[edit] List of Lindsay Lohan Remixes

An article on one of Lohan's songs is good enough. An individual article documenting the remixes of her songs is completely pointless. Remove it. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

merge/redirect to Lindsay Lohan and don't waste our time with another needless AFD. --Rob 19:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Another needless AfD? Laughable. If this one is needless, then every single other AfD is needless. If I believe that there is an article that is not required on Wikipedia, I will nominate it for deletion. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 19:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- You didn't appreciate why I said it was needless. I didn't vote a simple keep, I voted merge/redirect. You can place a redirect without an AFD. If this was List of Jo Blough Remixes, an AFD would be warranted. You could put in a redirect by youself, in under a minute. Instead, you'll waste 5-days, and several peoples time. Also, next time you do an AFD, be sure to put the text "AFD" in the edit summary, so watchers of the article are aware of what you've done. Also, as deletion is not "minor" please don't mark the addition of the AFD tag as a "minor edit", as you did. --Rob 20:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - I would rather list it here then start a possible edit war with several other users. A poll is better-suited than an argument. By the way, I will click the "minor edit" if I want to. Please don't start a silly argument with me here. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 20:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - You're welcome to use minor edit when you want, and not put in an edit description if you don't want. However, you'll find that others will assume all your edits to be major, and in need of review if you follow such a practice. --Rob 20:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletions. -- Rob 20:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete/merge is certainly reasonable. This is not, and doesn't look like it even could be, an encyclopedia article. I'm not sure I agree that the Afd is pointless tho. It gives us the chance to come to the conclusion that this list should not be an entire article by itself. I've no prejudice against some of the content being merged elsewhere, as appropriate. Friday (talk) 20:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. BTW, depending how the Afd goes, it might make it harder to merge. There seems to be a growing feeling that a prior Afd prevents merging after it's over. I don't agree with this even a little bit, but many other editors apparently think that way. Also, I'm not sure this is useful as a redirect, so even if merging is the main goal, the deletion question probably still needs to be resolved. Friday (talk) 20:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete/merge/redirect I agree with Friday. WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 20:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I though generally merge+delete (combined) is not an option, due to GFDL, which requies retention of edit history of old article, if its content are used in another article, in order to ensure attribution requirements are met. --Rob 20:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Could be, I'm far from an expert on licensing issues. At any rate, there's no actual content here, so maybe it's not an issue in this case? If the names of notable remixes get used elsewhere, who's to say that it came from this article and not from a CD jacket or somewhere else? Friday (talk) 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- True, there isn't much content. So delete/redirect (no merge) would be legit. --Rob 21:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete, no merge or redirect. Article fails to establish the notability of any of these remixes or if they were officially commissioned by Lohan's record label, and there's currently no way to verify that these remixes exist at all. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Remixography of Mariah Carey. Extraordinary Machine 22:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Extraordinary Machine nailed my opinion: Unless a remix is demonstrably known as well as (or better than) the original, its worthiness of any mention at all is dubious at best. I say, lose it completely. Radio Kirk ^{(talk to me)} 23:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete based on the Mariah Carey precedent. -- Mikeblas 17:09, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep and expand. I don't believe this belongs in the main article. I would also remind Mr. Kirk that vote tallies are frowned upon. -- JJay 21:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I see... Radio Kirk talk to me 21:47, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

...because like in this case they are prone to error, POV based and designed to influence voting trends. They often lead to bold predictions or statements of fact not grounded in reality. They can mislead or intimidate. In short, they are disruptive and do not facilitate reaching consensus. -- JJay 21:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, to be honest, I find that something of an overreaction. There was no running tally; rather, I intentionally waited until there was a significant period of inactivity before noting the tally. If you wish to see that as "disruptive", well, that's your prerogative; I happen to disagree. Radio Kirk talk to me 22:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it was this unexplained edit, which was diruptive. The closing admin can count, and won't need your tally assistance. --Rob 22:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Fine. Radio Kirk talk to me 22:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC).

After nearly two days of nonactivity, the vote (including multiple options) stands at 6 for deletion, 3 for merging, 2 for redirection. Radio Kirk talk to me 17:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

merge/redirect to Lindsay Lohan. I agree. having this separate list is confusing. Atrian 03:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Information is verifiable, and would only crowd the main Lindsay Lohan. This is exactly the sort of thing that usually warrants a page of its own when the main page gets too big. Lists of things in particular are good candidates from splitting off from other pages. Turnstep 17:45, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

You don't feel that a list of this type is an indiscriminate collection of information? It sure doesn't look like an encyclopedia article to me. Friday (talk) 17:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Not at all, this is not a random collection of data, this is a tightly focused list. It certainly does not fall into any of the eight examples on the aforementioned page. Turnstep 18:54, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Merge or redirect to Lindsay Lohan article. --Terence Ong ^Talk 13:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Narwee High School

A now-closed school whose only claim to fame is that a politician once attended there is not sufficient for inclusion in WP -- (aeropagitica) 23:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Longhair 02:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I agree. Catherine breillat 00:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete We normally Keep High Schools, but I see no use for a closed high school --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 00:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's a difficult question because Wikipedia is not a news source; if we keep high schools that are open now, we should, in principle, keep high schools that are currently closed. Abstain CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 00:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep per WP:SCH, because the history of this school is imporant to coverage of education in Narwee, and because wikipedia is not a news service. ~~Closed high schools might be more of a merge candidate than open ones.~~ Kappa 01:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This is no longer a school, so is not covered by the Wikischools project. Only claim to fame is as ex-school of PM - should be noted in that article. Does not need article of its own. Batmanand 01:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think that will come as news to the wikischools project. Kappa 01:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge with city or district per WP:SCH or barring that delete it. No longer needed since closed.Gateman1997 01:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Do you really think of wikipedia as a directory? Kappa 01:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - No, but I also don't think of it as a dump for a blurb on every school on Earth, especially stubs on closed schools.Gateman1997 01:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Obviously WP:SCH is failing to make any progress. Kappa 02:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
      - How do you figure? If someone expands this article it will meet the keep criteron. But as is it does not.Gateman1997 05:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Deletionists are still trying to get schools deleted, and not showing any respect for the views of the other side. Kappa 05:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Where are you seeing disrespect by deletionists? I see nothing but merge and keep suggestions here by anyone involved in the SCH debate.Gateman1997 05:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Funny thing, Kappa - it looks the same from this side. I also think any concerns you have about WP:SCH have to be examined in the light that you have not participated in discussion there. Had you shown the least interest in showing some respect yourself, I might be more sympathetic to your viewpoint. D e nni ☯ 01:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete quid auctor inquit CaveatLector 02:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and expand. The school existed and has a history. It remains important for 1,000s of people and therefore lives on. Do we delete a bio when the subject dies? Maybe we should also delete World Trade Center, Philadelphia Civic Center or the 29 articles in Category:Defunct football (soccer) venues. -- JJay 03:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- and the Roman Empire for that matter... Kappa 03:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - ...or Oropom language and the 72 other articles in Category:Extinct languages. -- JJay 04:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - That's absurd. Are you really comparing a closed high school to the World Trade Center? Neutrality^talk 04:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
      - Of course, it's absurd. I'm saying the fact that the high school closed should have no impact on keeping the article. What is your reason for voting delete?-- JJay 05:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, I actually prefer working on articles on closed high schools because you don't get the same steady stream of vandalism from current students. - SimonP 04:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Neutrality^talk 04:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. In my opinion, schools are inherently notable even after they close. This school even makes a claim of notability as it is the alma matter of a PM. Movementarian 05:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Normally PM means Prime Minister, not premier. --Rob 05:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - I know, I realised he was a premier as opposed to a prime minister after rereading the article. I didn't feel it was important enough to correct. Thanks anyway. Movementarian 07:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and expand. This article potentially could be useful, if relatively obscure. But it will never be exanded if it is deleted. --Hansnesse 07:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep -- where will all the information go? My own school has closed, and there's nothing about my school recorded anywhere online. Is Wikipedia the site to come to for information when all others fail? It can be. Let it happen. - Longhair 07:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep As this is an encyclopedia rather than a newspaper, closure isn't relevant. CalJW 08:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - a school which is now closed has no value in WP - it barely registers as notable anyway, but now that it doesn't exist it has no saving grace. Delete as non-notable. doktorb | words 10:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep as per high schools policy. Or do you intend deleting articles about Eton or Oxbridge if/when they finally close? Jcuk 10:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment That's not the point. This school doesn't have much reason to be notable in the first place, so now that it has closed, it loses all real notablitiy. My former schools have no reason to be listed here and I have no rush to add them just to prove a point doktorb | words 11:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Its entirely the point. Elvis Presley is no longer a singer, should we delete him too? What about Elizabeth I? Or the World Trade Centre? 80.177.152.156 14:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep Just because the school is closed does not mean it is insignificant. Even if a politician did not attend that school, keeping an article on it (and expanding it) would be a valuable tool to historians who do not live in the immediate area of the school and do not have access to town records. Is that not one of the purposes of Wikipedia? To provide information that might otherwise be hard to access? Being a former public school, it is certainly significant enough to include in the ranks of Wikipedia. firenexx 15:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep the information about a closed school remains germane. Should we delete the article on Hurricane Katrina? It's over! Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
keep. As far as I am concerned, the point of concern here is that the school is non-notable, not that it has closed. The fact that it has closed merely guarrantees that it will not become more notable in the future. The comparison to Elvis is absurd- Elvis is gone, but he became notable before he went. This school did not. Im not terribly familiar with WP:SCH, but it seems to me that it considers high schools to be relevant, and I dont consider the dead/alive aspect to be of particular relevance. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 19:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, even if this school is now closed. Carioca 19:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - it looks like valid (granted, somewhat minor) historical info to me. --Bookandcoffee 19:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, notable. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - Simply not notable. --Thorri 22:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Whether it is closed or not is irrelevant. Wikipedia should record the past as well as the present. --Zero 03:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. High schools are notable (as has been established a hundred gajillion times), especially if important politicians are alumni. Open/closed status is irrelevant. - Randwicked 03:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep this one, not least because the current Premier of New South Wales attended the school. --Daveb 15:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Closed or not, this school is notable. Evil Eye 00:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rocky Day

Unferifiable as per WP:V; I googled as best I could and I can't come up with anything referencing a day of commemoration for a prizefight that never happened. Delete. RasputinAXP _talk _contribs 00:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I am also unable to verify that the day is commemorated via various searches. Should be deleted unless sources can be provided. --GraemeL ^(talk) 00:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Same as above - also the user who has provided the information refuses to provide any sources of his own. -localzuk 00:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete as hoax. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete as unverifiable unless good verifiable sources are provided prior to expiration of AfD discussion. As it says at the bottom of every editing box, "Content... must be verifiable," and the policy is clear: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit. Editors should therefore provide references. Any edit lacking a source may be removed." In this case, that would be the entire article. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC) P. S. Rocky Marciano was a native of Brockton, MA. I just did an online search of four Massachusetts newspapers—the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Springfield Union-News, and Worcester Telegram—for articles containing both "Rocky Marciano" and "Valdes," covering the last decade or so. There were three hits, all articles about boxing; none of them mentions any "Rocky Day." Dpbsmith (talk) 00:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete as unverifiable. —Quarl ^(talk) 00:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete as above. If unverifiable, it has to go. Batmanand 01:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

**Not Delete' Hmmm, some people waste their time to put important things here, but others say delete it, Rocky day is not a hoax and if you read it its a day of good intentions. Talk about War in Iraq, majority of people believed it was good in usa, now they do not. Now, if something is not popuplar or not known today, that does not mean it will not be tomorrow, simple as it sounds, so if you idiots want to delete it, fine, but when the day becomes popular I will make sure Wikipedia has no right to have these articles, because you people run the way you like it and think the way you like it and in your small minds you think you are rights based on the lousy standards you created.

