[edit] All Master's Rap (Bathroom Rap)

As with Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap above: Video games are notable, but single levels from video games? To be fair, this is also a song from the PaRappa the Rapper soundtrack. But I still don't think it needs its own article. Delete or Merge with PaRappa the Rapper. BrianSmithson

• Merge with PaRappa the Rapper. I see no point to a seperate article to every song/stage in a game. --W.marsh 17:14, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amioba

Article cites "Eragian mythology." There is, as far as I can determine, no such thing. Chick Bowen 01:16, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, there's really nothing to merge. It doesn't contain information about amoebas, and was clearly not intended to. Note that this user has 13 contributions, most of which are to AfD. Chick Bowen 03:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Argentina v England (2005)

Article about friendly match between Argentina national football team and England national football team seams to me not important enough to have its own article. The match was just a friendly match with no special incidents. Mariano(t/c) 09:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, sporting event with an audience of millions of people. Kappa 11:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Welcome to world globalisation. Every single episode of any medium soap opera is seen by millions. Mariano(t/c) 12:31, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merging to the rivalry article below would also be acceptable, as would comprehensive coverage of all medium soap operas around the world. Kappa 00:18, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge...I'm not sure where. Professional sports events happen every day, usually several a day in different places in the world. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 11:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep England v Argentina is not an average friendly (and it was a great match). Can't sensibly be merged. CalJW 12:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I admit ignorance of the game itself (other than what the article says); how do you mean that it wasn't an average game? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Presumedly because England won for a change! -- Francs2000 12:42, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • England and Argentina have a rivalry dating back to the Hand of God goal at the 1986 World Cup and spanning some key games since. Argentina are one of England's two biggest footballing rivals alongside Germany, and the something similar may well apply the other way round, with Brazil taking the place of Germany. Both countries are in the top 10 in the FIFA World Rankings. CalJW 16:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't suppose there's an article about this rivalry? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 16:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Actually, Hand of God goal itself seems to contain a nice little history of major England-Argentina games since 1986. It doesn't mention this match yet, so maybe it would be a suitable place to merge it to? — Haeleth Talk 18:02, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into the respective team articles. PJM 12:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or fail that merge per above. Individual games are not encyclopedic, even if they inspire tremendous passion in fans. Dottore So 13:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Argentina national team and England national team. Simple enough. Now merged into England and Argentina football rivalry, so delete this Sam Vimes 14:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Too detailed for main articles. Carina22 15:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment The nominator didn't disclose that he is a national of the losing country. CalJW 16:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - of transient interest. Nobody is going to want to read this match report in even a month's time. Individual sports matches shouldn't have entries of their own unless they are really significant (e.g. World Cup finals). --ajn (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - as of ajn. -- Elisson • Talk 17:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Mariano. -- Kjkolb 18:08, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's only a friendly, and I can't see a merge into the national team articles in this case doing anything more than bloating the artcles. Maybe put down the result and the scoreline or something, but...I mean, that's not a merge, really. Lord Bob 19:05, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Hand of Gold goal as Haeleth suggested, if this can be done sensibly. Otherwise delete. Reyk 19:33, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - as entertaining and dramatic a game as it was, it *was* just a friendly, and as such isn't notable enough for an article. There'll be plenty of match reports around online for anybody in years to come who wishes to know more about the game, as it's already covered here with a brief mention in the England team's article. It'll probably get a mention in the Hand of God goal piece soon too — a piece which I suspect could perhaps be re-named / split off into a history of this particular footballing rivalry, which *is* a notable one. Angmering 20:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  Yeah, the rivalry is notable and could probably use an article (although I think the Hand of God goal is notable on its own merits even if the rivalry gets an article). Perhaps we could merge into that, although I'm hesitant to vote that way on a non-existant article. Lord Bob 20:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  Okay, I've created a draft page at User:Angmering/England and Argentina football rivalry, for a possible page on the whole shebang. I know it's lacking quotes, references, etc, but hopefully others with greater knowledge can build to this start. What do you think? Worth adding to the main namespace? Please do feel free to change / add to / move to the main namespace as you feel appropriate. Angmering 22:52, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  That looks like the start of a really interesting article. Make sure it makes it onto the list of unusual articles if/when it's ready for prime time; when would Britannica ever cover something like that? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 22:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I've now moved the piece to the main namespace, where it resides, unsurprisingly, at England and Argentina football rivalry. It's got references, etc now, but is sadly lacking an image — I tried in vain to find a free image of one of the games or even separate ones of England and Argentina teams and / or notable players from these matches, but haven't had any luck. Anyone know of such images? Angmering 13:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per Angmering; the article on the Eng-Arg rivalry is a good idea to my mind. Sliggy 00:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete.England and Argentina football rivalry already has all the information and Angmering did a great job with it.
• Delete, because of the England and Argentina football rivalry article. Hopefully, one day we will have a Brazil and Argentina football rivalry too. Carioca 19:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

It seems like Argentina has rivalries all over the place. :) Sebastian Kessel ^Talk 16:07, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - just a friendly and the 'rivalry' is well documented elsewhere. --Meiers Twins 11:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if these cricket articles are kept, why not football (which is a much more popular sport).  Grue  18:43, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - No. Why not have an individual article for every international ever played in the history of sport? A football match does not deserve it's own article, I mean, this match was a FRIENDLY. The result means little, it wasn't even a world cup qualifier. Heck, I wouldn't even have a group stage World Cup final's game as a separate article, they should be merged! - Hahnchen 00:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Grue. Friendliness between UK and Arg is certainly notable. User:Ejrrjs says What? 07:20, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Clear vanity page, but the newspaper article is an assertion of notability so I figured it wasn't a speedy deletion candidate. Chick Bowen 03:35, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Eleven, I think it was. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 16:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• The article cites no sources, and research turns up no published works dealing with this person, that are sourced independently from the subject, aside from one sentence mentions in articles about Germaine Greer's candidacy. The only source of information about the subject is the subject himself, in an interview. The source of the purported Germaine Greer quotation is also the subject himself, and its accuracy has already been disputed by other people. The WP:BIO criteria are not satisified. It appears that this person has not had any independently sourced press coverage, let alone as much as Mike McCue (AfD discussion) has. Delete. Uncle G 15:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no assertion of notability sufficient for WP:BIO. — Haeleth Talk 18:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• This model of aircraft appears to be completely unverifiable. The only even vaguely reliable things that research turns up are nothing more than speculative "what the world will be like 40 years from now" pieces that mention, in passing, people travelling in Boeing 797s.

[edit] Britlist

Non-notable website. Few google hits (39 unique), Alexa ranking stops just short of 500,000. Little more than advertising. Francs2000 17:20, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. One of many such sites in the UK that linkfarm to boost their Google rating. Hence, lots of Google results, but only around 40 unique hits. Nothing unique about this site to jstify it's inclusion. --GraemeL ^(talk) 17:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep article. It's not actually link farming that gives them so many google results - it's the fact that they have so many unique pages. A lot of the results are a combination of the number of sections and towns that they cover. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.6.234.29 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 16 November 2005.
• Delete. I responded to a message yesterday on the help desk from Timp of Britlist wondering what had happened to an article he had posted. I checked the records and noticed that we had an article created by Tim Patterson of November 9 and I assume that Tim P of Britlist and Tim Patterson are one and the same. I did a search and discovered 109,000 hits so I put a notice on the UK Wikipedians notice board talk page see [[4]]. The general concensus was that this was of little value and should be listed.

