[edit] James Vincenzo Capone

non notable Al Capone brother Melaen 00:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, cleanup and expand (in fact, although I didn't make this article, I'll take care of it myself). His notability can be established by a simple google search and reading online sources like these [1] [2], not to mention his family bonds and his law enforcement career. There are much more obscure historical characters who already have an article - I fail to see why this one shouldn't deserve its own. - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable by association. Member of a legendary crime family, with a sufficiently interesting biography of his own [3] to warrant an article. --Ezeu 00:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand, per Phaedriel. OhnoitsJamieTalk 00:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand per Phaedirel. --Terence Ong 03:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Al Capone's brother went into law enforcement? I never knew that until now. Fascinating. Obviously keep. Grandmasterka 08:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - has some notability. Latinus 18:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep lamentably insufficient coverage of a notable figure. The brother of probably the most notorious gangster in history becomes a law-enforcement officer? There's got to be a story in there worth telling! Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 21:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Mariah Carey remixes

An article on this topic was originally created at Remixography of Mariah Carey, and was subsequently deleted (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Remixography of Mariah Carey). The content of this new article is different enough from the earlier article that it does not qualify for speedy deletion, but the reasons for why it was deleted still stand. All of the articles on Carey's singles contain information about their most notable remixes and alternative versions. This article, however, fails to establish the notability of any of these remixes or if they were officially commissioned by Carey's record label. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Extraordinary Machine 00:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete for the same reasons as the other AFD. --Ezeu 00:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The artist Steven Friedland formerly os Apple Records. Hit single banned in the world....King of Fuh.

I'm not sure I even can decipher what the page says, but it seems to be about a non-notable musical group. See WP:Music Liamdaly620 00:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails to meet WP:MUSIC and fails to establish a decent level of writing...Image:Weather rain.pngSoothingR 00:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, indecipherable nonsense. No relevant Google results, and sourced in a non notable blog. - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Deciphering: Brute Force was on the Beatles' Apple Records briefly, and had some cult fame due to a banned single called "The King of Fuh" (chorus: "All hail the Fuh King"). He's great, and probably does warrant an article. This is not that article. Delete. — sjorford (talk) 00:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cartridge Comics

Delete this article on a non-notable webcomic which fails WP:WEB. There is no claim to notability in the article and my attempts to find any verifiable reliable sources (through google, nexis, etc.) for this article have all failed.

[edit] Erhard D. Hahn

  • Delete this non-notable bio whose subject returned no true positive Goolge hits. Possible vanity judging by the contributor of the image. Draeco 00:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete The information source can be verified via Alberta History. Photograph source did not come from the the subject matter, but did come from a family. --Onecanuck 00:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Where and how exactly can this be verified? --Rob 01:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. He is probably a pillar of his community, and certainly respected and loved by his neigbors and family members, but that is not enough to warrant an article in an encyclopedia. --Ezeu 00:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Even if the content can be verified it does not seem notable. Crunch 00:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Ezeu; fails WP:BIO. OhnoitsJamieTalk 00:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Being the founder and/or creator of a law enforcement agency would be a sufficient claim of notability, but the article specifically denotes his role as an advisor - far too little to assert significance. Most of the contents goes in praising the importance of the Louis Bull Police Service, not the subject of the article. Add to all these its complete unverifiability, and the result is clear: delete. - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nominator, does not meet WP:BIO inclusion guidelines. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for lack of verifiability. Even a search through newspapers and magazines that aren't free online, doesn't turn up anything. If the person's contributions were all covered and verified by the media, he would easily qualify as notable. If somebody finds press coverage mentioning him, I may change my vote. --Rob 01:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - No 3rd party verification. Ruby 01:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete - Unfortunately, this is unverifiable. Ashibaka tock 04:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete per nom. --Terence Ong 05:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geronimo Jackson

DELETE - No record of album having ever been bought or sold- JM Band does not actually exist. Unverifiable. Lostcruft. — TheKMantalk 00:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, per nom. [4] PJM 01:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. There appears to be a debate at the Lost television series forums and blogs (where its current claim of notability is allegedly asserted) whether or not this band ever existed. Nearly all online sources appear to agree that it actually never did, and that in fact the production mistook a certain band named Geronimo Black for some reason. Thus there is no real reason to keep an article that seems to assume otherwise. - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 01:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong keep As article says, mentioned in an episode of the television show Lost -- & information about this band (even verification whether it existed or was invented by the show's writers) is badly desired by every viewer of Lost. Sheesh, take a peak at any Lost discussion site on the Internet. (Want examples? I can furnish examples.) I believe so firmly that we should keep this article that I am willing to take extreme measures to keep it, but am quite willing to discuss the matter first. -- llywrch 16:18, 23 January 2006 (UTC) After a discussion with LeFlyman yesterday, I still say Keep, but will accept the determination of the Admin who closes this discussion. -- llywrch 17:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You raise an interesting point. I was considering changing my vote until I read your last sentence. What do you mean "I am willing to take extreme measures to keep it"? Are you saying you would not abide by the consensus decision made here? Sunray 16:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I am saying that to delete this article would be a grave mistake, & am emphasing just how fiercely I believe this. Part of my zeal for this article is out of surprise that no one else until this moment has spoken up in defense of it -- even an article that said it was a fictional band & never existed outside of Lost would justify the article's existence. (However, this morning I discovered a web page about this group & added it to the article, so I'd say that either it did exist or is a noteable hoax by the creators of Lost.) In short, had I a "save this article" chit as a long-time contributor to Wikipedia (or any credibility), I would spend it on this article. -- llywrch 16:52, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
        • even an article that said it was a fictional band & never existed outside of Lost would justify the article's existence -- that's where you and most everyone else here disagrees. As for that link you added, there's no there there. As I noted on the article's talk page, domain registrant information suggests that this is just another hoax website set up by ABC or some enterprising fan. If that's what it is, it deserves a brief mention in a couple of the Lost articles, just like the rest of the hoax sites. android79 16:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not every Lost fan wants this page up on Wikipedia. I sure don't, because that's not what Wikipedia is for. Go hog wild about this on The Fuselage or some other fan forum, but Wikipedia is not a fansite, not a place for OR, unverifiable content, or speculation. As someone who's both a dedicated fan of Lost and someone who's worked very hard to get and keep the Lost articles in encyclopedic shape, I find your assertions inaccurate distortions of the truth and potentially harmful to the work so many others have dedicated their time to. Baryonyx 18:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Baronyx, I assume you'd rather delete this article instead of trying to rewrite it into acceptible form? If this article is deleted, & later events prove that either the group did exist, or it was important to the plot of Lost, it will be more difficult to recreate this article than you may think. According to current practice, deleting this article means it goes away with little or no chance of recreation. -- llywrch 22:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • That's also incorrect. If this band suddenly becomes an important plot point in the show or otherwise notable, there's nothing stopping anyone from recreating it. If it's deleted, you can even request that someone undelete the old content through deletion review. android79 22:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: There's no acceptable form for an article like this, with virtually no verifiable content and non-notability besides a less than 20s scene on Lost. What can it be reduced to? One unexpandable line. That's like saying we should have left the page 540 when its sole contents were (4+8+15+16+23+42)*5. It won't be difficult to recreate the article... notice the page 4 8 15 16 23 42 which was resurrected recently, and instead of being deleted this time, is headed to a redirect. I'm most certainly not opposed to having this page resurrected should the band one day prove pivotal. But, the situation with Lost cruft has gotten beyond reasonable limits, and I'm of the opinion that these types of pages are an embarrassment and discouragement to those who diligently work on the Lost articles. As editors, it is our responsibility to hold Wikipedia to a higher standard of quality in the information we present. We've just deleted the article on the "security system", for example, because of its hefty OR and unverifiability. Will there possibly be a page on the "security system" when the show is done? Sure thing. But just because the "security system" may one day have its own page does not mean that we have to have any old poor quality page that gets made now. There's just not enough on the "security system" to merit an encyclopedic article under Wikipedia policies and guidelines. The same applies to this "band": it may very well be that this is critical to the future of the show (which, note is speculation)... but what may one day be is not an excuse for retaining a substandard article that lowers the quality of Wikipedia. Baryonyx 06:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and replace with redirect to Episodes of Lost (season 2)#The Hunting Party. Everything that can be said about this "band" at this point is already covered in the episode synopsis. This is/was unverifiable fancruft of the sort that will get re-created over and over again. android79 16:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete. Does not even merit discussion -- this is a hoax page. There is no band "Geronimo Jackson" which ever topped the charts in August 1978 (See this Canadian chart list for August 19, 1978)-- it was created for LOST, likely based on an actual band from 1972, "Geronimo Black," formed by a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. (Incidentally, check out the fourth song on the real album.)—LeFlyman 17:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. If Driveshaft (another Lost band) has a wiki page, why can't other fictional aspects of the show?. toxikgrrl 16:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This article isn't being advocated for deletion merely because its a fictional band. It is advocated for deletion as non-notable, unverifiable, originally researched cruft material, mentioned for a few seconds in a single episode. There's a rather obvious difference between being a factual, accurate article on a recurring fictional character and a made-up article of a very minor fictional reference, IMHO. As for DriveShaft, I don't think it should be an article, either, even if it is Charlie's band. However, it has more accurate content derived from the show itself, and a more central role to a main character, so the argument for that band's inclusion has stronger footing than this one's.Baryonyx 18:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

