[edit] Windkin
The entry just arouses nonnotability. Lotsofissues 00:20, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and send to the Home for Retired Necromancers. Yeesh. FreplySpang (talk) 00:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, doesn't establish notability. As a side note, List of characters in Elfquest links to the page, but it appears to be talking about an elf, not a gnome. LtNOWIS 01:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete all player characters from MMORPGs and pen-and-paper RPG campaigns. android↔talk 01:55, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Sullon zek, he is mentioned there (although that article needs formatting and expansion). Megan1967 03:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC merged into Everquest. android↔talk 03:33, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
-
- Yes, you are probably correct. Megan1967 06:52, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Barring that, we could merge this into Things that encourage VfD voters to coin new words ending in "-cruft". sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 05:39, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Windkin is an important character from ElfQuest. Since his presence on EverQuest is merely that of a player character (arguably an ElfQuest fan), delete and redirect to List of characters in Elfquest. Radiant_* 10:14, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- What the?!?!?! NO, I repeat NO character from an MMO will EVER deserve a mention on Wiki. Unless they commit suicide and there's a huge intellectual debate or something like that. As suggested above, delete and redirect to List of characters in Elfquest. A very good idea Radiant! Might as well make the redirect of (potential) use. Master Thief Garrett 22:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Irshadcassim
you know, for someone as influential as Irshad Cassim is supposed to be, he's got a surprisingly low amount of Google hits: one - and reading the page shows that his name isn't even actually there. His multimillionaire wife "who owns six chemical industries" doesn't show up either. Some of his famous ancestors appear to have existed outside of this entry, but I'm dubious as to whether they were actually his ancestors. Purge. DS 23:55, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- DS, I've shortened your URL cutting out the unnecessary tags so future editors don't have to put up with a horizontal scrollbar. Hope you don't mind... Master Thief Garrett 22:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, only 1 Google hit [1] from a letters column in a newspaper - not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 03:24, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. ONE Google hit?!? I've never, never, never seen so few listings for a real person. Probably vanity, there looks to be as much info here as there is at that other site. It talks of relation to royalty, but like DS I severely doubt this is real. Delete I say! Delete away! Master Thief Garrett 22:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Puffer thief
This was marked as {{cleanup-importance}} after it was Transwikied to Wiktionary. The problems it has are that the claims made in it are unverified, and its importance is questioned. A comment made on its talk page says, "Some of the information came from a police officer I personally know, research on stolen cars, and from [a] newspaper article itself (the part I remembered). The officer I know did say he had never heard the term, but he also never worked in the area (Colorado/Denver) where the term seems to be used." Of course, there are no specific third party references to back this up. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:11, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I'm the one that cleaned up the grammar/POV and applied the tags. The problem of running cars getting stolen is certainly real, but the term "puffer thief" is a neologism. Merge into Motor vehicle theft, but don't refer to "puffer thief" at all. android↔talk 02:17, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Neologism. --Carnildo 20:24, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cat physics
Delete, cute but unencyclopedic/original research/unverifiable/all that. BJAODN? FreplySpang (talk) 02:34, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: Agree with above. --Durin 02:34, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as unencyclopedic, in spite of the fact that a cat's tail is currently swishing across my keyboard as I type. Joyous 02:36, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no BJAODN. Cute, but not funny or weird enough for that. android↔talk 02:48, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, nonencyclopedic. Not bad enough for BJAODN. Also, it's pretty widespread on the Internet: [2], [3], [4]. All three have copyright notices, but the last says the piece itself may be in the public domain. But it's still not an encyclopedia article even if it isn't a copyvio. --Angr/comhrá 05:41, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Unencyclopedic, original research, unverifiable, but not really BJAODN material. Zzyzx11 | Talk 05:59, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. With great sadness. El_C 07:06, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete or Userfy for the reasons listed above. Firebug 07:15, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Wikipedia is not a repository of stale, outdated and oft-repeated allegedly humourous internet lists such as this. Average Earthman 08:54, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
keep Agesander 12:33, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Delete. This is, of course, the only important piece of cat physics. sjorford →•← 14:54, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. And what the heck, include it in BJAODN just because we don't have GJAODN. --Idont Havaname 20:32, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, I think I got this very same crap via email more than once! Master Thief Garrett 03:05, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I think Wikipedia is the kind of place where this eminently sensible article can cohabit with such gibberish as the Rules of Acquisition. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:25, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I'd change my vote if the content could be contextualilzed within a bona fide phenomenon such as a notable book that made these popular or a well-known and long surviving internet joke that has documentable history and interest.Tobycat 00:51, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I think Wikipedia is the kind of place where this eminently funny article can cohabit with such lies as Evolution. RossNixon 10:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amateur Writerz
I came across this little gem while cleaning up a substub (Amateur writing). It's a neat bit of adcopy, but utterly non-notable as the site's on free hosting and only has 20 stories. Sorry chaps, you'll have to do better than that.
