• Weak Keep the phrase is mentioned on Eric Voegelin as well as several web sites chowells 19:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Uh, that would be an alleged third meaning. I'm mostly targetting the alleged first meaning, as I've found no sources for a connection to Roman Catholicism. Anyway, if the result will be keep, I'll take your comment as volunteering for cleanup. --Pjacobi 19:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't understand. You might want to make your reasons for nominating it clear in the AfD in the first place. I will certainly not be cleaning up the article if its kept. chowells 19:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Per category sorting and intro sentence, the article states that it is a concept in Roman Catholicism. My attempts to verify this failed (see above). The article further states, it is a concept in conservative propaganda. I doubt this, but I can't judge it, as this is a very broad topic. Anyway, if that would be the only meaning, the article is grossly inadequate. Now you additional state, it is a concept in Voegelin's gnosticism. Uuhh. But that certainly isn't in the article and therefore wouldn't be a reason to keep. --Pjacobi 20:00, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. My impression was that you were suggesting that the entire phrase was a hoax or a neologism. My vote remains the same however. chowells 20:10, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I have added a number of external links to the article, please consult them. They document Conservative use, evangelical Christian use, Discordian use, and Chaoist use. They also describe the phrase peing popularized in the 1950s by William F. Buckley after its use by Voegelin, and in that conncetion discuss (rtaher vaguely) a Catholic use. They also document its use in describing Gnostic views, but apparently only by non-Gnostics. This may derive from the Roman Catholic use. The use in formal Catholic theology is the only one not well documentd from these links. DES ^(talk) 20:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

If we agree on removing the connection to Roman Catholicism, I'd agree to speedily keep. In the long list of sources giben now, only some ".'.Frater Equilibrist.'." http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/chaos/texts/ite.html claims the connection to catholicism. Now looking through the sources, it's seems to be mostly a Robert Anton Wilson concept. --Pjacobi 20:54, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable vanity article. The claims to notability seem to be that he has a blog and has written a book. Looking at the blog, only one user comment has ever been left (and this was deleted by the blog owner) which suggests that this is not a particularly notable blog.

• Delete // Fred-Chess 22:37, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as this appears to be primarily a promotion of the blog and likely qualifies as a vanity article. THIS IS NOT TO SAY that blogs and bloggers are necessarily not notable and I think we should be careful not to instinctively react to blog-related entries. As blogs and blogging grow, there will probably emerge a growing number of bloggers of genunie notability--the authors of the Daily Kos, Wonkette, etc. come to mind. I think that the issue has to do with how well-read the blog is, how independently notable the blogger is, and whether or not the blog is cited widely by other blogs or traditional media. I do not know if Wikipedia has a blog policy, but I will be sure to check right after this. el_amante 20:52, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

    • Stations don't put anything about their history on their website more often than not; see WKNR-AM for a station that does nothing to honor its (significant) history on its website. And if we're in the business of rejecting all AfDs for radio stations simply because they're radio stations, then eventually this station will get an article. Barring a complete hoax (which this, admittedly, could be), I just hate to lose this writeup because it really could go into an article that hasn't been written yet.

  With all due respect, Sir, I would very much love to have your story here. Unfortunately there is a policy wikipedia:No original research, exsisting for serious reasons. Please provide sources of independent verification of the events you are describing. A good idea could be to ask the KISW webmaster to post your blog story at their site. I think my colleagues agree that this would count for an independent verification. Also, if you could contribute to KISW (KISW-FM) article, your tale would have a much better standing. Thank you, mikka (t) 21:37, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

  With all due respect, Mikka, someone who was the duck would be a primary source, a fine source for material. Doing their own writing would need vanity checks but isn't original research. The article "makes no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, or evaluative claims". The intent of WP:NOR is to remove Wikipedia from publishing crank physics theories and not to dissuade people from writing about personal experience.

