comment/potential keep. It's not actually original research (in the sense that it is something dreamt up by the contributor); rather it's a brief description of a concept related in the philosophical work Falsafatuna by notable Iraqi Shiite cleric and ulema, Baqir al-Sadr, as can be seen in the work which is available in english online here. Baqir as-Sadr makes the claim in the work that the theory is a particular concept found in Islamic philosophy, and perhaps it is (it may be that it is more commonly translated by some other term in english). Baqir as-Sadr is certainly a notable and quotable source (although the article on his book is also up for deletion), but someone better versed in Islamic philosophy than me needs to establish if it is a particular concept acknowledged and recognised in the field, or whether it is a term only found in Baqir as-Sadr's works (or even, a mis-labelling introduced by his translator).--cjllw | TALK 14:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Falsafatuna

~~only 632 Ghits. Non-notable book; entry is possibly vanity. M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 | T | C | @ 00:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)~~

UPDATE: Withdrawn. --M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 23:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep. Looks pretty widespread. Needs to be cleaned-up anyway; they "to be continued" at the end isn't exactly encyclopedic. Devotchka 00:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment Can't decide a vote. Book looks notable, and not vanity (where is that from?). However, whole article looks like a copyrighted synopsis (especially with the 'to be continued'). Ch u ck^(척뉴넘) 00:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
delete Not notable and looks like it was lifted from an ebook. If it is notable it will come back inactual article form. Dominick ^(TALK) 01:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

How can notibility be determined with something like a foreign book.? Google hits will bring up appropriate English pages, but that's all. Plus 632 hits is a lot, isn't it? Ch u ck^(척뉴넘) 01:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Conditional keep if it's not copied from somewhere else. —M e ts501^talk 01:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Note: Same article also exists at Our Philosophy (Falsafatuna). Oddly, it's tagged with a {{hangon}} even though it was never tagged for CSD. Clearly, we do not need two copies. Fan1967 02:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Devotchka 02:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete - at this point, I don't see any verifiable sources. Also, it reads like a book report. Wickethewok 04:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. The book itself is online [1]. The question is, is the book notable? Clearly the author's family is, but I have no way of knowing about the book. Is it a significant work in Shiite beliefs? Fan1967 14:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Conditional Keep by AGF on Parihan's part, but if becomes a book review then it's original research. Give it more than a day though. T e ke 22:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Conditional keep per T e ke. Thetruthbelow^(talk) 04:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The book's author Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr is certainly notable as one of the more prominent Iraqi Shiite clerics, jurisprudents and ulema of the 20th C., and much of that notability rests on what he said, wrote and philosophised about (rather goes with the job description). Accordingly, significant works of his such as this book and his work on economics (Iqtisaduna ) are likewise notable, just as they are for works of other religious and philosophical figures. As for its content, I do not believe it to be OR, since it seems only to summarise the book's content and main points (which is what other articles on books mainly do), and is readily verifiable since as pointed out above the book's text is available online in english. It's not really a 'review', and there are no grandiose claims, opinions, or other unsubstantiable mentions that I can see which would push this into OR. I don't see a reason to suspect they are not the contributing editor's own words either. The other oddities can be attributed perhaps to the contributor's unfamiliarity with wikipedia conventions, and I take the 'to be continued' tag as the contributor flagging that they intend to expand on the article. I agree that the prose does need a good copyedit and the overall style needs to be less idiosyncratic, but these can presumably be addressed.--cjllw | TALK 05:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep Article needs some cleanup, but it looks like an attempt to summarize a significant work by a notable author. Fan1967 13:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep per CJLLLW and WP:BITE. Also I continue to be amazed by nominations that seem to have come from people who have not followed the links in the article. How can anyone read the al-Sadr article linked to from this one and determine this is a vanity page, let alone think its nn enough to do all the work for an AFD? Extraordinary puzzlement here.

[edit] Muslim matrimonial

This page is a directory of Muslim matrimonial websites. I presume that the subject of Muslim matrimony and/or matrimonial practices is infinitely broader than what's contained in this article. I don't see anything appropriate in the Marriage in Islam category that this can be merged into, so I'd vote to delete. Anirvan 00:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maple High School

Withdrawn ~~Non-notable school.~~ Argon233 ^T C _{_@ ∉} 02:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I still don't see the use of this or similar K-12 school articles (is it _really_ considered useful to collect potentially tens of thousands of articles with basicly trivial information like this example?), but I was not previously aware of the material pointed out here, and it appears that my nomination is going against an established consensus (or lack of consensus as the case may be), so I think the best thing to do at the moment is to withdraw this AfD nomination. -- Argon233 ^T C _{_@ ∉} 06:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment Is there a criteria for schools and notability? Hobbeslover 03:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Nope, Wikipedia:Schools didn't pass, and as far as I know there's no other criteria "on paper" yet. However it is general practice to keep pretty much all school articles. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HealthFrame

Delete - Spam. Pretty obvious given the editor's username. Wickethewok 03:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

It should only be deleted if you also delete WebMD. Please go to the Wikipedia's entry for Personal Health Record. WebMD is entered in the Examples section. If you follow the link for WebMD there is NO deletion request. WebMD's personal health record is a commercial product, for which users must pay an yearly fee. The fact that the editor does not choose to hide her identity behind an alias should not be the reason for deletion. There was nothing to hide given the obvious precedent for WebMD's commercial product. simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment If I do a google search for WebMD.com, I get 3 million hits. If I do a google search for RecordsForLiving.com, I get 300. WebMD is notable. RecordsForLiving is not. Fan1967 04:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

WebMD may be notable, but WebMD's personal health record isn't. Do a search for "WebMD Health Manager" and you will find that this particular product is NOT notable. simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment You make a good argument for removing their name from that page. Interestingly, it was only added there last week [3], by an anonymous user. Fan1967 04:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

One more point, the entry was NOT for Records For Living (the company) the entry was for HealthFrame. simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment ...and the first google hits for HealthFrame are Records For Living, so anybody looking for it will find you. Fan1967 04:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that Securamed still remains in Wikipedia. Are they notable too? simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment I have no idea. Many non-notable people and companies remain in Wikipoedia a while because nobody noticed them. Certainly worth looking at. However, whether they are or are not has no effect on whether your company is. Fan1967 04:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I prod'd Securamed for deletion, as it looks spammy and not particularly notable. Wickethewok 04:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment Looks like the Securamed author was also the one who added WebMD to that page. Gues s/he thought it would be too blatant to add Securamed by itself. Fan1967 04:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Understood. Can then someone explain the differences in speed to take action? simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment There are over a million articles in Wikipedia. There are probably thousands that have never been looked at by anyone at all. As I said, many stick around because nobody noticed them earlier. Fan1967 04:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment OK. BTW, the anonymous user seems to have been the same who added SecuraMed... :-) Please take a look at the IP address. I have seen them take this strategy before (i.e. to use WebMD as a shield for their own product). I'll remove my entry. Sorry to have caused extra work for the editors. Not my intention. I was duped by what I perceived was a legitimate entry. simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

Comment I caught that. I have put the Personal health record article back to where it was a week ago, without any of the links. Fan1967 04:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I tried to delete, but I think a 'bot' undid it... If any of you know how to do it, just remove it. Thx. simone@RecordsForLiving.com 25 May 2006

[edit] Soundsystem Massive

I posted a notability prod on this article, because I see nothing in the article that indicates this group has had any notable impact on the music industry. The notability prod was removed (twice), so I have now submitted an afd. This group is nonnotable, and the article borders on patent nonsense. Charles 03:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment Indeed I did. After a quick phone call consisting of "Will you ever finish Scud Messiah?" and "Yeah we will. We're working on it right now. Bye", it has been determined they will finish at least that album. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paco650 (talk • contribs) 25 May 2006.

Delete as seriously NN, and the next thing to spurious at that. For one thing, that alleged "Soundsystem Massive in the UK" link counts in so far as the long news page to which it connects has both the words "Soundsystem" and "Massive" on it, albeit in different places; nice try there. A Google search turns up the lead hit being a Myspace page (with the headline "I have a huge cock and you don't") and there are all of three relevant hits. RGTraynor 05:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment - If you want more interesting reading, here's the LiveJournals for the principals, who seems to be 19 year old college students. (links deleted) Somehow I doubt they've spent the last three years touring the UK or being producers in the hip-hop scene. RGTraynor 05:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

We're just two kids making music and helping others produce theirs. Just thought I'd clear that up. :'( --Paco650 06:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment - No, actually, Wikipedia's full of people who are on the serious business of creating and maintaining an encyclopedia. One wonders what your reaction would be if your employer bounced your checks and then claimed you couldn't "take a joke," or if your professors flunked you out and then claimed you couldn't "take a joke." Possibly you wouldn't respond with cheerful laughter, but then few people do when the joke's on them. RGTraynor 06:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't talking about my professors or my employer. I was talking about uptight wiki-editors and an "encyclopedia" that is both a running joke and an unacceptable source of information at my college's newspaper and with the student body in general.--Paco650 01:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Paco650, please do not trash the article just because you don't like the way the AfD discussion is going. Paddles 12:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Weak delete Not sure about the notability question, but the article is horribly POV, horribly unencyclopedic, and most likely vanity. Notability is difficult in the underground music scene, if there are a couple of articles in the street press or something then I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on condition that the article has a major rewrite. Otherwise, delete without prejudice, the article can be written anew in a suitable style once notability is established. Paddles 12:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of proper nouns containing an exclamation mark

The initial keep result for this article at its first AfD was contested at DRV. A very messy sequence of events ensued involving an out-of-process deletion (and reopening, and reclosing, of the first debate.) The confusing result was judged by DRV consensus to be in error. Please begin debate here afresh, concerned only with the merits or demerits of the article. This is a procedural renomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 03:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Shall we make a list of hyphenated words next? -- stubblyh ea d | ^T/_c 04:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep. To repeat what I said at the DRV, this page meets the basic standard of usefulness. Lists are useful for conducting research, e.g. on the topic of why entities choose to add exclamation points to trademarks. For instance, why was Dare (album) released as "Dare!" in the U.S. and "Dare" elsewhere? A list is the best way to organize this information because it maintains its availability for those who are interested and does not intrude upon other pages. Presuming that our policies are directed at creating a useful reference work, it's hard to imagine that they are intended to cause us to delete useful pages such as this. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete I don't buy the arguments about why this list would be useful. To use Christopher Parham's example, if I wanted to know why the album "Dare" had different names in the US and elsewhere, I'd go look at the article Dare (album), not this list. What purpose does this list serve? When do I ask the question: "what are all the proper nouns that contain an exclamation mark"? I can't think of a realistic answer to that. If you really need the information then proper use of a search engine can generate it. This list is so inherently unmaintainable that it actually gives you a false answer. It can never be useful.

