[edit] Principality of Marlborough

A micronaiton that existed for a week? You have to be kidding. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 00:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete this is just silly. Vanity really. --Ardenn 00:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Move to List of minor micronations if consensus is behind creating this page. Otherwise, Abstain. --Billpg 00:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep sufficiently notable to have been mentioned in real-world media coverage, even if it was short lived. Does not qualify as vanity as none of the principals are involved in wikipedia. Georgewilliamherbert 00:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Rockhampton, Queensland, or delete. youngamerican (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination FCYTravis 01:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, just nonsense. A guy had a dispute with the police. Decides he must be an independent country. Police cart him away. --kingboyk 01:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Important piece of Australian social history, and received wide national media coverage at the time. Being the subject of a paper about political history by a student at a major university certainly underscores this notability. --Centauri 02:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Conflict with .gov, attempt to secede, .gov intervention to quell secession and sedition. Short-lived, but worth documenting. This is a level of real-world involvement that most micronations don't achieve; if it was just some guy seceding until he got tired of it, it'd be another story. Adrian Lamo · 03:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Are you saying that every single individual council tax and poll tax refusenik in Britain should have an article? Or should it only be those who have been prosecuted for failing to pay? That's still a lot of people! - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 09:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Jonathunder 03:15, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per AdrianLamo. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC) OK, vote withdrawn per Capitalroadster's corrections. I'm not convinced of non-notability, it might still be a notable incident if not a notable micronation if you see my point, but not being Australian I don't really have any way to evaluate how notable it was as an incident. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It wasn't a conflict with Government. It was a court case against the Commonwealth Bank which he left. 265 Google hits many from Wikipedia mirrors. No mention in books on Google books database see [3]

One Google scholar reference outlined above. A search of Australian New Zealand newspaper database came up empty. Not notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 03:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Empty? What database are you looking at? There's no less than 5 articles in the Sydney Morning Herald for starters. --Centauri 04:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

"Less than a week after the proclamation of independence, officers of the Queensland Police entered the Principality and forcibly evicted the Muirheads" is what I cite as the conflict -- technically, an armed incursion to a seceding state, albeit a very minor one. Adrian Lamo ·· 05:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

No, not technically an armed incursion into a seceding state, because the secession had no legal basis. It was just one guy protesting. They are, as my American friends say, a dime a dozen. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 09:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Capitalistroadster. Kusma (討論) 04:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC) +
• Keep - Centauri got it right --HasNoClue 04:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - There's enough worthy information here to be worth keeping but probably not as an article in its own right. Either merge to main Micronations article or to Queensland perhaps? ++Lar: t/c 05:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 03:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)". Capitalistroadster 03:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Enough information to make for internesting reading. Relevant to anyone following history of micro-nations in Australia. Cnwb 06:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable micronation. Lasting for a week???? This must be a joke, send it to BJAODN if you wish. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 06:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - as per User:Georgewilliamherbert, although I'd prefer a media source, rather than a university essay. --djrobgordon 07:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Great idea. I've added 5 media references to the article. --Centauri 07:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It occurs to me, by the way, that this listing might have been appropriate for the new Wikipedia:Proposed deletion experiment. Rather than go into a longwinded and acrimonious debate, those wishing to keep the article on the grounds of extensive media coverage would simply have added the references (as User:Centauri has done in this instance) and then removed the tag. --Tony Sidaway 14:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Where can we see articles that have been proposed for deletion? Capitalistroadster 23:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, this was a major news story at the time. Lankiveil 22:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC).
• Keep: another instance of the afd nominator not personally caring about a given topic and therefore concluding that surely no one else could be.--Hraefen 23:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: notable, and just the type of obscure thing that WP should have articles on - it cant be deleted just because some don't find it interesting. SFC9394 23:53, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A week-long publicity stunt/legal ploy/delusion of grandeur, even one that made the papers at the time, is too ridiculously trivial for an article. --Calton | Talk 00:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete A very short lived attempt to keep the baliffs out.--Porturology 03:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Just zis  Guy, you know? I think is on some sort of witch-hunt without a good enough reason, these micronations do in fact exist and are notable. Just because it does not coincide with our personal views does not mean it should be defined. Piecraft 18:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

That's unadulterated, 100% pure rubbish. The nomination is in perfectly good faith, and while you may disagree with him about whether to delete or not, the fact is that there are certainly grounds to declare this unnotable and unsuitable for encyclopedic treatment. To wit: Delete. Eusebeus 19:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

You are right. I went through a lot of the micronations and left most of them alone. This is not a "micronation", it's a short-lived and highly unsuccessful protest, combined with a minor publicity stunt. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 21:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable enough as a news event, somewhat interesting.--ragesoss 22:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Engineering Students' Society - University of Alberta

Every university has one of these, it's not particularly notable. Vanity. Delete --Ardenn 00:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, with the side note that I'm rather mystified by the neverending profusion of engineering student society articles. These things just are not inherently notable — even being the oldest one in its province doesn't particularly matter, because when you're talking about something that doesn't ordinarily belong in an encyclopedia in the first place, being the oldest example of that unencyclopedic thing is still pretty damn unencyclopedic. Bearcat 08:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Per Bearcat. Universities are notable. National clubs are notable. But local clubs or branches of clubs, particularly this sort that are only for students, are not notable. A few sentences can be added to the main university page.Obina 11:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

24 fancruft. I like the show too, but there is no indication this particular term is used in the real world, nor does the article give any. Nor do I think it could. Daniel Case 21:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki: except now it is, as an inside joke for 24 fans on the Internet. Google for "flank 2 position" and "flank two position" and you will find many references, including several uses by famous columnist Dave Barry. Transwiki to wiktionary. Calwatch 22:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese intelligence activity in other countries

An article which can only contain speculations. The subject of Chinese foreign intelligence is covered in Ministry of State Security – Ezeu 00:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Because the article itself says, "These claims are provided by defecting Chinese officials and they may not be reliable." Ruby 00:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • If that is the standard then the bulk of articles like Human rights in North Korea would have to go as well. A body of reports from defectors is notable, especially when there is evidence to back them up, such as pending criminal cases against accused spies.--ThreeAnswers 01:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• • An analogy: some people get their information about Catholicism from ex-Catholics, and you end up with what is possibly bad information from people with an axe to grind. If the only source of information about Catholicism was from ex-Catholics (as it would also be in this article and the case you mentioned), then it would be better for Wikipedia not to accept the information rather than accept tainted information. Ruby 04:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete keep. Could be better written. Royboycrashfan 01:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep -article as it currently stands contains nothing worth reading but that doesn't mean it 'can only' contain speculation. There's plenty of evidence for CIA activity outside the US, for example. It wouldn't be hard for an inclined editor to turn some mainstream news coverage of Chinese spying into a proper article. -- Aim Here 01:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as article contains nothing but speculation and is totally non-encyclopedic. Just because a topic has potential to have an encyclopedic article written about it, that in itself is crystal balling. In the meantime, this fails all the wiki tests and has to go. ++Deiz 02:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep. I've re-written the article and provided a number of sources, and internal links to Katrina Leung and the falsely accused Wen Ho Lee. I just can't see Wikipedia not having an article about this topic, considering the alleged scope of activity.--ThreeAnswers 07:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment It is hard to see how a page such as this can rise above the level of rumour, speculation or misinformation. Since no verification from interested parties is possible, how can it be useful for purposes of research?  (aeropagitica)  08:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• The policy is that Wikipedia is not a mere collection of weblinks. They're all directly relevant to the content of the article and published by reputable sources.

