[edit] Worms schemes
Not notable/fancruft. r3m0t talk 00:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep/merge into Worms (game). Tufflaw 00:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep if need be clean-up. Serious approach to worms schemes demonstrated here. -- JJay 01:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Take this stuff to Gamefaqs. Flyboy Will 02:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Fancurft that belongs on GameFAQs. --Apostrophe 03:31, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Wikipedia is not GameFAQs. (ESkog)(Talk) 03:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I was surprised by the quality and proper style of writing – not the usual game cruft – however none of this information is encyclopaedic as it is not notable. Merge is not really practical due to the already long length of Worms (game). I have qualified my vote with "weak" because I suppose it doesn't hurt that much to keep it, provided that someone shows that they feel strongly about keeping this information. --Qirex 03:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Well done, but such information for a specific game is not encyclopedic even under a broad definition.--Bkwillwm 05:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, helps to improve users' understanding of the game. Kappa 08:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Merge into Worms (game)--MONGO 09:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, this page was originally part of the Worms (computer game) page; I split it off because it was too big.On second thought this may come well under fancruft. I shall rescue the content, and stick it on my worms website instead. An external link can be provided from the schemes section of the main Worms article. Run! 10:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Done! Run! 16:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, It's an encyclopedia, not a GameFAQ. Agnte 13:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Worms (game) in a shortened form that quickly goes over the main idea of each scheme.--Aleron235 20:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Does not even refer to the game. So the reader does not know what it is about. Too esoteric 82.38.97.206 21:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)mikeL

[edit] Adam Ostrowski
While I'm sad at his passing, I don't think this passes WP:Music. This band, Avada Kedavra was still planning on releasing their debut album. Google doesn't show much for him. Polish wikipedia even has an article on somebody else with the same name. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete n.n. musician article --Fire Star 01:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete since it's most likely a hoax, with 0 mentions of the supposed incident that killed him available through google. I don't think the media is that jaded with suicide bombers and execution videos yet. - Bobet 01:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. At best, non-notable, at worst, simple hoax. Also note that the band name page Avada Kedavra is just a redirect to a Harry Potter page, and that Avada Kedavra (band) doesn't exist (seems that everything eventually points to Harry Potter or Pokemon lately). --Qirex 03:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: Doesn't comply with WP:Music (and i got this feeling this is a joke)--Esprit15d 15:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. And let's all just pretend we didn't read that bit about "having the right" to remove autobiographies, for the sake of the phrase's writer. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 12:39, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Florian Segginger
Vanity page, as per User:TrashLock. Claims to be "most famous" for "Trash's Adventures" (which only gets just over one page of Google hits} and for being a game developer, which isn't really grounds for notability IMO. Delete CLW 00:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Game developers may be notable, but not when the "developer" is actually just a small time coder, and not when the "games" are simple macromedia flash animations with some free licence/stolen sound effects and computer generated voices --Qirex 04:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Or should I create a similar article about myself, and everyone in my class, and let everyone they know do the same? Bjelleklang - talk 04:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Developing flash animations is not notable enough, even if one is somewhat popular. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 04:37, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, and I also think the user who posted it should be banned from wikipedia because [quote] It was more of a joke than anything. [/quote] Jporcaro 19:20, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, the article is decently written and mostly factual. (I removed POV statements like "egocentric").--Aleron235 20:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, after some thought, I don't think you people have the right to delete this article. If you read up a bit on the site, you will find that autobiographies are usually tolerated. It owuld be unfair to delete my article. Everything on this article is factual (now) and this article is not even linked anywhere. It's not self propaganda, it's just that some people might want a bit of info on myself and have the great idea of looking me up on wikipedia. --TrashLock 09:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. The guidelines for biographies are at WP:BIO. (My vote is unchanged, he has actually done something of note.)

- Excuse me. You can't vote twice. Punkmorten 16:29, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Conforms to none of the qualifiers for people still alive at WP:BIO, or to the standard of these qualifiers. The site he is listed as the founder of has an Alexa rating of over 500,000. He fails the Google test with a stunning 12 unique hits (of 599) (including 2 from Wikipedia). "Trash's Adventures" beats him by 2 uniques. His Flash contributions to Newgrounds (under his original username) average about a 3/5 in community rating. I haven't checked the rest. Nothing in the biography appears to be externally verifiable, and could be classified as a vanity page. I don't think keeping this is in line with the Notability for Inclusion guidelines, in particular WP:BIO and WP:WEB. Saberwyn 10:07, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Elektronikticaret.org
From WP:PNT, been there since Decmber 5th with consensus that it is of little worth. Discussion from WP:PNT follows. Jamie (talk/contribs) 00:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Turkish. Is this spam? Lectonar 15:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- The site name means "electronic commerce". I haven't been able to figure out if they actually sell anything though. It appears to be a place to discuss SSL encryption, data, and other actual e-commerce sites. In the end, yes, it is an advertisement. TheKMan 15:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- RE: Is this spam?
- It is not spam per se, it is an "information bank" of sorts by their description and after checking it out for a bit I'd probably agree w/ that description ... I clicked some links on the website, and I don't think they're actually selling anything. There is no fee to register/sign up for the website. The site has a 'mission statement' section, and in a nutshell, it says that the website is a service to facilitate communication between companies that are new to E-Commerce and companies/employees that have been around the block and therefore have advice to share/give. There is a discussion board section for users to post questions to each other. There's also a section with some informative articles on the nature/dangers/benefits/etc of E-commerce, an FAQ section, an advice section, a 'news' section, yada yada yada ;)
- --> there are two Turkish Wikipedia pages on E-Commerce (just searched to see if there were any, and two came up, and they should be combined though), both just defining and explaining what "E-Commerce" is, etc etc.
- the source of the second one (w/ the capital T) is a Turkish Government website, so that is probably legit info. My suggestion would be to combine these two sites, and then make this Elektronikticaret.org site an external link at the bottom.

- Even with this info (thanks everyone), I'd be still inclined to list this on AfD. Suggestions? Lectonar 08:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, it could be worth translating, expanding, and Wikifying. But I have the feeling that if it were listed in AfD, it wouldn't be missed since there are no other pages linking to it, and the only users that would be interested would probably perfer the Turkish Wikipedia. I'd give it a few more days for the full two weeks. — TheKMantalk 19:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

- Weak keep - I'm only barely leaning towards keeping it - a google search turns up a fair number of hits, but most of it links to gossip and rumour. Perhaps a rewrite is needed? Barneyboo (Talk) 01:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Everything I posted to this article is true and verifiable-based on reports in the New York Post and New York Observer newspapers. I would ask that the article be preserved. Thesaunterer 01:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not everything that is verifiable is notable. --Anthony Ivanoff 13:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep-Would add that some of the information about American Express and Basabe Sr.'s failed businesses appeared in a Ny Post article by Tom Sykes. Another NY Post article is as follows: "...Public records reveal that his father, Fabian Basabe Sr., an Ecuadorian émigré who was thought to be a telecom entrepreneur, has a strong aversion to paying his bills in a timely fashion.
American Express, for example, obtained a judgment against Basabe Sr. in August 2001 for $27,233, but only acknowledged "full payment and satisfaction thereof" this spring. ...
Although records show that Basabe Sr. ultimately paid most of his creditors — he settled with Harbor Bay in 2004, for example — there are always new bills. Last Aug. 25, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Federal tax lien demanding $19,496." NomenNescio 02:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Get over yourself, psycho. I have contributed to numerous articles, but registred only recently. NomenNescio 17:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and RE-friggin-WRITE. Article is all unsourced gossip and borderline libel, but the subject does, sadly, appear to be notable enough. Flyboy Will 02:39, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep article was not "unsourced". Regarding the accuracy of those accounts in the New York papers, I refer to Wikipedia's statement on verifiability
"Verifiability" in this context does not mean that editors are expected to verify whether, for example, the contents of a New York Times article are true. In fact, editors are strongly discouraged from conducting this kind of research, because original research may not be published in Wikipedia. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable or credible sources, regardless of whether individual editors view that material as true or false."

