[edit] Alexandar J. Hossler

Getting knives stuck in your gut is unfortunate, but doesn't necessarily make you notable. -- Kjkolb 07:15, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. To me this looks like a hoax as well. Searching for 'Alexander Hossler tornado' on Google turned up nothing. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as, hoax or not, the article does not establish notability. Sliggy 13:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Barrows

Article does not establish notability. She gave somebody some "unspecified information". --Lee Hunter 02:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Looks to be of some historical significance. Maybe merge into article on Red-scare, McCarthyism, etc.—Gaff ταλκ 03:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Thankfully, establishing notability is irrelevant to deletion policy. So is the comment about "unspecified information" - how about improving the article? Trollderella 03:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
WP is not an indiscriminate collection of information --Lee Hunter 11:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Content has been added and clarified (a portion of the decrypts were unrecoverable). nobs 03:58, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
A huge amount of fluff was added to make it look substantial. I still don't see anything there except for a name. When you boil it down the entire article is that this person gave some unspecified information to another person. That's it. The rest is all background information about other people --Lee Hunter 11:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Lee Hunter. Maybe we should have an article on the "Wirt Incident" if it is as important as this article claims, and give Alice Barrows a mention there. But no more than that. flowersofnight 13:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and maybe if/when appropriate target is made, it can be merged/re-directed. --rob 14:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: notable enough for me, merge later if appropriate. -- Kjkolb 18:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, assuming the sources are legitimate. --TantalumTelluride 22:27, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep communist infiltration. Klonimus 02:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Once you scrape away the background, there's nothing left that'S actually biographical. Less than a footnote in history. --Calton | Talk 00:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Googled both Barrows and Wirt with no hits on either one. They may have existed but they are evidently not noteworhty.-Dakota 00:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP. This is a perfectly good article. What is great about Wikipedia is that more information can be added in the days to come. The person is of interest and note! The user who put this iformation up for deletion is a known censor on articles such as this. If the article is erased from Wikipedia it will never be allowed to be brought back. Absolutely notable. Keep! Dwain

[edit] Anaconda (poker)

Instructions for playing a game. -- Kjkolb 23:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • keep Does appear to be an existing poker variant (a few hundred google hits for "anaconda poker"). Definitely needs expansion though: the problem with this article is not what it is, but what it currently lacks. Dxco 00:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: if it was turned into an actual article, I might say keep, but this is just a how-to guide. -- Kjkolb 01:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Hart

NN. Probably vanity. Delete --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as per WP:V and WP:BIO. There is nothing relevant in Google from a search for "Andrew Hart" explorer as the pages all refer to Internet Explorer. The article concludes "Little else is known about this reclusive fellow."

Capitalistroadster 06:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy nn vanity. -- NSLE (Communicate!) <Contribs> 10:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this is not a speedy, as there is a claim (regardless of the merit of the claim). The real problem here, is there's nothing no source of info to write an article here. I don't worry about WP:BIO, until WP:V is taken care of. --rob 14:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Animal rights activism

This article is very slight, and violates NPOV in its content. The bias of this article suggests that the majority of animal rights activists support activism through criminal acts. Rewriting this article shouldn't even be necessary, it can simply be redirected to the already thorough and much more NPOV animal rights article.

  • Delete per nomination and redirect to animal rights. I haven't simply changed the article to a redirect because there is some content being maintained in it. Dayv 18:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect. Redundant and misleading. Agree with the nom. Devotchka 18:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak DeleteThe article is much more concise than the one on animal rights, but is somewhat redundant although it distills one facet of the animal rights debate into a readable article. Ultimately I think the animal rights article could probably do with pruning, at which point this definitely would be redundant. - Just zis Guy, you know? 21:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete As above Honbicot 22:25, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - the Animal rights article is getting long. I can see a role here for an article specifically about activism, as opposed to philosophy (etc) which is covered at the animal rights article. Johntex\talk 22:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. The whole animal rights issue is undeniably POV and prone to emotionalist cant from both 'pro' and 'anti'. If this article is to be kept then it should be a sub-section of animal rights rather than a stand alone. Eddie.willers 02:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Lots of things inspire strong feelings, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be covered. - Just zis Guy, you know? 08:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bakal

Incorrectly tagged as speedy with this note: not noteworthy enough for own article, already addressed at List_of_species_in_fantasy_fiction Listing here. No vote. · Katefan0(scribble) 19:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as per above WAvegetarian 19:43, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

*Keep, real fictional character, would belong in an encyclopedia of whatever work it's from. Kappa 05:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

    • Abstain since the list and the article disagree. Kappa 14:38, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. We all agree that it's real. It just isn't separately notable from Dragon Lance. Please see the comment above and page link. As, in it's current state, it only duplicates info found at the above link, it should be deleted, unless you think that it will at some ppoint be changed into a full article. In that case, would you write a stub for it?WAvegetarian 08:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is not much more content in the article than in the list (even though the list extends only to mentioning the species and fantasy of residence. According to the article, the Bakal are not a species, but a single character, in which case the entry in the list mentioned above should also be edited out. Saberwyn 08:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Beepjeep

Apparently not a neologism, this word "stems back to ancient roman times, referring to a 'Lord BeepJepaniar' who ruled the land of BoopJooria." The problem is that this is quite unverifiable, where and when was BoopJooria? Hoax, unverifiable, not a common term anyway. Borders onto patent nonsense. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Can't we speedy it for being patently untrue? Average Earthman 12:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • It has been pointed out to me that sometimes apparently insane comments from from a work of fiction, warranting inclusion. However, since this one states it comes from the mind of someone who's article has been deleted twice (and was created by the same person as this page), this would not appear to be the case.

[edit] Bobertism

No factual content, created by friends who thought it was amusing...after originally fixing it up thought better of it and decided to mark it for deletion Robbjedi 02:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

It does have factual content. While I have to agree that it was amusing that is not a good criterion for deleting it. It is a factual article detailing facts about a religion. just because it is not a very mainstrwam religion does not give you grounds to discriminate against it.

[edit] Cheneygate

This appears to be a neologism. Yahoo search yields ten hits [4]. Article is redundant, appears to exist solely for POV pushing; all of its content appears in other articles, such as Plame affair Brandon39 22:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Neologism, no legs yet (although I get about 112 non-wiki hits on Google).  BD2412 talk 22:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep The only problem with this article is the fact that it does not note that the scandal is also called "Libbygate," "Rovegate," and "Plamegate" by some commentators. Combined, these names get huge numbers of hits. (It makes sense to write the -gate article on this scandal in Cheneygate because Cheney is the most notable.) It's safe to say that -gate whatever is becoming the common name for this stroy. JMaxwell 22:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • The problem is not the failure to note alternative names, it's the fact that the name of the article is not in anything resembling mainstream use. Maybe it will be in the future, but it is not the function of Wikipedia to get it there, or to report it before it's there. I suppose a redirect would be harmless at this point, tho.  BD2412 talk 03:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

This seems unfair I was told stories as a child about these toads, and how they would lie in wait for the unwary Eastern Europian (although Croatia wasn't specified). My grandfather, whose family was Polish, told tales of how they would come raiding in the winter. Now whether this was true or not is debatable, but surely the article should be preserved as an example of the rich folklore of these parts?

[edit] Dark Order of the Messiah

Article is about a secret society devoted to resurrecting Satan as a mortal. No details are given regarding this process. Or indeed any verifiable facts at all. Also, unless I've misunderstood something a central figure appears to travel back in time at one point from 1871 to 1771. This article has been speedied twice as nonsense, which seems a little harsh as it is not patent nonsense. Additionally the page creator has indicated unhappiness with the application of the nonsense speedy tag. So I've brought it here for fuller consideration. My opinion is that it is confused and confusing, unverifiable and unencyclopedic. Sliggy 17:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete for the reasons above. Sliggy 17:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

    • So Wikipedia has rules; a person has to be notable to have an article on here. Bearcat 22:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
      • So what you're saying is that just because Google doesn't post it, the author can't be posted? Google doesn't bring up every author, you know. Especially not in Northern Ontario. Encyclopediae are supposed to cover as much knowledge as possible. If you really want, I'll send you a copy of the book. It's entitled "The Rest Has Yet to Be Written", published by "PublishAmerica". Just look up Bernardi in the North Bay phone book; there are only two families with that last name. Hint: Don't start in alphabetical order. Sheesh. (comment left by User:24.235.185.65}
        • He published his book with PublishAmerica, the known vanity publisher?