This is not junk, but if it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, say so. The author probably took an hour to write it, you hopefully took a minute to read it, and I suggest it's worth 15 seconds to give a real reason for deletion instead of just insulting the author, who contributed in good faith. ×Meegs 18:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete above comment is far too kind. 15 seconds is all it takes to see that this falls into WP:NOT. Definitely doesn't belong on WP - tells of books which only exist in author's mind. Camillus (talk) 01:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northwestern Mutual - Louisville and related articles

Delete per Chains and Franchises of WP:CORP. This page does not provide any useful corporate information, and is more of an advertisement for a specific NML office. If this were acceptable, then there would be pages on every single branch office that is a part of NML (or of any company for that matter), which is wholly unnecessary. Kinu 01:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Addendum: Apparently there are many such articles, such as The Bohannon Group, The Stewart Financial Group, Theodore Financial Group, The Waltos Group, The Effner Financial Group, The Columns Resource Group... and they've been created/edited by the same people, most recently 38.192.2.179 (see his/her contributions page). It would not surprise me if this was a person merely interested in increasing NML's presence on Wikipedia through these "spamvertisement" means. These are simply local insurance offices with no relevance to NML corporate; while adding information about NML as a corporation would be helpful on their main page, these are local agent offices, and information on them would be better off deleted than merged. (After all, imagine having a list of every Allstate agent on their page... yikes!) --Kinu 02:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually, McTigue Financial Group should be a part of this group of AfDs, as that is another one of those local branch offices/franchisees as defined above, and not a company acquired by NML.

• Keep Naturally I'd advocate keeping this as I wrote it, but I do have some logical reasons i'd like to share: 1) This most certainly isn't an advert as I don't have any connection with the group whatsoever other than having taken advantage of their trial. 2) The group is a significant news provider to the financial world in the London and NY markets, as and such merits mention as a journalistic group. 3) It's of interest as a wholly web-based news group, as an example of the move of such niche journals towards the net and away from classic hard-copy publishing. 4) Its syndication in notable traditional news sources (eg WSJ, Sunday Telegraph) vouches for its quality above "specialised news ticker" status. 5) Verifiable information is available to support the statements made in the article, and nothing vague or unsupportable has been written. 6) Finally, any such article about any news journal might be considered promotional if this one is to be deleted. How can the articles on The Week, Arena (magazine), The Face, or Heat (magazine) be justified? None of these articles provide a comparable level of impartiality (The Week: "witty, smart, and nonpartisan"), represent journals with significant links to other fields (finance), or relate to an unusual or atypical publication (Heat, the Face and all other glossies and lads mags are essentially identical and trivial and perhaps do not merit seperate description). Upon re-reading the article, I can see how it might seem like an advert, becuase I stuck only to facts I could find, and included no commentary of my own. But that's an argument for edits and revisions, not deletion. Those were my reasons for starting the article, and they are my reasons for voting to Keep it. --Corinthian 02:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Independent Baptist College

This is an ad for Baptist schools and is unencyclopedic. Any relevant data should be merged with Independent Baptist, otherwise it is not neccessary to promote Baptist schools and explain that Baptist schools deal with Baptist beliefs. Of course, if you get a strictly Baptist education at a Baptist college, your career oppotunities are going to be limited to the Baptist ministry; no need to have an article listing schools to explain that. Unless more information is added to make this article informative, it should be deleted. Arbustoo 03:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 22:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: The nominated article does not read like an ad. It describes post-secondary education related to a "denomination", similar (though not identical) to a Jesuit education. See Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. —ERcheck @ 22:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

No, it does not describe "post-secondary education related to a denomination." In fact, if you read it carefully "independent Baptist" simply means "independent" of main Bapitist ministry. Therefore, this article encompasses any broad Christian/fundamentalist/Baptist, as the article notes with "Bob Jones University"-- which is not Baptist. The Jesuit education article is a good one that describes a particular denomination. This article does not describe a denomination. My assertation is that the article is so broad it is worthlessly undescriptive since "independent" Baptist is NOT a denomination. The Jesuit article is perfect criteria to follow and this article falls far short of that. Arbustoo 04:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment on clean up edits: Logophile, your edits are exactly why this is nominated. You reinserted the Bob Jones University claim. BJU is not Baptist. BJU is fundamentalist Christian, which can encompass Baptists, but the school doesn't strictly profess to be Baptist, let alone "independent Baptist."

  • A Bible college is different than the Independent Baptist Colleges. A Bible college generally would have a much narrower curriculum, with more specific training for ministerial careers. The colleges described in this article, while preparing most for ministerial careers, may offer a broader education, providing a independent Baptist setting and also providing other areas of study - for example Tennessee Temple University offers a majors in biology and in mathematics. —ERcheck @ 22:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Where are you getting this information? Melchoir 23:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment not meant to be controversial. I did a review of some of Bible colleges offerings of majors and then offerings of of independent Baptist colleges (IBC). Some of the IBCs are "Bible" colleges, while some have more general offerings. Point was that there is a difference. Some IBC are Bible colleges, while some are not. The "Bible colleges" terminology that I am referencing is that being used in the Wikipedia article Bible college. —ERcheck @ 00:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I find no evidence on Google that such a thing as an "Independent Baptist College" even exists. You seem to have information I'm not aware of, and I'm genuinely curious. How do you determine what is an IBC and what isn't? Is it your personal judgement or what? Melchoir 01:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
          • I did a Google search on <Independent Baptist College>. The third entry was http://bn66.com/churches/schools.html. Google search on <Independent Baptist> provides a number of sites with links. —ERcheck @ 01:37, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
            • See, my problem is, I've clicked on a bunch of those links, and most of the schools do not identify themselves as "independent" anything. West Coast and Crown do call themselves "Independent Baptist College", but how do we know what that means to them? With the AJCU there's a verifiable thread connecting the schools; here, I see no such tool. Without some kind of secondary literature specifically addressing Independent Baptist Colleges, I don't see how we can write an article here. Melchoir 01:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Adrian, it's even worse than that, this article is mostly not even wrong. I just added a critique of the first half of the article to the talk page. Every single sentence is nonsensical or in a few cases makes an identifiably incorrect claim. Please see the list--- it is really amazing. This is without question one of the absolute worst articles I have seen in the WP since I got here in late May 2005.

You said there's no reason to delete an article [simply] for repeating other concepts and of course I agree, but that's not the point.

We want WP to be useful to our readers, don't we? I should hope so! ---CH 21:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your sentiments but all I'm seeing is bad editing. There is a term "hyperspace" in common parlance and Wikipedia needs a factual article on it; if what's there isn't right at all, then it needs fixing, not deletion. --AlexWCovington (talk) 01:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Unless the references are all not true or say something different. It seems this hyperspace may have been original research by the authors quoted, but that makes it not OR by this author. This is fine to condense for an article here. If this theory is not true, and dramatically not supported by mainstream physics, then this article can be modified to present a more balanced view.

It's some of the worst gobbledygook I've ever seen. ---CH 22:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Obina's comments. If the nominator (or anyone else) can provide proof the article is a hoax, then it should be fixed or the appropriate tags added to the article. Agreed the presence of references makes this not original research, but rather the same type of condensing that has been done on other wiki-articles about science.23skidoo 04:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I can't prove it's a hoax, of course. I can prove it's gobbledygook. But that's not really my task; if you doubt my word you should read other articles in the WP, or better yet the widely used book by Taylor & Wheeler, Spacetime physics, to familiarize yourself with how real physicists discuss the concepts the author of this article claims to describe. Please reconsider your vote.---CH 22:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, that's not enough to justify deletion since there is no proof of bad faith. Correction, maybe, but not deletion. I don't have time to go hunting through books. If you believe this is gobbledygook then replace the offending content with something that is not gobbledygook -- you seem familiar with the above book, so I would start with that. I do agree with Agateller, below, that perhaps a renaming of the article is in order and change Hyperspace itself to a disambiguation page that leads to this article and to the science fiction concept. The fact that there may allegedly be factual errors in this article is not grounds for deletion. That's the same as saying the article on Angelina Jolie should be deleted because someone erroneously stated that she was the first woman to walk on the moon. If it's wrong, be bold and correct it -- but be prepared to defend your corrections with sources, is all. 23skidoo 01:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, because the disambiguation page is a notable improvement too many people say that they don't understand the article. Not understanding it isn't the same as proving it's a hoax. Unless someone can examine it point by point and demonstrate provable inconsistencies that show it to be entirely made-up, it should stay. However, I don't think it should be the article that comes up by default when someone looks for "hyperspace," as most people are probably looking for the science-fiction concept, and not an essay on physics.

