[edit] 1st Klass Music
Non-notable: 1 Google hit that may or may not be the same outfit. Mwanner | Talk 14:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Insufficient context to establish notability. TheMadBaron 04:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. From the article, it sounds like they're not even producing new music, but compilations of oldies. It belongs in a business directory. TECannon 09:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 20th Century Fox slogans
This one is strange... It's obviously not a real reasonable subject for an article, so I was going to merge it with 20th Century Fox. But the slogans include 1940: "We Get Hard", 1945: "We're Getting Round", 1960: "Never Our Way to Go". They seem really unlikely, and they get no Google hits. If anyone thinks they're for real, by all means, merge. (PS, the same anon has written four other equally strange articles, all within 20 minutes on Oct 9. -- Mwanner | Talk 23:48, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Chickety China the chinese chicken
- Delete per nomination. The contributor's other "slogan" articles can be found at [1] and they all look worthy of deletion. --Metropolitan90 23:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I should also note that the Columbia Tristar articles by that same author are now on CSD, so I can't see why this isn't tagged as such... Wcquidditch | Talk 17:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, possibly Speedy as vandalism. This goes for the rest of them too. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per nomination. Verification issues aside, this is a totally unencyclopaedic article. Eddie.willers 00:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as unverifiable. Fox used slogans to promote its films not itself. The only slogan of any note is "Fair and Balanced" which is associated with Fox News. Capitalistroadster 01:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this content as an unverifiable hoax. However an encyclopedic article with this title could have its place on Wikipedia, similar to Coca-Cola slogans. Pburka 01:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete all per Metropolitan90. Saberwyn 07:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --JJay 13:20, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per Metropolitan90, if not speedy delete. These slogans seem a bit iffy to me, and could very well be a hoax. (Is it me or is there lots of hoax articles on AfD lately?) Wcquidditch | Talk 17:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 4-Inch Subwoofer
This must be a hoax. There's no evidence supporting the release of this album. --Maitch 23:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and there doesn't seem to be any evidence whatsoever of this "up-coming" event. Masterhatch 10:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete hardly encyclopedic and contains too much speculation. Cool3 23:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete; would be encyclopedic if it didn't stink so much of a hoax. Of the six non-Wikipedia Google results, only one has anything to do with Aqua, and it's on a forum. User:Purplefeltangel/sig 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 06:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax, though possibly an unintentional one. This is unfortunate because I've always liked Aqua. Oh well. Apparently an MP3 from a similar band is going around mislabeled as an Aqua track... not a big surprise, that's happened to every song from Toybox, for example. Also seems unlikely that an album to be released so far in the future would have a complete tracklist already. Even on the very very slight chance that this is true, we should wait until it's more verifiable and less speculative. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was to delete text of Pokemon-related article. Keep recently created "possible replacement article" on abandoned ships in games in general, as no deletion debate occurred on that topic or content. Snowspinner 06:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Abandoned Ship
- Delete - Gamecruft. The article with this title could be something a lot more notable.--Atlantima 21:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - non-encyclopedic JoJan 20:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 06:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. When List of locations in Pokémon (or more likely List of locations in Hoenn) is made, it will mention this. Probably a one-liner. In the meantime, delete this. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, at least until List of locations in Pokémon is made we shouldn't take this away from people. Kappa 09:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- I started List of locations in Hoenn to include this location, without bothering to use any of the nascent information contained here. Can we delete this useless cruft now? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 10:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Is it part of the deletionist plan to drive away contributors of information they don't like by insulting their input? Kappa 10:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- TINC, "deletionist" or otherwise, and, again, labels like that are needlessly divisive.
Frankly, I do feel this article is near-useless and certainly cruft; it isn't even notable in the context of the game in which it appears. (It's an optional dungeon with no significant items or Pokémon contained therein.) Even given that, I'd have voted to merge this article (or just closed this AFD and merged it myself) if there was any content to merge.
If the author weren't an AOL anon (I checked), I'd welcome him or her to help us at the Pokémon Wikiproject, just like three other contributors that have gotten a username and joined after my invitation.
Next time, try assuming good faith, please. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 11:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC) - Kappa, please explain how this is any less a personal attack than the one you whined about? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete I'm all for having Pokémon articles in Wikipedia, but this really isn't notable enough for its own article, especially as it is now in List of locations in Hoenn. Sonic Mew | talk to me 13:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect so that people looking for it will be pointed to the list. - Mgm|(talk) 15:08, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - too much pokemon stuff already! --MacRusgail 16:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete; I'm not convinced even redirecting is worthwhile for such a generic term. — Haeleth Talk 23:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Recreate the article as a stub. Abandoned ships appear in dozens of video games; there's at least one in TLOZ:Wind Waker, several in the third Final Fantasy on GameBoy... — stillnotelf has a talk page 00:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as to general for redirect (and because above noted lists already carry mostly non-notable information). Jtmichcock 05:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Academia del Perpetuo Socorro
Page is filled with nonsense, I am not a student at the institution so I can't cleanup the article, if anyone has accurate information about the school, please consider cleaning up the article. Miguelfp1 14:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- may I suggest going to the school's website? www.perpetuo.org
- Delete per nomination. - Miguelfp1 14:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Cleanup - remove the nonsense (ie all but the first par) and it's not that bad. Naturenet | Talk 16:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Cleanup: If it is a real institution it seems to have some notable alumni and is wortwhile. However, needs a ton of work. Powers of i 17:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - It's clean now, and it just needs expansion. --rob 00:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- keep it is an important school with notable alumni can we stop doing this again and again please Yuckfoo 19:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep nice cleanup.--Nicodemus75 22:04, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I know I nominated for deltion, but the cleanup was very nice, I couldn't do it myself because POV could be argued (Is tudy at one of the "rival" schools). Miguelfp1 22:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Thank you Miguelfp1. If you come across another school in the future you can add the template "{{cleanup-school}}" instead of nominating it for deletion or add it to one of the Wikiproject Schools pages. Silensor 00:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, and close now, clear consensus has formed. Christopher Parham (talk) 01:40, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Careful, the deletionists haven't weighed in yet - we wouldn't want to be accused of trying to "engineer" consensus now, would we?--Nicodemus75 01:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, this school has a sufficent number of notable alumni even if it isn't notable itself.Gateman1997 20:22, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, this school is in fact one of the more prestigious high-schools in Puerto Rico, and has quite a few notable alumni. I am by no means an expert on the school, so the one famous (non-actor) graduate that comes to mind is an ex-Governor of the island, whom I will add in a sec.

[edit] Aenor de Châtellerault
Subject is not particularly notable, except for who she gave birth to. Copied from genealogy webpages. Missi 05:34, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion; I can't find a copyvio. —Cryptic (talk) 07:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - would say woman is also notable for who she was married to. Rather have this kind of stuff than the Pokemon fad. Add "wikify" notice and stub --MacRusgail 16:40, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I wikified what was there. It reads like a good stub now. Anville 18:08, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep At that time duchess was a rare and high title, so she's roughly equivalent to some later queens. Honbicot 23:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alberta Angels
Yet another fantasy team and likely vanity article, though in this case the author fails to even spell the name correctly. Chris talk back 17:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, as with the rest of the teams. Canada has a separate version of "football" of its own anyway. --MacRusgail 19:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Holderca1 22:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alma (Lolo)
nn character in a video game Delete --JAranda | watz sup 01:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this and the rest of the Lolo enemies. As much as I appreciate Sivak's contibutions to Eggerland articles, individual pages on these characters aren't needed. KingTT 02:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, recurring video game characters. No reason to take this information away from people. Kappa 09:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, they can't be merged into the main game article. Besides, we've got articles on recurring enemies from Super Mario (i.e. Goombas). While this game is less popular, the characters shouldn't be treated any different. If they cannot be expanded, you can make a list of enemies and minor characters from the game by copying the information to a new list and redirecting the original article. - Mgm|(talk) 14:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Non-notable and wiki not an instruction manual. Marskell 14:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect the characters' pages into Eggerland series characters or something like that. They are useful but too insignificant to keep on separate pages. Andrew pmk | Talk 15:30, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect per Andrew and per existing policy. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:52, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AMD vs Intel
While there has been much ink spilled about AMD and Intel, I don't see how this article could be developed neutrally, benchmarks tend biased. Additionally there are many strong competitors in any marketplace, do each of those need to be listed? Ford vs GM, Microsoft vs Apple -- Reflex Reaction 16:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete For reasons given above, though if not deleted iWeak Keep/Move Blainstar's edits show some of the potential of the article, but the rewritten content it should be move to a more neutral title such as Comparison of AMD and Intel processors -- Reflex Reaction 16:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC). updated 20:31, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 06:53, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete POV currently without emperical evidence and stating that one processor will be better at something is likely to be a gross oversimplification/generalisation. Can't really imagine how it can be improved. chowells 11:39, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Articles like this are inherently original research. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m, +e ] 12:52, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete original research and inherent overgeneralization. People who need to compare them should read the articles we have on the individual processors or let themselves be informed at the reference desk (or better yet in a shop). Articles like this are unlikely to ever be neutral. - Mgm|(talk) 15:04, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as inherently POV, and as chowells this is a vast oversimplification of the topic...--Isotope23 19:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete overgeneralised original research --Alynna 20:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete There might someday be a need for an article like this, akin to SCO v. IBM, but not at the moment. — squell 00:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Neutral As it stands the stub is less than useful,on that basis I do not disagree with the editors above. However, the concept bears promise as an expanded article. It needn't be original research: if you take a look at published sources such as older Hardware Central or newer Tom's Hardware guide you get an idea of the sort of performance information that could be consolidated here. There is no question that GHz is no longer a useful guide to processor speed, and there are so many software benchmarks that endusers have difficulty comparing them. Bringing these aspects to a single place is where a WP article can be helpful. And a completely different form of "AMD vs. Intel" article would be on their legal rivalry noted here --Blainster 09:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)- Expand and Keep/possibly Move. The article has been modified to show the kind of promise it may hold. --Blainster 10:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Review sites are great, but I don't consider them proper neutral or journalistic sources. For example, this incident, where AnandTech rectified benchmark results because of pressure from their readers. The lawsuit may be a notable topic in the future, but I think that is too soon to tell squell 22:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
-
-
- Thanks for your input. The AnandTech incident is a good reason for marshalling the expertise here to provide some needed education on the relative merits of performance/benchmark claims. On the lawsuit, i think it is the history of legal sparring over the years (ever since the 1986 suit over AMD building 286s) that makes it notable, not what may happen in the future. --Blainster 23:01, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, but could this be reworked in such detail that (compared to AMD) it would necessitate a seperate article? squell 23:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

