[edit] 2011 Cricket World Cup

Textbook crystalballery. Right now, it's unsourced speculation about a future dispute (which has yet to arise, as far as I can tell) over the location of an event six years in the future. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Just to make it perfectly unambiguous: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Why isn't this a criteria for a speedy? / Peter ^Isotalo 21:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think the development of this debate shows exactly why it isn't, and should never be, a speedy. Xoloz 17:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep As the article makes clear, it's just become a very important dispute in the world of cricket politics. See [1] for example. I should add that since we were both on IRC at the time, and I explicitly mentioned this article as one that did have substance, I'm surprised you did not discuss the matter with me rather than list this article for deletion. I'd have happily explained the point, jguk 21:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- I didn't see any comments to that effect in IRC; granted, I was busy quibbling over the merits of assault rifles at the time. If this is the only relevant fact and preparation won't begin for years yet, why is this not a minor mention in Cricket World Cup? Why is even documented speculation about a future dispute meritorious of a standalone article? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:34, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep I have pruned the most speculative parts of the article. What remains would be hard to source, as it is undoubtedly common knowledge in cricketing circles. I would recommend the addition of a source for "it came to the media's attention that the Asian nations, led by India may put in a bid that almost certainly would be able to outvote Australia's claim instead". While this is certainly true, it would help to have a source. [[Sam Korn]] 21:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Arg, Jguk (and now Sam!), you beat me to it! Here's my site [2]. Of the latest news when I looked at this site 4 of the lead stories (out of 15) where about the 2011 World cup. It seems like a big deal. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 21:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
weak transwiki to Wikinews? Seems like it MAY be appropriate there... Roodog2k (Hello there!) 21:44, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball is not relevant here, since it is clear that this event is going to take place and much of the palnning and jockeying for votes has already started. It's fairly big news in several parts of the world already, and Cricinfo regularly has quite a bit of news and information about it. Grutness...wha? 00:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It's an event that will certainly happen, and is currently big news because of the political wrangling taking place over it. -dmmaus 00:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, as per Grutness. Carioca 01:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep: we have Football World Cup 2010, so the fact that it's a number of years away falls down. And as others have said, this is an argument of considerable importance in cricket politics, since the increasing influence of the subcontinental countries is in itself a story - enough so that anyone who reads Cricinfo (ie most cricket followers) will be reading a good deal about it. Loganberry (Talk) 01:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, per Grutness. This event really will happen, which means it's not just blind prognosticating. PacknCanes 03:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep, see 2016 Summer Olympics (venue to decided). The 2011 Cricket World Cup will happen, it's only a question of where. -- Ian ≡ talk 03:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep an event that is likely to happen, so it isn't a crystal ball thing. User:Nichalp/sg 05:08, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep; controversy is real, sourced, and a matter of some international interest. "Crystal ball" would be if the article attempted to assert or predict the actual outcome. MCB 06:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Speedy keep: real event, real row going on, no crystal ball required. Filiocht | The kettle's on 07:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep per above arguments. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:01, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong Delete 2011 is just a wee bit too far in the future. I mean, really, 2011? that is half a dozen years from now. One or two years is perfectly fine, but 6? Again, very strong delete. Masterhatch 10:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Masterhatch, your point is undermined by the fact that there are articles for the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics.--Vivenot 17:54, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep or merge into a broader article on cricket politics. Cool3 04:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep - it's going to happen, just like other upcoming major sporting events. --A bit iffy 12:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep - the content of the article should be changed, but the article itself should still exist, as qualification has already begun --DavidEdwards 15:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep - Lots of good information for Cricket & Sport lovers. Bwfc 23:17, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep - It doesn't matter how far it is in the future. If it is being discussed about now, then an article is written about it now Da Gizza ^Chat ^(c) 11:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete (unanimous). --Scimitar ^parley 15:43, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2309

Not only is this a one-line stub about one minor fact about a fictional character, it's an incorrect one-line-stub about one minor fact about a fictional character, as Jean-Luc Picard says that he was born in 2305. There's no useful information to merge and the redirect would be totally worthless. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 16:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. No scheduled events, perhaps some astronomical events but those should be in century articles if they are this far in the future. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 16:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting that Jean-Luc Picard's birth has been scheduled? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 16:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  - No, I'm not. It should be deleted because there are no scheduled events. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 16:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
    - Oh, okay. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 16:43, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete for now unless someone can add an astronomical event or a correct fictional reference for the year. 23skidoo 18:28, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Instead of wasting servers on this, they could add the one sentence to the Star Trek page.Rhetoricalwater 18:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete no comment needed Masterhatch 10:42, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete not worthy of a merge, but this inofrmation could be placed in a broader Star Trek article. Cool3 17:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- I would have been bold and merged it myself, actually, but it's incorrect trivial information. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:20, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Keep - 18 keep/15 delete (merge and move votes counted as keep) - 8 plain keep votes, 10 merge (including merge/redirect), 2 votes to just redirect. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 22:33, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 9814072356

Delete; a non-notable number as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers criteria. --Russ Blau (talk) 02:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, being the largest square number using the digits 0-9 is notable. Kappa 02:29, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Unless I'm mistaken, the representation of a number's digits in base 10 has rather little to do with any mathematically interesting (i.e. notable) properties it might have. Write it in binary, say, and the same number is suddenly much less interesting. What's next? The largest square number using only digits 0-8, 0-7, etc? Largest square number using digits 0-5 exactly once in base 6? Really now. flowersofnight 02:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- What's next? Delete 666 because it's not mathematically interesting? Kappa 02:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  - 668: The neighbor of The Beast -- George Carlin -- Qaz ^(talk) 02:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
    - More funny beast numbers at Number of the Beast (numerology). Denni ☯ 07:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  - 666 is in here for reasons other than mathematical interest. Lord Bob 03:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  - 666 isn't an apt comparison though, seeing as it's famous as the "number of the beast", and not just the fact that it's three 6's in a row. 9814072356 lays no claim to cultural significance, so it needs to be judged on how interesting it is mathematically. My point, I suppose, is that this article makes no claim to mathematical notability. It just points out a quirk of the way we write the number in base 10 - which is only one of many ways to write it. flowersofnight 03:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not a notable number. I mean, I kinda like the '1407' in there, it really adds a certain je ne sais whatever, but still... Lord Bob 03:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep as per Kappa abakharev 05:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Real number, interesting properties. Klonimus 22:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete, this number is trivial and non-notable, and certainly won't ever have a page like 666 (number), nor any of the other numbers the Wikiproject is working on. In fact, it probably won't ever get beyond this one line. Perhaps it can be merged into another article, like square number, as trivia? Baryonyx 06:43, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge with square number and redirect. Certainly do not keep. Proto t c 08:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete - I can't conceive of somebody typing in this number in a search box, without aleady knowing its "signficance". --rob 09:28, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable, per nomination and also because Wikipedia is not infinite. (Note, in particular, the interesting number paradox) -- Peruvianllama 09:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Note that Wikipedia is very big. We only have about 245 integer number articles. And that we take more space with an AfD thn the article does. And that 427 (number) quoted as an example by Uncle G was speedied because it looked like nonsense. In fact someone had put "square furlongs" as the unit, when it should have been cubic inches. Rich Farmbrough 00:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. NN. I'm sorry but this has to go. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 09:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge with square number and redirect. -- RHaworth 10:18, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge with square number and redirect. -- Mrmooky 14:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Vote discounted when counting, user has 12 edits all of which are to AFD's. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 22:33, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge with square number. Redirect if you must, though like Thivierr I can't imaging anyone thinking "Hmm. I wonder if the number nine billion eight hundred and fourteen million seventy-two thousand three hundred and fifty six has any interesting mathematical properties" and typing it into the search bar. --Last Malthusian 14:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

