[edit] Mater Private Hospital

  • Delete, unless this hospital is notable in some way. Right now, it's just a phonebook entry. --Howcheng 00:00, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Revised: Keep. Did not know that it was featured on money (it's certainly not mentioned in the article itself). --Howcheng 15:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, any hospital which provides "Cardiac Surgery, Dermatology, Dietetics, Gynaecology, Sleep Laboratory, Opthamology, Intensive Care Medicine and Neurosurgery" is notable. Kappa 00:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of famous pneumonia suffers

Misspelled title, irrelevant, and unencyclopedic. I'm sure you could make a "list of famous people who were hit by elephants", or "list of people with two eyes", or "list of people who died from cancer" Frenchman113 00:26, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Featured article star This article is the current Medicine Collaboration of the Week
    • See Talk:Pneumonia for the active discussion on spliting the list from the original article and discussing the point raised above, namely that it is a bit lame to list all recorded cases, but rather perhaps limit to just notable historical or reported cases.
    • Please let the group continue its discussion over this (the same will apply to other conditions we edit in the future)...
    • I agree mispelt, but I can't move it now has a VfD tag.
David Ruben 00:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain / Comment. I moved the list from Pneumonia and take blame for the misspelling - should be "sufferers". Frankly, I don't like lists like this either and don't care what is done with it. The article was created to appease those who wanted to keep the list. Edwardian 01:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I have been bold and moved the article to List of notable people who suffer from pneumonia. The VFD link has been corrected to continue to link here. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 01:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • If people really care, Rename: Most of these people died from pneumonia. The list of famous people who actually suffered from it would be a lot larger, and obviously an impractical task. Maybe: List of famous pneumoenia related deaths would be better. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 01:52, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain. I don't really feel this belongs here, and that this article is in the same class as the recently VFD's List of notable people who have been stung by jellyfish. It's borderline nonsensical, and can be difficult to verify. However, if discussion is in place elsewhere, or an editor is desiring to be bold and merge/move it elsewhere, I don't want to slap a delete vote on it. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 01:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. FYI, team, googling for "famous "died of pneumonia"" [1] gives 18,000 entries. Even with duplicates... I mean, wow. Are you sure you want to go down that road? Sdedeo 03:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or at least limit to people who were known for their sickliness, or who died from the disease. Millions of people have had pneumonia, and overcome it. -- BD2412 talk 03:16, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Man, if only I were famous, so I could be on this list. I've even had it twice! Delete, listcruft. android79 03:24, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as it is part of the collaboration. Some of this information probably would belong in the larger Pneumonia article but was, in the minds of the collaborators on this project, large enough to merit its own space. Defer to them for now. ESkog 04:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Pneumonia was likely the most common cause of death before the advent of modern antibiotics - mind you, we've only had those since the 1940s when they first started mass producing penicillin. Therefore, it's highly likely that a high number of famous before this would have died of pneumonia. If we left this list, in a few months it'll have thousands of names. Alex.tan 04:45, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not everything notable people do or have if notable in itself. Only cases which have created lasting media exposure, e.g. as Kylie Minogue has done to breast cancer in Australia, would be notable, and I cannot see any examples in this llist. JFW | T@lk 20:08, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The new name makes no sense. List of notable people who suffer from pneumonia would imply that all of the people on the list would have to still be alive. Perhaps List of notable people who have suffered from pneumonia? Zoe 05:40, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Movēre(?) to a better title. --Merovingian (t) (c) 06:04, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for two reasons: 1) Defining 'famous' is inherently POV 2)It's a list article. Garbage articles don't get exceptions from the rules just because they're part of a wikiproject Cynical 09:57, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't care if it was split out from the pneumonia article, it should have just been removed from it. Although to answer cynical, afor the purposes of Wikipedia, if a person has an article, then they can be considered famous enough to be on that kind of list. But in this case, the list is lame and should die. Proto t c 11:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Who defines 'famous' ? And if we accept this, we'll have to put together lists for all the people who were killed by cancer, measles, lightning strike, or choking on candied frogs dipped in chocolate. Not to mention famous people who died (a) in their baths, (b) in their beds, (c) in other people's beds, and (d) whilst hanging naked from a trapeze eating chocolate-dipped frogs. Wikipedia isn't just lists, surely ?! WMMartin 13:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. And merge if needed with articles about people mentioned in the list. --rdnk 14:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP, has both potential and people working on it.Gateman1997 14:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, this will never be a finished article. My sister's had pneumonia, does that mean she gets on the list? What about Tom Cruise, who may possibly have had a bout of pneumonia at the age of 11? ral315 16:07, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unwise precedent to set and the list has little (if any) value. Dottore So 18:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - pneumonia has been too common as a cause of death, not to mention as a sickness; the list would include thousands of famous historical names. It could slso include many cases where the cause of death is disputed, because historical records are sometimes sketchy or contradictory - Skysmith 10:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete -- oh mercy, this is like "people who have been hit by cosmic rays." Cleduc 06:14, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Off topic of this article's VfD, Frenchman113 mentioned "list of famous people who were hit by elephants", whilst many unknown people have of course been killed by elephants, if there is a list of internationally well known people who so succumbed (I can't think of any myself) then this would be sufficiently quirky that I would look at such an article. It would provide a useful starting point to consider the wild/tammed nature of elephants etc.

  • Quick Google search lists whole series of such news articles, and guess what is top of the list ? .... yes its WP's own Crushing by elephant - fascinating article on its use as a means of execution :-) -David Ruben 00:07, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It's part of Wikipedia's collective history. Exploding whale is another. JFW | T@lk 00:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Do we have a List of people who have been killed by falling turtles? Zoe 20:11, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fitzpatrick Stadium

Delete or Merge to Portland, Maine. A non-notable stadium not deserving of its own article. I checked its official website[2] and don't think it's worth expanding. Soltak 00:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete non notable and little worthy to merge. CanadianCaesar 00:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC) Crossing out vote following expansion. Keep CanadianCaesar 21:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • delete unremarkable stadium --Tim Pope 17:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Vote withdrawn as DoubleBlue vouches for its notability. --Tim Pope 20:14, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have updated the article. Although home to many local and high school sports, it is a city stadium not a high school or middle school stadium. It is one of four facilities listed on the City of Portland's Public Assembly Facilities website. The others are Hadlock Field, Portland Exposition Building, and Merrill Auditorium, Portland's Premier Performing Arts Facility. It also appears to be one of, if not the oldest, stadia in Portland. I think there should be an article about it and I think the current stub is a good starting point for others to add what information they can find about its history. DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • And, for future reference, several of these User:Maoririder Portland articles are notable places that he seems unable to explain well in his writing but are worth researching. DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, after DoubleBlue's revisions.--Howcheng 20:03, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Gateman1997 21:06, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per DoubleBlue. DS1953 21:54, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well done, Double Blue. Capitalistroadster 23:27, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fred Pavel

I wish him all the best in his singing career, and we may well see him listed on Wikipedia someday, but he doesn't seem notable at the moment. Joyous (talk) 00:49, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as not meeting WP:Music. It claims that he has recorded a Demo CD which means that he hasn't signed. While the article claims that he has had several hit singles, Yahoo Audio Search couldn't come up with any music available for Download. [3] Allmusic.com has nothing on him either. Capitalistroadster 01:25, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as not meeting WP:Music --Apyule 01:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lovondatr

Non-notable pseudoscience experiment, so far it's got only a couple of mentions like this [4] –Gnomz007(?) 02:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I have travelled forward in time using this vehicle and can tell you that it's non-notable 5000 years from now. Sdedeo 02:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Insane, hoax. --Apyule 03:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article may need expansion but it reports on extremely important device with promise to improve human life immeasurably. Moreover, results were achieved! Experiments that have achieved results are ipso facto notable. Votes to delete are narrow-minded and POV. -EDM 03:39, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Google gives only 29 hits, I can't verify any of this information and it's not sourced. ESkog 04:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable, not verifiable, no useful details. ManoaChild 04:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Purificare and conservare(?); there is plenty of information for even a stub, and it seems to have worked. --Merovingian (t) (c) 06:15, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
What information? I can't find any mention of this that hasn't come from that article (at least in English). Claims like that need some pretty outstanding proof. Do you have any references?--Apyule 06:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Proto t c 11:30, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Experiments with Edit Page achieved results with VfD, still not noteable. Delete. Lomn 13:34:01, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
  • It's interesting that a successful time-travel experiment, which isn't too secretive to be on Wikipedia, doesn't have more than 16 google hits, with many unapplicable, and hasn't been covered by any major new agency. Something smells very wrong, and when things smell very wrong you delete as unverifiable. --Scimitar parley 14:27, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment actually there is a bigger problem with Kosmopoisk and Vadim Chernobrov articles, there are 5330 google hits for Kosmopisk and one of Chernobrov hits is [5]. I guess they are next in queue for nomination, but 5400 hits may hit the notability for pseudoscience or at least notable self-promotion threshold. –Gnomz007(?) 14:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Huh? Delete. Not even an article. -R. fiend 15:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I second that huh. Someone achieves time travel and it is ignored by the news media? Smells like a hoax to me. And I don't think I'm narrow-minded for saying Delete. If true, this would be the biggest news in the field of physics EVER. I don't believe in time travel, but hey, I'd love to be proved wrong. --Etacar11 16:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Guess why there's no coverage in the news media and very few Google hits? A simple hop into the Lovondatron, quick trip to February 2014, and wipe 'em out! Results achieved, I tell ya. -EDM 16:57, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Plus, who knew you could time-travel in a yurt? -EDM 17:03, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand to elucidate and record the hoax / conspiracy theory. Eldereft 23:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I can fulfill this suggestion for the rest of Kosmoposk articles. This device may be as arguable as E-Meter which has an article, but scientologists are much more popular, it would be bothersome to repeat hoax theory on so many articles. But its true that the most fraud accusations againt Chernobrov mention Lovondatr. I've been pointed to Harley "SwiftDeer" Reagan with similar problems, but I see that the "Quodoushka sex therapy" has got no article of its own–Gnomz007(?) 23:39, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, article does not establish notability. Martg76 21:53, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy.This "article" is a good example of some shortcomings in our speedy delete policy, in my humble opinion. There are two sentences on the page: "efront - virtual real estate frontage. Beach front, street front, efront." I do not know what the person who created this page is trying to say; it is most plausibly an ad, although google does not seem to show any company with the name selling real estate in the first hundred or so items. He may also have been attempting to define words. Or it may be spam. Regardless, it is not clearly comprehensible, and it most certainly should not be on Wikipedia. It is not unreasonable to allow sysops to delete this on sight, IMHO; we waste quite a bit of time voting on stuff like this. Is there a CSD that applies? I'm not certain, although I think a strong case can be made for G1 (see item 2 in WP:PN). I will apply the speedy tag(-patent nonsense), in the knowledge that a closer can always disagree and remove it, if in their opinion this should go through a vote.