[edit] List of Famous Nairs

Lot of unverified entries , Promotes casteism. (nominated by 59.93.35.216)

• Can the nominator please sign the nomination and explain the problem a bit more ? Would you also suggest deleting entries like List of famous Jews, or are you only against caste ? Tintin 11:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Agree with Tintin. Please be more specific. User:Nichalp/sg 12:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: weren't castes abolished? If so, the list shouldn't the list only have historical names? -- Kjkolb 14:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

They are not abolished. They are very much around. Even the government provides reservation of jobs and seats in educational institutions for some castes, in a way similar to the affirmative action in USA. Tintin

Comment: When the Constitution of India was adopted on January 26, 1950, it abolished the caste system and guaranteed equality to all citizens." So, I guess they are giving the jobs to those who would have been in the lower castes. Since castes are outlawed, only tradition is keeping it intact. Wikipedia should not help in its preservation. Only historical names should be added, if it isn't deleted altogether. It's not the same as different ethnicities because ethnicities are not defined in terms of superiority, like castes are. It's having a list of people who are considered better/more clean than these other people. -- Kjkolb 09:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

This leads me to ask a question, please excuse my ignorance. If castes are outlawed, how do we know what castes these folks "would have been in"? I'm worried that this list, although notable, might be unverifiable. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 15:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments

• I'll try to address the comments of kjkolb and Kzollman here :

To kjkolb : I doubt about the validity of your statement about the Indian constitution (Nichalp should be able to confirm it one way or the other). What the constitution says will make little difference in what people do in this aspect anyway. It is also nonsensical to outlaw caste and then allow reservation on its basis. What the constitution has outlawed is probably only discrimination based on caste.

As wikipedia editors, we should be bothered only about recording things as they stand. It is not for us either to pass judgement, or do anything either to preserve or eradicate it.

Castes are a fact, whether we like it or not. In my personal experience, its influence has increased considerably in the last 15 years or so, when compared to the time when I was a schoolboy. Every political party tries to appease certain castes and draws heavily on caste based votes. A significant percentage of the parties are formed on the basis of caste alone.

To Kzollman : Nairs use some distinct surnames like Nair (obviously), Menon, Pillai, Panicker etc. So if someone or any of his relatives has that surname, it can be considered a valid entry. Some of the doubtful entries were discussed in the talk page; there are 10-20 entries which I am still not sure about. The list also contains too many unimportant people who need to be removed.

PS : I am not a Nair, btw ;-) Tintin 17:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Tintin, thank you. My concerns are aleviated, and I'll leave my keep vote above. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 17:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I understand and agree somewhat. I know that Wikipedia isn't for changing society, but I'm concerned that by continuing to recognize castes as valid, it is not being neutral, either. In its very small way, it is helping to perpetuate castes. I think the article describing the Indian caste system is sufficient and neutral. It could say that it is being followed increasingly in recent years, but a list of people in a caste seems like celebrating and taking pride in it. It would be totally different if this had to do with ethnicity, but castes make value judgments on the people within them, some of them very bad, some good, but all undeserved. I'm sure there are a few who take pride in being called an "untouchable", but most people probably don't want to be known for it. It is something to be ashamed of and according to the Dalit article, some of them hide their caste/non-caste. It's about as attractive as being on a list of "mud people", a term some use to describe non-whites. -- Kjkolb 05:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll resist the temptation to give my personal views on the subject and just say that I generally agree with you, but consider this as just a list of trivia. I wouldn't take my time start one of this kind but now that it is here I have no problem with it staying on. It is not interesting, but hopefully someone will find it useful. Tintin 14:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Will Prakash Karat tolerate him being listed in this casteist page ? Many people cannot tolerate their names being identified with caste? My name is in this list and I don't like it. Please take permission of the concerned persons before adding to this list

• If your name is really on the list, the first thing I have to say is that we are very glad to have you with us !

I disagree with your comments that the editors should not add things that the subject of the article may not agree with. If the subject is notable and the facts are verifiable it belongs here. Karat is certainly famous. It can be verified that his parents are Nairs. Whether he likes it or not, he is/was a Nair and is atleast a 'former Nair'.

What certainly can be done to make it accurate is to add a comment about this 'former' aspect in the description, or move Karat and such others to a seperate section with an appropriate title. I'll add a comment about this in the talk page of the article for the regular editors [17].

If you think this page should be deleted, you are welcome to vote.

