[edit] RENNtech

Non-notable company. It's local to Lake Park, Florida, according to the web site. dbenbenn | talk 00:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete as noted above. --KJPurscell 01:15, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete; non-notable. Jaxl | talk 02:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep after rewrite. Jaxl | talk 02:35, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete but only because it's poorly executed. "local to x" means almost nothing with regard to notability. it could be a world-renowned local facility. and yes, pages aren't supposed to be deleted because they're poorly written. that's bunk, and one of the reasons so many horrible pages are created here. SaltyPig 02:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC) Keep, considering improvements. still needs work though. SaltyPig 00:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rewrite - notable and major automotive tuner - just because they're "local" (which means they only have one facility) doesn't mean their tuned Benzes aren't reviewed in every major car mag out there. 16,700 Googles. FCYTravis 08:20, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The company has been around for a while and their models haven been reviewed in a fair number of car magazines. Pilatus 11:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete; non-notable. Dottore So 12:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete Non-notable company. Jachin 21:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I agree that notability doesn't require a huge amount of publiticy in the general press. I haven't personally verified the above claims, but I don't doubt them either... --Daedalus-Prime 23:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I've added links (found easily with a quick google) to support the assertions of being covered in major auto magazines. These guys aren't just your corner hotrod shop; they charge big money for their tuned Benzes, and the biggest magazines in the business have written about their products. If those who voted delete are still watching and would care to reconsider, I think we could safely remove this from VfD as being a definite keeper. Friday (talk) 00:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Coverage in major auto magazines. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

What did I do? This one, unlike most, is an orphan. Alr 02:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

There's been a lot of previous debate over schools (see Wikipedia:Schools). Many have been VfD'd in the past, but most were kept. Jaxl | talk 03:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm well aware of the problem with schools. If someone de-orphaned the article, I might be enclined to change my vote. Alr 03:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'd place it in a sub-list in List of schools in Canada myself, but it only has a list for schools starting with "A". Maybe just place it in the main list for now? Jaxl | talk 03:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

It's been listed alongside another school in the same district, School district 43, British Columbia. Wikipedia is slowly but surely expanding its schools coverage and sometimes you can see the dots join up like this. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 21:14, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment for those who came in late, statistics on school article deletion listings since May 1: Nominated: 164; deleted: 4; pending: 1 6. There may be slight differences with other people's tallies depending on how you define a "school" article, but this is for those articles which were placed on the Schoolwatch page and logged in the archives. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 00:52, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- And the point of this comment is what? Denni ☯ 02:17, 2005 August 30 (UTC)
- To convince those attempting to persuade Wikipedia to delete school articles that they could spend their efforts more profitably on something more worthwhile--such as building an encyclopedia. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 04:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  - Then it might have been a better idea to say just that. As it stands, it might be construed as a lecture for being naughty for suggesting such a delete, an attempt to subtly intimidate, or a little bit of the old na na na na boo boo <thumbs nose>. You should know that in VfD it is of especial importance to say what you mean. More to the point, what is it about suggesting the deletion of yetanother same old same old school that makes one =not= building an encyclopedia. Some of us see it as important that each entry should be judged on its own merits and should possess some degree of notability, not knee-jerked in because, oh, it's another school/mall/road/whatever. Denni ☯ 01:53, 2005 August 31 (UTC)
  - I suppose my comment could be interpreted as an attempt to dissect the Gettysburg address, but I don't take that suggestion any more seriously than I take the suggestion that it can be read as an attempt to lecture anyone for being naughty (it's addressed at those who don't know the history), and I can only regard with extreme skepticism the idea that giving accurate, neutral factual information can legitimately be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate. It sounds like sour grapes. This article will be kept, most likely with a majority against deletion. This will not be an extraordinary occurrence. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 22:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- I reverted this change by User:TimPope. Feel free to disagree. —RaD Man (talk) 08:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  - It could/should be pointed out that the vast majority of the 'keep' votes Tony cites above were actually 'no consensus' votes. Proto t c 15:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  - Absolutely. But what they were not was deletions. We don't delete articles unless there is a consensus to delete them. Actually the discussion on this school article seems to be running with a slight majority for keep, which demonstrates how difficult it is to persuade Wikipipedia to delete school articles. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 22:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of people widely considered eccentric

This list is unmaintanable, inherently POV, inherently unverifiable, mostly unsourced and has been constantly metastasizing since its inception. It is less of an encyclopedia article and more of a sort of stream-of-consciousness laundry list of names of people that any editor has ever personally considered to be strange. It's an eyesore. The result of the previous AfD was "no consensus". Nandesuka 03:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep per precedent. Nominating articles for deletion over and over and over again, until the single result acceptable to those who want it deleted is achieved, becomes monotonous. At some point the lack of consensus that the article should be deleted ought to be recognized and the matter ended. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete, this is pure original research because it at the very heart based upon an admittedly arbitrary criteria. Lists based on arbitrary criteria, particularly criteria determined by Wikipedia contributors, need to go. Beyond that, there is the long standing lack verifiability around this list.--Isotope23 16:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per - by now - just about everyone. Sandstein 19:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
My preference is Delete. If kept, move all the unsourced entries to the article's Talk page—which at this point is all of them, effectively blanking the article. State at the top of the article that entries are to be inserted only if accompanied by source citations, meeting reliable source guidelines, which describe the person as "eccentric," using that word. The list then becomes a list of people who have been called eccentric, with source citations showing who called them that. Ideally enough of the source should be quoted so the reader can judge whether the person meets the reader's own criterion for eccentricity. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment, and if this is done it should be moved to List of people who have been referred to as eccentric.--Isotope23 20:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

