[edit] 2011 Atlantic hurricane season
This article provides no useful information. Hurricane name lists are reused every six years. This, this year's (2005) will be reused in this year (2011), except for retired names. Since everyone knows that there will be retired names, no one will know this year's list until spring, 2006. Therefore, this article is a waste of space and there is nothing whatsoever that can be put in it to make it useful.

- Delete I think the rule regarding these articles should be if the NHC has storm names for them, otherwise how do you know which names there will be? [1] --Revolución (talk) 22:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- No, actually it is specifically mentioned as something encyclopedic. Look again. "Lists of tropical cyclone names is encyclopedic; "Tropical storm Alex, 2010" is not" --CastAStone 14:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alanis Morissette: The Collection
First, it's a greatest-hits record, and thus explictly excluded as notable or deserving an article in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. Secondly, it hasn't yet been released, so doesn't exist (Wikipedia is not a crystal ball). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete (or redirect to Alanis Morisette). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable album with verifiable information to be released shortly. Further, the guidelines referred to by Mel Etitis make no mention of any notability guides for albums. There seems to be no mention that I could find on Wikiproject Albums of this guideline. I have heard reference to such a guideline but it would be useful to see it confirmed. Capitalistroadster 01:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Guideline is here:
-
-
- You can link to normal studio albums as much as you want. Caveat 1: Unless there's extenuating circumstances, greatest hits and compilation albums don't need an article. Jkelly 02:12, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Keep, verifiable, of interest to Alanis fans, and has a new track. Kappa 01:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Merge any useful information to Alanis Morisette. Jkelly 02:12, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: it seems odd to have an article for every album, and even singles, a well known artist has produced, except for a greatest hits album. They usually only have one or two greatist hits, so it wouldn't mean a whole lot of new articles. Plus, an article would let you know which tracks are included on the album. I won't go against policy though, at least not for Alanis Morisette. -- Kjkolb 08:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep --Rogerd 12:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep It seems that this is 'the' official GH collection as opposed to one of many patchwork collections, therefore indicating extenuating circumstance. Also, album will be released soon enough to negate 'crystal ball' arguement. Youngamerican 18:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: the cited guideline is for a wikiproject, not Wikipedia as a whole, and regardless, I disagree with it. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 14:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per Jkelly. Zhatt 20:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I note that there are already hundreds of Wikipedia articles on artists' greatest hits albums. I also note that in many cases -- including, to all appearances, this one -- a greatest hits album often contains at least one or two songs that have never appeared on a studio album. And I note that a greatest hits album is often one of the biggest-selling (and thereby inherently notable) albums of an artist's career. And "not a crystal ball" is a pretty pointless argument to make for an album whose release is only a month away, and whose advance publicity and advertising has already gone out. (It's also a rather silly argument to make when we already have an article about Kate Bush's Aerial, and we've had an article about the just-released-last-week Broken Social Scene since February.) Finally, I note that "studio albums vs. greatest hits" seems a pretty absurd distinction to draw, and an unenforceable one -- if there isn't an article about this, somebody will create another one, and another one, and another one. All in all, I just don't see a convincing argument for deletion here. Keep. Bearcat 05:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. One albumbox colour is reserved for "greatest hits, box sets and other compilations", so they are allowed here. Also, there is enough reliable information about this album available. -Hapsiainen 16:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. There's no reason not to. M.C. Brown Shoes 13:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. just to respond to some of the points. First, it's not that articles on compilations aren't allowed, only that they're discouraged unless there's some special reason (I don't see one here). Secondly, I don't understand why it's so outrageous to suggest that people wait until an album exists before creating an article; we're not some newspaper desperately trying to scoop the opposition. Thirdly, that there are thousands of other articles on non-notable (and not-yet released) albums and singles isn't a good reason for adding another. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:38, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. This album exists. Release has been confirmed by the official website and they've even released cover art and track listing. It'll be out in roughly a month. How much more do you need for it to be real? It's also a notable release because it contains her new single, a cover of a Seal song, multiple new remixes, and is also her first ever compilation. M.C. Brown Shoes 06:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alice-Blue (color)
-
- The following was created on October 5, but was not listed on AfD. -Nameneko 21:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
There is no useful information on this article and the colour shown is nothing like the "Alice Blue" shown in the Alice Roosevelt Longworth article. Zhatt 18:36, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment the ***colour*** in this article is as quoted on http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/colors/colors.asp The Alice Roosevelt Longworth article seems not to quote any source at all for its version of this ***colour***. Tonywalton | Talk 01:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete nn colourDlyons493 Talk 22:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)- Comment I'd never heard of this song - no objection to a Merge Dlyons493 Talk 02:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- '
Merge' to List of colors.The colour is notable as mentioned in a song dating from 1919 (with which my granny used to sing me to sleep. Ahhhh). Tonywalton | Talk 01:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)- You can not merge to the list of colours. The list only lists colours that have aticles, so if you merge it, there is no more artivle to list. Zhatt 03:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
-
-
- Good point. Keep, then. Tonywalton | Talk 15:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Keep. This color name was certainly notable in the late teens and twenties and has become one of the standard "named colors" used in web browsers. The difference between the color shown in the Alice Roosevelt Longworth article and the standard HTML (F0F8FF) given in this article is understandable. There was never a "precise definition" of the color, generally known as a light blue-gray, until it was used within a system such as HTML. Fabric dyers of the early 20th century probably just used whatever could pass for light blue-gray. Dystopos 17:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- It should probably be renamed Alice Blue after the AfD, though. Dystopos 17:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've done some cleanup. Those who may have voted to delete because of the state of the article might want to take a second look. Dystopos 17:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- I still don't understand why this Alice Blue is not the same as this Alice Blue. Zhatt 23:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- There's no reason they should be exactly the same. There's also no reason they should be different. Alice didn't provide the CMYK values of her gowns and so any light blue-gray is properly called "Alice Blue", except in the context of X11/HTML. Dystopos 23:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Alice Roosevelt Longworth and remove this image as per Tonywalton's source. Zhatt 23:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Comment I'm not sure that's appropriate, to be honest. As Dystopos says, prior to X11, HTML, and standardisation of all things, "Alice Blue" wouldn't have been anything defined to the one-in-sixteen-millionth part as it is now. Perhaps the Alice Longworth article (or rather the caption to the image) shouldn't state quite so categorically that this is "Alice Blue", is all. I'd ask my granny which one she thought was more "Alice Blue", but she passed away twenty-odd years ago. Tonywalton | Talk 22:28, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- The way I see it, we need to figure out if this is a real color or not. If it isn't, delete the article and reword the Alice Longworth article as not to hint that it is. If it is a color, than all information can be in the Alice Longworth article with the List of colors pointing there. Either way, this article does not need to be here. Zhatt 23:13, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Depends what you mean by a "real" colour. "Alice Blue" is certainly a "real" colour, per
-
- the Longworth article,
- its having been chosen as a colour name for browsers,
- the early 20th century song,
- my late granny.
-
- Note however that the Microsoft reference I cited also names "official" colours like "linen", "blanched almond", "ghost white", "misty rose" and "brown". I'd defy anyone to say "those boots are not brown because they are not RGB #A52A2A", "that rose is not sufficiently misty according to the W3C colour definitions". or to find a ghost for comparison. There are two things here, really - a "real" (as in "named as such by browser suppliers") colour called "aliceblue" and a range of colours into which both these grey-blue colours fall. Perhaps the Longworth article shouldn't state categorically that "this is Alice Blue", but the issue we're voting on is whether or not to delete the Alice-Blue (color) article. My vote is above. Tonywalton | Talk 23:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hum. You make a good point. I can admit when I'm wrong. Keep than. There was a rash of fake colors a while ago and I guess I was still on delete-colors-mode. Zhatt 23:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