It would also be good to grow up and realize that google does not carry everything in the world, then again, we may agree with you, you do have a little point, but in that case, instaed of deleting you can always put an asterix to the side that claims that neutrality of this article could be disputed... BUt of course, people with little minds can not think of that...

[edit] History of sexual abuse as a social problem

This subject may well be a worthwhile addition to an encyclopædia but the page should not be created and left to hang without including factual information and citation of sources -- (aeropagitica) 00:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. It may be poorly written, but the main idea of the topic is there. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Based on the title I had thought I was probably going to vote for a merge into an existing article. Then I read the article and realized that it has no information to merge. It just has unsourced declarations, which Wikipedia will never be in short supply of. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep for the moment. Tag as a stub, see if in a month or so it has improved then reconsider. Topic is of potential significance. Batmanand 01:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete per Squiddy. Batmanand, I would agree with you on many topics, but this one is too big, and potentially troublesome, to leave hanging as it is. If someone with something useful to write comes along they can recreate the article (some different name probably better anyway). Herostratus 16:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Mmm point taken. On reflection, I think I agree with it. Article can be remade if necessary. Original vote gotten rid of, new vote: Delete. Batmanand 18:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete, it feels more like a ghost town than a stub. Let it be recreated later if someoen wants to write it. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 19:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep - Come on people, we should have an article about the history of sexual abuse as a social problem, it's an interesting subject. I'd write it myself but I have other things to worry about, like high school. People can always expand it, I'm sure there are people who'd do it. --Thorri 22:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, my reply to that would be: We should definitely have information about the history of sexual abuse as a social problem. But only once we actually have that information should we have an article on it. As JZGYK says, it's much better to develop the subject at the existing article, and spin off into a sub-article if and when we have enough for such an article. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Yes, I can see your point. Oh, well, the article would've prolly been deleted anyway. --Thorri 14:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete, per above and almost empty. Pavel Vozenilek 23:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I don't know that this is the best title anyway. Wouldn't "History of sexual abuse" suffice. Do we really need to include "as a social problem"??? What for? To differentiate it from say the "History of sexual abuse as a recreational activity" Blackcats 03:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment If kept this should be moved to Deepdene Methodist Church per WP:NC. (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep
- Just as noteable as any of the 1000's of other wikipedia articles on schools (example list)/churches/shopping centres/etc all around the world. (see next point)
- From Wikipedia:Schools regarding which school articles should be kept:
  - It has 3 or more full and complete sentences of verifiable, factual information that is not published solely by the school itself, or already included/better located on a district or city wiki article (ie: phone book information does not count toward the sentence total, that includes city, address, district, or phone number(s)). Such information can be included in the article but will not count toward the sentence total.
- Linked to from A. Harold Wood, who was an advocate and player in starting the Uniting Church of Australia. He was a minister at Deepdene Methodist Church upon retirement (according to the biography). (this is also a reason under Wikipedia:Schools to keep an article relating to schools)
- If deleting, merge into the A. Harold Wood article instead, to add more information on what A. Harold Wood did with his life?

[edit] Turkish Invasion of Cyprus

Nominated once before.
Completing nomination started byt another user. Claimed to be fork. Abstain for now. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 00:32, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Brnneman nominated on my behalf, thank you. I nominated it because this article is a mish mash of information which already exists in better form in other articles. The history and politics of the invasion is covered in Cyprus dispute, the physical aspects of the invasion are covered in Operation Atilla, the casualties to both communities are covered in Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict. The only reason this article exists is because it was a POV fork of Cyprus dispute from a subsequently banned user. If someone can suggest what unique purpose this article can serve in light of the other articles, then I will take note, but at the moment i cannot see a use for it. --A.Garnet 01:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ragnarok Wrestling

Note: This nomination was first made on Dec. 30 but an error kept it from being transcluded onto the page. It has been transcluded to Dec. 31 instead.

This nomination also includes Mitch Brown (wrestler).

This is an independent circuit for wrestling; it was started in 2004 by "the Brown family and friends". Mention is made of the fact that it has "virtually no money" and "an entire roster of wrestlers under the age of eighteen" -- which, personally, makes me wonder how "the winner [of the annual Hardcore Battle Royal, I think] will become number one contender for the United States Championship." In short, I think these guys are working hard, and having a good time doing what they're doing, and they might just end up famous someday -- but that day isn't today, and until that day, there's not enough notability here for Wikipedia. Sorry, guys. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete per own nom.

Delete I might be revealing a little POV here, but just because Beevis & Butthead used it doesn't mean it belongs here. I second the above notion, which is that I don't even see why Wiktionary needs this entry. I don't know what the standards are for Wiktionary, whether slang and vulgar terms are accepted, but I cannot see the value in this. GestaltG 18:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Most dictionaries include slang words, and Wiktionary is no exception. To know what the standards are, please read the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion. Uncle G 19:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Granting that, I wonder if Wiktionary needs to include vulgar slang? Vulgar slang would be different than mere slang; there is a big difference between say, "yinz" (Pittsburgh slang) and the entry in question, Assmunch. I would also challenge the Attestation angle for inclusion in Wiktionary; mention of the term in Friends and Beevis & Butthead wouldn't seem to meet any of the four criteria for Attestation. If it were sent over to Wiktionary, it would be likely challenged there by people who know much more than I do; in that event, it would be like "passing the buck" to Wiktionary GestaltG 20:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - The term under consideration fails the Wiktionary criteria: (1) it is not clearly in widespread use, (2) it is not used in a well-known work, (3) it doesn't appear in a refereed academic journal, and (4) it is not used in permanently-recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year (as far as i know). —Quarl ^(talk) 2005-12-31 20:36Z
    - Whether a word is a slang word, vulgar or otherwise, is irrelevant as far as the Wiktionary inclusion criteria are concerned. You are conflating two different things, by the way. Whether this word satisfies the Wiktionary criteria for inclusion is not the same as whether this specific article should be transwikified to Wiktionary. Sometimes words will satisfy the criteria for inclusion, but Wiktionary already has articles, or simply could do better (than the dictionary articles mis-placed in Wikipedia) from a standing start.

    - I don't recall any guideline that says they are, or are not. I suppose WP:BIO could be used to argue that they're not notable. However, go with common sense: many aristocrats are notable (a lot of people get titles because they're notable), but there are just as many who are not, who sit around looking like horses and flipping through Burke's Peerage. This sort of thing needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis, not as a simple, blanket "aristocrats are/are not notable" thing. I'd say being an aristocrat makes them much more likely to be worth knowing about, but doesn't quite seal the bargain. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 18:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't meet the speedy criteria as it's not patent nonsense and it makes a claim of notability. -- JLaTondre 13:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry I confused hoaxing and nonsense, although there's enough absurdity to make me label it nonsense. Anyway, even if the article claims subject is important, it still qualifies as a speedy nn-bio. The only reason nn-bio would not be a good reason is if some indication or evidence of notability was presented in article. None is in this case. For example, initiating a reading group is not support for notability, and neither is receiving A levels (not to mention his alleged result). In other words, if you see an article that looks like an nn-bio but it starts out by saying the subject is very famous or important, it's still a speedy under nn-bio. That's my understanding. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 14:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The speedy criteria disagrees with that. An assertion of notability is all that is required; not evidence. To quote: "If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AFD instead". -- JLaTondre 18:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

With all due respect, it doesn't. Please take a closer look at Wikipedia:Deletion_of_vanity_articles. It notes that it is important to consider only significant assertions and the plausibility of an assertion. Assertions of notability should be at least "remotely plausible". Note that the more complete policy (not the snippet you quoted) says "An article about a real person that does not assert that person's importance or significance - people such as college professors or actors may be individually important in society; people such as students and bakers are not, or at least not for the reason of being a student or baker. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to VFD instead." It should at least be clear from this that what is meant by "assertion" is quite different than what you mean. Here assertion means a statement of some fact that would indicate notability, not an outright statement such as "he is important". If we couldn't speedy articles that started with "X is notable", simply because it asserted notability in this way, a lot of vanity articles would not get speedied the way they do now. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 01:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

To quote Wikipedia:Deletion_of_vanity_articles: "Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion." Rejected speedies show up on Afd all the time because notability was claimed. But we're going astray of the main purpose of this page. If you want to talk further, why don't we move this to my talk page. -- JLaTondre 01:46, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of anti-heroes

This list is highly questionable. The criteria for classifying a character as an "anti-hero" are far more subjective than even "normal" heroes. Such a list allows people to add characters willy-nilly. A few readily recognizeable and fairly undisputed anti-heroes could be listed as exmaples in the entry for the anti-hero and serve the purpose much better. This list is unecessary, highly POV, and completely beyond any manner of being proven. CaveatLector 02:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

My response to this :

I am not the person you name but I did the articles based on extensive coverage he receives in the Scottish printed press & television, not just "on a bit of protest coverage by the BBC". Winning Parliamentary debates which turn into successful legislation & changes in regulatory rules, helping users of a required service - that of a solicitor is on the whole, more than 'a bit of a protest'.

