[edit] Trivia on EastEnders

WP:NOT a general knowledge base - this is trivia --Doc (?) 00:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Maybe I am just missing the point? But I think it would be unfair to delete this article when others too clearly have seperated trivia pages - so I say keep this page. Would like this clearing up though. --EastEnders the great 01:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
No offense, but all of those article should probably be on VfD. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah I agree with the suggestion from Zzyzx11, was thinking about that - but seemed like a bigger job.

If this article is too much of a problem then it can be merged back into the article until the other changes are done. --EastEnders the great 01:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I would suggest that this would be the best course of action. Encyclopedias deal with core information, not trivia (despite what some might think). - Ta bu shi da yu 03:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and merge into main article. Hornplease
  • Keep, better split out than merged. Kappa 08:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep and cleanup. The main article is already sufficiently large. This could perhaps be rewritten into more of an article than a plain list. JamesBurns 10:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename to Eastenders trivia. Radiant_* 10:50, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry is this my fault? I added some information to the EastEnders article and it said it was too large??? I think the EastEnders page should stay as one, it is stupid that the pages cannot be too long!!!!! Who cares if it is too long anyway? Oxydrene 13:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to EastEnders, then clean-up EastEnders. It is far too long and portions non-encyclopedic. DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with EastEnders and remove the trivia. --Carnildo 22:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • But it's all trivial - that's the whole point! --Doc (?) 21:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with EastEnders and cleanup. --Silversmith Hewwo 19:35, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pull (physics)

dicdef, Wikitionaryise Alai 00:24, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect harmlessly to force. One of the first definitions a physics student sees for force is "a push or a pull." --1pezguy 03:13, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • But there are so many other meanings to the word "pull". Kelly Martin 03:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • The only meaning that's encyclopedic is force. But that's being difficult just for the purpose of being difficult. --1pezguy 04:13, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • It also has a meaning in computer science. The assembly commands for dealing with the stack (computing) are often pull and push, although "pop" is used more often instead of pull.  Grue  05:48, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naziniggers

In the absence of any claim to notability, this is likely to be either trolling or advertising. Delete --Rlandmann 00:47, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete advertising. Fire Star 00:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Advertising--1pezguy 00:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, alexa rank of 385,768, Wikipedia is not a directory of porn sites. --nixie 00:55, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete advertising -CunningLinguist 01:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Not advertising -- The article doesn't protray website in a positive light, and doesn't try to convince the reader to go there. It's like saying the page on Microsoft, or any other company, is advertising. This article also might be useful to anyone who wants to verify if this website exists without going there. Kayeff 01:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • User's first edit.
  • Delete. WP is not a web directory. Gamaliel 01:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. For more reasons than I can spend time writing here. DJ Clayworth 01:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep The entry, judging by the lack of any tone of solicitation, is most certainly not an advertisement. While Wikipedia is not a web directory, the article is notable for the exceptional subject matter presented and its retainment merits special attention in this light.[[205.188.117.65 01:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)]]
  • Keep not advertising. Knowledge of this site even for those who do not wish to view it is essential to the full internet experience.70.107.182.175 01:54, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is advertising unless you cite third party references to verify that it is noteworthy beyond the average porn site. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:56, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Hehe. "Knowledge of this site is essential to the full internet experience". At least you made me laugh out loud.... But, sorry: Delete. Though, maybe you could use that slogan in a TV-commercial for the site, or something? ;-). Shanes 02:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable trollcruft. Antandrus (talk) 02:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't feel this is notable. --Barfooz (talk) 02:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a web directory.Tobycat 04:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No notability. DS1953 04:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia isn't a web directory, however, this could be incorporated into Shock_Site, or something to that effect. Conradrock 05:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Is it even notable enough to merit THAT MUCH? The first time I ever even heard about this site was this VfD entry, I had at least heard about some of the other shock sites in that article -CunningLinguist 06:35, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia isn't a directory of shocking pornography. I know WP:NOT doesn't say that, but it should! A Man In Black 05:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, and the article lacks any useful content whatsoever besides the URL. Maybe if there was some media controversy or anything, but there isn't. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 06:19, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Ranks too low on Alexa, little content besides the obvious. Maybe a merge into shock site is appropriate, but this is not noteworthy enough to stay on its own. Mgm|(talk) 09:56, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable. JamesBurns 10:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aryan Terrorism

Question of notability CunningLinguist 00:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge in to Nokturnal Mortum DirectorStratton 02:06, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment I'd agree if I thought there was content to merge. The three sentences of Aryan Terrorism fail to provide any facts. The first sentence states that it is a project, but fails to describe it further. The second sentence is purely POV. The third sentence is a pointless crystal ball statement.Tobycat 04:19, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Sorry forgot the tag "merge if this is even real" DirectorStratton 09:11, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete because there is no real content here. Even if there were, it would be non-notable given the minor notability of the band it's linked to. '"Aryan Terrorism" is a real topic, but the content here has nothing to do with it.Tobycat 04:19, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete / Merge, not that there's anything to merge. IF anything of substance is added, perhaps create a specific section in Nokturnal Mortum under the name Aryan Terrorism. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 06:22, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing to merge. El_C 22:10, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. --Silversmith Hewwo 19:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] František Janák

Doesn't establish notability. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 01:00, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

keep Nevermind... content added, VfD withdrawn Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:52, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete, sounds like vanity. Present format is that of a resume, and most of the awards seem to be nothing special (e.g. a 'honorable mention' rather than a winner, and a 'diploma'). Radiant_* 10:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete agree with radiant. The article reads like a resume. JamesBurns 10:57, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • (I've moved this page to a non-accented version because there seemed to be some transclusion problems). Radiant_* 13:59, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Question User:Sasquatch has 'withdrawn' the nomination, and removed his VfD tad - is this legitimate? Is this debate now closed?--Doc (?) 22:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Too Old 23:32, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Radiant --Doc (?) 21:18, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable artist. DS1953 07:22, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete A google search suggests that he is an artist and possibly notable, but this article doesn't suggest any of that. It's also a total mess, so if no one is willing to clean it up then it might be better to just delete it and let someone who has read the guidelines and can write full sentences try from scratch--if the guy really is notable, that is. I'm not an admin or anything, so I don't know what the protocol for crappy pages of borderline notable people is. But the google search brings up some very nice glass designs, and if there is a Frantisek Janak, it needs to have pictures of those and not just his c.v. and high school yearbook photo --Mister Tattle 07:39, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • A poorly written page generally should not be deleted; it should be left to be cleaned. This artist has exhibited all over and his work is in a number of museums, including at least one glass museum in the U.S. Since museums have limited funds, if more than one museum has recognized his work, then he is probably notable enough for Wikipedia (which is not paper encyclopedia and can be more flexible in determining coverage). While the page is poorly written, there is a lot of material to work from - just the thing a wiki is good for. DS1953 14:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep rewritten article on notable Czech glass artist. Uppland 17:30, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note to closer: The nominator "withdrew" his VfD nomination four hours after he nominated it and removed the VfD notice from the article, so this has not really gone through the VfD process. I substantially rewrote the article on June 11, so I think it would be inappropriate to delete this article without at least going through the full process. DS1953 16:10, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I apoligize for any inconvinience caused. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 22:10, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Girl Trash STL 1983-1989

