[edit] The Tony Danza and The Tony Danza (sex move)

Found this under recent changes. Looks like it needs to be deleted. It's impossible to verify and very misogynistic. Erik the Rude 00:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Also nominating The Tony Danza (sex move). It's an exact copy. Erik the Rude 00:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Touchyball & Crazypants

This is the english version translation of the Spanish webcomic Picapolla y Chocholoco seen here. They are both hosted on the same domain, and that domain comes back with an Alexa rank of 350,000. Note that the webcomic is not the only thing at that domain. "Picapolla y Chocholoco" gives just over 70 links and the word touchyball gives back 12 links. I do not think that either the Spanish webcomic nor the English translation is notable. However, if it is kept, I strongly suggest having the article under the original spanish name. - Hahnchen 00:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Move to Picapolla y Chocholoco, the Spanish webcomic version appears notable enough with the Google search. AndyZ t 01:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

    • Your position is admirable, but it's against policy. Fagstein 18:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. 'not notable' is not part of the deletion criteria. This article is at least stub quality, and does not violate any policies, therefore it is worth keeping. Cynical 18:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - The article is written by a User:Ccbaxter, the webcomic author, probably as a vanity or promotional piece. Having an entry on Wikipedia's list of webcomics seems to be a must these days for any old webcomic. - Hahnchen 18:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Legend Of Anne Bunny

Please take a look at the webcomic in question here. Anne Bunny is one of the several webcomics hosted on the Magpie House Designs website. Are they notable? Is this specific comic notable? "Legend of Anne Bunny" gives 36 hits on Google, and "Magpie House Design" gives 23 unique hits. (The reason the latter search gives thousands of none unique hits is due to Google messing up it's forum page caching). Alexa also ranks the site at which it's hosted on at 600,000+. I don't think the entire domain is notable enough for an article, let alone a single webcomic on it. - Hahnchen 00:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mad World (comic)

Is this a notable website? Hosted on Comic Genesis, the webcomic can be seen here and is also mirrored on DrunkDuck. The article seems to be written by the webcomic author, Michael Wriston. The website is updated on a random schedule, so that is perhaps why it is not mentioned in the Alexa report for comic genesis. But I just can't find an establishment of notability online, it looks to be one of the thousands of small time webcomics on Comic Genesis. - Hahnchen 00:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gulfside United Methodist Assembly

not really a notable church, parishcruft Montco 00:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps if you are not African American, or is this site not for what is notable for American of African heritage? This is a state of Mississippi Historic site. C. Baker Motley used it a the base of operations during the court sessions to integrate the Law school at Old MS University. Judge Marshall came there to work with other NAACP lawyers. Leontine Price sang there because it was one of a few places where she could sing opera to her own people in the south. It is not a Church but a 65 acre campus. The only place in this country where a Black person could legally walk on the beach or swim in a part of the Gulf of Mexico until after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

It would have been a bit more civilized if I had been allowed to finish writing the article before passing judgement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JLJQuinn (talk • contribs).

sorry am new at this. Jacqui Quinn

  • My criteria for an AfD are based on objective criteria. The retreat has all of 75 unique hits on google. Some of which include:Gulfport Timeshares. There were 2 AP stories, both of which had to do with the rebuilding of the camp. Big deal, lots of stuff has to be rebuilt after the hurricanes. We don't list every apartment building and hotel on the Gulf Coast that was destroyed. I found nothing to assert the sort of notability which you claim for the place. According to the state's historical preservation, there are 588 state historical landmarks in Mississippi. [1] including post offices. Not all of those are notable. Montco 01:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Google may not be the most representative source of information for stuff from the 1950s and 60s. Thatcher131 04:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • comment I would say that by default, a state historical site is notable. I mean, the site has to be historically notable to become a state historical site, no? Roodog2k 23:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep but cleanup. I think, as JLJQuinn shows, the church is indeed notable. THe article needs some cleanup, but presumably that will come in due course. (Jacqui: see your talkpage) Bucketsofg 01:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and add references - notability established (pending verification) —ERcheck @ 04:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep pending verification; this notable info should be in the article I have added some refs and done some preliminary cleanup Thatcher131 04:12, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. 97th historical site of The United Methodist Church doesn't seem all that notable to me though. Fagstein 05:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • If this is as notable as User:JLJQuinn asserts, then it is far from nomninator's parishcruft and must earn a strong keep -- Simon Cursitor 07:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per JLJQuinn; a state historical site should be sufficient for notability, let alone some of the other contributions of this church. Tijuana Brass 07:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable church.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 08:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This topic certainly seems worthy of an encyclopedia entry. After all, Wikipedia is not paper. The article certainly could use some cleanup though. NoIdeaNick 09:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable church and cleanup. --Terence Ong 10:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Hang on and assume good faith. :) --Andy123(talk) 12:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems notable but needs verification. Wstaffor 22:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • keep Lets let the author have a chance to get the article written, at least before passing judgement. Also WP:BITE, I think, may be in order. Roodog2k 23:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, conspicuously notable. If the nominator had the time to work his way through the entire list of Google hits to pick out the isolated timeshare reference in a foolheaded and uncivil attempt to discredit the claim of notability, he or she had the time to read the dozens and dozens of legitimate references which demonstrated notability. Such enthusiasm for a most dubious proposal is disturbing at best. Monicasdude 02:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with the tone of this comment and the use of the term "foolheaded. " However, the article was tagged for deletion one hour after JLJQuinn (talk • contribs) started it, and regardless of whatever the nominator found via google, I find that the eighth hit on the first page is a newspaper article that verifies the essential details [2]. I notice that JLQuinn has not edited the article since then; maybe this is just her night out. I hope she hasn't been driven away from the project. Thatcher131 04:22, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Montco has apologized on JLQuinn's talk page, which I find commendable. I considered blanking my comment immediately above but I decided to leave it; maybe this episode will give someone else some food for thought too. Thatcher131 04:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABC idents

  • Nothing more than a gallery of logos with no encyclopedic information. Please Delete. Georgia guy 00:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, it is probably a logo gallery subpage for American Broadcasting Company. However, the images all seem to be fair use, but they all lack any fair use rationales and also amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible. Therefore, the image fair use problem should be looked into farther, and then perhaps the article should be deleted should the images fail WP:FUC. AndyZ t 01:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep only if logo's meet fair use, then it would be encyclopedic  Funky Monkey  (talk)  02:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but clean up the article so it can meet proper standards. As per above, make sure the identifications are fair use. :: Colin Keigher Canada 03:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Funky Monkey. SorryGuy 04:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clarify, if logo use is ok. Also, compare to or consider BBC television idents. --Ajdz 05:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup. Is "ident" even the proper word to use? Fagstein 05:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    Keep, encyclopaedic. "Ident" is the usual term I've seen for these. Vashti 19:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per AndyZ and Ajdz. Tijuana Brass 07:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep encyclopedic -- Samir (the scope) 08:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup, its just the logo and this is encyclopedic. --Terence Ong 10:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Hard to imagine this not being fair use; hard to imagine conveying this information any other way. Smerdis of Tlön 15:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Currently this article fails to pass the fair use criteria policy. It needs more textual content regarding its history, like National Broadcasting Company logos. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but with regard to comments above, review the fair use. doktorb | words 21:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I think it is surprising that there are so many votes to keep this article even though it has no real text other than the heading paragraph. Georgia guy 22:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep but article needs clean-up to be presentable. Wstaffor 22:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Really cool article. Needs some actual text, though. --Mboverload 22:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Either move to List of ABC idents, delete as unencyclopedic or expand. It is literally a list, no analysis, no text other than an explanatory sentence, etc. If it's possible to actually write something in the article, keep. Jesuschex 23:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Of course it's possible to write some text there, but not if it gets deleted before someone has a chance. The article was barely a day old when it got nominated. Analysis will be a problem because that is bound to become the forbidden "original research". LambiamTalk 00:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Well then, someone go ahead and do so. Georgia guy 00:55, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
        • If it's original research, than we'll delete it then. I'm all for giving it a chance, but only if there's potential. Jesuschex 02:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Given the example from National Broadcasting Company logos, articles like this have some chance for expansion into a good article. Then again, articles like ABC idents and BBC television idents don't. I thinking moving to "List of ABC idents" would be a good idea, because "list of" articles are just that: a list, not an article. Jesuschex 02:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep encyclopedic. --Siva1979Talk to me 04:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to commons It is nothing more than a gallery, commons is the place for galleries. Ansell 05:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not an image gallery, period/full stop. --Calton | Talk 06:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • If improperly used images were removed this article would be two sentences, three external links, and four categories. Redirect to the ABC page until this article can be justified with actual content. Alternately, just delete. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean. —-- That Guy, From That Show! (esperanza) 2006-04-20 07:28
  • Keep - a valuable addition to the sum of all human knowledge. KWH 17:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

