[edit] Gladys Warhol

I don't know whether Tubgirl is notable (and I don't care)- but I doubt anyone will search for her as googleless 'Gladys' --Doc (?) 00:40, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete almost certainly an attack, and on the 0.00001% chance that it's true, would still be not-notable and unencyclopedic. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:07, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

transwikied dicdef - wonderful phrase - not encyclopedic --Doc (?) 01:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Frikken Chicken

I can't verify that this band exists. Its first album supposedly was Greatest Hits. Gazpacho 01:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • 5 steps to a band vanity article, for maximum unverifiability:
  1. Band members known only by given names or pseudonyms – check.
  2. Vague band formation date – check.
  3. "Production problems" with albums, which are self-released, though it's never stated that they are – check.
  4. Band plans to do some touring or some recording or something, sometime in the near, or possibly distant, future – check.
  5. General air of mysteriousness – check.
Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:39, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete band vanity. Funny, they have had three albums but for some reason could not be released. Seriously, though, good luck kids. DoubleBlue (Talk) 01:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, band vanity. Funny vanity though: "what is considered their second album was also never released effectively, due to some minor police infractions." --bainer (talk) 01:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete (love psychedelico's first album mightve been greatest hits, but love psychedelico these guys ain't) Nateji77 12:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:03, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable. Either non-notable vanity or fiction. -- Infrogmation 14:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Android. Vanity. Unverifiable. Mgm|(talk) 15:51, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I'm from the band. I'm Jay-Funk, aka Jared Norman. I'd like to say that we do exist and that we did not make this entry... or at least the three members I'm with didn't, our drummer might have, but we don't think so because the article is too inaccurate. It's innacurate to the point that it couldn't have been us. We'll try and fix it up to be more accurate when we have time.

  • If the band can fix it up so it is accurate, it might be worth saving, otherwise - delete.--Kristjan Wager 16:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    Delete even if it's accurate, the band is still nowhere close to notable (WP:MUSIC). Seenyer 20:22, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wow. "formed in the late part of 2004", yet they already have three albums? Delete, vanity. RickK 22:43, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable. I like the name though. --Etacar11 23:28, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jay-Funk here again. It's up to you whether you see deletion as necessary, I don't really mind either way, but this wasn't made by us, I spoke to the drummer and everyone close to the band. Anyways, we have a bit of a cult following around here. I'll make the article acccurate and add some stuff within the next 24 hours, then you guys go ahead and do as you see fit.

  • "Albums are hard to find"; "ask the right people in Victoria" for an album...delete. humblefool® 03:32, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Dr. Kaine here, Jay-Funk is a dumbcrap, he wrote the orriginal, just check the IPs (though he's still lying about it ATM). Go ahead and delete us as we probably don't belong on wikipedia.
  • Ok, Jay-Funk here, I've established it was my brother, and he was adding stuff too. He's stupid, anyway. Go ahead and delete. It was fun while I thought someone cared about us here.
  • Im Tristan im not in the band but im here to say that they really are a band!!! There are many people petitioning to keep this entry, so please do not delete
  • I'm sure they are a band, and hey, how can you not like a band with a name like Frikken Chicken, but maybe when they've put out a greatest hits album-oh, right...okay, at the very least they could have a song that's been heard outside of Victoria. Anyway, I'm sure they rock, but for now, delete. -- StopTheFiling 10:09, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Two Google hits, none related to the text here. Proably hoax. Denni☯ 01:37, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

[edit] Fanfiction.net timeline

The content of this article is duplicated in the Fan fiction article, and should only be in one place. (Perhaps where it really belongs is in the article on Fanfiction.net?) *Dan* 01:47, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • We need to preserve the edit history if it's merged, the rest of the page should NOT be deleted, but redirected. Mgm|(talk) 16:00, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge (without redirect) to Fanfiction.net, but only the things that are useful/remotely interesting to anyone except devotees of the site's mailing list. "On June 23, Cassandra Claire's supporters react with a certain degree of rage on various mailing lists and message boards. Other fan fiction communities go 'Huh? What's going on?' " This sort of stuff is useless. --bainer (talk) 02:03, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • This reads as violently POV. If it is going to be kept in any way, I request a thorough going-over with the NPOV brush. That said, FF.N is a recognised phenomenon, and perhaps its history is worthy of record. --Simon Cursitor 07:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to Fanfiction.net, this is mistitled but a number of the legal issues here are interesting. Radiant_* 09:28, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or Selectively Merge into the Fanfiction.net article. Most of it is pretty non-notable (users getting banned, categories getting deleted, etc.) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:52, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Purge and merge, fancraftcruft. the wub (talk) 14:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge selectively as per Starblind. Some of this would improve the parent article; much, however, is clear vanity. --InShaneee 15:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to fanfiction.net and let the editors who know about it sort out the neutrality issue. I was around there at the time of the Cassandra Claire incident and it should be included in the timeline in some form as it was the first major plagiarism case there. Mgm|(talk) 15:57, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Maybe a job for EasyTimeline? Mgm|(talk) 16:00, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Fanfiction.net. Almafeta 18:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Fanfiction.net. There is some valid information here that would benefit the original article after some improvement. MegaSlicer 23:40, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, which pretty much has been done, which means Delete. Ambush Commander 21:24, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Johan

vanity, non-notable Josh Parris ✉ 02:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Agreed with Josh parris on vanity. The name "Johan" however is variation of "John", so I would support a redirect to John. Sjakkalle 06:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/redir per Sjakalle. English is about the only language that abbreviates names of classical figures, so people could plausibly look for Johan (or Johannes) when searching for biblical figure John. Radiant_* 14:33, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • What if it was transferred to Johan Andersson? TheSeez
  • Move to Johan Andersson Fornadan (t) 00:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to Johan Andersson. Also I disagree with being non-notable, Johan is quite well-known among people who follow game design. --King of Men 01:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Move the NPOV bits to Johan Andersson or Paradox Interactive, then redirect to John per Sjakkalle. -- Grev -- Talk 03:16, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to Johan Andersson or incorporate into Paradox Interactive. He's the head programmer of an established gaming company, and he has a semi-cult status among the fans of Paradox' games – Rafiki (talk) 06:26, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Johan sucks teh horsecock, in addition Wiki rules say that personal tribute pages are not allowed, as Johan is only a half-wit programmer at a fourth rate games company, he does not warrent a page. - Kyu
  • Delete I agree with Kyu, besides, the Johan Anderssen is already taken

