[edit] Tilly Smith

Keep - Had not heard of Tilly Smith prior to seeing her listed in Wikipedia. Suggest you keep the article and include a link to the National Geographic article [1]. Teachers looking to see how they can have a positive effect on students may benefit. In my opinion, this is valuable and relevant information for social, psychological, humanitarian and educational reasons. Tilly Smith saved 100 lives. Who writing here has saved one? The act itself deserves an entry. Clyo Beck December 16, 2005

NN person, just a girl credited with saving nearly a hundred foreign tourists at Maikhao Beach. Unknown UserTalk 15:26, 16 December, 2005 (UTC)

Keep - subject of international recognition and media coverage. ABC. BBC, National Geographic. the wub "?!" 10:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
just a girl credited with saving nearly a hundred foreign tourists? Man, even if I hated tourists that much, I would not confess it on Wikipedia. Assuming that the nomination by a user who does not reveal his identity was in bad faith, I vote for speedy keep. --DrTorstenHenning 11:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, subject of major news coverage, also received award. If saving hundreds of people all at the same time isn't noteworthy, I don't know what is. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
This is surely verging on a speedy keep based on silly (if not bad faith) nomination. --Last Malthusian 15:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Language is possibly a bit unclear there - I don't think it's a bad faith nomination, I do think it's rather silly. --Last Malthusian 15:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
One of the criterion for a "speedy keep" is that the nomination is clear cut vandalism and/or WP:POINT. I do think that this is a borderline case. Speedy keep. Capitalistroadster 15:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. She is notable, she hit the headlines in the UK after the event and again when she got her award. Keep keep keep. Peeper 16:32, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] House of God House music event

Google From Googling the main terms, I found nothing but wikimirrors. Seems like a neighborhood event somewhere. delete

Delete per nom. --Wingsandsword 02:49, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Neutral. Nothing wrong with having articles on neighborhood events, as long as they're properly referenced to publicly-available information. However, unless a second source (i.e., additional to the website) can be produced, there's probably not going to ever be enough verifiable information to make a good article. —Simetrical (talk) 03:49, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tracer Bullet

This and all other comic stubs are much to insignificant to be listed in their own article. There is already a discription of Tracer Bullet in the Calvin and Hobbes article. I've also listed other Calvin and Hobbes stubs as articles for deletion.--FelineFanatic13 00:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge into Calvin and Hobbes Zzzzz 00:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

There is absolutely no need to merge the two articles because Tracer Bullet is already listed in the Calvin and Hobbes article.--

FelineFanatic13 00:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Redirect then? - Rudykog 00:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Someone else can redirect it if they want to. Redirecting is not my speciality on Wikipedia.--FelineFanatic13 01:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It's really not that hard. Anyway, something that can be merged doesn't need deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguate - this page should be a dab pointing to Tracer ammunition and Calvin_and_Hobbes#Calvin's_alter-egos. I could see someone searching for "Tracer bullet" and meaning the piece of ammunition, not the comic strip reference. -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I guess Tracer Bullet and Tracer bullet are different pages... I still like the idea of the dab. -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep and expand. -- JJay 01:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Delete and I'm a big C & H fan. Wikipedia must be useful. Right? Billbrock 03:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. There's enough verifiable info available to make a full-length article about this. See this. —Simetrical (talk) 03:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- To clarify: it is my opinion, as explained elsewhere, that Wikipedia does not need notability requirements, and in this instance my opinion is not contrary to policy. —Simetrical (talk) 08:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
A bog-standard private-eye parody popping up a few times as a gag in comic strip? Uh uh. Comic-cruft. Delete outright or redirect to Tracer ammunition. --Calton | Talk 06:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment for those voting to keep everythig verifiable - It's not like the section on alter-egos in the Calvin and Hobbes article is swelling to the point of bursting or something, why have redundant information? You have a point about Wikipedia's potential purview, which I don't disrespect, whether or not I agree, but in this case, you're overextending, IMO. The first article to bud off of the Calvin and Hobbes article would have to be the entire alter-egos section, and then, when each section of that grows big enough, it could be split. That's when Tracer Bullet gets his own article. I'm not holding my breath. -GTBacchus^(talk) 07:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguate or delete. I can't see this being as useful as Spaceman Spiff is.--SarekOfVulcan 09:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge to Calvin and Hobbes and then disabiguate with Tracer ammunition. the wub "?!" 10:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguate - to Tracer ammunition, and to Calvin and Hobbes, where this info should be merged. Too crufty for its own article. Proto t c 10:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
disambiguate and then redirect to C&H. This should not stand alone. Eusebeus 11:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect info that's not yet mentioned at Calvin and Hobbes. If you want a reference to tracer ammunition, it should be at tracer bullet, note the lower case "b". - Mgm|^(talk) 11:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect, from where it can be broken out again if it expands beyond the size of that page. Hiding talk 12:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gay rights in Iraq

I believe that this article should be deleted. It is just pushing the author/authoress' point of view, and doesn't give much information, but to be fair I'll put it to a vote. Chooserr 00:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep I disagree with the previous poster. The article has a neutral point of view and factual information, as well as a good list of references. I see no reason to delete it. -- Ritchy 00:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Neutral for now, although the article might need renaming (e.g. to LGBT rights in Iraq). Out of curiosity: what are the pov issues you are talking about, Chooserr? Aecis ^praatpaal 00:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Deletion is only an option if the article is intrinsically and irreparably pov. I don't think that is the case with this article. So if there are any pov issues, put a npov tag on the article and fix the problems or use the article's talk page. Aecis ^praatpaal 09:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Changing my vote (again), this time to speedy keep. Nomination is a violation of WP:POINT. Aecis ^praatpaal 14:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - factually pointless information. npov? article smacks of western cultural bias. those disgusting iraqis, staying over there with their own culture and traditions! why cant they be decadent like us! Zzzzz 00:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- So what you're saying is only Western countries should have gay rights articles? Remember, this is a vote to delete, not a vote to fix. Ashibaka tock 01:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. There is plenty of precedent - we have many other articles in Category:Gay rights by country, including a number of non-Western countries. FreplySpang (talk) 00:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete article is wild full of POV, totally inapropriate, attack pice against america —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.188.116.13 (talk • contribs)
Keep, but take out some POV statements. JHMM13 (T | C) 00:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - There is absolutely nothing POV about the concept of an article on LGBT rights in Iraq. If there are POV problems, fix them. FCYTravis 00:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, pointles POV "article"

User:Jcuk 00:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Notable topic on which verifiable information exists. Capitalistroadster 01:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. I find it hard to understand the nomination or the delete votes. This is a fairly good sized article with a dozen external links that has received quite a few contributions from different editors for half a year. It's a dry analysis of Iraqi law and recent history as it affects gay rights. It certainly doesn't attack the United States. If it does have POV problems (which I don't see), then the proper procedure is to give it an NPOV flag and leave comments on the talk page or better yet to correct the text. The nominator attempted none of these remedies. There is no valid basis for deletion. Durova 01:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Speedy keep per User:Rob. Bad faith nomination. Now I know why several deletionists seem not to have read the article. Durova 16:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - Yep. I daresay it's a borderline speedy keep. FCYTravis 01:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment I'm at a loss to see what POV issues to fix. The only specific examples in this discussion come from people who appear not to have read the article. It attacks no country or culture. It does not advocate homosexuality. Category:Gay rights by country has 35 other entries. I say this with caution since such things should not be suggested lightly, but perhaps the intersection of gay + Iraq pushes buttons for some people. Durova 03:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - and whoever thinks this article is POV should say why, specifically, on the talk page, so we can begin to fix those POV problems. Deleting is not the solution. -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Delete needs to go--64.12.116.12 01:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep Clean it up, don't wipe it. That's not how you solve problems. Ashibaka tock 01:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep Per precedent. Jasmol 01:40, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Fix any problems. -- JJay 01:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Fix NPOV problems. No matter how little is left after NPOV, its better than nothing. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 01:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep. This article, as said by Durova above, is a well researched and rather comprehensive one (IMHO) covering history, legal issues, etc. The POV issues that some users seem to see should be discussed on its talk page and eventually fixed, not simply speedily deleted. That does not solve problems and as far as I was informed, was not the way Wikipedia operated. You don't see the George Bush or Palestinian articles being speedied, and those are, again IMHO, more controversial and potentially POV than this one. Another problem seems to be User:64.12.116.11, who has in the past couple of minutes added a NPOV tag, a nonsense tag, a totally disputed tag, an unwanted tag, and finally deleted the article (which has now been reverted). This user has a history of vandalism and has struck again here, evidently, which I think is a different issue than the other discussions. Sputnikcccp 01:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. This is an informative article worthy of inclusion to Wikipedia. --Apostrophe 02:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Neutral Fix POV and I am ok with it. JG of Borg 02:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep. Detailed article with useful information. No reason has been given for deletion- the only one stated is POV, which is something corrected by editing, not deletion. This could easily be a Speedy Keep. -- Jake 02:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep, per User:Durova.--SarekOfVulcan 02:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete Are we going to have to have articles about this on every country in the world? Dwain 02:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - Why shouldn't we? We have articles on every freaking elementary school in the world now. The way a country treats its gay and lesbian citizens is hardly non-notable. FCYTravis 03:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment Dwain 03:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Wow, I see you have a pretty strong POV. "Homosexuals are non-notable"? Is that why their rights are a major political issue around the world? "Irrelevant minority?" Way to show your biases. FCYTravis 05:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Surely people have a legitimate interest in knowing how to obey the law? Many countries have criminal codes on this subject, but the laws differ. Durova 05:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, we are going to have articles about this on every country in the world. And why shouldn't we? Homosexuality is notable, just like crime, cuisine, culture and religion. And the legal dealings with homosexuality in different countries is definitely encyclopedic. I won't get involved in a religious discussion with you (although I have a feeling that I think most of what you feel is utter bullshit), but you really shouldn't let your pov get in the way of your contributions to this encyclopedia. We are dealing with the world as it is here, not with the world as it perhaps should be. Aecis ^praatpaal 14:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Delete 100% POV nonsense, get it out of here--152.163.100.12 03:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep per User:Cynicism addict. Fix the POV. Billbrock 03:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. There was a serious academic book on the subject in China (Passions of the Cut Sleeve), cited in Homosexuality_in_China. Billbrock 03:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

