints at a size or population requirment. Markb 19:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since there is consensus here (I still think the page is unverifyable but it seems I am alone) and some major changes have been made to the article, I am proposing that we close the nomination, I will leave the "requires sources" tag on until I manage to sort out the sources for the list (I got the ages from various Wiki articles - it's far from perfect but it's better than it was. --Si42 13:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per above. SorryGuy 00:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Okay, my citing of Tiankai Liu appears to have had unintended consequences. I just want to highlight the same principle that I have maintained in the other discussion (on Yi Sun's page): first, although math/science academics and contests at the high school and undergraduate level aren't so notable that we should be creating dozens and dozens of articles on them, I think that it is reasonable to have articles on the top one or two of each graduating year (and if you disagree, please let me know!). Considering the combined magnitude of Tiankai's accomplishments, it's clear that he falls into this category: he was a Putnam fellow this year (top 5 of all North American undergradutes, extraordinarily prestigious), and among other accomplishments in high school, he won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad his freshman year in high school. A gold medal in the IMO freshman year is absurdly rare, and the other two Americans in my memory who have achieved this, Reid Barton and Gabriel Carroll, both have well-established wikipedia articles. The only year of high school Tiankai didn't get a gold medal in the IMO was his junior year, when he attended the Research Science Institute instead.

Moreover, this article doesn't even mention what is perhaps Tiankai's most incredible accomplishment: at the International Olympiad in Informatics, he won a special prize (the only such special prize given that year, and one of the only ones ever) for an incredible solution he provided to one of the problems: his program, dreamed up on the spot, was much faster than the "model" program created by the judges of the competition, computer science experts with far more time to think about the problem. I think that this, which I can add to the article once we resolve this dispute (or before, if consensus is that I should), certainly makes Tiankai notable enough - in addition to his other accomplishments - to be featured on wikipedia. He is one of the few brightest young stars in the math/informatics world right now. slightlyconfused1 04:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to understand why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Penn_State_Nittany_Lions_football_team should be an article but people think we should delete Reid Barton, Gabriel Carroll, Tiankai Liu, et al. Rewarding mediocrity?

Incidentally, Gabriel Carroll dominated ARML for the four years he was in high school. His junior year was the only year he came up short of first place -- incredibly because the 8th grader from his team turned in the correct answer to the tiebreaker question twice as fast as him. That 8th grader? Tiankai Liu. A year later they would both be taking home gold medals from the IMO. 128.103.11.166 15:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Annie Travolta[edit]

Most of her few minor film and TV roles seem to be in productions starring or connected to her brother John Travolta (through his business partner producer Linda Favila [19]). Arniep 15:41, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Just because she's in movies because of her brother doesn't mean she hasn't been in notable films.
    • Being in notable films doesn't necessarily make you a notable actor. Her roles were very minor (Checker, Bank Teller, Cashier, Hostage, Pizza Girl, Wedding Party guest). I don't think that qualifies as notable enough for an encyclopedia. Arniep 02:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of her roles border on the extra level. Are we going to have articles on all people who only have roles as minor as Checker, Bank Teller, Cashier, Hostage, Pizza Girl, Wedding Party guest mainly due to the production starring their sibling or their business partner? Surely if she was really notable she would be able to get parts without these connections? Arniep 02:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are really only four members of the Travolta family that appear to have any individual fame or notability: John, Rikki Lee, Ellen, and Joey. Others only have claim to notability based on relationship to those four, or for the most part to John. I don't see Sam having notability to warrant an article. I tried to look for sources that list his name on the internet and couldn't come up with much. I would suggest Merge into Travolta Family, but again outside of the four individuals, the family may not be notable enough for a page itself. KingJamesCav 11:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Burnlounge[edit]

obvious vanity page Etamura 16:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It most certainly is NOT a vanity page.

It discusses BOTH positive and negative sides of the burnlounge program.

It is a valid topic to have in the wiki. If itunes has an entry (and it does!), then Burnlounge certainly qualifies to have an entry.

Further, I created the page and I AM NOT a burnlounge retailer. It isn't selling anything. If you don't like the format or layout, edit it. But it is not a vanity page. Intelligentguest 16:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Does not pass WP:CORP. rehpotsirhc 16:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC) Speedy Delete - I was wrong, this company does pass WP:CORP.

Not true. It DOES pass WP:CORP. Burnlounge is featured in Fortune magazine http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/04/03/8373063/index.htm

Also Billboard Magazine http://www.ezilon.com/information/article_7990.shtml

In addition it is being touted by Hootie and the Blowfish, Ted Nugent, Joel Madden and many, many more significant musicians. So it clearly DOES pass WP:CORP Intelligentguest 16:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, this is not fully developed yet, the article has some vanity, and doesn't seem to be notable enough yet. --Mason 16:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment tagged for cleanup and verification. Article reads like complete adcruft, needs to be wikified, given a more encyclopedic tone, and the claims verified/sourced. It's also scraping WP:NOT crystalball clause IMO, as a beta of something that won't definitely be popular software when it comes out, or that has been widely adopted in beta. I could go either way on inclusion/deletion.--Isotope23 16:49, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no longer any copyvio on the page. Wow. I had never tried to create a wiki before. Doubt I ever will again!!! Don't Bite the Newbies For goodness sake! Intelligentguest 17:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that in the Fortune Magazine Article over 10,000 users have signed up already in the "beta" form. So I dispute the crystall ball clause. Burnlounge is a factor now, and it valid for an entry in wiki.

This would also challenge the doesn't seem to be notable enough challenge from Mason.

I have removed the vanity. Intelligentguest 17:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added verification in the form of the Fortune Magazine Article and the Billboard™ Magazine Article in PDF form.

  • weak delete as this project is still in its beta testing. Which places it at issue with WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Roodog2k 22:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I don't think this is a crystal ball deal. Burnlounge has 10,000 paying retailers at this point. You can buy music online at their sites. It is a working, functioning music download service right now. The beta thing is a technicality which covers the fact that for their official launch they will add some more functionality to the software and it will be "official." Finally, the "beta" period is supposed to be over in a month, so by the time you delete this, it will be valid again. And I certainly am not coming back and recreating it then. Again, this isn't a crystal ball, Burnlounge exists now, they are selling the mogul packages like crazy. There are tens of thousands of individual sites already up and running. It is a topic that should be in an online encyclopedia. We're not saying "there is going to be a Burnlounge service." It EXISTS now, and is in a "working beta" so-to-speak.

Also, I note that this page exists and isn't up for deletion: Windows Vista Intelligentguest 23:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment but Microsoft isn't going to go belly-up anytime soon. The weak in my weak delete vote comes from the fact that the software is still officially, by your own admission, in beta testing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Roodog2k 13:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete This falls under the POV policy. Michael Ridge (aka Intelligent Guest) from Batesburg, SC, has a personal vendetta against Burnlounge.

  • Delete per nom, fails WP:WEB. The Alexa ranking is 45,155, which isn't horrible, but the article is POV and a quasi-attack page against Democratic Underground (although I grant you the site was explicitly created as an attack site). "It allows both liberals and conservatives to post, but insists that liberals back their arguments up with facts." And conservatives don't have to do so? At the very least the article needs a massive rewrite. RGTraynor 20:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep And Democratic underground isn't an attack site? At least conservative underground allows liberals to even post. Democratic underground deletes any posts contrary to their POV, and then bans the users., in the meantime the poster is mercilessly flamed by rabid liberals.