While we are it, if you are a regular wiki reader, I wonder whether you would like to contribute to the Kerala sections. There are hardly any articles that come up to scratch and we are way behind Tamil in terms of the quality of the articles. Tintin 15:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• pleasantblue is about to be deleted. -- Captain Disdain 00:18, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

appeal: pleasantblue doesnt seek followers: it's supposed to be silly by definition. it hardly seems any one else will have a definition for 'pleasantblue', so its not possible for it to confuse anyone by leaving silly information about it. pleasantblue is built on 'koans' which are paradoxical and silly. pleasantblue is not kipple, and has nothing to do with software. it IS however, just silly. [Oct 14 2005 8:31am PST MG]

• It is certainly true that the article is perfectly harmless. However, it is also perfectly useless. Wikipedia is not a place for perfectly useless articles about unencyclopedic topics in general, and silly ones in particular. -- ���Captain Disdain 15:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • fair enough: i'm truly not attempting to take up space on the server with uselessness, but am trying to define a concept, that is an active process, albeit silly. i do understand why it's seen as useless, and have no intent to move beyond the scope of what wikipedia is, but feel a few 'wild cards' in the mix is fairly representative of the dynamic nature of the internet and human culture in itself. (part of what pleasantblue is about). thank you for your input. i remain pleadful, for 'non-deletion consideration'. [Oct 14 2005 - MG]
    • Sure. I don't disagree at all; it certainly is fairly representative of the dynamic nature of the internet and human culture in itself. But Wikipedia is not really here to showcase either. It's a project to build an encyclopedia. I have nothing but respect for projects like yours, silly or not, but Wikipedia isn't designed to include things like this. It just isn't a place for experiments, soapboxes, artistic statements and whatnot. (That said, a new and separate Wiki project could certainly be created to accommodate things like pleasantblue -- might be something for you to look into, if you're interested.) -- �Captain Disdain 20:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• The problem is that if we accept one article like this, we can't really say "no" to anyone else who want to use wikipedia as a medium of expression rather than an compendium of existing knowledge. Kappa 23:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Words are concepts and are defined by whom? And what of 'nonce words' such as 'sniglet'. These truly warrant entries in an encyclopedia and are 'existing knowledge', as does pleasantblue.

[edit] It is a matter of values

The page for pleasantblue seems in outward appearance to be divergent to the conventions of Wikipedia. And yet if such as pleasantblue did not make appearance in Wikipedia then the world of "acceptable human knowledge" would be impoverished to the extent of accepting only the commonly acceptable. In my own view, this would be a tragic mistake. Inspiration comes in many forms from the most humble to the most impressive. Most always, it is silly. Nonetheless, the creative process should never ever be disregarded or otherwise ignored without timely consideration of what may be involved. I also think that a Wiki project closely associated with Wikipedia to accommodate such inventive thinking as pleasantblue would be appropriate. stardance 21:15, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

• "In outward appearance," my ass. And it's not being discarded or ignored. It's not like it's being wiped from the sphere of human knowledge, just because it doesn't merit an article on Wikipedia. -- Captain Disdain 22:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• Yes, it was a hastily thought out comment. Thankyou for confirming my own afterthoughts. I see that MG has conceded however I am still interested in a Wiki project associated with Wikipedia that covers the huge area of human endeavour that is not classed as being within existing knowledge, and yet is essential or otherwise useful to the progress of human civilisation. I have no idea how to select such items. An interesting question in itself. My respects. stardance 16:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

conceded: your argument is clear and founded. i especially understand the concern with 'setting precedence', it shan't be pressed further. however, the "compendium of existing knowledge" - sits a little rough. there are many things i wouldn't have known existed, until i was made aware of them, often by looking them up in an encyclopedia, after having 'heard of them'.

a taste of revolutionary art shaking up dominant wiki paradigm gets my vote. knowledge can become sterile and meaningless without reference to the unknowable. a touch of randomness and aesthetic 'nonsense' is in the tradition of the playful seriousness of the 1913 armory show, the insurrectionary sarcasms of the modernists. yes, it is an unusual entry, but i would venture, that given opportunity, the page could grow and become more relevant and meaningful. i agree that leaving the page opens the door to other unusual entries. i'd like to see if the definition evolves before it's deleted. - 'mabel dodge'

• and tenderness

I think it was around the 15th century in Italy that artists originally started signing their names to their works. (I havent come to a firm reference for this yet.) Observing the consequent train of celebrity and acclaim, perhaps it would have been better if it were otherwise. For joy. Just silly painstaking wonderful joy.

communion: If whales, sharks and suchlike communicate over huge distances within a conductive medium, one might well assume they live within a state of continuous togetherness. When looking at the planet Earth, what really is the difference between water and air in terms of conductivity? And what songs do humankind sing? Instinctively.

• Not that I don't enjoy a good dose of horseshit every once in a while, but howzabout we concentrate on the matter at hand instead of pretending that we're discussing a profound matter that has tremendous consequences on every level of the human experience?

