The result was delete without prejudice against recreation. For those who argue that this could be a legitimate topic (and I could see it as such), by all means write an article on the topic. However, we will not keep an essay lying around just because the essay happens to be about a notable subject that could theoretically have an encyclopedic article. As the arguments for keeping the article seem centered around the theoretically possible article rather than the article itself, I find them uncompelling. —Verrai 02:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Gay and lesbian retirement[edit]
- Gay and lesbian retirement (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Reads like an essay, not an article. No external or intenral links. Orphaned. A few fairly spammy links at the bottom. Can't imagine that even with the best cleanup in the world it would become encyclopeadic. --Legis (talk - contribs) 00:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. It doesn't quite read right, but it could, could, possibly be fixed. —Signed by KoЯnfan71 My Talk Sign Here! 01:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Like Kornfan71, I can possibly imagine an article about the subject with proper sources but I don't think this provides even a base for such an article. Also, WP:OR, right? Pigman 03:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete there was just a big NY Times article on it this week (Tues.?), but that doesn't make it an article. JJL 03:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge into a Gay & Lesbian article. Tiggerjay 07:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, it's an essay not an article. CRGreathouse (t | c) 23:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rework. LGBT retirement communities are certainly notable, so perhaps the article should be repurposed to discuss such communities. The large number of sources that discuss LGBT retirement issues would appear to satisfy any notability requirements. Eddie's Teddy 03:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Some sources that talk about LGBT retirement and communities: [1], [2], [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35218]. Given the lack of legal recognition of same-sex unions throughout much of the world, including the US, an article on aging LGBT communities is an incredible benefit to Wikipedia. Eddie's Teddy 03:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or Userfy for the author, if he requests. Needs explicit referencing. --SmokeyJoe 09:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Retirement communities and information about senior issues are not very well covered in WP and therefore this is a WP:CSB issue, albeit one that is not under-recognized in comparison to the LGBT CSB issue! I can see this being primarily a list-oriented article with some discussion of the issue that cites to the published works. Ideally it would fit into a set of articles about special needs populations for seniors. --lquilter 16:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Essay, not an encyclopedical article, US centric. Pavel Vozenilek 23:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete clearly essay in nature. ALKIVAR™ ☢ 03:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Eddie'sTeddy and Lquilter. Bearian 16:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's a pretty bad article, true, but there are specific issues of concern for the LGBT community in retirement. There are issues of gays in retirement homes predominated by straights, and vice versa (There are tons of mainstream articles recently about this). It needs to be fixed, not deleted:

--David Shankbone 17:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Reads like an essay as expressed above. There is an article to be had under this topic perhaps, but this isn't it. Burntsauce 17:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite. NYT article establishes that this is a demarcate-able subject matter of importance. Fireplace 17:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep Nominator's statement, "Can't imagine that even with the best cleanup in the world it would become encyclopeadic." is way over WP:NPOV. Further, with sources from New York Times, Dallas Morning News, San Francisco Chronicle and WorldNetDaily as already stated above, I find sources from L.A. Times[3], USA Today[4], The Advocate[5], AOL Money & Finance[6], Washington Post[7], ABC News[8], and American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Magazine[9]. As was said above, we re-write, not delete. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 17:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, I take on board the comments about WP:CSB - I am not sure about the lack of LGBT articles on Wikipedia, but there probably are a shortage of articles about senior citizen issues. But I don't think a series of newspaper reports on a topic du jour makes it any more encyclopediac: WP:NOT#JOURNALISM. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- comment. I've listed these under refs for other editors' use. Benjiboi 22:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. That's 14 refs added so far and no reason to believe that any effort won't quickly produce more. Subject is certainly notable and sources easily found. Article simply needs improving through regular editing per WP:AfD. Benjiboi 22:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, though it definitely needs work, the subject matter certainly could make a good encyclopedic article. Right now this article seems more about aging LGBT couples than it does about LGBT retirement, but give it a chance, it was only created a week ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Queerudite (talk • contribs) 02:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chanchati[edit]
Not notable, orphaned, irrelevant. can you say moo? Ⓐ 00:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Not to mention there's almost no content in it. —Signed by KoЯnfan71 My Talk Sign Here! 00:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Regardless of how much info is currently in the article, general consensus is that villages are allowed per WP:OUTCOMES. And to be fair, the article does state that it is a stub. ARendedWinter 00:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep All villages and cities includable well-established consensus--Victor falk 01:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Towns and villages are notable regardless of size. --Oakshade 01:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep One of the only (maybe the only) always notable categories is settled places (towns and villages). --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I thought it was the only one. What might the others be?--Victor falk 06:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't think of any other one as general as this. There are a few other minor exceptions to the Primary Notability Criterion (for example, an otherwise non-notable company becomes instantly notable if it appears in the Fortune 500 or is used in the S&P 500 or something like that, even if the article has no other sources to expand it past a stub), but other than the settled places exception, those are few and not often needed, as most of the exceptions are otherwise notable ANYWAYS.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I thought it was the only one. What might the others be?--Victor falk 06:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for reasons already listed. However it certainly could use some help with more content. Tiggerjay 07:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - A real town/village, hence automatically notable. Nothing wrong with stubs, that's why we have stub markers. Ben W Bell talk 11:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Article lacks content, but towns are,by definition, notable.jonathon 08:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Waffle boy[edit]
Non-notable and unencyclopediac - temporary mascot for a not particularly famous or historical product. No internal or external links to or from the article. --Legis (talk - contribs) 23:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge with Waffle Crisp in whatever level of detail as seems appropriate. Accounting4Taste 01:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Waffle Crisp. Waffle Crisp is marginally notable, Waffle Boy is not except as a subheading in Waffle Crisp. Euryalus 01:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Userfy, moved to User:Aaron1509/Causal Explanation and Research Design. There are only 747 unique Ghits using the search terms given by Victor falk, so notability is indeed a question. The user, who is a new Wikipedian, admits it's a work in progress, so moving it into Aaron1509's user space protects it from deletion (somewhat) while it's improved. When it's fully fleshed out, it can be moved back into the mainspace. KrakatoaKatie 04:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose "a work in progress" isn't acceptable. I'm trying to add a new article for something im interested in.

