[edit] Gun ban
Is there any truth to what it says in this article? Is it useful? If not then delete. CarDepot 20:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Gun politics (which is where gun control already points). I have taken liberty of doing exactly that. - Mike Rosoft 21:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep an article on making it illegal to buy and sell guns sounds useful to me. Earthling37 21:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect, already covered under Gun Politics. IMHO, previous redirect by Mike Rosoft is simply being bold and has no bearing on AfD.--Isotope23 21:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Exactly where does it tell in the Gun Politics article about the idea of making it illegal to buy, sell and make guns. Earthling37 22:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment, I think "many countries have an outright ban on full-automatic weapons, and some countries ban nearly all kinds of firearms..." under Degrees of Gun Control seems to cover that. If that is not sufficient, then by all means expand the Gun Politics article.--Isotope23 01:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Exactly where does it tell in the Gun Politics article about the idea of making it illegal to buy, sell and make guns. Earthling37 22:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect. I would have simply have done it rather than bring this to AfD. MCB 22:16, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. 64.200.124.189 22:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand. An article about gun banning which is a part of Gun Politics would be very useful, but the article needs expansion. Science3456 22:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with gun politics (as I had proposed on WP:DA). Aecis 23:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand. As far as I've read, the idea about the illegalization of guns is not mentioned in the Gun Politics article. FireTracks 23:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect. --Calton | Talk 00:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand. Garr 02:20, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect. - All of the gun topics on wiki could use work. It has been hard enough to keep "gun control" and "gun rights" under the neutral topic "gun politics". This current article adds no value, and I can't conceive of anything it could add that doesn't either belong in "gun politics" or in one of the nation specific articles.