Besides being very incorrectly titled for an article about a band, I think it's non-notable band vanity; zero relevant google hits Soundguy99 01:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Here's a Google search. [1] --Barfooz (talk) 02:17, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Concur with above. Not notable. Tobycat 04:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Wow! 17 hits, must be important. Seriously, delete, important American bands have a bigger web presence. Is their an allmusic entry on this one? Mgm|(talk) 09:59, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Looks like vanity page to me. --192.139.27.18 15:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mincer

This page is nothing but a dictionary definition. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. --Barfooz (talk) 02:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • What, again? How many times would you like the article to be transwikied? ☺ Uncle G 02:50, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
      • If that is the case, then should it be speedied? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Speedy deletion does not automatically follow transwikification. Read Wikipedia:Transwiki log for the various routes that one can take. Uncle G 03:23, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
          • There is a template on the Mincer talk page that states "It may be redirected, it may go to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, or it may evolve beyond a dictionary definition and remain on the Wikipedia. If none of these tasks have been performed, please do so." Since I cannot see it going anywhere, that was why I placed it on VFD. Though this word is not on Wkitionary at all, maybe it was deleted per a similiar type process over there. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 14:05, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or speedy delete as duplicate material. (Yes, duplicate material is a speedy candidate.) When folks transwiki, they're supposed to either bomb the article or tag it for speedy. Geogre 03:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, still a dic def, already transwikified. No way to expand this past stuff already mentioned in other articles on homophobia and similar articles. Mgm|(talk) 10:01, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. --Silversmith Hewwo 19:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for now, unless someone would like to write a new article- I actually came here looking for info on the kitchen implement. -FZ 21:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, if that's even the correct term to use for a one-sentence "article," with gay slang, and delete. Exploding Boy 22:33, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Funny Garbage

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 01:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. The stub isn't very good, but I did a little checking. Despite the quirky name, besides the work on creating the puppets, the firm, founded in 1996, appears to be a well known award-winning design firm with offices in New York and Los Angeles. In 1999, founder Peter Girardi became the youngest person to win the Daimler-Chrysler Award for Design Excellence and Technology Review magazine named him one of the TR100, a group of “entrepreneurs and young visionaries...most likely to make significant technological contributions in the next century." An interactive exhibit produced by the firm for the Whitney Museum of American Art - Jacob Lawrence--Exploring Stories - won a Gold 2002 Muse Award from the American Association of Museums. They have been the subject of numerous articles. In short, they seem to be notable and verifiable. - DS1953 04:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Legitimate advertising/media company with an impressive client list. —Wahoofive (talk) 04:38, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Could be okay if it got past its current stubbyness, so I vote keep. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 06:24, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "The Biggest Toy Store"

Please note Jonel's comment below. A merge requires the edit history to be saved per GFDL. This should NOT be deleted but redirected as the final part of the merge. Mgm|(talk) 10:04, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

I've merged the minimal content into the Toys R Us article. There's hardly anything here and it doesn't merit its own article. Barfooz (talk) 01:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete not worth an article, hardly even worth a subtopic in Toys R Us (Comment by Jtkiefer 01:24, 6 Jun 2005)
  • Speedy delete. Gamaliel 01:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Personally I wish the speedy delete criteria were relaxed a little. However, it's clearly not malicious in intent or content-free. It's just misplaced and doesn't require an article. --Barfooz (talk) 01:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Part of Toys R Us DirectorStratton 01:47, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and write a small blurb or something in Toys R Us about how the biggest toy store int he world is the Manhattan branch of Toys R Us. -CunningLinguist 02:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - Next time you merge an article's content into another article, please redirect to whatever page to which you merged the unwanted article rather than putting it on VfD. Once you've merged it, the GFDL requires that we keep the page's history, and therefore deleting the page (which takes the history with it) is not a valid option. -- Jonel 02:52, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • What should the redirect be renamed to, then? Obviously, "The Biggest Toy Store" is not a good option. Largest toy store maybe? --Barfooz (talk) 03:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Jonel is correct. Redirect, alrhough a rename per Barfooz, might be smart idea to do first. Mgm|(talk) 10:02, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete minimal content already merged. JamesBurns 10:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge content (which someone already did) and redirect. The "Biggest Toy Store" is a slogan for the company and noting that somewhere on the Toys R Us page should explain that.--Mitsukai 16:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Basically an ad. ShureMicGuy 19:04, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Account created today, all edits are to VfD. RickK 23:01, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Good idea but defintely misplaced, which seems to have been dealt with accordingly.Not encyclopediac in the way it was used.Jan Bei 1:40, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect Set it to redirect to Toys R Us page. --michael180 14:47, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and do not redirect. Having that manner of redirect would essentially be putting a pro-Toys R Us POV in the title structure of Wikipedia. Also, if it were to be renamed to be something like "Manhattan branch of toys-r-us", would that then mandate us to create articles like "Calgary westhills branch of ATB" or something similar? Falcon 19:02, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Having a company's slogan redirect to the company is hardly POV. -- Jonel 19:46, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Obvious ad. Doesn't make sense at all. It is the largest in size, largest in merchandise, largest in number of shoppers? Where is the link to the source of the research that determined the fact in question? Gbeeker 18:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Obvious brag. Could be an article under `Worlds largest toy store`, but that would have to contain `largest` by size, products etc, history of who has been largest etc.. This article as it is, when the info is added to `ToysRsUs`, must be deleted.
  • Speedy delete as vanity ad and hoax. --SuperDude 17:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Non-notable author (one of the books listed—the linked one, in fact—has not even been released yet). — Gwalla | Talk 01:35, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete No evidencd of notablity. You 01:39, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC) I change my vote to Keep considering after reading the comments by other users. You 16:46, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Poor woman, working as an adjunct. Her works have not yet achieved notability, although I wish her the best in the future. Geogre 03:13, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A quick online search indicates not only has she published the two books noted in the article, she has written at least one article published on Salon.com and she has been quoted in a wide variety of publications from Slate and the Boston Globe to The Christian Century. Her book, Myths of Motherhood is cited in a number of essays and research papers online. Colectively, that is notable to me. - DS1953 03:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The End of Gender: A Psychological Autopsy

A book that hasn't been released yet. Advertisement, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. — Gwalla | Talk 01:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia is not a crystal ball doesn't really apply here. This isn't really speculation or some future event that is liable to not occur (unless you have some other information that states that this book will not be released as planned?). However, at the moment, it is advertisement and this is pretty much on the edge of notability in my opinion, so Ill vote Delete. -CunningLinguist 01:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: To me, it's still in the future, and therefore any accomplishment is purely speculative and unverifiable. Further, this is an announcement and an ad. Geogre 03:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete It is extremely rare for a book to be notable before it is published. Since this is not onw of those rare cases, the text is merely advertising.Tobycat 04:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lourdes Ciccone

Substub. All that can be said about young Ms. Ciccone is that she sprouted from Madonna's womb, and has barely had a chance to do anything notable. — Gwalla