P.P.S. ~~By analogy to the above citation, I would suggest a redirect to Homosexuality_in_Iraq; hard to discuss the legal aspects w/o discussing the culture.~~ On second thought, no, per User:Durova. Billbrock 04:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

P.P.P.S. Check out Gay_rights_by_country and note some of the amusing omissions. Billbrock 04:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

May need editing, but there's enough good material in there for me to be a firm keep. —Simetrical (talk) 03:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep -- Edit or tag the article for NPOV, but don't delete. Chanlord 03:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep. I hope that whoever counts the votes can see that none of the people who voted to delete have any valid reason for doing so. Logophile 04:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry, they aren't votes anyway. This is a discussion, not a poll. There's clearly no consensus to delete, so it won't be deleted. -GTBacchus^(talk) 04:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep. Even though I think this article needs improvement, there's decidedly no reason whatsoever to delete it. --ParkerHiggins 06:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment - Given that this AfD is obviously going to fail, I would strongly suggest to the nominator that a withdrawal would be in order. Unless you like watching people run up the vote. FCYTravis 09:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - bizarre how much response it generated though, isn't it? I guess the whole idea of gay Iraqis really touches on a nerve of some kind... who knew? -GTBacchus^(talk) 09:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment - Not that bizarre. This is a clearly encyclopedic topic for which there is absolutely no logical reason to delete. The nominator went around posting this AfD on talk pages of people he figured would support him. Seems like he got more than he bargained for. I liked the one delete voter's logic that "homosexuals are non-notable." FCYTravis 09:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment. Right, FCYTravis, it's not about the content of the article. I personally don't care at all about the topic. To me it is about the idea of somebody nominating a valid encyclopedia article with no justifiable reason.
    - Comment - I guess I was referring to the delete votes. Those are what I find bizarre. Nobody's explained what the so-called "POV issue" is yet. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, gay rights in various countries are an important topic. — JIP | Talk 09:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep legitimate, interesting, and useful article. PatGallacher 12:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy keep. I find this[2][3] attempt at organizing along religious lines unacceptable (specifically asking Catholics to delete an article for being about gays), and think it shows an invalid basis for the nomination. Anyways, this article is clearly on a signficant topic at a high level (national) with plenty of signficant information to cover (with great room for improvement) --Rob 12:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Those edits do not stand on their own. They are part of what seems to be structured and organized behaviour to fix votes, and with it wikipedia content, along the lines of religious beliefs. See for instance user:Pitchka's talk page spamming concerning the CfD for Category:Pro-life celebrities and Category:Pro-choice celebrities [4]. In the space of a few hours, he scoured just about every user category where he thought he could possibly find supporters. He spammed no less than 57 users, asking them to vote his way. I'm not sure if this qualifies as meatpuppetry, but it sure reeks of vote fixing. Aecis ^praatpaal 19:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- They also seem to be on a mission to eradicate the BCE/CE dating system from wikipedia. 1 Aecis ^praatpaal 22:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments Dwain 04:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- - - I think you've just illustrated everyone's point in that statement there. Please keep in mind that everyone does not share you opinion and homosexuality and the rights and opinions of various countries on homosexuality are important and notable. And please don't use Wikipedia to push your own agenda. Chanlord 05:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep -- it contains absolutely no objectionable material in accord with Wikipedia's policy. Sebastian Prospero 19:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, no reason to delete at all, although article could use improvement. Garion96 (talk) 20:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. POV and other "cleanup" problems have no bearing on an article's nomination unless it is inherent in the subject. I don't find this the case here. Ifnord 20:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and POV-ectomy. AfD is not an appropriate way to handle any perceived POV issues. --Bletch 21:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Now that I've fully reviewed the article, I really don't see any POV issues. Where's the beef? --Bletch 00:06, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep and let it be improved --Petros471 23:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep of course. Someone with more motivation may want to consider an RFC or similar opening of discussion of this group trying to silence gay-rights issues and censor the BCE/CE system from Wikipedia. This smells like the beginnings of a more serious problem. (ESkog)^(Talk) 00:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

This is typical you don't like something or someone so they must be punished. He had every right to nominate this article for deletion. Just the title alone is Point of View. Dwain 04:29, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Nobody is talking of censure simply because of nomination of an article we wish kept. It's the *expressed* motive of the deletion that's the problem, and the means of promoting the deletion. We must assume good faith, but the nominator has made clear through their own words and actions; that they're seeking the deletion of articles based on religious/moral grounds, and are trying to gather a coalition of like-minded voters along sectarian lines to accomplish this. That's what's truly unacceptable here. As an anology, if somebody nominated a Christian rights in Iraq article because they personally opposed Christianity, and solicited votes principally from people they thought shared their religious views (based on religious affiliation), then that would also be unacceptable. We don't want any religious block to start dictating content at Wikipedia.

I'm sure the "college gentlemen" who called it home between 1999-2003 remember it quite fondly, but that doesn't give it encyclopedic notability.

[edit] Catalan negationism

The term is a neologism of difficult understanding.
Even if the already proposal of renaming it as historical revisionism (Spain or Catolonia) in the sense of

historical revisionism (political) will hold no sense with the text present

The article is full of factual errors and outlandish claims, which extracted would leave the article nil. If needed I could elaborate
The intention of the article is, as the last line shows, intentionally derogatory (and perhaps slanderous) of, at least,one political party and a well known journalist
The appearance of a genocide denial accusation makes the derogatory intentionality even more evident. I know of no person who has denied that during the Spanish Civil War, crimes than in a broad sense could be called genocide happened in both parties. What there is, ever since the start of the war, is discussion about the causes, ways and numerical volume of it.
Discussion of the war at a whole, and many other historically related issuess has recently flourished again in Spain (it's true partly on /around political issues), but the so termed revisionists,mainly keep their research within scholary acceptable standards, Their conclusions may be controversial in relationship to current mainstream perceptions or affront some political groups, and even might be false -the race is still open-. But that's just the normal play.
I think, as the so called revisionist school has very few things in common, specific problems are better suited in the articles which touch the matter. Wllacer 00:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

--Wllacer 10:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC) : A note to reviewers who vote for merge. I've been researching a little more on the topic. AFAIK it seems it has appeared in the last few weeks, as part of the usual political bashing, regarding some ongoing questions in Catalonia (and Spain in general), and has less to do with the historians' debate as I thought. And it's still to early to kown if the idea will stick. Therefore, in case you vote for merge, i would propose to do it into Politics of Catalonia, after all factual errors has been cleared

I've put on the article's talk page, a detailed account of the, IMHO, factual errors --Wllacer 12:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Spain under Franco should probably deal more with the repression of the nationalities, and if we got enough material on that, it would deserve to be spun out on an article of its own Repression of nationalities in Spain under Franco , but this poorly researched poorly written article is no place to start. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep -- Don't bite the newbies.

Nominator is improperly conflating a discussion of what they perceive as POV issues in the article, with the issue of whether the article should be deleted or merged. That is wrong. All discussion of POV issuss should have been left on the article's talk page.
The original author of this article clearly isn't a native speaker of English. But it looks like they tried to confine themself to a neutral point of view. As to nominator's assertion that the title is a neologism? I strongly suspect the original author made their best effort to translate a real term, in Cataln, into English. I think it is unfortunate that the nominator didn't assume good faith, and suggest the actual translation for the Catalan term.
See the suggestion that the article more properly belonged under a name like Historical revisionism (Catalunya). Nominator has not assumed good faith, and is implying that the creation of an article duplicate content is an attempt to end run policy, rather than considering that it is a shocked newbies attempt to conform with policy. I think these two nominations highlight the importance for nominators to comply with policy and leave their concerns over POV issues on the articles talk page.
This nomination gives the appearance that the nominator is trying to use wikipedia policies to win the upper hand in a POV dispute. I had a wikipedia contributor, who thought my contributions showed a biased POV. When I asked them to explain how they thought I was showing a bias, they couldn't or wouldn't explain themselves. Instead of engaging in a civil dialogue they started nominating the articles I created for deletion. It was a highly disturbing attack on the wikipedia community, in general. Having gone through this, I urge all wikipedians to make the effort to show good faith, follow the policy, and not let their POV concerns leak into {afd} discussions. And I urge all wikipedians who follow {afd} discussions to be on the lookout for nominators who, consciously or unconsciously, slip POV issues into their nominations. -- Geo Swan 14:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Article without sources on very obscure circus from the 18th century. Google test list 145 hits, including wikipedia mirror sites. Mecanismo | Talk 00:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep, clean-up and expand. If not merge somewhere. Why would we want to delete material on early circus history? -- JJay 03:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It is an poorly written article which is orphan, uncategorized and filled with unverified information on a very obscure subject from the 18th century. If wikipedia strives to be an encyclopedia, it should try to host verified/verifiable information on any subject. --Mecanismo | Talk 03:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Do you require more sources? There are many available. But, please stop these seemingly misguided attempts to remove valuable information from the encyclopedia. Consider using some of the many templates available such as cleanup, or unreferenced. You can insult me all you want, but I intend to try and save as much vital early circus knowledge as I can. -- JJay 05:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Creighton Lovelace

