Smells like a hoax. Posted with {{cleanup-verify}} 10 days ago, and no verification has been supplied. Google search for "Alan Mcilwraith" produces only 27 hits, none of which (except for Wikipedia and mirror hits) appear to be relevant.

[edit] Alex Makin

This page should be deleted. It is created and edited by the person that it is about. The only reference to him on the internet is his own web page that he created.

vanity vanity vanity: delete --202.158.212.34 03:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Well...delete. But only for the reason that he appears non-notable by WP standards. His contributing his own article does not neccessarily mean that we have to delete it. Nor does the heavy "editing" done by you, User:202.158.212.34, mean that we should keep it. Posting "Makin is a narcissist" on the page looks an awful lot like an attack. But whatever. Googletest does not bring up much and it sounds like he is involved in a minor municaplity role, without making much of a splash on the big picture. —Gaff ^ταλκ 04:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep I am a resident of Melbourne's outer East, and I do not believe that this article is vanity. Alex Makin is a publically known activist- just a couple of days ago I was reading an article about him in the Age, the most respected newspaper in Melbourne [1]. He is also mentioned as a key player in official parliamentary hansard [2], showing that he does not necesssarily need to be elected to be notable. This shows that there is far more to Alex Makin's public profile than his personal website (Crazyandrew 08:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Alternative terms for free software

This is just a thinly veiled attempt to merge a series of FOSS articles without consensus. It's a duplicate of content that already exists in the other articles. One reason cited to create the article was that the other articles were POV, but that's not a valid reason to create a new article. The title of the article itself is POV, as many would disagree that one is necessarily an alterntive term for the other. Nathan J. Yoder 16:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Nathan J. Yoder 16:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I beg others to check what Njyoder is saying. The talk page for the article never says anything about other articles being POV. The Talk page says that this article is a consolidation of other articles, so yes it currently duplicates info on those articles. The reason for creating this page is that the other pages duplicate a lot of information (sometimes with inaccuracies, and those differ from article to article), and a secondary issue is that quality of the other pages seems to suggest that have few wikipedians caring for them (and this is a situation which has not been changing over the years) - merging to one article would combine their efforts. I plan to suggest a merge of the articles in question, when I've finished making this page. On the issue of POV, which has not been raised by me, but since it has been raised by the person requesting deletion of this page, combined efforts will bring more eyeballs to this page and more eyeballs should lead to less POV.

The articles which I've suggested merging into this article are libre software, FLOSS, FOSS, and OSS/FS. There may also exist others (of lesser size / of less known terms). Each is an alternative name for free software. Some can be thought of as an alternative name for "both free software and open source software", but, "open source software" is, by definition, an alternative name for "free software" [3]. So I maintain that this page and it's name are accurate and would be an improvemet over the current situation. Finally, I would like to note that I only started this article a few minutes before it was suggested for delection, and I have commented that it's not yet ready, and I have continued to improve it since. It is therefore a work in progress (although a good one, IMO) and can of course me modified by anyone. Gronky 17:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

You said: " Current pages for such terms are fairly thin, and go through phases of being biased." Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'biased' means POV. You've conceded that you've done a unilateral merge without consensus. The names "open source" and "free software" are associated with philosophies and movements as well, they're not just definitions for licenses, so it's misleading to classify them as that. Nathan J. Yoder 17:14, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

They go through phase of containing POV. POV isn't a persistant problem, but consistancy is a persistant problem. It appears that not many people are caring for these pages, and when edits are made it's by one person and it an go weeks or months without review. Also, I have not done any merge - not unilateral or multilateral. I have made a page which I hope will reach (or has already reached) a quality and usefulness where I can propose it for a merge. The philosophies put forward by FSF and OSI are indeed different, but this does not make FLOSS different from free software. Gronky 17:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

So you admit you brought up POV then. You did merge the content, you took it from the articles and you stuck it in this one. That's called merging, it seems like the only means you have to counter my argument is some very weird semantic argument using a bizzare version of English that only you speak. And the philosophies are different, which means the associations between the terms are different, which means you can't just blindly substitute one for another as an "alternative." Meanings of words go beyond just what they are formally defined as. For example, the dictionary definition of "propaganda" is benign, but anyone who speaks the language knows it has an obvious negative connatation/meaning attached to it. And the idea that some of the terms are alternatives to others implies a certain inferiority as well. Nathan J. Yoder 01:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

"Merge" is a wikipedia term, as well you know. It means, approximately, to stick on a tag that suggests replacing many articles with 1. My page is not a merge. On the word "Alternatives", I've already agreed to remove the word. And you know this too. To steer clear of philosophical implications, in the article I try to talk about software "that is covered by the names discussed in this article". I can't think of a fairer method than that, and now that you've advertised this on the open-source software Talk page, that one side of the debate can contribute to the article if they feel there's misrepresentation. It's a wiki, the community can fix it. Gronky 10:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

He left out that he also suggested merging open source software as well. Nathan J. Yoder 17:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I did not suggest merging open source software. I said "Ideally, open source software should also be merged into this, but if the maintainers of that page want to continue as a seperate page, that's what'll happen." - i.e. I will not do a merge of open source software, and I may not even suggest it, but I will mention this page on the Talk page of open source software, and if they want to merge in, that would probably be good (but it's up to them, and I say "probably" because that debate is not for today and I don't have a firm stance on it) Gronky 17:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

That was obviously a suggestion, stop trying to back out of it by arguing semantics. Nathan J. Yoder 01:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, regarding the nomination, I just noticed another false criticism. This is not duplicate content. It contains some duplicate content, but if you read the article there is plent of new stuff in there. (Stuff that would be silly to put in each terms page since that would be more duplication, and stuff that can't fit in each term's page because it deals with how the terms relate to eachother.) Gronky 19:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

What content ISN'T a duplication? Nathan J. Yoder 01:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

The Definitions and meanings section and the Licenses section are both new. Other new bits are included throughout the article. And I'm still working on the article (although slower than I had hoped - due to being busy). Gronky 03:53, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

They're new sections with duplicated content from other sections. The types of licenses covered, the history of the definitions/terms, the attempted registering of the trademark and so forth are all covered by the other articles. You're still using semantics to twist things. It's disingenuous to suggest that because other articles haven't used those specific headers that the content in those sections is new. I also noticed that you're already POVifying the article, trying to portray the term "free software" as if all they did was co-opt the term and renamed it (like they were just some copy cat movement), ignoring any kind of philosophical and pragmatic disagrements. Nathan J. Yoder 04:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Those sections are not duplicate content. Read them. Some other articles might have sections with the same section title, but the analysis and comparison and the facts were researched by me. Gronky 10:24, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I have read them, I'm asking which part of them is new content, please quote something. Nathan J. Yoder 19:33, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I feel I'm being set up here - as if you're asking me to pick one sentence so that you can pick at it and ridicule it. Well here's one anyway. You asked to be shown "new content", so please, evaluate the newness only of this - I'm not saying every word is perfect, it's not a finished article:

While the term "free software" is mostly associated with FSF's definition, and the term "open-source software" is mostly associated with OSI's definition, the other terms have not been claimed by any group in particular. This, however, has not lead to confusion since the definitions published by FSF and OSI are practically the same.