- And not: David Koresh and Charles Manson and Jesus of Nazareth? One man's eccentric is another's messiah. Carlossuarez46 21:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
  - This either shows a disdain for religion or a lack of understanding of history. Either way the people you name are not self-described eccentrics nor did they get famous because they're eccentric. Koresh got famous as a cult leader, Manson for crimes, and Jesus as a religious leader/thinker. I know that Joshua A. Norton is seen as some kind of religious something to Discordians, but he did not see himself as any kind of religious anything as far as I know. Also it's unclear if Discordianism is an actual religion.--T. Anthony 03:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
    - Is this a list of self-described eccentrics we're debating? I don't think so. These aren't people who got famous for being eccentric either. That's not what's going on here. History is in the eye of the beholder, too, when such soft labels as "eccentric" are thrown around. Some guy who calls himself the son of God and runs around in the desert with 12 men, eschews sex, but hangs out with prostitutes, seems eccentric by most standards (and if you disagree, that just proves the point that there is no subjective criteria for inclusion). Carlossuarez46 19:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
      - I'm saying this list could be made into a list of self-described eccentrics and people who got famous for eccentricity. It'd take radical culling, but it's not impossible.--T. Anthony 03:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
        
        On second thought after doing a bit of work I realized fixing this list is way too difficult as it has too much dross. It would be more work to fix it than to just start a better eccentric list at List of people who have been referred to as eccentric.--T. Anthony 04:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

- At the risk of complicating matters: it is, however, easy to create an objective criterion: "people described as 'eccentric' by a source meeting WP:RS". Dpbsmith (talk) 23:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete A legitimate list on this topic could exist, but creating such a list (per, e.g., Dpbsmith's suggested approach) would involve melting this one down to its component bits and casting it wholly anew. I agree with Coredesat about the previous V/AfDs: they were a long time ago, they are not binding and, moreover, if they prove anything it's that Eventualism just hasn't worked out here.

      - Hi there. It is a common misconception that WP is "an encyclopedia of everything." This isn't true. WP is a free encyclopedia that is being written as a wiki, but it does not accept every possible contribution. You might like to look at some of the policies and guidelines that govern the acceptability of articles. If you're looking for a place that will accept articles on nearly everything, try Everything2.com.—Encephalon | ^ζ 07:03:11, 2005-08-29 (UTC)

- - Comment: Many newbies seem to be confused by accusations of vanity. I understand that Wikipedia uses a special, non-common definition for the term. In Wikipedia, "vanity" means that the article was created by its subject, a friend of the subject, or a member of the subject (in case of organisations) but no one else knows or cares about it. It does not necessarily mean that the article praises the subject. In fact, an article insulting its subject might still be vanity. I propose some sort of explanatory page about the term vanity. — JIP | Talk 07:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mexico City Metropolitan Airport

I have thought long & hard about this one.

Firstly, the airport's name and IATA code are wrong. I believe the author is talking about the 'Benito Juarez International Airport', IATA code: MEX.
Secondly, MEX is not in the Top 10 of world's busiest airports and certainly NOT the busiest in Latin America (that honour belongs to Juan Santamaria in Costa Rica).
Thirdly, there is no information other than a list of airlines and destinations allegedly operating from the airport. Both lists are incomplete, inaccurate and inconsistent. There are no verifiable sources given.
And, finally, yes..I do live in Mexico. Eddie.willers 05:06, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Far lesser airports have articles on them (see Saskatoon International Airport). Lack of information is not justification for VFD -- be bold and expand it. 23skidoo 05:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Did you even read what he said or look at the page in question? There's no such thing as "Mexico City Metropolitan Airport". This article is garbage. Alr 05:35, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete. How bizarre; this looks like a completely made-up major international airport with many of the same airlines and flights as Benito_Juarez_International_Airport, but a completely new list of terminals, etc. "MJX" (given in the text) appears to be the IATA code for Robert J. Miller Air Park, Toms River, New Jersey. Nothing useful to merge; no point in redirecting a made-up name. Benito Juarez is, of course, extremely notable. Bikeable 05:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Google reveals that this is Washington State's oldest winery, and is thus notable. It is also a concert venue, having played host to Crosby Stills and Nash, Tori Amos, and Robert Plant. Hardly a non-notable / vanity page. Cnwb 05:24, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep/Move — They are quite notable and produce a fine variety of wines. Winner of multiple awards for best winery as well as specific wines.

I Beg to differ: The band has broken up, so which would mean that the band's google prescense or ALLMusic wouldn't have anything to show. User:MrThomas

Bands that disbanded before Allmusic's creation are still documented (they go as far back as the 1920's), and you must agree that many bands which did not exist before Google still manage to produce hundreds/thousands of hits. Regardless, they still don't meet WP:MUSIC. Sorry, it's just a standard that needs to be maintained. --TheMidnighters 03:30, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Physical Culture

The Bjelke-Petersen School of Physical Culture has 180 clubs in Eastern Australia. Does this make it notable or is it just advertising? Note. The text is a direct copyvio from the school's website but since it was probably they who posted it, I think we should deal with the notability first. -- RHaworth 06:42:48, 2005-08-29 (UTC)

Comment. I would vote keep for it but note that it needs a significant cleanup. This is a non-profit organisation with a reasonable following and 180 clubs in Eastern Australia is a significant number of clubs. Hans Christian Bjelke-Peterson (not Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen) was the founder of the organisation [2] and he has an interesting background in anthropometric studies see the link. However, I am of the view that copyvios should be deleted even if the organisation has no problems with them staying. This is because material coped from the web is usually not POV nor does it usually present the information in an encylopedic way. This should be deleted as a copyvio. If someone wants to write an encyclopedic article on this that isn't a copyvio, I would welcome it. Capitalistroadster 07:30, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep Clearly notable. It needs cleanup not deletion, so I have marked it as such. Osomec 13:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep this is a notable subject, related to the physcial fitness fads of the 1920-1960 period when "physical culture" was thought to be important. I.e Betar etc. Also the role of "physical culture" magazines as sources of gay erotica. Notable social phenominon. Klonimus 22:01, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep and expand. It took me a while of sitting and thinking before I recalled that almost every young female I went to school with went to this thing called 'fizzy'. It's a significant part of the youth of most Australian female's in Sydney especially. Jachin 22:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep for reason given by Klonimus and others as well. Physical Culture was also, IIRC, the name of a quite well-known magazine, possibly edited by Bernarr Macfadden??? Good grief, do we really not have an article about Bernarr Macfadden? Apparently not... here's a website about him, ah, "Father of Physical Culture," another entry for the List of people known as the father or mother of something.

