Decisional analysis of complex systems[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Decisional analysis of complex systems (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Delete this was nominated a few days ago but the discovery of a copyvio truncated that debate. The copyvio has now been resolved (the source page is now licensed under GFDL - see this. The problems initially identified with the article remain, described by that nominator as: "This bizarrely vague (cf WP:BOLLOCKS) article references only papers by one author and fails WP:RS. It may also be redundant to decision analysis" seems to me rather apt. Carlossuarez46 23:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - reads like an essay ("In the current highly complex, changing, and exacting environment, we need more efficient approaches..."). Not enough reliable, third-party sources to verify the information. If the main website used as a reference is owned by the author, then the source is not valid, as it is not third-party. The author should be advised that Wikipedia is not the place to publish his personal findings unless they receive independent coverage. --Boricuæddie 00:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep

1/ decisional analysis of complex systems is not redundant as Decision analysis subject is information and decisional analysis of complex systems sujects are decision making and complexity.
2/ The main website used as a reference is not owned by the originator of the method (Janusz Bucki) but by IEGD Institute. On request I can send to you the permission of the author.
3/ See External link that shows that the method BADSc is recognised and is belonging to the public domain. Therefore Sources are showing that BADSc method is recognised for more than ten years by french management school HEC (N°1 in France), scientific school as CNAM and by CNRS, which is a branch of the french Ministry of scientific research. Robertatum 08:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - does not pass notability test as it does not demonstrate significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Links to sources authored by the originators of the theory are not independent, and non-English sources do not belong in English wiki. Gandalf61 09:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Really? non-English sources do not belong in English wiki. Where is that written? • Lawrence Cohen 13:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I paraphrased (and possibly oversimplified) WP:SOURCE, which says "Because this is the English Wikipedia, for the convenience of our readers, English-language sources should be used in preference to foreign-language sources". Gandalf61 14:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Thank you. Well, based on that, it's certainly valid enough for a stub-length article, if nothing else. So, discounting that discounting non-English sources is nothing more than a suggestion, I say... • Lawrence Cohen 15:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Fine for a stub length article. • Lawrence Cohen 15:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • What we're discussing here is not the article's length, but it's notability. Your comment has nothing to do with the discussion and the concerns raised by the nom and myself. --Boricuæddie 22:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I meant that it seems notable enough for a stub-length article, with that sourcing. • Lawrence Cohen 22:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Not really. I have created several stubs with more sourcing than that. Also, it's not actually a stub; it has enough sentences to be considered a Start-class article. Therefore, it is quite badly sourced for a Start-class article. --Boricuæddie 22:15, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Change to delete based on the above info. • Lawrence Cohen 22:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1) Vocabulary and grammar: problem solved.
2) Copyright status: article under GFDL licence. On request, other prooves can be shown.
3) Third party: the originator (J. Bucki) is a party; English WP is a party, Robertatum is a party and sources mentioned are independant and are parties as well. So there is a third party. The author of the article is not the owner of the site where it is reproduced and where you can read it is under GFDL licence. The author is neither the owner of the site, neither a member (list mentioned at the bottom of the first page)[1]
4) Writer of the different sources : Of course, there is the originator of the approach but there are several writers: Sylvain Roth (DGA)and Y Pesqueux (HEC) for instance...
5) References and sources langage: "English-langages sources should be used in preference to foreign langages sources" don't mean that only english sources are available. French-langage sources are available too as french langage is recognised as an international langage as well as spanish.
6) Notability: sources show that the specific approach is published by CNRS, by HEC School of Management, ranked Number 1 in Europe, by the scientifique school École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris. A scientific great estabisment, the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers CNAM, is promoting this approach. ISBN and ISSN numbers are also mentioned.

  • Delete the current article. I think that an article on this topic is possible, but this article currently needs too much work to fix. I have emailed Robertatum to offer to mentor him for a few weeks. John Vandenberg 12:26, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I answered John Vandenberg that I agree his offer, even if there is no guarantee or promise that the future article will be validated by English Wikipedia. Up to your convenience, I am ready to be helped to work either on the above mentioned article in order to improve it, either on a new one. On the while, this article can be deleted or kept. Up to you according your interpretation of Wikipedia regulations.

You made the demonstration that Wikipedia is a "complex system" and we are "autonomous agents working together by different ways towards commmun objectives".Robertatum 15:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Bertram[edit]

Mark Bertram (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

as he does not meet WP:BIO, i.e. he has not played in a fully professional league. He's not even in the first team squad according to the NUFC official site. Nufc2006 22:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Actually, he is a core player of the Newcastle United professional football team. And contrary to a comment on the article's talk page, he is listed on the site and has played in games (frequently, too) - see e.g. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Hence he does meet WP:BIO, which says that "[c]ompetitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis" are "generally notable." — xDanielx T/C 08:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The question is, has he played a game for the first team? Nick mallory 11:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment No way is he a core player, the article only has a couple of sentances to back this, and no he hasnt played for the proper team (no squad number), only the academy/reserves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nufc2006 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No automatic notability till he's crossed the whitewash and appeared for the 1st XI. --Dweller 14:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:BIO: Has not played in a fully-professional league. Number 57 15:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per all the delete votes above. I've not checked every single one of the references to www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk above, but the ones I did check refer to reserve games, youth team games, and pre-season friendlies only. Fails WP:BIO. - fchd 16:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and re add when part of first team squad for competitive game or assigned a first team squad number. Kingjamie 18:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:BIO. Whilst the number of sources XDanielx has found, none of them are independent, nor do any of them make any real claim for notability outside of the game (which would be the only possible saving grace). Deletion without prejudice of recreation when/if he plays at a professional standard. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 20:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - has NOT played in a fully professional league and is certainly NOT a core player (or even a fringe player) for the NUFC first team (as anyone with a modicum of knowledge of Premier League football would know). His non-notability is in fact proved by xDanielx's first link, which is a list of NUFC first team squad numbers, on which this player does NOT appear! All the linked articles refer to him playing in youth/reserve/friendly (i.e. NOT fully professional) matches ChrisTheDude 21:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Has not played in a fully professional league, i.e. the Premier League, Championship, League One or League Two, as demonstrated by xDanielx's links. Multiple references are shown above but these are to the club website which cannot be considered an independent source for the purpose of demonstrating notability. --Malcolmxl5 21:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Multiple references are shown above but these are to the club website which cannot be considered an independent source for the purpose of demonstrating notability." In practice that is untrue. If there was a match report on Newcastle's website that said Bertram had played in a competitive first-team match, that would be enough to establish notability. ugen64 01:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

51 Deep Productions[edit]

51 Deep Productions (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Prodded & removed. My original reason for prod included the fact that it was mainly a list of links to myspace users; these have been removed but the main problem is lack of notability and this remains: less than 10 non-MySpace or Wikipedia hits on Google. This videos they've produced have between zero and ten non-MySpace hits each. It's just promotional. Could be speedied under WP:CSD#G11 or WP:CSD#A7, but I'm assuming they contested the prod by removing it. Kateshortforbob 19:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. Per Criteria for Speedy Deletion - Articles / #7. This article fails to assert notability of the group, and a cursory inspection of group to reduce article to a stub fails notability guidelines. --slakr\ talk / 23:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Speedy deletion templates cannot be removed by the article's creator, while proposed deletion templates ( {{prod}} ) can. Removing {{prod}}, however, does not disqualify the article from criteria for speedy deletion, but it does disqualify from further {{prod}}'ing. --slakr\ talk / 23:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Hungarian Americans[edit]

List of Hungarian Americans (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

As with List of German Americans this list has a problem making legitimate criteria for why a ethnicity-nationality-occupation intersection such as the ones present on this list is notable. For quintessential examples of Hungarian-Americans who are known for their Hungarian-American-ness...Hungarian American. Further, half of these people hardly qualify as Hungarians by any definition...they may have been born in Hungarian-territory, which would make some refer to them mistakenly as Hungarians, but many are Jews and Germans who have no relationship to Hungary except chance birth-place. Bulldog123 23:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment As with the other similar lists, without an explicit definition for inclusion, these lists are a mess. I would Delete unless strict definitions are required, with references. MarkBul 23:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Criteria for inclusion in lists

Lists should always include unambiguous statements of membership criteria based on definitions made by reputable sources. This is particularly important in the case of difficult or contentious topics. Beware of those cases in which the definitions themselves are disputed. Many lists on Wikipedia have been created without any membership criteria, and editors are left to guess about what or who should be included only from the name of the list. Even if it might "seem obvious" what qualifies for membership in a list, explicit is better than implicit."

