• Delete or speedy delete: It looks like it might be the sort of "blatant copyvio" that can qualify for speedy, as the author put the source right up there at the top and then did a cut and paste. At any rate, it's just a party. Get out there with posters and staplers, folks, and don't use Wikipedia to advertise globally for your local shindig. (Isn't there a Univision show Sabado Gigante that is sometimes called Super Sabado Gigante? Perhaps a redirect there?) Geogre 13:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Made-up indeed. I think a better term would be American-Canuck. Ha ha ha, I kid. Croat Canuck 05:00, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Even the 69 Google hits seem mainly to be misspelled references to "Can-Do American", i.e. the iconic assertive American male who "can do" in the sense of "knows how to get things done". The only references I can find to this phrase meaning anything remotely connected to Canada are in French, and even there it's a mostly unattested word referring to the Canada-US border itself, not an ethnic label for people who've crossed it.

The result of the debate was Delete. I count opinions as roughly 10 delete, 3 merge, and 3 keep/rename. I took a quick look at Shadow the Hedgehog (video game), and it looks like a least some of this material is already there, and the rest looks like trivia that's not worth the effort to merge. --RoySmith 13:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shadow the Hedgehog (video game features)

Pure how-to fork. This is a fork of Shadow the Hedgehog (video game), and is entirely overspecific how-to advice and weapon/items lists. This is definitely GameFAQs materal, not Wikipedia material. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Conflict>:@. have to retype>:@

I have taken the data about jumping, action button, players ect

I have left only useful information, only about the game's features, like vehciles, weapons and moves. Because it's about the games features, that is why this article has been made

some one should do an article on it:P

>x<ino 03:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - It looks like a good article to me. There are already articles about all the features he's described. So if we are describing moves from Shadow the Hedgehog, then surely we can describe how to use them? The guy seems to be speaking leet which is influencing votes unfairly, IMO. Zordrac 09:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Wikipedia is not GameFAQs (again), and it is not a place for how-to guides (explicitly). The merge/redirect is the only hope of preserving the content whatsoever, and I'm against that for the very reasons cited by the "keep" voters: our articles are not how-to, either, and merging a how-to section to an existing article is a way of confusing the new users, who will see that and think that it's a great idea to write articles with how to achieve cheat codes, etc. That's not encyclopedic and not Wikipedian. Geogre 10:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Like i said before, i have removed the moves, and surely left the section about weapons used & Vehicles >x<ino 14:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, recorded song by notable band, alternatively merge into an article on the whole album. Kappa 03:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge, per Janet13 who is merging per Peyna. Quentin Pierce 06:00, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect: Personally, I think this is far, far, far, far more famous as a slogan for Campbell's Soup than as any song by any band. Redirect to Campbells Soup or Campbell Soup or Campbell's Soup (wherever it is). Geogre 13:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge back into main article about album; salvage any information not already stated in the album article, place in new section; do the same for other articles that relate to album (song list has red and blue links) IanManka 14:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep in current form as a disambiguation page. After Dpbsmith's edit, it looks good as it is. IanManka 16:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to main article and redirect. More than half the bytes downloaded to display this page are Wiki furniture, the "article" itself runs to a whopping one sentence, and there is no demonstration of significance. A perfect merge candidate. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 17:00, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - band does not meet WP:MUSIC... one more album release or a national tour, and the band could qualify, but I still don't think an article on the lead singer would be necessary. -Satori ^(talk) 01:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 04:13, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Please, folks, offer a rationale for your votes and not acronymns. In this case, the musician is not famous/notable for anything except his work with the band; therefore, there should be no article on him until he, as a person, is a name mentioned as often as his band's. This would be far in the future, as the band is, at this point, not an appropriate topic, either. Geogre 13:10, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Geogre, is it acceptable if I just write, "per User:Geogre," as you oftentimes give ample explanation of why it should be deleted, and I heartily agree with you.
  • Previously unsigned comment by IanManka. 15:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment:  :-) Sure. I don't have a problem with a referential "vote," so long as the reference is clear, but I can understand the frustration some people feel with "nn nor" in a nomination or virtually bare nominations and "per nom" in the rationale. Although I vote "delete" most of the time (because most nominated articles deserve to be here), I do think of the new users who need to find out what's happening to their work.

[edit] Nick Tullos

Vanity page for a Louisiana Tech grad student who's started a business. Delete. Calton | Talk 01:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Benefit of doubt: Keep: The person has some history of contribution to the community via running competitions for students and explaining things on the DIY Network. I originally was going to call for deletion, but after searching I decided to give it the benefit of doubt and wikify the page and neutralize the point of view. What I wonder is that if his wife wrote the article, she supposedly has a Masters degree in technical writing and a Bachelors in English. Hu 01:44, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Not one of those things you mention, no matter how many wikilinks you add, comes close to satisfying WP:BIO. And how do you know about his wife? --Calton | Talk 03:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Nobody is claiming wiki links is the reason. As to the other question, I did a quick search and this was one of the first links to show up: [1] which surprised me given the lack of quality of writing, but who knows who wrote the article. I don't have much interest either way, other than idle curiosity. Hu 07:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Nobody is claiming wiki links is the reason. Nor did I say that: I'm referring to the use of wikilinks to, as the old saying goes, "put lipstick on a pig". --Calton | Talk 01:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

C'est la vie :) Hu 23:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • If enough people are willing to support the endeavor, I'll go find them and start putting them up for deletion. It just seemed like it would be a very uphill battle. Also, technologist, organizer, and presenter is a set of terms that could be used to describe tens of thousands of people (for example, many graduate students, professors, postdocs, etc) :) Janet13 00:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Hu, I share your apparent puzzlement. If Janet13 wants to start nominating gamecruft, I will be right in there voting delete. As far as I'm concerned the encyclopaedic content of most of these games is that they are a game played on $console, released in $year and selling $sales copies. Ditto most fiction articles. But I am well aware that this is against if not consensus then at least trend, which appears to be creeping trivialism. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 13:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment - I don't think that the presence of sock puppets should make any difference to your voting habits. After all, are you likely to vote keep or delete just because everyone else has? If he used sock puppets, then correct the problems. People who voted delete purely because someone who had voted keep had used sock puppets is childish. The page should be judged on its own merits.

