Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Hale Bopp comet controversy caused from the Art Bell show from VfD:

This page was created by an anon contributor and filled out only with the word 'faggot'. This is not an encyclopaedia article and, thus, should be deleted. --Neigel von Teighen 22:09, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Odd -- I could swear I remember having read an article about the Babylonian boundary stones of the same name somewhere here. It doesn't show up in the article history, though, so I guess it should be deleted. --Ben 22:14, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete due to CSD: vandalism (#3). --Deathphoenix 01:50, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete ASAP, vandalism. Wyss 03:56, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Votes since vandalism was replaced with real article.

  • As Ben noted, these were engraved stones created by the Kassites in Mesopotamia to record land grants and land boundaries. They are the only remaining artworks from their period in charge of Babylonia from the 16th Century BC to the 12th Century BC and examples are in the Louvre and the National Museum of Iraq. Encyclopedia Britannica has an article on kudurru and I have created an authentic article for Wikipedia to replace the vandalism which was rightly speedy deleted. Keep the rewritten article.Capitalistroadster 09:39, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Since the article is no longer vandalism it was initially reported for, I will remove the notice and ask for this listing to be ignored. Mgm|(talk) 10:44, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep re-written article. ----MPerel( talk | contrib) 07:44, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

Looks like an ad for an unimportant newsletter. JoaoRicardo 06:52, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The second largest community newspaper in Denver? Features columns by the Colorado Legislature's Speaker of the House? — 63.231.76.239 (Attribution added from history Uncle G 01:59, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC))
  • Yes. Uncle G 01:59, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • With the advertising removed, it is a somewhat thin article. Uncle G 01:59, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • Delete, the article as it stands doesnt have much, borderline notability. Megan1967 03:35, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, ad for another local Denver newspaper, not much for an article. Wyss 06:42, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • An author in a publication 5000 circ meets the Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies. A weekly newspaper itself in Denver with readership of 15000 doesn't? Keep; expandible. Samaritan 10:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Article can certainly be expanded. And I agree with Samaritan's reasoning. Keep. 131.211.210.157 10:53, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gawronska

Looks like vanity. JoaoRicardo 06:08, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, not notable, geneaology, possible vanity. Megan1967 03:34, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as genealogy with a bit of foreign dicdef, (could also be vanity). Wyss 06:41, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

from VfD:

The basis for placing this on speedy deletion appeared to be that the city was unnamed: which is why "what links here" was invented, revealing that it is in fact Sheffield, UK. I think a decision needs to be made on whether this is notable enough for an encyclopedia i.e. whether it's made up or whether it needs clean up. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:46, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge into something regarding Sheffield. --JuntungWu 01:54, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually Sheffield has had a dangling hyperlink, pointing to this, for some time. Uncle G 02:11, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 03:33, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Sheffield anyway, then Delete, it'll grow there. Wyss 06:38, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I suspect that it grew out of the dangling hyperlink in Sheffield in the first place. Sheffield has a lot of links to separate articles for its landmarks, a lot of which have been written. If you are going to merge The "Hole in the Road", then you'll have to merge all of them as well, otherwise you'll make things terribly lop-sided. Such a merger will be a lot of work. I don't think that you'll get it done. Uncle G 13:30, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • Merge and don't redirect. If it's included there, it'll have a better chance of being expanded, if that's at all possible. 131.211.210.157 10:56, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • It is a major landmark in Sheffield (although not unique to Sheffield), and so does merit an mention in wikipedia. merge into Sheffield landmarks, a meta article with the details of the minor ones and summaries of the ones with large articles. Thryduulf 22:41, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, no redirect necessary. RadicalSubversiv E 01:03, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Castle Square

I looked at merging this into the Sheffield article but there didn't seem to be a suitable place for it to go. Instead I have created a new article: Castle_Square,_Sheffield, which is the official name for this area. I have made a more complete history of theis square and included the details of its time as "The Hole in the Road".

