[edit] Ivan Shokoloff

Almost certainly hoax. No Google hit on neither English or Russian name (there is unrelated Russian emigre composer Ivan Sokolov, living in France, the Soviet composer of such prominence that he influenced Stravinsky as claimed in [1] would certainly be known at least to the Russian section of Internet. Both book references appear to be bogus abakharev 00:10, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, hoax. Thanks Alex for starting this page (I was going to do it later tonight). Zero google, and utterly fails WP:Verifiability. There's no way an obscure Russian composer, just demobilised after WWII, unpublished in the west, could have influenced Babbitt's seminal 1946 work in total serialism (Three Compositions for Piano) -- or been plagiarised by him. Oh, and there is not a single hit on his name in the monumental New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Antandrus (talk) 00:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:V. I don't know if this is a total hoax, or just a non-notable person whose importance is being inflated. Sometimes there are issues with how Russian names are rendered in English, and it's possible he might show up somewhere under a different spelling. Clearly he's not either of the two notable Ivan Sokolovs, the Russian pianist/composer born 1960 or the Bosnian/Dutch chess master born 1968. Fan1967 00:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The second reference is an uncorrected cut-and-paste job from the online catalog of the Library of Congress about Russian censorship in the 1860-1870s. I guess somebody has been listening to too much P. D. Q. Bach lately :) Ahasuerus 00:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nihau

Is this a joke? Created by an anonymous user (with quite a bit of past vandalism) about 10 months ago, this article claims to be about a Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame player who hit 741 home runs. I don't know Japanese, but he's not on the list of players in the Hall of Fame, and he's not mentioned in the Japanese Baseball article in my 1995 edition of Total Baseball (which has biographies of twenty or so Japanese greats). I smell a hoax. Andrew Levine 00:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Key to the Living/The Key to the Dead

I'm really not sure about this. It sounds believable, but I can't find any reference to any of it anywhere on the internet, which leads me to think it's a hoax. Also, it's the author's only contribution and his/her userpage says "Jest R Wicked is a Frustrated Writer of Dark Children’s Books." I'd like to be proved wrong, but I suspect it's not true. Cherry blossom tree 00:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

On re-re-evaluation, a keep. Authors often do research into old folk tales that may not be very common. Contact the author perhaps? +Hexagon1 (talk) 11:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Very interesting to me personally, but not verifiable, no hits on Google, not enough context to persue verifiability. In short, a great piece of work that doesn't belong on Wikipedia unless someone can dig up some backing for it. Dalamori 02:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I suspect that this article may come from a piece of contemporary fiction rather then folklore or mythology. Seano1 22:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - This is myth=a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief. It is distinguished from symbolic behaviour (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects (temples, icons). Myths are specific accounts of gods or superhuman beings... I don't know if it is verifiable. But has merit for now don't delete it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ryan250 (talk • contribs).Moved from top of the page for organizational purposes by Hexagon1
  • Comment I understand that it's a myth, but I can't find any reference to any of it, anywhere on the internet. I'd love to keep it if there's a way of establishing that it is a real myth, rather than something the user in question has just made up.--Cherry blossom tree 11:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Let's wait for a response from the author, if we don't get any then delete it is. +Hexagon1 (talk) 11:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I quite agree. Even if the response comes after this has closed I doubt anyone would object to undeleting it if there were references to add.--Cherry blossom tree 12:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Response About ten years ago or so I was working in the secured Unit of and old Long Term Care Hospital and came amazingly upon two sisters whom suffered from Alzheimer’s. They BOTH however told me on separate occasions the story as related to them by their supposed Gypsy Traveler Mother. Their mother had apparently learned of the myth by way of a man claiming to be of the O'Tool linage, and was still carrying the curse of his ancestors. I apologize for not having any verifiable online information to make the story more credible, but it comes to me from more of a verbal history and is such an amazing one that I just had to include it. jestrwicked 17:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

According to the official ratings, the show was watched by an estimated 1.5million viewers when it was first shown. In comparison, the show "Get Famous, Get Fit, Get Rich: Celebrity Fitness Videos... Exposed" on a rival channel in roughly the same time slot attracted 1.3 million viewers.

TV ratings: January 2 3 January 2006, The Guardian TV overnights: Ken Stott was an instant hit in his new role as Edinburgh detective John Rebus last night, with his first outing attracting 8.4 million viewers to ITV1. Rebus got the better of BBC1's terrestrial movie premiere, Catch Me if You Can, which attracted 6.1 million viewers and a 24% audience share between 8.30pm and 10.45pm. On BBC2 from 9pm, Victoria Coren's new factual show about the origin of popular words and phrases, Balderdash & Piffle, made a promising start, drawing 3.2 million viewers and a 12% audience share over 50 minutes. The former ITV director of programmes, David Liddiment, asked Who Killed the British Sitcom? in a Channel 4 documentary between 9pm and 10.15pm, winning 1 million viewers and a 4% audience share. Then for 100 minutes from 10.15pm on Channel 4, list show The Ultimate Sitcom grabbed 1.5 million viewers and a 10% audience share. Channel Five preyed on viewers' concerns about festive excess from 9pm, with documentary Larger than Life - Eating Themselves to Death consumed by 2.1 million viewers, a 8% audience share. On the same channel between 10pm and 11pm, another topical treat - Get Famous, Get Fit, Get Rich: Celebrity Fitness Videos ... Exposed - drew 1.3 million viewers and a 6% audience share. Critically lauded BBC4 comedy The Thick of It made a steady start on BBC2 last night, attracting 1.6 million viewers and a 7% audience share between 10pm and 10.30pm.

[edit] Statistical Analysis and Design of Integrated Circuits

This article reads like an abstract to what could be an interesting paper in an IEEE publication. It is more or less copied from a newsletter that reports recent research in the digital design field. [4] As such it contains a very well written intro, but zero development or real encyclopedic content. Furthermore, the topic is so specific and specialized to digital design EE, I can't see it ever being improved into a readily-accessible encyclopedia article. Short summary: unencyclopedic. -- uberpenguin @ 2006-03-26 02:49Z

