[edit] 3wk underground radio

Commercial site with ads, probable advertisement. Website with a Alexa rank of 126,158. Would fail WP:WEB as far as I can tell. --W.marsh 18:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. We have articles on TV stations, maybe radio stations (I've never looked for one), so what would be the rational for either including or excluding Internet radio stations? - Dalbury (talk) 01:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Probably based primarilly on listener base. We don't have articles on TV/over-the-air radio stations that just serve one town or an otherwise small audience (per precedents). I can't find such information on their site. They have about 100 listeners on a Saturday night per Shoutcast, but that's 145th of internet radio sites listed on Shoutcast, which is a considerably smaller site than some of the more mainstream radio sites. That's the best stats and I can find and doesn't make it sound terribly notable. --W.marsh 03:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment. Thank you for that information. - Dalbury (talk) 03:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 50 Unit

Not on AMG, in fact I can find nothing at all referring to this alleged rapper... no related results for his name, his alleged songs get no results. [1]. You'd think there'd at least be something. Seems to be a hoax or at least non-verifiable. --W.marsh 22:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete non-notable Niz 22:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Probably a hoax and non-notable. The reason: there is a popular rapper called, 50 Cent and his rap posse is known as G-Unit. According to web searches and just by the article, it is just screams as hoax and quick way to make an article. --J. Nguyen 23:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Acrobaldgenic Seizure

BJAODN material, at least probably. Definately needs to be deleted in any case. Karmafist 21:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

      • I believe any article which adequately defines a topic and establishes notability if necessary is valuable, and certainly not worth going through an AFD process to remove.

[edit] An introduction to BLAST - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

Nothing useful here that isn't already covered in BLAST. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable website. This nomination was incomplete; listing now. Anville 12:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Scholarship mdd4696 15:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as above: that article already contains a paragraphs saying that “the recipient (of the scholarship) may be determined by students’ athletic, academic, artistic or other abilities.”. Current article says just this + POV + OR. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) Keep the rewritten version. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 18:03, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but rewrite. Athletic scholarships are a class all their own, deserving of separate article to cover their origins, nuances of NCAA regulation, famous instances of manipulation, and to contrast the critiques raised in the article as it stands with the perspective that athletic scholarships provide educational opportunities to students who otherwise might not have them at all. BD2412 T 16:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Note - mad rewrite begun. BD2412 T 17:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep with major cleanup/rewrite. Certainly more than a dicdef. Possibly a future subsection of Scholarship, but probably best as a separate article per BD2412. Turnstep 16:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Austin Audi Club

This article looks like a vanity article and has no real concrete information in it. Thepedestrian 16:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bab el wad

Bab al-Wad is the Arabic name of a place on the Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem highway (Sha'ar Hagai in Hebrew). It is not a name of any convoy, as far as I know, the convoy described in this article is probably a reference to the Hadassah medical convoy massacre, which did not go through Bab al-Wad. There is no settlement in the place, only a road interchange, and otherwise it is only notable as an old Israeli Independence War song (as the article correctly notes) which is in itself unnotable. Doron 07:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak keep Seems to be verifiable if relatively minor event, see e.g. [2] Dlyons493 Talk 10:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Lots of convoys went through Bab al-Wad during the war, because it is on the highway to Jerusalem, as I have noted, but there was no convoy named "Bab al-Wad" as far as I know. There must be thousands of songs on that website, we can't have an article for each. Is there something special about this particular song that warrants an article?--Doron 11:28, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Agree with what you say re this being the location of ongoing conflict in the struggle for control of the highway during the blocade of Jerusalem and I can't verify this specific convoy from here. I was starting from the premise that geographic locations should be kept and still think that they should. I now feel it would be best to emphasise the location and the context rather than one incident probably not especially notable among many fairly similar. The historic specifics of this article could maybe be merged somewhere else? Dlyons493 Talk 15:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Well, I think the location itself is not particularly notable, the whole corridor to Jerusalem saw fighting during the war. If the only information we have about this place is that it is on the way to Jerusalem (and thus saw fighting) and that a song was written about it, I don't thing this is enough for an article, and this information can be merged into the 1948 Arab-Israeli War article.--Doron 20:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I've no objection to a merge of the incident(s) - not that there's much to merge. There's a web ref 22 mars- Une violente bataille se déclenche à Bab El Wad (Shaar Hagaï), lors de lattaque dun convoi de trente camions et de sept véhicules blindés. (Summary: 22nd March attack on a convoy of 30 trucks and 7 armoured vehicles). There was protacted fighting between Givati and Harel Brigades with the ALA forces and irregulars later on in May. It looks to me like there was an Arab village in Bab el wad in 1948 - does that seem correct to you? For me, that would add to the interest of the place. Dlyons493 Talk 22:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
There was an Arab village nearby, named Dayr Ayyub. There was also an old caravan inn, which still stands. Now there's a petrol station.--Doron 01:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • keep Cursory Google search shows this place is of considerable historic interest, from at least 1948 Arab-Israeli War and probably earlier. E.g., former PM Rabin mentions it in a speech found here [3]

" I remember the cars in flames on the road at Bab-el-Wad, whose drivers gave their lives trying to break the siege of Jerusalem. " --FRS 21:03, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BasketMaking

I suggested that this page be deleted because it is more of a dictionary entry and does not contain any substantial content. Possibly a candidate to be moved to Wiktionary instead. Stifle 19:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I have no specific preference as for the new name, but I would just not base a decision only on these figures. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 18:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. A useful article could be written about basket making or basket weaving. "Basket making" gets 267,000 Google results, "Basket weaving" gets 378,000 so article should be renamed as "Basket weaving should be title. However, the article needs more information than what is currently in the article. Capitalistroadster 23:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "bigger than Jesus" controversy

It's already at The Beatles. This might be large enough to become an article of its own, but i'm unsure there. No Vote on the article itself, on the content, Expand if Kept, Merge if Deleted, although the latter is moot since it's already merged retroactively into The Beatles. Karmafist 22:29, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge into The Beatles or John Lennon Niz 22:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per Capitalistroadster. - Dalbury (talk) 02:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per above, however this was a major controversy in the 1960s, so it might be worth an article if it didn't duplicate information alresdy in place. 23skidoo 03:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable radio personality. The stations that he works for only serve a city of about 15,000 people, see the links from List of radio stations in Washington. There are only 572 google hits for "Bob Kramer"+radio, and because the wikipedia entry on him has been around for a while, it is the first one. Therefore, delete as a non-notable radio personality.

[edit] Dattebayo

Non-notable; strongly suspect that it is troll playground full of nonsense; even the linked website looks fake; the subject isn't appropriate for wikipedia - Motor (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: the article is accurate and verifiable, and the links are not fake (the group and their recent releases, apart from Naruto, can be verified by checking on AnimeSuki: [11]). Whether the subject-matter is suitable for Wikipedia is another question. — Haeleth Talk 15:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Dattebayo is currently the biggest fansub group for Naruto, an extremely popular series. However, there is nothing notable about them beyond that, so I don't feel it warrants an article. mdd4696 15:26, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia isn't the place to list information like this, even if the group IS somewhat notable for continuing to release illegal fansubs of a US licensed property. If an article like this is left in place, what comes next? Listing warez/hackz sites? Nezu Chiza 16:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. It is when its one if not the largest site when torrents are downloaded. Terabytes of info each week. And it is only recently that the united states has aquired the rights to naruto. Skyswordsman17:51, 13 November 2005
  • Keep informative + verifiable article. None of the "linked websites" are fake. No evidence of a "troll playground" aside from occasional vandalism of the article. --Timecop 00:59, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Artice gives useful info. All content can be verified and links are not trolls. Group has had impact in fansubbing circles.--68.191.79.202 01:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: I see no claim to being the largest anime subbing group. You can verify the download counts presented on the torrent page of the website (yhbt.mine.nu/t/). The website and irc links are both valid. This page is only informational regarding the name, it is no less valid then any other subbing group's articles (which several of which already exist). The information is presented in an objective way, not expressing opinions.--131.128.143.182 01:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Point out the other "subbing group" cruft, and I'll be happy to submit the articles for deletion, because they don't belong here either. - Motor (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: article is very factual in nature, and in my opinion at least, does NOT violate any of the policies on deletion. the article isn't self-promoting or in any way a 'troll', the linked website is Dattebayo's official site and tracker, definitely not a troll site. To make a simple analogy: According to the Wikipedia guide on band listings (which release work for public consumption just like fansub groups), a band may be listed if it has had a song listed on a top 100 chart. This implies that for bands at least, fame and success (and records) are the criteria for being listed on Wikipedia. Extending this observation to fansubbing, as the single-most-downloaded group actively releasing, I believe Dattebayo has earned its place on Wikipedia, just like 3 Doors Down or the Beatles. -alx
Comment: Really... The Beatles eh? I hope some admin is taking note of the number of IP/new users/socks voting here. - Motor (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: I think the article is informative, and would enjoy seeing other fansubbing groups start their own pages. As it stands, the fansub community is quickly growing in popularity, and no group should be exempt/censored/deleted from the pages of wikipedia.--Bakashrimp 01:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: The article allows for information about Dattebayo to be more accessible to an audience that does not necessarily take part in the anime community. I feel this is the main reason for Wikipedia--allowing information to be more accessible to the general public.--Jbutter 02:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: Article offers comprehensive and concise information that is not generally available without more extenseive research. Interactii 02:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I created The Devil's Panties prior to noting the existence of this article. After I managed to find it I utilised the image contained therein for the other article.