[edit] Taquito

Really just a vanity page. Not terribly notable, and certainly not encyclopaedic (plans to go on to study veterinary medicine... cute). Delete. Exploding Boy 02:27, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete It's a cute little dog, but not very notable Soltak 02:46, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Cute, but hard to see it going anywhere useful. --Apyule 03:14, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: mascot of a university sports team should probably make this doggy notable enough according to the rather low notability bar for such things on Wikipedia. There is, for instance, articles on the Berkeley mascot Oski, and even on The Oski Yell. See also Category:College mascots and List of U.S. college mascots. (I'm abstaining, by the way.) Uppland 05:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC) No, actually I vote to delete this. Even compared to some other mascot articles this one is pretty crufty, although the dog is cute. Uppland 05:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Taquito and Oski are not really comparable. Oski is a mascot for a whole (very major) university, Taquito is a mascot for a single team at a (not nearly as major) university. Also, Oski is a "character" played by numerous real bears and later by people in suits, while Taquito is just one individual dog. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:33, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Move to Jiangjun. Jiangjun article created on August 11 by anon IP, and is basically a copy and paste of this articles text, so I am replacing the teft from this article into Jiangjun. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 01:12, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chiangchun

i recommend the article to be deleted for the following reasons:

1. "Chiangchun" is a dialect term (Hokkien?) not recognized internationally. i did a google search with "chiangchun" and all results returned were "Chiangchun Harbor", "Chiangchun River" and the likes. This means that the term "chiangchun" is not widely accepted or used at all.

2. The Chinese idea of a general is no different from that in the West. Until perhaps the invention of firearms, leading men of armies around the world often engage in duels to determine the outcome of the conflicts. And whether in China or elsewhere, they do follow a set of honor codes.

Therefore, i believe this article is redundant and should be deleted. --Plastictv 02:35, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Rename to "Jiangjun" to make the transliteration Hanyu Pinyin as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese). You'll probably get better Google results that way, too. It's not a different dialect, just a different way of writing the same word in the Latin alphabet. --Jemiller226 03:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, darnit. Wikipedia:Verifiability anyone? Perhaps Wikipedia is not a dictionary? "Jiangjun" tranlsates simply to "general" if you look it up in a Chinese-English dictionary. A Google search for the terms in the article show nothing and I've never heard anything about a clerly defined Chinese martial class or anything similar to knights. Could someone actually confirm these claims before taking them for granted? / Peter Isotalo 00:49, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless its verifibility and uniqueness from other types of generals is actually shown. It's basically a word that means "general" (the Japanese word Shogun is a cognate that also uses the same characters). --Yuje 11:15, August 15, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Discussion

But the article has no content at all, and is not likely to have any. Renaming to "Jiangjun" doesn't help in that sense. --Plastictv 03:19, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Though I was the first person to defend the article in the original discussion, it was simply based on a hunch I had when I saw that the Google hits were extremely low on "changchun" that it wasn't hanyu pinyin. I was, as I soon found out, correct, so I suggested the move. I only knew this because I had a single semester of putonghua in college (so I'm not an expert on the language, either). I cannot, however, claim any real amount of knowledge of Chinese history or her military. I'm guessing that most people who contribute to Wiki and read the VfD page don't, either, and so I don't want it on my head if an article disappears simply because I don't know a thing about it. I leave that for the Chinese historians to debate and either improve the article as it stands now or make it a disambig (since apparently it has several meanings). --Jemiller226 05:22, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I support the idea of renaming the article. Unlike how other cultures interpretation about generals, the term were use by chinese in the past more like a collective term for any commanding personal in the military than simpily generals. The term should be seperated to let us identify there is a significant difference between how different cultures defined the role of the generals. --User:wuzika12 011:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment: The article now is factually incorrect, as there has never been a military class in China - except in periods of foreign rule, in which case the upper-ranking marshalls - but not the officers - are restricted to that race. -Hmib 01:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Do you guys see where this is leading to? The article might as well be a subsection of "Military history of China". It shouldn't exist as a separate article because "chiangchun" or "jiangjun" are not recognized at all. Let me give you an example of an earlier edit someone made to the article Guan Yu: Guan Yu was a chiangchun (general) under the... Don't you think that it sounds awkward, too? Furthermore, it'd be ridiculous if every Chinese term should have its own article, just because the Chinese perhaps view the subject a little differently from the rest of the world. --Plastictv 13:27, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Jiangjun in Chinese chess is equivalent to "checkmate", something that article forgot to mention. So at least Jiangjun deserves to stay. As for chiangchun, I think it needs to go. :D -Hmib 03:51, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Mate, that's the same as saying the Chinese chess equivalent of the King in the International Chess is "jiangjun". Should we then start a "Ju" article, which is the equivalent of the Castle, or a "Ma" article, the counterpart of the Knight, and so forth? Anyway, when used as a verb, "jiangjun" could mean either "check" or "checkmate". It could be mentioned in one breath in the Chinese chess article. --Plastictv 07:41, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
With 3 different meanings that may not be all that apparent to the non-Chinese mind, I don't see why it shouldn't stay, though. -Hmib 16:21, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

  • This is an obvious delete, for the following reasons. 1.The page was created by the authors of the blog. Creating articles about one's self or one's works is frowned upon on Wikipedia because it (a) makes it likely that the NPOV will not be adhered to (as is apparent in this case), and (b) makes it more likely that the precepts of verifiability will be ignored (as is also apparent in this case). See also WP:AUTO, WP:VAIN, and WP:NOT. 2. The subject of the article is not "notable." For an article to have a rightful place in Wikipedia, it must be of sufficient significance and importance to merit mention in an encyclopedia. There are more than 15 million blogs in existence [8], the vast majority of which do not meet most reasonable people's idea of notability. "Notability" can sometimes be difficult to determine, but there are usually less problems when the verifiability and no original research policies are understood and applied; they weren't in this case. To the new users who created the article page on their blog: welcome to Wikipedia. This can be an interesting place where you might learn many things. If you're interested in editing or writing articles, do sign up and learn more about the project, and begin contributing. Please understand that our votes for deleting your article are not meant as a personal affront to you in any way.

[edit] Primordial nucleosynthesis

Primordial nucleosynthesis is just an infrequently used synonym of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, which we have a very comprehensive article on. This article is two sentences and just says what can be inferred from the name. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 04:49, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Hi uber. Is "primordial nucleosynthesis" a recognized synonym of "big bang nucleosynthesis," or is it widely used by some people to mean the same thing? If so, this page should redirect. If it is a nonsensical title, then it should be deleted. I believe the former is more likely. Thanks.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 10:15:26, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
It could be considered a legit name so I did a redirect just to be on the safe side (probably what I should have done in the first place but I wasn't aware you needed the article). No merge though because there is nothing worth keeping. Unless there are some objections I guess its done. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 15:39, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Catholic Actresses and Actors

No more notable than List of Catholic Criminals, which is already up for VfD. The religion of an actor is not important unless they make it so, such as Mel Gibson. Zoe 05:50, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is just a rehash of the debate just finished. We had a VfD for the comprehensive list of Catholics: Votes for deletion/List of Roman Catholics. The article was kept, but many wanted to break it up into smaller articles. This article was a section of List of Roman Catholics, and was recently split off into a separate article, as were many other sections. If it gets deleted it will just be returned as a section of the original article. We might as well keep the smaller lists, but in the greater scheme of things, it doesn't matter, the information will end up somewhere. We are just going over the same tired old ground here. NoSeptember 06:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Agreed. I'm beginning to feel exhausted: haven't we been thru with the same stuff already ? Mir Harven 16:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep I don't understand--I thought this was settled with the division and reorganization of the site. Why are we debating deletion again?? User:Rms125a@hotmail.com
  • Delete. This is not just some small nationality or a minority somewhere, but the majority religion of the Americas and large parts of Europe, as well as a prominent minority in many other countries in the world. Unless you want to probe into every individual's faith, this would include almost every actor and actress from France, Italy, Spain, Poland, (Republic of) Ireland, large parts of Germany etc. Unmaintainable and ridiculous. Uppland 13:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Oh Lord, something of this scope is completely unmaintainable and pretty much pointless. If there was some sort of correlation between acting and Catholicism I could support this list. --NormanEinstein 15:11, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Slightly more NPOV than List of Catholic Criminals, but still a list that is non-encyclopedic and would take forever to compile all actors and actresses who are Catholic (that list is big, but by no means is it complete, I'm sure.) ral315 16:22, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not even close to completion, it would be impossible, there are alot of Catholics, and alot of actors and actresses. In countries like France and Italy, almost everyone is Catholic, so in theory over 90 percent of their actors and actresses should be on this list, 25 percent of American actors and actresses, and many from the many other largely Catholic places in the world. It might be different if Catholisism was a small unpopular religion; it isn't. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 16:37, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep — How does this differ from the following: List of Jewish actors and actresses, List of Indian movie actresses, List of Quebec actors and actresses, List of female theater actresses, List of female movie actors, List of Catholic American Actors, List of actors who have played lesbians, bisexuals and gay men, &c. &c. &c. ? — RJH 17:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • We may need to set some guidelines on the validity of lists of people existing on Wikipedia, because it appears that some just don't like them, period. In addition to all the actor-related lists you listed, there are dozens of Catholic lists, Jewish lists, Muslim lists, and on and on. Should we VfD each in turn? It seems to be the trend. NoSeptember 17:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I have wanted to say, “delete” for the past few days, but I have changed my mind. I wanted to see the value of such a list. What value could it have?
    • VALUE: Let's say you are an 11-year-old school child and wanted to write a paper for class of prominent Catholic entertainers, or are a reporter for the Bumpkintown News and wanted to write an article about prominent Jewish physicists. You might want to include a list, and/or work off of one to create your assignment.
    • MORE VALUE: I would like to see the list have even more value by placing more information into the list. Instead of just a list of names, it would be move valuable if it contained useful information. I would like to see notes added in parentheses after a name entry: “(practicing)”; “(born into Catholic family)”; “(served as alter boy)”; “(converted at age 69)”; “(non-practicing)”; etc.
  • As for the list becoming long: that is for the people who contribute to it regularly to worry about. They can start filtering by prominence later, as they see fit. You don’t need every Sean, Carlos, and Mario on the list, if the list gets to big, you can make it prominent actors.