  • Weak delete I understand the nom's concerns, but I am not sure that they are insurmountable. kotepho 03:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Perhaps not insurmountable, but if the article were fleshed out into something complete, I suspect you'd need either a EE degree or digital design experience to even grasp the relevance of the topic. In other words, the topic itself is interesting and relevant for me as a EE, but highly inaccessible to the average reader. (IMHO) -- uberpenguin @ 2006-03-26 03:32Z 03:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete I vehemently disagree with nom's assertion that some things are too confusing or arcane to add articles on, but feel we should delete this particular article anyways. Wikipedia is not the place for statistical analysis; statistical analysis is subjective, not objective. Dalamori 03:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Change to above On further examination: While the article does seem to engage in summary reporting of the results of statistical analysis, the article also seems to cover the topic of methods of statistical analysis of integrated circuits, which is relevant, and does not seem to merit deletion. Although, I would support moving that content to an article that was better prepared to handle that content. Dalamori 03:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi - this article is on a non-notable person. It has been created by a relative of this person. Although I empathize with this person (made a similar article myself), I must submit it for deletion. Rama's Arrow 21:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge with Chrysler K platform, where it deserves a slight mention. The G platform was just a stretched-wheelbase version of the K platform, which Chrysler used for damn near all its models from 1980-1993. It was not a separate platform in any meaningful sense. I second Eivind's suggestion, above. ProhibitOnions 21:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as per ProhibitOnions. Some pervious voters don’t seem to understand what a platform is. It’s not a model of car. But is the basic design the car is built on. See Automobile platform. Seano1 23:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge. Now that I see all these being put up for deletion, I think it would now be wise to merge them with the Chrysler K platform page (but with the Chrysler B platform page in the case of the R-body) and create sub-sections for them on those aforementioned pages. --ApolloBoy 06:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete, We are fans and followers of this band and stand by the article as a whole. We tried to help edit the article today for the author and if there is something that needs to be change then we have no problems with that but to delete it seems to be a more personal issue with these users and not a fair action. We were to be making donations to this site but if this is how they will handle articles that we find relevant then we must reconsider since we thought this was a site based on information for those that wish to seek it not bias negative feedback from those who don't speak for us or the fans of this band.

  • Delete, maybe in a few years, it'll be notable :). Gflores Talk 06:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE I think it's a bit ridiculous that a site that is made to provide information for people would try to delete a band bio page that provides information for it's fans. I have seen other bios on this site and do not see that this bio is any less adequate to be left on the site. Furthermore why would you delete a webpage that provides information about Controversy Kills on the basis that when you "google" them you find no information. It only seem logical that in order to solve that oh so horrible problem that you would need to create pages like this one to provide the informaiton people are looking for. As far as I can tell, the only reason people have wanted this page deleted because they personally don't have a preference for the band. Although I'm sure it seems the world should revolve around their whims and desires, I just don't see that it is valid reasoning for deleting the page of band who is just trying to get their information out their for people to see.LOGIC No such user; comment actually by User:68.220.87.26.
    • Unfortunetly, we can't keep an article that asserts no nobility just for the sake of a few fans. If you really want to post information about your band on the internet, you could always go to MySpace--TBC??? ??? ??? 07:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE, Just because it's not notable to you doesnt mean it's not to us. This doesnt hurt you then why degrade as if it does? It helps the people that are interested in what it has to say to able to access it and to delete shows us that maybe this site isn't as notable as I thought it was since it can't provide information on something we are interested in knowing about. As per the person above that was going to make a donation but was rethinking that now, I side with them, since my family wanted to provide a donation to something that we once consider a vital site, we must know look to see this as a site that only wants to provide information that is of interest to them. I think to have anyone one person that is interested in information about this band is more enough reason to keep it. If this is so then I will make my familys donation. Thank you for your time.

  • DO NOT DELETE!!!!!!!! This is a great band, and deleting someone trying to further their career by spreading their image/information is rude and unnecessary. Everyone needs a chance, and how are they supposed to become relevant enough to pass WP:BAND if their profiles are deleted?!(UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.67.253.203 (talk • contribs).
  • Delete per nom, Wikipedia is not for career promotion. First you get famous, then you get the article, not the other way round. Sandstein 07:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • You keep posting your band comments and we are the ones that worked on it, not the band though we would had loved to get there insight on this article. Do we really need a thousand people to say the samething here? We love the site and we love the fact this article is on here. Why delete something we enjoy that brings no harm to you. If this how your editors work, then maybe they need to understand what is important to the some of the people who use this site and not just their own opinion of what is important. Why fight about this? Can't we just agree that some things are not for everyone but are important enough to have up for those of us who need it can come look at it here? Fans of CK 07:20, 26 March 2006

Don't Delete: Why be so harsh they are a good band trying to get their share of the wealth in this world.

      • Don't delete this band. How are they ever supposed to get ahead if nobody will help them just a little bit? These things take a lot of time and a lot of effort, and deleting this will hurt them a lot more than keeping it will hurt you.***
  • Comment: The sockpuppetry and ignoring of all rules by the anonymous/new editors is not helping their case. It borders on trolling. I hereby petition any administrator to consider early closure per WP:SNOW. --Kinu t/c 07:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • And you say our user name doesnt exist? We are fans of CK whats wrong with saying that? This is starting to get crazy. What do you guys have against this band?Fans of CK or to make it clear for the person that finds a reason to "correct" everything we say ,our sign in name is controversy kills
  • Speedy delete per Kinu. dbtfztalk 07:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Your going to delete this no matter what we want and the staff is not being clear with whats really wrong with the article. They choose to try to make us look like fools for liking this band this much. So if thats what you are going to do then I guess it doesnt matter what we say.controversy kills

However, the only site I could find using "Controversy Kills" tour outside the bands page was reference in the Connecticut Post in a Battle of the Bands competition.

[edit] The Kudzu Gazette

Wikipedia is NOT a soapbox or an indiscriminate collection of information (things this page seem to be.) AfD IS a forum to discuss the merits of articles though. Student publications have been an ambiguous area of notability to me and I would like to see some dicussion about it (so I brought it here instead of prodding the article), but I think this particular one should be deleted as vanity.

[edit] International Day of the Birds

Probably a hoax. If the day exists at all, which it may, I doubt it exists on April 1 (April Fool's Day, of course). On the other hand, Google does show a few results that appear to be reliable - they have different dates, they don't seem to align with what the article says, but an International Day of the Birds may well exist. If it does, though, I don't think it's notable, and it should be deleted. zafiroblue05 | Talk 03:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment, the article still fails notability. It was an international group that existed for less than ten years--when the POR was a shell of its former self. Except for POR, none of the groups in this international are notworthy. --metzerly 15:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment. notability is something relative. For someone doing research on developments of trotskyist movements in Latin America, its highly relevant to know what happened to POR's international relations.

