[edit] Fraudulent hoax

Delete. Changed from a speedy candidate to a VfD nomination by the author's (User:SamuraiClinton) request. Simply not needed – both Fraud and Hoax are adequately covered in their respective articles, and an article on Fraudulent hoaxes, whatever that might mean, would only dilute the content. Note that the author also added merge directives to Fraud and Hoax without giving any real reason why such a merger would be appropriate. Also note that an RfC is ongoing for SamuraiClinton. android↔talk 00:02, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

This article was made so that content from fraud and hoax that mention them being used on each other could belong here. I think we should keep this. --TheSamurai 23:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The article doesn't make any sense. "Fraudulent hoax" gets less than 100 distinct hits on Google; it simply isn't a term with enough currency in the real world to warrant its own separate article. It's more than sufficient for fraud and hoax to link to each other; there doesn't need to be a breakout article for when the two overlap. Bearcat 00:31, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, won't become an article, dictdef at best. Tempshill 00:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I think it's a reasonable idea, frauds and hoaxes are similar enough to be merged. Unfortunately hoaxes are pretty much all fraudulent, so this wouldn't be the way to do it. Kappa 01:21, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I think they're pretty different concepts. Hoaxes are an attempt to spread misinformation (i.e. "Good Times" email virus warnings) while frauds are deceptive schemes run for profit (i.e. pyramid scams). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:23, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This is no more necessary than an article on Untrue lies. —Charles P. ^(Mirv) 02:52, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete Has about as much meaning as the phrase "Non notable School". Klonimus 04:14, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- ...or "inclusionist trivia." --Calton | Talk 06:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. So is there any difference between "fraud" and "fraudulent hoax"?--Calton | Talk 06:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete - Fraud refers to schemes for personal, usually material, gain, hoax to pranks and jokes that might produce fame or notorierity but no direct material benefits. (Of course, the difference may blur in some of the tricks of P.T. Barnum that were exhibited for money). The problem may be with the term "fraudulent" which in effect means "false". In this context, "fraudulent hoax" would mean "a hoax that does not exist". More reason for delete, in fact... - Skysmith 08:00, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete agree with reasoning of Skysmith and Starblind. Mgm|^(talk) 08:04, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Keep --SPUI (talk) 04:56, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Waking the Tiger

This was voted for undeletion. Accordingly per procedure I am relisting on VfD. I currently have no vote on this article. If I decide otherwise I will enter an explicit vote below.

The article was originally entitled "How to Heal Traumas,"
The original reason given for deletion was "Barely coherent, New Age-ish, unreferenced essay with a special guest appearance by Medusa. In cleanup for more than 6 months. Completely idiosyncratic non-topic."
The original debate is at Talk:Walking_the_Tiger/Archive:Votes_for_deletion:How_to_heal_traumas.
The article at the time of deletion is essentially the identical to the oldest revision of the current article.
The second VfD debate is at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Waking_the_Tiger; most of the delete votes argued that it was re-creation of previously deleted material, most of the keep votes argued that it was a new article about a reasonably notable book.
The VfU discussion centered on the issue of whether this is a re-creation of material voted for deletion, or completely new material. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:08, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Votes

Keep, seems notable enough. --SPUI (talk) 00:27, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, I just edited the article and added a lot of hedging. Previously it was unacceptably presenting as true the various theories about the author. (I know nothing about this alleged book.) Tempshill 00:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I change to abstain; my edits were only to make the factual claims barely acceptable in the event it turns out to be a keeper; I don't endorse the continued existence of the article. Tempshill 00:44, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep. I'm unsure of its notability, but I'll give a 2,183 Amazon sales rank the benefit of the doubt. No judgment from the previous VfD should carry over to this substantially different version. Postdlf 00:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The deletion of this article at the close of the last round of Vfd -- which reached no consensus -- is itself procedurally questionable. Be that as it may, IMO, we must make a decision about the article as it exists, not to enforce some procedural pet peeve. Keep, by the way. Jgm 02:48, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep Amazon rank over 10,000 Suggests this is a notable book. Klonimus 04:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Book's notability is established. Sjakkalle 07:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep per the above. Radiant _* 07:59, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, cleanup and expand. Seems notable. Megan1967 08:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photoshop tutorials

Consists of a little advice on how to make one; non-encyclopedic. Tempshill 00:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't belong here. Either delete or transwiki to Wikibooks; no strong preference which. —Korath (Talk) 01:21, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Moved from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English:

