[edit] David Gill, M.D.

An article about a local candidate. The subject doesn't meet the first two bullet points at WP:BIO. Two questions to answer: if he doesn't win, would he still be notable? Would he 10 years from now? --Malber (talk • contribs) 20:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. He might meet the second bullet point at WP:BIO. That point requires a local politcal figure, not necessarily an elected one and he has stood before. If he doesn't win then he can be removed in a few years. --MarkS 20:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: At any rate, the "MD" needs to be removed from the title. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Move to David Gill (politician) per MarkS and Zoe -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 21:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with MarkS. I also have a hard time calling him a local candidate. Doesn't local imply state or county or city government? He's a candidate for the US House. And the move for sure. -- Superdosh 21:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per MarkS. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 21:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; newsworthy as a candidate, but not of much encyclopedic value if we consider possible that the article will have to be deleted in few years. The article also seems to show problems of verifiability (how can we verify that he donates blood every 2 months? Who verified that? Sounds like something taken directly from his Web site) that are typical of biographies of non-notable people. - Liberatore(T) 00:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It won't have to be deleted if he gets elected. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:48, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
    • So why can't we wait for an article on him until he becomes notable per WP:BIO? -- Malber (talk • contribs) 13:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Because as the major challenger for a house seat, he fulfills the second bullet point -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 15:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep see no reason to delete ILovePlankton 02:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. It's vanity. He is a local candidate and is a nobody. Jimboy0 06:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Major party candidate in a one on one congress race. Notable for the coverage of the 2006 congrssional elections. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I created this page because David asked me to and someone not affiliated with the campaign or David continues to edit it. David certainly does meet the second bullet point on WP:BIO which by the way states "This is not intended to be an exclusionary list. Just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted." You can't make it more clear than that. Whoever you are, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop this witch hunt. If you have problems with David, he'd be happy to discuss them with you- davidgill@gill2006.com As for the name of the article, there already was an article titled David Gill, so I needed something to distinguish the two and MD is what came to mind. Any particulare reason it should be changed? As for verifing that Doc donates blood, I didn't even know that until he told me himself. If you really want me to, I can have him contact the blood bank and post the record on the website or something.jfrank
  • The article's current title is improperly formatted according to Wikipedia naming conventions, hence my suggestion of David Gill (politician). If this AfD concludes with the article not being deleted, a disambiguation page will likely be created at David Gill to help direct readers to the appropriate article. As for the rest of your comment, I'm pretty sure that writing a candidate bio as a person involved in said candidate's campaign ranks rather highly on the list of bad article ideas. Perhaps you need to back off and allow for more objective users to evaluate the article and decide what is verifiable and what isn't. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Thank you for that. I'll definitely change the name! And I should clarify that I have no problem with others editing the page. What I do take issue with is the Johnson troll who started this whole thing in the first place. That is to whom my comment was refering. I'd venture to say that I know a lot more about TJ than his people know about David, but you won't see me or any of us editing Tim's page or unneccessarily flagging it. Can anyone tell me when we can expect a ruling on this? jfrank

[edit] Echo Helstrom (band)

I'm moving this from Prod to AfD because I think the band has at least a case, although not a strong one, but maybe I'm missing something. I wrote this article, but only in the process of researching the real Echo Helstrom, and I neither know nor care anything about the band. But they do have two albums out (albeit at least the first was self-published), they have received good reviews (but not, apparently, in really major mags), and they did do the music for a Netscape ad (wheeee). Basically, if there's anyone from Portland that knows anything about this band? Maybe they are better-known than they appear to be, or something. Herostratus 00:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thinklets

Delete - The article as written now is either incoherent or at least not written at a level suitable for an introductory treatment of its subject matter. Moreover, it's difficult to see *how* this article *could* be reformed, given the obscurity of its topic (and related verifiability and original research concerns). Pop Secret 00:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, stub with potential. Royboycrashfan 00:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as this is just gibberish. Take a look at the talk page. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Could be expanded, referred to peer review, etc. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Please, take a look at the history of the creator, RJBurkhart (talk • contribs). This is pure gibberish, a stream of random, tenuously-connected ideas passed off as a topic, one of several similar "articles" written by this editor. There's no potential for expansion other than more gibberish. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I never considered this, and therefore, you may be right. However, for now, my vote is going to remain keep. I believe that there is possible hope for the article. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Seems like a hoax, a parody of business jargon. I suspect the author is just trying to have fun tricking people into thinking that a bunch of gibberish has meaning. Several of the bluelinks either go to redirects or link to articles with no clear connection to the piped link name. The external links that I followed didn't contain the term. Neutral, see below. --Allen 01:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - The article does read like a parody of business/computer jargon, but it appears not to be a hoax. See, e.g. [1]. Moreover, the term gets quite a few (seemingly) relevant web hits. On the other hand, it might be neologism/OR. dbtfz^talk 03:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Wow, yeah, I guess you're right. Plus, if it was a joke, the author probably wouldn't have made a zillion edits to it. And if that paper is indeed real, it's not strictly OR either. I guess I'd better take back my vote, although I still feel like Thinklets is laughing at me. --Allen 03:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Thinklets don't laugh; they exhibit Actionable Distilled Jocularity. dbtfz^talk 04:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'm pretty sure this is a just a joke. Sentences like "A thinkLet's social capital value proposition may be assessed by its distributed application as either an Actionable Distilled Insight or Reusable Learning Object." sound like something from the Pointy Haired Boss from the Dilbert comic strip. Even if it isn't a joke, it's written like jibberish and has no encyclopedic value (i.e. it doesn't even explain what a "Thinklet" is). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is so full of jargon as to be unredeemable. Flush this turd, and eliminate