  • Keep. Lourdes Ciccone is already 8 years old. I also think that this article is more important than Madonna on Letterman and Madonna Kiss.Vorash 02:03, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) Merge and redirect - is not good ,because Madonna's article is already overloaded with info. Vorash 11:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) If article will be kept, i will expand it. Vorash 15:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • So what has this child done in those 8 years to meet the WP:BIO criteria? Uncle G 02:55, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
  • Redirect: This is an old, old issue. Redirect to the mother, who has enough coverage. Geogre 03:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to her mother. (Lourdes, btw, seems to have assumed the surname of her mother's ex-boyfriend (her father), so perhaps we need a redirect to mom from Lourdes Leon - or Lourdes Ritchie if a surname change follows the assumption of fatherly duties by mom's husband.) - Nunh-huh 03:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. RickK 04:15, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to her mother. Lourdes gets enough mention in the press that it is reasonable that a Wikipedia user would enter the name for more info. The Madonna page should be the correct destination.Tobycat 04:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonnotable, fancruft. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to Madonna (entertainer). JamesBurns 10:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I normally don't try to keep relative-of-someone-famous articles, but come on: at age 8 she's already attracted more press attention than probably 99.99% of the folks we have articles on. Virtually everyone in the civilized world has heard of her at least once, and fame like that, regardless of its reason, deserves an article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:02, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • Commenting... but a seperate article? A redirect or something could serve fine. As for "Virtually everyone...", that's a very presumptious thing to say. Many of us don't watch those stupid celebrity "news" shows. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:40, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Madonna. I hate not simply deleting this one, but I don't control the celebrity-obsessed media. Unfocused 12:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep The child gets enough attention, having done anything or not, to be notable. Secondly, the Madonna article is too busy and huge and this is a valid sub-page. SchmuckyTheCat 14:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Currently this is a single line article, and has been since creation. A single line won't expand the Madonna article appreciably. When it develops into a full section, the redirect can be expanded, wouldn't you agree? --Unfocused 14:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • This is a single line article, only because it's a candidate for "deletion".If it will be kept, i will expand it.Vorash 15:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. We are not E! News or Access Hollywood, and media coverage is not the sole barometer of notability. Encyclopedic notability, in my mind, rests on two axioms: achievement and recognition. Henry Procter is an example of someone with noteworthy (though mostly negative) achievement, while someone like Paris Hilton or even Terry Schiavo has recognition without achievement (although not terribly notable of themselves, circumstances or family and circumstances have made them so). This person lacks achievement, and her recognition is solely due to being born the child of Madonna. --Scimitar 15:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect. This doesn't need an article. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 19:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename & Redirect - definitely doesn't merit her own article now, but like it or not the very fact that she's Madonna's kid is notable in itself...however, per Nunh-huh, rename the redirect to Lourdes Leon. StopTheFiling 22:23, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to her mother's article. --Carnildo 22:57, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Madonna. We can give Lourdes her her own page when she does something outrageous enough to match her mama. Denni☯ 03:14, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

  • Geogre and Gwalla, you are making false assumptions about Albert Kellermann in saying that the article is a libel page attacking someone the contributor knows. Everything in the article is true, if only written in a misleading manner. Geogre, if you were to read(it is too late now) a recently "vanity page" article on which you voted for deletion(and even left humorously insulting remarks about the contributor), you would see Kellermann mentioned there in passing, by first name only, yet in a way that is more upfront about his identity and that would clear up the aforesaid false assumptions. unsigned comment by 209.208.117.164 (talk · contribs)

[edit] Diplom

English Wikipedia encyclopedia is not a German dictionary. Chill Pill Bill 02:24, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Transwiki to Wiktionary and delete: It's probably good to explain the common usage of the term by Europeans speaking English in Wiktionary, but it isn't a Wikipedia article. Geogre 03:01, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm looking at the rewrite, but I can't change my vote. First, it isn't bias to be the .en Wikipedia. The words we treat are English ones. Therefore, an article on German university degrees (all English words) would be a huge keeper, but an article on Hausfrau would not. Second, the article as rewritten still is definition and not discussion. There is a move toward discussion, but it's not really there. Therefore, I have to still say transwiki and delete. Geogre 00:01, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Taking your argument to its logical conclusion, we would have to merge Master's degree, Bachelor's degree etc. into American university degrees, University degrees in English-speaking countries or similar. Martg76 23:01, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Did you miss the part where he mentioned that this is the en Wikipedia? ----Isaac R 05:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I thought Wikipedia had a global scope. Maybe you could point me to the policy that it should have an Anglocentric bias? Martg76 21:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It's not "bias" to organize the material in a way that's useful to your particular audience. We're not refusing to talk about German-only degrees (that would be bias!), we're just talking about them in a way that easier to understand if you're not already familiar with the German educational system. ----Isaac R 22:15, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a German dictionary. Tobycat 04:46, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Wiktionary. JamesBurns 10:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I just transwikied it. --Dmcdevit 22:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. National systems of academic degrees vary considerably. If pages explaning academic degrees in non-English-speaking countries are deleted, but pages such as Master's degree, Bachelor's degree (which do not traditionally exist in German-speaking countries) are kept, this must inevitably result in an Anglocentric bias which I think most of us don't want here. Martg76 22:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Martg76 - this doesn't seem like a mere dictionary entry to me. DS1953 02:24, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep - Changed vote. Martg76 added two new sentences. I agree with Martg76's reason that we shouldn't be cultural bias which wasn't the reason why I nominated it. --Chill Pill Bill 03:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep post-dicdef version. I hope my rewrite was helpful. ----Isaac R 22:27, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Sigh. I think my rewrite addressed the dicdef issue, but the other point Geogre raises is a good one. For an English-speaking readership, it doesn't make sense to provide separate articles for all the different German degrees, especially a degree that's being phased out. A comprehensive article on German post-secondary degrees can cover all this in one place, and in a more useful format. So Delete my own prose. And in general, let's not be so quick to say, "It's not a dicdef, it's a stub." Not every sub-sub-sub-subject deserves its own article. ----Isaac R 01:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Move/merge to German university degrees, i.e. use it as a section there.SeventyThree 23:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep While there is an English translation of Hausfrau, there is no English translation of Diplom, just as there is no translation of Bundestag. Diplom is a name for a thing and there is no English name for that thing, if we want to describe it, we therefore have to use the German name. Markus Schmaus 16:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It does not make sense to have an article on Master's degree and not on Diplom. Many people who don't live in an English-speaking region use the English Wikipedia because it is the most comprehensive, the word Diplom is also used in English to refer to the German degree, and the article has enough potential to grow. Note that Education in Germany already has a long section on the German system of tertiary education. -- Jitse Niesen 17:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I would agree with Tobycat about something this obvious. However, I have seen many cases where an article on a notable person was labeled "vanity" by a VfD nominator because the person was unfamiliar to the nominator and the stub was too vague to make the notability clear on its face. In those cases, the exposure has often brought out the additional facts. - DS1953 05:01, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of the 30 Most Influential Women of the Millennium

In the Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not article, it is stated that Wikipedia is "not a general knowledge base".

