[edit] Noriko Takenouchi

While her sister may be notable, this is still a vanity page-- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 00:09, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Based on the somewhat-confusing article it links to, this seems to be a non-notable character from Digimon rather than a real person's vanity page. - Thatdog 00:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. Hamster Sandwich 01:34, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Not vanity unless the subject created it. These kinds of pages are useful for the original articles. --malathion talk 01:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • merge and redirect to Sora Takenouchi seems right Circeus 01:45, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Uh, is this a real person, or a cartoon? android79 02:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
    • If I understood the articles correctly, then apparently this is a real person, and Sora Takenouchi is both a cartoon and a real person (the voice actress for the cartoon). Thus, I vote delete, as this person is not notable. And the Nora Takenouchi article should be rewritten to make some distinction between fact and fiction. - ulayiti (talk) 03:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. if not vanity then becauust it's not notable. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 03:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Alright, if I'm understanding this correctly, this is the non-notable pizza parlor-working sister of a marginally notable voice actress, the sister also being personified in a cartoon. I'd say speedy it under CSD A7, if it hadn't been so damn hard to figure out what it was. Delete. android79 03:41, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This could probably be a speedy under the new rules, as being the sister of a kinda sorta famous person is not a legitimate assretion of notability. And even if the subject did not create it, that is certainly no reason to keep it. Nor is there anything to merge. -R. fiend 03:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I can't find evidence that Sora Takenouchi, the sister, is the name of a voice actress; per IMDb that's just the name of a fictional character on Digimon who is voiced by Yûko Mizutani in Japan and Colleen O'Shaughnessey in the USA. [1] Delete. --Metropolitan90 03:59, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
    • That seems to make sense. I thought it very odd that an animated character would be named for the actor providing the voice (or vice versa, which would be even more odd), but admittedly I know nothing about Digimon. Makes me think that the entire Sora Takenouchi article is full of BS. Perhaps it deserves an accuracy tag? -R. fiend 05:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Quale 05:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Fbergo 05:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Explicit claim to non-notability, and clearly vanity (yes, if you put up a page about your friend the pizza chef, that's still vanity) -Harmil 11:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Some chick. I'm glad she has friends who like her enough to put up pages to her, but such things (barely literate, tangled references to other falsities) are not the basis of factual articles. They are the basis of site hijacking. Geogre 14:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, notability is not genetic. And she was not "ever interested in voice-acting or becoming famous", just finishes it off, and probably means that the article asserts non-notability (!) so can be speedied. -Splash 18:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Notability of a "pizza parlour waitress" is not established. Martg76 21:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn vanity. --Etacar11 23:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless proof of notability is presented.-Poli (talk • contribs) 23:51, 2005 July 25 (UTC)
  • Comment: this clearly cannot be vanity if the article has been up for several weeks. Wouldn't this deletion tag have been put up sooner? DrippingInk 00:39, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • Vanity articles and other undesirables fall through the cracks all the time; that this one didn't is not a particularly compelling reason to keep it. android79 00:42, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
      • Very good point. Thus I vote Delete. DrippingInk 15:29, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If this article has been up for a while, then it can't be vanity. Plus, I've heard of Noriko Takenouchi. She ran off to Canada because she hated life in Japan. Very obvious. 64.231.72.209 00:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Very convincing. And that piece of information certainly makes her worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. :) - ulayiti (talk) 00:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 07:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - I believe I know the story behind this page. The person in question is most likely fictional - created by an online acquaintance in an attempt to convince me that this person is a friend of theirs, and leading to his posting several facts in the Sora Takenouchi section which have been dismissed as fiction. Therefore, Noriko Takenouchi's very existence is... questionable. Quack-Wabbit 14:48, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, really? Is this person on Wikipedia? 64.231.168.171 22:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
      • That's not particularly relevant. I'm not here to start a flame war, merely to provide elucidation. Quack-Wabbit 15:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep (no consensus). Dmcdevit·t 07:07, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Well... I was going to close it myself, but it's cool. Concur with vote results. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Authentic Matthew

The previous VFD on this article was effectively sabotaged multiple (in some cases self-admitted) sockpuppetry, and was closed as "inconclusive" - i.e. it was not possible for the closing admin to determine what the votes actually were (as opposed to "no consensus").

Due to the sockpuppetry etc. involved previously, if you have under 200 edits prior to the re-opening of this VFD (which was at 00:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)) your vote is likely to be discounted (particularly if you sign as another user, and make comments as if you were the other user rather than yourself).

  • The previous VFD, for anyone interested, is here.

[edit] Manner vote conducted

It is divided up by Keep, Delete, Merge and Comment. This is to make it easier to administer. Given the ridiculous situation we had last time, Ta bu shi da yu has imposed order on this vote!

Please keep comments short, and only place large extensive discussion/essays on the talk page. You can always link to the discussion from your comment. Any rebuttal should go in your comment(s) and be kept brief - if you wish to give more extensive reasoning, do so on the talk page or elsewhere and link to it. If you don't wish to vote, but wish to make a comment, please leave it in this section.

Ta bu shi da yu will administer the vote to deal with sockpuppetry etc. I will administer the vote. He will look at each accusation of sock-puppetry individually, and on their own merits.

Comment from TBSDY: I suggest that if new users want to have their vote count that they give a decently explained reason why it should be deleted/kept. - Ta bu shi da yu 04:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Comment from Garrett: I numbered the votes for easier counting, hope you don't mind. GarrettTalk 02:24, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Hmmm... I appreciate the gesture, but I'll be checking each vote one by one... not all votes will necessarily be counted (though they might possibly). We'll leave it numbered, but it might not reflect the final figure... - Ta bu shi da yu 10:09, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reason for VFD

This article is basically original research.

