[edit] James Montague

This article is a hoax, and it is a repeat hoax at that. Google doesn't know about this rather silly "James Montague". func(talk) 30 June 2005 01:33 (UTC)

Delete, and erase its little redirect, too. Doesn't clear the notability bar. As an aside, this might be an excellent reason to amend the speedy deletion criteria: see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 30 June 2005 02:52 (UTC)

[edit] Leander High School

This article meet the speedy deletion criteria and still does. It only lists the location and that is all it has contained for the past 30 days. Deleting will lose nothing and when someone writes an real article it can stay. Vegaswikian 30 June 2005 01:56 (UTC)

Delete: A box with students and teachers in it. There is no character assigned or described, no individuality to the place at all. No more notable than a gas station or pizzaria. It sure was a speedy delete candidate. Please do not accuse VfD nominators of acting in bad faith when they bring legitimate candidates to this page. Just because you think every school is sacred, that doesn't mean that speedy delete substubs should be left around on this one subject (but none others). [1] [User:Geogre] 30 June 2005 17:00 (UTC)

We have a policy on this? Cool, where is it? Jgm 3 July 2005 12:37 (UTC)

Keep — same reasons as always. — RJH 1 July 2005 16:49 (UTC)
Keep. Per previous debates, all High Schools have potential for notability. Though best practice is to keep it on the city or town page until sufficient information is contributed to merit a separate article, we are better off not wasting our time rehashing old arguments here. Dystopos 1 July 2005 23:10 (UTC)
Delete high school articles that don't indicate notability, not that anyone's listening. Gazpacho 2 July 2005 02:05 (UTC)
Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. Notablility is not a deletion criteria but I believe schools are inherently notable. I will be civil, assume good faith, and not claim that you aren't listening to that argument. DoubleBlue (Talk) 2 July 2005 22:09 (UTC)

[edit] List of RSS Feeds

Wikipedia is not a web directory. --W(t) 30 June 2005 02:03 (UTC)

Delete even a list of notable RSS feeds is hopelessly too huge to maintain a list of. Inclusion of the RSS availability on the subjects pages may be appropriate. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:32 (UTC)
Delete. Unmaintainable list. Nestea 30 June 2005 02:41 (UTC)
Comment: Is there any similar list on the Internet? — Instantnood June 30, 2005 08:16 (UTC)
- There's lots of various RSS lists and directories on the web. Feedster, which calls itself an "RSS search engine", claims to index over 10 million RSS feeds. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 30, 2005 13:12 (UTC)
Delete. Unmaintainable list. utcursch | talk June 30, 2005 08:36 (UTC)
Delete No way could this be maintainable. There are countless millions of RSS feeds online, with some 5 million on LiveJournal alone. It can't be saved just by tacking on the word "notable", because just about everyone who has one considers it notable. Maybe this can be merged into the main RSS article, as a section on examples. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 30, 2005 12:38 (UTC)
Delete web guide Ashibaka (tock) 30 June 2005 18:18 (UTC)

Comment - what about restricting it to "List of RSS news feeds"? --TheGrappler 30 June 2005 23:17 (UTC)
- Wikipedia isn't a web directory of news feeds either I'm afraid. --W(t) 30 June 2005 23:21 (UTC)

[edit] History Videos

Unverifiable vanity page about some amateur videos made by schoolchildren. Previously contained some misleading interwiki links - I'd be surprised if there weren't more inaccuracies in the content. L upin 30 June 2005 02:05 (UTC)

delete agree with Lupin. Please note than a anon user tried to circumvent the VFD procedure by deleting the notice from the article, and this page. --TimPope 5 July 2005 18:26 (UTC)

At least read the whole article before making slanderous comments about something you know nothing about. Why delete this article, just because you dont know anything about History Videos, doesn't mean that other people don't love and enjoy them. -- Ian42 6 July 2005 18:47

[edit] Pang uk

Reason 1, merge it to stilt house and redirect. If it ever becomes more than a section at that other article, maybe it should be split. That is years away. Reason 2, use english. It's nearly a direct translation to stilt house where we already have another stub waiting for regional variations like this one. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:28 (UTC)

merge is my nominating vote. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:28 (UTC)
- Then Be Bold, darnit. VfD doesn't need to vote on whether to merge things! This cluters the page, and wastes time, since now we have to wait 5 days to merge it. It is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission. humblefool® 30 June 2005 06:37 (UTC)
  - If you view the history, you'll see that I've done so. My persistent foil engages in a revert war to prevent it. Watch as he will gather his puppets to vote keep right here. The clear answer, for me, is to bring it to the community to gather consensus. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 14:21 (UTC)
    - Please don't label anybody as puppets. :-) — Insta ntnood June 30, 2005 17:08 (UTC)
Redirect to Stilt house. JamesBurns 30 June 2005 03:57 (UTC)
Oppose. Pang uk has its own history, and is a significant symbol of what the Tanka culture has remained. — Instantnood June 30, 2005 08:27 (UTC)

Comment: If this article has to be deleted, it'd better be merged into Tai O and Tanka. My vote remains a keep vote. — Insta ntnood June 30, 2005 20:24 (UTC)
Merge and trim some of those external links. --Carnildo 30 June 2005 20:51 (UTC)
keep as an individual topic, and expand the miserable stilt house. By the logic of 'mergists', everything may be merged in house. mikka (t) 30 June 2005 21:34 (UTC)
Keep. You are informed that there're different kinds of stilt house. Those in Hanoi, Bangkok and Hong Kong are all entriely different. Furthermore, a documentary produced by TVB few years ago, just after the great fire in Tai O where abounded in loads of Pang uk, suggested that the techniques of building such construction was dying out. Pang uk is of grave historical (mind you, Hong Kong WAS fishing villages), ethnical (particularly to Tanka) and cultural significance to Hong Kong. (PS Pang uk is also a location in Hong Kong.) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 2 July 2005 17:54 (UTC)

It makes sense that "stilt house" is just a general category which can describe many independently developed types of house. So, I'm changing my vote. Thanks for the research, Jerry. :) Ashibaka (tock) 2 July 2005 18:52 (UTC)

Keep Is notable music producer, it seems. The Mariah trivia deserves to die, but not brave enough to do this myself. Morwen - Talk 30 June 2005 11:19 (UTC)
Keep. If I'm reading Chartwatch correctly, he produced several UK Top 10 singles for several different artists, including Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls," Erasure's "A Little Respect," and New Order's "True Faith" (and some of his UK hit singles were also hits in the US). He has an Allmusic entry which backs this up. [2] Although he is a producer rather than a performer, a track record like that ought to be considered to satisfy WP:MUSIC. --Metropolitan90 June 30, 2005 14:00 (UTC)

Keep. I've just rewritten the article - please re-read it. She is well above the notability bar for a college professor and historian. She currently holds an endowed chair at a major university (U. of Michigan) and was used to be a dean at another (U. Cal. Davis). Her book 'A Concise History of India' is well known and widely read in the field. Sheldrake 30 June 2005 20:28 (UTC)
Keep based on the rewrite. Good job. By the way, the test for professors at WP:BIO says "If the individual is more well known and more published than an average college professor, they can and should be included." At most American universities (if not all), far fewer than half of the professors occupy an endowed chair. By definition, virtually any professor in an endowed chair "is more well known and more published than an average college professor" because the professors who are less well known and less published than an average professor are not typically going to get the plum appointment. That doesn't mean that the author of the article shouldn't do his or her homework, however, just that it is likely that if you look into it, a professor with a named professorship does meet the test for inclusion.