I would delete anything that does not fulfill the Wikipedia criteria for inclusion - that's what we're here for. MarkBul 00:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So.... you would delete Category:Hungarian-Americans for the same reason? or not? Kappa 22:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: List of Hungarian American is not a random "ethnicity-nationality-occupation intersection", as claimed in the nomination, but a list of notable Americans falling within the established United States Census Bureau ancestry category "Hungarian Americans"; USCB defines ancestry as "a person’s ethnic origin, heritage, descent, or 'roots,' which may reflect their place of birth, place of birth of parents or ancestors, and ethnic identities that have evolved within the United States."[32] This official definition is applicable to List of Hungarian American as well; the statement, "these people hardly qualify as Hungarians by any definition...they may have been born in Hungarian-territory, which would make some refer to them mistakenly as Hungarians" is therefore pointless and irrelevant. Pia 01:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - List is encyclopedic, well sourced (containing 39 footnotes), valuable to our project and, as with this user's other deletion proposals this is a highly disruptive, WP:POINT proposal. Bad faith is shown by the fact that the editor proposing the deletion states that the list is not sourced, and by the fact that earlier articles proposed by this editor, then deleted (many containing up to hundreds of references), often against consensus, were not merged but blanked from our project entirely. Improve, don't delete. Badagnani 18:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this, and he other similar articles should have been kept as well. One incorrect deletion does not justify others. Lists offer an opportunity to say something about the individuals, and this facilitates browsing, an important function of an encyclopedia. DGG (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete trivial, arbitrary, OR, NPOV, and SYNTH, how Hungarian does one have to be to be a Hungarian American? And what WP:RSes tell us that the person is that much? Carlossuarez46 17:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - You see very well from the dozens of footnotes! Or did you even look at the article before voting here? It seems that your vote is always the same at these pages, so maybe it doesn't matter to you. To answer your question, the sources include The New York Times, U.S. government agencies, and Hungarian government websites. Those are reliable. I'm not sure that any of these facts will matter to you, however, as it seems you're rather dead set on blanking this content (rather than merging, as seems to have happened each and every time in the against-consensus deletions of several of these types of pages in recent weeks) for our users. Badagnani 19:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of reliables sources exist both to demonstrate the notability of "Hungarian American" as a class, and whether particular individuals can be classified as a Hungarian American or not. Since WP:OR and WP:NPOV apply to categories as well as lists, it is not reasonable to simultaneously say that this list violates those policies but that a category would be better. The list is plainly manageable as it exists now, and if the list were to get too large to maintain, editorial discretion can be used to limit the inclusion criteria (or split the list), using one's brain and consensus among interested editors to arrive at that inclusion criteria (or how to split it), which can then be explicitly stated in the article per WP:LIST. Despite an aggressive, and occasionally successful, effort to delete lists of this type, no actual consensus has ever been demonstrated that these lists ought to be deleted. If anything, those deletions demonstrate that AfD and DRV are currently flawed mechanisms for implementing the deletion policy, which says that "If there is no consensus, the page is kept ..." DHowell 02:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on an absence of policy violations and based on the list's adherence to the quality criteria set for lists, including the verification guidelines, at WP:LIST and WP:CITE . Also "keep" based on the fact that the nomination does not focus on any short-coming of this particular article, but makes wide policy interpretation for such lists in general, without reference to any policy or guideline. The nomination does not show how this particular list may fail the quality criteria set for lists. (Not even Wikipedia:Featured list criteria) mentions the above grievances as a guideline to adhere to in order to control the quality of lists. It is not mentioned in the guideline for WP:LIST#Lists_content either.) There is no WP:NOR violation: The article has legitimate criteria to show why it is notable; its notability claim is established by the abundance of reliable published sources giving the intersection notice and performing similar groupings or listing of people who fall within this intersection. No WP:NPOV violation: The article has a stated inclusion criteria. It is not limitless or in any other way failing WP:NOT and WP:LIST guidelines. There is no WP:OVERCAT violation: obviously, this is not a category. In addition, the nominator uses faulty logic in asserting that an item's inclusion on one list (such as Jewish) must ensure its exlusion from another list (such as Hungarian American) or one list must be deleted. There is no such policy, as far as I know. The nominator attempts to introduce a novel, personal policy, which has so far never reached consensus: Lists of notable persons constructed on the basis of inclusion in a certain immigrant population or based on a country's ancestry classification are not inherently policy violations by reference to WP:NOT#DIR. ("Wikipedia is not a directory" proves equally problematic, without exception, for ALL lists on Wikipedia and could be used as a deletion criteria for every single one of them--lists are navigation aids, easing focused research of narrow topics, which would otherwise overload the system if transformed into categories; they are thus a form of "directories" by definition. The WP:NOT#DIR therefore lacks relevance in deletion discussions concerning individual lists and should be carried to the portal for all lists.) Pia 01:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:NOT#DIR doesn't, and can't, apply to all lists. There is an WP:OCAT. It's just in an altered form than a category, but still has the exact same problems. WP:LIST says nothing about not deleting well-formed lists; I don't understand why everyone keeps citing a manual of style article. The article has no justification for notability. The existence of external references does not substitue as an explanation of relevance - which should be added to a three-way intersection list like this. Bulldog123 22:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, sorry, but I'd say your assertion that WP:OCAT applies to lists because "It's just in an altered form than a category", is a little bit premature. And your second claim, that the article lacks relevance, is also a personal opinion that may never be shared by the community here or the world around us. But in case "no explanation of relevance" or "no justification", rather than "policy violation", is your proposed deletion criteria, I will still spell it out then: The reason the majority of participants in the deletion discussions regarding "XXX Americans" may find lists such as List of notable Hungarian Americans/notable African Americans/notable Taiwanese Americans/etc., etc., valuable and relevant is that most immigrant groups or people connected by ancestry in the US value the contributions of their ancestors (for having overcome the hardships of migration, having rebuilt their lives from scratch, in many cases combined with the added hardship of indentured labour and/or enslavement). Lists of accomplished members of immigrant populations can therefore be a source of pride, a positive form of "collective memory of achievements" for younger generations; lists of role models offer people courage to face prejudice and to find hope, nourish dreams of success, and assurance of their intrinsic worth in moments of crisis, self-doubt, etc, etc. In my opinion, that is why so many, myself included, find your claim that these lists lack "relevance" both incomprehensible and arrogant. Pia 09:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's WP:SYNTH and undue weight when one less-reliable source is used to justify inclusion in a list where notability is asserted by many strongly-reliable sources (such as those that define who a Hungarian-American is, while a journalist might accidently not define Hungarian-American in the same way). So yes, there is a policy violation, but as we all know, articles don't have to be kept just because they meet WP:V. I see no justification for occupational-divisions such as the ones on these list. Or any comment on them perhaps being WP:OCAT-like. There are plenty arguments for keeping Category:Hungarian-Americans, but few that apply equally to this list. Bulldog123 22:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, WP:SYNTH is when you join A and B together to advance position C. This list does not "advance a position". It is a navigation aid, designed to give easier access to notable individuals in the population sector "Hungarian Americans". There is no policy violation: Like all non-trivial, useful and valuable Wikipedia lists, this one brings together a group of existing articles related by well-defined entry criteria (here the criteria is "person of verifiable Hungarian American ancestry with verifiable fame/notability"). It is factually accurate, verifiable against reliable sources that accurately presents published knowledge. It is well-constructed and easy to navigate (it is sorted into sub-sections, which you appear to confuse with "three-way intersections"). It has value as a research tool for people who are interested in the accomplishments of immigrants of this ancestry, and as a navigation aid in general for those interested in learning about famous individual contributors to the American society from this group. If it is the definition that concerns you, I would simply suggest including in the article the official United States Census Bureau definition of ancestry [33], against which journalists' definitions can be checked for accuracy. Pia 09:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - As stated above (and promptly ignored), The New York Times, the U.S. government and Hungarian government websites are not unreliable sources on such matters. Your view that these lists are policy violations, against all evidence that they are well sourced and of great value to our users, represents a fringe position, probably motivated by POV that "everyone should just be American" and that national origins should be ignored. This POV, like all others, should be eschewed in the strongest terms here. Badagnani 01:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep for the comprehensive reasons shown by Pia and DHowell. Finally, we have WP experts providing analyses of the multitude of faults used in the current deletionist campaign against ethnic/national lists--which has resulted in the deletion of several valuable articles with their WP information being lost. Hmains 02:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. Keep this, as well as all other list of citizens of USA by nationality. List is rich and informative. We aren't guilty that there're so many peoples on this world. At last, why do we have encyclopedias? Articles about so many things. Some things someone finds unimportant, but somebody other earns for living on those and makes millions of dollars out of that. In these lists, only the persons that are worth of mentioning should be there, not just "any man picked up from the street". At last, these info is useful. Do you know how many successful international business meetings and business cooperations (I mean all of them, from small shop and taxi cab events to statemen's meetings) began/became more appreciated, just because someone knew whome "belonged" certain "celebrity"? Kubura 22:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • You can see very well that the category is not broken down by occupation, all on a single page, with footnotes, in a very usable manner. The category serves a different purpose. Do not attempt to dismantle or disrupt Wikipedia, making obtaining necessary information impossible for our users. Your previous deletion rather than merging of huge amounts of similar data in several deleted articles (some of them deleted against consensus) shows bad faith. Badagnani 01:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no notability justifying why Hungarian-American by occupation are notable. Just because some of these people might write Hungary-oriented writing, doesn't mean everyone sourced as having Hungarian-American background is equally a "Hungarian-American writer." So it is WP:SYNTH-like. Bulldog123 11:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. While Wikipedia may not be a compendium of lists, these listings are extraordinarily helpful with research, as those searching for individuals of a particular ethnic background can easily find specific individuals and possibly contrast with others in the article. These listings for deletion are disruptive, in my opinion. They smack of nationalism and seem to presume that Americans have no (or shouldn't have) interest in the extreme diversity of the ethnic fabric of America. ExRat 02:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • And a category can't do this? To me, voting "Strong Keep" on some List of _x_ Americans, while deleting others smacks of nationalism. Leuko 03:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment: These lists often (or should) be referenced with birth and death dates, occupations, etc. Categories don't do that. ExRat 04:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It has s already been pointed out that these lists are greatly superior in their content and usability (being on a single page, with individuals broken down by occupation, complete with footnotes and references), for ease of navigation and finding the information they are looking for, for our users. Thus, your argument holds no water, and your continued assertion that "categories are just as good as lists" in this context shows bad faith against the editors who have repeatedly pointed out that this is clearly not the case for our users who rely on having this information readily available, and not blanked by presumptuous characters such as yourself.

List of fatal cougar attacks in North America by decade[edit]

List of fatal cougar attacks in North America by decade (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

A list of non-notable people. A brief mention in the Cougar article about the numbers of fatal attacks adn their geographic distribution would be sufficient. Corvus cornix 22:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and reference better with standard citations. The individuals are non-notable thats why they don't have individual article. Cougar attacks are important because they are used in the debate on their endangered status, and whether they should be hunted. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with a mini-merge to Cougar. Seems pretty indiscriminate to me. I agree with Corvus cornix in that a brief summarized version of these statistics on the Cougar page would serve the same purpose. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 23:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A one paragraph summary with numbers would do the job. The names and ages of individuals don't tell you anything a summary wouldn't. MarkBul 23:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the articles principal author, I think I should put in my two cents. First, this is the fifth article in a series of fatal animal attack lists in Wikipedia. There is a list of fatal shark attacks, wolf attacks, bear attacks and alligator attacks. I'm working currently on a list of fatal snake bite victims, and other users are currently working on other animals. Second, nationally recognized magazines like Field and Stream and Outdoor Life chronicle these events, why shouldn't Wikipedia. In order to address Mr. Richard Arthur Norton's concerns: I'm still working on the Notes and References, so you will see a dramatic improvement in this section that will address your concerns. (I thought it was important to put in the basic references contemporaneously.) --Hokeman 00:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a justification for this page. And Wikipedia is not a chronicle of everything. MarkBul 00:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While Wikipedia is not a news archive, the large body of news stories over the years about cougar attacks (including a number of stories about cougar attacks in general rather than a particular single attack, show that this topic satisfies WP:N. I might not agree with an article about each attack which makes the newspapers, but collectively they are notable and a documented list is appropriate. See Google News archive with 28,900 news articles about either specific cougar attacks ot the attacks collectively. Since each gets news coverage each could get an inline reference, and general information could be referenced to the articles which discuss what causes the attacks, who the targets tend to be, etc. Edison —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edison (talk • contribs) 03:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Perfectly valid list criteria, there aren't that many cougar attacks, perhaps a name change to "documented" cougar attacks is in order. The phenomenon of cougars attacking humans is definitely notable. IvoShandor 08:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I'm really just a user of Wikipedia and I find an list of this type with the details like this to be worth it (I do have a concern as to why document this type of thing, must be another motive... but in general the list isn't a bad idea, combining it down to a summery just wouldn't be enough even though I think that also should be done in the cougar article.