    • It was not taken when the move was suggested. In fact, what's there now may quickly end up on the VfD. Further, it was created by this anonymous user, probably to block such a move from being carried out if that's what's decided. -- Grev -- Talk 15:21, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

Keep it. Lead programmer and game designer. Well known in appropriate circles. Similiar to Will Wright/Sid Meir. ~ Duuk

Can someone verify this? Revolución 01:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was - deleted, but should someday redirect to an article at lethargy. - SimonP 23:28, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lethargic

Nothing but a single-sentence (and grammatically incorrect) dicdef. Firebug 02:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete and Redirect to Lethargy, which redirects to Fatigue. Revolución 02:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • How about we avoid the double-redir and go directly to Fatigue (do not pass Go, do not collect $200)? AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 03:10, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Neither lethargic nor lethargy should redirect to fatigue. Kappa 07:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: They should until someone makes a lethargy page. Proto 11:25, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, speedy ok. Poor attempt at dicdef. Agree with Kappa that lethargy and lethargic should NOT redirect to fatigue. -- Infrogmation 14:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete is 'adjective - belongs to dictionary side. iirc, some guide explicitly mentoned to not use adjectives as arty topics. Fabartus 19:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Carnildo 21:31, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The "some guide" is the Wikipedia:naming conventions (adjectives), which also recommends that adjectives be redirects to nouns. Kappa is right, although I don't know whether for the right reason. lethargic and lethargy should not redirect to fatigue. fatigue is a disambiguation article. They should redirect to fatigue (physical), where you will find that someone has already made a lethargy page. Uncle G 22:33, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
  • Delete. Whoever wrote this doesn't understand the difference between the noun lethargy and the adjective lethargic and thinks it's OK to write Wikipedia articles as if they were dictionary definitions. Michael Hardy 21:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and Redirect to Lethargy It would be a good idea if the Lethargy areticle contained info about Lethargy and not redirect to Fatigue. Foant 17:20, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)

[edit] Zetor

  • Delete substub about a "Czech tractor company". If the notability can be established and the article expanded, I'll change my vote. Revolución 02:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The Zetor company does exist, if that's what you are wondering. It was originally Soviet-era farm tractor manufacturer from Czechoslovakia and apparently still sells. See also Zetor North America. That's unfortunately all I can say about it. - Skysmith 10:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If it's known to be a valid topic, it shouldn't be nominated VfD in the first place. Completed writeup of a small article on this. --Unfocused 12:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Unfocused, your continuing attacks on comments regarding VfD nominations are not winning you any friends. Neither is your whining on my Talk page. RickK 18:39, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
      • Struck out personal attacks, refactored using underline. Note: It is not appropriate to characterize sincere attempts to communicate as "whining" and that is a clear violation of WP:NPA. Since you won't respond to your talk page, I'm asking you here to please stop. --Unfocused 18:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Stop attacking the motives of people who make VfD listings, and I'll stop deleting your personal attacks. Look, instead of making the attack comment that I crossed out above, all you had to say was, "My Google count is xxx, which, in my view, makes this topic notable." See the difference? RickK 20:19, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
          • Struck out accusations. I have not attacked anyone's motives. I will consider your suggestion as helpful; however a Google count is often nearly useless. Reading the first page of Google results, or any one of the first page of hits, should be minimum research before VfD nomination, and I will continue to suggest the same. However, I will try phrase it more gently. I would've rather had this entire conversation on either of our talk pages, I wouldn't have cared which. Please respond when people post complaints on your talk page. --Unfocused 20:44, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • RickK, your continuing bullshit is not "winning you any friends" OR showing good practices as an admin. --SPUI (talk) 20:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep According to the website, they've been around since 1946. And a tractor company by its very nature is at least a medium-to-large size organisation. Keep and expand. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:08, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 13:18, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
  • Keep Medium-to-large sized corporations are notable. JBurnham 14:46, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, good informative article now. Ty Unfocused. Kappa 18:37, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are plenty of Zetor tractors in use around the world, and it's a very well-known, almost iconic brand -- for example, there's a theme restaurant in Helsinki, Finland that's been named after Zetor tractors. It's tongue-in-cheek, sure, but it's real. (And, uh, the food's pretty good there, too.) -- Captain Disdain 20:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • keep this too please !Yuckfoo 22:22, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep tractor company with 60 years in existence. Capitalistroadster 00:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • Not surprisingly, that anecdote is just as informative as the article. "weisner doorknobs" yields only 10 Googles, but "weiser doorknobs", which Google helpfully suggested, yields 167. This might be a misspelling; Abstain pending further research, but I'm guessing this needn't be kept. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 03:14, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • While the Kenny McCormick article is getting too big, this article is way too small. Delete this and split Kenny McCormick. Everything in Kenny McCormick#Ways Kenny dies will be its own article. Nestea 21:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • For reasons described below, delete. But still, clean up Kenny McCormick and delete Kenny McCormick#Episodes in which Kenny doesn't die. Nestea 01:30, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • First: Kenny McCormick isn't large. For large, see Roman Empire. Second, the reason that Kenny McCormick is the length that it is is because it's terribly written. For example: Why, since Kenny doesn't appear in any but one episode in season 6, does that article include the individual episode titles of every other episode in season 6, twice? Redirect and by making the escape route of growing another article unavailable to them thereby force the editors of Kenny McCormick, who think that that article is so large, to find some ingenious way of making the article shorter whilst not removing content that is actually connected to Kenny McCormick in some way. I'm sure that one will come to mind soon. Uncle G 22:49, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
  • Delete as duplication. The Kenny article isn't that long; removing the list of ways he dies pretty much turns it into a stub. 23skidoo 01:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Stephen Joseph Conrad was said to be one of Europe's' most incompetent Generals. Although his 'talents' were never truly put in to practice until he was already well up the military ladder, his peers had expressed concern as to his abilities to lead men in combat. Why or how these reports were overlooked as he rose through the ranks is a mystery