Just existing isn't enough; being able to mail me a copy of the book isn't enough. Bearcat 00:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Demosphere

This seems to be advertising, and is about a website that is not notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article ---Aude 15:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Alexa says no information, presumably because it is new; Google gives a respectable 451 results for 'Demosphere Schroder]. For now I vote keep and copyedit so it does not read like advertising, and watch like a hawk to check that the site does develop into something notable. It may go belly-up quite quickly, or it may thrive. But strip out all those pointless interwiki links to voting systems. David | Talk 15:10, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination. - Oldsoul is the primary author of this article. He/she had added this site as an external link to Canada, Alberta, and Edmonton, Alberta. I wouldn't have noticed thie article had it not been for the linkspam. ---Aude 15:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The categories in this article were entered with a "|" and a space afterwards, in order to force this article (inappropriately) to the top of the category listings, which seems like a clear attempt at promotion or advertising. --Kevin Myers | on Wheels! 18:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Looks like advertising. --Carnildo 23:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I know that it says not to modify this page, however I'm not sure where the "appropriate discussion page" is. I think this was far too speedy of a deletion, and especially because the votes were essentially 2-1, when I of course would have also voted to keep it, that would have made it 2-2. "Looks like advertising" is not nearly as strong an arguement as the hits on google (400+). This was deleted because "Demosphere.net" is simply not as big a site as say, Indymedia.org. But where do we draw that line? There are many many regional Indymedia.org sites which are barely active and yet Indymedia has a strong article presence on wikipedia.org.
Given that this project had garnered press on both wikinews and indymedia.org, I think it's fair to say that Demosphere deserves an article on wikipedia as well. As far as the categorization mark-up, I had no knowledge as to the effects of including the "|" separator beyond the stylisitc effect which I've seen on other pages.
Instead of deleting this article I think those who voted for a deletion should have made an effort to improve the NPOV, which given the effort put into it by myself and other colleagues, had been achieved, but obviously could have been improved upon.
I'm not sure if there's any way to retrieve the article, if not to re-instate it based on my defense here, but then at least to move it to a personal temp page. Thank you for your time and understanding. Oldsoul 22:02, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dextroverse

The web site is non-notable and thus, doesnt deserve a seperate article on on Wikipedia.

I know the dexheads will swarm this with their over-the-top harm reduction beliefs but just listen for a second first. The Dextroverse already has a link at the bottom of the non-medical use of DXM page so having a seperate article is no necessary. It is not like the Dextroverse is as noteworthy as Erowid. delete There is nothing to merge that isn't already there. --Arm 17:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eleven international publishing

Hmm. Well, they do genuinely exist, but you'd think an internationally-known publisher of academic textbooks and such would have more than ~90 Google hits, wouldn't you? DS 14:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep noteworthy publisher of academic texts. I've seen numerous notable items fail Google tests and this seems to be one such cases. Google is not the end all to establish whether we should have an article on something. - Mgm|(talk) 20:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the article. I am an author and editor at eleven myself having an experience of roundabout 30 years in editing and publishing with various distinguished international publishing houses. But I never worked with a publisher which offered such a good professional support and service to their authors and editors like eleven. Therefore I think that information about eleven should be made available to a broad public via Wikipedia. M.Benkö http://www.uni-koeln.de/jur-fak/instluft/index-e.html

[edit] Family Altar Christian School

Average grade school, not notable --Bitmappity 04:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. For some reason, nominating schools for deletion is one of the most controvbersial things you can do on Wikipedia. Nonetheless, this article has serious deficienies, first and foremost the article doesn't say where the school is located, although a Google check indicates that it is in Battle Creek, Michigan. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverified. I just see some directory listings of the school, and don't see adequate info for an article. The one in Battle Creek seems to be the one mentioned (as said above), but it's not made clear in the article. In any event, the school closed in 2002, so there seems little point or potential in an article. --rob 10:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: A reminder why sites like "privateschoolreview.com" should not be overly relied on is here. Notice it doesn't bother saying the school is closed. It makes no mention of the new Calhoun Christian School. --rob 12:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, horribly small and incomplete stub, non-verified topic, and private school... comes together to equal a big fat delete.Gateman1997 17:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Even with rewrite my vote remains delete as the new school this article points to is even less notable then the unverifiable one the article originally was implied as being attached to.Gateman1997 22:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unverifiable, unexpandable, and even defunct. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverifiable and fails to discuss the school the article is named after. Also doesn't say enough about the other one. - Mgm|(talk) 20:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. So as I understand it, it's about a little school, that's been closed for 3 years? It could be made into a one sentence addition to the article about the school that replaced it. --inksT 20:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The article has been rewritten. Call (269) 965-0488 tomorrow and see if they're actually closed, I am unable to find any references online regarding the closure of this school. Silensor 22:35, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • There is no way of telling which Family Altar Christian School the author had in mind, since no sources were provided in the original article before it was rewritten. But the fact that the Battle Creek Community Foundation recently set aside $13,800 for the one in Battle Creek, Michigan [7] leads me to believe this one is still alive and well, so I will vote accordingly.
    • That's the DEFINITION of original research. Wikipedia is not the place to publish the info you get from contacting the articles subject! - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 22:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
      • You miss my point, completely. What evidence is there that the school is closed? I just provided an external link which demonstrates that a great deal of money was granted to this school during the 2004-2005 school year. There is an obvious discrepancy here if someone else believes the school closed in 2002. Silensor 22:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
        • If there's no independently verifiable information, it's time to just put this one to rest. What are you going to do when you do call them? How is that at all a verifiable source?
          This is another problem with school articles in general. You're forced to rely on contacting the subject to get most of the information. How is someone, person or entity, ever a reliable source when their own interests are involved? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
          • No one is forced to do anything to get information. If you wish to conveniently ignore the fact that a generous sum of money was donated to this school, according to the link I just cited, then by all means please continue revelling in all your bliss. Save your dime and read the link. Silensor 23:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
            • You still have the problems of verifiability. How can you substantiate any of the claims even in this nascent article, other than information from the subject itself? For example, they have a very good student-to-teacher ratio; how do you know it's accurate? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
              • he told you go read the information on the link regarding verifiability and yet you still haven't done so. The verifiable accuracy of those aspects comes from the Battle Creek Enquirer newspaper, A profile published by a local newspaper is precisely the sort of source called for, (and used as an example) in WP:V. Professional journalistic publications are sufficient for WP purposes. It is also irrelevant if the information provided by the Battle Creek Enquirer is "true". It is clearly stated in WP:V "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.". --Nicodemus75 01:31, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep rewrite for the reasons expressed at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Silensor 22:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not because its a nonnotable school, but because Wikipedia is not a telephone directory. --TantalumTelluride 22:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - How is this not an advertisement for this school or a phone book entry, both things Wikipedia is not? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a phone directory. --Carnildo 23:43, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this perfectly good re-write, despite poorly conceived arguments by "those who routinely nominate and/or vote to delete school articles"--Nicodemus75 23:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, I'm somebody who "routinely nominates and/or votes to delete unverifiable articles". As mentioned above, the original version of this article stated the old school was closed, and kids went to the new Calhoun Christian School. It seems the existence of the new one proves the non-existance of the old one. Also, I don't have to prove this doesn't exist, the article must prove it does exist. This is a matter of policy per WP:V. Also, its seems odd to justify keeping an article on the grounds the original version was entirely wrong regarding the school's status. --rob 00:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Could be that the original version is this that or something else. It really doesn't matter if the original version of the article said "this is a sex school for crackheads on the dark side of Uranus". My vote, as clearly stated, is about keeping the re-write. It verifiably exists as referenced by the links added to the article and is verifiably a school. Two sources to verify it are provided along with it's address and phone number. Anyone who wishes to verify it can phone it. Phone a school to see if it is real is not "original research". Also, see my comments about re: the sourcing by the Battle Creek Enquirer, which as per WP:V is more than sufficient to meet the criteria of verifiability.--Nicodemus75 01:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

