[edit] Pav

Unverifiable neologism and/or personal attack. Only hits for pav "role playing" are coincidental uses of the words, not as defined in the article. It would just be a dic def even if it did have any basis in reality. Niteowlneils 00:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note. New article is completely different than either of the two versions previously VfD'd via the discussions below. Niteowlneils 00:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No evidence of notability. --fvw * 02:12, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

Delete, plenty of art movements spawn a neo-xxx version some 50 yrs after they were popular. But as far as I can tell it hasn't yet happened for pointillism in any serious way. Pxlart use of the term seems to be a Neo-logism or an art movement of one. But also delete the article behind the redirect at Neo-pointillism -- Solipsist 12:57, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Ever seen pictures or graphics that were pixelated? Thats electronic Neopointillism. Very influential artistic movement on the internet. Klonimus 03:55, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable, possible neologism. Do not redirect. There's no evidence that this term is ever used, so redirect would falsely give WP's stamp of approval on a vanity neologism. "neopointillism" gives twelve google hits, and several of them are WP. Quale 22:08, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Delete unless proved not a hoax. Google has nothing on "Anthony V. DePano", "Anthony DePano" "Anthony De Pano", "Alatron International"... this would tell a story of a guy that has achieved nothing except a short lived job at daddy's company, except I also can't find a mention of an AOL CFO with this surname - currently it's Steve Swad, previously it was Joseph (Joe) Ripp (2001-2004), Philip Gross was at one point, Mike Kelly (98-01), Lennert Leader (1989-98) - I can't find any DePano.

[edit] Anthony depano

Not notable, probable vanity. --fvw * 03:48, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

This article is a duplicate of one posted a couple mins ago. It should definitely be deleted. I do, however, think that the guy is notable enough for inclusion.

I've speedy redirected it to Anthony V. DePano, since it was just an exact duplicate of that article. If that article is deleted in the VfD above, then this redirect should go, too. (Note that performing this redirect is technically outside the VfD rules, and any editor may revert my change at their discretion). --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 15:12, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

STRONG KEEP, perhaps rename to "Adelphi Mill (Bollington)" as there is one in Maryland as well. It obviously has some years of history behind it, why not leave it there for someone who knows some of that history to expand it? Most historians (especially local historians) don't even know that Wikipedia exists. Keeping articles like this encourages them by giving them starting points for their contributions. We should be focused on involving people. Deleting articles like this will make local historians feel unwelcome, as if their contributions aren't worthy. --Unfocused 16:44, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Highly POV, non-notable murder case. Rick K 04:26, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Advertising. Rick K 04:37, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, agreed. Fredrik | talk 12:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It's an article about a commercial software package, but that isn't advertising or we wouldn't be able to write an article about Microsoft Windows. This is a major package in the business (see the UCLA Stata portal). It has regular user group meetings in United States, UK, Germany, Spain, and Netherlands, and has had at least one user group meeting in Ireland, Australia and Italy. Not some little VBasic program written by a hopeful teen, but a product that many people will want to have information about. That's where we come in. We're Wikipedia, we write about stuff. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:40, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable, little chance of it becoming notable. Ditto for the gentleman in question. Article reads like fancruft. Mackensen (talk) 04:52, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable, cruft. Megan1967 05:25, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep, He is one of the final 10 on the first season of American Idol. However, this page needs much more information. Lack of information does not equal to cruft. --Arbiteroftruth 17:09, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete being on TV does not equal notablility. Besides, finishing 8th hardly screams notability. --InShaneee 19:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Not necessarily cruft, but the article fails to give any decent information and is poorly written. Hermione1980 00:17, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Changing my vote to weak keep, pending expansion. I see the point of some of the other Wikipedians here, to an extent: He did make it to the top 10, he did manage to hang on for two shows, and the article doesn't look half bad for a stub or substub, after cleanup. However, if a few more months or a year pass without any real expansion being done—or if Mr. Gil continues to do nothing notable—I would then vote delete, if this came up on VfD again. Hermione1980 21:50, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

weak keep, pending expansion. Although American Idol contestants are of spurious notability, "notability" itself is of spurious merit as a criterion for deletion.