- It looks like my listing this page was an error. My vote is changed to keep but the page should be moved. Andreww 06:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Its a Richard Pryor greatest hits album of some sort. A messy article, but savable.—Gaff ταλκ 02:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, probably rename. but there is some greatest hits collection of Pryor with with this name [2]. I think ...And It's Deep Too! might suffice... or maybe And It's Deep Too!. gren グレン 03:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep cleanup and expand. This is a box set of Richard Pryor's comedy albums. WP:music states that compilations are not necessarily worthy of retention although I don't necessarily agree with it. However this compilation won a Grammy in 1991 albeit a technical one [3]
and Pryor is a notable comedian. Capitalistroadster 04:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- I have expanded the article significantly. No change of vote from Keep although although it should be moved to And It's Deep Too as per user Gren. Capitalistroadster 05:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep album (well, ok, collection) from major artist. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:24, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Please Do Not Delete - Comment I was providing information on my business to the international internet community, I searched many other business articles and used many of the same things that I found on their wiki pages. I did not think I was doing something incorrect by copying the templates and ideas of many other business wiki pages. If I have made a mistake, I would please love to know what it is so that I can rectify the problem immediately. I worked long and hard to find and verify all of the information that I put into this page. Please advise instead of deleting. I do not wish to offend or break any rules. Snak Oil IS the name of my most popular product. I do not think a product name would be grounds for deletion? I admittedley do not know what categories to put my business' wiki page under as it encompasses so much. How id the entry not encyclopedic? I have included everything on the subject except for my business's address, and product pricing (which even I beleive would be advertising, and thus; innapropriate). I was also not aware that a person making an entry was supposed to not enter all of their knowlege into the database upon editing a page if said information did not exist in the article. Was I mistaken? I have modified the article to adapt further to the rules as I understand them. All news articles are verifyable by any person by calling the companies that printed the articles or doing a search at the Springfield public library's news archives site. I would love some assistance please. I may be contacted at kryistina@yahoo.com if anyone would like to give me additional advice. - Kryistina 21:39, 22 October 2005 (CST)
- Kryistina - I didn't vote to delete (not yet anyway), but I thought "Snake Oil" was quite an amusing name for a product.--MacRusgail 16:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Notwithstanding the comments from Kryistina, I fail to see how this comes anywhere close to WP:CORP. Furthermore, for the life of me, I can't understand the obsession of small business owners to have an advertising page on the wiki. Wouldn't you rather have potential customers go directly to your website where they might actually buy something? --JJay 16:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Battlestar Pegasus
As much as I love the series, do we really need to have a page on here about the ship? We already have pages for every single ship that ever appeared for more then two frames of film in Star Trek or Star Wars, are we going to have pages for every single ship that ever appeared in Galactica too? Non-notable. AlistairMcMillan 18:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. - AlistairMcMillan 18:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom to avoid Battlestar proliferation. --MacRusgail 19:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge somewhere per WP:FICT — List of Battlestars or Ships in Battlestar Galactica would be good candidates. Kirill Lokshin 21:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Sorry, but the precedent has been established. But keep only if the Pegasus appears in more than one episode. I don't support articles for single-appearance ships (different incarnations of the Enterprise notwithstanding). 23skidoo 23:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- So once a bad decision is made we have to repeat it forever? We already have a constant struggle to keep unverifiable information out of the Star Trek pages. Do we really need to invite this on Galactica pages too? Especially when the producers have made clear they are going to learn from Trek and avoid technobabble as much as possible, which means there isn't going to be much information to fill a page on Galactica's ships. AlistairMcMillan 23:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Per my note below, in the BSG universe, the only other Battlestar to survive was the Pegasus. Unlike Star Trek, you are simply not going to see any other Battlestars appear except in dialogue. Further, unlike Star Trek, the shows have developed four (4) episodes where the Pegasus is the central element. As the only other Battlestar to survive the Cylons, this vessel is highly notable and the entry should be kept. Jtmichcock 06:23, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Further Comment a Google of this shows over 1,000,000 hits. If that isn't notable, I don't know what is. Jtmichcock 06:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- You mean <bold>15,500</bold>. Nowhere even close to 1,000,000. AlistairMcMillan 05:13, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

AlistairMcMillan 23:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep as the Battlestar Galactica lore, in contrast to Star Trek, only meets ONE other named ship -- the Pegasus, the only other Battlestar to survive the Cylon attack. Jtmichcock 05:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- So we won't create pages on Battlestars that are seen in flashbacks? AlistairMcMillan 13:40, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Battlestars that are featured in flashbacks are certainly not notable enough for a separate listing. Only two from the canon survived the Cylons: Galactica (which I don't believe anyone could argue should be deleted) and Pegasus, the topic under debate. Two, and only two, survived.
- Only two are know to have survived so far. If the series lasts seven years who knows what the producers will come up with. The Galactica page should probably be deleted too, it is already full of content that is unverifiable. AlistairMcMillan 17:25, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- So, you are going to put an AfD on the entry for Battlestar Galactica? I think that says enough. Jtmichcock 20:18, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry it was the Battlestar page I was thinking of. Not a single source and tons of information that looks like original research... "42 fighters were visualy (sic) confirmed". AlistairMcMillan 20:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- Strong Keep given that there are only two surviving battlestars, the historical (old series) significance of the ship, and the story arc involving a major plotline. 70.178.99.248 23:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Because not EVERY ship in the series/fleet is to be listed, only those that are actually featured or named, and there are hundreds in the surviving fleet, this entry should be kept. SmokeyBehr
- Strong KEEP. I fail to understand why anyone would make the argument "there is too much information here," let alone why anyone would buy into it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.181.46.148 (talk • contribs).

- Well there are no hits either through print.google.com, Amazon text search, or the NY Times and LA Times archives. A bit strange for a film studio. Also strange that no location was provided by the author. --JJay 02:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as unverifiable as per JJay. The article claims "The studio lot was built in the 1920's and was one of the first active film studios. It had a diffrent name them but the lot was the site of some of America's most treasured early films. After the great depression, the studio closed." If the studios had a different name when it was supposedly most notable, that is the name we should use if it is verifiable. Further, the article does not state any films, actors or directors associated with the studio at that time so it would very hard to confirm in any case.