[edit] The Storrow Band

Their debut album was released in May and they have since gone on hiatus. No entries at allmusic or artistdirect. "Storrow Band" gets 18 Google hits. Their album is apparently only purchasable online. RickK 05:29, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete non notable. JamesBurns 10:47, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete band vanity. Put this article on hiatus. --Etacar11 19:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC

allow me to respectfully make a slight correction to a couple of errors above- the entry did not say the band had gone on hiatus, but rather that one member had gone on hiatus in order to recieve a college education. The band itself is very much hard at work as demonstrated by a consistant tour schedule. Additionally, the band is an indie band which explains lack of entries on popular music sites such as allmusic. The record is available in independent record stores and the band currently has pending distribution deals with barnes and noble and other national distributors. The Storrow Band has listings on indie sites including starpolish, purevolume, sdam, and myspace music. Most importantly, the proof of this band's significance lies in the music itself, which will continue to take on more public relevance as the group continues to gather momentum.

once again previous users' comments are misinformed; as noted above, the band has distribution through several record stores. Additionally, an independent band can absoultely hold the same validity as one committed to a major label. notability is not directly about widespread distribution; if this were the case, only popular culture icons would be "notable" in this encyclopedia, and many avant garde and fringe movements would be ignored. The same cultural forces which have enabled a site such as this to exist have also reshaped the way the music industry works, and a band without major label support can still hold relevance for a large number of people. This is a real band and the information contained in the write-up is factually true. This honors the spirit of a database that prides itself in having a wide variety of knowledge and information.

Please see WP:MUSIC and point out which of the keep criteria this band matches. RickK 23:18, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Where's the notability? The band was formed a year ago. Musicians don't seem to have any previous history.

[edit] Gustav Leijohhufved

Does trespassing at the White House make you notable enough for a Wikipedia entry? Googling for the name in this particular form gets a few hits with identical phrasing, apparently originating in a single security report. The story is probably real, but the person is almost certainly called Leijonhufvud, which is the name of a well-known Swedish noble family (a member of which was queen of Sweden in the 16th century).

I've never heard of this genre in my life. I thought electronic punk was called new wave or synthpunk? Seems that this is pointless. For one, any band under this genre would also automatically be eligible for one of the aforementioned punk offshoots. For two, the creator of the article can only name one band (before I deleted whoever put Green Day as a candy punk band) for this genre. And thirdly, if it is a recent genre, well... that's just dumb. Genres generally don't get their classification till about 5 years after the initial band comes out and is then copied by slews of other bands. Then someone finally thinks to name the genre. It would be impossible to name it before then since technically it would just be one band's particular unique style and a few bands imitating them.

[edit] David Lani Christian Gabriel O'Grady-Haywood

I believe this to be factually incorrect. The married name of Princess Astrid's daughters are Woods, Johansen and Beckmann. Average Earthman 08:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • (Now added my signature - oops). A number of sites give geneology of the whole line of descent of the British Royal Family [9], although the official British royal family website doesn't go down as far as 80th in line to the throne. However, all sites that state the grandchildren of Princess Astrid do not mention this O'Grady-Haywood, and he produces no google hits whatsoever, so I believe the probability is high that it is deliberate nonsense. Average Earthman 08:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, hoax. See [10] which lists the descendants of Princess Astrid, of whom David O'Grady-Haywood is not one. --Metropolitan90 15:28, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
Would they list someone who died at birth? Because 7 month premature, birth weight 170 grams sounds non-viable to me (which isn't notable). RJFJR 04:37, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
Well, the article claims that David O'Grady-Haywood was born in 1987 and is living in London as of 2005, so it's not about a person who died at birth. He seems to be either (a) completely fictional or (b) a real person whose ancestry is being misrepresented. Even if he is real and notable, the article would still need to be completely rewritten. --Metropolitan90 05:17, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Springs and others

Alexander Springs, Big Scrub, Big Bass Lake, Clearwater Lake, Doe Lake, and Buck Lake are all campsites in a US National Forest. They are also single line stubs of the sort that used to be called substubs. The info has already been merged from all these articles as one section on the page on the forest. These should either be deleted or redirect to the Ocala National Forest article. Grutness...wha? 10:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Probably easiest, GFDL-wise, to redirect. Meelar (talk) 13:48, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect Clearwater Lake, Delete the rest. Information on campgrounds belongs with the article on Ocala National Forest. In addition to the campsite, Clearwater Lake is a geographical feature large enough to show up on my maps of Florida and thus my reluctance to delete it out of hand. --Allen3 talk 13:58, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

note: Another one just added (Lake Delancy). Grutness...wha? 14:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Most of these names are common for lakes in national forests, state forests, state parks, and so forth. If we put in a bunch of redirects, we'll soon need disambiguation pages by the dozen. Delete the substubs, weak redirect Clearwater Lake (perhaps with "(Florida)") per Allen3, but note that under that reasoning, all one needs is a more detailed map to justify hundreds of campground entries per state. Comment: I'm a hiker and would like having thousands of campgrounds and trails in WP, but the verifiability and maintainability and disambiguation issues would be substantial. Better to have them appear only in articles about each park or forest. Barno 14:25, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The article needs rewriting, but as the link shows, Bhutanese music is of very limited quality, so Dorji, as the only trained guy at the only equipped studio, should hit well above his weight in Bhutanese music. As a sound engineer, he is NN, but his impact on Bhutanese music probably meets requirements. (And don't quote me google hits.

[edit] Lava soap

I came across this page on 6 June. The page had been nominated VFD by 63.173.228.51 on 25 May, though user gave no reason for explanation or nor did the user list it on VFD pages. Thus, I am following up on this as the user had begun a VFD process and I am not sure if the intent was serious or otherwise.

My opinion: Keep. Lava has been around a long time, and is notable for a number of reasons, the pumace content being part of the advertising; the fact that it is made by an industrial products company (WD-40) instead of a health care or home care products company like Proctor and Gamble (though WD-40 Company is one now, they didn't start out with that intent); and innovative (for the time, and still to some degree now) packaging design. I don't know if it's one of the major-selling soaps in the US, but I do know that it's one of the more instantly-recognizable brands out there.--Mitsukai 16:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually Lava soap was made by P&G for decades until the brand was sold to WD-40 in 1999. --Tabor 19:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • That I did not know; it's not listed on the article and probably should be.--Mitsukai 19:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If you work with engines, you've heard of it (and probably used it). -- BD2412 talk 16:42, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable product particularly because of its history and uniqueness. DS1953 16:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Scratchy and unpleasant, but real annd pretty famous. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:49, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've tidied the article up a little. Joyous 17:57, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment - added a picture, product-stub, and soap category to the article. Not that I think the article's going to be VFD'd, but it couldn't hurt to spruce it up anyway.--Mitsukai 18:13, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Common household product. Capitalistroadster 00:18, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, though perhaps move to Lava (soap) to be consistent with naming conventions. Haikupoet 03:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Pretty much, yeah it's significant. So can we remove the VFD sticker now, or is there some sort of expiration on these things? --The Human Spellchecker 23:13, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep What??? You never heard of Lava soap? Keep!!!!
  • Keep I swear by this stuff, it's much better than anything else out there, and half as expensive. I found the article to be informative. Did not know it had been bought by WD-40.--Txredcoat 00:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete All of this content came from the same episode of South Park (Proper Condom Use). As a result, I have merged all of it into that particular plot summary article. Tobycat 05:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Just because something does not interest you personally does not mean you should keep everyone who watched that episode in the dark about what it means of what was mentioned. There's two more articles (dirty sanchez and donkey punch) where the persons have had to make the articles over two pages long to avoid whiners from going around deleting them (and for another reason, one of the people who voted delete these articles is going to sneak by and delete them from the south park page in the next couple months). It's like trying to delete the movie Titanic because you thought it was stupid or a chick flick. Thodin 18:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment I voted delete, but for information organization reasons, not to "keep people in the dark". The information is trivia within a narrow topic area (South Park). The content in the articles is not central to the show's storylines and shows up only briefly in the dialog. As a result, it is better presented in context rather than in stand-alone articles for each one. For people wanting to learn about South Park these bits of trivia may be useful. The best way for them to find them is within the South Park episode guides in which the contextual content is also discussed. I have already migrated the content of the above articles into the episode guide...so the information will not be lost if we delete the articles above.Tobycat 05:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Tobycat has merged into episode guide. Wikibofh 14:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I would rather not have a page that says up for deletion then deleted itself. Could you please remove this?

