[edit] Unbibium
This article has been tagged for deletion by User:132.205.3.20, but he seems not to have been able to figure out how to finish up the deletion process. The article has been nominated for deletion once before: see Talk:Unbibium. No vote --Carnildo 21:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Until something is known about these very heavy transuranium elements I tend to vote merge into a list. As of now, the heaviest element is element 114, with 115 and 116 awaiting confirmation. There is not much point in a fancy infobox when such elementary properties as the half-life or decay energy are unknown because the element hasn't been made at all. Pilatus 22:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- COMMENT I tend to think that the elements in the island of stability, and last classically stable elements (139, 138, 137, 136) are deserving of articles on their own. 132.205.46.188 01:52, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- We could mention that fact in a paragraph on List of undiscovered transuranium elements. Pilatus 09:34, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

- There are a fair bit of such entries left. As I said, recreate those systematic element names that are missing and have them point to List of undiscovered transuranium elements until they are reported and merit an entry of their own. Pilatus 11:05, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, please create all such redirects (up to, say, 200?) because that will stop people from recreating them. A neat table would be nice. Delete or redirect. Radiant_>|< 13:55, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep possibly Merge: There has been at least one article in a scientific jourmnal dealing with its theoretical properties, so it not that we don't know anything about eka-thorium, we just don't know very much. Granted, the amount of information known is minimal enough that merging with other theoretical period 8 elements into a single article may be a reasonable option, especially since the elementbox templates aren't really set up at the moment to handle anything past period 7.

- As much as I am in favor of deleting vanity cranks, this one is a bit harder as we still seem to have the article on cardioretinometry. As long as that article persists there ought to be an article on its inventor. Obviously this existing article needs to be torn to shreds and rewritten but it's anomalous to have the "medical" procedure without the "medico" who invented it.

The result of the debate was delete. As for the rewrite, there doesn't seem to be sufficient consensus to delete it (although it's close and some votes are ambiguous), so kept for now.

- Comment; I maintain that Bush Sydney J. UK Optometrist/Researcher/Inventor: Introduced Cardioretinometry December 2002. should be deleted for more reasons than I can count - it's horribly biased, postulating and very vain. Uncle G's rewrite of Sydney J. Bush has come out alright though and should be kept.
Speedy delete. nn and vanity. ManoaChild 01:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)- Delete the article with the long title. The rewrite has merit, and I need more time to evaluate it. I applaud Uncle G's efforts; however, I wish that Uncle G had not placed the new article under this VfD, since the articles are so different. ManoaChild 20:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Extend delete to cover rewritten article. Unable to independantly confirm notability. Rewritten article, while much improved, consists primarily of a list of letters written, which is not notable (fails average professor test). ManoaChild 20:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Since cardioretinometry is gone, changing vote on this to delete. As for Sydney J. Bush, thank you very much Uncle G, that was above and beyond and the deck chairs are really nicely arranged now, but delete that as well as crank. Writers of letters to journals and organizations do not achieve notability by virtue of that activity, and the Freemasonry clinches it. -EDM 13:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Duplicate with very crappy title. - Mgm|(talk) 07:43, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- I've done a complete rewrite from scratch at Sydney J. Bush. It wasn't based on this article, which is entirely autobiographical, having been created by User:Sydney J Bush. There is no need to retain Bush Sydney J. UK Optometrist/Researcher/Inventor: Introduced Cardioretinometry December 2002., and it should be Deleted as the self-promoting, biased, egregiously mis-titled, autobiographical abomination that it is.
However, I have brought Sydney J. Bush under the umbrella of this discussion. Other people don't write much about this person. Research mainly brought up self-publicity. For the latter article, Weak Keep. Uncle G 11:22:50, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- Delete I applaud Uncle G's efforts, but this doctor appears to be pretty much textbook non-notable. He's got a theory, and he's given his examination style a name. That's good, and perhaps one day, we'll have a big article about how he was published and everyone follows his theory of scurvy. Until that happens, it's non-encyclopedic. -Harmil 12:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'd say "First optometrist to make available inexpensive, cosmetically acceptable, invisible prism segment bifocal spectacle lenses (not available in the USA at present) for the relief of convergence insufficiency." is a fair claim at notability, but maybe that's because I worked with an opticien's shop. - Mgm|(talk) 12:57, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- "It is said that his birth was marked by earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, firestorms, the explosion of three neighbouring stars, and, shortly afterwards, by the issuing of over six and three quarter million writs for damages from all of the major landowners in his Galactic sector. However, the only person by whom this is said is Beeblebrox himself, and there are several possible theories to explain this." — Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fit The Ninth.
I didn't find anything at all that mentioned the claim that you mention, or the claims to holding patents. The only source for these claims is User:Sydney J Bush, writing his autobiography in Wikipedia. See the rewrite for the stuff that I did find. Uncle G 13:17:16, 2005-08-24 (UTC)

