[edit] Chen Zhe

No claim to special fame or influence. It had a cleanup-importance tag for a while. Kappa 01:09, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Although "crushed orange juice" is a cool name. Quale 02:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 05:23, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as per Megan1967. (Also as per Quale--Crushed Orange Juice is a cool name.)--Jacobw 14:45, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete a father named "crushed orange juice" is pretty notable. Klonimus 01:13, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, the person who is supposed to be "crushed orange juice" coincidentally bears the same name as the president of Taiwan. Unfortunately, Chen Shuibian does not mean "crushed orange juice".Iluvchineselit 16:02, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense. Speedy it in fact. Chameleon 16:31, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete CiChuan? Chen Shuibian? delete asap.

[edit] Wiki-time

Looks like a neologism, and doesn't have any meaning different from "wiki" + "time", so I don't recommend transiki-ing to wiktionary. Kappa 01:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Wikiholic. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 02:04, 2005 May 2 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism, dicdef. Quale 02:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Mr. Paul Morrison  ;-) - Svest 04:21, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Wikiholic. Megan1967 05:24, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A quick google does turn up uses of the phrase "wiki-time," but with enough inconsistancy of meaning and context to suggest that it doesn't have any commonly accepted meaning. (And, of course, even if it did, the appropriate place for it would be wiktionary.) --Jacobw 14:49, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• This seems to be a neologism. Maybe a delete could be prudent. --SuperDude 06:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not encyclopedic and not needed. Wikiholics and many wiki users will know what it means without an entry.--WCFrancis 18:50, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] passwird.com

Advertisement. silsor 01:24, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Advertising websites may be notable, but there is no evidence that this one is. --Jacobw 14:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Reasonably encyclopedic subject, verifiable article. Evidence that, while it isn't exactly e-Bay, it's in fairly wide use. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment from anon (User:132.236.209.126: I do not believe this article should be deleted. How is passwird.com any different than EBay or Froogle. Both those sites are the same as Passwird.com. They find deals and post them for you. Froogle is most like passwird.com and there is a Froogle wikipedia link. Froogle allows you to find deals for certain products. Passwird automates this for you. The site makes no money and is made to simply help others find bargains online just like Froogle.

Please consider this before deleting this page. I believe this page should be kept online.

• response to anon: eBay is an auction site not a list of bargains and has entered the public consciousness (i.e. people know about it without having ever used it themselves). Froogle, although not as widespread at the moment, is part of the ever-expanding Google empire. Both are therefore notable. Passwird.com is a website where a student is trying to make money from affiliate links. Not notable. 'Delete. SteveW | Talk 01:01, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• 930 Google hits, 88 links. Delete as advertisement for a non-notable site. --Carnildo`

• Delete, as per Quale, Lotsofissues, and Megan1967. If for some odd reason this is kept, it should be transwiki'd to Wiktionary, and given a thorough scrubbing to remove the heavy POV. But first choice is to get rid of it, until and unless the word actually achieves some common currency. --Jacobw 14:57, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Not notable Svest 02:27, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• The entire content was "see Panda", which I speedy deleted. Even more confusing than the "article" was this vfd. There wasn't any content by which notability could even be assessed. Postdlf 02:45, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and wikify. There are numerous station articles on wikipedia. This is no different from any of the others apart from being a mess to look at. --Randolph 02:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as above. Kappa 03:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep N-Man^talk 20:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Updated article is good and encyclopedic. Even if it were a stub, radio stations have notability in part because of their limited number. Quale 22:17, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WKTG (FM)

Delete doesn't seem notable at all.Sensation002 02:29, 2 May 2005 (UTC) edit/sorry i forgot to sign. i will rescind my vote but i thought that radio stations were under vanity.

• Keep. Wikipedia has plenty of articles on radio stations. Georgia guy 01:00, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is one of many radio station articles. I see no reason to delete this one. --Randolph 02:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The article creator has removed the vfd notice. --Randolph 02:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. The process has started now, so we might as well finish it. I've listed this page on Votes for deletion and I'll replace the vfd notice. --Randolph 02:50, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep licensed radio stations. Kappa 03:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it, of course. If deletionists think VfD is too crowded, and inclusionists that too many notable subjects are nominated, surely we can agree on a way to quickly get thought-better-of non-candidates out of the queue more quickly? Samaritan 05:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep VfD Killed the Radio Star. Klonimus 06:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep N-Man^talk 20:25, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The updated article is already slightly useful, and it seems an article on any full-power radio station would be worth keeping even if only a stub. Quale 22:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable radio station. Nothing that can't be dealt with in the town's article. Gamaliel 09:39, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep please Yuckfoo 00:37, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep all radio stations SchmuckyTheCat 00:15, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Should be moved to WKTG-FM to conform to other station articles. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 09:40, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as merely one of a zillion radio stations, one for which no notability whatever has been hinted at. On the other hand, if there is some policy to keep all radio stations, well, keep it. And if there is no such policy, there shouldn't be -- after all, the majority of radio stations (with a great number of honorable, encyclopedic exceptions) are uninteresting businesses that pump out muzak and advertising. -- Hoary 08:28, 2005 May 8 (UTC)

[edit] Sharyn clough

She is a professor of mine at Oregon State University. She is all into feminist philosophy, philosophy of science, and some pragmatism. She's pretty cool I'd say. Delete the article as it stands; though if this VfD inspires some person or persons to improve this article on this cool prof, that's cool too. (I'll revisit the page later and may change my vote.) -- Hoary 04:35, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

• Delete. Even if the subject is notable, there's nothing in this worth saving. Quale 04:43, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's an orphan article so there is no pressing need for an article on this professor. I could put in the basics on her position at Oregon University, but it would still be an orphan article. --Randolph 04:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Incorrectly titled and has no useful content. While I tend to be on the inclusionist side when it comes to academics, that is for articles that have content. Also, she's an assistant professor rather than a full professor (i.e. in a post that wouldn't be called a professor in Europe). Average Earthman 08:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Inspired by this VfD, I've revised the article to conform to Wikipedia standards. I hope Hoary won't be offended if I respectfully say that, if my doing so inspires him to rewrite articles in the future rather than putting them up for VfD, that would be cool, too! The time it took me to google Prof Clough and rewrite the article was probably no more time than it took to put the article up for VfD. --Jacobw 15:25, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • PS: I haven't retitled the article to give it proper capitalization, since one isn't supposed to move articles that are up for VfD. Perhaps when the VfD concludes, if the vote is "keep", the admin can move the article to its proper place.
    • Hey, that's cool, Jacobw. Even cooler if the nitwits oh-so-biteable newbies who create "articles" such as this would do so themselves. But undergraduates write the durnedest things! If I may quote our heroine: Teaching 20 year olds every year will either keep us young, or drive us insane, or some combination of the two. -- Hoary 15:58, 2005 May 2 (UTC)
    • Comment. At the request of Jacobw, I've revisted this article and looked it over. I still find it runs close to the wire on notability. I've been looking for reviews of her publications and haven't found anything interesting. I did find a small mention of her in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[4], under the Analytic Feminism section[5]. One of her publications is listed in the bibliography and she is mentioned once in the article,

"In addition to Langton and her colleagues' work on pornography that uses philosophy of language mentioned above, other analytic work on language can be found, for example, in Hintikka and Hintikka (1983), Nye (1998), Tanesini (1994), Hornsby (2000), and Clough (2003)."