Notes about Diary-X in the media
  • Keep per nom and previous discussion. --Stephen Deken 18:57, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • What's with this trend towards making a nomination and then making a recomendation? Stephen Deken's nomination's and "keep" opinion should be one paragraph, as this isn't a vote. - brenneman(t)(c) 00:07, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Sorry; I seem to recall the AfD instructions saying "you should get the ball rolling by adding a vote", but they don't say that anymore (or did they ever?). Amended the previous to clarify. --Stephen Deken 02:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seems to have a large enough community activity to warrant an article. --W.marsh 19:08, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Nice rewrite. Xoloz 04:27, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete agree, well written, but the links supporting the article in Stephen's user space say "not encyclopedic" to me. When your only mention in media is having your name gotten wrong in a list...
    brenneman(t)(c) 00:07, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Since I'm extending this, I've stricken my recomendation. I'd prefer a wider audience, and will personally abstain in order to get it. - brenneman(t)(c) 00:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • After some consideration, I'd like to change my recommendation to delete and apologize for resurrecting this in the first place. The site isn't overwhelmingly popular, it hasn't had an impact on anyone aside from people who are involved, and Wikipedia is not the place for this sort of thing. I've already userfied it as a prelude to getting it off of WP, so it can be yanked. Thanks. --Stephen Deken 16:24, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Probably a waste of time repeatedly dragging articles of this quality back to AfD. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:55, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
    • When the creator of the article says "delete" it doesn't hurt anything to ensure that there is clear consensus. No one is forced to participate, so how is it a waste of anyone's time? Have we yet found anything per WP:CITE better than the paucity linked above to differentiate this from advertising? - brenneman(t)(c) 00:36, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Pedantic mode on: I didn't create the article, I just rewrote it to be more encyclopedic. What I did create is the site the article refers to. Truth be told, I'm on the fence about the whole thing and really should be abstaining, since on some days I'm a self-centered egomaniac and on others I'm an insignificant speck of dust. My vote should be discarded and / or given more weight, etc. --Stephen Deken 04:10, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Preaky 22:29, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. My normal reaction to a re-listing would be "We already decided what to do, no need to drag it up again". That being said, with so few people participating in the first vote, I can't object to the re-posting. All that being said, I don't see any independent evidence that this is anything other than advertising for one of a million random websites. --RoySmith 00:37, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment from what's in the page, it seems to have some kind of notability, but the only thing here that seems verifiable is [12]. All other external links are to pages in this artist's web site. I will not vote on this one. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 17:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I do wish we had more to go on. He may have published two books, and he may have had some major exhibitions, but I can't tell for sure, so like Paolo, I won't vote yet. - Dalbury (talk) 00:00, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment The reason I believe there are not more entries about him on the web is that the people who know him are not web literate; i.e. they can not respond to this comment. This entry in Wikipedia is intended to bring El GGoDo to a wider audience and encourage debate and discussion; though he is noteworthy - he is a private man and I suppose this may be against him. Regards, Dr Who 08:19, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment His 1991 book is available for hire from some Spanish libraries and from the Bayside City Library (http://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/ see under "services" then "library" and then search for "elggodo" and you will see the book is available for hire and therefore exists. You can of course check with the publishers....
  • Comment You could also telephone the Telediario de Leon (http://www.diariodeleon.es, Telephone details can be found on the website) and get more background detail about El GGoDo and his life - invite them to comment perhaps on Wikipedia. Hope this helps with what to go on. Cheers, Dr Who 08:38, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment to Alex@elggodo.net. Unless a consensus developes to delete, the article will stay. Articles do need to be verifiable, and it is very hard for those of us in English-speaking countries to verify this. Is there an article on this artist in the Spanish language Wikipedia? - Dalbury (talk) 11:28, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Comment to Dalbury. No, there is no Spanish version yet - my first language is English (Australian) and the Spanish I know is pretty rough. However, his 1979 catalogue and 1991 book are in several languages; just look at the quality of his artworkDr Who 22:27, 13 November 2005 (UTC).
  • Discussion. The fellow is real enough. This link is about his latest painting and provides some sketchy biographical details (second paragraph, e.g. where he came from, the fact that he didn't want to work in the coal mines, where his name comes from etc...). Also, the book that is scanned in has a preface by Jose Camon Aznar, professor (I think) at Univ. Autonoma (Madrid). However, all that said, this is an artist of very, very local reputation. I don't think you could even go so far as to contend that his reputation in Leon is particularly significant, let alone outside of the city. I am in Madrid and a quick (granted wholly unscientific) poll has found no-one here who has ever heard of him. Finally, per the website, unless Dr Who had a translation done for the site, his Spanish should be more than good enough to put up a site on the Spanish WP. Which makes me a bit suspicious of the comment above. Also, could you clarify the relationship? Are you the grandson? I'll abstain voting for now. Dottore So 15:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment one of my reasons for abstain as well is that, beside what's in the web site http://www.elggodo.net, there are few other references about him in the Web. One seems particularly promising: [13]. His name mentioned here seems to support the fact that he donated something to Russian musemus, confirming written in the article. The block of text in the linked page reads (thanks to Altavista):

    We will be grateful for your opinion about the site and for the opinions about our museum: you will estimate, if you please, exposures, exhibition, excursion, lecture, occupation in the circles, concerts, scientific activity, conference, publication, the care of visitors. Unfortunately, museum does not have a possibility to answer the questions, which emerge beyond the framework of the designated thematics. You can present the question into the conference: Museum cafe. Examination on THE INTERNET museum does not produce, slides and electron images it does not send.

  • Comment this is the strangest AfD ever!  Grue  19:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment agreed. I imagine the closing admin writing “The result of the debate was... Comment”.Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 20:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I am the son of Pedro Rodriguez Fuertes ("El GGoDo"), however at birth I was taken away by my mother (Sue Alexander) to Australia. Part of the story can be found here: http://www.elggodo.net/en/id1.html. Because of the distance and my poor Spanish over the years I have had a different type of relationship with my father; than most families. Nevertheless, it greatly improved through the use of modern technologies and the creation of the website ElGGoDo.net; where we can both share in each others stories. Although, he is my father, I am able to be very objective about the quality of his work as a result of our unique realtionship. If anyone here is interested in Art then I believe if you saw his work you would see that he indeed has genius: I think this photo say it all: http://www.elggodo.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/elggodo_with_clay.jpg (the clay picture - has a double meaning, I believe it is also a protest against bullfighting)

And thanks for the hint about the Prof above I will see if I can get him to comment here Dr Who 00:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC).

Comment in 1999 when I was last in Madrid this restaurant had number of ElGGoDo's great works in the restaurant. The address is:

Restaurante CARTA MARINA Tipo: Restaurante Cocina Gallega Dirección Padre Damián, 40 Provincia: Madrid Localidad: Madrid Zona: Tetuán Metro: Cuzco Telf: 914586826/ Precio: Aprox. de 45 a 60 €. Especialidad: Pescados .

Perhaps if you have time you could check this out as well. In the meantime I will see if I can get in contact with that Prof 155.143.63.97 10:18, 15 November 2005 (UTC). Note: This is no ordinary restaurant it is a celebration of three forms of art (Food, Painting and Interior Design) and a hommage to El.GGoDo.Dr Who 22:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the clarification. Having reviewed the information, my belief is that this fellow is simply not notable enough to warrant an entry. He has practically no web presence - which means that he is unlikely to have been featured in exhibitions which invariably leave some webprint behind. The fact that the article is authored by his son does not assuage concerns that he is unnotable. And I can find no-one in the country who has heard of him. I wish you the best of luck in helping spread his reputation. Wikipedia, however, is not a venue for promotion. I vote therefore to Delete. Dottore So 10:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment It is true recently he has not had an exhibition. But as good as you exist he has exhibited on a number of occasions. The fact that he does not have a web presence does not mean he is not a notable artist; it simply means that he is not a generation X, Y; but rather before. On another note I have just tried to email Jose Camon Aznar to see if he can add an entry he in support of El GGoDo; hopefully, you can wait a bit longer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.143.63.97 (talk • contribs) 11:19, 15 November 2005 Sorry, Dr Who 22:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment you have been accidentally logged out -- it happens sometimes. Do not forget the signature at the end of comments, as it helps a lot following the discussion. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 11:49, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I think the fact that your father is not part of the internet generation is not germane. Neither is Antonio Martínez Mengual, yet a google search turns up 900 entries. Notable artists generate web presence through expositions, gallery showings, etc.... This is not a question of judging talent - it is about determining notability. Dottore So 12:47, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Time to decide. I see no evidence in all this discussion that he meets the criteria of WP:BIO. - Dalbury [[User_talk:Dalbury|(talk)]] 11:59, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Comment to Dalbury. This is the criteria: Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is recognized as exceptional and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field. Well, his painting is in the famous Cathedral of Leon, so it will endure for near eternity in the historical record of the province of Leon Spain. Leon, is an important province in the history of Spain...