More likely, why did I write down 9814072356? Or having discovered one of it's properties, wanting ito know if it has more. Rich Farmbrough 00:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Not in the Book. Pilatus 15:13, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Don't bother merging or redirecting, delete. The square numbers page already has lots of examples, none of which have separate redirect pages. -- Corvus 17:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with Corvus. I find the idea of merging this into the article on square numbers silly. If I type the number in the search box and I get an article on square numbers, does that make sense? Why not the article on pandigital numbers? Why not the article about integers? Anton Mravcek 21:52, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  
  Exactly why it needs its own short article. Rich Farmbrough 00:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge into square number as above. The reason why we must also redirect has to do with the GFDL, not functionality - since we can't merge histories we can't merge then delete. ESkog | ^Talk 17:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

*Delete One interesting property is not enough to justify an article. This number is not even listed in the OEIS. The one interesting property can be mentioned in the page on 10^10, which has a listing for selected 10-digit numbers. PrimeFan 18:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC) I'm changing my vote to Keep but move per consistency with other number articles. PrimeFan 20:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes it is mentioned on OEIS : twice. Rich Farmbrough 02:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- You're right. It shows up with Advanced Search. PrimeFan 20:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge agreeing with above. Otherwise this should be deleted. Dottore So 19:52, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete By deleting we get rid of a history which consists of an anonymous user putting down one bald line about a number with just one interesting tidbit to it, followed by logged users condescending on the anonymous user, finally leading to a deletion nomination. I won't cry to see that go. Anton Mravcek 21:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong Delete. First, a dicdef at best. Second, NN. Third, it is named wrong. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), articles for years have pure number titles, just like 2005, 1945, 476 and 3. This article should be about the year AD 9814072356. Redirect to 9814072nd century? --A D Monroe III 00:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, it would be the 98140724th century. Proto t c 09:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  - No, wait, it should be 98140723rd century! Gosh! This is getting almost as interresting and useful as the article! --A D Monroe III 19:28, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
    - Nope, it's the 98140724th century. The year 2356 would be the 24th century, just add on the other numbers in front. Proto t c 08:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Move Should be moved to ~(number) Rich Farmbrough 00:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge into square number. It is notable, but only for those researching square numbers. It is not substantial enough for its own article.Dotto 01:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge as above or move. JYolkowski // talk 02:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect, not because I don't think it's notable enough to merit its own page (honestly, I am not sure of that either way), but because I think it's much more likely that someone will search for this information in square number. I have no problem with a redirect, though, in case someone does search for the specific number, because reidrects are cheap. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete per A D Monroe III. NatusRoma 04:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete as having no particular cultural, historical, or mathematical interest. It does some little tricks, but don't all big numbers? MCB 05:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Not notable enough, all big numbers like this have a few fancy facts.Rhetoricalwater 05:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect into square number. Like several others, I feel there's a small chance this information may be of some use to those researching square numbers -- but it does not deserve its own article. Engineer Bob 07:17, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge Of minor interest as a base ten number, though I cannot imagine anyone searching for this number without already knowing its significance. Oh, what the heck. Delete. Denni ☯ 07:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep - but rename as 9814072356 (number). Qualifies for its own article under the remarkable mathematical property criteria. Can't see any criteria that say a number must have more than one remarkable property to qualify for its own article. Could be expanded to a more general article on pandigital squares or pandigital powers. Definitely do not delete - it contains some really interesting information. Gandalf61 11:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- I was thinking of the part that says "As a guideline, you ought to know at least three interesting properties of a number. (What constitutes interesting can be debated, but the point is that the careless creation of number article stubs is to be avoided.)" I don't see three interesting properties in this article. --Russ Blau (talk) 14:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  - A proven Sierpinski number would be remarkable. A counterexample to Poincare's conjecture would be remarkable. An odd perfect number would deserve its own article even if it was very dull otherwise. But a square that is pandigital in one base? Interesting is as far as I'll call it. Now, if it was pandigital in several consecutive bases, that might be remarkable. PrimeFan 14:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
    - Assuming you mean using each digit exactly once, it is impossible for a number to be pandigital in more than one base. If you allow repeats then the number in question fits the bill for bases 1,2,3,4. Rich Farmbrough 17:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
      - I for one would find it interesting if this number was pandigital (even with repeats) in every base up to the largest base for which it would be reasonable to expect pandigitality (sort of like a strictly non-palindromic number n is not palindromic in any base from 2 to n - 2, while in base n - 1 it must be "11"). But it fails the test at 5, and I don't find that all that interesting. Anton Mravcek 18:21, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        I did not completely think that one through, but I was going in the direction suggested by Anton. PrimeFan 20:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete. This number has just one remarkable property, which I'd classify as mildly interesting at most, and which is listed at other places. The other properties listed in the article need to go, IMHO. I think a redirect to square number would be confusing; perhaps redirect to 1000000000 (number) where other 10-digit numbers are listed. I seriously doubt that the GFDL requires a redirect in this case since mathematical facts are not copyrightable. Only a weak delete since the number is apparently listed in some other books. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 15:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- IIRC, it's quite commonly mentioned in math puzzle books, like Rouse Ball's. Septentrionalis 22:54, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete a) as this stands, this is a year, not a number. b) it is not an exceptionally interesting number (or year, as far as is knowable). Xoloz 16:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep but rename for consistency with other numbers. Its a) the largest pandigital square without repeats, b) its the square of a stroborgammatic number and c) I promise I will find one more interesting thing about it so we can just drop the not enough intersting things argument. Numerao 22:35, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
'keep this as a unique article please it does not have to be merged Yuckfoo 23:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep as per it is mentioned on OEIS, and per Kappa. Also, it may not be mathematically interesting, but neither is 31, or 7, so why don't we delete those if we're deleting this. We've already taken up at least twice the space of the article with this debate. Scythe33 01:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirect into 1000000000 (number), which is a list of 10-digit oddities. There is already a line for this; so technically a merge is unnecessary. Mention under square number. Septentrionalis 22:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Redirect or into 1000000000 (number), and don't mention or merge under square number - it's not interesting enough for inclusion there. Only truly interesting mathematical properties should be given their own articles. -DDerby-(talk) 19:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Why not mention? Even though you may want to delete it, there is no reason to completely ignore it.

The best guide to notability, be it of people, companies, software, products, or web sites, is whether other people, independent of the subject itself, have considered the subject to be notable. The litmus test for that, outlined to greater or lesser extent in all of our various notability criteria (WP:BIO, WP:CORP, WP:WEB, and so forth) is whether the subject has been written about in multiple separate published works that whose sources are independent of the subject xyrself. (WP:BIO talks about press coverage and independent biographies. WP:WEB talks about media attention. WP:CORP uses the broad term of published works, and is explicit about excluding self-promotion.)
Furthermore, as Geogre says, it is a disservice to AFD and to the encyclopaedia as a whole to apply criteria erratically and inconsistently. It is wrong to hold the Wikimedia Foundation, its board members, and its web sites to standards that are different to the standards to which one holds other companies, people, and web sites.

