The result was keep. Clear consensus to keep, nominated by a single purpose account, and the "strong delete" !vote is discarded as it was made by the nominator who already cast a !vote in their nomination statement. (non-admin closure) B music ian 02:49, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Eizenga[edit]

not sure how this person is noteworthy? must we list every single lawyer in wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renegasps (talk • contribs) 3 February 2012 — Renegasps (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - Hi Renegasps, welcome. No, we should not list every single lawyer in Wikipedia. However, this particular individual is also a former president of the Ontario Liberal Party and held several senior positions in a major national political party. Sources are available detailing his career, and he meets the notability guidelines. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and in regards to this diff - I didn't create the article, I just added a couple of refs because I noticed it was tagged as unsourced. You can find the whole article history using the "history" link above, if you're interested. And the welcome message isn't "intimidation"... Nikkimaria (talk) 05:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete googled for notability,could only find work done on a class action from back 20 years ago, nothing since. Too much like an advertisment for the liberal party. Is this guy notable for being a lawyer or head of a Canadian Riding party? understand if he was a Prime Minister or even an MP but does not seem to be the case. This appears to be advertising for drumming up business for his law firm.~~

Also notice that article creator is a UWO graduate like the subject, is this a vanity article? perhaps a conflict of interest? Eizenga appears to have taught at UWO Renegasps (talk contribs) 02:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The creator is an IP who geolocates to the US, and the article was created five years ago. FYI. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a three-year president of a major political party in Canada. He's had coverage in that role - see [[1]] an archived copy of a Toronto Star 2006 report., for example. If kept, the material relating to his legal career seems less notable and could be reduced. Colon el Tom 03:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a notable politician. It is, btw, very difficult showing notability of lawyers, other than the few famous trial lawyers. About the only things that can work or head of a state bar or similarly important professional association or national award, or notability as something related, such as as a politician or author.

Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons)[edit]

I think it is highly unlikely that individual undergraduate degree programs offered by particular universities are notable. The lack of independent sources in this case bears that out. Mkativerata (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete coatrack advertisement. I see no reason to believe this degree is especially notable. OSborn^arf_contribs. 01:12, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Academic credentials are de facto notable. 140.247.141.165 (talk) 02:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question isn't really about an academic credential, it's a promotional piece for a specific universities degree program. OSborn^arf_contribs. 03:43, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - individual degrees, programs, and majors at a particular college are almost never notable, and this one lacks reliable sources to prove that it is generally notable. An academic credential, such as Juris doctor, is notable, but not J.D. (Albany Law School). Bearian (talk) 21:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to school district, Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District#Intermediate Schools. This school lacks non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. • Gene93k (talk) 00:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as per Gene93. As a middle school it has to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG, but it appears to be a run-of-the-mill middle school. Someone should also redirect Palos Verdes Intermediate School. The third middle school in the district, Palos Verdes Intermediate School, has already been redirected. MelanieN (talk) 22:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
merge or redirect, not delete. This is what we do about 95% of the time for intermediate schools, except when there is some really important obvious factor of notability . The whole point of the school working compromise was to avoid bring all of these here--the situations are almost identical. DGG ( talk ) 01:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. Convention with schools such as this one is, as I understand it, that they do not generally warrant a stand-alone article. Appears to be non-notable, given the lack of substantial multiple coverage in RSs in gnews and gbooks. "Merge" should not be considered IMHO, as that would run contrary to wp:CHALLENGED. If this wholly uncited text were sourced with inline citations, it would be just as easy to recreate it at the target.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:00, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John Anderson Moore[edit]

"article" with only hatnotes, templates and infobox. No real article. Night of the Big Wind _talk 20:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable war hero; the infobox states that he won the Navy Cross 3 times, and this is backed up by his entry at Military Times[2]. So he passes WP:MILPEOPLE. Also, he had a notable ship named after him. This article needs to be fleshed out, not deleted. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep now that I put a couple sentences in the article — purple heart + ship named for him = notable. Seriously, how damned hard was THAT?!?!? Lazy editors are lazy. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An article is short does not mean it should be deleted. A simple Google search leads to many results about him. And as Ten Pound Hammer did suggest, there was a ship named after him. Simple expansion of the article is all thats needed. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 21:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Violates WP:CRYSTAL. JJ98 (talk) 20:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup The last AfD for this article had a consensus of Speedy Delete due to it being a hoax. However, according to this Huffington Post article it is no longer a hoax. It is indeed an upcoming program, however, there could be some information that has not been properly sourced, or is a rumor, etc., and should be removed immediately. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 21:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect to Teletoon for the time being with a section eventually expanded to a full article. At this stage, the only thing said about the network is it will exist in the near future, nothing about a schedule or acquired shows. It's best to be cautious with this article so the usual gang of hoaxers aren't putting up false 'sources' (i.e. fan boards and inane-minutia fansites) to back up upcoming programming. Also, has to actually be run somewhere and have CRTC approval, which reading this it does not have at this point in time (without CRTC approval, it won't ever air). Nate • (chatter) 02:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If we're being hoaxed, so is everyone (Google news link). There are multiple RS which are covering this announcement as reality, so I see no reason why past AfD consensus has anything to do with this apparently plausible new network. Jclemens (talk) 02:50, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: First, this is not a hoax. There is even a press release posted on Teletoon's corporate media website outlining the matter. Second, there is a decent amount of coverage of this in the media which would make it noteworthy enough to warrant an article.musimax. (talk) 21:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he had played in the League of Ireland.

