The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP.--God of War 19:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 110th Street (Manhattan)

No notability at all. Are we going to list every street in America? I actually found this page because it was put on a forum as an example of how wikipedia expansion will never stop. Enough said. God of War 23:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • In this specific case I'd say Keep - fine wee article on a notable street (notable because of the boundary between Harlem & Upper East Side, plus the movie & song). Room for expansion too (links the movie page and the disambig page for the subway stations, maybe mention Tito Puente Way). Jxan3000 23:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: notable per Jxan3000 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Where (talk • contribs).
  • Keep. While perhaps not every street in Manhattan is notable, several of them clearly are (Wall St, Broadway, 42nd St). 110th St falls into the latter camp. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep of course. Very memorable Manhattan crosstown byway. Let's pray that Wikipedia's expansion never stops. -- JJay 00:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep this particular just-barely-notable street, provided that is not taken as a precedent for including articles on every crosstown street in Manhattan. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable street Thomas 20:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.90.38.191 (talk • contribs).
  • Keep Wikipedia is not just a general encyclopedia but also incorporates many specialist reference books. This is part of Wikipedia's "Encyclopedia of New York City". CalJW 03:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable street in NYC. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 04:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable enough. Calwatch 05:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I see I was mistaken about the notability of streets. Ah well, we will be to a million articles sooner than I thought :)--God of War 05:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. One of the most well-known places in Manhattan. I stayed on 110th Street once and it seemed quite notorious throughout the city. Essexmutant 09:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Since there seem to be clear consensus to keep, I am withdrawing this AFD. I don't want to waste anymore time when the final outcome is obvious.--God of War 05:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tulsa, Tokyo and The Middle of Nowhere

Article info identical to Hanson (band) article. Talked with Xanadu (the only person to edit it within the last 2 months) and he is ok if it is deleted or a redirect is put into place. PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge (the penultimate edit, if necessary) and redirect. -Ikkyu2 07:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • PS2pcGAMER, please don't submit "article redirect" proposals in "articles for deletion". Go ahead and do it, with a right edit summary. It saves time and effort of everyone. --Perfecto 15:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hematoma (band) and For Yours We Wait

Appears to fail WP:MUSIC, although I'm aware there may be cultural bias here. Always open to new information. Note that there are a few other articles hanging off this one. brenneman(t)(c) 00:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete nn band which fails to meet WP:MUSIC. Ruby 00:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Nick Catalano (Talk) 00:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The band has a CD, which has an article of its own: For Yours We Wait, which was tagged for speedy deletion. I added a {{hangon}} tag, and would like to link the to deletion discussions here if possible. Anyone know how to do this? --Hansnesse 00:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Just use {{subst:afd}} as normal, but then once it's saved you go back and edit the link on the notice like this. - brenneman(t)(c) 01:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Fabulous, thanks for the tip. --Hansnesse 01:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are issues of cultural bias, and I would love to read more articles about Portuguese metal, or Brazilian metal (an article I just saw on CSD), but this seems to be non-notable. - squibix 01:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete NN Maustrauser 05:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as apparently failing WP:NMG. The demo album does not count! Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 19:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable enough. Latinus 19:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Per nom. —Wknight94 (talk) 06:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singapore Airlines flight numbers

It doesn't seem that there needs to be an entire article just for this extremely specific subject. No other airlines have it, and it seems to go against WP:NOT. Dbinder 00:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Dbinder 00:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --M@thwiz2020 00:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator. Also note that pretty much all articles in Category:Singapore Airlines should be checked over. SYCTHOStalk 00:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Ruby 00:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Nick Catalano (Talk) 00:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, as very easy to fall out of date. MartinRe 01:00, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep helper article to main SIA page. --Vsion 01:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • A 48KB helper article? This information should be listed on the company site, and the main article should link there. SYCTHOStalk 01:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Do you have the link? Thks. --Vsion 01:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
        • For some reason, I can't access the company site. I would think the data must be somewhere, but the only reference cited was the homepage. SYCTHOStalk 01:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Eusebeus 04:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep useful information, this looks bias. Can't flight numbers have an article on its own. If you prefer to move the information to the main article, its fine. Why are we trying to give readers less information, when we are building an online encyclopedia? --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 09:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This is not a debate on the usefulness of the information. There is no need for a 48 KB article on one airline's flight numbers. The main article already has an outline of the flight number assignments, which is plenty for an encyclopedia. As I mentioned in the nomination, see WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. Dbinder 14:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Then can you explain why this page stayed on Wikipedia for almost a year? --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
That's only an indicator of how much crud we have to clean up. Ruby 14:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and MartinRe. These numbers must change constantly. Singapore Airlinescruft, if you ask me. --Aaron 09:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A Singapore Airlinescruft too. --*drew 15:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nomination. Sliggy 17:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete difficult to keep up to date. Link to SA's website from main SA article and people can look up their timetable/flight schedules there.--Kalsermar 18:45, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, way too specific, and of too little encyclopedic use. A list of Singapore Airlines destinations and routes is fine but indvidual flight numbers is airlinecruft. JIP | Talk 18:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete can safely be left to the airline to keep this up to date. Anyone wanting to know a Singapore flight number will go there before Wikipedia, for obvious and excellent reasons. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 19:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Latinus 19:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and Kalsermar. —rodii 19:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as listcruft ComputerJoe 22:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I can see plenty of uses for this in the future, especially when elaborating on our transport article. "Cruft" is being used too indiscriminately here, it wasn't created out of obsession. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 23:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. An informative and comprehensive look at flight numbers. This is information not crud or its non-word counterpart "cruft". Let's give contributors a minimum of respect. -- JJay 01:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: the paragraph in Singapore Airlines is plenty. Any exceptions can be noted there. Calwatch 05:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, otherwise transwiki per nominator's suggestion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singapore Airlines fleet. - Mailer Diablo 03:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Airline scheduling information is prone to changing frequently making this thing tough to keep updated. It's better covered by Singapore Airlines' own website. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is a very good and well-researched article, but it is subject to change and is unencyclopedic. I hesitate to call it listcruft and I am not asserting anything but the utmost good faith by the nominator, but this simply does not belong in an encyclopedia. Stifle 13:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. per all of the reasons above. Vegaswikian 08:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. —This user has left wikipedia 10:09 2006-02-02

[edit] Ultan

Not enough notability as a saint for an entire article. Either deserves a space in another article, or should not be mentioned.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Last Avenue (talk • contribs) .

