[edit] Acuvue

Keep. I think a good case has been made for keeping the page.--Srleffler 17:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep and expand as notable brand of contact lenses. Capitalistroadster 07:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
If someone can expand the article and remove the advertisment-ness, keep it. If not, delete. Saberwyn 08:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment This issue has surfaced many times before. When does a brand become notable enough for its own entry as opposed to a redirect to the comapny that makes or sells it? In this case, the article is simply a list of associated brandnames. I can't see how that is notable in-and-of itself? If there was a controversy, a history or some other dissociated aspect of the brand attached to it, then it would be clear. But as it stands, this is essentially empty so why not redirect to Vistakon or J&J? Dottore So 10:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- The issue has surfaced enough times that WP:CORP was created to deal with the very question of product notability. Uncle G 11:23, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Thanks. By the iterated standards, shouldn't this be deleted then? Dottore So 16:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
    - According to WP:CORP it meets this standard: The product or service has been the subject of published works whose source is independent of the company itself.. "Acuvue" gets 96 hits on PubMed. Edwardian 20:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
      - Thanks for this information. This certainly alters my opinion, although it would be nice if the page actually contained some content other than who makes them, and a list of their sub-brands.--Srleffler 21:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        I agree. I added a couple of items to get the ball rolling. Edwardian 21:54, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notable brand of contact lenses with large, wide-scale advertising. Mmmbeer 15:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, per WP:CORP (specifically Criteria for products and services), although the suggestion to redirect to Vistakon is a good one to reduce potential linkspam from on-line contact lens distributors. Edwardian 20:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, granted this page has been subject to spamming (hence it is on my watchlist), notability is easy to establish. If you recognize a brand immediately, it is notable, published works are not necessary. - 24.141.72.95 06:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adoration (band)

Article doesn't establish notability, Allmusic hasn't heard of them, can't get any worthwhile Google hits for them. -- Captain Disdain 01:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nomination. -- Captain Disdain 01:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Strong delete not only does the article utterly fail to establish notability, the fact that the author removed the AfD notice just screams that this thing needs to go. CanadianCaesar 01:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Removed it twice, in fact. And I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again, as the second time around he replaced the AfD notice with "FUCK YOU DONT DELETE MY SHIT WHILE IM WORKIN ON MAKING IT GOOD." Hey, buddy, if you're reading this -- the AfD notice won't affect your work on it; if you turn it into a good article about a notable band, it will not get deleted, and I (and, I presume, Caesar over there) will be glad to change our votes. If, on the other hand, it's a non-notable band (see WP:Music for guidelines about that), you're probably wasting your time. In any case, if you keep deleting the AfD notice, you'll only hurt your chances and end up being banned in the process. There's no point in that. -- Captain Disdain 01:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - And, to top it off, he just edited this page to change our votes. Guess he really doesn't want to edit Wikipedia. -- Captain Disdain 01:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Affect heuristic

Delete as post modern jibberjabber of the worst stripe. The term is not defined, the article's sources are not quoted (eg: which 'Zajonc' is the author referring to and what was the title of his 1980 paper?), there is no context to the article and it is poorly written.

[edit] Aircraft weapon

Is notable, but in the form it is written in, I suggest that it be deleted or started over again. Plus, Wikipedia probably already has an article that would cover information about this. Molotov (talk)
14:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nom. As far as existing articles go, the nearest I can find is List of aircraft weapons - I can't find any overviews of the history of airborne armaments, so we do apparently need something along those lines... but this isn't it. - Haeleth 18:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
We have a wide range of current weapons in our Missile article including an article on Air-to-air missile and Air-to-surface missile. We have categories on Guided Missiles and Bombs as well as a Bomb article. This isn't worth merging and it is of dubious benefit as a redirect so Delete.

[edit] Alkhemi

del nonnotable, nonverifiable (i.e., promo). A whooping 8 google hits excluding wikipedia & mirrors. mikka (t) 01:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Maybe redirect to Alchemy. Jkelly 01:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
The list of hyperlinks on Talk:Alkhemi appeared to be a promising start for checking to see whether this company satisfied the WP:CORP criteria ... until I looked at the linked pages and found that not only did they give no information whatsoever about this company, over half of them didn't even mention the company at all. Further research turns up nothing about this company that isn't directly from the company web site or from its pseudonymous purported founder and CEO. Not only are the WP:CORP notability criteria not satisfied, the company is barely even verifiable. Indeed, the article says this outright ("alkhemi [...] is [...] relatively unknown outside it's [sic] network of clients"). There's no evidence that this company isn't simply a fiction created by one man, published on his web site, and mentioned wherever his autobiography is quoted; let alone evidence that this company is considered notable by other people. Delete. Uncle G 02:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thomas1917's modifications to the article mentioned below have not addressed any of the above points, and have provided none of the evidence that is required. The hyperlinks supplied below purportedly for verification are the very ones from the talk page, that provide no information about the company or that even don't mention it at all, that I mention above.

From the article text: "alkhemi does not publicise it’s work and is therefore relatively unknown outside it’s network of clients"; "alkhemi does not generally disclose or discuss in public its historical or current portfolio of assignments". Please give me a reason to believe that I would want to read an article about alkhemi -- otherwise, I can't help but vote Speedy Delete. -- llywrch 23:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep I believe the work to be very notable; from Copenhagen and Arhus (I am Danish myself) I know of the work to be ‘real’ so I am personally shocked to be in such a discussion. I have decided to follow my instinct and have completely rewritten the page, which will partly meet the objections lodged here but makes clearer why the page should be ‘in’ Wikipedia – others may revert my edits so please click on history! I made some comments in the discussion page previously. 'I strongly urge a re-read and invite ‘confreres’ in a constructive spirit for suggestions for WHERE this can now be placed'. In its professional circles alkhemi is considered a pioneer as it prepared the first ever integrated cultural plan for a capital city; also, cultural policy, planning and strategy nowadays is a blossoming field and it should not be only civil servants or technocrats who should know what work/actions are taking place. YOU may not wish to read about the work – but for others it is significant. I was able to have an enlightening and inspiring time reading Wikipedia guidelines. I can see that the subject matter is trapped between two stools (is this the right expression?) and that by the criteria of WP:CORP this article likely slips into the cracks. I recognise that the article could be in another category and maybe merged/moved – to what? Regards, Thomas Thomas1917 00:36, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- The two mjor criteria for wikipedia inclusion are wikipedia:Verifiability and wikipedia:No original research (and of course, notability, i.e., why would people want to read the article). However well you rewrite the article, there will be no reason to believe what you say. No reputable third-party references - no artcile. mikka (t) 00:52, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete after re-reading the article: subject matter not notable, sounds like advertising. It's not only about verifiability and no-original-research, it's also just the plain question whether the subject matters, and this does not - it sounds really like advertising. Peter S. 15:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Attempting to pass off a single company as a "business practice." Just slick self-promotion. Marskell 10:14, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep It is a fair point by Peter and Mika about why people would want to read the article! I disagree because there are many people who have been impacted by the work and information like this would be consulted if those interested could find it. At this point it is a shame that maybe people with expertise or interest in cultural management are not going to contribute to the discussion as I am not sure it would be ‘right’ to eliminate the page. I realise colleagues have not been able to see links for verifiability from reputable third-parties, so here are they. www.minority-report.dk www.exart.dk www.lld.dk, molodiez.org, www.nkdale.no. alkhemi/aladin’s work in creating the cultural strategy for London can be verified here; these links are from the government. www.london.gov.uk www.london.gov.uk www.london.gov.uk www.london.gov.uk www.london.gov.uk I also realise it is definitely in the ‘wrong’ section as many comments question whether alkhemi conforms to Wiki business criteria for inclusion. Thomas Thomas1917 10:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Interested parties may also wish to look at aladin, an article concerning the founder of this company. (No comment is implied about the relevancy of this page, but the aladin article has been extensively (and very competently) rewritten and still sounds like a puff peice.) It may throw light upon this page. Eaglizard 14:57, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- After reading aladin, I'm puzzled: are you implying that this article is a hoax, or that alkhemi was aladin's business before he decided to become an entertainer? -- llywrch 17:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. From this article (alkhemi): "Its standing in these particular fields is related to the successes its current leading light aladin had as a prime mover in London government between 2000-2004...". It's the same guy / company. Eaglizard 03:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Very good point. I looks like Aladin is not notable neither: His credits are: Rarely performs, had some job for the city of London, is in a book that titled "the book of cool". The article, like Alkhemi, has probably been set up to gain exposure through wikipedia. I would definitely support a delete vote on that one as well. By the way: is there a way to prevent vote-stuffing by a determined individual who just creates a big mass of accounts? Because in those discussions I had, it felt like the author of those two articles is just crazy enough to even do that. Just a feeling. Peter S. 23:30, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  - No, the only way to 'prevent' it is to pay attention to who votes, and what their edit history has been. The Admins apparently do a pretty fair job of it, too. Eaglizard 03:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
I can see that it was best for no page by this title; these discussions are problematic. It is of parochial interest (to Wikipedia enthusiasts) whether ‘alkhemi’ is listed. Of wider concern is the nature of comments, which border on the defamatory or libellous. But I am sure ‘alkhemi’ will persist for longer than the exchanges here! The knowledge of its work may not impinge this, online context but resonates in the ‘real’ world and last year in 2004 I was fortunate, even privileged, to view some of it in Arhus. I join with Thomas in wishing that the page is ‘kept’ while not endorsing some of the views expressed hereDelarouism 12:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
On reviewing the various discussions I greatly regret having contributed. This page should be deleted immediately. It’s existence is giving rise to ‘ad hominem’ and uncalled for comments and is serving to give unwarranted importance to those making these. Delarouism 15:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with the spirit of your concerns, but if we deleted every page that gave rise to ad hominem attacks we wouldn't have very many left! Hell, would we have any? lol Eaglizard 19:27, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  - If the interested person instead of being paranoid addressed the major concerns expressed here, the article would live happily ever after. Acting offended means there is nothing more to do to defend the article. mikka (t) 19:41, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. per nom & agree with Uncle G review of links asserting notability. If such a notable corporation, why no mention in business press, etc. Maybe a startup company that will get an article eventually, but looks nn. at this point.—Gaff ^ταλκ 02:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Just some quick points. It seems there is a need for a new page about cultural strategy or cultural planning and then these additional organisations can be noted: Charles Landry and http://www.comedia.org.uk/ , Mik Flood and Strategies for Art and Space and also Richard Crossland at http://www.ablconsulting.com . alkhemi is known very well to all of these and its principal of course ‘inaugurated’ the first ever integrated capital city cultural plan/strategy so it would easily be ‘fitted in’ in this context. Worldwide British experts are the leaders in this field as the arts and culture portfolio has been at cabinet level for a long time in their country. Although akhemi does not have the apparent corporate infrastructure of its colleagues it is unique and highly reputable in the field. Which is why the Nordic governments constantly invite its intervention and why in Denmark we know of it Delarouism 12:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, be bold - go ahead and write a small article. Account for all sides, don't dwell on the players or make it sound like an ad, but focus on the concept and why cultural strategy / cultural planning has done a difference to a lot of people. If it's an important subject, it might very well become a good article. If not, the wikipedians will give some small hints :-) Keep your head up, if you have some information to share that is truly interesting to lots of people, please go ahead and try it out. Cheers!

'Weak Transwiki' to Wiktionary. Whether the word is an "acceptable" name for a phobia or not (and I note Triskaidekaphobia has a perfectly respectable article) this is no more than a dicdef with a picture of some peanut butter.

Or better, Speedy Merge and Redirect to -phobia which already has a list. Pognophobia (fear of beards) is a good precedent, and -phobia already contains the wise words:

In many cases people have coined these words as neologisms, and only a few of them occur in the medical literature. In many cases, the naming of phobias has become a word game.' Tonywalton | Talk 22:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Why better? neologisms are out; it is a well-established rule of wikipedia. No reason to collect nonnotable stuff. Notability is a must for everything in wikipedia. Also wikipedia is not a dictionary. These phobias even do not grade for a technical slang, which would warrant a glossary, like Glossary of ballet terms. mikka (t) 01:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

I see... well, feel free to delete everything I've made here.