      • Actually, hoax articles do fit the criteria ("Hoaxes in Wikipedia are considered vandalism"). Just because it's not specifically addressed on CSD, does not necessarily mean that it's not appropriate for speed deletion. Reducing the load on AfD by improving the Speed-Delete categories has been an on-going discussion. This highlights one area that has been "overlooked."—LeFlyman 22:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Err, this article isn't a hoax. It's an article about a hoax. android79 22:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
        • To clarify: prior to your revising it, the content of the article was made-up (i.e. a hoax) about a fictional band; hence it was a "meta-hoax". The material didn't even refer to the fan-hoax recently registered Web site. Now that it's a single verifiable sentence, it's no longer a hoax, but may never grow beyond the stub.—LeFlyman 00:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

And yes, the worst case running time is indeed infinite, so there is no guarantee the algorithm will ever finish. Imagine a case where it always swaps the same two items, for example.

  • Keep. It is useful in the study of the analysis of algorithms. -- Mikeblas 15:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The bozo sort is simply a trivial variation of the bogo sort. The concept of an algorithm that does random changes to a set until it happens to get it in sorted order is useful in algorithm analysis but these two algorithms are far too similar to deserve individual articles. JIP | Talk 16:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with bogo sort. They are vaguely useful in comparison of sorting algorithms (e.g. "efficiency of sorting algorithms range from the unimaginably inefficient bozo sort, through the naive O(n2) sorts, to the fast O(nlogn) sorts") --대조 | Talk 17:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

There is also a film festival located in Shreveport, Louisiana that supports and encourages the 2 second film style. [MovieSauce.org] (Which has recieved entries from the entire world, and other festivals such as Slamdance, which is held in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival.) Also, the term 2 second Movie is not ligitimate because there are no "movies" that are 2 second style - only shorts.

[edit] Robert S. Mendelsohn

This is not a useful page about an interesting person. The authors are mainly noted for efforts to present poorly reasoned attacks on vaccination in a wide and inappropriate variety of articles. The Quackwatch commentary linked from the page is informative.--Midgley 01:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Change my vote to Keep. He appears to have been a notable critic upon further research, but the article needs to be greatly expanded, especially regarding his criticisms. Liamdaly620 08:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • keep: Just another dubious attempt at suppression, and clearly at odds with the Wiki's policies on articles regarding published authors. The quackpot site epitomizes the undercurrents of abysmal attacks on informed consent prevalent in Western medicine. This AfD appears to reveal a degree of contempt towards informed medical debate, a sentiment evidently embraced unabashedly by those editors who have proposed, in recent months, the several AfDs on articles about critics of medical orthodoxy.

If you doubt his notability, just do a Google search for "Robert S Mendelsohn" - over 10,000 results, nearly all of them about the person in question. Him being considered a "quack" does not make an article about him any less interesting or encyclopedic. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 04:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, per AdelaMay. The Dr. might or might not be bonkers, but is borderline notable just for publications and chair/president of this and that. The controversy around him tips him into the clearly notable category, IMHO. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 11:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep i can't say it any better, so i'll just iterate: Anyone who was the author of several books, past president of the National Health Federation, chairman of Illinois' Medical Licensing Committee, well-known conference/TV/radio speaker, etc should certainly have a Wikipedia article, no matter how bogus his ideas were. If you doubt his notability, just do a Google search for "Robert S Mendelsohn" - over 10,000 results, nearly all of them about the person in question. Him being considered a "quack" does not make an article about him any less interesting or encyclopedic. --jfg284 you were saying? 13:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Due to the fact that the google hits exceed 10,000, he has authored several books and has other various credentials; this decision should not even spark a contention. -- Salluste|talk 15:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC-5)
  • Comment: Looking at the first couple of pages of Google hits, he is mentioned quite a lot (perhaps because there are few MDs who provide similar quotes) but there isn't much substance to the actual mentions. Some of what there is is rather odd - a claim that Aspirin alters blood clotting factors for instance - that would be Warfarin, Aspirin alters platelet adhesion - and reduces vitamin C on a "nutritional" site.
I'm not American, and it is hard to judge what the National Health Federation is about. Is it more like the BMA than the National Front, to use an English example?
if kept, this article needs to be written, and shuold be written about the man, rather to multiply copies of ideas already covering elsewhere.Midgley 15:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep he was the most notable anti-vaccine medical man of the last century, and allopathic critic. Very obvious suppression of that as we can see every day here for vaccine critics-- eg Midgleys other attempts over the last day or so: Beddow Bayly, Viera Scheibner, Charles Creighton. Lily Loat (deleted), and attempted deletions by other allopaths like CDN 99--Charles Pearce, Neil Miller, Martin Walker for vaccine critics etc. This is what they want to suppress [7]. Quackwatch is a well known pharma shill. Midgley is an allopath/vaccinator, bit obvious I would have thought. The wonder is how they can get away with it under everyones noses. Not to mention the deletion of links and text by them [8]. john 20:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

It is not right that you attack the credibility of Mr. Smith. We have removed the article and will be working on a version that includes whatever the reliable resources require as by way of info or formatting. Mr. Smith did not put this article up but it was put up by employees. There are numerous articles written in Newspapers including USA Today as well as his appearing on CNN, MSNBC and Dateline NBC and as well as a number of books that outline his family and his life available at bookstores as well as Walmart. Also his appointment as Chairman of the Business Advisory Counsel and as Republican of the Year for Virginia in 2001 (awarded in march of 2002) was announced by the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committe) in a Press Release in March of 2002. We will prep the required reliable source list as soon as that is prepared and then put it back up again. Wikistatman 12:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - As the author of this article, and as a Princetonite, Bent Spoon supporter and friend of the owners, I assert that the Bent Spoon is significant both locally and nationally. Many may be familiar with the slow food movement, where food is treated as a culturally significant and socially encompassing process, not simply an act of consumption. Whereas many ice cream shops claim to make their own ice cream, it simply means that they buy a premade base (eggs, cream, sugar, etc.), add their own flavors and then sell it as 'homemade'. In contrast, the Bent Spoon buys local products and starts absolutely from scratch, which is incredibly rare (ask your local ice cream shop if they crack their own eggs). This is significant because modern agricultural and consumption practices are potentially not sustainable, and any business that embodies at the heart of its mission a commitment to the sustainable development of its community is certainly notable. Also notice that I added a link to a New Jersey Monthly article profiling the Bent Spoon from January 2006, which potentially lends credibility to its status as 'notable'. Perhaps the entry does need to be edited to sound less like an advertisement. Any suggestions? Dzaback 02:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Gnostic Pagan Tradition

Appears to be original research/advertising/vanity/linkspamming for the poorly designed and completely unreferenced website http://www.gnostics.com, which has an Alexa ranking of 1,379,820. Pretty much all other references to the "Gnostic Pagan Tradition" on the web appear to be links to this page. Article created by Jason Farrow, whose only other Contributions to Wikipedia are links to gnostics.com added to various unrelated articles (like Wicca). It should be noted that Jason Farrow is also the webmaster of gnostics.com ([13] - see page footer). The "pagan school" this website advertises is a $120 online course.

  • Strong Keep - I hate to go so much against public opinion, however, I tend to do a lot of studying of religious/occult subjects, and pagan gnosticism actually goes far beyond just this one site. There has been a lot of study in this area with quite a few books published that touch on the subject. I'm very familiar with a lot of the concepts that are on this site and I can personally attest that this site is NOT merely original research. Although searches on the phrase "The Gnostic Pagan Tradition" may all point to this website, you will find that you will get hits on phrases such as "Pagan Gnosticism" and "Gnostic Paganism" that do not just point to this site. I believe that this topic should be retained and just re-worked to be less of an out-right advertisement. Nortonew 01:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be better to do an article on Pagan Gnosticism or Gnostic Paganism? "The Gnostic Pagan Tradition" certainly seems to refer to this particular group and would imply that there is only one such tradition. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 04:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
That's true, it might be better to delete this article and start over with a new article that uses a more generic name for the subject.Nortonew 15:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

    • Looking more at this, I think it should definately be moved to Argyll Centre[14]. Then the article can discuss this program (LearnNet), and other closely related ones for students that don't physical attend regular schools (e.g. old fashioned offline support for home schooling). I now think a merge isn't so good, and the program is made available to students outside the Edmonton Public Schools district boundries; as this is particular appeal to students in rural areas. It will be appropriate to link to the article from relevant places (maybe Alberta), but not appropriate to link to Edmonton Public Schools (which would be needed if we merge there). --Rob 07:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. While distance education in itself is undoubtedly worth mentioning in Wikipedia, I can't see the use for an entry on each and every implementation of it. We already have information at distance education; however, however, what's notable about this instance in particular? For example, we have a Wikipedia article about a web page, but we certaintly don't have an article about each webpage out there - only the notable ones. Admittedly, my example was quite a bit more extensive, but it still demonstrates the same concept of non-notability when it comes to articles about individual implementations of a more overlying subject. As far as I can tell from the article so far, LearnNet is non-notable. -Rebelguys2 09:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Individual guitar pickups are probably not noteworthy unless they're otherwise famous (e.g. Gibson's P-90).