- Obviously, delete the horrible-title one and its twin firmly and quickly. For Uncle G's version, while it's very nice to see verbs in the sentences and a good structure, its virtues only make it clearer why "other people don't write much about this person", so delete (a little less firmly) that one, too. Bishonen | talk 13:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment/query: if the invention of cardioretinometry is notable, why has the article been deleted? Similarly, are his invisible prism segment bifocal spectacle lenses notable enough to discuss in corrective lenses? If not, I don't believe we can call him notable. Delete, though admittedly not as speedy as before. JDoorjam 13:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Because it was original research, and admitted original research, too. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Cardioretinometry where Bush says so outright, in as many words. It's not published in peer-reviewed journals, and the only source for it is the inventor himself. Uncle G 13:32:20, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- Did I mention that, in addition to vanity, it is also original research? Still delete. This applies to all articles in this series related to cardioretinometry or its inventor. --IByte 16:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- cardioretinometry certainly was original research. And the parts of the two autobiographies by User:Sydney J Bush that also presented that theory directly, were too. But to be original research as a biography, Sydney J. Bush would have to have presented a novel interpretation of the biography, or have been primary source material. With no arguments that this is a novel interpretation, and cited sources for practically every individual sentence in the article, I suggest that this is not so. As it is a biography article: rather than addressing it as if it were about the theory propounded by the person, which it is not, it's best addressed on the grounds of whether the person, that it is about, satisfies the Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies, as Geogre, MacGyverMagic, EDM, Harmil, JDoorjam, and Bishonen have done above, discussing such things as whether people have written about this person and what this person's recognized achievements have been. Uncle G 18:10:45, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- Vanity, then. This is why I'm usually not fond of merging VfDs for related articles, because the reasonings may differ. Building a bridge from one reasoning to the next, though, I don't think coming up with a theory that fails WP:NOR gets you sufficient notability to pass WP:BIO. --IByte 18:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Groups of articles nominated together are sometimes troublesome in that regard, yes. But this wasn't a group of articles, just a rewrite done as the discussion progressed, a rewrite to replace an autobiography with a biography, about the same subject. That your opinion about a rewrite may differ from your opinion of the original is the idea. ☺ Moreover: It's better to bring rewrites created as new articles under the same umbrella than not to. Uncle G 19:47:53, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- I appreciate your efforts, but I don't think the subject matter has sufficient merit for WP. --IByte 20:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Masculinity
"Feminity" redirects to Gender role; article is mostly covered by Gender role ♥purplefeltangel 01:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Merge if there is anything not covered in Gender role. Zeimusu | Talk page 01:22, 2005 August 24 (UTC)
- Comment; There are articles for Feminism and Masculinism while Feminity and Masculinity are (requested) redirected to gender role. Am I the only one who is loosing track of the definitions here? Celcius 01:25, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect works. The -isms are allegedly cultural/political activities and ideologies, while the -ities are aspects of culturally defined identity and so are covered by Gender role. Geogre 01:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: According to masculinity, the term contrasts to effeminacy, which is not a redirect. Martg76 01:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The present article is badly written and confusing, but Martg76 makes an interesting point. In common usage 'masculinity' is the opposite of 'effeminacy', and 'virile' is the opposite of 'feminine'. OTOH, 'virile' and 'feminine' are still largely terms of admiration, not of abuse. They correlate not only to sexual attractiveness but to positive characteristics of individuals. Cspalletta 18:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, if we need to merge content, do it, no need to bring it here. Trollderella 21:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous. There is not even a majority for outright deletion, so it stands between redirect and outright keep. There are seven votes to keep, five votes to delete and six votes to redirect. If I put the redirect and delete votes together we have 11-7 for discarding the content, which I will not call a consensus either. Also, I'm not sure if a redirect at this title to Beta Theta Pi would be really useful, or just confusing. Therefore, I will call this an outright keep (no consensus) for the time being. If anyone wants to merge or redirect, they may do so. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- And I have deleted it. This is a copyvio, and I can't believe nobody saw it before. All the Beta Theta Pi founder articles were created as copyvios back in February. Might want to put them on your watchlist so when they get recreated again you can redelete them. CryptoDerk 12:42, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete as per Tysto. -- Kjkolb 12:01, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Beta Theta Pi per Alan Au. The existence of one Presidential elector whose action was notable does not confer notability on all the rest who rubber-stamped their states' decision, and being one of eight founders of a fraternity does not (in my opinion) rise to the level of meriting a WP bio article. Barno 15:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect as per Alan Au. Proto t c 15:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Keep or redirect Trollderella 21:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. A presidential elector is a minor party functionary selected on the sole criteria of loyalty to the party. The average elector is about as notable as the average rubber stamp. --Carnildo 22:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Beta Theta Pi--Dysepsion 00:15, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

- Keep He also wrote a chapter in a book, "The Hare Krishna Movement," published by Columbia University Press in 2004. Also, per a civil complaint I found online (case number 3-00CV1254-L U.S. District Court N. Dist. of Texas) he was the Chairman of the "Governing Body of Commissioners" of the "International Society For Krishna Consciousness" and was accepting service of process on their behalf at the time the document was prepared.

