[edit] Magical Sailor Fuku

Web site ad, Alexa rank 443,731. —Stormie 00:09, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I may be a member of this site, but I know vanity/web-site-ads when I see them. (Incidentally, I was just about ready to do then when you put it up) —Pipian 00:17, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cassandra Latham

Unnotable vanity. -- 81.152.170.19 00:33, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Bizarre but notable if it's true. Or, maybe not. (I wonder who the first person to put down "Jedi" was - don't you?) Actually, it might not be notable who's the first, but just how many people do it. LockeShocke 00:37, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. As LockeShocke says, it's notable. And it's not vanity unless Cassandra was the author. Bryan 02:05, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's helpful. Wyss 02:25, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, borderline notability Megan1967 03:58, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: Quite a few Google hits. DCEdwards1966 04:14, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Obviously notable. --Centauri 04:17, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are enough google hits to convince me it's real (at least for small values of real). It's certainly intriguing, and I don't see any obvious proof that it's vanity. Falls somewhere between "Earth-shattering importance" and "mindless trivia". RoySmith 04:25, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Jmabel | Talk 06:46, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • As the author of the article in question I obviously have a bias and am going to say keep. As an acquaintance of Cassandra herself I can vouch for the fact that she is (still) the only witch in the UK who relies on her craft as her sole source of income and that she was the first witch in the UK to register her profession with the inland revenue; I can think of at least two others who have since followed suit. Whether as an acquaintance of Cassandra's, writing an article about her is considered vanity is up for debate; I wrote it in a rare mad moment. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 11:26, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • weak keep ~ mlk ✉♬ 05:21, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC) ~

[edit] Dustin ruttenberg

  • Looks like a poorly written attempt at a 14-year-old's vanity page to me. -- John Owens (talk) 00:56, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
  • I love reading these. He's not just talented, he's "juliard talented"! Delightful. Anyway, delete. -RidG (talk) 02:32, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • What is the psychological mechanism that results in so many of these vanity pages having un-capitalized surnames? Anyway Delete this pimple puff vanity about some kid who's been in some plays at his school. Wyss 02:21, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • I imagine it's because they enter their name into the search box in lower case (pimple puffers just LOVE to avoid capitalization), and then the "create an article with this title" link on the search page capitalizes the first letter as is our standard here. Anyway, delete and pop the pimple. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:10, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Because in the age of the internet, everyone thinks they're e.e. cummings. Anyway, delete this vanity. Shane King 04:26, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
      • Cummings actually capitalised his name, why our article on him is all lower case because of one cover design puzzles me; I'll raise this on the talk page right away. --fvw* 17:59, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)

[edit] Airwolf (game)

This article contains even less information than is in Airwolf and I'm not sure there is much potential for expansion. It is potentially a redirect candidate, but who's going to type in Airwolf (game)? David Johnson [T|C] 01:09, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete it as a fork. Wyss 02:19, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and create a trivia item in the Airwolf article mentioning the game, assuming the game actually exists. There's not a lot of info in this sub-stub, and the "8 weeks" comment seems almost to be POV. 23skidoo 02:22, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Karl Levi

  • He might or might not be significant, but this is definitely a non-article. I'm not even sure if "in it's (sic) early stages" refers to the article itself or the German Communist Party. -- John Owens (talk) 01:15, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete on account of incorrect usage of it's (little or no content, no context, this is not an article). Wyss 02:16, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Megan1967 04:04, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Judging by Communist Party of Germany, probably a notable person, but this substub says less than is there. Delete unless someone wants to at least make this a decent bio-stub. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:48, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aklabs

Looks very much like advertising. The company gets <1000 Google hits, many of which seem to be domains or subdomains belonging to the company. David Johnson [T|C] 01:22, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Matt oakes

Vanity, with a large hanging schlong and the face of an angel, no less. Pimpin, cool, asstastic, probably too long to speedy (is it?), utterly deletable. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 00:55, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • I called it a #4 and deleted it. Its content was "1(n): A local hero with a large hanging schlong and a face of an angel. Known to be the coolest creation sent down by God himself on Gumdrop bubbles and peppermint smiles. 2: To be Matt Oakes: pimpin, cool, asstastic 3: To be skantastic and glorious 4: An original member of the Fisherman's Guild along with Ryan Gross and Alex Johnson. 5: Plain cool" and its sole author was 66.63.111.138. —Charles P. (Mirv) 01:05, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Senile (band)

