[edit] Sternchat

Delete as spam/advertisement. The article consists of nothing more than promoting the "hilarious" Sternchat.com. I have not checked for notability given the obvious advertising nature of the article, but if the article is drastically altered to remove all POV/promotional material (which would pretty much delete the article anyway) I might consider changing vote Bugturd Talk 00:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merritt Boat & Engine Works

Delete as advertisement/spam. I initially nominated this for speedy, but I retracted it after more content was added. The additional content killed justification for speedy, but its still just an ad. Bugturd Talk 00:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Changing vote to abstain in agreement with unsigned comment below. The article has definitely improved. --Bugturd Talk 01:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Changing vote back to delete since it appears that the article is to be a list as per WP:NOT comments below. --Bugturd Talk 01:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • My response:
  • This is not an ad, they are not selling any thing. The article is about a famous classic manufacturer of sportfishing boats, best known for its work in the 50's and 60's. There are countless articles written about them, entire online discussion forums dedicated to discussing them with thousands of messages posted daily and hundreds of photographs, etc. The article is just getting started, you should not delete this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Angusdavis (talk • contribs) 01:00 31 January 2006.
  • Then you should you make that case in the article by writing an encyclopedia article, instead of (as it appears you are doing) creating a catalog of every boat Merritt has ever built. That level of detail WILL be deleted and condensed by subsequent editors, so you best not invest the time in doing so. For the moment keep -- as long as it doesn't degenerate into list of boatcruft ("The 1963 models, as opposed to the 1962 models, began using mahogany instead of teak for the cabin trim..."). --Calton | Talk 01:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Wikipedia is not a list. If the article turns into a "why Merritt is notable" (as Angusdavis purports it is), then keep. If it stays as a list, delete. --M@thwiz2020 01:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Merritt Boat & Engine Works is a notable boat company. However, the current artical needs to be re-focused on the busness. (Signed: J.Smith) 02:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but rewrite, beacuse right now, it's borderline boatcruft, and a list. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 04:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rewrite. -ryan-d 12:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, send it for cleanup. It's pretty clear that there's some historical interest here; the article needs to be focused on that. -Ikkyu2 17:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment no strong opinion either way on the inclusion of this article, but it needs a rewrite if it stays. As it stands the article is part list and part poorly written history. I'd take a crack at it, but I get sick on boats, so I've just added a cleanup tag.--Isotope23 18:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, BUT get rid of the list of boats, except for those which have some significance. Boats as far as I am aware, are just private possessions like cars. I bet you we couldn't find a single Wikipedia editor who would think that the encyclopaedia should contain a list of all car registration numbers with details of their first owner, even if we could find that information out. At risk of breaching WP:AGF, I have to ask, does the author have a commercial interest in this particular boatyard? How else would they know who bought each boat? Or are boats required to be registered in a public register under U.S. law? If they DO have a commerical connection and there is no such registration requirement, this seems like an unbelievable breach of commerical confidentiality. Rant rant rant. Sorry. SP-KP 20:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep and, there are a number of Yachts which are individually notable out there in the world (due to manufacturer, owner, specific characteristics, history, design example of something, etc). Whether these particular yachts are sufficiently notable or not is an open question, but I suggest letting the article editors work that out over time. Standards will prevail. No reason to delete or apply premature chainsaw effort to the article. Georgewilliamherbert 01:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Data on boat ownership for boats that are or have been federally documented by the USCG is a matter of public record, so there is no confidentiality issue here. I am the author and I am an enthusiast of these boats as are many other folks. Feel free to delete the article or edit it as you see fit. In its defense, I will say that if magazine articles have been written about the history of these boats, tracking down each one, etc., it is silly to say it is not appropriate. For example, if Sinclair had built only 10 computers, would it not be appropriate to document the provenance of those computers, who owned them, how they were used, etc.? Anyway, it was just a quick attempt at an article. I came here after reading about the congressional staffers abusing the system and I decided to try for myself to create my first article by writing about something on which I had some very unique and deep knowledge. I agree the writing is poor and could be improved. The unique contribution I have made here is the research. Do with it what you will. --Angusdavis 01:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • For example, if Sinclair had built only 10 computers, would it not be appropriate to document the provenance of those computers, who owned them, how they were used, etc.? Nope. And you listed 25 boats, none of which seem particularly distinctive for reason of ownership, history, precedence, or technological or design advances; nor as exemplars of any trend in boatbuilding design evolution. What the list and its content (generally) is, to put it bluntly, trivia. (Besides, if Sinclair had built only 10 computers, I doubt they'd get an article here to begin with.)
    • This site is an encyclopedia, a digest of knowledge, acting as an introduction to or overview of subjects. Writers should put in the article what's most important, distinctive, and telling for the layman: "Why are those boats worthy of an article?" is the question that you should be answering in the article, and leave the fine-grained detail for the specialist magazines and coffee-table books. --Calton | Talk 07:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The debate here is about whether the article is to be deleted immediately, never to return. Debate on what the article should or should not contain should be directed to the article's talk page, as it is not relevant here. Ikkyu2 22:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Angusdavis presented his misconceptions regarding what is appropriate as an article period/full stop; I merely corrected them. If this bothers you, make use of that spacebar you can find at the bottom of your keyboard. --Calton | Talk 23:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Revolt of the Masses

Delete as essay. I did not try to read it. I made it to the point where the author states that it is an essay and placed the nom Bugturd Talk 00:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete / transwiki. It seems to be a translation of the essay La rebelión de las masas by José Ortega y Gasset. That is out of copyright, but the translation into english may not be. In any case, it belongs on wikisource, not WP. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 00:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wikisource and delete - who wants to read a (possibly copyrighted) essay in an encyclopedia? And, even if it is original, it falls under WP:NOT - original thought. --M@thwiz2020 01:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia not somewhere where you can write essays. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 03:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Given that the book was written in 1930, it would still be in copyright. However, an article on the book would be useful. Capitalistroadster 04:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • That's according to US copyright law. I doubt the author was American. If he died more than 70 years ago this may still pan out. - Mgm|(talk) 13:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki/Delete. Translation of source material. Transwiki if it's really out of copyright. - Mgm|(talk) 13:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete... when will kids learn to use paragraphs??? Regardless of the copyright issue so at best it should be a transwiki and cleanup, unless someone writes an article about the essay.--Isotope23 18:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Aargh, my eyes hurt. Not sure if it can be transwikied if the copyright position isn't clear. --Cactus.man ✍ 20:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is a copy/vio from this site.[2] Couldn't it be speedied?--Pomegranite 21:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Finale (Everybody Loves Raymond)

Delete. Only episode for Everybody Loves Raymond series with a page; should be merged with List of Everybody Loves Raymond episodes (Seasons 5-9) Kinu 01:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Oops... didn't put 2 and 2 together. This should obviously be a Merge, not an AfD. Rescinding my vote (and AfD nomination, essentially). If an admin would close this and subsequently add the Merge tag, I'd appreciate it. --Kinu 03:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • keep - fast and convenient, a notable search engine
  • Speedy keep - The original site is quite difficult to reach, but the article provided two new websites that are easy to reach. I think the search engine is quite good because it can search Google, MSN and Yahoo at one time. As it is newly developed, I think the article should keep so that more people can know more about this search engine and the ranking in Alexa will boost.
    • Wikipedia isn't to promote new sites and boost rankings. It's to document things that already have a proven track record.

