[edit] The Nighthawk (Ron Thomas)

Self promotion. vanity. non noteable. ALKIVAR™ 05:36, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable - less than 45 Google hits, possible promo. Megan1967 06:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, eek, self-promotion. Wyss 11:43, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete - horrible and horrible vanity --Brookie 12:04, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete - Egads, JPEG image with lots of text, and theme song by Gino Vannelli?! Need I say more?
I'm pretty sure this is a copyvio. If you click on the picture, there's a line of text at the bottom of the page that reads "Nighthawk Biography (c) 2004, Thomas Consulting Group" Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:50, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Its not likely a copyvio because a user named Ron Thomas uploaded it. If he owns it and uploads it then its legit. However that doesnt stop the fact that its self promo/vanity. ALKIVAR™ 22:34, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Variedad del Rock

While I'm all for track lists, this one is for a rather random compilation album of miscellaneous rock music. Is that encyclopedic? Radiant! 00:24, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable - 9 Google hits mostly unrelated. Megan1967 02:55, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

An Excel spreadsheet created by a person unknown to Google. This might be the least significant article I've ever seen. --Lee Hunter 23:47, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Divine Liturgy of Saint James (Transcription)

This a direct, barely edited (there is some wikification) transcription of "Saint James", for use during a religious service. No context or additional information is provided. Just a 52 kB long transcription. Phils 00:42, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

If it's not copyvio, I'd say Transwiki to WikiSource. --Idont Havaname 01:23, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thundercats outtakes

Originator. Delete. I believe that the "Thundercats Outtakes" article should be deleted. It was not really a significant Internet meme, but more just a "look at this, isn't it cute?" kind of forwarded e-mail. Furthermore, I really wonder if there are copyright issues involved, although Wiki doesn't host the media. — WCityMike 00:37, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Funny stuff (I used the clips in the first mix CD I ever burned) but not encyclopedic. Delete. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:09, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I'd rather see an article about this meme than Goatse.cx. Alternately, merge with blooper. 23skidoo 01:35, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. When I saw the VfD message on that article, I was pretty sure this was a "bad language" kind of issue, because of all the swearing on those quotes. That doesn't offend me, but anyway, I'm surprised. The article is all there, and it's pretty complete, too. So why delete it? Because it's not notable? There are several hundreds of articles on Wikipedia that deal with much less notable subjects, with much less content. Somehow, they're still there. What I'm trying to say is, I do not think we have the need to get rid of this article just because it's "not important enough" to be listed on Wikipedia. I see Wikipedia as "the encyclopedia where we'll find everything we won't find on other encyclopedias", so I think it does fit here. That said, keep it. By the way, this article holds absolutely no copyright violations.--Kaonashi 02:47, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- "the encyclopedia where we'll find everything we won't find on other encyclopedias" is not a very accurate description of the reasons that Wikipedia exists, and its goals. Look at the standards at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not: "When you wonder what should or should not be in an article named "whatever", ask yourself what a reader would expect under "whatever" in an encyclopedia." Doesn't really support the premise of "if we wouldn't find it on those other encyclopedias, it belongs here." -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:44, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Any reason not to merge this with Thundercats? —Charles P. ^(Mirv) 03:00, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm going with merge into Thundercats myself. Good idea. Technogeek 03:08, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm confused (I have no knowledge of the cartoon)... if it really is a widespread meme phenomena I'd be kind enough to say merge into Thundercats--ZayZayEM 08:47, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, this is not encyclopedic, WP not a blog or datadump. Wyss 11:36, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. In the article on Thundercats - Ho! - put "in mid-2003, an MP3 of profane out-takes featuring the voices of {whoever played Lion-O and Snarf} was widely circulated on the internet. {link to external source}". That's all this meme needs; actual quotes are overkill, more suited to Everything2. Whoever wrote the article couldn't even be bothered to include the year. -Ashley Pomeroy 16:16, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It was circulating way before that -- probably about 2000 is when I got hold of it. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:44, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - Well, this is another problem with the article; can somebody cite (a) the dates of the original recording sessions in which the bloopers appear - and given that some of the dialogue includes specific plot details, this seems possible (the 'mega-condenser' seems to appear in episode 42 of season one, 'Feliner Pt 2'), and (b) when the bloopers were 'leaked' and who by? I can understand Wikipedia having an article on the 'Troggs Tapes', and perhaps Orson Welles' frozen peas commercial, but the underground nature of most bootlegs renders them un-encyclopaedia-ble. I used to fancy Cheetara, in fact I still do; she can hit me with her hand-activated bo staff [1] as much as she likes. I believe that more women should wear furry costumes, with pointy ears. (...) Also, there was the 'Blundercats' thing a while back. [2] -Ashley Pomeroy 18:26, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Not notable, and all of those quotes make it a copyvio. Delete. Rick K 22:08, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
Partial merge, and redirect. -Sean Curtin 01:46, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Delete and mention on ThunderCats per Ashley Pomeroy. Certainly don't merge the profanities into this article for a children's show. :) —Korath (Talk) 02:10, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Merge any useful and tasteful information into Thundercats. Carrp | Talk 02:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Merge and delete. Merge info about the "legendary bloopers" with Thundercats, move the quotes to Wikiquote. -- user:zanimum
Merge anything useable to ThunderCats, no redirect. Megan1967 05:42, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Treehouse car

Hmmmm, let's see... one car that was seen on Ripley's Believe It or Not!, and that anecdote embroidered with speculation about what could be done in the future with that concept, especially by the government of Brazil. Why does that sound vaguely familiar? -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:59, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete Created by vandal who swarms wikipedia with neologisms, often of their own invention. Mikkalai 04:31, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Phonisicle

Not a word - I've worked in the recording industry and have never heard it, and (double checking myself) there are no results on Google. HyperZonk 00:59, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Here's the gen:
- A couple of days ago -cle was created. Like many, I suspect, when I saw it my first reaction was that that was blatantly false etymology. For starters: "corpsicle" is a pun on "popsicle", which in turn is derived from "icicle". I was all ready to write a sarcastic note on the talk page, complete with mention of "bicycle", "muscle", "corpuscle", and "pinocle", when I turned up the fact that the "-icle" root of "icicle" in fact does refer to a spike-like shape. So I aborted my note thinking that the {{move to wiktionary}} process would sort out the problem of the other words. Other editors apparently have not been as restrained, or have not done as much research. The addition of "testicle", "rusticle", "phonisicle", and "fungusicle" appear to have been made in order to make the point that the etymology as presented is ... cough ... slightly too broad. It is only "icicle" that has the "-icle" suffix. The remaining words are derived from "icicle" ("popsicle", "rusticle"), are puns on words derived from "icicle" ("creamsicle", "fudgesicle", "corpsicle"), aren't derived from an "-icle" root at all ("testicle"), or are nonce words to make a point ("fungusicle", "phonisicle").
I vote: Fix, and Wiktionary, -cle before this nonsense gets out of hand (note that the {{move to wiktionary}} notice has unfortunately been removed); and Delete both phonisicle and fungusicle.
... and a vandalism watch on the anonymous users who are giving us all of these neologisms (further ones are "phonopolis", "gyropolis", and "paleontopolis"), bogus additions to polis, and Wario the Quario. Uncle G 02:25, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)
Delete not notable neologism - zero Google hits. Megan1967 03:05, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This article is created by a user who persistently creates neologisms with "polis". I tried to talk to him, in vain. I consider this vandalism, hence speedily deleted. Mikkalai 04:25, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unquadnilium, Unbiseptium, Unquadunium, Unquadbium, Unquadtrium, Unquadquadium, Unquadpentium, Unquadhexium, Unquadseptium, Unquadoctium, Unquadennium, Unpentnilium, Unpentunium, Unpentbium

More extrapolationcruft, in line with the binilnilium nomination. All information on these pages is boilerplate or simply mathematical extrapolation, which could be carried out ad infinitum. (And why pages on these particular non-existant elements?) Eric119 01:55, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete (again). These placeholder names are for elements which do not exist and have never been created. Should they ever be, they will be given a more formal name. Let's wait until then to create an article. Denni ☯ 02:33, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)
Redirects to Systematic element name ~~Transuranium element~~, since these atomic number are greater than 92. The names are proposed by IUPAC btw so it's not really a hoax as such, see [3] . Megan1967 03:08, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect amended as per above. Megan1967 00:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Redirect it may seem odd to some, but there are people who will look up such bizarre words. Joshuaschroeder 07:09, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, redirection would be unhelpful until such a thing exists (WP not a word construction manual), vapor-element. Wyss 11:32, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, since the problem with redirecting is that there is no practical end to the series (e.g. quaddiseptium, etc). Radiant! 11:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Systematic element name, which describes the scheme by which these names are constructed—and redirects are cheap. Do not redirect to transuranium element, because these elements exist as nothing but figments of an overzealous imagination, and such a redirect would be confusing. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:37, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Agree with Denni. If/when these elements are found/created, they will eventually be given a new name anyway.--jag123 21:04, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. These articles can be recreated when the elements in question are observed. -- The Anome 00:03, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No useful information. Redirects considered harmful in this case, as if there is a list of all these elements, they will be coloured as blue links, suggesting we have separate articles for them. The chances of anyone actually searching for these names is fairly remote. sjorford:// 09:18, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Don't Delete - the talker base was created on the 12th February, so it's easy to understand why doesn't Google still lists it. (comment by anon [User:193.136.236.65])

Even if it had some Google hits, it wouldn't be notable - having 0 Google hits is an extreme case of that. The point is that this is a piece of software that very few people have heard of, so it is extremely unlikely that someone is going to be looking for an encyclopedia article about it.