[edit] Quagmire

This article has been marked as in need of cleanup for some time; upon reflection, I don't see how it can ever be anything more than a dictionary definition. Right now, a number of anonymous contributors are attempting to hijack it and turn it into POV veiled flamage at people who don't like the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but this is merely the last straw. wiktionary:quagmire already exists and looks good, if lacking in etymology. so my vote is Delete Zack 30 June 2005 06:18 (UTC)

Delete. Sure fire target for POV pushers, and it isn't an article as much as a rant. Harro5 June 30, 2005 09:15 (UTC)

Cleanup. In recent years, "quagmire" has become virtually synonymous with "failed war", and there should definitely be something in Wikiworld reflecting that usage. Since that's probably not appropriate for a dictionary because it's not the technical definition of the word, Wikipedia seems like the place to do that. Dcarrano 30 June 2005 18:57 (UTC)
- If "quagmire" has a meaning of "failed war", then the dictionary entry for the word should reflect that. It's not our job to make up for the shortcomings of Webster's. We're an encyclopedia, not a dictionary, dammit! --Carnildo 30 June 2005 21:04 (UTC)

~~No vote~~ I'm not sure outright deletion is called for since the political usage of the term is quite common, but the article has little potential to be more than a dicdef. Best bet would probably be to turn it into a disambiguation page. Kaibabsquirrel 1 July 2005 07:23 (UTC)
- Change vote to Keep now that it has been redone as a disambig page Kaibabsquirrel 4 July 2005 19:53 (UTC)
Delete This is dicdef for sure. I have yet to see how this article adds to the usefullness of the WP other than a dicdef which is grounds for deletion. Perhaps if the authors could create a list of quagmires, with the history of the term, and perhaps a VfD argument here to keep it; there might be a case. As of yet, I don't see one. Inigmatus July 1, 2005 19:27 (UTC)
Keep I've removed the POV material and a useless reference, added Joshua Quagmire, Quagmire McDuck, and a link to The X-Files (season 3) which had an episode entitled "Quagmire". It is now, in my opinion, a useful disambiguation page. Dystopos 1 July 2005 23:40 (UTC)

It might be tempting to want to WP:Cleanup this article but the concept of "Manufacturers survivial" (sic) does not appear to exist in any encylopaedic sense.

Currently context does not match the title (talks about a different person overall) and I do not see enough material to expand it. Penwhale 30 June 2005 11:47 (UTC)

Keep. it needs a serious scrub but Li Jing is Nezha's father. i'll see what i can do with it later this week. Nateji77 30 June 2005 13:20 (UTC)

By nominating this article at present, I was trying to point out that what's written at the moment does not refer to him. And since it's a deadend article, it sits on the borderline. Penwhale

a lot of people have been putting vfd tags on articles before they put cleanup tags on them, or post to the article's talk page. generally, if someone starts a bogus article in the namespace of a valid topic, i thinkwe should try to fix it before we move to delete it--especially now that we're expected to argue a case for recreating an article with the same name as a deleted article.

but yeah, this article as is is pretty bad. it says the character is a character in a different character (sun wukong is a character, not a work). Nateji77 30 June 2005 14:20 (UTC)

The original context, if anything, needs to be moved to a new name and expand. We have to re-write this particular article. Thus, for the current text, move to Hong Hai Er and reworked or total delete then rewrite. I do agree with you that VfD might be a bit harsh, but the text -might- belong at Hong Hai Er for now. In any event, there is quite a bit to do. Penwhale

Li Jing at zh wikipedia is a stub, but fixed the article here. will check out Hong Hai Er. Nateji77 30 June 2005 14:41 (UTC)

Don't we also need to add subsec for them in respective articles for diffrentiate the real-life- and novel-based parts? Penwhale 30 June 2005 15:42 (UTC)

Cleaned up--there are now proper stubs for both Li Jing and Hong Hai Er. i'll work on them more, but will be out of town over the weekend, so monday, maybe tuesday. i dont think the vfd was harsh, just premature. :) Nateji77 30 June 2005 15:00 (UTC)

Delete being a real thing is not the issue, it's the chance that this could be an encylopedic article. This sounds like a heading in a press article. Saying media are covered, covers who this is for, no need to list they classes of workers.

[edit] Pensioner

Dicdef - the article even admits it. Cutler June 30, 2005 12:07 (UTC)

Sigh. The article includes a reference to one of the sources used to write it, which happened to be a dictionary. Shock horror. Penfold June 30, 2005 12:16 (UTC)
It doesn't even have the sense of pensioner that nearly all the articles linking to it mean. (only Abraham de la Pryme uses it like that). Morwen - Talk 30 June 2005 13:11 (UTC)
I've added some info about what it actually does mean. Still stubby, but worth keeping. Proto t c 30 June 2005 15:23 (UTC)

Keep and expand. Well done Proto. I think that pensioners are a notable enough concept to warrant expansion especially distinction between old age pensioners and self-funded retirees. Capitalistroadster 1 July 2005 01:24 (UTC)
Keep Weak It rests on the fringe between dictdef and a genuine article. It needs expansion to move my Keep Weak to a general Keep. A suggestion would be to relate the article to other retirement articles. Retirement-related articles will probably get more popular as American and UK baby boomers start to retire, and this is an appropriate stub article until then. Inigmatus July 1, 2005 22:29 (UTC)

[edit] Waitpid()

Looks like a verbatim copy of the function's man page. I don't think that counts as a copyvio, but it does make the article unencyclopedic. Delete or rewrite as shorter and more layman-friendly. — JIP | Talk 30 June 2005 13:00 (UTC)

I was going to say: Keep but rewrite/reformat a bit. definately NOT rewrite in layman terms. No layman would ever care about multithread programming. before i vote, i got to ask a question: is there a wiki-man-pages project or something? if it does, it should be moved there.

[edit] Craig J. Spence

Delete. Is this for real? I cannot find any referral to this except on conspiracy websites. Article says it was reported in the Washington Post, but methinks it may have been some other tabloid publication. — Fingers-of-Pyrex June 30, 2005 13:13 (UTC)

Comment. There is apparently some substance here although the date of the Washington Post article is incorrect. A search of the Washington Post archives for "craig spence" in 1989 turns up an article on Nov. 12, 1989 titled "Craig Spence, Figure in D.C. Sex Case, Found Dead in Boston" and other news coverage earlier in the year. (Search at [8].) Whether the allegations in the Craig J. Spence article are true is another matter. --Metropolitan90 June 30, 2005 14:13 (UTC)

I believe the Craig Spence story was "broken" in the Washington Times. This was also of interest as the Washington Times had always been a "conservative" paper. Many believe it was a way for Rev. Moon to get the attention of the Republicans in the White House at the time and gain support for the Unification Church.

Keep Frank Field was a very notable meteorologist from a generation ago. Actually, he was more of a TV personality in the spirit of Al Roker than a meteorologist. However, this article does need more information/cleanup. Metromoxie 30 June 2005

[edit] Brian Blackwell

This is about a psychopathic murderer whose only claim to fame was that he killed his parents. Will every madman now get a Wikipedia article?

Comment. This is fresh in the news as Brian Blackwell was only sentenced yesterday. He may become a famous murderer, and therefore notable, or he may be forgotten, and be non-notable. I don't think we know yet. David | Talk 30 June 2005 15:39 (UTC)
- Someone who is jailed for life to become a famous murderer? True, stranger things have happened... JFW | T@lk 30 June 2005 16:38 (UTC)
  - This may divert from the topic under immediate discussion but Who's Who long ago removed their prohibition on those with serious criminal convictions from appearing, on the explicit basis that the criminal are often no less distinguished than the law-abiding. The old DNB had one or two articles, which included the famous example of Eugene Aram whose article began "Eugene Aram, criminal, born 17..". The new Oxford DNB has many more notorious figures in it including some semi-fictional and others such as Jack the Ripper whose identity is unknown. David | Talk 30 June 2005 19:21 (UTC)

  - As far as I am aware no-one has a written a proposal on the extent and form of the overlap of 'pedia and 'news. I'd've thought that having news report day-by-day events "Abagail regains movement" etc but 'pedia having an overall bio on her and the attack would be fine. Certainly that seems to be existing practice. Pcb21| Pete 1 July 2005 08:49 (UTC)
    - Wikinews relies upon Wikipedia for what, in other news services, would have to be explicitly supplied background articles. It's one of the strengths of Wikinews that it has an encyclopaedia, a dictionary, a list of quotations, and so forth ready to hand to call upon, which other news services do not. However, note the case of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Maureen Faibish. Not everyone who is newsworthy warrants a biography in the encyclopaedia. Uncle G July 1, 2005 11:33 (UTC)

