[edit] Heim (onomastics)

Looks like a combination of OR, an unencyclopedic mishmash of indiscriminate information, and a recreation of info already at disambiguation pages. :) Dlohcierekim 13:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Although this article desperately needs cleanup, most of the information is not available elsewhere, as the links on the page all redirect back to this article. Could be useful once organized. - Runch 16:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep for now. Take a look at this RFC, this Med Cabal case, this other Med Cabal case, this user talk page for a currently blocked user, and this category and some of the other articles in it. To make a long story short for anyone who doesn't want to dig through all of that: this page and many, many others like it were created by an editor who spoke little english and wasn't interested in communicating with other community members. For a long time his edits were seen as helpful and valuable, but over the last few months the situation deteriorated as he constantly reverted people's attempts to clean up the messy and confusing pages he created, of which this is one. Finally he was blocked for his refusal to respond to the concerns of others. Right now the consensus is that these articles need drastic clean-up, but should not be deleted. User:Mo-Al and others are beginning to work on some of them, but it will take a long time before they get to them all. Give some people who have some idea what an onomastics article should look like a chance to work on this before nominating it for deletion. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 19:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delist for now. The whole batch of pages "improved" by Sheynhertz-Unbayg needs to be handled together. See also section Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Onomastic_pages_created_by_Sheynhertz-Unbayg that explains why fixing the situation will take lot of effort.

• Comment (from the user's blocking admin). Like most of the user's "onomastics" pages, this contains no verifiable info on onomastics. Unfortunately it currently serves as combination of several disambiguation pages, so simply deleting this will not decrease the headache. The page should be split into disambiguation pages for one last name each, then moved to a title for a single disambiguation page, and the indiscriminate collection of information removed. Please join the effort of cleaning up pages like this. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 06:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per ONUnicorn and Kusma -- Batamtig 06:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