- At risk of further obfuscation, I recently did a comparison of four different ways that "Union Flag (Royal) Blue" is defined per "The Flag Institute" and a similar exercise regarding the specifications for "Crimson" used by Harvard University and the University of Alabama. In the big picture, there's no way to put up an image on Wikipedia and say "This is the color _____". Definitions vary by medium and use. Displays vary. Perceptions vary. What we DO know, is that "Alice Blue" is a notable concept, and was once much more notable than "Bondi blue" or "UPS brown". Dystopos 00:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] American nationalism
- Anonymous vote Somebody's POV rant. Has no place on Wikipedia.
Keep I created this article, and I vote keep because it is a notable topic. Many other countries have articles like Countryname nationalism, so I don't see how America would be an exception. --Revolución (talk) 22:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)- Delete. There might well be a place for a non-POV article on this subject. This isn't one. Tonywalton | Talk 23:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC) (not, by the way, an American, politically or geographically)
- Delete. I hate Republicans too, but that is no excuse for a poorly written, biased, inflamatory article that doesn't actually say anything at all about American nationalism. linas 23:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment I was away from Wikipedia for a while so I didn't have the chance to revert any vandalism. I come back and check the history and vandals were putting all sorts of nonsense on it. This is an encyclopedic topic. Maybe my POV was too biased, but I was willing to make the article better. I would suggest the next time somebody has a problem with the POV to just discuss it on the talk page, something which wasn't done so people need to follow the procedure next time. I didn't even know there was already an article for it, so just redirect it there. --Revolución (talk) 00:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

This article is the same as Asamushi-Onsen Station except for the Station part.

[edit] Babukishan
Krishnendu das aka Babukishan, an Bangladeshi Indian Bengali musician. Originally posted by User:Krishnendu das so clearly self-promotion. Is he notable? (Ignore the copyvio aspect - I am satisfied it is posted by the original author or with his approval.) -- RHaworth 08:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Is this {{PotentialVanity}} ? Ian Cairns 10:10, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Delete: A google search revealed an article in Times of India on the person, but other than that, I found only self promotional material. I'd suggest a delete of the article, unless other proofs of notability have been put forward. --Ragib 02:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

- I said please ignore the copyvio aspect. He has posted this or similar all over the web. It is of course an insult to Wikipedia (which should be introduced as a speedy criterion) to post crude copy and pastes from elsewhere. But first, can we please have a judgement on his notability. -- RHaworth 08:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Neutral, I've never heard of him, but all the same it would be better to ask user:Ragib User:Nichalp/sg 18:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've done that already. See Ragib's vote above. Tintin 18:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- As I said in my talk page, I haven't heard of him before, but that may be because he is from West Bengal,India. At least in Bangladesh, he is totally unknown/non notable.

[edit] Bella Goth
This afd accompanies List of Pre-Made Characters in The Sims and The Langrabb Family as non-notable fancruft; a proper search using Google produces only 941 results.

