• Recuse for reason of personal association. The New York literary scene is probably the most vibrant and original in the world, due in part to people like Liese who nurture the growth and development of new writers.

[edit] Matthew Brian Peter Cook

Not yet notable. Possible vanity. Sonic Mew | talk to me 01:07, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete for unabashed use of British jargon: "4 wickets for 29 runs off 8 overs" Huh? --Bayyoc 01:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • That's cricket jargon. Were this article a keeper, it could easily be edited. Sonic Mew | talk to me 01:27, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Bayyoc - it's simple enough. I'll explain. 4 wickets mean 4 batsmen (who although batting might well be bowlers) are now out. Not out as in the middle of the field and so in. But out as in out and no longer in. So 4 batsmen are out. Easy huh? And 29 runs are 29 times they have scored. That's even simpler. Of course they may have scored 4's or 6's - but that depends. And 8 overs. Well really. That just means 8 lots of 6 balls. Isn't that obvious? ;) --Marcus22 14:29, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • • Delete. Otherwise my best figures of 5 for 34 off eight deserve mention as better than his. And if it were a 'keeper there wouldn't be any bowling figures :) Grutness...wha? 06:34, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bart McQueary

First VfD (in April) resulted in no consensus. I'm renominating, since a lot of the contents are unverifiable other than an archived personal web page and some untagged images. "Bart McQueary" -wikipedia receives 615 hits on Google. ral315 01:19, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The guy show up on *GOOGLE* for christs sake - he MUST be included. He meets the only important criterion that you sad gits seem to have. 212.101.64.4 16:02, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable, I have 82,000 Google Hits myself. Xaa 18:32, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete It's painfully obvious that Bart McQueary or someone who knows Bart Mcqueary has been editing the article in favor of McQueary, and there's no way that he/they are ever going to let up. This is probably a rare instance in wiki, someone vandalizing their own entry in their favor; but if Mcqueary can't play by the rules, and he won't allow anyone else to play by the rules, well, I see no great loss by removing his entry. He doesn't exactly... well... matter, anyway. Im sure there are plenty of other bible thumpers and porno pushers out there to take up the clout.Timmybiscool 02:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