Keep What kind of hypocrite would come on here and say someone has too much time on there hands for creating an article when there on here criticizing it? It's ludicrous to say that someone has a limited social life when 1)You don't know them and 2)Your ONLINE bashing someone. Take a look in the mirror before you criticize someone. Does it make you feel better about yourself for bashing a legitimate organization that has its own .com and domain name? This organization has built a strong reputation over the years and has been nothing but benficial to its community. If you think it makes you some kind of a hero to come on here and try and clean up what you deem crap, it doesn't. If you want to "clean up" the internet, theres plenty of pointless weblogs and pornography sites you can waste your time picking on. To quote Bob Dylan, "don’t criticize what you can’t understand."

Keep I suppose I should take time out of my busy social life to support a fine local establishment that is under the unfair criticism of some misinformed blokes that should do a little research before they start casting judgments. This local establishment has helped our community time and again. For instance, they hold an annual car show that is always entertaining and brings the community together. Who cares if they decide to poke fun at their mascot's bizarre talents and have a little humour to lighten things up? They're a great bunch of guys who are a local asset and if that's not "notable" enough to be part of this database, I don't know what is... maybe whoever reviews this stuff should concentrate on some of the more questionable entries and let this genuine cause alone?ChrisMyth--207.255.30.84 03:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC) Second vote from this IP address.

KeepI don't really know what to say to convince those that want this page deleted that it should not be deleted, BUT this organization is actively involved in the community and deserves to be recognized on Wikipedia. Steph —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.33.64 (talk • contribs)

Keep To know that such a great organization is under fire like this really shows me what this world is coming to. We allow pornography on the internet but the Mike Lorek Fan Club should be banned from all knowledge databases? This is a sad and shameful thing to see. I personally know that the Mike Lorek Fan Club takes care of those around them and tries to bring POSITIVE influences to the area with annual car shows in Sidman, PA, participating in annual events such as the Easter Seals Softball Tournament held in Roxbury, and assisting in the Le Dance Academy's Yearly performance in Windber, PA. They support the local Forest Hills football team by making an appearance at the community Pep Rally and going to the games. They support the local diners with their weekly "Wing Nite" night held all over the area. How could anyone wish for such an organization to be removed from recognition on Wikipedia? This organization is a breath of fresh air to the community, local- and internet-wise and anyone who wants to see this database removed obviously prefers gloom and downtroddenness over positive and upbeat knowledge and activities!

• Keep Why are you people always trying to take away the freedom of speech in this country and the freedom of assembly? The MLFC is a perfectly legitimate organization determined to place emphasis on our fundamental freedoms while not subjecting anyone to forms of degradation nor using any forms of elicit discrimination. The group is a highly respectable organization in the community of Johnstown, and it is determined to florish and help create a utopian society. Without groups like the MLFC, our society will reach a cataclysmic low in morale and become socially impotent. Would you like to cause the demise of society? If so, then vote yes to delete this. If no, then God bless. [3] Template:Eric Yax

Keep I don't understand what all the fuss is about? It sounds like this fanclub is a legimitate regional organization working towards a positive goal. I also believe that the process of deletion is being handeled innappropatly. The policy of vanity articles states:

The user who created the article is most often a new, or newer user. If there is nothing particularly offensive about the page, please be kind to the newbie. Suggestion: before beginning any deletion procedures on a vanity article, it is sometimes found that by simply politely informing the creator of the article that this appears to be a vanity article, and by pointing him or her to this page first, that the author him or her self will sometimes easily agree to the deletion him or herself, thus saving much waste of time and energy on the parts of all concerned parties.During any debates regarding vanity article that are listed at articles for deletion, disparaging comments may fly about the subject of the article/author (often presumed to be the same person) and the author's motives. These may border on personal attacks, and may discourage the article's creator from future contributions. Remember to please always assume good faith.

Usually, vanity articles are not recreated after being deleted. It is believed that the majority of vanity article creators forget about their vanity articles and do not revisit at all; this is evident in that they rarely defend the article during the deletion debate.

All I found were imflamatory comments directed at the members of this orginization and critizing their personal lives. I strongly believe that these comments cannot simply be taken "in good faith." This organization has a legitimate reason to be on the wikipedia. Don't judge them by your own standards. --128.118.51.117 16:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep As the Vice-President of the Mike Lorek Fan Club (MLFC), I am sickened that people want to take the MLFC out of Wikipedia. Obviously, we are in the end times. The people of this world that want to take away the good (MLFC) and relish in darkness are trying to get their way. The MLFC has been not only a spark of light in the Johnstown, PA community, but it has been a true inferno. We are like Bat Man, we help out when you least expect it. We don't need thank you's or cash donations---we just like to see people smile. If we were able to put a smile on one Jewish kid's face, then I know that we've done our job! We don't discriminate against any gender, race or creed----we are out to help the people of this great world. We have raised money to help people find homes, jobs, food and clothing by the money that we raised w/ the softball tournament that we were in over the summer of 2005. We are not a bunch of immature people that are out to have a good time. We are a UNIT that is out to make the world smile, one face at a time. ---Harrison vote —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.183.156.248 (talk • contribs)

LEAVE IT BE As president of this fan club I want to say that this great support for our club shows me and should show everyone else how much it truly means to us all. Even if we were to get deleted from this page it would be Wikipedia's great loss and not ours. We know we have true fan club that's a real tangable thing and not some made up waste of an entry like maybe the Kuchera Fan Club would be. If Wikipedia won't accept us maybe Webster's will.

