[edit] Prospectus (university)

This was nominated with {{prod}} by another user. I don't agree with it, and feel that afd is more appropriate. --Aude (talk contribs) 03:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep. I came across Prospectus in April, when working on Mutual fund and related articles. Such business-topic articles are poorly represented in Wikipedia. Prospectus (a legal/financial document issued by mutual funds, or is filed with the SEC by individual companies) was lumped together in the same article with school prospectus (sent to prospective university students). The latter was unfamiliar to me, as an American. However, I did a google search on "prospectus" and found it was a common term used, particularly in Europe. So, I split the two uses of "prospectus" into separate articles and created a disambiguation page. I don't know a lot about prospectus (university) but think it should be kept, to explain this use of the term as opposed to the financial/legal term. --Aude (talk contribs) 03:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Just to add, a Google search of "prospectus + mutual fund" returns 2,850,000 results, while a search of "prospectus + university" returns 27,500,000 results. So, prospectus (university) seems like something notable. I don't know anything to expand the article, though. --Aude (talk contribs) 04:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as dicdef, unless someone expands the article (possibly with the history of prospectus in universities?)--TBCTaLk?!? 03:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, dicdef. We're not Wiktionary. I'll change my mind if this gets expanded somehow. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly notable, but that's not the issue. The article's a stub, but it's more than a dicdef. It would be nice if someone expanded it, but if we went around deleting all our stubs, we wouldn't have very many articles left! --David.Mestel 05:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per David.Mestel and Kmf164. College/Universtity prospectus' are well-known in the UK and Europe. I would say possibly add it to articles that need attention as I'm pretty sure there are many users that are able to bring this article above stub status (possibly by a collaborative effort involving WikiProject Universities or WikiProject Schools). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheJC (talk • contribs) 08:18, 30 Jun 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep definitely notable, and as TheJC touched upon, prospectus' (prospecti?) are mass distributed by universities and private secondary schools. The article also shows potential to elevate beyond stub status, again per TheJC hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 08:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - While it's a stub at the moment, this can be more than a dicdef if someone were to go into detail about the sort of things that appear in prospectuses (prospecti? ;-) ) in addition to Alternative Prospectuses that students of some colleges put out. Seb Patrick 09:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. An important set of booklets that deserve an article. I'm sure it will be expanded. --Bduke 09:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Actually, keep and expand, per above. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rename to something like Prospectus (education), since, as has been mentioned above, documents of this type are not restricted to universities -- they are also used by many other academic institutions, including colleges and private schools. — Haeleth Talk 12:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but rename per Haeleth's suggestion. Seems to be a topic that is easily expanded on well past the dictionary definition. Kuru ^talk 13:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Seems to be a notable topic; the article just needs more work. --Doc Tropics 17:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Zos 18:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Obviously. Skinnyweed 23:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Note that though the article technically can be expanded from a dicdef, is anyone here willing to do it? Unless someone bothers to expand and clean up the article, I'm keeping my vote as delete. (I'm personally not very familiar with the subject, thus I'm not sure how to expand it)--TBCTaLk?!? 01:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep general nomination should be discarded. OMEN 03:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep An important and well-known term Lurker 10:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Well-known to me and, no doubt, thousands of other graduates. Without the prospectus, prospective UK university candidates would not know the variety of course structures and subjects that the UK educational system offers. They must have a rich history and are deserving of an encyclopaedic article. -- Alias Flood 12:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Norman Lethbridge Cowper

An upstanding member of Australian society, but I don't see anything encyclopedic in this bio NawlinWiki 00:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• • Sir Norman wins this one, nomination withdrawn per arguments below. NawlinWiki 15:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable. Wikipedia is not an obituary site. Most obituaries reported in newspapers are of people not notable enough for Wikipedia Bwithh 01:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete per WP:BIO. No evidence of notability, only 7 Google results [1], some of which are from Wikipedia. Possibly also redirect to Australian Club--TBCTaLk?!? 02:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that Google hits are a relevent criteria for someone who lived before the internet era. Kevin 09:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Since the Law Society is still active, I believe that the Internet is still a relevant criteria for this discussion--TBCTaLk?!? 10:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Seems notable enough for mine. Eminent Australian lawyer and President of the Law Society. Lack of Google hits due to the fact that he died in 1987. Besides, the Google hits he does get include references in ministerial speeches at a lecture named in his honour. Capitalistroadster 02:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Further to the above, I have read an article in the Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society published in 2000. He was the senior partner in Allen, Allen & Hemsley, Australia's leading law firm. In her book The Allens Affair, Valerie Lawson wrote Before the reign of Sir Norman Lethbridge Cowper, Allen Allen & Hemsley was a club. A good, solid gentlemen's club where the door was bolted to all but family and friends. After Norman Cowper swept the dust from the club's corners, the door was thrown open to talent. Aliens became the hub of a wheel, a network, reaching out to the world. Good schools and the right attitude still counted. But what mattered most was hard work and driven talent. Under the reign of Cowper, from the 1930s to the late 1960s, nepotism gave way to brilliance, drudgery gave way to energy.. Capitalistroadster 03:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Some notability asserted (president of peak lawyer's body in NSW and other roles), would like to see more if there is anything. SM247^{My Talk} 03:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. You're suggesting that a president of the Law Society is non-notable? I strongly disagree. Btw, he has 229 google hits, not seven. --David.Mestel 05:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, I used his full name in my Google search, which would explain the difference in the number of results. Either way, 229 results is not a lot for someone notable. Also, Cowper is not the president of the Law Society, but of the New South Wales Law Society. (Note: Since I am not an expert on the subject, I can't tell if the latter is a different organization or merely a branch of the Law Society, though either way they seem to be different)--TBCTaLk?!? 09:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above: president of the Law Society is notable. -- Synapse 06:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He's not president of the highly notable Law Society, he's president of the not really notable New South Wales Law Society. -- GWO
  • Huh? Which Law Society are you talking about? That article makes it quite clear that the law societies in each jurisdiction are separate. JPD (talk) 10:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm talking about the New South Wales Law Society. Your question would be better addressed to those who said You're suggesting that a president of the Law Society is non-notable, or president of the Law Society is notable. -- GWO
      • You said "he's not president of the highly-notable Law Society", but there isn't only one Law Society, as that article says. He was president of the Law Society in his jurisdiction, which is notable. I see nothing to suggest that the people who said this was notable didn't understand perfectly well what "president of the Law Society" means - it is only delete votes that have suggested it could mean anything else, and at least one of those admitted that they didn't know what it was. JPD (talk) 11:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup notable enough for me hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 08:54, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Note. I have started work on cleaning it up and establishing notability. For the record, Allen Allen & Hemsley is now Allens Arthur Robinson and has offices in eight Asia-Pacific countries. [2]. Cowper played a critical role in its expansion. A Google News search shows that the company is actively involved in the merger of OneSteel and Smorgon Steel and representing Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary GeneralRe. [3]

Capitalistroadster 10:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Capitalistroadster. President of a Law Society and a founder of the United Australia Party should be enough notability! JPD (talk) 10:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroadster. Clearly meets our de facto inclusion standards. Not that that's saying much. — Haeleth Talk 12:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: cleanup and expand with more citations. Zos 18:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The ChicoProject, LLC.