    • Real schools tend to be notable, but non-existant schools generally are not. Look at the article's own "source" at greatschools.net. It says the school is associated with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). However, ACSI does not show a school by this name in Battle Creek (or any similiar named school in the state). They do however list Calhoun Christian School. The original version was unverifiable (warranting deletion), but the new version is verifiably false (needing to be deleted even more). --rob 06:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as rewritten. Whether or not it is currently open is irrelevant; it is very verifiable that it once existed and is therefore notable. —RaD Man (talk) 05:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: I substantially revised the article, to put the school in the past tense. Anybody voting from now, should look in history, as there are at least three fundamentally different versions of the article, and it's anybody's guesse which one will be used if this article is kept. --rob 11:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

If you delete this article, I'll shit in your mouth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.153.179.147 (talk • contribs) UTC 15:04, 30 October 2005. The preceding comment was deleted by 68.62.15.170, the author of the comment below; I have restored it in all its glory. 68.62.15.170, please do not edit the votes and comments of others, even when they are of, uh, such sterling caliber as the one above. -- Captain Disdain 02:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC))

The Game Revolution gamepost is a forum for many people and it discusses many important topics. Not only does it keep up to date on everything videogame, but it has made strong friendships and even brought lovers together. The site is very important in the lives of many, and this page will give a history to ease the burden of retelling the story over and over. It will become more insightful as the history is written and will be very useful to hundreds of people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.62.15.170 (talk • contribs) UTC 16:00, 30 October 2005.

  • I understand where you're coming from, and please understand that this is not a slight on your community. If you want to document the history of your community, that's entirely understandable and even commendable. Go for it. However, Wikipedia is not the place to do it; it's not a free webhost provider. Generally speaking, "useful to hundreds of people" is not really enough to warrant inclusion to Wikipedia, unless it's a particularly obscure, yet notable topic. Gamepost, in the end, simply yet another web forum, and while I don't mean to belittle its significance to you, I must say that as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it's simply not big and influential enough to merit mention, any more than my personal blog or the various online forums I've been known to hang out at are; just because they're important to me, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world cares. That may sound cold, but please understand that I'm not trying to offend. We're building an encyclopedia, not a place where relatively small communities can showcase themselves. -- Captain Disdain 02:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • What about other forums that get mention such as Neowin? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Don Gero (talk • contribs) UTC 03:08, 31 October 2005.
      • Please sign your comments. You can do that by typing out four tildes, like this: ~~~~. That'll leave your username (or IP address) and the time when you left the comment -- that way everyone knows who said what. And to answer your actual question, I'm not actually all that familiar with Neowin, but judging by its article, it is a far more notable forum than Gamepost is. Honestly, it should be fairly obvious why this is the case, but since you ask, I'm going to quote a couple of relevant bits from the article: "Powered by Invision Power Board forum software, Neowin has an active technology forum consisting of 118,979 registered users (October 26, 2005) and more than 5 million posts." That's a lot of users right there. Compared to Gamepost's 10,000+ users, that's a whole different order of magnitude. Size does matter. One of their articles has also been the "most viewed story on Slashdot ever" -- not a huge claim to fame, but that's not easily pulled off, either. Apparently, theirs is a fairly influential webforum, and a very, very significant number of people go there for their Windows-related news. (Note that as 118,979 is just the number of registered users, it's likely that far more people actively follow it.) Gamepost, on the other hand, is not readily distinguishable from numerous other game forums. Also, please note that Neowin's forums do not have an article of their own. In fact, Game-Revolution already has an article on Wikipedia, and that's not going anywhere (though it could certainly use some work). The current consensus to merge the articles means that the (relevant and notable) information on the current Gamepost article is preserved and moved to Game-Revolution, so it's not like Gamepost is getting treated any different from Neowin. (Of course, if the forums themselves are somehow notable enough to deserve an article all their own, please tell us why this is so; if you can do that, I'm sure that we're more than willing to revise our votes. It's not an uncommon thing to happen during the AfD process, though I should probably point out that generally we favor hard facts over emotional pleas.) Hope this helps. -- Captain Disdain 03:53, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gnat line

Likely neologism. Google for "gnat line" georgia = ~900 hits: [9] Incorrectly tagged as speedy; listing here. No vote. · Katefan0(scribble) 05:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

*Delete It is a neologism, even if it happens to be a neologism mentioned at usinfo.state.gove. Also, it is not obvious to me that the supposed Gnat Line is caused by a Fall Line, or that the next reader would see any connection - therefore, I think that is the wrong place to redirect. If we keep, we should redirect to Gnat, but I think deletion is the best choice here. Johntex\talk 23:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • The gnat line has nothing to do with gnats, except that gnats are bothersome pests throughout the entire Southeast United States. There is no merit to the claim in the article that the gnat line is a congregation of gnats that bisects the state of Georgia. Gnat line is apparently a neologism refering to the fall line. --TantalumTelluride 23:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Nothing to do with gnats, eh? In that case Redirect to Fall line. Johntex\talk 08:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have deleted the nonesense in the article and replaced it with relatively factual information (and, I admit, some speculation). In any case, it is better now than it was before. Still, I think that it should be redirected to Fall line. --TantalumTelluride 04:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Green Tortoise

Two hotels and a bus make not an encyclopedia entry, except if it is vanity, spam, POV, like this. Dunc|☺ 13:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep - Unreal. Frustrating -- I suppose it makes sense that a flurry or work and changes would prompt it all getting deleted. This community is a legend with a group that is not extremely internet savvy (thus I'm sure it is weak on google test, etc -- actually ~60,000) Published in major magazine (travel weekly, 1987 [10]) I'm sure there are others. It dates back over 30 years and has had significant social impact, particularly on the west coas*t. As accused:
  • Vanity?, the article still reads like they'll take your money and drop you naked in the desert. (with a veggie meal)
  • spam? riiight.
  • The NPOV template was already on the page, we're working on it.
Amazed, best.. ;) ∴ here…♠ 14:23, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - a far from perfect article, but also very far from deserving deletion. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - Nothing in this article right now would make me vote keep. The best assertion of notability ("It dates back over 30 years and has had significant social impact, particularly on the west coast...") appears on this AfD and not in the article. If that statement is indeed WP:V and the article is updated to include contentions of notability, I would say keep.. but right now I just see a bus line and two hostels - that apparently provide lackluster service - with the greatest claim to notability being that they run a line to Burning Man. Abstaining to see if the article matures.--Isotope23 16:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
We are having serious issues adding anything to the article at all, as the POV discussion is rather heated. I will admit that finding verifiable information has been difficult, at best, but I think this is a problem with a word of mouth and pre-internet history. Their greatest claim to notabilty is the fame their bus line attained pre-burning man and pre-hostels. In particular, they ran a hop-on hop-off line up and down the west coast, which has since been discontinued. I'll see if I can find some verifiable sources reflecting my 30 years of impact statement today. ∴ here…♠ 18:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • That would be helpful and would probably go a long way towards making sure this doesn't get AfD'd again if indeed the information is verifiable. If the information is word of mouth, then yes you will have a problem sourcing it, but if there is pre-internet media about it (books, newspapers, magazines, etc.) a biliographic mention would establish verifibility... see Vampire Watermelon for example. Seems completely ridiculous, but it is supported by text in an anthropological book (incidentally, someone scanned the pages and posted them on the web as proof because this article went through a couple of AfDs). Just a suggestion because even if this survives AfD my guess is it will get nominated again at some point if no greater claim of notibility is made, or if the notability claims are not sourced.--Isotope23 20:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Extremely well known domestic hippy travel/adventure agency running trips along the west coast and across the country. Google gets 68,000 hits for the phrase, the first few pages of which all refer to this use of the term, including at least one site for dissatisfied customers. Bikeable 17:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Yes, the existing article has some POV problems, but since when is that grounds for deletion? We are working to achieve a consensus with all editors currently working on this article in the hopes of improving it to NPOV nature. The Tortoise is legendary in a number of circles, even if they aren't your circles. Kit 20:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A perfectly reasonable article that is not advertising.--Nicodemus75 00:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Added 7 additional sources. Will incorporate full text citations with additional time. Includes washington post, two new york times, a front page wall street journal western, travel weekly, etc. I assume this is enough for WP:V. ∴ here…♠ 00:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Imaginary antecedent