Strong Keep but the article need cleaning up somewhat. Definitely _not_ vanity, the band is very well known. Notable member of a notable band, who is also suffering from a notable illness. There are 14,700 Google hits for his name, and almost 400,000 for his band Something Corporate. Absolutely no idea why the page has been VFD'd. Halo 09:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Having rewrote the article, turns we already have a better one at Andrew McMahon. Vote changed to Redirect - Halo 10:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep Lead singer with a well-known band within the US. MTV News reports that he has been diagnosed with leukemia and that his side project Mannequin was preparing to release an album. This arguably makes him notable beyond Something Corporate see MTV News Article. [3] Redirect per Halo. Capitalistroadster 09:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Redirect. Please don't nominate to VfD any obviously wrongly-titled page. Move first. Then backlinks are picked up, or, as in this case, an actual page into which to merge. Nominating without moving first wastes time. Charles Matthews 10:42, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Not about dance schools in Oregon, at least I'm not. If you think it's worthy of being altered in the way you outlined than alter it, you'd likely also change some votes. Otherwise, please just vote on the article as it stands not on what you hope the article might someday become.

Until then, this is a meaningless directory. Soltak |

What an incredibly bitchy thing to say. Who the fuck are you to tell this person what they can and can't say? Fuck off and get a life!

In general, if an article appears to have potential, it should be kept. Most wikipedia articles start off as stubs and such, and people wander in off the internet to fix them. Sdedeo 20:01, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't have any problem with stubs, if written correctly they're great. The problem is this article isn't a stub, it's a list of links. While the possibility might exist for an actual article to be written on dance schools in Oregon, this isn't it. I can start an article about my non-notable local councilman because, potentially, he could become a senator. Potential isn't the issue. Soltak | Talk 21:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

  - I know the question wasn't directed at me but I'm going to jump in anyway: Prefectures of Chad is a list, but it's a notable and encyclopedic one. Dance Schools in Oregon is nothing more than an incomplete directory. If you can quickly find the information in the yellow pages, it's not encyclopedic. Hardware Stores in Milwaukee and Plumbers in Little Rock don't exist for that reason. Soltak | Talk 21:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
    - I don't believe we have any articles about hardware stores in Milwaukee, correct me if I'm wrong. Kappa 21:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
      - "Hardware Stores in Milwaukee and Plumbers in Little Rock don't exist for that reason." I believe that was exactly my point. Soltak | Talk 21:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
        
        OK I'm confused. Kappa 22:03, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
        
        My point was that as those things don't exist, neither should Dance Schools in Oregon. I was arguing the fact that if one can find the information in the yellow pages, it shouldn't have an article. Soltak | Talk 22:05, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

This list of dance schools in Oregon is not advertising, as it doesn't contain any contact information about the listed schools, nor mentions anything about the schools other than the fact that they are in Oregon.

    - Inconsistency is fine by me. Whenever there is no perfectly "bright line" and decisions must be made by human judgement, there will be inconsistency whenever things fall close to the borderline. If a cop stops you for speeding it is not usually helpful to tell the judge that there were other drivers going faster. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
      - But then we're not in a court of law talking about a speeding ticket, are we? No. We're on wikipedia talking about the fact that this is all subjective and up to the whims of a clique of wikipedia editors who for some strange reason think the list of fictional planets on Futurama are more deserving of mention than the very real dance schools in the very real state of Oregon. Trekkie convention, anyone? And on the topic of speeding tickets: if it can be proven that the police officer was indeed singling a person out it is actually feasible that charges could be dropped. This sort of thing happens all the time. Maybe someone can make a list for you about the times it has happened, and then you can request the list be deleted as it relates to something in the real world and not a cartoon, hence it is not substantial enough for you.

Delete, Schnappi surely is notable (hence the correct entry). The girl was performing on the British Sunday morning program "Smile" yesterday and the song hit the charts in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany already and is quite popular with the kids.

- But is the department notable enough to deserve an article for itself? Seems to be just vanity by an officer of the org and the author of Rivaji.

[edit] Rogers Cadenhead

Was tagged as a vanity speedy: it is most likely a vanity article; the IP of the editor is the same as the subjects home (Jacksonville, FL) suggesting it was created by the subject or a friend or relative (info on ip location is from: [4]). and was said in another tag not to assert notability when the article states, he sits on the RSS Advisory Board, registered benedictxvi.com several weeks before the pope was named and also did some reporter work. If you take that together, I'd say calling this non-notable is a bit hasty. Keep, unless someone can prove the RSS Advisory Board doesn't exist or has no real importance in the computer world. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:08, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Hmmmm. Marginal Delete. The RSS board is notable, and important as an organisation, but its members are not necessarily notable (and don't need to be). The books are not especially notable. Given that some Wikipedians have similar accomplishments, I'm not fully convinced he merits an entry.--inks 10:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep, author of popular books. The fact that some wikipedians may be accomplished is not a reason to deprive users of information. Kappa 10:21, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

However, it is not recommended that wikipedians author articles by themselves, which is surely the case with this article; it's still a vanity article. --Quasipalm 16:15, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