You can delete the articles if you like. It is your privilege to do so.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the short statement left in the blanked article, there was no one identified by name who "demanded " that the article be removed.

i note the matter & issues arising. Based on this, I am no longer interested in wikipedia.

As far as Google searches go, Life in Scotland doesn't yet hang on their every reference. I note the reference to WP:VAIN. There's plenty of that around anyway so it will do no good to add to it then. Please therefore delete the articles forthwith.

So, Tomlillis, two days on, the article has not been deleted, contrary to my request to do so, but one of my articles certainly has. What gives ? Since I am happy for the articles to be deleted, along with my userid, quoting Wikipedia's policy on such matters as expressed in the terms of deletion, I don't see why the article should be kept around longer, unless it's just to get some more knives stuck into it.

[edit] A Fish Called Raven

Individual episode of "That's So Raven." Not encyclopedic. Klaw ¡digame! 04:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

User:EditingAllison has been steadily adding these one-line episode lists this evening; see [8] (and see more AfDs below). I suggested on her Talk page that a better spot for one-line summaries might be That's So Raven episode list, but no response. I fear for her sanity if she makes all 96 article and then they are deleted, but I'm not sure what else to suggest. I would vote to merge into That's So Raven episode list, and not to redirect since we will end up with 96 very unclear page titles like Party Animal. bikeable (talk) 04:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Further comment: I wasn't helped a lot by skimming through Wikipedia:Centralized_discussion/Television_episodes, but I did get a sense that there is some agreement, if not consensus, that individual episodes are not generally notable, but may be in some cases. bikeable (talk) 04:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reductio ad googlism

Oh the irony... I'm going to "appeal to Google" on this one... 0 Google results [9] suggests that this is original research (see WP:NOR, and/or a neologism. Could certainly be a real phrase at some point... if it's formally defined somewhere and used in some media. Currently it doesn't seem to be used off of IRC, allegedly.

[edit] Maine Coon/Gallery

Per WP:NOT: "Collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons." I have tried several times to explain to the two editors on Talk:Maine Coon#Pictures about this policy, and the other flaws with this page; apparently my interpretation is wrong and once "consensus" has been reached on an issue, you can't touch anything. I even spent time creating a gallery on Commons, commons:Maine Coon and linked to it, as is the norm, but my efforts were swiftly reverted (and my other edits unrelated to the issue keep getting reverted in the process, so this may be a case of article ownership instead of objective reasoning). I would like some outside editors to weigh in on the issue. —jiy (talk) 04:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Wikipedia is not MySpace, and this sort of thing is exactly what Wikimedia Commons is for. -- MisterHand 04:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

User has since voted 'delete'. --Last Malthusian 14:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The more I think about this the more I realize that the real issue you (jiy) have is that you A. - didn't do the polite thing and then B. - got pissed when the rest of us didn't do the polite thing back. Quite hypocritical and also quite unnesessary. Pschemp 05:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The proper way to handle this - for whatever "research value" someone's home snapshots of their pets may truly have - is to create a website at myspace.com or some similar site and link to it from the Maine coon article. I think cats are adorable, maine coons especially, but this really doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Durova 05:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History

Here's the whole history. Obviously this afd tag is a ploy to force action by user jiy. I noticed you left out a few things about the issue. Nothing like making a whole new page to hash out what has already been decided by consensus because you think you know better. Your know your edits were reverted because they violated a previous consensus, were made without ANY previous discussion or warning on the talk page, and constitute a narrow and incorrect interpretation of policy. Stop crying "poor me!" and acting like you've been wronged. You blatantly ignored the history of the article and when no one agreed with you you started this. If you had used tact and correct ettiquite, maybe people would be more willing to listen. Pschemp 04:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Holy flurking schnit. I edited out 10k of background material cut-n-pasted in here from Talk:Maine_Coon#Pictures. Anyone who cares can go read it there. Since Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files, I think this is a clear delete, and the precise number of pictures on Maine Coon should be worked out in some other civilized fashion. bikeable (talk) 05:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

The precise numebr of pictures has already been worked out. The issue here is whetehr the gallery page should be kept or ir should be moved tot he Commons. I vote commons.Gator (talk) 16:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. The dispute should have gone to RfC in my opinion. Since it wound up here I vote delete as there are already enough pictures in the article to illustrate the point. Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. Movementarian 09:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete Commons is for galleries. Make a link to the commons from the article and put the pictures there. We're not losing anything by deleting this. Night Gyr 15:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Lot of drama here, all of which could have been avoided by everyone reading WP:NOT and WP:OWN, but in the end there's nothing to discuss. Wikipedia is not a gallery. Wikicommons is. --Last Malthusian 18:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete* Ok i see that the page doesn't belong. The lesson here for JIY is that some warning on the talk page and not going into a snit when your edits were reverted probably would have made this a non-issue. Pschemp 22:46, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete as per WP:NOT. Galleries are evil. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete or create a Maine coon article and link/include these pictures within it. Wikimedia Commons is the proper place for collections of images. Wikipedia is not. Jessamyn 01:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Merge merge this into the Maine Coon page like it was before in order to avoid any future confusion, but the commons is a fine place for the images per a compromise to the previously hashed out consensus.Gator (talk) 15:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
All those voting on the basis of WP:NOT should be aware of the ongoing discussion on modifying this restriction at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/galleries. However, that said, since the Maine Coon article indicates that this breed of cat comes in almost every coloration, a gallery of random cats adds little information beyond that made available by having a few well choosen images in the article.

[edit] Jonas Quinn Syndrome

This is an elaborate little article, but it's author seems to have invented the term. For starters, the "syndrome" at hand is most commonly related to a much older incident - the switching of Darrins in 'Bewitched' - but also, Google returns no results for "Jonas Quinn Syndrome", so I'm guessing the term started right here with an enthusiastic Stargate SG-1 fan. relaxathon 07:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete or rename...if anything this should be called "Coy and Vance Syndrome" since Dukes of Hazzard did this long before SG-1. -- MisterHand 07:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Delete This is clearly made up. -- MicahMN | μ 07:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This "syndrome" is not sufficiently defined (does it apply to replacement of characters only, or also to actors playing the same character successively?), nor is the term in common use per Relaxathon. --Metropolitan90 08:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I agree the term may be made up (though there are other mentions on the web), but this is a list rather than original material. This is very similar to Chuck Cunningham syndrome page. It may need a clean up and perhaps a new name, but this material does not seem to meet delete criteria. At a push, perhaps a merge with Chuck Cunningham page - though characters swaping is different to characters vanishing, or to new actors playing the same characters (the Darrin thing)Obina 10:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. As worthy of an article as Cousin Oliver and Chuck Cunningham syndrome - TV Tropes website uses JQS - http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JonasQuinn 58.164.216.77 11:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand this reasoning - Chuck Cunhingham Syndrome is an age-old TV term at garners many, many search results outside of Wikipedia. The link you provide for JQS is from another open-edit Wiki site article that was created around the same time as this one. Should we really open up the floodgates to people inventing any new term that pops into their head and creating a Wikipedia article for it?

The phenomenom is legitimate even if the name isn't. PMA 18:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

This illustrates what I mean by the syndrome being insufficiently defined. This Wikipedia article says that Jonas Quinn Syndrome occurs when the original actor/character returns to the role after quitting the show, while the tvtropes.org article uses examples where the original actor/character never returned to the role, including some where the original actor never could have returned because he had died (8 Simple Rules, NewsRadio, Cheers). The term does not have a standard definition yet, nor does that definition have a standard name yet. --Metropolitan90 01:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I see your point - both the "actor leaves and comes back later" and the "character is replaced with a carbon copy character when an actor leaves or dies" are worthy of discussion because they have happened a lot in TV but without a term like Chuck Cunningham or Cousin Oliver they can't at the moment.

Comment. Ok it seems the name is a neologism. What if we re name the page something boring like "TV show character swaps" for now? It seems a shame to delete the material.Obina 11:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, much of the material is repeated from (and the rest could be allocated to) the Stargate SG-1 article. The huge paragraph at the end is actually cut and pasted directly from a longstanding entry in the Roseanne article, so no loss there either. Isn't that a violation of the guidelines, in fact?

Keep but lose card descriptions, and add the history of that creature type. AFAIK there was a large gap after printing first Demons, because Fundamental Christians didn't like that or something. Unglued even includes a card with type Demon striked out and type Beast written instead. Then, when Torment came out Wizards thought that Demons are okay and released some. There were also some design changes to Demons throughout history. Grue 15:27, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Add profile. In reference to Dalbury's comment, there are currently 0 elected Green Party members of Parliament. Unfair to remove a Green Party candidate just because he is not elected.
- Comment Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People still alive, which is a guideline, states that biographies on political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature and major local political figures who receive significant press coverage are approrpiate for Wikipedia. My interpretation of that is that candidates who have not been elected to at least statewide/provincewide office, and have not received significant press coverage (i.e., more than the usual campaign coverage) should be covered in the articles for their parties, instead of in their own articles. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 22:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment The policy of excluding candidates for political office that have not previously held an elected position is biased only to the incumbent in any particular election race. The intent of wikipedia is not to influence an election outcome, one way or the other, but to provide information on all candidates running in an election. Irrespective of their past or current fame, all candidates should have the opportunity provide their information to the web audience through wikipedia in addition to their politcal parties website. 22:10, 26 December 2005 (UTC) - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.87.214.195 (talk • contribs).
  - Comment Please point me to where it says that the intent of wikipedia is not to influence an election outcome, one way or the other, but to provide information on all candidates running in an election. Wikipedia is not a news organization, it is an encyclopedia. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 00:27, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Comment. There is as yet no Wikipedia policy on the inclusion of nonincumbent candidates for office. A proposal is under discussion at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates. I think it would be best to move all discussion there. -- Mwalcoff 04:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
      - That is wrong. For a long time, consensus has been that candidates for office must already satisfy the WP:BIO criteria in some way. Uncle G 19:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        The discussions regarding this issue have been going on for a month now, and no one has mentioned that there was a preexisting policy on the matter. If you believe there should be a policy on candidates for office, please join the discussion at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates.
        