I'm kinda neutral on this one. It can have good info, but at the same time, it does have some info that I think could be cut. —Signed by KoЯnfan71 My Talk Sign Here! 00:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as non-notable. Thanks, Codelyoko193 TalkSign here 23:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - fails WP:MUSIC: "demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable." The release is too limited and the content too brief to represent any enduring contribution to the band's musical history. It was also re-released in full as part of Versus the World (album) and the musical content is adequately covered on that page. Euryalus 01:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asa Coon[edit]
Asa Coon was the gunman in the SuccessTech Academy shooting. The article was tagged for speedy deletion citing BLP concerns (I removed the CSD template), which is inappropriate for a two reasons: 1) The subject is no longer living and 2) BLP violations are not a CSD criterion. As more information becomes available, I suspect the article will contain more content than it currently does (two sentences). As the subject is only notable for this shooting, I don't think we really need an article on him. Perhaps a merge or a redirect are in order. Pablo Talk | Contributions 22:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete While school shootings are terrible, nobody was even seriously injured (except for this kid) and he is not notable for anything else (generally, someone doesn't get an article if there notability is only for one thing). Mention him on the page for the shooting and that is enough. TJ Spyke 22:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete per WP:BLP1E. The person died recently, but I am pretty sure that BLP1E still applies, as well as the general principles of WP:BLP policy.

Carlossuarez46 22:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete them both. He certainly doesn't assert any notability or meet WP:BIO, so the only possible place for his information would be within the company's. Everything about the company's product is "blue-sky" -- they've announced they're developing an aircraft. I suggest the company's product falls under WP:NOT#CRYSTAL and it has no other notability. Now, if and when the product comes out, and it meets these expectations and specifications, it might be very notable indeed, in which case someone will write an article about it then.

- Delete - Lists by their very nature can only be accurate if they are complete. They can only hope to be complete if they are very narrow in scope.

The Queen[edit]
Disambiguation page containing only two senses of the word, and one sense is not in accordance with naming convention Bsherr 21:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This to to provide a fuller explanation for deletion of this disambiguation page. The disambiguation page "The Queen" consturcts the phrase in two senses: (1) third person reference to a female monarch, and (2) the so-named motion picture The Queen (film).
In the first sense, use of the phrase in context would not include capitalization of the article--"the Queen" and not "The Queen". Therefore, an entry in this sense of the phrase should properly be named "Queen" and not "The Queen", in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name).
The second sense, in context, would inclue a capitalized article--in the movie "The Queen"--and is proper under naming conventions.
There are no other senses of this word included in the disambiguation page here proposed for deletion.
The problem with maintianing this disambiguation page is that it invites (and its history and current form indicate) redundancy, in the first sense of usage, with Queen, a disambiguation page that is properly named in this sense of the phrase in accordance with the naming convention. Efforts to maintain this article to do only (1) refer to Queen and (2) refer to The Queen (film) have not been able to be maintained due to unawareness of this intent and of the naming conventions.
I therefore propose: (1) deletion of this disambiguation page (2) installation of a redirect to the film page "The Queen" (3) preserving the properly executed link to the disambiguation page Queen on The Queen (film) Bsherr 21:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of many odd lists under the umbrella Lists of American Jews (not a list, but "lists"), such as List of Jewish American linguists.

Outdoor activity[edit]
- Outdoor activity (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
I see no point in this article's continued existence. It's been tagged for cleanup for five months now with no particular improvement, and while it's theoretically improvable (cultural attitudes to outdoor pursuits etc) I don't really see any particular point to it. As the IP says on the talk page, this article is unnecessary in its present form; it doesn't really say anything that isn't obvious from combining the dicdefs of "outdoors" and "activity". — iridescent (talk to me!) 20:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Borst[edit]
Suggesting deletion as I am unable to verify any of the information within the two sentences that make up this article, other than the fact he appeared in a couple of skateboard videos. Sources were requested sixteen months ago back in June 2006, we're now at October 2007 and nothing has turned up. If someone can provide a reliable source that confirms he was ranked number one by some sort of skating authority I will respectfully withdraw this nomination, but for now it fails WP:BLP and pretty much everything else we have. Burntsauce 20:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Caney[edit]
Placing for deletion because this person does not meet WP:PROF or any other biography guideline that I'm aware of, and also lacks anything in the way of reliable third party sources about the subject. Burntsauce 20:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Unless someone turns up more substantial evidence of notability than what's there now, I can't really see keeping it. I A7ed it before but was swayed by the argument that professors are almost always notable. I'm very disinclined to grant sweeping notability to all members of a group. To me, it feels counter to notability and reliable source guidelines to give blanket and unquestioning entries to everyone in a group. Still, I'm always open to evidence of notability if it shows up.