- Delete; we don't have any guidelines on notability for typographers, but I'd suggest as a first consideration that notability in this regard should probably involve your typefaces having been used by multiple mainstream presses at the very least. — Haeleth Talk 18:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Martin Enda Marren
An anonymous user has posted at Wikipedia:Help desk claiming to be the creator of this and several other articles and that these articles are hoaxes that should now be deleted. [1]. Unfortunately, the person asking for deletion is at a different IP address than the original creator, and the articles have been edited by other people. I believe most of these articles are probably speediable under G1 - hoax because not enough factual context is provided to allow anyone turn the article into something real. However, "Enda Marren" has survived VfD and "Enda Marren" + "Dublin" gets one Google hit, therefore, I will list this one for AfD. Johntex\talk 00:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as nominator. Several of the other articles are more clearly hoaxes. This one may not be, so I listed here. However, even if this article is about the person found by Google, I see nothing to show that the person is notable enough for inclusion, so I would vote to delte under A7 for lack of notability. Johntex\talk 01:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Keep He certainly exists and is active in Irish politics. Since he survived a recent Afd I don't feel he should be re-submit right now[2] Dlyons493 Talk 01:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment- the AfD had only 2 votes. Therefore, I don't think the prior AfD should cary much weight Johntex\talk 01:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Is "Enda Marren" the same person as "Martin Enda Marren"? I can't find any source for MEM being his name.--Isotope23 03:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, stubbify. -- NSLE (Communicate!) <Contribs> 01:24, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep what can be verified. Trollderella 01:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. "Enda Marren" is verifiable [3], but "Martin Enda Marren" is not. Can someone source that this person's name is indeed "Martin Enda Marren"? I would change my vote if this person is indeed named Martin, but as it stands I recommend the text of this article be moved to Enda Marren (dropping the Martin of course) which currently is a redirect here and delete the version under this name. as far as I can tell, this person does not exist and the article text actually refers to Enda Marren.--Isotope23 03:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Short of 'phoning Fine Gael I can't see if Martin Enda Marren exists and/or is the same as Enda Marren. The latter does exist and I suggest I expand that entry slightly (see eg info from his old school in the link). That names his practice as Enda E Marren which argues a little against Martin Enda Marren as being his full name, but it's not conclusive (could be his father or something). Then Martin Enda Marren can be put to rest. If anyone wants to search add Fine Gael which is his political party to the search string! [4] Dlyons493 Talk 05:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
-
- Comment Martin Enda Marren was the name used in the first sentence of the article by the anonymous poster who created the article. That is why I moved the page to that name and made the redirect. The person who claimed it was a hoax mentioned several other articles [[5] that have checked out as hoaxes, such as the claim that the Marren surname is tied to the "Earl of Kensington", which turns out not to exist. Johntex\talk 16:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- delete Martin Enda Marren; keep Enda Marren. All sources seem to indicate that the name is only the latter. Martin may have been added by a misreading of lists in which he follows or precedes Senator Martin Mansergh as an Irish presidential appointment, and may well be a hoax. I also seem to not find support for his being a barrister, but rather a solicitor. jnothman talk 08:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Move to Enda Marren, and cleanup/expand. - Mike Rosoft 12:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)- Since a much better article has been created at Enda Marren, delete (and possibly redirect). - Mike Rosoft 16:40, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Martin Enda Marren and Keep Enda Marren. I've now added what's verifiable into the latter. Dlyons493 Talk 12:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Angry Asian Man
Non-notable topic; no legitimate sources support the article, sources are made up by personal websites and blogs, violating WP:OR and WP:NOT#BLOG. Chris! my talk 21:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I also nominate this redirect for deletion.Chris! my talk 06:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a directory of slang or neologisms. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 21:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - It appears to be quite a well known sterotype, including a article about the blog at the Washington Post, see the links. It turned up over two million ghits, I know I know, WP:GHITS, however I say it should be kept, but sourced more so. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 23:18, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NEO, WP:RS, WP:CITE, and WP:OR. Possibly WP:NOT#BLOG. The article simply violates too many policies. Chris! my talk 23:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete = WP:NEO says it all. --Markdsgraham 00:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. This isn't about a stereotype of angry Asian men -- it's about one Asian man, angry about stereotypes, and attempts to WP:COATRACK, or something, their self-chosen labels into a stereotype of its own. None of the sources really supports this. --Dhartung | Talk 01:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Delete this is also in violation of the no advertising category, it does not meet notability standards, NPOV and violates pretty much everyother basic principles of WP, i agree with every other delete comment and why, grossly violates the no OR rule.CholgatalK! 02:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- 'Keep' I think this should be kept. Angry Asian Man is pretty well known webpage and specially asian people know about it. This article is well developed though. Keep it or otherwise someone is going to create it again, so this point is moot. 75.166.55.118 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 03:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- comment well known to whom? it doubt it has significant enough traffic to merritt an article. It has to be proven its well known, have any sources? I could write a well developed article on my blog too, it would also and should also be deleted, because its not notable enough. Articles which are deleted are always easily and quickly redleted again and again, so that is not a problem. This has happened before and theres ways of dealing with it. In fact if it is recreated too often, it can be disabled from recreation entirely. I think its a subltle threat from you over recreation of the article. The burden of proof lies with anyone which wants to save this article. I suggest the creator of that blog try to attract more readers if he wants an article on wikipedia or that he begin a wikia project or find some other encyclopedia to become a part of.CholgatalK! 05:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russell Goldencloud Weiner
Non-encyclopedic huckster whose creation (Rockstar) is also up for deletion. Oh, and he has a famous (?) daddy. BrainyBroad 02:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Note—The primary definition of "huckster" at dictionary.com [6] is "a peddler or hawker." I suspect this article exists only in relation to the Rockstar advertisement, leading to my use of the word. No other meaning was intended. However, since we're throwing around wiki rules, how about WP:AGF?? BrainyBroad 03:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing notable about subject. (However, nothing in the article to suggest that creator is a huckster.) ERcheck 02:45, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete... no reason to attack the guy in your nom (see WP:CIVIL). Creator of an energy drink, and not an especially popular one at that. Having a famous parent does not confer notability in my opinion either. I'd say delete, or possibly merge into the energy drink article. Drink article is up for AfD too, but I have no opinion on that. A stronger case could be made for the notability of the creation than for the creator though.--Isotope23 02:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Comment I'm not convinced it's that notable. I see only 70 Googles (not 700) and some are wiki mirrors. [9] is one of them and it's sceptical - thinks that is just two-pieces of carbon that short-circuit. Since we're dealing with a commercial product which has an advertising budget dedicated to getting it coverage I'd err on the side of caution and delete. If it's really notable it will appear from third parties. Dlyons493 Talk 14:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Nothing verifiable about this component or material is known, except that it is not, contrary to the current text of the article, patented (at least in the US).

Which this isn't. (And don't get me wrong, I would love it if this could just be deleted right away since it's painfully obvious that it's not a serious article, cannot be salvaged and even the article title cannot really be used for anything else, but the fact remains that it's not eligible for speedy deletion.) -- Captain Disdain 04:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. The "average professor" case is not one where we should apply A7 speedy delete. That is applicable when the article makes no claim of notability about its subject. The article states :"Paulin Tay Straughan is a sociologist working at the National University of Singapore (NUS). She is the vice-dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences(FASS), and also serves as the deputy head of the sociology department at FASS. She has a PhD in sociology and is an associate professor." That is an assertion of notability. It does not establish notability but that is a different case. I would vote to delete as the article does not state what Ms Straughan has contrbuted to the discipline but it is not a speedy. Further, my vote could easily change if someone could refer to her research.
Delete - Speedy Delete It is
almostnot an A7/nn-bio. More signficantly, per G7, the user requested its speedy deletion *before* anybody else edited it. Even after that point, there's been little revision. Logic dictates we let people speedy delete their self-admitted mistakes. If this person is really notable (I doubt) then somebody will likely create a fresh new article. --rob 10:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC) - Comment. This article is eligible for a G7 speedy. However, it does not come within a bull's roar of an A7 non-notable deletion and should not be considered to be a precedent for any other "average professor" articles. As always, we should be very careful not to delete notable people because their current article isn't up to scratch. Speedy Delete under G7. Capitalistroadster 10:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Spencer himself agrees that I do not merit my own link. However, I strongly argue that www.trikepilot.com does.