And the moral of that is: go fix a substub today, it's very relaxing. humblefool® 03:04, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- delete. Where does a personal webpage ad end and an enclyclopedic article about an established organisation begin? Obviously NOT HERE. At least they used the word "amatuer". Master Thief Garrett 03:21, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, advert. Megan1967 07:26, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete ad Dsmdgold 10:42, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete ad. The page Self-publishing links to it. That should probably be edited out if the delete is made. Tobycat 00:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It could be a very useful market for a beginning writer to look into. They're interested in publishing one of my pieces, in fact. The_Iconoclast 20:10, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plant hormone theory I and Plant hormone theory II
While plant hormone and the way that the control plant development and respond to stress is perfectly acceptable material for Wikipedia, these articles are not the way to do it. First of all they're essays and may include original research, I hypothesize pops up frequently in the text. Second, the way it is written both simplifies and complicates the issue at the same time, so anyone that read it and is not a plant biochemist (and even then...) is going to come out confused. Third, nothing is cited (which is why I'm not just merging the articles), this knowledge doesn't just exist it has come from years of research, this brings up two problems, people aren't being credited for their work, and everything in these massive articles would need to be fact checked and referenced, since it has been written to meet the authors hypothesis, literature has also been left out. So weighing all that up I am recommending that these be deleted
I should also mention that these have been used with permission from a website [5]. --nixie 03:11, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Comments on the website lead me to believe that these fall into the realm of original research. Joyous 03:26, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete original research, especially when they don't cite anything. Mgm|(talk) 08:32, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The references for the articles are at Talk:Plant_hormone - Fuelbottle | Talk 18:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- An essay like that really needs in text referencing, are you prepared to do that?--nixie 23:36, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I like this topic and 95% of the content, but the articles need to be overhauled and made "encyclopedic". To preserve them, remove speculation and any first person observations. Remove author's research unless truly widely recognized as field-advancing. Add links and references. Then it could be better than any of our endless cruft on tv and video game characters. alteripse 03:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Topic may be encyclopedic but the current content is not (yet). Unfortunately the general plant hormone article, though shorter, is in a similar sorry state. It's the one, though, that should stay since it has the potential for meaningful cleanup. These two should go. Tobycat 01:08, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Agree with Tobycat's comments. CheekyMonkey 22:36, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with alteripse. This seems to be more of a research paper than an encyclopedia article. --Kerowyn 03:57, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Since there is already a much more concise Plant_hormone page, I'm inclined to agree with Tobycat. --Alan Au 05:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

A non-notable forum, completely unencyclopædic and the article seems to be used as a message board, too. DO'Иeil 03:41, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Pamcruft. -- 8^D gab 04:05, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)
- Dont delete!. The term Pamcake is an rising slang in High School conversations, mainly in the Houston Area. This page correctly identifies the accurate usage of such a term so that it will not see a quickened end due to incorrect usage. Furthermore, new ideas such as this should not be frowned upon because new ideas, however dumb at first, is essential in the continuation of our social legacy. --User:Cheney (actually 68.92.196.52 04:39, 2005 Apr 22 according to history Uncle G 16:00, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC))
- Dont delete!. Yea he's right. You have to start somewhere with these new terms. Give it a chance , please. 70.241.81.238 04:43, 2005 Apr 22 (according to history Uncle G 16:00, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC))
- So every neologism is allowed to have a page? Come on. This is not worthy of an article. --Durin 04:48, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. You may have to start somewhere but that place isn't Wikipedia. FreplySpang (talk) 04:47, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Neologism. Jayjg (talk) 05:16, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete dicdef neologisms. Simple definitions of words should not be put in an encyclopedia. Read WP:WIN Mgm|(talk) 08:35, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Strong delete. This could serve as a textbook example of a trivial fancruft article. — JIP | Talk 09:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, redirect to Meet the Parents (movie) as a character therein. Radiant_* 12:45, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- The schoolchildren aiming to get their made-up word into the dictionary have once again missed, and hit the encyclopaedia instead. (They've also hit the dictionary. Wiktionary:pamcake is up for deletion right now.) A quick search reveals that several other people have, from time to time, made up this word, although apparently not seriously. (One web site makes the flimsy claim, based solely upon a picture, that Pamela Anderson is going into competition with IHOP.) It also reveals that a lot of people have mis-spelled pancake. No such word. Therefore no such concept/person/place/thing to warrant an encyclopaedia article by this title. Redirect either as per Radiant! or to pancake. Uncle G 16:00, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)