Also see the talk page for my other arguments. If you want cleanup, do it yourself, or say exactly what is the problem, and I'll do it. I have already read some Wikipedia guidelines in Wikipedia and I think the article is OK. As someone has already pointed, I reused the photo from the Portuguese wikipedia, but I did not write that article (though I edited it to make it less messy, though it is still messy) nor based this one in that one. I based the article from the communities in Orkut and in the "Diário de Pernambuco" that you can see in the references. Jorge 06:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. I think it's a hoax based on the idea of "the best thing since sliced bread". "Howard Tuthill" with "bread" brings up two Google hits, both unrelated. I'd say it should be a speedy, really. Devotchka 04:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete & Comment -- I searched for referenced to Howard Tuthill and Oliver Machinery. The only thing i could find was East Grand Rapids, Michigan which lists him, but beyond that, no ghits. Not sure if its a joke or not, as the link in that article appears to be independently added by User:24.11.129.179. This users edits (all three of them) seems to be of an experimental and somewhat vandalistic nature.

[edit] Aquygen

Noteable It seems to me that Aquygen deserves mention, if nothing else. I do not personally believe that "it has to be a hoax" qualifies this article's deletion. It may, if not worded correctly, constitute the disputability of the factuality of the article, however it does desirve mention. If the so called "fact" of the matter that this article is claimed as a hoax by those who are, for lack of a better description, biased ensures its deletion, shouldn't the article on cold fusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion) be deleted/removed as well? What is happening here is that some people feel that it is their duty to subvert any possible hoax rather than allow the mention of notable happenings in our modern time; a hoax is also worthy mention, at the very least as a stub.

Delete unverifiable/NN. First, searched ChemFinder and found no results. Then, searched through AcademicSearchElite and found an obscure molecular physics study about photofragmentation of H20 and D20, but I think the "HHO geometry" refers not to a compound that is different than water, but a physical arrangement of the atoms that compose water (Title: Photodissociation of Water. II. Wave Packet Calculations for the Photofragmentation of H2O and D2O in the B- band" by Harrevelt and van Hemert. Also, a side note: Article is dated April 1, 2000. Published in the Journal of Chemical Physics). One article in particular, "Pseudoscience today, theater lighting controls, and more" made it sound like HHO is just a stoichiometric mix of hydrogen (2 parts) and oxygen (one part), not a chemical compound with the formula HHO (which is WATER, people!).

[edit] Black Iron Prison

This is, irreparably, the author's POV. It may or may not be a valid philosophical concept, but it is the author's view of the universe. It's not provable or disprovable, at least by Wikipedia methods (i.e., looking it up). The only nonoriginal element is the reference from the Philip K. Dick story, which I don't think is notable by itself. NawlinWiki 04:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Freedman (Magician)

Closer's notes
The comments of two very new users (Humbledof and Oldadder) were disregarded. Both users had made their only edits to either this AfD or the page being debated.

Delete Wikipedia is not a soapbox

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Wikipedia articles are not:

Propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views. You can also use Wikinfo which promotes a "sympathetic point of view" for every article. Self-promotion. The arbitration committee ruled on February 17, 2006 that: "Editors should avoid contributing to articles about themselves, their direct family or subjects in which they are personally involved, as it is difficult to maintain NPOV while doing so." [1] Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles, or to articles in which you have a personal stake, is similarly unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Notability. Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs. See also WP:CORP for a proposal on corporate notability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Humbledof (talk • contribs) .

~~Weak~~ Keep. True, he doesn't meet WP:PROFTEST, but he seems to be more a musician than a professor, and he seems to meet the WP:MUSIC criteria of "Has won or placed in a major music competition.", with: "Takacs has won numerous competitions, including the 1999 National Trumpet Competition at George Mason University in Washington D.C., and was one of five semifinalists selected worldwide to participate in the 2000 Ellsworth Smith International Trumpet Competition held in Bad Säckingen, Germany, sponsored by the International Trumpet Guild." Unfortunately, I don't know much about Trumpet, so don't know if how "major" those are, but they sound from the names as if they would qualify. ~~(That's why this is only a weak keep - someone who knows more about trumpet can easily convince me one way or another.)~~ AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 14:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Text and rubrics of the Roman Canon. TerenceOng's rather summary dismissal doesn't really help a great deal, but the analysis by the other two editors is more useful. This seems like a harmless enough redirect, and there's little reason to simply retain content that contains established errors when error-free content is available elsewhere. -Splash^talk 22:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Canon

duplication of Text and rubrics of the Roman Canon Lima 08:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC) - By "duplication" I of course mean "dealing with the same matter", not "a carbon copy" Lima 15:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep, not a duplicate. --Ter e nc e Ong 09:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge and redirect It's not a word-for-word duplication, but there is major overlap. The English translations in Roman Canon could be a useful addition to Text and rubrics of the Roman Canon, but the latter article contains most of the useful content. In fact, once the articles have been merged, I'd be inclined to rename the merged article as "Roman Canon". Paddles 13:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment By "duplication" I did not, of course, mean "copy". The full Latin text with English translation is already in Text and rubrics of the Roman Canon, one free from errors found in the Roman Canon article such as "is being shed" (in Latin, "effunditur"), as a translation of "effundetur" (will be shed), and "do" (in Latin, "facite") as a translation of "facietis" (you will do) in the phrase "do this in memory of Me". If in addition to the full text given in each section described a continuous text of the whole Canon were desired, a link to any of several websites would be enough. In short, what valid material is there to merge into the article that "contains most of the useful content"? (As for the quite separate question of renaming, we would have to consider also the candidacy of Canon of the Mass, with which most other articles link at present.) - I see now that I forgot to sign.

I speedied this as vandalism on the basis of the name and the fact that the only "verification" of it is a blog, which isn't considered a reliable source. But the creator protested, saying "It wasn't vandalism! It's a real conference!" and another user convinced me on my talk page to undelete it. But I'm still not convinced it's notable enough for an encyclopedia, especially not with any reliable sources for verifiability. Perhaps speedying was too hasty, but I still say delete.

Before my entry is completely deleted, please see the conversation that is being held User_talk:Studio_JFISH here. I feel that I do meet the standards for my article to stay, I just believe that no one quite understands yet that I do have noteable recommendations. As for the Google hits, Jusjih, just how many Google hits does something need in order to be fit to stay on Wikipedia? If it's a much higher amount I can take that and wait until I reach such a position. I guess I'm a little suprised that I do not have the qualifications to stay. Thanks to those who might look into it, --Studio JFISH 14:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment The number of Ghits can sometimes be a useful indicator, but it's really more about the quality of the Ghits. For example, 2 or 3 Ghits from reputable media sites counts for more than 2000 Ghits from myspace pages and other blogs, in my view. Paddles 14:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Jonestown Carnage

Article does not establish notability of the book ++Lar: t/c 19:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment This article has been around a while and a number of editors have worked on it. Someone put it up for speedy, that didn't seem right to me so I have nominated it for AfD. I have no opinion about it other than that notability is not yet established. ++Lar: t/c 19:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I have contributed extensively to this article and I believe that notability has been established according to Wikipedia's policy. I have included several links to major local publications (Mainly The Savannah Daily News) and the band's debut album (High Impendence Of Super Horse, 2005)was voted as one of the best albums of the year according to Georgia Music magazine. The band has been together for over 12 years and is a well known "undreground" indie rock band (The links to The Savannah Daily News will verify my claim).

Keep and edit to note that the book's assertions are controversial. It is a controversial book about a notable subject. We can afford to keep this kind of article, as long as we edit to let everyone know that the book is not considered authoritative.

See also Talk:The Jonestown Carnage. The book discussed by the article (if it actually exists, and whether or not it has a circulation of 5000+) is very interesting evidence of late 1980s propaganda techniques used by the Soviet Union, and is therefore of a lot more historical interest than the many articles about minor characters on teevee shows and in video games that are allowed on wikipedia. --arkuat (talk) 04:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. As article stands, no evidence of notability, and just a recounting of a minor conspiracy theory that apparently didn't even merit rebuttal. -- FRCP11 12:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dinosaur Training

~~I am also nominating the following related page because of NN:~~

~~Ken Leistner~~ See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ken Leistner.
~~Weak keep.~~ Puny, weakling, skinny-scarecrow keep. Comments follow: Dpbsmith (talk) 12:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Google Books search on exact phrase "dinosaur training" gives five hits: three irrelevant, one inaccessible. However, the first hit is Ironman Magazine (2000). Ironman's Ultimate Guide To Building Muscle Mass. McGraw-Hill Professional. ISBN 0809228130. p. 215: "Dinosaur training is all about heavy poundages and working hard..." The chapter is by Brooks Kubik. However, the fact that it appears in a print book by a legitimate publisher, under the auspices what I believe to be a legitimate physical-culture magazine, gives some credibility to its being a recognized concept. (By the way, a single hit in Google Books is not negligible, though I'd rather see half-a-dozen to a dozen. For comparison, exact phrase "Charles Atlas" gets 1200 hits in 100 books).