        The discussion was started in an attempt to change the consensus, which has existed for a long time now. Uncle G 04:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
        
        I have never seen such a policy, and as I said, no one has mentioned one in the month or so the discussion has been going on. -- Mwalcoff 12:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
        
        Then not only have you not read Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates (Hint: Read what you wrote above and then actually read the talk page.) you have not even read Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates, where it is clearly explained that the discussion is an attempt to change the consensus. Uncle G 17:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
        
        Pardon me, but I wrote Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates. There was no policy on candidates before I proposed one on Wikipedia talk:Notability (people). WP:BIO does not claim to be a list of all the types of articles who are eligible for articles ("This list is not all-inclusive"). After AFD battles over some people, I felt it would be a good idea to propose a policy on what candidates should be included. After some disagreement on the WP:BIO talk page, we agreed to create a centralized discussion, which is where this exchange should be taking place. -- Mwalcoff 18:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  - Wrong. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. It is not a free wiki host for the posting of candidates' summaries. The "bias" (which is non-political in nature) is towards candidates that have already satisfied the criteria for inclusion, no more and no less. It is not a bias "towards the incumbent", as our articles on Screaming Lord Sutch and Ross Perot (who were never incumbents, but who satisfy the WP:BIO criteria nonetheless) attest.

No Deletion I think it is a company that is trying to do something new. J0e 18:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- But not a company that has actually done anything new, i.e. non notable. Wikipedia is not engaged in speculation on what a person or company listed in an article might or might not do, or whether they will someday do anything notable. I cannot even tell from the article what it is new that they are trying to do (assuming that even mattered for this discussion, which it doesn't because they haven't done it yet) Delete. GestaltG 05:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
No Deletion But you see its an open source art project. Not something that "they may or may not do". And the independent film company that is doing this project I think deserves to be on wiki. For the average person to find out about them and support the out, by contacting them and explaing their ideas or something eles. J0e 06:40; 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, you are a registered user, so you are an editor too. Feel free to rewrite the article into something worthwhile if you don't think it should be deleted. It's not a well written article which is part of the problem. Take the time to rewrite the article, clarify what they are doing, supposed to have done, and why they are notable. You obviously have some firsthand knowledge, and I suspect you of being either a puppet or the original author, but take all of this in stride and just fix the article if you can. Convince the Wiki community by actions why this is an article on a notable subject and not just and advertizement stuck into Wikipedia. If you can't do that, then you have no argument.

The fact remains, no matter how much people hate us or what horrible things we did (there are plenty of articles in wikipedia of people who did horrible things) this is all that matters: http://www.wehatetech.com/whtnutshell.htm. Are there guidelines for podcasts yet, I have yet to see one? Anything there can be backed up upon request. Anything else you have to say can be taken to the article about the podcast.

Hard to reach consensus when most posters are literally blowing this article away:

Consensus should not trump NPOV (or any other official policy). A group of editors advocating a viewpoint do not, in theory, overcome the policy expressed in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not concerning advocacy and propaganda. However, a group of editors may be able to shut out certain facts and points of view through persistence, numbers, and organization. This group of editors should not agree to an article version that violates NPOV, but on occasion will do so anyway. This is generally agreed to be a bad thing.

We all have agendas, just play this one by the numbers Xerves 23:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Galambosianism

As someone who's actually read the works of Galambos has pointed out, Galambosianism as we describe it doesn't actually exist. The previous deletion discussion ended up as a keep under the assumption that the few sources we had were accurate about the subject (the actual arguments for deletion centered around notability); as it turns out, they're probably not. Please read the talk page of the article for a discussion on why Galambosianism as a concept is likely someone's interpretation of Galambos' ideas rather than any actual part of his work. As such, whether it's amusing to read or not, it should be deleted as being original research and not verifiable by credible sources, unless someone can show otherwise. Galambos' actual ideas may yet deserve an article, but Galambosianism probably isn't it. JRM · Talk 14:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

If it's inaccurate then fix it, don't delete it. You can merge to the Galambos article if you want. Gazpacho 00:45, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I can't. Dollars to doughnuts almost nobody can, since the topic is so obscure. I dragged this to AfD to see if people agree with the comments left on the talk page. The only "merge" I could perform is replacing the whole thing with a redirect. I don't like that sort of "sneaky" delete. JRM · Talk 10:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete it. My reasoning is on the discussion page of the article. In sum: "Galambosianism" is a non-concept, unrecognizable term to anyone that is even remotely familiar with his work, and who doesn't want to mock it. It is similar to calling Einstein's work "Einsteinianism" instead of Special Theory of Relativity, etc. The article itself cannot be saved or merged because it makes no sense, is not true, is poorly referenced and researched, and would not apply to either Galambos' biography or to his Theory of Volition. I must say again that it is not the oft-referenced, so-called "obscurity" of the works of Galambos that make this article unable to be fixed. Unless of course by "obscurity" you mean that you can't learn about it yourself on the Internet in 60 minutes or less. Additionally, I concur that a "re-direct", along with maintaining this current article, would be absurdity squared. The article on "Galambos" is also almost complete dross too. I would be willing to go into more depth in support of my opinions if anyone would like me too. There are also thousands of normal, moderately intelligent people out there who have read and studied the works of Galambos, i.e. "Volitional Science". Unfortunately for my case, they just don't seem to read or care about Wikipedia. AK 18:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Google again gives little reason to suppose that "galambosianism" exists. Delete. As for "volitional science", the term does seem to exist -- though this page gives me no reason to think that it's more substantial than any of numerous other self-described (fringe) "sciences". -- Hoary 13:45, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smithers Productions, Dennis Smithers, Jr., Dennis Smithers, Sr., A Bothered Conscience

These articles are all being nominated as a group, as they all relate to the same thing and were added by the same contributor. Google searching for "Dennis Smithers, Sr." produces two unique hits (one of which is the homepage for "Smithers Productions"). Same thing applies for "Dennis Smithers, Sr." Googling on "A Bothered Conscience" turns up many hits...of which four hits in the first ten pages of hits from the Google search are unique hits relevant to the movie. The rest of the hits have nothing whatsoever to do with a movie of any kind, be it this one or any other. Finally, Googling on "Smithers Productions" turns up a raft of directory pages (which are trivially easy to get listed on) and their mirrors. This is, in short, Vanispamcruftisement.

To quote user:FuriousFreddy: if a song article is nothing but a recounting of how the song was made, and how well it did, without explaining that it was, in some way, important and influential to the music industry, there's really no reason for it. Just write good album articles, and selected articles on the important singles and album tracks, and let's keep the encyclopedia balanced. Encyclopedias aren't supposed to be "complete"; they are supposed to provide overviews and guide users to further information on a subject if they want to go beyond the standard level. Something like a Christina Milian fan wiki would be a fine place to have an article on every Milian song, but a general-purpose encyclopedia is not. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs.

To quote user:FuriousFreddy: if a song article is nothing but a recounting of how the song was made, and how well it did, without explaining that it was, in some way, important and influential to the music industry, there's really no reason for it. Just write good album articles, and selected articles on the important singles and album tracks, and let's keep the encyclopedia balanced. Encyclopedias aren't supposed to be "complete"; they are supposed to provide overviews and guide users to further information on a subject if they want to go beyond the standard level. Something like a Christina Milian fan wiki would be a fine place to have an article on every Milian song, but a general-purpose encyclopedia is not. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs. Why write dozens of short articles on singles, with no chances of actual expansion short of padding and marketing-report material (chart positions), when they can be combined into one album article?

[edit] Military Martial Arts

Subject essentially covered in combatives, seems a vanity site for a single individual Prof._Dr._Deepak_Rao_&_Dr._Seema_Rao and product Advanced_Commando_Combat_System. Three articles for one off-site link seems inappropriate. Rorybowman 06:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak Delete The term "Military Martial Arts" seems at first glance to be nonsense, since "martial" = "military." The article is about a notable subject (assuming "military martial arts" is a subject separate from "martial arts"), and mentions many subjects upon which there already exist Wiki articles, but the article itself is poorly written and of little value as it stands. I note that there is a cleanup tag on the page already but if nobody cleans it up soon (i.e. if the original author doesn't care enough to clean it up), it should be deleted.

Keep (strong). As the individual that has recently edited the UtUT article from its poor state to the updated, information and picture-packed state it is now in, I vote for a keep. Also, how is this "unsourceable"? Search anywhere on the internet and you'll see it did exist. There are televisions in Canada by the way, considering there are 33,000,000 Canadians, that would come to about 132,000,000 televisions in the country.

[edit] Weapon of Choice (music video)

This page is copied and pasted nearly verbatim from the Christopher Walken article. Being such a narrow subject, with no references whatsoever, I don't think it really needs it's own article, much less one with so little substance to it.

Keep. Notable video. Who knew Walken could dance? Jtmichcock 18:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Randwicked; the video features an Oscar-winning actor and was directed by an Oscar-nominated director, which places it above the run-of-the-mill video. However, I recommend that the article be moved to Weapon of Choice to allow coverage of the Fatboy Slim song as well; Wikipedia doesn't generally have articles for music videos separate from their songs. --Metropolitan90 21:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we really have a systemic bias against Icelanders. In Category:Icelandic poets there are currently 19 poets (from a nation of about 300,000 people). Admittedly none of them is a woman so I suppose you could say that's one kind of systemic bias. - Haukur 17:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Absolutely non-notable (in fact, I'd never heard of her until my attention was directed to the article), and the article's history suggests anonymous self-promotion or promotion by a friend. Cheers Io 22:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

And if someone wants to include poetesses, it isn't as if there aren't any. Suggestions would include Hulda, Látra-Björg, Skáld-Rósa, Herdís Andrésdóttir, Ólína Andrésdóttir, Theódóra Thoroddsen, Guðný Jónsdóttir frá Klömbrum and Júlíana Jónsdóttir as well as others who escape my mind right now, just to name the some of the older ones.