its stench from Wikipedia. Brian G. Crawford 03:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Not sure whether this is unredeemable gibberish, or a hoax. I kind of suspect it's a parody, but I'm kind of afraid it's not. Maybe BJAODN it? Fan1967 03:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • WP:BJAODN is often thrown around too lightly, but if this gets deleted, I think it would make for a classic BJAODN. --Allen 04:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and move to BJAODN. --Terence Ong 10:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete agreed.
• Keep per Eternal Equinox. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Recon0 17:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per well argued nomination. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 21:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I've been watching this article since it was written, and it has only gotten worse. (Well, not entirely - for a while the term "thinklet" was never even defined.) This is apparently one guy's neologism, and the article was created by someone who attended a seminar where it was mentioned. The chance of expanding (yikes) or improving it appear minimal. -Will Beback 00:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but extreme stubify or mark for complete rewrite. I find that it is impossible to understand gibberish, but I verified that the Hawaii conference listed as a source does exist and did have presentations on this topic in 2004. So I don't think deleting is the answer. However, Wikipedia should aspire to significantly greater readability so we should somehow "send back" the article for a complete rewrite. By the way, I tried to read the first page of that 2004 presentation on thinklets, and while it is less gibberish than our article, I did not end up any wiser. I still have no idea what thinklets are, and hereby retreat licking my wounds from my attempt to sofixit. Martinp 04:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment from the closing admin: I'm sending this to Article Heaven (or Limbo, or Nirvana, or whatever) and may it find peace over there. "Extreme stubbification" is not an option, given that it's impossible to get anything coherent from this article. Out of respect for serious marketspeakers I won't send thins to BJAODN, though it would certainly fit in there. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Republic of Gilead

This is basically the same as the page for The Handmaid's Tale. Almost all of it is copied word-for-word, so there's no reason to have this page up when it adds nothing new. Slinga 00:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as unencyclopedic. Royboycrashfan 00:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge any useful info with and redirect to The Handmaid's Tale. PJM 01:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep and remove from The Handmaid's Tale, where it bloats that article. The Handmaid's Tale should be about The Handmaid's Tale, not the Republic of Gilead. Melchoir 01:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with the notability arguments below, but I have a hang-up on principle: AfD is a poor tool for resolving merge/split decisions. On the other hand, if this article were deleted and/or redirected, it would hamper future splits, so I'll unweak myself. Melchoir 06:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge notable information and then redirect. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect Nothing worth merging that's not already in A Handmaid's Tale. Fan1967 03:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable addition to Category:Fictional countries. Atwood spun together an interesting world with The Handmaid's Tale and it is a notable novel in Canada. If Middle-Earth gets an article why not this? CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 04:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Middle-Earth exists across several books and media. There is enough information about it per se to justify a separate article.

Gilead, by contrast, exists in only one book and, once you get past "future USA run by ultra-fundamentalist Christians," there's not a whole hell of a lot more you can say about it. Redirect. Daniel Case 14:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per Capitalistroadster. Content will change over time.Vizjim 12:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. If it's part of a book, the content belongs in the article of that book.
• Keep per Capitalistroadster. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Better in this context. Honbicot 15:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. It can still be listed as a notable fictional country, but it has not existence outside The Handmaid's Tale, so it doesn't need an article outside The Handmaid's Tale, either. --- GWO
• Redirect When its the subject of multiple books it may deserve a separate article. Thatcher131 16:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. An encyclopedia is for informational articles about the world we live in, not every fictional world created by novelists. Brian G. Crawford 16:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Most editors would beg to differ with you, since we have very extensive articles, character profiles, location articles, etc. on numerous fictional works such as Harry Potter, Animorphs and Star Wars, to name a few. Grandmasterka 16:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Well known fictional country. JoshuaZ 17:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Notable enough to have its own article apart from the one on the book, its film adaptations, etc. 18:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this is not needed. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 21:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect - notable, but a word for word copy is grounds for redirect to the parent. Georgewilliamherbert 07:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - As aforestated, we have plenty of fictional articles. Heck, look at the article for Freedonia. This article does have a place on wikipedia, but I suggest that someone make some attempt to make it different from the other article. Siyavash 12:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. The country exists in 1 (one) book. It's a fine book, but since there is no information about the world outside that book, there is no need for the separate article about the world. Middle Earth, and, yes, even Freedonia, have references outside their 1 source. This one doesn't. When there is another reference to the Republic of Gilead, or when the Handmaid's Tale article gets too long, RoG can get its own article, not until then. GRuban 16:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three forms of mathematical induction

I have refactored comments from this page to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Three forms of mathematical induction to improve readability and reduce the amount of space people viewing the entire day have to scroll through. Please use the talk page in future for long discussion. This should not be taken as implying those comments are less valuable in any way, and you are urged to read both this and the talk page. Stifle 09:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Logically, shouldn't that be moved to the talk page of the article, instead of the delete discussion? — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 13:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

This redundant article serves no purpose. (1) and (2) are covered by Mathematical induction; (3) is covered by complete induction. These relationships are already explored in detail at Mathematical induction. In 30 months, the article has accumulated as many edits; I attempted to merge it but was reverted. Melchoir 01:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Melchoir's hostility seems gratuitous; I don't know where it comes from. His attempt to "merge" material into mathematical induction amounted to (1) paraphrasing a fragment of this article in a way that made clear that he understood none of it and didn't care to; and (2) putting it into a randomly chosen place in that article. Michael Hardy 01:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I do not understand why it is necessary to insult me to this degree. I have made nothing but good-faith edits; I understand the articles a little better than not at all, and I make sure that I understand what I'm doing before I do it. You can't possibly think my choice of position was random. And I merged a "fragment" because there is exactly one sentence in this article that can't be found in a more relevant place.

• Delete essentially per nom, as I don't see anything in here to merge. This may be the first example of mathcruft I've seen. How is (2) functionally different from (1)? Whatever your answer is, then please articulate why there should be the explicit case where one has to prove n=1,2 by hand and then start the induction at 2? And etc.? In any case, this article contains absolutely zero mathematical content not contained in other articles. --Deville (Talk) 05:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • If you see no difference between (1) and (2), then you're not paying attention. "Why there SHOULD be"? I never said there "SHOULD" be; I said there ARE very many such cases. I suggest if you don't know that, you're simply not a mathematician. Michael Hardy 21:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Comparison of different variations on induction belongs at mathematical induction. This article seems like it might be about using induction for a certain group of problems.

