[edit] Boyd_Haley

Another not-a-biography page with disreputable references, toxic hyperbole, buzz phrases "50% Mercury by weight". It is Thimerosal controversy being re-written along with conspiracy theorising, Gulf War syndrome and WP:OWN by the usual author, Ombudsman. An academic Chemist with not a single published paper referred to in the article. Not notable, at least, on nothing like this basis. Not WP:BIO Not good. 'Speedy DELETE Midgley 00:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I've done some rewriting on it. Has anyone told his university/department the article was planned? That might be ... appreciated. Midgley 14:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. He does not pass the professor test, since he does not stand out from the crowd in any way except for being a vocal proponent of a controversial theory. He could however be mentioned in a the the Controversies in autism article under the section linking mercury to autism. He does appear to be one of the leading proponents of that theory[1].--Marcus 10:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I guess it is very difficult for you to understand this concept, but here it is. Even if you disagree - and maybe especially if you disagree - with Boyd's point of view, it is critical that people who want to be educated on the controversy know something about the people who make them. If Boyd is deleted, then it is open season on all kinds of people. Of course, precedence means nothing here, only mob rule. --Leifern 13:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Obviously notable, 50K+ Google hits on "boyd haley autism", for example. Whether he's a crackpot or not isn't relevant; he's a reasonably conspicuous participant in a high-profile public controversy. He shouldn't be written out of Wikipedia on a rationale that borders on censorship; instead, the article should be cleaned up and made into an NPOV presentation.

• keep: Common sense indicates that the concerns expressed by an eminent researcher of Haley's stature should be taken seriously, given that the combined effects of neurotoxins upon humans, especially in utero, are unknown and of paramount importance considering the acute crisis of the autism epidemic and rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases. Too, a goofle search for "Boyd Hayley" produces over 30,000 hits, making this AfD one of the most absurd ever to be attempted. Ombudsman 18:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The top hit of those 30 000 (I have not checked all of them) is the famously unreliable Whale site, and the next few are rather similar. When you get down to http://www.chem.uky.edu/research/haley/ which is what the Haley group says it is about, you find no note of toxicology, and no note of autism or mercury. But you don't find any note of any of that in the article. The problemisn't with the subject, who is as notable as many people are, it is with the article, which is not actually about him. SO yes, Prof Haley may well be worth biographising, but this is not his biography. It is eyt another of a string of articles pushing a very restricted POV of Ombudsman's att he expense of real information or an accurate view of the people whose names are used to cover them. Midgley 19:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
    • very restricted POV? the opposite to yours, so we know why you want to delete him.john 11:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, obviously. Notable researcher, even the nominator says he "may well be worth biographising". AfD is not the answer if you think an article has POV problems. David Sneek 19:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge & Redirect relevant NPOV info to Controversies in autism. If the subject is notable, and he is a leading scientist / crackpot / whatever who misses the bar as an individual, that's where he / this belongs. I'd be tempted to keep (or at least not delete) if this looked like it could be kept NPOV and verifiable, but I'm betting that would be a problem. Deizio 20:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

"Doubt" should translate into "keep" - WP has a bias for inclusion. --Leifern 13:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect to controversies in autism. A search of verifiable sources available through my public library system refers to two articles in Biotech Weekly and Vaccine Weekly respectively both titled "Autism: Lawsuits accuse companies of mercury poisoning". There is also a mention of him in relation to a 1992 New York Times article on Alzheimer markers. Academic Search Premier came up with nothing on him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Capitalistroadster (talk • contribs) .

• Keep I've seen Wikipedia articles for people who own ad agencies, not to mention creators of favorite anime. The bar for who is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia is not all that high. This is a professor who obviously has a following. He seems to be important to supporters of alternative medicine, so mobbing on this for deletion could be considered a political/ideological action. --Pansophia 01:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Soapboxing and walled gardening by one editor with a known strong anti-vaccine and autism-related bias. JFW | T@lk 05:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Who starts an article is irrelevant, and you know that. The soapbox element should be edited to be NPOV, and the wall garden is nothing but a spurious charge, disappointing especially coming from you. --Leifern 13:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
    • It is not the starting that bothers me, it's the writing. In the present form the article is biased towards Haley's work in mercury, while his academic interests are underrepresented. There are significant WP:V problems as well. I reserve the right to vote delete when an article appears beyond rescue. I also support the invocation of WP:BIO - this researcher does not need his own page to cover the material mentioned; this is Ombudsman's well-known tactic of maximising his desired content - writing about the personalities. That's walled gardening to me, period. JFW | T@lk 02:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep well known. --Masssiveego 05:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - A search on PubMed --the database of medical articles (for everything 1966+)-- for Haley B(au) AND autism yields three articles, the first of which is published by a German group and possibly someone with the same name. Haley BE(au) AND autism yields one hit on PubMed. On NONE of the PubMed papers is Haley first author (i.e. the lead author). Haley isn't an expert in austim in my books-- if he has no more than three publications listed in PubMed and a not a primary author on any of them. As for Google hits -- I got 15,900. There are things that had more hits (e.g. Church of Reality) and didn't get an article. Nephron 06:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but I agree he deserves a mention in Controversies in autism. The way it's written now is a soapbox for a point of view best raised elsewhere. -- Samir (the scope) 06:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Just another attempt to suppress a vaccine critic. Boyd Hayley is the most notable scientific critic of thimersosal. Typical Midgley, see attempt to delete most notable medical vaccine critic [2], and so on. john 09:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - if Midgley doesn't like the content, he can edit. Haley has lots of credentials and is an important person is a ranging controversy. Midgley, btw, is a known knave at Wikipedia, prone to chronic personal attacks, sockpuppetry, impersonating other users, and confusing the debate. Any AFD or CFD from his should be met with suspicion. --Leifern 12:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • This is an outrageous personal attack. Also essentially untrue (I was so irritated by an IP addresed user calling himself "the invisible anon" I registered the ID (making a literal error and registring the completely unused "Invisible Anon" which has been described as a sock puppet). I accept that that was WP:POINT and don't propose to do it again. AN admin commneting on it remarked that it had followed weeks of provocation - by Leifern, Ombodsmun and the IP address user referred to. If you look at Leifern's history, you will see that the first contact he had with me - triggered by Ombudsma - was a vitriolic attack on me, and an incoherent attack on a page I started called anti-vaccinationist which he has sustained. If you look at other edits I've been involved in, you'll see they mostly go smoothly, despite being in subjects not always free of controversy. (Try fast breeder reactors, Exeter, Smallpox, Edward Jenner which is now a Good Article. If you have a look at http://ganfyd.org you'll see that I wrote the licence and was an instigator and am a sysadmin etc there and it works very well. Look at leifern's early edits and you'll see that one of the four subjects he is very obviously non-objective on is the presence of anti-vaccinationists in the world (I can understand the psychology of the other 3 but that one I'm unsure of - possibly it is the reaction of someone who makes his living from rationality finding that he is keeping company he cannot accpet as an organised group but must regard as coincidental agreement arrived at independently but this is a digression). I think this sustained pattern of behaviour against me is outside WP policies and norms and worthy of comment. It certainly is an ad hominem attack here. Would admins take note of this, please. Midgley 15:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep this off the AfD boards guys, yeah? Leifern, your comment should have ended with the word "controversy" and you know it. Midgely, your response makes this a candidate for a bad faith nomination. You guys seem too involved with the extreme ends of this debate, maybe others are better suited to judge this topic. Deizio 15:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I would challenge anyone to find a clear example of my taking an extreme point of view on this issue, or any other - or that I have "lied" to anyone. All I have asked for is that a controversy be presented fairly and accurately. As for Midgley's sockpuppetry, impersonation, etc., it's a matter of record and not a personal attack. I think that anyone who stoops to such tactics deserves suspicion if not scorn. --Leifern 18:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to write an encyclopedia. I assume that Leifern posted in such fashion to make it appear that this is bad faith. In the end people have to make up their own minds, but should not be lied to. I agree that this is not a place for such an argument - Leifernstarted it and will not stop despite firm administrative guidance - I don't know what else to do about it, and as one might expect and I think is intended, it is upsetting. I note that other people have simply left WP in esponse to such tactics - I'm one of the ones you want to keep. Midgley 15:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I did not make this AFD, you did, so I'm not sure how my objection to it could be done in a way that makes the AFD look like bad faith. As for firm administrative guidance, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. As for being sober, thanks again for your medical insights, but yes I am sober. --Leifern 11:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Good morning. Here is some firm guidance you have managed to know nothing of. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Andrew_Norman&diff=43488887&oldid=41759444