I don't speak Farsi, but just based on the size of what is there, I'd have to say it's a sub-stub. It doesn't seem that deletion would make much of a difference.
Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 08:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep, Cleanup, Expand - this appears to be a genuine university, which would make it inherently encyclopedic - and a poor start does not make it unencyclopedic. I restored the {{notenglish}} tag, in the hopes that it may yet be translated, but if not, we should still have an article in this space. -- 8^D ^gab 20:48, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
- Yes, and I just found it via the category in the restored template. But you neglected to add a notice on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English, as that template requires. So all you did was move it into limbo. Speaking as the person who administers Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English: it had its two weeks. No one picked it up. Yes, this is a legitimate topic, but please don't throw it back to us again. In general, in my experience, most articles in Arabic and Persian don't get fixed. You want to write on this topic? Fine, be my guest. Meanwhile, I would rather not clutter that project page with things that are unlikely to be translated. Make it an English stub and keep it? Fine. Delete it as a sub-stub? Fine. But don't send it through the Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English process a second time, it's not fair to those of us who try to keep that moving. I am removing the {{notenglish}} tag. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:05, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

"What links here" indicates that it's a fictional group in the continuity of Araña. Even if that article itself was not a disaster area, it's not a series notable enough to need breakouts. Merge anything useful into that article and delete this one. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:06, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete. Not even the school's own website establishes notability. It claims the school is in the top 10% of schools in North Carolina, but never provides verification for that claim or even a definition of what criteria were used. No history of the school is given; no indication of whether the school is public or private, and if private, whether secular or religious, and if religious (as the school's name implies), what denomination it belongs to. In short, no encyclopedic information is available about this school, meaning that this substub has no hope of becoming encyclopedic. --Angr/_comhrá 07:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

keep national champions, even if children. How else are you supposed to spot a notable child? Kappa 14:59, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Agree with Kappa. Besides, U.K is a MAJOR chess-playing nation, arguable third in strength to Russia and China in terms of world-class play. Any junior player who has won multiple national championships there is notable &#151 FoodMarket&nbsp&nbsp^talk! 15:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yu Yu Hakusho Episode summaries

Sorry, this does not seem encyclopedic to me at all. WhisperToMe 02:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I don't think it's an unencyclopedic topic, but it's utterly rife with typos and bad grammar, only covers a handful of episodes (of which there are surely dozens) in waaay too much depth, and (sniff, sniff) smells like it was copied from somewhere. If it's to be done, start from scratch and do it right. -- 8^D ^gab 02:57, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
Keep and tag for cleanup and expansion. This is an encyclopedic topic, and the content is quite far removed from nonsense or being unreadable. Meelar (talk) 03:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Leaning toward keep if this isn't a copyvio. Man, talk about a cleanup job, though! BD's solution isn't out of the question IMO. - Lucky 6.9 03:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep unless proved to be a copyvio. No reason that Star Trek should be allowed to have episode summaries if this isn't. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:59, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
No vote. If it's a copyvio, it's not from the web-- it would have to be a text source. I'm really opposed to all of this pop culture stuff, but clearly there is presently a huge precedent for including it. Is there any hope of creating a WikiPopCulture project and transwikiing all the pop culture stuff over to it? (sigh) Mwanner 12:37, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Another idea would be to create a "minipedia" within wikipedia which doesn't show all the pop culture, high schools and uninhabited villages to casual visitors. Kappa 14:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Actually there were plans for a 'light' version of Wikipedia, which seems to consist of a series of pages that link to 'highly encyclopedic' articles. What exactly qualifies as such is unknown to me, but likely would not include Yu Yu Hakusho. The idea was to get a comprehensive 'pedia with about 10000 articles. I don't believe the project is presently active. R adiant _* 15:45, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Keep per Starblind. Kappa 14:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep looks like crap, but if we delete this, there's a lot of other stuff that has to go, too. Condense with great gusto, though. --InShaneee 15:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment I already voted but I'd like to chime in again and state that I very much oppose just assuming something is a copyvio because it's long and in-depth. Accusing an editor of having unlawfully copied an article is one of the most serious accusations we can make here on WP, and in the spirit of assuming good faith, we shouldn't do it unless we have some sort of evidence. If an article is deleted, it should be based on something provable. Voting to delete because something might be a copyvio is silly (and a Google search verifies that this isn't copied from the web and doesn't look like a print source either). Deleting based on looking like a copyvio is every bit as silly as putting someone in prison because they look like a criminal type. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:29, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
- I understand that copyvio is a harsh accusation - I suggested it based not only on the length and depth, but also on the writing style, the format of the original posts (with large blocks of centered or indented text dropped in at a time) and the fact that it was initially posted by an anon (e.g. someone who may be unaware of copyvio policies). No offense meant to anyone, but it has enough signs to at least raise legitimate suspicions. Also, it turns out that there were a something like 112 episodes, and a few movies. As I said before, I'm not calling this unencyclopedic, just suggesting that, all things considered, we may be better starting from scratch with this one. -- 8^D ^gab 06:21, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
Keep, seriously in need of a clean up and probably some trimming as well and I suppose renaming for capitalisation... There are two series listed on IMDB does anyone know if it's the 2002 or the 1992 version or is the article meant to be about both? Lochaber 17:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aggregation awareness