• Delete. Of no value as an independent topic --DV8 2XL 23:29, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge. This page is really about what it itself calls the "second form" of induction, which isn't really dealt with on the mathematical induction page. This is an interesting topic and completely merits Michael Hardy's expanded content, but there's no reason for it to be anything other than a subhead in mathematical induction just as the "first" and "third" forms currently are. —Blotwell 03:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I would say that the focus of the article is to present a trichotomy of techniques, and give examples to illustrate the distinctions among them. However, I am not convinced that either the trichotomy, at least as it is presented here, really exists, and I do not think that the examples illustrate anything substantial. Furthermore, as it's been noted, the factual material that's contained here is present in the mathematical induction article, so that the sole original content of the article becomes the uninformative examples. Let me elaborate: sent to talk page by Stifle Ryan Reich 04:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Restructure - the point is actually about a common difficulty in using induction (2). So it could be rewritten into an article about Polya's example (which is quite famous), introducing the stuff on 2nd form to explain the apparent paradox. The discussion of 1 and 3 could be probably merged into the Mathematical induction article. AdamSmithee 08:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• merge. Form 2 can be easily be rendered as form 1, by a simple renumbering. Define two sequences of cases: let case_A the original cases and let case_B(n) = case_A(n + 1), be a renumbered sequence. So the form 2 induction for case_A just becomes a form 1 induction for case_B, with an extra vaciously true case case_B(0). In general induction arguments don't have to start at 1, if you can prove all cases up to m by other means and then prove >m using induction then its just as good an argument. Its a shame we've had to go here, instead of reverting the merge notice, which imediatly led to and afd in retaliation, a discussion on the merge would have been more civil.--Salix alba (talk) 13:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • rename I now think that this article is missnamed. The key points seem to be more about inductive or recirsive arguments relating to (binary) operations. It does not use the normal definition of induction, interms of a sequence of statements, but instead requires extra conditions linking the statement number to the number of operands.--Salix alba (talk) 00:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• delete as the selection of the three forms is WP:OR. (This is an oddity, as I see it. All of the article could be merged into different articles.) My suggestion would be to find a good name for the 2nd form, and keep that as a separate article, merging all the rest into Mathematical induction. Specifically -- forms 1 and 2 are the same type of induction, with the difficulties in different steps, while form 3 is different. They should not all be in the same article without including a number of of still different forms. Furthermore, the triangle inquality miscounts "n". The step that is impossible is 2 to 3, rather than 1 to 2, as the trivial equation is . (In other words, I agree with AdamSmithee, but feel, in addition, that the selection of items in the article is WP:OR.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 15:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, possibly merge existing text into mathematical induction (if it is placed after the explanation of mathematical induction, the necessary level of marthematical competence may be assumed). But this is a question of ordinary editing. No claim made here justifies deletion. Septentrionalis 16:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Polya's example and perhaps the product rule example into mathematical induction or some article on logical fallacy or erroneous proof. Delete the rest, as it is redundant or too detailed (maybe put into a Wikibook on proof techniques?). This article is too basic to appeal to readers who fully understand induction already. I also agree about the WP:OR problem; I have never seen this classification before, there are no sources, and there is no reason given to single out these three forms of induction from others possible. Joshuardavis 17:48, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • The essence of Polya's example is not erroneous proof; the essense is the form of the argument. What is erroneous is there only because Polya wanted to divorce the form from specific cases, and also to set an exercise for students. But Polya's example illustrates the form perfectly. Those who think it's erroneous to say all horses are of the same color are being too literal-minded; sometimes all horses are of the same color. Don't construe that literally. Michael Hardy 21:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Partial merge, userfy and potentially move to wikibooks. Article presents an interesting and to me somewhat new perspective on mathematical induction (bear in mind, I have not been an active mathematician for 5 years). This perspective should be integrated into the article on the topic at hand, namely mathematical induction, to the extent appropriate. This will of course involve discussion and debate with the denizens of that article. Beyond this, could become part of a mathematical wikibook of some sort; pending that, should be userfied. Martinp 04:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Would be interesting to hear the perspective of active participants in Wikiproject Mathematics, not as much on content or to give them any sort of veto power, but to understand what has worked in the past regarding interesting perspectives on one aspect of an encyclopedic mathematical topic. Heck, I have all sorts of material from old lectures I gave where I presented something mathematical from a slightly iconoclastic angle, but which is not new research. What is the right approach to judge what belongs on Wikipedia? Martinp 04:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wikibooks. Wikipedia is not a how-to, and articles need to be comprehensible to people outside a narrow field of competence. Not making any assesment about the article here. Stifle 09:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • This has certainly never been a how-to article in any of its versions. And I think it is comprehensible to all mathematicians, not just to those in any narrow field of competence. Should all Wikipedia articles that are incomprehensible to non-mathematicians get deleted? What is that -- maybe 10% of all Wikipedia articles, and 90% of the ones on mathematics? Michael Hardy 22:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• delete The point of this article is completely lost to me, if it even has a point. I don't see anything significant in the distinctions made. If Polya's example is famous it should be merged to the main induction article. -MarSch 13:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• delete (or maybe merge) Perhaps something in this article belong in Complete induction, but other than that it seems to be a bunch of howto and examples, and gets hung up on the point of whether the base case of an induction is vacuous (which might deserve one sentence in the induction article). Rdore 00:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • How in the world does anyone manage to see this as a "how to"?? It skips details precisely because it is NOT a how-to. There is NO mention of whether the base case is vacuous in the examples, but rather only in the case of complete induction, where it explains why the base case is always vacuous. In all three examples, the base case is asserted to be the substantial part--as far from vacuous as you can get. Michael Hardy 03:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mucky_Pup

Previously speedy-deleted three times, once under CSD A7, the remaining two times without further consideration as G4 (recreation of previously deleted material). At Deletion Review, it was pointed out that the current version of the article asserts notability, rendering CSD A7 currently an invalid reason for deletion.