  • DO NOT DELETE.

-Evan Lee Dahl has never done extra work. Being a member of three professional actor unions shows notability. -Evan Lee Dahl has had more than five minutes of screen time. -Evan Lee Dahl was in the film Dickie Roberts: former child star. Rent it. Check the credits. Research is a good thing. -Evan Lee Dahl started out in bit parts for television, he then went to Network and tested for the role of George-Michael Bluth for Arrested Development and has since filmed guest starring roles. -Evan Lee Dahl has just rapped the film Christopher Brennan Saves the World with the credited name of Christopher Brennan. - Evan Lee Dahl is also guest starring as Miles Brody (another credit with a name) on Zoey 101 for Nickelodeon to name a few.

  • Actor's Equity has 45,000 members, SAG 120,000, and AFTRA 80,000, so no, mere membership in these unions confers no notability whatsoever. So Delete. --Calton | Talk 06:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE. Not all American working actors make millions of dollars and have their names headlining. Evan Lee Dahl works as co-star and guest star on major television networks.

  • Keep this entry! Like most good character actors, Evan shows up in numerous roles, none of them a starring role, but instead each supports the action and the plotline. What constitutes a great characer actor is the value of their whole body of work, not a particular or single role. Neither Frank Morgan nor Burt Lahr had a major starring role in any movie, yet The WIZARD Of Oz would not have been the same movie without either of them. And those roles are not the only ones either actor is noted for. Evan is part of the newest generations of faces you know, yet can't always recall the name.

[edit] Fatfemnudist

Article is spam.

Claims:

According to Google's PageRank, her site gets more hits than any other BBW sites, and by a sizable margin. [1]

However, the PageRank is basically a measure of how many links you have to you. Links such as wikipedia.org, which counts a lot as a very big site.

PageRank does NOT measure hits, it measures the number and weight of inbound links. In addition, the supplied link shows very low page rank, although it is higher than the other articles in t hat directory. However, the directory makes no claim to be definitive for BBW sites.

In any case, a more real measure of site popularity is alexa.com, which shows it is the 587,155th site in the world http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=www.fatfemnudist.com

Until the 587,154 sites above it are listed, this article should be deleted. --unsigned listing and comments by User:87.74.12.83

  • Excuse me, anonymous poster, but this article is NOT spam. If the reference to Google's PageRank offends you, I'll remove it now. As stated elsewhere, I think there's ample reason for inclusion, especially considering that Wikipedia already has pages devoted to such less-notable porn sites as Wifey's World and Ideepthroat. For that matter, Wikipedia is filled with entries for little-known musicians, artists, and even obscure role-playing game characters. At least fatfemnudist has been seen by many hundreds of thousands of people, and I don't think I'm required to have to make articles for the 587,154 sites you mentioned before doing this one. But give me time, and I will. wikipediatrix 02:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Note: Wikipediatrix is the article's author.
  • If the delete votes win on this one, I'll nominate the other two sites for deletion as well. Reyk 04:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for reasons given by wikipediatrix. The idea of the site itself in no way floats my boat, but it is different, Wikipedia is not paper, and a subject's notability isn't always a criterion for deletion. --Fire Star 02:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: I don't much care one way or another about the topic, but Wikipedia is not a web guide, and several wrongs won't make a right. If we are carrying articles about minor websites with low significance, then they should be deleted, precisely because they will be cited as precedent and will give people the wrong idea of Wikipedia's intended scope. While this site may be of an uncommon type, it is not seemingly a trailblazer nor innovator. Geogre 03:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Firstly, I don't claim Wikipedia should be a web guide. Not all websites are notable. I would say this one IS a trailblazer and innovator for reasons I could expound upon if anyone really is listening. Secondly, the page is really just as much about the minor web-celebrity "fatfemnudist" herself, not just her site. This can be clarified and cleaned up if deemed necessary. Thirdly, fatfemnudist's site and her posts on amateur-porn message boards are well known to, well, those who know. If you're not a devotee of the amateur BBW pic-post world, then you may not have heard of her, but if you're not a marine biologist, then you probably haven't heard of Silicoflagellates either. I presume no one wants to delete the Silicoflagellates page, even though 99,999 people out of 100,000 neither know nor care that silicoflagellates are unicellular heterokonts whose only living genus has a golden brown chloroplast. wikipediatrix 04:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Note: Wikipediatrix is the article's author.

  • Delete nn, ad, sorry WPtrix (great user name, btw) FRS 16:41, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are a number of people who have gained a significant measure of notability in the field of amateur porn. There is no evidence to support the claims by the article's author that "fatfemnudist" is more notable than those people, and in fact I've just done a simple experiment. On a P2P program (which of course I just downloaded only for the purpose of this experiment of course of course) I type in "ideepthroat" and get 410 hits. I type in "Wifey's" and get 196 hits. I type in "Dawn's" (for Dawn's Place) and get 78 after subtracting five accidental hits. I type in "fatfemnudist" and get 0. Now, consider that Wifey's World, Dawn's Place, and Ideepthroat are all pay sites that don't want people sharing their stuff; fatfemnudist wants people sharing -- but no one is. It kind of dispels the claim that fatfemnudist is more notable than all of those. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Mr.Feldspar, surely you can understand that commercial sites like Wifey's are far more likely to generate hits than ffn's. What I think I haven't made clear is the fact that ffn's web-popularity is largely through her posts on adult pic-post sites and XXX message boards, almost none of which get fully crawled by search engines. I am curious to know who you mean when you say that there are notable people in the world of amateur porn. Let me know and I'll do articles on them too (By definition, professional paysites like Wifey's and Dawn's are not amateur porn in the true sense). I think the real dangerous precedent here is the "I've never heard of her, so she's not notable" mindset. Most people have never heard of MOST of what's in Wikipedia: that's why human beings need encyclopedias. I know ffn is very well-known in certain (shady) circles of the net because I've witnessed it firsthand for several years. She's no jennicam, of course, but by some people's criteria, apparently even jennicam doesn't warrant an entry here. Anyway, I won't berate the point, but I do sense an anti-porn bias here (as well as sockpuppetry). wikipediatrix 20:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Note: Wikipediatrix is the article's author.
      • The fact that you choose to classify fatfemnudist as "true" amateur porn and Wifey's World as somehow not true amateur porn is really irrelevant; we're not asking "is this person notable within their league-determined competition category" but "is this person notable?" No evidence has been submitted that shows that fatfemnudist is notable; we only have the testimony of the article's author that she is. Be careful with your accusations, by the way; accusing people of being sockpuppets just because they say things you don't like is the sort of thing that damages the accuser much more than the accused. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Wow. Did I accuse any specific person of being a sockpuppet? No. And if I did, it would be for far more tangible reasons than "just because they say things I don't like", so you need to plug up your own emitter of accusations, okay? Okay. (Also, you didn't answer my question before, asking you to be specific about your earlier comments. My question was not a rhetorical one.) Clearly certain folks are getting cranky and all up in my face now, so I suppose I will regard this article as a lost cause for the nonce. I had hoped for a higher level of discussion than this though. wikipediatrix 03:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
          • You don't want to just bandy around vague accusations of sockpuppetry. Levelling these claims, in effect, at everyone who voted delete is just as bad as accusing an specific individual. Did you mean me? Geogre perhaps? Maybe "Mr. Anonymous User"? Everyone who voted delete is the subject of your petty attack. Don't try to trivialize people or their opinions just because they don't agree with you. Reyk 01:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
            • I think your inflammatory and false-assumption-laden statement is far more uncalled-for than my brief and cryptic passing reference to sockpuppetry. If you really think I intended "everyone who voted delete" as the subject of my alleged "attack", you seriously might lack the reading comprehension skills necessary for Wikipedia. I said no such thing, nor did I even hint at it, so stop trying to put words in my mouth, Jack. And hey, I abandoned this dead horse already, why are you still flogging it? wikipediatrix 05:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete - if you actually looked at the web site, it is basically a personal homepage. This person called Linda wrote it, and all of the pictures are of herself. Yes, they are pornographic pictures, but that doesn't stop it from being a homepage. She doesn't have a single picture of anyone other than herself in there. Its free, yes, for a reason. Whilst there have been girls who have made pornographic homepages and then charged people for entry - and also for example famous models (and porn stars) who have had free pornographic web sites, this is not one of them. This classifies comfortably as a vanity page. Perhaps the article shouldn't have been deleted without a discussion, but it should have been deleted just the same. Unless you're is Linda or you think that Linda is hot, I don't see why you'd want this in the encyclopaedia full stop.203.122.218.47 16:16, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Question are decommissined state routes automatic deletes? If so fine, but otherwise I'm not sure somebody might not want info on it someday/
  • Weakest keep. This is right on the edge of what I consider encyclopedic for roads. It's not simply surveying info, but goes into the confusion over whether the road was decommissioned and why parts of it were decommissioned. Furthermore, its western end lines up exactly with US 41, suggesting that it has some historical connection to that road and the Dixie Highway. Gazpacho 03:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • So this band doesn't deserve an article because the people here haven't heard of it before?