[edit] President of the United Kingdom

"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland does not have a president" . . . so why have an article on this nonexistent office? There are no links to this page and most of the 600-odd hits are for things like "president of the United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association".—Charles P. (Mirv) 30 June 2005 16:08 (UTC)

Delete - Uk doesn't have any active volcanoes either, but I don't see a list of them. A silly article devoid of purpose. Naturenet | Talk 30 June 2005 16:17 (UTC)
No vote The article shouldn't have links to it because of it is. I could see how it would be useful for the average American searcher. Then again that is just US-centric type of article so I'm not sure. Falphin 30 June 2005 16:19 (UTC)
Delete pointless article. David | Talk 30 June 2005 16:22 (UTC)
No vote. The original text of this article before its first deletion read "I want to find out the names of the Presidents of England." A case can be made that if one user was trying to look up the names of the presidents of England, then others might. It's a plausible mistake by someone poorly informed or U.S.-centric or both, and arguably it's useful to have some kind of dab or redirect in place, much as we do for frequent or plausible typos. It's not a very strong case. The biggest problem is I'm not sure why they would be likely to type "President of the United Kingdom" rather than "President of England" (or, given assumptions about the kind of user doing the typing, "Prezident of Ingland.") I don't care whether the article is deleted or not, so no vote. Dpbsmith (talk) 30 June 2005 16:40 (UTC)

Sounds like the original was a speedy candidate under the 'attempts to communicate with title' criteria. David | Talk 30 June 2005 16:48 (UTC)

I'd be concerned if we started accepting all articles for all possible mis-spellings, misconceptions and mispronounciations. That would open up an infinite, and unhelpful, article space. The user who is competent to search for, say, the President of England, will almost certainly find the answer to the question they failed to ask properly on Wikipedia (or elsewhere) soon enough by looking at the existing, correctly titled resources.

Hannah the usul, the subject of this debate, is copyvio and has now been tagged as such. Hannah and the Pirate Caves is also copyvio and has been tagged as such. Hannah (Neopets) is the only valid article of the bunch, and should probably just be merged back into Neopets. --Idont Havaname 3 July 2005 04:14 (UTC)

Merge per Carnildo, to keep the school inclusionists happy... though truthfully, a separate wiki for schools would be a whole lot more useful than turning Wikipedia into a web directory of schools. If a school isn't well-known out of state, or at the center of a national news story, it's not notable enough to receive its own article. Universities are notable because in the job market and academia, they receive much more recognition than schools below them do. Schools below university level should just be mentioned in passing with their city, just as shopping malls, libraries, etc., are. (And yes, I did actually read the article and see its recent changes before voting.) --Idont Havaname 1 July 2005 04:52 (UTC)
- Comment. Inclusionists??!! Methinks I might have fallen into some sort of controversy I never heard of before. All I did was find a 1-sentence stub about a non-notable school...To be that seems about as notable as an article that says "Vinnie's car wash is a car wash on 47th Street in Someplace, CA." I guess that's what I get for trying to clean up wikipedia...--[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 1 July 2005 05:19 (UTC)
  - "Inclusionist" is Wikipedia slang for those bent on including every possible scrap of trivia under the heading "knowledge" (as opposed to "deletionists", who are intent on slash-and-burn censorship throughout Wikipedia to leave ignorance and darkness in their wake). Or something like that.
  - Schools seem to touch a particular nerve, whereby people who might argue strenuously against inclusion of people who lack strong evidence of fame, accomplishment, and/or notoriety suddenly , when it comes to schools, confuse Wikipedia with the Special Olympics, where EVERY school is special regardless of its fame, accomplishment, and/or notoriety. --Calton | Talk 1 July 2005 05:37 (UTC)

Comment Have just redone a part about the Kids Helping Kids Program, which might bring to light some notability for the school. No, I the author will not under any circumstances merge this with the entries for the City of Ottawa, the OCDSB or any other entry WHILE (and I mean while truthfuly here) there are some stubs of high schools in the area (e.g. Bell High School) of whom have less information than this entry and which are allowed to be sitting there freely. The ONLY reason you discriminate against the entry is that you do not believe this school is as worth speaking of as a high school, or even a university. (And Spinboy? Saying it's not really notable for anything, although true, it's in more in how you said it than what you said. e.g. "trust me" That's kinda harsh, don't you think?) Well then, I must say that I have tried my best, and I will leave it up to you all to decide whether to delete the harmless (oh yeah and Ottawa-Related) entry when even the original poster has decided to let it slide. Bensun 1 July 2005 21:31:35 UTC
- So, you're conceding it's not notable? -- Coneslayer 2005 July 1 21:40 (UTC)
- I believe Bensun is saying it's not specially notable for a middle school. However, the "Kids helping Kids" section proves that the school has had an impact beyond its local area. Kappa 1 July 2005 21:42 (UTC)
- If the program is notable, then maybe that should be the Wikipedia article, rather than the school. -- Coneslayer 2005 July 1 21:46 (UTC)
  - Hmm.. there's a thought... making an obviously stubby entry in Wikipedia for a basketball tournament around Ottawa started by one specific school that doesn't have an entry itself. Surely it wouldn't end up getting deleted and you nor any of the nay-sayers on this board would not jump on my back and demand so because of a lack of information. 2005 July 1 21:53 (UTC)
Comment I started Ottawa-Carleton District School Board specifically for this type of article to avoid VfD debate. It has been reasonably unsuccessful in that, as the overwhelming preference for those writing about schools seems to be to break out school articles despite the threat of deletion. No vote yet. The Steve July 2, 2005 06:47 (UTC)
- The problem is that the district article does nothing to support development there. The only school list is in an article you link where there is a red link for every missing school in the linked article. So many users will just follow that, see nothing and simply add a few words. Don't know what a good solution is in that case. Vegaswikian 2 July 2005 08:27 (UTC)

[edit] FCKGW

This page includes no notable text that isn't already in Windows XP, Product activation, Microsoft product activation debate, and half a dozen articles on Copy prevention, piracy and the like. This article constantly attracts people adding the entire key to the article. Wikipedia is not a cracks database. It has 29,000 google hits, but that reflects the popularity of pirating Windows XP, not this particular key on its own SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 19:08 (UTC)

Strong Keep: The information in the article is of significant encyclopedic value, and offers no material assistance to pirates (as if this should even be a factor in the decision!). The key was disabled by Microsoft three years ago, and is of real historical value. Alereon July 1, 2005 03:44 (UTC)
- It can't be disabled in software that has already been shipped, and you yourself added the key [14] that's material assistance to piracy. There is nothing encyclopedic in the article that isn't presented in other articles. SchmuckyTheCat 8 July 2005 14:27 (UTC)
Keep: What seems to be the problem with keeping an article about the historical use of a product activation key. The key has been disabled so it isn't an ongoing situation which means it does not really belong in the current article 'Microsoft product activation debate', it belongs in its own article. --ShaunMacPherson 1 July 2005 03:57 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Lorenzen