I'm sorry, congratulations for your work but I just can't avoid feeling dissappointed and offended, maybe I'm not an icon of the media, possibly because in my country people don't actually pay attention to these art manifestations (Venezuela), instead of other countries in Europe, where every musician will get their right attention. But my intention was precisely to make my works available to the international public, willing people to listen to me, to know who I am, that was all, I'm not even willing to make money with my music, maybe a little bunch of bucks to buy good software, but not to make a pool full of green, useless paper.

So, the more you have the more you will get, the less you have the less you will get. Whenever you want, please take a listen to my music, maybe it isn't the best thing in the world, but just let me know if you like it and reconsider the idea. I understand your point but I guess you know how I feel.

Best regards, anyway.

Delete — This page could become a worthy article. The role of Assyrians in Iraq's future is certainly an encyclopaedic article, and not neccessarily crystal-ball gazing. However, given that almost all other articles about Assyrians have been defaced with POV rantings, this article isn't going to become a shining beacon for Wikipedia anytime soon. If it were to be improved, what is already there would have to be thrown out first anyway.

I don't understand why is it being considered for deletion, or why isn't it notable. Please let me know what can I do to make it notable under your considerations, I believe this is unfair, I was only trying to share my work of art through this excellent source of knowledge such as wikipedia, but there is no major thing to talk about, I believe everything is in the music. Please reconsider the idea. Thanks. (preceding comment by Gorepriest, copied here from this AfD's talk page.) --Ashenai (talk) 10:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hello Gorepriest, thanks for commenting. We're not trying to attack you or your music; we're just trying to keep Wikipedia encyclopedic, which means that stuff that isn't well-known doesn't really belong here. Please see WP:MUSIC for our music inclusion guidelines. I quite agree with you that a lot of popular music is terrible, and there's a lot of barely-known, but great, music out there. However, Wikipedia just isn't the place to share your art (unless it's already well known). I'm truly sorry, because you seem like a polite and considerate person. Do keep editing Wikipedia, and please don't take this AfD discussion as a personal attack. --Ashenai (talk) 10:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ashenai hits the nail right on the head, Gorepriest. Wikipedia is all about what people know. It is not an advertising billboard for stuff that nobody but its creator knows about. What you can do to make your music notable does not involve Wikipedia at all. You can persuade other people to listen to, to buy, and to write about your music. Wikipedia is not a shortcut around this process. Uncle G 11:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe Wikipedia doesn't see its role as a dictionary or a slang guide, but I assure you, no dictionary I know of on the net has these terms organized this way, and most slang dictionaries I've see are pathetic. For one thing, no one organizes terms by topic. I stumbled across this looking for a way to translate a pun in a piece of literature. By the way, I'm particularly impressed that the list included the Lithuanian word for a penis. Maybe Wikipedia needs to start up another portal on language? ---- brunhilda

Um, yeah, I think it's called Wiktionary, and if you ask me, that's where "terms" belong, perhaps categorized to duplicate the function being served here in apparent violation of policy. (See also my previous argument on the matter. --Kgf0 03:07, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirect, probably to zillion per Uncle G; of the first page of Google results, the first one is a typo for "Brazilian", but the other 9 are references to the joke. Haeleth 19:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
It's probably from this joke:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in his hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”

Delete as unverifiable unless evidence to the contrary is presented before expiration of AfD. Do not create a redirect, this is not a plausible misspelling of "Brazilian." This is just a dumb prank (it does not rise to the level of "hoax.") Dpbsmith (talk) 23:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC) P. S. I think the point of the above joke is that bazillion, unlike brazillion, is a real (if unlexicographic) word, meaning a humongous, astronomically large number, and that the President has misinterpreted "Brazilian" because of it's similarity to "bazillion."

[edit] Comparison of C Sharp to Java

Where do I start? (WP:NOT)... Original thought/research.... Wikipedia is not a manual. I think there are more possible reasons for deletion but that'll do for now chowells 19:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. One of the main critisisms of C# has been that it's too similar to Java. A page like this is useful to point out differences. It also does not seem much different than other articles within Category:Programming language comparison --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 22:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment similar pages is not justification for keeping this one -- maybe they should be up on AfD too. chowells 23:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

But those pages aren't on AfD, and that fact does set a certain type of precident. My feeling is that those pages are not flukes or outliers, but instead represent the state of technical comparisons on Wikipedia, and could be used as informal standards. Tbjablin 00:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Could you please clarify your (Chowells's) criticism? This article is not a manual. It does not explain how to accomplish any given task. Similarly, the article is free of original research or thought, there is not disagreement on most of the criticism of the C# and Java, and even those criticisms which are not accepted universally are at least in the public domain of ideas and not the personal grievances of a particular wiki editor. Although formatted differently the article's content is not different from Comparison of Java to C Plus Plus or Comparison of generics to templates, and is certainly more encyclopedic in tone and format than Comparison of operating systems. Tbjablin 22:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment it is inherently non-WP:NPOV. Many of the items under "Advantages of C#" I would consider to be a disadvantage. IMHO it's verging on the definition of propaganda and advocacy in WP:NOT. Other "comparison" pages simply contain tables listing facts, having a page listing "advantages" and "disadvantages" is I think going too far chowells 23:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I have reorganized the information in line with Haeleth's suggestion. Any thoughts? Tbjablin 00:10, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, that's orders of magnitudes better. I therefore withdraw the nomination and suggest Keep chowells 00:41, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep... but rewrite to address the POV issues chowells correctly identifies. Replacing subjective "advantages"/"disadvantages" with objective differences would be a good start. (Other problems include unverifiable generalisations like "better performance in OS-specific tasks".) Haeleth 23:08, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't recall seeing an article in Britannica devoted to people who don't like it. Just as long as this article retains NPOV, I'm all for it, even if I don't always agree with it.

I agree with karmafist. I tried to ask them for some constructive criticism, but they have none. Apparently I was "trolling" using the power of my "hive mind" (and other such personal attacks). With critics like that, we're actually in a pretty good position (they just look - and they are! - unreasonable). For instance, they criticise us for being in the top 10 of clusty.com (Daniel Brandt's recommended search engine) - surely they should be criticising the search engine and not us? - Ta bu shi da yu 21:12, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Wikipedia:Criticism of Wikipedia. Thgis would make far more sense in the project namespace than in article space. Grutness...wha? 05:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

There is a certainly logic to what Grutness says, and from a purely logical point of view, I think he's right. On the other hand, hiding critisism of oneself out of the public view is the Wrong Thing to do. --RoySmith 14:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Um. Are you suggesting that our only real reason for wanting to keep the article as-is is to stave off being criticized by criticizing ourselves first, and that it's only by being (at least to some extent) illogical and irrational, only by treating this article preferentially and being biased enough to deal differently with this article than we would with any other article, that we can possibly argue for this article's existence? That's nonsense, I'd argue the same for any Criticism article about a major subject that has had a large number of significant criticisms. We already have a page called Wikipedia:Criticisms, which is a page for the purpose of Wikipedia editors to read over, discuss, and try to address relevant critiques of Wikipedia. The purpose of this article, on the other hand, is for our readers. Many people will no doubt be interested and fascinated to see some of the main criticisms of Wikipedia (and the significant responses)—all the more so, yes, because the page happens to be on Wikipedia, but even if it wasn't, the topic's significant enough that we shouldn't attack such a well-written article. We should do the same thing we do with any other article: try to improve it, fix its biases, bring it up to shape. Endless VfDs don't improve the article, they just lead to us spending more time arguing back and forth, back and forth, then actually working on the article itself (which is, in fact, the case with this article, from what I can see). -Silence 22:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

On the theory that abuses of WP, and the resultant criticisms, are not prominent or newsworthy? I have to disagree. The Siegenthaler thing was on the front page of the New York Times Week in Review section this week, quite a promiment placement. Clearly, this should be front and center, not something for insiders. It is simply too big to pour into Wikipedia. Seems to me like the consensus here is dead-on. BYT 20:18, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

  - To be fair, criticism of Wikipedia IS vastly less important than criticisms of Communism, Microsoft and Internet Explorer, and I'm pretty sure Firefox has it beat in overall importance too. No need to raise ourselves on a pedestal here. --Agamemnon2 08:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  - Merging is the wrong answer. Making the scope of the article neutral is the right answer. And, indeed, Criticisms of communism is an example of the sort of perennial neutrality dispute that results from "Criticism of X" articles with a non-neutral scope. See below.

Clean Up and Merge into Wikipedia --Arm 13:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

I'm sick of seeing this thing, frankly. I disagree with this and all other pages titled Criticism of X; I would much rather like to see Evaluations of X or perhaps Critical evaluations of X. Doesn't anybody wonder why we don't have Praise of X or Positive opinions on X articles? Articles like these are ways to exile negative POVs to places where they can do less damage. That has some value, but it's still a poor compromise of our NPOV policy. Opposing viewpoints should be integrated, not separated. These articles attract huge amounts of unverifiable statements and irrelevant fluff as a result of their unquestioning titles.
That said, I suppose this is just an issue of practicality that is not going to resolve any time soon. Until and if I can finally find the strength to rewrite this thing into Evaluations of Wikipedia and hope it's so great that nobody wants to undo it, I'll leave it alone.

IMHO, "Critics" can be quite positive. Unless you mean "Criticasting", which you are doing now, if you ask me (not that anyone did) Nazgjunk - - Signing is ^{for Whimps} 16:27, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

With a dictionary in hand, you may be perfectly correct. Looking at the content of these pages, though, it's clear that most editors do not in fact have a dictionary in hand when editing. "Criticism" is a strongly negative term, regardless of what it can mean or ought to mean in a scholarly context. JRM · Talk 17:26, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

The distinction doesn't run exactly like that, please stuff the scholarly context back in the closet. "Criticism" and "critic" can be quite neutral, and with words like "bible", "literary", "movie", "theatre", or such in front of them, they are. "Literary criticism" is book reviewing, and "biblical criticism" is about analyzing the bible, not about pointing out weaknesses in it. But "Criticism of X" is negative regardless of context. "Criticism of the bible" would mean pointing out perceived weaknesses in the bible. Therefore, assuming nobody would want to coin a horror like "Wikipedian criticism", a neutral article would indeed need to be called something like "Critical evaluations of Wikipedia". Bishonen | talk 23:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
AFD is not the place for solving the problem with this article, since doing so doesn't involve deletion at all.
See the main discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content_forking#.22Criticism.28s.29_of_....22.

JRM is exactly right. "Criticism of X" pages are inherently non-neutral, since they only present one side of a debate, contrary to our policy. They are a short route to perennial and unresolvable neutrality disputes. Criticism of Christianity, Criticism of Islam, Criticism of Mormonism, Criticisms of communism, and Criticism of Hinduism all sport neutrality disputes, all because either the scope of the article implies that the only discussion of the subject that exists is negative or the scope of the article inherently advocates the negative point of view. As I wrote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arguments for the existence of Bigfoot, the way to resolve this problem is to have a single article that encompasses the entire debate, but this is not a matter for AFD, since deletion is not required in order to achieve this. Just rename or merge the article to a neutral title and expand its scope.

