[edit] Boudoir

Delete: Nothing more than a dictionary definition, and boudoir already has an entry in Wiktionary. Ljlego 16:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 18:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep; stub notice indicates non-trivial potential for expansion. Monicasdude 19:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• No it doesn't. Delete dicdef. Eivind^speak! 23:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: per nom. Since it's already in wiktionary, nothing will be lost by deleting it and it can be recreated if further expansion is possible. Stub notice could just as easily mean that someone thought the article was too short as opposed to a carefully-placed notice of future expansion plans (that will likely never occur considering the original notice was placed upon creation almost eleven months ago). —Wknight94 (talk) 23:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Category:Rooms should be comprehensive. Hawkestone 02:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I can't countenance discriminating against this room when we have around 80 articles in category:rooms. -- JJay 11:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yeah but it looks like quite a few of those are already real articles with content outside of a simple definition. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Some of them have extensive content now and some of them do not. Of course, none of them started life that way, a fine example being kitchen, which began like this [5] and survived in that state for some months. I would not have argued for the deletion of kitchen, which would have then made it a candidate for csd, any more than I will seek the removal of other verifiable rooms, such as boudoir, all of which can eventually make fine articles. -- JJay 21:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment- I would like to respond to some people who say that this article can be expanded. I say more power to you all. If you can find some information making this article worthy of an encyclopedic entry, then, by all means, post it here. I'm not against this article, I simply believe that, as of this moment, there is nothing that can salvage this article as a room. A Google Search reveals nothing pertaining to the room boudoir, simply many antiquity/room furnishing sites.--Ljlego 01:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• UPDATE: A quick count of the votes indicates that the "score" is 5-3 in favor of deletion, plus one comment leaning towards deletion. Final score is 5 -3.

[edit] Btcartoons

It was prodded (for promoting article creator's website). Original editor simultaneously deprodded, vandalized and said it could be deleted. I reverted it for vandalism to before the prod because the origianl author has the right to deprod, and listed it here.

[edit] Bugging the UN

• Delete or Merge...somewhere...The article is essentially a fork. Jersey Devil 16:56, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with something (I don't know quite what). It is notable, but only within the context of another UN article with more meat. --BWD ^(talk) 17:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename. The episode is probably complex enough that if it were merged elsewhere it would bloat it unreasonably. But the name 'bugging the UN' is absurd. Bucketsofg 18:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — Yes the name needs addressing. — RJH 19:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If bugging the UN isn't meaty, what is? But it could be renamed to Bugging the Security Council or similar for precision. 80.62.76.227 01:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as this is a major event for UN-US/UK relations. It shows that NSA is used to spy on much more than just enemy activity, and that no morale apparently is applied since spying was used to further political agendaes. We should NOT hide this major incident in obscure subsections in other articles. A human 03:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: It sounds a little sensationalized. And surveillance of diplomats is not really unexpected, although I imagine it's a violation of something. And the title is awful; maybe NSA UN diplomat electronic surveillance? Does the media have a catchy name for it? Peter Grey 08:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename - not the best name ever --Larsinio 21:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease

Article's creator is affiliated with the product/company and is spamming Wikipedia with this, other product articles, and product pictures. Crumbsucker 08:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating these related pages for spam from the same person:

• Paula Abdul Cardio Cheer.
• Envy Series

Delete all. Crumbsucker 08:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Request Sasperilla provide free copies of DVDs to all WP users who request them (to better the article, natch), and userfy Carmen Electra herself to my house if she's willing. As for the article, I had actually seen the product advertised on TV and/or maybe one of the late night hosts showed clips and commented on it. It has gotten some coverage e.g. http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/maximgirls/covergirls/59/carmen_electra.html It is on IMDb. I wish there were a WP policy on movies/videos, in the absence of one, I'm not sure. At a minimum smerge to Carmen Electra, possibly keep. The Envy Series, at most smerge and redirect to Kara Monaco (not on IMDb, three ghits[6]). Esquizombi 10:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• I second the motion and would be willing to review the DVDs for notability on behalf of Wikipedia. I am an admin, after all! I look forward to receiving them shortly. Thank you. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Your devotion to duty is nothing short of remarkable, so I will remark on it (later). Also I will point out that while I'm not an admin, I too am willing to sacrifice my free time in this onerous review duty if it would help matters any. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 11:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, advertising. "Uploaded by copywrite holder. www.cardiocheer.com" says Image:Carmen Wiki.jpg which I was of course checking only for technical reasons (cough). Smerge She is notable, of course, but the article doesn't have much going for it. A small section in her article ought to cover it. Wait, there's more? Delete the other two; cheerleaders are generally not notable, nor is a DVD by a Playmate. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, advertising. Bhoeble 16:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all as ad. --Terence Ong 16:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (Electra only). Heavy publicized and reported, especially on TV talk shows, seems to be consistently high-selling (top 500) at Amazon, apparently notable commercial product. And Electra wasn't a Playmate, but a protege of Prince with a modestly but clearly notable career before her immodestly notable career. Notable trash remains notable. As for the other two, delete, salvaging a minimal Cardio mention for the Abdul article. Monicasdude 19:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Until a more careful review of the evidence has been carried out in a darkened room, I'm going to have to go with merge though. The thrust of these articles seems to be to get a rise out of buyers. As another editor said, "a small section ought to cover it"... Keep the important bits, drop the naughty bits and update the star articles directly. Leave a redirect behind where it makes sense. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per terence ong --Khoikhoi 04:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Elektra and Abdul articles. Notable video series, widely available, by notable performers. If there's too much ad copy, be bold and revise it. No vote regarding Envy as I've never heard of it before. 23skidoo 04:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the small percentage of non-advertising content of this page with the Carmen Electra article.
• Delete as ad. All content already in bio page. Ghosts&empties 09:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. This is an ad. --mmeinhart 23:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. All useful content is already in the bio pages. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) ( T | C | A ) 14:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charlotte Arps

This person seems, to me, very non-notable. There were over 3500 Nazi female guards, and the first line seems to say it all: "Little is known about Charlotte Arps". If all that is known is her birthdate, occupation and jail service, then she seems nn, even if a lot of other seemingly minor female nazis are listed under the category. Also note zero relevant Google hits.Bayberrylane 02:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. A Google search only brings back this wikipedia entry and many mirrors. There is no way to expand this biography. As such, she is non-notable. --BWD ^(talk) 03:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nn-bio. --Terence Ong 04:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn-bio--Looper5920 05:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep first time I've heard of a female nazi before. --Masssiveego 05:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• You've never heard of Eva_Braun? Monkeyman^(talk) 05:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

There's a whole list at Category:Female Nazis, if you're interested. Some of these, btw, may be candidates for deletion under nn as well. Bayberrylane 15:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete article doesn't state notability. Eivind ^Speak! 07:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable bio. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn.--Jersey Devil 16:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nn-bio. AndyZ 19:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Go gently, people; AfDs on highly charged topics, like Nazis, can really ruffle people's feathers. Some of the above votes assert non-notability based on no information whatsoever; that's probably inappropriate. -ikkyu2 (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, there were lots of such cases. She is not listed in the German Wikipedia. I think someone started with the category "Personnel of Nazi concentration camps" and then filled out the biographies with what little was known. ProhibitOnions 21:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn --Khoikhoi 03:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete potentially interesting with more sources howver. --Larsinio 20:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Although there were hundreds or thousands of women who worked in the camps, the fact that she was arrested for those crimes makes her notable. I say keep and expand. ExRat 08:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian-ism

Neologism: christian-ism is a religion loosely based on the teachings of Jesus, but doesn't necessary adhere to all of the teachings of Jesus. possible attack. per a note on the author's talk page, this has been deleted twice already, so this time it's delete and protect. bikeable (talk) 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, this changes my opinion. Unless referances can be found, I agree with the delete and protect vote. 66.236.0.12 22:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (registering as Grinnblade when I get off school computers)

Just for reference, here's my original comment on the talk page.

I don't think this needs to be SD'd -- while it is by no means a decent article right now, it sounds plausible -- that is, this article does not sound like patent nonsense to me. I added the cleanup and stub tags, though. 66.236.0.12 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (will register as Grinnblade when I get home).

Redirect to Christianity. Google does return a large number of results on this term; but as far as I can see, it's usually used synonymously with Christianity. ~ Booyabazooka 23:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

A large number? Google for "christian-ism" gets me just over 100 unique results, which is pretty paltry, and there does not appear to be much logic to their use in the way described. bikeable (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, my bad, without a hyphen it's quite popular -- for some reason I missed that. Looks like a synonym for Christianity, so redirect is ok. bikeable (talk) 23:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Christianity per Booyabazooka. --Terence Ong 06:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The article doesn't currently establish the notability of subject or the importance of the particular suggested interpretation of Christian-ism. Googling on this topic failed to challenge my personal view that this patricular interpretation of Christian-ism is of limited importance and currency. Politepunk 09:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• delete per politepunk. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 15:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Having investigated the top 30 Google results for Christianism there's too much variety in the way this word is being used for a coherent article to be written. That some people are trying to coin this word to parallel Islamism is clear enough, but the article doesn't report that. I don't see this establishing itself, but if it does that will become clear in due course. For the moment, delete. JGF Wilks 16:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect As per Bikeable --Larsinio
• Redirect and protect as per nom. Sandstein 10:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and protect per nom. This is a neologism, no matter how you slice the pie. --Hyphen5 09:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect, per above - While googling does not necessarily indicate that "Christianism" is precisely the same as "Christianity," I still feel that the redirect is appropriate.