- WP:PROF includes The person is regarded as an important figure by independent academics in the same field.; and The person has published a significant and well-known academic work. An academic work may be significant or well known if, for example, it is the basis for a textbook or course. I think the two uses of Caney's text I included above indicate both these things, and as I said, there are plenty more. Other independent academics, at well respected universities, are saying Caney's work is necessary reading for graduate level study - that's a strong endorsement of his standing. -- SiobhanHansa 21:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep the Zagat seem to confer notability--Victor falk 03:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The article makes a claim to a Zagat award of some sort, but no reliable sources are provided to validate the claim. Do you have any? How many of these awards does Zagat issue to restaurants within the San Francisco area every year? As of right now, the reader has no way to verify the information presented, nor do they have any understanding of why that award should be considered notable. Both problems sway me to the delete point of view (reaffirming original position). Burntsauce 16:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KeepDelete, all restaurants getting a Zagat are not automatically notable.--Victor falk 17:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right.
- Weak delete unless sources are added. The restaurant is well known in San Francisco but after looking and looking I see nothing published about it except restaurant reviews, plus one mention each in the Washington Post and Russian Life. Both of those discuss it in a travelogue based way, and would be fine sources to supplement a claim to notability but just aren't enough. Underneath it all I think this is just another restaurant. Perhaps a good, popular one, but it's not famous, influential, groundbreaking, etc....just not notable enough, unless before it's deleted someone can prove me wrong by finding and sourcing some notability.Wikidemo 17:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. Consensus is that the topic does not meet the general notability guidelines. Miami Sun Post September 27, 2007 is a reliable source. The four PR releases might have a total of sentence or two of article material: July 27, 2007 PR, August 13, 2007 PR, August 16, 2007 PR, and August 20, 2007 PR. MarketShift.com July 27, 2007 is a blog, not a Wikipedia reliable source. inmanwiki.com is a summary of press release material, not a Wikipedia reliable source. Also, the article was improved during the AfD to address promotional concerns. Although the SPA argue keep, no non-SPA has argued keep. It is clear that the delete reasonings reviewed the references and likelihood for other reliable source material and provide the stronger argument. -- Jreferee t/c 15:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- 25K unique users per month is more than enough for such a limited niche as FSBO (the National Association of REALTORS puts the FSBO market at about 20% of homesellers).

Inner bone pain[edit]
- Inner bone pain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
Described as an uncommon pain syndrome occurring in someone who suffers a physical trauma after being under mental stress for a long time. No sources offered, NORD URL at the bottom leads to the NORD website but the site does not list "inner bone pain" as a recognised condition. It gets six Google hits, mostly Wikipedia and mirrors, and searching PubMed for Dr Tyler Coles does not lead to an article that describes such a syndrome.

The result was Keep. Consensus is that the topic meets the general notability guidelines. Consensus is that there is more than enough reliable source material for the article. The how-to issues may be addressed through a clean-up tag. The name of the article is appropriate, as a simple search shows that the topic is called 'choking game' by the media. See, for example, Boy's death prompts 'choking game' fears. Officials won't release cause of Slinger death. Choking game seems the most likely terms by which those interested in the topic would search for the topic on Wikipedia. The name of the article might offend some, but that is no reason to delete the article and not a basis to rename the article. Merge into or with Chokehold, Erotic asphyxiation, and/or Autoerotic fatality might have been a possible outcome, but that that was not discussed sufficiently, particularly in view of the significant "choking game" reliable source material available. -- Jreferee t/c 15:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Choking game[edit]
No directly pertinent reliable sources, but plenty of how-to (the primary section is "How the choking game works" -- works?!?) about how to make yourself pass out and very likely die. Wikipedia is not a how-to, and this is essentially a form of (terrible) medical advice.

Or we have memorials such as Murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn, LaToyia Figueroa, Sheila Bellush, etc. I know, the "this other article is here, why not this one?" arguments are weak but I have a point. Those articles can be used as research for someone looking into murders and their causes, missing people, etc. This article talks about an actual method that kids use to "get high" and some of them end up dieing from it. It could be an informative and well researched article. Also, I know this is a weak argument as well, but there are over 2 million Google hits for Choking game. There are still many active links to articles written about this fad/phenomenon/game whatever you want to call it, such as this CNN piece, this page states that "This activity has been going on for generations." and "Deaths have occurred from this activity nationwide, and in other countries around the world." This is not a localized thing. It isn't rumor. People die from this just like they do with drowning. If we eliminate or severely cut down the "how-to" info, there is plenty of information for a well referenced article. Dismas|(talk) 21:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep The article has problems, the main problem is that the entire article is cast as a 'game' when it is actually seriously misguided aberrant behaviour. However, the subject matter is an important one and must be in Wikipedia. It does need work. I would suggest that we: 1. Rename it to something more technical and less attractive such as Self asphyxiation or Recreational asphyxiation, sugestions please 2. Recast this as a medical article, 2. Retain the statistics, the description and the mechanism, reinforcing in the statistics that it kills and maims many children each year 3. Cite more sources 4. Remove the 'other names' section, confirm the real alternative names from this list by research which will reduce it to about six and then incorporate these alternative names in the main text, 5. Remove the how-tos while somehow keeping the description of behaviour. It would be irresponsible for Wikipedia not to cover this when it is a common activity that causes so much misery, we just have to cover it in a better way.