Glossary of terms for multiraciality[edit]

Glossary of terms for multiraciality (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Delete per Wikipedia is not a deictionary, specifically states Wikipedia is not should not contain"Usage guides or slang and idiom guides." which I believe this falls under. I am not sure that a glossary page of this sort qualifies as an encyclopaedia article. Guest9999 20:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment While not an endorsement, there is precedence for a list of this type: List of ethnic slurs has been nominated four times for deletion, 3 with "Keep" consensus, and one with no consensus. I think that as long as the multiraciality list remained neutral, it could be helpful to some people, as there are many times it is asked what the "politically correct" term is for someone of multiple ethnicities. I'd like to see some references cited for the "historical" names mentioned, and it may be helpful to remove the red links, as not every term needs its own article. One problem I find with this article is the lack of references, which could lead to WP:OR addition of "terms" that may or may not be used, or common. If kept, I'd suggest perhaps it would be best if the list were trimmed of non-verifiable terms, and the terms included be properly sourced with references. Ariel♥Gold 22:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I had a brilliant argument, but I either didn't save it or it got lost in editing, so this will have to do. There's no prohibition against glossaries, and it is important to keep track of ethnic slurs, particularly if if it's a case of not being aware that a word, new to us, is well-known and offensive to others. Mandsford 22:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Please take a look at WP:NOT#DICT. A glossary is a list of definitions, which is specifically mentioned as not being suitable for an article. If the information belongs anywhere, it's in Wiktionary, where people can keep track of these terms by using the categories in there.--Michig 06:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or trim to remove original research per ArielGold. --Bfigura (talk) 22:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The issue is not whether or not this information is useful, but rather whether the article should exist according to WP guidelines. It doesn't belong here, and neither for that matter does List of ethnic slurs for the same reason. If the information is sourced, perhaps it should be moved elsewhere rather than deleted.--Michig 20:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete First, I'd bet that a good portion of the non-Wikilinked terms are neologisms. Second, as the list is almost without sources, who decides whether a phrase is "generally considered offensive" or not? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 07:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep weather YOU personally consider the terms to be offensize or not i think not having this article would only be witholding information and sweeping it under the rug, if the human race did want for so many racial terms why do people use them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryliss (talk • contribs) 11:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I didn't say that I found the terms offensive. The glossary itself divides the terms into those "generally considered offensive" and those "generally considered inoffensive". Since the article cites no sources, I questioned who makes the determination that a term is generally considered offensive or inoffensive? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 21:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Language-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hmm, I dislike the inclusion of offensive terms in this list (remember that Wikipedia is an International encyclopedia so blabbering on about American free speech [or freedom to cause offense] are irrelevent). This list is a useful tool for people researching the 'multiracial' issue. I really wish people would stop quoting various Wikipedia policies (not a dictionary, etc.) and other pointless stuff. Wikipedia policy is decided by the very few Wiki nerds who have too much time on their hands. The vast majority of Wikipedia users dont have time to create such pointless policies and love this kind of article and other lists. Constantly nominating good articles for deletion and trying to sound important by quoting stupid Wikipedia policies just puts people off using Wikipeda. 213.230.130.54 21:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Reply Please be civil, Wikipedia policies (apart from WP:5P) are meant to represent the consensus of the community if you feel that this is not the case you should probably being it up on the talk page for the policy/guideline - not here. Also your arguemnet for keep seems to be WP:USEFUL - everything is potentially useful to someone - that does not mean it should be included in an encyclopaedia. [[Guest9999 10:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)]][reply]
  • Comment Stop quoting irrelevent policies. People who just quote policies in their replies really have no worthwhile opinions. Why should things which are useful not be part of an encyclopaedia? Encyclopaedias are about collecting knowledge and therefore everything is knowledge. People like you and those who like deleting things just because they think it's nonsense are why Wikipedia is not taken seriously and not considered as a "community" anymore. 213.230.130.54 19:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Objection to deletion and closure - No concensus was achieved. Four voted for deletion and one voted against. I know that the number of votes isn't always important (this is so that Wikipedians who consider themselves to be more important get their own way) but given the arguements expressed above why was it closed? And DO NOT delete my comments from this page again.213.230.130.54 19:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - the incident did not "make a headline or two", it was an international incident.

This was an important sporting event which has implications on cultural norms of behavior and social values. Johntex\talk 14:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Three of the references are news stories from the same two day period - the fourth no longer works, but is obviously from the same period given that it was added with the others a week later. No evidence of long term notability; Wikipedia is not news and a short burst of present news coverage about a topic does not necessarily constitute objective evidence of long-term notability.

Delete basically unsourced BLP: under WP:BIO, athletes may be notable if: "Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them)." She fulfills the first part, but not the general criteria of secondary sourcing - a one liner in a website of former record holders really doesn't suffice. Furthermore, if she's so notable how come we don't even know her birth date or even year or any other of the basics one would expect in a biography? Carlossuarez46 19:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable.

I admit, the reason I found this page was this wonderful discussion at AN/I that pointed out that someone at http://kevin.tumlinson.net was advertising on Craigslist to write Wikipedia articles for hire. That should not, in itself, be a reason to delete this particular article, but should probably to be mentioned.

What should be a reason to delete this particular article is that it doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). J. Kevin Tumlinson seems to be a fine -- and ambitious! :-) -- writer, but so are ten million others. We should not be the vehicle through which a previously unknown writer finds fame.

The result was delete. In the interests of full transparency, however, the situation is a little more complex than a simple deletion. During the AfD, there was basically a cut-and-paste move of this content to Ivan Dobsky, which is currently a redirect to Monkey Dust; it appears that nothing was ever merged to that article, so there are no GFDL issues with deletion, in that respect. Since consensus has clearly deemed the content unsuitable for Wikipedia, I am going to: (1) repair the cut-and-paste move by merging the edit histories into one place at Ivan Dobsky, so that other administrators can more easily find the full history if needed; and then (2) delete the merged history, except for the redirect to Monkey Dust. So, to recap:

Non-notable and unencyclopedic topic. This is a list of funny quotes from a character in a TV show. The show has a page, and the character a nice sized section of that page.

  • Partial Merge I didn't know anything about the character, and from reading both the page in question and the page for the show (which is fairly comprehensive) I'd like to suggest merging, if not the complete list, a portion of it to Ivan's section of the main show article. The list allowed me to get a firmer understanding of the humor of the character. It could be handy if there was some use of these quotes in the show article. --Torchwood Who? 22:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Huh, now that the article is redirected maybe we should close the AFD? I was trying to find more sources of Ivan, but google is pretty dry... even google uk isn't flush with articles.

System Shock 3[edit]

System Shock 3 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

PRODded with the rationale: The phrases "a rumored game", "very little information is avalible [sic]" say it all, really; WP:CRYSTAL.. However, the article was previously deleted via prod; re-prodding is invalid, so to AfD we go. Nonetheless, I agree with the prodder's reasoning, and will add that a Google search turns up a lot of hits, but mostly unreliable sources or very trivial mentions of the rumor. Some sources describe BioShock as essentially a System Shock 3 (to the extent that it is a spiritual successor), but that designation is by no means official, and is meant in a different context from a direct sequel, so a redirect would be confusingly inappropriate. Can anyone find any reliable sources to substantiate the development of an actual System Shock 3? If not, delete per lack of reliable sources and the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. — TKD::Talk 16:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The station he works for, WKNE (FM) has no entry and only serves a small area in Southwestern New Hampshire and Northcentral Massachusetts.

Supercouple (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This article reads as a personal essay, and in the couple of dozen source links I checked, none used the word "supercouple". Guy (Help!) 14:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, substantially OR, neologism, and so on. Please note the AfD for List of major supercouples and other supercouples for some related discussion on this topic. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep but needs major trimming. It does seem to be pretty widely used in soap operas, as in this article. It seems to be a neologism (or at least rarely-used) as it applies to celebrities and fiction outside soaps though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I had a feeling that this article would be nominated for deletion...since I knew that it would take me a while to get around to fixing it up further. The word Supercouple is not a neologism. It has existed since the 1980s. And is even widely used to describe celebrity power couples, as witnessed in this article. This article is also not completely original research. The parts that are will be sourced with valid references. To delete this article would be like deleting the Supermodel article, or the Superhero article, etc. If you check my user page, you will see that it states that I am working on fixing this article up even further, just as I've been working on fixing up several soap opera supercouple articles. And for the soap opera couples and the celebrity couples, the word Supercouple is most definitely used. Furthermore, the word Supercouple does not have to be used for couples that have influenced popular culture, which is the case for the primetime supercouples. The primetime supercouples are the only ones that don't exactly state "supercouple" all the time, because the word is not used all that often to describe primetime power couples, but is widely understood that they are supercouples. The list of soap opera supercouples and the list of celebrity supercouples definitely use the word. I really was not planning on fixing up this article right now, because I'm working on fixing up the Tad Martin and Dixie Cooney article right now, as in soon that article will be up to Wikipedia standards. The Supercouple article is well-served and well-needed. The Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone couple and other soap opera couples that are truly super are also well-served by this article, and the word...Supercouple...is most definitely notable.

  • Comment First official usage seems to have been at the 1986 awards.[41] --Dhartung | Talk 20:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just like deleting superhero and supermodel, eh? Let's see, superhero gets 3,180,000 ghits; supermodel gets 2,940,000; supercouple gets 36,200, including articles like "Be a Super Couple and Have a Successful Marriage" which cannot really be considered to be about the same thing. I'm also not sure about whether the statute of limitations on neologisms runs back to the 1980s or not, but the current opening sentence does say that the term is one. Is there a good article in there trying to get out, through the gossip, synthesis, and original resarch? I can't see it. Sheffield Steeltalkersstalkers 20:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that the term is also used to refer to modern high-stress marriages where both partners have high expectations. [42] This doesn't seem like a very well-defined subject area. Sheffield Steeltalkersstalkers 20:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Note, but what that proves is that the term spread from just being used to describe fictional power couples. Not that it is not well-defined. The term was still coined within the realm of soap opera due to the supercouple Luke Spencer and Laura Webber. And is mostly used to describe couples, fictional or not, seemingly super in union. Flyer22 20:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment. I see a good article not too far away when it comes to this article. The opening sentence of this article should have probably never used the word neologism. I put that word in there at the suggestion of an editor, and because, yes, back then...the word was a neologism. But to further address notability of the term Supercouple, I also want to state that the term is thoroughly used in scholarly. For example, this first reference here...[43]...is what I'm going to use, besides other references to source in the lead. Other scholarly references of the term Supercouple include these...[44][45] And it is widely studied in reference to film supercouples as well, such as in this reference...[46] (which is the same as the first reference that I listed in concerns to this, but this part is studying film supercouples even more specifically). Reliabe news outlets, such as The News & Advance, also use the term. [47] I will go ahead and alter the lead of this article soon, and change and source the wording of the first paragraph below that, and take care of better formatting of the references beside the couple names on the lists of this article later. The Primetime supercouples list and the Film supercouples list are supposed to provide references validating that those couples are important couples within popular culture; those references do not have to state the word Supercouple. If the reference beside the couple addresses their importance and significant impact on society, that is what is required for the listing of those two sections.