  • It relies on assuming that Jerome's statement about a "Gospel of the Hebrews" was accurate
  • It is an almost universal opinion amongst academics and non-academics that Jerome's statement was an (innocent) error caused by lack of information, and that the "Gospel of the Hebrews" that he refers to were in fact 3 seperate texts -
  • It contains an opinion of why people might have wanted the Gospel of Matthew to exist
  • It presents an extremely POV view of the origin of the Gospel of Matthew, which is totally inconsistent with either the conservative religious view of their origin, or the critical academic view involving
  • It bases all of this on a totally non-sequitur argument that as Eusebius said that "matthew wrote in hebrew letters", there is an entirely different gospel for the hebrews which is not dependant on Mark, and forms the basis of Matthew, and that this must therefore mean that the above 3 gospels (Hebrews/Nazarenes/Ebionites) are in fact 1 gospel not 3 despite the near unanimous opinion amongst academics and non academics to the contrary.
  • The origin of the Gospel of Matthew should be, and is already, discussed at Gospel of Matthew
  • None of the references actually support the argument of the text but instead either adhere to the standard critical academic view, or propose an entirely different argument altogether.
  • The article is even written as an essay/thesis, with introduction and conclusion.
  • The author of the article added detail to all articles relating to this area of the bible supporting the POV of the article. The only people setting up links to the article or even mentions of its thesis are 202.176.97.230 and the article's author themselves, and they may very well be one and the same.
  • The earlier version of the article had extensive duplication of source texts which are already on Wikisource - [2] - when this was removed, it was restored by editors with very few edits indeed.
  • The author of the article has gone to extensive lengths, including RFAR (failed), to preserve it, and there have been many sockpuppets (many of which were admitted to be so - [3]).
  • The article has been reviewed by an editor (not me) who has a doctorate (PhD) in the study of the New Testament, and been said to be unsalvagable original research by that editor.
  • Even the article's title is POV
[edit] Keep
  1. Keep content, but Move to appropriate title (this is a valid topic for an article independent of Gospel of Matthew. Any salvageable material will obviously have to be NPOV'd, and this time, I would like to strongly encourage both combatants and their armies of beady-eyed undergarments to work disputes out civilly on the talkpage. Tomer TALK 04:17, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  2. Keep. There's obviously some material that's not original research. Once the frenzied atmosphere of the VfD is over, the article should be cleaned up and probably retitled. JamesMLane 01:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  3. Keep the unoriginal research.  ;-) —RaD Man (talk) 05:08, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  4. Keep. No case has been made for the "original research" claim; this VfD seems to me to have more to do with -Ril-'s feud with the writers of the article than anything else. The article certainly needs considerable work, but that's not the issue here. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    That is simply not true. I have absolutely no feud with the article's creator outside the article. Indeed, I HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CREATOR OF THE ARTICLE IN ANYTHING EXCEPT CONCERNING THE EXISTANCE OF THE ARTICLE. ~~~~ 09:11, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  5. Keep and cleanup. Potential for a valid article. Contains some original research, but that can be excised. -- Visviva 09:08, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  6. Keep. It needs to be cleaned up, but there is potential and it doesn't seem to meet the standard of original research Salsb 16:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  7. Keep. The version I read Friday was a clear object for deletion, but the original research that was there has been removed, & although I'd prefer this article to have a different title ("Authentic Matthew" strongly suggests a specific POV to me), the version I read today seems to be a reasonably objective & nonpartisan discussion of the issues. -- llywrch 22:03, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  8. Keep- though controversial, the topic seems to be legit. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  9. Keep, as I voted on the previous VFD. Well writte article on a notable subject. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 00:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  10. Keep - Needs a cleanup but an interesting article that is noteworthy. hansamurai 飯侍 (burp) 00:35, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  11. Strong Keep This vfd is nonsense. freestylefrappe 02:40, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  12. Keep Very good--April12 11:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

  1. Delete in the strongest possible way ~~~~ 00:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  2. Delete. Original research, NPOV. Fernando Rizo T/C 00:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  3. Delete based on most but not all of the preceeding arguements. Hamster Sandwich 01:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  4. Delete I don't see anything substantial in this article which does not already appear in Gospel of Matthew. Disucssion of the various theories is fairly complete there. -Harmil 02:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  5. stone with stones; this depends entirely on Jerome being right about their being a single writing. However a mention of this possibility (possibility, mind) in a parent article would probably be good too. Also I'd say the bible scholar's "damnation" of it carries a lot of weight. Oh and a heap of brownie points go to Ta bu shi da yu for bravely overseeing all these contentious Vfds of late. Good to know the result will be guaranteed "barefoot". :) GarrettTalk 03:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  6. VORPED (Vanity - Original Research - Personal Essay - Delete!) Stirling Newberry 06:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  7. Delete as original research. --Carnildo 07:13, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  8. Delete, I don't believe that anything in this piece warrants an article separate from the main gospel of Matthew entry jamesgibbon 10:35, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  9. Delete: The amount of tinfoil hattery around the early Gospels is extreme. This article ignores everything from Higher Criticism on to weave together a wishlist view, arguably to support a further POV (not in the article but which the article will be used to support) for one heretical view or another. Honestly, these schemes and arguments are thick as flies in history. There can be no merge, as that requires equally merging in all other variant readings of the origins of the Gospel and non-Q sources, and we would indeed run out of not-paper doing so. There is no keep, because there is no support for this view that makes it representative enough to need explication, and it obviously isn't just "true" or "accepted as true" by the wider community. Geogre 14:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  10. Delete, for reasons given. While I wouldn't necessarily oppose the verifiable elements being included into Matthew, ascertaining what those elements are would likely be an enormous headache, and not worth the trouble. I'm sure it would take multiple RfCs. I love the title though. Maybe we can get a page on Amazing Larry and Erudite Steve. -R. fiend 17:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  11. Delete. Seems to be hopelessly POV. -Aranel ("Sarah") 18:09, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  12. Extremely strong delete – I have researched and taught New Testament, and I’ve never even heard of ‘Authentic Matthew’. This article takes all sorts of (disputed) asides from the Church Fathers, adds them to several unrelated scholarly theories about synoptic origins – to produce what is a piece of (bad) original research. It is about as factual as the Da Vinci Code! Any (notable} proto-Matthean theories should be discussed under Gospel of Matthew or Synoptic problem. Links to this drivel have been inserted into other Biblical studies articles. --Doc (?) 21:48, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  13. Delete POV-pushing original research. If there's anything encyclopedic here, it could go in Gospel of Matthew, but not in this POV fork. CDC (talk) 23:12, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  14. Delete as per Harmil and nominator. …Markaci 2005-07-25 T 23:15:28 Z
  15. Delete original research/essay. JamesBurns 06:47, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  16. Delete per above.  Grue  08:27, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  17. DELETE. The argument that it is cited does not justify its validity, as even original research must be cited for publication. There is no such term as Authentic Matthew (see my Google search on previous VFD) as verified by Doc above, so it should at least be moved, if worthy of that, or merged, as already attended to. Davilla 10:17, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  18. Delete - changed my vote because everything useful was already merged. Renata3 16:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  19. Delete - POV original research. carmeld1 23:41, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  20. Delete - POV/original research/all usable material already merged/name inherently violates NPOV policy -- and how can you have a recount without telling those who voted originally that they have to revote, I'm lucky I saw this. DreamGuy 05:39, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
  21. Delete - While an article with a different title and wholly different content could be written on this subject, it would far better to start from scratch. - SimonP 21:37, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
  1. Merge what is verifiable with Gospel of Matthew.Capitalistroadster 04:24, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  2. Merge whatever pertinent information that isn't covered under Gospel of Matthew, then Delete for most of the reasons listed above (except for the last three). khaosworks 02:55, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  3. Merge anything salvageable with Matthew the Evangelist (more appropriate IMHO than Gospel of Matthew). --Angr/t?k t? mi 06:18, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  4. Merge - put some reference of "alternative theories" on the Gospel of Mathews page. Renata3 17:59, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  5. Looks to have some verifiable and useful information despite its poor presentation. Merge with Gospel of Matthew or other relevant pages, then redirect. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:13, 2005 July 26 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
Please add your comments here, if they are not direct responses to votes. Please also make it short. - Ta bu shi da yu 04:00, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

