[edit] The Jaded

See the webcomic here and their one man band forum here. Webcomics reach their end user purely through the means of the internet, so Alexa ranking is a good way of finding out how popular one is. When you have a ranking of over 2 million, this is clearly not good. This is a none notable webcomic with a tiny readership, and with 2 million more popular sites out there, it's time to remove this from wikipedia. - Hahnchen 00:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Question. The rank only hints at the lowness of the readership. How big is the readership, actually? Moreover, does size of participation or readership necessarily determine notability? — Rickyrab | Talk 00:21, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- On the other hand, maybe delete, on notability grounds. — Rickyrab | Talk 00:32, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - That could be a point. But try looking on Google for the jaded and webcomic. It has not received any outside press, it hasn't even won any community awards I think, which almost every webcomic wins some. It's true, there are notable films, books etc, which may have been notable but not well read/seen. I do not think however, that this case holds true for this webcomic. - Hahnchen 00:33, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Alexa is in general a horrible way of determining popularity or notability, since it is not based on visitors, but on visitors who chose to install a specific piece of spyware. Also note that "The Jaded" is mostly read through Graphic Smash, so Alexa would treat such visits as results for graphicsmash.com, not for thejaded.co.uk, further biasing the Alexa results. Even aside from all that, this article is verifiable, encyclopedic, and useful. There are absolutely no disadvantages to keeping it in Wikipedia, so it should not be deleted. Factitious 01:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- I understand that Alexa rankings can sometimes be a red herring. However, doing a Google search found nothing to distinguish this from any other website. Apart from the Google search mentioned above, I was also drawn to nominate this due to the sparcity of the forums. I know not everyone joins the forums, but surely a proportion of the readership will join up. I did not know about GraphicSmash, that is true, and whereas you have mentioned the nature of Alexa, I do have to point out that Alexa ranks GraphicSmash at over 700k. - Hahnchen 01:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
  - Alexa's ranking of Graphic Smash is also unreliable, of course. But even if we had good reasons for thinking the comic had a low readership, I still don't see any claims being made as to disadvantages of keeping this article. Are there any disadvantages? Factitious 01:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
    - The disadvantage is, that instead of wikipedia being used as an encyclopedia, it is used as a web directory, free advertising, personal space and yellow pages. Would an article on myself be a disadvantage to wikipedia? It's verifiable, and useful for potential employers or friends, I'm sure a lot more people know of me in real life then read this comic. - Hahnchen 01:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
      - It also has a low Netcraft ranking [1] -- ReyBrujo 03:34, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Graphic Smash comics (which I personally think are notable) require subscribership to GS to read the archives of, hence the relatively low readership. Nifboy 01:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- I understand that, looking at the site, but what is the difference between one unnotable website within a gated community and one unnotable website outside it? - Hahnchen 01:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete non-notable as defined by Alexa ranking. Furthermore, if this AfD deletion suceeds, remove all redlinks from the Graphics Smash page until such time as good articles (or even decent stubs) are written about the more notable comics. --Icelight 06:58, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- The Alexa rating is irrelevant in this case. The lion's share of the readers are going to be looking at it at graphicsmash.com, not its own site. It is unlike Keenspot and like Keenspace, in this way. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 09:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
  - In which case we can't really verify if it has a major following, except possibly through the forums, which do seem pretty sparse, and are an even less reliable method. --Icelight 16:01, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
    - Which would be why I suggested merging it into GraphicSmash, myself. I don't think it's notable, but Alexa numbers are irrelevant. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 16:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
      - Okay, so, failing a succesful Delete motion, I'd go for Merge and Redirect, but still remove the redlinks.

- Comment - I am not an avid webcomic reader. I nominated this purely because I thought it was none notable. May I ask why a comic on GraphicSmash is inherently notable? GraphicSmash itself doesn't seem to be that popular from its Alexa rank, so why would a specific comic on that site be? - Hahnchen 21:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. as per nom. DirectorStratton 02:51, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Attention - Some users have said that comics on Graphic Smash, like this one seem to be notable. Even though Graphic Smash itself only has an Alexa rank of over 700,000. I see a parallel here with the afd for Metroblogging. Metroblogging is a blog portal, and from there you can find blogs. Metroblogging is a lot more popular than graphic smash, with an alexa rank of sub 30,000, it was rightly kept. However, the links pointing to specific blogs were not. Following a similar idea, I feel that this article ought to be deleted, with some summary information at the main Graphic Smash article. The separate Graphic Smash comics however, should not have their own article. - Hahnchen 00:08, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
keep please wiki is not paper this article is fine Yuckfoo 21:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This is definitely not notable. I just checked the Alexa rankings of two of my favorite web cartoons (Homestar Runner and Bonus Stage), and Homestar Runner came back with a 2,572 ranking and Bonus Stage with a ranking around 644,000. This is a definite delete. --WikiFanatic^{Talk Contribs 6:42, 2 October 2005 (CDT)}

[edit] Neltark and Willie

Is wikipedia the first port of call for budding webcomic artists? Due to excessively lax inclusion guidelines at WP:COMIC, it seems to becoming so with so many unnotable webcomics on wikipedia. This one has been around 3 months and produced, what, 20 strips? Alexa shows it as a no rank. Sigh. - Hahnchen 00:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Audrey Hollander

Crystal ball, possible advertising, possible vanity, probable porncruft... Vizjim 00:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nom. NN. Does not even have a web page. Jwissick ^(t)^(c) 01:05, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep We have a lot of porn star bio articles in Wikipedia. She has a lot of page results in Google: 422,000 for "Audrey Hollander" and Yahoo!: "199,000 for "Audrey Hollander". She also appeared a lot of movies. [4] --J. Nguyen 01:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- As I said at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jordan Capri, the Google Test is skewed and meaningless for porn actresses. There's a whole subsection of the Internet pornography industry that is devoted to so skewing it (and that indeed regularly adds lists of links to WikiMedia projects as part of skewing it). Relying upon the Google Test as a gauge of notability for porn acresses is exceedingly unwise. Moreover, the number of films is not a strict indicator when it comes to actresses. (One can produce any number of unknown films.) As Wikipedia:criteria for inclusion of biographies states, the films and thus the actresses have to be known by people, as demonstrated by the existence of newspaper or magazine coverage, commercial endorsements, fan clubs, and independent biographies. Please demonstrate that this is so in this case by pointing to such things. Uncle G 02:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep - as per above. - Hahnchen 01:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete following Uncle G's comments. She does indeed seem to be a bit part tits for hire. I mean, look at the name, that's not a pornstar name is it. - Hahnchen 02:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
No newspaper or magazine coverage. No commercial endorsements. No fan clubs. No biographies at all, independent or otherwise. (The IAFD entry linked to above is little more than height, weight, age, hair colour, and distinguishing marks. If that were enough, every person with a passport would rate an encyclopaedia article. All other purported biographies are the same.) This actress does not satisfy the Wikipedia:criteria for inclusion of biographies, and there are simply no sources for making a biographical article. Delete. Uncle G 02:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I respect your opinions, Uncle G. I found you balance on voting in the AfD/VfD. I don't like *-crufts as much as the next guy but we already have gazillion porn star bio articles in Wikipedia. I'm not into pornography but there is an adult video trade publication that has covered her. It is the AVN which has a semi-article in Wikipedia. They had an interview about her that shows some biographical data but not that much. Not Safe For Work reference (see copyright "©2001 AVN Publications") Although, this doesn't fit your criteria but a popular weblog, Fleshbot has covered her as well. Again Not Safe For Work --J.