- Strong keep per above editors--Victor falk 03:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Create new article, delete this one We had a similar situation with a how-to article about how to make a bomb. As I tried to explain to the idiots who thought it was "censorship" to delete a how-to-make-a-bomb article (one of them wrote "'Kids could get hurt' is not a reason to delete"), editing is not a perfect solution, since the editing history has the prior versions. Yes, it's a notable topic. No, we don't need a step by step. I suggest create a new article (call it Choking Game instead of Choking game and then choke the shit out of this one. Mandsford 04:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep I see the current state of the article as a whole as relevant, important and fairly encyclopedic, excluding some sections. It just needs some editing (quite a few articles do!), but not nearly enough to warrant deletion. Probably at least half of Wikipedia's articles could use more sources. I would strongly prefer the current name as well. Things like Self asphyxiation sound more like autoerotic asphyxiation to me (IMO, of course). The way I see it Choking game is more of a phenomenon (in lack of a better word, I'm not a sociologist or a psychologist) than just an "innocent name" for self asphyxiation. The idea of starting a new article under the same name but different (incorrect) capitalization makes no sense to me. DiamonDie 11:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The article needs some rewriting. Renaming it will simply result in the recreation of the article,unless the rename includes a redirect. (The "choking game" is probably the most common name for it --- unless you consider "suicide" as a cause of death to be a more popular name.)jonathon 09:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete but permit re-creation à la Mandsford per Mandsford, this article has to go, but I'll admit that this activity is notable. Carlossuarez46 06:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that if this article were to be recreated under the same title it would inevitably acquire the same content. Actually much of the current content is quite good and accurate, it is just that the article presents itself as something that is potentially fun, a game in fact, rather than something horrible. I would be happy to try to rewrite this as a medical article and move it under a more clinical title and retain Choking game as a redirect. To make that work we would need much better stats in the introduction than we have currently, any one can contribute to that now. Ex nihil 07:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bonny Jain[edit]
Non-notable academic competitor and high school kid. I found this article on a request for comment; I thought it was so ridiculous that I went ahead and put it here. Well, he did get a NG article for winning a geography bee, but I still don't think he's notable. Sorry if that's poor etiquette. Cap'n Walker 19:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Goodness, I seem to have stirred the pot! From my User Page: "You are absolutely ridiculous! The only reason you want Bonny Jain's page deleted is because you've never even had a chance to win a National contest. " Sorry, there are lots of national contests for youngsters every year, and plenty of winners. They don't all merit articles. Cap'n Walker 15:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - the event he won is notable, and its a unique achievement, seeing as though there is only 1 national winner per year (and its no cakewalk to win). The article can use a little bit of copy editing to avoid the resume feel. Perhaps this is walking down a dangerous path ending in stub articles for all the winners, most of whom are still in their teens and deserve their privacy, but as far as strict wiki-lawyering goes, this meets the guidelines. CosmicPenguin (Talk) 22:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Cosmic Penguin notes that this event is notable. I agree, and the event should have an article. Cosmic Penguin notes that "winning the event is a unique achievement, seeing as though there is only one national winner per year" I think this statement is a contradiction. Unique implies a singular achievement, yet there are many people who can claim winning this event. Does every middle schooler/high schooler who wins a national debate, cheerleading, chess, tennis, golf, poetry slam, martial arts, etc, etc, etc title deserve to be the subject of an article? I think the dangerous slope here is starting to decide which event of this nature qualifies the winner for an article .... Does the National Geographic Bee or National Spelling Bee somehow confer special notability over a national martial arts champion (for example)? LonelyBeacon 22:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Delete This person is known for one and only one accomplishment: that of being an academic competitor at the elementary school level. This is non-notable for the exact same reason a high school quarterback setting a national passing record is non-notable. Further, the article has essentially been edited only by its creator (subject?), vandals, and those reverting vandalism. I believe that Wikipedia policy speaks to this. If this means that other articles in a similar vein must be deleted, then so be it. LonelyBeacon 22:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete He's a great kid, but not worthy of an article in any encyclopedia, even Wikipedia. The fact is, his NGB championship happened as a 13-year-old. To whomever agrees with the post on Cap'n Walker's talk page, all I have to say is : Yes, I have won a national championship. And I don't deserve an article either. // 15 years from now, when Bonny invents a new type of cheese or discovers the ninth planet in our solar system, this article should be reinstated, mentioning the NGB championship. But until then, I just don't think he's "notable" by Wiki standards. // And the same goes for Andrew and Susannah, though I would be interested to find out the story behind this Calvin McCarter kid who won it as a 5th-grader....

