Bucharest snobbery[edit]

POV title, nonsensical and not referenced content, I can't see how it would develop into an encyclopedic article. bogdan 17:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep if properly sourced and attributed. Alexander 007 17:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What remains will find a place elsewhere. There is the possibility that an article along these lines may return in the future. Alexander 007 08:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete completely nonsense article, unreferenced and POV. The whole article was made up out of frustration by a user well kown for his radical atitudes. Mihai -^talk 17:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the type of article you speedily delete. The fact is, the snobbery of many Bucharestians is a well-known thing. It is an inter-cultural phenomenon to be documented, but presented in NPOV with sources. Alexander 007 17:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the idiocy of George W. Bush is a "well-known thing". I don't think an article named George W. Bush idiocy would last long, even though it may be "well documented, presented in NPOV and with sources". bogdan 17:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bogdan, I didn't think the article would bother you that much. I mean, you're not a snob! ;))))))))) ;)))))) --Candide, or Optimism 23:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The title can be changed: "Perceived Bucharest snobbery". Think of something, Candide. The George W. Bush analogy is imprecise, as that involves an individual. Straw-man. Alexander 007 18:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Perceived US Presidential idiocy" is better? It does not involved one individual, but all the US presidents. :-) bogdan 18:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the analogy is improper, because we know who each individual U.S. president was; but here, it is a faceless, nameless mass---aside from some specific examples which may be brought forward. Alexander 007 18:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, this should be covered somewhere in Wikipedia, once the sources are brought forward, if not in this specific article. Maybe in Culture of Romania or something. Alexander 007 18:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a title like Bad Wallachians who want Moldavians to suffer would be more accurate for the current content of the article Anonimu 18:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, screw this article. I think what remains can be discussed in Culture of Romania. The common perception of Bucharestian snobbery is an actual thing, and I don't like snobs from Bucharest, baby. Alexander 007 18:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete will never satisfy NPOV in any way. (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Title is inherent POV. If anything can be documented/salvaged, put it in Bucharest. --King of All the Franks 18:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A POV-pushing article, like the title signalises. The wider topic of the relationship between Bucuresti and the rest of Romania could be a part of the main Bucuresti article, if other users feel that it's so important to mention this. Anclation 19:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: wrong title etc. Some bits of history may be salvageable by a knowledgeable person. Pavel Vozenilek 21:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or speedy delete. OR and POV fork. The topic, if any sources can be found for it, should be discussed in the Bucharest article. -- Nikodemos (f.k.a. Mihnea) 08:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the article talks about a phenomenon that it very subjective. Such discussions - of folkrolic-like attitudes of certain people from certain cities, can never be verified by sources and don't really belong at Wikipedia because every person has a different point of view on the issue.

I'm a bit curious about that myself. When you say "all upcoming movies", does that include movies for which there is no available information about cast, director, writers, plot, or anything else that an encyclopedia entry about a movie would normally include?

Cast of RENT (film)[edit]

Everything in this article is already in Rent (film); not worth creating a redirect since it's not a logical search string. keepsleeping quit your job! slack off! 00:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No reason to keep duplicate articles, cast list belongs in main article, not on its own. Mike _{(T C)} 00:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree, but they did chart under the name. If you want to delete it I have no problem, unless we can add the film to the list of "Dance Top 40 acts in United States" as a category, since "Seaons of Love" is currently charting on the Hot Dance Airplay chart.

Delete. The cast has no reason for its own article, unless they all were discovered to be extraterrestrials or something crazy like that (I'm not seeing that on the article, though).

Vár[edit]

huh, I did not think I have to make a vfd for a simple redirect, sometimes WP is way too bureaucratic :-) anyway, the reasons I wanted this to be deleted are these: 1) the name vár simply means castle in Hungarian; the current redirect (leading to only 1 castle) is inaccurate, there should be at least a disamb page or a "List of castles in Hungary" page, but there are hundreds of castles and castle ruins in Hungary, and right now I don't see any chance that the majority of them will have articles soon (there are articles about 3, I think); 2) it's not likely anyone will search for a Hungarian term in an English wikipedia; as far as I know English names are preferred.

sorry if this is the wrong page to vfd it, or if I messed something up, I'm still a beginner at this :) Alensha 00:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The Gothcore article was deleted after this discussion, where it was agreed by almost unanimous consensus that the Gothcore genre was original research. The article proudly claimed minimal mainstream notability, was subject to heavy vandalism along the lines of the eternal "We're Goth / No you're not, you're posers" debate, and no WP:MUSIC-conforming bands (according to their websites and Wikipedia articles) claimed to belong to the "gothcore" 'genre', most promoting themselves as hardcore punk or metalcore. -- Saberwyn - 02:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delicetese[edit]

Hoax, as far as I can tell; Deliceto is a real place, but Delicetese gets less than 10 Google hits, and some of the definitions seem absurd. Delete. Catamorphism 01:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I tried a number of different ways to find out anything about it through Google, with no luck. Only Google hits are references to this article, word-for-word, and one use on a foreign language page which I'm pretty sure is a misspelling of "delicatese". As a former Toronto resident it isn't familiar at all. - Dharmabum420 01:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Darn, I just edited this one today. No reason to keep it though. — Moe ε 03:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My guess it that it's not a hoax. The official page of Deliceto [2] mentions a kind of pasta called pzzedd while Delicetese has "pzed - homemade pasta". --Cam 17:37, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More evidence that they talk this way there: this page says that standard Italian domani "tomorrow" is cra in the variety of the Pugliese dialect spoken in the province of Foggia, where Deliceto is. Dopo domani " the day after tomorrow" is pscra. Compare the Delicetese's crεy and pskrεy (disclaimer: my knowledge of Italian is too low to put it-1 on my user page, but I know a few words and my Spanish helps). --Cam 17:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete: As the primary author of this article, I can definitively state that Dr. Wile is quite notable inside the Christian homeschooling community. His textbooks are used by many families as their means of science instruction, and easily reaches an audience greater than 5,000 people (as per Wikipedia's "notoriety" policy). If his significance as an author is related to the number of textbooks he has published, there are currently ten; including three Advanced Placement courses. And lastly, I can assure you that this article is not autobiographical. :-) LAATi88 18:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article was made by the creater of the game himself, Metafox. He also made an article about himself (Mickey McMurray) and his own company (Cyberdog_Castle). It seems all these articles are just self-promotion. S Sepp 22:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with posting articles about your own projects when all of the information is relevant? The rules of wikipedia state that creating a page about yourself and your projects are unorthodox, but that it is allowed when the information is relevant. I am a programmer, I started Cyberdog Castle, and I programmed and sold this game in 1995. As was said before, this is an actual product, so why should it be removed?

Delete, real but non-notable product. There are literally millions of software "products", most of which have been discussed only in press releases and catalogs. It's a BBS door game; so what? Did it revolutionize BBSes or shape the evolution of game software? Did major media cover it widely? I'll change my vote to "Keep" if evidence of "yes" answers is provided. (Article doesn't even claim any notability, let alone demonstrate it.) Shareware almost never meets WP's inclusion criteria. Announced future releases of games with an old title never meet WP's inclusion criteria. Barno 23:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It did include some gameplay features that were not available in any product before it (as far as I know) - the ability to control the gameplay when the last boss was defeated, and thus directly influence the experience of players who were at a lower experience level than yourself. MetaFox 23:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as cruft. Most of the information in the article was directly copied from here. Even though the article was written by the owner of that company, SotER is not directly worthy of a Wikipedia mention.

Comment. This game also garners 0 results from Google Groups (USENET). The only person that has talked about this on the whole of the web, USENET, and probably the internet (from what can be gathered) is the creator.

  - As I was a part of that, thanks. Although while working on it I started wondering if maybe this should just be a subsection of Irish diaspora. I added a bit about unique historical properties of Catholicism in Ireland itself to differentiate from that some, and there are other differences. So I guess not as "Irish Catholic" is in an odd sense an ethnicity as much as a religious term. I remember some Irish-American movie where the Dad smacked his kid for saying something about Catholicism and the kid said "But Dad you're an atheist" and in response the Dad said "Just because I stopped believing in God, doesn't mean I stopped being an Irish Catholic" or some such.--T.

Keep. Again, remeber what it was here in first palce. The Nicolaus Copernicus article was frequently subject of constant revert wars. Moving the whole nationality issue into subarticle was thought as a way to save the Nicolaus Copernicus article from revert wars, summarise the arguments for and against "Polish" or "german" instead of cluttering the page.

Comment This article is basically a nationalist argument, please keep arguments to talk pages. If a subject is not agreed upon amongst experts, an encyclopedia article is not the place to list every single piece of opposing evidence, you should just summarise the disagreement. Arniep 14:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Material needs to appear in the copernicus article. It makes no sense to have an article of this sort as a result of a compromise between warring factions on Copernicus. Instead, they need to reach a consensus. --Pierremenard 11:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I closed the original AfD as "no consensus". This time I vote delete. JIP | Talk 18:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is just a talk page thread given its own article; the only result of splitting it out is to give the various POV pushers even more space for their bickering. OK, that's a bit extreme; even so, the article as it stands is quite good enough. There is no problem saying he was born in the town of Thorn in what is now Poland but was then part of Prussia. Or something. It's mostly revisionism anyway. I recommend that they rename it Peachblossom Island and have done with it. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 22:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe "Peachblossom Island" would be as toponymic a settlement in the case of a native of Toruń (Thorn) as it was in the case that you linked. Better idea, though, than Solomon's compromise in 1 Kings 3:15-28. Barno 23:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting idea, Solomon's compromise. Please change the beginning of the Copernicus article to his well known latin name and declare him "Half Polish, half German" (or the other way around, in alpabetical order). Currently it says "Mikołaj Kopernik ... Polish" which is hardly a compromise.--Matthead 01:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I applaud your creative use of ellipses. The article currently says Mikołaj Kopernik ..., more commonly known by the Latin form Nicolaus Copernicus, was an... astronomer, mathematician... He is now usually described as being Polish. Which from my experience is accurate. Every single mention of him that I've come across in English, calls him a Polish astronomer. --BadSeed 11:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that calls to mind an interesting idea: I have at home Robert Gunther's reproduction of the papers of Robert Hooke, who would undoubtedly have referenced Copernicus.

- Retracted vote after consideration of Matthead's comment below. Theoretically the various language Wikipedias are supposed to be one thing in a choice of languages, not sources of substantially different content. If the "pl" and "de" wikipedias have documented a real controversy that extends beyond a couple of nutcases, and legitimate references can show its importance outside purely local talk and WP and mirrors, then the "en" version should have at least a bit of encyclopedic overview. I agree with nominator that such "controversies" are not generally WP material. Barno 02:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This issue seems to have a centuries-old history and it's very unlikely that Wikipedia can finally solve it in a way that makes everybody happy - or is everybody happy yet? Trying to ignore the problem by deleting the separate nationality article moves the battle back into the main article or its talk were it is even uglier. There's a separate article in Polish Wikipedia as well as in the German. The best solution is to make and keep the Copernicus article itself nice, neutral and calm, and to sort out the nationality article rather than erase it. This seems to be unacceptable for at least two persons, though - my attempt to put some structure to it was tagged utterly pointless and rewarded by this deletion tag. There are already examples in history where attempts for deletion were considered "the Final solution" ... --Matthead 01:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Uh-oh, does this trigger Godwin's Law? Barno 02:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I note Matthead is German, and the article is basically about whether Copernicus was German or Polish. Wikipedia, an encyclopedia, does not exist to pronounce what is correct and what is not. I don't think what nationality Copernicus is or was is something absolutely fundemental to why he is notable as a person, therefore there should not be a separate article on the subject. Arniep 10:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looks like a personal essay. There's been some revert wars on Nicolaus Copernicus about the topic. An NPOV account of the dispute could be written there (if anyone is feeling brave), but this stuff is too poor to be merged. --BadSeed 10:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete. The final tally was 42 delete, 18 keep, 11 merge.