• Keep - regardless of whether the record label signing is verifiable, what is incredibly verifiable is that a song by this group was chosen by Berke Breathed to represent the Billy and the Boingers group from Bloom County, and that song was published in a major New York Times bestseller that was distributed all over the world.

• Delete per above -- Ritchy 04:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Firstly - I am not Krause - so this can't be considered vanity, perhaps blind admiration at best. Secondly you're all being very condescending and elitist. At no point does the article claim Mr. Krause has "re-established the Platonic school" or any other claims - if you actually read his work all he does is humble himself and does not even refer to himself as a philosopher but rather someone who is just repeating ancient wisdom. Mr. Krause makes no claims of accomplishing anything and all his works are dedicated to his teachers rather than himself, explaining to the reader that any thoughts must be attributed to them and them alone. Anyway, I wouldn't want this stub, which I was going to expand to include commentary on all his key points being in such a elitist environment so delete. Baalhammon 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• After reading the above, I'll rephrase my vote: Delete Non-notable philospher. Having a blog does not make you notable. Fan1967 04:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Although Mr. Krause is not published yet does not make his thoughts any less legitimate, nor does his age. Young people have accomplished great things in the past (See: Alexander the Great). Attack the ideas, not the character. I'd like to again stress that I have no personal affiliation to Mr. Krause. What makes a philosopher notable anyway? The common man wouldn't know the name Nietzsche and of course wouldn't know the name Wittgenstein - but these are giants of philosophy. By another logic, Socrates, Epictetus and other Greeks didn't write down or publish their philosophy, and we consider them classical, if not crucial. Although there is a link to a personal blog on Krause's site, there is also academic essays and a philosophical treatise on ethics. Baalhammon 04:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll respond to only one of your questions, as it's the only one that matters here: What makes a philosopher notable anyway? To put it simply, a notable person is one that many people have heard of. It is not Wikipedia's task to publicize unknown people, but rather document notable people. Krause is not prominent, he is not well-known. The specific guidelines that Wikipedia recommends are at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Fan1967 05:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep to be contrarian. I would like to perform an experiment of the contrary method of discouraging vanity articles: keeping them, locking their content so that the author can't delete them, and publicizing them so widely that the author is embarrassed into never ever doing it again. I doubt that will happen here, but it's worth a try. Reading the article was worth enough of a laugh to warrant something silly here. (note: experiment not proposed policy change for WP as a whole, at least not until test results are in...). Georgewilliamherbert 07:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Now that's cruel. Just goes to show that we will be doing the kind, compassionate thing by deleting this article.  : ) dbtfz^talk 07:48, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Besides being cruel, doesn't a contrarian "keep" vote violate WP:POINT (State your point; don't prove it experimentally)? - Rynne 23:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Not really, editors are free to vote and give rationales however they choose, for whatever reason. Votes like this simply won't be considered in the final tally. Nothing has really been done here - creating, nominating (or encouraging others to do so) or otherwise making significant erroneous changes to pages to make a point (aka disrupting wikipedia) are frowned upon. The tone of this opinion above makes it clear it's a bit of fun and I doubt anybody, least of all Georgewilliamherbert, seriously expects it to take off. Embarassing vanity posters is sometimes essential but you do have to remember WP:BITE and WP:AGF Deizio 01:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

This is no propaganda, there's another page which list all the movies with CGI and what else? You want to suppress it? You think I will gain something by writing it for Wiki? No! This is a fan project and a school one too! If you go on the listed links, you'll see a video of the presentation, which is in an amphitheatre of an university! And those who think my article is a crap or sucks, it would be VERY NICE to tell me WHY instead of criticizing it! Gorkab

[edit] Meiji zaka

User:わがまま小皇帝 has been creating articles on Tokyo streets that do not appear to have any particular notability.

• Delete per well argued nomination. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 22:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Looks like someone's documenting the streets in his neighborhood in Mita -- and not even the most important streets, at that. I actually recognize Tuna no tebiki zaka: the Australian Embassy is on it. There might be some historical import along one of these slopes (one of the local street maps, as I recall, mentions a famous suicide in the vicinity), but until some English-language verifiability comes out, delete. --Calton | Talk 03:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Certainly, these slopes of Tokyo are not as famous as the Seven hills of Rome, but that's no reason to delete them. Move, of course, to titles with the Wikipedia Hepburn spellings. Fg2 10:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Then you mean that we should have articles on every road, slope, street, alleyway etc. in the world? If not, what notability criteria would you apply? Sandstein 11:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realize Wikipedia had a relevant notability criterion. If you could provide a link to it, it might merit a change in my vote. Fg2 03:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Try here: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Random information on random slopes in a city is pointless: these articles taught me nothing and I used to work in that neighborhood. --Calton | Talk 04:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

It's not convincing, but having thought some more about this, I suppose merging all the nominated articles into a new "Neighborhoods in Shirokane" wouldn't be a bad idea, or merging into Shirokane to make a substantial article out of a collection of small ones. Fg2 01:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, redirect Meiji-zaka to Shirokane, merge what's necessary. I was going to vote keep, but I checked JA and there is actually no article there either (their article is on Shirokane, and the slope is a feature). The pictures to these -saka in JA actually link to the English articles, so it seems like there is no great need for these articles in JA either.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  01:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Apparently my edit yesterday didn't come through. Tsuna zaka makes legitimate reference to notability, and it has it's own article on JA Wiki. It should NOT be included on this AfD as the other 2 make no claims of notability. I now vote keep for the sake of Tsuna zaka.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  05:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Er, I can't read Japanese, but the English version of Tsuna zaka makes no substantial claims to notability. It talks about the origin of the name, which is that of an ogre-slaying samurai, but that makes the samurai (slightly) notable, not the street. Or is every place named for a notable person automatically notable, too? Sandstein 05:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

The English version doesn't explain it very well. The ogre-slaying samurai is considered to have been born in the area of Tsuna zaka, which is why, I assume, the article was deemed worthy for JA.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  05:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, then why not correct the English article accordingly? I still won't consider the street notable until the samurai himself has a stub showing why he's notable, though... Sandstein 11:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC) My bad, he has an article. OK, no vote on Tsuna zaka, if y'all consider it notable for the sake of this samurai. Sandstein 11:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete: This page is nothing but a description of a site on the web and an external link.

