[edit] FLESSAS FAMILY

Grenavitar marked this vfd on January 4 as a duplicate of Flessas Family, but never made a subpage or listed it on vfd. I'd just redirect, but since the same anon started both articles and there's thus no GFDL requirement, and this would be quite useless as a redirect, my vote is delete. —Korath (Talk) 00:05, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Delete --Fuzzball! 03:10, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable, geneology. Megan1967 06:24, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fab lab

Atlantima marked this vfd on March 28, but never made a subpage or listed it on vfd. I'm just listing it here; do not consider this a vote. (Note that the first sentence has already been transwikied to Wiktionary.) —Korath (Talk) 00:08, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fahed Abul Ethem Nsour

Not notable. Looks like a vanity or something close. --OU812 01:09, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:09, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep needs some tender love. Jordanian supreme court justices are notable. Klonimus 02:10, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep notable. —Sesel wa 04:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable - fails Google test. Megan1967 06:26, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep and don't rely on the simplest kind of "Google test" for Arabic names. Supreme court presidents and cabinet members of any nationality are notable. Fahed Abul Ethem Ensur is Jordan's Minister of State for Legal Affairs since October 2004.[1]. / Uppland 07:12, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- PS. Another variant: Fahd Abul Athem Ensour.[2] / Uppland 07:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Concur with that, keep. Radiant _* 07:16, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Secretary of State (of a real country), therefore notable. Average Earthman 12:32, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, of course, and cleanup. - Mustafaa 22:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep - if he were an American, he'd have a huge page on him for such a career. Of course, he's Jordanian, but nonetheless, this page could be a worthy addition. I say request improvement from anyone who can help! --Harro5 07:31, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Focal points

Delete - how-to essay concerning somebody's about how to decorate a room. Doesn't belong on wikipedia, and a very misleading article title, too. - DavidWBrooks 19:07, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was redirect to Francis Schaeffer. —Korath (Talk) 14:38, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Francis Shcaeffer

This unmarked substub mispells its own title -- there is a real article on Francis Schaeffer. Clearly needs to be deleted.Zantastik 07:19, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:14, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Francis Schaeffer. There's nothing unique in this sub-stub that's not in the full article. Jonathunder 00:52, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
Redirect to Francis Schaeffer. Klonimus 02:11, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete with no redirect. —Sesel wa 04:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, no redirect. This unusual spelling mistake is not common enough to justify a redirect. Megan1967 06:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect. You would not believe all the different misspellings people can make. Sjakkalle 07:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirects are cheap. Mgm|^(talk) 08:03, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect - I can imagine someone making this misspelling. Firebug 09:35, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete I'm not convinced spelling errors should be redirected. Paradiso 12:37, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Plausible spelling errors should by redirected. The fact that someone misspelled the name this way suggests plausibility in my opinion. See WP:R. Sjakkalle 13:36, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete spelling error. Oliver Keenan 16:46, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirects are cheap. plausible spelling error. Dave the Red (talk) 18:26, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect Redirects are cheap, and you can do them without having to have a VFD. DJ Clayworth 18:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
CSD policy says to speedy delete typos. Delete, do not Redirect. Rick K 20:20, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

And WP:R policy says we use redirects for misspellings. Sjakkalle 06:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I see no problem with a redirect. From WP:CSD, "This does not include common mis-spellings, as redirects from those are considered useful." I suppose we could debate whether this is a common enough mis-spelling, but is that really worth the time? Radiant _* 08:11, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect. It simply doesn't matter and redirects are less controversial. I wouldn't object if someone did this immediately without waiting for conclusion of VfD; what do others think? Dpbsmith (talk) 18:03, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I decided to be bold and do the redirect. If the vote is for deletion, this may still be performed after appropriate consensus. Firebug 01:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirects are cheap. Rossami (talk) 05:59, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

delete, vanity Wikipedian231 13:28, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:19, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
keep, amazon.co.jp has 63 music items, 56 books, 34 videos, and 17 DVDs under his name. [3] Kappa 00:56, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep Notable Japanese artist. Let's as someone from JP wiki to help on this. Klonimus 02:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep. Allmusic.com listing, but no written entry. Article does not establish notability, but it seems perhaps there is some. Gamaliel 02:19, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep: Notable - the article just needs to be expanded. --Fuzzball! 03:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, such extensive Amazon listing shows sufficient notability. Mgm|^(talk) 08:04, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Very well-known Japanese artist. Allmusic is notoriously bad about its coverage of foreign artists, and its lack of a written entry is unsurprising. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 10:38, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FulDC

Delete. This article copies http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ directly; while it might not be a copyright violation, it is practically a marketing page. Matthew Plough 08:06, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Fixed. The particular text has been replaced by a short description, not copied from anywhere. If anything should be removed now, it's the oDC page, as the client is too frikkin old and the article doesn't contain any useful info at all. Walter Doekes 14:21, 17 Feb 2005 (CET)
Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:20, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Comment: How long has the software been around for and approximately how many people use it? --Fuzzball! 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Since its sourceforge project [4] wasn't updated since 2002, I believe this project was abandoned. Delete. Radiant_* 10:48, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The page you link to is the DC++ project page, not fulDC. Also, where are you getting the 2002 date from? --TheParanoidOne 21:18, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge into DCPlusPlus, fulDC is the most known and most used mod of DC++. bbx 16:20, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Agreed merge has been done, this page can be deleted safely. Sedulus 21:14, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
- If you actually used content in your merge, the correct resolution is redirect in order to preserve the attribution history, a requirement of GFDL. Rossami (talk) 06:00, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Well yes, I used content, but _I_ wrote that content on this page earlier (see Walter Doekes 14:21, 17 Feb 2005 (CET)). But sure, I can live with a redirect just fine. Sedulus 14:06, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

[edit] Big five record labels

A list of five big record labels, unencyclopedic.--nixie 00:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

