[edit] Second Superpower

This page looks like complete junk. It is filled with redlinks. It has citiations and quotes in non-sensical places. After reading it I'm not even sure what it's about. Delete as Decief Tobyk777 06:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete- Incomprehensible. Looks like Original Research and POV. Reyk 06:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, doesn't seem to be original research as the article is well-referenced with noteworthy sources that seem to use the term, such as Green Peace --TBC??? ??? ??? 07:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just quotes some sources that used the term. The subject might be worth an article (it depends on whether the term actual has a specific meaning or has either been thought up by various people independently or no meaning beyond the literal one), but this would at best be a source for it, not something to base it on. - Andre Engels 09:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep 142k google hits and has references. Also note the page has been around since April 2003 -- Astrokey44|talk 10:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • keep probably deserves a chance, and could defiantely help epole who heard the term and want to find out what it is.Dolive21 11:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup - verifiable by a Google search, but the article needs a lot of work. Strong keep per Calkin's rewrite Robin Johnson 12:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep per Kalkin's rewrite. Thanks, magical fairies! :-) Robin Johnson 09:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep rewrite. Keep and clean up. Admittedly needs some TLC, but could conceivably become a good article. Brisvegas 12:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. --Terence Ong 13:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. --Siva1979Talk to me 14:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. StarTrek 16:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Are all those saying "keep and cleanup" planning to do the cleanup themselves? How are we going to know that the work will be done after the article is kept. Wikipedia is maintained and improved by users, not magical faeries, and saying "Keep, I hope the magical faeries fix the article at an undisclosed point in the future" just seems silly from where I'm standing. -- Saberwyn 21:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, this doesn't make me any more inclined to do it myself, but Wikipedia has some brilliant users and yes, I expect someone will. (Perhaps they're waiting to see the outcome of the VfD first.) No one is saying it will be fixed by magical fairies, please don't be silly. Robin Johnson 23:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
        • You do have to admit "keep per this rewrite" is a much better argument to keep than "keep and hope someone else will come and fix it". -- Saberwyn 11:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
          • I don't understand you. Neither of those is an argument, they're both suggestions you might make. If the problem is that the article is badly written, but you do believe that an article on this subject should be there, I do think that keeping it for editors to improve is a better idea than deleting it. Robin Johnson 12:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
            • Forget I said anything. -- Saberwyn 20:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Keep as per my rewrite. Still could use work, of course. Kalkin 18:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Hallelujah! Keep Kalkin's rewrite as a vastly improved form of the article, and a far better launching pad for later expansion than the article was at nomination. -- Saberwyn 20:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per above. The Disco King 17:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as above, but rename to Second superpower. ProhibitOnions 20:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep as ProhibitOnions. Oliver Keenan 20:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per above. Cnwb 22:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as neologism. Peter Grey 06:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Widely used, 152k google hits. MMZach 06:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soap dispenser

No claim to notability of soap dispensers. If there really is something special about soap dispensers it should be part of Soap. Schzmo 00:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

This Afd is an example of why PROD is working so well. Within two hours, there are significant changes to the article eliminating reason for delete. Please consider PROD if you don't already use it. FloNight talk 02:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Soap dispensers are pretty separate from soap as a whole, and I'd be interested in knowing more about them - for instance, when they started appearing in public restrooms, how they work, various types, etc. This article could be expanded to include that stuff, and the soap arrticle could link to it. Excellent topic for an encyclopedia; if I can find any info I may write this up myself. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 00:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. Pez dispensers with Pez; soap dispensers with soap. Bucketsofg 00:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Soap and soap dispensers have a different relationship from Pez and Pez dispensers. Soap has a whole history and life outside of soap dispensers, whereas Pez doesn't have any real history outside of Pez dispensers. Soap and soap dispensers are just not as inextricably tied together as Pez and Pez dispensers. The two subjects are less "of a piece" and don't need to be in the same article in the way that Pez and Pez dispensers did. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 00:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I imagine we could expand this article with a more elaborate explanation and some pictures. Royboycrashfan 00:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above and expand --TBC??? ??? ??? 00:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Soap dispenser is different from soap FloNight talk 00:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete substub, then enter as an article request. This is not an article, this is not the start of an article, this is not a good stub. This does not provide any information that is not implicit in the article title, and its presence in Wikipedia performs no service to anyone. This is the expression of someone's desire that Wikipedia have an article on soap dispensers; that is, it is an improperly executed article request. The topic itself is perfectly good, and any time that someone has enough information to write a decent stub they can re-create the article. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Not any more! FloNight talk 01:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I should probably mention that I took the liberty of actually making that merge. It seems clear to me that "Manual soap dispenser" and "Automatic soap dispenser" probably don't deserve separate Wikipedia entries. --Hyperbole 01:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per FloNight. --Firsfron 01:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Fine little article on an everyday item. dbtfztalk 02:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep good improvements, needs more. Ziggurat 03:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable topic and now a good little article. Capitalistroadster 03:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Humorous if come across on random pages, but who's going to look up "soap dispenser"? TKE 03:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep... it's kind of worthy of its own article, I suppose, but there's a definite need to expand it into something truly encyclopedic. And no article on soap dispensers is complete without a mention of the infamous Yale soap dispenser ordeal... --Kinu t/c 03:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per above. ¡Dustimagic! (T/C) 04:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, although the tautological opening line should be rewritten. ("A soap dispenser is a device that dispenses soap...") The Disco King 04:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
    • - Thanks! That's a lot better! The Disco King 17:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I expect more people will read the article in connection with this nomination than over the next 5-10 years . . . Monicasdude 05:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I enjoy clean hands and keeping articles about common, everyday items.Tombride 07:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but would have voted delete based on dicdef if the article would still have the form at the time of nomination. - Andre Engels 09:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Good info source.--Tdxiang 陈 鼎 翔 (Talk)ContributionsContributions Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, this is a good article. An encyclopaedia should definitely include this. The article can be expanded if we get more sources. Its current state looks fine though. --Terence Ong 10:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr.. Feezo (Talk) 10:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Definatelly deserves to stay Dolive21 11:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, soap dispensers are important. JIP | Talk 14:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per JIP. --Siva1979Talk to me 14:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Soap dispensers are a real, tangible thing. Given the notability of some of the stuff we do keep, I can't believe soap dispensers would even be in question. 204.69.40.7 14:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. It needs improvement, but I think this is definitely an article to which "wiki is not paper" applies. --kingboyk 15:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Interesting and well written. Nigelthefish 17:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Interesting and a good start. Notable enough topic, everyday item. ProhibitOnions 20:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - interesting, notable, a start. Certainly needs some improvement. Oliver Keenan 20:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, would be great to see a reference to a notable event where a soap dispenser was crucial though. Deizio 00:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, soap dispensers are notable and different to soap. I'd be curious to see what it turns into. -- Mithent 00:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Slightly not in accordance with AfD rules but given the new version I'd suggest Speedy keep JoshuaZ 04:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I have one...delete it because they obviously don't exist and are not sold by companies --DragonWR12LB 06:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I guess, b ut it would be better if Booking563 were to create whole articles instead of just looking round the cubicle and creating a stub on each thing he sees. Just zis Guy you know? 22:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious keep. Good stuff. Grace Note 09:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - That's three "deletes" versus thirty-two "keeps." I realize that this isn't a straight voting contest, but consensus seems to be pretty clear here, and the objections brought up by the dissenters seem to have been addressed. The Disco King 15:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banana tooth

This is a disputed prod. The editor who removed the prod template claims it's a legitimate term, but I can find no references to this usage of the term on Google (search results). Delete as unverifiable and non-notable neologism.--Muchness 00:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Catholic missionaries

Inaccurate and unencyclopedic. This content is already addressed at Missionary. Kerowyn 00:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Well the votes here are for the article as it stands. If someone was to write a proper, encyclopedic article on Catholic missions (or any other flavour for that matter) then I'm sure opinions would change. --Aim Here 17:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, if you want a seperate article, just start adding info on Catholic missionaries in a section of the missionaries article, eventually people will be forced to fork it for you. JeffBurdges 04:05, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lakhan Gusain

Article for a non-notable person, apparently written by the subject. Article was prodded, but the author deleted both the prod AND what assertions of notability there were (namely that he had a teaching job in John Hopkins Uni), which is why I'm AfDing what looks like a speedy-able article -- Aim Here 00:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment John Hopkins is good enough that being a professor is automatically notable, but he doesn't seem to be a professor. Its best to delete the one sentence version though. JeffBurdges 04:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I disagree with JeffBurdges that being a prof at Johns Hopkins makes one notable (see WP:PROFTEST for guidelines in progress), but in this case... the guy wasn't claiming to even be a prof, and he's not even on the faculty list: [1]. The prior version claimed he was widely published, which would be sufficient... but I couldn't find anything on google scholar, nor even a home page, so I can't verify it.