I would think better of this behaviour if it was not sober. I read the WP article on sockpuppets, and apart from WP:POINT which I shan't do again, but Leifern is continuing to commit, none of my use of the invisible Anon was harmful - no voting, just a demonstration that if one wants to be called {name} then following advice from several people to actually register {name} is sensible. Leifern's behaviour has been from the start unreasonable and obnoxious, as demonstrated here. Since he started editing WP he has been pushing a particular POV, forcefully, and in several instances by sustained rudeness and uncivil behaviour - see his history with User:Geni over Thimerosal, Mercury and autism. It isn't coinciental, and it isn't me. Midgley 12:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - but I agree that he should be mentioned on other pages in reference to controversies in autism and thimerisol.Scot ^→Talk 00:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

comment: As pointed out elsewhere, Haley is perhaps the foremost scientist investigating the neurotoxicity of heavy metals, an area of utmost importance with regard to the global epidemic of autoimmune disorders. His research and outspoken opposition to vested interests profiting immensely from contaminating the environment and poisoning medical patients is of extreme relevance to many significant health and safety debates, making this AfD one of the most ludicrous and preposterous examples of gaming the system yet perpetrated. The motivation for this AfD is beyond highly suspect, since it inherently relies upon both a lack of understanding of the issues by many or most Wiki editors and the built-in advantage of having the dubious wind of medical orthodoxy at its back. Haley's research isn't simply about the role of thimerosal in the iatrogenic autism epidemic, it has ramifications with regard to the wisdom of the ADA's refusal to allow dentists to speak with patients about mercury poisoning caused by mercury-laden amalgams, upon the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, and upon the understanding of the etiology of autoimmune disorders. There are plenty of fictional characters and soap opera actor biographies to nominate for an AfD, rather than gaming the system to suppress important information of a highly regarded scientist who is serving a critical role by actively investigating the devastating effects of neurotoxins that have ravaged the health of millions. Ombudsman 20:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment Google:neurotoxicity of heavy metals --> 56 300 hits. The top one is the US national institutes http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/neurotoxicity/neurotoxicity.htm&ei=WCwXRJHoNp6aQa-d3KoH&sig2=yHwTbsInZanUx9Qsdl82Kw which looks distinctly WP:RS but doesn't seem to be where Dr Haley works at present.

neurotoxicity of heavy metals Haley --> 568 hits, but the top ones, in a pattern that is familiar here, are Whale, Mercola etc. At the top of the page we see 3 scholarly article hits, and on the first page there is one potentially reputable source the FDA giving what turns out to be a straight presentation (I think the US calls it testimony) on Hg and Alzheimer's disease. No comments attached to it from those who heard it, but I note the FDA has not changed radically as a result of it. After that it is all the way to page 6 before I see anything remotely academic or WP:RS and that - [ehp.niehs.nih.gov/docs/2005/113-12/correspondence.html] - although in an environmental health journal turns out to be a mis-hit, a different Haley.

"Neurotoxicity" is quite specific, if one looks at Google --> toxicity of heavy metals the spread is still quite complicated but high on the first page is emedicine which is a very WP:RS. Looking at the references in that article which is as all the emedicine ones are, Honcode, long, attributable, peer-reviewed, and in something more than principle sue-able/actionable upon if bad advice caused incorrect actions - points to books - expect to see Haley in the references in Harrison's? You shouldn't. On page two we find another reputable source a CDC minute

Looking more closely if we restrict sites to ac.uk and .edu (the US equivalent, I understand) we get much smaller numbers of hits which are much more distinct IE differ from each other in their content. They are also highly likely to be [[WP:RS]. Haley? The first inviting one in the .edu is IOM meeting agenda] with slides and audio. WHat stands out there is that yes, Haley is among people who one would expect to be well-recognised, and therefore probably is in his field, which there is given as in vitro studies. He is among others who deal with whole people, or make them ...

Conclusion of comment This does not to me make Dr Haley's reputation out as described above. It is a disservice to an academic or scientist to blow them up as something more than what they are - one of many - and the underlying reason tends to be that few scientists share the particualr point of view lauded. Actually, Haley has a reputation for doing competent and interesting work in fields having nothing to do with any of this, and that points up even more strongly that this is a non-WP:BIO piece of an article about Autism and Thimerosal controversy, not about Haley, and not an effort to biographise him. An article might be written, but this is not that article, any more than Peter Fletcher was. Midgley 21:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and rewrite if need be. Seems reasonably notable. Jcuk 23:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not adequately balanced, not convinced he's notable enough. This is not about Haley but about a theory, and I don't go along with "personalising" theories especially when dealing with contemporary not historical figures, it doesn't make for objective treatment of either the person or the theory Gleng 13:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

  Yet another example of the disservice of disinformed statements by certain diningenious editors with regard to Haley and the avalanche of hard demonstrative evidence that provide proof of the iatrogenic debacles that are the hallmark of mainstream medicine. If anything, Haley's research findings have nailed shut the coffin of medical orthodoxy's dead on arrival theories unconscionably proffered to excuse the unexcusable continuance of its idiotic insistence upon using thimerosal in vaccines and quicksilver amalgams for dental fillings. Haley's use of birth hair, blood and urine analyses, not to mention use of highly advanced biomarkers, are not mere theoretical indicators, these have been used to provide overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence of ongoing harm perpetrated by the medical industry. Ombudsman 15:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

  Just to pick out one thing from that unWP:CIVIL unWP:AGF comment, amalgam is _dental_ amalgam, not a medical thing at all. And while Haley's work is interesting, there is a need for someone else to actually succeed in repeating it before it convinces everyone. Thimerosal is pretty much abandoned now, and it is time the incidence of autism was shown to have changed as a result, if the cae for a connection is to be made - it is very classic really: make a hypothesis that A causes B, stop A, observe B decrease. We might avoid the stage of restarting A and observing B rise again in challenge - if it happens. WP:RPA does seem a useful semi-convention, and actually once it is appleid, the content of comments gets easier to pick out. The character of the argument of course doesn't of itself demonstrate the falsity of the arguments, any more than the ad homenem and more precisely ad personam attacks demonstrate anything about the article, the AfD or the science, but they are quite characteristic of anti-vacinationist and the fringe medical campaigners and IMHO out of place in the construction of an encyclopaedia. Medical orthodoxy by the way, has been assembled from whatever came to hand and worked, which is why so much that isn't orthodox doesn't work. We have been doing free and open copying of knowledge for generations longer than WP has, and approving of it. Midgley 16:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Man, lots of RPA links. Okay: I say, keep. Boyd Haley is notable as a professor; head of a department, with describable contributions. However, the POV edit war thing has got to be resolved somehow. AfD is not the way to do it: here, we should decide on the notability of the topic. I advise the editors to try dispute resolution. Mangojuice 19:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep by all means, but trim it. His article is longer than those of most heads of state. A couple of paragraphs should do for a scientist who is a proponent of a theory. ProhibitOnions 21:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, IMDb trivia is not a reliable source by itself, since it provides no citation; it's like citing to WP alone. It doesn't even say she's Norway's first porn star, it says she "Is considered as Norway's first porn-star" (emphasis added). Weasel word! Given the prevalence of Scandinavian porn in the late 60s/early 70s it's almost a guarantee she's not, but if she really is then we need reliable, verifiable sources.