And an incorrect one at that, as there's only the Big Four now. Delete. Davelong 00:36, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Incorrect, and redundant with the Big Four article. Dave the Red 03:28, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Delete inaccurate. —Sesel wa 04:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 06:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete not encyclodpedic, unlikely to be expanded. Dsmdgold 14:58, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Big Four. Alba 23:34, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete Big Four would be unencyclopedic and record labels wouldn't be the main definition. List of record labels already has all of the information in this page Mozzerati 07:04, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)

[edit] Squillion

Without the word history, which looks suspiciously bogus, this article shrinks down to a dicdef. -- Dcfleck 00:47, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Delete I agree, it looks like it belongs in the Wiktionary. --Fuzzball! 03:25, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, neologism. Dave the Red 03:27, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to zillion. Dave the Red (talk) 02:32, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

*Delete as neologism. I really had to do a double-take since that word almost looks like my last name! - Lucky 6.9 04:47, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Guess this is real after all. Merge/redirect. - Lucky 6.9 07:51, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect this and all other (*insert any consonant*)illion words to Zillion. Sjakkalle 06:52, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect per Sjakalle. Radiant _* 07:13, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect. Its not a neologism though as it is in widespread use in the UK, particularly amoungst children, as meaning a very very large number. It also gets 13,500 hits on google and has a Wiktionary entry. Thryduulf 10:26, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- additionally merge the other articles in category:Indefinite large numbers into one article. Thryduulf 23:41, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment - We already have Gazillion, Bajillion and Jillion as articles, all of which are rarer in the UK than Squillion (and Bajillion is pretty rare anyway), so if this were to be merged, so should all those other similar terms. If not merged, clean up thoroughly (and in particular, lose the awful example. If you want an example, find a quote from someone in a newspaper). Average Earthman 12:40, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Good idea, merge the lot of them. I'll put it on my to-do list if there are no objections. Radiant_* 08:10, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  - I'd put a note on the various talk pages just to see if anyone who is watching them objects, but I'm all for it. Thryduulf 11:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment - agree with Average Earthman. If rare similar terms like Jillion and Gazillion have articles, the relatively commonly-used term Squillion should have one. This should either be a merge/redirect or a Transwiki to Wiktionary rather than an outright delete. Grutness|^hello? 23:02, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- note that wiktionary already has an entry for squillion. Thryduulf 23:41, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
All -illions now merged to Zillion, Squillion should simply redirect there as there's nothing new in that article. Radiant _* 18:08, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect. Agree with Radiant. Robinoke 15:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pray for the Soul of Betty

This reads like a promotional flyer for the band. If they are notable enough to be included, this needs to be completely rewritten. -- Dcfleck 00:51, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Delete. The band's sole claim to notability is that former member Constantine Maroulis is now an American Idol contestant. I'd say merge, but this is nothing but promo crap. Gamaliel 02:10, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. If someone can NPOV the entire thing however, and make it factual, and since Wikipedia isn't paper, I'll change my vote. -- Natalinasmpf 02:14, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete non-notable. —Sesel wa 04:32, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable. I'd even vote to delete Constantine, but I know that won't pass. Rick K 20:22, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Delete I would normally vote to keep articles but, this one is so poorly written, and should start over.
- (Previous comment added by BrenDJ. -- Dcfleck 00:27, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC))
Merge and redirect onto the Constantine page. It is notable in his sense but not for the group as a whole. Some rewritting would be necessary too.
- (Previous comment added by 192.139.245.254. -- Dcfleck 00:25, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC))
Delete (and don't merge) - there is nothing worth merging into the Constantine page. "Betty" gets mentioned there and that's enough. This article is stunningly poor. Rossrs 04:03, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep and rewrite. It does sound like an ad. Robinoke 15:30, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No links, no Google hits, no indication this is anything other than one person's imagination. -- Dcfleck 02:19, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Delete unless documentation is supplied. Dsmdgold 02:36, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Delete I agree with Dsmdgold. --Fuzzball! 03:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete nonsense. —Sesel wa 04:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I get 15,800 Google hits if I search for "Whitey Bulger", so the killer himself is probably notable. But I have a distinct feeling that the term "AmericanSyko" is totally unrelated, especially if I take a look at clusty's hits. Delete. Mgm|^(talk) 08:10, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maps from 1700s A.D.

Delete. Not an article, and never will be. This was created as just a place to display images that couldn't be fitted into Liancourt Rocks. Of course deleting this page does not mean deleting the images, so they can be added to any relevant articles. Mark ¹ 03:23, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

      - Okay, I overlooked that. I can provide reasons why the film is notable, however, and I'll add them to the article once I've finished outlining them here. The first one that comes to mind is that the project is made completely by a group of non-professional teenagers aiming to produce a professional-level film. This is not "normal" either for independent films or Hollywood films. Second, the film is being shot entirely with entry-level consumer DV cameras, in order to demonstrate the potential of the format for films. While more common in independent filmmaking than in Hollywood, this practice is still notable due to considerable prejudice against using the DV format. Third, the film is being shot for sale with an extremely low to non-existant budget--also not a common practice in independent films, and certainly highly unusal in film as a whole. I could continue the list, but I hope this will be sufficient to establish the uniqueness of the project. OutcastJiob
        