- Delete. Could be a redirect to pancake as a typo. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 18:04, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as a neologism dicdef. --Carnildo 20:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Neologism that I've never even heard of, and I'm a high school senior. Linuxbeak 20:52, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as pamcakes with sockpuppet syrup. Can we vote over at Wiktionary, I wonder? -Lucky 6.9 21:43, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Oops...no need. They speedied it. - Lucky 6.9 21:44, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- redirect it to pancake then Yuckfoo 00:44, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Newton Arvin
- del. nonnotable. old news. Mikkalai 07:07, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a towering work of genius now that I'm done with it.
- Vote by User:64.160.45.112, who has a dozen edits.
- Weak keep as published author, even if he only writes meta-literature. Radiant_* 10:17, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, you can buy his book [7] and a biography of him [8] on Amazon.com, plus 800 Google hits [9], pretty good for an author who's been dead for more than 40 years. --bainer 12:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Very minor arcade company with only two locations in Bakersfield, California. No encyclopedic potential (not yet, at least). I suggest it be deleted. --Poiuyt Man (talk) 07:14, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, they just do tournaments etc. of OTHER COMPANIES' games. So, no, non-notable. My local fish-'n'-chip shop would probably have a more exciting story to tell revolving around the acquisition of its US/Euro-region cabinets despite the shop itself being located in New Zealand.

[edit] Bunny boiler
This page is a slang term and its etymology. It's already in Wiktionary so don't vote "transwiki". Kevin Rector (talk) 07:50, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, Wiktionary article is perfectly adequate. Average Earthman 08:52, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This can be expanded into a proper article on bunny boiling, examples of similar obsessive behaviour in reality, examples of the term used in the press, etc. Matthew Platts 14:21, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, with recipes, too. Mikkalai 21:56, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Already in Wiktionary. Concept can be covered in stalking, erotomania, girlfriend. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 18:38, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The term "bunny boiling" should not be used to lump together all sorts of obsessive behavior, that would obviously belong in the Obsessive Behavior article. RickK 20:55, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. nonnotable, nonexpandable. BTW this is a slang term, not a medical term, kinda sorta "psycho". Mikkalai 21:56, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't *sound* medical, so that means it isn't! Medical terms are always either mutli-syllable mouthfuls (psychosomatic dyssentry), or based on the name of the first researcher/sufferer (Asperger's Syndrome) or Latin (no example comes to mind). It originates from a movie, so possibly fancruft. Master Thief Garrett 22:40, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete for the reasons expressed here
- Agree. The previous page was deleted for non-notability as per VfD procedure, no need for a re-vote for an attempt to re-create in under another name. This is therefore a speedy deletion candidate. -- Karada 08:46, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete, though someones redirected to Homosexual bishop. —Xezbeth 19:51, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
- This looks to me like a conclusion to delete the redirect. There is nothing of value in the article history - since this was never anything but a crude attack page. Nothing could reasonably link here. It should be deleted. — Trilobite (Talk) 05:00, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gay Pope
Speculation and innuendo, created in bad faith as a more subtle way of calling Pope Benedict XVI gay than engaging in crude vandalism of his article, which would be quickly reverted. You only have to look at the line: "The current Pope is Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor was Pope John Paul II. They were known to be very good friends." This is also original research, and not encyclopedic. — Trilobite (Talk) 12:15, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I removed this line. Whether or not the article is deleted, this sort of innuendo has no place in Wikipedia. Shoaler 13:42, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just how many... is not known... it is now more likely than ever that there recently has been or currently is a gay pope." If you remove the nonfactual sentences there is literally nothing left in the article. Dpbsmith (talk) 14:20, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It was made into a redirect to homosexual bishop several times, before VfD, but the anon keeps writing own essay, despite being warned at talk page. I am making into a redirect and protecting now. The text has nothing new. If you disagree, you may look into the history.