  • Speedy Keep All RC Saints are notable enough for their own article. This article should have been tagged for expansion, not AfD. (Note: I have also objected to the speedy delete tag on the talk page).Youngamerican 00:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, saint with article in real encylopedia [1]. Renaming sounds right. Kappa 00:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per Young American. Ruby 00:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep and rename to St. Ultan of Ardbraccan per Youngamerican. The speedy tag I placed was incorrect and I now recognize that. SYCTHOStalk 00:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Saint is notable.. per above rename may be a good idea Nick Catalano (Talk) 00:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • keep and rename. I've extended the article a bit further. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be that much known about him. Grutness...wha? 03:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Useful to have a list of saints. Maustrauser 05:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename. Saints are inherently interesting to historians of Roman Catholicism, a notable world religion. -Ikkyu2 07:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gleek (Involuntary spit)

I'm AFDing this mainly because I'm sure someone will speedy it as patent nonsense if I don't. It gets quite a few google hits [2] so it does appear to be a meaningful concept. Kappa 00:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Notable thing hitting the back of my neck in third period civics, circa 1993. Youngamerican 00:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Switching to regular keep per rewrite. Youngamerican 13:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as dictionary definition. Wikipedia is WP:NOT a dictionary. There is no reason to transwiki, as the definition is already noted on Wikitionary. SYCTHOStalk 00:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Sycthos. Ruby 00:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Assuming it is worthy of placement there, it should be in Wikitionary Nick Catalano (Talk) 00:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Please note that this article is a how-to of the procedure, not solely a dictionary definition. Brabblebrex 00:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism, unless sources can be cited. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC) as transwikkied, per SYCTHOS. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, including a how-to and a dictionary. Ikkyu2 03:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per per Scythos. Eusebeus 04:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Worthy of a short article (maybe), though it should be renamed as Gleeking as the action is not necessarily involuntary (as the article itself indicates). Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 05:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC).
    • If you think it should be done as such, go ahead. brabblebrex 07:43, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Done. Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 18:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Changing my vote to Strong keep, as the article has been renamed and significantly cleaned up. Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 20:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete (or maybe cross-wiki to Wiktionary). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 07:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Transwiki is another option. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 09:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • It's a real word for a real action, but it has no potential for expansion. Delete. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 11:15, Jan. 28, 2006
  • Keep This is not a dicdeff, it is a brief scientific entry. It doesn't logically fit on another page, so it's own page seems fine. The meaning is dic deff. The fact that it can be done is an interesting biological fact. It could be expanded a bit with links or descriptions of the glands or nerves or whatever that make this work.Obina 11:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete, just not enough content there yet to rise above a dicdef. Allow a better article to be created in the future, but delete for now. Turnstep 14:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The future is here! Keep the new and improved version. Turnstep 02:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep this fine little stub. Could do with attention from someone with a grasp of the biology, but that's no reason to delete. Lupin|talk|popups 14:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and transwikied. *drew 16:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete since (a) this is not the only definition of gleeking I've seen and (b) none of the definitions I've seen constitutes a reliable source and (c) it's a dictdef anyway. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 19:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Also, nonsense: how can there be a how-to for an "involuntary" action? —rodii 19:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The article has been renamed as Gleeking and indicates that gleeking may be voluntary or involutary. It is thus no longer vulnerable to this (formerly legitimate) objection. Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 20:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Noted in the Wiktionary ComputerJoe 22:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Needs some cleanup but it does cite several sources. (ESkog)(Talk) 23:58, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Bemused keep: This is one of those articles that make me blink a couple times. It's kind of silly, could very well be an extremely subtle joke, but it does have a spiffy graphic and big words. It also has pretty decent references and citations, and I suppose it's indisputable that it describes something that does actually happen. If culture has stepped up to fill a linguistic void which science has neglected, shouldn't this entry have a kind of common law right to exist? Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 00:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • weak keep. It seems to be real, and has been around since at least 1988, with several citations. As long as we can write more than a dicdef on the topic (and a scientific explanation with diagram seems to fit that) it's worth keeping. Night Gyr 01:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Also, this article has changed significantly since the nomination. Many of the original objections no longer apply. Night Gyr 01:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: this is now far beyond a dictionary definition. Ardric47 03:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep; although I'd generally heard gleek used in a slightly different sense than in the article.--ragesoss 04:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Adrian Lamo. I can't see any reason to delete. Stifle 13:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Mccready 16:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable and verifiable. Ifnord 19:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Already redirected to Gleeking, which was definitely the right thing to do, IMHO.--M@rēino 17:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • For the record, the content was moved to Gleeking (an article that did not previously exist). Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 19:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge into Zanzibar and editorialise. First up, the nomination was just a vote, not a nomination at all. Secondly, that vote was one for merging. Now, AfD is not the place to go if you want an article to be merged. You can do that yourself. Maybe we should have a Wikipedia:Request for merge page for those who want a merge but don't know how? But we've already got those purdy tags ... fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep/Rewrite: You'd never know it from the article but the American/P. Emerson Williams version of this band has released four full-length albums - and at least three of them are available on Amazon. So the band is apparently notable. The article is just written so poorly that it's hard to tell. I would've voted Delete/Rewrite but there's some interesting info in the article if you read hard enough and that shouldn't be lost. —Wknight94 (talk) 06:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • keep (wonderful job with the rewrite) --Melaen 16:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: As original writer of article I do not understand what was so "poorly written" about it. Though the discography is appreciated (I had meant to add it myself) to have everything about the history of the project blanked out reduces any of the identifying characteristics of the project. And it is a project, not a "band" insofar as the music is not conventional and the members do not play live shows. Please inform me if I've broken some Wikipedia rule in posting this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Psychaotic (talk • contribs) .
    • No offense but it was fairly confusing the way it was. It was also very non-standard. The standard is to give a short, sweet introduction and then try to give some history. And the quantity of history should be relative to the importance of the band. No one's ever heard of this band so it doesn't make sense to write a longer article for it than a more well-known band. This was getting into deeper detail than I think most wanted to hear. Maybe that's just me though - when I read biographies on bands' websites, I usually bail-out from sheer boredom after about a paragraph - and that's for bands I love. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The way I figure it, especially in the digital milieu "significance" is becoming more and more subjective and the grounds for determining it are hazy. I felt that the history, in this case, is part of what makes the project significant. Have you ever heard of another band or project that formed from more than one individual using the same (obscure) name and then deciding to collaborate? Or a band with occult referents that had not one but two incidents of natural disasters following completions of their works? I appreciate your constructive criticism here (just saying something is poorly written is not constructive crit imho) but as far as "deeper detail" goes, what else would someone want when they look up something in an encyclopedia? If one merely wants a definition they go for a dictionary. I'd have gone on for three or four screens of text that would've been one thing; I consciously and conscientiously kept it pretty simple. I don't want to be a pain in the rear (I imagine this place is full of idiotic, interminable time-wasting arguments and I do not want this to become one of same) but I would like to replace some of the information that the rewrite discarded - particularly the above information as it is of primary significance - and it is my hope that if I do so in a more succinct fashion that it will not be hosed off. Psychaotic 00:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • That sounds like a plan. If you caught the end of my earlier sentence: "there's some interesting info in the article if you read hard enough and that shouldn't be lost". I think it's all in the presentation. Some of that may have been better suited in an "Interesting facts" section rather than being the core of the overall article. Basically, the core of every musical band article should be the music. In this case, the music got drowned out by the bio. That's probably the way I should have said it in the first place so I apologize if I offended. I'd say go ahead and put whatever you want in there and you'll probably have other pairs of eyes making sure the point of the article isn't lost. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

DON'T DELETE: While the diet described may sound ridiculous to some, it is of interest to those who want to know more about the different diets that exist, and the guidelines for each. As a nutritionist, I found this article fascinating, not because I agree with the guidelines put forth in the Primal Diet, but of rhte diet's unique approach to health and human history. The article could be re-written to make it easier for readers to understand.

[edit] Primal Diet, Aajonus Vonderplanitz

Article about a non-notable diet fad. "Primal Diet" only gets 6,000 search results on Google, and the creator is similarly doomed to obscurity with only 16,000 hits.