  • So exactly how many of us are from the town in which this is occurring? Also, rather than going to a capitalist-infested establishment (ie: Rolling Stone) for advice on whether something is different or new, why not sample the goods? There is material linked right in the article. Chaosinterface 22:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
    • It doesn't matter whether we personally like their music or not, or whether their music is different and new or old and the same. We have specific guidelines for whether a musical artist should have an article about them in Wikipedia. See WP:MUSIC (the same article cited by The Anome and HGB). --Metropolitan90 00:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Believe me, I understand that, I had looked over it, and I'm certainly not trying to imply that anyone specific has to like it or dislike it. But the final sumation of the criteria that I'm seeing seems to be that what matters is whether or not the artist is notable. The fact of the matter is, this will change things. This will become known. If the issue arising is simply that it isn't known yet, or it's not felt to be verifiable, I understand. It can wait. Chaosinterface 15:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
        • That's exactly the point, yes. Wikipedia has to make a point of reflecting that which is already notable because otherwise we'd be deluged (hell, we still are) with the submissions of people trying to use Wikipedia to become notable. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:14, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

      • Frustration of continual school debates is getting to people - it's not like Kappa to be sarcastic. But I don't think he's being serious here either :-) Dlyons493 Talk 19:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
        • I am totally serious. If wikipedia only takes "above average schools" then people who attend(ed) "below average schools" will have no reason to feel the project is for them. Kappa 20:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
          • Just like people who are/were in bands that haven't made it, blog authors that CNN haven't noticed and politicians who haven't been elected are all boycotting this project in droves. Oh, and token delete - the article may not be deleted, but damned if I'm letting inclusionists claim 'consensus'. --Last Malthusian 09:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
            • Those people are exclude because no-one wants to look them up. If you start excluding things that people do want to look up because they aren't good enough for wikipedia, you will alienate anyone who tried. I find the idea of an elitist wikipedia really repulsive myself, not something I'd really enjoy spending my time with. Kappa 10:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
              • What logic leads you to the conclusion that someone will want to look up their local school on Wikipedia, but never a local band? --Last Malthusian 16:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
    • A school can be noteworthy for many reasons besides academics. It could be architecturally significant. It could win sports championships. It could run a significant charity drive. It could earn a place in Guinness World Records. What I am saying, as with any other local institution of similar size is that it needs to set itself apart from the crowd in some way. Failing to provide adequate basic education only makes it more insignificant. Don't you think it would serve the purposes of education better if a school could aspire to Wikipedia inclusion? Durova 22:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Failing to provide adequate basic education makes a school much more signficant if most schools do provide it. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be rewards or incentives for the subject, they are supposed to be a resource for people who want to understand the world better. I don't know if excluding schools for low performance would serve the purpose of education better, but it would certainly motivate a lot of vandalism. Kappa 01:38, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
        • By what logic is any obscure institution, academic or otherwise, rendered noteworthy by failure at its primary mission? Spectacular failure may invite derision. Do you suppose this qualifies? Durova 04:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
          • You yourself said "it needs to set itself apart from the crowd in some way". I didn't realize you meant in good way, as if wikipedia is some kind of beauty contest. Kappa 14:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
            • Earning a D score from the Florida Dept. of Education isn't particularly unusual, for what it's worth. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a claim to notability, but that's only if you're worried about individual notability. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:26, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
              • Well one reason I strongly oppose trying to apply notability to schools is that people consider "less than average academics" as making a school less notable, guaranteeing a systemic bias I would find it hard to live with. Kappa 14:34, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
                • A good point. In the (unfortunately unlikely) case that a WP:SCH proposal that required notability was ratified, it would need to have clear criteria. While I disagree that all schools should be included, a school guideline would need to be consistent, with any inconsistencies erring on the side of inclusion. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:40, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
                  • Other positive factors may discount academics. A school in a depressed neighborhood whose faculty and students build houses for Habitat for Humanity could be notable. The oldest schoolhouse in New England would be notable for historic reasons, regardless of academics. A school for homeless children in Ghana could be notable for its humanitarian mission. However it is special pleading to protest that quality performance should not be one basis for evaluation. Wikipedia does not feature every film of 1942. We feature Casablanca.
                    • Hmm by that logic wikipedia shouldn't feature every Simpsons episode. Kappa 23:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

      • Yes. Wikipedia is not paper. High school is a notable period in many people's lives, and each typically affects many thousands of people. If we can have individual articles on television show episodes then I see no reason not to document High Schools. Anyway this argument has been rehashed many times and I see no reason to change my vote. Sorry. — RJH

        • Not only nationwide: this is the world wide web. I suppose there are hundreds of thousands of primary and secondary schools. Imagine the number in China alone. Many schools have identical names. You may have the pleasure of disambiguating them. Durova 18:00, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
          • I have set up disambiguation for school articles before, in fact. It's not very difficult. If you're aware of some other schools called "James Rickards High School," let me know, and I will do the same here. Factitious 01:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

    • Yes, and that's a big problem in an encyclopedia that does not rest on the authority of its contributors. However, even though it is true that many articles are not in accord with Wikipedia's policy on citing sources nobody has suggested that that is inappropriate policy. And, although people in these school debates keep asserting that verifiability should be the only criterion for inclusion, What Wikipedia is Not would seem to say otherwise.

[edit] Katharyn Powers

NN-bio. Being a writer on a TV series is not notable in and of itself. If she's won an Emmy, maybe, but the article makes no such claim. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 07:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete: The issue, for me, is whether a person is just doing her job. The usual person doing his or her job is unremarkable, and that's why Random J. Professor is out, even though he has published a book, and Jane Executive is out, despite controlling many employees' fates. "Celebrities" are slightly different, but writers of TV shows are not in that category, and there is no indication that this screenwriter is doing more than her job. Geogre 14:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • But we have Random J. Journalist who is just doing his job writing for Slate magazine. Kappa 17:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Unless there is a policy preventing this, IMO being a writer for a notable TV series, and getting to a fairly high position in a long-running series, is notable. Needs some serious clean-up, though. I'd also check to make sure that first name is actually spelled properly. 23skidoo 15:16, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: the imdb has an entry [17] which may be useful for this discussion. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 17:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, creative writer whose work has an audience of many millions. More notable than Cyrus Farivar. Kappa 17:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. A story editor is a low ranking position in the world of television writers. Anyone mid-level or above would have producer in the title. Might be arguable on the basis of viewership, but since no episode titles are claimed this is really unverifiable. The piece is cagey about the credits. Burden of proof not met. Durova 18:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Having worked in the industry, this just smells fishy. Any television writer normally gets a producer credit after 4 or 5 years. After 10 or 12 years they become executive producers and show creators. This writer claims 20 years experience and never got past story editor? Can't list a single episode credit? There are many many people in entertainment who pad their resumes. We don't take unverifiable musician or actor bios on faith. Writers are not a special exception. Durova 22:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Response. Why do you consider the information at the imdb link posted above by Paolo Liberatore "unverifiable?" Monicasdude 02:10, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Keep. Doubts resolved, thank you. Lengthy television credits and three films. To answer other objections, a credited feature film writer is called above the line and therefore significant. A television writer holds an even higher position in status and creative input. Tens of millions of people have seen this writer's work. Durova 04:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. "Being a writer on a TV series is not notable in and of itself" ? Of course it is. And even there's an argument about the threshold for credits, being a writer for US network TV series for more than 20 years certainly is notable. Monicasdude 19:01, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I just don't see how this person's work on the series is important enough to warrant an article. Just because someone works on a big project or projects for a long time, doesn't mean that makes them important. Look at the credits of any move or TV series. See how long it is. I'd wager half the people on it have been in the industry for a long time and had their work viewed by many people. But we don't have articles on all of them because they are, ultimately, just people doing their job. This article does not assert that Katharyn Powers is any different. Reyk 21:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Wikipedia should always err on the side of keeping information rather than removing it. Bytes are infinite. Wikipedia should be inclusive, not a snobbish listing of members approved by the in crowd Jsnell 02:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Indeed not. We should err on the side of verified information, as we are attempting to make an encyclopedia, which is a reference work. Wikipedia differs markedly from Everything2 in that it requires that its articles be on subjects appropriate for an encyclopedia and that the articles be verifiable and non-promotional, as well as in NPOV. We have a burden of proof that must be met, and we should not include anything that is doubtful. Geogre 03:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete nn. Citing Cyrus Farivar and other entries that have managed to slither under the notability threshold is hardly relevant: one wrong does not justify another. Dottore So 15:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Cyrus didn't "slither under" anything, AFD would officially be broken if it deleted his article. [18] Kappa 16:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes he did. 2/3rds to delete yet his nugatory promo vanity article is kept. When a 1/3 favorable vote ends up in retention, slither seems le mot juste. I don't see how [19] is germane; JW is not God and ignoring consensus in a consensus-driven community is wrong. Dottore So 17:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kimi Finster

This article is pretty much ruined due to the fact that it's pretty much biased.