[edit] A confusion of locations

i suppose it really comes down to "does pleasantblue exist"? it seems to. -'mabel dodge'

• No, it doesn't come down to that. -- Captain Disdain 10:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • if this discussion isn't about whether pleasantblue exists or not, whether or not it warrants an entry in an encyclopedia or "compendium of existing knowledge", then it seems that such a compendium doesn't exist for it to be entered into. (oct 15 '05) (-reworded)
    • perhaps this is because pleasantblue appears to follow the laws of infernal dynamics
• dont forget the tenderness...

[edit] A mess of scenarios

aside: "Hey, interesting, heh, most of them doesnt know their relativistic force-free equation from their hyperbernoulli principle. Well thats ok. Hey, fancy some chocolate?" [Ref]

1. A bevy of small strangers made entrance through the city gate, knocking first on the door of a modern and most public pavilion with a modicum of trepidation and some more innocent (some might say naive) playfulness. They were received by the inhabitants with generous consideration; dignified yet subtle assistance; and patient observance of their confusion at finding themselves within such an place of middling-high esteem. All in all, it was a respectful yet pleasant meeting and looks likely to further enable the search for chocolate. Oh, yes, and toes. stardance waves gracefully...
2. The people were no longer satisfied with "A is for apple". There was a newly formed Institution for the Conservation of Z. Something had made simple words heavy with implicit meaning, as if carved in stone. Standardised spelling was remembered as if it were a quaint aberration within history. Even slight typographic mistakes took on a freshness and vitality that was hereto unrealised. It was the time of reseeding.

[edit] The Tao of Replication

I say keep it. Or delete it now and wind up admitting it later, to your chagrin. After all, at what point does a meme become "successful"? How many people need to have formed a part of a movement before it can be said to exist? What's in a name? A rose by any other name? Taoism? Dada? What? Zen? What what?? Paradox? How can this be? What? How can What be? What? What is nothing? Nothing's gotta be something to be in here. I say delete all the entries in the Wikiverse because any attempt to describe Reality must ultimately fail. The map is not the territory, the word is not the thing. God, Brahma, Truth? What? Lies! What are we talking about? -BGood- (P.S. - Why are there entries for Unicorns?)

This seems to me like nothing more than a massive, blog-based astroturfing campaign. The only thing that linked here was the pork barrel article, though I had already removed the link while copy-editing the article, since it didn't seem to have any value at all and appeared to have been spammed by Porkbusters supporters. —HorsePunchKid→龜 06:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Porkbusters has received widespread media coverage in its attempt to highlight wasteful spending by the US Government see [25] The effort was co-founded by Instapundit a leading blogger. Already 246,000 Google results for a campaign founded a month and a half ago is pretty impressive in my book.

  • Comment: For the moment, I would suggest leaving it. It seems pretty notable, and several hundred thousand hits for a campaign that's been running for a just over a month is pretty impressive. If in a few months time all the hype dies down, and it proves itself to be nothing more than a fad, at that time I would advocate deletion, but for the time being, if I had to make a choice, I would say Keep. Saberwyn 05:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep This is a serious attempt to address a serious political and economic problem, and probably one of greater long term significance than, say, Cindy Sheehan. One of the strengths of Wikipedia is it's ability to address "flash topics." - Lawrence Person

• Keep. "Massive blog-based astroturfing campaign?" Isn't that a contradiction in terms? The "porkbusters" effort isn't being pushed by a single organization or even party; it's an entirely voluntary and yes, grass-roots movement. I could just as easily say that the Cindy Sheehan hysteria in August was a "massive media-based astroturfing campaign on behalf of a marginal band of leftie radicals." That wouldn't give me the right to ban any mention of it from a public forum.

If this doesn't deserve notice, I don't know what does.
• Strong Keep and Expand Porkbusters is notable now and has great potential to morph into a permanent political movement.

• Keep per Capitalistroadster. Greetings, Instapundit readers. Your enthusiasm is admirable, but please keep in mind that input from very new user accounts is routinely discounted on AfD – this policy is in place to combat the swarm of "one-issue voters," if you will, that shows up when one of the most popular blogs links to a particular discussion, for instance. As it stands now, this article is unlikely to be deleted. If you came here from Instapundit and just created a Wikipedia account, please consider not voting, as you will only complicate the closing out of this discussion by the administrator who does it. android79 02:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep I am not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, but I have gotten into the habit of checking Wikipedia whenever I come across new terms such as this. Perhaps when the movement is finished and the term is no longer floating around it would be appropriate to revisit the decision.