The result of the debate was ambiguous.

Virtually all the voters argued that the then-current version of the article should not be kept. The comments specifically addressing whether or not this band meets the recommended criteria at WP:MUSIC were also split with at least 2 voters explicitly not expressing an opinion on that topic. Reviewing those standards myself, I am not convinced that a "one-hit wonder" that topped at #71 on a niche chart qualifies. I note that criterion 3 sets the bar at "two or more albums on a major label".

The article was substantially cleaned up during the discussion period but I note that none of the voters in this discussion decided to reverse their votes. Of the two people voting after the clean-up, one argued "keep" and the other "delete". I take this to indicate a lack of confidence that the cleanup was enough to address their concerns.

I am going to exercise my discretion on this one and call it as a delete but without prejudice against the re-creation of the article if/when the band someday becomes notable. Rossami (talk) 23:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B5 (band)

Band has yet to attain notability. Only one single recorded, an album is claimed to be released in July. The member bios are not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 07:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep but cleanup. The group's single has apparently charted on Billboard magazine's R&B chart [2] which would tend to qualify them under WP:MUSIC. Also, they are signed to P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records which is a notable record label. Agreed that the article as it stands is not encyclopedic nor do the member biographies belong in Wikipedia in their current form. --Metropolitan90 08:08, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep.

I count 7 "delete" votes to 13 "keep" votes (one vandal and one troll discounted). A few of the "keep" voters added comments that indicate that they do not yet understand the meaning or purpose of Wikipedia:verifiable but there still is clearly no concensus to delete.

[edit] Pokémon Pearl and Diamond and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

A yet to be released Pokémon game. Much of this article appears to be speculation from a fansite forum. JamesBurns 07:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

--JamesBurns nominated Pokémon Diamond and Pearl separately. "Speculation for an unreleased game. ... JamesBurns 10:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)" I have merged this here as the same action should be taken for both. Master Thief GarrettTalk 12:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep assuming it's accurate. Pokemon games are notable. Everyking 11:16, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Tough one. The games really are to be published, and being official Pokémon titles, we know that they will very much be notable. However, looking at the biggest video gaming sites, practically nothing is known about the games except that they will be released on the Nintendo DS. I'm going to have to say delete, as I know that they'll be resurrected as soon as more details are available by a more honest Pokémon fan. Jamyskis 12:20, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Would be a valid topic real soon now, but current content is speculation. Weak keep but cut all nonverifiable text. Radiant_* 12:21, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Done, although there isn't much left over. Even the official Pokémon site doesn't have anything to say about the games. Jamyskis 12:39, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Is this the official American site? Just because they don't mention it, doesn't mean it is nt real. Coro Coro is a better source of information on the games. Sonic Mew 21:49, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Split into two articles, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Diamond. They're definitely notable, and almost certain to be released, but why have them as one article? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:41, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete - At the moment this clearly a Crytsal Ball article, but by the time this vfd is done, more information will probabily be avalible. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 13:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • KeepJapan has a habit of unleasing info at any moment. A lot of people will find this notable, as it is of current interest. So while this will be rewritten in november, its status at the moment is notable enough to keep. The crystal ball theory shouldn't not be placed on everything unreleased, (such as it is for the next-gen consoles. People want to know about them, so they are not up for deletion.) Sonic Mew 13:07, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Important Comment: I have just realised that everyone has been voting for a different topic to the one up for deletion. Pokémon Pearl and Diamond is up for deletion. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, (the official order,) is already an existing topic which is much more detailed. So I vote to Speedy delete Pokémon Pearl and Diamond and, (for reasons I posted above,) Keep Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Sonic Mew 13:15, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, fair enough, one should be redirected to the other. But the other topic you pointed us to is still a crystal ball article, and the sites to which the article link only prove what I said earlier - nothing is known about the games yet. My edit of Pokémon Pearl and Diamond is about as NPOV and current as it'll get. Jamyskis 13:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Serebii don't update those pages. Note that it even calls Munchlax by its Japanese name 'Gonbe'. It is also a secondary source, as opposed to the magazine scans of Coro Coro, which do prove it. I'm only leaving it because it will be really useful when the games are released. Sonic Mew 14:10, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and keep that one, to prevent info being added in the wrong places. the wub (talk) 14:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as above due to newly found info. --InShaneee 15:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete — a pre-announcement stub with no real content. If the page were more substantial it might be worth saving, but not at the moment. It can be created again once the games are out, if they ever appear. — RJH 16:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Almafeta 18:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hang on a minute..You can't put this up twice! It was already up for vfd yesterday, why put it up again? Besides, none is speculation. It is all fact. Look at the Coro Coro magazine scans. This is confirmed information! Munchlax has even appeared in a game and the animé. I vote to delete this vfd as it is already on June 1st. Sonic Mew 13:45, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