Hello, this is Blackthorne. I don't think anyone from our team made this page. I'd rather not have one until the release is complete. Otherwise, I'd have to agree with the vanity comment.

[edit] Sasxsek language

OK, I am finding that there are a shocking number of invented language articles on Wikipedia that are simply non-notable, ie: they are recent, original creations of the Wikipedians who posted them to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a strict Wikipedia:No original research policy, and Sasxsek language seems to be another one in violation of this. Googling shows that an overwheming number of hits to Sasxsek all lead back to Wikipedia--or one of its mirrors--as the original source. Wikipedia is not a platform for establishing the notability of anything. func(talk) 18:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • May I ask where you heard about this language, apart from Wikipedia, a Wikipedia mirror, or another source that credits or that ultimately leads back to Wikipedia? If you are perceiving some hostility, it is only because many conlang authors have been using Wikipedia to establish the notability of their brand new conlang creation. Wikipedia is here to report on verifiable subjects, and not to support original research. func(talk) 19:25, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

          "Gosh: 18 entire posts about SASXSEK in the last three months, none of which are archived from your vanity froup. You sent the newgroup Thu, 23 Oct 2003 09:40:29 GMT, after it was pointed out that no one was discussing your artificial language on Usenet and that you should post to alt.language.artificial. Your group hasn't been picked up beyond Easynew, Newsreaders, and Altopia which create 100% of the crap alt groups (and only a selection of the legitimate groups). Why are you here with another proposal for the same froup? You don't get to retrocharter your froup. If you want to make up for your earlier mistakes, then find some discussion for your topic. Go away."
        • And then there is this link, [14], where a "call to arms" has been sent out to save this very conlang. These 68 usenet postings convince me even more that this is a vanity posting to Wikipedia, and that this conlang has no currently notable currancy, ie: no one is speaking it or studying it in any serious way other than Dana Nutter him- or herself. func(talk) 16:48, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • As a conlanger myself, let me just say very strong Delete. Totally non-notable. Conlangers, don't spam Wikipedia with your languages (unless they truly are *notable*), it just makes the rest of us look bad. --Whimemsz 01:15, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Kill all non-notable conlang articles. (Yes, I'm a conlanger too.) This isn't even a conlang article, just some silly person calling their list of phonemes a conlang again. Plus it's an auxlang, which means it's supposed to have a considerable number of actual speakers before it could be considered notable. May no such thing ever happen.

[edit] Earth Society

I think Earth Society should be deleted as it appears to be a self indulgent vanity article for a non noteworthy group of people. However, I am not 100% satisfied that they are non-noteworthy, as I do not know this field well, thus I have chosen to submit it for VfD rather than speedy deletion.

  • After a little bit of research, the Earth Society turns out to be a legit group. The article is written very poorly - possibly copy-pasted from somewhere else - but legitimate. This needs a rewrite, but not a delete. 216.158.31.195 18:35, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep So using that logic you should delete the Free Masons since they have been a secret society. You would also never add Builderburger Society.
Also members don't want the members talking about the location, but its existance is not in question.
Your logic doesn't follow. You have an article on Area 51 the government has a poorly kept secret base there. They would really rather people not talk about it, and they have purchased land to block public view. Being the government doesn't want you talking about it, the using your logic the AREA 51 entry should be deleted. User:141.157.157.100 4:26, June 6th, 2005 (EDT)
  • Oh, my apologies if I was unclear. I would advise you to check the wiktionary 'facetious' or 'sarcastic'. A well-known aspect of some vanity creations is how they aren't wellknown because the members keep it a secret. As for your reasoning, Free Masons don't hide their existence, and Area 51 was built by the govt., which is representative of "the people", therefore it is created by "the people", who never have expressed their wishes that it remain a secret. If my arguments fail to convince I would vote delete as unverifiable and nonnotable. --Scimitar 21:42, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Shorthand

This seems to be an advertisement for a proprietary product. Too Old 19:27, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)

I believe it should be dealt with in one of the following ways:

  1. Deleted
  2. Merged with the main shorthand article
  3. Made part of a new srticle about proprietary shorthand systems, of which there are several.

Too Old 19:32, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)

He was probably a darn good college ball-player, and might well become a darn good GM somewhere; but he just hasn't done it yet. Potential isn't encyclopaedic. Frjwoolley 00:05, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't think accountants are all that notable by default, but that doesn't matter at all, because this is actually a hoax: "He became intensely interested in baseball following a curious event marking his sixth birthday. [...] When Richard's father returned home from his cashier's job at Seven Grains Market in Tallmadge Ohio he was struck in the head by a rouge [sic] black bird that had been pirched above the family's front door. The bird was reported to be in such a rage that it desisted only after consuming Vander's left eye and puncturing his right. By the time Richard reached his father, Vander had died from loss of blood. Richard and his mother buried Vander in their backyard garden and celebrated young Richard's birthday at his graveside. From that point foward, Vanderpool's love of baseball would not diminish." I'm sorry, what? Someone died from loss of blood from two wounds to the eyes? And because of this incident, young Richard loved baseball? Makes sense! Furthermore, his book about the incident, named Thus Spoke Zarathustra, was was pulled from stores when Nietzsche's great great nephew Mark sued him (never mind that the book's copyright expired ages ago), and when the book was retitled to Being and Nothingness: A Phenomenological Essay on Ontology, he was again sued by Sartre's "friends and publishers" and then had to give up on the whole thing because he'd exhausted every possibility for a name? Okay, I laughed at this stuff, sure, but it's a hoax. Away with it, I say. Should probably see what else the author of the article has been up to... -- Captain Disdain 21:55, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment And yes, I realize that the parts that I quoted above may appear to be vandalism instead of a hoax, but I would like to point out that after the page was vandalized by User:Runner06, the article's original author, User:198.234.224.6 took the time to fix various typos and whatnot in the vandalized text. I suppose it's possible that he was simply gullible and thought that the other guy knew more about the topic... but I doubt that. Looking at his user contributions, I see that he has vandalized other pages before, including (to pick a couple of random samples) Juggalo, Rap, Battle of Gettysburg, Napoleon Dynamite, Columbine High School Massacre, where he apparently pulled the classy move of creating imaginary victims, and Skateboarding, in which he posed the following conundrum to his fellow Wikipedians: "haha ypur gay u fag why are you reading this u poseR!" Truly, who can say? Now, I dunno if Runner06 is his friend, a sockpuppet or a completely unrelated guy, but the point is, the original author is not a particularly credible contributor... and, more importantly, even if he were, a perfectly ordinary accountant still isn't notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. Of course, if he turns out to be a real person and a thoroughly extraordinary and notable accountant, I'm happy to change my vote. I very much doubt that I'll have any reason to. -- Captain Disdain 01:37, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: A few more points about this article. I looked on The Baseball Cube, and they didn't know of any players named Vanderpool, and they showed that the Cleveland Indians' 11th-round pick in the 1998 draft was actually Jake Reynolds, who went to Southern Utah University. Also look at this Google query, which I just ran. Also noteworthy is that the Lake County Captains did not even exist until 2003 (Richard's "playing career ending" injury was in 2000). Also look at the Lake County Captains' all-time roster. That shows that even this version of this article is a definite hoax. --Idont Havaname 02:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • How is it irrelevant? I was testing to see if what was in the article was correct. The Baseball Cube has a list of every player ever drafted by a major league team. The article claims that he was drafted; he certainly wasn't, if the Baseball Cube doesn't have him. And of course, if the article was saying that he was playing for a team that didn't exist until three years after he stopped playing, that can't possibly be correct either. Clearly this article isn't factual. Minor league baseball teams are generally not stupid. An all-time roster is a pretty definitive resource if you want to know if somebody has ever played for that team. And this guy hasn't. And according to the official site of Minor League Baseball, he's not even the accountant for this team. --Idont Havaname 19:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete - some high-school kids who like to high-five with the backs of their hands came up with Deep Philosophical Meanings for it and declared it a movement. FreplySpang (talk) 20:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete- The popularity of the high evif is such that it deserves mention. However, I think the article would work better as a sub-section of the article on the high five. The trend is found almost exclusively in the mid-west and is most concentrated in North Eastern Ohio, thus it is not surprising that many are unfamiliar with it and its significance; the card game Euchre is another trend restricted almost exclusively to the mid-west; its article, however, is not up for deletion.