        It sounds like it's all about the technology. But you're not making any technology breakthroughs yourself, you're just using off-the-shelf equipment. How notable can it be that someone unable to raise enough money for normal equipment would try to use cheap equipment? I don't see how a low budget makes a film project notable prior to release. The fact that Easy Rider or The Blair Witch Project was made on the cheap is notable only because those movies were big commercial box-office successes. I'm baffled by your "objective of proving that this eqipment [sic] can provide a quality film." If a 16mm blowup like Leaving Las Vegas can be a commercial success, I don't think there's much left to prove. All you need is a really good cinematographer. And really good lab work. But the big challenge is to get commercial-quality entertainment out of your "purely amatuer [sic] actors." Enjoy your premiere and the local press coverage I'm sure you'll get... Dpbsmith (talk) 20:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        
        Apologies for the spelling errors, I will go fix them. Your criticism of the film "project" due it using off-the-shelf equipment and low-budget is uninformed at best. That is the entire point of the technical side of the production: that professional-quality films can be made with consumer equipment. You've missed the entire point. The "breakthrough" is that there is no breakthrough with the equipment. The low budget does not make the film notable; rather, the low budget coupled with the high standard for quality and the objective of a commercial release makes the film notable. Additionally, comparing 16mm to DV demonstrates a fundamental ignorance about film in general and the merits of the various formats in particular. While not as desirable as 32mm, 16mm is generally accepted as a quality film format, unlike consumer DV. To say that a terrible film can be shot on 16mm and still be a success proves nothing, as we all know that terrible films are produced on 32mm by Hollywood and still have great popularity at the box office for unknown reasons. Your argument about only needing a really good cinematographer (I assume you mean director of photography) is also invalid--if DV is truly a useless format, cinematography will not save the film.OutcastJiob
I've seen hundreds of student film projects with no budgets that set out to prove the abilities of entry-level consumer cameras. I can't see how that makes this project unique. Also, about Episode III: this page is allowed to exist because it has already got significant press attention and it's part of a very famous film series. 131.211.210.12 07:44, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC) (Actually User:MacGyverMagic while not logged in, I already voted above).
- True enough, but how many of those student films were made for sale? Regarding Episode 3, an unreleased film is an unreleased film--I agree that Episode 3 is special, but so is Trick'd Out. The popularity is nowhere near the same, of course, but just because it can't compete with one of the most anticipated films of the year doesn't make the project unimportant or non-notable.

Delete, the sooner the better. Vanity, self-promotion, not a crystal ball, non-notable, sockpuppetry, yada yada yada. And it's hard to take the promoter's gabble about technical issues seriously when he can't even get a standard film size correct (35mm, not 32mm) or doesn't seem to know the standard term "cinematographer". --Calton | Talk 00:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- O tempora, O mores. He probably does know how many pixels there in each video format. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Alright, I can have a laugh at myself, 32mm indeed, you'll have to excuse me, I was a bit tired at the time. That aside, all you experienced Wikipedians seem to have forgotten the rule about being polite and not calling people sock puppets unless you can prove it. Vanity is not valid, self-promotion is not valid (how on earth can it be self-promotion when there's no link to any associated website?), crystal ball is not valid (see above), non-notable is not valid (also see above), and sock puppetry is an unfounded and unproved insult. And 32mm was a result of exhaustion, not of an ignorance of film. Cinematographer is an extremely broad term. According to Wikipedia itself it means "A cinematographer (from 'cinema photographer') is one photographing with a motion picture camera. The title is generally equivalent to director of photography (DP or DoP), used to designate a chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film, responsible for achieving artistic and techical decisions related to the image." That, however, is not the only possible usage, as the term can mean anyone who operates a film camera. And obviously just having a good cameraman--or even a good DP--won't cut it if the format is useless, as I said above. OutcastJiob
  - You seem to have forgotten the high-school debate team principle that assertion is not argument: simply declaring something "invalid" doesn't it make it so. In any case:

Vanity is not valid, self-promotion is not valid: "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a chatroom, discussion forum, or vehicle for propaganda and advertising (emphasis mine). Therefore, Wikipedia articles are not:...Self-promotion. While you are free to write about yourself or projects you have a strong personal involvement in, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. Strike one.
"crystal ball is not valid": "Of course, we do and should have articles about notable (emphasis mine) artistic works, essays, or credible research that embody predictions." Strike two.
non-notable is not valid: Attempt to make film using cheap, off-the-shelf equipment? Done before, and -- I doubt I'm going out on a limb here -- done better. Strike three.
sock puppetry is an unfounded and unproved insult: using the same IP address to cast two different votes is prima facie evidence of sockpuppetry; duck, walk, quack, etc. Strike four. Whoops, you were out already.

Come back when you've got clippings from Variety, American Film, or The New York Times. Until then, your logic-chopping is irrelevant and my vote still stands.--Calton | Talk 04:43, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- No sock puppetry going on here...my little brother "Alex Hotshot" and I are on the same network so the router IP is the same. Also, Wiki's rules allow promotion that is unbiased, as this article is. While Wiki is not a crystal ball for indie filmmakers, apparently if you get enough press coverage, it is, as in the case of Episode III. It is notable as the field of amateur photgrahpy and filmography is an often overlooked topic that may interest many people and this article is an example of what amature filmmakers do.AFLancaster

- Comment: I'd be fine with redirecting to that article as an interim measure, but I think that the long period of this idea's popularity generated enough literature to justify a separate page. I also note that Nordic theory currently has very little indeed to say about the actual content, as opposed to history, of this theory - barely more, in fact, than the stub under discussion. Surely this needs to be rectified? - Mustafaa 07:35, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - I agree. We just need someone to do this who has read enough on the subject without having a racist POV. While searching, I realized that there is a bunch of Wikipedia articles on racism, eugenics and related topics (Racism, Racialism, Master race, Eugenics, Racial hygiene and probably several others) and the whole subject matter probably needs better organization, rewriting and merging of some articles and various redirects to avoid additional duplication of stuff.

- PS I'm not sure I understand the point of userfy-ing a vanity page if the author's sole contributions are to their own vanity page. If an established editor has a lapse in judgement and pulls a vanity, then userfying would make sense. But if someone comes here entirely and solely to promote themselves, I don't think userfying their vanity page is a good idea. At worst, it almost seems to encourage such vanity (Hey, guys, those wikipedia dudes deleted that page I made to promote my lawn-mowing business, but they just put it right back up again in another part of their site! Sweet!) and at best it just creates a page on Wikipedia that nobody, ever, will have reason to visit. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:46, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Maybe not in and of itself, but comparative linguistics is a pretty important branch of knowledge overall, so if it was linked from the proper articles or merged into Baltic Languages it would belong. A shorter title would be wise as well. Haikupoet 04:55, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comparative linguistics is an important branch of knowledge, but there's no comparative linguistics going on here.