Delete - nn CLW 06:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
I, um, haven't seen this name that I've noticed. I agree with Uncle G on the general principles for articles in this category, and on the verifiable data in this case not showing notability. The article says she's a frontrunner for a 2006 award from a leading publication, Adult Video News, but WP is not a crystal ball. If it happens, we could discuss whether that award confers notability, but I think the consensus would be "no", not without some of the other criteria that Uncle G mentioned.

[edit] Del Mar 8

Webcomic hosted on keenspace here. We can see it is not a popular keenspace comic, as it is not mentioned in the Alexa report. It must be sub top 50 I guess. Also, the comic is fairly new, having on made 40 or so strips, and has been running for a few months. I do not endorse WP:COMIC, the guidelines state that when this comic reaches the 100 strip barrier, it should have an article. This is wrong, however, it doesn't even meet their incredulously slack criteria. Would not be surprised if it is vanity/advertising. - Hahnchen 00:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm never one to turn down a good hit. Wait, lemme rephrase that. I'm never one to to turn down a good way of getting hits for this Web site. When I found Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia edited by its users, I proceded immediately to create a page for Detective Fork...

I hope that the author understands, wikipedia's purpose is not to provide a forum for creating hits. Once the webcomic is notable, someone else will create the article. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 02:21, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Response - Well, let me address the issues that you've brought up in regards to deleting the entry about my comic. Please understand that I'm often flip in the blog on my site. A lot of what I say there is tongue-in-cheek or exxagerated. I put Detective Fork on Wikipedia because I feel I do a good comic that has depth and will continue for some time. I thought an article on it might be of interest to people who like Web comics. I won't lie and say I mind people following the link to see the comic itself. Another thing you bring up is that there are only five forum members. The forum was put up about a week ago. I do get readers on my site but Detective Fork has a regular group of readers on DrunkDrunk.com and on JellyCreations.com. I don't know what qualifies as "notable" but just have a look at my fan art section to see that a number of people follow the comic and are inspired to do their own artwork based on it. Finally, is it against Wikipedia policy to write an article on something you created? I'm not promoting the hell out of the comic, just providing info on the characters and stories. I sense your decision to delete the article is based more on a dislike of me from what I wrote in my blog and on a perception that Detective Fork is not important enough, not from hard criteria. Would you consider keeping the entry if perhaps I change something about the article you don't like? Please work with me here.

- Comment - I put Detective Fork up for deletion because it hardly has any readers, gaining no Alexa rank at all. What makes your website more notable than every other website out there? It may have a core few fans, but so does every other website in the world. My decision to nominate articles on deletion have nothing to do with feelings towards the author at all, although I must say, placing a link from Cutlery was a bit cheeky. - Hahnchen 21:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

- Comment - That's the point I was making earlier. Detective Fork has a good number of readers from being posted and seen on other sites. You can't judge the readership just by the hits on detectivefork.com. My site is the best resource for the comic, however, and that's why I posted that link. And the Wikipedia entry is for the comic itself, not just the Web page. The reviews I'm given by readers compliment the comic's originality. It was also a nominee for "Best Anthropomorphic Comic" in this year's Web Cartoonists Choice awards. Does Detective Fork get Penny Arcade numbers? No way. But neither do other Web comics you have listed. Looking back, yes, the cutlery thing was a combination of cheek and bad judgement. - DetectiveFork 22:10, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Does not even fufill the alternate proposal for webcomic inclusion. -Nameneko 23:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. In regards to the alternate proposal for posting Web comics, I have met the 33 week minimum. I am about a month shy of having 100 comics up. The entry was posted by me but I do not in it wax on about how great my comic is. It is factual. Let me refer you to the part of the guidelines that says, "Remember, however, that these are merely guidelines. Sites that are close to, but still under, these thresholds may also be included on the basis that webcomics customarily grow in size and have a higher likelihood of increasing in readership and, thus, becoming encyclopedic." It all depends on how strict you feel like being, seeing as they are guidelines and not strict rules, after all.

DetectiveFork 00:15, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

- Reply - I have nothing against your webcomic, I know you want to see it succeed, but Wikipedia should not be used as a promotional tool. You seen to have a pretty good sense of humour about you, and you've not spammed this nomination with constant numerous keep votes. But the problem with the guidelines at WP:COMIC is that they are way too lax, there are some webcomic articles on wikipedia which are even more unnotable than your one, that's true. But we will get round to reviewing them, it is because of the overly lax guidelines that so many have been let in unchallenged. But the reason for my nomination still stands, I don't see anything which lifts your website apart from any other out there. Also, did you know that there is a Wiki for comics? Yours is already there, and it's a great place for it. - Hahnchen 02:27, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. author has largely admitted that it isnt' widely read. Potential to grow does not equal notability. DirectorStratton 02:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I had seen the listing on Comixpedia, which seemed to show up there automatically after placing the article here. Are you saying that the listing on Comixpedia would remain even if this one is deleted? Also, I acknowledge that the job you've undertaken is to keep Wikipedia credible and that, although the guidelines aren't concrete, most of you have a belief about what the qualifications of a webcomic should be. I don't seem to have won anybody over with my arguments so far and, while I hope they do, the outlook on the Magic 8 Ball is grim. If the entry is deleted, I can only hope my comic gets the kind of hits someday that earns itself back an entry and inspires someone else to pen it. I understand even Penny Arcade started small...DetectiveFork 07:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - It will stay on Comixpedia, where you can add and edit it. When it does gain a popularity and widespread recognition, you can migrate it back over. - 83.151.204.235 14:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

- While a category can't tell you what shows these folks are famous for, if someone were to create an article for each one, those articles could identify the shows.

Why marked for deletion? I wrote the article from scratch.

This is not advertising. I recently underwent Levulan Therapy and there is almost no information about it available on the web. The treatment is brand new and very effective at treating both acne and scars. As a longstanding acne sufferer, I can promise you that people will be happy to learn about this procedure. I wrote a long article about my experience at [[10]] and posted the beginning of the article on wikipedia. I am willing to post entire article and remove link, if that is causing the deletion.