vanity. Endless Shrimp 00:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. None of her credits on IMDb indicate that she has moved beyond minor roles. This would need verifiable media reports if it is to avoid deletion. Capitalistroadster 00:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • IMDb's credits are wrong. It lists her in at least one film in which she did not appear. Her wikipedia entry listed 4 films until very recently. Resume padding.
  • delete* fluff Williamb 03:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have corrected the errors from IMDB. Furthermore, WP:BIO doesn't call for the deletion of a writer/actress whose "failure" is acheivement in TV and theater rather than movies. --M@rēino 03:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, but barely. 100K google results on her name indicates at least some significant interest in this person. Article needs work. Quatloo 09:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Just pointing out that most of the 100K google results on the name refer to the curator of a well-established NYC art gallery. Not the same person. Endless Shrimp 15:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This rides the edge of notability, but when in doubt it never hurts to be a little more inclusive. NoIdeaNick 09:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep, the NYC Fringe Festival alone should be enough, as it's a quite significant stage. Monicasdude 02:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The word "fringe" should be a clue there, hoss.--Calton | Talk 06:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The name "Fringe Festival" is self-consciously ironic; the event itself is well-known and extremely well-regarded. There are "Fringe Festivals" in major cities around the English-speaking world and more, including New York, Philadelphia, Boulder, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa, Melbourne, Prague, Singapore, Dublin, Brighton, Bath, and Edinburgh. Some are more substantial than others; the New York City event is extremely well-known, regularly covered in depth and treated as notable by media like the New York Times. The name, as I recall, goes back to one of the UK events in the late 1940s, staged in an area of the involved city known as "the Fringe". The last time I checked, an ironic name was not grounds for deprecating an otherwise substantial event. Monicasdude 15:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I wasn't aware that this discussion was about keeping or deleting any "Fringe" festival articles. And yes, the various "Fringe" festivals themselves are very notable. But what sort of individuals -- you know, the actual topic under discussion -- perform at the various "Fringe" festivals? Hmmm, the word "Fringe" should be a clue there, hoss. --Calton | Talk 08:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • That's sort of a flimsy criterion. The festival is substantial—in a commercial sense—but the same can't automatically be said of individual participants. Should every single musician who participates in the CMJ Music Marathon or SXSW have their own wikipedia article? Endless Shrimp 20:37, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers (ie - Hollywood Walk of Fame)? Nope.
  • # Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. A regular in a failed basic-cable series? Nope.
--Calton | Talk 06:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
"Just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted."--M@rēino 18:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
And just because they got a listing on IMDB or collected a couple of paychecks doesn't mean they should be kept, either. --Calton | Talk 08:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motion (disambiguation)

Redundant with previously existing disambiguation page at Motion. Also, I believe equal topic disambiguation and not primary topic disambiguation is appropriate in this case because of the genericity of the term "motion", the number of articles linking to "motion" which clearly do not mean the physical sense, and similar disambiguation organization on other-language Wikipedias. —Psychonaut 01:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United States bomber scale-chart

I created this article some time ago, and I still believe that the information it contains is undeniably valuable. However, I have nominated it because I feel that the article is unencyclopedic in that it does not actually have a topic: it exists solely as a context for the scale-chart it contains—in fact, the article contains absolutely no information not already in the image it's built around. The GIF within it has been uploaded onto the commons, so no information will be lost. The commons is definitely a better place for this kind of thing. Ingoolemo talk 01:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Austral-Asian Community Church

This was originally prodded by User:AYArktos on the grounds of questioning how this church stood out from others. User:Cynical then removed, on the grounds "churches are notable". I disagree that a religious centre is inherently important so here it is. I am unconvinced that the fact that this church was formed by a minority group adds any more notability to the fact that it is a church.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 01:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. One reason it's so hard to find with Google is that this is actually called the "Austral-Asian Christian Church". If it is kept, the article should really provide more context. Australia, OK, but where in Australia? I'm getting a flashback of a ring found in the parking lot. I understand it is in Adelaide, but I see also a reference to Canberra, Perth and Darwin. Is this a Church in the sense of the Church of England (an institution), or in the sense of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (a building)? Based on 1266.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG), 1996 I'd think the former, but from their web site I'd guess the latter. What gives?

  • The title made me think that somehow this theorem has an important role in Euclid's Elements, or is at least its first theorem, in which case I might have at least entertained arguments to keep a redirect to an article with a better name. However, I note that this is postulate 4 of book 1 of Euclid's elements, and not a theorem at all. I would like to know what list Randomaccount990 says this theorem is on (RS mentions in an edit summary "there is a list... and this is #1"), but I doubt it would change my vote.

  • Comment, I am not too sure if this should be kept or not, as it is talking about the building itself, not it being a part of the university. Seeing that it is a stub about buildings in Canada, I would probably keep it, but I am abstaining. :: Colin Keigher Canada 04:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Neologism. I have lived in this general area for 15 years and I have never ever heard this phrase. Google has nothing of the sort no matter what combo I use.

[edit] Danielle Rousseau (Lost)

  • Delete. Completely duplicative of another article, Danielle Rousseau, over which an edit war has raged. Originator of the current page was blocked for WP:3RR on this previous article for two days, and his very first action on returning was (without discussion) to create this new page to cement his own stance on the previous article. Copyright issues also exist here but are secondary. This is a redundant article and should be deleted. PKtm 04:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Heritage Party candidates, 2004 Canadian federal election and Christian Heritage Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election