Handelshögskola is the Swedish word for a business school (despite the inclusion here of schools in Denmark and Norway, Danish and Norwegian do not use the exact same word but a cognate). The definition is already in Wiktionary, and all the business schools in Sweden and (Swedish-speaking or bilingual schools in) Finland have official names in English, so I see no need for this page. u p p l a n d 16:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Previous deletion debates[edit]

Discussion[edit]

The page has been recreated but is not the same as previously deleted versions. For one thing, there is now a source of some sort. I don't understand the newspaper source, however, and the other reference is an advert. Recommend delete per WP:N, WP:V, and WP:NFT. Chances of this being remembered in a year, let alone ten? Almost surely 0. Stifle (talk) 16:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete. The ad source is the same given in the last AfD; the one where someone wrote the link to the Wikipedia article on a board. The newspaper has less than 75,000 readers and has only a short article which I've heard is very similar to our old article here. Still unverifiable. I recommend actually protecting the {{deletedpage}} this time. --Rory096(block) 17:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (again). Per the discussion on Talk:The Game (game), there is a high likelihood that the 'source' was in fact based on our article. Even without the tell-tale signs, it does not explain where it got its information from and is next to useless in terms of verifiability. "The Game was also mentioned in an advertisement in MacWorld and MacAddict publications" sums up this article as having been written purely to survive deletion rather than to provide anyone with factual information. --Sam Blanning(talk) 17:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, we don't know if that's true or not. In the given article, Wikipedia is not mentioned. We have no reason to believe that Wikipedia is the only source of that material, in which case I would agree that it would not be a reliable source. As has been pointed out, it's easy to convince yourself that people know what The Game is and play it by doing a web search: that may not be good enough for Wikipedia, but it's good enough for a newspaper article.

JoshuaZ 18:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's only one additional source which does not make it verifiable, it was recreated way outside of policy (this should have been taken back to DRV not recreated and sent here) and it's just another excuse of a reason by a group that will do anything including sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry, and blatant violation of consensus to delete and policy regarding deletion to get this article on Wikipedia. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 18:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not going to comment on the sockpuppetry matter other than to note that there were many editors (such as myself) who had nothing to do with that, so to label it all as part of some "group" is highly misleading and unproductive. Now, I'm highly curious where in WP:V it says that "one additional source which does not make it verifiable" or something to that effect. JoshuaZ 18:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not the additional source that's my main issue, it's the fact that people are using one source as a way to justify the entire article's recreation against consensus and against policy without even going through it the proper way and it seems nobody really cares about the fact that we are being walked over by the people at Savethegame . org in their quest to get this article recreated at any cost and in the process are making a mockery out of Wikipedia.

  • Comment doesn't really matter, this whole AFD is invalid since it's a blatant policyvio and it's against community consensus because the article was recreated against policy and against consensus.

  • Delete, delete, delete. This article was already deleted as a result of a recent AFD, then put through a Deletion Review. The only supposed "source" for this was a small newspaper article that looks suspiciously similar to the WP article that was deleted. It was brought up during the DRV and was taken into account by the admin who closed it. Their decision was to keep deleted, and protected the article from recreation.
    However, the protection was removed and the article recreated by the very same user/admin who initiated the DRV in the first place! I can't be the only one who sees a problem with that, and I noted it on the article's talk page.
    This article was recreated against policy, and it needs to be sent to the grave again. WarpstarRider 20:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • I really don't think it's fair to say it was "shot down" in the deletion review. The only comment made on it after it was brought up was by the closing admin. And I see no reason why a newspaper article should be considered unreliable just because it's not sourced. I know of virtually no newspaper articles that are. Mangojuice 21:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fair enough, I changed my reasoning accordingly. The reason the source of the article is important (at least to my understanding) is that there was some talk on Talk:The Game (game) about whether the article used WP as a source. I'm not sure I buy it myself, but that is one of the arguments being used against the newspaper article. At any rate, these are things that need to be brought up in another DRV. Quoting directly from WP:DRV: "Deletion Review is also to be used if significant new information has come to light since a deletion and the information in the deleted article would be useful to write a new article." This is what should have been done in this situation, instead of going against a just-closed DRV and restoring the article. BryanG 21:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Even if Deletion Review were the correct place to take this discussion, it seems to be pretty policy-obsessive to vote for deletion now solely based on that. Why not ask "If this were at deletion review" what would my opinion be? JoshuaZ 22:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Relist--oh wait =( Kotepho 22:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • I don't feel I'm being policy-obsessive here. The fact is that both the most recent AfD and the DRV have been closed as "delete". I believe it sets a dangerous precedent if we allow users to ignore two successive debates and recreate a substantially similar article just because one source has been found. That's exactly what DRV exists for, as I noted above. To answer your question, I would probably say that the article is non-notable and vote to keep the article deleted anyway, so my vote stands.

    • Comment: Why will it always violate WP:V? If the phenomenon were thoroughly researched and the results published by several reliable, independent sources, would you still claim that it violates policy? I can't imagine why it would. (For that matter, I don't see why anyone would claim that it currently does, except for the possibility that the newspaper article's authors got their information from Wikipedia, which should not be presumed to be the case unless there's any hard evidence that they did.) —smably 23:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Usual reasons for requiring sources is to avoid publishing incorrect information. However this "game" is a pure mental phenomenon, nobody claims that it "exists" in any other way except in the minds of people playing it. There seem to be sufficient evidence (even without the newspaper article that I cannot read) that a group of people exists that "play" the game as described in the article. Therefore the article is not incorrect. If it passes notability test then it should be kept.Vlad1 12:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Pointless article that will not die! Adycarter 12:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm copying my comment from Talk:The Game (game) here, since many editors seem to regard WP:V as an annoying hurdle to be jumped over in order to write their article, rather than what an article should be based upon in the first place.

Yes. Of course [sources must be souced]. Always have and always will. WP:V is not a game. It's about letting readers know where the information originally came from. This source fails miserably to do that, unless they read this talk page and find that it probably came from, well, us.

  • No Wikipedian who wasn't already "playing The Game" would read the newspaper article and consider it worth basing an article upon. Those thinking that this source is sufficient for an encyclopaedia article are in the same frame of mind of those who think that geological evidence proves the infallibility of the Bible and the existence of God. They started out with a theory, and then they looked for evidence, rather than vice versa. --Sam Blanning(talk) 14:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A single newspaper blurb (especially in a foreign-language newspaper) isn't enough for notability for something like this.

  • Strong Keep. The article has stirred up a huge amount of interesting discussion, but it boils down to the question of whether we should accept something that is real, despite it not being widely documented in traditional source material. I think that we should. The Game is a real phenomemon, and as such it is Wikipedia's duty to document it. By its very nature it does not have much written source material, but it is nevertheless not simply a 'childish game'. Daniel (☎) 18:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep The primary concern was a lack of verifiable sources. a newspaper article (regardless of its country of origin) is verifiable. and regardless, it is blatantly obvious that The Game is notable, considering the vast quantity of discussion on this topic. Gsham 15:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your argument is nonsensical. The fact that something is discussed on Wikipedia is not evidence of its notability or verifiability. Anyone can stir up a tempest in a teapot on Wikipedia. I should start an article called "Gsham sucks" and then create a large controversy over its existence. By your standards, said article would be notable because there would be a vast quantity of discussion on the topic. Get my drift? FCYTravis 08:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The link for the article doesn't work, not that I speak Dutch anyway (sorry Oma). Apart from the overall silliness of the game, I don't understand why the first rule isn't "You begin playing The Game when you have forgotten about it." Otherwise, you've lost upon finishing reading the rules. I also find the enthusiasm for the game inexplicable (it could almost be a subject for a sociological study). It reminds me of the politically incorrect elementary school "gay tests" and "retard tests" where whatever answer you gave "made" you gay or retarded. Шизомби 17:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. I wanted a source, and one has been found. I wish it were in English because the majority of our readers can't read Dutch, but I trust the translation and I trust the newspaper. I do hope that someone contacts the author of the newspaper article to ask what sources he/she used in writing it... doing so will either confirm that we're now referencing ourselves circularly or will provide us with more sources for our own article. Until we can prove without a doubt that the author used our article to write his/hers, I'm going to assume he/she didn't, and hopefully that's not shooting myself in the foot. If the result is keep, it will require a fair bit of policing, I'm sure, to keep the original research and general cruft out, but the promise of cruft in the future is not a valid reason for deleting the article now. —Seqsea (talk) 20:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep the newspaper source makes 'the game' verifiable. James Kendall [talk] 21:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong KeepThe content of the article is uniquely hard to pin a source down to. Meme phenomena tend to lack the publicity or scholarly research that an article on a current event or the astrolabe would. Specifically, addressing Gsham's point, it's a bit elitist to disregard any attempt at justification solely because the article doesn't happen to be in English. If it is really of that much concern, then maybe have it translated by someone? Or check the qualifications on the publisher itself? If it's a newspaper issue, and if it can't be translated, then see if the source is a credible one. Reiterating: Memes are regional, cultural, etc. phenomena. Just because the New York Times has not piped in an opinion does NOT mean that the information is either any less true or any less informative than any other regional quirks.