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collectible Card Game[edit]
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collectible Card Game (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collectible Card Game is a collectible card game based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And that, restated in a number of innovative and verbose ways, is about it. Oh, wait, no, we also have the rules. And a game guide. Seriously, one could almost speedy this as being nothing more than a restatement of the title. There is nothing here that is not completely obvious from the combination of "Buffy" and "collectible card game". As far as I can tell this is just a completely generic spin-off "game" (i.e. trading card marketing hype) which is indistinguishable in any important respect from a dozen others. It's not spam, they don't seem to make it any more, and it's not even really Buffycruft, as it's not about Buffy at all, it's just a write-up by fans of the game. There is enough decent material here for a sentence in the Buffy franchise article: "And there was a trading card game". Cruftbane 19:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I see some gameguide issues, but nothing unfixable. The rest of the afd seems to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Some sources are required before it passes WP:N though. Artw 20:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom + no assertion of notability--Victor falk 03:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep! This is a serious (albeit officially discontinued) card game with organized tournaments, official judges, a substantial community, etc. It can't compare with, say, Magic, but that would be raising the standard awfully high. I'm rather baffled by the nom's "that ... is about it" comment -- the article seems perfectly well-organized and informative to me, and I really don't understand why it is being belittled. — xDanielx T/C 06:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Because it's generic. The title says all you need to know: it's a trading card game with a Buffy theme. The rest is a game guide. Cruftbane 06:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- This really isn't the spirit of WP:NOT#GUIDE (or whatever other policy/guideline). Wikipedia isn't the place for comprehensive, indiscriminate procedural information, but what's included in the article is just very basic background info which is rather essential to any baseline understanding of the card game. WP:NOT#GUIDE is one of those dangerously oversimplified policies which can be applied to virtually anything if we stretch it just a bit (is Microsoft a guide to the Microsoft corporation?). — xDanielx T/C 03:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not a game guide, it's an article. It is only logical that an article about a game contains information about how the game works (although it would be good if this article had some more information on the influence/history of the game).

- Comment - It may very well be that some of the game guide / rule material needs to be removed, but the game seems notable, in that even though it was cancelled some time back, there are still a large number of people devoted to it. It even still has monthly newsletters (e.g. September 2007) created by the community! Perhaps the article needs to be fleshed out with some information about the community created around the game...? --Slordak 19:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I'm going to refrain from commenting on the article's ultimate fate, as I've yet to come to a solid conclusion about this one. However, I would like to comment to Cruftbane: I admire and appreciate your dedicated work and presence at AfD. However, I think your prose here is unnecessarily harsh. There are ways to critique, criticize, and even argue against an article without stooping to belittling.

- Delete as this article fails WP:NOT#GUIDE. Lack of reliable secondary sources are evidence this game is not notable.--Gavin Collins 12:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Just because the article lacks reliable secondary sources is not evidence that the subject is not notable. I could write an article about Abraham Lincoln, fail to include reliable secondary sources, and the subject matter would still be notable. As Chunky Rice pointed out above, Scrye and Inquest magazine have both covered the game, so it's not that these sources don't exist. It's just that the article needs someone to add footnotes.

- Delete Sorry if it seems we are being unkind to a newcomer. But anyway this process most likely will take 5 days so there is time to debate. The slang nn above means not notable. Many groups exist. To show this one needs its own article what would help is multiple non trivial reliable sources. This site doesn't count since it is not independent of the topic.

- I see. Well, Mudgirls have gotten a lot of media coverage in print, radio and TV, but most of this has been by small local publications who do not have online archives, so I haven't been able to find many on the web. I will have to contact the founder to get more references, which may take a few days (she lives in the woods). Meanwhile, I have added a couple links to what online articles I have found.

Fails WP:BIO. In 2 years since the first AfD, no substantial secondary sources have been added, only one site which (trivially) lists her films. There is no indication in the article that she meets the guidelines; no notable awards, coverage in the mainstream media, etc. are claimed. Also, as is well known, a long filmography is not an indicator of notability for pornographic actors, since such films can easily be produced by the dozen. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

The article is a magnet for POV, OR and vandalism, and mostly consist of a top 10 list and a hunk of unsourced trivia and analysis. As well, there are no sources that prove their significance. An article published by a magazine isn't notable simply because it caused some debate. There was a similar article for the 100 Greatest Guitarists that was deleted roughly a year ago.