  • It is the same discussion, moved here. Radiant_* 14:18, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The game will be notable, and it will be released (look at the extent of secondary information). You can see it coming without resorting to a crystal ball. --Scimitar 15:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete speculation -> notability not established, games cruft. Megan1967 03:40, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Does anyone actually look at the Coro Coro scans? I would have thought notability would be established by the word 'Pokémon'! Anything else would be crystalballery. Wikipedia is not paper!. So 'cruft' should not be a reason for deletion, especially as the previous games in the series, (see template on page,) have done so well! These are notable! Sonic Mew 20:32, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Johanne Rask Arnesen

Delete. Seems like a blatant vanity page. As a model, its not good to have zero results on Google Image Search, and the only results in Google are copies of this wikipedia article. WoodenTaco 02:37, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

This orphaned and malformed nomination re-submitted by me. No vote. jni 08:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Expand. Certainly not every individual should have an entry in Wikipedia. But some do. I would think that there are a variety of traits or situations that would make a personal article appropriate.
  • Examples:
    Affects history: Nikola Tesla, Benjamin Franklin, Adolf Hitler, Linus Torvalds
    Is a significant part of popular culture: Oprah Winfrey, Will Rogers, Robert Service, Jesse Jackson
    Is extraordinary in some way: The Elephant Man, Marilyn VosSavant, June Wilkinson, Robert Wadlow, Angus McGasgill, Robert Hughes
    The sisters Helene Rask and Johanne Rask Arnesen seem to fall into this last category.
  • Certainly there are other reasons for inclusion of an article, but these examples are, I believe, sufficient to justify this article's inclusion and its expansion.
  • A Google search searches a small part of current knowledge and an even smaller part of human culture, a searchable subset of The Internet. The publically-searchable part of The Internet is not the only news medium, the only communications mechanism or the only fountain of knowledge. People still read books, still talk directly with each other, still eat, still worry and still love. The results of a Google search are less important that has been implied. Physical reality has not gone away simply because of the advent of cyberspace. User:au@xmission.com 09:40, 1 June 2005 (UTC) (No such user. 166.70.38.67 08:45, 2005 Jun 1 according to edit history.

  • Delete, an unknown model does not affect history, nor make up a significant part of pop culture, and is not extraordinary in some way. --bainer (talk) 08:58, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - one of dozens of non-famous models - Skysmith 10:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Moment of cynicism: I wonder if this would have generated more keep votes if it had included a picture? --Scimitar 16:21, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per bainer. As a model you need to be nationally known to get an Wikipedia article in my opinion. Mgm|(talk) 16:37, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • By presenting no actual evidence whatever, from the "physical reality" that xe handwaves about, that Johanne Rask Arnesen is "extraordinary in some way", 166.70.38.67 makes a good argument for deleting this article. And all that remains is Johanne Rask Arnesen's name, place and date of birth, sex, siblings (a Wikitree genealogy entry thus far), and that someone (solely the author of the article, for all we know) reckons her to be a major talent.

[edit] Christopher Buretta

  • Looks like incoherent vanity to me. Delete. jni 09:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, speedily: Results 1 - 2 of 2 for "Christopher Buretta" Dewet 09:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Every human being in some way impacts the outcome of history. Every man is a hero for merely getting through the day. Have none of you read James Joyce's Ulysses? It would seem to me that a denial of this article is not just an insult to Mr. Buretta, it is also an insult to yourself. We all will leave our mark on the world, it would be impossible not to. Why deny any man the right to be known for who he is, or even who he wants to be? Maybe it is "incoherent vanity." But what is the sum total of history if not incoherent vanity? Is it not written in the bible "vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Just keep the damn article. Keep. User:byob19 04:39, 1 Jun 2005 Note: edit was actually made by 69.210.96.77

Every man may be a hero for merely getting through the day, but telling blatant lies about how "most Buddhist Scholars agree [Buretta] is one of the bodhisitvas", to pick an obvious example, is not only decidedly unheroic but also not a requirement for getting through the day. -- Captain Disdain 21:28, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Motherhood and how it protects against ovarian cancer

POV title, POV content, not wikified and totally unsubstantiated. Also note Motherhood and protection against ovarian cancer, a duplicated location (and now a redirect). violet/riga (t) 09:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

For what it's worth, what it says is true, and there are increasing epidemiological studies showing that poor countries without birth control have low incidence of ovarian cancer (and menopause) because women are pregnant much of the time, but that's beside the point.

  • Abstain for now. I've never read the Damned Thing. Are the paintings in fact discussed in the book? If so, it isn't "original research," the paintings discussed surely are notable, and a properly wikified page reporting Brown's speculations about them would be arguably more meritorious than 99% of the other fancruft I still would happily keep. -- Smerdis of Tlön 13:39, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - this article isn't so much about the paintings or even just reporting Brown's speculations, but is instead an attempt to evaluate whether or not those speculations were correct. Therefore, it is original research. A list of the paintings referenced in the book and synopses of Brown's speculations would belong in the The Da Vinci Code article, but the content of this page is most certainly not encyclopedic. -- Jonel 14:57, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete pure speculation. I've deleted it before during an RC patrol last night as a recreation of deleted material. Let it run it's course this time, so we can show the creator the concencus.

  • undecided, clearly needs cleanup to remove pov, etc, and most of the waffle should go (but with the appropriat outlink). I suppose to be a feminist one has to be female, but one can agree with certain tenets of feminism whilst being male. This I think is usually expressed as liberalism, but if anyone can come up with a more specific widely-used term.