An article about very small consulting company in a small California city, growing cruftier by the minute (it describes their dress code, for gawd's sake). They get 44 unique Google hits, so it doesn't look like they're that big even in Butte County. Calton | Talk 00:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age of the Beast

Unreleased homebrew game. It's crystal ball and possibly non-notable as well. Ace of Sevens 00:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

ATTENTION! If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a ballot, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting heads. You can participate and give your opinion. Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing!

• Delete as non-notable, non-anything really Kevin 09:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - it's extremely notable. It's the sequel to the immensely popular Beats of Rage. Beats of Rage has spawned multiple engine derivitives (OpenBOR, BORHed, OpenHOR) for multiple platforms and millions of downloads between the platforms and derivitives combined - and this game and engine is the next step. The creators of the game - Senile Team - have a ton of fans. MetaFox 12:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a must,this is a game long time in the making and very revolutionary as homebrew 2d fighting games go. theres tons of fans who download and enjoy making games with the original engine (BOR) and its cousins (OpenBOR, BORHed, OpenHOR), it will be no diferent with this game,people will love it and it be a mistake to remove it from here. So please leave it inn, thank you. AlexDC22 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.160.255.157 (talk • contribs) .
• Keep After 'Beats of Rage' this will set the standard of homebrew games. It would be ridiculous to erase this article. BDBor —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.162.210.232 (talk • contribs) .

  It "will"? I think you mean it "might". You have no evidence to support your claim: past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The game might never even be finished. The ridiculous thing would be if Wikipedia published unsubstantiated hype about games that don't even have a release date yet. — Haeleth Talk 12:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:V and WP:NOR. It is impossible to verify the claims in this article from reliable sources: we have only the authors' word for it. So the whole thing is crystal-balling, and cannot be kept.
  Note that having the article deleted now will in no way prevent it being recreated once the game has been released. — Haeleth Talk 12:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

  Comment There is a video available at the homepage showcasing the features of the game, and Age of the Beast: Special Edition was demoed briefly at the Midwest Gaming Classic on June 3, 2006. This makes the game just as notable for wikipedia inclusion as any unreleased video game that was demoed at the E3 gaming convention (and there's an abundance of those in wikipedia). - MetaFox 13:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Just because the release date isn't set yet, doesn't make it a crystal ball. Muerto —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.211.143.61 (talk • contribs) .

• Also they have a good track record wich should indicate that this game is the real thing....my GOD, they are the makers of beats of rage... alexdc22 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.160.255.157 (talk • contribs) .

• Keep

Despite of what the 'Warning' says: Of course I came here because a friend told me that the Wikipedia entry of Age of the Beast might be deleted. And why shouldn't I make my voice heard ?

Some Facts: There is something like a release date set: Though annouced for 2006, a release in 2007 is very likely going to happen. One got to consider it's a game by semi-professional independent programmers, not a big budget major company. There will be a commercial release for SEGA Dreamcast. It's announced as a Special Edition that will peacefully coexist next to the freeware download - but still with a pressed run of estimated 7000+ units.

As others already pointed out, there is a video available showcasing the game in action: http://www.senileteam.com/downloads.php?d=12

Obviously the game is using all original graphics, sounds and music along with an extremely customizable and powerful 2D game engine. To really achieve commercial quality takes a good bit of time for a small group of people, working on the game in their spare time.

It's predecessor Beats of Rage was ported to an insane number of platforms (there even is an AMIGA and Nintendo DS port), and the SEGA Dreamcast version was downloaded several tenthousand times - alone from the website I am involved in (http://www.DCEvolution.net).

Three years after its initial release, Beats of Rage still sees updates (OpenBoR, Linux & PSP port), and there still are several promising projects in the works based on the Beats of Rage game engine:

Sailor Moon Plus (freeware, Remake of the Sailor Moon game series by BANDAI): http://borrevolution.vg-network.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=364

Rage of the Streets (freeware, Remake of SEGA's Streets of Rage) http://dreamzoneboards.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1140255667

• Comment - you have mis-read the 'warning'. It is intended to provoke discussion rather than simple 'keep' votes without clarification. Detailed comments such as yours are utterly welcome. Kuru ^talk 16:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Wikipedia, she ain't a crystal ball, possibly vanity or advertising as well, highly nonnotable game - I'll quit here. WilyD 16:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I have to believe that even if this article wasn't crystal ballism- even if the game was released now- it would still be quite non-notable. I greatly respect DCEvoCE's comments, but they haven't sufficiently convinced me of notability for this particular game. -- Kicking222 16:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

  Comment It's an engine evolution and spiritual sequel of a game that has had millions of downloads. The video preview has been downloaded thousands of times, and the commercial special edition was previewed at one of the largest classic gaming conventions around as I mentioned above. Senile Team has a huge and loyal fan following, and has been covered in print magazines ranging from Pure to Retrogamer. I don't see how anyone can say it's not notable. - MetaFox 23:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Senile Team, and merge the summary paragraph into the Senile Team article. The content related to Age of the Beast does not yet warrant its own article because it is too speculative, but it is relevant to note what Senile Team is currently working on. ~ Booya ^Bazooka 23:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:SOFT quite clearly among other faults. I've also tagged Senile Team for deletion so I don't believe in the redirect. Also a note to the above people suggesting to keep: please note that no one here is proposing deletion on the grounds that this will not be a super fantastic popular revolutionnary kick-ass zillion downloads game. We are mostly supporting deletion because this game currently has no notability outside of its restricted fanbase. Pascal.Tesson 03:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Just because a game is not mainstream, doesn't make the fanbase restricted. Age of the Beast is one of the most anticipated games in the retro gaming community, and the retro gaming community makes up a large portion of the regular gaming community. The game was listed in the popular UK print magazine Retrogamer in issue number 8 as being one of the most anticipated upcoming games for the Sega Dreamcast. This article should have been tagged for notability instead of being tagged for deletion, because with a small bit of article expansion, acceptable references can be made that will show that the game is notable for inclusion on Wikipedia.

[edit] Red Shift (music)

Nonnotable electronic music group; article is cut and pasted from band's website, [7] NawlinWiki 00:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• • Withdrawing nomination, nice work by User:Grutness. NawlinWiki 09:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete per WP:BAND and WP:COPYVIO. Found two bands on allmusic called Red Shift, but neither seem to be relevant. Nevermind, Red Shift seems to be an album [8] created by a moderately notable artist [9].--TBCTaLk?!? 02:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I'd rather have the article rewritten from the ground up; please note that I have no objection to an article on this subject in encyclopedic form, as there really isn't much in the way of notability concern here per Tree Biting Conspiracy.