- Keep — the nominator claims POV, OR and vandalism, but such is not the case here. Editors are not contributing a discriminate hodgepodge of what they think are the greatest songs of all time, it is a list that — while some may agree or disagree with it — was published by Rolling Stone a well-known magazine. Any POV, OR or related issues on Rolling Stone's part should probably be debated in a different forum, and vandalism should be handled just like any other vandalism. At wikipedia, it provides a valuable reference point for editors when writing articles about the individual songs; yes, the magazine would still need to be included as a reference, but this again is the starting point. At the very least, if this list is deleted, then the main article should provide a link to the main article; however, readers would lose the direct links. [[Briguy52748 21:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)]] (P.S. — I never saw the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" article, but from the comments at that afd debate, I would guess that was an indiscriminate list of someone's opinion without relying on an official list. This is not the case here; Rolling Stone, as stated before, is a well-known magazine. A person can accept or reject the list, as is the case with any "all-time best" list as they see fit).[reply]
- Keep, I simply don't see why this article is POV, I mean the article is about an actual article, not on what someone thinks. Since this doesn't need it, there should be limited editing with this article, because it really is a vandalism magnet, but it's got to stay.--Mariogc 23:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This is of clear note from a major music magazine like Rolling Stone. I would however actually like to see it develop and actually see the Top 500. Now that would be more useful ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This is a rather noteworthy article and I see no reason to delete it. Catbox 9 23:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Mild delete - I somewhat disagree with the notion that this is "a POV article" -- the whole point of Wikipedia's POV policy is to make sure that the Wikipedia articles themselves are written from a neutral perspective -- the subject of the article does not have to have a neutral perspective (i.e. most movies, songs, books, documentaries, religions, etc., have a definite POV, yet it's possible [and acceptable, and expected] to have a non-POV article about them). However, I agree with the sentiment that this article lacks notability -- in other words, there really is nothing to write about (..."Rolling Stone published this article about their opinion of the top 500 songs of all time. Yay."). It seems almost fancrufty -- what Rolling Stone says in their magazine is for their readers to post/discuss in appropriate places (of which Wikipedia is not one). Rolling Stone is not the accepted authority for music rankings -- the Billboard charts are (largely due to the fact that Billboard's methods are quantitative/objective, whilst Rolling Stone's are qualitative/subjective). Again, there really is nothing to write about (..."Rolling Stone published this article about their opinion of the top 500 songs of all time. Yay.") Piercetheorganist 01:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I don't see this Wikipedia article as instigating discussion posts derived from the Rolling Stone magazine article; Wikipedia has policies in place that prohibit general discussion about the topics (i.e., the remark "I thought "Song X" by Band Y sucked and didn't belong on the list" is not allowed on the talk page and should be removed on sight). Yes, I agree that articles such as these can attract vandalism or fanboy point-of-view posts, but that's what policing this article (and similar articles) are for. For me, this article seems to meet the standards of POV, verifiability and (yes) notability. While Piercetheorganist makes a point that the opinions of Rolling Stone are indeed qualitative/subjective (compared to the quantitative/subjective methods of Billboard magazine), the fact is that the article itself generated discussion in the mainstream and was a bold undertaking by Rolling Stone. [[Briguy52748 12:27, 15 October 2007 (UTC)]][reply]
- Comment These are opinions too: Dow Jones Industrial Average and Billboard Top 100, and they are just as defining and notable. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment An additional point - We have articles that list Grammy Award winners (many different articles, in fact), and these are voted on by a committee based on opinion of what singer, song, album, etc. is most deserving. All this article does is reference a magazine article that awards songs another distinction - the best songs of all time. [[Briguy52748 23:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)]][reply]

This was originally in Tagalog and was translated. I wasn't sure if this was an attack page or not; I was concerned about the potential for slander/libel. This might qualify for deletion as a neologism, since there are no references. I thought I'd bring it to AfD and let everyone express their opinion.

Samantha Basile[edit]
- Samantha Basile (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
This totally-unsourced article, created by an SPA which never edited again after creating it, appears to be a hoax: a search on "Business 2000 Magazine," the publication in which the subject purportedly placed 35th on a list of the "Top 100 Women in Business to Watch in 2000," generates one lone Google hit, so it would appear the publication may not even exist, let alone ever have named the subject to their "Top 100". Searches on "Samantha Basile" and "oil" or "petroleum," the industry in which she is purported to be a "leader," return a small handful of hits -- including, it appears, to the subject's LinkedIn profile -- but nothing suggesting the subject's supposed prominence in the petroleum industry. --Rrburke(talk) 16:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salian Frankish Mythology[edit]
- Salian Frankish Mythology (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - (View AfD) This article lacks Reliable sources, and can not be made verifiable. It is based on a single student's writings and so it does not have the required NPOV. It also contradicts with major scholars on several points. The concerns that arise from the article have been discussed with the original author, but he is not willing to adress the arguments. johanthon 18:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and merge with Continental Germanic mythology-- It appears it one of those scholar wars. I believe that deletion is not a good way to handle the problems in articles, that they create. A better way is engaging editors writing in a closely related field, eg "continental mythology" Victor falk 04:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm sorry, that was not a good thing of me to say. I see that both this and Salian mythology have have been nominated for Afd, and that the debates on the discussions' page are not tepid. French history and nordic mythology are two areas where I can say I know a bit more than the average man on the street, and I say it's WP:SNOWBALL that it is a notable subject. However, given, as you say, the paucity of sources about late antiquity germanic tribes, much in the field is speculative. My opinion is that in such cases it is recommendable gather the material in an article with a broader scope, as to have as many opinions as possible in related but uninvolved subjects. What not to do is to let the article fester as a "lord of the flies" povforkisland.--Victor falk 16:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)--Victor falk 16:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The subject of Frankish Mythology is certainly an interesting one, but the article is about Salian Frankish mythology. Since there are hardly any sources on this one, it is hard to make an article at all. So Viktor's WP:SNOWBALL is highly optimistic: How can we make an article on a case without sources??? Viktor is also forgetting the way the original author reacts. He tries to belittle a wikipedian because of her occupation, and tells you to keep your "senseles waffle". This is part of the problem. The article Salian Frankish Mythology was the same as Salian Mythology but Rokus01 (the original author) changed that in a redirecht page when he noticed that the majority of votes on Salian Mythology were for deleting the article.

This is a non-notable amateur film maker.