  • Delete: Utterly useless neologism and original research. Therefore it violates the deletion policy. On the content, all I can say is that it is rambling and a cherry picking of things that bother the author. There is no such thing as "feminism," as "feminism" refers to not one, but dozens of developments of thought, so there is no such thing as being pro-feminism, for one is always pro- one type/strand of feminism and never all of them.

  • Keep Not sure about this one, but I er on the side of caution. POV can be tidied up and a quick google for the turn returns 3k hits[4], 290 if you search google groups[5] so I'm not sure it does meet the criteria of a neologism. Axon 11:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Slang neologism. Possibly a dictdef if this were a real word, Google search doesn't support this though. Fazdeconta 11:14, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Urban75

The subject of a seemingly endless revert war, is this really worth keeping? Smileyrepublic 14:46, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article was listed for deletion earlier this month. The deletion discussion was closed here ten days before this nomination, and the result was keep.
  • Abstain (for now). How popular is this site? Is the user community as large as say Something Awful or the Straight Dope Message Board? A website has to show some serious notability to be included in the Wikipedia, and after a cursory look at the site I see a lot of activity going on, and 190,000 Google hits is nothing to shake a stick at. Also, we have to consider that if it has a really large user base, this article is likely just going to keep getting re-created, especially if people are already warring over it. — Ливай | ☺ 15:54, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep as per Mgm below. — Ливай | ☺ 03:04, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • Comment - urban75.org and urban75.net are part of the same site. Smileyrepublic 16:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment - As I said on the previous VfD, Emotion Eric, which also has an entry on WP, has an Alexa rank of 98,544, much much lower than Urban75. Should that be therefore deleted too? Thenugga 22:17, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a perfectly good article about an encyclopedic website. It's difficult to take a second nomination seriously when it's barely a week after the first was closed. If there were an "endless revert war", this suggests that the article should be protected, not destroyed. As it happens, there doesn't seem to be significantly more revert warring than on comparable articles. However, the nominator, User:Smileyrepublic, seems to have been engaged in a pointless edit war in the past day or two. I'm issuing a warning to him to stop. He's gone way over the 3RR, and I've issued a formal (final) warning on his user talk page. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:56, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'll assume good faith and think the nominator was unaware of the previous vfd. But I don't see how another discussion is warranted so short after the earlier vfd. - Mgm|(talk) 21:16, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Danmark (island)

Okay, I know some people are "keep all real places" so let me explain: This rock is completely unpopulated. There are far more many such rocks and reefs off the coast of Norway than there are schools in the United States. Second, I have searched for any verifiable information that Danes living in Oslo actually celebrate their national holiday (June 5) on this island, and I have found nothing. Here is an aerial photo of the island, it is the rock placed in among the small boat piers. That parking lot in the southwest looks more notable than this. Sjakkalle 13:24, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: To verify that this actually is the Danmark rock, there is a tab above the photo labeled "kart" (Norwegian for "map"). If you click on that one you will find the rock labelled. Sjakkalle 06:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • delete rockruft, not quite as bad as schoolcruft but getting there. The second sentence is irrelevant, leaving a 1 sentence substub. Dunc|☺ 13:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete if the aerial photo is correct, this rock is smaller than my backyard and has exactly one (1) tree on it. I tend to be an inclusionist on geography (I strongly believe that every named & inhabited town/village should have an article) but I find no reason that every one of the world's nearly-infinite tiny uninhabited islands should each have articles. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:35, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. If need be the tree can be broken out into its own article. Delete. the wub (talk) 15:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete: I am for keeping all real places with a position in history, which means that I'm in favor of keeping almost deserted towns and villages that had some part to play at any time in the past. However, this particular rock seems to have done nothing, hosted no one, and been fought over by no life forms higher than the puffin. Geogre 15:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, unless there is some evidence anything important happens on that rock. (I say this even acknowledging that there also appears to be some shrubbery on the shore of the island, and not just a tree. I also note that shrubbery redirects to shrub, which inexplicably has no mention of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.) --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 19:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • ... And several times I've asked RickK whether "all real places" includes my back garden. My back garden has (amongst other things) trees, shrubbery, "something that looks artificial" (i.e. the shed, a feature that I may have mentioned before ☺). It also has fences. Of course, as far as I know no bird spotter has spotted 2 birds in my back garden, as one reported doing on this island on 2002-09-27; although there are birds in my back garden, and so it is quite possible that one might have. However, the fences of my back garden are more verifiable, of course. For those who turn off Javascript for security, here's the fully zoomed in version of the aerial photograph mentioned above.

  • Question (and comment). Would anyone complain if I merged this into Sandvika and left a redirect? That's the local city, and this is a feature of that town's geography. (On that note, I don't see National Geographic erasing names off their maps because the mapped feature is "too small", so the delete option doesn't seem correct to me.) Unfocused 17:02, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I think that would be a good idea. Because it's probably not possible to write a huge article on this island, everything worth saying about it could probably be mentioned in Sandvika. I like this as a general principle in cases of questionable notability. — Trilobite (Talk) 17:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Oliver the humanzee

This looks like palpable nonsense. However, someone may know better, in which case this needs a clarification and source verification. Simon Cursitor 14:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • "One very desperate individual came forward and admittef that he had repeatedly fathered children with his pet chimp daisy". Er, right. Would be BJAODN if it weren't for the total lack of capitalization and punctuation. Radiant_* 14:29, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, as the article is a falsification and probably abuse. There was a chimp called Oliver that walked upright and had less hair than a chimp normally does (e.g. seemed more human than the average chimp) but was genetically 100% chimpanzee. I believe there was a TV programme about it (which of course spent an hour saying 'could he be the missing link' before admitting that he clearly wasn't.) [6]. A proper article would warrant a keep, this warrants a speedy delete. Average Earthman 14:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted. A quick look shows many google hits for this title with many conflicting stories; whether mutant chimp or just an urban legend, perhaps an encyclopedic article could be written about Oliver, but the dubious ramble listed here certainly wasn't one (looked like a semi-literate grade school vanity insult). -- Infrogmation 14:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

probable hoax Delete carmeld1 14:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete or speedy as prank/vandalism. What is "keyboarding?" Is that like water boarding or is it like what Rick Wakeman did or is it typing? (Yes, I know they mean the latter, but I hate all this verbing going on.) Geogre 15:25, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neoconservatism (Japan)