[edit] Cabury

Don't know if it's a real person, certainly doubtful if he is notable, googling 'cadbury Harold Earl Wessex godwin godfrey' yielded these results, none seem to be about the person i question. By the way, it seems to be a typo in the article title, since the text refers to "Cadbury" - Akamad 09:53, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as the creator did not appear to check the spelling. Jtmichcock 12:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure that's a criterion for deletion. More to the point, the contributor appears to be quite aware of the issue, since he's added the same "historical" figure to Cadbury itself. Maybe he thought this was an appropriate way to handle the fact that Cadbury already existed? — Haeleth Talk
• Delete Trivial at best. PJM 12:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The name Cadbury although derived from an Anglo-Saxon name, is an English derivative of Anglo-Saxon and thus not contemporary for the 11th century. That alone proves this is bollocks. -- Francs2000 12:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. Not only is it not an 11th-century form of the word, but "Cadbury" is a place-name, not a personal name, as the "-bury" suffix makes amply clear... — Haeleth Talk 18:09, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per Wile E. Heresiarch. Nonsense. --Timecop 01:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• This isn't systemic bias. A similiar article about any country's blogs would have similiar problems. Certain blogs are apparently being used as primary sources, but there are no secondary sources. If sufficient secondary sources cannot be found and used, this article should go away for lack of verifiability. It's not that the article is bad, but to me it looks like original research, and as such should be deleted. I could change my mind if sources are found. Friday [[User_talk:Friday|(talk)]] 02:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • This is non-American systemic bias. The main articles on blog topics almost exclusively concern the situation in the USA. They are essentially national US articles. I know this is hard for some people to see, like fish seeing the water, but please try to treat other countries fairly.--Simon.Pole 04:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This article is thinly-veiled vanity. Of no encyclopedic value. The Tangent 00:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Delete. -- You have got to be kidding, right? Not notable whatsoever. 65.34.232.136 05:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• The article at blog is presently very US-centric, and coverage of Canadian bloggers is required in some manner. Either keep or merge into blog as a Canadian section; the topic is most certainly not any less encyclopedic than the exclusively American examples currently cited at blog. Bearcat 06:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Then perhaps cleanup of blog is in order. Not saying I should do it, but why exactly are there *examples of blogs* in an article about blogs, you've seen one, you've seen them all, a simple one-paragraph description of what a blog is should suffice. The whole blog thing is blown out of proportion. --Timecop 06:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Do we need something describing what blogs are for every country? What makes Canada so special? All of this information is just repeatative of what blogging in general is. 131.128.142.226 06:44, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a no-brainer in the Canadian media; this is used as part of any good barometer of Canadian public opinion. Deleting this article would be a mistake, and I think significantly demonstrates an offhand US systemic bias on Wikipedia. It *is* tantamount to saying that Canadian political debate (which naturally contains a lot of debate about US policy, for reasons any Canadian would see as obvious (US policy has arguably as much effect on Canada as Canadian policy)) is irrelevant. As a Canadian, I'm inclined to object to that. References to PB or 'Canadian Blogosphere' as 'non-notable' here seem to be offhand and poorly informed. I don't hesitate to say that an American isn't going to be naturally inclined to make an informed choice about this. There are, after all, only 30 million Canadians. . . for US perspective, that's NYC and surrounding areas, and we're a pretty politically splintered group. That said, the Alexa rankings make perfect sense, and actually don't justify deletion based on overall popularity. Overall popularity among whom? Americans interested in Canadian political scandals? "What makes Canada so special?" What makes the US so special that most references in 'blogging' are pulled from the US (and refer to it)? Is there a US or pan-global content requirement for a Wikipedia article to be relevant? I wasn't aware that there was.
  • You're making an argument to fix the U.S. bias in the other articles, not to keep this particular one. There is nothing special about Canadian blogs, and there is also nothing special about U.S. blogs, so no article should be biased towards either. Incidentally, before you go assuming I'm demonstrating bias here myself, let me add that I'm British... and I would vote to delete British Blogosphere, if it existed. — Haeleth Talk 17:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm actually making the argument that this is a form of political dialogue that is rather important in Canada, and that if, perhaps, the article ought to be about anything other than what it is (which is bewildering, IMO), it ought to be about or include a distinct section about the mechanism by which the Canadian media interacts with this specific set of blogs, and the reason why they have such an effect on the political debate in Canada. That is notable, IMO. These sites are simply not what these delete votes claim. Sigma-6
• Keep, The article is well written, I agree with Simon.Pole, it is bias to non-Amercian articles, if there was a article of Amercian blogospheres it wouldn't of been vfd'd. To 131.128.142.226's comments, what makes Amercians so special? They bomb countries for oil? Thats all they seem noteable for. --supers 06:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge with blogging? unnecessarily subcategorising an already over-publicised subject Adamn 08:25, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I don't want to speculate on the suitability of this article itself, but I'd be a happy man if we could move this to Canadian blogs or somewhere similar. Blogosphere is such an awful, awful word, really. We shouldn't encourage its use by acknowledging its existence -- and this from a committed descriptivist. Someone think of the kittens. - Randwicked 08:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per maclean25 and SimonP above. Luigizanasi 14:26, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• I really, really hope people will explain their reasoning for keeping or deleting as it relates to editorial policies and the objections to the content. Assuming sinister anti-left or anti-Canada motives is not helpful. Also, just because there are equally unverifiable articles on other topics does not make this a proper article. This isn't written as an article, it's written as a personal essay. I'm willing to accept that blogs are significant to Canadian politics. But, this is a recent movement, and if no proper sources are available on this topic, there's no way to have an article about it. Making it neutral and verifiable is impossible without a sufficient number of reliable sources. Friday (talk) 14:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I fail to see how the blogosphere is a "recent movement". The word was coined at the latest in 2002, and one assumes what it describes was going on for some time before that. I also fail to see why a Canadian article somehow needs to be rolled into a larger American article to be valid.--Simon.Pole 20:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Has absolutely nothing to say other than "hey, there are bloggers in Canada, and they do the same stuff as bloggers everywhere else!" Except when it makes unsupported and unverifiable claims like "weblogs of a political nature have a particularly high visibility in Canada, perhaps more so than other countries". Merge any useful content into other articles like Blogosphere and Blog, to counter the U.S. bias perceived there, but there is no reason to keep this as an article in its own right. — Haeleth Talk 17:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I've removed that claim for now. I still abstain. - Randwicked 01:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. -- Femmina 22:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Haeleth. All this article does is assert that Canadians blog, just like people in dozens of other countries do. Andrew Levine 22:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment This article does more than just "assert that Canadians blog". The article actually discusses the importance of blogs in Canada as opposed to other countries, citing examples. Is it too much to ask that people read entries before voting to delete them?--Simon.Pole 23:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Needs some claenup, but covers a surprisingly broad topic rather well. Radagast 23:00, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This is another pointless, irrelevant, non noteworthy, redundant, self righteous blog. Take it outside and shoot it please. --Impi.za 00:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • This article is about many blogs, not just one blog. What are you talking about? -Hapsiainen 00:35, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Also, this is the user's 11th edit. The user has only edited AfD discussions. -Hapsiainen 00:44, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It is clearly notable. It also analyzes the Canadian blog culture, not just describes blogging in general. -Hapsiainen 00:35, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This is getting silly. There is systemic bias on Wikipedia in favor of all things internet-related. This article's existance is helped by the bias, not hurt by it. This is not an "American article versus Canadian article" issue- Wikipedia is meant for the whole world, not just two particular countries. There should be no such thing as an American article or Canadian article, they're all just articles. But, the big issue here is the lack of verifiability. This is a broad, new topic. I don't see how it's going to be possible to write a proper article (rather than a personal essay) on this topic unless there are good secondary sources available. Friday 00:39, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Until there's a consensus that there should be no country specific blogosphere article, this is a reasonable entry. If specific facts in the article are disputed or not verifiable, those items can be hammered out on the talk page. Samw 01:58, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per everyone, and strong rename to something more dignified. - Randwicked 02:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: As for the country specific blogosphere articles, to me this is a no-brainer. Blogs, by their very nature as websites, are global. You can group them together sensibly only by their subject matter. Should we have an article about the "Pizza blogosphere" (blogs about pizza)? Until reliable sources are talking about the "Canadian blogosphere" as an identifiable thing, I still can't see how this could be verifiable. Friday 03:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • How do you know they're not? Do you read the op-ed sections of Canadian Newspapers or watch Canadian Political commentary on TV? Sigma-6
    • • How much more crap do Canadians have to take here? Comparing Canada to Pizza? This is such an insult its beyond words. With such bias, and such contempt for another country, I don't how this is acceptable.--Simon.Pole 04:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Are you trolling or what? Skrewler 05:46, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
          • This whole vfd is a trolling exercise, I wonder who started it?--Simon.Pole 05:56, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
            • Argh. Sorry. No insult was remotely intended. I would have the same opinion of the Shakespeare blogosphere, if such an article existed. And, of course, American blogosphere would be just as silly. Not all the english-speaking world is USA and Canada, you know. Friday 14:53, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment. One of Wikipedia's recognised strengths is that it is up-to-date, especially on recent phenomena. We have articles on every single imaginable video game, most music albums you care to mention, practically every single piece of software out there, a number of usenet newsgroups, Wikipedia did better than the regular news media on recent events such as the London bombings and Hurricane Katrina, and so on. Where else but Wikipedia can people find hopefully neutral information on the recent and increasingly important phenomenon of blogging, especially political blogs, which are not neutral by their very nature. NPOV articles on Blogging groups (not necessarily individual blogs, mind you), perform a vital service to the world at large. Luigizanasi 04:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment A group of users is systematically going through and deleting all blog-related entries. This is operating in bad faith. You can see the organizing page here. They even targetted J.D. Lasica's entry. These people are living in a cave. I'm surprised they have digits to type at their keyboards.--Simon.Pole 08:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Notice how you didn't vote keep on half the retarded articles on the list, just the Canadian ones. Now who's being "systematically biased"?
  • • Comment Editors should be aware that the organizer of this purge User:Timecop, has proclaimed a "War on Blogs" on his user page. His user pages also states that he is a leader of the Gay Nigger Association of America. The GNAA are a group of organized trolls, notorious for flooding Slashdot with spam. They appear to have targetted Wikipedia.--Simon.Pole 09:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
      • • • Comment This definately a GNAA exercise. User:JacksonBrown who has voted delete on several current blog vfd's had a huge GNAA slogan on his user page that was removed by administators (you can see it here). I don't know what else to say. The GNAA is organizing a mass deletion of blog-related entries. All blog-relate vfd's should be stopped immediately.--Simon.Pole 09:51, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
            • Comment Note: User:Timecop is actually the "President" of the GNAA, as you can see in this "press release" from their website. Wikipedia, you've been had.--Simon.Pole 10:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
              • Comment So what? that is called a personal attack, and has nothing to do with this VFD Adamn 11:15, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
              • Comment It doesn't matter one bit if this is organised by GNAA or whoever. They give their reasons and they are following procedure. It's legitimate. - Randwicked 11:23, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
                • My personal pass-time should be none of your concern. All the VFD's for blog-related stuff that *I* created are valid though. And I didn't 'start' the effort, I simply extended it. --Timecop 11:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