It would be nice to think that the writer knew what he or she was talking about, because there's no clue for the casual reader. This might as well be in Swahili for all I can get out of it. And the phrase "Aggregation awareness" gets a mammoth 15 Google hits. Grutness|^hello? 04:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete Deletion optimizer directs the admins to use the highest level of delete available. - Jersyko 04:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

- Perhaps the fact that this apparently isn't the usual name for this isn't helping. "Aggregation awareness" as a phrase only occurs in Oracle 8i marketing blurbs and as a section heading in a paper. The more well-known concepts appear to be materialized views and aggregation tables (and perhaps summary tables) — see view and table. And read this. Uncle G 02:35, 2005 Apr 16 (UTC)

Keep This film is canon; it was taken from a TV series and has NOT been altered from the fictional universe. It is up here for the fans.

Yes, please keep it! I'll even start a petition if you need it. We were denied a third season! Please don't take this away from us!

There is no reason to remove this page when taking into account the fact that the "Mobius" page has a fan-made map of Mobius. This movie is not "fan-made." It is simply all the episodes of an entire story arc that took place during the series' run and in that order.

Keep. Before being cut and pasted on to other lyrics pages, most of the rap lyrics on the internet were originally posted on this website. Your Alexa ranking is misleading because these websites hardly ever give credit to OHHLA, so they won't get picked up in a search for "OHHLA". CPS 18:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Alexa is a perfectly legitimate ranking in this case.

- Look up the lyrics to any rap song and see what you get. There will be dozens of lyrics pages with the exact same lyrics as OHHLA, which gets its lyrics from online contributors. It's easy to tell that these lyrics are the same because they almost always have mistakes.

Porn internet-radio station. Was tagged and detagged for speedy, I'm bringing it here because it might be regarded as promotion and I'm not sure how to test notability for this kind of thing. 66,600 google hits [2] for a porn internet-radio station. Kappa 14:01, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Notable radio station. Article needs expansion, but is a viable topic. 23skidoo 19:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep radiostations, especially porn ones. Grue 20:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It would appear that it is an internet 'radio' station. Anyone with broadband could set up an internet 'radio' station. Average Earthman 22:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Well, it's concept is quite original, at least I haven't heard of porn radio stations before. The fact that one of the hosts is a porn actress with "world gang bang record" only adds to notability. Grue 06:06, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    - The latest internet fad meets porn. And you're surprised? Average Earthman 15:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      - I'm surprised it even took this long. Megan1967 09:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think radio stations are inherently notable, not in this day and age of media consolidation. There are some stations notable for being pioneer stations (KDKA and WBZ come to mind), and others that are regionally notable for one reason or another, and a borderline case might be WXKS-FM in Boston (Kiss 108, Just Another Clear Channel Slushbomb), whose main point of notability is its sponsorship of the annual Kiss Concert, which is a fairly high-profile free concert. And then you've got (again in the Boston market) WKOX, whose only claim to fame is being one of the local outlets for Air America Radio -- not notable enough IMHO. As for web radio... well... not so much. But see my point below. Haikupoet 22:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep -- it's more or less the radio equivalent of Adult Video News, and appears to be fairly notable within the porn industry. I personally would enjoy it much more if there was other sexual content that didn't revolve around the porn industry per se, but that's a personal opinion, not a vote. Fact is KSEX is notable for being about the only service in its particular niche. Haikupoet 22:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It's at least as notable as all the individual radio masts and power lines that have their own articles. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:18, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- General comments - The term "Rural Markets" have come into circulation for last 10-15 years in the context of Indian economy, particularly, after economic reforms and the green revolution which created a lot of purchasing power in the hands of rural folks of India. This segement of Indian market, particulary, consumer segment, has attracted the attention of big corporates and even of several multi national corporations operating in India. A re-write of the article is required to make it to conform to wikipedia standard and the points must be made clear. I am not sure, but I do have a feeling that the article has been made / written in a style to look like an original research, whereas the factual position is that most of the points are now well accepted reality of the Indian economy. I will try to do revision / give some inputs, so that a consensus may be made for keeping or deleting this article. Right now, I searched the Google - "Rural Markets" gave me 62,600 hits - naturally, the subject has been engaging the attention of people, and the article should find a place in wikipedia. Even, rural markets of China have been gaining prominence. If the consensus emerges, the spelling of the article should be like this: Rural Market --Bhadani 21:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - I have done a revision, which include removing a lot of extra materials. In view of the changes, a fresh stand may be taken - to keep or to delete. I am not participating in the voting process, as I have myself done the revision. However, to attract the attention of the 3 Users who have expressed their opinion, I am requesting them to have a relook at the article --Bhadani 07:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