Basically, Wikipedia is not a place for you to promote your own software. There are other sites for that - a much more appropriate place, for example, is the Python Packages Index.

You are, of course, welcome to contribute things to Wikipedia. A good way to contribute is to find a topic that you know about, that other people would want to learn more about, and that isn't covered fully enough, and write or expand an article about it. When I joined Wikipedia, for example, I didn't write an article about the Python parser for parsing expression grammars that I was coding at the time, but I did write an article on parsing expression grammars.

[edit] Tsunami Aid

This was a non-notable event involving the earthquake. It didn't get big ratings like the 9-11 aid. In fact, the only coverage on it was entertainment shows and not even the news. The only promotion I ever saw was on the show Access Hollywood, which incidentally is on the same network this was broadcast on. I doubt it even garnered enough money to pay for its production costs.

Delete, not an encyclopedic classification. Wyss 11:24, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I think the use of this term seems to be incredibly common in the Chinese media (both sides of the Taiwan straits) for whatever reasons - a Google search for the Chinese term would show up 179,000 pages, see here) and , there is actually an equivalent article of the exact same name ("Four Great Inventions") in the Chinese Wikipedia see here in Chinese. --JuntungWu 18:06, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC). Note that I am not saying this is a strong keep and I would support a merge somewhere as well. JuntungWu 18:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This is the English Wikipedia, and even if this phrase is common and notable in Chinese, that doesn't mean that is common or notable in English, and deserving of an article. The content (that is, the fact that these four inventions originated in China) is of course important; but the inventions are more appropriately included elsewhere, such as China. --BM 21:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep I doubt that this should be merged into China. Perhaps into a history of Chinese technology if there was one. Wincoote 21:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup/expand. It sounds to me like this is a culturally significant claim, frequently repeated by Chinese ethnic or cultural advocates. The current stub has some value in making a more comprehensive article about the claim. -- Smerdis of Tlön 15:51, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I think the point of my VfD request is being missed. Of course the information is valuable, but this is not the proper place for it. It should be included elsewhere, like China or the articles on the inventions themselves. Katefan0 16:19, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
  - Wikipedia is not paper. I tend to believe that this page should remain because it should ultimately be about something not entirely comprehended in China or History of China: the fact that Chinese ethnic or cultural advocates have generated a slogan, apparently fairly familiar among Chinese speakers, that these four inventions are great Chinese inventions. There seems to be some significant investment of effort in publicising this claim among Sinophones worldwide. If so, the phenomenon itself is significant and worthy of its own article. -- Smerdis of Tlön 17:02, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - I see your point and in some ways agree with it, but I'm still not sure that this is the proper venue to air it out. It seems to me, based on your thoughts, that a more proper article could be created that would talk about this cultural phenomenon in a more big-picture way -- not only as it relates to these four inventions; something like China's Public Image or China's National Pride. The Chinese are obviously very concerned with their public image and there are multiple examples that could be explored (their space program is one). But of course that would require a creation effort from someone well-versed in the issue, which I am not. And as the article stands now, it's fairly useless. Katefan0 17:11, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
      - PS — Actually, we do already have Science and technology in China; the article is a dog's breakfast; it contains large portions of what looks to be an unwikified PRC press release. There is a brief section on History of Science and Technology in China, which should be perhaps fronted, and the business about PRC government sponsorship of research and education heavily edited, wikified, and pared down, assuming it is not a copyvio. Off to cleanup now. AAR, if the consensus is not to have a separate article on the campaign, this would seem to be the place to merge and redirect this. -- Smerdis of Tlön 17:16, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep this article and reorganise together with Science and technology in China, with the latter rename as [[Science and technology in mainland China]] or [[..in mainland China after 1949]]. — Insta ntnood 18:05, Feb 14 2005 (UTC)

    - Comment: The general ettiquette is to show your desire to remove the nomination by striking through your comments above (using <s>text</s>). Removing the VfD tag early is severely frowned upon. Too often, it is a tactic used by vandals to try to disrupt the process. At the end of the 5 day discussion period, the nomination will go through the Wikipedia:Deletion process. If the consensus is still an overwhelming "keep" at that point, anyone (including you) can follow the process to close the discussion and remove the tag. Rossami (talk) 17:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Creation geology

This page is essentially a repost of material from the previously deleted page Views of Creationists and mainstream scientists compared. User:Ungtss took most of the material directly from there and simply reposted it in this section. We should be avoiding reposting deleted material. The article as it stands right now reads like a creationist screed and should be deleted. Joshuaschroeder 06:33, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep, not a screed. It describes creation geology claims in a tone appropriate for an encyclopedia. Gazpacho 07:25, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

or, merge to Flood geology and optionally rename that article to something more encompassing. I enjoy debunking creationism in any forum where it's appropriate; I also fully agree with Philip's comments below. As I said in two previous creationism-related nominations, having an article is not an endorsement. And Megan, no personal attacks, please. Gazpacho 10:01, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. It presents personal opinions as facts. There may be questions or uncertainties about some of the geological tests but that does not, in any way, validate the alterantive explanation. The arguments for Creationism should stand or fall on their own merits. Weaknesses in the arguments for Physical or Evolutionary Geology do not validate Creationist Geology. Furthermore the failiure to apply the same rigorous debate to theories of Creationist Geology can only serve to bring discredit upon the theory. ping 07:39, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"presents personal opinions as facts" is a basis for cleanup rather than deletion, although I don't see the article doing that. Furthermore, Wikipedia's goal is to describe, not to find truth. See the "Pseudoscience" section of NPOV. Gazpacho
Delete, reads like screed to me. Wyss 11:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm just not seeing what makes this more of a "screed," and less appropriate, than e.g. Dianetics, Ayurveda. Gazpacho

They're a bit screedy as well, aren't they? Wyss 18:34, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep. creation geology is creation geology. if it reads like screed, fix it. but it's encyclopedic, and addresses the issues i think. it's not a repost -- it contains a lot of new information, and some old. PLEASE follow the VOTES FOR DELETION POLICY and only vote for deletion if it meets one of the criteria -- this doesn't meet any of the criteria, except "we don't like it." "We don't like it" is insufficient to delete. we fix that by EDITING. Ungtss 13:56, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It is an encyclopedic rendering of a possible interperetation of the facts. I would support someone adding a criticisms section if they are concerned that the current rendering is not NPOV enough, but the topic itself is sound regardless of the fact that many people on Wikipedia disagree with the points being discussed. They do represent a distinct and real interperetation that has been posed by various groups, and so this does legitimately warrant a topic to discuss these views. -- EmperorBMA|話す 14:21, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. It isn't really a repost of the deleted article. For one thing, I think it has existed for a while. However, it is still true that there is very little, if anything, in this article that is not a recap of the same basic creationist arguments to be found in such articles as Creationism and Creation science. If there is something which isn't duplicated elsewhere, that little bit could easily be moved elsewhere. The sections that relate specifically to geology are recaps of the arguments in Flood geology, or arguments about dating techniques which overlap Radiometric dating and Young Earth creationism. Creationism being a notable view, albeit far from mainstream, Wikipedia obviously must cover it. But how many different articles should there be, all pushing basically the same pseudoscientific arguments? Do editors trying to maintain NPOV have to play whack-a-mole in numerous different articles related to creationism? --BM 15:16, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

i disagree. this page has minimal overlap. creationist views on radiometric dating are covered NOWHERE else, and neither is the material on the antediluvian earth -- this page contains material covered NOWHERE else -- where would suggest we put it? as to whackamole, yes, that's what this is. except we moles aren't giving up:). Ungtss 17:29, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What's wrong with them going in Flood geology?Joshuaschroeder 20:35, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

they're not about the flood. Ungtss 01:08, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I agree with BM. There's obviously a place for this type of information on Wikipedia, but there are plenty of other articles where this same pseudoscience is covered, like Creation science. It's fine to have an article about Chakras for instance, but we don't need separate ones for Heart chakra and Root chakra et al. Katefan0 15:44, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

