[edit] Drunken_Masters_vs._the_Moon

  • Do Not Delete, One of the principle virtues of Wikipedia is its ability to catalogue the small-time or niche things that would never be covered in a conventional encyclopedia. For example, internet memes such as O RLY?, which have a strong following in their own 'cult' communities would not and could not be featured in other encyclopedias because their format prevents them from listing niche notables. This readio show has a following in its particular community, it is one of the highest-rated shows on a St. Louis metropolitan radio station, KWUR. While the station's radio range itself does not boast broad accessability, their internet stream means that anyone with a connection the world over could potentially take advantage of their programming. Further, effort has clearly been exerted in the formation and maintenance of this article. This entry clearly conforms to the quality standards of Wikipedia. I think that this article and other niche notables do indeed have a place on Wikipedia and should therefore not be deleted. 21:00, 6 December 2005

  • Do Not Delete, This show will last for two semesters and is broadcast via the airwaves, note KWUR. If you make a judgement on the size of the show as a criterium for deletion, then you would need to delete all pages on every radio show. I do think we would all agree Howard Stern does deserve a place on Wikipedia. This site is trying its best to conform to the standards of Wikipedia while chronicaling a niche part of history. Don't delete this article or a stub on the height of radio broadcast towers should also be deleted; they are just as irrelevent. At least here there is an interest and an valient effort to provide future generations information on a dying media form, freefrom radio broadcasting. ajpappal 05:00, 5 December 2005 (CST)

  • Delete: A college radio show that is only 3 months old. It is available as a stream, but, then again, most college radio stations are. No evidence that this one has achieved a significant effect on the world of radio or people. Geogre 15:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete, Wikipedia is a resource for free global knowledge and with the help of anyone with access to the internet, it has the obvious potential to become the world's most diverse and authoritative source for information. Why then would an article about a "small university radio program" be tagged for deletion? As users of Wikipedia we are suppose to record our knowledge into this database for the curious minds of the world. There are policies and criteria we must follow, but this article does not deviate from the standards any more than other articles which are revered for their presence. The answer to the question would seem to lie in the minds of those who want to regulate the information contained within wikipedia. Perhaps before one considers an article for deletion they must ask themselves if they have the global authority to remove human knowledge from this unprecedented resource. Although just a small radio program, it nonetheless exists and has full right to be recorded into history. Who are we to decide what cannot be recorded into history? We cannot even begin to comprehend the utility that these "small" entries will carry in the future. Instead of deleting information, these articles should be suggested for standardization to the accepted guidelines of wikipedia where they can exist side by side with other articles recording the activities and perceptions of humanity. --trhermes 03:11, 7 December 2005 (CST)

[edit] December 13, 1981

Fact is already mentioned in 1981 and other articles related to the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaf (talk • contribs)

  • Comment - not sure of the policy with dates. I thought I saw somewhere that we had a whole huge listing of dates. Or is that just categories? If so, then merge. If not, then keep. Not sure. Zordrac 01:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Use the correct markup for dates, such as 1981-12-31, and the answer will appear. ☺ Uncle G 01:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • What's 12-31? There are only 12 months. Or do you mean 31-12? Zordrac (talk) is a wishy washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:56, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Americans switch those two numbers. What's 31-12 in Europe is 12-13 in the US. That's why they refer to September 11 as 9/11 and 11/9. - Mgm|(talk) 11:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
          • 9/11? Oh you mean S11? LOL. 9/11 is 9th of November.  :). Its funny how Americans like to have their own way of doing things, that's different to the entire rest of the world, and then insist that everyone else is weird. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 15:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete; we don't generally keep pages for individual dates and it is already on December 13 and 1981. Peyna 01:12, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, as the fact mentioned in the article is already on December 13 and 1981 articles. Carioca 02:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia would explode if we involved every single individual date in history. Croat Canuck 05:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect to December 13. NSLE (讨论+extra CVU) 08:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, we use separate articles for dates and years. - Mgm|(talk) 11:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • 'Delete --Bluezy 12:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Çómmént I think by listing the date this way it allows the wiki software to correctly display it for each individual user. Cause 31-12 makes no sense.-- --(User | Talk | Contribs) 15:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment the wikimagic will automatically display many dates according to your preferences if you've set them and if you actually have some (which unregistered users don't, so unregistered readers will see dates in the literal format they're in in the article source). For instance [[2005-12-02]], [[December 2]],[[2005]] and [[2 December]],[[2005]] might all appear the same:2005-12-02, December 2, 2005 and 2 December 2005 if you are a logged-in user with preferences set. If you log out and look at those again they'll look different. Tonywalton  | Talk 16:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete due the fact that dates and years are in separate articles.--MONGO 03:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Street and Racing Technology

Judging by the tone, his article seems to have been written by an employee of DaimlerChrysler for the express purpose of advertising an engineering team and its products. In my opinion, there is no academic or informational value to retaining this article; we may as well add an article about IBM's department of accounts payable. Wbutler 01:28, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete As per above. will381796 01:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete borderline spam Masterhomer 03:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. It reads like a promotional pamphlet. B.Wind 03:59, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Completely rewrite. A search for DaimlerChrysler PLUS "Street and Racing Technology" turns up about 800 Google hits, many from mainstream automotive review sites. I agree the current article sounds like an advertisement (has anyone checked to see if it was copied from somewhere?) But there is a legitimate topic. Firebug 05:53, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, advertising/marketingspeak. there's no need to keep this in order to write a new article. Post a request at Talk:DaimlerChrysler if you have to. - Mgm|(talk) 11:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete You could make a case for an article on this, but there's nothing worth keeping in the current version. Richfife 20:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Completely rewrite I think that their should be an article on the SRT group, but this must have been copied off of the SRT website. Poonkla 09:25, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kael'thas Sunstrider

Kael'thas Sunstrider (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.

Archive 1

As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.

This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.

This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.

This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.

Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.

This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep; (a) try properly AfDing it, which is clearly described on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and does not involve moving the old page, and (b) if you're going to avoid a mass deletion, then avoid a mass deletion and treat each article distinctly. Don't post a bunch of reasons the article should be deleted and then state that they may not be relevant. Furthermore, the claim that a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all is wrong, given the number of times I've went to Wikipedia trying to understand an out-of-context quip someone made, and irrelevant. A complete stranger to English literature isn't going to try and look up Moby Dick. Someone not familiar with Australia isn't going to look up Robert Askin. Not every article in Wikipedia has to be for everyone.--Prosfilaes 22:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as fancruft. Bobby1011 06:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No indication of significant coverage from secondary sources to demostrate notability per WP:FICT. Also fails WP:NOT#PLOT. Doctorfluffy 17:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - These articles should not be deleted.

DarthSidious 07:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)DarthSidious

  • Strong Keep - one of the links leads to the official Warcraft site(!). Such as source can't be considered "secondary" Dimts 19:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

non-encyclopedic nonsense - invented by 9th grader during the summer ... ERcheck 01:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

*Speedy Delete per CSD:A1 (patent nonsense). Peyna 01:50, 2 December 2005 (UTC) **Okay, it might not quite qualify as patent nonsense, but it's pretty close. Peyna 01:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: 3/4 pants exist. See 17,000 google hits. Including this: [3], this [4] and many others. Commonly used product range. Note that we should have an article about this phenomenon. Wikipedia does not appear to have an article on the topic yet. three quarter pants does not exist. Zordrac (talk) is a wishy washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I rewrote the page so it is about 3/4 pants, which is what she is describing there. A lot of people think they are the first to invent something, not realising it already exists. Zordrac (talk) is a wishy washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
About the closest thing I could find is Capri pants, but this word is a neologism, so a redirect is a bit much. Peyna 03:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Nah, Capri pants are different. They might have similarities, but they are different. Zordrac (talk) is a wishy washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: In the shorts article, it mentions Shants. Perhaps these are all words for the same thing? Zordrac (talk) is a wishy washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:52, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as neologism. Add redirect if one must to 3/4 pant. Ifnord 20:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment-- Shpants is a neologism for 3/4 pants, and probably used only by a very small number of people. As such, I don't think it merits a redirect for the content of the current article. ERcheck 21:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gauntlet Systems

Was marked for speedy delete but its not one. Looks like a nn company so Delete --Jaranda(watz sup) 02:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. The company might be real, but they haven't done anything worthy of being in an encyclopedia. Fails to meet WP:CORP (proposed policy). Peyna 02:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - if its so unnotable, why the whole filled in box? Don't see why there is a problem with it. Zordrac (talk) Darwikinist, wishy washy and Eventualist 03:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Because someone was bored and had enough time to fill it in? I could make a very long and involved page about myself that would be very accurate, but it doesn't belong on Wikipedia because I haven't done anything worth of being in any encyclopedia. Nor has this company. Peyna 03:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • The fact that one of the company founders (Adam messinger (talk · contribs) and 68.167.205.26 (talk · contribs) appear to be one and the same.) filled in all of the corporate directory information from firsthand knowledge does not indicate notability.

      The way to write about one's relatives, one's organization, or one's company (see Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas) is to be scrupulous about using (and citing) third-party sources for every single thing in the article, and to not use firsthand knowledge anywhere. (Articles written that way rarely even come to AFD in the first place.) If this is not possible, because there are no third-party sources, then one should not write an article. If one does, the article is highly likely to eventually be deleted, as here. Uncle G 04:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. This looks like a start up that may go places, but not yet. Jtmichcock 03:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. New company NOn-notable Olorin28 03:53, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - founded in 2005? http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22Gauntlet+Systems%22 generates 41 hits, hardly notable. The only bluelinked key person listed in the infobox leads to a dab page, of which the only blue link is a footballer. I think not. Josh Parris#: 04:22, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Searching, I find nothing written about this company that isn't either sourced from the company itself or from one of its founders. I find no published works of any kind from sources that are independent of the company and its founders. There's no independent news or magazine coverage. There are no books about the company. Consumer organizations haven't issued any reports about the company. The company thus fails to satisfy the primary WP:CORP criterion. Since it is not part of a ranking list or a stock market index, it fails to satisfy the secondary criteria as well. Delete. Uncle G 04:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete it says its a start-up; we all know how many of those promtly become shut-downs and how few become Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 14:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Filling in boxes is easy. Getting your company to be so successful that it is referred to by non-customers and by the press is difficult. This start up is not yet successful enough to be an industry leader. Geogre 15:38, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to U.S. one dollar bill. I'm not an expert in this, but I think that everything is already in the target article. It's all in the history if I missed something, though. -Splashtalk 21:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One dollar Federal Reserve Note