The bit up to the first comma is probably mentioned in an article somewhere, as is the bit between the first and second commas. The bit between the 2nd comma and the first full stop is new. The last sentence is also new, as far as I know. But, more than the newness of individual words, phrases, or sentences (and even if I'm not correct about the above, at least under the scrutiny you've been tracking me with of late), the arrangement of this information is new - rather than it being spread across multiple articles, each one with a different wording - here it is consolidated. It is undeniable that a non-zero amount of newness exists there - and you asked only for newness - so I think this is the conclusion on this issue. Gronky 21:46, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

So the entirety of the newness is you saying "the other terms haven't been claimed by anyone"? The last sentence isn't new, the other articles discuss similarity between the formal definitions. It seems to me that you'rearguing that it's new content based on the fact that you've rephrased and reordered some sentences, even though the information remains the same. Nathan J. Yoder 22:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Your first sentence (up to the question mark) implies that you agree there is something new. You asked for something new, I've shown you something new. The rest of your comment just confirms my stated suspician that you asked me the question for the purpose of ridiculing whatever sentence I chose. Gronky 04:02, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep Gronky 17:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Could you clarify? The nominator is clearly recommending deletion. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 17:31, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry "per nom" removed, I was refering to that I was also the poster of the above comment, that that connection was broken when someone replied to it. Gronky 17:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, a discussion of the various terms is useful, and it's nice to keep the discussion in one place. However, the nom is correct in that the title is POV, so perhaps rename to Free Software terminology (or something else avoiding the word "alternative"). — Lomn | Talk / RfC 17:31, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm certainly open to a change of name. I don't see "altenative" as being POV - but that could be just me. I think "Free Software terminology" changes the scope greatly. "terms for free software" would be good though. (the difference being that the latter says what the terminology is for, while the former says what it's about - which a hard to define relationship.) Another title I thought of was "suggested replacements for free software" - but FLOSS, FOSS, and OSS/FS weren't suggested as replacements, they were just suggested. "other names for free software"? Just "names for free software"? or "terms for free software"? Other suggestions welcome. Gronky 18:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete ~~because Richard Stallman will kick our asses if we don't~~ per nom. This really belongs on free software, if anywhere. Lord Bob 21:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the information belongs together in one article, but I will ask you to reconsider your vote because I think this article contains too much information to fit in a subsection of another page. Keep in mind that it was proposed for deletion only minutes after I started making it, so it's not yet as complete as it will be. For example, I hadn't written the Licenses section when this was proposed for deletion, but I think that's a good section now and it doesn't completely fit under the topic of free software. Gronky 22:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I certainly see that this article, as is, can hardly be put verbatim into free software because it's just too long. However, I personally believe that, if it belongs anywhere, a very much more concise list in free software would be best. We'd have to be pretty concise about it, but I think it would be best. Lord Bob 23:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I see where you're coming from. The list of terms can certainly be made more concise, and this is something that I plan to do (I just didn't get time to do this before an Afd suddenly appeared). I did the list first because it's the easiest, but I think the more important things are the bits I'm working on now such as the "Definitions and meanings" and the "Licenses" sections. If this article was just/mostly a list of names and blurbs about each, I'd agree that it should be merged - but please check back in a day or two and see where the article has developed to. One other thing, although of secondary importance, is that if this is put in the free software page, it will be maintained by the maintainers of that page - which wouldn't be as good for neutrality as a seperate article would be. Gronky 23:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Check back in a day or two? I will certainly be happy to do so and reconsider my vote in that context when the time comes. Lord Bob 00:02, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, my wikipedia time has been almost completely exausted by this Afd. Although I haven't been able to show the purpose of the page by writing it, information of my plans is in this here discussion, as well as the one on Talk:Open-source_software, and the one on Talk:Alternative terms for free software.

~~Merge~~ everything into, or at least direct traffic from: Geek naming controversies or similar category -- List_of_disputed_F/OSS_terminology, FLOSS, FOSS, Libre Software, Open_source_vs._free_software, GNU/Linux naming controversy...

The Talk page was not meant to indicate that. The page is not supposed to have anything about the "GNU/Linux" naming stuff, and it shouldn't have Anything Vs. Otherthing. It's not about controvercy or disputes. This is the history of the names that have appeared, the reasons for each name, the meaning and associations of each name, and other factual stuff. Emotional stuff is for another article. Pages such as List of disputed F/OSS terminology are terrible. Gronky 22:31, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like a great article. Perhaps history of free software terminology would be a perfect name. I'll abstain as this is much larger (and heated) than I am willing to dismantle. ∴ here…♠ 22:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: This AFD has now been advertised on the Talk page for open-source software (by Njyoder). I feel this may bias the sample of Wikipedians that enter this debate. (However, I will not retaliate/escalate this by adding similar advertisements to other articles.) Gronky 03:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

So add it to other articles, this needs to be voted on by people in all the relevent articles. Nathan J. Yoder 04:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

No, merges need to be voted on by people of all relevent articles. This isn't a merge, it's just a page. It will probably form the proposal for a merge when it's ready, but it itself is still just a page - and it would be nice if I could have gotten the proposal ready before it was thrown into AFD trials. Gronky 10:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok, you're right, AfDs shouldn't be voted on by the people who best understand the subject matter. You could have avoided this all by asking for permission first, don't complain about getting proposals ready when you move ahead with something without permission. Nathan J. Yoder 19:33, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

You could claim that you notified "the people who best understand" if you had notified all related articles, or even two or three of the most related articles, but you notified one. Ask for permission? For what? From who? This is getting crazy. Gronky 21:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I inserted it into free software after you complained too. You need to ask for permission from your fellow Wikipedians, because Wikipedia acts on this principle of consensus. When merging content, you start a discussion to ask if it's a good idea or not. Nathan J. Yoder 22:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I haven't merged anything. I had not added any merge tags to any articles, and I had not opened a dialogue on any Talk pages about merging. I wanted to try something out, and if it went well, I would probably propose it for a merge. Gronky 03:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bush on the Couch

The article is an inaccurate summary plugging a nn 272-page book that was the only book written by this author. The book itself was written in early 2004. To say that the book was not exactly a best seller would be an understatement. Joaquin Murietta 14:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge opinion to George W. Bush, as there has indeed been speculation about his drinking habits on a wide scale in the past couple of years. Recently, there was an article about the issue in some tabaloid (Star or what have you). Granted, they are speculations only at this point, I think, but we can insert the information about said speculation in a NPOV way. This article itself, however, is unnecessary. --Jacquelyn Marie 18:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Weak Keep... book made some waves when it was published before the election. I don't set the bar on books as high as best-seller list. Is there criteria like WP:MUSIC for literature? I'd concur with Jacquelyn Marie if it wasn't for the constant POV edit war over there at George W. Bush... Bush on the Couch would be giving them gasoline and matches. Regardless, I'd slap a dated cleanup on this article becuase if it is kept it needs a complete rewrite.--Isotope23 18:33, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

keep Disclaimer: I wrote the text that another wikipedian has described as POV, and an inaccurate summary.

I think the book is notable, even if it didn't make any best-seller lists.
I think we need to recognize that there is a difference between an article that is POV, and an article that reports on a book, whose contents are POV. Articles on books that are POV are not necessarily POV themselves. If the article is NPOV it clearly belongs on the wikipedia.
If a book is notable enough to belong on the wikipedia, but the contents are agreed to be POV, then surely the next step is to rewrite it, or to add a {npov} tag?
The person who nominated this for deletion put a note in the talk page that the article was an "inaccurate summary" of the book. I haven't read the book. But I have read several articles about it. I believe the brief summary in the article accurately reflects what the articles and reviews of the book said the book contained. Here are some reviews from across the political spectrum.

The inner W, Salon, June 16, 2004
Book Review – Bush on the Couch, by Justin Frank, a review - Political Affairs, October 3, 2003
Shrinking the President: A mind is a dangerous thing to psychoanalyze, The Weekly Standard, September 19, 2004
Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, a review

Wikipedians can differ on how much credibility they allow Dr Frank. But the book was widely reviewed and is regularly quoted and cited. And that, IMO, makes it worthy of mention in the wikipedia.
As to whether the information about the book should be merged with the George W. Bush article... I think the wikipedia is better served with the information about this book staying in an article of its own. I gather that the GWB article is beset by unending edit wars. IMO the current contents are NPOV. And it will be easier to keep them NPOV if it is a standalone article. Or restore it to NPOV, if you disagree about it being NPOV now.
IMO standalone ancillary articles make the wikipedia easier to use than huge, monolithic, omnibus articles. -- Geo Swan 21:12, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

How can people vote in good faith if they say, I haven't read the book. But I have read several articles about it. ??? Joaquin Murietta 23:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's the whole point of the policy wikipedia:No original research. I don't have to report about this damn book. I have to report what has already been reported in reputable sources about it. Of course, reading the book itself might prove useful for writing an article, but definitely it is useless during voting: an opinion (read: POV) of a vikipedian about the book itself is irrelevant. mikka (t) 00:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Good point, in this case the person who said they did not read the book did write the article! Joaquin Murietta 02:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- My keep vote is not based on an assessment of the accuracy of Dr Frank's views, but on widely the book has penetrated the public consciousness. I have a google news alert on "Justin Frank". Over the last year it has generated, on average, more than one hit per week. That is not an enormous presence. But I think it is enough to justify an article. I remain curious what basis JM used to justify writing in the talk page that the article was an "inaccurate summary" of the book. -- Geo Swan 07:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I'm glad to answer that. Here is the article written by Geo Swan, without ever reading the book!'
    