Please feel free to suggest how one could otherwise provide this information to the wikipedia without uploading 5Gb or more of videos and content to the wikipedia server? As far as the link is concerned for Spencer Forman, feel free to kill it... that was a sandbox mistake that got out into the wild and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. —Spineight→龜 05:52, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

If you follow the link, you will see that the idea of the "Stone Rule" is originated and circulated by Christians, in the context of clarifying and discussing the Golden Rule vis-a-vis other, not so good, rules, which they reject.

[edit] Stripped art
Ad for nn company Delete --JAranda | watz sup 08:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- This complaint states that the entry in question is an "advertisement for a non-notable company."
- To address this I have demonstrated below::
- (1)What an advertisment is...
- (2)How this article is no different from similar, existing articles which could under the definition applied also be construed as advertisements.
- (3)What makes something notable...
- (4)How the subject of this entry is "notable."
- (5)Therefore, this entry should be approved and included in Wikipedia.
- (1)WHAT IS AN ADVERTISEMENT?
- source:: www.dictionary.com
- Advertise: To make public announcement of, especially to proclaim the qualities or advantages of (a product or business) so as to increase sales.
- (2) Does this article aim only to "proclaim the qualities or advantages of 'stripped art' so as to increase sales"? No.
- It describes an organization objectively, but does not promote the organization.
- It describes the organization in a manner similar to that in which Wikipedia describes Playboy. How can one then allow Playboy to have a Wikipedia entry, but not Stripped Art?
- (3) Notability?
- WHAT MAKES SOMETHING NOTABLE?
- source:: www.dictionary.com
- adj Notable: Worthy of note or notice; remarkable:: notable beauty; sled dogs that are notable for their stamina.
- This definition does not say that something is "notable" only because thousands of people know about it already...
- But it does say the thing must be "worthy of notice."
- Now, the fact that thousands of people already know about something could make it notable. But not necessarily. Millions of people are aware that Brad Pitt left Jennifer Anniston. Is it notable? Is it worthy of putting in Wikipedia? No.
- Then we need a different test. Let's look to the definition of notable, then.
- Worthy of notice. What makes something worthy of notice? Well, why do we have Wikipedia in the first place? To educate through informing.
- What does this article do? It informs people about a unique business and a unique business concept that yes, thousands of people do already know about. But that shouldn't make it notable.
- Then why is it notable? Because the business model can be applied to funding other kinds charities. There is a method, and method can be adopted by others. That is "worthy of notice." And a lot worthier than a great deal of the content already on this site.

- Delete my criteria for notability are increasingly liberal - but this is nowhere close. No alexa rating - no evidence of exteral discussion/review or media interest.

- Research turns up no published works whatsoever by independent sources (no newspaper features, no corporate histories or biographies, no consumer reports) on the subject of this company.

- Delete as non-notable and border line advert per the author's (?) notability argument above that "Because the business model can be applied to funding other kinds charities. There is a method, and method can be adopted by others...". This would appear to be a clear indication that the article is at least in part intended to be an advertisement for the company's business model.

- Weak delete - unlike the other two (Tracie Cullum, Daniel McGann), Yates may actually have been a racist murder; I'm not sure if this justifies Yates himself having an entry. If the murder itself is notable, maybe it should be mentioned somewhere else, not in an article about Yates, who is otherwise non-notable. Not sure where that somewhere else would be - some UK race-relations article? Not sure either whether it is notable. It may be too recent to say. Rd232 talk 11:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- A Google suggests he died a year ago this week. BBC News Online has just two entries, both on local pages, nothing national. I'd say that a year with no more news, plus the lack of a national story on the UK's most comprehensive news site suggests that the story is over and the unfortunate Mr Yates is a non-notable - just another statistic, sadly. ●REDVERS HELLO●EMAIL●DOINGS 11:24, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural references in Pokémon
This is still a list of random historical or pop-culture "references" in Pokémon, and is a collection of indiscriminate trivia. There's no good place to merge it, and no real use for it as a standalone article. The Pokémon Wikiproject, as far as I can tell, hasn't shown much interest in fiddling with this list of trivia, and other than some vandalism patrol and bot changes, it hasn't been touched since the last AFD.
Please note that this is not a merge target, and deleting it will not result in a bunch of Pokémon stubs popping up.
For those interested, this has been on AFD twice before. The previous AFDs are here and here. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 13:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Speedy Keep You have attempted to VfD this article twice in the past two months. Both times it was kept. Do not attempt to delete articles through attrition. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I listed this for AFD a month and a half ago; Apostrophe listed it a second time a week later, and I would have advised him not to. Both times it has received a majority of delete votes; the last AFD had a 2d:1k ratio, with several of the keeps because of the too-quick relist.
Note that it has been a month since any non-vandal, non-bot edit of this article, despite being listed on the Pokémon Wikiproject's talk page. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)- Going a month without a major edit is hardly a reason to delete a substantial article which survived two very recent deletion attempts. If you really want it deleted, unlist it and try again in 6 months. 3 AfDs in two months is completely unacceptable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Both times it barely survived AFD for reasons unrelated to the quality of the article (a mistaken belief that it was a merge target, a much-too-soon relist). Both times it received a majority of delete votes. The only relevant Wikiproject has no interest in doing anything with this. Had I just redirected this to Pokémon (anime), I'm doubtful anyone would have noticed.
Don't be so hung up on process, especially when there aren't any applicable formal rules. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)- There aren't any applicable formal rules?! Surely you've read and are familiar with Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which explicitly states: "In some cases, repeated attempts to have an article deleted may even be considered disruptive. If in doubt, don't delete!" No applicable rules indeed! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:16, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I'm curious what this AFD is disrupting, exactly. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Here's two for a start: (a) AfD now averages some 150+ entries a day, and is more than bloated enough without re-noms of things twice kept in less than two months (b) repeatedly re-nominating an article hurts its chance for natural development and cleanup, as editors are unlikely to work extensively to cleanup something that gets an AfD nomination every couple weeks.