Knowing them is important, because after the war, "the opposition of these 80 people received an increased recognition" [15]. Those who didn't oppose basically killed their political career afterwards and those who opposed formed of the post-war politics. Tony Bruguier 16:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Very Strong Keep. The 80 members of the French parliament who voted against the instauration of the Vichy regime have been celebrated as heros in France since WWII. Their action was one of the first open signs of resistance to the German occupiers, coming very shortly after Degaulle's Appel of June 18. Like the resistance fighters, their refusal to rubber stamp Vichy allowed France to save face after the war. I object to this nom that refuses to examine the issues involved and appeal to voters to reconsider. -- JJay 14:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per JJay. Mackan 14:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is not a 'normal' vote, those voting against faced arrest for voting against the establishment of a puppet regime. That doesn't happen every day. Voting to delete this is almost as odd as removing a list of the names of signatories to the US declaration of independence. Average Earthman 15:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. While I agree that "Wikipedia is not the parliamentary record", this is not a regular vote. This law terminated a 70-year old constitution and started a new form of government. As per Avergae Earthman, Wikipedia keeps the list of those who signed the Declaration of Independence. Regarding Rory's WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information, students are this in high school in France (see also this) and removing the article would be POV against non-English speaking part of the World's history. I agree there is a threshold to decide, but if wikipedia keeps this one (sorry for the fans), then I think we should have the list. Tony Bruguier 16:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, as long as the precedent this sets is clear: this article is being kept because it is a vote of historical significance. Not because we want to keep general parliamentary records. --Deville (Talk) 16:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. While Wikipedia cannot list the outcomes of routine legislative decisions, a vote that actually changed the form of government for this country cannot be regarded as routine. Due to its historic importance (the French Resistance, postwar politics, etc.) this is actually one of Wikipedia's more important lists. This isn't a paper encyclopedia: let's keep a few electrons busy for serious students of history. Durova 16:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. As above, this is not unlike a list of the signers of the declaration of independence. The act of voting against was very important and had a strong impact, Wikipedia should definitely maintain this list as thoroughly notable and encyclopedic. If we delete this, it will establish a precednt under which I would almost feel obligated to nominate every list in Wikipedia for deletion. Cool3 20:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment According to IMDB, looks to be a very, very, very low-budget horror film that went straight to video. The same cast and crew have done two others since, "Love & Plutonium" and "Weenie Roast Massacre" (not yet released). Nobody you've ever heard of was involved in any of these projects, and none of these people have ever been involved in anything you've heard of. Fan1967 00:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep, though I personally think it would be better served by a single article on Loose Change Entertainment, and have mentions for each of their films, release dates, primary contributors, external links, etc. It would serve to establish collective notability, when a straight-to-video release, that most people have never heard of nor will never see, in an article by itself doesn't really do that. It should be noted that the IMDB entries for their movies and actors were written by one of their actor/directors and shouldn't really be considered a truly independent source. -Dawson 20:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I added this entry because the website wasn't around anymore, so I didn't know if/when anyone else would. As indicated, most of the content was humorous (as with The Best Page in the Universe), although the website did contribute original research in the Killian documents scandal. I knew that, due to its limited life and the limited scope of its (generally right-wing) audience, someone would try to delete it, so I hope those who vote first look at the links I posted, including those to the National Review Online, Free Republic, InstaPundit, and Andrew Sullivan. Allah Is in the House was important and influential in its time, so much so that it was difficult for me to find a right-wing political weblog whose archives didn't link to it. It would be a shame to see its entry deleted solely due to its now being defunct. Calbaer 20:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This article is being linked to today by Michelle Malkin at http://www.michellemalkin.com. Michelle is one of the biggest conversvative bloggers in the world and it is embarrassing that this article is being linked to while it is being considered for deletion. Since there is no consensus here to delete and we're close to the end of the five-day deletion process, I am going to end this AfD and remove the deletion notice.--Alabamaboy 16:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
And for what it's worth, the fact that this article is being linked to by Michelle Malkin (who has like 11.3 million Google hits), and that the person who is the subject of the article is guest-editing for her, seems to remove any question of whether or not the subject of the article is notable.--Alabamaboy 16:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of the New Jersey Devils

redundant copy from New Jersey Devils ccwaters 14:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Nomination is premature at best, someone just created it with edit summary "Moving to separate article, will expand this article and trim main one to move towards FA status". Gene Nygaard 14:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
If you put it that way, I'm just trying to save us the trouble of a merge request a few days from now. Find me any other sports team that has a standalone History article. ccwaters 14:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge. I agree that there's no reason for a separate article. Anything that might be here will obviously be in the Devils article. Bucketsofg 15:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The editors are trying to break up a large article into constituent parts, and this is a reasonable way to do it. Of course, this is assuming that the duplications which now exist between the two articles will be removed. --Deville (Talk) 16:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I'm the one who made this article, having split it off of the main page. Several teams have a separate history page; Arsenal F.C., New England Patriots and IFK Goteborg are three examples of featured articles that use a separate history page to prevent overcrowding the main article. Since I'm working on moving the Devils to potential FA status, I am using those two team articles that are already featured as templates. I will trim the history on the main article to bring it in line with proper standards; conversely I will expand the history article to include things not noteworthy enough to make the main page. Anthony Hit me up... 16:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Never noticed those before. The word count of the copy in History of the New England Patriots is roughly 8600 and the copy in the related section in New England Patriots#Franchise history is roughly 2000. The Patriots are a 46 yearold team. Compare that to the 1200 word count in the 24 yearold New Jersey Devils history. I could see such an article being warranted for an original six NHL franchise, but not such a relatively young team. ccwaters 17:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Granted they are a younger franchise, but they still have an extensive history, having been one of the most dominant and respected team of the last 10-15 years. As Gene Nygaard said above, I just created the article last night, and I haven't even had substantial time to work on either article yet. Please give it some time before AfD is considered. I understand your position, but let me flesh it out. If you still think it's excessive, then AfD it in a few weeks. But don't nip it in the bud before it has a chance to get going. Even if the main Devils article doesn't reach full FA status (for one reason or another), it will still be a vast improvement over what is there now. Anthony Hit me up... 17:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Weebl and Bob cartoons

A flash animation series. Surely one article on Weebl and Bob must be enough? Forty different articles on the episodes seem a bit much