Delete There are hundreds of thousands of professors in the world, and to claim that they are all notable is presumptuous. I cannot find a paper of his that is newer than 1995 (and only two at that), he does not seem to have won any significant awards, and therefore he is not notable. All the Google hits are news articles based on his death. Notability is indeed a factor (WP:Notability IIRC), and since his funeral is over and done with, it is really no longer a current event. There also appears to be no more info available than what's already here, even from news outlets. MSJapan 22:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep - Retired professor; retired before 2000 AD; not surprising that his last paper is in 1995. Also, he pre-dates internet era, hence, hits would be limited. Given the fact that he was professor emeritus at IIT Delhi, a notable position at a notable institution, I'd vote keep for now. It can be merged with the IISc page even later. --Gurubrahma 14:13, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - In general, "emeritus" is a term applied to almost any former titled professor (as it's based on more than a PhD) who has retired and is still alive. That in and of itself is not notable. That is like saying a professor emeritus at a community college is notable - emeritus does not make notability. He doesn't really predate the Internet, and there should be a list of publications available someplace or some citations if his work was really that groundbreaking - that's the nature of scholarly research - and there isn't. I mean, Hawking oredated the Net, and he is heavily cited everywhere. MSJapan 03:42, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep – IIT prof on visit to an IIS seminar. I'm sure he must have published something given this background. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete or merge - There is nothing here information-wise that isn't already covered in the shootings article already mentioned, and if there's no more biographical info than what is currently available, this will never be more than a non-notable stub. Academic position is not notable; there are plenty of professors (emeritus or otherwise) in plenty of fields who have published seminal works any many papers on their topics in their countries, and almost none have Wikipedia articles on them, nor are they deserving of such, as those pages amount to nothing but vanity pages. I can think of three presidents of the Association for Asian Studies who do not have articles on them, for example, and this is really the same type of situation. MSJapan 07:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't try it again, don't be a juvenile, even if you are. Be mature enough to have an intelligent debate about this, rather than trying to sabotage the deletion process.GestaltG 14:35, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete Looking at this entry fairly, I don't see why this is an "article" or why it's necessarily encyclopedic. I note the following in support. First, it's written in jargon which is about half incomprehensible to me. Wikipedia is a general audience encyclopedia, so articles should not be written in jargon, Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia for professionals. That at least merits a strong cleanup tag. Second, it seems to be a promotional article for a video game and should be deleted on that issue alone, having no other value. Finally, other than the first nearly incomprehensible paragraph, the rest of the "article" is mostly screen shots from the game and lists of features, programmers, and play testers. All of this adds up to a delete vote GestaltG 18:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it should be deleted at all. Millions of people all over the world play Half Life 2 (HL2) and this is one of many wikipedia entries describing in detail the various modifications (mods) to the game and where they can be found. This mod, along with all the other HL2 mods, is free. Therefore, this is not an advert by any means. It is an informational page for HL2 enthusiasts and is entirely useful as an information source. The jargon you refer to is necessary technical detail and would be understood by anyone looking for information on HL2 mods.

An unsigned endorsement for keeping the page. The game is basically a commercial product, at some point along the line, each of the owners of this game paid money. That makes it an advert, even if you classify it as a free modification to an existing program. I wouldn't write an article about the latest free upgrade to my shareware floating desktop clock program, and if I did, I'd expect a speedy delete. If you want to make an "informational page" of this sort, for "HL2 enthusiast" that belongs on a fan site or a game promotion site. Wikipedia is neither. Further, Wikipedia is a general free public encyclopedia, so saying that the "technical detail" is necessary and "would be understood by anyone looking for information on HL2 mods" is not an argument for keeping an article that consists of one paragraph of technical jargon and a bunch of lists and screenshots.

As an evidence it should be kept. How can we imagine to delete it ? It is a full valid mod of HL2 which is free and which is a very good mod. Hey GestaltG, did you read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2_mods ? If you think this mod does not deserve to be listed in the HL2 mods list then why don't you react for Dystopia, Hidden Source, Plan of Attack, or SourceForts?

- - First of all, I didn't put this page up for deletion. I saw it on the Afd list, looked at the page, and voted for deletion. I know nothing about the pages you listed, but if they exist and they are as you represent, then they should be deleted as well. I am advancing as a princple here that individual articles should not exist for modifications to video games. All of the reasons I stated here--they are advertizments, they are not really articles, they are not notable enough to deserve an encyclopedic article, and that they all belong on fansites and game promotion pages, which Wikipedia is not, would apply equally to all of the pages you mentioned. I am not here arguing whether they are "valid mods" or not, since I have no idea what you mean by that, I am talking in terms of encyclopedia content. If these pages are as you say, then I will seek to take this discussion to a higher level and have it endorsed as a principle by Wikipedia that pages about individual video game modifications are not encyclopedic content.

[edit] Star Trek and pedophilia (second nomination)

Unencyclopedic. This is an incredibly weak premise for a wikipedia article since it is based on a throw away paragraph in a newspaper article. Yes, it got some attention from a few bloggers but it remains pure speculation based, it seems, on a joke by a few police officers in Toronto. This should not be an article until and unless there is evidence that it's a credible theory ie it's being discussed seriously in academic circles, there are published articles on it in the media (rather than a passing, half-joking reference) etc. Homey 17:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep According to an article in Mclean's (May 30, 2005), there is forthcoming research on the subject: "Seto and Eke are continuing their research, and will soon start combing through the police files of close to 400 child-porn offenders across Ontario, searching for commonalities and patterns of behaviour. One of the things they will be looking for is reports of suspects with sci-fi collections, especially Star Trek." I think it should, at present, be rewritten to emphasize the uncertain nature of the research, but a definite keep. Note the McLean's article was 4 pages and dedicated to this topic as well. It may well be conjecture (or better put, a hypothesis), but notable conjecture as it is the subject of current academic research. --Hansnesse 18:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

When and if the "forthcoming research" is published there will be a basis for an article. Until then it remains purely speculative without any non-anecdotal evidence to back it up.Homey 19:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

- Comment Unproven claims permeate areas like Alternative Medicine on Wikipedia. They are just notable unproven claims. Specifically by pointing out where the research stands I think this would be useful to a Wikipedia user. Truth should not be the criteria for inclusion, since it would eliminate important but false scientific hypotheses (Phlogiston theory for example) or yet poorly supported hypotheses (String theory for example). The question should be one of notability of the hypothesis, not its truth.--Hansnesse 19:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

No delete. I bellieve this could eventually get around and become a big thing. Yeah, its foolish, but werent all the other 4 letter "bad" words in the dictionary?

I think that the word Nyk should be kept on Wikipedia. I happen to know these kids who put this here and there just trying to do the same thing Paris Hilton is doing with "That's hot." They come from a very small town and have no other way to get it out there.

I would note that the previous comments were posted by user Jake Lykins, one of the kids mentioned in the article. Jake, Wikipedia is not a medium for you to try to make a word that you or your friends invented catch on and become a national phenomenon. Wikipedia is in no way comparable to the media outlets available to Paris Hilton, and you certainly are not in the same celeberty class as Paris Hilton. I am sure that you are not nearly as cute, and you probably have a lot more brains. If you want to make a phrase "cool" become famous, but don't try to use Wikipedia to promote words that you made up at school one day. I suggest you read the previous link to understand why this is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is about compiling the "sum of all human knowledge" to which your entry does not contribute in any significant way. GestaltG 02:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank you GestaltG! I am smarter than Paris Hilton! If you have any idea on how to get Nyk to be a big phrase, other than getting famous, please tell me, because I beleive that it could be a big thing one day. I really don't know any other way to do that. I don't think I could get famous. I'm just an odd kid from Wheatcroft, Ky. I understand that it's not good to try to market Nyk by putting it on Wikipedia after I read all of that stuff. But I have hope in Nyk, and you, yes YOU, will hear Nyk one day or see it wrote on a shirt, and you will remember this. I may not become famous, but Nyk will!

In my own personal opinion, there are some things on wikipedia other than "Nyk" that do not contribute to human Knowledge. If you look up "The Game" you will find a useless rule setting for a game that is so simplistic that it must have been made up by someone. Now... If wikipedia is truly the sum of ALL human Knowledge... then even the simple words made up by people were contributed to human Knowledge. "The game" is much more idiotic than "Nyk." So, do not delete.
- If there is such an entry, then move it for deletion. But don't drag Wikipedia down by trying to twist this argument into something it is not. It may work at home to say, "See, what I didn't wasn't bad because he did something worse!," but that does not apply to this particlar debate here (which is what you are trying to do) because we are not talking about morals or right and wrong in that sense, but rather, what is encyclopedic and what is not. GestaltG 05:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you like me? HUH!? What did I do? I bet you are going to start using Nyk! You know why? BECAUSE IT IS GOOD!

Ah yes, we could see this coming; the petty self-centered juvenile outburst. GestaltG 07:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

um, not to be too contradictingg to what you are sayingg, but if this is not about morales, then take out all the religious articles. They are all about morales, and in my opinion they are not required to be in the encyclopedia. Now, jake is having outbursts, but i am trying to show you that wikipedia does have entries not relevant to human knowledge.
- I am not going to spend days arguing about this, I am busy editing. But if you think "morals" not part of the sum of human knowledge, whether in the form of religion or philosophies, then you should go back to school and learn something. What I said was that Jake could not use the argument that "you can't delete my article because there are more worthless articles" (similar to "I didn't do anything bad because he did something worse" type arguments you use at home) here because the standard here is what is encyclopedic. If you don't understand what is encyclopedic, do some research on Wikipedia's standards. This argument is not going to go on and on, because, first, this is the last time I am going to respond to your kids arguments, and second, an admin (and I am not an admin, so you are arguing with the wrong person) will eventually make a decision to delete your silly article, and that will be the end of it.

[edit] Norsecore

This article was proposed for merging, into an article it repeats. After some time, the articles creator has then made several personal attacks using the articles talk page. After several warnings to the user about Wikipedia's policies, he has continued to make attacks. Minor edits have also been made to the page, which have been reverted with claim of ownership of the user. This article seems nothing more than a made up genre by one person, that is used as a term to seperate out favourite bands from Grindcore and Black Metal. This article is in need of serious attentnion, and then deleting. If there is any truth to this genre, it needs merging into the Grindcore article, where it so belongs. Leyasu 09:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep, though the article could use some cleaning up. This is a valid and widely-used term, as a google search shows. «LordViD» 10:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. As the author invited, I searched for "Norsecore" with Google, and it does indeed seem that the term is rather more widely used than "a made up genre by one person". e.g. see this interview with someone named Hartmuth of Barbarian Wrath Records who claims to have invented the term. btw according to the Wayback Machine this interviews dates back at least to February 28, 2003. --Stormie 10:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Main problem is the content and what is written. As i said, if there is any truth to this genre, someone needs to provide it, and seriously edit the article in question, lest it should be deleted. Leyasu 10:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Good on yer for asking for comments. So, umm, don't take this the wrong way, but ... no! Stop! BAD! While I'm not one of the "no such thing as cruft" or "cruft is offensive" whiners, frankly, just saying "-cruft" is not a good argument for deletion. When you nominate an article, you should give your argument for why the article should be deleted — is it non-notable (why?), unverifiable (how have you tried to verify it?), a hoax (where's your evidence?), etc. Cheers, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

What you've said clearly contradicts the notes on -cruft in the Guide To Deletion, "This article is trivia of interest only to hardcore fans of a specific film, television series, book, game, pop singer, web forum, etc.", so perhaps you can expand your rationale on the cruft concept.