It is also wrong to argue that "If Tim Shell isn't notable then neither is Angela Beesley.". The two are very different cases, as research shows. Researching this person, I find that unlike Tim Shell Angela is the subject of multiple works published by people independent of Angela, Wikia, Wikipedia, or the Wikimedia Foundation. Angela is quoted in reports, and conference sessions given by her are published and commented upon.

As such, unlike Tim Shell Angela does satisfy the criteria for notability. Keep. Uncle G 17:14, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Putting Tim Shell on the Google test, he gets 14,600 hits. This satisifies notability for me. --WikiFanatic^{Talk Contribs 15:27, 17 October 2005 (CDT)}

Weak Keep I don't think she has general notability on her own, but she does have notability in Wikicircles which would at least give her a subsection of some sort somewhere ("Board Members of Wikimedia" or something like that), and quite frankly, i'm unsure of the perception of whether or not board members of corporations truly are notable or not after the Tim Shell Afd, and none of the criterion pages help the decision on that factor, so i'm erring on the side of caution.

Keep useful school article.

Rest assured, if you do, they will be kept. Verifiable real schools are now included in wikipedia at a rate of about 100%. In September 63 schools were nominated, and the only one deleted was a hoax.

Passionate Keep This article, although small in scope, is quite factual and informative. Specific Organizations DO make it in this encyclopedia, and such entries are extremely resourceful. It is not trivial, it has a local impact. It is noteworthy, for if one is not impacted locally, such an article like this is necessary to learn about it. The vanity and propaganda claims can be addressed through revision. It is also historical and archival, as well as pertinent research material. --Malecasta 00:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I would, however, agree that the Constitution in the article is a "source text," and it should probably be moved to wikisource. --Malecasta 03:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  - That's fine, but this article is definitely NN. I mean, if the C.L. of T. had started the political career of America's first Libertarian president, that would be one thing. But this group is really really trivial. I don't mean to belittle its accomplishments, but it's a small club in a small college for a very small political party. Again, delete. - Sensor 05:28, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
    - Response I would agree you have a valid point. I think the charge, then, would be to show the impact and discussion about this organization, and I think substantial commentary, even if local, is enough to make the entry notable. If there is discussion and secondary work about this group, then that should be enough to reference it and make the topic available to people that would not be familiar with the topic. Instead of famous being the standard for noteworthy, this is my understanding of the criteria. So I guess it would be famous on a very small scale. This protects against arbitrary judgements of triviality and size. Keep, Revise --Malecasta 06:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete Nice effort, Malecasta, but there is ample precedent that college groups are not retained around here unless they are exceptionally noteworthy. It is normally very easy for a single individual to found one and receive some local press coverage. Xoloz 16:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Works for me. If that is indeed the overwhelming standard, then no reason it should not go. Delete per Xoloz. --Malecasta 17:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. To say that the CLT isn’t making an impact on campus is an unfair characterization. Perhaps the impact is relatively small, but it's definitely existent. We have several events lined up, and we will be planning more next semester. In fact, I just got through a planning meeting for the Marriage Equality event referenced on the article, which will be held on Valentine's Day next semester. We're reserving an entire field on campus for this event; we're scheduling speakers; we're creating a petition to legalise gay marriage in Maryland just for this event. One can hardly say there's no impact. As for the comments about the college being small, from what I’ve heard, this (i.e. Towson University) is the second largest college in Maryland. I believe University of Maryland is the only one larger. As for vanity, that's perhaps a fair claim, as I didn't bother creating any article for the other groups on campus. But this is because I know more about the CLT and its history than I know of the other groups. Allixpeeke 03:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I totally agree with this, but it has been suggested that college organizations, by precedent, should not be published unless their impact is exceptionally noteworthy (see Xoloz). I personally disagree with this policy, if it does exist, and I see hundreds of reasons why it should be Kept and Revised. I am very weary of something being deleted because someone thinks it is insignifcant, and I've tried to give a correct interpretation of the Noteworthy policy above. I strongly believe if there is secondary discussion of any kind about the organization, no matter how small or local, it should be kept. This consensus, no matter how small, should ALWAYS override the arbritrary judgements of some, and even a majority, that the article is trivial and not important. Otherwise, a lot would not be in this encyclepida because of the prejudiced and provincial views of some (or most) people against many topics. The only consideration here that has been convincing to me is the Precedent of how the encyclopedia has handled these issues in the past. I think that's a fair standard to apply here, but I will modify this to say I do not believe the precedent is right and perhaps the precendent should be ignored because it is wrong and not in good spirit. I think people are concerned about vanity and advertising, and there is no reason that cannot be addressed through REVISION. I would hate to see this article go on account of "delete-hawking," deleting for the sake of the good of the encyclopedia on very simple grounds. This article, obviously, deserves a broader consideration. --Malecasta^(talk) 03:57, 2005 Oct 15 (UTC)
  - Clarification Definately, the "upcoming events" section should go, go, go. I am not urging this page be kept for self-promotion. This should be a topic about this orgainization. This should not be the origanization's page. Surely they can get their own web space for that. --Malecasta^(talk) 04:12, 2005 Oct 15 (UTC)
Comment I removed all self-promotion references, and I removed the Constitution because it can be found in an external link. I believe the vanity issues have been addressed. The article, as it appears now, is a factual entry about the Organization, which should probably be expanded upon to further demonstrate the topic's significance. Finally, the initial reason for deletion was that the page was "not noteworthy." Not being noteworthy is not a major criteria for deletion, and a factual topic about anything, should be signifiant. This article should be expanded to further show its significance and secondary discussion. Of course, I refer to the previous comments I have already made about deletion for not being noteworthy. I believe a factual entry that shows an organization of relevance and significance exists here, and it can be developed. I think the concerns in the reason for deletion have been addressed or greatly mitigated.Keep, Revise, Expand --Malecasta^(talk) 04:33, 2005 Oct 15 (UTC)
Delete - no amount of expansion will make this entity significant. WIKI is not the place for listing every college's individual organizations. Storm Rider 05:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Even though Wikipedia:Importance is not an official policy, the Wikipedia:Importance page does offer some guidlelines for revision for this topic. The problem with Wikipedia:Importance and Wikipedia:Notability is that no one has a definite sense of what these terms really are, so depending on who you are, you're right, NO amount of revision can make anything significant or notable. Because of this, these criteria alone make the topic a weak candidate for deletion. --Malecasta 22:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I tried merging them into a Camps of Philmont article but if quality information is added to each subheading, that article will be enormous.

This is at least the fourth article on the same topic (History of Cuban espionage) that the creator has made this week.

