[edit] George Underwood

I have nominated this article for deletion because all the info in it is already in David Bowie and he seems not to be deserving of an article (unless someone wants to add a paragraph or two) --Clawed 13:01, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

If he has any notability as an artist, weak keep, but if none can be found and if this sub-stub is all anyone is willing to devote to him, then delete. 23skidoo 19:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zombie monkey

Seems to be nonsense (tho' not patent nonsense). Looking at the first few pages of hits I didn't see anything encyclopedic; mostly forums and coincidental pairings of the words. It might refer to a video game species--if anyone can figure out which one, maybe a redir is in order. Niteowlneils 00:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

delete coincidental pairings would be my guess as to the number of google hits. Dismas|^(talk) 00:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Probably some sort of D&D monster or some enemy from a computer game, but the article doesn't say.

When you see this kind of self-promotional material, it is more often than not a copyvio, and a quick Google check on portions of the text is advisable, the possibility for a listing on WP:CP should be investigated before the possibility for a listing on AFD, see Uncle G's excellent advice here.

This is a blatant lie. My only vote is below. Akor 21:21, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Longcat contribsoriginally posted the above comment, [2], then modified it, [3]. Then Longcat signed the post manually, but linked to User:Akor, by copying the text of Akor's signature from the edit immediately below Longcat's, and changing the name to Longcat but not the user page link [4]. Unravelling the truth behind the various edits to this debate has been a bit ridiculous, but know that every single edit is recorded, and the truth is open for all to view. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 22:33, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry you had to take the trouble going through all the edits, I would have expected this from NSR who made that claim. However this obviously is an indicator for Longcat's unawareness of the signing function. Also I am sure this can be proven by logged IPs. Akor 23:17, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

delete obviously as forumcruft. There have been a few 4chan articles on afd recently. 4chan users: wikipedia really isn't the right place for articles about memes/people/etc. from 4chan; they're going to get deleted. Why not set up your own 4chanwiki instead? I'm sure it would be quite popular. — brighterorange (talk) 01:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Longcat extends beyong merely the realm of 4chan. Longcat is not exclusive to one site only. I truely believe that there should be an article explaining what Longcat is so that when they here mention of it, they can find information on the subject. It also helps to find information about the legend if one should ever need it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Longcat (talk • contribs) 01:33, September 15, 2005
  - And a little known fact: Longcat is so long that he can dig from Ohio, through the center of the Earth, and just almost reach China, not quite but almost, by about 2 miles lacking. Longcat is, indeed, long. However, I don't think this would be relevant to the article, considering, as far as I know, cats do not burrow like dogs and rabbits do. --I am not good at running 09:43, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

    - I'm not trying to imply that you're a sock, I don't think that you are, only that you're new. There are some who prefer a higher margin of edits to determine suffrage, I'm not sure if that debate ever got settled or not. I'll have to check on that 25 votes thing, I couldnt remember what the stated minimum was when I posted the comment, thanks for reminding me. I'm simply trying to unravel a lot of confusing posts to this discussion, and anytime I have found a user that is not an established editor, I have noted that in this discussion. If you'll note a bit further down, I tagged one other editor similarly to how I tagged your vote, and that editor was voting Delete. I'm not trying to be partisan, only reflect the truth behind every vote to this discussion. In your case, you seem to have enough to count for a bare minimum. The closing admin may not take your edit count into consideration at all. I hope you don't decide to leave Wikipedia. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 16:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

As someone else pointed out, the articles about 2chan memes Giko, Shii-chan, and Mona would, by the logic of many Delete votes here, be even more irrelevant.