- Keep because first of all this article is a stub and needs time, as the creator Diament (talk · contribs) himself requested on his talk page [27]. Secondly, to nominate an article based on one's POV is not the way to go. In this case User Dweller (talk · contribs) was offensive, condescending and dismissive of the article's creator, see discussion at User talk:Diament#Yeshiva University: "According to our article, there is no Rosh Yeshiva and if there is, it's Rabbi Lamm. ??? ...That's potty. Doing that completely destroys all meaning of the term "Rosh Yeshiva"." Thirdly, the article is part of a series and it's placed in template {{YU Roshei Yeshiva}} so to yank it would be to make holes in the attempt to document a coherent set of important inter-related finite biographies. Fourthly, if anyone feels that Yeshiva University has "too many rosh yeshivas" and doesn't like that, then there is an easy solution to that by simply placing them into Category:Yeshiva University rosh yeshivas where they belong, rather than hurling abuse at the creator of the article violating WP:AGF, WP:CIVIL and WP:BITE and running to delete the first writings of a biography about an important rabbi. Finally, this article needs to be given the time it deserves to develop, such as by requesting more information and input from editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and should not have been subjected to this abusive form of nomination.

- Erm, just to explain the context and correct several incorrect assertions, I actually removed this article from speedy deletion candidates on the basis that it was about a Rosh Yeshiva. When I realised that the term was debased, I listed it for deletion debate.
- Now, this article's up for deletion because I have concerns about the subject's notability, not because I am worried about YU's use of terminology. Nor is inclusion in a template (he wasn't... he is) grounds for keeping an article. If he's notable, and the subject of RS, great, we'll keep the article. I'll happily speedy close this AfD as "keep" myself if you add some RS and drop me a line.
- Finally, if you have any complaints about someone's behaviour, the proper course of action is to raise them at the user's talk page, where they're guaranteed to see them, rather than at an XfD, where it is part of a user's watchlist that may be thousands of pages long. There's no abuse from me here... and I'd like to think I'm one of the least bitey admins around. --Dweller 13:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, but I stand by my assertions. And I note your comments above that you feel about Yeshiva University's Rosh Yeshiva's that "the term was debased" (you are repeating a POV judgment and canard on your part. How on Earth can you judge? Unless you are prejudiced against YU.) I am not the one writing the article, user Diament (talk · contribs) is and he has requested more time, so let's see he how he goes about it, but even so, there is no reason for him to be working under the gun as it were. Indeed if the article is about a faculty member of a major university/yeshiva that can be traced through his writings and accomplishments then there is no time limit here, so do not make this up please. The point about the subject being on a template is that there are really very few Yeshiva University Rosh Yeshivas and in fact there are far more Haredi and Hasidic rabbis who use the term. You seem to be missing perspective. Modern Orthodoxy in the USA only has YU as its college-level school/yeshiva so therefore all the Rosh Yeshivas are in one institution, whereas the Haredim and Hasidim have hundreds of large and small yeshivas and each one is headed by rabbis who title themselves "rosh yeshiva/s" and they may not be of any great stature themselves. Thus having a position that is called Rosh Yeshiva at the flagship (and only) institution of higher learning affiliated with Modern Orthodox Judaism in America is already a basis for notability. Finally, I re-read your comments, and I just cannot see how describing the hard work of an editor as "potty" to be anything but hurtful. That's my take on the situation. Thanks, IZAK 14:41, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Dweller: I will ask you now for the third time, please stop the name calling during this discussion. It's not about if you or anyone thinks that anyone or a place is "potty" and you have now obviously revealed that you dislike YU, which makes your moves here tainted by POV and a violation of WP:NPOV, so stop it. RIETS which is the main "yeshiva" part of YU is the oldest yeshiva in America, and for a very long time it was the only yeshiva in the USA, it deserves a little respect. YU is also a fully accredited university that is always ranked in the top 100 universities by the authoritative annual survey in US News and World Report. Only a relative handful of rabbis have held or hold the position of Rosh Yeshiva at YU, so anyone who has such a position, at this yeshiva which is also a major US university is perforce notable, and it can all be cited and sourced. Thank you, IZAK 13:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- comment Dweller makes a valid point about the title of Rosh Yeshiva in YU. In most yeshivas there is one Rosh Yeshiva - usually a very distinguished position. In YU there are many Roshei Yeshiva. So much so that the title of Rosh Yeshiva is YU is the same as the title of Ram in many other institutions. Nevertheless YU is a major center of Torah learning in the united states and most the Roshei Yeshiva are notable on their own merits. There are a few borderline cases. IZAK makes a good point, if we exclude the few borderline cases we will leave holes in a template. Kinda like having an article for every episode of a TV series and leaving out one that is "not notable". Jon513 12:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Expand/clarify or delete. Stub does not prove N at all. IZAK, thanks for pointing out the diluted use of the term at YU. If this title is given to many rabbis at a certain institution, it does not mean that they should automatically be given the same notability status that other main Rosh Yeshivas are given. Importance of the institution and internal promotion decisions of an institution do not automatically make someone N on WP, no matter how learned and 'important' they might otherwise be. Article should be immediately updated to pass Wikipedia:Notability (academics) or Wikipedia:Notability (people).--Shuki 08:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Shuki: That is why there is Category:Yeshiva University rosh yeshivas for this sub-group of Category:Rosh yeshivas. Who is going to give them farhers and figure out if they are as great as some of the other rosh yeshivas? You know, no-one has sat down and defined exactly what qualifies anyone to be a "rosh yeshiva" or how that honorific should or should not be used. It's the same with YU rabbis, many people to the right of YU, feel that YU is a "semicha mill" but if you really look closely, how many rabbis does YU produce compared to the other yeshivas combined? Very few. If you add up all the shtiebel rebbes and all the people that the Haredi yeshivas put out who become teachers, out-of-town kollel members, rebbeing in the elementary and high and bais medrash level, (and they function and are called and respected as rabbis, even though many of them lack formal semichas) then the Haredi yeshivas far outpace places like YU in "producing" rabbis. So if YU has a name for its top magidei shiur and calls them Rosh Yeshivas it is not as if every person in the place has been given that title. Our friend Dweller says that YU lists 33 current rosh yeshivas. So? All for the one and only Modern Orthodox institution, and how does that compare if you add up all the other rosh yeshivas (sometimes called "menahelim" and sometimes called "RaMs") who would constitute infinitely more. But it is a question of degrees, and there is no need to agonize over it.IZAK 16:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- So what's your point? If Belz starts doing the same thing, does it suddenly make all of their RYs notable? Some people would think that all rabbis are notable, but we know that on WP, it ain't so. Same for RY's. Wikipedia:Notability (academics) or Wikipedia:Notability (people). There should be a definite distinction between 'the' main Rosh Yeshiva or two. Again, are you basing notability on title? That's like saying that Dr. Nick Riviera is a real doctor. --Shuki 18:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Shuki: That is why there is Category:Yeshiva University rosh yeshivas for this sub-group of Category:Rosh yeshivas. Who is going to give them farhers and figure out if they are as great as some of the other rosh yeshivas? You know, no-one has sat down and defined exactly what qualifies anyone to be a "rosh yeshiva" or how that honorific should or should not be used. It's the same with YU rabbis, many people to the right of YU, feel that YU is a "semicha mill" but if you really look closely, how many rabbis does YU produce compared to the other yeshivas combined?