WikiDon 17:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete we can have infinite lists of 'people who are in category X, who are also in category Y' (e.g. 'List of blue-eyes sportsmen). Unless the two categories are likely to impinge on each other (e.g. 'Catholic philosophers', 'Afro-American politicians') or we are dealing with a minority cross-sections, which have otherwise become notable in debates (e.g. 'List of American actors who were professing communists'), I would always say delete --Doc (?) 17:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete To Doc's point, I think we can legitimately establish that a list identifying some remarkable condition (i.e. being from Quebec) warrants a presence, if only to satisfy the lust of listmongers. In this case, however, Catholic seems too universal a category to be of much interest or value. Also, on a different note, isn't 'actor' now gender neutral? Dottore So 18:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. It's kinda bizarre one has to resort to quoting himself, but, as Ned Kelly had said: "Such is life.". So:
  • 1.Having read the "delete answers", I've come to a unanimous (hehheh..) conclusion: the list must be kept. Arguments for deletion go something like this: yeah, and List of Muslims, List of Jews, List of Buddhists, .., too.. It won't happen. These list will not be deleted. So- either all or not a single one. Since the former option is out of question- the RCC list must stay (albet radically modified in not a few features). Since I was the one who has been, initially, the most suspicious about the RCC list, I can ask with some authority: why is this list here at all ? Not accompanied by other fellow lists ? Now, the whole affair begins to smack of something...undesirable. Mir Harven 08:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. it was said that Catholics are a majority in the West, nevertheless it's wise to keep the list in order not to get confused, for there are always exceptions. User:Cockney
  • Comment - List could be relevant if it would include actors and actresses whose career is closely linked to their catholicism, that is, who have played prominent roles in movies or plays with strongly catholic themes or who are outspoken catholics. Those who just happen to be catholics would not qualify. - Skysmith 10:27, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. (AGAIN-AS I ALREADY VOTED, BUT WANT TO ADD SOMETHING)-Skysmith--do you mean fanatics like Mel Gibson; trampy hypocrites like Loretta Young and Grace Kelly; IRA supporters like Morrissey, Mickey Rourke, Eddie Dowling; nuns like Dolores Hart (and formerly June Haver); Peter Boyle, a former Irish Christian Brother; horrible/sadistic/reactionary folks like Bing Crosby, Arthur Godfrey, Pat O'Brien; converts like Jane Wyman, the Barrymores (child converts), Sir Alec Guinness; et al--the list is fascinating and should be kept. Why is Zoe allowed to reopen a previously closed subject, particularly AFTER some of us have spent a lot of time, energy and money to update (the list was already in existence before I ever edited, added or deleted anything) this list. Yes, in theory, it could go on forever, but nobody is going to put down unknown, minor or cameo actors from predominantly Catholic foreign countries, and if someone were stupid enough to do that, those entries could be culled from the list by any editor or member of the Wikipedia community paying attention, as someone always is, as I have learned. 67.100.55.13 18:11, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
      • First, I think this comment is at least bit out of line. Second, most of those people are not famous for their religion but for their other endeavors. Based on this comment, you plan to fill the list with inappropriate POV commentary about them and that would constitute vandalism. Third, WP has large number of articles about "foreign" people (IP comes from California so I presume that you refer to non-Americans) - Skysmith 19:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

I think on a page like this POV is not only OK, but essential to the decision of whether or not to keep the list, on which I have spent a lot of time and money and thus have an investment. I don't think I was out of line, but I apologize to anyone who was offended. I used the above examples as examples of how interesting the list can be with surprises and personal details and yes, exposing the hypocrisies and false images of people in the public eye who may not be what they pretend to be, and the Catholic church is a great place to start--it lends itself more to that aspect than say, Methodism or Presbyterianism--given its history of censorship and condemnation. And I don't plan to include POV about them, as it would most likely be removed anyway and would get me blocked, but I think given the subject matter some POV is inevitable, as opposed to other areas (science, technology, mathematics, geography, astronomy, etc.) where POV is wholly unnecessary and should be punished.

By the way, what is "IP", and why do you think I am in California--I am in New York!! Rms125a@hotmail.com 21:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Again- the discussion on the validity of this list is completely out of touch with reality. We got actors who are Lutherans, born-again Christians,..(they're incorporated in denominations' lists, for instance: List_of_Lutherans, List_of_born-again_Christian_laypeople,List_of_Latter-day_Saints#Actors, List_of_Buddhists#Celebrity_Buddhists,...). This is a list of people who are nominally Catholics (as is the case with Lutherans or Mormons/LDS people). As I see it, we got here double standards. Catholics should not be discriminated against in such harmless fun stuff as lists just because they are majority, numerically strong minority or what not. Mir Harven 18:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
    • This looks like intended surreptious advocacy, which is against the WP policy (See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not under Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine). And the IP address above refers to Covad Communications, California, so the message at least came through their routers. (Note: I am not catholic, by the way. Any references to catholic practices belong to appropriate articles, like the criticism section of the Roman Catholic Church.) - Skysmith 08:28, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Skysmith - Who is committing the "intended surreptitious advocacy, and what does it mean?? Am I the screw up again?? Or are you referring to Mir Haven?? Why is it OK to have lists of Lutherans, Mormons, Jews, Buddhists, Christian laypeople, et al and NOT Catholics?? I think Mir Haven destroyed his own talking points with illogic. WikiDon and NoSeptember, who seem to be the "leaders of the pack" (if you will) have it right. And again, why was Zoe pemitted to reopen this debate which was fairly settled and finalized--isn't that kind of sabotage and willful disregard for the norms of the debate and a respectful acceptance of the will of the majority (why usually goes AGAINST me, by the way) a violation of Wikipedia Netiquette?? If Zoe is an editor then she should be penalized for causing this kind of dissension and turmoil. By the way, Skysmith, why would I care what religion you are?? I am Jewish if you want to know. I look forward to everyone's responses, once again, in this infernal, endless, pointless waste of time, debate, which as far as I am concerned was already settled once. Are Zoe and her allies just looking to keep counting the ballots again and again (shades of Florida 2000) until the count goes her way?? Signing off, Rms125a@hotmail.com 18:47, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

    • To put it simply, POV is not okay. Your comments referred to strong opinions of some famous people and unfortunately number or others have tried to insert their POV into various articles in the past. Also, I am not referring to my sect here since I am not catholic. Also note that I have mostly commented, having no vote but I think that someone's religion is relevant only if they are famous for it (in this case, Mel Gibson would fit the bill). As for your choice of rhetoric, calm down. - Skysmith 19:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm personaly not too bothered which way this debate goes - but, please assume good faith and stop trolling --Doc (?) 18:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

POV is unavoidable, we are humans not machines. Again, what is "intended surreptitious advocacy" (you spelled "surreptitious" wrong, by the way, Skysmith)?? What is "trolling"?? Why was Zoe allowed to reopen this debate and threaten all the time, money, work, effort that I have spent on this project, which for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why, is interesting and is something I look forward to. I also contibute to the Jewish show business figures page, but admittedly, not as much. NoSeptember promised that the lists would remain, albeit configured differently. Regrettably I cannot "assume good faith", Doc glasgow. Rms125a@hotmail.com 00:06, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I know I'm going to be unpopular with the trekies. Now, I conceed that Star wars is very notable (OK), and a page on the history of Starwars might be notable (OK?), and a page on a starwars fan-website might (just) be motale, and a message board from that website might be worth a passing mention in that article (possibly?), but a dedicated page with a detailed history of a message board of a website of a movie - is cruft. It is of possible interest ONLY to those involved, thus not encyclopaedic. --Doc (?) 07:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. I admit I am a bit biased, having been involved to some extent in the writing of this history, but I notice wikipedia has a section for internet message boards. The JC is both the world's premiere Star Wars board and one of the world's largest bulletin boards, period. (See big-boards.com if you want proof. I believe we're still in the top 10.) If any message board deserves to be in wikipedia, we deserve it. I also notice some of our fellow big boards, including Gaia boards and IGN, have articles here. Dark Lady Mara

  • Comment: I do not see why an article on this message board's history should be kept under any circumstances. It is simply unencyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a place to record the daily goings on of message boards-it takes an extraordinary interpretation of what an encyclopedia is to permit that. It fails Jimbo's verifiability test: if something was truly notable (and of such notability to be considered for inclusion in an encyclopedia) it would be the subject of independent study and/or reporting. Are there serious works on this message board (or any message board, really)? Has it been reported in the press for something significant? Are there sociologists or other scholars who study the board? Are there reputable secondary sources that one can use to write about the board? I mean, come on. This is an encyclopedia, and that's an internet message board. One's not going to be in the other. There is only one type of article that I can see having a rightful place in Wikipedia on the subject of message boards, and that is an article looking at message boards and how they are shaping or contributing to public discourse or forms of communication in developed economies. Not this.-Encephalon | ζ | Σ 11:32:43, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
  • Strong delete Excerpts from aticle: "July 8 - Obi Anne and Rox are promoted to GSA's in Fan Force." and "April 17 - In a collaboration between the staff at TFN and the Fan Fiction authors and enthusiasts on the forums, the TFN Fan Fiction Archive Opens. While not the first mention of forceboat, Bib's "force boat parte!!!" was nonetheless the place where Forceboat came into its own." ...and there are hundreds of lines just like those and worse. Absolutely no reason to believe that anybody outside the forum itself would care about any of it. Wikipedia is not a free hosting service for forums to record their members' comings and goings.