There's no reason for this article to exist. Much of it is a doppleganger of U.S._one_dollar_bill, an article about the exact same piece of currency. Tom Lillis 02:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Re-direct to U.S. one dollar bill. Georgia guy 02:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy redirect Gazpacho 02:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree, redirect, though i seriously doubt this redirect will ever be used for practical reasons. RabidMonkeysEatGrass, It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine (and I know you will feel fine, too) 02:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to U.S. one dollar bill. Of course, when I was a kid, there were, let me see if I've got this right... two different kinds of one-dollar bills: silver certificates with, um, um, um, let's see today's Federal Reserve notes have green Treasury seals so the Silver Certificates must have been blue... and United States Notes, which had red treasury seals. For some reason I don't believe there were $1 Federal Reserve Notes at that time. IIRC only the five dollar bill actually came in all three different flavors: Federal Reserve Notes, Silver Certificates, and United States Notes. Isn't that interesting? No? You say it's boring? Never mind... Dpbsmith (talk) 02:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to U.S. one dollar bill - only significant difference is in the preamble, which should be included (somewhere) in a U.S. Currency history or U.S. Currency: Notes heading, to elaborate and illustrate points mentioned by dpbsmith. B.Wind 03:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect Merge with U.S. one dollar bill - was going to vote keep, but saw other comments. Zordrac (talk) Darwikinist, wishy washy and Eventualist 03:22, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete since nothing here is not in U.S. one dollar bill. A redirect isn't need since it is a very unlikely search. Peyna 03:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect this odd adventure because redirects are fun and cheap - also, if any material from this article is merged into a U.S. one dollar bill, the redirect preserves the GFDL. BD2412 T 03:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect An article for this just the $1 FRN is highly unnecessary. Infact, I'm currently rewriting the U.S. one dollar bill article and should be done by this weekend. --Kurt 04:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to U.S. one dollar bill.--MONGO 06:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC) In looking all this over, there is a minor distinction that may be noted. I have yet to determine if I now support merge or a keep vote, but would prefer at least a merge and collaboraton between Paul Hanson and Kurt.--MONGO 03:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and comment As originator of this article, I will provide an explanation. (One is certainly warranted, and I agree that the case for a separate article isn't immediately apparent.) A Federal Reserve Note is, as most of you know, different from a Silver Certificate or a United States Note, however $1 notes (and other denominations) have been issued in all three of these forms, as well as others. Yes, it is certainly possible to smush them all together in one page about the $1 note, but there are several very distinct issues of that note, and considering the a) interest numismatists would have in the topic and b) ease and cheapness of including more info and detail on a separate page, I strongly think this page (and others like it) should be kept. I of course would have created articles for the other denominations and other series of notes. Having this would make Wikipedia a highly authoritative source on the history of U.S. currency (an area in which I am greatly interested, as you no doubt could tell) just as it is a respected source of information on other topics. Please, keep this article and let me work on improving it further. If the entire series draws the wrath of the WP public, then ditch it--redirecting it back to the old article is easy. Give it a chance, though. Thank you to all for discussing this and wikilove to all. Paul 14:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • More comments While I'm on the subject, I'll share a few other thoughts. Firstly, there are articles for each type of United States dollar coin, and the article for the note could easily be modeled after this one. Secondly, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a "U.S. one dollar bill"-yes, that's what everyone calls it, but hairsplitting aside, our readers deserve a precisely titled article describing what the thing actually is (what it looks like, who issued it, and what its role in the history of the U.S. economy is--each note has a different story.) Continuing in that vein, the history of U.S. paper money is far too rich to be condensed into one article for each denomination - images of each issue could be presented on the article about it - and far more information could be presented (images of every one dollar note would clutter up a single article...put the first and most recent on the main article and the others in their own!) Anyway, please consider the usefulness of this article and the ones like it, and I look forward to working on them. Paul 14:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
First: naming convention is that articles go under the most common name, not the most technically correct name. Second, everything should go into the single article on the one-dollar bill until it gets too big, for two reasons: this is an encyclopedia, not a desk encyclopedia or a Britannica 3 "Micropaedia" and articles should follow summary form, starting with the basics and getting deeper; second, splitting articles tends to result in much unnecessary repetitive material. For example, if you have one article you can describe the Treasury seal and in depth and then say "the Treasury seal on the United States note is similar but printed in red" without having to describe it all again... Dpbsmith (talk) 15:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I see what you mean, although I believe the differences between the different notes are more subtle and more significant than just the color of the treasury seal. And yes, you are right that the most common name is better than the most technical one--99% of Americans wouldn't know a US note from an FRN, and therefore just calling the thing a one dollar note is useful in clarifying. However, if you look at the one dollar coin article, I think you will see information on that very large topic (in terms of how many different coins there actually are) structured in a clear and informative manner. That is how I strongly advocate we proceed with the articles on notes. As far as repetitive material, that would only be a problem if the superficial differences between the notes are described. If more useful information is included, than that will cease to be an issue. Paul 15:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Dpsmith hit it on the head: there should be a section in U.S. Currency that can describe the various types of currency (United States Note vs. Federal Reserve Note vs. Silver Certificate vs. Gold Certificate) that generally covers all the denominations (and can use different denominations in its pictures) instead of slicing and dicing it so thinly as to make it useless. Wikipedia would be better served concentrating on having these note types in one heading and the history of the design of the currency in each of the denominations' sections/articles instead. 147.70.242.21 20:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Now undecided - current content is good and should not be lost; whether that's a merge or keep I wouldn't like to say. I explicitly do not buy the "cruft justifies more cruft" argument but this article does have encyclopaedic content of some emrit, even if the numerology bit is somewhat overdone (I'd say 13 letters in E Pluribus Unum is coincidence, not numerology, unless anyone can prove otherwise?) - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 10:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect until such space is required to sustain a sperate article, which I believe is not far off considering the rapid expanse and exposure of the WikiProject Numismatics. Many members now seem to have a priority interest in currency(bills/banknotes), including myself. The many different types of American currency are identifiably seperate from each other. An all-in-one article should be complete with individual sub-articles when information amount is increased. Joe I 01:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

      • Actually it doesn't open up a pandora's box. The pandora's box is already wide open, as each and every porn article on Wikipedia has their own official site as a reference. Indeed, all of the sites are required to have something in order to meet WP:V. So unless Wikipedia makes a ruling to ban all porn sites, such a criticism can't work. But I am suggesting that a consensus be made on what to do with pornography related articles, so if you like you can contribute to that. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep His site is one of the most popular on the net. And since making November (film) a featured article in time for the DVD isn't advertising, neither is this. Bangbus has a page, and there are plenty of articles on wikipedia less "important" than Milf hunter (1000 alexa ranking is high). Jedpressgrove 04:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Question. What is Wikipedia's policy regarding porn sites? It's been estimated that about two-thirds of the Internet traffic is visiting porn sites, and many of the most-visited sites are hardcore in nature. B.Wind 04:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors. Objections to coverage of pornography topics simply based upon content are invalid, and are soundly rejected by most editors. However, that doesn't excuse pornography topics from the requirement of verifiability, although sometimes some editors try to distract the argument away from verifiability by trying to make the argument about content. Many people in the pornography industry are unverifiable by their own deliberate choice, to protect their identities because of the nature of what they do, and thus make themselves too secret for Wikipedia. Much of the information published about pornography actors and actresses, including (in many cases) their names, is simply made up. Some editors apply the Google Test to pornography topics, but, as explained at Wikipedia:Google Test, there is a whole sub-industry of the pornography industry that is devoted to gaming Google, and it is utterly useless as any sort of metric. The best tests are the WP:BIO tests for biographies and news coverage from sources that are independent of the subject, and the WP:WEB test for media coverage from sources that are independent of the subject. People such as Danni Ashe and Traci Lords satisfy such criteria. Uncle G 05:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

    • I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not sure if there are specific guidelines regarding porn.

Better yet, let's hope that the Wikipedia policy reflects Some guy's and my concerns. B.Wind 04:23, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. If the article is about the person, then it should be deleted as non-notable. And while the website meets the Alexa criteria of a 10000 ranking or better, it fails to contain information that makes it a useful work of reference, as per WP:WEB Kevin 04:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The article appears to be about the actor who uses the nom de plume "Milf Hunter" (much as Adam Glasser calls himself "Seymore Butts") as opposed to the site. We certainly have articles on less notable porn stars. 23skidoo 04:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't see him as non-notable, especially in certain 'communities.' Hmm, not sure how to put forward a delete nomination for Drew Curtis. And i will lengthen the article.

First, the actor's name is misspelled (should be "Shawn" [5] [6]). Then, the article fails to provide some basic information about the site: When was it founded? (ca. Oct. 2001 according to this review Link may contain adult content) What is the company behind it? (The domain is registered to RK Netmedia, Inc.). What is the business model? (Subscriptions apparently, see the cited review) According to a poster in this forum Link may contain adult content, the site is part of a larger network of porn sites run by a company called "Nasty Dollars".)

  • Keep - this is the most well known of all of the internet porn sites (other than ones like playboy etc that have their own magazines). They have their own feature films etc, and have something in the order of 100 other porn sites as spin offs or inspired by. Also remember that this was the first MILF porn site, something which became an actual category of porn sites, because it was so popular. When I was seeing some of the other porn sites in here, I was wondering if this one existed. But it should be renamed to MILF Hunter, to be accurate. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 21:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - just an addendum here. Bang bus, which is an existing less notable article, seems to be a spin off from MILF hunter... Also, you should note that the Alexa rank for porn sites is unrealistic, as there are more than 1 site for the exact same place. There are I believe 15 different web sites that are mirrors of MILF hunter, all with (slightly) different content. Therefore, its true Alexa ranking would be around 300th. And we are thinking of deleting the 300th most popular web site in the world? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 22:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - I expanded hugely on the article. Note that Shawn Rees is *NOT* Milf Hunter. Milf Hunter refers to the phenomenon. Shawn Rees *occasionally* refers to himself as "The hunter" but almost never as "Milf Hunter". Whilst he is in *almost* every video (there are a few with just 2 girls going at it), it does not necessarily revolve around him. However, it should be noted that most of the other MILF copies (all based on this site) have a variety of men as the focus, and hence MILF Hunter will too if and when Shawn Rees gives up/gets too old/etc. It is therefore not a biography. And indeed, describing it purely as a web site is misleading. They have had feature films and videos and DVDs and all sorts of things. It is better described as a phenomenon. I am astounded that something like this was even nominated for deletion. As I said elsewhere, it is in fact harder for a porn site to meet the alexa ranking test because they have so many mirrors and visitors do not all go to the same web site. For it to make it by 10 times in spite of that makes this nomination quite silly. Of all internet porn sites that you could consider, this is the most notable.

[edit] Hypercluster

Arxiv, google and the Harvard abstract service show no use of the term "hypercluster" in the astrophysics community. It is not a real term appearing in literature and thus does not require an article. -- Xerxes 04:29, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

The term does appear to have some use referring to computer clusters, but I can't find anything related to astronomy. Peyna 04:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • weak delete. I agree in only finding reference to computing. Except for one article, but it is not clear whether here "Maybe scientists will find evidence for superclusters gravitationally bound in a hypercluster." it is being used as a term, or to create a neologism extending the concept of superclusters. If someone can provide evidence for use of the term, I will readily change my vote. jnothman talk 04:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as hyper-neologsim. It's a term that's hypothetically applicable to a hypothesized phenomona that hasn't actually been observed yet. FRS 20:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as the term "hypercluster" isn't really recognized by astrophysics. "Supercluster" is another matter. Jtmichcock 00:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was speedily deleted as the author has admitted this was a hoax intended to make a point for a Dartmouth College newspaper article. As a journalist myself, I can appreciate the misguided reasoning, but I strongly urge the authors to consider Wikipedia's policies before wasting our time. I won't block for this violation... but others might. FCYTravis 21:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

        • Considering that Google indexes that website, it has not yet indexed that page, which suggests the creation date is false. Also, I highly doubt someone born in 1985 graduated from Dartmouth in 1998 and still contributes to a blog there. Peyna 05:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Also notice that the "reference" has a link for "comments" while the other postings at that time do not. Apparently such a feature was not added to the web page until a much later date.

  • Delete this guy. There are 594 Google hits for Arthur Baron [10] However, they are about an older musician who played with Duke Ellington not this guy. "Arthur Baron" molecular economics gets 0 Google results see [11] and given that he is 20, he wouldn't be expected to have made much of a contribution to the field.