[edit] Black & White 2 tweaking
Violates no original research policy --Yamla 21:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
RE: The No original research policy represents a different type of data. First of all, this information is not researched. It is simply a very intuitive guide on how to very specifically manipulate a certain data file. It is verafiable, and has no POV whatsoever. The page has nothing to do with original research. It is not scientific or academic, but rather technical in nature. Therefore, this is not a valid application of the no original research policy. -- Unsigned comment from User:IronLion45 at 21:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- I disagree with your interpretation of the no original research policy. Your work creates a primary source. It is uncited. No exemption seems to exist for technical research as opposed to scientific. Regardless, we'll see how the votes go. I suppose it could be a long-standing tradition for the Wikipedia to allow technical guides here but I have not seen any other such article. I believe this would be more appropriate on a site like Planet Black & White. --Yamla 21:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Caffeinism
This page barely survived a VfD on no concensus, and now that the articles overly protective author (who spammed the entire wiki with his website) no longer seems to be editing, I'm listing it again
The article is neologistic, and uses a term not used outside the Wikipedia for the use it pertains to be (it is used for caffeine addiction but not poisoning). The article was originally written to promote a website, which is no longer linked from that page. Kiand 21:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to the caffeine addiction page. Jtmichcock 23:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- You mean the section of the main Caffeine article I have behind that piped redirect? Caffeine addiction links the article this AfD is on, oddly enough - going to re-redirect it, as its the wrong content. --Kiand 23:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- keep I disagree; "caffeinism" appears in the American Heritage Dictionary [4] as the toxic condition. Maybe there is some merging to be done, but this is a decent and sourced article with no violation of the deletion policy. — brighterorange (talk) 23:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per Brighteroerange. Good article with verifiable references on notable condition. Capitalistroadster 01:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Brighterorange. The term also shows up in Medline in at least six article titles, and the summaries of at least three of those seem to be referring to a toxic condition. (e.g. people with paranoid delusions, cardiac arrhythmia, etc. Crypticfirefly 05:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This article has problems and should never have survived the original VFD. First, it's weasely: "Caffeinism has been defined as the poisoning resulting from excessive intake of caffeine". Yeah, OK, who defines it that way? Second, this section is a red herring: "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) states: "The 4 caffeine-induced psychiatric disorders include caffeine intoxication, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, and caffeine-related disorder not otherwise specified (NOS)." Notice that DSM-IV doesn't ever use the term caffeinism. Third, the single online reference given never uses the term caffeinism either. It's not wikipedia's job to push neologistic original research. Quale 06:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as it seems to be real and used outside Wikipedia and its mirrors, even if it isn't widely used by medical professionals. Cleanup if necessary. -- Kjkolb 08:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- The term is used. But for something -completely different-. Which is something nobody on this or the previous VfD seemed to notice. Its not used for what this article claims it is, this article is utterly neologistic. --Kiand 09:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- If someone could point me to one of these "other uses", I'll rewrite the article around it. --Carnildo 19:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- The only time this term is ever used is in a neologistic sense for caffeine addiction, not what the article content implies. It should not be rewritten, possibly redirected to the same section of caffeine as caffeine addiction currently is - or have that spun off into a seperate article, rather than leaving a trail of pseudoscience behind it. --Kiand 19:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Mertz
This page was up for deletion once before but I decided to list it again. The article seem to be a total vanity article. When discussing whether or not to delete the article before, the subject of the article, who is User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters was asked to refrain from editing the article. He has been unable to do so and has made almost weekly edits to it changing wordings, listing himself as in categories (such as philosopher) which he may or may not actually be qualified as. He did seem to appear in a few Google searches, but that's not very hard to do. I myself have published books, have taught classes, and have many of the same qualifications as this man seems to have, but I don't feel the need to glorify myself or make a completely vanity-like article. The fact that this user himself is the one who's done most of the workl on the article, and has made the majority of the edits, especially after being asked not to do so, is troubling to me and puts the reputation of wikipedia at stake. {See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Mertz/Archive for the previous deletion vote) --ScottyBoy900Q 15:35, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- I would urge editors to read Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies, which reads in part: Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more. (Note also that ScottyBoy900Q has recently nominated himself for administratorship: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ScottyBoy900Q).
- My book on Addison-Wesley has sold about 3500 printed copies to-date (but has just gone to second printing in the last week), but has been downloaded approximately 70,000 times in its electronic version. The website gnosis.cx is essentially exclusively for archival publications of my articles first published in other places. It has received visits from approximately 750k distinct IP addresses (which only loosely correlates with eyeballs, of course). However, the original publishers, chiefly IBM developerWorks, O'Reilly ONLamp[6], and Intel's (now terribly unorganized) developer site, certainly receive more readers on first publication (of my articles specifically) than does my archival site. So in other words, my readership is approximately two orders of magnitude beyond the (admittedly minimal) recomendation WP provides for notability.
- I took a look at Google Scholar for my name. It's a cool tool; I haven't really used it before. There seems to be a "DB Mertz" who is an ethologist, and is not me. But looking through the 67 basic hits, I see that 38 of them are really about me. Fewer than half of those concern any work for IBM. It appears that I have a number of citations and acknowledgement related to my philosophy work that I had not been aware of. Cool! See: [7]
- Also of interest—at least to me—is Google Print. See: [8]. Interestingly, all of the 11 books that contain my name in their text are genuinely references to me. It's delightful to me (for vanity reasons) that books as diverse as Women's Health Solutions, Understandings of Russian Foreign Policy, Philosophy of Science and Its Discontents, Python Cookbook: 2nd Edition, Fear, Truth, Writing: From Paper Village to Electronic Community, and Sexual Investigations all mention me. Mostly just by way of brief acknowledgments or citations of a single paper; I'm certainly not claiming that any of those are significantly about me.
- The basic "Google test" shows about 85k hits on my name, about 95% are to me rather than someone else sharing my name. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 05:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Google Scholar turns up some half-dozen hits (admittedly in IBM publications) so I don't feel it's total vanity although it is somewhat self-promotional. I too am disturbed by the edit pattern, but it did fairly clearly survive the previous Afd and the request there by Smoddy (Rabbit and pork)that Lulu not edit the page further can hardly be taken as binding. Dlyons493 Talk 16:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- Strong keep. This is just absurd (again). Yeah I'm the guy the article is about, and I've done a number of small edits on it, but the substantial content was written by our fine admin SlimVirgin (and contributions by other top-notch editors). But either way, "David Mertz" is both meaningfully discussed in a bunch of Wikipedia articles (on computer programming-ish topics), and read by hundreds of thousands of readers (a magnitude more than watch the minor porn actors with articles, or ever attended some high school with an article). I mean, 85,700 google results on "David Mertz" isn't an accident (about 95% are the right david mertz). Nor is the high Alexa rating on the site gnosis.cx where my articles get archived. Contrary to my "sworn enemy" Jguk, my contributions to Wikipedia are completely non-notable in this article, and that's why they are not mentioned. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Just the fact that you're so dedicated to making sure the article stays seems to justify my claim that its for vanity. I have a degree in history...does that mean I should list myself amongst the most notable 20th century historians and create an article about myself...no! You just don't seem significant enough to warrant having your own article. The very idea that you edit it and keep editing it to me indicates its just for self promotion. If we made a page for every minor person who works in every occupation, we'd have so many rubbish articles. Where do we draw the line? --ScottyBoy900Q 17:32, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- I am too much biased to actually put forth my opinion on this matter, but I say, as an administrator, that this is by no means a speedy keep. I cannot see any way in which it is in bad faith. [[Sam Korn]] 17:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep clearly meets the criteria for notability and verifiability. Fawcett5 20:22, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: Although this may sound fan-boyish and David has pointed the AfD request out to me, but I do find David Mertz to be notable, especially in programmer circles (3 hits on Slashdot on his name is notable in my book). He is a widely read, widely cited, widely published author. Then there is the Open Voting Consortium; David is the CTO and was recently nominated for the Open Source for Elections panel of the State of California, together with Bruce Perens. Now, if Bruce Perens came over to make some edits on his bio page, should we boot that article as well? --MJ(☎|@|C) 20:40, 9 October 2005 (UTC).
- Keep. I don't think that articles on people should have to jump hrdles set higher than video-game characters, American villages, or pop singles; this article would in fact jump hurdles much higher than any of those, and (as Fawcett5 and others have commented) clearly meets the normal criteria for notability and verifiability. jguk says: "If Mertz was not a wikipedia contributor this would be a slam-dunk delete"; I don't actually understand the refernce (I think that it's to basketball, but that's the best I can do), though I understand its general meaning — and it's surely the other way round: if the subject weren't a Wikipedia contributor no-one would have thought to delete the article. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