Strong Keep(and two edit conflicts!). Merging all Dell products to a single page would produce the mother of all Wikipedia pages. Dell Branded PDA's are distinct enough from Dell's main line of business to merit their own article. There is also precedent for PDA models to have their "own" page, instead of having to appear on the page of their parent company, and we should strive for consistency. Palm Pilot has an article separate from the company Palm Inc., IPAQ is listed separately from Compaq or HP, CLIÉ is separate from parent Sony, Apple_Newton is not on the same page as Apple_Computer.--inks ^T 04:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Foot-in-the-door technique

~~Original research, non-verifiable~~ RoySmith 03:52, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Based on changes made, I (the nominator) change my vote to Keep. --RoySmith 16:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep and expand - the sales technique it's talking about is certainly real. It's not the best article it could be, but this is an amateur encyclopaedia after all. If someone wants to take a crack at cleaning them up, sources for usage of the term can easily be found with a Google for 'foot in the door "sales technique" ' or similar. I'll do it myself if no-one's done it by the time I get some free time (probably tomorrow evening). --Last Malthusian 14:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, keep. This is a valid sales technique. The article itself isn't in great shape, but that's what the cleanup tag is for. -- Captain Disdain 22:04, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I've expanded the article. Comments welcome. --Last Malthusian 13:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the article is much improved, but I still have my concerns. My initial reaction was, but this still sounds like Original Research to me, and I'd like to see some references, when I notice the link at the bottom of the page and followed it. I'm not sure how to react to the linked article, however. The first part of it is a very reasonable explanation of the technique, but near the end, it turns into a demonstration of the technique; the article is not really about a sales technique, it's a religious sermon, but the fact that it is indeed a sermon is hidden until the very end, by which time the reader is hooked on reading the article. I'd be much more inclined to vote to keep the wikipedia article if you could find some other external references to cite and ditch the sermon. --RoySmith 13:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

How about this one: [15]? It's pretty detailed, and directly addresses the issue in a way that the first reference didn't. Frankly, since it's been verified that the term exists, I agree that more and better references would be 'nice', but don't think they're essential to keep the article on WP. --Last Malthusian 15:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm ashamed to say I only just read the article all the way through and saw the bit about Billy Graham.

Good thing it wasn't about the miracle of Goatse :-) --Last "Foot-in-the-mouth" Malthusian 16:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

While I'm at it, I do think the original reference is rather cute and should stay in; the fact that it's a demonstration of the technique makes it quite an interesting external link, even if it shouldn't be the sole reference. --Last Malthusian 16:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

You should add this new reference, and I still think the sermon citation should be removed, but in any case I agree that with the rewrite it should be kept. It might also make sense to move it to Foot in the door, or at least make that a redirect to here. --RoySmith 16:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Done. And I've kept the sermon, but changed the text of the link to 'An example of foot in the door technique'. I know it's a bit dodgy, especially as the irony of an article about foot-in-the-doormanship being a 'foot-in-the-door' to talking about Jesus is apparently unintentional (look at the other articles on the website). But Wikipedia isn't a scholarly work, and I think we can have the odd idiosyncratic external link. --Last Malthusian 18:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep notable technique; I've seen listed in an advertising manual published 1948. Sadly, my chances of recovering the reference are close to zero. :( Xoloz 17:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep - as the creator of this article, I will say that my amateurish summary came from paraphrasing of my psychology text. I'm not really sure how exactly I could cite that, can we provide documentation without an external link? Also i came across to the article because it was linked from one of the psych articles, and I thought it was a shame that there was actually nothing there! So I decided to put in a stub just to get the ball rolling, which I guess it did. So can we reference a textbook? Lensovet 00:30, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

This is a common problem that I have just coined a phrase for. We experience this in the computer industry daily - there just has been no operating word for it.
This is a new phenomenon where google and other resources can give just enough info that a researcher who isn't versed in that industry can fall prey to a person who sounds authorative, but who really isn't. (preceding unsigned comment by 12.215.250.101 (talk · contribs) )

Do Not Delete. Come on people, this is totally not fair. I know of this band (having been into this typw of music when younger). They are totally legit. They were a music scene phenom in the mid-1990s among the LI Hardcore cult outside of New York City. Just becuase there is vulgarity in the title (which many bands have, I can refer you to many others) doesn't mean it should automatically be detected. What do you want them to do? Edit history and change the name of the band? I can't say that I agree with the presentation of the article (in terms of boosting the band), but hey, I've seen much worse on Wikipedia in terms of promoting the band rather than being objective. I will be looking for back-up cites, but in the meantime: Please Do Not Erase. I thought it was nice that something like this about long-dead local music appeared on Wikipedia... as it adds credence to the idea that the internet can be a source for finsing information about subjects that the mainstream media cannot deal with. Contact me if you have questions. James Kilgore, Long Island, New York kilgoreedu@mailcity.com

Keep and Categorize. I am the author of this page. Human Shit is the band's name. It was real band. They played between 1994 and 1995 just outside of New York City. Some say there will be a reunion. I don't know what more I can say. To those of you who know nothing about this subject (Mr. Kilgore below excluded from this category), don't make recommendations you cannot support intelligently!!! If it is non-importnant to you, it may be importnant to someone else. If it is considered vulgar by you, I would direct you to the entry for Fuck which is much more vulgar and intelligently classified on Wikipedia. Do not delete. It should be categorized under Heavy Metal, Music.

(by 207.18.113.138 2005-10-14 17:24:23)

- Comment I have no problem with the band's name. I have no problem with it being an heavy metal band. I do not find the name agreessive (although that is propbably the band's intention and they'd be sad to read this...). Plus I like heavy metal and went to some very minor underground band's concerts, so I don't think the subject is non-important. The article's tone is no reason to delete but to cleanup. It was nominated for none of these reasons.
  The main issue is «only released one indie album». That is a little short for WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. Show up something fitting one of those criteria, or even a little short of that (one good shot is telling for which label they recorded), and I'll be glad to change my nomination.

To Nabla: Listen Mr. Smarty Pants. Yes, you figured that the two entry's above came from the same computer. Very good for you. As it turns out, one of my colleagues here at work (I'm a newspaper editor, not merely some online know-it-all critic) knows of the band from way back then. So, he wrote the entry from the same computer. Big Whoop-te-do. It is a part of local history. And (I feel the need to repeat), it is history. This is why my friend was gracious enough to include his name and e-mail address. I keep seeing these "delete" directives from people with profiles indicating they are from the mid-west and even Australia. Let me ask you: Who are you to determine what is history and what is not. I'll be looking for supporting links, but you know what, it's not too easy. I have a CD sitting at home that tells me the band is history, and that's all I need to feel vindicated. Thank you.

Keep Humph, here we go again! The thing is now, how do you decide whether a person is notable? A search for my name on google reveals that all but three of the first 20 entries are about me. Between the online games, the robot wars stuff, and three webcomics, one could argue that I was at least quite interesting. -- Hijamiefans

Comment. Indeed. Mind you a google search for "Lucas Teodoro da Silva" reveals three pages of hits about no one but me. The first 2 searches on "lucastds" hit sources about me, and a search for "tedzsee" gives 6 pages of google entries about me. The thing is: Rosa Parks is notable. Martin Luther King Jr. is notable. Lucas TdS? Probably no more than you. And I think, until such time as your comic appears in this encyclopedia, the biography probably doesn't warrant a space here either. Now, I was one of those who staunchly defended the notability of said comic, but even so, I was uncomfortable with the idea of the bio appearing here. The precident is that webcartoonists usually don't have bios in this encyclopedia. Even the entry for Nicholas Gurewitch simply redirects to his comic (ie. he doesn't warrant a seperate entry because it is his COMIC that is notable, not him). I dunno. That's why I thought a redirect would be more appropriate. You can always post the bio on your userpage, as most wikipedians do. --Tedzsee 20:21, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. NN. One way for me to decide non-notability of people is to think: "I am non-notable. Am I more notable than this person?" Here, yes. A yes answer means farewell to the article. Xoloz 17:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete Only assertion of notability is being a noble. However the person was born in 1938, and the titles of Polish nobility were officially abolished in 1921, so while he has noble ancestors he has never enjoyed any privledges from being a noble.