non-notable Rlitwin 04:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

A prior version of this article went through the deletion process and the result was delete. The reason was non-notability. The new article may have some new content but the person in question hasn't grown greatly in notability since then. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Lorenzen (prior deletion). Rlitwin 04:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Considering the subject as an academic, he does not appear to be more notable than the average professor. See WP:PROFTEST. --Metropolitan90 07:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete per Metropolitan90. Dionyseus 09:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Keep. This person is well know in the library instruction field and meets the criteria for a noted professor or academic. He has 64 citations at Google Scholar on the search (lorenzen "library instruction"). I think that is notable. LarryQ 04:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this article similar to Jessamyn West which survived a vote for delation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessamyn West? Most Wikipedia users have no clue who is important in the library world but a Google search quickly shows notability. LarryQ 05:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Jessamyn is noted in the library world primarily as a blogger, and also as an ALA Councilor (she just finished her three year term). I am in the library world, and I have never heard of Michael Lorenzen. If you want to use a Google test, I think you will find there is no comparison between Jessamyn West and Michael Lorenzen on that basis. (You might check my results as well - "rory litwin" - and you will see the kind of results a non-notable can get in the library world.) Michael Lorenzen is one of thousands in the library world in terms of notability. Lots of people write articles. If you look at Jessamyn's articles for deletion discussion, you'll see that it was close, and a deciding fact seems to have been that she was selected as one of a dozen or so bloggers invited to attend the 2004 Democratic National Convention as bloggers in the press corps. So, it seems to me that Jessamyn survived the articles for deletion vote mainly because of her notability as a blogger. She was one of the earliest bloggeres and is very well known in the profession for that. There aren't any other Wikipedia articles on contemporary librarians who are as non-notable as Lorenzen; his article is really an exception, in my opinion. The others are either actual professors, ALA past-presidents, historical figures, etc. Rlitwin 13:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, I don't think 64 hits in Google Scholar meets the professor test. Compare professor Kathleen McCook, who I think is notable in the library world. (kathleen mccook library gets 292 hits in google scholar.) Rlitwin 13:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, most of Lorenzen's articles were published in state and local publications, not national publications. He is probably very well known locally and somewhat known nationally, but notability requires a little more in an encyclopedia, IMO. Rlitwin 14:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weatherzone

NN, D. ComCat 30 June 2005 19:35 (UTC)

Delete looks like advertising designed to look like a stub. The edit history is interesting. Vegaswikian 1 July 2005 05:36 (UTC)
~~Keep and expand or~~ Merge into The Weather Company article. As noted on the requests for expansion entry, someone has volunteered to do an expansion/merger into a larger article based on Weatherzone's parent service; it hasn't been done yet due to his studies, he wrote. Copy of the comments are as follows:

*Weatherzone - Article right now reads like a dicdef or an advertising blurb. While it may be important to Australians, not being one I don't see how it is; if it is significant, it needs to be exanded so it doesn't end up on VFD listing.--Mitsukai 15:45, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm a weatherzone user, and I don't think the weatherzone website itself is significant enough to warrant an article. It's just a glorified version of the Bureau of Meteorology website. I do think there would be a case for creating an article on [www.theweather.com.au The Weather Company], which manages weatherzone, and also is the main distributor of weather information to TV stations. I'll see what I can do about it, though I really should be studying for exams now :) -- Graham 03:30, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Granted, while I agree in its current incarnation it's wikispam (I said as much in the history, and I actually considered VFDing it earlier in the week before I checked the RFX pages), I'd think this would be useful enough to give some Aussies a chance to update it before we kill it off. I'd expect the same, if we were talking about, say, The Weather Channel's weather.com here in the US.--Mitsukai 1 July 2005 13:43 (UTC)

redirect to The Weather Company article. I've just created the article for The Weather Company, as I suggested on the aforementioned Requests for Expansion page. Its mention of weatherzone should be enough, and it is not necessary to have an article entirely devoted to Weatherzone. Graham 2 July 2005 11:13 (UTC)

[edit] "focus on the family radio theatre"

link spam ➥the Epopt 30 June 2005 20:48 (UTC)

Delete. Vanity. They have done an amazing job, and Jesus is the greatest person of all. Tempshill 30 June 2005 20:49 (UTC)
Keep but redirect to a proper title and clean up. Deb 30 June 2005 20:52 (UTC)
Keep, sort of. Focus on the Family radio productions are widely syndicated, sold in Christian bookstores, and series such as "Adventures in Odyssey," which already has its own page, have many fans outside of religion, merely because of the stories and voice acting. And many of their productions, like "Anne of Green Gables," are non-religious (though family oriented), and I seem to recall the latter being syndicated outside of Christian radio stations as well. Speaking as a radio fan/scholar and how few radio dramas are produced in the US these days, it's probably notable enough for an article. One might argue that it be merged with the general Focus on the Family page, but that focuses on the organization's religious agenda and history, so I think a seperation is not uncalled for. However, I agree, it would *definitely* need strong cleanup to avoid the vanity, the POV religious statements, provide more actual information and history, and of course, the lower-case. Sorry for going on, so, I guess keep if someone actually volunteers or is able to fix it within a short period; otherwise delete and let someone start a new page with the proper title and info. Aleal 30 June 2005 21:08 (UTC)

Consensus is obviously to keep. Let me point out, though, that Wikipedia is still too young (at 4 years old) to have created a policy on articles about contributors who are somewhat well-known outside of Wikipedia. I only know of 2 or 3 other notable people who have contributed, like that guy who started Disinfopedia and some minor gay celebrity. The other 99.99% of us are just amateur volunteers.

We need to create a policy for this. Uncle Ed July 8, 2005 13:44 (UTC)

You mean a policy "like don't create a page on your mate"? Or "admins should never close the VFDs on the unencyclopedic pages they created in the first place"? Oh never mind. Dunc|☺ 8 July 2005 18:17 (UTC)

[edit] William Connolley

del Nonnotable average scientist. No notable accomplishments mentioned. I have 20x more publications. mikka (t) 30 June 2005 22:08 (UTC)

Delete. It says something when he can't list his achievements but only a patently obvious statemnt global environment change is supported by the scientific community. It would make a good user page for User:William M. Connolley; better than the one he has already, though I know his name well enough around here that he should have known not to have written about himself. Wait until he gets a professorship or accidentally discovers yet another hole in the Ozone layer that the boffins at NASA missed. Dunc|☺ 30 June 2005 22:17 (UTC)

My vote stands, though I now think Ed Poor should'nt've written about his mate. Dunc|☺ 30 June 2005 22:40 (UTC)

  - NB. The nominator of the previous VfD didn't actually vote, so there were only 4 votes, of which 3 were "keeps" which would be a consensus (and mikka should not have edited the closer's conclusion in the archive to change it to "no consensus"). However, I would feel the same way if it survived a 3:2 vote that was called no consensus. There are better things to do than put up articles for deletion over and over again. DS1953 30 June 2005 22:59 (UTC)
    - NNBB. Many maintain that the default vote, based on the intention, of the nominator is delete, unless stated otherwise. Yes, I know there are much more useful things to do.

- Just to show my good will, here are some hints: was he elected to lead some organizations/committees, etc? Are his articles frequently quoted (as opposed, to plain graphomaniacs)? Was he honorably awarded for his work? If you cannot provide any of these, sorry folks. Keep him if you like, but I detest such "friendly" attitude.

Keep. Seems to be more notable than an average scientist with the publications and the blog. Also, there is no rule saying that people are not allowed to vote on themselves. (I remember there was one nomination which went along the lines of "I am the subject of the article and I am not notable", can't remember where it was though.)

Comment. I am really bothered by the fact that Connolley has contributed to the article. He really shouldn't, and it weakens his position here in voting on this VfD, as it brings with it the suggestion of vanity. Secondly, I read over the link Dunc provided, Wikipedia_talk:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Academics. It is not an official policy nor an official guideline, indeed, Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies merely describes it as an alternative test that has been proposed. VfDs like this one always confuse me. Jimbo states that the 2 primary rules are Wikipedia:Verifiability and WP:NPOV. Connolley appears to be entirely verifiable, and the article does not actually read like vanity, per se. I really wish WP had a stronger set of official guidelines for situations like this. func(talk) 1 July 2005 17:24 (UTC)
- What makes it worse is that, as Wm Connolley has admitted to me, Ed Poor created the article in order to bolster his position in a Wikipedia edit war somewhere on global environment change. Dunc|☺ 2 July 2005 10:51 (UTC)
Keep - for involvement in "Real Climate" alone he is more notable than a minor Pokemon character or an episode of DS9. His pubs make him (look) more notable than the "average" colllege professor (since this is based on American standards, and third author on a Science paper blows most of them out of the water).