This appears to be a clear-cut case of Wikipedia:No original research, which is unfortunate, because it really is an interesting article. Delete, and maybe if it becomes standard terminology, we can dig this out again. —HorsePunchKid→龜 19:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment Does the policy on original research strictly exclude terminology that isn't "standard"? oneismany 10:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. No obvious examples of this being a current usage, and I have to say the first paragraph made my head spin. I can see where the author is going, the study of imaginary objects which assume a life outside the fiction in which they appear is sometimes quite interesting (especially the Hith-Hiker's Guide, which Adams did get going as h2g2.com) but I'm not sure this is the right place for it, and as currently written it certainly counts as original research. - Just zis Guy, you know? 20:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment No research is involved, it is only a combination of existing topics. The use of 'undecidability' to relate the topics is verifiable from published sources oneismany 10:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This doesn't seem to be original research. Google returns 8 hits for the search term "imaginary antecedent." Eight hits isn't a lot, but enough to support that this isn't the author's original research. —Brim 20:58, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Commment I believe you are misinterpreting what Wikipedia means by original research. If an expert writes a book which becomes a well regarded publication on its topic, then that author comes here and contributes on the same subject, that does not count as original research even though it is the original article. Conversely, if Joe Schmo writes a crack-pot theory that generates no stir beyond just a few Google hits with it, then Jeff Blow comes here and adds it to Wikipedia, it is still original research even though it is not added by the original author. Johntex\talk 21:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment Existing topics such as 'false document' are insufficient assesments of the subjects referred to as 'imaginary antecedents.' There may be some crossover in the subject matter, but this topic is more of a disambiguation than a form of research. oneismany 10:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Have you looked at the actual Google results, though? They have little to do with the topic of the article. I don't question that the phrase is valid English, but the very precise definition in the article has (I believe) been invented by the creator of the article. —HorsePunchKid→龜 18:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment Huh. I had no idea that first-order logic was considered 'research.' All this time I thought I've just been doing math, I could have been publishing it! Let me ask, would hand-drawing a new sketch of a familiar concept be considered 'original research' too? oneismany 10:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps I have misused the WP:NOR policy. In my limited time here, it has become fairly clear that this encompasses topics beyond research: neologisms and attempts to coin phrases, for example. What you have done is taken two words that could be combined to mean any number of things and given them a very specific literary definition. This is simply not appropriate for an encyclopedia.
Here's a thought experiment. Little Johnny Schoolboy writes a book report on one of these books you cite, like LotR. In this, he refers to the Red Book as an "imaginary antecedent" without further explanation, assuming that his very knowledgeable teacher will understand the term. The teacher grabs her red marker and circles the term, putting a few big question marks next to it, because—while she certainly knows both words—she has never seen them used this way. Johnny gets his paper back and complains, saying he read it in an encyclopedia, and all the teacher can say is, "I'm glad you put so much effort into your paper, but nobody uses this term. Nobody will understand it when you use it unless you explain it further, so why use it?"
It seems to me that you're trying to invent a new phrase, like dangling participle, and this is not the place to coin a term. —HorsePunchKid→龜 19:53, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment Okay, I see your point about that and I don't think this specific phrase needs to be the title of this entry. There is no 'imaginary x' topic however, and the subject matter discussed in this entry is not specific to that phrase. The entry is in the process of being broadened to incorporate more perspectives and cross-references. Sorry for the neologism; this entry is under construction, so please be patient and don't delete it while it is in progress. Of course any assistance in grounding the subject in existing terminology would be appreciated.

If frogs, for example, were listed separately as fish and as reptiles, would it be 'original research' to list them as amphibians? If the characteristics of frogs are well known, i.e. that they are born in water but live in water and on land, is it research to point out a class of similar animals that are already well known? oneismany 12:07, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
If 'imaginary' antecedents (or referents) are original research, then why not 'nonexistent' antecedents (or referents)? Where is the third-party verification that disqualifies 'nonexistence' as original research? Both the usage of 'imaginary' and 'nonexistent' are standard usage. If one is excluded from the encyclopedia, is it not POV to include the other? oneismany 12:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete - Interesting for head-spinning, but not a real topic. I am not even sure the author understands this uninteresting application of incompleteness theory. As for the google hits, those are not addressing this idea of 'false document' which is already addressed on Wikipedia. Obvious delete. Cyferx

  • Keep - Not OR (rather, perhaps, "original perspective"). The term might be neologistic, but the idea obviously isn't. (It is clearly a superset which encompasses false documents, not a synonym.) If there is no equivalent terminology to describe this important phenomemon, deleting it simply diminishes the encyclopaedic nature of wikipedia. — JEREMY 08:49, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

At the very least, merge a few lines into Questionable Content Tony Bruguier 14:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete. I still think it's non notable and that most web comics authors are not that well known. Per est, I think that the category might be need deletion too, as there's clearly a difference between Charles_M._Schulz and them... not that their work is of low quality, it isn't. It's not just that notable. Anyway, the cleanup makes it look like a serious article and not a personal page, thus the change to weak delete.
  • Comment. By that logic, we should delete most of the articles about the American Presidents from the 19th Century, since the majority of them aren't notable, compared to Bush, Clinton, Reagan and JFK. Then we should just go and delete all the articles about British PMs, since only a few of them are notable. Of course these Webcomic authors aren't as famous as Schulz, but name three non-webcomic authors who are?

  • Delete As the creator of this page on a group that I have acquainted myself with, I seriously doubt Jhazingha-Khaliph would care. As far as some sock puppet rage, it isn't even worried about. But before closing, J-K is a group that continues to grow, and I've heard nothing on this earth that sounds like their music. Not only that but they work regular jobs just like everybody else and the members aren't looking for acceptance in such a warped industry. That's why I categorized them outsider artists. But Jhazingha-Khaliph will tell you they don't care one way or the other because they never worried about impressing anybody. So I guess even Jhazingha-Khaliph says "DELETE." Marvin Glass

[edit] Jon Bithrey

broadcaster at local station; not notable Brandon39 03:50, 27 October 2005 (UTC)


don't delete this, for 3 reasons:

1) bithrey is a well known celebrity in jersey. this is not merely a 'local' station - jersey has its own government, bank notes and therefore is entitled to consider itself a little more than just a locality

2) bithrey has connections with internationally well known celebrities such as chris moyles

3) surely all this discussion about jon bithrey suggests that he IS notable enough for inclusion.

in addition, as far as i know this entry is not the work of bithrey, therefore it is not 'vanity'

I wrote this article and realise it needed rewriting so I did so. Am now slightly surprised that there is still such a push to delete it from some quarters. I read the guidelines on "speedy deletion" and it is clear to me it should never have been marked for speedy deletion in the first place.

  • In hindsight, my comment does seem to be a logical fallacy. The fact that there is a category for something doesn't necessarily mean that it should have an article. Otherwise, everything on AfD could be assigned to a category and kept. Please, allow me to explain my vote now logically: I think we should keep the article because British radio hosts are apparently considered notable people since more than 175 of them already have Wikipedia articles. --TantalumTelluride 19:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep I do not live in Jersey but do live in the United Kingdom. I personally don't listen to Jon Bithrey as I do not receive BBC Radio Jersey. However, having read the entry about him I think that he is clearly notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Surely anyone who lived on Jersey or wanted to know more about the island would find their visit to this site enriched by being able to look at local radio stations on the island and then be able to be linked directly to one of the key personalities who reports news on the most important local radio station? Is this kind of things not exactly what Wikipedia is about, or am I missing the point? I just don't understand the requests that this be removed. --82.35.78.232 11:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Julio Mario Santodomingo

Incorrect Name, information out of date Another Wikipedian 23:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

There are contradictory sources, but the actual name of this person seems to be Julio Mario Santo Domingo. References: Several main Colombian journals use "Julio Mario Santo Domingo" [13], [14] and there's a Mario Santo Domingo foundation [15] (clearly in his honor).