It's not recommended but if they come up with a reasonably neutral and factual article it shouldn't be deleted just because of its source. If someone else had made it, would the article look so different? Kappa 18:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete - this is pretty non-notable stuff as far as I can tell. Writing a book itself does not mean the person should be included. I looked up the books on Amazon and their sales rankings are #30,000 and #80,000. The website isn't very notable and the RSS board may or may not be important enough to cary the article. Mainly, I think this is an auto-biographical vanity page, only edited by a single author who's IP address comes from an ISP in Jacksonville, where the author and subject both live. --Quasipalm 13:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep. Not as important as the author seems to think, but above the line of notability for me (author of a few non-vanity books.) Sdedeo 14:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep Cadenhead is known for his RSS work, cruel.com and the Pope Benedict antic. Article could be beefed up, but he is a well-known web pundit and writer. Jessamyn
Keep; he's had some books published, and I have heard of him in numerous articles when Pope Benedict was announced for the website. ral315 17:25, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Despite the author's admission that this is vanity, the subject is still notable. I reaffirm my keep vote. Ral 315 22:01, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
This comes across as a self-promoting, vanity page. I appreciate the arguments iterated above, particularly the noteworthiness of the various projects, but the fact is that letting vanity pages stand withers the credibility of Wikipedia and mocks the efforts of those who contribute to it. If another editor wishes to create a page about this guy, I will vote to keep. But since I accept the evidence that this is self-authored as convincing, I vote Delete on principle.Dottore So 17:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- isn't Jacksonville sort of big though? I agree that it's bad precedent if the guy authored it himself, but do we know that or just strongly assume it? If people think it's a keepable article except for the author, I'd happily do a rewrite of it, or re-create it, however this sort of thing usually works. Jessamyn 00:13, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete I'm probably notable enough for inclusion here by virtue of the RSS board, 21 computer books, and brief papal namespace infamy, but I did write my own Wikipedia biography as an experiment, and for reasons I detail today on my weblog, I am somewhat eager to see this vote end with my deletion. rcade, 31 August 2005

I knew it. ;-) Don't feel bad, I don't think I deserve a wikipedia article either. --Quasipalm 17:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

In light of this admission, can we resubmit to VfD and have it properly voted on as a vanity page? Much of the above misses the point. Dottore So 18:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I object to redoing this VfD. rcade seems to be confused as to the nature of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not about doing a clever blog post and then letting everyone else tidy up after it has suited your purpose. I am really very tired of this. We all knew it was a probably vanity when we voted the first time around. My evaluation of the article as a weak keep stands; the basic principle that article subjects do not dictate the terms of their inclusion should as well. Sdedeo 19:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment again. Reading rcade's blog post, it seems that he was acting in good faith both in creating and later voting delete on his article. However, my vote still stands and I still object to redoing the VfD; the community has looked at the article, found the subject notable, and that's all that needs to be said. Sdedeo 19:56, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to echo the sentiments of Sdedeo. My vote is based upon the merits of the article, not who created it. Hall Monitor 20:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. What Sdedeo and HallMonitor said. Being eager to have a wikipedia article about you has zero bearing on the question of whether or not there should be a wikipedia article about you. The point of Wikipedia is to let people find information about stuff that has some reasonable notability. betsythedevine 11:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Vanity_page Problems with vanity articles:

The most significant problem with vanity article is that they often discuss subjects that are not well-enough known for there to be multiple editors. Additionally, they are often "experimental" articles to which the author never returns. The quality of a Wikipedia article is often presumed to be proportional to the number of edits, so if an article is doomed to be a one-edit article, it should be deleted.

In some cases, Wikipedia users write articles about themselves when the more appropriate action would be to create a user page. In these cases, the article is normally moved into the User namespace rather than deleted.

Another danger is inherent in auto-biographical articles. Users might write articles pertaining to their own work. While the authors of such articles might not consider them "vanity" articles, they are in violation of the soft policy against writing articles on one's own accomplishments.

I don't think I saw this page when poking around Wikipedia to see if there was a prohibition against autobiography. That reference to a soft policy isn't as clear as it could be -- does that mean there's wiggle room and it's a matter of judgment? In any case, if Wikicities accepts my proposal for a non-famous biography wiki, it should make this particular editing issue easier to resolve. Moving a self-promotional or dubious biography to another wiki should be easier for contributors to accept than a deletion. rcade, 31 August 2005
- WP:VAIN is a guideline, not a policy. Logically, if the information within an article can be verified and meets the qualifications set forth by WP:BIO, it should be kept regardless of how it began. Multiple precedents exist which we can refer back to. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Richard Bozulich was recently closed with a unanimous vote of keep after the subject requested his article be deleted. There are also precedents for the retention of autobiographical "vanity" articles, such as Jesse Liberty and Cyrus Farivar, although the latter discussion was somewhat contentious during the second go-round. See also Jason Snell as well. Hall Monitor 17:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Granta

Reluctantly I name this pub for deletion. It is near the river and has got a nice view from its two floors. The entry freely admits that it has nothing much to speak for it. It hasn't got an illustrious history or particularly good or poor beer. Really, I like the place, I do, but Wikipedia is not a travel guide or a grab-bag of data. Pilatus 11:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep/disambig: Make it a 3-choice disambig page, with only a link to the place the pub is located (but no article for the pub itself). This shouldn't be considered for delete, because it needs to either be a re-direct for Granta (like it was) or a disambig page, which includes two or three entries (which it almost is). --rob 12:06, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions recommend to drop the initial article. The river and the publisher are both called "Granta". Pilatus 12:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I took a quick look, and am not clear of what part of Wikipedia:Naming_conventions you're refering to. I thought I read the GFDL requires us to keep the old edit history of article, if the content there-in was used elsewhere (in a re-direct/merge or a move without copying history). It appears there is content that predates Granta. So, if you don't wish to do a disambig, why not just revert back to the previous re-direct. Seems quick and easy. It's pretty normal/legit to have a re-direct from a possible (though wrong and/or obsolete) spelling of a place. --rob 12:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Here is what I was talking about: Wikipedia:Guide to Votes for deletion#Incompatible_votes. It explains why "Merge to Example and Delete" is invalid. Basically, any old history has to be kept, no matter what, if any of the old content found it's way into the new article. I interpret that to mean, we can't delete this old article. Now the "merge(?)/redirect" part was done a long time ago, and we can't now to the delete part. I'm new to this, and can't say for certain. --rob 12:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I was referring to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Avoid_the_definite_article_.28.22the.22.29_and_the_indefinite_article_.28.22a.22.2F.22an.22.29_at_the_beginning_of_the_page_name. Granta is the publisher, and a stretch of the River Cam is are known as Granta. Those are in the right place. The Granta (also named correctly) is the entry on the pub, which I don't think should have a home in Wikipedia.