  • Delete pending verifiable information on accreditation and government licensing. I'm not clear on whether this is a real school, or just a collection of homeschooled kids in a church program. More signficant than its status, is the verifiability of status, which doesn't seem to exist yet. The links provided don't mean much. Also, I don't understand why the church web site, say nothing of this. I may well be missing something, so correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll happily switch to keep. The one place I could find a little info was at ACSI (which accredits K-12 Christian schools), but that wasn't helpful, as they're listed as a member, but not accredited. So, now I really have no idea what the status of this school is. --Rob 11:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

    • The problem isn't poor writing, or need of cleanup. Nobody can fix this article without verifiable information. Currently, there's no confirmation this church operates this school, as the church doesn't even mention the school it supposedly founded. It's worth noting that the Seattle Times entry for the school, mentions the church's web site, but gives a dead-link. If we can't tell people if the school is currently open, how can we tell them useful information? --Rob 19:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • The schools website seems current. Based on the size of the staff, the enrolement estimate seems reasonable. Not sure where the (now deleted) reference to $450 tuition comes from, as that was what was making me suspicious; for it is listed as $4,125 to $4,550 on the website. I'm tempted to change my vote. Nfitz 23:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Thanks, that was quite helpful, as I couldn't find it previously. I now, just found confirmation it is a state approved school, with this PDF document from the state.

      • Good point Colin Kimbrell. I notice the article was AfD tagged after two minutes. Maybe the editor would have provided sources if someone asked or used the unreferenced template. Of course, AfD is also a great way to welcome new editors... -- JJay 22:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
        • You should see the first draft - it was borderline attack Nfitz 01:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
          • Seems kind of tame to me and might even be true. The last two lines could have been and were dealt with by editing. -- JJay 01:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
            • Uh, "might be true", doesn't cut it. Verifiably true is the standard. There is something seriously wrong, when somebody makes an unverified statement about an organization, that's not sourced, which could do serious harm to the organizations reputation. Declaring in public an organization has financial problems has a great way of becoming a self-fullfilled prophecy. If somebody decided not to send their kids to a school, or not take a job there, because they read it was closing at Wikipedia, the school would be more than justified in holding us to blame for any such harm. I realize it is a harsh thing to say, but the original version of this article, should never have been written in the form it was, and was of net-negative value to Wikipedia. --Rob 01:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
          • Rob, I know you mean well, but please, try to stay calm for two seconds. See above where I said that editing was the solution. That to me is the better approach as opposed to deleting an article on a school based on a vague unreferenced line on "financial problems". WP:AGF applies to newbies as well, so instead of tagging the article after two minutes, a further option would have been to question the submitting editor. You also need to realize that not everyone has your skills in concocting these school articles. People contribute based on their abilities. Until the wiki completely changes the rules regarding article creation, you are going to have to live with the fact that many articles start as pathetic little stubs that do not meet your lofty standards. That is the nature of the beast. It is a net positive. -- JJay 01:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep ...as per nominator? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the new version. Delete from history the original version that contained a *potentially* defamatory claim about the school. Nothing signficant of the original version was used in the current version, so GFDL attribution requirements shouldn't be an issue. --Rob 05:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with West Seattle or delete. If this is the "much improved" version, I shudder to think of what the original must have looked like (and no, I won't punish myself by looking at the history.) Denni ☯ 01:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Merging (such as with West Seattle) only makes sense if there is some coherent treatment within the merged article (see Evanston, Illinois#Private and parochial schools). Sticking a loosely connected fact in an inappropriate way in another article is a disservice to both articles. -- DS1953 talk 16:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NewsReel (by RGMedia)

This article is about a fledgling news syndication web site. It doesn't look like this site has ever been mentioned in the media, blogs, etc. so I don't think it is ready to have an encyclopedia article yet. No backward links in Google [9], no Alexa rank for news.rgmds.com. [10] Rhobite 02:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep It's a beta, and was taken off the search engines by its owner until testing is complete. The article clearly states it's a beta. Secondly, blogs are not adequate measures for anything as they are owned by individuals who can not possibly view every single news site out there (especially if it has been temporarily taken off search engines), so it makes sence that it would not be mentioned on blogs. Furthermore, NewsReel is a free service and does not promote its owner's company, and gives all article credit to the respective sources. Finally, NewsReel recieves quite a bit of traffic from the public domain (even in its uncomplete state). Howeve, if you wish to delete the article please do not remove any redirects as NewsReel will soon be listed on Google, Yahoo, other search engines, blogs and will be ranked by Alexa. I think that it is too much of a hassle to delete something that will just need to be rewritten in a month or so. This adds another problem as by Wikipedia policy, you cannot re-post a deleted article. This would force others to take more time to reword a perfectly fine article.

Personally I think that the article should remain standing or be temp. removed and allowed be re-posted in its exact entirity when it is seen on other sources. 68.196.163.237 02:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Since Sophomore Conspiracy only makes very limited claims, those claims can be verified simply by looking at the Geocities website.

[edit] David Seaborg

I'm renominating this page for deletion. This is the second nomination; the page was first nominated on January 22, 2006. The result of the debate was keep. The archive of the debate is here.

Why it deserves to be renominated so soon: Many people voted keep out of concern that the nomination was bad faith and a violation of WP:Point. The previous nominator nominated 18 biographies of people in category:atheists for deletion after his own articles on Christians were nominated. I count 8 "keep" votes in the original debate that cited "bad faith nomination" as a reason. Hopefully, this time we can debate the merits of the article.

Why it deserves to be deleted: Besides being the son of a Nobel laureate - hardly an accomplishment - this person hasnt done anything notable. Hes the president of an organization not notable enough to have a wikipedia page. And he has a little more than 400 google hits. Delete--Pierremenard 02:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment: he shook President Johnson's hand once; Ameritrade didnt want to let him bid on google and someone wrote up an article about it; published an academic paper; and gave a speech at an atheist convention.

To delve further into that vein, he's also listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineering, and Who's Who of Emerging Leaders in America.

Well, I confess I am not sure of his importance as an "emerging leader" - you may be right about that. Nevertheless, as far as science in engineering, google scholar records 2 publications, 5 citations which definitely rules out his importance as a scientist/engineer. --Pierremenard 04:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree - I meant only that it rules out his notability as a scientist/engineer. You are right to point out that the google scholar result does not rule out potential notability as something else, i.e. as an environmentalist. --Pierremenard 22:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. The guy's more notable than Googling him makes him out to be, but I don't have time to dig out proof (hence the weak part of my vote). He's a bona fide academic, lectures, writes for environmental journals, and heads up a couple legit non-profits. Ikkyu2 17:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete family relations don't confer notability. His only other claim to fame is the "World Rainforest Foundation", "Greater Lafayette Open Space Fund", et al., which apparently can't meet their fundraising goals. In my opinion, that falls short of notability on simple precedent; Wikipedia does not have articles about other people who have started mre successful charitable organizations (Dan West of Heifers International or William Cunningham of Focus Hope for example).