Even if I had kept them, we'd have 43–25, or 63% delete. Also note that most merge votes were "merge or delete." This really should be a merge IMHO, which should satisfy the inclusionist bloc who don't want to see the content deleted. Really, we're talking 44Kb for a list of people? The vote stacking also really disturbs me. I noticed that a number of the people in the inclusionist bloc all voted on the same AfD discussions, all right in a row, which strongly implies they were here only because of their wikiphilosophy (still, I didn't discount their votes). howch e ng {chat} 18:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's relevant to his vote, which had a rational about the notability of the school but suggested renaming it, which strongly suggests he thought he was voting on whether there should be any article about it at all. The other lists aren't relevant because if we take out the deadwood (i.e., the red links and the links that are going to go red and the people only marginally connected to the mill), there's hardly anything left. Plenty of schools have a lot of notable graduates. The mill you're wasting your time at? Not so much. A.J.A. 22:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (strong) I don't see how this is necessary with the inclusion of notables on LBU's page. The discussion seems to be mostly reasonable peppered other than the personal attacks from the author. I would say that there would be vote stacking. I received notice of this from a email list headed by Jason Gastrich himself. If I could get a place to host I would be happy to post said email. To quote from that message:

"...Several weeks ago, JCSM (Jesus Christ Saves Ministries) noticed this trend and created a new ministry called Wiki4Christ. It's an organization that exists to make sure Christians have a united and represented voice on Wikipedia. As you may imagine, unbelievers also edit there and they actively try to silence Christian input and revert our contributions; especially Christian biographies! This is where we need you, now.

Yesterday, the entries below were nominated for deletion. This means there will be a vote on whether or not to keep them. Please come and let your voice be heard! This endeavor will only take 10-15 minutes and it will be something you can do with your online time that will further the kingdom of God. Wouldn't you like to vote to keep Christian entries on Wikipedia?..."

He goes on to give links to all of his articles that are noted for deletion. He also doesn't point out these articles are authored by himself. - I would say that this languaged is charged to skew voting.

Well established, accredited institutions usually do warrant a seperate list of notable graduates...Harvard, for example, is very likely to have a huge list of notable graduates which would be too long for the main article...but LBU's list (even if they are all truly notable) is short enough to fit fine into the main article.

Keep or merge with original article. This AfD appears to be in danger of going off-topic. This is suppose to be about whether or not the article is worth keeping, not about whether or not LBU is a "degree mill" or not, or the merits of accreditation, or other stuff this AfD is bringing up. Let's get back on topic, does this article deserve to exist? I say yes, why not, otherwise, we should begin removing other school's lists.

Comment: The quoted phrase from your post above, "or the merits of accreditation," is incorrect. Wikipedia is WP:NOT a directory of vanity. I agree with the merge, but Louisiana Baptist University is an unaccredited institution of higher learning and is not notable enough to deserve its own page for alumini. The only thing more ridiculous is that there are vanity biographies made of these non-notable people featured on the alumini. Finally, Jason Gastrich is making personal attacks and encouraging people who obviously do not know the entire situation to blindly support him via email. I am not criticizing Christianity, but this method of vote stacking is inexplicably ludicrous.

Comment: Upon reviewing the Wiki 4 Christ site, and its objectives, I have several comments to make. It is fine that you are creating this organization, but Wikipedia's vanity rules take priority over everything.

Sycthos ^Talk 02:00, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thanks for your comment. However, I disagree with you and I believe that some unaccredited universities deserve lists of people associated with them. For instance, Bob Jones University is unaccredited. Why shouldn't they have a list? The fact remains that there are many notable alumni and a list is a good thing to have, so they can be organized and, well, listed. The fact that they haven't sought government accreditation means little; especially in light of its alumni and academic requirements. --Jason Gastrich 02:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The LBU 1998 request by TRACS (the people who approved BJU) was denied-- this was explained once to you already on the LBU talk page. A discussion about the inquiry with Steve Levicoff [16] and the denial of the approval in 2000[17].

The search isn't working on my computer, but this article states that Bob Jones University has recieved accreditation. Sycthos ^Talk 02:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To be exact, they have candidacy status [18], which means they're in basic compliance with the standards. It's apparently a kind of probationary accreditation. IIRC, even before they were accredited BJU was considered to have one of the top accountancy programs in the country, which to my mind is enough to overcome the presumption that an unaccredited school is a mill.

Well, we could first remove anything from this list that wasn't WP:Verifiable from Wikipedia:Reliable sources. That would be the barest of minumums, and is absolutley beyond negotiation. We could then take the little (if anything) that is left and merge it into its parent article, probably deleting the redirect as useless. We could then have a bun-fight on the article's talk page about what is meaningful to keep, ending up with like four names.

Question Comment - How many people are here because Gastrich emailed all the inclusionists on the vain hope that you automatically vote to keep articles? An argument for delete can be made that should be acceptable to inclusionists - put the valuable intellectual content where it belongs, in the LBU article, and no content is lost.

I already did. Unlike Harvard, LBU is not as significant an institution of higher learning. Some schools warrant their own page of notable alumni simply because of the size of such a list. This page, on the other hand, can easily be included in the LBU article without any loss of content and therefore, by mergist principles, does not warrant a separate page. Will you try to hide your POV, like you say everyone but the two of us tries to do? -Harvestdancer 16:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do hide my own POV. And comparing the LBU to Harvard is nothing short of silly. They aren't even in the same league. The LBU is noteworthy in its own way. Its an american institution, which is why it listed on the english wikipedia. On the Swedish wikipedia, alot of small schools have their own entries. None complains. So no, thats not a good reason. There are no other articles with these names, so there's no name conflict. There's no nothing, except silly notions about the standard of education on the school.

However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias.

Mal Couch[edit]

This AfD process has been further disrupted by a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich (talk · contribs), Wiggins2 (talk · contribs). See his contributions: they consist almost solely of soliciting others to come to these AfDs and vote keep.

As a result of the serial disruption of AfD and other questionable behaviour, I have raised a user RfC on Jason Gastrich, see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jason Gastrich. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rebuttal: Everything above was posted to skew the voting and make people turn against me and bias their viewpoint of the nomination and the entry. It's a pretty sick tactic. It shows they care little about the actual strength of the entry; which should be the only thing considered. Since the "warnings" have been posted, some people have even said that they've voted only because of the alleged misconduct. Consequently, they and the people who are engaging in this witchhunt should be ashamed of themselves. They've done irreparable damage to their integrity and to Wikipedia. --Jason Gastrich 01:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You and half the people voting here are missing the point. This AfD isn't about you. It's about the entry. Defend the entry here, yourself at the RfC. - Jaysus Chris 04:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: This is not a speedy keep. A speedy keep can only happen if the article has had no delete votes and the nominator withdraws, or the nomination was in bad faith. Stifle 17:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Very prolific Christian author. Not what you or I would read, maybe, but many of his books are available in mainstream outlets (Amazon, Barnes & Noble). Also, a bit of research reveals him to be a media witness to the JFK assasination for added interest. - Jaysus Chris 05:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An added comment: Those concerning themselves with LBU or the entry's author are completely missing the point. This guy fulfils WP:BIO's guidelines for authors better than scores of authors who are included without a thought as to where their degrees came from. How can you deny his notability? Is it because he's a fundamentalist? They can be notable, too. - Jaysus Chris 08:14, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If he's writen stuff then he should at least have a little slice of wikipedia? I mean, Wikipedia is huge, everyone can have a share can't they? Everyone thinks that because he isn't in the news, that he shouldn't be included in wikipedia, the so called "sum of all human knowledge". But how do we know he isn't influencial? He effects hundreds with his words..... Further Note: I was brought here, like many others by Wiggins2, or as he wants to be called, "Wiggie". I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias. I ask everyone to not be drawn in with a strict "You're wrong, I'm right" situation, but be open & find a way to keep peaceful.... Spawn Man 04:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC).

Delete. Based on reading the links provided by Astrokey44, I'm not convinced that the Zio's in this article and the Zio's mentioned in the PMQ are the same. The Tulsa TV site says Mazzio's new chain is "Zio's Italian Kitchen" and the Mazzio's article doesn't mention any expansion into Nebraska (and the logos don't look anything alike). However, I can't see the Mazzio's web site because they won't code their Flash thing to work in FireFox and I'm on Win AS 2003 and can't get Flash to work in IE either. I'll change my vote if someone can verify it's actually the same. howch e ng {chat} 19:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the Mazzio's website shows no locations in Nebraska (FireFox v.1.0.3 worked for me); however, it is unclear whether that the location list is only for locations branded "Mazzio's" or whether it is inclusive of "Zio's Italian Kitchen" or "Zio's Italian Pizza" locations, which are owned by the Mazzio's company. Nevertheless, I don't think the Zio's in the article is related to Mazzio's, though, nor to the Zio's Pizza in Philadelphia [24]. -- Jonel | Speak 02:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

However, you are invited to participate and your opinion is welcome. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

Note: Comments may be tagged as follows: suspected single-purpose accounts: {{subst:spa|username}}; suspected canvassed users: {{subst:canvassed|username}}; accounts blocked for sockpuppetry: {{subst:csm|username}} or {{subst:csp|username}}.

This AfD process has been further disrupted by a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich (talk · contribs), Wiggins2 (talk · contribs). See his contributions: they consist almost solely of soliciting others to come to these AfDs and vote keep.

- Very untrue. The comments posted above were to question the strength of your argument, as per WP:SOCK it is prohibited to use a sockpuppet to create a illusion of a broader support for your side of the argument. Your "campaigning" comes from you and your sockpuppet, and you even admitted that you use sockpuppetry to aid yourself in AfD. Sycthos^Talk 05:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is a complete lie. I never admitted using sockpuppets to "aid myself in AfD"; nor have I ever done this, even when I did use sockpuppets in my first days in Wikipedia!
  - If you look at the history, an admin checked IPs and confirmed that I never did this to sway a vote and I still never have done this.
  - You need to get your facts straight and show that you care for the folks at Wikipedia. This atrocious lie/accusation at the top of many pages is inexcusable and I'd like an apology; and I think the good people that you may have influenced with this lie should receive an apology as well. --Jason Gastrich 04:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I acknowledge your attempts to evangelize Wikipedia, but your argument will not stand without a statement disputing against it. First of all, if your statements remain true, then why is Wiggins2 blocked 24 hours for "external campaigning group spamming talk pages to pack Wikipedia debates"? User:Big Daddy is another one of your main sockpuppets. If you look at its contribution history, there is no doubt that you have violated WP:SOCK for using sockpuppets to create an "illusion for a broader support" for your position.
    - I do not appreciate your constant and veiled use of euphemisms and words/phrases with a slightly more negative connotation when used against others. This is a complete lie is not correct, as you have, in fact, used sockpuppetry for AfDs. Also, I, in fact, do care for the folks on Wikipedia. If I didn't care, I would not even mind editing any mistakes I catch in articles, reverting and simple vandalism I see, or voicing my opinion in Wikipedia debates. I openly apologize to you if I have offended you, but I would also request you to conform to Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. Thanks. SYCTHOS ^talk 05:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A load of hits on Yahoo, too. Until we refine the search criteria. And even refining it gives us gems like this: Saint Thomas Ice Arena ...

Not quite. The correct search term is "thomas ice" christian which yields 21,700 hits. As anyone can prove, at least 25,000 of the 37,400 "Thomas Ice" hits are about this author. Probably many more, around 30,000. Even so, this does not mean "notable" to me... Actually, anyone with some knowledge of Christendom and eyes in his head (or fingers on his hand) can see that Thomas Ice is notable, both positively and negatively, to millions of people. OK, where notability is disputed, references can clinch it, but really, in this case it's like trying to prove apples taste good (218 Google hits). AvB ÷ talk 16:51, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 37,800 hits at Google, not nearly all of which are this person.