Ho was kicked in the stomach and groin about 9:20 a.m. as he stood outside his shop on Moran Street and snapped photos of protesters and their signs, said Westminster police Sgt. Darrick Vincent.

[edit] Leo Gaica

I think this article is a kind of self promotion or some joke. I´m really into bodyboarding since the 80´s and I´ve never heard about this lad. Also, he seems to be only 15 now. Nothing makes him worth of a page in Wikipedia, since he has NO encyclopaedic value. I think this article should be forever removed. By the way he spoke utter lies. He claimed to have invented the 720 air reverse, when José Otávio from Brazil had it caught on tape a lot before this Gaica claims. Also Jeff Hubbard have done it before. This guy also seems to be vandalizing the Boadyboarding page to promote himself. A search in google returns nothing for him either. Loudenvier 13:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete crystal ball. I don't understand Kappa's argument. Dottore So 19:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- "Notable" is Kappa's all-purpose, one-size-fits-all adjective. --Calton | Talk 00:54, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, giving Kappa the benefit of the doubt, it is possible sometimes for the planning for an event to meet the criteria of notability and verifiability even before an event occurs. However, anyone passingly familiar with Hollywood moviemaking realizes that those are plans so subject to change that they do not meet those criteria. By the time this movie gets made, if it ever actually gets made, it could easily have a different title, two different stars and be changed from a suspense thriller to a dark comedy. I would like to give Kappa the benefit of the doubt and think that he actually put some thought into this and just made a mistaken assumption, rather than that he put thought into "gee, what flimsy argument can I make to cover my reflexive vote of 'Keep'?" However, I've seen his record... -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:08, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Thanks for the personal attack. This film is on record as "announced" for both Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, so anyone interested in their careers would want to know want happened to it even if it was never made. Kappa 02:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)\
    - Even assuming -- for the sake of argument -- that Wikipedia should automatically be containing information on movies that were actually made with given stars and on movies that were announced but never made, what exactly is the objection to waiting until we know which it is? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
      - It would be a waste of effort to recreate it, and wikipedia would contain no information about it until that time. Plus we might forget. Kappa 23:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

While I find that Kappa's penchant for inclusiveness often verges on the extreme, I find he usually musters an argument that should be taken seriously and is much more than just a cover for a knee-jerk keep vote. When I stated I don't understand what he means, I was being quite literal: viz, what is notably planning? Dottore So 11:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

- - - I second this sentiment. Kappa's dilligence and consistency is highly laudable, even though I often disagree with him. He's the true "advocate of the unloved article." If I knew how to make barnstars, I'd make a Clarence Darrow one, just for Kappa. Xoloz 17:09, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment This band seem to me like a lot more than just 'another local band'. If read into the article you can see without the source being bigheaded he has managed to describe a rather pioneering group. I have seen them play at the Make poverty history gig. Thier achivemnt was impressive alongh with others and made it into their my local paper (I have the article but not permission to print it yet).

Delete nn. Dottore So 11:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep This article details an upcoming band who may not yet be known to everyone, but as stated in the article, this band is in fact a musical "movement", and although they have not yet released any albums (which you seem to believe is the only thing that quantifies a "band"), one is in fact in production (as stated in the article), on a small record label. Disregarding music because it does not fulfil your 'criteria' would be a shameful attempt to classify art. For example, the Arctic Monkeys last weekend played a sold-out gig to 2,000 people at the Hammersmith Apollo, although they, too haven't released an album. How many bands do you know that:

a) Didn't start "local".

b) Are as radical as this band? This is not just another 'local band', this is a very unique way of expressing music, one which has not been seen in quite sometime. I personally, am a follower of this band (I began the article) and am very intruiged by their musical style and persona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notch (talk • contribs) 08:16, 14 October 2005

The last deletion attempt on this article, which can be seen here, had either a 6 out of 13 or 7 out of 14 count for Keep by my account, depending on Ambi's vote, which I assumed to be a delete by defacto. Regardless of Ambi's intentions, this should have been closed as Keep, No Consensus rather than as a Keep, and the ensuing confusion in the conversation has led me to believe that another look at this is needed. Currently No Vote from me. Karmafist 02:38, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Per Jan's comments below, I'm changing my vote to Merge or Redirect with Toki Pona, she's not notable on her own.
Ultimately, I believed that gaining a clear consensus after the last AfD was the largest issue here, but since that attempt was apparently percieved as a ploy in the continuing Deletionist/Inclusionist nonsense, apparently my original goal is being ignored. Therefore, I've decided to discard that goal and go with my opinion on the article itself rather than the AfD. Karmafist 05:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

To avoid misunderstandings, there's one thing I want to make crystal clear: I am not accusing you of any kind of ploys or deletionist nonsense. In fact, it's obvious to me that your intentions are honourable. My earlier remark concerned repeated AFDs against one article in general (an example that still gives me a bitter taste in my mouth is the case of Fyksland, which first survived two VFDs, then it was decided to merge and redirect Fyksian into it, and then it was killed in a third VFD after all). --IJzeren Jan 09:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, Jan. I'm going to keep my vote, but i'm glad there's no hard feelings. Karmafist 16:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. In my opinion, an renewed AfD is way over the top if the only purpose is having the conclusion of a previous one reformulated, especially given the fact that the final result would be the same anyway. In your place, I would rather have contacted the administrator in question. --IJzeren Jan 09:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Then we agree to disagree, Jan. I reopened this vote largely because of the ambiguity that was caused by the admin who opened and closed this last time, Ambi. If I asked Ambi, that wouldn't help the other people(the reason how I found out about this article) that were somewhat perplexed at how the last AfD was closed, and she would have to repeat that task several times. That was probably a minor mistake since Ambi has a reputation as a great Wikipedian, so this is just to make sure what consensus is and to absolve her of any future problems from those ambiguities. Karmafist 15:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Abstain. If someone can show that the language created (Toki Pona) has made a few waves than its creator merits ancillary inclusion; disinterested secondary sources rather than blog entries count in this regard. For the moment I don't see anything. Marskell 08:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep. The notability of Toki Pona is beyond doubt. But does its creator therefore merit an article on her own by definition? Not necessarily, if you ask me. The "notability by proxy" mechanism could work if: a) the article about Toki Pona would get too long, or b) Kisa would be notable for other things as well. Now, I don't think any of those two is the case. Besides, the article in question doesn't add much to the phrase used in Toki Pona (created by the "Canadian translator and linguist Sonja Elen Kisa") anyway. Normally, I would therefore have voted "merge". But the article has already survived an earlier VfD, and I don't think it would be a good idea to constantly re-AfD articles until the deletionists get their way. So "keep". --IJzeren Jan 09:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stargate Wars

Non-notable fan-made (unauthorized/unlicensed) online game. It's one of many more-or-less interchangable "Build an army by paying us money or recruiting other players" online games, and doesn't, as far as I can tell, have any sort of news coverage or other impact. Google backs this up, with 133 unique links, many of which are people spamming to try to recruit other players. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete non-notable game.--Isotope23 18:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree that it is unauthorized but, I my self have been getting help on improving it and a number of new players said that they saw the page and they liked it because it was actually more helpful than the actual site. If it is deleted now, before it can even get a chance to gain some traffic, some will be mad, and others will be disappointed until someone trys to make it again. Please just give the page a little bit longer.