I've been thinking the same thing, though either option is fine by me. Royboycrashfan 03:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Not really that much to it. It's a common Italian usage, like the Engish "get it?" or Spanish "comprende?" at the end of a sentence. It got used as dialog in Mafia movies. (By the way, the appropriate answer is, "Capisco.") Fan1967 03:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, he's not a CSD A7 because there's some assertion, but beyond that the notability is what we're here to decide. Have I missed something?

I've edited the article quite a bit. The robbery took place in the spring of 1963, not the fall of '60 as originally cited.

[edit] Bhai Makhan Shah

I tagged this for speedy, but, in view of an objection raised on the article's talk page, I figured I ought to bring it to AfD. Essentially, the text is a Sikh story taken from this website (I don't think that there's a copyvio issue). Were the article a summary of the story, it would perhaps be appropriate; it seems summaries exist here for sundry Bible stories (e.g., Genesis. As it is, though, the article reads essentially like a fictional account (I should say that perhaps my atheist tendencies got the better of me when I added the speedy tag, inasmuch as I wrote that the text was "like a fictional story"; I do not mean here to suggest that the story is apocryphal, only that the fashion in which it is currently presented is non-encyclopedic and akin to that one would find in a novel or the original source). Moreover, were the text of great religious import, it would, I think, appear in some form on more than one website; a Google search for a short portion of the text, though, returns just one result, the website supra. Thus, delete keep (with tags). Joe 03:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

*Delete per above No vote for now. Once the article creator finishes on improving the article I'll vote for keep Strong Keep, good job on cleaning up the article --TBC??? ??? ??? 03:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC) *Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 04:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Changed my vote to Keep. --Khoikhoi 06:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment As the writer of this article, I make the following comment: It is interesting to note that this article was tagged by Joe for speedy deletion as Joe thought that the article "appears to be a fictional story" at 2:58. He had failed to notice that the article began with: " Makhan Shah Lubana (also written as Lobana) was a devout Sikh and a rich trader from Tanda district Jhelum (now in Pakistan)…" – If this was a fictional story, would it refer to "(now in Pakistan)". Further, mid-way down the article is the line " He then recited this Shabad of Guru Arjan Dev:" followed by the sacred hymn by the fifth Sikh Guru – Now surely if you are not even aware of the Gurus of the Sikhs, do you have the right to make any judgement on this article or any other article linked to Sikhism?
If Joe has the "well-being" of Wikipedia at heart, surely it does not take more than a few seconds to search for "Makhan Shah" on Google to see if this is fiction or fact! – He would have found 654 hits and the first article is at: www.Sikh-History.com – Do I need to say more! – I don't think you would find fictional stories on a history website. Under the circumstances, the comment by User talk:Royboycrashfan that this is "original research" is laughable. 654 hits with Google and this is original research!! And what is surprising is that he is supported by User:TBC and User:Khoikhoi. Follow the leader!!
Following my comments on the discussion page highlighting that this article was a Sakhi, which are very popular in Sikhism at 3.09, Joe changed the article to AfD status at 3.13 saying that this was because "text is a Sikh story taken from this website". So in 4 minutes he has done a proper comparison of the two articles. I am sorry but I don't think this is how articles should be judged - Someone spending 4 minutes to evaluate an article that may have taken a few days to create from various resources. How can someone who appears to have no knowledge of the subject matter and has spent very little time be allowed to take such a step?
Having read the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion, I believe that the comments made by Joe – "only that the fashion in which it is currently presented is non-encyclopedic" does not appear to be reason for articles to be deleted.
Further, he says that if the text was: "of great religious import, it would, I think, appear in some form on more than one website" – This is based on a Google search of the words: "Once while he was returning home". What he does not tell us is the Google finds the following:
"with his ship carrying valuable goods over the vast seas, his ship got caught up in a furious storm" in my article and
"with his ships loaded with valuable cargo, there was a furious storm at sea and his vessels got caught in it" on the other site.
Not quite the same sentence – let alone the whole article. So how he can say that "text is a Sikh story taken from" another site is completely unjustified.
So I believe that these criticisms are totally ill-founded and without foundation. Further, this appears to a tactic to discourage minority religions to have a reasonable say on this website and this type of behaviour will stall contribution from the minority traditions. The majority sects will dictate what goes on this site - even when they are completely wrong!!--Hari Singh 05:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment, please calm down. First of all, with quotes, Google only shows 138 results, but then again Google is not very reliable for articles on non-English related subjects. Second of all, I suggest you cite your sources as well as rewrite and clean-up the article using the Wikipedia:Manual of Style as your guide to make it so that the article sounds more like an encyclopedia article instead of a fictional story. If you need help, you can always contact other editors. --TBC??? ??? ??? 05:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment As I suggested on Hari's talk page, there is "certain[ly]...a different way in which to include the story, one short of the insertion of the story itself" (assuming for the sake of argument that the story is indeed notable, as I think it likely is). If there seems to be a consensus for notability here, I would be happy to withdraw the nomination and remove the AfD tag and instead tag the article as needing to be Wikified, cleaned up, and sourced.

  • Comment Initially if you folks had said that the style was not good and it should be improved – Well, I can understand that and we can discuss that. – But that is not what was said. Please read the initial posts. First it was a fictional story, then it has been taken from another website or may be it was original research or school project! Well what is it?

    You know that the world has over 6 billion people and there are just 1million articles on this site – that a tiny fraction – This site does not represent the views of the globe or even all the English speaking people – If you don't listen and allow other to tell you their story, how will you know how they feel and what they have to say!

    If you care to look, I have written over 400 articles for Sikhiwiki (http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) and Wikipedia on Sikhism. When a Sakhi is told, it is told as a story. That is how these were recorded in the "Janam Sakhi"s which have existed since Guru Nanak in the 1500. What is suddenly wrong with this style? Was there a reason why this style was used? And because of Wikipedia, this style has to change?

    It would help me if constructive comments were made rather than irrelevant and incorrect comments! Many thanks to all of you who have been constructive and have taken your time to improve things rather than move backwards! I am much grateful for your help.--Hari Singh 07:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep it's definately notable and deserves a Wikipedia entry. However, it needs cleaning up (a lot) and it needs to be moved to Makhan Shah. We should refrain from adding titles unless necessary (in this case, Bhai means brother). Essentially any relatives of the Sikh gurus or close associates all deserve Wikipedia entries. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 18:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above Computerjoe's talk 19:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I think that, consistent with the comments of Sukh and the discussions several of those who posted here have had with the article's creator on his and other talk pages, it would be fair to say that there is a consensus for keep. The article, as it is now, still needs a great deal of work, but the appropriate tag has been added, and it appears that Hari understands how best to write the article in order that it should conform to Wikipedia conventions (although I am a bit worried by his comment supra: "When a Sakhi is told, it is told as a story. That is how these were recorded in the "Janam Sakhi"s which have existed since Guru Nanak in the 1500. What is suddenly wrong with this style? Was there a reason why this style was used? And because of Wikipedia, this style has to change?"). This can't be closed as a speedy keep, but I do think it should now be closed as keep. In the future, I do think that a proper procedure for us to follow when presented with an article such as this was in its first version, consistent with the "On deleting pages" section of WP:DGFA, is to vote "delete" and then list the article on WP:RA. Joe 20:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Astrokey44. OhNoitsJamieTalk 22:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Hari removed the AfD tag from the page. Because I fear that he may infer malign motive from my re-adding it (even as I've now supported the "keep" position), I'm not re-adding it (though it was removed out-of-process), especially because I expect that this will be closed as keep soon.