I am also nominating all the indvidual episode entries (listes on the nominated page), that or merging SELECTED parts of them to the main article Weebl and Bob. Mackan 14:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Clear case of animacruft. Is the plan that we have the transcripts of every animation which appears on this website? --Deville (Talk) 16:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. This is totally misguided for these reasons:
    • The parent article is the current Macromedia Flash Cartoon Collaboration of the Week. No flash cartoon that isn't noteworthy would get this kind of attention.
    • This is more than just a list. It contains summaries and other information that are not readily available elsewhere.
    • Weebl and Bob are reasonably popular per Google. (Look at the number of search hits returned.)
    • Also, if you are going to delete this WaB list, then you also need to delete List of The Simpsons episodes to be consistent.
Nova SS 20:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey I agree on having an article on Weebl and Bob but having each for every single episode? Basically all they contain are the scripts, if you're that into it, look at the damn cartoon, it's on the web for free and they are really SHORT and simple. Concerning the List of Simpsons episodes, I don't think I'm the only one to realise that's a completely different thing. How well known do you think the average Simpsons episode is compared to a Weebl and Bob episode?? Weebl and Bob gets 40 000 hits, which I think is enough for ONE (1) article, but flash artist Joseph Blanchette aka Legendary Frog gets 47000 hits and he almost didn't get a single entry (see listed AFD). Weebl and Bob are well known and deserve an article but not every single episode does. Also, I appreciate the work of Macromedia Flash Cartoon Collaberation but if they spend all their energy towards writing an episode list for Weebl and Bob I think they are greatly misguided. There are so many famous flash artists not represented in Wikipedia, please write about them instead. And if you do, please use the category "Flash artist" I made recently. But don't waste your time here! Mackan 01:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
AFD's purpose is not for us to be server administrators. I am not aware of any Wikipedia disk shortage.
The only valid reason to delete these would be non-notability, and and as you seem to agree, Weebl and Bob are notable. Also, there is not a sliding scale of notability. Either it is notable or it isn't. If it is notable, then it is allowed the same privileges of any other notable subject. How deeply it is fleshed out depends entirely on user interest and content volume. Weebl and Bob will never have the level of detail as The Simpsons, but that's mainly because there's just less subject matter. As this example episode shows, there is enough detail to be extracted from individual episodes to justify a separate article.
If it's OK for The Simpsons to have episode lists, then it's OK for WaB to have episode lists.
Nova SS 01:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
There IS a "sliding scale of notability". Just because it's barely big enough to get one entry doesn't mean you can all of a sudden have 40 new about the same subject. Also, if Donkey_(Weebl_and_Bob_episode) is the best example you've got, I feel sorry for you. Besides the script there is one line ("This episode is the origin of Donkey, as well as the origin of the popular phrase "How rare!""). ""The origin of the popular phrase "How rare""??!?Mackan 02:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
This AFD is wrongheaded. Votes in favor of deletion are votes in favor of violating the policy laid out in "Arguments against deleting articles for non-notability" section of the Notability policy.[20] Also, votes in favor of deletion are votes against puppies and kittens. Do you hate puppies and kittens? Nova SS 02:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
That's not a policy (as explicitly stated on the top of the page, "This is not a policy or guideline"), that's an argument. And if you scroll up just a little bit you'll see there are also Arguments for deleting non-notable articles... which you obviously would know. Please don't throw around false accusations like that. Mackan 02:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
You're right: it's not a policy. It's a tool, and it is a valid yardstick for this AFD.
If that's not good enough, check out Jimbo Wales's comments on fame that have strong bearing on this AFD. Also check the discussion. As long as it's verifiable, and it is, then notability is unlikely to be a valid argument for deletion.
Again, it is not our job to be sys admins. I promise: Wikipedia has enough disk space, and nobody's asking for our help in reducing disk space by deleting verifiable information.
As to your other point, please tell me which of the arguments for deletion under non-notability apply that wouldn't be fully canceled by the counterarguments.
Nova SS 03:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
As it's just two lists of arguments, I don't think they are fully canceled by anything, I don't think that's the nature of what they are saying. They are both just examples of what some editors think (and as it says at the top of the page, not even what most editors think).Mackan 04:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I agree with Nova SS. --Jay(Reply) 23:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - This is a barely notable web-cartoon/animation, so we should have at least the entry for the cartoon itself. Having details, transcripts, and separate entries for all of the episodes (many less than 2 minutes), however, is a bit much, as is any comprehensive listing of them. This isn't the Simpsons, it's an obscure flash cartoon series. Ronabop 01:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, so obscure that it has its own plush dolls [21][22] and DVD[23] and a whole series has been featured on MTV UK[24]. Nova SS 01:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. These articles are in violation of several of the guidelines defined in [this document] (specified as guidelines: "A consensus was reached to accept the guidelines below. --InShaneee 05:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)"). Example: "Extensive quotation from episodes is a violation of copyright and unlikely to be fair use." "(elements best avoided:) A scene-by-scene synopsis. An overall plot summary is much better; the article should not attempt to be a replacement for watching the show itself, it should be about the show" The entire procedure defined in "Creating articles on television episodes" has not been followed. Under "Dealing with problem articles" it says short articles should be merged with the main article. It also says TV shows should generally not be listed for AfD; however, why I think some of the guidelines could be used for a flash show as well, it is obvious that a flash show is so much less notable than a TV show.Mackan 03:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I think I understand what you're proposing, and it makes far more sense than deleting List of Weebl and Bob cartoons. Nova SS 03:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm still proposing deleting the list, don't put words into my mouth. Well, I dunno, maybe the list could be kept but the individual episode entries are definately too much. Even the episode list seems so redundant, it seems like not even fans would care much about it.Mackan 04:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep --James 03:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge Bo-Lingua 06:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC) I don't think that we should have the texts of each, but a synopsis and notable bits would be a good idea to keep.
  • Keep the list plus synopses, Delete individual episode articles --Stevefarrell 11:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Could somebody relist this?

  • Keep I added this article because a lot of other CRM companies had been added to Wikipedia. The company (no I don't work for them but I have worked for several companies that use their products) is a large company and is quite notable in its chosen field. It is a product that is used quite heavily worldwide by many organisations and I feel that it should remain. True it isn't a product that the public as a whole would be aware of but it is heavily used in customer service organisations and many large companies for CRM functionality. Yes someone has turned this into a promo but I do feel that if the mention of this is removed then there are a lot more companies with articles on Wikipedia with considerably less notability that should be removed. Just read their website and check out how many customers use it, how many worldwide offices it has and the like and then tell me it isn't a notable company. Just because most people haven't heard of it doesn't make it non notable. Ben W Bell 11:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep this version. I agree with Ben W Bell, and request all voters here please voice another opinion in light of the information he has provided. Alexa isn't the only test of notability. I was concerned about the non-notability information provided in the initial nomination and now I have done more research it appears to be legitimately notable in it's own way. Unless their website is blatantly lying about the numbers of offices they have set up all round the world. There is obviously still a danger that the article will only be turned into a promo page again. ॐ Metta Bubble puff 09:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The article does needs substantial work. It doesn't state who started Pivotal, when CDC bought them, nor how their products are different than those of competitors, but the answer to that is to flesh out the piece and deglurge it of the puffery, not to delete it.

  • revert and keep (weakly). Given Ben Bell's comments above, I went through the edit history.

[edit] Sonic Riders 2

(My vote is Delete)The guy only said it might happen. The Game is just as planned as Sonic the Hedgehog Revolution. Ac1983fan 19:29, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Disagree And I can give you a few reasons why the article should stay:

  1. Even if it is a rumor, it shouldn't be deleted until someone can bring forth evidence that the game is not being produced. (Right now all evidence points to its creation.) If not it could still be developed as a rumored game that didn't come about, like the Sonic Crackers article, and would improve Wikipedia.
  2. You can't get more definite than "definitely yes".
    [25] Speaking at a press event in London this week, Yuda-san told Eurogamer, "there will be a sequel to Sonic Riders, and it will definitely be on PS3 and Xbox 360". Definitely, we responded, parrot-like to the last? "Yes."
    Besides in the article quoted it was dependent on Sonic Riders being successful, which it has been.
  3. That "the Game is just as planned as Sonic the Hedgehog Revolution" is not concrete rationale because Sonic Riders has actually come out, unlike the PS3 and 360 editions of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game). (said games are dependent on advertised earlier games so mentioned.)
  4. Unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't this have been discussed on the Sonic Riders 2 talk page before adding {{afd}} like that?