Now, certainly, if the article was blatantly dumb, then it merits deletion. However, I can testify that this actually is a true meme. I've talked to people across the state that play this 'game' just as myself and my friends do. Cheers.Mordacil 00:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I tried searching usenet for +"think about the game" +lose. I figured those would be in all versions of the game; I didn't find any of the results referring to this game. The only post I can find definitely relating to it is one from April 17, 2005 that links to the WP page. There's one from February 20, 2006 that states "You made me lose The Game" which might refer to it. I think it's important to find references that predate the article's first creation on WP. When was that? The first VFD was posted 30 Sep 2004. Шизомби 07:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC) On April 6, 2004 195.92.67.75 added a description of the game to the disambig page The Game diff. Assuming that's the earliest reference to it on WP, I think the reference challenge is to find references that predate that. Otherwise, WP could well be the source of this meme, and that would be self-reference. Шизомби 07:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it can be, as someone posted a scan of it on the talk page, but you're not missing anything. It is next to useless with respect to WP:V, as it does not explain how it got its information (which newspapers do generally do when they have a source, contrary to Ssbohio's claim, even if it's unnamed "senior government officials") and we're forced to resort to "they probably know what they're talking about". It seems to score some points in the notability game, though, but personally I don't play it, hence my own continued deletionist stance. --Sam Blanning(talk) 23:06, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a much stricter application of that sentence than we normally use. I'm particularly puzzled by your comment that a newspaper saying "senior government officials" is in fact any better, since we have no guarantee that that came from such officials at all. Would you feel better if the article said "we heard about it from all the annoying idiots who keep playing the game and announce 'I lost' in the middle of lectures" or "we kept hearing friends talk about it?" You seem to be creating an unusually high bar of verifiability for this article. Could you please explain what a source would need to say for it to meet your standards on this matter?

"We didn't read this on Wikipedia." --Sam Blanning(talk) 12:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've tried hard to see each side's point on this, since I am uninvolved in this particular article, having had no edits or previous votes. Until I read the article here in Wikipedia, I hadn't heard of this "game." As a fourth attempt at deletion, I'm having a hard time seeing a consensus to delete. Further, when a source is provided to overcome the WP:V issue, those in favor of deletion argue against the verifiability of the newspaper story, despite any evidence that calls its verifiability into account. Secondary sources fall within WP:V and to presume the story unverifiable because it contains no explicit sourcing (in keeping with newspaper tradition) doesn't assume good faith on the part of the keep faction. If the newspaper story is dubious (for reasons grounded in fact), then this article can't rely on it for sole support.

    In the end, having read the discussions here, at DRV, and in the talk page, I have to come down in favor of keeping the article. I can't see where a consensus for its removal has been demonstrated, and the fact that it has been ruled a keep in AfD twice, but forum-shopped back to AfD by those favoring deletion, then forum-shopped again into DRV by those favoring keeping the article, only to end up back here again. This has taken on an unpleasant aspect through all these actions, and I find it hard to believe that a true consensus in favor of deletion could be reached. The article needs wikified & sourced, but not deleted. So, keep. --Ssbohio 22:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your assumption is incorrect. Every previous discussion has resulted in keep deleted. There was no need to recreate this AfD, it could have been speedy deleted this time as recreated content, and should have been. Consensus has been clear in every occasion. It has not been ruled a keep in AfD twice, and even if that were, true, violatons of Wikipedia policy are not negotiable. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Zoe is right in one way. It's blatantly obvious that, with one or two meagre exceptions, no-one is satisfied by the newspaper article except those who were satisfied with an article that had no sources in the first place. At this point in time, the result of this discussion must be the same as the last one ('delete'). --Sam Blanning(talk) 12:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not really. You're right that we have as much consensus as we had before.. which is to say, we don't have consensus. The result of the last one was delete not because of consensus but because of no satisfactory answer to the verifiability concerns. Now there is an answer, which makes a difference. Mangojuice 14:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a real phenomenon. How does one verify a game is actually played? One can't unless they play it themselves or have seen or heard it played. Beer Pong has an entry. Prove that people play it. This is the same idea - it's silly.--CastAStone|(talk) 17:30, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Okay, I'll bite :) There is the National Beer Pong Leage, and the game has been mentioned in the New York Times [21]. It's also been in a whole host of other papers; I'd give you links, but I can only find them on LexisNexis. (Apparently it was even banned by a city council.) It's easy to verify that games like tag and hide-and-go-seek and Monopoly are played. It's less easy, but still possible, to prove that many less-timeless games are played. —Seqsea (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, my last word on the subject before today not only addressed the newspaper story specifically but even supported the reinstatement of the article because of it. The decision to end the deletion review was made by the closing admin with full knowledge and consideration of the Belgian article, and I understand and support his decision and the reasons behind it. Two days later, with no new information having emerged in the meantime, the admin who originally dragged this article's sorry carcass to deletion review in the first place brought it back from the dead, in defiance of process, and that admin should be disciplined for it. And that brings us back to the present, and my question stands: How many more times are we gonna have to do this? --phh 01:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it is an interesting article, and it does not contain any false information, what is the harm of keeping it? Frankly I do not understand "strong deletionists".

      • Comment A slippery slope is a definite concern. The fact is that the the notability and verifiability of this could be seen as in the gray area, and the last thing we need is for Wikipedia to become a collection of random memes.

        • No! No it does not "by its very nature avoid mention in the media!!" Not everyone who hears about it wants to "play." Some people, believe it or not, consider the whole thing moronic and don't even accept the fascist dictum that everyone who's heard about it is "playing" it whether they want to or not. There is nothing preventing any reliable source anywhere from taking notice of it other than that they believe a stupid, pointless "game" "played" primarily by bored and often chemically altered college students is beneath their notice. And, wow, maybe they're right. --phh 15:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment This is a good point, I doubt the nature of the game would stop a reporter from discussing it in an article if they thought it was notable. That said, I refuse to play/acknowledge the game among people who are playing it, and I still think that the article meets WP:N and WP:V.

I'm pretty sure that would refer to a controversy about a piece of information that differs between two or more sources, not whether wikipedians can decide as to whether a single source is a legitimate basis for an article or not. To refer to that latter "controversy" in the article would be self-reference. Шизомби 21:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"controversy...over what constitutes a legitimate...source." Kernow 01:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • For the article to be kept, there needs to be verifiablity now, not a promise of it some time in the future.