- Regardless of it's truthfulness the inflammatory tone does make it sound like a baseless attack, if not deleted it should be re-written. Drn8 02:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Interesting how this user ^ can call this article an attack page without offering anything to counter the article's content. Let's hear more reasoned voices from unbiased users. Article should stay as is. PopeofRome 14:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep with cleanup to remove the emphasis on rumour, gossip, and general things any normal person would cringe at to read in an encyclopaedia. I think he's notable enough, and I think the information is verifyable so while it is not NPOV, it isn't quite an attack page either. --Qirex 04:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
It is not the goal of an encyclopedic entry to flatter the vanity of the subject. Since the info is verifiable and the subject is notable, it makes no difference whether he would "cringe" to read it, or not. –previous unsigned comment by NorthShoreNancy (talk, contributions)
- No, you're misinterpreting my statement. I never said that the subject of the article would cringe at it; I couldn't care less. I said any reader of an encyclopaedia would cringe. And not at the facts, but at the obviously angry and biased tone. There is nothing wrong with any of the factual information, and that is why I cast a keep with cleanup vote. But, for example, the entire first paragraph reads like a gossip column written by an old enemy. Opening a sentence with "One of the other lies this individual has told..." is NOT acceptable under WP:NPOV guidelines as it carries all kinds of unnecessary connotations. To write, instead, "Basabe has also claimed to be [...] although this is false." is better. PS. please remember to sign comments by typing ~~~~ --Qirex 01:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Fair enough. I didn't write that in the first place, but I will change the article to reflect Wiki's standards. NorthShoreNancy 03:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- redirect above mentioned article on twins (for shows will small casts, where kid is mentioned, redirect to show). It was a mistake of the nominator to mix many preschool children with a few older kids. So, its a mistake to do a mass-blind delete here (I would have considered it, if I felt the nomination was selective). There's no harm in redirects. The redirects prevent cluttering up category's with non-notable names, yet preserves the information in out of the way place. The target article should then de-link, to discourage recreation. Group nominations can be effecient, but they require greater selectivity. Note: I'm not suggesting any of the older kids warrants an article, they probably don't, but they shouldn't be blindly dumped out with the rest. --Rob 04:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inevitability theorem
I'm nominating this one for deletion because: (1) It gets 4 unique Google hits, none to any university websites, suggesting non notability; (2) when one adds the word "plagiarism" to that Google search, the results come down to zero, suggesting a hoax; (3) it seems to be justifying the great mass of copyvios that get submitted here. (4) It was created by someone with the same username as the author named in the article, suggesting vanity and original research. Delete CanadianCaesar 01:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spectacle BASIC
This article on BASIC variant gives no website for the product and I have not been able to find one in Google searches. I am not sure if this is a product available for download (or purchase, but it says it's open source). I might change my vote if a website is added to the article, but as is I think it should be deleted.-gadfium 01:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I did find the briefest of mentions here (use your browser's find tool to find "spectacle"):
"A free BASIC that includes a GUI builder, runs on Linux and Windows and is similar to Visual Basic is Phoenix Object Basic, while another is Spectacle BASIC, which is currently under development."
However, this is not nearly enough, and this is the only mention on any non-Wikipedia website I could find. Perhaps this is because it may be currently under development (or may not, depending on when that was written)... but anyway, as far as I'm aware, the burden of providing proof / references and asserting notability lies with the writer--Qirex 05:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC) (Opinion remains unchanged after addition of links to forums and beta release download) --Qirex 06:12, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] IRV - Sample election - favorite season
This was tagged for speedy by it's creator for being his own original research. However, it's been around a long time, has other minor contributors, and might not be a valid speedy under the rules. It also may have been VfDed a year or so ago, but that was before the archiving system for sych debates was in place, so locating it is difficult. Thought it better to bring here. My vote, as of now, is to delete. I'm taking the author's word that it's OR. -R. fiend 05:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of metropolitan areas in Australia by population

- It's only worth redirecting if the title is a plausible search term. Kevin 05:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- What happens to the people who set up the page? or might have linked to it? It seems easier to redirect rather than Afd. -- JJay 06:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- There are couple of redirects created but no articles pointing there. If deleted, we should consider what to do with the redirects. I am inclined to redirect at the moment. Capitalistroadster 06:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions.
- Maybe the list on the "List of cities in Australia" page should be moved to this page. Its not obvious from the title that "List of cities in Australia" would contain a population ranking -- Astrokey44|talk 09:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep per JJay. - Mgm|(talk) 10:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- What were those hits, so at least I can put them into the article? Have they released albums? Do I just put The Matys Brothers are notable for appearing in an episode of American Bandstand in 1957? Or does WP:MUSIC only apply to the present, not the past? -- Perfecto 12:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- I believe the hits are already listed in the article. Also, a bandstand appearance is proof of notability, how else do you get on the show? Remember WP:Music is a guideline, not official policy. Finally, regarding your other questions, why don't you do some research and add to the article. -- JJay 20:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable group, even recorded several singles backed by Bill Haley and His Comets. I wasn't aware an article had been started on them. If time permits I'll expand (see my work on Bill Haley, James E. Myers, The Jodimars). However due to "real world" work priorities I won't be able to do anything until the new year. 23skidoo 12:26, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was despite the intense sock/meatpuppeting, keep Urapopstar and delete URAPS Awards. howcheng {chat} 19:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Urapopstar, URAPS Awards
The first link is non-notable, non-encylopedic, barely verifiable. Looks like fancruft. It is nearly incomprehensible, and does not justify its importance or its place within the encylopedia. You know, at least schools give their context within the community. The second one is just an even more ludicrous spinoff of the first one. It currently needs to prove its notability and place within this encyclopedia. -- Natalinasmpf 06:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Copyedited the article. Will now vote keep for Urapopstar, while delete for URAPS awards. Natalinasmpf 14:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep it - It's just a page to catalogue the history of the game, which the players are very proud of and spend lots of time on. Just because certain people don't appreciate the game doesn't give you the right to try and delete the article about it. As you can tell by the external links, this game has been written up in other places, it has a big history behind it, and many dedicated members. I also find the term "fancruft" to be very offensive. Mahalia56 03:18, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

- I usually use the term "fancruft" sparingly. This article does not have a professional or neutral tone, and harms Wikipedia, and if not for other users by possibly providing a biased or possibly unverified point of view. The community owns the articles, not the individual. It may well be played in many other areas, but there are no third party references to verify, nor does it try to assert its notability neutrally. We do have the right to attempt to delete articles we genuinely think do not belong in Wikipedia, bad faith nominations are WP:POINT violations. This is clearly not the case. -- Natalinasmpf 03:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

- Well we've spent lots of time editing this article, and for someone like yourself to come along and decide it should be deleted... it's disheartening to say the least. We're constantly trying to make it better as we are not yet Wikipedia experts. Also keep in mind not everybody's first-language is English. This experience has turned me off from Wikipedia.

- First thing, trim and formalise the article. Make us understand what it actually is. Establish its notability. Use formal language. If people spend a lot of time on it, then surely, they can spend a lot of time making even better so it can be saved? Provide evidence of its impact on culture or the world. Then, yes, I will change my vote. I am sorry to hear you are discouraged, but Wikipedia is firstly an encylopedia. -- Natalinasmpf 03:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

- Fine here's a compromise. Firstly, information has to be trimmed a bit, there's way too many tables with too little context. Secondly, until the awards ceremony doesn't have a huge impact, or at least it has a smaller impact that the Urapopstar concept as a whole. I suggest merging and redirecting the awards page to this one. Then cleanup is needed for the page. I will then vote weak keep. -- Natalinasmpf 04:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

- Are there better ways of removing vandalism and deleting possibly detrimental articles? You tell me. It is very likely I will vote keep for this article, anyhow.

- No change in my vote. The article still does not provide any proof of notability beyond a brief reference in print media and a review in an online paper. No verification is provided for the article's bald claim that it has received "a large amount of web traffic." Most of the article is nothing but a summary of what happens on the "pop charts" within its fictional world, without that context even being consistently clear. It reminds me of the cruft we've been forced to repeatedly delete that documented message board flamewars as if they were a topic worthy of Ken Burns. Postdlf 19:18, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Guillemots (band)
Multiple re-creations aside, this band still does not meet WP:MUSIC. WP:DRV said to list it on afd again instead of speedying, though. —Cryptic (talk) 07:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, their single received "much attention from radio presenters across the UK (including two from BBC Radio 1)" thus passing WP:MUSIC. Also #5 on the NME chart right now. Kappa 07:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Lest anyone be deceived, the charting criterion on WP:MUSIC refers to sales charts. The NME chart is determined by internet voting. —Cryptic (talk) 07:19, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep: I first created this article because of the constant airplay and gig reviews on BBC Radio 6 of their latest single, it is also playlisted on several Sky TV music chanels including the AMP and MTV. The BBC Radio 1 and Virgin Radio coverage is quite extensive also, the fan base already seems huge (see links) and these guys will definately go on to bigger and better things. There are dozens of reviews from music critics on the net and in newspapers and they all seem to agree on one thing... in my opinion the band are producing the most exciting new music that I have heard in quite some time Nick Boulevard 19:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Classical Theism
One line sub-stub which violates WP:NPOV and WP:BIAS There might be a way to create an article with this name which is not POV and Biased, but this isn't even close to a beginning. KillerChihuahua?!? 19:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