Probably band vanity; their website [1] gives no evidence of notability (or album release), and allmusicguide doesn't know they exist. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 01:05, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 04:07, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gundam Models

  • It doesn't appear to be encyclopedic material. Currently is a dictdef not needing to be defined. 132.205.15.43 02:16, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, in need of major expansion. Megan1967 04:09, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "{X} Models are models of {X}", yeah, right. Hoary 08:35, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)

[edit] Chaimi Pitaimy

This is nonsense. I don't know if it is patent or not. DCEdwards1966 02:06, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, un-encyclopaedic, possible hoax. Megan1967 04:11, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. However, I notice that there is no article for minor characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm going to merge and redirect in the hope that it will inspire some consolidation of other minor characters into a list. Rossami (talk) 07:32, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tucker Wells

I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer but this is beyond the acceptable level of detail. DCEdwards1966 02:15, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • This is apparently a single-episode character. Merge into Buffy the Vampire Slayer plot summary for now; there currently is no separate article for this episode. There really should be an article on Brad/Caleb Kane, but that's a separate thing. iMeowbot~Mw 03:13, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Why would someone summon demonic dogs to attack a prom? There are questions to be answered. Well, I say keep it until/unless an episode article is created, then move/merge. Everyking 06:54, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • It was the same old tired plot device, he couldn't get a date, so nobody was going to have a prom, muahahaha, all that. A plethora of free episode guides explain this in excruciating detail. iMeowbot~Mw 10:31, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • So he couldn't get a date, and apparently he trained hellhounds to hate things associated with proms by having them watch videos of some sort. Well, how did he summon hellhounds in the first place? This stuff should all be in the article. Everyking 10:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • The most complete summaries listed above were found by referring to the first two external links listed in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so Wikipedia is already covering this ground. Fan reviews show that this was added "Almost as a side issue," "a random subplot that really doesn't affect the main story," "didn't do much for me" -- certainly nothing that calls for a separate article. Even fans regard it as cruft. iMeowbot~Mw 11:18, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as nonnotable fancruft. One bland part of one episode does not a full article make. Not worth the redirect either. DreamGuy 22:12, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete after some thought. If someone does choose to write episode articles, all the information in this article can be obtained by watching the show, which writing such an article would require. iMeowbot~Mw 11:44, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:45, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. His brother, Andrew Wells, is a fairly important character, and is often referred to as "Tucker's brother." The page might help someone who had heard that reference but not seen "The Prom." Secretcurse 02:10, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nonnotable fancruft. Indrian 04:02, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] LexiconRPG