I did some Googling to try to drum up some credible data on her, but ran into an intriguing problem — what constitutes a reliable source for a Norwegian porn star? I don't know any seriously researched sites, and I'm a little leery of pulling supposed factual information (what there may be of it) from sites called babeinvasion.com and tanyahansen.hugetit.us.

But she is the biggest, Norwegian porn star ever. Some say the first, but Sasha Gabor was the first. ... She is today a woman the majority of Norway's population has heard of...". Thanks to Eivind for providing the translation! --Marcus 10:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as per others above. She has pages on the Norwegian wikipedia [6], on the Swedish wikipedia [7] and on the German wikipedia [8], where she survived a local AfD. The German article says she won a "2003 Venus Award". David Sneek 11:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If she really is famous I'd be willing to change my vote; I'm not unreasonable. Those other WP articles David Sneek points out are all stubs though; the German one barely even qualifies as a stub. If she really is the most famous porn star in Norway, I'd expect to see an article on the Norwegian WP like Jenna Jameson or Ron Jeremy, and I'm not seeing it. Esquizombi 14:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Ok, I searched some Norwegian sites, to see if she really is a household name overthere. Here is an article about her in the Norwegian national newspaper Dagbladet. This headline from the tabloid Verdens Gang simply mentions her by her first name, because apparently that is enough for their readers. Google comes up with ten mentions of her in the national newspaper Aftenposten; in one of those pieces, about video vending machines, she is only mentioned once: "Bildene på coverne er delvis sladdet. Tanya Hansens nokså veldimensjonerte bryster er tildekket med en stor, gul prislapp..." My translation (caveat: I don't know Norwegian) "The cover images are expurgated. Tanya Hansen's giant naked busom is covered with a large price tag..." - clearly the author of the article felt no need to explain who she is. David Sneek 15:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Eivind and David Sneek, but please add some more text and citations to the article, and recruit people to help translate sources as necessarily ideally before this AfD even ends.

[edit] Shrines, mosques and graves

• Delete Unencyclopedic and fork considering there are articles on all three already. Another page created by User:Striver. User:Pepsidrinka had put up a prod tag and as usual, Striver took it out with out any commentary what so ever. [9] Jersey Devil 00:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. There is no requirement to comment on a prod removal, and there's no point in bringing it up here. · rodii · 00:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Yes, it is important that the administrator closing this up and fellow Wikipedians know about the prod removal especially so that they understand why I didn't prod it first and to the lengths that this poster goes to prevent his articles from being deleted. I understand you have objections to my moves in the Spinnwebe article but don't let it trancend into afd's that have nothing to do with that. Thank you.--Jersey Devil 22:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Undecided. After updates as of this post, I no longer feel this is an easy call. The article has substance (although with atrocious spelling), but I can't tell how meaningful it is with a quick read. It looks like it may be either pushing a POV or at least inciting controversy, but if its sources check out, it may be a reasonable article with some cleanup. However, if it does survive AfD, it definitely should be moved to a more informative title. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Most people did vote delete, since there was nothing to vote keep on. That is changed now, the article is expanded greatly [10]. I suspect it has some pov sentances here and there, and some grammar errors, so i request help with that. As is now, the article can stand on its own merits, in my view. --Striver 18:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comments, Striver frequently does this on afd's to try and stop his articles from being deleted. He says "I updated the article" to try and invalidate delete votes already cast and then usually sends messages in talk pages of his allies to get keep votes. I am getting real tired of it and an admin should know that before closing up this afd. Either way, the additions of which are alot of original research don't make the page any less of a fork.--Jersey Devil 20:40, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Adding to the content of wikipedia is a honorable thing to do, invinting people to vote is a wikipedia guildline, accusing me of adding original research wihtout even bothering to read the references is, well you know. --Striver 21:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. While adding to the content of WP is honorable, this article isn't salvageable. It is a POV fork. If it actually survives AfD, it should be moved to some more informative location (such as as Salafist destruction of shrines mosques and graves (this is also a horrible name, but it fits a horrible article & is descriptive). --Karnesky 22:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. Why do you regard it as unsalvagable and at the same time acknowledge that it is a topic meriting a distince name`? As you see when reading the article i just expanded, the practice is real, sourced, notable and actualy raises quite heated debates, that is if you read the references i provided. --Striver 22:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment there is already a Wikipedia article called Ziyarat, which covers Islamic pilgrimages other than the Hajj, and this article mentions Wahabi/Salafist persecution. Any real info could go there. Striver could put his energies into making a list of shrines that attract ziyarat and creating articles for each shrine, with pictures. Westerners know about the Hajj, but don't understand ziyarat. Info and pictures of the beauties of the shrines would help. Zora 23:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Not sure why current article justifies deletion. What is it allegedly a fork of? Georgewilliamherbert 00:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep with Rename. The challenge of following an AfD vote on a page that keeps changing notwith standing, this page seems to have material that needs to be kept. The topic matter will almost inevitably suffer from POV, and I'd like to encourage Striver to work with others to help make this material more encyclopaedic and less POV. The title clearly needs changing - there are several valuable offerings here already - but otherwise the topic seems to deserve a page. JGF Wilks 11:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Suggestion of Zora sounds reasonable. Pavel Vozenilek 22:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the significance of Shrines, mosques and graves is crucial to many Muslim practices. While Ziyarat is also an important practice to visit those places, Ziyarat will be a huge article by itself. I would say the article is a good stub that needs lots of work and it might end up being a huge article. I even started something similar to this in the Arabic wikipedia under categories. I was even planning to create something similar to this article myslef. The Peace Worshipper (aka 129.)^{Talk to TPW} 23:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment In the talk page for the ziyarat article, MPatel suggested a division into Ziyarat and Ziyaret -- that is, pilgrimage practices and places of pilgrimage. That seems workable to me. No one but no one is going to be looking for an article entitled "Shrines, mosques, and graves". I admit that ziyaret is not an English term and that no one will be looking for it either BUT ... it's unambiguous and we can direct people to it from Islam, Hajj, mosque, pilgrimage, shrine, mausoleum, and other articles. Zora 00:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, i see, and we cant do that for the present name? I get it. (not that i endorse the present name)--Striver 01:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Because we aren't interested in mosques and graves per se -- there are millions of mosques and graves that aren't places of pilgrimage. We are interested in the mosques and graves that are pilgrimage centers. There is no word for this in English, but there is in ... Persian? Arabic? Anyway, ziyaret is a good word to import into English as meaning "Muslim pilgrimage center not the Kaaba or the Medina mosque". I would be willing to give it up if someone could come up with a better phrase, however. Zora 01:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep and rename. Saudi-financed destruction of non-Wahabi mosques and other sites within and outside the kingdom (such as in Kosovo and Bosnia) is a real, and severely underreported phenomenon, and definitely needs an article. It could be better sourced and documented, but the issue is important. ProhibitOnions 21:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Instead of putting that all in an article about shrines and pilgrimages, how about starting an article called Wahabism and historical preservation? That sets aside the religious aspects and brings in the views of many non-Muslims who appreciate the historical heritage of Islamic art and culture. Zora 23:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename - My only complaint is with the title of the article, something like the "Conflict..." title someone mentioned above. Other than that I don't see a problem. -Oscar Arias 16:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Move - issue seems siginificant enough and well documented. Needs a better title. -- infinity0 20:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, to be clear, I'm not nearly as concerned with keeping Sungsu Kim (or every single academic philosopher) in the Wikipedia, as I am in getting Buffy, the Simpsons and other such popular nonsense off of it. I am fundamnetally an extreme deletionist, on other words. There's far too mcuh crap on here. This problem needs to be addressed. In the context of all this crap, I begin to thing it's not inappropriate to add a vanity page for each of my hundreds of relatives. Until I find out how to delete Buffy, I still say userfy so I can illustarte and discuss some serious deficiencies that I have found in the selection process for the inclusion of articles in the Wikipedia.--Lacatosias 09:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

While I agree (at least in part) with your views on popular culture (I think it's OK to have a concise article on Buffy, but not a whole family of articles on every detail, character and episode), keeping this bio to make a point is not the correct way to go about discussing this change. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 17:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge/Delete as above; Wikipedia is not Wikisource. The article is basically just a reproduction of the hadith. While there are many like it at List of notable Muslim reports, I don't know what makes a hadith notable, and the article does not tell us. Sandstein 11:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

So, you do agree that the topic is both verified and notable? In fact, so much that it is used in "the Sunni/Shia thing"? If you came to that conclusion, why are you voting delete?