--DavidHOzAu 11:57, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Disagree Now that this is already an article, it makes no sense to delete it only to create one once again in the future. Since Sega started to release Sonic games ever year, this game shouldn't be that far off in the future. Lord Falcon 01:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete This same situation was discussed for the Zelda DS article just a few days ago. The result was to delete. The reasoning is that currently there's just not enough information for these kinds of announcements to warrant their own articles. There's nothing in this article that couldn't just be said in one or two sentences on the Sonic Riders page. Until there's more information other than "it's a game that will probably come out sometime" this article does not fit Wikipedia's standards of inclusion. See: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 21:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete At this point, I agree with TheKoG, there is almost no real information on the game other than a mention in the interview; Takashi Yuda only said there'd be a sequel, he didn't even name it, the source article just assumed it'd be "Sonic Riders 2". There's even a list of "confirmed" characters, when no such list was released by Sega, it's speculation. -- VederJuda 00:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Spore (computer game) exists. Why not this? —BorgHunter ubx (talk) 16:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Because there's actually verifiable information about Spore. Read the article, it's not made-up information like the majority of this article. The only thing that's verifiable about Sonic Riders 2 is that the creator said something along the lines of "we're working on it." That is not enough information to base a Wikipedia article on. You might find reading WP:NOT helpful. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 16:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Johnleemk | Talk 14:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Only verifiable information is "the creator said this would happen". Not yet enough to justify an article. Deserves a line in Sonic Riders, nothing more. This article is intrinsically original research by virtue of the fact that its very title is a guess. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 15:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal-ball. The burden of proof that there will be such a game lies with the article. Since it fails to establish its existence, it is a clear delete. Bucketsofg 16:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. This is a very clear case of crystal ballism, with a little WP:OR thrown in besides. I quote from the article: This could mean that Sonic Riders 2 may not be going to Nintendo Revolution and there making an entirely new Sonic Riders sequel taking advantage of the unique controller or it could mean something entirely different like a port. Sure, it could mean that. The article itself states that it's not clear this game will ever exist, and in any case the only evidence supporting this is a series of interviews. No established name, no release date, we don't even know for sure which console it will be released for! --Deville (Talk) 16:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, crystall ball. We know nothing beyond "the game may exist in some form in the future." As far as "Even if it is a rumor, it shouldn't be deleted until someone can bring forth evidence that the game is not being produced"... no, the article should not be created until someone can bring forth evidence that the game is being produced. --Kinu t/c 17:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete All we know is that this game is planed. We have no idea as to when it will be released or what the game will be like. Right know there is not enough hard info to justify a separate article. Seano1 03:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are cancelled games in the Sonic series that are notable and have articles. Heck, who knows if space elevators will ever become real? I hear what all the delete votes are saying, but a large number of keepable articles feature a ton of sourced speculation (such as for one of the very systems the game may come out for.) I think we often forget that. As long as official sources say such a game is being planned, I think it can remain here at least for the time being. Grandmasterka 00:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. One comment from the producer of the original game just isn't enough to base a seperate article on. A section in the Sonic Riders article about a possible sequel already exists, and essentially has the same information. If more concrete info comes out, the article can always be recreated.

[edit] Danglish

As currently written [26], this appears to be some kind of joke ("correct" versions of phrases are as incorrect as the "incorrect" versions). -- Curps 14:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep if it can be cleaned up or expanded like other articles in the category Mixed languages, otherwise delete. --Ed (Edgar181) 15:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. There certainly exist modes of Danish that are heavily infected with English words and idioms, and it is possible to write incomprehensible English by translating Danish syntax or idioms word-by-word. "Danglish" has been used to refer to either phenomenon, but most commonly the former. As written the article attempts to describe the latter, but provides no verifiable encyclopedic information whatsoever. The particular phrases offered as examples do not seem to be informed in particular by Danish (of which I'm a native speaker). Non-salvageable. Henning Makholm 15:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Neologism. Few hits on google for this meaning--most appear to use this word as slang for breasts. Delete, and possibly redirect to Breast. JeremyA 14:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. nn neologism, this link suggests it is completely restricted to blogs (when it's not referring to breasts). Also, FWIW, the article creator's only edit is creating this article: Carllavin's contributions. --Deville (Talk) 17:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as neologism --TBC??? ??? ??? 17:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I would have added "critical mass" [27] and "meetup" [28] if the entries did not already exist. "Norgs" has entered the language in the same way. Many of the blogs cited are read more widely than many printed products. Carl—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.224.199.102 (talk • contribs).

  • Keep. Perhaps it's a neologism, but it's a neologism coined to describe a new and evolving phenomenon. In his original post, Will Bunch wrote "Hence, the 'norg.' 'Norg' because we need to lose our old identity with one dying medium, newspapers, and stress our most valuable commodity, the one that we truly own, and that is news . . . without the paper. Thus, we must now be news organizations, or 'norgs.'" Before this entry is deleted as a neologism, I would like to know what term can be adequately substituted in its place. We -- and by "we" I mean a diverse and influential group of established journalists, new media bloggers, and community activists -- are starting a growing conversation about the future of news and the future of newspapers. I agree with Carl that critical mass has been reached, as reflected in the google search linked above. I hope that the quote from Will Bunch shows that this is not, as Deville suggests, "completely restricted to blogs." -- Tattered_Matt 19:39, 26 March 2006

Keep - The meaning of this word is changing by the moment, and elevating to a higher and useful purpose. I would think again before removing it because some Australians have used it childishly. If you insist, keep it singular: Norg. -- Daniel Rubin, the Philadelphia Inquirer/blinq. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danielrubin (talk • contribs).

  • Delete The above two comments describe why it should not be kept. It's a new, evolving, changing word, that is not in widespread use, and what use there is, is inconsistent. Most definitely not encyclopedic. Fan1967 04:02, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Fan-1967, can you clarify what you mean by "widespread use"? Where is the threshold, and how is "widespread use" measured? Tattered_Matt 05:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't know where you'd draw the threshold exactly, but wherever it is, "norgs" is clearly below it. I find less than 1000 google hits, half of which seem to be about breasts. Fan1967 05:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • If there is no measurable threshold, I find it hard to understand how norgs is "clearly" below it. Tattered_Matt 07:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I didn't say there was no threshold, I said it isn't precise. IMO, a few hundred references doesn't cut remotely qualify as "widespread". Words in common usage get tens (or hundreds) of thousands of hits. This is a new word that hasn't caught on yet, and there isn't even consensus as to what it means. Fan1967 07:25, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep - While some have said the meaning of this word is changing by the moment, I would argue there is a solid definition of the word - but its implementation will change as the web changes.

"Norgs are news organizations that support "acts of journalism". This support can sometimes include legal, financial, organizational, and instuctional components in different combinations, regardless of medium. Products may include printed newspapers, websites, forums, wikis, podcasts, blogs, video, or any combination of these. As such, a Norg operates independently of format and medium, a break from how many traditional media organizations view themselves."

I've editted the Wikipedia entry to firm it up a bit - but I think Will Bunch, fairly much defined the term appropriately. It's "newness" or lack of poularity should not be a cause for deletion. Maybe for it to face Wikipedia's community for further editting - yes - as examples and implementations come along - but not deletion. -- Karl Martino, host of Philly Future. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.17.32.27 (talk • contribs).

Keep - Concerning the threshold for widespread usage, is this threshold at all influenced by the authority of those making the case for it? In other words, if the term is in heavy use by executives and veterans of the field to which it applies, how relevant is this vague threshold for the Google-ability of the word? Would it be any more legitimate if two million teenagers were using it online as a slang term? If so, maybe some are misunderstanding (or overestimating?) the legitimate purpose of this site. -- Howard Hall —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.162.174.36 (talk • contribs).