- Delete, unverifiable. Ebay items should Google. Also, even 1920s studios have films in the IMDB. The fact it doesn't Google tells me it doesn't exist. IMDB would have it listed if it made even a minor film. - Mgm|(talk) 14:25, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete extremely wierd hoax article. Since much of the article deals with supposed Cherry Cola Studio shirts, and even specifically states that the shirts are valuable, this article may exist to support a collectables scam of some sort. Note also that a movie studio being called "Cherry Cola" in the 20s simply doesn't ring true. Cherry Coke is from the mid-80s, and studios from that era simply weren't named things like that. Though I'd genuinely like to know what the deal behind this article is, it's zero-Google level shows it's a hoax as written, so it must go. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm a huge film buff and I've never heard of this place, plus I agree it is unverifiable, and lack of reference in the IMDb is the key here. I agree that the Google Test is not the be all and end all for either proving notability or existence, but odds are someone would have posted something about this place, considering the article claims it was active in the 1990s. Also, unless the Coca-Cola Company owns it, odds are such a place wouldn't be allowed to have the name "Cherry Cola" anyway since that's a registered trademark for Coke. 23skidoo 23:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete,I can put an end to this discussion. This article is blatenly wrong. We were alerted that this type of thing may happen. Flyers have been showing up at local universities claiming to have "Origional Cherry Cola Studios Clothing" and they they will be avliable online. They aslo tell the same basic story as the article. A google brought us here. I sm co-owner of Cherry Cola Studios. (yes Virginia, there is a Cherry Cola Studios) Let me set this article straight. First - we dont make films and never have, Our business is to rent out high end video equipment mostly to local film students. We are a small A/V supply company, We do not create sets nor do we have uniforms and we do not provide crews of any kind. The building we are in was built in the late 1970's at the earliest and was a warehouse before we moved in. As far as we know, *no* films have ever been shot here. Also, we do not have a "gift shop" nor do we give tours They would be very short (Here is the office, here is the storage room, thanks for comming) We do not make clothes nor sell them and never have. Nor do we intend to. Also, Ebay has been notified that this most likely is some attempt to gather value for some worthless t-shirts by some college kid. We have not been in business since 1980 or whatever it said. We have been around just over three years. Please delete this article as it is not even *remoetly* acurate nor was it created or authorized by us. If you see an offer for cherry cola clothing on an auction site, please report it to the auction company. I hope this clears things up. BTW Skidoo... The Term "Cherry Cola" is not a trademark of Coke, but you were prob thinking of their trademark on "Cherry Coke" We apoligize for the inconvienence and we already have a lead on who the t-shirt pusher is. This article should be deleted without question. Thank you. Cman 24:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Coconut monkey
A trolling attack on Wikipedia. Only one tiny nugget of information keeps this from being speedied, which is that it references a supposed method of trapping monkeys that has seen extensive usage over many decades as a metaphorical figure. However, this article does not cover the metaphorical usage (except employing to insult Wikipedia) and does not provide any citation for it as alleged fact. There is nothing here worth saving. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:48, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per own nom. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:48, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - but remove anti-wikipedia information. It resembles a technique used for trapping monkeys in Africa using holes in termite mounds. --MacRusgail 18:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as nonsense. A coconut monkey is indeed a real thing though: a monkey figure carved out of several coconuts and widely available as novelties in tropical tourist shops and beach areas. A specific 3D coconut monkey is used as a mascot for PC Gamer magazine. When this article is deleted, a real article can easily take its place. I suggest deleting Wikipedia:Song/Coconut Monkey too, which seems to be part of the same thing. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, unencyclopedic nonsense. MCB 20:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep at least as disambiguation perhaps? There seem to be three meanings of this phrase, all distinct. One is the idiomatic use reported (and now cleaned up to explain it AS an idiomatic use and include the similarity to the termite mound report), a second is the tourist shop novelty meaning, and the fact that monkeys are trained to throw coconuts down from trees to harvest them in South Asia is a third and more obvious real life meaning. There is also a well known mathematical problem involving monkeys and coconuts in its usual explanation. As for the mention of Wikipedia eating brains, judging from the fact that you all above seem unwilling to fix an article with minor problems, and describe simple humour as an "attack", and advocate taking a censorial approach to gentle mocking of Wikipedia that you would not take towards gentle mocking of Britannica, perhaps your sense of humour and of fairness has already been eaten? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.177.112.2 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC).
- It was not an "article with minor problems". It was a piece of shit with one minor scrap that would be best salvaged by incorporating it into a good article, like Trapping, instead of this piece of shit. Even if it was "simple humour", the article's POV statement that "Since the monkey will not use his brain, the hunters will happily make good use it for him" would not be appropriate for Wikipedia. The comparison following between these monkeys and "any addict" is, to put it mildly, just fucking stupid, not to mention original research. The statement following that, directly comparing Wikipedia users to those monkeys who have already been judged to have more value as food than as living beings, is in no uncertain terms an attack and an insult. There is no point in "cleaning up" this piece of shit; whatever tiny fragments of value were included (by accident, I'm sure) in this steaming heap should at best be salvaged into other articles, ones that weren't written as trolls. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

It was a piece of shit with one minor scrap that would be best salvaged by incorporating it into a good article, like Trapping, instead of this piece of shit. Even if it was "simple humour", the article's POV statement that "Since the monkey will not use his brain, the hunters will happily make good use it for him" would not be appropriate for Wikipedia. The comparison following between these monkeys and "any addict" is, to put it mildly, just fucking stupid, not to mention original research. The statement following that, directly comparing Wikipedia users to those monkeys who have already been judged to have more value as food than as living beings, is in no uncertain terms an attack and an insult. There is no point in "cleaning up" this piece of shit; whatever tiny fragments of value were included (by accident, I'm sure) in this steaming heap should at best be salvaged into other articles, ones that weren't written as trolls. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cyclic Multiverse Theory
This article appears to be an alternative cosmogony created by the article's author. A Google search yeilds one hit -- a Web forum discussion where the author apparently first posted his ideas last year. The article's author and only editor has no other pages to his credit. See the Talk page for details. Shouldn't this article be moved to Wikibooks, at the very least? Ahasuerus 01:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Kmarinas86 02:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC)There are other places where I have posted this. They go under the name of Cyclical Multiverse Theory or Fractal Universe Theory, or just "Fractal Universe". I'll consider the possbility of moving this article to Wikibooks. First I'll need to figure out what that is.
-
- Wikibooks is a place where all kinds of open-content non-encyclopedic texts (manuals, textbooks, etc) can be posted -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks for details.

- Keep - pseudoscience apparently though, and I have slapped a neutrality warning on it. --MacRusgail 16:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete due to the three pieces of evidence that it's original research: 1)Pseudoscience with no mass following, 2)Self-references in the article to "the author" and Kmarinas86, 3)Kmarinas having effectively admitted it's original research in this discussion. The Literate Engineer 16:49, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
--Kmarinas86 17:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)Psuedoscience... ok, because I am not able to come up with actual data of my own. that's why I resort to proposing certain things in order to explain present day cosmological problems - without doing mathematics i'm not capable of, eventhough I find mathematics relatively easy. I don't see how it would become psuedo science just because it's new or presents an alternative. But I think it may be psuedoscience in any case, if no one accepts it. Or perhaps because its pseudoscience, it's not accepted. Is that almost the entirety of the criteria? It appears that's how the word psuedoscience is used. No matter the degree of it, I suppose most believe it requires "no explanation" other than that it is "original research" with no credentialed scientists involved, nor interpreted at the time of a real experiment's completion, making it "psuedoscience".....
--Kmarinas86 18:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)Never mind my madness... I'm going to move it to http://academia.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page
- Delete as this has already been moved elsewhere. On a side note, wouldn't this be a hypothesis and not a theory? It appears the prediction have not been proven yet...--Isotope23 19:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- It would be a hypothesis if never tested; a theory if at least one verification has been made. So, looks all hypothetical.
--24.167.40.92 20:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)The problem is that the experiments that would have verified, parts, of it have already been done. My hypothesis so for is to be compatible with that knowledge, as if the hypothesis were decided before the experiment was done (and verified in this sense). Experiments, for example, include those about: Redshift of Distant Galaxies, Missing Mass Problem, and the Nature of Distant Galaxies.
--24.167.40.92 20:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)However, I know that not all of it is proven yet, and some of it is not provable or disprovable, yet. So is it conjecture? Yes, because some of the things it predicts haven't been seen yet. It is it a theory? It "predicts" a few things which have already shown to be the case - but that was after the fact. I haven't discovered all of its predictions though. So with time, I may be able to find more ways as to how this can be verified or debunked.

[edit] Energy spectrum
This article does not make any sense to me. IMHO I don't think anybody uses the term energy spectrum in such a sense. In my opinion, energy spectrum is synonym for frequency spectrum (due to E=hν.

[edit] Harry Cichy
Vanity page, written by editor who claims [16] to be its subject. Unusual writing style: see article. Regarding notability: 300 Google hits for subject, of which all of those I have reviewed so far appear, by writing style or contributor name, to be his own press releases and postings to various Internet forums. Delete -- The Anome 10:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, or at the very least clean it the fuck up. Seriously, I'd rather look at a jarful of smashed anuses than that article. It's that bad. I do see that Harry Cichy has been mentioned in the news a couple of times, but those articles aren't about him, he's just a spokesman for a consumer group.