  • Delete. Not every website needs an encyclopedia entry. --NormanEinstein 15:14, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Quietmind I ask that those who are wanting the page to be deleted be aware that the current "article" on the page was not the right way to go for it. In addition to it being a problem in itself (it was lifted from another JC member's site, possibly without permission), as it was never meant to be used like this, it also lends itself to the sort of joke entries that have already been made. Unfortunately, the problems you see and are using as reasons for deletion stem partly from the very popularity that makes the JC as big of a board as it is. If I had my way, I would prefer to approach the JC and its history from a completely sociological and scientific lens. I'm interested in the sociology and psychology of internet message boards, and the JC has been truly remarkable in both areas. Instead of what has been used so far, I ask that you simply delete the "timeline" part of the article (which is what's so long, and causing other problems) and allow others to build the page back up in ways that will be of interest to anyone who wanders by, not just JC members or Star Wars fans. Unfortunately, a few people have taken a completely wrong (if well meaning) approach, and the result is an understandable desire to delete the page. As could be expected, a number of people have (or wanted to) added their relatively pointless entries ("Flarestorm trolls wikipedia", etc.). I ask that you not let this deter people who are actually interested in writing something that's up to wikipedia standards. The JC is a message board with a rich history, one that can be used to speak to both web life and real life. That is why I argue for it to be kept, and why I request that those who want it to be deleted reconsider their positions. Were you in our shoes, I think you would feel likewise. If you were able to see what a few of our members could do, I think you would agree that it would be a fine addition to Wikipedia.
    • You don't have to ask us to delete the timeline. This is a wiki, and you are a Wikipedia editor. Be bold! If you can improve the article to address the concerns of the editors who are in favour of its deletion, then you are encouraged to please do so right away. Uncle G 19:30:59, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't see how anyone outside of the forum itself (or even inside for that matter) can care on what date Larry Fett or Darth Friedman was promoted to moderator. This belongs on their website, not this one. -R. fiend 16:15, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Not true. That's part of what I tried to say above. The problem lies not in the page itself, but in the approach taken in it. The timeline should be cut entirely. Just remove that and let a few capable people write something that other people *would* care about. You are basing your judgment on something that should not be there in the first place. Please observe the DeviantArt wikipedia page. That has been allowed to remain, and rightly so.
      • In writing about things that "other people would care about", I strongly recommend citing sources, such as (for example) news media coverage. Cited sources will lead you to things that people have cared about. Please be aware of our no original research policy and the fact that an encyclopaedia is a tertiary source. Uncle G 19:30:59, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
        • Again, I ask how many of the other websites or forums that have wikipedia entries have been the subject of extensive media coverage? How many have merited independent academic study outside of wikipedia or other methods of online chronicalling? I can't recall seeing many books on IGN or DeviantArt at my library. Let's at least be consistent here. Dark Lady Mara
  • Delete, just another fan forum and thus not a notable webpage. All the timeline removal in the universe will not alter that fact. Lord Bob 17:45, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • If you think it's "just another fan forum" and therefore not significant, I recommend you delete your entire section about internet forums for consistency's sake. Why are those other boards more "notable" than this one? Also, I do know as a fact that the JC has spawned ideas which influenced fandom and pop culture. Do you remember the cover of Mad magazine once featuring a fake Sith lord with an upside-down yellow lightsaber? That was a joke first invented on the JC which later spread around the fandom! Dark Lady Mara
      • 1) Being ripped off by MAD Magazine (and no, I don't remember the cover in question because I haven't read MAD Magazine since it started sucking, which was a while ago indeed) does not notability make. 2) I wouldn't terribly mind seeing some of the other forums we have here go either, but I don't care enough to go out and hunt them down and especially not to just satisfy a bunch of fanboys that their little slice of the Internet is somehow special.

[edit] Gender gap

Male clothes are often better equipped with pockets is just one of the BJAODN-worthy "highlights" this page has to offer. The ingenial authors of this piece have made a list of stereotypes about men and women, and have not even shied away from grouping the resulting ugly list into 'gender gaps favoring men' and 'gender gaps favoring women'. (Needless to say, we all know Wikipedia - the "gaps favoring women"-list is of course twice as long as that of gaps favoring men.) This page is unmaintainable on Wikipedia.--Fenice 10:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • From the article: "the female sections of clothing catalogues are often more comprehensive than the male sections" Excuse me whilst I cry over the inherent unfairness of it all. Ok, I'm done. Somehow I suspect that a real article could be written on this though. I'd say redirect to Gender studies for the time being, and maybe it will split off from that with a real article someday. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:45, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research. It feels like there's some point that the article's trying to make (which is bad enough in itself) by grouping all these statistics. Few of the stats even make mention of sources. The topic itself may be important, but there's nothing here that can't be found elsewhere. --Several Times 13:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Huh? The first and last sentences seem self-contradictory. -- Smjg 17:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete and redirect to Gender Studies, or given the content of the article, perhaps a Disambig would be better (Gender Studies, Sexism). Pockets and mail-order catalogues aside, this is a laundry list of what seems to be undocumented and unexplained (not unexplainable) differences in the US. Example: Women live longer (mostly) (no sources) and Men pay more for insurance (not connected in article) Could we possibly have a less intelligent article, excepting only vanity pages? We already have an article on Sexism.--KillerChihuahua 13:46, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Both my observations and a few online writings e.g. [11] show it. And you called a VfD just because of these additions? Would you have called one when they were only mentioned on the talk page, if you'd noticed at that time? -- Smjg 17:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

fourth edit:

I just finished talking to him and he told me to get it off the net ASAP, and that he didn't want to be known for his affiliation to socTH. Please delete this.

I am the author of the article; I don't think this should be deleted, for a couple of reasons.

(1) I am not Alex Wice, which already says alot.

(2) People in the community want to know who he is.

(3) He is easily one of the top 5 people that has contributed to the field, and IMO in the top 2.

(4) People may be unaware that he has written x,y,z articles (the articles that he has written, not literally "x" article, duh) or cannot match his psuedonym to his real life name.

(5) He has very strong, 'professional' (as in, related by work) to notable people, such as "Mystery" (Erik von Markovik), and "TylerDurden" (Owen Cook). To give you a sense of how they are notable, "Mystery" claims that he is the best pickup artist in the world, and backs up this claim with open challenges as well as thousands of testimonials that validate that he is infact the best seduction teacher on the planet. That means that this person is #1 at something, by affiliation the person that is close with someone who is #1 is also notable (not in whole because of their closeness, but in part.)

In response to "Collabi"'s vote for deletion : if you read the page, I provide a note which explains how internet-research is just as notable as "real" research (research affiliated with a university.) The reason is that there are alot of nonstandard ideas that are logically valid but are discarded in a 'professional' setting, and also that people that work in this field really need to have a different set of beliefs (an 'open mind' ?) that lets them explore.

In response to "Dbiv"'s vote for deletion : if you look at the entry "Macky" in wikipedia, you will see that this is a biography of someone born in 1990, who is notable. The age doesn't matter.

second edit:

From Wikipedia:Importance;

  1. there is clear proof that a reasonable number of people (eg. more than 500 people worldwide) are 
     or were concurrently interested in the subject.

you only have to use google for 'pickup' or goto bristollair.com to see how many people are interested in pickup articles; then it is quite easy to find his handle (psuedonym), which by then you will figure out that many people have read his articles, which is evidenced by the hit counter at the bottom of the page in just one of the many places that hold copies of his writing.

so stop saying "nn" : easily more than 1000 people has read some form of his work and many are interested to find more about his work, and possibly in the future where they can find his work / more of his work.

another thing is that his presence in the dictionary may provoke him to come out of hiding and start writing for the general public again.

ps. for the record this is still the same vote even though my signature appears above this.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Attempting to convince someone to come out of hiding is not something an encyclopedia should do – we report verifiable facts here, we don't engage in soapboxing. (Well, at least we try not to.) android79 13:51, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surrender of Japan

As User:Raul654 suggested. I would love to know what others think. (Please don't take this sarcastically)

  • Keep. Naturally I created this article. -- Taku 11:16, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Victory over Japan Day; i know that's americentric, and i know japan's only surrended once, but it still makes more sense to me to move any non-duplicate content over there. Nateji77 12:41, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Change vote to keep, article has been greatly expanded. Nateji77 07:56, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge per Nateji77. Wouldn't want any redundancy. --Several Times 13:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • The most difficult VfD I've seen so far; I have respect for what Taku is saying here. The rules first: WP cannot have two articles on the same subject under different titles, that's not an option. So a decision has to be made in either choosing one of the current titles, or choosing a third that is agreeable to all concerned. The last option will intuitively sound the fairest; it is also never going to happen. So choose one, we must. Now, an article on this subject need not be intrinsically POV. It can document in the most rigorous terms the different POVs, and this one (the V-J article) does (it goes to great lengths to tell us what the day is called in Japan, etc). If everything in the article is meticulously NPOV, then all that remains a point of contention is the title itself. But we can view the title as merely a marker: a marker for interested readers to find a story on the subject. What ought to be important to us is making sure that our story is fair: the title is merely a link to get to the story. Therefore, choose the title most people are familiar with. On the English Wikipedia, that title is V-J day. Delete.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 14:16:30, 2005-08-11 (UTC) NB. I should clarify that I mean that the article should be deleted. The page with the title "Surrender of Japan" can redirect to V-J day.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 14:59:12, 2005-08-11 (UTC) The page has been rewritten to address the concerns of editors. The rewrite met my objections, and I have changed my vote (see below).—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 13:56:11, 2005-08-13 (UTC)
  • Keep and do one of the following. (1) If we don't have a well-considered article on the surrender debates in the Japanese government, then this would be a good name for it -- PBS recently did a good job on the subject, so we should be able to do at least a stub. A disambuguation paragraph can then point to V-J day for anyone who is looking for that topic under this title. (2) If such an article exists, then this article can become an extended disambiguation page, pointing to V-J day, the surrender debate article, and the relevant sections of the articles on the atomic bombing. (3) If all of these exist, then this can be a redirect. There doesn't seem to be much to merge that is not already at V-J Day, but this can be looked into by whomever does the fix-up.