Substantial coverage in reliable sources constitutes such objective evidence, as do published peer recognition and the other factors listed in the subject specific guidelines." This looks like some urban factory where they made mattresses or light bulbs or something. Was the first light bulb manufactured there? There must be literately thousands of these buildings all across America. Just because some "artists" currently live there does not make it notable. Did Andy Warhol live there, or was it a textile factory for the last hundred years. Just because _you_ live there does not make it notable, regardless of the awesomeness of your Pabst parties. Furthermore a mention in some Gawker article is not notability. Anyone can write a blog post, that is the definition of a blog. Was there an editor involved, was there any research done on this building for the article. Again, because some friend of a friend wrote something on a blog doesn't mean anything regardless of readership. A lot of people also bought the Weekly World News, should there be wikipedia articles about alien babies. If this continues, next thing you know every Hipster in Williamsburg is going to want to write a wikipedia article on the converted loft they currently live in, to re-enforce the awesomeness of the apartment they're paying $3K a month to live in.

This is a poorly-written stub that cites no sources (because there are none) and could be mistaken as even meaning to slander Haredim who are non-Hasidim. "Yeshivish" is perhaps a slang word, and there is already a Yeshivish article for that. If it is another way of describing non-Hasidic Haredim, then add this paragraph there. But there is absolutely no "yeshivish" "culture" just as there is no "Chasidish culture" or "Modern Orthodox culture" etc etc (but yes, there is Hasidic Judaism and Modern Orthodox Judaism.) The article (actually it's one silly paragraph) makes wild claims that the term applies to American Orthodox Jews in yeshivas, and if so, then it could have been added to the yeshiva article or to the Orthodox Judaism article. While one can speak of Orthodox Judaism and Haredi Judaism, they may perhaps be called "cultures" although Judaism is a religion not a culture. This article, the notion it tries to convey, and the way it tries to convey it, is absurd and fits nowhere because it verges on the vulgar and there is no way it could ever be quantified especially in a serious encyclopedia.

This may be a perfectly valid article. I'm unable to penetrate the ad-speak employed in the article. It originally had suggestions for a web search, which screamed to me of probable advertising placement from companies in the top of the Ghits. I'm just very, very suspicious of this article. I'm going to say this is for not meeting WP:Notability but I'm mostly wanting feedback about whether this could be a legit article or not. Pigman 01:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page asserts notability, which I believe it hasn't got, so I have AfD'd it. An appearance on Dave Attell, doesn't mean notable. A google books search turned up only a few passing mentions and a web search turns up numerous advertising sites. The article lacks references for any of its assertions as well.

Claims of notability are weak at best. No sources in article to show notability -- gsearch for James Smith + Sarasota + author don't come up with this James Smith in the first several pages.

These articles were part of my attempt to expand coverage of the Lone Wolf (gamebooks) series, and unfortunatelly, it was before I understood things like notability and out of universe perspective. These articles and their contents have all been transferred over to the Lone Wolf wiki at Wikia, so it is safe to get ride of them on wikipedia and redirect these pages to the main Lone wolf article, Lone Wolf (gamebooks).

Cool Hand Luke 02:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply] Jews against zionism (2nd nomination)[edit]
WP:POV neologism. One cannot just take a phrase and lump together a bunch of tangentially related items and claim that it is an article. The term was only used in the past for a website that was deemed not notable, see both Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jews Against Zionism and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jews against zionism, not to mention Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation). To me, it appears we have a person desperately trying to circumvent accepted policy, by any means necessary, to push a fringe POV and/or original research-based synthesis and neologism. If anything, there is grounds for calling for a Speedy Delete in this case. Avi 00:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