Was tagged as speedy, but claims notability, so User:Kappa removed the tag. Original reason given was "not notable". howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete An otherwise completely non-notable local pastor whose only tenuous claim to fame is some media attention for a sign he put up by his church for a few days? Sounds too non notable for a Wikipedia article. --Wingsandsword 01:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak Keep The rewrite emphasizes the magnitude of the incident and pushes it over the threshold into notability. --Wingsandsword 03:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Agree with Kappa that the verified claim of making national news saves it from Speedy territory, but I still don't think it's article material. If anything, could be merged with his church or perhaps another article on Chistian-Islamic religious tensions. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. All major US networks covered the story. The Associated Press covered it and it gained attention from international media. I'll be editing the article in a moment. Durova 02:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Revisions posted. Durova 02:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. I agree with Durova. The improvements to the article are superb and professional. If a student is doing research, Wikipedia ought to have a dossier or article on this event or personality for information. I would keep it. Creigl 03:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep, notable unpleasant incident. Thanks for the references and proof of media coverage Durova. Danieltown Baptist Church Kappa 06:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have a notability requirement: it's in the Wikipedia:Five pillars. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and we should not carry content that does not belong in an encyclopaedia. This, meanwhile, is a good, verifiable, encyclopaedia article. Good work, Durova. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 07:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Well done to Durova for the rewrite. Capitalistroadster 09:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, this is more of a news article than an encyclopedia article (not in quality, in permanence of fame). Merging into another article may be appropriate. -- Kjkolb 09:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Nice job on the rewrite, Durova, but without the news stories out of Gitmo, this never would have been noticed.--SarekOfVulcan 09:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Without the other scandal this probably wouldn't have happened. Since this did receive international news coverage, I decided a well sourced and objective article is worthy of the encyclopedia. This is a very hot button issue. Hot button issues in general are prone to distortion. Suppose a rumor takes shape that Christian Churches in the United States support desecrating the Koran. A concise account can help put those fears to rest. Durova 16:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rename. The incident is certainly notable, but the article isn't about Creighton Lovelace. It's about the incident involving the Koran. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 13:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rename per Mgm - Wezzo 14:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment it redirects from Danieltown Baptist Church, links from Qur'an desecration controversy of 2005, and is in the Islam and controversy category. That should be enough for people who want to find it. Durova 16:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Move (not sure where yet), which I gues is the same vote as Keep and rename. This isn't really about Lovelace. Maybe The Koran Needs to be Flushed? Not sure yet. -R. fiend 18:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This isn't a biography by any conceivable stretch of the term. The guy had his 15 minutes of fame (15 seconds, more like) and will almost fade into the woodwork. Briefly mention it in Qur'an desecration controversy of 2005, at best. --Calton | Talk 00:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- You are correct to note that my stated reasoning is invalid in this instance. I was not aware of the policy at the time I originally commented. My vote is now reluctantly delete unless evidence can be provided that one or more of the individual's films was widely screened. However, since the CFD vote for some bizarre reason only applied to people (see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal#P1 .28Expeditious deletion for articles not asserting notability.29), it seems that my voting to keep the movie pages (provided their existence is backed up by sources) is not contrary to policy. —Simetrical (talk) 08:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

All that takes time. These articles don't just spring up overnight, you know. -- JJay 22:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Nope, they don't spring up overnight. And they don't spring up overmonth or even overyear. I challenge you to go look at school articles over a year old, and see for yourself how few get much past the stage they originally appeared at. It is clear to me that inclusionists for the most part do not wish to concern themselves with the long-term viability of an article, and instead support the thesis that more is always better. D e nni ☯ 02:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

So what is your point? That the project should shutdown? Every article not completed should get cut? No stubs allowed? Are you advocating a blanket purge of every article that you don't consider viable? For my part, I'm willing to allow editors the requisite time to build these school articles- ten or twenty years if need be. I assume the schools and wikipedia will still be here during that timeframe. -- JJay 07:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

My, you're good at setting up straw men. But I will take one of your wheat guys and say yes to no stubs for non-notable schools. West Armpit High School will be a one-sentence stub for as many decades as you care to wait, because quite frankly, Jjay, no one gives a beaver's backside about this school except a few of its former students, who probably aren't even aware of Wikipedia's existence, or if they are, couldn't be bothered to improve the article. I am willing to accept school articles which present well as articles, but I have no patience for articles which are half-baked placeholders for maybe maybe something happening down the road. Maybe. This kind of article just makes us look incompetent. D e nni ☯ 00:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I respect where you stand. In fact, I would agree with you, except that there are no non-notable schools, that is nonsensical nonsense designed to fool the uninitiated. They are all notable, even PS Armpit 157. They are worth many beavers, front and back, cooked and baked. And that even extends to Canadian schools, where beaver, I've heard, may be easier to come by. -- JJay 01:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.

Delete. Article appears to be original research, and subject of article is non-notable. Srleffler 03:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Qualifying this a bit: the article has been rewritten to focus on Evans' biography. It is no longer "original research", and it may well be the case that Evans is a notable crackpot.

Keep pending references. Wikipedia doesn't need notability requirements. —Simetrical (talk) 04:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. The link to the argument about Wikipedia not needing notability requirements makes the above essentially an argument for deleting this page. If even the page's supporters admit that the subject is not notable, the page is surely deletable under current policy.--Srleffler 06:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

At the time of my original vote, I was unaware that speedy deletion was mandated for articles not asserting the importance of an individual. I'm not happy with this policy, frankly, and I don't think it actually has consensus at this point (it only ever passed with 74% support, less than that required to make someone an admin), but I recognize that we can't very well allow individual editors to question policy because they don't think it has consensus (WP:IAR aside).

So let me change my reasoning in this case: Dr. Evans appears to have some hundreds of Google hits (some of the 1,150 appear to be talking about another Myron Evans but most seem to be referring hto the man in question), he has 59 Google Scholar hits. He is not, of course, profoundly notable, but he's certainly modestly notable at least. My vote remains keep. —Simetrical (talk) 07:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. The prize and scholarship makes him notable, though I'd be happier if the article were more heavily focused on him, and if the section on his theory included language indicating that it's not widely accepted within the scientific community. -Colin Kimbrell 21:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Certainly, Evans is a classic crackpot. (Einstein and Cartan are rolling in their graves.) But is he even notable? The Harrison Memorial Prize and apparently indistinguishable Mendola Memorial Prize are awarded annually "to a British Chemist who is under 30 years of age for promising original investigations in chemistry", according to Royal Society of Chemistry list of prizes. Is this really a sufficiently notable prize? RSC lists a very long list of prizes at their website, check it out. ~~As for a scholarship, I dare say most commentators have recieved one of those at one time or another.~~ I have been utterly unable to verify the claims about affiliation with Cornell Theory Center, etc., although this is mentioned at a large number of websites like American Antigravity, Free Energy News whose reliability is... suspect :-) I did find however that Myron Evans is one of these charming fellows who likes to take legal action to discourage debunkers. Check this out: Myron Evans Censorship Rebuttal. The "AIAS" which Evans mentions is something called the Alpha Institute of Advanced Studies, an organization directed by himself. At least some of the prizes he claims on his C.V. appear to have been awarded by... AIAS! Hence the need for independent verification of alleged notability. The UW library does have three monographs coauthored by Myron Wyn Evans. All in all, it seems very clear that if we decide that Evans' contributions to chemistry are notable (I'd guess they are not, unless we want to have a biography of everyone who has coauthored a technical book, but I'm not a chemist), then the article needs to be rewritten to clarify the dubious nature of Evans's crackpot claims about free-energy and his so-called "theory".---CH 23:12, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I was using "scholarship" in the sense of "body of scholarly effort produced by an academic". In particular, I was referring to some of his books and papers. The article could stand a few edit sessions, there's no question about that, but I think a deletion might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. -Colin Kimbrell 00:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Colin, we might be getting off the track, but did you notice that your Google Scholar search includes papers from Evans own site which apparently have not been published? So evidently you must be cautious in using Google Scholar to verify claims in suspect WP articles: there is certainly no guarantee that what you turn up there is even referreed, much less appeared in a respectable research journal. (Even then, of course, as the Bogdanov affair shows, problems can arise.) Also, AFAIK there is no "Evans lemma in gtr" except in his mind, and I think I know the gtr literature pretty well. What are your standards for notability? Simply having published a scholarly book or some papers? I think we need to maintain a higher standard than that, while perhaps not setting the bar as high as Brittanica. Still, I don't think you've answered the question: I see evidence for the dirty bathwater, but where's the baby?---CH 00:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Some of those books and papers are self-published and/or self-referential, but others are legitimate (like this one, for example). The question is whether there are enough legitimate accomplishments remaining after a thorough sort to make Mr. Evans notable. I personally believe that there are, but of course you're free to differ. -Colin Kimbrell 19:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

In general, I'd like to see a higher standard of notability, but recognize that many do not agree. I can suggest a compromise solution for what to do with this article, although I hesitate to suggest it because I've had a bad experience in a similar context.

Question for all participants in this discussion: would you find it acceptable if some user were to rewrite the article to describe Evan's work in chemistry, which appears to be "mainstream" (it would be best if whoever does this were a chemist! or at least checks with a knowledgeable chemist), plus the Harrison Prize, followed by a brief WP:NPOV description of what I would call his "cranky" claims? It should be possible to briefly describe those claims in NPOV fashion, adding a dry disclaimer such as: this "theory" appears to be little known in physics, and is apparently regarded as cranky by those physicists who do know about it. (Whoever did this would probably want to omit the "scare quotes", but I can't bring myself to apply the word "theory" to these particular claims without qualification!) Keep the external links so that readers easily find both Evan's writings and critiques of his writings.

Assuming there is a consensus that this would be a reasonable compromise, someone could volunteer to make the changes. But probably only an admin should volunteer for this kind of content cleanup job!---CH 22:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe. First, I would want to know if Evans is actually notable as a chemist. If not, he may still be a notable crackpot, but in that case the article would have to focus on his theories, his efforts to promote them, and the scientific community's view of his work. In other words, if he is notable, the article should focus on discussing whatever it is that makes him notable.