      • Oh, I know that Google hits are not the be-all and end-all, Mike. Not sure if you were addressing me on that subject as well as others, but I felt that I'd answer. Right now, I'm organizing the supercouple lists of this article in my Word document on my computer, and soon I'll apply a neater version of these lists to this article.

        • I was addressing SheffieldSteel, not you. You've been working very hard on sourcing these articles. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • I did not provide google hit information in order to make an argument about notability, but as a response to the argument "deleting supercouple would be like deleting superhero or supermodel". Say what you like about google ratings (and personally I do not believe they provide definitive proof of anything) but the relative values do, I think, give an indication of how ridiculous that argument was.Sheffield Steeltalkersstalkers 21:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
            • I do not believe that argument was or is ridiculous at all. The term Supercouple is just as notable as the term Supermodel or the term Superhero. The term Supercouple is actually used more on television these days (and not just soap operas) than the word Supermodel or Superhero is, from what I've seen, and given how it is so widely used to describe notable celebrity couples as well, it seems to be used more so in the media than the word Supermodel or the word Superhero is these days. You can believe otherwise, of course, but, personally, I don't believe that the term Supermodel or the term Superhero is any more notable than the term Supercouple. And the articles of the name Supermodel and of the name Superhero here at Wikipedia aren't in that much better shape than this article (at least not at this time). As for this article, as I've stated before, I'm working on more sourcing for it, and better formatting of its lists, which will be done soon. I'll gather more information concerning what makes supercouples (also known as power couples) and add it to this article over time, but it certainly is not in extremely bad shape. I'll most definitely be tweaking out its problems for as long as I come back to Wikipedia. Flyer22 23:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I have changed the lead of this article to better reflect the Supercouple term and I have added more sources to it, though I don't believe that a lead really needs a few references or several in it, as even Wikipedia guideline states. And the rest of this article is more of a matter of sourcing a few more instances, and better formatting the lists, which I will be doing during this deletion debate, and if this article is spared, further after that as well.

  • Keep I've heard this term several times... Hello magazine syndrome. Notability is not in issue given the amount of gossip magazines who use the term and enough sources back this up. I suppose WP:RELY might be a difficulty to come over once the article has been beefed out a little, but this is manageable I think - current sources are overweighed with soap gossip magazines, but BBC and Washington Post also feature. When tidying it up, it would be nice to see it being a little less US centric? I'll keep an eye on the article and see if there is anything I can do to add some UK/European relevance... eg Jordan and Peter Andre! --manchesterstudent 12:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MadKemist/CurousGregor/R:128.40.76.3/etc. has been through two bouts of sock puppet trimming, and is presumably wise enough to game the system more intelligently than that. I think the fact that R:128.40.76.3 added novel material to the article is strong enough evidence that it's a WP:DUCK.

On the one hand, I expect that many of the hits for Bar'el will be to blogs and forums that are not reliable sources; on the other, I expect the same to be true of the hits for Sharon (political blogs/forums). As I can't read Hebrew, I can't make a personal judgment on whether the three sources provided by Yonatan constitute 'significant coverage'. However, I'll take his word on it and am thus weakly inclined to believe that the topic is worthy of inclusion. However, whether it should be retained on the condition that it is improved (after all, sources have already been provided) or deleted without prejudice to sourced recreation is something I'm ambivalent about.

This is a plot summary of a book without its notability asserted.

While the author may be notable, that does not make his books automatically pass WP:BK. Also, it is unclear to me what else can be reported about this book beyond a simple plot summary. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

List of Ibanez players[edit]

List of Ibanez players (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Contested prod. Zero context or verification, permanently incomplete, inclusion criteria vague. Just another "intersection by location" bare list. Deiz talk 09:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note to closing admin - List appears to have been brought in line with list guidelines and the Telecaster featured list. I would not have nominated the list in its revised form, suggest disgregarding opinions voiced prior to 7 September. Deiz talk 03:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I created the page merely to remove clutter from the original Ibanez article so – if only technically – I am the author. There is an entire category of these pages Category:Lists of guitarists (players of brand x or y), including List of Telecaster players which was a Wikipedia:Featured lists. Should this list's content and intro only be improved to a similar standard as List of Telecaster players as it well can be, instead of deleted? Deon Steyn 09:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • List of Telecaster players is an excellent list, beyond being guitar related lists they have nothing in common. I've also split off bare lists from main articles and am happy to see them deleted if no-one cares to improve them. Is it possible to make a good list out of this? Sure.. clear inclusion criteria, intro, sources, context for each entry.. if your prod removal had alluded to any of that we might not be here. Deiz talk 10:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, like I said earlier, I'm not too familiar with AfD arguments, hence the hamfisted "prod removal" edit comment :-) But my alternative was to do nothing and lose the list, which as it turns out as the potential to become something like the featured list. There are about 7 or 8 of these player/brand lists, half good like the Tele one and half bad. How now brown cow? put a "major edit" notice on top and hack it into shape like the Tele list?

  • Delete List is completely unsourced / original research. Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) - Review me! 11:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. List of Telecaster players is extensively sourced, has descriptions for every player and is well organized. This list has none of those characteristics- it's indiscriminate, unorganized, scantily detailed, and doesn't even have the model of guitars played by each player. TheLetterM 17:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Okay, the page has been completely revamped. It now looks exactly like the List of Telecaster players page and lists only those players that are notable and definitely associated by Ibanez (they all play signature models carrying their name) citing their notability and association to Ibanez. Deon Steyn 20:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I really think its over categorization to have list of people who played <instrument>. Maybe categorize? Corpx 22:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the difference between "list of telecaster players" and "list of Ibanez players" is that the telecaster is a model of guitar whereas the Ibanez is a brand. There must surely be countless professionals who play Ibanez guitars so I think a list such as this violates WP:NOT#DIR. Also, the topic smacks somewhat of promotion. Update: On reflection, I note there is indeed a number of other articles of this type and if this list had more selective inclusion criteria such as that at List of Gibson players I think it might be viable. In any case, I see no reason to pick on this one article and leave the rest, IMO they should all be considered for deletion together as a group or not at all.

There is a small trivia section, oh wow small it can be either integrated into the main article or removed simple. And could someone tell me how it is covered enough in Big Brother (US)#Format? It only mentions the basic use of the Veto. I vote to keep this because it can be written in such a manner it is encyclopedic and informative.

  • Merge The Power of Veto article on the Big Brother page does not adequately explain the rules of the POV. It doesn't explain how the rules have changed over the years, having major effects on each season. Example: For many years, all players competed. Then they changed it so three players were picked. Then they changed it to a random drawing for three. These rules changed the way the game was played. The Power of Veto doesn't need it's own page, it just needs to be explained properly on the Big Brother page -- right now, it is not properly explained. It is a major component of the game. I don't know whose job it is, but I'd gladly merge the info onto the main page and someone with authority can delete the other one.--Teehee11 21:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

General reply[edit]

. O.K. I'm new around here, and I see that I have to write two articles, one for Wikipedia and one for critics. . The importance of this article is revealed, in part, by the amount of vandalism it has attracted. . The DVD Loose Change has its own article. The DVD from ae911truth is the new Loose Change. It has only been out for two days, but by the time it's as old as Loose Change, it will have a very long bibliography. . I discovered earlier that I cannot re-add an article which was previously deleted, no matter how much circumstances have changed since the earlier discussion, and apparently, I can't even read the earlier discussion. It just gets a quick removal. . This article will have several categories of opponents. It merely presents facts about an organization which merely presents evidence that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Therefore, there is no "conspiracy theory" involved. It has been asserted elsewhere that in any gathering where architects and engineers are present when Richard Gage makes his presentation, 90% of those people join his organization. Where do you imagine he got 150 professional members in a fairly short time? . Dr. Steven Jones has presented a chemical analysis of material retrieved from the WTC and of dust from the neighborhood along with his analysis of the physics of the falling structure. He was faulted for this by the engineering faculty at BYU because he is "only a physicist," and not an architect or structural engineer. ae911truth.org presents a list of 16 indicators that controlled demolition was used at the WTC. One of these indicators is the thermite/ thermate residue Dr. Jones identified in the formerly molten metal from the site and the "iron rich spheroids" retrieved from the dust. Formerly molten metal? Yes. Dozens of people, including the president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. mentioned TONS of molten metal under each of the three high-rises that collapsed at the WTC more than a MONTH after the demolition. That cannot be explained by the theory of burning jet fuel (a/k/a "kerosene"). Very large quantities of thermate were apparently used in this demolition. There is easily enough evidence of arson here that an independent congressional investigation of the events of 9/11 is called for, which is the goal of ae911truth.org. Given all of that, within the historical context of the conversation, this organization is very significant. Wowest 04:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are new, you should stick around Wiki longer and observe before creating articles. You learn by making small edits and working your way up.

problem[edit]

Given the amount of vandalism this article has attracted, it should be protected at some level. It is, therefore, inappropriate to merge it into another article. Wowest 04:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional problem: some of the professional members of the Architects and Engineers organization do not wish to have their organization listed on Wikipedia due to the recent publicity given to defense contractors and other similar organizations hiring staffs to manipulate Wikipedia articles. The organization is still formulating a consensus on this issue, however. Other, less flattering, comments regarding Wikipedia were made by another architect in a recent email. If it is deleted, it should be deleted in such a way that it can be re-added in a few months when more "reliable" sources are available, without running into the "speedy delete" problem, which I don't have the foggiest idea how to handle. Wowest 04:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The 'vandalism' you say this article has attracted was actually attempts to make it a balanced and NPOV article. The fact that you and your comrades removed such comments show why such articles have no place on wikipedia. This is not a place to push ludicrous conspiracy theories if you cannot handle the insertion of the occasional fact to counter your lurid and baseless accusations. 'In fact, the overwhelming majority of accredited engineers and architects have not considered the issue at all. Like most Americans, they accepted what they saw on the network news programs, which came from press releases of the Bush administration. Presumably all engineers and architects currently working for the Federal Government will agree with this assessment. Among retired governmental employees, whose pensions are no longer in danger, this is no longer the case." Nick mallory 10:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Consider the insertion of "self-professed." This was cited as a reason to delete the article for "fraud" because there is no such thing as a self-professed professional. In fact, all professional members of the group are licensed professionals who must FAX in copies of their credentials to become members.
If you visit [www.patriotsquestion911.com], you will numerous examples of accomplished and high-ranking individuals, mostly retired, who seriously question the official conspiracy theory (OCT) laid out in the 9/11 Commission Report. Some now retired military personnel (mentioned elsewhere) have stated that they waited until they were retired to criticize unconscionable activities of several administrations, Democrat as well as Republican.
Let me see! What did you say?
  • "(1) This is not a place to push ludicrous conspiracy theories"
Actually, there is no "ludicrous conspiracy theory" mentioned here. This article is about a RAPIDLY GROWING group of professional architects and engineers (ten new members since we started this conversation) promoting the idea that WTC buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition and that there should be a congressional investigation. Nothing I have seen on their website alleges that the demolitions were carried out by Martians or anyone else.
Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks;
Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment
67% also fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating the anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7
Kansas City, MO (Zogby International) September 6, 2007
If fifty-one percent of Americans agree with the goals of the group, how can you call their position "ludicrous?" Most people would disagree.