    Bush on the Couch is the title of a book by psychoanalyst Justin Frank. One of Frank's main concerns of Frank's book is that President George W. Bush, as an untreated alcoholic, was in constant danger of a relapse. Further, in Frank's opinion, President Bush manifested the symptoms of a dry-drunk, principally irritability, judgementalism and a rigid, unadaptable world view. Defenders of President Bush have responded by challenging the value and scientific respectability of analyzing someone without a clinical interview.
    
    Maybe if you actually read a few books, Geo Swan... oh well. Never mind. Joaquin Murietta 14:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

My writing seem to serve as a red flag to a bull to JM.
Here is a new article JM started about an hour ago, which contains what I consider a personal attack, in violation of wiki policy.

[edit] Calchas Street

"Calchas Street is an as-yet incomplete manuscript by the British writer Alistair Davie", the article informs. The phrase "Calchas Street" itself gives no Google hits; the name of the author Alistair Davie gives one pertinent hit - the website of the British Arts Council informs that Alistair was awarded GBP 600 to support a manuscript reading to secure a literaty agent for his piece "Waiting Room". Alistair's name does not return any hits in the catalogue of the British Library.

As this is an unpublished work of an obscure author this entry should be deleted.

I know this person very well. She might not have enough google hits... but her name is not common. for example, John Smith could be the editor, and no duh it would have a lot of google hits. Are you aware she really was an editor. She represented New Edinburgh. Check the Wikipedia article on that. If you read the article on her, she did more than be an editor. She also got nomminated for ottawa's women award. Isn't that a big achievement? So keep the article, so more people can learn about someone local to Ottawa.
- I hate to say this anon user, but there are tons of article on folks from Ottawa who deserve them. Your person isn't encyclopedic. Besides, anon users don't get a vote. -- Spinboy 00:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

The only thing in the article that could meet WP:BIO is her editorships (being nominated for, but not winning, an award is below the radar, particularly for local awards). Anyone know the circulation figures for the New Edinburgh News and Manor Park Chronicle? They're both community papers. I happen to have the Kitchissippi Times (Hintonburg/Westboro) here, with a circulation of 16,700, so assuming that that's not exceptional for an Ottawa community paper I have to say keep. — mendel ☎ 20:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

  - Sorry, that was kind of ugly, wasn't it? I mean: Ok, per WP:BIO, the only possibility is her editorships. Assuming her neighbourhood papers have circulation like the neighbourhood paper of my neighbourhood, then she meets that, so keep.

The circulation for the "New Edinburgh News" is really high. The newspaper goes to some local embassies and goes to the Governor General and Prime Minister. Any other community papers that go to high power figures? Will in world
- It doesn't mean they read it. And that would only make the paper notable, remotely, not this person. -- Spinboy 20:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete; the paper might deserve an article with a circulation figure like that, but that doesn't extend to its editor unless she's done more than just edit a community newspaper...like, has she been a columnist in the National Post or the Ottawa Citizen? (Tangentially, I'm personally curious to know if she's at all related to k-os, but that knowledge wouldn't actually change my vote.) Bearcat 22:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe in 100 years, there will be many editors of this paper and they need to be remembered.

She was a diplomat, mother, newspaper editor, activist. Does she need more than that? Will in world

Tremont30 is not a sock puppit of me. Just to clarify that. Keep this article for one of the other reasons why... She was the first editor of those papers to start the layout electronically. She also interviews Adrienne Clarkson, a huge achievement for a local community editor. Can you name anyone else? Carolyn is knwo across New Edinburgh that a majority a residents in New Edinburgh were saddended tha she was leaving. If you keep this article, more people can learn about her. A lot of musicians weren't known until they died. Just keep that into consideration. Will in world

She was the first editor of those papers to start the layout electronically. This is not a criterion that makes her notable. If she'd been the first newspaper editor in the world to ever use electronic layout, you'd have a point, but being the first one at a specific local community paper simply isn't encyclopedia-worthy.
She also interviews Adrienne Clarkson, a huge achievement for a local community editor. This is not a criterion that makes her notable. Lots of people have interviewed Adrienne Clarkson over the years; it's not a feat that automatically makes someone deserving of their own article.
Carolyn is knwo across New Edinburgh that a majority a residents in New Edinburgh were saddended tha she was leaving. This is not a criterion that makes her notable to anyone outside of New Edinburgh. This is a worldwide encyclopedia, not the encyclopedia of New Edinburgh.

Bottom line: nothing you've said makes her notable enough to be on here. Bearcat 02:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe she was the first on to start the layout electronically. Do you know anyother papers that started their layout before 2003, most likely but you don't know.A lot of people who interview Adrienne Clarkson are mainly people who work for big papers, but is it really often for a person working for a community paper? Can you answer me that? Maybe she is not known, but maybe in the future she will be known. Her husband works for the Canadian Foreign Service, maybe their will be an article on him, and might need one on his wife. So instead of looking at the present, think about the future. There are a lot of articles on wives of famous people. Also, (i know i told you this), but read the article. She is a diplomat, mother, activist, defender and newspaper editor. Does she more than that to get on to Wikipedia? Tell me. I really want to know.

Will in world

Do you know anyother papers that started their layout before 2003, most likely but you don't know. Um, I personally worked at a newspaper that was using electronic layout in 1994. And, ironically enough, it was in Ottawa, which means Carolyn's paper wasn't even the local leader in that regard, let alone a worldwide one. It wasn't even a particularly radical new approach when we did it.
Does she more than that to get on to Wikipedia? Yes, she does have to do more than that; she has to be notable, for one. Bearcat 23:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete, non-notable musician. — JIP | Talk 08:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep for one of top places, entertainer followed by many in public, ongoing appearance, national tv show, and precident. He easily qualifies under WP:BIO "television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions". Under WP:MUSIC "Has been prominently featured in any major music media". The show itself is part of "major music media". --rob 09:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- A runner-up in a national Idol series is a very liberal application of "promiently featured in major music media," and that WP:BIO criterion is rarely interpreted to include people who appear on game shows. As I recall, articles on runners-up in Survivor and American Idol (which, unlike Australian Idol, are broadcast internationally) are almost always deleted. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 09:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  - AFD results have changed. Quite a number Idol finalists have been kept (or often not nominated, based on acceptance). Generally those outside the top 10 have been kept out. If you re-read the nomination, the current version of the article in question, the show article, the person's web profile, the show web site, do a google on him, look at more recent AFD precident, you'll see it's a slam-dunk keep. Also, this is not a 10 minute appearance on price-is-right. --rob 09:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
    - I did all of those things and I still disagree. (Anything that isn't an obvious {{nn-bio}} candidate I Google before nominating.)

The term "television personality" is generally not used to refer to the latter. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 09:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
      - I suspect you're using the criterion of who is *worthy* of notability, and not who has generally been found to be notable. Wikipedia shouldn't be picking who it thinks is worthy of notability. Rather, if somebody has been widely found to be notable (media coverage being one factor), that means there is a) sufficient sources of reliable information to make a good article and b) sufficient number of people with an interest to read and edit the article. The fact any of us don't think they "deserve" it, is quite irrelevant. Your views on what a television personality is are a leftover of the 1980s, and no longer apply. --rob 10:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        I was applying WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, and AFD precedent in what I saw as a straightforward way, not making some sort of worthiness judgement. I'm wholly indifferent to Australian Idol or its contestants. I suspect keeping this article will mean it's a stub forevermore or filled with the sort of silly "contestant profile" trivia one finds on Idol fansites, however.

Keep. He's one of the remaining finalists and could still win Astrokey44 10:19, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. If he wins, he might in time become notable, but if Wikipedia has a page for every contestant (or even just every finalist) in every national variant of every "reality" TV show it will (IMO) rapidly become completely unworkable. Perhaps the best thing would be to merge all of them into a single article for each (national?) show; they can always be split out again if they do in future become genuinely notable. Past experience indicates that the majority will not. - Just zis Guy, you know? 12:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete, he's not notable yet. In fifty years, who would want to know who a reality TV contest is (or now for that matter)? -- Kjkolb 13:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment. From my understanding of the above arguments, the contest is still going on (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Wouldn't it have made more sense to have this debate after we knew whether or not he won? In any case, no vote right now, but I like the suggestion of putting all non-winners of a particular [countryname] Idol on a single page. --Jacquelyn Marie 16:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Trollderella: I see you vote this "Factual verifiable and neutral" over and over. Being those three things is great, but does not automatically warrant an article in an encyclopedia. This person is a third place runner up or something on a marginally notable television show that has not been around long at all. Flash in the pan. delete.—Gaff ^ταλκ 03:09, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Your assertion that "Factual verifiable and neutral" does not automatically warrant an article in an encyclopaedia is highly contentious to say the least.