If I were allowed to vote, I would vote keep because, if the Gospel is true, then who wrote it is a separate issue from its existence, and if it is not true, then no amount of writing about it will ever make it true. To paraphrase Arthur C Clarke: when an eminent [bible scholar] says something is impossible, it probably isn't. Respectfully, Simon Cursitor 12:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Simon, the argument here is not whether this theory is correct, or even possible. It is whether this is a position being argued by any notable scholar, in a way that WP can record. It is not (although individual bits of it may be) - and thus it is original research. Even if the thesis was factually correct - it still would have no place here. --Doc (?) 21:54, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: to whichever admin closes this VfD — -Ril- (talk • contribs) took control of the previous VfD, deleting and moving to the Talk page comments opposed to his position, while leaving in comments supporting him, including many of his own (including personal attacks and unsubstantiated guesses at sockpuppetry presented as dogmatic claims). He made a real mess. This VfD contains FALSE information. Please check the record of the previous VfD.--Mikefar 15:54, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

    • Above user has 56 prior edits, only 11 edits not connected to preserving this article, admits to using many sockpuppets - [4] - and claims to be the original writer of the article - [5] - i.e. Melissadolbeer - [6]~~~~ 08:17, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

As the original writer of this article, I specifically deny all the allegations.

  • Jerome, a published scholar who did the original research on Authentic Matthew wrote,
Matthew, also called Levi, who used to be a tax collector and later an apostle, composed the Gospel of Christ, which was first published in Judea in Hebrew script for the sake of those of the circumcision who believed. This Gospel was afterwards translated into Greek (and the Greek has been lost) though by what author uncertain. The Hebrew original has been preserved to this present day in the library of Caesarea, which Pamphilus diligently gathered. I have also had the opportunity of having this volume transcribed for me by the Nazarenes of Beroea, Syria, who use it. (On Illustrious Men 3)

and

In the Gospel which the Nazarenes and the Ebionites use which we have recently translated from Hebrew to Greek, and which most people call The Authentic Gospel of Matthew

  • If you thought this should be merged and/or redirected, why did you nominate it for deletion? Putting a merge tag on it is enough, or you could have been bold and merged it yourself. This is the fourth time today where I had to ask, what's this doing on VfD? Honestly, when I first came here, I thought the articles on VfD made Wikipedia look bad.

[edit] Knight Errants and Knights Errant

A comparison of Knights Errant to the really important topics in Wikipedia:

Wikipedia topic: "Jester Dormitory"

Google hits: 252 using "Jester Dormitory"

Summary: An article about a dormitory on the University of Texas Austin campus.

Notable comments: Among students, it is said that Jester East is the cleaner of the two towers as well as characteristically the 'sports' dorm, housing many of the UT athletes.

Wow. Better delete the Knights Errant because we have to make room for the really important stuff like Jester Dormitory. . . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.16.15.120 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 27 July 2005 (UTC).

Thanks for the suggestion, someone has nominated that for deletion too (though I personally voted to merge some of it with the University article). Any other similar articles you can point out will be appreciated (by me at least). I'm sure there are plenty. This, however, is irrelevent to the plight of "Knights Errant". -R. fiend 20:08, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Oh, and 252 is still more google hits than this group seems to get (see below). -R. fiend 20:09, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Google hits

"Knights Errant blog" gets almost 5000 hits on Google. Before dismissing Knights Errant, the Wiki folks should know the entire association of the bloggers is due to the buzz created in the chess world for the de la Maza approach to chess improvement. -Jadoube --72.16.15.120 22:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Just to be clear here, "knights errant blog" gets 0 hits on goggle when you use the quotes. without the quotes it gets close to 5000, but by no means are most of those associated with your little group. More accurate is a search for "knights errant" blog chess, which gets us down to less than 200. -R. fiend 14:28, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable chess club/blog/journal/website/llama. Also see Talk:Knight Errants, they seem to be using us as some sort of promo ad. Recommend redirecting to Knight-errant. GarrettTalk 01:54, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Non notable chess club. I do not recommend a re-direct as per Master Thief Garret as the subject Knight-errant has nothing to do with the subject of chess, blogs or llamas.(excepting the title credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail) Hamster Sandwich 02:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • I meant a redirect since it's a valid alt spelling of Knight-errant. A user could search for that wording and thus still find the article. But deletion and recreation as a redirect would also work. GarrettTalk 02:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable according to Google, and this page has the wrong caps to redirect to Knight-errant. -Harmil 02:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah! Good point, that. Yes indeed. :) GarrettTalk 02:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Knight-errant - it's a valid alt spelling (despite the caps), and there's nothing to be lost by redirecting. - ulayiti (talk) 03:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • While I believe this may be an easy misconception of a legit spelling, I believe it is still wrong (even discounting the caps). The plural of knight errant should be knights errant. Nevertheless, a redirect (no merge) is fine with me, as it's a minor error that could be made. Would hopefully discourage recreation too. -R. fiend 03:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • The title should be changed to Knights Errant. Jadoube —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.16.15.120 (talk • contribs) 06:53, 25 July 2005 (UTC).