                    • The original nomintator Skrewler, however, is in on the GNAA blog-delete project, working in concert with GNAA President User:Timecop.--Simon.Pole 10:55, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
                      • I'm sorry to say that I really don't see the relevance. So Timecop and Skrewler are big bad trolls. Point me to where they have been vandalising blog pages and I'll agree something needs to be done. Rampantly nominating blog-related articles for deletion isn't against any rule I know of, even if they are being provocative about it. - Randwicked 12:28, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cdghost

Most likely autobiographical, and non-notable. Gets 955 google hits. Interiot 19:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Seems like vanity and non-notable. On a side note... it google really a good way to measure an articles worthiness in terms of AfD? Deskana 19:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not a good way per-se. The best way is for someone who is familiar enough with the material to not just be making a "I've never heard of this" assessment, yet is detached enough to make an honest judgement. In lieu of someone like that who can make an authoritate assessment, it's better than simply saying "I've never heard of it before". *shrug* --Interiot 20:03, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. There are at least two problems with google hits: link exchange and the presence of unrelated topic. In this case, a search for " cdghost -site:diaryland.com" (pages mentioning cdghost but not on the site diaryland.com) gives 700 hits, but most seem to be related to Net CD Ghost V5.0 - Multimedia network virtual CD cabinet. A search for "link:cdghost.diaryland.com" (links to the site) gives 1 hit. As Interiot correctly pointed out, the opinion of an expert would be the best thing. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 20:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Actually, the best way is to not count hits at all, but instead to read what the Google Web search turns up, and look to see whether anyone else, apart from its own author, has written about this journal. Multiple published works about the subject from sources that are independent of the subject itself are a clear indicator of notability, as they demonstrate that other people have found the subject notable enough that they have gone to the effort of writing and publishing stuff of their own about it. No experts and their opinions are required for this method. Uncle G 00:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Uncle G is correct - in part. He is correct in saying that other people having written about the journal is more relevant than the number hits. However, if there are basically no links to the journal site (besides those from the same site), it is probably safe to assume that the journal is not notable (not vice versa; I think this is his point). I assume that Uncle G is only proposing "this method" for articles on web sites/blogs/journals and similar things. If he is proposing to use it in general, I strongly disagree with him: there are some notable topics that are not covered well on the Internet (I remember a past AfD about a town in India with a population of over 100.000 and with a little web coverage). I am saying this because the original question was about using Google in general, not in particular for this kind of articles. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 11:26, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

An almost unverifiable comic book publisher which does, I think, not meet our standards for the inclusion of corporations.

[edit] Ciao restaurant

This article could be about any Italian restaurant called "Ciao," anywhere in the world, and the article doesn't provide enough information for anybody (including other editors) to tell which of the potentially thousands of Ciao restaurants it is talking about.

• Speedy delete, CSD-A1 popped in mind when reading the article. I think it may refer to a chain of several restaurants around Italian highways, but a quick google search for Ciao ristorante reveals that are tons of restaurant with that name. As a result, this article does not provide sufficient context for even identifying what it is about, let alone expanding (that it's short is not enough for A1.)

The result of the debate was MOOT. The previous article, a one-liner that failed to even explain where the school is, was a clear-cut CSD A1 candidate, and I'm sorry I didn't speedy it when I first saw it. That non-stub has been replaced with a redirect to an actual stub, mooting the grand majority of the delete arguments, so I am closing this particular discussion as resolved, as neither the title nor the contents of that less-than-a-stub now exist anywhere on Wikipedia save buried in page history somewhere.