Re vanity: both this article and Brooks Kubik were created by User:Tjic. Based on his user page and other contributions, I would be very surprised if Tjic were Brooks Kubik himself or even a close associate, and these contributions and his other contributions does not follow the typical pattern of the pitbull self-promoter who thinks he can use Wikipedia for free advertising or building website traffic. Furthermore, the original Tjic text as well as subsequent edits are completely free from promotional or hucksterish language. So, I don't see vanity, though I do see a question of how recognized and important this is in the muscle-building community. (To which I don't belong).

Hmmm... Google Groups [13] gets 194 hits, borderline. I like Groups because it's less influenced by "search engine optimization" and other techniques for inflating web hits; under ordinary circumstances, Groups gets 1/4 to 1/10 the number of hit as a web search. On the face of it, when I read the content of the Group hits suggest that it is a real method, with some degree of real interest, but not very famous or well-known. Dpbsmith (talk) 12:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Ok, not vanity. But non-notable chapter in non-notable book doesn't add up to notability. -- FRCP11 13:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I think I used the word "borderline." Here's yet another case of "borderline:" I'm not sure how to link this, but go to www.a9.com, select only "books", and type "brooks d. kubik" in quotations. You get the out-of-print book, the Ironman book... and allusions to Kubik by two other strength-training authors. Typing in "brooks kubik" (no d.) yields three different mentions by other writers. In other words, a handful of strength-training authors have mentioned his name in print. Tell you what: I'll change "weak keep" to something weaker. If someone kicks sand in my face I'll probably cave in altogether. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete seems real enough but fairly marginal. If some heavily muscled individual calls to the door with a testimonial I will of course change my vote. Dlyons493 Talk 20:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep. "Dinosaur Training" is fairly well known in strength training circles. I thought part of the goal of Wikipedia was to serve as a learning tool, but the standard here seems to be "non-notable, because I haven't heard of it". Does one have to be as well-known as Charles Atlas to merit an entry? And calling the book that cited Dinosaur Training non-notable seems rather weak; it was published by McGraw-Hill - not exactly self-published. Dsreyn 00:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment. Why was the AfD for Ken Leistner pointing here? Is this a package deal - Dinosaur Training and Leistner sink or swim together? Dsreyn 00:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The AfD for Leistner was pointing here per WP:AFD Section 6 for related articles. If you want to argue that one meets Wikipedia notability criteria and one doesn't and that they should be split up, you're welcome to split them up. I was trying to save time, because Dinosaur Training should've been included in the Brooks Kubik AfD. -- FRCP11 01:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, I have split the two. Saving time seems like a poor reason to combine them; Leistner and Dinosaur Training aren't directly linked (Kubik and Dinosaur Training would've been a more reasonable pairing). Dsreyn 02:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Virtual Reality in the schools

The article is blatant advertising - being filled only with information from the individual website and a link there. Seems to seems to fail notability test. Article fails to assert it's importance - is a straight lift from here - and when I attached the importance tag it was simply removed and more information copied from the website. Also see what Wikipedia is not as this is a blatant disregard of this and this again as it is a simple copy and paste job. Craig451 13:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Responce from the article creator: When editing the article, I must have misunderstood when it said to expand it and after expanded delete the 'importance tag'. I'm guessing that was for an administrator to delete and not myself. My apologies. We wanted to create a resource that talked about what VR in the Schools is and how it is used (much like how wikipedia has pages on Universities). We didn't consider this advertising since all of our information is free and and VR in the Schools is non-commercial. I can understand however how advertising can be perceived. I do apologize for taking your time, we did not intend to break any rules. I understand the deletion of this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.216.60.13 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] New York Yankees Payroll

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Unverifiable speculation and estimation, and seems to be original research as well. Canley 13:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete and merge, if so desired, any verified info into New York Yankees. It might make an interesting section there. PJM 13:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete. There are sites (USA Today, or ESPN, for example) which maintain this information for all teams and keep it updated when the roster changes, as well as providing historical numbers. That's a great function for a newspaper, which reacts well to changing information, but horrible for an encyclopedia. Fan1967 14:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete and merge per PJM. FWIW, this is not original research; this sort of thing can be verified. Sports generate massive statistics, most of which falls under trivia. The Yankees' payroll is one of the most salient facts about the team, though. Smerdis of Tlön 14:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I really don't understand how this website is worthy of an article on Wikipedia. From what I can gather it's just a fan site with a small following and has no wide appeal to anyone not specifically interested in the subject.

I commented on the talk page about that. It's really a very tough call, but looking at the facts and when I can see from this article I belive it should be a keep, they seem to be a legitimate band. They have a decent list of songs, a strong following, I feel very mixed but it appears this should be a keep. Maybe it could be brought down or up later on, but I think this should stay up.

I think the problem with all you people who spend your lives editing other people's contribution is that you seem to think that this is YOUR web site. that YOU can decide what is on it and what's not. Might you ever spend some time out of your speed deleting addiction to realise that people in the 'london indie scene' may find information about this little known band and its members more interesting than some obscure 17th century french explorer who appears in length on this site. I am simply asking you to be a little more open minded and to realise that just because your itchy little fingers cannot keep off your mouse button, the success of this web site depends on freedom of information for those who want it not on the ideals of 'wikipedians'.

Hi there. I'd like to point you to some reading: About Wikipedia, which should clear up the importance of the the 17th Century explorers (Who doesn't like New Orleans and Quebec?), and to the music guidelines for inclusion problems. T e ke 23:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

And for your information, the author of this article is not in the band, doesn't not appear in any of the text and is not referred to in any way. Maybe you should review the definition of vanity.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.222.240.11 (talk • contribs).

But this is our website and we do decide what goes on it. -- RHaworth 19:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

(with apologies to the next author for interpolating) -- Ah, the famed Wiki-Cabal finally admits its existence. -- SockpuppetSamuelson 07:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes! OUR website. it doesn't depend on you, or the two other people who appear on this page. there are millions of wikipedia users. how do you know that the majority of them don't want this site? When you are running out of server space and need the 500kb that this article uses up let me know and i will be more than willing to give it up for a better cause. Until then...mind your own business.

Speedy Delete per criterion A7. The article about this "little known band" provides no verifiable evidence of notability. Cheers! Docether 19:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Would you like to hear a song as proof? You must consider yourself the source of all music knoweledge if you can justifiably decide that this band doesn't exist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.222.240.11 (talk • contribs).

Whether or not the band exists is a nonissue. When judging music-related articles for inclusion in Wikipedia, notability is the currency of the realm ... and that's what we're failing to find. Proof of notability is the responsibility of the article's creator or editors. Perhaps instead of responding to every "delete" vote in this thread, you might take it upon yourself to furnish verifiable proof of the band's notability, and save the article from deletion. (Sadly, "would you like to hear a song" is not proof of notability -- see WP:NMG for examples of what -is-.) When creating other articles in the future, you might consider being proactive and including proof of notability as part of the article when you write it, thus avoiding this scenario altogether. Best, Docether 20:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Existence is not the same thing as notability. My left foot exists, but you won't find an article on it on Wikipedia because it just isn't important enough to warrant one. Same goes for this band. Reyk _YO! 20:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Your left foot may not have an article on Wikipedia, but mine does. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) Docether 21:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

That is interesting. You seem to think that people want to know that you are 23, like beer, science and good books? Surely your foot would be more interesting? I think the discrepancy between my ideas and your is that you seem to think that somehow an article which may not interest everybody is not worth placing on wikipedia. Why does this matter? It makes no different to anyone's surfing pleasure, doesn't offend anyone, and can by its existence only be beneficial. There are one and a half million articles on wikipedia. What's one more or less? I think that maybe you should all worry a little more about contributing information yourselves onto this site rather than imposing your non existent authority on others who are just trying to get in the spirit of things. You don't own wikipedia, you don't control wikipedia and you have no right to presume that your vote counts for the whole world.