Neologism: The use of the term to refer to the group of young conservative politicians in Japan is not an established one in South Korea, Japan, or the rest of the world. It is only a name that the author of one news article of Choson Ilbo uses to call those Japanese politicians. The term that the author of the news article uses is not even "neoconservatism" exactly but "neocons," and his use of the term is not of scholastic definition but rather of pejorative manner with an insinuation to the famous neoconservatives of the U.S. If someone wants to write about the group of conservative Japanese politicians, it should be written in "Politics of Japan" or "Japanese politicians" or some other generic namespace related to Japanese politics. Saintjust 15:26, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • We could probably merge this to Politics of Japan, then. --Idont Havaname 19:31, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I think we should keep it as is, as I expressed on the article's talk page. I think it's a bit hasty to make a judgement that this is an isolated neologism. —thames 04:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge. The author of this namespace rather seems to be concerned about creating another neocon article to add to the list of neoconservatism rather than genuinely interested in those Japanese politicians on their own merit. Saintjust 14:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, I didn't have any agenda when creating it. I personally don't like the term neoconservative, since it is euphemistic at best. But after reading those Korean news items (cited as references), this namespace seemed the most appropriate place to put the information about this group of Japanese politicians. The Politics of Japan article doesn't really seem to have a place to discuss a small faction like these "neoconservatives"—it focuses on parties principally, whereas the Neoconservatism (Japan) article focuses on a group not drawn principally along party lines. —thames 16:24, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Update: I've added another reference link. This is from the Japan Times, a Japanese english-language newspaper. It's written by a (presumably American) professor teaching in Tokyo. It also refers to Shinzo Abe and Shigeru Ishiba as "neoconservatives". I think this further supports my above feeling that we're being too hasty in dismissing this article and its namespace. —thames 18:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Update: I've added a fourth reference link, this one from TIME Asia magazine referring to this group of legislators as "neoconservatives". —thames 18:08, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Update: I've added three more references (although the latter two from the FT require either an FT subscription or Nexis account), and rewritten the intro text for greater balance. —thames 20:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep thanks to expanded references. --Scimitar 21:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, keep it. Bonus Onus 00:45, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • rename if a term has been used pejoratively, then it shouldn't be used as an article title since that inherently breaks NPOV Mozzerati 18:27, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
    • I don't see why it's any different from having an article on Neoconservatism in the United States, a term which is just as, if not more, frequently used derisively, derogatorily, or abusively. —thames 21:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • keep, but rename to Neoconservative Faction or something similar. There are many factional groups in the Diet, and pages on the groups should probably be supported if accurate information can be found, and it would be a bit much to weigh down Politics of Japan with short articles on factions in the Diet.

Problem is, noting the joke has the same problems about verifiability - it may be a hoax, and that means the inclusion of it in the Zone 6 article is erroneous. It should not go in anywhere unless it can be verified. --khaosworks 18:53, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
It should go there, and the argument about verification should take place there; thus probably providing consensus for the deletion. Septentrionalis 21:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My point is merely this: it should not be included as fact in an article until we can show it's factual, i.e. after the argument about verification. Otherwise we're putting in misleading and inaccurate information in an article. --khaosworks 03:59, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep What? Vanity page? If you talk to those who know about these things in the UK, this is hardly a vanity page. This is a man who was imprisoned for a lengthy period of time for his beliefs, and has never fully recovered from his experiences. Talk to any genuine left-wing student at any of Britain's more 'academic' universities, and you'll find his name held in the highest esteem. It's mainly due to the UK's capitalist press that he's been almost excised from general political consciousness (such as it exists now in the UK) - not the case whilst the Morning Star (Socialist Worker) was still around. Is this yet another attempt by capitalist society to try to delete this hero of so many true socialists from ever having existed?

  • Keep I went to Sheffield University during the 90s and seem to remember a brief article in the student paper about him - we had a discussion about it with lecturers in the Department (Politics) and one of them had studied with him at university, although didn't remember him particularly favourably! Slightly dubious about the conspiracy theory argument but people certainly knew about him at Sheffield - think it would be wrong to delete in case there is some kind of cover up.
    • The above edit was from 212.50.160.44 (talk · contribs). Dear Mr. 212.50.160.44, if there is a "cover up" going on, wouldn't the better place to "post" this nonsense be to news agencies rather than an encyclopedia? Please stop playing here.

Just take a look at his user page and form your own opinion! Who is playing games here? Who is trying to be funny? Lack of political awareness and a peculiar skill for playing with IP addresses does not give you the right to control who is or is not relevant to Wikipedia. This is an international resource (including the UK), and not just for Americans, despite what you might think. You are not the only person with an opinion.

[edit] Differences between the Norwegian and Danish languages

Wikipedia is not a general knowledgebase. There is nothing in this article that couldn't (or shouldn't) be described in either Danish language or Norwegian language or for that matter North Germanic languages (a.k.a. Scandinavian languages). And there's really nothing that is significantly more important in the differences between Norwegian and Danish, than, say, between Swedish and Norwegian or for that matter any other combinations of closely related languages.