STRONG Delete I've tried to work on this the best I can. Honest to God I have. I've done my homework. I've combed through page after page of McQueary's own archived websites looking for the truth. I find the man despicable, but I have put the positive information I found on him in this article. I could have easily neglected that he did in fact raise money for children's charities, that he was in fact harassed unjustly by the police, that his statutory rape arrest was due to a piddly three year difference. I did no such thing. The good and the bad are both in this article. But McQueary doesn't want the latter of those two included, apparently. Case in point: Bart McQueary is trying to edit the article to remove the fact that he once advertised his page as an escort service. For over two years now the web archive service has featured the page proving this. It was linked to here in the article, and for the past week or so you could click on that link and see it for yourself. Now that McQueary has come in and started editing the page, the "escort page"-- which for YEARS has been out there in the web archive for all to see-- has suddenly been disabled by a robots.txt. Coincidence? I think not. And of course he is going to come in here, boorish as he is in real life, saying, "PROVE IT. PROVE that it existed." Well guess what, Bart, I could've, if I'd have known you were going to block the page. I could've saved the page to my PC and uploaded it to another server for all the world to behold. But you got rid of it. And now, no, I can't "prove it." And the only reason is because of you. McQueary is trying to manipulate what people can know about him. If that's the case, there's no need in having an entry on him in Wiki; he'll only allow information about himself that he WANTS to be known.69.154.189.180 02:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Just out of curiosity... have you ever looked up Robert Million in the Harrodsburg listings?
  • Sign your posts with four ~ so people can see who you are. Yes, there is a Robert Million in Harrodsburg, per the Kentucky white pages. I will check in a moment to see if this number matches the one on REM Entertainment. If this truly is the operator of REM, it brings up a new question-- if McQueary had truly been "born again," why would he enable the furtherance of pornography by selling his business to someone else to continue marketing his stuff-- including homosexual porn? Why didn't he shut down the site? And why did REM Entertainment go down in the same time frame as McQueary's page? Bart McQueary, hater of homosexuals, not only sells his porn page rather than shut it down, but he sells it to someone in the exact same town he lives in, who keeps McQueary's phone number on the page for an extended period of time, and when a new number appears people call it and claim to have reached Mcqueary, AND it goes down at the same time McQueary's page goes down? Let us use Occam's Razor here. By the way, while I was at it, I looked up Bart McQueary and found zero results. Also zero for Bartley McQueary, and the only B McQueary was a "B.M. McQueary" in Louisville. [2] Even Fred Phelps keeps his number listed. And what do people have to gain by saying they called REM and got ahold of McQueary? The people to post on AIA aren't the only ones. 69.154.189.180 04:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Golly, isn't that funny? After two years of being able to access Bart's Stuff/REM Entertainment's archived pages via archive.org, in the past few days they have mysteriously been blocked from viewing by the site's owner! Isn't that a splendid concidence to protect the venerable name of Bart McQueary? If his life is such an open book, why does he feel the need to hide these things about himself? This article needs to be deleted on the sheer basis that McQueary is actively destroying information about himself. 69.154.189.180 04:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Timmybiscool. An article on Fred Phelps is appropriate, but I can't see that Bart McQueary is anything other than an attention-starved moron. Are we going to give every thug his own article? Besides, as has been said, if he (or whoever) can't leave the article alone, it's really not worth the trouble. Don't feed his 300 pound ego any more. --4.253.71.19 02:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I'd like to say it's because this guy comes across as such a flaming jerk. But really it's just because he's good ol'-fashioned non-notable except in his own mind. Denni☯ 04:59, 2005 August 3 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonnotable. Capitalistroadster 05:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Whether legitimately members or not, I feel that cult members do not necessarily get to have a page over non-cult members for doing the same acts. Any of his actual activities would not legitimize having a Wiki entry, and the fact that he is trying to modify it means that even if valid, the article's existence will always be less than reliable. I say the safe thing to do is just snip it away.Smoove K 04:11, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • This comment taken from discussion page
• Delete as uber vanity. McQueary is obviously trying to destroy his dirty laundry so that the only factual information that will be able to be sourced will all be self-fellating congratulatory garbage. It was a good article, but in his quest to cover his past up, McQueary has shot himself in the foot. Mistergrind 06:35, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, not notable, terribly POV, uninformative, only serves to make a point...these all scream delete this now! Harro5 08:01, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but I could be convinced otherwise, I think. Right now the article does a good job of illustrating his insane bigotry but doesn't give me much impression of notability. Everyking 10:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, barely crosses the notability threshold, and there's plenty of info, apparently. --Merovingian (t) (c) 11:42, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, the above usersare right, I cited this article as a source for a paper I wrote on hypocritical attitudes of members of the adult film industry, and when I went to check the links last week they were all active and showed what the other editors say they showed. i believe that mcqueary is taking down info about himself to protect his image.216.7.251.106 15:34, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete A super vanity article by a nn bully whose real life is so pathetic he has to use wiki to try and validate himself. wouldn't be surprised if he is 'timmyb' acting out a revert war with himself.207.70.152.126 20:06, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Week Keep. If he really was the instigatory party of the (very famous) ten commandments lawsuit, then this is both notable and verifiable. Much of the other information (i.e. what was on his website when, what kind of porn he likes/peddles, etc.) is not encylopaedic there is little or no reason for its inclusion. If kept this should be about a two paragraph article. Fawcett5 20:20, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, he wasn't the sole instigator, just one of many people across the country who complained to the ACLU. It just so happens that he--surprise surprise-- was the one who dove headlong onto the publicity wagon. 65.71.127.228 21:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Do we really need this article? All this guy has done is create a website and spit in the public's eye. Actually, I'm probably going to make McQueary's "Hell bound" list on his godhatesharrodsburg.com site for posting this. It makes Kentucky look bad; yes, I know this is an encyclopedia that archives information, good or bad, but really he's not worth having his own article. If he gets an article, I should get one! ;PDannyMac