  • Strong Keep - the nature of The Game makes verifying it difficult, for now. This is one of the borderline articles that separates Wikipedia from Britannica. There are many articles on Wikipedia with less verified sources than The Game, but they exist simply because they aren't notable enough to garner the kind of attention that this article does. Just let it stay, let the sources appear as they will with the number of devotees that will keep on adding to the article, and let the whole debate die. - dharmabum 10:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Until there is a writeup in a reputable newspaper or magazine, this does not have any veracity." - User:Zoe

"Keep deleted until criteria for includion in wikipedia are met: independent reputable source." - `'mikka
After an independent reputable source is found, Mikka votes "Delete" because "A newspaper is the source of news, not facts."
A worrying number of delete voters refer to the newspaper's language as if this somehow reduces its reputability. (including Stifle who nominated this for deletion "there is now a source of some sort. I don't understand the newspaper source, however")
Although it has a relatively small circulation, it is read by a significant proportion of Belgians (about 1 in 150). It is likely that hundreds of thousands of people now play The Game as a result.
Even if the paper is based on the Wikipedia article, for which there is no evidence, someone has yet to quote Wikipedia policy which would invalidate the source because of this.
The Game was created before the Wikipedia article existed. Although I cannot prove it, I have been playing since 2002. I am fairly certain this blog entry pre-dates the earliest Wikipedia article. Kernow 10:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I accept that it may not have been wise to speedy it; deletion is like that. So I find the situation of the consistent undeletion and deletion of this article disruptive, but the constant outcries for it trips my troll alarm.

  • Keep. It's clear that several AfD regulars simply have a vendetta against this article now because the previous nominations have annoyed them. You asked for verifiability, and you got it. Claiming that this newspaper is not verifiable is ludicrous. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 23:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The numbers of people who believe that newspapers are ultimate truth (possibly after Bible or Qu'ran) is amazing. I hope that the "Disappearing blonde gene" story will be instructive for some believers in printed matter. `'mikka (t) 23:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      That's a funny link. We all know that just because something is printed doesn't mean it's true. But being printed in a source such as a newspaper is generally taken as some fairly good evidence, particularly by the WP:V policy. Do you have a reason to doubt this newspaper article? What part of it would be in doubt, anyway? Right now I have the amusing idea of this paper subsequently publishing a retraction: "The 'Game' that we described in our previous edition was found not to exist. It was made up by malicious Wikipedia editors. Nobody actually plays it. We apologize for the error." Except in Dutch, of course. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 00:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been arguing to keep this, possibly against my better judgement, but it won't help me or the closing admin at all if the AfD is full of keep votes that are completely irrelevant.

  • There are hundreds, even thousands, of hits on google for this. This does not make the article any more or less verifiable. What it does, however, do, is make it (in my opinion) notable. There's also the numerous people here on Wiki from across the world who say they've played it. Of course, I'm not sure what the person who put this up for deletion is intending to get at with notability, since it's a bit of a nebulous concept (at least as I'm reading it). The person who sent this to AfD explaining what they mean by declaring this article non notable would help. Of course, as far as I can tell, notability isn't specifically Wikipedia policy.
Secondly, there's the matter of NFT, but I think that if we resolve Verifiability, then NFT becomes a moot question. Which, of course, brings us back to the original question (the one causing so much discussion): Is this verifiable? Which leads me to ask, what (if anything) makes this article unfit? Admittedly, I'm not an expert on Wiki Policy, but could someone point out to me what makes this new article unverifiable? I understand hesitancy to use an article printed in a language many do not speak, but the policy on Reliable Sources states that English sources are prefered when possible. This seems like a juncture in which English sources are not possible. Further, the article goes on to state
"Where editors use their own English translation of a non-English source as a quote in an article, there should be clear citation of the foreign-language original, so that readers can check what the original source said and the accuracy of the translation."
I suspect that no one will be heavily quoting the article, but even if they were, since this is intended as a source, it will surely be linked. Further, Kernow has raised some interesting points, both here and on the talk page, about the reliability of the (or any) source, and cases in which primary sources are acceptable.
That said, my vote is to Keep

AFD is a touchy process, and has become more and more inatricate as time goes on. Notes of recent wikipedians are simply made on discussion pages for various reasons, one of which is sockpuppetry.

Actually meat-puppetry is more important - i.e. someone asks their friends to come vote for it. However, it is also significant in that it is not a democratic vote - it is a collective rumination on the article in relation to policy. We logically should expect more experienced users to have a thorough grasp of the regulations and to be able to orient their votes based on previous AFDs they've participated in. --Davril2020 18:21, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and Cleanup because it's notable. Forget all of the wikipedian politics surrounding the article, because in the end it boils down to whether or not the article is notable.

  • keep I knew about this game from experience about 2 years ago. I checked Wikipedia then to see if we had an article on it. Sure enough, we did. That was good enough for me then. WP:V has a flaw. Wikipedia is not allowed to be the first source to report on a fact; we have to wait until some other source that is deemed a verification source has already reported on it. We should not have to wait until there is a single "good enough" source. Having some number of Google hits should be good enough to say "yes, this is verifiable", even if none of those hits are good enough on their own to merit verifiability. What that "some number of hits" should be may need to be left up to interpretation. In the case of The Game, it certainly exists, there is sufficient Google hits to document the information and therefore verify the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong speedy delete with extreme prejudice. Besides being a recreation of deleted content (which it is, references to unknown-sourced Belgian newspapers be damned), it still doesn't hold up against WP:V (which is, lest we forget, the entire reason the article was eventually deleted in the first place and the reason it didn't come back after WP:DRV). Furthermore, if this page is deleted I would like to see it locked against all editing (not just from non-logged-in users, and except possibly certain admins) to prevent an article which went through due process in AfD, due process in DRV, was deleted, and is now up for a FOURTH DELETION from being recreated again.

    • The article has never been deleted through the standard process; it was deleted over a lack of consensus by an admin who used WP:V to trump the AfD discussion and who later said in the DRV that he regretted his decision (I think I got him confused with Ashibaka).

  • Delete with prejudice. Looks like WP:V is doing it's job just right, it's not flawed. We are not here to document social phenomena, we are here to report what reliable sources say.

Also unfounded. Is it because it doesn't cite it's source? What? Most newspaper articles do not nor books. Small subscription base? It has around 8% of the subscription base of the Wall Street Journal Online. It isn't exactly small. Kotepho 15:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cashville Records[edit]

I seen Cashville Records website and looked at it clearly. I believe that it's possible for it to true, but there is no official word from Interscope Records. Interscope has the say in that matter. To me, personally, it looks like a fan site devoted to Young Buck. The B.G. is in talks with G-Unit, but not a signed member of the group or an artist established to any label other than Chopper City Records, his own established label. I doubt B.G. would be a part of any label after Cash Money cheated him out of money. Not saying G-Unit would, but it's more likely he wouldn't. LILVOKA.

Improperly listed AFD by the same nom. Stole this rationale from the previous no consensus debate. Kotepho 17:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Strong Delete. This should be clear. B.G. is not on G-Unit South, Lil' Scrappy is working with G-Unit but not apart of the label, and every other fan rumor is false. LILVOKA.

There is no mention of this so called "Cashville Records" label in major American music websites such as Billboard.com, almusic.com, and MTV.com. It is just briefly mentioned as "G-Unit South" in several MTV articles.

You perhaps think that G-Unit has expanded over with Cashville Records whenas there is no official site other than that squanter site with Google advertising among others. And besides how can Lil' Scrappy break ties with Warner Bros/Atlantic without comfirming. Show me proof and again I will recend my nomination. Right now I see a fansite not a webpage devote to G-Unit Records. Whoever made this page just copy the information from the website and posted it on the Wikipedia site! And beside it doesn't cite sources. #D-Tay- Fellow Tennessee rapper released mixtapes with Young Buck before Young Buck signed with G-Unit and has just linked a deal with G-Unit South. He is now preparing for his first big label debut. So therefore this is false. #B.G.- Former Cash Money rapper and Hot Boy has just signed to G-Unit South after weeks of speculation. So therefore this is false. B.G. is currently on Koch Records, but recently signed to Atlantic Records. #Lil' Scrappy- Former BME Records rapper, has finally signed with G-Unit South after tons of web rumors.” So therefore this is false. See the discussion as well as the Cashville Records.net website. Thanks. LILVOKA.