The fact that he has is, frankly, disappointing, and such practices are fairly clearly discouraged throughout Wikipedia. Jimbo manages to refrain from it, despite being professedly disappointed with the state of his article. In terms of notability, I last time was of the view that the balance of evidence brought to light favours it, but I'm less convinced given that there only seems to be work within an IBM context. Slac speak up! 03:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ah well, votes is votes. But the guideline at Wikipedia:Autobiography is just: If you do so, please only add verifiable information and be especially careful to respect the neutral point of view. Noting objections or corrections on the talk page may be appropriate. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- NULL Jeff says this person is not notable. margit mueller merkey 03:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC) (Not a sockpuppet of merkey, was my wife, and she can vote). Gadugi 16:37, 13 October 2005 (UTC) I talked to my wife and she says withdraw her vote since I told her how to vote, so it probably should not count. Gadugi 22:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- To nuance this vote: Jeff Merkey is in dispute over the contents of his biography with the editors of the article, of whom Lulu is one (and so am I). He escalated this to a Request For Arbitration (now rejected, link is to a past version) and this vote is most likely retaliation. --MJ(☎|@|C) 09:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC).
- Delete. paul klenk talk 16:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, per Google Scholar hits, sales and him being highly cited and referenced outside (and to a certain degree within) Wikipedia (also see reasoning of other keep voters). If his editing his own article is a problem you could try getting a binding decision on it, but published authors like him are quite notable enough for an entry. Disclosure: Lulu contacted me, but I don't remember any prior contact with him, so I think I'm still objective in the matter. - Mgm|(talk) 17:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep: the subject is clearly a sufficiently interesting character that not having an article on him might prove embarrassing later. On a purely personal basis, noting the style of opposition on the talk page, I'm not inclined to give in to non-verifiable slurs. If a certain user can justify their problem with the article (not with David/Lulu himself) with rather more substance and less whining I might be inclined to take it more seriously. —Phil | Talk 14:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

- Why are you draggin' me into this as a deletionist? If the article can be cleaned-up, devanitized, and uncensored, I'd probably want to keep it. Davey's only cliam to notability is as a political activist, and it's censorship to keep removing references to his unsavory sociopolitical comments about Jews and Israel. Tanya!