There's already a Flood geology page. This page doesn't cover more than this. Joshuaschroeder 20:33, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete, geology is a science, creationism is not. The name of the article is therefore an attempt to mislead. Megan1967 01:20, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I was tempted to vote delete on the grounds that it could be combined with the Flood geology article, but the latter is already fairly large and this article does cover different material than the Flood geology article. In any case, if they were to be combined, it would probably be best under the title of this article.
- On another note, I again see that a number of people here are voting to delete purely or partly because of their personal POV on the topic (for example, Megan1967, the entry just above this). That such people can't see how much their biases get in the way of NPOV causes me to despair that Wikipedia will never achieve its goal of truly presenting a neutral point of view. As with writing articles, voters should vote on whether the article is suitable for an encyclopedia, not on the basis of their personal POV, no matter how common that POV may be. Philip J. Rayment 06:09, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - Are you claiming that creationism is a science? Science relies on testability of proof. Creationism relies on the written words of the Bible, a book with a religious POV. Faith is not science. You can't ignore the facts. It has nothing to do with claims of my POV. Of course being a christian yourself Philip wouldn't have anything to do with your position now would it.Megan1967 06:50, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - Are you claiming that your POV is undisputed fact? Because it isn't. It doesn't matter what I claim. Creationary scientists do claim that it is as scientific as uniformitarian views, and, although getting it's framework from the Bible, is also based on hard scientific evidence. Those are the facts. Your implied claim that it indisputably not science is simply not true. You may (hypothetically) be right that it is not science, but that is disputed by very many people, including many scientists, so you are, as I said, basing your vote on your POV. Philip J. Rayment 03:04, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      - Sign your posts next time Philip. Creationism is not based on "hard scientific evidence". Creationism is based on the writings of the Bible - that is not science, that is faith. I would seriously challenge your statement that "many scientists" support creationism as science. Research does not back up your claim. For example - "Out of the approximately 13,000,000 scientists and engineers in the US alone, less than 5% (some 600,000) are creationists, according to Gallup poll results. However, this number includes those working in fields not related to life origins (such as computer scientists, mechanical engineers, etc.). Taking into account only those working in the relevant fields of earth and life sciences, there are about 480,000 scientists, but only about 700 believe in "creation-science" or consider it a valid theory [Robinson, 1995]. This means that less than 0.15% of relevant scientists believe in creationism. And that's just the US, which has more creationists than any other industrialized country. In other countries, the number of relevant scientists who accept creationism drops to less than one tenth of 1%." see [8]. 0.15% does not equate to "many" Megan1967 07:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        I normally do sign my posts (and I have now signed that one). But to get to the point, you are still ignoring that it is a POV that you are using to justify a deletion. Do you dispute that others claim that creationism is based on hard scientific evidence? I don't know why I'm asking—I asked last time and you ignored the question in favour of arguing your POV again. Personally, I would consider even your attempt-to-minimise 700 scientists to be "many" in the sense that it is a non-trivial number. Philip J. Rayment 15:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        And if you think that creationism is not POV, you are sadly mistaken. Creationism takes the view from a religious point, there is nothing scientific about that. You still haven't provided any evidence that creationism is more popular than evolutionary science except from your own POV. Any number provided by any survey wouldn't satisfy you. Megan1967 03:37, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        What makes you think that I think that creationism is not POV? I'm saying that evolution is also POV, and that you are therefore voting to delete because it doesn't agree with your POV, which is not a valid reason to delete. It is also your opinion that there is nothing scientific about creation. Others disagree. I never claimed that creationism is more popular (although I think that argument can be made with qualifications). Where did you get the idea I was claiming that? Philip J. Rayment 14:28, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - I couldn't agree more. It's not PoV to point out that Creationism isn't a science; the only people who think that it is are the creationists themselves, just as the only people who think that phrenology or Marxism are scientific are phrenologists and Marxists — and that's not enough to make it an open question. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:18, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      - The only people that think evolution is the only correct view are evolutionists. What does that prove? Philip J. Rayment 03:04, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        And many people once thought that the earth was flat, was created in seven days and was the centre of the solar system, but that still did not make it true. Megan1967 08:17, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Ignoring that the "flat earth" belief was mainly fiction, you are correct. Many people now think that evolution is true, but that does not make it so. Philip J. Rayment 15:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Do you believe that the earth is flat? Then your arguments are not based on science. At least you have changed your arguments from "few" believe to "many" believe. I believe that is a concession on your part. Megan1967 03:37, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        No, I don't believe that the Earth is flat? Why do you ask? I haven't changed my arguments (and therefore haven't conceded anything). What makes you think that I ever denied that many believed in evolution? Philip J. Rayment 14:28, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      - The first paragraph makes it clear that it's considered pseudoscience. what else do you want? the fact is, it EXISTS, just like phrenology. but phrenology isn't up for deletion. why are you voting to delete an article on a topic that exists, and which is flagged as pseudoscience in the intro? Ungtss 13:15, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        If you agree that it is a pseudo-science then Creation Geology is misnamed as such. Creation Pseudogeology maybe. Whatever. Calling it Creation Geology is misleading. Megan1967 02:16, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Perhaps so, but that's what the creationists call it, so the naming convention guidelines are pretty clear that that's what the article ought to be called (if there's an article on it at all). For example, we have an article on the "true Catholic Church" called, yes, true Catholic Church, not because the article should in content or in tone approve of the claims of the subject of the article, but because that's the generally used (self- and otherwise) description. Alai 02:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Creationists may call it that but that doesnt mean the majority call it that or that it is true and correct. Creation Science and Creation Geology are oxymorons. Megan1967 06:00, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        So you keep asserting, but NPOV is about not claiming something disputed to be true even if you think it is true. If it was, I would be claiming that creation is true, but I for one am prepared to attempt a neutral point of view. Can you? Philip J. Rayment 15:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        You are not neutral Philip. I've seen your profile page. It's quite obvious you are not neutral on this. So don't try and pull the wool over anyone's eyes because your public position on creationism is noted. Megan1967 03:37, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        I'm not claiming to be neutral. I'm claiming that you are not neutral either, yet you are basing your vote to delete on your non-neutral POV, which is an invalid reason to vote to delete. How about you address my points instead of attacking me? My position on creationism is, as you say, public. I don't shirk from that. But that is not the point. The point is that your position is also public, and you are invalidly basing your vote on your opinion. How about actually addressing that point instead of stating the obvious about me as though it has some relevance to your invalid vote???? Philip J. Rayment 14:28, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        My vote isn't invalid. You can't make a persons vote invalid because you just so happen not to agree with it. Thank goodness creationists don't run democracies. This vote is on the Creation Geology article not anything else. Faith is not science - you keep asserting that's my POV, well according to Wikipedia articles on what faith is and what science is, I would say that to claim faith is equal to science is not correct, and thus my vote is perfectly valid. Allowing a misleading titled/named article to exist is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:59, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        My vote isn't invalid. I said that your reason for your vote is invalid. You can't make a persons vote invalid because you just so happen not to agree with it. But, according to you, disagreeing with the topic is reason for deletion? That is the point that you are still not addressing. Thank goodness creationists don't run democracies. What makes you think they don't? People that believed what the Bible says (i.e. what we would now call creationists) were quite involved with setting up modern democracy. Without them we may not have democracy. But now that you have raised that topic and I have responded, let's not go down that sidetrack. This vote is on the Creation Geology article not anything else. Did I say it was? No. I was saying that your vote on that was for invalid reasons, and you keep on raising other issues instead of sticking to that. Faith is not science - you keep asserting that's my POV... No, I keep asserting that your POV is being invalidly used as justification for voting to delete an article about a different POV. I'm not claiming that faith is science; where did you get that idea from? I would say that to claim faith is equal to science is not correct, and thus my vote is perfectly valid. That's a non-sequitur. Allowing a misleading titled/named article to exist is un-encyclopaedic. But it is merely a POV that it is a misleading title. And even if it is, renaming should be the solution instead of deletion. Philip J. Rayment 14:29, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        (my edit coincided with those below)
        I don't comb the encyclopedia for articles to delete; when one is proposed, and it's in my sphere of personal or professional interest, I look at it and vote accordingly. In so far as there's any inconsistency in this (and I don't think that there is any), it would apply to most people on most VfDs.
        Besides, it's slightly disingenuous to point to the fact that we're told in the first paragraph that the subject is considered to be pseudoscience. Would an article describing at length the theory that all North Americans were intellectually and morally inferior to other nationalities, and accursed by god, be acceptable if it said at the beginning: “This theory is rejected by mainstream thought and considered to be groundless“? A short description of a pseudo-scientific theory is one thing, but a full-length encyclopædia article whose only critical comment is one sentence at the beginning is another. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:26, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        first, your comparison to north american inferiority is rather silly, since almost half the united states population ascribes to this idea, and the MAJORITY of people worldwide ascribe to it, so it's by no means a fringe view. Ungtss 15:17, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        That rather misses my point. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:29, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Interesting you should give this hypothetical example, Κυριος Ετητης ;) In America in the 1910s and 20s, the leading evolutionary textbook taught practically the same thing (or specifically, white supremacy) — yet the ACLU went to court to fight for John Scopes' right to teach from this very book:

At the present time there exist upon the earth five races or varieties of man, each very different from the others in instincts, social customs, and, to an extent, in structure. These are the Ethiopian or negro type, originating in Africa; the Malay or brown race, from the islands of the Pacific; the American Indian; the Mongolian or yellow race, including the natives of China, Japan and the Eskimos; and finally, the highest type of all, the Caucasians, represented by the civilized white inhabitants of Europe and America.” (Hunter's Civic Biology pp. 195–196)[9] 138.130.194.229 13:37, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure why this would bear on the debate... particularly since modern science has basically discredited the idea that different ethnicitics are descended from different species of early man (and, therefore, has discredited the idea that certain races are inherently genetically inferior). Katefan0 14:55, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

- - - - second, feel free to add the mainstream challenges to the creationist views at the end -- npov provides for that -- nay -- npov DEMANDS that -- but why are you voting to delete an encyclopedic entry describing a particular view of geology? Ungtss 15:17, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        You've ignored most of what I said (and the reason I gave for my vote). In short: a psudo-scientific theory pushed by a geographically restricted (if unfortunately politically powerful) group of religious fundamentalists might warrant a short article; it doesn't warrant one of this length and detail, especially when little mention is made of its status. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:30, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        perhaps if your premises were correct, your conclusion would follow. but you of course ignore the entire religion of Islam, which ascribes to a young-earth interpretation of geological phenomena, including the flood. geologically restricted? hardly. dominant in north america, south america, nearly universal in africa and the middle east, all the way through to Indonesia, and at least 5% in Australia. Evolution is the geographically restricted fringe view -- a uniquely Western materialistic phenomenon. Ungtss 18:26, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        As a religious belief, you're right; as a pseudo-scientific theory, presented as scientific (as it is in the article), you're wrong. And that's the point. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        if religious belief and historical belief were separable in this case, you'd be right. but since this is above all a HISTORICAL belief about a deliberate act of creation, a garden built on a river, and a really big flood, you're wrong. that's my point. divorcing science from religion in this case is rather silly. genesis is either historical or it isn't. Ungtss 13:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Why are you conflating science with history? Even if I thought that Genesis was an historically accurate account of the beginning of the world, that wouldn't mean that I thought that creationism was scientific (it wouldn't even mean that I took Genesis to offer an explanation of the beginning of the world. I wonder if you're aware of what distinguishes science from non-science and pseudoscience? This isn't the place to go into it, but I'd be happy to discuss it somewhere appropriate. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:55, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        i'm aware of how the contemporary scientific community defines science and pseudoscience, and that creationism falls within the latter category. of course, i find that definition to be unreasonably narrow, but that's beside the point. the fact that creationism is pseudoscience doesn't change what it is -- and it is primarily a historical argument, based on an ostensibly historical account, and the subsequent interpretation of contemporary phenomena in light of that history. to accept the account as historical is to interpret natural phenomena in light of it. Ungtss 14:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Well, first, it's not just scientists who think of science in that way (many of them religious believers of a less literalist persuasion), but also philosophers of science (and many theologians). But, secondly and more importantly, what do you take the importance of science to be? What distinguishes science from guessing, or choosing the most congenial theory, or just believing what you're told? What's the relationship between the scientific method and justification? Thirdly, and finally, how soon before we fall off the edge of this screen? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        lol:). shall we continue here?

- - - - This vote isn't about whether Creationism is as a science, a pseudoscience, etc. This vote is about whether Creation geology warrants a separate article. If there is enough encyclopedic material on Creation geology that is distinct from the material presented in numerous other articles about creationism, then it should have a separate article, whether Creation geology is science, pseudoscience, or utter kookiness. I don't think there is enough such material, and the proliferation of articles related to creationism seems to be just a POV-motivated attempt to increase its presence in the Wikipedia and make it seem more like valid scientific view. The proliferation of articles also complicates the task of editors who are trying to ensure that creationism is presented in an NPOV manner. So the number of articles on creationism should be reduced, and this one seems like one of the first that can easily be dispensed with since the little material it contains that doesn't overlap other creationism articles can easily be merged with one or more of the others. --BM 14:19, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        I'm open to the idea since this ship looks like it's sinking. how do you suggest we do it? Ungtss 14:23, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        My first take on this is to move the material on antideluvian geology and dating techniques to the "Creation geology" section in Creation science, keeping the link to Flood geology as a separate article. Creation science is currently only 9K in length, so there is plenty of room for expansion. Indeed the Creation geology section of Creation science currently has a "sectstub" tag, calling for the section to be expanded; so this move would also permit that tag to be removed. --BM 16:02, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        That seems to me to be a very sound place to start. I must admit I share a lot of the concerns you raise. There does seems to be at least a strong suggestion that there's a strategy here of "add creationist POV faster than it can be taken out/NPOV'd", so it's a bit rich for said advocates to cry "NPOV foul" when the removal of POV material is supported. Nonetheless, there's no reason material on this topic shouldn't be here, provided it can be put in a NPOV context. (By which I do not mean, 'we've written our creationist POV stuff, add some POV "evolutionist" material and it'll thereby be NPOV.') Alai 18:16, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        let's put bizarre accusations of strategy to rest, shall we? this page was created to address issues unique to creation geology, and it is absolutely, without a doubt, best addressed here, because:
        
        1) it parallels other creation science pages
        
        2) putting it in creation science will make creation science ridiculously lopsided on one topic
        
        3) it doesn't do any HARM to have this page here -- it's not taking up any space that wouldn't be taken up on another page -- on the contrary, it covers unique material precisely on one topic.
        
        now of course, those who wish to suppress any ideas other than those they consider to be rational will naturally delete this without justification (or pseudojustifications, like "this isn't science!" or "it's pov!" -- if that's the way it's gonna go down, then feel free to integrate this material anywhere you see fit. but don't fool yourself into thinking you're justified. Ungtss 18:52, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Let's put the unwarranted level of hysteria to rest. I speak from experience, where I've attempted to resolve POV issues in particular articles (notably theistic realism and creation biology). These articles appear with text with no reasonable claim to be NPOV; there then follows endless edit wars and tangential debate on the talk pages, with the general effect of making removal of the POV as long-drawn-out as possible; and then much the same set of authors move on to do the same thing in another page. (Witness in the former case I'm still waiting for the restructuring you undertook to carry out, but you're still activity adding material to other pages.) I'm not suggesting this is reason per se for deletion, but it's pretty frustrating to deal with. (You'll notice I haven't even voted for the deletion of this page, so yelling "unjustified deletion!" at me is pretty, well, unjustified.) And if it's not a 'strategy' it's certainly a 'pattern of behaviour'. If these pages were really aiming at NPOV even in tone, never mind substance, would we really see such lavish use of POV neologisms like "creationary" and "evolutionist"?

Well, yes they do. The usual view is that admins will usually assign less weight to an anon. user's vote. Also important is contributions history; this user seems to have made over fifty edits before voting here. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:31, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hrm, the geat thing about WP policies (and practices) is there's so many of 'em... Someone probably needs to water down Template:Anon, then, which promises "The right to be heard in formal votes and elections, and on pages like votes for deletion", which is over-selling if they have that already. Admittedly, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion is weaker, merely saying "Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith." This could stand to be a whole lot clearer, though that's getting further from the point here. (Though I may also have been to some extent confusing anon votes with unsigned one...) Alai 17:18, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Not only that, but different admins have very different approches to how VfDs are decided: some simply count the votes, some assess the comments, and so on. All part of life's rich tapestry... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:41, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- i can't help but wonder when " pure BS" and "reads like a screed" came to be grounds for deletion. quite simply, they are not. the article is encyclopedic because it describes an extant view. whether it reads like screed or not is a function of editing, not deletion. the above provides absolutely no justification for deletion, except distaste.