- abstain, we need an article here, and AFD is not cleanup. Kappa 08:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- abstain and cleanup per Kappa. Flyboy Will 08:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep tag for expand and expert.--MONGO 09:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete explain to me what "classical" theism is. Its certainly not what the article states: "Classical Theism is long-standing ideas about God within Christianity." That's POV, as well as covered under Christianity and God. If you tag for cleanup, what precisely do you suggest be the content for this neologistic phrase? Theism already has an article. Slapping "classical" on the front end is meaningless. As it is the article is horrible religious bias, and I fail to see how re-writing it will do anything but create a completely unnecessary duplicate of Theism. KillerChihuahua?!? 10:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I fail to see what the inclusion of the word classical brings to the party other than being a transparent attempt to somehow elevate a single belief system above others. As the simple definition as given on the page is biased, it is likely that the article itself would be just as biased and would serve as a soapbox. Additionally, the article is unnecessary as there are others touching on the same subject matter in a far more NPOV manner. Jim62sch 10:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per KillerChihuahua's points. ('Classical' suggested to me that it might have been about Anct. Greek/Roamn ideas of theism. Which would have been interesting). --Squiddy 14:31, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- You can read about that at Greek mythology and Roman mythology, and it is interesting. KillerChihuahua?!? 16:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per KC and Jim - Guettarda 16:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and mark for expansion and clean-up. Classical theism is a specific set of theistic beliefs involving belief in one supreme omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipotent God. This could be included in the "theism" article but is not really presented there currently. TMS63112 16:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Please WP:CITE, TMS63112, because I've found a number of highly disparate sites and no indication that "Classical theism" is anything other than a neologism utilized different ways by different groups. KillerChihuahua?!? 17:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand.--Bkwillwm 17:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- As a paragraph under "Pantheism" so I suppose we should put a paragraph there also? This is, finally, in the nature of a source or cite, for which I thank you. Are they correct, however? I will remind you that in the recent Guardian test Wikipedia was more, not less, accurate than the Encyclopedia Britannica, so while that's the best anyone has done, should it be a separate article, part of Theism, part of Pantheism, or something else?

- You seem a little overly passionate about this entry. Do you mind if I ask why? --Jason Gastrich 20:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Obviously because the phrase is neologism. And not at all settled. I think it'd be difficult to write an article about something that's a desert wax and a floor topping. Mark K. Bilbo 23:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect would work for me, I just cannot see how this can become a viable article on its own, per reasons given above. KillerChihuahua?!? 12:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as calling Judeo-Islamo-Christianity "classical theism" is POV pushing. See over here [8] where the BBC comments the term is more a neoligism to replace typing the rather long and clumsy "Judeo-Islamo-Christianity." The concepts may be "classical" in a certain set of cultures (particularly Western culture) but there are many beliefs that have been around longer (such as Hindu beliefs). It's rather ethno-centric of us to call something of our heritage "classical" as if it ante-dates all other beliefs somehow. Mark K. Bilbo 14:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and fix to at least minimum multi-POV, since each culture has their own classical theism. Just needs lotsa TLC. Zotel - the Stub Maker 03:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This is the second nomination for this article Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eclectic_Metal. -- JJay 08:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete doesn't link to any bands and term is not common useage in any way--MONGO 09:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Yet another 'genre' with nothing to distinguish it (in the same way as death metal or speed metal, which are real genres). Adjective + genre != sub-genre. Was pretty lucky to survive on a no-consensus. Plenty of Google hits, but, as you'd expect, they're along the lines of "Ozzfest attracts an eclectic metal mix" or even "eclectic metal wall clock". --Last Malthusian 12:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Oh come on, this says it all. "An eclectic metal band could include any variation of instruments, sounds or emotions in its line-up." Now, some might say a genre which includes every single band on the planet must be notable, but I'm of the opposite viewpoint. --Last Malthusian 12:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - The two words do give a lot of hits, including 500 coincidences with "System of a Down", but most are repeats or, as Last Malthusian points out, use eclectic as a separate adjective as in "Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian - one half of the eclectic metal quartet". It might deserve a sentence in System of a Down, but I'm happy leaving that to those editors and simply delete it. ×Meegs 23:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Advertising and Unverifiable. The URL it gives is actually for Hebrew Academy of Morris County, there is nothing verifying its existance as claimed in the article [9], [10].

Although I do agree with Zordrac's proposition to rename it to Last Man Standing (Doom mod), that's all I'd like to see regarding its status. --70.25.168.90 00:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

-
- Fixed. --70.25.168.90 19:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC) P.S. Am I allowed to insert another "Keep" under the new comments?
- Keep. The goal of Wikipedia is to provide a wide range of information. There is no reason for it to be deleted, though the title could be, as already stated, fixed to read "Last Man Standing Coop". Also, the stated text in the article is quoted from the main page of the site on the external links. It should simply be placed in quotation marks or the context should be changed in accordance. [24.250.130.111; 14:05 19/12/05]
- Keep. As previously stated, Last Man Standing Coop is a very notable Doom 3 user mod. The simple fact that it contributes cooperative multiplayer to the Doom 3 game makes it one of the most popular mods as per Doom 3 Files number of downloads. However, the article should indeed be fixed to read "Last Man Standing Coop". MercyKiller

- Well, considering several people have come to the developers and stated that LMS is the reason they bothered to buy Doom 3 after hearing that the game was less than stellar, it's certainly notable to the uninitiated as well. See below for several statistics substantiating the mod's value in other ways. --MercyKiller

- Keep. As can be seen on the about page on the website the modification has been featured in well over a dozen magazines, won awards and been featured in many interviews. Not many modifications in any community can boast that many magazine mentions. Also, no other game or modification offers cooperative support for the Doom 3 Expansion pack ROE, not even the XBox version provides this. Last Man Standing is quite unique in this aspect. The vast community for the modification can be seen by it's large array of forum posts and irc users. Also check on Moddb as Last Man Standing Coop is consistently in the top 10 modifications of well over 2000. This definitely shows that it has quite a community and is popular. --calimer

- Keep. In terms of servers that actually have people on them, it's a good 1/8th at least of the players. I'd say that LMS has the biggest playerbase of all the multiplayer mods in Doom 3, though admittedly there are not many multiplayer mods. The article itself needs serious NPOVifying. I'll try to see to that. (Oh, yeah, and I support moving the article as Zordrac suggests.) Note: I am part of the LMS community. --Iten 04:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. "What makes this mod notable?" - simple... Google "Doom 3 coop" and LMS is the first thing that comes up. Anyone wanting to know about Doom 3 cooperative gameplay should be able to find out about this. I agree with Zordrac's proposition to rename it though --Dr. Jones 07:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. (Since nobody answered my previous P.S.) I would like to keep the article for reasons stated above. But for some more Google backup, I just googled "Last Man Standing" and found that LMS Coop is actually the 3rd result (only behind a couple of pages from the popular BBC NEWS site and IMDb).

- Keep. Certainly this has a place in wikipedia. Significant games are oft defined by a particular mod in the eyes of fans. Counter-Strike for Half-Life, CTF for Quake, and LMS for Doom 3. Mods like these never die. In fact, this mod is probably the most notable Doom 3 mod, period. (Improperly signed edit by 69.154.188.11 --Iten 22:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC))

- Comment, we don't actually have an article on ostrich racing, no more than we have an article on cheese racing, two, it's notable according to an open quote google, ie. turtle racing vs "turtle racing", where the first search simply looks for the number of websites containing both the words 'tutle' and 'racing', and the second search returns less hits than "hamster for president", does that mean hamster for president is our next new article?
- in fact I'd wager that most of the results of that search would be referring to something that is far from an organized 'sport', in fact, I'd like to see at least one source, that shows the existance of the organized sport of proffessional turtle racing, otherwise this is total nonsense, as the origional tag said--152.163.101.7 23:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's definitely not what "patent nonsense" in the deletion template means; it means something more like "completely incomprehensible."

