[edit] M4 Bus Route

I'd argue that very few bus routes, if any, are encyclopedic. I don't see how this one is any different from dozens of others in NYC, and countless others elsewhere in the world. Wikipedia is not a bus schedule. CDC (talk) 00:02, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - as above. --Orelstrigo 00:29, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, I hope WP never gets to the point where every bus schedule in the friggin' world is listed. --Deadcorpse 02:28, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• delete. why was this added? Avriette 03:41, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wouldn't this become out-of-date rather quickly anyway? I doubt someone would be quite bored enough to update this article every time this route changes. android↔talk 04:50, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Condense into a line or two and merge into something. --SPUI (talk) 05:11, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, agreed with other arguments. Bus routes aren't encyclopedic. Mgm|^(talk) 10:01, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. When I saw the title I thought it was goiing to be about the bus lane on the M4 Motorway in the UK, and was poised to suggest a redirect to there. However, just as you should never judge a book by its cover, you should neve judge a Wikipedia article by its title. Thryduulf 16:52, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete since individual bus routes are not encyclopedic. I could support a list of bus routes in New York, but not an individual article about each of them. Sjakkalle 06:30, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, since nothing in this articlec is worth merging into a wider article about New York buses. Chris 21:30, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, transitory, un-encyclopedic. -- Dcfleck 15:10, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

[edit] David Yang

Vanity, spam. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 00:09, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Appears to be a misplaced user page, but because of the content and since User:Yangdav has no contributions but this "article", I am not changing my vote. - Mike Rosoft 00:30, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but maybe give him the opportunity to make it his user page so that his effort wasn't wasted. --Deadcorpse 02:31, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• delete. on the other hand, i'm tempted to just make it his user page and speedy the original. Avriette 03:44, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 08:08, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Just userfy and be done with it. Mgm|^(talk) 10:02, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or Userfy (I like that term). I started a talk page for this article on 27 Mar 2005 and explained to it's authors, especially User:Yangdav, the difference between Article and User namespaces. I suggested that either he move (userfy) it or that someone would do it for him. I have not received a response. hydnjo talk 19:07, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No point making it his user page, he's not a user, having only come here once to create the article and never returning. He's not interested in contributing to Wikipedia, he's just spamming us with some self-promoting drivel. Make it a user page and we'll be providing him free hosting for his little bit of vanity. Just get rid of it. Amazing how many people blatantly ignore the warning: "Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business." — Trilobite (Talk) 20:36, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edmund Moubray Lyons

I'd say it was vanity, but this guy has probably been dead for at least a hundred years. Anyway, he's some guy who was in the Navy for eight years, and he's not notable. CDC (talk) 00:17, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I'd say delete, but do we have a policy on naval officers? Meelar (talk) 01:20, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment, he was a Captain in the Royal Navy, died in the Crimea War, has a memorial in St Pauls in London. His father Edmund Lyons is more famous/higher ranking and probably deserves an article, I'm unsure about this guy--nixie 01:35, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• keep. if somebody can clean this up, it's a bio-stub. i mean the article is ugly, but there's no reason to delete it. does he meet the criteria? Avriette 03:50, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment not sure about this one. Did he only get a memorial in St Paul's because his father was Commander in Chief of the fleet? Or does the line on his memorial having just returned from the command of the squadron in the Sea of Azov where his brilliant successes were warmly acknowledged by his Sovereign suggest some more notable achievement? Average Earthman 08:22, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to his father's article, unless notability further established. Being the son of a notable person does not make you inherently notable. Radiant_* 09:59, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep dead people with memorials in St Pauls. Kappa 11:05, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Died in battle in command of HMS Miranda while engaging the batteries of Sevastopol in the Crimean War. [1] The crew paid for the memorial at St Paul's. Capitalistroadster 12:07, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep and expand to establish notability as listed by Capitalistroadster. A memorial in St. Paul's with some vague peacock words does not automatically establish WP-worthy significance in my opinion, but it sounds like his actions, at least at Sevastopol, aroused considerable attention. Source material ought to contain more specifics that can be checked and added to the article. Perhaps a disambig between him and his father might be appropriate. 205.247.102.130 21:33, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Above vote was mine, not logged in. Barno 21:35, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth. --GRider\^talk 18:52, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• KeepI've categorised it. Article is incomplete and statement on length of service by the nominator is clearly incorrect. Wincoote 01:45, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --WikiFan04-^{Talk to me.} 20:21, 2 Apr 2005 (CST)
• Keep. Ridiculously bogus (non-policy) nomination and an example of non-criterion "notability" being measured by the breadth of the nominator's apparently wilful ignorance - David Gerard 09:47, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Crash martinez