Weak Keep. I think WMC is notable for his position as a scientist involved in public advocacy (e.g. RealClimate), but I would really appreciate seeing something more tangible than a list of publications for the purpose of establishing notability as a scientist.

[edit] NESARA

Delete Completely idiosyncratic non-topic -- not notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I think it should be deleted. At best this merits a brief entry on a page about hoaxes or perhaps on a page about bizarre social engineering projects.--csloat 30 June 2005 22:20 (UTC)
Keep This reason for deletion is idiosyncratic itself as it bears no resemblence to reality. This article is supported by a book, a movie, a nonprofit organization, and provides a well known example for new Wikipedia general categories of monetary reform, and tax reform. Modeled after the Fair tax article, it could be submitted that this article on NESARA be split into two articles: one about the NESARA internet hoax, with a reference to the legitimate version; and then a seperate article about the legitimate NESARA bill itself as currently under review by the Presiden't Commission for Tax Reform at www.taxreformpanel.gov; and presented to many congress persons over the last decade. I am currently not aware of any Wikipedia litmus test for legislative proposals as being limited only to proposals that are submitted to congress and have a bill number. Though some NPOV issues are raised due to the lack of arguments against NESARA, that can easily be addressed by expanding the appropriate section.--Inigmatus 30 June 2005 22:28 (UTC).
Comment No vote yet, but the germs of the arguments are in the article's Talk page. -EDM 30 June 2005 22:39 (UTC)
Delete Pure nonsense. Read the content. Hoax sounds about right. Groeck 1 July 2005 04:02 (UTC)

The article is now split into two

Keep I split the article into two, one for the conspiracy theory, one for the legislative proposal. I was uncomfortable with this information being mushed together in one article from the onset, and this makes so much more sense. Especially now that it's being considered for deletion, and the reasons for or against deleting one are so much more different from the arguments for and against deleting the other. So this discussion is on deleting the article containing information on the legislative proposal. I vote AGAINST deleting it, but I do think it really needs to be compressed to about 20 percent of its current size, and needs more balance. - sednar (talk • contribs)
Keep both articles -- this, so that there is a "fair comment" NPOV articel on NESARA, for those who want to know about it; and the conspiracy/hoax page so that people who hear about it can find out the (relatively NPOV, though Ms.Goodwin would not agree) objective view of NESARA-the-patent-nostrum --Simon Cursitor 1 July 2005 07:08 (UTC)
Delete both, not significant enough for more than a brief mention in an article about social engineering projects proposed by minor non-governmental organisations. ~~~~ 1 July 2005 07:16 (UTC)
Keep both, especially after the split. In the legislative sense, NESARA does seem to one of the thousands of proposals. Regardless of one's opinions about the viability of the proposal, it is now very famous proposal in some circles, connected to hoaxes, fraud, etc. If somebody would come to WP looking for information about it, these articles can really clear things up. No doubt there is the usual risk that pro-NESARA folks will try to vandalize them to adovacate their POV, but it has not lead to deletion of even more controversial places. - Skysmith 1 July 2005 10:06 (UTC)
Note: to people voting keep both above: the other half of the article is being discussed on another VfD, so just saying keep both here will not have the intended effect. --cesarb 1 July 2005 13:52 (UTC)
Cleanup, MASSIVELY. This should be an article examining the conspiracy theory (the "conspiracy theory" fork should be deleted)... not a lengthy ramble describing specific provisions of a bill that does not actually exist. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 14:58 (UTC)
- Comment The draft does exist in the public domain here: It does not have a THOMAS locator registry number since it has not been submited to Congress for review, however the draft of the bill does exist in 24 pages available to the public, drafted by Dr. Harvey F. Barnard. Inigmatus 1 July 2005 15:00 (UTC)
  - Some random person drafting a bill and publishing it on the Internet does not mean Congress has ever considered or will ever consider it, any more than if you or I did the same. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 19:34 (UTC)
    - First NESARA was drafted in 1991 before the internet. It's in a published book called "Draining the Swamp", a movie is being made of the hoax version of it, and it is under official review by the President's Advisory Panel for Federal Tax Reform at http://www.taxreformpanel.gov.
  - Second, I was not aware that entry on the offical THOMAS Congressional record was a WP requirement for a legislative proposal, let alone a litmus test for such an article's removal. Inigmatus July 1, 2005 20:18 (UTC)
- Trolling accusations are inappropriate; assume good faith. The thing is that I don't believe there is any "legitimate" NESARA bill. Sure, a few private citizens in a country of 250 million people might support such a bill, but that doesn't make it a bill "under consideration by Congress." Therefore, there should only be one article, discussing the conspiracy theory surrounding this phantom bill, and it should be under the NESARA label. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 19:30 (UTC)
  - Good faith assumed, if not trolling, then certainly the reasons for VfD seem to be a matter of POV regarding the article's validity. One only need check out the references to be convined the validity of the article and its necessity in a public encyclopedia. If you wish to propose a change to VfD guidelines, feel free to do so. Currently, there is no rule limiting articles on proposed legislation to only articles submitted in the Congressional THOMAS record. Inigmatus July 1, 2005 20:40 (UTC)
    - Please demonstrate that the President is actually reviewing this bill, beyond simply linking me to a generic government agency website. Otherwise, a legislative proposal that has never been, and most likely will never be, actually considered by a legislative body is not notable. The conspiracy theory, however, is. Article should reflect that. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 20:30 (UTC)
      - In an email received by Dr. Harvey F. Barnard on May 2, 2005, he told me he has spoken with the Vice-Chair of the panel, former US Senator John Breaux from his home state of Louisianna, and sent him a copy of the book "Draining the Swamp" at John's request. I can provide this email, if necessary.Inigmatus July 1, 2005 20:41 (UTC)
        
        Okay; reasonable minds may differ at this point. I suspect Mr. Breaux was simply being polite ;-) However, I cannot prove a negative and prove that Congress will never consider it; that would be impossible. Still, evaluating how truly radical the bill is and what little solid evidence there is IMO that it truly is a "legislative proposal" in the sense of anyone in the legislature actually caring about it, I still maintain that the proposal itself is not notable, and that the NESARA article need discuss the proposal only in the context of the notable conspiracy theory. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 20:50 (UTC)
        
        Perhaps you can explain what makes the bill any more radical than the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, or the FairTax Act of 2005, and therefore not worthy of inclusion in WP; if not only to serve as an article of reference from which a large internet hoax was based from? At this point, I am sure you can agree we are merely discussing a POV difference on the merits of the bill. We are really not talking about its legitimacy, or validity, or about any particularly applicable VfD WP deletion rule. Splitting this article was the most appropriate solution to the debate between text overload, and I agree that the NESARA article could use some better summarization, but no more I would expect than to see in FairTax. Because there is no real VfD rule infringed here that can not be addressed by its splitting, I would appeal to the community to consider this VfD irrelevant and closed. Of course, in the spirit of the community, I'd still like to hear of any recommendations for cleanup of these split articles, if you feel they need it. After all, this is wiki. :)Inigmatus July 1, 2005 20:58 (UTC)
        
        Agree that article "to serve as an article of reference from which a large internet hoax was based" is appropriate; see my "cleanup" vote above. Disagree that we're not discussing applicable VfD WP deletion rules when, IMO, one of the subjects of the two NESARA-related articles is not notable. But perhaps that is better discussed in the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/NESARA conspiracy theory VfD, since that is the one I feel should be deleted, with its content largely ported over here. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 21:09 (UTC)
        
        I'm glad we can agree on keeping NESARA. Now as to NESARA conspiracy theory I will leave that discussion on that page. Inigmatus July 1, 2005 21:14 (UTC)