• Keep. Notwithstanding the opinion of Brenneman, there is extensive news coverage of this gang dating back to the early 90s and they do have an established presence in various states inclusing NC, CA and WI among others. If every serial killer qualifies for an article, based largely on the news coverage surrounding their crimes, why not gangs? They collectively kill a lot of people and are frequently in the news. They also have a far greater impact within defined ethnic communities.-- JJay 20:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I think the point he's trying to make is that it is no use running around yelling "we have sources, we have sources!" if 1) you don't show us discussing the deletion what they are, and 2) if you don't show future readers of the article what they are. Slapping weblinks to one or more prime examples of these sources, on the other hand, is the metaphorical Good Thing. -- Saberwyn 21:35, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, I could do that. Of course, so could Brenneman. In fact, so could anyone who takes a gander at the top of the page where it says "credible google hits", which is a link to numerous articles discussing this gang. Those links just representing a small proportion of the news coverage. -- JJay 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Original Content appearing in Doctor Who (2005-)

Delete as fancruft and too idiosyncratic to be useful. Essentially, this wants to be a listing of all previous continuity references to the old series of Doctor Who in the new series. In the new series episode articles, we (the Doctor Who Wikiproject) have actually noted these numerous references as and when they appear, and there is no real need for a central repository, especially one with such an awkward name. khaosworks (talk • contribs) 07:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waikouaiti Domestic Airport

Delete - Complete junk, Waikouaiti is a very small town that perhaps has a grass strip and a windsock somewhere. Certainly no airport, no airlines, unlikely ever to be notable - SimonLyall 07:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of New Zealand-related deletions. - SimonLyall 07:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - "Waikouaiti Domestic Airport is situated two Kilometres out of the town centre yet is basically non functional. Very few flights, mainly small engine fixed wing aircraft associated with agricultural spraying operate from the airstrip which is not suitable for commercial passenger use." from the Waikouaiti article. The airport article though states it flies to Australia. Yeah, right. Hoax. --Midnighttonight 07:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - the only airstrip in the vicinity of Waikouaiti shown on the official LINZ mapping data is 234 Metres in length, and is approx 7 km south of the township. International Jet flights would have to be diverted to Invercargill, Queenstown or Christchurch, even Taieri airport at 700 Metres length wouldnt be suitable, and its only 13 kilometres north of Dunedin Airport. Now thats objectivity and diligence. However, if you are in a small aircraft running out of fuel and your pda finds this article, the lat long coordinates might be helpful.. Long 170 37' 18.8 Lat -45 38' 33.48. Personally I would would like to see all airstrips in NZ logged, but I'm picking theres some reason to establish a threshold... is it lack of funds and therefore server space / bandwidth? how is the threshold determined? moza 14:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as complete bollocks. My uncle used to like in Waikouaiti, and I spent some time in the town last month. No airport - a small airstrip used by local farmers for topdressing flights, yes, but little more than that (BTW, Waikouait' has a population of 800). Never used as a redirection from Dunedin airport - nothing larger than a Cessna would be able to land there. As for linking to Sydney and Brisbane, well, work it out. It doesn't even link to Oamaru and Dunedin. As Moza says, Dunedin flights are diverted to Invercargill or Christchrch. Oh, just correct a couple of Moza's comments, BTW - it's closer to 50km from Momona (Dunedin airport). Momona has, to my knowledge never been closed through congestion, only through flooding or fog (though if Momona was out of action for those reasons, Taieri Aerodrome would be too). Perhaps the coordinates of the strip could be part of a List of airports and airstrips in New Zealand, but that's all that would be needed. Grutness...wha? 23:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

1/ I believed that the discussion was to be on the articles' talk page, and then the vote moved here. Anyway, relax, 2/ I am a digital cartographer, I do have the official licensed data, I was diligent in my measurement, and it is only 13km to Taieri airport, from Momona, aka Dunedin Airport. The subject was diversion from Dunedin International. The Waikouaiti airstrip is close to 45km from Momona, but now we are wasting energy. Its clear now to all, and just process from here to end of story. 3/ Wikipedia has done well in recent testing for accuracy, compared with other information sources, but none of my pilot friends would need to use it for navigation, we use the latest released charts of course. I do mix up a bit of tongue in cheek, sorry. However, one of the primary activities in the cockpit of a single engine aircraft, is to scan and identify potential landing sites in case of engine failure. Vigilance and knowledge does save lives. 4/ I have driven through there many times, (but never spotted any planes, although one time there was a breath test bus in the middle of nowhere, and they told me of reports of red glows in the sky, aurora australis, my core passion) I spent a night in Waikouaiti back in 1993, on tour with the Jodi Vaughn and Eddie Low, true, maybe my pics could go on their articles, perhaps thats worth noting, lol guys. moza 05:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nicolas Courtois

I'm not at all convinced of the notability of this person. His first published paper appeared in 2000; he has 17, according to MathSciNet (or 20 according to a bio online). I believe the length of time has not been enough to make him truly notable. Even if he is an up and coming star (although this is not at all clear to me), can't we wait until he's won some awards or something? I wish to encourage some discussion and establish his notability and so I'm nominating the article. I'll start with saying I favor delete although I may change my mind based on discussion. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 10:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. No evidence of notability presented. Gamaliel 10:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I first heard of Courtois in connection with the XSL attack. Whether this makes him notable enough to deserve his own bio is questionable, but he is a genuine academic cryptographer with a publication record. As are, of course, several hundred other researchers in the field, and we probably don't want a biography article for every one of them. — Matt Crypto 10:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Probably keep I think Chan-Ho's standards for bios of academics are too restrictive. If musicians get kept for putting out two albums on a major label, then I think seventeen papers in six years listed on MathSciNet ought to do it. My only reservation is that the article itself doesn't mention any actual accomplishments. --Trovatore 04:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