[edit] Clemson University Football

Prodded, deprodded, improperly reprodded. Moving here as contested. User:JPD says "Nothing but a report from the NCAA, which isn't an approrpriate article whether it's copyrighted or not" No vote NickelShoe 20:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean notable, but the article should be more about the history of Clemson football, not just a press release. Eivind^speak! 23:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. A good article could be written about this. However, we have at the moment a media release. It would be better to redirect to Clemson University until such time as someone writes an article or even a stub. Would vote to keep even a decent stub.Capitalistroadster 02:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. The reason the article was "improperly" reprodded, rather than brought here, was because the notice was removed because the reasoning wasn't understood. I think it's fairly clear that the article as it is should be deleted, but if/when it is replaced by something decent (even a stub), there's no point even thinnking of deleting, which actually makes PROD a good place for it. The only question is: Is there anyone who will put something decent there? JPD (talk) 12:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this version, which is probably a copyvio, without prejudice to a proper article being created. Stifle 01:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Well, it's not a copyvio, at least it says it's not; however, it's still just a blatant copy-and-paste job from what looks like a press release. Needs a complete rewrite in order to be kept. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 21:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

No, you misunderstood: I proposed it for deletion as non-notable. This doesn't mean the article must say it's non-notable. If the article is kept, it would be good if you could clean it up a little; compare PvP for a good webcomic article. Best, Sandstein 11:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep If a regular feature on IGN (one of the biggest sites on the internet) that has spawned enough popularity to become an entire official website is not included in the biggest online encyclopedia, it is hard to say what IS worth mention.