- I was probably going to vote keep, but I think it's a copyvio. I will tag as such. CanadianCaesar 04:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Delete -- Seems to be vanity & nn. Large number of red links for "prominent musicians," "greatest Persian cultural figures," and "reputable Persian publications" is a strong indicator. A Google search for one of the publications cited, Bukhara bi-monthly returns only one hit: Pejman's bio. Several other references yielded similar, circular results. However, I do have some reservations about this VfD, since I am not even remotely familiar with the Tehran musical or cultural scene, or the volume of net-based data related to it. -Awyllie 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a published author who has produced two volumes of an ongoing work on Iranian music which has been well received within his community. He's been interviewed by the weekly literary magazine Ketab-e Hafte, the Iranian.com (which featured him in 2002 as their Iranian of the day) describes him as "the keeper of all things Persian". He is listed by persiangulfonline.com as one of two "Research and Publication Members". If I were Iranian (I'm not, as it happens) I'd want to know a bit about this fellow. I'm not Iranian (as I said) and I want to know about this fellow. This is why we have encyclopedias. This is why I write for this encyclopedia. We can put stuff into his article and other people can read it. All those who think this is a good idea say "Aye". --Tony SidawayTalk 01:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. He's not the first Persian musician to write an article about himself at Wikipedia (see Peyman Nasehpour). No biggie, we can rework it so it's not a copy-vio or excessively hagiographical.--Jpbrenna 03:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Also same editor keeps putting in (and occasionally reverting) bits about International Asperger's Year (a term coined by this "group") into ANY Asperger's related article. --Ryan Norton T | @ | C 04:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Do not delete The AAGW is a legitimate organization, with frequent activities and regular meetings. The AAGW listserv was listed because its Web site was not yet ready. By the way, the Aspies for Freedom is a Web site with a chat group but has no meetings; it qualifies for an entry. Surely there ought to be some consistency in how the AFF and the AAGW are considered. :-) 29:38, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Salad Fingers theories
There was a page with the same premise of this one that was previously voted for deletion, yet another one was created. That page is archived here. Articles with personal essays and original thought have no place in Wikipedia. The decision should be respected, and this article should be deleted. Kaonashi 05:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- For rules on original thought/research, please see Wikipedia:No original research
- Keep. I think the parent article, Salad Fingers, has gained enough notoriety to warrant an interesting and well thought out article on the sense behind the nonsensical that is Salad Fingers. Wikipedia is not completely devoid of theories behind speculated symbolism, and on a related note, Harry Potter has a huge page devoted to the all the spells that appear in the books/movies and their possible incantations, causes, effects, and origins. -- MacAddct1984 06:07, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; this smacks of original research. --Alan Au 06:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Dottore So 06:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I think all those involved have done an excellent job in explaining the aspects of the Salad Finger universe and the article is both entertaining, enlightening and informing. I don't see how Salad Fingers Theories needs a deletion its presense only serves to be of help. And somehow I believe fans of the series would likely look on Wikipedia anyway for analysis rather then synopsis. I really don't mean to offend those who want to delete the article but i doubt their critical reasoning, those who aren't so keen on Salad Fingers shouldn't be voting as to them it may be seen as a mindless cartoon. This would prevent an argumentum ad numerum which is largely swindled by lack-of-knowledge decisions rather then of informed decisions.
- rebuttal Original research applies largely to only academic articles, also I have reason to believe Rjonseric is a sock puppet as it seems to be within close time frame and point as Nandesukall. The article states that it is theory and primary and secondary research is clearly used noting a NPOV which is not minority --Raddicks 13:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Kaonashi, this new page was created beause it shares nothing at all with the last page besides the name. It wouldn't be fair to keep the same votes for a page that has been completely redesigned. You've all probably seen the episodes. From discussion I know that 90% blow off the series as non-sensical and weird, while the other 10% ask if there's moe to it than what they see on the surface. David Firth even admits that there is more to the series than most people think, and I believe it's a great idea to keep theories (that were actually the result of discussion on David's page and not the result of one person's effort) so interested people can have a resource to help them with their own analyzations. -- Kyle Michelson 24 August 2005
- Keep I believe this has proved some interesting ideas into this series, and could be a good solve to the true story. -- Legendarydairy11:25, 24 August 2005. - (user's 4th and 6th edits)
- Abstain I think it would be better as a section of Salad Fingers, but I'm prepared to give this page a chance to prove its worth. --Billpg 18:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Merge,The theories don't necesarrily warrant another article. But the main points from here should definetly be moved to the main salad fingers article.
- Delete, NOR. Radiant_>|< 13:59, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge to Salad Fingers Roodog2k 17:32, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - This is really overanalysing the saladfingers series of flash movies. It smacks of original research and borders on patent nonsense. Something that I would expect to find on a salad fingers fan forum, bordering on fan fiction. - Hahnchen 23:45, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- All i would say to that is there are two points to one match stick, you either get the spark or you don't. --Raddicks 19:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. Into Salad Fingers; it seems like the best course of action. - Gavin 1:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Sharon Disney was one of the reasons Walt Disney created Disneyland in the first place...and I heard her surviving sister Diane address the crowd at the fiftieth anniversary celebration last month and she made reference to Sharon. Might take a whack at this m'self. - Lucky 6.9 05:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, redirect to Disney family and make a mention at Walt Disney that she was adopted because Walt and Lillian Disney had trouble concieving kids (they planned on having far more children than just Diane). --FuriousFreddy 14:07, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Blogs may not be vain, but articles about them are. Especially blogs that are less than a week old. Zoe 19:28, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- (Referring to Zoe's statement) singaporeboy. First of all, vain means unsuccessful or useless; of no value. The value of a blog is not up to us to decide, unfortunately.

- Well, I didn't want to lose the info if it is redirect-worthy, but the Dartmouth article is already huge. Zoe 08:11, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- That is a good point. There isn't space in the Dartmouth article for anything in this, but at the same time I don't think that a whole individual article is needed for a single dining hall. The homework thing below complicates things too. --Apyule 12:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- The guide(s) weren't really done in time. I doubt that any of User:Pcw's students even saw it. But let's relax. Last year there were literally dozens of articles like this one. This year, I think there were only a handful. This makes me think that even though the written assignment doesn't mention it, the word must have gotten out anyway. If the ratio of good articles to problem articles is 100:1, as I think it is this year, I don't think we need to do anything special about it at all. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, because the article does not point out anything notable about the dining hall. I don't even think this is worth merging into Dartmouth College. I would reconsider if evidence were presented showing that the "etched-leather paintings" were of encyclopedic interest (who painted them? are they famous? old?) and if someone were to upload an image of them. By the way, the assignment asks students to "please register and use a name that makes sense," which this contributor did not do. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Look up the referance and it will give you plenty to read. The main point of this Vfd is to decide if a thing is notable enough for an encyclopaedia.