non-notable game DCEdwards1966 02:43, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • KEEP. I have posted my rebuttal to various allegations on the discussion sub-page. --BenWilson 04:08, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia isn't the place to gain press for your game. DCEdwards1966 04:36, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    Not my game, see rebuttal. --BenWilson 19:04, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a well-written article, about what appears to be a real game, in a genre I've never even heard of before. I'm curious, what about this article made you think it should be deleted? I suppose it's possible vanity as suggested above, but surely not "non-notable" RoySmith 04:39, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, utterly non-notable. If someday it becomes notable, someone else will make the article for you. —Korath (Talk) 04:49, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a unique way of developing roleplaying environments, a sort of a metagame. It's an interesting approach, and certainly isn't an advertisement or an attempt at gaining press. There are certainly other entries that one could claim that for far more than this. (AaronClausen) 5:41, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    Supposed "User: AaronClauser" is really anon User:64.141.6.8 . Please don't try to game the voting. RickK 05:50, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    You're not insinuating that's me, are you? If so, you are mistaken. My IP is 68.51.35.56. If you check the LexiconRPG history page, you'll see where I made an edit earlier today and had been logged out. BenWilson 06:01, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • "The Lexicon RPG is still a novel concept, so there aren't many games out there". Delete until they're notable. RickK 05:48, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Not notable. And could we take the longwinded comments to a talk page or below the vote or something? --fvw* 18:12, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
    (Moved verbosity)--BenWilson 19:04, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    Thanks. --fvw* 23:40, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
  • Keep, It doesn't adequately fall within the deletion criteria. It's a good game. User:Joyce
    Supposed "User: Joyce" is anon User:128.221.197.129. —Korath (Talk) 21:00, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • (Does that diminish the person's vote? Because, i'm sure not in the 128.*.*.* Domain.)--BenWilson 23:14, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes, it does. First of all faking a signature shows the vote wasn't made in good faith, and secondly anonymous editors cannot vote. --fvw* 23:40, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
    • Out of curiosity, where are the rules for voting listed?
      • See here for a recent debate. Rossami summed it up quite nicely at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Mr. Pants: "New users should be aware that votes by anonymous and very new accounts are generally very steeply discounted during these discussions. We have had significant problems in the past with abuse of the voting process and attempts to bias the outcome by users creating sockpuppets. Hard facts which add to the discussion are appreciated. Opinions and qualitative judgments are likely to be ignored." —Korath (Talk) 05:21, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
        • Unfortunately we've also had a great deal of trouble with open proxies. An IP test isn't very meaningful when lists of literally hundreds are easily available. Dyanmic IPs are problematic also, though less so. Furthermore, it takes a developer to check the IP of a logged-in user, and the time they have to spend on non-development tasks is very, very limited. —Korath (Talk) 12:27, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
        • Not wanting to drag this into a long technical discussion (I also truncated my earlier comment). However, since wikipedia uses PHP, you should know that a PHP variable holds the IP of the visitor. That's how the site knows your IP when you're not logged in. Therefore, it would be easy to include both user ID and IP in the history. That would at least mitigate the "unable to get IP" issue. As for Dynamic IP, at least the different IPs would be w/n the same domain. But, while CommieCast has dynamic IPs, I've had the same IP for the past 21 months. Can't say much about "open proxies." At least this is educational.

Minor point. I had somebody privately inform me that it is more commonly called "Lexicon Game" as opposed to Lexicon RPG. When googling on that criteria, there are more accurate hits. Also, I have been told that googling "Lexicon Neel" is also an effective way of finding Lexicon pages. So, earlier assessments from a google on variations of Lexicon RPG are a bit skewed. Perhaps, also, this should be recategorized from RPG to games, or maybe wiki-games? --BenWilson 04:19, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

Please note that Ben Wilson has now created LexiconGame, a fork of this article, which I have listed for VfD below. RickK 23:40, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

I did so only because that is a more appropriate name than LexiconRPG, as I have been told by several people. Not to circumvent the process. If this page had been deleted, I would have moved for that one to be immediately deleted as well. ----~

[edit] STing

admitted neologism DCEdwards1966 02:48, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • This term is reeeeeasonably widely used among gamers--White Wolf gamers, at any rate, or gamers talking about White Wolf games. I'd say it's used less often than "GMing" or "DMing," both of which have articles, but that that's a tricky line to draw. But, you know, that said . . . these three articles all need cleanup, writingwise. And there's quite a long article at Game_Master already, plus stuff at Dungeon_Master and Storyteller_System. So I think I've talked myself around to weak delete, with the additional trickiness that GMing and DMing might need to be nominated as well and the DMing link at DM might accordingly need to be removed.

The result of the debate was ambiguous. While some of the votes were clear, they appear to be based on conflicting facts which did not get a great deal of discussion.

Based on my own research, I note that Cataclysm is already mentioned (in almost this same level of detail) in the main Bob and George article. There does not appear to be any significant content to merge. I do not see this as a particularly useful redirect. My personal conclusion is that delete is the simplest and cleanest solution for this article. Counting my own vote, that gets 3 delete, 1 merge and one no vote. Rossami (talk) 04:21, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cataclysm (Bob and george)

huh? Fancruft, I think? DCEdwards1966 03:51, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Evans (Harry Potter)

This "character" is a name who is mentioned once in the entire Harry Potter series, and who J. K.