Besides, the "Julio Mario Santodomingo" article contains information out of date, doubtful or irrelevant.

Doubtful: Santo Domingo was born in Barranquilla. (This serious reference [16] says, according to my translation, that Santo Domingo "was born in Panamá, but originated in Barranquilla", info which I included in Julio Mario Santo Domingo).

Out of date: Santo Domingo owns Bavaria. (Bavaria was fusioned with (absorbed by) SABMiller). See [17].

Out of date: Santo Domingo owns Avianca (Germán Efromovich is the new main stock holder of Avianca [18].)

Possibly out of date: Santo Domingo lives in Paris, (apparently he spends most of his time in New York now, but I would have to double check this. See for instance: [19] (2004) or [20] (2004)).

Irrelevant: Carrefour bought his house. (While Carrefour bought Santo Domingo's family's house in Barranquilla, [21], the anecdote is irrelevant, and I couldn't verify it).

One of a number of very messy articles written about members of The Kottonmouth Kings and other artists on Suburban Noize Records. I'm cleaning up some of them where possible.

[edit] List of high value detainees

In anticipation of the User:Geo Swan's usual and customary attacks on me, let me point out my good faith my edit tonight of his other new article, Joshua Colangelo-Bryan. Please compare the before and after before you misjudge me. Joaquin Murietta 00:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • No overlap -- Civilian intelligence officials have retained the couple of dozen detainees who have the most intelligence value. They are not held at Guantanamo Bay. So there is no overlap between the List of Guantanamo Bay detainees, and a list of those with an intelligence value so great they are not held by the military, are not held in Guantanamo Bay.
  • Dick Cheney made the distinction. On October 20, 2005, VPOTUS Dick Cheney tried to get John McCain to change his proposal to restrict American interrogators to only those interrogation techniques authorized the official Army interrogation manual. Cheney wanted McCain's proposal to only apply to those detainees in military custody, and not to the smaller group of detainees with real intelligence value, who were in the custody of civilian intelligence agencies. I contend that circumstances of arrest, detention, interrogations of the detainees in civilian custody, and the allegations against them, merits inclusion in the wikipedia. And I contend that an article devoted to those held in Guantanamo Bay is an innapropriate place for that inclusion. None of these guys is held in Guantanamo Bay. I wasn't completely happy with the name I picked when I started this article. And the confusion expressed suggests the article should have a different name. But it certainly merits inclusion. -- Geo Swan 17:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Undecided for now my main problem with this article is the question "what makes a detainee high value?" I agree that List of Guantanamo Bay detainees better covers the topic I think most people would be looking for. -- Malo 06:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • As above. The List of Guantanamo Bay detainees -- all of whom are in military custody -- does not cover detainees who are not held in Guantanamo Bay, and who are held by civilian intelligence agencies.
  • As above, the wikipedia needs this article, but it needs a different title.
  • Rumsfeld, and other senior officials, have claimed that the interrogations at Guantanamo Bay have produced "invaluable intelligence". There is a long tradition in war-fighting to use disinformation. I think it was Winston Churchill who said that, in wartime, "the truth must be guarded by a bodyguard of lies". I think accepting the "invaluable intelligence", and "worst of the worst" claims, at face value, is POV. I think balanced, neutral coverage of the detainee issues requires having articles also present verifiable information that allows readers to test the Bush administrations claims. If the Guantanamo Bay facility really included the worst of the worst it would contain Abu Zubaydah, al-Libi, and Khaled Sheikh Mohammed.
  • The USA has, in custody, some guys who are believed to be senior members of al Qaeda, guys who had foreknowledge of, or helped plan, the attacks of 9-11. And the USA has, in custody, some guys who are believed to have been the directors of terrorist training camps. These are the guys who are really "the worst of the worst", the ones with real "intelligence value". US civilian intelligence agencies have held on to them. They are not held in Guantanamo Bay. And the Bush administration is fighting very strongly to continue to hold them in secret interrogatin centres and to continue to interrogate them using more extreme interrogation techniques. -- Geo Swan 17:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - In response to the comments you left on my talk page, Geo Swan: My other problem with this article is how inherently American the POV is. Even if you removed the subjective term high value, a List of detainees, does not mean only those detainees held by the US, as this article implies. And honestly, I don't think that is the kind of article you are trying to create here. All articles should try very hard to attain a neutral point of view (NPOV). Not only does the title of this article fail to do so, it fails to do so on two accounts. The rest of this article follows the suit of the title and maintains a very non neutral point of view. -- Malo 19:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It was a poor choice of title. My mistake. How would you feel about Terror suspects held by US inteligence agencies or detainees held by US intelligence agencies in the "global war on terror". It would be more convenient to use something like Terror suspects held by the CIA. But we don't know that they are held by the CIA. Afghanistan is one of the world's most prolific opium growing areas. So the DEA may be working there. There is a slim possibility that the CIA delegated the detention of some suspects to the DEA or other more junior agencies.
  • I can't tell if you think that the article, as it stands, is too sympathetic to the detainees, or too sympathetic to the stands taken by the Bush administration. Would you care to clarify that for me?
  • Do you have any concrete suggestions, beyond a change of title, as to what the article needs to seem NPOV to you? I made some changes to take your comments into account. In particular I changed many of the uses of the term "high value detainees" to "suspects held by US Civilian Intelligence agencies".
  • You made a guess at the "kind of article am I trying to create here". Well, you don't have to guess. I will tell you. I believe that a NPOV requires more than merely echoing the positions of the Bush administration. I believe that the presentation of pertinent, verifiable information, that does not use inflammatory language, is not POV. Did I use noninflammatory language? I thought so. But if you disagree, I'd appreciate you pointing me to specific passages where my efforts fell short.
  • A limited number of wikipedia contributors seem to have the view that merely trying to write about certain topics is biased, and POV. I disagree. Some topics may be harder to address in an NPOV way. But I am willing to make the effort. And I am going to count on others who can assume good will, to help me out with that.
  • Thanks for your reply. -- Geo Swan 21:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure I can provide a better title for this article, I've been racking my brain about it. And I think that you are correct about NPOV and how other users deem them to be POV based upon the topic. (myself potentially included). So I applaude you for attempting to do something that I wouldn't personally feel comfortable with. One problem I have with this is in the first line United States intelligence agencies are widely believed to maintain covert interrogation centres Widely believed is not really verified. It's mighty close, and in all likelihood it's true, however proving it becomes difficult when a government that likes to keep its secrets is involved. Hence the rest of this article is built upon a widely believed statement (or not so much for conspiracy theorists). And I suppose there are other articles that do this, even more from further back in history, however this is a developing topic and real information isn't exactly plentiful and verifible just yet. I suggest you mention somewhere in here the term Unlawful combatant and how it relates to the Geneva Convention, and the status of these detainees. Perhaps this article could be shortened and added as section upon another article such as War on Terrorism. Or perhaps it needs to be expanded. I think the problem you face still is that most people see this as a work created by someone who has strong or bias views one way or the other. And that consequently this article is being used to push someone's agenda of either absolute truth or half-truths. Which comes back to why I don't feel comfortable on these sort of things. However I am willing to change my vote, I just haven't decided fully what is best for this article. -- Malo 22:27, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • As above, the detainees who are not in military custody, are not detained in Cuba, who were retained by civilian intelligence agencies, because they were senior al Qaeda who had real knowledge of participation in the planning of the attacks on 9-11 merit separate coverage from the detainees who are in military custody. The possibility exists that the interrogation techniques used on those in the List of Guantanamo Bay detainees will be scaled back to just those authorized in the Army's field manual on interrogation, while those in civilian custody remain interrogated by more extreme techniques, like "waterboarding" and mock executions. That alone, IMO, merits a separate article. -- Geo Swan 17:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • keep, but rename. Disclaimer, I started this article.
  • As above, in addition to the detainees with little intelligence value held in Afghanistan and Guantanamo US Civilian intelligence officials maintain small, covert, interrogation centres where they have been holding and interrogating the most senior al Qaeda captives, those who may have helped plan the 9-11 attacks.
  • The article needs to be renamed. The original name is confusing. I am not sure what name might be better. How about List of al Qaeda captives in CIA custody?