I also found some neat pics of a trip to Sweden for a International Women Philosophers convention/seminar on her home page, but that might not qualify as notability. ;) --Randolph 16:05, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: rewritten page still doesn't seem very notable. Orphan page with no inbound links (except for VfD) and only one outbound. OK, she's an associate professor and a feminist scholar. No information on what degrees she holds, whether she has won any awards, if she edits a notable journal, whether her work has been cited by other scholars, etc. Still not notable. Quale 18:52, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

  • An article on virtually anyone employed by a university would have room for expansion and 'organic growth' (even myself). Average Earthman 08:47, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. She is a published professor with two books: Siblings under the skin: Feminism, social justice, and analytic philosophy and Beyond epistemology: a pragmatist approach to feminist science studies on LOC. Megan1967 04:50, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article does not establish notability beyond that of an average professor. Gamaliel 09:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:40, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedia is not paper. Sheldrake 19:05, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Nor is it toilet paper. Nor is it a place to have an article on every college student's favorite professor/faculty member, nor is a place to have an article on every worker's favorite boss. RickK 22:08, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Denice Cassaro

Note for Anonymous users (voters): Please bear in mind, as stated by Bearcat below: the unsigned votes of non-users can be (and usually are) disregarded in the final tally. Svest 00:21, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

With all respects to Ms. Cassaro, I don't think she's notable enough to be included in Wikipedia at this time. Kelly Martin 05:49, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, non-notable. Quale 05:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Crap. Postdlf 05:58, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. With all respects to LGBT's, I just wonder why a Topical Interest Groups Co-chair of Community Development of Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender Issues at Cornell University called Ms. Cassaro couldn't mention her title! Because of the reason of not mentioning that, I vote delete. Indeed, it's vanity and non-notable. Svest 06:00, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Denice is notable for bombarding the undergraduates with emails about campus events. Every single person who has been an undergrad at cornell for the past 8 years knows Denice very well, that makes her notable to about 100,000 or more people. Much more notable than many minor politicians or schools. Klonimus 06:51, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Klonimus is notable for bombarding the VfD page with extreme inclusionist votes with questionable logic. That doesn't mean Klonimus meets standards to have a WP article. Delete this article, notability not established, not even close to having it suggested. Barno 16:02, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Inclusionism is not a crime. If you look at my votes you will see that I often vote to delete. Klonimus 01:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
      • The same applies to the extreme exclusionist votes by mister Klo. More than I agree with Barno, I see you deserve an entry in WP rather than her. We accept to include an e-mailer and exclude notable articles just because of non reasonable POVs. Cheers and respect Svest 01:39, May 3, 2005 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up}.
        • Please do. Klonimus the inconsistant inclusionist Klonimus 01:42, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
          • No, I'd rather go for Klonimus the inconsistant exclusionist. See?! The proof is that you excluded my signature (I know it was unintentionally). I replaced back on its right place. ;-) Cheers and respect Svest 01:54, May 3, 2005 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up}.
            • Neither inclusionism nor exclusionism is a crime or sin. Klo is noted for votes that include/exclude all of a category that isn't policy, similar to many of Kappa's votes, rather than explaining what fact about the topic meets what policy. That doesn't make him encyclopedically significant enough for an article. If Ms. Cassaro is a mailbot as suggested below, I doubt that's pioneering enough or widely enough noted for an article. Its contents as it stand show no reason to differentiate Ms. Cassaro from hundreds of other shills doing a job that has an impersonal feather-touch upon the e-mail accounts of a few thousand people in one place. Do the students at Cornell's joint projects in places like Hong Kong have their educational experience revolutionized by the name on their internal announcements? Barno 15:46, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, i hope we don't start accepting e-mailers as wp material, since the world is full of (your company/university here) with notable e-mailers. Feydey 07:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC).
• Delete. I don't buy Klonimus's reason for keeping a person whose main claim to notability is writing e-mails. Sjakkalle 09:00, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Cornell University - she should get no more than a line in that article. The school, of course is notable. To students attending the school in recent years, she may be notable. To the rest of the world... not there yet. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 18:28, 2005 May 2 (UTC)
• Is there a university (or even a little community college) that does not have a communications person publicizing current happenings and housing? Would Cornell lose its prestige if this person didn't make the entire community aware of for-sale items? I work in Ithaca and subscribe to the Ithaca Journal; I can tell you that this person isn't locally notable to a non-student, so I can't see how she'd be notable in a broader context. No change of vote. Barno 19:04, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, notability not established. Martg76 19:43, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, notability not established. Sietse 20:27, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, (author's vote) notability is established by over 18000 undergraduates (and probably another 18000 graduated students) knowing Denice by e-mail address, not her face. Her reputation is very wide reaching, and she performs an important role in community development, much like a town crier of the days of yore. Would more information and research be useful in placing this article in the keep pile? Opakapaka 23:18, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • You're all attempting to do exactly what we were warned not to do during freshmen orientation - Don't delete Denice
• Delete. Sockpuppet limit has been breached. RickK 23:33, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• In Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Paul Eastlund, no less than RaD Man, GRider and I were among those voting to delete the editor of the Cornell Review. This can't be promising. My friend at Cornell says: "Apparently she's in charge of a mailing list. I'd delete it -- no sense in making her job follow the poor woman around." Samaritan 00:25, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Denice Cassaro is far far more notable than anyone or anything associated with the cornell review. More people read Denice Cassaro's emails than read the Cornell Review. Klonimus 01:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Is Denice Cassaro more notable than Ann Coulter? Gamaliel 09:34, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• The fact that someone so important is not mentioned on Cornell's article really surprises me. Non-notable. Delete - SteveW | Talk 01:16, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Denice is a bit different than her opposite number at other universities. She's got a cult following and she's got undeniable charisma. That woman is going places. Cakedamber 03:40, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Charisma? My brother got one too. Who are her opposite number at other universities that are listed in WP? Cheers and respect Svest 03:45, May 3, 2005 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up}
• Keep Denice is definately a person of myth and legend here at Cornell University. Everyone knows the name but few actually know who she is. --Xtreambar 04:10, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete due to non-notability and sockpuppet activity. Perhaps a small mention in the trivia section of the Cornell article, but I'd have to see significant evidence of notability beyond the campus before I could vote to keep on a subject like this. Gamaliel 09:28, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Klonimus voted "keep". --Carnildo 23:40, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons stated. There was also an organized attempt at Cornell to disrupt this site. Let's not feed these trolls more than necessary. - Lucky 6.9 22:47, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep cleanup and expand, borderline notability. Megan1967 11:29, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• ^{Keep Keep it!!! Denice Cassaro is one and only.. it would be a disgrace to take her down!}
• ^{Keep! She is a part of the Cornell experience and there is no reason to delete her entry. She plays a huge part in the communication of the Cornell community. She is a fine example of journalism making the entire campus aware of the current happenings, housing and for sale items.}
  • ^{Above vote is the first (and only) contribution by 128.253.98.143, cast 17:33, 2005 May 2. -- BDAbramson thimk 18:28, 2005 May 2 (UTC)}
• Excuse me - but I've asked other undergraduates to put in their opinion on Denice. They, unfortunately, do not have screennames. This fault doesn't come under the category of sock votes (which would imply that I am commenting as more than one user); instead it is merely like an author attempting to rally for the support and expression of opinions of the people he knows. Opakapaka 02:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • The definition of "sock puppets" includes "people who've never contributed to Wikipedia except in an attempt to stack a VfD vote"; the unsigned votes of non-users can be (and usually are) disregarded in the final tally. Bearcat 03:47, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The article is false. Denice is not human, she is a self-aware artificial intelligence.
• Keep - She's important, notable. It can be edited so it's not vain, and we needn't sacrifice much by way of length. JP vote from 128.253.240.204