[edit] Capitalist Money Madness

It may well describe a real phenomenon, but this is a neologism. Cdc 00:29, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, neologism. Megan1967 03:32, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, article provides no evidence of widespread use for this PoV political slogan. Wyss 06:37, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. POV neologism. jni 08:59, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Carrp 14:02, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a very real phenomena that requires a phrase to encapsulate it and facilitate discussion etc. Because it is disparaging of capitalism, there will obviously be supporters of this socio-economic system that do not wish to have such a critically descriptive phrase in existence, and will therefore want it deleted. For an example of Capitalist Money Madness being used and discussed, see the talk forums of the Guardian newspaper http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?13@73.jmPzaPcVplW^0@.461 -- Anonymous post by 195.92.67.67
  • Delete. Google only shows about 17 instances of this, all at www.blackchat.co.uk, and Wikipedia already has articles which contain criticisms of capitalism (or it should). Even if the world "requires a phrase to encapsulate it and facilitate discussion", it's not an encyclopedia's job to spread usage of a phrase just because it would help to facilitate discussion. Or at least, it's not Wikipedia's job to do such. -- Khym Chanur 07:18, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Del, & kudos to User:Khym Chanur for a concise & valuable explication of one more thing WP is not. --Jerzy(t) 02:40, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. --MPerel( talk | contrib) 07:50, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Reads like a bit of promotion for the next Michael Moore project.  :-) Although I happen to like Moore (and The Guardian, for that matter), I agree this has no real place on WP. Edeans 16:59, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, for above reasons. mark 19:06, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The myriad examples of suffering, deprivation, disaster, chaos, violence, death and destruction due to capitalism's pursuit of profits, savings and cost cutting does indeed need a brief phrase to describe and sum this all up, and Capitalist Money Madness does just that. mlh2390 There is no user mlh2390; this message was by anonymous user 195.92.67.66; this IP is very similar to the IP for the only other "Keep" vote

[edit] Capital Scholar

A specific, not-unique program at a specific university. I'd consider a redirect, but the name is lousy too. Cdc 00:27, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as campuscruft, but Merge content to main article if possible. Wyss 06:34, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

from VfD:

Looks like vanity. JoaoRicardo 21:47, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. 6,160 Google hits. It's not a lot, but it's significant. LockeShocke 21:54, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. In spite of the already-low Google results, Johnathan Bishop is a relatively common name. I don't think any of the results on the first page were the guy this article is talking about. - Vague | Rant 07:46, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. He might not be as well known as Hans Asperger or Simon Baron-Cohen but he's done alot to advance technology for people with Aspergers. WelshAspie 21:00, Jan 10, 2005 (GMT)
      • User's first edit. Asbestos | Talk 10:57, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • I've edited a few VfD pages - it seems to me that anyone who does something to help people with autism or Aspergers doesn't deserve to be on Wikipedia in the eyes of many Wikipedians WelshAspie 10:07, Jan 14, 2005 (GMT)
  • Delete; non-notable. Psychonaut 01:26, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable, passes Google Test. Megan1967 03:31, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn (it's a very common name btw). Wyss 06:33, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable (at least, this particular Jonathan Bishop is nn). --Deathphoenix 06:56, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Tentative delete - perhaps an article explaining his any notable features PARLE System would help to clear up his (apparent possible?) notability in the field. Samaritan 10:44, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) (then Samaritan 11:33, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC))
  • Delete. The PARLE system is non-notable (63 Google hits, many of which are about something else), the first article cited is found on Google Scholar but not cited by anyone (evidence of non-notability) and the other two can only be found on his website (noone else references them). Seems too nn for an article. His homepage, btw, is at [1] Asbestos | Talk 10:54, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Carrp 14:02, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Doesn't 'pass the google test' as he has a fairly common name, and only two of the top 30 hits for that name are his (and that probably as he owns the domain name). Doesn't pass the academic test either, as there is no evidence of a permanent position or a notable publication record (Google Scholar and ISI Web of Knowledge do not give any indication that any paper he has published has been cited to date, which indicates non-notability in that sphere). What you can find is 235 hits for 'Jonathan Bishop Glamorgan', including a press release. Which, having read, I now feel that the PARLE system may just about deserve an article if it continues to be developed, but that doesn't mean the researcher who led the initial study does (and since they gave it to an MSc student, it suggests it was a very initial study). So Delete. Average Earthman 17:19, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Jonathan Bishop" "Asperger's" gets 2 hits. "Jonathan Bishop" Asperger gets 4 hits, including THIS page but, surprisingly, not the main article page. RickK 00:06, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Borderline keep; despite only a tiny number of Google results for "Jonathan Bishop" education and "Jonathan Bishop" "e-learning", his PARLE invention has made it into The New Statesman, and may be significant enough. Stombs 05:14, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Did he actually invent it, or was he given it to work on as his masters project by a professor who came up with the idea? Average Earthman 21:33, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Considering that he was a grad student, I would think it was probably assigned to him. RickK 22:40, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
        • If it was assigned to him how come it doesn't have his professor's name on his peer-reviewed journal paper and how come all the media attention has gone to him and not his professor? WelshAspie 10:07, Jan 14, 2005 (GMT)
          • Considering Jonathan Bishop is Welsh, and works on Aspergers, I wonder if the name "WelshAspie" isn't a bit too much of a give-away for you to be refering to him in the third person. Asbestos | Talk 10:40, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
            • I don't particularly care who is listed as first author of apparently uncited papers. It doesn't suggest notability either way. Average Earthman 21:40, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keeplooks notable enough.--Silverback 03:07, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete --Christiaan 9:26, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Like Tom Watson and http://www.20six .co.uk/middletonpark Stuart Bruce he's well known in the Labour Party for his blog, which got shortlisted for the New Statesman New Media Awards in the same category as Tom Watson. Britain is Wikifying, don't let the Tories wreck it again --Politicool± 18:15, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Where is this blog, and why doesn't is show up in the Google search I did? Are you sure it's the same person? RickK 21:15, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
      • If you do a search for "Jonathan Bishop" blog you'll find lots of pages linking to his blog, which is here as well as on his Wikipedia entry if you look WelshAspie 22:37, Jan 15, 2005 (GMT)
        • That gives me 35 hits, which isn't impressive. My name (in quotes) and blog gives me 80 hits, which shows how inaccurate this sort of search is seeing as I don't have a blog. Average Earthman 14:35, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Could do with a little bit of expansion but worth keeping. Thryduulf 19:24, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Borderline delete, especially given suspicions of vanity. RadicalSubversiv E 01:05, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seph'd