  • Keep Game is not vaporware. Game can be downloaded and played on a PC as well as sample music files from the game. The downloadable portions of the game are playable and contain a scenario to play. In essence, it can be considered a demo, or a short game in itself. The playability of the game is however not complete of what the author wants, as the game will continue to grow and become bigger, and will be released upon the web accordingly. There is no crystal ball, no predicted event, game is playable and has already happened and has been online for 10 months. With each version release, new content and new gameplay will be added and changed. Viperg 20:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I probably should shut my mouth, but I'm too much a passionate, truthful and tactless person to do so.
1. I am the other developer. 2. I would login but wiki refuses to deliver my new password.
Onto the matter at hand: I find it highly amusing how wikians and their admins love to talk about vanity while they're measuring everything upto their humangoose ego and penis sizes. I always thought it is entertaining how ERROGANT wikipedia is to discuss the likes of Jack Thompson when they're so not too different in their behavior themselves.
This game is a project, a highly ambitious one to admit (and since when reaching far is wrong? Would you like to go bash Will Wright now?) which strives to satisfy the lacking needs required of today's games for ourselves and whomever may share our gaming desires. If you think what David wrote constitute as crystal balling, then I have no problem editing it out to stick to the facts. It will take years to develop, it will contain what I have in mind for it to contain and as was detailed and more.
But I think the problem really is, as said, phallic in nature. Simply put, BlackSky doesn't have the huge hype of celebritation which wikipedia require, though unlisted and I doubt you'll acknowledge its existance, it's a MAJOR consideration for you. So, just like you removed Pet Professional for it, I expect this to go down. Of course, if Pet Professional become a successful webcomic enoguh for you to notice, you'll come running to create an article for it. Sad hypocracy, is all I can say. Then again, the wiki rules never mentioned wikians need to be holding any virtue, merely trollish behavior to jump on every new post and nitpick it for violations, like any common forum trolls who got nothing better than 24/7 crawling around looking for someone to post something they can beat up like little nerds.
Anyhow, I never liked wikipedia, it is a failure and a good lesson in socio-dynamics, its "citizens" are more like an elitist geek society than a community of researchers and historians. So do whatever, not like I expect you to keep this. Don't know what David expected by posting this, I guess he doesn't know wikipedia too well. I'm off to work. Shrug. --Ori Klein originally —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.153.39.117 (talk • contribs).

You may want to read Vaporware (as well as WP:CIVIL). Catamorphism 07:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Oh, certainly, let us adress the biased wiki as a source of knowledge, there be a laughter. Vaporware:
<jargon> /vay'pr-weir/ (UK "vapourware") Products announced far in advance of any release (which may or may not actually take place). The term came from Atari users and was later applied by Infoworld to Microsoft's continuous lying about Microsoft Windows.
Seeing as how there was a release taking place, quite a few at that although the content of these releases may well be argued of, prior to announcements of any nature I don't see how this applies. Quite frankly, I don't see what is the big problem.
History is written by the winners, and wikipedia is no different. The eggorant presumptionous of its admins/users to believe or psuedo-aspire to have anything writtin inside being nothing but an objective account of facts is completely bogus as well as ridiculous. Wikipedia is entirely made out of "common's concensus", simply put, the most favored/popular oppinion is that which takes place at the center of the stage with fragments of what-may-be factual information taking sidekick placements to decorate the former.
The best example I have for such and the earlier claim I made regarding popularity/celebrity/hype/phenomena being the most considered factor for placement on wikipedia is how something as silly and rather sideline as Leeroy_Jenkins having an entire article dedicated to him. The simple first statement in the discussion area sums it all.
"This article has had a long journey to its current version. It has been the subject of mutliple deletion reviews and finally was unanimously voted for undeletion"; Indeed, wikipedia is motivated by nothing short of masses admiration. It is not, never was nor ever will be the online-dictionary-recordsholder it claims to be or claims to strive to be.
And before you jump on the "he's envy" cry-wagon, allow me to say this much: I could care less about BlackSky being listed on wiki in this context, I certainly see no good coming out of it. Personaly, I've been objecting to any sort of advertisment as I believe and forsee public reaction being nothing short of the leeching troll's "this isn't finished, this got bugs, where's my game" yawn-der and as you wikipedias reacted thus far (GG for the courtesy to say David is one full of vanity, he's nothing BUT, let me tell you, or this "article" at that, if anything it's a sincere obligation/mission statement. I would rather walk out with the project, or at least the game engine being half-done and then letting people I know of it and asking for feedback. But as said, this is not about BlackSky, this is about my grasp of wikipedia and how I see its denizen's.
This is what I'm angry about, what I "care" about. "You people" act immoraly and errogantly while forcibly applying rules of virtues and make self-proclamations regarding things you hold dear...if anything, YOU are the vaporware which has failed to deliver since then, now and ever. Hypocracy at its worst, and it is nothing short of utterly disgusting me.
One good thing did came out of this though, it grants me the notion of looking upon pushing further morality as part of the game's core design. Richard did good with ultima 4, sadly he forsoke soon the ideals of teaching good vs evil in his games since. He said once that games, especialy mmorpgs, should be made to educate people proper social behaviour, I believe that in a sense he is quite right. We'll see... --Ori Klein originally —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.153.39.117 (talk • contribs).
I'll continue to attack this on the merits of pedia's definition of vapourware, for the sake of argument since I'm such a righteous-aspiring person. Since I believe I've covered the "release" issue, skipping a bit forward..."The term implies deception, or at least unwarranted optimism; that is, it implies that the announcer knows that product development is in too early a stage to support responsible statements about its completion date, feature set, or even feasibility."
Deception this is not, never was, nor intended to be and I apologize if it has been grasped as anything of the sort.
Unwarranted optimsm, perhaps, unorginized amatuer indie developing always is and I'll be the first to admit and say that I've been part of many such and watched 90% falls through. Being a pessimistic in nature myself, this isn't easy for me to defend against, but...sigh, here's hoping. David, fail me and I'll crush your scronie(sp?) neck. ;)
Too soon? I'll acknowledge, as the article statements succinctly (and I could expand without a problem) that we're in "too early a stage" to make responsible statements probably other than "this is what we're setting out for - and this is where we are currently".
Feature set, by most is definitely something I could make a responsible statement about, of course it isn't set in stone and is subject to change, yes yes yes, but for the most part this is what I'm looking to achive (hell, the "article" is so...generic&minimized, it doesn't begin to describe what -I- will refer to as feature set), if anything I'm looking to expand and append features rather than to decrease (from the get go I'm looking at this as designing a strong highly capable engine rather than just "a game", so if anything even featuers which won't be used in the game will be available to the engine, why the fuck this is important? because "the game" will be 100% modifyable, er-go, you can use anything in the engine to change the game, IE, we're making it ships, you could make it tank wars or I dunno...does aerial monopoly sounds too far fetch? meh (lemme think about it for a few bits...well it own't be transport tycoon (aw, sweet game, thanks sawyer!) but I can definitely see key engine feature elements being redirected and geared towards such).
Completion date? Always moving, can't, didn't & won't make a "responsible" statement about. Personaly, deadlines always flactuate, I forsaw mid 2006-2007 as a good deadline with the initial progress rate for finishing the engine, however, with the current delay and to factor in a beta (as in having actualy begun to create the actual game's content) I predict it to slide well within deep 2007, perhaps even 2008? We'll see...
Feasibility? As said, independent developments tend to turn vapor/canceled/dissipate/however you may wish to call it. If we (David, or if need be ever sadly (here's hoping not) his predecessor(sp?)) stick to it I'll say that its 100% most definitely feasible, the scope is large so it simply takes time - being independant and all, but feasible? The current programing technology and what limited resources such an almost non-budget development is by far, wide and large more than the required to lunch such a thing. Of course, go pitch it to a publisher (they're all looking for quick&easy money cows that has AWEEEESOME 3D gfx and utilize the latest 3dfx card or something to the like) - it won't fly, which is why indie devs games are known for their type/genre which the pubs are scared to do and why this one is being made for free and is&will be provided for free. Meh. ^_^

As said, I'm not. What I am is arguing against what I perceive to be an irrational and biased act of self-induldgment.