[edit] Hilton Sisters
Nominating for deletion. I don't think a disamibuation page for only two people who are already easily recognizable is really necesary. --Fallout boy 02:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- Prior to my nominating for deletion, this disambig was only for Paris and Nicky Hilton. Now that the hilton twins have been added to it, I change my vote to keep.--Fallout boy 01:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now.
Not sureif this would be better off redirecting to Hilton twins (like Hilton sisters does), or whether that should be added to this disambig. If the former, Paris and Nicky should be mentioned in a disambig line there; if the latter, this should be moved over the Hilton sisters redirect. —Cryptic (talk) 07:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)- Move to Hilton sisters per below. —Cryptic (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hilton Twins should be a redirect to Hilton sisters as the latter term easily wins on the Google duel test see [20]
A page is useful in case as it would be a commonly searched term and both sisters are well-known. Keep with possible move to Hilton sisters
with Hilton twins redirecting to Hilton sisters.Capitalistroadster 10:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)- Where would the content currently at Hilton twins move to, then? The vast majority of those hits for "Hilton sisters" aren't for them, but for Nicky and Paris (who aren't twins, so a redirect from "hilton twins" shouldn't go to a disambig including their articles). —Cryptic (talk) 11:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- In that case, Hilton twins can be left alone but Hilton sisters should redirect to this article with the Hilton twins added to the disambiguation. Capitalistroadster 11:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep disambig. As suggested, I made hilton sisters re-direct here. I'm sure most using that term nowadays, want the new girls, and not the old ones; but it's harmless to mention them all. --rob 12:10, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand, if Hunspell is in OpenOffice 2.0 yet, though.

- Comment. Heh, the IP that created this is pretty blatently owned by Innopath if you fish around for 5 seconds. Nevertheless, is this company notable? 29,000 google hits. They claim to have sold their technology on 60 million handsets. That seems to mean they meet a basic guideline for company notability. I can't really figure out how to vote at this moment, since the article was obviously written as self-promotion by someone with that company. --W.marsh 03:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Koga-ryu/rough
At first glance, I don't know what this is supposed to be. Looks very haphazard. Could be a draft for some article that was meant to be in user namespace (as suggested by "/rough"). (But if so, why not stub?) I say userfy (if necessary) then delete. Wwwwolf 22:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- I took maybe a bit more time than a quick glance at it. (The external link was very helpful to help me make a first guess.) It's an article about a school (ryū) of ninjutsu, with the original article being ja:甲賀流 (Kōka-ryū, Kōga-ryū); it was probably machine-translated, explaining the hap-hazardness. According to the article ninja, the article should be titled Kōga-ryū. The “/rough” likely is a non-standard transliteration of “ryū” (major school). I would say categorize, stubify, move, and retranslate.—Wing 23:52, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thinking about it a bit more, perhaps "/rough" does mean "rough draft". Perhaps the current title means “a rough draft of an article on ‘Koga-ryu’”. The article is not mentioned in the original contributor’s user page, though, so perhaps he/she has forgotten about it.—Wing 00:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment needs major cleanup, then renaming. Probably no need to delete. Fg2 01:20, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Life on Forbez
Non notable keenspace comic, found here. Is there any sort of notability? Apart from some comments on webcomic toplists linked from the article, I can find none. I think it was one time a part of the graphicsmash community, but I'm not too sure. Google search seems to throw up a lot of random webcomic crosslinking places, and nothing else. - Hahnchen 18:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, where to begin?
- No reason for deletion stated
- Deletionist did not even bother to open this discussion
- Deletionist did not even state identity here, it was User:Hahnchen
- Deletionist is a known mass submitter for deletions [28]
- Deletionist failed to follow Wikipedia Guide to Deletion
All in all I propse the following:
- Speedily remove deletion tag
- Speedily remove User:Hahnchen
Note that format for article is closely based on that of Count Your Sheep. Thus:
- STRONG KEEP 85.164.86.246 18:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Reply - Yes, it was a long time before it was completed, I was busy with other nominations and other non-wikipedia stuff. But you checked my contribs, so you should have known that I knew about the afd process. To be honest, I wasn't that bothered about someone creating the page, but was bothered over what you had to say about it. ie speedily remove the tage, and to evict me from the wikipedia house. Normally, if you find a broken afd listing, it's better complete the nomination, and then to put your argument rather than just posting some rash statements. - Hahnchen 13:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- How has he complied? He even fails to note that this article was initially created by following the existing edit link on Graphic Smash. Stating I think it was one time a part of the graphicsmash community, but I'm not too sure shows he has not even bothered to read the Wikipedia article on Graphic Smash. He asks for notability without even checking the links in the article under the heading Awards. The reason Google does not show up much is that the web comics has moved home several times and also been a subscription comics in the past, thus less coverage. This is not impressive. Moreover I cannot see being unregistered is a disqualification anywhere. Can you? 85.164.86.246 19:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - One of the main reasons for nominating it for deletion was the fact that I DID check the external links in the "awards" section. They're not awards, they're forum posts on webcomic toplists. Every webcomic ever has that. I'm also against the, "once appeared on some network = notability" stance. It's like giving every band who has ever been signed by the most minor of labels an article. - Hahnchen 13:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep This comic is sufficiently established. Though the author moved it to his own site fairly recently, it was on Modern Tales. I agree Hahnchen was overzealous on this particular nomination. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 16:01, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- It looks to me like some comics on Modern Tales would be notable, and others wouldn't. Without consensus-approved guidelines designed to address such things without half an hour of research for each AfD, I don't think we can take its presence there as evidence. -- SCZenz 22:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Duly noted. My vote remains unchanged and I still believe Hahnchen made a mistake on this one. I'm not fond of the deletionist attention webcomics have received lately, but this one strikes me as an error as opposed to a philosophical difference. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 18:50, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Not encyclopedaic; no verifiable assertion of notability consistent with usual Wikipedia standards for websites. See User:SCZenz/Webcomics for more on this. -- SCZenz 22:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - comics associated with Modern Tales and other professional webcomics syndicates are notable. The closing admin should also see User:Snowspinner/Webcomics, as I believe myself to be a subject expert on the matter of webcomics, which should be given due weight in closing this debate. Snowspinner 22:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Is Modern Tales really 100% professional? I see it has some free comics and some subscription comics, so it's hard to tell. That's why I think we should spell such things out in the guidelines--but we have to agree on them to use them. We shouldn't have to be experts to see that a comic is notable; this should be spelled out in the article. Incidentally, you might look at Wikipedia:No original research#The role of expert editors for Wikipedia policy on what expertise counts for; the answer is not a whole lot, unless reputable sources are cited. This is sometimes time-consuming (something I've experienced plenty on physics articles), but it makes the encyclopedia better. -- SCZenz 22:56, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- And I would not pretend that my say-so should be taken as a valid source for content addition - but deletion debates are a different matter - subject experts ought be taken seriously when asserting notability of a subject, I would think. And yes, Modern Tales is a professional site - it is Joey Manley's business. A given MT artist may have other jobs, but MT in general is a professional operation, the contents of which are notable. Snowspinner 23:00, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- The site as a whole may be professional, but I would still want more information about the particular artist. It also depends on how many comics are on the site, and what its criteria are for inclusion. I don't know that within an AfD is the appropriate place to discuss such questions in detail—rather, the ongoing work at WP:COMIC is. Regarding expertise and deletion, if someone was deleting a physics article, I would put up a couple of links to places the concept was discussed in peer-reviewed journals. I realize that Modern Tales may be nearly the closest thing that exists to a peer-reviewed journal in webcomics, but I don't think it qualifies as a reliable source in the same way under Wikipedia rules. -- SCZenz 23:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to have the discussion on WP:COMIC, fine, but it seems absurd to declare that notability issues that haven't been settled there are somehow invalid to discuss here - the article is up for deletion now. Do you propose to table the discussion until we have inclusion guidelines? As for Modern Tales, they are selected based on their merits by the editor of the particular site - in the case of Graphic Smash, that's T Campbell. Snowspinner 23:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Your point is well taken. So why did this comic move? It seems to have moved from a hosting service that might very well have made it notable, to one that doesn't (unless it's in the top 25). Where we should consider it as being from depends on why it moved, how long it had been there, etc.--so what's the story? -- SCZenz 23:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure yet - it's something I'm looking into. But I'd like to err on the side of caution here. My guess, though I'm not certain, is that erratic updating made it unsuitable for a professional operation like Graphic Smash. I don't know of any other cases of strips going down from notable syndicate to Keenspace offhand, which is itself kind of notable. Snowspinner 23:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- While most comics on Modern Tales are notable, I don't think the least read comic on Modern Tales is automatically notable. Same goes for a comic that may have experienced 15 seconds of fame with a brief association with the Graphic Smash site. Is every failed sitcom pilot notable? Is a band automatically notable if they sign to a major label but then their album tanks? My vote remains "delete." Dragonfiend 23:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- I would think few would object to an article on every television series to have aired on network television, considering that WP:NOT explicitly advocates articles on every individual episode of some of them. Snowspinner 23:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think my vote will have to remain as is, at least if you're right about the unsuitability due to updating irregularities; that would undermine the whole reason that Modern Tales would be a standard of notability in the first place. -- SCZenz 00:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'd just like to say that my feelings on webcomic syndication and notability are already covered in WP:COMIC. I'm against the any membership to a syndicate = notability guideline as suggested. It would be the same as saying any signed band to the most minor of record labels would get an article. OK, GraphicSmash as an entity may be notable, but how notable are the individual comics? I reckon that most people would refer to the syndicate over a specific comic, on the lines of "I'm reading graphicSmash", over the specific comic. - Hahnchen 17:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- You reckon completely and 100% wrong. I have never in my life heard of anyone refer to reading "Keenspot" or "Graphic Smash." Snowspinner 17:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe that was a bad example phrase. But the point I am trying to make, is that graphic smash is way more notable than the individual comics that make it up, unlike say a record label. I doubt people would pay just to see 1 particular comic, but look at graphicsmash and say, "now, hey! There's a collection of not too bad comics that I wouldn't mind reading." Which is why I think that just because a comic has appeared on xxx syndicate, doesn't mean that it's notable. - Hahnchen 20:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- In my experience it is generally one or two comics that get people to make the purchase, and then they stumble upon more from that - for me it was Digger on Graphic Smash and Narbonic on Modern Tales. Snowspinner 21:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- I have known people who've paid because of one comic, and found out about others that way. I started subscribing to Graphic Smash mainly for Digger, Killroy and Tina, and Fans (the webcomic), but I've been introduced to many other good comics through it. When you make claims like the one above, it makes it look as though you don't really know much about Graphic Smash. Factitious 23:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