  • Comment I have nom'd this article for speedy delete as WP:NONSENSE since the author has decided to delete AfD discussion. --Bugturd Talk 03:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Note: This is not nonsense. I am a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the phrase, "Brick Monster" is used in the same way as this article discusses it. While some might consider the post to be stupid, publication must start somewhere. This is why I co-authored the article. If you do not believe that people actually discuss the brick monster, listen to this: over 120 UNC students on the popular website facebook.com believe in the brick monster, according to enrollment in the "groups" section of the page. This, of course, is a minimum number of students, because this is the number of people who clearly know there are groups for people who believe what they do. There could also be other people out there that do believe, but do not know that they are part of a larger group of people.

I agree with nom, after the VfD discussion was deleted.. speedy delete. Jawz 04:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment (again), Facebook has tons of usergroups with hundreds of members. Joining one doesn't mean that they all believe in the same thing; it is like myspace where some people join just for the fun of it or to have a zillion group listings on your profile. While I consider this article to be nonsense, there is always the avenue of trying to include "popular" (yes, this is probably POV dangerous) facebook groups on the Facebook article. My 5 cents. Jawz 04:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

just because Facebook has a popular group doesn't mean the article is notable for its own article on Wiki.

You are correct. A Facebook comment or group may not be justification for the article, but in the same right, Wiki has an article about the Flying Spagetti Monster. Belief in "pastafarianism" has no basis in reality. Does it make it wrong for the author of that article to have posted it. How about Christianity? The religion has basis in fact, in the sense that we know a man existed and was executed by Roman guards. Other than that, there is more faith in it than there is fact. Should we then delete all references to Christianity? How about other religions. When you start drawing lines, they better be concrete and for good reason. I challenge you to find many differences between a belief in a "Brick Monster" and any mainstream religion's belief in a G-d or pantheon of gods. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 52.23.192.126 (talk • contribs) 23:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Thank you for restoring the comments that were deleted. The original AfD Discussion was not deleted by either myself or my co-author, Nidiron. I understand the concern that this page is not valid, but the concern seems based in illogical thought patterns. If people can put articles about religions, spoof religions (i.e. Flying Spagetti Monsterism), or general beliefs, this article should be allowed on precedent. Looking into the situation further, the article clearly states that there are multiple theories behind the idea of the Brick Monster, and one of these ideas is that it is not real. If you have suggestions about changing the entry, I would be happy to take any advice you might be willing to give, discuss it with my co-author, and correct any basic problems. It falls into the "legend or myth" idea, I suppose. I would gladly make comment at the beginning. This would allow people to look up what a "Brick Monster" is, but it would let them know that the actual existance of such a creature is actually under debate. --Mneidich 07:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Not sure about this one. It might not be international notable, but seams to have at least some repercution in the netherlands, a decent google hits, and a nice web page. From WP:BAND: a national concert tour. Cons: band is only 3 years old. Mariano(t/c) 08:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete: Quick search found nothing. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Context: this is the flag of the fictional/proposed Republic of Choson. The article for the Republic of Choson currently redirects, but if you dig into its previous revisions, you find a description of the proposed country. I don't advocate a merge / redirect to North Korea, since this is a flag of its replacement (smile). I'm going to revert the redirect on Republic of Choson, mark it with a fact tag per Buchanan-Hermit's suggestion, and categorize it as a Proposed country. And that page already includes this flag. So this page, specifically for the fictional flag, can be deleted. --Lockley 22:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Devil Makes Three (band)

Doesn't meet the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC. I figured it wasn't quite up to speedying because it claims that it has put out two full-length albums, but a few minutes of research provide no evidence that they are produced by major labels or any notable independent label. —Cleared as filed. 03:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. They have lots of news coverage, like here, here and here. They won a local GoodTimes Best of 2005 award for Best Band. They are quite genre defining and unique. The article should stay. JoeSmack Talk 07:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep well i'm sitting here in a coffee shop in the heart of VT hearing them for the first time--i had to ask who they were. apparently they're notable enough for me which lead me here to find you worrying if they are notable enough for you rather than questioning why you don't have more information about them!! kind of ironic a site which has bypassed the traditional publishing mechanisms is using the same to choose to limit what they allow! no doubt the major labels appreciate your support! as online self publishing grows i guess you'll choose to ignore those who choose that far more enlightened route.
  • Keep per the above.

If the latter, we would need some verifiable evidence that Mark Latham and Anthony Albanese were members rather than merely students in the course to consider a keep.

  • Delete, non-notable vanity biography. An assertion of notability is a statement requiring judgement - simply saying "I am notable because I am a human" would not be an assertion of notability.

[edit] Katherine Kohler

Searched on Google, found nothing on this; seems like a hoax to me, though I may be completely wrong. The closest is Catherine Kohler Riessmann, but this article asserts that the name begins with a K and she married a man with the last name Westley. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not; if it is, I'll withdraw the nom. Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 03:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pearl Aday