I can't see how this article offers anything even mildly important for any person to know, ever. Delete. - Vague | Rant 04:00, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

Abstain. Would liked to see this information merged/redirected. Neutralitytalk 04:22, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
Let's go for a merge and redirect first, but if it hasn't got anyplace to go, delete. PMC 04:24, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No relevance at all. Just fans would speculate about this character. If it was a more relevant character, it should be merged with a general minor character article. — Kieff | Talk 04:26, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Why is it on some article about Potter's relatives now? It plainly says he isn't a relative, so that's absurd. Either find somewhere more appropriate to merge it or keep it, or maybe even delete it, but definitely don't put it on the "relatives" page. Everyking 06:44, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge; this character is mentioned in the article about the sixth Harry Potter Book, and there it was speculated that he could be a relative Lectonar 08:39, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Extremely minor character who was mentioned in book 5 (IIRC) which fans thought to be important because he accidentally shared his last name with Harry's mother. I'm kinda torn on the issue, he had a major impact on fan speculation which is kind of important, but I think it's better served as a section in the related book. Merge. Mgm|(talk) 13:08, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Happy with the current redirect, but to add some evidence. All the Harry Potter Lexicon wrote on the subject was: "Evans, Mark

Child who lives near Privet Drive. Dudley beat him up on 31 July 1995 (OP1) for "cheeking him." At that time, Mark was ten years old. Despite having the same last name as Harry's mother, Mark is nothing more than a "walk-on" character, according to Rowling. (JKR)". Mgm|(talk) 13:44, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wogans

Reasons:

  1. Unverifiable.
  2. Not notable.
  3. Seems to be fantasy nonsense. Article begins: "Wogans are small human-like creatures which possess mystical powers." If it's D&D or other fantasy, the article should at very least say as much. Although given "Their name originates from a long line of Wogan's, one being the wellknown and adored TV and Radio presenter Terry Wogan. This Wogan chooses to remain decloaked despite his abominable monstronsity." it is hard to see how this is so.

Although well written it's probably non-factually based.

The result of the debate was no consensus to delete. That said, there is not a consensus to keep the article in its current form, either. I have deleted Joeflynn as a nonsensical title, because the article has been moved to Parallel Path. I have tagged Parallel Path to be merged into Perpetual motion, so the editors there may be able to help provide some context. Joyous 00:09, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Joeflynn

article moved to Parallel Path

Original research at best; a hoax at worst. The contributor's only other contribution is PODcore. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 13:28, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This 'hoax,' is presently under study at one of America's top 3 engineering schools, who take it very seriously indeed. It is under license to several top American multinational corporations. The patent office has approved the claims, based upon an experimental demonstration. The only claim made, is that one can move magnetic flux from one side of a core, to the other, based upon pulsing coils. If that is untrue, then all of physics must be wrong, as presently understood. Something I find rather unlikely ...pigs should fly indeed. Furthermore, this technology has found significant international recognition through publication in Nexus magazine, translated into several languages, and internationally distributed, which resulted in several academic enquiries for further information, which were fulfilled. This is not my only contribution, I have edited several other articles, adding significant content in the IT section to existing stub pages, such as nforce, nforce 2, soundstorm, ATI, Nvidia, and others, before I formally registered. The request for deletion is wholly uninformed comment, apparently based upon raw emotion of some sort. This is exciting leading edge commercial technology, that in the years to come will become an important part of magnetic engineering. The text is both conservative, to the point, and non commercial in presentation, as is required. Why should knowledge of this exciting technology be suppressed, when a public domain article has been freely offered? What is so controversial, about the idea you can pulse a coil, and move a magnetic field around a core. I fail to see it.
  • Delete First there's the title "Joeflynn" which seems to be the name of the inventor (and I assume the author of the article) and not the invention. If nothing else the article should be renamed. I don't get any hits on Google for a "Joeflynn" other than a person. Second, the links in the article are only lead to a few very obscure web publications. If it is under study at certain engineering schools it might become notable after they announce their findings. --LeeHunter 17:25, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There is talk of a peer reviewed article, I know some drafts have already been drawn up, but it always takes time to submit, review, etc. So what you are saying, is that until this gets in the peer reviewed literature, Wiki can't run it? Seems harsh. You could rename it 'parallelpath.' Thats the technology name. The patent is a form of official recognition. I dispute the fact Nexus magazine is an obsure web publication. It is distributed in paper form, on 4 continents, in several different languages, with sales in tens of thousands, and a much wider overall readership. So I would disagree with the wording 'obscure' and 'web.'