  • Keep, what is the rationale for deletion? Christopher Parham (talk) 15:48, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
    • Interesting that you say that, Chris. There are 9 votes on this page. 3 votes are for keeping the page, (apparently) as it stands. None of the three who voted this way said a word to explain why they think as they do (this is not necessarily a bad thing). 6 others have voted for a change - all 6 believe that the page should not remain as it does. Most think that the page should become a redirect after it's contents are either merged or deleted outright; Robert suggests other things that may be done with the article space. In each case these editors explained why they think what they think. Perhaps reading their comments may answer your question as to their rationale, and explaining your own view would help us understand why you think the page should be kept (apparently as is).—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 17:20:10, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
      • A number of people seem to have a rationale for merging; I disagree with this merge because V-J Day and the surrender of Japan are two separate things. e.g., descriptions of the annual celebration of the event belong on V-J Day, and descriptions of the surrender process (which of course covered more than one day) on the Surrender page. If the pages were to be merged, this seems to be transparently the better title, as it makes sense everywhere and addresses the entire topic. It remains unclear why this is on votes for deletion and not being discussed as a merge. The nominator provided no basis for deletion, and Raul's comment directs us to the talk page, which this article appears not to have. Again, what's the problem -- unencyclopedic, POV, etc. -- that's prompting the deletion of this article? Christopher Parham (talk) 20:18, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
  • Merge and/or delete. As I said on the talk page, there is no rational basis for having this article. Taku created it because he's currently in an edit war with just about everyone on Operation Downfall. His logic is surreal - Taku claims that because the Japanse Wikipeida doesn't talk about the reasons why Japan surrendered, neither should we. So he took information out of that article and moved it to this one. →Raul654 16:04, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Just for a record, this is not what I am saying. -- Taku 23:13, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect per Nateji77. Victory over Japan Day covers the topic in greater detail, and this is nearly redundant. — RJH 16:57, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP and expand. VJ day article is about the day Japan surrenders. The article "Surrender of Japan" should cover the actual process of surrender, hold-outs, after surrender battles (such as the last battle at sea, being a few days after the surrender, between a US Marines captain and a Japanese Army colonel on Chinese junks), the signing of the surrender between Japan and the various combatants, the fact that Japan and the Soviet Union never made peace, etc... 132.205.3.20 19:27, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge Nateji77 is right.Dottore So 20:10, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but expand, per Robert A West. An article about the Japanese perspective towards surrender would be a good addition. It's something I might have been able to write back in college, but that was far too long ago. --Howcheng 20:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC)


CHRIS: The editors who vote on the VfD page are charged with a simple task: to determine whether the article in question satisfies criteria for deletion from Wikipedia. The question before us is unambiguous: does the article now lying at Surrender of Japan deserve deletion? The first thing to do is to look at that article. It has four sentences. It states that the Emperor announced Japan's surrender to the Allied forces on Aug 14 1945, that that day is known as Victory day in the US but Shusen-kinenbi in Japan, and that it is generally considered to mark the end of WWII. That's it. There's nothing else there.

Now, the reason this article is before us is clear. There is another article, VJ day, which relates precisely the same events, and which has been around for two years. There is a WP policy that you cannot have two articles on the same thing. Since the content of SOJ was so similar to the corresponding, relevant portion of VJD the question essentially boiled down to: which title page should this article come under? I explained in my first post how I answered that question. My opinion is that the article at SOJ should be removed. Other editors have said that the content of SOJ should be removed and "merged" into VJD — that is fine too, the reason I didn't suggest that myself is that I read both articles, and it seems to me there is essentially nothing in SOJ that is not already in VJD.

Now, you and the anon have suggested that the article be kept, and that a future article detailing the whole surrender process can go to that page. I find nothing objectionable in the least about writing an article under that title that would narrate all those issues that you point out — sounds to me like a splendid idea. But that is not our charge. We are asked to decide what to do with the article sitting very publicly on that page right now. (There is a reason why articles that are VfDed are "frozen" - that is the version we are judging, not something in the past or the future.)

Would I object if the SOJ page was blanked and a new version such as what you speak of was put up? No, of course not. I'd want to see a good article like that up sometime. However, I cannot be asked to respond affirmatively to, "Well, why don't you keep this article that violates policy, because in five months we'll have a different article here." This is similar to "In five months I'll be bigger than the Stones, dude, so keep the currently non-notable article on my garage band." —Encephalon | ζ | Σ 22:55:59, 2005-08-11 (UTC)

    • The fact is, however, that V-J Day and Surrender of Japan are about as much the "same topic" as Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus. As well, you are welcome to merge V-J Day into the broader topic, Surrender of Japan, and if you want move that whole thing into Pacific War. I wouldn't oppose these merges so long as no information was lost. However, merging broader topics to more specific ones is a mistake. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:16, 2005 August 12 (UTC)
      • Chris, this is really taking up quite a bit of time, isn't it? I'm afraid I can't explain my position any better than I already have. While I am unable to understand why it is that you respond as if you haven't read what I wrote (and this has happened twice), and am moderately amused that you're telling me stuff about SOJ that I already know and have agreed with, I'm perfectly happy to leave this as it is. This is a VfD, and outcomes are best when editors who understand policy evaluate each matter disinterestedly. We've all said our piece: great. May the closer decide what's best. I'd urge anyone voting here to 1. Read both the SOJ and VJD articles, 2. Read the posts here 3. If they haven't lately, read WP:DEL, and 4. Vote! All best wishes—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 06:19:58, 2005-08-12 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. The article and Victory over Japan Day are about different topics. One is about a day; the other is about an ongoing process. The article can take into account lots of events that led to the surrender of Japan, such as the outcome of the Battle of Okinawa; the Potsdam Declaration; Russian preparations for invasion of Manchuria; continued bombing of Japan; internal conditions such as evacuation, mobilization, food supply; internal political discord ... there is enormous potential for gathering in one place the factors that led to Japan's surrender. None of this belongs in Victory over Japan Day. This situation has important differences from the analogy to a band (as Encephalon asserted): the article does not violate policy; the event is already proven noteworthy and encyclopedic; the possibility of growth is in the article rather than the subject. Fg2 00:23, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
What do we keep besides the article namespace?
"On August 14, 1945, at gozenkaigi (meeting by the Emperor and the leaders), the acceptance of Potsdam Declaration was decided."
and
"The day is known as Victory over Japan Day in the U.S."
make it pretty unambiguous that the article we have now is referring to the day, if not the hour, japan agreed to accept surrender. we can keep and list it as a page needing expansion, but the natural direction to expand in is likely to just result in more content redundant with what's at V-J Day. if expansion is desirable, then i think we need more variegated content than we have now, or at least a very clear request for such on its talk page. Nateji77 04:48, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
make it pretty unambiguous that the article we have now is referring to the day, if not the hour, japan agreed to accept surrender. Exactly. I am unable to understand why the concept that VfDs evaluate the existing article at the page namespace and nothing else appears to be difficult to grasp.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ
It's easy to grasp. Is that concept policy? Fg2 07:57, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Final Comment. From reading some of the above, it doesn't look like it has been grasped. I think the basic facts here can be summarized as follows:
There have been 13 votes. Of these, 2 votes are for simply "keeping" the article (ie. keeping the article as is). The other 11 voters want some sort of change to the status quo. The disagreement appears to be with what form the change should be. 6 voters want the content of the article at the SOJ page removed and merged into the VJ article, should there be anything to merge. The other 5 voters want the article to be kept as is for now; they say that in future it could make a great page for a number of hypothesized possibilities.
I have explained why I disagree with that view. The SOJ article is not a marvelous treatise on the series of events surrounding the end of the War. It is a 4 sentence paragraph repeating, almost verbatim, stuff from the 2 year old VJ page. Wiki policy on this is clear - merge (if there is anything to merge), and redirect the page. Since this is a wiki, there is no harm done to any party with this action: if an industrious editor writes an outstanding article on SOJ in the future, he can always put it up, and he'll have my full support, for sure. But do understand that I will not change my vote to allow a clear policy violation to get through because of a hypothesized future alternative. My best wishes to you Fg2.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 12:21:37, 2005-08-12 (UTC)
  • Comment (since, I recently discovered, I still have too few edits to be acceptable to the Cabal to be accounted a responsible voter) :: IMHO 'V-J Day' is an extremely POV title, and panders to the triumphalist Brit-o-centric mentality which I thought was supposed to be being eradicated. On the other hand, an article on why one country decided to end a war by surrender, rather than continue to a futile defeat, seems an eminently valuable piece of original exegesis. --Simon Cursitor 11:29, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep While the page is currently mininmal, there is a great room for expansion. There is no mention of the surrender aboard the USS Missouri to MacArthur, who signed it, who was there, where is the surrender sword now, etc. There is no need to merge with VJ day either. While the two pages currently look similar, VJ day deals with the celebrations around much of the globe. Barneygumble 20:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. There is plenty of room for expansion, and this is a perfectly different concept from VJ Day. The comparison of Easter vs the Resurrection of Jesus is a particularly compelling one. Themindset 21:59, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I've expanded it in a direction that clearly distinguishes it from the V-J Day article. Fg2 11:59, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Excellent work, Fg2. I believe most editors vote out of a concern for policy, and desire to see WP filled with as many good, strong articles and as few poorly written, sorry excuses. Our differences arise mainly with what to do in the interval; whether we're willing to tolerate a poor article/policy violation remaining on WP in hopes it will eventually improve, or not. Editors who vote to "include" have valid reasons for choosing as they do; I think the most valuable among them are those who actually put their keyboards where their mouths are and work to improve the page. As it now stands, the SOJ article is a decent precis of some of the main events surrounding the Surrender, is clearly distinct from VJday (ie. it is not a redundant page), and has good scope for expansion. Editors on VfD judge what is on the page — with Fg2's excellent rewrite, I see no reason for this page to be "kept-but-merged/blanked/made-to-redirect," and remove my earlier vote for such. I now vote simply to keep (and hope the involved editors can find a way to settle their differences and expand). To Fg2, keep up the good work.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 13:50:10, 2005-08-13 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. V-Day is about a specific day. Surrender of Japan covers a longer time period, it should have details on which events led up to the surrender, which I think is much more encyclopedic and interesting content than the fact that this day is actually still called victory-day in the US (enough criticism on this mentality was already posted here), and that it is still celebrated. If one of the two article seems redundant, by all means keep "surrender" and delete V-Day. --Fenice 12:24, 13 August 2005 (UTC) A no-merge vote is a good choice now. Prior to 30 minutes before you wrote this, it wasn't.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ
  • Comment Incidentally, it perhaps bears mention that there was no reason for any editor who wanted this page to be kept to fear deletion — no one here (with the possible exception of one editor) voted for the page to be deleted. People were voting to merge-redirect, keep-expand, keep-as is —all of which imply keep. (The closer of this VfD has the simplest of tasks ahead of him/her.) The debate we're having here is essentially one that could (should?) have taken place on the Talk page of the article, because all the actions involved may be performed by any one of us. VfDs like this one are symptomatic: it's actually being used as a dispute-resolution process. I am not sure why the person who brought this VfD did so, since when I checked the history, it looks like the person who brought it himself does not believe the page should be deleted. I do not know his motivations, I do hope it was not WP:POINT, but I'm happy that the issue looks like it's moving towards resolution. Regards—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 13:56:11, 2005-08-13 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand. I agree that the circumstances surrounding the surrender of Japan in World War II should be better explored; a good aspect would be the attempted coup by members of the Japanese military prior to Emperor Hirohito's broadcast (I think I'm gonna work on that as well :)). The article on V-J Day is just a commemoration of the actual day of surrender. This promises to be a good "killer" article, although a better, more precise title may be in order.RashBold 21:29, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article has obviously been substantially expanded since the start of this voting process. It looks to me now to be a robust piece of work worthy of keeping in it's own right, particularly given the current topicality re the Hiroshima / Nagasaski bombings and the renewal of historical debate regarding the reasons for the Japanese surrender - i.e atomic bombings / role of USSR etc. The comaprison to the VJ Day article, and calls to merge with that seem, to me, to be patently wrong. -- Cactus.man | Reply 11:38, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for reasons delineated above. Bhumiya/Talk 12:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B5062 road