• Speedy Delete The CEO of Masterfoods is NOT someone named Dick Raper; the name is an inappropriate hoax, including male genitalia and the act of rape.
  • That is incorrect, you are lying. Clearly you have made an assertion without correctly researching the facts. I suggest you swiftly retract your lie. CEO DR 14:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Way outta here! Crzrussian 07:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, was it written by Mike Rotch? -- Samir (the scope) 07:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per excellent argument raised by Politepunk. I couldn't find the names of managers on the Mars Inc. website, though -- Samir (the scope) 08:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Dick Raper does appear to be CEO of Masterfoods [11] who imo are a notable company and are adjudged to be worthy of an article. I think that we should avoid making a judgement about this article on the basis of Mr Raper's name and try and make it on the basis of his notability for an article. I suspect that someone who is CEO of a company with a 14 billion USD turnover is of sufficient standing within the business world to merit an article. In view of the scatalogical and sexual nature of many of the episodes of vandalism that appear on Wikipedia it is perhaps natural that we should assume that the article is a hoax, but in this case it appears not to be the case. I agree that it does need to be expanded at some point, but I thought it was important that the consensus on this one should be challenged. Politepunk 08:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I think that Thatcher131's research has now shown that he probably isn't (atm) sufficiently notable to warrant an article and I'm happy to change my vote accordingly. Other than his name, there is unlikely to be a good deal of public interest in him and thus he doesn't satisfy WP:BIO. (Tangentially: a case could be made that the WP:BIO criteria should be slightly expanded to include notable businesspeople.) Despite amending my vote I'm pleased that we considered the merits of Mr Raper's inclsion on the basis of his notability rather than on the basis of his name. Politepunk 08:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I know we live in the internet age, but couldn't somebody (who is in the US) do something old fashioned like walk into a library and check this out? Or call whoever keeps corporate records in the USA? Mr Raper's name comes up top in a Google for "masterfoods ceo" but most results are old, I'd think the most likely answer is that he's former CEO. --kingboyk 09:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I have access to Bloomberg People Directory. Mr Raper is indeed the current CEO of Masterfoods, and has been for the last several years, and prior to that had a successful career. This page shows the problem of consensus being deemed more important than knowledge of the matter. Just because someone doesn't come up in Google, doesn't mean they are not notable. Raper is interviewed in national magazines on a near-monthly basis, it's just that they don't reproduce all their articles onto Google. CEO DR 14:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Uhh.. reproduce all thier articles onto Google? Google is a search engine. If Dick Raper's name was that important and he was featured monthly in articles, he would probably get more than 1 google hit. Besides, there isn't enough information on Dick Raper to produce more than there already is. The only external link we have on him is from 2001. I suggest recreating the page when you have more information on him. Moe ε 15:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
      • By "reproduce" I meant there being an online version of the paper edition, eg reproduced online. Whilst newspapers may archive everything online, the business magazines Raper is featured in are more exclusive, like IFR magazine which costs $100 a copy, so obviously they won't put content up for free online. CEO DR 16:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Relooked and he has 64 total as shown in a link above. But there still isn't enough information there to sustain an article. Moe ε 15:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
        • As I said above Moe, not everything is on the net. It's quite possible indeed that this guy is featured in who's who books and business magazines which are not archived on the net. It's very worrying if Wikipedia editors think no net presence = does not exist. One word: library. --kingboyk 05:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep notable as shown by politepunk. Bucketsofg 15:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per politepunk. However, this article is in serious need of expansion if anyone is going to take it seriously. The start of the article should use his proper name (I'm assuming Richard) as the article on Bill Gates (and many others) does. I think we need a good dose of WP:AGF on this one. --Cymsdale 15:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete per Thatcher131's comments below. I felt he barely deserved an article as a non-notable CEO. Now he's apparently a non-notable, mid-level executive. --Cymsdale 10:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This guy appears to be notable only because of his name. It must be amusing to some to think "Hey, this guy really is named Dick Raper", but other than that, he's just another CEO. JIP | Talk 17:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Verified true, perhaps remove the last line, and expand on the rest.
  • Delete in light of recent info. --Irishpunktom\^talk 17:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - A search of Google proves Politepunk's point. While it is true that there is not enough information, perhaps it should instead be merged with Masterfoods until more information (perhaps from Mr. Raper (heheheheheh- sorry) himself) can be garnered. Also, obviously, the last line must be taken out.--Ljlego 18:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I was borderline to begin with, the only thing keeping me on was one article. However, I was thinking, and it doesn't seem correct to do so. Off with their heads!
• Partial verification Dick Raper was named European president of Masterfoods Europe in 2001, per Lexis/Nexis, after some time as president of Pedigree Masterfoods, Mars' pet food divison. Not the president of the entire Masterfoods/Mars empire. Thatcher131 20:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, though borderline case. Good name. ProhibitOnions 21:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE For what its worth, Raper is no longer president of Masterfoods Europe. He seems to have been reassigned to the US office of Mars to be in charge of personnel as of Jan 1, 2004. Don't know if that makes a difference in notability. Thatcher131 02:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• • Further update per the Hoover business directory, CEO of Mars Inc. is John Franklyn Mars, current president is Paul S. Michaels. In fact, nobody but a Mars family member has ever been CEO of the entire company. Current president of Masterfoods Europe is Pierre Laubies and has been since 2004, president of Masterfoods USA is Robert Gambort. I don't question CEO DR (talk • contribs) good faith but his "Bloomberg people directory" is out of date to say the least. I guarantee that the business school library where I work has every $100 business magazine he can think of so if he wants to post specific citations I will be happy to verify them in the real (offline) world.Thatcher131 05:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Previously AfDd here, the consensus to redirect lasted nearly two weeks before someone subverted it by re-creating the article at a different location.

Contains unsupported assertions (whaere is the proof that it is "the most widely used Ragnarok Online server emulator known today"? And in what way is that proof of notability? Should I write an article for my work shoes on the basis that they are my most widely used pair of shoes?), but most of all I am just sick to death of the constant re-creation after deletion or redirect of articles on trivial subjects for which a 100% informative treatment can be found at the website which pops up at the top of the Google list. This is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not a directory of every concept peripherally related to online gaming. However, the thing may have gronw since the last AfD and I don't want a revert war ove re-establishing the redirect, so I bring it back here. Just zis Guy you know? 09:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete/Redirect. That is Delete and re-establish redirect. The difference in content between old and new articles are very similar, so the old AfD result should stand. It is very hard to assume good faith in that it was accidental or misguided, and not an attempt to get past the original AfD result.--Blue520 10:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Effection:_Hellraiser

• The film obviously does not exist. - adnghiem501 07:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• IMDB doesn't have it which raises some flags -- Tawker 07:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I should note that an user Julian Thome who is listed in the crew is removing this AfD notice despite being warned. They were asked to provide a source that this is actually in production but so far has not. I have no problems keeping this article if a cite can be found but without it is a removal. -- Tawker 07:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as hoax... this is waaaay too fishy. Per the user and talk pages of this editor, it's evident that he is nothing more than a teenage vandal, and that this film is clearly some fantasy of his. Also, the same User:Julian Thome has been editing the article of pretty much every single person he's listed on this article to include "Effection"... some damage control and reversions needed there, IMHO. --Kinu ^t/_c 08:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