Band vanity. Yes, they have albums, but if they're available 'exclusively through www.crashmartinez.com', that means they don't have a real label or distributor - anyone can make a CD. CDC (talk) 00:21, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, vanity. --Deadcorpse 02:34, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• delete. at least capitalize the "M" if you're going to write your own vanity page. Avriette 03:59, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, band vanity. Megan1967 08:10, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Star trek babies

The article claims that this is a "proposed" Star Trek spinoff, and has two supposed references - however both references are broken links. Unless there is some proof that this was proposed by an actual Star Trek producer (not just a fan), it should be deleted as speculation. Rhobite 00:40, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It already provides a link to an article on Memory Alpha, unneeded here. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:32, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Star Trek, other storylines. There is a TV subsection which this could possibly fit into. This is listed under [2] and TV series [3] as "Star Trek Babies":

"During the 1980's, a proposed animated series was in the works at Marvel Productions, then later moved to development at Hanna-Barbera. Series was similar in concept to "Muppet Babies," but with the crew of the original "Star Trek" series, reduced by a 'space cloud' to tots, though still with full knowledge and capability of running the Enterprise. Though concept sketches were undoubtedly produced, so far as TBTC has been able to determine, no actual footage or finished work was ever completed." On quite a few message boards I Googled, I notice there were rumours of a proposed Warner Brothers film that was discussed in in 1996 but ultimately scrapped. Megan1967 08:27, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• merge as per Megan1967. Thryduulf 16:54, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above although I vaguely remember this was an April Fool's Joke years ago. 23skidoo 21:48, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, more important than an article on a pokemon character. --Spinboy 23:54, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as it was never actually produced I don't think it warrants its own ST-series article --Hooloovoo 16:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Muds

even if this was verifiable (google returns nothing relevant), it would need to be hugely expanded. 213.78.90.5 00:42, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Shenzhou 12 has block-compressed revisions. – ABCD 01:53, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shenzhou 11 and Shenzhou 12

Chinese space missions that may be planned in the future, they are so unplanned that they do not appear in the Shenzhou spacecraft article and the only reference to them online (in english at least) is on Chinese space flight fan-fic type message boards. Doubtful they would go ahead since China expects to have their space shuttle operational after Shenzhou 10. Under the wikipedia is not a crystal ball guide line, I think they should be deleted--nixie 01:17, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: This article (in Chinese) from April 2004 mentions an official source that Shenzhou 8 through 11 will involve spacewalks and docking:[4].

Yeah, I suppose it exists out there somewhere, but I'm also sure there are people who are aroused by floor cleaner. Even if someone came up with a name for such a fetish and a supposed community around it, if it fails the Google test, it's just not worth listing.

[edit] Jade Solid Gold

Vanity/advertisement. Delete. Eric119 04:15, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, although the article doesn't specify what Jade Solid Gold is, a googling shows that it is probably a TV show in China. This article reads like a promotion, but I don't think it would belong in Wikipedia even if rewritten. -- Deadcorpse 05:53, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, show promo. Megan1967 08:39, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Never mind my merge vote above; looks good now. One thing to note: if an article on VfD would be well-served by a move, I know it's tempting to do it, but the VfD notice explicitly says not to do this; for one thing, it breaks the link from the article back to the VfD discussion, and IIRC it makes things slightly harder on the admin that carries out the consensus decision. android↔talk 22:55, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 08:45, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• "Unverifiable"? Google is your friend: [10], [11], [12] and more. Well, verifiably not Venetian: he works in Parma, as the article says. Parma is quite some way from Venice, and I don't know how Venice got into this at all. "Mis-titled"? Certainly, and I'd rush to retitle it, but this would throw a spanner into the VfD process. "Possible vanity"? Perhaps 70% or more of new articles are possible vanity, but what makes you think that the possibility here is more than negligible? Admittedly our man hasn't kicked a ball around in front of a US audience or appeared as a Pokemon character (two ironclad guarantees of notability in WP, it seems), but keep. -- Hoary 10:48, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)