B-roads are minor countryside roads, not national roads. This is fancruft Pilatus 11:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians from outside Britain, please read Great Britain road numbering scheme before voting! Pilatus 15:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I think this is a good-faith attempt to document the geography of the area; why would anyone be a fan of a minor road? It does seem non-notable, but I have to admit that page might be kind of useful if I heard about the road on the radio or something. Collabi 11:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - B5062 fans are idiots! B2021 forever! (Article doesn't establish notability) -- Plutor 14:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. First of all, Plutor is a TROLL. B2021 is not an important road and is indistinguishable from B5062; basically, these are all the same, with the obvious exception of B31415, which is teh R0XX0R. Plutor, please take your POV somewhere else. Also, please, God, stop these road articles! Sdedeo 14:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, county road or state hwy equivalent from the UK. Gateman1997 14:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Gateman, how do you reconcile your assertion that a 19 mile stretch of asphalt is notable with your statement that high schools have to demonstrate notability [14]? Not trolling -- I just don't get it. This article makes no assertion of notability. Sdedeo 14:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Numbered Highways are extentions of national and regional systems that are vital for travel, commerce, defense, and life in general. Grade and Pre schools are not (note I modified your comment as I don't advocate deleting highschools if you had read my page.)Gateman1997 14:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B855 road

Fancruft. B-roads are countryside lanes, not national roads Pilatus 11:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. The B855 is the most northerly road on mainland Britain. Laurel Bush 11:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC).
    • That's right, the only fact that makes the road notable is that it leads to Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of mainland Britain. The fact is replicated in the Dunnet Head entry, and I can't see how the B855 road entry can be expanded beyond that. Pilatus 14:15, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Laurel Bush. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, county or state level road in the U.S. Also per Laurel Bush.Gateman1997 14:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • This isn't a US road. Conventions in Britain are different. A-roads would be equivalent to county roads. Do check Great Britain road numbering scheme. Pilatus 14:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I respectfully disagree. C and D roads might be nothing but local streets but per your own link B roads are at least the equivalent of county routes in the U.S.Gateman1997 15:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
        • No, county roads would be three-digit and four-digit A-roads. Trust me on that, I used to live in NY state and now live in Scotland. Pilatus 15:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Dunnet Head where it is mentioned. Generally B-roads are not notable. the wub "?/!" 14:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Please get rid of the B road uselessness, an atlas in words is not good. Being the northernmost road in Britain does have some sense of notability, but just redirect to Dunnet Head. And Pilatus is right about the UK road classification. - Hahnchen 14:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, roads are verifiable, important and interesting, as well as being useful for navigation. Kappa 16:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    Wikipedia is not a travel guide. If we have to cover these roads, we can do it in a list or in the relevant town articles. Town articles should mention connector roads. Gazpacho
  • Delete or redirect to Dunnet Head. The article doesn't even state that it is the northernmost road, which is odd, if that is its single claim of notability. -R. fiend 16:25, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Say Hey

An article on a message board on a Kylie Minogue website - that's probably reason to delete. The current longer version is a (probably defametory) record of trolling on that website. Attempts to redirect to Kylie have been reverted. --Doc (?) 11:51, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong delete and then protect... a good example of why we can't include too many forum articles: they quickly turn into heaping piles of shit. In any case, a section of a singer's website is not encyclopedically notable anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:08, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

It's another attempt from some very disturbed individuals to voice their slanderous and bitchy opinions on others that they don't know in a bid to make themselves feel a little bit more important.

  • Keep Sayhey is culturally significant to the same level that other websites like Slashdot and Popbitch (which have their own Wikipedia entries) are. Probably the bits which defame individuals should be removed. But anything which reflects the sites internal culture, and nature of debate is worthy of detailing in Wikipedia. Cheers.

  • Delete until a better and less self-congratulatory version can come along. Deletion, however, should not be based on all of the above (and obvious) biases. Notability is self-evident, and suggesting that the grounds on which this is nn would probably mean that EVERY forum entry is useless, including slashdot and such. HOWEVER, to prevent further holier-than-thou delete requests, I suggest a merger with the actual Kylie_Minogue article itself, with a mention of the basics (large active member base, recent legal threats over posting midweeks and unreleased artist material, etc.). --Alex¯Jon 16:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blatte

Exclusive Swedish slang term. Delete or transwiki to Wiktionary. Peter Isotalo 13:51, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Seems notable, could be expanded. We have articles such as Gringo or Kraut. Martg76 22:14, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • But gringo and kraut are commonly understood English words these days. Googling gives no hits with this usage (in English, at least) in the first 50 or so listings. Delete. BrainyBroad 11:50, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • As a native speaker of Swedish and being a fluent English speaker since the age of 10, I can confirm this. It is an exclusively Swedish term. / Peter Isotalo 15:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't see why English terms should take precedence over others (if those are encyclopedic/notable). Even though written in English language, this is an encyclopedia with global appeal. Martg76 21:43, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
        • It's an English language encyclopedia. It might have global appeal, but it's still written in English and including slang notable only in languages other than English is going, far past any reasonble interpretation of our inclusion policies. It's one thing to include persons, ideas, events and places not notable or even completely unknown in English-speaking countries, but slang terms... That's just taking it too far. Whatever happened to Wikipedia is not a slang and idiom guide? / Peter Isotalo 22:03, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
          • That argument is inconsistent. If that is your opinion, why don't you put Kraut or Gringo for deltion, or Johann Gottfried Piefke, who is really only notable because of the slang term? Wikipedia isn't an English slang dictionary either, is it? Martg76 04:50, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
            • It's realistic, if anything. I'm seriously unamused by the though of keeping every imaginable slang in term notable only in every imaginable language besides English. I think it lowers the general credibility and standards of Wikipedia and encourages additions of other articles on idioms known only to non-English speakers which are difficult to verify and is very hard to put some decent limit on. A lot of slang in most languages is extremely notable and there's always information to add about which of social or ethnic groups that use it, etymology, differing pronunciation, etc. etc. It's very easy to claim that nearly any common slang term should be included. Kraut and gringo, just like nigger, are veritable institutions of the English language, and keeping such extremely notable English-language terms (even if I would prefer not to have them) feels like a very reasonable compromise to me; extending this reasoning to other languages does not. And Pfieke is a poor example in this context since he is a person who has done other things besides become famous for being associated with an idiom and... well... he's a person, not a slang term. / Peter Isotalo 10:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Peter Isotalo. / Alarm 08:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm sorry for disagreeing... exclusively Swedish term? yes. -- but being non-notable is (i think) not a reason by itself for deletion... m:wikipedia is not paper, and all that... --Fred-Chess 12:06, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • If a non-English dictionary slang term is not a reason for deletion, then what is? / Peter Isotalo 15:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Having thought about this a bit, I have decided to vote weak keep, as this and "blatte" both are slang terms used frequently in modern Swedish society, and can probably be linked from articles on Swedish youth culture and immigration issues. "Blatte" already has a link from the article on the Swedish hip hop group The Latin Kings. I'm not adverse to revisiting the issue if the articles haven't shown signs of growth in six or twelve months. I have asked User:Tsaddik Dervish, who writes articles on Swedish hip hop, to look at the articles. Uppland 06:33, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Article growth isn't the issue here. Even unencyclopedic articles can grow exponentially in notime. Just look at list of common phrases in various languages. People voted to keep it, but just try making it fit with Wikipedia is not slang and idiom guide and you get non sequitur arguments. / Peter Isotalo 15:04, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I still think small discussions, like this one, are useful. I'd say people have a right to have their opinions and votes, no matter their logical correctness... in fact , using the argument "I like waffles" would be just as valid as anything for voting... Otherwise, the List of similarities between Canada and New Zealand would surely have been deleted by now... --Fred-Chess 08:32, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
        • If neither logic nor reason are expected nor asked for in these discussions, we might as well not have the discussions at all and just have unmotivated, silent (hell, even secret) votes. Demanding respect (not acceptance) for making non sequitur argumentation is only going to further polarize the inclusionist/deletionist discourse and keep fueling bitter disputes among Wikipedians. At the very least admit that it's about a form of opinion-pushing, not a product of well-balanaced reasoning. Anyone who claims that your above example is a healthy sign of quality improvement should think it over. It strikes me as being closer to rules lawyering than reasonable argumentation. / Peter Isotalo 10:22, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Basically, Namco has stated they are "planning to work on" a next-gen title, but there is no indication that they have started the planning stage, though it is likely they have since III is due to be out in 2 months. Either way it is speculation. This article should be restored as soon as an official annoucement is made, but someone will likely make a new page anyway. -- Bubbachuck 20:30, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Plus, there's no room for expansion as Namco doesn't even officially announce their games until about eight to ten months before their release; and since Soul Calibur III hasn't even been released, I'd say this page has no potential for added information for another two to three years. --Shackleton 17:23, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Kevin Hurst

Blatant promotion. He is a lawyer in Dallas, and did take part in the case stated, but he inflates its importance. The remainder is trivial. I tried to edit to significant only, but he keeps reverting the page. In the end he's just another lawyer with a high opinion of himself, so instead of an edit war I decided to vfd Outlander 15:39, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Not true. I am not Michael Kevin Hurst, but Outlander apparently bears a grudge against the guy. The remainder is not trivial, per Wikipedia's guidelines. In the end Outlander is just another random troll on the internet (or an arrogant person who lives in his own world) who gets his only joy in life by deleting the content that others work hard to create.