Not encyclopedic. Pages for failed candidates of very minor party. brenneman{L} 04:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep for both. There are numerous pages like this on Wikipedia, and the article format is the result of a compromise that followed extensive discussions. CJCurrie 04:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • If you provided some links to these discussions that would help. As it is, these pages appear to be platforms for non-notable people to squeeze into wikipedia, expanding the coverage of fairly non-notable groups. There's nothing encyclopedic here that couldn't go into the parent article. - brenneman{L} 04:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • The original discussion can be found here. Subsequent practice has confirmed the acceptability of list pages -- I'll see if I can find sufficient evidence. CJCurrie 04:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Here is the first practical example of a list page being utilized as a compromise. CJCurrie 05:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • And here is a more recent example. Note that most contributors now believe the list page approach is acceptable, even if the specific bio page is not worth keeping (which it wasn't). CJCurrie 05:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • And here is a prior example of a list page being nominated for deletion, and surviving by a wide margin. CJCurrie 05:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for both. The CHP is just as notable as Marijuana Party candidates, 2004 Canadian federal election. :: Colin Keigher Canada 04:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep While I strongly feel that individual minor party candidates don't deserve their own articles, it is a good idea for an encyclopedic type production such as Wiki to keep a list of former candidates. Good reference material, without wasting space on non-noteable nobodies. pm_shef 05:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Ardenn 05:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep both. Gives us a place to store information on candidates for a party without clogging the place with non-notable biographies often cribbed if not copied from the Party website. Capitalistroadster 05:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - At least some of this material belongs. If it doesn't warrant a separate article, then it may be merged to Christian Heritage Party of Canada, after discussion on the relevant talk page (not an AFD issue). Christian Heritage Party of Canada has nothing on individual candidates, and I think at least some, like those who's vote counts exceed the winner/runner-up spread, are worthy of inclusion in one or the other article. -Rob 05:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep both per CJCurrie and pm_shef. —GrantNeufeld 05:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looks interesting, and much better than having articles on each of the candidates. Fagstein 06:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Which sentence of it do you find interesting, choosing from those following the table of contents? The plain old results tables are, I expect, already summarised more sensibly elsewhere. -Splashtalk 19:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete An article on the Party is a different matter, but failed candidates are not notable. --kingboyk 06:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • This whole idea was first proposed by AFD' as a solution to a very real and otherwise unresolvable debate. It's not an ideal solution, I grant, but it's the only way anybody's found to date to balance a very real and legitimate difference of opinion on the notability of electoral candidates. So, considering that this approach was AFD's idea to begin with, keep. Bearcat 06:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as status quo compromise. This 'List of...' article is a proactive alternative to individual candidate pages that spring up every election. Theoretically (in my mergist fantasy), all candidates get a redirect page to this kind of list page (or, more practically, as it is practised, all candidates get merged/redirected to such a page once someone creates an article on them). This page solves some rather annoying things, like endless afds on electoral candidates who just want the free ad space and get it for at least the 5 days the afd takes (hint: don't take it to afd, just merge/redirect it to the list pages) and a one-stop shop to monitor for abusive or peacock descriptions of the candidate (opposed to monitoring hundreds of pages during that grace period candidates are normally given during an election). This topic had a centralized discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates; and this proposal came up here: Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates#A mergist's solution. --maclean25 07:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • It is not a solution since we just keep the (non-)information somewhere else! What does it matter which title you put it under? If we get a bunch of politico-vanity-adverts every election, then that's fine. Delete them every election. I do not see, like Steve block below, that that discussion has any particular 'consensus' so strong as to overrule ordinary notability standards and to justify a dismissal of this entire AfD on the basis of it, as some seem to be suggesting. -194.247.247.60 19:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • It is not a "solution" to the problem you are posing, but it is a solution to the problem posed at the centralized discussion. This is an unofficial compromise, not a 'concensus' that emerged from centralized discussion (it never went to a straw poll). The reason the title matters is because it is much easier to deal with one article than a dozen. These are just little bios that illustrate what kind of people are running for these parties. They are not full-blown biographies that require hours of research. One of the reasons the centralized discussion occured was because the afd process was not working, some were kept, some deleted (some repeatedly) but most ended with 'no concensus'. --maclean25 01:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not convinced, reading Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates, that this compromise has any more consensus than any other. I'm also not sure we need seperate lists for each party, when they are of these lengths. I think I'd be inclined to keep merging these lists to a point where they aren't unwieldy and aren't potential forks and aren't granting undue balance. On the last point, do the major parties also have lists of their failed candidates? If not, we are creating articles on an undue balance basis. At the moment, delete. I could see a value in Candidates in the 2004 Canadian federal election, but we're not debating that here. Steve block talk 07:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This seems totally appropriate to me. While having a separate page for each of these candidates would be overkill, a list with some basic information certainly seems worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia of unlimited size such as Wikipedia. NoIdeaNick 09:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per NoIdeaNick and others. Wikipedia is not paper. CJCurrie and others have gathered a lot of verifiable informaiton about these people into a small numbers of well-organized articles. It would be a shame to lose these. Ground Zero | t 11:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep --Terence Ong 12:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep We need to get rid of the individual nn candidate entries, and need a place to put them. One article per party per election for losing candidates seems reasonable. Fan1967 14:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • How does keeping them get rid of them? Why do we need a place for below-average losers? One article per party that is actually relevant to the world outside their pub crew, I can understand. But an article just for signing a form once? That's a bit much. -Splashtalk 19:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm at a loss why a party that got way way less than 1% overall (yes, individual ridings varied but they competed in what, 15 ridings tops???) needs an article about a particular election outcome. I think merging this stuff with the main party article is the way to go. To those that cite other party articles, as examples that it should be done this way, I suggest perhaps that other minor party articles need the same merging/purging treatment too. Nothing much more could ever be said here, could it? As much as it pains me to do so, given my extreme detestation for Mr. Brenneman and his deletionist ways (KIDDING!) I must suggest that the right thing to do here is Merge with redirect... ++Lar: t/c 15:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - This is the sort of information that politics researchers find useful; one of the things that constantly hampers my discipline is not having information on the minor parties in countries outside the United States. Even if the article was not useful now, I can state without any reservation at all that, based on the research being done today, it will be useful a few years down the line.Captainktainer 16:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep both as CJCurrie pointed out, it is a reasonable compromise. Useful information for future research on Canadian elections. Note that Wikipedia is not paper. Luigizanasi 05:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep per CJCurrie et al. BoojiBoy 18:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn  Funky Monkey  (talk)  19:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as irrelevant to the local community, the national community, the world community, the election, the other candidates in the election and as a grouping together of a whole bunch of utterly non-notable bios, each of which would be a near-speedy candidate if it weren't masquerading as an election result. There is little to no information in these articles that is informative of politics and there is no reason to spend time writing about a collection of literal losers. Losing by a stonkingly huge amount is something that Joe Anybody can do without even leaving their bedroom: literally. Add a passing mention to a main article or two, or a table of percentages somewhere. No need for a full-blown merge and redirect. -Splashtalk 19:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Above user has no prior contributions. CJCurrie 19:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Actually, I have about 25,000. -Splashtalk 19:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
        • My apologies, but you signed anonymously the first time. CJCurrie 19:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
          • Yes, I did. And I imagine my comment sounds quite harsh to the author of the article. But really, did they have any impact on any of the things I mentioned in my first sentence? Are they likely ever too? Did they even get any significant media coverage, apart from some presumable stuff about being a fringe party (or whatever the terminology appropriately is)? Is the detailed info on the candidates actually of connection to anything other than this article? If you cut that out, at least we'd get a more focussed article. -Splashtalk 19:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
            • I didn't create the 2006 article -- someone else did. As has already been noted, the list system is a compromise: the candidates don't need to be individually important to qualify. To the party's importance, it might be noteworthy the Stephen Harper, Canada's current PM, once wrote about adding the CHP's support base to a broad "right-wing coalition" (not that I'm suggesting that the page should be kept for this reason alone). CJCurrie 19:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A minor party, but at least a notable one. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 19:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Notable for what? Your comment implies that some minor parties might be non-notable. What distinguishes this one? -Splashtalk 19:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn. RexNL 19:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Where has everyone got the idea that Wikipedia should onlyu include things that are important or "notable" (which is as vague and useless a term as one could imagine)? The main advantage that Wikipedia has over paper encyclopedias is that is can cover the nooks and crannies of the sum of knowledge in this world. There is no consensus that "notability" should be a criterion for inclusion. See the grounds for deletion at Wikipedia:Deletion policy, and, for interest, Jimbo Wales' view on notability, as expressed in the poll where notability failed to become an accepted reason for deletion. Ground Zero | t 20:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • This is an endlessly rehearsed argument. It fails on several key counts: Jimbo's ordinary opinions, whilst of great interest, do not form policy or guideline absent some authority being granted to them, or him speaking ex cathedra. Also, "non-notable" is such an accepted deletion criterion that non-notable bios, bands etc, can be deleted on sight per CSD A7. "Non-notable" is a frequently successful argument for deletion because it is simply a collecting-together of many different things: WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information, of unencyclopedic information, etc etc. It is not as simple "i don't think he's interesting". It is clearly enough not a "useless" term, it is actually a usefully adaptive term that is just oft-debated as people differ on individual items. The nooks and crannies of the sum of knowledge indeed; it is questionable whether the school-days employment of a random loser qualifies as knowledge. -Splashtalk 20:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • And the counter-argument is that there are hundreds of articles on minor characters in Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Buffy, Pokemon, video game and lots of other fictional universes. There are articles on weaponry, spacecraft, battles, religions, languages and institutions of these universes that do not exist. These articles exist because people are interested enough to write about them, and because Wikipedia is willing to be the host for information about them. Here we are talking about real world candidates of real world political parties for real world political offices in a county that is, for the most part, a real place. There are people who are interested in writing about and reading about these people. How is Wikipedia diminished by allowing the stories of these real people sit alongside all of the articles about the stories of minor fictitional characters? Ground Zero | t 21:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Extremely Strong Keep per Ground Zero's excellent argument. If we can have articles on every single damn pokemon that (N)ever existed, this should be a no brainer. Jcuk 21:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as the party is notable and the information here could be useful to researchers. Wstaffor 23:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I think that records on small party candidates are important for historical reasons. Also, CHP canidates tend to run multiple times and in multiple ridings. This info will almost certainly be useful for future elections. Just nbecause you didn't get a lot of votes doesn't mean that a candidate didn't make an impact. NDP Johnny 23:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per pm_shef. — nathanrdotcom (T • C • W) 04:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep, as above. Samaritan 07:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both. While an article about the party is perfectly acceptable, these "list of failed candidates" pages are not appropriate to the encyclopedia. This is just a thinly veiled attempt to include content which would be unacceptable (per WP:BIO) if listed separately. If this trend is allowed to continue, Wikipedia will be flooded with these unmaintainable pages. Rossami (talk) 12:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

      I wasn't holding back -- I had no involvement in creating this article, and I wasn't even aware it existed until you put it on afd. When you posed the question, I did a quick newspaper search, which yielded the above results (and others). CJCurrie 21:46, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. It is noteworthy but needs to be edited to included referneces and to make it seem less slanted. I have modified the language to make it seem less biased. Some one needs to add in some good references and citations Edward Brown.
If the article survives the afd process, as the primary author, I'll take responsibility for addressing all the concerns regarding references. Having said that, Browned, is there someone who wouldn't consider this to be a pro-homosexual agenda (the link was in the article but deleted by Brenneman)? That page starts with the terms "social justice activists" and "homophobia and heterosexism action group" to describe their approach. I still intend to keep all relevant facts in the revised article. Pointing out the activism of a group that identifies iteself as activist, is not an "attack", especially when it relates directly to the topic at hand. Deet 00:19, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I think the point is that the term "pro-homosexual agenda" is itself slanted and POV. Anyway, this isn't relevant to the afd; please address the matter on the article talk page. CJCurrie 00:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
LOL. Activists don't have agendas? Anyways, I take your point on discussing this in the other section.Deet 01:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: All who are familiar with this case should know that the Kempling case has enormous ramifications. Certainly the College of Education saw it as important or they would not have pursued the matter so far. The BC Teachers' Federation saw it important in that even though they were against Kempling's statements they gave him financial backing at a higher court level than, I understand, they were required to. Practically everything in this article is neutral, and it would only take one or two minor ones to make it totally so. The facts of this case, including the decision which effectively bars teachers from independent public discussion of education unless they are politically in line with the correct thinking, is enormous.