And don't worry, the user in question begun (and continues) his Blitzkrieg in those articles, so he certainly knows about them. My impression is that the 34 articles he has created is either an attempt to be left alone, or an attempt to exhaust his opponents. -- Egil 09:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
You appear to be obsessed with trying to tell me what to write about. These pages aren't just talking about measures. In the case of the page on the Aroura we are talking about the differenc e between public and private architecture, the power of landholding, feudalism, Land Tenure in the time of the Ramesides, things about which you are clueless on every level.

- It really isn't about the fact that ancient civilizations from Mesopotamia and Egypt to Greece and Rome knew the size of the earth or for that matter that it wasn't flat. Its about the fact that they shared what they knew. That applies to boatbuilding, the construction of an arch, ideas about natural philosophy, the uses of unit fractions, agriculture, written laws and the form of contracts, architecture, canons of proportion, and how to make beer.Rktect 01:03, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

As an architect I work with measures every day and have a different perspective in that I find them interesting and sometimes pleasing when well proportioned so I study them.

- As I go through and look at the pages I'm working on I rarely find one that hasn't been tagged, then reverted and had images, content and references removed to give the impression that all are all about measures only, when they are definitely not. That sort of thing is just plain slimy and should not be encouraged by people voting for deletion without checking out the history. Egil claims I have created 34 articles since August 5.

[edit] Disney's 65 episode policy
A combination of fan speculation, very mild fancruft, original research, and opinions. Disney cartoons aren't specially singled out; nearly all network and syndicated animated shows stop after 65 episodes (because at 65, the studio have enough episodes to broadcast for each weekday for 13 weeks--a full season). I'd say to delete this article with no redirect, and make a mention of the policy at an article for television syndication. FuriousFreddy 10:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Delete as per FuriousFreddy. -- Kjkolb 12:21, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless appropriate text/references are provided regarding an identifiable DisneyCo policy. Industry economics make this a standard run for shows, but I think saying "nearly all" overstates its case. Monicasdude 19:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename to just 65 episode policy. Topic is notable and need to be reserched futher Guerberj 19:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- What more can be said besides providing the reasons why the shows are cancelled after 65 episodes that doesn't venture into fan speculation/wishing? Anything that can be said about the topic can be said in two sentences. There is no point to try and make a "list of network/syndicated cartoons canclled after 65 episodes" it would literally include 70% of all televison cartoons produced within the last twenty years. --FuriousFreddy 20:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- My use of "fancruft" here is to define the non-neutral speculation and blaiming for the shows' cancellation, as if there were some sort of a conspiracy for their cancelations, and the inherent non-neutral opinions and suppositions that new episodes should have continued to have been made. The article is not encyclopediaic, and it is not an encyclopediaic topic. No, Wikipedia doesn't have to be just about Shakespeare and nuclear physics, but it should treat all subjects in a scholarly manner, and not present articles about children's shows based upon fan speculation. --FuriousFreddy 14:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cries of animals
Marked as a speedy but doesn't fit anything on WP:CSD. I'm tempted to vote delete just so I can say, "WP:NOT a See 'n Say", but in all fairness I think this could be cleaned up into a decent article, after a page move to a better name. No vote, regardless as I'm just fulfilling the original intent of the speedy nominator. Fernando Rizo T/C 11:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- I understand that systems have to be in place to filter out the dross however the correct terms for the cries of animals is an area of interest to many people and one which was heretofore not covered in this valuable resource. <unsigned comment by User:80.43.71.225, the article author>
Either merge with List_of_animal_noises#Animal_sounds, orkeep and rename to Animal sounds. The list can really be quite useful. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)- Comment actually could be quite interesting, but as is article is not good at all... so I'm on the sidelines on this one --Ryan Norton T | @ | C 11:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to List of animal sounds. Since none or very little of these sounds could get their own article, I don't think a category would work. - Mgm|(talk) 13:00, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and remane (to List of animal sounds as per User:MGM), a useful article, surprise that it's nominated. --Commander Keane 13:06, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. This was obviously written by a fan of the game but is completely non-sensical to the average browser.

-
- The David Jasper you found may be worthy of an entry, but comparing his bio on the Glasgow University site to the article makes me doubt it's the same person. I strongly suspect a hoax. "Sir David is Married to Victoria" just screams David Beckham. Nothing in the article seems verifiable. If somebody wants to re-write the article to reference the David Jasper you found, I'll consider changing my vote. --GraemeL (talk) 13:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Speedy. Seems to be a recreation of "E-gameshow" which was up on VfD before. Sdedeo 20:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Do not Delete The only way people will FIND this page is if they explicitly search for "e-gameshow". This page adequately (if primatively) describes what an e-gameshow is and furnishes an example of one that isn't mired with popups, as well as provides a link to the usage of the term in a news article. The definition of an "e-gameshow" is no more obvious than the definition of "e-mail". If someone is asking themselves "what is an e-gameshow" and they search on Wikipedia and can't find an answer, isn't that basically censorship and data-flow constriction? More effort should be put into improving the entry, but deleting it would be a pointless gesture. 11:40, 25 August 2005 (Unsigned from 68.126.252.150 which is the IP address of the author of the article in question.)
- Do not delete the 3 arguements in favor of deleting it are "[it] explains the obvious", "I am ungrabbed by this", and it "seems to be a recreation of something else". The the definition is NOT any more obvious than any other defintion. 2) the wikipedia does not exist in order to "grab" people. 3) It's a word that has been used in multiple locations. 4) can you confirm that it is a recreation of the thing you mentioned before, or is this just wild speculation? I agree that it should be improved, not deleted. Wikipedia exists to expand knowledge, not limit it based on popular opinion. 1:56, 27 August 2005.

