[edit] Declaration of peace

POV, unnotable as compared to other demonstrations that have occured against U.S. actions related to the War on Terror, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Controversey articles over the 9/11 Attacks, the War on Terror and the War in Iraq can handle this just fine, thank you. --Kitch 02:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Last I checked UPI and the Washingtonpost [1] [2] were major news outlets and wikipedia can handle this just fine, thank you. grazon 02:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • A mere news event can go into WikiNews. Unless this does something notable, merely existing does not mean it should have its own article. --Kitch 02:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The Washington Post coverage is a local city news article. See this link for the "Metro" category market in the top left corner. That's why the story is filed under the "Metro" section and not the "National" or "Politics" section. Remember, the Washington Post is not just a national newspaper, it is also a local and regional newspaper. There is no coverage of this event in the New York Times at time of writing[3].As for United Press International, this is a newswire service, and like its rivals, Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France Presse and so on, it carries many minor stories as it primarily services news outlets (its main customers) with as a great a choice of news as possible, and is not primarily driven by editorial selection of stories. A Newswire is not comparable to a major newspaper in terms of news selection. Bwithh 13:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

This is a week long event and the arrest of jim winkler alone makes this important enough to be on wikpedia. grazon 02:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Article needs serious work, but seems to meet WP:ORG and WP:RS. Article should be focusing on the organization, rather than the demonstration, as that what the title reflects. eaolson 03:40, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There's no limit on amount of storage space we can use. Other marches and events like this get coverage, and it hurts nothing to have an encyclopediac article on it. You going to Afd Million Man March in 10 years as no longer relevant? · XP · 03:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, enough coverage for notableness. · XP · 03:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but wikify and clean-up. --Ineffable3000 04:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per nom. The cites are to small, "news-in-brief" sorts of articles, and the article would need to be rewritten from scratch to conform to Wikipedia standards. It's just another demonstration that will be forgotten in days. --Aaron 04:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NN, not encyclopedic. Tbeatty 06:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. As an added bonus, the article is unwikified, written in first person ("our"), and references are not inline. Andjam 06:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete press release. Gazpacho 07:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I suppose, but Wikipedia is not a place to promote things before they are noticed. Gazpacho 10:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have just formatted the article to help wikify it; however there needs to be a section added for against the Declaration of Peace as well as for. -- Casmith 789 08:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Keep. It needs some major TLC, but I think we can salvage it. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep this article is preliminary, because notability is still a bit questionable. however, the event is being covered in major newspapers, so it's not a clear-cut delete case and it may end up being clearly worthy (by my standards). deleting the article right now tends to close off options, because there is a strong bias against re-creation of deleted content. there's no harm in waiting a week to decide.Derex 09:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep 2420 references to this in the news today. Clearly has crossed the notability threshold. Even more notable than Lauren B. Weiner was (inside joke for T). Derex 10:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment You got to use quotation marks and targetted terms when searching google or google news or google whatever. Otherwise you get lots of false hits like this. If you use quotation marks for "declaration of peace" and add in term "iraq", you get only ~81 hits - mainly local news coverage, including local city news coverage from the Washington Post (notice that it's filed under the "Metro" section rather than "National" or "Politics"[4]. I didn't see any other major newspapers. Zero coverage in the New York Times for instance Bwithh 13:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Reply fair enough. with quotaion marks, it still gets well over 60 newspaper articles, including the washington post and several major city dailys, and is carried on the upi wire service. (it also gets +400 unique non-news hits). that meets my standards. i frankly don't see what's bad about providing information on what's clearly a reasonably large event, as indicated by the geographical breadth of the coverage). isn't that what we're supposed to do: provide neutral information about things people care about? people seem to care about this, as evidenced by widespread coverage. Derex 08:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Actually, if you want to use my notability standard on Weiner, I voted Delete--Tbeatty 17:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Merge to Protests_against_the_2003_Iraq_war or Delete if not Merged Event has only had local news/small newspaper and independent internet media (e.g. indymedia coverage so far (about 81 hits on Google News). Special week and special day declarations are a dime a dozen. If this gets any major traction sufficient for major news sources, than promote the article. Otherwise, its just another protest event. It has some national organization, so ok to include in the main protests article but not for its own article. Bwithh 13:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. Crockspot 13:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Johnbrownsbody 13:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or Delete By itself it is a local news story. As part of a greater whole, it might be notable. Either way it does not stand alone as its own article. Maadio 17:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Morton devonshire 19:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete promotion. Perhaps in a few months it will be possible to separate hype from fiction. Guy 23:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge to Protests against the Iraq War. Of the other protests described in that article, the most recent one to have a separate article, September 24, 2005 anti-war protest reported an attendance of 150,000 people in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post's coverage of this event reports 75 attendees at the "kick-off" event for this protest in D.C. on the 21st. I think the difference in scales is compelling evidence that this is insufficiently notable for a separate article. Choess 23:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note of order: By precedent, and I invoke the deletion of George Allen Smith, which stated that routine publicity is not enough to make a subject notable enough for an article. --Kitch 18:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not TV Guide. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 01:42, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• DirecTV list and Dish Network lists are NOT the same, as someone incorrectly noted. Thus, if a list of DirecTV channels is good, then a Dish Network list is also fine. If one is deleted, both should be. The problem is the can of worms being opened up if they are kept, because one could then argue that a listing of any cable systems line-up would also be relevant. I'd delete both listings, but I would replace with a thorough listing of cable channels available on a nationwide basis in the U.S. That list could easily include the Dish Network and/or DirecTV channels (if applicable). Indeed, a channel's inclusion on one of these systems (or Comcast) would serve as excellent criteria for inclusion on this comprehensive channel listing. Goeverywhere 02:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I agree with the both or none argument. I also don't have a problem with combining both into one complete grid, that can also include cable systems. Though there is one problem with that.. While DirecTV and Dish Network are both national satelite providers (With the same channel numbers no matter where your at in the country), Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and other cable providers are still very regional with channel numbers that vary from city to city. I think it will be a useful list, but impossible to control on the Cable side. EnsRedShirt 03:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Could be useful reference to someone looking up what channel something's on. Wavy G 03:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I have DISH, and can think of times such a list would be useful. Merge, per user:Mbcossette's comments below. Also, as someone above noted, DISH and DirecTV aren't the same company, so redirecting is a bad idea, akin to redirecting FOX to CBS. Firsfron of Ronchester 07:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: There is already a List of Dish Network channels. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 00:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Note: That list was created just a few hours ago, possibly in response to this AfD. Firsfron of Ronchester 01:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I also have a source we can use to contribute to this grid: dishchannelchart.com. myTrackerTV (myTalk|myWork|myInbox) 14:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems useful and verifiable. OBILI ® ± 14:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Interesting information regarding the numbering schemes etc Aika 15:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge I wrote this article. I felt that since DirecTV, Sirius Radio, and XM all had channel guides, so should Dish Network. Someone copied the entire article verbatem and revamped the List of Dish Network channels. The list originally just listed the stations in two or three columns with no channel numbers, which in my mind is the reason to have a list. Since the AfD I have updated the Grid, bringing the channel names up to date and have even re-copied my work over to the List of Dish Network channels. I am planning to add more information. I've already put in about 12 hours into this project and I'm still learning the finer parts of the Wikipedia coding. I feel that if someone wants to put their cable listings up as well, they should be able to. Wikipedia isn't a TV guide, but it is a reference tool. If someone is thinking about getting cable or satellite TV, Wikipedia should be the ultimate source of information about all your options. Mbcossette 21:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with List of Dish Network channels. --Caldorwards4 02:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to List of Dish Network channels and do not keep. Article names for similar article should follow a common form and format. Also the author supports the delete and we don't lose any information by doing a delete or merge. Vegaswikian 22:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per OBILI --Bill.matthews 02:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of interracial couples

Unreferenced list of people. With "race" being as difficult to define as it is (except in specific societies which categorize people by race, such as Apartheid South Africa or the Old U.S. South) how can we tell what an "interracial couple" is? Under what racial categories do "Alexander the Great and his wife Roxana of Persia" or "King Hussein of Jordan and (1) Princess Muna, (2) Queen Noor" belong exactly? up+l+and 23:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Just a few questions: it seems unlikely that this will be kept at this point, but just in case it is, I would like some comments from those wishing to keep it. I have not found any policy page explaining which racial classification system is to be considered normative to use on Wikipedia, and I have some other issues as well.

• For instance, I always find myself stuck when trying to determine whether a person belongs to the Nordic race or the Alpine race, and I also frequently confuse people of the Alpine race with those of the Mediterranean race - could we please have some clear instructions? (I assume any couple with an Alpine partner and a Nordic one has to be included in this list.)
• Without good pictures, determining whether a persone is dolichocephalic or brachycephalic can be pretty difficult. Perhaps we could make sure we have a clear set of skull measurements in an infobox in each biography?
• And how are we going to do with people of African descent — I think "negroes" is the proper terminology, am I right? — are we going to use the one-drop rule? It does after all have a long tradition of established use. For instance, it has been reported in the Swedish press that new prime minister-elect Fredrik Reinfeldt has a great great grandfather who was a "mulatto from New York".[6] Does that make him a negro? Does it make his relationship with his wife Filippa an interracial one? Or do we first have to trace all her ancestors five generations back, to make sure she doesn't also have a similar amount of "negro" ancestry?