• Delete with no prejudice to new article. That is, this is a copyvio and should go, but the band are definitely notable enough for an article so I'd be very happy to see a real article in its place. Both "Faultline" and "Siren" are very good albums, BTW. Grutness...wha? 03:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I've rewritten the article, removing the copyvio and making it generally more encyclopedic. Keep now. Grutness...wha? 04:28, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I've added a little more as per suggestions from Captainktainer. BTW, the band's name is "Redshift", so if kept this will need to be moved to the proper title. Grutness...wha? 05:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment on the comment - having an article around so that another has more links is NOT a good idea. However, for your second suggestion, BE BOLD! Start a new article.

Comment — The original user (NarrowPathPilgrim) has almost exclusively edited Federal Governmental articles and always from a strong consipracy theorist/tax protestor PoV, see for example their edits to Talk:Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and The Law that Never Was. Also, based on the edit to driver's licence, I wonder if they're a Zephram Stark sockpuppet. 68.39.174.238 06:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: if this document is referenced by a lot of conspiracy theorists etc., then it might conceivably be notable even if it isn't real. I'd want to see some solid, reliable references to prove that before I'd consider voting to keep, though.

I quote: "The Chronicles of Awe is a fan fiction on the Lionhead Discussion Boards. It is writen by a happy senior member named HFB."

[edit] List of Guam rivers

WP is not an indiscriminate collection of information. No notability given for the list, stated or implied. Tychocat 01:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because for the above reasons:

List of rivers in U.S. insular areas

List of canals in the United States

List of islands in Massachusetts

I'm adding List of hospitals in Massachusetts, since it is tagged and links to this discussion, but I'm not proposing its deletion. Afonso Silva 11:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Contributor appears to like making lists. There are others, but I figure these will do for test cases, and I frankly fatigued out with the process. Tychocat 01:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I find geographic lists useful as a cross-reference. A list of PokeMon characters or Simpsons jokes? Those, I'd delete. -- Mikeblas 02:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete list of islands in Mass - Or at least trim it to a smaller set of them. It looks like every rock found in a puddle of water is listed there. Most of them seem to be barren and uninhabited. The rest all seem legitimate and useful enough to me. Wickethewok 03:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. These are useful lists well worth keeping. For mine, lists of significant geographical features are generally notable. Capitalistroadster 03:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. These lists exist for many features of many countries. They are a useful method of listing the features and subdividing them/further describing them in ways which categories cannot. They are also extremely useful since in many cases there will be numerous redlinks which - of course - cannot be categorised. Grutness...wha? 03:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep useful lists that can help readers navigate through articles on related rivers--TBCTaLk?!? 04:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete the list of islands in Massachusetts, the list of rivers in U.S. insular areas, and the list of Guam rivers, fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The Guam river article is also redundant to the list of rivers article. Keep the list of canals. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Guam rivers, as its redundant, and the Massachussetts islands for reasons above. Keep the canals. Abstain on the insular rivers. GassyGuy 04:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Per below discussion with Sjakkalle: Keep the list of rivers in insular areas and redirect Guam rivers to that article.
• Delete and categorise and the same with the others. Viridae^Talk 05:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I am not all that happy with the list as it is since it is a bunch of unannotated redlinks, but since we don't have any articles on any of these rivers, it is not redundant with a category (since we don't have the category). Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • (Also I want to affirm my wish to keep List of islands in Massachusetts as well. at the moment it looks like a reasonable work in progress to produce a table over terrain and population which makes the list useful on its own.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment No, but it replicates information on List of rivers in U.S. insular areas. GassyGuy 06:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • If you delete List of rivers in U.S. insular areas, it sure won't be duplicated... If that is a problem I think it best to keep List of rivers in U.S. insular areas and merge/redirect List of Guam rivers with that article. Deleting these will cost us valid information until we get enough articles to make a meaningful and useful category. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Please note that I didn't express an opinion to delete the insular ones. I was just pointing out what it duplicated. GassyGuy 07:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
        • Thanks for pointing it out. I agree with you that List of Guam rivers is a duplicate, albeit one which would be a useful redirect. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I see three pages listed at the top, in addition to Guam rivers. How is it that I got here from List of hospitals in Massachusetts when it does not appear anywhere on this page? That's the article I'm really here voting to keep; in addition to Mass. islands now that I see it up there.
• Comment. There is no real connection between any of the articles nominated other than that they are all lists. The nominations for each should be separate as the debate will be rather disorganised causing possible difficulties for the admins. Capitalistroadster 09:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - The five lists list things that are certainly finite. Obviously, there is not an infinite number of rivers in Guam nor an infinite number of islands in Massachusetts, so, the lists are useful and can be expanded with further info. Afonso Silva 11:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Geographic lists are useful. Kirjtc2 12:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep All. I've used many such lists to help fill out missing articles on geographic features. When the article list is populated or stubbed out, then add a category and drop it. Kuru ^talk 14:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All I can't question the lists as being useful or finite to particular editors. I do question the basic notability and encyclopedic relevance of the articles, which I believe is to the point. These articles only exist as lists, since if you stubbed the individual rivers there'd be no reason to have the stubs at all. I have a toolbox that's been very useful to me (and has finite contents), but I don't see how that rates inclusion in WP. (sorry for the belated appearance, I wasn't aware that it was done for afd nominators to also vote on their afds.) Tychocat 15:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that there's nothing verifiable or notable about any of the redlinked items in any of the unreleated lists you've proposed for deletion? Or are you saying that there's not content to these lists orther than being lists? I'm afraid your toolbox example does not seem to be very clear; your garage toolbox has done little to help editors on wikipedia, and would continue to be useless if it were included here - are you saying that these lists are also not helpful to finding articles to create and helping editors? There would seem to be quite a bit more to some of these lists than just 'a list' as well; the List of canals in the United States is grouped by canal functionality and operating state and also has some notations included as well. Could you please exapnd on your point a little further? I'm trying to understand your position. Kuru ^talk 15:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, I'm also a little concerned that the discussion here is getting a little fragmented since each list would appear to have different problems; and with the exception of the insular/guam issue - they're all unrealted. Kuru ^talk 15:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm saying the articles listed for deletion only exist as lists. There's no notability stated or implied for any of the listed items, except as readers apparently have for them on a personal basis. I point out there's no reason at all to have articles on most of the individual items, they only have relevance as items on a list. And being on a list does not make them notable, nor are lists intrinsically notable. Tychocat 15:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. I'm still not sure of your point here: 75% of the items in the List of canals in the United States already have articles which are more than established. I could probably create articles for the remainder that meet the notability standards for geographic locations fairly easily. The list complies with the guidelines at WP:LIST or WP:LISTS. There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of geographical lists along similar lines. Again, what is your guideline for the notability of a list? All items must be notable? Most? Which guidelines are you using? Please don't think I'm being combative - that's not my intent, I'm simply trying to understand where you're coming from. Thanks! Kuru ^talk 16:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a reference work so I would hope to find info on rocks, islands, rivers. That is part of our role. The lists are very well ordered and highly discriinate, but could use better references. --JJay 00:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep as per various other keep votes. --Merovingian {T C @} 00:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep but preferably Categorize. These seem useful enough, but should really be Categories. Bwithh 01:28, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all. These lists are crucial parts of what makes Wikipedia useful. Lists are articles, and are not the same as categories. Fg2 01:48, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; this lists can be valuable and are above the usual listcruft. Peyna 02:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It is beyond me how these can be seen as indiscriminate. In the case of the Guam list, I doubt that articles would be appropriate, but an enhanced list showing length, precise location etc certainly would be. Osomec 03:20, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep no reason to delete. An56 04:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with the added note that these type of nominations should be seperated. Yamaguchi先生 04:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I agree. This deal of multiple articles under a single nomination is bizarre. Especially since some articles pointing to this deletion page weren't even listed on this page initially. Sahasrahla 07:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Vegaswikian 00:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the list of canals. It isn't redundant with the category because not all of the canals have articles yet, and the list is useful to someone looking for a canal -- it at least acknowledges the existence of a canal. (As an aside, I came upon that article because I was seeing if we had an article on Duck Creek Aqueduct or Whitewater Canal.) Delete List of rivers in U.S. insular areas -- it's redundant with List of Guam rivers (which I vote to keep), List of Puerto Rico rivers (not up for deletion), and List of United States Virgin Islands rivers and streams (also not up for deletion). As far as List of islands in Massachusetts, I prefer to keep it, but the entries about "minor rocks" can probably go. I doubt we'll ever need an article about a minor rock. --Elkman 02:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep: We don't know whether this is viral marketing or not. Until it is confirmed to be so, which will likely be at the end of the timer, it should remain. It should also be taken off if nothing happens after the timer ends, obviously. Additionally, this has become a big and noticable thing on internet blogs and various internet news sources.