  • Comment: The difference between Leeroy Jenkins and this article can be found about two sections into the article on Jenkins: "Leeroy was given a substantial boost in notoriety by the publication of an article in the August 2005 issue of PC Gamer UK by author Craig Pearson, entitled 'The Ballad of Leeroy Jenkins'." Jenkins was the subject of major media attention; he was something worth writing about before he got a Wikipedia article. Has anybody other than the developers written anything about Blacksky (other than in the AfD discussion)? —C.Fred (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment: AKA, Hype. As said, popularity, nothing more, nothing else. Importance, weight of the matter - so to speak, ramifications of the event in question, etc. they are all negligible. Only one thing matters on wikipedia, the one thing "online geeks" can ever agree on (couldn't notice Everquest lacks an entry, I doubt its because none attempted to create one, but rather due to the, so-called, "contributors" being unable to agree on one single fact to be a fact and not a personal oppinion), the common's concensus of the masses. I found the leeroy movie funny, but nothing beyond that. To go onto the lengths that "article" assumes and try to go...sad. It was a short fad, nothing more. No more than the "juggernaut bitch" and that starwars3-trailer-parody and so on and so forth. Amusing, good for a laugh, but not something one is to give substance and weight for. Yet, there it is. Why? One reason: "everyone loves to ""hate"" leeroy", so to speak. And of course, the large masses love WoW as well. Ori Klein 14:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep What exactly do you mean by "notable?" Notable amoungst. . .? Since the game provides real demos (I know, I've actually played them, have you?) it is obvious that this isn't just some sort of elaborate gimmick or whatever. It is an independent, and currently freeware, game that seems far more developed than most all that I have seen in sourceforge.net or other games with non-profit development strategies. How many more releases are needed before this game becomes worthy of a wikipedia page? Or does it only become real when a commercial media organization takes a break from covering one of hundreds of US criminal cases (often no longer even relating in some way to a hollywood or sports celebrity,) and provides coverage of the project? --DS —This unsigned comment was added by 69.179.59.136 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC).

  • I'm borderline on this because the solar nebula article is specific to our solar system. Accretion disc is a part of the Accretion thoery, but I don't think it's the whole story. It's possible that protoplanetary disc may be closer. But "accretion theory" is the valid over-arching name, so I'm favoring keep. — RJH 16:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
(I'm new to this process-- I hope it's appropriate for me to respond in this fashion!) Can you give a reference to your statement: 'accretion theory is the valid over-arching name?' My original objection is precisely that that term is -not- the 'valid over-arching name'. Furthermore, the nebular hypothesis and theory referred specifically to our own solar system historically because there was only one solar system known-- that does not mean planetary scientists think it is not applicable to other systems, it simply means they only recently began to test it and think about revising it. an article about the solar nebula theory can't be written with complete generality to other solar systems, because there is no consensus yet in the scientific community how to improve the model. we are still very early into this process! — Myrrhlin 15:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] International Student Exchange

Subject does not seem notable or relevant ("idiosyncratic non-topic"?). Article was added by an anon user (their only contribution) in July and has not been edited since. No talk page, no internal links to or from the page, and no categories. -- Chris 05:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Claw Your Way to the Top: How to Become the Head of a Major Corporation in Roughly a Week

Page is essentially a book review, albeit one with many excerpted quotes. As a compilation, it would seem to fail WP:OR. In any case, if it is to remain as a book summary, it would need serious cleanup. Because there doesn't seem to have been a clamor for a synopsis of the book before (especially in view of only one Dave Barry work's having gotten a page), I think the article should be deleted In view of the changes made (and those that editors will surely continue to make), the article surely no longer seems to fit any particular criterion for deletion and surely belongs; consequently, keep. Joe 05:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, non-notable book. JIP | Talk 14:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious Keep, non-negligible book by conspicuously notable author. Just being a lousy article isn't grounds for deleting the subject, and saying that an article should be deleted because parallel subjects don't have many articles is arguing that Wikipedia should not improve its coverage in areas where existing coverage is inadequate. Monicasdude 16:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
CommentOf course, I expect we'd quibble over where existing coverage is inadequate. Many new pages extend coverage to areas that were not previously covered, but many of those areas are not covered for a reason. When I noted that only one of Dave Barry's non-fic works has a page, I meant to suggest that a consensus already existed to the effect that the books were non-notable; one may perhaps disagree as to the propriety of my making this inference or to the validity or veracity of the inference. Notwithstanding that, I adduce the Wikipedia page for Al Franken's wonderful Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations. The differences between that page and the current one are readily apparent. It is always my policy to vote "delete" where a page is wholly substandard, even if I believe the topic of the page to merit inclusion here. General policy would seem to suggest that my voting is inappropriate, but one also observes that, at WP:DGFA, it is suggested that, as one deletes an article, he/she may, believing that the article should exist in a different format, instead list the article at WP:RA. I am always concerned about votes to keep deficient articles, because those who say that the articles should be cleaned up rather than deleted don't often take part in the cleaning up (I don't fault anyone for this; it's very easy to take on other projects here and to forget what one intended to do). Joe 20:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious Keep. Notable book by a very notable author. The only one of his non-fiction books with a blue link, which makes me very sad. These need to be filled in, not erased.

[edit] Upside down font

Not particularly verifiable, it's written as though it's a very weak spoiler encryption technique along the lines of ROT13. If there's a page on "webpage spoiler hiding", it deserves to be merged there, otherwise it should probably be weakly deleted.

I assume that's intended for me. It's because you used your real name and my magical friend Google checked it out.

[edit] Earth Riser

Delete non-notable webcomic. Fails WP:WEB. No apparent media coverage. Very few relevant Google hits (many false hits for the brand of bicycle), and Google shows nothing linking to it outside of its host site.[10] These reasons were put forth in a {{prod}}; the article's only author removed it without addressing any of the issues (though he took the time to add such highly relevant wikilinks as fire, earth and life).

[edit] Zikan

Continuing the clean-up of Soviet WWII articles, this is another highly suspect article which deals with a person never identified by name, but referenced once in a single non-authoritative book. Wikipedia cannot afford to be misused to further misinformation, simply because much of the Western world is ignorant of Soviet WWII personalities. Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 08:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete as unverifiable. The book "Stalingrad" does mention Zikan — in exactly the one sentence mentioned in the article. Googling for "Zikan sniper" seems to reveal that same sentence copied verbatim (and a lot of Call of Duty players with that nick). Since Zikan means "cheater" etc there is a good chance he was a war propaganda hoax. Unless sources surface either delete, or mention the probability of war propagaganda in the article. A published book and a couple of hundred ghits — just on the fence of being a notable hoax. Weregerbil 13:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless better verified. OhNoitsJamieTalk 23:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Note possible propaganda as per Weregerbil. If Zikan really existed, Wikipedia should have an entry on him(or her), and if not, the possibility of a hoax should be clearly noted, rather than allowing people to make conclusions without all the facts. Yvh11a 17:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jean Baptiste Sipido

CSD was challenged on th talk page, therefore we need a discussion on this one paragraph entry with no context, references, or statement of notability. I'd vote delete. Harro5 09:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable person, only 29 Google results [11] --TBC??? ??? ??? 09:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This was never a legitimate speedy candidate, as mentioning somebody as having attempted to assassin the Prince of Wales is, at the very least, an "assertion of notability". I've found a few references. The Times (obviously) reported on the case, There is an article by a "Dr Speyer" (no first name is mentioned), "The Legal Aspects of the Sipido Case", in the Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation 1900. There is also an entry for him in the WBIS Online with a reference to a Belgian biographical dictionary (I'll see if I can find that one in the library). As an alternative, we could consider deleting Sipido and adapt Wikipedia policy to report on things in exact proportion to the number of Google hits, in which case we really need to get up to speed with increasing our coverage of naked blonde women with big boobs. u p p l a n d 10:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Except they dont need to be blonde Im ok with that Defunkier 13:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I challenged the CSD, so here's why: Sipido took part in a real, if minor, historical event that played a part both in the history of anarchism and the history of the British Empire. An assasination attempt on the heir to the British throne during a time of imperial war is important and notable. I'd like to see a better article here (it should be tagged {{expand}} and probably {{cleanup}} too) but I don't believe this should be deleted. If Wikipedia is an encyclopedia it should cover this sort of material. Gwernol 13:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Back from the library. The Belgian Biographie nationale, vol. 42 (1981), has a fairly long article on Sipido on pp. 662-679. A Google Books search also turns up a couple of useful hits. u p p l a n d 14:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if expanded. At the very least, the article needs to decide whether it is about the event (in which case the title changes) or the person (in which case it needs to be rewritten as a biography). JPD (talk) 15:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't see anything in notability criteria that distinguishes between assassins who shoot and kill, assassins who shoot and wound, and assassins who shoot and miss. Squeaky Fromme, John Hinckley, Leon Czolgosz. Monicasdude 16:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alex Nackman