• Abstain - The references are legit (I've met Cliff Pickover) but may not apply. What's needed is explication of why "this miserable production" (a pejorative term for someone's work, let's WP:AGF please) is so miserable. Or, alternatively, an expert opinion (from a physicist) on whether there is merit to the article. What I find concerning is that CH gives the appearance of being on a personal vendetta against this article. The comments on the talk page are not very friendly and the followup to every comment here is disconcerting. (the equations seem legit as far as they go but don't seem to explain much about how one would do anything useful with hyperspace). If this article is kept, I suggest that the disambig be reversed to make the article currently at hyperspace (science fiction) the proimary one, and have it point here. ++Lar: t/c 23:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Lar, the references are to popular works. I mentioned in my allegedly "unfriendly" (I'd say frustrated and apalled) comments that the term hyperspace is applied in popular writings by some authors who also write legit scientific papers. If you're not willing to take my word for it, why not ask Pickover? I'd be astonished if he did not agree with my critiques in the talk page. As for "personal vendetta", I don't know who (plural) wrote that article, so it can't be personal. In fact, my motivations are concern for reader who come here seeking an encyclopedia. See for example Forum for Encyclopedic Standards.---CH 23:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

After the redo of the article into a disambig, and the cutting of the equations lifted out of context from Special Relativity I change my vote comment to Keep. The article now no longer needs expert review (which would have been redundant effort since Special Relativity is a much better article). ++Lar: t/c 02:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Change Vote to Delete After being urged to reconsider, I researched hyperspace. I had always belived that since so many pieces of fiction used it, I must have something to do with real life.

• Keep and completly remodel. Hyperspace is a common ennough concept to need a page. However current revision is mostly a cut and past job from Special relativity.

If that ever changes, it can be turned back into a disambiguation page.--Christopher Thomas 04:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete (sic) I am one of the few scientists actually interested in hyperspace, and this article is little more than rubbish.

Most basic concepts are not really mentioned, there are key errors, and the article doesn’t even contain the extremely useful “hyperspace” refutation of general relativity.

Hyper dimensionality and hyperspace are generally opposites, dimensional collapse (into 3 dimensions) is not mentioned, curved verses flat hyperspaces are not mentioned, “sub-space” theories are not mentioned.

And of course there are none of the big arguments in favour of HS either, like the unification of the macro and quantum worlds, or the solution to the various problems with gravity.

Wikipedia would have to be very brave to have a real article on the subject anyway, and not only because it would upset a lot of scientists. This stuff was all once part of everyday science in the 1950’s, but men with short haircuts in black suits came along and it all disappeared.

Incidentally the correct category for an article on hyperspace is surely “speculative science” - the same category as gravity engines, cold fusion, time travel, over unity machines, “intelligent” design, and (the other theory I have been working on for 15 years) - Strong AI.

[edit] List of independent Baptist colleges

Small list of schools linked to external sources, which are already available at List of Bible colleges and Category:Seminaries and theological colleges, which makes this redundant. Plus there is a separate article for Bible college. There is no need to have these articles, which have the same material. Arbustoo 03:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Arbustoo 03:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Pretty redundant given the category and list mentioned by the nominator, and hardly expandable to something worth keeping. --Kinu 03:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with the caveat that we replace the external links with red links. Nine of the school have Wikipedia articles. The content of this list isn't covered by List of Bible colleges because that list doesn't not the denomination a particular school is affiliated with. The same holds true with Category:Seminaries and theological colleges. I could be convinced to delete if a category was created, in the vein of Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges in the United States.

They are already listed by religious criteria twice over and in other ways too. Also it is "independent" Baptist, which is different than "Baptist." Should all different Baptists get separate lists too? Arbustoo 09:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Ardenn 08:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Even though there is a category for Jesuit colleges and universities in the US, there is also a List of Jesuit universities in the United States, which lists by state. Independent Baptist is different that Baptist as Jesuit is different that Roman Catholic. —ERcheck @ 22:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: ERCheck registered February 3rd. Arbustoo 02:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Arbustoo - I don't know what your point is in the above comment. But, in fact, I registered in October 2005. It is "ERcheck", not ERCheck (which is not a registered user name). You registered in January 2006. How is that relevant to this AfD? —ERcheck @ 02:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I read the wrong article entry. As for your claim; a "Jesuit school" entails a easily defined group. Indepedent Baptists are not a particular sect, but simply have no affliation. The analogy you put forth does not hold water. As for "Independent Baptist is different that Baptist as Jesuit is different that Roman Catholic," you might want to re-read what an independent Baptist is. A Jesuit is a denomination. Catholic is a denomination. Baptist is a denomination. An indepedent Baptist is still a Baptist, just one that does not have ties to the main organization. That is why this list is AfD. Arbustoo 04:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• • The Jesuits (Society of Jesus) are actually a religious order within the Catholic Church.--Porturology 10:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I understand from Independent Baptist that independent baptists do not belong to a denomination but are 'self declared'. This makes such a list inherently NPOV. The Jesuits are a religious order and easily definable.--Porturology 03:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. While the Independent Baptists claim not to belong to a denomination, they do in fact have characteristics in common and behave much like a denomination. This group of colleges is part of what holds them together. Having a separate list like this is useful information. See also Church of God (Anderson) for another group that claims not to be a denomination. H2O 20:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

A few comments about accreditation. I don't think it is relevant one way or another that many of these schools are not accredited. They are religious schools. Many religious schools choose not to go through the accreditation process, because they wish to remain independent, not necessarily because they are diploma mills. This group of Baptists is VERY independent, so it is not surprising that these schools are not accredited. Even for them to join the Southern Baptist Convention would be for them a form of compromise. H2O 00:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

See World Baptist Fellowship. (by the way, their Arlington Baptist College, IS accredited) The articles do need improvement, but not deletion. H2O 00:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I checked on its accreditation status, and can't find any evidence of accreditation (which may be defective searchign skills or not). I suspect that this mix of redlinks, weblinks and wikilinks is part of the Southern Baptist walled garden.

[edit] Walter Donald Kring, PHD, Herman Melville's Religious Journey

This person is listed as the author of several books, but of the two where the publisher isn't listed as unknown, one is a church, and one is "Pentland Press". If that's Pentland Press, Inc. of North Carolina (there was apparently a UK publisher named Pentland Press that went into liquidation) the only information I can find about the publisher is its imprint Ivy House, which describes its "mission" as "to offer an investment-based program, whereby an author has every chance of financial recuperation. You would fully invest in the first edition of the publication."[10] I'm sure this was written by someone who thought Dr. Kring was a wonderful person, and you know what? I'm sure they were right, I'm sure he was a great guy. But being a great guy, and being notable enough to merit an entry in an encyclopedic, are different things. If the greatest claim to the subject's encyclopedic notability is having some books privately printed, which it currently appears to be, that's not really enough. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I have added the author's book, Herman Melville's Religious Journey. It is indeed published by the known vanity publisher Pentland Press, NC, there is no indication that its theses were ever recognized anywhere, and for what it's worth, its Amazon sales rank is 1,504,475. Pilatus 14:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• The book gave never before seen insight into the the Religion of Herman Melville, and also has documented proof that Herman Melville was beating his wife. There are records and letter from Herman Melville's wife to Henry Whitney Bellows. Zothip 10:00, 4 February 2006