A dicdef neologism. Gets 492 hits on Google, and Google searches for "Seph D", and not Seph'd. So I'd assume that upwards of 80% of those hits are not "seph'd", but "Seph D" of some kind. For a word that originated online, you'd expect it to have more online hits. PMC 00:50, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • ADDED INFO: Seph'd isn't technically an online word. It's a slang term used in as many as two forums. Plus, Google reports the originating site back as the first two hits when searching for it. --LiQuiDpLasMaFloW --comment by User:68.3.176.239, creator of the Seph'd article
    • "Google reports the originating site back..." Er...so? PMC 01:50, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Cdc 01:46, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Leave. Hmm... let's see here: now it's on Wikipedia, so MAYBE, just MAYBE more people will see it, and use it (at which point it DOES become encyclopedia material). Think about it, folks. --68.3.176.239 03:20, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: No MAYBEs about it, you're quite right, Wikipedia is an excellent place to promote neologisms such as this, and also to promote websites, unsigned bands, lots of things, so much so that if we allowed such promotions we'd have little time or bandwidth for anything else. Which is one reason we leave this to other sites, and explicitly ban it here. No change of vote. Andrewa 03:42, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar

Apparently this once removed article has been recreated. I proposed the deletion without knowing this, and don't how to proceed from here. Anyway, what was said below about the former article still aplies. JoaoRicardo 05:47, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete according to CSD: Reposted content that was deleted according to Wikipedia deletion policy, although I don't know exactly what the deleted content was, I assume this applies to articles as well. This article looks to be less of an ad than described in the previous VfD below, but the fact is, this is a non-notable bar. There are several "locally notable" bars that I went to in my old university days, and I don't see those mentioned here. --Deathphoenix 15:01, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Speedy deleted per CSD case 5. Content was word-for-word identical to the first paragraph of the previously deleted version. Comment: I suspect that it was recreated because whoever closed the discussion before forgot to check "what links here" and delete the link on Stalybridge. Rossami (talk) 22:47, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Ok, learned the lesson. Sorry for the mess. JoaoRicardo 03:10, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete

  • Delete, but I want a beer first. Antandrus 19:51, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Or, remove the peacock words, promotional language, and POV—and then move to Stalybridge Railway Station, because once you do that, what you are left with is a stub about the station:
Stalybridge Railway Station is located on the main line between Manchester and Huddersfield, about eight miles east of Manchester. It is close to the Peak District National Park. It is notable for having a CAMRA-recommended bar on Platform 1. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 20:29, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Being CAMRA-recommended just means they brew their own beer and don't pasteurize it. Non-notable pub. Gwalla | Talk 21:49, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Ah. Then if we remove that, too, the article becomes:
Stalybridge Railway Station is located on the main line between Manchester and Huddersfield, about eight miles east of Manchester. It is close to the Peak District National Park. It has a bar on Platform 1. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 22:24, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Probably best to remove the bit about the bar on platform 1 as well! -- Necrothesp 00:53, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Very good. Perhaps the article should be:

What is the relevance of a railway station? JoaoRicardo 01:23, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Note that there are more where that came from. Gazpacho 02:03, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs work, but part of an ongoing project and already listed for Wikification. No reason to delete, unless you want to reopen the debate on Paris and London railway stations too. Andrewa 04:00, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, let it grow. Wyss 06:19, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Lots of people are interested in railway stations. Delete these articles and they might leave and therefore never contribute to anything else. Philip 06:54, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Samaritan 10:16, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Plenty of articles on train stations around the world. Capitalistroadster 10:28, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Agree with Capitalistroadster. --JuntungWu 13:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The articles on various British railway stations are interesting and useful, this has the potiential to be as well. Thryduulf 13:24, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Inherently notable as both public infrastructure and a major Sydney transport hub.--Centauri 13:32, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Seems rather short, (and pointless wittering shouldn't be added just to make a short to the point article a long, flabby and annoying article) but if there isn't an appropriate article to merge this with, then it should be kept separate. Average Earthman 17:00, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • abstain I believe that someone is intending to have short articles about all airports and train stations, etc. with the intention that you could use wikilinks to see how to get from one place to another. (I became aware of this when I was observing some apparently useless articles about New York City subway stations). Morris 19:03, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • We keep railway stations, even when they are just a platform and a hut, but we delete schools. How merry a place this is!Dr Zen 00:44, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Actually, plenty of schools are kept if they are sensible articles, deserve/have more than one/two lines and can't be merged with the parent location. zoney talk 14:13, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
That would be all of them then. --Centauri 23:30, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Timetable info

According to the timetable effective from 4 Sept 2005, the only East Hills inbound trains stopping at Sydenham on weekdays are at 5am, 7.26, 7.41, 7.56 and 8.11am, and (except on Fridays) 11.59pm. To me this looks a lot like running in the morning peak only. JPD 11:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Taciturn

Is a dictionary entry, and Wiktionary already has an entry for this word. JoaoRicardo 06:21, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete an article already in the Wiktionary. I don't think the example is a good one either. --Deathphoenix 15:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Roadrunners

A band in New Jersey. Formed in 2001. No articles link here, but it is linked by VIP, a user talk page, and a user page. Google for "the roadrunners" is tainted by sports teams and such, so a reasonable search for "The Roadrunners" "Alex Smith" (Smith is the first band member mentioned in the article) was used, which returns 10 hits. A user identifying himself as a member of the band stated on the talk page that "no one outside of Haddonfield, New Jersey, a town of 2 miles square, has heard of The Roadrunners." Delete. - Vague | Rant 01:35, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails the google test miserably. Having existed since 2001, if this band was remotely notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia, they would have some kind of web presence; even if only from fans. →Reene 01:40, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable, fails Google Test. Megan1967 03:23, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, vanity ad. Wyss 06:17, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • No Vote In addition to these Roadrunners, there was a semi-famous band from Liverpool in the 1960s called the Roadrunners (geocities site-beware of the pop-ups) and another band named Jim Edgar and the Roadrunners that cut a 45 with Scepter records in the 1970s (Tennessee Stud/Wait A Little Longer). If anyone wants to write an article, the Liverpool band is probably the most notable of the three (despite the pop-ups).
  • Delete non-notable vanity. --Deathphoenix 15:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless article establishes notability. Tuf-Kat 23:56, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chupaqueso

This is an extremely long article about some trivia from a web comic. The comic gets around 200,000 Google hits. This term gets 67. DCEdwards1966 01:43, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, trivial, not notable. Megan1967 03:22, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, recipe. Wyss 06:15, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, recipes don't belong here, recipe itself isn't notable either. Mgm|(talk) 11:12, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable, obscure, recipe. --Deathphoenix 15:09, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Neutral, comment: I seem to recall a Wiki-cookbook. Could this article be moved there? -- Kizor 19:00, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete: Howard Taylor allowed this to be put in Wikipedia. See [4] for details. STrRedWolf 23:34, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • But that doesn't mean the Wikipedia agrees. -- Kizor 11:45, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete: The page should be pruned back (WAAAY back) to a simple definition, rather than an entire recipe, and the recipe posted elsewhere and linked to. The word has entered geek lexicon in a number of places, and a respectable number of people are actually EATING it, as evidenced by its appearance in their blogs [5] HowardTayler 23:34, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