[edit] Thinking-East.Net

Vanity, promotional, non-encyclopedic and non-notable. Mackensen (talk) 04:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I was just coming to list this on VfD. 26 unique Google hits, most of which are discussion forums. Vanity. Rick K 04:59, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Comment, I'm the fellow who wrote the entries for Thinking-East.Net and Registan.Net. I did so because I feel that they represent a corner of the blogosphere (so to speak) that shall become more and more important as Central Asia--the region they cover--becomes more important. In retrospect, I agree with you: the original entry was too promotional. Too much enthusiasm. I have since gone back into the entry and excised most of the URLs and biased material. Also, while Thinking-East does have a good reputation, some of its readers have raised concerns about its connections to the group KelKel. So I tried to mention that in the revised entry. Read it and see what you think. NYspaceman 05:52, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
While I appreciate your efforts, I'm afraid a website that gets 26 googles just isn't notable. Delete as such. R adiant _* 14:31, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:19, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment, Interesting web-site but I'm not sure it merits an entry. Sorry. Leithp 15:23, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment, Me again, the entry-writer. Thanks anyway, Leithp. Alright, my case for including Thinking-East is based very much upon its connection to the Tulip Revolution. Several of its writers were senior members of KelKel, the youth movement involved in the overthrow of the Kyrgyz government (and KelKel, by the way, has an entry on Wikipedia.) If a tiny website on the outskirts of the blogosphere has a connection like that, surely it may ultimately prove to be of some historical interest--if not historical importance? (Also: it is starting to get mentioned in Uzbek blogs.) Regarding the Google hits: a) is 26 too low or two high? and b) I removed almost all external links from the entry. NYspaceman 01:50, 2 May 2005
Keep After reading the entry and web-site again, I think it does merit an entry. I don't think the "google test" is a particularly fair way of assessing this. Central Asian politics, as opposed to say Manga or MMORPG games or other "geek-friendly" topics, has a pretty scant showing on Wikipedia. This web-site seems to be a rare outlet for the voice of young people in Central Asia so is of significance, if only regionally. Have a look at it before you vote please, there are a lot more deserving candidates for deletion than this. Leithp 20:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Not notable, and now the author is link-spamming all sorts of articles. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Nor worthy of an encyclopedia entry. --Mecanismo 20:47, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Comment, Me again, the entry-writer. I communicated with one of the editors of the website. He said that they have a first-hand account of the Halabja poison gas attack in 1988, an interview with the nephew of John Garang, the leader of the south Sudan rebels (the editor said he went to school with this kid), and an interview with Yair Auron, who's the world expert on the Armenian genocide. All these articles they will publish in May and June. For a blog "not worthy of an entry" on Wikipedia, this is certainly impressive. (By the way, thanks for the support, Leithp.)

[edit] Indiana chess institute

Article fails to establish notability. Rick K 05:05, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

You're right RickK, but I cannot bring myself to vote delete on a chess related article. So abstain. Sjakkalle 06:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable murder case. Rick K 05:15, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Alright, Nunh-huh. I'll vote keep then with some reservations. Sjakkalle 06:48, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redistricting warrant (now moved to Texas Ten)

~~Delete~~ source material. There is no such thing in law as a "redistricting warrant." Gazpacho 05:16, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Consists of nothing but the original source material, and the title is inaccurate. Firebug 06:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Historic event--I even heard of this in London. Moved to Texas Ten. Marked for cleanup. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:51, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Of course the underlying incident is well-known and encyclopedic, but at the time this was nominated for VFD, the article contained nothing but a scan of the arrest warrant (which was misleadingly titled Redistricting warrant). Firebug 00:39, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep as the artcle now deals with the underlying incident. I would like to see it moved to 2003 Texas redistricting controversy or some such title rather than the ambiguous Texas Ten. The Redistricting warrant redirect could probably be safely deleted. Dsmdgold 01:53, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Feel free to move it where you like. I have no special preferences and your title would be more descriptive if seen in a category listing. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:28, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable, already mentioned in the relevant shows' articles. Gazpacho 05:53, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Good stub for a term in common use to describe this event, which is still remembered after about forty years. If it's mentioned in the shows' articles, all the more reason to have an article linking all the shows describing the event in more detail. Good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dystopos 00:13, 3 May 2005 (UTC) Change to Delete (Unless someone hits a goldmine of notable information). There are no 17,000 hits for this person, whose name is actually Stacey Lynn Boetto. All references lead back to this calendar series, which lasted from 1999-2001. It's possible, if it really was such a hot seller, that the calendar is notable. Stacey, apparently, is not. Dystopos 20:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Those who think she is notable can expand the stub. Since her notability is based entirely on her exposure, maybe a good PD photo would be enough to schwing my vote. Dystopos 20:22, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of people described as Stalinists