  • Both US officials, and media correspondents have used the term "high value detainee". But, since I started the article, with that name, I realized that US officials did not restrict that term to the most senior al Qaeda, they also used it for the most senior members of Saddam's regime. All of the other 51 people on those famous playing cards are "high value detainees". My mistake. The article definitely needs a better name. -- Geo Swan 17:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep since government officials and the media have made a distinction between these prisoners and apparently "low-value" or "worthless" prisoners. This article is no more inherently POV than is the Axis of Evil article, which designates Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as more evil than other countries. The article could be moved to a more NPOV name, though, leaving List of high value detainees as a redirect. In either case, I think high-value should be hyphenated. --TantalumTelluride 21:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Surely, before applying the extreme measure of deletion, you, or someone who agrees with you, should have made a sincere, good faith effort to try discussion, renaming, merging or simple editing. I have been doing my share, good faith edits to address those who have concerns. Yes, we are discussing the article, now. But no one tried discussion before filing an {afd}. That does not conform the to deletion procedures. I contend that what the passage I quoted from the policy means is that an {afd} is the last resort to be tried, once good faith attempts at discussion, etc., failed. -- Geo Swan 21:16, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment re Definitions of High Value Detainee The argument is that the U.S. govt particularly mistreats those detainees that it defines as high value. The problem with the list is that the U.S govt has never disclosed the names. A U Mich site defines the phrase -- High Value Detainee A detainee who, due to his or her senior position in the military, security, scientific/technical, or government structures of Saddam Husayn's [sic] Regime, may have knowledge or insights of relevance to ISG's mission. [www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/pdf/duelfer3_e.pdf 1]. If this is the correct definition, then many of the names on the list are incorrect. However, we have no way of confirming this until the US Govt releases the names. Eventually that will happen, but at this stage, any list we put up would be based on speculation. An OpEd piece could properly speculate on the identities, but is it encyclopedic? Joaquin Murietta 07:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I made a poor choice of names when I started the article. I already said this, several times. The article needs to be renamed. My current favourite alternative name is Terror suspects in CIA custody.
  • The US government has admitted using extended interrogation techniques on the detainees in CIA custody, including "waterboarding" -- an interrogation technique where you immerse a detainee in water, to the point they think they are about to drown -- and mock executions. Most people would regard this as mistreatment.
  • In answer to your question: As I understand wiki policy, the authors of wikipedia articles are not supposed to include their own speculation in the contributions they make. But quoting articles, and op-eds, that speculate, is completely legit, as long as they are properly cited, so the reader can tell the cited material is a speculation.
  • As to whether the US government has acknowledged the detention of any of the senior al Qaeda that are in the custody of Intelligence angencies, not the military. You asserted that the US government has not. You are simply mistaken there.
  • Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi is said to have been the first senior al Qaeda operative to have been captured. He is said to have been the first senior al Qaeda to have been the subject of more extreme interrogation techniques. Under interrogation he made admissions that were regarded as extremely important. The news from his interrogation were regarded as so important that a cabinet level decision was made to sacrifice the keeping his information under wraps. Al-Libi was mentioned, by name, in the famous speech Powell gave to the UN, where he cited evidence that bolstered the case that there was a tie between al Qaeda and Saddam's regime, and that Saddam did have a dangerous arsenal of WMD.
After the invasion, and after the American failure to find any WMD al-Libi was re-interviewed about the WMD. He acknowledged that the admissions he made were untrue.
That was a clear failure on someone's part. Whether al-Libi was clever enough, and determined enough, to outsmart his interrogators, and knowingly feed them poisoned information, or whether incompetent interrogators unconsciously lead al-Libi to confirm their preconceptions is not at issue here.
What is at issue is whether US government officials have openly acknowledged holding some of the detainees who were initially held in covert detention centres. The answer is a clear and unequivocal "yes" in al-Libi's case, and in the case of several others on the list, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi bin al-Shibh.
  • You seem to be implying here, and elsewhere, that the wikipedia cannot report any speculation on facts or arguments that could be interpreted as reflecting poorly on US policies. You have consistently called that kind of material POV, or "obviously POV". That is far to high a standard. The standard you suggest here, that the wikipedia cannot report on the status of these detainees until you recognize that an official US government source has acknowledged the the nature and location of their detention and interrogation is too high. There are secrets, from World War 2, that remain classified over sixty years later. But no one would argue that the wikipedia shouldn't report speculation about those secrets. I am old enough to remember a time before the British wartime decryption efforts had lead to the worlds first digital computers. If the wikipedia had been around then, surely you would agree that reporting the knowledgeable speculation of experts, and former insiders, was completely legitimate?
  • I am old enough to remember the unfolding of the US Watergate scandal, during the Nixon Presidency. By the standard you seem to be suggesting, the wikipedia would not have been able to report on Woodward and Bernstein stories -- because they were reporting material that relected poorly on a sitting President that had not been confirmed by an official US government official. By this standard you would have restricted the wikipedia from reporting on expert's speculation as to the identity of the source Woodward and Bernstein identified as "deep throat". No, the wikipedia is not the place for crusading investigative journalists. But reporting on the speculation of investigative journalists, in a balanced way, is completely within what the wikipedia is.
  • I know you know, as other people have pointed it out to you, in some of the previous {afd}s you recently initiated on articles I started, that the wikipolicy on deleting articles clearly says a perceived POV problem is not grounds for deletion.
  • Do you remember the course of the US invasion of Iraq. Progress was relatively quick. It took about a month from when the first elements crossed the border, to the final occupation of the government complex in downtown Baghdad. During that month the Iraqi Minister of Information kept giving these ridiculous press conferences, where he reported that the Iraqi forces were winning, were on the brink of chewing up the invaders, and expelling them. He was a laughing stock. Saddam restricted him from reporting or confirming anything that reflected poorly on Saddam's regime. If you succeeded, and were able to suppress reports all facts or expert's speculation, that could be interpreted as reflecting poorly on the USA, from inclusion in the wikipedia, you would turn it into the same kind of laughing stock as Saddam's Ministry of Information.
  • The proper role of the wikipedia is not to serve as a US hagiography. The wikipedia is not a US project. It is an international project. Even if I were an American I would argue against the suppression of verifiable information just because it could be seen as reflecting poorly on US policies. -- Geo Swan 14:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Retain It would be hypocritical to delete this page when other major members of other online communities such as Leeroy Jenkins of World of Warcraft have entries to their names. I dislike the notion of commericiality as a tiebreaker for encyclopaedic worthiness(if a printed novel had less readers than this, how would that fare?), especially on a donation-based site such as this. Disagree with comment about reviews; It does not attempt to link reviews with popularity, but the reviews have elevated it within a very large online community. The article is not written by the authors of the fiction. Moreover, it is a humorous novel based on the authors above all else, and is no more a Mary Sue(i.e. Hollow characters) than a Marx Brothers film. Finally, criticising the literature as a Mary Sue does not affect the legitimacy of the article ~Inkstersco 10:37 Oct 27
  • Comment But where does one draw the line? Obscurity? Look at the scope of the articles on various Resident Evil characters, for example. It's not a vanity page, for the author of the story is not that of the page. Accuracy? I'm sure it bears some investigation. Otherwise, do we set the ball of deletion rolling on, say, late night 1950s Belgian TV adverts? ~Inkstersco

[edit] NedFest

This is a local festival of limited scope. As such, I see problems with verifiability and question if the page is advertising. Also, there is the issue of notability, for those who vote on that basis. Nothing personal against the festival, of course. Delete Xoloz 04:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. This festival appears to have been held a number of times between 1996 and today, featuring numerous artists who themselves are sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles. I certainly can't see any problem with verifiability - I tried Googling for Nedfest "Victor Wooten" (the first artist mentioned in the article) and found multiple references to him performing there in 2003, including photographic evidence.