Well, there are many questions, but with the help of the enlightened users of Wikipedia, I'm sure this can all be figured out. up+l+and 05:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

My favorite part is "in fiction." Jane Austin never explicitly says that Elizabeth Bennet is white, you know. I have a feeling that was an interracial couple. Also, I don't recall Daniel Defoe saying that Robinson Crusoe was white. (The one drop rule should definitely apply, and then there will be no interracial couples, as everyone has a drop of everything.) Geogre 11:44, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete They all fit in as being members of the human race. And with the (very) odd exception the only interracial couples in that sense are fictional. As it stands this is a strong POV risk and troll-bait, as well as serving no encyclopedic purpose. Grutness...wha? 00:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. In my opinion it's not that there's a POV risk/troll bait, it's that the entries are unverified and the definition of race is unclear. ColourBurst 00:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, and for listcruft (a list impossible to maintain or make comprehensive, even if the subject weren't already impossible to categorize). -Markeer 01:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The article is bad (and doesn't assert importance) but the nomination is invalid. The idea that these people are in interracial couples can be verified through media reports. JASpencer 09:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It shouldn't be deleted for the original reason stated but as others have said the list could go forever. While there may be arguments as to how each race should be classified or how one can determine to which race they belong the term is not a mythical concept. This article needs to be tidied up. The race of both partners, full names, links to partners who are on wikipedia (Iman-model), etc. would be useful. It could be helpful when people are doing research on race relations and as a link to a more detailed article on interracial marriage and relationships.TMacII 12:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete totally unreferenced list. It also gets pretty silly as it branches into interplanetary couples, such as William Riker and Deanna Troi. Also, in most cases it doesn't even bother to say what races the various couples are, thus negating the sole potential research value of the list.

• Delete per nominator. JIP | Talk 12:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Unmaintainable list, wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Maintaining this list would involve wikipedians indefinitely racially classifying people and deciding which couples don't match. That's not just unencyclopedic, it's downright creepy and it debases wikipedia as a whole. --IslaySolomon 14:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep First off, just because a page is vulnerable or attractive to vandals is not a reason to remove it, second, what exactly is wrong with the list? I understand if some people find this somehow offensive, but this too is not a reason to remove it, if we started removing everything that offended someone, this encyclopedia would be alot smaller. — Joshua Johaneman 20:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I started to vote the other way until I saw Geogre's rationale that "no one cares about miscegenation". Right. But when it comes to "marrying black", it just "somehow" hasn't happened to you -- and better not happen to your daughter, eh?. Reminds me of folks who indignantly insist that racism in the U.S. is a figment of the black imagination, while ignoring those "asides" made at Christmas Dinner by Uncle Archie, Cousin Georgia-Sue and Grandpa Bubba about not hiring, not renting to, and just not liking them. Please. Some of us remember when miscegnation was illegal in most of the U.S., integrated anything was illegal in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and immigration of people of color was de facto illegal in Australia, New Zealand and other "white havens" around the world. This list documents, even if amateurishly, major change-in-progress headed in the other direction. And hope for human oneness Lethiere 05:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

An advertorial stub about an automotive website (Alexa:475,528). While there's enough here to warrant adding links to the Cadillac & LaSalle articles, there's really no need to have an article on the website itself. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 23:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

The result was delete. Ultimately, the subject of this article lacks notability that is demonstrable throuh reliable sources. The state of the article, and the amount of cleanup warranted, were not raised as reasons for its proposed deletion, and are not compelling reasons to prevent deletion. With that said, arguments that solicitation for votes in web comic polls is proof of the comic's lack of notability are also not convincing, as comics such as Inverloch boost their rankings by asking for votes (which is one of the reasons Inverloch is #1 at topwebcomics.com). If the comic wins an award or gets significant press coverage, or the site qualifies under WP:WEB, (yet) another go at this can be had. For now, however, Abstract Gender is not sufficiently notable.

[edit] Abstract Gender

This article was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abstract Gender. The article contains no assertion of notability, and no third party references or sources from reliable outlets. The site has an Alexa rank of 125,000. We have one guideline for web material WP:WEB, we should start applying it with the same standard and integrity to webcomics as we do other websites. - Hahnchen 00:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as a repost. Tagged as such. MER-C 03:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I've removed the tag. The original deleted article was created as webspam a few months after the launch of the comic. Although I'm not one of the pedantic, "content must be the same for g4" people, I think taking this through AFD would generate a clearer consensus. - Hahnchen 04:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: What improvements do you suggest? -- Dragonfiend 18:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (and continue to improve, of course). It has potential, and also, non-induvidualy-notable KeenSpot comics seem to be afforded an article because they're with KeenSpot. AG's close ties with The Wotch and a number of others should give them the same benifit, no? (Actualy, existing should, but I'm not going to press that. Today, anyway.) --Kinkoblast 14:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'd like to point out that KeenSpot comics are a different matter, since they seem to meet the third criteria of WP:WEB, which is "The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." Pleather 23:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: By that criteria, any of the crap on Geocities is notable, and, more directly, less-popular comics hosted on comicgenisis are more notable in the wikipedia sense than self-hosted pages? --Kinkoblast 15:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Some of the votes above just show the farcical gulf between the application of WP:WEB, WP:V and WP:RS to general websites and webcomics. We delete other websites with no assertion of notability such as Pokemon-Safari, Final Fantasy Shrine, and Encyclopedia Dramatica, each of them a hell of a lot more popular than Abstract Gender. How are you going to "improve" an encyclopedia article on an unencyclopedic nn subject, that reasoning is just a reiteration of "Keep - I like it". - Hahnchen 14:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Hahnchen should be commended for presenting the issues at hand in a fair, well-reasoned manner. The discussion of other webcomic's current presence on WP is extraneous. The bottom line is that this needs to meet WP:WEB. And unless I'm missing something, it doesn't. Pleather 23:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but with the understood caveat that the article needs improvement.Johnbrownsbody 23:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: How is improving the content of the article going to change the notability of the website itself? This is a quantitative issue, not a qualitative one. It would probably be helpful, all around, to stay focused on addressing the issues raised by the AfD nominator.Pleather 23:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: What improvements do you, Pleather, suggest? -- Dragonfiend 18:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This webcomic is minor- there are also no reliable sources to verify it. How can you tell it's minor? For starters, on its home page, it has a big "DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR US!" at the top, which should be a dead giveaway. It has an unremarkable Alexa ranking , and only 29 unique sites link to it, all of which are blogs, forums, or submission webcomic directories. Keeping under "the article needs improvement" is not a valid argument- it doesn't address the question of whether the article should even exist.

--Wafulz 23:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep As thewebcomiclist.com has been cited before in other articles and debates... (an example is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterminatus_Now "The comic is rather popular, listed 65th in The Webcomic List"), Abstract Gender is listed as #50, which is -- I might say, rather high in the list, with the other comics near it mostly listed on Wikipedia.
• Delete per nom and Wafulz. The forum doesn't seem to have many members either. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 01:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Only 1620 members... seems like a lot to me.
    • Comment - This is absolutely misleading. 1620 members isn't a lot for a start, but the reason for this number is that the forums are hosted by another webcomic, which is a lot more popular. - Hahnchen 04:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and like-minded above. "Improve" is meaningless - the article is fine, it's the subject which is just not notable. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 20:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Can someone can explain why Exterminatus Now deserves to be kept when this one does not? Exterminatus Now is no more notable than this comic (arguably less if you go by its only source, thewebcomiclist.com). At the very least it should meet the same fate as this one, whatever that is. AG has apparently, looking at its archives, improved both in readership and quality since the last AFD a year ago, unlike many webcomics that die off quickly. Diagonalfish 02:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - You may also be interested in nominating such gems such as DoomDaze, Lowroad75 and Tween (webcomic). There are many other nn-comics on WP, like Later That Day..., Rogue Robot and Fishtanked, but it's more important to nominate the first 3 as they are linked from the list of webcomics advertising portal. - Hahnchen 17:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anime Arcadia

Another unsourced and non notable webcomic, seen here. This webcomic was suspended in August this year, and its current Alexa rank at 180,000 may be slightly misleading. The Alexa rank 3 months ago was 130,000. As the other webcomics nominated today, there are no reliable sources and no assertion of notability. Searching for "anime arcadia" on Google largely brings up irrelevent links, and if you add the webcomic writer in the search string, it brings up around 40 links + 40 links maximum. - Hahnchen 00:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catharsis (comic)

You can see this webcomic here. There are no assertions of notability made in the article, and no professional reviews/commentary etc can be found on Google. An Alexa rank of 300,000 suggests that it is not popular. Note, on the Alexa "sites linking in" report, the Wikipedia list of webcomics is on top, does that mean most incoming links come from that infamous advertising board? - Hahnchen 00:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, not even the slightest hint of notability established and article contains nothing but a small outline and a list of characters. WP is not an advertising medium for the world's pet projects.

There's quite a few absolutely nn-webcomics which I haven't yet nominated because they're still orphaned links and will never get any spamming attention.

The result was keep but rename to Hispanic and Latino politics in the United States. I know that I am disregaring several "delete" suggestions below, so let me explain why. First, let me point out that deleting an article containing original research is not the proper remedy; the proper remedy in this case is editing. One editor assesses this article as inherently OR, which is grounds for deletion, but I don't think that has been established. For example, this Gsearch comes back with more than 100,000 hits, and looking through the first ten, one sees the domains include the Annenberg Public Policy Center, USNews, UPenn, etc. This is clearly a subject of informed and scholarly debate, and although the current incarnation of the article could use with a lot more sourcing, there is no question these sources exist. Finally, in terms of analogy and precedent, not that there are at least five analogous articles about the Black constituency in the U.S., namely: Garveyism, Black nationalism, Black populism, African American leftism, and Black conservatism. Surely an even larger group has enough effect on politics to generate one article? --- Deville (Talk) 16:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Hello, the article is basically a cut and paste work off the main article on Hispanics. And, such an article is also needed for the template on Latinos. And, while you're add it also work on deleting the Hispanics and Religion article for the same reason. Geez, have some patience. Also, wouldn't it be great if someone informed you about articles up for deletion like what's done for images that are put up for deletion. It's also amazing how anyone can vote for deletion, especially those who have no idea about the direction of Latino-related articles on Wikipedia. --JuanMuslim ^1m 04:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment please don't resort to personal attacks against me.