Delete This article appears to have been written by the subject of the article. Sperril 10:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Needs some cleanup, but appears to meet WP:Music. Feezo (Talk) 13:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep, bad faith nomination. Vanity alone is not grounds for deletion, article plainly asserts notability under WP:MUSIC criteria (national/international touring), and nominator doesn't challenge accuracy/verifiability of article. Monicasdude 16:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It does seem to be a musician of enough standing as to deserve his entry, but as it stands, it's badly done and does not quote any sources for the very upbeat assertions in the entry. Needs significant cleanup to turn it from a press release to an entry, but that is not enough for deletion, I would think... Evillan 21:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep since meets WP:MUSIC, Monica, please remember WP:AGF. I don't see any evidence of bad faith here. JoshuaZ 04:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    Comment. We can disagree about whether there is sufficient evidence of bad faith, but to say there is no evidence at all is not, I think, a reasonable position. Nominator 1) stated an invalid ground for deletion and 2) ignored a clear assertion of notability satisfying WP:MUSIC. Monicasdude 14:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    • It looks to me like nominator simply had a misunderstanding of the rules for vanity articles. If you prefer, replace "any evidence" with "at all strong evidence." Furthermore, such an error probably is under WP:BITE. JoshuaZ 14:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      WP:BITE applies to newcomers, not to somebody who first edited about nine months ago. Isn't it also fair to ask you to apply WP:AGF to yourself and consider that some of us might actually check on that point when making a statement here?Monicasdude 15:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • I'm sorry, I guess we looked at different things. You looked and saw that the user had been around for 9 months, I looked at his contribution list, of which he has a total of 150 or so edits, only about 6 of which are to deletion related pages. So for all intensive purposes Sper is a newcomer IMO. (I think I may need a wikibreak when I'm arguing over the proper application of WP:AGF and WP:BITE ah well...). JoshuaZ 15:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
        • I'm also sorry, but I do still consider myself a newcomer. After reading the relevent links that both of you have posted, I agree with the sentiments of those who voted to keep. I assure everyone involved that I had no prior knowledge of who Alex Nackman was, and did not act with any bad faith or malice whatsoever. I do maintain my position that persons who are intimatly involved with a biographical subject should refrain from creating articles about the subject because of the possibility of bias. I also disagree with the definition of notablility that is used under WP:MUSIC. That being said, it is an agreed upon policy that I'm now familiar with and will abide by. I was also unaware that the very act of putting an article up for a vote could be considered bad faith and I promise to use a lighter hand in the future. Upon reviewing the history of the article, I think that MusicMan5 has done a very good job in updating the article to be more in line of something approaching encyclopedic, but I still think the article reads like an advertisement for the musician. I have found reviews online that are both supportive of, and critical of the artist and the article falsely indicates that the press is only supportive of Nackman. In any case, I will not edit the article because of the accusation of bad faith on my part. -- Sperril 04:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the author, but not the artist. I used to manage the artist, so I know him well. I certainly wasn't deliberately trying to break any rules. I hope the article can stay. I tried to correct some of the mistakes with citing sources. -MusicMan5
  • Keep. The notability of the subject is clearly established by the article. Carlo 15:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems to be notable enough per WP:MUSIC. I see no bad faith in the nomination. --kingboyk 13:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

  3.

Nothing much elsewhere in Google, except from white noise from a TV station manager of the same name. --Malyctenar 10:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

For all I know, it could be just another one of hundreds of textbooks that appear and vanish into oblivion every few years.

[edit] Casandra Stark

This article was written by User:Roger Quid thirteen days ago, which amounted to his only contributions ever. It has been tagged for verification, importance explanation and clean-up, but looking at the history or the user contributions doesn't look like it will ever be fixed. Delete as a non-notable film maker. JIP | Talk 11:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Cult film-maker of little note. No claims to notability in article. Did her films win awards or receive critical acclaim? There may be a case for retention if evidence to this effect could be provided. WP:BIO refers.  (aeropagitica)  13:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, bordering on strong keep. Films are verifiable, treated as notable by press which covers "transgressive art." Probably best seen as a cult figure, but her work has been anthologized in the company of clearly substantive figures like Ferlinghetti. Monicasdude 15:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

He has been the subject of some articles and interviews on the topic of non-lethal weaponry. He may also be somewhat controversial as he held a 50% stake in the company while still serving as a police officer. — RJH 16:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strong Island Sound

non-notable, almost no google verification, only results are for [16] which has nothing to with this--152.163.100.13 11:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

my mistake. change non-notable baseball team, to non-notable basketball team, still falls short of notability, as the new google search obviously confirms--152.163.100.13 15:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep since the sports organization the team belongs to already has its own article, the team should have one too. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 11:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep This team meets every single criteria for retention as a professional sports team playing in the American Basketball Association. The nominator seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that the Strong Island Sound is in fact a basketball team, despite the fact that it is the seventh word in the article, within the name of the league in which it participates. The first Google search provided only lists 40 hits, which could be because the nominator appended "baseball team" to the search; that anything was found by that search is a borderline miracle. The second Google search provided as "justification" for the AfD lists 11,700 references to the team itself, which has everything to do with why it should be retained immediately as a Speedy Keep. This is yet another unfortunate example of how the AfD process is misused and abused, and why AfD's should NOT be accepted from IP Addresses. Please actually READ the article before ignorantly suggesting it be deleted. Alansohn 12:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • That's a nice lecture and everything, but since you wrote the article, obviously you feel it's notable, but thanks for making a cheap shot about how anons shouldn't create afds, guess what, anons can't create afd pages or any pages for that matter, seems like someone else should pay more attention before pointing fingers, and it isn't me. A non-notable basketball team isn't any better than a non-notable baseball team--152.163.100.13 15:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • The "Strong Island Sound" Google search is up to 11,800 items, almost all of which are clearly referring to the professional basketball team in question. The fact that a search appending "basketball" yields a smaller number of hits is not only irrelevant to justifying an AfD (after all, most people don't refer to a team with the name of the sport included), but the nunber of pages found, in and of itself, is evidence of notability. The fact that this IP Address user's entire experience on Wikipedia consists of two AfD's should also be cause for concern. Alansohn 15:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • and by the time you get to the 3rd or 4th page of strong island sound the results haven little or nothing to do with the team, and are simply puns of the phrase "strong island" and "long island sound"--152.163.100.13 15:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah, not to mention only 260 unique results anyway, and that's for 'strong island sound'--152.163.100.13 16:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • To clarify, I am NOT the author of the article, as a prefunctory review of the article's history would have shown. I did not touch this article until some three months after its creation, when I linked here from another article (that I had also not created) that was in my sphere of interest in Wikiproject New Jersey. The article was wikified and copyedited and -- both then and now -- deserves to be retained. This article meets every single objective criterion for notability for a professional sports team. Google is simply not enough to justify keeping OR DELETING an article. There is no arbitrary threshhold number of pages that you could specify that would justify deletion of this article, given its content and nature. Please find some objective standard that this article doesn't meet and let's stop with the Google War. Alansohn 16:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speed Keep per Alansohn. Bucketsofg 12:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This appears to be as notable as the other blue-linked teams on the American Basketball Association article page. A Google search provides 540 hits with the search term '"Strong Island Sound" +basketball'. This could be a bad-faith nomination on the part of the IP adress nominator.  (aeropagitica)  13:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Not everything with google hits is notable, and certianly 500 or so hits is not automatically criteria for notability--152.163.100.13 15:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Minor league professional sports teams are generally notable, certainly as notable as Pokemon characters and Air Force Amy. Monicasdude 16:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong (almost speedy) keep. Minor leagues and their teams are usually notable, but especially a team that's a part of something with the history and recognition of the ABA. If its an expansion team it might not google too well right now, but it is notable. Grandmasterka 18:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Professional basketball team. As notable as any other new-ABA team. No contest here. --Kinu t/c 18:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

This is true. However, it has been a de-facto standard for quite a bit. If we included an article on every little thing, it would be harder to maintain article quality. If you would like to discuss why you think the article should be included, please state your reasoning. Where (talk) 23:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Game names mean little. Without a description, nothing can be concluded from the name. Since one game on the same list had an article(Lottso!), I believed it acceptable to start one for another two(Squelchies and PoppaZoppa(which I notice is not up for deletion)). Unless you want all three of the game articles deleted, do not target any of them. BioTube 01:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree that game names mean little without a description, so perhaps it would be a good idea to shorten the list to just a couple of games, or just to add a short one sentence description after each game. I'm not sure. I think it would actually be a good idea to put the other non-notable games up for deletion, but that we should wait for this debate to finish first. Where (talk) 20:49, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daystar (hacker culture)