[edit] NMDE

I'm bringing this to AfD without a specific recommendation as I believe it needs wider community input. I have been unable to find anything about the NMDE through Google (and in edit summaries it was specified they do not have a website). This is basically the party's manifesto, so I believe it fails under original research. Perhaps the article could be edited down to remove the OR, but that wouldn't leave much and would need sources as its currently unverifiable. Note: though this organization's views are utterly abhorent please don't comment on the basis of the content Gw e rnol 16:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Relisting debate per DRV; I have no opinon on this matter. Archive DRV. - Mailer Diablo 17:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete non notable artist and per WP:MUSIC. --Strothra 18:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
If the additional information brought forward in the DRV is added to the article, I'll say keep. This would be a change to my original vote (a weak delete). Ac@osr 19:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Disclosure: I am a main contributor to the article and in fact started it. Artist is notable, at least meets the WP:Music criteria in spirit, and probably meets them in fact. Prhizzm has two substantial releases on a notable electronic label, has been featured on the CBC and BBC, as well as in Eye Weekly, a popular entertainment weekly in Toronto. See the deletion review for my full argument for keeping the article and references to the claims. OZLAWYER talk 19:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete as per WP:MUSIC and WP:VAIN. A few EP's doesn't make him notable. -- P199 23:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- Again, WP:MUSIC is a guideline which sets out a series of arguments for notability that this band meets. How, exactly, does deleting "per WP:MUSIC" work with that in mind? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 20:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete while i've heard of this artist (and seen him perform in TO) his insignificant number of releases on labels which themselves are insignificant does not help him pass the WP:MUSIC guidelines. The only label he has released on with any claim to notability is Benbecula (and even then they're barely notable outside the genre). Even more sad is the biography posted by his label is equally pathetic in content. Phrizzm doesnt come close to the popularity or notability of Venetian Snares (to compare to another Toronto music act). Sorry, just not worthy of a bio on WP yet per guidelines. ALKIVAR™ 02:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good old time, but delete per nom, I fear. PJM 17:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep While I'm sure that judgement comes from a lot of experience, it doesn't feel like there's much consideration involved. The notability of OpenBBQ/OpenJam isn't just the purpose stated, but that it's 1) the first event of this kind, and 2) that it is a charity benefit event for what is arguably a notable debate going on in the Raleigh, NC area. Wouldn't the philanthropic nature of this event make it notable? As for the localness and the fact that it's only one day, I would argue that the Austin City Limits Music Festival is also a local festival that started with only two days. Since there is no official notability policy, I guess I'd like to see a little more argument for why this wouldn't be considered notable. Where is that line? What makes one event important and one not? --Mattfrye 17:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment The Austin festival would not have met Wikipedia's standards when it was first launched, either. However, it later became notable. Fan1967 17:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- I'm actually planning to AfD the other Structure articles depending on how this discussion goes. --InShaneee 04:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  - In all fairness to that could I pester you to wait a little while? If the merging of the strucutures pages proves to be an acceptable compromise then there will not be any reason to delete the other pages. When I created the pages I designed them to ebe and flow to conform to wikipedia’s policies and guidelines, but for them to be reborn in a more acceptable form means coordinating a large amount of info, and that job only gets harder if there happens to be a time limit on the construction, as is the case here.

Comment In other words, totally unverifiable. - Fan1967 17:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete unverifiable because it's complete rubbish. IEEE knows nothing about a "A Tavsanoglu", (though it knows plenty about Vedat Tavsanoglu, who really was a prominent electronc engineer). The current VP of IEEE is Moshe Kam. Goldman Sachs has never heard of him either. Someone with an overdeveloped fantasy life. DJ Clayworth 18:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment written about IEEE was incorrect, however he is the son of Vedat Tavsanoglu. They have worked together on numerous publications. Goldman Sachs is not a person, it is regarded as being one of the leading investment banks in the world.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tavsanav (talk • contribs).

Question Can you verify any of this, from a reliable source. You would think someone with all those accomplishments, who had dated Jennifer Anniston and Denise Richards, would have appeared in print somewhere, if it were true. Fan1967 18:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Note. Per Google scholar, Vedat Tavsanoglu has published about 15 papers since 2000. None show a co-author named Tavsanoglu. Fan1967 18:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

When Ali Tavsanoglu was dating Jennifer Aniston and Denise Richards were minor celebrities at that time. So there is no possible way of verifying this. About the publications, Ali Tavsanoglu's initials are A V Tavsanoglu. So this is why it may get a bit confusing on the publications.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tavsanav (talk • contribs).

Comment It's not confusing at all. The citations are perfectly clear: "V Tavsonoglu" with no "A" and no co-author who shares the same last name. Fan1967 19:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Oscar Levant. Fan1967 19:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

What more evidence do you want? THEY WERE MINOR CELEBRITIES. If you really want to know ask Jennifer Aniston or Denise Richards. About the publications, my middle initial is always when publishing papers. This is a cultural thing. You won't understand unless you are turkish.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tavsanav (talk • contribs).

Comment But you claim you coauthored them with your father. If that were so, there would be two Tavsanoglus listed. There aren't, just like IEEE never had a vice-president by that name. Fan1967 19:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Plus V. Tavsanoglu's name is given in full here, and it is not Ali. If you really are the son of Vedat Tavsanoglu I hope he's pleased that you are claiming to author his papers. DJ Clayworth 19:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Mate, you don't know how publications are done. And of course he is proud of me.

User:Tavsanav has started inserting his own name into articles like Doris Day and The O.C. so I think we can forget about any idea that he is actually telling the truth. DJ Clayworth 19:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

There are too many footballers in the world to make this list maintainable. A category would surely serve the purpose better.

[edit] Pink Floyd trivia

I have nominated this article because of the use of the word "trivia", which is defined by wiktionary as insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information. This puts the article in direct conflict with my understanding of the following Wikipedia guidelines:

Articles title assumes that the information therin is trivial, violating NPOV
If we are to assume that the articles information is indeed trivial then it is violating Imporance.
Finally being that a trivia list is inherintly a list of random facts, this article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not.

Some or all of the information in this artile may be good however, it should be integrated into proper places within established articles. For advice on how this may be accomplished you might want to look at: Wikipedia:Trivia and User:GK/On adding trivia to the main body of an article. The_stuart 17:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge and delete i think some of the information may be relevant in other pages, but as much as I love Pink Floyd, I don't see the need for a free-standing article. -- stubblyh ea d | ^T/_c 18:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep The information in the article is both important and interesting. It is possible that this is not the best use of the word "trivia" and the article should be renamed or reorganized, but that doesn't mean the article gets deleted. Additionally, it doesn't appear that the nominator made an attempt to seriously evaluate the article before nominating it. I don't agree with nominating an article based on a word in its title. Aguerriero (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete The nomination pretty much says everything. This page is certainly an indiscriminate list of information, and importance is definitely an issue. I think we can put this article in the "fancruft" category. -- Kicking222 19:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete - Doesn't really need its own separate "trivia" article. Wickethewok 19:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Rename - split from already large Pink Floyd, seems no reason to delete material on the basis of the article title containing the word trivia, but propose rename to Cultural references to Pink Floyd in order not to offend the sensibilities of the nominator. I agree with the sentiments, but it will all end in tears. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:52, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep but rename per angus in order to clarify the worth of this article. Many of the things in this article are not trivial, especially the items in the miscellaneous section, and the info about cycles and synchronicities. I understand wanting to divide it up among the respective albums, but it is nice to have everything here in one place. However, some of the more speculative pieces, such as Bill Clinton's dog's name being a reference to the song of the same name, should be removed or cited. --Joelmills 01:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Rename, reorganize, maybe trim a bit, but deletion seems overly drastic. Certainly there is a great deal of potential interest here, though I would be the first to admit it's poorly organized and some of it could go. PurplePlatypus 02:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletion is too drastic, the article is a great start and quite informative.Siraf 04:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep Objection to this article on the ground that "trivia" breaches Wiki's NPOV and "importance" values is specious. I agree that some of the material is too trivial to include, but certainly the cycles and synchs deserve to be kept.Grimhim 10:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge Speculative items need citations. Alot of the content is valid and should be merged with Pink Floyd.
Strong Keep (but rename it if it's such a big deal) - much of this information is precisely the kind of thing which people look to the Wikipedia for, but which most users consider too trivial to include in the main article, which is already bursting at the seams. That doesn't necessarily mean that the information is in any way trivial to someone looking for information about the band, such as synchronicities and the band's cultural influences, nor does it imply things too trivial to include in the Wikipedia. Much information which is "uncited" are direct observations - what citation is needed for mentioning a Dark Side of the Moon poster in a television series, clearly observable to anyone watching the episode? - dharm a bum 10:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep This article has a purpose and an interest. I see no reason for it to be deleted. Merging would only serve to lengthen the already long original article.

Keep -- I'm certain this article was split to avoid an overly long article at Pink Floyd. Perhaps a rename to Pink Floyd facts or a more suitable less-trivial name is in order. - Longhair 02:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep - this should be seen as associated to the main Pink Floyd and linked from there. -- Beardo 03:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- It is; like all the rest of the Pink Floyd sub-articles (Publius Enigma, etc.) it's linked in the large template box. - dharm a bum 04:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep - Merging it with the main article would make it too large. Better to keep and trim.

Keep but rework. Most information is interesting but doesn't fit into the main article because of it's size. The trivia list should be expanded with valuable information and sectioned to enhance the main article Madonna (entertainer). There has been a section about "influences" and so on suggested on the talk page of the main article. Instead a section in the main article it should become a seperate article (because of size). So the trivia list could become "Cultural references to Madonna" (like suggested by Angus McLellan above) but also the other way around "Cultural influences on Madonnas work". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bisco (talk • contribs) .