*Keep Longcat has become an integral part of the 4Chan community, and seeing as to how 4Chan's /b/ has considerable weight in it's group of peers and counterparts, it's quite safe to say that Longcat will have notable long-term impact that will no doubt be seen beyond 4Chan. --BloodyEggroll 05:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- The ability to vote in AfD discussions is given to Wikipedia users in good standing. Anonymous IP's votes are not counted, and new users whose first edits are to deletion discussions are generally disregarded as well. Please see the Articles for Deletion page for more information. If you would like to join Wikipedia and begin to contribute meaningfully to the project, we would welcome your participation in RfA discussion. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 18:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  - Wow, are all of you like this? I can't believe I donated to this project. Longcat is notable. How are memes not encyclopedic? This is completely ridiculous. I'm very disappointed. 4chan and /b/ in particular are right up there with the likes of Genmay and Something Awful -- notable. If memes don't belong in the Wiki, then what exactly is Category:Internet_memes supposed to be? If anything, tracking and documenting memes should be one place the Wiki excels in particular over other encyclopediae. If you were unfamiliar with Longcat (as most of you seem to have been! Guess what, you'd still be unfamiliar with Longcat if it weren't for this Wiki article) and wanted to learn about it, where's the first place you would look? That's right: the Wikipedia. Stop being such elitist pinheads. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.239.142.229 (talk • contribs) 22:23, September 15, 2005
    - Yes, we generally are all like this. We are interested in facts, and articles of encyclopedic interest. There is disagreement on whether this article is notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia. That is why we have the current deletion process in place for Wikipedia. Our goal is to build consensus on what should be done with questionable articles. If you'd care to look around at some of the other articles being discussed, you'll note that some will probably be deleted, while some will be kept. It's all part of the process. If you want to voice your opinion, you're welcome to, but be aware that we frequently delete articles about various internet forums, and are frequently flooded with anonymous edits from members of that forum seeking to keep the article. That certainly seems to be the case here. We're not really elitist, anyone can get a username, anyone with a username can vote, and votes from established users are considered, no matter what side of a discussion they are on. Votes from anonymous users are not. That is longstanding Wikipedia policy. If you feel there are holes in Wikipedia's coverage of Internet phenomena, I would encourage you to join the site and participate in the process of building an encyclopedia. However, some of the behavior that has been seen in this discussion, such as engaging in sockpuppetry, is quite frowned upon. As far as 4chan, 4chan does have an article, but this discussion is not over that article. Personally, I've heard of Something Awful, but not 4chan. But that is not what this discussion is about, this discussion is about whether Longcat is notable enough for it's own article. Best regards, Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 22:50, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

*Keep Even though I have an incredibly low chance of being accounted for in this vote, I would like to offer my vote anyway as well as propose a topic for discussion. Why, exactly, are anonymous contributors to this site held in such low regard? Does one's opinion become effectively null when its source is unknown? Whatever happened to the concept of judging one's opinions on their own merit rather than the eminence of the name of the one who speaks? It seems a bit counterintuitive to me to have anonymous posters able to speak their mind freely and yet be completely disregarded. Why are the posters here so dead-set on furthering the perceived values of their internet identities, which at their very core are indeed effectively anonymous? Anonymous-san 02:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

- User's third edit. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 21:20, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Anonymous contributions are welcome at Wikipedia, but anonymous users are just as likely yo have their contributions to articles edited as regular users. That's the nature of a wiki. Our policy is to allow established Wikipedia users to vote. Why? Because we are trying to establish a consensus, and we want each person to be able to express their opinion. We do not want that distorted by one person trying to appear as several people. If we allow anonymous votes, what is to stop someone from posting multiple votes from different IP addresses? We have no way at all of trying to ascertain if ten anonymous votes are posted by ten people, or two. So, if you want to vote in RfA discussions, feel free, but you will need to have a username at Wikipedia, and not merely be coming in because of one particular article.

Another editor has aimed for the dictionary and missed, hitting the encyclopaedia instead. Even if this were cleaned up to be an encyclopaedia article, it would be an article on "genrelization". But the article cites no sources and no sources can be found that show that there's any such concept. This article is unverifiable. The only things that Google Web turns up are mis-spellings of "generalization". We usually only do mis-spelling redirects when someone has actually made the mis-spelling and created a duplicate article, which is not the case here. Delete. Uncle G 23:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment - Video games and TV shows are viewed by millions of people. The club in question, maybe dozens. Don't take it personally.