- Gosh, you make it sound like a bad thing. If I messed up, why not simply undo it? Why all this fuss? Whatever happened to the wiki way? Since when must bold action be thwarted with 3-day and 7-day voting procedures? I'm not going to edit war over this. If there's a policy (or even a convention) that non-notable bands aren't worthy of an article, why is there even a vote? I'm an admin, just tell me to delete the page, for Pete's sake! (Instead of making a federal case out of it - and refusing to explain anything other than to say these are the rules and read the rules again. Do you think I'm too stupid to understand a simple explanation? Or what? Uncle Ed 19:39, August 24, 2005 (UTC))
- I don't think Uncle G was having a go at you, simply explaining the situation to anyone who happened upon this VfD, because of the unconventional nature of these two particular VfDs. Also, I think there's a difference between being bold, and circumventing concensus-building. The reason for the vote is so that people can come to a concensus as to whether a band is notable or not. (Ed and I have been discussing the moving of VfD articles on his talk page, if anyone is interested). KeithD (talk) 20:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. The requirements state that the assertion has to not be disputed or controversial. Since votes in the past have deleted articles with these same claims to notability many times over, I would argue that the assertion is not controversial. Then again your bringing up this topic is probably now controversial enough to require a vote. :) --Quintin3265 14:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was KEEP. I think the differences between the various rename suggestions (including straight retention) are fairly moot, so I won't move it. You can take it WP:RM or just be bold. -Splash 00:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of songs in which the lyrics are exclusively nonsensical words
Really, how many of these could there possibly be? Al 13:11, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. This would be a great list... if there were actually any songs to put on it. I would suggest that the page be kept if someone can find some songs to list, or deleted if nobody contributes any songs before this vote finishes. --Quintin3265 13:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Further suggestion. Why not rename this list List of songs where nonsense words comprise a significant portion of the entire lyrics if it is kept to address Proto's concerns? Or would there be too many songs to list? --Quintin3265 15:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- List of songs which incorporate nonsense lyrics would be a better name. But I still don't like lists. Grr to lists. Proto t c 15:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Change vote to keep and rename. After looking around, I've decided that lists aren't that bad. List of sex positions, for example, is one of the most visited articles on Wikipedia. Regardless of the purient interest some people may have in that subject, it's a list that is useful to many people nonetheless.

- Agree with Quintin3265. I remember a song called Din Daa Daa by George Krantz. The whole lyrics are: "Din daa daa, don doo doo. Pappa rappa pappa rappa." — JIP | Talk 13:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

- The difference is that in your comment, you were suggesting that people, instead of VfDing small bands, move the topic to List of small bands (which is a bad idea for the reason given by Mgm above); while Uncle G was letting us know that you had moved Machines of Desire, an article currently undergoing VfD, to List of small bands. Moving VfD articles is explicitly prohibited in the Guide to VfD page and even on the template. You were endorsing this action, Uncle G was not. Uncle G was just saying that this had happened, which is important because if this article is deleted it affects Machines of Desire. --Blackcap | talk 20:14, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Editors (especially those recently smacked around for bad judgement in abuse of admin privileges) should please not remove VfD notices during the voting period, regardless of whether they also moved content without consensus.

This is actually funny. I just received an email to check this out. I am the founder of JMR Band. We ARE a real band. We have been playing a long time. We have played with some notable groups, but WE have never had a national hit record. Of course, that has never been our purpose. We have always been and always will be an indie group. We received some significant regional radio airplay on one of our songs, but that's about it. I hope this clears up the matter. [Joe / jmrband@hotmail.com]

- In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,

- Redirect, no opinion on deletion. Gazpacho 18:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- I thought of redirecting it, but the vanity would remain in the edit history. It would make an excellent redirect once it's out of VfD. - Lucky 6.9 18:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea to maintain the edit history. They're completely non-notable now, but if in six months time we're all jumping around to Gas Gas Quick Boys' latest album and they're booked to appear onstage with Bono in Live9, well I reckon it might be a good idea to say "we had 'em first." :) See also the first Franz Ferdinand (band) article. Wasn't much, was it? --Tony SidawayTalk 02:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Not precisely analogous; Franz Ferdinand's first album had hit the UK top 10 a week before their first article was created. Gas Gas Quick Boys is still working on their first EP. Redirect to the poem Dulce et Decorum Est. If the band ever does become notable, the article can be recreated to be about them. --Metropolitan90 05:33, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

He had major hit records. He was a signed recording artist (Benson / Greentree / Diadem). He also played with other notables, Dallas Holm and Phil Johnson! He toured all over the country. The reason his name is not highly known with the current young generation is because he has largely stopped major touring to raise a family.