  • Keep, useful comparison of two closely related languages. Kappa 19:57, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, totally in agreement with Kappa. It's factually correct, well written, and of interest. UkPaolo 19:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a lovely article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Is there in fact any article that could not be kept as long as people deem it "useful"? The issue is how all five Scandinavian languages are related to one another, not how each individual language is similar (or dissimilar) from one of the others. This is just a lot of very redundant information that should be described in Scandinavian languages. To try to get this to a discussion of principles rather than alleged usefulness: do you really mean that if someone were to create articles for all possible combinations of Scandinavian languages, you would accept them all as valid and enyclopedic? / Peter Isotalo 20:37, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
      • Note: There are only three Scandinavian languages: Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. Also, the relationship between Danish and Norwegian is of special interest because modern Norwegian is developed from Danish (they were almost entirely the same written language until 1907).
      • (Sub-) articles on various combinations of closely languages would certainly be very useful to some readers, and I don't see what harm they would do to anyone. Kappa 05:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Any article that isn't 100% false, blatantly POV of purely offensive does no harm, but it means one could include almost any piece of general knowledge at all. I'd say it's harmful to the overall quality of our articles. Why do you think "Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base" is in the official policy? Peter Isotalo 18:21, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

      • North Germanic languages, of course. Were it not for nationalism and orthography, the Mainland Scandinavian languages might be considered mere dialects of one another today. And, mind you, the information in this article is of very low linguistic value; it has been written by someone of very shallow knowledge of even basic linguistics. The section on prepositions is not particularly representative and includes blatantly false info including info on the combined definite artilces/demonstrative pronouns under "Prepositions". On top of this I just noticed that the info on the use of the Danish definite article are just plain false. "Den" is in this case a combined demonstrative pronoun and definite article, but Danish uses the same definite endings as in Norwegian and Swedish except that the syntax is slightly different; Swedish and Norwegian use the definte suffix -n/-t in situations where Danish does not. As an example, the word bil is inflected identically in singular definite/indefinte in Swedish, Danish (and Norwegian?); bil, bilen ("car", "the car"). The differences could really be described in just one paragraph and without redundant examples, and could be generalized to include far more dissimilarities at one time. / Peter Isotalo 04:06, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment - Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish are the prototypical examples of how the distinction between languages and dialects is often arbitrary. Those three are considered separate languages, but are all mutually intelligible. We should, therefore, have some discussion of the relationships between the languages. If this article is kept, I would definitely hope to see similar articles comparing Danish and Swedish as well as Norwegian and Swedish. Alternatively, a single article comparing all three would be fine. As yet another alternative, all such comparisons could be merged onto the page Scandinavian languages. Since I have no real preference between those options, no vote besides the probably unnecessary "do not delete". -- Jonel 03:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] HYPS

Delete:acronym, and seems to be the source of a nice little POV vandalism scuffle by anons. Initially marked as speedy (by myself) as nonsense, bringing here for resolution. Wikibofh 20:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • I vote to keep the article.
    • Vote made by User:Stanford08 Wikibofh 20:46, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I as well vote to keep the article.
    • Vote made by User:68.6.122.161 Wikibofh 20:48, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, the article should stay and let me elaborate on this. First of all, the term HYPS is widely used among people in the know. College counselors refer to it and people refer to it in many internet discussions. Second of all, there is a page called "HYP" that appears to have gained legitimacy. This "HYPS" page seems no less legitimate, and definitely reflects upon its wide usage on the internet.
    Times are changing, and internet publications like chat forums and talk boards should be taken seriously. They are a new form of print media in the 21st Century, and Wikipedia, of all organizations, should respect this. Therefore, I think that the fact that HYPS is widely used among internet chat forums is evidence enough of its legitimacy. It's equivalent to dictionaries like Webster inculding slang words like "cool" in its entries.
    • Comments made by User:Stanford08 Wikibofh 20:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • This article should definitely stay. I see no reason why it should be deleted since it is entirely revelent and far from nonsense.

  • Delete dicdef. Incidentally, the article is a little Ameri-centric ("in the world"? I think Oxford University and Cambridge University, among others, are pretty exclusive) --Scimitar 21:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • However, nobody puts Oxford or Cambridge in acronyms used to describe the best schools. HYPS is commonly used, and based on that criterion, I feel that it should be included. If people started using HYPSO or HYPSOC to include Oxford and Cambridge, I would not be opposed to using that acronym. Anyway, this is not a contest about which colleges are better. This is simply a proposal to include a commonly used acronym in Wikipedia in order to better inform people and to spread the wealth of knowledge on the web. There is no ego-stroking here, just information exchange. User:Stanford08
      • Forgive my semantics, but my "nobody", I assume you mean no American that you know of. I imagine they probably have acronyms over in Europe too. I would recommend Transwiki to wictionary (if others consider this appropriate). Also, I'd like to thank the proponents of this article for their civility. --Scimitar 22:27, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. This page has been vandalized numerous times. Although it is an actual acronym, pages like this often incite school-bashing. It doesn't belong in an encyclopedia.
    • Vote by User:Ender_238. This user's only edit. Wikibofh 21:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I am sorry for commenting so much on this page, and I promise this will be my last one for this particular vote for deletion. Anyway, I just wanted to say that since HYPS is an actual acronym that is certainly used fairly frequently, I think it would be a great disservice to the users of Wikipedia to deny them this useful piece of information. I would understand the need for deletion if HYPS was some made up term, but it is definitely well-established. I hope that in the future, when the term HYPS becomes too well-established to ignore, Wikipedia will allow this topic to have its rightful place in this section. Thank you all for participating in this vote, and I look forward to collaborating with you guys in the future.