- Keep This article will not get improved untill possible contributors to the article believe that their contributions will be kept. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - Unreferenced Original Research Cruft. I've not seen the "I Feel Skitty" episode, but does Meowth really kick someone in the style of Chun Li? Was this an actual cultural reference, or someone picking up the merest coincidence with something else? Meowth's ability to speak is reminiscent of Garfield? Even if the script writers confirmed these things, I still don't think Pokemon episodes should have every facet which deals with real life in a article. I mean, one of the episodes contains a samurai? Is this a notable event in the Pokemon world, do people sit up and think, "Wow, Samurai were mentioned, that's an important cultural reference in my favourite show!" - Hahnchen 16:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh dear. Have any of the reflexive "keep" voters actually read the article? User:A Man In Black is right, Despite the title, which might lead one to believe that it contains references to popular culture this is a unsalvageable grab-bag of trivia. Delete. Pilatus 16:45, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- As the other two AfDs, I have no idea what on earth to do with this. Its a garbled mess. I could do with splitting and merging between various articles but I don't want to do it.

- Keep While it has scraped through by the skin of its teeth twice, it has improved beyond being a list of "references to general human culture in Pokemon"! I will however pop it on my watchlist and if any edits I consider blatently ridiculous come up again I will delete them with haste. Lets face it, before the edits half of it was complete rubbish and I fear the article may well attract the same kind of blatently obvious and pointless trivia it contained before... I mean the prunes comment... bloody hell! *sigh* Jezze 18:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Strong delete. Sorry, but this is just inherently unencyclopedic triviacruft. Even in the cleaned-up version, it's mostly nonsense: half the "cultural references" are just phrases like "all's well that ends well" and "another one bites the dust" that are simply everyday cliches!

'All's well that ends well'? Considering that two sub-characters are called Romeo and Juliet, this could be easily seen as a cultural reference! See the article on cruft for one which is of equal merit to this (and yet it has been used in various offensive ways to the English language throughout this AFD)! Jezze 04:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

- Strong delete, plainly unencyclopedic; it not only an arbitrary list, but an arbitrary list based entirely on the interpretations, readings, and original research of a few editors. Relisting a deletion because new information has come up or because the original vote was based on errors strikes me as entirely approprate; but if deletion fails because its relisting was too soon, please do remember to list it again as soon as enough time has passed to dispel that concern. --Aquillion 04:06, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 6.001 (MIT)
Individual class; not notable Gerrit CUTEDH 14:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. - Gerrit CUTEDH 14:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Crikey! --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I think "Individual class; not notable" is a statement of fact followed by an assumption; the assumption might be a natural one but I think it may be mistaken in this case. 6.001 is not just a class but a particular course design and as the article mentions, the design of this specific course has been actually copied by other universities. I think voters should be careful to make sure they are assessing the notability of this core class at this highly famous and influential university, and not the notability of a generic class at a generic university. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as non-notable. Carioca 21:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: this article has existed for more than three years. Gerrit CUTEDH 21:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Not the perfect article, but I assure other editors that encyclopedic writing can be done about this subject. As far as "notability" is concerned, surely this is one of the most "notable" undergraduate computer science classes in the world. Having said that, I wouldn't like to see WP start mirroring course catalogues from every university either... Jkelly 22:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete ugh (i.e. nn). Dottore So 22:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. If someone wants to write an encyclopedic article on a particular teaching style in computer science, with references and explanation of why it is notable, fine, but that is by no means this. MCB 22:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Article asserts notability, and such is demonstrated. Come on; it's a notorious elementary programming class at MIT. Sounds notable. And the article doesn't mirror the course catalogue. Like many things at MIT, the class seems to have developed its own folklore. - Sensor 00:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- If this is worthy of inclusion, it seems to me it is only because it has been copied by other universities. If that's the case, surely it goes by another name? I've taken a bunch of classes in my day, but not one did I ever call "HIST 377" or anything. I'm still leaning going for delete, but if someone can offer a convincing move, and perhaps some tidying, I may reconsider. -R. fiend 14:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment At MIT numbers are used for everything. "History" is called "21H". Jkelly 23:53, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- But surely if it has been copied by other colleges (it's ownly potential claim of notability, as far as I can tell), they didn't keep this title. And (not that I know much about it) I have a hard time believing classes at MIT only go by numbers. When a father asks his son what classes he's taking, does he get the response "7.989, 45.997, 3.141592, and 77.771." Would that mean anything to anyone? -R. fiend 05:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think it's appropriate to ask "would the father of a student know what 6.001 is?" I don't think my father knows what Elias omega coding is but that doesn't mean it isn't notable among people who are versed in that field. In the same vein, I'm afraid I don't see why the fact that those people who know it know it by the number seems to be classed as an argument for its non-notability; is RU 486 non-notable because its designation is just letters and numbers? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- The question isn't whether the father would know what it meant, but what is a class actually called beyond a number designation. Surely when anyone discusses a class, they use some sort of descriptive words. Even the universal "101" has something describing what exactly it is you'll be studying at an introductory level. Other schools that teach this class must use a different title. Whenever I looked through a course catalog at any of the colleges I've taken classes at, I looked at the titles of classes, not just a bunch of numbers, because those meant nothing, and mean nothing without anoither context. -R. fiend 18:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