- Keep. I agree that if he weren't a Wikipedia editor, this article would unquestionably be kept. Also, voting "delete because I don't like the edits he's made" makes very little sense. AfD isn't the place to dispute the content of an article. Go edit the article or its talk page. RSpeer 18:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- keep - sufficiently notable to justify inclusion--User:AYArktos | Talk 21:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I have no reason to doubt that this AfD was brought in good faith. However, while I had personally never heard of David Mertz, there is sufficient evidence of notability, through google searches, and online bookshop searches, etc. His book "usually ships within 24 hours" at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. (The more obscure titles have "usually ships within two months, but may not be available at all".) The book seems to be popular and to sell well. Obviously, it was against Wikipedia policy for Lulu to have started the article, but he explained in the first AfD that he was unaware of that policy at the time. If there are POV problems or factual errors, the article can be edited. Ann Heneghan (talk) 22:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. David Mertz, how can you see you have only added "minor" edits to the page when not only did you start the page but continued adding until half the history is your edits? --Fir0002 07:42, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Fir0002, do you have a rationale to delete the article? If you object to the content that David added to the article, take it to the talk page or edit the article. RSpeer 19:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- OK, I thought my question was pretty self explanatory, but to put it formally, I vote to delete because I belive it is a vanity article. --Fir0002 08:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- As is noted in the article talk page (and the prior failed VfD), I did not write the article. I copies it from a bio at another wiki that discusses various computer people. Yeah, I performed the cut-and-paste, but not the composition. In any case, take a look at the edits: I made pretty many, but they're stuff like typos and wikification, overwhelmingly... nothing that even comes close to NPOV issues. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well I certainly don't think that it should have been you who copyed the text to make an article on yourself. --Fir0002 08:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- How is this comment even remotely relevant to the notability of the article subject? If an editor edited improperly, the proper mechanism is RfC. Of course, there is no prohition on autobiography editing if it meets NPOV; so the case is tenuous anyway. But even if true, it's irrelevant to an AfD. 71.208.214.195 20:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well I certainly don't think that it should have been you who copyed the text to make an article on yourself. --Fir0002 08:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep based on substantiated non-trivial (though not major) notability. Edit pattern isn't directly relevant to whether we should keep the article. Merkey controversy isn't relevant to whether we should keep the article. Tanya R's conflict over things the subject said or wrote outside his area of notability isn't relevant to whether we should keep the article. Barno 19:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Whaddya mean, "outside his area of notability"? He doesn't meet the criteria as an above-average academic or as an author. (That 70000 number he claims doesn't count; no-name bands have given away 250000 free downloads of albums that they couldn't sell 250 of.) If Lulu's notable, it's for his politics, and it's wrong to see the article get consored in that area. Tanya! Ravine 20:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for reasons I just said. There are more important committees in California then the one he's supposed to be appt'd to but their members don't get articles. Tanya! Ravine 20:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- It's interesting that Tany Ravine argues that all these utterly non-notable things about my alleged political beliefs (nothing I really believe, of course) ought to be in the article; but then argues the article should be deleted because those non-notable things might be included. (david mertz)
- Keep based on the qualifying publishing information and minor notability. The difference between Wikipedia and other encyclopedias is that we are not constrained by space and thus can include minor notables if they meet some basic criteria. This was on the fence of keep/weak keep for me, but ultimately I think it should stay. (el_amante) 19:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject and the article cannot be judged separately, and in this case, the article is clear self-promotion. I believe that the only reason we do not have a specific policy against editors working on their own articles is the clear unenforceability of such a policy. Chick Bowen 02:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- How does this even remotely make sense?! If you think David Mertz is a bad person, add the text "David Mertz is an asshole" to the article (if you think such can meet WP:NPOV and WP:V). If you think Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters is a bad editor, create an RfC or the like. But how can either thing being even slightly relevant to the obvious notability of the article subject? 71.208.214.195 19:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Minor notability established. El_C 03:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. More google hits for David Mertz than many articles/bios on wikipedia. IMO, Lulu editing the article is, however, not ideal. Banes 10:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

hisher vote above. So it looks perfectly proper now for Jeff to cast one delete vote; it's not for us to proclaim motives (as obvious as they are in this case). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 16:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- I SEE that this self-serving article is the result of WP:AB all over the place. It's the ultimate in hipocrosy to revert edits in other articles under claims of WP:AB when this popinjay article dressed in the plumage of a peacock is paraded around on WP. This article is an eyesore on the internet and should be deleted. 67.137.28.187 19:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- I ordered several of this authors books from Amazon and ohter sources, and they are so rife with credits to the work of others, I would suggest that only 10% of their content is by the author. The remaining 90% of their content appears to be blatant plagaurism from the work of others. Note Notable. Delete stands, and not on the basis of retaliation. 67.137.28.187 19:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

- Alas, I've only published on book that can be obtained from Amazon. So I guess Jeff bought several copies of the same title just to make sure they all contained the same "plagurism [sic]". :-) (david mertz)
- Delete violation of WP:AB, vanity. First edit written by Lulu. More than half the edits are additional entries by Lulu and few of those to revert erroneous information.--MONGO 05:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete. Autobiography. I'm surprise that a person, with PhD training, think that it is okay to write an article of himself in wikipedia. It is clear violation of independence and nature of encyclopedia, and filled with conflict of interest. Keeping this article is an extreme risk to the credibility of wikipedia. So, the reviews we get will be "In wikipedia, some biography articles were written by the subjects themselves". Do you guys want this to happen?