- If you want to have the discussion on WP:COMIC, fine, but it seems absurd to declare that notability issues that haven't been settled there are somehow invalid to discuss here - the article is up for deletion now. Do you propose to table the discussion until we have inclusion guidelines? As for Modern Tales, they are selected based on their merits by the editor of the particular site - in the case of Graphic Smash, that's T Campbell. Snowspinner 23:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- The site as a whole may be professional, but I would still want more information about the particular artist. It also depends on how many comics are on the site, and what its criteria are for inclusion. I don't know that within an AfD is the appropriate place to discuss such questions in detail—rather, the ongoing work at WP:COMIC is. Regarding expertise and deletion, if someone was deleting a physics article, I would put up a couple of links to places the concept was discussed in peer-reviewed journals. I realize that Modern Tales may be nearly the closest thing that exists to a peer-reviewed journal in webcomics, but I don't think it qualifies as a reliable source in the same way under Wikipedia rules. -- SCZenz 23:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- And I would not pretend that my say-so should be taken as a valid source for content addition - but deletion debates are a different matter - subject experts ought be taken seriously when asserting notability of a subject, I would think. And yes, Modern Tales is a professional site - it is Joey Manley's business. A given MT artist may have other jobs, but MT in general is a professional operation, the contents of which are notable. Snowspinner 23:00, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Is Modern Tales really 100% professional? I see it has some free comics and some subscription comics, so it's hard to tell. That's why I think we should spell such things out in the guidelines--but we have to agree on them to use them. We shouldn't have to be experts to see that a comic is notable; this should be spelled out in the article. Incidentally, you might look at Wikipedia:No original research#The role of expert editors for Wikipedia policy on what expertise counts for; the answer is not a whole lot, unless reputable sources are cited. This is sometimes time-consuming (something I've experienced plenty on physics articles), but it makes the encyclopedia better. -- SCZenz 22:56, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. An important webcomic, and one which we should have useful information about. I've known of Life on Forbez since well before it joined Graphic Smash, and would consider it notable even if it had not been associated with the site. Factitious 23:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Webcomics are a small field. Thus, it is possible for a webcomic to be notable within the webcomic field, and yet be unverifiable notability-wise outside. This comic fulfils the guidelines on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Webcomics and its inclusion in wikipedia in no way harms wikipedia itself. If in doubt, don't delete!--Fangz 01:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. WP:COMIC is still just a proposed guidelines. And isn't "notable within the webcomic field" different than notable for inclusion in a general enyclopedia...? What this harms is our internal consistency, and possibly WP:Verifiability, if you're claiming it doesn't have to be verifiable. -- SCZenz 02:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of movies whose title is eponymous with a character in it
This is just extreme trivia. Whilst a small amount of trivia is interesting I really don't see how this list could be of any use to anybody. Would someone decide to watch a film based on the criterion "title is eponymous with a character in it"? I'd say not. chowells 16:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of people who are nearly supercentenarians
What is this article?? It appears to try to list everyone whose age either at the present or at death is 108 or 109 and has a large majority of the links ghost links. 66.245.118.178 00:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

While some edits have been useful, user 65.93.29.176 has consistently favored the "myth of aging" discourse, plagiarized Guinness World Records and other sources, and refused to respond to requests for using th talk or discussion boards. I move that User 65.93.29.176 be warned that continued activities that favor anti-science positions, coupled with a refusal to discuss, cooperate, or even identify hismelf should result in a current warning of possible future suspensions of rights.

First of all...I gave permission to use the list if the source is cited, so deleting the source is not a good solution. Second...if it's currently in order of age (109 years 364 days, 109 years 358 days etc), why not just keep it in the order that it's in?
However, the biggest argument is, if you are going to list people aged 109, why not list the 870+ people aged 110+? Ryoung122 17:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Mostly RedLinks in that list --JAranda | watz sup 02:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Supercentenarian has had enough debates because its getting really long. There are even more of these people and its getting to be commonplace now so it doesn't define them as notable. The red links don't seem like they will ever be encyclopedic and that is why this should be deleted. gren グレン 03:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this, as "nearly supercentenarian" is totally an idiosyncratic non-topic. The Literate Engineer 06:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Anyone who's over 100 years old is notable. (A supercentenarian is someone who's 110.) - Sensor 11:25, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- THERE ARE OVER 135,000 living people worldwide aged 100 and over. BY 2050 the number should be 4 million. Age 100 is not in itself notable, which is why age 110 has become the new standard. I only agree with lising "famous centenarians" such as Bob Hope. Ryoung122 17:49, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Whether being a centenarian makes a person notable or not (and I disagree with the assertion that it does, especially as it becomes more common with better medicine) is, I think, irrelevant to the discussion of a list of such people. Notability would matter regarding the individual articles about specific people, but a list isn't automatically worthy of being kept (or compiled to begin with) simply because many, most, or even all, of the listed items are deserving of articles on an individual basis. The Literate Engineer 16:35, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as "nearly supercentenarian" is meaningless. (I'd vote delete on List of people who are supercentenarians too, on different grounds.) Rd232 talk 12:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, rename and reformat. People over 100 years old are certainly encyclopedic, but "nearly supercentenarian" is not specific enough. The article should set a specific boundary (probably 100 years) as arbitrary cut-off. - Mgm|(talk) 14:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- You are missing the whole point. The U.S. currently has 50,000 centenarians, Japan has 25,000. Age 100 in itself is NOT NOTABLE. I think age 110 might be, but we don't even have a list of 110 or older (yet). So why is there a list of "almost 110" if no list of "110+". Second, "Almost supercentenarians" means "almost." What is almost? For my list, I defined the cutoff point as anyone within 90 days of reaching age 110 (or 75% of the way from age 109 to age 110), since some people like to "round up" ages. However, this copier has added in people aged less than 109.75 years, some as young as 107. Since only 6% of people aged 107 reach age 110, I certainly would NOT consider age 107 to be "almost" 110. Incidentally, Japan currently has 101 people aged 108 or over, living, not to mention the deceased. The number of people who died at age 108 or 109 worldwide can be estimated at 3,480 (assuming 50% death rates at age 108 and 109, based on validated list of 870 people reaching age 110).
Then of course, maybe we could have a list of baseball pitchers who "almost" won 300 games, football teams that "almost" won the SuperBowl, people that "almost" died in the WTC. I decline to vote because I think a list in order of age wouldn't be too bad, but there should be at minimum source links and a consistent pattern of organization (either by age, by chronological order with an age minimum, or by alphabetical order with age minimum).