No, I don't think it is notable enough. As to "npoving" and "perfecting" - no thanks, been there, tried to do that, met furious resistance and deletion (or "moving") of all criticism, will try to keep well clear of it if possible. Weregerbil 16:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

As for notability, you seem to have missed this link from al-islam.org, it clearly shows that the hadith is very notable in a prominent Shi'a/Sunni topic. As for "its hairspliting, see See Category:New Testament verses for comparision on details. --Striver 18:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, needs a bit of a re-write, but this is verifiable, and Striver has given it context beyond Wikisource. -- Samir (the scope) 05:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or merge despite bad faith nomination. Looking at an earlier version of the page, there was a citation. If you had a question about the source, the corresponding talk page should have used. Though, no source was provided on the Sunni and Shi'a views. However, this article should not exist, nor should other hadith articles. Despite Striver's example of Matthew:5 or whatever verse he keeps flaunting as precedence, I still don't think each individual hadith needs an individual article. Perhaps Zora's suggestion to create a Hadith cited by Shi'a article should be considered and these hadith could be merged their, instead of having thousands of individual articles floating around. Pepsidrinka 13:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge where? It needs to be duplicated at Umar, Shi'a view of Umar, Nikah Mut'ah, Stoning, Rajm, Ibn Abbas, Sahih Muslim, Ibn Zubair, Abrogation, Jabir ibn Abd-Allah, Hadith of the Verse of Rajm, Mut'ah of Hajj, Mut'ah and several other articles. Is it realy better to delete this and duplicate them all over the place? Further, it DOES merit its own notability as a hadith used in Shi'a-Sunni argumentations and a notable hadith to be included in the list of hadith. Again, Matthew 1:5. Further, this hadith is also cited by Sunnis, in fact it is a sunni hadith. So you dont put it in any Hadith cited by Shi'a. The whole idea of Hadith cited by Shi'a is pov, implying Sunnis never cite them. In fact, all hadith could go into Hadith cited by Shi'a, Shia cite all Sunni and Shi'a hadith. Zora tried to rename List of hadith to someting like that, but did not found support for that. --Striver 16:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree. In theory, I see every hadith as notable, though I don't think every hadith should have its own article. Especially with the length of the articles as they are now, with the hadith itself taking up a significant portion of the article space. If it is significant in discussing, it needs to be discuessed in other articles. That is why we have external links, citaions, references, etc. You can link to the hadith and mention any specific commentary in the article and cite it. If it warrants in the future, I suppose an individual article may be created. I think something more formal needs to be organized on hadith, and individual AfD's should not be taken as precedence.

• Merge/Delete as per User:Jersey Devil -- Oarias 03:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC). Changed vote to MERGE, Striver you have to understand that unfortunately there is a certain Anglo-centrism to Wikipedia. Instead of arguing with people, make the article easier to understand by explaining (in laymans terms) what is a Hadith who is Umar and what is the importance to Islam. I suggest that the articles be merged at first, worked upon by whoever has knowledge of the topic, and then be put back as separte topics when they are ready. Just some constructive criticism please don't bite my head off, it's just when it comes to a topic of Islam, you can not assume that people reading these articles will have ANY clue about even the basics. -Oscar Arias 01:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I am kinda starting to see Strivers argument about these hadith articles. I believe that if we can have hundreds of entries for Bible chapters and verses (not to mention hundreds of Pokemon cruft articles), then we should have ALL the hadith entries as well. (I don't care if it's 10 or 10000 articles, we've already set a precedent with Bible entries) Just for the record, I currently consider myself agnostic, I believe that God is unknowable and everything written about ALL religions is pure speculation, but that is strictly my POV. I believe Wikipedia should be NPOV when it comes to these religious topics and should have the teachings of ALL religions (I don't care if it's Christian, Islam, Judiasm, Taoism, Buddhism, Hindu, whatever). So I say bring them ALL the hadith's in if you want, but please make sure that if you do please make sure to keep NPOV if there are different interpretations between Shi'a and Sunni (and other) factions. As I mentioned above about Anglo-Centricism in Wikipedia -- to prevent votes like this from coming up in the future make them understandable by us Infidels. Otherwise someone (like I did initially) will vote to delete articles where they have no "frame of reference" (this is probably what Grenavitar was talking about when he mentioned "layers of articles" a few votes up. Anyhow, I've said my oberservations the rest is up to the Wikipedia community! --Oscar Arias 13:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

We should only have the articles if they are notable enough. The Bible entries are being paired down and there is even an Arbcom case involving them. Two wrongs don't make a right, so only make the articles if they are actually needed. kotepho 23:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Of course, nobody is going to bother bringing all hadith here. --Striver 01:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

It would seem that the whole reason Striver is putting these articles up is that there is some differences in interpretation between Shi'a and Sunni on these Hadith, thus making them notable. Kinda like discussing different interpretations of Bible verses by Catholics and Protestants.--Oscar Arias 16:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Imamah
• hadith of position
• Hadith of Umar and foretelling
• Shi'a view of Umar
• Sunni view of Umar
• Seal of the Prophets

Do we duplicate it all over the place? As i showed you, this hadith is wiedly quoted by Sunnis anytime they iterate Umar's merits, the hadith stands on its own, even if there was no other articles refereing to it. --Striver 18:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

And yet again, see Category:New Testament verses and Matthew 1:5 --Striver 18:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The Christianity articles are more well developed... they may be at a level where it makes sense to create verses and put them in an understandable context... also, Bible verses don't involve such sectarian struggles that hadith do. So, under that logic I'd probably keep a Qur'an verse if it had information but I'd delete most hadith. (also, where do these names come from?) gren グレン 22:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

More developed is great, lets have it more developed. The arguement "involve such sectarian struggles" only makes the hadith more notable, not less. People dont "struggle" about non-notable stuff. Exactly what about the article lacks context? If you could point it out, i would be happy to fix it, since i cant see what is out of context right now. Further, people dont end up here out of the blue, they have probably cliked through some article to get this deep in, and if nothing more, that should give them some context. --Striver 23:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or merge. We're missing a whole layer of articles necessary to make individual hadith articles worthwhile.

• Keep nominator afd's since i created it, he does not know anything about the article, or even hadith knowledge. He claims the sources is questionable .

User:Jersey Devil has a problem with me personaly and is consuming wikipedia time in the proces, that is all. I suggest he does that witout claming Sahih Bukhari is "questionable" sources. Ill give the article some more context in a minute. --Striver 12:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/delete. Lacks context; context is provided in parent articles, no point in adding context thereby creating copy of other articles. A maze of zillions of context-free article about religious trivia is an unhelpful way to inform a reader. Weregerbil 12:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Changed from "merge/delete" to "delete"; a quote from a religious leader for the main purpose of having some place to deride a competing religious faction. Little encyclopedic information, does not educate the reader, and the majority of the article (religious infighting trivia) shouldn't be merged anywhere. Weregerbil 16:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge per Weregerbil. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 22:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge, if there were a Hadith cited by Shi'a article where this would be appropriate. Please don't merge it to Umar. There are many thousands of hadith and we don't need a Wikipedia article for each one of them. MSA hadith database is just fine as a source for Sunni hadith. Zora 23:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

This hadith it prominently used by Sunnis:

[19], [20], [21], [22].