  • Delete: Not sure on the applicable standards here but it looks like a case of reflected glory. She's the daughter of Meat Loaf and the wife of Scott Ian but doesn't seem to have done anything notable herself, at least not according to WP:MUSIC. Maybe a merge to Meat Loaf? —Wknight94 (talk) 04:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable biography. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 04:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep She was (is?) a full member of Neverland Express, Meatloaf's group. Being a member of a notable band is criteria for keeping I think? Mind you the article could do with cleaning up. Jcuk 08:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Well, there's no mention of "Neverland Express" anywhere else in Wikipedia, including Meat Loaf. In fact, there's no mention of it on Amazon either. I've seen a few similar articles (relatives of notable people) deleted as hoaxes ---- maybe this is another one? Whatever Neverland Express was, the article says she was a touring member, not necessarily a full member. This is why I nominated - everything sounds very suspicious. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Now I see Neverland Express is Meat Loaf's touring band or something? How notable could it be if I had to find that out on Google instead of Wikipedia? So basically Pearl Aday was a backup singer on the touring band of a guy that hasn't had a hit in a decade?... —Wknight94 (talk) 11:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • You mean you've never had to make an article about a very notable band before? Just because WP doesn't have an article on it doesn't automatically mean it's not notable. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
        • I assume your question is rhetorical - but the answer is no, I haven't. Is there something notable about this band that wouldn't just be in Meat Loaf? Regardless, the question is whether someone who has essentially been a backup singer needs a separate article. If yes then so be it. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
          • My question actually wasn't rhetorical, but it probably should have been, given the amount of deletions you've been putting up the last few days. Just because it isn't on WP doesn't mean it's not notable, and I think this should stay, regardless. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 15:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Eusebeus 17:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Um, the bottom of the article admits its taken from her website. I think that makes it speediable as a copyvio, does it not? -R. fiend 17:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I thought the same but it didn't look like the given URL was the same as the article. Maybe that note just means the web site is a reference? Or maybe it's a copyvio of some other page underneath that URL. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • You have to go to the "biography" section of that page: [19]. Looks indentical to me. -R. fiend 17:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Regardless, if it is or not, I've cleaned it up somewhat and added wikilinks. It still needs some referencing regarding what albums she's been featured on, I'll try to get to it. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 17:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
          • Isn't copyvio in the edit history still an issue? Anyway, my vote is delete regardless. It's still a vanity piece, referenced only from her own site, which is not a good source. Not convinced singing backup on a couple albums is any more notable than playing 3rd violin some recording of Beethoven's 4th symphony that you'd find in a bargain barrel at music store. Perhaps recreate as a redirect to Neverland Express, if/when that gets an article. -R. fiend 18:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
            • I'm sure it can be dealt with without deleting the entire article. Also, there's an interview with her and Meat Loaf available from the UK Times here [20] that helps further establish notability. A little bit of googling goes a long way. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 18:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: One simple test I have regarding reflected glory is, "would this person have an article if they weren't related to X"? I'd think the answer would be "no" in this case - but I could be wrong. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • After doing some research, it's a certain maybe, and that's without mentioning a sort of precedent regarding children of famous people. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 18:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • The answer has definitely been maybe as far as my Afd track record goes with such scenarios. Louis Osbourne was an article about Ozzy's son who had at least done some DJ'ing at clubs and was in a documentary about children of rock stars. His article is gone - merged into Ozzy's as a section (and I see has since been removed altogether). Eduard Einstein was the son of Albert and his only notability was being a schizophrenic who spent most of his life in institutions. His useless article remains - mostly on the basis that his name appears in www.schizophrenia.com. Those two establish no pattern whatsoever. —Wknight94 (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Has appeared on a number of Meatloaf albums according to her Allmusic.com article see [21]. The London Times article further establishes verifiability. As to notability, we have kept backing musicians with a reasonable record of credits on significant records. She appears to qualify on this count. Capitalistroadster 22:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Either Merge into Meat Loaf or Delete as non-notable. If we have to go through this much navel-gazing to decide if she's notable, then she's not. --Aaron 23:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - esp. since the page mentions a forthcoming solo album. She also performed a duet on Couldn't Have Said It Better, rather than merely a backing singer. This is someone who's appeared in a notable role on an album with a worldwide release, not someone from a student band with homemade CDs. The Meat Loaf article is too big for a merge. The JPS 01:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: "Forthcoming album" argument is a little flimsy. It certainly wouldn't be the first planned album that never materialized. And the Meat Loaf article isn't even giving a length warning message so I think it would merge fine. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
      • If her forthcoming album was her only point of notability, then you might have a point. She has a fairly solid resume. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 03:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
      • There's far worse things on wikipedia. Human judgement is sufficient for the length of the ML article. Take away the "Forthcoming album" and she's still notable. How many non-notable people have fan sites? The JPS 02:33, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Lots of good points here. I'm just saying an alleged forthcoming album isn't one of them. And neither is the Meat Loaf article supposedly being too big for a merge. As for other arguments thusfar, I still don't see much notable outside of Meat Loaf - but so be it. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Capitalroadster as notable. Turnstep 02:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Based on the article she's done a lot of good work. Absolutely no merge- this woman stands on her own. -- JJay 01:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

But yes, this news story is definitely notable around these parts -- one of the most famous Vancouver hate-crimes in recent history. Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 20:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge On second thoughts, Keep, cleanup and expand. Worthy also of a mention in Violence against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered.

  • Keep I echo all the comments by Cactus.man above. --Dogbreathcanada 21:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep -- as someone with experience on both sides of the news media, it bugs me how "local man killed" gets two column inches while far less notable events get features. An encyclopedia is the place for this. It's the sort of thing that someone, in some unknown future, will want to remember and research as relevant to our time. Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 21:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - do we have any kind of guidelines on inclusion for articles on criminals and/or their victims? Peyna 23:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Not that I know of. My own rule of thumb is that if someone's murder results in riots, national outrage, triggers a civil war, or the passage of legislation to keep it from ever happening again (such as Amber Hagerman), then the victim certainly rates an article. Crypticfirefly 06:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable. Nominator should remember that notability is how notable /the world/ finds a topic, not whether or not we feel it deserves an article. If the hundreds of people who get murdered each day got as many google hits and discusion as this person, then, yes, they would all 'deserve' a Wikpedia page. Turnstep 03:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I see that at the time this story got quite a lot of coverage (e.g. Chicago Tribune-- not even in the same country-- had an article of decent length on the incident), some 1,500 showed up for a vigil/demonstration, etc. Crypticfirefly 06:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong keep per Cactus.man. Ardenn 07:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Needs some rewriting, for sure, but definitely keepable. This was national news in Canada, even got some news attention in the United States per Crypticfirefly, and a much more thoroughly encyclopedic article is very possible. I didn't even have to read the article to remember this — one look at the article title and I knew exactly who and what it was. Any chance I could conscript a Canuck and/or queer contingent into a little group project to get this one up to snuff? Bearcat 10:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, but if moved to Wikisource, the explanation of which translation this is would be useful for that very reason. That's what I thought you meant by the "top portion." Crypticfirefly 06:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Ok just some confusion on what I was trying to say, we're saying the same thing. --Stbalbach 15:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Since they are both PD it is alright as long the person who combined them released their work under GDFL.

True origin of the word "noid", a word I know only from a pizza commercial. I really can't make heads or tails of it, but in any case it looks like original research. Delete. bikeable (talk) 06:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, the Noid is from Domino's Pizza. Over 600,000 hits w/Google, so it is somewhat notable. I don't know if it deserves its own article, but it should be deleted and merged into Domino's Pizza. Jawz 06:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

There are lots of articles about porn stars, and B Bradley is more notable thatn many of them. He has appeared in at least four porn films produced by major porn studios (Falcon is the biggest studio in gay porn). This article has a photo of the subject, and is properly categorized and linked to other articles. Zeromacnoo 03:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - agree with Zeromacnoo. Jonathunder 04:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn. We routinely delete female porn stars who have appeared in many more movies on well known labels. --kingboyk 04:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
    • But why? Isn't the aim of Wikipedia to expand? Are those creating content able to keep ahead of those deleting content? Of course, the best way to scare off contributors is to delete thier work. Zeromacnoo 04:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I shall Abstain. I don't know anything about gay porn and was basing my reasoning on appearances in 4 films, in an industry which churns out films on a daily basis. Others say he is famous in his sector so I shall defer to them. --kingboyk 19:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep -- If this one goes there are hundreds of actors, Star Trek characters, etc... that should go with it for the same reason. It appears not to be vanity, and he is as notable as the multitudes of semi-notables that make it into Wikipedia. The problem with setting a high bar for notability is that this remove people who later become famous, remove information that a few users might be looking for, etc... The only problem with setting the bar low is that the article takes up a few electrons on a hard drive. -- Samuel Wantman 07:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, notable enough as per WP:BIO for living people. Hall Monitor 21:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, I really think it should be replaced with the much more famous Benjamin Bradley (http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/biographies_science/bradley/) A black slave who in the 1850s invented the steam engines for warships. He used the money he made from selling the patent of the engine to buy his freedom. But then again, I'm new to the Wikipedia community and don't know all the protocols yet. Ciperl 23:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Deleting an article to replace it with one of the same name is not a Wikipedia protocol. The Wikipedia protocal is to give one article (the one for the less famous person) a disambiguated name, e.g. "Benjamin Bradley (porn star)" or "Benjamin Bradley (inventor)", and put a note at the top of the main article directed readers to the disambiguated article. Alternatively, both articles can have diambiguated titles, and the main "Benjamin Bradley" article would consist only of links to the other two articles with a little text to help the reader find the right article. Ground Zero | t 00:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree, it would make more sense to move this page to "Benjamin Bradley (porn star)", as soon as the inventor pages is ready. -- ProveIt (talk) 02:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Okay, I will work on the Benjamin Bradley, inventor of steam engines for ships, article and then maybe someone can help me learn how to put it up and create the disambiguated titles. Ciperl 17:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't think that we can move the current article while there is a vote for deletion underway. It will probably have to wait until the vote is complete. If the article survives, it can be moved. In the meantime, Ciperl can start his/her article by clicking here: Benjamin Bradley (inventor). Don't forget to add the article to a category or two, e.g., Category:Inventors and Category:Slaves by placing [[Category:Inventors]] and [[Category:Slaves]] at the bottom of the article. Zeromacnoo 17:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Sure you can move it. Just make sure you update the AFD tag so that the link to the deletion discussion still points here. --kingboyk 04:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Valid speedy, I would say, pretty much all amateur football clubs play in leagues, most of which are utterly non-notable (I would say regular television coverage of the league would be a minimum for notability).