• His claim to fame is also in his pottery which was shown at the World's fair, and for the 'Kring Red' Glaze he invented as well as his work on Hermen Melville. He was a Minister for most his life and was in the Navy during 2 major battles as a Chaplain. I will edit the wiki when I can get more information. I also have alot of his books he published here, that I will need to dig out to get the ISBN and publisher, the information on the wiki now is just what I could find on web. Thank you for the book information, I will update his complete works ASAP and I agree that his published works should be at the bottom of the page. This is my first page I have done, so some help would be appreciated. He was also involved with the 'Timothy Leary Acid Tests'. I will need to get information about this, but he also had some influence in the NYC area regarding 'Malcom X' and the 'Black Panther' movement of the 60's. I also have the audio version of his funeral service on MP3. Zothip

• Comment. The above post is by Zothip, the author of the page in question. Please sign your comments (four tildes). Also, there is nothing rude about the nominator's comments, IMHO. He simply pointed out that, while the subject may be a decent human being who had an impact on the lives of some, the information is not worthy of encyclopedic entry here at Wikipedia. (As per my vote above, I agree. I must also point out that the additional information you provided above does not make it more so, either.) --Kinu 07:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Temporary Keep in the spirit of WP:BITE. I doubt this is ever going to be an acceptable article, but it's possible, and someone can always renominate it in a month. If the guy really worked with Malcom X and the Panthers he may be notable. --djrobgordon 08:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• If this article is removed, then you may want to remove Herman Melville's page as well. - Zothip
  • Why? Herman Melville is encyclopedically notable; there is little question about that. But notability is not transitive; one does not automatically become notable just by writing about Melville. Also, in regards to your now-removed statement that you would like to tell me "where to go shove it!" I will say two things: first of all, how in your mind would it be possible for anyone to raise any question about whether this person is encyclopedically notable, without you assuming that the question is so "rude" that it fully justifies you being so very rude in return? secondly, please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks; if you intend to stay and contribute to Wikipedia, you will have to do so in a manner befitting a mature adult. No, merely saying "I would like to attack you with rude anatomical insults" is not a way around this rule. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Herman Melville had Religion and was a Unitarian: Herman_Melville#Religion Furthermore, for you to say that "was written by someone who thought Dr. Kring was a wonderful person, and you know what?" is attacking him and me. So maybe you should read the policy. Zothip 2:56, 4 February 2006

I'm sure they were right, I'm sure he was a great guy." So, yes! Black is white, up is down, freedom is slavery, and calling someone a wonderful person is attacking them!

[edit] Whidden Hall

Vanity, nn. Delete Ardenn 04:12, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

ATTENTION! If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page or group of pages is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes. You can participate and give your opinion. Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing! Note: Comments made by suspected single purpose accounts can be tagged using {{subst:spa|username|UTC timestamp [optional]}}

• Keep and Expand Whidden Hall is a real place with real characteristics with a real reason to be in Wikipedia. There are many more frivilous entries than this genuine residence hall. Please remove the delete tag, it has every reason to be included in this site.Steelium 16:57, 7 February 2006(UTC)
• Keep That is the most ridiculous reason ever. Whidden Hall is a genuine residence at McMaster University. I can see nothing wrong with it. The information is factual and accurate. I don't see why I even have to dignify the removal of AFD tag. 24.57.131.18 04:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. I'm not sure how the residence system is set up at McMaster, but if they are set up in a manner such as the colleges/houses systems of Yale, Harvard, Cambridge, or Oxford, I would support keeping and adding more information on the page. --Kinu 05:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Delete. After further review, an article on Whidden does not really meet the criterion for keeping. It's not particularly notable in the sense that it is a "house" or "college" in the Yale/Harvard/Cambridge/Oxford model... it is essentially just a dorm. Most colleges have them, and they are not noteworthy in and of themselves. (After all, why keep this and not Chaparral Village and Chisholm Hall?) Further, the information provided is trivia at best. --Kinu 02:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• delete Non notable hall of residence. Ok to add the factual info to the university page but much of this is unsourced opinion so full merge not indicated.Obina 00:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• OH PLEASE..you don't have to be that anal. The consensus is TO KEEP IT since nobody knows anything about it you have no right to delete it either. My question to you is how is it considered as unencyclopedic? It has accurate facts which all encyclopedias should. Now all points are supported by evidence. How can you judge it as "trivia"? are you familiar with the topic at hand? If it is trivia, its only because it is written in that way, if so re-write the article, EXPAND not delete. 24.57.131.18

• Keep. Good article on this dorm. Famous residents and interesting tie-in with Animal House. -- JJay 02:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment1 All the opposition is coming from power hungry wikipedian editors who have no outside life, but somehow yeild ultimate influence on trivial matters such as this and need to make decisions here to make up for the lack of say they have in thier own lives. Steelium
• Comment2 The above warning, that suggests people are being "puppeted" into supporting this page is an unfair advantage to the delete side of the debate, I suggest it be removed. Or the non-deletionists present be allowed to post a similar banner supporting their side. Steelium
• Comment3 I have posted valid reasons for keeping the article, I have referenced the details in question and made attempts to have the page fit the standard. At no point have the deletionists listed more than one-word reasons to delete. Support Summarized: 1) Real place at top three University in Canada 2) 1000s of people have lived there 3) at least 2 famous people are associated with the building 4) Building has 45 year history 5) major movie satirizing contemporary North American college life was inspired by events at this Hall 6) There are FAR more articles that should be recieving more attention for deletion than this one, this article is pretty innocuous. The Hall is not obscure, nor "non-noteable" and passes multiple so-called Wikipedian tests of relevancy. Steelium
• Comment4 I contend that the users suggesting deletion, either have nothing better to do or are alumni or current students at competing universities. Steelium

• I've left a brief, 450 word reply on your talk page. I hope it helps. Adrian Lamo ·· 04:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Most dormitories are non-notable. The claim in this article that life at this dormitory inspired the movie National Lampoon's Animal House is questionable, given that none of the three writers of the movie attended this university -- only one of the producers did, and he didn't even live in this dormitory according to this article. The only source for the dormitory having inspired the movie is that an article in the college newspaper says it was "rumored" to have done so. --Metropolitan90 04:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Also, as to Steelium's earlier points: Comments 1 and 4 are irrelevant and seem like violations of the Wikipedia rules about not engaging in ad hominem attakcs. As for Comment 2, are you advocating the censorship of comments regarding possible meatpuppetry/sockpuppetry/stuffing? Let people look at the evidence and decide for themselves. Now as to Comment 3: "Real place at top three University in Canada" - so? by this standard we would have literally hundreds of building and dorms that would need to be added. "1000s of people have lived there" - same problem as before. "at least 2 famous people are associated with the building" - again, hardly a big deal, and while John Candy may be the famous, the other individual is not at all. "major movie satirizing contemporary North American college life was inspired by events at this Hall" - This has already been dealt with by Metropolitan90, so let me just add that many colleges and dorms at colleges claim to be inspiration for animal house. " Building has 45 year history" - 45 years is hardly a long enough time to contribute to noteworthiness. "There are FAR more articles that should be recieving more attention for deletion than this one, this article is pretty innocuous" - this is simply irrelevant. If there are articles you feel should be deleted then nominate them (please however refrain from engaging in revenge AfD, they are seriously frowned upon). JoshuaZ 05:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as there is no solid evidence that it is the inspiration for Animal House, and even if that were the case, it would only be worth a mention in the Animal House and/or McMaster University article. That a famous person, John Candy, lived there is not exceptional. Medium and large universities that have been around for a while are bound to have famous almuni who stayed in the dorms, but that does not confer notability them, or even much to the university. -- Kjkolb 05:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - articles such as this would be so much less troublesome if they were just redirected to the university to which they belong. I've rarely had my redirect of non-notable topic to related notable topic reverted. And AfD is always an option if it is. -- Jonel | Speak 05:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Article is in reasonable shape with some sources. Would clog up main article. Capitalistroadster 05:46, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect and Merge with whatever Uni its a hall of residence of. Jcuk 08:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Damn ballot stuffers. — ciphergoth 10:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Halls of Residence, University Colleges are important places and there are many articles on WP about them. To those people who want to delete them, I ask you to be consistent. There are about 11 articles on Halls from this university alone. They have links from the main university page. This is just one. If it is worse than the others and it is indeed a poor article, it can be improved. If you want to delete all of them, then give reasons why Halls are not notable. I finally suggest that WP will be the poorer without good NPOV articles on Halls and Colleges so prospective students can look at them as an alternative to the POV articles from the university concerned. --Bduke 11:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong Delete I'd also vote to ban Steelium. It should be noted that on the IMDB site it clearly states that the insipration for Animal House came from "co-writer Chris Miller's experiences at Dartmouth College." Furthermore, the other co-writer, Harold Ramis brought his inspiration from his days at Washington University in St. Louis. Nice try guys, but this is a clearly non-notable dormitory at a less than notable university. It is not at all encyclopedic. 4.224.192.35 11:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, McMaster University is fairly long so probably shouldnt be merged -- Astrokey44|talk 12:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Individual dorms are not notable in and of themselves. Furthermore, the assertion that this dorm is notable has not been verified and remains a rumour.