[edit] List of on-screen clichés

This article has bugged me for a long time. A lot of it's so called clichés only appear in one TV show, movie etc. and are very badly worded. Whilst cleanup seems like an easier way to approach it, I only see the list continuing to be unruly, so I recommend its deletion.Barneyboo 04:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Rewrite. Although this walks a fine line between POV and original research, I don't think this article is unsaveable. But it needs considerable work. (PS. especially if Zoe's allegation of possibly copyvio is correct) 23skidoo 04:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, this floats all over the place. There's a version of it in the imdb forums, which would make this a copyvio. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment - What I meant by it being unruly, though, is that even with cleanup, it's fundamental flaws will still be there, even if it is a tenth of the size. It's just a very subjective list which I can't envisage in a cleaned up form. Barneyboo 17:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I absolutely agree. How many times must something be repeated, and by whom, to become a cliché? What is the essential verifiable difference between a cliché and a catchphrase?

• Delete. Reads like a chain e-mail; not encyclopedic Bellhalla 03:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Many different ways it fails the list criteria. For one, it is inherently POV to call something a "cliche." For another, "on screen" means, to me, movies, but, for the article authors, television. Third, there is no way to be comprehensive here, and there is no "notable cliches" that can be appealed to (i.e. with other poorly conceived lists, people will say, "Well, obviously, it's not supposed to be a List of all American directors, just the notable ones," but that can't be said, here). By the criteria for lists, this one fails. Geogre 10:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • To me, "on screen" means both movies and television. The only difference is a technical detail in the viewing apparatus. Television shows have much in common with movies, much more than with, for example, theatre plays or books. Is there a really important distinction between movies and television or do you just harken back to the pre-TV days? — JIP | Talk 20:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with Turnstep that it should be kept and cleaned up because of the large amount of edits (547) by different users. Many list movies which they come from, and some are so obvious they dont need verification - "Car chases will usually involve...Passing through a narrow alleyway stacked high with empty cardboard boxes...The pursuer will crash through something being carried across the street, usually a pane of glass or a fruit cart" or how about "There is always a big red button that is not supposed to be pressed." - countless movies Astrokey44 13:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Surely the place for those is in cliché? I'd have thought that examples of that kind were precisely what would differentiate the cliché article from a dicdef. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 13:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Theres so many that they would need their own article, maybe a few of the more obvious ones should be mentioned there with one of those 'See main article' links Astrokey44 14:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

For what value of need? As far as I can tell, WP is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. What is the encyclopaedic purpose of keeping more than are required to illustrate the point? And come to that, isn't cliché a dicdef anyway? - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 12:47, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Third, even though I suspect the guy might be notable, this article is so blatantly WP:VAIN that WP will be better off if we delete it and wait for a neutral person to create it (which, if he genuinely is notable, will happen).

• Keep--article has been modified to address concerns. (Full disclosure -- I am the original author of the article.) I see what you mean about the term 'internet phenomenon', and I agree that I mis-interpreted the term. I shall remove that term from the article. (I was interpreting the term as something that *was created* through the internet, whereas I'll agree with you that the definition ought to be *is spread* through the internet.) My apologies. However, I can verify the trend referred to in the article does legitametly exist, so I'll rewrite the article with a different classification to address the concerns raised here.

The reason is simple: wikipedia does not have peer review, and may rely only on already published third-party opinions. mikka (t) 20:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It seems like an inside joke from one web forum that somebody is trying to turn into an Internet phenomenon, including the use of Wikipedia itself as a vehicle to spread the meme, which is not a proper function of this site.

Sometimes you come across pages like this and all that "respect" you had for D-grade philosophy majors vanishes in an instant.

• Wikipedia is not for allowing any person to post whatever he wants without any validity from the outside world. There are no publications to support the fact that "truthism" even exists except in your mind, and if you'd like to gain notoriety, don't do it through Wikipedia. We report on notoriety, we don't create it. That's what an encyclopedia does. JHMM13 07:41, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• The article's main author states outright above that this is an "undocumented belief". That alone is enough to determine that this is unverifiable. The content and edit history of the article, where the tenets of this purported belief are altering in response to this very discussion, convinces me that this is a belief system that is being constructed on the fly by its author(s) directly in a Wikipedia article, that has gained zero traction outside of Wikipedia or indeed outside of its creator(s).

This is an underground movement involving hundreds of peoples. Truthism is on the rise. You can delete it now but in 3 months (Merlin willing) someone else will put it up. Maybe some followers will make a few hundred websites explaining our ideology and then we will see a stop to this persecution.

Get over yourself. Followers of some religions and sects throughout history have been persecuted by being driven from their homes, forced into ghettoes, burnt alive, set upon by wild animals, and massacred by the thousands and millions: your "persecution" is having a substandard encyclopedia article deleted. --Calton | Talk 01:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

So you admit you are persecuting us? Sounds like you are a SICKIST. Read some real truth and get back to me. Id start with Metzger's science papers and then some of Merlin's FACTS. Then maybe you will stop the liarist personal attacks.