Thanks for the precise link, which I just read. I'm not sure we disagree. I'm saying there should be *no* pub article. I'm advocating The Granta *either* be a disambigation page or a re-direct page. But, not a "content" page. You're entirely correct, that there should be no "content" page called The Granta. Disambiguation and re-direct pages aren't subject to normal naming rules. In fact, their whole purpose is to move somebody from the wrong name, to the correct name. Also, I agree Granta and River Cam should stay in the same place. --rob 13:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep Admittedly as the guy who did most of the work I have an interest. But there is no original research. The sources do match the claims made. Much of the information here is not found on Women in Islam although a merger of parts is in the works. This call is totally premature given the work going on to fix the problems. A peer review would probably be the more sensible option. I urge people to read the article(s) for themselves. Lao Wai 12:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep, after reading the article's talk page I'm detecting a whiff of bad faith here, to be honest. The article DOES need work, admittedly, and I'd support deletion if it can't be improved jamesgibbon 12:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Regarding your suggestion, I have been trying to work with this, I mean compare what the opening paragraph was like when I began work on it. Note too how Lao Wai constantly removes my request for citations, and constantly includes the allusion that all women of Medina were all Ansari (Helpers of Muhamad) - That is obviously untrue, but he keeps adding it anyway. [6], [7], [8]. Note also how The Source he uses to justify his assertion "Obviously this is a vision of Heaven that is more likely to appeal to men. Eternally virgin dark-eyed Houris are unlikely to appeal to many women" says nothing of the sort, in fact is says almost the opposite ("The life of women in Jannah will be as pleasant and happy as the life of men. Allah is not partial to any gender. He created both of them and He will take care of both of them according to their needs and desires. Let us all work to achieve the Jannah and then, in sha’ Allah, we will find there what will satisfy all of us fully."). Anyway, besides that, anything of any merit is already dealt with in Women in Islam, a more stable and more Accurate and more NPOV piece.--Irishpunktom\^talk 13:52, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Look this is not the place for a slanging match over this. I flatly deny saying what you have just said I said. If you want to discuss this in a civilised manner I suggest we take it to the Talk Page where it belongs. Again I urge anyone who cares to read the relevant pages. Lao Wai 15:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. We do have separate articles for women and gender roles in Western culture, so why not Islam? Having NPOV problems is definitely not a sufficient reason to go to VfD. Sdedeo 14:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Redirect or delete without merge. This vote may not be taken as any form of 'keep'. The scant references in the article (one of them is a link to Google!!) do not persuade me that this is not-original research and here is not the place for such. Get good references in there, and I'll reconsider. Otherwise, it needs to go, per WP:NOR. If this can be rewritten as a proper article, it can of course stay. -Splash 19:17, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Probably merge (for now) - hypotheticaly 'women in' and 'gender roles in' are two distinct subjects - but these are not currently two distinct articles. A clear demarkation is required, and some heavy NPOVing. I'd suggest merging and then dividing in some other way - perhaps an article on the Qu'ran material and one on Islam today. Do not 'keep' as stands. --Doc (?) 23:14, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lara Roxx

I am placing a VFD on this and, probably, other articles concerning porn 'stars' simply because, all too often, there is confusion between 'notability' and 'notoriety' - this is a perfect example.

Lara Roxx, Darren James and their ilk are 'notorious'. That is, they are known, but in an unfavourable manner and in a restricted circle. They cannot be considered as 'notable' or 'noteworthy' as they have not added anything to the sum of human intellectual achievement or to the human condition. Nor are they particularly striking or worthy in their achievement.
They cannot be considered as 'actors' other than in the sense of their being participants in an act. They are not 'theatrical performers' in any sense - being filmed whilst having sex does not require any communicable skill.
Tough on Lara, but catching AIDS in your line of work does not make you notable either. I am sure that if one dug around, there are cases of medical professionals catching AIDS in their line of work - folk who are probably a good deal more 'socially useful' too (dons flamproof suit quickly).
Wikipedia can, does, and should have entries for 'notorious' persons (eg:Al Capone, Jeffrey Dahmer) who may be considered notable for their actions, the effect of those actions and the amount of interest garnered by those actions in a general social sense.
- In the case of pornography, and with reference to the above paragraph, Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner are good examples of those who may be considered notorious and notable.

Let the Games begin! Eddie.willers 13:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