That said, this is not intended to be an endorsement of the stub at Colin's Performing Arts School, as that stub did not exist during the bulk of this discussion. If someone wishes to list that stub on AFD (Eris help them), this is not a relevant precedent to protect that stub and should not be cited as such. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:38, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Colin's Performing Arts School

Article is a review, not an encyclopedia entry. Plus I don't know if its notable since googling "Colins performing arts school" only came up with 12 results. Akamad 10:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Colins Remedial Spelling School would be more beneficial.vandals are people too! User's contributions are a trail of crappy vandalism. - Randwicked 10:51, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Please review WP:CIVIL. Kappa 11:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, for the love of... please be civil, even to anons. Everyone started out as a clueless newbie, and if this had been the reception to my first work (not the AFD, but the incivility) I would not still be here on Wikipedia. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:42, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I do not believe all the edits made by 212.85.15.78 are by the same person. The general style of this article seems perfectly sincere to me, and is very different from the style of some of the edits that Randwicked calls, "crappy vandalism." In any case, we should be discussing the article, as the keep/delete decision should depend on the article and not on the contributor. Good articles by crappy vandals should, of course, be kept. By the way... what, exactly, would be high-quality vandalism and how does it differ from crappy vandalism? No, never mind, don't answer that. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:24, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete due to lack of verifiability. If references can be cited before the close of this discussion I will change my vote. Silensor 23:33, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or userfy. Just barely verifiable and not notable. To the anon who created this: if you create a Wikipedia account, which is free, takes about fifteen seconds, and doesn't require disclosure of any personal information, you can choose any username you like. You get a personal user page, and this material would be perfectly suitable for it. Also, user pages get indexed by Google so people searching for this would still find it, just not in the main encyclopedia. It would be nice to know if this school is spelled "Collins" with two L's or "Colins" with one L. Google shows sporadic hits on both. I'm thinking this is Collins Performing Arts School and College in or near London, "trains students from 3 – 16." One of the relatively few hits is a resume of an actress named Nikki Thomas who attended Colins (with one L) and has done some work in commercials. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:24, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep It exists, doesn't it? Furthermore, the nominator (and many of the deletionist vandals wishing to delete) fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of deletion. Deletion is not a judgment on the content of the article; if there are problems with the content then the article should be revised, not deleted. Deletion policy even says as much, although the deletionist vandals conveniently ignore that part of their holy book. Deletion is a judgment on the worthiness of the topic of the article itself for inclusion--and anything that exists is worthy for inclusion. Kurt Weber 14:36, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delay please. Can I ask this AFD not be closed until at least five days after DBsmith found the web site. I think there was good basis of deletion early on, but now I think there probably is a basis for keeping it; yet I haven't had time to know that for sure (I only noticed the fix just now). Rather than just vote "keep" I'ld rather we just pause and review what's now known (as I haven't had time evaluate what info I've read, its verifiability, and its signficance). --Rob 20:52, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

    • • Well, I would say it probably falls under Articles 7 (An article about a real person that does not assert that person's importance or significance), but I wasn't thinking about that when I left the comment. I was probably more just being snarky, but as per Syrthiss below, it seems logical that there ought to be a criteria for stuff of this nature. I would have a hard time imagining under which circumstances any player character in any sort of RPG would be notable. Junjk 18:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • that was my problem, I looked on WP:CSD to see what might apply...but nothing quite fits. Perhaps we need to add a criteria for RPG Character Bios (or just Character Bios in general). :) --Syrthiss 17:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Commons, as suggested above (assuming the images are properly sourced and free). Wikipedia is not an image gallery, and I oppose the proposed policy change that would turn it into one. (By the way, I didn't manage to actually see any of the images, because the derned image server is so flippin' slow these days... yet another reason against turning the site into an image gallery) *Dan T.* 16:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I assume you have read my proposal at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not#Proposal to modify WP:NOT an image gallery. If so, please comment there as to why you oppose the proposed change. BTW, in my opinion, the current slowness of the image servers is an argument for allowing image galleries. Since one must see many examples of an art movement in order to understand it, if image galleries are not allowed, then the images would need to be included in the main article, making that article slow to load. However, one would not know from a link wether or not an article is image intensive. (To demonstrate this point, which of these articles includes a large gallery: Codex Aureus of Lorsch or Codex Aureus of St. Emmeram?) However when you click on an article with the word "Gallery" in the title, you know what you are getting into. Dsmdgold 18:19, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

(Yeah, I know about undeletion, but anyone can look at the history of a redirect.) Redirects pose vanishingly little database impact and take up so little disk space as to be a rounding error.

This is completely unethical and shameless self promotion and spamming of Wikipedia on behalf of a useless, amateurish, and nondistinctive site called Ipselon that has just recently been launched.

• Delete or not Delete and make changes* I'm Antonio Cantallops the person that wrote the wikipedia article about Ipselon, first of all I feel much but I confused the username with nickname when I registered myself in wikipedia I'm sorry my poor english and also i like to say you i'm sorry if you think i'm spammer but i'm not spammer, i hate spammers.

I write you here my job and you judge me: when i was 14 years old my birthday present was my first computer "Spectrum Sinclair 32k", I am a self-taught person and now i have 30 years old. I like to much the computers and i like to much internet.

I had a idea to create a metasearch engine without publicity inside the results and include results of my own engine (a version based on nutch) and last 2 years i designed and created ipselon, a very hard job and many hours of job.

I do not have million dollars as other company's that have personal for create the enterprise, nobody has helped me to create ipselon only my parents and my wife. I have made meta-search engine with my own design and logo and i'm running 4 servers with my search engine version based on nutch that crawl internet web (the first version was an average year ago Ipselonbot 0.17 and now i'm running my version 0.53). Ipselon results are the combination of meta-search (Only this engines: Google, Yahoo, Msn and Teoma/Ask) + search engine based on Nutch. Ipselon Ranking results are combination of: Google results position, Yahoo results position, Msn results position, Teoma/Ask results position and my search engine version (based on Nutch)ranking position results.

When i wrote about ipselon in wikipedia I was not thinking to promote ipselon, i just was think to write a objective information about my company ipselon similar to other internet company's as clusty or dogpile.

I tried to wrote a similar article as clusty in wikipedia (internet open enciclopedia) with information about ipselon not for my own publicity. I haven't publicity at any place because i can't pay it and i don't send millions of e-mails to the people who do not wish to receive e-mails advertising also because i hate spammers (i have 2 ipselon e-mail accounts daily full of spam), the only publicity of ipselon it was the launching of press release with prweb.com and i haven't doing any more publicity.

I'm sorry again for my ipselon article (my first article on Wikipedia) and my bad english. If you want delete my article i understand you, but try to understand to me and my job, personally i prefer you don't delete my article but it's it is truth that is necessary to make a few changes to ipselon article for it be more objective and without language mistakes.

Thanks very much for your attention, my personal e-mail is toni.cantallops@ipselon.es if you want to tell me something about it. Antonio Cantallops 22:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Gastrich, or one of his supporters clearly wrote the original entry... Cut down, emasculated, and with a healthy dose of scepticism added I think it's worth leaving a page here on him if only to provide a voice that counters the enormous spin-machine that he runs through his ministry... He's clearly an important figure in North American fundamentalism which sadly twists real Christian teaching and attitudes through power abuse, ignorance, manipulation and personal ambition... I'm sorry... from the tone of the original article, Gastrich is clearly no different... so if he wants a presence in wikipedia, so be it, and let the article 'testify' to that...

[edit] Jason Gastrich

• DeleteThis entry will not improve the Wikipedia resource.Delete

This is simply a vanity page, as far as I can see. The level of debate he has managed to stir up is actually quite limited, and his "debating" with Usenet and other users is not particularly erudite. He has been as guilty of mis-representation as some of the tele-evangelists referenced below, often quoting at length arguments made by other creationists that have been thoroughly discredited, often years ago.

If Mr Gastrich deserves a Wikepedia article about himself, then I am afraid that the whole resource may as well degenerate into a free-for-all of vanity articles and ego-massaging entries.

Please delete this article.

Rob Naylor

• RetainThis entry will improve the Wikipedia resource.Retain

While it is true that Jason is still at a fairly early stage in his life and career for God, he already has managed to stir up so much discussion and debate about the Christian faith in the net, running one of the most visited Christian resources, and facilitating online work for many other Christians, as well as actively debating the most zealous and high profile atheists of America in Usenet and Bulletin Board discussions, so that he has actually become very high profile among them.

There exists a sizeable campaign among them to shut his mouth and make him look bad, and they usually use their overwhelming number on their forums to flood out his posts with bad posts about him, which actually in my view have no serious substance other than to serve as an excuse not to listen to the Message.