Keep many published books -- Astrokey44|talk 09:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, you weren't using your "fair eye" on the Mike Randall entry. You voted to delete because you said he was the president of a diploma mill. In fact, he is the president of a regionally accredited university. I hope you change your vote for that entry. --Jason Gastrich 21:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's "regionally accredited university" in the sense of "nationally un-accredited university" - i.e. diploma mill. Not that you have any conflict of interest, right? - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C]

I'm not sure that being on Amazon makes a book notable or mainstream. Many of the ones they sell are self published. David D. (Talk) 18:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Point. However, at least some of his books are with (albeit Christian) publishing houses (such as Harvest House, New Leaf). And he has written and/or edited with LaHaye who is a major figure in the dispensational fundamentalist movement. Ice may not be as notable as a Falwell but doesn't seem--to me at least--to be obscure either. I'd say he's "notable enough." Maybe I should say "weak keep?" Mark K.

With all due respect, two things. First, since the alleged vote stacking, there haven't been any votes to keep; just to delete. My alleged vote stacking simply asked four or five people to vote (not one way or the other). So, you being strongly influenced by that doesn't make any sense. Furthermore, voting one way out of spite isn't in Wikipedia's best interests, so I'm sure that'll be noted by many as well. Honorable Wikipedians will examine the entry and decide one way or the other. --Jason Gastrich 18:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Gastrich, allow me to say for myself, I am an Afd regular and I often vote to delete, not because I am a deletionist but because those doing the nominating usually have good reason. That said, I also do due diligence. I am very proud of having "saved" several articles, including a Russian folk song [26] and a truly tacky but notable drinking game [27]. I also chastise those whom I suspect of bad-faith nominations. I do not consider these bad-faith noms. It appears to me that you, as you cannot rewrite the article for LBU since it is protected, have decided to take another tack and make a list of people who went to LBU and write articles about them. While it is understandable that you would want to try to gain for your alma mater as much credibility as can be gleaned, filling the pages of WP with articles about people whose main claim to fame is that they got their diploma from the same place as you is vanity. You have compounded vanity with attempts at vote-stacking, and now with personal attacks[28][29] and accusations of "spite voting" which is nonsense in my case, and I believe in the case of every editor voting here. One puppy's opinion. KillerChihuahua^?!? 19:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In a way, the purpose of vote-stacking has been served -- a handful of people heard of the Frozen Thomas prior to this AfD, now scores of people have. Excellent PR work...or is that evangelizing? Self-promotion? Pride? (Oh, no, can't be the last, that's one of those sin things). Jim62sch 00:14, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (strong) I don't see how this is necessary with the inclusion of actual notables on LBU's page. The discussion seems to be mostly reasonable peppered other than the personal attacks from the author. I would say that there would be vote stacking. I received notice of this from a email list headed by Jason Gastrich himself. If I could get a place to host I would be happy to post said email. To quote from that message:

"...Several weeks ago, JCSM (Jesus Christ Saves Ministries) noticed this trend and created a new ministry called Wiki4Christ. It's an organization that exists to make sure Christians have a united and represented voice on Wikipedia. As you may imagine, unbelievers also edit there and they actively try to silence Christian input and revert our contributions; especially Christian biographies! This is where we need you, now.

Yesterday, the entries below were nominated for deletion. This means there will be a vote on whether or not to keep them. Please come and let your voice be heard! This endeavor will only take 10-15 minutes and it will be something you can do with your online time that will further the kingdom of God. Wouldn't you like to vote to keep Christian entries on Wikipedia?..."

He goes on to give links to all of his articles that are noted for deletion. He also doesn't point out these articles are authored by himself. - I would say that this languaged is charged to skew voting.

I think your analysis may be in error. Thomas Ice is essentially a nobody in the real world. He has a small cult following, and produced books of little or no value to anyone but those who share his rather unorthodox views. (This may seem harsh, but reality sometimes bites). In a way, what would really be best would be an article on "Inerrantist Writers" (or something like that) that mentioned Ice, but wasting kilobytes on this guy alone is a tad ridiculous.

Comment Um, no. You left your search open so that it caught books with "Ice Cream" in the title written by people with the first name "Thomas." Put quotes around the name and you get no more than 42. Many of which are translations of a single work, at least one is about Thomas Ice (et al), several are "pocket books," and the greater number he is a contributor to (as in an article or so), not the sole nor primary author. You have to be careful with Amazon searches. Particularly with names that have common words in them such as "Ice." Mark K. Bilbo 03:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

I think his point was that Amazon.com hits do not mean anything, with the implication that Vizcarra's link is useless. But that is putting the world on its head. Amazon is an extremely useful tool when checking out someone's publications. They list all titles they can deliver - new, used, Print on demand - anything. Thomas Ice has 42 hits on Amazon where he is listed as author, co-author, editor, or subject (yes - there are books by others ABOUT and AGAINST Thomas Ice's views). From there it is easy to check the publishers. One mouseclick away from the list linked by Vizcarra one can see the real publisher. What is easier, saying "Lulu" or clicking on a link?

I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias. I ask everyone to not be drawn in with a strict "You're wrong, I'm right" situation, but be open & find a way to keep peaceful.... Spawn Man 04:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC).

Prompt Schoolwatch (part of WP:SCH) to expand this article; if no progress shown soon, merge into Horseheads (town), New York. I live in Spencer, thirty or forty miles away from Horseheads, and there's nothing even regionally special about its high school beyond the extent to which the School Inclusionist Cabal finds every high school special. (I reluctantly agree for high schools, but not primary/middle schools.) This sentence contains three articles and three external links. Can more be added to distinguish HHS from a thousand other high schools and their stubs? Barno 00:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  - Now boys let's calm down :).Gateman1997 02:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Rob, the only "namecalling" was the tongue-in-cheek use of a phrase used in an earlier vote in the same AfD. Editors who spend much time on AfD get used to a few people making such accusations and the rest of us joking about them. The other 88 of my 91 words were a request for what WP policy requires for inclusion of any topic, rather than "Keep, school" being sufficient for a nearly empty article. Sorry if that proportion struck you as "the entire extent of (my) thought process". Barno 02:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - "School Inclusionist Cabal" can of course be interpreted as a violation of WP:CIVIL. Tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic, and other facetious comments are often misinterpreted in this medium, and its easy to accidentally misconstrue words as personal attacks. However, Cyde Weys has thus far not been admonished for his usage of this term over quite a number of AfD nominations. I believe that discounting an entire argument because of a brief tongue-in-cheek comment, with much precedent - therefore obvious as to its intent, is unfair. Since Barno has apologized for the fact that the comment offended you, I think it's fair to give his comment the weight it deserves, whatever the vote. -Rebelguys2 04:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Cyde Weys. Current precedent is to keep high schools. -Rebelguys2 04:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as this appears to meet the criteria established by WP:SCH, although it could use some expansion. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 04:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SCH. Some work on references may be needed though. Also, can somebody familiar with this tell, if this school is related to the one of the same name/place with a graduating class in 1888? [35] [36]. Perhaps one school was built, torn down, and entirely new largely unrelated one built later. Or maybe it was a a continuation of the same institution, but a different building (as is often the case with some schools, for which we discuss all buildings in one article). Since this is speculation on my part (aka unverified) I obviously didn't mention it in the article. As for merge suggestions, I suggest, that since the district has exactly one high school, and we merge to districts (if possible), any merger be done to *this* article. That is if any elem substubs are made, they be merged/redirected here, rather then merging/redirecting this elsewhere. --Rob 05:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

The FBC[edit]

Looks like an NN internet radio station Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 05:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is an internet radio station (sorry don't know what NN means) however it is part of the fur fandom something rarely understood or with alot of misunderstanding surrounding it. Has over 250 official listeners and a team of more than 15 people working on it including myself. It is played during Fur Cons and has it's own line of merchendise... surely this makes it notable (and considering people keep asking me about it having a wiki for it is considerably easier than having to tell people over and over). It is currently incomplete however and people are planning to come and add to it over the next few days. If you give us a chance to complete it before you delete every new article it might prove to be of some use. TornadoCreator^T/_C\^@ 05:48, 18 January 2006

- "NN" is shorthand for "non-notable", indicating that the nominator believes the article os unsuitable for an encyclopedia entry. I suggest you review the Wikipedia inclusion guidelines at WP:WEB, to see if yout internet radio station passes the required marks to warrant inclusion. No Vote. -- Saberwyn - 05:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's not notable enough online yet however it has a following offline as well as it is played during conventions such as Anthrocon and Eurofurence both of which have a large turn out which would in turn make the radio station associated with the cons notable.

Grant Jeffrey[edit]

Obscure, non-notable writer. This AfD process has been further disrupted by a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich (talk · contribs), Wiggins2 (talk · contribs). See his contributions: they consist almost solely of soliciting others to come to these AfDs and vote keep.

As a result of the serial disruption of AfD and other questionable behaviour, I have raised a user RfC on Jason Gastrich, see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jason Gastrich. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rebuttal: Everything above was posted to skew the voting and make people turn against me and bias their viewpoint of the nomination and the entry. It's a pretty sick tactic. It shows they care little about the actual strength of the entry; which should be the only thing considered. Since the "warnings" have been posted, some people have even said that they've voted only because of the alleged misconduct. Consequently, they and the people who are engaging in this witchhunt should be ashamed of themselves.

comment the number of nominations by the editor is irrelevant to the issue. Mark K. Bilbo 19:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment by "11 million Google hits" you must mean about 19K right?.

Keep, per the persuasive commentary of Jaysus Chris. If the original author or the editors of a piece bothered to make the case for notability as he has done, rather than whine about deletions, complain about imaginary "vandalism," and recruit or post "keep" votes that say nothing more than "very notable" or "clearly notable," there would probably be fewer of these AfDs. Two more things: You get 11,000,000 hits if you don't know how to use a search engine. The fact is that, even if you properly search for "Grant Jeffrey" and include the quotes, you get just over 45,000 and, by the third page, you're running into lots of other people with the name, or identified as "Grant, Jeffrey." If you just type "Grant Jeffrey" in the search field without the quotes, you get every page that Google can find with either word or both words. One would think that one whom considers himself a web host and web page designer would know that. Second, there is no reason to disparage the editor on the subject of "good faith" simply because he has nominated several of Gastrich's articles for deletion. Jeffrey's reputation as "very notable" seems to occur only within a small segment of Christendom. By and large, the majority of Christians are either unaware of him or pay him no mind. - WarriorScribe 05:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got two identical emails from Jason Gastrich through Wikipedia. You can make up your own mind as to whether this qualifies for meat-puppetry or stacking the vote. Here's the email. --Cyde Weys 16:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)"[reply]

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

Thats insinuating bullshit. There is nothing wrong with alerting users to the fact that a bunch of delete-wannabies are attacking articles and demanding they get deleted without having any good reasons at all for the delete except the POV rantings of a guy that for some reason got to be an admin. Itake 01:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Itake, that is "meatpuppetry" at its finest. As for the complaints about the admin, we're right back to Argument by insinuation. I also received the same email, and frankly felt it was in bad faith--skirting the edges of honesty. Stow the complaints and cut the foul language. The article has been nominated: let the nomination take its course without raising personal issues. Justin Eiler 01:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meatpuppetry would be the user having all his friends register and then vote. ENLIGHTENING other wikipedian users about this problem is in no way meatpuppetry. The one who raised personal issues here was Cyde, accusing the author of using multies and cheating. That's bad, and it needs a counterreaction. There is nothing dishonest about that mail, not in one place does the author of the letter tell a lie or similar. He doesn't even tell, he doesn't even ENCOURAGE people to vote "Keep". Not meatpuppetry in any way, if you are going to continue accusing him of meatpuppetry you need to present a convincing argument for it. Otherwise it will only be a continuation of the lies and slander you people are already throwing the author. Itake 01:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, are you serious? What, precisely, do you think(?) this means? "I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion.