However moving to List of Arctic explorers would perhaps be inappropriate since it claims to list both Arctic and Antarctic explorers (since everyone on the list except Henry Hudson and Matthew Henson explored both to some extent). --Laura Scudder | Talk 17:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] John Lilburne Research Institute

This is the second VfD for this article. As shown below, the first time there was twice as many votes to delete, but it was kept. This article is a vanity/soapbox/original research by User:MPLX. The only Google references to this organization are from Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirrors. The same user who did this article also created a series of questionable articles and inserted original research on several more. The other articles by this person that are currently on VfD are:

Four Freedoms Federation - (talk) - (VfD)
Province of the Carolanas - (talk) - (VfD)
Eric Gilder (professor) - (VfD)

Detailed info can be found on the various talk and VfD pages. --JW1805 00:50, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I (MPLX) left Wikipedia some months ago after running into the onslaught of the ill-informed Christian right wing. Although I am not monitoring Wikipedia and do not have any intention of rejoining Wikipedia due to the small cabal of noisy and ill-informed (as opposed to uninformed) people who love deleting stuff, I have been pressed to add this comment due to the sudden interest in deleting a few of the articles that I contributed to. (I have written about many topics.)

It would appear that someone has it their head to sever any ties between John Lilburne and the foundation of American law. This led to a constant barrage of negative comments on the Hugo Black article. Now I see that the idea is to claim that "Carolana" is a misspelling of "Carolina" and to go further and claim that the article about Carolana is a hoax. To this end both Dr. Kenneth Brown of the University of Houston and Dr. Eric Gilder of the University of Sibiu have also been smeared as being not noteworthy and at worst as the creators of vanity and even hoax articles. Such rants by the few lunatics who have gained a noisy control over Wikipedia are one reason why I left Wikipedia and why Wikipedia is in danger of becoming the refuge of right-wing idiots.

It would seem that a handful of people are trolling with the intent to delete anything that they may disagree with. I noticed the same approach was used on the subject of copyright law within articles dealing with the subject of recorded music and broadcasting which I also contributed to. Now I see that all broadcasts by 4FWS have been tagged as not worthy because they were on "pirate" radio stations - even though several were on licensed stations. However, everything is being smeared and tarnished to make it appear that everything and anything that I contributed to was either a hoax, a work of vanity or unnoteworthy. I also created the history of the development of the jet fighter, but I have not as yet (and probably won't bother) checked to see if those entries are also being targeted.

It is unfortunate to say the least because I thought that Wikipedia had merit, but when I discovered that a mere handful of dedicated zealots could take it over and put their own stamp of ideological approval on it - I left.

Before making more claims that Carolana never existed I would suggest that you perform a little serious research. Unfortunately the zealots have decided that they are a jack of all subjects (and master of none), and because they have never heard something before it means that the subject is either a hoax or a vanity creation by someone else. How pathetic for Wikipedia!

[edit] John Lilburne Research Institute

I am nominating this vanity page for deletion because I strongly suspect that it violates several Wikipedia policies, especially:

no original research
Wikipedia is not a soapbox

A Google search for this so-called institute brings up only 501 hits.