[edit] JT's Stockroom

Keep -- this entry deserves to exist in the same way that it would be mentioned at a museum. i used encyclopedias as a kid in order to research topics, their history, etc... if you wanted to research the origins of the sex toy industry, and this couldn't exist on wikipedia, you'd have to take everyone's word for it based on what is on their commercial websites. isn't this supposed to be an unbiased source of that information? i think the entry should exist. i think that there is not enough information on here yet, but that's what's great about wikipedia. its entries can be improved with time. Sugarego (talk) 01:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Advertisement. May have a crumb of notability if claim to be "oldest sex toy company on Internet" is true/verifiable. But still an advertisement. Also has a redirect at JT's Stockroom. FreplySpang (talk) 05:35, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

(and now a redirect at Www.stockroom.com) And if anyone is nitpicking, my vote is ~~delete~~. FreplySpang (talk) 05:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) Changing to keep based on M.

Speedy delete as advert (no need for a VfD here). jdb ❋ (talk) 05:57, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, I wrote this page for my company along with another staff member, after noticing that pages already existed for many other companies, including eBay, Amazon.com, Greenery Press, Daedalus Publishing, Baskin-Robbins, Playboy, Hustler etc etc etc. So I thought websites about companies were OK. The statement about being the first sex toy company online (and also one of the oldest e-commerce companies of any kind) is true and verifiable. You can search on deja.com for the original company name, JT Toys, and you will find references dating to May of 1990. jt@stockroom.com
Advert is not cause for speedy. That said, I only get 5000 hits for "JT's stockroom", which is awfully low for an Internet sex-related company (compare with 158,000,000 for eBay or 315,000 for Baskin-Robbins). Delete unless notability is proven. Meelar (talk) 06:15, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Try "stockroom.com" -- 24,600 hits on Google.com. We have 180,000 clients, and about $5M in annual sales. jt@stockroom.com 06:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Advertisement. No notable third party sources. And I also personally find it very inappropriate for a company to write its own article about themselves in an encyclopedia. Zzyzx11 06:42, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete as ad and/or vanity. Radiant _* 07:15, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
We are a 15-year old internet company. We're well-known and highly regarded within the alternative-sexuality communities we serve, and have aspired to a high ethical standard for as long as we've been in business. As a result, I've become accustomed to a warm reception 99% of the time when we reach out on the net. In this case, I simply assumed that since there were so many entries for companies of all kinds (including adult ones) that starting an entry wouldn't be a problem. Others would be free to edit or add to it. But it seems people object to having an entry for my company, and we don't really want to be where we are apparently not welcome. So I'll offer no further comments or argument. jt@stockroom.com 10:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Let me assure you that it's nothing personal, and we don't mean to be hostile. It's just that we deal with dozens of deletion requests per day, so we tend to be a little short-spoken about them. It happens quite often that people create pages about their own websites or small companies, in order to promote them or simply to have a page here. I'm not saying that you did just that, but it is generally assumed that if you (or your company) are famous, someone else will write an article about you. Hope that helps. Radiant _* 10:45, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. This is a reputable company and they were pioneers in the early days of online commerce. I found them online in the early 90s and still have one of the very first catalogs. It was sent to me via email after I found them in different bulletin boards I visited. The Stockroom has always been a good source of quality toys. I think they should stay.Trab 8:57am, 5 Apr 2005 (CST)
- The above is User:Trab's sole edit. --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 16:26, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
KEEP: The Stockroom really is the oldest adult toy company online (started back in the time when .gov and .edu were the only networks). I think this gives it historical value and a reason to be listed on Wikipedia. As far as BDSM, Fetish, and the history of Sex Toys and the Internet go, the site would be incomplete without at least making reference to this trailblazing company. - Juli Crockett, 9:16am 5 Apr 2005
Provisional Keep If this information is verified, then this is notable sex toy company and thus encyclopedic. Klonimus 16:47, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
KEEP: The Stockroom is a fixture within the BDSM community, and has been since the beginning of the internet. They help BDSM/fetish/kink groups in countless ways, and have been a pillar of the community. They strive to educate people, and present a beautiful aesthetic which you don't see on the newer "sex toy" sites. They seem to work hard to be more than just a company selling the best BDSM products, they care very much about the community they serve. - JH 9:46AM 5 Apr 2005

Keep. Being the oldest adult toy company online makes them notable in my book. My keep vote is provisional upon evidence that they really are the first. Dave the Red (talk) 18:15, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Evidence: If you go to Google's "Groups" and search "JT Toys" there are postings that date back to 1990 from alt.sex.bondage and other usenet groups talking about JT's e-catalog. Try this link: http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?hl=en&q=JT+Toys&qt_s=Search+Groups - Juli Crockett