Comment This article was created by an agressive spammer. He's reverted the page back to an addvertisement, complete with price. He's created another article for the same product, as well as linking them to Acne several times. Interestingly, the current Levulan article mentions that it's illegal to market it as an acne treatment which is probably why it's being advertised here. Kill this with fire. Make a page for the parent company and make this one line inside it if we have to, but I still say kill it with fire.

- Ban the asshole. Is this Astroturfing or enthusiasm that the anon is rid of his acne? Pilatus 01:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry. Ban him if necessary. The article is now hopefully a decent stub. If this gets reverted again a ban is in order. As far as the "illegal marketing" goes, I presume the anonymous author refers to off-label use, which must not be advertised. Pilatus 01:41, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- I wrote the article, and it is not an advertisment. I'm not even selling the service! As for reverting the article, all I did is add more information. You have a 3 sentence stub that provides no useful information. I underwent Levulan Therapy, it made a huge difference for me, and I wrote a long article about it. All of the information may not be as cleanly written and edited as you like, but it is accurate and useful information. I suffered from Acne for 10 years and this helped with the problem, so I wanted to share the information. Here is the original article I wrote :www.wasauna.com/levulan.html - does this look like an advertisment to you? Maybe the link to the doctor who treated me seems like an advertisment, but it was on my personal story website, not on the wikipedia page. -Dave

[edit] Jeffrey Vernon Merkey

I have nominated this page for deletion for the following reasons:

1. Jimbo Wales gave his word to me that this page would be protected from vandalism and that he would take actions to prevent wikipedia from being used as a platform for libel and posting of sealed court documents.

WALES POST 1: I did agree with Mr. Merkey to take down some vandalism which has been posted here about him, and temporarily protect the articles while we sort out what's going on.Some really vile stuff was posted about him in some of these articles by anonymous ip numbers -- he seemed to think that it was one of our admins, but I explained otherwise. What I can safely say is that Wikipedia should not libel anyone, and that our normal standards of good conduct are expected of everyone.--Jimbo Wales 22:07, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Note: the above has now been clarified to be a correct quotation of a post made by Jimbo Wales in this edit, in response to this edit by 67.137.28.189 (talk • contribs).

Nomination Withdrawn Based upon the assurances of the Wiki Editors, and their prompt, diligent and COURTEOUS commentary on this page, and their acknowledgement of the Mr. Wales Views and directives. My nomination of this page for deletion is hereby withdrawn.

Keep Jimbo Wales promises are most certainly going to be honored by these folks. Gadugi 01:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Merkey --fvw * 04:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete not because of what Gadugi wrote above, but simply because there is no assertion of Merkey's notability. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 07:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep for reasons given by fvw. Merkey appears to be a public figure. His feeling that he might have to withdraw from wikipedia due to perceived conflict of interest is irrelevent.Brandon39 08:32, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep for all the same old reasons. Vizjim 09:27, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep per fvw. Also reading that Talk page made me feel stupider by several IQ points and I see no reason why others shouldn't share my pain. Possibly even speedy, there's enough bad faith flying around that article to fill several intelligent design committees. --Last Malthusian 10:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep because Jeff is certainly notable, and because empty threats are not a reason to delete anything. As for fear of vandalism, Wikipedia can deal with that as it can with all vandalism. Last but not least, the page can use some objective editing and citing of sources; I believe that the only source of the military awards so far is Mr. Merkey himself. --MJ 10:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I will scan and post my DD214 and Orders granting the awards from the Secretary of the Army. 67.137.28.187 23:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment I'd like to see Jimbo Wales' assurances in his own words. Could someone post the actual text of his promises, or a pointer to them? Jimbo sometimes makes very carefully qualified statements, and people sometimes engage in wishful thinking when relating what he said in their own words. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Note: As requested by me, the relevant text has been quoted above, in the paragraph, "WALES POST 1". The original posting appears in Talk:Jeffrey_Vernon_Merkey which I ought to have checked myself. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment I just reviewed the changes since the page was unprotected and I don't see anything that looks to me like "vandalism" by the "SCOX lynch mob" or anything else. All I see is some wikification by User:Jonathunder, who is not a vandal, and the addition and then the removal of a {{vprotect}} tag by an anon, 67.177.35.211, followed by the insertion of an {{afd}} tag. Gadugi, what exactly is your complaint?

I can easily believe that Jimbo promised in a general that way the page would be protected from vandalism, but I find it unlikely that he promised that the content of any page would remain indefinitely under the control of any single individual. It is appropriate to ask the Wikipedian community to exercise special vigilance on a page, but not to ask that nobody ever be allowed to change it, or that all changes be preapproved by a single person. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep whilst vandalism is unfortunate it can usually be controlled, and is not a reason to delete stuff chowells
Keep. Jeff Merkey has made himself a very notable individual in the SCO-Linux controversies by making an offer to buy a snapshot of the Linux kernel to be licensed under the BSD license. Such people often want to either have exclusive control over their article, so that it excludes anything they would rather people didn't know about them, or to delete it because they won't possess exclusive control over it. However, this is not a privilege we have ever extended to anyone; as for Mr. Merkey's claims that he received a personal promise from Jimbo Wales that he would be given such control, I quote from the Findings of Fact in Novell v. Timpanogos Research Group, Inc.: "... this statement is another example of Merkey's penchant for self-serving, separate reality, dishonesty ... While it is human nature for each of us to put our own spin on events which we observe ... Merkey nonetheless regularly exaggerates or lies in his comments to others about events happening around him. It is as though he is creating his own separate reality." Clearly the article should be kept, and yes, a careful eye should be kept on it to protect it from vandalism. However, the history shows that the vandalism it is most likely to experience is Mr. Merkey himself removing documented facts he finds unfavorable, either under his username Gadugi or under a number of anon IPs. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:40, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment If vandalism can be controlled, I have no objection to this page. As for quoting from a 9 year old ruling, anyone who believes that mouldy piece of fiction written by Novell's stooge judge speaks for itself. It reads like an astrology report. If you are going to quote from it, please also quote from the orders removing the judge from the case by the Utah State Legislature and the Judicial Conduct Commission. You are free to quote facts, just remember there are two sides to every story, and you should present NPOV which is to present both sides. Also be advised that some portions of these court documents are sealed. Gadugi 17:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Protect yourself from falsehood This is a pearl indeed from the talk page of Antaeus Feldspar. It certainly applies here: I used to believe (and tell others that I believed) that "When your goal is to act in an ethical and moral manner, your first and foremost enemy is always yourself." I now know I was wrong. If you have the basic desire to act ethically in the first place, then you have to take second place in line to a whole lot of other people out there who can do a lot better of a job twisting your good intentions into bad deeds than you can. To be hoist by one's own petard is not necessarily the easiest or most common way to go, only the one with the most irony. Beware of approaching a problem by trying to find its identifying characteristics. What is truly needed, and what should be the goal of your search, is distinguishing characteristics. gadugi 17:27, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Anaeus and Gadugi/Jeff, let's keep this constructive and OT. What happens outside of WikiPedia should be kept out until it has bearing on an article itself. Jeff, you are also not helping your own case by making unsupported allegations about anyone criticising you, and besides, it has no bearing on this discussion. Just not stepping into such discussions would be even better. --MJ 18:59, 26 September 2005 (UTC).