  • An article that looks to me like promotion of a coined word as recently as last year. Delete. Georgia guy 01:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. I don't think it deserves a Wikipedia entry but I have heard it used by quite a few people. Wasn't it even on The OC or something? Cyde Weys 01:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The article is incorrect in several places. Perhaps a transwiki would be right, but the article would have to be completely redone. Rory096 00:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Lack of notability. Google search turned up only 30 pages or so, with Wikipedia ranked second. Bcasterline 06:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep per WP:CORP. Stifle 16:52, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • A Google search doesn't turn up anything I can see that would satisfy WP:CORP -- no press releases, publications, etc. Seems totally unremarkable to me. Bcasterline 15:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't see how those guidelines are applicable given that this is not a company. -- JJay 15:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
        • None of the existing notability guidelines are applicable. But this organization is not newsworthy, a criterion which is central to WP:CORP, WP:BIO, WP:WEB, and the general spirit of "notability". Participation by a few companies that are notable does not guarantee notability. Bcasterline 15:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
      • As none of the guidelines are applicable I feel even more comfortable voting keep for a non-profit active in social causes, especially as corporate respônsibility issues are not exactly front-page news in Germany. -- JJay 16:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - Despite its name, this organization seems to be the product of some corporate leaders' vanity, but I'm afraid they're notable enough. See http://www.ethniki.gr/en/pr_release_resb.asp?P_ID=348 — Hillel 03:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Strong Delete: Caravaca (below) is right, having looked carefully at the website and at the other Google hits, in the light of his comment, I'm now convinced this is indeed a non-notable one-man vanity "association". Exactly the stuff we shouldn't be fooled by. This one was well disguised though. — Hillel 15:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The individuals named in the article are world-famous and their activities, including this one, are notable. They're also newsworthy, if you read the financial pages. The article itself could use some expansion - I think I'll put a "stub" tag on it if I can figure out the best one to use. -Ikkyu2 03:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looked at this for some time. I don't like the total absence of a German-language equivalent of the same site (which might have been more informative) - suggests they may not actually be doing anything much. I agree with the view that this may simply be a vanity-association created by a well-connected banker who wants to ensure his place in history. Does "notable" mean well-connected or significant? Not significant. Caravaca 13:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • What banker? The article and website clearly state that the Institute was founded by a professor. Also the Institute's seminars and publications are listed on the website, with materials available in both English and German. -- JJay 16:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
The "professor" was actually a banker who got himself an honorary professorship (a modern German equivalent of a knighthood or an earldom). And the website itself (or any equivalent) is not in German, which suggests to me that it isn't aimed at Germans, which doesn't make sense if it is in Frankfurt. Normally German websites of this calibre are bi-lingual with the main version being in German. Caravaca 16:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I think you are going a bit far in your statements. Checking on Professor Pohl, I get 20,000 google hits [5]. From what I can tell, he has been a historian for at least 30 years and a Prof since the early 90s. He has written approximately 30 works of financial history [6]. He thus does not seem to be a banker who has gotten himself a title. He also would not seem to need the ICCA to "ensure his place in history". -- JJay 16:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I came across a second professor with the same name while researching; you might be getting them mixed up, or I might be wrong, but I've run out of time for this. Caravaca 19:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Definitely. MacArthur genius grant is quite prestigous, and she was profiled in serveral publications of high (enough) readership. I'd like a little more on her own publications, but she looks more notable than your "average professor". Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 07:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep on the basis of MacArthur Fellowship. It's not as prestigious as it used to be and there were rumoured political factors in her selection, but it's still a keep. Crunch 14:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Interesting. Are the rumors (or at least their existance) of politcal factors sufficiently verifiable to include that info in the article? All I know about this lady is what I read in the cited news stories. Crypticfirefly 18:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't know what led to this particular individual winning her grant, but in general, it boggles my mind that a MacArthur Grant in any way constitutes noteworthiness on WP. (See [8] for starters.) --Aaron 18:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Why so? It makes her "more well known" than the average professor, she is arguably a participant in a "newsworthy" event, and many do consider it an indication that her work is somehow exceptional: only a handful of people receive these awards. It's no Nobel prize, but its not like she won a blue ribbon at the county fair for growing a vegetable that resembles G. Gordon Liddy. The article you link is interesting, but it seems to go to the award recipients for the arts, which no doubt are more susceptible to being "political" choices than the academic awards.Crypticfirefly 05:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

    • You'd think so, but i wrote an article about a professor at my university, who was a nobel prize winner, and it was deleted as a nn-bioHelzagood 01:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC).. ps. I don't know if the american community is aware, but the US is different to most other places with respect to professors; in most places, someone that lecturers at a university is not a professor by default, a lecturer becomes a professor upon reaching certain requirements, often, this involves becoming a fellow of their applicable chartered body, and only after years (decades) of dedicated research is this acheived. A professor, in the UK, for example is the highest accolade acheiveable in a lecturers' career; which starts with lectureship, then senior lectureship, then readership/chairmanship, then professorship. Many of my lecturers have been in their job for 20 years and are still only lecturers, this nothing against them, it is just that in the UK, it is a demanding task to climb the status scale. I have it on good understanding, however that in the US, everyone who lectures at a university/college is a professor, which may cause some confusion.Helzagood 01:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Interesting. I don't see anyone on the Nobel laureates by country under the United Kingdom with red links. Perhaps the list is incomplete? I should think that any article on a Nobel prize winner that notes that fact in the article would not be deleted as "non-notable." Which article that you created was deleted?

  • Keep and allow for organic growth. Bahn Mi 16:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps I was somewhat negligent in the summary I provided, though it appears a few users noticed anyway. This article is about a "school" within Kalinga Institute for Industrial Training. This Institute is not a higher-level education provider, and does not confer degrees to its graduates, but rather is a typical technical institute. See listing of programs offered at KIIT Moreover, the article is inappropriately titled. As far as I see, these are the options:

  1. Move to IBAT or Institute of Business Administration and Training if you want this article kept as is
  2. Move to Kalinga Institute for Industrial Training if you believe the institute is important, but the school isn't (again - the school is one part of the institute)
  3. Delete if you believe that neither the school, nor the institute with which it is affiliated, deserve an article.

As stated in my summary, I believe the latter option makes the most sense. Mindmatrix 00:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 593 (number)

Delete. WP:NUM says we should list numbers up to 200. I see no compelling reason to keep a nearly empty article on what appears to be a relatively uninteresting number. I would have speedily deleted this, but I'm not sure it fits into any of the listed criteria. Fropuff 04:00, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. — Hillel 04:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep – Changing my vote (in all good faith) to "weak keep" following Ruby's amazing efforts to save the article.