  • Delete The Night Time is the Right Time...--64.12.117.9 06:03, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • This and Molecular economics (AfD discussion) have all the hallmarks of a university student hoax. The mutually supporting articles and the inclusion of a purported reference are unusual. But as per Capitalistroadster and Peyna, the articles do not withstand scrutiny. The fact that Arthur W. Baron is a contributor to The Dartmouth Review, which AaronS is citing here as evidence, is also telling. From all appearances, AaronS is in on the hoax, and this is a prank played on Mr Baron, by Review staffers, rather than by him. Where imagination has particularly failed the perpetrator(s) is in the litany of comments in the AFD discussions offering personal testimony, stating that the article should be kept because it is "interesting", and claiming the existence of sources but not actually supplying them. This is an age-old "keep our hoax" pattern. Delete. Uncle G 06:22, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Congratulations. Ungle G wins the Sherlock Holmes award. This was an experiment for an upcoming article in The Dartmouth Times Courant about Wikipedia as an effective reference.--129.170.237.98 06:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • If true, phooey. My wife and I and my neighbors frequently pick up and dispose of litter left on the sidewalk, but I hope someone isn't going to dump a load of Forest Green trash on my sidewalk just to see whether we really do. If you disrupted Wikipedia to illustrate a point then you're a bunch of inconsiderate jerks and I hope that when U. S. News and World Report finds out about they'll break the tie between you and Columbia in Columbia's favor. Pffffftttt! Dpbsmith (talk) 13:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Zero Google hits for the guy except for what might be an ad for a performance, and certainly no references to his name in connection with molecular economics. 23skidoo 12:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable. The reason I call it unverifiable is that Molecular economics, also on AfD, makes the mistake of citing a source, a 1999 book supposedly published by the University Press of New England entitled "Subjectivist Labornomics" by Arthur W. Baron. Google books shows no hits on Subjectivist Labornomics and no hits on Arthur W. Baron. If this were an important theory and book, it is almost certain that a 1999 book itself or references to it would show up in Google Books. The University Press of New England's complete author/title index shows a book by Mary Baron entitled Wheat among Bones and one by Barron, Jonathan N on Jewish American Poetry but nothing resembling the cited book. Looks, sounds, feels, tastes and smells like a transparent hoax; the onus is on the contributor to show othersize. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per all the non-sockpuppet arguments above. Also comment to the person who states he is the subject of the article, which is a hoax by his friends - kudos for trying to help, but we must go through the process.

[edit] List of academic conferences

Delete, this list contains only two entries - the first (computer science) is merely a disambig link, and the second (optics) contains a link to a page that hasn't even been created. This article gives no useful information whatsoever. Mushin 04:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Note. As of listing, the article has been in existence for roughly one half hour. This should be taken into account in the voting process. For the time being, I'd wait to see if author fleshes this out before voting. B.Wind 04:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: This is an impossible to maintain list in its perfect form. "Academic conferences" would not just be the annual APA conference, wherever it may be, and the BPA conference, wherever it may be; nor would it be "MLA" and "ASECS." In a perfect form, it would be "MLA, SAMLA, NEMLA, SCMLA, PCMLA, MTMLA" then "ASECS, NESECS, SESECS, SCSECS," etc., and then it would be "SAMLA Atlanta 2005" and "SAMLA Charleston 2006" etc. I.e. a list of every academic conference would eat up all our servers, and that's just the United States. Add in the UK. Add in France. Add in Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, all the Scandinavian nations, Germany, Russia, etc. Simply put, there is no conceivable way that a list could be fashioned, much less maintained. Geogre 16:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Interiot makes a very good argument. I still have to say weak delete: I almost think that a list of major academic conferences should go into academic conference or some similar larger article and then the list be a {{prettytable}}. I know I'm getting into content advice and not dispensation deliberation, here, but I agree with the content, just not a list that can't be complete or maintained. Geogre 13:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Good point, I did not think of that reason, although it is definitely valid. Mushin | Talk 16:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, we tackle a similar problem in Trade fair#List of trade fairs. It's good to promintently note in the article that there are huge number of them, to make it clear that every single one shouldn't be listed there, as some simply aren't notable enough. However, I think it's good to have a list like this because, IMHO, there are some that aren't notable enough to have their own page on Wikipedia, but are notable enough to be briefly mentioned on some page somewhere on wikipedia, and something like this is one potential home for those medium-notability items. In terms of categorization, that can be worked out in time, organically, once the article starts growing. --Interiot 20:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as un-maintainable. At least trade fairs are held on a regular schedule for a number of years. While some academic conferences fit that description, there an awful lot of them, and an awful lot of ad-hoc one-off conferences. Where do you draw the line? -- Dalbury(Talk) 00:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Interiot. Let's see if this article goes anywhere - perhaps they will develop reasonable standards to deal with Geogre's concern, and it seems we have many other long lists around. ESkog | Talk 13:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Agree with Interiot. There is certainly a value in having a list of major regular confererences in all fields of academia. The fact that the list has just been created and does not have many entries for now should not be a reason to delete it for good. Instead, we should all work to enrich the list with what we know. In most academic fields, there are only a few truly prestigious conferences. For fields that have too many small conferences, sublists can be created to solve the problem.

Gut feeling is that he's not notable enough, but as someone who's not familiar with anime, I want to see what people's opinions are. Tentative feeling: Delete (speedy if clearly not notable). --Nlu 05:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Since a penciler makes the initial drawings and since this person worked for some very notable companies on several notable comics, I fail to see why he shouldn't be notable. His work involves more creativity than inking (coloring) the drawings. - Mgm|(talk) 11:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Pop Mhan (that is his real name) has been working for major comic book publishers since the mid 1990s. Besides Spyboy, he also drew Ghost Rider (one of his first projects). --Pc13 13:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moody Church

Delete: unencyclopedic article, with a strong religious POV, copied from the church's web site, about an old but not particularly notable local church. Nominated here on the assumption that the material on the web site is used by permission; otherwise this can just go to copyvio. MCB 05:29, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Pretty blatant copyvio; without more info we can't assume use by permission so I blanked everything but the AfD and added a copyvio tag. Peyna 05:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment-I think the Moody Church is moderately notable RM page on it, but as this is copyvio I could see deleting and starting over with something that's not. Or just dealing with it at the Moody Bible Institute article. No vote for now.--T. Anthony 06:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • If this was a legitimate article, I would vote to keep as the Church seems notable enough for mine. However, it is a copyvio so Delete. Capitalistroadster 08:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete since it's here. While it might have been posted by somebody from the church, they might not have permission from the writer to use it. Even if they do, they often don't really want to give permission to post it, as they give up some of their rights as to how it can be used and it can be modified however Wikipedia wants. Also, sometimes they never come back to Wikipedia after posting the article, so we're never able to find out if they have permission. Because of this, I'd suggest sending these types of articles to copyright problems. -- Kjkolb 10:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as copyvio w/o prejudice to re-creation; church was apparently founded by Dwight L. Moody, a significant figure in U.S. evangelical Protestantism, and seems notable. Smerdis of Tlön 17:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep The context the article was written under was from a link from the article on Ducktales, the television show and as such the information relating to it is from the television show.

A building featured in a cartoon. Delete --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:50, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nomination, or as a second choice redirect to Scrooge McDuck. The article is inaccurate in implying that the money bin comes from the DuckTales cartoon; it predates that cartoon by decades in the comic books. --Metropolitan90 06:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Money bin is referenced in many other places as well, and has been used in variations of Scrooge as well as Monty Burns from The Simpsons. Not solely related to cartoon, has cultural significance. Similar to Chewbacca Defence from South Park. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Social Hierarchies of English Accents and Dialects

Original research, or at the least an outline for a personal essay (with only one author in the edit history).

Parallel or Together ? 06:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as above - Research proposals on WP?? JPD 10:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:POV. I can't see this ever being presented as a neutral argument. Whilst it'd be interesting to find out about Accents and Dialects of the English language (particularly in England and United States, where they have the largest variation of accents of any country), suggesting that it has to do with race etc is just wrong. Maybe, just maybe, we could consider rewriting it as a whole other title, whole other way of doing it, about accents and dialects full stop. But nah, then we are starting over anyway. There is nothing of value in that article. Nothing to salvage. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: It's original research on a topic upon which there is massive scholarly research. British accents have long had class associations, and they still do. In Australia, the British accent (as opposed to "Ozzie" accent) had a class marker. In the United States, each region has a prestige dialect (e.g. Plantation Southern, Mid-Atlantic, Ivy, etc.). These class hierarchies are persistent. Furthermore, there have been new class dialects emerging, and some dialectology research suggests that regional accents themselves are becoming prestige markers (as there is an amalgamation of accents in the highly mobile middle class, leaving only the wealthy to grow up in one place and Black English as a universal "poor" accent). So, in fact, there is a great deal to say -- too much, in fact -- that could be and should be heavily cited. However, it isn't really encyclopedic so much as it would be scholarly. Geogre 17:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to user page for the time being. Right now, it's just a truism and an outline. I have every confidence that a valid, referenced, and encyclopedic article could indeed be written on the social status of various speech habits, and that there's enough here to warrant a separate article outside the broad overview of regional differences. As it stands now, the page is rather short on actual information. We should give the author every opportunity to finish it. Smerdis of Tlön 17:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • move to user page - Basically I agree with Geogre's observations but Smerdis of Tlön's conclusion. It's plainly a work in progress on a massive subject, so give the author a chance to develop the article, cite other sources, to avoid the "original research" problem. With so much trivia around, it seems wrong to get rid of something serious too hastilyJameswilson 02:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

There are plenty of hits on Google, but poke through them, and you'll see it's all pure speculation. No listing on IMDb. No verifiable details of any kind. Delete until it's something other than a rumor. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 07:02:50Z

  • Delete per WP:NOT a crystal ball. Peyna 07:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - in spite of words like "probably", "supposedly" and "rumour" in the article, it does get 43,300 google hits, which is more than just wild speculation. Predator 3 already has its own movie page. So I think we can say that the whole crystal ball thing isn't relevant here. It is definitely going to be released. It is definitely notable. It is definitely going to be called Predator 3. It is definitely very notable. Since wikipedia is a collaborative project, we should have no problems changing the article's contents to suit changes in what is happening with the project. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I'm telling you that I believe that 43,400 "people" have no reliable, verifiable information on the topic. Have you actually looked at any of the links? Just because it's in a Google search result doesn't mean it's worth anything. See WP:CITE and WP:V. If you can find anything beyond a bunch of fans wishing for a sequel, do share! :) —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 21:21:46Z
  • Delete: Cannot be verified. If we all wish hard enough, it still won't necessarily be. (See how long folks wished for the Firefly movie, and then see how it emerged with a different title than they expected and later than they thought. How about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie and how long that was not only anticipated but "in production" before it was in production?) When it exists (at the very least, when principal photography has wrapped), it will be time to say what it is. Geogre 17:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • There's 43,300 verifications there for you. That's about the most ridiculous interpretation of "unverifiable" I can imagine. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 18:12, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Counting Google hits is not research. You must actually read what Google turns up. If you have found a reliable source of information about this purported movie as a result of a Google search, tell us what it is. Otherwise, you have failed to counter what RasputinAXP and HorsePunchKid (who both clearly have read what is turned up) wrote above. Uncle G 20:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - even though this topic is of ZERO interest to me personally, in the interests of fairness I rewrote the article somewhat, with reference not only to the Predator 3 movie, but also the 4 other commonly used ways to describe Predator 3. The reality is that Predator 3 already exists, as both a novel, comic and video game. There already exists a script. It is just a matter of when, and what precisely the movie will contain. I gave details of what the movie will be about, and confirmation as to what stage it is at, to ensure that we make fair votes here. Apparently the recent hype (as evidenced by the 44,000 google hits) is because Arnold Schwarzenegger has recently agreed to be a part of the movie, and a director has been found, hence pre-production is underway. This, combined with the success of Aliens vs Predator has meant that this movie is now going to be made. If you delete this, then its silly, because it will just be re-created later on. I suppose that immediatists don't see the value in this. Delete this, and you free up server space for oh 3 months, before its going to be back in force and then we'll have a whole big argument about whether or not it should be up now, or later, etc. Not to mention the fact that there are a range of products that have already been released. It's kind of like refusing to have an article on Star Wars 7 because it hasn't been produced yet. There's already a book and a script there. Star Wars 7 movie, fine, maybe there's an argument to prevent that. But Star Wars 7 full stop should exist. Its a similar kind of case here. These are not mere rumours here folks.