"'fame' and 'importance' are not the right words to use, they are merely rough approximations to what we're really interested in, which is verifiability and NPOV"' (Jimbo Wales, 30 January 2004 (link)).

Indeed, several entrants in the first series qualified under WP:music by having hit records in the Australian charts.

Claims notability by being a film director but the article is a substub. After Googling the name, I found only 4 distinct hits, one of which is dead, and one of which is Nilsen signing at a Norwegian discussion forum. The only ones which seems to assert a slight amount of notability are these two which show him in 22nd place of a county ballot in the local elections of 2003. It is the ballot of a small party, Demokratene which didn't get any seats, and 22nd place is much further down on the list. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gloss (disambiguation)

Completely unnecessary and useless disambiguation. No one's going to reach it unless they actually type "Gloss (disambiguation)" into the Search box. 24.17.48.241 07:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep No big deal now, but as new uses come up, it would be more useful. Gloss is not, and should not be a disambig page, so a link to this is reasonable, even though there's just one laternate meaning right now (that I know of). --rob 07:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
~~Weak~~ keep. This article is linked from the main gloss page. If there are more than two plausible articles with the term "gloss", the disambig should definitely stay and those articles should be added to this page. If there are only two, we might satisfy ourselves with changing the disambig header on the gloss article to point to the alternate one. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

That's how it was when I nominated it--no link from Gloss, which just linked directly to Gloss (material appearance)[10]. Now it seems fine. 24.17.48.241 08:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment: There's now five uses, although only three would seem likely (lex,material,lip). So, that justifies a disambiguation page easily. The only question is whether to have Gloss or Gloss (disambiguation) be the disambig. Given, the large number of links directly to Gloss for the intendended meaning, I think the way things are now is fine. No changes are needed. --rob 07:43, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding the other uses, now it's a definite keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete... I know redirects are cheap, but this is apparently a neologism that has no life outside of this wiki article. All a redirect does is confer the appearance of some notability to the term where none previously existed... besides, who is going to wiki search a term that doesn't exist?--Isotope23 19:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Not a real word, not in real use, pure neologism, and perfect illustration of a word formed on a predictable numeric system (such as "septenquinquagintillion"). Such words are "not encyclopedic unless they are defined on good authority, or genuinely in use." Dpbsmith (talk) 23:24, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Is there a policy on deleting redirects? I defer to Dpbsmith. Uncle Ed 11:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what the policy is. Let me clarify that my vote is indeed "delete, do not redirect" and such votes are commonly accepted as valid AfD votes and which are acted on by closers. Common sense says that changing an article to a redirect should not magically protect it against deletion. The issue is not the "cost" of the redirect, but what course of action is most calculated to discourage the insertion of bogus material into Wikipedia. Leaving the redirect might be interpreted as an endorsement of the term and lead to the insertion of bogus material into the article. For example, someone might decide that "Googoloctodeciplex" belongs in the article and write something about it there, which might then lead to a table of bogus entries (Googolseptemdeciplex, etc.), which might get wikified, and the resulting redlinks might encourage creation of further bogus articles. Bogus entries are sometimes left as redirects specifically in order to discourage re-creation, and are sometimes even protectedm but I don't think this is appropriate here.

Keep. Wikipedia has lots of public-domain articles from US Government, 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, and other public-domain sources. See, for example Japanese art. Editors can edit as appropriate. Agree with Capitalistroadster that it should be wikified. Topic is encyclopedic. Factual nature of content is not in dispute. Attribution is clear. Fg2 07:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Move to Wikisource but Keep as a topic. I think there's no problem with having an article about Human Rights in Japan, it just needs to be in encyclopedic format and in someone's original words, not drawn straight from a gov't document. LordAmeth 10:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree it should be wikified (put in encyclopedic format). I also hope it will become something very different from a government document as people edit it. Maybe a way to view it is as being at the same stage of completion as a stub, but instead of starting from a sentence or a paragraph, it starts out as a government document.

Comment. This article uses material from another article, Paul A. Bonacci, which originally was a long, rambling, POV essay full of conspiracy theories about satanic ritual abuse, mind control, etc. I posted quite a bit on that article's Talk page, then edited that article severely to remove all the POV stuff. The author then re-inserted it; I reverted twice, then posted on his Talk page with a request not to re-insert the material. He then took the material and created the John DeCamp article, leaving only a wikilink to it on the Paul A. Bonacci page. Sigh. Needless to say it is no more appropriate or encyclopedic there than it was in the first article. That said, I think a case can be made for a keep for the article itself, in that John DeCamp is probably a notable person for his elected official status, and his involvement in a crusade of sorts about all this stuff. MCB 22:00, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- After reading the source above, and realizing that it is not just a forum post but in fact the verbatim copying of a Des Moines Register article, I feel that it needs to be dealt with as a copyvio primarily, have the material deleted, and then the article can be re-created, if desired, from original material. Therefore, I attached the copyvio tag and will follow up in WP:CP. MCB 00:19, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment - see also my comments in Laotian French article's discussion. According to the article itself, there aren't many of them (well under 20,000 in a country of over 30 million), but it doesn't really say much else other than they are Canadians of Laotian origin, which you can work out from the title itself. Not really sure where that gets us. Would prefer more info. --MacRusgail 09:01, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Laura Aguilar - Artist - Equine Trainer - Earthbound Goddess

Was listed as a speedy, but fails the criteria due to asserting notability as a painter. I can't verify her on Google (there is a notable Laura Aguilar, but that one appears to be a photographer born in 1959), so I suspect this is non notable nonetheless. Haeleth 21:00, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lexigraf

- Sorry people for making you feel that way. The whole approach was meant to present the inner workings of multilingual lexicographical projects and an approach to IT tools that need to be in place to get things done. To my knowledge the resources in this field are rather limited and a person that is looking for information about lexicography might be interested in an external link of this sort. And don't forget it was a research project.

It's advertising. The program is not actually well known or widely used. --Diderot 18:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, A google search found 1,660 search results from a few diverse sources, it seems quite well known to me. The article could do with cleaning up but should be kept --Amxitsa 18:51, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio from the page linked in the article: cleaning up is insufficient, the current text needs deleting, period.

Keep--if true, the contents of the article are clearly keepable ("ruled the Norwegian metal scene", 5 albums or so, toured Europe, etc.) The question is, do they exist? I think so. Here's their entry in the Norwegian band index; here you can buy their album from interpunk.com ("the ultimate punk music store"); here's an entry in the Music Information Centre Norway about them; here, their label is listed. Granted, it's pretty hard to find evidence for them, and there's no allmusic entry, but I think it's pretty conclusive that they do exist, and are therefore notable. Meelar (talk) 19:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. How are they non-notable? They clearly meet the WP:MUSIC standards ~~Delete as copyvio, unless someone rewrites this.

If there is uncertanity as to whether or not the band existed, try http://www.blitz.no/filer/musikk/index.html for a few samples of their music. Some of the members are now in the band Drunk, have a look at http://www.drunk.no/ and have a look at "Bio and Photos" in the menu, Life... But Hot To Live It? is mentioned there. I can also supply you a photo of all their CD/LP covers (as soon as the battery for my camera is sufficiently charged up).

I hesitate to nominate this because of its potential usefulness. However, I don't think it is appropriate material for Wikipedia. Wikipedia does not give medical advice and there could be legal complications of having such a document. User:Purplefeltangel/sig 02:33, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, this could grow into an interesting list, mostly on whether some countries have them and how different cultures view different things as crises. Do the French have a crisis line for people who are worried they're becoming fascists? That kind of thing. And this is not medical advice, and since no lawyer has complained, I can't see how we have any liability for listing a bunch of hotline numbers. Tempshill 03:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Jewish Fellows of the Royal Society

Strong Delete Once again, a case of listmania. In addition, there are many errors in this list, and in essence, just a group of repeated names.
Strong keep. Why do so many people want to delete lists of Jews? The fact that there are several such lists, many of which are frequently edited, shows that many in the Wiki community want them. If there are errors, let people correct them or at least flag the article for attention. If we deleted every article with errors in, where would Wikipedia be? Unlike the previous editor, I am happy to sign my vote.