- Which not only makes this non-notablem unauthorised and fancruft. I'm pretty sure that an article designed partially as a walkthough and partialy as a recruiting advertisment has no place in an encyclopaedia. Delete Saberwyn 07:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete not-notable game. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

What exactly defines a game as non-notable? Whether authorized or not, the game has attracted almost 40 thousand users since it was put online 8 months ago, more than 16 thousand of which are still active in the game and/or the forums. The administrator of the game has constantly made updates to the game to please users, as well as improve gameplay. The administrator is currently developing the 4th version of the game, giving all users a gaming experience that they can look forward to on a daily basis. To call the game non-notable is arrogant and pompous, and the current article does a great job of defining the game's brief but storied history, as well as giving new users an idea of what they need to do to excel in the game.

Almost 40,000 usernames, in a game where gaming the system to make false usernames for the referral bonus is rewarded? That's less than you'd think. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Cheaters who create double accounts are found and baned by Admin and Mods of StargateWars, many cheat fixes are implimented to prevent multi accounting. 40k players NOT 40k usernames. More players are joining every day and unactive accounts are deleted. Stargatewars is most popular Stargate game on all the web.

First of all, the game does give limited referral bonuses, but as it seems you haven't done more than give it a cursory glance you don't seem to realise that these bonuses are essentially useless for anyone trying to do even marginally well at the game. Link clicks from the referral links are limited to 50 per day, which in the grand scheme of things would count for about 1% of the growth a player can realise in a day through actual gameplay (i.e. nobody bothers with the link clicks anymore). Furthermore while there are bonuses for supporting the game people can play (and be quite successful at it) without paying a cent. In fact some top players have received supporter bonuses FOR FREE from the admin for their excellent gameplay. A few players known for their excessive donations have been singled out and targeted as the practice of donating to achieve rank is strongly frowned on. The game appears to be initially based on Kings of Chaos (which has it's own wiki) and expanded the concept to create a far richer more engrossing gaming experience. So it's non-notable why? Because there are no media articles on it? Much that is noteworthy fails to appear in the media and even more that is not noteworthy appears in the media with all too much frequency. Perhaps to you it's not, but to the stargate fans out there this game is noteworthy and considering that it is the longest running sci fi show in US history and second only to Doctor Who all time globally, I think that it's a testament to how Stargate has entered into various different facets of culture outside of television.--Freeside 07:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a blatant clone of another game, not very popular as free online games goes, has gotten absolutely no press coverage despite an entire industry devoted to covering games, hasn't even been around very long, and isn't even terribly significant in the context of the Stargate fandom. (I'm not disagreeing that Stargate is notable; but, then again, we're not talking about deleting the Stargate SG-1 article.) When this game is as popular and influential as Kings of Chaos, it will merit its own article, but until then it doesn't. Sorry. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 07:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

"I'm pretty sure that an article designed partially as a walkthough and partialy as a recruiting advertisment has no place in an encyclopaedia. Delete Saberwyn 07:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)". Two things: 1: This article does not contain any recruitment links AT ALL! Have you even bloody read the article?!

2: Has anyone actually read 'What wikipedia is not' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information)? I quote: "Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports" - thus, why does an article need to be about media? I quote again, from the same source: "Subjects [people] of encyclopedia articles must have a claim to fame besides being fondly remembered by their friends and relatives." However: no where in that OFFICIAL article by the wikipedia admin does it say that non-human subjects need to be 'notable'. So there! Keep or put yourself at the mercy of all Stargate nerds And I am just about to add an external link to my own walkthrough guide; this article will act as a brief summary of the game, but not a walkthrough (whoever suggested it was). ZPMMaker 08:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Are you threating Wikipedia in your vote? How absolutely silly.
As for claims of notability, as a matter of practice all things need to assert notability, unless (and this a very controversial exception) that thing is an inherently notable thing (and online web-based games aren't even close). - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

No, that was not a threat (what made you think it was?). Also, it does not say that it needs to be notable. If you know where it says it must, please point it out to us.ZPMMaker 11:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete Unofficial, unlicensed, and non-canon. (And this is coming from a Stargate nerd.) slab 13:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can gather there are two main points supporting deletion. First that the game is unlicensed, hence not fully legal, and second that the game's popularity is deemed too limited to warrant inclusion. Correct me if I'm wrong. Now the first point is actually irrelevant. Something being authorized/sanctioned is not a pre requisite for relevance. I think you would agree after a moment of thought that unsanctioned/unauthorized work can often be equally or more relevant. So saying "Unofficial, unlicensed, and non-canon" is essentially moot. As for the second point, if using Kings of Chaos (KoC) as a metric, a comparison between the two shows that KoC has about 10 000 users online at this moment compared to about 500 for Stargate Wars (SGW). Now this indicates that SGW has about 5% of the usage that KoC has. This is notable. KoC has been around for almost 5 years whereas SGW has been around for a matter of months. In any other arena, say for example web browsers, Firefox developping a user base that was about 5-10% the size of IE was certainly considered notable. --Freeside 19:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Unofficial, unlicensed, and non-canon is subject to "foxing". Don't laugh-- MGM has already gone after others for similar. SGW is also charging money for support, which could be construed as the use of MGM's copyrighted material in order to turn a profit. You know, something which MGM's legal department wouldn't take too kindly to. A cease-and-desist means that the game would likely no longer exist, making the need for an article on a short-lived web-game "essentially moot." Hence, my objection.

Back to the current article, though: Your argument seems to basically be 'there isn't a huge userbase yet... but there might be someday! And then we'll be glad we had this article!' By that math, I could write up a web-game and have it online for five minutes... sure, it might have one user now, but if it lasts for five years like KoC, then there'll be 525 600 users! (I'd better get started with that article.)