I've noticed that the contributors aren't being objective about Kimi Finster, they are just showing their point of view about the character without letting other people to contribute on the article.

The Page is full of paragraphs speculating about uncertain future events which is forbidden here, they have included little irrelevant details that just help to make the article look bigger but not adding something important to it, they have enlisted skills about the character that are barely shown and instead of explaining them they just quote scenes where Kimi appears.

And they do not let other contributors to add stuff to the article which is very unfair becaue Wikipedia does not belong to them and their biased opinions shouldn't be part of the article either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamao (talk • contribs) 19:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, deleting shouldn't be used to conclude edit wars. Bobet 14:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Bobet. —Cleared as filed. 15:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete The article should be deleted, is not just an editing war, the article is messed up without any important information, instead just scenes where the character was at and pictures which people are using more as a fansite devoted to the character instead of an information page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamao (talk • contribs) 17:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • comment as part of the wikipedia policy: Neutral point of view , the article is completly biased and it does look like the contributors want to make a fansite using wikipedia which is forbidden too.Tamao 18:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment ∾ Multiple votes on a page you've nominated is bad juju. If you have things to add, you can add comments. Adding multiple votes doesn't serve your purpose at all, and smacks of petulance and an attempt to game the AfD procedures. → Ξxtreme Unction {yakłblah} 17:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Certainly it should be possible to write a neutral article about Kimi Finster, who after all is just a fictional character. The editing dispute should be resolved in some other way besides deletion of the whole article per Bobet and Extreme Unction. Also, each person gets a maximum of one vote in an Articles for Deletion discussion; if a voter has more to say after voting, they should phrase it as a comment rather than a separate vote. Keeping this article does not mean we endorse everything written in it, just that the article is worthy of staying in Wikipedia even if editing is needed. --Metropolitan90 17:49, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • comment If this page is still worthy for wikipedia, it needs a lot of cleaning, it's not only the biased comments around the character, it also is speculating ,the contributors should Check the facs because a good amount of the information is about uncertain future events, and other information like coupling that doesn't happen in the show alas is irrelevant information. Tamao 18:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I used the clean up page, so I hope this page can be finally fixed and get rid of the biased and unecessary stuff, Thanks for your help.Tamao 05:58, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Listen, I'm one of the contributors and to say we do NOT allow other contributors to add there stuff is false. Check the history of most of that which was removed. Most of it were additions that were extremely negative towards Kimi (one of which stated she was bi-polar) other additions are usually left alone. We had been trying a best to be unbiased, we never knew we were. We will make the neccessary changes asap. However, the discussions about future episodes has happened on the other AGU characters articles, like about TP+KF. Staredcraft 11:04, 13 Novermber 2005 (UTC)
  • comment the page is biased because it has information that doesn't support the points you have about Kimi, plus you constantly use the same information to make it look bigger, and about the uncertain future events I mean episodes not confirmed yet, and the coupling shouldn't be included because it isn't part of the show, it's stuff from the fans so is irrelevant to the character.Tamao 16:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

        • While I'd love to clean up the article even further, (It's changed quite a bit since the initial post), I was unable to find the "article creation guidelines", finding only the extremely broad "Wikipedia style guidelines" which seems like a wild goose chase to determine what would sway those voting for deletion. If you could please reread the article and tell me more specifically what needs to change, I'd be happy to revise it again. As to the LASFS, I'm not really sure how that's related since it's written in the first person and not even on Wikipedia. --24.55.215.136 23:37, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: setting aside all of the other arguments for deletion, I find it hard to imagine any text taken from the Debian project itself could be a copyvio -- which is strictly limited to only GPL & GFDL materials. Unless the submitter has made a mistake, & these are taken from a book on the Debian distribution, then the copyvio chrage should be dropped immediately; otherwise, provide the non-GPL/GFDL source & these materials will be a CSD on that one argument. -- llywrch 20:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • The Debian tutorial is GPL-licensed, whereas Wikipedia is GFDL-licensed, and the GFDL is not GPL-compatible. — A.M. 02:00, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Your link is informative, but irrelevant. How is reuse of this material a copyright violation? The whole intent of any GPL or GFDL is to permit reuse by the user as long as that freedom is shared in turn; worrying about the "incompatibility" of these two licenses is splitting hairs, & hardly comparible to a copyright violation akin, say, to distributing copies of Brittany Spears' latest songs. I am pushing this point because several people have agreed to the accuracy that this is a copyright violation without discussing it, or even acknowledging the irony of the claim. And their uncritical agreement over this one claim brings into question both their understanding & depth of critical reflction of the other claims made above. -- llywrch 22:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
        • It is copyright violation because the GFDL contains restrictions which are not present in the GPL (for example, the restriction on "technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute"), and the GPL explicitly forbids distributing GPLed works under more restrictive terms (see clause 6). You may consider this "splitting hairs", but the Debian project does not; according to them, the GFDL does not comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and they intend to remove all GFDL materials from Debian (or move them to the "non-free" section) by the time that Etch is released. — A.M. 23:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, unfortunately. I voted this way for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of music videos by name, too. I think this list could have been useful if it described articles in which there was actually information about the music videos, but it didn't. And I could be idealistic and say that information about the music videos should be added to the appropriate articles, but it won't. (I am an eventualist, but not that much so.) I think making a category for song articles that describe the music video made for the song could be useful, though. Jacqui ★ 00:08, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Uhm, well, there is a difference after all ;-) It's just that it does not motivate the deletion of this article enough. I mean, this still appears to be a popular series, even if not as much popular as The Simpson.
    BTW, nice new signature, Guy!
    Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 20:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps Initial D Manga Volumes and Chapters Guide is a bit wordy, but if this indeed deserves to be kept it needs to be moved in accordance with naming conventions. And while we'd be at it Initial D Episode Guide would need to be merged with the same thing as episode guides are only for television related articles. - Mgm|(talk) 14:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Since that user did nothing but tag the article, didn't create a discussion sub-page, didn't transclude the sub-page, and didn't even give an edit summary indicating the reason for nomination, I have rolled back the tagging. A nomination where only the tag is applied, and no edit summary is given, is functionally indistinguishable from vandalism, albeit that it may have been done in good faith.

[edit] Neil Lisst

Not notable webcomic, not meeting WP:COMIC standards. feydey 23:27, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

This is a notable political cartoon, done by notable artists - a Texas writer and a Canadian Cartoonist. It's been read in over 75 countries, been translated and published in Israel and Germany, made editorial pages in the print media, and it is only two months old. It is read by thousands daily. Even a cursory search produces many hits.

It is political satire. It is not a Marvel comic, it's a political cartoon, not a webcomic of the variety to which Feydey refers.

It is widely republished daily throughout the world, and is the leading comic of over 400 worldwide comics hosted at a well-known site. Most of its reads are OUTSIDE the site.

       ---Neil Lisst, member
  • Delete. This webcomic debuted at the end of August, 2005. Most Google hits seem to be on webcomic sites. Notability not established. - Dalbury (talk) 12:26, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • RETAIN

I invite you to read the comic, read its coverage, and if you want to read a print editorial from a newspaper, it's out there.

The two most dominant online sites regarding politics are the Democratic Underground and Free Republic, both places where the politics of America are born daily. Neil Lisst is well-known at both places. Cutting edge American politics is the topic.

Perhaps if you read the September 19, 2005 comic, you might feel differently, Dalbury.

    • Comment. I did read a couple of the strips, and while I like the subject, that doesn't make this webcomic notable enough for Wikipedia. - Dalbury (talk) 18:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Correction. The note IS signed. I signed it. I'm a member and my member name is Neil Lisst.

  • Comment. Please do not remove anything from another user's comments in deletion discussion pages. That can be regarded as vandalism, although I understand what you were trying to do. If you do not want your IP address exposed, then sign on to Wikipedia with your user name, and then sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), as explained near the bottom of the edit screen. That will automatically mark your comments with your user name and hide your IP address. By the way, anyone who clicks on the 'history' tab will see only your IP address, and not your user name, for your six out of your eight edits up to now. - Dalbury (talk) 21:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment

Thanks for the info regarding IP addresses. The gist of your comments seems to be that you want to be certain everyone knows that the comments are all mine except those made by you and the first gentleman. I don't think anyone should have a problem understanding that.

You seem to know a lot of rules. Perhaps you'll be kind enough to cite the standards which you use to determine Neil Lisst doesn't meet your perception of those standards. That way we can talk about the standards, and whether they're applicable to this political comic, or whether you're misconstruing them.