- Keep. OK, this article leaves much to be desired, but it isn't totally worthless. There are several non-obvious things said about turtle racing, such as the first-to-the-edge-of-the-circle type of race. Of course it is totally irrelevevant whether there is such a thing as "professional turtle racing"; to pick a ridiculous comparison, even the Olympics is amateur.--Pharos 05:29, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tom_Dorsch
delete: barely notable person, only for regular readers of chess related usenetgroups and people interested in US-chess functionaries, the article itself gives no hint, why Tom Dorsch should be notable enough for a wikipedia entry; article is mainly vanity, filled with personal accusations and rumors; the prime author has a long standing quarrel with Tom Dorsch, well documented on his homepage(s) and obvious in the arcticle; he is not able or willing to provide a NPOV, although he has been explicitely asked to do so; I suggest deletion instead of complete rewrite, as it is questionlable that anyobody is interested in doing so Rook wave 11:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I've rewritten the article, or rather, I've deleted everything that's either a personal attack, unencyclopedic and/or unsourced/unreferenced. While I do not want to disrupt the deletion process, I don't think it's nescessary to keep the article in it's old form for a week longer, just because of this AfD. I don't know anything about this guy (therefore, I will refrain from voting), nor have a been involved in the discussion on the talk page, I'm just an editor applying what I believe to be common sense and Wikipedia policy. --JoanneB 11:31, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Tom doesn't appear to be active in chess recently. His FIDE card lists no games this year and he doesn't have a world ranking. Is there anything else that could make him worth including? (BTW, what's a chess politician?) - Mgm|(talk) 12:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Regarding chess politician: I prefer the notion chess functionary, simply somebody involved in the organization of chess; Tom Dorsch was for some time treasurer of the United States Chess Federation and twice president of the Northern California Chess Association, and if the article would not be deleted these were his only notable achievements, and my first edits (regarded by the prime author as vandalism) indeed reduced the article to just those facts. What he as achieved when being in those positions, the primary author unfortunately did not consider worth mentioning.
- Regarding his rating: currently only a minority of players has a FIDE rating or many entries to this card; Tom Dorsch has a United States Chess Federation rating, but indeed he hasn't played for some time. His rating is high, but not exceptional. Rook wave 12:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Dorsch was treasurer of the USCF and president of the Northern California association (Calchess). I don't see that as "several top positions in US chess organizations". The USCF is the US national federation but Treasurer is not a top position, and Dorsch served only one term, in the early 90's. Calchess is a state organization (actually half a state, there's a separate Southern California regional organization), not a national one. Dorsch is a somewhat notable figure in recent USCF history and should get a mention in an expanded USCF page, but it's bizarre to say that every USCF ex-officer (there are hundreds of them) rates their own Wikipedia article. The USCF itself is not that important an organization. The person currently holding the comparable office (Finance VP Jonathan Mariner) in Major League Baseball, a much more noteworthy organization than the USCF, doesn't have a Wikipedia article, let alone someone who held that office many years ago. Imagine ex-functionaries of a national stamp collecting club getting all this Wikipedia heat. The only reason it happens for the USCF is because of the contentious personalities in the chess world arguing over nonsense. Phr 11:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Like I've been discussing on the talk page, all of the POV junk and attacks need removed, User:Sam Sloan disagrees -- that's why there's a current RfC on the article. Nothing to suggest he's not notable though.And thank you Joann for cleaning up the article again. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 17:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- The most noteworthy thing about Dorsch was his campaign for USCF treasurer and what happened after he won the office (all his duties were taken away by the opposing faction which still controlled the policy board). Explaining this would require spending pages on stupid USCF internal politics which almost nobody cares about. The reason Sloan made this page at all is he's in the faction opposite the one Dorsch was in. Having an article about Dorsch makes no sense at all without a neutral treatment of those issues, but I don't think anyone is likely to write such a treatment. Certainly not Sloan. (OK, quick POV version: Dorsch ran on a financial reform platform against vested interests that have controlled the USCF on and off for decades, made accusations of mismanagement that turned out to be true, but was a dorky enough personality that not enough people listened to him at the time, partly because it was in their financial or factional interest to not listen. That includes Sloan.) Trying to turn that into an article would be one of those endless debates that would burn as much of people's wiki-editing energy as the serious national politics articles do, but on a subject of relevance to almost nobody. So creating this article in the first place basically amounts to trolling. I hope non-chess people who voted "keep" based on not understanding the situation will consider changing their votes. Phr 11:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

- Regarding the changes by Joann: ok, now the article is much shorter, but it's still junk. Come on "He plays chess and has now become a poker player" - what is this? As I said: my complaints about this article are not primarly based on the notability of Tom Dorsch. It's the complete emptyness of this article. And who is going to write something? Even what Joann has left is not verified. If you remove this as well, only the title tag remains. So the content of this article is: "There is a man called Tom Dorsch." Bravo. Rook wave 18:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Dorsch is a former treasurer of the USCF, which is sort of like being a former treasurer of the National Bowling League or a former councilmember of some small city. He did have a role in the USCF's transition to the one-member-one-vote system (he opposed it) and he could reasonably get a mention in the USCF's article if it's expanded to cover that history (edit: his treasurer campaign too, a related topic). His highest chess rating was in the 2300's, probably around 1000th in the US--pretty good for an amateur, but nowhere near professional level. The stuff about him getting more Google hits than GM Vesselin Topolov was an error due to Sloan mispelling Topolov's name as "Topalov" when Googling. FWIW, Googling "Tam Dorsch" or "Tom Darsch" gets zero hits. Phr 03:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

DELETE - unknown and irrelevant person; author (Sloan) is a psychopath who cannot distinguish fact from fiction. (Jürgen R.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.152.22.177 (talk • contribs)
BLANK VOTE - Many professional biographers have noted the problems of including even insignificant persons in a biographic dictionary ("what is the use of this long procession of the hopelessly insignificant? Why repeat the familiar formula about the man who was born on such a day, was ‘educated at the grammar school of his native town,’ graduated in such a year, became fellow of his college, took a living, married, published a volume of sermons which nobody has read for a century or two, and has been during all that time in his churchyard? Can he not be left in peace ..."). Their problem is, on the other hand, almost always related to the lack of space in printed editions -- if Wikipedia suffers even remotely from such a problem, the solution is not to refuse to accept material. My second concern is the relevance of the subject: this is not something to be voted over, unless the voters can be assumed to be reasonably knowledgeable about the context (contemporary chess afairs), as well as fairly unprejudiced towards the subject well as the author. I strongly suspect many voters on this topic vote largely because of lack of confidence in the author. If Wikipedia is to be taken seriously, a more stringent method to decide the inclusion of a particular name is required. I can't decide from the context if the voting is to deny the subject, or deny the article on that subject. In any case, when the subject is judged it should be done impartially. My third concern is with the article: I believe that a biography of any kind needs much more than this particular article shows ... but I also believe that neither biographers nor Wikipedia-authors are born ready-made. A process frpm draft to finished article seems to be called for. Wikipedia must have a procedure for handling these situations: and that must be considered by all parts as impartial and trustworthy. (A. Thulin)
- That essay belongs in a discussion of grand wikipedia policy, not a vfd about a particular article. Right now the policy is that non-noteworthy biographies get deleted and there's guidelines for establishing noteworthiness. Debating whether the policy and guidelines are good belongs somewhere else. The vfd discussion is simply about whether Dorsch meets the guidelines. Phr 11:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
DELETE - While Tom Dorsch was a notable figure in the United States Chess Federation, the article as written provides practically no coverage of the issues that made Dorsch important. Instead, the author relates us with tales of Dorsch's activities and proclivities from long ago, which have very little relevance or place in an encyclopedia. Sloan has often written disparaging comments about Dorsch -- and vice versa. It serves no purpose to accept his characterizations of Dorsch as anywhere near accurate enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. As a United States chess player and former executive board member of the United States Chess Federation, I think it would be a travesty to allow this interpretation of Dorsch stand.
DELETE - Mr. Sloan is using Wikipedia for settling scores and posting his delusions of greatness. Have you folks learned nothing from the Siegenthaler debacle?
- Delete Doesn't seem that notable and original author seems to revert any attempt at clean up, therefore can see no hope of this becoming a substantial cited NPOV article --pgk(talk) 14:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Are you paying attention? You just made six changes and I did not revert any of them. I did, however, add three paragraphs to the top which better explain why Tom Dorsch is a notable person. Every tournament chess player in the world has heard of Tom Dorsch. Are you one of them? Sam Sloan 15:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- This is the diff from the "current" version to the one after I made my first edit to remove the paragraph saying Sloan didn't believe that Dorsch was involved in the JFK assassination attempt (since it wasn't suggested anywhere else that he was, saying he wasn't seemed odd). This is the diff from my last edit to the current version where indeed you undo more of my edits, including removal of the cleanup tag. So yes I was paying attention. --pgk(talk) 16:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. However, I did not intentionally remove the cleanup tag. I am not sure how that happened, but it does seem that sometimes changes are made that do not show up in the "history".
- I have no objection to any real clean-up. I have not reverted any of your changes. I do object when Rook_wave, JoanneB and Janeth, none of whom know anything about chess, try to delete the entire article. Sam Sloan 16:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not involved with the page or the band, just a Wikipedia reader passing through; FWIW, although I appreciate the work you folks do here at AfD and can certainly sympathize with your frustration with bandcruft, I do think that many of these debates tend to underrate the distinction between garage band vanity (the high school band that's never played a gig) and obscure but legitimate underground artists who've paid their recording/touring dues without achieving (or wanting) commercial fame.

- keep I use this word, I agree with you, macro exists because micro existed in first placed, yet both of them are used. - Allan 23:53, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

- Weak keep it doesn't harm to have this article. Grue 17:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- wouldnt it do more good merged with micromanagement (computer gaming) (as it was merged, previously, before somebody decided to separate it out again). if not, then it fails dicdef.Zzzzz 17:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Players do not generally use this term to refer to the higher aspects of the game, they rather talk about strategy vs micro, or with similar concepts. This word only exists as a back-formed word, an extension on the idea of micromanagement. However the concept is real, even though the exact word to use is in question.