      • Keep. The improvements to the article clearly assert the notability of 593 as a right prime, a good prime, and a number used in a song with album sales > 5000. -Ikkyu2 05:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as the legitimate successor to 592. Ruby 04:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

        • Comment Take a look at the article now and tell me its not a keeper. Ruby 05:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I appreciate Ruby's good faith efforts to improve the article, but no one can change the fact that this is a relatively uninteresting number. I could write just as many "interesting facts" about any given number. Why not write articles on 592 and 594 as well? If someone wants to change the policy to have an article on every number up to 1000, then I'm fine with keeping it. -- Fropuff 07:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, but I find no reason to doubt the existance of said number... Nick Catalano (Talk) 05:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, the effort to save this one was interesting at least. Ruby 05:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I know WP:NUM is not official policy, but it's a very reasonable policy to go by. Though the page has certainly improved since the initial nomination, 593 does not rise to "remarkable mathematical property" status. Vslashg 06:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Changing my vote to Weak keep. I personally don't like the precedent, but WP:NUM explicitly mentions the page 284 (number), which inarguably has less information than 593 (number). If this article survives AfD, 500 (number) should be fixed to link to it. Vslashg 06:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Gosh, look at all that good stuff about 593 in the 500 article! Ruby 06:45, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't forget WP:IAR. Also remember, policies are flexible. I think it's about time to update WP:NUM and include more numbers, don't you? Wikipedia has grown a lot since it was last looked at. Remember, help fight systemic anti-numeral bias on Wikipedia! --Cyde Weys 15:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Do forget WP:IAR; it is an escape hatch for emergencies. This is not one. 284 (number), like 641 (number), is the smallest integer in a quite sparse class. Septentrionalis 04:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Let's make more number articles! We all know that Wikipedia has continuum-many bytes of storage.  :) Segv11 (talk/contribs) 06:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I hate to resort to the Pokémon test, but... if freaking Golbat has its own article, freaking 593 deserves its own article. Not a ton of stuff is more notable than a number, right? Matt Yeager 07:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I was expecting to vote delete before I read it, but the article won me over. OhNoitsJamieTalk 08:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. A list of properties does not an interesting number make. That's to say, at least not significantly more interesting than any other number. There are no boring numbers! If we don't follow WP:NUM on this it would set an extremely bad precedent. Zunaid 14:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete thre are infinite numbers -Doc ask? 15:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • So what if there are infinite numbers? There's only one 593! I don't see your point. Help fight systemic anti-numeral bias on Wikipedia! --Cyde Weys 15:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

      • Seeing as how there are now over 900K articles I don't think it could hurt to have a few dozen more articles on prime numbers with interesting characteristics. All of this is patently verifiable (actually, provable), which makes it the best encyclopedic content possible. --Cyde Weys 15:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep after viewing the article establishing its notability. Good job. I might just even remove the stub tag from it. Turnstep 16:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Harmless. Ashibaka tock 20:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep : Prime number, has some information from other sources. An "infinitely large" prime would NOT work because who has written an article about a 10 digit prime? Calwatch 05:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment to all keepers using the "interesting" rationale: (I hope I'm not wasting my time with this, please read and consider carefully). There are infinitely many prime numbers. There are infinitely many prime numbers with "interesting" properties (a subjective measure in any case). There are infinitely many prime numbers with more "interesting" (and "more interesting") properties than 593. Lastly, Wikipedia is not infinite. We delete articles all the time on the basis of being non-notable ← and by this definition this number satisfies being non-notable (as I've just demonstrated, I admit my proof wasn't mathematically rigorous). Please consider whether "interesting" is a justifiable reason for keeping this article per what has been shown here. Thanks! Zunaid 11:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: well obviously Wikipedia needs a lot more disk space so we can keep articles for this number, as well as many other interesting numbers. Segv11 (talk/contribs) 19:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Even though I claim to be a deletionist, I find waiving around Wikipedia is not infinite to be just as annoying as waving around Wikipedia is not paper. In fact, to quote the former guideline, "While it is true that Wikipedia is not infinite, it must also be said that deleting an article does nothing to reduce the amount of space taken up by that article. All deleted content on Wikipedia remains stored on the servers." This particular number isn't any old integer, it has an assertion of significance, and it has a decent article written about it. I can't ask much more of it. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 20:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete (and I'm an inclusionist). There are an infinite number of primes, about half of them are "good" (as the list will show) - a feature which is in any case interesting only in a small context not mentioned here. Septentrionalis 04:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems notable. Its sometimes useful to look at these things. Think of this as an OLEIS for integers. Comment to all deleters: OLEIS is the "On-line Encyclopaedia of Integer sequences", its considered to be an important resource for math. Sure, there are an infinite number of sequences, (and then some), but it is very useful to be able to look them up, if faced with one that you have in front of you, and you don't know what it is. For grins, check out the OLEIS 100K party -- that's right, they are 1/10 'th the size of all of WP, and 10 x larger than all WP math articles put together. linas 01:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Notable number. Important for keeping 592 and 594 from bumping into each other. Good rewrite by Ruby saves the article. Wikipedia is not paper, so why delete a perfectly good article? Herostratus 08:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Tracy

Article about non-notable social worker. I think the assertion of notability is weak enough to support a speedy delete, but I also think it's close enough to the line not to speedy it unilaterally. —Cleared as filed. 05:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ohio second congressional district other candidates

A bunch of deleted articles have been recreated in this space, which sort of makes a mockery of the term "deletion". I think, in the 200+ years that it's been a state, more than these hanbdful of insignificant fellows have run for representative of Ohio's second district. Some of them may have even been nominated. Not these guys though. -R. fiend 20:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

And considering the one "keep" result had 8 deletes, 2 keeps, and 1 merge, one has to wonder how the closing admin came to the peculiar decision to call it a "keep". --Calton | Talk 02:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete introduction demonstrates lack of notability --Ajdz 06:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, the c ompleteness argument is not persuasive: simply listing the losers in the article for the election fulfills the encyclopaedic purpose of this article. The problem with losing candidates is thet most information on them comes from their own camp, and no further information is released after the election.

If one wants to do it anyway, there are other places to do so. - Magnus Holmgren 23:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - completely harmless inclusion - somebody somewhere at some point might want to know about these people, and who knows some of them might go on to do other things in which case we have the starting point for a future article if we leave this in; if you've voted delete on this, really, haven't you got anything better to do? SP-KP 00:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, for some of us, voting on deletion is our main contribution to Wikipedia. So no. - Randwicked Alex B 01:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Personally, I think one of the biggest weaknesses of the wikipedia is the {afd} procedure. When I look at some of the nominations which generate discussion what I find is the same bunch of regulars. And many of those regulars show no interest in following procedure, or even giving the articles a fair reading.
  • Some of the regular habitues have personal axes to grind. Some regulars use the {afd} fora to suppress information that they regard as "anti-American", without regard to its verifiability or how neutrally it is expressed.
  • Many regulars base their vote on whether they regard the article as POV. Some even base their nomination on their opinion that an article is POV, even though the wikipedia deletion policy says that the correct response to a perception that an article shows a biased POV is to raise that issue on the article's talk page.
  • I think the wikipedia would be improved if steps were taken so that there was a monthly cap on how many times per month people could vote in the {afd} fora. This would rein in those regulars who use the fora as a venue to trot out their personal prejudices. Regretably, this would also cap those responsible wikipedians who come regularly to the {afd} fora, and actually read the articles nominated for deletion, and make an independent choice every time they vote. But that would be better than the current situaiton. -- Geo Swan 21:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article created as a compromise, in order to help Wikipedia's coverage of American politics. This article should probably use a better title, however, especially since this office is up for election again in less than a year. Academic Challenger 21:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Not notable (very few google hits). Advertising. Sleepyhead 13:16, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Advertising for a commercial (.com) startup (still in beta - not fully live yet). There are a great many worldwide carriers that use interesting tech on their websites, e.g. for parcel tracking etc, that are far more notable, like Group 4 Securicor, DHL etc. Maybe once they're live and have achieved something commercially...? --Nigelj 13:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep speaking as a programmer, this company is both significant and relevant. found this one on a bay area blog and clicked thru to learn more. there are no other firms that have tackled ecommerce from a web 2.0 perspective, as the article states. this company is perhaps more notable than half the other companies in the website category.