There is no reason to feed a troll who doesn't listen reason, by a VfD. Mikkalai 14:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Mikkalai, this isn't about feeding a troll, it's about removing a very offensive article. It MUST GO, whether the troll goes with it or not.
- Delete. All the reasons said above. This is probably VERY offensive to Catholics. Or, at least, if I was Catholic I know *I* would be offended! So, yeah, deleted. I'd say homosexual bishop could one day share a similar VfD fate as cruel editors could word it in a very offensive way... Master Thief Garrett 22:33, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Since when was offensiveness against Catholics criteria for deletion? - Omegatron 23:10, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Good point! I said "probably", but even so I didn't quite word it correctly. I'm not worried about it sounding offensive, but I'm just saying that someone may take such offense that they vandalise or start an edit war to get rid of the content. I mean, if you started an article about, say, rapidly increasing gay suicide rates or something (potentially) objectionable like that, there'd be bound to be someone offended by it and would want it taken care of. So do Catholics count in the same "Political Correctness protect-o-bubble" as ethnic/sexual-orientation groups, or not? EDIT: I'm not saying that term to offend anyone/any group, it's just the briefest wording to explain how those groups are protected. Just thought I'd clear that up. Master Thief Garrett 23:45, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It should be deleted because it's just stupid vandalism; not because it's potentially offensive to someone. We'd have to delete a lot if we cared about potentially offending individual people. :-) Wikipedia may contain objectionable content - Omegatron 00:33, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

All it needs is a Redirect. No need for VfD process.On second thought, Merge both articles into Thundarr the Barbarian per WP:FICT. android↔talk 14:40, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)- In general, please don't ever move a page by cutting and pasting its contents to a new title; this loses the article's history and authorship information, which is needs to be preserved to satisfy the GFDL. Instead, use the "Move this page" link. It's not an issue in this specific case, however, since only you edited the article; you could have marked it {{db|author request}}, and avoided the bureaucratic hassle of vfd (see also WP:CSD). The merge to Thundarr the Barbarian is probably best. —Korath (Talk) 14:44, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anglo-Saxon Attitudes
Delete. I'm putting this article up for a vote for deletion after finding it in the articles to be cleaned up section. On the talk page a few people have commented on the ambiguity and POV nature of the article and I simply have no idea what to do with it. The article talks about two authors who already have seperate articles written about them. If you take away those two sections of the article, then there really isn't much substance left to the article at all. It's such an obscure and non-notable subject that I feel it would be best to delete it. I don't see any hope of a merger or cleanup. --Randolph 14:44, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep — RJH 16:24, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. A an encyclopedic article for a known expression. Why would one want to remove "those two sections" that explain the history of the term? In this way one can decimate almost every article. Encyclopedia is not a bunch of 100% separated topics. Things tend to be interrelated and overlapped in real life. Mikkalai 18:07, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, it's not POV to document a POV expression, compare gringo and WASP. Kappa 19:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- if you keep it, move it to the correct title. Gdr 22:14, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)
- Keep WLD 22:41, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Perfectly decent article. I'll bet most people who encountered the phrase in Through the Looking-Glass were puzzled by the expression. An explanation of the background is worthwhile. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Much less obscure to those of us who read and write than articles about video game characters. alteripse 03:09, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep but rename to correct capitalisation. Radiant_* 10:29, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Nice little article. Capitalistroadster 03:30, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - this is not a common theme for discussion, does not convince me that the Alice reference is related to a broader discourse, and is incredibly poorly composed.XmarkX 09:08, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It's also the title of a very well-known novel which has been continuously in print since 1956. It seems to have become a sort of catch-phrase like blue-plate special, used as a vaguely witty headline for all sorts of things. Google shows it to be the title of an academic conference, a title for a themed issue of an online journal of medieval northwestern Europe, etc. A search for the phrase "Anglo-Saxon attitudes" in a www.a9.com search limited to books shows many uses in the sense mentioned by the article. For example, Christopher Hitchens writes in a 1995 book, "But, like the migration of Shakespearean birds, Anglo-Saxon attitudes are able in the United States, in some sense, to cut with the grain." The main thing that this indeed-incredibly-poorly-composed article fails to do is to give any uses of the phrase contemporary with Lewis Carroll; that is, I still don't know what Carroll was riffing on. I do get the impression that most modern usage of the phrase is either a direct reference to Wilson's novel, a direct reference to Through the Looking-Glass, or a mere flippant use as a catch-phrase.

[edit] Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
Delete. The article is not only factually bare, but also seems to be a mockery of the song. It provides no real information as to the nature of the song, its recording, and its significance. Although it does outline the "plot", the song really doesn't have much of a story. As such, an entire page devoted to the "story" is an insignificant waste of space.WalkinDownThirtyThree 16:05, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- All those seem to be arguments that the article should be cleaned, not deleted. It doesn't look like you're saying this is a bad topic for a song. Keep, but
I could well change my mind if people present some arguments as to why this is a bad topic for an article. Meelar (talk) 19:30, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)Pretty definite keep, if it was a hit single. Meelar (talk) 00:00, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC) - Keep, and add some context. This was a hit single, or at least a single. "waste of space" doesn't really apply to wikipedia, something like "would disappoint anyone who found it" might apply though. Kappa 19:46, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Seems to be one of the "Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock And Roll" [11]. Kappa 01:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Eh, I see what you're saying. Perhaps I was just so disgusted with the stupidity of what was written that I acted irrationally. Perhaps I'll write the new article myself! --24.55.187.176 02:28, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. Notable song as part of Springsteen's live show as well as classic rock song. Capitalistroadster 03:35, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discordian Pope
I suggest the merger of this article with Discordianism, as it is quite illogical on its own. Not what most would call encyclopedic, and there is already a section regarding this on the main article anyway. --Sn0wflake 16:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- keep separate. The Discordianism artilce is long, and article splitting is wikipedia's policy. There is nothing illogical to have separate articles for separate subjects. And there is a huge number of fancruft in wikipedia that many people would deem eunencyclopedic, but fans have a different opinion. Mikkalai 17:53, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Merge to a section in the Discordianism article, per WP:FICT. Not separately encyclopedic, even after a Catholic pope dies. Parent article may be large but this topic can't be expanded to merit an article... unless you want to list all six billion Discordian popes. Barno 19:26, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- WP:FICT is a semi-policy, to bundle two-liners into a list. If an article is over a 1000 characters, then let it be. Also, the current article is incomplete, despite your claim, and I am even not a discordianist :-). Right now I am adding an important bit, but there is more of it. Mikkalai 22:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep separate per Mikkalai Kappa 19:44, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Mikkalai. All hail discordia. 23skidoo 03:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This article is long enough that a merge would make Discordianism even harder to read than it already is. DenisMoskowitz 13:22, 2005 Apr 24 (UTC)
- Keep Shoulp we merge the topic "Pope" under Catholicism? The topics are related, but distinct.