Keep as notable. There seem to be approximately 1900 Gbooks and 1000 Gscholar which mention this phrase. A cursory glance shows many with the meaning ascribed here. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is this a genuinely discrete concept, or a minor variant on Spectrum management which seems to include planning? If the former, we should Keep; if the latter, Merge/Redirect would be appropriate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Either way, it's a case for normal editing rather than deletion. Cusop Dingle (talk) 21:06, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google News searches produce nothing. We are left with the sources given in the article and the blogosphere, which cannot count as reliable--and certainly can't verify the claims and allegations made in the article. Half of the sources in the article are primary sources anyway. If this isn't deleted, it certainly needs to be rewritten in a neutral manner on the basis of reliable sources--which I was unable to find.

The Really Big Show[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable. Local radio show with lack of significant coverage. WP:SIGCOV Lack of reliable third party sources online or in print to verify article contents; of the three references present, one is simply a link to the website for the show's station. Only three other article pages currently link to this article. Most of article's content should be moved to local station article WKNR. Note: article was previously nominated for deletion once before in 2007 under a different title — see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rizzo on the Radio. Levdr1lostpassword (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note - show has never aired in any radio market but Cleveland; show has not aired on any other station but WKNR. Most mentions of show via Google news search relate to LeBron James leaving Cleveland for Miami and do not focus on show itself. Levdr1lostpassword (talk) 17:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge content with WKNR. Possibly add a paragraph describing this show in WKNR's "Programming" section.

Kongonis[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable cricket team. While the East African Premier League is notable, I would say that by extension its teams are not. Also seems to clash somewhat with the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club article. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The existence of the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club article suggests that a merge should be possible, and I think that would be the right thing to do. In WP:CRIN terms, neither article would probably meet the notability criteria, but I'd be very open to persuasion that this is notable in the context of "sport in Kenya" or even "cricket in Kenya", and I think in any case we should be encouraging rather than discouraging to articles of this kind. Johnlp (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd go along with that reasonable suggestion, particularly in the context of "sport in Kenya". I'm more open these days to articles on teams with some historical merit to them, like the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club. Come to think of it, not entirely sure why I wasn't bold and just went ahead and merged it! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are we really having this debate again? Anyway my feeling is that whatever the outcome, there needs to be a distinction between Kongonis, the franchise that exists as part of the East Africa Cup and Premier League on one hand, and Kenya Kongonis, the cricket club that is one of the founding teams of Cricket Kenya and runs teams in the Nairobi Provincial Leagues. To that effect I propose that if merging is the way forward, then it is better to merge this article with the East Africa Cup and East Africa Premier League articles than with the Kenya Kongonis article. Kimemia Maina (talk) 18:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm happy to defer to your knowledge on this, but I think if merging to the Cup and League articles is done then there should still be a reference link at the cricket club article, simply on the basis that any reader looking for information on this franchise might well go there. Johnlp (talk) 23:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment . Sounds reasonable enough. Merge the Kongonis page with the two East Africa Cup and Premier League matches then add reference to the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club page. Kimemia Maina (talk) 09:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe the subject meets the criteria for inclusion. I can find very few references to this station beyond semi-reliable websites that verify that it does exist (not in itself an argument for notability, of course).

I quickly added a reference from a major dictionary noting some of his major awards. Many more sources can be added.

Delete. I did a search and there weren't any articles that came up that showed that this group was independently notable outside of the series. I've said it before, but this is precisely the type of thing that only belongs in fan wikis. There's no independent notability to this. I can't really see making this a redirect either- there's no reason for it and the term is fairly loose. I agree that there's nothing that could be easily merged into the article for the series. It's just excessive plot summary, like you said.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Delete. WP:NALBUMS states: "In a few special cases, an unreleased album may qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it—for example, Guns 'n Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy had an article as early as 2004. However, this only applies to a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects — generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label." The comparatively fewer bits of apparent available information for this album suggests it does not meet the above standard. Gongshow ^Talk 20:20, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - going to a major tournament is definitely notable enough, and to delete his article would make WP's coverage of the 2012 ANC incomplete. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 09:25, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you point me in the direction of policy/guidelines which state being a squad member at a tournament makes you notable? That sets a dangerous precedent for squad members at professional clubs (say they're 17, just got their first contract and given a squad number) who "make coverage of Arsenal/Man Utd incomplete". Giant Snowman 09:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say anything about policy or guidelines, I was just expressing my opinion - we're allowed to disagree with policy, or they'd never change. An ANC squad member differs from an Arsenal squad member in that Camara will always be on the 2012 ANC squad list, whereas a club's squad list changes all the time. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An Arsenal squad member will always be in the 2011-12 Arsenal squad, will they not? Giant Snowman 10:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but that's a lot less significant than a major international tournament. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I'd say an Arsenal prospect probably gets more coverage than a young ANC 3rd choice keeper... Giant Snowman 10:44, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but in terms of Wikipedia, the ANC will make the front page, but a club's season will be secondary to the club's article. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:47, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The ANC might; Guinea's 2012 squad list probably won't. Giant Snowman 11:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But surely a tournament's squad list is a much more important page than a club's season? It's also more selective, so I don't see why one would set a precedent for the other as long as the policy/guideline was specific. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 11:20, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I'm inclined to agree with ArtVandelay on this. Regardless of whether they end up playing or not, players called up for major international tournaments generally receive a fair amount of media attention. Furthermore, the case isn't completely without precedent either. I'm not able to find it, but there was an afd about a year ago that of a Japanese goalkeeper who has been called to the Olympic squad but didn't play, which resulted in keep. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistani English[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is mostly original research and is based on the writings of a single author named "Robert Baumgardner", an author who has written about the use of English in Pakistan. He is not a notable authority on the subject. Most of the article is unreferenced, with multiple misrepresentations. The section on "Further reading" appears to have been concocted to suit the requirements of the authors. Another author featured in the further reading section of this article is Ahmar Mahboob (who coincidentally has an article on Wikipedia) but is not notable as per WP:PROF. Upon further examination of the references in the article, I observe:

The primary reference for the article does not use the term "Pakistani English" anywhere.
E-commerce Times does not qualify as a reliable source.
The use of the Guardian link to Shashi Tharoor's article is a misrepresentation.
The UElowermall.edu.pk link (dead but was archived with the Way Back Machine) is a misrepresentation of the source.