Googling on "Jon English Paris yields quite a bit of paydirt. There's probably an article here if anyone wants to write one. I don't feel like it. Ah, here's a bit about a 2004 staging in Melbourne. The concept album sold 50,000 copies and as for the Melbourne production, "Jon has chosen amateur theatre to stage the productions. The decision was easy.

      • For some semblance of sticking to naming conventions, I've redirected it to Town Destroyer. This might be temporary as the community will need to come to a consensus on the proper way to spell it (with or without a hyphen? or to redirect from the Iroquois spelling(s)?). --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 07:35, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • In at least one, possibly two, ways, this is at the very least the wrong title. First, someone's shift key appears to be stuck. Second, George Washington tells us that the name was in fact "Hanodaganears", which to everyone (of the bare handful that even mention the word) apart from Wikipedia and its mirrors apparently means "Destroyer of Towns". "Caunotaucarius" apparently means "Town Destroyer". "Hanadahguyus" apparently also means "Town Destroyer". Going by the Wikipedia:naming conventions a Rename to Town Destroyer (and possibly several redirects) seems to be in order. Uncle G 23:53, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)

  • Comment: I'm not sure if this nickname is worthy of an article itself, since almost every prominent white person of the era who dealt with American Indians received some sort of nickname like this. William Johnson (1715-1774), for example, was Warraghiyagey, "one who does much business." But "Town Destroyer" does get mentioned (briefly) in a lot of books, and there is more to be said about the nickname -- including that it might have been originally applied to one of Washington's ancestors. All told, it might be expanded to maybe two paragraphs at most. Article worthy? --Kevin Myers 03:58, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

    • Comment: It's not a question of quality, but one of notability. Furthermore, I see that your username is Theblindparrot.

[edit] List of tyrants

This is inherently POV - a 'list of tyrants in antiquity' might just work - but not this (see its talk too) --Doc (?) 21:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This should not be a candidate for deletion under this criteria of NPOV, I refer you to Wikipedia:Deletion policy#What to do with a problem page/image/category "Article is biased or has lots of POV" -- lots of POV List on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention. It does not fill any of the criteria for deletion under the section Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Problems that may require deletion. If you think it does then you should have given that as you reason for listing it here --Philip Baird Shearer 18:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
An article that is listed for deletion as "irredeemibly" or "inherently" POV doesn't have mere bias or POV problems—the allegation is that its very subject matter and defined scope is founded upon POV (not an NPOV reporting of notable POVs, mind you) and can't be extricated from it. An article that is incapable of being made NPOV is clearly unencyclopedic and therefore deletable. I believe it would also qualify as original research, because the content then entirely depends upon how an editor has subjectively chosen to theorize or interpret information. See List of movies that have been cited as being among the worst ever made for a way out of this—that list functions as a report of rankings by notable judgments/standards. The delete votes here obviously do not believe this list is capable of being rescued in such a manner. Postdlf 17:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As I said on the Talk:List of tyrants
I have created this list to move the modern POV out of the definitions of Tyrant and Tyrannicide and to create a list of ancient Tyrants. To be listed here they ought to meet the definition of Tyrant as defined on the Tyrant page.
If the list is too subjective then it better that it is in a separate list than in the two other articles "Tyrant" and "Tyrannicide". If you vote to delete this list you simply vote to reinstate the POV into the definition page which IMHO is worse. The list which appears in this article was in the Tyrant page and I removed them from there. There was also a list with even more POV in Tyrannicide which I edited down but has been reverted. Go have a look and then decide if having one POV list broken out of the two definition articles is better than having them embedded directly in the definition articles. A similar tactic has been used in many articles for example military occupation and List of military occupations, Torture and Uses of torture in recent times --Philip Baird Shearer 22:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Agreed, too subjective. El_C 22:05, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The objection seems to be to the term tyrant, rather than the persons listed in the article. Who more aptly could be included as a modern tyrant?

  • Merge back to Tyrant, and redirect list of tyrants to that page. --Idont Havaname 07:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Neutral for now. Why do we have to have a list of "Tyrants"? Why not a list of "leaders" (or something more specific that ties them all together and isn't POV) and then you can point out all the (factual) nasty things about them on their individual articles. That way no-one can fight over who should and shouldn't be on the list. --Silversmith Hewwo 19:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It is to remove the POV from the other two articles "Tyrant" and "Tyrannicide" which can then remain clean definitions with the POV restricted to List of Tyrants. For example at the moment the list of people on whom Tyrannicide was committed includes King Louis XVI of France and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Two autocrats who are not normally defined as tyrants. If one can argue on the Tyrannicide page that unless the victim appears in the list of Tyrants then they can not be a victim of Tyrannicide it will help keep POV out of that article. If the definition of tyrant is changed on the Tyrant page to mean only true Tyrants as defined in classical literature, then all the better because the list would cease to have any POV. But leaving aside the NPOV issue of the of list of modern tyrants for a moment, a list of classical tyrants would in itself be interesting and useful, as I am sure that like me most people do not know who they all were. Philip Baird Shearer 19:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
A list of Classical tyrants could be fine, and interesting, but I don't think we should ever include modern people. It's just way too subjective. --Silversmith Hewwo 21:29, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
But this is something to be decided long term by the contributors of the page not by a small number of people who happen to be voting on the issue now. Also it does not address the issue of removing POV from the other two pages. Philip Baird Shearer 10:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  1. Delete. Inherently POV. I would, however, support a List of classical tyrants or a List of tyrants in antiquity. --Carnildo 18:53, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Classifying people into tyrants/non-tyrants will always be controversial, but if the general opinion among scholars of our time is that someone is a tyrant, he or she should be listed here. The list itself is a valuable encyclopedic entry. I may not agree with the inclusion of each and every person on that list, but I do recognize the fact that all of them are commonly accepted to be tyrants, which is the only thing that matters in a collaborative work such as Wikipedia.