  • Comment - I just noticed that the original author voted delete, so I guess then we have a no contest. I didn't realise that before. I still think its silly though. Does Star Wars 7 exist by the way? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 23:53, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

        • Not sure. There's so many fan fic books and spin offs that its hard to tell the official from the fan fics. There were initially 9 books in the series, 3 trilogies. First 3 on Annakin Skywalker, next 3 on his son Luke Skywalker and next 3 on their kids. At least, that's what I read when I was a kid, before all the fan fic books. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 01:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
          • There is no Star Wars 7 yet, nor any scripts for it yet. But their are a number of official novels and comics that show what happens afterwards, and would supposedly be adapted for any new movies. One of the most commonly cited is Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire. -LtNOWIS 04:20, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
            • There is no Star Wars VII, and according to George Lucas, there never will be. Star Wars was originally planned to be a trilogy of trilogies, but he abandoned the idea after finishing the Indiana Jones trilogy (there is, however, a fourth Indiana Jones movie on the way). B.Wind 01:34, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
              • Yes I understand that. But weren't there books first? I can remember reading a comic book version of them (summarised, short and sweet - one comic book for each of the 9 episodes) as a kid. Or are you saying that they only wrote 6 books? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
                • The first movie, called simply Star Wars, was issued in 1977. At the time, George Lucas said he planned to make a trilogy of trilogies, with Star Wars being the first film of the second trilogy. He intended to issue a new film in the series every three years, but waited 16 years after Return of the Jedi to make The Phantom Menace. All the books and ancillary products came later. Any books set in a time period after Return of the Jedi are the works of others, and not necessarily part of George Lucas' conception. -- Dalbury(Talk) 11:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • DELETE and REDIRECT to AvP. That is the third Predator film, and some have called it Predator 3 or Alien 0. It's also chronologically the third Predator film.

[edit] Economic fascism

The article was deleted before, only to be ressurected again. It is unencyclopedic and has no hope of ever being anything other than a stub or a description of the views held by some libertarians on the issue of state intervention in the economy. The definition of fascism is highly disputed; the existence of a separate economic system called "economic fascism" is not supported by the majority of economists and historians. The idea that state intervention in the economy is inherently fascist would be seen as utterly absurd by all but a handful of authors, all of which are economic libertarians. The term "economic fascism" does not appear in any encyclopedic sources. At this point, the article does not contain any information which is not already present in fascism, and I believe that that article is the appropriate location for discussing fascist economic policies and the various interpretations given to them. A separate article for one particular such interpretation is not only unneeded, but positively harmful given the controversy and POV surrounding anything related to fascism. Delete. Mihnea Tudoreanu 07:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment to voters from author of article: The statement above: "The idea that state intervention in the economy is inherently fascist would be seen as utter absurd..." is misleading. The article does not say that. It clearly says it's an overall economic system including a "planned economy" and "heavy coordination of the means of production, among other characteristics. Mere economic intervention is not "inherently fascist." The article says no such thing nor gives any such impression (This message left 5 days after voting started, unfortunately). RJII 15:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment to Administrators I'd just like to note that Minhea Tudoreanu is going around spreading false information in campaigning to get this article deleted. He's writing to various editors' talk pages the following: "There is an ongoing attempt to define state intervention in the economy as inherently fascist through the creation of an article entitled economic fascism..." This is false. The article clearly says that economic fascism includes a "planned economy" and says the means of production are "heavily coordinated"; it obviously does not say that economic fascism is mere intervention. Of course people are going to vote to delete if that's what it said. *I* would vote to delete in that case or edit the article to say otherwise. Tudoreanu placed this message in the Talk pages of users such as user:El_C, user:Sesel, and user:Ruy Lopez who then voted to delete. Administrators please take note of this in your analysis. RJII 05:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    • As one of the users receiving a notice from Minhea Tudoreanu, I reject the claim that he has sent me false information. Even if he were sending false information, the point would be moot. I respect Minhea Tudoreanu; but I do not vote based on how he tells me to vote. I am certain that the same is the case with the other editors receiving the notices... Since RJII has metioned Minhea, I will use this thread as a chance to offer him a belated thanks for the message. I would not have seen this AfD had it not been for his note on my talk page. I hope that he continues to send me similar notices so that I can better stay informed of important discussions on Wikipedia. 172 09:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
      • So that explains your confusion over what the article is about. In order to give this some semblance of being fair. I'm going to have to leave a few notices on the Talk pages of others. But, unlike Tudoreanu, I'm not going to misrepresent the article. I'm just going to let them know a vote is going on. This won't fix the damage that has been done by Tudoreanu, because obviously he has misled several, but it may help alleviate the injustice. Administrators: Please give me time to do this. RJII 15:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

The text of G4 reads "[b]efore deleting again, the admin should ensure that the material is substantially identical, and not merely a new article on the same subject." I checked the content and it's not substantially the same as far as I can tell, therefore we need this AfD for it. gren グレン 08:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Fascism given that economic matters are widely canvassed there. Capitalistroadster 08:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Economic fascism is a notable term that deserves its own article. It has over 11,000 hits on a Google search. Scholoarly papers are written about it, use the term, etc. Minhea Tudoreany, who put this article up for deleteion says "the idea that state intervention in the economy is inherently fascist would be seen as utterly absurd by all but a handful of authors, all of which are economic libertarians." Well, the article says nothing of the sort so I don't know where he's getting that. RJII 14:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC) (author of the article)
    • The number of google hits can tell you whether a term is widely used, but it cannot tell you whether it deserves its own article. Given the way "economic fascism" tends to be used, I would classify it as a pejorative term and mention it in the list of political epithets. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm sorry but that makes me laugh. That's totally bizarre. It's not a "pejorative" term ..it's just a term. RJII 00:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep with a lazy 11,300 google hits. A well known term in common use. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Google hits tell us nothing about encyclopedic standards. For example, "cultural fascism" gets an even greater number of hits 14,600. [24] But the kinds of entries that come up are revealing. Many are Google hits are related to the Lyndon LaRouche tract "How 'The Sexual Congress of Cultural Fascism' Ruined the USA and and Gave Us 'Beast-Man' Cheney"-- not encyclopedic. The People's Daily usage of the term "cultural fascism" in "Lu's remarks reveal Taiwan cultural fascism" is only slightly less bizzare. 172 03:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Fascism, agree with Capitalistroadster. An article on economics under fascism, if there were enough material to justify a separate article, should be entitled economics under fascism or something similar. "Economic fascism" implies fascism through economics. Almost all those google hits for "economic fascism" are from economic libertarians. TomTheHand 17:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • What does the fact that "Almost all those google hits for "economic fascism" are from economic libertarians" have to do with anything? The fact is, the term is used and is notable. Anyway, most economists today are economic libertarians so it's no surprise the most usages of the term are by laissez-faire advocates. It's POV of you to want to get rid of the article because laissez-faire advocates use the term. Totally unjustified. RJII 18:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • "Most economists today are economic libertarians"? That is a bold - and, I would argue, ridiculous - claim. But that's not the point here. If only (or mostly) laissez-faire advocates use a term, then that term should clearly be presented as such. I would not object to an article entitled Libertarian perspectives on fascism that included all the information currently found in Economic fascism. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I should have been more clear. When I did the Google search, I primarily saw paranoid pages talking about how the United States was practicing economic fascism, or was on the way down the path to doing so, which is unrelated to what you've written about. I think what you've written is good, and non-POV, but I think it's redundant and should be merged with and redirected to fascism. TomTheHand 19:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
        • That still doesn't negate the fact that the concept and term is noteable in and of itself. If someone wants to know what economic fascism is, after coming across it, they should be able to go direct to an article on it instead of having to wade through the desultory generalized fascism article. RJII 20:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
          • The problem is that no one agrees what economic fascism is. All the definitions you've found are hopelessly vague. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
            • Everybody agrees that economic fascism is the economic system practiced in fascist nations. Sure, there is some variations between definitions but they're in general agreement. RJII 00:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Fascism: Fascism, we should remember, was Mussolini's economic philosophy before it was his political philosophy, and the article on fascism talks about the economics of the government. There is no need for the doublet. Geogre 17:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment I completely disagree with a redirect. As I am sure a number of other students have done, I twice was set essay topics in relation to "Economic Fascism", neither of which had anything to do with "Fascism". Some people can link the two: most don't. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 18:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I've also seen professors use the term "economic fascism" in syllabuses, study notes, etc. RJII 18:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Yes, let us base an article on hearsay. [/sarcasm] On a more serious note, it has been my experience that whenever the term "economic fascism" is used neutrally in academic circles, it tends to be used as a synonym for "the economic policies of fascist governments". It is not considered a separate economic system. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
          • Yes, "economic fascism" is "a synonym for the economic policies of fascist governments." And that's what the article says it is. You're complaint is very strange indeed. RJII 00:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • There is a need because there is a notable term to label the economic of fascism: "economic fascism." RJII 18:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree, the entry should stay and it shouldn't be redirected. Economic Fascism is not the same as Fascism and deserves its own entry. This is something i've come across in my own college studies.Ognit Ice 18:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Look up capitalism, buddy. Merriam-Webster (unabridged) defines it as: "an economic system characterized by private or corporation ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision rather than by state control, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly in a free market." If these things are determined by "state control" then it's not capitalism. Get a clue. RJII 21:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Try and directly refute what I just said..I reckon that anybody with a good knowledge of working capitalism (not just capitalism "the ideal" or free market "the ideal") would agree that there is no government on earth that has not greatly intervened in it's economy, national bank, infrastructure whether though subsidies, legislation or creation of markets. And by the way.. this is for an encyclopedia article not a thin dictionary entry -max rspct 21:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
The definition said "mainly in a free market." It doesn't have to be an absolutely free market to be capitalism. But it has to be overwhelmingly free. If intervention is very significant but some private decision still exists, then it's not capitalism, but a mixed economy. If it's a mainly interventionist economy, then it's a planned economy. Get your terms straight man. What you are calling capitalism is not capitalism. RJII 21:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Just listen to yourself! -max rspct
Even the US Department of State says the U.S. is a mixed economy. [26])
The distinction between capitalism and mixed economies is not in dispute here. What is in dispute is your claim that any mixed economy with sufficient state intervention is necessarily fascist. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Where the hell are you getting this? The article does not claim a mixed economy is a fascist economy. A mixed economy is not a fascist economy. Economic fascism is an overwhelmingy planned economy ..not a mixed economy. I don't understand where you're coming from. RJII 00:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A large number of economists and political theorists use this concept, and there is considerable literature on the subject. I would have made it fascism (economic), but I guess that's a matter of taste. Hogeye 22:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