That's basically what I'm thinking. If it fizzles out and turns out to have been ineffective, it will presumably be less noteworthy. —HorsePunchKid→龜 07:34, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I don't have nearly as much of a problem with it now that it doesn't just read like a content-free spamming attempt to make it sound more established than it is. I would withdraw the AfD if I didn't think it were already going to be kept anyway. My apologies to people who have taken offense at my wording, but I stand by it; if nothing else, we apparently have very different definitions. Thanks to the people who have helped turn it into a real article. —HorsePunchKid→龜 03:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• Emphatic Keep: Even if Porkbusters itself is a short-lived phenomenon (possible but not certain), it's emblematic of the way the new, grass-roots media works, in ephemeral fits and starts that occasionally catch and move mountains. As such, it's useful. Mitchberg 12:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't need to add anything, do I? — Sandstein 13:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and Expand: Just as 9/11 caused some political realignments to take place, the Katrina rebuilding efforts are causing them as well. Anything that can get the Republican base aligned with Nancy Pelosi is worth a closer examination. The Monster 14:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Emphatic Keep: I would of course be pleased to see the entry kept, but that's up to the Wikipedia community. If it is kept, however, I'd ask that the URL for the main porkbusters page be corrected, as it has a typo now. The correct url is http://truthlaidbear.com/porkbusters. -N.Z. Bear
  • Fixed the typo. You are welcome to make any other improvements to the article, even while it is being considered for deletion, except for merging its content elsewhere or changing the article's name. android79 14:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Also, you should consider putting a 301 "moved permanently" redirect in if you intend to make that URL canonical. This will help search engines realize that the .php version should not be used. I've done this many times on relatively high-traffic pages and never had any trouble with PageRank dropping or anything like that. —HorsePunchKid→龜 16:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: At least until history decides if this is the beginning of a movement, or a flash in the pan. At the very least, it's a nation-wide call for debate on the buying of votes by Congress.
• Stong Keep: This is the start of a movement that is getting national media coverage. I believe that this will have its place in history as the end of the wall between the wants of government and those of private citizens. -lilbrocool 21:07, 14 October 2005

[edit] Price v. Philip Morris, Inc.

Paste of a court ruling, not an article

• Delete. Gazpacho 20:11, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move to wikisource if possible, otherwise Delete unless someone writes an actual article here (I'd do it but I don't know anything about this case).--Isotope23 20:37, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wikisource, then delete. This is a trial court order, not an appellate court judgment that declares new law - it might be a notable case, but it's one of many dozens like it against the tobacco industry, so an actual article on the case would probably be either redundant to the whole class of cases or very stubby, and either way would likely benefit from a merger into an article on tobacco litigation. I was thinking that if Wikisource is to be a repository of court orders, it would be better to start from the top, but then again it's always useful to have examples of opinions from different levels of court.  BD2412 ^talk 21:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move/Merge as the trial is notable in a minor way as supporting information in other source material. It does not qualify to stand alone as it is not one of the benchmark cases, and there is no true "article" included. If the author reads this feedback before the 5-day period, and still feels this is worthy of an entry, I suggest a significant rewrite in narrative/expository format including whatever information justifies an independent entry. el_amante 20:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Primary Fundamental Right

• Delete Advertising and or spam not notable--MONGO 09:29, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Delete as advertising, researched the author and came up with this as the only place that mentions the PFR or the author besides the WP article. KillerChihuahua 15:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. If the PFR had ever been used successfully as a defense in a Canadian criminal case I'd vote differently. As it stands this is just more personal diatribe (with 3 Google hits) than useful information.--Isotope23 18:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nn legal crackpottery, with no wide acceptance of its existence. MCB 06:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

"If the PFR had ever been used successfully as a defense in a Canadian criminal case I'd vote differently." Canada's most famous fugitive from the American drug wars Renee Boje is the 11th signatory to the PFR petition. The word diatribe means "A bitter, abusive denunciation." if you had read the PFR you would see that there is nothing bitter or abusive in it.