Also, this hadith have made Sunnis to reach the following conclusion in regards to interpreting dreams:

SHIRT: Wearing a shirt in a dream indicates adherences to the religion. The longer the shirt, the greater commitment to Islam. [23]

--Striver 00:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

as for "to many articles", See Category:New Testament verses for comparision on details. --Striver 00:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Make sure to take a look at Matthew 1:5 before arguing "to many details" and "to many articles". Remeber that this is not a paper encyclopedia and that the hadith is notable on its own--Striver 00:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak deleteNeutral It is verifiable and it is notable in the context of the Shi'a/Sunni debate but not on its own. As noted in all of the other AFDs for all of these articles to give the context needed would be duplicating information all over the place. How can a tautological statement be so controversial (Some of the shirts were X short and some of them were longer. Huh?)? Are there other references to people's clothing in dreams in Islamic texts? kotepho 00:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

It is also notable in Sunni and nothing more context. Didnt you note all the sunni links to the hadith? They view the hadith as one of the major merits of Umar: [24], [25], [26], [27].

Its Sunni alone notable, its dream interpretation notable, its Sunni-Shi'a debate notable. Heck, its much more notable than Matthew 1:5. --Striver 00:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

It is only notable in the context of other things. As I said in the other AFD put Matthew 1:5 up for AFD and I'll vote to axe it. Why can't this be covered in Umar and Shi'a view of Umar? As it stands just reading the article you are not likely to know who Umar even is from just reading it and if you add the needed context to all of the other ones you end up with having to add context to multiple articles instead of putting them all in one place. kotepho 01:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Basicly, both Shi'a and Sunnis use the hadith, so it does not belong to either "Shi'a view" or "Sunni view" of Umar, in that case it would be duplicated in both of them, and its better to just link here. Also, the narration has to detailed content to be added in the main article, it would be tossed out in a minute. --Striver 02:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, it would need to be duplicated in disscusions in Hadith of Uthman's modesty and the hadith of Abu Bakrs belief. In short, when a hadith touches many subjects, its better to have give it its own article and have the details covered there, and just linking to the hadith from other articles. For example, the Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah tuches subjects like Sahih Bukhari, Stoning, Abrogation in the Qur'an, Nikah Mut'ah, Ibn Abbas, Umar and so on... Its best to just give the hadith here and link to it, rather than duplicating it everywhere. --Striver 02:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I have changed my vote to neutral as I do not believe I have enough knowledge of the subject matter to decide where it goes. I still think it should go somewhere else but I believe Striver is correct that there will be duplication no matter which way you cut it. kotepho 21:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Massively rewrite and cleanup. Tim@, to be honest this looks like a college project or a first attempt at writing a review article for a journal. It's not original research but it is highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not Bioinformatics. Articles here should be intended for a general audience. Ideally you would explain in terms a high schooler or college freshman could understand, 1) what are protein-protein interactions, 2) why it is useful to be able to predict them with a computer, and 3) the general principles involved. The only wikipedia article I have ever seen with 150 references was on Rathergate, and that because it is so controversial. You should aim for no more than a dozen, preferably review articles from easy to read journals like Current opinions in ______. You also need to review the Manual of Style and become more familiar with writing wiki-like articles. My recommendation is that you voluntarily withdraw the article and copy it into your user space (see WP:USER.) User pages are a great way to work on a complex article or figure out how to write a wiki article and they are not subject to (most of) the content guidelines of main article space.

• Delete per Thatcher131, who didn't vote delete, but I agree with the principles, if that makes sense. Tim, it looks like you have a broad perspective on the literature for a field that isn't covered by Wikipedia well enough. Rather than try to add all your knowledge at once, why don't you start with smaller articles on individual methods? The narrower the topic of an article, the easier it is to avoid original research while tying it together. Once you've built such a foundation, it would be relatively easy to write an article named "Protein-protein interaction prediction" that links to the more specialized methods and draws on only a couple of secondary reviews.

note: Zargulon the article states that folding docking methods are currently unworkable on a genome wide scale because the best algorithms from CASP are given a month to find one fold. Taking 50,000 months to fold the proteins of a genome and then 2500000000 months for docking (assuming the same time frame for a single prediction) after only 7 days to sequence it is to slow for use.--Tim 02:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

It is not because the CASP experiments give a month that the servers take a month to make a prediction, with the threading techniques a model is built in half an hour to a few hours, this varies with the length of the target sequence and whether homologues are known or not. If there is no known homologues, only ab initio techniques can be used and are restricted to small sequences, although the fragment approach is being developed with promising results. In addition, you are assuming that the genome wide experiment would be done on one machine, whereas this would be a massively parallel work. The servers involved in CASP are often clusters that are able to work on several targets in the same time. The limitations are more from the theoretical point of view, e.g. better potential energy functions, better detection of remote homologues... By the way, I can't find where the article states that folding docking methods are unworkable because of the time used for folding prediction algorithms, there is no mention of CASP either? Blastwizard 05:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I am staring at that section of the article, and it does not state what you just said it states. Rather, its implication is that folding and docking will always be unworkable. In fact is so badly written that I cannot begin to suppose what the intended meaning may have been. It also incorrectly categorizes docking and folding as "dynamics methods" - short for molecular dynamics? or dynamic programming? either way it's wrong. Most docking and folding methods do not use either technique. Even if you felt that truly representative literature search was beneath you, how much trouble would it have been to inform yourself by taking a quick look at the Wikipedia articles on protein structure prediction and protein-protein docking? Zargulon 04:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I hope the recent changes make the article more clear to you. You can of course contribute a solution as well as pointing out a problem. in any case, thanks for the help. --Tim 17:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

They don't. All you did to the docking/folding section was wikify it.. how is that supposed to make it "more clear"? I have already contributed a solution. Deleting the article is an excellent solution, because it will disabuse people of the wrong belief that there is a meaningful entry on protein interaction prediction, so that maybe some people will write one. It is not constructive to take an important page and fill it with gibberish. If you can't do any better, you should wait patiently for someone else to. Zargulon 17:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Well I agree to disagree with you on that point because I believe nothing is ever perfect and everything is a work in progress and should be respected as such until updated with a better version. I believe this article provides at least some hints as to what PPIP is, how it works and how to find more in-depth information on the topic. I can not see that a blank page (however perfectly blank) is better than what information is provided. --Tim 07:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

No, there are a lot of things which do not deserve respect. Respect has to be earned. Please allow this page to be deleted and started from scratch.. that will earn you my respect. Zargulon 10:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This article is full of errors, inaccuracies and dreams from the author. Protein-protein docking does not work with predicted models but with structures solved by X-ray crystallography, if the rest of the article is the same type of fantasy, there is a lot of cleaning up. The description of threading for protein folding prediction is a bit funny. The sequence method described assumes the contiguity of residues involved in interactions, if patterns were to be found. I also object the wrong use of many terms, for example the active site is certainly not the site of interaction between two proteins. The best we can do is predict the residues that may be involved in interactions, providing that both the structures are known the rest is pure speculations. So far I don't know anyone who knows about proteins who would venture yet in such a hard problem. What is the point of an article on a method that is unworkable? Wikipedia is not for original research, there are peer reviewed journals for that Blastwizard 01:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

{{sofixit}} There are plenty of secondary souces to be found to support anything that is not original research. Cleanup is not a reason for deletion and neither is it being unworkable. kotepho 09:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

That is disingenuous. This article doesn't have to be cleaned up, it has to be started again from scratch. This is best indicated to potential editors by deleting it. Zargulon 10:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think fixing this article is a good idea, sometimes when a car is not roadworthy, the best thing is to scrap it and get a new one; that's my medication for this article. May I suggest instead that someone adds a few lines on the perspectives offered in protein-protein docking (but no more than a few lines) that is all there is to say.