    • Just tag it is a copyvio. Blank the article, and replace it with {{copyvio|url= ADD THE WEBSITE HERE}}. That will expand to a tag which gives you instructions for adding an entry at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Then just say at the AFD that it has been tagged. Two things can then happen when the AFD closes:
      1. If there was a consensus to delete anyway, it will be deleted through AFD.
      2. If there is not a consensus to delete, the article will stay until the copyright process runs its course, giving the contributor a chance to explain (perhaps the contributor owns the copyright). Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

A good nomination should better resemble an argument and not so much a vote. Instead of simply declaring "non notable", you might like to consider explaining why the subject of the article is non-notable. Other points you might like to touch on are quality and size of the article, its connectedness within Wikipedia, the amount of Google activity surrounding the subject, and so on. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chugging

Article is a description of a slang word with no sources. -- Kjkolb 09:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

It's a hoax. "Chug" as a word does exist, but in my experience it refers to skolling a drink, not "deviant sexual practices". Meanwhile, according to Google, there are a variety of other meanings for "chugging", including begging for money, sickness, or even the sound of an engine (remember trains "chugging" along?). An article could be written here, but we're better off just scrapping this one and starting afresh. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 09:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gazeebow Unit

This article was nominated before. It's been listed on Wikipedia:Deletion review. This Newfoundland rap group has attracted national interest and appeared on a flagship arts program of Canadian national radio, This fact was noted by the person voting keep on the original AfD but seems to have been disregarded, which in my opinion was probably an error.

I think it may well be a good idea to arrive at a consensus on this. I'll note that, while I'm unsure about how Wikpiedians will react to this kind of content, I think it may well be worthy of an article. Since there are some people who seem to want it to be deleted without a proper discussion in this forum, I thought I'd like to make sure that it gets a chance, --Tony Sidaway|Talk 10:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep seems notable enough due to the description and they are real.

Tagged for speedy as "Non-existent gang", but not a candidate, especially when BlankVerse on the article's talkpage has a link claiming its existence. So it will be a question of notability or the reliability of the source. No vote. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete the source does seem to suggest that a gang calling itself "Crazy Brothers Clan" did exist somewhere, sometime, somehow. But it's unlikely to be the same one, as this one claims to be based in Long Beach, while the one in the source is in conflict with the "Tiny Rascals", who according to this are based in New England. Unless their conflict consists of launching ICBMs at each other, it's unlikely the gangs in the source and the article are one and the same. All other info is unverified and likely unverifiable.

  • Delete Vanity, not notable. Uucp 11:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Please consider writing a nomination rather than just jumping in with your "vote". Wikipedia is not a democracy, and being able to throw up a bolded delete is not nearly so valuable as clearly and concisely, preferably with reference to policy, explaining why you think an article should be deleted. For instance, your vote here (which should have been a reason for deletion instead) mentions notability and vanity. Why not explain why the subject is non-notable? Why you believe the article to be vanity? And so on. A good argument for deletion is worth half a dozen votes any day. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 13:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad to play ball and elaborate on this, but is seems that explaining the non-notability of somebody who has never done anything of significance is akin to proving a negative. What do you want me to say? He's a writer whose byline appears in no magazines in ProQuest, or on any books in Amazon.com. He's an actor who has never been in any movie. He participated in a small town improv group for a couple of years. I feel as though I'm just re-typing the bio here -- he hasn't done anything noteworthy. Uucp 15:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Perhaps a good choice for merging into Cabaret Dada, or, alternatively, just straight out deleted. The article also references Save Toby, which I note is also up for AfD (although it calls it a "book"). fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 13:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I think vanity and not notable are clear and concise in themselves (did you see the article?). The Deviant 14:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You, presumably experienced with the ways of AfD, I, presumably experienced with the ways of AfD, and Uucp, who will soon be experienced with the ways of AfD to the point where he nominates instead of votes, may know enough to interpret "vanity". Not everyone who comes across an AfD subpage will; some of them will be the author or subject of an article, and might take exception. Also, "non-notable" these days means nothing more than "I want the article deleted"; nearly everything that comes up before AfD, pass or fail, is "non-notable". An explanation is far better than a vote. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] January 28, 2006

Non-standard day page - I might have just redirected it to January 28, but it's best to not encourage linking to dates like this (as it bypasses people's date display preferences). — sjorford (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hold on a second - investigating further..........................

Okay, I just noticed the "This date in recent years" section on the existing day pages, which links to January 28, 2006, January 28, 2005, January 28, 2004, and January 28, 2003. I hadn't noticed this before. Is it a Good Thing? Is it just intended for inclusion on the Current Events pages? Please help unconfuse me... — sjorford (talk) 11:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Furtherness: list of links to similar pages here. — sjorford (talk) 12:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, bypasses preferences. We have a standard in the manual of style about dates. Anything that links to pages like this should be linked to the date without a specific eyar attached. - Mgm|(talk) 14:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I've put a list of all such pages I can find on my Playpen - in particular, there seem to be a lot of pages included as templates on monthly pages for the first six months of 2003, 2004 and 2005. Is there some sort of organised project that's creating these pages? I'm tempted to withdraw this AFD until more is known. — sjorford (talk) 17:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • As was discussed the last time this came up, the developers (specifically at the time, Tim Starling I believe) said it was trivial to adapt the MediaWiki logic so that prefences are respected for this date types too. I am actually kind of surprised that it hasn't been turned on yet :(. Even so I think the single date pages are a great idea Keep :-). Pcb21 Pete 20:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • NB at that time I wrote User:Pcb21/Date FAQ. It attempts to explain why the current method of linking is next to useless, and why the single date method is much better (but perhaps not perfect). Please do ask questions if there is anything not clear there, as it was typed in rather a hurry. Pcb21 Pete 14:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Thanks, that's good info...okay, so what do we do about this page, and also January 24, 2006, January 25, 2006, and January 26, 2006 which have all been blanked? If they're going to be part of your new system, fine, but at the moment, these four are kind of a dead end, and aren't included in the January 2006 page. — sjorford (talk) 23:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
          • Yes I think it would be fine to delete just these four for the time being to keep things "clean". When the time comes, they can always be re-created. Pcb21 Pete 08:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I am against such a recentism and detailism. This is not newspaper. Such "articles" would only encourage people to add non-encyclopedic stuff. Pavel Vozenilek 22:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Note this stuff has been part of Wikipedia from the beginning - the only question is to lay it out in a big gloop (as a single month), or more finely grained (single day). Most people regard up-to-date coverage ("recentism") and plentiful detail as two of Wikipedia's strengths, btw. Pcb21 Pete 01:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Save Toby