[edit] Marijuana Party candidates, 2004 Canadian federal election

Nothing encyclopedic here that could not go into parent article. There are lots of political parties that don't get elected, and lists such as this serve only to bulk up their on-line presence. brenneman{L} 05:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep Wikipedia has an established precedent of permiting pages like this, and there is at least one instance of a similar page surviving afd [4]. I don't interpret this as "bulk[ing] up their on-line presence", so much as preserving information for future research. CJCurrie 05:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • This "established precedent" seems to be, well, you. Looking at the discussions linked in the CHP pages AfD above, I'm mostly seeing the strong feeling that there is not a place in wikipedia for lists like this. If you'd like a wider net to be cast, feel free to use the WP:PUMP but right now there is no consensus. - brenneman{L} 05:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I disagree with your assessment: I was the one who proposed the compromise and I obviously take a strong interest in the matter, but I'm certainly not the only one who supports the continued existence of such pages. The list pages provided a functional resolution to a bitter debate, and they've worked as a compromise for over a year. CJCurrie 05:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per comments above. It is useful to store information without clogging up the Wikipedia with articles cribbed if not copied from the website. Capitalistroadster 05:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete An article on the Party is a different matter, but failed candidates are not notable. --kingboyk 06:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as status quo compromise. This 'List of...' article is a proactive alternative to individual candidate pages that spring up every election. Theoretically (in my mergist fantasy), all candidates get a redirect page to this kind of list page (or, more practically, as it is practised, all candidates get merged/redirected to such a page once someone creates an article on them). This page solves some rather annoying things, like endless afds on electoral candidates who just want the free ad space and get it for at least the 5 days the afd takes (hint: don't take it to afd, just merge/redirect it to the list pages) and a one-stop shop to monitor for abusive or peacock descriptions of the candidate (opposed to monitoring hundreds of pages during that grace period candidates are normally given during an election). This topic had a centralized discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates; and this proposal came up here: Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates#A mergist's solution. --maclean25 07:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not convinced, reading Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates, that this compromise has any more consensus than any other. I'm also not sure we need seperate lists for each party, when they are of these lengths. I think I'd be inclined to keep merging these lists to a point where they aren't unwieldy and aren't potential forks and aren't granting undue balance. On the last point, do the major parties also have lists of their failed candidates? If not, we are creating articles on an undue balance basis. At the moment, delete. I could see a value in Candidates in the 2004 Canadian federal election, but we're not debating that here. Steve block talk 07:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per CJCurrie. NoIdeaNick 09:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per CJCurrie. --Terence Ong 13:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm at a loss why a party that got way way less than 1% overall (yes, individual ridings varied but they competed in what, 5 ridings tops??? even less than the other party articles Brenny put up today) needs an article about a particular election outcome. I think merging this stuff with the main party article is the way to go. To those that cite other party articles, as examples that it should be done this way, I suggest perhaps that other minor party articles need the same merging/purging treatment too. Nothing much more could ever be said here, could it? It is with great and over-riding (get it?) joy that I support Mr. Brenny in his noble endeavour. (KIDDING!!! about the noble part I mean...) and therefore I must suggest that the right thing to do here is Merge with redirect... (from the GRR airport, yay for wireless access) ++Lar: t/c 15:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep as per comments above  Funky Monkey  (talk)  19:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • There is a vanishingly small amount of encyclopedic information in this article, and the others. Why do we care what some irrelevant loser (yes, really, he lost) describes himself as? Why is the percentage information not properly in context in the main article about the election? Why do we care a fig, frankly, who failed to get a single candidate elected and who, judging from the article were of approximately zero impact at all levels. Add a passing mention to a main article, and delete. -Splashtalk 19:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Response to the first point: the page is a work-in-progress, and more information will be added. CJCurrie 19:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC) Also, the above user has no prior contributions apart from the CHP afd. CJCurrie 19:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • ...and apart from my other 25,000 or so. Deleting it now will save you the trouble of writing a collection of nn-bios on the used car salesmen that lost elections. Add some encyclopedic statistics to a main article and move on. -Splashtalk 19:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
        • To the first point: my apologies, but you signed anonymously the first time (subsequently corrected). In any case, I'll reiterate that an afd decision and afd precedent supports the compromise. CJCurrie 19:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
          • One prior AfD decision (that was probably wrong) and little to no precedent. I don't think that either justify spending pixels explaining what someone with <1% of the vote "describes himself as". Adding a summary percentage somewhere relevant, would be fine, of course. I don't understand the reluctance to do so and be done with. -Splashtalk 19:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
            • I guess we'll have to disagree on the latter point. To the former: it's not just one decision, it's a full year's worth of precedent on this forum. CJCurrie 19:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A minor party, but at least a notable one. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 19:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Notable for what? All they seem to have done is sort-of exist briefly, once. -Splashtalk 19:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • They still exist. CJCurrie 19:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Have the run in any elections other than in 2004? What I'm getting at is that neither the party nor the people have ever had an impact on anything and so don't belong anywhere, save a mention that the party scored a vote or two in the main election article. That really is all they've done, right? Or have they done something else that is mentionable? -Splashtalk 19:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
        • They fielded candidates in 2000 and 2006 (and they didn't exist before 2000). The party most certainly did have an impact on the national debate on cannabis legislation. I believe it's established that the individual candidates don't (automatically) deserve bio pages, but they remain public figures and merit some coverage in a review of the nation's political history. Anyway, I'm not sure this debate is getting us anywhere. CJCurrie 19:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
          • I'm not sure that is established, and I'm reasonably conversant with AfD. I don't think that a single AfD in which the key assertion was "other articles exist" i.e. a repetition of the argument used here, making it at best a tail-biting assertion. The statistical info in this article can be and already is elsewhere. There is not much added by this article: I mean, why does it matter that "Zupansky has described himself as a business owner and salesperson"? The only reason this debate might not get us anywhere is if people decide not to engage in it: asserting that it should be overruled by a largely non-existent precedent. -Splashtalk 20:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Hello.. it is a real prize and, like the X-Prize, is constantly raising new funding. That will go on until the initial prize is won. There is a Yahoo group for the prize and several film festivals are announcing participation. It involves many members of the film and archive community and will become better known over time. The fact that fundraising is going on (perpetually) shouldn't count against it. It also takes forever to show up in Google! :-) The "official" website is under construction. Thanks.

[edit] List of sexual slurs/old

(Previous nomination is here.)

I categorically demand removal of this page from main article space. It blatantly and openly defies the major requirement of wikipedia: Verifiability. What is more, the fans of sexual slurs persistently link it from the normal article, List of sexual slurs. This is total disrespect of the major rule of wikipedia. Also article forks are forbidden in wikipedia. `'mikka (t) 07:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep. The last AFD closed a little over three weeks ago and this is actually the third nomination. There has been no dramatic change in the article, Wikipedia policy, or the Wikipedia community in general since the last AFD. Thus, the will of the community has already been determined. Can another administrator please close the debate.--Primetime 07:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Exactly. Wikipedia:verifiability policy is not revoked yet. And if you care to read it, you will find that it is one of the three cornerstone ones which are non-negotiable. `'mikka (t) 08:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - With so many people voting to keep the last time around, why hasn't anyone bothered to merge it? Especially given this article's enormous importance? Primetime is right in noting that this is too soon to reconsider, but it should be a moot point anyways. Tijuana Brass 07:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    The editors at "List of sexual slurs" want to merge them as they are sourced. They won't allow unsourced entries into the article for the time being. They don't want to delete them all, either.--Primetime 07:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    They have to move it into user space and don't link to it from articles, since this is a raw unverified source for future proper text. `'mikka (t) 08:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - This practice of renominating for AfD until the desired result is achieved absolutely must end. If the community says "Don't delete it" more than once, it's a no-brainer that it should be kept. Captainktainer 16:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - to discourage renomination harrassment. --Darkfred Talk to me 18:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Wait until I start harrassing this bullshit for real. If the article will sit in the article space, and you continue to link it from other wikipedia articles, I have all rights to apply wikipedia:Verifiability to it and delete all what smells suspicious. If you don't want to follow rules, I will join the game. `'mikka (t) 19:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • CLOSE AS BAD FAITH NOMINATION - This comment is a possibly block-able violation of WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL, and a threat to WP:POINT. The current AFD doesn't meet speedy keep criteria with valid delete votes, but I would recommend that a closing administrator end it as a bad faith nomination and abusive behavior by nominator. Georgewilliamherbert 01:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Now, now. I am warning you (rather than threatening) that I am going to exercise my rights of an editor as applied to the article visible in the article space. I didn't do this before, because I thought at least one of dirt-word-lovers has a common sense. But this crowd persistently reverted my minimal changes aimed at minimal compliance with wikipedia rules. Now they are going down onto me with full forse. No more warnings. Now I will not speak but act as soon as this article pops up anywhere in the main article space. `'mikka (t) 18:46, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

    • the real article, List of sexual slurs, is notable, but not this fork. By the way, forks are forbidden in wikipedia as well. `'mikka (t) 23:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

NOTE This page was again linked from main article space, which is inadmissible by wikipedia standards. What is wrong with the common sense? I genuinely fail to understand why the unverified content cannot be stored at the Talk:List of sexual slurs while the fwork is in progress? `'mikka (t) 23:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Storing it on the talkpage would make the slurs harder to find for visitors. We were considering placing them on a subpage of the talkpage and then adding a link to it. Would that be acceptable to you?--Primetime 23:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Precisely my point: Making nonverifiable content visible to wikipedia users (as you say, "visitors") is inadmissible. If you start doing this, it will open doors to all kinds of legalized POV pushing in subpages, linked from main article space. I have nothing against slurs; I am liberally using them myself (and sometimes reprimanded in wikipedia). In this case I am pursuing the major rule of wikipedia. `'mikka (t) 23:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you understand. Viewers must have a way to see the list. It can either be a subpage of the talk page linked from the article, or a subpage of the main page linked to the article. Either way, there must be a link to it. If I created a subpage on the talk page and linked to it from the main article, would you remove it?--Primetime 00:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you understand. wikipedia:Verifiability policy says that encyclopedia readers must not see unverified information. Encyclopedia editors can find this page, e.g., by link from the article talk page. `'mikka (t) 00:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I reluctantly vote keep, because I would have voted "delete" if I'd seen the last AfD. But the other voters are right, the AfD process shouldn't be overused. -Will Beback 09:25, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep The name in question is a proper name of a group involved in Natural Language Processing, it in fact is mentioned in some printed matters (unfortunately not available on-line, but nevertheless it indicates notability).