[edit] Farrell Till

Farrell Till simply isn't notable. He was an editor of a publication with a very small audience. He has written a few articles and debated a few people. These things certainly don't make him notable enough for an entry on Wikipedia. --Jason Gastrich 03:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Dlyons493 Talk 04:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I think its important to point out, that in a speedy keep doesn't give somebody a free pass on WP:BIO. Its not a precedent for keeping the article, the way a normal keep would be. A speedy keep just puts things back the way they were yesterday. If we had done a speedy keep (which isn't happening apparently), nothing would stop you or any other editor from doing a good faith nomination. Its hard to tell somebody they shouldn't have done a nomination, but since they did, we'll give them what they want. --Rob 07:51, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep nomination made in bad faith as an act of "retaliation." Mark K. Bilbo 05:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, nomination in bad faith; Till has shown some notable influence in the skeptic community, in large part because of his previous association with evangelical Christianity. And here's something that's amusing: One of the "few people" that Till has debated is Gastrich, after which, Gastrich posted a "gay urges" email forgery. There's obviously a personal history between the two, and I've suggested before that it would be a good idea for someone like Gastrich, who is completely incapable of acting from a neutral POV, to recuse himself from these kinds of things. - WarriorScribe 06:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Dave Horn (WarriorScribe)[15] cannot follow Wikipedia's rules or stay on task without personal attacks. Nonetheless, I'll correct his lie by omission. Several years ago, Farrell Till was suspended for 1 week from posting on my internet forum for being abusive. During the suspension, he broke the rules by registering with a fake name and it was banned. Next, he registered a different, fake name, and it was also banned. Incidentally, both aliases spoke very highly of him. Consequently, I played a bad joke on him by posting that letter, but I did apologize, afterwards. Dave Horn's selective memory and unforgiveness just goes to show why many people don't feel the need to apologize for things and act in a Christian manner on the internet. Detestable people like Dave Horn will hold it against them until the day they die. Fortunately, since I've repented and sought God's forgiveness, I've been forgiven by Christ and that's what really matters.--Jason Gastrich 20:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Ahhh, just do whatever you like to your fellow man and then ask for forgiveness - "Christianity Nouveau". Obviously this is a personal vendetta, so KEEP. --Censorwolf 21:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Once again, Gastrich sneaks in his stolen-name-domain group, which contains significant lies that have been rebutted and refuted. Of course, those things aren't allowed on Gastrich's group, so it had to be done elsewhere. Here are some specific rebuttals, all of which have sent Gastrich fleeing, and most of which expose his intent and, to put it politely, "imagination:"
  • Having established himself in many venues as disingenuous, at least, there's really not much point in going into whatever details might have occurred before Gastrich's "joke." The fact is that there was noting to omit because it was not relevant to the point. Whateveer might have happened before Gastrich's fraudulent email is entirely irrelevant to the fact that he did issue the fraudulent email. His apology only occurred after he was outed as the forger, and he had no choice. There was no "selective memory" on my part. Whatever excuse that Gastrich might have had for the behavior are entirely irrelevant. It was a juvenile, mean-spirited, hateful thing to do, but it's par for the course for Jason Gastrich, and it helps to establish and affirm a pattern. Gastrich attempts to justify bad behavior by two criteria. First, he will shift the burden of responsibility by blaming another person for "making" him do what he did. Then he'll excuse the whole thing by claiming that God forgives him for it.
  • Gastrich believes in "once-saved, always-saved," which means that he can pretty much do anything he wants, regardless of what anyone else thinks of it, and he's "forgiven," so it's all good. What Gastrich almost always forgets is that he's also supposed to be a witness for the Gospel and for Jesus Christ, and so his character and actions must be above reproach. An occasional lapse can be forgiven by others, but when one demonstrates a pattern of false identities, forged emails (we know about one, which means that there may be more), and sock puppets, as well as hostile behavior and sensitivity to criticism, then there is good cause to view anything and everything that he does with suspicion. - WarriorScribe 20:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
More spamming of your hate group and more avoiding responsibility for your heinous behavior. I can't say I'm surprised. --Jason Gastrich 21:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that anyone is too concerned about what surprises (or does not surprise) Gastrich. His is the response of a hypocrite and doesn't concern me. He's rebutted, refuted, and exposed as a liar in the specific articles I cite above. 'Tis enough...t'will serve. The only hate that is occurring here is that of Gastrich for those that expose him to the light of day. - WarriorScribe 22:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

It could be a one line stub about an atheist talking parrot, and I will vote to keep it rather than allow my name to be part of a series of what are clearly retaliatory AfD actions. Think about the backlash you are generating and the way it is making our Lord appear to those who do not know Him.Ruby 04:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Considering other AfD's you do I think you are engaging in bad faith and that is undermining the credibility of all AfD's you do. I think this one is valid so voted delete, but I understand the reaction to anything you AfD as I think you are overreacting to something. That "something" is not clear to me, but the alternative is that you aren't too bright and equate leaders of large nations with minor atheist nobodies.--T. Anthony 06:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep and agree -- nomination for deletion was made in bad faith. Gastrich is clearly retaliating for AfDs on "Christian" articles, which is well within his character. The funny thing is that most of those "Christian" articles were nominated by a professing Christian (and another professing Christian is taking him to task for it on his "talk" page...hurry to read it before he deletes it).

Still let's not get too perjorative as there likely are things in the Evangelical world that should be covered, but aren't.--T. Anthony 01:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Blantant bad faith nomination attacking those Gastrich does not agree with. Gastrich knows exactly who he is and that's why this was nominated.

[edit] Mark K. Bilbo

Mark Bilbo simply isn't notable. There are a total of 4 sentences about him in this entry. Amazon.com shows his books to be very infrequently purchased. Furthermore, Bilbo's only notability comes from the way he swears and curses at Christians on Usenet, while mocking God and Jesus (see Talk:Mark K. Bilbo#Controversy for more) --Jason Gastrich 03:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong delete. Per nom. --Jason Gastrich 03:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

*Delete I know this guy on alt.atheism, it would just break my heart to see his Wiki bio go bye bye. Ruby 03:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC) As much as it pains me, I am changing my vote to Keep because it was nominated in bad faith as retaliation for a series of AfDs against Christian leader bios yesterday. Ruby 04:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep There are obvious WP:POINT issues here but let's try to deal with each article on its own merits. In this case, he has books with well-known publishers. Dlyons493 Talk 04:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your suggestion, Dlyons493, but a person making a series of bad-faith nominations may be counting on the good nature of Wikipedians participating in AfD to carry what would otherwise be weak keepers over the top and delete them. It is more important when that happens to stop the process and deal with the disruption rather than carry on business as usual. Ruby 04:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
That wasn't meant in any personal way - my vote just happened to follow yours and was responding to the general situation rather than what you said. Your point is a valid one. Dlyons493 Talk 04:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Que does those big fat overpriced computer books. Ruby 05:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Regardless, it's certainly not a vanity press, and seeing that from Gastrich is especially entertaining. - WarriorScribe 16:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per Crunch, AdelaMae. -- Dragonfiend 05:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep, bad faith nomination almost certainly driven by personal animosity for the subject (evidenced by the comments about the "only notability"). Bilbo has a significant publication record from one of the oldest technical publishing houses in the country. Additional notability was explained by me in the debate over Gastrich's previous attempts to vandalize this article - WarriorScribe 05:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Yet another bad faith nomination/WP:POINT violation from Gastrich. Guettarda 06:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep On the talk page he says "Okay, this is too weird: Are you folks sure I'm notable enough to have an article?" and his books are lower than Kenneth Eng at Amazon. There's also too much of a systemic bias in favor of every minor computer writer. Still there are enough books listed that he isn't some fly-by-night character it seems.--T. Anthony 07:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
On consideration I realized I can't justify this considering I've voted to delete authors this minor. Taking out of consideration the fact he might show up and be offended his books seem to be pretty minor and he apparently isn't the leader or inventor of anything much except some website. So switch to delete.--T. Anthony 07:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep. Notable publisher, very bad faith nomination. Grandmasterka 10:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I count less than 1k google hits. Am I searching correctly? Perhaps I ought to include the middle name (which I do not know?) I must presume that anyone with this few google hits is not very notable. As for being a published author, WP:BIO makes clear that he needs to have two books with an audience of 5,000 or more. Can anyone cite verifiable (read: non self-reported) figures for book sales on this person? If so, and if these figures meet WP:BIO, I will change my vote to keep. Based on the information currently available, however, I must vote to delete. --Pierremenard 11:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. good handful of books, plus alt.atheism. Bad faith nom. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 11:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Seriously folks. Regardless of the publisher, the guy wrote a book on 'how to use Macwrite.' Chew on that for a minute. Macwrite (while brilliant for it's time) had around the same feature set that notepad for windows currently has. Noteable publisher maybe, but not so notable work. In addition while it seems possible that the original delete request was in bad faith, some of the keep votes seem to be in just as bad faith but on the opposite side of the fence. Delete it. MueX 12:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael S. Berliner