  • Neither of those pages are Wikipedia guidelines, they're merely proposals.
  • Keep - the article can definitely use a clean-up, but once done so, it can become a good article. Non-notability isn't part of Wikipedia's guidelines, so IMO a comic shouldn't be deleted merely for these reasons. The fact the strip exists is verifiable, while some of the assertions in the article may not be verifiable, the strip does exist.--John Lynch 03:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep people should read the article first as it stands now before voting :) ; this isn't about pencil boxes, the stationary item, but a children's TV show. I don't see why this should be considered a definition. Definitely a stub but it should be kept and expanded. Sorry, made my comment before I realized that the entry has been substantially changed today. We're now essentially voting on a different article; future voters (and admins), please take note of this. Janet13 14:23, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • OK, on this brand-new article, completely unrelated to the one I suggested for deletion, I vote keep. But it should surely be re-titled Pencil Box (TV show) or some such. Flapdragon 14:50, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • No need for extra qualifiers. We already have capitalization to deal with that. Both pencil box and Pencil Box are interlinked so people who can't use properly capitalization can still find what they're looking for. Titles should be as easy as possible. - Mgm|(talk) 20:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
      • I agree titles should be as easy as possible, but think you're being a bit subtle here. In an encyclopaedia where "Innosense" is accepted as a misspelling so frequent that needs to be a redirect to Innocence, as it was the other day, it's a bit unrealistic to expect people to be so scrupulous about their capitalisation. Most of the time such searches are not case-sensitive, and Wikipedia's fussiness in that department still catches me out sometimes. After all why should the first initial letter of a term like Pencil box be capitalised, and if so why not the second too? Flapdragon 23:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep rewrite. TheMadBaron 17:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as re-written (children's show) ERcheck 22:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Something has gone adrift here. We now seem to be discussing whether to delete an article (about a TV programme) that was never suggested for deletion, while the one that was suggested for deletion (about the thing you keep pencils in) has in effect been quietly speedy-kept as a redirect to Pencil case, itself just as much a classic dicdef as Pencil box was before it was rewritten on a different subject. Incidentally "pencil box" is not the same as "pencil case", since the latter is often (usually?) made of a soft material, which the former cannot be. Let's call the whole thing off! Flapdragon 23:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • There has been no speedy keeping. Neither pencil case nor pencil box were nominated for deletion here in the first place (although the former was nominated and kept back in May). All that has happened is that Pencil Box has been rewritten to actually be about what the incoming hyperlinks implied that it was intended to be about, thanks to Cryptic pointing it out above. Uncle G 23:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the rewritten article on the Canadian children's TV show with a disambiguation link directing people looking for information on pencil boxes to pencil case. Capitalistroadster 23:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • I disagree. Even if that were true, the company could only be said to have met one of those criteria - "The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple published works". If it were the subject of those two minor Wall Street Journal articles, I would say that Pop-a-Lock had met the letter, but not the spirit, of the WP:CORP criteria - which are only intended as "rough guidelines". However, Pop-A-Lock isn't really the subject of those articles at all. The articles are both about franchises generally; Pop-a-Lock just happens to be prominently mentioned. This article has in no way established sufficient notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. Delete. TheMadBaron 16:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I am uncertain on the notability of the company, though. Neutral --TantalumTelluride 22:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. What criteria for deletion does this satisfy? It's verifiable. Independent and reputable references are cited. It's not an advert - in fact, it's a textbook example of NPOV, reporting facts without making value judgements, sourcing all claims, and identifying the one case where the source has a conflict of interest. It's bitty and needs cleaning up, but that is not a criterion for deletion. The company is not of world-shattering notability, but does satisfy the guidelines, and WP:NOT paper.

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Club Red. — JIP | Talk 11:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RED, a nightclub

This is an article about a former nightclub in Washington, D.C. There are, however, already two other articles about the same club, one at Club Red and one at Red, a nightclub. I think three articles on one club is a bit exsessive. This article does not seem to have any information that the others do not, so I don't think any merge is neccessary. Red, a nightclub is basically just a DJ list though, and should probably be merged into Club Red, which currently reads like POV-laden clubcruft. orioneight (talk) 00:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect, this does not need an AFD nomination. I have added merge tags to the other two articles and will merge them when I get a chance, if someone else doesn't do it first. --Stormie 01:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Yes, Welcome to Wikipedia. TT is correct of course about people looking for the color Red, but in a larger sense it is absolutley possible for multiple names to go to one place. That is what a Redirect does. See United States and United States of America.

  • Keep. This is not a hoax but a good schools article. The grounds for deletion is that Ann Bancroft is listed as an alumni who went to Antartica. Our article on Ann Bancroft states that she did as does this page [33]. The actress was Anne Bancroft.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. The current way just won't do, though, because the article Scott Peterson needs to be something other than a redirect. So I propose one of two solutions:

  1. Move Scott Peterson (convicted murderer) to Scott Peterson, or
  2. Move Scott Peterson (disambiguation) to Scott Peterson. — JIP | Talk 11:17, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scott Peterson (disambiguation)

After editing the page and realizing one of the Scott Petersons listed did not have the last name Peterson, I've come to the conclusion that this page isn't necessary. At this point, the only Scott Peterson listed other than the convict is a staff writer for the Christian Science Monitor, who does not have a Wiki page. This man isn't exactly a well-known journalist...I did a quick search for random staff writers for the New York Times (which has many more readers than the Monitor) and came up empty handed.

I'm sure very few people look up Scott Peterson in hopes of reading about the journalist; and even if they do, he doesn't have a page. I believe this page was created just so people could add the "(convicted murderer)" tag on the Scott Peterson page. Either way, I don't think this is needed. --Marco Passarani 22:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Fixed listing at this time. Abstain Xoloz 05:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
See below for important new developments. Xoloz 18:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to Scott Peterson (convicted murderer). No need for a disambiguation page until another Scott Peterson comes along. Bjelleklang - talk 10:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this disambiguation page and move the Scott Peterson (convicted murderer) article to Scott Peterson. -- Kjkolb 11:50, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom (and please move Scott Peterson (convicted murderer) to Scott Peterson. The "convicted murderer" part is not necessary, because there is only one Scott Peterson on Wikipedia. It's clear enough from the article that he's a convicted murderer, there's no need to mention that in the title as well.). Aecis 11:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, move Scott Peterson (convicted murderer) to Scott Peterson, and then redirect the disambig to that. --Jacqui ★ 14:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and move as per above. MCB 01:28, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • This is a perfectly normal disambiguation between two encyclopaedia articles with the same title. Whether the disambiguation is a primary-topic disambiguation or an equal-weight disambiguation is a simple matter of whether Scott Peterson redirects to this article, to Scott Peterson (convicted murderer), or to Scott Peterson (writer). There is no need to delete anything or to rename anything in order to settle that, and the place for discussing any disagreement over the type of disambiguation is Talk:Scott Peterson. Keep. Uncle G 14:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: until you created the article, there was no need for disambiguation as only one article existed. -- Kjkolb 03:18, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Well, now that Uncle G has made an article for the writer (and the writer seems notable), the page needs to be kept. Suggest to closer that other deletion votes be voided after significant change. I agree with Kjkolb that Uncle G's tone was odd, since only his actions redeemed the page, and voters before that change deserved no reprimand. Xoloz 18:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: since most people are probably looking for the murderer, I would put the disambiguation at the top of his page, though. -- Kjkolb 19:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • keep -- two guys with the same name -- obvious need for a disambiguation page. -- Geo Swan 23:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Taine Ruaridh Mhor

Apparently an advert for someone's book. The spelling is wrong, the history is weird (seems to talk about medieval Scots going to NEW ZEALAND!), and it's most of the way to nonsense. MacRusgail 19:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

    • The correct link is [36] (what appears to be a self-publishing dealie), which appears to be a tamer version of [37] (the same site as the original link). Looking at other stuff on these websites ([38] [39]) and we see the author's agenda. It's not just a piece of fanciful pseudo history, but part of white-supremacist propaganda effort; some NZ nazi group spent some effort a few months ago trying to get their drivel into wikipedia, and turned nasty when they failed. I expect this is a piece of their material that slipped under our radar. -- Middenface 03:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

          • I'd guess that this is the case simply because it hasn't been agreed to apply to bands, just people; it was specifically designed to make it easier to get rid of the numerous vanity bios that pop up every day -- there are much more of those than articles for non-notable bands.