[edit] LS Studio

Article on Ukranian "photography studio that created hundreds of thousands of photographic images (and hundreds of videos) of young teen and prepubescent girls, and sold them via the Internet from 2000 to 2004 in the form of approximately 80 issues or collections.While early collections often featured nude girls in natural poses, later collections also contained many images of girls in sexually suggestive poses." Prior to my edit, it contained a full explanation of each collection and links to the wayback Machine of the images." It was advertising with no explanation of why it was notable.

Capitalistroadster: Thank you for your attention to this article. Can you please answer two questions:

1. Why is it being considered for deletion?

2. Why do you consider the following sample of the previous content (that you removed) to "contain a full explanation of each collection" ...

During its operation, LS Studio maintained a talk forum, LS-Forum. The following sites were linked from that forum, as well as from their LS-Models index site:

• Keep I've restored the non-contested content, added many external sources, and Merged the content of LS Magazine into LS Studio, as agreed upon by the original authors. Zebruh 23:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable operation, and definitely not an "advertisement" since it doesn't even exist anymore. A few weeks ago I heard "ls magazine" mentioned on 4chan and then a pedophilia forum, and wanted to know what it was and whether it was legal without accessing it, so I came to Wikipedia and was enlightened. Useful. // paroxysm (n) 23:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I removed the content for two reasons. Firstly, we had complaints on the links giving access to child pornography. Secondly, Wikipedia is not a catalogue for child porn which the previous content was. Capitalistroadster 23:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• I have removed the catalogue from the article as discussed on the talk page. Wikipedia is not a catalogue for child porn. Capitalistroadster 23:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  News to me. // paroxysm (n) 00:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  More broadly WP:NOT a collection of external links or a web directory. But while WP is not censored for the protection of minors, we cannot be in the business of child pornography, period, from a legal standpoint even if you deny the ethical one. (ESkog)^(Talk) 00:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  What are you talking about? We define the operation, who made it, and how they got arrested, and then we list their productions. No different then having a list of movies produced by a defunct film company.

  I wasn't talking about the external links to alleged child pornography, which I would agree should be removed. // paroxysm (n) 00:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  I also agree that such links are not a good idea here. I had originally included the LS Forum and LS Models links to provide verifiability to the listed productions. Perhaps simply mentioning them without links in the intro paragraph (as has been the case) is sufficient.Zebruh 00:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• My objections are that outlining the productions would allow people to track down the material through mechanisms such as the Wayback Machine. It is particularly troublesome if links are provided so that people can track it down from the article. Unlike productions from a defunct moviehouse, this material is illegal and Wikipedia should not be seen to be promoting it in any way at all. Capitalistroadster 02:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  How would naming names allow people to track it down through the Wayback Machine? We document information -- that's not promoting it -- and that's that. Morals concerns are irrelevant to whether or not we should censor Wikipedia.

  By the way, if we list the productions of a movie house, people could potentially use that information to find the movies. Maybe I have moral concerns about that. Should I use that as justification to delete information from the article? // paroxysm (n) 02:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mikael Hopkins

This is a very long memorial, but having read it, the claim with the most significance is "He was particularly renowned for his annual Free House Box Social that would take place each year on the couple’s wedding anniversary (30th March)" which doesn't cut it in my book.

• Delete. His one claim to fame apparently was that he was a semi-professional cricketer for Shropshire in the 1960's. Cricinfo had nothing on him however and it has information on every professional cricketer that ever lived. The impression that this is a hoax is heightened by the fact that a Google search showed Mikael Hopkins as a student at the Oswestry School but in the class of 2003 not in the 1950s as claimed. [11]

Capitalistroadster 08:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I feel it only reasonable to defend the work that I have submitted. I can appreciate that it may be difficult to understand the significance of Mikael's life from the article whilst not being a resident of Oswestry. I can perhaps also see now that not enough emphasis was placed on his actual charity work, such as the organisations he set up and the events that he hosted. Given time, this article can be reworked and further research can be carried out to correct this. As for a Google search showing Mikael to be a graduate of Oswestry School in 2003 may simply be sheer coincidence. As for the lack of a listing on Cricinfo, it may be that Mikael was merely an amature as oppposed to a "semi-professional" as he claimed, again in that case more research is required. It seems as though the complaints you have with the entry can be fixed easily by the inclusion of some of the more significant achievements in Mikael's life and a correction of a few minor details. It can therefore be turned into a useful article for those even outside of the Shropshire area to benefit from. --Kesnel 12:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colin Carmichael

Non-notable. Google search for "Colin Carmichael" results in several Colin Carmichaels, none of whom seems to be the one referenced in this article. Google search for "'Colin Carmichael' Japan" still gives nothing that seems to be related to this Colin Carmichael. Hbackman 04:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

*Keep. He is notable in Kitakyushu which is where I happen to live. A local character and an important one in the foreign community I would say. By the way I started the article. The fact that there are other Colin Carmichaels in the world would suggest the need for a disambiguation page at some point in the future rather than outright deletion. --Historian 05:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC) withdrawn, deleted by --Historian 15:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

  • See, that action actually convinces me that he's NOT qualified for an article: if he's qualified for an article, the reasons are apparent: starting from the conclusion (he gets an article) and working to come up with a rationale for it is backwards. --Calton | Talk 05:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Above two comments deleted by User:Historian and restored User:Calton

• I thought he deserved an article so I started one. Are you saying there is something wrong with that? How do most articles get started on wikipedia? And is it somehow improper to modify the emphasis of an article after it has been started? --Historian 23:25, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• I thought he deserved an article so I started one. Right. That was your goal, and by your comments you've been searching for a rationalization for that conclusion. As I said precisely, backwards. Also, deleting the above comments leads me to question your sincerity. --Calton | Talk 01:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• OK, the reason I deleted my comment was that I wished to withdraw it. Then your comment would have been meaningless on its own, so I deleted that as well. You then reinstated the comments, which I really don't mind about. And if you are going to talk about a lack of sincerity, why do you persist in calling me Colin when I have already told you I am not he? --Historian 02:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Because it's rare to see this level of ego-tripping on behalf of others. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, so it must be...
• 'ego' means I (Latin) or "the self". It is therefore impossible to ego-trip on behalf of others. --Historian 11:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• In any case, if you're withdrawing comments, you strike them through, not hide them.
• And speaking of comments you're running away from, you still haven't explained the meaning of your comment on the CfD page, So far there is indeed only entry, but many more will follow in good time, and we all know where you live.

• Yawn. --Historian 08:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Elaborate but textbook case of WP:VANITY in action. An expat bar-owner in the provinces isn't particularly notable a priori. --Calton | Talk 02:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• "the provinces?" Hmmmm...Only one quarter of Japan's population lives in the Tokyo area, the rest live in the provinces, so you as a self-proclaimed Tokyo resident are in the minority. Life here in the boondocks is pretty good, actually. Are you saying that you might vote to keep the article if the subject was residing in Tokyo and therefore within your (rather limited) world-view? --Historian 07:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Only one quarter of Japan's population lives in the Tokyo area... That "only" is misplaced: a quarter of the entire country's population lives in one metropolitan area, which is, oh yeah, the nation's political and financial capital.