• Delete. I don't see any notability. David | Talk 16:14, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. No. Civ.A. 01-480-KSF. United States District Court, E. D. Kentucky, Lexington.: "The plaintiffs, both Mercer County resident Bart McQueary and the American Civil Liberties Union (hereinafter "ACLU"), seek declaratory and injunctive relief under 42 U.S.C. [section] 1983, alleging that a display in the Mercer County Courthouse violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment." This says he's notable. If this article is deleted I will write a new one citing that important case and using reference material from the current one. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 15:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Which would then be eligible for speedy deletion if nominated. The Wikis have looked at the facts of the case and it looks as if nn is going to be the rule. If Bart belongs anywhere on Wiki, it is as one of the litigants in an article on the ten commandments case. Do all of people who sued have their own articles? 65.71.127.228 16:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • A completely new article on the same subject as a deleted article is not eligible for speedy deletion. ACLU v. Mercer County is not just your average lawsuit. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 18:01, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I would have no problem with McQueary being a section in the ACLU Ten Commandments Lawsuit, kept strictly to being about his lawsuit. As it is, the article now is about him as a person, and thus requires looking at the whole scope of him: Sex offender, charity fundraiser, champion of the law, pornographer, philanthropist, hypocrite, radical, liar, crusader.65.71.127.228 19:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Ironically, 65.71.127.228 you are the one who wrote the bulk of it! Now that some of your claims are being disputed, you are leading the charge to have it deleted.
      • Another unsigned comment by 66.32.122.23365.71.127.228 22:01, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
        • SIGN YOUR COMMENTS'. I led the charge to have this deleted last time, too. But since it didn't go through, I figured the truth about McQueary might as well be known. Now that another opportunity has come up... My "claims" as you call them only became "claims" a few days ago when Bart McQueary blocked the archives of his webpages in order to get the information taken out of wiki per lack of evidence. Before then, they were not claims-- they were indisputable facts. Hey, Bart, how about you get rid of your robots.txt so everyone can see that I'm telling the truth? Oh, I forgot-- the truth isn't what you're interested in. If McQueary truly had repented his old ways, why would he block the archived pages, unless they were evidence of a crime he didn't want known? Paul of Tarsus certainly didn't try to cover up that he was a murderer.65.71.127.228 19:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• In addition to the Ten Commandments we also have this case [[3]]. The article just needs to be re-written with irrelevant things like forum squabbling deleted.
  • Unsigned comment by user 66.32.122.233

NOTE: Is there any way for an administrator or someone to check and see if sock puppets are voting to keep this article. With one exception, the votes to keep are from anonymous users. --Alabamaboy 21:33, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• That is simply incorrect. Why muddy the waters by making patently false statements? --Tony Sidaway^Talk 22:09, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • As far as I can tell, most of the keeps come from registered users, as opposed to anonymous ones.65.71.127.228 03:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

I will admit I miscounted--there are only two anonymous keeps. However, percentage wise this is almost half of the votes to keep, as opposed the vast majority of deletes which are registered users. My statement stands, if slightly reworded.--Alabamaboy 12:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, I've lived in Harrodsburg, and I have no doubt that Bart is editing his stuff. I used to see him coming into Wal-Mart to buy the packing envelopes for his videos. And you know what? After he "sold the page," I STILL saw him coming into Wal-Mart and buying packing envelopes en masse. Make no bones about it-- his "conversion" is an absolute joke. Bart has either gone insane, he was never firmly based in reality to begin with, and thinks he is Phelps, or he has become Phelps because his pleasure in life is hurting others, and who has done that better than Westboro. It was a real ugly thing when his brother died, I think that might have something to do with it. And his the whole business with him and the girl. Take it from someone who's met him and had to deal with him: This guys ten commandmetns lawsuit was nothing more than an attempt to feed his own bloated, hateful ego. He doesn't give a damn about the ACLU or anybody's freedoms, only causing trouble for others and stirring up crap. Mention him in the lawsuit if you have to, but keep it to a bare minimum; anything more is inviting him to ooze his way into the cracks of Wiki and poison it. 216.7.251.54 17:05, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

It should talk about the ACLU Ten Commandments article, the lawsuit with the Kentucky slogan, briefly touch upon the association with Fred Phelps and then end.