As far as the Firefox analogy goes, it's apples-to-oranges. In the web-browser arena, IE has something like 90% marketshare; thus 5-10% is notable, as that makes it the second most popular browser. Stargate Wars is one in how many different web-games (each with how much share of the market)? slab 23:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I happen to have a lot of respect for Tim, being a board member and such. And I don't believe much in the notability thing. But, Tim doesn't seem notable to me. His assertions to notability are being the Bomis CEO and being a Wikimedia board member. We should not make special exceptions for people who work with Wikimedia, this is bad. It seems like a huge self-reference to me. And, it uses information from the Wikimedia Foundation wiki. I feel this is original research because it's written by Wikimedia. I hope to soon become as notable as Tim Shell, and I would make a self-nomination for VFD if an article was written about me at the same level of notability. --Phroziac^(talk) 01:38, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete... the Sonja Elen Kisa argument isn't very compelling. Regardless. I don't think every CEO is notable; there needs to be auxillary reasons for notability (notable company, media coverage, etc.) Bomis fall just short of notability IMO, so I don't really see Mr. Shell as notable as a CEO. Board Membership does not confer notability in and of itself. I wonder if we would even be havign this discussion if Mr. Shell had no involvment in Wikipeida and was just a CEO of some random dotcom with a board membership on some other random project...--Isotope23 13:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- My own opinion regarding the value of this article has nothing to do with Bomis or Wikipedia. Any CEO and/or Board member of similar sized organizations should have an article. Tim Shell's relationship with Bomis and Wikipedia means he has an article sooner than other similar people. Please don't make comments that don't assume good faith on the part of people whose opinion is opposite your own. Unfocused 15:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

    - My musing on whether or not we would be having this discussion if Mr. Shell was not involved in wikipedia was not an assumption of bad faith on your part Unfocused and I'm sorry if you took it that way... it was just a comment and it wasn't directed at you. I simply don't agree with your contention that every CEO of a mid-sized company is notable. In my opinion that is extremely low bar to set for notability. That's just my 2 cents and you are certainly entitled to disagree with me. On another note, I would support a merge of this information into the existing Bomis article as has been suggested here by others.--Isotope23 18:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
      - Just so you know, I hadn't intended to "get in your face" over this, but only to point out that your sentence beginning with "I wonder if we would even..." seems to presume improper bias on the part of the article author and all subsequent "keep" voters.

Weakest keep ever. Bomis doesn't fit my "deserves an article on every CEO ever" criteria, and Wikipedia, in terms of the prominence of it, doesn't deserve an article on every board member ever in my eyes.

Such a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article: Merge the useful content into a more comprehensive article [Bomis] and redirect --SPUI (talk) 15:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
The best guide to notability, be it of people, companies, software, products, or web sites, is whether other people, independent of the subject itself, have considered the subject to be notable. The litmus test for that, outlined to greater or lesser extent in all of our various notability criteria (WP:BIO, WP:CORP, WP:WEB, and so forth) is whether the subject has been written about in multiple separate published works that whose sources are independent of the subject xyrself. (WP:BIO talks about press coverage and independent biographies. WP:WEB talks about media attention. WP:CORP uses the broad term of published works, and is explicit about excluding self-promotion.)
Furthermore, as Geogre says, it is a disservice to AFD and to the encyclopaedia as a whole to apply criteria erratically and inconsistently. It is wrong to hold the Wikimedia Foundation, its board members, and its web sites to standards that are different to the standards to which one holds other companies, people, and web sites.

Researching this person, I have yet to find anything published about him by someone independent of Bomis or the Wikimedia Foundation that isn't a straight one-sentence mention, as an aside, that parrots Wikimedia:Board of Trustees, Bomis (from the version before Jimbo Wales removed mention of Tim Shell from that article), or Wikimedia. See the one-sentence mention of Tim Shell in this article in Florida Trend for example.

Additionally, Lord Bob's argument is wrong. Claiming that someone is notable within the group of users of a web site does not wash for Wikimedia board members and Wikmedia project editors any more than it washes when people assert that their BBS sysop is notable within the users of their BBS, or that a web discussion forum participant is notable within that discussion forum, even though unremarked upon elsewhere. Other people, independent of the subject, have to regard the subject as notable, and have to demonstrate the extent to which they find the subject notable by creating and publishing works of their own about it.

As such, this person does not satisfy the criteria for notability. Delete. Uncle G 16:55, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps I wasn't clear. I wasn't asserting that he was notable because he's notable within Wikipedia, I was asserting that, for the sake of smooth operation of Wikipedia as a website, it would be valuable to have articles on the board members. It's not that he's notable as such, it's that he's notable enough within Wikipedia that Wikipedians would have an easier time of it knowing who he is. Not that this article is that great, but it might get expanded. As you might have guessed from the weakness of my keep, I'm not entirely sold on this argument but it's stuck in my head and I cannot ignore it. Lord Bob 18:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  - The place for the Wikimedia Foundation to publish articles on its board members is the foundation's own wiki. And that's where it does publish them. See the hyperlink given above. As for the possibility that this article could get expanded: the immediate question is "expanded from what source?". As I pointed out above, the only source of information on this person that provides anything more than a sentence of information is the Wikimedia Foundation, and the article already contains everything available from that source. Uncle G 11:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

This shouldn't be assumed to mean he isn't notable in the article as CEO. Un focused 16:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep per Lord Bob. For me, this is about user convenience. A user might want to know about the people who run this place, and WP seems like to a logical place to uncover such information. As I see it, it isn't about a double standard as much as full disclosure of what makes WP run. Xoloz 16:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- The Wikimedia Foundation has its own wiki for full disclosure, and the page where it publishes information about its board members is hyperlinked to above. We also have Meta for foundation-wide things. The main article namespace at Wikipedia is not the be-all and end-all. We should not be basing our judgements upon what meta-information about the foundation it might be handy to disclose, since that is a decision for the primary sources (e.g. what the foundation decides to disclose on its own web site about its board members), not the encyclopaedia. We should be basing our judgements upon whether this biographical article meets our criteria for inclusion of biographical articles. It is not about full disclosure, and is about double standards. Your argument is employing the very double standard that we shouldn't be employing. Uncle G 11:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I have to disagree, Uncle G. While I was dimly aware that there other Wiki sources for this info, WP is the first place I (and I suspect most casual viewers) would look for this information. It needs to be here to be easily accessible, and I take easy accessibility to be part of full disclosure. Perhaps you didn't read what I wrote very carefully, but I knew my logic was endorsing a kind of double standard in the interest of this easily accessible, full disclosure. As with all policies, when there are conflicts of interest, one must decide which one believes to be more fundamental, and I take the view that administrative transparency mildly trumps or, at least, augments this case for, WP:BIO. In any event, either because you did not read carefully, or because I was unclear, I do feel your tone was unduly harsh. Xoloz 16:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
    - You are arguing on the flawed basis that Wikipedia is, and should be, the primary source for information on the Wikimedia Foundation, to the world and to Wikipedians. Wikipedia is not a primary source, and, as I've already pointed out, there are other wikis for that. Those wikis exist for the very administrative transparency you are looking for. We aren't here to host and publish primary source material for the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia is not a hosting service for the Wikimedia Foundation any more than it is a hosting service for anyone else. It's clear, from the existence of the Foundation's wiki, that the Foundation doesn't expect us to be its hosting service, either. As I said, whether to have this biographical article in Wikipedia is not a matter of administrative transparency and full disclosure, and is a matter of double standards. If we had this little information about an executive of any other organization, which was only available from the person's autobiography on that organization's own web site and not verifiable from an independent second source, the consensus to delete would very probably be unanimous.