9-11:_The_Road_to_Tyranny[edit]

The video described by this page is self-published original research, not from a reliable source, and serves only to promote the video and aggrandize the crank theories of the author, in violation of Wikipedia policies. Gnetwerker 17:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, from WP:V:
Self-published sources: Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, and then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources. Exceptions may be when a well-known, professional researcher in a relevant field, or a well-known professional journalist, has produced self-published material. In some cases, these may be acceptable as sources, so long as their work has been previously published by credible, third-party publications. However, exercise caution: if the information on the professional researcher's blog is really worth reporting, someone else will have done so. -- Gnetwerker 21:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete no substantial citable sources. The blurb on Alex Jones already consists of as much as is appropriate or citable about this film. There was substantial debate and work after the last AfD, which resulted in the page you've seen. Weregerbil and Schizombie have both worked significantly on the article and it still lacks ANY citable sources.--Mmx1 18:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep This article has already survived an afd, and the article has not changed substantially since that time. The film is notable, has had widespread distribution, returns many Google hits, and has an IMDB entry. Describing a publicly available film is not original research; the film is the primary source. --Hyperbole 19:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Untrue. Weregerbil added the enormous summary. He and Schizombie both made good faith efforts to find sources and found none. The last AfD resulted in no consensus with many editors wanting to see more sourcing. Well, at least four editors have tried and failed to find sources for this. --Mmx1 19:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks to me like the overview was added by Mary Read while the previous AfD was still ongoing. It is perplexing to me how one could claim that there is inadequate sourcing for this documentary when it has 24,500 Google hits, of which 352 are unique; ratings on several review sits; and when it is available for public download. Are you really concerned about verifiability?? --Hyperbole 19:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The overview deleted (and readded) by Gnetwerker was originally added by Weregerbil after watching the film and noting the 9-11 content of the article at AfD time was only a small piece of the movie. Mary Read proofread most of it during the AfD. Tell me, what is there to say in this article other than to synopsize the movie? 352 ghits is notable these days? --Mmx1 19:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment WP doesn't have a guideline for notability of movies, which makes things difficult to decide what to do about them. IMDb's criteria for inclusion was mentioned above; it's at http://us.imdb.com/updates?update=title if anyone is curious. There are a couple of movies I had a devil of a time submitting to IMDb, though I'd bought one in a video store and the other from online after hearing about it (if I recall correctly) on Leno. Factual observations about a primary source that others can consult and make the same observation are AFAIK permissible. E.g. you don't need to cite a secondary or tertiary source to note that a given person is in a movie, or to quote it. Such sources are needed when the article starts getting deeper; what the meaning or ramification of things are, whether it's good or not, etc. See the part of Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary_and_secondary_sources that states "In some cases, where an article (1) makes descriptive claims the accuracy of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable adult without specialist knowledge, and (2) makes no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, or evaluative claims, a Wikipedia article may be based entirely on primary sources (examples would include apple pie or current events), but these are exceptions."

Excuse me, can you read? If so, please try to exercise that capability before calling someone else incorrect. (1) The stated reason for nomination is "original research", and not "non-notable".

General Theory of Relativity would not be on Wikipedia if it had not been peer reviewed and especially if it had been posted by Einstein himself. It would have been an Original Research vanity posted by Einstein until it could be reviewed by an outside source and validated. In fact, I think that's how science treated it when it was originally published. It's certainly how Einstein treated Quantum Mechanics. This is a blog that was committed to film and posted by the author.--Tbeatty 02:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
General Theory of Relativity would also not be on Wikipedia if the criterion set forth by the nominator is literally applied. The point is not that General relativity should not be here, and not even that the nominated article should necessarily stay, but that there is something wrong with the given reason for nomination by itself, independent of the merits of any past, present, or future articles. It is a garbled rendering of WP:NOR, in which the text of the article is confused with the topic of the article, a confusion that is also common for WP:NPOV.

  • Keep The previous AFD was closed 5 weeks ago. A relist this quickly is disrespectful of the previous discussion, especially since it received a reasonable number of comments. Give the article some time to evolve after a failed AFD, at least 3 months or so. At a bare minimum, the previous discussion and comments ought to be considered as part of the current discussion, since it was so very recent. (I would say delete for notability reasons otherwise).

  • It was no consensus the last AfD so I fail to see how it's "disrespectful" considering the ambivalence that exists about this article. It might be disrespectful if the outcome were clearly delete or keep but that's not the case. Moreover, the article received a lot of attention and editing after the AfD, especially from User:Weregerbil. --Mmx1 19:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was not even remotely close to being a delete. And, there's not a chance in hell it would be deleted by an experienced admin now if the inputs of those prior commentors are weighed.

GGFan[edit]

Delete non-notable fancruft page with no sources, so unverifiable. Has been created and speedied five times since September. On the talk page, the creator of the latest version claims it is more substantive (and has contested speedy and prod notices). Only claim to notability put forward so far is a link to a post on an external noticeboard claiming to be from GGFan. Gwernol 17:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Claiming to be from GGFan? Take a look at LionheartGGFans profile. Date joined: July 16th, 2005. Hey, The Alternative was created on July 16th, 2005! I gave you two valid sources, so you're wrong by saying there are no sources. So it is verifiable. I can provide more proof if you want BTW. It may have been created and speedied five times but this version isn't a life story or anything like that. It just gives all the good and bad details about a well known person in the Pokemon community, Gamefaqs and even in SDA (SpeedDemonsArchive).

  • Delete I commented out the game logs because they don't add anything to the debate. I don't think you understand the guidelines for biography and verifiability. A very few gamers become famous in real life and get covered in newspaper or magazine articles. GGFan isn't one of those. He is not notable outside the Pokemon gamer community, and his notability within the community can not be independently verified through reliable sources.

There is a website at http://www.arncliffeaurora.com/, which seems to describe a small club playing in a local amateur league for which Google finds no official website.

List of Amusement Parks[edit]

Also the associated subpages List of Amusement Parks (A-B) and List of Amusement Parks (C-D). We have Category:Amusement parks which does the same job without the maintenance overhead. We also have Category:Water parks and Category:Theme parks, and various subcategories by location. I'd say this is redundant per those categories; I strongly suspect that it was the impossibility of maintaining such vcasts lists which led the creator to lose momentum after starting back in February. The articles have been esentially untouched since creation, and having seen the scale of the task required to complete the remaining sections from E to Z, let alone maintain the existing ones, I can quite see why.

High Impact Wrestling, Matt Essex, Chi (e-fed wrestler)[edit]

  • Call me biased, but why is an e-federation which claims to be nothing more than an e-federation being accused of anything? It's fiction, correct - that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, is it really so different to this? And in response to the question of how one can be a, "professional e-wrestler;" the answer is simple. A fictional charcter who's profession is wrestling. What's not real about that? Nebzilla.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nebzilla (talk • contribs) 15:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
    • The main reason isn't that it is fiction, the main reason is that it isn't notable, thus doesn't meet WP:N nor is it verifiable as there are no third party sources and thus it doesn't meet WP:V. Despite what you think, your e-fed is different to you example of Lord of the Rings as Lord of the Rings is a very popular and notable set of movies. Englishrose 15:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • When one first chooses to consider that which is notable, one should invariably take account of the facts and figures. www.hiwsuperstars.com is a veritable hive of activity. At this precise moment, there are 22 (13 members and 9 guests) people viewing the forums on which the fiction is written. Notably, 9 guests. Third parties. The naming of something as objectively notable poses a difficult question, but perhaps I can argue a favourable answer in Matt Essex's case. Quantitively, The Archives (which contain most things over six months old) are 30gb's in total. This I think you will agree is a notable collection of work.