The result of the debate was Delete. I count 11 delete/merge, 4 keeps. Based on the raw count, I could have been convinced to go either way. After all, three minor acting credits and a poorly selling book is three credits and one book more than I have to my name! Still, the article itself reads so much like a gossip column, I don't think it's worth keeping. One could make the argument that we aim to be a superset of every encyclopedia that has ever been published, and thus the IMDB article should mean it's good enough for us, but I think it would be a hard sell to convince me that IMDB is an encyclopedia. --RoySmith 14:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nancy Dow

I know I worked to make this page normal, but this isn't a very notable person. She has 3 very minor credits as an actress, one book that was hardly a best-seller, and is mostly known for her relationship problems with her daughter, Jennifer Aniston. I don't think she's quite notable and the Aniston Vs. Dow conflict can be briefly summarized on Aniston's page. There are a lot of other celebrity relatives who are not really well-known for any other reason than maybe a small media-reported conflict with their celebrity offspring, i.e. Aaron Carter's mother Jane Spaulding Carter, Sandra Dee's stage mother, etc.

[edit] There is a sucker born every minute

Unencyclopedic entry based almost entirely on speculation; the article basically says that the phrase exists, may or may not be attributable to three different people and was once paraphrased by a theatre group. Delete CLW 12:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Further to discussion below, merge to P. T. Barnum and redirect both this and There's a sucker born every minute (surely the more common form) to P. T. Barnum. CLW 07:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• comment - I am putting this up near the top, because people aren't reading the whole discussion. There are zero credible sources that claim Barnum ever uttered this phrase.
• I'm compelled to say merge and redirect to P. T. Barnum, because the phrase is ubiquitously associated with him, and any evidence disputing the belief that P.T. coined the phrase would best be documented there, as the other "possible coiners" appear to be non-notable red links. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 13:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to P.T. Barnum as mentioned above. PJM 14:09, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge: although a quote is not encylopedic, there seems to be some content on the page, but it belongs on the P.T. Barnum page. Once merged, I don't think a redirect is needed. Turnstep 14:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep based on the talk below. The phrase certainly is notable enough (especially the fact of its wide misattribution) to have its own page. Turnstep 21:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per above. This is not so much a catchphrase as it is a notable quote attributed to one person, so it should be there. Incidentally, I thought the quote was "There's a sucker..." not "There is a sucker..." 23skidoo 15:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok, then... move this page to "There's a sucker born every minute" (squashing the existing redirect), then merge it to P. T. Barnum, then fix the resulting double redirect at the non-contracted title, and we should all be happy? — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 15:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep: Disclaimer, I started this article.
  • When I started the article I did link to one of my sources, which, unfortunately, subsequent editors seem to have removed. So, the article is not really "based on speculation" as nominator asserts.
  • Can someone please explain what possible advantage a merge offers?
  • There are four articles that link to this article. Three of those article already link to PT Barnum. Readers who read those articles, and decide they want to know about Barnum can follow those links. Readers who want to know about the famous phrase, can follow that link.
  • The phrase is famous, whoever first coined it, famous enough it is part of our cultural short-hand. As such it merits an article of its own. The phrase nets over 50,000 google hits.
  • If this material, which I consider important, is merged into the PT Barnum article, someone can come along, and make the decision to delete it, without realizing that will damage the value of other articles. If it is left in article of its own, future nominators can check to see if other articles link to it. I will suggest to CLW that this should be part of their checklist if they make future {afd} nominations. -- Geo Swan 17:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Possibly the strongest argument as to why the phrase merits an article of its own, rather than a redirection to PT Barnum, is the frequency with which the phrase is used, without explanation, or reference to Barnum. Here are a handful of examples:

The only thing that would not survive the move is the link to Firesign Theatre, which I'd excise anyway as there is no real evidence that this particular paraphrase (of the many hundreds which surely exist) is especially notable. Strangely that was part of the orignal content of the page by User:Geo Swan, editor on the Firesign article and creator of one Firesign-related one.

    • The fact is, most people attribute the phrase to P. T. Barnum, correctly or otherwise, and it's listed in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations under his name. If there is credible evidence that the origin is disputed, this should be explained as neutrally as possible, at the P. T. Barnum page. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 20:42, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
      • If you pay a visit to the Bartlett page for this quote I think you will agree it makes clear Barnum never uttered the phrase. You won't find a single credible source that claims he did say it. -- Geo Swan 11:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
        • But, as I said, it is listed with his name—"ATTRIBUTION: Phineas Barnum (1810–1891), U.S. showman. Attributed," with a neutral disclaimer—we should follow suit. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 11:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Request: As a courtesy to me would someone explain why merging and redirecting makes sense? I am serious. I recognize some of your names as regular patrollers of {afd}. I think I am missing something. It seems to me that there are some shared assumptions that you regular patrollers of {afd} all share, and don't realize the rest of us aren't aware of. Is there a reason why one big article is better than several smaller related articles? If this is explained in some wiki policy document? -- Geo Swan 20:21, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Because stub-sorting is a pain in the buttocks, because quality of articles is more important than quantity, and because when a new user enters something in the search box or clicks the Random Page link and gets fed an article consisting of only a few sentences, it reflects poorly upon the encyclopedia as a whole. Or, well, that's my opinion anyway. Hey, I just discovered I'm a mergist.— FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 20:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