Delete advertising, as illustrated by the sockpuppet defenders.. CDC (talk) 04:27, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep and I'll add that it needs additional writing or a re-write so the copy feels less self-congratulatory. Yes, this is my first Wiki Edit. I was also contacted by a friend telling me the Stockroom was up for deletion and I disagree with that choice so I've decided to comment. I use Wiki daily but haven't feelt comfortable editing - it's clearly not my forte. BUT! It's true that the Stockroom was a pioneer in selling sex toys online and most importantly, they made readily available BDSM basic supplies early in the game. While many of you may not be familiar with the BDSM world and how the internet has greatly changed the way we traffic in this business, I am quite familiar. I can say, although not encyclopedically, that The Stockroom has had a major effect on bringing BDSM into the glowy light of our computer monitors and basically out of the dungeon. Sex and the internet are tied to one another and it's quickly becoming true that BDSM and the internet are nearly inseparable - certainly if you're working as a professional Dominatrix, as I am. JTs is rather crucial to the BDSM industry and with their attractive catalogues, website, and ability to create catalogues for both men and women, they have really cleaned up the image of BDSM and made it more accessible and a lot safer for those looking to experiment. The impact that JTs and its imitators has on Joe Blow From Idaho is astounding - the dark and mysterious objects fantasized about secretly now have pictures, descriptions, improvements, and are at the fingertips and available for experimentation from the comfort of the home. I think that's important. Just like books and DVDs - or Cloisonne Boxes on Ebay - I believe the effect is there. The tools of the trade were exceptionally hard to come by in the 80s and earlier and there was very little variation - by opening the online doors for BDSM and sex toy sales it really brought the business up several notches as well as private interaction. It's hard to put this in terms I feel are best for shorthand and Wikipedia, so I'll stop. In my experience the impact has been felt in a prfound and positive way and if you have questions I'll be happy to try to answer those specifically. (I've 12 years in the business and 6 more privately before that time). I do think the entry needs re-working but not a full deletion. M. Violet 05:25, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The above is this User's only edits. RickK 05:29, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  - Which I stated in my long winded commentary already. Yes, it is my first/only edit. M. Violet 05:34, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep For the reasons given above by Mviolet. Notable, in its context. Article needs serious editing for NPOV, though. Perhaps some of Mviolet's comments could be adapted into an NPOV part of the article? -- Karada 16:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I've been asked to write some on the article. I'll try - or at least add some of my text, but I do hope someone comes in and adapts the comments/edits. Anyone is welcome to use my above words/commentary for that purpose. M. Violet 18:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This company's alexa rank is currently running in the 40,000s. Looking at the history, alexa rank has been highly variable but never better than 20,000. $5 M revenues makes this a pretty small company. While there are no hard and fast rules for companies, these are smaller than we generally keep. I'm a bit skeptical of the claim that they were first to sell to this niche via Internet and changed the industry. There were anonymous mail order companies before. Finally, the fact that the article was started by the founder counts against it. I believe the logic behind no autobiographies applies here as well. I have to vote delete for now but I'll look at the article again toward the end of the discussion period to see if Mviolet's edits can change my mind. Rossami (talk) 22:08, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
delete. Don't you remember the no original research thingy? Is this company covered in authoritative publications? If Violet Dominatrix provides sources, other than online sexychats, the article is welcome. Otherwise whip it and slash it and tear apart. Mikkalai 02:48, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- While your sarcasm is irritating & smacks of what is distasteful about online "community", I agree that I don't have verifiable sources for their affect on the industry other than experience & observation. Reading the No original research article, we're back to square one of their being original sellers of sextoys online (provable) & the rest is experienced opinion. Which is all I'm offering - another side to this reactionary delete-fest. I'm just here to give perspective on a company & industry I'm familiar with and others are not. M. Violet 23:35, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - "Experienced opinion" is exactly is out of place according to the policy in question. As for sarcasm, didn't I say "welcome"? It means that I have nothing against the topic itself, nor against the contributor. You are a wee too touchy for a dominatrix. Mikkalai 06:23, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    - read my comment again with reading comprehension in mind. I was agreeing with you - in light of the article you pointed out, all I offer is opinion. As for the rest, put it in my talk page if you want to bait me. 04:20, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

But also in the english speaking countries people have made their own synthesis between neo-druidry and wicca and this is called druicca. There is no athority who can say who is druicca or not, everony who had made his/here own synthesis between druidry and wicca can call him/here self a druicca. No need to be initiated by a coven or whatever. An example of someone with here own synthesis of druidry and wicca is Laurie Cabot (lauriecabot.com), she calls this celtic wicca, I would call it druicca.

Delete. Articles on a particular coven are no more notable than articles on a particular church (unless it's a particularly large or historically notable church). Articles on somebody's personal idea of how to synthesize druidic and wiccan ideas are also not notable. Rick K 20:37, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
I think I agree with the redirect to Neo-Druidism. An entry can be made there, and if it becomes more notable and a larger article, it can be moved out into its own page at a later time. --Fuzzball! (talk) 01:46, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- I object to redirecting neologisms anywhere. Rick K 04:27, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Dont Delete Druicca is just another term for celtic wicca, celtic wicca is an inacurate term for the synthesis of druidism and wicca, druicca is better. Druicca is not just one group in the Netherlands, its larger and known as celtic wicca. But I thought Druicca was a better name (celtic wicca ? http://cyberpict.net/tns/ntwcc.htm). It would be better to delete Celtic Wicca or redirect it to Druicca, and move the content of Celtic Wicca to the Druicca subject. MoonCrow.
- Such an action would probably result in your being blocked from editing for vandalism. You can't move real subjects to titles that you just made up. RickK 23:48, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  - I'm only suggesting, I'm not moving things (don't plan to also). It also could be the other way around, if you want to redirect Druicca, redirect it to Celtic Wicca; Druicca is a contraction of Druidism and Wicca. MoonCrow
    - What part of "we don't take made up words" do you not understand? RickK 04:15, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
      - Eh, what isn't made up? Gerald Gardner 'made up' wicca, someone 'made up' celtic wicca, of which serious students of the celtic culture say it is nonsence, it doesn't excist, just because you put celtic before wicca doesn't make it celtic. There is no celtic wicca, it is wicca with celtic elements, not celtic wicca. Most of the wicca traditions were 'made up' still I find a lot on wikipedia about these. I have not made up a tradition, I only thought of a better name for it, since there is no 'celtic wicca' because it is a synthesis between wicca and celtic ideas, a better name for this would be Druicca. It is a better 'made up' name for an excisting tradition. I don't understand why this is such a problem. I'm oke with the remarks above that it is to small to be noted as a separed subject. I'm asking all the people above who want to delete or redirect it, if it is oke with them to redirect the druicca subject to the celtic wicca subject, and if it is oke if I put a footnote under the page about my objections to the name 'celtic wicca' and my suggestion to rename it to 'druicca', that there are people in the Netherlands who already did that and why. If most people don't agree with me I realy won't push it, I thought this page was ment to discuss this subject? If most people want to delete the druicca subject, it will be so, if most people want to redirect it to celtic wicca, it wil be so, if most people want me to shut up about druicca on wikipedia, it will be so (just tell me), if most people think it's oke for me to put a footnote on the celtic wicca page, I will do so. I was just excited that I thought of a new name, I realy like the name, it has a nice sound to it. I also understand the value of people who guard the integrity of wikipedia, you have valid arguments, I give you mine arguments, you decide. It is up to you all. MoonCrow
gwannlath, DHYDHDHYRR, DELETE!!!. Mikkalai 02:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I found another 'made up' word about exactly the same subject on wikipedia: Druidcraft. I also improved the druicca article a bit if that is still oke? MoonCrow
- Druidcraft gets 623 unique Google hits, and is even used in the title of at least one book. Druïcca gets 13, including this page and the article that we're trying to delete. RickK 23:34, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  - Yeh that's right, Druicca is not that well know jet, to small for a page of it's own, I agree with that. Google: with Druïcca 13 unice hits, with Druicca you'll get a little bit more. But is the Druicca page still the vanity page you want to delete or is it a marginal subject that maybe could be redirected (maybe to Celtic Wicca)? Some of the Google hits for Druidcraft are for the Druidcraft Tarot, with is in Dutch translated as the Tarot of the Druids, a wrong translation, they thought Druidcraft means the Craft of the Druids. But it stands for the synthesis between Druidry and Witchcraft. I feel very strongly that Druicca is a better name for this. But maybe it's not the time to plublish this on wikipedia yet and should I first publish something in the Touchstone magazine of OBOD and write that book that I wanted to write for so long. MoonCrow, Apr 9, 2005