Merge with Rosa Luxemburg, since it carries her name, is directly connected to her, and (I assume) basically just means a follower of her political beliefs. --Aquillion 01:43, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge with Rosa Luxemburg. Luxemburg was certainly notable. One person's "petty difference in opinion" is another's life struggle. This is no different than the political differences which have caused schisms in other political parties, just that it's within Marxism. - Sensor 01:59, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Your remark is good and all, only that I don't think that Luxemburg's was a significant schism. Certainly all people have different opinion, but to warrant an "-izm" one must have at least a notable group of followers or to become notorious: Bushism. mikka (t) 20:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: Well, we have gotten to the point where we're creating every album by any semi-notable artist. While interest may not be with religious books these days, over time there has been tons of exegeses about every single Bible verse (Qur'an too for that matter) and by people more notable (Aquinas, Augustine, Lewis, Maududi, Qutb) than all but a select few recording artists. I'm not advocating creating every verse of course, but I do think in perspective this is no less sane than creating albums when you have nothing more than an album box and a track listing. gren グレン 12:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment on comment: The articles on the verses in Matthew 4 are rather nice, because they not only quote the verse, but also explain its significance in various aspects and what people feel about it. This verse article, though, is nothing but a verbatim cite of the verse. Keeping it without expanding would set a precedent that everything in the Bible is automatically notable, regardless of whether anyone cares about it any more than anything other in the Bible, or of whether anyone actually has anything to say about it. It would feel like a pro-Christian bias to me. — JIP | Talk 14:08, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

On the other hand, we may eventually have to protect these, as there have been many. I don't suggest a blanket protection of the creation of all Bible verse articles (if that were possible, and it's probably not), however, because there are some particularily "notorious" Bible verses that people could write about. (And I bet there are some good ones out there. Perhaps someone could comment and show me one.) I am trying to think of what a user wants when they enter that search term. I wonder if a suggestion on the top of Bible about where to find a copy of the Bible online would help? --Jacquelyn Marie 15:59, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't Delete it. I am from Greenwood, SC, and the author of this article e-mailed me to tell me he had written it. I was at the concert mentioned in this article, and being from Greenwood, I can tell you that the Greenwood Jaycee Hut was actually quite a popular venue subsequent to Omar playing there. It should be noted that both Chip McKenzie and members of Elf Power were part of the Greenwood music scene that Omar was a pioneer member of. I think that this is a valid article, despite the fact that it may not appeal to a mass audience. Please see: http://www.flagpole.com/articles.php?fp=5543 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.216.113.2 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 20 October 2005.

How many people must an article be meaningful to in order for it to enter the Wikipedia? This is a factual article about a music group which was once quite popular with numerous people in the SC music scene in the mid-1990's. There certainly is a need for articles like this in the Wikipedia. True knowledge is true knowledge, regardless of the number of people who may be in search of it. Do not delete. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.88.74.66 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 20 October 2005.

It is not necessarily the number of people that determine notability. It is instead determined by WP:MUSIC, the wikipedia guidelines for music entries. And in my opinion, this band does not meet the requirements as set forth. -- Malo 21:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I disagree that Omar & The Spitmonkeys does not meet the requirements set forth by WP:MUSIC, please see requirement #6: "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city..." To people in New York or L.A., the most prominent member of the Greenwood, SC music scene of the mid-90's may not be a big deal, but Omar was important to a lot of people, and other bands, in this region at this time. If you ask people who were part of the scene, even today, to name the band that best represents the Greenwood Scene at this time, the answer will almost universally be Omar. I continue to think that this is a valid entry, that people may well look for, and enjoy, and find informative. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.216.113.2 (talk • contribs) 09:08, 21 October 2005.

Well if that were the case, don't you find it odd that the "most prominent representation" of their style doesn't return a single google hit. Given google is not the end all be all of knowledge or notability, but I still don't think that this band is the "Most prominent" their style, (remember "style" doesn't necessarily mean "scene"). Also please don't confuse popularity with notability. -- Malo 17:02, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

By invoking requirement #6 of WP:MUSIC, I wasn't attempting to argue that Omar was the "most prominent representation of their style" (though their improvisational comedic satire and tight focus on their immediate environment as sources of inspiration is not something I've come across anywhere else), rather I was putting forth Omar as the "most prominent representative of... the local scene of a city". I think that what I said above is true, if you ask anyone about the Greenwood, SC music scene, the first name that you will hear is Omar. I realize that being the most prominent representative of the music scene of a city that most people have never heard of is not like being the most prominent representative of Manchester, England; or even Athens, GA (to use an example closer to hand); but I don't think that the lack of size or current notoriety of a cities' scene should cause it to be ignored. Athens wasn't Athens until R.E.M. and the B52's (and later Neutral Milk Hotel) made it such. Just because Omar (and the other great Greenwood bands of that time, like the ones I mentioned above, and the J.J. Kids, Cumeadus, etc.) didn't put Greenwood on the map, doesn't, in my opinion, mean that the scene deserves no reference of its existence. I hope that Wikipedia is the place for that reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.216.113.2 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 21 October 2005.

As for Google, please bear in mind that this is a band that formed in the early nineties, and broke up pre-2000. I remember that they had a website while they were still active, but I imagine it folded around when the band did. Although the tiniest local band may have a web presence in this day and age, it wasn't necessarily so at the time when Omar was at the height of their popularity. I think that may explain why, despite the fact that Omar had such a loyal and rabid fanbase in their region, they don't show up as a result of a Google search today. Sorry to have gone on so long. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.216.113.2 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 21 October 2005.

Don't delete the Omar article! I was at the concert at the Jaycee Hut, and it really was a landmark performance for the Greenwood rock scene, many members of which have gone on to fortify the legendary Athens, GA music scene. Anyone who says that Omar & the Spitmonkeys is not a notable group is just being snobbish.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Omar_%26_The_Spitmonkeys" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nyrhtak55 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 21 October 2005.

All of this discussion about Omar & The Spitmonkeys has made me get out the old CD's and listen to them again for the first time in a few years. How dare you say this band is non-notable! As a teenager growing up in Greenwood in the '90s, Omar and the other bands of the scene meant so very much to me. The memories and emotions that came back while listening to the CD's made me think of a time and place that was shared by many people. Omar & The Spitmonkeys sold tapes & CDs, played concerts, and were well-known and loved in the local scene. As the Wikipedia grows and becomes more pervasive, people will search for Omar & the Spitmonkeys. Personally, I do most of my factual searches on Wikipedia first, not Google, so that I can hopefully find somewhat obscure articles. Do not delete this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.88.74.66 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 21 October 2005.

This concert was put on by Omar and the Spitmonkeys and began as a small one band show with only a few select guests. Once word spread that Omar and the Spitmonkeys were putting on a show, the entire Greenwood music community seemed to appear from nowhere and begged to play the Jaycee Hut with Omar. As an alternative to pop bands such as Eleven Day Trip or cover bands such as Dropchord, Omar's comedic satirical songs about relevant Greenwood issues brought out many Indie rock bands such as Shutter whose founding members are now the band The Disease on the Van's Warped Tour. So this article is factual, helpful, and deserving of being kept in place. Please do not delete this article. Big Dave the sound man67.76.97.57 17:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)DT

KEEP Well, being from Greenwood, I can attest to the accuracy of the article ...even if you did not like the music ...it is all true, plus the comments from other folks from Greenwood above. The band did exists, did play, and had a loyal following. The members have all gone on to different parts of the state/country/world, but the facts of the article are true.