Wide acceptance should not be a criteria. Over 200 people believe enough in the Primary Fundamental Right to risk the wrath of the police state by signing the PFR petition. Many others endorse its principles privately. {Bernard Palmer|220.239.49.36|12:06, 13 October 2005 (UTC)}}

Please do not confuse "wide acceptance of the principle itself as positive law" with "wide acceptance of the existence of the principle as a well-known, verifiable theory of law". Wikipedia does not, indeed, require the former; but it does require the latter, and there is no evidence of that. MCB 02:27, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

The UN declaration on human rights accepts the principle of mans right to own their own bodies when it states there shall be no slavery anywhere. The Primary Fundamental Right is a title for this embodiment. Bernard Palmer

• Delete. Neologism loosely related to right to privacy. Chick Bowen 19:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Since when is neologism a bad thing? Quote Chick Bowen, "Wikipedia is wonderful, but it is scattershot—its function is to present as much information as possible without distinguishing within it. That is its chief strength." (Unsigned comment by User:220.239.49.36. — CB)

Neologism is not a bad thing, but it doesn't belong on Wikipedia, per community consensus and the will of our founder. I certainly didn't mean that statment to defend anything that anyone puts into Wikipedia. On the contrary, my point about the strength of not distinguishing between categories of knowledge is that we can devote 10% of our resources to Pokemon crap and not impact our treatment of Alcaeus. But that doesn't mean we should put forward your original idea as if it were encyclopedic. Chick Bowen 23:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 I have made major changes, there is no advertising. Please review before deleting. Bernard Palmer

Reviewed. It's still your idea and not a pre-existing one. How can an encyclopedia put forward a claim about what Madison would have done were it not for slavery? Anyway, please see Wikipedia:No original research for the policy in question here. Chick Bowen 23:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

"The phrase "original research" in this context refers to untested theories; data, statements, concepts and ideas that have not been published in a reputable publication;". I agree the Primary Fundamental Right has not been published in any reputable publication that I know of. The Primary Fundamental Right is very much a child of the Internet, it was born of the Internet, is disseminated by the Internet. No idea so precise and simple could have bloomed anywhere else. Same as Wiki. "the will of [[Jimmy Wales|our founder" was much influenced by Ayne Rand. The Primary Fundamental Right is a bible for 'Objectivists' who advocate laissez-faire capitalism, Jimbo's perfect society. I guarantee if you ask Jimbo to click on the link to 'What is the Primary Fundamental Right' he would recognize the important role the PFR could play in changing society for the better. It is such a simple concept that its real beauty is in its simplicity. Imagine everyone legally owning their own body. It sounds preposterous but none of us in this wonderful technological age actually do. We let it slip away and it is sliding faster and faster. The Mises Institute anticipates totalitarianism will engulf the USA early this century. I think they are right that's why I built the PFR. That's why I am pressing my case with you. I want you to see that just because it hasn't been accepted by the 'elites' it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Bernard Palmer

Do you have a source that proves this is actually in development and not a figment of someone's imagination? Just curious. I couldn't find anything on it. AlistairMcMillan 18:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Nope, I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt. IMHO, whether he has written 100,000 lines of code or just dreams about writing his own OS over a bowl of cheerios, the net effect is the same: No verifiable existence. I couldn't find any reference to real development either though.--Isotope23 19:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as unverifiable. --Apyule 06:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - although I can't verify it, this could be related to "Tiger OS" and "Petasoft" (see votes here and here respectively) - some awfully vague operating system project "based on Linux and FreeDOS" or something. Especially when the earliest version of the article rambles stuff about Windows Vista and stuff. Even if this is completely unrelated to those, this stuff is not yet notable unless they have an actual release out, or some show of an active development community (which is to say a website up, even preliminary, and publicly viewable CVS/etc repository which shows they have bazillion lines of code and new hyuuge commits coming in every week). As it stands, this is completely, utterly unverifiable. Plus I find absolutely nothing on google about the author either. --Wwwwolf 11:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism this is not. Instead, this is rambling babble without encyclopedic merit. I don't feel it's quite a speedy, though. Delete — Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:34, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Dear Admin, Please allow this article to remain while more information on this subject is prepared for this entry. Please note that a google search on the subject of this article, "quonsar", yields over 30,000 hits which may serve as proof of the relevance and value of this topic. Thank you very much.