The existence of a few regrettable frauds in the tele-evangelists have enabled people to paint even sincere people in the worst possible colours, and they have been leveraging this to the hilt in defaming Gastrich, who is innocent of the matters they alledge and insinuate against him.

The existence of an officially sanctioned by Jason article about him on a resource of authority like Wikipedia would be a useful way to offer a balanced view about him, and would not detract from the quality and authority of this online encyclopedia. On the contrary, it would enhance it.

David J. James (aka "Uncle Davey) http://www.usenetposts.com

• • No, Davey, there is no "so much discussion" nor "most visited site" nor "sizeable campagin" nor any such thing involved. It's a relatively minor sideshow in the online world. Nothing to get excited about. Face it, if Gastrich were of any real significance, he and his merry band of sycophants wouldn't have to try to wedge a vanity page into the Wikipedia. Fact is, this system is not meant for self-promotion. You can whine about "persecution" all you want but there exist page after page after page here explaining what the Wikipedia is for and how it works. Deliberately breaking the rules then whining "Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!" only makes you look foolish. Mark K. Bilbo 17:22, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Though at an early stage in his "career for God," the only reason this "evangelist" has "managed to stir up so much discussion," which is mostly *not* about the Christian faith, is because of his underhanded and dishonest tactics as well as his methods of self-promotion. This "officially sanctioned" article does nothing more than repeat a number of his own self-aggrandizing claims. Like most such articles, it leaves more questions unanswered than answered.

• This is a self-admitted vanity page [13] by a trinity of users; Big Lover (talk • contribs) aka Big Hater (talk • contribs) aka Bobby Lou (talk • contribs). If anyone's ever come across this guy on Usenet you'll know he's a complete nutjob and a troll who runs half a dozen apologetics sites for his own personal gain. All of whatlinksthere was added by one of the three persons of Gastrich. Dunc|☺ 10:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• This Entry Should Stay. Duncharris is biased and has been against Gastrich for some time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Skeptic%27s_Annotated_Bible&action=history where he edited the entry so that someone wouldn't create a page for Gastrich (and he also made a negative comment about Gastrich in the attributions, indicating a personal bias against him).

  The Jason Gastrich entry is informative and he is notable as an author of several books, former gubernatorial candidate, college professor, etc. He is also mentioned and linked on several other Wikipedia pages. See:

  • Results of the 2003 California recall
  • Farrell Till
  • Reggie Finley
  • Skeptic's Annotated Bible
  • Louisiana Baptist University
    • Gastrich complains about bias in others, but would pretend that he has no bias. People are biased against him because of his actions and tactics, and the issues about an encyclopedia entry are just more examples of Gastrich's arrogance. Gastrich is not notable and did not author "several" books. There are two of record, one of them in three editions. Of those, both are amateurish, self-published, and self-promoted (just as all of this is about selling those books). He is not a "college professor." Having taught at a tech/trade college in undergraduate courses, assuming that's even true, does not make one a "college professor." His run for Governor of California was a joke. He got 11 votes, despite a fairly vigorous campaign. He couldn't even get the support of his local churches and fellow Christians, and that was so infuriating to him that he issued a press release, whining about it.
• On the Internet Infidels Discussion Board, Gastrich has had several debates. IIDB's top two most popular debates of all time belong to Gastrich. They've been read tens of thousands of times and so has the commentary thread(also most popular of all time). Among the commentary threads and debate threads, there are well over 60,000 reads; more than any other member or debater or thread.
  • It should be kept in mind that part of the reason for this is Gastrich arrogance, and the general desire among the readers to see Gastrich properly roasted in these debates, which is, of course, exactly what happened.
• On the Infidel Guy forum, Gastrich's debate is also the most popular of all time. And so is its commentary thread with tens of thousands of reads.
  • I don't know how the "debate" was determined to "the most popular of all time." It was fairly universally panned, with neither participant gaining much in the way of praise, and it's said that Gastrich charged (and, amazingly, was paid) $1,000 for his "performance." Gastrich's arguments, as usual, were eviscerated in the "Peanut Gallery" and Gastrich, himself, was unable to answer many pertinent questions about his position and about things related to him. If this was a "popular" debate, it was because there is some satisfaction in seeing one such as Gastrich humbled.
• This certainly isn't a vanity page and even if Gastrich is a nutjob, that isn't reason to remove this entry. I'm not an admin, but I vote to keep it. --Big Daddy 11:20, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Big Daddy is Jason Gastrich, so it's disingenuous, but common, for Gastrich to refer to himself as we see above, just as it's quite normal for Gastrich to take on a name like "Big Daddy" and refer to himself in the third person. Wiki does not keep articles by every narcissist that comes down the pike, and Gastrich should be no different. DELETE
  • The links were added, today, by you. As for college professor!?!?!?! That's a new one Jason, a step up from the diploma mill phds eh (you can find more about Jason's academic credentials here).

    • Gastrich teaching college courses at Coleman College (a nationally accredited technical school) in Psychology and Sociology is not new information. According to archive.org, while his resume was online, it was mentioned there. In fact, it's (ironically) linked from the durangobill.com site Duncharris cited above. --Big Daddy 10:19, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Jason, you are known liar. Did you perchance, get that job with your "degree" from Louisiana Baptist University? Do you think your bosses should know about this? — Dunc|☺ 10:47, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Coleman College is a small trade/tech college near San Diego, and teaching classes there does not make one a "professor." Usually the granting of the title, "Professor," has a specific criteria and meaning. Gastrich has always been impressed with the use of titles--"Doctor," "Professor," "counselor," and so on, even when he hasn't really earned the right to use those titles.

Durova 14:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • If positive book reviews on Amazon.com are actually a criteria for keeping a Wikipedia article, then the article should remain. There are far more positive reviews than negative ones. There are 26 total reviews and the book has received an average of 4 out of 5 stars. --Big Daddy 01:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Gastrich, you wrote most of those positive reviews with sock puppet accounts at Amazon. Harvestdancer 05:55, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes, there are more positive reviews, many clearly written by Gastrich. However, anyone who bothers to give the issue any thought can see that the negative reviews are clearly the more objective and substantial, and so have the most value. Even many Christians have steered clear of Gastrich and his controversies, and of those who comment, most find is methods offensive.

            • I don't think we will have any trouble turning the article into something more objective and honest, should it be retained. There's a lot of information on the web and in Usenet about Jason Gastrich and even from stuff written BY him. We can draw on that. Encyclopedia articles are not about promotion, and if they are written about personalities, they include the warts and controversies that Gastrich clearly wants to avoid. If the article is kept, it should include those. Otherwise, it is just a vanity piece.

  • FeloniousMonk and Duncharris are known Gastrich-haters. If he says black, they say white. They also have a specific, anti-Christian agenda (with a particular anti-fundamentalist/creatonist slant, of which Gastrich is part of) that can be seen throughout Wiki and Usenet. For instance, see revert war and comments in Anthony Flew's entry. --Big Daddy 03:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• This Entry Should Stay. --Vera Six Dr. Jason Gastrich, college professor and internationally known even here in Germany, is an author of several books and should not be insulted here but kept and petted. He surely is an enrichment, and people love him for his numerous Wikipedia entries, e-mail devotionals, or his wonderful web site. He should really be listed here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.134.120.26 (talk • contribs).

• Delete. Probably not notable enough an author. Most of the info provided (40 day fast, soccer coach, etc.) seems superfluous. If the article remains, it should at least be scaled down, perhaps only mentioning his few published works and governor run. Everything else is clearly a vanity piece. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.229.199.237 (talk • contribs).
• Retain. Dr. Jason Gastrich, through his writings and debates and web pages, has become a force in Christian apologetics and evangelism. One correction seems needed, however. A few years ago he wrote of changing his middle name to "Jesus." The article should include his full legal name. -- FH, Nov. 15, 2005 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.47.36.126 (talk • contribs).