[edit] Solomon Bandaranaike
This page contains identical information to the page Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike. There is no point having two articles for the same person, one using his full name and one just using a shortened form of his name. Because of this, I would suggest that this page is deletedVino s 18:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Please read Wikipedia:duplicate articles, which is there for exactly this situation. There is no requirement for articles to be deleted in this circumstance. Indeed, someone had already done the very work required until this edit undid it. You could simply have reverted Adam Carr (talk • contribs) in one edit instead of nominating the article for deletion in three. ☺ Uncle G 19:00:46, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- Given that a Google search shows significantly more results for the shorter name rather than the longer one, I think we should look at having the longer name as a redirect to the shorter name. Capitalistroadster 00:55, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Note that the history shows a cut-and-paste move from this (the original) title to the longer one on Jan. 12, 2005. A history merge would probably me a good idea. Tupsharru 06:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Original Research -Satori (talk) 18:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete- It's an essay, not an encyclopedia article. Christy747 18:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- This is my 1st attempt. I wish to place an article in the section Educational Challenges and for sure the subject is relevent. Is it possible to advise how I should edit the arguements to fit the Wikpedia format. Thank you Joel —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.0.117.10 (talk • contribs) 2005-08-24 19:06:56 UTC.
- Welcome to Wikipedia, 62.0.117.10. Our articles are written from the neutral point of view. This means that they don't have first-person statements telling the reader what "my opinion is", or referring to things "as I state above", or saying what "young children should be" doing. Our articles are also verifiable, which means that, for just one example, where they state that the Surgeon General has warned about something, they should cite sources so that the reader can confirm that the Surgeon General has indeed given such a warning. Most importantly, as far as the nomination here is concerned, they must not be original research. Any article that states outright that "The process of introducing young children to computers is little understood and researched." and then goes on to expound upon the subject at length is, by its own admission, new research in the field. Wikipedia is not the place for publishing new research. Please do that in peer-reviewed journals, or somewhere else where peer review will be performed. Please come to Wikipedia with stuff that has been researched, published, peer-reviewed, and accepted into the general corpus of human knowledge already. Finally, our article titles conform to our naming conventions. Uncle G 20:21:17, 2005-08-24 (UTC)

speedy redirect to List of historical reenactment groups -Satori (talk) 18:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)- comment - Nevermind, that's circular, as that page links to the one up for VfD.

- Strong keep Gee you guys are quick to pounce, this page has only just been created! OK, so I started this page and maybe I am predudiced. It is there to balance List of medieval reenactment groups, List of modern reenactment groups etc. I am activly promoting it and it is growing by the hour. Further, I am working on more articles for Category:Ancient Roman legionary equipment, much of the information for these pages is based on Experimental archaeology performed by such groups.

-
- Larry H. Parker (LHP) is an injury attorney in Long Beach, California with a staff of fifty, and a specialty of automobile and motorcycle law.
- Before commercials mentioning dollar amounts were prohibited by California law, Parker was known locally for his TV commercials in which a man states, "Larry Parker got me $2.1 million and man am I enjoying it!"
-
- Delete Laughable yes, notable no... maltmomma 01:48, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep My personal opinion is that his original ads were pretty cheezy, but they were a very common sight on late night TV in Los Angeles for quite awhile, and they did cause a law to be written to eliminate the mention of the amount of legal settlements in lawyer advertising in California. The Parker Law Firm and this article should be merged together. BlankVerse ∅ 09:28, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Although I'm usually more of a deletionist, this is one case that deserves to be saved. I'm not going to campaign for it, but hopefully some people will change their vote.

- I don't think being known locally for annoying ads rises to the level of being encyclopedic. Comparisons are odious... but... we recently deleted an article on the late Ernie Boch, his sons, car dealership empire, philanthropies, etc. He had regional notability. In fact when I recently bought my car from Boch Toyota (2nd largest Toyota in the world), someone was there who had driven 200 miles from New Jersey because Boch had the car he wanted in stock and his local Toyota dealer was estimating a one year wait. Boch's ads in which he smashed car windows with sledgehammers screaming "Nobody smashes prices like Boch" and his catchphrase "Come on down!" were famous throughout the Boston area. He was of significant local economic importance, building a coalition of auto dealers in the Norwood area into a loose coalition and promoting the "Automile" as a car-shopping mecca. I live near the Automile and am a happy customer. I thought the article should be deleted, and that was the consensus. I really think the degree of notability between Boch and Parker is very comparable... and both fall short. Both individuals deserve brief mention as local notables in the articles on the cities where they did business, and that's all. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:41, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dwane
Dwane the graphiti artist from 1984 in Sweeden seems like patent vanity nonsense to me Cloveious 20:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless expanded to show notability. More than just a claim of being "one of the first graffiti artists." --Etacar11 03:14, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- His real name seems to be Tommy Filipowicz and he appears to have become an established (mostly commercial) artist and art director. His website (with CV, exhibitions etc.) is here. Not sure if he is notable enough, though. The graffiti scene is obviously somewhat of an an underground thing, and his reputation in that world dates to before the breakthrough of the Internet, so it probably requires someone familiar with that to write a proper article. Tupsharru 14:24, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Im all in favor of moving the article, if the masses think its noteable to Tommy Filipowicz. I don't think Dwane is an appropriate title, and right now as the article stands it just seems silly with no indication of who he really is or refrences, and was waiting for a VFD. Grafiti Artists where I live are a dime a dozen, and a scourge more then anything. I looked through the website and anyone who creates advertising for the Red Cross or David Beckam seems worthy of a page.
- Comment Many people claim to have been "one of the first graffiti artists". In some cases it might be true but it’s really hard to verify. Shortly after the genesis of 'Swedish graffiti' thousands of kids were out painting the walls. In Swedish hip hop I listed Dissey, who (together with Ziggy) is credited as being 'the first' to spraypaint walls with the colors & motifs that are characteristic of graffiti. These people were arrested on occasions and could consequently prove their claim to fame by showing their arrest sheets. They have also appeared in anthologies, newspaper articles, etc. I listed Mac One because he was a member of the somewhat successful group Treble n' Bass, and has talked about his graffiti days in interviews. Merley were well known within graffiti circles and to the police, he has also talked in interviews and has become infamous under his real name Liam Norberg; for movies and the biggest (?) heist in Swedish history. Later on, galleries for graffiti art were established. Some people were selling their (legal) art work, and hiding their identities became somewhat counterproductive. (decent article, in Swedish) I personally don't know that much about graffiti artists of Sweden. However, regarding Dwane, I think if he (Tommy Filipowicz) graduated elementary school in 1989 he seems a bit too young to have been seriously involved in the graffiti scene in 1983. --Tsaddik Dervish 15:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