  • Delete Website for a man who pretends he will eat his pet rabbit seems to exist primarily to drive Internet discussion. Succeeded in getting a listing in Snopes describing it as a hoax. Alexa says rank 90,757. Google says 70,900, many of which are promotional pages created by the SaveToby folks (such as CafePress pages selling their merchandise, any many blog posting pimping the page). Never achieved meme status. I don't see why Wikipedia should be part of the failed promotional efforts for this not notable website. Uucp 11:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete According to the Snopes article, it's just a hoax, and not a particularly interesting or famous one either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep... absent any solid criteria for what constitutes a notable Internet meme, or any chance of having any, I have to resort to "well I've heard of it". At least we've got a reliable source in Snopes. --Malthusian (talk) 12:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Andrew Lenahan. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 13:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Malthusian — I've heard of it too, and when I've asked people about it they've heard of it, and because of Snopes, the hoax itself is verifiable. —Cleared as filed. 13:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Little is known verifiably, and there's no proof the stunt had a great impact on anything. If an article has to constantly say "the website claims...", then you know something is wrong. If all the details were to become know, than the question is: so what? --Rob 13:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Snopes mention plus Alexa rating = notability, regardless of what one thinks of the site itself. Turnstep 14:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. MSNBC article. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-31 14:35Z

I can't quickly google any usage of "European Federation" as it is used in this article, strongly suggesting that it is original research.

  • Merge with United States of Europe (a much better article) under the name Federal Europe. This is because a Federal Europe is an oft-discussed political concept; but United States of Europe or European Federation seem like hypothetical proper names for a much more specific imaginary entity, so I think the article should have the more general name.

    • This isn't a vote, just a comment: If you people want to merge it to something, merge it to an article called European federalism, which is afterall an existing ideology, while both "Federal Europe", "European Federation" or whatever, are mere hypothetical guesswork names describing the end-product. Aris Katsaris 16:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I wasn't thinking of "Federal Europe" being a possible name of the end product. United States of Europe or Republic of Europe are both possible names for the single speculated entity that is a (small-f) federal Europe; European federalism isn't. Robin Johnson 11:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge with United States of Europe under a more general name.

Robin Johnson 15:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The reason I prefer European federalism is that its an idea rather than an actual thing which Federal Europe would imply. There is a destinct diference between federalism and intergration, federalism being one particular type of intergration. --Salix alba (talk) 16:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I need a bit of time to collect some more material (see latest changes). I would like to deal with the problems of investigators starting their careers as independent researchers in a very competitive environment with limited funding. The NIH graph is quite worrying.

  • Keep. It seems that Chloe's song Crash charted in Australia last year - I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio although not who it was from. For those of similar vintage to myself, it is a cover of The Primitives song from the 1980s. According to her site, the album is due for release in Australia early this year. While some might consider an article on this premature, the fact that she has enjoyed chart success with "Crash" going top 10 justifies an article for mine.

  • Keep. He's an influential Malaysian blogger. See Technocrati [34]. Try even Google [35]. And take a look at Reporters beyond Borders [36]. He might not be known worldwide but that's because the blog covers mainly Malaysian related stuff and majority of its readers are Malaysians.

[37] [38] [39] He's undeniably the most influential person in the Malaysian blogosphere. Seems a bit disturbing to me that you nominated an article for deletion based on a personal opinion and without doing an in depth search first. No offence intended though. --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 12:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I did do an in-depth search, but couldn't find these BBC articles which you refer to now. All information which I had found didn't seem to make him meet the notability-guidelines.

I'm not sure that this artist meets the criteria for inclusion of biographies.

[edit] Emergalv

  • Delete Non-notable game(?). 0 hits on google. Adverticement(?). ManiacK 17:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Latinus 19:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep

As the author of this entire article, I would like to understand why my article is considered unfit for Wikipedia. I have read the Deletion guide and found no fault my article may have to warrant deletion. I first wish to express my understanding that Wikipedia is a wide-ranging service meant to contain a wealth of information about the widest array of respectable topics possible. I have written this article bearing in mind the rules of Wikipedia. For several reasons, I believe my article has a place on Wikipedia.

Arguments

  1. I object to the claim of non-notable game(?). To this I answer: In the Related Links section I have supplied sufficient proof of the existance of the topic on which I chose to write an article. Furthermore, though Emergalv is not a commercial product, it has nonetheless been playtested using the Dungeons and Dragons system. As such, it can be first defined as a game, and secondly can be described as a valid campaign setting available for testing to whoever asks.
  2. I also object to the claim of advertisement. I have chosen to share my intellectual property on Wikipedia by presenting objective content and clear, intelligible definitions of the world I have written about. This is not a vanity article, though credit must be given to the people who have worked on Emergalv, including myself. Emergalv is not a product to be sold, just as Wikipedia is not to be used as a platform for advertisement.

Should it be found that I cannot provide satisfying answers to the claims leading to the deletion of this article, I will radpidly withdraw without complaint.

Now I ask this : Does deletion include the possibility of establishing a wiki site outside of Wikipedia? I cite in example the Homestar Runner Wiki and the UFOPaedia site. If my article is to be removed from Wikipedia, I would like to learn the procedure to creating an outside Wiki site.

  • Delete, but there's always Wikicities. It's not directly connected with Wikipedia but I believe it uses the same software. That said, if they don't take you they have links to other Wiki providers. Haikupoet 02:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I am going to see the the decision we take here before making a complete move (or not), but I have already set myself up a mirror of this article on RPG Wikicities. Thanks for the idea, however :D AvianSavara 03:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Good luck with that. The problem is that a lot of people come in here thinking Wikipedia is something it's WP:NOT and get into big arguments over it. A lot of misunderstandings happen over that issue that boil over into accusations of censorship and other assorted nastiness. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you have much to contribute in other areas. Haikupoet 03:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • You can count on my participation on other topics. Whatever the outcome of this debate, I will continue to read and edit Wikipedia. Amidst all the (let's face it)trash that can be found online, I believe Wikipedia is the best thing to ever happen on the internet. AvianSavara 04:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nikola Šećeroski