Berliner simply isn't notable. Unless there is far more information about him, being on the board of an organization and someone who compiles information, like he does, isn't worthy of an entry. --Jason Gastrich 03:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

*Strong delete. Per nom. --Jason Gastrich 03:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

    • as nominator, your 'delete' vote is assumed.

  • Keep. Completely notable. The article needs expansion and references, but that's no reason to delete it.

  • Keep. Nominator severely underrepresents the work and skill involved in editing a philosophical reference work, and omits the fact that Binswanger has also published his own work.

  • Speedy Keep bad faith nomination. Mark K. Bilbo 06:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment expanding a bit: it does strike me as rather ethno-centric to claim this person isn't "notable" based on the information generally available in the English Google, Amazon, and such. I, honestly, don't know how to proceed in gathering more info given it would likely be in Hindi or another of the many languages of India (18 official if I recall correctly). But I'll hazard that anybody who went against the majority culture in his time frame is notable. For example, going against the caste system early as he did was quite a stance. That system is still a major issue in India and it's interesting to note that there is a reactionary Hindu nationalist party that was only just recently voted out of power. I can't help but feeling that to ignore him is to say that prominence and/or significance in a non-Western country is inherently "not notable." Mark K. Bilbo 18:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm switching to just keep. Google isn't a good judge on writers from the developping world and I didn't notice the year he died.--T. Anthony 07:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This article has had many edits over more than 6 months. Why is it nominated now? We know it is just because he was an atheist. --Bduke 11:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - anyone reading my AfD votes knows I am a HUGE fan of google searches, but in this case this is the wrong way to go. This nomination is remarkably US-centric. Amazon.com is not big on books published by Indian presses decades ago. Nor is an English-google search going to tell you that much about Indian authors. WP:BIO says that for deceased people we must ask: Has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field? I note that atheists tend to cite this person as influential - see this history (where he goes by the name of Gora) which cites him as one of the most influential atheists in history or this one (in Russian) which labels him "India's most prominent atheist." In short, its clear that this person deserves a place in the history of atheism. --Pierremenard 12:51, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

From 1949 on, he wrote a column on atheism, and began publishing The Atheist, a monthly, in 1969. Gora's atheism dictated his campaign to abolish the caste system with its "untouchables," and the idea of "karma" or divine fate. Gora died in 1975.

Anthony's comment below. --Pierremenard 23:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
She gets about 50,000 hits.[22] And that's in quotes plus subtracting Liberia.(The president of Liberia being named Ellen Johnson Sirle(i)(a)f) She isn't as public as the previous head, but she's been in national news I believe. There was some march they did[23] and the Political Action Committee--T. Anthony 14:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
50,000 Google hits is nothing in the context of a worldwide movement like atheism. I just might accept this as indicative of notability in relatively small contexts/movements/etc.
Well, you know, if you take too "broad" a view of things, what's the point of the Wiki itself? Humans are just a minor species on a trivial planet in a galaxy of billions. In terms of the US American atheist "movement" (so far as the term applies) Johnson is the president of one of the more (if not most) known organizations American Atheists, Inc. Which derives most of its notability from being the organization founded by O'Hair in the wake of the (in)famous prayer in schools suit. Johnson is the first president of the organization after the disappearance and death of O'Hair. She's also the president that got the organization through the period of confusion when O'Hair disappeared. She also appears on national talk shows, is quoted by national publications, and AA, Inc. has lobbiest in D.C. She may not warrant a big bio at this point but I can't see deleting her entirely. Mark K. Bilbo 17:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Relax! I find it very easy to see why this article should stay, or that it should never have been AfD'd in the first place. Especially not to make a point. But sometimes wikipedians need to convince not by stating what they know to to be true, but by showing why it is true. Cite external sources, etc. - and then 50,000 Google hits (or 30,000, or 25,000) are not going to cut it. Or shouldn't be. AvB ÷ talk 20:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Relax? Oh no, I'm not upset or worked up or anything like that. Just commenting on the issue of notability. I'm actually agreeing with you in a sense (the comment of "notability in a smaller context" that is). She's notable in a local context (US American atheists and organizations) even if that's a "drop in a bucket" from a broader, worldwide point of view. I'm not married to AA, Inc. I'm not even a member. Mark K. Bilbo 20:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
And now that I think about it, I could see a merge with an article on AA, Inc. Maybe it's too soon for her to have a separate article? I'm not sure really. Mark K. Bilbo 20:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it's difficult to say. It may even be the other way around - notable now, no longer notable when she steps down. Time will tell. I'm in favor of a separate article now because I have the feeling (due to what is basically my own definition of notability) that many users will start a WP search with Ellen's name as the entry point. It would be nice to have some sort of feedback system regarding actual use. AvB ÷ talk 21:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
PS Like I wrote elsewhere, mm: Actually, anyone with some knowledge of atheism and eyes in his head (or fingers on his hand) can see that Ellen Johnson is notable, both positively and negatively, to millions of people. OK, where notability is disputed, references can clinch it, but really, in this case it's like trying to prove apples taste good (218 Google hits). AvB ÷ talk 16:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep, one can tell by the nominator's sarcastic language ("is a professor and wrote a book") that this is another in a series of retaliatory AfDs. Reisman is a widely-regarded economist and economic theorist held in wide regard in that community, as evidenced in this article, in which the author puts Reisman on a par with economists Adam Smith, Karl Menger, et al. - WarriorScribe 04:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. His CV justifies his notability. Crunch 04:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

    I agree. Only some people believe he was the son of God and he has no sales on Amazon, last I checked. Crunch 05:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
At this point Jesus would probably be ashamed to have a bio on Wikipedia, the way his purported followers are making vindictive nominations on AfD these days. Ruby 05:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
People of many groups have done these vindictive AfD's. In a few weeks will likely have someone of a very different group acting out after some article they cherish is erased.

Gastrich appears to be systematically nominating bios of evolutiionary biologists, atheists and LBTG subjects in relatiation for AFD nominations of several of "his" bios. These are by their very nature bad faith and POINT violations. Guettarda 05:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Understood, but now Jason is nominating people who really are not notable, and we can accord him the dignity owed to any other person who devotes their time to Wikipedia. Ruby 06:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually my main reason for voting keep here is that I trust that the original author of this article is unlikely to write an article about a non-notable person.

The San Francisco Chronicle seesm to turn to him for such quotes every few months. See "TWO CENTS; How do you keep fit at home?" (December 31, 2005), "TWO CENTS; The luckiest person you know?"

Okay then it is the same guy. So he's a human interest figure in San Francisco then. Human interest figures in LA have been deleted and that's a bigger town. Most of the other stuff cited on him is just that he's in a list of protesters. As his name his famous they might have just noted he was in the group due to that. At best he's of local northern California interest. If he gets elected to something in San Francisco maybe he'll merit an article.--T. Anthony 00:35, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Added to that there is so little here you can copy it and add it to the article on his father. I considered adding to the Telly Savalas article the information that his son Nick voiced "Stavros" in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Fire from Olympus", but I'm not sure Nick Savalas warrants an article of his own.--T.