• Why is this entry even being debated? It doesn't matter whether Jason Gastrich is on here or not, because it doesn't matter who is on here! Why is anybody saying he shouldn't? Do you want a totally controlled and bised site? Do you want only entries that you approve of? That is at the least, the socialistic LIMITING of free speech. The same thing happened in Germany, Russia, North Korea,even Canada and Sweden are entering that same preliminary controlling of the free press. Whoever opposes Jason Gastrich's entries here, are entering a dark and forboding realm of communistic limiting of not only free speech, but the controlling of the dissemination of knowledge...from all areas. To limit knowledge is dispicable, and robs people of the freedm to choose their path based on ALL viewpoints. --68.248.11.90 03:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)onewhoknowswhatmatters.
• This entry should stay. Jason Gastrich has ministered to many and has had a positive impact on people in this world. He is a noteable writer and is passionate about what he believes in, for the good of all. Again, my vote is that the entry stays...

  • I think Jason is a cool dude. He stands for the truth and opposes the Atheists lies. Many of the Atheists hate him and this is a sure sign that Jason is being persecuted for the truth.
  • Matt. 5:11 ¶ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

It should be noted though that "Jason Gastrich" has over 58,000 search results in Google, over 40,000 results in Usenet, and over 51,000 in Yahoo. Not to mention, the organization that he directs (Jesus Christ Saves Ministries) has over 221,000 search results in Google.--Big Daddy 01:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Not quite. Google only shows 196 unique hits for "Jason Gastrich". The tens of thousands of other hits may be mirrors, etc. -Willmcw 09:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. While he might possibly be infamous, the sockpuppets have muddied the waters so much it's difficult to tell, and clearly it's going to be difficult sustaining an objective article when the only Wikipedia editor interested in the man is himself. Naturally AfD is not cleanup, but I don't think Wikipedia is really going to miss this article, so I err on the side of deletion. --Last Malthusian 09:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
  • These certainly don't look like sockpuppets. Anyhow, there are two points to consider. First, the ruling admins will be able to see everyone's IP address and he or she will know whether or not these are sockpuppets or people from all over the country and the world who are weighing in on this issue. Next, voting to delete simply on the assumption that these are sockpuppets is absolutely absurd. Votes such as these should be significantly devalued.--Big Daddy 18:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, "all over the country and the world" as in "open proxies." 213.42.0.0/16 contains a number of open proxies and at least one unsigned comment in support of this page has come through 213.42.2.22 which is very interesting don't you think? Mark K. Bilbo 20:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Retain: It is not difficult understanding why some people want this entry deleted. Even if some people feel they have personal problems with the entry, the information given in the entry is beneficial for many. Has someone noted the vulgar and hate speech some of those who want the entry deleted have resorted to?--Cilmin, 18 November, 2005.
• Hi! Thank You so much for letting us be apart of the in-put! Jason as usual has gone to great lengths to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Yes you will have opposition. What would faith be without it in our world?. But at the same time Our great Nation depends on differences of opinion and allows each party to talk,show,discuss, But NEVER DELETES or ILLIMINATES the other opinion!Its what makes our country so great! If you know anything about any of his sites -You know the time effort and personal touch that goes into his information and discussions and sharing of Faith! Jason's site should be allowed to stay and let more people see for themselves. Thank You! - 64.136.27.225 http://TheHelpMeets.com

• Delete VERY non-notable, VERY vanity, VERY self-promotion. I wouldn't be surprised if several of those voting to keep were Gastrich himself. It is not of encyclopedic value, and sould be SPEEDY deleted. The most notable thing about Gastrich is when he was involved in the edit war at Antony Flew and he tried to insert a link to his website there. Harvestdancer 05:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Harvestdancer's comments aren't only absurd, but they're willfully dishonest. Click here and see how Harvestdancer almost daily talks about Jason Gastrich (in a Google Group designed just to talk about Gastrich) and has it out for him.--Big Daddy 06:16, 19 November 2005 (UTC) "Big Daddy" is Gastrich, and there are several comments in this "discussion" written by Gastrich.
    • What has that got to do with whether his claim is true or not? — B.Bryant 06:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Nothing more than an Ad Hominem attempt to defuse an argument he can't refute. Anyone who goes to that external site will notice that my criticisms are actually in the form of advice that could be beneficial to him.Harvestdancer 15:30, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Definitely a vanity entry, designed to promote and sell a product (the e-book) using Wiki as a free advertising platform.
• Delete If he deserves an article it's only because he's a well-known self-promoting Usenet kook. — B.Bryant 06:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete Very self serving and I find the fasting claim both erroneous and mildly offensive. Erroneous because the first time he only fasted for 36 days according to the text, not 40, further, how on earth does anyone know that only a few have doen this. Offensve because there are people starving to death every day who undoubtedly beat his 40 day record hands down.

• RetainYes it's something of a vanity page, but Jason is a coming man and Wikipedia maintains pages about many flamboyant religious figures. Both leaders and frauds, Jason will probably be one of them in a few years.

Retain.

• Delete The only reason Gastrich posted this page is to promote his web sites and sell his "book."
• Delete per nomination. If someone wants a vanity page, there are plenty of web hosts out there. Mark K. Bilbo 15:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Gastrich is not an important figure in North American Fundamentalist. That's how he sees himself, and I don't think it does any good to inflate his importance.

Delete********** This guy seems to be on a ego trip. He has very little credibility.

  • Well, we agree on at least one thing, Squibix. With the addition of Dave Horn's (138.162.140.45) soap opera/editorial/opinions/conjecture, the article isn't very encyclopedic. However, before he tampered with it, it did resemble other Wiki entries on authors, evangelists, professors, etc.--Big Daddy 22:45, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, Jason, what it looked like was an advertising and promotion piece for your ministry and yourself. Can you imagine an article about Peter Popoff that didn't include his exposure as a fraud, or one about Jimmy Swaggart that did not include his famous "I have sinned" speech after being caught with prostitutes? An encyclopedia entry is not one that must needs be limited to whatever the subject wants others to see. Sometimes, it has to include things that the subject may wish to have hidden.
    • Jason, I notice you want us to believe that you have a degree in psychology, but here, on your campaign site, you tell us that your degree is in "Liberal Arts and Sciences (Psychology)," which tells me that the degree is not in psych, but in a more general area, and you probably took quite a few courses in psych, just not enough to get a degree in it. You do understand the difference, don't you?

[edit] Leanor Till

Low number of Google hits and no Allmusic entry; I'm not sure this musician meets the criteria for WP:MUSIC. --Alan Au 01:05, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: For a biography article, the subject needs to meet WP:BIO, in my opinion, which is why band articles should not link all member names unless the member is known for something outside of the band or is famous outside of the band. In this case, it's a bio of a person who has led a life. No prejudice against the musician, but she is not sufficiently notable for a biography in an encyclopedia. Geogre 03:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• I understand what you're saying. The band did go on one Euro tour and several U.S. tours. Maybe just merge it (and Reese Roper 's bio with the Five Iron Frenzy article? Reese is probably a tad more notable than Jeff though.--Energysword 04:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Dragon Riders

Obviously something to do with some work of fiction, but since it isn't any I recognise and is so seriously lacking in context I think it belongs here. And if it doesn't get deleted please fix the capitalisation. DJ Clayworth 22:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge or link to Pern somewhere Astaroth5 22:46, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Do not merge - the names in this article are unconnected to the Dragonriders of Pern. Pern dragon riders have their names shortened (e.g. F'lar). Delete this article unless some kind of context is introduced. Sliggy 23:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless someone can identify what, exactly, this is. Even if it ends up being Pern, the fact that there is no real discernable context makes it hard to consider this article to be kept. Mo0[talk] 00:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete googling says it's linked to Dragon Riders (who knew). But the list seems to be trivial. - Bobet 01:10, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Eragon or Inheritance (trilogy). You guys got the wrong book series, even though the word Eragon appears in the first sentence. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List_of_songs_published_as_live_versions