Abstain with preference to merge. The article is very small & the article's subject is very unnotable. Although I would probably choose fixing rather than deletion, I have no real concern if it's delted or kept. I have no opinion. Therefore, I abstain. Further Note: I was brought here, like many others by Wiggins2, or as he wants to be called, "Wiggie". I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias. I ask everyone to not be drawn in with a strict "You're wrong, I'm right" situation, but be open & find a way to keep peaceful.... Spawn Man 04:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC). BTW, I hope my vote isn't discounted, I count myself as a influencial editor...[reply]

The only reason so many Christian articles were nominated in a big batch like this is because they were all created by the same user in a short period of time, and on non-notable people (or at least not notable enough to need their own article, I do think that some should certainly be highlighted in the main article of the institution they are connected to). This seems to be done with the intention of promoting an institution that the user is affiliated with, and not because the subjects of the articles are actual notable enough to warrant a dedicated article. The fact that they are Christian is coincidence. I would get the same reaction if I suddenly decided to create a batch of articles for all the instructors who taught at the photography school I went to (granted, some of them are quite notable, but many are not notable enough to warrant a dedicated article). bcatt 04:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh...maybe I should take a break from my usual wikianderings and do a bunch of articles on my school and it's faculty and alumni just so many of those will also be voted for deletion, just so I can show that these deletions aren't religiously biased. The most ridiculous part is that the ones screaming religious bias are the ones creating religiously biased articles...it is no more wrong to want to delete an article because it is religious, than it is to want to create an unnecessary article for promotionally religious purposes - they are almost the same thing. Wikipedia is not the place to debate or try to prove which is the "one true religion", it is a place to describe all the different types of religion from a completely NPOV. bcatt 05:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very Strong Delete. If people want to keep this article because he is a provost, I should point out EVERY DEPARTMENT in EVERY UNIVERSITY has a provost.

Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

However, you are invited to participate and your opinion is welcome. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

This AfD process has been further disrupted by a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich (talk · contribs), Wiggins2 (talk · contribs). See his contributions: they consist almost solely of soliciting others to come to these AfDs and vote keep.

Rebuttal: Everything above was posted to skew the voting and make people turn against me and bias their viewpoint of the nomination and the entry. It's a pretty sick tactic. It shows they care little about the actual strength of the entry; which should be the only thing considered. Since the "warnings" have been posted, some people have even said that they've voted only because of the alleged misconduct. Consequently, they and the people who are engaging in this witchhunt should be ashamed of themselves. They've done irreparable damage to their integrity and to Wikipedia. --Jason Gastrich 01:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Very untrue. The comments posted above were to question the strength of your argument, as per WP:SOCK it is prohibited to use a sockpuppet to create a illusion of a broader support for your side of the argument. Your "campaigning" comes from you and your sockpuppet, and you even admitted that you use sockpuppetry to aid yourself in AfD. Sycthos ^Talk 05:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Editor's number of deletion nominations is not an indicator of bad faith simply because it bothers another editor.

You're right...I was a tad hasty in writing the comment and left off some stuff. Assuming that the information in the article is correct, I think that it's possible that Weaver is trying to turn LBU into a more reputable institution. His policies probably had a hand in student growth. Mind you, personally, I still think it's a diploma mill, but less because they sell diplomas and more because they don't really educate anyone. If he had as much to do with the rewriting of the minimum educational standards for Ohio Christian schools, that might qualify, along with his presiding over a pretty significant growth of the Gospel Music Network. All of those things together might be reasonably notable, if true. It's just occurred to me, however, that if someone wrote those kinds of things about someone Gastrich didn't like, he'd demand a "citation." We've seen that enough times. If Gastrich doesn't like or doesn't agree with the comments or information, he demands citations, yet posts most of his claims about his personal heroes without providing much in the way of proof. There are no citations for any of the claims about Weaver. I'm convinced. Dump it. - WarriorScribe 02:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it is kept for that reason it should be merged with LBU. Afterall other than LBU's link at the bottom there are no sources. As for the place where he got 3 out of 4 of his non-LBU related degrees (Baptist Christian University is LBU), do a search for that school, "Eastern Baptist Institute." That will tell you something about this person. As for the Korean awards, ect. there are no sources. The claims about his church are uncited. Outside of the figures LBU gives we don't know how many people this guy is notable to. More importantly if LBU barely escaped its own deletion, why should its "President" who has 5 unaccredited degrees, unknown books/readers and uncited awards get his own. Yes, it is important to have some facts about the "President," but if this article is only to be a selling point for LBU/LBU related, relevant facts should be merged the rest deleted. ---Filler — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.5 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 20 January 2006

He's not listed in the catalog of the Library of Congress, and the only two books by a "Neal Weaver" listed on Amazon both seem unlikely.

Strong Keep - The Neokid Talk 09:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

Keep. I was brought here, like many others by Wiggins2, or as he wants to be called, "Wiggie". I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias. I ask everyone to not be drawn in with a strict "You're wrong, I'm right" situation, but be open & find a way to keep peaceful.... Spawn Man 04:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any evidence that the university where he is president is a diploma mill? I saw pictures of their campus and students. There are degree requirements unlike diploma mills. By the way, you said Mike Randall was the president of a diploma mill and he's actually the president of a regionally accredited university. Therefore, your claims need evidence because you've been wrong once, today.

OK, I've done a little digging. FWBCC has a website, but it's just an empty front page with a group photo of the '05/'06 student body.[55] There are 78 people in the photo (some of which may be teachers rather than students), which would make this a very small school. According to this page, which can be accessed through an open directory on that page, the college was founded in 1983 and is "an inseparable part of FaithWay Baptist Church in Ajax, Ontario". Their undergrad application is here (PDF), and their grad application is here (also PDF). For the undergrad app, it doesn't look like they require a diploma or GED. As for credentials, this page on the site of the "Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials" states that they are a "Private Non-Profit Institution Recognized under a Private Act" (specifically, the "FaithWay Baptist College of Canada Act, 1992"). The definition for this is on the right-hand side of the page, and it implies that they are not accredited in the way we have been using the term, which would require categorization as either a "Recognized Institution" or a "Postsecondary Institution Authorized to Offer Specific Credentials". Basically, from what I can tell, they're the religious equivalent of a vocational academy, run within within Greg Baker's church. -Colin Kimbrell 15:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a private for-profit technical training school of unknown enrollment numbers, the university of which he is supposedly a board member appears not to exist, his Ed. D comes from an unaccredited university (and is reportedly honorary anyway) - the whole thing stinks of rotting fish. Add to that the evidence of vote-packing by the article's creator and sole editor and the fact that the same person created a whole bunch of articles in a short period on people who had all managed to escape the world's notice despite the vigortous claims to notability now expressed, all of whom are associated with a single unaccredited university - now that calls into question good faith. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C]

This isn't a university. It doesn't even claim to be one. ACMT accreditation details: Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology, Occupational Education (NDCS) - Private nondegree-granting institutions that are predominately organized to educate students for trade, occupational, or technical careers - in other words, it's an occupational training school which trains NMR techs (something whihc is done on the job over here). These are two-year non-degree courses, and there is no indication of numbers. It is fair to be sceptical of an instution whose principal claims an Ed. D which turns out to come from an unaccredited university - and which is, in any case, reportedly honorary.

Comment: The federal accreditation listing says that it has 436 students, or around 200 in a typical graduating class. It's not a four-year degree program, but it does have admissions standards: a requirement for a high school diploma or GED for all programs, and additional certification or outside course credit requirements for specific programs (such as R.N. certification or 30 semesters' worth of college-level credits in natural sciences).[57] Also, US Rep Maxine Waters accused them of deceptive business practices in sworn testimony in 2005.[58] Given that last bit, I'm unsure how I feel, and am changing my vote to Neutral.-Colin Kimbrell 00:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Please see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Personal_websites_as_primary_sources. The information on Mr. Kim's website is so vague as to be unusable, and there are no independent online sources for the information. If you have another citation to offer, please provide it; otherwise, we have no choice but to continue to treat this information as unverifiable. -Colin Kimbrell 16:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you prove it wrong? No. Thousands of wikipedia articles are built using info primarily for personal sites. I don't see you rushing to delete them. Again, I suspect this is purely POV against christianity on your part. The site is a good enough source. Itake 16:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm generally inclined to cut some slack on unverified information, as it's often verifiable but unsourced due to laziness on the part of the writer. The mention in this article, however, doesn't even include the name of the award being awarded. Without any context whatsoever, the information is of no value. As for the POV allegation, you're welcome to think what you want, but a POV-pusher who votes Neutral about deleting the article he's supposedly persecuting isn't doing a very effective job of pushing his POV, is he? -Colin Kimbrell 16:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Also, in reference to your "Can you prove it wrong?" challenge, you may want to (re)read WP:V#When_adding_information. The very first sentence of that policy states, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit.".-Colin Kimbrell 16:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, and he gave evidence with the first edit. If you don't LIKE that evidence, then thats too bad.

No, it does qualify as sufficient evidence. The website is the primary source of information for article. Itake 16:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Can you please cite an example of a WP policy or guideline supporting your claim? The example I cited states that when using information from a personal website, it is necessary to "...proceed with great caution and...avoid relying on information from the website as a sole source. This is particularly true when the subject is controversial..." Mr. Kim's personal website is the sole source, and the information it purports to verify is plainly controversial, as evinced by this AFD. -Colin Kimbrell 16:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your WP policy link is sufficient enough. The page is controversial because the guy who put these pages up for deletion doesn't like the school. Not because the page lacks information. Now we've got two sources, his personal page and another page. We've even got pictures. There's enough proof, if you want this deleted you better start trying to prove that all this information is indeed false. Itake 18:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Untrue. Another source for this information is the ACMT's site. There is probably more information in the Korean-speaking world, although I don't know the language. - 17:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC) The Great Gavini ^{lobster telephone}

Comment:The ACMT site doesn't qualify as an independent source, since the ACMT site is also owned and operate by Mr. Kim. We need something like an official government list of honorees, or a newspaper article covering the ceremony. -Colin Kimbrell 17:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greatgavini and Itake are you this trusting of source material for all the articles you edit? Or is it just the Christian ones? You accuse those of us that think these are poor sources of POV and yet you seem blind to the fact that many of the claims in the article are not easily verifiable according to wikipedia research standards. The rationale that other articles in wikipedia use similar poor standards of verification is not valid since in those cases they too should not use such sources. David D. (Talk) 19:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it does strenghten the POV claim because I don't see you crawling all over those articles. While the articles related to this school all got up for deletion a few moments after they were created. Again, alot of evidence proving that this article is right has been presented yet you can't amount to anything but unvalidated claims that all these sites must be lying. Itake 19:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying the article is lying. I am saying it is written from a POV perspective and is as yet, not verifiable. Plus he seems relatively unnotable from a religious perspective. These are viable reason to delete. You may disagree, thats fine, and thats why we have AfD. Also it is true i was not crawling all over the artcile, who was? Is that a reason i cannot vote in AfD? I was however involved in the discussion on the LBU page that spawned all these unnotable alumni pages. At the LBU talk page there is a circular argument being presented that justifies the inclusion of people as notable alumni based on the fact they have a page in wikipedia. Yet that page was created by the very person making the argument. This is bad faith editing and these article deserve to be judged by the community. Personally i find them remarkably unnotable. David D. (Talk) 19:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If you look at my contribution history, you'll see that when the verifiability of a fact is questioned, I take steps to verify it. If it's verifiable (as with Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/BEML, to cite one example), I add the citations and confirm it. If it's not (as with this article), I note that fact as well. You seem to be remarkably quick to assume bad faith on the part of people who disagree with you. -Colin Kimbrell 19:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then NPOV tag it Daycd. And if you want to continue this discussion, come up with a good reason for deletion. "Unnotable" is not a valid argument when we are talking about a guy who has recevied awards from the major of seoul. I'm quick to assume bad faith in a situation like this, where people want articles deleted for no good reason at all. Itake 19:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But my argument was "notability is not verifiable". And that is still the case. David D. (Talk) 20:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But it is verified. The sites verified it, and the primary source was a personal site. It was backed up with other sites, including pictures. Itake 20:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The pictures are from the same personal site, so they don't count as an extra reference. They're also suspect because we haven't yet been able to determine exactly what's going on in the photos (since the descriptions are in a foreign language no-one here can read). -Colin Kimbrell 21:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It's a valid argument if the awards in question do not meet the encyclopedia's standards for verifiability. His position as the head of ACMT is a much stronger branch to hang a case on, if you're inclined to keep, since it's easily verified and documented.-Colin Kimbrell 20:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With the ACMT, no its not a valid argument. And is pictures not enough to verify those claims. What exactly are the standards? Itake 20:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The pictures might or might not help. I've got a request for translation of the captions up on the RFT page, and I dropped a note on the talk page of User:Yonghokim, who voted in this AFD and self-identifies as a native speaker of Korean. If the caption lists which award is being given, that'd be a starting point toward finding a citable print source. If they say something like "receiving award from mayor" and we can identify the mayor from an outside photo, I'd probably also count that as partial confirmation. As they are right now, they're just pictures of a guy handing a folder to another guy. We'll have to wait and see.-Colin Kimbrell 20:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If anyone in this thread can read Korean, can you please translate the following phrases?: "상공장관 표창" and "서울시장표창장수여식". Those are picture captions to several photos in his web site, which might be Mr. Kim receiving awards.[60] Google's translation service lists them as "Skies minister ticket window" and "Seoul market ticket window market presentation ceremony", respectively, and as a wild guess I think something's getting lost in machine translation. There's also a picture of him receiving a "UN Award", but the res isn't high enough to read the lettering on the certificate.-Colin Kimbrell 18:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
상공 장관 표창 = Medal of Honor, awarded by the Ministry of Trade and Industry