Much of the article is concocted, unreferenced, and there is no credible proof for the existence of this English dialect in mainstream, academic sources. Parts of the article have been directly lifted from the article on Indian English.

I recommend deletion and redirect to Indian English. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 12:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can you make clear why you do not consider Robert Baumgardner a reliable source? A quick google scholar search shows that he is the author of two books, one published by Illinois University Press and one (on South East Asian Englishes) by Oxford University Press. He also has several papers in refereed journals such as World Englishes. These are mainstream reliable sources. I am not sure whether this makes him a 'notable authority' but he is definitely a reliable source, which is what Wikipedia requires. Francis Bond (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: The term is cited [6] [7] [8] [9] in reliable sources. Afd is completely inappropriate here. --lTopGunl (talk) 12:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Analysis of citations:
  - Pakistan Research Repository, hosted by the Government of Pakistan. The author is Mubina Talat, a casual google search proves that she has no credible works on the subject.
  - Debate on Pakistani English, this article refers to Tariq Ahmad, and focuses on the use of English in Pakistan and does not make any claims to it being a separate dialect.
  - Patterns of Pakistani English, by Wajdan Raza, who is not a credible authority on the subject of languages. The research is hosted by a site run by an Economics and Technology Institute in Karachi.
  - The author Tariq Rahman is a professor at Quaid e Azam University and has written on "English literature in Pakistan", not Pakistani English. Unfortunately, his work has been used as a source to misrepresent this by creation of another article on Pakistani English literature. His work has been published by his own University, and hence is not a secondary source required to establish notability.
- None of the works by these authors qualifies for the creation of a new dialect based on your synthesis of their research. I would also like to note that you have previously edited this article and inserted unreferenced claims. This article is not different from the article on Indian English.
- — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 12:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm sure I can source what I've previously added. And I assumed there is no WP:DEADLINE to work in progress (it can be seen I've been periodically editing the article) and this was on my to do list. Anyway, that is irrelevant to the deletion of article. As far as the citations I presented are concerned, HEC has been the official body for Pakistani education and this source is credible. You might want to read WP:ABOUTSELF for a source's credibility on them selves (which is the worst case of this being taken as a self published source). This is also backed up by WP:PRIMARY. But being an official body, this happens to be the appropriate source to cite this. The second source from dawn news (a main stream media source). This debate is exactly about this topic. Infact some of the content you pointed out to be added by me can simply be sourced by this. The third and fourth sources are academic work. The work itself does not have to be notable or have an article in wikipedia to be credible. Notability is different from credibility. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:26, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep This is a ridiculous AfD, to say the least. Pakistani English is just one among a number of many English dialects spoken throughout Asia (Sri Lankan English, Burmese English, Hong Kong English, Philippine English, Singapore English etc; see this template for a complete range of English standards throughout the world. Being a former British colony, and English being an official language of Pakistan, this article is independently notable. Mar4d (talk) 13:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If it's a notable dialect, we need to keep it. But Nick's analysis of the sources is pretty damning - are there others that the Keep editors above can point to? UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a notable dialect covered in reliable sources. Here are a few more per request which precisely mention the term "Pakistani accent" or "Pakistani English dialect". [10] [11] [12]. Above citations are also credible in my opinion. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Nick's analysis of the sources does not appear to be very accurate. For example, Tariq Rahman's "Pakistani English: The linguistic description of a non-native variety of English" is clearly a description of the variety of English and is not a collection of literary studies. Here is the table of contents. The author is a well cite academic, who has held posts all over the world. The book is published by a reputable university press. The page can definitely be improved (and I have done a little work) but the subject is definitely notable. Francis Bond (talk) 14:58, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A non-native variant of English in Pakistan? How can it be that a "non-native" variant be the recognised variant of English as spoken by Pakistanis? Surely, Pakistani English, should it exist as a recognised contruct, would be spoken by natives of Pakistan, i.e. it would be a native dialect, not a non-native one? Plus the article is not available online to confirm the author's interpretation. AshLin (talk) 19:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikipedia does not require sources to be on-line. Francis Bond (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I fully agree and normally I do not comment and do accept offline sources in good faith. The problem here is the type and quantity of sources bandied around as "reliable" in this discussion does not engender any confidence in the issue. Granted that Baumgarten is an RS and discussed a wide varieties of English spoken around the world including Pakistan, is one scholar's treatment of this language adequate evidence of the existence of P. E. as a recognised form of English internationally by linguist? AshLin (talk) 01:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - You don't understand what "non-native" means in this context. Go and read doi:10.1017/S0272263100005805 and indeed Wikipedia's very own article on nativization. "Non-native" is not a synonym of "unrecognized". Uncle G (talk) 01:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The new emergence of a new dialect in itself does not make it notable. In this regard a previous discussion on the talk page is relevant. I enclose below, the opinion of a respected editor on South Asian affairs : AshLin (talk) 17:29, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can always find one or two books that use the expression "Pakistani English," however, that doesn't mean that there is consensus among scholars that such a dialect (i.e. distinctive one) of standard English exists. There isn't even much of a controversy about the issue that we can report. It is more the case that "Pakistani English" has as yet not made it into the various corpora of English that are used in linguistics and descriptive grammars. The Oxford English Corpus, for example, includes only India (among South Asian countries) (see "full picture" section) and only Indian English among different (South Asian) standard dialects of Global English. If you want to claim that Pakistani English is a "highly differentiated local dialect of Indian standard English," then you'll have to produce sources that say that. It is more likely though that "Punjabi English" or "Sindhi English" might constitute such local dialects. Producing examples of English authors who are citizens of Pakistan is not enough because they don't write in the local dialect of English. As I've said above, perhaps Pakistani English might someday become an independent dialect or subdialect, but it hasn't yet. We can't, therefore, pretend that it does. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 13:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- And above I provided reliable sources which call Pakistani English a dialect and an accent (both of which are the scope of this article). --lTopGunl (talk) 17:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Further analysis of sources:
  - See Ms Tallat's abstract (Ref 1 above) which says.... "Since Pakistani English is not any 'one stable' system, the process of 'ongoing' change is difficult to study." AshLin (talk) 17:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - That does not make it non-notable. Being difficult to define or unstable is something to be discussed in the article. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - It means that even amongst Pakistanis there is no one prominent form of English, much less one recognised as Pakistani English by linguists. AshLin (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Isn't that the issue with the whole of English language? Certainly stuff for inside the article. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:48, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - See Movie Review of "Love mein ghum" - Not only does User TG consider this a reliable source, ~~he cannot understand the difference between an accent and a recognised form of English.~~ AshLin (talk) 18:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I said the 'accent' and 'dialect' are both in scope of the article. Do not say things on my behalf. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - My mistake, if you intended to include refs about Pakistani accents, they are not necessary. Pakistani accent is uncontested. Pakistani English is disputed. But do you feel a movie review is a RS about a distinct Pakistani accent? AshLin (talk) 18:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Fair enough. The idea was to prove notability - the publisher was reliable and it was not being discussed within the fiction. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:48, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - See Mind your pronunciation - A self-improvement oriented article about the need for correct pronunciation, the author says with reference to a common speech pattern..."a mistake found almost naturally among people here and is part of Indian-Pakistani English dialect." The word "dialect" is used nowhere else in the text. The article does not refer to an internationally recognised Pakistani dialect/variant of English . AshLin (talk) 18:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - The discussion is about the same. The term is once used to refer to it, but the notability is proven in my view as the dialect is being discussed. Another reference given above is purely on this subject. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - See BBC Article on British PM Cameron. The article is nothing about Pakistani English being a recognised form of English. It could as easily have been an Indian accent, the journalist chose to mention. AshLin (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - You might have missed to notice that the author mentioned the "Indian" English separately. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - The crux of the matter is that this cannot constitute as "significant coverage" which is required to establish notability (see WP:GNG). Even now, we are discussing "Pakistani English" (a dialect) and not the accent, conflating both to prove notability is a bad idea. As AshLin pointed out earlier, there will be times when we will find passing references to the term "Pakistan English", but that does not establish notability as such. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 18:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        True, it mentions the Peter Sellers depiction too. Anyway, the point is it does not say that Pakistani English is a recognised variant. You need to make a different argument. AshLin (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - See Dawn article on Pakistani English - The article reports on various aspects of a symposium. One session Dr Tariq Rahman on misleading words in English - when spoken by a Pakistani and liable to be misunderstood by a British English speaker - refers to English spoken in Pakistan. The examples spoken are common to India too. It does not support by wording or insinuation that Pakistani English exists as a recognised variant. AshLin (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, AshLin. I find it intriguing that one of the participating editors here decided to create an article on Pakistani English literature, instead of "English literature in Pakistan", as it should have been. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 17:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sure English is spoken differently in Pakistan in context and accent than in other places. It also appears to be an evolving one. But the refs do not prove that it is an internationally recognised variant, which affects notability. Insisting that it is so, without suitable and relevant referencing, would be OR. Please add reliable sources. AshLin (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - One good aspect of this Afd are that slowly better sources are emerging. Imho, should the decision be "keep", the article needs to be rewritten to correctly portray the state of the language using only reliable sources. All the sources of the kind which User:TG has paraded before us need to be deleted. AshLin (talk) 17:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sources need to be deleted? If you mean content related to that, don't think that applies either. Given that this is backed up by secondary sources now the primary source can easily be used to contribute to the content about self. The news articles are also relevant to the topic as explained above. Anyway, that is not the discussion for an AfD. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is the quality of sources which give the article its notability and reliability. If academic sources of the quality now coming into play were provided before, this issue of Afd would probably never have risen. It is defective sources that I am targetting. Usually, if the sources are okay, the content is generally okay, barring other considerations such as NPOV etc. That apart, I agree that it may not be the topic for discussion for this Afd, however since these absolutely irrelevant sources were also placed in the same Afd by you, I felt it was pertinent to mention this fact here.