Delete the crackpottery and legislative vaporware, include the scam/hoax part from NESARA conspiracy theory --Calton | Talk 2 July 2005 12:33 (UTC)
- So far no one has been able to explain what makes it crackpot. Perhaps you can back up your statement with fact? 168.103.83.38 2 July 2005 16:46 (UTC)
  - Put as briefly as possible, and listing only the most obvious reasons, the proposal is crackpottery because: it is written by one individual, an autodidact, and promoted through an organization that is purely web-based; it has been around for years and has not found a single legislative sponsor; the bill and its promotional literature uses the lingo of fringe groups such as tax protesters, survivalists, and marginal populists. Despite all this, still no vote. -EDM 2 July 2005 17:30 (UTC)
    - First, may I remind you that it is the reason the hoaxters coopted the draft that it has a hard time finding Congressional support, and second the "lingo" is used by supporters of the FairTax and other tax reform proposals that have Congressional sponsorship. I think you present a weak case on it being "crackpot" so far. Besides being crackpot, I still don't see how it yet has to violate a Wikipedia deletion rule. So far no one has presented a proper case. Inigmatus July 4, 2005 03:31 (UTC)
  - I'll also offer the following as further support for the proposition that the NESARA proposal is crackpottery, on the related principles of "the company they keep" or "by their fruits shall ye know them." It was posted on a NESARA discussion board here by a supporter of the NESARA proposal, and it pertains to the Terri Schiavo (or Terri Schindler Schiavo, depending on your POV) fuss of a few months ago:

An innocent woman has been publically executed after 13 days of court-ordered torture. Our judicial system has failed the higher law. The other two branches of government should have followed the higher law, just as people disobeyed the Nazi order to not harbor Jews during WWII. At the very least, if NESARA was law, it would have helped foster a culture of governmental honesty and openness that could have shed the light on the conflict-of-interests so rampant in this case - and maybe even prevented her murder by court-ordered dehydration. May she become a martyr for real change.

There are fine arguments on both sides of the right-to-life/right-to-die debate, but I suggest that it's only the crackpots who would address those arguments through a legislative proposal ostensibly directed at monetary and fiscal reform. -EDM 5 July 2005 16:49 (UTC)

- - - I think you're getting desperate, and still have yet to prove its crackpottery. You've gone to fishing on my message board and all you can find is some obscure quote I wrote on my own message board months ago. Besides, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that in a government were honesty is fostered as a culture, that it would also permeate its judicial system, and that in principle, had such honesty been more forthcomming in the Shiavo case, the judge would have been pressured to recuse himself from it due to his conflicts of interests in the case. And no one will say it's "crackpot" to believe government should try to be more honest with its citizens. If you think this is a crackpot comment, well, ... I let your beliefs stand for what they are. You make the case against yourself, and fail to align your previous statement as having anything remotely to do with this VfD - and I might add, your statements about my own quote are way off this topic. Besides, I have yet to meet another NESARA supporter who shared my particular view in that quote anyways, so you have yet to make a case that even NESARA supporters in general are crackpots (or even myself for that matter).
- On a related note, just because you deem maybe one supporter of the bill a crackpot (which you still can't prove), doesn't mean the bill itself is crackpot, which is what you have yet to prove - and is the point of this VfD discussion - and is what I'm still waiting to hear. You should judge the idea on its own merit, and let it stand by itself, for the article is not about me, nor about you, but about an NPOV on a bill responsible for one of the most well-known internet hoaxes still ongoing. I'm still waiting, and I'm sure those following this conversation are still waiting to hear a valid case too. We're at day 5 of this VfD and still you have not presented a valid case for deletion. If you have no further response in regards to the merits of this bill, and can't produce valid arguments in favor for its deletion according to the WP Deletion Guideliens, then I rest my case. Inigmatus July 5, 2005 18:55 (UTC)
  - As I've stated repeatedly, I haven't taken a position on whether this article should be deleted or kept, so it's not really accurate to say I'm "desperate" one way or the other. I've only posted a bit of information and commentary and it's all seeming to take on a life of its own. Based on Inigmatus' last post immediately above, I'm more convinced than ever that NESARA is one of the crackier pots around. Still, I'm leaning toward a keep vote on this article, for its amusement value if nothing else, assuming it can get cut down to a paragraph or two. -EDM 5 July 2005 19:19 (UTC)
- And back to something that does actually have to do with this VfD discussion: NESARA is not a bill. Until it gets introduced in Congress by an actual member of that august body, and thereby becomes a bill and acquires some notability, NESARA is simply somebody's idea (good or bad). That is one of the reasons that this article, if it is to be kept, should be substantially reduced in size. -EDM 5 July 2005 19:29 (UTC)
Just a note on notability - I posted this to the other vfd page too - I did a lexis/nexis search for the word "nesara" -- fulltext, not just titles -- for all dates available and found only one use of the word, in a letter to the editor from 2001 written by some guy in denver. That seems to be very non-notable. And the creator of this page keeps insisting that this is one of the "most popular internet hoaxes" which first should have no bearing on the page about the economic theory but second is simply not true; there is nothing about it in the Snopes urban legends database. So I am even more convinced now that this article and the other one refer to items that are not yet notable in any significant way.--csloat 5 July 2005 20:09 (UTC)
- I think there is some confusion in terminology that it would be as well to make an effort to clear up, involving the three distinct concepts of (1) Internet hoax; (2) Internet scam; (3) tin-foil hat delusions. Concept (1) is the kind of thing you find on snopes, like the tourist on the World Trade Center with the airplane heading at him. Those are spoofs deliberately manufactured to amuse or deceive. Neither NESARA item ("Dr." Barnard's idea nor the "secret bill to be announced imminently which will pay off all our mortgages with space alien currency") is that. The NESARA item in this VfD—Inigmatus' NESARA, found at [16]—is very marginally concept (3) and does not appear at all to be concept (2). The "other" NESARA item—Dove of Oneness's ravings at [17]—is very heavily concept (3) with a bit of concept (2) showing up as well. If either one is notable, or delete-worthy, it's for different reasons.
One other data point: Inigmatus says he is in the Denver area. -EDM 5 July 2005 21:07 (UTC)
It's just a bill, not a law. There are many thousands of bills every year. We neither need nor want articles on every one of them. Worse, it's not even a bill yet. It's an unsponsored "draft proposed bill" which, if the article is to be believed, espouses a fundamentally flawed theory about money. Unless someone can show much better evidence that this proposed bill is getting considerable public discussion or that NESARA has entered the public discourse, I have to vote "delete". Rossami (talk) 6 July 2005 00:32 (UTC)
- Perhaps you can back up your statement that the article espouses a "fundamentally flawed theory of money"? The hoax about serves as the appropriate level of public discourse. The purpose of this ariticle re-make was to make it clear to seperate the two since it would be in the public's best interest in investigating the hoax/scam or the proposed bill.168.103.83.38 6 July 2005 04:37 (UTC)
  - I can but it's not relevant to the discussion because being a "fundamentally flawed theory" is not a deletion criterion. My comment was an opinion that I probably should have reserved to the article's page. The only relevant question to the deletion debate is whether or not this theory (flawed or not) is sufficiently in the public debate or historical record to justify an encyclopedia article. So far, I have seen insufficient evidence. No change of vote. Rossami (talk) 6 July 2005 16:59 (UTC)
Comment: If this article is deleted, the related articles Harvey F. Barnard, NESARA Institute and the incorrectly named [[[Dr. Harvey F. Barnard]] should probably also be considered for deletion. Rossami (talk)
- I agree these should be deleted too. I looked on lexis/nexis again and "Harvey F. Barnard" gets 0 hits; "Harvey Barnard" gets two but neither are relevant (a name in a long list of names). I also note that Inigmatus is the user who uploaded that photo and there is no copyright information on it; I wonder if it is from a private collection and this is some sort of vanity page? The page says he died in May so Inigmatus probably is not Dr. Barnard himself though. I'm curious to see how Inigmatus responds next.--csloat 6 July 2005 00:59 (UTC)
- The information on the NESARA Institute website is public domain.168.103.83.38 6 July 2005 04:37 (UTC)
  - That photo is from the NESARA Institute website. So was essentially all of the text of the Harvey Barnard article, verbatim, till I cleaned it up. -EDM 6 July 2005 01:05 (UTC)
    
    The information taken from the NESARA Institute website is public domain, and I did post verbatim the bill description since it did a better job than I could have. Thanks for cleaning the article up. Guys, look, I'm not out to defend the thing to the death, I'm just pointing out that there is relevant information that this article, and now the split article also addresses in full what I think is perfectly within the public information scope of this wikipedia. This article was originally about the NESARA conspiracy theory and I thought I was doing a public service by pointing out that it was based from an original bill proposal that does have merit, and it would serve the public interest to know the difference.
    