There are 11,593 threads viewable on the forums. Once again, I think it would be folly to denote such a figure as not being notable. There are 499 registered members to the forums. This does not include traffic to and from the website by non-members. There are non-members who in fact come to the forums on a weekly basis to read the wrestling shows put up by those who write them, so much so in fact that for a number of months HIW incorporated a ratings system into its News sub forum to keep track of how popular it in fact was.

Before this was removed, HIW scored a 7.1 rating on its last Pay Per View Event (Fictional, of course, and thus free to view). By the forum moderators calculations for rating events, the total score is found by taking the number of hits during the day of posting (bear in mind the shows are available, and actively viewed, for a number of days thereafter) and dividing it by 1000. That means 7,100 views of a single show in a single day. That again would have to be, by a person of sound mind, considered a notable achievement. This should also assuage your concern of there being no third-party sources. Those who are in no way actively involved in the production or competition aspects of the product presented view the product presented regardless.

HIW's name and purpose furthermore do not coincide with any other entries, or indeed possible entries, as High Impact Wrestling is an original and innovative RPG e-community of which there have been several notable spin-offs (including OTB -http://otb.booyah.net/efed- and XW2 -www.wrestlingdistrict.com/forums) over the five years it has been action. Chronologically, one would have to suggest five years of operation is a notable length of time for a non-profit organisation dedicated to encouraging the literary creativity of the wrestling fan.

To use the ongoing example of Lord Of The Rings, I believe the point Matt was trying to make is not that HIW is as popular per se as Lord Of The Rings, but rather that it is chiefly literary fantasy, enjoyed by all who read it. I might remind Englishrose that The Lord Of The Rings is not a popular series of films, rather a popular series of books, of which the films were spin-offs. Again, a philosophical point can be taken from this- one authors work is considered notable, while the work of hundreds of authors is not, viewed by literally thousands, is not. Notability I assume is not relative. Ergo, it is considered presently to equalise the balance. The number of viewings experienced by the average author for a single piece of work might be 26, bear in mind these pieces are approximately 1/200th of the length of one Lord Of The Rings book. Multiply 26 by 200 and one gets 5,200. Proportionately then, while not as popular by any means, one would still reach the conclusion that it is indeed notable.

Verily I am perplexed by the fervour with which the opposition petitions for this pages deletion. After all, philosophically at least, this is supposed to be an encyclopaedia for the people, by the people. How would anyone hope to overcome ignorance of anything if the repositories of knowledge did not contain information that which one seeks. Gravity was once but an apple in Isaac Newton’s eye. Evolution, in Darwin’s. If he had been opposed to vigorously by those who disdain that which is unfamiliar to the point of requesting its removal from tomes of knowledge, scientific advancements would have been terribly stunted. Meanwhile, the creativity, innovation, advancement and achievement of generations both young and old as channelled through a specific medium (wrestling) is being shunned as being unworthy of representation herein. It seems in conclusion that the deletion of this page would move against the fundamental precepts upon which the site is based, merely because of a subjective sense of practicality.

          • Typing in "HIW e-fed" brings up HIW as the first and second search results on Google. Typing simply e-fed it is the seventh result. Typing in "High Impact Wrestling" (it is important for the protesting author to realise that HIW is infact an acronym) it is half way down page two. On Alexa: "HIW e-fed" brings up HIW as its first result. Simply "e-fed" the seventh result. Typing in "High Impact Wrestling" it is two thirds of the way down the second page. "HIWsuperstars" finds HIW the first result on both engines. Ergo, your search was the problem. It is important for the protesting author to note the needs of the community that use and view the product. There are literally thousands of e-feds on the net, and thus anyone using Google or Alexa would not search for the letters "HIW" they would search for "e-fed" and whereupon they searched for "e-fed" they would undoubtedly find HIW among the first results.
          • Furthermore I would like to add the following:

"This guideline is not Wikipedia policy (and indeed the whole concept of notability is contentious)," Ergo, your point is contentious, as is your issue.

"The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." Indeed, ALL works published are independant of the site itself, save approximately 50% of the total news posts. All writers are independant of the site itself. There are over 30 active writers currently. hence, notable by this criterion.

"The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster" Indeed, ALL works published are independant of the site itself, save approximately 50% of the total news posts.

Strong Delete: This is ridiculous and as a former player of PBeM and PBM wrestling games this is just blatant self promotion. An e-Fed caters to a very specific cross section of people and is not notable by any means. Glad you spent a goo ddeal of tie on character history, but I'm not putting my Role Playing accolades into wikipedia. --NegroSuave 21:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Again, call me biased, but to be fair being a "former player" of anything doesn't justify what's essentially just an assumption. Regardless of what's apparently so "blatant;" the first of the three pages in question to be created was actually Matt Essex. Thus I feel inclined to ask how it is exactly that one promotes, not an efed, but an efed character? Hopefully your answer clarifies my point, because, you see, the idea, in essence, is to document the character's history and thus give a real-life example of an actual efedding character as well as how that character and any other efedding character's career can indeed develop. As for the page for HIW itself, as far as I'm aware, the same thing applies. It provides the example, documents the history, etc etc. Topping that, considering the uniqueness of the fed in itself, I'd say it's somewhat worthy of being classed as "of note." Nevertheless, anything anywhere can be regarded as not being "of note." I could easily say that as an example, The Lord Of The Rings doesn't quite appeal to everyone, because in all honesty, it doesn't. Sadly, in the case of the support, it's quite unfortunate that apparently as long as the deletion of a page is the initial outlook, no amount of convincing and/or opinion will suffice. Nebzilla.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nebzilla (talk • contribs) 22:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
    • It is self promotion because it is patently forgettable knowledge. Like most roleplaying genre's it is not really important to have an example of the game. Regardless of how popular a Dungeons and Dragons game gets, we do not need an article detailing a character and the time period. As popular as a Minds Eye Theatre game could be Wikipedia doesnt need a detailed article about the setting and the characters. It is simply not necessary. I would yield what unwritten guidelines have been established about other roleplaying games, It is not about any specific game it is all about the genre and maybe you can put your name on a list. Otherwise this is merely complete juvenile arrogance.
    • And as for how it is self promotion. Basically this is the same thing as a "vanity pressing" of a book. While the book was indeed published and the like, its sole purpose is mental masturbation for the author. This is basically the same thing, Mental masturbation. Keep this out of Wikipedia and on a bio webpage where it belongs. If you want this to stand up to the test I am going to start requesting respectable secondary sources to back up all of these claims. NegroSuave 17:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • One would hasten of course to argue that masturbation, as a form of pleasurable physical exercise, and in this case of the mental variety, is the singular function of wikipedia. To exercise ones mind by broadening ones basis of knowledge through research. Ergo, such a phrase does not accurately describe the actions of the pages author as either reprehisible or reprimandable. As for a reputable secondary source, I had no clue Matt Essex had a page on wikipedia and was in no way involved in its construction, yet I have visited it and learned many useful things on it which I have gone on to use in writings of my own. This page has been a useful resource to all who have viewed it, and an encyclopaedia should want nothing more than that. Rob.
    • The High Impact Wrestling e-federation does not have 5000 active members, this is true. It may not even have 5000 active viewers. These may be the guidelines, but is it too much to ask for the powers that be here to look at the world of e-fedding in context? It has been pointed out, I believe, on the e-fed page on Wikipedia itself also, that an e-fed typically lasts around a few months before disappearing into the void. As an e-fedder on and off for something like five years I think it is fair to say that the reason this is the case is that a lot of e-feds are poorly designed, poorly staffed and hardly dedicated institutions. I think that is also fair to argue that High Impact Wrestling is the opposite to these things as it maintains a stunningly professional etiquette resulting in, for a literate wrestling fan, outstandingly constructed shows.