Either nn bio or a hoax. 42 unique ghits, none of which are in English. Delete Makemi 17:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. He's for real, so much seems certain - I don't know any Serbocroatian, but this biography page [42] seems to confirm pretty much the same things as the article says. "rođen je 1934. u selu Radožda, na obali Ohridskog jezera." = 'Born in 1934, in the village of Radožda, near Lake Ohrid'; "za predsednika Srbije kandidovao se 1990." = 'In 1990 he ran for Serbian president', etc. And if he ran for president, and got 12.236 votes (if I guess correctly what the page is saying), then he is hardly non-notable. Lack of English-language info is no ground for deletion. We can always ask Serbian Wikipedians (Category:User sr) to verify these sources for us. Lukas (T.|@) 18:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment if this were true I would expect to find some mention in the AP archives, and I haven't. I wonder if this person has an anglicized name which is used in sources? As it is, references only in Serbocroation seem a lot like non-verifiable info to me. Makemi 19:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Why? Is there anything inherent in the language that makes it less reliable than English? :-) Seriously, that seems a rather dangerous statement to me, and not at all compatible with Wikipedia policies against Anglo-Saxon bias. This guy seems to be an - admittedly minor - figure on the national political stage, probably regarded more as a clown than as a serious player. Why would foreign media want to report on him? I don't remember the 1990 elections, but probably foreign attention was then focussed on other things, wouldn't it? Lukas (T.|@) 20:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Lukas Jcuk 19:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • The New Order of Druids is a website with Alexa rank near 194000. No assertion is made, and no indication is given that the folks who run it command any respect or have otherwise been noted in the Neopagan community. Pilatus 18:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Alexa rank, no evidence of media mentions, no books about them, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • keep This article is not in violation with Wikipedia policy. Notable organisation New Order of Druids. Is mentioned in "The Solitary Druid: Walking the Path of Wisdom and Spirit" by Rev. Robert Lee (Skip) Ellison (Archdruid-Ar nDraiocht Fein (ADF)) page 245. This was in the talk page, you could have read this yourself if you had done your homework. Vorak 19:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment One mention on a single page of one book? That seems awfully thin. If "The Solitary Druid" is considered to be a major defining work on Neopaganism, that might establish notability, but given that the book doesn't have a page of its own, that seems unlikely. Vanigo 20:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I agree that that is very thin, but do not agree that a book used to establish notability should have a Wikipedia entry. It would help if we knew what the book actually says (for example, that information could be in the article). Kusma (討論) 18:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
        • That's not exactly what I meant. If there was an entire chapter devoted to the organization in a not-particularly-notable book, that'd establish notability, or if there was even a single sentence in an extremely important book, that'd do it, but a single reference in a book of questionable importance? That's two strikes and you're out, IMHO. Vanigo 22:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
          • I completely agree with that. I had justed wanted to point out that the absence of a Wikipedia article does not mean a book (or anything else) is not important / authoritative. Kusma (討論) 22:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment I'm not surprised to see that the same thing happens here as has happened to almost every other article I ever contributed to Wikipedia... whatever valid proof or argument is given is waved away or minimized in order to get the article deleted at any cost. Well I can tell you already that it has been the very last time I have ever contributed to Wikipedia, and I won't be the only one leaving. By the time you people are done deleting everything, Wikipedia will only consist of your own User article pages, hope you'll have fun with them. I really can't waste my time and energy on this stuff any more, I have actual important things to do. Vorak 20:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

      • Ergh, turns out I have a different book by Skip. I'll check and see if any of my friends have it. -- nae'blis (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless importance in the neopaganism community can be shown (disregard my vote if I forget to change it in that case). As a website, it clearly fails to be notable enough. Kusma (討論) 23:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not seeing anything indicating any actual impact -- however small -- on the world and plenty of puffery. And Gad, that "Overview" sounds like it was translated from the Japanese. --Calton | Talk 07:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep References? That's a good one, as if any reference whatsoever would be taken serious. The reference of the book, for example, is waved off just because the book has no article on Wikipedia. Why do you think that is? Because either you already deleted it, or because you would end up deleting it anyway so people stop bothering to contribute. Aside from the book, The Druid Network (TDN), Eadhadh and ADF find NOD or its sub-organisations important enough to give it a webpage of its own. Or it could be mentioned that NOD was founded on the same day as TDN, already has set up one local grove and is in the process of setting up more local groves in Europe and North America, or that it currently has over 600 members, and offers a free online Druid college that currently contains over 250 students worldwide (NOD and its Grove of Dana college is one of the very few Druid organisations in the world that offer teaching online and believe it should not come at any monetary cost!). But of course, all this will be regarded as is predictable, and I could go and work on an actual list of references, but honestly, why would I? Just to see it being trashed? No, thanks. It's not taken serious anyway, whatever any contra-delete vote comes up with, and you will keep digging until you find another reason to get an article deleted. If Alexa ranking won't give you a reason, you'll keep looking until you find another reason. Oh and nice template on top of this page, you might as well just say that any "keep" votes whatsoever will be disregarded anyway and that the nomination for deletion is just a formality because it's already a decided cause from the start (as it always is). Of course, it's easy to gather some Wikipedia members and get them to vote delete as well, but when people do the same to obtain keep votes, it's suddenly a disgrace. Sorry, but I really won't play along those games any more, and I'm sure that others feel the same way. By the way for your information, we did contribute other articles too, such as Merlin's Oak and the English translation for Gwenc’hlan Le Scouëzec by Vorak, but of course it all doesn't matter. If you want to delete this article, so be it, I won't be around to put it back up anyway, but Wikipedia's loss is our gain. Wikipedia will only decrease in number of articles (and as a result, degrade in quality) and let other wiki sites grow larger instead. So, keep up the good work! Aneirin 13:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, knowing how many members you have (from the website it was difficult to tell if there were 60 or 600) is helpful. However how many of those 600 are defined from mailing lists? WP:WEB likes to have online organizations written about by others, and to have a large member base for forum-type sites. If it was 600 local/active folks, it'd be easier to verify your importance. Honestly, the fact that most of your copy comes straight from N.O.D.'s website or members makes people all the more suspect of the actual importance. As I said, I'm checking on the Solitary Druid reference; however I could find no mention on ADF's website of your organization, as you claimed: [43].

  • Delete or prune to stub. I checked with Skip himself, and the original submission for the book, or close to it, can be found here (site is framed, main page is here). The material was sent in by David Dom and edited "all of them to drop down to just a paragraph or two". I get the impression therefore that this was part of the laundry list of groups at the end of the book, and as it was submitted by the founder, it suffers the same circular-verifiability problems as anything off of the N.O.D. website or The Druid Network. Until this group achieves success outside their own circles, I can't see us having a page on them, especially ad copy. I would be willing to help them prune out things that can't be verified from outside the group, but I fear they won't like the result. -- nae'blis (talk) 14:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Schaller