[edit] Metagrobology

Dictionary def, with only 4 google hits. I'd say offer it to wiktionary but I'm not sure they'd want it because I'm not sure it's a real word. Dictionary.com has no definitions for it. RJFJR 05:48, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment not sure about Metagrobology (looks like someone just made up this word) but the study of puzzles is more commonly known as Enigmatology. I guess this article could be rewritten, renamed and transwikied to Wiktionary as there is currently no entry for Enigmatology. Megan1967 08:50, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • There is now: Wiktionary:enigmatology. I suggest as a general principle that we do not construct dictionary articles in Wikipedia with the aim of giving them to Wiktionary. It is my experience that this does not work. In my experience, Wiktionary (with suitable prompting) can come up with dictionary articles from scratch in days that are far better than what Wikipedia can grow in months or even (in some cases) years. Uncle G 12:25, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
• Wiktionary would classify this as a protologism. If you think that people will look up the term, Redirect to enigmatology, where this subject is already (not) covered. Otherwise Delete, since there is nothing of encyclopaedic value to retain. Uncle G 12:25, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
• Comment, well if this is a neologism I'm not sure a redirect would be appropriate since it is a "made up" word. Megan1967 06:27, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I am the original writer of this article. I thought it was worth adding as it does appear from time to time in my trade (puzzles). The eminent David Singmaster always calls himself a metagrobologist, and "metagrobologist" gets 194 hits on Google, not 4.

[edit] Number 777

Shouldn't this be deleted or re-written? I think it should because of its heavily religious standpoint that might cheer some, but offend others. --WikiFan04 13:02, 26 Mar 2005 (CST)

• Comment: this looked like a copyvio [13], but the site says its stuff is in the public domain. The topic is worthy of an article, but nevertheless, the article is unwikified and POV. This should be edited, not deleted. --bainer 09:09, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Move → Number of the divine and cleanup. The variety of biblical referrences justifies a numerology article on the subject (see Number of the Beast (numerology)), but the name Number 777 conflicts with all the other number articles. --Allen3 13:57, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• I don't see too much salvageable here. It's hopelessly POV, and almost all the references it makes are to the number 7, not 777. Reads like the sort of religious dogma that turns everything around to prove black is white. Anything that is slightly useful can be moved/merged to 777 (number). -R. fiend 06:18, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

An Encourager is the counterpart to a gainer and somewhat similar to a feeder. It is a term usually only used in the gay male community of the fat admiration subculture, or so we read. Well it certainly is a rum old world. Sorry, I mean delete as a gaymalefatadmirationcruft dicdef. -- Hoary 10:14, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)

• Delete. I am myself a member of the "gay male community of the fat admiration subculture" (known more succinctly as the "chubby and chaser community") and I've never heard this term. --Angr 12:32, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete A neologism of a subculture of a subculture of a subculture which may as quickly disappear. Paradiso 10:45, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It would be a mistake to delete this page. Even though not everyone in that community may have heard the term it is certainly used and I have seen it mentioned on various sites for a number of years now. The number of links with references to "encourages" in the article proves that the term is quite widely used and has existed for some time now. The gay male community of the fat admiration subculture or chubby and chaser community has many, many sites, which shows that it is very large and like the term Encourager will probably exist as long as the internet does. This term is also mentioned in the Gainer article, which was written by someone else, and has an observation in the discussion page about its use by gays in the fat admiration community. If the description of the community is disliked it can be changed without deleting the article, though I do feel that is the most accurate way to describe it. To delete this article would be denying the proven fact that Encourager is a used term. -- dannyzau ...Actually not by User:dannyzau (a WP impossibility) or User:Dannyzau (who doesn't exist, or anyway has contributed nothing) but instead created in a series of edits by User:210.49.177.42 (contributions), the same IP number that was used to create the article.
  • Comment: 210.49.177.42, I think you'll agree that discouragement (let's say) is a widely used term in English, and indeed that it's vastly wider known than is encourager in your special sense. But it doesn't have an article, because it's merely a word, and WP is not a dictionary. (Meanwhile, Wiktionary is.) I've no idea why this subculture needs more than one article, rather than Fat admirer, Feeder (fetish), Feedee, Encourager, and perhaps more. -- Hoary 10:59, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)

[edit] spack

There's no such specific person/place/concept/thing as a spack, and therefore no encyclopaedia article to be had. This isn't sexual slang, either. It's just yet another pejorative word, like twunt, but derived in this case from spastic. I transwikied this to Wiktionary:Transwiki:Spack yesterday. It should be indicative that the subsequent edits to the Wikipedia article today were simply to add stuff that would go in the "Related words" section of the dictionary article.