Unverified non-notable neologism/dicdef. This search returns a lot of mirrors and other sites probably not consider reliable sources. Even if it is a term it wide use it should be moved to Wiktionary. --CrypticBacon 21:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Already in Wiktionary, actually. I'll add a link accordingly. If this is deleted, Daystar (the disambiguation page) should be updated to have a link to Sun in place of the link to this article. My vote is Keep, because this term is not a neologism. I've found use of the term (in this sense) on USENET as early as 1999; earlier usage might be found with a more thorough search. Here are some early (1999/2000) uses I've found:
Reference from 2000: [18] Another reference from 2000: [19] From 1999: [20]
For reference, better search terms than "daystar hacker" would be something like "evil Daystar" or "rumors of the Daystar". Those appear to be the primary early usage contexts, although we cannot discount "Daystar" by itself. Unfortunatly, the prevalence of other meanings makes it hard to distinguish. "Hacker" as as search term is pretty useless, though; there's no indication that "hacker" would be likely to be found in close proximity to "daystar". Powers 02:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Ok, so even if it's verified, notable, and not a neologism, isn't it still just a dicdef? I mean, how is this word, as a concept or an idea, notable? My vote still stands for delete. --CrypticBacon 07:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    It's hard to say. I'm not entirely clear on what constitutes a dicdef, really. I'm not going to put up a big fuss if the consensus is to delete. =) Powers 12:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 16:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral I think it is certainly not a neologism and has seen decently widespread usage. I'm pretty sure you could count the Penny Arcade strip where tycho is in all black with his girlfriend and a motorcycle helmet and buys ice cream in the same light (even if it does not specifically use daystar), but I cannot seem to find it on short notice. Can this grow beyond a dicdef? I'm not sure... thus the neutral. kotepho 17:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep Keep (changed to Keep following Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr.'s edit) there's so much to dislike about this article. The content is a direct lift from the one linked webpage (could be copy-vio?). Its horrible vacuous management speak. As it stands this article is horrible. But, the company owns Graceland and the rights to Elvis Presley's image. That's pretty notable. I'd much rather see this properly wikified and expaanded than just deleted. Like it or not, companies like this are an important part of our contemporary world and an encyclopedia should cover them. Sigh, Gwernol 18:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Almighty Saints

Original research, gangcruft. While this may be a legitimate gang, all of the information in the article comes from "Official gang websites" and not from other sources. As gangmembers themselves are likely writing this page and the source sites, this thus qualifies as original research. I had tagged it at one point for cleanup, the successive editors 70.235.210.206 (talk • contribs) and Samtron (talk • contribs) simply removed the tags without further edits. The first editor has only done one edit to WP, this article. The latter editor has only worked on two articles, this one and People Nation, an article which may be gang/listcruft, but at least it's not original research, as it has a valid reference. み使い Mitsukai 14:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment: Frankly, that one is close to gangcruft as well, as the vast majority of it is unverified and original research. It hasn't been AFD'd because 1. it's got a legitmate link, unlike the above article, and 2. I wasn't aware of its existence. Bear in mind that now that you've mentioned it, it will probably be looked at and some editor may decide to put it up for AFD as well.--み使い Mitsukai 18:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Gang life is a real in Chicago. As for what I know about the Roman Saints, or the later the Saints, the author has taken great pain in putting together the history of a club where there wasn't a lot of references. Considering that Wikipedia allowed someone to refer to the Hells Angels as a motorcycle Gang verses a MC Club, I think the Saints entry has a lot of merit. Unless Wikipedia wants to eliminate the history of gangs altogether - which means Al Capone, John Gotti, and any organized crime must be deleted, I think gangs are a big part of American History. PS: There are people who are interested in gangs and study them, plain and simple, and are not gang members.151.198.117.251 06:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)151.198.117.251 18:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)jbutera

I suggest this author then provide some links that prove the gang exists or was a part of Chicago History like: The Saints to help the people understand better. jbutera 00:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC)jbutera

  • Keep. This gang is real and the article probably just needs to be cleaned up. Not sure why people think this is a hoax when the Chicago Tribune did a feature on the gang and its history in 1998 [22] -- JJay 03:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't recall anyone saying it was a hoax. What the charge is that it is original research, which is a different problem altogether.--み使い Mitsukai 03:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Please read the comments on this page. Other than that, large swathes of the article are confirmed by the TRib and I think there are other good sources available. -- JJay 03:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
        • I am reposting what I mentioned to Jbutera on his talk page:

The problem with the two articles is not that they're fake - I'm well aware that these gangs likely do exist (I'm not from Chicago, so I don't know). The problem is that they are both original research, and not cited for the most part (in fact, when I nominated the Almighty Saints article, it had no sources, and it wasn't until the first one was AFD'd that both articles got some sort of slap-dash citations). The websites they lead to are written by gangmembers, not news organizations, law enforcement agencies or whatever, so they can't be taken as accurate, even if they likely are. As an extreme example, someone could write on one of those pages that "We have nuclear weapons", and there'd be no way to verify it, other than to take them at their word. That's original research, and that goes against WP:NOR, which is WP policy. If someone can actually give valid (news, law enforcement, etc.) references, that may sway the vote. But until then, my vote on it stands, and if Latin Kings isn't fixed in another week, I'm going to recommend that article for AFD as well.

It's been a few days since, and I have yet to see any real change on either article, despite others stating that it's all verifiable, even from the Tribune, as you say. If that is the case, then citations need to be made, not just slapping an article from the web as has been done with both articles. I have no problem with gang pages being on WP if they're notable. I do have a problem with the original research. If an editor is calling it a hoax, it's not because (s)he doesn't know, it's because there's nothing to back it up.--み使い Mitsukai 04:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Look, I just discovered this AfD last night and it took me just five minutes to find the Trib feature. Why didn't you post the Trib feature? Why didn't you correct the two editors on this page who followed your lead and called this gang a hoax? Why didn't you leave a message on the article talk page asking for more references? Did you even try to find references for the article yourself? Its very easy to call something OR when you know nothing about the subject and then refuse any that are provided. Lastly, where is the proof for the bizarre, and borderline slanderous accusations that "gangmembers" are writing this article (not that it even matters)?-- JJay 13:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep & work with it Needs work, possible cutting of OR, and better verification, but this is a case for the cleanup squad, not AfD. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 00:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep still problems with OR so still some further cleanup required despite the addition of some sources. Also I'm further concerned re notability - is this really a notable group of people? A google search for "almighty saints" gang doesn't throw up too many responses. I have a lot of sympathy for Mitsukai's position and it's only my lack of context to compare notability of minor gangs that makes me lean away from delete. On the subject of gangs, it is right to be cautious about fansite style references and if I had come across the article, I may well have AfD'd it myself as a google search for "almighty saints" doesn't throw up a promising start as Southampton football club dominate the early hits. MLA 10:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Franczek Piper

Delete - Not notable, possible hoax. This article was bravely created in the ongoing campaign to reduce WP:AR2, usually a good thing ... however, after consideration, I think it should go. Other than Wikipedia Requested Articles there is only 1 hit on Google, only one source that such a person ever existed, or said what he is supposed to have said, and that source is ... let's say controversial. I'm all for keeping notable crankcruft, but this is non-notable crankcruft. GRuban 15:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of charities

A list with greater scope than can be covered in a wikipedia article. The number of charities in the world is likely to be at least many thousands given that it is a legal status rather than anything to do with doing good. It is not possible to document the entire list and in any case this list is redundant with Category:Charities. The prospect of deletion has been raised on the talk page. MLA 15:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete A complete list of charities for all of the countries listed? The Charity Commission in the UK listed [167,466 charities on its register by December 2005. How many hundreds and thousands of others would be needed from each country to make this list approach comprehensiveness? The list would be useless to a researcher.  (aeropagitica)  15:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This page is always going to be prone to POV, systemic bias, linkspam, and fraud. It also gives the appearance that Wikipedia endorses or recommends the listed charities, or that a listing here implies legitimacy. An earlier deleted version was created as a way to promote disaster relief (even Jimbo weighed in on the edit war).