Delete. This article looks more like an invitation to convert to Druicca. It seems like a promotion to me. --Randolph 18:37, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Ofcourse I write positive about druicca, but there is no organisation you can join. Wicca, Druicca and Druidry don't look for people to convert; like they say in Hindoeism: all traditions are different like different rivers, but they al go to the ocean. Druicca is also much inspired on nature: the more varation there is (in nature, in traditions), the better. MoonCrow, april 12, 2005

[edit] Five planned towers

Liberman Broadcasting Tower
Central Missouri State University Tower
Vertical Properties Tower
American Media Tower Agate
Perry Broadcasting Tower Alfalfa

All these were proposed by User:DaveTheRed with the reasoning: "A planned tower. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball". This is a consolidation of all these into one entry. Sjakkalle 07:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My vote is an agreement with Dave the Red on all of these. ~~Delete all~~ Delete all except Central Missouri State University which can remain a redirect per dpbsmith's comment. ~~Sjakkalle 07:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)~~ Sjakkalle 06:11, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment The Central Missouri tower was, in fact, built and is in operation. I've made it into a redirect to Central Missouri State University#KMOS-TV, which mentions the tower. Methinks whoever created the article wasn't being very punctilious about fact-checking. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete all but Central Missouri State University Tower for Sjakkalle's reasons. If any of the others exist they should be converted into redirects to appropriate articles and given brief mention there. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete Normally I would say merge into another document but I'm not sure what document these would go to... --Fuzzball! (talk) 01:48, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
No crystal ball is being used here. We talk about possible future events all the time ... we write about the next month's UK general election, the Beijing Olympics, even the Freedom Tower :). So the nomination is really about importance, and as usual whilst planned radio masts are unimportant to most of us, I can imagine quite a few people care about them. Merge into List of planned radio masts anyone? Pcb21| Pete 07:50, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The UK general election and the Bejing Olympics are specific events that will happen on a specific schedule in the future. These towers are towers that are planned for construction at some nebulous point in the future. The freedom tower is a better analogy, but in that case, it has been covered extensively in the media to the point that is encyclopedically notable. I would argue that the freedom tower is the exception to the rule. Meanwhile, these towers are not yet built, and therefore violate the rule that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Dave the Red (talk) 02:27, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

This is a dictionary definition, and I don't see how it can be expanded to be more than this. Thryduulf 10:19, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Not only is the nomination not political, I honestly don't understand how it could be. I landed on this page after following the random page link, saw it was nothing more than a dictionary definition. Following a quick google search nothing suggested to me any potential to expand it into an encyclopædia article and so I nominated it for deletion. I haven't read any of the other legal definition articles so I can't comment on them. Thryduulf 11:24, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Ballad of Mulan

Public domain Chinese poem has been moved to Wikisource. The rest is an English translation traced to a 1976 book. It may be PD or not - it's all over the web - but is otherwise a copyvio. Most of what else can be said about the poem is already at Hua Mulan --Diderot 11:25, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment Okay, I can redirect it to Hua Mulan easily enough. My original intent was to do that after deletion in order to get rid of the copyvio part, which in this case comes to half of the content. Does the uncertain copyright status of the English translation merit a revision to the history, or is it just not big enough a deal? It is all over the web, so there is no one likely to sue anybody, but it is also unlikely to be public domain. If it's not a big deal that it's in the history, then this can be taken as a withdrawl from VfD. --Diderot 10:06, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, it is important to get the copyvio out of history if at all possible. But that should be resolved through WP:CP, not VfD. Rossami (talk) 22:15, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Soviet Canuckistan

I actually kind of like this page (especially the flag), but I just can't make the case for keeping it. Too obscure. -Litefantastic 14:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. This is a bizarre nomination. The nominator admits to using Wikipedia to propagate amerime, a term s/he claims to have coined to describe anime created in the United States. That article appears to have been speedy deleted after the article was re-created following a successful VfD. Now Litefantastic comes here to nominate for deletion a term coined by a well-known American broadcaster and former candidate for the presidency of the US on US television, and says that the term is "too obscure". Surely Pat Buchanan is not more obscure than Litefantastic, whoever he/she/it may be! The term itself received considerable attention in Canada, and was embraced by many here.

[edit] Wikipedia:Links to disambiguating pages

This collection of pages appears to be redundant with Category:Disambiguation. It seems pointless to have to maintain this index manually when the category does it automatically.