The term is used tens of thousands of times on usenet. It is worth including.(Unsigned edit by 68.222.33.165)
It's a word coined by a man trying to illegally sell a pirated music bootleg. The reason it is so common on usenet is that he spams prolifically trying to sell copies of his tapes. At best this is a Vanity Page, at worst it's an advert for illegal goods. Either way, delete.(Unsigned edit by 194.79.243.65)

''Delete' per nominator. Tonywalton | Talk 14:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)- ' Nobody proposing keeping this cruft appears to have any interest in improving the article beyond merely keeping it in its current neologistic, unencyclopaedic form. I'm changing my vote to Strong Delete and am wondering whether an assertion that it's been "referenced" on Usenet rather a lot of times really is an assertion of notability, per 80.229.30.88. Tonywalton | Talk 22:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment 205.188.116.72 (not the IP of the original author) keeps blanking this page. Tonywalton | Talk 19:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
If the text of the entry is the problem, please someone edit that text. I am no expert on encyclopedic authoring. The most important facts are these: "The Wereo" is referenced over 23,800 times on usenet. "The Wereo" is not just a slang term but is itself an actual movement on usenet by several hundred people. "The Wereo" is more popular than many subjects that have listings on Wikipedia. Squidhammer(Unsigned edit by User:209.205.191.147')'
This is blatantly incorrect. Those "several hundred people" are one prolific troll and a small group of hangers-on who follow him around. A simple google search will verify that. This same troll like to use the word "awl" instead of "all" (along with many other such baby-talk spellings). Do you therefore suggest "awl" deserves a wiki page just because one man has used it 100,000 times in usenet posts? Ludicrous.(Unsigned edit by User:80.229.30.88')'
- Awl does have a WP page. The Cockney rhyming slang usage seems rather apposite. Tonywalton | Talk

- Merge My personal opinion is that his original ads were pretty cheezy, but they were a very common sight on late night TV in Los Angeles for quite awhile, and they did cause a law to be written to eliminate the mention of the amount of legal settlements in lawyer advertising in California. The Larry H. Parker article and this article should be merged together. BlankVerse ∅ 09:30, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi everybody, to the concerned person(s) above, first off, I an not a "troll" (whatever that means!) I work here at the Wiki on my own time as we all do!, I am a participant in the following group for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_encyclopedic_merit and I just happen to be working on a subject in an article for Wikipedia, and yeah, while it is only a stub at this point in a few hours I hope it will be read and enjoyed by most with a smile and a wink at for my efforts at the worst. So please wont you all give me a few measurements of time to show you ???? I am a serious editor here at Wikipedia! (and I care!)
I thank you in advance Shalom! (Cathytreks 22:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC))

[edit] The Wikipedia Hall of Shame!
Is a place where people who dont dare register their IP go, and also those who fail to check their facts first before they make an edit may reside as well! Hey guys who want to delete this remember.....This article is a stub. More ..much more to come...So please stand by for...The Wikipedia Hall of Shame! which will serves as a source for humor, interest, or examples of what not to do while editing here on The Wikipedia! come back and fee free to contribute and edit edit edit..in good fun and so please feel free to share your ideas, I'll be back later with a bunch of things. (btw, im not a troll either but love to help make things better around here) User:Cathytreks 22:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC))
Here is my view on Wikipedia from the group im in here on reform of Wiki: "I too shall be glad to assist in helping to develop a standard of thoughful concensus building which shall not impose new censorship standards on the Wikipedia, save those self imposed ones that lay within ourselves. While the concept of "decency" may be POV on its face still, there should be some basic standard of decency that a community should strive to abide by, lest we suffer that result, which would undoubtedly be ...total anarchy." from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_encyclopedic_merit
- Move since User:Cathytreks, seems to think it important, to Wikipedia: or User: namespace or BJAODN. Does not belong in main namespace at all. -- RHaworth 23:16:29, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
- Delete, it certainly doesn't belong in the article space, and it looks like nothing but a bitch page. Zoe 23:20, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Cathy is not a troll, and edits in good faith. This should, however, be in her user space. BJAODN stands for "Bad Jokes And Other Deleted Nonsense," which is where a lot of examples of what not to do end up -- in other words, Cathy, I'm afraid someone has beat you to setting this sort of page up. If, however, you would like to keep a log of pages that serve as examples of what not to do, I'd again suggest setting that up connected to your user page. Cheers, JDoorjam 23:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC).

Excuse me nice editors...I dont even know some/most of you people and yet you treat me as a vandal/troll!...why?..why are you to be sitting in judgement on me and saying those kinds of things, like im a bad person, give me a break, and just Who or what is a BAJOADN!? , anyway you guys arent even giving me a chance...so im going to just work on my piece and hope you will think differently when its no longer just a stub...Please give my article a chance!? I am a serious editor here and this is rediculous how rudely and wrongly I am treated by some of you. ..forshame on those who act so. :( please...and it is not original research! (Cathytreks 23:25, 24 August 2005 (UTC))
- I say delete. Hey, Cathy, what you are writing is not an article. This is not a bunch of community pages; this is an encyclopædia. Much as I like personal camaraderie, I cannot really define that as belonging to an encyclopædia. IINAG 23:47, 24th August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Arrrgh, let's not drag this thru VfD. It's clearly not suitable for the article namespace. How about moving it to Wikipedia:Hall of Shame and worrying no more about it? Friday (talk) 23:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Let's just get her to move it to her namespace, as I suspect it will be better suited there.
-
- I do not see why there should be a 'Wikipedia Hall of shame,' either in an article form, or as part of the communal community pages. Such a thing would be completely subjective, and would be both a cause of more friction than harmony, and, in a twisted way, a recognition of spammers' potency. Surely, we should not dedicate our space to those who try to bring this encyclopaedia down. IINAG 00:12, 25th August 2005 (UTC)
-
- I don't believe that's remotely the intent here, but I can understand why this may be better off as a user page than anywhere else. I see no reason to continue the VfD process for this one, though. There's no way this can end up existing in the article namespace. Friday (talk) 00:17, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kourosh Ziabari
This article, it seems, was written by Kourosh ziabari. There are a few hundred instances of him on the net; the 6 pages of his from the UK are basically him writing on blogs, though, and they don't particularly make sense. I skimmed over some of the Farsi links too, (although my grip on that language is not strong, to put it lightly,) and it seems that, on most of them, he is just bigging himself up. I highlight this for a votes for deletion because I am not sure whether his age and his 'acceptance' classified him as notable. If so, this article needs some deal of rewriting. If not, like I expect, then so be it. IINAG 23:43, 24th August 2005 (UTC)