I am also from Melbourne, and attended Monash University. It does appear to be a vanity piece, considering the same author appears to think he's worth including in a Monash University alumnus list from which he claims to have refused to accept a degree from. Besides, how can you claim to be avant garde when the very name of your work is derivative? Delete(unsigend comment from ISP User: 203.58.120.11)

Do you mean to say that you can't be avant garde if the name of your piece is derivative. That is utter twadle. The avant garde's function is to discard earlier forms. How better to do this than to parody them??? --202.158.212.34 04:22, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. nn.—Gaff ^ταλκ 04:10, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

To expand on my reasons for voting delete: this is an encyclopedia, not a place where up and coming young artists, writes, painters, play-writes will be published after getting one work onto a small scene where it impresses a handful of first-hand aquintances and the people in their immediate community. If Sai is in fact the next Van Gogh or Samuel Beckett, then he will make his way here eventually, but does not belong here now. THis is nothing against Sai Ho or his work, but he fails at this point to meet the criteria for notability as a playwrite to warrant inclusion here. Once his work has drawn enough attention that articles, books, etc are made about his life and work, then it would be reasonable for him to have an article here. Having produced one play that has drawn recent attention in the theatre community in in Melbourne area is justnot enough. My first article submitted to WP was on a good friend who was a philosopher, writer, incredible story teller. I wrote it not long after he died. He was a great guy, but the article was deleted. This article reminds me of that one. Sorry but he just does not meet the criteria for notability.—Gaff ^ταλκ 00:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm suggesting that the claims put in place by the author are somewhat unsubstantiated and appear nothing more than ego padding. You aren't supporting your argument by not addressing the point - 'avant garde' seems like a throwaway line especially since the summary seems rather formulaic. Admittedly the comment was flip, but I hardly think parody or misspelling 'twaddle' an avant garde artist make.

You are assuming that I am Sai Ho. I simply helped create the Sai page. Actually, as far as I know, he has no idea that the page about him exists. --202.158.212.34 05:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I don't think that Sai Ho's inclusion in Monash Alumni is particularly relevant to this page being a vanity article. I am a keen patron of the Melbourne underground theatre scene and he is a very active and well regarded theatre-maker. The very nature of an avant garde arts scene is not one of mass popular appeal, and it is absurd to delete this article because Sai Ho is not famous in the wider "Hollywood" sense of the word. Arguing about the spelling of words is also irrelevant to the claim that Sai Ho is not avant garde. The title "Clockwork Blue" is not derivative; it is using a literary technique called pastiche to draw upon other works, using them to create a "mish-mash" of new characters and scenes. It is an important element of postmodern literature, as it acknowledges the inescapalbe mass of discourse to which any new text is simply added. (211.28.129.240 05:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC))

Keep

It appears that many of the above comments are based upon the sands of misperception. No, I do not believe that the artist in question wrote the article about himself. I have met Mr Ho on a number of occassions at underground events (in Melbourne) over the past few years. He shuns publicity and the media -- information concerning his work is often attributed to aliases, which means that those who search for his name on the internet will be largely unsuccessful -- and, from my knowledge of his work, it would be beneath his artistic integrity to write such a piece about himself -- take the fact that he refused to graduate as evidence of this. I would strongly argue that this piece is entirely unauthorised, and hence should be acquitted of the charge of "vanity".

However, even if the writers of the previous comments deny this to be the truth (for how much does truth weigh when written on a computer screen?), and that, in some way, the artist was complicit in the article's writing (or, for that matter, any of the comments on this page, including the "twadle/twaddle" comment above), the article's value should still be apparent. If it were not for fora such as this, admittedly obscure, yet still culturally important works in the unwritten media will be lost for good.

Hence, I do not believe that this article should be deleted. But the complaints levelled at the article should not go unheeded. From my knowledge of the artist's work, the article is far from completion. I hence urge those unnamed forces at work behind it to finish their task, but to do so in a sanguine manner that puts forward the weaknesses in the artist's work as well, in the true spirit of the democratic quest for knowledge. We should accept that initial enthusiasm may later require adjustment and clarification, but it does not mean that we should remove its work for good.--130.194.13.102 05:41, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment Sorry, I feel that I need to write again in response to new comments posted. I can't take seriously the claims from Melbourne residents that Sai Ho is not notable as an artist simply because they haven't heard of him. He is an underground artist, not a game-show host. It is patently absurd for people who seemingly have no intimate connection with the fringe theatre and arts scene in Melbourne to claim that they know who is noteworthy simply because they live there. It's also common knowledge that avant gardists hardly achieve fame as their work is not considered to be popular and is socially challenging. As the arts scene stands in Australia, it is very rare for any artist to become even remotely famous, let alone those who produce work outside of social acceptance. You can't judge Sai Ho against big budget musical theatre productions and touring companies, because in reality they play very different roles within the wider umbrella of the Melbourne arts scene. Anybody with any credibility in their knowledge of art in this country is aware of this, and it would be a disgrace to Wikipedia to delete this article simply because Sai Ho does not appear in "TV Week". This is the sort of attitude that almost resulted in the works of Vincent van Gogh being lost to history- he could barely give away a painting, let alone become famous in his lifetime. I am not saying that Sai Ho is the next Vincent van Gogh, just that one of the great things about Wikipedia is that it allows for obscure yet highly respected social contributors to be recorded. (211.28.129.240 12:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC))

Van Gogh was not lost to history. Nor was he discovered by an encyclopedia. Sai Ho's work, if it is as importnat as you all suggest, will then get written about and noted elsewhere, in the alternative press perhaps only for the time being. Having published one play one year ago, dropped out of college, and acted in some community theatre does not a super-star make, even if he is brilliant beyond comprehension. Wait until he has garnered some acclaim and then submit the articel, with some references to back it up (maybe a list of newspaper articles about his work) rather than references to the theater where his play was put on.—Gaff ^ταλκ 00:38, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete as nn or too secret, take your pick. How can he be highly respected if he's obscure to the point that no one's heard of him? When he pulls a van Gogh and becomes famous after his death, we'll add him. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 13:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete vanity page. Look, I'm sure he's a very fine fringe artist, but if nobody's heard of him, he isn't notable. The only mentions of his 'A Clockwork Blue' I can find on Google are the audition advertisements for a single production to be given in a "student theatre space". No critical references, no reviews, no nothing. In Britain, even student theatre gets reviewed. Maybe Australia really is a philistine country where everything non-mainstream is ignored, but my Australian acquaintances have never given me that impression. Haeleth 14:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete, no original research thanks. Alphax ^τεχ 15:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment: According to the WP criteria for biographies, "Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is recognized as exceptional and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field" are merited inclusion. It is my honest belief that Sai Ho fits this description, and that his notability falls under the category of "cult following" also in the WP guidelines for biographies. It is a misinterpretation of my previous comment to say that nobody has heard of Sai Ho, he is a very respected man. And, in response to Haleth, there is some truth in describing Australia as "a philistine country where everything non-mainstream is ignored", or at least in reference to the arts. Although widely respect and posessing a cult following, many of this country's great artists, such as Sai Ho, do not recieve widespread popular media exposure. Also, the article is as yet incomplete, and there are other works to be added, and I do admit that the page requires some editing. I give my word that this is not a vanity piece!

Delete A Google search for "Sai Ho" play came up with 296 English results none of which related to him see [28].

A search of the Australian New Zealand Reference Centre which includes articles from News Limited, Australias' biggest newspaper chain through my Library's Reference Centre received one hit related to flood victims. A search of Macquarie.Net which includes Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Australian Associated Press came up with no hits at all. Melbourne Wikipedians have never heard of him nor have I as an Australian. This guy is totally unverifiable and if he exists is very non-notable . Capitalistroadster 17:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. Sai Ho's acheivements do not appear to be WP:V as far as I can tell. Based on the text of the article I see a guy who's done student theater and wrote a play. There is no verifiable information this play was ever performed anywhere. I wish Sai Ho luck in his endevors, but right now I don't see anything to set him apart from 1000 other struggling artists that have not yet acheived notability.--Isotope23 17:41, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment In my google search for Sai Ho, I found a media release [29] for Clockwork Blue, confirming that it was performed at Chapel off Chapel [30] [31], a prestigous and well-known venue in Melbourne seemingly of such importance that it features in newspaper articles about internal theatre politics [32]. News Limited produces mainly tabloids which steer away from any arts coverage except musical theatre. (Crazyandrew 19:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC))

maybe Sai Ho could be mentioned in an article on Chapel off Chapel among however many other talented up and comers in his community are writing plays. —Gaff ^ταλκ 01:21, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. While I can find a reference through Australian Google to the play being performed in August 2004, the results do not lead me to believe that Sai Ho should be included in wikipedia.