But then I am a snob. Average Earthman 19:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Many of the competitors on this show have managed careers after the series has ended. Josh Gracin, Bo Bice, Kimberley Locke, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken have all been on the charts and/or won major awards, and others (Tamyra Gray, George Huff, La Toya London, etc.) have released albums or had major roles on Broadway or film (Diana DeGarmo, Jennifer Hudson, Frenchie). If the article is going to be deleted on the criteria that the people on the show go on to failure, then I think this article should be kept. --JamesB3 07:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, unless the intent to delete pages on all other American Idol finalists. (AI is a real major music competition viz the 30+ million viewers who tune in to the program each week; no other competition comes close.) Is becoming a finalist the same as "won or placed" in a competition? I'd argue it is; the finalists, at least, have placed somewhere in the 1-12 area; some may turn out not to be notable, others likely will. Best to keep until we know for sure.

• Delete. Yes the person does compete on American Idol, but I wonder, do contestants from CBS's Survivor get their own pages?
• Keep. Every finalist in Idol is famous enough to have a page about them. The claim that this is "some non notable tv contestant" is absurd. It always pisses me off when I find information and notice someone wants to delete it. Lapinmies 07:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep He's a finalist on one of the most popular series in America (and unlike Survivor, there is a certain process where you go through semifinals, then the finals - the public votes for you to get to the finals), and many of the people who are finalists on this show go on to have a career in the entertainment industry, sometimes a very successful career, even if they don't win. I also don't think it's appropriate to propose this one article for deletion while not nominating any other American Idol season 5 finalists for deletion. If that means they are "notable", since they have not been nominated for deletion, then Yamin is just as notable. --JamesB3 07:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Best idea would probably be to keep individual pages for winners and/or those who have gone on to do something notable in their professional careers (for example Jennifer Hudson, a former contestant, who is playing the lead, Effie, in the film version of "Dreamgirls" starring Jamie Foxx and Beyonce Knowles) and merge the rest into a single page.

Considering that two or three of the "delete" comments are unsigned, I'm not sure about that.

The closest thing to notability that can be verified is "Shafeega, is the Deputy Managing Director, Capital Market Division of the Maldives Stock Exchange."

She halted trading and sent everybody home." There's another story or two about her at other dates.

[edit] Foreskin's Lament

Delete. The page is incoherent - while it now does seem to document an actual play, there is insufficient information available; the play, if it does exist, is hardly known of and does not warrant an individual page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paulus89 (talk • contribs).

• Delete. The content does not merit an article. --Wraith Daquell 04:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't even think this is a real play, but even so there is not enough information available to make it its own article. (68.32.34.152 19:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC))

This entry is a crock. The person who listed this article is 68.32.34.152 (26 edits) who said "Delete, the page is incoherent etc". The first Delete is from Wraith Daquell (19 edits). The second Delete is by -- you guessed it -- the same 68.32.34.152 who nominated the article for deletion. Note that in his first comments above, he said it seemed "to document a real play", but in his vote he said he didn't "think it is a real play". I was unaware of this article until seeing it on this list, so I read it. It is stubby and needs editing. But it is genuine, and describes a prize winning play. Moriori 07:32, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Note that 208.233.32.44 has now repeatedly tried to remove/modify votes. I just restored them again. JoshuaZ 19:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I do apologize for the confusion...I was under the impression that your comments could be removed after the problem was fixed. I will keep that from happening, again. I am a new user.

However, for this record, also note that JoshuaZ and mark have made repeated attempts to discredit this article, though have actually contributed nothing to the article as of the time of this comment. I strongly believe there is personal bias involved in these two users' activity on this article.

I believe dministrative mediation is very necessary at this point. 208.233.32.44 20:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

As for the rest of the problems, I'm really not sure which aspect of the article bucketsofg are refering to. Can you elaborate on a specific part of the article?

I'm not attempting to discredit. This information, unverifiable as it is, has no place in Wikipedia because we have a No Original Research policy. Besides, I think the concept isn't even notable enough to get included anyway. I say delete. — mark ✎ 08:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

That is certainly a much more civil approach to get your point to be understood. This could have avoided a great deal of time, had you said that a week ago. Currently, I am working with the sources to get them released...I'm trying to expose something and avoid a lawsuit at the same time. I seriously question, however that you've attempted to research any part of the article, given your history of behavior with other users on this article and statements made on and about this article prior to the one you just made.

There is a book, Marco Rodin's "Aerodynamics" that can be cited, if I could just find it...I can find works "in Re" to it, but not the original work, other than the book I'm holding in my hand. Marco Rodin wasn't exactly a hack....he was a brilliant physicist...