• 20:18, Mar 31, 2005 RickK deleted "Fort Bleakeley" (hoax article, vandalized repeatedly, past its time to be deleted)

[edit] Fort Bleakeley

This article looks like a hoax to me. I smell a rat, in any case. The intro paragraph reads: "Fort Bleakeley is an isolated research facility on the west coast of Canada privately owned by Thunderstorm Corporations. It is currently in charge of the three orbiting satellite projects Prometheus, Icarus, and Mercurius. Its location is undisclosed, these projects being secret." "Fort Bleakeley" doesn't Google, nor does "Thunderstorm Corporations". Any Canadians out there who can confirm the existence of this "fort"? If not, then delete. --Plek 12:57, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Point well taken, my dear Bearcat, but the fact remains that we don't have a website and probably will not till Kingdom come. I suggest looking up the sources I listed. Or have one of you stubborn Wikipedians go some 500 miles north of Vancouver Island. Then you can decide if it's a hoax or not. I'm not saying it is. That's why, admins, save us all the trouble and delete this article swiftly. That's one more vote for a speedy. Do us all a favor and end this. Now.

This is (hopefully) the last message from 84.154.85.194. At least you haven't found my other articles. Yet.

The result of the debate was delete Graham Maule and keep John L. Bell. ugen64 23:47, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] John L. Bell and Graham Maule

These two articles are about people who have no notability outside of the Iona Community, which itself seems to be of borderline notablity. I was tempted to just merge the information in the article on the community, however I don't think that what is already there needs to be expanded. I am making this one vote rather than two, because I can't see anyone voting to keep or delete one and not the other. Thryduulf 16:41, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete both. Under the bar of notability, reads like vanity. Megan1967 06:40, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete both, sure. Sounds like stupidity. --Dbsanfte 17:31, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep although the article on John L. Bell should be merged with John Lamberton Bell, which is, I assure people, the same person. I suggest his full name should be treated as primary. Wikipedians in the USA should be cautious about what counts as notability in a British context. PatGallacher 00:07, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
  • For the record I'm British and neither are at all notable as far as I'm concerned. The John Lamberton Bell sounds like it might be the same person, but as there are no links to the same articles I'm not sure. That article needs a rewrite to sound less like vanity as well. Thryduulf 08:34, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I assure you they are the same person, I have met him a handful of times. The Lord Rector of Glasgow University article has a list of people who held the post, with links to a lot of them, I suggest all rectors, or at least all those within living memory, are inherently notable. Should I go ahead and copy the contents of John L. Bell to John Lamberton Bell? Or would that disrupt the VFD process? PatGallacher 10:55, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
      • You can certainly merge the info from John L. Bell to John Lamberton Bell without disrupting the VfD process. I wouldn't object to changing the former article to a redirect either, but until others have commented I think you should only add a link to it and alter the Iona Community link as well. Can you clarify what your opinion on the Graham Maule article is. Thryduulf 11:41, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I've had second thoughts, he's sometimes known as John L. Bell, seldom by his full name, although we do need to disambiguate him from other John Bells on Wikipedia. I have therefore merged the contents of John Lamberton Bell with John L. Bell, turned the former into a redirect, and changed the link on Lord Rector of Glasgow University and John Bell disambiguation (although I realise this last change wasn't strictly necessary). I now vote to keep John L. Bell (although maybe it could still do with some tidying up) and delete Graham Maule (unless somebody comes up with something more notable about him, he seems to be less important of the 2 even in relation to the Iona Community). PatGallacher 12:34, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
  • • Keep John L. Bell as he was once rector of Glasgow University, for which there is an article: Lord Rector of Glasgow University. This alone makes him fairly noteworthy in my opinion, as does much of his work with the Church of Scotland. Not so sure about other article though. Big Jim Fae Scotland 11:09, 11 Apr 2005