Comment, Please note that I am not attempting to sockpuppet this discussion, I have merely decided to sign up for a user ID after another member sent me a message inviting me to do so. I have previously posted on this discussion and have contributed to the article (IP: 211.28.129.240), and I do not claim to be a new user! Apologies if this has caused any confusion! As an aside, I am adding the information regarding venue in my previous post (confirming that Sai Ho is not merely a student performer) to the actual article. I also think that there have been some important points made here and I wish to improve the article, so I will try to add more information and links in the coming days.(Crazyandrew 20:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC))

The notability of the venue where his work was produced does not really rule him in as a notable figure. It might mean that he is talented and has a bright future, yet uncertain. WP is not a crystal ball.—Gaff ^ταλκ 01:21, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sean Baker

I nominate Sean Baker for deletion because it is essentially a non-notable, vanity piece about a fellow that filed a law suit last May against Rumsfeld and the US Govt. There is very little about Sean Baker in the article. The first version of the article had no sourcing whatsoever. I asked the author to clean it up and now it has several news articles as sources. One of those sources mentions that there is a pending motion to dismiss. Should every plaintiff that files a lawsuit against Rumsfeld have a Wikipedia article? Or should we wait to see what happens in his case. Joaquin Murietta 15:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

keep Disclaimer - I am not the person who started this article, although the person who listed this article for possible deletion thinks I am. The person who listed this article for deletion has made the effort to check out a number of articles I have contributed lately. I am happy to have my contributions vetted and peer reviewed by any wikipedian who can be civil and fair in their criticisms.
- IMO opinion Baker's case is significant because there has been a debate as to whether the treatment of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay by their guards is overly brutal. So, when a guard volunteers to act as a prisoner, in a training exercise, and is beaten so severely that he has a dozen seizures a day, this is a significant, verifiable fact that can play a role in the public forming their own decision over how much force the guards should use.
- JM, the lister, has been making unwiki personal attacks on my grammar, judgement, maturity and intellectual honesty, in addition to violating wiki procedures by nominating articles for deletion over their perception those articles are POV. See the article on Carolyn Wood, which they nominated for deletion, over POV issues, without even putting an NPOV tag on first, or stating any specific POV concern. -- Geo Swan 21:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SymmyS

I wrote this article about a form of poetry I invented. As far as I know, very few people other than me have written in this form, and it has only been published in a college newspaper. I didn't really think about/understand the implications of pushing my own bit of obscure poetry onto the wikipedia when I wrote this, but of course I see now that this is really promoting my own agenda (zany and noncommercial as it may be) and not creating encyclopedic content. Someone nominated this page for deletion long ago, and I agreed to it as well as everyone else, but it never went away... so here I am nominating it again. Unless some well-known poet, unbeknownst to me, picked up this form and published a book using it, I don't think this belongs on the wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas Mills Hinkle (talk • contribs) 11:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC).

Why is this being considered for deletion? There is no entry for "taverna" on Wikipedia at the moment - this should be a stub at least! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.106.176.209 (talk • contribs).
- The reason is that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is not an encyclopaedia article but (potentially) a dictionary entry. You might like to add an entry to Wikipedia's sister project Wiktionary. Flapdragon 00:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

(This article was nominated by Flapdragon, who apparently was interrupted or otherwise didn't finish the process). Anyway right now it's a dicdef. If the author of the above comment wants to write an actual stub, he should feel free --Trovatore 22:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Give me a chance guys! 213.106.176.209 was so keen to defend this article s/he got there before me and caused an edit conflict. Transwiki to Wiktionary. Flapdragon 22:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

~~No, it's not. Therefore delete rather than transwiki. Chick Bowen 23:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)~~
- I suppose what I meant was that it would be good to have an entry on Wiktionary for taverna, it's just not an encyclopaedia entry, but you're right that this isn't any use in its present form, and so I withdraw the transwiki vote. Delete. Flapdragon 00:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I am sure that an encyclopedic article could be created about this and its role in Greek life, cuisine and culture despite its current dictdef status. Capitalistroadster 01:22, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- No doubt, but that can happen even if the current article is deleted. I haven't seen much evidence that inferior articles on a topic promote the writing of good ones later on.

Weak delete. It's difficult to judge the notability, but the way this article is presented (there's a little splurge about the band and then a much longer section about the history of each band member) really makes it seem like they don't have much of a history and are just a typical bar-band.

[edit] The "Bush"-Whacked Administration

Feels like blog spam Secret london 14:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

It is not blog spam. I have gotten many requests from readers of our blog to make an entry on Wikipedia because so many of our readers use this website. We even have a link to Wiki on our blog page. There are also no ads on our blog and we do not earn any money from it. [37]--KMuniz 15:19, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete blogspam. Don't know how the "many requests from readers" have come in but as of this moment there's exactly one comment on all the articles shown on the main blog page. Not indicative of a large readership. —Wahoofive (talk) 15:38, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete... non-notable blog. Sorry if this hurts the bloggers feelings, but a blog has to be notable in some way to warrant an article. 0-4 posts in discussions per day, no mainstream media references, 57 hits on Google... almost no non-automatically-generated linkbacks... that just doesn't come close to the threshold for notability for me. --W.marsh 15:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. KHM03 17:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

'Sorry if this hurts the bloggers feeling'...nice, only a little insulting. How can something be notable if it can't be placed in an avenue that a lot of people view on a daily basis, I.E. Wikipedia. You place spam alongside advertising in your deletion policy, as I said, we do not earn any money from this site. It was created to be informative and generate discussion. Ans using comments to gauge readership is laughable...not everyone has the time to leave comments or want to leave a comment. The speed at which you decided to delete this page is incredible - have you ever considered leaving something online long enough to see if it generates any hits? And the comments from W.marsh are written in a very egotistical, self-satisfying way. --KMuniz 15:53, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

And just what is your 'threshold for notability' W. Marsh? --KMuniz 16:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not free advertising. The argument that "This page might be notable if Wikipedia publisizes it enough!" is not very good. I really am not going to get into a flame war here though... KMuniz is welcome to stick around WP and realize a handful of bloggers try this every day and meet with about the same response. --W.marsh 16:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

W. Marsh is taking things out of context as I was not implying that it should be advertising. And don't quote me if you are going to make up your own words - that's NOT a quote. The deletion policies for this website are convoluted and deceiving. 'Anyone can start an article', but only if it complies with the Deletion or Notable police.

Anyone can start an article. If other people disagree that it should have been started, then a debate ensues, and the person who started it gets the opportunity to explain why it should be included. This is the process we are undergoing now.

The problem is that this is an encyclopedia. You cannot add your blog to an encyclopedia just because you think it should have lots of readers, any more than you can add a word you made up yesterday to a dictionary just because you think it should be part of the English language. You need to find readers by other means: advertise on other blogs, or in web directories. Write posts that everyone tracks back to. Gain mindshare. When you're well known, we'll be queuing up to write the article for you. At present, however, your article falls into the situation where the vast majority of Wikipedia users will agree that it does not belong here. Therefore it is likely to be deleted, not because we're trying to deceive you or because we're a police state, but simply because you have mistaken Wikipedia for something it isn't.

Our policies for deletion often seem convoluted to people who haven't bothered to find out what they are, but they are perfectly straightforward. You have already been referred to our page on what Wikipedia is not: I draw your attention to the fact that it is "not a web directory". I will also refer you to our proposed guidelines for the inclusion of websites. This suggests that "an article discussing a website should be able to demonstrate that the website has had some impact on people beyond its core user base", and proposes a number of criteria by which this can be judged. Unfortunately your blog does not meet any of these criteria, so, until such a time as this ceases to be the case, the article should be deleted.

I'm sorry you've wasted your time in pursuit of a misunderstanding. Haeleth 16:43, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment KMuniz, I'm sorry your introduction to Wikipedia had to be this way. It seems to me that you created this article in good faith. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing that Wikipedia is for. I am also sorry that you had to come to AfD so soon -- Wikipedia is a very large site, gets a lot of contributions every day, and therefore has a large amount of these processes to go through.

[edit] The Clutchbone

Here are a couple of messages I posted to the discussion area of this article, requesting sources for the claims regarding the "Clutchbone". The authors have not replied.

Read them - I think they're pretty self explanatory as to why I think this article may be fraudulent.

/.../

Talk:The Clutchbone From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

To whoever wrote this article...