Schaller was allegedly responsible for raising $8 million for the Thune campaign against Tom Daschle, but a cursory Google shows no notability, and I don't believe this in itself makes Schaller notable. Delete. Andy Saunders 19:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Sure he warrants a mention on Thune's page, but everything else here is nn. -Jcbarr 20:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Andy Saunders' google search was inaccurate. If you google Schaller and Thune, the 2nd posting is from an article which references Schaller's involvement in Thunes historic victory. From the February 2005 edition of Campaigns and Elections Magazine, ""John Schaller has been promoted to vice president of political services at The Lukens Company after five years with the company. John has been a leader in the expansion we've had. This promotion is a testament to the significant contribution he's already made," LTC president Walter Lukens said. In his new position, Schaller manages the 13 people on the political staff, Lukens said. As political director in 2004, Schaller ran the direct mail fundraising for U.S. Sen. John Thune's campaign, which raised more than $8 million in less than eight months." I think this is evidence enough to KEEP Schaller on Wikipedia. -Seinfeld01
    • A search on Google for ' "John Schaller" Thune' reveals no hits whatsoever. --Andy Saunders 22:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, I'm just doing the nominating because I personally do not feel he is notable enough for inclusion on his own. If the rest of the community agrees with me, they will suggest it be deleted. If they think I'm a crazy man for thinking so, they will suggest it be kept. Check out Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. --Andy Saunders 22:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Specifically Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#People_still_alive is the relevant policy. -Jcbarr 22:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You need to check your internet connection. If you google "Schaller Thune" articles from Campaigns & Elections will come up. Shame on you for trying to discredit a notable achievement with symantics. --Seinfeld01 22:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, it is unfair for "James Barrett" to have any form of nomination ability since his bio clearly states he worked for John Edwards and John Kerry. His bio is a who's who of left wing, liberal viewpoints and his opinion is merely a partisan smear tactic against someone who helped a Republican candidate for office. --Seinfeld01 22:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle metal

Made up musical genre. This supposed 'genre' is a neoglism of bands from both the Power Metal, Black Metal and Death Metal genre. It draws no distinction between the bands, except to state that several bands from the genres all use themes akin to war, which is already stated in all three articles Here, Here, and Here. A scene doesnt exist for this supposed genre either, and the term is not in wide spread use. The only band that refers to themselfs this way is Bal-Sagoth, and that is in open mockery of the term.

[edit] 8-Bit Memories

[edit] Reasons to Keep

  • Keep as is. Comment Podcast notability methods need discussion. Not knowing how to assert notability is not reason enough for deletion on any topic. There is a hostile attitude on wikipedia towards all things radio, internet radio, and podcasting mostly due to a lack of knowledge on the subjects. I would think in general, if external sources (other than the website for the podcast) can be cited, then the articles should stay until some other way to judge notability is determined for topics in these categories. Randomgenius 04:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral comment I think there is a bare consensus that licensed radio stations should be kept, though it isn't universally accepted. When you get into media like internet radio and podcasting, though, you have several problems. First off, they're DIY media, which inherently is going to generate a large quantity of garbage and a few gems (much like, say, garage bands, which are wikied and deleted by the legion every day). Second, there's no easy way to measure such things -- there are no sites that measure podcast or webcast popularity to any reasonable degree of certainty (though Yahoo Podcast is helpful in that regard). Likewise with Internet radio -- you could probably make a decent case for anything included in the iTunes radio tuner, but beyond that, how many stations are there on Shoutcast that have no listeners at all, ever? Ultimately I agree with you, and I'm sure others would as well -- there does need to be a discussion on the issue. But what you percieve as prejudice is AfD voters saying "Oh, no. Someone else's pet project. Make it stop..." Haikupoet 04:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

    • Thanks Perfecto. I did actually start working on an internet radio project under my user page for now. I don't know if it should be moved into a real wikipedia project yet tho. It could be modified slightly to include podcasting as well. Either way, the discussion needs to happen somewhere.

[edit] Post-scarcity economics

now redirected

This is a neologism. Google shows only 60 distinct hits. Apparently it is a phrase uttered by Cory Doctorow. From an economic perspective, this phrase is sheer nonsense (I'm an econ prof), and it is certainly not used in the profession. The article lists a few examples of near-zero marginal cost of production, an important and well-studied economic phenomenon. However, a techno-hipster neologism of no widespread use is not the place for a discussion of those issues. Also, this content is not a useful basis for such an article, it's just a couple of examples. Should this be deleted, I would be willing to write a proper economic article on this issue. (I usually avoid writing economics articles, because that's what I call work.) I have contacted the original author asking for some evidence that this term is notable, but received no reply. Derex 23:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment I am reasonably certain the phrase predates his usage. Post scarcity is used in my 1995 Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. Although as I see post-scarcity comes out blue this can be deleted after all or possibly merged.--T. Anthony 00:00, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, a redirect to that works for me, as it is quite clear about the sci-fi context. What worried me was seeing wikipedia used as a platform to spread this nonsense as a term about our actual economy (as it was written). I'll just redirect then, as the objection was mine, and that's a perfectly reasonable resolution. Derex 01:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
It's certainly not a neologism; I heard the term as far back as 1971. It apparently fell out of fashion after the mid-70s oil shocks demonstrated that we weren't headed for a post-scarcity economy anytime soon. But it certainly was influential in some circles; one guy who believed in, talked about, and apparently acted on the concept was Mitch Kapor. Monicasdude 01:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, Kapor got mighty rich off something that wasn't scarce; wish I could figure out how to do that (economist joke about defn of scarcity). He wasn't the first either, guys like Ernest Hemingway and William Shakespeare did the same thing a long time before. Anyway, I didn't say the term "post scarcity" was a neologism, because I didn't look it up. "Post-scarcity economics" is, or at least it's a oldogism that hasn't been used in a long time per google. My point is that this is certainly not a branch, school, or tradition of economics as a science. It's fine as a sci-fi term. It may even be a notable "popular economics" term, though google thinks otherwise. If someone can properly source this article as being of some notability, I'll concede. I don't want to sound high-handed or snotty here, but frankly this is the sort of junk article that makes experts doubt the credibility of wikipedia; it made me cringe anyway. Derex 01:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure I'd say it's purely "sci-fi", but it is by definition highly speculative. There's no solid reason to think we'll reach a point where scarcity of all kinds will vanish.--T. Anthony 03:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

  • It appears that the page was created, essentialy whole, by an IP address that's never edited any other entries. That IP resolves to a cable modem in Mass., consistent with the subject's location. Looks to be a vanity page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.219.7.202 (talk • contribs) .

  • Speedy keep, author of 7 books, amazon.com gives 23 results for Peter S. Cohan, first page of google results for the name gives an article in Washington Times written about him, 5 hits on google news. Also, nominator's first edit and seemingly a bad-faith nomination, since the whole article doesn't even mention the person having a blog. - Bobet 02:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Note that vast majority of 23 Amazon results are not actually related to Peter S. Cohan. This guy has writen a few books, but this is clearly a vanity page.--24.34.78.114 03:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • This is not a speedy keep. A speedy keep can only happen if there are no other votes to delete and (the nominator withdraws or the nomination was in bad faith or disruptive, or the nomination was in violation of WP:POINT). Please choose another vote. Stifle 16:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Please re-read my comment, I said I believe the nomination to be in bad faith, since the only evidence given to support deletion by the original nominator is the ranking of a blog, that the article doesn't even mention. - Bobet 16:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I'm aware of that, and I suspect the nomination was in bad faith myself. However, the policy also requires that there have been no votes to delete other than the nominator. Stifle 17:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