서울 시장 표창장 수여식 = Ceremony Awarding Medal of Honor, awarded by the Mayor of Seoul

표창, which I translated as Medal of Honor, is up to challenge. It's just a korean BS way of saying "award, one of those special ones, not those crappy ones".

Weak keep. Unfortunately, the awards that might make him notable are Korean, and the external link that might explain them is in Korean. But IMO foreign language links and references do count as verifiability. I note that there is no version of this article in Korean Wikipedia, or at least no interwiki link to it if there is (it's hard to tell for non-roman-alphabet languages). My suggestion is for someone who speaks Korean to provide one, and then assuming that this article stayed on Korean Wikipedia for a few weeks without deletion, I would change my vote to an unqualified keep. While this is happening, IMO we should keep the article, with a tag questioning the subject's notability, and discuss it on its talk page. Andrewa 23:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

Weak Delete with prefernce to merge. I feel bad for turning my back on my inclusionist ways, but this article is un notable & small. Ahh well.... Further Note: I was brought here, like many others by Wiggins2, or as he wants to be called, "Wiggie". I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias. I ask everyone to not be drawn in with a strict "You're wrong, I'm right" situation, but be open & find a way to keep peaceful.... Spawn Man 04:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC).

This AfD process has been further disrupted by a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich (talk · contribs), Wiggins2 (talk · contribs). See his contributions: they consist almost solely of soliciting others to come to these AfDs and vote keep.

Rebuttal: Everything above was posted to skew the voting and make people turn against me and bias their viewpoint of the nomination and the entry. It's a pretty sick tactic. It shows they care little about the actual strength of the entry; which should be the only thing considered. Since the "warnings" have been posted, some people have even said that they've voted only because of the alleged misconduct. Consequently, they and the people who are engaging in this witchhunt should be ashamed of themselves. They've done irreparable damage to their integrity and to Wikipedia. --Jason Gastrich 01:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm one of them? I voted based on the fact it is a POV (or you did poor research) entry and non-notable. No other criteria were considered. You broke the spirit of the rules and when that happens it should be pointed out. You appear to be still denying that what you did was wrong despite an RfC? I notice you are already trying to appeal to a higher authority. That seems to fit the normal pattern. Good luck, I suspect you will find little sympathy. David D.

The comments posted above were to question the strength of your argument, as per WP:SOCK it is prohibited to use a sockpuppet to create a illusion of a broader support for your side of the argument.

As for diploma mill, the article admits that he has 'qualifications' from the infamous LBU and Oxford Graduate School, both unaccredited, and several other so-called universities we don't have articles on. Then you have the lame attempts to link him with Princeton and Oxford University by bad wikilinking.

You really think diploma mills are notable enough for an encylopedia? Or do you just want to include everything regardless of quality? Being published is not the same as publishing quality.

More insults and you still have not addressed the original question. Of course it does not say it is a diploma mill it is written from a POV. Is that not obvious? Liberal references to Oxford University and Princton but no documentation of his presence in either place. Let's see, degrees from unaccredited insitutions and then off to Oxford and Princeton. Do you see how far fetched this is? It may be true but i am not going to accept that on face value. Do you always accept undocumented evidence this easily in other articles you edit?

More talk and you still don't have a point! The LBU article does not say its a diplomamill, so its not a diplomamill.

The diplomamill thingy, again, is not verified. This article is not about the LBU, not about a diplomamill and not about my religion.

I have made my case for this article to be deleted. You get frustrated by diploma mills being discussed but obviously that is part of a valid case against this entry. He has no quality qualifications and the author has resorted to assertions about alledged studies in notable universities that are not verfiable. Take all that out and there is not much left.

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

Keep. If he's writen stuff then he should at least have a little slice of wikipedia? I mean, Wikipedia is huge, everyone can have a share can't they? Everyone thinks that because he isn't in the news, that he shouldn't be included in wikipedia, the so called "sum of all human knowledge". But how do we know he isn't influencial? He effects hundreds with his words..... Further Note: I was brought here, like many others by Wiggins2, or as he wants to be called, "Wiggie". I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias.

Rebuttal: Everything above was posted to skew the voting and make people turn against me and bias their viewpoint of the nomination and the entry. It's a pretty sick tactic. It shows they care little about the actual strength of the entry; which should be the only thing considered. Since the "warnings" have been posted, some people have even said that they've voted only because of the alleged misconduct.

The comments posted above were to question the strength of your argument, as per WP:SOCK it is prohibited to use a sockpuppet to create a illusion of a broader support for your side of the argument.

There seems to be some sort of purging of certain religious figures going on, and it is becoming difficult to stick to the assumption of good faith. This one is an Easy Keep, via Wikipedia:Notability. "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more." This subject meets the qualification with two of the publications he edited/wrote for.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jaysuschris (talk • contribs) .

There's no reason to doubt good faith if the complete information is not in the article and a deletion nomination is made based on what is there, as well as the record of the article writer for posting a number of articles about people of questionable notability. If there is information available that makes the person notable according to WP:BIO, perhaps passing on laziness (or an attempt to inflate contribution numbers by posting many small, largely substanceless articles instead of a few, good, informative articles) might better serve the purpose of Wikipedia. What do you think? - WarriorScribe 07:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first priority is not to delete articles that don't seem up to snuff, but to make them better. Perhaps the accusation of laziness applies somewhere in this mess. Four seconds on google gets you the circulation numbers for the publications the subject edited. That's all it takes to know this is a keep. Not to mention his position at his institution. - Jaysus Chris 07:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can see your point, but I think that deleting articles that are not up to snuff should be some level of priority, if not the first. I would add that it's not up to the reader to do the research to see if the party or institution is notable--something in the article should indicate that, even if it's a short article that the writer intends to come back to, later. For example, I intend to start adding articles on some writers of history and some scientists that I think should get some coverage, but if I were to do that and only add as a "stub," I think I'd make it a point to get the notability in there--something other than "is a professor and author." Neither of those things is good enough and it would serve me right if someone came along an deleted it because it contained insufficient information. We all have time issues and we can all understand that one might want to start an article and add to it, later. That's cool. Get whatever makes that person or institution notable in there, first. Then, if you have to come back to it later (maybe even much later), it'll probably still be there, even if still a "stub." Sorry...I have no sympathy for lazy writers. I'm a tad "old school" that way. - WarriorScribe 07:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's true that the reader shouldn't have to hunt for notability. But when, through the magic of Wikipedia, we become the editors, we have an obligation to make sure we're not deleting useful information. I guess that's what this process is all about, but I think the default position should be "let's see if this is appropriate" versus "AFD anything I'm not familiar with that doesn't make a bold claim for notability". My opinion. - Jaysus Chris 08:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's a difference, too--a fine one, I'll grant--between what some might view as "notable" (Wiki's standards are a tad over-encompassing, after all) and what is "useful." These kinds of articles are not generally useful. They read like bios from corporate literature, and too often don't qualify as encyclopedic. However, I certainly think that your opinion is well-considered and valid, even if I'm not convinced that anyone is really taking the latter "default position." - WarriorScribe 12:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some think that deleting articles risks losing valuable information, just because that valuable information or proof of notability isn't there yet. It doesn't. The article can be recreated with those things without being speedily deleted, and articles have been recreated in this way. See Godcasting - it was initially (rightly) deleted, then eventually recreated with the necessary information it lacked the first time, reAfDed and kept. Admittedly there was a lot of unnecessary drama on the way and I could probably pick a better example, but then it was a Christian-related subject, so so much for the evil atheistic cabal. --Malthusian (talk) 11:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: My concern wasn't what happens if and when he becomes notable in his own right, I think that's easy. The problem is with a merge and redirect. Even if as current president he deserves a mention on the article on the college, he probably won't merit one as a past president (unlike Neal Weaver for example who it seems likely will). So, if we merge and redirect, we'll later be deleting the redirect. IMO, if he's notable now, it means we're expecting him to remain notable after he leaves the college. Any clearer?

Hello,

I noticed that you were listed as a Christian Wikipedian. I am, too. I wanted to let you know that in the last 24 hours, someone has nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion. Not only does this seem like bad faith and an affront to a lot of hard work, but I'd like you to come and vote on the entries. These nominations seem peculiar because some people are even presidents of universities and well known authors.

Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.

By the way, I recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ (see http://wiki4christ.com). If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Wikipedia, please see our site!

Sincerely,

Jason Gastrich

Thats insinuating bullshit. There is nothing wrong with alerting users to the fact that a bunch of delete-wannabies are attacking articles and demanding they get deleted without having any good reasons at all for the delete except the POV rantings of a guy that for some reason got to be an admin. Where do you get the facts to backup the claim that User Jason Gastrich used multiple accounts to further his articles? Now this is going out hand. When you people turn to personal attacks and blatant lies and slandering, it gets personal. Itake 01:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gastrich is saying those who want to delete the articles have "bad faith." If that's not pressuring for ballot stuffing nothing is. No insinuation. Facts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia:Suspected_sockpuppets_of_Jason_Gastrich Arbustoo 03:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you'll get used to it. Opposing any opinion of Gastrich is "bad faith," "harrassment," "persecution of Christians" and, anyway, you do it because you're an atheist who "hates Jesus." Why, I'm downright scum. It's a cross I bear. Mark K. Bilbo 03:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I never called you scum. If I did though, it would be only a fraction of the negative things you commonly say to Christians. As you know very well, I've never cursed you, but I've summarized the things you've said, with cited quotations, for your Wikipedia entry;(see Talk:Mark K. Bilbo#Controversy) only to have a couple of your friends delete them. For those who wish to see the truth about Mark Bilbo, I've compiled 11 or 12 links to his statements on Usenet where he swears at Christians, calls them names, and mocks Jesus and God. So, as I was saying, I don't judge you and I don't call you names. However, you frequently open your mouth and do reputable atheists a disservice by the things that come out of it. --Jason Gastrich 05:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep—notable per WP:BIO: chief editor of and regular contributor to magazines, one with a circulation of over 5000 copies and membership including some 3500 Baptist preachers, another one with a circulation of over 32,000 copies, reaching an estimated 100,000 people. The latter writes about him: "An interim editor, Mike Randall, was appointed and subsequently became permanent editor in May" (1995).... "He is well known for his business acumen, ministry and publishing experience and has earned the respect of a broad cross-section of the Fellowship.". This article cannot be voted away if Delete voters do not even try to explain why WP:BIO would not apply here. AvB ÷ talk 17:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Dear Advertiser: Thank you for your interest in the Baptist Bible Tribune... The Tribune circulation is over 32,000, reaching over 100,000 people". So they claim to have a circulation of over 32,000 - to a prospective advertiser no less. That does not meet WP:BIO, as they claim to have over 32,000 readers, but there is no third-party verification here. --Malthusian (talk) 20:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes - "Every foreign missionary of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International (currently almost 900) and all the students in our approved colleges receive a copy." So not only is it handed out free, but you don't even get a say in whether you get one or not. That means that 32,000 figure has to be taken with an even bigger grain of salt (several grains of salt?) We deleted Bath Impact, the Bath University fish wrapper, for this reason. --Malthusian