Keep - This term has been used for the last half a year by established people from the main stream media and new media. This conversation has spread from blogs to the corporate boardroom. If credibility is what some are worried about, then what do managing editors, senior writers, an editorial page editor, senior IT people of two established papers in the fifth largest city in the US bring to the table? One of the founders of Entertainment Weekly? The cooperation of an Ivy League school along with the attendence of the Dean of said school? A group of the most involved and widely read bloggers from the community? Representatives from Independent Media from two cities? Among others from across the country who could not make it to the physical unconference due to scheduling conflicts. Yes this is a new term, but as Karl noted, there does exist a solid definition and ideal behind the word. It will be an organic and changing form, but the roots are firmly in place. This term should stay and continue to grow and be edited by the wiki community as the wiki is a part of the essence of the term. Dragonballyee 21:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. It's a protologism, and we don't keep those here, unless they acquire widespread media attention that this term doesn't have. -Colin Kimbrell 22:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • protologism is defined as "A newly created word given a definition in the hope that it will be used in that sense." I would argue that what we have here is "A definition given a word by a community of experts in its domain, including members of academia, newspaper publishing, and blogging, except it hasn't taken hold in common usage yet." -- Karl Martino, host of Philly Future. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by kmartino (talk • contribs).
  • Comment Your statement "except it hasn't taken hold in common usage yet" is the very heart of protologism. I have to note that just about every "Keep" comment that has been posted here reinforces the fact that this word does not fit Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. Fan1967 15:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Searching for protologism on Google finds 579 hits. Searching for "+norg +newspaper" on Google finds finds 773 hits. protologism, by your definition, is a protologism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kmartino (talk • contribs).
Yes, which is why you won't find any article on "protologism" in Wikipedia. (There is currently a redirect from "protologism" to "neologism", being discussed for deletion presently). Henning Makholm 16:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Note that the entry for "protologism" to which I linked was on Wiktionary, not Wikipedia. Also note that it was under a subsection for wiki-specific jargon, which was created to help users acclimate themselves to the wiki environment. "Protologism" had an entry on Wikipedia at one time, but it was deleted.[29] -Colin Kimbrell 16:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Find me some print media citations (physical media, not blogs), and I might be willing to change my opinion. -Colin Kimbrell 12:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] House of Prayer Christian Church

Church in Georgia. No apparent claims to notability. Delete. DMG413 14:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Can you give me a chance to develop the page please? I'm not sure I understand why it should be deleted. I have a lot of information about this group that I am compiling. Perhaps it's because I'm new to Wikipedia and I am not doing this correctly? Please advise. Hanako
  • Delete per nom, but I'd be happy to change my view if Hanako fills out the article before the close of the AfD. While every article is theoretically "a work in progress" on Wikipedia, it is best to at least have the basic establishment of notability and why it should be included in the encyclopedia, even in a stub, as is, it does not. -Dawson 20:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Change to Keep and expand, per Hanako & JJ. -Dawson 20:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand Check this out: [30]... 53,000 google hits. It'a appparently quite the striking organization. Ronabop 01:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I'll change my vote if convinced that this is a notable subject. The Google search seems too wide, though - a search for "House of Prayer Christian Church" pulls up just 153 hits, the first few of which are for a San Antonio church, not the Georgia one. --DMG413 02:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Come back when it's Westminster Abbey. Denni ☯ 03:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc has always experienced a high attrition rate among its ministry and membership, and in 2004 they experienced a sizeable schism when a segment of their ministers withdrew and formed House of Prayer Christian Church which is comprised of military-oriented churches and based in Hinesville, Georgia. As of March 2006, the church had less than 5,000 constituents and not more than 150 churches/preaching points. However, they were ranked as the fifth most active topic thread among hundreds of religious groups on FACTNet, which is a counter-cult Internet bulletin board.
Just as the Catholic Church is not just a building in Room; the House of Prayer Christian Church is actually between 100 and 150 local churches. That’s why Google returns a page about a church in San Antonio. It also means comparing this article to an article on Westminster Abbey is misleading. This subject is not claiming to be notable because it’s a land mark, be because it’s a national organization. Seano1 19:20, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Given the schism and the 100s of Churches involved we obviously need this article. I hope that it is expanded pronto. -- JJay 19:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Expanded, and more forthcoming. Thank you. Hanako

"Pentacostal" in the intro line needs to be corrected to "Pentecostal." Thank you.

  • Keep please. I am the author of the article on NTCC, HOP's parent church. The numbers cited above apply to NTCC, not HOP. HOP's numbers are roughly 10 to 20 percent of NTCC's. But both groups proselyte aggresively, and so affect much larger numbers of people than those they currently claim as members. Rin3guy
  • Delete 18-month old, nn church. Eusebeus 13:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Eusebeus what does nn mean? no-name? These zealots actively solicit on military bases, coming into contact with hundreds of soldiers each week, and chaplains and other military leaders frequently seek for info about this group and its parent church, NTCC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rin3guy (talk • contribs).
  • Keep If this were just one church, I would agree that it's non-notable (nn) and would not argue about it being deleted...but this is an entire denomination who happens to have named themselves "House of Prayer Christian Church". I'm sorry if it sounds like it's singular, but it's not. This group is notable because of it's extremist views and tactics. The article is developing...it is sparse thus far because sources are rare when a group shuts themselves off from the outside world, and doesn't allow any form of media to come in or go out. Thank you for your consideration. Hanako 16:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Fifth out of how many? Just zis Guy you know? 09:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Reply and revised delete vote. I thought this was a good question, so I took a careful look at the report (all data for 2004). The top 10 companies in the industry represent 53% of sales and 11% of stores. United Hardware is not in the top 10 overall. It's easy to see why. The industry is grouped according to how the stores are organized: (1) publicly held DIY stores, (2) wholesale co-operatives, and (3) wholesaler merchandising groups. Group 1 is by far the largest, with Home Depot respresenting a 30% market share of the entire industry, Lowe's is 15%, and BMHC is a distant 3rd. United is in Group 2. The top 6 listed companies in this sector (Ace, Do-it-Best, True Value, Orgill, Handy Hdwre, United Hdwre) represent only a 4% market share on a combined basis, and the first 4 are MUCH bigger than the last 2. United Hdwre by itself is 1/15th of 1% of the market. So if we looked at the market as a whole, United Hdwre would probably not even get mentioned. It just happens to be 6th from the top in a segment that is only 4% of the market. So, in conclusion, United Hardware is not really notable. I'm changing my vote to a delete, on the basis of this analysis. Slowmover 15:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Borderline Keep: this guy has 15 publications [34] since 1994, not counting ones DBLP couldn't find. The external link is sort of irrelevant: that's for mathematics geneology, which traces people through advisor/student relationships. His home page is here, but it's pretty out of date. He publishes in Theoretical Computer Science where proceedings are much more acceptable than Jitse Niesen implies. See WP:PROFTEST for some guidelines in development. Note that this article has been around since 2002 and doesn't appear to be a vanity article. I will attempt to improve the article somewhat. Mangojuice 20:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have now improved the article. Mangojuice 20:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment: As pointed out, proceedings articles are common for computer science. As for whether the article is vanity, I wouldn't say "vanity" is the first thing that comes to mind. For some reason, Wikipedia tends to accumulate a lot of bios of Slovenians. Some of these bios are of noteworthy individuals, while some are not. Given the general lack of information in these articles, it can be difficult to tell what significance their work has, if any. This article on Brodnik is no different. There are no backlinks from articles explaining some crucial piece of his work, no indication of what his greatest theoretical advances are, etc. Thanks to Mangojuice, we at least have a selected papers section, which presumably highlights his most important papers. On the other hand, it's still a mystery why those are his most important papers or what they are about or what impact they have had. I would be much happier if this gap was fixed. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 03:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Having read through the points raised here (sorry for being so dismissive to publications in proceedings, I thought that theoretical CS was like maths and that important results are published in journals, possibly in addition to publication in proceedings), I still don't see what distinguises him from the average academic. My own opinion on notability for academics corresponds roughly to WP:PROFTEST, but in my reading none of the criteria in that proposal applies. However, my opinion is very weak, especially because I think that if the consensus (or the lack thereof) on notability as evidence in AfD discussions on other subjects would be applied to academics, then the article would have been kept. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 06:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle for the tanker