There are enough sources to make do right now, and the emerging overwhelming consensus appears to me to be a keep.

Enrico Pallazzo[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Enrico Pallazzo is the name of a fictional opera singer impersonated by Lt. Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) in the film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. An earlier AfD apparently redirected this article to that film's article. Some months later, an editor with a grand total of three contributions (all related to this article) created the article again. This time it is supposedly about an actual individual, a deceased man who worked in the field of advertising. I suspect the article is a hoax—

its subject's claim of notability lies in a mention of something—"the Creative Revolution"—that is redlinked;
the article is entirely unsourced;
one of the two external links is dead and the other leads to an English-language entry on a German-language Google Books page (!) that, while evidently relating to advertising, makes no mention of Enrico Pallazzo (it does mention "the Creative Revolution" but the context is unclear);
the wording is suspicious;
a Google search for Enrico Pallazzo and Creative Revolution results only in Wikipedia-derived pages

—but am using AfD instead of anything more drastic because I'm not completely sure. If the result is to delete, may I suggest a sprinkle of salt? (If it isn't a hoax and the result is keep, the notability has got to be established once and for all.) Rivertorch (talk) 09:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax or a coincidence of names in which the Mexican individual fails GNG. This from WP's piece on The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!: "During the Queen's visit to a California Angels baseball game, Jane tells Frank that one of the team's players will conduct the assassination. While hiding from his fellow policemen, who are now under orders to arrest him, Frank first attempts to disguise himself as the opera singer Enrico Pallazzo, brutally singing the U.S. national anthem along the way, and manages to secure the position of the home plate umpire and begins calling the game while simultaneously frisking all players for weapons." Carrite (talk) 16:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Leaving a redirect to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! would be appropriate. Carrite (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This was previously the above-mentioned redirect, hoaxed up by single-purpose editor Heyits in 2008, I see from the edit history. This is definitely a hoax. Carrite (talk) 16:51, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was my impression. But resurrecting the redirect seems both unnecessary and unwise: the name is low-hanging fruit for anyone who has just watched the movie and is feeling playful, and this bogus version sat here for three years, mirrored on countless sites, its content copied onto blogs and Facebook and even translated into other languages. (See this for just one example: they saw it on Wikipedia and believed it.) That's why I suggested salting it. Rivertorch (talk) 17:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. I've always considered it harder to convert a standing redirect page into a content page than it is to create a new content page from scratch. Obviously this case has shown that it CAN be done, but unless you're suggesting Delete-and-Salt, a redirect would seem to me more of a deterrent to vandalism that a simple deletion, which can easily be recreated. Carrite (talk) 16:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The GNG calls for "significant coverage", yet Alpha Quadrant's link is to a few news articles where Joshua Beloya is mentioned once in passing. None of the articles addressed the subject in depth or gave any biographical information – they were articles about a match with a line like "Beloya scored in the 23rd minute" and then they don't mention him again. As such, I don't believe it amounts to significant coverage. Jenks24 (talk) 05:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: On the contrary, Alpha's rationale leaves out a couple of important elements. First off, the GNG doesn't merely require that the subject be mentioned in reliable sources; it requires that the subject be discussed in "significant detail." None of the sources presented in Alpha's Google list do so. Further, WP:ROUTINE explicitly debars the type of routine sports coverage, such as match recaps, that comprise these hits.

As a free encyclopedia, it may be that some people will actually find this useful. Just because some may find it 'dull', doesn't mean that some may not find it useful. It is a new industry just as car sharing was a new industry (different to car rental) and both have their own Wikipedia pages - not sure how this is different...

Unfortunately, whether the information is useful or not doesn't factor into the debate over whether it should be included in the encyclopedia. The critical factor is whether the subject is notable.

Merge: No matter the outcome of the AfD, fixes are needed. At the very least, this article and Personal Self Storage need to be combined. As to whether Self storage should be an ultimate merger target of all three articles, I am leaning to yes. At first glance, "mailstorage" sounds like a baloney term. It has no authentic English hits on google news, google news archive, and google books. I also can't ignore that this article was created by a new account, which also has created one other questionable article related to a [16] apparent small niche business venture. The concept of storing stuff by mail, however, clearly exists based on NA1000's research, and would merit some mention in the self storage article.

Anon-created, unreferenced article about an invented sport. World rankings given but only appears to be played in once place.

J Paper Sizes[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am unable to locate any independent sources that discuss this paper series. The single source referenced in the article, controlled by the inventor of this product,^{*see AJHingston's comment below for perspective on this description of the subject*} references this Wikipedia article almost as if the article was created by the inventor. PROD was contested by author. VQuakr (talk) 05:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. To describe this as a product is, I suggest, potentially misleading. It is a set of measurements for reducing standard cut paper in ISO (A series) sizes (ie the way paper is normally sold in most of the world except the USA) to the proportions of the golden ratio. That is something the artist would do themselves just as they might cut it into any other shape. There is nothing wrong with that as the subject of an article and actually nothing wrong with the person who has come up with the table contributing to it, provided that it is already notable, including the name. We would expect it to have been written about in detail, adopted by others, etc if it were notable. The fact that other artists have used the golden ratio for centuries does not help here. --AJHingston (talk) 11:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You have an excellent point that the subject of this article is not best described as a "product," and anyone !voting here should take your observations into consideration. VQuakr (talk) 02:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I also suspected the author created this page to give a sense of credibility to this subject. Seeing it linked within minutes of creation on the author's blog supports this hypothesis. I did a good faith search for independent sources, and found none. I even left the author a note on his talk page offering help to improve the article if he could provide such sources, and nothing was forthcoming. AstroCog (talk) 13:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Dillahunty[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't believe that enough sources exist to demonstrate actual notability of the subject. He's the host of a public access talk show and the president of a large atheist club in Austin, but without significant coverage in independent sources he cannot be considered notable.

Secularstudents.org is an activist site and not much of an WP:RS
A collection of youtube excerpts is not an RS
Iron chariots is a wiki and therefore not RS
Austin American Statesman is actually an RS but a single one is not enough to establish notability, especially since it's local
Atheist-experience.org is an SPS and can't contribute to notability
Another youtube vid that can't establish notability

Searching google news turns up nothing substantial.