LOL! Welcome to the club. May I just take a moment to clarify: when I said that the fact of Geo Swan's having created another Firesign-related article was an unworthy thought, I meant exactly that. His edit history makes it abundantly clear that he is not a single-issue wonder, but an editor with a wide history of interesting added content. I know I am sometimes prone to irony - Geo Swan, please accept my apologies if the comment was misread in any way, I was actually having a go at myself, not at you. Honest. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 21:17, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• • • Freak of Nature, thanks for offering your explanation. I don't know what "sub-sorting" is. But, it seems to me that your concern about new users being turned off, when they click on the Random Page link, merely reveals a flaw in the implementation of the Random Page code -- one that could be fixed with a sensibility filter that didn't show pages that fell below a certain threshold of edits or sentences. WRT new users please consider the comment I posted to Dalbury's vote below, where I suggest thought experiment. If you are going to base your vote based on new users I think you have to consider the frustration and inconvenience a merge poses for readers who go to the page because they want to know the background of the phrase, and, instead, are taken to a completely different page, a biography, or someone they may never heard of. -- Geo Swan 11:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Stub-sorting. I didn't notice the typo. Sorry. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 13:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• The fact that the phrase is often used without attribution is pretty irrelevant. "To be or not to be" is often used without attribution, but it still belongs to Shakespeare. That said, if there's serious dispute about the source of the phrase, Keep but move to There's a sucker... —Wahoofive (talk)
• Keep. The merge votes, I think, are a little rediculous in this case. Sure, the fact that PT Barnum didn't actually say it would stay on his page, but the other people would be deleted as irrelevent on that page. So it needs to stay here. Jacqui^★ 00:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speaking for myself, I vote merge because the phrase is popularly attributed to Barnum, and the history of the phrase is inextricably linked to him (an early example of a snow-job, I guess). - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 10:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as per Jacqui. Seano1 01:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to the Barnum article. Sheesh, do we need an article for every quote that may have been misattributed? -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • That is a strawman argument. No one is suggesting that every misattributed quote merits an article of its own. The phrase merits an article because it is widely used, and has long ago entered our cultural shorthand. Most instances of its use don't explain its meaning, or attribute it to Barnum. The wikipedia should have an article devoted to the phrase to help out those unfamiliar with the phrase, or those for whom English is not their native language. Merging to Barnum is a disservice to those who want to use the wikipedia to find out the phrase's background. Here is a thought experiment. Go to one of the articles that links to this one. Pretend you have never heard of Barnum. Now pretend you clicked on the link, because you were interested in the phrase, and you got taken not to an article about the phrase, but to some guy from the 19th Century named Barnum. Let me suggest that, if you were a new user, your first reaction would be, "This wikipedia is not as useful as people claim. WTF would it take me to a biography of this 19th Century guy, when I told it I wanted to know more about that phrase?" -- Geo Swan 11:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Barnum. Do we really need articles for every famous quote? Sorry for my language now, I am just making a point: The quote "Fuck you" is a much more used quote than the Barnum quote, but it isn't an article of itself, but redirected and a part of the article "Fuck". By the way, the Barnum quote should be listed as "trivia" in the Barnum article since it is uncertain whether he said it. My Regards, Dna-Dennis ^{talk - contribs} 12:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• comment - I want to address those of you who identify yourselves as "mergists". I understand that some of you feel an aesthetic affinity to merging. I get aesthetic affinities too. I get aesthetic affinities for doing things certain ways, or making things look in certain ways. But, what I have to acknowledge, is that those aesthetic affinities sometimes screw me up.

It seems like most people who want to merge this article into PT Barnum are prompted by an aesthetic sense. The merge feels right to them, because all merge suggestions feel right to them.

Some instances of making things look right really are incredibly useful and important. An instance of that here on the wikipedia would be we the see also and external references sections. There is a project to go through all the articles and regularize their usage. Making all our external references appear as regular as possible, makes it easy to find the particular parts we want. With instances like this, once we get used to putting things in a regular format, we internalize that format, so we can recognize it at a glance, and can recognize when it is not in that format, at a glance. And our aesthetic sense kicks in, so we feel dissatisfied when it just doesn't look right.

But that aesthetic sense can really betray us too, lead us into bad decisions. There are certain kinds of tasks where I am tempted to use my favourite tools. I want to write a script, make use of some regular expressions, to automatically select some stuff, and make transformations. I think I am good at it. I estimate it won't take very long, and I will feel an aesthetic satisfaction doing the task that I wouldn't feel if I made each change by hand. But it turns out I made some typos, or didn't fully appreciate the special cases, and I have to write several drafts. I find myself reluctant to admit when my aesthetic sense betrayed me -- when brute force manual editing would have saved time and prevented errors.

We have to be disciplined about how we allow ourselves to exercise our aesthetic sense. We have to recognize that even the best aesthetic rule, which

Merging can break things. It will break things in this particular instance. Three of the four articles that link to this article already link to PT Barnum, right in the same sentence or a neighbouring sentence. So, redirecting this phrase to PT Barnum breaks those articles, by putting a second, deceptive link to PT Barnum near the real link to PT Barnum.

That sucks. Its broken. Let me suggest this merge is a misapplication of your aesthetic sense. -- Geo Swan 12:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• • Geo, here is how I see it: people will go to the Barnum article and expect to find reference to this comment, due to widespread popular (mis?)attribution. Note that the references are not actually conclusive on that score. Therefore, the Barnum article has to mention this phrase, even if only to say he never said it. It would make sense to cover it twice if (a) there was a substantial likelihood of people entering this phrase as a search term (which I don't think there is, and anyway the search would find the Barnum article), or (b) there was substantial additional encyclopaedic content, which I don't see: beyond Barnum-specific discussion (which again ionvolves redundancy as it has to establish the background of the quarrel, which is properly done in the Barnum article), there isn't much to say. It's an aphorism, people use it. This is not a dictionary of aphorisms. If there is a list of aphorisms it would probably be listed (as it is in my dictionary of aphorisms) as widely but probably erroneously attributed to Barnum. You've seen what Bartleby has to say: [8]. So, I support a merge for maintainability, avoiding duplication, and ease of use because I can't see what other encyclopaedic relevance it might have, this not being a dictionary of aphorisms and all. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 12:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The phrase has independent significance above and beyond the Barnum article and discussion about its origins deserve a separate entry. Jtmichcock 05:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep/Rename. I was in the process of closing out this AfD when I came to the conclusion that I so strongly disagreed with what appeared to be the majority opinion that I'd rather express my own opinion and let somebody else close it out. Given how popular the phrase is, and how it appears that Barnum did not actually say it (which I've heard before), I think it deserves to stand on its own. The Barnum article should reference this one. Rename to There's a sucker born every minute (as mentioned above, the most common form), and redirect this name (as a common mis-spelling) to that one. --RoySmith 14:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Politics of South Park

Article is unencyclopedic and completely subjective.