The reason HIW deserves a Wikipedia page is because in a declining world of e-fedding it is, you must agree, a beacon. While it does not have 5000 members like a guideline might wish it did, it is a place that is worthy of note for the maybe hundreds of english-speaking e-fedders that exist and sift through the poor quality piles of feds. It is almost undeniably the only e-fed that can state it has been operating for five years and will not close down; that is has and is breeding writers through fair competition rarely seen in the e-fed world. In its context, High Impact Wrestling is the most notable of its breed.

I quote a colleague when I say if "E-wrestling itself deserves to have a Wikipedia page ... so does perhaps the most popular and detailed example of that hobby." Are the guidelines so tight to deny this logic?

  • Delete as per nomination. As an e-feder myself, I don't agree with adding e-wrestling articles (apart from e-wrestling itself) in what should be an encylopedia. It only leads to arguements over notability and self-promotion. --Oakster (Talk) 19:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • As an e-fedder, I should hope that you would be sympathetic to such a cause of this. After all, I presume that before you stated your objection you first viewed the forums, whereupon you as an e-fedder would certainly have had to realise that the overwhelming number of arguments already made in this particular cases defense are justification enough for the site to be granted representation herein. If the nomination to delete the pages is made purely on the basis of it causing "arguments" I would remind the protesting author that the discourses undertaken here are strictly discussions. I would further seek to remind the author that without such discussions, no protest could be made for those which rightfully deserve to be here. The absolutionist approach your nomination implies is most worrisome for a peer-edited encyclopaedia. Using the grounds of silencing those whose vase is legitimate for the sake of ease seems counterintuitive to the aims of the site.

  • Delete. Irrelevant, poorly-written, ego-stroking nonsense. McPhail 02:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • irrelevant? to what? to whom? you? isn't that subjectivity? and isn't the point of making wikipedia a user-maintained community to facilitate many perspectives on things? (this being a perfect example) and as for poorly-written, you should really read the material in question before making sweeping statements like that. I assure you that in HIW, some of the writers are quite exceptional in character-driven dialogue. you may disagree, you don't like it, fine, we all understand that. however there are plenty of people who do. does it harm you (or in fact, any single person in the whole universe) to allow these pages to exist? if the answer is yes I question your mental stability, if the answer is no then what the bloody hell are we arguing about? this whole campaign for deletion just strikes me as utterly arbitrary, as many often say "we weren't hurting anyone" metaphysical 00:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I take offense to poorly written. One would do well to actually read the arguments heretofore stated before questioning the quality of the writing with which the objectors state their side. Furthermore, it has not at any point been stated that the quality of writing on any page included on wikipedia must meet a certain 'verbose' criterion, though I am fairly sure that the current author could easily make such a bar. If I may draw your attention a fact earlier raised though not in the same context, it perplexes the current author how precisely one would go about stroking the ego of a fictional character. Equally, if only to match the pedantry of your objection, the page and its contents all make perfect sense. Any failure to percieve such sense would be surely the fault only of the protesting author. A quandry to state then that what is poorly written is beyond the protesting authors comprehension? Perhaps one should be more reserved with ones sweeping statements when first you decide to make them against a respectable and legitimate use of this page.

Rob

Personally, as an e-fedder, I feel this has a right to be here. And why? This is an encyclopedia, and this simply gives a clear view of what the word "conflict" is due to the commotion. It is a valuable information source. Also, to understand that Matt Essex is not real, people must have been reading to the bottom. This shows it has been made in a clear interesting manner and is a valuable information source to show the talents of e-fedders in a unique interesting way.

WP:WEB fail, possibly vanity page. rehpotsirhc 18:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, as it is neither a vanity page, nor does it fail WP:WEB. Criteria 1 of WP:WEB is "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." Mr. Cranky has been written about by Vanity Fair, the New York Times, and The Guardian, among others. It's been around since at least 1999. dirtside 19:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here. I can only find the Guardian article, and it clearly qualifies as trivial coverage under WP:WEB. rehpotsirhc 19:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Some quick searches turned up other newspaper stories about Mr. Cranky, one of which is here. Unfortunately, most old newspaper stories require payment to access, so it's hard to get enough details to verify whether or not it's "nontrivial." Although I would submit that being written about by the New York Times is essentially nontrivial by definition. Here's a set of audio interviews with Mr. Cranky (real name Jason Katzman) in Wired, although it's from 2000 and the MP3 links are broken. There seem to be a lot of other random brief articles and mentions, as well (Google "Jason Katzman" "cranky"); enough that I think the quantity would help make up for whatever "triviality" they possess.
What if the article was about Jason Katzman instead, or about Cranky-as-person rather than Cranky-as-website? There are plenty of far more trivial web-content-only articles on Wikipedia that have as much or less notability than Mr. Cranky (a number of webcomics, for example).

Dyson DC15[edit]

Reason why the page should be deleted Sturgeonslawyer 19:10, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm recommending this and several related articles for deletion as they seem to me to be advertisements for the products of the Dyson company. Prior to making this recommendation, I searched for articles about similar products, such as Hoover and Electrolux vacuum cleaners, to see if these articles were in line with Wiki community standards. They do not seem to be.

I stumbled upon this article by accident, playing with the "random article" button. The full list of articles I intend to recommend for deletion include the articles on the Dyson DC01, Dyson DC02, Dyson DC14, Dyson DC15, and Dyson G Force. If you believe these articles have valid content, please consider moving them to the Dyson (appliances) article, which will bring matters more in line with similar companies's products.

Why not just a "Products" section in the Dyson (appliances) article? I don't see enough non-advertising-like content on all five articles combined to warrant a full article on its own. Sturgeon's Lawyer

  • KEEP. This is the FIRST of a product type. Would we delete a page on the model T? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tolliver.4 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep. Some of these products have been "reproduced" by other manufacturers and a reference to the original model that was duplicated is important. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.69.235.51 (talk • contribs) .
  • Does anybody care to bet that those last two comments were not added by employees/officers of Dyson? Let's be clear: this is not a product with the historic value of the Model T.

But assuming for the sake of argument that it was, would the unsigned persons who made those comments object if we removed the other Dyson product articles--Sturgeonslawyer 23:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)?Sturgeon's Lawyer

The Beth Sallay Effect[edit]

The article claims to describe the phenomenon of a named woman who added fradulent filmography about herself to various online sources and had it propagate between sites that copied off each other. It purports to make a point about the reliability of internet information, but ironically it is itself completely unsourced. {{unsourced}} tags have been removed from the articles more than once, and the authors have been unable or unwilling to provide respectable sources for the claims in the article, despite repeated requests (see also the talk page). Delete per WP:V and WP:RS. Henning Makholm 19:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If you google as "Elizabeth Sallay" instead of Beth you do find a large number of entries for an "uncredited" performer in a variety of TV and film projects. Looks like IMDB has her cleaned out (they have a listing for her but no credits) but all sorts of other sites have her as a performer in all kinds of things. Fan1967 20:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just how do you think such results counts as respectable sources for the central claims in the article: that she (a) did not actually perform in these projects, and (b) herself fradulently added her name to various sources? Without verifiable sources, there is no telling whether this article is not just an attempt to defame an real bit part actor. Henning Makholm 20:32, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of anyone other than you claiming fraud... and that is a very serious legal charge. I'd be interested in your sources for the facts stated in the article being fraud if true. I've reread the article, and don't find any claim of fraud at all, much less as the central point. But the laws may be different in your country.
Keep. There is legitimate question of whether or not it is wikipedia material (as I have said before), however the reasons for the deletion (the facts being wrong) are bogus. IMDB cleaned her out because the credits were fake. I personally have [As Henning is very well aware] given a talk on the effect here last year. (By the way , my page here gives the reason that I didn't write a page on the effect, commentary that has been there since last year) But I don't think that there is any reaonable doubt that it was a hoax. (And obviously IMDB didn't think there was doubt either either.) And there is the common sense point that the filming of several of the movies were in geographic different areas at the same time... :) And a look at the parts Henning alleges may be some specific "real bit part actor" clearly don't look like each other. Disclaimer: I've been following the project for years with great humor, and know her personally, so my opinion is biased. Nahaj 03:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The facts may or may not be bogus. The problem is that they seem to be unverifiable. Can you provide any citations or publications to support the story? The fact that you know her personally and can personally vouch for the story does not qualify as a reliable source. - Fan1967 04:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think many people might regard it as notable, if it could be verified. Certainly we've seen a lot of suspicious "uncredited" credits on aspiring actors. Maybe if she can document and publish her results, the story would get picked up, and this could legitimately be recreated. Looks like it fails both notability and verifiability right now. Fan1967 16:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am obviously in favor of keeping it but I think the topic needs more research. I would like to get a response from some of the sites, and including imdb, who have plagarized this info and see their view but I doubt they would be willing to do so. I plan on doing a write-up and possibly posting it on Wikipedia again. FYI, if there is any doubt that I actually did this, yes, my name is uncommon so there isn't another 'Elizabeth Sallay'; actress I am attempting to libel.