(talk) 20:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the figure is not correct, they are swindling their advertizers (at USD 1000 a page no less). Somehow I do not find the argument that we need third-party confirmation convincing. AvB ÷ talk 21:25, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm not saying the figure is a lie. I'm saying that sending a free magazine to 32,000 people who are automatically signed up when they enter college is not the same as 32,000 people actually going to a newsagent and buying it. Advertising is an extremely painful market and everyone involved has finely-tuned bullshit detectors. When a free newspaper tells an advertiser they have 32,000 readers, they will automatically think in terms of how many people actually read it and don't just dump it straight in the bin. We need to do the same. --Malthusian (talk) 00:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are there anywhere near 31,100 students enrolled in Baptist colleges? AvB ÷ talk 01:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable in my book. His contributions to the magazine mentioned by AvB are just reports on what's happening at his school rather than significant articles. Would we have an article on the guy who puts together the weather report of a national newspaper? By the way, I, like Stuffofinterest, would like to think that semi-notable atheist figures would be given the same respect... and deleted. --Spondoolicks 19:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this were so, that would leave The Baptist Preacher. Which means he is notable amongst Baptists which in MY book is sufficient qualification to warrant inclusion in WP. As far as I know this may well be one of the reasons for the very low cutoff point of 5,000 copies. ~~However, The Baptist Bible Tribune is not online. How can you be sure that Randall only contributes "reports on what's happening at his school"?~~ Oh, and if you can point me to an atheist's (or indeed anyone's) bio article being AfD'd while having met the 5,000 WP:BIO limit, I'll be happy to come over and vote and argue for that article to be kept.

I think we shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, as I, & probably many others, are grateful for his post to draw our attention to this subject. I wouldn't mind if the other "side" did the same. But we cannot ignore the fact that this is defintely going to open wikipedia into two halves; Those who want to keep. Those who don't. I.E. Christians, & others. However, this should not be about religion. I would be ashamed of the christians on here if they only voted to keep the articles because they were christian orientated. This should strictly be business as usual, even though it does seem strange an editor would nominate so many christian articles. Maybe a hidden agenda? If an article's crap, then it should be deleted. Being an inclusionist, I will probably keep the most mundane article. However, the list of notable people list is like many others, & should not be here. To do so would be obvious bias.

Henry Jaderlund[edit]

This Henry Jaderlund is included in the IMDB, but it does not seem that he has had any important roles. For a contemporary film actor, he gets very few Google hits. Minus Wikipedia and mirrors, I get 122 Google hits (56 unique hits) for "Henry Jaderlund".[76] Moreover, the claim that "Henry's father is from Germany and he belongs to The Hohenzollerns a European royal family" looks hoaxy. Jaderlund (actually Jäderlund) is a fairly common type of Swedish surname and lacks any noble or royal connotations whatsoever. I don't know if IMDB alone is acceptable as a source for a biography. All the other hits seem to be from online video-stores and that kind of thing, and are him being included in a couple of minor roles in casting lists. As far as I can tell, nobody seems to have interviewed him or shown any interest in him as an individual actor. Most semi-obscure pornstars seem to be better verified than this guy.

Interactive Storytelling Game[edit]

Here's a real kick in the pants: I just read through my downloaded PDF version of Fantasy Imperium, and right there on page 11 of the .pdf (page 1 of the Introduction) is the quote, "Fantasy Imperium is a Historical Fantasy Role Playing Game set in Medieval Europe."

Since the term "Interactive Storytelling Game" does not appear in the text of the game itself (though it is on the website), I nominate this article for deletion. The Bearded One 06:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Interactive storytelling is a big field which gets 450,000 google hits. Its a far broader category than just RPG's. Sometimes its used as an educational tool such as STORYSMITH. I found many other exampels of the term. I think there is a sufficently broad disctinction between Interactive storytelling, storytelling games and interactive strorytelling games. I've done a bit aof a trim down of the article and added a few more examples. --Salix alba (talk) 21:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article on Interactive storytelling which Pfafrich linked to is listed as a computer game stub. I am unfamiliar with any of the other examples which were added, but one of my concerns is that the current article on Interactive Storytelling Games utterly fails to distinguish itself from Role-playing games. If there is insufficient distinction, the ISG article should be deleted and turned into a redirect to the RPG article. The Bearded One 05:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

maybe a three way disambig to Interactive storytelling Storytelling game and Role-playing game, the terms is used in all three fields. At least three examples I've found Bag of Stories', Storysmith and Abantey don't fit in RPGs. --Salix alba (talk) 17:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second, one is a a letter to the editor and the others are all just publishing Imperator's press releases. I'm sure newspapers in these countries (Cuba, Iran, Panama) don't usually receive press releases from US presidential candidates. It's more a curiousity than anything else.

Tagged for speedy as nn-bio, but notability is asserted (if this was genuinely a cvomic-book letterer she may have been credited on thousands of comics).

Keep. I believe she is notable, but the field of comic book lettering is kind of niche. Article needs a bit of expansion, obviously. Should also be renamed Diana Albers Crunch 14:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is, of course, assuming that lettering hundreds of comis makes one notable. My bias towards comics may be showing through. Perhaps the assembly-line nature of such comics means this is less than notable? -- Dragonfiend 05:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This kid has a site that is humorous. Who cares if hes advertising. Its funnier to watch things disgrace themselves than have others make it easy on him.

Somehow 5 of us found it and thought it was worthy to be posted upon. Wikipedia isnt the american encyclopedia. Thats what makes it what it is.

To be honest I know Alex and I searched his site in Yahoo. 9th hit was this post. He wont beat my bud's idea, but damn, at least let it try. I hope it fails miserably, not because some people want it to, but because it gets no hits.

So if youw ant this kids site to fail at least let it fail by itself. I bet he is getting more google rank by you people posting against it.

Anyhow,

Nice work Alex! Jake and Sammy are proud.

Hurst v. Newman[edit]

An ample illustration of why writing articles about current events goes wrong. This amounts to a minor skirmish in the war on science that religious fundamentalists are waging, and is now fizzling out.

It is being settled out of court. Basically, a schoolboard decided that they could show creationist videos to their schoolkids, consisting of some young earth creationist videos and some intelligent design creationist videos under the banner of "philosophy" to get round the whole Edwards v. Aguillard thing. Americans United noticed and sued, and now the schoolboard have settled out of court (the course is being stopped).

Since it did not go to court, it does not become any case law, and is no more notable than all the other anti-science endeavours such as legislation that is being pushed by those with certain interests. (see http://www.ncseweb.org/pressroom.asp?year=2006 for those just this year).

The most remarkable thing, actually, has been the Discovery Institute's flip-flopping from crying "censorship!" to "we don't think you should be mixing our brand of creationism with another brand because we pretend harder that ours is science" and now, after it has been settled, they've flopped back to crying "censorship!".

Cyberitis[edit]

Neologism dictionary definition. Usually, it would go to Wiktionary, but in this case this word has had such a limited use (Google:Cyberitis) that I would rather delete the article completely.

Lists of heavy metal bands by genre[edit]

Poorly constructed article littered with POV problems. Essentially repeats the Metal music article that was voted KEEP in recent AFD. All the metal genres have explanations on them, and most of the genre articles contain a much larger, comphrensive list of bands. Those that dont have lists so large, their is actually articles constructed to list bands of that type of music. Another problem on this note is that many of the bands listed here have no musical connection to the genres they have been placed in, as can be seen by reading the genres articles, and the articles of the bands themself. Finally, most of the supposed genres listed do not exist, and consist of a small group of bands with no musical connection, as all the genres and terms used are listed on the Metal music article with a explanation of their meaning and use. Leyasu 16:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rsvpair[edit]

Delete per nom, NN, not even close to meeting WP:Web. Looks like more link spam elsewhere Special:Contributions/71.225.51.24, Special:Contributions/70.50.249.190, Special:Contributions/Rsvpair, [88], and probably more. Be advised that it looks like they're reverting your link spam reverts. Dbchip 16:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable. The agressive reversions of the link removals also seems to confirm the hostile intent of their spamming. Bovineone 16:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Understood - our only notability (in our minds at least) comes from the fact that we are a large directory - the only free source anywhere to find where air charter planes live in the world. If this does not make us notable, then we can agree - rsvpair does not warrant a page in wikipedia -- yet. If alexa is the judging criteria then we lose. But we don't want to be labelled as spammers for placing our informative links next to other's informative links - we have unique content we wish to share and would like to know how to do this in a fashion consistent with the wikipedia aviation specific content. We had hoped this would be the first tentative steps in a long relationship where we share our data freely with the wikipedia community - building stubs for the missing airports in the directory, we are having meetings tonight to start bulking up the aircraft type pages so there is more information about what each plane is best suited for,etc. How should we proceed? Airwebster 17:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Since you operate the directory, your motives may be somewhat suspect, and therefore a gentle approach rather than a bold approach, at least when adding links to it or matter concerning it, is probably in order. When you add such a link or material, and it's removed, talk about the changes instead on the talk page of the article or template, rather than reverting the revert. Demi ^T/_C 21:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Aggressive linking, reverting, and template modification despite many warnings followed by an impassioned repentence just as it becomes clear they will be deleted is borderline sociopathic and shows a complete lack of respect for Wikipedians and their community. Their only goal is to do whatever necessary to keep their links. A change in tactics after being exposed only further highlights this. Non-notability and similarity to made-for-AdSense previously established. --Lucent 20:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry but I don't think this is an accurate read at all. I see little communication with either user directing them or redirecting them; I think this is probably a useful web directory to link to for some articles and arguing on the basis of someone's supposed "sociopathy" is probably unhelpful. Instead, let's inform new users to discuss disputed changes on the affected talk pages (presumably Template talk:US-airport and Talk:Air charter. Demi ^T/_C 21:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Jaworski[edit]

Pay attention, now: this was originally an apparent vanity bio, speedy deleted as such, reposted speedied again, then worked up to a different bio, during the time Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Jaworski was happening; speedied almost immediately, then speedied again as repost by Stifle, then recreated (possibly due to an open edit session during the deletion) and speedied again by me, leaving the poor editor somewhat befuddled. For the record, this is not the same as the original subject speedied as nn-bio. Due to potential confusions, and at the request of the (genuine) editor working on the current subject, I have reinstated it, and am bringing it here to clarify once and for all whether the current subject qualifies under WP:BIO. For the record, if I did not think this was a likely keep I would probably not have bothered, but what do I know? - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 16:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Just last night I saw a gift pack of Hilton perfume that included a little beanie-type version of tinkerbell as a bonus item. Exposure in (presumably) many thousands of stores worldwide, in conjunction with appearing on a top-rated network TV series for several years now, equals notability, even if one happens to be a dog. Note, of course, that merging doesn't require any sort of AfD result to do, so if anyone feels really strongly that it should be merged, then go ahead.