Or, are you disagreeing with my objection? Let me try to edit the POV out.

And, by the way, (August, 2007) "James Quintiere, Ph.D., former Chief of the Fire Science Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has called for an independent review of NIST's investigation into the collapses of the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11."
  • "(2) if you cannot handle the insertion of the occasional fact"
Apparently I should have used that {fact} thingie. Did I get it right? No, I didn't. Exactly what percentage of professional engineers and architects promote the OCT ?
  • "(3) to counter your lurid and baseless accusations."
Baseless? Kevin Ryan was fired for blowing the whistle about the quality of the steel used in the WTC. Military personnel have been court-martialed for expressing political opinions about 9/11 on their own time, "out of uniform."
Lurid? I'd welcome suggestions on how to fix that. I tend to over-react to certain kinds of troll-editing.

I didn't removed my last comment and stand by it completely. In my opinion you are quite deranged. You believe in something which runs counter to all the available evidence. You are entirely at odds with reality. All the points you've made have been thoroughly debunked time and again and yet you still keep making them. Even the kids behind the ludicrous 'loose change' video aren't claiming there was any 'controlled demolition' in their latest version. Claiming that anyone who actually believes in what the evidence obviously shows is 'a troll' or 'a vandal' doesn't actually strengthen your argument. Nick mallory 07:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interesting bit of projection. You start out with an ad hominem argument -- I'm "deranged." So nobody should investigate what I say because if they agree with me, they'll be "deranged" as well?

I "believe in something which runs counter to all the available evidence?" You don't have a clue what I believe. Numerous witnesses, including the president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. report seeing tons of molten metal under all three high-rises at the WTC more than a month after the 9/11 events. There is nothing about that in the OCT report from the 9/11 Commission. There is nothing there about building 7, at all, as a matter of fact.

"All the points you've made have been thoroughly debunked time and again" -- that's false. That's simply what Popular Mechanics claims, but that doesn't make it true. Popular Mechanics attacked a lot of minor points and brought in an irresponsible piece of anti-semitic "art," which has nothing to do with anything. That's called "guilt by association," and it's pretty desperate. When it came to Norman Minetta's testimony, the Popular Mechanics "expert" -- twenty-something Hearst Corporation employee Davin Coburn -- tried to argue that some OTHER plane was "50 miles out." 50 miles out from WHERE? "...and yet you still keep making them" -- that's true. We need a truly independent, possibly international, investigation that looks at ALL of the evidence.

Dr. Steven Jones did the first analysis of the formerly molten metal from the WTC and the first analysis of the black residue in the dust. His analysis has now been validated by several other scientists. It was molten iron which had never been steel.

"Even the kids behind the ludicrous 'loose change' video aren't claiming there was any 'controlled demolition' in their latest version." -- that's false as well. They have decided to focus on WTC-7 as a better use of time in their video. Let's see a recent news item:

"'I think the official conclusion that NIST arrived at is questionable,' explained Dr. Quintiere. "Let's look at real alternatives that might have been the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Towers and how that relates to the official cause and what's the significance of one cause versus another."

........ VOTING is UP THERE somewhere. ^ ..............................|

It's already 9/11 on the East Coast ........ Six years ago, I was sitting at my desk when MSNBC popped open a new window on my desktop, interrupting my work. What I saw was truly horrible. People were jumping out of windows, to their death, to avoid being burned to death. As I continued to watch these awful images over the next day or so, I accepted the messages that came with them, uncritically. Fanatical members of some extremist cult had crashed airliners into buildings. I believed every bit of it. I was very sad. Some human beings had grown up in a culture in which someone couldd come along and brainwash them into "dying for Allah." Then, as quickly as they had come, the awful images stopped appearing on television, but the conversation continued. A lot of people were angry. Some fastened American flags on their cars and went speeding up and down business streets as if their violating the law would somehow revenge America's honor. ( When something similar happened in Germany, ending on August 31, 1939, the government announced that the state sponsored terrorism from Poland would end, and the next morning WWII began. We learned about the deception at the Nuremberg trials. The Germans had been attacking themselves nearly thirty times, blaming it on Poland, and their troops rolled into Poland with 2,000 tanks certain that they were defending their country from terrorists. After the war, Americans called the German experience "mass hypnosis.") ......... A few years later, I came across other interpretations of the 9/11 events. I met an older woman who hadn't been hypnotized at all. She saw the buildings fall and thought "so that's why had to steal that election." She may or may not have been correct in her assessment, but it was her own assessment, rather than mindless repetition of something she had heard on television. I woke up. A few things definitely happened on 9/11. A few other things had to have happened as well, but we don't know exactly what they were. ......... A new study came out this week. Liberals and conservatives have brains that work in different ways. Conservatives are more tenacious in their thinking (liberals would call that bull-headedness). Liberals are more flexible (conservatives would call that wishy-washy). Conservatives have less tolerance for ambiguity. Conservatives make more mistakes. (end of study) On the other hand, eighty percent of new businesses in this country fail within five years, usually from lack of capital. Along with that, the average successful businessman has been through four bankruptcies. (end of common knowledge) Some conservative business educators claim that successful people don't change their minds. Some liberals would say that trying the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, is a sign of insanity. (end of paraphrase) For every proverb there is an equal and opposite proverb. .......... People are different. I take exception to your coming in here and engaging in name-calling because someone disagrees with you. You haven't looked at all the evidence. There are pictures on the ae911truth website which you have never seen. They are NOT on the Popular Mechanics website. They are part of the slide show -- the Powerpoint presentation. Just look at it once, if you have time. .......... This is not supposed to be about whether the organization being discussed is "correct" in its opinions and goals or not. The article is about the organization. It exists. Historically, it is notable. This conversation is supposed to be about the article. Ten to fifteen new architectural and engineering professionals have been joining it every week. As soon as people start watching their new DVD, it will grow geometrically, all over the country. ..........

At the same time, 51 percent of the country already agrees with their goal: there should be a new, independent 9/11 investigation.

I suggest that we keep this conversation open for three months to see how large ae911truth is by then. Deleting it at this point would have the effect of CENSORING something which will be quite large in a few months. Then, what do we do? Claim that we've already reached a consensus when circumstances have changed?

No, that's not how things work here. If the consensus is to keep the article, or if there's no consensus either way, the article is kept. If, at the end of the roughly five-day period, the consensus is to delete the article, it is deleted. If the organisation becomes "quite large" later on and is better able to meet the notability requirements, there's nothing wrong with writing the article again with sources demonstrating this notability. Consensus can and does change, and I don't think people are going to dispute that. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delta Winnipeg[edit]

Delta Winnipeg (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Non-notable hotel property in the Canadian city of Winnepeg. In its current state, there is no claim to notability. In what notability that is claimed to is invalid. Article claims that this Winnepeg hotel property is the "highest-price[d] hotel in the city of Winnepeg...;" although this may be true during the insertion of the content into the article, hotel room rates are dynamic and are constantly changing. The source that is used to support this claim in the article is a rate search for this hotel property via hotels.com for a specific period of time. Being listed on hotels.com also does not confer notability. Additionally, being connected into the Winnipeg Walkway system also does not confer notability. At most, a mention on the Walkway article is most appropriate. Luke! 07:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't assert notability. I tagged it for notability on August 4th, and it hasn't helped. I'm guessing putting it up for AfD will have one of two outcomes: Either someone notices it and can establish its notability, or we gather consensus that the subject does not, infact, meet WP:BIO Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) - Review me! 07:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • DELETE Doesn't meet WP:PROF. All academics publish-- there's nothing remarkable about that. In fact no notability is even asserted, so it even qualifies for SPEEDY under CSD A7. OfficeGirl 07:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:PROF. The subject in question has not published any significant and well-known academic work. --Siva1979Talk to me 07:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain Notability is judged by citations, and Halpern is cited frequently enough. Cited, that is, in articles in scholarly journals, not on the internet. It's really frustrating trying to write about an esoteric academic subject like OT criticism while using a populist medium like the internet as your basic notability platform - a scholar has to be dead to be famous, or so close to death as to ready for the embalmers, before anyone's heard his name. So you'll find William Albright on the internet, (he's dead and famous, and, unfortunately for him, badly outdated), but hardly a word about contemporary living scholars in the prime of their career, like Halpern, Athas, and Rofe. Yet it's Halppern, Athas, Rofe, and others of that generation who are doing work and publishing books these days - Albright, as I said, is dead. Even Van Seters is treated in Wiki as if he's new and contemporary and a bit suss, when in fact he's been around for close on half a century. Anyway, please hold off on poor Mr Halpern till I have time to fill him out a bit. PiCo 08:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Am I allowed to vote twice, on opposite sides? Anyway, I've changed my mind. Not because I think he's not important, but because I have higher priorities than updating his entry. I'm trying to write profiles of major contemporary OT scholars, and there are people more important than Halpern to spend time on - I want to do the major minimalists first, and Halpern is an anti-mimialist, so I'm afraid I don't want him, although his "David's Secret Demons" is indeed an important book, both about the biblical David and as a shot in the minimalist-maximalist war.

The article needs merely to be expanded to show it more clearly.