Further the list can be defined not to include modern Tyrants if that is what the editors of the list wish to do. But it should not be a candidate for Deletion just because it is only a couple of days old and contains an unbalanced POV. Philip Baird Shearer 18:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment I'd be willing to support retention if, and only if, this was renamed to a list of clasical tyrants - or tyrants in antiquity or simmilar. The tyranicide argument doesn't work as it is also POV. Most political assasins have considered their victims as tyrants or oppressors. --Doc (?) 21:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Unless someone is defined as a tyrant then their death by another's hand can not be a tyranicide no matter what the thoughts of the assasin is, so a list of tyrants also helps to police tyranicides Philip Baird Shearer 10:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Doc you have not answered the question of under which catagory for deletion you have placed this request here.

  • "inherently POV" is not given as a reason to delete a page Wikipedia:Deletion policy#What to do with a problem page/image/category.
  • The title is not "inherently POV", it depends what is placed in the list. A title like "The Tyrant Hitler" is "inherently POV". The people who contribute to the page can decide if the page should or should not contain a list of "modern tyrants" as well as those in the classical period. Do you not see that you are trying to force your POV on others by using this deletion mechanism? Philip Baird Shearer 10:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There are some (a minority for sure, but they probably exist) who would consider Hitler a great leader and a savior rather than a tyrant. There's a difference between an article that currently has POV problems and one that will always have POV problems. The policies you site are not the end-all-be-all of the way things work around here. Deletions occur by consensus, not necessarily what is written down. Past consensus has typically been to delete articles that are inherently or blatantly POV. I think that is an accurate description for this article. My vote remains unchanged: delete. Don't take it personally. This is about the article, not about you. --Xcali 14:48, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  1. There is difference between an article name, which has NPOV the title and one which does not. "List of Tyrants" is neutral in a way that "The Tyrant Churchill" is not.
  2. Explain how a title such as List of Tyrants will always have POV problems. It depends on how the introduction defines Tyrant. The introdution could define the a tyrant by using the Ancient Greek definintion or what ever. See List of military occupations as an example of how the definition can be a guide for the creation of a list.
  3. If "list of Tyrants" is inherently POV why is the title "Tyrant" not? By the logic being expressed by some here, it should be moved to "classical tyranny".
  4. What is the point of having policy guidelines for "votes for deletion" if people do not abide by them? Philip Baird Shearer 17:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • An article on ?tyranny? can discuss various definitions and concepts of tyranny - the concepts will be POV but an NPOV reporting of them is possible (just like definitions of Socialism, Christianity etc). A ?List of tyrants?, however, must per se apply one of those POV definitions - the selection is thus 'inherently POV'. You suggest the introduction can define tyrant - but that introduction will be POV itself - it will result in a dispute and there will be no 'neutral' ground to decide it.
  1. The guidelines are guidelines - and an attempt to record community consensus. If you look back on the debates in VfD, you will find that there is a consensus that 'inherently POV' is grounds for deletion. --Doc (?) 17:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If they are only guide lines they why does it state at the top of the template in bold: This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.? If it is policy which part of the policy are you following by proposing this page for deletion? Philip Baird Shearer 13:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The part that states: Is not suitable for Wikipedia. Consensus for/against deletion (or alternatives) will determine whether it is/isn't (~). El_C 13:58, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Deletion policy#What to do with a problem page/image/category says "Is not suitable for Wikipedia (see WP:NOT)" Which part of WP:NOT does this deletion come under?
PLEASE DO NOT ACTION ANY DECISION ON THIS PAGE UNTIL IT IS AGREED THAT THIS REQUEST FOR DELETION HAS FOLLOWED THE POLICY AS STATED ON THE "Votes for deletion" PAGE.
--Philip Baird Shearer 09:07, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
At the moment I would say that it increasingly falls under WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A SOAPBOX, Philip Baird Shearer. WP:NOT is in parentheses and it most certainly dosen't say that 'suitability' is limited to its provisions. Again, consensus will determine whether this article is "suitable for wikipedia." This is policy, and I urge you to desist from these senseless procedural circularities. El_C 09:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
In what way is "List of Tyrants" anything to do with a soapbox? If you are refering to what I have written here, I have asked a reasonable question and your answer is that there are no policy guidelines to follow other than whatever is placed on "Votes for deletion" and votes which take place. In which case why have a Policy statment on the template? If the policy guidelines are not being followed why have them at all? Philip Baird Shearer 09:39, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well, the bolding and CAPS seemed a bit of an overstatement, is what I mean. And, no, what I am saying that consensus can play a loose role in the realm of suitability, beyond perhaps all the provisions of WP:NOT, fitting 'precisely' for every subject. In this case, Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base seems to be fairly applicable, but my point is that so do other policies mentioned in WP:NOT, such as: WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, etc. El_C 09:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As I said above the title "is neutral in a way that "The Tyrant Churchill" is not". A list of tyrants is no more "Origial Research" than many other lists (please see my comments on list under Wikipedia talk:No original research). So I disagree with you. The title is not related to any of the subsections in "Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base" nor was that the reason that Doc gave as his reason for posting this request. He wrote "This is inherently POV" which is covered in the Policy "Procedure for deletion" under "Problems that don't require deletion"->"Article is biased or has lots of POV" with a solution of "List on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention." The policy does not advocate deletion. So This request should be withdrawn as it does not following policy. What is the forum for putting requests to delete "votes for deletion" pages? No action should be taken on this request to delete until it is agreed that it is within policy --Philip Baird Shearer 20:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Prove me wrong by gathering the consensus to dismiss the VfD on those grounds. Otherwise, it stands & will be followed through. El_C 00:32, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Where should this consensus be gathered? If the request does not follow policy, why should it stand as it is? Philip Baird Shearer 17:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone know where does one post a request to have a page like this one removed as it has not followed the policy guidelines for RfD? Philip Baird Shearer 09:55, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • further remarks I have serious doubts about the very possibility of a NPOV in many cases. See my remarks on the article's talk page. Too Old 17:18, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
  • Nearly all lists are shit. They are all too often POV -- for the reason stated by Doc glasgow (they apply one definition out of many possible). One person's tyrant is also another's benevolent prince. The big problem with pages like this is that they are sinkholes for shitstirring and editwarring. If I added George W. Bush, someone would take him off. If someone else added Fidel, I'd take him off. But I daresay we could each find someone somewhere who calls both a "tyrant". However, the problem is with the modern guys. Greek tyrants, I think, are not something we're liable to squabble over. There's a case for moving to List of classical Greek tyrants or something similar and editing out the modern stuff. Banning a page title just to avoid the POV pushing doesn't strike me as a great solution. But if it's that or this page, delete it has to be. Grace Note 08:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Graceful phraseology, Grace Note, but you could have said not worthwhile. El_C 00:37, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As I wrote on the talk page and mentioned higher up this page "I have created this list to move the modern POV out of the definitions of Tyrant and Tyrannicide and to create a list of ancient Tyrants. To be listed here they ought to meet the definition of Tyrant as defined on the Tyrant page.". All the modern tyrants appeared as a list in Tyrant. The list in Tyrannicide has been restored since I chopped it and includes Louis XVI of France. It is better to have the POV in one "sinkhole" than in the defining articls. Also the list now contains many people who were classical tyrants, so only one small section at the end will have POV if the editors of the page define tyrant to include modern ones. I think this is better than the solution proposed by those who whish to delete this page. Philip Baird Shearer 08:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