- Keep or Merge with West Des Moines until it can grow to the point where it's an article on its own. Karmafist 16:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Doing a merge accomplishes nothing but ensuring the article is not found in Category:High schools in Iowa or in any category. Categories are an essential part of navigation in Wikipedia, and redirects are not compatible with them. Right now, its a fairly easy matter to expand it, starting with the history of the school on the web site. A redirect ensures that its extremely unlikely for anybody, especially a newbie, will ever make a full article (as nobody wants to put lots of school history into an article about a city). --rob 21:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Prediction based on past school nominations this will end up roughly 50-50 keep/delete, after several days of acrimonious fighting.

[edit] Albert_Clark
Contains unverified claims of previously-unheard-of "Internet Pioneer" being "one of the primary drivers behind the modern computer revolution" and having made a decision that resulted in "makers of IBM clones and Microsoft" becoming "the standard". The talk page includes comments by his "old systems analyst" apparently trying to contact him, but it is unclear whether these are actual attempts at communication or attempts at giving the article credibility, written by the creator of the page himself (check the history of the article and the Talk page and look at the writing style). The article on personal computer contains an entire paragraph on Mr. Clark's alleged achievements, which claims that he had a pivotal role in making Intel processors "the standard". The person may very well be real but the "achievements" listed are completely unsubstantiated, so the article is at best a fraudulent vanity page (which should be removed) and at worst entirely false (in which case the page should also be removed and the personal computer article fixed). Google searches on Mr. Clark only turn up his resumé in the Google cache and a bunch of mirrors of his Wikipedia page. The likelihood that this is just a hoax is extremely high. Alskdj 16:33, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - I believe this article may be verifiable, it might just take longer than we're used to here. A Freedom of Information Act request should turn up any records the DoD has on Clark and his computer pioneering activities. As the world's largest source of information, we might even get the fees waived and the process expedited. Gentgeen 17:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and list for the appropriate sort of review/rfc/cleanup. AfD is a poor way to get an article verified -- "Verify it or the article dies!" -- and verification will probably take longer than an AfD-period. — mendel ☎ 17:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, information is unsubstantiated, unsourced, and not WP:V. If someone wants to get a FoIA request and attempt to verify this, that would be great, but I suspect you would be wasting time and money. If any of this were true, you would think there would be at least one passing mention of Mr. Clark somewhere on the web... but alas, all that exist are wiki mirrors and other Albert Clarks.--Isotope23 18:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete we can't take chances on potential hoaxes. It seems to me that a genuine internet pioneer would have a certain, y'know, internet presence as well, even if mostly in history documents and such. With nothing substantial on Google and no other sources to speak of, this has to go. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment substantial claims require a substantial body of evidence. This page should at least have a {{not verified}} template slapped on the top. Thanks. :) — RJH 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I would like to emphasize that there are three possibilities. Scenario 1: The information in the article is correct. It is claimed that a heretofore unknown person has had a hand in creating the Arpanet/Internet and played a crucial role in making PCs, Intel processors and Microsoft the industry standard. This is in violation of the "no original research" policy: absolutely no sources have been mentioned, unless the "contact attempts" on the Talk page are considered to be circumstantial evidence in favor of these claims. It appears to be extremely unlikely that the claims could be true. We should assume that this information does not check out, and the burden of proof should rest on those who claim that it does. Scenario 2: The article is correct for the most part but the information on Mr. Clark being an Internet pioneer is incorrect. In this case, the page fulfills the definition of a "WP vanity page" and should be removed. Scenario 3: This article is nonsense and should be removed. — In light of these three possibilities, I fail to see how this article could be retained unless someone steps forward and provides extraordinary evidence for the extraordinary claims made therein. Alskdj 21:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment 2 Upon closer examination, it seems that the major contributions to the content of this article have been made by a single person with two different userids plus one anonymous IP address, posing as several persons (see the Talk page history and work backwards from there if you're interested in the details or check out Special:Contributions/Albert.clark, Special:Contributions/Allynnc and the contributions by 209.22.221.73). Several dubious things stand out. To name just one example, a critical comment has been removed from the Talk page entirely and the Talk page has been edited in an incoherent manner, apparently to make the article seem more convincing. Furthermore, the talk pages related to these users and to the article in question are a complete mess and contain numerous claims that are patently bogus. For example, see User_talk:Allynnc where it is claimed that Mosaic (the web browser) existed as early as the late 1980s. Anyone who looks at the history of this article and the histories plus talk pages of the users involved should see that there's something fishy going on here. Alskdj 22:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete highly suspicious entry based on above. Dottore So 22:34, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Delete. I worked in this field from 1984-89, in ARPANET/MILNET design, testing, evaluation of equipment, network architecture, etc., on several government contracts including (mostly) the Air Force. I vaguely remember the name, but don't think of him as any sort of major figure in the field. I think the early history regarding network efforts and AUTODIN are probably correct, but to be frank, they do not really represent notable or widely-known developments in the field. I could probably write articles about at least half a dozen people involved in such projects -- myself included -- that were early implementors of network technology in DOD, but I don't believe that they necessarily warrant Wikipedia articles. And some editors appear to have wandered into the weeds of mythology here, too. MCB 22:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep This is an interesting piece of material which should be developed and perhaps finally placed in the Nihonjinron page, which should then be better linked to related pages. Ideas like this are widespread in Japan and they have major social implications. The key about the Japanese hypothesis one is that it can be tested and therefore refuted. Because including it here will allow contributors finesse it over time, it should be included from the npov from where it now sits.