His main claim to fame, I think is the XSL attack, I've added a blurb about that to the article. Paul August ☎ 06:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep [6] is plenty of hits for me. How many published papers do you want? Not even mentioning his attack on AES. kotepho 16:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't use the number of papers in my criteria for notability. I merely listed the number above for those, such as yourself, who feel it is important (since MathSciNet is only by subscription). Rather, I go by criteria on whether he would be considered notable by his peers. I rather suspect from reading the XSL attack page that his peers would consider him a good up and coming researcher but not particularly famous, and his future fame would seemingly depend on how this XSL attack turns out. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 00:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I think the issue is not really Courtois, but the standards for bios of academics. I think yours are too high. In my opinion it would be fine if every bio of a tenured full professor in a PhD-granting program at a research university, were kept. That doesn't mean we'll actually get a bio of every such person, just that they shouldn't be deleted. (BTW I don't think Courtois is a full prof yet, but he clearly meets that level of notability.) --Trovatore 00:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soukou

At the Wikipedia:WikiProject Japanese mythology, it has been established that this article is factually incorrect; the article is about a supposed creature in Japanese mythology that does not exist. We think it is likely that the information on the page is from an anime (possibly Naruto) or a videogame, but it is presented as an actual Japanese myth. {{prod}} was added to this page, but the page was edited by an anon. editor, who removed the tag and also added some poorly formatted additional information (which makes it more obvious that this is something from a game or anime, although it is still presented as an actual Japanese myth). MikeDockery 11:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Note: The anon. editor who removed the {{prod}} tag has now registered as User:Raze lb and presented additional evidence for the article's merits at Talk:Soukou. I am still not convinced, as the information is unsourced, but if the user can provide sources for this information, my opinion on this article may change. MikeDockery 05:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete I could only find one entry on the wiki project cited which says that they think it is a computer game creature, but nothing to indicate that it has been established as such. However, it is likely that the nom is right, so delete. Kcordina 12:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment We haven't firmly established where the information came from, only that it isn't information from Japanese mythology. If we could find out specifically where the information is from, we would move or merge the page. However, since we can't establish the origins, we decided to list for deletion. MikeDockery 12:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tollycraft and Robert Merland Tollefson

Delete Fails wp:corp guidelines for notability--Porturology 12:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. The nom has to do way better than cite some guideline page to justify deleting a yacht manufacturer that operated for 60+ years. Thousands of Tollycrafts exist and are bought and sold by boat enthusiasts worldwide. The company obviously had a great story and one that was important in the the state of Washington. I see no reason to weaken the coverage of boat builders at wikipedia as seen in category: boat builders. -- JJay 12:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Note I strongly support an article on the boats and their designer/builder but this article is a stub of corporate history that basically says the company has been twice bankrupted. Therefore it should be judged on WP:CORP. If the article can be changed to reflect the story of the boats and their place in Washington State history I will gladly withdraw the nomination. As user:JJay has defended the article here and at prod perhaps the onus of improving the article should fall on him--Porturology 13:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: I'm sure you are perfectly capable of improving articles to fit your personal criteria. I've added a reference now it's your turn. I would point out, though, that the history of the manufacture of the boats is intimately linked with the history of the company. You should also know that this was a publicly traded company, it's stock having been listed in 1959. By the 1990s its largest yachts were selling for upwards of $1million and its production was exported to Canada, Europe and Japan. If you need more info, try google [8]. However, Afd is not cleanup-- JJay 13:21, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Err, yeah, those pesky guideline-lovers and the wild and crazy guidelines they spout on about! If this was an important business there should be more references availiable, particulary along the "today X number of jobs were lost..." genre. While it won't ever meet the guideline for inclusion of a business and as it stands I'd recomend deletion, given two or three more citations in Wikipedia:Reliable sources I'd probably be swayed. - brenneman^{T}{L} 13:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I've also added it's founder to this afd. - brenneman^{T}{L} 13:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Based on your comment, can I infer that you have spent time looking for references for this article? Also please explain, given the extensive news coverage of Tollycraft and its boats, why you feel this company does not qualify per wiki guidelines? -- JJay 13:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

  No inference is required to see the giant bold letters on the box on one of the most fundamental and foundational principles upon which wikipedia is built: The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it. - brenneman^{T}{L} 14:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• That's interesting. So when you wrote "it won't ever meet the guideline for inclusion" (emphasis added), you were in fact just speculating and your assertion was based on no effort on your part, because hey, why make any effort, when you just want to remove content. Thanks for the clarification. -- JJay 14:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Tollycraft and merge Robert Merland Tollefson. Not being a boat enthusiast, I hadn't heard of Tollycraft, but google brings up a few independent articles about Tollycraft, and the link of the Tollycraft boat club was enough to clinch it. I think it meets WP:CORP, albeit barely; but the founder should be merged. -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 15:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tiny programming languages

This article has been a stub for almost a year and nobody has done anything with it. As currently written, it's pretty much of a disaster. Perhaps it should just be redirected to Domain-specific programming language? -- RoySmith (talk) 13:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

When I first proposed this, I wasn't sure if delete or redirect made more sense. Based on the discussion, I've come to the conclusion that Delete is the right thing. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for clearing that up. --Muchness 15:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Domain-specific programming language. The article is unverifiable original research made up in school after the first class of Compiler Construction 101. I doubt the described language exists or has a chance of existing other than as a joke. Little languages do exist and there is an article about those. Weregerbil 15:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Domain-specific programming language per above. --Muchness 15:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

If it's a neologism, then it seems to me delete would make more sense than a redirect. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd guess "small/tiny/little (programming) language" are all the same, none of the terms is any more "official" than the others. IMHO delete as unlikely typo is just as fine, especially given that the title is plural. Or create all redirects: small/tiny/little/wee = 4, with "programming" or not = 2, plural or singular = 2, total = 16 variants :-) Weregerbil 16:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Let's not forget small language (computer science), plus all the combinatorial varients on that :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 16:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm fine with deleting; I voted redirect because a) redirects take up minimal resources, and b) this is a plausible phrase, so a redirect would aid searches. --Muchness 22:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as worthless. This has looked virtually the same since July 5 of last year. There is absolutely no indication that anyone will take an interest in it and expand it.