"Being mentioned in print" is not enough. As per WP:CORP, the corporation must have been "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. This criterion excludes: Media re-prints of press releases, other publications where the company or corporation talks about itself, and advertising for the company. Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report extended shopping hours or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in business directories." Please cite these sources in the article. Sandstein 19:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am not familiar with the publications mentioned (if there are any) but I've checked google and there are no other companies using this name, so I think this article can stay as there is no risk of misinformation. 213.158.197.33 20:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Obvious delete Not only is no assertion of notability made, but none could be essayed; even were the article fully developed, the subject would still be non-notable per WP:CORP. I concur with Sandstein and AED that one must watch sockpuppetry here. Joe 05:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. WP:CORP refers to 'companies and corporations' (which I understand as commercial organizations), I have visited the webpage provided in this article and it seems that this entity is a non-commercial group (at least so far their products are available for free) so I guess this article should be exempt from the WP:CORP—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.158.197.33 (talk • contribs).
    • Non-profit corporations are still corporations. I don't see how the notability guidelines don't apply here. Under what criteria would a non-profit be notable where a for-profit wouldn't be? Fagstein 08:17, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Mobster lobster, you voted already above. Please stop the sockpuppetry, it's not helping you. We can see if a user is very new and the administrators will discount such opinions. As to the company, it does look very much like a for-profit entity (with links like "Portal for Business Partners" etc.) and even if it were not, it would still have to establish notability. Sandstein 07:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
The fact that I am new here does not mean that I cannot state my opinion. Is this place for people who search for informatio or for people who spend their time harrasing other people ? Sorry for the double voting, but double voting is NOT a sockpupettery ("A sock puppet is an additional username used by a Wikipedian who edits under more than one name.", I use only one, the undersigned). Moreover I suspect you Sandstein (a.k.a. Fagstein, not to mention TheBernFiles on Wikimedia Commons, am I right ?) that you use sockpuppetery yourself. I would suggest that the authors re-classify the article to something less controversial like 'non-profit organizations' or move to a domain-related classification (like: 'search techniques' or 'NLP').

Edit histories (also known as User contributions) are a usefull test for sock puppety (not for meat puppets though), if the edit times over lap then it is very dificult for the two users to be puppet and master. For example if you check the edit histories for Fagstein and Sandstein you would find at least one over lap, with the edits at 05:10 (UTC) on 7 April 2006.--blue520 10:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mini Kiss

  • Delete, nn band :: Colin Keigher Canada 09:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Will you please investigate before you claim nn. They are notable all around the World and not just an ordinary cover band. --ElectricEye 13:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Also, WP:BAND are "merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind". Electric eye also notes that WP:BAND says: "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ etc) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: ... For performers outside of mass media traditions: ... Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture. NPR has covered them after many many many local publications around the world have covered them". For great justice. 22:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep They are notable in local music scenes around the World. --ElectricEye 13:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
See MiniKiss: Life in a Little People Cover Band, NPR, Pop Culture, April 14, 2006 --ElectricEye 13:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: They also had a bit on MTV's Best Week Ever this past week, and pretty much treated as a sick joke on a par with circus geeks of a bygone day. This may be crossing the notoriety bar, if not in a way they might appreciate. RGTraynor 14:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per ElectricEye. NPR is a reliable source for determining noteworthiness. Captainktainer 16:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is being deleted because the nominator is not interested in little people bands, and so thinks that no one else should be able to read about them. This highlights the problems with the concept of notability. Just because they have a relatively targetted audience, someone will think we should remove them. For great justice. 21:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment - User:For great justice, many articles go through this process and it helps to bring about discussion. Stay objective and comment on content. Making personal comments about others ("nominator is not...."), can get one into trouble in Wikipedia. See Wikipedia's policy on personal attacks. Wikiki!!! ^_^ --User:ElectricEye (talk) 22:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks EE, I did not think that there was anything in my comment that could be called a personal attack. I don't think the nominator would disagree with my reasoning, but if they do, I would invite them to correct me. For great justice. 22:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - I am a little surprised that they could be regarded as a band since they were reported in Hustler magazine in 2004 as: "The band isn't really playing their instruments. In fact, their guitars are made out of wood, and they're singing "karaoke-style" over a Kiss CD." I was advised by the main editor of the Mini Kiss article that "lip-synching is a common practice amongst cover bands." While that may be so, are cover bands that don't even play notable - surely not as bands, perhaps as entertainment acts?--A Y Arktos\talk 22:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • comment Take a look at Lip-sync#Singers_that_have_been_caught_lip-synching before you make a case that singing your own material has anything to do with being a band. Splitting hairs about when a 'band' becomes an 'entertainment act' is going to have huge repercussions on other articles. For great justice. 22:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment: I would distinguish between those who have ben caught lip synching and those who have never done anything else. I understand that Mini Kiss only lip synchs, hence presumably why there are no recordings. Those listed at Lip-sync#Singers that have been caught lip-synching have all claimed to make recordings. I assume people go to see them because they like the music of Kiss and they like looking at little people.--A Y Arktos\talk 23:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I would not presume to know why they go to see them, but the issue of lip-synching, whether sometimes or all the time, is a red herring as far as deletion goes. For great justice. 23:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - Oh, I wouldn't remotely consider them notable as a band. That they do seem to be notable on their own is another matter altogether. RGTraynor 22:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep:I have seen them multiple times on VH1. They are definitely notable. -Bottesini 23:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but the article needs to be expanded and sourced. Wstaffor 01:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, cult band, treated as notable by media like Village Voice, even though the whole spectacle reminds me of what Lenny Bruce said about well-intended freak shows. Monicasdude 03:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: Although I don't believe the band to be of particular notability in the music realm (I'd be wary of them calling a cover band, perhaps cover performers would be the more accurate representation...), I do believe they are notable. ALthough I hadn't heard that particular NPR piece, they were mentioned in a question in last week's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! (stump the listener I think?). Although I don't particularly respect this kind of exploitation (the one in process by the performers themselves), I won't allow that bias to ignore the likely notability of this band. However, the article needs and will need a lot of work. ••\\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\•• 03:45, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep He is notable for securing one of the largest swings to Conservative in the 2005 election and is believed to be in the top swings to not gain a seat ever, as well as his campainging in Chester. It would be a bias for (hence break the NPOV rule) as both the Labour and Lib Dem candidates have their own page.
    • Feel free to nominate them for deletion as well. Fagstein 05:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Not because of bias issues, but because running for public office under a major political party in one of the world's oldest democracies is in and of itself notable. Expand and keep. Captainktainer 17:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment We can't keep articles just to provide a balance of politics, notability for each individual article has to be asserted. Simply being a prominent losing candidate has several times not been considered notable enough - see Antonia Bance, which article was deleted despite her continuing prominence in the seat and her blog and other claims to notability. In contrast, losing candidates who have less subjective claims, e.g. being a local councillor, have won keep votes, hence I didn't think it worthwhile putting up Cllr Mia Jones, the LibDem candidate, up for AfD. We need some consistency. Mtiedemann 23:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I can understand merging non-notable candidates, however this is a notable candidacy, and will remain memorable (even if only amongst Cestrians and polititians.

Comments about M. Jones are irrelevant, as she has not been adopted as a candidate for the next election by the LD's, whereas Offer has, he is one of only c.10 people to be adopted by their respective parties, and was the first candidate after the '05 election to win selection for the following election. 84.64.161.206 12:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

This page reads like advertising for an upcoming Playboy magazine. It contains elements of speculation and is possibly written by the subject or a Playboy representative. Little of it is easily verifiable Delete Maustrauser 10:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Personal essay about a claimed discovery. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. -- RHaworth 11:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok how about this. I'll move it to user:playasoccer like you suggested. Is that ok now? But I tried to move it and it said I could'nt move it. I'll need help with that. Playasoccer 11:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Playasoccer

  • Playasoccer, you can't "move" it by using the move option at the top, because the page User:Playasoccer already exists. You should just copy the text and paste it into wherever you want it on your page.