- Huh? The point of the externality of sources is whether they are trustworthy; if a source is trustworthy, then the information is verifiable. Are you suggesting that the Foundation wiki isn't trustworthy? Xoloz 11:49, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  - "It is said that his birth was marked by earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, firestorms, the explosion of three neighbouring stars, and, shortly afterwards, by the issuing of over six and three quarter million writs for damages from all of the major landowners in his Galactic sector. However, the only person by whom this is said is Beeblebrox himself, and there are several possible theories to explain this." — Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fit The Ninth.
    Looking for multiple independent sources is just as much good encyclopaedism as it is good journalism. The problem with the source is not that it is external. It is that it is not independent of Tim Shell himself, and is tantamount to autobiography. As Wikipedia:autobiography says, and as the preceding quotation implies, autobiographies have verifiability problems. Furthermore: They definitely cannot contribute towards notability. Self-promotion does not automatically make one notable. Other people have to regard the person as notable. See above. Uncle G 16:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
    - I'll respond here to all your points, though some of my counterpoints will be brief. In the case of a Wikimedia board member, WPians are uniquely positioned to maintain a verifiability check on the content that is posted in these articles, as least as it relates to relevant professional details. Zaphod Beeblebrox' autobio was not subject to Wiki revision; patently false claims are likely to be removed, given the dilligence and active interest of the community in its leaders.

As for the rest, I simply disagree that I proceed from a false premise. Experience indicates to me, and the Keep votes here do also, that Wikimedia's board members are more likely to remain unknown if some provision is not made for their information to be listed in article space; if your concern for a double standard is not calmed by a faith in the ability of our board members to be reasonable (and to be overseen by the Wiki editing community), then -- by all means -- tag them with a special disputed tag, highlight them in a caution color, bemark in any appropriate way to suggest that they are different. In the final analysis, though, I find that their special status within the Wikimedia world creates a special need for WP articles. I make this finding based on a firm belief that their biographies should be transparent, and that -- without WP articles -- they are not sufficiently so. Feel free to disagree, but I find the suggestion that my analysis is "false" to be strangely positivistic. We aren't discussing a bare philosophical theorem. We are considering alternatives for the priorities of the WP. You value more the strict enforcement of a guideline; I, an interest in making our leaders' information very easily viewable to even the most casual user. No one has a "false premise"; these are simply competing values in tension, each value with its own merit to recommend it. Xoloz 05:54, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

- Exactly. Speedy keep. And by the way, can anyone explain to me why we can't, theoretically, have an article on every radio station? Right now the precedent includes most, but not all of them, and I'm not saying that that should necessarily be changed, but... we could, if the Wikipedia community agreed to it, indeed have an article on every radio station, right? This isn't Encyclopedia Brittanica around here, and thank god. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I don't object to keeping significant radio stations, I think there the ones that only have W and K call signs, but very small stations should be excluded. One source says there's 12,000 commercial radio stations in the U.S., so I suppose it's possible to include them all. However, the worldwide number is much higher, probably between 50,000 and 150,000. -- Kjkolb 02:21, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
    - Right now, "very small stations" are defined by precedent as being no larger in scope than one city. And I'm not arguing that the precendent should change. Just pointing out the possibilities. :) --Jacquelyn Marie 04:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
    - So we need to drop all of the ones that begin with C in Canada where many have a large number of listeners in the US? Using only 2 of the beginning letters for call signs is not the way this wiki should work. It is not only about the US. Vegaswikian 05:37, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
      - I was talking about establishing notability for U.S. stations only, not criteria for other countries. I'm kind of stumped trying to figure out how it could have been interpreted otherwise. W and K only have meaning in the U.S. as far as I know, and it would be nonsensical to exclude radio stations from other countries on that basis. Anyway, the point was that, from looking at the FCC website, it looks like very small stations in the U.S. get call signs like NJ9AZ and the commercial/bigger stations in the U.S. get the four letter call signs that begin with W or K.
        
        Random point: commercial radio stations aren't the only notable ones, I think. I think if a station is commercial, that is more of a guarantee that it will be notable, though. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:22, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
      - However, that criteria may be too inclusive. 12,000 radio stations is a lot and if the stations in the rest of the world are judged by similar criteria, relevant to the country it's in, it will be a lot of stations. If there's only 50,000 stations in the world that would meet the criteria, it would be 6% of the total pages we currently have in Wikipedia (19% if it's 150,000). -- Kjkolb 09:37, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        Maybe we could create something like WP:MUSIC for radio stations? --Jacquelyn Marie 15:22, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        Sounds like a good idea. I think the current, informal criteria is whether is notable outside the area, but that doesn't make much sense to me. In mountainous areas, signals don't travel very far and if you can't hear the station, how would it become notable? Even the coastal range here in California (2 to 3 thousand feet where I live) severely limits the range of local stations. I also think that there could be non-commercial stations that are notable, although I think the big ones still get the W and K call signs and that the 12,000 number includes even small commercial stations. (I'm not saying that any station without them is non-notable, though). I'll look into developing criteria. -- Kjkolb 08:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment I am all in favor of articles on significant radio stations, such as some of the American superstations, or radio stations such as CJCA (one of my (blush) articles) which have some important historical heritage. However, most radio stations are like most schools in that they are utterly ordinary and devoid of any individual character. Denni ☯ 08:00, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Licensed radio station. --rob 04:37, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was no consensus. Rob e rt 23:07, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yocrunch

Non-notable, uninteresting product MacRusgail 15:26, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete unless if we plan to list every product ever, this should go Ashibaka (tock) 20:20, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No please: do not list every product ever :-) Gtabary 22:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep unless and until we come up with a good set of standards to determine brand notability. Clearly, this is different from the Mach 3, but how? Meelar (talk) 22:56, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- We already have such a set of notability criteria for products. See WP:CORP. Uncle G 05:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I would have suggested merge, but there isn't enough material really decide where to merge it, nor is there any real loss in tossing it. --Gmaxwell 02:11, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete per nominator. Anyone who wants to keep lousy articles like this should spend some time to improve them instead, so they are less likely to end up on AFD. Quale 04:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- ... which is exactly what I've just done. Uncle G 05:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
People independent of the company have written about the product, its marketing, its packaging, its manufacturing process, and even about inventive ways to incorporate it into a kosher diet. (See the references that I've added to the article.) The WP:CORP criteria for products are satisfied. Keep. Uncle G 05:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Mild keep for the rewritten articel. Seems mildly notable. I wouldn't be devastated if this were deleted, however. DES ^(talk) 20:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Good on Uncle G. Keep with the additions. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The rewritten version establishes notability. --GraemeL ^(talk) 22:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete Non-notable product. I'm not convinced that it's an original invention either. Bwithh 02:50, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep as rewritten. MCB 06:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete Non-notable yoghurt-cruft. Why would the author choose to write about the product over the company, which would likely pass the notability test? Dottore So 11:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. An article about the company would be fine, but I'd guess it's more likely that someone would come to Wikipedia looking for information about this product than about the company. JamesMLane 18:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete brand with local/regional importance only, i.e. not even national, obviously not global. No unique features. Would, maybe, fit in in a list of the company's products, no need for an article. Nabla 18:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, brand with importance, if only local/regional. Kappa 23:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
~~Delete and~~ redirect/move to company page, which would solve the unlikely problem of a Wikipedia search for Yocrunch. Nothing links to this page. I don't see anything notable; Wikipedia doesn't cover the several more successful imitators of the product, so there's no call to identify the original one (even assuming that this is original). Precedent: Trix Yogurt and Danimals currently redirect to the company page. FRCP11 13:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- "delete and move" is a self-contradictory choice. Uncle G 13:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Delete --Allen3 ^talk 18:41, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