Jclemens introduced this at AFD in 2008 but withdrew it I'm guessing because he thought that more sources would be found but it doesn't appear as though this person has become any more notable. N^oformation ^Talk 04:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The previous AFD looks like it was a snow delete before Jclemens withdrew, I'm pretty confused by it as he stated that he found sources in gnews while another editor responded that no such sources existed. I will notify him of this discussion. N^oformation ^Talk 04:44, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Multiple separate articles in the Statesman are multiple RS references, which meet the GNG. Jclemens (talk) 04:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would think there would have to be more than just a local source (even if it has more than 1 article on him). If no one outside of Austin is writing about him is he really notable? This has always been my understanding of the notability policy but I'm happy to be corrected. N^oformation ^Talk 05:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see no requirement in the WP:GNG for coverage to be national rather than local sources. Indeed, for non-biographical articles, the only coverage of a subject may be local newspaper sources. The GNG simply specifies that sources must be significant, reliable and independent of the subject. The statesman.com articles satisfy the general notability guidelines, therefore weak keep. If there is consensus to delete, I would suggest that it would be appropriate to leave the door open for a possible redirect to a new article on the Atheist Community of Austin, as both of the sources on Dillahunty, plus others about the group, could be used to create a new article. —Tom Morris (talk) 17:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I like the redirect idea. There may not be a specific requirement for national sources but I'll ask again: if no one outside of Austin is writing about him is he really notable? There are articles about me in my local newspapers but I guarantee I do not qualify to have an article. N^oformation ^Talk 20:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep he, his life and his message is very important, especially for us-citizens (and so - unfortunately - for the rest of the world). being big on youtube his show is going to be growing and growing and people will be interested in the article as well.--77.6.45.139 (talk) 12:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That his work may be important is not relevant in regards to WP having an article about him. Having a youtube show is also not generally indicative of notability and per WP:CRYSTAL we can't make decisions now about what might happen in the future. N^oformation ^Talk 20:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is the main host of weekly show, which is going on since many years (at least 7-8 years). He is quite notable for his Atheism activism and have been invited for debates. Abhishikt (talk) 05:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's the host of a public access show, something that you or me could do fairly easily. Notability has to be demonstrated, not asserted, and thus far he doesn't have substantial coverage in reliable sources. I'm honestly surprised by the keep votes, rarely do we keep an article if the only sources are from a single local newspaper. If he meets GNG then so does my family business as it had reviews from at least 10 local newspapers over the 28 years it was open, but that's definitely not the case.

Keep He most assuredly is 'interesting' and 'unusual' per standard, his public tv show is much better than the one by the other rather more famous atheist from Austin, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, and the lack of more mainstream references can at least partially be attributed to their typical avoidance of such topics, often a very labored willful ignorance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mechtheist (talk • contribs) 01:02, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You missed out my other points. They are not notable. There are separate pages for the categories of the awards, and they are all unsourced. They are not given every year, after start and there are only three reliable sources I could find, 1, 2, 3. How can these be enough to sustain the article? The first one gives a list of 5 awards won by Dabangg, and they can or are already mentioned in the List of accolades received by Dabangg article, and the second and third do not mention any specific award, but only some minor details. That is certainly not enough for this article, and definitely not enough for keeping separate award pages for each category. X.One ^SOS 16:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If your concern is for separate categorywise pages, you can propose merger of all these pages into the one that you have proposed to delete. I will agree to that merger. They started in 2010. They were given in 2010 & 2011. That means they are given every year. All the three sources you have cited are reliable (you too agree with that) and are independent. 3 are sufficient! (With tons of filmy awards alredy existing, you should not expect any book to be written on this particular award. Give it some time.)
Important point: The third reference you gave (& also what article says) states that these awards are given to personalities in movies, music, television and sports. With such a unique blend and variety, this page should definitely be a Keep Keep. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do not give "time" for notability to create itself. If the awards are not notable, they should not be here. The three sources indicate trivial coverage. X.One ^SOS 14:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh goodness! They are given only two times till now. How much coverage do you want? All the 3 references you gave are fully for this event itself. They are not like some passing mention of these awards. And you cant be sure that these are the only references. Look! I found one more independent news reference which focuses on these awards. Also found another reference that says "According to TAM, the award ceremony generated the highest TRP of 4.63 on December 31, 2011 among all GECs in the time slot of 10 pm to 12:30 am." Does the fact that majority of television audiences chose to watch this show make it notable enough? -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 14:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, chill! Those two did not show up on the news search, so I assumed that the awards were not notable. Issue settled. But still the others need to be merged with this one. X.One ^SOS 15:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that this award should fall under the axe.

Keep per improvements made during AfD. Sources appear adequate, expecially the book "Bombay, meri jaan: writings on Mumbai" that defines the song as "one of the most popular songs in Maharashtra". A withdrawal is suggested. Cavarrone (talk) 09:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm open to considering withdrawal, to save time. I see that one of the refs is a passing mention 1-sentence mention, a second is 2 sentences but quite laudatory, and I can't see the third ref that you base your !vote on, as the link fails to even show me a snippet. Can you give me more info about it? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry i didnt see your this comment somehow. This reference is about the release of the new album that includes this song, which i assume is the one you refer as "quite laudatory". This one mainly talks about the Recording company's business but has important quote of the writer about the use of swear words in it. This i assume you refer as passing mention but is important for the reason explained. And i cant help if the book reference doesnt show you a snippet. I cant even imagine what the reason could be. Can you ask someone else to look it out? This hyperlink should take you directly to the snippet view which read.... of folk theatre work whose 'Garja Maharashtra Mazha' became one of the most popular songs in Maharashtra: 'Earlier, everyone spoke Marathi in Bombay. Today you have to speak in Hindi. That is the tragedy of the Marathi language. There was a working-class..... If not, you can try searching Garja Maharashtra in Google books to find this book. NOTE: As mentioned earlier this song is also called as "Garja Maharashtra Mazha" and thats what is used in this reference. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 21:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Am I missing how I can verify (in an RS) that this song is also called "Garja Maharashtra Mazha"? Also, if we can verify it, one of us should put that important fact in the article, where it is not mentioned at the moment.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RS for checking that both are same? I doubt i will find. But the lyrics should help. They go "Jai Jai Maharashtra Maza, Garja Maharashtra Maza". So the song can be known by its 1st or 2nd line. Just like how "My Heart Will Go On" can be called as "Every night in my dreams" by some people. Now ofcourse there can be numerous different songs also having these two lines, although i know none. But i guess you should just believe in the editors who know this song and say so. You can also query other editors. Thats much better. Just you & me talking here wouldnt work. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 16:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Bernadette Hymn[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable school song of an individual school in the Philippines. While there was an WP:OTRS request filed to cover off the copyright issue in reprinting the song's lyrics, this article still lacks any information to suggest that the song is actually notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. The article's only "reference" is the school's own webpage, which is a primary source and thereby fails our reliable sourcing rules — as always, the topic is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists, if that article cannot demonstrate why the topic is notable enough to belong in an encyclopedia. It also warrants mention that the creator has repeatedly removed any attempt to flag the article for notability or quality of references, so this may need to be monitored as well. Delete.