[edit] Tactics

This page needs to be scrapped and begun again. It could not be less coherent or informative, since it is wholly unstructured and uses circular definitions. Dave1898 11:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - valid topic. Just needs a major cleanup. Davodd 11:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I've turned Tactic into a disambig. page and suggest that Tactics be moved to Tactic (method). Then rewrite per nom. PJM 11:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Sure it needs a major overhaul, but does not mean it has to be erased. grafikm_fr 12:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep — I'll assume good faith on the part of the nom., but really this should have been dealt with through cleanup rather than AfD. :) — RJH 15:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Your assumption of my good faith is touching. I find that far too few articles are deleted, rather than too many. It is preferable that the word tactics return to the ignominy of being a red edit link, and so offer someone who knows something about it the chance to create an entirely new article; cleanup should be for articles with superficial problems, not for articles that have no good points at all. The refusal to delete poor articles is a weakness of Wikipedia, not a strength. Dave1898 17:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Charmed I'm sure. Obviously I disagree with the approach of blasting every page that doesn't immediately live up to some arbitrarily high standard. Wikipedia is still very much a work in progress. :) — RJH
      • Still, the point RJH made is a valid one. Bringing this to AFD wasn't really necessary. Placing a clean-up or expert tag on the article would have been the proper way to go. PJM 18:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Keep, obviously, but tag appropriately (which I will do shortly). AfDing articles on notable, valid and encyclopedic subjects which are just badly written goes exactly against the stated AFD policy Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Georgewilliamherbert 01:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nyle Wolfe

I think it is a vanity page:

  • no page links here,
  • yahoo gives only 24 matches for this name (less than with mine !), and google not much more,
  • article creared by someone with the same last name !
  • Uri given by Monicasdude http://www.hberlioz.com/Archive/d3may.htm does not show this singer importance (a single shared second role) Lvr 11:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep as stub, needs work but is a viable topic. Wstaffor 01:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Google gives a few hundred hits for "Nyle P. Wolfe," with more under various forms of the name, and the second hit shows him playing Figaro in a significant German production (significant as measured by the number of online reviews). Opera, like dance and too many other arts, is barely covered online below the superstar level, but what coverage there is treats him as notable. Monicasdude 03:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Melchizedek Principle

Original, unverifiable research, borders on ad for own site Lundse 13:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because one is merely a redirect for the main page and the rest also further what seems to be one mans theories:

  • The Melchizedek Principle
  • The_Revelatorium
  • Soul Atoms
  • Maldek
  • The Order of Melchizedek

Please visit the Revelatorium Melchizedek Teachings a get an idea of what this is about. If nothing else, all this is original research, IMHO. Lundse 13:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge per thatcher. Kukini 13:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. A sack of assumptions without proofs > /dev/null -- Grafikm_fr 14:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Mmx1 14:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Keep after article rewrite. Still recommend deletion of history prior to blanking, which was what I advocated anyway. --Mmx1 20:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete - crap "article" --Kalsermar 15:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • After rewrite, still voting delete. In its present form 1.5 paragraph actually deals with the subject. See my comment on article's talk page.--Kalsermar 20:51, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverifiable, possible original research. --Terence Ong 15:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - WP:NOR, there is a place for an article on this subject if (heavily) verified WP:V, but this one is not it.--blue520 15:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean-up. Could be a useful article. There's already an article dealing with Propaganda in the People's Republic of China, and there's no inherent why this article couldn't be improved and de-POVed. Fishhead64 15:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean-up. This article, without doubt, needs a lot of attention and it is filled with POV. (In the talk page, I wrote a list of places that it needs references.) But according to the Wikipedia:Deletion Policy, these two problems should cause change, not deletion. The article should be pruned mercilessly and closely edited to meet Wikipedia's standards... but not deleted. Chip Unicorn 18:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral leaning delete Good name, bad article. maybe just redirect to Media :) --Darkfred Talk to me 18:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • While I agree with much of the contents, I don't see anything verifiable as a source for any of it. Mostly WP:NOR and WP:NPOV violations. Weak keep and cleanup because this might be a slightly better starting point than deleting and rewriting from scratch. Topic is encyclopedic per precedents such as Propaganda in the People's Republic of China, but it's a POV magnet which will provoke edit wars. A sensitive topic and a poorly-documented early version aren't sufficient reasons to delete. Barno 18:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Utterly dreadful article full of unsourced generalisations, perjorative statements and assumptions. Nontheless the subject is valid and should stay. Keep. DJ Clayworth 18:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom  Funky Monkey  (talk)  19:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I think the core issue is whether this article title is inherently POV, that is, is it a matter of controversy whether or not the US government issues propaganda. If the answer's yes, then the topic deserves examination. Article needs a lot of work, maybe it's overly broad, and it will be controversial, but should be kept. --Lockley 22:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Valid topic, but badly needs de-POVing and sources. BryanG 23:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean up. For great justice. 23:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable and probably all OR. Resubmit if heavily edited and proper sources provided. Wstaffor 02:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete based on current content -- just a mass of generalities with a diversion into the issue of censorship. A legitimate article on this topic is possible, but this isn't it. --Metropolitan90 03:30, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and start over, this is just sloppy. Gazpacho 17:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep, not the first article that had a bad start. Gazpacho 19:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep and Cleanup - In one form or another this article should remain: It is an issue of global concern, whether or not claims within are valid. De-POV, and probably remove the "Propaganda in Advertisement"; it's tautological as advertisement is inherently propagandist. Cathal 16:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I see that a few editors have largely blanked the article and rewritten it from scratch. Although there are still some POV problems, it is no longer in need of outright deletion, so I'm withdrawing my AfD nomination. --rehpotsirhc 16:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - It's valid, I have started a translation into Spanish.--tequendamia 16:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • That something is tautological is no reason not to mention it (with citations). Gazpacho 23:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but clean up - As it is it's a bloody mess, and not wothy of a place in an encyclopedia. However, there are a lot of things worth consideration in the article that would be a shame to waist.Islander(Scandinavia) 22:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The fact this article has been reported for deletion is absurd and pretty ironic! It's like trying to say propaganda doesn't exist in america and at the same time demonstating that it does! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.218.235.18 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete but Redo Idea is good, current article is s@#t. Mbralchenko 21:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I want the article, in its future state. Would need a lot of real development. Shenme 03:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - content is so broad as to be redundant with Media of the United States, but with a heavy POV slant. Any unique content should be merged with Propaganda --Ajdz 06:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Needs work but a notable subject which can develop into a constructive article.--Cini 19:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and Clean up. This article definitly has potential, all it needs is some further research, editing, and citing of sources. --Malgalad 17:21, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment - It already has a (better) start at Propaganda. You could consider splitting that article by geography, but it would lose a lot of important context. --Ajdz 00:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Valid topic. we have many country specific articles for major topics like culture, dance, demographics. Propaganda is one of big ones, even judging from the size of the article. `'mikka (t) 16:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Cinemann

The presence of high schools on Wikipedia is already a debated issue. Whether or not they are considered encyclopedic is usually the main concern. However, unnoteworthy high school publications surely do not warrant their own page. Wikster72 15:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • delete it reads like a vanity article. If it can be cleaned up and shown to have some notability i could change my vote. David D. (Talk) 15:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. If someone can clean it-up, why not keeping it, delete otherwise. --Grafikm_fr 15:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. School is notable, but notability does not attach. Nor, contra article, does editor's onetime appearance on cable make it (nor, I daresay, the editor in question) notable. Daniel Case 15:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge encyclopedic content to Horace Mann School (New York City). --Dystopos 17:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Dystopos. I don't really see this as notable enough to require a separate article; but info can certainly fit well into the school's article. --Ed (Edgar181) 20:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and Merge to the main school article per precedent. pm_shef 20:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One Boer - One Bullet

Extreme POV article without reliable references (the only reference points to an equally extreme POV website), created by an author User:Alcatel whose edits include addition of many unreferenced POV and racist statements to South Africa related articles. Also, in the context of South African history this slogan is nowhere near as politically significant as "One Settler, One Bullet", it is in fact a complete non-entity. Delete per WP:NPOV, WP:RS and WP:N as per above. Zunaid 15:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Clarification: While the POV argument above should not solely be used as a deletion criteria, it should be considered IN ADDITION to the fact that in the context of South African politics, "One Boer, One Bullet" doesn't even register, as indicated by Barno's argument below. While there is no inclusion criteria for slogans as such, I would assume it has to be well-known and in widespread usage, in which case there should be plenty of newspaper articles citing its use. Compared to "One Settler, One Bullet" and "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer", this slogan is insignificant and undeserving of its own article. Zunaid 07:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment to closing admin: Many of the votes so far are for "keep and cleanup". As I've mentioned before, too many articles survive AfD based on these without the cleanup subsequently taking place. IMHO these votes should rightly be considered "delete unless rewritten". Zunaid 07:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep POV but should be improved, not deleted.--estavisti 15:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. If it can be cleaned up, why not... Grafikm_fr 16:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • And if it can't be? Zunaid 07:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Wikipedia is large, slogans of similar significance are already mentioned if they are related to USA or Western Europe - South African topics are still more scarce on Wikipedia, but I am trying to change this. Alcatel 16:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, as per estavisti. It can be cleaned up. dewet|™ 16:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - if its POV lets deleted; what a stupid logic. Luka Jačov 17:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep slogan seems semi-notable but I don't really like the title. Kotepho 17:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Google shows little use of this slogan (searching for variations): Mostly just the linked website (which is not a reliable source) and some sites claiming a hacker left such a message. Luka Jačov is encouraged to read WP:NPOV, one of Wikipedia's three core principles. If more evidence of widespread usage and significance comparable to "One Settler, One Bullet" is provided, I'll vote to keep, but pending that, I'm leaning toward weak delete. Barno 19:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Cleanup as above. Wstaffor 02:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the widely known "One Settler, One Bullet". The use of "One Boer - One Bullet" seems very minor, if it is used at all. Elf-friend 08:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: I have created the "One Settler, One Bullet" article. Once this discussion has been closed, I will redirect this minor variant of it towards that article (where it will be mentioned). Elf-friend 09:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. As the article says, "One Boer - One Bullet is a very minor slogan in use in South Africa". There is, I would suggest, no practical limit to the number of "very minor slogans". Redirect per Elf-friend is fine by me as well, since that is a notable slogan (not least in that it has achieved some kind of presence outside South Africa) Just zis Guy you know? 17:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  •  :The words "very minor slogan" were added by Elf-friend. Alcatel 07:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
    • True ... and I stand behind my addition - the slogan has almost no Google hits and no coverage in any reputable press outlet that I am aware of. (And I must add that I am both a "Pretorianer" and a graduate of the University of Pretoria, where the slogan was apparently used.) This slogan is not in widespread use in South Africa and not deserving of its own article ... it is a minor variant of a much more famous slogan. Elf-friend 08:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Elf-friend. -- Visviva 23:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per Elf-friend. -Kieran 10:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I read the article. It's a ball game played in the kitchen. Ordinarily it would be deleted for non-notability. However, it's tenative claim of "millions" of players qualifies it as a hoax instead. Rklawton 15:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asia Carrera