Sloppy, unsourced list. POV magnet. Duplicates Category:Stalinists, which was deleted by a WP:CFD vote. Firebug 06:15, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As anyone can clearly see, Category:Stalinists, does not exist, so how exactly can there be any duplication? TDC 20:30, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

The category doesn't exist because it was deleted via a WP:CFD vote. That was my point - that the article should be deleted for the same reasons. Firebug 17:15, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete unverifiable. George Bernard Shaw was a Stalinist? —Wahoofive (talk) 16:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep. If sourcing is the only issue, it could be easily added. I should also note that we have a List of Fascists (not sourced on the page and including a category of “Possible Successors”) and List of people described as neoconservatives (a list that handily survived its VFD) and absolutely no one self identifies as a necon, but many of the individuals in the list did indeed describe themselves as Stalinists at one point in their lives. TDC 19:19, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
- List of Fascists specifically states: "This is a list of persons who self-identify as Fascists or a variant". List of people described as Stalinists is different because it includes people who never called themselves Stalinists, but to whom the term was applied as a slur. I don't feel that this is appropriate for Wikipedia. Firebug 19:49, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Many of the people on the list, like Pablo Neruda, Michael Redgrave, and Kim Jong Il are/were self described Stalinists. Just because there are no polemics in The Nation, the UTNE Reader, or Adbusters decrying this (like the neocons) does not make it any less verifiable. TDC 20:11, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
  - And List of people described as neoconservatives? Sam Spade 19:52, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    - If that list were nominated, I would vote to delete it too, unless sourcing was provided for the entries. I also think that the "Possible successors" section should be removed from List of Fascists, and that the entries on that list should be sourced to indicate where the individuals described themselves as Fascists. I would not have an objection to a List of Stalinists if it only included people who actually self-identified as such and sourcing was provided for this. Firebug 19:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      - I have included a comment on Talk:List of Fascists indicating that the Possible Successors section should be removed for the reasons stated above. If no one wants to defend that section's inclusion, then I will remove the section as unsourced POV.
Keep, not an issue for VfD, take it up on Talk:List of people described as Stalinists (unused, btw). Sam Spade 19:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If kept, it should include after each listing a link to exactly who called the person a Stalinist. -Willmcw 00:06, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, unreferenced, POV, unverifiable. Slac speak up! 00:26, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete. I don't believe Stalin ever considered himself a leader of a distinct intellectual or political movement, so the list ends up being people who, at some time in their lives, spoke of Stalin in a somewhat approving way. Approval is not allegiance. Gazpacho 00:42, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Neutral. This has, I think, the makings of two or more good pages, but mixed together like this it ends up being a polemic. There are avowed Stalinists: H. Bruce Franklin, under whom I studied, Kim Jong-Il, and (missing from the list) Bob Avakian. There are politically-oriented entertainers who happen to have supported the Soviet Union in one respect or another during the Stalin era, many of them identified with Popular Front politics that were not narrowly Stalinist: Paul Robeson, Charles Chaplin, and (missing from the list) Pete Seeger. There are some very odd inclusions: Frida Kahlo was a close associate, and almost certainly a lover, of Leon Trotsky. Yes, she followed Trotsky's doctrine of giving qualified support to the "deformed Workers' State" that was the Soviet Union, but are we saying that Trotsky was a Stalinist? There are some whose inclusion in the list borders on slander: Henry Wallace accepted the political support of the Communist Party USA, but he never endorsed them in return. Et cetera. As a hodgepodge of these things, the list is useless and borders on slanderous, given the degree to which Stalinism these days is an epithet. This would be like a list of Fascists that included George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover and Henry Ford. In short, I don't think an encyclopedic list can be constructed under this particular title, but this could be the seed for several useful pages. I'd suggest moving this to List of Stalinists, editing out those who are not self-described as such, and starting several separate lists: List of Popular Front cultural figures, for example. In each case, though, given the controversy attending this, I'd like to see clear criteria for inclusion. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:44, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. POV, original research. Jayjg ^(talk) 04:25, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Rename and edit for accuracy. "People described as" is passive voice and too subjective. Who's doing the describing??? The list is prone to major inaccuracies, for example, it currently inclues Frida Kahlo, who dated Stalin's arch nemisis Trotsky. Maybe a list of people who are actually documented to have expressed a strong fondness for Stalin and his beliefs? --Blackcats 06:27, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
A pretty obvious keep. If some listings are original research, they should be removed, leaving the persons verifiably described as being Stalinist (shouldn't be too hard to do). Further, I'm not sure how 'being a POV magnet' means the page can be deleted under the terms of the Deletion policy, or are we all ignoring that now? Perhaps it's time we actually started enforcing that agreed, accepted policy to prevent spurious page listings such as this one. Dan100 20:51, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. These "list of" articles are only marginally helpful to readers. Ones which are likely to attract vandalism and controversy are not worth the trouble. This one has all the markings of a vandal-magnet. Rossami (talk) 01:30, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No agreed definition of Stalinist means no way to verify and guarranteed constant disputes. No sources given. Not a helpful list for researchers. It would be better to create Category:Stalinists if desired. Quale 03:44, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete axe-grinding. — Helpful Dave 13:01, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep, but use less iffy language, especially in definitive cases like Neruda. J. Parker Stone 05:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A response to the most commonly cited issues with the article