Yorkiepoo

There are 500 breeds of dogs. Any of them can be mixed and anyone can name the mixes anything they want. (E.g., see American hybrid "registry" and Poodle hybrid and Dog hybrids and crossbreeds#Casual crossbreeds.) I realize that WP is not paper, but mostly what can be said about mixed-breed dogs is that they might have some characteristics of either parent, or not (if you also look at Maltipoo and Schnoodle you'll see what I mean). We've discussed this within the dog breed project before and feel that all these do is create multiple mixed-breed-dog articles. We're leaving in Cockapoo because it's been around long enough to be the only mixed-breed name to make it into the dictionary, and Labradoodles are so common as to be found in just about every puppies-for-sale list everywhere, with Goldendoodles getting pretty close, but I'm hesitant to open the floodgates for articles about everyone's mixed-breed dog with an invented name. Also recommending AFD for Maltipoo and Schnoodle . Elf | Talk 17:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.Neutral. Elf | Talk 17:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC) Having seconds thoughts largely based on huge numbers of google hits. But see comments embedded below. Elf | Talk 02:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The sheer number of google hits makes it notable, sure, but if you look at the various web sites that provide information on these dogs, these sources are not credible. Notabity is only one part of the picture, check out Wikipedia:Reliable sources, check out Wikipedia:Verifiability. These sheer numbers doesn't mean anything, because they aren't reliable sources. Tons of ads for puppies? A couple amateurish "breed clubs" web sites.. dogbreedinfo.com. At most the reliable information provided on these designer dogs comes from casual mentions in magazine articles about the current trend with designer dogs - these articles focus on Go to amazon and search for maltipoo. You won't find anything. There are a couple notable exceptions, such as Labradoodle, there is a distinct history. - Trysha ^(talk) 03:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Hybrids of dogs are getting increasingly popular; Many hybrids have qualities that can not be described on any other less specific entry such as the original breeds of the hybrid or a hybrid list page. --Msc44 18:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. Promotes misinformation. And Merge anything useful that was left with Poodle hybrids - These dogs are hybrids and do not breed true, you can only guess at the features that such hybrids will have. You won't always get the coat of a poodle, or the temperment of a basset, or the shedding qualities of a westie - you can just HOPE that you get these things. Besides, having an article about each of combonation of breeds will be, how many entries?. Even if all such articles are created, they will not be useful, as they are perpetutating the misinformation that these dogs are actual true beeding lines. - Trysha ^(talk) 18:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seemed suspicious to me too, but a google search produce 27,800 results, mostly ads for those selling them. I understand User:Trysha's comments, though. Maybe as more breeds are added, some type of definite policy can be formed. But I say keep for now.--Esprit15d 18:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, you cannot define what a "fooApoo" is. Other than "it will have aspects of a foo, and a poodle, but you really cannot predict which set of aspects". Yes, the ads are out there, but it's all marketing hype. They simply aren't breeds, and if you wanted to have an NPOV article about them, it wouldn't be a "dog breed" format article as these dogs hybrids cannot really be described in any meaningful way - The article would be an article about the marketing success of selling hybrid dogs. More breeds than these have been added, the result of those were all adding redirects to the apropriate hybrids page. That should be done here. - Trysha ^(talk) 22:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think they should all be merged into the poodle hybrids article since the vast majority are mixed with the poodle. I don't agree with adding information about hybrids to the pure bred articles either. Maltmomma ^(chat) 18:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete in the strongest possible terms. These are never considered dog breeds. I overheard a conversation in a Sydney pet store recently and even the salesgirl was describing a "moodle" as a crossbreed to the sucker--oops--I mean the customer. The sellers of these crosses cannot even agree on what they're called--"moodle"??! The fact that such things rate on Google thanks to ads from sellers cannot be taken seriously.

More importantly, User Msc44 is not correct: there are not significant distinguishing remarks to be made for these crosses, so the result is a proliferation of articles that all say the say basic thing, to wit: this is a cross between a poodle and a .... they have varying appearances blah blah blah, with a photograph.

We would really like Wikiproject dogs to be taken seriously, wouldn't we?

Quill 22:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Verifiability and notability should be the sole criteria, not dog breeding purism. I came here via Maltipoo: 96,900 Google hits, and half a dozen newspaper references to celebrity owners including Jessica Simpson, Ashley Tisdale, Jaime Pressly and AnnaSophia Robb. Tearlach 22:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately the celebrities that have these mixed breed dogs are doing a disservice to purebred dogs. It's a shame that you can take two different breeds of dogs, breed them and sell them for a disgusting amount of money. What they should be doing if they want a mixed breed dog, or even a purebred dog for that matter, is to go to the pound. That would help stop BYBer's and puppy millers from making a buck off of this "newest fad." JMO Maltmomma ^(chat) 00:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I don't care a whit about whether dogs are purebred or not. Most of my smart, talented, beautiful dogs have been mixed breeds. But I'm not trying to create articles on Wikipedia about Semidachshunds, Craussies, Labrasheps, or Golden Shepherds. I must admit, though, having started this thing months ago and having promoted it, too (not doing articles on random mixed breeds), I think I am starting to be swayed by the preponderance of Internet occurrences. I'm just still not entirely convinced that one can legitimately say anything other than "it might...or might not...be like its parent breeds." And I'm not quite sure where one draws the line on "worth having an article for"--100 internet occurrences? 1000? Mumbling off into the night... Elf | Talk 05:05, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As others have previously said, notability is the only factor that should be considered. The schnoodle breed, for one, is notable, having been featured in publications such as Time magazine. As for allegations that the article implies that poodle crosses are true breeds, fix it! The fact that an article has incorrect information in it is not grounds for deleting the whole thing. -Vontafeijos 01:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the problem is not that the article has incorrect infromation, the problem is that the article CANNOT have accruate infromation because - there is no way to define what one of these dogs will look like. Any article that says these dogs have "attribute x from one parent and attribute y from another" is pushing a POV. These dogs are a roll of the dice, unless you get breeders specifically breeding for traits. - Trysha ^(talk) 03:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: And yet the Labradoodle, Goldendoodle, and Cockapoo articles are not being considered for deletion because they are notable enough. Those are also dog breed crosses, a "roll of the dice," but we are keeping them because they are "so common as to be found in just about every puppies-for-sale list." If we're keeping those because they are notable, who defines which poodle crosses are notable and which are not?

Also, the article can easily have accurate information by describing what most poodle crosses inherit from each parent, and where there can be variations. If there is enough variation between breeds for people to seek out specific poodle crosses, then there must be enough variation to explore in a Wikipedia article. -Vontafeijos 04:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gloucester City footballers[edit]

Nomination for all of the following: Matt Bath, Chris Thompson (football), Marvin Thompson, Tom Webb, Darryl Addis, Luke Corbett, Adie Harris and Dave Wilkinson.

All of these are players at Gloucester City, a minor semi-professional (i.e. part-time) football club from England that competes in the Southern League Premier Division, the seventh tier of English football; there are over 140 teams ranking above them, and their average home attendance is 337 [90]. None of these players are currently professionals. Two of them were had short spells at minor professional sides when they were younger (Chris Thompson at Northampton and Luke Corbett at Cheltenham), but neither made a significant number of first-team appearances for these clubs (six and one respectively): these are not seasoned pros who have stepped down a few divisions in the twilights of their careers, but players who never made the grade in the first place. As none of them have had significant careers as fully professional athletes, they do not meet the criteria set out in WP:BIO so Delete All as non-notable.

NB This is a similar nomination to last week's WP:AfD/Dorchester Town footballers, about players at Dorchester Town, who play in the division above Gloucester. All were deleted. Qwghlm 18:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

keep the professionals, merge the non-professionals somewhere. Kappa
keep Luke Corbett has already had his credentials enquired into at [[91]] and the decision by Chiro was that he was to be kept. Since then, his time at Crewe Alexandra as a youth was added. Kappa and ArtVandelay13 were supportive of the decision to keep him. How many times does he have to go on trial?

The fact that Marvin Thompson was at Cheltenham is not mentioned in the argument to delete these players. It is a fact that they are not all "seasoned pros who have stepped down a few divisions in the twilights of their careers". Corbett is 21, Marvin Thompson 19, Tom Webb 21 (and was at Luton Town when younger), Chris Thompson is 23. These are all players who are improving and who will play at higher levels. There is also a discussion to be had as to what image of Wikipedia this systematic elitism (Gloucester after Dorchester) gives out to the millions of fans of semi-professional football around the world. They don't all get paid millions by Arsenal, but in their county they are household names, get mentioned on radio and television, have newspaper articles devoted to them, and matter to people. WP:BIO was meant as a guide to ensure sensible contributions; if it is to be used as a stick to beat any football team outside of the 92 "Great and Good", then perhaps it has been perverted from its original purposes and should be updated to more accurately reflect the fluidity of the pyramid structure. How long before the players of Stockport County become "non-notable" ? Dave Hatton 01:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I wouldn't say that's entirely true. They may be household names in some football-loving households in Gloucester, but I'm from Gloucestershire (Cheltenham) and I've never heard of them. The average attendance at Gloucester games speaks volumes, I think. --kingboyk 21:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It is possible that one of these players is destined for greater things and becomes a full-time professional, but until they have achieved that they should not be included. They don't earn millions at Arsenal, but they're not even earning thousands at Stockport (the bottom club in the Football League at this point in time) right now. In fact, they are currently playing for a side over 50 places beneath Stockport, that attracts a crowd of only a few hundred (which makes your claim they're "household names" rather dubious).
  
  Your worry about deleting Stockport players should they be relegated is not an option. They have played dozens if not hundrerds of matches as professionals, and that achievement cannot be undone. The Gloucester players, on the other hand, have done next to nothing at the professional level of the game. You might call that "elitism", but Wikipedia demands that they be notable in their field. Qwghlm 08:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- You have chosen to carefully twist what I actually said: I claimed that they were "county household names" due to media reporting.
  
  I have no worries about Stockport players being deleted should they be unfortunate to be deleted, but this would mean the end of their supporters (or anyone else) being able to create entries for new Stockport players in the future without the prospect of contibutors such as yourself deleting them. The only players that they would be allowed to work on would be older players moving through the pyramid. This would apply to any club that was relegated to the Conference.
  
  Any players listed for F.C. United of Manchester or AFC Wimbledon would also be due for deletion by you unless they had played a number of games (specified by yourself) for the top 92 clubs.
  
  You also chose to ignore other points such as players being put on trial twice.
  
  Adie Harris was one of the players you listed for deletion, but he has played for Aberystwyth Town. Are you going to claim that a national league is not notable?

Dave Hatton, 22 Jan 2006

I don't think they even qualify as household names in their own county - Gloucestershire has a population of 820,000, the city of Gloucester 110,000, and yet only three or four hundred actually turn up to watch them play every week. I haven't the resources to do ask every person in Gloucestershire but those numbers give me reason to believe that not many local people are going to have heard of them as you make out.

I will push for deletion any player who has not had significant experience playing as a professional in the Football League (and I don't count the League of Wales, as most of its members are semi-pro and were formerly in the English non-league system), regardless of what club they currently play for - AFCW, FCUM, Stockport, Gloucester, whatever. To let players whose experience is mostly semi-professional into Wikipedia would make a mockery of the notability guideline and mean literally tens of thousands of stubby biographies of footballers few people have heard of can be added. Qwghlm 21:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it "makes a mockery" of anything. There are effectively no space restrictions in Wikipedia and the guidelines for people in other fields don't set the bar all that high. For example, Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People still alive states that authors who've sold more than 5,000 books and musicians who've sold more than 5,000 albums "may be included in Wikipedia". I don't know what that translates to with regard to footballers, but a musician who's only sold 5,000 albums doesn't strike me as being any more notable than a good Conference player.

I'm not in favour of creating a load of short stubs though. If people want to look at one Gloucester City player then there's a good chance that they'll want to look up some others, so I'd recommend starting off with a single page for all of them, as with FCUM, and then splitting them out using summary style when/if there's too much info to fit it sensibly onto one page. If I get enough information about one of FCUM's more notable players (not really likely in the near future) I'll do this, and strongly oppose any attempts to delete it.