  • Keep. As long as the list of "tyrants" have citations then there is no way a list like this is "inherently POV". This type of issue has come several times before and I wish people would stop making the same mistake over and over and over. Pcb21| Pete 12:40, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Question - I don't think I understand your remark Pete, what type of citation would neutrally verify that some one was a tyrant? If I can find a few cites calling Bush or Blair tyrants, can I add those names? If this was a list of 'leaders who have been described as tyrants', then fair enough (although most leaders have been at some point). But the lable tyrant is just far too subjective. What criteria would we agree on? --Doc (?) 13:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
How about using the definition(s) given on the Tyrant page and altering that if it throws up too many matches with which you disagree? The other way to do it is to find definitions from respectable organisations/publications like people have done for the Definitions of terrorism article Philip Baird Shearer 17:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete POV original research. Not even accurate: only slightly more than 50% of Americans are Protestants[17], which hardly constitutes a "supermajority". --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:22, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Actually it is accurate. "Protestant heritage" (the term used in the article) is not the same as "Protestant by current religious affiliation", as you are trying to claim (many people who are not religious today are, e.g., the children or granchildren of Protestants, today they may identify themselves as non-religious but they are Protestant descent.) The fact is, it is indeed true that the large majority of people in the USA are of Protestant descent: perhaps 75%+ or so of US whites are Protestant or of Protestant descent, and almost all religiously affiliated US blacks are Protestants.
By that logic you may as well say that the vast majority of U.S. white Protestants are of "Catholic heritage" since their ancestors were Catholic before the Reformation. Or of "pagan heritage" since their ancestors were European pagans before Christianization. Likewise the vast majority of U.S. black Protestants are of Muslim or animist heritage. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 04:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sounds like the Angr fellow has it in for Protestants! Even if a bare majority, that's probably because many Americans are agnostic. Nobody really debates that there are more than twice as many Protestants as Catholics, or that Muslims and Jews are at most 2 or 3 percent. I'm ok to change author's supermajority to distinct majority, but Angr's assertion that America's heritage is Catholic is ignorant and probably shows some Anti-Protestant pro-Catholic bias.
LOL. I never said America's heritage is Catholic. I was using a reductio ad absurdum argument against the idea that people identify with the religion of their ancestors without practicing it themselves. I don't know what "religious heritage" you would call me, since my parents grew up Baptist, converted to Catholicism after they were married, then later converted again to the Episcopal Church (i.e. neither Catholic nor Protestant), into which I was baptized and of which I am still a practicing member. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 07:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Actually, from wikipedia, the name of your church is: "The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America". Many protestant churches (Lutheran) use the word Catholic, but they have not joined the Orthodox church and have broken with Rome, and most folks would call Episcopals Protestants.
Then it should be clear that I as an Episcopalian am not "anti-Protestant". --Angr/tɔk tə mi 19:20, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Julie Aberg Robison

Only notable as a town councillor. NatusRoma 21:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hardly intended to force another policy discussion by listing these articles. I only listed them as twelve different pages because past discussions on the VfD Talk page seemed to discourage bulk listing, and I only listed them at all because I happened to come across Jack W. Smith while sorting people stubs. To consider your example of the Toronto City Council, it seems to me that there is an order-of-magnitude difference between that council and the one on which Ms. Robison sits. Cary, North Carolina has just under 100,000 people, while Toronto has 2.48 million. I have not visited either municipality, but Toronto is far more important than Cary, a significance extended to its elected officials. Moreover, the subjects of articles in the Toronto council category have, in some cases, served in that body for decades, or have run for national office, or have done other, additional newsworthy things. Ms. Robison, by contrast, has served in her office for only a few years, and has done nothing additionally newsworthy. NatusRoma 06:52, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete, vanity. Was marked for speedy but doesn't meet conditions. FreplySpang (talk) 23:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete I don't see why this can't be speedy. It's just a longer version of "Tim is a great guy." I don't think we should give credit for verbosity. Vanity is vanity. --Xcali 23:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jenkins Boys Club Bears

Team vanity. Not notable. 0 google hits. --Xcali 23:19, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Not So. I've heard of these guys. They started a team when they all got cut. From savannah, GA. It's a nice story. Let 'em stay. --VandyMath05

Keep, this is a really great story. It's about keeping your head up, fighting through adversity, and making the best out of nothing. Not anything unlike a cheesy Disney movie, except in real life. I agree with Mr. VandyMath, let them stay. I heard about them through word of mouth (granted, I live 30 miles away from their hometown) and this is definitely something moving through the streets. RWallace31

Delete. Completely non-notable. It's not hard to conclude that VandyMath05 has some sort of connection to this "club", being this his or her first edit - and it being extremely unlikely that someone not involved with the club itself would know who they are with 0 Google hits.

[edit] Doulos SIL

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason given was "vanity/spam/link farm".

[edit] EYE Magazine

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 23:44, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Seems to be the international review of graphic design. Tentative keep unless proven non-notable; most published magazines are encyclopedic. Meelar (talk) 00:03, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is not a good stub because you can't tell what magazine the author is talking about. There is a design magazine with that name, still being published. There is also magazine with that name published in London for education of 0-5 year olds (EYE perhaps for "early years education"?). There have also apparently been a "a girlie magazine from the 1950s [and] a Canadian music magazine" [18]. It may be that the author is talking about Eye Magazine published by Hearst in 1968-1969 as their take on youth culture. Only 15 issues were published. It is difficult in any of these to see where the author came up with " published through 2001." Since there are many magazines with the name, I would delete this and wait for a real stub (or even better, a real article) on one of the magazines with that name. It's not our job to read the author's mind. - DS1953 00:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per DS1953. Jacob1207 01:16, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I can't see why this isn't a candidate for a speedy delete. SlimVirgin (talk) 03:43, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep EYE Magazine was a culture magazine, available in places like Tower Records, Barnes and Noble and the like, published in the late 1990s, through 2000. Its old website was http://www.eyemag.com. Apparently, several other magazines have born its name. 68.10.35.153 18:41, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pool party

another group of friends declares their lifestyle to be a movement. Ineffable, perhaps, but not encyclopedic. FreplySpang (talk) 23:57, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Excerpt: "Official Urniating: The Tinkle Official Bowell Movement: The Dump" I'm sure there could be a real article about pool parties, but we'd be better off deleting this one first.