So now he's just a blogger? That makes me almost want to go strong delete--Isotope23 00:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

• Dear Admin, If you expect every Wiki entry to be as recognizable as FSM, then you'll have a lot of deleting to do as people add articles about subjects which interest them but are not as widely known as the FSM meme and therefore cannot measure up to such an arbitrary comparison. The article in question has been modified to provide more information. Please do not assert your deletion powers today upon this article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.210.197.2 (talk • contribs)

• Not to be snide, but as you can see, we already have a lot of deleting to do because of non-notable articles. Anyway, I've offered FSM as a comparable benchmark, not as a hard and fast rule, and the community consensus will dictate whether or not the article is kept. I will note, however, that "Quonsar is suspected to have an astronomical IQ" is not likely to improve the article's quality. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rave Kitty

A webcomic which can be found here, hosted on comicgenesis/keenspace. Although listed on the Alexa rankings of ComicGenesis it is not one of the more popular comics, being that most are still hosted on the keenspace domain. Relatively new with just over 50 strips uploaded, furthermore, a google search shows no mention of notability for the website. If this were a website, it would have been deleted, but because it has a webcomics stub instead of a website stub, it makes it so much more elusive. It shouldn't be so. As of writing, there is no entry for this at Comixpedia, is Wikipedia becoming the first port of call for webcomic artists? Let's do something about it. - Hahnchen 14:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I'd even go so far as to say Speedy CSD:A7, though I'm sure someone will say there is an attempt to establish notability. I'd argue that when your claim to fame is "president of the Georgia Junior Classical League" you are not trying very hard...--Isotope23 20:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Another A7 Speedy Delete candidate even if he is champion of Latin" in Georgia. How do you achieve this? Capitalistroadster 00:52, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• A7 Speedy Delete agree with all points noted above. The subject certainly has potential to be notable enough at some point, but not just yet. The author can assure him that once he gets a few years out of high school, he could be considered again, based on his accumulated achievements. el_amante 21:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy per above two. PacknCanes 03:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, I know this kid. He's absolutely brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a President.

How much more can be expanded beyond dic-def? Even if the 1911 Britanica article was coppied word for word, it'll still be a dictionary definition. Because all it says is what the word means in English, Scottish, and Old English, all of witch can be covered in a dictionary entry. Best solutions I can come up with are expanding the Wiktionary definition, and/or merge with ladder. — Kjammer ⌂ 17:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

It's actually kind of cool; we went from a request for speedy delete, to AfD, to a keepable article, all in less than a day. At this rate, we'll have a Featured Article candidate by the end of the voting period :-) --RoySmith 18:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. This book appears to have widely reviewed and is by a notable author. I would vote to keep a decent stub.

[edit] Simon chan

Supposedly the lead singer of "The Simon Chan Band", which gets 0 google hits. The rest of the article is either nn or at best unverified. A search reveals that Simon Chan does exist, but it portrays a totally different character. Another Simon Chan was featured on the ABC Queensland radio programme Conversation Hour: "Here's a relatively unknown chap… a barrister, one Simon Chan." I say delete unless someone conducts a total rewrite. Punkmorten 17:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as the Simon Chan band doesn't meet WP:music. The Music Australia site which has records of every Australian musical act of any note doesn't have records of the Simon Chan band [28].A Google search for the Simon Chan band doesn't have any results see [29]. Almost an A7 speedy as none of the other biographical details listed namely former Chinese soldier and martial artist are an assertion of notability. Capitalistroadster 00:13, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as I can't even tell if this is simply a vanity page or a simple hoax. The lack of independent support for this entry seals the deal, unfortunately.

• Comment ... however this might actually be a notable person - Bombay Stock Exchange links here, and Google turns up various legitimate pages under the alternate spelling Phiroze Jamshedji Jeejeebhoy.

• Speedy Delete Malicious attack on a real person.Bwithh 14:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup, as it appears to be the same person. Here's a quote from one of the results, "The BSE is housed in the 28-storied Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers in the same place where the old building once stood. Sir Phiroze Jamshedji Jeejeebhoy was the Chairman of the [Bombay Stock Exchange] Exchange from 1966 till his death in 1980." -- Kjkolb 14:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Agree that this is the same person that's referred to in the context of the Bombay SE - therefore notable and deserving an article. However this article as it stands now needs way more than just a cleanup - more like throw away and start again. I'm guessing that Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy is related somehow, perhaps an ancestor? Someone knowledgeable needs to sort this out. Muntfish 15:53, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Soviet Union invasion