Delete I strongly disagree that most songs should merit an individual entry in Wikipedia, and this is a good case in point. If you cannot write more than one sentence about a minor song by a minor group, then it doesn't belong here. If you could expand this article to more than one sentence, it wouldn't be an article about the song at all, but rather an article about the "modern day cynicsm of the British underworld" whatever that is? If it's not deleted, it should be redirected to an appropriate page on a larger subject. Finally, I also think this one sentence reeks of POV, but I have never listened to this song, or this group, and I don't follow the British underground (whatever that is, I suspect that many different groups could be called "the underground" in any society), so I could be mistaken.

Keep this page and delete the other two seperate articles. Why are those even seperate anyway..? They are redundant. Also, add more legendary weapons to the this current article (as Phil suggested). However, the slight problem with that is that they don't have pictures like the soul edge and calibur do. Its minor, just a small fact I think everyone should be aware of. Also note that this page was created before the two redundant, seperate articles.-MegamanZero|Talk 14:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep There's plenty of other pages of similar fictional basis that offer even less information than this one does. But I recommend deletion of the separate pages. In canon Soul Edge and Soul Calibur are polar opposites of each other (in terms of good vs. evil) but due to their nature of origin, noting both on the same page is more useful.

[edit] Childlove movement Pedophilia advocacy

moved to Pedophilia advocacy on the basis of consensus forming here. AfD template still directs here -- not trying to circumvent process. James James 10:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete or merge with pedophilia. Neologism. Euphemism for pedophilia ~~coined by Lindsay Ashford~~. Google shows virtually all the hits for "childlove" are from dupes of the wikipedia article and from Lindsay Ashford's puellula.org website. The article is inherently POV~~, and largely written by Ashford (who is on wikipedia as User:Zanthalon)~~. The title is non-neutral as it is a euphemism. Homey 19:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy keep This nom is in bad faith Comment There has been over a year's worth of work done to keep this article NPOV. The points you argue have already been gone through in the previous AfD and you haven't brought up anything new. Ashibaka tock 19:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- You may disagree with the nomination but the accusation of "bad faith" is hot air. As for the previous nomination, I was unaware of it as there is no note about it at the top of the Talk:Childlove movement page as is required (why is the old page not in the AFD archives?). Homey 19:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Yes, there is. I retract that it's in bad faith, since you didn't see it, but seriously-- what would you do with this article, merge it into pedophilia? You might as well merge... well I won't stir up anything by drawing comparisons, but they are both very long articles and a merge would shorten both considerably. Ashibaka tock 19:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - No there isn't. Look at Talk:Star Trek and pedophilia to see what the required tag looks like. It's clearly not at the top of Talk:Childlove movement. Homey 19:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
      - That thingy is a template to make it easier to see old AfD discussions, but back in the old days we didn't use templates for any old thing. Also AfD used to be called VfD. Ashibaka tock 20:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Ah ok, I was looking for the template - I see there is a notation made as an ordinary post. Homey 20:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Because it itself was deleted. I've restored it. Uncle G 20:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Okay, now that that's settled, I'm going to vote keep. The biggest problem with the article is the name, which I agree is a distasteful euphemism, but it's used by many pedophiles to refer to themselves, and it was already decided that the name should stay. Any other perceived problems can be cleaned up. Ashibaka tock 20:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- "it was already decided that the name should stay". Decisions can be revisited and reversed. That we "already" decided it doesn't strike me as sufficient grounds to keep the name if not the article. Homey 20:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Feel free to revisit the page's name on the talk page... but you're taking this to AfD instead, right? Generally the only reason to exclude something from Wikipedia is lack of verifiability or notability, so let's get cracking on those. Ashibaka tock 21:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

- I agree, but this is not a normal "euphemism." It has established usage, and, at any rate, we are not describing this alleged euphemism, but what it refers to -- activism for the acceptance of pedophilia and ephebophilia, a very real and notable phenomenon. // paroxysm (n) 21:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Added comment' I'd like to suggest that the salvagable parts of the article be moved to the "Advocacy of pedophilia" section of pedophilia. I'm wary of simply renaming the article Advocacy of pedophilia as, unless we include an equal amount of information against pedophilia advocacy the article will be unbalanced and POV while including said information will likely end up in a duplication of pedophilia. Homey 20:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- The "childlove movement" is not simply advocacy of pedophilia. The title childlove movement is inclusive and accurate, as that is what they refer to themselves as. // paroxysm (n) 21:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. What a ridiculous proposition. "Childlove" was not coined by Ashford, it is derivative of boylove and girllove, more specific terms designating a type of pedophilic or ephebophilic attraction. Even if you don't want to believe it, or the thought of pedophilia makes you squirm, that is not relevant here, so I would ask anyone to consider the notability of this subject carefully before kneejerking with delete. To say that this was "largely written by Ashford" is false in itself; it's been edited extensively to keep POV out since its last kneejerk nomination, which, as is apparent, resulted in a keep. Merging this with pedophilia is not a good idea, as the childlove movement is not at all completely composed of pedophiles, but also ephebophiles, and as jd420 tells me at least, normophilic people as well. The "childlove movement" article is already long enough. Moving on... if you're the type of person who judges notability by a quick tap into Google, please note that "childlove" is a rarely used term. "Boylove" and "girllove" are used much more often, so as to segregate the sexual attractions. "Girllove" gets 18,700 hits, if we exclude all pages containing the keywords "wikipedia" and "encyclopedia." "Boylove," seemingly more popular, receives 332,000 hits. These are only pages Google has spidered. There are thousands of websites dedicated to this crusade, several organizations (everyone's heard of NAMBLA or MARTIJN at least). The movement is notable: it has thousands of members, usually well-masked behind a shield of anonymity. Activism happens, whether the public likes it or not; ranging from promoting what they see as the correct use of the word "pedophile," to advocating the abolishment of age of consent laws. To say that "childlove" is a euphemism is POV itself. It is a term invented by the movement to describe themselves (in fact, it's basically just using the root Greek meaning of "pedophilia"). We have articles on organizations within the movement itself. I find it almost obscene that someone would propose deleting this article and not NAMBLA. The FBI has even acknowledged the existence of a large movement working to "legalize child molestion" in a newspeice on Ashford I seen recently. // paroxysm (n) 21:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- First of all, by definition, the term ephebophile (attraction to post-pubescent youth) excludes those we commonly refer to as "children" (ie pre-pubescents) so I don't accept your claim that "childlove" is not a synonym for pedophilia and that therefore "childlove movement" is not a euphemism for "pedophilia advocacy" as we don't generally refer to teenagers as "children". The primary definition of child is a prepubescent human hence ephebophiles are not attracted to children and the term "childlove" does not accurately describe their feelings or behaviour. I don't deny that there are those who wish to legalise pedophilia. My problem is in using a POV term to describe that movement. Homey 21:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep - there's far too much good content here to simply trash all of it because of a few paragraphs or sections people don't like. I don't think this article is particularly POV, it outlines arguments the movement makes, it doesn't make those arguments FOR them. -Drdisque 21:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

- Please explain how this is a violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. //paroxysm (n) 21:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  - The title is inherently POV (per Homey's comment below). The opening sentence is POV (you confuse claims with facts). Also, this is clearly a POV fork. It's a way you can put in stuff, that might not get as much attention elsewhere. This whole article is written with the basic, and false, assumption the groups seeks what it claims to seek. That of course is rubbish. I would also vote to delete an equally POV title Childhurter movement, even though it would be more accurate in its description than the current title. Be happy Wikipedia (unlike 99% of society) will let you freely and fully particpate and contribute to articles in an NPOV manner, but don't think for a second you'll be allowed your own little POV fork to promote a movement. --Rob 21:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    - If there's a problem with the article, fix it. If the name is wrong, now's your chance to get consensus to move it to Pedophilia advocacy. But you can't delete something from Wikipedia and make it go away. If that were true I would nominate Islamist terrorism for deletion, or merge it into Terrorism, because its activist claims are questionable. Ashibaka tock 22:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
      - Are you changing your vote to rename?Homey 22:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        I would like to rename it, yes (that would be a nice step towards NPOV-ifying), but you have nominated it for deletion/merging. First things first. Ashibaka tock 22:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        A rename doesn't change the fact it's a POV fork. Many other POV forks have been made for various causes, but removed. Pedophilia is the one NPOV word (as it's advocates and opponents use the same word). We don't have a pro-topicX and anti-topicX article. We have a topicX article. By forcing everybody to edit the TopicX, we ensure people from all sides will work together, counter-acting any one groups bias. The purpose of this article, is to advocate a particular cause. It will never do anything beyond that. --Rob 22:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        I understand you're saying that "boylove"/"girllove" is a useless excercise in euphemisms. Assuming that to be so, I think the fact that pedophiles campaign for political issues is a notable thing which deserves an article, and Pedophilia is very long-- the whole thing won't fit. The "childlove movement" (especially NAMBLA) has a long history tangled up with the gay rights movement etc. There needs to be a general article to describe this, so take this one, NPOV it, and move it to your favourite title. Ashibaka tock 23:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment on euphemisms and "what a group calls itself". Holocaust deniers prefer the euphemism "Holocaust revisionist" or "historical revisionist". Wikipedia, as a rule, uses the term "Holocaust denial" rather than the euphemism. Similiarly, white supremacists prefer the term "white nationalists" but we use the former term rather than the euphemism. If we simply have a default where we use whatever euphemism a group prefers to use for itself that would open a whole POV can of worms. Homey 21:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep Whether we agree with the movement's views or not, this is what the movement is most commonly known as - not just within the movement but outside it - and as such, it is the correct title. And the article itself is definitely encyclopaedic, although some sections may be construed as POV and may need a bit of work. Grutness...wha? 00:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