Even that wouldn't account for the whole article, I do understand, sir, but I assure, I am working on it. If you could show some patience, as I requested, I can definately verify these sources. I just need time..surely you can understand the concept of delayed gratification.

If you can bear with us, we are working our tails off to get this completed...it's rather turning into a drain...as we're spending hours on the phone arguing with some of the members of this group to release interviews to certain medias.

The following users need to contact me to discuss what problems they have with the article:

• DMG413
• Sandstein

Lou "Bob" Dobbs, III 04:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry that I wasn't clear enough initially. However, I stand by my vote. I think we cannot afford to have unverifiable articles, and even when your contacts with certain people result in citable sources, I am not convinced at all of the notability of the concept. Also, please take note of Wikipedia:Reliable sources: not all sources are good sources.

If you ask me, 'Gammamute' just is one of the zillion pseudoscientific concepts that struggle to get included in Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is just a tertiary source — it is not the place to publish original research and hence it is not the proper venue for the publication and documentation of fringe concepts like this. I think the most sensible thing to do is to delete the article as it stands now, if consensus says so. Of course, nothing holds you back from working on an improved, referenced version at home (or wherever you like to work) first. But as I said, I doubt if it will ever be worthy of inclusion on its own merits. You might want to try wikinfo.org, where the rules seem to be slightly less stringent. — mark ✎ 16:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I will most definately continue researching this group at home, regardless of whether the article is deleted, however I will continue to find citable sources in the article.

I understand your point about original research. Perhaps I should go to the newspapers anonymously with what I have (much more than the article), and let them take it from there.

You're right, Google only finds about 100 hits on "Geek Answer Syndrome" - but I notice that it does find about 9780 hits on "Male Answer Syndrome".

[edit] Greenwheel

Greenwheel has one possibly notable song, "Shelter" from the Spiderman soundtrack ("music from and inspired by") and one album release by a major label (Soma Holiday (album), so fails WP:BAND.

Comment except that it wasn't used in the movie; it was on the "music from and inspired by" album put out by their record label. Thatcher131 13:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment Right, I knew that, because you said it above, and I read it, and I was paying attention. The soundtrack album it seems, these days, doesn't always include every song used in the movie and does include some not. However it was associated with the movie, as you said and as I said. Sorry if my being unclear in phrasing was cause for any confusion, but no change in my opinion. The album sold well enough to justify part of the retention, the cover of a song by Etheridge provides more, the national tour provides a little more, the being signed by a major label provides a bit more too. All in all, sums to barely notable, I think. ++Lar: t/c 15:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Difference of opinion then. It looks to me like Island records got the rights to the soundtrack, had some empty space left over after putting in the actual movie sogs, and tossed in some of their own bands as filler. Doesn't add to their notability IMHO. The other reasons you cited are better. Thatcher131 20:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Imperial Party (UK)

I'd better officially add Thomas Davison to the nomination. Although it's a redirect to Imperial Party (UK) it has a page history. --kingboyk 08:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