Keep - Way too long to merge with main article. I have to take issue with two of the nom's main points. The word trivia is well established in describing relatively unimportant aspects of pop culture, so I do not think it is POV. Trivia is not listed under Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information because it is not a list of loosely associated information - it is very much associated with the main topic. As to importance, well, the nom makes a valid point, but for a popular show like this, it is acceptable to have relativly unimportant facts in their own article (again, one that is as long as this). --Joelmills 01:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep Trivia can be notable. --MarsRover 04:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Since it doesn't seem possible to merge with main article due to size constraints, keep per User:Joelmills. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep - It's rediculous if you think this information doen't belong in wikipedia because of some technicality that doesn't even apply to this article. It might be a good idea to merge the page if there were only a handfull of trivia items, but this is a huge amount of information and could not possibly be merged with the article. --Glaze 17:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep - It's my belief that Wikipedia's rules are a guide, not hard-and-fast rules for which she would get lost in their minutiae. The trivia page is too big to be incorporated into the main article but it is the kind of interesting sub-article that people looking for information on That '70s Show might like to read. This isn't a print encyclopedia where we're worried about space, so an article like this that offers an interested reader more in-depth information that they might not find elsewhere is something that should stay. DetectiveFork 19:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep - Delete this and you'll have to get rid of the vast amounts of useless Star Wars, Star Trek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, (etc, etc) information which so many people have wasted so much of their time on. It might as well stay (besides, I want to read it). - Rik
Keep - The article is far too long to incorporate into the main article, and editing it to fit would not do the main article justice. It isn't causing any harm by being separate, and is very informative besides. --Mike 07:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep- We shouldn't delete something like this because of a few technicalities. This article is damn well informative and should be kept for people to peruse. Besides, it's too long to merge with the main article. Candidates for deletion should be articles on esoteric topics, and "That '70s Show" is definitely not little-known. If everyone in here is too concerned about such trivial (pun unintended) details, then the simplest way to fix the problem is to change the title of the article. --User:Inviktos
Keep! Please! - This is way too long to merge back into the main article. The main article was a mess when most of this stuff was part of the article. Separating this material into a separate trivia page helped clean up the article for That 70s Show. If you read the Wikipedia:Trivia article, you'll see that while Wikipedia policy is not to promote trivia, it does not ban it. Obviously plenty of people feel that the That 70s Show trivia meets the qualification for being interesting enough to keep. Wryspy 08:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of John Lennon Trivia

I have nominated this article because of the use of the word "trivia", which is defined by wiktionary as insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information. This puts the article in direct conflict with my understanding of the following Wikipedia guidelines:

If we are to assume that the articles information is indeed trivial then it is violating Imporance.
Finally being that a trivia list is inherintly a list of random facts, this article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not.

Keep "Trivia" is a commonly used term on Wikipedia, I don't think that's a valid reason for deletion. In addition, the trivia section was in the main Charmed article, and it was placed in its own article because of its size. —MiraLuka 23:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep Wikify and keep. H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 23:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep Trivia has been split off because it was too long. I have already proposed deletion of irrelevant trivia items but even basic trivia is too long for the main article. AdamDobay 00:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Addition: The article contains relevant information that does not fit in the main article but is important nevertheless, such as references in popular culture. I suggest pruning the trivia down to the information relevant to the show, adding why it is relevant (such as the end-of-season door closing that has become a trademark of the show). AdamDobay 10:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Addition #2: Restructuring the article perhaps shows better that it contains notable information that is not insignificant.
- If the information within this article is important, sifnificant, relevent, or notable then the article is incorrectly titled if you note the definition of "trivia". Although not an easy task, wouldn't it make more sense to put of these things into various places within the main article? --The_stuart 01:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I created this page to solve a problem - namely, that the headline London Underground article was way, way too big and unstructured. It's a subject about which there are a lot of factoids and bits of information which are interesting but not interesting enough for the already-bloated main page. This page provides somewhere for them to go - otherwise they would just start appearing back on the headline article again, leading to more reversions, more editor effort, and more edit wars as people battle over what's important enough to be on the headline article and what's not. In short, this page is there for a reason! --Mike 18:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep - per Mike. The information on this page is useful to hundreds of people looking for information such as this. Most articles would have it on the main article, but the London Underground article is far too bloated already. DJR (Talk) 18:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep - I have contributed to this article and consider it worthwhile to retain it as a stand-alone page. As has been pointed out, this page does not represent original research but instead acts as a catalogue of facts about London's underground system which are circulated amongst Londoners much as one might circulate jokes or indeed any meme of information. I'd say this page is already the best record on the Internet of such facts and should hence be retained. 'Trivia' in the title of the page is being used in a far less pejorative sense than "things which are trifling or unimportant", and is instead being used more in the sense of "bite-sized facts". I think trivia is the best title for the page but perhaps we could work on an alternative title referring to 'facts'.

~~Oppose~~ Keep, if Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, what, then, is the point of having Trivia on any Wikipedia page? This page was made so that such trivia wouldn't clutter up season articles or the main article, and at the very least the page is organized, and not merely an assorment of random facts. --HansTAR 21:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I think HansTAR was trying to say that the trivia shouldn't go on the Amazing Race pages because there is too much and it would create clutter. I believe he is saying the trivia page is where all this trivia belongs to keep the season pages and the main page clean and not having to require a clean-up flag. Is this what you meant HansTAR?TeckWiz 21:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep As HansTAR said, this page reduces clutter on the other race pages. The other pages have enough info. Merging it would make the articles longer than prefered. A lot of the trivia is good and most of it is true and should stay. Like I said, most, so it does need a little clean-up. Also, the reason this page was AFD'd was because it is "The Amazing Race Trivia. So, we could also move this page to a name like "The Amazing Race Facts" or another title suggested by someone else.

If I may say this: what may be non-notable and unimportant to some might be perfectly well-fitted in an encyclopedia for others. I, for example, could care less about a list of songs performed on American Idol (which, to me, seems just as "fan-ny" as this article). However, if ever I need to do research for American Idol, I know that good ol' Wikipedia contains just the list I need. Same with Amazing Race trivia. I'm all for changing the title and trimming any completely unnecessary details, but, again, I cite that this is not merely a random assortment of facts, but an organized list in the same manner as that American Idol list. --HansTAR 05:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Trivia about Hungarian producer Gabriel Pascal

I have nominated this article because of the use of the word "trivia", which is defined by wiktionary as insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information. This puts the article in direct conflict with my understanding of the following Wikipedia guidelines:

Articles title assumes that the information therin is trivial, violating NPOV
If we are to assume that the articles information is indeed trivial then it is violating Imporance.
Finally being that a trivia list is inherintly a list of random facts, this article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not.

Some or all of the information in this artile may be good however, it should be integrated into proper places within established articles. For advice on how this may be accomplished you might want to look at: Wikipedia:Trivia and User:GK/On adding trivia to the main body of an article. The_stuart 17:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete and merge any verifiable info, if necessary, into Gabriel Pascal. PJM 18:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge and delete per nom. Caveat lector 19:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I created the page in question, and would suggest deleting rather than merging. These points are interesting and fun to know, but are not really appropriate for a proper encyclopedic article. They do not add any important information to Pascal's life. They are just odd "fun facts" left over from spending a long time researching him for the main article. I wouldn't suggest merging them with the main article because it will degrade the quality and sobriety of that article. So my vote is for deletion if it is not appropriate for List of trivia lists under Wikipedia rules. Chris 21:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep - what's with all this hatred for trivia? Like the author says we shouldn't be merging tons of trivia back in main articles. --MarsRover 04:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
~~Merge~~ is the best option as most of this information should be in the article. It provides valuable insights into Pascal's life, career and character. It lends more colour. That is not a bad thing. Also the article is curiously deficient in parts. We have the information about the will and the court battle, but the outcome is separated out into the "trivia" article. That doesn't make sense. I don't regard most of this information as trivial. To leave them out is virtually censoring the main article and not providing a full rounded picture. Tyrenius 23:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Note that the main article links to the trivia list under "See also," so nothing is lost by keeping it separate. While some might merge nicely (like his missing son and his earlier film career), some of the odder things in the trivia list just don't seem to warrant Encycopedic mention, such as his peculiar nicknames by his guru or that he was naked when he got into movies and when he met Shaw. Just a thought to consider. Maybe this could be solved by merging some and deleting the rest. People can always read the biographies for the other material. Chris 01:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree! Peculiar nicknames by guru give an insight into what was going on behind the public image, and the naked bit too, especially with Shaw. It fleshes out (excuse pun - not intended, honest) the facts. Tyrenius 01:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I have started to try to merge some of the material into the main article. I hope it doesn't make the article too informal. Chris 14:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete - Almost all the material has now been merged into the main article, and the part about David Lean co-directing "Major Barbara" has been moved to Wiki's David Lean article. I still haven't figured out how to explain how Margaret Scott paid his debts to his mistress, his last option payment on "My Fair Lady," and his hospital bill on his death-bed -- later to be repaid from the estate (actually her daughter was repaid from the estate as Margaret either jumped or fell out of a window to her death in NY before the settlement came through), and various other tid-bits such as that he didn't drink, but smoked cigars profusely to the point where Shaw became alarmed. Perhaps these are truly trivial in the sense that they are unimportant. I may still see if they can also be included in a coherent way. I will wait till the end of the 5 day arbitration in case there are more votes to keep the Trivia page. I don't know how to delete it, so I will leave that to an administrator. Chris 16:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I have now moved everything over to the main article. If anyone wants to remove this trivia entry, be my guest. I don't know how to do it. I think the inclusions actually improved the article and I am greatful for all the input and support. I also want to add that I am very proud of the Gabriel Pascal Wikipedia article now as it is the only article about Pascal over one paragraph long on the entire World Wide Web and all facts are from quality published sources. Chris 21:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chris I'd like to congratulate you on the article, which I think is a credit to Wikipedia, and thanks for taking up the suggestion to incorporate what was on the "trivia" page into the main page to provide a "one stop" on him. Tyrenius 00:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete (changed from merge, above) now that the article editor Chris has moved the info into the main article. I have blanked the page, now the information is a duplicate.Tyrenius 00:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Tyrenius, I think this all worked out for the best. I also deleted the link from List of Trivia Lists on Wikipedia. Chris 00:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that the deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia, and particularly, to this article, are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely by the closing Administrator.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, or making your opinion known here, no matter how new you may be: we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff, because this is not a vote. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

This must be one of the strangest incomplete AfD nominations I've ever seen before... the article had a note saying "This article is currently being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion process", but no link to a discussion, and the notice read nothing else -- anyways, here it is now, and I don't think anything that was created yesterday should have its own article on Wikipedia, unless it's notable enough to make the main page's "In the News" section, in which case there wouldn't be any argument anyways.