Do not delete. This forum is the preeminent PvP server forum for the online game Everquest. The game is a cultural phenomenon in the online community. The uniqueness of the mindset of the PvP gamer community represented on this forum has created a place of surpassing breadth and depth.

It is unlike any other space online.

As such it is a vital part of online history. Those who will someday care to find out what it was like at the beginning will want to know about TzT.

[edit] Giga Character Set

The Giga Character Set is vaporware, that has not materialized in any form in the five years since it was announced. It is implausable that it will materialize in any form; as stated in the primary source, it's only a step above a perpetual motion machine. And the only source is one article. It's linked to from two pages, in lists of alternatives to Unicode, which it could probably be deleted from since it's just vaporware. Prosfilaes 02:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Verbewarp's nine edits are all to the article, the article's talk page, or this VfD.
  • Verbewarp, from your comments here and at Talk:Science today, it seems you're misunderstanding at least some of the comments that recommend deletion. In particular, your essay is not being criticized for containing "no original research"; it is being criticized because it violates Wikipedia's principle of no original research. Your article is a very detailed explanation of what your opinion is and why you hold it; there is absolutely nothing wrong with you holding that opinion, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you sharing that opinion. However, there is a problem with you using Wikipedia's resources to try and share and promote that opinion, because Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought and sharing your opinion is not the purpose for which Wikipedia allowed you the use of its resources. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:07, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Antaeus Feldspar - Your comments are accepted - But, please explain "I also suspect copyvio" Please explain "No original research, though I wonder if it's just nonsense. " Please explain "reeks of Time Cube." etc., etc.

Your comments are not consistent with the deeds in evidence and you are misunderstanding the nature of your own judgemental issues. Let me explain to you that this submission under Verbewarp has been a test of the intgerity of the Wikipedia process - not an intention to publish, although cloaked in that guise. This article was taken from my blog to be found at http://verbewarp.blogspot.com/ as purely a test case. This test case has arisen due to a number of other rejections and judgements posted by your colleagues - upon other matters. The result is that your active judges are mostly and clearly unqualified and inexperienced individuals inflated to egoistic status embedded in a high level of arrogance and misunderstanding of their own abilities and the issues at stake.

Science can never be consensual - that idea is ludicrous - and this type of "peer" review appears to be derived from the "lowest common denominator" of social attainment; the beginning of life processes rather than from lives hoary with sagecity and experience. As a consequence of this test, my students and colleagues are to be issued with a warning notice as to the integrity of Wikipedia - or lack of it - that is not to say that Wikipedia will be black listed but more framed in an aspect of suspected oversight that needs strong referencing for support. Or, use only as a last resort but only if supporting evidence can be established from other more reliable sources.

Nothing personal about your intentions to create something useful, but before embarking on such adventures that have such huge and serious social implications, particularly for the unsuspecting youth, and in light of this site becoming a social point of reference and therefore a possible milestone for intellectual reference, I would strongly recommend that you all review the implications and possible damage that this effort, built in flawed and thoughtless conception, will bring upon our civilization. Wikipedia is a technology which is posing as a vault of intellectual knowledge and far better that there should be warning to your Users that the information contained within comes from a self appointed group of unqualified and inexperienced individuals acting out judgemental roles in some sort of immatured order. Far better that you train those that judge. far better that Wikipedia clearly declare itself a purely a store for societal storage or warehouse for trivia.

My article 'Science today' should have given you some clue as to where this was taking you as it sketches the basics of what and why general mainstream science today has no integrity and no future. You missed the point due to the fact that you didn't take time to consider the article, finding the construction thereo, uncomfortable and painful to your delicate and spoiled minds. This is no insult. Aristotle wrote of this over 2000 years ago, quite clearly and yet it persists today - rote, imitation and practise. You failed to adjudicate correct and according to your own rules. You took delite with insult. You alleged slander knowing that you couldn't be held responsible. You failed.