Delete, disinformation. Leanne 02:51, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Administrator, I ask that in deciding whether or not to delete this page, you consider the following facts:
- absolutely none of the reasons presented for deletion qualify as justifications for deletion. On the contrary, they are reasons like "reads like a screed," "disinformation," and "Pure BS." I suggest that these votes are instances of Systemic bias, rather than legitimate and npov votes for deletion. Many people hate creationism just because it is creationism -- but that is NOT a reason to delete the page on the topic. the page is encyclopedic, and covers a geniune extant topic. the fact that it is WRONG does not justify DELETING it, as MANY ideas that are wrong appear on wikipedia. The deletion of this page would be a violation of npov in the face of systemic bias. Ungtss 14:09, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Nah. It really was a vanity article. Read the original. Rewriting such personal vanity articles to be about something entirely different and notable can be almost as satisfying as slapping a great big {{copyvio}} on top of corporate vanity articles. Moreover, you just know that if we do delete this, someone else will be along to write another Cleo vanity article sooner or later, or we'll end up with stub duplicates of Miss Cleo because someone omitted the "Miss". And this is no different in kind to Cleopatra, of course. Uncle G 10:01, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)

Keep as disambiguation page. Megan1967 01:16, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I'm sorry to be a spoil-sport, but the new article is not a proper disambiguation page. A Cleo disambiguation page is needed when there are several articles (or redirects) on different subjects that might reasonably be titled Cleo. Usually disambiguation pages are created where there is an article or redirect titled X, and someone comes along to write an article on a different topic with an equally good claim to the title X. The solution is to give the title to a disambiguation page which lists the other articles, and to give the various other articles competing for the title a longer title along the lines of X (in Y). However, that is not the case here. Few of the listed articles would properly be titled Cleo except for the magazine, which is a red-link, meaning it hasn't been created yet. Rather than a disambiguation page, the proposed new content for the Cleo article is mostly a List of people whose first name is Cleo and other things somewhat related to the word Cleo. That isn't a disambiguation page; it is just a list masquerading as a disambiguation page, in this case an especially dumb list. Furthermore, as a process point, even if it was correct to edit the original article in this way, it seems to me very questionable to do it before the VfD vote is completed. This is not the article that was originally written, or even on the topic of the original article, and at least in principle, the article that was submitted to VfD has 5 days to be considered. If it was OK to change the subject of an article submitted to VfD because it seems to an editor to be vanity, then it would be OK to let administrators simply speedy-delete such articles. However, there has never been a consensus for allowing administrators to speedy-delete articles for reasons of vanity, however obvious the vanity might seem to the administrators. People voting on VfD should either leave the articles alone until they are deleted; or else clean them up on the subject on which they were originally written. In this case, that subject is the name "Cleo" But they shouldn't switch the subject to something else, even if that is a fake disambiguation page. People can comment in the VfD vote that the title should be used for a disambiguation page, but people should wait until there is a consensus from the VfD process before they mess around with articles that are submitted here. --BM 02:07, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Examples like peter or nick, or sally, or pick your faforite name show that given-name articles do not always abide this. Mikkalai 02:24, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Of those three, only Sally is really a disambiguation page, and only two of the several entries in that list are proper entries for a disambiguation page, meaning links to articles that otherwise would be titled Sally if there weren't competition for that title. The other entries are miscellaneous Sally-cruft. Disambiguation pages should be for disambiguation. As for Peter that is really just a List of famous people named Peter masquerading as a disambiguation page, with a couple of sentences thrown in about the name. Same thing for Nick. So my opinion is that those pages are bad examples to be emulating, and arguably should be deleted. --BM 02:38, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - Quite. But these names are the first that came to my mind. Be sure that there are dosens of such. Did you try, say, er... Simon, Thomas... Mikkalai 05:46, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - Simon, ditto what I said about Peter. Thomas, ditto. These are all just lists of people with that first name masquerading as disambiguation pages. On this Simon list, there is only one article which might logically be titled Simon, and that is Simon (game). On the Thomas list, there aren't any. It seems like we have quite a few of these Lists of people with the first name X articles masquerading as disambiguation pages. --BM 18:43, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - I am not arguing with you. That's exactly what I am pointing at. Something must be done with it. Lists of people whose first name is Tom or Sam seem weird. But since there are lots of such articles, the issue must be discussed at administrative level, to have a common decidion for all such articles, rather than VfD them one by one.

- Discussion of VFD process moved to Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion. Uncle G 21:12, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
Delete. Now finally regarding my vote. I vote to delete because once the apparent vanity is cleaned up, this article's topic is a sub-stub about the name Cleo. I don't think sub-stubs are preferable to red-links. If someone cares to expand the article during the VfD (on the subject of the name Cleo), then I will reconsider my vote. --BM 01:47, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Comment It might have been helpful, at the time when the article was transformed, for someone to have provided the original text that was being voted on prior to its transformation. It sometimes can take quite a while to find and retrieve items from the history. Just in case it still is helpful, here it is. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:45, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Cleo, a female name. One of the examples who use this name is Cleo Leong. Her full name is Leong, whom she is a Risk Manangement science student living in Hong Kong.

Keep as disambiguation page. FYI i just added Cleo (television) to the list. bbx 19:06, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep as rewritten. I think name disambiguation articles are entirely valid, if some of the things or people concerned are commonly referred to by just that name. For example, someone looking for the apostle Peter might reasonably expect to find him under Peter; so might someone looking for Peter Rabbit if they didn't realise that Rabbit functions as his surname as well as his species. In addition, the history of the name can be encyclopaedic. I do think that pages like Peter should be limited to those commonly known simply as 'Peter' though; so Peter Green and Peter Jackson have no place there. On this specific case, Miss Cleo, the women's magazine, the TV series, the physicists' collaboration, and the programming language at least all look like things which people might reasonably expect to be able to look up as simply 'Cleo'.

Keep. Excuse me, but you have to do a little more than bang a few words into Google and give a cursory glane at the results! I knew nothing about him 10 minutes ago, but have already discovered that Choi Bae-Dal (745 Google hits by the way, pretty well all for him) lived from 1922-94 in Korea and Japan. His real name was Masutatsu Oyama, and he was a top proponant of martial arts techniques. "In 1950, Sosai (the founder) Mas Oyama started testing (and demonstrating) his power by fighting bulls. In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly, and 49 had their horns taken off with knife hand blows" There were famous Korean comic books written about his life some thirty years ago, and the fourth largest grossing movie in Korea last year was "Fighter in the Wind", Choi Bae-Dal's life story. TheCoffee and Wyss say he "Doesn't seem notable" and "anecdote, unverified and unencyclopedic". I don't think so, guys! Having said all this, the article is brief and poorly written, but that just makes it a stub. I could live with a (new) artcle on Masutatsu Oyama/Choi Bae-Dal with a re-direct from Knife hand, but otherwise keep this, and it will get sorted sometime. HowardB 15:42, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps Choi Bae-Dal is notable, but I don't think knife hand is article-worthy in his context. If there was a Choi Bae-Dal article, I would recommend the information here be merged there. Also, if "knife hand" is article worthy, it probably shouldn't be under that name, as the term "knife hand" is more commonly used to mean either a taekwondo block or the hand of someone using a knife. TheCoffee 20:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:12, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Comment. The plot thickens.... It appears we already have a Masutatsu Oyama article (this is Choi Bae-Dal's more usual name, it turns out). So I have put a redir from Choi Bae-Dal. Then, we have a Kyokushin article (this is a style of karate that Oyama/Choi developed -- now HUGE worldwide). In here, we have a better life of Oyama than in the main article! Also, the Masutatsu Oyama article appears to be a straight lift from Exsudo.com. So, when I have some time, I propose to:
- merge what little there is in knife hand into Masutatsu Oyama and redirect
- take the life of Oyama piece from Kyokushin and merge it into Masutatsu Oyama (and put a prominent "See also" link into Kyokushin
- fix possible copyvio problem in Masutatsu Oyama
Why do I get my self into these things! Any objections? HowardB 02:24, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is a fictional technique from the Rurouni Kenshin manga series. I don't believe it deserves its own article, and the text is not encyclopedic. It could be added to the main article, but it is really a dificult text, that tries to mimic the estereotyped writing of samurai masters, full of metaphors.

