[edit] Dixie Randock
This appears to be a self-promotional CV for a real estate agent who is marketing a line of training courses. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 00:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as ad. (nominator's vote) TenOfAllTrades(talk) 00:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm...reading the other comments about her running diploma mills almost makes me want to keep an NPOV treatment of her career as an object lesson in the dangers of self-promotion on Wikipedia...almost. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 05:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Per Jimbo's remarks below, it seems she isn't even possibly noteworthy for a relationship with diploma mills. My delete as non-notable self-promotion stands.TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:55, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Vanity article by a woman who allegedly runs diploma mills, and has already made legal threats against another Wikipedia editor. Rhobite 04:24, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
Keep a NPOV version of her biography, or merge it with Saint Regis University, the diploma mill she runs. This and its various allied "universities" appear rather notorious in this business and get several hits on news sites in connection with fake degree scandals. As we have articles on several of these interconnected Liberia-registered diploma mills, I find it completely reasonable to have articles on the people who actually run the scam. (If this exposes Wikipedia to the risk of being sued, I suggest we should let Jimbo take a decision on whether this is a significant enough risk to desist from writing about her.) Tupsharru 06:42, 28 July 2005 (UTC)- Delete based on comment by Jimbo Wales below. Tupsharru 11:55, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Running a diploma mill isn't much of a personal accomplishment. The diploma mill might be worth an article, but not the proprietor. --Calton | Talk 06:47, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
I am not an expert on this, but as I understand it, these diploma mills are rather ephemeral entities; as soon as one name gets too compromised, the business moves over to another one. They also work in fake "networks", complete with their own accreditation organizations, as a way of falsely reinforcing the image of respectability they strive to maintain. If anything, I would suggest an article on the proprietors is more motivated, whenever they may be identified, and we should have the various diploma mills and other scams they have been running merged and redirected to the biography. That would have the additional advantage of making monitoring for POV edits easier. Tupsharru 07:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect to Diploma mill. This is a vanity page. It should not be here but if the creator wants to have a page, it should redirect to a page that seems to fit what she allegedly does. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:14, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - It appears to me that this person is a victim of mistaken identity. She has offered to send a copy of the settlement of the lawsuit, which she says acknowledges that her being named in it was an error: "As far as I can tell my name appeared in a domain registration a few years ago, of which I had no ownership. I owned a web hosting company and I believe that at one time an employee used my credit card to register a customer's domain. The information was corrected (about a week later) but ever since my name appeared on a domain I do not own I have been harassed, stalked, defamed and even threatened by certain misinformed individuals." I think based on this that she's clearly a victim of circumstances, and otherwise non-notable but respectable person. --Jimbo Wales 11:19, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sexiest Canadian
This appears to be a hoax article (also POV and possibly original reasarch too)- while various radio stations and award ceremonies have awarded a "Sexiest Canadian" title, the Government hasn't. A google search suggests that Shane Kippel has never won the title [1] - if they had won it as often as claimed there would be at least one google hit about it. Thryduulf 00:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete: Postings about the glories of posters are, IMO, inherently ephemeral. Were he to have a real world effect, or, as I keep saying, be referred to in contexts other than participants, then he would be needing a biography.

[edit] Lizardpunk

[edit] Anarchism (disambiguation)
- For other related VFD discussions, see:
The guideline says "Disambiguation pages serve a single purpose: To let the reader choose between different pages that might reside under the same title." [2] It does not serve that purpose. This article is a POV fork being used to exclude certain anarchist philosophies (in particular, anarcho-capitalism) from the Anarchism article.

- Delete RJII 18:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC) (originator of vote)
- Keep It does serve that purpose, that is why Nat Krause (who is sympathetic to anarcho-capitalism) originally created it and that is the form it has currently. RJ simply wants it removed because it goes against his plans to have the anarchism article overemphasize anarcho-capitalism. Kev 19:11, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- Note: this is coming from a guy who deletes all mention of anarcho-capitalism from Anarchism [3]. RJII has never wanted anarcho-capitalism "overemphasized" but described briefly in Anarchism along with the other philosophies that oppose the existence of a state. Kevehs keeps putting up a header on the Anarchism article saying that the article is going to be POV (that is, it's only going to include anti-capitalist anarchist philosophies. Putting up such a header doesn't release an article from the NPOV rule.) RJII 19:16, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- Here is the header he's putting up: ":This article illustrates anarchism as it refers to philosophies and social movements that oppose hierarchy in all forms, such as the state and capitalism. There are other philosophies and movements that call themselves anarchist but differ from the definition given here. For other uses such as these, see anarchism (disambiguation). This is clearly not a legitimate disambiguation but an anti-capitalist POV attempt to monopolize the word "Anarchism." An NPOV article would not make such judgement calls on what anti-state philosophy is or is not anarchism. RJII 19:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- The article does not make any judgement call on what is or is not anarchism. The disambiguation header explains that this is one usage of the term, and that other political philosophies use the term different, and that those other uses can be found on the disambiguation page. As for removing the AC section, there isn't any point for it once the article has been disambigated, because AC philosophy is no longer being described in it. I'm happy to put a reduced version of that section back, as Nat Krause agreed, if that was the limit of AC referance on the page. And I don't know what you want RJ, but you are in fact overemphasizing capitalism in the general article by including AC counterpoints and perspective throughout. Kev 19:29, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- It's not a disambiguation article. It does not serve the purpose of letting "the reader choose between different pages that might reside under the same title." The title of the article says it's disambiguation, but it's not, at least not in accordance with guidelines. Also, therefore, there should be no link to it. I also helped create the so-called disambiguation page and supported it, but have come to the realization that its improper. The logic behind the guidline becomes clear when one sees what it's being used for, by anti-capitalist POV individuals such as Kevehs. The guideline is there for a reason and now we can cleary see what that reason is. The article is clearly inconsistent with Wikipedia guidlines and should be deleted. RJII 19:34, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- Kinda funny how you never noticed that when Hogeye was shoving his POV into it, ah well. Anyway, but this article does "let the reader choose between different pages that might reside under the same title." It clearly directs the reader to both the anarchism page (under the anti-capitalist meaning which is far more predominate), and the anarcho-capitalism page (under the AC meaning). So, if you don't think this is directing the reader as described above, what exactly would? Kev 19:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- You don't understand that guideline or are being purposely obtuse. It's saying that if there are other things that are called "Anarchism" then there can be a disambiguation page to direct people to those other meanings. For example, such a page would let the reader choose between "mutualism" the economic theory, or "mutualism" the biological phenomenon. "Anarcho-capitalism" is not another meaning of "anarchism." It's a TYPE of anarchism. Anarcha-feminism is not another meaning of "anarchism." It's a type of anarchism. Anarcho-primitivism is not another meaning of anarchism. It's a TYPE of anarchism. RJII 19:55, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- I'm already aware of that, and that is precisely the point of the page. It is there to refer not to anarcho-capitalism as another meaning of anarchism, but to the meaning of anarchism that anarcho-capitalists use. It is clear that they use a different meaning, because they feel anarchism entails things that none of the other anarchists do. Further, the standard anarchism definition has not been allowed to be used in the anarchism article because of objections solely coming from anarcho-capitalists, which again arise from the fact that they use the word anarchism to mean something else. And that is exactly what the disambiguation page makes clear right now, it shows both meanings and links to the articles that use them. Now perhaps you are suggesting that there should be a specific anarchism (capitalist) article to deal with their different understanding of anarchism. That is fine, then it should link to the disambiguation page and then provide links to the AC article from there. But either way is fine with me. Kev 21:21, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Wasn't this (more or less) what Hogeye was fighting for earlier? I see RJ's points in that this isn't really a classic "disambiguation" case where there are two completely different meanings or contexts of a word; it would be nice if everybody could agree on one "broad tent" that could fairly encompass all the varieties of anarchism, capitalist and socialist alike. But it doesn't look like that is ever happening, and I, for one, have no desire for eternal edit wars. A disambig page, and sub-pages giving the definitions of anarchism as seen by the disparate movements that use the word, is the best that can be hoped for. Let's all at least agree on this, and then work to "tweak" all the pages into a state that fairly presents their subject matter. *Dan* 00:51, July 16, 2005 (UTC)On second thought, Delete... the latest edits to Anarchism have removed the need for this, so we should probably stick with that instead. *Dan* 01:24, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Delete article or Delete all but links does not serve function. POV mess. Amicuspublilius 22:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Either: delete disambig page and merge the anarchism articles, or move current anarchism article to "Anarchism (anti-capitalist)" or some such. --Trovatore 05:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)- Above vote was made before I found the section on anarcho-capitalism in the main anarchism article. That strikes me as reasonably satisfactory. The problematic thing, then, is that the link to the main anarchism article on the dab page reads "Anarchism (anti-capitalist)", when in fact it points to an article that is not entirely about anti-capitalist anarchism. That, plus the fact that the {{Anarchism}} template doesn't mention anarcho-capitalism. But if the main article points to the anarcho-capitalism article, we don't need the dab page. So: delete the dab page, and add anarcho-capitalism to the {{Anarchism}} template. --Trovatore 06:13, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep The anarchism article and template change many times a day. The usefulness of a disambiguation page depends on the temporary state of the main article. In some configurations, the disambiguation page is the main article (Hogeye's suggestion.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.15.54.56 (talk • contribs) 00:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- You could always make some other kind of page but not fraudulently present it as a disambiguation page, like this one does. RJII 06:13, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete -- there is a lot more in the supposed disambiguation page than disambiguation; there is no ambiguity between these two, Anarchism means anarchism per the manifesto, or more generally as supporting abolishment of all forms of government; there is a reason the word Anarcho-capitalist is used, the very use of that word implies a difference from Anarchism, and that it is not what users will be looking for when they want Anarchism: let Anarchism briefly explain the distinction and link to Anarcho-capitalism --Mysidia 02:48, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, agree with Mysidia. This page only serves to create ambiguity. --bainer (talk) 05:49, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. After reading the current version of Anarchism, this disambiguation page seems entirely unnecessary. There's a section that describes anarcho-capitalism briefly and links to it in the schools of thought section. I don't see what purpose this page serves other than to game the NPOV rules to support someone's agenda. It'd be a bit like saying that you can't give the skeptical response to paranormal phenomenon or CAM in their articles, but instead must have a disambiguation page for each of them. --FreelanceWizard 06:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Edit to comply with disambiguation standards We don't delete disambig pages, do we? This page needs to be edited severely to include links to all articles that might be expected to appear under the title Anarchism, but not deleted. I agree with the spirit of the delete votes, but there absolutely must be a page with this title, just not this page in its present form. Pedant 20:05, 2005 July 28 (UTC)