This list would simply be absurd. You would be talking about tons and tons of albums. Live versions of songs, except in certain cases, are not extraordinary. It is rather the norm to have a song be released live. The scope of this list would just be so immense that it would simply be useless. THollan 16:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete useless and unmaintainable list. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete useless listcruft. Especially unmaintainable now that many bands/solo artists "publish" (to use the term in the article) all of their live concerts, sometimes the CDs are even available right after the show then sold over the web. I know Metallica does this. --W.marsh 17:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of villains

Due to the amount of literature created it isn't very logical to make a list of villains with no restrictions. Maybe a list of evil mythologycal cratures, a list of Disney, DC Comics, Cartoon Network or whatever company villains, a list Famous Villains of Classic European Literature or even a list of historical characters considered as villains by most people; would be logic, but mixing all of them in one same list is not very smart. It looks dumb! 201.144.142.8 09:33, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, if the list is divided as suggested by the nominator each subpage would still have to be linked from the top. Kappa 11:31, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong categorify and delete. This is an absolutely hopelessly unmaintainable list; categories are designed to handle very general groups like this. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 11:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • So users shouldn't even know what work of literature they belong to? And villains in merged articles should be unacessible? Kappa 19:01, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Either method will be incomplete. I err on the side of incomplete that doesn't involve the waste of time spend maintaining an overly broad list. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 19:05, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't think that "waste of editors' time" is one of Wikipedia's criteria for deletion. And a good thing, too — that's a hopelessly POV standard, and many legitimate articles would be threatened by it. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
        • This isn't an article; it's a navigation tool. All of this information exists elsewhere on Wikipedia, so no information is being lost, merely this particular unwieldy arrangement and expression of that information. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 19:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
          • Kappa's point still stands — even regarded as a navigation tool, this list presents information not available in a category. Why not keep the list, on the principle of belt and braces? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:08, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
          • I'm disappointed that you'd want to forcibly prevent editors from "wasting their time", and simultaneously waste much user time and wikipedia bandwidth by making navigation harder. Kappa 00:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
            • This is inelegant and has no hope of becoming elegant. This is incomplete and has no hope of being complete. This list has far too broad a scope to ever have a significant amount of commentary. It is a failed navigational tool. I respect that you disagree, but I don't see how it's inappropriate to "force" editors to not work on navigation tools I don't feel help Wikipedia as a project, and I don't think any list so hopelessly broad to encompass both Pontius Pilate and Scarface from All Dogs Go To Heaven is useful to Wikipedia as a project. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 06:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm honestly trying to understand the unmaintainable argument - has it not already proved its maintainability? It's been a year since the last vote, and the page has improved, not gotten worse, since then. Turnstep 23:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep as it appears that a whole lot of work has gone into this and it appears that the maintainer has made this as comprehensive as possible. Jtmichcock 12:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keepkeep - these are the things that make wikipedia special. And useful! I already used it to look for names of shakesperean villans. If the IP wants to go ahead with the splitting s/he has my full support. But not delete! muriel@pt 12:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Split and Keep. This article is FAR too big and too generic for one list. I find it hard to believe that Pontius Pilate (Bible) and Mr. Burns (The Simpsons) have anything in common that should keep them on the same list. Additionally, the page is already 91kb in length and bound to grow exponentially. ♠DanMS 16:53, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • They both habitually rub their hands, you know. ;) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:48, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Some lists are just too stupidly vague and all-encompassing to exist, and this is one of them. Where do we draw the line? A list of blondes? A list of people? A list of lists? wikipediatrix 17:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This article survived a call for deletion approximately one year ago. Turnstep 17:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This page has undergone lots of editing and cleanups, and substantial effort by myself and others to keep it NPOV. As far as I know "It looks dumb!" is not a valid deletion criteria. A category would not be relevant, as not every item listed has its own page (nor should it). Turnstep 17:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and categorise. Absolutely textbook category situation. Lord Bob 19:06, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and split, possibly into "List of fictional villains" and "List of historical figures portrayed as villains in fiction". I don't see that the nominator has established a legitimate reason for deletion, and as others have said, a fair amount of work has gone into it. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:24, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Split and Keep as above (or somehow). --InShaneee 19:46, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• (Split vote) Keep only the section about Historical Figures as villains, which at least has a strong criteria. Delete the fiction villains section that could potentially have thousands of names; unmaintainable and way too broad. 23skidoo 19:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but split entrants into sections like List of people. Add a disclaimer at the top noting that villiany could be subjective. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 20:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Categorize the top bit which is sorted alphabetically. Split and keep the stuff on the bottom. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it's fine --TimPope 21:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; arbitrary, inherently POV, unmaintainable list. MCB 19:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and possibly re-categorize It is a good navigation tool. CUrrently a bit sloppy, but that could be fixed by re-categorizing things. Just please do not delete, as many people use this list.
• Keep, there are enough redlinks that I don't think transitioning solely to a category system would preserve all the information. Perhaps split the article up into lists based on genre, though, to make the size a bit more manageable. Bryan 04:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Suspected self-promotion - the article originated from Florida, the subject has connections with Florida.

Short bio of a fictional character from a Swedish-language programme.

[edit] Niki Ashton

This article was previously speedied under CSD A7, but it was overturned and is now listed here for discussion. No vote Titoxd^(?!?) 22:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Sure looks like vanity to me. Talking about a group she started in high school?? Come on now. However, if she wins the election, possibly there will be verifiable information about her. Can anyone comment on how important a politician she would be, if she won? Unless someone provides evidence of verifiability and significance, I'd say delete. Friday (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for now. Smart young lady with an impressive CV (all the claims in the article are repeated in her bio on the linked site, so I assume we could verify them if we tried), but I'm not sure she's achieved anything that meets WP:BIO yet. Let's come back in five or ten years when she's started her career properly and see whether there's anything to write about then. — Haeleth Talk 23:07, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Doubt this is vanity. This is in the news because the current MP recently quit the NDP caucus over her repudiation due to the same sex marriage bill (see [18]). If she wins, keep her, but for now I suspect she and Desjarlais will split the NDP vote and the Grits or (possibly) Tories will come through. Dottore So 23:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• This news article verifies that she is running for political office. She is running for the House of Commons for the Churchill Riding against the incumbent and at least one other. The House of Commons has 308 members - making it similar to the US House of Representatives. The electoral district itself has only 48k voters making it, I believe, one of the smallest districts in Canada. According to our own article, it can take as few as 50 signatures to run for this office. Taken together, those factors indicate to me that merely being a candidate for this office is not sufficient. Niki Ashton is already mentioned (in greater detail) in the section on elections in the Churchill (electoral district) article. If she wins the election, I believe she will qualify under the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. As a candidate, I do not think she yet qualifies. Delete but without prejudice against re-creation if she is elected. Rossami (talk) 23:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep if it can be NPOV'd; otherwise delete as vanity. It seems she won nomination by a notable political party and is not just a student politician FRS 23:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I realize she's up for a serious office. The reason I suspected vanity (and still do) is the mention of some group she started in high school. I see that she's currently (slightly) verifiable, but I still feel she's not very significant until she actually wins an important election. Friday (talk) 23:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand -- credible, major-party candidate for national legislative office, passes WP:BIO. -- Mwalcoff 02:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I am not sure if any of the keep votes come from Canadians, but I have to doubt it. The NDP is a national party, but let's be honest: in the VAST majority of ridings, they are no-hopers and should not be considered notable, per WP:BIO or anything else. The notability of this story comes from the same-sex marriage issue and the expulsion of Bev Desjarlais from caucus. Since the Liberals have recruited star candidate Tina Keeper [19] (from North of 60 blech), the likelihood of Ms. Ashton's winning, what with Desjarlais committed to stand again, is roughly, although not precisely, nil. A redirect to her father Steve Ashton, who is a provincial cabinet minister (and which may be related to how she managed to secure nomination form the riding association in the first place), might work if one is really bent on retaining something. Dottore So 17:52, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I might agree with you in many ridings, but the NDP won this one last time around. Plus, I don't want to be in the business of determining where the party has a chance and where it doesn't. -- Mwalcoff 03:32, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Winning the nomination was a noteworthy accomplishment. CJCurrie 22:40, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