[edit] Luc Verhelst

Reason : Notability

Reason : The page was created by user 1652186 to make a point. See User_talk:LucVerhelst#Your_very_own_article

LucVerhelst 18:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Stong keep. I deny in the strongest possible way that I created this article under WP:POINT. The reason is indeed the keeping of another article, but I was told that articles on all MPs are acceptable. I therefore also see articles about political party fraction leaders as justified. I think that the data in the article show that Mr. Verhelst is notable. The reason that he wants this article deleted is so that his discussion partners would be unable to find out that he is politically bound and therefore biased in political discussions about his oppontens. 1652186 18:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I'm happy to announce that Mr. Verhelst has chosen to share his political background on his user page. I therefore retract my comment of him wanting to keep it undisclosed, with my apologies to him. 1652186 18:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Question: MPs are kept under the part of WP:BIO saying "Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature"; so is the district council for a district of the entire country (which would make it a state or province) or a district of the city of Antwerp? AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 21:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Answer : it's a district of the city of Antwerp, two levels below the provincial level, 4 levels below the federal/national level. You can fairly say that the notability on that level is rather low... --LucVerhelst 21:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. It seems to me that Luc Verhelst appears to be a councillor and as such our guidelines for councillors apply. The critical issue here is how much verifiable material from reliable sources is available about him as well as the size of the population of the city. Capitalistroadster 21:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete: To my feelings, an article on a living person (or of whom the descendents are likely to feel envolved) should not become created unless:

the person belongs to a category of which all members get a page; or
after the person's (or descendents') explicit consent,

AND the person (or a representative descendent) is timely notified when the article will be submitted; or

the reasonably assumed interest by readers of the article, outweighs the interest of its submitter,

AND the article is well-balanced, well-referenced, and sufficiently complete from start,

AND

no revellation or omission of known fact(s) might hurt the interest or feelings of the person, or
an administrator is timely notified when the article will be submitted,

AND

the person has a clear public significance, or
the name of the person is considered public domain, that is in this respect: must have sufficiently occurred in the press or other acceptable references.

Though it seems to me that this allows for an article on Luc Verhelst, while undoubtedly readers may find such interesting, I do have serious doubts about the interest of the submitter: the content of the initial article does not give the impression that sufficient information is given so as to fulfill the eagerness of readers. With respect for both parties in a discussion that has been going on between them (and myself) for the last couple of days, this very fact should have made creation of the article improper. As an anonymous submitter, I am quite conscious of Luc Verhelst signing his articles by what I assume to be his real name. One can not write such article on my name or on the name of people using an alias, whatever my or their public role might be. Since Luc Verhelst can hardly be allowed to write his own article, it should disappear ASAP. -- 213.224.87.185 2006-05-26 07:04 (UTC)

I'll totally admit that I could be wrong, but it looks like the vanity guidelines say that it's more of a cause for editing out the vain parts rather than deleting the article, and I believe the offending content has been removed, and the Cubscast article now appears to be totally objective. It seems to me that you guys are singling out one article, sometimes judging it by standards which exceed Wikipedia's guidelines (maybe using what you wish the guidelines were). There are countless examples as previouisly mentioned about other podcast entries which have no real merit (unlike this one), yet for some reason have faced no opposition, and are still included in Wiki. The real question becomes, what rules does the current edit violate? Your initial reaction was very justified, but the article has now been edited. I don't see why you can't work with the creator to make it "acceptable" instead of trying to delete it alltogether, while allowing hundreds of less-qualified entires to stay. Claytonb1987 21:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Response - Well, I'll admit I don't know if WP has guidelines for what to do if the article is created, but I do that writing about yourself/your organization is explicity a bad article idea. Wickethewok 22:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Response I think I caused a lot of this trouble because I was the one that pointed out to them that they should have an entry. I should have added the entry myself, rather than telling them they should. But what’s done is done and the article now appears fine. I think everyone (even the orignal author) agrees the original article was in violation, but now that the article has been amended, I don’t see how it’s in violation at all. It’s objective, relavanet and follows the guidelines. If you’d like me or someone else outside Cubscast to add the same entry strictly out of quasi-principle, fine, but that just seems silly. CaptainSer 23:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Yep, pretty blatant. Must really be diehard fans if they're trying after the last four weeks. Fan1967 19:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment After the edit, no longer blatant spam, but still non-notable, and fails WP:WEB. Fan1967 20:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Sorry, we're new at this. We've taken down the propaganda and given it an objective angle. How is a podcast that has been broadcast multiple times a week for over a year non-notable? A ton of other sports podcasters have borrowed ideas from our show. If people want to find out how to run a sports podcast, I can't think of a better resource.blueberryln 20:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I don't understand. Hundreds of podcasts are profiled on Wikipedia...this is written from an objective perspective. We're not reinventing the wheel here, we'd just like an entry. If you have specific suggestions, please make them known.

Keep. FWIW, there are many similar podcasts that already have articles, and many of them are smaller, much newer shows, so I don't really see a problem with this one. Claytonb1987 21:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I'm not really up on the slang, but i assume by 'sockpuppet,' you're suggesting that user blueberryln made me up as a fake account to comment here. I do know him, and am an avid supporter of Cubscast, but we live over 2000 miles apart. Feel free to check our IP addresses. As I understand it, Wiki is supposed to be a venue to share information, and all we're trying to do is create a page that fits your guidelines, even though so many other podcasts that you let slip through don't even come close to your standars. If you have a problem with the entry, we would greatly appreciate your suggestions to get it to a point where it meets the criteria. I apologize if blueberryln or I have done anything offensive, as it has not been intentional. I feel like the outside links to non-trival published content on the article qualify the entry.Claytonb1987 23:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- Re: Sure... - I did come on specifically to help the case (I'm not a sock puppet) because I am a fan of this podcast and they aren't violating any rules now, right? I use Wikipedia all the time, love it, and this seems fine to me after changes. If not, tell them what to fix, I'm sure they will. CaptainSer 23:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  - Read the above sign for a response. Wickethewok 00:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  - The sign didn't answer my question. As an established user, now that it has been edited, how does the entry violate any of your guidelines? Also, there is already a massive list of podcasts on Wikipedia, many of which are much smaller and have no outiside sources to validate them. CaptainSer 00:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

If there are podcasts less notable than this on Wikipedia, they too should be deleted. Wikipedia has standards for notability. For an extreme example, you can't write about friend's dog for a Wikipedia article. Because of Wikipedia has such standards, you must prove a subject's notability in order for it to be on Wikipedia. Wickethewok 00:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
The Chicago Tribune found it notable enough to write articles on it multiple times. RedEye newspaper in Chicago also did a color feature on it. WGN radio, one of the largest stations in the world, interviewed a host of the show about the popularity of podcasts and this podcast in particular. Celebrities find it notable enough to go on the show. Many thousands of people a day listen to it. Is that not notable? CaptainSer 01:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

A local color feature, especially in something like RedEye, which has, let's face it, a lot of fluff, is not really a good indication. Also, there's a difference between something that may be considered notable locally (and just about anything about the Cubs is notable in Chicago) and what should be considered notable in a worldwide encyclopedia. I don't know about the number of downloaders: what is the bar for a podcast? I suspect the listeners for one team's fanbase are much smaller than a lot of podcasts with wider appeal. Fan1967 17:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Then I guess it's a good thing that the RedEye article isn't the only outside source that proves notability, but one of several. Have you guys actually looked at the new edit of the Cubscast Wiki entry?? Certainly you consider a New York affiliate of NPR, WGN Radio, and an in-flight magazine as better sources. 2 of those are non local, and WGN is broadcast nationwide if not world wide. Not to mention the huge feature in the Chicago Tribune. Also, the fan base might be smaller for a niche podcast, but because WGN is a national/worldwide station there are cubs fans literally everywhere. And, as it has been argued here before, Wiki currently hosts articles on 113 other podcasts besides Cubscast. Most of them are much, much, much smaller and lesser known, and a huge majority of them dont have ANY outside sources linked from their articles. Claytonb1987 17:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

WGN-TV is broadcast worldwide. WGN radio is strictly local. Fan1967 17:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, regardless, WP:WEB makes no such local/national distinction, and Cubscast has provided other non-local examples in addition to the ones which you personally could consider local. WGNradio is also freely available on their website, which makes it internationally accessible. Claytonb1987 18:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
WGN radio was also an original clear channel station, so they are local if you consider millions and millions of people and a 6 state reach local. I'm not sure an entire region of the US including one of the largest cities in the world should be called local. I also happened to listen to the interview on the internet in Canada. CaptainSer 18:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

According to the guidelines that have been set forth by Wikipedia, this page for Cubscast appears to fully qualify in the arena of notability. Cubscast is a premiere sports podcast and consistently voted in the top of its category on PodcastAlley.com. If there are other areas it does not qualify in, please make them known. Otherwise we'd appreciate the removal from the "articles for deletion" category. Thanks. blueberryln 01:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Like Monkeys

Speedied as patent nonsense and undeleted after being sent to deletion review. See the discussion - some pointed out that it was non-notable, while the nominator thought it was a notable Internet Phenomenon. RN 20:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Not encyclopedic in any way. "very little point other than comedic value" and not much of that. Fan1967 21:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete. There is no encyclopedia article here. Rossami (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- The article may have taken some time to show up since it was just recently reinstated. Try refreshing. - Tomodachigai
Keep or merge. I continue to contend that there is some notability in the article. First, I believe it meets the standards in WP:WEB for notabilty under the clause:

Web specific-content[3] is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.