[edit] TheBetween
no assertion of meeting WP:MUSIC. Delete Friday 01:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Thousands of Google hits, but they are mostly misspellings (i.e. missed-out spaces). No presence on allmusic.com either with or without a space. Their latest recording only produced 150 copies and appears to be self-sold (you pay by Paypal), so they don't meet that bit of WP:MUSIC. However, they have a busy-looking schedule on their website [4], but all those are within Ontario. WP:MUSIC wants a national tour. However, their upcoming performances include Turkey. No detail is given, so it is not possible to tell if this is just a performance in a friend's bar out there. -Splash 01:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Speedy deleted by me. Not a sentence = not an article. The band may or may not become worthy soon, but deletion is not an assessment of the value of the subject, just of the article. At present, the band is unsigned, so there wasn't really a need to list on RfE, but the article was a phrase without a verb. That's criterion #1, inter al. Geogre 15:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Wrong. If the article is bad, then it should be fixed; deletion is ENTIRELY a judgment on the worthiness of the subject to have an article rather than the worth of the article itself as it exists at that time. Kurt Weber 18:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TNA Sacrifice
Wikipedia is not a playbill, and besides, after two weeks, this article will be dead in the water. Denni☯ 01:37, 2005 July 28 (UTC)
- Question: what did the discussion about cricket matches decide? -Splash 02:05, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep In two weeks this will become a full-fledged article about a pay-per-view that has occured, much in the same way as Destination X, Slammiversary, No Surrender, TNA Turning Point, WrestleMania and its twenty-one individual event wiki articles, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, WWE Judgement Day, WWE No Way Out, StarrCade, WWE The Great American Bash, WWE Backlash, WWE Vengeance, WWE Survivor Series, and every other similar article. --Kitch 11:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It won't be "dead in the water", it'll be a valuable reference for those who want a comprehensive account of the event. McPhail 12:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Kitch Youngamerican 14:03, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep contains a start for a potentially informative article, after the event. Uber nemo 14:22, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: First, are you folks dipping into the forbidden cookies? "In the future" is not an argument about the article one way or another. In the future, it will be the future. At present, it's advertising, and, in case no one has read the deletion guidelines lately, that's a no-no. Secondly, if we do play that game and think of the future, this will be an article about a single iteration of an ongoing event -- a single wrastlin' happening. Only those with some significance, some impact, some effect on contexts other than fan delight are requiring an encyclopedia article. I surely wish folks would pay attention to the deletion guidelines every once in a while and not vote "keep" on anything that happens to square with their hobby. Geogre 15:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- So by your logic, everything after 2005 in Category:Films by year has no right to exist until the day it is released, because until then it is nothing but shameless advertising. McPhail 17:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- If it doesn't exist, the article is speculation, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If it is not merely speculation, but hype, then it is advertising, so yes. What on earth is anyone doing thinking that there should be an encyclopedia discussion of something that doesn't even exist yet? Geogre 19:28, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- My take: in the case of a film, it should have be decided on a case-by-case basis, but very few films should have articles about them before they are released. If a film were a) so important that it was being written about in mainstream newspapers in the news section, and b) the article stuck to verifiable facts about the state of the film at the time of writing. For example, if someone discovered a print of the famous lost 1926 movie version of The Great Gatsby, and it was in the process of being restored, that would deserve an article describing the circumstances of its discovery and its restoration. On the other hand, there is no reason in the world why we need an article on The Dukes of Hazzard prior to its release and review. Until then, fans can sate their curiosity at imdb or the studio's website. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news medium. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:53, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, wikipedia articles are not about future events. After the event happens or does not happen, it might be suitable for an article but at this point it's an advertisement. Pedant 20:10, 2005 July 28 (UTC)
- Should articles on Olympics, elections, etc. also be deleted? Is there a codified answer to this problem? (note, I am not asking sarcastcally, I am just curious about a precedent that may exist that I am not familiar with.) Youngamerican 20:22, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Take a look at WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. There are areas of consensus and areas of controversy. A particular problem, to my way of thinking, is the use of Wikipedia to promote an upcoming event and create "buzz." Dpbsmith (talk) 00:53, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- That link states that "future events...are not suitable topics for articles, unless...planning or preparation for the event is already in progress and the preparation itself merits encyclopedic inclusion". The event is definitely in the process of being planned and prepared, and it's an event that thousands of people will watch, so I'd argue it warrants inclusion. McPhail 15:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Marine Team 6
As far as I know, no such naming system exists for Marine units (Google for "Marine Team 6" dredges up exactly 3 results. The author may be confused with Navy SEAL teams (who do have a numbered naming system), but it's more likely pure fantasy. Borderline speedy, in my opinion. Fernando Rizo T/C 01:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete wikipedia readers do not have appropriate clearance. We don't have information on the secret orange epoxy undercoating used on US Naval submarines, and we shouldn't have information on secret special forces teams. When it becomes public knowlege, it might be suitable to write an article with unclassified material in it. At least that article will actually have information. I think it's pretty darn important that encyclopedia articles have information in them, don't you? Pedant 20:17, 2005 July 28 (UTC)
- IDIOTS! YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS,AN ENCYCLOPEDIA IS FOR FINDING THINGS EVEN IF THE ARTICLE DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF INFO. MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST DELETE ALL THE SMALL ARTICLES ON THIS SITE!!JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT FIND IT ON GOOGLE DOESN'T MEAN ITS NOT REAL ALMOST LIKE IF YOU CANT FIND IT ON WIKIPEDIA IT DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT REAL THIS ARTICLE SHOULD STAY AND BE UPDATED OVER TIME.THE REASON I CREATED THE PAGE ON MARINE TEAM 6 IS BECAUSE A FAMILY MEMBER OF MINE IS IN IT!!!IT IS A BRAND NEW UNIT WITH HIGHLY SPECIALIZED OPERATORS.MAYBE YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER??THANKS AGAIN
- Calling us names doesn't help your case. Wikipedia's function is to present publicly verifiable information. It's true that the verification doesn't have to be online. If you can provide some document we can reference to verify this exists, let us know. If it's all secret, perhaps you should reconsider whether you want to be responsible for announcing its existence. —Wahoofive (talk) 23:26, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable neologism. Only 51 displayed hits, and most are just coincidental pairings of the two words. Of the few hits that are this usage, almost all are from a blurb about the book Sleeping with the Dictionary.[5] Niteowlneils 02:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The original version was an advertisement, and as Niteowlneils (whose name is really awkward to type) points out, what's left is a neologism at best. Joyous (talk) 02:59, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete from Wikipedia. If this is a valid archaism, then it can be in Wiktionary (although I don't know how they are on the subject of being an historical dictionary; it would be cool if they were, but I don't know that they are). Lexicography rather than encyclopedism. Geogre 15:38, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Expansion: I should be clear that I'm in favor of Transwiki to Wiktionary, if Wiktionary has archaisms. About a year ago, Wiktionary was getting overrun with VfD transwiki-ing things they already had, and they didn't have a deletion mechanism like VfD. Since then, I've been cautious to vote transwiki without serious cause. Geogre 19:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Transwiki to Wiktionary. I have encourtered this term several times in historical novels. I think it was used in Shogun for example. I have also encountered the varient sleeping dictionary with the same meaning. DES 16:01, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Are you thinking about Pillow book maybe? Pedant
- no, a pillow book is a diary. pillows in say heian japan were made of wood and included a drawer-like hole-with-lid--you kept your diary in your pillow. the term's probably famous because of sei shonagon and the peter greenaway movie. a pillow dictionary is different, more opium war-era and after, i think.