    • By the way, the economic system of Mussolini has a name: corporativism. That of Hitler also has a name: Führerprinzip. This article would be redundant with those as well. Gazpacho 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I disagree with the agenda of people who talk about "economic fascism," but I can't deny that it's an actual concept which is fairly widely used. The article should be kept and improved with some NPOV. Factitious 04:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Essentially, my argument is that economic fascism is not so much a concept as a smear term. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I think you're very confused. "Fascism" is a smear term, yet there's an article on fascism. "Economic fascism" has the term "fascism" so you're probably associating it with a smear term, but it's not. It's just the name of the economic system that has existed in fascist nations. RJII 00:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Fascism after POV cleanup as a section titled "Economic aspects of Fascism". If article kept as a separate entity, I would suggest Move to a title such as this: "Corporatism", "Fascist economies", "Fascist economics", or ""Economic aspects of Fascism". "Economic fascism" seems (1) poorly formed -- we don't say "Economic captitalism/socialism", we say "Capitalist/socialist economics", and (2) sounds inflammatory. Herostratus 07:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
    • "After POV cleanup"? Where is the POV? And move it from economic fascism to "fascist economics"? "Economic fascism has like 11,000 Google hits, and "fascist economics" has just over 200. I'm afraid to ask what kind of reasoning is behind that. And the reason we don't say "economic capitalism" or "economic socialism" is because capitalism and socialism are themselves economic systems. "Fascism" is not itself an economic system; it's more encompassing than that. The economic system that's found in fascist political systems is called "economic fascism." And, "economic fascism" sounds inflammatory? Pure nonsense. RJII 07:55, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      • The economic system that's found in fascist political systems is not unique enough to be called anything. "Economic fascism" makes as much sense as "Economic monarchism", "Economic republicanism" or "Economic parliamentarianism". And your POV lies in the way you define economic fascism, which is at best a hopelessly vague term and at worst nothing more than propaganda by association (associating certain economic policies with fascism in order to make them look bad). -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment The reason for deletion is the existence of a separate economic system called "economic fascism" is not supported by the majority of economists and historians. So what! I agree that the theory is crazy but that dosn't mean it can't have an article describing it!! Let the article say that economist think it is shit. jucifer 00:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Exactly. What is there to be afraid of? I curious about the claim that it's not NPOV though. I tried my best to write an NPOV article. I even mentioned an author that promotes economic fascism. RJII 01:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete In and of itself the term "economic fascism" is a non-encyclopedic neologism. Yes, the term gets 11,000 hits on Google; but that tells us nothing more than the fact that the term gets 11,000 hits on Google. A Google search is a terrible indicator of anything, especially encyclopedic standards. Just about any non-encyclopedic neologism will get literally thousands of Google hits. For example, compare the number of hits generated by "economic fascism" to the number of hits generated by "American fascism," another unencyclopedic ahistorical term used in polemics. "American fascism" gets 78,000 hits. [28] (BTW, if a misguided user were ever to start an article on "American fascism," I suspect that some of the "keep" voters here would join me in supporting an AfD on such an entry.) Nevertheless, the term "economic fascism" has a place in a certain context on Wikipedia; a self-standing entry, though, is defiantly not the proper context. Most references to the term online are inspired by a fairly well-known essay among libertarian circles (and even some academic circles that have done some interesting comparative work on the notion of a 'welfare-warfare state' and its relation to the political economies of the European fascist regimes-- though academics never use the term themselves) by Thomas DiLorenzo entitled "Economic Fascism." [29] RJII's work would thus have a proper place in the Thomas J. DiLorenzo article under a section summarizing his essay "Economic Fascism." Since the term "economic fascism" is so strongly associated with DiLorenzo, the Wikipedia page "economic fascism" can even be redirected to the DiLorenzo article. 172 00:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree for you in the most part and although I haven't voted here my reason for not voting delete is that in an encyclopedia where we have an article for Slanted and Enchanted (non-notable album) why not have an article for economic fascism which seems to be more notable than many of our album pages. I suppose the issue with this is that it skews all of the work on economics to a POV rant when every little epithet gets an article. So, because of those views I can only be neutral. Your reasoning was pretty sound, but, when our notability standards are so low is there reason not to create this page? I really don't know the answer. gren グレン 01:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
You have a point in that there have been occasions with little political epithets creeping into Wikipedia and getting their own article. But I consider that trend on Wikipedia quite unfortunate and worrisome overall. If we can't spot all the problems, the best we can do is not allow the ones that do get listed on AfD to get by, and draw a line in the sand for encyclopedic standards whenever we get the chance. IMO this entry is somewhat more problematic than most epithets that get listed on AfD for a reason that is quite subtle. The term "Economic Fascism: is most notable as an essay by DiLorenzo. As an essay, "Economic Fascism" is a proper noun and thus capitalized and put in quotations. However, the article subject to the AfD at the moment is an article on "economic fascism" in the lowercase, which gives the impression that the term is not primarily notable as an essay (referred to in uppercases) but rather as an accepted historical term not in need of attribution. In this sense, giving the impression that a neologism is an established historical term is subtle, but can have a very powerful propaganda effect. IMO, AfD voters should be especially sensitive when it comes to spotting neologisms, as they may not be too noticeable at first glance, despite being as egregious a violation of NPOV as any. 172 02:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
A "propaganda effect"? Some of you guys think a Wikipedia article can change the world. Lighten up on the paranoia and the censorship. RJII 02:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
The concerns about propaganda on Wikipedia have nothing to do with changing the world but rather applying Wikipeida's own content policies, particularly NPOV. The users who upload the propaganda are the ones seemingly interested in changing the world. 172 02:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Gren, it's not that it's a non-notable term, it's that it's not really a term at all. Economic fascism is more of a smear than a scholarly term with a defined and accepted meaning. The article as it exists is terribly vague. Nearly all sources that talk about economics under fascist governments talk about Corporatism, which was the principal economic theory developed by Italian fascists and proto-fascists. This article should redirect straight to Corporatism. —thames 14:44, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. A POV fork that attempts to smear any non-laissez faire economy with the snarl-word fascist. Firebug 02:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Where do you see the article smearing anything other than laissez-faire economies? The article pretty clearly indicates that a fascist economic system is "heavily coordinated by government" --a planned economy --not merely an economy that isn't completely laissez-faire. RJII 02:26, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This was deleted before, I think it should be deleted again. I think this is the best option, however, if a strong consensus was decided to redirect it to Fascism instead of deleting it, I would probably go along with that. The reasons for this are not only articulated above, but were articulated the last time this was deleted. One among the many no-brainer reasons mentioned above already - try finding an entry for this in the Encyclopedia Britannica, Encarta or any other encyclopedia. This clearly does not belong here, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to store political tracts of fringe groups. Ruy Lopez 02:28, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • How many articles on Wikipedia have titles that are not in Encyclopedia Britannica? Wikipedia is a little more liberal than that. If it can have an article called gay bathhouse it can certainly have one a little more intellectually important than that on economic fascism. RJII 02:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
      • No one is saying that the notion of "economic fascism" is intellectually unimportant. The term is neologism, and as such has its place in the Thomas DiLorenzo article, where his essay can be summarized, but not as a self-standing entry. 172 02:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
        • DiLorenzo is not the only person that has talked about economic fascism. What are you talking about it's a "neologism"? It's not a neologism. What if the article was called "fascist economics"?; would that be a neologism? You'd probably say "no" unless DiLorenzo titled his article "fascist economics," in which case you would be claiming it was a neologism. There has to be some way to refer to the economics practiced in fascist nations. "Economic fascism" seems to be the most common way of referring to it. It's not a "neologism." RJII 02:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
          • DiLorenzo is the most notable. He is not the only one using the term in the sense that other libertarians have been influenced by his work and now use the term themselves. The term is a neologism in the sense that it is use of a new term based on historically established terms to describe the patters that DiLorenzo is attempting to sketch. There's nothing wrong with that. A neologism can be innovative while unencyclopedic at the same time. As for "fascist economics," the term "economics" refers to the study of the economy. For now there is no school of thought among economists describing itself as "fascist." For now the term "fascist economics" only seems to have meaning in the lexicon of the Lyndon LaRouche cult, which published an article entitled "Arnie Rolls Out the Coming Fascist Economics in California." [30] 172 03:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
            • It's still very strange what you're saying. As far back as the 1930's and 40's people were describing the economic system that was particular to fascist nations as being distinct from others systems. Whether you want to call an article "economic fascism," "fascist economics," "economic systems in fascist economies," it's all the same thing. "Economic fascism" is just the most common language used to refer to summation of the economic characteristics found in fascist nations. RJII 03:42, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
              • If we clearly define our terms what I am saying will not be difficult to grasp. In the interwar era, "Fascism" referred to an ideological and political movement with often-changing and often-nebulous goals and tenants, particularly on economic policy. Today among historians, the argument that you just asserted-- that there was an economic system particular to fascist nations and distinct from other systems-- is subject to a considerable amount of debate. Circumscribing the topic of fascist economic thought is quite difficult because, depending on when at where you look, a different picture may emerge. Even more unclear to historians is the question concerning whether or not we can even speak of a 'fascist economic system,' a topic subject to a considerable amount of debate. DiLorenzo says 'yes' from a libertarian perspective, and popularized the term "economic fascism." The problem for Wikipedia is that turning his neologism "economic fascism" into an article implicitly means that Wikipedia is accepting his POV on a controversial debate, which, of course, goes against the Wikipedia principle of NPOV. BTW, there are many articles where you can work on the issues that interest you here. The libertarian perspective on "economic fascism" can be described in articles related to DiLorenzo. Details on the economies of Germany and Italy in the 1930 and 1940s can be found in the specialized entries dealing with the economic histories of those two countries. 172 04:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                • DiLorenzo is not the only person who talks about economic practices peculiar to fascist nations. Sure, there may be other articles where one can talk about it, but I prefer a single article devoted to the issue. You don't. Hopefully, there is no consensus to delete the article so it can be further edited and improved. RJII 05:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                    • We already have an article discussing economic practices peculiar to fascist nations: corporatism. If we do not reach a consensus to delete economic fascism (and it looks like we won't), I would strongly suggest redirecting to corporatism. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 08:32, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                      • Corporatism in an important part of economic fascism, but it's not the whole story. RJII 17:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                  • Indeed he is not. But DiLorenzo is the main writer associated with the neologism "economic fascism" in the discourse on the question of economic practices particular to fascist nations from the perspective adoped in the article now up for AfD. Given the NPOV policy, the place for a discussion of the question of "economic practices particular to fascist nations" cannot be under a title that endorses DiLorenzo's POV, which is far from being universally accepted, but rather in more general entry on fascism or economic history. 172 07:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                    • What are you talking about? The article doesn't even refer to DiLorenzo. All the quotes and definitions are from others. DiLorenzo is an external link. You can't consider that link as part of the article! That's ludicrous. What is the POV expressed in the article?? There is none. DiLorenzo's POV is not expressed in the article. RJII 17:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
                      • If the article does not refer to DiLorenzo, it is not citing its sources-- all the more reason to delete it. The idea was his; so you should start working on better attributing your writing on Wikipedia. 172 06:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
                        • The article is sourced. DiLorenzo is not the only person that uses that term. This shows that you have not even read the article that you're voting against. Talk about irresponsibility. RJII 07:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
                          • You're spinning me around in circles here. I already pointed out that I had never made the claim that DiLorenzo is the only person that uses the term. The term has to be attributed to him because he was the one who popularized it, leading others in libertarian circles to start using it themselves. 172 13:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is nothing here that can't be covered (in more appropriate, scholarly-accepted NPOV terms) in the dozen or so articles listed in a previous user's vote. —Sesel 05:14, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Exactly, scholarly-accepted NPOV terms is what should be sought (is this taught as a term, as such, in academia?). This article and/in relation to the title is both non-npov (on both counts, see Firebug for the latter) and original research (again, on both counts). El_C 13:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Why is it that those who are are saying that the article is not NPOV can't point to what is POV about it? And, El_C, you just claimed it original research. Where is the original research? These claims are bogus. RJII 15:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete No one questions that Fascism had (or has) a strong economic component, and that certainly ought to be addressed in the Fascism article. The article in question, however, makes "economic fascism" sound mor elike an epithet free-market purists sling at people they oppose. I don't think that warrants its own article. The article on the New Deal can discuss debates among Americans at the time as to whether Roosevelt was saving capitalism, or inventing his own form of communism or fascism, drawing on contemporary sources. Beyond that, the Fascism and Corporatism articles should provide full discussions of their economic dimensions. Slrubenstein | Talk 17:36, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • You're having the same confusion as a few others here. You're reading some external links and taking them as being part of the content of the article. The article does not mention the New Deal and does not even so much as speculate that the U.S. has experienced economic fascism. The article is patently NPOV. RJII 18:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Then it has no reason to exist. Any material it addresses should be in the fascism article. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • No it shouldn't. The economics of fascism deserves its own article. Someone who wants to see information on the fascist economies should be able to go directly to an article. RJII 18:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • No. First, the Fascism article should have a section on "Fascist economics" (not "economic fascism). Second, if or when the article becomes too long, that section should be made into its own article, with a summary and link in the Fascism article. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    • So you have a problem with it being called "economic fascism" but not "fascist economics"? That's ludicrous! What the hell difference make what it's called? "Economic fascism" is just common terminology to refer to it. Someone above said "the term "fascist economics" only seems to have meaning in the lexicon of the Lyndon LaRouche cult." So, he's probably going to complain about that terminology. Get over it people. RJII 18:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
      • What "the hell difference [does it] make what it's called?" The difference has to do with what is the noun and what is the adjective. In English, meaning is produced largely through different parts of speech; the rules governing these parts of speech involve English sentence structure. Slrubenstein | Talk 19:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
        • And the noun-adjective form behind "economic fascism" goes with the convention. There is economic liberalism, economic individualism, and economic fascism. RJII 19:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
          • No, not with Wikipedia's conventions-- maybe with certain libertarian authors who propose such a taxonomy, but not Wikipedia's, given the WP:NPOV policy. 172 06:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
            • So if the term is used by laissez-faire types you want to censor it. Talk about POV! RJII 07:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
              • No, I am not advocating censorship but rather proper attribution of sources. In this sense we are respecting the rights of Thomas J. DiLorenzo's to his intellectual property (such as his essay "Economic Fascism"). The "laissez-faire types" like defending private property, right? Now, once the source of the ideas underlying the contents of the article on VfD is duly noted, the content does not have to be "censored" but rather moved to an entry related to DiLorenzo. There are places where his work can be summarized on Wikipedia. However, pretending that a neologism, which he popularized in his essays, is encyclopedic, somehow transcending the need to attribute his ideas, is not the proper way to go about detailing libertarian thought on Wikipedia. 172 08:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
                  • Intellectual property? No one owns the term "economic fascism." The term is is pretty widespread use. And, it's not a "neologism." DiLorenzo was using the term back in the early 90's. This is almost 2006, man. Economic fascism is the economic system that typically exists in fascist regimes. RJII 15:31, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
                    • According to DiLorenzo, "economic fascism" was the system that you are describing in the article. He popularized the term, and indeed others in libertarian circles have been influenced by his work. Still, his work has not come anywhere close to reaching universal acceptance in academic literature on the economic history of the 1930s and 1940s. Actually, I'm not even aware that it has had any influence at all outside libertarian circles. Others find it much more difficult to speak of such a clear-cut relation. Thus, the term "fascist" in the strict NPOV sense refers to ideology/political affiliation and regime (under fascist rule). When using the term in a less restrictive sense, in this case using it to refer to an 'economic system,' there must be a reference to the research making the connection. 172 01:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
                      • What are you talking about? DiLorenzo might have "popularized the term" but he didn't invent economic fascism and didn't invent the so-called "term." Get it through your head, man --the article is not about DiLorenzo or nor has anything to do with his personal philosophy. It has to do with the economic system present in fascist nations. Whether DiLorenzo popularized the term "economic fascism" to label this system is not materially important, as the term is a pretty common term today. Hence, it's the proper term to title on article on the economic system present in fascist nations. If this article is deleted, I'll create another article with same information but with a different title (unfortunately, and ironically, with a less notable title). The title is not as important as the content. You have a problem with the title of the article because DiLorenzo, who you apparently have a beef with, uses that term. Your complaints are absolutely insane! RJII 03:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
                        • On AfD the title is not less important than the content. The title, actually, is everything. Please review Slrubenstein's comments on the significance of the meanings of words and language. 172 08:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete and Redirect to Corporatism. If you examine the References listed, and do a Google Scholar search on "economic fascism", nearly every source that comes up is explicitly talking about the corporatist form of organization. This economic theory was expounded by the Italian Fascists as an economic third way between capitalism and socialism, was implemented in Italy, and implemented in part (in parallel to a more general war economy) in Germany. "Economic fascism" itself is not a distinct term or concept, and is not used by reputable scholars to specifically denote a unique form of economic organization. Redirecting it into the Fascism article is not as accurate as redirecting it to Corporatism, since corporatism was the economic theory implemented by European fascist states. —thames 14:37, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Corporativism is just one aspect, albeit a major aspect, of economic fascism. Other elements of the system that are often said to be included are protectionism, mercantilism, and wage and price controls. Economic fascism is a set of characteristics --pointing to just one aspect, such as corporativism, just doesn't cover it. The article covers a few aspects of economic fascism, including corporativism, and it's going to be expanded to cover more than it does now. RJII 16:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not clear what your point is or even whether you meant to address me rather than RJ, who can speak for himself. As for your example, I think it is worthy of note that the UK's Monopolies and Mergers Commission has its own article and isn't a merge/redirect into Trust-busting. Likewise, there's no good reason to make economic fascism a merger/redirect into fascism or corporatism or anything more generic than itself. --Christofurio 21:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Richard Ebeling uses it who is a professor of economics at Hillsdale. Jutta Schmitt uses it, who is a political science academic at University de Los Andes in Venezuela. And, so on. In other words, it has academic credibility. Morever, academic credibility is not even a prerequistite for an article. Does dogging have academic credibility? Surely there are numerous academics using that term. RJII 19:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep a "handful of authors" and "doesn't appear in any encyclopedic sources" standard would disqualify hundreds of wikipedia articles. We have articles about single books or movies with only one author, and that also don't appear in any encyclopedias. The only remaining objections appears to be that the word fascism may attract controversy and that it may be already covered in the fascism article. Why is it covered in the latter if it is unencyclopedic? Why wasn't the former raised as an objection to the fascism article itself? --Silverback 19:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete: Zordrac, you need to take a look at it, as no one is saying "no verification." Instead, the chief grounds for deletion is that it's advertising. Further, it looks like a copy and paste of a promotional brochure. Further, even if it weren't advertising, we would have the question of whether this is notable among websites. The online casinos are geniuses at getting links. It's what they do. In fact, some have had the habit of automatically downloading client software on people who click their banner ads. This is an ad. Geogre 17:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
So rewrite it. Simple. I have argued this point elsewhere. An article should be kept/deleted based on its topic, not on its contents as they stand right now. There are lots of reasons for this, which I have stated elsewhere. Fundamentally, look at M:Eventualism for the rationale. IMO your argument suggests a keep vote. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:50, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't mean to get into a debate on wikiphilosophy here, but am compelled to justify my nomination in light of your comment: I think I would be less inclined to vote Delete if there was some content worth salvaging. If the article could be pared down to the bare information, sans all the advertising cruft, then by all means, let's do it. But I personally see no notable information in the current version worth keeping, and have insufficient knowledge of, or interest in the subject matter to perform a rewrite. So if choosing between leaving it for possibly weeks (months?) before a knowledgeable editor performs a rewrite, or deleting it now and letting a knowledgeable editor recreate it in weeks/months, I find I much prefer the latter. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 04:32, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I had a comment all written up that started almost identically, but I aborted it, since I was worried this wasn't the place for it. Following your lead, though, I'll point out that I think if an article like this is kept, it is unlikely to ever be rewritten. I doubt many people are willing to totally rewrite an article with over 10kB of text, and this article definitely needs to be totally rewritten. However, in the spirit of, well, putting my money where my mouth is, don't be surprised if I take an axe to the text if it's kept. ;) —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-03 04:58:49Z
Yeah, I've done that a couple of times. I figure that if I believe enough that the topic is worth keeping then I should be willing to fix it. The first article I nominated for deletion got fixed up by another editor and kept, and I took that lesson to heart. -- Dalbury(Talk) 05:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
By the way, in answer to the way above: It is advertising, and, to restate what was ignored, if it were not advertising (i.e. if all the rewriting took place), it would still be a website, and Wikipedia is not a web guide. The usual standards of assessing web pages include number of mentions on Google, but porn and gambling sites will screw that right up, as they aggressively (and illegally, betimes) elevate their hit counts. Therefore delete from all of the above (current status = ad; perfect status = web guide; web value unverifiable due to the business model). Sheesh. Geogre 14:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Parametric Insurance