• Delete per WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. PJM 15:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• In July 2005, it was discussed on Talk:Politics of South Park that the article comprised solely editors' own analyses of the political stance of South Park, presented as though they were Wikipedia's own opinions, and was thus both biased and original research (an issue that had been raised a month before on Talk:South Park Republican). Sources and attribution were requested then. The article has sported neutrality and accuracy dispute tags in the months since, and during that time not a single source has been cited in the article to indicate that this is not original research, and no attempt has been made to attribute the opinions on the politics of the show to the people who actually hold them, or even indicate that anyone other than the editors themselves who are writing the article hold those opinions. (On Talk:South Park Republican, an editor refused outright to cite xyr source.) The evidence of the edit history and talk pages is thus that there is no scope for this article to be anything other than non-neutral and original research. We are here to create an encyclopaedia that condenses and summarizes existing knowledge that has already been peer reviewed and published, not to collaborate on creating from scratch a political treatise about a television show. Delete. Uncle G 17:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. So what is being argued here? Are you saying that this subject is inherently NPOV/OR, or that what is posted now is such? I do not see why a perfectly satisfactory article can not be created discussing the politics of South Park. This is a program many people watch, and more have heard of. It has pushed the envelope, and is notable. Now, if you don't like the current content, why not edit it? Sandpiper 19:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The only satisfactory edit as things stand is to delete the article. You assert that a "perfectly satisfactory article can be created". This implies that you know of sources on this subject that can be used to create such an article. So cite them. Merely claiming that this isn't original research and can be rendered neutral, without actually demonstrating that it isn't original research and providing sources to work from, won't cut the mustard any longer. Sources have been requested for five months, and not only have editors not provided them, they have even refused to provide them, one stating that xyr contributions are the "product of some research I had been doing". It is now crunch time. The currently unsubstantiated assertion that this isn't original research now has to be backed up with something concrete within the next few days. Uncle G 23:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't need to cite a source to state an opinion here, nor does anyone else. It is my view which counts here. The idea is to seek consensus not win by playing a trump card? Sandpiper 16:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
      • The idea is, as I have already said, to create an encyclopaedia that condenses and summarizes existing knowledge that has already been peer reviewed and published, not to collaborate on creating from scratch a political treatise about a television show. Uncle G 18:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Possibly, but did it used to be to create an encyclopedia which people could rely upon to tell them accurately what they wanted to know about anything? Sandpiper 20:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
          • No. Things that humans want to know about is not the same as things that humans do know about. Wanting to know about things that people don't know about is, after all, why people do original research. Uncle G 16:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
            • Oh no (really no). Wiki notion of OR is not at all the same as the real world meaning of OR. It is much more restrictive. Things rejected on wiki would be laughed out of the examination, if submitted for a degree where OR was expected. Sandpiper 18:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOR. Article doesn't cite a single source; thus it more than likely the research of the editors involved. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 20:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • WP:NOR actually says:'Original research that creates primary sources is not allowed. However, research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and/or secondary sources is strongly encouraged. In fact, all articles on Wikipedia should be based on information collected from primary and secondary sources. This is not "original research," it is "source-based research," and it is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia.' So, yes, wiki policy specifically expects editors to do research, specifically to collect and collate information from primary sources (i.e. the programs themselves). It is quite plain the primary source is the programs themselves and this is implicit throughout the article. Sandpiper 16:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Please read the whole policy, in particular the part that says "it is essential that any [...] any generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of information or data has been published by a third-party reputable publication (that is, not self-published) that is available to readers either from a website (other than Wikipedia) or through a public library". Collaboratively creating an analysis of the political stance of a television show, where no such analysis exists outside of Wikipedia is original research, plainly and simply. You have the opportunity to provide evidence that such an analysis exists, which is the only way that you can demonstrate that this is not original research. Merely arguing as you are that that we should include original research in our encyclopaedia isn't persuasive. Uncle G
      • I did read the whole policy. then I read it again, and all the talk page, and commented. My conclusion was that the policy had been somewhat subverted into a tool for closing arguments. Sandpiper 20:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
        • The fact that one of the fundamental policies that tells us what we are actually doing, and (furthermore) not doing, here is a means for closing arguments is not a matter of subversion. Uncle G 16:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
          • Yes it is. It misses the pretty obvious point that while references might make an article better, an article with no references is better than no article at all. This is also part of wiki policy. (or it was) The proper criteria for inclusion is accuracy, not whether it has references.Sandpiper 18:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or perhaps transwiki to wiktionary as a definition of original research :oP Jacqui^★ 00:45, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:NOR. The South Park Republican article covers everything this article dose without original research. Seano1 01:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I contributed somewhat to this article and looking back, it's completely unencyclopedic and inherently NPOV. daleki 01:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This sort of thing seems inherently POV and OR. *Dan T.* 04:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep it is interesting, it is not POV as it shows any political view from either side, and it is not original research because of the number of different editors. The source is the show itself, which is verifyable because of its worldwide popularity Astrokey44 14:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but I don't understand how the number of editors changes the fact that this clearly is OR. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 14:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Presumably because a number of people have come to the same view that in fact it is not. Sandpiper 16:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Just because a lot of people say it isn't OR doesn't make it so. Show me the references! --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 16:54, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Wiki supposedly works by consensus, not evidence or precedent Sandpiper 20:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I don't see OR here. The facts are easily verifiable by watching relevant episodes.  Grue  17:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The article doesn't contain facts, it contains conclusions. For example, it states that episode 502 is "Against censorship on TV". This is a conclusion, drawn from watching the television show and inferring a political stance indirectly from the plot and dialogue, not a verifiable fact about the television show. It is an opinion about the television show. It isn't attributed to the person who holds that opinion, and no source for it is provided. There's no evidence that it is anything but a conclusion drawn directly by the Wikipedia editor who first published here. The whole article is like this. Uncle G 18:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
    • I know you have a point Uncle G, but I do not support an absolutist reliance on references. It becomes an instrument for censorship rather than accuracy. There is a distinction between drawing novel conclusions and stating common conclusions which would be drawn by the average(informed) man had he been (in this case) watching the programs. The latter is not OR by any normal definition, and is not so under the explicit exclusion clause in wiki policy. Nor does the absence of a reference prove something is OR. The logical premis can only be that the presence of a reference proves that it is not.Sandpiper 20:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
      • We have no idea what the "common conclusions" are "which would be drawn by the average(informed) man had he been (in this case) watching the programs". There are no sources to tell us. You cannot prove that what is in the article are those conclusions, or even that most people won't in fact come to entirely different conclusions.