- Delete. Non-notable neologism. Sure the concept exists, but so does "that awkward moment when two teenagers want to kiss each other but neither wants to initiate it", and that doesn't have (or need) a word or Wikipedia entry to discribe it.Decapod73 08:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- Smerge and redirect. I'm glad to see "smerge" is catching on. I guess I can start thinking about not linking it anymore. Oh, and in this case Smerge with a capital "S"; she already has a solid paragraph there, and I think little (if anything) else needs to be added. If there's such a think as a G-list celebrity it is people such as this. -R. fiend 23:07, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Your opinion that she is a "G-list celebrity" is irrelevant. She has 17,600 google hits. Other ex-Real World cast embers have many fewer, so she is even notable for a Real World cast member, which IMO is notable enough for inclusion by itself. Eliot 23:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- It's a term I made up and started using on VfD's a little while ago. This is the first time I've seen someone else use it, so I assumed it was catching on a bit. Still a bit early though. It means "slight merge" more here. (Not much more really.) -R. fiend 23:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: I agree with you about precedent and consistency, and I'd have pointed to the same thing: We ended up merging those contestants to X-X-Idol-Season-1 and Big-Brother-Season-X. I.e. the contestants weren't allowed to spin-off into the distance with stand alone, would-be biographies, but were largely merged into cast lists and season lists, except for those contestants who managed to do something or be something that got them attention outside of the show. The winners got articles, therefore (because they got record contracts), and any who got arrested or wagged their weenies at Paula Abdul, etc. Geogre 23:48, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. The article clearly mentions her activities outside of the season of Real World she debuted on. Eliot 23:54, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- These are 1) Posed in Playboy at some point (when? is it out now? is it just posing, but not appearing yet) and 2) is going to be on a show on E! that has not been shown yet. Now, again, if there were no MTV reality show mentioned in the article, how would this be an article? "A person who posed for Playboy and who filmed a show that has not aired yet" would not be an article; i.e. the proper place for discussion is the Real World article. Geogre 04:13, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Appears to be a hoax. "raphael yadgaroff" yields 6 Google hits, one of them being my user page, where I've had this listed as an article to clean up. Tagged with {{cleanup-importance}} since June 22; only edits since have been vandalism and the reversion of it.

- Move to List of Notable Nigerians. RJFJR 16:32, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Strong keep. The intro clearly states that it is a list of prominent Nigerian people. Actually, very few lists of people have a "famous" or "notable" qualification attatched to their title. It seems to be understood that lists of this type include "notable" people only, since there are Wikipedia articles on them. We have List of physicians, List of chefs and List of stand-up comedians and very few people seem to interpret those as attempts at listing all the physicians, chefs and stand-up comedians in the world - or calling it "professioncruft" or something similar. Why treat Nigerians differently? Generally, it seems to me as if most lists of people on wikipedia naturally adjust the notability bar in accordance with the size of the group the selection comes from. If this article lists Nigerians of some international fame, it can easily co-exist with a longer List of Nigerian footballers with footballers that are notable on a national level. / Alarm 17:49, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- At the time of nomination there was no intro that stated that it was a list of prominent Nigerians. Now that the page has developed into something more than a single non-wikified name I'm willing to change my vote to keep as well. Hansonc 22:32, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
Keep perfectly legitimate article, we already have several lists of people by nationality, should split it only if it exceeds recommended size. PatGallacher 18:00, 2005 July 28 (UTC)
Comment: to clarify, if I'd had the chance to vote on list of Alaskans, list of Chicagoans, or list of Martians, I would have voted delete on them too. They're just not encyclopedia articles; they're phone book pages, without any data, and they'll never be accurate because they won't be complete. WP is NOT a trivia game or a directory. IOW, the reasoning that there are other articles like this doesn't persuade me. DavidH 18:38, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