[edit] What is said in the main article

Let's be objective and talk about the article before Cassaro. This is what the article says:

• ...a name on the mass e-mails sent to every student... What is so special? Cc, Bcc!
• ...all freshmen are told during orientation week: Don't delete Denice... IMHO, I am freshman of WP and therefore I am not scared to delete it neither it would be funny if I don't!
• ...rivaling even Cornell Information Technologies (CIT), the mother of Cornell cyberspace... Why not become a CIT Mother of Cornell cyberspace herself? How come Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) got no entry in WP?
• I am not going to discuss the paragraph called The following because it is just a following of the above.
• ...Denice is in fact a real, warm-blooded human being. Residential Advisors (RAs) and various groups have often invited her to dinner... ;-) No comment!
• ...Residents were eager to shake her hand and make her acquaintance... Why not become a Mayor as she's notable than many minor politicians or schools as Klomimus claims above?

This is vanity before anything else! Svest 04:16, May 3, 2005 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up}.

Keep it! As an undergrad at Cornell, I will remember her name FOREVER

Keep it. It's harmless, and very true. And meaningful to some.

You see in the opposing system to communism ,Capitalism , people can work very little but get paid very much. Now ,you may see this as an oppertunity but let me assure you it is not, for only 10% of people have 60% of the worlds wealth between them"

[edit] Paul Cuisset

President of Delphine Software. That's it. Delete, unless we're told something ever so slightly interesting about him. -- Hoary 06:51, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

• The wiki article on Delphine Software says it shut down in 2004 and says he was "company lead designer". But unless someone can expand on him, delete it. Grev 07:45, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete as just another not-sufficiently-notable failed entrepreneur. Some of the company's games are well-known enough to have gotten WP articles or redirects, but that doesn't persuade me that the bankrupt company should keep an article or keep redirects among its erstwhile names. I'm definitely not persuaded that the former "company lead designer" and president (was he also the cook and chief bottle-washer?) is encyclopedic. Barno 19:52, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. It seems that everything notable about him is already on the Delphine Software. If he has no notability outside that context, this article must go. Quale 22:25, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• What's wrong with redirecting to Delphine Software? RickK 23:34, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • There's lots wrong with redirect. If he's not notable enough for an article on his own, he's not notable enough for a redirect. In the future, if WP has an article on a notable Paul Cuisset then the redir will force a disambig. Good editorial taste in an encyclopedia doesn't just consist of everything you add — what you choose leave out is just as important. Quale 03:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kensington Town Hall

No information about where it is, either (the only places listed as having both Kensington and Flemington are Pennsylvania and New South Wales, but that was after a search - there's no info here about it). So ambiguous and non-notable as to almost warrant a speedy. Grutness|^hello? 07:05, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I corrected the links and added the dates during which it was a town hall. It perhaps has an intersting past which needs input from someone in Victoria--Rjstott 07:28, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Better, though I'm still not totally convinced. Perhaps I should list Kensington, Victoria at Kensington_(disambiguation), since it's not listed there... Grutness|^hello? 07:48, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• It might merit an article if it was architecturally or historically important, but if it is the article gives us no clue about it. A decent article would also need a photo. Unless the author is willing to expand it, it should be deleted. Adam 10:05, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. The most notable Kensington Town Hall is in London. I don't know whether it might be notable enough and I doubt very much on the evidence before us that the Melbourne one is. Capitalistroadster 11:32, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Ambi 13:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, even as a Melburnian, I've never heard of this. After a brief period as a town hall (for a now defunct town) it's just a private building. Compare Brunswick Town Hall. --bainer 13:38, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• If it is a private building of no architectural or public significance, delete. Private buildings, unless significant, should not have articles lest they be blatant advertisements for the private owners and/or occupiers. There does, however, seem soom potential in this article.--Cyberjunkie 14:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, neo-acronym, not in widespread use and not significant to the general public nor to any field of knowledge. "Foreign" in terms of "not being used in the USA" (substitute "UK" or "Canada" or even "Australia") is not a valid reason for deletion, although "not used in English-language speaking or writing" could be, since this is the English-language edition of WP, with separate content from the Deutsche-language version.