*Delete. IF massively cleaned up, good sources provided, and a good definition of the criterion for strongest is given, it could be a merge and redirect to whatever is the strongest muscle. Oddly enough Google searches do return many casual and unsourced statements about the tongue being "the strongest." Other frequently mentioned candidates for "strongest muscle" are the masseter, the heart, and the external muscles of the eye. I'd have guessed masseter for maximum force per cross-sectional area, heart for maximum sustained work output per mass, and external eye muscles for maximum instantaneous power per mass. I'd have to think that the uterus in childbirth would be in the running, too. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:08, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I rewrote it. It could use a lot more work, but in its present form it presents the claims of seven different muscles (Quadriceps, Masseter, Gluteus maximus, Uterus, External muscles of the eye, Tongue, Heart) to be considered the "strongest," with at least some kind of reference for each claim and brief explanations, where known, of what criterion is being used.

[edit] Darkmotion

Subject is a poster to a gaming site forum, seems like it violates the policy regarding vanity pages, delete. Rx StrangeLove 22:14, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Newbie Wiki here, but I'd like to mention Darkmotion isn't affiliated with this entry as far as I know. The article wasn't written by me wholly, but the majority of its content was. I can assure you neither me nor the original poster are the subject of the entry. As such, this Wiki entry does not appear to violate the deletion policy. In response to fiend, I'll have you know that I can definitively draw a link to Darkmotion and the President of the United States, given enough degrees. How many people can say that?! -Valeo 05:47, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh yeah? Well, what if I told you that Darkmotion is the U.S. President? Indeed, that would make this article a stunning revelation and thus not worthy of deletion. Now give me some time to prove (read: falsify) it. Valeo 06:55, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Appears to be just another guy who leaves messages on message boards (regardless of who wrote the article). Wow, there aren't alot of guys who did that now, are there. -R. fiend 05:52, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Also, note that I can draw a link from myself to the Prez, via a friend's friend who works at the State Department. Where's my article? -R. fiend 06:49, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Fiend. Radiant_* 09:08, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Greetings,

I'm the Darkmotion in question, and i'd say Delete. Not because the subject is not worthy of an article, but mostly because it's not all that accurate. I link Wiki a lot when i post (to help people understand concepts or big words), hence this entry i'm sure. *bows to Valeo*

Sorry about the disturbance.

Have Fun ! ™

[edit] Homeless friendly society

Original research--phrase gets zero hits. Someone seems to have mistaken Wikipedia for WikiEditorial. I don't exactly disagree with this opinion paper, but I don't believe an opinion paper belongs in an encyclopedia. Niteowlneils 23:30, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I disagree with your comment. If you did a search on the work "wikipedia" just a few years ago, you would NOT be able to find it, but this word is now one of the most popular words these days. So, if you or any places you do not see the phrase like homeless friendly society, you may see it in a few years later when my Ph.D dissertation published. {unsigned by article creator User:67.85.73.41--Niteowlneils 02:57, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)}

[edit] Market analysis for product software

Original research. Non encyclopedic. --Woohookitty 23:58, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. As with Tradeoff between time-to-market and quality, there seems to be very little in this article that could qualify as original research. The author of both articles has written more articles on marketing, and while I have doubts myself whether marketing is a science it most certainly is encyclopedic. This article deserves a number of cleanup tags (and probably a name change), but I don't see VfD material here. Rl 07:22, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.

On 12 April, the article was blanked by the primary contributor. While this is an old management theory, Christofurio's statement of balancing three objectives (cost, time and quality) is the normal formulation. This particular article strikes me as a student paper - sourced but not yet encyclopedic. Since the normal formulation would be a three-way balance, the title is not correct for the eventual article that we ought to write. I'm going to call this one as a delete, in part because of the author's page blanking. Rossami (talk) 04:46, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tradeoff between time-to-market and quality

Original research. Non-encyclopedic. --Woohookitty 00:00, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Virtually every sentence comes with a reference from a peer-reviewed journal attached; how is this original research? I also fail to see how management science is not encyclopedic. The article certainly needs work, but VfD is not cleanup. Rl 07:10, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