It will define new standards of customer service in this instant gratification world and even the playing field in the battle between brick and click retailers. They are game changers! MJR 15:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: There are an lot of new accounts voicing their opinions here and on the related AfD. Can I please remind you that AfD is not a vote, but rather a method of building consensus. Whilst the opinions of new users are very welcome, the admin who closes this AfD is not obliged to treat them all with the same weight. Personally I think the article Licketyship is more notable than the article on Robert Pazornik, especially as all relevant information from that article can be included in this one. So that'd be a weak keep, but it could still do with being verified/cleaned up. --Petros471 16:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I should probably first qualify that while my account is new, I am not a new user, I have been contributing religiously by IP only for the past 3 years. I stumbled to the LicketyShip article while reading about other Web 2.0 companies, and I must say I'm mostly (though not entirely) befuddled as to why its up for deletion as NN. I have a feeling that most advocating delete don't really know much about web 2.0 and why it's important. The editor who made the comment about Group 4 Securicor and DHL is a perfect exemplar; those companies are about as similar to what Licketyship is doing as Kodak is to Flickr. There is a substantial public interest in this company not only becuase it is part of a larger, more significant movement, but also becuase its doing something no other company has done (or tried to do) before - and it's entirely verifiable. If you do a bit more than a quick google, this company has been covered by Fortune, CNN, and NYT - and I found those in about 2 minutes worth of research. That said, this is my first AfD vote, and hopefully my last.--Bigbang21 22:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Rory096 00:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm admittedly new to editing. I read wikipedia a lot, but havent edited any pages. I searched for licketyship after reading the techcrunch blog. I guess they're not a huge company, but they're apparently notable enough to be recognized by stanford's tech community. I'm not really sure what the standard is for deleting an entry (lack of notability?), but when I google them, I come up with all sorts of hits and articles. Does that not make them notable? Or is it something about what the company does that would make them notable? If its the former, I guess you could be objective by measuring how many pieces in the popular press mention them (which seems to be quite a few). If its the latter, then I guess its pretty subjective, and if you don't know much about the space the company is in, you might not be qualified to voice an opinion -- that's just my 2 cents. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.198.133.103 (talk • contribs) 06:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1967 in radio

This is a very short article with only one piece of information. This information is already contained in the Minnesota Public Radio article. James084 13:42, 28 January 2006 (UTC) I am withdrawing my nomination and/or changing my vote based on the work performed by Grutness. This article is much more useful now. James084 16:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep; we also have a number of other articles on "year in radio", such as 1950 in radio, and a category: Category:Years in radio. The article should however been much shortened, as it is supposed to be a list of events without detailing them. - Liberatore(T) 13:50, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Liberatore. Ruby 15:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. And all the other related empty bullet points too. One article covers it already. Metta Bubble 15:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I have rechecked the new version and, my apologies to those working on this, I still think a merge and delete is appropriate. The purpose of these Category:Years in radio articles still seems a little obscure and MPR centric. Metta Bubble 09:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Browsing through the years in radio category reveals it to be largely empty and without clear intent. Grutness' work puts this just above threshhold; a comprehensive timeline would be interesting, but a massive amount of work. Eusebeus 15:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - per nom. Latinus 19:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC) (changed vote)
  • Keep. I've expanded it a little, and a trawl through the events, births and deaths of 1967 categories by someone in the know should enable this to be expanded much further. Grutness...wha? 00:13, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I've now extended it quite a bit further... Grutness...wha? 09:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christo-Heathenry

Article is about an interesting subject, but no citations and only five Google hits for the term mean that it qualifies as original research. - squibix 14:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Non-notable and no resources. --Brian1979 14:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

    • I would say not, because the term is essentially a neologism. - squibix 15:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The author has created a neologism from the word "heathenry" used in the source website by deliberately combining it with the prefix "Christo-" (possibly to troll Christians on Wikipedia). Ruby 15:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't see this a troll at all: to me it looks likes a very interesting expirement in syncretism undertaken by a very small unencyclopedic number of people. I particularly liked the comparison, on the englishfolkchurch.com website, of this phenomenon to the Japanese blending of Buddhidm and Shinto. - squibix 15:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I'm Christian, Catholic specifically, and didn't find it offensive. However it is admittedly a neologism and shouldn't be an article until/unless it gains currency.--T. Anthony 15:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Interestingly the term "Christo-paganism" already has some hits.[18] Not enough to justify keeping it under that name, but maybe the idea will latch on to some term. I'm not sure how you'd mix Christianity with paganism though as Christianity is monotheistic. (Whereas Buddhism was agnostic or just non-specific on Gods)--T. Anthony 15:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

In Njal's Saga, the man who brought Christianity to Iceland in the 900s is described as saying, "Thor would be nothing by dust and ashes if Christ did not permit him to live." - squibix 15:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete, article is a hoax, basically. It's nonsense based on an article from the Weekly World News, a goofy fiction rag with headlines like "space aliens ate clinton's brain" and so on.

I am a resident of "West" Morgan Park, which actually shares the zip code, 60643, with Beverly. It is true that there are Irish Pubs on Western Avenue; in fact, I practically live across the street from one. However, no one, and I repeat, NO ONE has ever called the following neighborhoods of Mount Greenwood, Morgan Park, or Beverly "Irishtown." I was born and raised in the Southside of Chicago, and I have never heard anyone ever refer to the area in question by the name "Irishtown."

  • Comment: It's nice that everyone is into this Seattle grunge movement but it seems like there's a need to have one all-encompassing Seattle Grunge history article that captures this endless legion of one-hit or one-album wonders that supposedly rocked every party in Seattle for six months fifteen years ago. It doesn't seem necessary to list how every individual band was "part of starting the movement" only to have various band members "lose interest" and "move on to other projects" or have major labels drop them because of "turmoil within the band", etc., etc. Boring and redundant... Just my opinion anyway. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment: Well I'm not an admin so I didn't delete it - clearly someone else should be voting delete here and clearly the speedy appropriateness isn't so clear. WP:BAND is guideline for notability and notability is a criteria for speedy deletion. There used to be a note that WP:BAND is basically criteria for speedy so I guess admins need to get their stories straight. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment: WP:BAND can't be used for speedy. CSD A7 says "an article about a real person, group of people, band or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject". This article asserts significance, even if it's less than what is required by WP:BAND. In the past I mistakenly deleted a small number of articles following WP:BAND and they went to deletion review, so Leithp did the right thing here. Mushroom 16:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Well I'm confused. If the band does seem notable, maybe someone wants to kill the Afd's (including the other Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Distance (Album)), restore the band article and then see what to do from there, eh? I'm still troubled by this whole "U.S. tour" thing. They played at a couple festivals - does that really constitute a "U.S. tour"? Another of my Afd's is dead because the band toured as the opening act to some notable bands. Does that really count? Seems a little too ambiguous to me. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green Gel Records

  • Delete: Non-notable record label whose only associations in the article are with non-notable bands (either already deleted or also in Afd). Not sure what the notability standards are for record labels but releasing one notable album would seem like a prerequisite to me.