[edit] Kenneth Bernhardsen

I found 6 Google hits for the name "Kenneth Bernhardsen", but I doubt they concern him. (No hablo el Norwegian, so I can't tell for sure, but most of the hits seem to be lists of names, high school sports rosters, that kind of thing.) Anyway, on the off chance this isn't a hoax, it's at least about a non-notable subject. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 08:16, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

One other thing: The author, 195.1.15.179, keeps trying to add this article to April 29 and 1988. His other edits are vandalism. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 08:32, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I feel that if this article was to stay it needs to include a lot more information as to why "Kenneth Bernhardsen" is of such importance. Although it says he is a healer, solid facts is needed to substantiate this claim.
• Delete, it's a player of the Azeroth game (some think he's a bot or cheat/hack user, the article claims), with birth location listed as a fictional place in that fictional world. Vanity, gamecruft, no potential to become encyclopedic. Barno 20:17, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was to delete, but as the content has already been merged, and the consensus minimal, I will leave it as a REDIRECT to James Shepherd Freeman. Feel free to list on Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion if you disagree. Postdlf 23:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] James Freeman

Google doesn't seem to have heard of him. He's categoried as a Secy of Labor, but Labor's never heard of him. He was asked by Reagan, and then -- nothing? Also delete redirects leading to him. He may be real, but we need references. --Golbez 08:24, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless somebody can verify this—I couldn't. The two other Freemans added by this IP are real enough, but this one smells like a hoax. If he had been such a "prominent corporate and political figure", something should turn up. Also, the way this article is linked from Shirley Temple and Union Carbide makes me less than confident that this article is for real. He allegedly dated Temple when his father was posted in Hawaii—before World War II, i.e. before 1942. In 1942, he would have been 16 years old, Temple 14... Barely possible, but still... Lupo 15:24, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unverifiable, hoax. Megan1967 04:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment, I have long been acqainted with the Freeman family - specifically with the late Jim Freeman Jr. - and submitted the related articles while I was working on a project for the Walker County (Alabama) Historical Society. The family has done an enormous amount of good for the community of Jasper and the state of Alabama - as well as the city and state of New York (where they raised their children on Park Ave. and in White Plains), and while they remain a generous and somewhat legendary local entity, I suppose Jim Freeman's (James Freeman Jr.) entry doesn't qualify for placement with wikipedia. While his information is accurate (he was indeed asked by Reagan to serve as Labor Sec, but declined in favor of retirement/ also, did date Ms. Shirley Temple as a young, fifteen year old teenager while she was filming a movie on location in Hawaii - the relationship being more interesting than notable), his work with Union Carbide - and a socially/politically connected life - hardly qualifies him as an encyclopedic article. His heritage was quite distinguished (did in fact drop out of the naval academy, however, using his father's connections had the dismissal recorded as "medical"/ after rejecting a military career, followed more in his grandfather's footsteps of business and politics), and while the family's legacy continues to some extent, I will surrender the entry for deletion. My reason for such an awkwardly long comment here is that, after by chance coming across the "up for deletion" message on his page, I wanted to explain the submission of his bio in the first place - out of respect. Thank you for the work you do, I think this is a fantastic reservoir of information. --Original Author 08:17, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. I appreciate the author's thoughtful and judicious comments as well as his or her contribution of research. The story of Mr. Freeman is of interest, but his notability is primarily through family connections. I propose merging his biographical information into James Shepherd Freeman.

Article claims that Beanaby is a portmanteau of Beanie Baby, and on Feb 13 was tagged need-to-verify. Google turns up no hits for beanaby other than WP mirrors, and eBay has none for sale.

This is at least 90% a hoax, if not entirely - Barranco Hondo doesn't exist as a Spanish football team for starters. This shows some bizarre editing by the creator of the article. Whether there is a real Pablo Díaz I'm not sure, but if there is, this ain't him. sjorford →•← 10:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of user interface markup languages

I believe that this piece of information is best served with the User interface markup languages category. So, for redundancy's sake of redundancy, I propose that this article is deleted and all the references made by it may be preserved by the inclusion of the articles in that category. Mecanismo 11:21, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep. Nothing wrong in this article. An article gives a different (more flexible) view other category. If we delete this article, all the articles in Category:Lists of software need to be deleted as well. No. --minghong 11:24, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't see anything wrong with this either. — JIP | Talk 11:43, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The article is redundant. Wikipedia has it's way of creating lists which has the ability to automatically group new articles in a category. Because a wikipedia's category can also serve as an article (it holds text and automatically groups the articles), the hand-made lists are a very poor way of doing things. So, to enforce wikipedia's way of doing things and to clean it up in the process, the deletion of this article in favour of a category listing is the right thing to do. --Maciel 11:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • This is the same person that wrote the original request. Not everyone may notice it, because he altered his signature. At least I didn't until now. -Hapsiainen 13:21, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
    • I didn't altered the signature. The signature appears this way by default. I just press the "your signature and timestam" and the signatureappears this way. And, if you look carefully, why would I want to conceal my identity while signing all the posts with a reference to my user page? And on top of that, the administrators can compare IPs and my entries are all made by the same IP. --Maciel 18:02, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry, this is my fault. Mecanismo wrongly put marked the page as "pending delete" and speedy deletion. I corrected that and created an entry here, signing using Mecanismo's name instead of my name as I thought Mecanismo won't comment here again. I was using the name Mecanismo, which is clearly wrong. --minghong 18:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
      • OK. I didn't look at the first edits. And I added more wrong-looking signatures for Maciel, because I used the first signature as a model. -Hapsiainen 19:52, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Categories can't contain nonexistent articles or links about articles. -Hapsiainen 11:51, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Non-exitent articles, if they are indeed relevant, should be created as stubs and added to it's respectful categories, which brings added value to wikipedia as a whole. Therefore, the "red link" argument is a non-argument. -Mecanismo 12:08, May 2, 2005
    • But you can't get read those (sub)stubs in the same page, if you only put them to a category. -Hapsiainen 13:11, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
      • You can't? Are you sure? You create an article, you add it to a category, you mark it as stub and there you have it. What's the dificulty in that? --Maciel 16:01, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
        • When you go to the category page, you can see only the titles of its articles. You can't see the article contents, so you can't read the them. Reading a book title isn't the same as reading a book. -Hapsiainen 16:16, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
          • Well, I believe you are wrong. The category pages are just like the article pages, with the added bonus of organizing the lists automatically. The category page can have an article if you write one there. Plenty of category pages have articles written in them. Therefore, a category page is better suited for list articles than a regular article. Nonetheless, the list article in question doesn't have content in it, which makes this a non-issue. --Maciel 17:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Yup. Besides, one can also put a short description behind the item. This is not possible using categories. --minghong 18:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I can't copy and paste a category. Kappa 12:06, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • You can edit an article and add the category, which is easier and works better than adding it to the article. -Mecanismo 12:08, May 2, 2005
• Keep. --Viriditas | Talk 12:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 12:57, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, lists and categories can exist simultaneously. Lists can sort info in more ways than just alhabetically (like this one does). Can add birth dates in case of people. Non-existent articles should be created. But it's always better to create articles than mere stubs. If a link is blue, people expect an article, not just a few lines of text. Mgm|^(talk) 18:24, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, in some cases simple list articles can coexist with category listings and in some cases they are even better suited. Still, undoubtedly category pages are better suited for this kind of list. Regarding the "better nothing than a little" point, I believe that you are wrong. If an article doesn't exist, people move on but If an article exists even in a stub form, the user has some information available. On top of that, the user can pick up where the article was left and bring in a small contribution, which is frequently done. Besides that, the stub articles are listed in a stub category, where users browse to see where they can contribute to developing articles. Therefore, there is only advantages in the "mark article as stub and add it to a category" way of doing things and so, this list (and others) is better suited as a category page instead of a simple article. --Mecanismo 08:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. We obviously need to document the past discussions of lists versus categories better. We repeat this discussion here regularly. Andrewa 21:08, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Lists and categories have different functions. RickK 23:36, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