I don't see why you think it would be necessary or even helpful for an admin to do this. Admins are not that different from ordinary editors.--Srleffler 23:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with this comment. If he is notable - for whatever reason, including being a notable crackpot or controversial theorist - he deserves an article. The quality of the article is not really relevant; there is sufficent content and AfD is not cleanup. I simply don't see enough to convince me that he is notable. His tendency to self publish and self award actually works against him here, because it makes it difficult to separate out his actual accomplishments. The Harrison Memorial award seems to be significant, but it isn't clear to me that it is important enough by itself to justify an article. ManoaChild 20:53, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, that's why I suggested obtaining confirmation from a neutral chemist that Evans could reasonably be considered notable for his chemistry work. Again tending to want to set the notability bar higher than some, I doubt Evans should be notable purely as a crank, since the only references I could find to his "theory" were on crank websites, which I suspect are very little known except to the tiny tiny minority of freelunchers. However, I am searching for a compromise with Colin, so while I myself would not include a biography of Evans, including one emphasizing his mainstream(?) work at the expense of his obscure crackpottery still seems to me an acceptable compromise.---CH 12:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

The problem with the re-write proposed by CH, is the amount of watching, reverting, RfCing, RFAring (and sobbing) which is needed to keep it this way. Look at our fine perpetuum mobiles at Adams Motor, Motionless Electrical Generator, or Testatika. The antigravity department at Hutchinson effect and Lifter. Theory department at Scalar field theory, Autodynamics, Hydrino theory, Electric Universe. O.K. most of them seem to be under control in the moment. But they are always a threat to Wikipedia's reputability [7].

Pjacobi 13:31, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

CH's suggestion sounds like a good idea to me. -Colin Kimbrell 21:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Rowan

Got here from Special:Lonelypages, and I can't find any verification that this person exists. (ESkog)^(Talk) 05:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete as hoax, possibly meriting a speedy. Zero relevant Google hits for "'Ben Rowan' Australia." The article's ambiguous statement "Ben studied art in America he attended the famous Art School in Westport, Connecticut." is suspicious for its vagueness. I found three art schools in Westport, CT: one in dance, one in music, and one for children.[11] There was a Westport Art School which appears to be long defunct. The most recent reference I can locate is 1960. [12] There is no longer any fine arts program in Westport, CT. [13] The hazy chronology suggests that he studied art sometime after 1968. I should add that the article claims Czechoslovakian heritage but the name is Irish. Durova 08:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete. Unless people put hoaxes in their Deviant Art profile, I think this artist may exist. Unfortunately, the whole things is not verifiable. Is there a Wiki Art project we can refer this to? - Mgm|^(talk) 13:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- I wouldn't consider DeviantART much of a source when it comes to verifying the facts or existance of someone. Anyone can set up an account in seconds and write pretty much anything. I'm listed as someone's favourite photographer there too, but that doesn't mean I'm really recognised as a photography professional. DA is a great site, and a lot of fun to use and browse, but shouldn't be used to verify information. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Double check those four hits at Deviant Art. They don't refer to an artist by this name. They're just incidental occurrences of Ben and Rowan in the same work. None of them are in the medium that this article claims is Ben Rowan's primary work. Durova 18:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand. By saying that this entry should be deleted you're saying that high school entries should not be included in wikipedia??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarfingle (talk • contribs) 2005 December 16

No. Wikipedia should host articles on notable subjects with verified importance and relevancy. That means if the school has a relevant history or notable ex-alumni then it stays. The AFDs should be directed to those schools which are only locally relevant,i.e., don't hold a relevant history or never produced verifiably notable alumni --Mecanismo | Talk 12:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Catchpole is voting to delete all schools as a "counterweight" to those who want to keep schools. [15] Silensor 19:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history ma
Keep, no reason readers shouldn't be able to look up information on important things like high schools, whereever they are in the world. Kappa 16:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You are right. Yet, the key word is "important". If a subject is verifiably important, notable and relevant outside a local scale then it is worthy of an encyclopedia article. If the subject doesn't fill those demands, it should be left out --Mecanismo | Talk 12:56, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Why should people donate to an encyclopedia promising them the sum of human knowledge but denying them access to information they regard as important? Kappa 01:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

First of all, no one has ever promissed the "sum of human knowledge". Second, because they are investing their money in the creation of an encyclopedia and not a directory listing. An encyclopedia is dedicated to verifiably notable and referenciable knowledge. If someone wants the "sum of human knowledge" that person is better off investing in google, for example --Mecanismo | Talk 01:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not consistant. Arguments of "We have articles on those insignificant things, so we must have an article on this insignificant thing" are very wrong in my opinion. This isn't Wikipedia being American-centric; being a candidate in any location is the same. Friday (talk) 14:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- If being a candidate in any location is the same, then candidates in any location should actually be treated the same when their articles show up on Wikipedia. But they're not. Unelected Canadian candidates get AFD'd; unelected American candidates get kept. "We have articles on those insignificant things, so we must have an article on this insignificant thing" is a blatant mischaracterization of the real issue; it's more accurately described as "these two things of precisely equal significance to each other are being treated differently from each other based on some criterion not communicated in Wikipedia guidelines". It's entirely understandable in such circumstances that some people might suspect the mystery criterion to be "American vs. not-American". Bearcat 19:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment. American legislative candidates are different from Canadian ones because the American political system emphasizes individual candidates rather than parties. Please see Wikipedia_talk:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates for more discussion. -- Mwalcoff 23:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
    - That's not what was stated in the comment I was responding to; Friday's exact words were "being a candidate in any location is the same". Bearcat 20:50, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete First off, not all candidates are equal. As a denizen, I can elucidate that running for the NDP means the candidate has no chance whatsoever to get anywhere close to being elected. The NDP prides itself (and why not) on running candidates in every national riding, but frequently must resort to nn students and the like, since in no-hope ridings like, oh say, every single riding in Quebec, few else can be bothered. Some seem to be putting the cart before the horse with respect to the notabilty of these candidates. Running for election because an individual has achieved notability is one thing, and certainly a number of candidates who lose are, in other respects, notable. But running for office, in and of itself, is not grounds for establishing notability. Finally, shame on any Canadians who hide behind systematic bias as a basis for inclusion. That is unworthy. Eusebeus 17:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- The NDP does have MP's in the House of Commons, and IMHO those people do deserve articles. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 19:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Some of your arguments violate Wikipedia policies. First, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, you don't know who is going to win. Second, Wikipedia:No original research it is not up to a Wikipedian to decide who has a chance at winning. --maclean25 00:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Anyone who wins is worth an entry. As to the points made by maclean25, it's clear the NDP will win no seats in Quebec, ask anyone with even passing familiarity. I agree with you about crytsal ball and all that, but in this case, c'est voyons donc, 'stie calisse!
Merge with whatever article is going to be created listing all the federal candidates in the Jan. 23 election. If and when he wins, then he becomes notable and gets an article of his own. 23skidoo 20:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge to the NDP candidate list, if there's one. -- p_b1999 ^{(Talk|Contribution)} 02:29, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge, the reason we are here, and in the other candidate a f d s, is because Wikipedia does not have a clear policy to deal with these cases. WP:BIO just doesn't clearly deal with these situations. It is a guideline and not a hard-and-fast regulation. The candidates are in the middle of their 15 minutes of fame. Right now they are big news (locally and in Canada), people want to know about them, and they want to tell people about themselves. However, the vast majority will disappear in a few weeks. Therefore, I support the mergist's solution, like that of 23skidoo and p_b1999. Convert these articles to redirects to the list of small bios. If an article pops up, just revert to the redirect (don't let it linger for 5 days in afd). --maclean25 03:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete or Merge. I really don't understand the argument that candidates of major parties deserve their own articles simply by virtue of running for election, given that in this particular case, this guy's only apparent claim to fame once the election is over is that "he is an avid enthusiast of the Metro". I agree with maclean25's comments. Skeezix1000 19:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
The "merged candidate list" solution creates problems of its own, but to date it's the only workable solution anybody has found to balance some people's concerns about the notability of unelected candidates against other people's equally strong concerns that selective inclusion constitutes a political bias. So...merge. Bearcat 20:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep or Merge. An NDP candidate in francophone Québec is a bit of a stretch in terms of a serious candidate. But I don't think delete is the answer. Nfitz 21:55, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Okay, after three elections, not merge but keep Nfitz 00:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

  - Nice call - what a nasty , self-promo, makes your skin crawl vanity page that is! It's pages like that surviving deletion review that make you despair about Wikipedia! Neufeld needs to be relisted for deletion, particularly in light of the current spate of candidate articles being tossed out. Eusebeus 14:16, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Back on afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grant Neufeld --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 01:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
    - I strongly oppose a merge because he has run in three elections, and it will make it confusing for those who click his name from another election. Not to mention other candidate lists for other elections. You cant redirect to more than one page. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
      - Why would redirect to multiple pages be necessary? Frankly, after the election I think the redirects from mainspace articles, like Matthew McLauchlin or Grant Neufeld, should be deleted because after the election the list loses it proactive nature in preventing election ads. There doesn't seem to be a problem of them popping up between elections. As for the internal wikilinks, they would need to be made in context of the discussion, to not wikilink to a redirect. For interest sake: Category:Candidates for the Canadian House of Commons. --maclean25
    - Comment. (Re: Eusebeus' comment above). Just a clarification that the article on me was not posted because of my past status as a candidate. Some still think of it as unacceptable vanity (which is being debated yet again), but it's not an article "about an unelected candidate". --GrantNeufeld 04:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aaron Arvey

Originally tagged as CSD A1 as this was a blank article. However, checking the history revealed that the content had been blanked, and not by the original author. The claims to notability are weak, but are there none the less, so I don't think it's a CSD A7 article and I can't prove it's vanity either. However, I suspect it is vanity and the weak notability claim ("some believe his work... has been called by many..."} don't wash with me. Delete CLW 10:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Muladonna

If you're here because of a request from an external website:

Please understand that this is not a vote; it is a discussion. Multiple comments by very new users that fail to provide evidence are highly likely to be discounted by the closing administrator. Many Wikipedians have been known to react unfavorably to attempts to alter the course of a nomination in this manner, and may in fact recommend to delete based upon it. If you wish to prevent this article from being deleted, the way to do so is to provide verifiable evidence.