Fancruft article on one scene from the movie Mad Max 2. There's no need for this to have its own article, and it's using an infobox designed for real-life military conflict to boot. 23skidoo 16:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The main article doesn't have a scene-by-scene breakdown of the film, so I don't see why this should remain intact. A synopsis would suffice, at most.  (aeropagitica)  19:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, I don't see any reason to have this have it's own article. And the title: "Battle for the tanker"? Come on. K1Bond007 22:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I firmly disagree. Given the impact of this film upon Western culture, having an article describing the battle is certainly indicated. Furthermore, having the battle described seperately from the more conventional details of the plot serves to elucidate the idea that the film is important not only in terms of the cinematography as discussed in the main article, but also as a tactical lesson for aspiring post-apocalyptic commandos. Certainly, the tanker-scene deserves as much coverage as the Battle of the Bulge or Normandy.

  • You have got to be joking. I invite you to provide citations and sources to suggest that a fictional road-battle comes anywhere close to the Battle of Normandy! 23skidoo 22:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Really sir, your contention that Normandy is more important than Battle for the Tanker (please refer to it as such) simply doesn't do. For one, your contention likely rests upon the fallacious idea that "reality," which scholarly types are so attached to, is somehow more important than fiction. (1) No less, it is also implicit in another statement by yourself (q.v.) that Normandy is more important than Battle for the Tanker because people were actually killed in Normandy. (2) Your irrational attachment to violent conflicts highlights a misconception that violent acts are more memorable than nonviolent acts, like for example making the contention that Renaissaince Art is less worthy of historical documentation than the Crusades, for the reason that the Crusades involved so many deaths. (3) As such, I shall provide a series of citations, at your own insistance, that not only substantiates my original post, but most clearly erradicates any possibility that you can posit a valid argument that this article be a legitamate candidate for deletion. Truly sir, I can ask only that you listen to reason here. If anything, I should like for you to admit the true reason why you find yourself in such firm disliking of the article, and also please explain why you have invited a bevy of like-minded persons to launch further attacks upon it.

      • ROFLMAO. I asked for sources that indicate explicitly that the Battle for the tanker is more important than the Battle of Normandy and you give me a philosophy lesson. That's rich. Doesn't matter anyway. What my reality is telling me is people seem (at the moment) to agree with my point of view and that's what matters. And if you take the Sartre article as letter of the law, no article should ever be deleted. Good luck trying to sell that to TPTB. 23skidoo 13:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Yes, Skido, I feel very fortunate to have won you over to my side. As far as Those Persons who run this publication, have you any connections to them? Perhaps a few kind words from yourself would be enough to dissuade them from any hasty and regretable actions. Certainly, we are interested in a solution to this dilemna that will produce the best results for all interested parties. I can tell now that you are a man of reason. As for Mssrs. Khoikhoi, Joshua and Grey I am not quite sure what to say. It seems likely that they harbor no good intentions towards the long-term stability of this article, and as such must be regarded with some suspicion. I advise you to please use discretion in any interaction with them!! A few careless words might be all that's necessary to give them the day. In the meantime, I shall undertake to research more, and to devise a strategy of preservation. Might I be so bold as to inquire what our next step shall be?

  • I haven't gotten around to them yet. 23skidoo 22:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, some of them are far more popular and well known and deserve their own page. Battle of Hoth, Yavin, Endor. These are pretty notable. I'm not saying all of the Star Wars ones are encyclopedic and deserve their own page, but this "Battle for the tanker" and "Battle for the volcano" certainly don't deserve their own articles. IMHO anyway. Most of the SW ones should probably be merged together as the random ones I looked at were stubs. K1Bond007 22:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Fair comment. And my previous statement shouldn't be seen as an intent to AFD Battle of Yavin, for example ... however the Volcano and Tanker battles are not worthy of their own articles and I must confess at being rather offended at the earlier statement that this deserves the same sort of coverage as battles (Normandy, Bulge) in which people actually died. 23skidoo 22:39, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

And please don't say that the works themselves are the sources, since the screenplay of "Animal House" does not say anything about "authority figures in comedy," and different individuals viewing the same movie could well differ in their opinions and interpretations.

[edit] Criticism of Halo 2

This is totally unreasonable for the following reasons:

  • There was widespread deletion support in the last nomination
  • With that said, almost none of the article's problems appeared to have been fixed
  • Article isn't notable enough for worthiness, and almost nobody talks about Halo 2's criticism
  • It is perfectly logical to merge this content with Halo 2 —This unsigned comment was added by NicAgent (talk • contribs) .
  • If it is logical to merge, why not do it? Johnleemk | Talk 18:10, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Smerge to Halo 2. Eivindt@c 19:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Smerge to Halo 2. This has been tagged for cleanup for a while and I am not sure how it could be rehabilitated. I'm sure lots of people criticized Halo 2 though and it could be sourced. I'm just not sure if we really need it. kotepho 19:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Smerge to Halo 2 per nom. OhNoitsJamieTalk 20:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per above, though the Halo 2 article is already pretty long, but I'm sure the criticisms could be pared down. -Dawson 21:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep. Article survived AfD last month. Nom is arguing for a merge, which is not the role of AfD. It is the role of the article talk page and that is where this discussion should be taking place. -- JJay 22:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge per above --TBC??? ??? ??? 22:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep as per Grandmasterka. Seano1 01:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete*This article has no learning value and it is basically a group of people's opinion of the game. If they didn't like the game then they didn't have to play it. Their is no reason to post an article on an encyclopedia website to display dissatifaction with a videogame. The article has no learning value relating to the topic of Halo 2.

  • Keep. I don't understand why this article is being nominated for deletion. While it does contain some obvious flaws, it could be corrected rather than removed. The person or person(s) criticizing that the article isn't the way it should be in their eyes could simply fix it themselves. Furthermore, there are always two sides to an issue. Games are not perfect and if people have reasonable gripes over certain factual problems then they should be known. Many other articles mention what people didn't like about something, such as critics of a movie. Why should this be any different? I agree with Grandmasterka too. 206.248.71.155 23:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC) Kiwi

To remove it would be to cause shame to Wikipedia, and all it claims to be about. Perhaps a clean up is in order to maintain the factual integrity, but certainly not removal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yerocdiamond (talk • contribs).