Does the use of first person here indicate that BlueTrinity is the "Beth Sallay" of the article? If so, the article fails WP:OR as well as of [[WP:V]. Wikipedia is not a publication forum for original research. Henning Makholm 03:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Even if Bluetrinity is not Beth Sallay, her plan violates policy on Original Research. The way to go about this is to get the story published somewhere else first (Wired, Slate, etc); then an editor, not necessarily you, could cite that here. Wikipedia is a compilation/summary of things published elsewhere, not a publisher of original content. Thatcher131 15:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography on Imperial Japan and its colonies[edit]

There is no reason to believe that this is a breakout article of references. Looking at the April 14, 2005 version and the April 9, 2005 version of the Empire of Japan article, these references were not in that article. So this article is strictly a bibligoraphy. A collection of sources for someone who wants more information.Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Note that this article went through a previous AfD (or rather, a VfD) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bibliography on Imperial Japan and its exterior provinces and resulted in a no-consensus keep.

Michael Zarlengo[edit]

All of his information is veriviable. The publishing compnay and church are real. Check again.

I'm not questioning the factuality, I'm questioning the notability, and the fact that you shouldn't write articles about yourself, your friends, or your work associates, nor about books you wrote, or theological theories you invented. Clinkophonist 20:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reagrding the wikipedia entry I made, I am Dallas Theological Seminary student. I was aasigned to read these books, as well as other books on this topic. I also have done a study on the author, as a result I made the entries that are in fact notable.

Magnolia League[edit]

I was going to try to clean this article up but, reading through, realized the entire article is conjecture based on what the article readily admits is a failed attempt by a handful of student councils and if I deleted the crystall-ballism, there would be nothing left of the article. MagnoliaLeague.com, from which most of this is based, is a sort of hypothetical fantasy site which loudly states it's under construction. This seems like a semi-vanity article for promoting the premise of the Magnolia League, and perhaps the website, indirectly.

  • Keep this stub exists in the context of the article series covering Strauss and Howe's survey of historical generations, and is an extrapolation of the historical patterns they observe. WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball doesn't seem to apply, as the article discusses a verifiable scholarly work, rather than being original research.

Merge into Generations (book). Because all the articles in the American Generations series express the opinion of Strauss and Howe.

Cubs Mug[edit]

The article is about a prop (a coffee mug with a Cubs logo) named "Cubby" that appears in the series 24. The article was originally under Cubby, but a consensus was reached to merge the data with 24 and redirect there. Bucketsofg 22:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I know that it's a prop, but it is the only prop that has made continuous appearances on the show. Besides, what's really wrong with having a page about it? Does it really make that much of a difference? I mean, come on, there's pages here about characters that made a total of 3 appearances on the show and no one else seems to care. Is it really that much to ask of you to keep this page? tonyismyhero

John D'Agata[edit]

This article is a mixture of biography and likely slander. It might possibly be saved, but the subject may not be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. It was put up for speedy deletion, but this was contested on the discussion page. No vote. gadfium 22:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely think D'Agata should be considered "notable." He's simply a brilliant writer, and has made important contributions to creative nonfiction. At best, he's often credited with inventing the "lyric essay" (this isn't true; it's a form with a long tradition, but the fact that the misattribution is so prevalent [read a profile of him that doesn't mention it] is testament to his role in renewing the essay as literature. At worst, he's won major awards (a PEN) and regularly travels the country because he's in demand as a lecturer, workshopper, and general bright young thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.56.250.181 (talk • contribs) .

Soni's theorem[edit]

trivial observation; dubious name. If it could be demonstrated that this is a genuinely used name, I suppose the article could stay, though I'd probably suggest a merge to elementary algebra in that case. --Trovatore 22:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This "theorem" is something one would expect any high-school student to derive in a moment, and if they're at all mathematically inclined, one would expect them to have figured it out without ever having heard it mentioned. Some things that are simple and obvious deserve articles (e.g., the "law of trichotomy", because one can consider in which structures it holds and in which it does not, etc.). But this is not of that sort. Would the author of this article please tell us who "Soni" is? Michael Hardy 23:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is a rather simple observation, that contrary to the article author's claims, is in fact used widely outside of the Art of Problem Solving community. In fact, it is a most basic theorem of arithmetic progressions. The fact that it was used in a Duke Math Meet is not notable. Nor is the fact that I derived this theorem years ago and used it in a class. Perhaps most importantly, I have studied number theory (formally and informally), and I have never run across this fact being referred to as "Soni's theorem". Perhaps Soni was some ancient mathematician who stated this theorem somehow without the benefit of say, mathematical symbols, or in any case, long enough ago that this was some kind of breakthrough. But I doubt it. --C S (Talk) 23:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If anything, the formula appears to be a definition of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. In fact, the very first equation of the current version of arithmetic sequence is barely distinguishable from the formula given here. Dmharvey 23:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: It is actually a list of dictionary terms, each needs their own Wiktionary article.

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide. Wikipedia articles are not:

  1. Dictionary definitions. Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, please do not create an entry merely to define a term. An article should usually begin with a good definition; if you come across an article that is nothing more than a definition, see if there is information you can add that would be appropriate for an encyclopedia. An exception to this rule is for articles about the cultural meanings of individual numbers.
  2. Lists of such definitions. There are, however, disambiguation pages consisting of pointers to other pages; these are used to clarify differing meanings of a word. Wikipedia also includes glossary pages for various specialized fields.
  3. A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide. Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., should be used. We aren't teaching people how to talk like a Cockney chimney-sweep. However, it may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to describe just how a word is used in order to distinguish among similar, easily confused ideas, as in nation or freedom. In some special cases an article about an essential piece of slang may be appropriate.

  • Keep - It covers not just terms but also elements of strategies, various glitches, and things of the like; it probably should be expanded to something like "fighting game general terms and strategies" though... right now as far as stuff like strategy content goes, it's just the basic level of it all (IE things like wavedashing are generally used as parts of strategies, but alone aren't technically a "strategy"). In short: keep, but expand it to include more than just terms at the basic level... also try to keep it from game-specific examples, and more towards things that are common or are existant in a number of fighting games.

Deth[edit]

"deth" is misspelled "death", and means "I killed you"? Who would have thought... It looks like a dictionary definition to me. Austrian 23:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as unencyclopedic - non-notable and unsourced; likely unverifiable. Maybe, just maybe, you could Redirect to Death, but only if verified sources can be provided. Gwernol 00:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to death. You don't need sources for that (unless you want to merge it). CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 00:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