• Oh my dear chap (Calton I presume, though you didn't sign this comment). Nobody disputes that Tokyo is important, but only a quarter of Japan's population live there, as opposed to three quarters who don't. --Historian 23:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Reading apparently isn't your strong suit. Let's try again, with boldface for easier reading: That "only" is misplaced: a quarter of the entire country's population lives in one metropolitan area. Blithely repeating your misuse doesn't change that, Colin.

• For the second time, my name is not Colin. And I simply disagree about the use of the word "only". --Historian 02:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Your "disagreement" is not only fatuous, it's not even relevant. See the section below, which you apparently skipped. --Calton | Talk 07:03, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• No, Calton, my old mate, you are wrong there. I ignored it as being not worth the time or energy in a busy day.--Historian 07:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Some numbers: about 8% of Americans live in the New York City area, about 12% of Britons in Greater London, and about 18% of Canadians and French live in the Toronto and Paris metro regions. In Japan, the comparable figure is about 27%. So yes, "only a quarter" is a misuse.
• Hmmmm...let me see...did I make any reference to NYC, London, Toronto or Paris in my original statement? If not then I think you were reading rather too much between the lines. What kind of a copywriter are you? Obviously quite a creative one... --Historian 08:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Of course, since these are for the countries as a whole, it's a phony comparison: where you actually are, the actual place I referred to as "the provinces", not the country as whole as you (misleadingly) implied, Kitakyushu is about 0.8% of the population and Fukuoka about 4%. --Calton | Talk
• OK, Calton, since you are so keen for my comment on this, here's one. When you first used the term "the provinces" it was pretty clear that it referred to all of Japan outside Tokyo. Now you want it to mean only (if I'm still allowed to use this word!) Kitakyushu. If I may be permitted a soccer metaphor here (ha ha, how appropriate) I would say that is moving the goalposts, or making the goal much smaller if you prefer (that reminds me, our team could do with some bigger ones!). Oh, and I think you should clarify whether you mean Fukuoka prefecture or Fukuoka city in your last comment above. Presumably you mean that Fukuoka prefecture has 4% do you, because there is not such a great difference between the population of Fukuoka city (about 1.4 million) and Kitakyushu (just under one million in the recent national census.) --Historian 07:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Are you saying that you might vote to keep the article if the subject was residing in Tokyo. I wouldn't vote to keep articles on, say, small-time barmen, no matter where they lived. --Calton | Talk 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• I see. How about small-time copy-writers? And by the way the entry is not autobiographical, though I admit I do know the person who is described.--Historian 22:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Let me check...hmm, no, I don't see any vanity articles about any small-time copywriters based in Tokyo. Mind pointing me to one? Because I'd put in on AfD in a hot second. --Calton | Talk 01:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Do you mean VfD, Colin, sorry Calton? --Historian 02:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Let me look at the top of this page...hmmm...it seems to say "Articles for Deletion". Do you mean, perhaps, Volunteer Fire Department? Variable Frequency Drive? ? Why would I be adding vanity articles about small-time copywriters based in Tokyo (which you imply are lying thick upon the ground, though you've still not told me where) into, say, Vacuum fluorescent display? --Calton | Talk 07:03, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I've changed my vote. I thought it was a good idea at the time I started the entry, but it seems that it is vanity and inappropriate to wikipedia, or perceived as such by the majority, so that's fair enough. I can probably use this material elsewhere on the web anyway. Thank you everyone. I have learned from this rather bruising experience.--Historian 22:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you. That makes it 11-0 in favour of deletion if my arithmetic is correct.

• Don't Delete. I've seen plenty of other band's with demos listed. It's simply to show fans more then just their more popular albums. Sort of like band history. Is there any harm in keeping them? Also, this band is verifiable. Their most recent album was certified gold recently.--Boadrummer 4 February 2006

      • I don't understand why they can't be useful on the website. They're band history. Also, Avenged Sevenfold has 3 releases, one of which is on a major label, and the other two are on a fairly big major label, Hopeless Records. And, they have been on a major tour recently, infact, it is in the 2nd half of it. They will also be touring in Europe soon. http://www.avengedsevenfold.com -- Boadrummer
      • I support your decision, Perfecto. Looking at Category:Demo albums, the dearth of actual articles about demo albums doesn't lend credibility, in my opinion, to keep. Also, I would actually make an exception for Flyswatter (album) or Buddha (album) by blink-182, since they were actually released or at the least "leaked" to the public. A true demo, like the original two mentioned in this AfD, are in my opinion never released to the public. These true demo albums are better mentioned on a band's or artist's History sections. --Kinu 05:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kelmanson

It's difficult to tell what this page is about exactly. A famous family clan? Well, a google search of Ukraine and Kelmanson come back with 42 distinct hits, and scanning the hit summaries does not illuminate. This type of article is problematic. It's possible the subject is worthy of encyclopedia treatment, but we cannot know without our own specialized knowledge of the subject because the author has written it without the clarity to make any notability apparent. Fuhghettaboutit 05:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The purpose of this page is unclear from the content of the article. It seems less like a worthy entry and more like a "I can put make a page about my last name on Wikipedia!" deal (note: this is speculation on my part, since the author is an anonymous IP).

If you think they're not good criteria you could always work to improve them, right? ++Lar: t/c 06:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I didn't say they are or are not good criteria, I'm just pointing out we don't have a policy. --kingboyk 07:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• OK. But it sure read like you were casting aspersions in your first comment, especially since I used the term "suggested criteria" rather than "policy". Perhaps you'll want to be more careful in your wording going forward to avoid even the appearance of not assuming good faith. But more to the point, I'll repeat my implied question: do you think they're useful criteria or not? If not, you should comment on them, in the appropriate place, I think. If so, then don't you agree they suggest keep for this article, and several others you nominated? ++Lar: t/c 07:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I fail to see how gently pointing out they are not policy can be taken as not assuming good faith. I have absolutely no doubt about your good faith whatsoever; I trust you have no doubt in mine. To answer your question, I don't accept those recommendations as policy, hence my nomination. We've both had our say and I shall keep quiet on the issue now. --kingboyk 07:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'm interested to know how your 2 mutually exclusive positions on this matter can be reconciled with an assumption of good faith. --Centauri 07:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• I fear you've chosen to answer a question I did not ask. I didn't ask whether you accept them as policy, I asked if you think they're useful criteria. Not everything useful has to be policy. Mixing the two concepts up as you appear to have done, is what is, to my view anyway, giving the appearance of a lack of good faith, by appearing to cast aspersions on my use of them for invalid reasons (remember, I declaimed them as merely suggested criteria). I hope that clears up why I have concerns about the way you worded it, and apologise if not. ++Lar: t/c 07:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I apologise then. I've been up all night so failed to grasp your point. As for the criteria, no I don't agree with them in their entirety but I think they could be a useful starting point. I think debate on that issue ought to continue elsewhere. Again apologies for any misunderstanding, I don't want to fight over this, I really see no point in that. We are all here to improve Wikipedia, after all. --kingboyk 07:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - At this point, I agree with the proposed standards, and this article seems to meet them sufficiently at this time. Georgewilliamherbert 19:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• How does it meet numbers 1 and 2? All we have are references from the Sydney Morning Herald, a fine newspaper certainly, but a regional one and one with a seeming penchant for micronation stories. This falls way below the bar proposed in points 1 and 2, unless there are other sources which haven't been listed in the article. (If there are, please insert them. I'm not trying to delete for the sake of it). Point 3 I feel is too vague with it's either/or, and this 'micronation' only meets it by virtue of having been involved in court cases. I'll make my point about that on the talk page. --kingboyk 19:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I am pretty sure that I've seen the Syndey Morning Herald at some international oriented newsstands in California in the US and an Australian oriented shop in Vancouver in Canada, though I can't say as I bought it or have photos of it there. That's three countries, if my memory is correct. If it gets that much coverage it's likely also in England and perhaps other places. I can't disagree that the SMH seems to have a penchant for covering micronations, but it also seems like Australia has a penchant for creating them, as a national quirk. It might be interesting to study whether the press coverage is disproportionate for the amount of activity actually going on, but for now it seems sufficient to me. Your mileage may vary, this posting should not be used as a control mechanism for air traffic control or nuclear facilities. Georgewilliamherbert 19:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think that's 3 countries. That's a very fine and respected newspaper from one country being sold overseas for expats, as happens with all of the famous papers (London Times, Wall St Journal etc). Lol about ATC and nuclear facilities and a very good point. We're probably all taking this a tad too seriously :) Genuine smile from me! --kingboyk 20:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge - satisfied them too weakly I think.... changed my thinking from the above after doing a fair bit of digging (it's amazing how many copies of Wikipedia text are out there now!!!).. I found evidence this state grants medals, honors, and possibly degrees, and added that stuff to the article. But I could not find more than that... I'm coming around to thinking that this one should be in a Minor Micronations article along with a few others. Of all the micronations out there, maybe only 10 or so deserve articles of their own. Does this one make the top ten? Now I'm thinking maybe not... so I changed my thinking. Wow that was longwinded! Deal! However I could still be convinced to change BACK. Meanwhile, people might want to consider participating in this discussion: Category talk:Micronations where some more concrete guidelines may be formed. So far only user:kingboyk and I have been talking... we have some reasonable stuff I think but need more thoughts from others. ++Lar: t/c 01:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI Marco Benz