[edit] G. Patrick Maxwell

Handsome, no doubt a good surgeon, and clearly merits footnotes on some pages, but is he encyclopaedic? Midgley (talk • contribs)

  • Delete NN. Also, despite attempts to tone it down, still reads like an ad for a boob-job, face lift, lipo and botox clinic. Fan1967 21:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If the claims in the article can be verified then Mr Maxwell may well be encyclopædic. Someone who has refined surgical procedures and started continuing plastic surgery programmes & enjoyed a Fellowship at Johns Hopkins shouldn't be brushed aside without at least a chance to determine their notability status.  (aeropagitica)  21:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete If he is that important in the plastic surgery community, someone will come and write a non-advertisement-looking entry. Too many unsupported claims. Evillan 21:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • keep: AfD seems woefully premature, as the article's creator has not had a reasonable chance to provide verification of notability claims. As the article stands, however, the claims seem somewhat marginal. Ombudsman 21:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, apparently viewed as notable by those who cover his field [25]. Monicasdude 22:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment are there many fellows at Johns Hopkins? http://search.jhmi.edu/query.html?qt=fellowships&imageField.x=0&imageField.y=0&imageField=Search Looks like quite a lot. In the UK Fellowship seems to be registrar level, and everyone is expected to publish something. Midgley 23:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment reply Yes there are lots of Fellows at Johns Hopkins at any one time. Dr. Maxwell was there almost 30 years ago. It's his contributions in that interval which have been pretty extraordinary Droliver 03:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • (I've indented that) FOr a general encyclopaedia it probably needs to be brought out rather more what they are. Free flaps are very clever, but would a reader be given an understanding of what they are, and what the improvement by the subject was that is notable? We are clearly going to keep this one, but WP:IS NOT a directory of surgeons, and WP:BIO should not be a hagiography, and should provide context. Midgley 11:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per MD; notable achievements Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 00:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As someone who actually practices in the field of Plastic Surgery (and was one of Dr. Maxwell's former fellows) I can tell you that he is arguably THE premier breast surgeon in the world & one of the world's authorities on cosmetic and breast surgery. He travels all over the world as the featured invited lecturer on symposiums on breast cancer and plastic surgery. In an era where Dr. 90210 is Plastic Surgery to TV viewers, Dr. Maxwell is kind of an "inside baseball" celebrity (ironically Dr. Rey from Dr. 90210 sent 2-3 patients a week when I was there that he was afraid to operate on to Nashville from California). If someone of his stature in the field doesn't meet standards for inclusion here, then I don't think anyone would. Droliver 02:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, he certainly seems to have enough publications. Catamorphism 03:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • comment There are actually a large number of publications that he has that I know don't show up on Pubmed including a large number of papers, textbook chapters, instructional inserts/videos Droliver 03:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • comment textbook chapters are notable, I'd say. A reference in publications with title and ISBN would be appropriate. Midgley 11:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • comment reply I added some more references I found google-ing. I'll try to figure out the ISBN tags. I edited some of the text to tone down what someone felt was too promotional (which is ironic as he doesn't advertise his practice at all)
  • Weak delete. While he has an opinion expressed in public and a number of journal articles, there is little to suggest he is more notable than the 1000s of other US plastic surgeons. JFW | T@lk 22:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    • In other words, we need proof that he is more notable, e.g. description as "THE premier breast surgeon in the world" by an authoratitive source. JFW | T@lk 22:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    • If dozens of peer reviewed papers, book chapters, visiting professorships, and the like aren't enough to convince our community her, I don't know what it would take? If you know a Plastic Surgeon, ask him who Pat Maxwell is & I guarentee 100% of them will tell you exactly who he is and his level of respect in the field around the world. He is a really heavy-hitter in the field and recognized as such Droliver 01:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: Monicasdude pointed out press coverage, the guy's got a 20-year publication record, and not just any doctor gets to be a professor of medicine: unlike most other fields, profs of medicine are not junior academics. And he's a prof at Vanderbilt, a reputable university. More importantly, plenty of decent, verifiable information. Mangojuice 20:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Person is not notable enough to merit an entry. Satch 21:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep In the librarian profession, he's quite notable, being the director of the largest library association in the world. As far as WP:BIO goes, he's co-authored six books which I think meet the author guidelines. I'm aware that WP:BIO doesn't do much to address people who are notable in their field and unknown out of it, but probably every librarian in the US knows this guy.

  • Keep per Jessamyn. Monicasdude 22:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the author and I went to the criteria for inclusion [26]. Here are the criteria that Mr. Fiels meets:
  1. Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature. [While he is not strictly political, it is a national/international organization which he runs.]
  2. Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more [He has written six books for the profession, and regularly writes for American Libraries which has a circulation of over 70,000 monthly.]
  3. 100 year test (future speculation) -- In 100 years time will anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful?
  4. 100 year test (past speculation) -- If we had comparable verifiable information on a person from 100 years ago, would anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful today?

  • Weak keep, or merge as per AKMask; relatively minor character who appeared in more TNG episodes. Preferably, I'd actually advocate for developing a List of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters (a la dedicated DS9 list) and merging it (and other minor characters) with that: the current single list of Star Trek characters (which can link to sublists) is already somewhat long and unwieldy.

[edit] OBJECTIVE: Christian Ministries

This page fails WP:WEB, which states that a site is notable if "the content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself; the website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation; or the content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." OBJECTIVE: Christian Ministries does none of these things. Its biggest claim to notability appears to be a brief traffic spike due to a YTMND page about it a couple weeks ago. Its Alexa rank is in the neighborhood of 250,000. Delete. JDoorjam Talk 21:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:WEB. If we can find that this topic has gotten significant coverage in reputable sources, I may reconsider. We don't need to document the internet as it happens- the Net itself does this. Wikipedia is not google. Friday (talk) 22:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment on the talk page is mention that this site was the home to the (briefly) famous "OS X/Darwin is evil" article, which was featured on slashdot (the ./ story links to an old host, so is 404) and elsewhere, and still gets mentioned every so often. Not sure if that tips the scales for anybody. I say keep, but I'm a fan of the site, so not very objective. Staecker 00:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Is there a good source that cites that? Simply googling it and posting the results would violoate WP:NOR; did a reliable source ever document this confusion? JDoorjam Talk 05:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Not that I am aware of, but that's an issue for verifiability, so it wouldn't be able to go in the page. However, it valid as evidence of notability. JoshuaZ 05:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • The slashdot story itself was posted by somebody who believed it to be a non-hoax. Many user comments showed further confusion. Staecker 13:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not encyclopedic --Doc ask? 09:53, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The article doesn't provide much of a claim to notability, and what's there isn't externally sourced. Xoloz 13:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • It's an encyclopedic topic in my view, except for apparently low notability. Alexa may be all wonky because of the name changes of the site... it may be higher than it looks. I couldn't find many inbound links via a search on Google though so I'm thinking not MUCH higher. Unless further notability information is offered in which case I'll try to come back and change my sentiment, Delete ++Lar: t/c 13:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is such a well done hoax site that we should be cognizant of the likelyhood of people coming here to verify its status as a hoax or real. I get over 20,000 hits on Google (search term: "Objective Ministries" OR "Objective Christian Ministries" OR "ObjectiveMinistries" OR "Objective 4Kidz"), with only a few false positives. Even if it doesn't strictly meet WP:WEB, I think we should make an exception here because Wikipedia is not paper and the site is close enough to notability under WP:WEB that other considerations should be taken into account. Powers 13:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I recall perusing this site a year or so ago; might have been mentioned in the same context as Landover Baptist. Web notability is probably hard to verify via Google because of name changes. OhNoitsJamieTalk 23:27, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I for one wanted more information about this site, and since it is such an elaborate hoax plus it has gone through several name changes, it's not an easy task. This site has been also been discussed at The Mac Observer.Bjorneven 00:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable hoax site. Agree that the general slipperiness of the site makes verifiability difficult, but also agree with the fact that the poker-facedness of the site makes it a likely Wikipedia target. (Incidentally, if anyone can find a valid source for the fact that it's a Zapatatopi side project as asserted on the talk page, it belongs in the article.) Haikupoet 04:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable author with 94 Google hits. Fails WP:BIO (I originally listed this article for speedy deletion, but inexplicably, someone didn't think it qualified under CSD G7).