[edit] Marks up

Non-notable children's game. Looks like something made up in school one day. Andrew Levine 01:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually Andrew, it is a fairly common game played in Australia, and although it may not be known overseas, it is well-known in parts of Australia. I was expanding a stub on the Aussie Rules page, but I am fairly new here and still learning the ropes and I am still learning what to do and what not to do, so if you feel that this wiki should be deleted, then by all means, go ahead. --Stuart D. 05:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, Stuart. We have to be able to provide reliable sources to back the information up. See WP:CITE and WP:V. Andrew Levine 06:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per MCB. Had a look at some playground games site and couldn't find this one. I can and will happily change that vote if someone can come up with a good link. I think half the problem here is that a lot of these playground games have different names - it might be called something else and be abundantly listed on the web under that name.

Non-notable Norwegian anime forum. Article itself reads like a guide to the website.

The article is supposed to stress the lobbying aspect of the group which has been successful in changing the policies and marketing of companies in UK. I have ammended the article to stress this. If the website itself can't meet WP:WEB then the link can be taken off, but this is only there to direct the reader who wishes to know more about the group. --Mattsibley 19:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Contested prod about a website that asserts its non-notability, e.g."Dec 2005: 578 active members". MER-C 02:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. 500-odd members is seriously tiny. Zetawoof^(ζ) 02:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Regardless of a site's popularity, portals are not encyclopdia-worthy IMHO. If the portal contributes to something significant in past or current history, or is a significant part of current popular culture, then it would be worthy of a page. As an example of a portal having its own article, 2channel has one because it is linked to pop culture, specifically responsible for the creation of Densha Otoko. I don't see any criteria around that says "as long as XXXX site has YYYY users, then it is okay to have its own page." If this Soompi article slides by, then EVERY portal - and there's millions of them - are allowed to create articles for themselves on Wikipedia. The outcome of this removal request will set a documented precedence for all future articles regarding portals. Groink 04:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; appears to be a forum site rather than a portal site, but with 500 members it's clearly not notable. --MCB 06:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

It's a portal. The link posted on the main article page incorrectly points to the forum. The main portal site is http://www.soompi.com/ . Groink 07:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:WEB. Also, member count is very low, and according to the article, it's actually gone down. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Note that although the article right now is rubbish, that Soompi has an Alexa rank of 1,200 and that the statistics on big-boards indicates 60,000 members. I'm not voting to keep, because the article isn't any good and doesn't assert its notability, but this website is more popular than pretty muchevery single webcomic on Wikipedia. - Hahnchen 02:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Not particularly notable, as far as I can tell. Has performed a few places. Article does not assert notability. Adam Cuerden ^talk 02:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Note: Another of Musikfabrik's promotional sites, I think. (Statement 2 of the Jean-Thierry Boisseau discussion here, specifically says Musikfabrik was set up to do this.}}

• Again vanity, delete. Musikfabrik cabal pushing over-obscure people to articles. No. Moreschi 15:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• On second thoughts, perhaps keep. I don't really know. "Carson Cooman composer" (to distinguish him from the other carson coomans of this world) has 9,000 google hits, but then "Adam Cuerden" (real name) has 22,000. Tricky. Moreschi 11:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• • A search for "Carson Cooman" in quotes, however, gives a mere 882 hits. "Carson P. Cooman" (again in quotes), 971 more, and "Cooman, Carson", 397. There's likely to be significant overlap. Meanwhile, the I-don't-think-I'm-notable "Adam Cuerden" (in quotes) gives 12,000. Delete, IMO. Adam Cuerden ^talk 12:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Looks like a case for deletion --Folantin 12:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He sounds a talented man with many achievements; I have tried to be convinced, but the article doesn't establish it as my opinion that he is notable per WP:MUSIC. The article says he has composed 600 works - a reference to a review of one of them by a reviewer in a national journal independently opining that it is a notable composition would convince me. I notice that one of the hundreds of works the article says he has premiered is by Peter Maxwell Davies, although the piece was not written for him; however, although this appears to be his most notable first performance, it does not of itself convince me, either; I was somewhat surprised that it is not mentioned in the article. His activities as journal editor, music reviewer, and collaborator with authors would be good article content if he were otherwise notable. Notable teachers (and Bernard Rands and Gillian Weir certainly are notable) do not confer notability on the pupil. The references cited are his own website and Musikfabrik, neither qualifies as independent. --RobertG ♬ talk 14:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Universal School of Buffalo

Seems to be self-promotional spam, with no assertion of the notability of the school. Leuko 03:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• This is a way to open up collaboration for our teachers, staff, and particularly students. Intended to make an historical record of sorts as well. I got the idea from a book published by Will Richardson from Webbloged. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amosstarz (talk • contribs) .
• Delete per nom, self-promotion and no claims to notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, WP is WP:NOT a social networking tool (see 1.6 of WP:NOT). Articles about whatever the subject are better-off being written by someone who isn't directly involved with that subject. The kind of information required to establish notability is listed under WP:SCHOOL and could be of help to those editting this article. If notability can be established then I will happily change my vote, but the article as stands does not reflect the nature of Wikipedia. QuagmireDog 04:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment I should point out that WP:SCHOOL is not a Wikipedia policy, but an ongoing discussion as to how schools should define notability. That said, notability is not the only issue, WP:NOT is still in breech. QuagmireDog 08:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment I've looked around for some links on Google to see if I could find some references made to the school, but came up empty handed. The school seems very nice, nice website, which is why I've tried to find something, but all I can see is that the school is of course notable to its pupils and their families (more than notable), there's nothing out there justifying an article on WP. I'm wondering if Will Richardson from Webbloged was referring to a seperate wiki or mentioned the WP without discussing the requirements of notability etc? I would advise the staff of the school who are involved in this to seek information on setting up their own wiki, and hope this hasn't put them off Wikipedia (it can be great practice for your students to edit articles on all the subjects here). The Village Pump on the main page is also somewhere to turn to for help if needed. If someone else more experienced could have a quick look to see if they can find some notability citations I'd be greatful. QuagmireDog 04:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The school sounds interesting, but I cannot find any solid references either. Delete until verifiable sources become available on this school. Silensor 20:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

non-notable Wikipedian hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 03:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Previous AfD here.--Konstable 03:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Though the result of the recent AfD was keep I am not convinced of notability and I think it had a great deal of bias towards Simon just because he is a prominent Wikipedian.--Konstable 03:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is somewhat of a nuisance VfD given that the previous one was only about 4 months ago and nothing has changed much, see previous VfD for reasons why it should be kept. -- Stbalbach 04:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Editing Wikipedia a lot does not make one notable for a Wikipedia article. Adam Bishop 04:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree. But that is not why M. Pulsifer has an article. Xe has an article because, as a consequence of xyr editing Wikipedia a lot, journalists went out and interviewed and researched xem. In other words, xe is demonstrably notable because xe was noted. That the case for very few Wikipedians. Uncle G 18:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This discussion will never ever end. He has garnered a decent amount of coverage for his editing[15], I think he need to realize just because it involves Wikipedia, doesn't mean we should immedially remove it in fear of self reference or appearing to be hypocritical (that is a much different, and interesting debate). Honestly, he has been covered by sources which seem about reliable enough to just cover WP:BIO. Yanksox 04:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or you know, send to the Canadian-language wikipedia, unless it's being deleted like the Czech one. Mister.Manticore 04:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Yanksox. GreenJoe 04:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant Keep I don't think editing Wikipedia makes you even mildly notable, but he has been mentioned in several magazines/websites. I don't think he deserves an article though. TJ Spyke 05:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, flash-in-the-pan media coverage does not indicate any sort of long term significance. In a year or two, no one will care (no offense to Simon).--SB | T 05:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Sean, we can say that about nearly 2 to 3 fifths of all the subjects that have a Wikipedia entry. It's really difficult to gauge how big or noticed something will be further down the line. Yanksox 05:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I disagree. There was media coverage a few months ago, and that's it. It stopped. If we covered everything that got a smattering of newspaper articles, we'd have thousands of articles on moose who wandered into parks and criminals who forget to take the money when holding up convience stores.--SB | T 05:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Sean, alot of things gain coverage and then quickly fade away from the public eye. Just because people's attention spans suddenly put that event or person on the backburner does not mean that we just toss aside the subject as well because that's what the fashion tells us to do so. Honestly, some people or things are highly talked about and then almost fade away before our own eyes. You would have a hardtime deleting articles about anything that was part of non-stop talk and now suddenly noone cares about it. That would be utterly ridiculous. Yanksox 14:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Media coverage of Simon P has been ongoing since 2004 I believe (perhaps even earlier). Search on google news or other archives. -- Stbalbach 14:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
        • I don't see how any of this is relevant. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Adam Bishop 14:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
          • A lot of articles on Wikipedia are about people whose only notability is that they were in the press. John Mark Karr for example. He made a false confession, but so have many other people. He committed some minor crimes, but so have a lot of other people. The only reason he has a Wikipedia article is there was a lot of press attention around him. -- Stbalbach 14:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
            • "For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come." (Ecclesiastes 2:16) I'm not sure what point I'm making with that, but the conversation made me think of it. -GTBacchus^(talk) 16:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
              • Thanks. I'm partial to Boethius "One thing is fixed, by eternal law arranged; Nothing which comes to be remains unchanged." and "Does bare acquaintance with illustrious names alone, Impart real knowledge of the dead?" -- No doubt that in 2 or 3 years if nothing has changed this article will be more easily VfD'd. -- Stbalbach 20:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Normaly a heavy editor would not be notable enough to warrant their won article but in this case, with the media coverage and the role he played in brining attention from the general population to wikipedia makes this case diffrent. NeoFreak 07:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per others. Punkmorten 08:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep We must be very, very, very careful about articlespace pages for wikipedia editors: it's an extremely slippery slope indeed. However, SimonP is active enough that he's actually gotten some attention in the press for it, so at least the article is notable and verifiable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - I think there is confusion between notability as a prolific Wikipedia editor, and notable as someone who has received a lot of public attention. Of course, no one is notable for being a Wikipedia editor - in that case, we should all have our own article. The article is notable because of the amount of public attention paid to Simon P - this attention is notable and unique among Wikipedia editors. He has become the public face, the human interest story of the project. As far as I know there is no other editor so often mentioned in the press. -- Stbalbach 15:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep While, with all respect to SimonP, it may seem suspect that his notability comes from editing this very wikipedia, the article has been sourced to reliable sources. I'm afraid it squeaks by.-- danntm ^T _C 19:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — I mean no harm or offense to Simon, but his only claim to fame (or more accurately, notability) is being the subject of a trivial slow-news-day article (because Wikipedia is a hot topic). Other than that, there's really no claim to fame. Now, if a town erected a building or a statue of him, or got really pissed off at him, maybe then there could be a claim to notability. But until then... this is MessedRocker. 19:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, and you know why? Try this simple test: replace the word Wikipedia and its variants with widget. In other words, don't let your opinions on the endeavor itself shade your opinion--just go by the degree of media attention as a qualifier. Does it meet notability? In my book, it does. I understand the desire to be cautious of Wikipedians achieving notability AS Wikipedians, but it can happen. And it has. P L E A T H E R _talk 02:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Repeating for the benefit of those who are confusing prominence within the Wikipedia community for notability that he is notable for coverage by established media sources, not for being a Wikipedia editor. He could collect moss and, if Globe & Mail and MacLean's wrote profiles about him doing that, he would still fall across the line into notability. - BT 21:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ma Nao Books