This should have been discussed on Talk:Criticism of Wikipedia as a simple renaming/merger and refactoring proposal and taken to Wikipedia:Requests for comment if there wasn't enough input. Uncle G 17:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with that last remark. Which is why I in fact have done this once already. Neither the talk page nor an RFC had any effect, and I strongly suspect nothing short of actually going ahead with the rewrite will. But that's only going to stick if you produce a brilliant article from the start, since otherwise people are going to say you're "acting unilaterally" and "against consensus", which in this case just means you're violating the status quo, and people don't like that. It's pretty hopeless, really. JRM · Talk 17:34, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I disagree that "criticism of..." pages are inherently non-neutral. The way to make them neutral, obviously, is to list all the noteworthy criticisms (citing them all), and then to list noteworthy rebuttals to all of those criticisms where they exist (citing them all), and counter-rebuttals if those are noteworthy, etc. "Criticism of..." articles aren't just a place for criticism, they're a place about criticism—the history of criticism of communism, for example, or Christianity, would belong in those articles, not just the criticism itself. The fact that an article is too POVed currently does not mean that the topic is inherently POVed. In this case, all it means is that it's unusually difficult to get the article NPOV—though far from impossible, since many of the "Criticism of..." articles (including this one) don't have NPOV stickers on them. Separating Criticism into its own article is only a "POV fork" if (1) no criticism is mentioned as well on the article's main page, even where appropriate, and (2) no responses to criticism are allowed on the criticism page. Those two requirements may not be satisfied quite yet for some of the pages, but they certainly can be in the future. -Silence 19:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

That's a nice idea in theory (and I do not believe in "inherently non-neutral" articles either), but the point-counterpoint style is not a very good instance of NPOV either. I am not convinced that criticism of any topic (as opposed to critical evaluations, which is not quite the same thing) should be separated, when endorsement, encouragement or neutral reactions never get split off. In most cases the criticism of a topic is not interesting in and of itself, but in context of the topic. The present structure encourages articles of the form "Topic. X, Y and Z. Oh, but Criticism of Topic." "Criticism of Topic. X is bogus, Y is bogus, Z is bogus." It should be "Topic. X, but maybe X is bogus. Y, but maybe Y is bogus. Z, but maybe Z is bogus." The individual parts can get separate articles again, but it should be unusual and undesirable for (unqualified) criticism to be a topic in and of itself. It makes things unnecessarily hard and obscures the broad picture. It's an easy way to split up an article, but I'd argue it's a suboptimal one. JRM · Talk 19:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

A number of the articles caught up in previous edit wars -- especially religious articles -- seemed to settle down after a "Criticism of..." section was created. (Examples: Criticism of Prem Rawat, Scientology controversy.) The reasoning here seemed to satisfy both the proponents and opponents of the "critics" of these groups. Those who wanted to place negative information about the groups were generally content that they were able to keep their information and links in the spotlight, with prominent links to their article on the main page; meanwhile, supporters of the groups in question were largely free to add their own information to the main page while letting the critics have their say in the "criticism" article. --Modemac 13:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't dispute that this will help stop edit wars for controversial topics. It is a compromise, a truce of sorts, a way to prevent you from having to face the harsh and complex demands of NPOV. Splitting up an article in an unbiased/pro part and a contra part is not neutral. Our job is not to keep editors con\tent, but to provide an integral story to our readers. Basically, NPOV is hard, tough noogies. Why not Criticism of George W. Bush? Sure would cool some edit wars. No. That's Wikinfo's modus operandi, not ours. By doing this we give up, saying "maybe NPOV is just impossible/not worth it".

And besides—we're talking Wikipedia here, not religion. Do we really think Wikipedia editors will be unable to exercise restraint when faced with criticism of "their" encyclopedia? I value us a little higher than that, really. JRM · Talk 01:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Like in religion, some will be able to exercise restraint and others will not. I'll have you know I'm a "religious" person. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:11, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

And we have plenty of Bush supporters too, I wager. My comment was not directed at particular groups or individuals. I trust my implication that some topics will attract more and more heated conflicts than others is not challenged. Wikipedia is special because it's personal too all of us, and because it is, we should respect NPOV even more than for other topics if we want any hope of looking good. JRM · Talk 15:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep as notable: If you drop the middle name, you get 139,000 hits, and most people that have middle names, rarely use those. The Wikipedia rules for keeping an article about an individual are only that they have been written about in two major publications, if I remember, and in this case this man has been not only in countless news articles around the world for many decades, even this year, almost two decades after his death, he has been talked and picture shown on national and international TV programmes, such as CBS 60 Minutes II. However, I admit that the article needs more work, and just pieced that together to get the article started in earnest. I don't know how an article about Pedley in any way pushes the DOM. Johnski 03:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep per Johnski. "used to push DOM"? POV error exists only if permitted by editors. Put an NPOV tag on the articles or sections you dispute, or edit them to fix them. POV errors don't make a subject a less valid topic for an encyclopedia, although they clearly reduce the quality of the articles they exist in. Unfocused 03:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- I rewrote the article, though I will say that in my opinion it is pretty bad form to post such an obviously POV cut and paste job in lieu of writing an NPOV article. I removed all the information about Ben David... this isn't his article... as well as some of the unimportant biographical details about marriages, etc. I'm going to tag this with "disputed facts" as soon as I can find the tags, because some of the information I have not been able to independantly verify yet.--Isotope23 12:05, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Should also mention that his name is spelled wrong ("EVEN" should be "EVAN" per all accounts).

Comment The previous comment about POV error exsisting only if it is permitted by editors is true. However, when you have one person chronically adding this stuff to over 10 diffrent pages, it becomes a bigger problem then just POV on one page. The editor in question has began a campign to add as many articles as he can as well as add DOM to countless pages to POV push and to try to justify DOM. It has gotten to the point of vandalism through adding and editing pages.

The editor in question also has claimed that there are numerous other people that support his version of the Dominion of Melchazidek article and continues to revert the article up to three times a day. If this isn't POV, then what the heck is? Davidpdx 04:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge NPOV content into Dominion of Melchizedek and delete. This individual has notoriety solely due to his criminal association with Melchizedek, and is best documented in the context of that article. Note that Johnski is strongly suspected of being a member of Melchizedek, and is quite possibly a member of the Pedley family. --Gene_poole 04:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Gene, the reason that I started this page about Pedley was to make the page less cluttered that you want to merge it to. Why do you try to insult me by claiming that you suspect me of being connected to a reputed crime family or the ecclesiastical government they are newsworthy of founding? I don't think this is the first time you got facts wrong, and here again, not that it is pertinent to deletion, I can not find any evidence to support your statement that "this individual has notoriety solely due to his criminal association with Melchizedek". Although Context Magazine says that Pedley founded Melchizedek in the 1950s, in fact, it appears that he died in the 1980's years before Melchizedek became newsworthy because of the allegations against the banks it licensed in the 1990s. Pedley was in the news years before the media began writing about DOM, and apparently the subject of a book called the "Fountain Pen Conspiracy". Just before Melchizedek hit the news, around 1990, the Sacramento, California U.S. Marshall was quoted by the Sacramento Bee as saying that the Pedley case was politically motivated. This to me is pretty interesting stuff. Are you saying that Pedley's translation of the Melchizedek Bible was Pedley's criminal association to DOM, because that is the only association I can find to DOM other than his son following in his footsteps?Johnski 05:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow another bs move by Johnski and unsigned at that. This is from the person who tried to convience me that blogs could be used as a creditable source. Speaking of creditablity, you are shooting yourself in the foot in terms of your creditablity by the statements you make. You purposly lie and misrepresent the rules of Wikipedia to push DOM. In fact, here is the true interpretation of the rule you misquoted:

"An AFD decision is either to "keep" or "delete" the article. AFD discussions which fail to reach rough consensus default to "keep". The AFD decision may also include a strong recommendation for an additional action such as a "merger" or "redirect". In many cases, the decision to "keep" or "delete" may be conditional on the community's acceptance of the additional action. These recommendations do represent the community consensus and also should not be overturned lightly. However, these are actions which can be taken by any editor and do not require "admin powers". If they are challenged, the decision should be discussed and decided on the respective article Talk pages. A second AFD discussion is unnecessary."

You continue to make statements in bad faith and revert things without consensus, why should anyone trust you? Davidpdx 10:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Davidpdx, I'm not asking anyone to trust me, only to write balanced, fair and factual articles. I don't believe that I said that a blog is a credible source only that one can be used in certain circumstances, and I finally admitted that you were correct in regard to the way I used it, which was only in a single case.

Keep but rewrite. A glance at Dominion of Melchizedek proves that Pedley is notable. However, as this article currently reads, he appears to be Yet Another Forgettable Translator of the Bible (tm); only when you get several tedious paragraphs into the quoted text does one find that he is involved in several felony financial crimes.

I'll tell you what, I'll do a rewrite when I get a chance today. The more I look at this, I'm on the fence a bit on notability because while Dominion of Melchizedek has slight notability, I'm not so sure that this notability is necessarily confered on the creator. Still, I will rewrite it NPOV (which is sorely lacking right now) and condense it because I don't believe there is much value in hearing about his marriages, etc. The arrests and convictions are all verifiable, though Pedley claims they were cooked up. Even if this article gets deleted, at the end of the day it's still good practice for NPOVing an article.--Isotope23 11:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep Society create new words everyday. Words don't need to be in a dictionary to be validated. And I've bet many people have combined the word "douche" and "cunt" to form douchecunt to insult, make fun of, or joke people.

- Would it be entirely inappropriate for me to say here that I'm not sure the author is so cool? (Probably, but I'm going to do it anyway.)

Subtrivial Star Wars article. Has absolutely no potential for expansion or merging with other artices. Creating a redirect anywhere I feel would be pointless. Only inbound link is a redirect for 3263827, the compactor's number. Saberwyn 00:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, possibly the most notable garbage compactor in the universe, potential to expand to describe indigenous fauna. Kappa 00:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- There is no potential to expand. In the book, the "indigenous fauna" are described no more specifically than "it", "something", and "whatever". In the film, they are never shown on-screen. Any such expansion would be content created from thin air, which we are not in the business of publishing. Uncle G 01:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- I just read in the Star Wars Encyclopedia that dianoga live there. Surely the Star Wars experts should weigh in on this.—Gaff ^{talk 01:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)}
  - There is no such creature mentioned in either book or film. And that encyclopaedia article, like this one, gives a unit number that is not in either the book or the film script. One doesn't need to be a Star Wars expert in order to read the few pages of the book necessary to verify this. I've given the page number. ☺ Uncle G 02:23, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
    - This number, however is present in the film; it seems like it might have been an improvisation (either by Hamill or Lucas). - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
    - It is also present on the recorded LP from back in the day. The film script and the book cannot be taken as strict Star Wars canon. But anyway, still seems like insignificant trivia not worth the time of debate on AfD. I agree with merging it to either Death Star or Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.—Gaff ^ταλκ 04:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

DELETE. This article has a low chance of being expanded to anything other than a stub. It was already well-covered in the article at Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and, being the minor detail that it is, does not need an article "just becuase it is Star Wars".

Dianoga are large garbage parasites resembling squid, capable of growing up to 10m in length and are also called garbage squid. They originated on planet Vodran, but can now be found anywhere trash and sewage are, living off of any present organic matter. They are primarily scavengers, and only pose a threat when starving.

[edit] Had Verheijen Painter

Non-notable artist. I can't verify his notability and he gets 9 Google hits. The article reads like a vanity article. Tempshill 20:31, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete vanity/advertising chowells 20:50, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

When Vincent van Gogh was alive, no one ever heard of him and nobody liked his paintings. Had Verheijen is a professional painter who has to make a living of his works. He is a perfectionist in everything he does. The inclusion is no vanity/advertising but a place the artist deserves due to the high quality of his works. And who are we to judge, a present non-notable artist is maybe a famous one in the near future. Art is art. Willem Tijssen (webmaster and author article)

With respect to the author, (and the artist) art is art, and a lot of art doesn't make it to the Encyclopedia. 'Vanity' seems like a harsh word, but it is meant in the context that this article does much more to promote the artist than it does to justify his fame/infame (which is basically what a 'pedia tries to do.) I think van Gogh would have understood. Delete. freshgavin ^TALK 05:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks freshgavin. I studied Van Gogh a bit while developing the Internet site on the life of Jelle Taeke de Boer and I am sure if Vincent could read this he would try to cut of his other ear as well. If appropriate I can delete the painting photos from Had's site to keep it very modest. Willem Tijssen. By the way, how come I can not find any references on you? Wikipedia does not yet have a User page called Freshgavin!