  • Keep. Seems to be stepping out of his father's shadow and gaining notability as a peace activist. For example, four California newspapers (The Alameda Times-Star, The Daily Review, The Oakland Tribune, and Tri-Valley Herald) carried a story that "More than 1,200 people protesting President George W. Bush's nuclear weapons policy held a rally and peaceful demonstration at William Paine Park and the Lawrence Livermore Lab Sunday afternoon. The rally -- emceed by Miguel Molina of KPFA radio of Berkeley -- featured dozens of guest speakers, including David Seaborg, Marylia Kelley of Tri-Valley Cares and William Underbaggage, a Native American peace activist." -- Dragonfiend 18:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. All votes referencing the nominator rather than the merits of the article should be discounted. Logophile 14:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Agreed. The alternative is to close this AfD and renominate it so we can vote on the merits of the wiki article, not the nominator. Some of us don't care for the ongoing schisms vis-à-vis the nominator. A bad article cannot be kept merely because the nominator has (or is perceived to have) a problem. --Ezeu 14:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Okay, this is actually a delete. The nomination may or may not have been bad faith, and I don't actually care, but there's no evidence of WP:BIO being hit here. Stifle 16:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. If I (the article's author, from some time back) were to try and defend this as notable (and I am not necessarily doing that), I would say something like: "A child of a notable person is obviously not, for that reason, notable. However, it could plausibly be argued that if the otherwise possibly unnotable child has done something relating to the notability of the parent which is in some way quite interesting, it could make it notable. In this instance, it is somewhat interesting that the son of the discoverer of plutonium, and head of the AEC, became an anti-nuclear activist." But that would probably be a stretch. Anyway, it is just a little stub, Wikipedia will be no better or worse off no matter what happens to it, in my opinion; I have really no investment either way, and I am not writing this in any sort of remorseful tone. In all reality I'm not sure why I wrote the article in the first place -- I must have been making some edit's to his father's article and thought, "Oh, I'll throw the son in too." Not much of a reason, in retrospect! --Fastfission 02:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Votes from new users are generally discounted, especially if they're invited from outside as you were. Please see WP:SOCK under 'meatpuppetry'. --Malthusian (talk) 09:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I rather doubt that he was active in AfD when he first started. For someone to be active this soon in AfD they are either a regular using a pseudonym or a friend who has be recruited for the specific purpose of voting. I can vouch you are not a pseudonym of Jason Gastrich, so were you asked to come? Or did you just happen to stumble on the AfD page in your first few edits? David D. (Talk) 09:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I never made any secret that I was asked, because I really cannot see what the problem is with that. Any other site would be happy to make new recruits. If you compare and contrast this to something like Reggie Finley's site, I have to say that there I was never treated as less than equal because I was new. The fact that that has happened here I find disgusting. I don't treat people like that who turn up on my groups and sites. And another thing, David, as you, being a co-moderator of that group are very well aware, the Google2 Beta group called maleboge.org also has been recruiting people into Wikipedia to beef up your side. So if you think that this "meatpuppetry" - a phrase I never heard anywhere but on this particular site - is so wrong in your view (remember, it isn't in my opinion) then aren't you the more to be blamed for being implicated in it than I am? You are in my experience one of the more fair-minded people on your side, so I hope you'll take due account of that point. Uncle Davey 10:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Why do you insist on polarising this as sides. I don't know what you mean about recruiting. Possibly there was commentary but since all involved had been active in wikipedia for a while (except WarriorScribe) i don't see whom was recruited to where. You'll have to be more specific. In some cases i was recruited to articles by Jason Gastrich himself. You can see that on my talk page. Ironic isn't it. More often than not newbies are helped a lot by the community. Your appearance in less than neutral territory, with a metaphorical gun, no less, meant you lost your honeymoon period. I am certain that if you leave Gastrichs shadow you will get the welcome you deserve. David D. (Talk) 10:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Uncle Davey:I have to say that there I was never treated as less than equal because I was new. The fact that that has happened here I find disgusting. I'm sorry to hear that you are disgusted. However, wikipedia has policies, and one of these is that votes of new users are usually discounted in controversial or close votes for deletion. Hopefully, you can understand why the policy is here: if it wasn't: (a) votes for deletion would be vulnerable to sockpuppets (b) votes for deletion would turn into campaigning contests, testing which side can garner more personal friends to go and vote. Anyway, I'm afraid the policy is not up for vote or for a debate here. If you are interested in debating the policy, please go to Wikipedia_talk:Guide_to_deletion --Pierremenard 14:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment:Please note that this user (User:Usenetpostsdotcom) is a suspected sockpuppet of Jason Gastrich, the same user who started this AFD. Mr. Gastrich was the one who created "Uncle Davey"'s User Page, and that page consists of the same text as that of another of Mr. Gastrich's suspected sockpuppets (User:Wiggins2). -Colin Kimbrell 14:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Mr Kimbrell, this is demonstrably not the case. Please withdraw your comment. If you actually go to the website whose name is not so subtly encoded in my nym, you will see that I don't look at all like him, and you will also find ways to e-mail me. If you or any nominee of yours wishes to e-mail me with their telephone number, then I will ring them up and you can decide for yourselves whether I can even talk like a Californian, or whether I am the limey living in Poland that I claim to be. If you are so poor at checking your assertions as you have been in my case, then may I ask what business you have editing an encyclopedia? Uncle Davey 18:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

    • "Too soon"? That might make sense if the first AfD nomination was for a valid reason. There's no minimum time span required for renomination for deletion. Although I don't approve of Gastrich or his actions, this nomination is based on Google hits and notability, and as such, the article should be considered on its merits without regards to who nominated it or the previous AfD. howcheng {chat} 22:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

That's making sure to minus anything with the word "wikipedia" in it. I think if this is deleted there should be consideration of deleting the things that link here or articles on games she created.

  • Keep As stated above, this is not a vanity piece because I'm not her. I started this short bio because she's a notable person for several reasons: She was one of the two people who founded Dragon's Eye Productions and Furcadia, a unique online game which has an estimated 60,000 players (and continuing to grow after 9 years). She is a prolific writer and artist, contributing to many games (some that I didn't mention because of respect for her privacy). She also writes extensively on the subjects of conservation and Atheism (which is why I put Atheist in the categories), and esoteric subjects like Bog iron (notice in the external links on that page, there's a link to something she wrote on bog iron. That link was there long before I started editing Wikipedia). Besides, almost 8,000 hits (these are all her, I checked a random sampling of them) is nothing to sniff at. Other people involved in video games like Jukka Tapanimäki and Chuck Bueche have much fewer google results, and yet they have undisputed articles on Wikipedia. For the above reasons, Talzhemir is definately notable and worthy of a short Wikipedia article, and I wish I could've made my case before so many people voted (I was away from computers for a few days). Oh well... -kotra 08:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Redirect to Calvin and Hobbes. I am redirecting there because the content from this article was merged into Calvin and Hobbes. It needs to be redirected there to preserve GFDL (well, that's what I think, anyway). --Deathphoenix 01:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicator

It was agreed to merge the information on this page with the Cardboard Boxes section of the Calvin and Hobbes page. The information on the page is now redundant and since the strip is no longer active, there is no potential for expansion. Delete. —simpatico hi 05:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Redirect and suggest nom take a look at Wikipedia:Redirect. Nifboy 05:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't agree that redirecting the word "duplicator" to a Calvin and Hobbes page would be a very good idea. Whoever's searching for it may not be looking for something Calvin and Hobbes related, and if they aren't familiar with the strip, it'd be very confusing for them to be sent to the C&H page after searching for, say, a machine that duplicates things (or whatever, I don't know). This is especially so since the information on Calvin's Duplicator is quite far down the C&H page. However, more experienced Wikipedians may disagree. —simpatico hi 06:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Replicator (Star Trek). Ruby 05:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • But the Duplicator is a Calvin and Hobbes creation and has nothing to do with Star Trek - that doesn't make sense. —simpatico hi 06:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm saying the Calvin and Hobbes duplicator is so not-notable it's better to use the article as a redirect in case someone is looking for the star trek replicator but types duplicator by mistake. Ruby 06:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I've never heard of the Star Trek replicator, but nevertheless feel the Duplicator would kick its ass. :) Obviously, people's awareness of these fictional objects varies, but since "Duplicator" and "Replicator" are not the same word and do not refer to the same, or even related, things, it doesn't make sense for the former to redirect to the latter. If any redirect is done, it should be to the C&H page. —simpatico hi 08:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese current events

The last time anyone actually added something to this page was on September 30, 2005. Almost two months have passed. The fact of the matter is, no one uses this page, either by viewing it since you'd have to click on various links to ever arrive here, or editing it. Any current events in China should simply be added to the world current events page. KI 05:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

As we know, Wikipedia is not a memorial. While his death is sad, this guy isn't notable enough for a bio entry. Harro5 05:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