  • Delete and recreate: Wikipedia is not a school noticeboard nor Everything2. A local club is not encyclopedic content unless it alters the world in such a dramatic way that the world talks about it (that's the world, not the people in the club). The concept of the knight-errant itself is a bit of a mess, but that's another matter. Geogre 14:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • With all due respect to Geogre, the Knights Errant is not a local club but a worldwide phenomenon in the chess blogosphere -- with bloggers from the US, The Netherlands, Australia, India, Romania, Belgium, etc. They have all come together around a "revolutionary" approach to chess improvement.

  • A few comments:

1. Someone above said the Knights are "using us as some sort of promo ad". I have no idea where they got this idea from. We are not promoting anything. The Knights Errant are a friendly group of bloggers who are all trying to get better in chess by following a certain chess training program (mentioned in the entry). Look at the blogs in my sidebar (http://chessconfessions.blogspot.com): we are a bunch of schlumps trying to get better at chess. Nothing more.

2. As for how "important" we are as a group in the blogosphere, this is the key point. Ask anybody in the chess blogosphere about the "Knights Errant" and they will know who we are. The question is whether anything from the chess blogosphere is worthy of inclusion. This is a fair question. I would propose it is at least as important as, oh say, the East Branch Pecatonica River in Wisconsin. Let the Knights Errant entry stay up for a while and then see how many more hits they get than the more obscure entries.

3. When I started learning chess, and was trying the Knight's chess improvement program (without actually knowing about them), it would have been great for me if this had come up at Wikipedia. I searched the web for terms that would have come up, but they didn't come up in Google back then. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.16.225.228 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 25 July 2005 (UTC).

  • I fully support keeping the two entries. I view their entries not as advertisements or promotion, but as a bit of information that interested parties may not find elsewhere on the internet without a difficult search. I too wish that this had been here, as it would have made my start as a blogger easier.

If an item is referred to only by its own participants, then it is jargon or argot or slang or cruft.

Hence, fanfiction, fanmaps, etc. are not appropriate encyclopedic fare unless some context other than fans (e.g. getting on the 6 o'clock news for being scary), it is inappropriate content. On the other hand, there are specialist-oriented sites on the Internet that thrive on such material. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, however. Geogre 15:11, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Military Brats

Unremarkable and unverifiable list. Recommend delete. Peter Grey 04:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Title is slang. List is going to be either, a) unmaintainable and a violation of WP:NOT Indiscriminate Info due to the fact that its criteria for inclusion are "Everyone who had a parent in the armed forces", or b) requiring an arbitrary notability cut-off for inclusion, which is bordering on original research. Add to that the fact that this information, while pertinent in any person's biography, forms a list that has no benefit or usefulness and that stand-alone lists should be discouraged at all costs, and there's no reason to keep this list in a merged or categorized format.

[edit] Riding the short bus

What's worse than a garage-band that hasn't "made it" yet? A a garage-band that hasn't even started up yet. Vain, vain, vain. GarrettTalk 04:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Oh dear. Perhpas we may stretch the speedy A7 criteria? This is a group of people with no claim to notability, so it really isn't too different different from a person with no such claim, is it? Usually I'm opposed to speedy criteria for bands, as merely being in a band is some sort of assertion of notability, but this goes out of their way to make it perfectly clear that there is absolutely nothing notable about them. Delete, preferably speedily. -R. fiend 05:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • There was a proposal to add a speedy criterion for bands that didn't meet at least one of the WP:MUSIC criteria. It got about 68% yes votes and was held not to have achieved consensus. Therefore, A7 doenst' apply, I'm sad to say. DES 06:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Speedy criteria should NOT be stretched. Looking at the debate around the latest proposal, people have very strong feelings about this and many, if not most, expect the rules voted on to be followed strictly. Bear in mind that the margin by which A7 passed was not very large. A7 explicitly talks about articles about "a real person" and can thus not be used for articles on bands, books, intersections, fan fiction characters, high school debating clubs, user-created computer game maps, or pieces of furniture at the Hogwarts school of magic. Which might be unfortunate, but that's the way it is. But do join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-C that tries to find a wording for a new proposal for extreme band vanity. Oh, and delete this. / Alarm 18:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bernie Hayes singer/songwriter Wednesdays sometimes sundays

The article name is not particularly useful. Perhaps rename/move to "Bernie Hayes"? --Alan Au 05:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • What is the deal with that title? Well, the same user just posted basically the same thing at Bernie hayes, so this one can certianly be deleted. Allmusic gave me a Bernie Hayes as a member of a band called Club Hoy (from Sydeny, so its probably the same guy). No vote on the other article yet. -R. fiend 05:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Bernie Hayes is an Australian musician. In my view, he qualifies under WP:MUSIC having made two albums as a singer/songwriter in his own name as well as his membership of Club Hoy. He also wrote the song "You Made Me Hard" which was the third single from The Whitlams double-platinum Love This City - Hayes brother Anthony aka Stevie Plunder was one of the Whitlams founding members. This article is surplus so it can be deleted. I vote to keep the album but it should be moved. I have rewritten Bernie Hayes establishing notability under WP:MUSIC. He has recorded a couple ofsolo albums was a member of Club Hoy who had some success in the early 1990s and wrote "You Made Me Hard" which was a single from The Whitlams double platinum in Australia Love This City album. The Bernie Hayes singer/songwriter album is superfluous so delete. His solo album from 1999 was Every Tuesday Sometimes Sunday so the album title is wrong so it should be deleted. Delete them both.