- They also didn't have an article for Kyabetsu Taro until yesterday. After I translated it into Japanese it was put on a list of "new food-related articles". Maybe I'll do "Don Tacos" next. Another one today, Japanese map symbols, was not on Japanese wikipedia either, it was a red link on one of their pages, and I translated that into Japanese (it's since been heavily added to by another editor). If you'll look on my user page under "Japanese Wikipedia" you'll find two more examples of articles about Japanese language which didn't exist there until I translated them. As a matter of fact, several of the articles on Japanese language here in the English wikipedia are a lot more comprehensive than theirs. So, it seems, strange but true, Japanese Wikipedia is not yet the fount of all human knowledge. But anyway, thankyou for your comments. --DannyWilde 06:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Why look, THAT article is up for deletion also. And the fact that you added it to the Japanese Wikipedia means nothing -- hell, it means less than nothing; having to gin up a rationale doesn't exactly help your case. --Calton | Talk 06:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- I'm very sorry, but which article are you referring to? I have just checked the Japanese version of kyabetsu taro, the Japanese map symbols article, and the English map symbols article, and none of them have notices saying they are being put up for deletion. Is there something I'm not aware of? --DannyWilde 02:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Without putting words in DannyWilde's mouth, I think the point he was making is that using the presence of an article in the Japanese Wikipedia as a litmus test for cultural validity in Japan is not foolproof. Otherwise, we have to say that Pikachu is not culturally significant in Japan, since it doesn't have a page of its own in Japanese (but it does in several other languages -- are you planning an AFD for those too?). In Japanese, it is relegated to a catalog list of other pokemon characters ja:ポケモン一覧 from a redirect. I'm not against merging the snack foods in a similar way (or, the plethora of pokeon characters that populate the en wikipedia), but I am against deleting an article with >30k google hits. - Neier 08:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, exactly. For example, "edomoji", a type of Japanese lettering used in sumo, kabuki, and other Japanese arts like rakugo, was not in the Japanese wikipedia until I translated it. There were just some red links. Edomoji are undoubtedly culturally significant by any standards, and they just weren't there at all. Absolutely nothing existed in the Japanese wikipedia until I made that article. Whether it's in the Japanese wikipedia or not means nothing, really, since there is no guarantee that the Japanese wikipedia is comprehensive. I suppose Dforest would suggest deleting the edomoji article from the English wikipedia too, if he can't find enough links about edomoji in English on Google. --DannyWilde 02:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

- I agree that an article on Japanese snack foods would be a good idea (if it doesn't exist somewhere already), but how can you advocate either deleting stubs that have information of interest or merging the information with an article that doesn't exist? How can you merge one thing with nothing? Sounds the same as deleting it to me. If you're so concerned about the creation of an article on Japanese snack foods, why don't you create one yourself? That would be more productive than holding these votes where there is an obvious interest in the articles, as the vote count suggests. CES 11:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