If someone has been described by a federal judge in a Findings of Fact as having a tendency to create his own separate reality, I think it is perfectly on-topic to bring this up in the context of certain promises supposedly made to that person by Jimbo Wales -- for which we have only that person's word that said promises were ever made, and what their content was. Of course, I think Mr. Merkey's attempt to impersonate Jimbo Wales rather supersedes any documentation I could provide to indicate that his word is not exactly to be taken on faith. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I think you are being a uncharitable in your assertion that this was an attempted impersonation, the comment is part of a comment by Jimbo Wales from the articles talk page [12], he did also leave the date of 13 September in place from the original comment. What he failed to make clear was that he was partially quoting and who was doing the quoting. (The item is missing is the text is the opening sentence "Obviously that isn't what I said." in response to Gadugi's original characterisation of his discussion with Jimbo.) I do agree that it would be helpful if Gadugi logged in consistently rather than having multiple "accounts", and if he'd simply provided a link to the original discussion. As it stands though I'm not sure what help the comment is, it doesn't seem to promise any special treatment, just business as usual.

I have dismissed the Federal Lawsuit as of today (2:05CV521) [[13]] to help remove any impediments to my contributions to Wiki and other areas of the industry. At this point, I will be posting ALL of the documents to merkeylaw.com. This will paint the whole situation with the broadest brush strokes and allow folks the freedom to tell the WHOLE story, not just the distorted side of the facts protrayed by Novell. Gadugi 19:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. It is clear that Jimbo Wales did not promise that the page would be protected indefinitely. What he did was give his assurance to Gadugi that Wikipedia policy did not tolerate the sort of treatment he had received. I am putting Jeffrey Vernon Merkey on my watchlist, to help revert vandalism promptly, and I hope everyone else reading this will do likewise. Gadugi should not expect that the page will never be edited or that he will like every edit that is made, but is entitled to insist that everything said be factual and neutral.

Delete Lynch Mob has descended from the maw of hell itself. Gadugi 01:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Speedy keep. Merkey is certainly notable. In fact, his frequent attempts to block WP from mentioning him in a way he fanatasizes as libelous is probably notable in itself, since it makes him a public figure (albeit of mockery). Just check out Groklaw to see how public Merkey is. It's funny for someone to try to AfD an article about themselves too, IMO. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 01:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

There are not very many AfD (or formerly VfD) topics that I am already pretty well familiar with prior to following the AfD to the page. Sometimes once I find out what the thing is, I vote keep, but in this case I was already aware of Merkey's noteriety before clicking on the link (actually, more so before than after... the page wasn't very good before; but I think I cleaned it up quite a bit, despite Merkey's own vandalism of the page about him). YMMV, and obviously, you'll know different thing in advance. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 07:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep, Information is true and a accurate description of Merkey person and behviour.

keep But we need to add an article on the fact that Jeffrey Vernon Merkey was single handedly responsible for the abomination known as Disco in the 70's. He also may have played a role in the invention of the Leisure suit, however this cannot be proven because he succesfully got the 'Disco vs Good Taste' court records sealed. User:66.15.214.167 (this IP address has made exactly two edits: one to Merkey page, and this non-serious comment)

Comment: This article is mainly a description of why he is the most powerful character. This isn't even proven, and personally i think it's incorrect. Everything notable is already covered in Gogeta. Super Saiyan Plough 07:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment: IT IS PROVEN AND IS CORRECT, I think we Japanese know our animations. If in any doubts, consult the Japanese production or Mr. Toriyama (he did take part in the writing/advisor). Please also check Japanese web pages, etc. If he is not the most powerful, who is?? Broly?? Super Saiyan 2 Gojita?? In the Japanese version, SSJ4 Gogita has been mentioned to be the most powerful as well as One star Shenron being the most powerful villain. SSJ4 Gojita deserves a separate page. The author only wrote it for the benefit of the western world which is bombarded with their own interpretation of what or what not Japanese animation should be and with their own dubbing of the Japanese originals. There are way too many kids out there who think watching a few of our productions would make them the expert of our products!

As mentioned, the article was written for the benefit of the western world, if they do not desire authentic information, then let Wikipedia clouded with false (westernised) information and let's called it CRAPedia!

Also, much of the information on article Gogeta were inserted by me to the original article, that's why one would think there is duplicated information. I am interested in providing authentic information. Readers who have no desire for such information may choose to ignore this article "Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta".

"Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta" is now a stand-alone article. Articles "Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta" and "Gogeta" are no longer cross-linked, they are separate entities.

Keep (original: Do not delete): What's everyone's obsession with perfection? Yes, I agree with Secretlondon, to an extent, that to be in here, a piece of information needs to be presented contextually, but why not label it as being in severe need of revision, as opposed to removing information which is a) rare and b) very interesting and releveant to exploration of "warez" culture? Again, just because some information is "not encyclopedic" doesn't mean that it shouldn't belong in an encyclopedia, especially one with as many limitless capabilities as Wikipedia. We don't remove a picture of a green apple because it's notr epresentative of apples in general, do we? Finally, let's take Sapient's cue and describe "what it is," instead of killing off valuable information. NeoThe1 01:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep This article is appendix for Warez and Topsite. Instead of including this load of text into the articles, it's made as separate page, for sake of clarity. Reason for text to image is, that standards are ratified as they are, the text itself cannot be changed, even if it sounds silly or contains errors. New revisions to standards should replace the old images. S33k3r 15:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I see where you are going with this, but Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not states: Wikipedia articles are not.... 3. Mere collections of public domain or other source material such as entire books or source code, original historical documents, letters, laws, proclamations, and other source material that are only useful when presented with their original, un-modified wording. Does this not fall foul here, in its current state? Are these standards accessible on an external web-site and as such be referenced as an external link? If this article were an explanation of the standards, how they are arrived at, how they have developed and their significance, then I would consider that encyclopedic and worthy of inclusion. As it stands, I'm afraid I'll have to stick with my original opinion. Sapient 22:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe I should translate the website and put it on the talk page. The private thing is that this channel has the photo of one man on the front page, team and "Live" pages are "under construction", instead the list of DVDs for sale works. And on the front page you will notice the "Virtual University, coming soon." In fact I will be happy enough if someone confirm that he/she can actually watch this 24-hour program on satellite. The information for that is also available at the front page. I don't have the facilities. Thanks. Behdad 14:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm flabbergasted that someone could claim that "Doesn't merit an article" is anything other than a reason for deletion.