- Keep. If there's a List of people who are nearly centenarians, can't there be a list of people who are nearly supercentenarians? --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.93.29.176 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 23 October 2005.
- Comment. One difference is that the list of people who are nearly centenarians is a list of famous people, plus there seems to be a minimum age point of 99 for that list. Consequently, the "list of people who are nearly supercentenarians" is mostly a list of people famous only for old age, with a few "famous" cases thrown in. My problem is not with the list per se, but user 65.93.29.176, who based on his massive time available, infatuation with stats, and immaturity (refusing to discuss issues with others, or to see both sides of an issue) suggests he is a teenager. The list, if kept, should be formatted according to a pre-set standard of who qualifies: age 109? Age 109.5? What is "nearly?" Second, shouldn't a "list of people who are supercentenarians" be tried first, to see whether it would float as a viable entity? Third, if kept, the list should either be formatted, as stated, by alphabetical order, chronological order, or by age (oldest first). The World Almanac lists tallest buildings in order of height, and highest mountains in order of height. Baseball's 300-game winners are listed in order of victories. The problem is not a list per se, but whether it is organized according to systematic criteria or no.172.159.204.208 19:13, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- Do Not Delete.
Does lack of fame make a vanity article?
An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia (although consensus exists regarding particular kinds of article, for instance see WP:MUSIC). Lack of fame is not the same as vanity.
Furthermore, an article is not "vanity" simply because it was written by its subject. Articles about existing books, movies, games, and businesses are not "vanity" so long as the content is kept to salient material and not overtly promotional.
Please heed the rules of wikipedia before deleting. Thank You.Bostonjon 01:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment for Bostonjon. Do not confuse 'lack of fame' with the condition of 'not being vain'. The subject of the article in question is displaying conceit (ie: 'A favorable and especially unduly high opinion of one's own abilities or worth') and this makes the article a 'vanity' article and, hence, eligible for deletion. Eddie.willers 01:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Unverifiable. Pburka 01:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Insufficient context to establish notability. TheMadBaron 06:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Do not Delete. The claim that this data is not easily verifiable is, in my opinion no reason to delete it. I for one have actually seen Mason "Spray" Stahl performing at several spoken word/hip-hop concerts in the Boston area. Your claims that information regarding Mason Stahl cannot be currently found on the web highlights the importance of this page on wikipedia. Stahl needs to have his name entered onto the web at sometime and somewhere and there is no better place but wikipedia to document the information regarding Mason Stahl. It does not seem fair to judge Mason Stahl's importance or significance on a google search for even if he did come up on google this does not mean that he is not important. I for one am quite sure that this page is accurate for I have actually seen Mason Stahl in performance and have read a book of his poetry. I strongly urge those considering the deletion of this page to heed my suggestions and acknowledge that while you may not have heard of Mason in your parts of the country he is known in and around the Boston area for his rapping and poetry.Bostonjon 15:25, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Vanity or not this is NN. No google hits that I can find and albums do not seem to be available anywhere. If Bostonjon would like to make a case for this within the context of WP:MUSIC please do so. --JJay 15:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Do Not Delete. Let me remind you that I have heard Mason "Spray" Stahl rap in concert before and I own his second album "Elimihate". I too am surprised that no hits come up for him on google, however, I agree with the articles assessment of him as an "emerging rapper" for he is beginning to gain notoriety in the Boston area. I would also like to make it clear that he is a poet and actually has a poetry book currently on sale in several Boston area independent bookshops. I think that his rapping alone should qualify him for a wikipedia page but if that cannot be agreed upon then his poetic works should easily make him a candidate for a page. I would like to finish by saying that many now famous poets went their whole lives without receiving due recognition and I feel that the wikipedia page on Mason Stahl is an accurate, fair, and necessary contribution to this encyclopedia.Bostonjon 16:06, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Comment. Instead of making the same points over and over, please provide some citations for Mr. Stahl's work. Since you own his album, a record company and year of release would be helpful. As you have read his published poetry, perhaps you recall the publisher, year of publication etc. If someone can prove that a reputable publisher has published a book of Mr. Stahl's poetry, I would be happy to change my vote. --JJay 16:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete apparently NN; a picture without red eye would be good too. --MacRusgail 17:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. And Bostonjon, please stop voting "Do Not Delete" over and over, you're only supposed to vote once. StarryEyes 18:24, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Do Not Delete I am shocked to see that this page is being considered for deletion. I am from Dorchester, Massachusetts (a part of Boston) and can corroborate the fact that Mason "Spray" Stahl is a rising player in the Boston hip/hop scene. He has achieved a decent amount of notorioty among fans of hip/hip and poetry in the area and he is deserving of a page. I strongly urge those considering the deletion of this page to not do so since they obviously are not familiar with the Boston hip/hop music scene. "Spray" is undoubtedly an important part of the development of rap in the area and he should be recognized for his achievements.130.64.157.124 19:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Do Not Delete. I just noticed that Spray Stahl had an entry on wikipedia and was thrilled. I've been following this guy forever, he's going to be huge someday. I saw that the article was up for deletion and that member "BostonJon" was the sole defender for this artists page. If you want to call him just an "artist". He's really a renaissance man. He does it all. Actually if you watch his documentary its cool because he during the credits he's actually the one rapping in that song "hate this". My friend burned me all his CDs, so I dont have any of the information per se, but I know that I could find it in time. Just don't delete this page yet and I'll try and find the info. Try and be understanding, if I put a page up about my band, 23 cents, you probably wouldn't find anything online at all except the four tracks we put on Kazaa. So, stay classy, and don't forget, even Jay-Z was an unknown once too, but that's the whole point of Wikipedia, to put more accessible information on the web...right? 130.64.157.66 19:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - The above two votes are from anonymous "users" and thus should not be counted. Note the similarity in IP address, probably has a DHCP connection and just switched off and switched on his modem. Also note the use of the phrase "Do Not Delete" instead of the more conventional "Keep"...much in the style of a certain Bostonjon, whom I enjoined to stop the ballot-stuffing. My guess is he's not heeding. StarryEyes 21:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a credible page and your moves to delete it are incredulous. Please acknowledge that "Spray" is a well-known rapper throughout Boston and therefore qualifies for a wikipedia page.Rapstar 19:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. No grounds for deletion and therefore I cannot in good conscious vote for a deletion of this page. Arr34 19:27, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - Above two votes obvious Sockpuppets. After my notice that Bostonjon was still ballot-stuffing by making himself anonymous and typing in the same unfamiliar-with-Wikipedia style, he altered his style slightly (retaining of course abysmal spelling) and created two throwaway identities--whose only contribution to Wikipedia are these votes. Just like the two anonymous votes above, they were submitted just minutes apart. If you think the Wikipedia admins are dumb enough to fall for that, you're sorely mistaken. Rest assured, Bostonjon, if your chicanery does manage to fool somebody, I will immediately submit to AFD again. Bottom line: all keep/do-not-delete votes have been submitted by the same person StarryEyes 20:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. non-notable. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 21:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- '"Keep"' Who cares about what this kid is doing to procrastinate? Its better than doing crack or beating up women and children. So Mason "Spray" wants to beef up his "street cred" by pushing his image on wikipedia, SO WHAT? You guys have been critizing him and BostonJon (PS, a "BlowJob" joke?), giving him all this crap. Well if he's such a loser for pumping Spray on wikipedia during his free time, then you guys are just as bad for trying to get him knocked off wikipedia. WHO CARES? Honestly, I have no idea whether or not he exists, and truthfully, I dont care. But BostonJon says he knows him, who's to say he doesn't? Just go with the flow, people, go with the flow. -Zeppelin1969 {I hate you people} —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.64.157.153 (talk • contribs) 02:20, 25 October 2005 (UTC).
Please keep. My children enjoy his rap, and think he is wicked hot. We recently saw him rapping in the streets of Harvard Square and can not get him off of our mind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.163.100.199 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 25 October 2005.
- Comment. This is ridiculous. This entire argument is ridiculous. There is no evidence that Spray exists or does not exist. Because there is no evidence that "Spray" exists, excepting of course this article, we must chose to delete. Unless of course this is his breakout article, the first of many to follow which will create the embediment of support for this up and coming rapper, then the fact that there is no evidence that he does not exist takes precedence and we must choose to keep. If, however, this is merely an attempt to create a false buzz over an unspectacular act trying to make a name for himself and his lyrical accomplishments, we must decide to delete. But, since there is at least one, and most likely more, fan of Mason Stahl and his verbal assault on the current rap scene, as evidenced by the time spent on the creation and support of this page we must assume that Mason 'Spray" Stahl has done something of a meritorious nature, worthy of his supporter's time and effort, so we must, ultimately choose to keep. -JEA —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.122.49.113 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 25 October 2005.
- DELETE. Starry is right: If you'll look closely, you'll see everything that is not a delete vote appears to be from the same user. Also, take a gander at the edit history: [29] an anon user took off the "unsigned" tag from the Zeppelin1969 comment. Stop the insanity, people. (Person?) Please, someone just delete this already.Xa! 09:18, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep So he's unpopular as of yet. Does that mean his article should be deleted? So his 'Albums' were either self-produced or produced by a tiny company. Does that mean his article should be deleted? Google The Yorkies or Bravo Charlie. Both are unknown groups from the Boston area produced on a label so small, you won't find references online. They exist. And just because those who support him are unfamiliar with wikipedia doesn't warrant a deletion. Just keep it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.83.57.124 (talk • contribs) 15:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC).