What I'm saying is that it may or may not be a brilliant idea but that's not the issue. Even if it is a great invention it doesn't become notable (i.e. encyclopedic) until it has an impact on the world. For example, people start building and using the invention or it becomes a concept which is widely discussed (at least within engineering circles). When that happens the article could be resubmitted and will be favorably received. --LeeHunter 19:34, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep Wonderful. Its a valid commercial technology, under license to multinational corporations. Its under academic study at top American universities, and indeed internationally. It has been accepted for publication internationally TWICE already, authored by someone with a genuine postgrad qualification from one of England's top 5 universities. And a formal peer review article is (I'm told) presently under active discussion. Given how many questionable articles go unchallenged in Wiki, I'm amazed there has to be so much grief about this. Timharwoodx 13:00, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. By itself the article is now a few dry diagrams and a little text. I am afraid that it may grow to include unproven claims. Of the three links, two are pay sites so I didn't read the actual articles. But the article titles that I could see included stuff like Area 51, Urine Therapy, and theoretical miraculous energy systems - all low-verifiability. The official website has page labelled "Prototype Test Data" which says "Contents will be added to this page by 8-1-2001, Please check back with us!" Yeah, sure thing. Once this invention has become proven/practical/otherwise notable we can put an article in. There's no need for a page on every patent looking for financial backing. (For an article on the other side of the razor, barely, see quasiturbine). But hey, good luck to the inventors! I hope it works. Cheers, -Willmcw 07:19, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PODcore

I could find no references to this outside Wikipedia mirrors. The contributor's only other contribution is Joeflynn. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 13:37, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I have made many contributions to the Wiki, most especially in the IT section, including filling out the stubs for nForce, nForce2, ATI, Soundstorm, Nvidia, and others. I was moved to finally register, simply out of the need to upload images for this article. The POD core is a widely replicated flux experiment, that showcases some genuinely interesting physics. An internet discussion group ran based upon it for some time, but without further funding I can not pursue the research, and simply wish it to be made available as common knowledge. The CD motor and POD cores have both been referenced in the internationally distributed Nexus magazine – so once again, the request for deletion makes false and uninformed comment. And finally, this Egroup is a continuation of this innovative research. In sum, I must question the motives and impartiality of Susvolan, and feel there may be a personal agenda of some sort, because he repeatedly makes demonstrataby false comments about my articles. I am happy for these two links to be added to the article, along with a reference for Nexus magazine, if the condition of Wiki entry, is that you must have been published elswhere previously - in this case, this condition has clearly been met.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JMPulseCharger/ http://www.theverylastpageoftheinternet.com/otherdevices/Cour/a_new_pulse_battery_charger.htm

  • Ohhhh, I recognize this stuff. That's an Adams motor, and you've been experimenting with overunity. If this hangs around, it really needs some NPOV work to bring it in line with perpetual motion and Simple Magnetic Overunity Toy. iMeowbot~Mw 16:37, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Fine. If it needs some sort of edit to bring it 'in line,' then do it. But you can not say it does not work, as JM has taken the technology to a viable commercial product, as now referenced at the bottom of the page, in an edit I made 5 minutes ago, whose performance exceeds that of many conventional charge controllers. It has also been previously published in other forums, on the internet, and in hard copy. If it requires some form of 'perpetual motion tag,' as you see it, then just add it. But if SMOT can be kept in Wiki as a valid entry, I fail to see why a viable commercial grade technology should be deleted. And, may I point out, the article does *NOT* directly claim perpetual motion. It is a valid piece of research, widely replicated in JM's Egroup, and one I ran before that. Why not join the Egroup, and decide for yourself?

  • Delete unless contributor provides a citation to an article about this in a peer-reviewed print journal, and the existence of the article can be verified before expiration of VfD comment period. The contributor says "without further funding I can not pursue the research, and simply wish it to be made available as common knowledge." Absent a print journal reference, that makes it deletable as "original research." Dpbsmith (talk) 17:30, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research. "NEXUS is an international bi-monthly alternative news magazine, covering the fields of: Health Alternatives; Suppressed Science; Earth's Ancient Past; UFOs & the Unexplained; and Government Cover-Ups." That's not even claiming to be a journal. iMeowbot~Mw 17:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Its a write up of how a commercial patented technology was derived, one widely replicated, that shows a higher efficiency than existing technology. You take a comment not made in the article, to judge it. I was unaware the Wiki was not allowed to document the development of viable real world commercial technology, and I don't know the rules as well as you guys. I find it bizarre, that the SMOT toy is allowed to stand, yet this comes in for a hard time. May I kindly request, the SMOT article be deleted, as that has no peer reviewed scientific reference of which I am aware, either, and is most definitely "original research". I simply think you have a responsibility to apply editorial standards equally to all articles. Thats all. If you do that, then there can be no complaint. If editorial policy is variable - well, it just looks bad. Thanks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Magnetic_Overunity_Toy

I insist that page is deleted as well. It is "original research" with no peer review of any form.