[edit] Too Much Information
Dicdef that was attempted to be moved to Wiktionary, but had its tag removed (in October!) by an anon (another anon created page, so it's been here for some time). The "article" also hints at neologism status. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 12:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 12:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's not particularly neologistic; folks have been saying it here in the Northeast for at least a decade. I don't think it has potential to grow beyond a dictdef, though, and this wouldn't be of any use to Wiktionary. Delete. —Cryptic (talk) 16:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - but get rid of the "originated in" and "originated by" bits unless there's some kind of verification. Should say that it's shortened form is TMI and that there's all kinds of shortcuts for. Very encyclopaedic article (potentially). Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Transwiki and delete unless the article is expanded to include the phrase's history and sources are cited (in which case, consider this a keep). Otherwise it's no better than a Wiktionary article. I wouldn't call it a neologism - I've seen this phrase used on more than one occasion (and recently used it myself). Johnleemk | Talk 15:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Zunaid 14:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)- Comment. Why redirect - one will never type Oct 31 = Dec 25 in the address bar to be redirected to Mathematical joke. I know redirects are cheap but this is unnecessary. --Anthony Ivanoff 13:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - I included the joke in to Mathematical joke (just added the few lines from here). By the way, the Mathematical joke page needs a massive cleanup, as the jokes would be great as their own sub sections. I am happy for it to be deleted now (so long as the joke remains). I think that a redirect from here is in order, as YES, I do think that there would be occasions when someone might type OCT 31 = DEC 25 in to a search engine. For example - when someone asks them how OCT 31 can equal DEC 25! Also could have a redirect from Halloween = Christmas too just to be sure. I think that everyone basically agrees with this (one way or the other) so I am hoping that this is seen as the consensus view.

[edit] Alt.sex.stories
Was tagged as speedy candidate with the reason: "Not Notable, promotionion of a singular website which contains large amounts of illegal material (eg alt.sex.stories.pedo)". As far as I can tell, Usenet newsgroups can be notable and containing large amounts of illegal material shouldn't be a reason not to have an article on it. We also have articles on other questionable material. Abstain. - Mgm|(talk) 12:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep This is an encyclopedia, not a moral judgement. User:Fuzzywolfenburger
- Keep Josh Parris#: 12:56, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. I was surprised to see a Speedy Deletion tag posted, ostensibly because of "notability" and "illegal material." Let me address each one:
- First, lack of notability is a criteria for deletion, not speedy deletion. The Usenet hierarchy alt.sex.stories is critical to an understanding of the growth of the internet into its present form. Usenet predates the Worldwide Web by well over a decade. Many people who are not familiar with the history and background that gave rise to the internet tend to think of the Web as the internet. That's simply not true, it is only one aspect of the Internet and only the most recent. Before there was a Web, there was Usenet. And one of the most important portions of Usenet that drove the popularity of the web were the stories told through the alt.sex.stories hierarchies. This was an important factor in drawing people to the internet in the first place. As detailed by the article itself, understanding the alt.sex.stories hierarchy is critical to understanding how the internet was born. To say it lacks notability is absurd.
- As to "illegal" materials, there is no "alt.sex.stories.pedo" as far as I can tell. If one was created in the past (and a Usenet group is easy to create), there is no indication that it in any way has propogated. My Usenet service is among the most comprehensive, with over 120,000 Usenet groups. There's no "pedo" subgroup. If any such group is out there, it is certainly not being distributed. Nonetheless, even if it was out there, the other subgroups certainly do not deserve to be shunned because someone decided to create a questionable subgroup. It is all protected under U.S. law; written materials --even involving minors -- are protected by the First Amendment.[18] There's no such thing as an "illegal" textual description of a sexual act.
- I believe this nomination was made in bad faith and without any checking of notability or legality. Jtmichcock 13:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per Josh and Jmichcock, and suggest adding a clean-up tag to break things into a few subsections; perhaps Purpose, History and Sub-groups, for example. Confusing Manifestation 13:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete For those who say there is no "alt.sex.stories.pedo" may I point you to this Usenet listing. Not only does it exist, but it appears to be active. And as if that wasn't bad enough there is also "alt.sex.stories.babies" which describes inself as "STories involving pre teen children and sex". alt.sex.stories is a usenet group not a website, but it is the equivilent of a single website. Wikipedia has a policy of not allowing articles devoted to single websites. There are litrally thousands of porn websites out there, so why don't they all have Wikipedia articles devoted to them? And as far as telling the story of Usenet is concerned, I think the Usenet article does that just fine. —gorgan_almighty 14:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I recall reading where Yahoo was being pursued by law enforcement because it was allowing its chat rooms to be used by pedophiles to pick up children. I suppose by that logic Yahoo should be de-listed. By way of background, alt.sex.stories is a hierarchy, not a single group and most certainly not a website since it has existed before the Web was even invented (although you can now access the usenet through Google Groups). The subgroups include just about everything that you could imagine, just like Yahoo chat rooms have all manner of behavior. Within the alt.sex.stories groups, there are two main moderated hierarchies, alt.sex.stories.moderated (ASSM) and alt.sex.stories.gay.moderated (ASSGM), both of which have very strict policies on underage sex. I happen to be the moderator the latter and have been for six years (as well as being an assistant moderator prior to taking over). Just the mailing lists for our group includes some 30,000 people and that does not include the tens of thousands of people who read the stories off the web nor those who obtain through Usenet. Our "straight" counterpart, as you can imagine, has an even larger audience. There is no question of notability. I would again urge a Speedy Keep. Jtmichcock 16:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes I noticed your connection to alt.sex.stories. So the alt.sex.stories Wikipedia article is written by the moderator of alt.sex.stories is it? That in its self has been cause for deletion of articles in the past. Please don't take my request for deletion as a personal insult against you, as its not. Your comment about Yahoo being pursued by law enforcement because it allowed its chat rooms to be used by pedophiles is very true. I'm just concerned about the same happening to Wikipedia. Can we get some comments from people who aren't directly connected to alt.sex.stories perhaps? —gorgan_almighty 16:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- There is no moderator of "alt.sex.stories", Jtmichcock moderates "alt.sex.stories.gay.moderated", and he is far from the only contributer to the alt.sex.stories article here on Wikipedia. I have created a section on the ASS.* hierarchy to attempt to clear up this confusion. And for the record, I have no connection to alt.sex.stories other than appreciation of Usenet's history and impact in general. --W.marsh 16:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- We've never deleted articles because of who wrote them. We delete advertising articles because they're POV, and vanity articles because they're non-notable, not because of who writes them. This article seems perfectly fine with regards to NPOV. As for the legal issues, I can't see any in regard to talking about a group that may or may not have a similar name to another group that may or may not be doing something illegal. Didn't a whole WikiProject dedicated to censoring Wikipedia to comply with Florida obscenity law get shot down not too long ago? I remember voting in the AfD on it but wasn't around when it was closed, and can't remember what it was called to look it up. (For the record, I have nothing to do with ASS. Teeheehee.) --Last Malthusian 16:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think the proposer has some misconceptions about Usenet and how groups are formed and managed. I have the codes and passwords for the ASSGM Newsgroup and not any others. While I have some familiarty with the folks working at ASSM (our websites cross-promote each other), I don't have the authority or means to approve, delete or otherwise affect any posting in that group. As to the balance of the Newsgroups in the ASS hierarchy, I don't even check those unless I hear that someone's writing a diatribe about us. I'm not even sure how many other Newsgroups there are. ASSM and ASSGM were both chartered hierarchies set up years ago. Once you got your group, that's what you handle. Individual ISPs that carry your group or not, it all depends on the demand. Largerly, most ISPs won't carry Newsgroups with any sort of underage content designation; Google carries all sorts of groups without such restrictions, but refuses any binary files. As to whether or not Wikipedia should mention a hierarchy that might contains underage materials in a subgroup, I would certainly hope so. If for no other reason to caution people about what their children/spouses/other family members may be getting themselves into. Jtmichcock 17:41, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep This is a long-established newsgroup (with 1,380,000 google hits... [19]), not a website... Wikipedia has plenty of articles about webpages and even newsgroups less known than alt.sex.stories. Not to drag this out, but subgroups really have no connection to their parent group... due to the nature of Usenet, anyone who knows how can create a subgroup. --W.marsh 15:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Written word is not illegal, and if that is the basis of its main argument for deletion it is inherently flawed. Additionally, is is as already stated NOT a website, it's a newsgroup, and the differences exist in format, protocol, usage and more.