Vanity article that does not conform to any Wiki standards. Article is supposedly about a book publishing company, but is only briefly mentioned in the opening. The rest of the article reads like a resume for the company's founder. No edits other than creation by presumably the company's founder, and that is the only edit in their history. Google search of the title in quotes returns 25 hits, so company lacks notability. Crockspot 03:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC) additional comment - Just thought I would mention that I found this article through the "Random article" link, and have no special interest in the article, company, or its founder. Crockspot 18:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

comment addressed Crockspot criticisms; what number of google hits constitutes notability? (posted by User:Ma Nao, formatted by Crockspot 03:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC))

There is no magic number, and google hits are only one way to guage notability. But twenty-five is a very small number of hits, and most of those hits are from the company website. See Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations), Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements masquerading as articles, Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines, and Wikipedia:Cruft.

[edit] NULL programming language

This article was part of the mass AfD of "Esoteric Programming languages" overturned by DRV here. It is being relisted for individual consideration. All these languages will be relisted, at five/day to prevent congestion. This is a procedural nomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 03:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, the idea of this language sounds rather interesting. JIP | Talk 12:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Since when did "being interesting" allow use to ignore WP:V? (Generally "interesting" things will be written enough about to become WP:V, but not in this case). —Ruud 21:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Dozens of such languages could be invented. This article doesn't present interesting information except the claim of "zero-dimensionality" (what's that?) and doesn't provide valuable insight into numerics or computer science and is not even funny.

[Encoding some information into a large integer which is operated on later was at least once presented as a compression technique in computer science (I did my thesis about encoding of 3D objects in such a way (my result: no advantages compared to the classical data structures)).] Pavel Vozenilek 14:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

The only interesting thing about NULL is that it works like a canonical way to enumerate differently working programs in a basic, minimal Turing-complete language. If Wikipedia already has an article about that, then I might change my vote to "delete". JIP | Talk 14:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete The merit of this esoteric language aside, which shouldn't be a criteria for inclusion, this "programming language" is completely non notable. Compare with Brainfuck for an esoteric 'joke' language that *is* notable. Equendil Talk 19:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evening Prayer (Common Worship)

We need to fold this into Evening Prayer (Book of Common Prayer) and add information about non-CofE liturgies to create one Evening Prayer (Anglican) article. We can't have articles for every version of Evensong that there is. Furthermore, there is no substantive information on the rite in this article. I propose that we delete this, put any info in the other article that is not already there, and expand the newly merged article. Carolynparrishfan 03:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This article could well just be one paragraph in that article.Rockhopper10r 04:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect; otherwise delete. --MCB 06:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect In principle there is no problem with having "articles for every version of Evensong that there is". However the assertion of importance within the article "It represents a move back towards the traditional Liturgy of the Hours in the liturgy of the Church of England" is too weak. Why has no merge been attempted on the article? JASpencer 08:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: That's exactly what I've attempted, but now we've this "spare" article. And I don't know what to do with it other than delete it and re-create it as a redirect.

• Delete I think the main article ought to be Evening Prayer, and that it should "see also" to vespers for the Roman Catholic equivalent. (Likewise, vespers should point back to Evening Prayer instead of to Evensong, which at present is a disambig for the two CofE books and a Unitarian Universalist almost unrelated program.) The Book of Common Prayer qualifier appears to be unnecessary. There's almost no substance to the article proposed for deletion, and there's no point to a redirect since I can't imagine that anyone would ever look for it that way anyway. On the other hand, the main article definitely needs a lot of work incorporating the 1979 American book, if not Common Worship. Mangoe 16:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I have attempted to render this article utterly superfluous by incorporating more material on CW Evensong into the other article than there is in this one. Carolynparrishfan 17:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Carolynparrishfan has duplicated the interesting material at Evening Prayer (Anglican). Some of the remarks could also be added to Common Worship. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 16:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

On the other hand, there isn't really much useful information here. I was going to vote !'neutral' but then checked Google and saw tens of thousands of hits (about 70000 counting Wikipedia mirrors, about 60000 with my efforts to exclude them), which is quite a lot for an esoteric programming language. --ais523 10:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

          Not anywhere close to 80% from what I can tell, but anyway, the point is, it's more or less impossible to tell how many Google hits are actually relevant here, especially seeing as the top hits displayed (up to 1000) by Google are the "best match" Google can find. Equendil Talk 17:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

          • • I counted pages about esoteric progamming languages that mentioned Ook! as true positives, even if they were about a different language; the test was an attempt to gauge the size of Ook!'s following. --ais523 17:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

              Well, compare a search on "brainfuck programming language" (exact sentence)[16], and "ook! programming language" [17]. Brainfuck is the language from which "ook!" is derived. Quite a contrast. Equendil Talk 17:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

              • • I wouldn't agree with grouping "programming language" with ook! in the search; that's going to produce far too many false negatives, which are much harder to spot than false positives. --ais523 14:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fred Ettish

Someone put this up as a speedy. It's not a speedy candidate, but it's still probably worth deleting. Fred Ettish is a name known to fans of Ultimate Fighting Championship. In one of the early matches in the early days of UFC, the UFC was known to take a lot of amateurs. One of them was Fred Ettish, a karate instructor who displayed more bravado than martial arts prowess, and lost his one and only fight in a particularly lame way. Shortly thereafter, a mockery site sprang up, which is still in existence. Does this make Fred Ettish notable enough for a bio? Dunno. I leave it up to you guys.

[edit] List of PlayMania E-Mail Themes

This does not seem important enough to have it's own article, nor is the subject matter encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I suggest that anything relevant be merged into PlayMania. Khatru2 06:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep This article informs people of what email theme was done on each episode. If a viewer goes "Wait, what theme was done on so and so day", they can refer to this page. I vote to keep this page.  — JT (TRAiNER4)  [T·C·E] 11:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

— Possible single purpose account: TRAiNER4 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.

• Comment. This discussion is about if having this list is notable to WP, not if hypothetically someone might actually have a query as to what a theme is that day (and in all honesty, I don't know who would). That's just totally stupid reasoning. Giant onehead 01:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. This was originally part of the PlayMania page and no one had a problem with it, but the length become too long for the page so it was moved to its own in order to keep everyone happy. I feel that it should stay on its own for the time being, but if it continues to get longer or if it its "unimportance" continues to grow (which it shouldn't because PlayMania itself is growing), then we'll talk.

• Strong Delete. Again, we are talking about a late night show on a fairly minor cable network. This portion of the show is not even very notable within the context of the show. It has potential to be a gigantic page and it is just unnotable cruft in the context of WP. As I had suggested to Chad and Trainer (who really should butt out of the discussion some), why not just create your own webpage and include the table and work on it from there. This just isn't important and should be removed soon. Fancruft at its very worst to a low-rated late night cable show. Giant onehead 00:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

  Comment AFD equitette states "Please disclose whether you are an article's primary author or if you otherwise have a vested interest in the article." By this, I believe that Chad and Trainer should state this, as they both have stronger than usual interests in the show and one of them created the article, and the respective talk pages should say even more. That should be mentioned to make a clear decision. Giant onehead 01:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I think this list was started in the Playmania article when there was a sense that it might be a limited term publicity stunt. That clearly is not the case given the expansion to six nights a week and the presence of at least one competing show on another network. We don't keep track of a list of Letterman top 10 List themes here, so we shouldn't keep track of a list of Playmania email themes. It's an excellent idea for a part of a fan page, but that's not what Wikipedia is. Erechtheus 16:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

  Comment I am having suspisions that Trainer4 has a single-purpose account, which I have tagged, and said user keeps removing the notice because they do not agree with it.

[edit] Moshe Ayalon

This author is not notable. None of his books have been published. There are no citations in the article, and I could not find any references to his works on the Internet. I spoke with a self-described expert in the genre of Israeli Alternate History and he never heard of this man. nadav 06:42, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Clarification His books may have been self-published, but I was unable to find any of them in the authoritative MALMAD catalog. nadav 07:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

nadav1, you didn't quite do this right. First you placed a Template:Unsourced on the article (fair enough) but with a misleading edit summary, {A} then you gave the article creator a warning (right thing), but using a Template:Nn-warn? {B} The article is *not* a candidate for speedy deletion, or any kind of deletion at that point.