Constantine Alexander-Goulandris[edit]

This article fails to meet notability guidelines for biographies. It contains no reliable sources or in-line citations. The sources provided are either irrelevant or make no mention of the subject. Searching Google Books came back with no reliable sources (one hit- a book that is a collection of Wikipedia articles). Google News archive search came back with three articles, none from reliable sources, and all of which cite the Wikipedia page as their source of information. Original author requested the article be taken down multiple times to allow time to “fact-check” and “confirm its complete accuracy,” however it remained with no additional reliable sources being added. Numerous other editors have asserted that this person is fictional. Robfrederick (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is passing mention of him in this Wall St. Journal blog entry and in this Luxist entry. So if it's a hoax, they were taken in. Even if he does exist, I'm not convinced that this is enough RS coverage to warrant an article, but I'll admit to not being an expert. Meelar (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The non-WP:RS Luxist says he's the billionaire buyer, the WSJ blog cites them while regurgitating this non-fact, then Luxist admits they were wrong. WSJ does not bother to correct their blog entry--it's just a blog, after all, I guess. This is the type of sourcing we're dealing with here, when there is sourcing at all. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:38, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, I'm not making a claim one way or the other about the article--that's why I made a comment instead of a !vote. But it does cast some doubt on the alleged non-existence of the article subject, and the claim that "The sources provided are either irrelevant or make no mention of the subject" that was made in the nomination. Meelar (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Luxist article claims its “source” is a “well-connected Luxist follower” and then cites this Wikipedia entry for its additional information on Goulandris.

Comment. I have flagged this article as a possible hoax (in whole or part). See discussion on Talk:Constantine_Alexander-Goulandris. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. There is absolutely no reliable source. The whole history of this article looks extremely fishy, and it's a pity we did not delete it when the author asked us to. The only mention of its subject in the references is a Wall Street Journal blog, which quotes "Luxist", whose sources are "A well-connected Luxist follower" who is immediately contradicted by "an insider." With no more than anonymous gossip to go on, the article fails WP:V, and careful research reported on the talk page has failed to find confirmation of anything it says, including the companies.

Ghits are almost all based on this article, or on the Luxist gossip, but among them I find this, according to which he is married to Susanne Livanos de Kasa-Hunyady. A year ago we had a string of Kasa-Hunyady hoax articles, and that confirms my view that this is a hoax rather than just unsourced BLP. JohnCD (talk) 20:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of course.If there is any confusion about the redirect, make a suitable disam page. Totally unnecessary nomination -- these redirect/merges are routine & only need to come here if challenged. No reason given against a redirect, which is understandable, since there is none possible. DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so clear that no argument for deletion over redirection is possible. And find it curious that you would say that, as you have out a nomination (which I agree with) of a mall for deletion -- not redirection -- at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plaza Kota Tinggi.

It is not clear to me what the benefit of a redirect would be. There are hundreds of thousands of schools. If we were to redirect all of them to pages such as the indicated one, would that be a good thing? I'm not sure, at this point. In this case -- though admittedly things could change -- all readers would see would be ... the name of the school. As well as the names of other schools, but that is not what they are searching for. What is the benefit of leading the reader, rather than to a dead end, to ... the name of the search term he entered? As best I can tell, not much.

I'm guessing that is why we do not redirect non-notable malls, corporations, partnerships, organizations, and people as a general rule. If the opposite were in fact the general rule, we would likely term this exercise "Articles for Redirection". Still, I have an open mind on the subject, because while I see the benefit of a redirect as quite small, it may be that the cost is quite small as well.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for piping up on that point. As you know, I'm at this point in time generally open to redirects (disambig being simply one form of redirect).

I generally oppose school redirects when the name of the school is not unique. (I would be OK with a redirect if the article name was unique, such as Plaza Middle School (Virginia Beach).) And I oppose disambiguation when the subjects being disambiguated are not notable enough for their own article. Wikipedia policy backs me up on that: "Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia articles."