• Delete; While this is a valid topic, the concerns raised by Blastwizard are troubling, and worse, Tim@ (talk • contribs) has resorted to minor-league talk page spamming to bring his article to peoples' attention. In the best manner possible, I'm trying to avoid WP:BITE because it seems he's making a genuine attempt to contribute in an area of his interest, but with the more speculative nature of this article than some may realize it falls under OR.  RasputinAXP  c 01:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless it undergoes major revisions per Blastwizard. The use of references is rather odd. A lot of the papers seem to be completely unrelated, remove every thing that doesn't relate directly to the text (e.g. the first 3 papers listed). Tim, I think the first thing you want to look at is to make specific citations in the text, to references you think support your claims. I might want to have a look at some of the things I think look sketchy, but I don't want to read 30 papers just to edit this page. I think you have to be careful not to confuse docking of experimentally determined structures with docking of proteins without a known structure. I would be highly critical of results from the latter, so this requires good references! Kjaergaard 06:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

  • The author has no clue about the field nor has he a clue about biology. If it was an exam paper it would have a very bad mark, if it was a scientific publication it would be rejected by the reviewers. I have looked at the article in details and made my comments are in the article talk page. In addition, looking at the history of the article, it looks like it started as a copy from a book, was somewhat well written and well referenced but obviously written by someone else.

He is a prominent figure within the drum n' bass subculture however, and fulfils many of the criteria for "performers outside of mass media" under WP:MUSIC. Agreed that the text is too promotional though.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.173.155.74 (talk • contribs)..

User's first and only edit. Daniel Case 17:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

sorry if that somehow invalidates what I was trying to say, I simply noticed I could add my viewpoint to this page so I did.

...

I have no promotional interest in his music. I'm simply a fan who finds his music to be quite impressive at this point. DNB artists that achieve great commercial success and almost a universal acclaim from dnb pundits is a pretty rare thing, and he's been achieving that lately. I tried to be as objective as possible in the description of the music, pointing out some elements that people might not outright like about his music. But once again, I have no promotional connection at all. I see tons of wikipedia artist profiles that are way more in love with the content than this one.

Also, I just edited the "future music" section so it sounds less promotional and more...constructive. hope that helps this a bit.

It's kind of hard to present notability because the media existing to judge an artists notability or notoriety within drum and bass, is usually all web-based. But judging from his record sales within the genre, and judging from the response from followers of the sub-culture on the two main web outlets, dogsonacid.com and breakbeat.co.uk, he is probably the most quick selling, and one of the most respected popular artists within the genre right now. Unfortunately with drum and bass, there arent many mainstream media outlets that I can refer to his notability such as there is within pop music. -Sianspheric

[edit] The Secular Party of Australia

As far as I can tell, this is a non-notable minor Australian party. I was going to nominate the article for speedy deletion, but I think that's stretching the speedy deletion criteria to their limits. Proposed deletion is a no go because at least someone will probably object to the listing. So here is the AfD reasoning ...

The party appears to get only 61 google hits, but not counting repeated hits the party only gets 21 google hits, many of which are either wikipedia-related or blogs. It cannot have participated in any major elections because of its age, but I could only find one minor media mention, where it appeared to conduct a single survey. The party is far from notable now, and appears not to have made an impact on the Australian political scene. I sympathise with many of its views, but I believe it does not deserve a wikipedia article ... yet. Graham/pianoman87 talk 11:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The fact that advertisements for the party's policies appeared in Prime Time last year offers it some significance to escape deletion [38] Lefty on campus 08:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC).
• Keep. I have recently been asked to support this party and I do not. While I support its views, I think these have to be worked through with the larger parties. I do not have an axe to grind here. This is a very new Party. The article is clear and concise. Lets give it a chance. If the Party turns out to be a dud, then we can delete it later. Meanwhile, some people might want to learn something about it and this article does that. I suspect it will get more Google hits as the year progresses but whether it will grow as a Party I do not know. It might well be a notable Party by the end of the year. Why waste the effort that someone has put into this article? --Bduke 11:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

* delete it now and restart it later if it turns out not to be a dud. --Isolani 00:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nn now, and since Wikipedia is not a wait and see how it turns out kinda place. Eivind 11:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. Appears to be very new tiny party. Not every group of people who label themselves a party is automatically notable. Wikipedia shouldn't have articles just in case the subject becomes notable. Weregerbil 12:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. At least for now, it is nn. I was able to find one mention of the party in an editorial in the Australian:"Last year, Sydney activist John Goldbaum paid for a series of TV commercials on the theme Keep Religion Out of Politics. Now he's formed the Secular Party of Australia." Perhaps once the movement starts and fields some candidates it will be wiki-worthy. But for now, it's nn. (I think that the principle behind WP:NFT might be extended to this.) Bucketsofg 15:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. The Party may be small and it may not yet have got traction, but the issues it raises are very notable right now in Australia and readers of WP may well want to know what this Party stands for even if, like me, they chose to follow these issues in other ways. Give it a bit of time. It is usefull information. --Bduke 21:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The Australian Electoral Commission maintains a register of Australian political parties - these guys are not on it. [39]. A search of an Australian and New Zealand database came up with nothing about this party at all. To my knowledge, these guys have not stood candidates for anything. This article gives no evidence of activity other than outlining the number of Australians who don't have any religious beliefs. These guys are unverifiable.

• Keep. I believe that active political parties are inherently notable. Xtra 08:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. What is the process of starting a political party in Australia? Do you need some number of signatures or members? Or can anyone just declare "I'm a party", or just file some paperwork? How many members does this party have? All I can find with google is four people who have a web site; very little media coverage. Weregerbil 11:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

To become registered I think you need 500 signatures. Xtra 11:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I vote to keep because a politicial party is as much a state of mind as it is a legal entity. In Australia, in order to become a political party recognised under law, you have to jump through many hoops but that even if not recognised by law that doesn't make them any less of a political party under a democracy. Anyone can set up a party, there is just a system of registration available to those who wish to seek it. If they do, they get benefits like money for election funding and their party name can be printed along side their candidates name. Are they notable enough ? That's where Xtra's point comes in probably, they may be a very lame wing of the Humanist Society in NSW but they are probably inherently notable. --2006BC 00:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

      • The Democratic Labor Party is battling to keep its registration. If they lose registration, they'd still be notable I reckon. Registration just means you've got 500 people to sign a form and agree to be members. --2006BC 08:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete. Wikipedia is not an advertising platform for political parties. Sumthingweird says "The more complete Wikipedia's information is, the better"... but we don't have any actual information here, because the only source is the party's website, which is unreliable.

[edit] Bible und Muhammed

A very, very confusing article formerly known as Islam in the Bible, which at least made some sense as a title. Hard to do this justice, but basically it seems to be about a genuine encyclopaedic topic, Islam and Christianity, that has been spread over a walled garden of articles including Bible und Muhammed, Islamic view of the Bible, Islamic Christianity studies and others, most of which bear the hallmark of User:Striver. This one, though, is so full of mostly unintelligible unsourced and/or original research and/or exotic forms of POV that I' wouldn't know what parts could be usefully merged somewhere. Sandstein 11:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Rename back I dont know who or why they reneamed it, but they shouldent. Can a admin rename it back to Islam in the Bible? Ill try to find sources, its not origina reaserch, i spent a lot of time in this field reading articles in sites like answering chritianity and the book Islam in the Bible. I made mental notes of everyting, but ill go back to the sources and link them. Otherwise strong keep. Thanks for sharing your concerns.--Striver 11:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Er, sorry, but I took a look at the websites that are linked to as "sources". And let me tell you, I don't think it's a good sign if one source chosen at random begins: "The following is an email I received from brother Silent Wisdom" and then rambles on in terrible English about something that, while not quite clear, consists largely of quotes from the Bible and the Qur'an trying to show how they connect. Or another whose title is, in what I assume is 150 point size type, "The lie of the crucifixion!". Indeed, all "sources" that are not Bible verse links go to [42], which at first glance is one individual's ranting website about how the Bible is supposed to prove that Islam is the true religion.