[edit] Katherine Kenyon

This young actress has done some school and local theatre, but doesn't seem to have had much impact outside of her area. According to the article, she's had a mention in The Stage, but I'm not sure how unusual that is. Joyous (talk) 23:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Local theatre? High school? Based on the article she's not notable, and the "national fame" claim seems a bit of a reach. --JJay 00:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Katherine is acknowledged well outside of her local and her article in the stage has brought her representation by a prominant Lonodon agency. Thus, though her professional career has yet to take off due to her school commitments, she is marked to become one of Britain's leading actresses. Please consider this before the article's deletion.

Delete. After she becomes "one of Britain's leading actresses" she will get a page. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. -- Corvus 05:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kenneth Christiansen

I’m a little unsure here. I personally have no problem with notable personas adding themselves to wiki as an entry. But this entry strikes me as pure vanity, would be better suited on his user page. This is an entry added by the person in question, himself (the ip traces to Groningen, Netherlands, which is also where he says he is in his blog). Now google does give hits, but they are all of no substance, all entries in Google are basically by himself. I find no external source confirming or even talking about his “fame”. I must say I do believe this is vanity in its pures form. Twthmoses 23:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable vanity article. No case! freshgavin ^TALK 05:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete (still) - This makes me laugh a little. I am sorry for this. Having your “friends” come in a confirm you, well… don’t insult my intelligence. I still don’t see anything, whatsoever, that valid this as an entry in an encyclopedia. There are 10-of-millions of people like you. GNOME developer, GNOME membership, doing a little language, studied at DIKU and Groningen university... ok that narratives it down to, I don’t know, say 100 million people, the likes of you. What have you done? Have you been in the news?, on TV?, are you the man in the GNOME universe? Have you written a book?, build something notable? Invented something? What is you claim to fame that sets you apart from the other 100 million like you? I’m sorry this is not personally, but my initial assessment still stands and any doubt I might have had initially has now vanished but the sheer drive to try to confirm notability displayed here, undoubtful by the person himself, and still nothing of any substance has emerged.

Reluctantly delete; appears to fail guidelines laid out at WP:BIO. All his activities are noble and worthy, but mere accretion of minor accomplishments cannot compensate for the lack of any one truly notable achievement. He looks like the sort likely to go on to great things, so maybe we can look forward to seeing a viable article on him here in a few years? Haeleth 17:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Undecided Hmm, I think GNOME would have been a lot further if they had 100 million developers =) Also, I would say mastering Low Saxon is something, if he indeed does that. I am sure you can count the number of foreigners who speak Low Saxon on one hand. --Daniel Kim

Hmm… another new user, who’s first and only act (so far), is to respond to this thread. Hmm funny. Anyway. Try to understand this. I did not mean that there are 100 million GNOME programmers /Developers, I mean there is easy 100 million that is equal unique in their field of work / interest. It is no problem factoring any person down to uniqueness. I speak Danish, there are not 10 million people in the world that does that. I speak Funen; we are under the 500.000 mark now. I’ve stood at the top of the Great Ziggurat of UR in Iraq. There are probably not even 50 people in the world with these 3 simple criteria combined. Am I unique enough now? Unfortunately it is not uniqueness that counts, it is notability. Twthmoses 20:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Let me just throw in a few words now this is about me. Me and a friend one day looks on wikipedia and finds people that I know listed like for instance Dave Camp, and my friend asks if he can add me and I say yes. A few days later he actually does so, me knowing as he asks me for specific data. The page is soon marked for deletion and some kind of conspiracy starts. If it doesn't live up to the guidelines, it should not be here, agree. Haeleth put this very well in a non-discriminating way, thanks. When people write to me in the tone you do, it is not so weird that I get shocked and show the conversation to some of my friends, who then happen to reply. No big conspiracy here. Cheers, Kenneth.

Comment from SCunningham
I can confirm that the description fits with the person I know. I don't know about all the details but I can confirm that he at least speaks the languages mentioned and i can say that is all true. (scunningham@terra.com.br)

Comment from the author of the page

O.K. I am a close friend (Thijs Boersma - thijs.boersma@gmail.com) of the person in question and made the page for him as he has done a lot of things and we are proud of him. I have mostly worked with him on language related projects, and I know him because he lives in the house next to. These links given here are just to confirm the points given in the article.

Language related:

Reading the this mailing list it should be clear that he supports minority languages and speaks many as well. http://www.lowlands-l.net http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary
The author Johan Veenstra should be able to confirm him working with him. (http://www.johan-veenstra.nl) - he also links to him on his page
He one of the authors of the ANS spelling for Low Saxon: http://ans.phileon.nl/ (which is used on www.lowlands-l.net various places)
Reading the gnome i18n mailing list it should be clear that he used to be one of the GNOME Translation Project coordinators.
From his webpage it is clear that he writes in various languages.
Making locales for minority languages: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2004-01/msg00019.html
He made a page about languages in the netherlands with his friend Mathieu van Woerkom http://taal.phileon.nl/eng/index.php
Member of the Group that coordinates all translation to Danish of free software (The group was started by him and Keld Simonsen - a guy known for his works with standards and getting æ approved as part of ascii, if I am now wrong): http://www.dansk-gruppen.dk/index.php?ID=37&lang=da

Most language things he did he didn't do online. Do you want me to give you email addresses of people who can confirm? Reinhard Hahn (sassisch@yahoo.com), Abel Darwinkel (a.darwinkel@pbcdrenthe.nl), Mathieu van Woerkom (mathieuvw@gmail.com). I can supply more addresses if needed.

School related:

This link confirms that she studied at DIKU (Institute for computer science at University of Copenhagen) http://www.diku.dk/aktiviteter/20050622-bachelor.pdf
Proof of studying in Germany http://intranet.ifis.uni-passau.de/db/personen?who=Christiansen
The articles on his webpage shows that he studies in Groningen at the university

If you want addresses of people that he has worked with, I can probably get that also.

Comment from Falphonso
Keep. I can confirm some of the points talked about in this profile. I know him personally from his engagement in the Gnome and GNU/Linux communities in different development and translations projects.

http://www.advogato.org/person/kanikus/

I met him several times on differents GNU/Linux related events. I can confirm too about his support of the minority languages.

The result of the debate was confusing, but I think that I hope that I'm not blundering to much if I call this a redirect to energy ball.

Delete as particularly neo neologism. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm thinking keep and expand, but probably rename to energy ball or some such. The article is about all energy balls, fire balls, power balls and the like in fiction and gaming. According to our fireball disambiguation page, we don't have an article for this yet. It's not original research or a neologism. The term kinetite appeared in Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the first novel in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, according to this source. However, energy ball is a more common name.-LtNOWIS 18:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of best-selling music artists

Strong Keep - is a great source of discussion and seems a fair mark in the sand
Strong Delete This list is made up
Strong Delete It's been proven that Beatles and Elvis have NOT sold over a billion records, there weren't even a billion of their albums printed. What's Michael Jackson doing way down on the list? He's been known as the biggest selling artist of all-time for a number of years now. This list is so wrong. Street walker 06:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
dream on street walker, your views are biast towards michael jackson and have been more than obvious for a while. Michael Jackson has only been known as the number 1 act ever amoung his fans, NOONE ELSE, it has NOT been proven elvis and the beatles didn't sell a billion. There have been over 3,000 Presley titles in print, The Beatles dominated the charts around the world more than any act ever, both had more sales chart ativity than jackson. GET OVER IT.
Strong Keep Why don't people just try to improve the accuracy, rather than blaming it? This is a collabrative community, isn't it?
Strong Delete Metallica, 10 billion albums sold? Yeah right. And the Beatles aren't even on the list. I think we should do another one like that with certifiable sources and lock it from edition if it is possible. That should be a good idea.
Delete Entirely fake figures from sources that are not accurate. It has become an article of fanboys of bands. Get rid of it!
Keep - useful, if not entirely accurate
Delete Full of inflated figures from shockingly dubious sources. Just look at the reference for Deep Purple's ludicrous claim of 100 million sold. This is a band that hasn't even sold 10 million in the USA. There is no way they sold more in countries where they generally charted worse. Just because some press agent makes a claim doesn't mean it's fact.
Keep it's a useful (though slightly innacutrate)
Delete it's highly innacutrate.
Delete Just go and delete it It's useless
Delete based soley on it claiming the Beatle's are a US group.... Xeno
Delete As stated before, it is biased. Mr Bisciut
Delete. This 'article' is, by far, the worst one on Wikipedia. Frankly, its getting out of hand. The figures are exaggerated and unreliable (there is no worldwide tracking system for sales) the page is vandalised incessantly. Many users take the page as a 'fansite' or forum, and they come here everyday and make false numbers and change the list to suit their artists. Really, what kind of article is this if its so unrealiable, people have to do their own research so that they can check if this article is accurate? At times, I want to revert the vandalism, but the page is so destroyed, I dont know the correct version to revert it to. Journalist (talk · contribs)

Delete ProhibitOnions 14:43:43, 2005-08-18 (UTC) The page is near-useless as a reference, and the fact that it lacks a methodology makes it prone to inflated fan figures, which are highly partisan. Similar non-scientific articles, particularly Biggest-selling female musician (Note: also marked for deletion), which repeats the same exaggerated fan claims, must also be deleted.
Delete as i already mentioned to you on the discussion page there is no reliable "methodology" everything that was suggested by yourself and others was just as faultless, if not more so.

Delete, I say delete it until there's a better way to verify cd sales
Keep. There is no way to verify record sales, estimates are all that is available. -user:Fallout_boy
Abstain. In one sense this article is unfixable. To do it right, you'd have to have reliable worldwide data (doesn't exist), a better wiki table formatting/numbering mechanism (doesn't exist), a real database query mechanism for the stats (doesn't exist), and no vandals (too many exist). Vorash spent tons of time and effort on this list, but eventually he was driven insane and left Wikipedia. On the other hand, even if you delete this article, someone else will create one down the road, and it won't be as good as the one Vorash put together before he left. Minus the vandalism, and with all the necessary qualifications that were given, the article did have some merit, in that it gave an order of magnitude idea of who sold a really lot of records and who didn't sell so much. Sometimes fuzzy data is all you have to work with. Wasted Time R 15:37, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete, There is no way to verify, or know exactly who sold the most CDs, so therefore it is an estimate. Until we can verify it, and know exactly who sold many CDs, this article should be deleted.-User:jfriedman11746

Delete 68.101.51.87
Delete --AVainio 12:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC) Many of the accounts are false. Annie Lennox has sold 50 million? Maybe, but her own webpage states that her two albums have sold 12 million copies. Ok, maybe the 50 million (mentioned in some Live8 materials) could take into account the sales from Eurythmics. If so, why does Eurythmics have 80 million albums sold. That is just one example. These figures will never make sense. Just too little accuracy and too many wild, opinionated guesses thrown around.
Delete --Woodchuck96 No validity, insane numbers, almost no accuracy - all in all, an horrid article which is a shame for Wikipédia.
Delete --Khalif 18:57, 20 August 2005 (UTC) inaccurate figures.
Strong Delete - Besides the American/Euro-centric nature of the artists mentioned, there just aren't many resources to validate the numbers. For example, I remember news of Coldplay selling in the range of 20 million records at the beginning of the year. Just weeks before the release of X&Y, EMI give press releases claiming that the band has now sold 25+ million records. I doubt a band can sell 5 million records (in just 6 months) globally between releases.... in other words, the labels put their own spin on the numbers whenever they need to promote an act. --Madchester 01:26, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, evens sales info from the RIAA is as unreliable as anything, it is not a 100% truth.
Keep - This holds a lot of estimates on artist sales, and the article itself says that the information is suspect. However, this page is still a reliable reference (and is probably the best reference available in the world because the sources are so varied and averaged) People still have a ned to find out whereabouts famous artists are on this list, and there is no other place on the internet where you can find results tabled like this, which regularly get updated. If you're going to delete this, you might as well burn older school atlases "Because they're unreliable", as well as delete a significant amount of wikipedia. Those areas would be places like biblical references (only one reference), theories and death tolls. Wikipedia is a place to pool all the information on the internet, so why not keep it that way? --Mahogany h00r 19:35, August 21, 2005 (GMT+12)
Keep There are no doubt a lot of mistakes on this list. However there will always be mistakes on these kinds of lists. Even recordlabels are often promoting artists by quoting much larger recordsales than the actual numbers to boost sales and make an image. However I think this list is as good as it gets. In adittion to " offical numbers there are also numbers for bootlegrecordings and so on. These kinds of list will never be accurate. However they give an general idea.