You don't need to "insist." Help make our editorial policy more consistent. If you think Simple Magnetic Overunity Toy should be deleted, nominate it for VfD. Follow the directions at the bottom of the page here. Don't complain that it hasn't been nominated yet: nominate it. That will force a review. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:27, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Well, I'll wait and see. I based my submission upon what was already in the Wiki. If my page gets deleted, I will look for any other non peer reviewed "original research" pages, and ask they be deleted as well. If I see some technology, with no peer review reference at the bottom, I'll nominate it. This could create quite a long list of deletions, and a large loss of content potentially, but rules are rules, I guess. The important thing is that the Wiki is consistent in what it allows. As long as that is the case, there can be no complaint. But clearly, a long list of other misguided content exists, but for some reason, someone decided to pick on mine, and ignore a lot of the other stuff like SMOT. Even I think SMOT is junk.
You should have based your submission on Wikipedia policy, such as Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, rather than on "what was already in the Wiki." Saying that your article should be kept because in your opinion there are already worse articles in Wikipedia is like complaining to a cop that you shouldn't be ticketed for going 75 mph because there were other drivers going faster. Is he going to slap his forehead with the heel of his palm and say "Duh! I never thought of that. I'm tearing up the ticket. Have a nice day?" Dpbsmith (talk) 20:07, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The Abu Ghraib page is not a policy. IMHO it shouldn't exist. I suppose I haven't invested the time and effort to fight it because its existence isn't as offensively POV as in clitoris. POV, but of the view that viewing torture, murder, and dead corpses is something people might not want to see. It's the same thing, but I personally find the view that people will be offended/disgusted/scarred by an actual depiction of the female form much, much more offensive. So my view stands, but perhaps one should substitute "endorsement of POV" with "precedent." Timbo 01:29, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Pursuant to above, there's a telling comment in Talk:Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse (censored). User:Rossami, the admin in charge of the previous VfD on said page comments: "You raise a disturbing point about the discussion for Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Clitoris (censored). The decision for this page was 'no clear consensus to delete', not 'clear consensus to keep'. This decision should not be used as precedent in other decisions. That article should be evaluated on its own merits." Timbo 04:09, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as invalid fork. Real encyclopedias don't censor themselves because some fundies don't like pictures of the human body. Perhaps they need their own nice clean white wiki. - Keith D. Tyler [flame] 19:59, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
    Wikipedia already censors itself. No images of pornography on pornography page, link on Autofellatio page, link on Nick Berg page, warning at top of Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse page, etc. Samboy 23:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    Nonsense. As far as I can tell pornography doesn't contain any pornography due to copyright issues, rather than any kind of censorship. It has been discussed, but there's been no major feeling either way. David Johnson [T|C] 00:58, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Ba-leet. There are 442525 articles in the Wikipedia where you can't see a clitoris, there should be one where you can (and if we ever get a better picture the nominal one will be it). (NB: this goes also for beheadings, in case anyone's sophistry knee is jerking towards call him a hypocrite in their weejee board.) Blair P. Houghton 23:54, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. The only difference is that in this article, it doesn't show you a picture of a clitoris? Well, that seems fine to me; I think it's perfectly reasonable to have secondary versions of articles that censor sexual or violent imagery. So keep. I'm no prude myself, but I want people to be comfortable using our articles in schools, and for parents to be comfortable having their children read them. Everyking 00:33, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. This is an encyclopedia. I refuse to believe that anyone viewing the Clitoris article is going to be unprepared for its content. Perhaps we could do with a template to warn about such content in articles, but having seperate censored articles is silly. David Johnson [T|C] 00:58, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Very strong DELETE. This sets an extremely bad precedent, suggesting that it is OK for people with non-mainstream views or unique agendas to create their own sanitised alternative articles instead of accepting the prevailing community consensus. --Centauri 01:30, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Hey Centauri, what happened to your stirring arguments of keeping every minute detail for prosperity on Wikipedia? If you want this deleted but the others kept, there is a lack of consistency in your arguments. I agree however that this should be Deleted on the grounds of it being a fork. Megan1967 02:37, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • There's obviously a big difference between deleting valuable content which otherwise wouldn't exist at all on Wikipedia, and deleting a redundant sanitized version of an already existing unsanitized article.--Centauri 02:52, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • If keeping every piece of trivia is "valuable" then I would disagree with you. Wikipedia is not a general knowledge database. Megan1967 02:56, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I would prefer other alternatives. See Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse (censored). Sorry, but the 'They asked for it' argument doesn't work. I wouldn't be able to find a pic of a real clitoris in, say, World Book encyclopedia. It's not censorship, as it lets people choose which version they want to view. Vacuum c 02:00, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