If the article survives the AfD, I'll put it on my list to cleanup. Here's his NY Times obit, which, while still an obit, does establish him a bit more (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/19/arts/design/19gary.html). Crunch 05:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ships of Homeworld

proposed delete: Total and utter gamecruft. I love Homeworld, but no one coming here would ever want (or need) to see this level of detail on the game's spacecraft. True, the previous host of this information, the Homeworld Shipyards, has temporarily closed, but (to quote Peter Parker and with full knowledge of what it cost him), "I missed the part where that's my problem." Marblespire 07:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[EDIT] Forgot to mention that would want to delete all attached articles as well (which obviously is a huge lot). Not opposed to recreating (or merging existing articles into) a much smaller sort list, but the articles that exist now are basically copied straight out of the games' manuals, which is excessive to say the least. ~Mbsp
I say save. I personally have plans to go through and fill out a lot of the information here, taking screenshots and looking up information, writing articles for the various ships and such. I can't speak for what other people do on Wikipedia, but I come here to read about things that interest me with a level of depth and detail I can't get other places--plus guaranteed-to-work links to relevant articles, right in the article text. When reading about a movie, I like to have links to all the actors. When reading about a game, I like to have links to the weapons, items, etc. If you propose the removal of this information, then you have to do the same thing for lots of other articles--Star Fox being one I read recently. What, are you going to go through and eliminate information and screenshots about the ships and such just because nobody's ever going to use it? If this information was here already, I would've already read through it all. That alone is an indicator that it's interesting and relevant to someone. I have no idea what the Peter Parker quotes have to do with this. Twile 09:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per Kappa. Latinus 18:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the information, but the article? Merge into Naha, Okinawa. The Naha article is not so long that streets need their own articles, nor is this one so especially important. Probably Heiwa and Kokusai are famous enough for mention in the Naha article; there might be a small number of others. The information on Heiwa-dori will be easier to find if it's in the city article. Naha used to have a red link to this (under a different spelling, I guess), but I removed the link. (If we keep this article, then of course the link should go back in.) I don't see how WP:CORP applies, since this is a street, not a shopping mall. Certainly, there are streets with articles, e.g. Fleet Street, but Heiwa is not in that category! Fg2 07:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Possible vanity. Very little mention of notability. So he interviewed a few famous people? Almost every link from other articles consists of "Interview at Brian M. Palmer", in the external links, which makes it smell even more like vanity. Drat (Talk) 11:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable vanity spam for a bootleg album which hasn't been released yet, and which nets zero Google hits. chocolateboy 13:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of SWIFT codes

Previously kept here, but since then some addtional information has been garnered, to wit: the full list of SWIFT codes is between 17,000 and 20,000 entries; the active list (those available for electronic transfers) is over 7,500 and the balance are still valid, they just require a manual completion of the process by the parties involved; assuming these codes listed are all on the "active" list, this is about 4.5% of the total codes. The comment "this list is incomplete, you can help by expanding it" looks, in that context, like a rather lame joke. The December and January updates are both pdfs of over 20 pages, indicating that the list is highly dynamic. Under the circumstances I really cannot see any value in mainatianing a partial mirror of an arbitrary subset of codes when a free web-based authoritative lookup tool is available. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

This article has a really screwed up history. I say either Cleanup or Delete to wipe history and recreate majorly.

  • Delete this version with no prejudice against recreating a legitimate article on the subject. As it stands, it's transparently obvious that the creator meant this to be an attack page, from the image. Daniel Case 20:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Use Template:Wi. -- Astrokey44|talk 20:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- could be useful article -- ugly (or ugliness) is a well known concept that seems distinct enough from beauty to require its own article. As for the assertion that this is an attack page, it may be as it stands but if you look at the history you'll see that this was once a legitimite article. Also, perhaps would be a good idea to add some of the old text / gargoyle image from the old (pre-redirect) ugliness article (see history) to beef this up a little bit and hopefully get the ball rolling on some worthwhile edits.

This is an alternative food that helps on the functioning of the intestine. Is an invention, an inovation and an insdustrial possibility not available in Europe, USA, Africa, Asia or Latin America - just in 2 States of Brazil - but must of all is a alternative for many peolpe that can not take medicine and that could have the oportunity of knowing this solution. It is not a medicine, it should be eaten like a "compote" or a sauce. The use of fruits is a knowledge of public dominium, the inovation is that was found a mixture that has this value. The other alternatives, the medicines, natural or not, might bring many problems for the ones who takes them. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Sandrahans (talk • contribs) 12:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete This is a wikified advertising leaflet about a dietary supplement. Phytofruit is a company, founded by Sandra Hanszmann, whose name bears striking similarity to the sole editor of this article, that might warrant an article if it is notable as in WP:CORP (which I think it is not). Tinus 20:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

It must be understood of the point of view of science. There are many articles written about it in Brazil. The only one written out of Brazil was written in Austria where it was classified as an invention. The article that we are discussing about in Wikipedia can help many people, but as any invention is associated to an inventor and to a company. It has to be decided if the article related to an invention, that can bring health, not using medicine, using fruits, is important enough or not. Tinus doesn't need to think that the name of the inventor is a secret, because it is not. It is just not the foccus of the subject. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Sandrahans (talk • contribs) 19:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catahya

Delete this page because: the artickle won't be kept up to date and is about a Swedish NGO, for which the Swedish article will suffice. Also it won't be written in a manner that correctly explains Catahya, when written in English. Wille Raab 17:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment on above: "The foreign-language article is enough" is exactly the wrong reason to delete this. The whole point of having Wikipedias in every language imaginable, even constructed and fictional ones, is to make information and knowledge available to everyone. I don't mean to sound like an overbearing American or anything, but frankly how many people speak Swedish compared to English? If the subject of the article is notable (and I am not totally convinced that it is for the English-speaking community). How can you be sure it won't be kept up to date? And how can you be so sure it can't be written well in English, especially given that the English version is longer than the Swedish version? Daniel Case 17:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

::Addendum to above: My position should be taken as Abstain because while the nominator gave reasons that, as I explained, are not good reasons for deletion, it does not necessarily follow that it should be kept as a demonstration of notability has not been made. Daniel Case 20:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Replies on above comment: maybe you are right in that it should not be deleted. However, the point in deleting it is that it isn't a good and valid English explanation on the subject; and the reasons that I'm sure it won't be kept up to date is is 1) that it isn't now, even 2) that certain members of the NGO's board have told me they are having trouble with the article not being correct nor updated as it should, when it should. However, the main reason would be that it simply isn't of that much interest for and English-speaking community, as You say. That was my intention, even though I didn't realize how it would be lacking on this discussion page (haven't suggested deletions before... :) ). Don't know if that 'straightens out some questionmarks', it's how I see it at least. :) Wille Raab 20:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
If multiple members of the NGO's board found inaccuracies, they could have fixed them :) —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-24 06:25Z
OK, that clarification tips it for me. Weak delete. Daniel Case 22:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Further comment: Auto-translated version of sole comment on Swedish article's Talk page ("Had that community encyclopaedia interest?

[edit] Alex Cornell du Houx

This was originally AFD'd mid december, but the tag was removed. There is no information about reasons for tagging apart from info below. While this young person is cleary a good role model, the hindsight of the 8 weeks since the story appeared gives a clearer view on him. The claim that the story received national attention is clear hyperbole, it appeared briefly on NBC, did the blogs for a week and was then forgotten. The man is now one of many who serve his country, and he may have a bright political future ahead of him, and if so deserves a wiki spot, but at the moment, he is simply an student leader who signed up.

    I did some cleaning up to make it more wikipedia and less ad. Particularly the 'Marketing agreements' line is kind of bizarre, how noteworthy is saying 'we placed ads on google'? Still needs editing. Tinus 20:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, if 'the press' is talking about them, that does make them notable. Not sure how that applies to blogs though. I filed a spam complaint to google anyway for the results for link:www.legalmatch.com, if you browse through them almost all the results are on two sites participating in some kind of ad scheme. BTW on google.com I get 862,000 results for linkmatch, but still only 6 result pages, so a lot of them already have been trashed. Perhaps in a short while we can add them to SEO as an example of 'optimizing gone wrong'. Tinus 01:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

It is similiare in name to Forgotten Realms, but has evolved beyond the current tabletop setting. On wikipedia, there are many muds listed extensively like the Disworld mud which is based on discworld. Forgotten Kingdoms is an article just beginign to take shape, please allow a dedicated fanbase the chance to enhance and make it great. - Greylamb18:35, 22 January 2006

Dictionary definition. ThreeAnswers 18:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

*Merge into Multinational force in Iraq which already redirects from Coalition forces. Crunch 19:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. "Coalition forces" actually has a much more general meaning than this. Using it only to apply to this single coalition is faulty. If someone wants to do a complete rewrite and include this in a greatly expanded article, go ahead, but that's far from a straight keep. -R. fiend 20:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. On further consideration, I agree with R. fiend. Coalition forces should probably also be deleted. Crunch 20:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Perhaps this should be turned into a disambig page, pointing to various coalition forces in history (if and only if they used that specific term). Coalition forces would then point here (or you could do it the other way around). Whether the current contents are physically deleted, or overwritten, seems insignificant. --Rob 21:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as it is now. If it were re-written to be a more informative of coalitions, it would be worth keeping, but not as it is now. Liamdaly620 21:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per above. -- JJay 22:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Can you clarify what you wish the article to cover? Multinational force in Iraq already has an article, which is the current scope of the current article (such as it is). Do you want a general article on military coalitions? Or do you want discussion of the various alliances actually called "Coalition Forces" (proper noun), which there were multiple (I think). --Rob 22:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

    • Yes. Band and bio articles can only be speedied if they make no claim of notability. If such a claim is made, we should still use AFD. If it's patently obvious that the band fails WP:MUSIC, I would probably speedy it, but otherwise not. Stifle 00:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • However, in this case there's no claim to notability and the article is a confused mess. Speedy delete as nn-band/nn-bio.