The user who created this page has been attempting to link several pages (like Miranda v. Arizona) to this page when such links, if any, should link to John Lilburne. Furthermore, as I have already argued at great length on the John Lilburne talk page, Lilburne's impact on modern law may well be of historical importance, but in terms of how modern American criminal law is practiced at present, his impact is minimal when compared to giants like Blackstone, Story, and Ely.

--Coolcaesar 18:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep — and clean up/merge some elements of the article. You are joking when you say it "only" brings up 501 google hits, aren't you?? The JPS 19:00, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm not kidding. Typing in John Lilburne Research Institute into Google brings back only 501 hits, and putting quotes around that (in order to search on the phrase) returns only 9 hits (which all appear to be Wikipedia content, either direct from WP or mirrored). Why the heck should Wikipedia have a page on an institute that obscure? --Coolcaesar 19:24, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean now! Still, I think some reworking could result in this being a good useful article. The JPS 20:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, vanity. This article was written with love and care by an insider who tried to make this non-notable group sound as though it had an actual impact in the world. I would also vote for deletion of Four Freedoms Federation and all the other links these articles contain to non-notable groups and people. This set of inter-linked articles has the veneer of gravity to it, but it's all just a well-crafted set of vanity articles. Tempshill 23:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep unless you can show me why an organization that essentially went into decline around 1992 should have a lot of hits on Google in 2005? By this reasoning only current organizations can be mentioned. Second, this organization obviously did attract attention back in the period from 1984 to 1992, as referenced by publications and broadcasts. For some reason Coolcaesar who describes himself/herself as a "law student" has decided that it is of no consequence that Chief Justice Warren linked Lilburne to Miranda in his opinion of the 1960s, because according to some strange logic here, only cases of the present age are of merit according to this "know-it-all" law student who does not cite books but only various Internet research tools. But not everything is already on the Internet. That's one reason for having Wikipedia! Consequently Leonard W. Levy who won a Pulitzer in 1969 for his work (Origins of the Fifth Amendment) that has Lilburne at its core, is of no avail according to Coolcaesar, who actually went pretty much to the limit by virtually calling Justice Black a senile old git who could not remember the day of the week for adopting Lilburne as his hero. Coolcaesar dismissed Black's biography as being "what did she know, he was too old". I have not used the Heritage Foundation and many other sources for reference because the article is quite long already. However Coolcaesar is making a POV rant by his call for deletion to get rid of something that was news to him/her that did not fit in with something that he/she already knew because on this score Coolcaesar has gone to great lengths to explain his/her superior knowledge about all matters relating to law ... without having a clue as to who he/she is attacking. Anyway, its only a historical article, so whatever. However, if this article falls for this silly reason, then just imagine how many other articles totally unrelated to this subject would be immediately struck from Wikipedia using the same criteria used by Coolcaesar. The sad fact about many Internet junkies is that they declared war on traditional libraries and it is within the books of those libraries that the jewels of education are to be found. When the Internet swept in many libraries began dumping and sometimes selling huge quantities of books and anything else that was printed in order to make space for computer screens. Fortunately many collections were rescued, but not all. But what has been created is a world where books are dispised and the computer screen is thought to hold the keys to all truth. In 2005 it does not. MPLX/MH 02:02, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- None of the above rant answers the criticism that this odd set of articles is, collectively, a vanity piece that doesn't belong on Wikipedia. By the way, John Lilburne is not the subject of the discussion, but John Lilburne Research Institute. Tempshill 22:13, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It seems a bit much to complain that "the website has no Alexa score". Alexa tracks websites, not businesses. A business that has no significant web presence still exists and may be encyclopedic. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:16, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stephan Kinsella is a non-notable corporate lawyer who has written some articles and contributed to some e-published legal treatises. This is a slightly edited down version of his autobiography, posted by an administrator at an institute of which he's an adjunct member. He does blog a lot, hence some Google hits.