    • All browsers that I have ever encountered (and I've seen a lot of them since NCSA Mosaic in 1994) have the ability to download images, or not download images--it's usually a switch in prefs. I use this facility when visiting a page that contains images that I don't like to look at. Just because somebody puts a picture on a website, doesn't mean they're forcing me to download it and look at it. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:11, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

      • Tech-savvy is the wrong word. Modern browsers are designed for GUI operation, anyone can do this. The user's refusal to learn how to operate his browser in no way absolves him of personal responsibility for controlling what he does and does not choose to download. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:17, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • A person can not do something they don't know how to do. The problem here is the fact that English does not have an indicitive/subjunctive distinction. Yes, a person could do something they don't know how to do...once they learn how to do it. But, until they learn, they don't know how to do it. And, besides, putting a link at the top of the page which allows people to go to a version of the page without images it a lot simpler than turning off images in most browsers. Also: Why should a person not be allowed to look at pictures of bunny rabbits just because they have different values than the left-wing people on Wiki. I can not support the idea of giving people with different values than left-wingers a discrimitory experience. Samboy 19:45, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • I think it is reasonable to expect that people who want to use the world wide web will first learn how to operate a web browser. I'm shocked to find people here freely admitting that they do not, and apparently clinging to the belief that this is somebody else's problem. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:54, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • Incidentally, what place does the term "left wing" have in this discussion? Either a person can control his web browser or he cannot. His politics have no bearing on the matter. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:58, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • From an encyclopedic standpoint, it seems to me that anyone curious and literate enough to look up the word clitoris will be helped by seeing a neutral picture of one, in context. Wyss 00:54, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There's not very much in the article except for the spiffy animated GIF, which seems to have been taken from The Adams Motor Page without attribution and thus is likely a copyvio. A mention in Perpetual motion seems reasonable. The real question in my mind is whether this is a notable perpetual motion machine or not. (Parenthetically, I don't understand how anyone can be impressed by a perpetual motion machine whose diagram shows a battery in the circuit! If the thing works, why can't it just use, say, a charged capacitor to get it started, and maintain the charge thereafter with the "free energy" it extracts from, whereever it extracts it...)

  • Keep. Perfectly reasonable article about an invention that has a UK patent. As an article it stands up by itself, no need to merge. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:16, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this scamcruft (lots of useless perpetual motion fraud machines have patents, by the way). Wyss 05:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Of course it's useless. That's the whole point! But having a UK patent makes it notifiable by my standards. YMMV. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:18, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Let's ask Rambot to copy the contents of the USPTO database into Wikipedia. Six million new articles, badda-bing, badda-boom. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:11, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • How many of those are for perpetual motion machines? I'll admit to a certain bias towards screwy impossible claims made for tangible inventions, but I think that claim is what makes these things so good to read about. There are just 109 bullet points in History of perpetual motion machines, so it doesn't seem to be the inexhaustible field some have tried to make it out to be. And not that many of them will be worth an article; I think this one is because it's contemporary and is still used as a basis for experiments by Free Energy nuts today. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:12, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
That's my point. A patent is not inherently notable. Wyss 00:57, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Perhaps merits a one-sentence mention in Perpetual motion and/or external link from that article, no more. Just checked with a friend of mind who, though no expert, is more interested in things like Dean drives and Keeley motors than I am, and he's never heard of it. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking anything really well known. No evidence presented that this battery-powered perpetual motion machine is a particularly noteworthy example of the genre. Dpbsmith (talk) 12:19, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete Actually, I just checked, and its already listed in History_of_perpetual_motion_machines for the year 1977. So I would say this is a duplicate entry. Change my vote from merge to delete. If you had a full article for every claim of perpetual motion, there would be no end in sight. Timharwoodx 13:29, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • It wouldn't go forever, or perpetually, since even magnets slowly lose their force, correct? And the battery, plus the friction.....Eh, merge and redirect per above. hfool/Roast me 01:57, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep - IceKarma 16:19, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)