1. No agreed definition of a Stalinist, absurd, we have an article Stalinist, that is pretty clear about the definition of what a Stalinist is.
2. original research, once again, absolutely not. Although the potential for OR is certainly here, it is here in all articles. Many people throughout the 20th century have either called themselves, or have been called by others with cause, Stalinists.
3. POV magnet, does that mean we deleted every article involving the Israeli Palestinian conflicts?
4. All issues as far as sourcing can be dealt with in the article or on its talk page.

I would also like to stress my original point that every single reason for a delete could be applied to any number of articles in Wikipedia, and most appropriately List of people described as neoconservatives, but that article was kept during a recent VFD. TDC 19:35, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

All that considered, I would say that if someone's Stalinist position can't be demonstrated plainly enough for List of Stalinists then they shouldn't be on such a list at all. List of people described as neoconservatives exists because, regardless of NC's status as a political movement, labelling people as NCs is a widespread journalism phenomenon. I don't believe the same could have been said for the "Stalinist" label. Gazpacho 22:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re. 1. Stalinist is a redirect to Stalinism. Stalinism is somewhat well defined, but Stalinist isn't. This is something of a paradox, but it is reality since Stalinist is a loaded, generally POV term almost always intended as a powerful slur in the U.S. This has been true in the U.S. for about 80 years, so it isn't a recent development.

Non-notable secondary school. This page is simply a list if statistics and also appears to be a copyvio.Ganymead 06:32, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Merge salient facts with geographic article. It's just an average secondary school in Burton-on-Trent. Only of any relevence whatsoever to those who live in Burton-on-Trent. There should probably be a short list of the schools in Burton-on-Trent in that article, but they don't need huge articles as they are just normal, everyday schools (don't get confused by the visual arts thing, that sort of title is now pretty much normal in the UK, and still only significant in the local area).

Keep; secondary schools are notable, and this one has a history dating back to 1531.--BaronLarf 02:28, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep.
1. ALL schools are notable in their respective communities.
2. They're also a perfect way to interest and involve the next generation of Wikipedians.
3. Shouldn't we have article stubs for schools if only to hold a place to put famous alumni from that school?
4. Keeping some schools and deleting others sends a message of elitism to the students that degrades the value of the deleted schools.

I cannot comprehend the logic of anyone wanting to delete ANY school! --Unfocused 17:03, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Five edits, four to VFD.

Edit & Keep - If we forget the troll aspect, this entry is more about an infamous feud between a corporate giant (LonelyPlanet) and a small time author, something that has gone of for the best part of five years. Whether the trolling aspect is necessary is questionable however, it tells another side that is often forgotten and is often asked about among the thousands who are familar with the saga that has encompassed the battle to establish whether plagiarism/theft of research has taken place. In short, it's a poor entry that should focus less on trolling more on the facts of a real interesting story.

      - Articles from victoriacross.net have been migrated to Wikipedia. That's why at the bottom of every one it says "This page has been migrated from the Victoria Cross Reference (http://www.victoriacross.net) with permission." and that's why when you go to victoriacross.net it says "The Victoria Cross Reference is migrating its content to Wikipedia - you can help" at the top. I don't know whether the victoriacross.net owner planned to migrate non-VC recipient articles as well, like book reviews. Geoff/Gsl 22:26, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The recipients of the Victoria Cross can be very notable without this particular book making the cut at all.