I'm not sure what the current policy for "school" articles is, but this one certainly doesn't establish notability in its present form. --Alan Au 05:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • The policy is not to nominate school's to VfD, since they will be kept. On principal I vote Keep. Klonimus 06:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, there's no policy. There is a policy proposal that attempts a compromise and suggests merging rather than VfD'ing, especially since (real) high school articles are almost never deleted. See WP:SCH for the debate and guidelines. This article though, in its curent form, has basically no no content (4 words!) and so is basically speediable. I'll just wait for someone to expand it, since that's what usually happens when schools come here. --Dmcdevit·t 07:53, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of World of Warcraft Mods

No real content besides external links, and an unmaintainable and inherently unencyclopedic list if it did have content. Judging by the talk page the original editor seems to have lost the energy.

[edit] Sheep Tag

702 Googles, non-notable fanmade custom map/gametype. Sounds very fascinating, but not very encyclopedic. GarrettTalk 05:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • keep The point of an encyclopedia is not to hold to some paragon of encyclopedianess, or even worthiness, but to explain concepts. Someday some poor websurfer is going to wonder what someone means when they say I used to play a lot of sheep tag, shouldn't wikipedia be there, once all the Warcrafft III forums have closed down? Yasth

  • Delete. Incidentally, is there really a little plastic thingy attached to sheep ears called a "sheep tag"? I've only ever seen sheep at the state fair and at petting zoos. Oh, and cooked, as in gyro or leg of lamb, and worn, as in wool. I'm getting pretty close to violating WP:POINT at the moment, so I'll make a comparison: articles about custom maps and gametypes for video games have about as much worthiness for an article as a rambling essay about my experiences with sheep. Which is to say, none at all. The Literate Engineer 06:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Otherwise, delete. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC) There are already several Changs at Zhang (surname), so I'm changing my vote to redirect to Zhang (surname). --Angr/tɔk tə mi 12:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Zhang (surname) (no mergeable content). Add as many disambiguation links as you want to Chang (I think creating sub-disambiguation pages is silly). Surnames are encyclopedic in their own right, if there is something to say about them beyond etymology and frequency (as there certainly is in the case of common East Asian names such as this one). We've had this discussion before.-- Visviva 08:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep unless there is evidence that all the Changs are having their surnames pronounced as Zhang according to the languages they speak. As far as I know some Korean people named Chang are having their surname pronounced as Jang in the Korean language. — Instantnood 12:19, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Zhang (surname), nothing to merge. JamesBurns 07:54, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. 常 is a Chinese surname spelled Chang in pinyin and Ch'ang in Wades-Giles. Redirecting to Zhang would be inaccurate. Chang and Zhang are not always the same. --Yuje 21:34, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: You reminded me about 常. I have modified the article accordingly. :-) — Instantnood 21:37, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Anyone voting to redirect is rather monolingually rude. Redirecting a chinese surname to a different one is as rather appropriate as redirecting Smith to Jones. SchmuckyTheCat 06:14, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • OK, keep and sort out (although redirecting would have been OK, since it can easily be undone). I didn't really want to get into this here, but the situation is even more complicated. There are also 4 Korean surnames spelled "Chang"/"Jang," of which only the most common is the one covered in Zhang (surname)... two more Korean surnames are spelled "Chang/Ch'ang." See List of Korean family names. I'm not volunteering for this detail, but clearly there is plenty of sorting out to be done here. -- Visviva 12:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Was marked as a speedy but for vanity, so IMO not a candidate. I see you can speedy pages that don't assert notability, but I think the phrase "fuckin legend" is an assertion of notability.

  • Speedy Under WP:CSD A7. DES 07:33, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Done. If that's an assertion of notability, than there is no point to the policy. IMHO, an assertion of notability is not just "CanadianCaesar is notable," but "CanadianCaesar is notable because he has won six national amateur checkers tournaments in a row!" (ie, without a reason, there is no assertion). Then it's up to VfD to decide if the assertion holds up. Here there was nothing to judge, so no assertion made. --Dmcdevit·t 07:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shane and Wayne Mitchell

The article starts: Twins P. Shane and D. Wayne Mitchell are the leading figures in youth theatre education in the state of Alaska. This is a PoV. PoV can of course be neutralized, but here the linking of the two people seems intrinsic to an article having this title. How are they claimed to be leading? Primarily in TBA Theatre (Anchorage). But in TBA's own staff intro page (temporarily unavailable; I got it through Google's cache), they're named as two of four directors. What else is there about Shane or Wayne? Very little that Google can find me. The article is unverifiable as a whole, and in particular unverifiably implying an article-worthy linking of the two Mitchells. -- Hoary 07:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Marty Mcfly (band)

Marty Mcfly is quickly gaining popularity as a unique thrash band local to Fargo North Dakota. Formed in January 2005, the band is known for their energetic live show, quirky between song banter by lead singer Matt Gatzke, and their aligator microphone. Google offers a total of zero hits for the combination of band name and vocalist name. Unverifiable. Perhaps we'd better wait till the band has gained popularity, and has issued an album, etc. -- Hoary 08:22, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Blatant vanity. I'm not comfortable speedying this though, as it does make an assertion of notability (having won the 2005 "Miss Sexy Australia").