- What is this, some sort of test? Are you bored students? Melchoir 12:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong Delete - If you're a Branch Davidian, that's one thing - but a church that is made up by a single family and its friends really doesn't belong on Wikipedia, instead you should consider getting your own website, even muladonna.com or something. Worth noting that Muladonna is the name of "the ultimate hero in the universe" in the manga comic series Ultra Maniac. Also note that a string of edits appears to all be the same person, signing different names since 202.7.183.131 'Joseph' went back and edited 211.26.121.8 'Aaron's post, and the man formerly signing "Kawasaki" is now saying " I heard aobut this the other day, cool." pretending to be another internet user Sherurcij ^{(talk) (bounties)} 12:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: The only reference I can find on Google points back to Wikipedia --> Ultra Maniac

"Muladonna is the ultimate hero of the universe in which the second rate drama is set. Muladonna takes the form of both male and female seemingly at will. Muladonna is also able to manipulate the world in any way and is the mortal enemy of The Dog Faced Woman." Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 12:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Bored students? Why the hell would we invent a religion then. We'd be out sassing adults and getting to third base. Kids aren't as stupid as you give them credit for! some people are just stupid, like arron. He's just trying to help. I heard about this in Barcelona, and decided to spread it over here, it's not only a family thing.

*Comment - would it be fair to point out that your "devout followers" seem to be messing up their 'bastardisation' of the Islamic Peace be upon him, sometimes inserting after the deity's name (as per Islam), and sometimes not remembering it until the end of a sentence, or paragraph?

the page is being editied by myself and a friend, we are different in our opinions of the religion, so we sometimes have conflicts. If you would stop harrassing, we could probably work that out 12:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)MagneticUnderlay

Y'know, for a free, user-editable encyclopedia, you are very close minded. Why not allow it, even modifying it slightly to say it is not verified yet. MagneticUnderlay 12:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yet? Judging from the behavior of its supporters, this article will never be verified. Wikipedia may be free, but it does not need to tolerate nonsense. Melchoir 12:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

True, and i'll admit that many of my comrades are a little silly about supporting. But as i said, i know of a site that will offer support once it exists properly, and i can request that many people begin a tributary on Myspace pages and the like. MagneticUnderlay 12:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Get attention in legitimate news sources (by doing community service work, etc.). Wikipedia needs to see that a religion has a public presence.

This is a hoax! PatGallacher 11:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I will expand on this. This article is a complete fabrication, I suspect it was loosely inspired by an April Fool which appeared in The Scotsman a few years ago. There are not and never have been any Scottish Gaelic creoles in the Caribbean or Central America. The Darién scheme, the Scottish settlement at Darien in Central America, was a short-lived affair which had no long-term impact on that region, and most of the colonists were Lowlanders who would not have spoken Gaelic anyway.

POV-fork of both Coinage of the Republic of Ireland and British coinage. Along with Coins of Ireland, created by a user with a revisionist agenda, content is entirely duplicated and un-needed. Kiand 12:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Lapsed Pacifist 19:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment unless it can be shown that this article can exist in its own right as a substantial article, then delete. This material has no place in a Republic of Ireland article (so merging is pointless) because they are two separate jurisdictions also as it is simply about private pattern coins which have no more legal tender status than bottle tops - they are coins only in so far as they are metal disks. Djegan 19:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Ulster and the Republic of Ireland are not mutually exclusive, DJ.
- Comment unless we are acting dumb then we know that "Ulster" means "Northern Ireland" in this context. In any case neither ever produced its own official coinage. Djegan 19:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I fear some of us have no need to act. Why should there be any confusion over Ulster? There was no "Northern Ireland" statelet when John de Courcy issued coinage. Lapsed Pacifist 19:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment You have got me this time LP, but in any case you do not create a article for the words "There was a series of baronial coins issued by John de Courcy, Earl of Ulster. Current details of these coins are not yet available". If anything it should be merged to Coins of Ireland. As for the private patterns their still as worthless as bottle tops.

[edit] Ulster did have their own coins.

As I have stated in the article, Ulster did have their own coins. They were a baronial issue that was issued by John de Courcy. That is more reason of why it should not be merged into Coins of Ireland. - (Aidan Work 01:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC))

Keep. The historical coinage of the island is not the coinage of one part of it. It seems to me that Coins of Ireland (without the full stop) should cover coins from historical times until 1921, and then stop. Coinage of the Republic of Ireland can commence from 1921, albeit that it includes the Free State and Ireland/Éire phases. "Coinage of Ulster" is a nonsense - either they are pre-partition "Coinage of Ireland" or post partition "Coinage of the Republic of Ireland" and "Coin (sic) of Northern Ireland" (the only coin is one version of the £1 coin, I think). --Red King 00:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Google Watch Watch

not sure who nominated this. It wasn't me. But see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Watch for a comparative article

Delete - I am not sure how this one got nominated, but there we go. I don't think that this is notable at all, and all of the information can be included in Google Watch (indeed I think that all of it already has been). http://www.google-watch-watch.org/ is a 1 page article. It is solely made to document why Chris Beasley feels that Daniel Brandt was wrong to criticise him and wrong to criticise google. It is not a web site - it is an article. It has been in existence for what 2 years now and has not ever gone beyond being 1 single solitary page, whose sole aim is to counter a criticism made by Brandt against Beasley. Indeed, not only should this article be deleted off Wikipedia, but I really don't see the point in google-watch-watch even existing as a domain name. What a waste of $10/year domain name fees! He should have just written a post on a forum and be done with it. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 12:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Celtic dragon

There is no such thing. All the accurate content (which is not much) is already covered on Welsh dragon, Historia Britonum, and Welsh mythology. Googling on "celtic dragon" throws up many jewelry designs, much artwork, and a Celtic Dragon Tarot pack and nothing about Welsh dragons, Merlin, Dinas Emrys or remotely related topics, so I don't see any reason to redirect anywhere. Of the 14 edits to the page, 11 have already been deleted. Delete the rest. Telsa 12:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Y Ddraig Goch. --Alf ^melmac 12:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: there are one or two references to Celtic dragons involving "the original Gaelic", which suggest Wales (which doesn't speak Gaelic) does not have the monopoly on Celticism: example here -- this one is an academic publisher clearly referring to Scotland. This is why in my original nomination I argued against the redirect to a page about the Welsh one and why I'm still against a misleading redirect and in favour of just deleting it. --Telsa 16:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- It seems to be a common term, even if it's mostly used incorrectly, and would be a shame to delete and leave nothing there. If you understand what the topic well enough to write a 1 sentence stub, just one that says it a design related to, distinct from, but often confused for the Y Ddraig Goch, that would be spectacular. Otherwise, I too prefer deletion to redirect. ×Meegs 21:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

If I may say, you did set this page up in order to put a link on your homepage saying "There is a Wikipedia article about me!", and you were deliberately misleading as to your achievements in an attempt at self-promotion. You then spuriously linked yourself to all sorts of pages which have little to do with you - for example are you REALLY a "famous resident" of your home county or town? And does the entry for the leader of the opposition in the UK REALLY need a link to you just because you once worked for him when he was a less important MP? And does the entry on "Abdication" REALLY need a link to you just because you have written a book with the word "abdication" in the title? I could go on - you contrived to post at least 15 links to yourself. This isn't really what Wikipedia is about - it is called vanity Alex and you should be ashamed. --213.121.207.34 09:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Retain Despite whatever beginnings this page has, other authors have contributed edits and the subject is pushy enough to do more in his life - see Michael Gove for a possible future. Regardless of the "abstention" it is clear that 213.121.207.34 has more of a problem with Deane than the article itself. The number of revisions (and later reversions by others) of this user's edits in respect of not only Deane but Tim Collins and David Cameron is curious to put it mildly.

- It isn't about an expression at all. It's an "are not!"/"are too!" article about the relative merits of the U.S. Air Force versus the other branches of the military. Uncle G 03:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I don't have a binary keep/delete recommendation but this does remind me a bit of all the ruckus over Islamofascism (term). Maybe some lessons can be learned from that, even if I'm not entirely sure what they are. That article starts with "Islamofascism" is a controversial term used by some commentators to refer to... Would rewriting Chair force along these lines make the article more acceptable? I honestly don't know, I never heard the term until today and don't know anything about it. - Haukur 19:59, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete per all above and padlock as likely vandalism magnet. B.Wind 01:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
This is not an article about a phrase at all. It's an article about the relative merits of the various branches of the U.S. military. Such an article probably could be written. I am confident that one could find sources discussing that subject if one looked, sources more serious than Tom Lehrer, even. But this article isn't it. For one thing, this article has a title that strongly advocates one side of the debate, and thus contravenes our Neutral Point of View policy. We don't have our comparison of operating systems article under the titles Microsloth Windows or Loonix, for example. Since this article had turned into an original research magnet by its fourth edit, there's nothing to save here, so renaming the article to a neutral title isn't worthwhile. We might as well delete and start from scratch with a neutral title. Uncle G 03:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I have nominated this entry for deletion since it is IMHO a vanity page. Thatte is a surname in India.

[edit] African American leftism

Subject is not noteworthy in and of itself and material that might come here would be more appropriate in another article like Left-wing politics or some simialr page .TDC 19:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. TDC 19:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep yes it is. --Revolución (talk) 19:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The article makes the claim of notability, and I don't see why it wouldn't be. It's a stub, for sure, and needs expansion, but it's a good subject. rodii 20:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete per nom. --JW1805 (Talk) 21:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep but find a better name if possible. There's no denying that African-Americans have been a significant bloc within liberal politics. Designation for this ethnic group is not arbitrary, given historical and cultural conditions within the United States. An article identifying these people is a research tool. A corresponding list of African-Americans in conservative politics would also be encyclopedic. Durova 22:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's a better name than Black leftism in my opinion because it's less ambiguous about regions. This is about African Americans , however, if I were to call it black leftism it would also have to cover leftism in other parts of the world. Those that oppose this article should put black conservatism up for deletion because black leftism is way more common and deserves an article more. --Revolución (talk) 22:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  - It's more the leftism that's problematic for me. Isn't the corollary to conservatism normally liberalism? Durova 23:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Liberalism is very ambiguous. I think "leftism" is more specific. --Revolución (talk) 00:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
      - I know that liberalism means different things in different parts of the world, but this is an article about African American liberals. Thus using liberalism in the American sense is fine. Move to African American liberalism, and if there isn't a companion article on African American conservatism, make one. "Leftist" is a snarl-term for many in the US. Firebug 04:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Leftist is a serious term for anyone on the left. I oppose a move to African American liberalism for the reason that Angela Davis and others on the list are more to the left than many "liberals". --Revolución (talk) 05:48, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Durova/Revolución, the meaning of "liberalism" depends on where you live and whether youre talking about social or economic matters. "Leftist" has connotations of "hard left" for me. Left-wingers/right-wingers would be non-ambiguous for all? Jameswilson 01:42, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep per WP:MUSIC, References, and Google results (I won't list everything, but the info is easy to find). This person seems to be a national success in his area of music, and has some following internationally abroad (though restricted to his ethnic group). Also, admittedly the article was (and still is) very poorly worded, but that can be addressed. I could understand the nomination, if the nominator indicated they looked at all this information, and felt he still failed WP:MUSIC (reasonable people can differ on that, as measuring success in a small country is trickier than measuring it for the US), but the nomination seems to be utterly oblivious to WP:MUSIC which is what we should be discussing. I may be wrong about the artist meeting WP:MUSIC but I'm certain WP:MUSIC should be the basis of discussion and not whether the article is/was "badly written, orphan and uncategorized". --Rob 14:07, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  - I disagree. If somebody knowledgable/interested (e.g. familiar with this music scene) doesn't clean it up properly, then anybody can simply replace it quickly with a a 2-3 line stub, leaving behind the links, stub tag, and category. There's no need/purpose for deletion.