(Neil Lisst 22:18, 13 November 2005 (UTC))

  • Comment. While it is not yet an official policy, we refer to the section on Web Comics in Wikipedia:Websites for guidance on whether a Web comic strip is notable enough for an article. If you can document that you do meet any of the criteria given there, I will reconsider my vote. I did check Alexa, and the whole of webcomicsnation.com has an average traffic rank for the past three months of 72,847. Since there are many other comics splitting that traffic with your comic, I have to assume that your Alexa score would be over 100,000. - Dalbury (talk) 22:58, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment

Did you note that the traffic on that site has increased dramatically since Neil Lisst debuted? That it has shot up from somewhere above 100,000 on Alexa to its current position? Did you pay any attention to my statement that the bulk of our views are offsite and are not recorded at the site to which you refer?

As I have noted, and as even the casual reader would note, our comic is political satire, the variety one finds on the EDITORIAL pages, not the comic pages. It is not a comic about superheroes or funky kids.

You say you refer to the guidelines, but you don't cite them. Instead, you vaguely refer to those guidelines, and conclude they are (1) applicable to this circumstance, and (2) you are properly interpreting them. That process begins with you citing the actual language and authority, and then our talking about it. When I ask you to cite authority, you do not.

  • Comment

In other words, you feel badgered, in spite of the fact that this is the process set by Wikipedia, and you feel offended, therefore you vote Delete.

I've decided to ask that my submission be removed. I've always considered Wikipedia to be a joke, and my experiences with the amateurs of this board confirm that. It's being run by people who are not qualified to edit. There is an obvious error on one of the forms here, where a period is placed outside the quotation mark. Those kind of errors are not made by those of us who actually possess writing and editorial skills.

I've concluded that Wikipedia is not good enough to have a Neil Lisst entry, so let's do that.

Outbreak of the greatest poets of modern Serbian poetry: Milan Cunkovic, Aleksandar Todorovic-Bekan, Petar Rakas, Sterije Tolic, Bozica Stankovic and others". So, there is a poet named Petar Rakas. However, the article about him claim that he is a writer of drama for theatre. I do not know is this a same person, but if it is a same person, this person could be both: a poet and a writer.

[edit] Pinkie-Pinkie

I couldn't find anything about this on Google, but for now I'm going to remain neutral and let everyone else try and determine if this is a hoax or if it's real. --Locke Cole 11:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as a joke, google has no relevant hits for this term or any variation(pinkie pinkie, pinky-pinky, etc), and the article itself attempts to explain away the lack of information on it by saying most youth have lost touch with this 'urban legend'. Nezu Chiza 16:50, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete; it is the title of a book [27] [28] in French. However, the French Wikipedia does not have an entry on it. [29],. I do not speak French, but it seems that the article is not about the book. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 17:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Very dificult to find info on, but not a hoax. The tokoloshe is definitely a real SA myth, and pinki-pinki appears to be a related creature, or an alternate name for it. Can't vouch for the substance of the article, but seems real enough to keep it and ask for expansion and references. Turnstep 17:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Thank you for pointing out this necessary piece of information. Since this is not an hoax, the article cannot be deleted on this ground. Wikipedia has an article on tokoloshe, but this pinkie-pinkie seems slightly different. As far as things are now, the problem is non-verifiability. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 18:20, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment. There is a French book (I think) Le pinkie-pinkie[30], which involves South Africe, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing this article covers. Someone who understands French better than I do might help us here. - Dalbury (talk) 23:47, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

The first bit, describing the pinkie-pinkie, mentions traits out of the tokoloshe article, such as being very short (about a meter tall), turning invisible and having relations with women. The description really bears nothing in common with the article being debated here. The rest of the article describes the plot of the book, which includes a woman from South Africa who is frightened of the tokoloshe. --Le Scoopertemp | [tk] 11:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Jkelly 02:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Packham

Claim to notability for his work with ex-Moromons - see Talk:Richard Packham. I think he deserves an AfD debate but count me as neutral. -- RHaworth 02:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Uneasy keep: What's there isn't exactly POV, but what's not there is certainly noticeable. How prominent has he been? Has he been the target of litigation? Has he been active in legislation? What are the effects and what is the context of the facts given in the article? I can't say "cleanup," because that will do no good, but I have to say that it's a very unhappy keep vote. Geogre 03:27, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • In doubt, thus weak keep by default. The main problem I have is that everything I find is essentially autobiographical. It would really help if some secondary source had something—anything—to say about him. As it is, it's hard to establish WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:RS when the only source of information is the subject himself. --Tabor 04:25, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete If in doubt, chuck it out. Reyk 04:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep or merge He does seem to be well-known in this particular area...maybe merge it with Mormonism? (just as anti-Scientology sites are mentioned in the Scientology article. Jasmol 04:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't presume notability when the article doesn't prove it and very little turns up on a search. If this foundation were a significant presence then they should have been able to get at least local Oregon press coverage. Anti-Scientology has a significant presence that the Scientologists have to contend with. Unless this ex-Mormon movement proves itself as an actual movement it seems disrespectful to move it onto the article about a known religion. Durova 06:27, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I guess I can't vote since I am the one submitting the article. But about the previous user's message -- are we discussing whether or not a significant ex-Mormon movement exists or are we discussing whether or not Richard Packham is noteworthy enough to merit a wikipedia entry? I thought it was the latter, not the former -- especially since a wikipedia entry already exists for Ex-Mormon. If we can agree that the Ex-Mormon movement is legitimate, then Richard Packham would have to be one of the more prominent members of that movement. I'm not sure what search terms the previous user was looking for or seearching on but finding information about the ex-Mormon movement is as easy as Googling "ex mormon" (the 1st link is to www.exmormon.org, the "Recovery From Mormonism" list which currently has a link to the Exmormon Foundation prominently posted on their front page. The 7th link is a link to a Richard Packham webpage). Of course, googling "ex mormon foundation", being more specific, will produce even better results. It is not surprising to me that not a lot shows up associated with Oregon and the Ex-Mormon foundation because the majority of the Foundation's activities, including annual conferences, typically happen in Salt Lake City. Jarom Smith 07:26, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Nope, you can still vote; it's just important to disclose that you are the article's author so people can take it into account. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:55, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Well in that case I'm probably still too much of a newbie to be able to talk intelligently about this. It seems that the consensus is to Merge into Ex-Mormonism and perhaps with an edit to make it more NPOV, which is fine by me. I did the best I could but I appreciate the help from the community. Just for grins, though, would the community like to take a look at Jeff Lindsay's page and perhaps do the same thing? Jeff and Richard are more or less peers on opposite sides of the ideological fence. Within their respective communities, I would say they have roughly the same stature/standing (and therefore, would merit more or less the same level of mention in Wikipedia). That's my opinion, of course... and when it comes to this stuff I am definitely not neutral. Jarom Smith 02:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment Found the time to follow my own advise and edited out PoVish material and personal info, added link to criticism--FRS 19:41, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Ex-Mormon. I personally know Richard and agree with Jerom, Richard is one of the original gray beards of the ex-mormon movement. He is not only a true skeptic, but relies on the scientic inquiry method that focuses on fact and reason to peel back the layers of an argument to try and arrive at the truth. Richard has spent the last decade using the Internet to share researched data and information that has been largely unavailable or repressed by The Mormon Church in order to highlight thousands of inaccurate details and errors regarding the Mormon Church, its origins and doctrine. Many have thanked Richard for helping them to have access to this data. By the way, Ex-mormonism is a bonafide movement. Also, the Mormon church was considered a cult, not an established church, until just 50 years ago. Until recently, its claim to be the fastest growing church in the world had been patently accepted. Today, we know that claim is plain just false and wishful PR. This is Rshiveley (talk · contribs)'s second edit.
  • Comment for Antaeus Feldspar. I do believe you are mistaken about Rshively's second vote, as this shows as his first edit since August. - Dalbury (talk) 02:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Reply: I'm not sure but I think you misread my note. I did not say it was his second vote but rather his second edit. Arguments from editors with low edit counts are still considered, but they have to be weighed carefully because often editors without enough experience misunderstand the AfD process and argue the wrong criteria for why an article should be kept/deleted. For instance, it may be true that Richard Packham "is not only a true skeptic, but relies on the scientic inquiry method that focuses on fact and reason to peel back the layers of an argument to try and arrive at the truth" -- but what does that have to do with whether an article separate from Ex-Mormon is merited? Mistaking "X is good" for "X should have an article" is a classic mistake made by those who don't yet understand just what the goals of Wikipedia's deletion policies are. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:52, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment. My apologies, I misread it. - Dalbury (talk) 07:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Ex-Mormon. If Jeff_Lindsay can have his own page then so should Richard. Both have websites filled with information about the LDS faith. Richard not only provides information for those seeking it, but also assistance to former members and non-members who need help. -- WilsonZone 10:12, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
    User's only contribution so far is to this AfD page. - Haukur Þorgeirsson
    • Comment: If I google on "'Jeff Lindsay'" I get 67,600 hits. Even if I narrow it to "'Jeff Lindsay' Mormon" I still get 22,200 hits. On "'Richard Packham'" I get 577 hits. To say that both of their views should be represented, that if one view is represented then so should the other be, is NPOV. To say that one holder of a view should receive his own article, because a holder of an opposing view received his own article is to confuse NPOV with false balance. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:52, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Simpson's Department Stores

There already is an article on the Simpson's department store (and one on Robert Simpson as well). Moreover, the article is mostly inaccurate. Simpson's was never merged with Sears Canada (they had a joint venture in the suburbs, which did not affect any Simpson's stores), Maison Simons did not purchase the Simpson's stores in Quebec (Simons moved into part of the former Simpson's store on Ste. Catherine in Montreal, years after Simpson's had left), and Simpson's was founded in 1872, not 1860. Given these errors, there isn't anything left to merge with the Simpson's article.