[edit] Kill -9 -1

Keyboard shortcut? Console command? I'm not familiar with tricks for this OS, but either way we're not a user manual for it. GarrettTalk 10:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Yeah, WP:NOT per Garrett (not to mention, it's a really bad idea to use "kill -9" under Unix or Unix-like systems (e.g. Linux)). -Harmil 11:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Aside from the fact that the one sentence in the article is untrue (what flavour of init is being used and whether one is the superuser are two important factors), this is an exceedingly poor title for an article. (It's the kill command with two arguments.) The title isn't even necessarily itself correct, as 9 is not necessarily the number of the SIGKILL signal. Nothing to merge anywhere, and a title that is inherently misleading. At best, this is Redirect to kill (Unix) simply to prevent an article like this growing again. Uncle G 12:23:37, 2005-07-25 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete both. There have been a number of "keep" votes from anonymous users and entirely new users. Such votes are not always discounted, but due to the sheer number of them, I think that almost all of those votes come from the same person (for instance I cannot assume that it's a coincidence that at least three of the anonymous votes are from Jacksonville, Florida?) All those votes have therefore been discounted as possible votes from sockpuppets. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:27, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Not a speedy. He has a claim to notability (important position in three Florida political organizations, endorsements from U.S. congress people), but I would argue that he falls short of the bar. Google hits are quite low, and a more open-ended search makes it clear that he's not even one of the better-knonw "Brian Grahams" out there. -Hermil 11:44, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep This is part of article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Republicans why in the world would you delete it and make the article incomplete?
  • Speedy keep It would be unfair to delete based on the Google search. This is clearly a common name. He is also found as Brian H. Graham and Brian Houston Graham. He is a national political figure with the Young Republicans and Fix Our Future. His father is a prominent Republican Party leader. He's the finance chairman for multiple political organizations. He's been endorsed by US Senators, Congressmen, candidates for Governor and he's only 21 years old. That sounds like he's worthy to me. Blueyez941 06:05, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • User has four previous edits, three on this page.
  • Delete. The articles do assert notability, but I assert otherwise. Being an officer in various political organizations does not make someone notable. Aspiring politicians and minor political organizations are a dime a dozen. The Young Republicans are well-known, but does that make their assistant treasurer notable? Not quite.

  • Delete. Not only because non-notable but because BHG and his supporters (or sock puppets) have shown themselves by their behaviour unworthy of being in Wikipedia. JasonRecore vandalised this VfD page thus. An anon vandalised it thus. Zebolany (who, strangely, has not voted here) removed the VfD notice from one of the articles and then, when I re-instated the VfD tag, Zebolany vandalised several pages that I have created. And they could not even manage to link properly to Young Republicans - which might have helped. (Incidentally, did you know that "Brian … has raised over ,000 in less than one year for the Florida Federation of Young Republicans". [13]) -- RHaworth 03:52:35, 2005-07-28 (UTC)

It is my number one source of free information. It seems as if this has become too personal on both sides. I have added some of the information I have found on the web. Clearly when a 21 year old man is publisher of a major newspaper, he is worthy of an article. He's been endorsed by every major political figure in the South and has been recognized by numerous organizations for his ability to raise large sums of money. I am nearly 3 times the age of this young man, and I have not accomplished half what he has. 68.218.158.180 21:29, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep If Graham is vote off then there are hundreds of other people that need to go too. There are many barely notable people on Wikipedia. In fact, that is one of the reasons Wikipedia is so popular. If we take that away then this site will be seriously lacking. 68.218.133.3 03:00, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I am a staunch supporter of the apathy party - I do not actually give a [expletive deleted] about BHG.

  • Speedy Delete This article gives a bad impression of Wikipedia overall, as it is highly biased. I personally believe that the article must be deleted and all links to the IMDb from movie articles on Wikipedia should be removed, and clearly i am not the only one which holds this view. a vote by 84.65.124.160, the same person who nominated the page in the first place - --Stevefarrell 18:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Dead link, nn advertising. humblefool® 15:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete ad; but not necessarily nn. It's technically notable for automating acceptance tests in a format accessible to non-programmers (Ward Cunningham's FIT framework), and then organizing those tests in a Wiki format (Fitnesse), and it's generating interest by being featured in the "Apprentice" series of articles in Software Development. I'd suggest adding a reference as an external link to the extreme programming page, similar to JUnit and NUnit links elsewhere. (new user) Leifbennett 21:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It's open source software, so it's tough to call it an ad. Fitnesse is a word in the agile development community. If you don't want it on the wikipedia, that's your choice, but it's something that the software community needs to know about.
  • Above vote by 67.185.81.16
  • This is why we have VfD: I'd vote to keep if someone who knows this can rewrite it so that the article has more than mild-advertising in it. -Splash 01:48, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a brilliant framework and has really started changing the way developers, testers, and customers think about project development and requirement gathering. A terrific addition to the Agile community.
  • Keep This is a very important tool for agil software development. Thus it should not be deleted!
  • Keep FitNesse is one of the best frameworks for customer tests and is wildly admired within the agile developement community.
  • Keep FitNesse is a really interesting concept for testing software and I can not see how this article is an ad. If you think this is an ad, why keep articles about Linux or even Microsoft (with a trademarked logo and a "mission statement", which sounds like sth. from Scientology BTW)?

*Expand, merge or delete as it doesn't say much now and all these anonymous votes for keep suggest a bit of self promotion is going on... however I now vote keep following recent edits. Garglebutt 13:59, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep I use FitNesse (built on Ward Cunningham's Fit testing library) to help test an application. I think the entry should be kept (as should entries on Java, Perl, JUnit, etc.).