- Let's not make this ugly - it's not worth it when this discussion's surely going to be closed soon. I don't think Gorgan acted in bad faith, and I don't think an ad hominem is the same as an 'attack' - that implies something far more violent and aggressive. --Last Malthusian 17:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. I think the proposer saw the rogue sub-newsgroups and panic took over. That's perfectly understandable. I think we should all be mindful to check things out before proposing an article for deletion. It would save a lot of time and effort if you have thoroughly checked out the background. I do hope that we can close this debate soon. Jtmichcock 19:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Conspiracy Theories about the July 2005 London bombings
Original Research, most of the links are to discussion forums, or to genuine news articles that do not really back up the conspiracy theory view. Astrotrain 13:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. It seems we have a conspiracy theory page for every other tragedy (example: 9/11 conspiracy theories), so I don't see why this one shouldn't be allowed. However, this page needs a total rework as written. --MisterHand 16:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Delete. We may have 9/11 conspiracy theory pages, but that's because those nuts got a lot of them published. For the London bombings this is so far original research and should be deleted, until of course we inevitably get some notable publications picking this up. Flyboy Will 17:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- All we have is David Shyler's opinion, which can go at his own page. The Mirror source should be removed also, as it is not saying that the bombings were an "inside job". Astrotrain 21:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- The fact that Jeff Rense has some theories about this, and he's notable to get his own article, I think, indicates this can be expanded beyond the Shyler quote. CanadianCaesar 21:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- That person, according to his article, is a "conspiracy theorist", therefore it is not surprising he has theories on a wide range of interest, no doubt motivated by commerical intent. Until a credible source show that there is any genuine conspiracy theory, the article should be deleted. Any nutter can make up a conspiracy theory, but it needs to well documented for it to be encyclopedic. Astrotrain 22:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know, we quote Fred Phelps' website in Alternative theories regarding Hurricane Katrina- perhaps, to keep the stuff from the Mirror also, we could move it to Rumours about the July 2005 London bombings and add some content from the Urban Legends Reference Pages- [20] [21] [22] CanadianCaesar 22:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Heroin Jake and the Crack Addicts
Delete - per nomination. Non-notable group. The article is highly self-aggrandizing (qv. "orgasmic experience"). Only Google reference to these guys is a Guardian article - and only because they allegedly sing a single song in Esperanto. [25]D.valued 06:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Comment - Removed the line regarding the "orgasmic experience." It's not worth this page being taken down because of one line.
Just becuase this D.Valued user does not have respect for the language of esperanto and obviously does not do research as the band Heroin Jake and the Crack Addicts is making progress in Atlantic Canada which has a culture and music which is different than the rest of North America does not give grounds to delete this article. Also, he should learn to spell.

- Comment - Replies to User:JLEG: Well, I didn't win the spelling bee, only because I botched one vowel there as well. Esperanto hasn't got anything to do with it, save the fact that the only Web reference from Google with the name of the group as the search term - both with ampersand and with "and" - is a coincidental mention, not a mention about the band per se. In addition, based on your contribution history - solely limited to a vanity article and articles pertaining to this group, which apparently you've worked with - it is impossible to see you as impartial. Also, it is rude to not suffix your posts with your name (it's simple; add four tildes, et voilá.) D.valued 08:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Oganization story
This one's tricky, I would say Original research. There are lots of issues here:
- the article appears to be verifiable research, but is almost entirely self-referential. The majority of cites appear to be references to books/papers written by the wiki article author.
- The other 2 cites in the article appear to be the only other people in this field.
- Starting with the misspelled title, the article itself is incomprehensible, which seems suspicious for.
- A wiki link to Antenarrative appears in the article, which seems to be a neologism created by the author

[edit] Three's Company Effect
A Google search reveals only five distinct hits for the phrase "Three's Company Effect". Only two of those hits reference the meaning mentioned in the article. One hit uses the term to reference watching TV shows as an adult that you enjoyed in your youth and discovering that they weren't as great as you remember. The 2nd hit refers to a strategy with a Collectible card game that has no reference whatsoever to the TV show. The third hit links to a 404 notice.

[edit] Sulfur jovian
This article describes a phenomenon which does not appear to have any reference besides the speculations of John Whatmough (creator of the Extrasolar Visions website). I had previously tried to fix up this article, but I have found no references for sulfuric acid-covered jovian planets. Chaos syndrome 16:39, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whatmough's planet types. These aren't even Whatmough's speculations at all. Whatmough himself used the Sudarsky classification system, as per this page, and a "sulfurous cloud jovian" is simply a (Sudarsky) Class 1 or Class 2 planet that has sulfurous compound condensates. Uncle G 18:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'd say these are Whatmough's speculations - if you take a look at the planet list on his site he used "sulfurous cloud jovian" to represent planets at the warm end of class II, which makes it a speculative addition to the Sudarsky system - he explains this in more detail here. Chaos syndrome 20:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Antenarrative
Neologism. A slightly tricky case: like Oganization story above, this technically cites external sources, but they seem to stem from the author of the article itself, making the page original research. It is also, by and large, incomprehensible. I've had whole classes on narrative theory, for crying out loud, and it wasn't all as confusing as this. Anville 16:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Speedy keep. Extremely significant and notable, if unpublished. I do think this is a bit awkward and that we should generally not be writing articles about unpublished work, but this experiment has caused quite a stir. Bikeable 18:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy Keep Significant and notable. Just because Afshar's paper has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal does not mean it is Original Research! The Wiki policy is clear on this. It says if a research result "has been published in reputable journals or by reputable publishers" it is not original research. Afshar experiment has been published in Proc. SPIE 5866 which is a "reputable" optics journal, and was the cover story of New Scientist which is a "reputable publisher", often sited by mainstream media as a reliable source. Yes, Afshar's work is controversial, but the controversy is explicitly discussed in the article. Controversy does not constitute a reason for deletion of an article! Hunter Monroe should know that if he is as he claims "not a new WikiPedia user." Physicsmonk 18:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Dear Monroe, my involvement in the Afshar experiment page has been limited to ensuring the accuracy of the reports regarding my work. It would be negligent of me not to do so. The recent John Seigenthaler incident (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4534712.stm) is warning enough for any prudent person to ensure that inaccuracies (as well as malicious attacks) do not survive on Wiki pages. To that end, rest assured that I will keep a watchful eye on the Afshar experiment page and its contents, given it survives your mysteriously sudden deletion request!

I note that this user's only editing interests have been the promotion of Afshar's researches, which perhaps is not a surprise, as this user has signed posts in the past, identifying themselves as Prof Shahriar S. Afshar. I don't like these kinds of shenanigans, and view this episode with some consternation. linas 23:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Linas, the IP you mentioned belongs to the colleague User:Physicsmonk with whom I worked and used his computer last year before I had set up my own Wiki account. After my recent discussions with you I asked him to obtain an account as well, which is exactly what he has done. He retracted the anonymous vote after he realized I had posted his vote for him (see below for the reason). Please stop these unsubstantiated remarks. Frankly, I am starting to think that Hunter Monroe is in fact your sockpuppet?! Afshar 23:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Dear Linas, You can't call anyone who supports my work a sockpuppet! User:Physicsmonkis certainly not a sockpuppet either, he is the Boston colleague I mentioned in my e-mail. I asked him to set up an account as you had suggested. He told me about the recent events with Monroe requesting a deletion and then you reinstating Monroe's attempt which I mistakenly understood as your own view. Sorry if I got confused on your vote! At any rate, User:Physicsmonk told me that for some reason he could not post his vote on the Wiki deletion page, which is what I did for him by copying and pasting his response to User:Hmonroe into the vote page. As you can see, I have not voted on the deletion issue myself as I deem that not to be ethical. I hope this clarifies the situation. BTW/ I have posted the e-mail I sent you a few days agao but was left unanswered in your talk page. Afshar 21:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- I can't imagine why they couldn't vote directly, since it seems that thier very first edit on WP was to remove this AfD notice. linas 23:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Point of order. As a minimum of verifiability it seems that any valid vote must be posted from the account that signs it. I can't see how anyone could think otherwise, events in Florida notwithstanding. Thus I say the third vote from the top, signed by physicsmonk but posted by Afshar be
struck out(not obliterated) and physicsmonk be allowed to cast a vote from his/her own account. (Then the argument may continue, as desired.)