  • Yes... moving on from that surreal encounter. I'll happily change my vote when I see any evidence of this notability.
    • The five pages listed as "brochureware" are among 18,251 similar entires.
    • The criteria for "Advanced Paternership" as indicated here involves nothing of notability, but acting as a quasi-salesman for IBM.
    • As to the "customer experiance"
      • It's submitted by the company to IBM,
      • It's a requirement to become an "Advanced Partner", and
      • The footnote on the page indicates "It is simply verification that your application is installed at a customer site running on strategic IBM technologies."
    • The mere presence of a quote submitted by the company to IBM means what again?
    • Ahhh... I see the quote. One line in an on-line magazine. Hmmm.
    • If someone wants to argue "Non notability is not a criterion for deletion" they should argue that, not give us Google-scratchings. - brenneman(t)(c) 06:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Aaron, you've moved the goalposts. You ask for media mentions, I give them. You ask for evidence that they're an IBM business partner, I give you that. Then you misrepresent Computer World as "an online magazine", you misread the criteria for advanced membership, and you wave away the masses of direct recommendations of the company's product on IBM's own website as "Google-scratchings". And then, faced with evidence that this is a company whose product is directly endorsed by the number one player in business intelligence and mid-range computing, IBM, you have the nerve to ask for evidence of 'notability! --Tony SidawayTalk 06:40, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Ummm. No. Not at all. I asked for news media mentions. I stated I did not find them on IBM's website. You did, a tribute to your persistance. The "bar" to advanced membership involves operating IBM "middleware" at one of your client's sites. Which almost always involves the client buying something from IBM. That's why they make people partner's - to sell IBM profucts and services while basking in the reflceted glory. I fail to see masses of direct recomendations... in fact I fail to see even one. What I do see is quite a lot of company-cruft, originated by the company in question on IBM's website. And if you have evidence that the one-line quote in Computer World appeared in print you have failed to present it. Why don't you (and I) get off this VfD and let the people think for themselves? Is that really too much to ask? - brenneman(t)(c) 07:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sean Harvey

  • Delete. This looks like a vanity page. A search for his name and expertise brings up only 7 hits, some of which are not him. This guy got his PhD a couple years ago; it will be some time before his work is considered encyclopedic. Perhaps this should be a "speedy delete"? csloat 15:57, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Pretty borderline. I was unable to confirm this bloke even exists. But a guest commentator on the BBC World Service is probably notable, and his field is not likely to receive much notice. I'll pass for now. — RJH 16:33, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, but not speedy. His alleged work for the BBC World Service is a legit claim of notability, and as such I googled "sean harvey" "BBC world service", and got 3 unique hits, none of which even seemed to be him. -R. fiend 16:35, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and if he becomes relevant some day, I'll even get a screenshot and upload it myself. Actually, I just won't vote to delete him again. JDoorjam 19:23, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Would not delete. I am sure that I know Dr.Harvey. Much of his BBC World Service work has been in Moscow even though I myself did try to find things on him in Google and found only ONE entry confirming a doctor of late 20s (probably suggesting the date) in philology (if you can call that linguistics). Whether him or not, I listen frequently to Radio 4 in England and can say that I do know who this man is. He appeared in Episode 8 of the Roots of English transmitted in early 2000: my daughter has been using the tapes of this show for a college project and she borrowed these recordings from the local library. I am sure of his existence and would urge him to publish more of his own info on the web. User:Mario55 12-08-05

[edit] Nakamura Diary

For a related VFD discussion see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Articles on Imperial Japan.

This article is a mixture of translation and description of an uncited primary source: the war diary of a man identified only as Corporal Nakamura. I have been unable to trace the source document through Google, the British Library or Nielsen Bibliographic Data. The first draft of the article was in broken English, from which subsequent editors have guessed the intent, but the accuracy of the present version of the translations cannot be verified without the source. It has been suggested that this should be transwikied to Wikisource but the work is inappropriate for that project because it is not simply a transcript of a source. So, as matters stand, the article is not quite encyclopedic, not quite a source and not quite original research. Perhaps it would have a home somewhere at Wikicities.

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This article makes some fairly extraordinary claims, with little evidence to back them up. Without anything better than the article creator's own website, delete. OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:48, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eric Minamyer

Overlong bio of a guy who ran in the Republican primary for a seat in Congress, losing badly. He also was on some town board or something somewhere, but it's hardly noteworthy. Members of Congress are notable, but random people who make poor attempts to reach that office are a dime a dozen. I'd say your average grade school teacher has a greater impact on the world. -R. fiend 18:05, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Strong keep. I think that NPOV articles about minor politicians are fine. He might not be the most successful politician around, but Wikipedia should have as much political coverage as possible and this is a well-written, interesting article. Academic Challenger 05:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. He was a school board member and on the board of trustees of one of the most populous townships in Ohio. And the nasty ad hominem attack is really unnecesary. PedanticallySpeaking 16:27, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
    • What ad hominem attack? I'm perfectly serious when I say a grade school teacher has a greater impact on the world than a guy who kind of ran for a pretty high office, or a member of the board of trustees for a township. Teachers directly impact thousands of people, often pretty substantially, over the course of their careers. Town board members maybe cast a vote on whether to raise the sales tax a quarter percent and such. Most people can't name a single one, but I bet everyone remembers who their fourth grade teacher is. That's my point. If he actaully got the nomination we might have something, but he didn't even come close. -R. fiend 16:38, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hurricane Ethel (1960)

Delete Non-notable hurricane causing no documented deaths or damages. It's gets just under 2000 Google hits [23] almost all of which are from meteorological sites. The only thing even remotely notable about it is the fact that it's one of only 25 Atlantic Hurricanes to reach Category 5, and that doesn't warrant an article. Soltak 19:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep. One of just 25 in 150 years sounds notable to me. Pilatus 19:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment I would remind everyone that this hurricane resulted in no documented deaths or damages. It's no more notable than a bad rain storm. If the delete vote fails I plan to redirect the article to List of notable tropical cyclones where Ethel is mentioned. Soltak 21:39, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

        • Not that I should have to explain further then I already did, but the fact that it's a Category 5 hurricane deems it pretty worthy of an article in my book. There have only been 25 in the last 100 years. It's not like this is some obsure Tropical Depression. Gateman1997 22:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable. Kappa 22:58, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Gateman1997's rationale. Plus IMO any named hurricane is notable enough for article, even a stub for a non-damaging event. 23skidoo 23:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Any Category 5 hurricane should get its own article, damage or not. It simply doesn't happen all that often. Mike H (Talking is hot) 23:37, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Ten minutes of actually reading some of the 62,000+ Google hits results in learning that Ethel ('60) was the only hurricane to make originall landfall in the region between MS and the FL panhandle, that it is unusual for hurricanes to form in the Gulf of Mexico, that there were only 2 Cat 5 storms that year, and that the name Ethel was not retired as a result of this storm. All of this seems notable enough to mention. The fact that WP is not paper means that we can be expansive on what articles appear, provided that smaller articles are well-linked to more substantive articles that will round out the topic for the casual reader (who is the only person using this resource). --Mddake 00:06, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

  • delete The information can be verified, but the company is already mentioned in the (surprisingly, almost suspiciously) detailed entry for jockstrap. Nothing further about the company seems notable. Hence, 100% redundant.

  • Keep. The fact that some of Filepile's 8000 members wish to maintain it as a sort of secret club does not justify removing or defacing accurate information about this important online community.
    • The site has been mentioned and discussed numerous times on several Web sites and blogs, including Metafilter (11 times!). Google reports that nearly 7000 pages contain the site's URL (filepile.org). Given that Filepile is well-known and often discussed, there is a wealth of verifiable information about the site.
    • As well, Wikipedia contains a great many articles on secret societies -- including the Mafia, Ku Klux Klan, and Freemasonry -- information about which one would expect to be difficult to obtain.
      • This "wealth of verifiable information" does not appear in the article, nor are the statistics about how many times a subject has been discussed on Metafilter particularly impressive or encyclopedic. The "secret societies" named have all actually done something that made an impact on the world. If "FilePile" has achieved any notability, it has not been demonstrated here. Dystopos 03:43, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Also, though there appear to be sock puppets / very new users voting on this article, that in itself is certainly not a reason to KEEP the page -- at the most, their votes should simply be discounted. Xed, thanks for being vigilant about who's who in this vote, but I will point out that you haven't offered a positive reason for why it should be kept. The real issue is whether this article is appropriate for the Wikipedia -- can you offer an argument for why this particular private, inaccessible, low-membership site deserves inclusion?

  • Where did this figure of 8000 come from? A lot of discussion on the merits of small census-designated places and GNAA has taken place and they have been kept for various reasons. What I'm missing here is any argument that "FilePile" has done anything worthy of mention in an encyclopedia besides (probably) existing and (possibly) spawning some VfD puppets. I had't voted until now, but I'm starting to agree with the nominator. Delete Dystopos 21:00, 16 August 2005 (UTC) -- I checked up on the "Andre Torrez" linked in the FilePile article, and he does list "FilePile" among his "more me" projects. The link just goes to the login page. So we can verify it's existence. Also, it looks like he worked on "DropCash" which I *have* actually heard of. Maybe an article about Torrez or DropCash with a mention of FilePile as a private file-trading site is better than keeping an article with little hope having encyclopedic content? Just a thought. Dystopos 21:06, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

    • There's no such thing as "invalidating" the vote for deletion. The worst case is "no consensus" and some vandal policing. The subjects of Wikipedia articles have been allowed to comment in VfD, but usually their votes are discounted. It is probably best to report your suspicions with as much restraint as possible. Personal attacks are not permitted on Wikipedia. (And that goes for everybody). Dystopos 00:53, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete Ignore every other argument about new users voting, vandalism, personal vendettas, etc. and cut this argument down to what the vote for deletion page says it must be about. The article. In this case, what you have is one description which may or may not be accurate about a closed or perhaps non-existent site. How would anyone check the veracity of the article? At the present time it's of no more value than idle speculation and as such is not going to help anyone understand anything. If the article were re-written to the point where it was filled with "alleged to", "supposedly", "might have", "has been rumored to be", etc. then maybe it would meet what seem to be the quality standards required of Wikipedia. If not, then the article as it stands is of no merit, because there is no way to take what you have in front of you and verify whether it is in fact true or utter nonsense. And furthermore, that situation is not going to change. When I go to FilePile.com I get no site at all and FilePile.org is a login with no new user signup.
  • Ask yourself, if someone were to write any other article and make claims for which they could provide no attribution or proof, what would Wikipedia do? My guess is either require a radical rewrite of the article or delete it altogether. CaptainMarvel 22:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