Comment: I see no real reason why any site would be this deliberately obscure unless it was to create hype. Wikipedia is meant to be an impartial observer, but with no solid information yet as to what Eon8 is, anything written in this article is mere speculation and conjecture that cannot be independently verified by anyone. Wikipedia cannot be an impartial observer if it lets itself get entangled in the hype -- we need to stay above the fray long as possible until the hype settles rather than be part of it. --  Netsnipe  CVU ^(Talk)  15:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Wait until the countdown ends. It's less than 12 hours away and considering there -are- people interested, maintaining what little info there is would be fitting in the stance of Wikipedia. Plus, when the counter is over and we know what will happen/happened, we can delete it or keep it as needed. (no sig to put sorry =/)

Wait until July 1st. If it turns out to be viral advertising, I would suggest a merge of all relevant information into viral marketing, provided that eon8 loses its notability following the conclusion of the countdown. Jryder 17:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Wait or at least take much of the information into the article on viral marketing, it's a stellar example of viral marketing execution. If it turns out to be for the new Bond film, it should be a section in the Casino Royale article. 71.200.83.199 18:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I really don't think all this waiting business is the way to do things. We don't customarily keep things because they might turn out to be significant; in fact, we pretty much do the exact opposite! As I said, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Restoring the article if it turns out to be significant is a piece of cake. Ain't no thing. Right now, it's just a thing on the web, and not even a thing that everyone's talking about -- sure, it gets some blog action, but there's a reason why "stuff some guys said on their blogs" is not generally accepted as a Wikipedia source. It may turn out to be significant, but it may not. Point is, we don't know, which pretty much underlines the fact that it is not yet significant. The fact that a lot of us are clearly intrigued by it speaks well of these guys' ability to get people interested, but that doesn't make this site encyclopedic material. -- Captain Disdain 18:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete with no special reason to wait until the counter expires. If it's viral marketing, then Wikipedia is not a billboard for it. If it's an inside joke propagated by someone with nothing better to do, then it isn't encyclopedic. If it's a real, honest web site, then the conclusions reached by the article are still original research. I don't see any reason to keep this around. --Elkman 18:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I can't see a reason not to. I think it's really interesting, and as it continues developing the Wiki article should be there to help log it. If it turns out to be nothing, then I still don't suggest deletion, but maybe merging it with an article on hoaxes or something like that. It's been around for nearly 80 days now, and I think that should give it some sort of merit. -- Phallicmic 2:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. I am saying this just on the basis that this article is VERY useful to people, especially today and tommorow, assuming there will be an internet tommorow. Heck, I went to wikipedia to look this up. It is an event that there is so little information on that everyone wants to try to find out more. Where else to go but here?Sbloemeke
• Keep if we do not know, we should not delete. too early for afd.--Buridan 00:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Wait, It is clear that there is no concensus on the purpose of the website. This invalidates the argument for deleting as marketing.

• Strongest Possible Speedy Delete A7, Do Not Wait, and Permanently block the IP addresses of the creators of the article for continuing to recreate the article after previous deletions as well as flagrant sockpuppetry attempt to subvert afd discussion. This is pure and relentless and appalling marketing/self-promotion abuse of wikipedia, either for yet another idiotic "enigmatic" web-based art project or for a marketing campaign. The idea of waiting for the countdown to end is absolutely ridiculous and is an invitation for more art self-promotion/viral marketing abuse of wikipedia. Wikipedia is absolutely not supposed to be a cog in a marketing machine or a free billboard for "edgy" web artists. If the site does in fact turn out to be notable after the countdown ends, THEN create an article. To do so now is simply to blindly help someone promote themselves for zero encyclopedic reason. It does not matter that we don't know if the website is for commercial marketing, we DO know that is relentlessly and obnoxiously (repeatedly recreating the article and the flagrant sockpuppetry) self-promoting itself on Wikipedia without any evidence of encyclopedic notability or any notability beyond its own promotion. If we wait until July 1, we would merely be bowing to the main goal of the self-promoters, and be prostituting Wikipedia in the process. Delete, and ban the IP addresses of the creators for unacceptable and repeated abuse of Wikipedia. No mercy. Bwithh

    • Clarification Just to clarify, even if the website does turn out to be sufficiently notable for an encyclopedia, I would STILL strongly recommend as a matter of principle that admins ban the IPs of the creators - at least for a long period of time if not permanently. I don't think this is harsh if the community tries to protect wikipedia from relentless abuse for self-promotion as well as sockpuppetry. Bwithh 00:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strongest possible terms delete per WP:WEB and the fact that this is a non-notable phenomenon. Vote-stacking of all the above sockpuppets and blockheads saying 'Let's wait and see' is not a valid exercise as (a) this is not a vote and (b) Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - if it isn't notable, it isn't notable. We don't create speculative articles about things that might be notable one day. Given that the website is now not available, this remnant should also be purged. Wikipedia requires more than self-published sources, and the only alternate available references are an array of forum posts. Only 176 unique Ghits for "Eon 8" (mostly unrelated) and 308 unique Ghits for "eon8" (likewise). Big WP:V problems alone merit deletion. Kill it with fire NOW.