- Keep Discordian Pope is a distinct and self contained element of Discordianism that merits its own page. Besides, the Discordian page should be split into sperate articles as it is, why compound the problem by adding in more sections? brash
- Keep. I've seen the Discordianism page. And you, sir, are no Discordianism page. -- 8^D gab 21:02, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)
- Comment. Discussions on whether a merge is necessary properly belong on the article's talk page, not on VfD. Don't saddle admins with the responsibility of carrying out such merges; regular users can do this just fine, so they usually won't do it anyway. Putting the vote on VfD does not give it extra legitimacy, and what's worse, it emphasizes a vote over a discussion to consensus. In short: don't put things on VfD unless you want them deleted. JRM · Talk 08:57, 2005 Apr 27 (UTC)
- Wrong. Even shorter: we delete "articles", not "things". Mikkalai 18:38, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, to be replaced with a line "Every Discordian is a Discordian Pope" on Discordianism. All of these supposed elaborations on the power of a Discordian Pope are entirely in the mind of the author(s); the Principia just says that everyone is a Discordian Pope, and empowered to make up their own powers. None of this stuff reflects any sort of community consensus (this is Discordianism we're talking about) or any sort of canon (again, Discordianism). Any article that suggests some sort of structure or consensus in Discordianism should be taken with a massive grain of salt. A Man In Black 12:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- All these "elaborations" are documented. We have plenty of fictional things which are "in minds of their authors", but nevertheless are in separate articles. Mikkalai 18:38, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete/Merge - This simple idea has been articlized into a joke. Put it into the main article where it belongs. - Tεxτurε 18:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- What's wrong with a joke? Many elaborate enough jokes have own pages. With all due respect, your suggestion is an opposite to wikipedia's way: articles are being split as they grow. Mikkalai 18:38, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nathan McClain
Not encyclopedic; only entries found through Google are a memorial site and an "artist of the month" listing. - jredmond 16:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Recognizing the subjective nature of Art and what's considered "popular" or not. Nathan McClain (1973-1997) was a U.S. illustrator, artist, and painter who died at 24. This deceased artist recently received international recognition at the Museums & the Web conference and is developing a passionate following. Please reconsider this deletion and keep the entry for others to view. (comment left by anon user 63.125.147.253)
- Delete, not notable at present (though this may of course change at a later stage) Worldtraveller 17:08, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment (not a vote). I'm the curator of Nathan's online gallery and was honored to find it listed in Wikipedia. There was a conference I attended in Canada where I spoke about Nathan and his art. There were numerous comments about how moved people were by his story and I'm speculating that someone wrote this Wikipedia entry based on that. You probably haven't heard of him before and you won't see his art in traditional galleries (it's all privately owned). As of today, Nathan McClain would be considered an underground artist with loyal supporters. The awareness of his art and who he was is getting greater attention. Nathan's listing here appears to be a very brief high-level summary; an extensive biography can be provided if needed. Hope this helps provide a context. Nmadmin 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Can you provide evidence that would help the community make this decision? For example, does McClain meet one or more of the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies? If so, can you cite verifiable evidence of that? (You might also want to look at WP:MUSIC. It's not written for visual artists but it might give you a sense of the kinds of evidence that the community usually considers appropriate. And perhaps you could help us develop parallel suggestions for visual artists.) Thanks. Rossami (talk)