keep I don't buy the distinction between between notable and notorious wrt the wikipedia standards for inclusion. "Adding to the sum of human intellectual achievement or human condition" seems to me to be a weasly way of excluding people whose behavior doesn't please the nominator; that is, it is an inherent POV value judgment. Therefore, there is no proposed valid reason for this to be on the table for deletion, so keep. Brighterorange 13:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Made the news, hence notable. Halo 13:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Would also like to say that it sounds like you are trying to use VFD to push an agenda, which I don't think is a good idea. Whatsmore, if we used your method of saying that someting is notable, we wouldn't have pages on murderers etc either because they haven't done anything other than "kill people" which has gone on for thousands of years. I don't think someone necessarily has to have done anything intelligent to be noteworthy as long as they are somewhat known in their field. Halo 13:50, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. This one has some minor interest per the start of the article. That does not apply to most porn-stars however, and I would be interested in a selective VfDing of those that are non-notable. Simply VfDing them all would not be appropriate however. -Splash 23:24, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Let's keep in mind that "lack of notability" has never been accepted by consensus as sufficient grounds for deletion of articles. We're not dealing with the assistant editor of a high school newspaper here. We're talking about perfomers who appear in movies that are widely distributed. Many of them also appear in magazines that are also widely distributed. This makes then public figures, and therefore worthy of a Wikipedia article, as long as it provides some relevant information beyond "Candy Blossom is a porn star." The "porn stars aren't notable" argument smacks of a bit of prurience. In an encyclopedia that has articles on fictional characters, TV show episodes, and reality show participants, it is hard to justify deleting articles on performers in a popular, mass market form of entertainment. Zeromacnoo 19:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The criteria outlined by Eddie Willers are NPOV and should be irrelevant to considering biographies. According to WP:Bio the relevant criteria is "Well known entertainment figures, such as TV/movie producers, directors, writers, and actors who have starring roles, or a series of minor roles, in commercially distributed work watched by a total audience of 5,000 or more." Ms Roxx meets these criteria. Capitalistroadster 20:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I don't buy the distinction between notorious and notable. Whether or not everything the proposer says is true, they're still notable and worth putting in Wikipedia. (And the fact is, much of what the proposer says, I consider to be nonsense and wrongfully judgemental, and I'm sure I could find fields of interest that I consider to be without skills and merely notorious among a restricted field that the proposer would disagree with.)--Prosfilaes 20:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Having looked at the article, I have to wonder what you were thinking. Yes, being the first person in four years to get AIDS in the porn industry and prompting potential government intrusion or changes from within to avoid government intrustion is notable.--Prosfilaes 22:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
KEEP as is (in)famous with many people, it's perfectly notable. Notorious would be a subset of notability in any case. Further, I remember a VfD on every Victoria Cross holder, since Victoria Cross awardees are imminently more notable than Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, ever CMH holder should also be VfD'd because they are inherently less notable. So... if being notorious is not good enough, we should VfD "Al Capone", "Caligula", "Nero", "Pol Pot", "Papa Doc" Duvalier, "Robispiere", "Elizabeth I", "Ivan the Terrible", "Vlad the Impaler", "Jesse James", "Billy the Kid", "Ulysses S. Grant", "Heinrich Himmler", "Marilyn Monroe", "Martin Luther", "Copernicus", ... 132.205.3.20 20:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep I don't like what they do, but they are legally allowed to do it. Also, the inital "notable" vs. "notorious" argument implies a judgement, which is not what this is supposed to be about; it's about collecting information. Frankly, they are both "editorializing" in any context. Insisting someone is "notorious" as opposed to "notable" is forcing your values on this, this is not about that.

Keep It will be such an hypocresy to deny this element of our society and culture. If the article was written it is because somebody thinks the topic is interesting. At the end that is wikipedia a completely democratic source of information.
Keep Pornography is important in our society, and this should be reflected in Wikipedia too.

[edit] Milion

Delete. This article states that "The word Milion is the Roman term for the Greek Milos and is mentioned in Mathew 5". As it happens, the alleged Greek measuring unit Milos is a flower of fantasy

"1 diena: pirmadienis arba penktadienis (372 mylios / 595 km) Niujorkas - NIAGARos

kriokliai ... 3 diena: trečiadienis arba sekmadienis (432 mylios / 691 km) ..."

And Milion is simply the Greek name for the Roman mile, not a separate unit. An entirely misguided concept is not a good starting point, and the rest of the article consists of the usual rktect rants (see User:Egil/Sandbox/rktect). A redirect is not required; Wikipedia is not a Greek lexicon. -- Egil 14:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Milion is not the Greek name for the Roman unit because its Latin not Greek.
Milion is the Roman name for the Greek unit from which the Roman Milliare is derived.
You can raise the issue of what evidence is there that a Greek unit of 8 stadia = 1 (Roman name for it) milion existed?
The evidence is that the name the Romans chose for their mile was milliare.
In latin the milliare is differentiated from the milion or mylios
The Milion or Milos are the Greek units which were the source of the Roman mile.
The Greek Stadion was also the source of the Roman stadium.
This information comes from Vitruvius a Roman Architect.
In his "Ten Books of Architecture he tells us that the Romans got their units from the Greeks.
If you read his book you will discover why he says that.

[edit] Lara language

A constructed language with a few problems. Firstly there is actually a language called Lara spoken by about 12,000 people in Indonesia [11] however this is not it. I can only find a handful of google hits associated with this particular language, and most of those are conlang websites that can be edited by the user. Also the author of this article readily admits on his talk page that he is the original author of the language in question. The other pages that are linked to from the article (Esperanto, Italian and Wikisource) were each started on 27th July, 25th August and 27th August respectively. I'm just not getting the impression from my research into this that it's that notable. Francs2000 | Talk 14:58, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Invented languages should be included if they are notable for academic (e.g., interesting and discussed example) or cultural (e.g., Klingon, etc.) reasons, even if those reasons are minor. No claim to notability exists here. Sdedeo 17:13, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete. For a language to be notable it needs to have an impact on the world outside the home of its creator, i.e. having a significant and verifiable number of fluent speakers and/or being the subject of a rather extensive professional discussion, preferrably in printed media. A list of words, however long, should not be enough. However, there are obviously Wikipedians of a different opinion, which is why I'd like to urge anyone voting to delete this article to check out the straw poll being held at Wikipedia:Conlangs/Votes where an attempt is made to create general criteria for inclusion of constructed languages. This vote might very well end up with any language with X number of words, or even "a unique script"(!), being deemed worthy of a Wikipedia article. / Alarm 17:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Please start by checking out the discussion about the draft policy proposal on Wikipedia:Conlangs and various subpages. I agree that some of the criteria some people have proposed are a bit silly, but you'll notice most if not all of the silly ones are getting a lot more oppose votes than support votes (oops, I used the word "vote"; Messrs. Bruning and Forrester are going to pile on to me...) even from the conlangers. --Jim Henry | Talk 12:17, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes. Mind, the long list on Wikipedia:Conlangs/Votes and on Wikipedia:Conlangs/Alternative proposal should by no means by treated as a proposal of criteria, all of which can individually determine a language's notability. It's merely a collection of possible criteria proposed by individual people. The purpose of the whole discussion is merely to establish some objective criteria for conlang notability. As someone who cares for conlangs and to whom it is an important field of interest, I want a conlang section that is clean and of high quality; I do not want to be overly inclusive, and I definitely do not want articles about 1200 individual conlangs. To me, number of words and a unique script do not make a language notable. And yes, some of the proposed criteria are a bit sillyl. By the way, Alarm, I find it strange that you only urge "anyone voting to delete this article" and not those who want to keep it. I would agree with you if you urged "anybody", not just the deleters. --IJzeren Jan 13:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment: as soon as there is a page for the natural language Lara this page will be quite harmless. Also, it is better written and more interesting than most conlang pages on wikipedia, in fact more interesting than quite a few stubs, so why not keep it?--Kaleissin 09:48:13, 2005-08-30 (UTC)