There is so little to go on about her, that people have included such mundane information as her extra-curricular activities while in school and portions of her election platform from her website. If people want to know about that stuff, they can go to her website, rather then wasting an article on her that does nothing more then parrot what she has already said about herself. Perhaps an article listing all the federal ridings in Canada, plus each ridings party candidates coupled with links to their respective campaign websites would be in order. That sounds fair and unbiased for the other party candidates who have achieved the 'noteworthy accomplishment' of winning their nomination bids. Sub-Arctic 00:57, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

The article said that "a Pomparius" is the most wonderful person in the world, and everyone admires him, with then a "see also" to "Nicholas Ortiz" (which seems like it needs to be here, too).

[edit] Progressive Boink

This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 14:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete If this page stays, we might as well have a page for every website on the internet filled with private in-jokes, insults directed at others and pretentious 'hilarious' fake webpages. Have you any idea how many that would be? This site offers nothing that you can't find anywhere else.Mammal Nitrate
• Delete I can put the word "lesbian" on a website and get thousands of hits via Google too. AMAZING! XavierVE
• Delete I have to agree with Haeleth. The fact that the site is clearly using this entry as a way to get themselves off seals this one as a DELETE. CSendak
• Delete Aside from the way the entry is advertising the site, the write-up itself stinks. It pretty much outlines the pointlessness of the submission with its total lack of content. Unlike the X-E/Seanbaby entries, it just SOUNDS like someone blowing their own horn.
• Delete, Alexa ranking 74,327, 22 rated sites linking in. Sounds pretty non-notable to me. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 14:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. PB gets over 16k google hits for "progressive boink," has recievied tens of thousands of page hits for many of their articles (like the "rating the lesbians" series), and features like The Dugout have recieved a decent cult following. Plus, it's a spinoff/replacement for Whatever-dude.com, an X-Entertainment-style e/n site that I believe was fairly popular back in the day. Article still needs significant cleanup ('ve already tried to do a little, but I've been away for a few days and will continue), and I'm fairly certain that authors of the website created this article, but it is a notable website that should be kept. Also, original nominee, on article's talk page, nominated for the following: "I am recommending this for deletion, it's a pretty sad excuse for an article." Worth noting. --badlydrawnjeff 17:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I searched for link:progressiveboink.com and got 185 hits. That seems low for something as widespread as is claimed. link:progressiveboink.com -wikipedia gets exactly one hit, as does link: -site:. What am I doing wrong here? - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 13:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Interesting, I suppose. I admit to being possibly the worst googler in existence, I've never heard of that. For the sake of discussion, "link:x-entertainment.com" gets 275, dropping to a whopping 9 when "-wikipedia" is added. It's apparent I'm the vocal minority here, but I'm honestly surprised at the amount of opposition on this one. Perhaps I just know a lot of people who read it, or simply remember it better when it was whatever-dude. --badlydrawnjeff 14:47, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. On the one hand it doesn't seem to meet WP:WEB; on the other hand I've actually heard of this site, unlike many that do meet WP:WEB. On the third and ultimately decisive hand, however, they've got a link to "Progressive Boink's official Wikipedia entry (Humor us while we talk about ourselves, please.)" on their front page, and that earns them a big black mark for vanity. — Haeleth Talk 18:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Not to play the "but but" game, but notable sites like X-Entertainment do not meet WP:WEB either, and that proposal should keep that in mind. And yes, the site does appear to have written itself, and I've already done some cleanup to rectify the apparent advertising, and hopefully we can vote with what's in the article in mind. --badlydrawnjeff 18:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep I've seen worse articles and things far less notable on Wikipedia. Sure, the article may have been started by staffers of the site the article examines, but it is not as if they are vainly watching over it hawk-like in Pro-Boi propoganda manner. It is a rather popular website, notable enough for Wikipedia, and has no reason to be deleted. Cleaned up, maybe, but a delete would be just plain malicious. 71.131.66.179 05:22, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reba McLane

This is an article about a major Character in Red Dragon. One problem is that it's basically duplicate content of the Red Dragon and Manhunter articles (any content that isn't already in those articles will be by the time I've finished with them). A bigger problem is that her name's not Reba McLane - it's Reba McClane. There may be an argument for moving the content to Reba McClane, but I'd favour redirecting Reba McClane to Red Dragon.

(I also posted {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} as an alternative, but I really think that it strains the credibility of Wikipedia to pay this much attention to a school team. --Nlu 03:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Highly non-notable, though I won't oppose a merge. (Aside: I've always thought the burden of notability for school articles should be on the creator.) Deltabeignet 04:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I think the burden on why something should be included always lies with the creator no matter what the subject of the article is. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, even though I graduated from there. To us graduates, that football team is most definitely notable; it's basically the pride and joy of the school. However, the football team is the pride and joy of hundreds and hundreds of high schools. This one, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't stand out. Mo0[talk] 09:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, and not a football team for that matter, you silly Americans. --Last Malthusian 11:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge' with Robinson Secondary School. Kappa 11:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn, agreeing with nom.
• Merge to the school. At least that way the school article is one of the few that gets expanded. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to the school as per Kappa, obviously.--Nicodemus75 16:14, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with the school. Jasmol 00:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to James W. Robinson Jr. Secondary School. ColumbusCrew29 00:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or baring that Merge with the appropriate school.Gateman1997 21:35, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, do not merge. Not notable (as well as the school).  Grue  18:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SchMutzStaffel

Seems to be a vanity article by a band that doesn't appear to meet the music standards. Nothing I could find at allmusic, and google wasn't terribly enlightening. Their website has 3 downloadable songs, and that's it. -R. fiend 03:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scienticity

I checked this out and found that there are a good few hits for scienticity, but the majority of them make no mention of Donald Black, and those which do are mainly publicising him and his lectures and publications. I can't make out whether this is vanity masquerading as science, a genuine article which exaggerates the importance of one person, or genuine. The anonymous user Special:Contributions/24.75.97.69 has contributed to only two articles, this and Social space which also claims to have been originated by Donald Black, which article also credits him with having "invented" several concepts which, to my untutored eye, look to have been around for a long time. His web page at the university where he teaches does not make such claims. This article reads to me like original research, but I really can't make up my mind whether I am just being over-sceptical because of the gratingly effusive style of the various Black articles. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 12:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Slim K

No articles in the main namespace link to it. Google returns less than 1,000 results. --Ixfd64 08:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, passes WP:MUSIC if the article is correct. Kappa 11:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strangely unverifiable given the degree to whcih notability is asserted. From Handel und Hanse [22]: SLIM K., Gewinner der Rudi Carrell Show. Er ist in Tunesien ein großer Popstar und kehrt ... mit seinem neuen Programm zur Handel & Hanse in die Hansestadt zurück. However, beyond winning the contest on the Carrell show, there is little to suggest that he really is much more than an extra in movies and a Michael Jackson imitator. I can find no references to his being a Big popstar in Tunisia. Also google searches on Slim K with terms like Rudi Carrell [23], Musiker [24], Popstar etc turn up very few hits. Delete therefore, pending evidence that this is more than just a vanity/promo page, either self-written (likely) or by an agent. At the very least, it needs to be wholly rewritten.