- A line in the “Nihonjinron as pseudoscience” section of Nihonjinron should be sufficent to cover this idea. An article is not needed. I also remark that the two facts used to disprove the claim of Japanese diversity (short time for evolution and same diet of other people) do not in fact disprove the claim. They only disprove that the difference is due to evolution and not, for example, to genetic drift. As for the social implications of ideas such as this one, they should be discussed in the Nihonjinron article: I do not see how intestine lenght and pronunciation of r and l differ from this point of view.

Keep Interesting storm this. I feel the issue of Japanese intestines is important as a testable and refutable element of Nihonjinron. The same goes for the importance of blood as a social signifier in modern Japan; this ideas was originally mooted in Nazi Germany and is one of the remaining legacies of the Axis alliance. While I do not think this topic should unduly impinge into the medial explanation of intestines, it is important to hold the ideology of Nihonjinron up to a more public mirror. And Wikipedia is perfect for that. The consensus seems to be that the article should stay but should be more appropriately housed. The size of the final article would be largely determined by the information provided by contributors familiar with the debate and who could, in accordance with Wikipedia's policy, enlighten the rest of us and. mpre importantly perhaps, chauvinistic Japanese who believe in unscientific fables like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.229.236.136 (talk • contribs)

Genetic Drift There is also debate in Japan about the earliest foind specimens of pottery in the Jomon era; several researchers tried to maintain that Japanese pottery preceded Chinese and that the Japanese were therefore superior; the Nazis had an interest in archaelogy for much the same dark reasons. Genetic drift would take a much longer time to manifest itself and it is not clear why it would manifest itself with the Japanese and not the Indians. This important point could also be included in a revamped entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.229.236.136 (talk • contribs)