[edit] Masters of Destruction

Article currently totally uncited. Google news shows one hit and vanilla google shows nothing to indicate they are encyclopedic outside being one of over twenty gangs mentioned in a local paper. Delete. - brenneman^{T}{L} 13:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Vizjim. JoshuaZ 16:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this pathetic nonsense. Today seems to be GangCruft day. It's an encyclopedia folks. Deizio 16:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Not totally understanding your logic there, Deizio. This encyclopaedia contains information on many topics. Why should verifiable gangs not be included? This information could well be of use to researchers in the future.Vizjim 16:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

What makes them noteworthy? We're not talking the Crips or Bloods here. Existence does not equal notability. Nothing in the article is verified. Of your poorly presented "sources" we have something called "gangsorus" which I am not convinced is verifiable media coverage, an article from the Sacramento Bee with the line: "He worked as a cook at Burger King and ran with MOD (Masters of Destruction), a Hmong gang whose influence has spread from California to the Carolinas." and another local paper which merely mentions the name of this gang in a long list of gang names. The Sacramento Bee article is undated, but from quotes like "..is scheduled to return home by 2002" and the 1999 data in the included grapic we can also surmise that this is not recent media coverage. Please familiarize yourself with WP source, citation, general style and especially notability guidelines. I would also recommend you improve the article instead of blowing hot air on the AfD vote. The indiscriminate extension of the "Fresno Bulldog Gangs" walled garden is not, IMO, a desirable road to go down. Deizio 16:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Now, now, no need to be rude. This really isn't that important an issue, surely? I have tried my (limited) best to improve the article already, as well as "blowing hot air", a phrase for which there seems to be little need. If you care so passionately about this, well, crikey, I'll just walk away. My understanding is that non-notability is a point of view issue and not necessarily grounds for deletion.Vizjim 17:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Non-notability is exactly the determiner of retention or deletion. Everything else including content, style, popularity, tastefulness etc. is secondary. If you thought the "blowing hot air" comment was rude, I apologise. Then again we are discussing an article about people who apparently commit forced rapes, violent thefts and lots more non kitten-and-bunny-stroking related activities. Deizio 17:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Not entirely true. As I understand it, Wikipedia is not paper, and obscurity is not necessarily a deletion criterion. See Notability page. In this case, a gang operating over several states, for whatever reason, seems to me a sufficient phenomenon to be worth recording. The article could do with a clean-up, but not deletion.(Oh, on the rudeness thing, apology accepted.)Vizjim 18:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Sweet. But what is not entirely true? I didn't say anything about obscurity and could not agree more that Wiki is not paper. I said "Non-notability is exactly the determiner of retention or deletion". That's a fact. An article can be about an obscure, tasteless or useless subject, as long as it passes the notability criteria. You've quoted WP:N but I think you could give it another once over. Deizio 18:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I can't believe that I need to recommend this to an experienced editor such as yourself, but maybe you should check the Deletion policy? Non-notability is not a core determiner of retention or deletion, and, as the notability page establishes, it is controversial whether it should ever be such a criterion. Therefore in the case of a gang which has been the cause of multiple serious assaults (and is therefore notable to the person who created this article, researchers into Hmong immigrant experience, researchers into gangs at the turn of the millenium, etc), I'm surprised to see you mention it as your core reason for voting a certain way. That said, it seems a good compromise to merge and redirect. By the way, you might also want to take a wee glance at (WP:Civil). Oh, and maybe think about the reasons why people might offer arguments and votes on an AfD without having the core knowledge necessary to improve an article.Vizjim 09:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• I missed the meeting where "Non-notability is not a core determiner of retention or deletion" became policy, truly I did. Look up and down the AfD page and tell me how often you see the word (non) notable and the abbreviation "nn". WP:N is an essay, not a policy or guideline. And get outta here with the WP:CIVIL stuff, this is about the tamest discussion I've been involved in. Finally you can thank me for sorting out this little episode by creating the Hmong gangs page, we're past this now. Deizio 10:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which is what I was pointing you towards, does not list notability as a core criterion for deletion. However many times it is used on the AfD pages, it is still not the official policy of Wikipedia to limit itself to what its most vocal users find acceptable. Vizjim 12:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a police database. Brian G. Crawford 17:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A real gang, frequently in the news, particuarly in Wisconsin, for murder and other mayhem. Definitely deserves inclusion here. -- JJay 18:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• That's more like it. Jjay, your cleanup of the article and inclusion of sources which back up these claims will be a shining example to Vizjim. Thanks in advance. Deizio 18:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I missed the part where I have to clean up articles to please people who use terms like "pathetic nonsense" or "cruft". If you need help editing, try Wikipedia:How to edit a page. Also see WP:Civil . -- JJay 19:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Hmm. I would prefer it if people could back up their claims of notability with facts and sources JJ. That's all. The article doesn't really have any right now, you see. If they are "frequently in the news", why did Brenneman have so little luck in his googling? If your vote came from a new editor it would look like sockpuppety. As for my earlier comments they related to the article when I first saw it and the available info at the time. Deizio 19:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Further comment. To help Deiz add sources to the article, I thought he might want to start with these related to Wisconsin/Minnesota cases [10]. -- JJay 19:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• As JJay is presumably well aware, that link leads to headlines and the full content is subscription only, hence not really useful for linking. However I have found some recent press coverage and linked accordingly. I'm satisfied there is notability here but am voting to create "Hmong gangs", then merge and redirect this article, Oriental Ruthless Boys (also currently an AfD) and allow scope for the addition of others without ending up here again. My annoyance with editors who consistently vote to keep articles but show no interest in, knowledge of or willingness to save such articles remains undimmed. Deizio 23:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Vizjim. There is plenty of precedent for articles on notable street gangs. (See List of street gangs.) And this gang is clearly notable. For example, the Sacramento Bee refers to it as "a Hmong gang whose influence has spread from California to the Carolinas". dbtfz^talk 19:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of physically unusual fictional planets