I am very interested in both folklore and cryptozoology/forteana, and the subject of the Clutchbone is completely new to me. I am curious about this, and I would greatly appreciate if you let me know what source(s) you have used for the article, plus any additional material that provides information on the subject. I am especially keen on learning more about this because of the statement that there have been alleged sightings in my native Sweden.

Kind regards,

Jonas Liljeström, Gothenburg, Sweden [edit]

Monika Zetterlund??? Sources please!

Again I must ask that whoever has written and/or edited this article provides some sources for it. I am particularly surprised by the claim that "some insisted" that the recent demise of Monika Zetterlund was caused by the Clutchbone. Who has made these claims?

I am a Swede and fairly well versed in folkloric matters (including postgraduate studies at Gothenburg University), so I'm quite surprised that I have never heard of this creature before.

I'm starting to suspect that this entire article might be an elaborate hoax and I'm considering the possibility of reporting it, so please respond and answer my questions! Normally I wouldn't take this matter seriously enough to ponder the possibility of requesting the deletion of the article - but when a hoax/joke begins to involve spurious claims about authentic deceased persons, it has gone far beyond decency.

Jonas Liljeström

Hi Jonas, I have no idea if this is a hoax or not, but I removed the claim about Monika Zetterlund. Wikipedia is not the place for speculations, and my personal opinion is that this is a rather distasteful one. If you consider it to be a hoax, please feel free to list it at Articles for Deletion. If you'd like some help with that, I'd be happy to help you. Regards, JoanneB 12:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. I burned my fingers the last time I tried closing a debate with a number of suspected sock/meatpuppets so I have made a more thorough check this time around. The author of the article gets to be counted as a valid keep vote, although s/he should be advised to read the deletion policy and WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine. The other keep votes come from the same IP and are most likely wither the same person, or friends, and such votes are disregarded; the "voting" system here is more about discussion, and one reason it is not a poll where all "votes" are equal is to avoid ballot stuffing. Against approximately 10 people wanting to delete, the consensus is clear. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:15, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes it is blatant promotion, of a generally unknown individual. A 'Tom Cruise' already has mass interest, so it's silly to even compare.
so mass intrest is the criteria for an archive of accurate information? I think at least a fair level of local intrest is enough for an article. This "Crabtree" may be the next Tom Cruise and the fact he may not or never be is no reason to erase the archive of his work.

and besides, how about comparing him to Milli Vanilli? you haven't answered that one(preceding unsigned comment by 66.144.47.131 (talk • contribs) )

Well, Milli Villi are infamously known worldwide...so that's another bad comparison. Why not compare this Crabtree to my neighbor Bob? Bob's written several novels that will be published one day, and has a great singing voice (I can hear him when he showers in the morning). He should have an article here too. No?

If he has a authoring career that has a fair chance of coming to fruition, I think by all means you should write an article about him. I for one would read it.(preceding unsigned comment by 66.144.47.131 (talk • contribs) )

The article should be kept on Wikipedia for the archiving of "The Matthew Crabtree"'s life, however it is written. Wikipedia is a great source for information and this is information. Many people will have a chance to see this article and the person's family and friends would be able to look at it later as a record to remember him by. The article should stay on the basis of its biographical and, in the future, nostalgic value. Gkf411

Isotope23 should know that the Crabtree can also do sock puppets very well,and i also love The Wombat. i don't think others can judge becouse thay do not know him or have never read the Gentlemen, its is truly one of the funnest thigs EVER! kept this and the overall site would be much better!!

for the information of those confused by the ID number of those numerous comments, several people we know do share a server together. though as most of the comments were by various friends and admirers of "The Crabtree", I suppose that is up to debate whether these admirers should be considered puppets or not. Nonetheless, for the record, only the comment that explicitly states as being by "The Crabtree" was actually written by him. The rest were different people operating on a connected server.

Again, as a longtime Wikipedian lurker, I offer my vote for the Crabtree as I see great things in his future. 24.53.141.174 19:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Brandywine

Delete nn bio. Look, if he has great things in his future, then he will deserve a great article in the future. But he doesn't deserve an article until he's done the great things. We would have said the same thing about Einstein if we'd been around before he'd started demonstrating his genius for the world to see. Haeleth 21:08, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I for one would have loved to have read an article about Einstein before his fame rose. I could say I was a fan from the beginning. Besides, potential needs to be recognized, not just demonstration of what it can do. This provides for a more creativly nurturing international environment. I would have felt quite the fool to write Einstein off before I can see what he can do. Also, with such interesting projects as his soon-to-come comic book and film-role, not to mention (as I've heard now) the rapidly developing and brain-storming comedy team the "Gentlemen", I think it would be beneficial to leave this page up. Give it a few months at least, I think, to give him a chance to complete his projects and put them into circulation. then we'll see if this Young Einstein will wow us with his prowess. 24.53.141.174 21:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Brandywine

I don't know this "crabtree" fellow, but I think this article should stay. It is interesting. It may have some real importance someday, who knows. i'l agree that "the crabtree" should stay, but what does that jimmy guy have to do with any thing? and why is there a link to see his bed room? thats worse that that guy up there hanging out around the guy next doors bath room while he sings? will one of you pro crabtree people tell me what thats all about.?!

Delete vanity --Rogerd 13:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

If "The Crabtree" stays the Jimmy stuff will most likely get removed. It seems irrelvent now, but originally it was going to have a page on Jimmy too. They're both into this "Gentlemen" project and from what I've heard that should be up and running in a couple of weeks and from what I know it sounds pretty funny. Sort of a "Stella" type of thing. If "The Crabtree"'s page is taken, it's doubtful "the Gentlemen", as a group or separatly, will have any further Wikipedia-listed info. I suppose then we'll have to wait for the Comedy Central Special in eight years (haha).

Delete. Vanity. If you look at the contributions of its creator, you'll see he makes mostly vandalism. -- j. 'mach' wust | ‽ 21:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Mach, if you'll re-read this discussion you'll notice that it has already been mentioned numerous times that the "creator" here posted from a proxy server and cannot be responsible for the content posted by others using the same server.

24.53.141.174 21:47, 24 October 2005 (UTC)Brandywine

I've checked the contributions of the proxy server, and I must say some of the things done on it were rather shameful acts of vandalism. I, on my own behalf (and on behalf of "the Crabtree" by his request) apologize for those acts of vandalism (though I say again they were more than likely not committed by those we know personally and therefor also not those involved in any way in "The Crabtree"'s page or this discussion.) Nonetheless, we apologize for whoever did it. Obviously idiots.

Further, "The Crabtree" (with myself in agreement) wishes it be known (he doesn't actually have home access to the internet and he's a bit reluctant to use that server now) that there should be no hard feelings if the majority votes out his article here. He and I both have great respect for the Wikipedia community and the accuracy and wonderful service it provides. "The Gentlemen" apparantly finish up their work this week and begin actual filming on the coming weekend. If this goes anywhere (as they have some real plans for it that may come into action at any time after the editing) I personally will try again a page for it if it has some degree of success or notoriaty at home or elsewhere. We can all have that one out in discussion when the time comes. Many thanks to the wonderful regulars here at Wikipedia who pledge their time and effort into keeping this place accurate and bountiful.

I've decided to go with Keeping the article.

[edit] Vegan menu items

Unencyclopedic. The page is a Yellow page listing of prominent vegan menus. Wikipedia isn't a repository of local restaurants and their phone numbers. Idleguy 12:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I was never much of a fan of this article. Actually they are all fast food chains in the U.S. If it expanded to local restaurants it would become huge and unmaintainable. It's just not an encyclopedia topic. Rhobite 15:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete -- with caveats. We should make a note in Veganism about how to find out whether or not the food in a restaurant is vegan. (ie, stick in the weblink, if it's not in there already, and maybe a small paragraph.) This list is too specific, but the general topic is important to vegans. --Jacquelyn Marie 16:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] War of Iraq

This page is duplicative of Iraq War and was only created to showcase Reddi's version of that article. Mr. Tibbs 06:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

This article covers the 'War of Iraq' that was between the multinational forces and the old Iraqi army (something that needs to be doen to conform to a higher standard of quality; and is a military science subject [inparticular a military history subject]). Contrary to Mr. Tibbs allegation .... a division is necessary to differentiate it from the loose collection of different violent events of the "colloquial" use. The Iraq War article covers this informal colloquial use. JDR 15:12, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