Delete the article about the book and unlink it in all the recipient articles. Rossami (talk) 01:50, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Rewrite, Keep. I noticed that the reason the book is linked in each of the 40+ articles which reference it is that it is listed as a source for each of them. Conceivably, someone interested in WWI VC recipients might like to know about the book which purports to discuss all of them. Besides, Wikipedia is not paper, and a book can be notable and at the same time have a very specialized audience. -- 8^D ^gab 03:38, 2005 May 1 (UTC)

[edit] John hornby

I'm not certain whether this is nonsense or just a very poorly written article about a non-notable adventurer. The title is also incorrect (should be John Hornby). Thryduulf 16:12, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This seems to be a real explorer - when I Googled John Hornby I discovered that there was an explorer by this name who visited the Thelon (not Thenton) River in Canada and got 213 hits for "John + Hornby + Thelon". He also has a "Hornby Point" named after him. Not sure if he's particularly notable, though. For the moment Keep and move to John Hornby and I'll see if I can find out anything useful about him. SteveW | Talk 16:42, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, 213 hits isn't notability, and none of the stuff mentioned above seems to have any mention on this site. I tried Thelon River, Thenton River, and Hornby Point on this site, and no articles exist. They probably aren't very significant geologic/geographic features. --Idont Havaname 00:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Although we're all very fond of Wikipedia, it's nowhere near complete yet. The Thelon River crosses the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada. The lower 545 km are designated a Canadian Heritage River by their federal government, and it's between one and two km wide along that section. (The whole thing is about 900 km.) Here's more information, and there's a map on this page. Not having an article on the Thelon River doesn't mean that Hornby isn't notable; it means that Wikipedia needs an article on the Thelon River. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 15:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'll change to keep, then. --Idont Havaname 03:41, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment. As Google test points out, numbers aren't everything. Ok, I'm paraphrasing, but if you search "John + Hornby + explorer", you will quickly find two articles or excerpts from the Journal of the Arctic Insitute of North America, apparently based out of the University of Calgary. [4], [5]. They at least suggest the possibility of a reasonable expansion, although some of our Canadian Wikipedians may have to go find actual paper references. Soundguy99 04:01, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep and expand. Notable enough. "He made prodigious journeys and left his name scattered over the Barrens, but the man himself is far more interesting than his deeds." - Quote from L. M. Forbes, review of: George Whalley, The legend of John Hornby (London: John Murray, 1962, 367 pp.), in: The Geographical Journal, published by the Royal Geographical Society, Vol. 129, No. 3 (Sep., 1963), pp. 359-360. From JSTOR. -- Tupsharru 08:32, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment. John Hornby is probably notable—he was a Canadian naturalist who died in an interesting way and about whom at least one book has been written (see previous comment). Since he died in 1925, it's not particularly surprising that his Google score is a bit low. On the other hand, this article needs to be fleshed out to at least a decent stub if it is to be kept. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 15:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete this page and the link on Kathryn (name). — RJH 18:41, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I would vote for a delete, but there's no point. Smoddy, thanks for your civility and open mind, but I happen to know that this article is nothing but Urban Dictionary-esque banter. The guy who made it often shows me these pages (he is not the same as the "Ultimate Ninja" vandal) he makes about our classmates. I usually give them a dismissive sigh and a roll of my eyes, assuming Wikipedians will soon root them out, which has always happened until now. You are a more patient person than I, but your recommended solution is right on the mark. I will carry through with that now... but don't be surprised if in the future, this person merits a real article. Kathryn's a lovely girl who will go far in life, but for now she's nothing to write a Wikipedia article about. Much love, BDD 02:32, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

well, if you know the guy creating these articles, maybe you could ask him to kindly knock it off. Sure, wikipedians will eventually find and delete it, but we all have much better things to do. Secondly, I'd like to point out that the "VfD" notice specifically says "do not blank this article" so I've just reverted it back to the original. I'm sure you were just trying to help, but the VfD stuff is one of the few "serious" policies around here. The article is seems to qualify for speedy, so I've also just tagged & listed it as such. Soundguy99 03:25, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I... er... I really suck at a lot of Wikipedia's technical aspects. I thought I could delete the article. Sorry about that. Just consider mine a firm delete. And don't worry, Soundguy, I have told this guy to stop before, but he happens to basically be my best friend; you'll have to forgive me if I allow other Wikipedians to axe his work regularly. --BDD 03:36, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Well, hell, then you can just sneak into his room when he's asleep and whisper subliminal messages into his ear. . . . "stopwritingdumbWikipediaarticlesstopwritingdumbWikipediaarticlesstopwritingdumbWikipediaarticles." ;-) Sorry if I sounded cranky. As far as the "technical aspects", hey, no worries. Like I said, I figured you meant well. In fact I might be wrong about this meeting the speedy deletion criteria. I guess we'll find out. Soundguy99 06:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Uterine succession