Can you guys start a good Wikified section of "Calculator#Games" with the most notable calculator games?

[edit] Doomer

User:Eclipsenow.org has put considerable work into this page in only a span of hours since its creation, and parts of it deserve to be merged into Hubbert peak theory; however the term "doomer" itself is a neologism, and Wikipedia has a tradition of resisting the creation of pages documenting neologisms unless they have already spread to the mainstream media. Hence, I believe the page itself should be deleted along with peaknik (seperate AFD). Dragons flight 12:33, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete/Merge as suggested. Groeck 22:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep, as the terms peaknik and doomer are in common use and are just beginning to break through into the mainstream media, and they define different issues to the terms "peak oil optimists and peak oil pessimists" which raises matters of WHEN oil peaks, not what it MEANS. Don't merge as the complicated doomer scenarios and worldviews attached to the Doomer paradigm could grow in this article, and would terribly inflate the Hubbert's peak scientific theory of oil depletion, with no end of debate. Having a seperate entry for Doomer allows the Doomer crowd to focus their attention on the definition of their paradigm in that entry, rather than endlessly swelling and debating the various collapse scenarios under Hubbert's peak, which actually deals in the scientific facts of oil depletion. The Doomer article has only just started. I can see it swelling to 4 or 5 times the current size, as various collapse scenarios are expanded on, and expert Doomer authors such as Heinberg, Kunstler, Duncan, and others are quoted or write for themselves in the Wiki Doomer entry. The peak oil question is one of the most important questions society faces this decade, and it may be even more immediate than global warming. The potential for severe economic pain, or even chaotic doomer collapse, is real. Surely the importance of the subject demands that this entry remains, even if the term does not strictly meet the Wikipedia guidelines this month? Because it WILL be in the mainstream press sometime in the next 12 months, I guarantee it. Adopting this term early will help countless new peakniks decide where they fall on the peaknik / doomer spectrum, and actually facilitate this discussion in the media, allowing Wikipedia to be an influential "mover and shaker" in the cultural debate, as well as maintaining intellectual credibility of describing something that is already established. Adopting this term is not "making stuff up" but just being slightly ahead of the curve. (Interesting pun in the context of Hubbert's peak.) Surely this is in Wikipedia's best interests? Eclipsenow.org 9:39 Sydney Australia, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
- Eclipsenow, since most of our concern stems from the use of what are very new words, I'm wondering if you could write about the material you want to discuss without using them? The Hubbert peak article is already a substantial 48k and I would think there is plenty of room for it to semi-organically grow into other articles like post peak oil scenarios or social responses to peak oil, or whatever. As long as you can write verifiable content in accordance with our neutral point of view policy, I think the encyclopedia as a whole would welcome more content on this issue. I do think however think that most of us would prefer you not consistently use the terms "doomer" and "peaknik". It might be more cumbersome for you to write "those expecting social collapse", or similar phrases all the time, but it is better from an encyclopedic point of view. Also, if you wanted to mention in passing that they are "sometimes called 'doomers'", or something similar, at the start of a discussion on apocalyptic views of peak oil, I wouldn't particularly mind. It is just that Wikipedia doesn't want to be leading the charge to adopt new terminology that isn't already well established. If you do feel up to writing on apocalyptic views of peak oil or something similar, I suggest you talk to the people at Talk:Hubbert peak theory. Most topics, when they expand into multiple articles, do so by removing chunks of an existing large article and growing from that, so it is good to talk to the people that have already been working on this topic in order to coordinate.

Rename, as suggested above, to post peak oil scenarios where a lot of the weight of the Hubbert's Peak article could be shed. A very brief summary of the various positions might remain on the Hubbert's peak page, with the full details being spelt out in the post peak oil scenarios page. Sorry for any trouble — I'm new here. :-) Also, I wouldn't dream of renaming it myself... I'll break something. But if someone else were to rename the "Doomer" article, I'd be very grateful and encourage concise but lively definition writing in the post peak oil scenarios page rather than bloating the Hubbert's Peak page overly. Hubbert's peak is about when oil peaks, the Scenarios page is about what it might mean. Eclipsenow.org What time zone am I meant to include here? 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peaknik

The term "peaknik" is a neologism, and Wikipedia has a tradition of resisting the creation of pages documenting neologisms unless they have already spread to the mainstream media. Hence, I believe the page should be deleted along with the related, but considerably more elaorate, "doomer" (seperate AFD). Dragons flight 12:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Justice League Avengers

The Justice League Avengers are "real"; that is, they have a fictional existence in a major fictional context (even if that is just a cameo appearance in a series of one-shot books published by the two largest publishers in their medium.) However, this article isn't about the "real" appearances of that group; it's a fan's opinion on what should be done with them. As such, it's original research. (The title may not even be correct; the title may have actually been "Judgement League Avengers".)

No indication that this is a real or significant concept in psychology or cultural debate. Unless shown otherwise, weak delete. Barno 18:06, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete, rant, likely original research. Owen× ☎ 18:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
The author removed content from the emotion page and put it on a new war on emotion page, most likely because he disagreed with its POV. The funny thing is that I agree with the author that this content does indeed represent a limited POV, nonetheless, we can arrive at the final result better through intelligent discussion than through rash provocative deletions and postings. I'd appreciate if in the future, the author would take a deep breath himself and cool down his own emotions before making changes to articles. Hackwrench's action was inappropriate, and I concur with the others that this article should be deleted. I look forward to working with Hackwrench and the other emotion authors to come to a compromise that works for everyone. Perhaps a section titled "Approaches to Emotion in Psychotherapy" would be acceptable to all parties. sallison 20:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the material from the emotion page once, and sombody regressed the page, so I moved it to a new article, where I thought it seemed fit, and addressed why it fit the topic. I am confused at the categorization of my action as rash and provocative, though and would appreciate it if Sallison were to elaborate further.

Delete I agree with Paul - strange (and weird) article. Groeck 22:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

The strongest example in modern culture is Equilibrium_(2002_film), although Vulcan (Star Trek) shows this too. The theme can be found in many fictional distopian societies.