Response: I'm suggesting that the number of hits / searches / threads / posts, here, and elsewhere on the net, are an indication of the widespread interest created. not that Wikipedia should be a "popularity contest" or a "billboard"? i think the "buzz" round the net is obvious. how many daft sites and anims have you seen spoofing it, or analysing it? lots, that's how many! it's an event. keep for now at least? it may be a 9 day wonder? it may just be the biggest thing since dancing hamsters!  ;) sepher 88.107.219.208 04:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Obviously this is nothing but a viral marketing site, but I can't determine that solely by looking at the site (which is down) or forums (which are segmented and unreliable).

ATTENTION! If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum pointing to this page, please note that this is not a vote. This is a discussion among Wikipedia editors and is aimed at reaching a consensus on whether the article is suitable for this encyclopedia. The outcome of AfD nominations are primarily determined by the quality of arguments for or against deletion; the process is immune to ballot-stuffing or Meatpuppetry. You can participate in the discussion and post your opinions here, even if you are new. Deletion is based on Wikipedia policies and guidelines, so please take a look at them if you have not already. For more information, see Wikipedia deletion policy. Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing!

A fork by User:TheEditrix, one of many. A quotation from Enoch appears in the Epistle of Jude, and it is accepted scholarship that what has come down on us as the Book of Enoch is identical to the work that the author of Jude quoted from. A reference can be provided on request.

Besides, the work is called Book of Enoch, not Lost Book of Enoch, so keeping a redirect would be misleading. Dr Zak 04:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Though I'm not familiar on the subject, I suggest a redirect to Lost books of the Old Testament.--TBCTaLk?!? 05:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect: to where its relevant. Zos 05:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete the article is problematic on several levels. Yes, there is a Pseudoepigraphical book called Enoch (which survives largely in Ethopic [Ge'ez] versions); however, no credible scholar refers to this as "the lost book of Enoch." Furthermore, no credible scholar would state that the book "may have been written by the Biblical prophet Enoch ben Jared, who was an ancestor of Noah." These books (the Pseudoepigrapha) were literary works of the :Hellenistic period. Finally, the one citation is not a scholarly source; but rather, appears to be an internet ministry. Em-jay-es 06:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

MJS: This should be a keep. Please note that the pseudepigraphal Ethiopic book you reference is NOT the book described in the article. This article describes the original book referenced in scripture, which absolutely "may have been written by E b. J." I trust you'll reconsider your vote in light of this information. --09:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheEditrix (talk • contribs).

Strong Keep. This is a thoroughly referenced article, and requires its own page for the following reasons:

• 1. As the article notes, the existing Book of Enoch may or may not be the book referenced in the Epistle of Jude.
• 2. I dispute the assertion that it is "accepted scholarship" that the two books are identical. To the contrary, there's a strong body of evidence that the existing Book of Enoch is pseudepigraphal. If so, the lost book and the pseudepigraphal book are entirely unalike. Note new Encyclopedia Britannica link confirming this position.
• 3. If the two books are the same -- a question unresolvable by modern scholarship -- the article makes clear the possibility.
• 4. Moreover, this is a daughter article to Lost books of the Old Testament. Redirecting it back to the parent would be comparable to redirecting all the individual entries for Biblical books (Book of Genesis, Gospel of Matthew, et al) back to Bible. These books are individually notable.
• 5. Re: current lack of scholarly links. This is a growing article. Note that it's only a day old. Stub it, if you believe it needs more work, but deleting an article that is already this thorough because it's not yet thorough enough is premature, at best.
• 6. Finally, if editors wish to discuss the possibility of the books being identical, the place to do that is within this article. Deleting the article makes that exercise impossible. --The Editrix 09:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, no redirect. This would appear to be WP:NOR in respect to the claims there is an additional "Lost Book of Enoch" different from existing, known works attributed to Enoch. None of the links provided suggest that anyone has a serious, scholarly opinion that there is an additional "Lost Book of Enoch" that is different than 1 Enoch. Claiming that because Enoch 1 is pseudepigraphal and thus cannot be this so-called "Lost Book of Enoch" is a straw-man argument. Regardless of the true authorship of Enoch 1, the author of Jude apparently accepted it as scriptural and referenced it in his work; not surprising if taken in the historical context of when Jude was written. A discussion of whether or or not there is an additional Book of Enoch that differs from 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, or 3 Enoch is a disscussion for a forum or message board, not a Wikipedia article. I would say redirect to 1 Enoch but since this was found in 1773, the title would be a misnomer.--Isotope23 13:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Inclined to merge (no redirect necessary) with the existing article on the Books of Enoch. Apocalyptic texts are bound to attract esoteric interpretations. This text needs to be changed to make it clear who is promoting the notion that the true text of Enoch was suppressed, and otherwise restated in a NPOV way; and if that is done I have no problem with its inclusion. Smerdis of Tlön 15:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment if that is done it needs to be sourced as well, because I couldn't find any evidience of the suggestion there is a true text that has been suppressed.--Isotope23 15:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Half-preserved text tend to attract speculation and conspiracy theorists, so it's imperative that any assertions made be on an adequate level of scholarship, lest the article descends into conspiracycruft. I see no proper sources there, merely websites with no scholarly aspiration. Dr Zak 15:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Not original research. Note sources on page. --The Editrix 16:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment, please don't state keep again since you've already stated it once in this debate. The problem with the sources on the page is that none of them (as far as I could see) suggest there is an additional "Lost Book of Enoch". They all refer to 1 Enoch. Thus, the contention there is a "lost" book constitutes original research.--Isotope23 17:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: By itself, my remark about the article’s title is insufficient for a deletion. However, as Wikipedia already has several articles on legitimate Enochic literature, the title Lost Book of Enoch is misleading at best and sensationalistic at worst.
Please note the following points:
1. If this book of Enoch is separate from the known books of Enoch, and exists only in the short citation found in the New Testament (Jude 14-15), as User:TheEditrix asserts; then, the book in question is hypothetical. That is, it exists only in theoretical form (the theory being: Jude had a book called “Enoch” that has since been lost).
2. The presumption that Jude had a lost book of “Enoch” is problematic for several reasons. This is because the source cited by Jude is Enoch himself, and not a book. Thus, it remains in the realm of possibility that Jude was citing an oral tradition ascribed to Enoch, or (more probable), that he is citing a book in which the character of Enoch was a major player. The best example of this second possibility is the pseudepigraphical book of Jubilees, where Enoch plays a role.
3. To state that the historical Enoch “may have been the author” sidesteps not only the above considerations, but also the basic question of whether Enoch ever existed in history (many scholars view the character as a mythical figure). Furthermore, the statement stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming scholarly opinion regarding Pseudoephigraphic writing during the Hellenistic and early Roman periods (i.e. the period of the second Temple of Jerusalem). The production of literature ascribed to biblical characters was commonplace during this time period. Biblical characters (like Enoch) who lived before the time of Moses, became popular “authors” in the third, second and first centuries BCE. While it is safe to say that Enoch is the “traditional” author of a particular text, it is improper for an encyclopedia entry to state that he “may” have
4. Finally, considering that User:TheEditrix is dealing with a theoretical book cited only in the New Testament epistle of Jude, it is problematic that no New Testament scholarly works are cited. To deal with a “Lost Book of Enoch” that only presently exists in Jude 14-15, one must begin by examining Jude 14-15. What can New Testament scholarship tell us? In terms of textual-criticism; do all ancient manuscripts of the NT include the Enoch quote? Are there any textual variations? Are there anomalies in the Greek of the NT that would indicate a translation from a Hebrew or Aramaic source? Does the Greek quotation match up with any present Greek translations of Enochic texts known to date?
User:TheEditrix, I am not trying to dissuade you from conducting research into extra-canonical biblical literature (and I hope you find my criticism constructive); however, the article as it stands represents WP:NOR, and does not qualify as an encyclopedia entry.