I have also noticed that a lot of posters only talks about US sales. This is OK, since it's the only country who has an official statistic. However it does'nt mean that there is'nt a world outside the US with 6 billion people. Just because an artists has sold 2 million in the US, does'nt mean that they haven'nt sold 40 million in the rest of the world.

It is also noted on the list that: In general there is no official organization that certifies worldwide record sales (such as the RIAA does for U.S. record sales). Thus, there are few if any reliable figures to go into this list. Fans, biographers, and record lables may overestimate sales figures for publicity purposes. Many of bestselling artists from Asia, Africa and Latin America are still not included because of the lack of data. Thus, the list cannot be considered definitive, and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

I think that is good enough warnig. If we delete this list, we might as well delete all the bio's as well. Proabably a lot of mistakes there too. Soon we wont have a lexica at all............ ( User: MNorge1978 )

Comment. Careful now, saying that removing this project page will also lead to the deletion of artist bios is a slippery slope argument. Artist pages like Radiohead and Coldplay are all respectable, even with no details of total album sales. --Madchester 15:01, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
~~There is virtually no need to mention sales info in Bio's, not in Wikipedia.~~
Keep I mostly agree with the comments below (I am still laughing about the 5 billion sales proposed for Cher). However, I think it would be better to reach a consensus about what kind of estimations may or may not be used. After all there are albums made gold or diamond regularly, which means that some estimations are indeed accurate. I propose to keep the article, indicate each time what kind of source is used, and reach a consensus about which of these sources are reliable (and delete the entries that are clearly not). User: Nyco
Come off it, there is NO CONSENSUS that is FACT. Just because albums are "certified" for sales, doesn't make it "more reliable". Album certifications rely a lot on what the record label say. Unless someone from the certification company (I.E the RIAA) has PERSONALLY COUNTED every copy of the record, even those statistics should be taken with a pinch of salt and NOT given credit as facts. If the RIAA's figures were so accurate, their certification of sales wouldn't be such a mess, i.e Led Zeppelin suddenly going up from "50 million" to "106 million" since 1990. It's complete fabrication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.1 (talk • contribs) 16:14, 21 August 2005

How would PG's pages be deleted? Again with the slippery slope argument... The only thing that would be deleted would be a link to this project page and perhaps the sales figures on the discography section. Otherwise, the rest of Gabriel's articles contain verifiable facts. --Madchester 18:48, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Most slop is slippery. Vorash did sometimes insert the sales figures he found into the individual artist articles, as well as almost always adding a See also to here, which would now become a red link (and tops on the articles desired to be created list!). Wasted Time R 18:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Delete This page may be too incorrect regarding number of sales. But it has a lot more information in it in a tabular form than number of sales. I would like to have that information somewhere else (with some other topic). Otherwise, their will never be a way to correct the sales.--Anupam Srivastava 21:44, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep Well, I withdraw my delete vote considering the fact that my argument was not strong enough in the first place. Secondly, I agree that since there are so many votes for Keeping it, deletion will only result in recreation of this page, never leading to its improvement.

Delete. No international governing body? No way of determining who has sold the most. Like for the World's tallest structures, there's actually a head honcho called the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat that has set out different categories and rules for building heights. Without some global party overlooking sales figures, those numbers will always be contestable.--LeoTheLion 22:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep A page I've been looking for for ages. I quickly copied it since a unique attempt is submerged in a perfectionist debate. I see a lot of negative votes from readers who apparently overlooked the top page "Note". I propose them to channel that energy into improving the list. Personally, as long as the limitations of the list are clearly stated, and every entry is tracable through source mentions, I can make up my own mind about the degree of exactitude. --Karl1000 00:47, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and see if it can't be protected from vandalism, like Wikipedia's main page. Discussion of changes or updates can be made on the discussion page. Personally, I like the page, despite its (current) obvious flaws. If semi-reliable data can be found for the artists, and the page protected from vandalism and grossly inflated numbers, I see no reason why it can't stay. I'd also like to add that other countries BESIDES the US do keep tallies of record sales, contrary to what someone above stated. Versions of the RIAA exist in many (even most) non-Third World countries, and many do have searchable web-sites.--Firsfron 02:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete because the rankings are unverifyable. Even listings from RIAA (and others) could be challanged - and in any case, duplicating RIAA's listings could raise copyright issues. The best thing to do is write an article discussing the issue of sales rankings and give links to sites with such lists --Ezeu 08:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC) I did vote delete, but now think the article should be a keep - because there are many votes to keep. If removed, we will just have the article being constantly recreated. If they want it, let them have it. Really aint a big deal is it? Not considering all the other crap there is as Wikipedia.--Ezeu 21:15, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- No one is suggesting "duplicating RIAA's listings", and in point of fact since the List of Best-selling Music Artists is a worldwide list, that's not even an issue (RIAA only certifies the US). However, the RIAA sales data can be cited as a source, and even though their data "could be challenged", it usually isn't: these are the officially recognized bodies, after all. At some point, you have to stop believing in conspiracy theories and just go with official estimates. Deleting the entire list because you don't believe the RIAA numbers is kinda like saying "let's delete the Wikipedia articles on the U.S. Census, 'cause I know Philadelphia has more people than that!"--Firsfron 10:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

^{Delete* Totally unaccurate.}
^{Delete* Whoever said the RIAA usually isn't challenged is missing a point. So what if it's not usually challenged The fact remains their data is not solid fact. The RIAA flaws are easy to see in their sales fro Led Zeppelin. Since 1980, if we go by RIAA information this band, who havent had much chart action since then have somehow managed to have kept up in the sales leagues over the years with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Britney Spears, the top selling acts of their time, to keep moving back ahead of them on the all-time sellers list. I also find it funny how after Garth Brooks leaped ahead of Led Zeppelin with a after huge #1 album in 1997, Led Zeppelin suddenly sold enough records to go back up the list ahead of him. What is being suggested is we just take a "say so" figure from the "offical sources" like the RIAA just because they said so. How is that doing what this list is MEANT to do? It's not! Is that what Wikipedia is about? Not listing facts? Unless their is some magical place in America where Led Zeppelin records are selling non stop and billboard are unaware of it, then this proves that the RIAAs figures are just as much fiction as Harry Potter.}

Delete I'm sorry that I first stumbled across this article while the "vote for deletion" tag was removed; in retrospect it appears that I wasted my time trying to fix formatting & sorting errors. Unlike several other voters, the fact that the list is based on estimates doesn't bother me. But in just a few days of observation it's become apparent that this article has become a soapbox for those wishing to promote their favorite artists, and that it can never be protected from vandalism. Engineer Bob 07:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Just because an article is prone to vandalism and inaccurate edits does not mean it should be deleted. Should we delete George W. Bush? His page is vandalized quite often. The Current Events page gets all sorts of inaccurate edits. Should we get rid of it? Wikipedia is a collaborative community, and it has its positives and its negatives. When we see a negative, we should try to make it positive instead of just smashing it.--Fermatprime 02:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete There's no reason to keep this on here if none of it can be proven in any way. Maybe an unnumbered list of artists who may be amongst the best selling, but this? No. Plus, it looks very shoddy and unprofessional.

Strong Delete and first let me echo Cryptic and offer sympathies to the admin who has to sort out this mess. The intro states This is a non-definitive list of best selling recording artists, embracing worldwide singles and album sales. The factual accuracy of this article is disputed as there is no worldwide list of music sales. So, what are we debating here? As far as I can determine there is no neutral body that compiles this information. Right off the bat, this article fails WP:V and WP:NOR. How can you verify any claim that is made in this article if there is no repository if this information to compare claims against? I could edit this article and add Ween to the list with 300 million worldwide record sales. The only way you could factually dispute would be to comb the internet for their sales in each country, add them all together, and post your results, thus violating WP:NOR. Beyond that, all "hard number" information will likely be culled from fan sites (either artist run or 3rd party) and thus has inherent POV problems. In my opinion, there is absolutely no encyclopedic value in an article that is not based on factual information. On a side note, did the original AfD ever conclude? If so, would it be possible to archive the previous AfD so we are not looking at a ton of votes on a finished AfD?--Isotope23 17:26, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. GOOD GOD WOULD YOU ANONYMOUS VOTERS SHUT THE HELL UP? There. Now that I've had a cathartic scream, while there is no definite measure of artist sales it is possible to cite various passable lists that are out there and get a general idea of who the best-selling artists are, with citation of who thinks who is where. It's a valid topic. Lord Bob 17:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

  - Categories are like a box of chocolates: You never know what you are going to get. Users' time isn't important, so if they are looking for a brand from a particular country, they can just keep on clicking until they find it. Kappa 18:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

        At that stage of specificity, I'd suggest "reading the articles". In my opinion, Wikipedia should not cater to the staggeringly lazy in research. Lord Bob 22:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        So someone looking for chocolate in the form of buttons and not bars only has to look through all the chocolate articles for each nationality until they find it. Kappa 22:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

        Comment (no vote). It seems to me that we must weigh precision of search terms against amount of time necessary for the user to achieve such precision. This is precisely why we have both categories and lists, and why in my mind it's good to have both oftentimes -- if they both work well. Users can choose how they want to find the information. However, if a list or a category is ill-named or ill-organized, it's probably not going to be of much use. If both a list and a category are ill-named or ill-organized, well then, we have quite the large problem on our hands! --Jacquelyn Marie 19:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        Lists can be easily reorganized by copy/pasting and redirection, category regorganization requires much manual labor or a bot and and admin to delete empty cats. Kappa 20:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
        
        My basic point is, list and/or category, if it's not properly done it will be of no use to anyone. I'm personally not voting, but if we choose whether to fix one or the other based on how easy it is, well... poor users. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

  - What do you mean? No "guesswork" is involved. Either you read the article, in which case you know what's in it, or you click go to Category:Chocolate, and find them all. If an article title is so poorly chosen that it doesn't convey what the article is about, then it's a bad title and it the article should be moved to a better title or should have redirects created for it.

- But the category doesn't say what things are. Kappa 23:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment There is plenty of precedent for having both categories and lists for things. Plus, this article has been rearranged since it was first submitted to AfD, and now makes several distinctions that the categories do not. I leave it to you to decide if the latter is a good enough reason to keep the list, but redundancy with the category per se is not, per precendent. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:56, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I personally don't see enough here to vote on, either way, as the nomination is highly suspect per WP:CLS, which says, and I quote, "These methods should not be considered to be in competition with each other. Rather, they are most effective when used in synergy, each one complementing the other." If you'd like to offer a reason to delete this article based on its merits and demerits alone, I'd be happy to vote. --Jacquelyn Marie 02:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of sexual slang

List of sexual slang was nominated for deletion on 2005-10-18. The result of the discussion was "keep". For the prior discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of sexual slang/2005-10-18.