Whether or not the station has an article does not affect my position. If there were an article, however, this show could be worth a brief mention.

[edit] SargeK, Debtism

This SargeK article by SargeK himself seems to be a vanity piece about a non-notable individual Oscarthecat 21:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • It's not about vanity. It is about spreading the word on Social Security Reforms. Since its inception last year, my domain debtism.com has received tens of thousands of visitors, that is PROVABLE. Visit the site and see for yourself. + - + - SargeK
  • Delete This is definetely a pointless webpage someone wrote about themselves. I would advise Wikipedia to delete it right now. Electricbassguy
    • You don't have a clew what is on the website. Since I posted SargeK on Wikipedia, you or no one else would have had time to read the articles (FIFTEEN of THEM) http://www.debtism.com/ SargeK
  • Delete both. John Koraska has written an article titled "Debtism - The Legacy of Perpetual Debt". Searching his name and that article ([47]) gives 493 links on google, mostly on free-hosted websites (many of which contain little but poker site ads) and blogs. Searching his name excluding the article title ([48]) returns 19 links. This is a man on a mission. However, wikipedia is not a soapbox. --Ezeu 22:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment: The above is a sampling of articles on my debtism.com website. Tens of thousands of have read my articles since I started last year. No advertisements, Just an attempt to get to the truth about tax and welfare programs and sharing it with the widest audience possible. Since all I get is “delete” response from wikipedia, I’ll not waste any more of your time NOR mine. I'm neither notable, not do I care to be. I am doing my best to bring attention to significant Social Security, tax and welfare problems that have little effect on me; but may impact my sons and grand-son in a manner they cannot yet conceive. Sorry about posting here. I should have done more research before wasting a lot of time. Thanks anyway SargeK

    • Sorry, SargeK, but Wikipedia is not intended to promote other websites or ideas; it's an encyclopedia, intended to document aspects of the world that need documenting. I hope you'll stick around and contribute to other articles that are more encyclopedic. bikeable (talk) 03:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep -- rewritten completely. If it survives AfD it should be moved to Rada Manufacturing, though, with Rada cutlery as a redirect. BTW, my own personal testimonial: I've seen these things at church fundraisers, and they are elegant and seem to be reasonably high quality for what they are. But I personally use a big German kitchen knife the size of my arm and would probably find a Rada knife to be uncomfortably light and whippy, so so far I've resisted buying them. Haikupoet 04:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Is there anything notable about Rada Manufacturing or their knives? —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-24 06:36Z
      • Well, there aren't that many cutlery makers based in the US, and Rada seems to be very commonly sold for fundraising purposes. I'm told they have a rather high "oh, my grandmother had that knife" factor, for whatever that's worth. As I said, though, they aren't particularly high profile, though there seems to be a good number of google hits (raw number, around 200K for "rada knives"). On the other hand, Google Groups only comes up with a couple of hundred references, with seemingly none past 2004. Make of that what you will. I would say they are within certain circles, but a little research is called for. (And the knife design itself is very notable -- all-metal construction like Global, but very, very different in overall design.) Haikupoet 06:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I have three singles from this album, from different dance collection CD's. This was 90's novelty dance group with moderate sales. "Mr Personality", "Short Short Man" and "Lick It" were released as singles. USA 1995 year-end chart was #76 for "Short Dick Man" and "Short Short Man" hit #6 in Australia, I'm sure the other singles have similar sales but that's a quick look. Ruby 23:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I guess it sounds good to me then -- I nominated the article because it none of this was asserted in the article and it looked like a notability problem. If you can add some factual material to both 20 Fingers and On the attack and more that will satisfy WP:MUSIC, please do so. I'd hate to see articles get deleted because they appeared non-notable simply because they were incomplete. (Incidentally, if you feel that I made an error in judgment in nominating this article or in tagging 20 Fingers, please tell me and explain. I'd like to learn not to make such mistakes.)

Although I don't doubt that this and the 5 other related articles above are genuine-enough traditions in Pontic/Turkish folklore (original creator has used the same reference work for each), having them as individual articles under generic phrases doesn't make much sense. Several of these entries are rather confusingly written, and what's more appear to be direct translations of the cited Turkish reference work. Any encyclopaedic material which can be salvaged from these ought to be merged into the Turkish folklore article (currently only a list of these articles), and the articles deleted. The reason I'm not simply carrying out the merge myself is that I don't really see any value in maintaining the article titles as redirects. cjllw | TALK 22:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge into Turkish folklore, elevating it from a list to an article. Ruby 23:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Ruby. Turkish folklore surely deserves to be more than a list, and until it is a good size article, it would be better to have all these separate lores there. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 00:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Akira class starship