    Unfortunately, I can't motivate hoax and urban legend websites to update their information as easily as I can wikipedia. If you advocate for the deletion of this article, then you're advocating for something that goes against the founding idea of this wiki: namely the suppression of relevant information. It doesn't matter who or what I am, (but I'm not with the NESARA Institute, and I'm not Dr. Barnard). I like the NESARA proposal, and I spent three days pouring over the information after first hearing about it from WorldNetDaily to see if this guys was legit or crackpot. I found he was legit. Moreover, when I spoke and corresponded with him just weeks before he died, the more I realized this guy has faced an uphill battle since the hoax came out in force 5 years ago. After taking the time to read his recently published book, which was also requested by members of the President's Advisory Panel for Federal Tax Reform, I offered to do what I could to set the public record straight wherever I found it, so when people start looking for it they don't see only info about some hoax, but also info about the legit bill. Now I see just how fustrating his own work was in this regard as I find people here in WP who without researching the issue simply now want to delete an article I modified with info about the legit bill, and so also now delete an entire article that has stood uncontested for over a year.
    
    Granted, this is wiki, and mercilessly information is modded and changed. However, I will do what I can to keep this relevant public information up in respect to a dying man's wish, and available to the pitifully duped uninformed NESARA community that has sprung up around the hoax version, and available to the public and Congress persons that NESARA is more than just a lame hoax, but is based off of something that is legit, and the public would like to be informed if they too knew there was a difference. There, I've said my two cents. Inigmatus July 6, 2005 04:38 (UTC)
I think there is enough substance and bare notability to the NESARA proposal to warrant an article of about two paragraphs, but certainly not more. If the article is slashed to that length (a task I may undertake, though not imminently) my vote would be keep. But as others have pointed out, the decision is bound up with the decision on the other NESARA article, the one dealing with the conspiracy-theory version of this proposal, which I personally don't have the will to deal with as just reading it makes me ill. -EDM 6 July 2005 05:05 (UTC)
- I've put a draft revised article text on the article's Talk page. -EDM 6 July 2005 05:59 (UTC)
  
  Nice - I think that seems reasonable given the arguments made here. Much better than what was here.-csloat 6 July 2005 06:51 (UTC)
  
  I agree and re-iterate my vote to keep. I expect the possibility of a minor editing war that might settle on something slightly longer eventually (which I won't take part in, my interest is with the conspiracy theory), but it accomplishes Inigmatus's apparent goal of distinguishing the proposal from the conspiracy theory and providing some background on the legislative proposal that originated the whole thing. -- sednar (talk • contribs)
  
  Consensus Reached I like the changes too. My edits would be to only add about two or three NESARA bill specific terms to the paragaphs. Otherwise, EDM go ahead and update the page with the changes, as it appears now there is a consensus. If no one else objects, I consider this VfD resolved in favor of Keep with EDM's revision. Anyone else concurr?Inigmatus July 6, 2005 14:36 (UTC)
Page edited and NPOV tag removed. I vote keep and invite Sednar to do something similar to the conspiracy theory article. -EDM 6 July 2005 15:54 (UTC)
Page updated with 50% more relevant information. What remains in the article is basically NESARA in a nutshell, and hopefully still true to NPOV form unless otherwise referenced.Inigmatus July 6, 2005 16:46 (UTC)

[edit] List of best selling female musicians

The current article is awful, not listing any sources whatever and just presenting a list as a fait accompli. That in itself is not sufficient reason to delete. However, the impossibility of creating an accurate list (let alone keeping it up to date) precludes this from ever becoming a useful article. Please refer to the Biggest-selling female musician article, and you will find that it is not even clear who should be number one on any such list, with at least five possible contenders! Compiling an accurate list of the top 10 bestsellers while it is so contentious as to who should occupy the number one slot (and this is not a dispute that is easy to resolve, depending greatly on both the definitions and sources being used) is simply impossible. If anything, the article ought to be replaced with a redirect to Biggest-selling female musician. I do not see that an accurate and verifiable list can ever be produced. --TheGrappler 30 June 2005 23:11 (UTC)

Delete. There are no references to back up these number. Record sales numbers are notoriously unreliable, as they mostly come from the record labels' marketing departments. Additionally, there are no links to this page. Pburka 30 June 2005 23:22 (UTC)

Comment why are people intending to push for the deletion of the article? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 1 July 2005 00:41 (UTC)
- Most of the links for sources provided in the article seem to be not working or no longer available. Plus, if CNN mentioned them, we would have found something like that already. So, I wish to place my vote in the delete column. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 1 July 2005 00:53 (UTC)
~~Keep~~ Strong Keep, I'm fed up with people getting bent out of shape just because the entry has the word "Nigger" in the title. --Jacj 1 July 2005 00:45 (UTC)
- I'm changing my vote to a strong keep because it turns out that this has been on VfD four times before, and this is just a blatant abuse of process. This VfD should be cancelled. --Jacj 1 July 2005 15:54 (UTC)
- Don't be silly. It's nothing to do with the name of the entry; it's non-notable, simple as that. --Convene 1 July 2005 00:51 (UTC)
Delete. Only 118 displayed hits for "Gay Nigger Association of America" (and many are Wikipedia mirrors)--way below the standard inclusion criteria. Nothing to do with the name, it's just simply not notable. Niteowlneils 1 July 2005 00:47 (UTC)

- It seems that someone has decided to strike this vote, which is good. Looking at the user page, I'd like this individual to respond to my allegations that pages such as 2 Sense, Sabrina Online and Supermegatopia are astoundingly less notable than the GNAA, who like them or not, have in fact achieved mass media recognition for some of their antics.
- None of which are actually criteria for speedy deletion... Rhobite July 1, 2005 05:46 (UTC)

Strong Keep. We've been over this before. View my comments on all previous VfD's for my justifications. Stop wasting our time. Ich July 1, 2005 06:13 (UTC)
Keep. Notable enough activities, and there are even more today than for the last VfD (the Tiger for Intel hoax, which was even mentioned on TV). Sam Hocevar 1 July 2005 06:18 (UTC)
KEEP And stop trying to get rid of it FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. After they just pulled the OSX x86 hoax, which got substantial media attention the last thing they should be called is 'non-notable'. It has already been decided, time and time again, that this article should not be deleted. You may not like what they do, but this is one of the best-written and most cross-referenced articles on Wikipedia. In fact if possible I vote that we completely block this page from ever being VFD'd again, because the process has been abused so frequently by people who don't like the organization. What part of "was not deleted over the course of 4 VFDs" don't you people understand?--TexasDex July 1, 2005 06:29 (UTC)
- ...one of the best-written and most cross-referenced articles on Wikipedia. What I do understand is that no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig it's not getting a contract at Warner Brothers. That it failed to be consigned to the bit bucket has less to do with its laughable notability or encyclopedic quality than it has to do with the fervor of its defenders. --Calton | Talk 1 July 2005 06:46 (UTC)
  - no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig. So you're saying that all articles about unpleasant, distasteful, or controversial topics should be deleted, no matter how informative and notable they are? And yes, this is notable, there's no point in arguing that anymore.--TexasDex July 1, 2005 06:58 (UTC)
STRONG KEEP - Four failed VFD's, this is becoming pointless. The TechTV clip is more media attention than Kikepedia will EVER get. What can you possibly say that hasn't already been said? A wise man once said about wikipedia, "they want a place where they're king, and open source doesn't fail it, and they get to control their own little bullshit." USELESS WASTE OF TIME.
- The TechTV clip is more media attention than Kikepedia will EVER get. That statement is not, as they, reality based. --Calton | Talk 1 July 2005 06:46 (UTC)
KEEP - The article has survived four previous VFD attempts. It's blatantly obvious that this new attempt is simply an abuse of power instigated by individuals who have a personal problem with the organization.
- As mentioned earlier, some people who start the VFD's might not have known about previous VFD's or had participated in this one. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 1 July 2005 06:35 (UTC)
  - Nice excuse, but that doesn't fly. Obviously this time the deleter is a sockpuppet account of chocolateboy, pgunn, or whoever else GNAA pissed off. And last I looked at the GNAA page, there was a HTML comment at the TOP OF THE ARTICLE (where you'd be putting the VFD template), mentioning that the article was in VFD 4 other times.