I fear that this may be a case of Walter Mitty, but perhaps it is just childish imagination. He also claimed that he wrote for the Washington Post and the New York Times, but there are no links to his 'articles' for them at all IINAG 00:26, 25th August 2005 (UTC).

Userfy. All the Google hits to "Kourosh Ziabari" point to his own blogs. He doesn't seem notable enough to merit an article. However, it will make a nice user page. — JIP | Talk 04:30, 25 August 2005 (UTC)- Delete or userfy. Autobiography, vanity. jni 06:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

- Delete This person does not deserve to have a biography here. Compare his weblog last entry "What is cholera?" with this page or just simply google a sentence from his weblog. You will absolutely find an obvious case of plagiarism. Writing articles is different from copying and pasting other's works. (Unsigned vote by 70.52.6.179 (talk • contribs))
- Dear spammer, Our problem is not cholera at this time dear spammer. Our problem is "Kourosh Ziabari" Unsigned vote by Kourosh Ziabari, who removed the above vote
- Kourosh, you should not remove votes from VfD discussions. It constitutes vandalism. And the criticism is legit - you flat-out stole that article from the health guide website. You even included the headers before the actual article, not bothering to even try to make it look like you wrote it. If this is all your "journalism" amounts to, it is not journalism, it's theft. — JIP | Talk 10:24, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- An observation: There is a book by Elizabeth Laird titled "The House on the Hill," and I don't doubt it is a perfectly lovely book. However, acording to Amazon, it is aimed at children age 4 to 6. According to my local library catalog, it is 31 pages long, illustrated, and is intended as textbook for foreign speakers of English (part of MacMillan press' Heinemann system of guided readers). So I question its status as a "novel" as described on the page in question. It leads one to question the probable amount of exaggeration elsewhere in the page. Userfy. (On the other hand, Elizabeth Laird is a prolific author of children's books and probably deserves a Wiki page.) (Unsigned vote by Crypticfirefly (talk • contribs))
- Just I was wondering how a 31 page Beginner Level story in a series could be called a novel. On the other hand, this is his translation of that 31 page. (At least, this was accessible through the internet). His translation is about 4000 words; therefore, I believe that Kourosh has just translated a part of that book , maybe one title and then has called it a novel. Am I right? Kourosh, don’t you think that you exaggerate everything (a little bit)? (64.229.132.61 (talk • contribs))
- Delete. His few writings, if could be counted as article, are just sort of ordinary school-witings of a secondary school student, which make no contribution. Can not be taken serious even, nonsense to some extent in some instances.

- Kourosh, your weblog is just two months old. How have you been writing in your weblog since 2002? How come?
- Moreover, your claim to be "one of the most active persian Bloggers" makes no sense when you have posted only 13 entries so far.
- In the sentence "he is one of the most active Persian bloggers", there are a couple of words missing: "spammers", and "among". So, we should have: "he is one of the most active spammers among Persian bloggers".
- Warning! Do not let Kourosh Ziabari use Wikipedia for self advertising. This man is a very well known spammer (weblogs spam) among Persian bloggers. There is no need to even know Farsi; just try this google link, and see how he has posted same comments for different weblogs, same text full of self advertising and vanity. He is fake, very fake. Delete and not even Userfy. (Unsigned vote by 70.52.10.46 (talk • contribs))
[edit] A question
You are right, world's youngest journalist returns no google hits but WORLD YOUNGEST JOURNALIST RETURNS MORE THAN 4 PAGES SEARCH RESULT OF GOOGLE. OK?
How can I prove that I am the world youngest journalist? Have I the ability or the permission to link all my 1000 articles?
- Sure. ~~ N (t/c) 01:45, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- WHAT?! NO! Zoe 06:20, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Kourosh, the problem is not that people don't believe you are the youngest journalist. The problem is that Wikipedia has a rule against writing an article about yourself. However, you can put what you wrote on your user page. -- Reinyday

- There are other young journalists, anyway. You're not all *that* young. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 10:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I have another question, all the boys and girls on this page Child prodigies are real genius and gifted talented personals, and just I am the problem? All the boys and girls on that page have unormal and special abilities and just I have not?
- The trick is, you shouldn't put yourself there. Someone else really ought to. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 10:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

- Hello again, Kourosh. Excuse me if I am curt, but I would not classify writing some web-logs as qualifying you as a prodigy. It is great to start typing something of value, but thousands upon thousands of people do it. Perhaps if you truly had written columns for the New York Times and the Washington Post, as you claimed elsewhere, you would have had our attention, already. IINAG 13:24, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

If you link to your articles, it would prove your claim. That's easy!
- Comment: Kourosh should consider entering the International Wikinews Writing Contest and make a point of filing his reports in English.