As per administrator AllistairMcMillan's admonishments on the Akira talk page, I hereby nominate the Akira Class Starship for deletion because the article is entirely original research. Neocapitalist 23:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose I never said the page should be deleted. I just said that, after he blanked the page, that blanking is considered vandalism and if Neocapitalist wants to delete the page this is way to do it. See the talk page. This is really a dispute about content with a friend of his. PS I never said the entire article is original research either, just to be clear. AlistairMcMillan 23:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment I'm confused; I thought you said screen evidence was original research. BTW -- where do you get that I am Alyeska's friend? Neocapitalist 20:38, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I have no idea whether you are a friend of his or not. I do know that you are a member of the same forum though. AlistairMcMillan 21:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep'. Per above. Tokakeke 00:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete According to AllistairMcMillan's interpretation of the rules this entire article is Original Research and should be deleted. See article discussion for further details. Alyeska 00:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep - According to the Memory Alpha website this ship appears in ST: First Contact, DS9, and Voyager. This AfD may be in bad faith. Ruby 00:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - it's on another wikistyle site, and apart from conducting original research, going by AM's definition, how do they get their information there? Another wikistyle site does not constitute a reliable source for a fact --Fearghul 00:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Please note that Fearghul is one of Alyeska's friends from the stardestroyer.net forums. AlistairMcMillan 01:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
And that has a bearing on anything? You are aware of the logical fallacy known as an ad hominem aren't you? I'm sure there's a page on it kicking about here somewhere. Fearghul 03:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah yes, but the other wikistyle site is not involved in the pissing contest on this site, so it can be used to verify the existence of the ship alleged to be O.R. The individual specifications are a content issue. All we're concerned with is whether to keep or delete the article. Ruby 01:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • It does raise the question though of why this is a pissing contest at all? I wonder what the reaction would be if the information was cited not as examining the visuals of the show, but instead as coming from a website examining the visuals of the show? Where would the original research axe fall then? Just something to consider. Fearghul 03:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Undecided. To my knowledge the Akira class was never actually mentioned on screen by this name. Consequently, is it even canonical to use this name? Yes, the vessels based upon it have been shown (fleetingly), but has often been noted there are enough similarities with the Enterprise NX-01 that NX-class might be a more appropriate name. I can't put a vote one way or the other yet. 23skidoo 01:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Production staff, including the designer Alex Jaeger, use "Akira class" to describe this type of ship. AlistairMcMillan 01:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Non-Canon by your own reasoning. Not said onscreen thus non-canon. Alyeska 01:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I never said everything is non-canon unless it appeared in dialogue on screen. Please stop mis-representing what I say. AlistairMcMillan 01:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
You stated that only information in the series is canon. Furthermore you do not support visual evidence. The class name is from a source you do not support, TMs. If you accept backstage information, then you have to accept in the very least TMs as well. This just shows your inconsistencies and terrible logic. Alyeska 04:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I never said that I don't support visual evidence. I said I don't support your analysis of visual evidence. Because your analysis is your original research. I don't support the Technical Manuals, because (a) they are considered non-canon, (b) they are not consistent with the series itself and (c) the two manuals aren't even consistent with each other (even though one of the authors worked on both). I've explained this all clearly a number of times now. Please stop misrepresenting my words. AlistairMcMillan 17:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Stop repeating the Original Research argument. It is clear you do not understand what you are talking about. I've read the rule and it does not cover what I am doing at all. I am taking data straight from a canon source. So it can't be original research. BTW, the TNG TM doesn't have any information on the Akira. It only has inconsistencies between the GCS class, and thats explained away in the DS9 TM by changes in the design. And once again you've not actualy stated the rule which the DS9 TM violates. You would write off the entire TM because it contradicts SOME information. Stop cherry picking the rules AM. If the TMs are inadmissable, then all non-canon information is inadmissable. If visual analysis is original research, then dialogue analysis is original research and the entire article violates the rule. Its a very simple concept of reality. Pull your head out of your ass for once and try looking at reality. Alyeska 18:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Please try to keep a civil tone. AlistairMcMillan 18:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Then stop repeating the same disproven arguments over and over again. You can take issue with the numbers I've given, with the way I've presented them. But the very method I am using violates no Wikipedia rules. You constantly claim they do, but refuse to actualy go into detail how it violates the rules. I've actualy quoted the rules themselves showing quite clearly that my methods do not violate any of these rules. Alyeska 18:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Let me say again, this is simply a content dispute with another editor. I oppose his addition of his own original research to this and other articles, so his friend blanked it. I pointed out that blanking pages is considered vandalism and likely to get him banned and the proper way to delete pages is to AFD them. Which brings us to this page. AlistairMcMillan 01:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Another friend of Alyeskas from the stardestroyer.net forums. AlistairMcMillan 17:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
You are such a happy person always trying to jab people who disagree with you. Where he comes from is irrelevent. Look as his history. He is a valid Wiki member and your snarky comments are unwelcome. As I'e said many times now. Your attitude is very unbecoming for an admin. Alyeska 18:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Four people support your point of view. All four are regulars on the same forum as you. I'm sure that is just coincidence. AlistairMcMillan 18:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I hope I'm not being counted in that number, since I'm just opposed to Trekcruft (and starwarscruft, and all forms of fanboycruft for that matter). -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 20:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Nope. I was just meaning the four people who are more interested in mis-interpreting what I said on the Akira Talk page that voting on this bogus deletion. AlistairMcMillan 21:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
If you have something meaningful that you're getting at, say it. Otherwise, don't waste time with irrelevancies. While I do post on SD.net, I'm not a Trekkie and don't particularly care about Trek in general. This article means very little to me, but improper admin actions do interest me a great deal. Simple observation does not constitute original research; as far as sources go, counting the weapons on a ship is no different in that regard than listening to Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech or looking up the text of Washington's first inaugural address; it's there for everyone to see. The original research rule doesn't apply here, and I think you know that, because if it really did, you'd have shown how by now instead of simply repeating yourself. As it stands, your definition of original research covers almost everything on Wikipedia, to say nothing of this article. Or it would if you were even halfway consistent. Rogue 9 18:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
If you don't have a particular interest in Star Trek then you may be unaware that there are no consist figures for weapon counts. Everyone looks at starships like the Akira class or the Nebula class and comes up with different numbers. Alyeska has studied screenshots and come up with his own numbers. That makes it original research. And please remember, people who disagree with Alyeska's analysis are "stupid".[50] The idea with the rules about verifiability and original research is that we can point to our sources to back up our edits. Alyeska can't do that because when he actually lists his sources, people look at them and come up with different numbers.[51] AlistairMcMillan 21:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: I can look at the Enterprise and declare it is black too - not that this will be true, but the point is that opposition does not mean the death of an analysis. As long as Alyeska could justify his decisions for inclusion/exclusion of a suspected TT/phaser point, it is still valid. So put it up, along with any rebuttals, and let other people decide. That's what NPOV is - the explanation of various points of view. Kazuaki Shimazaki 05:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes. But it is not meant to be our own points of view. This is not a discussion board, it is an encyclopedia. The information we add to the encyclopedia is supposed to information that has been published elsewhere. Wikipedia should never be a primary or secondary source. AlistairMcMillan 18:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
You must think people are stupid AM. I've PROVEN that what I have done violates neither verifiability or original research rules. I've asked you to prove your case that they are and explain how it violates the rules and you have thus far refused EVERY SINGLE REQUEST. I have gone out of my way to explain myself and give you a chance to prove your point. You on the other hand repeat the same incorrect claims like a broken record and refuse to actualy defend your position with logical reasoning when challenged. Alyeska 22:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep'. Original research should be edited out of the article, but ships of this class do appear identifiably in one movie (Star Trek: First Contact) and several episodes of Deep Space Nine. Even if the name was never uttered on the screen, it is the best name currently available to identify the ship class, and an article containing what canon information is available (perhaps including anything pertinent from Star Trek: The Magazine and The Star Trek Encyclopedia, noting disputed canon status) is useful. WarpFlyght 16:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Weak delete: I have no big interest in Star Trek, but I do have a interest in Visual Analysis of Sci-Fi, so here I am. Here is the crux of the issue, no? For some reason, people have a wierd and arbitrary Macro/Micro divide when it comes to visual analysis. For "macro" things (generally meaning entire ships or their general shapes), they tend to accept it. But for "small" things (even as big as the relative size of ships, let alone tiny torpedo launchers), they call it Speculation, Original Research...etc - all of which involve the base point of ignoring it. This is even though both involve looking at the screen and taking down what one sees. Why is one guy Original Researching because he looks more closely and sees more details than the other? Is it his fault that you aren't paying enough attention? Aren't the sources for both people the same, so in principle equally verifiable? As for detail disputes, as a Star Wars guy I can tell you sadly that even purported official sources can't find their butts with both hands and a flashlight. There are at least three "official" lengths in circulation about Executor. Does that mean no conclusion can be made? Of course not - all the lengths are simply written in some context on the page. I suggest Involved Parties do the same here - put up some Big Pictures of Akira, and circle all the points that are definitely torp tubes/phasers/whatever in red and the disputed ones in yellow, followed by a explanation of the disputed areas. That would provide the needed verifiability - everyone can check out the same picture and decide for themselves. IMO, either taking down what's shown in the film is Original Research, or it isn't. From the number of movie and anime descriptions I see on Wiki, most would consider this action Valid rather than Original Research. Imposing arbitrary Macro/Micro limits is IMO hypocritical and arbitrary. As for TMs, AFAIK they are not canon, so let's not include them - but the films and TV episodes are, so they can be looked at more closely. In any case, what's left of this page after so called "Original Research" is removed is so little that it might as well be combined into some other page. Kazuaki Shimazaki 05:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment There is no original research in the article. Although under the AMs definition of original research the entire article is OR and thus should be deleted. People are cherry picking here. Alyeska 16:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Not so sure about that any more, since it says on WP:BIO college sportspeople playing "at the highest level" could be included. I have no idea how to rank this person, and would like comments. Kusma (討論) 23:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. He is a well-known celebrity at Harvard and the greater Boston area. He is also involved in the development of a groundbreaking heart monitor, and will escort the Hungarian ambassador's daughter to her coming of age celebration. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 140.247.154.205 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

    • Good for him. I hope she's pretty. Doesn't make him notable though. --kingboyk 19:27, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hundreds of thousands of people play sports at university. Inevitably some of them become captains of the team - someone's got to do it. Where we set the bar for notability of people who play sports against each other is vague, but it isn't here. If kept, there's not one but two sets of POV we have to defend it against - the author's and his roommates'. --Malthusian (talk) 12:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This All-American athlete captained Harvard's varsity fencing team to its first Ivy League Championship in 28 years and has established the school as the new NCAA powerhouse. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.189.189.158 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Southeast Asian Capitals

unremarkable unwikied list. just not needed. delete. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 23:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Seems useful to me for people that need the info. And how can a list of world capitals not be remarkable? -- JJay 00:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • its just a linkfarm. or would be if there was sere any links. and its part of a much better list that already exists. theres no point in having this. in any case southeast asia isnt a precisely defined term so its asking for trouble. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 00:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
      • southeast asia isnt a precisely defined term... what? the term southeast asia has been used ever since World War II. It covers 11 countries with definite boundaries. __earth (Talk) 11:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I repeat- the list provides a lot of very valuable information. I found it extremely informative. Furthermore, Southeast Asia is defined in our extensive article on the topic. -- JJay 10:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete there's already a List of capital cities Ruby 00:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and clean up. Calwatch 05:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Ruby. Andrew Levine 05:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but should be renamed List of Southeast Asian capitals.__earth (Talk) 11:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but rename as "Capital cities in Southeast Asia". This is because it has room for major expansion, such as a history section discussing a range of ancient capital cities which existed during the region's history of kingdoms and states. An economy section can also be added, such as a discussion on transportation (there has been long held dreams of building a road or rail network linking all 11 capital cities. More realistically, there is an aviation agreement mandating open skies between all Southeast Asian capital cities (except Dili?) by December 2008 [54])--Huaiwei 14:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Huaiwei. --Terence Ong 15:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