Hooey or original research or something; the phrase "uterine succession" comes up blank. --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 18:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Move to matrilineal succession, and delete all references to nonsense neologism of "uterine succession". There is, after all, no such thing as "testicular succession", but we certainly have patrilineal succession. -- 8^D ^gab 19:48, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)
- Upon review of the options, delete - I'm redirecting both matrilineal succession and patrilineal succession to primogeniture. -- 8^D ^gab 19:52, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)
Keep. Perfectly good article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:16, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Matrilineal succession. Its not usually called uterine succession - every baby comes from a uterus so it's a meaningless title. Megan1967 02:03, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete; no redirect: no Googles at all. I'll change my vote if someone can show any use of this apparent neologism in a serious publication. The term (and entirely speculative remarks about it) shouldn't be included in primogeniture unless some sources can be cited. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 15:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I wrote the article. The name "uterine succession" came as derivation from terminology in sociology, where "uterine kinship" etc refer to kinship in unbroken female line. There, "uterine" and "agnatic" are parallel terms. Upon reflection, I concede that probably "matrilineal succession" would be a better-known title for this information. The information itself is true and I stand behind it, therefore I vote for its KEEPING. As comment to a suggestion above to redirect this to some "primogeniture", that will not be correct, since primogeniture is only one form of succession, and there are a plentitude of other forms, such as seniority, tanistry, election, appointment, rotation... Thus, such redirect will give readers a misleading picture. Regarding such comments, it is desirable that persons who do not know nor have thought through the subject in question, refrain from deleting contributions of others who know the subject better. 62.78.106.215 17:31, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Per the anon's comments, perhaps it would make sense to change the redirects at matrilineal succession and patrilineal succession to point to our article order of succession? It's a broader article than primogeniture, and covers more flavours of succession. My vote to delete uterine succession still stands, as the term remains a neologism. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 17:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- order of succession is rather long article already, and I think it is yet growing, as certain forms of succession are not equally presented there yet. Thus, I foresee a point where people would like to have a series of sub-articles, and "order of succession" being their synopsis and sort of 'list of contents'. "Matrilineal succession" could well be one of such sub-articles, as already is another thing, "primogeniture". signat:The same "Anon".
  - I think matrilineal succession can easily be worthy of a separate article; but certainly, let's not confuse the issue with primogeniture. One can perfectly well have matrilineal ultimogeniture. - Mustafaa 21:42, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
A quote: "The uterine ancestry of an individual is a person's pure female ancestry, i.e. a matriline leading from a female ancestor to that individual."
I also can find no use of this particular phrase. Without verifiable evidence, delete as original research or maybe neologism. Rossami (talk) 01:54, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aggregate pattern

This page does not seem to be describing a design pattern but more an element of object encapsulation. It seems to be defining an aggregate pattern as a design method that allows data members to be operated on by routines built into their containing object. This is a fairly trivial property of OO design.

Asides from this semantic issue, the article itself is littered with terrible English, with many spelling and grammer mistakes that render it virtually unintelligible. The code examples are entirely unelucidiating, and much of the information is described seemingly from the perspective of a Perl programmer, rather than being a language agnostic description of the methodology.

Comment. Stephanie Trong has been deputy editor of the magazine since, I think, November 2002. This should of course be in the article on Jane Magazine, but the article there at present is only a stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:34, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
We don't even have a separate article on the number two person at General Electric. Deputy Editors don't make the cut for an independent article. Redirect. Rossami (talk) 01:59, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- We probably should have an article about the number two at General Electric. One reason I'd want a separate article about a journalist like Trong is that she's done lots of work that doesn't conveniently fall under her time with Jane. I could post ext links to stuff like her interview with Bowie (for Jane) but she's done literally hundreds of interviews, many with famous people, and not all for Jane. I couldn't just shoehorn it into the Jane article, really, it would probably be best to have it under Trong, because when people read one of her interviews, they're reading Trong, not "Jane", whoever that is. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable. Being an deputy editor of a rather non-notable magazine does not make one notable. Long established notable magazines like Time have had dozens of assistant editors and those assistants are still non-notable. Quale 08:09, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is not even an article on 'Jane' Magazine. The article on the founder is a single line. Looks like vanity to me. Corto 13:35, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