  • Delete while it would be rather interesting to have an article on each of the world's buses, it would take an incredibly enormous amount of space and wouldn't meet any of the current requirements for notability and wouldn't be especially encyclopedic. Perhaps someone should start a wiki on buses though?? :-). Cool3 22:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete -- believe it or not, there is a place for such information, but it sure as hell isn't on Wikipedia. There is no possible way an individual bus (or subway train car) could be notable. Haikupoet 04:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Good Marketing

Delete as advertisement for telemarketing software. Bugwit grunt / scribbles 22:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I am working to remove all advertisement from this article. Any guidance on specific verbage that is problematic would be appreciated. Jared 22:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I have made some substantial changes to the page. Rather than just opting to delete the page please advise on any additional changes to the article if possible. Jared 23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • 'From my comments on the Bill Good Marketing Talk Page:
  • No offense, Jared, but a simple internet search would tell people what your company does...it doesn't take a Wikipedia article to figure it out. From what I have found on the company, I find it difficult to believe that anyone "reading about it" would need any further background information that requires a Wiki article. The fact that you work for the company doesn't help, either, but rather makes it look more like an attempt at advertisement. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 23:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable business (irrespective of whether the article becomes less of an ad, although surely I'm happy that Jared was willing to try adapt the article to Wikipedia standards). Joe 23:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I also have to question the validity of the article Bill-Good, which is written by the same author, and contains uncited claims which seem to make the subject notable at first glance, but (to me at least), if you look closely, these uncited claims to fame are not all that notable (e.g. "Fresh out of college, Bill was a statistical analyst in New York with Alan Greenspan"--that's awfully vague about the relationship with Mr. Greenspan). I'll refrain for now from making any move toward deletion, but if someone is so inclined to look into it further... --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 03:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Burke

This page is ostensibly about an Australian footballer but turns out to be bizarre when read closely. Smells like hoax, but may also be attempt to attack little-known real person. The googles, they find nothing! Henning Makholm 23:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

However, as a Kangaroos supporter I have never heard of him and a Google search for him comes up with nothing. [28] Capitalistroadster 02:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep He is definitely real, it's slightly satirical but he did play for the Kangaroos. He didn't play 250+ games with the Kangaroos though he did play that many with North/Port Melbourne combined. The picture is of his son, but I've been told they are spitting images of each other. edit - it appears that it has become an 'attack page'.

[edit] Sweden democrats Nordic Council story

This seems to be a statement of personal opinion on a current event. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Schzmo 23:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep You have missuderstood!. Søren Espersen is the spokesman for Danish Peoples’s party regarding foreign affairs and a member of the Nordic Council. This was brought to the highest level and was answered by the Swedish minister for Democracy. This story was reported in Danish and Swedish Media.

There is of course official dokuments on the Nordic Council's website regarding this. I want to include this story in the Swedish Democrats page, but its to big so i thougt its better to make just a summary there and refere to the whole story. I needed a place to work with it. If there is a problem i will ask Søren Espersen permission to translate this document.SweHomer

The letter is from Søren Espersen own homepage, and a copy if this letter was brought to the Nordic Council as an official matter. I will of cource put the whole story there, but i must start somwhere.SweHomer 23:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment: "I needed a place to work with it." — you should have created this as a subpage of your user page, then. Preparations for a full article should be done in user space, not in article space. No one would have complained. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 03:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Effectivity

Delete. Apparent commercial/vanity page (article's creator is one of the subjects and all his edits appear to be done to point at this page.) --Calair 23:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as clearly advertising for non-notable company. Joe 23:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. ¡Dustimagic! (T/C) 04:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but remove individuals names. Effectivity is currently used with different meanings, among which definition mentioned. It is not the same as effectiveness and/or efficiency. The word cannot be found in older dictionaries.
  • I'm not opposed to a genuine article about effectivity (either here or on Wiktionary, depending on content) but I think it would be better to delete and start over than attempt to salvage this version. While some of the more flagrant bits have been deleted, it's still written more like a sales pitch than an encyclopaedia article. (Note that it still claims 'effectivity' as a trademarked term - so this is really an article about one non-notable company's marketing of the concept, rather than the concept as a whole.) --Calair 22:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Muhammad ibn Ja'far

Non-notable →AzaToth 23:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Although from this link it appears that he was "a companion" to the Prophet Muhammad, the article doesn't assert his notability, and I'm not sure how significant companions to the Prophet are. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 23:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's important to the national security of the U.S. of A. (Love it or leave it!) to have as much information as possible about Moslem historical figures. The Danes got their asses handed to them for offending Islam. We don't want to make the same mistake. Brian G. Crawford 00:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notability standard for historical article is different to current topics - if theres still information on them after 1500 years than its notable -- Astrokey44|talk 02:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Companions of the Prophet are inherently notable (see Sahaba); however, I can't find very good evidence through google that he was one. If he was, it's a definite keep. If not, he may not be particularly notable, but I see his name in lists of hadith transmissions, so he does have some notability there, in which case I would downgrade my vote weak keep. It'd be nice to know the details, but probably requires an Islamic library to which I do not have access. bikeable (talk) 03:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Based on the genealogy provided, the man was a first cousin, once removed of Muhammad. His father Ja'far ibn Abu Talib was a son of Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib and a nephew of Abd-Allah ibn Abd-al-Muttalib. Abd-Allah ibn Abd-al-Muttalib was the father of Prophet Muhammad. Perhaps his familial connections should be clarified? User:Dimadick

  • Keep and cleanup, 186 ghits for "Elena Maria Vidal" [29], 778 for "Elena Vidal" [30]. "Madame Royale" ranks 274,912 on Amazon. [31] That should be some measure of her notability. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 00:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Cleanup and keep I agree with Kimchi.sg. I'd rather see this article improved, as Vidal seems to be notable. Perhaps appropriate {{cleanup}} and {{expand}} tags is a better way to go? Gwernol 00:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UKSPI

  • Delete - This page was added by User:Anglokurisu who has simply added the same link to UKSPI to a range of pages related to the paranormal, UKSPI is obviously an organisation he/she has affiliation with. Therefore this page is simply self-promotion and of no value to Wikipedia. Solar 00:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - UKSPI is concerned with research within the paranormal, and is recognised by a number of institutions include Universities in the UK. Other people who are affiliated with the paranormal have added their own articles such as Jason Karl and Phil Wyman, all of which are no long affilated with the paranormal. Also UKSPI was the only research group added to the links, the rest were from information relayed from the research conducted by organisations such as UKSPI. UKSPI is relevant to Wikipeida as it fields research into the paranormal, not only by existance of ghosts, but also the on going psychological study of paranormal experiences in the UK. This is not against the Wikipedia rules as the theories and ideas have not been added to Wikipedia. - Anglokurisu

[edit] Sockpuppet or Anonymous Votes and Comments

  • Keep - UKSPI seems to have a lot of information on their website that could be vital to people studying or researching the paranormal. I do not believe this is self advertising, they are trying to help others by sharing their information and facts. They are one of the only paranormal links on this website that have such information avaliable to anyone who may need it.

UKSPI is a non-profit research group from he United Kingdom, and aims to answer one of the most debated questions through self-funded research. Spiritseekers are also linked on the paranormal webpage, yet only have 15 memebers.

  • Keep - This page does have significance to the field of paranormal research. There are a large number of groups who have their links on several paranormal groups, and from looking at their website they seem to be the only group with any sort of scientific research into the paranormal. I have seen other groups who are just as official as them such as Torro, who have been allowed to keep their page on there. It maybe self promotion, but it appears as if their research is vital to the paranormal field.
  • Do Not Delete- UKSPI seems to have a lot of information on their website that could be vital to people studying or researching the paranormal. I do not believe this is self advertising, they are trying to help others by sharing their information and facts. They are one of the only paranormal links on this website that have such information avaliable to anyone who may need it.
This comment is by user:Evenstarbabe, who has no other edits. She is certainly a sock-puppet, thus this vote is discounted. -- Zanimum 15:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I will delete the article, nothing is worth this hassle. I believe UKSPI to have significance to Wikipedia, but it appears that a large well known English Organisation cannot be added onto Wikipedia. I believe this to be a mass injudice, but I will no longer risk the professionalism of UKSPI but arguing with the members of Wikipedia. I am deleting the article now. So don't bother with the voting, enough people view our website on a much more dignified website such as Google, who have always been supportive of us.

Google records everything. It doesn't support anything (ignoring Google.org). There's simply no way to verify the information. Sorry. -- Zanimum 21:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