A 'political party' with one member and, in 2004, a declared income of 10 whole English pounds. Polled 129 votes in the 2005 general election, 0.3% of the electorate in the constituency in question and too small a percentage nationally to even bother about. This is what one would normally (charitably) call an "independent" but, no, this is apparently a political party of significance enough to merit a Wikipedia article. I had to laugh when the article provided a citation link for the statement that "critics have labelled the scheme unworkable and detrimental to personal liberty". Thinking it might be a local newspaper or even - in my wildest dreams - The Times, imagine my disappointment when the link took to me a forum at the UKIP, relatively a Goliath given how they polled 2.3%. This, my friends, is vanity spam cruft of the highest order. kingboyk 14:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Exactly, it's one guy who stood in the general election and polled 129 votes. Your average Monster Raving Loony Party candidate polls way more than that and, as Category:Official Monster Raving Loony Party shows, we only have articles on their key figures, not every candidate who has ever stood for them. --kingboyk 08:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Would we also have a United States Online Classifieds Industry or a Canadian Online Classifieds Industry? For that matter, would we ever have a Brazilian Healthcare Industry article. I'm not sure this warrants an article by itself. If anything, shouldn't this go under Classified_advertising? Monkeyman^(talk) 05:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Sure why not? Classifieds are becoming more and more popular online. In today's news http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-6049161.html?part=rss&tag=6049161&subj=news 65.189.187.26 05:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I feel that a whole article devoted to analysis of this or any of the other examples given by Monkeyman is unnecessary, and might even violate WP:OR, even if some of the companies do meet WP:CORP/WP:WEB (I don't plan on checking, as that has no relevance to my reasoning). "List of Indian online classified sites" would be bordering on listcruft, but that would seem a little more legitimate in comparison. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge first section with Classified_advertising; NPOV and verifiable portions of the "review" section could be merged with individual companies that have articles, and any links should be internal. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 19:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am the original author. I think the entire article including the look at the top classifieds sites in India that were mentioned in the article should be kept. The 10 classifieds sites mentioned are the most popular in India. If you have any doubt please talk to anyone who lives in India or is knowledgeable about Indian websites. The reason why the Internet and Internet usage in India is very interesting is that currently internet usage in India is at approximately 3% of population. The number of users increased over 50% from last year and is continuing to grow with improved infrastructure plans. By comparison, the percentage of users in the United States relative to population was 68.8% in 2004 and dropped in 2005. I believe a look at the Indian and Chinese internet industry is important over the short term. Bluesargam 01:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  Commment The increase in Internet usage is noteworthy, but probably belongs in India or one of the broader India-related articles (Standard of living in India? Mass media in India?) I don't see how that supports the creation of an article about one specific aspect of Internet usage in one country. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 02:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  Comment I think online classifieds usage in India is an indication of this growth. But yes I agree with you that it is just one piece of the overall growth. Bluesargam 03:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge the NPOV content with Classified advertising. Most of the article is unencyclopedic, original research. Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages. utcursch | talk 03:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I propose to delete this, as I dont think that such an analysis type article is necessary in an Encyclopedia. thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu_Joseph |TALK}
• Merge as above into Classified advertising if it is felt there are any India-specific points worth mentioning. Otherwise delete. ProhibitOnions 12:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Bluesargam. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, unencyclopedic essay, totally unverified and full of POV. No need for this article, definite reason to WP:CHILL. Agree with possible merge of any WP-standard material into relevant articles. Deizio 18:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invisible Zorro

No notability established for a very minor computer game reference. Apparently it has something to do with Silent Hill 4: The Room but I can find no references to it there. A link to a set of Silent Hill 4 walkthroughs was provided but I couldn't find any reference to Invisible Zorro in any of the walkthroughs on the link. A google search for "invisible zorro" comes up with practically nothing. I attached a prod to this one but it was contested and so I bring it here. MLA 11:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was No consensus, Valid points on all sides, though in a minority, there seems to be some support for moving this to Legendary Frog. There were lot's of anons taking part here but boiled down there wasn't a consensus. The content here was (stongly) kept under a different name [18] so the issue it seems is where it should be not if it should be.. Rx StrangeLove 06:09, 23 March 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!