[edit] Omega Redd

The only information that checks out about this alleged hip hop artist (albeit only according to Google) is that someone named "Omega Redd" exists (see quote below). None of the other information I checked - about the robbery of Allen Strong, his radio singles, etc. - come up. His alleged altercation with high-profile hip hop artist Jay-Z is particularly suspect, as it would have appeared in the media.

The overall tone of this article is in equal parts self-laudatory and absurd. This article was first posted anonymously, and it's earliest versions are even more fraught with "gangster" mythology - Omega Redd's arrests for violent crime, penning lyrics while in prison, an arrest for murder and subsequent (short) bid in prison, release from prison and recording an album, arrest for grand larceny, etc.

Finally, the only on-line description I could find of Omega Redd, from norecordlabel.com [32]:Omega Redd and Rebelz Of Treble Recordz hail the grimey streets of Buffalo New York. A young cat with unmatchable flavor first set out at the early age of 9 to become an essential asset to the rap game. 7 years later, with his skill level highly developed, he takes on and tackles all forms of rap, from gangsta to battle, and crushes the competition. With enough said, let the music speak for itself. Danspalding 23:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

One of the wealthiest women in her native country, Ms. Lee was outgoing and once had her own Web site offering Koreans a glimpse into her life as a child of privilege. It became so popular, she had to shut it down. And at least one Web site about her was created by her admirers.
On that basis, it seems like she should be kept, but it was not mentioned why she was so popular. However, I don't see how she passes any of the criteria set in WP:BIO. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cercarial dermatitis

this page is redundant with respect to a recently created, more detailed page on swimmer's itch. Moreover, in its original form it erroneously stated that cercarial dermatitis to be a mild form of schistosomiasis. While, technically, "cercarial dermatitis" may refer to both the mild dermatological symptoms of an otherwise serious disease caused by parasites of humans (Schistosoma) and the benign, short-lived symptoms caused by other schistosomes that do not successfully infect humans, it is useful to reserve the term for only one of the conditions, which have distinct etiologies. Arga Warga 19:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, we don't need two articles, but I would redirect, not delete. But, if cercarial dermatitis is the medical term, should we merge the (vastly superior) swimmer's itch article here and create a redirect there, instead? -- Vary 20:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Please read the article before responding.

Keep - I have no problem with the term. Anti-Christianity does not merely apply to Satanism (although that is probably its most direct form) and can apply to some segments of atheism, agnostics, and even other religions such as extremes of islam and paganism. It can also have a general view. Whilst the article needs some kind of a cleanup, I see no reason not to allow the term to be used. There is a definite Anti-Christianity ideology, which is vastly different to merely "criticism of christianity". Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Veracity

Does not meet Wikipedia standards for music notability]] Esprit15d 20:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Absolutely untrue! Veracity was one of the most noteworthy up-and-coming New England bands over the past five years. They were featured in The Stamford Advocate newspaper and various other publications. More importantly, its members have gone on to even bigger and more famous projects (see The Pizza War, currently being made into a movie!) KeithAllen 20:32, 16 December 2005

Veracity is awesome, here at fordham they are HUGE! - Michael Riordan, Fordham

Do what you will, Wikipedia, and I'll live with it. But in my opinion your "Music notability standers" hinder the very goal of this great site. Just because a band didn't appear on MTV, does that mean they didn't exist and have a legacy and impact in the music world? I think that is a very naive way to judge artists and it detracts from what this site could offer to the music community. -Keith

[edit] 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers

Previously AfD'd; result was merge; merge delayed, since completed. Tom Harrison ^(talk) 16:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

comment: Some discussion can be found here at Talk:9/11 conspiracy theories#September 11, 2001 researchers. Tom Harrison ^(talk) 16:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: There are two articles of similar title: 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers, and 9/11 conspiracy theories. Also, September 11 researchers redirects to 9/11 conspiracy theories. All of this should, in my opinion, be merged into one article. I prefer "9/11 conspiracy theories" as the lump-in article. --Durin 17:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- That works for me; I think that was the recommendation of the Previous AfD. The content then at September 11, researchers was to be merged into 9/11 conspiracy theories. That never happened, and the articles developed for a while as different versions of the same topic. I found it a few weeks ago and finished the merge, but there is a question now whether September 11 researchers should be kept, since it has developed independently since the last AfD. That's not my view, so I would prefer someone else present that case. I think the content at 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers should be merged into 9/11 conspiracy theories, and that 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers should then be deleted. Tom Harrison ^(talk) 18:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, because the merge recommended by the previous deletion has been completed. I think I need to make some things clear as well, since Durin and Tom are obviously unaware of some things that I did:
- In response to the consensus favouring a merge after the last discussion, I tagged September 11 researchers for a merge with 9/11 conspiracy theories.
- When nothing happened, I moved the article to 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 researchers, to make it clear that it was there only temporarily and could be deleted once the merge was complete.
- The merging recommended above by Durin has already been completed.

Ingoolemo ^talk 19:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge - Yeah the 9/11 conspiracy theories bit at least recognises the Saddam Hussein theory. I said it was Saddam Hussein from the moment the planes flew in, and I don't get why people think its so hard to believe. The 9/11 one mentions it, whilst this other one doesn't. That theory should be expanded a fair bit though. Oh, also, I saw no mention of anti-globalisation terrorist group S11 being a theory. They were widely blamed, and the group was totally destroyed as a result. Oh and don't forget China. China had a motive to do it, so as to destroy the American economy to precipitate an invasion at a later date. After all, China was very annoyed at America then after they had shot down one of China's spy planes, and China is America's biggest challenge to world dominance, and the most likely country to take over control. These 2 theories do need to be mentioned. But since I personally believe the Saddam Hussein theory, I think that that needs to be explored an awful lot more than it is.Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 22:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep and Move! The results of the old VFD wasn't even a clear concensus, and the listings have grown and become a lot more detailed since then. For example, it now includes physicist Steven Jones. The 9/11 conspiracy theories article is way too long at 76 KB, so there's no good reason for the list not to be split off as a separate article (not a section or a subpage). I propose that it be moved to Researchers questioning the official account of 9/11, as this is an NPOV title, and it also avoids the concerns that some had about the old "September 11 researchers" title. This title makes it clear that it's a listing of researchers with a common basic position about 9/11 which questions the official account. Blackcats 23:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Super Strong Keep with Strawberry on top and Move agree 100% with above, move to Researchers questioning the official account of 9/11. --Striver 23:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

keep: The Wiki is all about dissemination of knowledge, not the suppression thereof. That said, the articlle title needs revision to delete the loaded term conspiracy, which in this case amounts to discounting the credibility of researcers. Ombudsman 00:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep but modify - the researchers are not the notable part of this endeavor: their hypotheses and conjectures are. I'd strongly suggest replacing their biographies with their conclusions about 9/11 as the conclusions are much more relevant to the rest of the article. B.Wind 00:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep and Move I have to agree with an above comment that the 9/11 conspiracy theories article is too long at over 76 KB. I also think that the list should be split off as a separate article (not a section or a subpage). It seems inappropriate to have this list set into the middle of the article. I also think that it should be moved to Researchers questioning the official account of 9/11, which is a good NPOV title. Everyday there are more researchers joining the 9/11 truth movement and getting the courage to speak up, particuarly academics, like Steven Jones. I would expect that this section on the researchers will only grow.Bov 07:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I discovered my 8-year old daughter reading this page and giggling this afternoon. This article is both unencyclopediac and obscene, and is completely unsuitable for a reference library. Wikipedia was one of the few sites that I allow my children to visit, but with articles like this it will soon be added to the blocked list as well. Please remove this disgusting content at once so that my family may again make use of your valuable resource. Sincerely, Bruce Thompson Bruce176 21:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not censored for content, and (unfortunately) this is a notable and well documented sex act (although perhaps only an urban legend). Have we set up a kid-safe sister project? BD2412 T 21:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This so-called "notable sex act" by your own admission does not even exist; it is nothing but a lascivious and pornographic fantasy. Also the article is obscene and violates community standards. Therefore it has no place in any sort of encyclopedia and should be deleted. By including pornography this site loses value as a research tool, which harms the very children who stand to learn the most from it. Bruce176
- Dragons and vampires don't exist either, but we have articles on them. Our primary mission is to document everything that is notable in every field, including concepts expressed in popular culture. Besides, even if we delete marginal topics like this, what about clearly legitimate topics of anatomical, psychological, and sociological inquiry like coprophilia, autofellatio, cunnilingus, orgasms, ejaculation, and bestiality? How about Satanism and Nazi propaganda? NAMBLA? The GNAA? Once we exclude content for being objectionable, there is no effective drawing of the line. BD2412 T 22:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Wikipedia is not censored. Rhobite 22:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ - cleaning up obscene content is not censorship. If this encyclopedia is to aspire to compete with Britannica it will need to remove the gross-out articles first. Bruce176
- I don't think you understand the meaning of censorship. Sexual acts are part of the human experience and must therefore be recorded in a encyclopedia that seeks to provide coverage of known facets of existence. Deleting something because of a subjective "gross-out" to it is silly in an enyclopedia that also aspires to be impartial. Keep. --Apostrophe 22:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep- and KEEP your 8 year old off of the internet, if you are worried. Culturally relevant.
Strong keep with respect for the nominator and his legitimate concerns as a parent. From WP:NOT, "Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors." This is a case of inadequate parental monitoring. I recommend to Mr. Thompson that he check the official policies of all sites he allows his children to visit. Wikipedia posts this prominently as official policy. There are many articles on this site that I personally find disgusting. This is one. I exercise my right to avoid them. My personal standards of decency are not universal. Near the top of today's debate is another topic some people find indecent: Gay rights in Iraq. I am glad such articles exist. If I knew a gay person who planned to travel to one of these countries, these references might make the difference between a pleasant trip and criminal prosecution. It's a slippery slope. Parental control software exists to address specific family standards. Durova 22:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