Your efforts will build more "dogma" in this world already overflowing with the emotional sewage of the wanabees and false pretenders and as a consequence will Wikipedia only assists in furthering the destruction or devolution of human achievement - dogma and practised thinking together with immatured opinion represents a danger to civilization more horific in its footprint than war; atomic war.

To teach would be more worthy of your time than to record.

I wish you all well but I would strongly suggest that you reconsider your future and priorities. This effort that si Wikipedia - just ain't worth wasting your lives on! Verbewarp --peter 06:22, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alesha Webster

page appears to have been created by a one-time user about themselves, with no evident claims to notability. Material is more appropriate for a User page. Text also includes substantial advertorial content for a publication supposedly produced by this person.

[edit] Red Moon Theater

The article is a sentence and a bundle of "please improve" templates. There's no indication as to where this theater is, and Google's total of 150 hits turns up theaters of this name in both new York and Chicago. Unless there is serious improvement, this needs to be clubbed on the head. Grutness...wha? 06:24, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, nice job Rx StrangeLove. I think that JamesBurns saw "high profile productions" in the first sentence, and when you're looking for advertising, it shows up clear on the radar. That then twists reading the rest of the article. -JJLeahy 23:30, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Webcest

Neoligism that is neither notable nor encyclopedic. DavidConrad 08:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

I can't tell what's going on here. It looks like The Bob Talbot started the VfD, but Thirty3, who created the Webcest article, created the VfD subpage without the template and then blanked it. I am trying to remedy things and get the VfD properly set up, since I do think this article deserves a VfD. DavidConrad 08:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC) (Amended 02:00, 5 August 2005 (UTC))

This was the first VFD I'd ever been involved it, so I wasn't trying anything malicious with the VFD page - I put my vote for keep up and then removed it because I wanted to see what kinds of comments would be put on the page before commiting to that vote. Sorry for the confusion. Also, I don't think most of the no-user comments are from sock puppets, though they obviously aren't from people who care a lot about the wikipedia's process.

• Keep - Langauge is an ever changing and evolving concept of verbal communication. As such new words with merrit must be kept in some sort of record (hence Wikipedia). As all words were new once, word age cannot be considered a valid reason for discontinuation. Also, considering that the average person's vocabulary is less then 25,000 words (Psycholinguist Dr. Catherine E. Snow - Harvard Gradruate School) and there are more than three times that many 'official' words in the English Langauge (Oxford English Dictionary), one cannot assume common usage as an appropriate moniker for a word. Most importantly though, the word provides an adequate label to "innapropriate internet behavior", something that has yet to be done; therefore, the word has a place in the English Language and a justified exsistence.

In essence this is not an argument for whether Webcest should be a word or not, that will be decided simply if it cathes on or not. This argument concerns the ability of one to post a usefull and catchy neologism on this site. Therefore the question which is actually being voted on is this: "Is Wikipedia a place where language can evolve, or is it merely another online encyclopedia?" Jake Mercer

User's first edit -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 23:37, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, Wikipedia is not a place for promotion of new ideas. It is supposed to describe the world as it is. You are arguing that we should violate policies on self-promotion, verifiability, and the ever-important No Original Research. Everyone vote to keep is a vote to ignore the fundamental purpose of Wikipedia.

Its information could be added to other articles, but it may be wise to keep this as a place where other pages describing these terms can link to, so that excess description isn't needed.Deckiller 13:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naked and Petrified

This article was nominated for deletion in September, 2004 (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Naked and Petrified). The vote received 21 Delete or Merge votes and only 8 Keep votes. For some reason the vote result was listed as "no consensus" by the admin. I believe this article is basically pure trollcruft, similar to the hundreds of other minor examples of trolling that people keep trying to add to the internet troll page. There is some web presence, but over a quarter of the first 100 Google hits are Wikipedia or Wikiquote mirrors, and many of the rest are not in reference to the trolling. My vote is Merge and Redirect to Slashdot trolling phenomena or Delete. — Asbestos | Talk 11:02, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