This is an 89KB list of slang terms, making it not merely a violation of Section 1.2.3 of WP:NOT, "Wikipedia articles are not a usage guide or a slang and idiom guide", but one of sickeningly gargantuan proportions. The first three paragraphs, the introduction, is the only segment that begins to approach meeting the definition of an encyclopedia article; the remainder, whether it's useful or not (which is irrelevant), is just a list of terms. A list of terms does not belong on Wikipedia. This is not the first nomination. The Literate Engineer 22:16, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep. It is informative, descriptive by comparisons/groupings, and it is extensive (which indeed has its strong and weak points). Further, there is a competing section of WP:NOT, namely 1.5.2, which allows for "structured lists to assist with the organisation of articles". Since many of the terms on the page indeed have their own articles, it is useful for encyclopedic purposes to group and compare them, and this indeed assists with the organization of articles. Also, just because it is long is not an excuse to delete an article, but rather should be an impetus to break it up into separate articles. There's no denying that neologisms and cruft have crept into this article, but that fact demands that more contributors participate in handling verification of such terms. Last, I have to protest this "nomination bombardment", where a consensus wasn't arrived at the first time, so the argument losers try again. This also happened with Body parts slang, and its deletion resulted in a very informative article being wiped off with a slight majority that could not have been reasonably construed as a consensus. — Stevie is the man! ^{Talk | Work} 22:36, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep why is no reason given for re-nomination? It was voted on like 2 weeks ago with a quite high ratio of keeps. Anyway like it or not there are lots of lists of jargon/slang/technical terms on Wikipedia, for example List of baseball jargon. As long as they're well organized and useful, I don't see the problem. It's just when the subject is sex or something controversial that people start to look for excuses to delete such lists. Until consensus is to delete all slang/jargon/terms lists changes, I can't see deleting just certain ones for subjective personal reasons, under the thin excuse of arguably breaking WP:NOT. --W.marsh 23:39, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

The article should be trimmed, with the large home-grown and mis-placed thesaurus entries replaced with links to WikiSaurus (which, unlike Wikipedia, is a thesaurus — and a multilingual one, at that), and renamed back to sexual slang, where it used to be. This does not require the article to be deleted, but it does require some resolve, and support (in terms of keeping the thesaurus entries from growing again once excised) from the various editors who have expressed their agreement with this. Uncle G 00:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Keep, as per previous AfD result. Bryan 00:38, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep. When it says "Wikipedia articles are not a usage guide or a slang and idiom guide", I think it means that we shouldn't devote an entire article to each and every one of these slang terms. And rightly so. I think having them all quarantined on one page will suffice. I also think that after weeding out a lot of the obviously obscure (and bogus) slang terms, the page should be capped and not strive to become a neverending all-inclusive list of every ridiculous dirty phrase ever conceived. - Wikipediatrix 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Speedy keep. Previous AFD isn't even a month old and the vote was to keep. That's enough for me right there. 23skidoo 01:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I am one of the few editors who ever tries to maintain this list, by removning the most obvious vandalism and nonsense. It is unmaintainable and unverifiable because there are no sources (except "South Park", apparently). Anyone voting to "keep" should be prepared to do participate in the trimming that everyone calls for. (That said, this is an irregelular AfD). -Willmcw 07:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Per last nomination, if you want to renominate something which yielded a clear "keep", you must have a very good reason for doing so. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Very weak keep — as I understand it, the "slang guide" was intended to address how slang is used, not the slang itself. But yes, I'm not sure what useful encyclopedic purpose this list provides, other than perhaps as a future reference. — RJH 15:41, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Merge, redirect, and then delete — I was the originator of what is now stored as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of sexual slang/2005-10-18, where my rationalle was WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a dictionary (#3 A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide), WP:V, WP:NOR. I apologize for the length of my comment; however, I feel it is necessary to address the various issues involved in this renomination. My original nomination was timed specifically to coincide with discussion then ongoing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Body parts slang 2; in reference accusations of nomination bombardment, I feel that it is appropriate that similar nominations be made concurrently, both to focus the attention of those having opinions on the issue, and to forestall, in some measure, the inevitable claims that the existance of one policy violation supports the existance of another (i.e., if Body parts slang exists, then List of sexual slang should also exist, and vice versa) as were proffered this time by W.marsh. Given the number of people who would agree with the statement "'List of' considered harmful," real nomination bombardment would be stuffing an AFD day with every "List of" article on the site - and that would be harmful, IMHO. Further, the circular logic of using one policy violation to support another at best puts precedent over policy, an idea I think would seriously degrade Wikipedia over time. After all, there's precedent for vanity pages too, and we AFD them, even though at any given time there are plenty of others continuing to exist. That said, I have to agree in part with Stevie is the man! when he claims that Body Parts may not have had proper consensus; if he feels that strongly about it, I would direct him to Deletion Review. Similarly, I am disappointed that this nomination was made so soon, as this diminishes the odds that it will ever be removed - we can't simply renominate every three weeks until we "win," and apparant out-of-process nominations will garner more Keep votes, as exemplified by 23skidoo. Nevertheless, in the end, this article has numerous problems that speak in favor of, at worst, deletion and, at best, Merge as appropriate (the text of the intro and significant, verified terms to Sexual slang per Uncle G, the remaining verifiable terms to WikiSaurus), and I suppose that is constructively my vote here, even if it means my Disciplined Deletionist credentials are revoked. I wish I could spend more time policing the article; OTOH, I would also like to keep my job, and spending time on that particular page is not likely to help me there. FWIW, I think a move to Sexual slang should, at a minimum, keep the neologisms and protologisms to a comparative minimum. One thing I'm sure of: if we decide again to keep this article, we need many more people looking at it to ensure that it does not suck; to do otherwise will serve only to undermine the credibility of the project as a whole, and of Wikipedia policy in general. Keeping it under the present title creates the appearance of condoning, if not encouraging, the addition of, well, anything that makes a schoolboy snicker. Finally, I would also point out that, aside from the fact that this particular subject field has more than its fair share of attraction to vandals, my nomination and comments have never had anything to do with its contents per se, because Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors, nor should it be. --Kgf0 23:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I would note that this article has some verifiable content in the begininng, although the list(which violates NOR) drifts off into unencyclopedic nonsense again. The Body Parts Slang article was nothing but a nonesensical list. This really should be categorized into links to Wiktionary, instead of having the list here.Voice of All ^{T|@|Esperanza} 00:28, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was MERGE to (somewhere). The nomination at Talk:Magnolia Crescent says that this is adequately covered in Harry Potter, but it isn't mentioned there (which may, of course, be perfectly adequate coverage!). There is also a very uncertain merger below, but we can't add the material to List of Places since that is just internal links (WP:NOT springs to mind, since it covers internal link'farms' too). So I'm left with deciding to call this a merge without a target in mind, and will simply add a {merge} tag to the article. Someone can redirect it if they like, of course, or try a renomination. -Splash^talk 21:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge It looks like the nominator put his reasons in the talk page instead of here. The place is actually more important than the article makes out. While the fact there is trivial, a number of important events do happen there. That said, there is not enough for where an article listing semi-notable places could be made. List of places in the Harry Potter books appears to just be a collection of links, however. Sonic Mew | talk to me 17:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep This poem is certainly notable. As to being POV, it is a selection of quotes from a single man. I guess then, (tongue in cheek) that would make it his point of view. But seriously, this is an article describing a work of political humor derived from actual quotes of a politician. The fact that a small percentage were only used by "plenty of newspaper articles" and a large scale commercially released book, with I will note no rebuttal from anyone claiming misquotation, makes it a much more accurate piece than most political commentary. And again, let me reiterate that the poem is just that, a creative work, not a reporting. It's prevalence and noteriety as a political humor piece would make it notable enough for inclusion even if it wasn't composed entirely of actual quotes, IMHO. The quest to suppress this seems to me to be imposing POV on the encyclopedia as the article makes no value judgements on Bush, his presidency, or the motives behind the poem, it merely records the existence of a creative work.WAvegetarian 19:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This article was deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neleh Dennis, and has been speedy deleted a few times as recreations. However these speedies were disputed and a request to undelete it was made, and it succeeded. This is a procedural AFD debate. Article is about a Survivor contestant, I am not entirely sure about the notability of such people so no vote from me. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep - For being on hit national/international TV show for almost all of one season, which would qualify her if she had been an actress with comparable air time.

Delete. Being on a game show is hardly enough for notability. — JIP | Talk 10:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- We're not talking about being on the Price-is-right for 10 minutes. We're talking about almost an entire season of a hit prime-time TV show. Now, you're entitled to think that's minor, but please don't lump together different things. This is like being a lead actor of TV show for about the same time. We're not deciding if somebody should be notable, but if *others* have found them to be. This person was written about a fair bit, and followed. Perhaps you don't think they should have been, but they were. Hence, they are notable for our purposes. --rob 10:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I was actually talking about the Survivor thing. Sorry for being unclear. I don't think being on Survivor is enough for notability either. — JIP | Talk 11:48, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
    - OK, thanks for clarifying. Can I ask which variant of notability you're using. Here's some different ones I've seen used around here (usually not explicitly stated). Does one of these fit you, or do you have a different approach:
      1. Notability means somebody is *worthy* of notice. You don't think she's worthy. Wikipedia shouldn't follow others, but decide for itself who is worthy and who is not. Since being a "survivor" doesn't require talent or substantial contribution to humanity, she's not worthy. By this logic, an unnoticed person worthy of notice is a better article than anybody unworthy, regardless how much attention has been paid.
      2. Notability means other respected authorities in the area have noticed her. She has been found notable by others, but they are not "respectable authorities", and don't count.
      3. Notability means she has been widely found to be worthy of notice, by many sources, and those sources include reliable sources of information which could make a verifiable article. Wikipedia must be a follower, and not a leader. By this, I think she qualifies. --rob 20:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I'm sure she's a nice person but she fails to meet my understanding of the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. Reality shows, in my opinion, are mere game shows and contestants are not automatically notable. Being one of the cast is a long way from being the "lead actor" of a TV show. The fact that she was a news reporter is also unpersuasive. Reporters are an important profession but no more deserving of an encyclopedia entry than any other profession. We would not, for example, argue that she would deserve an encyclopedia article if she had been a doctor for a few years. Rossami (talk) 13:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

  - Thanks. Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep as much as I dislike the show its contestants do indeed have notability especially when the contestant in question is the Runner up in the competition. This person like Richard Hatch or Ken Jennings is considered newsworthy enough that national news would respond if something happened to her and that seems a valid establishment of notability to me.

[edit] Nipple-Touch Mini

Delight ... er, I mean Delete. BD2412 ^talk 02:48, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm from Massachusetts and I play this game all the time, even out of the car/ by myself. It's actually quite fun and addicting. It's totally safe and immature, but appropriate, just like most car games. I play with the rule that if driving with girls, they are hands off unless they do it first, then it's fair game. I'm so glad somebody finally wrote about this, I hope it goes a long way. ---Transit.letum Keep. Down here in Texas, at least in my city, this game is fairly popular, and i introduce new people to the game all the time. It's a very friendly game, and it really brings the car together. It makes the car ride more enjoyable and light-hearted. To delete this entry and deny the masses access to this game would be a crime against humanity. ---Johnny

delete. And as if anyone needed me to say, transit, johnnyb and dana all only have a single contribution... to this AfD Mmmbeer 03:26, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Ugh. I was just about to say that I didn't write those. I do know the first person, though. I asked him to help me out. (Can you look at the IP addresses or something? I don't know Johnny...) Sorry guys. Just trying to keep this afloat... --Dana 01:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't Delete! I can't beleive I'm seeing this on Wikipedia! My friends and I used to play this all the time (in the suburbs of Chicago) I had no idea it was so wide spread. This game is great, it creates a great bond between the participants (or a release of sexual tension, depending on who you're playing with). Just because Google hasn't picked it up yet doesn't mean that people aren't playing it. ---Molly

Comment: I'm terribly sorry that my contribution is the same as Transit and Dana, but there's not much else to contribute. It's a game, pure and simple. If you'd like a long and mostly made up essay on the deep philosophy and spirituality surrounding the game, then fine. I'll write one up and e-mail it too you. But honestly, it’s a game, and the only real reason you play car games is to alleviate some of the tediousness of driving, especially long distances. Nipple touch mini, in conjunction with Punch Buggy and Yellow car I win (and The Game where applicable) accomplishes this. There is a severe lack of car games, barring the few you played as a kid, such as the license plate game, or some billboard game, but I honestly feel as though I’ve outgrown those games. I need a game with competition, with several people fighting to get the nipple-touch. It's competitive. Try it, i can almost guarantee you'll love it. NTM is fairly new to my community, probably imported by some college kid on a road trip, but it's a blast. I am honestly astounded that it's so widespread that it's on Wikipedia, it made my day. Even if it is a little too obscure for your tastes, if you leave this up on Wiki, I’m positive that many more people will learn of NTM and fall in love with it's silly, immature charms. After all, isn't this how things grow? Something fun gets posted somewhere. People read it and implement it into their everyday lives, then tells friends. This could become huge, and I think it would be a crying shame to kill it now. After all, it's a lot bigger than either Molly or I thought. Don't stifle a car gaming revolution. ---Johnny

Delete, before the clones multiply anymore. freshgavin ^TALK 05:52, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment: My main concern with this article is verifiability. If this game is played by a small number of people, and no written records of it exist, we don't have any way of knowing that the article is correct, or finding errors. That kind of content isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia. There are a lot of places on the internet where you can tell people about something new and try to raise its popularity, but Wikipedia is trying very hard not to be a promoter so much as a recorder.