    - My problem is your reason for saying (implied) keep - by your reasoning the article should be kept because it is well written, not because of its content. I can point to plenty of articles that are about notable content but just not well written - should they go? If I wrote beautiful prose about the contents of my trash should that stay? No, so if you believe the content should stay because you feel it is notable enough for Wikipedia then say that, don't confuse the issue by saying "it's well written so it should stay" -- Francs2000 | Talk 15:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
      - It's best having a page that is 2 out of 2. This one is 1 out of 2, but there are tons of pages that are 0 out of 2... After Kim Bruning's nuking of the conlang-vote page I'm not sure I'll ever bother to be explicit here again. No keep, no delete, means no vote right? Ergo no drive-by shooting. Whatever, it's academical now anyway. --Kaleissin 18:47:26, 2005-08-30 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ Transwiki to the Conlang Wikicity and then delete from Wikipedia. Google search for {lara "constructed language"} [12] gets 42 hits but almost none of them relate to this particular conlang - most just have the personal name or surname "Lara" or a word in some other conlang with the form |lara| somewhere on the page. I see no evidence that this conlang has notability within the conlanger community, much less outside of it. Nor is it verifiable without original research, as apparently nobody has written about it yet besides the creator of the language. If in the course of years the language does become notable (aquires some speakers, a fairly large corpus, independent review and discussion in the secondary conlang literature, etc.) then any article about it should probably be titled Lara (constructed language) to distinguish it from Lara language, the natural language of Indonesia with the same name. But it is a non-stub article, fairly well written for a non-native speaker of English, and it's good content for the Conlang Wikicity. --Jim Henry | Talk 12:17, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see that 80.127.232.138 has already copied the page to the Conlang Wikicity [13]. I have no objection to deleting this Wikipedia article at any time now. --Jim Henry | Talk 15:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

I personally believe googling for {lara "constructed language"} is unfair, because you exclude anything that is not in English. In cases like this one (especially since the creator of the language is Italian) I much rather google for LANGUAGE NAME + SURNAME OF THE CREATOR. In this case, "lara" + "pedicelli" generates 72 ghits. --IJzeren Jan 13:11, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

That's a good point; we should probably cover that and similar issues when treating the "gets at least N Google hits" criterion in the draft Conlang notability/verifiability policy.

[edit] Tõnu Trubetsky

(Previously Tony Blackplait)

Listing at VfD only because it does not seem to be a candidate for speedy deletion. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. While the subject may have perpetrated a hoax (i.e. passing his band off as the original Flowers of Romance), that does not make him unnoteworthy (and as I know little about Estonia or its music scene, it is hard to determine). If there are falsehoods in this and related articles they should be cleaned up (and I have been making an effort at this for several months, since the anon. editor of the articles in question began to show up). Using Wikipedia to perpetrate a hoax (and for self-promotion) is a different issue. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comments: Anon. user first showed up in January asserting that a band calling itself "Flowers of Romance" was the comeback of the original, and that Sid Vicious was thus a member. I confronted the editor about this and he backed off the claims. Unfortunately this seemes to have only happened in the English Wikipedia, resulting in this post to the Commons Village Pump. Also see Talk:Tony Blackplait and Talk:The Flowers of Romance (band) for more history of this issue, as well as Talk:The Flowers of Romance (band 2) (though the article itself was speedily deleted [wrongly IMHO]). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I've just had quick look on Google (which I know shouldn't determine a keep or delete) and it appears to me that a large proportion of the search results are from other Wikipedia articles or copies thereof. (I have a gut feeling that his page might be worth a weak keep, but I don't feel competent to properly vote, knowing nothing about the subject matter.) --Finbarr Saunders 19:46, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete The "facts" given in the article are all false. The listed movies are unknown to the Internet Movie Database.