  • Do not delete Comment Once more, the proposal of an article clean up is put forth. In the zeal to add to this article, many of the stores employees may have added to this, perhaps not all of it verifiable. To remove it would be to remove a fact from a compendium of knowledge which claims to be a reference to things that are factual. This storied grocery store has over 100 employees, and is of importance in a town of approx. 200 000 people. This site surely has space for something which so many people know about, especially if there is room for 10 pages of 'The Simpsons' related lists, quotations, which do not have the historical backdrop such a store does. This article is very easily salvageable, and it has a long list of potential contributors which could make it the gem it deserves to be. The wikipedia website makes allowances for local articles, and all of 'Local-interest articles. These are articles about places like schools, or streets that are of interest to a relatively small number of people such as alumni or people who live nearby. There is no consensus about such articles, but some will challenge them if they include nothing that shows how the place is special and different from tens of thousands of similar places. Photographs add interest. Try to give local-interest articles local colour. Third-party references are good!' has been considered and implemented if possible.(text in quotations taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article)—This unsigned comment was added by Yerocdiamond (talk • contribs) .

  • Very Weak Keep, while there are literally thousands of porn stars out there and we can't possibly catalog them all, Ms. Lyons seems to have a significant body of work (no pun intended) and being that she is in one of the more "extreme" genres, it sort of does make her a standout in her field.

  • Weak delete, Weak keep. There is absolutely nothing innovative about the concept. There must be a dozen of these huge, outdoor, plaza, multi-purpose malls in my city alone with probably another five under construction. The original article was pure marketing crap, and only Hbackman's de-adification makes me think about keeping it. The complete non-notability of the establishment makes me lean towards delete.

  • Help me understand; how is this a new take? Kuru talk 22:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • The article claims that it is innovative as does press coverage such as this Boston Herald article [45]. I said it seems to be a new take, based on the replacement of an enclosed mall with a Main Street concept with outdoor plazas in a Northern location. Nevertheless, as the Methuen loop is apparently drawing a few million visitors per year, the article should probably be recentered just on that property. -- JJay 23:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm still not seeing anything terribly original about the design, except maybe its inclusion in a northern location. The branding concept is interesting, though (starbuckification), as is the fairly significant traffic that location is getting. I'm good with erroring on the side of inclusion. Thanks for the info. Kuru talk 03:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I have added one reference that was already linked above. Furthermore, would you please explain what you mean by "not encyclopedic"? If we don't know if or why someone has recomended a course of action, we can't properly evaluate it-- JJay 02:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The similarities between malls vastly outweigh the differences. You've seen one mall, you've seen them all. Denni ☯ 03:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, individual malls must have something unique and special to be notable enough for an encyclopaedia. This does not. Proto||type 09:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. I am very inclusionist on indoor malls, but this seems to be a few anchored strip malls and not of particular interest. youngamerican (talk) 17:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NFHL

Non-notable fantasy hockey league. Prod tag was removed. OhNoitsJamieTalk 20:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete with extreme prejudice. Do you have any idea how many fantasy leagues there are for hockey, baseball, American football, the rest of the world's football, cricket, jai alai, and, for all I know, mah jong? If you let one of them in, where would it stop? Any particular league is automatically non-notable. Fan1967 20:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per nom. Just to be sure, I checked to make sure there were no fantasy mah jong leagues. Kuru talk 20:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • You never know, it might be a golden untapped market. Fan1967 20:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Count me in. I'll bring the beer. Kuru talk 21:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Plese don't delete this article, this league is diffrent from many fantasy hockey leagues. This one is highly updated all the time and so many take part in it, other fantasy use simulation programs, but our league is diffrent by far, its just like the NHL but its just fantasy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs).
  • Can you help us quantify 'so many'? How many users are there? It looks like your message board is geeting about 10 posts a week - is that normal? There are less than one news items posted per month. Please don't think we're trying to shut you out; we simply have fairly strict guidelines on what is and isn't a notable website (look here for details: WP:WEB). You have every right to be proud of the site you and your friends have built - it's very nice, and very creative. We just have a limit as to what we can include here; per Mr. 1967's concerns outlined above. Kuru talk 21:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Bucketsofg 20:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is certainly not notable at all. However, I might disagree with Fan1967 slightly, in that I could imagine a case where a rotisserie league of some sort would qualify for inclusion: For example, if there was some Championship Fantasy League, say something analogous to the World Series of Poker, where there was a $10K buyin, and the winner was crowned "World Champ of Fantasy", something like that, I'd consider that notable. Of course, this is not such a case and thus delete with extreme prejudice. --Deville (Talk) 21:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious delete per nom (although I concur with Deville's assessment that a prospective uber-league may be notable). Joe 21:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
OK, conceivably, theoretically, such a notable fantasy league could exist, though I've never heard of one that would qualify. Regardless, this one isn't it. Fan1967 21:33, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Very much agreed. --Deville (Talk) 21:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment there are 30 people in this league and we are active trust me, i know the message boards dont show much that's because all 30 of us have AOL messenger and most of us are always on there to talk. The commishioner just got engaged and he has spent less time on the league but he emailed all of us saying he will be back in a week or so with everything up and running smoothly.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs).
    • In a world of over 6,500,000,000 people, 30 people don't seem to be enough to make something notable. Delete --TBC??? ??? ??? 23:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • whatever if i could make 6,500,000,000 teams i would oh well just delete it, you guys are haters.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs).
  • Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 02:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: only because the article is less than 12 hours old, and I'd like to give it a chance to establish notability. (But it's going to need something good.) Peter Grey 06:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep due to my belief in extreme inclusion. Wikipedia is not paper, and I would have no problem letting any and all fantasy leagues to be included in Wikipedia. It's an online reference source, plus this inclusikon of this article would not get in the way of any other page. --Nick Dillinger 09:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    • This is supposed to be an online encyclopedia, not a handwritten replacement for Google. --Calton | Talk 02:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Trivial to the extreme. Besides, I don't want to see Wikipedia drowning in crap. --Calton | Talk 02:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey Nick Dillinger are u from vancouver? from your profile it says your a vancouver canucks fan..im a huge one. kinda rare to find another fan on wiki

[edit] Stefan Carelius

The prod tag was removed, nn per WP:MUSIC Deville (Talk) 21:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Update:I am bundling Stefan Carelius with Aurorra Borrealis in this AfD. A Google search on the band's name returns 0 Ghits other than Wikipedia and mirrors. Seems extremely nn to me. --Deville (Talk) 21:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete both, per nom. At first I was just going to suggest merging Stefan Carelius into the band article, but apparently the band is -really- underground. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the Norwegian music scene can shed some insight - like maybe the band name has a different spelling in Norwegian or something and thats why it can't be found via Google or Amazon? -Dawson 21:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably a hoax. An anonymous editor has added a note to that effect in the article and is repeatedly trying to "delete" it by blanking, which is then reverted by various editors.