- Categories, people, this is what categories are for. Still, I think we need to treat this as a matter of policy rather than deletion, so we can implement the same policy (be it lists, categories, or both) across the board without the "it isn't being done with X so we can't do it with Y" arguments. I'll go with delete, and replace with Category:Nigerians, though I suspect the latter part's been done already. -R. fiend 23:12, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- It's impossible to replace lists like this with categories. Kappa 23:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete: Totally impossible list. The introduction might say it's of "notable" Nigerians, but the title says it's not. There are more Nigerians being born every day, and, of course, every Nigerian since the creation of the state has to be listed. There is no List of Americans or List of Britons, and there must not be. Further, one cannot argue from one wrong (a silly list of Springfield Missourians) to excuse another. Geogre 04:17, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- There is actually a List of English people, as well as lists of people by U.S. state, despite the fact that there are more Englishmen and Californians born every day as well. I would be very interested to know if anyone has argued for their deletion with the arguments used here. / Alarm 10:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- So if pepole are really going to expect every single Nigerian person ever born to be included on that list, why can't it simply be renamed? Kappa 04:30, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- To Geogre and Kappa, as well as Skysmith and RJFJR above: There is actually a clearly stated official policy that the list article's title should not include "notable" or something similar. Naming conventions#Lists says "Put a list of Xs as list of Xs, rather than Xs, famous Xs, listing of important Xs, list of noted Xs, list of all Xs, etc." Lists (stand-alone lists)#Naming conventions goes on to specifically mention lists of people by nationality (obviously not such a strange concept to those involved in writing the naming policy), saying "People are either list of Finns or list of French people, preferring List of _ people". Any concerns about this probably ought to be discussed over at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions, rather than here. / Alarm 10:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Delete - It is far to broad to maintain. Specific categories (not lists) should be, and are used. This is just a waste. Categories are visible to article viewers, and will be updated. A list like this will never be complete or maintained. --rob 09:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)- Comment: There are several pros with a list, which have been mentioned in other discussions. Most inportantly, it can contain red links to notable people who haven't got articles yet. This can actually stimulate the growth of Wikipedia and, in this specific case, possibly help counter systemic bias. Another argument is that it helps navigation. Since categories contain subcategories, a top-level list with the most notable names provides a good general overview. Clicking your way from Category:Nigerian people through Category:Nigerian people by occupation and Category:Nigerian sportspeople down to Category:Nigerian footballers to find Jay-Jay Okocha isn't all that convenient. / Alarm 10:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The "red links" become a problem when there are many poorly maintained, redundant lists, each with conflicting name spellings (especially non-English names). It's easy for a newbie/novice to create an article with the same name on such a list, without realizing it's not the same person. That's less likely to happen with a stub. These "red links" are bad way that people by-pass vfd process for non-notables. A non-notable person can get on such a list much easier than they could get an article, causing a problem later with a notable person with the same name comes along. Anyhow, I've now realized my problem is with wikipedia's list policy, and not specific to the Nigeria list. --rob 18:32, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- Keep of course. There are over a hundred articles in category:lists of people by nationality. I can't believe some people are voting to delete this one. Categories do not replace lists. This one could probably do with lots of red links. I dare say there are politicians in Nigeria who rule over millions of people about whom we do not have an article, while we have thousands of articles about relative nonentities from the U.S., U.K. etc. CalJW 15:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep -- Longhair | Talk 23:47, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- A Massive Keep. As John Barleycorn has mentioned it is a necessary component link from List of people by nationality, one of the six major links from the Biography Portal. List of Nigerians was only recently switched blue and so it is perfectly fair to expect it to be pretty stumpy at the moment. Furthermore, Kappa and CalJW are entirely right to point out that lists peform a different function to categories: the use of tags can be invaluable in locating the relevant person quickly. Also List of people by nationality refers to different peoples by the appropriate adjectival form and not just, e.g., United States people. Anadine 11:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

- In the history, it was merged and redirected, then someone added this text on a later date. It's kind of dumb to retain it, even as a redirect. Just my opinion, though.
- If it has been merged, we must keep a redirect (or a disambiguation when appropriate) containing the history in order to remain compliant with the GFDL, requiring authorship to be attributed. Sorry, I don't know which article this was merged with, but we should redirect to that article. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orchestra (Linux software)
I can't find any verification of this anywhere. It sounds like original research. The closest links I can find are Orchestra on SourceForge, which is a system for doing musical composition, and Enea Orchestra, which is an embedded Linux environment. Neither of these seem to be what this program is, so unless someone can figure out what exactly this software is, I think the article should be deleted as non-notable, unverifiable, and probably original research.

- Should Windows Vista and Windows Blackcomb be deleted, then? I'm not clear where this objection is coming from. Lupin 15:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. After reading the SymphonyOS web site, a few things are now clear to me. First is that Orchestra is functionally equivalent to Microsoft's HTML Applications (now essentially dead); it uses an HTTP server to render the interface of what amounts to a CGI script, then displays it in a modified version of Gecko. Second is that it's nowhere near done, as evidenced by the lack of development documentation. Finally, the entire distribution is basically a Knoppix clone otherwise. It's not clear to me that this is a notable advance in computer science or even in Linux application design (any random Linux sysop can use Mozilla to render CGI apps hosted on a local computer),
so I stand by my nomination.I think that the future versions of Windows are all but guaranteed to come out (Vista is approaching beta) and are highly notable besides, so it's not exactly predicting the future to talk about them.

[edit] Plastic taiwan
Advertisement. Non-notable. [6] Barfooz (talk) 02:54, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I can't tell what this article is about. Unless someone clarifies it so it makes sense, delete. Kelly Martin 23:21, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
- We can quite happily delete Plastic Taiwan and it will still be here, like that german coin that looks like a nickel that keeps showing up in your pocket or change purse. Its about viral marketing of their own music. A paper flower without artifice, since its already inside your brain, and will come back to haunt you, it doesn't need to be kept here. Even without a mention on Wikipedia, Thick Shoe and Plastic Taiwan will remain as notable as they are, so no harm will be done by deleting their poster, which will show up in a different context and mean another different thing. Next time it will mean "these bricks cannot be resold as used bricks without removing the wheat paste" or "These shoes have been resoled without reference to the ordinary every day". Does that explain it? Well I tried. Pedant 22:20, 2005 July 28 (UTC)

- It was put on VfD: [8]
but I suspect the blanking of it may have removed it from being visible on VfD. EvilPhoenix talk 00:36, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Surprisingly, this doesn't appear to be copyvio. I've done some googling and can't find anything like it, though it is notable, perhaps, that the [page for this show] links into this page as information on its history. If the history is verifiable, though, this seems to be a show with a long history and might be considered notable especially given the set of programs not on vfd at category:radio programs (2 Sense especially comes to mind) and category:radio programme stubs. If Opie and Anthony on XM manage to land a spot there, a program on a major radio station in a city like Orlando would seem equally notable. While XM may have national coverage, its subscriber base isn't exactly massive. I personally don't feel that the criteria for non-notable has been met, but I'm not exactly convinced on the matter. --FreelanceWizard 06:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. This show has a solid history and strong affiliations with legendary broadcast institutions such as WJFK FM, a heritage radio station in a top 10 radio market. This show is referenced repeatedly on shows like Ron and Fez, lending it further credibility. For the record, I am not a host or staff member on this show nor do I work for the radio station they are on or any other station they have graced. I am a follower of their careers however and this page should remain.

Besides, other radio shows have articles; this one's heard online and has callers from across the US (particularly DC, Texas, and Michigan), so where does 'local' radio become 'national' radio?

- Keep. Why are people saying "Wikipedia is not a commercial, for-profit advertisement service."? This is in no way a commmercial or for-profit website. The people running the website have no particular interest in getting more people to the site since virtually every law student at a big school is aware of it already. A ton of far less notable sites have unchallenged wikipedia entries because they deal with computer- or technology-related topics that wikipedia editors are typically more interested in. I have no affiliation with the site and thus no "vanity" interest - I'm just saying that this site is definitely well-known among a large group of people and is thus undoubtedly encyclopedic.
- comment If Brian Leiter's Philosophy Gourmet deserves a page, this site surely deserves a page. The list of posters is a quick reference for posters new to the board who have trouble with the way the board works. Unlike other message boards, there are no avatars, no personal pages, no sigs, no images, nothing. It is helpful to have a place to find basic information about the most influential people on the board. As someone who has been using Xoxohth for most of its existence, I recognize many on the list of prolific posters. I would hardly expect this to be the case with new posters. The acronyms section is also indispensable to users who are new to the board. Otherwise, there's a steep learning curve to properly use and understand the board. 208.63.200.3 02:58, 2 August 2005 (UTC) (Graham Wellington, QC [as above])
- Keep. This website is an extremely valuable source of information for those either going to law school or thinking about going to law school. This website is starting to be mentioned by scholars (Posner, Leiter) and has been mentioned by the Dean of Admissions at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. This website is growing and more people will be looking for information on it.
- Very strong keep. This website is becoming a more and more important source of information to law students and even to admissions committees of law schools. As a result, people outside of XOXOHTH have begun taking notice of this site. The Dean of Admissions at the University of Pennsylvania Law School has mentioned XOXO, as have legal scholars such as Brian Leiter. The relevance of this website is continually growing, and soon each of the 100,000+ prospective law students per year want to learn more about XOXO.