The speedy deletion warning was a mistake. I was following the instructions on WP:BIO at the bottom, which I thought meant only that it could be nominated for speedy. The edit summary is accurate, I think. This is my first deletion nomination, so I'm learning. nadav 20:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not up on Vf..AfD trends, but is moving pet subjects to user space still fashionable? If google tests are still in, I'll save y'all the bother of parrotting and say, shock horror, there's not much. Clearly google is about as 'reliable' on fringe subjects as self described experts... or wikipedia. --zippedmartin 07:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes but national catalogs of books (both the Israeli and Australian) are reliable. If an author's books are not in any library, he's not much of an author. Moreover, the article seems to be entirely based on personal interviews with Ayalon. And since there is not a single mention of Ayalon anywhere on the internet, I doubt any verifiable information on him can be found. nadav 20:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

This is a google search for moshe ayalon. It weeds out most references to a prominent sports medicine scientist and misprints referring to Moshe Ya'alon, the former chief of staff. This is a Hebrew Google search. All the results refer to the sports scientist. nadav 20:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Article references no sources. We expect claims of notability to be sourced to independent reliable sources. With no sources, no claims of notability are sourced that way. The above discussion about the lack of evidence of the book in any library in the countries where published is further indication, but not as important as the lack of sourcing.

The result was Delete, though some of the !votes mention a merging. Was this article merged anywhere? I don't see much evidence of merging (nothing in Wiktionary, epispiral merely contains the formula in another form), and the original article was a mere dicdef. Therefore, I think it's safe to delete this. Deathphoenix ʕ 20:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ear curve

Dictionary definition. Dismas|^(talk) 06:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Rewrite - I'm sure this can be expanded so it is not a one-line dictdef into something like Rose curve. MER-C 07:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• I doubt one can say much about this on its own, so Merge into Rose curve. Michael Kinyon 11:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect (but don't bother merging) to Epispiral per David Eppstein and Salix alba below. (I don't agree about "rose curve" versus "rhodonea curve", but that's a different discussion.) Michael Kinyon 18:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• To clarify what I meant about merging: the information that this curve is inverse to the rose should be included in Epispiral; it isn't there now. But I agree with Lambiam that a redirect isn't appropriate because there seem to be no references to the curve by this name outside WP. —David Eppstein 19:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete – neologism. --Lambiam^Talk 11:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Epispiral. I couldn't find references to this curve under this name in several indexes of famous curves [18] [19] [20] [21]. For that matter, the rose curve to which it refers is much more commonly called the rhodonea curve. But this is a reasonably well known curve, under a different name, the epi spiral: e.g., see [22] [23] or other results of a Google search on that name. —David Eppstein 16:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete now that the information has been merged. —David Eppstein 23:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• redirect to Epispiral. Could not find any references to the curve under this name. --Salix alba (talk) 17:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  So if someone introduces an article with, say, title Hairy number and text "A hairy number is an integer that is divisible by another integer", it should not be deleted but be redirected to Composite number, even though no-one except the creator uses this term for this kind of number? --Lambiam^Talk 18:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• delete - convinced by Lambiam. --Salix alba (talk) 19:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Yep, excellent point. Having searched pretty hard for the term myself, I've changed my mind again. Delete! Michael Kinyon 22:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Wiktionary. Some P. Erson 23:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• delete; do not merge, do not transwiki to Wiktionary; the statement about its inverse is now in epispiral. Septentrionalis 23:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect under the theory that somewhere, buried under all the many links to "ear curve" that refer to the fleshy appendage's shape, there may be somebody talking about a "reverse rose curve" or something vaguely related to Epispiral. If the clueless author of that page ever searches WP, let him be redirected. Meanwhile, I can't imagine any other topic that might belong under this title. Redirects are cheap and do not endorse the alternate/mistaken/misspelt term. John Reid 01:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I don't think that "somewhere" exists. Googling for ear-curve and rose-curve returns no non-WP hits; same in Google scholar. —David Eppstein 03:09, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. And in the meantime there are several other legitimate uses for the term, such as for biometric profiles and for adjusting auditory aids, so if someone should search for this term they are almost surely looking for soemthing else. --Lambiam^Talk 03:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Primortals

Unsure as to notability, and very short article, however uneasy to use {{nocontext}} if article has potential. haz (talk) e 08:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - fails to assert notability. MER-C 09:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Well, the notability is that it was an 15-issue comic book series by someone who is himself notable. Two someones if we work Isaac Asimov into it, since Nimoy credited discussions with him as helping develop the story. I wouldn't do more than one article for the whole series, but since it did make some news at the time, I'd keep it. Mister.Manticore 13:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

BTW, the article is only a few days old. A little time for folks to expand it would be appreciated. Mister.Manticore 14:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or Move to Leonard Nimoy Notability doesn't "leak over". Star Trek is notable on its own (!), not this as far as I can tell. There's an entry about Nimoy and that's the perfect place to write succinctly about his work beyond acting in Star Trek. Equendil Talk 19:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Iffy about that, for a few reasons. One, the Nimoy article is already plenty big. Two, the discussion of the story itself wouldn't belong there anyway, and three, there are some questions as to Nimoy's involvement in the series. Mister.Manticore 23:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Come on, I know fiction notability is hotly contested, but two of the biggest names in science fiction collaborating plus SETI? Maybe not articles for each comic, but one for the whole series seems very reasonable and very notable to me. Guyanakoolaid 09:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the subject appears be a comic book series, a novel and a related CD-ROM, with some media coverage. See here for review of the CD-ROM, and here for the book. I think it's notable enough for a short article. -Kubigula (ave) 18:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Equendil Talk 19:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete the article fails to note that Nimoy didn't write the book. He was credited as a "creator" and used to market the book, just like everything else they published. It's worth a mention on Nimoy's page, but the book in and of itself isn't all that significant. Watchsmart 12:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

clarifying: The publisher, Teknocomix paid celebrities a lot of money to "create" some "concepts" for comic books. They then passed the the book onto someone to write. They had "Issac Asimov's Ibots" and "Neil Gaiman's Mr. Hero," and even "Gene Roddenbury's Lost Universe," (though G.R. had died some years earlier). Nimoy's involvement with the book was quite limited. The book was sort of alright, though. Watchsmart 02:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like details that would be worth adding to the Tekno Comix article, and this one. I was tempted to do so, but lacked sources. If you've got some, it'd be appreciated. BTW, "A novelization was written by Steve Perry" has been part of the article for several days, and the Nimoy one for even longer. Mister.Manticore 01:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I rewrote the Primortals article. At the very least, we can take down the "expand" tag. I suppose, also, that we can Keep the article... Nimoy + 27 issues + book is probably more noteable than a lot of other things in Wikipedia. Perhaps the Tekno Comix article doesn't make stuff clear enough about the creation process. I will take a look. Watchsmart 10:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and the two people who wrote the debut issue are prominent enough to have entries themselves. Watchsmart 10:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Harris (Rugby League Player, Parade College Raiders)

Contested Prod (I'd originally prodded it, in case anyone's curious) which was removed without comment by an anon. There's no assertion of notability here, for the simple reason that the player in question is only potentially going to have a bright career in the code. Sorry to clog up the works here, so if someone could perhaps slap a Speedy on it (my own attempt at db-bio'ing him was removed by the same anon with the same lack of reason), I'd be much obliged BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 09:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

The speedy was already removed twice (it shouldn't have been added back after the first one), as was the prod (is it proper to add that after a speedy is removed, I wouldn't think so). Live with it. I don't care whether it stays or not, just play by the rules. But 92.2 kg? Give me a break. Where'd that supposed precision come from; looks like something just made up to me. Gene Nygaard 09:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I added the second speedy tag after coming across the article in the newpages list. In retrospect, I should have checked the page history to see if it had been so tagged before, but I didn't. The prod was not (at least at the time I moved this to AfD) removed twice. I added it based on the fact that the speedy had been removed (twice, in the event) without any assertion of notability in fact added, so the original author or anyone had the full five days. When it was removed, I brought it here. What I meant by the phrase "to slap a Speedy on it" wasn't "to add a CSD tag to the article again", but rather "to speedily delete this article despite its appearance at AfD", something which frequently occurs for things which have only turned up here because of process. To say that I'm not "playing by the rules" is, to me, either an assumption of bad faith or something sailing remarkably close to that area. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 11:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrestling news world

This page is just being used as a reason for members of that forum to promote themselves and to bash other members. Check the history to confirm this. This page is hardly noteworthy. It is an internet forum. Yes, there are forums on Wikipedia that do have pages, but that is because they are actually important forums in rwlation to the show they represent. Wrestlingnewsworld is merely one of a hundred wrestling forums that are equally as big. If Wrestling News World gets a page, why not the rest of the wrestling forums? And, watch out for sock puppets. Some Wrestling News World members are sure to create accounts so that they can try to save their page. Scorpion0422 06:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment/Weak Keep - Thoughts from creator of page

This page was not created for members of the forum to promote themselves and to bash other members. I created and maintained this page (for the better part of a month) in order for it to be informative more than anything. I believe it is relevant as at least one example of another article on Wikipedia, that of the Internet Wrestling Community. WNW has also been quoted to be one of the better stops on the internet for "real" news about the American professional wrestling industry. Having said that, this page HAS degenerated into an extension of rather juvenile feuds (on both sides, by the looks of it, due to the deletion of this article being brought up at this time) that are unnecessary in the forum itself, and totally out of place on Wiki. I do acknowledge that this is so, as the proof is in the history link for the article. I advocate one of two solutions: restricting editing access to the page or deleting it outright. Whichever decision is made would suffice, though I would personally like to see the page remain on Wiki. Let me stress that I am not a staff member of the forums in question and did not create this page for promotion of the site, forum, or any one individual. My original article included a plea to forum regulars not to add themselves to the page in order for it to remain neutral and solely informative to those who wish to know a little more about the "internet wrestling community" and the culture of internet forums and discussion boards in general. Once again, do as you will. If this page is deleted, I will not try to recreate it. --UserNumber586 07:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• ',,,Strong Keep I seem to remember I when I visited my friends in Dublin a few years back we listened to a radio station by the name of Phoenix FM. I do remember hearing someone by the name of Steve Willis - that's all I can really add to this debate.82.47.100.243