(For those just tuning in, a list of the other A Course In Miracles related articles this user has nominated for deletion: Helen Schucman, William Thetford, Foundation for Inner Peace, Foundation for A Course In Miracles, Community Miracles Center, Gary Renard, Kenneth Wapnick.)

And I contest the accusation that this page is "Original Research". This page contains the following citations:

^ Publishers Weekly article about Disappearance of the Universe Retrieved June 30, 2006

^ Foundation for Inner Peace translation article Retrieved June 30, 2006

^ Miracle Distribution Center study group list Retrieved June 30, 2006

^ Foundation for Inner Peace "Scribing of the Course" article Retrieved June 30, 2006

^ Attitudinal Healing homepage June 30, 2006

I have provided a link to the publisher of this book [52], and a picture of the book itself. The article hardly says anything beyond what is verifiable in other places. You may not like the sources I've provided, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE WILL YOU ADMIT THAT I'VE PROVIDED SOME? I'm getting sick of you ignoring this.

Further, if you all think that these books do not deserve their own pages, could I make an article about the most notable books on Course commentary? Where exactly would the rest of you be comfortable with these references? Should I make a small section on the main A Course In Miracles page?

Oh, and I think the article should be kept (obviously) because it is notable for being the only journalistic overview of the entire ACIM movement. -- Andrew Parodi 07:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

And Celebrity sex tape is notable? I'm so glad I've decided today is my last day editing on this site. The idea of what is notable and what isn't is so incredibly subjective that it's laughable. I think there is even an article on this site about who has breast implants and who doesn't. Actually, here it is: List of people with breast implants.

[edit] A Return to Love

This author of this article already has a page and a similar article was already merged into that page. Discussion with several editors determined that there wasn't any reason for this particular one of eighteen books by the author to have a page of its own. Please see the authors recently merged page at Marianne Williamson, and the discussion on that page as well. Ste4k 05:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Indeed, a similar article was already merged into this author's own personal page ... by you, right? Weren't you the one who merged this book's page into the author's page? And then you tried to nominate this page for "speedy deletion" and were told that you can't nominate a page for "speedy deletion" on the grounds that it had previously been deleted, unless it had actually been deleted. It hadn't been. It had simply been merged. I don't think a nominating editor can use his/her own previous merging of an article as justification for deleting the article, can they? That's basically just saying, "This page should be deleted so that I can get what I want." And as I mentioned on the talk page, I think this book deserves its own page apart from her other books because this is the one truly notable book she ever wrote. See the third-party source I quote from that mentions this book was top of the Publisher's Weekly list for eleven straight weeks. I think that's pretty notable. None of her other books achieved that kind of success. -- Andrew Parodi 08:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The discussion to merge this book into the author's page originally began on IRC in bootcamp where it looked to be the only way to save the author's page from being deleted. The author's page hadn't any credible secondary resources. All of the resources listed there on that page now were found on my own behalf and research. The book is prominently noted on the author's page, as well as cited resources for it. Ste4k 02:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I think it is bad faith on his/her part that he/she has continually accused me of being part of "some advocacy group" or of making money off of ACIM, claiming that these things are the only reason I have any interest in seeing to it that he/she doesn't have every ACIM-related article deleted. This person does not understand that deletion nominations are not the place for resolving disputes over article content. Read his arguments for the deletion of Big Brother. This person seems to be prudish. He/she didn't want Big Brother Season 6 to have an article because he/she didn't think it was notable, all the while ignoring the fact that just about every mainstream major show is allowed a page on Wikipedia. He/she seems to not understand that Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. -- Andrew Parodi 21:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

If you have issues with a user's behavior that you can't work out with them, dispute resolution is the way to approach it. Here we just consider whether articles should be deleted. William Pietri 22:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I think the nomination is well meant as part of a cleanup of some POV-ish material, but the book spent 39 weeks [57] on the NYT nonfiction bestseller list in 1992 and was seen a decade later as one of two books that took New Age thought mainstream [58]. It even gets a brief mention in the Skeptic's Dictionary [59]. I'd have a hard time calling it a non-notable book. --William Pietri 21:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[60][61] The term in this other sense would not have "Monism" capitalized, however. Gimmetrow 00:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Dartmouth Plan

Not notable, not verifiable, no actual content Dhartung | Talk 06:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Further comment. The article describes a political plan that is only available by applying to receive it via a Gmail address. The article does not describe the plan in any detail. The plan has not been written about in any major media. Most of the linked sources are general and irrelevant. The only place the plan has even been discussed is astroturfing in blog comments. If it exists and is reaching opinion makers, it would have been talked about by now, but Technorati shows no current discussion. --Dhartung | Talk 06:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I personally have no connections to him or the Lib Dems (I'm actually very anti-Lib-Dem), but I feel that as he has stood in more than one place, it will be useful for people investigating those election results to keep this article (something as a political anarak I seem to do very often).

    • Comment In addition the Bromley Times, the root source, has subsequently stated the following: Mr Neill failed to resign his directorship until last Friday, but threatened legal action from other parties seeking to have him disqualified now seems extremely unlikely.