This article is not verifiable, and is therefore in conflict with WP:V. I know this woman exists, and I've seen her in porn videos, but other than that, there's no reliable information about her. From WP:V: "The three policies are non-negotiable and cannot be superseded by any other guidelines or by editors' consensus." We don't even know her birth name for sure. In the article, it's listed as "Jessica Andrea Steinhauser," but on her website she says that her father is Japanese and her mother is German. If her parents were as strict and traditional as she says, she'd have a Japanese last name. That discrepancy makes me doubt Asia herself as a reliable source. This is definitely not the only discrepancy in her biographical information. Without WP:RS, we can't have an article. I'm not objecting to how she became famous (porn), I'm objecting to the lack of reliable sources and the impossibility of verification. Should porn star articles be held to a lower or different standard of verifiability than articles on other living people? I don't think so. Erik the Rude 17:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Verifiable sources can be found such as imdb.com. Also this would not be the first person with disputed birthdate and name. Many people from before the 18th century have dubious birthdates. Should we delete Christopher Columbus because we are not sure when or where he was born? Joelito 17:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
The Internet Movie Database contradicts itself on Asia Carrera, and is therefore not a reliable source. I don't see what Christopher Columbus has to do with this. He has reliable sources. Erik the Rude 17:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually, he doesn't. Columbus has (partly conflicting) information in various unofficial and "official" (but not edited or peer-reviewed) documents. They qualify as "the most reliable sources available" and can be cited as such, but we don't treat them as absolute proof. IMDB, on the other hand, can have unverified information inserted by actors or wannabees or fans, so we treat it as just another pointer to possible information, whether self-contradictory or not. Barno 19:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep To the extent of verifying a porn actress' real name, they should be held to a slightly lower standard of verifiability than someone not in that... industry. Anonymity is part and parcel of being in porn, and the stage name is more important for their work in any case, but like the Venerable Bede. Furthermore, in the United States children of Asian immigrants often have a non-Asian last name- whether matrilinearly acquired or invented- because of perceptions that it would reduce prejudice when interacting with government. Furthermore, the article itself cites IMDB as well as her personal website as sources, and her ethnic background is (tangentially) discussed in this article from the SFGate. At any rate, there is information in the article that is a matter of public record (her marriage, for instance), and whatever controversy there might be over her name is not grounds for deleting the entire article. If you want to point out some things that you see as discrepancies in her self-provided information, I'd recommend pointing them out in cleanup or someplace other than AfD. Captainktainer 18:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep don't think possibly incorrect information is a good reason to delete an article. If its incorrect fix it or add verify tags, don't send it to AFD. The subject is obviously notable. (plus to some it might smell of censorship) --Darkfred Talk to me 18:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I know I smell something... Fagstein 06:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep beat it down to a substub but I'm sure there is some verifiable stuff. I don't really care about her real name. I wonder if she still reads HardOCP. Kotepho 18:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes. Beat it down. Fagstein 06:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup, one of the five most notable people in her field, has sustained this status for years. Plenty of verifiable media coverage can be found. Porn stars' real names are not crucial to proper encyclopedic coverage, and (as in the Jordan Capri controversy in these pages) could cause their own troubles even if verified. Barno 19:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Beyond that, as far as I see so far, I'm the only editor signing a comment with anything other than a pseudonym, which is ironic in this conversation. RGTraynor 19:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I use my real surname. I only display naked opinions online, not naked flesh, and I don't think these comments will draw obsessed stalkers. Aren't you afraid of overeager fans of Dick Traynor's NASCAR Modified racing from the 1980s (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York) mistaking you for him? Barno 20:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • No, nor from fans of the Robert Traynor who's an English soccer striker, nor from the bit actor of that name, and I'm probably safe from crazed fans of my (90-year-old) eponymous grandfather as well. Life's too short. RGTraynor 22:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Although the issues of verifiability are interesting, IMHO they pertain more to page content, not whether or not she deserves an entry. --Lockley 20:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep! Enough information is given to verify all the stuff you are arguing about. Her marriages are public record, and have her legal name.

  • Comment He shows up in Peacekeeper Wars at least once, and I think twice. He's frequently discussed (or complained about) during the series and plays an important role in Rygel's backstory. As for merging, the Farscape article isn't very well set up to list by character rather than by actor. I wouldn't be averse to a merge, but until the Farscape page is reformatted to accept it or until there's an appropriate, separate article with a list of the Farscape characters, we should keep it where it is. I strongly urge against deleting for the simple fact that he does hold some importance, and WP:FICT explicitly warns not to delete meaningful content.Captainktainer 00:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I merged it into Farscape and it was promptly removed. The proposed list into which there was to have been a merge debate has been deleted and nobody contributed to the debate - nobody cares! So we should keep it because it's too trivial to merge anywhere? Dlyons493 Talk
  • Comment It's not so much that it's too trivial to merge, it's that there isn't a list or article that's set up for the merge. I'm going to head on over to Farscape to find out why the merge was reverted; maybe Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol thought it was vandalism. Update- I was just over at Farscape and couldn't even find the merge in the logs; it seems from your talk page that User:Kotepho reverted the merge. Since a merge has been tried but for whatever reason failed, I'd like to recommend that we keep until someone can either set up List of minor Farscape characters or merge into Farscape.Captainktainer 08:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Then I suggest you create the list and do the merge since nobody else seems interested. Dlyons493 Talk
  • Merge complete - I merged the article into the List of minor Farscape characters article, along with some other stubs. It's a kludge job and I hope others will help me clean it up, but we can now redirect the Dominar Bishan article, assuming no further objections materialize.Captainktainer 20:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Very close to a speedy. No documentation offered (date this game was played?), but perhaps some hardcore American football fans can confirm whether or not this "famous" incident ever took place. -- Curps 18:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Actually, it did, in the 1982 playoffs, and engendered a change in the league rules concerning such things. Even as a Patriots' fan, though, since this was the only remotely newsworthy event of Henderson's life, I can't in good conscience give this one a keep. I'd Merge it into the Pats' article at best.Redirect and Delete; see below. RGTraynor 18:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete We should only have biographical articles if there is a reasonable liklihood of being able to put together a full life story up to date of death, whenever it happens, and I doubt anyone will publish his obituary. Hawkestone 19:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, I'm sure they will, as it was a significant event in football in the 1980s (there's a reasonable, but biased, summary here). However, I think this article would be better if it were to undergo a rename as The Snow Plow Game (which currently redirects to National Football League lore, where it can be found in the 80s list), with more info about the game and Henderson's effect on it. I'm not a Patriots expert but User:Deckiller is, and might be able to expand it under this new name.--Mike Selinker 20:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. After looking at the NFL Lore page, that's all this incident needs. This needs no more than to redirect there. RGTraynor 20:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, or merge into New England Patriots. Insufficiently notable for a bio article; doubtful whether this is an important enough part of the team's or sport's history to be worth even a one-sentence mention. Barno 19:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Changing vote to redirect to National Football League lore in agreement with RGTraynor. Even to someone looking up "the Snowplow Game", will the plower's name or his ex-con status be relevant to the story? Barno 22:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into History of the New England Patriots (or New England Patriots if people agree that it's significant enough to be placed in a concise summary section). — Deckiller 20:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I didn't notice it there. That's really all that needs to be said, until someone decides to write a full article. So I'd agree with the merge into History of the New England Patriots (rather than New England Patriots) at this time.--Mike Selinker 20:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Yeah. One of the major debates during the Patriots' FA bid was how much infomation to include in the actual article itself. As a matter of fact, I just finished fixing up an excellent addition about the Hartford deal that I think borderlines inclusion, and the main article could use some more "lore" information" to even out the edges. — Deckiller 20:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amiga software piracy

Chris has merged it into Amiga software piracy. How about redirecting Amiga software piracy to software piracy then? - Richardcavell 11:22, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge (done) then Delete make into a redirect to Amiga Software.
The article is neither speculative nor random. It gets the technical and social details right, and explains how the technical details mattered. It does not discuss the software piracy debate (whether, why and why not); instead it concentrates on the piracy process (why disk-based protection did not work on the Amiga, what Amiga publishers used instead). Note also that Software piracy redirects to Copyright infringement of software, which address the legal and ethical aspects of piracy quite well, but says nothing whatsoever about the technical aspects. Can I suggest that a little more effort in reading the articles under discussion might avoid future embarrassment?
Nevertheless, being somewhat of a mergist, I have WP:BOLDly merged the content of the article into Amiga software#Piracy. Not being an admin, I'll let someone else delete it.
Cheers, CWC(talk) 10:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. It needs cleanup and removal of some parts that may be copyvio. However, a google search for "Z-day +zombies" uncovers a fairly large (10,000+) number of hits from Kotaku, Kuro5hin, and Technorati, and Z-Day is part of the title of one of the Shaun of the Dead special features.