        If you don't support relying upon references, then you won't be comfortable here at Wikipedia. That is what we do here. I can highly recommend adopting the stance of always insisting upon there being references and good sourcing, though. The articles that you create won't ever come to AFD in the first place (I speak from experience.), and you can even rescue the odd article from deletion here, there, and yon, too. ☺ Uncle G 16:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

        • No, you miss the point. Every editor of wiki is one of those average informed men. If you are arguing that editors are unable to make choices about what is common sense to include, then there will be no encyclopedia at all. You make my point for me too, that references are not being used as a tool for improving quality, but for settling arguments about deletion and non-deletion. Wiki has been criticized as lacking an editorial POV. The real problem is not having a POV but making it clear where and how this applies. Wiki insistence on removing POV is its main tool for controlling editors. This may be necessary, (or not) but it also reduces the quality of certain kinds of article. Any kind of article which relies upon an opinion, in fact (politics, biography, economics, literature...). It is also against the spirit of wiki, that anyone can contribute. This may become wikis greatest problem if it continues. Sandpiper 18:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

WP:NPOV clearly states that all views of a subject should be fairly represented. This article inherently cannot do that because it tells readers how these episodes should be interpreted. Accurate or not, it violates Wiki policy. PJM 19:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mylo Carbia

This article was originally much larger and based (unknowingly) on faulty if not downright fictional source material. Once the faulty material was removed, there wasn't much left.

• Delete - I wrote this article based on the subjects good faith, however after furthur investigations conducted (Especially those by Richfife, whose work has been incredible), I have reached the conclusion that Mylo fabricated an elaborate hoax and filtered her fictional bio to other meidas.

  • Can I ask why you think plagiarised? I'm sorry about the 'please format' but I'm new here (don't bite the newbies...?). Azushi
    • Because a google search revealed similar phrases to many of the sentences in the article, but no exact matches; thus suggesting that someone used them as sources and changed a few words around. It also looks very suspiciously like a term paper. Peyna 23:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Of course there were similar phrases! The topic is utterliy central to the philosophy of mind. I'm sure there a thousand articles called the same thing using very similar phrases because that's the philosophical terminology. I don't recognise your "Google approach" to identifying plagiarism; I could write you another "term paper" on how flawed a strategy that is. If it needs re-writing, then re-write it as you see fit (preferable to deletion, as stated by Wiki guidelines). I was simply plugging a gaping hole, as I saw it, namely that the problem of interaction had no entry on Wikipedia. I found this incredible - and this is certainly better than nothing.

[edit] Microcosm Publishing

This article describes a publisher called Microcosm Publishing in Portland, OR. All the references I find (e.g. on Amazon) are to a company of the same name based in the UK. The article says this is an independent publisher and distributor of zine, books, pamphlets, 1" buttons etc. Some Google hits to support this, but that does not make them notable. The pass the first test for vanity, in that the first words in the article were a weblink to their site (removed). I can't see a lot to suggest that the zines themselves are notable. The article concludes with an invitation ot their 10th Anniversary Party (I will contact them, obviously they will be happy send me complimentary first classs tickets from London Heathrow so I can validate this). Overall, this looks like vanity, borderline spam. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 15:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

don't delete

being a portuguese person, i actually find it quite factual the information displayed on this article, it is all true, these chungas, dreads, mitras, are the most pathetic thing on the face of this earth, their style, the way they talk, lowest class people, its true it might be offencive towards them, but in general anyone in portugal who is not one of these can admit that they are pathetic [edit]

I Agree...

Being a current resident of Portugal, I must say that I completely agree with the above message. The chungas that crawl the streets over here are pathetic creatures, and if any of them get angry and hurt by this article my day will be just a little bit brighter. But anyway, there is a very small chance of that happening since chungas are not educated and therefore cannot speak english, and they definitely do not have acess to the internet as not even their lives are worth as much as a decent computer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.22.152 (talk • contribs) and that includes both of the above paragraphs, despite the attempt to make it look like two comments.

Hello, I do not believe this article should be deleted. This article is genuine. The term "basofe" is analogous to the term "chav" that became slang in the U.K. Just like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav is a valid article this one should be too. At most, this article should be tagged incomplete because there is clearly more formal definitions missing —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.172.0.142 (talk • contribs)

This was nominated in 2004 and kept (not without controversy). My Google skills are not the best in the world, but I've just spent ten minutes trying to find any references to this game outside WP and minor blogs, without success.