[edit] List of General Slocum victims

Delete, another useless trivial list. Megan1967 01:09, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I've added the context. Someone reading the article on the General Slocum disaster might find it interesting to have the list of names available, but it would clutter the main article. JamesMLane 16:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the necessary context. I am still inclined to vote delete because Wikipedia is not a memorial. The discussion at the main article is excellent. The list of people who died adds nothing to an encyclopedia. An alternative might be to transwiki this list to Wikisource. Yes, I realize I am suggesting an approach that is inconsistent with, for example, the list of Sep 11 victims but we have to take these nominations one at a time. Rossami (talk) 17:25, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete if delete references to 9/11 victims. lets not be temporalcentric. Just because you didnt see it on TV doesnt mean it not important --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 16:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I agree with Rossami that this should be deleted because it's a memorial. I'm not quite sure what useful purpose this list would serve. Carrp | Talk 17:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep it's not a memorial, it's a list. See for example Columbine High School massacre#Victims. Individual articles on the victims would be memorials unless they were otherwise notable. Although, I would actually find such memorial articles an interesting window into a bygone era. But at any rate, I think the list is a useful addition since a quick scan of it gives a feel for the sex, age, & ethnic distribution of the victims. Wolfman 04:00, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, but... if this is not elsewhere on line, let's find it a home (maybe Wikisource?). If it is elsewhere on line then link to that from General Slocum. I would not favor a deletion if it means that this material would not be on line anywhere. (Also, it needs a clearer citation. The name of a newspaper, without a date, is a poor citation.) -- Jmabel | Talk 06:49, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. It is either a memorial or a copy of primary source material. Either way, not encyclclopedic. I'm going to check the article with the 9/11 victim's names, and if it hasn't already been through VfD, I will submit it, by the same logic. (Further note: the list of WTC victims has been moved to a special memorial site: sep11.wikipedia.org. There are still lists of the Pentagon victims and the passengers on the planes.) --BM 19:06, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- 9/11, general slocum, and columbine victims should be treated the same. but if you don't want them here, they should be wikisourced - not deleted. Wolfman 19:42, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I don't have a problem with them being transwiki'd to Wikisource, provided we can correctly cite the source, and someone verifies the text against the source. But, by the way, what is the source for this list? --BM 22:42, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Comment: if he was a peer, wasn't he an MP by virtue of being a peer? Many peers never bothered to appear in the House. What, if anything, did he do there? If he did something in or for County Leitrim, let's hear what it was. Pace Brookie, but British titles and their history of are of no interest to me (because I'm British?) and mostly seem to be of little, if any, importance. I'll vote when I know more about him. -- Hoary 04:43, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
- He was an MP who inherited a peerage. I haven't had the time to fill out the biog yet. Dbiv 19:45, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless more can be said, if we are to be at all consistent to previous decisions on this page. I strongly disagree that all peers are notable; this chap was the SECOND Baron Harlech, i.e. a peer only because his father was, and Baron is the lowest of the orders of peerage; and will have been in parliament (though MP is always used to refer only to members of the House of Commons) only because he was a peer. If the 'average professor' and the 'average middle school' aren't notable, the average peer certainly isn't. If this chap is notable (and if, indeed, he was an MP), fine, but his reason for note needs to be mentioned and is orthogonal to his peerage.
Comment. He was an MP (House of Commons) for Sligo from 1841 to 1852, and for Leitrim from 1856 until 1876, when he succeeded his brother as 2nd Baron Harlech. His brother, who had been an MP too and a groom-in-waiting of Queen Victoria was created 1st Baron Harlech in 1876, with the special provision that his younger brother (our hero) would inherit the title in the event of no male offspring. The 2nd Baron didn't have to wait long because his brother died the same year. The 2nd Baron was also High Sheriff of County Leitrim, and Lord Lieutenant of County Merioneth. He achieved the rank of major in the 13th Light Dragoons. I don't have any information about whether he did anything notable in these posts. Some of the later Barons Harlech were quite notable. --BM 20:45, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you! I couldn't find anything on the page or in the first few Google hits explaining this. As a Major, an elected MP, a High Sherrif and a Lord Lieutenant, I believe he's notable for reasons mostly unconnected with his peerage; keep assuming that all this information will find its way into the article. I re-emphasise that I don't believe that "all peers are notable" - all a hereditary peerage is is a distinguished family, and in some cases not even that distinguished. (Should I at this point mention the non-notability of my late great-uncle Lord Hatch of Lusby just to taunt someone into making the page?) TSP 22:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - Lord Hatch of Lusby is very notable! He was one of the last peers to be told formally to shut up by the House when he continued to ask questions and refused to sit down. I think I also ran into someone who lived in the London flat he used to live in, which was in Peckham Rye. Dbiv 22:39, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - Sounds like him :-) Write about him then, you seem to know more about him than I do... (It was mostly an idle reference to the traditional "I'm a more notable [a] than he is a [b] and I'm not in Wikipedia", which I see has got one Wikipedian an entry that is currently resisting deletion - I think that pretty much all life peers probably are notable, given that it's about the highest honour the United Kingdom can award.)

Strong Keep. I cannot claim to know an awful lot about 'Eddie Boy' and the INC, but even a cursory surf of relevant pages and other Wiki entries around the topic show that a) INC is a major religious and political factor in the Philippines (it is said that in 1998 the sect helped Joseph Estrada take the largest winning margin ever in a presidential contest) and b) Eduardo Manalo is a pretty big cheese within the organisation. Admittedly the article needs some attention to make it more interesting and informative (need some Philippinos who know the intricacies of the religious-political scene to help out here). But this is definietly NOT a canidate for deletion. HowardB 15:05, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Comment. First let me say that I am not Filipino, and I have no axe to grind for Iglesia ni Cristo or Eduardo V. Manalo. In fact the religion/cult, call it what you will, is most likely a strongly negative influence in the Philippines and in other parts of the world. It wouldn't bother me if it disappeared off the face of the map. But you can't ignore the facts just because you are ignorant of the situation or the country , or don't like what you read. The fact is that Iglesia ni Cristo is a hugely influential organization (millions of adherents/members around the world, and probably the second biggest group after the Catholic Church in the Philippines). Politically, it is a king maker, and is credited by the Philippines' media of having been pivotal in getting Joseph Estrada elected as President in 1998, and (switching sides) very influential in getting President Arroyo re-elected last year (Arroyo and her honchos made a courtesy call on Eduardo V. Manalo just before INC awarded her with their support). Manalo himself clearly has a major influence in the organisation and over its millions of adherents. His grandfather founded it, his father (aged 80) runs it, and the chair is getting very warm! And several people here are saying delete this because it is "self-promotion" "not noteworthy" , "vanity", "not notable". Get real! HowardB 05:51, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete - not very helpful or encylodedic Brookie 12:00, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It's an attempt at a disambiguation page. I think that the best way to create disambiguation pages is to let them grow naturally from the conflicts that arise between articles with the same names. There's nothing wrong with creating a disambiguation page from scratch, of course, provided that one is also going to create the articles that it disambiguates amongst. Had this page just been created hours ago and with some dangling hyperlinks on it, I'd have given the page the benefit of the doubt. As it is, it has been five months and this page has seen effectively zero growth. The dangling hyperlinks that were there were never filled in. Indeed, the original article seemed to be a weak attempt to justify advertising the fourth item by masquerading as a disambiguation for the other three. They are all simply non-notable brand names as far as I can tell. There is, however, a record label "Eye Q" that appears to fulfil the Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines criteria, although I'll let others be the final judges of that. The article could be completely rewritten to be about that. Move to Eye Q if that happens. Otherwise Delete and allow Eye Q to happen

[edit] Rising crescent moon

When the Sun is high in the sky, the horns of the crescent moon always point down, and when the Sun is below the horizon, the horns always point up, so this happens every month, not every 7 to 14 months. I did some research on google, and found one bald assertion that did not give any further references, that explains what this phrase is supposed to mean. Apparently, it's supposed to mean the crescent moon with the horns pointing up and tilting neither to the left nor to the right, not even a little bit. However, it's still a poorly chosen phrase, since "rising crescent moon" already means any crescent moon at any given time when it happens to be rising! As far as I know, April Holladay invented this phrase, and even if she did not, I still think it is someone else's original research. --Eric Forste 00:16, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to lunar phase (which calls it a waning crescent moon) without adding its content to lunar phase. I agree that the title applies to any rising crescent moon, not just one that that points straight down. If the Sun is high in the sky, its glare would overwhelm any crescent moon immediately below it, so it would be unseen. If the Sun is below the horizon, the moon's horns point up only in the tropic and temperate zones — in the Arctic and Antarctic zones, both the Sun and Moon would be near the horizon, so it would again be unseen in the sun's glare (and the horns would now point left or right). — Joe Kress 20:33, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Slightly but not extremely notable as a porn star, including being featured repeatedly with the most prestigious magazine, Penthouse. Unless the community feels the use of her image in a comic or her work to save exotic animals were noteworthy enough, then I have a difficult time justifying her encyclopedic-ness. For porn stars I think we need a high criterion. Apologies for being knowledgable on this topic. Barno 01:40, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Notwithstanding the enthusiasm for these type of articles found amongst the various teen-age boys that we apparently have editing the Wikipedia and voting on VfD, posing for nude photos in a magazine or being cast in a porn film is not inherently notable. The notability bar in Wikipedia is inconsistent, and is high for some occupations and professions and lower for others. Porn star/model is one of the occupations where the bar for encyclopedic notability should be pretty high. --BM 02:24, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Why do you jerks want to delete this article? What do you have against pornstars!? personal attack from 24.238.162.225

Absolutely nothing actually. At last look, there were 174 articles in the Category:Porn stars, and you don't see them all here on VfD. That's because (although I must say I haven't looked at them all) they have something of uniqueness, or have won multiple awards, or murdered their co-star, or whatever. At least there is a bit more to say than "a porn star who lives in Florida". If it said "she is a non-porn star who lives in Florida" we'd still be voting to delete. If you have something to add to the article to make it of encyclopedic interest, please feel free to add it, and I for one would happily reconsider my vote. Otherwise, you might want to save your breath, and think about your tone of writing, which is utterly unproductive and might even be considered mildly abusive by the more sensitive of Wikipedians.

Deletion was possibly requested because the company merges into Organon (see entry). Nevertheless, the name will exist as a brand, so deletion would not be appropriate.