It is already settled that category pages have better list functionality than regular pages. So, in your oppinion, what can a simple page do that a category page can't ? --Maciel 06:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Regular pages can list things which don't have their article, see the redlinks on the article? Sjakkalle 07:38, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• If you wish to list an article that doesn't exist, create it, add it to the category, mark it as stub and move on, which is extremelly trivial thing to do and this has already been stated. On top of the strong points which make this the right thing to do, an article marked as stub gets the attention of contributors (being automatically listed in the stubs section), while a red link doesn't bring any added value whatsoever. --Mecanismo 07:54, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• When you create an article as a stub, some person has to look at it, and recategorize it as a specific type of stub. Also the only type of stub that is really easy to create is substub definitions, which are not encouraged. Kappa 08:55, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• The recategorization of a stub is a non-problem. But if someone believes it is a huge impediment, they should know that it is only made if the article is marked as a common stub. In the case of this article, that isn't needed. Please take a look at category:Computer language stubs --Mecanismo 11:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Lists can include red links. Lists can include more information than a category does, such as birth and death dates, nationality, a little bit of information. Do you think we should get rid of January 1 because we can create a category:January 1 and add it to every page linked from the January 1 article? Look at all of the information that would be lost. And are you really trying to encourage the creations of thousands of substubs? Do you know how many people would come down your head because you created a tiny article for every redlinked entry in every list page? RickK 22:16, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
• I already refuted those points in the past. Please read the comments above. And I'm not claiming that every list created in a simple article page should be converted into category page. Only the lists which are, like this one, better served with a category article should be converted/removed in detriment of the category article. We, as wikipedians, should strive to add value to wikipedia, whether it is by the introduction of information and cleaning up the "bazaar" mess. --Mecanismo 02:06, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep -- useful list - Longhair | Talk 02:18, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • No one is saying the information that the list holds isn't usefull. The whole pointis that, because of the existing category and the nature of a category page being better suited for this kind of list, this article is redundant and should be removed. This is a cleanup issue, not a censorship issue. --Mecanismo 02:06, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as per Rick. Megan1967 04:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

• according to WP:CLS, in order to a list article not to be redundant, it has to do significantly better job of presenting the articles than the respective category. This list article doesn't do that. Therefore the elimination is well deserved. --Mecanismo 20:20, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] William IV of the Netherlands

Delete because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

[edit] Portal:Cricket

Previously Cricket (portal).

Also see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Portal:Cricket, which contains discussion on the same article (but not on the same title).

Like all other wikiportals, this belongs in the Wikipedia namespace under the title Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Cricket. Move, then delete the redirect. Neutrality^talk 00:21, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

Jguk made this comment when moving the page: In response to SPUI's closing of the vote and the comments below, the page has been moved to Portal:Cricket, which hopefully is a happy medium between most of the views expressed below, jguk 16:11, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

• My delete still stands. This is still in the main namespace, and should still be deleted from it. Also, since this was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 17:18, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Have a look at the page history. You'll see a nice bit of edit-warring going on about whether the VfD is valid. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 17:21, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Move to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Cricket, and delete redirect. Megan1967 04:58, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• As this has again been removed from the vfd page out of process, I'm again taking it to today's page. Stop it. —Korath (Talk) 15:40, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Is there somewhere better than the delete/move/keep hellhole of Vfd (either listing in this case) to discuss a major innovation like a new type of page in the main namespace. So far I can see precious little debate at all, mostly only "move, because that's where the other portals are" without taking time to figure out whether they should be, and then a load of nonsense about procedure for vfd. Pcb21| Pete 21:40, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

    • There is some very modest discussion going on at the other VfD (please don't laugh): Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Portal:Cricket. I completely agree this doesn't belong here and it's painfully obvious no consensus whatsoever is going to come of this. The best thing we can do is wait for this to blow over, temporarily stick the thing somewhere we can all agree on (or have least disagreement on, something) and then use the talk page. Of something. A new page, perhaps. One in the Wikipedia space. But at this point I'd settle for "anywhere but here". JRM · Talk 22:05, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki-fiddler

2004 neologism with about 42 web hits (+2 for wikifiddler), some unrelated and the rest apparently all from just one author's posts to The Register. External links could possibly be merged to Criticism of Wikipedia. Samaritan 16:03, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The Register's influence is likely to ensure this slur becomes widely used by critics. (I was aware of it — and amused by it — long before I signed up here.) It seems to me that the best way to defuse this would be for it to become common usage amongst those against whom it is targeted. (I want it on a t-shirt!) In any case, its deliberate exclusion from wikipedia's extensive lists of such terms would seem odd. --JEREMY 16:19, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Since 2004, it hasn't - has it even been used by other authors at The Register? And Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. You're arguing to include it for pro-Wikipedia POV advocacy purposes, which doesn't sit right, and... how many other little-used anti-Wikipedia neologisms have articles again? Samaritan 16:37, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

      • I was just asking because you said we had "extensive lists." Samaritan 17:53, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
        • Sorry; should have been more specific. I meant for example List of euphemisms, List of ethnic slurs, List of sexual slurs, List of words meaning outsider, foreigner or "not one of us" and List of political epithets (the latter being where I've linked wiki-fiddler for want of a more appropriate anchor-point). --JEREMY 18:37, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism. Rmhermen 16:27, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Attempt to promote a neologism. No useful content yet either, even Wiktionary would not be interested IMO.