And while I can make no judgements to the triviality or not of the sites it's contained on. There are certanly multiple publications of the I Like Monkeys peom (existing on at least 100 separate websites). Which also makes it source independent. While there may not be enough content to qualify for a article of it's own, I believe it desurves a place in the Internet Phenomenon article at the very least. - Tomodachigai

Comment If it's to be kept as an internet phenomenon, it's going to need a lot better citation than "Several blogs and forums." - Fan1967 21:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete - Not enough possible content for an article on this. At most, a mention in another article. Wickethewok 21:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete Not even a mention somewhere else is needed, and it definitely should not be listed anywhere in the vicinity of the Internet phenomenon page. There's no background info on the poem (the article itself claims nobody knows who wrote it). I Googled the first three sentences of the poem (in quotes, of course), and got 75 Google hits, all of which were on blogs. No reliable sources have ever referenced it. In short, there's no notability here at all. -- Kicking222 22:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete - it's not a phenomenon yet; it borderlines on a weblog of vandalism - Richardcavell 22:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- The problem isn't that it's not a phenomenon yet, it's that it was a phenomenon in the 1990's and it's popularity is winding down (see Internet Phenomenon for more information on how they work)
Comment. To me, the goal of an encyclopedia is to answer the questions "What is it?" and "Where did it come from?". The article answers both of these questions. Even if the answer to the latter is "No one knows". What a delete suggests is that this article not only has no value, but that, because of it's existance, it actually detracts from the Wikipedia. I created this article because I myself wondered those very questions, and I must admit, I was somewhat surprized when the article didn't exist. So I did the research, and found the answers myself. Maybe not the ones I wanted, but the only answers availaible. Then I figured I'd put that research to use, so that not only could I help others looking for the same answers that I was. But also, add to a part of the Wikipedia where it was lacking.

The article wasn't even given a fair chance for survival, having been speedy deleted almost as soon as it was created. It was originally thought to be "nonsense" or a "test page". Then the article had to go through the undeletion process, to finally arrive here at AfD. With only one contributer (myself), and a few hours of live time, of course it's small and undeveloped. All I ask is that you give this article a chance. Thank you. - Tomodachigai

This is it, Tomo. This is the chance. I admit I did not support its restoration on the DRV, but only because I knew what the result would be (hint: look at the above votes). They didn't vote "delete" because it's small and undeveloped; they voted for deletion because there is no potential for it to grow, or to develop. All "I like monkeys" is is a funny story. There are lots of them. It was briefly popular about 6-10 years ago, but it never rose to an Internet phenomenon like "All your base are belong to us" did. The latter was featured in a major syndicated comic strip, without further explanation (thus showing that Bill Amend thought a good number of his readers would get it); the former is ... just a funny story. (Not even all that funny, in my opinion, but to each his own.) The question is, how does this help the encyclopedia? What useful information could possibly be written about this story that cannot be divined by simply reading the story itself? "No one knows who wrote it" is not useful, because it's not true; someone knows. Unless some external source has written something about this story, there's no encyclopedic content that can possibly be added to this article. It may be unfortunate, but that's the grim reality.

Keep notable pedophile rabbi. 129.10.244.136 20:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Strong Delete per Leifern and IZAK, particularly due to the WP:Libel issue. There is no indication that the case has even gone to trial yet, let alone reached a verdict. A mere "allegation" or "civil lawsuit" against a person is completely NN (unless the person is already notable, and even then it's questionable.) The only possible notability at this point is that he is an "Orthodox Jewish rabbi", making this a Man-Bites-Dog story. The article itself alludes to its NN, by acknowledging that the "impact [of the allegations] remains unclear." Bottom line: Delete now and revisit the issue once the criminal/civil cases are concluded and the societal impact becomes clear. --Nmagedman 11:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep I just got round to read back issues of New York magazine today. This already seems to be a big deal in the Orthodox community, judging by the letters page of the last issue, and its only likely to get bigger. About Izak's objections, I can say in response to both points, that (a) distortions and (b) potentially libellous statements are easily eliminated by Our Friend The Neutral-making Phrase, namely (say it with me) "It is alleged". If really terrified, add "unsubstantiated" and "in certain quarters". About Nmagedman's objections, yes, the point is that he is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, with charge of a yeshiva. That's why it is a news story, and thats why it seems people are discussing it and would wish to read about it. Your objection is the same as all the people who vote to delete the articles about that kid who disappeared in Aruba because the only possible notability comes from her being a pretty blonde. Yes! Tragically, it does. Irritates me too, but nothing to be done. Live with it. The world is imperfect. Etc., etc. Hornplease 08:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep - If only because Andrevan is going around flagging all these for deletion when certain ones, such as Mario Forever, should definitely be kept. The popularity of Mario Forever is what prompted me to make MarioWeen. It may not have had very many noteworthy mentions on magazines or on TV, but, well, a considerable amount of encyclopedic information on Wikipedia on software would have to be deleted on the same grounds. Andrevan is no doubt aware that nobody is going to defend these poor games; most folks come in and say, "Oh it fails WP: Software so I'll vote delete on principal" without even thinking of anything else. It's very one-sided and kind of sneaky, if you ask me. BlazeHedgehog 18:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

  - Your both coming across as pretty daft to be honest. For all your repeated claims of how significant this and other games have been, I've yet to see you ONCE come up with any of the proof that would save the article. WP:ILIKEIT says why merely saying 'It's popular' or 'I like it' doesn't cut it. We need news stories, and other associated THIRD-PARTY (translation: Nothing to do with the games creator) sources of information. If you can't get them, then Wiki policy states the article must be deleted. Blaze merely votes to keep something with no actual reason, and has recently been voting to keep solely based on who nominated the article, which is stupid, to be frank. And FYI Blaze, people are saying 'This article should be deleted because it fails to meet WP:X, Y and Z' because that's the point of having policies. They ensure standards are (supposedly) maintained and prevent cases like this where an article seems to be being used solely to attract more traffic to the creators site. Wiki is not an advertising service, and if someone can't be bothered to say WHY an article should be kept, then it wont be. If you think this article doesn't deserve to be deleted then prove us wrong. Find some news stories (and 7 word mentions in another article don't count either), put the information in the article, and cite them.The Kinslayer 09:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete Pearson is not a noted or remarkable or even particularly experienced videogame creator. On Metroid Prime 2, he is listed in the credits as one member of a team of 10-11 designers/design supporters, and is not listed as a senior designer or as game director.

Pearson seems to have worked as a junior designer in teams for a couple of games.

Do Not Delete

What on Earth are you talking about!?

This article is about Urbanates!, if you had read it you would know what that means!

It has NOTHING to do with "University of Florida merchandise" or any Song or Album by anyone!

As for it being a "neologism", Well if you had read the Reference links provided, you would see that the first link is to an article Written on the topic in 1955...

"Wilton lvie

- Technocracy Digest, Nov. 1955"

Now since when is a 51-year-old (at-least) word considered Neo-anything?

It is a perfectly legitimate Word and has been in use by the Technocracy Movement probably since it began in the 1930's. The term may not be widely known by most people today, but that does make it illegitimate, over the course of the 20th Century the word has most likely been spoken by Millions of people, just because you have never heard of it or it doesn't appear in many Google searches doesn't make it a neologism according to Wikipedia's rules.

If it is not in Dictionaries, then that is the fault of the Dictionaries, as I said it has been used for decades and printed in a vast amount of Publications.

I see nothing in the rules here WP:NEO, to warrant a deletion of the article, and nothing in the rest of your argument to warrant it either, I will be removing this template immediately unless you can show some sort of legitimate reason not to.

--Hibernian 23:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. The legitimate reason not to is that an AfD notice is left up until the debate is closed by an admin. Your opinion on whether the article should be kept has been noted. It certainly does not end the discussion. Please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Fan1967 14:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep. As Hibernian says, this is not a neologism. I'm not terribly familiar with the technocratic movement, but even so, I'm aware of the concept of urbanates having been around for a good while now, and from what I understand, they're a pretty important part of the whole philosophy. I think this is one of those situations where Google is not a great tool for gauging notability. At the very least this should not be deleted but merged to Technocratic movement. That said, I think the article should be kept, since it describes a fairly specific plan for a human environment, whereas the article about the movement is more about describing an ideology. -- Captain Disdain 01:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete WP:NEO. Very rare usage in this context. There's a usage regarding students at U of Florida, and a song by a guy named Urbaniak. After eliminating those, and Wiki and mirrors, only a handful of the remaining few dozen GHits [25] remotely apply to this usage. Doesn't seem to be in widespread use.