Delete. What I'm seeing is unsourced OR/POV essay. MCB 06:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

To elaborate at Hackwrench's request, the so called "War on Emotion" is not an actual war, but rather your personal conflict with another author. That is, unless you have some references to back up the assertion that this particular conflict stems from a conflict within the larger academic community that has been termed "The War on Emotion." If you came up with that term on your own because you were mad at the other author, and not from research, then you were acting provocatively. In short, it's what the other reviewers here are calling an unsourced OR/POV essay. I haven't seen you discuss this issue on the emotion talk page. From what I can infer from your actions, I think your point is very valid. I agree that the emotion page needs to have a much more neutral point of view, but perhaps an attempt at diplomacy is in order before resorting to a one-man-war. sallison 08:11, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Hackwrench now appears to be making a concerted effort to turn this page from what originally appeared to be a personal attack on another author into an article on a theme that may (or may not) be considered valid by others. I would be more convinced if the author could cite some sources in hard print in addition to his web sources. In general, the move away from inflamatory discourse is commendable. I don't know if this revised article will meet the standards of the other reviewers taking part in this discussion, but at least my biggest concern regarding this particular article has been directly addressed. I would like to express my thanks to the author for his efforts in this regard. sallison 09:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Fix. The phrase (and related idea) the article is based on has substancial usage. The article doesn't explore it very well though. Even if the majority view is that the concept is silly, the article should remain - and contain POV details of why the idea's not very useful. 203.208.80.13 00:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rooms (webcomic)

Totally unnotable webcomic in every way, which can be found here, and its post apocalytic forums can be found here. Alexa shows it up as 4 million +. It has been running for over a year and has probably over 100 strips, and so illustrates the dire straits of WP:COMIC. - Hahnchen 18:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

As the creator, artist and writer of said webcomic, I object to the comments made above. Firstly, with regards to the forums. The forums have never been very active but then this has never been a sign of the popularity (or supposed lack of it) of the comic. I recieve e-mails and talk to fans of the comic over MSN regularly and I have recieved nothing but positive feedback from them, apart from one or two comments relating to artwork that I have since rectified. The writer of the above comments shows their obvious lack of attention to detail when they state that the comic has "probably" over 100 strips. If they had read the comic at all, or the newsposts, they would find that the comic has indeed had over 100 strips (as illustrated in a anniversary comic) and that it is in fact, almost upto the sum of 150. I myself doubted the popularity of my comic at one point, but I have recently installed a statcounter on my site and am happy to report that Rooms now recieves more visitors (and more returning visitors) than it has done in the history of the comic and this is currently on the rise. I also would like to call into question the amount of traffic cited as being reasonable for a web-comic. A friend of mine, who has been a long time supporter of the site, described it as "ludicrous", and I myself have to concur. There are many webcomics on the internet, with articles on this very site, which have lower levels of traffic than the proposed number. I therefore propose that the subject in question is not whether Rooms should be deleted but whether any of the many small webcomic entries of wikipedia should be allowed to remain. I personally believe that they should not be removed as there are always people who will be interested in procuring information about less well known comics and to deny them this opportunity would be a grave shame. The description of my comic as "totally unnotable...in every way" in the above comment is also very subjective. It seems to me as if the comment was written by someone who just decided that they didn't like the comic (or possibly myself) and therefore it was worthy to be removed from wikipedia. I know for a fact that my readers wouldn't describe my comic as "unnotable" and I believe this subjective viewpoint to weaken the rest of the writer's arguments. Obviously, the final verdict is upto you but please consider the matter carefully before you reach your verdict. For it is not just the fate of this entry that you will be deciding but of all small-time comic entries. Thank you. - Euan Mumford 17:05, 1st October 2005

Reply - Do you know that your webcomic is already at comixPedia. Comixpedia is the place for small time webcomics, as you yourself have said. And regarding the mention of webcomics at wikipedia which are even more non notable. We will be deleting them too, AFD takes time. My concern has been that guidelines at WP:COMIC have been overly lax, compare say with WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. Had your the article in question not been in the webcomic category, and listed as a website instead, it would have definitely be deleted. My opinion of your webcomic did not come into play during this nomination, or any nomination that I may make. - Hahnchen 23:57, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep This is another example of Hahnchen's poorly worded, baseless, and aggressive AfD nominations. This exact same thing happened last week, with that comic described as having 'hardly any' readers and as being 'minor minor' - despite having page views into the thousands and almost 550 strips in the archive. It seems that no statistics decide which articles get deleted except the whims of Hahnchen himself, who has admitted on his talk page to having no real knowledge of webcomics. --Hijamiefans
- Reply - I object, my nominations are usually very well worded and arguments explained. Webcomics are not inherently more notable than websites, no matter what you may claim on my talk page. There are many more popular blogs/pornsites/forums than the webcomic in question, we should not judge webcomics with a totally different criteria. As for real people going to wikipedia to look up small time comic entries, they should be going to comixpedia. If that isn't good enough for those budding webartists, then obviously it's a problem with their ego. - Hahnchen 12:47, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Previous AFD. No vote. Dragons flight 19:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment, Yeah well I added this article myself to try to expand on the topic which had been red-linked on several Nazi-related articles on Wikipedia. Anyway if you feel this should be deleted then I would suggest to perhaps have a more expanded description on Nazi mysticism surrounding the theories purported for this particular subject. Piecraft 19:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Is it possible to simply delete this article without having to go through this process? I have already saved it to be edited into a more concise version in the Nazi mysticism article. Thanks. Piecraft 19:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
According to the rules we are perfectly justfied in deleting this without further discussion. However I think provided the propertly netural tone is maintained (i.e. that there is no evidence whatsoever to support this claim) the article is an interesting one. DJ Clayworth 19:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- It can't be deleted as a recreation because the current content is not derived from the previous content. Maybe we can call it a user mistake, but I'm not really sure I'd want to use that since Piecraft seems to believe the information deserves to exist, he just isn't sure where to put it. Dragons flight 19:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment is "it's a hoax" a good enough reason to delete it, particularly when the suggestion exists outside of wikipedia and its mirrors? Whilst I agree it is a hoax, considering the Nazis didn't get the V2 rockets working till 1943 and later, I don't completely agree that this should be the sole reason for deleting it. chowells 19:58, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment My only worry, a docking big one, is that a naive reader (and they do exist) might carelessly think this has something to do with physical reality. As a documentation of myth or whatever, it's helpful. Wyss 20:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- How about prefixing it with a brief summary? "The existence of a Nazi moon base is an infamous conspiracy theory which holds that..." makes it clear it's fictional. It is one of the more famously nonsensical theories floating around, it's not original research, and as such it's probably deserving of an article if it makes those clear in context... Shimgray | talk | 11:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Query I basically decided to opt for what Wyss suggested to me earlier and add the necessary text relating to the Moon base and the SS technology in the Nazi mysticism article, however this has now been deleted by Pjacobi because it has been regarded as not being verifiable or relevant? Someone please help me out here because now I'm confused. I think the Nazi Moon base should have a mention for encyclopedic purposes seeing as it is a recognised and explored subject by many people who study Nazi mysticism and Nazi conspiracies. As for the SS technology, this is already accounted for being factual based on another article that can be found on WIkipedia. Piecraft 20:55, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hitler's Pope