- I suspect that notability is moot, and that this subject is simply too secret for Wikipedia. Reading in between the lines of the nomination by Johnvernon (talk • contribs) and taking into account that user's earlier edits to this article and the repeated mentions of a "private collection", my suspicion is that this article is derived, possibly in toto, from unpublished sources, namely the private papers of a royal servant, held by his family, or an unpublished biography written by a family member. So we have a very serious verifiability problem here. I've looked around for other sources, but cannot find this person mentioned anywhere. (The only person that I can find is a William Gardener who was an Admiral's Steward.) It seems that the famous U.K. tradition of royal servants keeping their mouths shut and staying out of the limelight has been upheld and upheld well in this case. The article is well written and laid out (I encourage User:Johnvernon to make other contributions to Wikipedia, on subjects where sources can be cited, if they will be like this.) and it is a shame to have to have to vote this way. Delete, unless sources are cited. Uncle G 16:09:38, 2005-07-28 (UTC)
- Delete not notable. Dunc|☺ 16:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator's request.Gateman1997 17:10, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete given borderline notability and author's request. However, as a genealogist myself, I can say that Uncle G's comment that the information is "too secret" is not really the case. Even if it was taken from private records, almost all of the information (births, marriages, deaths, residences, etc...) for the periods covered in the article is of a type that is readily available in public records to anyone with access to a major genealogical collection - which includes almost anyone within driving distance of a major metropolitan area. Also, as to the author's assertion that a copyright of a 100+ year old photograph belongs to a "private collection", that is also incorrect. The fact that someone claims a copyright to a work that is clearly in the public domain due to its age should not cause us any concern. DS1953 23:20, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete (although not for the nominator's reasons, which are irrelevant to Wikipedia). There's no evidence of this person being notable. Wikipedia is not a collection of geneological entries. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:38, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

Delete - not notable. The author has created several articles on churches with no established notability and most containing no substantive information other than geographic location and the fact that the church is growing. In the time it's taken me to put all the vfd tags on all these pages, Sarcelles has added 4 more of these articles. Bubamara 10:25, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I'd like to see some of these nominations broken up; Jesus Family is supposedly a church with 100,000 members, which sounds notable to me. Some of the other articles could conceivably be merged with articles on the specific ethnic group under the heading of "Religion". Granted, the articles as they currently stand are pretty pathetic, but most are viable stubs. Sarcelles should be encouraged to write more in each article rather than spitting out 10 stubs a day, however. --BaronLarf 14:10, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Not quite that clear-cut. If these were individual churches, I'd say delete, but they're actually church groups; generally missionary-type work targetted to specific minorities. Here's my vote, along with a reference verifying at least the eistence of the ones I feel should be kept:
- Delete: Tujia Church, Parauk churches, Manchu churches, Hani churches, Bai Church, Tulang Church, Wa Churches
- Keep: Rawang churches [10], Mien churches [11], Lahu churches [12], Jesus Family [13]
- Keep and Move: Northern Zhuang churches to Zhuang churches [14], Lisu Church to Lisu churches [15], Dai Churches to Dai churches, [16], Korean churches to Catholocism in Korea (obviously there are Korean churches), Achang church to Achang churches [17], Akha Church to Akha churches [18]

In the absence of the presentation of any evidence of non-notability for any of them, I say Keep All. Please count a keep vote from me in each case. And lets not bother with the "google test" please. If these groups exist, and no one has so suggested that they don't, the articles should be treated in the same way as articles about comparable groups in the United States.

- Comments At least in the general articles (EG Korean churches and Vietnamese churches), "church" is a poor choice of words if it is meant to cover all houses of worship, and arguably POV if only Christian churches are to be included; and they don't have any content not obvious from the title. Other than Jesus Family, most could probably be deleted for lack of encyclopedic content, but I'd certainly rather see most merged/redired than kept. Niteowlneils 01:41, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Also, without specifics, "growing" isn't very meaningful, and in at least some cases probably has verifiability issues, as do some of the location citations. Not much other content in most of the articles. Niteowlneils 01:50, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep. There are articles for even less notable webcomics than this one. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:45, 28 July 2005 (UTC)- Could you give me a list so I can check them against the Wikiproject Webcomics criteria and list those that fail for deletion? --Carnildo 21:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. I stand corrected. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the imput. For a bit of "explantion" the site is only 6 months old. JesusMan has been published in several alternative and undergroung magazines in MA, on and odd since 1987. Myself and Hex have begun the series anew on the net. It will have 100 pages by the end of the year. Your choice, again I was shocked when a fan pointed out that Rubbersuit Studios was listed here, so I just took the next step. Thanks again for the intro for this WikiNoob. 22:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC) Malach
- Question would it be within Wiki's webcomic guidlines to list Stool Sample Webcomics, which is a subdirectory of [[Rubbersuit Studios], which contains 6+ original webcomics and is close to 100 pages? I would list it as Stool Sample WebComics, and a description of each title 15:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)~ Malach
- I'd suggest waiting. Once your comics become popular enough, someone, probably a fan, will get around to writing up a Wikipedia article for it. --Carnildo 18:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Carnildo, that is the main issue I have. I am not the one who put Rubbersuit Studios in Wiki. A fan pointed it out to me that someone had added it here. I thought it would be the next logical step to add JesusMan. JesusMan does not have a ton of fans from the web site but it was very popular in hard print. Anyways thanks again for the critcism. Malach 20:52, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

This seems more like censorship. Perhaps the title offends some of the supporters in the delete camp. It's not profane, it's not copywritten, and it was submitted by an outside party.

Obviously, I am biased, but I vote not to delete. In terms of google hits, the site has been up since Feb and has recieved more than 250 google hits. It is also averaging 25,000 hits per week. 16:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC) Malach

- Keep. Maybe someone needs to explain why any of the above reasons for deletion have any bearing on whether this particular article should be kept or not. It sounds very elitist to be deleting article base on Google Tests and rankings. It's not profane, copywritten or falsified. Leave it. Murk 12:00, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

They provide art lessons and tutoring, specializing in adults and children with disabilities." If someone of this nature is looking for a place that does provide these types of artisitc services, then they would have Wikipedia to credit for finding such a notable and worthy place.

you are clearly of little expertise regarding the matter of ancient Igneous rocks. I suggest you do some homework on the basics of geology before resigning one of its most noteable dignitaries to the description "non-notable".