It can be difficult for us to tell whether something like this is popular. I hadn't personally heard of it, and I couldn't find any google hits. If you can find internet references or other textual references (perhaps they were using a different name), or some other records of its popularity and existence, that would be a major help in keeping the article. Barring that, there may be more specialized internet sites which have more lenient inclusion requirements. -- Creidieki 06:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I found a Google hit, dated April 2004 here. Since this clearly depends on a couple of fringe pop-culture foundations (the website appears to be related to Howard Stern, & the link refers to The Surreal Life), on one hand I'm not surprised this exists under the radar; on the other hand, I am surprised that, because the stereotype Internet nerd tends to hyperfocus on trivia like this, there aren't a number of Google hits about this odd passtime. Has anyone watched TSL & can verify that the "Nipple-Touch Mini" game was played on this particular episode? If so, then it's a definite keep; if not, then it's either a hoax or clearly not-notable. (And given the attention Wikipedia gets, I'm willing to bet money that in 6 months that this will be a real game unless this article is deleted.) -- llywrch
- The Google hit Llywrch found does not appear to be about this game; the "mini" referred to is not the Mini automobile, but Verne Troyer, the actor who plays "Mini Me" in the Austin Powers movies. Delete the game as unverifiable. --Metropolitan90 00:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment. You're right: the link above is incorrect (thanks for trying, Llywrch; and why didn't anyone else notice this?). It is not, however, unverifiable. There are several people that have verified its existance both above and below this comment. People from both inside the United States (I'm from New Hampshire) and in the United Kingdom have verified the reality this game or its variants. (Which is a good point; I'll add a section on mini-pinch as outlined by Kilo-Lima below.)
Comment. Ah ha! Thank you, Llywrch. Even if we get over-ruled, you're really right about everything else. I hope this gets to at least have a chance... Or maybe keeping it afloat on a BJAODN page would help it last long enough to be undeleted... --Dana 01:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep oh give me a break, if you want a deletion give an actual reason. the amount of things on wikipedia is rediculous and this article, according to the couple people who have mentioned it, is relevant to them. Just because its not to you doesnt mean anything. so give a reason or dont write delete, all the people who voted to keep have valid reasons and don't cite "sock puppets" repeatedly. So I vote to keep it based on the fact that there now is a google hit, and that it is relevant to multiple users as well as their pools of friends. I also would like to state that the person who started this deletion probably did not read the article, because they think that the game is sexual, when it is stated differently in the article. In short you dont delete something just because you think its stupid, if its well written and relevant then let it slide. --Aaron 16:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Aaron, careful not to be too biting with your opinions. I recognize the importance of keeping Wikipedia clean, and I feel that people do an excellent job with it. I do understand the opinions of many of the people that wrote to delete this article. The first user to respond, Creidieki, did read the article and his comment showed me that I needed to be implicit in stating that the game is not sexual (which I did). This user even came back later to support his claims, which is admirable. I also understand why one would think so without playing the game. Since I published this article, I have read up on "sock puppets" and "vanity articles," and now regret asking my friend (transit.letum) to help in our cause. I realize that doing that is against the traditional wiki rules and I didn't mean do start that. Other than that, however, I am not a... sock-puppeteer? This article is real and many people unrelated to me have come to show it. Please take that into consideration, everyone.--Dana 18:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Random phobias

We have to decide this once and for all. You may

take any noun or verb,
translate into (1) Greek or (2) latin or (3) partially translate or (4) do not translate at all
append a '-phobia' and voila! a new article is ready.

Example: hamster ->Mesocricetophobia = "fear of midsize hamsters". Now tell me that there are no people who irrationally hate or fear hamsters!

I suggest to decide right now that any such phobias must be speedily deleted on the spot, unless a reputable source with medical histories is presented. Various unscrupulous websites that sell snake oil for phobias, described in the -phobia article do not count. mikka (t) 20:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete per submitter. Tempshill 20:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Isn't this a policy discussion, rather than an afd? Anyway, Mesocricetophobia gets no Google Hits, [33] while the aricles you submitted today do. If there is a decent merge target, then that would be good. Sonic Mew | talk to me 20:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, it is a real life: a midcase between a policy and an individual case. I doubt that "pseudophobias" require the whole special policy".
- "No hits" is a matter of my persistency. Let me post it into a couple of blogs, with a tragic story how I had three dead hamsters in a row on me so that I started really hating them: my kids cried; I had to carry these sick rodents to a clinic, then lie children that they run away there, &c&c, and I could not stand it any more. And the problem turned out to be in bad gas heater, but it was too late for me... In 2-3 weeks I will get 1,350 google hits.
- You miss the point: the decent target is wiktionary. Basta. mikka (t) 21:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
There is an excellent article at -phobia, with a suitable list at its end. Could we not ~~redirect~~ the individual articles to there, adding to the list if necessary? (It appears common from my rapid, random and unscientific sampling of blue links in the list...) Sliggy 21:23, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- - Please see Talk:-phobia. A nonnotable is nonnotable is nonnotable. The same happens with many lists, such as List of webcomics: an entry there is allowed only if the webcomic is notable enough to survive VfD. mikka (t) 21:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I hadn't thought through the huge number of articles that could be created. I can certainly see a case for the deletion of an article named, say, chukkaphobia, that solely consists of "Chukkaphobia is fear of chukkas" (with or without an image of a chukka). Can WP:CSD A3 (specifically rephrasing) include this? In the worst case the rephrasing is from the Greek or Latin in the article title, to English in the page itself.

Do not delete - this page was started so that others may come in a fill in the blanks. It is intended to be a start and was written by an adult student of this bass player (Harlan) so all info is 100% accurate. The significance is that this person is maybe the only instructor in the DC area who can teach Victor Wooten's double thumb technique. Harlan has indicated that he may soon collaborate with Michael Manring on a CD. Just because Cheng doesn't live in DC doesn't justify the criticism. If Janet Jackson/Backstreet boys/Milli Vanilli grade popularity is the criteria for Wikipedia then good luck!!

Comment: I have no ill will towards Mr Harlan or yourself. Unfortunately, every Tom, Dick, and Harry who is a guitarist or part of a band tries to create an article about themselves on Wikipedia, so we have guidelines as to who gets to stay.

Don't Delete- Excuse me! there is no evidence that the world has accepted this religion at large!?! Just look at the number of members of www.tatu.ru or the ticket sales for t.A.T.u's concerts!!!

The URL www.tatuism.com is not connected to the Tatuism movment. this domain is not in the control of the people who gave birth to this idea. It was said earlier "people are still trying to convert people to their "religion" with flyers and the like." this is not the case. Tatuism is not a religeon yet. Yes our message is being spread but we do not force ourselve upon anyone, we let you decide if you suport the idea. With this said, I think it shouldn't be deleted.

Delete- The debate isn't about the merits or lack thereof of this self-described religion, but its notability and merit as a Wikipedia page. Aside from references to www.tatuism.com, the only Google results I get for a "tatuism" search are references to tatuism.com and these two pages, which have the text of this Wikipedia page almost verbatim. This a clearly a joke from some forum. Send to BJAODN if you want. —Josiah Rowe 23:37, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Don't Delete-They just bought the domain tatuism.com so they're really serious about this. Give it time, Google doesn't pick up links that fast.

Ok all very valid points, but i dont think it should be deleted, Wikipedia is supposed to be a place you can find information on everything, even the obscure. Yes intitally this was just a bit of fun, but to my supprise poeple are taking it to heart. I think it should have its page, and not be deleted simply down to the fact google only comes back with a few references. After all whole thing is just over a week old. and was released to the world via a post on the tatu.ru fourm on the 12th of October 2005. Give it time.

Don't delete...give the idea a chance...as was said before...it's not a religion forced on you...if u like it take it...if you don't then flip the page and walk away...if it's not going to reach the world via wikipedia then i assure you it will find it's way to the world somehow...not only will it have a place here but also it'll earn it...so i say DON'T DELETE

~~Delete~~Keep, Non encyclopedic article that is covered better elsewhere on wikipedia... notably Nativity. Alternately to deletion, this could redirect to Nativity or A Christmas Story.

It seems to me that the person who created this article must have not known the word for nativity, and that's why the article was created in the first place. ~~Would it be too out of line to suggest a disambiguation page here leading to both places?~~ I now second Andrew's idea -- redirect to Christmas because of past precedent. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Just because someone took time to write it doesn't mean that it's encyclopedic. By that logic, I could spend hours writing a long screed about any random topic and you would argue that it should be kept, even though hardly anyone would be interested.

Don't Delete : This article should not be deleted because one considres it "not notable enough" for being from a TV show. Words are symbols, definitions are arbitrary. TV shapes culture. - 24.17.167.103( Moved from the article aka see article history )

[edit] White Rose Movement

A newly formed band that appears to have released just one single; doesn't meet any notability criterion. Hoary 03:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Notability is not a criterion for deletion. Please read the deletion policy. Keep this article. Grace Note 07:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: And non-notability isn't a criterion for deletion either. Yes, I've reread the deletion policy, and I've also read Notability and Music Guidelines. This band doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria listed there. Now, these are of course "merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion". I'm one of these editors. Perhaps you aren't. If you aren't, what rules of thumb do you use? Or to put it another way, what's your reason for a "keep" vote? -- Hoary 08:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - What's my reason for a "keep" vote? I don't think the article should be deleted. It's verifiable and about a real subject. That's enough to be included in the "sum of all human knowledge" in my books. -- Grace Note.
  - And by the way, don't snidely correct my English. If I meant to write "non-notability" I would have done. -- Grace Note.
- Comment: Lack of any assertion of notability is already a speedy deletion criterion where people are concerned, so it's only logical to apply it to groups of people (in this case bands). Instead of arguing notability isn't a criterion, it's better to argue why this particular band should be kept based on its own merits. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I'm not sure why exactly you feel justified in haranguing me. I clearly don't agree that it's better to argue the merits of this particular band, because I think all verifiable bands should be included in Wikipedia. I think "notability" means no more, no less than "I do or don't value this subject" and your valuation is meaningless to me if I do not share your system of value (and you cannot expect all of your potential readers to share it), whereas an objective standard, represented by verifiability, is meaningful.--Grace Note.
    - That seems a reasonable enough point of view, but: (i) I disagree with your interpretation of "notability", as for example I don't value (let's say) Paris Hilton but acknowledge that the media do and for this reason (as well perhaps as others) think that she's notable; (ii) there seems no incompatibility between a demand for verifiability and a demand for notability; and (iii) Notability and Music Guidelines are, well, guidelines for decisions about the worthiness of articles on bands -- guidelines that may be wrong (and that can be challenged by you) but that nevertheless exist. -- Hoary 10:16, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: names are now so silly, and sensationalism is so crass and pervasive, that while I appreciate your PoV I actually find it slightly refreshing that a band would name itself after an anti-Nazi group. Or anyway it beats "New Order", in my very jaded and perhaps underinformed opinion. -- Hoary 02:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

A Google search with phrase Wikilaw -"wikipedia" (to avoid Wikipedia copies) produces no results showing notability, like a special page in MeatBall wiki or discussion about it somewhere. Almost all internal links in Wikilaw front page are green, which means that no-one has written about them yet. No-one has edited the website during the last 30 days [37].