    • No, being a bookstore isn't in itself notable. Since you asked, I say that being a school also isn't inherently notable. I vote to delete most high schools and elementary schools that come up for VfD. Accredited universities are notable. They are relatively few in number and usually have distinguishing characteristics. A few high schools may be notable, but vanishingly few elementary schools are notable. At the high school level and below there are a practically infinite number of schools, scarcely distinguishable from each other. Quale 03:42, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kefka's_Revenge

This is a page that was created by a single user about a video game that's a fan-made reconstruction of Final Fantasy 3 (which in America, never really sold that well anyway…) and it's not finished. I'm sorry, but it's just too soon to write about this game. If it can boast over let's say 100,000 or so users, then yes, maybe it can be added back. But at this point, it's way, way too obscure for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a place for promotion of personal projects. Let's remove this article from now until it achieves some wider notoriety outside the community of FF remake fans. ---Carl 17:06, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It's more than the "coming soon" empty article it started as and it sounds like a rather ambitious project, but right now, it just comes off as original research. - Lucky 6.9 17:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• KeepI don't see the big deal. Yeah, it's unfinished, but it has information about the game if anyone was interested about Final Fantasy fan games, and it can always be expanded apaun. I think that rather then deleteing it immediately, we wait for expansion. There is always that possibility. - Dooz0 18:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vaporware game-emulation project. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This game may someday become as widely played as Final Fantasy 3 in which case an article can be written to document its notability. Until an actual delivered product generates some notability, and not just a coming-someday announcement or a few rumors on game-chat forums, I can't vote to keep the page. Barno 20:35, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete you have to be pretty darn noteworthy to be on wikipedia before you exist. This ain't. --InShaneee 20:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• "KR is nothing but quality." I'm surprised nobody said anything about POV. Delete. Nestea 22:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• What I like is how some of you say that it isn't popular enough, and then if you look at some of the stuff you guys made, no one's heard of a lot of things you made. Lucky 6.9, what is Crusader 101? I've never heard of that. Same thing with Clutch Cargo, Lalo Guerrero, and several other things. Little hypocritical? I mean, isn't there beauty in being able to learn about things you were previously unaware of? Or am I the only one who cares about learning anymore?- Dooz0 22:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Careful with the personal attacks. I've been nice up until now and I don't think it's too much to expect the same in return. Go back and read each of the articles you mentioned. Feel free to Google them as well. I think the articles more than sufficiently cite the notability of their subjects. The "Crusader 101" is one of the most collectable toy cars of the postwar era and when one comes up on eBay, the bidding gets fast and furious. At least one eBay store does a land office business selling reproduction parts. It was also the cover subject of a national publication. "Clutch Cargo" introduced a new optical printing technology and Lalo Guerrero was a national treasure by any yardstick (including that of a President of the United States) and a man I'm proud to have known. I hope this game takes off. I really do. I love FFIII. However, it simply doesn't ring the notability bell at this point. - Lucky 6.9 07:26, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I wasn't attacking you, I was giving examples. The point was that those aren't popular topics, yet those are good articles. I'm saying that it doesn't need to be popular to be a good article that deserves a place in an encyclopedia. The reason that encyclopedias leave somethings out is because of it can't cover everything. It has limited space. That's the wonder about Wikipedia; There is so much more information here. And one of the reasons for deletion is that it isn't popular enough. I think that's just totally bogus, no offence. There's never anything wrong with having more information. PS: I seem to be inadvertanly attacking you a lot. Do note that none of it has been on purpose. Dooz0 20:40, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Just for the record, a Google search results comparison: "Kefka's Revenge" 181; "Crusader 101" 508; "Clutch Cargo" 24,600; "Lalo Guerrero" 33,900. --Carl 14:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
• Thanks. Point taken and apology accepted. - Lucky 6.9 22:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • If you feel these article dont meet wikipedia guidelines please by all means put them up for vfd to settle it. Megan1967 02:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I think you completely missed my point. Dooz0 02:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the page. Ya know, I admit that I'm the creator of the KR article, and I'm also the creator of the article's subject matter. If you HONESTLY FEEL that your precious "WORLDWIDE FREE PUBLIC" encyclopedia is tainted, or in any way degraded, then go ahead and remove my article. I was only contributing, and I made every attempt to follow the submission guidelines. I went back and reviewed all the policies and sure enough there is legitimate reason to delete this if you want to badly enough, but it's not something blatantly wrong. And it looks as though one of my pals has already removed the biased material as well. Maybe it's not popular enough for you, maybe all my years of dedication and hard work dont impress you, and maybe you think you know everything already and dont deem my project worthy of knowledge. Just remember, if you delete this, you delete my PRIDE and ESTEEM as well. Do you want to do that to an innocent and hard-working man? --Nakednerd 02:18, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, but that is total bullshit. We are not deleting your pride and esteem, we are deleting what you think is your pride and esteem. Which is silly of you to begin with. You have worked for three years on a game that, from the looks of it, will be polished, will be playable, and possibly will even be good--something that many published games can't honestly boast of (Baten Kaitos for example). Be proud of that. Take esteem in that. Because you should. Three years is an incredible amount of work and dedication, and you have every right to be proud of yourself. What you should not do, however, is be offended when we tell you that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, is not for advertisements, and is not for vanity. It's about things that have made an impact, in other words, not about things that will. Very simply: It is not that we do not value your work, it is that this is not the place for you to boast of it.