"is what the movement is most commonly known as - not just within the movement but outside it " Really? I've never heard of non-pedophiles refer to this movement as "childlove". Please provide some mainstream citations. Homey 00:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. It's normal to break out subarticles. I'd have no problem with a move to paedophilia advocacy if the antis really insisted, but adding it back into pedophilia serves no purpose except to allow outspoken conservatives to direct our editorial policy. James James 02:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete Zero hits on all common news sources? Then it obviously should be a sub topic on pedophilia. The article in it's entirity is based on the idea that same childlove movement that isn't covered in that sense by the news. prove it to me otherwise. Lotusduck 04:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- If there isn't any press coverage under the movements prefered name, then it doesn't need it's own article. Lotusduck 05:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  - There is press coverage on the childlove movement; it's just not referred to as the childlove movement in their reports because media can apparently not stand to use the word "love" when describing pedophilic or ephebophilic attractions. As I said above, even the FBI has acknowledged the childlove movement. It has thousands of anonymous members and several organizations dedicated to forwording the childlove agenda. There is even a boylove charity. Come on, what kind of notability are you looking for? // paroxysm (n) 05:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
the kind of notability/verifiability of at least the name childlove is per wikipedia standards: it is essential that any primary-source material, as well as any generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of information or data has been published by a third-party reputable publication (that is, not self-published) that is available to readers either from a website (other than Wikipedia) or through a public library. So if newspapers have articles but no third party publisher calls the movement what the movement calls itself, then we don't have some verifiable source calling it that, then wikipedia can't call it the childlove movement either, because we can't verify how widespread the term is, or it should be left to publishers of original thought to determine the occurance of the term "childlove" not original research on wikipedia. Lotusduck 07:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

So why not just move it to pedophilia advocacy? Tell you what, I'll do exactly that. Surely you accept that some people do advocate for paedophiles? James James 09:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've moved the page to pedophilia advocacy. Would those who voted to delete on the basis that the term does not exist be willing to reconsider? I think there is clearly a reasonably sized group of people that does advocate for social acceptance of pedophilia, and covering them, and detractors of them, would be legitimate in my view. Lotusduck, you've been fairly outspoken here, and I accept your view that it is pretty much only those within this movement who call it the "childlove movement", but will you accept my counterargument that whatever it's called, the advocacy does exist and is a legitimate subject for the encyclopaedia. The argument whether it should be broken out from pedophilia is quite separate, but would merging such a long article back into its parent be a really good idea?

Also per paroxysm's reasoning who cited external sources. It is also in line with the naming of NAMBLA it's the NAtional Men Boy Love Association. If pedophilia advocacy was at all used (and not a neologism) it would've been named NAMBPA (National Men Boy Pedophile Association). It is covered by outside sources, but gauging notability by google or Lexis Nexis hits makes no sense, when you know there's a lot of censorship going on about the subject. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:41, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I think that makes it clear the suggested rename is the POV neologism here. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- - "pedophile" isn't a neologism. It's a well established term. "advocacy" is also a well established term and joining them in a phrase is simply done for descriptive purposes. the word "childlove" however does not exist in any credible dictionary. Homey 18:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- In the search "childlove movement" on Google.com of the 146 uniques, the top hit is Wikipedia, the wiki mirrors domininate the other results (this article itself, plus all the others they've worked the term in). There is little non-wiki serious usage of the term in the results, with much of it being the usual "scraper sights" (e.g. search for anything and you get something on their sight). This actually proves that Wikipedia itself is the biggest promoter of the term. Now, sadly, others will likely follow. This shows the movement had great success with Wikipedia, as we forget how influential we are. Other people doing similiar "Google tests" will now make similiar judgements, to accept this term. Also, I would note, in your first search "Childlove" by itself, obviously has meaningings unrelated to the perverted one being discussed here. Even combined with other words, I expect there are people who use the term in the more literal non-perverted sense it's been used in the old article name (e.g. as in "childlove" means "child love" not sexual abuse of innocent children by people who are mad that I called it abuse). Finally, in all Google tests, keep in mind shorter simpler words, that are easier to spell, always get bigger results, and that doesn't tell you which is the proper term. --Rob 13:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

As a patron of the online boylove community for almost ten years now, I had never heard the term "childlove" until Wikipedia renamed its "boylove" article into "Childlove movement" (if I remember correctly). I remember it as a conjured-up term to merge articles on "boylove" and "girllove". I have since noticed "childlove" being used quite often, when wanting to denote the collective boy- and girllove communities (and I've also noted many in the boylove community shunning the term "childlove"). So either I was ignorant of the term before the Wikipedia rename, or Wikipedia itself has contributed significantly to the usage of the term. Clayboy 18:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep With the original name, it's the name of it. See Mgm's comments. Garion96 (talk) 12:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC) I did some more googling.

Comment: For those interested in media coverage of this movement, try http://kctv.com/Global/category.asp?C=73283. Check the videos. Here's the description of one story: "Pedophilia as a political movement? It sounds not just far-fetched but perverse. However, a KCTV5 News Investigation has uncovered such a movement and it’s captured the attention of Kansas ’ top law enforcement official." And a quote from the November 22 "investigation," by Phill Kline, Kansas Attorney General: "There is an effort, a sophisticated effort ... that is funded by [pedophiles] who forword such arguments." // paroxysm (n) 18:43, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

And does KCTV ever refer to the movement as the "childlove movement"?Homey 19:06, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. I am strongly swayed by the Lexis/Nexis result and the fact that no reliable authoritative sources seem to use the term 'childlove movement'. I think that, therefore, talking in detail about the childlove movement breaks Wikipedia's commitment to No Original Research. If there were media coverage or academic discussion on this topic then I'd be saying Keep all the way (and be much less fussed about the name). Yes, it means we miss out on the description of this phenomenon. No, this discussion wouldn't be happening the same way if the topic were Fluffy Bunny Rabbits. However, some reputable source needs to cover this ground before we can. The Land 19:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I think more voters should be involved editors of this topic like paroxy and land. While the article is largely written in a similar voice to encyclopedic articles, the lions share of the article is original research. We would lose basically nothing sourced accurately by deleting this article and starting a fresh pedophilia advocacy section in the pedophilia article. I think so, and anyone who thinks this article just needs a little work should consider working on the article before being sure they want a keep. Lotusduck 20:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment-original research If we remove the parts of the article that constitute original research (more than half the article as far as I can tell) sections 2.1 and 2.2 in particular, the remainder should be short enough to fit into pedophilia. I think there remains a strong argument to merge. Homey 20:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete as POV fork, with string suspicions of original research. --Pjacobi 00:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it needs some NPOVing, but I'm not sure exactly what it's thought it's forking? Articles are often broken out of their parent subjects, but they're not considered to be forks. This is not an article about paedophilia itself but about advocacy for it. James James 01:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The nomination appears to be an attempt to silence highly unpopular political or social views by refusing to allow them to be described on Wikipedia. No matter how nasty a view may seem to us, we are not in the business of refusing to cover it because we don't like it. --FOo 00:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- You can make that allegation if you can demonstrate that somebody voted to keep an opposing POV fork, while voting to delete this POV fork. However, that's not the case. Also, you fail to address the serious lack of *reliable* verifiable information to back up this article. Also, we actually do try to "silence" any POV soap-box pusher on *any* side. If somebody wishes to push an agenda, they're free to do so elsewhere, but Wikipedia is not the place. You're partly right though. Their views are highly unpopular, and argueable "suppressed". Hence, they're rarely published. However, Wikipedia does not champion the rights of the unpublished. In fact, we're quite hostile to the unpublished. We don't (or shouldn't) write anything about anyone unless it's been published by reliable sources elsewhere. Is that fair? No. But that's the price of verifiability. --Rob 02:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep A real movement. D e nni ☯ 02:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
comment Many of us can agree that this article is filled with nonverifiable information. This article could be uniquely about the activism, but information is continually being added that subtly or not describes pedophilia from an unpublished viewpoint. If this article is not deleted it can be weeded down to its' verifiable components. If the verifiable and scholarly parts of this article don't amount to more than a stub, then Pedophilia Advocacy can be redirected to Pedophilia and the content moved there. People who vote either way should help edit this article, although of course delete voters may have more ideas of what to edit. Lotusduck 04:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It clearly would amount to more than a stub. There is advocacy, and it's perfectly sourceable. I agree that it should be uniquely about activism, and responses to that activism, and should it survive this AfD, I'm going to work on making it only about that. As I noted on the talkpage, I hope you'll join me in doing so. James James 05:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. It's a real subject, and a real movement so should have it's article, provided content can be verified. if nessacary, remove the unverified sections, but keep the article. Silent War 06:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep but fix I'm not sure I like either title but there has to be something about this group of people. I really think the pedophilia article needs to stick to medically defined pedophilia. Please don't merge. --Gbleem 08:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I would like to add that there probably nees to be separate articles for those who want to support people who have medically defined pedophilia and those who advocate sex with children. --Gbleem 08:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

- Comment The dividing of the articles should be along subject lines, not along lines of POV. "Pedophilia" should be about the medical and scientific ends, with perhaps a mention of any alternate POVs. Childlove...I think "Ped. Advocacy" or something along those lines might work. But I'm not so convinced "Childlove" is so POV as people seem to make it out, or even want it to be. --DanielCD 16:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I think separate articles is a little much, although this article mixes those two issues and several others together rather badly. But I'm unaware of any sources that specifically call for helping people who have medically defined pedophilia in the strictest sense. There are articles proposing possible revisions to how to treat pedophiles in psychology, which is hardly the issue of pedophilia advocacy. I think what you're describing is "Debate over pedophilia treatment" and really there isn't that much of that in the article. Personally, I haven't got the strength. If it is created, I will do my best to read over the peer reviewed journal references and make things as informative as they can be, but it would be better if an article like that was started by someone with the professional expertise to begin with. I mean, it's acceptable to make an article from reliable sources without having the professional expertise, but it's exhausting too. Part of the reason people only read a fourth of most of these journal articles and then make up their own conclusions is because the things are so long. Lotusduck 14:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

What do you consider unreferenced? It doesn't look like "original research" to me, and even if some was removed, there is far too much referenced text to merge into pedophilia. // paroxysm (n) 20:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The mixing of issues and definitions is exactly why I don't want it merged with pedophilia. Pedophilia is a condition identified by a process that is standardized by a group people with fancy degrees while the childlove movement as described is more of a political/social movement.--Gbleem 22:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I will give an example: In democtatic contries one can find Nazi and Communsit parties. The reasons for they existance are many, including the right of political freedom and the fact that these parties are indicators of the general political state in a given country (i.e. if their popularity start going up, it means that the mainstream politicians do something wrong). A similar argument can be put in the present case. First, if there are peple paying attention to the childlove movement, it is an indicator that it has a political basis, regardless how small it can be. Second, if the arguments of the "movement" are weak, then it will be easy for everyone to refute them again and again. -User:Nllsq (moved from talk page. first edit)

Strong Keep It never ceases to amaze me how people want to delete articles simply because the content it distasteful. I had a similar debate at the Erik Beckjord article deletion; the man is an obnoxious ass, but that's no reason to delete the article. Perhaps it can use a bit of renaming/defining. To try and delete this as if it is not an issue in its own right...that is simply crass and POV to the point of absurdity. Even if it is deleted, it will just reappear, as the subject carries a great deal of importance to some people, no matter what their intentions are. --DanielCD 16:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep, but I might add that this article should be the focus of every decent Wikipedian to crush the POV of sick child molesting bastards. DTC 00:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

If that's how you feel, you should get right on this article eh? I think that this article is about as non-point of veiw as if the Ex-Gay article was composed completely of information found through Ex-gay organizations. That article isn't, and that article is fine. I think a lot of people are confusing neutral point of view with being positive. Lotusduck 02:34, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Eh. To be considered a "child molesting bastard" you usually have to, you know, molest children. Not just advocate its legalization. Maybe you should read the article.