Keep — the two publications she's said to edit/manage seem genuine (one has a Wikipedia article created by the same person who created this one, but mention of the other was added to the Fata Morgana page by Wetman). It needs thorough rewriting, though, both in terms of its English and its style. (Incidentally, I got 506 hits on Google, including a publisher's page for a book to which she wrote the introduction, fiction magazines in which her stories have appeared, an academic journal of Chemistry of which she's an editor, etc.) The fact that the article contains irrelevancies is a reason for editing it, not for deleting it.

First: The subjects of articles don't have an automatic final say over whether articles about them are included or excluded. That road leads to all sorts of problems. Second: There is no evidence, apart from the say-so of a user with only two edits, that Queixa is in fact the subject of this article. Apply the same Wikipedia:verifiability criteria here as elsewhere. So: Treat the article on its merits. Does Arthur the Geniuses meet the Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines? A quick Amazon and Google search on that name indicates to me that the answer is very probably "No.". Delete. Uncle G 08:41, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish ethnocentrism

The previous article and title were deleted according to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jewish ethnocentrism/previous, appended below, for easy reference.

New content:

Jewish etnhocentrism is a particular case of ethnocentrism. Some authors, notably Kevin B. MacDonald in his Culture of critique, claim that Jewish ethnocentrism played a significant role in survival of Jews as distinct people.

I am posting the new version here, because a number of guys are speedily deleting the new version ignoring the policies and not responding to my concerns in this respect. I am not at all for this version. I am simply baffled with twisting my arms. See Talk:Jewish ethnocentrism Mikkalai 19:24, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

VfD succeeded, VfU failed, all this month. There is no new vote. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:53, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

The previous VfD resulted in a clear vote for deletion (explicitly discussed and rejected was the suggestion that the page be kept and turned into a redirect). A motion for undeletion was almost unanimously rejected. Mikkalai has twice recreated the page, making it a redirect, and most recently gave it its own content, with links to other pages. What he refers to as speedy deletion is in fact the deletion of his redirect code, and later of his content, and the placing of a message explaining the situation. All of this has been explained to him at length at Talk:Jewish ethnocentrism. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:31, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

False. I did not recreate the page. Please vote against the new article, rather than twist the policy towards your wants. Mikkalai 19:46, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Mikkalai is simply trying to engineer a third vote here. The title and contents were deleted according to the vote at VfD, where only two users voted to redirect, and the decision was upheld at VfU. Mikkalai is making a mockery of that entire process. SlimVirgin 19:40, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
- There cannot be such a thing as deletion of article title Or can? If yes, please quote the policy. Mikkalai 19:46, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC).
- I am trying to engineer following the policy. If you don't like my article, please vote against it. I swear, I will not attempt to "rectreate" my version (or any other). Mikkalai 19:49, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I don't know whether there's a policy. I know only that the vote was clear. People were at liberty to vote to redirect, as this was presented as an option, but only two voted in favor. You should quote the policy that allows you to distinguish between votes regarding content and votes regarding the title. Perhaps you'd do better explaining why you feel strongly about retaining it, because it seems to me that you're engaging in sophistry and acting like a vandal. SlimVirgin 19:52, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. Ignorance is not argument. What baffles me, is a series of violations of multiple policies in fighting me, see Talk:Jewish ethnocentrism. At the very beginning I stated that I was against the original artice. So I am not defending my POV. I am against doublespeak, in particular, against pretending that some words do not exist. Mikkalai 19:57, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

When people vote for deletion on VfD, they are voting on whether an article of that title should exist. In most cases, they are not voting about the current content of the article. If the content of the article is the issue, then they will typically vote Keep and Cleanup. (I admit sometimes when Cleanup would make the article a stub or sub-stub, people will vote to Delete without prejudice to the title because they believe a redlink is preferable to a sub-stub; however that was not the case in these votes.). If people want the title to exist, but think the title does not merit independent content, they will call for a Redirect, or a Merge/Redirect. Delete means "there should be no article of this title". That the article should be deleted was the overwhelming consensus of the VfD vote: that the article should be not be undeleted was the overwhelming consensus of the VfU vote The recreation of VfD-deleted article is one of the grounds for speedy deletion, by that policy. . Reinstating the article as a redirect flies in the face of this consensus and renders the votes meaningless, and those reinstatements are properly speedily-deleted. --BM 20:07, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete means "there should be no article of this title": This is your interpretation. If you believe it is correct, please suggest the policy update. "No article with this title" is way too strong, like capital punishment. Forbidding any words smacks really bad. Sorry for yuor democracy, guys. I am abandoning the issue; no more pissing against the wind. Good bye. Mikkalai 20:16, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think you've misunderstood the VfD process. It's not simply a question of 50 for, 10 against. The admin reads the comments and tries to determine from those what the community consensus is. For example, there's a vote going on regarding Conscious Evolution, which was a pile of garbage. Most people have voted to delete, but many made the comment that

Conscious Evolution was a pile of garbage, and I voted against as well. But it does not preclude writing an article that in a NPOV way explains this kind of stuff. We have plenty of articles about various kinds of snake oil and kookery. Mikkalai 20:42, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

there's nothing wrong with having an article with that title, just not this article. Therefore, an editor decided to rewrite it to make the content acceptable. But with Jewish ethnocentrism, people did not comment that rewriting or redirecting was appropriate. They voted, with no hesitation or ambiguity, to delete the whole thing. Can't you see the difference? You are splitting hairs by demanding that there be an explicit policy (i.e. instruction creep) for every single decision the community makes and that's why I'm calling you a sophist. Also, I have a question for you. Did you use your admin powers to unprotect the article even though you're involved in editing it? SlimVirgin 20:23, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Deleting the "whole thing" which exists in cicrulation is Nineteen Eighty Four.

Yes, I did. The article was protected with violation: by an article's editor. All my actions are explained at the talk page. You will say that I am splitting hairs again, b ut the protection policy speaks about protection, not unprotection. Why is it always allowable to split hairs only in one direction? Mikkalai 20:32, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You're not allowed to protect articles you're involved in editing. Also, is this a real VfD. Mel has said it isn't and that you just pasted the notice onto the page, whch is no longer there. Could you explain please? SlimVirgin 20:54, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Shortly after I pointed that out, he put the VfD through properly. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:31, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- "When people vote for deletion on VfD, they are voting on whether an article of that title should exist." Absolutely false. Votes are made for the article as it exists at the time. To claim otherwise is to allow for articles to be deleted according the results of VfDs for completely unrelated articles. The only votes for deletion that should be counted against articles of that name are votes that specifically vote for deletion based on the name and only on the name. (FTR, if there's actually going to be a vote for the new version, my vote is still delete.) -Sean Curtin 02:25, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

STOP deleting my comments! Have you done absolutely mad today? I am no longer going to debate this with you, as you are behaving like a vandal, wilfully refusing to understand what anyone says to you, deleting my comments, pasting pretend delete notices on articles, abusing your admin powers to unprotect articles, and creating material that's on the list not to be recreated. Enough already. Goodbye. SlimVirgin 21:01, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Cool down. I am NOT deleting your comments. I was never put on record as vandal. If this happens, then this is a problem of wikipedia software. Mikkalai 21:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This is, and was, already resolved. Although racist ideas and racist individuals are freely discussed in an open society, neither this idea nor this crackpot are worthy of anything close to an encyclopedia article - and certainly not one with this title. Delete Again. -- RyanFreisling @ 02:07, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

After compiling together the logs, it appears that there has been some disagreement over Mikkalai's decision to make the article a redirect, his decision to create new content, and administrators deleting said redirects and new content without a VFD process or a RFD process. -- AllyUnion (talk) 21:04, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ron Larson

The page Ron Larson contains information about the professor with that name, who wrote a textbook, called "Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions". While that is a good book, and is referred to in Wikipedia, I doubt the article about the author itself has any value.

More, in the derivative article, the citation of that book has the following form:

Larson, Ron, Hostetler, Robert P. and Edwards, Bruce H. (2003). Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions (3rd Edition). Houghton Mifflin Company. ISBN 061822307X textbook site online

Those red links seem to be reduntant, and most likely will never be filled. Besides, all this smells of self-promotion to me, because of the link to the place where the book can be bought.

Some of us think the Ron Larson article needs to be deleted. Any opinions? Oleg Alexandrov 20:58, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

delete. Authors of bestselling novels probably should get an article. But it seems to me that authors of technical books, textbooks, and other academic treatises should not get an article unless they are otherwise notable.

I would also like to see Henrygb blocked. This article fits wikipedia because there can be encyclopedic joke knowledge. This knowledge can be thought of in the same way as knowledge about Persia or Abstract Algebra. If this article is deleted then it is showing a sub-legal process to destroy information that might be helpful in thought, but has supposed deviance determined by a non-select group of wikiholics. The changing of votes can be thought of as the same way. There have been two of us who have had votes on us changed. This is unfair, we still have a say. If the opposition did not have a say, we would not have "Votes for Deletion". --24.93.213.84 02:18, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  - Upholding Keep

(1) Delete this article as completely and utterly unencyclopedic.