[edit] Simon Gipson

Articles on school principals are inherently not notable, and this one is no exception. No real biographical info, just some quotes, and written by anons from his school who have continually vandalised the school's own page (see debate here). Serves no purpose, will lilely not improve, and should be either deleted or made into a redirect page. Harro5 06:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • NOTE I have updated much of this article, including adding biographical info as you requested Harro5. Although you may have seen it as unlikely, it has dramatically improved. Please take note of this when voting for/against deletion. Beyondcapricorn 01:33, 13 November 2005 (AEST)
    • Response: as jfg284 suggests below, this is all an attempt to make Gipson out as more important than he is. He is no more notable than any other independent school principal in Australia (eg. see debate before a redirect at J.T. Vallance and merge at Robert Knight) and these conference studies aren't very important in education. Mentioning that he writes for the school's ""The Michaelean" basically says he writes for the school newsletter and people in the school read it - not at all important. Also, claiming he has national media profile is ridiculous! A Current Affair is widely regarded as the most rubbishy news program in Australia (this can't be denied by any Australian), and the homework issue hardly received coverage beyond the program. The issue with the Salvation Cross doesn't need an article on the principal, but rather a mention in the St Michaels article, as the issue isn't about him but rather his school. Essentially, Beyondcapricorn is presenting anything and everything that could be seen as sort-of-notable by even just one person in an attempt to keep this puff piece alive. I see no reason to keep this article, and at the very most would say Gipson could have a short paragraph in the St Michaels article to talk about him, but still see this as making him out as more than he is. I strongly consider all voters to consider these arguments. Thanks. Harro5 22:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Response: Gipson IS in fact more notable than other independent school principals in Australia, as detailed by mass-media exposure, the numerous publishings of his studies in regards to education around the world, & as detailed by current positions he holds OUTSIDE of his position at his school, eg. Chairman of the Association of Coeducational Schools, and Board Member of the Association of Independent Schools Victoria. Also on a side note, the guidelines speak nothing of personal opinion in regards to which outlets one speaks on, and as such, your opinions on A Current Affair are not relevant. Please remember to stay on topic and within the guidelines. I strongly consider all voters to consider how valid Harro5's arugments actually are. Beyondcapricorn 12:44, 13 November 2005 (AEST)

  • Delete. Ambi 08:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: Wish to point out that by Wikipedia's own biography guidelines, this page has an absolute right to be included. Quoted from guidelines which can be found here:
    • Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers. Simon Gipson is the most quoted Headmaster, across all media mediums in Victoria, and one of the most quoted in Australia. This is not only because of his school's reforms, but often that he is one of only a handful of headmasters willing to give an opinion or make a statement. You only have to see from the long list of articles below, on his school's website, or a simple google search of his name to realise that he is one of the most respected opinion makers on his area of expertise in Australia, Education.
    • Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more. Simon Gipson has authored numerous studies, essays, and thesis in regards to Education. His works have been published on their own, and in many widely read periodicals such as EdTech and Educare. A quick google search for his name will again confirm this. Also prior to his position at his school, he was CEO of The Endeavour Group in Australasia, a group that reforms schools. He has given many lectures and been the guest speaker at innumerous conferences around the world about education. Also wish to point out that Simon writes for the school's periodical 'The Michaelian News' which is available via the school's website, which has a circulation in excess of 5,000 old students & community members.
    • Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events. Simon Gipson has become quite well known around Melbourne, Australia for many media storms regarding the school, including but not limited to the Salvation Army scandal that recently rocked the school, and the interview he gave to the nationally broadcasted 'A Current Affair' where he was mis-represented to sound like he had removed homework from the classroom at his school. This interview sparked a national debate, in newspapers and on national radio (See Triple J's 'THe Hack'), where Simon was contstantly referenced to.Beyondcapricorn 21:46, 12 November 2005 (AEST)
  • Keep: As above! dankeschön Beyondcapricorn for collating this data Comradeash 11:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Maybe, if the case for keeping him is his works as an educational theorist (I made that title up, but you know what I mean), that is what should be stressed in the article instead of his position of the head of school of an Australian secondary school. For example, the intro lists him as "a teacher, administrator and consultant" first, followed by a paragraph elaborating on his position as a teacher, followed by a paragraph mentioning his published works, followed finally by a paragraph about him becoming well known. With the new addition of the Published Works section, the focus of the page is more on that. However, it seems a relatively last-dtich effort to provide the article some legitimacy now that it's listed on AfD (and I've a sneaking suspicion that's what it is). The introduction and Infobox still focus mainly on his position as a run-of-the-mill administrator rather than one known for his unique views on education. Change the intro a little, take out the info box and make it a simple picture, you may be in business. No delete vote here, but I'm kind of leaning that way until the page is cleaned up a bit.jfg284 14:36, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, but I have to agree with jfg284 that the article could use some work; for example, the "quotes" section needs to be a bit more discriminating in its selection (many of the quotes there are useful as verification that the guy is cited in newspapers, but not interesting in their own right). — Haeleth Talk 14:50, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Update: I see that this article may have some worth, and might even set a good precedent for what school principal articles need to attain. I'm working with the authors to cut down on the extracts from article and turn it into a short and sweet bio. Remember that this case will be cited by people who write future articles on principals, and may open the floodgates, but I see a purpose for it being here. Harro5 04:39, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete This really isn't expandable to much of a useful article or list. People probably wouldn't want to learn new acronyms for such, but if they encounter elsewhere and them and look them up (ie SA2), they'll find they go to the right place or disambiguation.

  • Comment: I do agree it's not all that useful, but I mainly wrote it so people won't get mixed-up with abbreviations.
    • A better way to incorporate it into existing material would be to mention the abbreviations at the lead of the articles with the full name and create redirects from the abbreviations to the full title. This way it is not only included but also useful. See Wikipedia:Redirect if you want to learn about redirection. Don't be discouraged, it takes time to get used to how Wikipedia works. Keep contributing and ask if you are not sure on how to handle something. - Mgm|(talk) 14:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

    • Entries for companies should take into account the guidelines at WP:CORP, to determine whether the company is suitable for an article at all; if the company is suitable, then furthermore the article should be written with a neutral point of view, which means that language which sounds like it comes from a press release is not appropriate. Read over the article again: you can probably see why squibix assumed it was copied from a press release! (No vote.) — Haeleth Talk 15:24, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

        • Wikipedia is not the place for autobiography, be it personal or corporate. Writing about one's own organization is top of the Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas. It can be done, but it requires that one be extremely scrupulous. The way to write about your own company is to base the article entirely upon multiple, cited, sources that are independent of the company itself (and of you), such as third-party corporate biographies and reports. Do not write from your own firsthand knowledge. If there are not multiple independent sources available, then the company simply does not satisfy the WP:CORP criteria.

Using my very limited knowledge of the Norwegian language to parse through websites leads me to believe that this band plays various venues in Oslo, but has not yet recorded an album. Delete unless some indication that this band meets commonly accepted guidelines for inclusion of musical groups. --Allen3 talk 19:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

The band has in fact recorded a demo, http://www11.nrk.no/urort/user/?id=26495 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.217.117.25 (talk • contribs) 23:51, November 12, 2005 (UTC)

Have they recorded any albums? Have they signed a contract to record any albums? If so, with which label? Has the group conducted a tour outside of its hometown? Is there any plan to create an article for the group on the Norwegian language Wikipedia? Any type of solid information you can provide to distinguish this band from the multitude of other anonymous bands will greatly enhance the article's chance to survive this AfD. --Allen3 talk 01:07, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Please see this version. This article is a copy from another website and is currently tagged as copyvio. However, someone claims permission on the talk page. Rather than soliciting permission only for it to later be deleted, we are now posting questionable pages here before soliciting permission. (See our discussion.)