As far as I'm concerned, the guidelines are there to stop people writing about their mate who plays for a pub team and so on. It doesn't do WP any harm to have articles on non-league players; if anything I find it quite impressive. File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 04:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if in the book world, you need to have around 5,000 people hand over money to read your work in order to be notable, then the parallel in the footballing world would be having around 5,000 people hand over money to watch you play (the average Football League Two attendance is about this, maybe a little less [92]). Gloucester's average gate is 337 - less than a tenth of this - that's not just a little bit off but falling far short of it.

If you want to put information about the current squad in the current Gloucester City A.F.C. page then fine, it's probably a good place for it and I'm not going to delete it from there. But that's not the concern here - the concern is whether these individuals deserve to have a page to themselves, and they clearly do not - not by WP's standards, anyway.

Matthew 1:2[edit]

This is a single verse in the bible. Wikipedia does not need individual articles on every verse in the bible. We should have articles on interesting or controversial ones, but this isn't an interesting one. The verse simply says:

Abraham became the father of Isaac.

Isaac became the father of Jacob.

Jacob became the father of Judah

and his brothers.

..This article says nothing more than this verse and the verses near it in the bible do. It was VFD'd by -Ril- before, but kept. I feel that part of this is because it was put in a lump vfd with a ton of other verse articles. That type of listing does not tend to produce good results.

Delete. A single verse of the Bible is usually not notable, although it is important. It also makes less sense when it stands alone than when it appears in context. Each verse will have to be explained in light of the preceding verse and the following verse; therefore, it makes sense to write articles about notable Bible passages and Bible topics rather than individual verses. Wikipedia may be able to contain a lot, but every verse of the Bible and then--to maintain NPOV--every verse of the Koran, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the plays of Shakespeare, the sayings of Confucius, etc?

List of greatest Jeopardy! champions and List of notable Jeopardy! contestants[edit]

This is listcruft whose subject doesn't even match the title; it purports to be a list of greatest players, but the article says it's notable players, which aren't the same thing. The latter is already redundant with the Category: Jeopardy! anyway. An earlier version had more information, but most of it, being inaccurate, was removed. What's left is useless. since "greatest" is somewhat subjective (by money won? Most wins? Do we account for the doubling of the values? What about those players who were kicked off after 5 games, unlike Ken?) I don't think it can be salvaged. The most important statistics are already at the Jeopardy article. -R. fiend 19:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This would have mild utility as a list, if it was sorted by something, such as duration on the show, or total winnings; and mentioned very breifly what's verifiably signficant about them (first to last past five days, largest single day winner, etc..). This would let people see in a glance what they can't from a category, in picking which article is of interest. As it stands, a category does a better job.

Delete "Pure vandalism" is listed as criteria for speedy deletions. Wikipedia's definition of vandalism includes spam. This article is nothing but spam, therefore it is pure vandalism. Makes no sense to me why we should sit around for days waiting for it to be taken off. Same result either way. Kafziel 23:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well that's an intersting point, since spam is listed on the vandalism page. I think most wikipedians consider those two different things, but there is an argument for it being a speedy criteria. The only thing is, there is a policy in place that spam has to be afd'd. I guess this policy has to be cleared up.--Esprit15d 14:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree that policy needs to be cleared up. I guess the problem of automatically speedy deleting any spam article is when the subject of the article is fine, but the way it is written isn't (AfD give a change for the article to be re-written). On the other hand, we really don't want articles like this sitting around for a week, with the load it puts on AFD. Petros471 14:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Related to this [[96]]
I am shocked that you want to delete this page. Ditherals is not widely used by the mainstream media, but is much more commonly used in regular speach and very common in political blogs especially in this election season. If someone is reading a blog, and comes accross Ditherals, they should be able to go to Wikipedia to look it up. Why delete it? I strongly object to the deletion request. There is no "common usage" criteria in Wikipedia's deletion protocol.
- There most certainly is a "common usage" criterion in Wikipedia's deletion protocol; to merit an article, things on here have to be (a) verifiable, (b) notable, (c) encyclopedic, and (d) neutral and unbiased. This is none of the above. Consider it speedied. And before you make the accusation I know you're just itching to make, I am not a Liberal Party of Canada member, supporter or voter. Bearcat 05:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I protest and repeat that there is no common usage criterion in Wikipedia's deletion protocol. A word does not have to be in common usage to be (a) verifiable, (b) notable, (c) encyclopedic. There hare thousands of Wikipedia entries in uncommon usage that are all verifiable, notable and encyclopedic. The definition was not written in a baised manner. You have deleted the page without 'Wikipedia community consensus' and in violation of Wikipedia's deletion protocol which requires community consensus. Please revive the page to aviod going throught the deletion review process. Readers of Canadian Poltics blogs are coming accross the word Ditherals every day. Lastly, you accuse me of "itching to make the accusation that you are a member of the Liberal Party of Canada" without justification and I request that you retract that statement. -Palmerston — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palmerston (talk • contribs) 11:43, 11 January 2006

I thought the speedy delete was improper, and said so at Deletion reveiw. But a google search finds only 15 unique results, all of which seem to be blogs or forums of soem sort.

List of fictional people with prank call names[edit]

non-notable list of two barely connected names, unverifiable and uncyclopedic. At the very best move to wikibooks humor section, but since there has been no interest in writing this article since it's creation, probably better to just delete it. Author of article had a few months to respond to charges that the article be made encyclopedic somehow. See WP: NOT 1.7, 2, have these two names contributed significantly to the topic of amusing names? Are they famous? Lotusduck 21:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. Good topic for a list, but not sure why it was renamed just prior to nom. -- JJay 22:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I renamed it to help it, actually. It's a list of prank call names, not a list of fictional people known for their names. Arguably, all characters are known for their show, not name. Secondly, the two names listed don't appear to be characters at all, but just prank call names used in some capacity. Don't assume bad faith, I didn't title it "two prank call names" after all. Nobody has expanded this in any way in the four months since its' creation. If by being longer it becomes encyclopedic, how is it going to get longer in the first place?

So you wanted to help it for 8 minutes before tagging for AfD? -- JJay 23:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I did. I'll always try everything I can to make an article accurate and encyclopedic before trying nominating it for deletion, and what's the point in waiting around before making a decision when it's about a four month dead page?

Algebra of physical space[edit]

This article does not meet the original reason for its creation (easy to read). It needs a more consistent background to be readable and most of the links do not fit in the context (only confusing the reader). However, this material may appear in the future as a wikibook - CSD from User:Cabrer7, not CSD listing here instead-- pgk^(talk) 22:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Real, verifiable topic in mathematical physics. Admittedly, the article is horribly over-technical, has too many unexplained equations, and goes into too much detail for a general-purpose encyclopedia, but none of these are valid reasons for deletion. ManoaChild 23:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above; although I cannot resist thinking that most of this should be merged into the various topics it discusses, leaving this as a commented list of possible algebraic models of physical space. Septentrionalis 06:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Content is verifiable and notable, albeit badly written. This article attempts to write many of the basic concepts in physics in terms of geometric algebra. This is well covered in the listed references. The content should probably be merged with geometric algebra or the page renamed (something with geometric algebra in the title would be appropriate). -- Fropuff 07:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Not all of it; or do you want electromagnetism under geometric algebra? Septentrionalis 05:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, it's too long to stick it all in geometric algebra. Actually, I think the transwiki idea is maybe the best. This seems to be more appropriate for a wikibook on "geometric algebra in physics", rather than an encyclopedia article. -- Fropuff 05:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - My feeling is that the bulk of the article really is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, at least in its current state. I think that the article should be transwikified, but that the original article should not be deleted but should be cut down to a simple description and a brief description of the applications of this approach. ManoaChild 21:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwikified. I am the main author of this article and I admit that I did not choose a good name. I suggest to transwikify it as a wikibook immediately. The title would be different though, perhaps "Geometric Algebra Applied to Physics. An Approach from the Algebra of Physical Space". The range is too wide to fit in a single article because the applications range from Classical Mechanics to Quantum Mechanics. In this way I could write the contents of the links in the context of the algebra with the same notation. --User:Cabrer7, January 19 2006

Claimants of the Duchy of Braganza[edit]

From CSD tag by User:BBird This article sole objective is to try to invent a controversy that does not exist in real life. The issue of non legitimate pretenders might deserve a paragraph the history of Portuguese monarchy, not more than that. The status of Mr. Poidimani, which nobody knows, is only defended by a sole anon editor (probably the pretender himself or someone very close)-- pgk^(talk) 22:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article has a big importance about the Portuguese succession. In this article are described also the pretension of other two pretenders and their affermations. About the Pact of Paris, also if this really existed, now there is no documental proof of this Pact and also Mr. Duarte Pio of Braganza in his last book affirms this. If these my affermations are false please Mr BBird to inform me and other Portoguese People where is possible to see this important document. This document is foundamental for the Crown Rights of Duarte Pio and he based his rights on this Pact that none have seen. M.deSousa 19 January 2006 (UTC)

about the "famous" false Pact of Paris... see this offer [100]

Delete. M.deSousa's attempts to turn Wikipedia into a promotional site for their campaign to push the alleged pretender status of someone largely unheard of even in Portugal is getting tedious at this stage. They seem to jump from article to article pushing that agenda. We don't need yet another article going over the same goddamned thing again. Articles on this topic seem to be breeding like rabbits. Frankly, most of us are fed up of dealing with this crap. If M.deSousa wants to promote the royal claims of someone, open up a blog and stop trying to use WP to push the claim. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 23:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The basic issue is that the only pretender with any following is Dom Duarte. Technically, there is reason to question his claim under the legal order of succession of the 19th century Portuguese monarchical constitution, but nobody in fact does so. The only actual challenge comes from this Poidimani character, and it is rather difficult to see where he comes by any claim at all, his claim being that he is the adopted heir of a bastard daughter of the second-to-last king of Portugal. All this article does is give false legitimacy to this fellow's nonsense. Beyond that, the article is mistitled for an article on general issues of Portuguese monarchism, since it is not the "Duchy" (Dukedom?) of Braganza that anybody cares about. john k 07:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, if there is any useful content there merge, then re-direct. Otherwise just redirect. Petros471 22:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There really is no need to delete it. It's just a bio of a man who is well known on the internet wrestling community. The page MUST stay! Keep Love Adam Moreton. 00:24 19 January 2006 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dean Rasmussen (talk • contribs)

Postulate of Numerical Relevance[edit]

Nom and vote
Del. As the author says, this is dumb. Breathtakingly dumb. It was speedied under G1, but alas, not WP:PN, being specifically excluded there in falling short of

Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever.

An intelligent person with an introductory knowledge of differential calculus can see that Aaron has, in an awkward way, postulated that "relevant" means means the same as "varying with respect to some variable". It makes enough sense that it has a clear meaning, in contrast to things that make so little sense that you can't be sure they are false ideas. This deserves deletion as Original research and as a Non-notable idea, so worthless that its falsehood has needed no discussion until it was dumped here.

Cmt. I've history-merged Aaron's Postulate of Numerical Relevance, whose substance is insignificantly different into this. ~~The restoration of the deleted version is not yet complete.~~

Speedy Delete it anyway, it's the spirit of nonsense if not the letter. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 04:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not the spirit of patent nonsense at all. The patent nonsense criterion is specifically targetted at articles that are irredemably incomprehensible. It is not targetted at articles that are unverifiable or original research, since it takes more than 1 editor to make that decision. Please do not abuse the patent nonsense criterion. Uncle G 04:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think it qualifies as original research because I don't think it's research at all. Either way, I'm not insisting that we get rid of it ASAP, just voting that it can be deleted sooner rather than later. (Sorry if I set off your administrator-protect-policies-radar.) -- stillnotelf has a talk page 05:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - The emphasis in the original-research prohibition is on original rather than research, so quibbling over the definition of research is missing the point. We do established knowledge, and original research or original speculation is just a step toward creating established knowledge. (And BTW, this article is an attempt at math and philosophy, two areas where research doesn't mean experimentation, but a very high proportion of sitting there trying to refine a feeling into a well-defined idea, and then sitting there working out what the consequences of that idea are.)