Don't get me wrong: I am completely in favor of having an article on how Islam views Christianity, or on why Muslims think the Bible proves that Islam is the true religion. But this rambling, unintelligible mess of WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:NOR violations is not it. Or in other words, if we don't have the Wikipedia term of art "religioncruft" already, now we have it. Best regards, Sandstein 19:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The very title "Islam in the Bible" to which some editors have proposed to rename the article back is horribly POV, as it reflects the Muslim POV by stating as fact that there is indeed some Islam in the Bible. This view is ridiculous for any Jewish, Christian, or secular scholar, who all believe that Islam emerged only in the 7th century, much later than the Bible assumed its current shape. Pecher ^Talk 21:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Exactly. The title reflects the existing POV (not to be confused with wikipedian's POV, the one forbidden by WP:NPOV). Reporting a POV is perfectly valid in wikipedia articles. mikka (t) 21:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but the problem with the title is that it presents an existing POV without attribtuion. Had it been called "Islamic view of the Bible", the would be no problem about it. But hey, we already have an article Islamic view of the Bible, why have two? Pecher ^Talk 20:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

How is it pov? The aritcle name does not say there IS Islam in the Bible. It could just as well be read "Islam [is not] in the bible" as well as "Islam [is] In the Bible".--Striver 21:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment No, in fact it could not be read that way, don't be disingenuous. If the article is kept, another name would be appropriate. Esquizombi 22:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

What i mean is that it does not state that Islam is in the bible. Its like talking about "cookies in the jar", it is a valid frase even if the jar is empty. One could say there are cookies in it, and a critique could counter that there are no cookies in it. --Striver 23:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment I think "cookies in the jar" would in fact mean cookies are in the jar (any grammarians here?). Anyway, I'm not sure it's a good analogy, because a jar (particularly a cookie jar) would be expected to have cookies in it at times, whereas the claim that islam is in the bible is a controversial one.

  • "Islamic view" is a wider topic. While the one in question may be incorporated, just the same it may be kept separate. that's how wikipedia works: subtopics are spawned into separate article, and voce versa is done only for pitiful stubs. mikka (t) 05:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heidi Choat

I have concerns about this article because it purports to be about a living person and a lot of unreferenced and unverifiable allegations are made. There is only one relevant Google hit, an archive of sex offenders which only states her name, age and sentence [44]. This site is the only online reference cited in the article. The rest of the Google hits appear to be about a West Wing character. There are also no hits for legal documents containing the name in any database on AustLii. [45] In addition to this, given the lack of online references, I question whether it meets notability standards. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Does Wikipedia have a special policy concerning paedophilia offenders? Because if there is none this seems an overwhelmingly non-notable criminal (per google). Does Wikipedia treat sex offenders differently from, say, crack dealers? (Assuming otherwise non-famous non-serial-type one-time criminals which this seems to be.) Weregerbil 13:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Being a paedophile doesn't establish notability. Wikipedia is not newspaper column about criminality. There are no special policies about paedophilie offenders but common sense says it is not worth of being encyclopedia topic. Pavel Vozenilek 13:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. With due respect, Pavel, the article does not cite Choat's paedophilia as the reason for her notability. A detailed explanation of the notability of her case is provided in the concluding paragraph. It is her case even more than the woman herself which is notable. --SilverWings 23:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable criminal. Googling for "heidi choat" teacher gives two mentions besides Wikipedia and a West Wing character, does not appear to be a subject of media attention (though this was in 1999 and the Web was smaller then, so Australians please chime in if this was a major case and a household name!).

• Keep. I am the original author of the article. I have now provided references for this article - as a busy student, this was simply a work in progress (as is the case with many Wikipedia articles, often unreferenced and often with significantly less content than this one). The concluding paragraph carefully provides reasons for the notability of this subject and it is surely tortuous to suggest that this has not been established. Wikipedia:Notability_(people) guidelines include the criterion: "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". One might argue about the level of notability / notoriety established, but this case is significant within the specific genre to which it belongs within Australian criminal law and is cited in the consideration of other such cases. This subject is an increasingly frequent matter being dealt with by courts in US and Australian jurisdictions particularly, and certain trends are emerging of which this case forms a significant part. Any person studying the emergence of female paedophilia in Australian schools would welcome this and similar articles as providing a reliable source of information. The fact that the article provides few Google hits is explained by the fact that the case occurred at a time when online reportage was not extensive. This fact might also be used to support the inclusion of this article in Wikipedia, since it will provide the only significant online resource about this case. The lack of hits on AustLii is explained by the fact that AustLii only reports on (Australian) High Court, state Supreme Court and Federal Court cases, not cases dealt with by lower level courts in state jurisdictions. I request that the deletion tag on this article please be removed. --SilverWings 22:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment In my opinion your referencing (a short database entry and a hardcopy article) is not sufficient for an article which makes serious allegations about a living person. I still do not believe notability has been established per WP:BIO. As an Australian myself, I do not believe this person is renowned or notorious. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 22:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Under the heading 'People still alive', WP:BIO refers to "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". This case was published as the headline article on the front page of the state newspaper of the state (Queensland) in which it occurred, the article being of sufficient length that it was continued on an inside page. The fact that the case does not register ongoing notoriety does not detract from the fact that it was notorious at the time it occurred and that it has ongoing significance within the genre of such cases. I am glad that you state that "in [your] opinion" the referencing is not sufficient, because a reading of the newspaper article in question will provide ample evidence of the facts to which I have referred. That is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fact for anyone who will go to the trouble of accessing and reading the article, which could be done at any state or university library in Australia. --SilverWings 22:45, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment You do not seem to understand what I mean by referencing. A person should not have to go to a library to verify the content in the article. I think the fact you are suggesting this establishes the person is nn. As does the fact you are only able to point to one newspaper article. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 22:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I am indeed not sure what you mean by referencing, if referencing cannot include items widely held in libraries. WP:RS dos not indicate that only online sources may be cited. Referencing to print and microform sources is still an established practice in academia, research and writing, despite the increasing prevalence of online sources. To suggest that a person "should not have to go to a library" is denying the importance of what is still a major source of information in our community and intellectual life. I am not sure why more than one source is required, if that source is significant, reliable and verifiable. --SilverWings 23:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment I am not saying that only online sources can be used. I'm suggesting that if this woman is a notable or notorious criminal, there would be some online references to her. I have general concerns about the fact you appear to think tacking adding a hardcopy article and a database entry at the end of the article is sufficient referencing for an article which is potentially defamatory. Also, the photo appears to be identical to the image on Mako (it even appears to have the same creases). This makes me wonder what is going on. If you are from Mako and you did indeed scan that image and make that entry, Mako should be discounted as a reference for the purpose of this discussion. If you are not from Mako and you did not scan the image, you should correct your "self-scanned" copyright declaration. Regardless, I do not feel comfortable with you hanging this article on one single newspaper article. This is my final comment on this page. I shall leave it in the trustworthy hands of the AfD people. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I feel that your use of the term 'tacking' in regard to my reference is a slight to my skills as a writer, and do not appreciate it. The use of the neutral term 'adding' would be preferable. The article would only be defamatory if it were not based on any verifiable sources, so there is no concern there. In regard to the photo: I am indeed definitely not 'from' Mako, nor do I have any connection with or interest in that organization. I would suggest that the similarity in the images is due to their having scanned it from the same microform source as I did, albeit no doubt a different copy of the microform. Thank you for your interest in my articles, and for conducting a (generally) civil discussion. --SilverWings 23:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I'm sorry but there are serious concerns about defamation and Jimbo has repeatedly asked us to err on the side of caution when dealing when living people. You saying it's not defamatory because you have one newspaper article means nothing. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for Jimbo's comments (who's Jimbo, by the way? pardon my ignorance, but I'm not yet on first-name terms with (presumably) administrators here. Can you reference him too please?) Now, as to the newspaper article, I don't 'have' the article, it exists, free for all to access, in probably 300+ libraries in Australia and probably dozens of others around the world. All of the material facts in this article are drawn from the newspaper article, so there is nothing in Wikipedia which has not already been said elsewhere. In regard to conclusions drawn, these are only factual extrapolations from the facts of the case, and do not make value judgments about the individual concerned, so there is no basis for any defamation action. If other evidence was available, I would have cited that too. I would observe, by the way, that The Courier-Mail seems to be a newspaper which withdraws its online articles much earlier than most newspapers - you will probably find that some of thie links where it is cited for other articles are already dead - hence my desire to add print references as well, in the long term. --SilverWings 22:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Weregerbil. I think the lack of on-line references does suggest a lack of noteriety. The conviction was in 1999; there were plenty of online sources by then. --Thunk 23:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. A search of Australian and New Zealand newspapers via a database came up with nothing although it may not go back that far.