[edit] Lane K. Akiona

  • Non-notable church official. Rmhermen 16:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I disagree with Wikipedia administrator Rmhermen's remark that the comment that Father Akiona is a non-notable church official. Where exactly in the Wikipedia policy is the term "non-notable" defined? He is a vicar forane in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu. Until the phrase "non-notable" is clearly defined, I respectfully submit that your request for speedy deletion of this article is arbitrary and capricious. Aloysius Patacsil 18:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • My being an admin has no bearing on whether the subject is notable nor on the process of deletion. Please read WP:NN for a discussion of guidelines. Rmhermen 19:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I have read the guidelines at WP:NN and still respectfully maintain that your request for deletion is arbitrary and capricious. I maintain that the existing guideline is insufficient as to dismiss my article as non-notable; the guideline itself states that there are no objective criteria for notability besides Alexa and Google tests. I have authored many articles on Catholicism in the western United States and the Pacific Rim to understand what would be considered notable. I have annotated my source materials for others to confirm the verifiability of the article. Finally, the article while obscure to you, is not necessarily so to readers interested in the subject matter. Other than dismissing my work on Father Akiona using a phrase such as non-notable, please articulate your specific objections using objective criteria. Aloysius Patacsil 19:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

*Delete Non notable. I'm very sorry if this harsh sounding phrase sounds like a critique of the subject or the author. This is not intended. Though the exact rule on notability is difficult, there are clear guidelines to help, and a lot of precident. Then we check for consensus. I understand he is Vicar forane. The question is what other grounds for notability exist? Is he an author or often quoted in newspapers? Obina 22:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singapore Airlines fleet

This nomination accompanies the Singapore Airlines flight numbers nomination. The fleet is not noteworthy enough in itself to need its own article. Most of the article is a list of statistics on the fleet anyway. I would support moving some of the data to WikiSource, however. Dbinder 16:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete (nominator). Dbinder 16:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Where does the source belong to? SOME of the information, what do you mean? I have a feeling that you are trying to pin-point at our articles. Wikipedia has so many unencyclopedic articles, and this informative encyclopedic information is nominated for deletion. This does not fall in the criteria of WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. So let's just withdraw this AFD, instead of making a big fuss here. Could we all discuss this at the talk page instead of bringing it to AFD and the article will be gone forever. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 17:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • A few things: first, where's this talk page you reference? The article's discussion page hasn't even been created. Secondly, the "Wikipedia has so many unencyclopedic articles" argument is old, tired, and doesn't work - you're an AfD veteran, you should know that by now. If you know of other unencyclopedic articles, you're free to AfD them yourself. Lastly, since this is not the type of information one would find in an encyclopedia or almanac, how is this not an indiscriminant collection of information? -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 17:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
        • I have so many things to do beside AFDs, article editing, uploading my photos etc. Besides, now is the Chinese New Year festive season. I can't be doing too much work here. I will do all this when I have the time. I will just store it somewhere, to me it has an encyclopedic value. I'm an inclusionist, this articles are encyclopedic. Its I don't have the time to go and find articles to nominate it for AFD. I have to balance my school work with Wikipedia work. Fleet information does not meet the Wikipedia is not an indiscriminant collection of information, they are telephone directories and all the topics you can find at the WP:NOT page for more information. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 18:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
          • You seem to be taking this as a personal attack. If you looked at my edit history you'd see that I've been going through airport and airline articles to clean them up. When I got to the SIA article I noticed a lot of unencyclopedic information. No one is belittling the myriad of contributions you've made to other articles about Singapore. And like I said, the information is not useless, it just doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Dbinder 20:42, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
            • This information is better than some vanity and neologism in an encyclopedia. There's some value in it. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 02:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Admins, please note that the nominator voted for his own proposal and should not be double counted. (No vote.) Calwatch 05:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep encyclopedic content. --Vsion 23:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the fleet and SIA are two different entities, just like the United States Army and the Military of the United States is. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 23:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, a discussion of the fleet might be one thing, but all of the unencyclopedic tables made my eyes cross. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Singapore is one of the truly important global carriers and this discussion of their fleet is fascinating. I could spend hours digging into something like this and I know the subject interests an enormous amount of people. The fact that a team of editors have spent over a year developing such a great, informative presentation makes me proud. -- JJay 01:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Please note that I looked at this user's last 2000 edits and found none to any articles related to Singapore. However, I did discover that the user frequently goes to Afd pages to vote keep and then make comments like this. Furthermore, spending a year developing an informative presentation does not qualify material for inclusion in Wikipedia. Original research quite often takes more than a year, and that is explicity against policy. Dbinder 01:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • What is your point? Must I have edited this article to vote? Or are you saying that only editors who work on Singaporean topics can participate here? Should I check your edits to see if you frequently try to delete material on Singapore? Frankly, I don't have the inclination to do that, but I am impressed that you found the time to study my last 2,000 edits. - JJay 02:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • It's really not hard to look at someone's edit history. It took me all of 2 minutes. I didn't say you have to have participated in the Singapore project to vote. I was referring to your reason for your vote, which is ridiculous. Your statement that you "could spend hours digging into something like this" implies that you have some level of interest. Yet, not once have you even made a minor edit to a Singapore-related page. It also appears to be a trend that you vote keep and say how important an article is when you have no prior involvement in the subject. If you had voted keep because you believe it belongs in Wikipedia, then that would have been fine, but don't pretend to be overly interested in something you're not. Dbinder 12:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Dbinder, your attempt to discredit my vote by branding it ridiculous is in very poor taste. As you are an authority given the "two minutes" you spent studying my last two thousand edits, you probably know that I edit articles purely at random. Your analysis would further show that my edit list articles do not reflect any particular interest. I would also submit that they do not reflect the articles that I read. They do not, by definition, show how I spend the hours of my day. Of course, your interpretation may be different, given that you spent "all of two minutes" on the issue, although in my defense I would say it took me somewhat more than "two minutes" to make those edits.
I did not ask if you were an authority on the airline industry. I did not ask if you were an expert on Singapore. I do not know if you are an airline executive with a grudge or an unemployed student with too much time on his hands. I do not know what articles you edit, or if you do any editing at all. I am also not going to ask to see the books you take out of the library. However, I stand fully by what I said. Airline fleets interest an enormous amount of people. SIA interests an enormous amount of people. If this was not true, I would have a hard time explaining the +100,000 google hits for the topic [27].
I do not believe that editing an article makes one an expert. I am unsure that there is a correlation between editing an article and knowledge. I also value the participation and input of all contributors. Please take more than "two minutes" the next time you choose to render judgement or attack someone. -- JJay 14:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Your comment does nothing to refute my claim. The fact that the subject is interesting to a large number of people is not what the debate is about. The question is whether a series of tables about an airline's fleet belongs in an encyclopedia. Finally, your sarcastic comments are not appreciated. If you interpret my questioning of your motives for voting here as a personal attack, then I apologize, but responding in kind is counterproductive. Dbinder 15:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I do consider your questioning of my motives to be a personal attack, although I will accept your apologies. However, I am not here to refute your claims about my interests. Please also refrain from lecturing me about which comments are productive. I have not found your approach here to be productive. I did not find your attack to be productive. Lastly, I believe the question of whether I felt this article belonged here was answered with my original comment. -- JJay 15:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This is ridiculous, Dbinder. What are you trying to say here. Anyway, can't an article be different from others. Why can't we be unique? --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 02:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep An article on the fleet of a major international airline is encyclopedic (as far as a wiki encyclopedia - not paper - goes) and, as far as I'm concerned, reasonably interesting too. If we can have multiple articles on such trivia as Pokemon characters we can have an article on SIA's fleet. --kingboyk 05:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. If you wish to dig into my edit history, you'll find no Singapore edits that I can recall (but so what? I know an important global carrier when I see one), and a heap of 'delete' votes. --kingboyk 05:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete I have yet to see a fleet table that requires an article. If you read the intro it sounds like an advert for the airline. There is a discussion going on about what needs to be in the fleet table. If this level of detail is really needed, then include it in that discussion because if we need it for one airline then we need it for all. Vegaswikian 05:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Also, none of the information on the page is cited. Tables of statistics like that need to have references. Dbinder 13:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment The "lack of refenrencing" issue has been resolved.--Huaiwei 17:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment As per below comment, it is ridiculous to believe that an article like this should be seen as setting a standard across all airline pages. Just as Category:Airline destinations does not contain an article for every single airline on this planet, it is ridiculous to set standards on how much information wikipedia can offer for specific topics of interests. The fleet table may be standardised to improve on aesthetic appeal and for ease in comparisons. Its standardisation does not have to be related to this particular article, however, for both can obviously co-exist as it already does so for SIA.--Huaiwei 17:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, or transwiki per nominator. - Mailer Diablo 03:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, topic is already well covered in the main Singapore Airlines article, and the only thing new this article has to offer is a detailed list of all the planes, info which changes frequently and tough to keep current. Better to leave that to the aviation websites. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge at best to Singapore Airlines. This is not a keep vote. Stifle 13:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Wikisource hosts previously published materials, not editor compiled lists. Perhaps some of this material would qualify, but do not delete because you are anticipate it being kept at Wikisource.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 14:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep I may be biased as the main contributor to this article, but that others similarly point out that SIA is considered a major player in the international aviation industry scene enforces the point that article like these should not be deleted based on the feasibility of having similar pages for all airlines. This article's existance does not entail that, and it never had that intention to. Individuals are entirely at their liberty to add similar pages to any other airline they deem feasible to do so. Secondly, this page is not difficult to maintain as claimed, for airlines generally do not see changes in their fleets any faster than otherwise imagined, especially when we are talking about SIA who buys exclusively wide-bodied aircraft, which are high-value planes usually taking months, if not years, to change hands. Last but not least, "listcraft", wikisource, and all that kind of stuff do not exactly apply here, when it seems neccesary to constantly emphasise that this is a helper article to prevent the Singapore Airlines page from becoming a monster article. I would certainly question the existance of all articles in Category:Airline destinations, Airline call sign, List of Boeing 777 operators, World's busiest airports by passenger traffic, amongst plenty of other similar articles. Deletionists will probably have a field day listing all of them for deletion if "listcraft" and "indiscriminant collection of information" are their sole criterion. I have yet to see anyone actually explaining why this is an "indiscriminant collection of information" btw.--Huaiwei 14:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not an interesting article. Too much bland statistical information, and I can't see how it could be improved. Singopo 15:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I am surprised that personal "interest" is also a criteria for deletion. "Bland" statistics have a place in wikipedia, for they form the basis for more in-depth analysis. And that, of coz, is one example of a major room of improvement for this article, along with other possibilies for expansion (not neccesarily using statistics alone).--Huaiwei 17:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Where to begin.. the title needs work, since it's just about the U.S. but the title doesn't explain that. It's based entirely on an op-ed piece published today, and as written is rather POV, since it's really just restating some guy's POV on the matter. W.marsh 17:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. I simply can't find any verification of this place- the World Book mentions Oeno Island, but not Sandy Island; googles of the stuff about Sirius radio show nothing, searches for the company supposdely maintaing it come up dry, &etc. And the anon on Helpdesk who brought this issue to my attention says:

"The article is a total fallacy, probably planted by a Howard Stern Fan. All the names mentioned are characters in the Howard Stern Radio show. Sirius Satellite is only beamed to America, why would they need a to put a transponder in the South Pacific.

[edit] Chatanika River Women's Colony

I'm putting this up for deletion on the request of Anne Mareck, who wrote most of the article. She says: "I would like to have the whole thing deleted because, while I think the phenonema of the women's colonies of the 60s & 70s bear documentation, I feel that I am violating people's rights to privacy by posting. I didn't think it through well enough when I started it, I'm sorry I did it all wrong, I'll never do it again ((I promise)). Could you please delete the whole mess??" --maru (talk) contribs 18:23, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete If some sources can be listed on the article, then I think it belongs here. I couldn't verify the article with a Google search, so maybe this is just original research in which case it should be deleted. Unfortunately, I don't think privacy is a good reason to delete the article. It might be a reason to delete the many articles about individuals that redirect to this page. --Bill 18:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

The article is based on a community I lived in in the 70s. The material cannot be 'cited' because no one has ever published on the occurence. I had thought it was important to document one of these women's colonies--it seems like a shame for examples of cooperative ((NOT communal))communities to fade into the undocumented past. Yet I feel my attempt--and I wrote ALL of the article--is very difficult to complete without talking about the individuals involved. And that seems like an invasion of privacy. And yes, I had attempted to delete the articles about individuals which I started, but apparantly I do not have enough understanding of the format to do so successfully. At the very least, I would like to request the individual links be deleted.~afmareck

    • Comment I'll nominate those pages to be speedy deleted--Bill 18:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

hmmm...well I could continue the general article as a basis for investigation of the phenonema. I may be able to find information on other 'colonies' that existed around the same time and work to create some kind of cohesive whole. Yes, if the individual entries could be deleted that would be good. ~afmareck

Delete if you like, though as a joke religion it is necessarily nonsense. They really did publish their own bible which was distributed through (at least) Rip Off Press and (I think) Loompanics with copies sometimes turning up on Abebooks. Also, it did have an introduction by one of the founders of the Church of the SubGenius. These things make it somewhat more notable than many other solely internet-based joke religions, I think. There are older citations online on usenet (e.g. alt.slack and alt.discordia) going back to 1993. It could be mentioned as a trivia item on the SubGenius &/or Discordian pages.

This article seems to be an essay about some sort of DNA evidence or something. I really can't tell, I have an aversion to science journal articles.

  • Keep This is funny. I found the entry on pazornik through Licketyship after giving what I stated would be my first and last ever AfD vote. Then I see this one up for delete as well (sigh). Again, I'll pre-qualify that I am a new account, but by no means a new contributer. I'll re-state what I said on the Licketyship AfD: those advocating delete are likely unfamiliar with web 2.0 and why it's important. An editor calimed on the related AfD that Licketyship should be deleted becuase the company was not as interesting as DHL, which is patently ridiculous. That's like saying pazornik's entry should be deleted becuase he's not as interesting as Martha Stewart. In both cases, the 2 are very much dissimilar. I will point out that I would like to see the pazornik entry expanded, becuase as it stands, while he is interesting, the entry on him is not so much. But being a stub does not qualify one for deletion - there are a thousand entries on interesting topics I'd like to see expanded. I was interested enough in pazornik to click through his link and attempt to learn more, and the world is apparently interested enough in pazornik that he's been covered by Fortune, CNN, and NYT, to name a few uncovered by a 2 min. google. I rest. --Bigbang21 22:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment This article has been repeatedly speedied under different names.