A Flash animator, of which there is no shortage, article replete with "famous for" and "popular" but scores <20k ghits, re-creation of subject previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Blanchette (puppetry in evidence), but this article had a parallel existence at Legendary Frog. AfD there: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legendary Frog (Keep). The notability of Newgrounds flash animators outside of Newgrounds is open to question, and per policy I could not find any verifiable evidence of significance in reliable sources. Just zis Guy you know? 16:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete! LF is overrated! he steals all his jokes from the simpsons and i swear, he must watch tv with a pen and paper in his hand to write down all the jokes or something.
• Weak delete — There are a lot of pretty good artists in the world, but only a small percentage of them are really notable. If the guy has a commercial success of some type, then I'd think otherwise. Most of his works appear to be spoofs of more notable creations, rather than original works that are successes in their own right. — RJH 20:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete Legendary Frog is one of the most noticeable Flash Animators out there. If you think there are other Flash animators out there worth a page then make it. The bigger this site is the better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.108.14.77 (talk •
• Don't Delete Legendary Frog is a very famous user of Flash on the internet. If we deleted an article like this, we would have to delete the article about Homestar Runner, which is BS. TheDavesr 04:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Let me remind you, "His work tends to be rather popular; several of his movies have recieved over one million views on Newgrounds."
• Keep it: Legendary frog is truly a legend, his animations have marked a new meaning for animation on the canvas known as the internet. His parodys are funny. If you watch any of them with an exception of mabey ine you would see almost instantly what im talking about.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.154.162.165 (talk • contribs). contribs) .
• Weak delete. I like the animations I saw, but it's just too soon.Bjones 05:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Don't Delete More people have heard about Legendary Frog than Andrew Dice, but he still gets an article. Joseph Blanchette has a forum with thousands of fan members. I think he's worthy of note, especially if someone wants to build the entry. It's not like we're asking the administrators to make it. There's nothing detrimental about this page. It's informative. If you can give Leeroy Jenkins, and All Your Base Are Belong to Us a page, then Legendary Frog is enough of an Internet success to include too. Yeah I know this is a second vote, but I had more to say, and I like to have the last laugh.
  • NOTE: Double vote by User:12.108.14.77. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename?. I side with the opinions so far that he is one of the more well-known Flash artists. But.. would this article stand better under the name "Legendary Frog" as opposed to Joseph Blanchette? Like the Homestar Runner article is "Homestar Runner," not "The Brothers Chaps." --Crisu 02:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I think it's ridiculous to delete Legendary Frog's entry, he used to be really really big and his movies have been watched many many times and had a large impact on a large part of the flash community. I don't understand why EVERY SINGLE WEB COMIC EVER MADE, for example "pixel comics" with no creative value whatsoever and without much notibility can have an entry (I don't remember the names but they are indeed plentiful) when one of the most influentious flash animators can not? I don't think every flash artist should have an entry (I just voted "Delete" for Fredthemonkey.com) but the most famous should definately have a page. Mackan 14:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment it's not "<20k ghits" like the nominator suggests but more than 25,000 on "Legendary Frog", furthermore, a "LegendaryFrog" OR "Legendary Frog" gives 48,700 hits. I think the previous voters, obviously misinformed, should all re-consider their votes.
  • I get 13k and 15k. Fagstein 07:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
    • When I click those links it says 25,000 and 26,000.Mackan 08:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Site is hosted by GeoCities for one thing. No evidence of notability. I'll change my mind if someone provides sources which indicate this isn't just another flash animator. Fagstein 07:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Rename to "Legendary Frog". Google results seem to indicate notability. Fagstein 04:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • He is a flash animator but he's definately among the more famous ones. Why discriminate against flash animators but allow every single web comics, many probably seen by much much fewer people than LF's movies? Also, it's not about his homepage and where it may be hosted but about his movies, only posted on NG because he hasn't allowed them to be uploaded elsewhere. If he had, I bet they'd be over the entire web by now.Mackan 08:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Here's some evidence of his notability, except for the fact that he gets 50,000 hits on google, his original cartoon All Your Pie has been viewed 600,000 times, another original, [Kerri's big invention almost 700,000 times. A selection of his video game parodies come in at 2,700 000 hits ([19]), 1,500 000 hits ([20]), 800,000 hits ([21]), his most viewed Lord of the Rings spoof is 1,400 000 hits([22]), and generally, his many other movies have been watched somewhere in the range of 400,000-1,000 000 times. This is probably more than some television shows. He's been active since at least 2002 (the date his most popular Final Fantasy spoof was released) so there's no novelty factor to his name, there's no "he's not big enough now but might be later" (IMO). Mackan 08:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I just realised his movies can be viewed at UGOPlayer] as well, where his movies have been watched a grand total of 7,104,423 times (at time of writing). Come on people, be reasonable.Mackan 03:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Here's a list of all web comics with their own articles on Wikipedia: [[23]]. How many is that, a hundred?? I question that more than a handful of them are more known than Legendary Frog. If Legendary Frog had been half as known as he is and made comics with the same themes as his animations, then he would DEFINATELY be on that list. Can anybody explain why this is fair? Mackan 08:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment LegendaryFrog's highest listing appears at 52 on Newgrounds' top 50 in user votes. Fagstein 22:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
      • That list is VERY fickle and changes a lot every single week (in favour of new submissions), and LegendaryFrog actually holds the record of most movies in the top 50 at one time ([24](. That said, I'm not saying the list is the basis for the inclusion, not at all, it has literalyl NOTHING to do with him. I am not saying Legendary Frog should be included because of quality, but because of notability. Also, could somebody PLEASE explain why we keep all the webcomics but delete this? I'm still waiting for a response. Mackan 03:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Nigelthefish 20:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Very well known. He's a well respected flash artist and his name has been able to make many a flash movie noteworthy. To exclude him would cause a large upset among his fan base. In example of this would be someone such as Fred the Monkey who has made a flash showing his anger at Wikipedia for putting his entry on the cutting block.--68.102.189.69 02:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • It's completely irrelevant whether his fanbase would be upset or not, that has nothing to do with the purpose of Wikipedia. Mackan 03:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I may be incorrect, but my understanding is that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to give information. That is what this page does.
    • Wikipedia is not the sum of all human knowledge. Fagstein 19:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
      • I agree, but there's a big difference between Ted Smith from Boise, and Legendary Frog who has tons of fans. He's well known in the online community. If he has fans dedicated enough to make this page, then there is no reason this article should be deleated. I agree that not everything deserves a Wikipedia entry, but Legendary Frog is well known enough, and talented enough to earn one.