All you have at present is an odd little sentence. This way, the information stays intact and when the game takes off, boom! Transfer it to a new article. - Lucky 6.9 07:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• I'll do you one better, Nakey--build your own website and link it to your user profile. When I first got here trying to promote my book Almasheol I found that Wikipedia, like most major bookstores, has an innate prejudice against P.O.D. house-produced books. It bothered me somewhat, but eventually I accepted it. I realize I could sell a thousand copies each of Almasheol and Postcards of the Hanging and still not be seen as anything more than a two-bit "vanity" publisher. I'm sure if I published through a legitimate mainstream house, they'd welcome me gladly, but until then, I'm experimenting with web-distributed chapbooks, 'zines, and other alternative publishing channels. Perhaps you can donate copies of your game to public and school libraries--better distribution, great publicity stunt. It's what I'm planning to do with my books. The_Iconoclast 19:52, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I remember those! Looking back, I may have been a bit harsh in my voting. If so, I'm truly sorry. Are the books selling? - Lucky 6.9 22:41, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Not yet. I've won a couple of minor awards, though, for my work in Writer's Digest-sponsored contests (who have done quite a bit to legitimize self-published writers, God bless 'em). I even did a web-interview last year, and some movie people I've talked to think one of my stories has great film potential. I'm afraid, however, I still haven't seen what I'd call "mainstream" success. Whatever that is. I'm trotting a new novel around to legitimate houses through an agent this time, though all they seem to be doing so far is drinking my wallet dry. Ten-percenters, yeesh. The thought of paying someone to print your work is such a stigma, so the P.O.D. writer will always labor under a cloud--but I do enjoy designing my own covers and I like the freedom the format offers. The major houses are very cliquey and incestuous, wanting to stay with big names and not giving new authors a chance. A thought: are there competitions for self-produced video games? Once N.N. has a workable prototype of his game, he could send it to them for a review. The_Iconoclast 14:41, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• I just made a daring stunt as a final slap in your face by editing the article so that it meets your standards of being notable and popular. While I agree that vanity pages should not exist here (pages created to promote one's self or one's work), I still think it deserves to stay because it has an informative approach and it certainly does have significance as stated in the opening of the article. I realize it will be deleted nonetheless, so go ahead and have a field day. Moving it to my user page would defeat the purpose -- I only registered so that I could create the article. The fact is, KR will never be notable or famous according to yous, but its mere oppressed existence is more than evidence of encyclopedic qualification. Or something?? Nobody cares about a Naked Nerd, other than wanting to get rid of him. So LATER dudes. --Nakednerd 12:20, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Sigh...NN, first calm down. Second, consider the fact that you're adding an article about a as-yet unreleased product on a general reference site with articles on people, places and things that have come before. Simply put, Wikipedia is quite possibly the world's biggest stinkbomb of a site when it comes to promotion of any kind. I work in an advertising and marketing capacity. I've won awards for my schtick. I cannot write an article in the same breezy style I write a radio ad. Wikipedia is dry, dry, dry. I think "Kefka's Revenge" is going to be a knockout. When that time comes and it's a well-known game, it'll be more than deserving of an article and I'll defend its right to be here. Don't leave over this. You're obviously an intelligent (if sensitive) person. I can really relate with the "sensitive" part. - Lucky 6.9 22:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• How 'bout now? Is it good enough yet? --Nakednerd 22:53, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Among the article content added in the latest edit is "The responses were discouraging and impetuously negative, yet the duo retained their integrity and superiority." The disclaimer at the end, though valid, lacks encyclopedic style. Encyclopedias need much less bogosity (except on 01-April, which this isn't). And Lucky 6-point-9 was correct: It's got possible future notability but doesn't yet have verifiable notability to WP's standards. For now, you can userfy all this, and once there's a hundred thousand or some huge numbers of players in several English-speaking nations (this is the "en." Wikipedia), you are welcome to put it back into article namespace as a starting point for other editors to work with. And Lucky's also correct that you're fully welcome to help the rest of us collaborate, regardless of whether your article gets deleted in this case. By the way, "playing the villain" is a more interesting approach than most games have, and KR has a better chance than most computer games to achieve notability. Barno 01:19, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• NN, I don't think you get the point. Just beacuse it exists does not make it notable. It must be notable in order to stay on Wikipedia. Kefka's Revenge, so far, has no notability whatsoever. It's just another fangame. If something happens to it, such as it getting wide popularity, then it IS notable. Nestea 22:29, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't think YOU get the point. What's the big deal about notability? I bet there's tons of shit on this site thats barely notable. KR is notable enough for me. Why do you care so much?--Nakednerd 03:31, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I care so much because Wikipedia does not revolve around you. Nestea 11:17, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Nor around you. Dooz0 04:36, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
        • Nor around you. It's the people's encyclopedia! Nestea 20:51, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Once more: Notability to the public-at-large is the prime factor for inclusion. At present, your rather ambitious and worthy project is virtually unknown. No one...and I mean no one...is going to come here and search for "Kefka's Revenge." Why? No one other than you, I and a handful of Wikipedia users even knows it exists, at least not yet. You're right in pointing out that there are articles on lots of really esoteric subjects. However, esoterica and obscurity do not necessarily mean non-notable. I've written about some rather esoteric subjects myself. BUT: Everything I've written about is notable in some way and I go to great pains to indicate that in each article. If I may offer some further advise, it would be this: Lose the chip on your shoulder, my friend. You are taking this matter too personally and lashing out at other users isn't exactly according to Dale Carnegie. You've been treated with a great deal of kindness, respect and support. Please consider doing the same in return. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 03:52, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• Look, man, think of the precedent this would be setting. Do you have any idea how many fangames there are that can claim to be of similar quality and merit to Kefka's Revenge? Not that are, but that can claim to be. What makes this different from all the creative and fanfic projects that I started, or that anyone else does? What makes it inherently better? What makes you so special? Those aren't necessarily rhetorical questions, by the way. If you have valid answers, by all means, this is the place to provide them. DS 17:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I never said we're special. And I dont want to exlude other fangames, either. That's why I listed them in my article. I dont see anything wrong with having fangames on this encyclopedia website. If you want it to be so professional then maybe it should be published instead of being openly editable. Isn't it the point to allow the community to add more content? I understand sometimes stuff would be inappropriate and not worthy, but surely this article is developed and informative enough to warrent a small page of its own. No big deal. --Nakednerd 18:43, 6 May 2005 (UTC) And by the way, we're special because we have playable content, something that most other games never achieve. That's stated in the article, I believe.
• Delete. Non-notable. There are thousands upon thousands of user-created mods to old Nintendo ROMs, or games which individuals have made with shareware RPG maker type software. Notability in the case of an independently developed video game would probably require some sort of legitimate site reviewing it, at the very least. ESkog 18:48, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• The article appears to be at least half BS. How could you draw up a pie graph like that? I mean, how would you calculate the percentages? And at the end of one section, it says that the section is bogus. Sure, a fan-made game like this could be notable enough, but I'm not seeing any evidence that this one is. Delete. Everyking 08:06, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• You guys are using the word NOTABLE so damn much that I had to go look up its definition to make sure I remembered what it means. It means something is worthy of notice, or is characterized by excellence or distinction. By this definition, I see no valid reason why KR' "non-notability" should render it deletable. I think it certainly is notable according to this definition. It mentions nothing about FAME or FORTUNE like all you seem to value so much. The game I am making is remarkable. I don't care how many people are unaware of it yet, but it's true. So stop going delete crazy on my notable project. Either that or come up with a better argument. If fame is your game, then youre lame. HA! (but do NOT take it personally) because as stated before, there exists other articles pertaining to lesser known topics. Thanks bros! --Nakednerd 12:18, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

The problem is, even if the article is deleted, the inssitence of these people will ensure it keeps being reinstated.