- Keep. I must say that many of you should be ashamed of how you are conducting this discussion. Most of the votes calling for the deletion of this article are not based on anything legitimate and are simply due to a personal vendetta against Mason Stahl. Some of you are criticizing his supporters because of their lack of knowledge regarding wikipedia conventions. Others are trying to marginalize him by poking fun at the fact that there is red eye in his picture. This behavior is immature and malicious. It is comments like those that intimidate some people from making contributions to wikipedia. We should all be grateful that this article was submitted and should hope for the expansion of this incredible resource. Every contribution works towards our goal of achieving greater understanding of the universe. To those who contributed this page, which I find no reason to question, I applaud you and to those of you who are trying to marginalize Mr. Stahl shame on you. It is my dream to one day see wikipedia become a fountain of information that will educate the world and lift us out of this shroud of ignorance that is responsible for the problems facing the world today. While a page concerning a rapper may seem insignificant to some we must approach this topic in an objective manner and realize that to many people throughout the globe rap is a powerful force that is capable of great change. I once again strongly urge all of you to vote to keep this page. Muzakman 16:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC) Note: all user's edits save one in relation to article and this AFD
- That's right. Mason Stahl killed Kenny. The bastard!!! Seriously though, have you even read the guidelines at WP:NMG? If Spray meets any of those guidelines, please provide proof and we'll gladly reconsider the case. Otherwise, the article is going to be deleted. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 15:44, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep!! I also attend Tufts University, where Mason is well-known for his rhymes - nonnotable he definitely is NOT. As well, I've seen him filming his new movie around campus, so whoever claims his page is unverifiable is obviously just looking in the wrong places. Xoxomandeeness Note: user's first and only edit
- Comment i already voted keep, so i wont again. i also duplicated the page under Spray (rapper). you caught me. see, i really thought id be able to trick you. guess not. in any case, i agree (in principle) with muzakman. while i have my doubts that wikipedia will put an end to world hunger, prejudice, and hate, i do agree that the idea is to post useful information for others to read and learn about. the fact that you all dont know about spray is perfect reason to keep him on wikipedia. and the reason so many of the Keep votes are newcomers is beacuse in the boston area (particularly Tufts campus) he's well known, and theres a bit of a word-of-mouth campaign to save this page on pricniple. im not in the area right now (actually in europe), but i have some friends that are attending tufts and i did meet spray shortly before i left this year. hes real. whether or not there's other information on the internet, the stuff here is real. and thats why i duplicated it, becuase its deserves to stay up. i didnt expect the dupe to stay long, and i was right. egal. take care. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.83.63.14 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC).
- Keep I am in total agreement with the person writing above. This page has even greater value than many other pages because it is (as far as I know) the only comprehensive source on information about Mason "Spray" Stahl. The argument that since no other information is easily found on Mr. Stahl we should choose to delete him is unsound and lacks any real logical foundation. Why, I ask you, would we want wikipedia to become simply a source that replicated information already available. We want wikipedia to become a source that that not only organizes, expands, and codifies information that is already available but also becomes a source for new developments in the realm of global information. Let me posit a scenario in which those who have voted to delete this page had found existing information about Mr. Stahl on the web. Would you then have deemed this page to be one of value to the wikipedia informational catalogue. You probably would have and that is where your logic (or lack thereof) fails me. Those sites would signal to you that he is notable because someone invested time to create and maintain those pages. Well then this wikipedia page should also be an indicator of Mr. Stahl's significance in the rap community because like any other webpage this wikipedia page too took some fan's time to create. This fan had the noble goal of making previously unknown information available to the entire world. To this fan I commend your efforts to help in the education of humanity. I also want to highlight the outpouring of support and discussion concerning this page by so many people which seems to illuminate the fact the Mr. Stahl does have a following and is therefore significant. This logic that since no other pages currently exist about a person/topic means it should be deemed insignificant is both a great injustice to goals of wikipedia and is a terrible policy to abide by. Was Emily Dickinson famous in her lifetime? No. She lived in ananomity and was only discovered posthumosly. With the advent of the internet I believed that the dissemination of information would help to prevent this from happening again. I urge you not to let a whole generation miss out on the enrichment and enjoyment that can be derived from knowing about and experiencing Mr. Stahl's work. I for one will fight to ensure that Mr. Stahls messages are spread throughout the world in this present day and I will commit myself to the struggle against the inequity that would befall both Mr. Stahl and the international community should he be silenced by his opponents. Thank you Arr34 17:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC). NOTE: user already voted above.
- User:Arr34 asks, "Why, I ask you, would we want wikipedia to become simply a source that replicated information already available." Answer: Because that's what Wikipedia is. It's an encyclopedia. Articles need to be verifiable. Wikipedia is not a free host or webspace provider. If Spray needs a place to put up information about himself, he should make a web page with an ISP, or on MySpace. That is the glory that is the Internet. Once he becomes an established rapper/artist that meets inclusion guidelines, then he deserves a Wikipedia article. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 18:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mischief Masters: A New Master
Seems like vanity. By the article's own admit, this movie is in limited release and not something you'd put in an encyclopedia. Ifnord 14:09, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Contrary to what some people say, the Mischief Masters do exist and therefor deserve a spot in the Wikipedia. The Mischief Masters haven't reached national fame yet, but they're working very hard to do so by producing products like their movie A New Master. People who don't believe it should check their IMDB page. For further proof they could look at the biggest Dutch DVD site DVD-home since they devoted a artikel to the Masters. Doubters will see for themselves that there IS a movie made. The page is written in Dutch, but does contain screenshots. I do agree that there isn't a Mischeif Masters series since there is only one movie made with a second production coming.
The url to the article mentioned: http://www.dvd-home.nl/nieuws/oud2004.htm#8 The Masters are displayed just above the "Augustus" (August) banner.

- Keep This is actually a much better article than I expected it to be from the title. I expected a poopile of neologisms and insults based on individual players. Instead, it's a tight little glossary of the nomenclature used in these games. Terms like "mob", "buff", "con", "train" and the like are certianly used a lot and aren't particularly obvious. It could still use a little cleanup, specifically removing the words that are general internet/chat terms ("AFK") or general RPG terms ("NPC", "level", "class") or generally general terms in general ("WTB"). Overall, though, this is a good article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mooka Mookason
This article was apparently created by User:Francoislamini (Contributions) about his cat. Now, I like cats, but this one is not especially notable. User has not edited since creating this article in July. Delete, along with Image:Jungle_Mooka.jpg. Joel7687 00:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as {{db-bio}}. I have listed it as such. Consider merge with Pussy. —Gaff ταλκ 02:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, one Google hit, [30], but as for this speedy business... do you really think cats are "persons"? CanadianCaesar 02:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- An article about a non-noatable cat is not an unreasonable thing to have listed as {{db-bio}}. I relisted the article for speedy, but typed out {{db|non-notable story about somebody's cat}}. This takes more time, however, and just prolongs a process. The article will obviously end up being deleted, but on AfD it will require lots more effort that would be better spent elsewhere. Storys about cats are still somewhat like bios. Even you voted delete!—Gaff ταλκ 02:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy delete under A7 if covered by guidelines, delete as vanity otherwise and change the guidelines allowing us to delete pets, housing and other items associated with non-notable people to be speedy deleted unless they are notable in their own right. If a person is not-notable, it would be difficult to argue that their cat is notable. The claim is that a game is being written about the moggy but this game has not been completed, let alone sold.