  • Keep Unlike the prior poster, the poor quality of the present article is enough reason for the nomination. It is severely lacking in article text - but is marked as a stub. I see in google searching more than enough evidence of notability. For a quick snippy quote of significance, this will do: "Yet Halpern, a scholar well known for his often brilliant and radically innovative views, was surprisingly conservative in his own conclusions." This quote is from page 131 of Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From? by William G. Dever. It demonstrates notability in his field as assessed by an independent and reliable source. GRBerry 05:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • The relevant deletion policy criterion asserted is that "subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline", so incompleteness or poor quality of the present article is not a basis for deleting as long as the subject is notable. Poor quality articles can be improved. I'm not suggesting that the nom is bad-faith, merely that the subject is clearly notable per policy; a department chair of a major university is extremely likely to be regarded as a "significant expert" etc. per WP:PROF. Best, --Shirahadasha 13:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Here is a decent source for building the article, just not from the online version as the middle 40%-50% of the content isn't available online. Google books partial replicaton of What Are They Saying About The Formation of Israel by John J. McDermott has about two pages on Halpern's theories on pages 61-63. There also are plenty of scholarly articles referencing his work, but I don't have free access to them myself. This wouldn't be a source for this article, but does show that Halpern is considered an important part of the current academic debate (link is to a writing by a person near one extreme of the current debate). This is a blog by a college professor showing one of Halpern's books was used as an academic textbook in his course at Xavier University of Louisiana. By now I've established that the subject meets at least points #2 and #3 in WP:PROF. But to ice, the cake, This shows that he has been one of the heads of the digs at Tel Megiddo (other sources show him still a leader of those digs through at least 2004), and work resulting from those digs will meet both criteria #3 and #4 in WP:PROF.

(Non-reliable sources, of course, are discounted no matter what language they're in). The strongest policy statement in this regard is Wikipedia:Verifiability#Sources in languages other than English, which merely says that English-language sources should be used in preference to foreign-language sources if the English-language sources are of equal quality. Searching on the subject's name on Google in Persian gives some hits in reliable sources (newspapers in Iran, as well as BBC Persian); however many of these are just trivial mentions.

That page is an old page (on this Iranian academic website) for the contact info of that encyclopedia. It refers to her as معاون پژوهشي (Research Vice President) of that foundation.

BorzooB 23:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Research Vice President was an important role in that foundation. That foudation publishes a series of specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias and she has been the editor-in-chief of some of them (including this one, first volume, letter آ). Nonetheless, my main argument for her notability is the long list of her publications and the fact that her publications are used in academic courses such as this.

  • Delete - I've seen some in pop culture articles which should be kept. Then I've seen ones like this. The article is useless - you may as well create a list of cultural depictions of "D'oh". Unsourced and has OR issues. Delete. Spawn Man 05:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - non notable. Gatoclass 05:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-sourced, a grab-bag for every trivial mention. Delete this before God destroys 40 days and nights of rain again. MarkBul 05:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator. JIP | Talk 05:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (as creator) - nomination appears poorly considered. In what way is the article "cluttered"? it seems neatly structured to me. As for "unsourced", the media mentioned in the list are sufficiently accessible sources. "Trivial", yes; but the point of creating the article was to stop the article Three wise monkeys being overwhelmed by these items. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • the point of creating the article was to stop the article Three wise monkeys being overwhelmed by these items - that much is obvious, but the question is whether a subject like this deserves to exist on its own merits. "Stopping article x being overwhelmed by trivia" is not a good reason to create a new article, the proper solution IMO is simply to trim the amount of trivia so that it doesn't overwhelm the original article. Gatoclass 07:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, noted. At the time there were various similar pages within Wikipedia so it seemed to be acceptable & encyclopedic to create it. Let it go. Fayenatic (talk) 12:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete The page has one WTF image on it of Faye Wong doing the "hear no evil..." thing - the above user (who created the page) is named after this Chinese musician and is a big fan, see userpage[55] - this is nothing but an obvious (yet oh so clever, I must give you that) fanpage.--Old Hoss 07:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    At least that's giving credit where credit's due! Actually, the mention of Faye Wong was only added recently, but I created the article months ago as part of the long-proposed merger of Three wise monkeys with See no evil.... Oh OK, you got me, I had in mind to add it eventually. - Fayenatic (talk) 09:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete This clearly is not noteable as per WP:NOTE but it also doesn't meet the criteria for WP:LIST. --Pupster21 Talk To Me 11:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Request for clarification. OK, it's clearly going to go, on grounds of triviality. However, I don't understand the nominator's accusation of "unsourced", nor other commentators' suggestions about OR. The only conclusion one can draw from the list is that the image & proverb are notable & widespread in popular culture; hardly a "novel narrative or historical interpretation", so how does that breach WP:OR? Fayenatic (talk) 12:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete trivia-pile. A couple of notable examples might be merged into the main article, but there's not much here that isn't completely trivial. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to a subpage of the talk page. As Andrew Lenahan points out, "a couple of notable examples might be merged into the main article", and it's up to the editors of that page to decide which ones might belong. Talk pages are for the retention of this sort of material that needs editing, as WP:SUBPAGE points out. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article opens in a good way by having a nice text paragraph. The subsequent list format helps show the extent of this topic's influence in popular culture and the two images help keep the article interesting. References, as always could help. Consider this and this. The latter is a scholarly article that discusses them "in the West and their truly astonishing impact on our popular culture." So, here we have a professionally published article that directly discusses their "impact on our popular culture." Please note that it took me less than a minute to find these kinds of sources on dogpile, which further increases my agreement with the essay User:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 14:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, do not make a subpage of the Talk page, that's bizarre. Fails WP:OR, WP:V, WP:RS and WP:TRIVIA. Corvus cornix 18:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not saying the article should stay, but I have read those and I don't think it fails any of them. Please demonstrate HOW the article breaches those policies & guidelines. If you mean the sub-page idea would fail them, how does it fail the first three? I don't mind rigorous editing, or deletions, but I do get fed up of lazy, empty assertions that articles fail this or that. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are no sources, so it clearly fails WP:RS. References to movies, TV series, books, video games, etc., require that the viewer watch or play them, which is a violation of WP:OR, without reliable sources to prove that the things actually exist as the article says they exist, it fails WP:V. And why would we want a subpage of a Talk page for an article which fails so many policies and guidelines? Corvus cornix 21:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please review the articles in question fully, as there is at least one source from a scholarly journal that asserts that discusses the three wise monkeys' "truly astonishing impact on our popular culture," something I also posted a few posts above yours. I found that reference relatively easily and so I am sure more probably exist. The fact that a scholarly journal mentions their direct impact in popular culture additional indicates that any claims about original research or erroneous. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 00:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Astonished reply: References to books requires the reader to read them, so is that a violation of WP:OR? No. I know that OR is a subtle policy to understand properly, but please quote me which statement in that policy supports your assertion. Films etc are primary sources; using these does not breach WP:OR, which requires simply that the editor make only descriptive claims, not analytical ones. The article completely fulfils this policy - indeed, that seems to be the source of complaint! Fayenatic (talk) 09:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Equally astonished re-reply: So you're saying that, in order to verify that somebody's claim that such and such happens in a movie, it's acceptable to require the reader to go watch the movie? Please show me where this is acceptable sourcing. Corvus cornix 16:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You even said books, my friend! As for films: it is not a requirement of Wikipedia policies to quote films only from secondary sources e.g. film reviews. WP:PSTS says that films etc are primary sources, and that facts (but not interpretations) from primary sources can be stated in Wikipedia. Yes, you could verify it by watching. I suppose Wikipedia might add a requirement for references to state the h:mm:ss, similar to quoting page numbers in books, but even the latter is not a requirement at present. So, yes it's acceptable to give no more specific source than the film name. Thus, these claimed facts are verifiable within Wikipedia policy. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as most of it is original research, plus the rest is trivia Corpx 22:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not original research in the sense banned by Wikipedia policy WP:OR. See above. Fayenatic (talk) 11:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hear no evil, see no evil, keep no evil this can safely be deleted without anyone missing it. Many a family snapshot has been taken of three people imitating the three monkeys, with everyone thinking it's very original and clever. Ultimately, it's not any more interesting than three people imitating "The Spirit of '76", that painting of the three marching Revolutionary War soldiers. Mandsford 22:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keeep since the family snapshots you mention aren't of even minimal importance , then listing them in an article like this is unjustified. Since the cultural referents here are in material that is sufficiently important for an article, then the relationships are worth including. That's what makes the material encyclopedic--it is the relationship of one important thing to another. DGG (talk) 23:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Normally, I find myself in agreement with you; in this case, however, the whole concept of this is visual recreations of the 3 monkeys, and I think it's only a step above the snapshot. The Spirit of '76 might be a bad analogy... this seems more akin to holding two fingers behind someone's head. Mandsford 22:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
again, it depends on whether notable artists turn out to have used the work. DGG (talk) 03:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While I see no harm in pop culture articles, this is just an unprosed, unsourced, list that consists of only trivia, which is a violation of WP:NOT. Jaranda wat's sup Sports! 21:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not unsourced - it quotes primary sources as permitted by WP:PSTS. Please read the above, and present arguments rather than mere assertions. Fayenatic (talk) 11:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If deleting, permit re-creation as a proper article. The trivia will be condensed or removed. Additional references have been added since the article was nominated for deletion, and these contain material of encyclopedic worth which has yet to be incorporated in the article.