I would also encourage you to stay away from the article if you're going to let your emotions cloud up your neutrality. All POVs need to be presented, but without endorsement. // paroxysm (n) 02:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep - I use this site myself and managed to get in touch with a friend I hadnt seen for years - I think many other members have also had very positive experience: check: http://www.wayn.com/wayn.html?wci=splash&page=testimonials chanoines

Actually, I have been looking into this and all seems very clear:

WAYN allows its members to import their contacts from various address books: for the moment, they seem to have this too working for Hotmail, AOL, Gmail and Yahoo….The process is fairly straight forward and it is made clear what actually happens: by importing your contacts onto the site, an invitation is automatically sent on your behalf – you can check this at the following link: http://www.wayn.com/wayn.html?wci=register2

Their privacy policy is also making this process even clearer – you can check this at the following link:

http://www.wayn.com/wayn.html?wci=StaticPage&page=Privacy – detailed below:

5. Invite a Friend

If a user elects to use our Invitation option to invite a friend to our site, we ask them for the friend's email address. WAYN will automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join the site provided the user agrees to obtain consent from their friends to send them an invitation. WAYN stores this email address for the purpose of automatically adding the respondent to the friends list of the user sending the invitation, and also to send reminders of the invitation. WAYN does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders. The friend may contact WAYN to request the removal of this information from our database.

6. Uploading your Contacts

If a user elects to upload their contacts, they accept that by doing so, an email invitation will be sent on their behalf, to the email addresses of the contacts that are being uploaded and that from time to time, a reminder email could be sent to that contact. By inviting their contacts to join the site, the user agrees that they have obtained prior consent from their friends to send them an invitation. WAYN stores the name and email address of the contacts for the purpose of automatically adding the respondent to the friends list of the user sending the invitation and to send reminders of the invitation on the user’s behalf. The users' username and password will not be saved anywhere on the site. The names of the contacts being uploaded will also be searchable via the name search facility to enable other WAYN users to find old friends. Other WAYN users will be able to send an anonymous email to the user who uploaded the contact name being searched, with a description of the person they are trying to get back in touch with, enabling the user who uploaded the contact to potentially connect the two people together. WAYN does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders. The user or the users' contacts can request the removal of their details from our database by sending an email to remove@wayn.com.

Keep and clean up, as I made an attempt to do. Foreign relations are notable; see U.S.-Canada relations or, if we want to get really specific, Mexican response to Hurricane Katrina. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 23:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Of course foreign relations are notable. However, the future acceptable article is not going to contain any of the present one; it will be a complete rewrite out of POV necessity. That's the issue. Deleting the article doesn't mean that the article isn't warranted, but rather the article's current content. Deleting this entry is clean up. --Adamrush 19:46, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't the name be Finno-Swedish relations? Punkmorten 01:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep & cleanup as per others Scoo 10:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete If this article is cleaned up, it will be content-free. It consists only of a table which is merely a soapbox and, if corrected, would correspond to many paragraphs of as-yet unwritten text. --Adamrush 15:34, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete, this is unreferenced, contextless POV. There is nothing to cleanup. "Cudgel War: alienation Finns–Swedes" - says who? Why? How? The topic of Finnish-Swedish relations is important and interesting, but this is really not the article which Wikipedia should have on the topic. Any article on this topic has to be started from scratch. If this is kept I suggest erasing everything in the article which is not sourced and properly discussed in its historical context. u p p l a n d 16:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete, Sorry i'm a bit late in the discussion here (did not notice there are separate afd-talk pages), but even though the decision is already made i thought i'd give it my comments for the record. I agree with Uppland about this article being so bad that there is jsut two choises, deletion, and or re-write pretty much from scratch. I think this is also such a big matther that teh person re-qriting it should have a specific perspective in the area (not just "i feel that..."). SO unless no-one steps forward to edit it throughly deleting it could be a good idea auntil someone does write a better one.

[edit] Gallery of motorcycle trikes

Note: This debate has been included in the list of transportation-related deletions. -- CylePat 21:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)"

As per the precedence found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallery of motorized bicycles this article is also a type of POV fork; unless of course there was some error in the method of the deletion of the article gallery of motorized bicycle. If Gallery of motorcycle trikes is kept, it goes against the aforementioned precedence. That would be logical grounds to commence an appeal for the undeletion of Gallery of motorized bicycles. (Aside: I would like to see the undeletion of that page). --CylePat 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This is a bad-faith nomination. For the record, and without voting, I made this page to remove these images from the page on tricycle, where in my opinion they overbalanced the article and distracted from the general treatment of tricycles. I did not try to find out if they were already pictured in other articles, and do not actually care one way or the other whether this article lives or dies. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 21:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. This should move to Commons. Delete. bikeable (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

comment: I must agree with user:Bikeable, It doesn't quite meet the WP:NOT criteria. I didn't think of that. So the above precedence doesn't really apply anymore because that article had text describing the photo's and cross references with the main article motorized bicycle. I'm not sure if it's proper form to vote when you nominate an article, but if I could I guess it would be a delete. --CylePat 00:03, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete as a bad faith nomination. CyclePat, PLEASE stop gaming the system. That's all this is. It's just like how you put up an article for deletion on electric bicycle hoping that it would fail. It's against policy. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 03:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I created this, Pat nominated it as retaliation for deletion of gallery of motorized bicycle. As it happens the Commons linnk is acceptable to me, my sole concern was to avoid simply deleting the pictures and thus sparking a possible edit war. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

There really is no need for a merge here. --CylePat 16:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- According to WP:DP this article should be merged because all the info, already exists at the commons page "some other article". If we follow delete policy we should redirect to the commons. Should we continue with this deletion or redirect? --CylePat 17:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fortified District

Unless somebody knows this subject and can edit it I'd recommend deleting. As is, the poor English and insufficient context make it impossible to understand Eagle (talk) (desk) 21:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I don't see any reason to delete it, as it seems to be a somewhat notable term, but I do see many places for improvement. I think a {{cleanup}} tag is sufficient for this article. JHMM13 (T | C) 22:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and Fix I think the problem with this article is that "fortified district" is a generic term with no specific reference, it is not a notable term at all. The article is apparently intended to be about Japanese fortified districts during the occupation of China and Korea in World War II. The article then goes on to provide a list of fortified districts. I think the starting point here is to change the name of the article to something more specific and descriptive of it's actual content. Further, each one of those fortified districts mentioned in the article could be a separate article by itself if written by someone with detailed knowledge and maps, which I do not possess. After that point, the renamed article would exist as a general text article on Japanese Fortified Districts, with links to specific articles for specific fortified districts mentioned in the article. In the alternative, this article could be renamed Japanese Fortified Districts and a number of articles merged into it, such that each of the named areas is a subsection of this article. I am not voting for deletion here, as it is a notable subject, but I disagree that it's a notable term.GestaltG 16:18, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

  - I've seen coherent stuff speedied for being nonsense. I could write, "Once there was a banana who decided that he wanted to drink a cup of tea," and that's perfectly coherent, but it's also nonsense. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^{(Contributions)} 22:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    - No no no, the canonical coherent-but-nonsensical sentence is Noam Chomsky's "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." --Calton | Talk 07:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
    - That's true, but that's nonsensical and incoherent, whereas this is sensical, coherent, and exists in real life as an actual saying (as far as I know, not being a gamer myself), and therefore is not patent nonsense or speediable. --Blackcap | talk 16:29, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
      - "I want more pancakes" is probably even more common and perfectly real, yet we would never accept it as an article. This is no different. / Peter ^Isotalo 06:51, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
        
        Note that I'm voting delete on this. Obviously it shouldn't be kept, I'm just saying that it can't be speedied. As to your example, "I want more pancakes" is a personal desire and is thus non-notable and is also speediable under G3 amd A1, but is not patent nonsense, which is how all this got started. This article relates to an actual phrase used by a number of people (presumably), fits under no WP:CSD, and thus cannot be speedied. A precedent: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lo and behold. Unspeediable expression, except this one was notable enough to go into Wiktionary. --Blackcap | talk 17:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable singer who had a minor album once and has since disappeared from relevance. She has no official website (always a bad sign for a newish entertainer), and her amg entry is just two random pics. This article won't expand, as her career seems dead, and there's no reason to keep this article any longer. Harro5 23:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment I wouldn't say that her career is dead, given that she was born in 1990, rather it is just taking off. Ms Quinn doesn't appear to have become a notable person as yet. -- (aeropagitica) 23:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. I've reverted the mass-deletion of the article which the user who nominated it for deletion carried out when they tagged it for deletion. The stuff they deleted may need a major re-write if the article is kept, but it should remain part of the article or now. I say keep the article as the girl was part of a major UK TV programme and released an album and a single which reached number 2 in the UK chart and singed a £1 million record deal (although it does look like this deal was cancelled before it was fulfilled by all concerned). Evil Eye 00:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Are you volunteering to do the cleanup? Because the article can't stay in its current condition, end of story. Harro5 00:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
  - I may or may not have time to do the cleanup in the next few days, but deciding an article is not written well enough is not a good enough reason to nominated it for deletion. It hould have been marked for cleanup rather than deletion. Evil Eye 01:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
    - I have had a go at cleaning up the article. In doing so I have 'uncovered, so to speak that at the end of last year she was given a reception by the Irish President for her contributions to music. Added to the fact h was second a major TV talent show and had a number 2 hit single, and has over 80,000 hits on Goggle for `Sinead Quinn` [27], I think that makes her notable enough.