I don't think the article should be deleted, but added as a sub-page to nihonjinron. Anyway, this scientific study that I found through Google scholar has a possible explanation for the myth.http://www.springerlink.com/(mlmsb445aiduhp55ykroozuw)/app/home/contribution.asp?referrer=parent&backto=issue,1,13;journal,20,57;linkingpublicationresults,1:100430,1 Abstract
Background and aims. Colonic diverticula are located predominantly on the right-side in patients in Japan, in contrast to those in Europe and the United States. This study compared the etiology of right-sided diverticula in Japan with that of left-sided diverticula in the West.
Methods. A literature review was conducted from 1950 to 2001 using Medline and Index Medicus.
Results. Diverticula occur predominantly in the right-sided colon (over 70%) in Japanese patients, and even among Japanese who emigrate, in contrast with the diverticula in Western. Incidence (detection) rates of colon diverticula have rapidly increased in Japan since World War II with the increased dietary fiber intake. The increased detection rate over time is higher in urban areas than in rural areas, and it corresponds to the distribution of dietary fiber intake. Birth cohort analysis suggests that right-sided diverticula is affected more by environmental factors than other types. Furthermore, the significant relationship of right-sided diverticula with intraluminal pressure in Japan is similar to that of left-sided diverticula in the West, and the pathological feature of these diverticula are similar.
Conclusion. The etiology of right-sided diverticula in Japan (and perhaps also other Mongolian peoples) is very similar to that of left-sided diverticula in the West. The location may represent a difference in morphology of the large intestine between Mongolians (including Japanese), and Westerners, rather than environmental differences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mutantfrog (talk • contribs)
Delete per JFW and Paolo Liberatore; the article is pointless alarmism masquerading as widespread political opinion. Had the researcher provided several verifiable sources to support the assertion that many agree with the minister of agriculture, there may have been just cause to produce this "rebuttal-like" entry as a footnote to the Nihonjinron entry in a NPOV tone. 219.5.144.3 (talk · contribs) 17:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I wanted to note here that the belief is widespread in Japan. All one need do is to do a search on a Japanese search engine. When I type in the phrase "nihonjin no chou" (Japanese intestines) and "nagasa" (length) at Yahoo! Japan, I get 143,000 hits. If nothing else, this belief deserves at least being mentioned under nihonjinron. --Matt Dioguardi (first edit by Matt Dioguardi (talk · contribs) -- Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 11:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC))

- Comment with due respect to the previous discussant, citing Yahoo! Japan and other Japanese search engines as "verifiable sources" to the assertion that many agree with the minister of agriculture, is weak and suspect, and should not be used as a litmus test for encyclopedia entries. By entering the same keyword searches for "American," "British" or "Western" intestinal length one gets 276,000 hits, 121,000 hits, and 161,000 hits, respectively. Do these relatively high number of hits suddenly tell us that Americans, British, or Westerns generally believe their intestines to be longer? Of course not. In fact, these numbers tell us nothing at all except that the keywords appear somewhere on the pages in question. A more convincing (and verifiable) source would be a formal nationwide survey, or poll, or series of public statements by elected officials or columnists that explicitly agree with the assertion. Anything else is baseless supposition. Delete per JFW and Paolo Liberatore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.5.144.3 (talk • contribs) 05:34, 5 November 2005
keep I typed in "British intestin" and " Western intestin" and got no hits on yahoo search. This indicates, as has been pointed out, that the difference is a POV in Japan but not the West. The point about the claim, which most of us suspect has no factual basis, is it is statistically testable. It is, like the idea of blood being a significant signifier, widely adhered to in Japan. Comprehensive encyclopedias must cover modern myths as well as more ancient ones and show us where they can lead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.229.233.242 (talk • contribs) 06:25, 5 November 2005

Comment to Keep: This article raises a number of interesting hypotheses, none of which have been significantly/scientifically proved or disproved anywhere and some of which can lead to nasty conclusions in line with the Nihonjonron/Nazi thesis/theses. There is an eminently testable hypothesis here: that there is a significant difference in length between the intestines of one "people" and those of (all) others. The idea that the intestines of the Japanese are different is used to prop up the idea, widely held in Japan, that the Japanese are different and somehow superior and special. As part of this process, the idea's apologists come up with figures comparing the relative lengths of the intestines of all kinds of animals, in some Japanese version of The Ascen]]t of Man. In targeting this social, "pseudo-fascist" myth, we end up having to address a wide number of issues, including the lengths of intestines of humans and all other animals. Wikipedia is the perfect place to pool our common, if limited knowledge together in a positive way and not to get bogged down in pedantry or cheap irrelevant shots/deletions. (anonymous aka Mambo)

- Delete - The fact this group "New California Republic" has a web site, doesn't make them notable. Most obscure fringe groups have web sites. Also, not that it matters, but the above web site, seems to propose something different than the article (e.g. a country made only of the US state). However, I only gave it a short read, and can't tell. It really doesn't matter. --rob 22:46, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete; Aecis' first idea was right. There are exceptions to the crystal ball policy, in particular when the event will almost surely take place or when the proposal is really notable. This seems not to be the case, however. A search for “link:www.newcaliforniarepublic.org” on Google returned that only 27 pages link the web site of the organization (including the pages in the site). I do not especially trust Google for establishing notability in general, but in this case I think it's fairly accurate. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 00:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: WP is not a crystal ball, but there has been enough talk about California secession/division that this may well rank its own article. - Sensor 00:43, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment an article about a current and notable controversy is perfectly fine. In this case, the article should be named Controversy on California secession or something similar, and contain information about the controversy (who proposed separation, etc.). In this particular case, I have some doubts about the notability of such a controversy. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 14:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone provides good, solid, verifiable evidence that the phrase "New California Republic" is in genuine, widespread use in California and not just promotion for a website. I am very skeptical (hence my provisional "delete") because the article conspicuously fails to cite any references and because Googling on exact phrase "New California Republic" gives unimpressive results. The serious prospect of a "New California Republic" would be of national concern, so I think it is also revelant that an online search of The New York Times from 2000-present yields no occurrences of the exact phrase "New California Republic."