[edit] Province of the Carolanas
This page is some kind of weird hoax/original research. Please see talk page for details. This article should be deleted since most of it is pure bunk. A brief mention of the one true thing in it (the Heath patent) should be put on Province of Carolina. This page is connected to other pages that I strongly suspect of vanity/non-notable/original research, including: Four Freedoms Federation and John Lilburne Research Institute (all of these pages were created by User:MPLX). --JW1805 18:44, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- I (MPLX) left Wikipedia some months ago after running into the onslaught of the ill-informed Christian right wing. Although I am not monitoring Wikipedia and do not have any intention of rejoining Wikipedia due to the small cabal of noisy and ill-informed (as opposed to uninformed) people who love deleting stuff, I have been pressed to add this comment due to the sudden interest in deleting a few of the articles that I contributed to. (I have written about many topics.)
- It would appear that someone has it their head to sever any ties between John Lilburne and the foundation of American law. This led to a constant barrage of negative comments on the Hugo Black article. Now I see that the idea is to claim that "Carolana" is a misspelling of "Carolina" and to go further and claim that the article about Carolana is a hoax. To this end both Dr. Kenneth Brown of the University of Houston and Dr. Eric Gilder of the University of Sibiu have also been smeared as being not noteworthy and at worst as the creators of vanity and even hoax articles. Such rants by the few lunatics who have gained a noisy control over Wikipedia are one reason why I left Wikipedia and why Wikipedia is in danger of becoming the refuge of a right-wing idiots.
- It would seem that a handful of people are trolling with the intent to delete anything that they may disagree with. I noticed the same approach was used on the subject of copyright law within articles dealing with the subject of recorded music and broadcasting which I also contributed to. Now I see that all broadcasts by 4FWS have been tagged as not worthy because they were on "pirate" radio stations - even though several were on licensed stations. However, everything is being smeared and tarnished to make it appear that everything and anything that I contributed to was either a hoax, a work of vanity or unnoteworthy. I also created the history of the development of the jet fighter, but I have not as yet (and probably won't bother) checked to see if those entries are also being targeted.
- It is unfortunate to say the least because I thought that Wikipedia had merit, but when I discovered that a mere handful of dedicated zealots could take it over and put their own stamp of ideological approval on it - I left.
- Before making more claims that Carolana never existed I would suggest that you perform a little serious research. Unfortunately the zealots have decided that they are a jack of all subjects (and master of none), and because they have never heard something before it means that the subject is either a hoax or a vanity creation by someone else. How pathetic for Wikipedia!

- If you want another vote on John Lilburne Research Institute, I vote strong delete. It's obviously vanity/original research, as is Four Freedoms Federation (if you read the rambling article, you discover they made some public-access tv appearances, and broadcast some programs on illegal and short-wave radio. I'd bet good money that this is 4 people operating out of their garage, and that one of them is MPLX).--JW1805 07:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete; not a hoax, but not well-documented enough. Incidentally, I contacted the author of one of the external links, and he assures me his information was from a local historian, not this article. MPLX is paranoid, possibly a crank, but I see no reason to doubt they acted in good faith. Lusanaherandraton 11:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
- That's interesting about the other website. I would be interested to know exactly what they said, and who this "local historian" is. Honestly, on the face of it, it seems a huge interpolation to link some graves found in Houston to Heath, who is regarded as an historical footnote who had a claim to Carolina but never tried to colonize it. The notion that he decided to plant a colony in Texas is quite a stretch, and doesn't seem to have been written about by "legitimate" historians. That's why I would consider this "original research". --JW1805 16:20, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Page of non-important Argentine club by know Hoax fan [ 200.73.180.22/contrib ]. (see:Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Rana lechuza, or his 3 meter long Blue tiger)
Even though the club exists, and played 9 matches of the Nacional 1985 Argentine championship with 2 wins and 2 ties, the results claimed in the article are not true.
Information on the Nacional 1985 can be found in a reliable source, and in the Argentina All-Time Table it can be seen that it played no other matches in first division.

[edit] Spiral dynamics
Nonencyclopedic, factual inaccuracy, original research, no references, self-promotion, pseudoscience, external link spam Pedant 19:23, 2005 July 28 (UTC) This article, written and edited by those with a self-claimed 'professional interest in the subject, simply reeks of pseudoscience, is subject to an ongoing edit war from people claiming to have a connection to the so-called theory, is not encyclopedic, and is a vanity article of sorts. Blatant promotion of a quacky theory, article as it stands is not sound or encyclopedic, and looks to be trouble all the way to the core. Apparently (from the email I received) the article is being edited by the author, co-author and opponents of the author's theories... all hanging on flimsy references, mostly references to the book that is being promoted using wikipedia as a tool.
Plus the spam:
I received the following email relating to this topic, UNSOLICITED, and with no previous attempt to contact me on my talk page:
Subject: Disputing the Factual Accuracy of a Wikipedia entry: Spiral Dynamics and Don Beck Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 17:30:28 -0700
(redacted info, contact me if you need it for some reason)
Message-Id: <005401c5930b$9136faf0$220110ac@your4f1261a8e5> Organization: Spiral Dynamics Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2627 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0055_01C592D0.E4D822F0" Importance: Normal X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X- Msmail-Priority: Normal Show Basic Headers Back To [INBOX] Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Dear Pedant, I've been browsing Wikipedia for some information and decided to take a look to see if Spiral Dynamics was being discussed. I was surprised to see that it was included in your online mentions; thus, I did a little tweaking to improve the accuracy (FYI this is a model my partner Chris Cowan, coauthor of Spiral Dynamics, and I work with - please see our web references below.) Thus, I believe we are qualified to make adjustments to the definition. The reason I am writing to you is the factual accuracy of our competitor's bio (Don Beck) and the content of the current Spiral Dynamics definition on Wikipedia. I've copied the bio below and inserted notes as to the questionable entries. Your site suggests that if 5 or more items are incorrect to insert a dispute. I have done that and the warning has been eliminated. You will find the disputed items below under "Issues" where I have itemized statements requiring fact checking. In essence, yes, we have a professional interest in this, thus disclosure applies (we are rather fierce competitors). At the same time, I feel that the reputation of this work can stand only on fact and accuracy, which is what I am seeking by contacting you. The current definition of Spiral Dynamics suffers from some inaccuracies which I attempted to fix; it was reverted to an earlier version. For example, there is no credible evidence of "the Mean Green meme" under the Pathologies section. I have reason to believe that the person making adjustments to the current entries has some interest in skewing this due to his/her affiliations. To make matters more complex, and more sensitive, we are involved in a legal dispute with our former partner, Don Beck. This matter could get quite antagonistic if it isn't handled well, which is why I am contacting you. Your description suggested I could count on your discretion in a sensitive matter. Could you please advise as to how to proceed? Kind Regards, Natasha PS. See below ... Don Beck is an American management consultant involved in the theory known as Spiral Dynamics. Issues: 1) The term "integral theory" is a marketing term designed for promotion which a number of people are attempting to legitimize and using Wikipedia to do so 2) Greater accuracy would be "coauthor of the book, Spiral Dynamics" 3) Spiral Dynamics is a trademark and refers to training, a book, and a popularization of a model of adult development (not a theory) ==Overview== Beck has elaborated upon the work of his mentor, Clare Graves, to develop a multidimensional model for understanding the transformation of human values and cultures. As cofounder of the National Values Center in Denton, Texas, and CEO of the Spiral Dynamics Group, Inc., Beck is employing the Spiral Dynamics model to effect large-scale systems change in and among various sectors and societies of the world. Issues: 1) 95% of Spiral Dynamics is derived directly from the work of Clare W. Graves; there is no elaboration to it other than some conjecture and the link to memetics - in fact, Spiral Dynamics is a popularization and simplification of the work or Graves designed to appeal to a broader market - it's a contraction rather than an expansion. 2) The non-marketing definition of this model is as a 'psycho-social developmental model' - 3) The final line has no supporting evidence other than marketing claims, a fact check is required. ==Career == Beck's consulting career has taken him to such diverse settings as 10 Downing Street to consult with Tony Blair's Policy Unit; the south side of Chicago to address the problems faced by inner-city schools; the World Bank to consider the future of Afghanistan; and the boardrooms of major banks, energy companies, airlines, and government agencies. Following 63 consulting trips to South Africa between 1981 and 1988, he wrote The Crucible: Forging South Africa's Future (1991) with Graham Linscott. Beck taught for twenty years at the University of North Texas. He served as team psychologist for The South African Springboks, winners of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, and associated with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, the Texas Rangers (baseball), and the U.S. Olympic Committee for Men's Track and Field. He writes a “sports values” column for the Dallas Morning News. He lives in Denton, Texas. Issues: 1) The first line claims that this person has consulted to the Blair government, this requires a fact check 2) The item with the south side of Chicago has not been verified 3) The World Bank item is being put across as consulting to the WB - does a single 1.5 hour presentation where he was not invited back consist of consulting? 4) Consulting to various boardrooms - there is no evidence to support this other than claims on his website - a fact check is required 5) How can a person without a degree in psychology serve as team psychologist?
(the part about consulting to the Springboks also requires a fact check) 6) Have the claims for the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Texas Rangers, and US Olympic committee for Men's Track and Field been verified - we've checked and have been unable to confirm any of these claims. 7) The "sports values" column would be accurate with the start and finish dates, which were some years ago and not very long lived. ==Bibliography== * Don Beck and Christopher Cowan, Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership, and Change, 1996 * Don Beck and Graham Linscott, The Crucible: Forging South Africa’s Future, 1991 ==External Links== * [http://www.big-picture.tv/index.php?id=12&cat=&a=17/ Free video clip of Don Beck at Big Picture TV] * [http://www.spiraldynamics.net/ Don Beck's Spiral Dynamics Integral site] * [http://www.globalvaluesnetwork.com/ Global Values Network] * [http://www.humanemergence.org/ Centre for Human Emergence] ....................................................................................