Wargasm (word)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The user has fails WP:N with respect the concept of "wargasm" because the concept is extremely obscure and is already covered by war. The word itself is an extremely obscure (and not even slightly witty) portmanteau neologism, which has a grand total of 4 recorded uses, apparently used by the users in different ways, and certainly not jargon. There is apparently (and I leave room to stand corrected by someone more knowledgeable) no evidence of the discussion of the actual word itself which would merit an encyclopedic article. A Google search for "wargasm" shows up more discussion of a video game, and the opening track of some random album Bricks Are Heavy. Barney the barney barney (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not write the article on "wargasm" to add it is a dictionary term. However, its closeness to the word "orgasm" (which has an extensive Wikipedia entry), together with its usage in public debates in the 1960s and 1970s by public figures of great importance, i.e. Norman Mailer and Dean Rusk, merit its inclusion in Wikipedia. Also, the prospect of an abrupt and potentially devastating nuclear war, is just as threatening as it was in the 20th century, although the Cold War has ended. I believe that "wargasm" is pertinent in linking current political and literary debate to what was said when the word was first introduced by Rusk. Wargasm=the abrupt outbreak of warfare is something which readers should have the privilege of appreciating. Has Wikipedia become so shallow as to only include "Wargasm" as a video game article? Does a pertinent article get deleted merely because it does not technically satisfy the requirements of a rule?Robert (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is a Google search the extent of your research? If so, then it's no wonder you are looking for things to delete on Wikipedia instead of being creative enough to add to its content. Would you at least be kind enough to identify who you are, with some description of yourself, rather than raiding people's efforts in anonymity. Your username is certainly not one conducive to intelligent thinking. What assumption did you employ to state that the word wargasm has been used a grand total of four times?Robert (talk) 20:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genuine question. Is it an article about a word or concept? If it is the former, how is the word notable? Note that the comparison with orgasm is not valid because orgasms is a genuine physiological reaction that has been subject to large studies in sexology. We have articles about individual words, but none that is quite as bizarre as this. If it is the latter how does it differ from the article about nuclear war? Furthermore, noting especially that a "wargasm" has never occurred, how can any article concerning it be free of WP:OR? Barney the barney barney (talk) 21:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The comparison to orgasm is a valid one, especially among wordsmiths like Mailer and Goodman. The likeness comparison merely means volatile, explosive, and combustible, which is characteristic of both terms. There are many terms which bring to mind sexual terminology but have no real relationship to them. Once a UNC teacher said that she was careful to pronounce organism distinctly because it was once misinterpreted by a student. The references which I retrieved the word from are each valid, solid refs., i.e. not spurious. The word was has been employed by very noteworthy individuals in both the literary and political fields.Robert (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Wargasm" is not, repeat not, a physiological reaction and it has not been well studied academically. How can you compare the two? Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:18, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Google searches with additional terms, e.g. (wargasm "dean rusk"), (wargasm "norman mailer"), failed to turn up any evidence that any single meaning or closely related cluster of meanings or concepts attached to the word. While it occurs in any number of sources, there's no consistency of meaning. It's apparently been used for a massive launch-on-warning nuclear attack, for a 1969 event staged by the Weathermen, for group sex practiced by the W'men, for high-intensity tours of Civil War battlefields, for water-balloon fights between fraternities, and for any number of other things. I find no evidence that the specific meaning given in the WP article ever achieved significant penetration in popular or academic culture; as an obvious and mildly racy portmanteau, the word's been used in many different and only peripherally related ways, with no majority or strong plurality endorsing any of the meanings. Ammodramus (talk) 04:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The suggestion that it should be relegated to a dictionary is not sufficient. The term is getting numerous hits and should remain as a topic which readers may have access to. This debate was introduced by an individual who chooses to remain completely anonymous, giving no identification of who he is aside from a ridiculous sounding moniker unfit for a "Loony Tunes" segment, much less as the user name of a Wikipedia editorRobert (talk) 21:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per: "The pertinence of Wargasm (word) is evident in its usage by noteworthy persons in the 1960s and 1970s. It is not a word which will appear in standard dictionaries and should be kept for its importance regarding debate on politics, literature, academics, and general interest." Actually, that pretty much is the case for deletion — the fact that is is a non-standard, cutesy, lingo word would imply that it is probably NOT encyclopedic. In my opinion this belongs at Urban Dictionary, for sure, and Wiktionary, maybe — but not Wikipedia. Please note that I'm completely down the middle on this topic, being against war and in favor of orgasms. Carrite (talk) 05:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The word seems to have been coined independently several times, each time with a different meaning. None of the meanings has had any long life or notability. Dingo1729 (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: None of the meanings are notable. SL93 (talk) 17:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Per: I differ with you that none of the meanings are noteworthy. Usage by Mailer and Rusk, the important issues which were being debated when the term was applied, along with additional uses in dictionaries and the New Yorker magazine, make the meaning and its usages significant, albeit not oft used.Robert (talk) 22:19, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The word "wargasm" is used exactly once in the ten pages of Daniel Lang's 1971 New Yorker piece, cited in the article under discussion here. It is used in a parenthetical aside; unfortunately, I didn't copy the page, but as I recall it occurred in a passage like "A full-scale nuclear exchange (in the jargon, "wargasm") would lead to..." Note that WP:GNG states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention..."; but a trivial mention is exactly what occurs in the Lang piece.

I apologize for not being able to quote the passage exactly; if Robertg9 has a copy of the article at hand and can reproduce the sentence, it might help other editors decide how important or trivial Lang's use of the word was. Ammodramus (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have a copy of the article unfortunately. I write virtually all of my Wikipedia articles on what's past, lot of it the distant past, i.e. film stars, buildings, people, and events. I believe that as with the content I have contributed earlier, "wargasm" is important because of its use by men who contributed much to public debate in the 20th century. Certainly it was not used often, yet it is memorable that it was employed by Mailer and Rusk during a crucial era in the history of the United States. Insightful people will be able to reflect on this. For example the term "groovy" is used seldom if any these days. However, to understand more about the Charles Manson and Jeffrey MacDonald murders, it is helpful to have a resource which explains terminology like this, along with the context of its usage. The term groovy was discovered on the walls of both crime scenes. One can sit back and say that we should have an alternate source, a dictionary, etc., for this kind of thing. Yet even if published, it will not have anywhere near the circulation that Wikipedia does. So what you have are high school and college students who see these expressions and need to go to an older person, their parents, instead of being able to find its meaning right in front of them. Wikipedia should make allowances, broaden its range of inclusion.Robert (talk) 16:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Properception[edit]

While working with Wikipedia with a psychology lab on campus, it was pointed out to me that "properception" isn't actually a psychology/psychiatry term. The closest term is proprioception, which has its own article. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 00:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'speedy redirect as a possible mis-spelling. DGG ( talk ) 05:49, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to proprioception as a possible mis-spelling. JIP | Talk 07:18, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, the article states "properception is related to proprioception" so the author was clearly aware that the terms were distinct.--Pontificalibus (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence of this. The first version of the article doesn't make any such mention. It wasn't until over a year and half later that the distinction to proprioception was added to the article, by a different user. JIP | Talk 20:10, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Possible mis-spelling of proprioception, but also because half of the article is about proprioception, which does in fact seem similar to "properception". Rm1271 ^talk_contribs 00:09, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, the article appears to be about interoception.--Pontificalibus (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No such word, a redirect would therefore be confusing and unhelpful. --Pontificalibus (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