  • SUMMARY (by creator): The article contains trivia. WP:TRIVIA or WP:NOT may be enough to delete it, although the article includes evidence that notable artists have used the motif/proverb. Nominator has declined to justify his other allegations that it is cluttered and unsourced. Other allegations against the article are unsupported or disproved above, including WP:OR, WP:N, WP:RS and WP:V. Fayenatic (talk) 21:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The 'notability' argument for deletion is partly (not entirely because sources about the topic – as opposed to indidividual entries only – are still lacking) addressed by pointing out that jet packs are a "common element" in various genres. However, the WP:NOT#DIRECTORY argument has not been addressed, and the consensus is that the article does not contain any content worth preserving. I think a comparison with Spiders in culture (mentioned below), which was recently nominated for deletion and snowball kept because of a commendable improvement drive, may be useful. "[Subject] in popular culture" or "Cultural depictions of [subject]" can be a valid, encyclopedic topic (for many subjects there is ample scholarly literature to draw from), but there is a big difference between an article that provides sourced commentary and one that is little other than a directory of appearances. – Black Falcon (Talk) 18:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jet pack in popular culture[edit]

Jet pack in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
  • Delete - another example of an editor splitting off an enormous list of trivia into its own dump article instead of just deleting it. As is pretty much always the end reuslt of such WP:BHTT splits, the resulting "popular culture" article is a directory of unassociated items. These things have absolutely nothing to do with one another beyond happening to have some sort of jet pack in them. This tells us nothing about jet packs, nothing about the fiction the jet packs appear in, nothing abot their relationships to each other (for there is none) and nothing about the real world. The instinct to clean this out of the main article was good and this should under no circumstances be merged back to it. In future let us hope that instead of saddling Wikipedia with these sorts of laundry lists editors will simply delete them. Until then, we'll have to settle for deleting this article. Otto4711 04:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This doesn't merit it's own article. There's hardly anything worth keeping and the remainder caneasily be merged into the Jet pack article. Other than James Bond, the Jet Pack hasn't been a focal point of anything in popular culture. Spawn Man 05:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as it is all trivial information Corpx 22:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think the sample reference given shows that references can be found for the individual items. Referenceable is the standard at WP. Things having the same theme or major plot element are of course related to each other, although apparently not everyone sees that as logical. DGG (talk) 23:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, sorry, no matter how many times you say it, the mere presence of an item in two pieces of fiction does not establish a close association between the two pieces. "It has a jet pack in it" is not a theme. Otto4711 18:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete More culture cruft which violates WP:NOT and WP:TRIVIA and many more.--JForget 02:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep does not violate WP:NOT, as the only advice that policy gives on trivia is to follow the WP:TRIVIA guideline, and citing that guideline as a reason to delete specifically contradicts WP:TRIVIA#What this guideline is not. There is no reason why this article cannot be cleaned up and made similar to Spiders in culture, which was just kept per WP:SNOW. DHowell 02:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not a notable pop culture phenomenon. Carlossuarez46 18:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep is a notable pop culture phenomenon. Jet packs are a very common element in comic books, cartoons, classic TV and film. The list that's currently up would help in writing an actual article, and in that regard it would be a shame to lose it. 19:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say they were useful on the whole, but in this case, yes it is. Spawn Man 05:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This actually seems like a good topic for an article; there have been books and journal articles written about spiders in myth and folkore. I'll say Cleanup and keep. Zagalejo 05:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Unlike the In pop culture AfD's above, this article deserves to stay. Spiders have been depicted in numerous cultural and mythological settings, including Greek mythology among numerous others. I'd suggest renaming to "Cultural depictions of spiders" as was done with both Cultural depictions of lions and Cultural depictions of dinosaurs. CDO Lions was in the same boat as this article, but I have no doubt that Spiders IPC can be edited to the same standard - Let me get the editor who helped save those articles from the chop and I can garuntee you we'll have a referenced, proper article within a few days. I'd suggest not to pile on delete votes right now so that you can reserve your judgement until after any editing is completed. Cheers Spawn Man 05:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep, this looks slightly better than your average "X in popular culture" article. Also, spiders are much more notable than the Three Wise Monkeys or jetpacks, so there is more to write about them. JIP | Talk 05:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment So you think the Itsy Bitsy Spider in the mythology section is a keeper? Why not just delete this crap and write the article you're suggesting? This one is largely pop culture and trivial mentions in TV, games and books. MarkBul 05:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment C'mon... it's not that bad. In it's present form, it's still a decent navigational page. In any case, we don't usually delete a notable topic just because it needs cleanup. Zagalejo 06:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note - I've begun working on the article - I've expanded the mythology sections and placed references as well as synthesising the whole section into a paragraphed text rather than bullet points. Hopefully the deletionists will see how great this article can become and that it is notable. Just because soething is poorly written, doesn't mean we should delete it. I'll try to add more refs and expand some more in regard to the bullet pointed lists below the mythology section. Any help or references are welcome - Spawn Man 09:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Having watched debates about 'in popular culture' since the orang utan saga some time ago - there is indeed a place and time for such articles and I believe the current write up and process of improvement justify keeping this article.

  • Delete - OR. One person's "teen idol" may be another's "teen idle" - I mean, Michael Jackson & Britney Spears are on there!? Who in their right mind would look up to Spears now unless you wanted to copy a road map to boozing, sex and umbrella fighting? There's undue weight given to the recent years; it's not as if teens have suddenly arrived, they've been around since the dawn of time. So why the shortage in the earlier years of the list? Basically, it's impossible for anyone to update this list without major major citation inclusions or by placing their own OR. It'll end up being "Oh, I look up to this person, I think I'll add them to the list..." and someone's bound to disagree. I don't think I need to say much else; this article is obviously one of those which get deleted without thinking too hard about why. Cheers, Spawn Man 05:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This movement does not appear to have achieved any widespread recognition. There are only 44 google hits, including wikipedia ones.[56] Only one of the artists listed in it has their own wiki article (which does not mention the movement). The others have links to external sites, e.g. Chris Cook, where the wiki article is quoted.[57] The external links to museums do not reveal a mention of the movement.

Let's not get distracted from these basic Wikipedia requirements. I believe these requirements are somewhat, but not completely, modified for religious organizations. We can rely on a religious organization's own sources for statements about matters such as what they believe and who their leadership is. But we can't rely on a religious organization's own sources for proof that the organization is itself notable. We need outside sources to show that. If, as GracieRuth says, "the organization is a watershed for the messianic movement", doubtless people will have talked about it and sources shouldn't be difficult to find.

  • Keep The winners of national swimming titles are obviously notable sportsmen and women and this is linked to the article on the championships themselves. It's too large to be a part of that one though. The red links in a list allow editors to see which competitors currently lack an article, this is why they're better than categories. It also allows readers to see the years in which various people won, again something which categories can't do. If this goes we could always delete List of Super Bowl champions next.

The redlinks need to be 'pruned' by being turned into blue links by having articles written about them. Are you suggesting deleting random events from random years because no such article has been written yet? That seems to defeat the whole point of wikipedia, and indeed of an encyclopedia. Nick mallory 11:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Nick, let me make that clearer. Clearly where someone in this list is notable then the red-link should remain and an article created. My concern was that some of the red-links may be non-notable people - One can't assumme de facto that being a Swedish Swimming Champion makes you notable (or though it would seem to make it fairly certain) - this is why is said "possibly". In addition one can't assume that we would be able to verify the notability (although again it would seem likely) My take on this is that if a list is in Wikipedia because it is better than using a category then in general the fewer red links the better. Resolving this by adding notable and verifiable content is the best way to remove red-links, of course. Pedro |  Chat  11:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral - (Could be a Keep with changes) When I first tagged this article the 2-sentence lead did not exist. I believe Wikipedia lists should have a lead paragraph telling the reader why the list is notable, explaining the categories (in this case perhaps a brief description of the strokes with wikilinks to articles about the strokes), some discussion about who can compete (is this amateur or professional?), and a sentence about what sources were used to compile the list. A list of names and years by itself is not encyclopedic. The addition of the "lead" as of today is a slight improvement, but I think the items I mentioned should be minimum requirements for a List article.--Appraiser 13:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You could always add such a lead yourself. Not everyone who starts an article on wikipedia knows as much about its norms as you. As the AfD page says, an attempt to research and fix an article should be made before asking it to be deleted. Nick mallory 00:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep - I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, and personally find this article questionable, but my personal standards are not what goes at Wikipedia. Given the extensive referencing, notability and reliable sources isn't an issue here. Whatever your opinion, the fact remains that there are a lot of theories, and they have received a lot of press coverage. Keeping them in this article is a good idea because we are now reporting on the existence - and the resulting media coverage - of the theories. Putting summaries back in the actual article makes it appear that we are reporting them as fact, and detracts from the factual text there. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 13:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep for now. Article does not currently appear to be a POV fork or soapbox, appears to be well source-documented, seems rational and balanced/neutral (the "alternative theories" are discussed largely from both sides, and some provide basis for dismissal). Deletion in possible anticipation of future soapboxing POV-creep is probably not an appropriate criteria for deletion, and WP:RPP is probably a better way to handle it if edit wars or other content disputes arise. But then of course we risk WP:WV coming in to play with WP:ROUGE admins. Ah well. // (own previous question/commentary follows...) But: Question: is (or should) the AfD nomination be based on whether the article constitutes a POV Fork of TWA Flight 800? Should the two "viewpoints" be cleaned up and re-merged as it were? I understand that the two may be overlong together, and splitting off "independant" sections may sometimes be a recommended remedy for that, but it can also often be fixed by simply condensing the "facts" down to the bare minimum and providing reference links to reliable established external sources for the reader to consult if desired. Mention the controversy, give a reference link or two, and move on to the next topic. Conspiracy theorists will always be around to tell the rest of us how wrong and stupid we are, but my view is that we should avoid giving them a soapbox article that will almost by definition move us away from WP:NPOV, but as pointed out this can be dealt with as needed. --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 17:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep This tragedy is the subject of many conspiracy theories, which have received a good deal of press, and article is well-sourced (and thus the topic is notable). 9/11 conspiracy theories have their own page; while this is not as extensive, it's still a large enough body to deserve its own page--particularly when the main page for Flight 800 is long enough. --Deusnoctum 21:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep The point is not to argue that these theories are true, but that there are people who think there was a conspiracy. I see no problem with neutrality, and any soapbox addition would tend to be taken care of by our laissez faire system. Mandsford 22:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Library with no claim of notabilty Delete Jaranda wat's sup Sports! 02:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. The article makes some claims of notability for the library, such as operating the first bookmobile service in Washington state, having two full-time historians on staff, having a building designed by a locally notable architect, and having a significant history dating back to 1893. Also, the 1904 Carnegie Library building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, though this article isn't really about the 1904 building. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 02:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • No national notabilty though, just local notabilty (and I personally don't think that having two full-time historians in the staff is notable, most librarians with college degrees are historians as well), and also does it have any sources that is not the library themselves, an article can be created on the building and merge whatever useful info there.

    • "everett public library" gets 21,000 google hits. A search on my local university library gets a total of 115,000 google hits, and I wouldn't think of doing an article on it, although an article on the university itself would obviously be justified. You say "a quick google search turned up lots of other articles" - if they are from reliable sources affirming the library's notability, why not reference them in the article? My point is basically that the article as it stands does not establish the library's notability, but if someone can demonstrate some concrete evidence that the library is notable, I might be persuaded to rethink my vote. Gatoclass 07:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, it only gets 576 unique hits, and unique hits are what matter. The rest are duplicates from the same sites again and again. Of those 576, not all are even about this same library. wikipediatrix 18:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    And 200 book hits (26 are limited preview), and 18 scholar hits. Many of these are merely crediting the library for images or assistance, however this book reviews the library and its collection, giving it four stars - above the average rating.