[edit] List of free party sound systems

This is a fairly indiscriminate collection of info, so it fails WP:NOT. There are no citations so it also fails WP:V. None of the entries have their own articles, so I have to question the notability as well. Kevin 09:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, listcruft--TBCTaLk?!? 09:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a page which accompanies Sound system (DJ) and Free tekno. It has its own page because of its size. It is a list, it doesn't need citations! The sound systems are there because they fit the selection criteria. On what grounds precisely is the charge that it fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information based on? I looked through it so i could make an response, but i can't see one category which describes this list, which is after all a list of free party sound systems, exactly what it says on the tin.

Did you guys read the discussion on the talk page? I fear not. We already went through the verifiability and 'should it be a list?' issues there. For verifiability, pretty much all the sound systems have websites but they are not linked because Wikipedia is not a collection of external links. Many are mentioned in the following books:

• De Haro S., Estève W. 3672 La Free Story, Trouble Fête, ISBN 291425301X
• Petersen, V. No System, Steidl, ISBN 388243645X
• Van Bezouw C. Sonique Village, ISBN 9090159932

User:Kevin says "None of the entries have their own articles, so I have to question the notability as well" - this is not true, there is an entry for Spiral Tribe and more planned, but I dont think its worth putting up just stubs, so they come slowly. Going by WP:MUSIC I feel this list is notable because it falls under the category of others and, as I put it on the talk page ...

All the systems on the list qualify under the following spec:

For performers outside of mass media traditions:

• Has established a tradition or school in a particular genre.

The tradition/school can be defined as teknival parties or underground culture, the genre as free tekno music. These sound systems participate in parties which can attract up to 100,000 people, for more info look at Czechtek or teknival. Mujinga 00:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

While this may skirt the edge of being an indiscriminate collection the way the current policy reads, the verification policy is not negotiable. Each entry on the list is a statement of fact that XXX sound system has performed at YYY event. These facts need to be verified, per WP:V. This means a reliable source for each entry, or a blanket source if it's a book or suchlike. I don't consider each sound system's web site as a reliable source, because they are not independant. Kevin 09:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Interesting point Kevin, but if I may respond, I would say that I believe the entries on the list meet the selection criteria for a stand-alone list. I had a quick browse and I don't see many lists with a reliable source for each entry. eg List_of_German_language_poets, List of breakcore artists, List of mathematicians. Further, if you agree this is not an indiscriminate collection of data (and it's really not!) the doubt over verifiability is not in itself a reason to delete. The list can be edited and made better, for example i just added the three book references i quoted above. Verifiability is indeed a problem, as it always is with recent history. Perhaps the introductory paragraph describing criteria for inclusion can be improved with your help? Mujinga 10:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with the argument "such and such does not comply with policy, so this shouldn't have to either". As I said, each and every entry has to be verifiable. With most Wikipedia lists the entries have their own article, which should provide verification for inclusion on the list. Almost all of these entries have no article, so the verification must be in this article. I'm in favour of removing the redlinks from those other lists if they have been there more than a few days.

The indiscriminate argument could be gotten over with a good introductory paragraph, which I can help with if the article survives.

The bottom line though is that without verification, the article should be deleted. WP:V states that if an article topic has no reputable, reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on that topic. --Kevin 10:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I also don't agree with the argument "such and such does not comply with policy, so this shouldn't have to either". My argument was actually that I don't believe every item on a list needs to be independently verifiable and I gave the other lists as examples, but strictly speaking you are correct on this point and actually for this article I can see that this criterion helps prevent vandalism.

As I hoped you noticed, I am busy adding some "reputable, reliable, third-party sources" to the article in a References section. For example, 3672 La Free Story has a list of about 100 systems on page 187. We will ignore the systems' own websites for now even though these could be argued to be official sites operating in the same way as artists' websites do and they often contain fotos, writings, music and other documentation. I could add external links which document groupings of sound systems such as Brighton Alliance of sound systems and Czech Free Tekno. Also, Wikipedia:Notability (music) states that Another good source is Discogs (http://www.discogs.com), useful here because many sound systems (eg Metek or Foxtanz)have eponymous record labels. With the addition of such verification I think that the list can stay. Mujinga 11:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sonnet 17 et.al.

I am nominating a series of new Shakespeare sonnet articles because they only contain the sonnet text and no description. Such articles run contrary to the guideline "do not write an article that consists only of lyrics" in Lyrics and poetry. Since I think that the sonnets make fair enough subjects for encyclopedia articles, I am listing up the articles which have no description and which probably should be transwikied to Wikisource unless they get some encyclopedic text on them. If anyone wants to expand any of them to make real encyclopedia articles, please do so and cross it off the list.