First off, this provides no reason. You are just saying it does not belong on Wikipedia through no argument. It is not a point. Also, encyclopedia is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as "Embracing many subjects; comprehensive." By embracing many subjects, it means none are excluded. Thus, by this definition, argument (1) is proven false.

(2) Nobody has ever been blocked just for nominating an article on VfD. There are no restrictions on what can and cannot be nominated here.

My votes have been changed, you are assuming things that aren't true. Also, this is completely irrelevant to the arguments and voting

(3) Calling people who frequent Wikipedia retards (as in your link) is flaming, which is not tolerated here.

Aside from being completely irrelevant, you should enjoy some humor in a conflicting situations. Americans make fun of themselves as stereotypes, so do some Wikiholics or Wikipedians. Even Helen Keller did. Also, this is not vandalism or "flaming," as you call it. In here we can make points and the points are even better if they are right or can't be disproven. Also, to use this as an argument is Argumentum ad Hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

(4) A "sub-legal" process? Filtering the information in our articles is perfectly legal; there are no laws prohibiting us from doing with our website what we want, and we choose to include and exclude information based on what we collectively deem worthy to be in an encyclopedia. This process allows us to build an informative resource without being flooded with inane contributions that have no place in a work of reference (like this).

Please note that referring to forensic or legal does not imply anything about American law. I was talking about a process, in the place of conflict, which is used to destroy information while upholding certain integrities and rules, which make a legal process. This is a partition in this legal process. Also, by the earlier definition of encyclopedic, this work is encyclopedic. Would you like me to look up informative to give you an idea of what it means? This article gives information, to Wikipedians. By your logic, I chose to include the article because it is based on what some deem to be worthy to be in an encyclopedia. Your logic is faulty, proving me right No hard feelings? --24.93.213.84 23:11, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- I'm really not going to nit-pick this issue since in the end, all the votes that count (yours doesn't count because you have not registered an account) have been to delete, and there is no way this article is being kept. For the record, no reason has to be given why something is unencyclopedic for a vote to count. It seems pretty obviously not appropriate for a reference work according to everyone else so I don't really feel the need to explain myself. Just because something counts as information doesn't mean it belongs in an encyclopedia. Someone on here (I don't remember who exactly) once made the analogy of Wikipedia as an organism: we must take in food (information) and build the useful parts of that food into the bulk of the organism while excreting that which doesn't contribute to the overall health of the organism. In our case, this means deleting that information which doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. We get a lot of articles which are clearly factual in nature but the subject matter is not notable enough or appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia. This is not just some collection of every piece of information we can possibly find. No hard feelings, but I won't continue to debate this issue any further as VfD is cluttered up as it is and none of this is going to change the fate of the article. — Ливай | ☺ 01:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    - Where does it say that? All people that know how to edit and use Wikipedia should be given "voting rights".

      - Comment: Because of serious problems in the past with people attempting to use sockpuppets to "stuff the ballot box", we have established a fairly firm rule on this page that the votes of anonymous users and very new users are subject to steep discounting by the admin who finally makes the decision. However, any facts you can add to the discussion are welcome and will be considered by the community. To whoever has been blanking the anonymous votes, PLEASE STOP. Trust that the deciding admin will investigate them and weight them appropriately. Marking suspicious votes is a courtesy but erasing comments just confuses the discussion thread and incites unnecessary confrontation. To the anon who was tampering with other people's votes, stop that too. What you did is immediately obvious to anyone reviewing the edit history. It seriously prejudices the case against you. Rossami (talk) 03:36, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      - Allowing anonymous users to vote would create a few problems: firstly, an IP address does not identify a user uniquely -- some people's ISP does not give them the same IP every time they log onto the Internet, for example. Or a logged-in user could log out and get a second vote signed with their IP. Or somebody could vote five times at five of their friends' houses. Getting an account only takes a minute and is free. You don't even need to give out your name or email or anything, so in theory everybody is equally entitled to a vote, although it helps a lot to have a history of helpful contributions attributed to your account. While not strictly necessary, it lets people know you're not a sock puppet, plus it helps to have experience in Wikipedia community so you get a good feel for what is and isn't encyclopedic before voting on Votes for Deletion. — Ливай | ☺ 00:24, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        
        Ливай, please read Rossami's very considered statement (scroll down a bit) of what VfD is about. Anonymous users are explicitly allowed to participate in the discussion, and it is the discussion that is the point, not the votes. If the anonymous votes are suspicious, it is the admin's job to not consider them.

Delete the article. Not notable enough for a whole article. Wikipedia is not a jokebook. However, this was a real category of joke that experienced a vogue circa, um, (counting on figures... age of kids... grade they were in when they came home with these kneeslappers...) the mid-1980s. Or maybe it's long been popular among fifth-graders. When I was in junior high school there was a fad for what were called "sick jokes" of this kind; I don't remember a Helen Keller subcategory but it probably evolved over time. I would love to think that all the delete votes are because these jokes have gone out of style and are no longer familiar. Do we have an article tracing the rise and fall of categories of jokes? We should, and this category should be mentioned. Do people still tell "elephant jokes?" (Q: How do you put six elephants in a Volkswagen? A. Three in front, three in back. Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill? A: "Here come the elephants over the hill.") Dpbsmith (talk) 01:50, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete — no potential to become encyclopedic, and Wikipedia is not a jokebook. However, as I understand it, anonymous users do have the right to vote; no one should be removing their votes. If the user has done something questionable or not signed the vote, one may add a comment; or, if the user has added irrelevant material, like complex voting schemes, one may ~~strike~~ the extra material—but it should normally not be removed. Administrators traditionally give little importance to anonymous votes due to the problems mentioned above, but anonymous users still have a voice here. — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 05:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio. Text copied from everything2. Lan3y - Talk 23:06, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. If it's a copyvio, list it as a copyvio. Spinboy 23:16, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I updated the listing. Thanks. Lan3y - Talk 23:31, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Geek Stink Breath

This is not an encyclopaedia article. --Neigel von Teighen 23:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Sure it is. Rhobite 23:32, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ Redirect to Insomniac (album). We don't have stubs on every single song by every single artist. Is this song notable for some other reason? — Asbestos | Talk 23:35, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- We should. Rhobite 23:37, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
  - No reason not to--The_stuart 21:59, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    - ... for singles. As this was successful on the singles chart, it is reasonable to say it has notability separate from the album which it also featured on. Keep. TSP 15:31, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
(note: fixed up a bit since nomination) Keep or merge with Insomniac (album), and it would be great to have articles on every hit single and otherwise popular song Kappa 23:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, non notable song. Megan1967 00:03, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep. #16 on the British charts scrapes in IMO. Andrewa 00:08, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, the band is encyclopedic, the song is not. Wyss 00:40, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Question for delete voters: What would be wrong with merging this content with the album page? Kappa 06:54, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Merge to album page. Nateji77 14:03, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. There is enough info here to stand alone. If not kept, should be merged with Insomnia Capitalistroadster 15:46, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
STRONG KEEP This is just as article worthy as any other song with an article. The song, while not reaching high on the charts, has become a radio standard on many "alternative" radio stations. --The_stuart 21:58, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep, fits in with all the other song articles. Xezbeth 22:10, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Methinks this should go under WikiProject Albums if the song was released as a single. Or merge with the album that it was released in. --Andylkl 07:03, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and expand. From what I understand, if the article is a substub, then it gets redirected to the album, but in this case, it's not. --Viriditas | Talk 21:28, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yahf

WPIN a web guide. Wolfman 23:21, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

delete. Mikkalai 23:28, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No evidence of notability. This would once have been a speedy, but we seem to interpret the rules a bit more strictly these days. Andrewa 00:04, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete, it could be a speedy, it's a platform for a link. Wyss 00:44, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stranger in Us All

I haven't the faintest clue what this article is on about. Possible some of it could be salvaged and merged into Ritchie Blackmore, but I have no idea what. — Asbestos | Talk 23:22, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have CSD'ed. It's unacceptable. --Neigel von Teighen 23:25, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete, trivial, article does not establish notability. Megan1967 23:46, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. Any album by Blackmore is notable. Andrewa 00:02, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete the tale of ranting geezers. Wyss 00:43, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. The formatting on this is definitely not wikipedia (I'm not sure it's worth trying ot fix). A lot of it is opinion, making this an essay. I'd say merge to Ritchie Blackmore (which could use the addition) if anyone is willing to do the work of reading this article. RJFJR 01:34, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
Always ... always ... always check for copyright infringement first, before listing on VFD, especially if the article has at the bottom a hyperlink to the web site where the original article was published, as this one did. Listed at WP:CP. Uncle G 08:23, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding that. To be fair, I had assumed copyright, but copying-and-pasting the text into Google still finds nothing. The epinions text must not be searched, or something. The link at the bottom of the page wasn't the page the review is directly from either. Anyway, should have looked harder. — Asbestos | Talk 17:55, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