Keep per Captain Disdain. Aguerriero (talk) 17:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Weak Keep The article needs more context at the beginning to make it more clear. A single sentence on the technocratic movement would be good. Yes there is an article, I know, but still the article should be understandable on it's own. Still it seems to be worth keeping for the time being to allow the author to clean it up. I would also like to see some characterization of the size of the movement in this article to give proper context as well.--Nick Y. 18:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete. We need a new clear definition of notable. The alternate meanings are more common, but clearly not notable under {{db-band}} and {{db-bio}}. Why should this, even less common usage, be considered notable? — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Not that I don't see where you're coming from, but just the same, I think it's worth noting that notability does not equal popularity or commonality (and vice versa). -- Captain Disdain 01:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
  - But notability does mean, in the case of a word, have people heard of it, and do people use it? I don't see any use of this word outside the technocratic movement, or even any indication people are aware of it and don't see it deserving of a separate article. Fan1967 22:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
    - Well, this is an old debate. Take OGLE-TR-122b, for example. I'd be very surrpised if you'd ever heard of it (I certainly hadn't, until I looked it up just now), you most likely don't even know what it is until you click on the link, and chances are that most people you talk to won't have heard of it, either. (In fact, chances are that more people have heard of urbanates than that.) Yet saying that it isn't notable would be extremely foolish. The same applies to various subjects that are notable to experts or practicioners of a given field but to which the vast, vast majority of even well-educated people are completely oblivious -- for example, Brauer's theorem on induced characters or branes. I mean, I personally feel rather strongly that notability is an important criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia and implicit in the "not an indiscriminate collection of information" rule, but I also strongly feel that notability cannot be determined by popularity alone. Just because something is somewhat obscure doesn't mean it's not significant (and, in fact, that's where encyclopedias really are at their most useful, anyway -- when they provide information about topics that are not already common knowledge). Not that this is the most hugely important topic in the world by any stretch of imagination, but it's not exactly random trivia either. -- Captain Disdain 13:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
      - I'm sorry, I don't see the comparison between a rather unique scientific anomaly and a recondite word that a minor movement has tried, and failed, to spread for fifty years. Fan1967 19:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        It's hardly a question of spreading the word. It's a (pretty old) word that is used to describe an admittedly minor but nonetheless significant concept. Whether or not that concept is widespread is of secondary importance. Furthermore, I must repeat that judging the concept's importance by Google hits is not a great idea. Google is an awesome tool, but it often fails us on matters like this -- if you're looking for sexual acts or current events or something contemporary that is being done in the scientific community or something related to computers or pop culture, things that the internet is full of, it does very well. It is not a great tool for determining the importance of 50-year old concepts that are no longer popular or topical, either because of their enduring nature or by virtues of nostalgia or appeal to retrophiles. In fact, I suggest that if you are not at all familiar with a concept beforehand, you can't properly judge its significance without proper references. -- Captain Disdain 02:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        Just to be clear. I don't believe this is a 50-year-old concept that is "no longer popular or topical". It never was popular or topical. Fan1967 06:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        Is that assessment based on actual knowledge, or just belief? -- Captain Disdain 07:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        It's based on the fact that I've never heard the word, or read the word, or heard anybody use it. Do you have any reason to believe that in fact it once was popular or topical? Fan1967 21:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        Well, that's my point -- you haven't heard of it, but that's no different from not having heard about a particular star or a theory. Clearly, then, there are things that cannot be judged notable based on whether you have heard of them -- so in order to figure out whether they're significant, you need to do research. In this instance, the practical difference between urbanates and stars and theories is that the internet is full of information about the latter simply because of their nature -- but when it comes to obscure and even outdated concepts like this, Google just doesn't do very well with them. If people don't talk about it on the net, it doesn't show up. Point is -- and please don't take offense here -- I don't think you really know whether the topic is notable or not, and you don't have a basis for evaluating it. There may well be something published about the topic on paper that could be used as a better gauge of notability, but I don't think either of us has access to any such publication. As for me, I don't know enough of the background to really evaluate how significant it is in the grand scheme of things, either, but what I do know is that I have heard the word before, I have discussed the concept before, and to me it seems worthwhile enough to qualify for inclusion. That hardly makes me an expert on the matter, but it does indicate, to me, that this is not just something utterly insignificant someone made up on the fly. Yeah, it's pretty obscure, sure, and of minor importance, absolutely. But Wikipedia is not paper. We're not about to run out of space here. This is not a hugely important topic, but it's not a waste of space, either. It doesn't do anyone any harm. It's not original research. It's not vanity. It's not utterly trivial, and the concept's existence is verifiable. It's most certainly not a neologism (as claimed by the nominator). It may even be of use to someone who's researching the technocratic movement. It has some historical significance. This is a far cry from an article about someone's garage band or pet or teacher or random crackpot theory (not that I think the concept of urbanates is particularly realistic, but just the same, this is not gibberish spouted by a lone schizophrenic with a net connection) or whatever. And let me be honest here: I'm not going to pretend that I'm going to cry over this article if it ends up being deleted, because I can't say that I honestly care all that much about urbanates, and it is a minor topic. But as a matter of principle, this just strikes me as a very weak basis for deletion. As I said, I think notability matters a great deal, but I don't think it can be accurately measured just by Googling and whether someone's heard about it in situations like this. -- Captain Disdain 23:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        So your argument is that it might have been notable once, and Google wouldn't show it. Sorry, but this strikes me as a very weak basis for retention. Fan1967 01:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        Yes, well, it's not Wikipedia policy to remove articles on subjects that are no longer as notable as they were. Good thing, too; that would make for a pretty crappy encyclopedia. (Also, that's not exactly my argument, but rehashing it is unlikely to do make a difference here.) -- Captain Disdain 15:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
        
        But it is Wikipedia policy to require some verification that the notability was ever there in the first place. Fan1967 15:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment I think Captain Disdain is correct, it should be included if only for historical reasons (though that is certainly not the only reason to keep it). As I think has been established, it is not a Neologism or a made-up term, thus the original delete reason is not relevant. I do not currently have much evidence to present on how widespread the term ever was (mainly because most Technocracy related material is in paper form and only small pieces of it are online), however what I can say is that the Urbanate concept was an integral part of the Technocracy movement, and that movement certainly was/is Notable. It did once have a membership of something like half a million people in the U.S and Canada in the 30's and 40's, so it is quite probable that all of those members would have been familiar with the concept of Urbanates in at-least some way. The Movement still has several thousand members is North America today (though I don't know the exact numbers), and in recent years it has started to spread World-wide via the Internet (hence how I heard about it). I believe that does qualify it as a notable concept by Wikipedia rules. Now the Article may not be great (I did just write it myself as a short introductory piece to be added to later) and it is by no means complete. I am currently continuing research into the Concept and I hope other people with knowledge of it will also contribute. It will be expanded and explained better with further additions, (one of things I would like to research is the History of the Term, when Exactly it was come up with and by whom, etc.). So I would ask that this deletion template now be removed.--Hibernian 02:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, the deletion template is not going to be removed until the AfD process is complete, Hibernian. That's just the way it goes, and how it should be. I wouldn't worry; clearly, there's no clear consensus to delete the article. (No clear consensus to keep it, either, of course -- but we tend to keep things by default.) -- Captain Disdain 14:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep I agree that the article needs to be improved significantly, however the concept of Urbanates is as central to Technocracy as Energy Accounting. Without them a Technocracy could not achieve the performance rates that it claims. Most of the inefficiencies Technocracy purports to be able to fix are contained in the structure and design of cities; hence, Urbanates are designed to replace them. --Kolzene 09:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Superdelete No, no it's not. The article is an advertisement (created by, unsurprisingly, User:Kput). There's no genuine notability asserted. Their web site, kput.org, has no Alexa rank.

Delete - full of marketing wank. Signal to noise ratio too low. - Richardcavell 00:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment. I'm kind of unsure about this one -- the concept seems potentially notable enough, but it does indeed look like marketing wank. I'd love to see someone in the know weigh in on whether this is actually an article-worthy topic. Oh, and Geraint, please sign the messages you leave on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your posts.

Keep -- describes (admittedly another) UK Govt ploy for "care in the community". In this case, letting people die at home, to reduce the published statistics for deaths in hospitals. -- SockpuppetSamuelson

It's only "marketing" insofar as I think it's a good idea which health trusts across the UK are choosing to adopt freely. The whole point is to provide more support for the most complex patients in their own homes. There's no "government ploy", it's not under copyright idea, and I certainly don't make any money out of it!Geraintlewis 09:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Primary Care Trust, redirect and cleanup. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem with the idea of merging with Primary Care Trusts is that virtual wards are multisectoral, i.e. they cross over between health (PCT, hospital trust, ambulance trust, GP practice) as well as social care. We know that these complex patients nearly all have both health and social needs. Geraintlewis 16:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Ritacco Center

Reason Possible non-notable arena, could be only notable to the school district. Invitatious 00:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep - the facility is rather unique in that while it is used by the local school district for sporting events, presentations and graduations, etc., it is also used as a major regional concert and performance venue, as part of a public / private partnership. In this way, the use of the facility is maximized and revenue generated goes to benefit the school district. If there are specific reasons or criteria that this arena fails to meet, they should be identified. Alansohn 01:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Weak delete, and clean up if not deleted First off, this article needs clean up. It has a list of musicians who have played there ONLY to assert notability, not because the information is important. You wouldn't list every artist who's ever played at Radio City Music Hall, would you? In addition, the second paragraph is quite advertisement-y, and needs ot be changed a bit. Now, as per the actual deletion discussion: not to cancel out my fellow New Jerseyan's argument, but I simply don't think this arena is notable enough. I respect the fact that it's a somewhat interesting arena insofar as what it's used for, but I doubt it's the only one of its kind. While, in my reading of WP, I think a precedent has been set up for stadiums, this is only if they're of particular significance- for example, if a European soccer (footie) team plays its home games there, or if it's the largest concert venue in a certain state. 3,500 seats is rather sizable, but it's smaller than every minor league ballpark, and there's no way every (or even the vast majority) of minor league ballparks have their own articles. And the main use of the arena is just that of a school district, but that makes it no more notable than a high school football stadium. -- Kicking222 01:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