I've thought quite a bit about listing this article since it has some interesting points. However it is, IMO, largely lengthy non-NPOV critiscism of a book, which probably violates copyright/fair use by containing an extremely long quote. As such, I don't think it's worth of an encyclopedia article and the useful bits could very well be merged elsewhere. chowells 19:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't know, Chowells. It is true that the article is badly in need of cleaning up and cutting it down to size in order to make it conform to the book. I have asked another user to have a look and you might reconsider after he has done some editing. But your criticism towards the current state is valid. This page (and other's like Pope's Hitler) was orignally created by someone to use it as a soapbox for his views on Pius XII and related (and not so related) issues. Hence many things are included that are not in the book, hence it largely is parallel to the original Pius XII page. Str1977 20:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC) But in the end, I vote for keeping a cleaned up and de-POV'ed version. Str1977 08:22, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete For one thing, the article has copyright problems; it seems to be a copy of this page. I do think that this organization might ultimately be worthy of an article, but the information provided on the current article is way too far from NPOV to be salvagable- we'd be left with nothing but a few names. I createed a new stub from information on the Foundation's website at Dhammakaya Foundation that should serve until more specific, non-POV info can be located. 'Dhammakaya' is the Pali equivalent of the Sanskrit 'dharmakaya'- something quite specific in Buddhist philosophy, and not really related to this particular organization. --Clay Collier 20:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Actually, it was listed as an A1 because of a lack of context, and if I had been thinking, it would have been A3, as well. (I was the one who listed it for speedy deletion.) Since I tagged it, though, context has been added, so it's no longer speediable.

[edit] YMMSS - Your Money Machine Success System

Listing for deletion because it seems to have been conceived as an attack on the company that runs the scheme. It was later turned into ad ad for the company. A few iterations later it was alternating with a sketchy reference to the scheme. This was then replaced with a letter asking the article's deletion.

I have no opinion on this but I think we should probably at least consider that the scheme may not be encyclopedic. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 20:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I

Although I originally created this entry myself, it was merged to GWR 6000 Class by Duncharris, with the reason given being "write a decent stub or none at all please". I feel that instead of being removed unilaterally, the process should be via AfD - I have therefore reverted the merge and brought it here. My own personal vote would be Keep, as I believe that this stub could be added to by locomotive enthusiasts (not a speciality of mine) but, as mentioned, my vote should be viewed in consideration of the fact that it was me who created the initial stub ("decent" or otherwise). CLW 21:02, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Close the Afd, and talk about the merge on the talk page. I don't see how Afd is a good way to discuss this issue. As for the merits of the article, I'd say redirect it for now, with the possibility of it being a seperate article when and if there's enough information to warrant it. Context is good. But I see no reason for the Afd when apparently nobody wants this article to go away. Friday (talk) 21:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment One problem is that the ~~GWR Class 6000~~ GWR 6000 Class page used to link to GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I. If we put the link back it won't be a redlink, it will just link to a page which is a circular redirect (there is the same problem on another of other pages) chowells 21:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment Duncharris also turned into redirects a number of similar articles on preserved locomotives (some of which were created by me). I disagree with this unilateral approach when there was no attempt whatsoever to discuss or reach consensus and IMO AfD is the correct way to resolve it. Please see my talk page. chowells 21:21, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment a redirect can be undone as easily as it was done. I'm still not sure why the Afd, but maybe that's just me. Friday (talk) 22:05, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Purely because User:Duncharris considered this, and several other similar articles, to be inappropriate, and decided to turn them into redirects chowells 22:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

That's as maybe, but why AFD? There are no articles here to be commented on for deletion. There are considrably better ways to handle this. This could be, for example, debated through a centralised discussion. Grutness...wha? 07:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC) (I'm a LNER man myself...)

The article for comment for deletion is GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I CLW 07:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Merge, but as I explained to Chowells, it's not that it isn't potentially notable that I merged it, it is that it was a substub and cruft. It has no content that would be useful to a reader who would be better directed to the article on the class as a whole. If we manage to get the page on the GWR King Class up to a decent standard, then we should be thinking about splitting some off. However GWR King Class is a stub which doesn't even list all of their names. It also happens that 6024 isn't even the most notable King, the first 6000 King George V is. The worst thing is that the information required to write a basic stub is online, as are several photographs that he could request permission to use if he could be bothered to send out a boilerplate request for permission. There is even more info if he is interested enough in the subject to buy the right books. I think there is a lack of knowledge and/or laziness and unwillingness to do research here.

Keep. That a lost child's toy can become a medium-scale Internet meme is notable. I don't understand how this is advertising. The original Hopkin Green Frog ad was a real paper ad stapled to a pole, written by an autistic teen, and it took off from there. See Boing Boing report, for instance. Since this has an origin and conclusion researched by third parties it's got great article potential, although what's there needs a lot of work. This is the sort of thing that Wikipedia does particularly well. I'll see if I can clean the article up a bit later on. — mendel ☎ 16:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eugenics measures in Japanese Empire

This might be the most horribly garbled article I've ever seen. The topic is certainly notable, and an appropriate article about eugenics in the Japanese empire (or in Japan in general) should be created, but this article offers little that would be of use Paul 22:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. One person's opinion on how garbled an article is ... well, this is quite possible to clean up. I often wonder how many people who always vote to keep and clean up have actually made a concerted effort to clean up a mess like this. Well, I have made User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan to address just this. Don't use AfD for clean-up. Charles Matthews 09:45, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment Well done on cleaning it up. You should appreciate that many of us have no expertise in this area. So an Afd seems appropriate to me for the original state of the article - either somebody knows and cares, or they don't and if nobody does then delete is a good course of action. Dlyons493 Talk 13:07, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment on comment: The policy page tells me things like 'use extreme caution merging any material', which I really don't like (merging is key to some clean-ups); and anyone can see this article should be moved to a grammatical title. So I don't accept that gun-to-the-head is a good way to expedite clean-up. Charles Matthews