- Keep based on comments from smart editors above. -- JJay 22:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep This is not original research in the WP sense. It is a real controversy in the real world which has generated a rather extensive paper trail. Keeping it does not imply endorsing it, any more than the articles on creationism or cold fusion endorse the topics. Documenting recent disputes like this is an important way WP is valuable. Of course, it remains important that the article be NPOV, and that it not be given too much prominence in other parts of the WP, e.g. the Albert Einstein article, with which it is only very tangentially related. --Macrakis 23:21, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 02:10, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: This is not a speedy keep. Speedy keeps can only happen if the nominator withdraws the vote to delete and there have been no delete votes so far, or the nomination was in bad faith. Stifle 21:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but it will be necessary to monitor this page closely owing to its peculiar history. I suggest strong disclaimers to alert the casual reader that Afshar's work cannot be considered established science. The many Speedy Keeps visible on this page are consistent with claims of sockpuppets. WP:Guide to deletion says "Speedy keep is rarely used. It implies that the user thinks the nomination was based on an obvious misunderstanding and that the deletion discussion can be closed early." Earlier versions of this page could easily be construed as original research, so deletion is at least a option worth thinking about. Dave Kielpinski 05:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I think it would be completely against the spirit of science to even consider this article for deletion. Though there hasn't been much news on it, has this experiment not been repeated twice? If there are problems with the scientific establishment so deep that something challenging established ideas is censured(this isn't the only instance) let's hope wikipedia can at least be more open minded. A better suggestion: delete the article on string theory, at least there is an "afshar experiment." If the experiment were held to the same standards as string speculation then it would be infinitely superior. -- Anon —the preceding unsigned comment is by 63.254.142.215 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, with strong misgivings. This kind of page can be seriously misleading. In particular, the current page tends to give the impression that the results of this experiment are important - in fact, the results are exactly what anyone would have predicted. The only question is whether Afshar's interpretation of the experiment is compatible with his or others' understandings of the idea of complementarity. --Reuben 17:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- I would also recommend that the article be reduced substantially in length, unless Afshar himself can be persuaded to distance himself from it. The current article is tied far too strongly to his point of view. --Reuben 18:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- I have no problem with the article size reduction, but have every problem with not being able to at least clarify what I have done, or why. It would be charlatanism to ascribe to me what I have not claimed, without a recourse to correct the allegation. After all, if the experiment carries my name, I should be able to explain what it is, or correct mistakes others make in describing its content and my claims. I will avoid directly editing the page given I can communicate my corrections and updates to a responsible, and unbiased editor who would then objectively update the article. I do not see how it could be done otherwise. BTW there is a Crossed beam version of the experiment that is much easier to understand without the need to go into Fourier optics. Anybody who wishes to add that version please contact me in my user talk page. -- Prof. Afshar 18:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The NSG and Damon Jablons
Does not appear to meet the criteria of WP:MUSIC. See also Damon Jablons. Delete. -- The Anome 18:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
The nsg actually do meet a few of the criteria:
"Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city"
The nsg are one of the most appreciated and recognized artists in the north shore music scene. They have been mainstays since 2001, constantly attracting a visible and loyal fan bases.
It is unfortunate that their popularity has not reached the world of certain wikipedia editors, however that should not detract from the fact that they deserve recognition.
"Is cited in notable and verifiable sources as being influential in style, technique, repertory or teaching in a particular music genre."
Theie evolving style has become quite influential in the north shore scene. many bands have attempted to emulate their songs, finding that their identity is one that is shared by many, however the nsg have consistantly remained atop the scene's heirarchy.
It would be total bullshit if NSG was deleted, they are certainly some of the most progressive innovators in the tristate area.
The NSG are sweet as hell. no deletion!

My name is Marc Timothy Smith - the 'owner' of the Elsmar Cove.
I was shown several links here to my web site the other day. With all the fuss about this site and someone recently showing me some existing links I came and saw and signed up.
My field is quality assurance and business systems. I put in some external links to my forum in several topics (now all removed I see) because there are already existing 'commercial' links such as to isixsigma.com - I assume you are saying here that links to some "commercial" sites are OK but links to others are not OK.
I thought I would be helping here by adding some external links to the Elsmar Cove discussion forums in topic pages whose subject we focus on.
I added the Elsmar Cove page in part because it is the oldest quality assurance forum still on the internet.
BTW - If I was a "link spammer" I'd have been more discreet and put in many, many entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc T Smith (talk • contribs)

- We need all notable charities here. Like this one. You have made no real attempt to show why it's NN. -- JJay 17:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'd say it is not notable because it is very small and makes no claims, even on the full web site, to have made any real impact on the world. Given its age and the countries involved, I might have expected it to have been important in the second world war, but there is no mention of this. I can understand that the inclusion threshold for not for profits might be much less than for a for profit, but the turnover of this is less than that of a father and son company that could have a similar age. (I feel that WP:CORP needs expanding to give special treatment to not for profits, if this is notable.) Wrt to the royal patronage, from looking at the UK government sites on this (sorry I mislaid the URL), being old and not too controversial are exactly the things that get patronage, so patronage doesn't really add to the case. (That source suggested about 800 patronages each for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, so I would guess about 3,000 to 5,000 for the whole of UK royalty.) Incidentally, it was only registered as a charity in 1972, although I don't know when the register started. --David Woolley 19:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why controversial has anything to do with the issue. You do not need to be controversial to be in an encyclopedia. Have you done any research on this group? Because I find it hard to believe that they have done nothing for the last 87 years. -- JJay 19:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- I'd have to agree, the way it is going, especially as the only way people will find the article at the moment is likely to be the Afd listing, but I think one implication of this is that there needs to be a new guidline for charities (and the US equivalent of not for profit educational and scientific organisations) as this would have been thrown out as both a local social club or as a for profit business. As it is, I'm not sure why one shouldn't dump half the UK register of charities into Wikipedia. (For those not familiar with the UK charity concept, charities basically provide benefits for people other than those that provide their funds and, as a result, once registered, get special tax treatment. The Wiki Foundation could be a charity in the UK.) --David Woolley 22:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Contreras is an Icon of that area, I found rellevance for it following the Stanley "Tookie" Williams execution last night. It follows the lines of an encylopedic entry. Name, date of birth, notation of importance or considerable notoriaty. I have been researching this man in particular since 2003. I attended the University of Miami law school & attended the Miami-Dade Police introduction seminar. I heard his name brought up after the topic came up of the 1998 robbery of DEA agents and Drug trafficer Argeno Castillo in South Miami
NSUGRADUATE97
if you can merrit and allow other entires of silly and childish value then why is it a notorious criminal and his biography are booted. Also he just so happend to be a local football phenom during his highschool years, after his arrest his conviction was mention on ESPN2, he was in the herald...
Also he is currently a Reggaeton artist with Wisin y Yandel

[edit] The Beat Monks
Nearly invisible band & copyvio from http://www.myspace.com/thebeatmonks. Madman 19:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, they may be obscure, but that still does not warrant the deletion of it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of information, and this band does indeed exist. So my vote is to keep it up. By the way, I greatly wikified the article so it should at least please the casual viewer if nothing else.Turk Ranma 20:58, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- In regards to the copyvio, I personally know one of the members of the band and he gave me permission to use the pictures. Of course, this can't be directly proven. The best thing to do is send a comment to User:Beamguarden who started the article for proof.
- If I may ask, what is the reasoning behind deleting an article just because it is obscure? So far no one has seemed to justify why exactly they have a problem with this fact. Sure, I could understand if it was a complete vanity article; simply showcasing some random person or thing. But this group does indeed fit a the ambient/instrumental genre of music and has released multiple records and songs fitting said genre. Lastly, (and believe me I'm not trying to gloat) the article does indeed fit the wiki requirements in regards to format and appearence. So at least, as I stated above, the casual passerby who does not intend to delete the article, will get more than their share of info on the band.Turk Ranma 21:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Turk Ranma did indeed update the page. It looks pretty darn right good now (better than many many pages). Still concerned about the non-notability of the band, and the fact that much of the verbiage is taken from http://www.myspace.com/thebeatmonks. Madman 23:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Delete per nom; despite the release of 3 CDs, they were on an indie label. The Influences section is now a black and blue wall of words that exhausts the reader by the time the fifth line is read. Regarding the pictures: there's a difference between giving an editor permission to use the pictures and giving Wikipedia permission, and it must be verifiable that permission is given to Wikipedia to use them if the pictures are to be part of an article.

[edit] 漫画
This is the English Wikipedia. Why do we have a page with a Japanese title? --Khoikhoi 21:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't even think the search engine for English Wikipedia can even accept those characters. 23skidoo 22:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Yes it can....however the average English keyboard is probably incapable of rendering them, you have to cut n paste. That having been said, the characters do seem to point to words that when Anglicised sound something like Manga. Jcuk 22:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as nothing links to it, and nothing ever will. Flyboy Will 01:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
CommentIt's possible to search for this article by typing in with the correct input methods, and it doesn't require a special keyboard or hardware to input Japanese text. However, thinking about it, I don't know if this article can be useful or not. Having one extra article with not many words doesn't seem to make any difference. Also, I made a list of redirects of Japanese articles, such as 折り紙, 日本政府, etc. They redirect to their English counterparts. But on futher thought, if a person doesn't understand English and types those characters onto "search", maybe they shouldn't be reading the English Wikipedia at all? --Ichiro 03:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Delete On the second thought, these articles may not even show up on most computer which doesn't have Asian font installed, so it will be useless for most people. But then again, does anybody reads every article on wikipedia? --Ichiro 03:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect - nothing wrong with redirecting this to a disambiguation page in English. Better yet, move the article to an appropriate disambiguation page title. --HappyCamper 03:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, regarding redirection in English, this title is written the same way in three languages, but are pronounced differently. It's mainly because the fact that we Japanese people, borrowed (and never gave it back btw ^^) Chinese characters and we are still using them today. We developed different pronounciations, but we write the word 漫画 in the same way it is written in both languages. So which one of the reason why I created this article, but right now maybe this article is pointless. --Ichiro 03:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Another comment, the text 漫画 in both Japanese and Chinese, refers to the same thing, comic books. Japanese even uses the word manga to describe American Comic Books. However, in the context of English, the word manga (漫画), strictly refers to Japanese comic books and not comic books in general. So there is a difference.--Ichiro 03:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I forgot about this subtelty. Well, as they say, 'redirects are cheap' :-) Would it be better to redirect to manga instead then? --HappyCamper 04:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - I am happy for this as a disambiguation page. It is quite reasonable to suggest that a Japanese user might not know the English word for something and might type in the Japanese word (above) and then want the English words that it means (it is one word in Japanese, 3 words in English). They might be confused which word it means, so this is reasonable. They are looking for English words, but don't know the English words to look for. I can see the use for this.