~~Strong delete~~ Some content is simply inappropriate for this forum and detracts from the usefulness of the site. This page and many of the others cited fall into this category and should be purged. If any of you perverts are ever fortunate enough to find an adult female who is willing to sleep with you and bear your children (doubtful), you'll understand why it is so important that the internet's key resources remain free of obscene content and graphic depictions of sexual and bodily functions.

I suppose she could have clicked "Random article" and found it, though the odds are 1 in 868,488.

~~Delete~~ A simple search for the word "Cleveland" will find this page, as will "recent changes", "random page", etc. Randomly flipping to the middle of an encyclopedia, as a curious child may do, should NOT produce a prurient article with no redeeming value such as this one. Bruce176
- A simple search for "Cleveland" in the search box redirects you to Cleveland, Ohio. That page didn't have a change on it since the 14th until you marked it for deletion, which makes it impossible for your daughter to have seen it this afternoon on Recent Changes, because it would have long since scrolled off.

I'm a somewhat surprising person Howcheng, my esteemed deletionist colleague. You may not believe this, but the mental wellbeing of children and young Wikipedia editors is one of the key factors that guides my voting. One glance at this excretory ode told me that delete was the only sensible response. Could I sleep at night knowing I was contributing to the future psychological trauma of legions of 8 year olds across the English speaking world? I think not.

MUST KEEP: Slang is an integral part of our lexicon. It fosters the evolution of our language. Without a recorded record of word explications and samples of usage, the word (expression) would cease to be used meaningfully and therefore corrupt the use of the English language into dialects meaningless, in this case, outside of Cinncinati.

Comment I should add that deleting this article, and even removing all others like it, would not protect the nominator's daughter from finding equally offensive content on this site.

~~Strong Delete~~ Wikipedia needs to enforce community standards on its site so as not to become a cesspool of obscenity and filth like much of the rest of the internet. If that means reviewing all additions and edits before they are live, so be it. Clearly, the project is large enough to afford the manpower needed to do so. Bruce176
- Comment - Wikipedia does not have community standards of morality, because Wikipedia is not a community, it is an encyclopedia. "Community standards" are inherently WP:POV, thus violating the neutral point of view policy established for Wikipedia. If you wish to discuss a change to this policy, WP:AFD is not the place for it.

[edit] Serbophobia

Unfinished nomination. mikka (t) 21:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete. According to the article, the word has been used twice. The article itself isn't terrible, though, and the useful information in it should probably go somewhere. Jkelly 23:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep - Looking at the history of this page, I suspect (and apologies if I'm wrong) that the nominator has a POV agenda. Jameswilson 03:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep - Dado nominated the article for deletion because "the side who started this article has not presented valid claims and/or answered the issues raised on the discussion page". However, he doesn't state what are the issues. Claim that serbophobia can not be characterized as psychological disorder (phobia) is answered by the fact that the article does not characterise it that way (see Talk:Serbophobia#Disputed). Claim that the term is not notable is answered by presenting some 1500 Google hits in various languages, and showing that, comparatively, it is used as much as russophobia (see Talk:Serbophobia#Not Notable / Neologism). Claim that there is no definition was answered by providing a source with a definition (see Talk:Serbophobia#Sources; definition referred to can be found f.e. in [40]). Claim that the term is neologism is answered by finding a reference to its use in 1986 (after the nomination, though I found the reference before; see Talk:Serbophobia#Neologism). Nikola 04:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - See Talk:Serbophobia#Disputed. I have raised several issues and no one has responded to those issue. In fact few have outright ignored them by reverting suggested edits. In addition to my comments on the talk page, the claim "Serbian Writers Association also organized a meeting on February 28, 1989 with the theme of "Serbophobia" that discussed Croatian genocide of Serbs" fails to note that around same time Serbian nationalism (as other nationalisms) in the Balkans was on the rise and portraying Serbs as victims of phobia was one of the tools to raly Serbian nation into Yugoslav Wars that followed. In fact the article as it currently read does a very similar thing. Ironicaly, most victims of Serbophobia in last 20 years were non-Serbs. I don't see this article being able to overcome these problems while it is obvious that its purpose is to continue the politics of spreading fear among Serbian people and non-Serbs as a reflex to former, and as such presents an article of no value or even damaging to Wikipedia. --Dado 05:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Dado makes a good point; but I am generally against deletion of articles. They should be, rather, improved. If we would delete every disputable article, there would be less than 10 wiki articles alltogether :))) HolyRomanEmperor 14:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. This word does not deserve an article of its own, it’s a term devised for explicitly political purposes during the late 80s and early 90s. It can not be compared to "Russophobia" or "Islamophobia" because both of these deal with prevalent general social attitudes against ethnic and religious groups based on their culture and heritage. The term Serbophobia, on the other hand, is used virtually exclusively in a political context, in either an accusatory manner or as a justification. To say that it is "comparatively" as common as the term "Russophobia" is ridiculous, and based on some shady calculation certain users made involving army size and GDP. A simple Google search shows that the term "Russophobia" is far, far more common than "Serbophobia". Of the results that do show up on Google, I think they adequately manifest the nature of this term and exactly why it does not belong on Wikipedia. Of the initial 10 results that come up on the first page:

The #1 result is the respective Wikipedia article

2 come from a radical right political site

6 of them come from the same two Serbian political writers and analysts.

1 comes from a book on Serbian propaganda efforts during the late 80s and early 90s

If this all wasn't enough, the single legitimate source provided has been completely misinterpreted. The quote reads as follows: "Furthering this incipient nation-fever was the extraordinary memorandum issued to the public in 1986 by the prestigious Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, condemning the perceived presence of "Serbophobia" in the central government of Yugoslavia." The use of this as a reference for some traditional use of the term would be fine and dandy if the word wasn’t placed in quotes; but it is. This is because the author views the term with skepticism and questions its validity, implying (just as Dado mentioned) that the word was used by Serb officials to drum up support amongst the populace for their nationalist policies. I challenge any neutral observer to read the context of the word, notice the tone of the passage, read the preceding paragraphs, and not reach the same conclusion as I did[41]. Asim Led 06:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC).

- Asim, you are trying to mislead people. The quote was given as evidence that the word was used in 1986 and so is not a neologism, not as evidence that it is valid.
- For use of the word in various contexts by non-Serbian authors you may refer to Serbophobia#Use in various languages. Nikola 10:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. HolyRomanEmperor 14:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Should we have articles about words that don't really exist and are only (rarely) used by pro-Serb political commentators? Thats what the source you provided argues, and I have to say no. A delete is favorable at this point. Asim Led 18:24, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Asim Led makes a good point here; and if not for my general disliking of plain deletion of articles; I would most definately vote "Strong delete". It is to my opinion that articles have to be improved rather. Additionally; this article should belong to the wiki dictionary, rather then here if it's nothing more then a term... HolyRomanEmperor 12:03, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong delete. I think, this is a pathetic "article" based on well-known Serb nationalistic propaganda. The word "serbofobia" or similar word constructions were used by Serb war criminals to justify their war crimes during the war in Yugoslavia e.g. Ratko Mladić, Biljana Plavšić, Slobodan Milošević...--Emir Arven 09:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Could you point to a quote by any of them where they do so? Regardless, why would such use of the word justify deletion of the article from Wikipedia? Isn't such use something worth informing the readers about? Nikola 10:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Where do you want me to start. Maybe at the trial: 31 August - 1 September: President Milosevic makes his historic 'opening speech' accusing Germany, Vatican and USA for the break-up of Yugoslavia, tragedy of its peoples, alliance with terrorists, occupation of Serbia and persecution of Serbian freedom fighters. The main tools of this aggression are NATO and ICTY. Crime against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed. Read it here --Emir Arven 15:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

And again the same story; why does everything have to do with politics. Any subject started beginning from, duh, let's say clay ends up with ethnic cleansing and ICTY. Geez. In any case, what does the upper-mentioned have anything to do with an ethnic hatred (maybe with a part of the article, but why outright deletion?) HolyRomanEmperor 17:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Emir, you too want to mislead people. The page you gave link to doesn't mention the term "serbophobia" anywhere. Furthermore, Milosevic doesn't admit that he committed any war crimes, so he surely won't justify them in any way. Nikola 22:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- Emir_Arven brings the same story here... HolyRomanEmperor 14:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Strong delete - this is pure politically-motivated absurdity; the term is not in current usage anywhere, including Serbia. Instead it emanated from Serbian propagandists atempting to cover up the Serbian poitical establishment's disregard for international law, human rights and human dignity. The simpple test is: do the authors really believe that people would go out of their way to criticise or oppose Serbian politics if it did not engage in genocide, ethnic cleansing and racism? I think not. This kind of article represents a mis-use of wikipedia as it has no practical informational or educational benefit.