[edit] Kimberly Caldwell

Kimberly Caldwell was a contestant on the second season of Fox Network's talent competition show, American Idol. She was the sixth person voted off that season.

• Delete, or add info to the main article on American Idol.--Silversmith 19:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. She is notable. I knew instantly who was the subject of the article just from the name. She has been active on the TV Guide Channel since her American Idol appearances and is currently part of pop culture. She actually gets more entertainment news coverage than many other previous contestants, even some who made it further in the competitions. Since there is an American Idol entry, this would probably be the best place for her, but I can see people trying to look her up by name, thus the redirect. -- Glen Finney 19:51, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• I say Keep as a seperate article. I'm not an American Idol fan but she is notable loser, I guess. As Glen Finney has stated that she has a TV career going on with TV Guide Channel and Fox Sports Net with their defunct (I think) television show, 54321. [19] In addition, she just recently signed to a major label record deal even doesn't mean she will release an album. --Chill Pill Bill 20:33, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• The above comment was made by IP User:208.198.210.3

so you know those are separte people from a school's public sever therefor they all have the same ip address attached.

• Ok, you have the same IP address. But in Wikipedia, it is one user, one vote. And truely, other than people from your school voting for "keep" of the article, no one else has came over and voted to keep. I would not be surprised if an admin will discount the Annon. votes. If you do not want this situation to happen again, why not just create an account so this mess will not be happening. Plus, the main reason why most people want the article to be gone is that Wikipedia is not primarily used as a dictionary. That is where Wikitonary comes into play. It is also the meere fact that only a small group of people use this word and we are not a collection site of slang terms. Try the urban dictionary, or your wesbite to spread this term, not Wikipedia. Zscout370 (talk) 20:51, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Del nn neolog dicdef —msh210 19:36, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

im the person that made this site and just so you all know how does a word start other than by someone taking the initiative to put it somewhere that people see it, and you said that wikipedia is NOT a dictionary so this means it should accept all terms that have meaning or sentimental value to people Comment by 141.157.76.84

I said earlier that you should put the term on YOUR personal website or YOUR blog, not Wikipedia. Though if you want to take the effort to make a word popular, more power to you, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. Plus, this word does not have much meaning to many people, other than your schoolmates. That, to us, is not notable. If the term is used by half of the United States, we might think about it, but it is not. We got rid of terms before that were created, just like Squeegified, and we got rid of terms that appear in placed like the Urban Dictionary. I want you and your friends to read this to see where me and the others are coming from. Zscout370 (talk) 21:18, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

okay, i get where your coming from, but I would like to say that this word is not one that is only used by one kind of group, also that this is not a slang word because it isn't a shorter version of a word that we are to lazy to sound out. This is a word made up be people for people, which is how most words start and i therefore think it should be allowed to stay.

If you want to vote keep, that is fine with me. But I am just explaining on why myself and others do not want the word to be in Wikipedia. As for you claiming that the word is wide-spread, I have two words for you: prove it. Show us links, show us a Google search, show us stuff. Plus, since it is a made-up word, people might have some issue with that. As I said before, if the page here is whacked, then why not just start a website or a blog and then use the word there. It will still not be on Wikipedia, but I do not mind if you use the other methods to spread this word. I do not know if it will catch on. BTW, I want to clariify some of the votes people casted:

• NN=Not Notable. Usually, this means that this person/place/thing/word/event/etc. is not really important to the world at large. Though the above things might be meaningful to some people, to most the world, they do not care.
• Negoloism=That word is defined as a word that is just mainly in local use. This word qualifies at that, since it is only used by you and your pals.
• DicDef=Dictionary Defintion. As I mentioned above, we have a project that deals with just dictionary terms, so articles that are usually just terms are frowned upon.

I know you want to keep the page, which I have no problems with, but I just think that this article will be deleted. Zscout370 (talk) 21:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

do you want me to put the names that go with the comments that have no names? also when we said widespread we were referring to our area.

Sure, but I am not sure it will affect the voting or not. As for the widespread factor, I am not sure what the benchmark is, but I think that just your school/region might not be good enough. Zscout370 (talk) 21:56, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Although I once knew a Buzaglo, Delete. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:45, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into an article on the family of surnames into which this one falls. Although I'm a fan of the surnames, they need to be notable to become individual articles. However, we should most certainly have articles on families of surnames, and almost every surname in the world falls into some family (see Smith (surname) for an example of an article that covers a wide swath of topically and structurally related surnames). -- BDAbramson ^thimk 04:14, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
  • Note: This article may make a difference to some people - it describes how Israelis use the phrase, "the Buzaglo test" to say that sometimes persons in positions of wealth or power are treated differently than those named "Buzaglo" (i.e. the ordinary guy). The article says "[i]f you don't live in Israel, where the term is a household one, the odds are that you have never heard of the Buzaglo Test." -- BDAbramson ^thimk 06:20, 2005 May 6 (UTC)

Could someone fill me in on how to post something for speedy delete? (do you need to contact an admin?) also, where would be a more appropriate place to post something like this/look for the answer? Collins.mc

To speedily delete something, just make sure it follows the guidelines at WP:CSD, and add {{delete}} at the top. I've deleted the page myself this time. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for trying to get rid of the garbage. -Frazzydee|✍ 23:34, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:Fort Street Class of 1969/Wikipedia:Fort Street's Nik Bogduk

The above page violates WP:NOT (no personal homepages; wikipedia isn't a file storage area).

This is a somewhat contraversial VFD nomination, considering the fact that it's in the user namespace. There was some discussion on the administrator's noticeboard about this a while back, but it doesn't appear that any action was taken until now. I think that it's important that we "make an example" out of this page by showing people that they can't just register for Wikipedia to use it as a meetup organizer or a yearbook- they can use meetup or wikicities for this.

We might be able to let this fly if the user made some contributions to Wikipedia, but (s)he has made no contributions to the 'pedia besides pages relating to this, and the other two pages.

You might also be interested in voting for this other nomination. -Frazzydee|✍ 23:08, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