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. Hipocrite - «Talk» 03:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Abstain While this is a particularly well-written school articles, it is nonetheless an article about a school for which nothing spaecial can be said.

- Keep article about NES game. I believe this article began as a hoax - I haven't been able to find any info on a title with that home-invasion plot. The second editor categorized the game as an NES game and dated it 1991, clearly identifying it with the same game the article linked by the nominator is about. Here's another article. That game, one of only a few hundred licensed NES games (and by a major developer Konami), does warrant an article. I jumped the gun and rewrote the article as a minimal stub for that game, then reverted so that others could see the article about the game in question. My rewrite, the one I vote to keep unless someone can verify the home-invasion game, is here. ×Meegs 01:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- I have now added references to back up the article, which can be verified by reference to Church records.
- Sorry to have gone about this in the wrong way, but, stupidily, I accidentally posted the article before I'd mentioned the most important aspect of Alfred Pitchcock - that is, his design for a more efficient type of stirrup. It has often been argued that the old design resulted in undune pressure on the instep area of the foot, and, over time, can lead to various medical problems, including excessive pronation of the feet.
- I'll have to check some of my medical evidence, and then I'll finish it off.
- Sorry for any inconvenience. -- Unsigned comment left by Archibald Wednesday
- What are you talking about? There isn't a single source listed on the page Pitchcock's notability (the stirrup invention)! --MisterHand 12:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Um, what else do you want? I've given the Church records, and now I've checked I've given medical evidence, and also links to pages with descriptions of the areas of the feet that could be damaged, and that Pitchcock intended to save. (Sorry for not signing the last comment, btw, I'm a bit new to this, as you might have guessed)
Um, and, sorry, but can you clarrify what you mean by "Pitchcock's notability (the stirrup invention)!" - Archibald Wednesday 12:16. 20th December 2005
- Delete - neither reference cited (further reading) mentions Pitchcock. No evidence anywhere to suggest that he is anyone. Similarity in name to Alfred Hitchcock suggests a hoax. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, yes I know neither of those mention Pitchcock, they're about the areas of the foot that the old stirrup design damaged, and that Pitchcock's design protected. As far as I know, Suffolk Church records aren't online at the moment, and so I can't provide a link to them. As for his similarity to Alfred Hitchcock - that's partly why I've mentioned him. One of the reasons there has been interest in Pitchcock is because his name is similar to Hitchcock. In all honesty, an alternative stirrup design is quite boring, and I would have ignored him, has it not been for the comical similarity of his name to Hitchcock, and it is in this way that most people will come across him. I'm sorry I can't provide more references, but he is quite an obscure figure, and there aren't many sites that contain obscure local history on the internet - Archibald Wednesday, 1:41, 20th December 2005
- If, by your own admission, he is an "obscure figure," then he has no place here on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Notability. --MisterHand 20:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- In reply to MisterHand: I'm sorry, but I do not agree with your last statement at all. I don't want to get too heated about this, but, I feel that I should defend myself by quoting Wikipedia's first of the five unchangeable pillars which states that "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia incorporating elements of general encyclopedias, specialized encyclopedias, and almanacs." I think the word "specialized" is important there, since it does suggest that Wikipedia goes beyond including every day knowledge that can be Googled and found anyway. Notability, on the other hand, is a controversial topic anyway - and indeed, the article you cite contains numerous references on why Pitchcock should be included as well as why he should not. As it states, if he is not important, no one will search for him, and, as such, will not constitude a significant server load. Indeed, having read that, I feel even more so that this is a valid entry for Wikipedia.
Now, I'll admit that Pitchcock is an obscure figure, however, I don't see that as a reason for not including him, nor the fact that there is very little about him on Google - if anything that should be a reason FOR including him. Now, I also know that he is perhaps not the most important figure in the history of the world, but I still think he should be included:
1.) He is an historical figure in the town of Bungay, and is known in the surrounding areas. Indeed, he is viewed upon in rather a sympathetic life, as a voice of common sense that was ignored (despite being right about his alternative design), and this is something that many people in the surrounding areas feel they can sympathise with.
2.) His alternative stirrup design, although unsuccessful does present an interesting thought - after all, his design was superior, but, due to poor "marketing" if you want in the middle ages, it never took off. It's quite an interesting parallel to modern life and shows that "marketing" has always been important.
3.) The similarity of his name to Alfred Hitchcock presents him as a slightly humorous figure, and does provide a wider interest for people - I don't doubt Wikipedia is browsed by people looking for articles that attract their attention and curiosity, and I believe he does that.
4.) I also think his re-design of the stirrup is interesting in light of contemporary events, mainly the Peasants Civil War. It does reflect the contemporary attitude that things should not stay the same - admittedly, on a much smaller scale that the civil war, which believed the fundamental basis of society should change, but it does suggest that attitudes existed at many levels of the peasants psyche. - Archibald Wednesday 09:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

- Speedy delete - nothing salvagable here Barneyboo (Talk) 23:56, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - the article is linked very prominently in Ocean. If the content is valuable, it should be merged into that section in Ocean. ×Meegs 00:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - but surely there's an article in Wikipedia that talks about where the oceans came from? -GTBacchus(talk) 00:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Keep per TikiWiki. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)- Keep There is nothing in Wikipedia that explains where the oceans came from. I was hoping that other users could help expand this article in time, but appearantly no one has. Roman Soldier 01:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
-how about recreating the page under Origin of the World's Oceans? Roman Soldier 01:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I think the best way to go about it would be to include that information as a section in the Ocean article, and then if that section gets so big that it doesn't fit well in the main article, it would then be appropriate for it to "bud off" as a separate one.-GTBacchus(talk) 02:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Delete. As Roman Soldier points out, there seems to be nothing on the Wikipedia on this topic. The closest that I could find in a quick search was a brief mention at Early bombardment phase. Unfortunately, this article is not was is needed. This article should be deleted, and hopefully someone will soon create a non-stubby Origin of Earth's oceans, which will cover the different theories on the ocean's origins.BlankVerse 02:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC)- Comment - I've left a note at Talk:Ocean#Origin of Oceans? -GTBacchus(talk) 02:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - Proven to be highly relevant. See Google "Results 1 - 20 of about 145,000 English pages for ocean's origin (0.30 seconds)". The topic is also distinct from "Ocean(s)", in that it can be expanded with sub topics, such as "non-scientific theories" which would be inappropriate for a standard "Ocean" page. "Past Non-scientific theories" as to the origin of the ocean might reference examples of Greek Mythology, and "current non-scientific theories" might reference modern day religious belief(s). We should not force topics into mergers based on a common word, or into constrictive brevity as a result. Topics should be given room to grow where there might be interest. Good candidates for this might be topics that are 1) highly relevant and 2) distinct, by virtue of the types of sub categories that could possibly follow. This topic is both and has been prematurely put at risk for deletion. Moreover the user might not continue to contribute if they feel the environment is overly critical and has wasted his/her time. The user was correct in understanding the value of the topic as separate from "Ocean(s)". I have added a few additions to the topic to improve it. A reference and internal link should be placed on "Ocean(s)" to Ocean Origins --TikiWiki 05:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but rename - looks stubby, but at least it's a start (I agree with BL Lacertae's original comment though. What was there when she put the notice on looked rubbishy). The name needs an overhaul though - I'd suggest Origin of the Earth's oceans or similar. Grutness...wha? 11:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Rename per above. Some moons may have oceans as well, so it is necessary to distinguish the world. An explanation is probably needed due to Giant impact hypothesis, which stripped off a good portion of the Earth's surface layers. — RJH 16:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per Grutness Jcuk 20:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete Trite. Simplistic. The number of Google 'hits' has nothing to do with this articles significance. The article contributes no information. 82.38.97.206 21:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)mikeL
- CommentIt's relevance is a verified fact. Significance can be an opinion as it seems to be in your comment. A contribution should stay as long as it's relevant to a reasonable number of people. It's not trite. Kids write papers on the origins of all kinds of formations for school. They could pick this up on a google search and find Wikipedia. --TikiWiki 00:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep There should be an article here about the origin of the oceans. -- Astrokey44|talk 09:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment After a week and a half this page still hasn't closed. I'm still shocked that anyone even nominated it for deletion. All of the crap on Wikipedia and we can't have an article about the origins of the oceans? And the capitialization problem can be solved simply by moving the page.