This article is just "original research" of questionable value without peer review reference. It concerns a perpetual motion device, no-one really thinks works. Further, it is already listed in Perpetual motion, so really it is a duplicate entry, already covered elsewhere. Multiple reasons to delete Timharwoodx 19:17, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - even without the pereptual motion angle, an article on every toy in the world is too much even though Wikipedia isn't paper.
  • Keep - it is NPOV and is an interesting topic. Has physics explanation from Matthewcieplak now to give an even more balanced view. --Pengo 07:03, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - It goes into more detail than would be appropriate in the PM article, and is therefore useful, plus there are many articles on Wikipedia concerning obsolete, useless or even fictional things. Boffy b 03:41, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
  • Delete - Non-notable BS, and the article fails to explain why. Smells like spam, right down to the inclusion of a patent number as if it means the thing actually works as advertised. -- Cyrius|✎ 08:46, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - I added a section explaining the physics of it (simple energy conversions), and how its illusion works. I found the whole thing rather fascinating, and it is somewhat notable as it brings up quite a few hits (from both proponents and skeptics) on google. I cited a scientific explanation in the external links. No reason not to keep it. Matthewcieplak 06:37, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - not because the device is ridiculous and attracts cranks, but because it's not sufficiently notable to deserve an article of its own. There are hundreds of perpetual-motion "toys" using magnetism out there - DavidWBrooks 18:14, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - I like this! --Irishpunktom\talk 15:25, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is an excellent example of something that was claimed to be, and patented as a perpetual motion device. As such it is historical documentation and good research material. It represents a curious modern alchemy of sorts.
  • Keep Bawolff 03:44, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm unconvinced by any of the reasons given. In the worst case, it does not do any harm for the article to stay. 80.58.43.42 01:43, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Just because we have an article on one toy doesn't mean we should have an article on every toy. This is a perpetual motion patent despite the laws against perpetual motion patents. So it is notable in a small regard (and I clicked on it because I was interested in what it was). Luqui 05:36, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

Really not notable. Thue | talk 21:57, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, nn. Rje 23:02, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • As I type this, I'm watching Robin MacNeil's essay on regional dialects, "Do You Speak American?" on PBS. Some people in the US would pronounce "Sparrow" as "Sparror, and I suppose some might spell it that way too. None of this, however, in any way keeps me from voting Delete --RoySmith 01:39, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to the joke thingy and Delete. Wyss 04:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • In defence of Sparror - this may seem trivial, however the services, including webspace on Sparror, provided by the truly independent artist's run Cube Microplex running open source software on salvaged machines are valuable and unusual in the UK, where most arts institutions are commercial or government funded. A post on the Cube Microplex's weblog, [7], explains the reason for submitting the article - which admittedly is in a sense of fun, but within a wider explanation of the Cube Microplex I believe it is worthy of inclusion and should be Kept. --Mr Hopkinson 21:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Ok, but the article provides no evidence of notability...?Wyss 00:59, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I will amend the article to hightlight these points . . .--Mr Hopkinson 20:55, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I call my computer "Mr. Biggles." Hmmmm, maybe I should submit an article on Mr. Biggles -- NOT! Delete. Edeans 03:39, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Ok, but this is not an individual's computer, with a 'wacky' name being submitted by that individual - it is an open access art server, with an unusual name that, due to it being used by many new users needs regular explaining - hence (I assume) the decision to suggest placing this information in Wikipedia, and why I believe it qualifies to be Kept.--Mr Hopkinson 20:52, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