Let me get this right, you have cable broadband and your ISP is blueyonder just like the other anon involved, and blueyonder also happen to be Steve's hosting company, your IP traces back to Wolverhampton, which happen to be where Steve allegedly work [26]. You also happen to have no other edit from that IP. Do you *really* think we're that stupid ? Equendil Talk 18:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, Pheonix FM is a extremely low-power (25W EIRP), community radio station based in a portakabin at a shopping centre. Its presenters do not come anywhere close to the notability requirements to be on the Wikipedia. Your apparent friends would have had to visit Blanchardstown, not Dublin City, to even receive Pheonix FM. --Kiand 18:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I find it even more amazing that they listened to a Northern Irish radio station in Ireland, especially as its transmission site is relatively well shielded and its only cross-NI coverage is on DAB - which very few Irish people have receivers for. I also find it amazing that every listener who "heard him" a few years ago happens to stumble across to this to vote, and that they're all avid AM radio listeners as well as FM and DAB - must be hard keeping up with three modes of transmission to follow eh? --Kiand 18:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

As a radio broadcaster myself, (as explained in earlier comments) It is quite possible to listen to any radio. My last radio station was Galway Bay FM and we used to listen to Red FM (Corcaigh) online. I think the comments of 80.189.171.58 are quite plausable. She did not say that she listened off air or online. Also Ireland is a general term, again non specific, (ROI/NI. She says she lives in Berks. UK, After checking the IP, I do indeed see a London connection, and Newstalk 1152 I would have thought would be receivable in that area. I really cannot believe we are all debating how well known he is. What do you all want? Me to put a photo of him on the Galway Now website? SineadNiNeachtain 19:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

No need, because as another single edit user, you're almost certainly a sockpuppet too. No need to waste even more of your time at this utterly pointless exercise, because I think you should see by now that the article is going to be deleted. --Kiand 19:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you just delete it then? rather that accuse me of being a sockpuppet? It stikes me that anyone who gives a plausable response, or you disagree with, are classed as sock puppets. I'm sure you will find plenty of references too him if you take the trouble too look. At no time have you ever seen me vandalise anything, though I would consider it now.

I have explained once before - I used too work with him, I don't want sex with him or anything, just to stick up for what is right. (By the way) Comment - Why is their not a page about me? I would be reasonably well known too!! SineadNiNeachtain 19:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

sigh - ok, let's accept for the moment that you are a real person, what VERIFIABLE source can you point us towards? not "I think", "I know", "I saw", "I put a sock over my hand, but a hard piece of evidence. This is your chance, show us the evidence... --Charlesknight 19:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would also like to see this. "Hard evidence" doesn't cover websites you or any of the other supposed people who've voted on this thread own/run/work for, for a start. So far, the only "hard evidence" we have is that he does two hours a week on a student-run AM radio station, which means he fails entirely on notability requirements. Theres no proof he ever worked for Today FM, and no web references to it; no proof he ever presented London Tonight and no web references, and so on. No evidence at all. --Kiand 19:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

This is what I have found!! ClaireLMillington 20:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC) This was done to welcome him back from Ireland, He still does other shows, but this is the station who got the credit for having him.

OK, that proves what new information? That he works on a AM student radio station.... which we already knew as the sole provable piece of information about him. Anything else you can drag up from your personal archives that might actually prove some notability, cause community radio presenters don't come close to the requirements. --Kiand 20:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I cannot believe you don't know who he is. I bet non of you have even heard his show. And what makes you people the judge & jury in this case.SineadNiNeachtain 20:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope no idea who he is. No I've never heard his show because I don't tend to listen to student radio stations. And we are the Judge and jury because we have read Wikipedia policies. By the way, I am going to request a checkuser on your and Claire's IP addresses because I suspect they might be the same. --Charlesknight 20:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know who he is because he's not notable in the wider radio market, or the Irish one, and I haven't heard his show because I don't live in Wolverhampton, or indeed listen to AM radio or community radio at any stage. And when/if he was on Phoenix FM, well, I don't live in the car park of the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre because their signal doesn't go much further. And I'd support a full sock-check of the IPs and new user accounts involved in this pointless charade. --Kiand 20:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

What I particularly liked about the notice Willis put on his website (now interestingly removed) was that he talked about Wikipedia as if he'd just heard about it ("some site called Wikipedia"). When, in fact, he'd set up a user account, User:Stevewillis, several months ago to spam the same sort of vain nonsense. Either he's a dreadful liar (surely not!), or dementia is setting in at an early age. Best get to the doctor Steve. --Plumbago 21:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Nice catch, I'll add it to the AN/I case, though nobody seems to care there. I suppose this should go to checkuser, but then, checkuser is not supposed to be used for obvious sockpuppetry, so I hope an admin will step up and stop this nonsense instead. Equendil Talk 22:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment No-one is denying that he exists. The debate is whether he is notable enough to appear in the Wikipedia. Given that he is just one of many presenters working in a local radio station, his notability is very much up for grabs. That he's (ineptly) been using sock-puppets to vainly promote himself in Wikipedia is, to a degree, a secondary issue (though it hardly helps his case). Anyway, I don't know why I'm saying this to what's probably another of his sock-puppets. --Plumbago 14:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• What IS your major malfunction, Bucky? Small press, zines, and short stories WERE what was listed, so NOTHING I said was untrue, your paranoia notwithstanding. CLAIMS of a notice in the NYTBR means nothing without either actual citation or what the notice actually WAS -- Bylined review? One graf in the "New in Paperback" column? Passing mention in a larger article? Creative Arts Book Company IS a small press -- and I ought to know, since it was based in the town I lived in -- and its reputation has dropped markedly since my last acquaintance, since a little reasearch shows that the SFWA notes that it seemed to have morphed into some sort of vanity press [27] by 2001, further weakening the case against this guy.

[edit] Septim's Pride

Article for web comic that makes no assertions of notability, and fails WP:WEB. Seems to be self-promotional spam to build audience of web comic started 2 weeks ago. Leuko 13:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• I am the creator of the comic. The users on my forum decided to follow suit of another popular webcomic Concerned and make a wiki for it. In no way is this advertising or anything of that nature. The only reason I even signed up here was to correct a minor detail one of the users had put in the wiki article. The article in of itself is a work-in-progress I'm told and will be continued to be

filled with more content as they work on it. In no way is this 'self-promotional spam'. bchick222 12:46, 24 September 2006

• Comment: However, Concerned has been written about in various magazines, which would qualify it for a WP article, whereas your webcomic has received no independent press, making it ineligible for a WP article. Leuko 17:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Does an internet gaming site, such as the Planet sites, count as independent press? There are many mods for Half-Life 2 that have wiki articles here that have not been written about in magazines. So what constitutes independent press? I could make my own Elder Scrolls site and make a news item and review of the comic. Would that be independent press? Even though I have not had any 'press' talk about it, I have tons of support on the multiple forums I frequent. Where do you draw the line? If you are that concerned about it, I will submit the site to PlanetElderScrolls and pray they make a news item of it. Seriously though, it has been out for 2 weeks. Of COURSE it won't have independent press. I say just give it time, my friend. bchick222 13:14, 24 September 2006

• Comment: The WP:WEB guidelines require 1) multiple and 2) non-trivial independent coverage of a website to be deemed notable enough for a WP article. Reviews from other websites are only non-trivial if they themselves are notable and pass WP:RS. Self-reviews, reviews from obscure websites, or forum postings really don't meet that mark. Once the site reaches the criteria, I will gladly support its inclusion. However, until that time, I am not convinced that the article is anything more than WP:VSCA.

• Keep - Seriously, this Wiki just gives useful information to those that would like to know more about the comic. Deepfatfryed 18:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and it is not an indescriminate collection of information or a directory of webcomics. Leuko 18:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I'll agree that it hasn't recieved any news attention in any sort of form besides people recommending people to the comic. If that meets your view of an unnecessary article for wikipedia then by all means let's delete it. However, do NOT call it 'self-promotional spam' as it is NOT that. I even looked under the wiki pages about what constitutes spam and this is NOT it. You drew the wrong conclusion on that one. Like I said before, my forum members and readers wanted to make this wiki so that info about the comic, the protagonist, and the story in general could be laid out for others. That said, I agree that the comic hasn't had any media recognition and I would not oppose a removal if that small detail breaks some sort of rules here. I truly think you are over-reacting though. bchick222 21:14, 24 September 2006

• Delete, article does not meet our oficial content policies as it is unverifiable through third-party reliable sources with reputations for fact-checking and accuracy, and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not an internet guide. Sorry, bchick222, but wikipedia really isn't the place for this. Note to whoever closes this: Also delete Septim's pride. -- Dragonfiend 18:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Lets look at Concerned. It's a web comic with a good amount of viewers. Exactly when did it qualify to attain a Wiki? Did it need to be shown in a magazine? Did it need 1000 users? The point where a comic meets the conditions is gray. Deepfatfryed 22:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • It's really not much of a grey area. As per long-standing official policy, Wikipedia articles must be based on verifiable information from reliable sources with reputations for fact-checking and accuracy. So, yes, the fact that Concerned has been covered by at least three magazines and Septim's Pride "hasn't had any media recognition" means that we'll keep the former but not the latter. Our goal is to create a reliable encyclopedia on topics of historical importance. You may be more interested in Comixpedia which allows original research on webcomics, and doesn't require third-party reliable sources for its articles. -- Dragonfiend 22:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teamlorio.net

ANNOUNCEMENT: It should be noted that AlQoraton was NOT the creator of this article, as has been suggested below, rather towards Jamino (me) should be directed any discrepancies in regards to posting regulations. It has been put forward that AlQoraton asked members to post their views on this debate via the TeamLorio.net web-forums. However, as he didn't write this article, it should be understood that rules and regulations regarding the posting of Articles on Wikipedia are unclear to him as, obviously, he has previously had no reason to have read them. However, as I seriously doubt the members of the TeamLorio.net forums will be deterred from defending this article merely by the notice posted above, I must also stress as the sModerator of the Forums in question that NOBODY from TeamLorio.net simply makes an account to tip the scales of this debate. This achieves nothing. This message has also been posted on the Forum itself.--Jamino 17:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