Her edits were POV, poorly written, and evinced little understanding of what Wikipedia is all about. That's why I reverted them, not for ideological reasons. I invite her to make more appropriate contributions to the article. --goethean ॐ 19:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, pseudoscience is completely legit encyclopedia material, theres a wikiproject called pseudoscience. Also it is obviously a real theory, 480,000 yahoo hits is enough to prove that. The writer of this article is an expert on the subject, but it is not the writer's theory, he just writes about it. Clare Graves seemed to have came up with the theory, but she's not writing the article. Does need NPOV editing though. Uber nemo 20:06, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

- Comment It would appear that the entire world of Template:Integral theory could use some POV policing and contextualization in order to avoid commercial promotion. Some effort should be put into finding views from outside the "Integral theory" universe to cite and then keeping vigilant over the inevitable revert wars. I wish I had the stomach for it myself.

- Keep as important element in the nascent "Integral movement", but address views and disputes of both factions (Beck and Cowan) in NPOV manner M Alan Kazlev 05:43, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep – no valid reasons given for deletion. Contrary PoV to an article isn't cause for removal. They should contribute to improving it, such as providing the needed references. The subject is notable and a candidate for encyclopedic coverage, even if in the current state it needs improvement. Clearly a topic with published works is not original research to Wikipedia as was charged. Nominations that bold the words so liberally should be encouraged to delay a bit to enable more cogent reasoning. (It's not the nature of a topic that renders it non-notable, it is the unpublished work of a single person or few people not widely known— not the case here) --Blainster 11:48, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MusicNovatory
I was hoping I could get a second opinion on this matter regarding edits to this page, related to edits by this IP who created this account. I have been monitoring the edits associated with this account since July 15, and of late, I have become increasingly skeptical of the intentions of this Wikipedian's edits. I have been very patient with this Wikipedian since the beginning, writing extensively in an encouraging manner how edits to Wikipedia should be made. Although I have been skeptical from the beginning, I decided to "assume good faith" and was hoping that the user would understand that his or her editing style will need to be modulated to resonably expect any of their content to remain on Wikipedia. (See the extensive disscusions on the user and article's talk pages for example.) However, recently I noticed that the exact same content was being duplicated on French Wikipedia. See for example [40]. In fact, in French Wikipedia the article was placed up for deletion, and I am inclined to feel that this should be done here as well. The site has some content that is meritable, but perhaps not encyclopedic enough to warrant an article. At the moment, the page seems only to be more geared towards promoting the content of the external site. I'd appreciate any thoughts or opinions on this VfD here. Thanks!

- delete reluctantly. I think 2 weeks of worth of ample dialogue was more than enough time for the article to be fixed up.

- So lets go and delete entries for extinct animals, old TV shows, and the deceased, because who cares, right? You say it's doomed to be forgotten, yet it keeps being brought up. It's only doomed because you guys keep deleting the articles we write over and over again. As for notability, enterthedream.net [44] hosts reviews for EOI and Penny Arcade did a legitimate crossover [45] with them. Anyway, I'm not sure where you get off deleting things for their lack of popularity- look at half the stuff you wiki. GTJoe
- Extinct animals are not forgotten. Being deceased or killed is not the reason for encyclopedia, neither for exclusion. Please stop playing word games. "We guys" request proofs of notability (i.e., reason why other people would want to read the article); e.g., a review somewhere. Please see Talk:Elf Only Inn for more discussion. mikka (t) 20:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

In this article's defense, I like to note that according to The Notability and Inclusion Guidelines, a webcomic need only comply with the Alternate Proposal to be considered acceptable. I counted weeks of comic strips, and came up with roughly 80 weeks, doing random sampling per month to ensure there weren't bouts of guest strips. That more than surpasses the 33-week requirement. I have not yet counted the number of strips in the EOF archive, but the first few months were every other day upates, the remaining months were sporatic updates; usually 3 a week. I could count 100 strips without breaking a sweat. As to the author of this article, I honestly don't know if it is Josh Sortelli or not, but I doubt he would return from hiatus to write a wiki article and not update his comic. Regardless, if there are suspicions I'll be happy to re-write it myself. Saxon 05:55, 3 August 2005 (UTC) (GTJoe, just figured out how to sign things)
- Delete. Still not a webcomic of any import. Remember, the WP:COMIC conditions are a minimum to qualify as encyclopedic. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:17, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- Fine! I give up. I've proven this comic meets the notability requirement. The author and I have both mentioned this comic won an annual webcomic category award and was nominated for another. I've provided a list of links with reviews. Since I know I've done more research than any of you and still no one's mind can be changed, I change my vote to delete. Now we just have to go through every single other webcomic on the list and delete the ones that don't fall into these lofty, unwritten standards you all have. I simply find it ridiculous this particular comic is being singled out while hordes of lesser comics and their stubs abound, so lets make sure we don't leave the purging unfinished. Saxon 07:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- The Web Cartoonist Choice awards are a joke even in the webcomic community. And, incidentally, I did put a couple of webcomics that fell below the bar on VFD just today, so, at least in my case, your veiled accusations of hypocricy ring false. If there are webcomic articles that legitimately need to be put on VFD, by all means do so. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 08:44, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