Of course, database queries that rely on these pages will have to be changed. -- Smjg 15:08, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The linkd to disambiguation pages no longer serve a purpose, as far as I can tell. The manual function of linking to disambig pages has been replaced by the automatic function of categorization. Kevyn 15:42, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I thought that the page's purpose was to prevent disambiguation pages to show up as orphaned pages. -Hapsiainen 16:07, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Strong keep. The first line says "the following pages are disambiguation pages linked here in order to avoid being shown in the list of orphaned articles." That is reason enough to keep. -- RHaworth 16:24, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Not to me. To me, it's a reason that the list of orphaned articles is one of the queries that'll have to be changed. -- Smjg 17:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Category:Disambiguation mentions it explicitly: "Links to disambiguating pages - manually maintained lists which "knowingly" point to disambiguation pages to prevent them becoming "orphans"." I read this as saying there are some special cases of disambig pages that need a different mechanism than the category, and that it is not necessary for every disambig page to be listed on the manual list. FreplySpang (talk) 17:26, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I agree with points made by FreplySpang and RHaworth. Mgm|^(talk) 20:22, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Maybe there's a better idea. Replace with automated list. AIUI the very existence of a manual list is a legacy from before the category came along. And FreplySpang, the only two kinds of disambiguation pages are those with "(disambiguation)" in the title and those without. -- Smjg 09:14, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  - As stated see Duke Nukem Forever. I find it very hypocritical that many of you voted based on it being unreleased when countless television shows, films, books etc that haven't been released have their own article (ex. Inglorious Bastards, which doesn't even have a finished script! See also 2006 in film). STALKER is a very notable game with over 200K listings on Google including tons of previews, fan websites etc etc etc. The article merely needs a cleanup and expansion.

- See for yourself what you've removed. And there is no "or else" here, as explained by others. If the process of development of a new thing is notable, then it makes an article.

The 43k rank is a 3 month-average spot ranking and is comparatively poor as websites go. By the way, their average rank measured just over the past week is 85,057.

Keep The Shroomery is a unique website with over 31,000 registered users. It definitely is a source of knowledge, and like Erowid and other sites, should be mentioned here on Wikipedia. It is primarily about mushrooms, and even though hard drugs like heroin and such are discussed for the sake of information, isn't it the same with Wikipedia? Wikipedia has entire articles on drugs ranging from the harmless like cannabis to the harmful like tobacco and heroin. Don't limit the exchange of information. -Ravus

Weak keep. I've heard of it before, and the website is apparently common knowledge among druggies. Not exactly on par with the cultural relevance of Erowid, of which one of the primary purposes of the site is to explore the effect of various drugs on consciousness. This seems to be almost entirely an informational resource, which is fine, but not necessarily wiki-worthy. However, the significance of the site in the drug-using community, it's uniqueness, and its overall popularity make it a keep.

Heartwarming story, but this person gets only 19 Google hits, and the article reads like a promo, possible a copyvio (although nothing turns up on the internet).

Delete - promo. Fuzheado | Talk 20:52, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Is this only an encyclopedia for famous people? Or do the "unsung" heros of local communities have a place as well? It seems to me if this is to establish an internet community based encyclopedia, it needs to include information regarding people who are not yet well known, but still play a significant role in the grass roots development of our society. The organizations this man has established have already begun to make very significant impacts in Portland, Oregon. He has a substantial congregation, and is known by virtually every significant political leader in the city of Portland and the general state of Oregon. Perhaps the article needs to be re-worded in effor to not sound so much like a personal promo? (unsigned vandalism by user 64.122.245.169, moved here)--InShaneee 20:54, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The question, "Is this only an encyclopedia for famous people?" rather captures the point. This is an encyclopedia, not a directory, so indeed the "unsung" heroes get left out (at least until they get "sung"). However, if this pastor's prominence continues to grow (as the trajectory outlined in the article suggests), then he may certainly cross the bar of notability in the future. It would help if the article was not written in such a promotional tone. Frankly, most biographical articles about contemporary figures contain both the laudatory accomplishments of their subjects, and criticism of the same. -- 8^D ^gab 21:27, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Rewrite about the Finnish band Yö, which is far more notable than this Brazilian thingy. Don't delete. (Comment: Someone blanked the page after Hapsiainen VfD'd it. I've restored it.) — JIP | Talk 07:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable, band vanity. Megan1967 09:46, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
delete before the proposed rewrite (you should start at Yö (Finnish Band) then move to Yö once/if this VFD passes. It's premature to delete the information now and it's better not to keep irrelevant history information later.
- I agree, but I also want to add that if the VfD does not pass, then this article we're voting on should be renamed to Yö (Brazilian band) with Yö turned into a disambig page, as the Finnish band is more notable than the Brazilian one, and having the Brazilian band as the "main" article would be stupid. — JIP | Talk 12:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clout

probably a speedy candidate, but... (also created 3 times today). – AB CD 21:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've tagged it as speedy three times; the first couple of times it was created by an anon. The third time the creator had opened an account of the same name, and I moved the page to User:Clout; unfortunately, the VfD appeared while I was doing it. If Clout (talk · contributions) recreates the article, then it could be VfDed again (though I do think that it's a speedy candidate), but could this VfD be lifted now that it's a User page? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- It is a speedy candidate if it is recreated, since recreations of items that were VfD'ed can be speedied if deem fit to warrant it. Zscout370 00:27, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

i am sorry if this is prying, but I ask that you allow the definition to be left up for 48 hours until I can put up a proper link which decribes Clout more. thank you for your time

Delete. It has been created four times, after two speedy deletions and one move to the creator's User page. It contains nothing that suggests that it's genuine, and the author (or authors) has had ammple time to produce something worthwhile. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

it is genuine in the way that it is a real religion, other religions are allowed to be defined on this site, so i ask that clout is also given that right

Delete. I tagged it as a speedy a couple of times, too, as nonsense. The author is removing the tags, or else recreating it, and has also vandalized a few other articles related to religion. --BM 17:22, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've now deleted it a number of times (and its creator has vandalised my user page three times, and sent me abusive e-mails). The creator also vandalised other Wikipedia pages, and created another spoof article a cuple of times. He's now been banned for twenty-four hours, though he has at least two other accounts, so I'm not sure that that's a solution. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:28, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure that this person is only one person? mabey this is really a real religion and its followers have now chosen the time to speak out