The result of the debate was very close. Vote count is 9 delete, 4 keeps from registered users, 1 keep from an anon with no reason. I am closing this as a no consensus keep because the article has been somewhat rewritten during the course of the debate to make it look more like an encyclopedia article and less like an obituary which might address some of the "Wikipedia is not a memorial" concerns. I realize that this one is shaky, but I am in doubt here. A renomination of this article might be in order. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:08, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tran Quoc Binh

It is a Vietnamese American soldier obituary. The article doesn't establish why he is notable besides serving in the recent Iraq war and the first Vietnamese American solider died. Also, the article has some POV issues in the "Biography" section which is not my reason for deletion. The reason for the nomination: Wikipedia is not a memorial. J. Nguyen 05:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete for the same reasons as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Victor R. Lu. Very sad, but Wikipedia is not a memorial, and other memorials are out there for him. —HorsePunchKid→龜 06:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep "On November 12, 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a state decree that the California Capitol flags were to be flown at half-staff in honor of Sergeant Tran Quoc Binh." notable enough for me, plus its well sourced and verifiable FRS 19:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: The problem with that is...the source for the information regarding the flag only came from a weblog entry in the External links section. I tried to search it for with "Tran Quoc Binh" + Schwarzenegger and it is not getting good results on the flag just that weblog and Wikipedia mirror sites that refer to it. --J. Nguyen 22:28, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: One more note on the weblog that mentioned the half-staff information, I browsed through it and the recent weblog entries regarding a service person's [35] untimely death. Most of the entries regarding someone's death entry includes these lines in the end: "In honor of <Insert Name>, Capitol flags will be flown at half-staff." As you already know, there are a couple of thousand American soliders have died in the Iraq war. It seems Governor Schwarzenegger would announce anytime a Californian service person that has died in Iraq. He will issued a statement and announced the Capitol flags were to be flown at half-staff. Then Wikipedia should include articles about these Californian soliders: Sgt. 1st Class James F. Hayes, Capt. Raymond D. Hill II, Sgt. Shaker T. Guy, and so on... --J. Nguyen 22:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • hmmmmmmmm, well you're right that the flag-at-half-staff seems to be S.O.P. Nevertheless, I will maintain my vote to keep. The information is verifiable and notable enough to me. --FRS 15:58, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable for much more than the irony. I consider he would have been worthy of article even if he had survived. -WCFrancis 20:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep- Normally I'm against articles on non-notable people that have had notable events happen to them; the article should be on the event. And Tran Buoc Binh seems not to be notable for anything other than being the first Vietnamese-American to die in the Iraq conflict. However I don't see how you can avoid it in this case.

[edit] Appearance of Conflict of Interest?

There appears to be some good information ( for example: http://twenteenthcentury.com/uo/index.php/HotTipsForEmailers ) and easy peer supported forking and linking redundant components of the campus to allow for rapid expansion as demand grows.

I am concerned that this request for deletion, although probably motivated by the stubbiness of the article or concern that this was a promotion entry, may be viewed by others as fear of competition and undue influence by the Wikimedia Foundation. Since this project appears to peer based (perhaps based upon mnet, gnunet, groksters et. al. and other emerging peer technologies) and encourages participants to set up and manage their own servers it has the potential to scale up rapidly once it hits critical mass.

Considering the methods whereby Wikipedia and Wikimedia starts as attempts to bolster a failing dot com and then work organized by the cabal off the mailing without participation at the meta site (which was being used to stall energetic newcomers with busy work .... or perhaps as a site to harvest others notes, homework or entrepreneurial efforts) I think we (Wikipedia) would be well advised to bend over backwards to avoid the appearance that we hampering or discouraging other volunteer/participatory sites prototyping other organizational and business models. We do not wish to present the misimpression that we view the planet as big enough for only one wiki and we intend to own/control that wiki/modern grid.

I vote NO. Do not delete competitions article. Rather I intend to embrace and expand the stub while I keep an eye on the site and explore its material, processes, licenses, etc. user:lazyquasar

  • Request for information. lazyquasar, I wouldn't read too much into the nomination for deletion. I very much doubt the nominator was trying to suppress any competition - he probably thought the article was a hoax. So did I at first.

[edit] Vilamoura International School

  • Delete as a not particularly noteworthy school. Anville 12:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Few bus stops teach 600 pupils of 30 nationalities. Dlyons493 Talk 14:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Please add such information to the article. The number of students in a school is vital for a school article and for an international school it's very useful to also determine the number of nationalities they teach. - Mgm|(talk) 15:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep to counter systemic bias. People have succeeded in spamming Wikipedia with thousands of substubs about non-notable US schools, so since it's impossible to clean that mess up thanks to block-voting inclusionist extremists, the only alternative is to add articles on global schools, thus giving equal space to equally important topics. — Haeleth Talk 14:28, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, and the deletionists don't organise and block vote without considering content then? They certainly make lots of extremist comments, like comparing schools to bus stops. CalJW 21:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, if you remove the POV fluff there's nothing useful left to keep. But I'd be happy to see articles on schools outside the US if they contain some information, preferably information which sets it apart from other schools in the country. Post an article request at the WikiProject Schools so a proper article can be created. Articles aren't placeholders. - Mgm|(talk) 15:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. While basic education is laudable, it isn't inherently noteworthy. Any other Portugese institution of similar size and importance (club, business, church) would be deleted. I don't see why some people make special exceptions for schools. Durova 22:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Question: On the basis of which information in the 'article' do you want to keep this? I'm sure most of you read the article before entering your vote, but saying why you want to keep the article on this particular school is far more productive than just keeping any school on AFD. Please be helpful in ending the debate and share your reasoning for this particular article not school articles at large. -- Mgm|(talk) 14:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. a) This article teaches me about the school in question. b) It also helps me understand schools in Portugal, too, which is a good step towards WP:CSB. c) Just from a policy standpoint, I think schools are way more important than highways.

[edit] Vonbluvens

Started out as a vanity article by "Vonbluvens" himself, but has since been turned into a mug slinging match between his friends and foes on blogs and forums. Definately not notable enough for an encyclopedia. He made local media ONCE, but that hardly makes one noteworthy enough for an encyclopedia entry.

  • Merge with National Socialist Movement (United States). Not noteworthy enough for a separate article. Durova 18:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Vonbluvens is a well-known figure in the field, hosting a long-time internet radio show. Given the fluid nature of fringe politics (he's now feuding with the VNN, with whom he formerly worked) Vonbluvens may not stay attached to the NSM which makes merging with that article is problematic. The story made more than the local media, and he is considered important by websites that watch neo-Nazis. -Willmcw 01:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Thank you for informing me. Given that I'm privately no fan of the white supremacist movement I'm rather pleased to learn about its fractiousness. However my standards as an editor remain unbiased: he is part of the larger organization. His greatest claim to outside media attention happened years ago when his wife hung a swastika flag inside their family home day care center. In no context would that merit a separate biographic article. Durova 01:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I really see this as marginal. He may not be notable enough, but I'm bothered by what looks like a nomination to delete being based on the controversy over the article. I'd like to see more discussion before I vote. - Dalbury (talk) 01:32, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
    • You may not have noticed that the controversy is centered around the inclusion of non-encyclopediac information, which is what this request for deletion is based upon. Almost none of the information presented as "fact" is verifiable by any trusted source. Willmcw even goes so far as to rely on blogs and forums as authorative encylopediac sources. Being subject to "controversy" should not prevent this Afd from equal consideration. 196.207.45.254 06:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
      • FYIBlogs and forums are listed in the external links section, but have not been used as sources, to the best of my knowledge, except as sources for themselves (i.e. that Vonbluvens posts to those sites). -Willmcw 07:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
        • I apply uniform standards for noteworthiness regardless of whether I agree with the subject. I have voted for the deletion of individual veteran memorials, which pains me because I am a war veteran myself. Here I see evidence that the organization is notable but the individual insufficiently so. Durova 18:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with National Socialist Movement (United States). Durova has convinced me. [Note to closing admin - if you don't want to do the work of merging give me a holler.] -Willmcw 10:59, 15 November 2005
  • Keep Actually VonBluvens has made the news on more than one occassion including being kicked out of a neighbourhood watch organization for his nazi beliefs. His hosting a numbe of media shows as well as frequent clashes with fellow white supremicists has made him a well known and notateble figure in the neo nazi arena. 14211022732 15 Nov 2005 (142.110.227.32 (talk · contribs))
  • Keep VonBluvens has been a noteworthy player in the neo nazi movement for about 8 years. I think he warrents an entry. And as willmcw states he may not stay with the NSM. VonBluvens has a history of making enemies and burning bridges (NIM, VNN, Hal Turner) so it is a real posibility he may split with the NSM. Thus the article should not be merged. 15 Nov 2005 (198.53.150.56 (talk · contribs))
    • Comment. This vote originally was supposedly signed by 142.110.227.32 (talk · contribs), although the history shows that the editor was 198.53.150.56 (talk · contribs). The anon user 198.53.150.56 (talk · contribs) then added to the vote reasons and replace "142.110.227.32" with "198.53.150.56". 198.53.150.56 (talk · contribs) has edited only the article Template:Vonbluvons and this discussion. - Dalbury [[User_talk:Dalbury|(talk)]] 10:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with National Socialist Movement (United States). Not notable enough for seperate entry but can be mentioned on the NSM page. 196.207.45.254 16:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seems interesting enough. (131.137.245.197  (talk · contribs))

Seeing as I have read it in its entirety (unreleased portions, included) I would submit that it indeed affects a real community of people among whom it is quite famous, and grossly transcends fanfiction in its scope. Nevertheless, this article was perhaps ill-timed and had not been fully fleshed out to present the exceptional quality of the story, and will return in a more appropriate season, I'm sure.MistressSazha 01:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