[edit] The Goldfish Network

An article about an individual server that "services as many as thirty-five paying and non paying customers." NN. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 00:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. A whole 35 people, huh? Goodness, Wikipedia had better watch its back. Especially when it gets so much traffic as to have no Alexa rank at all. One computer just isn't encyclopedic and WP:ISNOT an indiscrimate collection of information. - Splashtalk 00:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep A site with no Alexa ranking means absolutely nothing. While there's question as to the value of the content here, I'd hate to think you would delete this article because of lack of Alexa rank. Alexa gathers information from people who have the Alexa toolbar installed. This toolbar only does two things: Provide data to Alexa, and perform second-rate searches. It's an information gathering software, which gets similar programs to be labelled as spyware. I would take it as a credit if no one who visited a site I owned was foolish enough to have that thing installed. Just my two cents. - 70.31.155.217 02:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Whether or not the Alexa toolbar is spyware is irrelevant. What does matter is that is a random sample of users and thus can be used as a basis for statistical analysis. It is also not the only criterion used when we consider articles about web sites (see WP:WEB). Unfortunately your server is not notable outside of the people who use it. Not only that, it's not third-party verifiable, which is Wikipedia policy. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 16:23, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Undecided You know that they’re probably right and it shouldn’t be there, violation or not. Wikipedia is not a repository of all human knowledge, just of things that concern a large number of people. However, articles like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_comics are allowed to exist, which seems to me very similar to the Goldfish article (if only more extensive). Is it just because this site has a larger readership that they should be allowed inclusion? If I made a wiki page for MY comics, would that be allowed to stay? How many readers/users is the right amount? Or what about this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podtacular ? They claim a mere 1500 listeners. Wikipedia better watch out. (By the way, their "Alexa ranking" can not be determined, because their main website is a sub-domain of blogspot). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.25.30.246 (talk • contribs) 13:35, 27 October 2005 (UTC).

  • Delete. As the owner of The GoldFish Network, I can tell you all that this page was clearly created as a joke by someone who uses my server. It's gotten way out of hand. As per guidelines, there's no reason for this to be on Wikipedia. You're right, it's not a web directory, and the network isn't that much different from other hosting services. However, I agree with those that are against Alexa being a guideline. If most major anti-spyware vendors will remove Alexa upon detection, I would tend to think this makes the results produced by Alexa a little biased. Biased towards those who aren't tech-savvy enough to know what it is to start with, and not even smart enough to run some kind of anti-spyware check. Regardless, delete this. If y'all feel so strongly that it's not "encyclopedic enough", then get rid of it. - Arobar 03:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Top Dolla

  • Delete. Vainest of the vanity pages. Personal quotes? Come on. Did find this [41] which has a "Top Dolla" singing on it, but I can't tell if it's the same guy. If it were, I'd think he'd mention the recording in his article. No Google returns for "'Dan Lockern' 'Top Dolla'" Devotchka 17:25, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I've heard of him. He performs all the time in various areas of New Jersey. He's pretty undergroumd...

  • Delete Some verifiability problems under WP:V see Devotchka above although a Google search for "Top Dolla" comes up with 1,700 hits see [42] although none of them appear to establish notability.

[edit] Truth in Labeling

This article was put up for speedy by User:Rd232 since it was created by banned user User:Andrew Lin. I felt that it would be better to get consensus to delete this since it's not clearly anything (maybe advertising). And, as the CSD page says, "This is slightly controversial!" gren グレン 09:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually it was User:Kiand who tagged it speedy delete (without an edit summary - naughty) and I fixed the external link and wondered in the edit summary whether it was worth keeping. Thanks for AfDing, Grenavitar - I was going to do this myself if it had stayed unspeedied a bit longer. Rd232 talk 09:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Just to note Andrew Lin did create many pages claiming that, well, things would kill you if you ate them... which puts the legitimacy and notability of this magazine into question which is the reason for the AfD itself, besides just a banned creator. gren グレン 09:19, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Delete. It seems to have some notability; "Truth in Labeling Campaign" gets 17 hits in LexisNexis; the most recent being San Francisco Chronicle, 14 April 1999. They also had a court case on MSG labelling (Truth in Labeling Campaign, et al. v. Donna Shalala, et al. 1995; lost in summary judgement) which was mentioned by the Irish Times 1999. Rd232 talk 09:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    If kept it should possibly be moved to Truth in Labeling Campaign. Rd232 talk 09:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, if he's allowed to contribute, he's not really banned. Otherwise, it would be, "You're banned, unless you do something good." Someone can recreate the article later, if they want. -- Kjkolb 09:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I can see grounds for that policy to avoid this situation, but that doesn't seem to be current policy, does it? I don't know, there just seems something fundamentally unwiki about judging content purely by who created it. If the creator can/should be blocked for whatever transgressions that for me feels like a separate issue. Rd232 talk 13:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
      • If I understand correctly, this was created after he was banned. I don't know what the policy is, but what is the purpose of banning if he is still allowed to edit after he is banned? Everyone's articles are cleaned up or deleted on their merits, so it wouldn't be any different than if he were unbanned. -- Kjkolb 15:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete due to its creator. It should have been speedied, he is -not allowed edit-. --Kiand 13:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable and promotional. Google shows only 96 links to this site. It is a non-notable site and I believe the reason for creating it was to promote a point of view. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per above. - Just zis Guy, you know? 18:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as nn, but if this is kept it should be moved to Truth in Labeling Campaign, since there are enough other things (i.e. legislation) to ceate a "Truth in Labeling" disambig page. MCB 01:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tyek

Fiction? Something from a video game? Absolutely no context or background and none of the names or dates gets even a single relevant Google hit. Delete as unencyclopedic nonsense. MCB 01:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless someone can figure out what this is. Maybe a profile for an RPG character or something?? Devotchka 05:26, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete; this appears to be something to do with World of Warcraft, which is some MMORPG. Google "tyek eristeth" gets nothing, "tyek atma" gets nothing meaningful, only "tyek paladin" gave anything of any note. Seems to be non-verifiable, and hard to determine if notable. I vote delete unless someone can convince me otherwise. Fourohfour 12:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Since the article makes no mention of any RPG, video game, or other fiction, I'm bound to take it at face value. It's apparently a biography of a notable historical figure. Delete as hoax. TheMadBaron 17:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Woobie

A woobie is a blanket. The term is most frequently used to refer to a child's blanket as a transference object. (See Help for Infants and Toddlers with Attachment Disorder for more details.) The term woobie was possibly first coined in the 1983 film "Mr. Mom" starring Michael Keaton and Teri Garr. It is often used by Generation X, post-baby boomers, as a playful term for a comfortable blanket.

References:

 * DTWW
 * A "Comercially" Accepted Term

[Trying to get Kenny to give up his security blanket]

Jack Butler: "I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads Ken. That's serious." - Memorable Quote from Mr. Mom

It appears to say that they can close near-unaminous AfD discussions apart from "delete" as well, and I can count 5 redirects + 2 votes for reverting to the redirect, and one asking for a redirect (8) against 1 for delete, so it appears to be a supermajority for redirection. I'll close the discussion, but I'll accept admin intervention (It's the first time for me with AfD) Sceptre 11:10, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