[edit] How to wash your car

An article of the kind many Wikipedians call "How-to"s. Georgia guy 22:20, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
So what gives you the right to delete it? I call it a how-to article, or if not right now then one day it will be! Wikipedia needs time in order to grow. It can't just be complete all in one try. oppose Jaberwocky6669 22:25, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Oh well, I guess this means that my page is gone. I exercise my restraint in order to avoid calling people bad names! lol Jaberwocky6669 22:58, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
~~Delete~~Transwiki to wikibooks, Wikipedia is not a place for how-to's.-gadfium 22:31, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep well-written and well intentioned. Could probably use some cleanup so that it reads less like a magazine article, and maybe a rename (perhaps into "Car-washing techniques"), but the topic deserves an article. If it absolutely cannot be kept, then at least transwiki it somewhere. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:07, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Someone wanted to move it to wikisource! They thought it was copied from somewhere, but it is originial. Jaberwocky6669 23:14, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rename as per Starblind. This information does not appear to fit into car wash very well. --Allen3 ^talk 23:21, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
transwiki to someplace that takes howtos like this would be good, if they want it. Though you'll have to extend the text and explain all the tiny little details of how to wash wheels and so, and compare makes of soap etc etc. (not to mention waxes :-P ). Doesn't need to be done right away, but it does need doing then. Nicely written articles like this that don't quite fit encyclopedic criteria might be userfied too, and we could do so if Jaberwocky6669 requests it. Kim Bruning 23:26, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I was in the process of fleshing out all of the smaller details until I saw that the article was opposed in its present state. Sorry, for all of the comments but this is my first dose of wikireality! Jaberwocky6669 23:29, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wikibooks. Rick K 23:32, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Rename, but Keep - preferably as car washing... expand beyond techniques and discuss reasons for doing it, practical uses as a fundraising device for college clubs, depictions in popular culture (e.g. the famous car washing scene in Cool Hand Luke). -- 8^D ^gab 23:37, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
- Comment. This article already exists at Car Wash. "Car washing" is inappropriate because articles on nouns are preferred over verbs in an encyclopedia.Halidecyphon 07:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Provisional Keep If converted to an enecyclopedic article about car washing, and car washes. Klonimus 00:35, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Provisional Keep If it was re-written and more substance added, it could be a useful addition. As it stands, it's far too light-weight, quite parocial (clearly written with a N American audience in mind, references to warm weather but not cold) with dubious assertions like: " It is known that in a busy parking lot a dirty grungy car will accumulate more knicks and scrapes than a clean car." Well known? says who? Markb
- Comment. This article already exists at Car Wash.Halidecyphon 07:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Is it possible for an article of this sort to be NPOV? Certainly an article about car-washing techniques, or even about a particular car-washing technique, could be written neutrally, but it seems to me that an article that instructs the reader to do something necessarily advocates that that thing be done. Shimmin 00:23, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
COmment I have begun to work on the article, in my Laboratory, according to the ideas that I have seen here. Jaberwocky6669 03:34, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Jaberwocky, this article already exists as Car Wash, but could definatly use your improvements. Add the stuff from your "lab," but DO NOT turn it into a "How-to" please. If you want to write a how-to, write it for wikibooks.Halidecyphon 07:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep for reasons stated. I was the one who originally posted the Wikisource notice which seems to have started a misunderstanding, now straightened out. If Jabberwocky is ready and willing to wax this with the "Carnauba of NPOV," I'm for letting it stay. Remember the one about dishwashing a few months ago? That turned out pretty good after the how-to was excised and some history added. - Lucky 6.9 04:04, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge any non-"how to" information to Car Wash, and transwiki if desired. Halidecyphon 07:51, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Transwiki the how-to, any factual info that isn't in Car wash should be merged. Average Earthman 09:54, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Or redirect and merge with Car wash. Style is too breezy and informal. Content weak and could use work. As nearly as I can determine, the frequently cited statement that how-to's do not belong in Wikipedia is a legend. Note that the page How-to practically encourages their creation and notes that they supposed to be "informal." On the evidence of How-to, how-to's are valid topics for Wikipedia. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, according to Talk:How-to, a lot of the content there and the how-tos in Wikipedia predated the creation of Wikibooks, and many of the authors who had been writing how-tos in Wikipedia (such as theresa knott) decided around December 2003 to start moving instruction manuals over to Wikibooks, which has been happening since.

Comment. This bears a very strong resemblance to a chapter in "How to care for your collector car," published by Motorbooks. Seems to paraphrase the book. Agwiii 20:34, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
- It was not paraphrased either... Look, you can go and reword anything you like. You can NPOV it. You don't need my or any one's permission to do that! Jaberwocky6669 22:02, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
It's a good article, but I don't think it fits in here. Either Create a WikiHow-To (alternatively, WikiDIY) or Delete but then feel bad about it for a while. --Asriel86 23:37, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Why don't we just keep it how it is. I have changed the article drastically in order to be more encyclopedic. Jaberwocky6669 01:19, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
I've just transwikied Constructing school science lab equipment to the Wikibooks:How-tos bookshelf. I'd be happy to transwiki this. It's not an encyclopaedia article about car washing. It's an instruction manual, addressing the reader in the second person. Wikibooks and Delete. (And remember that there's nothing stopping an encyclopaedia article on car washing, when written as per BD2412 and Klonimus, from interwiki linking to the book on Wikibooks, just as beekeeping interwiki links to Wikibooks:beekeeping. Build the web.) Uncle G 18:28, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
Transwiki. There is a clear policy on this. remember to fix the interwiki links in doing so... -- Egil 04:52, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep: Rename, make "original" reserach less original by citing one of millions of places that talks about these issues... maybe even check out "Idiot's guide to carwashing" and use it as a source. You know... for credibility's sake. gren 19:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