[edit] Armenian Genocide and Turkish National Movement

POV fork, no significant information pschemp | talk 18:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Golfcam 21:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Obvious delete. The name of the article doesn't mean much, doesn't correspond to the content, and the content is just unrelated, I still have no clue about what this article is. Fad (ix) 23:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I do understand what the article is about and how it relates to the title, but it is so badly written that there is little that can be done with it. If there is sufficient popular demand, I could try to paraphrase it into something understandable. It is strongly POV, from the Armenian side. If someone should think that is an issue: wake up: almost all content on the issue present on Wikipedia (and elsewhere) is poisoned with POV assumptions, terms and phrases, whether from one side or the other. There is some valid but not terribly interesting content here; it would take more effort than I can muster to try and see if it is represented elsewhere. And then I'm not even mentioning the effort of finding reliable neutral sources for verifiability. LambiamTalk 02:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
      • That this article is POV from the Armenian side is questionable. It has been created by a Turk, the same that undangered the integrity of the main article. Why has he created an article which appear at first impression 'pro-Armenian' as you might call it, I have my suspicions but I'd rather not say it here, besides, does it make any difference that a bad quality articles POV is pro what? As it is, this entry from what it is now, doesn't have a justifiable existance. Also, I beg to disagree, and strongly, and I even find it offensive that you'd go as far as using the term 'poisoned' for 'almost all content,' but having yourself questioned the name of the main article because you considered it 'loaded,' I can't tell that it would have surprised me that the content itself isen't satisfying you, but the word poisoned was misplaced. Fad (ix) 03:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
        • What I mean by 'poisoned' is that if part of an article is POV it taints the whole article. I didn't mean to be offensive. I'm curious as to your suspicions, but maybe I shouldn't ask. LambiamTalk 07:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Golfcam 21:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • keep - I've done a fair amount of research on this topic since moving this page and cleaning it up many months ago. It's a real phenomenon, which is not a matter for debate at all. It is covered in a number of external sources, and is related to serious medical conditions (colovaginal fistula, for example, has related symptoms as described in the article). How, exactly is this not an encyclopedic article? Is it the cataloging of slang terms (something which many Wikipedia articles do; e.g. fuck) or is it the fact that pornography is referenced (again, this is an attempt to be complete, not to dwell on what might offend). How can we not cover this topic? How many external references are required for an article of this length? Why would an article be deleted for having less citation than that, rather than enhancing the citations? -Harmil 21:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • comment - A few more sources [10] German link. The problem is that this condition is not a treatable disease or syndrom, though it can be a symptom. For example, "Symptoms of genitourinary prolapse: [...] Coital difficulties–dyspareunia, loss of vaginal sensation, vaginal flatus" [11] -Harmil 21:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment The subject may be caused by legitimate conditions like colovaginal fistula or female genital prolapse, but it's included in a range of symptoms for these conditions. It only deserves mention in the articles on these conditions. Then there's the section on prevention which merits deletion because Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. This leaves the slang section which is just another way for someone to insert "pussy fart" and "queef" in the encyclopedia, and the pornography section which is merely one sentence. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 22:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Malber, I realize that pussy fart and queef might not be pleasant words for most polite conversation, but they're certainly terms that are widely used. Why should they not appear on Wikipedia? As for the first part of your comment: I'm not sure that it makes sense to discuss the same phenomenon in multiple articles without giving it an article of its own. You also claimed that the article was "woefully undersourced except for links to an urban dictionary" in the listing summary. Could you please retract that comment, since it is a rather serious misrepresentation of the article (which contains 4 inline citations and 3 external links including links to sites such as UHRAD, WebMD and Medical Tribune). If someone has better references, please feel free to add them, but I think that this article is about as well sourced as one could expect at this point. I agree that the prevention section could be re-worded to avoid an instructional tone, and rather survey techniques more objectively... which I have now done. -Harmil 18:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 7 ways that slaves in the South Resisted Slavery

There are more ways of resisting slavery than just 7, and none of these are particularly unique to slavery in the South, or rather the South of the United States. Also this article as it now stands appears to focus on failure and lack of organization, not to mention seeming to divide the United States into "slaves" and "whites" Hackwrench 20:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kayode Modupe-Ojo

Blatant hoax. No such person plays football for Bolton Wanderers or basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters. A Google search for his name shows nothing except a couple of postings to forums with similar false information, and a school newsletter from 2001 [13]. Article has previously had {{prod}} added, but original author APC News (talk • contribs) removed notice. Delete. Qwghlm 21:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Additional: The article Olukayode Modupe-Ojo covers the same person; although it is only a stub it is just as false as the larger article and should be deleted as well. Qwghlm 12:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. I had previously brought my concerns to the author's attention. As I mentioned on his talk page I'd not been back, except to notice that he'd been editting, presumably in response to my criticisms. Back when the article was created I'd done what checking I could, and I had found only a couple news blogs mentioning this person's name, and always about a team being interested, testing out, considering him, etc. I added a {{prod}} with a reason, and echoed that with further explanation on the author's talk page. Since I don't know if my 'research' was sufficient, I won't vote here.

What i can say tho is that apart from the naming of bwfc as his current club, everything else seems to match up with the research I did on him (and it wasnt via google). I have a few contacts that work for bwfc and they have (sort of) heard of him. I dont think he deserves a mention on wiki coz he isnt a full-fledged premiership player.

The result of the debate was delete.

[edit] Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ

This is a theological essay expressing the author's point of view. Proposed for deletion by User:(aeropagitica), reverted by author.

Note Rfamily, edited this nomination to add Keep to the top. Obviously it is a delete nomination.
Note -from Rfamily it was not intentional to put a keep at top-editing page is new to me. This article is good and I wanted to put my keepvote, started at the top, realized I needed to go to the end didn't realize I'd saved. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Delete per WP:NOT for essays, not a soapbox, WP:NOR. Author made a good effort to adapt early parts to encyclopedic style, but the article's focus and conclusions advocate theological positions. For comparison, see Baptism which describes what various religions believe in neutral point of view manner based on widely published sources approved by church councils. Although the phrase used as the nominated article's title is used in different Christian religions, I'm not sure it's significant enough to keep as a redirect to Baptism. Barno 22:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect into Baptism Needs cleanup though, the majority of section three is too verbose for an encyclopedic article.

  • Strong keep. This is not "problem solving for dummies" but a quality methodology (you are not a consultant, are you? - no, don't hit me please! :), see for instance here or here. It is crappily written and might be a copyvio, that's true, but it has to exist... Grafikm_fr 23:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Whatever it is, the article in this form is exactly "do it yourself" and nothing else. I did see it mentioned in internet (I can use google, you know), and the several pages I've looked at were just like this article: a list of 1, 2, 3... 8. `'mikka (t) 15:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
      • here This link has 250 slides describing the method. It is more than enough IMHO... :) Grafikm_fr 16:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
        • HOwever many slides, only 35 unique google hits suggests me a very little notability. There are hundreds quality control silver bullets in the world. Which third party (besides consultants) discuss this approach? `'mikka (t) 16:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Nomination withdrawn. It turns out that the most common term is 8D Problem Solving, and it seems quite visible, although the article needs work. `'mikka (t) 16:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lord Byng Senior Wind Ensemble

Not-notable. I am an alumni of the school, and I can attest to the fact it is a good band, but it do not deserve a wiki entry. Merge or Delete Geedubber 23:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete: not of notability -Bottesini 23:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

There aren't any sources, specifically, that will support the idea that it is "well-recognized" as the best senior group in Vancouver OR British Columbia. In addition, with all due respect to members of this group, the regular invitations for the group to play throughout Lower Mainland does not necessarily indicate that it is a good band. The lack of sources, nevertheless, make this article extremely suspicious that this entry is used to "advertise", but not genuinely inform of readers. Good candidate for Wikipedia deletion.

[edit] Destiny (song)

It's just some copied and pasted lyrics- it doesn't even tell you anything about the song. In addition, I'm pretty sure lyrics are copyrighted. --Bottesini 23:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I have quickly investigated the lyrics via Google, and have discovered that these lyrics belong to a song named "Destiny" performed by the group called "Zero 7".
    Nevertheless, Bottesini is probably right about lyrics being copyrighted. Furthermore, this article does not add information to Wikipedia(other than the fact that the original author of this article liked it enough to place it on Wikipedia), and does not deserve a Wikipedia entry. AWDRacer 00:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Um, so i guess that means a delete vote? -Bottesini 00:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Cleanup. The song is somewhat notable but if it remains as is it is an obvious delete per nom. SorryGuy 00:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as copyvio (without prejudice to creation of legitimate article if song is actually notable). There is nothing in this article but the lyrics. If someone wants to try again with a proper article and convince us that it is a notable song, they can. However, never having heard of this song or the apparent artist, I am somewhat skeptical that it is sufficiently notable to warrant an article. But I could be wrong. --Metropolitan90 02:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
    • The article is no longer a copyvio, but I'm still not convinced the song is notable enough for an article. --Metropolitan90 08:27, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