A redirect to a larger and more comprehensive article on Japanese snack foods would serve just as well until someone is both able and willing to write an full article on this particular snack food and its culrutal signifcance in Japan. Caerwine 22:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I live in Tokyo, and, to be blunt, I find this whole discussion bordering on the insane -- There is no cultural significance to this particular snack food, any more so than Belgian or Dutch Doritos knock-offs (and yes, they exist and I've seen those). Pocky Sticks, yes; Calpis, yes; Taco rice, yes; Don Tacos, no. (forgot to sign: --Calton | Talk 06:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC))
- I have no idea whether Don Tacos are culturally significant. If you are going to delete or merge articles based on their "lack of cultural significance", good luck, you only have about 700,000 articles on Wikipedia to delete until you are finished. Let's hope no one makes anymore articles about snacks in the meantime, otherwise you certainly will have your hands full. --DannyWilde 06:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Buh? That was the biggest load of non-sequitor I've seen all month. To quote Wolfgang Pauli, "That's not right; that's not even wrong." So your false dichotomy is EVERYTHING is culturally significant or NOTHING is culturally significant? Because that's the only meaning that makes even the tiniest shred of sense in that context. --Calton | Talk 06:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- As a matter of fact it was my poor attempt at humour. I'm sorry you don't like the article and feel it is not useful to you, but I think that this information could be useful for other people. It would be a shame if the information were deleted, I think. It could be merged into a larger article, perhaps, but I don't see what harm it is doing as a small article in its own right. Quite often, merged articles end up being rather unreadable and unfocused. Take a look at Planet of the Apes, where the article tries to extensively describe a novel and a rather different film in the same page, with rather poor consequences for readability and focus. As for significance, Wikipedia contains things like individual articles for every single episode of the Simpsons cartoons, individual articles on particular trees, and individual articles on streets and roads in cities. I don't see why it can't tolerate a few dozen articles on the snack foods eaten by a country with a population of 120 million people. Most of the Japanese snacks don't have particularly much in common with each other anyway. The wagashi article already deals with traditional Japanese sweets, and then there are individual pages for most of the wagashi anyway. The List of Japanese snack foods could be extended into a longer article if there is some common point in all of these snacks which needs to be dealt with together I suppose. Anyway I say to people who are interested in doing that, why not go and edit the relevant pages, instead of discussing doing it here? Actions speak louder etc. --DannyWilde 02:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Franz-Benno Delonge
Substub article. Subject has about 23,100 hits on Google, which seems impressive but for the fact that only about 530 of those are unique pages [9]. Also, most of those pages are passing references ([10]) or lists of board games and their designers ([11]). The German-style board games article's list of designers has more than half of them as red links, so I don't see what there is about Mr. Delonge that makes him more worthy of an article than the others. An example of a more notable designer might be Reiner Knizia, because of his listing on the Internet Top 100 Games List. Quicksandish τκ 17:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. This article appears to be correct in that it is a dish: however, whether a person likes it is of limited interest. However, What Links Here indicates that it is both a dish apparently served on skewers and towns or villages in Greece. I think that a disambiguation page is the best solution for this article but it would be good if we had a Greek person give their opinion.Capitalistroadster 23:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- In that case, we should look at delinking the cuisine dishes that point here as in most cases they also refer to souvlaki. Looking at the Times Atlas, there are at least two Greek towns or villages of that name: a small town in Thessalia and a town in Zakynthos which has become a resort. A disambiguation page referring to the dish and these towns or villages would be appropriate. Capitalistroadster 00:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kaleidoscopic fractal
The term "kaleidoscopic fractal" appears to be a neologism with no precise definition, and the current loose definition is difficult to apply. All fractals have symmetry, and can be drawn with rich color. Use of the term "kaleidoscope" seems to imply that the fractal has a point symmetry group, but no examples are given. In google, almost all of the hits seem to be to this WP page, or its copies in places like answer.com, etc. linas 23:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: do any of these search results help? I modified it to exclude most of the mirrors. It seems to be used as "Kaleidoscopic fractal art" on several pages. Here's a definition from one of the results: A design that can be described in two words as kaleidoscopic, "a constantly changing set of colors, shapes, phases or events", and fractal, "a non-linear geometric figure sensitive to it's initial conditions." Is this any better? If not, delete as per linas. -- Kjkolb 08:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, astonishingly famous - try asking any Japanese person about it. Should not be deleted any more than Momoe Yamaguchi should be - if you haven't heard of Momoe, it is hardly surprising. If you can find a single Japanese person who HASN'T heard of her - even more astonishing. Same goes for "cabbage taro". --DannyWilde 22:15, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- So what you're arguing is that if it doesn't already appear in English, it isn't worth mentioning about. --DannyWilde 10:24, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- What I am arguing is that it is a regional snack food that is rarely exported outside Japan. Searching Google in English (or romaji) seems to be a good way to judge international interest in the food, which in this case appears to be virtually non-existent. I don't think all regional snack foods deserve their own articles, or we would have thousands of stubs on Japanese snack foods alone. Even in Japanese, I don't think an article on Kyabetsu Taro has much potential for being more than a stub. Dforest 00:45, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lieutenant Randy Disher
Non-notable GTBacchus 10:29, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep character on hit show. Looking at the edit history, it appears the original speedy tag (nn real person), and the AFD nom (who tagged it as a "us-bio-stub"), were both based on the assumption this was a real person, who's job as "lieutenant" didn't make them notable. Since, it's a fictional character on a hit show, it probably qualifies for an article, although, it needs work. While I want a keep, I would be ok with a *temporary* re-dir to the show while the article is brought up to better standards (if it's not fixed by the end of the AFD) --rob 11:42, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

I feel that by deleting this article, there is a bias toward who should and shouldn't have an article. which is unfair.

- The article indicates that Luke Swenson flew the majority of his missions in stealth bombers. Canada has none.
- The user who created this page vandalized many others on the same day in order to try and legitimize these changes, including CSIS and CIA. He also vandalized several other pages with garbage.

- Merge per User:Chick Bowen. As to preserving the history, if the content page is renamed but no merge is made, the redirect made can be deleted as the history is moved to the new page. However, if the content is merged, either a redirect must be kept or the page history (but not the contributions themselves) must be copied to the new page's talk page as is often done through the Interwiki process.

- GFDL issues: The contributors of the merged-in article must be mentioned in the edit summary of the merges. Createion of a redirect is optional and no substitute for naming the contributors.

- Strongly disagree with deletion As far as I know, the article about the monkey controlling the robot was downloaded by far much more than any other article published in PLoS Biology. Thus, it contributed significantly to the journal's acceptance and popularity not to mention the impact on the brain-computer interface field. Instead of deleting articles from this list, I would suggest adding more. This way, the scope and impact of PLoS Biology will be more clear. (Unsigned comment by 24.163.65.156 - CB)
- The content is useful, 24.163; that's why I proposed a merge rather than delete. Articles are generally not written on single experiments unless they're, say, the oil-drop experiment. Chick Bowen 01:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and keep redirect The phrase is a little unwieldy, but I knew exactly which experiment it meant, so it is a possible search term. Xoloz 03:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: I agree with 24.163.65.156, this is a very famous study that not only impacted and sparked major research into a new field but also highly impacted the success and respectibility of the PLoS journals. I do not feel User:Chick Bowen appropriately addressed 24.163.65.156's comments. There are plenty of articles written about specific experiments, but few experiments have so impacted a specific journal such as this one. The article needs to be renamed, and more about its PLoS impacts need to be added. semiconscious (talk · home) 04:49, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- EVERYTHING IS FIXED: I've blended the article with Brain-computer interface (please check how it looks now) and changed the reference from the PLoS Biology page. Hopefully this will be satisfactory. Please delete Monkey controls a robotic arm. I do not know how to execute deletion. (Unsigned comment by 24.163.65.156 — CB)