Marco Benz was recognized as a Poster acoss the nation of the United States to recruit soldiers is worthy of its own by Marco Benz to be chosen. The U.S. Navy has done so with Marta_Tuyet_Dodd and she is there is a notable her own here on wikipedia.Saigon76nyc 14:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

FYI: Marta Tuyet Dodd was:

1) The first Vietnamese-American to be was selected as a Recruiting Poster for the United States Armed Forces out of a selection process of 17 Sailors throughout the world for the campaign, which was featured in The Navy Times;

2) Is the webmaster of "Navy Girl" which describes her personal experiences and her desire to serve her country;

3) Navy Girl has had nearly 904,250 hits since she started it a year and a half ago;

4) She also established a e-newsletter called called "One Military Parent" for members of all branches of the military.

In Contradistinction, Marco Benz

1) Has also ben claimed by you (I think) to have been given poster status by the military, still unsubstantiated;

2) Happens to be a descendant of someone notable which is irrelevant to his own notability; and

3) Nothing else.

I invite you to make your case more convincingly. --Fuhghettaboutit 16:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate

Was tagged for Proposed deletion, but Netoholic swapped it for {{disambig}} instead. It's still a dictdef (which is Wiktionary, in a much better state) and some vaguely related articles, none of which would be at this title. Cleaning up the disambig per WP:MOSDAB would leave "'''Alternate''' may refer to: {{wiktionary}} {{disambig}}". —Cryptic (talk) 05:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The purpose of {{disambig}} is exactly as it sounds, and not to provide dictionary definitions; that's why Wiktionary exists. I don't see anyway to turn this into a useful page, as there's really no point in redirecting "alternate" to things like alternator and alternative music (we already have alternative (disambiguation) for that). --Kinu 06:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crazy People Rock

DeleteWhile some singles are certainly worthy of an entry in Wikipedia, this one is not. Withholding my personal reasons as to why i think this should be deleted due to it's very low "musical" quality, it is perfomed by a forgotten winner of a talent contest and didn't chart (well I thought it didn't, the author of the article seems to think it made it to 39 in the Australian top 40, & he would know seeing as he has done the research) I think it should be deleted because no-one in Australia has any interest in the single or artist, let alone the rest of the world(Khan 05:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC))

• Delete Really bad artist, & nobody could care less (other than above two, which are probably the same person).
• Delete Too many singles already and I am Australian & I have never heard of this song but if you read the lyrics on the net, it seems as if a four year old wrote them, "people did you come here to get nuts tonight? I said people were gonna unite yellow, black, and white" This guy cant be serious? Did he write this song?(Factory1 00:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC))

• MergeThere are more hits for my local restaurants & real estate agents on google than "crazy people rock", should we make an article on them? Sorry MC Survery aka MC Brown Shoes, either you are Scott Cain or probably his only fan, I agree this 'song' is possibly the worst song I have ever heard but that is certainly not why I put it up for deletion, if that was the case I would be putting everything from NSYNC, Backstreet boys, Britney Spears etc up for deletion, the song itself is simply not notable enough to have its own entry in wikipedia. Your article was very well written, but I dont even think there should be an article on all the Beatles singles(which there isnt) let alone this Scott Cain person. Seriously though cant we just have less articles like this on wikipedia, where will it end? Just merge them under one article under his name. And I am not familiar with the term "gee mate"? What does this mean? As it stands im changing my vote from delete to merge.(Khan 02:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC))

Unsourced, unverifiable 1-paragraph POV essay about a matter of religious doctrine of one denomination in one geographic area. Delete as unencyclopedic. MCB 06:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grey Out

Article reads mostly as ad copy. Googling on Grey Out as an industry term 1 returns some hits, but the articles found seem to always mention "Tub-Rite". It seems less of an industry term and more of an advertising term for one company. Vslashg 20:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

This article could be edited such that it focuses more on grey out, rather than solutions to get rid of it. The polymer chemistry described is patented and is not marketing hype. The frequent reference to "Tub-Rite" is where I see the potential marketing problem, and this could easily be addressed in an edit of the article.

[edit] Semi-hydroponic_for_growing_orchids

Delete this very poorly written commercial spam - just trying to sell things at firsttrays.com BarryNorton 19:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Established yet trademarked growing technique that's easily verified. Needs NPOV removed, that's all. Since trademarked, mentioning firsttrays is unavoidable, IMO. --Perfecto 03:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Trademarked but not patented, since this is not novel - what's the value to Wikipedia of listing this separately from hydroponics and including the trademark? --BarryNorton 11:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep or Merge to hydroponics then. --Perfecto 15:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Difficult not to mention Ray when discribing semi-hydroponics. As to my poor writing - I`m not born in English speaking countries. Why not someone try to improve my writing --jmak 11:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd be happy to correct the English, but only as part of a merge with the general hydroponics page, or as a redirection to a new page on passive hydroponics (avoiding being named after / devoted to the trademarked name). In this context I think it would be fine to mention someone who's done a lot to promote, and enable, hydro techniques to a niche audience, i.e. orchid growers. --BarryNorton 06:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

All this sounds fair to me.