  • As the owner of VGF, I will remain neutral (I'm assuming this is allowed). I was considering voting delete to blend in, but I'll resist that temptation for the time being. I'm not voting keep because keep votes apparently aren't particularly welcome in this discussion (looks like at least one was deleted and one was blasted for being the same as two delete votes, which nobody mentioned), and I don't particularly care whether this article remains or not anyway. If I did care, I'd PM our 50 most active forum members and have them descend on this topic. It's pretty apparent where this vote is headed, since most of the people who have voted thus far appear to be either new to the Internet or just don't know that much about video game sites. That said, I have a few comments about the site (I'll try to be brief... apologies if this is too long).

VGF has a fairly long (8 year) history. It started out as a single site that was updated on an excessively frequent basis, at least twice daily every single day (all original content). The community, which remains a strong focus to this day, was a large part of that. In a short time, it was built up to a very respectable stature in the video game site genre. As it became more popular, it evolved into a network. This was very successful, and VGF soon became one of the top video game networks in the world, reaching 25 million monthly page views at its height and owning several of well known sites. This allowed it to partner with all the major ad networks while I personally became among the most prominent voices in the online advertising community as one of the most respected members of Geekvillage and Gethighforums, as well as a writer for Adbility. Granted, this was only 1/4th of IGN's numbers at the time (though certainly respectable by any standards and on par with others like GX - Gamers.com, FGN, and Gamefan), but we didn't have $1 billion (with a b) to flush down to the toilet either. To the contrary, I was dirt poor when I started the site.

Unfortunately, a couple years ago as the bubble was fully bursting, without the financial backing the major corporations had (and even they all either collapsed or had to be bought out to survive), it became necessary to make cutbacks, including deliberately killing off traffic. As a result, I'll acknowledge that VGF is not nearly as large as it once was or could have been. Still, it's unfair to claim it's unknown. Also, since we update on a regular basis and have an active community, I fail to see how it's just an advertisemnt. And it's just silly to claim that nothing links to VGF, even though the number of links is perhaps not particularly large. Regardless, what I would like to stress is this... If you want to visit the site, you're welcome to. If you don't want to visit it, who cares? But at least try doing more than 30 seconds of research based on clicking one link, visiting Alexa (inaccurate spyware that at one time ranked itself #3), or getting one unobtrusive popup here or there (oh no, it's the end of the world!) before bashing it. Ssacobie 20:28 June 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • I find it funny that your first line reads "As the owner of VGF, I will remain neutral", yet your article (which is much bigger than the VFD'd article) is completely in the direction of keeping the article. It's good that you didn't have your forumgoers descend on this topic, because then it wouldn't make a difference. (sockpuppetry) As for the keep votes, one was made with no reason to back it up, and the other was deleted because along the way, the voter vandalised other votes (read the history of this VFD, please). I doubt those three paragraphs save the article from below the notability bar, but it was a good try. Nestea 01:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd just like to say that a part of this site's network already has an article on Wikipedia. Neglected Mario Characters is part of a hosted site on this network. As for the advertisment claim, I don't work for the network and wouldn't benefit from it in any way. Zeipher17 20:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • CLEANUP rant; I've heard of this term, but AFAIR, it means the gluttonous American who uses disproportionate amount of resources, and has obvious displays of avarice and gluttony, without a care for the needy of the world, or environment, etc. who claims that it is their fair share that they are using, and that the fair share for say India, is much smaller per capita (this is either because of a per nation POV or a per acre POV, instead of a per capita POV, if said American were blameless) (most obvious example: Anti-Kyoto accord ads in the US saying it's not fair that the US has to reduce greenhouse emissions while China does not, and that China will have more emissions that the US... fair if looked at from a per acre or per nation POV, unfair if looked at a per capita POV. Since the US is a "great bastion of democracy", the per capita POV should be the most appropriate one) 132.205.44.134 16:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mall monkeys

The entire current text of the article is "mall monkeys is a comic strip on the internet". It appears to have been a web comic at some time, though it is defunct and no longer available on the web. Is this notable enough to have an entry, and is there anything to say about it? --Tabor 22:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Very POV with no encyclopedic content. Only a complete rewrite could fix it. The JPS 22:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) Keep and expand after Rick's stub. The JPS 21:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete hopelessly POV. better to start over. carmeld1 03:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • The problem with that is that one of the criteria for speedy deletion is that if an article has been deleted before, it can be re-deleted on sight by an admin, without having to go through VfD again. So somebody might offer a great rewrite of this article, and it would still get speedied. That's why it's better to keep and rewrite. --Idont Havaname 04:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Surely, though, an admin wouldn't speedy a genuine article about this? The JPS 12:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately, this sometimes happens. Thanks to RickK for starting up the rewrite. --Idont Havaname 19:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and rewrite. Since it is a classic, then it belongs in WP. No point deleting the article if we are just going to recreate it and rewrite.--Fangz 03:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Idonthaveaname and Fangz. Xoloz 07:06, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CUPE391

CUPE391 and CUPE 391 have a total of less than 500 google hits, and I wouldn't consider it notable. Article may have potential, but it reeks of advertisement. →Iñgōlemo← talk 23:43, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

  • Delete. User has also produced a vanity page. Eixo 00:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I left a note on the user's talk page about the vanity article. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 00:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Not an advertisement, but an first-person-plural POV entry on a single chapter of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Redirect (no merge) there, though I wouldn't oppose deletion, as this is not a likely search term. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 00:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. CUPE is definitely notable; individual locals really aren't. Unlikely search term, so no redirect is really necessary. Vancouver Public Library already mentions CUPE391, so there's nothing to merge. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 01:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless someone can give a reason why this local is notable. -- JamesTeterenko 17:30, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I'd probably rename the article CUPE local 391. The notability is borderline, but if someone wants to put in the effort to create a decent article I don't want to stop them. With some clean-up work, a few dates, and some history it could be an informative little article --NormanEinstein 15:57, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