  • The nominator in question preferred only to waste the time of those editors who could be bothered to post here. As the nominator saw it had already been through VFD once and was kept, he thought it might be prudent to ask the opinion of the community. He decided not to waste anyone's time who did not want to vote here, however, and so chose to make this vote non-compulsary. — Asbestos | Talk 23:15, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep (no consensus). For those interested my vote count shows 9 to delete, 5 to keep which is short of a two-thirds majority anyway. Furthermore, there is agreement that "Jumping the couch" is a neologism, but the keep voters are arguing that this neologism is notable for some reason, and have backed it up with some evidence. Second, there is at least one delete vote which wants part of the article moved to Jumping the shark, this would probably require at least a redirect to be left behind to remain GFDL compliant. I also get the impression that many of the complaints to this article is that it is awfully similar to the more common "Jumping the Shark" phrase. I would like to point out that my closing of this debate as a "keep" does not mean that it's impossible to merge this article with something else if anybody will be bold and do it.

[edit] Jumping the couch

• Comment: "Jumping the shark" is not a neologism, whereas "jumping the couch" is. Also, the examples used are highly POV. Punkmorten 14:59, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, the examples are highly POV right now. Sounds like a vote against the content of the article, instead of a vote against the article itself. -Macuxi 03:20, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I think we could even get a little more people on this list. It amuses me. -GamblinMonkey 20:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I hardy think 'it amuses me' is a good reason to keep. Surely this is BJAODN? --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 15:58, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Delete: Oh, fine. It's non-notable (unless the phrase actually catches on someday) and very opinionated. Despite its humor, it should be done away with. -GamblinMonkey 15:03, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete neologism. JamesBurns 04:47, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and move an example or two to Jumping the shark, which already has a sentence to explain the phenomena - "Hein also uses the 'jumping the shark' concept to describe other areas of pop culture, such as music and celebrities, for whom a drastic change was the beginning of the end." --Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/C 05:02, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it is a neologism, so what? I think we need a bit of everything here. Purple Rose 13:14, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This was recently featured on imdb.com's daily news [9]. Yes, it is definitely neologism, but I think this term is gaining enough notability (and notoriety) to be kept here. --Deathphoenix 18:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This particular neologism is getting a fair amount of press coverage, and gets far more hits than indicated above. Seems to indicate "realistic evidence of existence". In time, this phrase may just fizzle out, but it's too early to tell. -Macuxi 03:20, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete At this point, I can't consider this a term so much as it is a current media joke: it's a pun-- the equivallent of having an article about a quip that Letterman said last night in his monologue. It might catch on as slang but even if it did, this article would only serve as a dictionary definition followed by POV examples. BarkingDoc
• Keep, and for three reasons.

1. The assertion that this article's topic is "not notable," especially when that assertion is not backed up with evidence or argument, is no reason to delete this entry. There are many entries in Wikipedia that most people would not consider notable. That gives us no reason to delete those entries, however. Wikipedia aspires to be a collection of all human knowledge, whether that knowledge is notable or not. Indeed, perhaps the more esoteric an entry is, the more useful it is; it serves a purpose that is likely not served elsewhere on the web.
2. That the article is allegedly POV is absolutely no reason to delete it. If it's POV, then alter it so that it's neutral. Many people believe the entry on President Bush is POV. Does that give us a reason to delete that article, though? An article's non-neutrality is no reason, by itself, to delete the article.
3. The fact that this entry has been referenced by another website, and a significant one at that, is further proof that this entry is serving a useful purpose. Shouldn't we be doing everything to make sure that Wikipedia is a popular and frequently used reference source? Deleting this article would be doing precisely the opposite.