[edit] Chicago-style hot dog

Delete. There is already a very fine page on Hot dogs which includes details on the Chicago-style hot dog as well as other hot dogs. Delete under: Indiscriminate Information. SilkTork 09:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment Yes, merge appears more in line with my intention. The Chicago hot dog is dealt with very well in the Hot Dog article. My point was not to delete all references to the Chicago hot dog - merely the separate article which mostly repeats what is said in the main article. SilkTork 15:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

But the Chicago hot dog is more notable than the other hot dogs in that article. It would at least warrant additional coverage in that article, but I believe it warrants a separate article--particularly because of the relation to other Chicago cuisine and culture. --Karnesky 15:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with hot dogs. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 10:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is not indiscriminate info! Why delete this over any of the other articles in Category:Chicago_cuisine? The Chicago dog probably ranks along-side Chicago pizza as the most significant (most common, most consumed, most known, and most unique) food to the City. It is claimed there are more hot dog stands in Chicago than McDonalds, Burger Kings, and Wendys combined. --Karnesky 15:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above, and maybe a specific redirect page to hot dogs would be appropriate. --Fuhghettaboutit 16:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A Chicago-style hot dog is independently notable (It's come up as a tossup subject in mainstream quiz bowl; ergo, I think it deserves an article. --Andy Saunders 17:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, definitely notable enough to deserve its own article. I'm sure there's a lot more that could be said about it. Zagalejo 21:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Most likely the notable variation of hot dogs. This is a pretty good article, and a merge would just add clutter to the hot dog page as it is. Also is part of the culture of Chicago. youngamerican (talk) 00:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Silktork, if you call this indiscriminate information, then check out Category:The Price is Right pricing games. If this was a short stub I'd say merge. As it is, more or less 27 registered users would want this speedily kept. --Perfecto 01:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. As the owner of this website (Unregistered to Wikipedia, though I am available via my e-mail available on the site), I can assure the above that none of my authors created this, and as such, this is in no way advertisement. Remove it if you will, but your gratuitous assumption is baseless and insulting.
• Keep. I reviewed all of the links provided by those who say delete and find that the article doesn't really meet any of these reasons at all.
• Keep. Keep this because people are idiots for attempting to delete something about a site. Why not delete other sites wikipedia like newgrounds.com? How about vgcats? Just because a site is specified on wikipedia doesn't mean it has to be deleted. Why don't you people who want to delete it think about every other site that is on wikipedia and attack those too. Otherwise it is being prejudice to this site only.
• Keep. The WP:VSCA states advertising for small companies. Gametrash isn't a small company and as mentioned in it's description, no one at the site is paid and no advertisers pay the website to advertise on the site.

[edit] Chisato Amate

The following is copied from WP:SD: —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

was a page on a japanese actress. i'd saved a first state and was in the middle of getting info for the second when it was deleted by User:Lucky 6.9 with the rationale "So-and-so is an actress. It's also a weblink placeholder. Other than that, it's just groovy." it contained date and place of birth, kanji for the subjects name, and a filmography -- all three things IMDb currently lacks. my personal feeling is that if Luck 6.9 truly felt it should have been deleted it should have been listed in afd. Nateji77 09:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment There are many actors and actresses on WP. What has this person done to make themselves notable? The article makes no claims, WP:BIO refers for an outline of what is notable.  (aeropagitica)  13:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, legitimate movie actress. Kappa 18:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Short articles with little or no content can be deleted. Doesn't take a bureaucracy, after all.  :) I'm not against an article on this actress, but this one should have had a lot more effort put forth. Abstain unless it remains in the state it's in. - Lucky 6.9 19:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • "little or no content" is still not a speedy criterion. Kappa 19:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Under WP:CSD a very short article with little or no context is liable for speedy deletion. At the moment, this article is in such a state. We don't know whether whether Ms Amate played a significant role in these films or was an extra. In order to meet WP:BIO, she would need to have played fairly significant roles. Her IMDb shows she has featured in two films in its database including one roll in top billing. That makes her notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 00:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

This article was nominated as a non-notable biography speedy deletion by User:Makemi, but I think there's enough of an assertion of notability to require an AfD nomination.

• Delete. Look at the references: "dictionary.reference.com" and "blog.memeorandum.com". I doubt the "company" should have an article, let alone him. As for the Google test, there are plenty of other people with the name "Gabe Rivera," and I doubt that a significant chunk of the 14,000 GHits are of this individual. (I happen to know two people named "Gabe Rivera" personally, oddly enough.) When you take that into account, it doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO by my standards. --Kinu 19:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. A google search ("gabe rivera" memoreandum) returns over 12,000 hits, so it appears that this Gabe Rivera is the subject of most of those hits. Very specific search parameters ("founder of memoreandum" "gabe rivera") returns 27 hits. However, this latter search reveals nothing but blog mentions. Thus, he may be more notable than previously thought, but the circle of that notability is very specialized. --Fuhghettaboutit 19:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As the author of the page, this vote is naturally going to be percieved as biased. The comments about Gabe vs memeorandum are understandable, however, in this context Gabe is the sole founder and operator of memeorandum. Aspects of the article deserving extension (I have reclassified it to a stub) include the fact that the work undertaken so far on this project has been entirely at Gabe's expense and unfunded, and it is making a big difference to the way the many people who use the service consume their news. This is expected to increase as more people are engaged in Blogging and reading news in this way, and as such is provides an increasingly important community service for the wider internet population. With technical consideration, Gabe has developed a number of aspects of this technology and its algorithms which are highly unique, and from a commercial perspective it is quite likely that he, as a person, will receive significant notoriety in the context of a investment revival in dot com fortunes, as he is engaged in discussions for aquisition at the moment that may make him a pin-up boy for the Web 2.0 movement in a similar light to this Business 2.0 article of this month: [20]. While the decision of noteworthy lies in the hands of the Wikipedia community, I'd suggest this stub is well worth keeping and expanding.

And, there is a large group of people (large enough compared to other things on Wiki) who have been affected by this man and find that his ideas are something special that should be shared.

• Keep His seminal work on Gadamer? The piece was narcissistic at best, at worst... Still, this having been said, both mine, and the user in question's opinion were just that, and merit no inclusion in the article, unless one can find another Philosopher (preferably of superior renown to Fischermann) who criticise him for this. I seriously doubt that anyone here who claims to know Colin Fischermann is telling the truth, the stuff on "Marcy Boy" is ridiculous, I can find no reference to Karl, or any of his relatives at all (this includes the sleeves and dedications of his book, which don't mention his family at all for some reason.

What is more, is that this information, even if true, is utterly irrelevant to anyone beyond his immediate circle of friends, why was it included on Wikipedia in the first place? Basically, all the information on his family can, and should be cut as irrelevant, if not a hoax. However, Wikipedia should not be so hasty as to delete the entire article, the article, like his work, may have some merit in it. I think one can be reasonably sure it passes the professor test, and in theory is verifiable (Can someone upload the front cover of one of his books, or at least get me a digital camera (or not)? A photograph, like the one in the article, is not nearly enough to go on, I personally don't know what he looks like. I can see someone constructing a case for deletion based upon lack of importance within the philosophical and theological community, but constructing a case based upon the vandalism and hoaxing of one user as if that somehow condemns the entire article to being a hoax, utter rubbish! I am genuinely surprised he is not on Google, the name isn't misspelled, and from his ego-centric ramblings in "'Truth and Meaning' - forcing open Pandora's box?" he seems like the type who would love to get his name somewhere (okay, so it's opinion, it's not in the article, so I suppose he's fair game) I just looked at the deletion page, most of the comments come from one IP address, an address that has been engaged in vandalism before, and it looks like someone has been trying to get this article accepted as a hoax by creating inane additions to it. So basically, don't delete immediately, ignore the vandal, and wait for verifiability. When (if) the verification is provided, then take down the hoax tag, let users expand on the article, and then debate whether he is significant enough to have on Wikipedia. I think he’s important enough to keep on Wikipedia (just), that significant numbers of people know of his books suggests he was widely published, I’ll look into it.

I get the impression that Wikipedia allows voting without any requirement of explanation. However, I do not find "philosophical musing" as a criteria for deletion. Did you mean OR? --JimmyT 04:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete. The subject "philosophy of life" lends itself well to the original intention of Biology (the study of life) which has become a study of living things. More hard science has been done which has allowed more knowledge to be accumulated about things common to all life. "Philosophy of Life" literally means, "knowledge about life" and this is the obvious place to put that knowledge which is common to all life. This would include how Diatoms changed early Earth's atmosphere, examples of how life is found almost everywhere liquid water exists, how life survives through hostile environments, how life forms more complex life forms, what effects life has on the physical universe, etc.Terryeo 01:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Terryeo (talk • contribs) is the article's author.

I have to disagree with your opinion. What do you mean by "its very nature"? This article could be an encyclopedic article if it presented views of the many different Philosophies of Life as contained in numerous religions and philosophies. --JimmyT 04:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