Was PROD-ed, but removed as "has huge potential for literary scholarship" by user JJay . Poorly entry criterion of "considerably different", "fiction" here appears to apply to video games as well as novels, and tantamount to original research. If and when we can assemble a list of fictional planets that ware refered to in reliable sources as "physically unusual" than this will need an article. Right now, it doesn't.

• Delete and don't merge. I created this page out of a very lengthy section on physically unusual planets that had already existed at Planets in science fiction.

• • I don't appreciate my comments being edited. You could simply comment that you disagree instead of changing my words. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it was improper or not, it's here now. NickelShoe 18:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (edit 18:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC))
  • Apparently the prod removal was simply a result of merging page histories, so I've struck that claim. NickelShoe 21:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as copyvio unless the author can provide evidence that the book is public domain. Admits to be copied from a book. I searched worldcat and couldn't find it, but that may be a problem with the westernization of the arabic title. Otherwise this appears to be a hagiography of a Sufi Imam. Although I can't tell if the article is talking about the person named in the title, it's that poorly written. I don't know what makes an Imam notable. If kept, the article badly needs re-translation, cleanup, context, NPOV and assertion of notability. Thatcher131 16:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per my original PROD. Sandstein 16:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. To Sandstein's reasons we can add WP:NPOV - paragon for the Awliya-i-kiram, etc. What does quddisa sirruh mean and do we allow it in Wikipedia articles? -- RHaworth 18:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment quddisa sirruh literally means may his soul be blessed and is used for Islamic scholars etc. Do we allow it? Yes, I think it's a valid extension of WP:Civility Dlyons493 Talk 22:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless shown not to be copyvio, also needs major rewriting. Dlyons493 Talk 22:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kingdom Hearts III

WP:NOT a crystal ball. Currently this article contains a single quote on this unconfirmed game. Delete for now, and re-create when there is more information. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 15:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unreleased game. Never heard of the first two either, so it's not particularly culturally significant enough to allow for attempts to produce it to be important (and even then it should be confirmed news rather than wild speculation - e.g. if a series of big name writers had contributed scripts to an eagerly anticipated film in long time development) Average Earthman 23:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Kingdom Hearts 2 just came out and was the Japanese top selling video game for a while. However, this is just a crystal ball article. It may will become an official game in the future but it is too early to create an article. --J. Nguyen 23:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Nothing is really known about KH III yet... --tinyboy21

Delete. Non-notable person, appears to be a singer in a garage band. Only reference I could find on him in a google search was to his myspace profile. Xyzzyplugh 16:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. When the only thing you can find is a myspace, that pretty much settles the notability question. Daniel Case 16:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, This is the guitarist/singer that used to be in The Danes (who used to tour with Tripping Daisy) he may not be Neil Diamond but us Danes fans like to keep track of the Danes off shoots and reminisce about that night in Altamont, 128.206.119.146 19:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• DO NOT DELETE. I believe this information regarding Mr. McNeill is possibly the result of a project my eight year old son was doing for school. The project was on the unsung heroes of the entertainment industry. My son contacted the Discovery Channel with questions and they forwarded them to several of their producers, camera men, make-up artists, etc. Mr. McNeill was one of the individuals who received my son's questions and Mr. McNeill was more than willing to help him out with his report by providing his personal experiences and stories, not to mention some pictures and memorabilia from the Discovery Channel (my son is a big fan). The outlook that my son, with Mr. McNeill’s assistance, was able to give to his classmates challenged what many minors view as a glamorous entertainment industry. I believe information for Ryan McNeill is important for children who are aspiring members of the entertainment industry so they will not have a false impression of what TV/Movies/Magazines has given us, but also as a testament to never give up. --Abbryan 19:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• I'm curious, what challenges did this person overcome which have been mentioned in this article? Fame too large for Oklahoma and free lance visionary don't seem particularly challenging, to me. Delete, vanity. Followup: artistdirect and allmusic never heard of him (though allmusic has basically-empty pages on Ryan McNeil and Ryan MacNeill), nor do they know The Danes. And we don't have an article on them, either. Ten Google hits for '"Ryan McNeill" "the danes"' Two Google hits for '"Ryan McNeill" "Debate Team"', both myspace pages.

• In the article he stated that "..his growing level of discontent took him on a dark path. One that would lead him to seedier parts of Dallas, TX and eventually land him in a minimum security detention center for advanced learners." He had not mentioned this to my son, but he told my son of some struggles with alcohol, drugs and sexual deviance. I was monitoring their correspondence out of protection for my son, but I did not get involved because I wanted him to grow through the experience. Mr. McNeill did not go into much detail regarding the alcohol, drugs and sexual deviances, which I appriciate due to the age of my son. At no time did I question the credibility of Mr. McNeill until this "Articles for deletion" was brought to my attention by his second grade teacher, who was so impressed by my son's report that she wanted to get more information on his sources. I assume it is possible that my son, not to mention his teacher and I, have been "Oprah-ed" by a possible James Frey wannabe. Possible, but not likely. Mr. McNeill was pleasant and helpful to my son. He did not have anything to gain, nor did he appear to have motives other than sharing his experiences to assist my son in earning an 'A', not to mention growing in knowledge. Has anyone attempted to contact Mr. McNeill personally? I prefer to honor his privacy due to his willingness to assist my son, but it is odd to me that the jury was quick to convict without a statement from the suspect.--Abbryan 01:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