[edit] List of English words containing a Q not followed by a U

This is not an encyclopedic article. It might, possibly, be transwikiied to Wiktionary, and I previously added a tag for that, but it was removed by the author. Uppland 19:30, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • keep: Wow, what an interesting battle going on here! As a studier of Chinese, I am particularly interested how Chinese has merged into other languages...the three most common being Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese. The names of these countries in their repective languages all come from the Chinese...does that mean that they are not real Vietnamese, Korean, or Japanese words? Of course, the assimilation of Chinese into English is a bit different, being that we deal with romanization. Therefore, the word meaning "energy" that is described in the list would at one time have been known as Ch'i, or Chi, has become Qi in the official Pinyin system. This word is becoming more common in English usage as more and more people become interested in Asian culture. Other good examples are Qin and Qing, the names of two Chinese dynasties. Perhaps, though, these problems could be solved by naming the article instead, "List of Words in English containing a Q not followed by a U". The current title does lead the reader to believe that the words listed will be of English etymological origin.Iluvchineselit 18:23, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
I don't think renaming would be a bad idea, but I'm not convinced it's strictly necessary either. Nevertheless, there is hardly such a thing as English etymological origin. Almost every word in English ultimately originates from another language, so it's just a question of how recently they migrated. Still, the article has benefitted greatly just from being on VfD, and a lot more people have read it than otherwise would have done, so really it's all good. Agentsoo 18:33, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Scrabbletionary. Joking, just delete as an unencyclopedic list. Sasquatch′↔T↔C 19:39, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • delete: Unremarkable list. "qwerty" is the only one that's not a loan-word (and "tranq", but that's slang). Peter Grey 19:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Since these words aren't really related at all, except for their spelling, I don't think there's really a point in putting it is Wiktionary either. Just delete. --Dmcdevit·t 20:04, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • I am the author so obviously I will vote keep but let's discuss this reasonably. I think this is more than a dictionary entry, because it attempts to explain how we end up with such words in English when most people believe they do not exist. Admittedly this bit needs expansion but that's exactly what I'm working on at the moment. After Uppland added the transwiki tag, I posted my reasons for keeping it on Wikipedia to the Talk page. Ten days later, neither he nor anyone else had replied, so I assumed that everyone was satisified with my reasoning - apologies if that was not the case, and I'm quite happy to have the transwiki debate again. To address some of the above concerns: they are mostly loan words, but are considered naturalised according to at least one major dictionary (Collins). As a list of words, it is no worse then any of the other articles in the 'Lists of English words' category. As I say, I'm sorry if I caused any confusion by removing the transwiki tag, but this article really doesn't deserve to be deleted. Agentsoo 20:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • You may not have noticed, but Category:lists of words, which is Category:Lists of English words's parent has a "move to wiktionary" tag on it. While we can't and wouldn't just transwiki whole category and its contents, the symbolic meaning is that there has been a judgment that whole lot of them don't belong here. Maybe I should list some today. --Dmcdevit·t 20:24, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry for missing your talkpage comment. I just feel that the connection between these words is trivial, basically just the result of certain conventions for transcribing from various other languages. It might be worth mentioning somewhere (in the article on English spelling or in a general article on loanwords in English, which might exist somewhere under some title) that there are words in English with a Q not followed by a U, that this is a result of borrowing, and proceed to give an example or two from each language with an explanation of why this or that particular phoneme has been represented by a Q in English. I just don't see the need for a comprehensive list. Uppland 20:28, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
      • Whether a particular list of words are connected in a trivial or non-trivial way is totally a matter of opinion, so if you disagree on that then fair enough. I hadn't noticed that the parent cat is up for transwikiing; thanks for the info. If a judgement has been made that these articles belong on Wiktionary then by all means move them, but I don't think deletion is the answer, and would be disappointed as I have put quite a bit of time into this article. Agentsoo 20:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • What's wrong with this list? I found it very interesting, so i want to keep it. I think one of the better features of Wiki is disproving commonly belived facts, which this list does. Jono 20:26, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The title is a misnomer. At first, I would have said keep. But upon reading, I say delete. Thorns Among Our Leaves 20:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't understand what is misleading about the title, but I'd be more than willing to listen to suggested improvements - please elaborate. Either way, it doesn't seem right to delete an article purely because it has the wrong title. Agentsoo 21:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
      • The words aren't english, persay, just romanized. Delete. humblefool® 21:03, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
        • They are naturalised in English, at least according to the Collins dictionary. In that sense they are as English as any other word lifted directly from other languages, i.e. the vast majority of English words. Being more recent naturalisations may make them not 'true' English words in your eyes, but the dictionary has to be the authority here. Agentsoo 21:23, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
          • Rule of thumb: If the only reference you need is a dictionary, then its not an encyclopedia article, since Wikipedia is Not a Dictionary. --Dmcdevit·t 21:34, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
            • The dictionary is not the only reference required; the opening paragraphs are clearly encyclopaedic. Nevertheless I don't object to moving the page to Wiktionary, at least in preference to deleting it altogether. Agentsoo 21:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
              • per se, as those Romans would write if they were late enough to use lowercase, rather than "persay". Sorry to be a spelling nitpicker, but it's a VfD on an article about 'spelling'. Barno 23:48, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Mainly because the vast majority of these are loan words. There is much scope for differences in spelling anyway because the Q is only used to approximate a particular letter sound in other languages. In the New Oxford English Dictionary at least, they are nearly all listed differently anyway, without a lone Q (some with K, QU, CH, etc). I also agree that "tranq" should be removed from the list whatever happens because it is just a shortening (the OED spells it "trank" anyway). However, it is an interesting article, hence the "weak" and I might yet change my vote because it would be relatively "harmless" to keep. Bobbis 21:12, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
    • My criterion was for them to appear in at least one major dictionary. The NODE is considerably shorter (fewer than half as many words) and less permissive than Collins, so I suppose it is not that surprising that the alternative spellings are not specified in it. Regarding Tranq, it is a shortened form, but it is not an abbreviation; it is written without a dot, just like 'vet' which I think most people would agree is a word in its own right. Glad you found the page interesting though, and I hope I can resolve your issues with it. Agentsoo 21:23, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Interesting list. Doesn't belong in a dictionary. CalJW 21:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

There are, however, many more hits on Yahoo! search. Over 1000 hits from Yahoo!, which is the limit that Yahoo! returns. Therefore, I vote Keep. John Barleycorn 04:58, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gus Roberts