The complete article is one big lie. Kju 21:41, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comments: It's hard to explain the case in English but I'll give my best. Blackplait (Trubetsky) is an Estonian anarchist and a real-existing person. I really doubt he has (ever had) no connection whatsoever with the "original" The Flowers of Romance. But he is a singer in Estonian band Vennaskond and he's been using the pseodonym Blackplait. I think the situation is that some person has been sending false data to wikipedia and other similar sites in the Internet. He has released an album under the name The Flowers of Romance in Estonia, but there is no connection whatsoever with the "original" band. The "Estonian Flowers of Romance" is a band consisting of Vennaskond' members whose names have been anglicified (Allan Vainola has changed to Al Vainola for example). It's probably kind of a homage to the band, and so the "Estonian TFOR"'s a mix of facts and fiction, it's kind of urban legend. On the movies/books/albums the facts are actually mostly right. All the albums listed have been released in Estonia and of three movies I have seen two, one of them is currently located on my HDD by fact (though they are really bad amateur-documentaries). Trubetsky didn't appear as an actor in movies "Serenade", "The Sweet Planet" and "War", he actually was a animator on those (working at the time in Tallinnfilm movie-studio). Estonian titles of the movies are "Serenaad", "Magus planeet" and "Sõda" and you can find them in IMDb, with the information on Trubetsky being an animator listed only on the case of "Sõda". I guess he appeared in Pekka Karjalainen's Hysteria (information on this film's at IMDb, though he's not been submitted to the cast list, but hey, the imdb's incomplete like anything else.) The case is the same with books: they're in Estonian and not known in the world so I guess it's hard to find information from the Internet and I doubt they're ever been translated to English so their names would have to be in Estonian. I know anonymous users' opinions don't count on VfDs, but my suggestion would be to move the article under the name Tõnu Trubetsky (as he's not know in the west that well under the name of Blackplait and to clean up the information on movies and books, as he in fact's pretty well-known in Estonia and Finland (as a member of Vennaskond). The only part on which' autenticy I doubt is from "...and lived in different cities..." to "made a "demos" with Teet Tibar, his Estonian friend." This part is imho the only part of article that should be deleted or at least improved very much.
  - Please show proof for what you are telling us. I still don't believe. I find your information very hard to believe. So you are telling us that "Flowers of Romance" is both the title of an album released as well as the name of his band? This is not very believable. And even if the information is correct, this raises the question if the guy in question is of enough relevance for wikipedia. I don't think that "really bad amateur-documentaries" are a criteria for inclusion into wikipedia. -- Kju/Kju (de) 22:44, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
    - For what it's worth, eponymous albums are fairly common. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:00, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
    - as it was said, there are many eponymous albums released. anyway, on the films you can see all three enlisted on Estonian Film Foundation's website. sadly the site's english version has no such list. the DVD for the latest film is sold here. on books the first place of info I found is an online bookshop (sadly in Estonian too, but I hope it'll do) and you can listen Vennaskond's music here and The Flowers of Romance's here. I hope it'll do. And I can cut you a sample from one of the movies if that's needed.

on the "really bad amateur-documentaries", they are music films, mostly a collection of music and live videos from different eras and some other segments, like the band walking the streets of Helsinki or playing cards on a ferry boat. they aren't quite what you'd call a movie, that's what I meant.

and I don't know if he's known so well to have an article in English Wikipedia. But in here exists an article of a dumb Estonian popgroup Click OK; if they're considered notable, than he's certanly notable too.

Delete. Well done, Kju. Sdedeo 21:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep'. I back the opinion and the proposals of the anonymous contributor above. Move the title to "Tõnu Trubetsky". The "hoax" obviously is due to a mystification by Trubetsky himself and his band companions. The titles of his books are given in translation in the article, this is why they cannot be found. The films are not the reason of his fame, they are just musical videofilms documneting the band's activities. Tõnu Trubetsky is a famous and influential figure in Estonia. I added the Estonian wikilink to et:Tõnu Trubetsky, and I'll make some clean-up there. Andres 07:55, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Please do not delete. The religion of jesus Church has been on the basic of many 'modern' churches who's members use cannabis as a sacrament. the simple fact that there seem to be not enough time/effort by wiki editors to dig up some "approved" sources does not justify the absense of this religion in an encyclopedia which claims to be complete and neutral. Also, being the founder of the Amsterdam Cannabis Ministry and keeper of the international members DB I know the numbers of people world wide who are officially registered with only one of the cannabis related religions and I can assure you this is not a "small group" but a very fast growing international community in more than 40 countries.

[edit] Barstow Rock

This is a hunk of rock on the bottom of a harbor off the coast of Massachusetts, USA. You can see it on a nautical chart here - this indicates that at low tide, it's under eight feet of water. Some rocks, maybe even some underwater rocks, are encyclopedic - but I don't see any evidence that this one is. CDC (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] black recluse

No evidence to support article's claims; original author unresponsive to queries.

More specifically, a request was placed on the author's (User:Corvun) talk page for documentation of the claims on the page, after several searches of the relevant literature came up with no evidence to support the existence of a "black recluse" spider living in the Pacific Northwest (or anywhere). No response was given; the author later deleted the request (as part of a general "housecleaning" of his talk page).

Further, the page makes claims concerning this creature which are rather specific in nature--which need external documentation; the page also makes the rather specious claim (regarding the "ignorance of local fish and wildlife organizations") that the local authorities on fauna in the region are uninformed.

keep please because kappa is right and wikipedia is not paper either Yuckfoo 17:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
As far as I'm concerned, a person who's only notable as a crime victim should have an article only if they have significant name recognition on their own. That is, if a meaningful number of people could hear their name, without any explanation or context given, and know that a crime victim is being discussed. Kristen French, Leslie Mahaffy and Cecilia Zhang have this type of name recognition, but Naomi Almeida has virtually no name recognition outside the immediate London, Ontario area. The likelihood of somebody typing "Naomi Almeida" in the search box is vanishingly low, since virtually nobody is ever going to hear the name outside of a context that already explains who she is. So, to me, that's a delete, sad though the story may be. Bearcat 19:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete as vanity. Martg76 02:27, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete — given the lack of citations, this should be removed rather than being, say, merged back into Posse of One. The page This Music Sucks - 2006 has a similar issue. — RJH 15:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reasoned Cognition

Delete — just your less-popular-than-most-things webcomic. Alexa rank about 2,450,000th, about 100 Google hits, most of which are presumably advertising and no indication of generating any particular attention. -Splash 02:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I got 15,000 when I tried it: [23]--Fallout boy 04:34, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

keep, I'd like to humbly submit that while this is not an extremely popular webcomic, it is none the less almost unique in it's catagory of being a webcomic that purports to educate it's readers. As such, it is not "just your less-popular-than-most-things" webcomic. I would be willing to link and keep updated an index of questions answered, making the page a better resource. - author, Ryan Kolter

keep, a very popular comic on the server. Article just needs to be expanded. --Fallout boy 04:15, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: I edited the page, including adding the index of questions that have been answered, that I offered to do earlier. - author, Ryan Kolter

Comment: Most of the article was a copyright violation from here, changed from the first person to the third. Bovlb 06:30:58, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
Comment Actually, the mostbeautifulman.com artcile was directly stolen from something *I* wrote for here, all they did was change the third person to first .. and badly at that.