Advertising spam for a non-notable insurance company. Delete. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 08:02:55Z

It actually appears to be a type of insurance rather than any particular insurance company. Albeit, a very rare type of insurance, but a valid one. Peyna 08:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Oy. Sorry about that; I got to the link from contributions from a user who has been spamming Wikipedia with NIASOM-related info (note the reference to NIA in the article), and obviously I didn't read the article carefully enough. I'm trying to come up with another reason for deletion here, and not really finding one. It does appear to be a valid concept with a specific definition, but I'm not informed enough to say whether or not the article has any merit. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 08:21:11Z
Yeah, I noticed the user's other contributions, so I don't blame you for your suspicions. Peyna 08:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Upon searching, it appears to be an actual term used by credible sources. -- Kjkolb 10:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, Wikipedia does not deserve to have an emerging concept like "Parametric Insurance". It deserves at more serious place. Those who say National Insurance Academy of India and its allied institutions are spam, have wikipedia given right to as well not know "Parametric Insurance". Quick deletion recommended. Sum
    • While a concept might be notable and worth of inclusion in an encyclopedia, a company that implements it is not necessarily. Think of it like any other invention. The invention of a product (say, Rollerblades) is notable; and the product is notable. But the fact that company XYZ makes and sells them is not in itself worthy of being in an encyclopedia. Peyna 18:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • From the article and what I've found on Google, it looks like this isn't a company. Your earlier comment seems to say the same thing. -- Kjkolb 19:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Sorry if that comment seemed out context; I was replying to "Sum"'s comment regarding the National Insurance Academy of India articles which have been repeatedly deleted as spam and pointing out that while those particular companies using this method of insurance may not be worthy of an article; the actual method itself probably is. Peyna 19:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
            • Ah, I was extremely confused. :-) -- Kjkolb 18:41, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as real term used by a number of different people. Type of insurance. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Instead of being databased i find such a noble venture like Wikipedia is becoming captive to the whims and subjective angularities of individuals. I find the authors of National Insurance Academy of india have provided http://www.niapune.com as the official website, which could have been browsed before condemning a valid Government of India organization with all facts and metalinks available so transparently. I am ashamed to have joined the bandwagon at some stage before verifying the high credentials of this worl reputed research outfit of Government of India. Clean Wikipedia of these psycho-punchers rather than valid notable concepts beyond casual understanding by non-serious readers out to kill ideas the way it often happens. User:Sum

Obviously my nomination of this article was flawed, as I have already admitted. Beyond that, I can't make sense of what you're saying. The article will mostly likely be kept at this point, though if it is, I will substantially rewrite it. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-04 05:28:52Z

  • Weak Delete - a search on google for coincidences of Bitties and the related "Love Handles" gives very little, and all or most of the references there don't refer to fat on the back. The entire article after the first paragraph is at best original research, and the statistics and formulae are pretty clearly jokes.