      • Again, if I may, I'd refer you to the Wikipedia standards for dealing with deletion. If I may quote from the Wikipedia Guide to VfDs - "The most important thing to remember about Votes for Deletion, especially for newcomers who are unfamiliar with it, is that it is about the article, not about you. Even if the article is a vanity page or an autobiography, please remember that Wikipedians are discussing the article, and whether it is worth inclusion in Wikipedia." Your response is to how many edits I've made, not to the substance of my argument which is about this article and the maximum quality level it will ever achieve. CaptainMarvel 01:51, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

It should be easier on you now. Can you please cite which FilePile members have confirmed which details, and where they did so? Not that it matters much, as this site is still non-notable. — Adam Conover † 23:44, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Summary of Votes

Note that some of these votes have been made by users who had either no or very few edits before voting. See annotations by Xed above for details. (Just trying to make sure all the info is in one place.) — Adam Conover † 08:43, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Not just some. Nearly all - Xed 09:50, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
A very quick count (i.e., not double-checked) gave me ten votes that you did not comment on. This is hardly "nearly all." — Adam Conover † 20:05, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
I would say only about 5 votes were genuine. The rest were new users, FilePile members, or users who have engaged in vandalism on the article - Xed 21:59, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Votes of new users are certainly often discounted in tallies. As for FilePile members, apart from account creation date, what means do you have to distinguish who is a FilePile user and who is not? It seems that date of account creation is the only criterion we can use -- certainly, there is nothing in Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators that would suggest that a longstanding Wikipedia member who is also a member of FilePile is ineligible for voting.
Yes, but there's an organised campaign to delete it - Xed 23:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC) Just not very well organized, I guess. --tranquileye 12:12:16, 2005-08-18 (UTC)

As for vandals, there is also nothing that outright precludes them from voting; additionally, as I have mentioned elsewhere you have been far too liberal with the term "vandal", applying it to any editor who makes a deletion you disagree with. (The best example being the editor who believed that Flickr photosets were not appropriate material for an encyclopedia. I, for one, agree with him -- that editor was not a vandal, and neither are many of the others you have so labelled.)

In an organised campaign, some will make smaller vandalisms than others. - Xed 23:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
In short, the new users who voted on this page are suspect, but about the rest we can say nothing with certainty. — Adam Conover † 22:56, August 17, 2005 (UTC)


Xed, can we possibly avoid having an edit war on the section below? You have had your say above -- I proposed this section as a way to tally which voters had a large number of edits, not as a quick summary of every attack that has been made against every voter. The admin who decides this issue will, I'm sure, read everything that everyone has written, and make their decision based on that. If we are just going to fight over this section as well, I suggest we simply delete it, as it will not help anyone. So instead, can we just keep it NPOV -- that is, just that information on which we can all agree? — Adam Conover † 16:55, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the admin will read everything. So allow them to do that. Stop removing relevant information. - Xed 16:58, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
There is no need to repeat your characterizations in the section below. The facts can speak for themselves. (And if fthey don't, you've compiled quite a compendium of clues in the section above) Dystopos 21:50, 18 August 2005 (UTC)


I have deleted the tally. It was doing nothing but causing an edit war, and it didn't actually provide any information that wasn't already available above. (It is also against the VfD process, as it turns out.) I suggest that the annotation of specific users continue in COMMENT format -- so Xed, if you want to say something about a user, you can add a comment below their votes, and if someone else wants to refute it, they can comment below your post. That way no one will be deleting anything, only adding comments. This deletion on my part is not vandalism -- rather, it is an attempt to change the way matters are being conducted on this page to minimise endless reverting and foster real discussion. If you feel any information might have been discarded with the tally, go into the history and find it, then post it above. I think, though, that we'll all be better off without a revert war, right? Let's do this right, guys. — Adam Conover † 23:42, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Reinstated. The only reason people wanted it removed was to remove evidence of their vandalism, to remove mention of their filepile membership, and to obfuscate the vote etc. The tally saves anyone time by letting people see immediately, rather than trawl thru the history. - Xed 23:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Redeleted. Xed, the problem with the tally is that there is no way to discuss what BELONGS on the tally other than via a revert war. For example, I take exception to your description of one user as a "hoax user", an accusation which you have not explained or justified. However, if I try to alter the tally, you revert it. The tally is, in essence, useless, because we are not going to be able to come to an agreement on it. Therefore, we need to enable ourselves to discuss each charge, and the tally box is preventing that. Once we all agree, we should certainly reinstate the box, but until then we cannot possibly have a stable, undisputed, tally that doesn't cause interminable revert wars. Unless you have no interest in resolving the current untenable state of affairs -- or another suggestion for how we might do so, other than that we all meekly allow you to label users in whatever way you wish -- leave the tally deleted for now. You will still get your say in the comments on votes above. — Adam Conover † 23:55, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
Stop making it difficult for admins - Xed 00:00, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm confused. Are you an admin? I don't see any special markers on you or on your individual page which would indicate it? CaptainMarvel 03:04, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Redeleted again, as it remains clear the Wikipedia Guide to VfDs specifically says that tables like this should not exist ("Please do not refactor the discussion into lists or tables of votes, however much you may think that this helps the process."). I'm not really sure why the removal of this is controversial, either. Jason 01:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment I'm afraid this VfD has been so derailed by Xed's actions that no clear consensus will be reached. — Linnwood 03:45, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks Jason -- I read that guideline earlier today, but was in a rush as I made my last edit so I didn't have time to go find it. I fully admit that it was my own mistake suggesting it in the first place -- my goal was to pull the content out of the mess this page has become a little bit, but obviously that effort was misguided, and backfired to boot.
Linwood, I have that concern as well. Still, if you read over the various votes, even if you exclude all the "new users" and half of the rest of the voters Xed wants excluded for whatever reason, it's pretty clear that the voting is heavily lopsided towards Delete. Of course, "consensus" is (as defined by Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators) a huge grey area, and this VfD is obviously grayer than most -- still, I have confidence that a careful admin will be able to sort through this mess without TOO much difficulty, and make a decision that isn't influenced by our or anyone else's bad behavior. — Adam Conover † 05:32, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Duke of Liempt

Unsourced, unverifiable. I strongly suspect that this is a hoax. The phrase "Duke of Liempt" generates no Google hits. None. I am not aware of any easily-accessed resource for Dutch titles of nobility (e.g. Leight Rayment's peerage pages). I and other people who work on British and European nobility welcome the addition of non-British titles, but we'd prefer that they actually exist. If anyone can submit information that verifies this page, I'll happily withdraw the nomination. Mackensen (talk) 20:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, newscaster on a syndicated radio show, passes WP:BIO. Kappa 22:21, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • And you have verified, independently of the article that he is a newscaster, yes? Like with this site [31] which says "The Don & Mike Show is a morning show in the afternoon!". Taking as Gospel the contents of a stupid article is not good research. -Splash 22:23, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

        • Which uses the exact same wording as the article, funnily enough. I've debated with Kappa before about an insistence on simply believing the article, and didn't really make much headway. -Splash 22:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
        • The "stupid article" is the Westwood One (NYSE: WON) profile of the talent for one of their syndicated shows. And here's more from WJFK. The "morning show in the afternoon" is a sort of a joke. And "Buzz Burbank" and "Don Geronimo" are probably not real names. That's radio humor for ya. Ben-w 22:33, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Advertising. "RN Brazil is a producer of films,videos, events and interactive content"; gives a client list and contact details. Physchim62 22:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Ad for local company. A lot of google hits but most (all?) of those refer to "RN, Brasil", short for "state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil". Nabla 22:49:25, 2005-08-11 (UTC)

  • DeleteAdvertising, don't know why it wasn't on speedy deletion. Translating roughly: "Located in Sao Paulo, capital, RN Video is a film, video, events and interactive content producer. Its portfolio has respectful entities such as ADVB, Serasa, Votorantim Celulose e Papel, Vivo, Chevrolet and others. For more information call ... or ...".

[edit] Finnish Animeunion

Generally I'm an inclusionist, but this is just silly. It's a website, which 'strives to bring forth common in real life meetings'. It has an Alexa rank of 2,102,132, and gets 385 Google hits (which is little for a website). Oh, and no pages link to it, except one redirect. Very kawaii. - ulayiti (talk) 22:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - It is indeed very rare. What you people fail to understand is that just because something isn't in Google doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. One of the very reasons behind us writing for the Wikipedia is to supplement the existing record with new information - not merely to create an echo chamber for what already appears in Google. Think about it. --AStanhope 14:20, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Nothing in MedlinePlus or MedicineNet.com. I would think that a recognized disorder would show up there. --Etacar11 14:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
      • When did Wikipedia get to be so Ameri-Centric? Contact: Societé DHR, No 118, 3e, rue du Faubourg du Temple, 75010, Paris, France
        • It appears that you know something more about this than you're putting in the article, ASH. (For instance: what does DHR stand for?) Information about who identified the disorder, who treats it, who the Societé is... Eliot 16:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
    • No vote. I agree very strongly about not just mirroring Google, AStanhope, but the fact that we can't even find evidence that a disorder with this name exists is near-certain proof that there's some highly important fact being left out of the article. (Maybe the name is just being poorly translated?) Just add any reference that will allow us to put the article in proper context. I will vote to keep if that shows up. Eliot 15:10, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes, I would need more than an address in Paris for verification. --Etacar11 15:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.

The stated justification for the deletion nomination is invalid. Users have no right to anonymity on Wikipedia. There is certainly not right to a degree of anonymity greater than the IP address used by the only two contributors to the article so far.

That said, the current article contains essentially no verifiable information. Some information mirrors that of the company's website but the article itself cites credibility concerns with the source. The company lists itself as a Florida corporation but shows up on no search of US companies that I can find.

Despite having only one valid "delete" vote, I am going to exercise my judgment on this one and call it as a "delete" for lack of verifiability. This decision is without prejudice against the recreation of a verifiable article on the same topic. Rossami (talk) 00:52, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Russell Impagliazzo

Delete First, the possibility for vanity exists as the article's author was an anonymous IP. In any event, while this professor is quite notable at his University, on the whole notability has not been established. I could write very similar articles about a number of professors I had in college. A line that most clearly demonstrates his lack of notability is this "Russell Impagliazzo has had a big red beard for most of professional life and is recognized by this, at least within the UCSD computer science department." If vanity isn't at work, an over-enthusiastic student is. Soltak 23:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I cleared out some of the cruftier bits. Seriously, this article had to have been submitted by an over-zealous fan, probably a student, as originally a list of his students was included. Delete unless improved in the next five days. If it is, please let me know on my talk page. --Scimitar parley 23:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