Charles Matthews is definitely right about not using AfD for cleanup. We already have {cleanup} available as a tag, and that's much more appropriate (per nom who states in the AfD itself that the "topic is notable"). Voting "keep", BTW, doesn't obligate a voter to do the cleanup her/himself—doing so is great, but not everyone has expertise in everything. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 16:31, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Looks better after the clean-up and there is a lot of scope for a good article here. Keresaspa 16:01, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Was cleaned up significantly since Paul's nomination. All who voted "Delete" prior to Charles' work, please review the new version. Owen× ☎ 17:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Move What salvageable content is here should be moved to the 'Eugenics and the state, 1890s-1945' section of Eugenics, which is a very fine article and is where readers can find additional information as well as context. With respect, I find the cleanup commendations confounding. The Eugenics article illustrates a number of highly dubious assertions in this. Most notably, the author has conflated a science (genetics) with a social philosophy (eugenics), unless I have somehow missed the Japanese eugenics degree available as a pre-war discipline. Also, the last line, Eugenic thinking probably had wider effects. Japanese soldiers received instruction on how 'inferior' Asian and European races were to be treated. Military personnel who violated these instructions were severely punished is nonsense. Since when did Japanese society, especially the military, need eugenics to promote a world-view based on racial superiority? Instead, the theory of eugenics and social Darwinism worked well within a social system that already fostered such a view. Bottom line: moving this to Eugenics will get this content the cleanup it desperately needs. (My comment is based on the Revision of 10:15, 27 September 2005.) Dottore So 17:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment I still stand by my nomination, and while the article is much less of a mess than it was, my reasons for the nomination included the lack of references, the vague information, and the poorly phrased article title. As I did indeed say, the topic is notable and article-worthy, but it would be better to have a one sentence stub than a badly titled, vague, sloppy article. Sure, I could have added the cleanup tag and forgotten about it, but in my opinion it's better to start from scratch. Hey, look, there is potential for an excellent article about the topic, but let's do it right, eh? (Note: I was going to follow Neutrality's suggestion and create the article Eugenics in imperial Japan, but I was unsure as to what the article itself should consist of.)

- Will you vote to delete an article, not nominated here for lack of references, before requesting that references be supplied? (NB it is easier to get sound references for Nazi Germany, say, on a given point, by a factor of about 100.) Charles Matthews
- Hi Charles. I did not want to vote, because I have no detailed knowledge about japanese war crimes.

[edit] Cuisine of Kentucky

This article is offensive, not factual, contains no useful information poorly written. Not suitable for Wikipedia. (preceding unsigned comment by 71.28.250.92 (talk • contribs) )

Comment. Completed badly formed AfD by adding section header to this page and adding AfD template to article in question. No opinion. --GraemeL ^(talk)

This page contains non factual and insulting text regarding the diet of a specific state. The tone is in itself derogatory. The article states that Kentucky consumption of White Castles is the highest in the nation. There are only White Castles in 3 cities in the state and the states population is over 4 million. Burgoo ( which I had never heard of) is served in Owensburg and I had to get that off the internet. It may contain some truth but it still has a derogatory tone to it. Also is this article suitable to Wikipedia? If there is an article concerning this states presumed diet then wouldn't there have to an aricle concerning every states cuisine?Dakota 22:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. More tidy up. Two AfD sub-pages were created one for the article, and one for a redirect to the article. Above comment transposed from the redirect one here. --GraemeL ^(talk) 23:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep, assuming that the material is verifiable. The innacurately-named "Sources" section is just a link to an annoying recipe site. The article is, however, linked to from Cuisine of the United States and Kentucky, which is some evidence that some people think that Kentucky's food is interesting enough to read about. Of course, if Kentucky does not have its own cuisine, one could merge any verifiable information into Kentucky's History section, KFC, etc. Jkelly 23:20, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep; cuisine of any country or major region of a country is encyclopedic. If the article's biased or not factual, just fix it so that it is neutral and correct; lack of neutrality is not a reason for deletion. --Idont Havaname 05:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment on purported native

The article as I first found has changed greatly. The original was different in title and tone. I am not a "purported native" of Kentucky. I am not from Kentucky but have lived here 5 years. I am the one who ask for that deletion. I just don't think it is worth time spent for pursuit.

This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. Apparently it's about Mutulu Shakur, but I'm not sure whether a redirect would be useful; while we usually don't redirect from given names, this one's fairly uncommon. —Cryptic (talk) 22:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Myomer

I feel this is too trivial for an article. also it's about a fictional thing. so Delete Idleguy 10:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. If this is kept, it obviously needs to get edited to conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style, in the use of complete sentences and highlighting of the title phrase at its first appearance. Michael Hardy 00:00, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. Should be merged or at least redirected to an appropriate Battletech article. —Cryptic (talk) 22:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Posse of One albums

This nomination applies to Mario Days - 2005, Rural Legends - 2005, and Stone Age: Dec 04 - July 05 - 2005, all of which are albums by Posse of One, whose article was deleted recently in VFD. The other albums are already up for deletion individually so this should be the last of them. --TheMidnighters 17:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm re-opening and relisting this, as the afd nomination was for the albums, not the redlink that used to be in the article header. Delete all. —Cryptic (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
At least one of these albums (EPs, really) is claimed to be "a minor underground hit." Delete unless evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC is found, which apparently won't be the case in light of the artist's VfD. Barno 19:31, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was KEEP. With the research done after the initial participators, and the discounting of the redlinked user, this is a keep rather than a no consensus. -Splash^talk 23:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Iturf

Article created clearly to advertise the MSN Group and to be honest I don't believe all the history about the web site being changed over to an MSN Group. Not enough effort put into article either, so in my opinion it should be deleted. Thorpe ^talk 22:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Relisted on October 4, no votes other than the nominator. No vote. Ral 315 W_S 02:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete Is this really notable enough to be listed? If it was a failed company then it obviously was not notable enough in the eyes of the public to remain in business. will381796 03:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Not only is this real - see[26] - but it played an incredibly major role in the creation of SparkNotes - see [27] - one of the most notable internet creations. It in and of itself is also notable due to it's status as a remnant of one of the more notable internet ventures, from which remnants never come - it's alwyas hit or miss. CastAStone 03:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete, it failed because not many people used it. Flops typically have to be spectacular and very expensive to be notable, like Battlefield Earth. -- Kjkolb 04:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's not accurate. It failed because it didn't make it's parent company, dElias clothing, any money. It continued to exist, however, because of its popularity. --] CastAStone17:37, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I'm not sure that some of the users moving to MSN groups would count as surviving. Anyway, they were only getting 65,000 visitors a month when they were at their original site. What do they get now? Also, how many members do they have? -- Kjkolb 07:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Ad. utcursch | talk 11:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, media coverage indicates adequate notability. Kappa 14:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep though I'd like to see the article cleaned up to focus more on it's actual subject instead of the memorial group that followed it. As it is currently it's just as silly as having an article on Jim Morrison with two pages about his tombstone but only a paragraph about his life. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep as per Kappa PMLF 20:14, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