Advertising spam for a non-notable piece of software. Delete. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 09:07:54Z

Never said it wasn't real. I see no value in the article. Wikipedia is NOT a link directory, which is exactly how the author is treating it. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-02 21:21:14Z
  • Keep - pre Zordrac -Meegs 19:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete: Wikipedia is not Freshmeat.org. This particular application does not appear to be specifically successful to the point where it is widely discussed. Inasmuch as it is an application confined to helping the San Fransisco Bay Area mass transit riders only, it is doubtful that the product can achieve more than local use. Furthermore, the article is advertising, complete with a "download here" link. I nowiki'd it while on VfD (which is what one is supposed to do), and there were no less than nine page links. It is the duty of Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia, not undigested information dump nor catalog of products. Geogre 19:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Geogre. -- Kjkolb 19:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Searching, I find nothing non-trivial published about this product that isn't sourced from its creator. Whilst there are reprinted press releases and self-submitted listings in software catalogues, there are no independent magazine reviews, no independently written "BARTWidget/BARTSmart FAQs", no independently written "guide to BARTWidget/BARTSmart", no independent press coverage, no books — nothing at all. This product does not satisfy the primary WP:CORP criterion for products and services. And, having apparently only existed for a month or so, it certainly hasn't been around long enough to have become genericized, and so does not satisfy the second criterion, either. Delete.

[edit] Durmus Kumdereli

Victim of beheading by Iraqi insurgents. Sadly, too many people have died in Iraq to make them intrinsically notable without significant media coverage, which I don't see evidence of. Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Last Malthusian 09:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment This was originally a German language article (see old discussion) and probably headed for the German Wikipedia, until I translated it. It failed to attract any more votes and was closed with a 'no consensus' - to be exact, one delete (mine), and one rather weak keep. Sjakkale (who closed it) said he wouldn't have any problem with a renomination to get further votes. Given that the original article was in German, I can't see the original author expanding it. --Last Malthusian 09:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Dlyons493 13:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete: At this point, the victims are too numerous to be sole examples or trail blazers. Wikipedia is not a memorial site. We all mourn the loss and abhor the injustice of both the invasion and the terrorism, I think, but hostages are only worthy targets of encyclopedia articles if their lives, and not their deaths are notable. Otherwise, their accounts can be mentioned in a "Victims of the Iraqi insurgency" or "Victims of jihadis" article. Geogre 19:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above Avalon 22:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • The article said that he was shot and not beheaded (and it was an interesting read), but that's not the point. Wikipedia is not a memorial, and even having a section for non-Iraqis who were killed in Iraq would be asking for trouble. We don't have a section (or article) listing all of our military personnel who died over there (or Afghanistan); nor should we. Delete. If it were possible, I would recommend that someone copy the article and deliver it to an appropriate memorial Web site. 147.70.242.21 22:09, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

There must be no more than 600-1000 people in the world with an IQ of 170 or above, and this is one of them? Speed delete! IQ 140-150 and one could have gotten away with it, but 172, no way and you better wrap it in xmas paper or something. I see no xmas paper, in fact I see nothing of notablity at all!

Was listed as speedy, but I think being the chairman for EMBnet (not a website, but on organization for bioinformatics) should be notable enough for an entry. Would like a second opinion. Keep. - Mgm|(talk) 12:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian CMS Products

Spam spam spam spam! spam spam spam spam! Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! What, you want a proper reason? Oh alright then. Article is unencyclopaedic in tone, an advert for a company which gives no indication of notability, could be confused for a list of CMS products available in Canada and - oh bugger it, it's just garden-variety spam, burn it. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 12:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as advertising. Though it would be nice to have an objective list of Canadian vendors. -- Tony Byrne, CMS Watch.
  • Sorry! This was my first attempt at putting an article in Wikipedia. I did not intend for it to read like an advert. My thinking was that I had followed links on various CMS systems within wiki after doing a search for "Content Management Systems" I then clicked "List of content management systems" (including commercial ones - so I thought this was OK) and then noted near the bottom the rather oddly specific link to "Canadian CMS Products" which went nowhere. As I just happened to have used this company's products (I hasten to add I do NOT work for them, but have been a repeat customer) I thought I'd knock up a 1st draft with the hope that someone else would know about alternate Canadian CMS products and add those in ad-hoc. Sorry if I caused any offence, I will naturally understand your decision to remove the article. Regards, M-ray 13:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

This article essentially lists the battles from Star Wars Battlefront II. However, they seem to be isolated conflicts. I don't have the game, but the name "Imperial War" doesn't seem to be used anywhere. Sikon 13:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - its not just talking about the game, its talking about Star Wars generally. Consider the influence of Star Wars on popular culture, this is highly relevant.

Possibly an enormous scandal if somebody is able to blow the whistle or find out more info.. Media seems to have completely forgotton about it all... and then Dr David Kelly.. -max rspct 13:50, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

    • Comment - forgive me, but a Google search for dead Marconi scientists is a spectacularly poor indicator of verifiability of this news story. I understand that you made that search based on the article title, which could also be better in my opinion (though I have not yet got an alternative to recommend). Please see my search below which returns pages featuring the names of two of the dead, namely Vimal Dajibhai and Ashaad Sharif. --bodnotbod 15:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
    • 'Comment - This book, Open Verdict would appear to be about the deaths. --bodnotbod 16:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - I notice that the only other keep is from Max who is almost sole contributor to the article and a relatively new user. I'm a Wikipedian of long standing and I'm throwing my weight well and truly behind him. I can confirm that this affair made a recent appearance on the BBC programme Scandal. It is absolutely a ripe subject for any number of mad conspiracy theories, however that does not mean it should not have an article, it just means that we have to be careful about how we explain the various theories to our readers and do our best to keep it free of, scuse my language, crap. This Google search of two of the dead returns 300+ hits. --bodnotbod 15:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
    • comment - as mentioned above, I happen to have the relevant segment of the BBC programme Scandal on VHS tape. Here's a few notes:
      • As mentioned above source details are: Scandal - BBC2 November 30, 9.50pm.
      • Segment is titled Death of a scientist (singular strangely, since there are many deaths).
      • Details of Vimal Dajibhai's death are given.
      • A tabloid headline is shown BOFFIN DIES IN MARCONI JINX RIDDLE however tabloid masthead is not shown, so can't identify paper.
      • Death of David Sands described (car crash) - worked for Easams, a part of the Marconi group.
      • Moira Stewart is shown on a television, she's hosting BBC News saying "The Labour MP Doug Hoyle has asked the givernment to hold an urgent inquiry after the death of another scientist involved in defense work"
      • MP David Hoyle is shown voicing his concerns.
      • Archive television news footage outlining Trevor Knight's death "he's the 5th Marconi scientist involved in defense work to die mysteriously".
      • Unsourced voice overlays (the impression is that they are either TV or radio news) briefly mention deaths of Victor Moore(sp?), Bhapti Vinghida(sp!?), John Ferry.
      • Pages of the Mail on Sunday are shown with pictures of the dead. Top of page banner headline Trail of Tragedy Through A Top Secret World (then beneath as main headline) MYSTERY DEATH OF SCIENTIST No 7.
      • Tony Collins, author of Open Verdict is seen in archived interview.
      • Death of Shaney Warren(sp?) described.
      • Death of Robert Greenhall Greenhalgh [38] described given by BBC Newsreader Martin Lewis (I think).
      • Closing caption: By 1990, at least 25 people connected to the Defence Industry had died in mysterious circumstances
      • End of segment. --bodnotbod 15:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment - In spite of the assurances provided by Max rspct and Bodnotbod I can find nothing about this subject on the Internet, including on the BBC site. I can't even find a listing for a program called Scandal. Wikipedia:Verifiability requires that "articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable or credible sources". Until someone can provide sources verifying the contents of these two article that other editors can check, these articles do not meet the verifiability standard, and should be deleted. If these articles do not get deleted, then everything in them that cannot be verified will have to be removed from the articles. -- Dalbury(Talk) 17:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong keep I also watched the Program on BBC2 so in fact hunted for more details on Wikipedia - The strangest News Report relates to - Shani Warren, twenty-six years old. Personal assistant in a company called Micro Scope, which was taken over by GEC Marconi less than four weeks after her death. Found drowned in 45cm. (18in) of water, not far from the site of Greenhalgh’s death fall. Warren died exactly one week after the death of Gooding and serious injury to Greenhalgh on 10th April 1987. She was found gagged with a noose around her neck. Her feet were also bound and her hands tied behind her back. Coroner’s verdict: Open. (It was said that Warren had gagged herself, tied her feet with rope, then tied her hands behind her back and hobbled to the lake on stiletto heels to drown herself.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.20.25 (talk • contribs) Only other edit from this IP address is in the Marconi Scientists article.

  • Weak keep per WP:SCH proposal. While this article doesn't actually comply with the proposed requirements (it has enough content, but WP:SCH suggests that facts be verifiable from sources other than those published by the school itself), it's hard to argue that it fails to comply with the spirit of the proposal. A verifiable external source for the "top 100" claim, and preferably the exact position in the rankings, would make this a firm "keep". And I'm a deletionist mergist where schools are concerned, mind. — Haeleth Talk 01:59, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

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

[edit] Exploding dog (video)

This is not in any way a notable or prolific internet meme. It is not common enough to warrant a Wikipedia article, and if Wikipedia is not a web guide, then it certainly is not an A-Z of every piece of multimedia to hit the internet. Lavareef 14:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • I agree with the nominator. I wouldn't be opposed to a merge with Internet phenomenon or something, I guess, altho I don't particularly see value to it either. In any case, this article doesn't need to exist independantly and thus should be deleted. Netcruft is overrepresented on Wikipedia, but I think we can trim it back simply by expecting normal standards of verifiability, which this article lacks. Friday (talk) 15:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not encyclopedic. Crotalus horridus 15:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't find this so called "Internet phenomenon" anywhere - there are no webpages with it listed in the first half-dozen Google listings. There is a blog called Exploding Dog, however. I think it's either a hoax or a very very very obscure Internet creation. Additional: I checked Internet meme and there is a link to this video, but I still think it's not very notable. If this article is deleted I suggest it be removed from that article as well unless someone can prove me wrong re: its notability. 23skidoo 16:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I am not doing anything yet because it seems that I shouldn't do that until this review period ends. But since the comments were made I have expanded the article beyond 1 line to provide more substance to it. To provide some context, this school is one of the oldest and most prestigious in India, and we should have some added tolerance for articles that deal with non-US things on the English site, and not rely entirely on the foreign languages to pick up that responsibility, especially in a big country like India where a lot of English is spoken, and Internet penetration is low right now.

Request renewed for deltion of this page, based on its sanitizations and generalities, and general sectarian offensiveness and provocation.