- Reads like an advert. Delete. Agentsoo 22:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- As the owner of the site, this article needs to be deleted. People who are far to cowardly to discuss their problems with the site openly have used the article to openly attack us, and the moderators here have allowed it to occur. Deletion is the only solution we can settle for at this point, my staff agrees to this point, and so do my members. If this is what the owners of Wikipedia consider "fair and balanced", I pity anybody who has to endure their services being listed here. Delete - Don McGunigale
- As a staffer on MMM, I agree that this wiki should be deleted. It was a good idea at first, and while I can perfectly respect criticism, the edits done to the article went past that. Given the choice, I`d personally try to rewrite that to reflect all sides in an unbiased manner, but ce la vie. Let the thing die and rest in peace. Delete - The Sh33p
- The so-called "Vandalisim" has actually been a desire to present a more fair and balanced point of view. However, as MMM's staff can't stand criticisim, they won't be happy unless they can control this article. So I say Delete in order to avoid furhter controversy. unsigned vote by user:202.92.76.129 -- Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 00:53, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Note that the previous unsigned user was the person who threw in the erroneous information in the first place. Note also that they have a record of vandalism. Doesn't sound like "fair and balanced" to me. I vote Delete simply so that we don't have to deal with people like that anymore. ~AA
- This computer is a part of an office network - as such there are numerous users under the one IP adress. As such, the "vandal" is just one of many users who would register under the one IP.
That being said, veiwing the article from a neutral outside viewpoint does leave me with a desire to comment. The "clean" version of the entry reads more like an andvertisment or blantant promotion then an encylcopedic entry. The "vandalised" version reads like the work of somone with a personal grudge. I would say Delete, but I would also add that the article probably shouldn't have been created in the first place. --202.92.76.129 22:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC) (But not the same one as above)
- As another user on the same network as the previous poster, I feel that its worth mentioning that someone on this IP knows a lot aobut Zoids - check the other edits by the same IP address for proof. All the other articles they've created or edited on Zoids thus far have been well done and, in my opinion, free form any bias or the like. Having no experience with "MMM" thus far and not knowing anything aobut Zoids, I can only assume that they are rather knowledgable on the subject, and that their statements on the subject in the other articles are reasonably informed. Of course, that proves nothing, as it could be the work of two differnt people, both of whom are knoledgeable on the subject (But with one of them having a considerable grudge or possibly a vaild reason for his edits to the article). At any rate, I agree that htis article is not encyclopedic in nature and more pormotional, and should be Deleted --202.92.76.129 02:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Delete for non-notability, but "weak" because I don't like what I see as being the stronger motivation behind this deletion - i.e., someone connected with this particular subject is basically not comfortable with it appearing in a wiki. I do realize this has become an unmanageable nuisance for those involved, but look at it this way: What if, say, Karl Rove decided he didn't like what people were writing about him on Wikipedia? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- We tracked the IP to a member of our forums, and from there, we tracked that name to another forum where personal grudges against our site run rampant. Just for the record. ~AA
- Delete. To put it one way, the article is not something you would find in an encyclopedia. Just because you have a personal grudge against a site doesn't mean that you should be using something akin to an encyclopedia as a soapbox for your cause. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, but it shouldn't be taken too far. -- Pkninja
- Delete. Not an encyclopedic entry; it alternatively reads like blatant propmotion or blatant whinging. Either way, it should go. --144.138.25.8 22:58, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- As the authour of the Various Zoids articles done on this IP, I do feel the need to comment here (Yes, I have no connection to the others in this IP above). I was not responsible for the "vandalisim" to the MMM article; while I have had some overly negative experiences with the MMM staff, at the same time I would not stoop to the level of defecing a Wikopedia entry on them as a measure of revenge or similar. Despite this, I must agree with the earlier comments; this article probably shouldn't have been created in the first place and should be Deleted, not for the reasonss of Vandalisim or the like, but because it simply is not encyclopedic and the original article was more likely an attempt at free promotion. I must also agree with Gyrofrog ; I feel the MMM staff are being too thin-skinned about this; they must understand that in an article like this, critcisim is a possiblity and they should not try to "control" what is said aobut them. --202.92.76.129 23:07, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
Considering that said criticism is actually completely erroneous- we have proof- and stemming from a site with a history of disliking us? Last I heard, this was a site for disseminating correct information, hrm? Don't add things that you obviously have no real knowledge in!

[edit] Eric Gilder (professor)
Vanity and/or non-notable person. This article is connected to two other suspicions pages: Four Freedoms Federation and John Lilburne Research Institute. --JW1805 22:03, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
If those published works can be verified then this is a keep - he seems sufficiently notable. However, given the other suspicious pages, I'd like it to be checked out more thoroughly.Agentsoo 22:17, 28 July 2005 (UTC)- Just a comment on these publications: Most of these are just conference proceedings (at very obscure conferences). Anyone who has been in academia for years can produce a list like this, but that doesn't make them worthy of an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not the place for obscure professors to post their CV.--JW1805 22:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A FOOTNOTE
- I (MPLX) left Wikipedia some months ago after running into the onslaught of the ill-informed Christian right wing. Although I am not monitoring Wikipedia and do not have any intention of rejoining Wikipedia due to the small cabal of noisy and ill-informed (as opposed to uninformed) people who love deleting stuff, I have been pressed to add this comment due to the sudden interest in deleting a few of the articles that I contributed to. (I have written about many topics.)
- It would appear that someone has it their head to sever any ties between John Lilburne and the foundation of American law. This led to a constant barrage of negative comments on the Hugo Black article. Now I see that the idea is to claim that "Carolana" is a misspelling of "Carolina" and to go further and claim that the article about Carolana is a hoax. To this end both Dr. Kenneth Brown of the University of Houston and Dr. Eric Gilder of the University of Sibiu have also been smeared as being not noteworthy and at worst as the creators of vanity and even hoax articles. Such rants by the few lunatics who have gained a noisy control over Wikipedia are one reason why I left Wikipedia and why Wikipedia is in danger of becoming the refuge of a right-wing idiots.
- It would seem that a handful of people are trolling with the intent to delete anything that they may disagree with. I noticed the same approach was used on the subject of copyright law within articles dealing with the subject of recorded music and broadcasting which I also contributed to. Now I see that all broadcasts by 4FWS have been tagged as not worthy because they were on "pirate" radio stations - even though several were on licensed stations. However, everything is being smeared and tarnished to make it appear that everything and anything that I contributed to was either a hoax, a work of vanity or unnoteworthy. I also created the history of the development of the jet fighter, but I have not as yet (and probably won't bother) checked to see if those entries are also being targeted.
- It is unfortunate to say the least because I thought that Wikipedia had merit, but when I discovered that a mere handful of dedicated zealots could take it over and put their own stamp of ideological approval on it - I left.
- Before making more claims that Carolana never existed I would suggest that you perform a little serious research. Unfortunately the zealots have decided that they are a jack of all subjects (and master of none), and because they have never heard something before it means that the subject is either a hoax or a vanity creation by someone else. How pathetic for Wikipedia!

Delete. ulayiti (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: This proposed 'policy' severely contradicts WP:NOT (Wikipedia is not censored). I don't think there's much useful discussion to be had from a policy proposal that is against some of the most fundamental policies of Wikipedia. - ulayiti (talk) 00:06, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Right, the only reason I'm not a "delete" is that I feel a little uneasy about deleting a policy proposal, however misguided, when we could also just slap a "rejected policy proposal" tag on it and keep it for the record. We could also just userfy it as we've done with other such unpolished proposals. Just a little uneasy about an out and out delete is all, this is definitely not a a full keep vote though. Dmcdevit·t 05:13, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case, this is not so much a proposed policy; it's more of a declaration of intent by a single user. SuperDude didn't apply the {{proposed}} tag to it. I wouldn't oppose the "rejected"/userfy idea you propose, but only if SuperDude supports it. Surprisingly, he hasn't chimed in yet. android79 13:09, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

- Weak delete because the intent of the policy as stated is already a settled matter: "unwanted" is not obscene, WP:NOT censored for anyone. My weakness stems from not wanting to stifle debate.

- Keep. There used to be a much longer mention on Tony Blair but it would unbalance that article. Needs thorough NPOVing, making more of the legal and constitutional aspects. David | Talk 15:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Clearly notable. Tony Blair is quite a prominent individual and this really happened and had extensive coverage in the national media. CalJW 16:05, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep -- Longhair | Talk 23:55, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep -- Merging this page with Tony Blair would be like merging the page on Watergate with Richard Nixon Manik Raina 12:53, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Podchive
Spam. 4 results on google for "podchive". Article was created by User:Idastudios and if you go to the top google result for podchive it says the page website is from "INDEPENDNET [sic] DIGITAL ARTISTS". Aside from this obvious spam and self promotion, the article itself says stuff like podchiving "became popular in late 2005", and in conjunction with the 4 total google hits, it doesn't meet notability requirements.

[edit] Mothership Locater
- Delete: Not enough information for a full article - this device is never even seen in Stargate....--Zxcvbnm 00:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