Keep. GNAA pulled a number of high-profile internet trolls which got media attention. Hell, for the OSX troll, someone was scanning random wireless AP's, and they saw a string of "GNAAGNAA" coming across the radio waves, you KNOW GNAA's popular when you pickup a random wifi signal and they're in the middle of being trolled by GNAA. And plz, stop abusing wikipedia policy and trying to delete this article. --Timecop 1 July 2005 06:37 (UTC)
KEEP - What a fine waste of Wikipedia's time. Again, keep for various reasons stated in previous vfds. --Lysol July 1, 2005 06:57 (UTC)

Keep. ~~~~ 1 July 2005 07:19 (UTC)
keep. I thought that this was just here, this has to be my 3rd time voting on this :p. If I had a Wikiwish - No VfD's on articles that survived a VfD with consensus for at least 6 months. It also prevents VfD trolling which may or may not be the case here. --ShaunMacPherson 1 July 2005 07:32 (UTC)
- That hypothetical policy wouldn't apply here. There has not been a consensus, one way or the other, about this article, in any of its VFD discussions. Uncle G July 1, 2005 10:24 (UTC)
Keep. We've been over this 4 times already. There's a big notice at the top of the page mentioning the previous VfDs, right where someone adding a VfD notice can't possibly miss it. Listing this on VfD was this user's first edits [18] besides updating his user page. Please don't waste everyone's time. Dave6 1 July 2005 07:48 (UTC)

Delete. Vote changed to Delete because somehow this doesn't meet the standard for a speedy deletion. And could someone please put strikethroughs through the anonymous/spoofed votes?

Delete. Notability not established. -- Joolz 1 July 2005 11:35 (UTC)

- Should I go VfD Al-Qaeda then? We certainly don't want to promote that that kind of behavior, do we? --TexasDex July 1, 2005 18:22 (UTC)
When I suggested it we were due for another GNAA VfD I didn't really think it would happen. Well, surviving 4 VfDs doesn't equal notability, nor does being a group of morons. But I'll be moderate and vote to merge (some) and redirect to Slashdot trolling phenomena. -R. fiend 1 July 2005 15:04 (UTC)
Keep. Notable. Can anyone name One other trolling organization on the same level as the GNAA? Oh and before it becomes an issue (I know you guys like to tell people that their vote doesn't count):67.187.107.207 1 July 2005 17:37 (UTC)
- Anyone can contribute to the discussion and vote, anonymous users as well as pseudonymous users.
- Please do not refactor the discussion into lists or tables of votes, however much you may think that this helps the process. Again, the votes are not the ends in themselves (Wikipedia is not a democracy). Both the context and the order of the comments are essential to understanding the intents of contributors, both at the discussion closure and during the discussion. Refactoring actually makes the job of making the decision at the closure of discussion much harder, not easier.67.187.107.207 1 July 2005 17:37 (UTC)

Keep, of course. Blatant trolling by way of VfD for an encyclopedic article on a notable trolling organization. Irony ensues. —RaD Man (talk) 7 July 2005 23:58 (UTC)
Keep. Shouldn't there be some equivalent of the "double jeopardy" provision here, where an article shouldn't have to face constant attempts to delete it? (Granted, the outcome of the past attempts seem to be more along the lines of hung juries and mistrials than acquittals.) *Dan* July 8, 2005 00:32 (UTC)
- Well, the reason why there is a double jeopardy provision in real life is because if you commit a crime, the nature of the crime cannot be changed in the future. However, an entry can be changed for the worse, and/or an initial VfD may have been so inundated with sockpuppets or abusive behaviour as to be useless. So I see nothing inherently wrong with multiple VfDs. There's a six month gap between this VfD and the last. That hardly seems abusive. --Jacj 8 July 2005 01:19 (UTC)
Keep. This article is about a subject that is indeed notable, seeing all of the trouble that they have caused in various places. Plus, they stand for all trolling on Slashdot as far as making articles about it, and they have as much as their own website and have, from what I have heard, gained quite some infamy. Oklonia 8 July 2005 00:39 (UTC)
Keep I say we keep this. It's totally worth it. Jsut becasue you don't read it in britanica, doesn't mean it's in valid, after all, I haven't seen Slashdot, Fark or even Wikipeida itself in Britanica. → (preceding unsigned comment posted by 70.64.30.170 on July 7, 2005 19:59 UTC)
Keep. I've watched this article for a while now and it's only improved. This is a pretty interesting troll organization, and though some say we shouldn't feed the trolls, if the trolls are notable (if only on Slashdot) then they should be mentioned here. —shoecream July 8, 2005 03:11 (UTC)
Strong Keep. Stop abuse of the VFD process. Seriously, 37+ people die in a TERRORIST attack on LONDON and all you people can do is attempt to delete a legitimate article that has already survived this process 4 times previously. GET SOME PRIORITIES!! GNAA Zeikfried 8 July 2005 07:36 (UTC)
Delete. The page does not establish notability of this group. Vanity. Threshold of inclusion for internet groups should be higher than for other pages, since their proponents (members of the group in question) are more likely to round up support on the web than proponents of other pages. Equal standards will likely result in Wikipedia being biased towards internet vanity pages such as this. Please move this vote to the VfD page when the unilateral blocking of the VfD by an admin has been reverted . Martg76 2 July 2005 07:39 (UTC)

[edit] Stefan Rahmstorf

del. average professor. No notability presented. mikka (t) 1 July 2005 00:50 (UTC)

Weak delete - but bordering on weak keep - the linked website indicates that he's had an awful lot of small things published (listed here), including book chapters, but no books. Still, that strikes me as a more significant body of work than the average prof. Needs verification as to accuracy of the list and importance of the work. -- BD2412 ^talk July 1, 2005 01:39 (UTC)
Weak keep based on article, but probably a clearer keep if it would be expanded. His name gets 8,860 Google hits, at least the first few of which all appear to concern the correct SR, and he is a professor at a German university, which automatically puts him a few pinholes above the "average college professor" level. Also: "In 1999 Rahmstorf was awarded the $ 1 million Centennial Fellowship Award of the US-based James S. McDonnell foundation."[19] Is that award something they give to anyone? Tupsharru 1 July 2005 08:22 (UTC)
Keep - obviously. Mikka, is there some malice in these VFDs? [Also: added some pubs. 9 pubs in Nature/Science is fairly good going]. William M. Connolley 2005-07-01 09:07:11 (UTC).
- I think there must have been some discussion concerning the criteria for keeping a particular professor, but I can't find it on the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Policy consensus/Conclusions page. Nor can I find any criteria concerning notability on the Wikipedia:Deletion policy or the Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not pages. So I can't locate a clear policy regarding whether a particular professor should be kept or not. Personally I'm in favor of keeping any pages that are of good quality and have a decent and interesting information content. So I to vote to keep. — RJH 1 July 2005 15:43 (UTC)