[edit] Irish-Scots

Reason why the page should be deleted: this page is too short and too sectarian to do justice to the larger issue it awkwardly attempts to essay understanding: that of dual loyalty. Is it possible to be loyal to Ireland and Scotland at the same time (we all know the answer to that, anyway). The page should be deleted because it is provocative in a sectarian fashion, and was heavily sanitized when first produced for a vote on deletion. Pls. review with my additions (provided CPMcE has not deleted them). Thank You.

[edit] Irish-Scots

Not a clearly defined community.PatGallacher 17:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I only meant to call for deletion of the article, but I may have triggered of a call for deletion of the category as well, so be it. Some of these issues were discussed in the Charles Kennedy talk page. The crucial point is that the term "Irish-Scots" is NOT significantly used in Scotland, if it was then it would be encyclopedic. Whether we like it or not (and there are some good reasons for not liking it) the main social division in Scotland is between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Who all does this term apply to? Lots of Scottish people (including many Protestants) have an Irish ancestor somewhere in their family tree. How predominant does your Irish ancestry have to be to come into this category? Most Scottish people would have no idea how to answer this. PatGallacher 17:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Neutral insofar as the Ulster Scots addresses this same population, protestant Irish that migrated from Scotland and later settled in the US (Ronald Reagan being among the notable descendents). Jtmichcock 00:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC) I'm changing my vote to neutral. I am persuaded that my reference was incorrect, but I am not certain that the group has the notability to merit its own article. So count me on the fence. Jtmichcock 19:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Although I'm only a weak "keep" on this article, I have to point out that your "delete" vote appears to be based on a misunderstanding: this article clearly does not refer to the same community as Ulster Scots. Ulster Scots or Scots-Irish are people of Scottish descent in Ireland, while Irish-Scots are people of Irish descent in Scotland. So the question is not whether the community referred to is already covered by Ulster Scots, but whether it merits an article of its own. --Ryano 12:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Disagree with both comments above.
  • I don't know if you live in Scotland, PatGallacher, but I do, and I know plenty of people who call themselves Irish-Scots, famously of course Billy Connolly and James Connolly. If you know anything about Scottish history then you'll know that in many parts of Scotland there where NO Roman Catholics until the first wave of immigration in the 19th century, when many Irish people came to Scotland to take the jobs of striking workers - which caused a great deal of resentment at the time.
  • Without wanting to sound flippant, you only need to go to Celtic Park to see tons of Irish-Scots - why else do they wave all those tricolours? Indeed, Celtic F.C. (and Hibernian F.C) where specifically created to provide recreational facilities for the Irish-Scots.
  • Who do you suppose the Ancient Order of Hibernians consists of in Scotland?
  • Ulster Scots does NOT address the same population at all. Ulster Scots are people who emigrated from Scotland to Ireland (mostly in the "plantations" of the 16th-17th century, while Irish-Scots are people who emigrated from Ireland to Scotland, mostly in the 19th and 20th centuries. Completely different and distinct.
  • You cite the Ulster Scots, Jt, but if you care to look at that page, you'll see the following:
    • "Ulster-Scots" is a term used to refer to the Presbyterians descended from people of Scotland who live in Ulster, Ireland. "Scotch-Irish" is the usual term in the United States; "Scots-Irish" is also used to refer to the same people, and is not to be confused with Irish-Scots, i.e. Irish immigrants to Scotland.
  • So obviously the author of that page thinks there is such a thing as Irish-Scots.
  • Incidentally, I created the stub, and I recognise that it is rather poor, and needs improved, but not deleted.
  • I did not create the category, so there must be someone else who agrees with me.

Camillus(talk) 01:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, perhaps not under this title, but the topic of Irish emigrant communities in Scotland, their descendants, and the cultural ramifications thereof is clearly (a) real and (b) worthy of coverage. Palmiro | Talk 20:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I'd like to see a few more references to this being the primary descriptor for Scots people of Irish descent. I would probably favour deleting the category, however, as I'm not a fan of categorising biographical articles purely by ethnicity. --Ryano 11:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a key demographic group in Scotland, and a quality article on the topic will increase understanding of modern Scotland.--Mais oui! 06:13, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Transwiki to the Wiktionary. The term is real and has been in use for quite some time now. It usually refers to a break from work to have a drink (or buy one from a vendor prior to drinking it). While coffee breaks are usually social activities conducted while drinking coffee, the term "drink run" generally focuses on the activity of procuring the drink before consuming it (the social activities, if any, would concentrate around the drink source, like a water cooler). 147.70.242.21 21:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete NN publishing company; almost no text left after removing copyvio from komikwerks.com. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 20:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep The subjective designation of NN publishing company is incorrect. Komikwerks is one of the longest running web comics portals that also has a history of regular printed volumes. Further, it is home to "Stan Lee's Sunday Funnies", hosting the most significant name in the history of comics. Several of the comics properties have been optioned for film. The company is marshalling a major book launch for 2006. It was recently featured on the NBC prime time series "Las Vegas" (episode #56 - "Mothwoman" which aired November 21). The copyvio designation is also incorrect. The text was based on an article from author's (my) own website (Comics2Film.com article -- which, admittedly, is drawn from a press release) and I give Wikipedia full permission to reprint and use as a basis for the Komikwerks entry. Request that gutted article be restored and article be removed from the AfD list. Apologies in advance if this "keep" entry is formatted incorrectly. .:.Robworley.:.

[edit] Notes on etymology in the world of Harry Potter

Wikibooks
Wikibooks' [[wikibooks:|]] has more about this subject:

Original research and soapboxing. Someone seems to have a point to prove against Ms Rowling. [[Sam Korn]] 20:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Do a ton of these kinds of articles pop up at the end of every semester or something? Seems like everyone wrote their term paper, turned it in, and then decided to post it to WP. (This is a poor example and I'm just making a general complaint, but you get the idea.) Peyna 20:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and lack of references. 147.70.242.21 20:19, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain (just comment): Neither original "research" (did you read the article, or just make broad assumptions based on the title?), soapboxing, or a dis against Ms. Rowling. What it IS meant to be is a general disclaimer - and an attempt to defuse the ongoing debates on the existing Wikipedia pages about the rigourousness of the language in the works of J.K.Rowling. I'm supposing that you probably havn't noticed that there's endless debates on talk pages about the "Harry Potter universe" about whether this term is from Latin, or that is supposed to be Aramaic, or whether the spelling on page 27 is canonical, or the spelling on page 62 is the final word.

    This is attempt to defuse these debates by pointing out that there is no final answer, so just have fun with - but there's no need for upteen jillion contesting re-writes of an article depending on the viewpoint of the last author to get their paws on the page.

    If that's violation of the Wikipedia policy - and there seems to be a general policy against disclaimers in genreal - by all means, take it down - I don't have a lot of time or ego invested in writing it - but it was not created for the reasons listed in it's request for deletion.

    • OK, I'll go through this if you want to. This is emphatically not encyclopaedia writing. It belongs on a fan site or something. You are presenting your opinion in the article as a proven fact: it isn't. This is the definition of soapboxing. Yes, I did read the article, and found it mildly interesting. It is certainly well written. However, it is emphatically not a topic for an encyclopaedia. I have to say I haven't noticed these debates, but this is a big wiki, so that isn't entirely surprising. And that's true, disclaimers are disencouraged. But what is it you are disclaiming against? If it is against the way articles are written and concepts presented in existing articles, then the existing articles must be changed to fit in with other policies. By "original research", I mean to say that this is information that has never been published elsewhere and is your own point of view, undiluted. [[Sam Korn]] 20:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
      • thank you for the compliment. I can't disagree with your comments - it's not a "factual" article - it's only a by-product of the nature of the "public contributions" of a wiki. You're right in that were this a paper encyclopedia the article would not exist, and as such, it probably shouldn't be here.
  • Delete: Ok - you're right, it would not be in a paper edition of an encyclopedia. Beowulf314159 20:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Analysis of the texts down to the level of word usage on individual pages is exactly what the Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter is for. Coördinating the efforts of editors writing on Harry Potter subjects is what Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter is for. Uncle G 22:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete in present form. There is a place for this, but maybe not its own article. Maybe as a subheading on a main Harry Potter article. Bill shannon 02:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree that it is soapboxing. If people want to discuss the etymology in HP, just let them. It doesn't even give any actual facts. It doesn't really seem necessary to have an article for it. Maybe merge it with something else?
  • Move to either the Talk namespace or the Wikipedia namespace, perhaps under WikiProject Harry Potter. This is something more akin to policy than an encyclopedia article. —Brent Dax 19:17, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOR. Chick Bowen 00:05, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Widely documented stuff. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 20:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - notability can be debatable, but I'd think it'd be more encyclopedic to take each section of the article and merge it with the article on the appropriate game.

  • Delete. The issue of cheating itself is much more well covered in Cheating in online games. Cheats on individual games should be merged with the article on the game itself per 147.70.242.21, unless the issue is a major and notable phenomenon (Cheating in Counter-Strike). -- Saikiri~ 21:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of nasal singers

Subjective topic by definition, and so not in line with WP:NPOV. Could easily be used as a "list of singers I don't particularly like"; I don't see this ever being a very encyclopaedic article. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 20:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - even if there were an objective definition for the term "nasal singers", it would not be a well defined set. Where's the cut-off? Who decides if Tina Turner is nasal and Cyndi Lauper is not? No one is that authoritative. 147.70.242.21 20:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete since as far as I can make out all of these singers sing through their mouths, not their noses. Pity, I was looking forward to something genuinely novel here. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 21:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, one sings through both. 147.70.242.21 is right, though. It is a matter of opinion, and there's no attempt at neutrality here. One would render such an article neutral by attributing the opinion of "nasality" to its holders. However, since that would result in a hotch-potch of multiple opinions from different sources, there being no one single definition of "nasal", it seems daft to have a single list article on the subject. "List of singers considered to be 'nasal' according to various people's individual and differing definitions of 'nasal'" seems far too cumbersome to ever be useful to anyone. Attributed opinions about individual singers are far better reported in the articles on those singers. Delete. Uncle G 22:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. I don't know if WP:ISNOT applies, but I just couldn't resist. 23skidoo 00:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as inherently POV. Jtmichcock 00:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not inherently POV but the chances of it's being properly worked up are zilch. If not deleted, then the article should be rewritten to say that it is a list of names of singers together with source citations attesting to their nasal voice tone. Then every name that is not accompanied by such a citation, i.e. all of them, should be cut from the article, pasted into the talk page, and not reinserted until a citation can be provided. I think I'll do that much right now. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - if there were even more than one person listed, I might even consider it, but why not start List of Off-Key Singers or List of Singers with a Slight Lisp? Or List of Singers who you can't tell if they are British or American when they are singing? Bill shannon 02:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

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

    • CommentWell why is the Teen Podcaster's Network getting picked on if the Podcast Network does not? It should not be deleted because if someone wants to know about the network, they will find out about it. It's not slanted in any way whatsoever and should not be deleted. Just because it is "obscure" doesn't mean that people won't look at it. Wikipedia is so messed up, and it has strayed from it's original purpose- the beauty of everyone being able to edit it if they have a contribution. Shame on you for picking on Adam Curry. He was just trying to help. I defended Wikipedia from my history teacher, who complained about it. I almost got in trouble for it. I don't see why I did if you cannot do what you are supposed to be able to- put your two cents in. You exclusive supposed elite who spend your days editing Wikipedia are the only people who have any rights. While it may be fun, why can't a leading expert make edits? That's what I ask.