• • Comment on the last post - In reply to your points
    1. The pressure should be on the keep camp to prove notabilty. NOT on the delete camp to prove non-notabilty. Proving notabilty (if notable) should be a lot easier, anyway.
    2. I agree here. POV article should be edited, no deleted. Non-notable articles should be deleted.
    3. I personally wouldn't consider being linked to by one site (even a major one) proof that the article is notable. However, I can understand that others would. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib)

Reply. Curious. Why should the burden of proof be on the "keep" camp? Because of the open-endedness of the Wikipedia project, it seems to me only natural that the burden of proof for non-notability should be on the "delete" camp. Please explain. Hydriotaphia 06:22, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Offence unintended, poor word choice. - brenneman^(t)(c) 23:00, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• This article does seem to be discussing the word as much as defining it, so it's more than just a dicdef. Still I'm unsure if Wikipedia is the place for this sort of thing. Abstain for now. Will watch this one. Agentsoo 13:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep:D. J. Bracey (talk) 14:21, 3 August 2005 (UTC) The article presents facts about lenition and clear cut examples of usage, and I may come back to add quotations if I can find them. Such will not be feasible on the fuck article, as that is already large and broad that a quotation/in depth explanation from a random word attached to the end of the article would look very contrasting to the rest of the article. Instead of redirecting, I added a "see also" link for the curious reader wanting to have a broader perspective. The entire purpose for my writing the article was to make the Spanish profane term less vague. I, therefore, believe that this article can stand on its own. However, I respect 195.194.4.65's opinion. I also wrote the article on Chingar in collaboration with Hajor, and it has expanded quite rapidly. I see no reason why this article could not do the same. D. J. Bracey (talk) 14:21, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Response to Aaron Brenneman: I believe the article has more than a simple dictionary definition, which has been stated by both the previous editor and I. I don't believe that brash statement belongs on top of the page anyway, as it will probably bias other users' opinions becuase it looks as if it is a summary of the article. Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 14:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

New idea: Create a redirect as User:195.194.4.65 suggested, and merge extra info from Joder to the Chingar article. D. J. Bracey (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Trying to focus on the body of it, I can't confirm from the information given if this conforms to WP:MUSIC, and on the face of it seems unlikely. (That is to say, Humus' characterization might make major labels avoid this arist.) Can anyone confirm any tour dates, etc? - brenneman^(t)(c) 15:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Hmmm.. I can vouch for the historical part, I've read some of his 'works' however biased/controversial they may have been, and I've heard of C-Flow, seen some posters advertising a performance (sometime last year)- you know, the type you see around telegraph poles etc. but never actually seen a performance. --SSaint | Talk (UTC)

User: SSaint has six edits, four of which are to an article about written works by Adam Kukielka, Polish Hill River. - brenneman^(t)(c) 11:38, 6 August 2005 (UTC))

• Comment Athough not one of my favourite artists, I saw C-Flow perform in Wollongong during his east coast tour (summer 2003) and I was one of maybe 400 people there. Considering Wollongong isn't huge, and Australian hip-hop isn't very popular, 400 people is a massive turnout, and it was only in a school hall, so it was pretty full. I heard he drew much larger crowds in Sydney and Brisbane, and my friend is a big fan. I don't see how he isn't notable, and I'm surprised you other aussies haven't heard of him. --MC Grave | Talk (UTC)