According to your user page you are part of Teamlorio.net. Also, what notable awards has the website won? I couldn't find the word award anywhere in the article.--Andeh 17:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

My apologies Alqoraton, braindeath on my part.

following Andy's question - I do not see how it matches criteria 3 of WP:WEB which is basically about non-trival distribution/broadcast. What is the source of this non-trivial distribution? --Charlesknight 17:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

All teamlorio.net animations are posted on/distributed by Newgrounds. Several have been on the frontpage and won Portal awards. --AlQoraton 17:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Well at first glance, that would suggest it actually fails WP:WEB which states that Content that is distributed by independent online sites will almost certainly satisfy the first criterion. However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of such content will be complete regardless. For example, Ricky Gervais had a podcast distributed by The Guardian. Such distributions should be nontrivial. Although GeoCities and Newgrounds are exceedingly well known, hosting content on them is trivial. --Charlesknight 17:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Good point, but then why are Joseph Blanchette's, David Firth's or other well known Newgrounds author's pages not up for deletion? I don't see why teamlorio.net, as a Flash production team, couldn't have a Wiki-page if they can. --AlQoraton 18:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

You are always welcome to list them for deletion if you believe they should be deleted according to the deletion policy.--Andeh 18:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I know that, but it doesn't answer my question. Just look around people, there are more well-known Newgrounds authors on Wikipedia. Why is teamlorio.net different? --AlQoraton 19:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

it's not, but Wikipedia has over a million articles there are ALWAYS articles here that should not be. The fact that those are here and maybe should not be, just means that nobody has gone around to AFDing them. However now you have raised their profile to the community, I'm sure that if they are not notable they will be AFD'd shortly (which is generally the result of someone saying "hey what about article X!"). I'll be checking them out myself when I get a moment later.--Charlesknight 19:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:BIO and WP:WEB are very different things, you are referring to people, this article is on a website.--Andeh 19:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

This article ISN'T about a website, it's about TWO people (not ONE, like the other examples) making Flash cartoons. So you're saying separate pages for TheGreyPilgrim and Mithrandir with the same content would be OK? --AlQoraton 20:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

So if it isn't about a website or company, then it must meet WP:BIO. Which it doesn't appear to meet at all.--Andeh 20:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Flash artists are also professionals who get a great deal of public interest, just like musicians, actors, authors, painters, etc. WP:BIO also clearly 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.". And just for the record: I'm not trying to get other Flash artist's pages deleted. I'm trying to understand why the examples I gave have been here for over a year or even longer (without anyone noticing they, apparently, don't meet Wikipedia policy) and this page gets flagged withing two months. To all so-called "patrollers": I advise you to start looking for some SERIOUS breaches in Wikipedia policy and stop coming up with a new policy every time to make your story plausible. And I also invite you to first suggest an alteration of the article, not immediate deletion. --AlQoraton 21:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

and I would suggest that you read WP:CIVIL (To all so-called "patrollers": I advise you to start looking for some SERIOUS breaches in Wikipedia policy and stop coming up with a new policy every time to make your story plausible).

• Keep. It meets WP:WEB so lets keep it. I agree that simply hosting your webpage on Newsgrounds is not signifigant but thate fact that it has been on the front page and given awards suggests that it is in fact notable. Evidence of those things should be presented though. AmitDeshwar 01:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment - if WP:WEB says a site is trivial, why does it matter where on that site something appears? --Charlesknight 09:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Vanity? Where? Is the Salad Fingers Wiki also up for deletion due to vanity? How about the World of Warcraft Wiki? The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Wiki? Any Wiki describing another product of entertainment? No. This Wiki simply disects another product of entertainment, one known as Team Lorio. At NO point during the Wiki does it claim that Team Lorio is the best, or better than anyone else, nor does it even claim to be GOOD beyond what results have provided proven facts to subtantiate. Also, if you're going to post in this debate then at LEAST provide a comment that supports what you're saying, rather than just insulting something that need not be insulted. Wiki-Management, I challenge you to find any form of vanity in this article. If it exists, which it does not, I will remove it. I wrote this article, and great care was taken to ensure all guidelines were met. Therefore is there ARE any breaches then this article should be flagged for ALTERATION, not deletion. That is absurd. Jamino 15:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  It's not up for deletion because some users may believe it is vanity, it is up for deletion because there is no evidence that the site or ex-company is notable enough per Wikipedia's notability standards (WP:WEB).--Andeh 16:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This fails WP:WEB in every conceivable way. It has not won any well-known awards. It hasn't been distributed via a site that is independent of the creators (submitting it to Newgrounds makes it difficult to claim independence as it wouldn't be in there without Team Lorio putting it on there and the notes make it clear that Newgrounds hosting is considered trivial). It hasn't been a subject of multiple non-trivial published works. IrishGuy ^talk 19:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete clearly fails to assert notability (see WP:WEB) and is something of a vanity page as well hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 21:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

AlQoraton (Team Lorio's Mithrandir) comment's on the website linked to in the article say it all but there doesn't seem to be a plausible reason to keep a page about teamlorio.net on Wikipedia. --Charlesknight 13:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I tried to stay as objective as possible by not referring to teamlorio.net as us or using Mithrandir as a nickname. Don't make me start and don't twist my words! I was referring to your (as in all the people who posted Delete) opinion on the matter. And what's with the damn "ATTENTION" sign? Don't make it look like teamlorio.net is forcing people to come here. They can make up their own mind. --AlQoraton 15:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

First of all: the Attention sign is what we post whenever it appears that someone outside of Wikipedia is attempting to sway the vote. In that case, we remind them that what counts is the strength of your arguments, not the number of bodies you can muster. Wikipedia, after all, is not a democracy. Second, you're getting too worked up over this; please review what we have to say about civility on Wikipedia before you post next. Captainktainer * Talk 04:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I know what the sign is ment for, I can read. But in that case: why does the sign specifically say If you came here because you were told so at the teamlorio.net forums? This is just an insult to teamlorio.net's integrity. They are not telling anybody to come here, so to keep this discussion as fair/clean as possible I would strongly suggest to remove that particular reference. And second, I already reminded Charlesknight to stop posting a new policy every time to make your story plausible. I've read WP:CIVL...so allow me quote myself: Thank you for making my point. --AlQoraton 11:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

An insult to your integrity? hum... so how does They are not telling anybody to come here match with And if you want to help, make a Wikipedia account and post a Keep message on that discussion page.. There is no problem with doing that - however getting on your high horse and claiming to do A when you are actually doing B - well that DOES demonstrate you have no integrity.

Informing people on what they could do is something different then telling people to come here and post a message. Like I said before: they can make up their own mind. --AlQoraton 18:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The notice is there as the forum message was encouraging fans/members to come here and vote keep, that is a simple notice to deter any users to do that and instead participate in the discussion. Interesting enough, recently.. "The board administrator requires all members to log in".--Andeh 17:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

That is the result of an options reset via a version upgrade. Also, that does not in anyway restrict you from checking what is posted on the forums. All you must do is simply create an account. In light of the previous comment in regards to AlQoraton's integrity - Obviously the members of the forums are going to want the article to be kept. They wouldn't be members otherwise. Jamino 17:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, for the following reasons, all of which are grounded on Wikipedia policy:

• No reliable sources external to the site or Newgrounds.com are available within the article.
• No external reliable sources testifying to the notability of the website are available. Generally, I don't believe notability in its own right is a reason to delete. In this case, teamlorio.net has not obtained sufficient press coverage to allow us to write about it from a neutral point of view. Because there is not enough external criticism or analysis to allow us to write about it with that key policy in mind, the article should not be on Wikipedia.
• Substantial quantities of the information within the article are unverified, even if we were to accept the official site as a reliable source. Captainktainer * Talk 04:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

No, the song has not been released. The album has been released, and the song is to be found therein. There's no indication that it will be released as a single as yet, although there's also no indication that it won't be. The argument that other albums have articles on every song (which I assume is what you're saying) isn't particularly relevant - partly because the fact that other articles of a certain type exist doesn't mean that any specific article of that type needs to exist and also because the albums which have longer articles (bear in mind this is a stub at best) on each one of their songs do so because they're highly significant albums like Dark Side Of The Moon. Al's latest may well become similarly significant, but give it about 30 years or so before it is. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 22:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment Was York City a professional club in 1976/77? Punkmorten 06:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment Even if they were, was the young Stuart Walker a full professional at the club or a youth player? The fact he only played two matches there and never played for another professional club suggests the latter. I agree with Oldelpaso's comment below that two Third Division games in the mid-1970s are not enough to claim notability. Qwghlm 07:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment York were professional (and still are) when he was a player

Keep. He is a former professional footballer - played in goal for York City when they were a league team. Markspearce 19:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Keep Former professional footballer and staff member of one of England's biggest clubs Dodge 19:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Delete. While 2 appearances for York meets the letter of the fully professional league phrase in WP:BIO, it probably doesn't meet the spirit of it. 2 appearances for a team in the lower reaches of the professional ranks doesn't constitute much of a pro career, and is unlikely to yield more than a trivial amount of verifiable material. Oldelpaso 21:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Keep. This is a tough call. I'm saying keep mainly because Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, and there is no real need to delete this guy. Admittedly he is right on the cusp between notability and non-notability, but for the aforementioned reasons I'm going to say keep. aLii 10:29, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Keep - played professionally for a league club, and still involved professionally in the sport. I wouldn't see the creation of his article as really a high priority; but now that it's been done, I'd rather see it retained, as its not inconceivable that people would want to access his history given his present involvement with Aston Villa.