(2) The fact that she "is...not well known in Australia" presumably means that Capitalistroadster has not heard of her; this would be true of many, many Wikipedia articles of a specialist nature, while not addressing the fact that, for those who are interested in the field concerned, this case is significant. (3) The sentiment that "she should be left free to live the rest of her life", while a fine idea on a human level, is not really an argument foror against deletion of this article; that logic could be applied to any criminal, and also fails to consider the fact that her victim would no doubt have liked to be left free to get on with his life, but is unlikely to forget these events. An additional extension of some of my earlier observations, also, would ask editors to consider the basic function of Wikipedia in this way: if lack of numerous online references to a subject be considered reason for deletion of an article, where does this leave Wikipedia as a repository of unique online knowledge as opposed to simply a convenient clearing house for organizing information which is already online? --SilverWings 04:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Further comment. I refer editors to this discussion on the Talk page of Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which suggests that non-notability is a contentious issue with many grey areas. Surely where an article is the product of serious research and writing and addresses a genuine subject, inclusion rather than exclusion is justified. I also further note that some of the Wikipedians voting for deletion seem to be prominent advocates of deletion of many articles, and I am troubled that people would want to go around destroying the legitimate work of others. --SilverWings 13:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

comment One newspaper article is not "serious research". If it had been seriously researched and referenced I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Your definition of serious research therefore requires quantity rather than quality? That, in fact, seems to be the main thrust of your original basis for listing this article for deletion - that there wasn't enough of various things, rather than looking at the quality of what was there. My own view on life leads me to look at how full the cup is, rather than how empty, and this of course leads me to be an Inclusionist rather than a Deletionist. There are really two issues going on here, and I think they need to be kept separate: (1) the quality (or quantity?) of referencing, verifiability etc; and (2) the notability / worthiness of the subject for inclusion no matter what the nature of the referencing. I have addressed both of these above, and won't labour the point further. Sarah Ewart, I don't see that your comment here adds anything to what you have already said, does it? --SilverWings 12:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Featured heavily in state papers at the time; these articles may not have online references. In any case, neither count of newspaper articles nor Google hits define notability. - Synapse 06:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Additional: Victorians should remember the more recent case of Karen Louise Ellis, which was very similar and was the subject of much debate in Victoria. - Synapse 06:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

comment And the Ellis case received extensive verifiable news coverage. The Ellis case gets thousands of relevant Google hits. This gets two. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Again, verifiability seems to require, by this standard, a certain quantity of sources without much regard for the quality of the sources. Remoteness in time is an adequate explanation for the comparative dearth of material on Choat compared with Ellis; historians constantly face this issue, and historical writing may be validly based upon a single source provided the source is comparatively reliable. The front page of the Queensland state newspaper would seem to be as reliable a source as could be under the circumstances, save possibly access to court papers which, given the nature of the case, are unlikely to be publicly available. --SilverWings 12:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Newsworthy. Oarias 18:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. She's not individually notable. I would however be perfectly happy for all of these to be merged into a summary article on female sex offenders in Australia as there is undoubtedly some good writing here. --kingboyk 04:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. The Choat case is a vital link in any comprehensive treatment of the subject of sexually predatory female school teachers, and if it is deleted the remaining articles on the subject become less meaningful. I would not necessarily be against the suggestion of kingboyk to merge the relevant articles into an article on Australian female teacher paedophiles (or a similar article heading - I would probably prefer 'sexual predators' to 'paedophiles', as I believe it is more accurate in describing the motivation for these offences, though it is longer), as I had intended (in time) to write a supervening article tying the individual articles together; it might be more cumbersome to have everything together in one place, but it might avoid the constant worrying over notability which is upsetting some of the deletionists. I would prefer to have the separate articles remain and to eventually tie them together with a more general article; but I do not live on Wikipedia, and this would be something which would happen over a period of time. --SilverWings 12:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This belongs on Wikinews at best. It's unencyclopedic, and in need of a massive de-tabloiding and NPOVing. Stifle 23:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

While I, naturally, disagree with your 'delete' recommendation, I am willing to learrn and would appreciate any explanation you may care to make about your evaluations, in respect of how they apply to this article; particularly the terms 'unencyclopedic', 'de-tabloiding' and 'NPOVing' (I understand what these terms mean, but I don't see how they apply to this article, so would be interested in your explanation). Please leave your comments either here or on my Talk page. --SilverWings 22:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I appreciate the interest and support of those Wikipedians and admins who see merit in this article. I want to stress that I have not contacted any of the people who have responded seeking their support, and genuinely appreciate the encouragement no matter the outcome. I would like to observe, by way of probably fairly final comment since the period for submission on this AfD is nearly over, that I do see the debate over this article as somewhat symptomatic of the larger debate in Wikipedia between inclusionists and deletionists. I wish there was not such a debate, to be quite honest. I would rather have invested the time spent on this page in more positive efforts actually writing or revising articles. The difficulty I have here is that, for inclusionists, we can spend hours on writing something only to have it destroyed in a moment; whereas deletionists will have no such concerns, since presumably they will stick so strictly to a narrower interpretation of what should be included that they will never chance to write something about a more obscure topic. (When I use the term 'more obscure', I do not mean 'less worthy'; it is simply the case that while, for example, John Lennon will attract widespread interest, Ha Ri-su will be of interest to but a few, particularly in the English-speaking world). Can I be really provocative, discover if deletionists have a sense of humour about their viewpoint, and suggest that deletionism is actually a form of legitimized vandalism? In case someone takes too much exception to this comment, I hasten to state the obvious, that I am speaking somehwat tongue-in-cheek there - and yet my feelings, as opposed to my intellect, resonate with my suggestion. The beauty of Wikipedia, unlike print encyclopaedias, is that we are not constrained by the physical size of the published work, and this site can continue to grow to encompass the full range of human endeavours, accomplishments, deeds and misdeeds as well as every feature of the universe in which we live. I therefore would appeal to those inclined to delete the works of others to re-think and to adopt a policy of "live and let live", and to delete only patent nonsense and material which is clearly false.

In regard to this present article, I would suggest that it has found a significant readership among those researching more recent such cases which have featured in news reports, and if allowed to remain as part of a small but growing project on this topic, it will continue to do so. By nature, the subject of female teachers dealing with their students in the way that this lady and others like her have done has an interest, indeed perhaps a fascination in some cases, for many members of the community. Readers approaching Wikipedia for information on this subject will find an increasingly comprehensive treatment, and as on so many topics, Wikipedia will be the first online authority, gathering information from a range of print and electronic sources and synthesising it in one location. I would suggest that a deletionist approach will only render more distant the day when online researchers perhaps no longer make Google their first avenue of investigation, but rather turn straight to Wikipedia. Is this not what we would want for this amazing online resource? This is only one article we are discussing, but I believe this debate represents much more. Thank you all for your time. --SilverWings 13:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete. This article is a duplicate of Rules of the road, from where large sections were copied on 11 February 2006.

Agreed, but over 90% of the existing article is about the left/right issue, so the history of that 90% must stay with the article. Therefore you can't just cut and paste 90% of the content to a new article and leave 10% with the history of the other 90%. That's against the guidelines at Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages#How_to_rename_a_page, where it says "Do not move or rename a page by copying/pasting its content, because doing so destroys the edit history". NFH 22:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

This article is just a duplicate of CHIN (AM) and CHIN-FM. There is no need for a 3rd article. Atrian 15:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Having considered this a bit, I think CHIN radio should be kept as the main article, the content of the other two articles should be merged into it, and the AM and FM articles should be made into redirects.