[edit] Southern Ivy League
Although it is qualified as "colloquial term," this term appears to have been invented by the author. While I can imagine colloquialisms like "Southern Ivy" or "Southern Ivies," the very nature of a League is formal, and no formal relationship exists between any of these schools, as the article itself mentions. Furthermore, unlike Public Ivies, Little Ivies, Jesuit Ivy and other terms that derive from the Ivy League, this term appears to have no historic context or documentation to support it besides the subjective opinions of contributing Wikipedians 129.105.35.219 20:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Not only are no sources given for this subjective list of "prestigious" Southern schools, I note that no sources for the "Magnolia League" mentioned in the article are given, either. This is really just a subjective list of good schools together with a proposal for their promotion. Neither is encyclopedic. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I have heard this term used in the South, but not with the consistency or frequency necessary to warrant an article. Xoloz 22:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - This is a widely used term in Southern academia. It is acknowledged to be a colloquial term in the article. Just because some other people haven't heard of it, it's no less valid. I know the Magnolia League was a proposal in the mid-to-late '90's. Check with the student government archives at Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, etc. I don't think the author made it up, because I have been hearing it for the past 20 years. Why delete a phrase that many Southern wiki-users know? That smacks of regionalism.

Evolution poll moved to Creation-evolution poll: Was deleted in part because misnamed: "it is not a poll on evolution but rather a poll about the creation-evolution controversy"
- However, looking at the AfD, its pretty obvious that the consensus was that if information was to be merged, it should be merged into creation-evolution controversy.

- Quoted from WP:WEB
"1. Having an Alexa ranking of 10,000 or better 2. Having been the subject of national or international media attention within the last 2 years 3. Having a forum with 5,000 or more apparently unique members"
The site is short on its Alexa, however it has been the subject of media attention, and I am referring to the site itself, rather than the forum. It has a forum with approximately 5,000 members, and has had forum membership above that at times. In addition the policies and procedures of the forum have been a topic of discussion on the internet for many years and its procedures have been a reason for the creation of many other forums in the genre as a model and as a counter. It is historically noteworthy in this regard for its forum mamagement, in addition to its content on the actual site itself. Arckanghel
- I do consider WP:WEB to be a pretty good guide to which sites are noteworthy. While it is impressive that the site has been covered by Electronic Gaming Monthly, I don't consider this to be a worthy national media source, since it isn't broad in it's subject matter. What is important to EGM isn't necessarily notable. Also, I'd like to know exactly how EGM covered FFO. Was it a full-page article, or just a sentence or two and a URL? 4,776 forum members is close to the guideline (which I feel is too low anyway.) How many of those users are actually active?
- Basically, I'm still not yet convinced. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 02:17, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- The media coverage in print is shown here http://www.ffonline.com/site/press.htm. There has been more in depth coverage in online sources such as ZDNet & IGN, but I don't have a link for those on hand.

[edit] Rant
Is a dictdef which a page in Wiktionary already exists... bottom links also look more like web advertising rather than informative links. 'Delete.Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:53, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete It's not even a good dicdef, and I can't conceive of anything that could go into this article that would change its dicdef status. Except for maybe links to examples of rants - but that would need deletion too. The Literate Engineer 08:24, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Famous Heterosexuals
This page is not really a re-creation of "List of people who have publicly denied being gay", but it is essentially the same topic, which has already been judged unencyclopedic and voted for deletion. I can do no better than quote Sherool's nomination, in which he said "I feel this is non-encyclopedic, and while the persons are notable in the vast majority of cases their mere denial of being gay is not. It is basically a list of people who have responded in a certain way to rumors or sometimes (joking) questions from the press. Verifiable and factual yes, but not encyclopedic or particularly helpful. I can't think of any use for such a list...To sum up: If this information belong anywhere at all it's the 'trivia' section of the respective persons articles, not on a list of every famous person who's ever said 'I'm not gay' in public. " Delete. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Could someone explain why it is ok for there to be a list of Famous Homosexuals but not a list of Famous Heterosexuals? grazon 00:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per Dpbsmith. This is essentially listcruft in the same vein as the recently deleted list of "men famous for being well endowed." I would argue that this list isn't even WP:V in the strictest sense. If is were titled "List of Famous People who have Claimed to be Heterosexual" it would be verifiable, but a person saying they are heterosexual in an interview doesn't necessarily make it so. Even retitled though it is of dubious encyclopedia value.--Isotope23 02:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Move to its correct title List of people who have denied being gay and then delete it. ♠DanMS 03:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: Well, we have a list of deaf people; so does that mean we need to have a list of hearing people? If we have a list of amputees, do we need a "list of people who still have all four limbs"? Such lists would be very long, boring and pointless. (Note: I am not equating homosexuality with disability; it's just an example.) HollyAm 04:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