I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise, but if this is a meme, it seems to me to be a minor one, and largely founded on this article. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 19:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - deeply irritating and non-notable pseudo-meme Bwithh 20:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - have you had a look at the articles discussion page which gives numerious references including links to some sites which existed a couple of years before the article was created. as for something to google; [9] --MilkMiruku 00:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I think I've heard of this. Andre (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I've definately heard of this... long before I saw the google page. And I'm not big on the whole internet-meme scene, either. It's very popular where I am. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.189.12.4 (talk • contribs) First edit
• Comment: A game that is not a game played by people who can only play it when they are not playing it? - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 11:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I really like this game195.188.173.96 11:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I found out about the game ages before I heard about this page, its only after a couple of years of anguish (from a large number of my friends), that someone actually bothered to Google The Game and found this page and told us about it on our website. Hence the page may have created the cult (I don't know how old it is), though The Game is now self-perputuating and the will continue to exist regardless. Though perhaps it should be taken down purely to save others from it's unforgiving grasp. 195.173.15.12 13:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Everyone keeps talking about how they can't stop playing this annoying game. Me, this Wikipedia article was the first place I heard about it. Is it an Anglosaxon-only thing? — JIP | Talk 13:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. 684 students play it at Cambridge University alone, and that's according to facebook society figures when only about half the university are members of facebook. I certainly heard of it a long time before I saw this article 131.111.8.96 13:38, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I heard about this game in real life. The argument that it only exists on Wikipedia is bogus. Birkett 14:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I never said it only existed on Wikipedia. I said I had never heard of it before. Who am I, the supreme authority of deciding what exists and what doesn't? There's an unbelieveable number of places in Finland that you haven't heard about, for example. Does this automatically mean they don't exist? — JIP | Talk 19:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There seems to be quite a lot of people who plays this game in our university in France and almost nobody knows this Wikipedia entry. --82.235.37.168 16:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep.Even though we are all losing the game in talking about it. If it must be deleted can it go to uncyclopedia or is it too sensible for them. I feel it belongs somewhere in the wiki family.Signed in 18:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC) User's third edit
• Keep even though I'm irritated about having lost. Again. At least a dozen people I know offhand in the midwest United States know of this game independent of my knowledge of it; this is of course ancedotal, but the game is viral in nature. --Stephen Deken 18:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I lost it a few minutes ago, so being here didn't make me lose it. The Game exists everywhere, including Oregon. No way this isn't notable. Ingoolemo ^talk 18:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• STRONG Keep. It seems that this is in a lot of AIM profiles, facebook, and otherwise. To the author of the deletion notice, did you ever consider that some od the details of "The Games" origins were a joke? I don;t see any valid reason for deletion --Brianopp 18:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC) (User's first edit)
• Keep. I love the game, even even though it is a source of eternal torment. Anyway ths site is supposed to be a comprehensive online encyclopedia and if you delete a widely known phenomenon as this is then the site will not be comprehensive. Oh and it is heard of outside of WP, for example; http://www.losethegame.com 152.78.254.128 19:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.248.8 (talk • contribs)
• Is this up for deletion again? Yawn. Keep, as long as berks can stop sabotaging it with crappy rules about half-hour grace periods and competitive strategies. It's a laugh; enjoy it. Kinitawowi 22:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Are you confirming that it is a joke article? - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 23:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• No, I'm stating that it has been through AfD before, it was deemed notable enough to keep then, and but for the actions of a few idiots it remains so. I base my judgements in AfD on deciding whether a topic is worth keeping, not necessarily the content. The Game is real. I'm not an avid player, but I'm smart enough to know that memes (which The Game is, essentially) propogate very rapidly through blogs. Of course it's going to turn up in lots of non-notable blogs; that doesn't make it non-notable of itself. Kinitawowi 23:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep

This game is utterly brilliant, keeping us college and uni students occupied, frustrated and in despair for many an hour. Admittedly, the whole rule and grace period issue is a bit weak, bu tthe game is absolutely brilliant and deserves recognition. KEEP!!! (lost the game) 141.163.84.17 02:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep

I view it as being as pertinant as any other game I've played, and I've been playing it for a year and a half. Bkkbrad 03:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it's notable and widespread. And much like Color or Country, this article can be informative in an unusual way: if you knew of the game, you now know that it's not just something stupid your friends came up with. It's something stupid that startling numbers of people know about. rspeer 06:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It appears inherent that you wouldn't find any mention of it in Google, if the whole point of it is forgetting about it. Jude_tlk 07:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I personally find the entire idea of a game whose entire idea is to forget about it utterly stupid. I won't waste my time trying to "play" this "game". Nevertheless, I acknowledge it's a real meme, and am not further advocating the deletion of this article. — JIP | Talk 11:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 12:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The Game will continue and spread regardless of whether this page exists. I played it for years before I found any reference to it on the internet and as far as I'm concerned it definitely deserves some recognition. 222.153.81.183 00:06, 30 November 2005 (UTC) (First edit)

  • Oh dear. Please enlighten me: who are the socks? What evidence do you have? "Sock puppet" does not mean "new user", and to equate them is hostile toward newbies. rspeer 16:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard of it before. The Wikipedia article is useful for explaining to people who haven't heard of it before. --JD 04:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable. Heard of it before reading this article. Hagbard Celine 12:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pasen series

This page appears to be a hoax, there is no such thing. linas 19:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Nonsensical, doesn't exist. There are no english-language google results [10] for "pasen series". (Those are real words in Spanish, which get many hits, but have nothing to do with the article.) -- SCZenz 19:37, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