2. Sonnet 19
3. Sonnet 20
4. Sonnet 21

• Keep all as there's an informal project going on to get these articles up to scratch see Talk:Sonnet_1 for some early discussion. Some of the sonnets have been updated within the last couple of days, and though it's a big task I think it might be able to be done for all the sonnets. MLA 10:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki. Merge any analysis into Shakespearean Sonnets. -- GWO
• As written, I understand the desire. However, Keep with massive rewrites, as Shakespearean sonnets undoubtedly have plenty to be said about them from entiely reasonable sources. Perhaps stub them by removing the actual text for now? --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for now. If nothing has been done to clean them up in a month or two, I'll vote for deletion. But I'm confident these can be improved. It shouldn't be hard finding verifiable info on Shakespeare! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • There is no information here to delete! There is just the text of the sonnet. These are not "important articles", because they are not articles! They are just pages containing the text of the sonnet. If someone wants to write articles, that's great! But they should write the article and then create a page to contain it, not just create a page and say "please don't delete this empty page, I might get round to writing an article in it one day". (Delete, by the way. Create pages when you have text to go in them, not before.) — Haeleth Talk 13:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki (or delete if Tree Biting Conspiracy is right). If someone wants to write a real article about these, nothing is lost in having them start from an empty page. Also, a sonnet is only 14 lines. If you go so deep as to be able to write an extensive article about that, I think wikibooks is the place. On Wikipedia I would think two or three lines about each sonnet is enough, in which case they'd better fit in some combined form. - Andre Engels 13:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless the massive rewrite Badlydrawnjeff refers to happens in the next 5 days. It appears these were all created by someone who was unaware of the division between Wikipedia and Wikisource. To me, it would be preferable to just have someone start from scratch if they want to write encyclopedic articles about each of these sonnets (obviously I have no predjudice against article recreation of the namespace with different content) rather than wait several months and go through an AfD again. On a side note, is it possible to create a navbar that links out to Wikisource? If so that could be done with the nav bar at Shakespeare's sonnets in addition to the already existing link to Wikisource... allowing someone to quickly access individal sonnets. Somehow though, I remember someone telling me that interwiki linking like that doesnt' work...--Isotope23 13:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom. I wish people would stop writing stubs, and promising (or just leaving the stub) to come back and flesh it out later. Is this a race? Is someone losing because they didn't place a stub first to get editorial dibs? Why not write the full article and get it right the first time, and then post the complete article? Yes, writing articles for an encyclopedia is a lot of work - it should be. Tychocat 14:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Dr Zak 14:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• No vote yet on the general series. Strong keep any that have text besides the template and source. I assume all of these are already at Wikisource. The "analysis" link contained in the stubs I visited suggests that each of these articles could be fleshed out. The noteworthiness of each separate sonnet seems beyond doubt to me. Not sure I agree with some comments that say that it would be no harder to write articles about the sonnets if the pages that now contain only a template and the source text are removed; the template and text are indeed a start. Smerdis of Tlön 15:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all. It's the nature of the project to be a perennial work in process, and even the barest stubs among these begin at the logical beginning. Smerdis of Tlön 16:28, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• STRONG KEEP This is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Poetry. Over about the last month or so, 26 articles have been written on different sonnets, as well as significant changes being made to other Shakespeare related pages and a template being created to unify the discussion of these. It is much easier to work collaboratively on these if the shells are set up and then additional work done. There are 154 to do, and it is much easier to keep the format consistent if they are done in batches like this. And, yes, I expect you will see many of the existing articles grow as the project continues to broaden and deepen. I myself have not been writing original articles, but have worked on improving the ones that are put up. Sam 17:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep All - pending further improvements. Let's give these folks a chance to do some more work :) --Doc Tropics 17:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I also note that much of the specific work being done here was done by one of several newcomers who have been attracted to recent WikiProject Poetry projects, and that a notice of this process was not put on their page (just a note that the creation of the articles was inappropriate). A gentle reminder to everyone: Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers -- Sam 17:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Call me biased, but keep all - I added these sonnet texts myself, and, not unexpectedly, I think they ought to stay. Having the sonnet's text online is better than having nothing, especially considering their significance to classical English literature. It would be embarrassing for Wikipedia to post links to all 154 sonnets, only to have 90% of them completely missing. Some of you may disagree, but my personal opinion of "getting it right," as Tychocat called for, is getting it done right, not getting it done fast. Of course it's not going to be done in a day. No one is suggesting that and I think the very fact that Wikipedia has stub templates implies that some articles are going to start out wanting. I understand that Wikisource already has the same content, but the fact remains that Wikipedia gets boatloads more traffic than Wikisource, and if I were to search Wikipedia for an article on a certain Shakespearean sonnet, I'd rather find the sonnet's bare text than nothing at all. The whole point of Wikipedia is for different people to add, little by little, and slowly expand and improve content. If all I have time to do right now is post the sonnet texts, that's certainly better than waiting for 154 individual people to write 154 individual articles, one at a time. So what if the synopses, analyses, and other encyclopedic content isn't all going to be written en masse, straight away? --Sean Parmelee 19:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep for now, good faith stubs. Sean Parmelee, I would suggest focusing on actually turning your stubs into real stubs. I.e. having at least one or two sentences in the body of the article and having some context such as "Sonnet 17 is the 17th sonnet of 154 known shakespeare's sonnets."--Nick Y. 21:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Here's the deal. Eventually I am going to create articles for all of the sonnets. I usually get about 1 or 2 a day. So, there's really no point in deleting them, folks. Keep them. In a month or two each page will be back anyway. So, if you want to delete them, fine. But I'd rather you didn't because it makes it alot easier for me not having to re-write all of the skeleton. AdamBiswanger1 22:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Why don't you move the unfinished ones into your userspace and move them back once you are down writing the article? Dr Zak 23:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
      • So far, Adam's been in the lead on this, the project was his brainchild, but he's had a bunch of collaborators in the project - Sean is helping, I've futzed around with a couple, Stumps and others have added bits and pieces. It is easier to collaborate with the template set up so we can look at the active editing and all kibbitz. Some of these are pretty raw stubs, some are starting to really develop, most are still empty. But a ton has been done in the last month, and I think the activity is attracting a number of new people to WikiProject Poetry. If this sits in Adam's userpages, we lose many of these benefits, and we'd have to completely redo the template to fit the userspace instead of the article placement. So, sticking it in one user's space would be, in my mind, very un-wiki. Sam 00:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
        • Putting up raw, uncommented text is very un-wikipedia; people will complain that Wikipedia isn't Wikisource, and they are right! Hey, how about putting those articles without any commentary under Wikipedia:WikiProject_Poetry/To_do? This would make them easy to find and would stop the "not-even-a-stub" complaints. Dr Zak 04:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Right now, there's reference to it under Wikipedia:WikiProject Poetry#To Do and Portal:Poetry/Things you can do. I think I will, though, improve the descriptions and make clearer where the work needs to be done. Thanks. Sam 12:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Patience. --Alex S 00:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - If we can agree to keep the sonnets up, I think a standardized template needs to be established first, and all existing sonnet pages (stub or otherwise) need to be edited to conform to that standard before I or anyone else creates any text-only articles or any full articles. I noticed that the WikiProject Poetry page suggests using Sonnet 1 as just such a template, but I just wanted to make sure, if indeed Adam is going to contribute quite a great deal of time and effort, that he doesn't waste his time using a template that will only be modified later. As a side note, I personally would be willing (and planned from the start) to contribute some quantity of articles detailing the individual Shakespearean sonnets. Hopefully there is some way to coordinate contributors' efforts before there is any unneeded overlap. --00:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] K-fo

non notable neologism Travelbird 10:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NEO; a very nonsensical term as evidenced by statements such as the K-fo is "a slang name in Ireland for a breed of mammal that drinks too much". Also, very few relevant Google results [80]--TBCTaLk?!? 10:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• K-fo is a commonly used term in the south of Ireland localised to the areas of cork city and Dungarvan, county waterford and hence is a valid entry in wikipedia's library. Few relevant google pages are too be expected as Dungarvan is only a small town in a small county and the term "K-fo", although well known in this region, is still reletavely new so shouldn't be diregarded so easily. (added by K-fo)
• Delete. If it really were commonly used, there would be references. JPD (talk) 11:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Even if it is widely used in a small area, it isn't important enough for Wikipedia until it is verifiable. JPD (talk) 13:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Fails WP:NEO. Likely hoax. Tevildo 13:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment AfD discussion vandalised by K-fo to change "Delete" opinions to "Keep". Tevildo 13:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Looks like a hoax, and WP is not a place for things made up in school one day. Tychocat 14:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

School?? haha right...anyway, just trying to have some fun, but you guys seem to be stuck so far up your own arses that you've forgotten what that is...oh well, "K-fo" may be deleted from here but that doesn't make a difference at all.....so you can all fuck yourselves especially you london sydney fuck.....mathematics is your hobby...get a life....oh yeah...WHO THE FUCK ASKED YOU?!?!?!? cheerfully yours....K-fo

• Delete And thank you OH so much for your thoughtful, objectionable and worthwhile comments. To summarize: Mr. K-fo, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul! Wildthing61476 17:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