• del, Romanian-langauge text for a valid topic. Delete unless translated during the time this discussion. The creator, User: 86.105.71.34, has a history of contributions in decent English language, and such foreign dump is simply a disrespect to the community. mikka (t) 01:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless translated by close of vote. Linked to by the Romania article but should be named as Soviet invasion of Romania. After all, it certainly wasn't the only invasion launched by the Soviet Union. Capitalistroadster 02:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

  PS Has a Request for Translation been done for this. Capitalistroadster 02:24, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

  Yes, if it is the question. But the guy should have thanslated it himself, or asked other people. In fact, there is plenty written in English on this topic. And in wikipedia as well: histories of Bucovina, Bessarabia, Chernivtsi Oblast, etc. He just bluntly dumped it on us. Bad precedent. mikka (t) 02:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

  Evidently, though, he didn't translate it, and we should make the best out of the situation. We're trying to make an encyclopedia, not a complex disciplinary system, so if it's possible to have this translated, it should be translated regardless of whether we're theoretically setting a bad precedent. I don't speak Romanian, so I refrain from voting, but it should go without saying that any action has to wait until after the two weeks on PNT. EldKatt (Talk) 10:05, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete given it has been through the translation process. It would be better if someone so inclined wrote an article about the Soviet Invasion of Romania from the start. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for required two weeks, then, if not translated delete. The translation listing seems to be done at "19:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)" (shortly after creation). I wish it could be deleted, but it seems that's not allowed. --rob 03:38, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It can be deleted before it's two weeks are up, if you think that Wikipedia shouldn't have an article on the Soviet invasion of Romania (e.g. if you think it shoulc be merged into History of Romania). I'm not sure there's much consensus for anything at the moment... Physchim62 16:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for the two weeks. Wait until translation process has been finished to see if we have either of (a) a translated article of this article to move to Soviet invasion of Romania or (b) an article written in English on Soviet invasion of Romania or (c) an untranslated article on the same topic. Capitalistroadster 04:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move while it undergoes translation. the wub "?!" 19:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Should be moved to Soviet invasion of Romania, and translated. I'm very concerned that this inappropriate placement on AfD short-circuited the translation process: usually, while an article is on AfD, no one works on translating it. I strongly suggest that if this survives AfD the clock should be reset to allow two weeks for translation, starting then. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Delete as a fleshed out entry could be easily worth keeping. An entry with notable books published by Loft Press and/or various notable milestones in the subjects career and/or the history of Loft Press would qualify.

[edit] The Bolla Quartet

Looks like band vanity to me. Allmusic hasn't heard of them, and though they claim to have one album, I'm willing to bet it's self-released. They also claim to have been formed 3 days from now, but that's probably a typo. R. fiend 16:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: One album would normally not constitute notability anyway, but the touring would. I have no idea if the claims are true, though. Punkmorten 20:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Some people tend to give a bit too much credit to some "tours" as well. If this one is true, it seems pretty extensive, but some outfits can get in a car, play a few high schools in a couple states, or open for another minor band, playing sparsely attended clubs (or, worse, coffee houses), call it a "national tour" and get a wikipedia article based on that. I don't give too much credit to mere tours, usually. If a band has no recordings, then no one knows what they sound like before they see them, and it's unlikely too many people specifically go to see a band they really know nothing about. -R. fiend 22:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Seeing that the little chap the debate is about is Hungarian, I've had a look at your entries on Hungarian performers in your allmusic guide. If you truly mean ALL music, then you're seriously deficient on the classical side. Unless I'm totally computer illiterate, I couldn't find Andras Schiff, Zoltan Kocsis, Tamas Vasary, or Eva Marton - just to name a few. I regret to inform you that the Allmusic Guide is hardly a competent reference on Hungarian music or musicians. (JP)
      • I've noticed deficiencies in allmusic as well, particularly in foreign musicians. "Allmusic" is a bit of a misnomer. I don't know much about the site, or what they purport to have, but they are about as good a guide as anything out there, as of yet. However, they do have Schiff [30], Kocsis [31], Vasary [32], and Marton [33]. Not to accuse you of being "computer illiterate", but you must have done something wrong. It happens. -R. fiend 15:28, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a worry when most bulletin board articles, particularly extinct ones, run on the same basic wording. This one doesn't really establish itself, and really, having reread the article, I realize my lack of knowledge of the subject doesn't aid the article's comprehension. Delete.

Does not merit its own article. It gives some basic info about the special effects in The Matrix, and that's about it. This article should be deleted and its content merged into The Matrix. --218.212.97.17 15:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