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason given was "patent nonsense", but it doesn't fit the definition; it's perfectly understandable, but seems to be a bad hoax. — Gwalla | Talk 22:23, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete if it isn't patent nonsense, it's very close. Surely an article in which every single word is untrue counts as vandalism anyway. And if Gus Roberts is a real person, making him sound like some sort of crazy James Bond villian makes this an attack page. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:34, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete bordering on patent nonsense, if it isn't that then it's a hoax article, and if it isn't even that then it would at least fall under original research. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 22:40, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: WP:CSD clearly states that the patent nonsense criterion is "text completely meaningless or unsalvageably incoherent (e.g. random characters)", which I interpret as meaning of the "fhghgfh" or "atomic radar is good yumyum" variety. This, however, is coherent and has meaning; the meaning just happens to be 100% fictional. — Gwalla | Talk 22:43, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
You're absolutely right, but sometimes when something is (by Wikipedia terminology) a hoax (ie. complete fiction), in everyday language we'd habitually call it nonsense, which causes confusion sometimes. --TheMidnighters 00:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Fer fuck's sake someone speedy this thing already. Obvious vandalism. I'd love to see someone embarass themselves by bringing it to VfU. -R. fiend 02:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I originally nominated it for Speedy using the definition of nonsense: Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make head nor tail of it. I suppose a slow delete works too... just, er, slower. --Alan Au 04:09, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
    • This is an underused definition of patent nonsense; a lot of the time it is cited as having to be specifically unintelligible when the criterion is slightly broader than that. However, few are the articles which it iss impossible to make "head [n]or tail of" which are not also unintelligible; it also unclear, to me at least, how we are to interpret the vernacular phrasing. I wonder if this kind of article would be a good test-case: delete it right now on those grounds, deliberately take it to VfU on grounds that it is not patent nonsense and see what happens. Might be a WP:POINT, though. -Splash 04:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
      • Obviously untrue claims like the one in this article could rightly be speedily deleted as vandalism, but many people are uncomfortable with this, for some reason. Usually it takes a bold admin to just come and wipe it out. (That would definitely be a WP:POINT, BTW. If this legitimately ended up at VfU after a speedy, well, that'd be rather amusing.) android79 04:25, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete but not speedy. This is obvious Fiction or Hoax, but not speedyable under the current CSD. I have no problem "making head or tail" of it. In fact if the firest sentance were changed to "In the james-bond-like novel Dr SoandSo the character Gus Roberts..." I'll bet it would have a consenssus to keep (assuming that such a novel existed). If this were speedy deleted unde the present rules I would be inclined to put it on VfU. The CSD should not be streached or bent, IMO. DES 14:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
    • You say this is an obvious hoax – a joke article. Joke articles are categorized as vandalism. Vandalism is speediable under criterion A3. android79 14:49, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
      • That is an interesting idea. But I don't see anything on the vandalism. page that says that a hoax is a type of vandalism, although it might be implied on the grounds that it is a bad-faith edit. However I would be opposed to making (or considering) a hoax as a reson for speedy deletion , because there ar too many false positives. i have seen several articles nominted for VfD listed as "hoax" where it turns out thet they are accurate but unusual. For example, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Elizabeth Foulstar where someone incorrectly thought the page might be a hoax. Too many pages are inaccurately identified as hoaxes for this to be a safe reason for speedy deletion -- let them come to VfDF where several people can give vbiews, and if somehting is infact not a hoax, a citation will no doubt be provided. DES 17:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
      • That said, I would not object to a new reason for speedy deletion the specified using wikipedia to publish fiction, which i think might cover this case, but I don't think that A3 as currently written will cover that. DES 17:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
      • I think I will point discussion on Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion at this page so more people can consider with pages like this are or ought to be speedy candidates, with is really not relevant to whether thsi particular page shoulod eb dleted via the VfD process, as I trust it will. DES 17:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
        • From Wikipedia:Vandalism: Users will sometimes create joke articles or replace existing articles with plausible-sounding nonsense. That's what this is, aside from the "plausible" part. "Gus Roberts is known as the most dangerous person in the history of the world" is patently ridiculous, a far cry from the example you cite. android79 18:11, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
          • I see your point, and I missed that phrase. I agree that this case is far more obvious that the one I cited, or than most hoaxes. A clear "joke" article probably does constitute vandalism, at least it is arguable. But I would not want that used on things labeled "hoaxes" for fear of the kind of situations i discuss above. I raised this point on Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Hoaxes and Fiction, care to comment there? DES 18:27, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
        • The thing is, unchecked fiction is frequently indistinguishable from a hoax, so it makes sense to put it before a greater number of eyes to determine the proper course of action. — Gwalla | Talk 06:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Isajeep

Neologism at best -- a phrase popularized by a questionably notable message board is not worthy of an article.

The above explanation is at best a lie and at worst, censorship based in political correctness. At the very least, a simple definition and explanation of origin should remain.

[edit] The Minuteman project

I believe that this article (The Minuteman project) has a bunch of issues. Someone considered merging it with the Minuteman Project, which is a different page. (Also, note "The Minuteman Project" with a capital P redirecits to Minuteman Project),

  • As some of you know, and as you can see on Minuteman Project, it was a group of American citizens that began in 2005 opposing illegal immigration
  • The article at The Minuteman project starts talking about a "Minuteman Project" as a group of "American farmers" opposing illegall immigration.
  • It says that "The group became infamous during 2000, as The Neighborhood Watch Ranch". When I searched "Neighborhood Watch Ranch" in Google, I found no results outside of Wikipedia/related articles.
  • I could not verify any of the other information about the alleged illegal activities of such a group.
  • The article then jumps to the 2005 T-Shirt incident. This seems to be talking about the recently created "Minuteman Project" as written in Minuteman Project.
  • The reference link at the bottom of the page only talks about the Minuteman Project in 2005, it makes no mention whatsoever of a 2000 group called "The Neighborhood Watch Ranch" or any similar activities.
  • The article is laden with extreme POV and unsourced accusations.
  • In conclusion, I think that most of the The Minuteman project page is a complete fabrication made up to slander the Minuteman Project. The 2005 t-shirt incident is the only information with sources to back it up, and it's already covered in Minuteman Project
  • The Minuteman project should not be merged with Minuteman Project as requested by a user.

--Ar57 00:02, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Appears to be either a POV fork or an accidental duplication. Either way, the claims made aren't referenced, and I can't find anything on Google, either. The Minuteman Project presents a good POV description of this group, AFAICT. If there's any verifiable, useful info in this article (which I doubt), merge it into The Minuteman Project; otherwise, Delete. android79 00:53, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • Err, yeah, I meant Redirect. Really, I did. (Although delete-and-recreate-as-redirect wouldn't be a bad idea, either.) android79 01:29, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Minuteman Project, appears to be a dupe. —PrologFan {Talk} 01:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the above page, since it is a duplication. Plus, these guys and other protesters are in my area now, so I heard a lot of what they want to do and what they have done so far. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