[edit] The Case against alleged miracles at Lourdes

This page is essentially soapboxing and a general attack on Catholic belief. The article carries no real encyclopedaic purpose; it would be better for the reader to be given neutral information about the topic and allowed to form his or her own opinions. Some guy 20:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The same editor wrote Objections to Salvation Army Doctrines. That was deleted as this one should be. Lourdes says all that needs to be said about how people are deluded in this place. --Bduke 22:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but inject some balance. Maybe rename it as something like "The Alleged Miracles at Lourdes", then have a section on "The Case For", and a section on "The Case Against". It's a fascinating subject, and just removing the current text denies readers the opportunity to learn more about it. JackofOz 23:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Redirect if you insist, but Wikipedia is not a debate forum. Objections should be in the main article. if that is too long a balenced article with the case for and against should be made.

[edit] Organization of Indian kingdoms during invasions and facts related to the wars.

Thoroughly unencyclopedic article, consists entirely of (literal?) excerpts from a single book, might raise copyright issues too. Basically a POV fork of Islamic conquest of South Asia. It's linked to from a single page, Rajput, the site of one of the worst recent POV disputes, whose link text makes it clear it's intended as POV pushing: "There is a big misconception that India was conquered very easily by Muslims. Facts are very different and are discussed on the page pointed to by the heading of this section or click here". Lukas (T.|@) 21:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete this page, thoroughly encyclopedify the contents, and merge with the relevant section of the Rajput article. deeptrivia (talk) 19:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I would encourage people voting for delete to challenge the historical accuracy of this article. Each and every point mentioned in this article is historically true.

  • Delete. Article fails to make a case as to why this is considered notable. Maybe if there are such a thing as "male bikinis" then this can be discussed in a related article. 23skidoo 05:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. As it stands, article does not meet verifiability policy, as no sources are given. But suppose sources were found. Then this content would still not qualify as an article, as it is not about male bikini-wearing in general, but about male bikini-wearing on the beaches of Southport and Blackpool. But suppose male bikini-wearing were shown to be an important and widespread phenomenon. There is still no reason why this should be a separate article, rather than a mention or section in Bikini. There's no value to leaving the redirect in place, as it is very unlikely that anyone would search for this specific phrase. It can't be merged, as there's nothing verifiable to merge. Therefore: Delete. Contributors are welcome at any time to add well-sourced, verifiable information on male bikini-wearing in Southport to Southport; on male bikini-wearing in Blackpool to Blackpool; and, if a widespread phenomenon, to Bikini. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. OK, I gotta ask: do they wear the bikini tops, too? And what are the "cultural reasons?"

[edit] The Rebellion Party

I don't think this is quite a speedy candidate. It could be expanded into an article, perhaps. For right now, I recomend deletion as unencylopedic. brenneman(t)(c) 22:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


  • -Keep Hello, I am the author of this article and I would like to thank the Wikipedia community for this opportunity to defend my contribution.

I was thinking the idea of Wikipedia (please, correct me if I am wrong) is that if one member goes to the trouble of writing about something he/she deems as important and adds that information to Wikipedia in Good Faith, then it is worth having until proven other wise. Since this is a real political movement, which has the ability of becoming an elected representative of the people, it is of great importance to many people to know about this party and that it is actively looking for members from the general public.

The point that I would like to make in defense of the article is that, thankfully, "unencyclopedic" is not an official policy and therefore not a valid argument for deletion. It is an argument for discussion, which I am more then happy to do. Xwire 21:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

A minimum requirement is verifiablility from reliable sources. - brenneman(t)(c) 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

All I can say is that myself and other members are the only reliable sources on this topic. We are hoping that you would consider us to be the most important source in the event of vandals. Feel free to contact us if you need further evidence. .Xwire 23:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of fish on stamps

I found this article with a "db-nonsense" tag. It isn't patent nonsense, but I have moved it on to AfD. From the article's talk page:

"Lest anyone think this is frivolous, "fish on stamps" is indeed a standard collecting topic, and there is even a printed book on the subject."

Nominator abstains. — TheKMantalk 23:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • weak delete. Many stamp collectors do collect thematically, and fish is a major theme. But this list would be extremely large and of limited encyclopedia value, as well as being nigh on impossible to keep maintained, given the frequency of new stamp issues worldwide. Grutness...wha? 00:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I don't think this is particularly encyclopedia-worthy, but I'm not so strong in my opinion that I couldn't be swayed. Does Icthyophilately exist? Does it need to? -Ikkyu2 00:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm for keeping it. I don't have strong views but quite a bit of work seems to have gone into the various lists -- you'd actually be deleting many pages. There is a book, although perhaps predictably, it didn't hit the bestseller lists. Given the profusion of articles on Star Wars characters and their doings and other stuff like that, I can't really see that this does any great harm, although a worry would be how likely the different lists are to be updated. It's one of those pages that I wouldn't cry to see it gone but I don't see any great need to get rid of it. James James 00:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I'm not a collector, but it seems to be a valid subject for "topical collecting". Though many stamps are issued each year, there are not necessarily many that are of fish. Agree with James James. —ERcheck @ 01:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I imagine a lot of work did go into it, and if it were for a book on stamp collecting that'd be ideal, but it's not encyclopedic. --Brian1979 02:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are a couple dozen "standard" "X on stamps" topics - people (for which we have an extensive collection of lists), animals of various groups, ships/boats, etc. Fish is certainly one of the common topics. List is stable and low-maintenance when the listing includes a terminating date ("the list is complete through 1986"). I note that FishBase includes stamp data, so at least professional ichthyologists find it useful. "Encyclopedic"? Hard to say, since we don't actually have a non-tautological definition of the word ("it's encyclopedic if it's included in an encyclopedia"). Stan 03:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

      • Comment Thats what I was asking. Wikibooks seems the best bet, but I am leaning towards a keep vote here. Youngamerican 16:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think we're building a guide to stamp collecting but an encyclopedia. --kingboyk 05:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Fish are a popular theme in topical stamp collecting, and I see no reason why Wikipedia cannot accommodate a basic list. Walkerma 06:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep One of main theme in topical stamp collecting. Plus on fr.wiki, these pages were created by a user specialized in biology and she underscored the errors of naming species on stamps. Sometimes these themes can be linked to some stamp designers like André Buzin with Birds on stamps of Belgium. Sebjarod 12:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems like a harmless list, would be of great interest to some people. Grandmasterka 22:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep and ask nominator to stop and think next time. Wikipedia is not paper, people. Some day we hope all the articles are as thorough as this sort of thing makes stamp collecting. The editors of this deserve a medal, not a delete nomination. --James S. 09:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, a popular stamp collecting topic. Lerdsuwa 13:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete as a list that is of interest to very few people, i.e. listcruft. Stifle 17:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