The fact that we don't have an article about Jane magazine suggests only that we should have such an article. Obviously this isn't vanity because the person in question is deputy editor of a big-selling national magazine. Amazon ranks it 18th in style and fashion magazines, below Marie Claire but above ELLE. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:53, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel Denmeade

Doctor. 10 Google hits. Non-notable. --InShaneee 19:11, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Despite being an academic, it is not evident from the article he has made enough of an impact in his field to be notable. Deus Ex 21:43, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Google Scholar lists 117 citations for a paper by an SR Denmeade at John Hopkins (so likely to be the same person), with others with 55, 39 and 34. Average in medical science is about 5 [world average of 5.15]. So he's not utterly non-notable. Since the original creator was still expanding the article on the day it was listed on VfD, and this was only the day after it was originally created, I'd say an article on a doctor who has published at least one high-impact papers deserves a bit more time to see if the creator can expand further. Google also shows he is the named recipient in a number of research programmes funded by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and The Prostate Cancer Foundation. Give some time to expand - slap it on pages needing attention and see if the IP expands it more. Average Earthman 23:18, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. True, it appears so but it is an interesting encyclopedic subject. The article needs a major revision in order to focus on spiritual healing instead of Muslim spiritual healing. It concerns all other human beliefs. Svest 00:32, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

Clean up. Needs universalist treatment (definitely has Islam-centric POV at present). Could subdivide out into sections like Judaism/Islam/Christianity/Other. The phenomenon has existed in biblical accounts since Elijah and before, occupies about 20% of Christian bible texts, and interest in it was more seriously revived by Christian Science starting about the turn of the 20th century, about the same time mainstream Christianity in the US came under active challenge from the scientific revolutions. Chris Rodgers 04:04, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Sure, the subject is definitely worthy of an article, but is any of the current content? It's a nice essay giving some good advice, but I don't see an encyclopedic article in it. Maybe move it to Wikibooks or something. - Mustafaa 06:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep This needs alot of work. Many different types of spiritual healing. I.e Judaism feels that God outsources his healing powers to doctors. And hence sick people must seek medical help for their ailiments. Christian science has a whole theology around it, which is very different from spiritual healing in pentecostalism.

Redirect to faith healing. I was going to clean this up (ie: delete 99% of it) and turn it into a stub, but it seems to be more or less synonymous with, and well covered by, faith healing. I'm going to add the link to Quranic healing to faith healing, though.

Oh, I don't think deletion would be a good idea - this term seems to be fairly widely used. --Kieran 14:46, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

One of the criteria is "Any page which is requested for deletion by the original author, provided the author reasonably explains that it was created by mistake, and the page was edited only by its author." Unfortunately, the page has been edited by others since it was created, so it doesn't fall under that category. I don't know how strict these rules are, though. --Ciaran H 09:46, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Countess of Windermere

Hoax. No such earldom. Mackensen (talk) 21:09, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Abstain The article does not state that the Countess is a peer in the House of Lords. Titles can be granted with no peerage included. The article simply states that she votes Conservitive in the UK and Republican in the US. Noticed the VC was also removed from the author(?); I've made similar mistakes when making editions to other articles. Whether the title really exists I do not know, but sounds plausible. One could always called Buckingham Palace or The Home Office for authentication. KCD Not remotely convincing - and I think it is for the author to cite verifiable sources (DeBrette's or Burke's Peerage??) which he fails to do --Doc Glasgow 08:19, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

  - Actually, a handful of hereditary peerages have been given comparatively recently, but only to people like Whitelaw with no sons so the title would not be inherited in practice, a very British fudged compromise. The whole article is full of implausibilities to anyone who knows much about British titles and awards, but the most obvious is that it is obviously inspired by Lady Windermere's Fan, a fairly well known play by Oscar Wilde. Delete PatGallacher 13:03, 2005 Apr 30 (UTC)
    - The Earldom of Stockton, created in 1984 for Harold Macmillan, has now been inherited by his grandson, and there are several other heirs if his line dies out. (And this "Windermere" title isn't simply "implausible" - it can be stated with absolute certainty that it doesn't exist.) Proteus (Talk) 13:43, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Whitelaw and Macmillan both got their peerages in the early 80's - and were notable exceptions. Since then no non-royal hereditaries have been created. A hereditary to a royal lackey is thus implausible. This article is however quite amusing. Doc Glasgow