[edit] Lifter Puller

Non-notable band, does not seem to meet requirements of WP:MUSIC, only independent mention is a link to a discussion board, which does not meet WP:RS Leuko 16:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Add to the discussion Lifter Puller (album) The Land 17:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep Article is in process of being revised. Have had releases on significant indie labels of the late 90's/early 2000's. See http://www.selfstarterfoundation.com/lifterpuller.html or http://www.frenchkissrecords.com. Moreover, they are the predecessor of the critically-acclaimed band The Hold Steady, and with the latter band's third album coming out in a few weeks this page is certain to garner attention. In summary this band does, in fact meet the following notability criteria for WP:MUSIC:

1. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
2. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable.

Their musical influence is also mentioned in an interview with similarly verbose act The Mountain Goats, published last week on pitchforkmedia, and found here: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/37953/Interview_Interview_The_Mountain_GoatsGrzond 19:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep As per above. Also, the band has recieved coverage in a number of notable publications, including Pitchfork [37],

Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages [38] [39], Rolling Stone [40] and the Village Voice [41], among others. They quite clearly meet the criteria for notablity. Idp 23:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep As per above. This band is legendary in MPLS and is becoming more legendary by the day because of the Hold Steady.

[edit] Catherine yronwode

NN author. There is some name dropping that claims to make her notable, but on her own merit, I'd say she fails WP:BIO as an author. Leibniz 17:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. According to Amazon.com, Catherine has authored (in some cases co-authored) 61 books. I'd say that even if none of these books are particularly successful, she is, by the sheer number of publications to her name. Srose (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - whoops. It seems that only the first 20 were authored/co-authored by Catherine Yronwode. She published the remainder. However, the first result on the previously linked search is in the top 45,000 book sales on Amazon.com. Most of the others are in the millions, however, so I'm switching to a weak keep. Srose (talk) 17:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. She may not be notable as an author, but she definitely is as an editor. She was once significant in the comic book field; she was the editor of Eclipse Comics, which was possibly the top independent comic company in the U.S. at its height. She was very well-known in the industry. She also edited some of the earliest Will Eisner collections. —Chowbok 17:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep cat yronwode is an extremely well known, influential and respected woman in the comic book industry. -Markeer 22:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment There seems to be quite a bit of vanity, self-promotion and linkspamming related to this page. I have also nominated Lucky Mojo. Leibniz 23:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Reply Well, I've had nothing to do with this page so I don't know the intentions of the creator or editors, but regarding self-promotion/linkspamming, I'd say that while the section on other wiki-articles that link to her could certainly be removed, the bibliography of an author is normal and expected, as are external links for those wanting more information. That just tells me the article needs a cleanup, not deletion. And I would add...all of those sections provide evidence of notability, which was the criteria you nominated this article for. Can't have it both ways Leibniz. -Markeer 01:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I removed one of the more ridiculous sections, but the article still needs to be cleaned up more. I would argue that the article needs to focus on her contributions to the comic book field, for which she is notable, rather than on her small-press hippie voodoo books, for which she is not. But still, it shouldn't be deleted.

It should also be noted that yronwode herself is active on Wikipedia and has edited this article extensively. Somebody should probably tell her, diplomatically, that it's not the best idea to work on articles about yourself. —Chowbok 03:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Absolutely notable in her field(s) and for specific things she helped publish. The magick stuff she self-publishes is her semi-retirement career, so this is historical. As for User:Catherineyronwode, see for yourself. --Dhartung | Talk 09:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, I've done an extensive rewrite treating her primary career with the attention it deserves (or at least a good stab in that general direction. --Dhartung | Talk 10:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment For notability, I would still like to see some evidence per WP:BIO:

"Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work"

Her notability, not Eisner's. Independent evidence, not linkspam or something she wrote herself. Leibniz 12:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply Well, a quick [Google search for "cat yronwode"] has, among ~30,000 other hits, links to interviews and articles by at least The Comics Journal, comicbookresources, and the Comics Buyers Guide on the first 2-3 pages. With newsarama, those three are the principal sources of comics industry news that I'm aware of. -Markeer 14:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Leibniz: keep in mind that her major published works, and influence on the industry, date from the early 1980s. I'll see what I can do, though. --Dhartung | Talk 09:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment. Yes, I realize that. I had several sources coming into this debate: one of them was the Google Scholar search that you did (except that I capitilized the term). I also had the result of a dictionary search and an inconclusive Google Books search. I chose to use the plain old google search because it does, in fact, illustrate my point. I wouldn't want to use the same source twice; I wanted to provide another one. I can provide the rest if you like, but it appears to be unnecessary. If you would look at my google search results, you'd see that my source confirmed the notability of this subject just as well as yours did. Srose (talk) 19:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• I thought you were not aware of google scholar and therefore wanted to point out its usefulness, that's all. Leibniz 19:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duct Tape Marketing

Self-promotional/vanity spam advertising new book. Username associated with article is the same as the book author's last name. Contested prod. Leuko 17:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Pure spam. See also John Jantsch. — Tivedshambo (talk to me/look at me/ignore me) —  18:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

At first glance this entry might appear to be spam but the term duct tape marketing has begun to represent a style of marketing for the small busines - yes, it also happens to be the title of a book, one that I authored, but the title was chosen to represent a metaphorical term that has gained a great deal of traction with small businesses. I have added some references to the term from major publications that don't reference the book title at all. Tracking from all of the major search engines shows the terms duct tape marketing receives several hundred searches daily - having nothing to do with a book. This term is very similar in nature to the term guerilla marketing User:Jantsch Sept 24, 2006

• Comment How do you claim the title "just happens" to be the name of your book,when the first line of the article reads "Duct tape marketing, as outlined by John Jantsch in the 2007 release Duct Tape Marketing - The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide"? — Tivedshambo (talk to me/look at me/ignore me) —  18:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean "just happens" to imply "accidentally happens." The title of the book was chosen to capture a term, duct tape marketing, that is becoming well-known as a form of small business marketing. Again, I point to the term guerilla marketing, a Wikipedia page, and the the first few words of this entry - Guerrilla marketing, as described by Jay Conrad Levinson in his popular 1982 book Guerrilla Marketing, is an unconventional way of performing promotional activities on a very low budget.User:Jantsch

duct tape marketing is certainly not an adaptation of guerrilla marketing techniques to the online - it is representative of a systematic approach to marketing - something that is in fact a new concept for the typical small business. User:Jantsch

[edit] Larry Silverstein's Comments On WTC Building 7 Collapse

POV fork of 9/11 conspiracy theories Tom Harrison ^Talk 19:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The guidelines on forking say that 'since what qualifies as a "POV fork" is itself based on a POV judgement, do not refer to forks as "POV" — except in extreme cases of repeated vandalism.' If some account of the record of vandalism behind the creation of this article could be provided it would be helpful in assessing the AfD. I suspect that the real question here is whether this is a notable item not sufficiently dealt with elsewhere. If it were renamed "Pull it" it could be compared with an article like Let's roll to assess its notability.--Thomas Basboll 19:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I would have no problem renaming the article to "Pull It" or something like that. The reason I think keeping the content is important is because the debate concerning whether pull meant "pull out the firefighters" or "pull down the building" is captured in this article. I'm pretty sure if we lose this information then the debate will once more rear its ugly head as it did in the main article a few weeks ago. Nay-sayers on Yay-sayers will retread old ground. I think having it as a reference and perhaps the battleground for additional debate is pretty important. And separating it from the main article will prevent too much minutiae being discussed in what should be a general overview. --Demosfoni 20:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Info: This material is part of the Controlled demolition hypothesis for the collapse of the World Trade Center article.--Thomas Basboll 20:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article's contents are already at Controlled_demolition_hypothesis_for_the_collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center#Silverstein.27s_statement_to_PBS; no need for a separate article to house a copy of the same material. Also, there's no chance that any user would ever come to Wikipedia and run a search for an article called "Larry Silverstein's Comments On WTC Building 7 Collapse". --Aaron 23:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Aaron. When will the conspiracy theory advocacy movement on Wikipedia end? Morton devonshire 23:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  Articles on things covered by notable sources are not advocacy, its making articles based on factual RS info. I begin to suspect the real purpose behind the vehemence is the fact that it is no secret that a Wikipedia article draws attention (re: google), and people would rather not allow such things to exist here for such reasons alone.

• Delete Outside of the Loose Change and conspiracy crowd, these two words "pull it" that Larry Silverstein uttered in a 2002 PBS documentary are NOT notable. He was recounting the events of the day on 9/11, and a conversation he had that afternoon with the New York City Fire Department. Aside from the lack of notability of "pull it", it is excessive to have this discussed in three articles (this one, the controlled demolition article, which is a fork/subarticle of 9/11 conspiracy theories which also mentions "pull it"). It would be an arduous task to keep these three articles saying the same consistent thing about "pull it", and keep them WP:NPOV. --Aude (talk contribs as tagcloud) 00:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment "pull it" is also and obscure term of art used by demolitionists. Silverstein is not a demolitionist. It is not clear how or why he would be using demolitionist terms. --Tbeatty 00:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I forgot that "pull it" is also very briefly mentioned in the Larry Silverstein article. So, this would be the fourth article that mentions "pull it". And, they have tried to put "pull it" into the 7 World Trade Center article, as well. --Aude (talk contribs as tagcloud) 00:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This nonsense is already covered on too many other articles. --Tbeatty 00:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note the edit summary at creation: "(Need this stuff for future arguments and reference)". Wikipedia is not the place for somebody's personal debate crib sheet and/or method of proof.

I'm pretty sure if it gets deleted it's going to be recreated by someone else who thinks the topic has not gotten enough coverage in Wiki. I wouldn't mind keeping in on my home page if it is that obhorrent to the crowd. --Demosfoni 01:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, I didn't see that it still exists in the Controlled Demolition section. I really don't think it belongs under controlled demolition since it is its own topic: it involves the admittance by the buildings owner that building 7 was "pulled". BTW, I noticed that if you type "controlled demolition wtc" in the search engine you don't even get the "controlled demolition hypothesis of the world trade center buildings" page. --Demosfoni 01:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