This notion of NPOV is comical. Willmcw clearly has an agenda. When he couldn’t get rid of Kinsella’s article through his claim of copyright violation he nominated it for deletion. Further, there are scores of less notable people with their own articles on Wikipedia. Unisgned comment by User:157.252.160.135
- Feel free to list these alleged less notable people on vfd. Whatever agenda you claim the nominator has, other wikipedians have voted delete anyway. The only keep vote so far is from you, an anon IP. (cue the socks.) The JPS 21:59, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Take a look at the articles started by Willmcw has started, there are certainly less notable people among them. As to Kinsella's status as being notable, he is certainly considered one of the top authors in his field. The fact is the voters have no knowledge of that particular area. They would probably think Walter Block is similarly non-notable. As to my vote, clearly it was somewhat in jest, and like Kinsella, I don’t care if you delete the article. However, I won’t stand by and let you think there was some sort of legitimate process that took place in its selection for deletion. As to my not being registered, I don't intend to register.
- That's absolutely fine. Whatever the motivation for nomination, the vfd process is legitimate. The JPS 22:47, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Keep your illusions. This process has no legitimacy at all. You're trying to pass it as "democracy" because there's a "vote" involved. 3 or 4 persons voting in support of their friend when he asks for it is hardly democracy (I'm using "friend" in the sense of "fellow Wikipedian aristocrat"). Wllmcw is clearly calling this vote because he felt offended that his GNU propaganda wasn't shared by the article's subject. Wikipedia is about transmitting knowledge, not forcing everybody to accept the GNU licence. --Franz1984 (forgot my password)

[edit] The New Aggregation

Neologism created by vanity author whose own autobiography, John Blossom, was listed for VfD before I userfied it. Rick K 23:34, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Vanity --Neigel von Teighen 23:36, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Josh Cherry 23:58, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. vanity, (advertising?) - the link is to John Blossom's website, and the term is not widely used, 550 hits on google, many of which are irrelevant. SeventyThree 18:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Modifed entry. New to this, but I point out that Shore.com is not a personal Web site, our company is a group of content industry analysts who publish an email newsletter and weblog read by hundreds of content industry executives. Please see our press page for recent quotations in the mainstream press, including articles writeen by myself and other Shore analysts. I will trust the judgment of others on the value of this entry, but given the changing state of content aggregation I believe that it's an important part of an ongoing dialogue on the nature of content. Glad to heed advice on how to improve it. John Blossom 02:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The vote was inconclusive so the result of the debate was keep for all four articles. - AndyL 03:25, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Young Left

It appears that this never made it main VfD page... re-posting. Vote Delete as non-notable. Googling "young left"+toronto-jays (need to omit the young left-handers on the Toronto Blue Jays) gives approx 500 hits. Feco 23:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Young Left article seems worthy of deletion on notability grounds. I tried to encourage improvement but on re-reading it seems unlikely to be notable enough to justify it. I vote Delete Johnnyio 04:19, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is most likely that this sock puppet troll Johnnyio is out for revenge, probably over the stuff in the Paul Robeson article with TDC. I think membership in the World Federation of Democratic Youth alone is significant enough for an entry. I vote Keep! --Mista-X 04:34, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Love out to Mista-X our brother from Canada, but I am not motivated by revenge I am just not at all certain a membership organization with no members is notable enough for an entry. If you are or were a member, perhaps there is more you can tell us about the organization to justify its article. I doubt membership of the World Federation of Democratic Youth is sufficient, and such membership would need to be established anyway. Good luck with it. Johnnyio 04:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I never said I was from Canada and why does it matter? Why do you assume that YL has no members? The organization is smaller than it was a year ago, but it still exists. Some of the members are currently abroad, and some are holding posts in student unions. When I get the chance to add more information I will. I am 90% sure YL was a member of WFDY, and perhaps I can e-mail WFDY to confirm this. At any rate, YL is a historical reality, which may be more than you can say for yourself. --Mista-X 04:47, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:57, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete unless something can be changed, Axeattack 05:14, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep group is relatively well known in Toronto. AndyL 07:09, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I trust AndyL above. (Mista-X, you too but please avoid personal attacks.) Samaritan 15:07, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. CJCurrie 23:32, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete --Spinboy 00:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Notability not established. Indrian 04:08, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - SimonP 13:06, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep, seems established well enough. R adiant _* 13:31, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Ground Zero 14:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete Lack of Notability TDC 01:21, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
Delete YL not notable, the article itself acknowledges that. Dagen 05:37, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep A significant Toronto left group which is recognized by the United Nations Ruy Lopez 05:52, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Recognized the United Nations? What are you talking about? Dagen 06:23, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. They're quite notable, actually. TIMBO (T A L K) 08:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I also must note that Johnnyio was blocked shortly after his posts here for sockpuppeting, POV pushing, vandalism etc. TIMBO (T A L K) 08:13, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