    - i'll look for a link ... haven't seen one yet though and people have been asking me about the game, which is part of the reason i saw a need for the wiki article in the first place. I'm sure you appreciate how some topics, though less notable, lend themselves much more to Internet coverage than others and i think borgolf falls into the latter category, unfortunately. Still don't see how this is original research any more than other articles, i didn't have any role in the game's invention and didnt even play it till the last day in nashville... "George Bush is the 43rd president," is it original research if i counted the ones before? ---FoodMarket ^talk! 04:36, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I read verifiable and I see that wikipedia does rely on published references, but I think that some value has to be assigned to the fact that borgolf is the sort of topic that achieves notability long before the mainstream media takes notice... so how to do an article? should wikipedia wait? ---FoodMarket ^talk! 04:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment: Generally, yes, we should wait. Wikipedia has no need to "scoop" anyone and a great need to be easily verifiable by any future reader/editor. Patience is a virtue when deciding to write about events that are still current. Rossami (talk) 02:19, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Only 29 hits, most other uses? Unverifiable and/or neologism and/or original research. Given the timeless, universal nature of Wikipedia, even if it can be proved college students in 6 US states have played the game in the past couple months, I'm not sure it's a big enuf blip in the universal timeline to have an article (at least yet)--I suspect a LOT of "games" that have been 'invented' on US colleges that won't pass the test of time. Niteowlneils 06:44, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I would answer that unlike most spur of the moment "invented" college games, this has spread to six states. ---FoodMarket ^talk! 12:40, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm with Niteowlneils, but from the other side. If this *does* take off, the article will just have to be retrometabolised. Review in 6 months--Simon Cursitor 07:43, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless and until it takes off. Rick K 19:50, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
Borgolf has spread to Florida University? Funny, that doesn't exist, unless you're Lorraine in a MADtv segment. Delete, dubious. Mike H 22:23, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- haha oh come on, i think you know i meant University of Florida -- this is wikipedia, if you see an error, correct it. Florida was at the tournament that weekend. ---FoodMarket ^talk! 01:59, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I did the college equivalent of a Google test; I searched under "groups" and "interests" on thefacebook, which has over a million college students. Surely if it's so popular, at least one kid would either have created a borgolf club or have borgolf as one of their interests. Funny...for every university listed, no results were found. Mike H 22:29, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- thefacebook is great and i am as big an internet nerd as anyone but just because something doesnt google or is not listed on thefacebook doesnt mean it's doesn't exist or is not verifiable -- if anyone is from any of the schools listed in the article, please come forward if you've heard of or even played the game, jeez. ---FoodMarket ^talk! 02:01, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] George Clooney (movie character)

This is worth maybe a one-line remark in the Team America article, but this article itself isn't even really about the George Clooney character in the movie, but about all of the celebrity characters in the movie. Rick K 23:06, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Or possibly a partial merge/redir to the movie article. I found the version I first saw[7] pretty marginal, and unrelated to the George Clooney character, but now it has diverged even further[8]. Wikipedia is a general interest encyclopedia, not www.PuppetMoviesInDetail.com. The entire content related to G.C. is "George Clooney...Killed by a grenade explosion." Niteowlneils 06:38, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. --Conti|✉ 00:03, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

The article has now been moved to Part of Team America, and the VfD header stripped off. I've restored the VfD header, but there is still nothing in the newly-named article which is keepable. Rick K 19:28, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

I have cleaned up the page to the best of my ability - so if people are still unhappy can they please be specific as to what further things should be done.

Hoax. Nothing links here. There is a spoiler header, spoiler of what? A movie? A TV show? And why is the image of "Elizabeth Tudor at age 13" supposedly labeled Mildred as "Queen of Poland"? Queen of Poland? Rick K 23:19, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of 2ch Boards

I am a big fan of 2ch, but this list has been stagnating as a useless duplicate of 2ch.net's boardlist for a long time, without any major attempt at translation. In the meantime http://4-ch.net/2chportal/ has completed a translation. I don't think this article is useful any longer, and although 2ch has 5 million users I don't know whether a boardlist is enyclopedic. Requesting a judgment on this. Ashibaka (tock) 23:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, non-notable, unencyclopedic, no content. Heaven forbid if anybody ever decides to link all of those boards. Rick K 23:28, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Liar paradox, which discusses this same concept that the title is getting at, but validly. The This sentence is false article is fodder for BJAODN. --Idont Havaname