I think it is pathetic that you are trying to involve Jews here. If anyone knows about Serb propaganda and mytholog it is Tilman Zülch. "Serbofobia" is just another Serb myth, based on Vojislav Šešelj and Slobodan Milošević accusations against the rest of the world (and Vatican?!)--Emir Arven 16:38, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I think its absolutely pathetic that you resort to accusations of "Serbophobia" to defend the term. Do you know any of us personally? Do you know if any of us have Serb relatives, by any chance? Friends? Co-workers? I used to have a high opinion of you as a wikipedia editor; one whose quality contributions transcended the lines of nationality that so often marred input from our region. Now I see that you're little more than Smolenski's virtual sock-puppet, subject to the whims of general nationalist outrage among your less-credible peers. Asim Led 23:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

What this term was used to justify in the near history is a topic for the talk page of this article and not an argument for deletion. Whether somebody is afraid of Serbs, just hates them for no reason or perhaps both, is again their own psychological issue and a topic for this article rather than a reason to delete an article about this term.

        (The copyvio comment was in particular motivated by the image showing Ratko Mladić in Srebrenica, which was uploaded by user Edvin with no source information at all and who could never be bothered to answer my question about the source so that I could perhaps use the image on Serbian wiki.) As there is another user voting for deletion in the same status as me, I think we can close this discussion about voting rights as irrelevant. Please continue to contribute to the English and other Wikipedias as the active netizens of these respective projects see fit and worthy of their praise.--Dzordzm 00:31, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete See Dado's comments. Also, so called Serbophobia is created by same minds in Serbia who planned Greater Serbia, genocide in Bosnia, Srebrenica Massacre, just to mention some of the many attrocities done or planned by Serbia in the 1990's. Some groups in Serbia really cannot deal with the facts of the wars in the 90's, but sure they can make the victims out of themselves, arguing "everybody's against us!". No, nobody's against a common Serb, but the Serbian people must face their own history and recent "doings" of their state/government, just like the Germans did after the WWII. When they do that, they will throw the ugly nationalism away that poisons not only the society in Serbia, but the neighbouring countries, as well (this goes for these countries, too).

Anyway, the article should at least have these facts included. --(Nidurhaf) 10:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The same accusations are being used to gather defensive or "politically correct" support by others. Some perhaps think that if they apply this emotionally charged word in a real situation, such as in their minds is this situation, that it will justify the common use of the term and as a result the article on Wikipedia: Following questions should be the only guideline to settle this issue: 1.Who are people that hate Serbs 2.Why do they hate them 3.What specifically have they done that can be caratherised as phobic behaviour towards Serbs.4. If so how can such behaviour be caratherised as phobic. Thank You --Dado 04:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
  - 1. The members of the Ustaša movement and their supporters (quite a mass), perhaps? 2. Because of the Serbs' domination of the Kingdom, I think 3. caused the death (directly and indirectly) of over 1,000,000 Serbs and 4. you got me there :) HolyRomanEmperor 18:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Here's that in Serbian: "ne mozes reci da nema ljudi koji ne vole Srbe" - hope it's clearer. As to your questions: 1. a lot of various people hate Serbs; 2. for various reasons; some, because some Serbs did something bad to them, some because some Serbs did something bad to someone else, most because of anti-Serbian propaganda they've been exposed to; 3. various things, for example, started the First World War, created concentration camps for Serbs, or bombed Serbia; 4. as is written in the article, The term is used in a non-clinical sense, as a political accusation.

[edit] Kennedy assassination theories

This page simply offers a target for vandals and kooks to engage in character assassination Fred Bauder 22:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak keep: While I agree with the nom.'s objections; I think we would be best served to keep the article, for without it there would be greater emphasis on inserting these things into other articles. Besides I just spent over an hour rebutting this thing, just to have it deleted. That's just bad mojo. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 22:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep Notable. George W. Bush gets vandalized a lot. Want to AfD that? CanadianCaesar 22:28, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep - hardly a good reason to delete a page. Both JFK and his assassination are reasonably encyclopedic topics about one of the more prominent politicians in the last century and how he died. Stemming from that are the various theories about how it came about, and its not original research to point out what the various points of view are. Because the 'official version' does not have very broad support, NPOV requires that the various other theories be explained, albeit in a general and condensed way. Are these theories "conspiratorial" theories? Of course, and this should be explained, albeit in a way which does not rely on a pejorative interpretation of the term "conspiracy." I do agree however that 'vandals and kooks' would feel more at home on some Wikipedia fork. ;) -Ste|vertigo 22:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep encyclopedic. Durova 22:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep At times "alternative" theories have seemed reasonable. They are also a cultural phenomonon worth documenting. Rich Farmbrough 22:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. The Kennedy assassination has one of the largest set of "alternate theories" of any major case, and it's definitely encyclopedic to document them. Certainly no less encyclopedic than, say, 9/11 conspiracy theories, which nobody has listed for deletion. --Delirium 23:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Neutral, with a side-order of "ew, this sucks" - it's arguably an encyclopaedic topic, but this version of the article is batshit and is arguably not in any way an improvement on a blank edit box. It will need some SERIOUS NPOVing and absolutely hard-arsed referencing to make a good article on this topic at this title. If we know any non-insane JFK assassination experts on the wiki, please get them on the case - if they can at least reasonably commit to making it a good article and keeping the nutters out, that'll make it worth not shooting in disgust - David Gerard 23:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
keep The article itself is encyclopaedic, but (almost) everything in the article which is not sourced should be removed. Garion96 (talk) 23:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree with User:David Gerard, and urge people voting keep to read the article carefully. This is pretty damn awful and ought to be replaced with a one paragraph stub, and then built up, insisting on references for new stuf. No or little content here is reusable. I'm not sure this justifies deleting it from the page history, so I'm not voting, but I'd be interested to see if anyone actually thinks this is good content, rather than that we need an article here. Morwen - Talk 00:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment There was a time in the mid-1970s when the United States congress passed a resolution calling the Warren Commission inaccurate. That was done on the basis of evidence that has since been disproven, yet the subject is far too well known to ignore. Durova 00:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep and yes I have read the article. Needs clean up, so if some wants to be bold they're welcome to it. Otherwise the subject matter is extremely notable from both an historical and a pop culture perspective. 23skidoo 00:27, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Noteworthy topic. And deleting it would probably be deemed part of the conspiracy. Jtmichcock 01:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. This is not anywhere near a good reason to delete an article. We can write a good article about this subject, and it it certainly worthy of having one written about it. If the existing article sucks, the answer is to edit it. Bryan 02:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep But completely revamp the page. The Kennedy assassination has resulted in the "official" theory of who killed Kennedy and why. The problem is that very few people believe the "official" theory. There are highly committed people on both sides of the issue of "lone gunman" versus "multiple gunman" causing the tone of the discussion to become highly agitated.

But, this should be a factor for keeping the coverage expansive--not limiting it.The two alternative theories seem to be:

1) The "official" assassin, Oswald, was working with one or more other persons; or

2) The "official" assassin was framed by others who actually assassinated Kennedy.

One way of handling this is to merely document the fundamental flaws that plague the "official" theory, and the historical reasons those in control of the investigation claimed it was necessary that the public be convinced that Oswald committed the crime and did so alone.

Another way is to document the the most accepted alternative theories to the :official" theory.

Right now the article is a mess.

RPJ 07:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Starblind and Megamix are right. Durova is wrong. In Vandread, Talark is a planet (see this explanation, for example), one populated exclusively by men, moreover; whereas this article is all about a purported school society founded in 2001 that contains, as per the article, at least four girls. The purported society is unverifiable (I found the aforementioned explanation when looking for sources.), and Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day, as mentioned. At the very best this is a redirect to Vandread, per WP:FICT (even though, as the cause of the confusion last time around, that article doesn't even bother to explain this very basic facet of the series — Merging this content would only serve to make the article even more confusing, uninformative, and incomprehensible.)

[edit] Autumn Bouakadakis

Non-notable cast member of a barely notable radio show. Google's showing me 27 hits for this person and the article shows a hint of being written by the subject or a friend of her. Delete. JHMM13 (T | C) 23:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Autumn Bouakadakis is a well-known radio personality in Austin, Texas. I believe this page does not warrent deletion. Remieng
- Then please add sufficient information, citing sources, to the article to demonstrate that she satisfies our Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies. At the moment, all that the article tells us is her school history, her hopes and her aspirations, and that she works as a producer at a radio station. Please cite some biographies, news coverage, books, in depth magazine articles, and suchlike that are about this woman. Indeed, please cite anything, apart from Autumn herself or someone quoting her, that verifies the first sentence of the biography in article (that she was "conceived in a trailer").

[edit] Red China Magazine

An article on a magazine that has not been published. Vanity. Hurricane111 23:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

A 'magazine that has not been published?' If it is a magazine then it goes without saying that it has been published. It is a non-profit corporation with a significant readership and a print version for sale. You jump the gun, sir. I would urge you to do your research. --Jon500 00:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I retract the statement that it has not been published. However, I still assert that it is not notable - unless you can demonstrate your statment regarding significant readership. --Hurricane111 00:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Red China Magazine currently has over 300 subscribers. It's online version receives between 200 and 900 hits a day, and receives hits in the tens of thousands per month. --68.161.132.86 23:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. non-notable magazine. Stifle 01:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Significant readership has been established. I should ask that you google the magazine and see what turns up: It is linked to by leading print and internet magazines. It is reviewed and rated and appears in most major literary magazine listing sites. Do you still go so far to say that the magazine is not notable? By what standards? Indeed, would you argue that the contributors themselves, prominent and emerging artists in their fields, are non-notable. Please explain yourself, as opposed to casting a throw-away vote.--68.161.99.74 23:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete - they have had 4 issues so far, which is not a lot of issues. Whilst I don't know the rules for number of subscribers, I imagine it is probably similar to the magical 5,000 number for forum members - hence 300 is somewhat too few. With only 4 issues so far, it is too new to have established significant notoriety. I could find no google news articles on the magazine. Whilst Alexa might not directly apply in this case (as it is a magazine rather than just a web site), Alexa doesn't recognise it. Since it is an "online magazine", Alexa probably does apply. I am sorry, but it has no claims to notoriety, beyond existing. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