John Vandenberg 03:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Only two decent references are need to determine notability which is defined as "... received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Did you read all 21,000 Ghits and determine that are all irrelevant? At this point I can't even be sure you read the article itself, if "[your] point is basically that the article as it stands does not establish the library's notability." The Easter Egg citations were converted into traditional inline citations last night, before you wrote this, and three additional references were added, including the Seattle Times and and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 15:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    A puff piece in "Snohomish County News" hardly rates as "signficant" in my view. Neither does an article on a restoration project for the bookmobile. In short, neither of these references have much to say about the library's notability per se. I get a local paper delivered free every week which would certainly qualify as a reliable source and which is crammed with local interest stories like these, but I'd be unlikely to use any of them to justify a Wiki article either.
    I guess the fact that it is on the National Registry of Historic Places might arguably establish notability, but then there are over fifty other such buildings in Snohomish County alone, can you imagine how many such articles would end up on Wiki if there was an article for every such building around the world? If Snohomish is any guide, there must be over 100,000 such buildings in the US alone.
    So I'm still inclined to the view that this building is of marginal notability at best. But I'm certainly not going to argue passionately for its exclusion. Gatoclass 21:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    There is consensus for some reason that places in the National Registry are notable (I don't agree with that, I instead support a merge of all those buildings without further notabilty, but I'm not willing to argue as well) Jaranda wat's sup Sports! 21:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    A puff piece in "Snohomish County News" hardly rates as "signficant" in my view. I think you're misreading what "significant" is supposed to be about. Here's what WP:Notability says:
    "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but less than exclusive.
    That significant coverage can come from any reliable source, whether it's the Snohomish County News, the Snowmush County Picayune or the Podunk County Perspicator. (oops, forgot to sign) Noroton 00:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    From a technical POV, you may be correct. However, policies are not absolutes (see WP:IGNORE) and an element of judgement is always required. In my judgement public libraries are simply not a notable enough subject as they are ubiquitous, unless there are exceptional circumstances indicating otherwise, and I hardly think being the first library in Washington State to provide a bookmobile service qualifies as sufficiently exceptional to merit an article.
    As I said below however, I think there are slightly better grounds for keeping the article based on the historic value of the building itself, but the focus of the article would then need to be changed somewhat. Gatoclass 02:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Its always sad that the local papers don't get archived online. Here in New Jersey there are 6 papers, but none have archives online, and they don't have a decent website either.

    That sounds more like an argument for deleting masses of these other entries! And just because other questionable entries may exist is not a valid argument for keeping this one.

    RE: Wikipedia:Notability (pornographic actors)#Valid criteria

    Well,.. here are some points...

    1) Alexa May has appeared in the groundbreaking and famous "Throat Gaggers" movie, which has won numerous awards, and is produced by the "Red Light District" pornography studio. Alexa's video has won praise, in this movie she is being thrown down and having large penises forced into her mouth by several different men. She is receiving oral sex ("skull fucking") which causes gagging and sometimes vomiting. The video series, Throat Gaggers, received the 2003 Adult Video News "Best Oral-Themed Feature" AVN Award. Of the eight videos reviewed at AVN.com, six have received the top "AAAA" rating, one received a "AAA-1/2" rating, and one received a "AAA" rating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa_May#Throat_Gaggers see the following...External Link (Attention! It includes x-rated photos)
    2b) She did star in Pierre Woodman's blockbuster series called "PRIVATE Castings", the most famous casting series in the adult movie industry. The series is a blockbuster series! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa_May#Pierre_Woodman_.26_Private_Media_Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Woodman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Media_Group
    3) Alexa May has been prolific or innovative within a specific genre niche.
    YES,... she was. Her famous and iconic scene in the award winning Throat Gaggers shows this! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa_May#Throat_Gaggers


    Well,... sometimes,... I have to wonder about the guidelines of wikipedia, because many less-known adult starlets have articles on wikipedia, that are less strictly viewed by administrators and other users. I can name a whole list here... just ask me.

    Who are they ??? I don't know them ! This list could go on... and on.
    Alexa May made innovative and groundbreaking appearances in the award winning movie "Throat Gaggers",... and that led to a whole new sub-genre and niche,... the famous "Throat Gaggers" series at "Red Light District Entertainment". Furthermore, Alexa May was a leading Pierre Woodman girl at Privat Media Group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.191.240.94 (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

      • Comment - References to things like Throat Gaggers should be in the article, not here ... if they were, then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion ... actually, on looking again, there are multiple links to it (in violation of WP:MOS), but that's beside the point, which is that there is no Attribution for the subject's alleged "awards" ... simply having appeared in a notable film does not make an actor notable by transference. —72.75.74.236 23:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment on 2b: I don't think appearance in "Private Castings" is in itself notable, for the same reasons that an appearance in Ed Powers "More Dirty Debutantes" series isn't. The point of these videos is that they show unknown newcomers. Some go on to become notable adult actresses, but many don't. Iamcuriousblue 00:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This is an article on a neologism that essentially asserts its own non-notability: it is an "unofficial term" not used in any official warnings or advisories. It's essentially a slang or colloquial term with no formal definition (see the talk page). The references given do mention the term, but only just, and they do not define it in any way. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, as most of the article is just an attempt to define the term, and the article arose directly from a dispute over a vandalistic edit to Tropical Storm Erin (2007) that wasn't quite resolved.

    In a way, I was trying to prove a point with this article, because the term is mentioned in a refereed article. The Erin debate did lead to the search for references in literature, and a few were found. The term is not made up at all on my end...I didn't coin it. If there was no government or university web sites with published papers containing the term, I wouldn't have added the article. But there were. I will accept the deletion if it is the overwhelming view (it does constitute a neologism), but the article will need to be revived if the term shows up in a dictionary at some point. There are many meteorological terms that are defined and not used in official warnings or forecasts, so I don't think that part of the reasoning can be used for deletion. Thegreatdr 05:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. Just because time has passed does not mean he is no longer notable. Remember that the basic notability guideline is based on the existence of verifiable, reliable sources - those sources have not disappeared over the past few months. Gerry Taggart is playing at a non-professional club now, does that wipe out his previous notability? No. Casini was in Livorno's squad last season, which gives him a certain amount of notability, and the case for notability could only be strengthened (i.e. by making an appearance for the first-team), but not weakened. ugen64 02:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • So, following your reasoning, are we also gonna keep all players (including amateur ones) originally from a professional club's youth system?!? That's news to me. Taggart's case is completely different, he played lots of pro matches. This guy failed to make a single appearance, despite the fact Livorno played in the Serie A, the UEFA Cup and the Coppa Italia last season. He was just a young reserve player who was awarded a number, a common usage in Italian club, as this can happen even for 40 or more players, especially with clubs playing European competitions. And WP:BIO says Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis, does not say Competitors who were awarded a club number in a professional team. --Angelo 08:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • He was signed from a regional amateur team, filled a third-choice goalkeeping position in the whole season and he was then released for free, and now there's no source at all around about what's he doing right now. The guy clearly fails WP:BIO (no pro appearances) and WP:N (no significant coverage). --Angelo 00:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

    The result was no consensus, without prejudice to immediate renomination. Although almost nothing of the article that was nominated remains, a new deletion discussion may be needed to discuss the new concerns. It may also be worthwhile to consider the option of merging into an alternate article, such as Delhi or Cinema of India. As regards the viability of articles of the type "Cinema in [city]", that is something which should be judged on an individual basis and with consideration for the existence of reliable sources to establish notability. – Black Falcon (Talk) 19:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This looks to be a classic case of Wikipedia is not a directory. Cyrus Andiron 16:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete or Move to Wikitravel - As a WP article, violates WP:NOT#GUIDE, article 2 "Travel guides", I quote: Wikipedia is not a place to re-create content more suited to entries in hotel guides, culinary guides, popular eating guides, gazeteers, travelogues, and the like. Notable individual locations may meet inclusion criteria, but Wikipedia does not list every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel, venue, etc. Such details may be welcome at Wikitravel, however.

    • Changed to KeepDelete as per nom, "Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages" (WP:NOT)and it does seem a little like advertising, although that may not have been on purpose., see below. Noroton 00:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • This article is no longer the one I voted to delete. I changed my vote based on User:Rothtak8's many WP:HEY improvements. I think still more work could be done in bringing information into the article from the good number of excellent sources already listed on the page, but this is now an article that happens to have lists, no longer a page that is simply a list. This is not original research since the references go to (independent, reliable) sources that cover roughly the same subject as the article. Cinema houses in Delhi are also notable enough for an article, with some multiplexes the biggest in the country and some theaters patronized by India's top leaders. The closing admin should deprecate all !votes that don't reflect the vast change in the article. Noroton 15:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    No they shouldn't, because I'm not changing my vote based on the rewrite. I still fail to see what is notable about movie theatres in Delhi and I still think this article belongs on Wikitravel rather than Wiki. Thanks, Gatoclass 21:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete WP is not a directory for things like this. --JForget 02:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Update I have been updating the page so it's not so much a directory but an informational page about movie theaters in Delhi. I also have a lot of references that you can check out. Let me know if you think it is any better? And it is not any form of advertising. Rohtak8 03:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    That's nicely done, but I still think it would be a more appropriate article for Wikitravel. Perhaps you should get a copy of the source code on your HD so you can move the article there if it gets deleted here. Gatoclass 04:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I've added more to the article, based on the sources already in the "References" section. I think the article now goes beyond a simple travel piece and delves a bit into the city's history and the cinema industry there. Noroton 17:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would also like to refer you to List of movie theatres in Mumbai, which is what I based this page off of. Rohtak8 03:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I will change my !vote iff the tables of non-notable cinemas are removed from the article. Corvus cornix 17:07, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • KeepThe "directory" of cinemas is gone, which I believe was the big issue with this page. I have kept a list of only "notable" cinemas that are/will be mentioned in the article itself as well. These notable cinemas are well-known landmarks in Delhi and I believe they deserve at least a page on Wikipedia. thank you. Rohtak8 18:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • You've kept a list of redlinks just begging to have articles written about them, all of which will surely get tagged for afd (in fact, I pledge to do so if they get written). Corvus cornix 20:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Redlinks are gone! Sorry, they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rohtak8 21:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment All right, the page has changed completely. Rather than listing theaters, it now provides a very detailed description of the history of movie theaters in a specific city. I don't know if that is an improvement or not. If we're going to do an article on movie theaters in Delhi, then we better do the same thing for every other city in the world. Let's start with every city in Maine and then work our way west across the world. See the point, my initial nomination stands. --Cyrus Andiron 15:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