- Comment (response): After reviewing the criteria for inclusion of biographies, here's some supporting evidence. Has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field? There was a grassroots fundraising effort in the Fall of 2004 to save an 16 foot x 8 foot mural that Nathan painted. Because of Nathan's popularity, the Middle School he attended now owns this painting and it is displayed in their cafeteria. The saving of the painting involved people who did not know Nathan and was reported in the local paper, a local art zine, & the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A dedication ceremony/career retrospective is being planned for early June to not conflict with school activities. Also, there is a current effort to locate an Ozzie Smith painting that Nathan created which was auctioned off in 1996 when Ozzie retired from baseball. There was a feature about this and Nathan on the St. Louis Fox news affiliate. Verifiablity In addition to being the curator of his gallery, I was his best friend of 20 years - we met when he was 4 and I was 5. So all biographical details would be accurate and independently verifiable especially as more articles are written about Nathan. Presuming this Wiki entry is kept, I would be more than willing to supply a fuller biography than what exists today. Nmadmin 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. It is possible to die young and still become a notable artist - I'm just reading a book on Henri Gaudier-Brzeska at the moment. But it takes time to build a reputation and I don't think it has happened yet in this case. The lack of independent sources is also a problem. -- Solipsist 08:02, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Misty Watlered
Non-notable, no google hits, hoax. Here was my post on the Misty Watlered talk page:
This, and along with Tribal (album), "Ocean Limit", "Anime Queen", "Is Your Drawing Rad" and "Evolution" seem to be made up. Nothing can be found on any search engine for these, except links to Wikipedia itself. There's not even a link from Misty (Pokémon) to here. Also looking at the page histories and user contributions, it seems like the IPs 64.231.163.147 (talk · contribs), 64.231.163.66 (talk · contribs), 64.231.170.177 (talk · contribs), 64.231.168.195 (talk · contribs) and 64.231.131.114 (talk · contribs) are contributing to this (these articles are what the IPs have edited mainly). They have also seemed to have edited Spice Girls and Avril Lavigne articles, and maybe some others, so can other users check those pages too for anything to be reverted.--secfan 08:29, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. IMDB turns up nothing. There's a possibility that "Watlered" is a typo for something else, but searches on "Misty" + the album names also don't seem to turn up anything. If not a hoax, at the very least not notable. -- Curps 18:30, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, as above. Unless someone made HUGE typos in both the name (Mindy?) and the albums ("Trivial (album)?") then it's a crappy hoax. Actually, if this is a hoax as it seems to be, does it qualify for a speedy? Master Thief Garrett 22:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. No such thing. There just isn't. I have checked the Avril Lavigne and Spice Girls articles, and this person seems to have just been making slight grammatical corrections to barely noticable errors (I am a constant Avril Lavigne checker). Otherwise, this singer does not exist. This is also because Misty's voice-actor is Rachael Lillis, not "Misty Watlered", unless like stated above, a huge typo was made (which honestly wasn't).
- Delete. Brianjd | Why restrict HTML? | 07:08, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

- True story - when I was a peer advisor in my university, we were taught a variety of "ice-breakers" - tried and true methods for getting groups of strangers warmed up to one another. Apparently these are a big hit on the corporate scene. There ought to be an article on that topic, and this ought to redirect to it. -- 8^D gab 01:46, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
- Isn't there a Parker Bros. game called "Break the Ice"? Redirect to that and make an article on the game. RickK 21:48, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Never heard of the game, but icebreaker activitities are common at, say, scouting camps. See Icebreaker (disambiguation). I'd like this and Breaking the Ice merged with some samples of common icebreaker games. Radiant_* 10:33, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
- There was a Milton Bradley game called Don't Break the Ice. The facilitation activities (corporate, scouting, etc) are most commonly known as "icebreakers" - an article which we need but do not yet have. Unless someone has a better suggestion, I will create it at icebreaker (facilitation). Redirect this dicdef there.

- Comment about Isaac R's vote; Google pulls up Makil as a late music professor and musician. There was only one page that I saw that was relevant enough to be considered, and that was the UP's obituary of him (http://www.up.edu.ph/makil.htm).

- The first two of those hits are dictionaries, the third is a non-existent page, and the 7th is this deletion discussion. Looking further, we find that instead of 9000, Google actually returns only 54 distinct results on your first search. And every single entry on pages 4, 5, and 6 of those search results is a dictionary. Uncle G 09:50, 2005 Apr 25 (UTC)

They're crosslinked by a lot of alternate healing web sites, and have been written up in serious newspapers maybe a half-dozen times. It doesn't make sense to merge them with Rainbow Gathering because they do operate away from the annual gathering.