- This is not, and should not be a speedy candidate, because it makes a claim of notability: Being part of "project mooka". OK, not a very convincing claim at the moment but a claim. A cat can be notable if it's the subject of a notable project, and for all we know project mooka will become one. Kappa 10:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- The "Project Mooka" isn't well attested; the Sourceforge link on the page is invalid. As such, the claim of notability is spurious, and it becomes a candidate for speedy deletion. (I put the speedy tag back on). Pilatus 13:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, author is "trying" to put the cat in a game. Cat itself is unremarkable and not different from a cartload of other cats. On top of that the project is "expected to make this idea a reality". There's thousends of projects that start and never get finished. Delete until such a time the project which is its assertion of notability actually exists (and is verifiable). Then we can reconsider it. - Mgm|(talk) 14:34, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Speedy delete we used to say things like "What if someone wrote an article about their cat?" when debating notability as a deletion criterion. Well, I guess it finally happened. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:24, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- We are debating if the article should be deleted now or in five days from now because someone asserted that that cat is the protagonist in a video game for which no one has proof that it even exists exists. Stop the insanity! Pilatus 20:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- We are debating whether the article should be deleted with or without the community getting a chance to see it first. Kappa 21:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- For this article I see a consensus for a speedy delete. Actually this entry is a poor test case to discuss where CSD:A7 should stop, it's so obvious that the article ought to go away. (Contestants on reality TV shows tend to be kept, but should an entry on an otherwise unknown person on a planned reality TV show be sent to AfD instead of getting speedily deleted? I think not.) Pilatus 22:24, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- We never keep anything based on potential future achievements. Otherwise, we'd be keeping articles on babies because they might win an Oscar or Nobel Prize someday. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- So if a baby was the unique focus of a progam designed to produce a future Nobel Prize winner, it would still be a speedy candidate? Kappa 22:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- There are lots of those programs going on already. They're called overachieving parents. Seriously, this isn't Laika we're talking about here. This is some dude who kinda-sorta thinks it might be cool to make a game about his cat, but hasn't bothered to put up the Sourceforge page yet (or anything else, either, since Mooka Mookason gets 0 Google hits). Let's look at this piece-by-piece for a moment: Most games are notable, but not every one. Many game characters are notable, many are not. People/creaures on whom game characters are based are rarely notable (even Mario Segali is barely a stub). But none of that even applies here because the game hasn't even been created yet, nor even started by the looks of things. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- You're saying that we shouldn't have the chance to double check. Kappa 00:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- In this case, there's nothing to check or double-check. The linked-to Sourceforge site doesn't exist, and Google shows zero results. Neither does Yahoo or AllTheWeb. I suppose that one could go to the library and look up Mooka Mookason in the card catalog, the Reader's Guide To Periodical Literature and the Encyclopaedia Brittanica too, but since I'm not in an absurdist mood today I'll skip that step and assume there's nothing about Mooka in there either. If any of this were in the least bit disputable, I'd agree with you. Currently I read 9 "speedy" votes and 7 "delete" votes, with nary a "keep" vote in site, even from yourself. A strong consensus already exists to delete, and further voting would be no more than an exercise in beaurocracy. In fact, come to think of it, WP policy actually discourages voting on AfDs if "consensus you agree with has already been formed". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- LOL I wrote that part, the reason I haven't said "delete" is because there is already a consensus to do so. We don't need any more votes, but also we don't need to rewrite the speedy policy just because this article happens to be about a real cat not a fictional one. Kappa 00:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- The absurdity of the situation isn't about real vs. fictional, but animal vs. human. I've written an article about a dog, so I know something in this area. If this article were about a human, it would be an easy uncontested speedy. Since it's a cat, it doesn't strictly fit the letter of the speedy criteria, but many feel it does fit the spirit, which is why there are more Speedy votes than Delete votes. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:04, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- What does "being licensed" have to do with it? It is verifiable - that is the only criteria for this encyclopedia. WP is not the government.--Nicodemus75 23:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- If a school is licensed, information about it is collected, monitored, and verified by the government. The government is our reliable source in such a case. We need at an absolute minimum one reliable source of information. The school's web site, is not reliable or impartial. It's a private site. The complete lack of verifiable on information has already caused a problem with editing, since the school's claim to accept regardless of creed is highly dubious, yet we have no way of checking this. A licensed school would have any mandatory admission rules stated in its license (or charter), and we could check what that rule is. In this caes, the school can say anything, and we can't challenge it. --rob 23:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- That might be the case with claims or details about the school, but that has little, if anything to do with the existence of the article on WP itself (and the point of the AfD process). The website has photos, extensive information which is easily verifiable through a websearch and white page/yellow page listings. If you want to debate the inclusion of it's admission rules or other specifics is not a question appropriate to AfD which deals with the existence of the article itself.--Nicodemus75 23:53, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surly Lake
- Delete This page appears to be a hoax by some bored kids. No hits on google for Surly Lake Canada. The external links provided lead to fake webpages. The article is full of meaningless details e.g. the town celebrates Christmas. The bored kids have asked for more time to prove their town exists, so I tagged it afd rather than speedy delete. Although according to them it only has 82 people, so may be non-notable even if real. Bwithh 09:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Again, give me more time. I will post proof. I spent lots of time writing up that page for our settlement and I don't want to do it again. Just let me have more time. Anyone who reads Wikipedia will be fine with it.

- This is such patent over-the-top nonsense. I can't decide whether my favourite part is the "Surly Lake Broadcasting Corporation" operating on a channel that doesn't exist on the television dial, the two hockey teams trading a pennant back and forth in a town that barely has the population to cobble one whole team together, the three-hour war on the Canadian government, or the civic events list that consists of Christmas, New Years and St. Patrick's Day (optional). Or maybe my favourite part is the website, where the photo of "our new beautifull town hall" clearly has Trail (which is in British Columbia) written on the water tower. Or where the town receptionist's phone number has an exchange code that resolves to North Battleford. I hereby deem this both a speedy and a "deleted protected page" until further notice.

- Comment This could be an interesting subject. I know people who went there, and supposedly Wooster didn't have nationals for decades because of a bequest from a former student that had been badly hazed that conditioned the money on no frats. I don't know the exact story, but it did lead to lots of oddities in Wooster Greek life, like no real houses (just halls in particular dorms, usually the bad ones). A2Kafir 23:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep - Wooster does in fact have an unusual history of fraternities, and this article is a reasonable spin-off of the main article. Snowspinner 21:52, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Additional comment - the creator of the article, in the first deletion debate, notes that he made a trip to special collections to verify his facts. Which is to say, this article is the product of real work and real research. Yeah, there are more notable topics, and it could be formatted away from a list. But I really wish we would stop rewarding hard work on articles with "Delete nn." Multiple times. Snowspinner 22:18, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Good enough in its field, and in any case "delete, I don't know what this is about" is not a sensible deletion reason - David Gerard 21:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete. The introduction doesn't establish the point of the article, except that a bunch of things are "mysterious," and it's just a list of fraternities with a few incidents of history thrown in. I would not be opposed to a shorter article that was about history, which cited sources for necessary facts about fraternities instead of listing them all. Honestly, this sort of seems to be a FAQ (or correction of common misconceptions, maybe) about the fraternities at the college, but Wikipedia is not an indescriminate collection of information. Am I wrong to vote delete on an article that might be rewritten completely with some of the same content, but is currently not at all an encyclopedia article? -- SCZenz 01:05, 26 October 2005 (UTC)- Merge per MacRusgail, after taking out all the lists of fraternities. I see no evidence the history is uninteresting, and there's no reason for the college not to have a section on fraternity history. -- SCZenz 01:07, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Ultimately uninteresting to me and needs some cleanup, (especially in the lead) but should be kept. Unfocused 03:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment (no vote). I was the person to nominate this article the first time. I go to this college. I am not a Greek student, but have no problem with Greeks. At the time, the reason why I nominated was because the article was both POV and unverified, and, at the time, it seemed like that wasn't going to change. I had no idea where the author had originally gotten his information. Those two problems were resolved during the first AfD debate. I personally have an appreciation for the article now, though there are still problem areas, but I am not voting; I think my attending the school and my interactions with greeks color my judgment too much. --Jacquelyn Marie 03:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Underwater megalithic structures off US coast
The page is a mis-interpretation of some ocean mapping, to suggest "structures" where none exist. No other references support the article's assertions apart from a single blog post. See the article's talk page for a fuller explanation. frankh 22:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, all UFO landing strips lacking credible sources. Kappa 01:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. But my reason is that it's a non-notable theory. It's probably not original research. The two "references" say nothing about underwater megalithic structures. However, the article does cite a blog, so unless 210.15.200.244 is Marty M, it's not original research. Although this is silly nonsense, this certainly could be an article if it should be shown that Marty M's theory was widely disseminated and had a large number of adherences. It would of course need to be rewritten and retitled from a neutral point of view. The fact though is that Google shows no pages linking to the blog article, and the blog article shows no reader comments. Googling on exact phrase "Underwater megalithic structures off US coast" isn't impressive either; 41 hits but most of them are to copies of the Wikipedia article.

Keep.A Google search returns 764 hits. This is a somewhat popular neologism that is accepted among more than just a few forums. However, the article seems to pertain to a specific internet forum, so its content should be overwritten. The emergence of this term is probably related to the increased interest in weather among the general American population due to the severity of the 2004 and 2005 Atlantic hurricane seasons. --TantalumTelluride 21:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Even as a mildly popular neologism, the article could not reasonably be more than a short dicdef, which belongs in Wiktionary rather than here. If that were the article's content, I'd vote transwiki, but since it isn't, there's no point in editing it to that level and then transwiki-ing it. MCB 01:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Delete. I still think that an article about this neologism could have potential, but its creator and some IP's are just trying to use it as a discussion forum. And, of course, Wikipedia is not a web-hosting service. --TantalumTelluride 17:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Needs major cleanup but why not keep it? It is a topic of conversation and part of the new 21st Century vernacular among those in the Scientific Community.

I believe the article in question can be re-written and retained in Wikipedia or at least retained in one of your other wikipedian branches, such as the Wiktionary or in one of the other Wikis. Please consider my proposal. Jeb