- Comment: there's a mystery here. There is at least one very well-known open source software package called OpenIT; its details are here: [14]. There is also OpenIT described here: [15] which may be the same thing. Google search "OpenIT" gives 250,000 raw hits, but many are about other things, including a commercial s/w package "OpenIt". The article appears to refer to #1 or #2, but is badly written, perhaps by someone who does not understand it. The OpenIT described in #1 would, I think, be sufficiently notable and widely used and known to deserve an article. Can anyone in the field shed some light on this? MCB 00:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's what I thought at first, so I began cleaning up the article. Then I realised this article had nothing to do with that. Also, I can't find any mention of OpenIT or OpenTracker in the context of Tiger (assuming we are talking about the MacOS), and OpenTracker is generally a reference to the opensource versions of the BeOS tools (as in the Wikipedia article). Anyone who could write a better version is encouraged to, but until then it's not a great idea to have this page around. — mæstro t/c4 09:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Scottish Jacobite Party is a hoax started by one of the regular commenters at Politicalbetting.com blog. The commenter in question is the in-house "joker" of the community. No such party has been registered with the Electoral Commission, and at the website (which is used as his link by the commenter at Politicalbetting.com) the "people" page is blank, and the registration with the Electoral Commission is "pending".--Mais oui! 23:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC),Keep Thanks to Big Jim for finding that registration: I had searched, and have re-searched the EC website, and I STILL cannot find that Registration page with any combination of search terms.

If it is the case that they are in fact registered (as it would appear they are) there is nothing in the article text that is inaccurate thus no justification for deleting the article!

- Please don't assume wikipedia users all have internet access. Kappa 12:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, it's very reasonable to assume all viewers of a web page have internet access (any dreams of mass paper distribution are not going to be realized). A wiki-article is to inform the reader, about the school. The location and web address are essential to do that. The phone number is not. Also, people are often viewing an old version of a wiki article, where the number could be expired (or vandalized), and we could be causing some poor person to be getting wrong numbers from around the world, with no way of stopping it. --rob 13:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep The article obviously does make a claim of notability, and a quick google seems to confirm it. It started off as vanity, but isn't any more. It still needs to state what she's accomplished in the first sentence (instead of later), and it needs more specifics (which are easily found in Google), but any problems the article has are fixable. --rob 11:23, 9 October 2005 (UTC)- Comment I must be missing something - what's the claim to notability?

- Strong keep. What the heck is the bias against writers and academics. A porn actor or indy band with 1/100th the influence gets kept, while important (semi-)academics get AfD'd. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- The bias is not against writers and academics. We have large numbers of properly written articles about writers and academics that editors would not even consider nominating for deletion. The bias is against articles that tell us practically nothing of importance about the subject. I suggest a look at the state of this article at the time of nomination. For all that the article told readers, Garfinkel could have been just some random web logger. The way to avoid nomination for articles about book authors is to have at least the beginnings of a bibliography in the article (and indeed to mention that they are authors in the first place). Uncle G 12:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- I guess. But I wouldn't put an article on AfD without at least a basic investigation of whether the subject itself was notable, even if the article failed to show it yet. A basic google test would show a huge number of hits for Garfinkel (myself, I knew well of him without even doing that; but sure some folks would not). But even for an area where I knew nothing, I wouldn't just assume the lack of current content meant lack of worthwhile possible content. (but it's for people that are minimally indicated as academics/writers where nominators ignore even the google test; for an indy band or porn actor, they at least do that basic test). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 13:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- They do the research because the articles on such subjects that come up for deletion generally do tell us about the subjects, unlike this one, and thus the initial question of who the article is even talking about, and thus a context for any Google searches, is firmly established. An article about a pornographic actress that told us as little about its subject as this one told us about Garfinkel (e.g. "Jane Doe is an actress who got a Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 2004.") would very probably receive the same treatment as this article did. Once again: The claim that there is bias against writers and academics has no basis in reality. The bias is against bad biography articles that say almost nothing of importance about their subjects.

- Keep - It is certainly not a hoax, having been party to this game myself several times. However, I am not sure of the game's origins - I have only heard of it through one source, so to speak, so it may not be in the same class as 'Centurion' or '21' as a universal drinking game. From the person I first heard of it from, it could possibly have a military origin. Not quite sure how one would show that it is verifiable according to the Wikipedia definition, although I do have photographic evidence which would suggest it is...! I get the impression from Catergory:Drinking Games that this category could be used as a source for people to explore if they want to try a new drinking game. I am sure this is not the only game on this list that has just been made up by a group of friends, if Tommy does indeed fall under this banner. For this reason, I think it should stay. I note that some other pages in this category do not verify their content with explicit sources, but such is the nature of the subject matter. -- Rmbyoung 00:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- Neutral. I doubt it's vanity - he's one of the most notoriously corrupt student politicians in the country, and has made the national news quite a few times. But then again, he's a student politician. Ambi 08:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete All of the above and a very biased opinion of him. I should know, I used to live with the guy. He think's he's a big gun but clearly isn't. Nothing but a renegade right wing nutjob playing bush league student politics. Just thought I'd add a few truths about this guy incase the page stays (seeing as he wants everyone to know how cool he is). Inspirational and admired? Hardly. If the page stays, the whole "Wade story" should be told. Including his notorious past at Macquarie University (from which he was also expelled from for electoral misconduct).