(per "This story is easily verifiable - names, dates, places - everything. True credibility. I am the researcher.") Based on the earlier article (the version when the AfD was added) I still say delete... and in fact I'm reverting back to that article even though it appears the author is the one who changed it, just so voters are at least looking at a version with content.--Isotope23 13:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Anon Comments
I've moved all of the random anon ranting down here since he can't vote anyway due to his newbie status and is disrupting the process with his longwinded jabbering. I've also blocked him until this AfD is over so his disruptive behavior here won't continue.Karmafist 16:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Could you please reconsider about the block? I believe he deserves the benefit of the doubt, and it's quite normal to get upset about an AfD process. The cleanup is useful, and much appreciated, but I feel the block is a bit much. Nominating a person's article for deletion and then silencing him seems a bit unfriendly to me. He's done nothing wrong, after all. --Ashenai (talk) 16:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree. As far as I can tell, he hasn't done anything truly disruptive like removing the AfD notice or changing anyone's votes. Blocking is rather extreme in this case. I have no objection to having the long essays moved to a seperate section, however. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:23, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

No problem. I'll unblock him now. All I want is this page to be free of nonsense, although to clarify, I didn't nominate this article for deletion, even though it's pretty obvious that it should be deleted. Hopefully by now he'll understand that his rants won't be tolerated on here. Karmafist 21:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Remain appreciate the comment about an essay, not an article freshgavin. The input was worthy of something. Maybe can figure it out since am in the newspaper and mag biz and the difference can be important - notable. Then again to be here may not. We'll have an editor try turn it to an Article over the week and see what happens. To "conform." Maybe more a Media Alert than an essay, in short. maybe. But the stockpuppet comment really did prove a point about what this so called "discussion" was / is about. Maybe that fool instead of using the word "ass" in what is supposed to be (thought to be) a credibile arena should do as said in the first Remain response -- go either learn to read or sit back and just keep re-reading Jack and Jill. They would get off on Jack and Jill more. Well at least the Jack part. This is so good. And that person confirmed the credibility of the "remain" response. Those like KF who comment without knowing content. As their own admission of stupidty. Funny if all this becomes music to someone else's eyes somewhere else. Could be a good story here in itself. If it were A Propaganda who would waste their time here. That Karma ... "fist" (nice, wonder where it has been - the fist that is) should surely learn what The Word - karma means. And they just did. About a time and a place. It comes. Now KF can go sit on Swaggart's lap to get the good feel better - or maybe find a Catholic Priest, for little boys - to sit on. Incoherent, hummm MCB can it be the world in fogged glasses they live in is just ... more nonsense. May be. But who is to Judge, right ? Nonsense is not the article in question. But the fogged glassed would explain every thing. Article or essay may be just about POV. A truth in there somewhere. Oh right - I did not see anything in the rules that said when an author or researcher comments in response - they are called stockpuppets. No less other names. And what, the rules said ... don't take it personal ? All must be fooling / kidding one's self. A good example. Another "good read." Was an interesting exchange though. Entertaining. More like instead of a stockpuppet - it was the editor author taking responsibility. Instead of showing yourselves for what you really are you should just edit the page blank except for the 2 words - cover up, and save everyone else lot of trouble. And then like it was said ... those others can go back to reading Jack and Jill. Anyway, "freshgavin" thanks for the intelligent response. Appreciate it. it said ... not everyone learned that AIDS kills from just listening to what their mommy tells them while growing up as there mom was wiping their "ass" for them. Thanks. This was all very interesting. When I see this pedia come up on an engine we'll remember the world's blogs serve the international communities with more. Until we meet again. And of course, we will. Maybe some people should go back to gossip with their schoolmates - would serve themselves in a self serving manner better that way. At least after 20 or 30 years they may learn to read (or use what little between their ears life gave them). Has nothing to do with doing something good for any international community. Oh btw - we have been news people for over 25 years. And History has been written. Right here. Date noted. Well earned. At least gets the blood moving. The brain working. Researcher2 : )
Remain - Opinion - carefully reviewing the rules of participation it states both author and others may comment on the discussion. Reasons for delete are noted to be discussed. If it were title of the article in discussion then it may hold merit to be changed. That is not what we see here above. I would note "non-notable Mingzhi Daisy Yang." Which I do not think the article is about simply just one person. There seems to be many. But the subject in first comment is "non notable". Yet I would ask is that coming - and please do not take this personal -- does that come from one who has done no research regarding facts as they too speak and make comment. The person Yang Mingzhi (asian culture reverses first and last name when addressed outside of America - if you did not know that too) Yang mingzhi does come out of a community as an on air person to a viewership of only 100 million people plus. But is it that since those people are of a different culture and then they need to be discounted into the bin of "non notable". of course, what is a mere 100 million people or a 1.3 billion people or someone involved with that - as a notable person ? Also all the people involved cited in the article, are well known press people in the circles of the elite from one side of the world to the other. If I worked on a farm what would I know ? And these non notables may not be known as you know them as your neighbor next door. Yet maybe they are the neighbor next door that you should know the names of and do not ? Do you know the name of every neighbor on your block or around you block ? One could be Barry Diller but would you know ? Or do you even know who he is ? Just surely another non notable (in real life - modern history and culture, TV culture that in). But no one watches TV right. People who earned a standing in "modern day" human affairs should not be discounted. Based on what was just said, someone might say this opinion is a rant. Especially seeing length. Oh why -- because it takes time to read ? Like a magazine. That is why a magazine comes out monthly -- because it heavy in content -- to be Digested. WHo created Rolling Stone Magazine's Fashion section and department or Spin Magazine's Fashion sectin ans department do you know that ? Another of no merit just a 400 billion dolar industry in America alone, that's all. Maybe I missed the definition of an encyclopedia in Webster's dictionary. Yet again it, the article in question and this opinion is set down with facts, places, dates, people by name, and merit. Is that a rant or just something that does not meet someone's approval or time schedule to ... really ... look into ? Another comment "unsalvagable." It is strange that facts and events of real Human history are unsalvagable, at anytime. Why is that so when what is written are again facts that have been and are happening - also note: with happenings that include over distances of time. As one issue -- of course, not the main issue, is Immigration Marriage fraud, punishable in America by 5 years in jail and/or $250,000 find (according to law set in stone by Congress, Senate, and the Legislature). But you all knew that. Where in this encyclopedia is there made mention that marriage fraud is how "5" of the Atta clan acommplished taking down the world trade center buildings ? Is it when you learn about one history does it not lend light to how it could effect many others ? The comment open to discussion call "nonsense". Since when are facts - real events reduced to someone's opinion of "nonsense" ? How did YOU yourself find out AIDS kills everyone. Did someone's mother tell them ? Just another passing thought. It was that 4 page CDC flyer that was sent into every mailbox in the country spring of 1986. And how do you think it got there, Reagen just gave it up willingly ? We have done a lot of research. What is in the article are "secrets", historical secret - that are only being allow to come to surface in: this millennium , not the last. And you do not live in the last millennium, or do you ? Again is it because it does not meet someone's approval of what knowledge the world should have -- or to take away something that has a possible point it should remain. I never have consided historical facts to be nonsense. Wouldn't you really like to know who killed JFK ? Or a article on that revelation with names and places would be nonsense too. Please do not take this personal or let the hairs stand up on the back of anyone's neck. And when listening to the audio cited in the article, the "wicked page", since when is what someone has said by their own verbal voice (especially a press rep of this proportion) become nonsense again verses a fact of happening and when credibilty in human beings are the overall question. Maybe there is something to be learned from the facts, dates, and places in the article. Maybe something to be learned by many around the world. Oh I guess this response of opinion would be considered still just a "rant" by the commenters because it is not in agreement with the community opinions and is responding. Or just that it is too long to read and take serious. We know many hard working people who like to read - even simply lay people. And take the time to do it. If the story -the article in question- had no merit someone would have just posted it and gone away. Not caring whether it remained or not. Or worse yet - just have it again posted by others - not spammed - but reposted and reposted again and again by people who look to see it remain. Of course this response may be too long for some to read. Again just bushed off as a rant. I wonder how many of the commenters actually went and researched the what was cited in the article before making comment. If they did then they would be able to tell us what the depth of obligations were or what the "I am a Fraud" statement on the Wicked page means in the value of America. Or how an issue can effect millions overall. Unless we have no value. Or socially connected human beings or human events have no value. Or the told sharing of mystery in life has no valuse. IF that is the case then it should be deleted. And to prove the point - others can paste and post the same article. As they would posted it from all over the country. I would not want to have to think this (what some consider honored) community is so narrow in mind that is discounts so many others in the world who see beyond the horizons of a backyard. And since it, the article, is about two known controversial figures - even if seen (by some) as (only) underground figures or under current figures - one would question how events that include Jimmy Swaggart and media giants like SMG can be seen as history non notable - or even underground for that matter. Like I said if the issue was title of article then maybe it should read "Matter of History" - "TheWordofGod.com" "The Travels of." To consider "The Word of God" itself in Book of Revelation and in other written works have been serious business to billions of people for thousands of years. Maybe thousands of years is as we can quickly bush it off as nonnotable too. There are a number of reasons to argue the article should remain -- intellectual reasons also -- but none of them are as short as the one line opinions as those stated (posted) by the "community" above. Not wanting to take up too much of your time because others may enjoy the read, a matter of History is an unencylopedic entry to any page of daily life. Or is it ? And I would argue the article remain. Even if refined. Or then just delete and others can just as easily enter it again and again until this community does see its true merit or does the research to see the merit in full. I worked on this project with others and do not hide behind the cloak of what may be seen as the cloak of others. Anytime anyone wants to question the facts or merit of the actual article -- unless they are merely protecting some political agenda as well as motive - then I can be reached. As others too will raise there voice if it need to be heard over time, which we all have years of. The Researcher 2. MsBarbaraQin@yahoo.com Well, anyway, thanks for listening even if you dismiss this response as a rant. As for a handy excuse. Could have just left it -this discussion - unresponsed to and simply as it was said - reposted the article upon delete. We could go back to first grade and just read "Jack and Jill." That would resolve everything. Or would it ? Researcher2

remain - we could just call the article "Puzzle Pieces" and leave it alone.

Response - of course the author deleted it. One of the authors anyway. Well, not quite deleted - edited most of the body. Would not want anyone unhappy. Would have deleted all but the notice said do not leave "blank", quote: "please do not blank this article or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress." If it was unwanted there, why put it back ? Since according to the uhumm experts it is so "unsavagable." But I see you put it back. So thanks anyway. Funny. (if for nothing else it has made for brisk discussion. As it was said before. Seems to have gotten blood moving.) Maybe there is what LIFE intended ... and that is why it wound up there in the first place. Something in The Word - destiny. Ironic. Maybe those here who created the Universe can say otherwise. Of course. But you'd have to be able to read first. : ) "funny." Strange funny. Not laughing funny. Anyway thanks for putting it back. Looks better there than not. I'll have to tell "him" what is happening later in the day. Sure it will be appreciated. Also funny said "unintelligible." People in the real world (outside of this one) call it "intense" amongst other heavier things. Should we show "input" email received from Canada or somewhere on the other side of the world. Not necessary. The China Press link shows something like that about half way down where the pictures start. We have plenty. Mostly bigtime positive. People don't like people who do bad or fake things to good people. Especially with legs not crossed (as Anne would say). Many have found it clearly intelligible. What do you think, this is the only place it appears ? It is not just on the web you know. Can't be that full of yourself now can you. "Intelligible." Not my opinion. Others have their own mind. We think it is even more. Nice discussion. Does look pretty good being back there in full body, doesn't it -- And it is only day 1 or 2 ? Very interesting. Researcher2

[edit] Yoweri Museveni/Media

It's just an orphaned image gallery containing fair use images. Presumably there was no room in the main article, so they have been stashed on this "secret" subpage. If fair use images are not used in an actual article they should be deleted, not dumped on subpages like this. So I say delete this subpage per WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. --Sherool 13:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The web site claims to sell generic Sildenafil Citrate, but Pfizer holds the patent on it and there is no such thing as a legal generic version. --GraemeL ^(talk) 13:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