• Note on retention Smirnoff By wikipedia rules C-Flow passes the following: 6. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. The city in this case is Adelaide and the style is Pacific Hip-Hop. Additionally C-Flow easily passes the google test (27000 hits). 12:02, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: I've translated it. The author claims it's the biggest outdoor LAN event in Europe. No idea if it's true or verifiable, but I'd Delete it as a substub unless someone expands to include its location, organizers, etc. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:38, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it is the biggest outdoor LAN event in Europe. Give me a couple days to expand it; it has national media coverage and basically consists of hundreds of people with tents and computers, and storage capacity exceeding a petabyte. Radiant_>|< 13:49, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, the article was created by an enthousiastic visitor (I recognize his nickname) noticing the absence of a English article apparantly, but needs expanding. I believe CampZone is notable because it is an established unique large outdoor LAN party event. I haven't been able to disprove the claim that CampZone is indeed the largest outdoor LAN party at the moment yet. I'm going to expand the article as much as I can (I have been participating in the event for three years now). JeroenHoek 16:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I also am convinced that Campzone should be allowd to take it's place here. Although i also can niether prove/disprove the "biggest in Europe" claim, i DO know that it is big, and fast becoming a "Cult Event" in Europe and is worthy of a wider audiance, especially in an Online Encyclopedia like Wikipedia. I myself have just returned from my 3rd Campzone event and as always am looking forward to the next years Event. The addition of this entry will only help the growth of an already much publisized (in Holland) event in the gaming community. --Coyotekid57 17:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, CampZone is quite an unique event and it's worth a place in the Wikipedia so more people can take notice of the fact that an event like this exists. CampZone is also working on a more international character of the event, so a Wiki article can be usefull to reach some more people from abroad. At the moment people are seriously busy expanding the article. Please give them some time to write it. --Chell 22:39, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I am one of the organizers and would also like to request to keep this article. There is allready a forum thread active on discussing the entry and which information to provide. Speaking as organisation of Campzone I would also like to see a correct and informational article take form and be incorperated into the global knowledge that is wikipedia. Several plans are beying made to submit information in detail. This is not just meant as a big advertisement, we have enough of that. Campzone to our knowledge is a quite unique event, especially on our scale (1700+ people). Biggest outdoor lan in Europe is certainly true, actually, I know of no other in the whole world? --Quindor 23:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous. On one hand there is agreement that the article should not stay as it is. On the other hand there is no consensus to discard everything here. I will therefore in one sense "remove" the article by making it a redirect to school bus, while preserving the history. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Church bus and school bus safety

The first half of the article is about the Bus accident at Carrollton, Kentucky in 1988 on which Wikipedia already has an article. The second half is a load of safety instructions, advice and suggestions about buses -- school and church buses to be precise. Consider this comment by the author of the article on its talk page "... I am writing this to everyone in memory of the victims of the school (church) bus tragedy which occurred at Carrollton, Kentucky on 14 May 1988." Dr Gangrene 19:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Although I think the article should be deleted, there may be some valuable content here that could be incorporated into other articles. Dr Gangrene 14:54, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Wikipedia is not a memorial, nor is it a how-to. The first half is a duplicate of another article, so a delete is in order after any merges are done. Sonic Mew | talk to me 16:49, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

  Your vote is ill-formed. Merging content requires that the original be kept. (perhaps we need a "tombstone" template for such articles). Gazpacho 17:29, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge and I will merge this with Object-oriented programming for now. This is a tough one, because there are six delete votes and three merge votes. Often (probably usually) I will call 6-3 a delete. However, the deciding factor is that many of the merge votes gave fairly well founded reasons for their votes, therefore I will use my discretion and let the comments decide this close debate.

[edit] Checking type instead of membership

Silly mistake made by silly computer programmers. Not notable. r3m0t ^talk 15:20, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete? Do people actually do this? ;) To be fair, though, anti-patterns include a lot of silly programmer mistakes, such as busy spin and double-checked locking, that are based on misconceptions about how to write code in a modern OS or language. Perhaps there should be a section of common programming errors that this can go into? --FreelanceWizard 23:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not a topic for full article. Pavel Vozenilek 02:20, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. Together with the rest of the anti-patterns, it makes for an interesting collection of programming mistakes, which I at least feel I get something out of looking through. Oh, and yes, people do actually do this: I have. BenBildstein 04:58, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. I agree, a merge is a good idea. This is more common then one might think. In my experience people often search the API for a solution instead of the language reference, and thus end up with stuff like this. Bergsten 00:47, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Out of curiosity, into what article would you suggest merging this into? --FreelanceWizard 11:18, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Probably into a new article, but merged with other articles that more or less only represents a programming mistake. Or does one already exist? Bergsten 11:37, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Just to clarify myself. In many cases where I have seen this the programmer understood what the code did and used it accordingly. The program worked just fine, but the code did not take advantage of the OOP features available in the language. Bergsten 12:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, don't delete. Maybe into Object-oriented programming or maybe into a big article with some other anti-patterns not notable enough for their own articles (for example, Escalating commitment to a single, failing course of action). —Keenan Pepper 08:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