Delete. As FCYTravis said, it's nothing personal. It ain't a bad article, either, but there's a difference between "newsworthy" and "encyclopaedic" in many opinions.

Delete. There's nothing personal, mind you, and the article is written better than other articles on Wikipedia. However, there needs to be something notable about the club.

Thanks who said abstain, even thought it will prolly be deleted, that really means a lot to me. And, yeah, that Strong Bad email is what inspired me. But, correct me if I'm wrong, but arn'e ther how-to giuds here? Like how to biuld you oun compy? I've at least seen that one. One more thing before I go to bed: I know it's kinda short, but I was planning on adding a lot more, but I don't want to put in the work if it will be deleted. I must beg once more to give it a chance, if its still up tomorrow, I'll improve on it.

If such articles do exist, then they too should be deleted. WP:NOT states that "Wikipedia is not instructive. While Wikipedia has descriptions of persons, places, and things, Wikipedia does not contain advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or how-to's. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, and recipes. Wikibooks is a Wikipedia sister-project which is better suited for such things." You aren't the first well-meaning person to put up a guide on Wikipedia and you won't be the last, but, unfortunately, that stuff doesn't fit within the scope of the project. That said, I do encourage you to find a place to put this guide and any others like it (Wikibooks, I believe, does how-to guides as mentioned above). I, of all people, could probably use a guide like this. :P Lord Bob 04:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to add more like this: [8]-- Unsigned Comment by 132.241.245.49, the author of the article --Aranda56 22:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep the article, but some of the content may be a copyright violation; see the article's talk page, and the remaining text requires some copy editing. I think we should keep an article on this woman, because, although I had never heard of her before coming across this Afd, I found:

190 Google hits on "Annie Ellicott Kennedy Bidwell"

(OK, this is actually not a very high amount :P, because many of them are near duplicates, but the info about her on the few distinctive sites does give evidence of notability, and she is a historical figure, not a contemporary, also searching on other variations such as "Ann Bidwell" results in different hits. LiniShu 06:24, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Her name is still known 80+ years after her death.
There is a biography written about her [9]
She seems to have been a somewhat prominent social figure in California in her time.
She seems to have been known for being a civic leader, philanthropist, suffragist, and temperance reformer, in addition to being the wife of John Bidwell -- LiniShu 05:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments: She is extremely well-known locally in the Chico, California area, but I don't know how local notoriety applies to notability. If the article is kept, it should be moved to Annie Bidwell, which is the name she is known as. User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:42, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I concur with Zoe's suggestion to rename if the article is kept -- LiniShu 06:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Update: I have reworded and expanded the text that was a potential copyright violation. -- LiniShu 06:18, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

hmm. Looks good as is; keep as Annie Bidwell. DS 14:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep This woman accomplished things during her lifetime. To sluff this article off into her husbands really negates her contributions and suggests that she was no-one save for the fact she was "just" some guys wife.. Stu 12:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. Grutness is presumably a rename, which is a form of keep. There is a clear leaning towards deletion, but not clear enough for a consensus.

I never been certain about this article that I created It might have reached POV for a few people even though its mostly accuarate. No Vote as I want other users to voice their opinion in this article. I going to try to expand it also if u guys say so. --Aranda56 03:05, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep and cleanup and move to a better title, such as List of famous sports busts. Like our entire lists of flops series, it is subjective, but with citation from respected sources (and they're not hard to find for this subject) it can be fun reading. Lord Bob 03:59, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Rename or delete. At present it could mean three things - 1) people who have been arrested while playing sport; 2) head-and-shoulders sculpture of sportspeople; 3) Anna Kournikova. Yet this seems to be a list of sports people - most of them men, and therefore not really having busts as such. Can someone explain what it's meant to be? At least Anna is on the list... Grutness...wha? 06:43, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Too subjective and ill-defined. If retitled, "busts" is slang (and ambiguous); better something like List of athletic failures or List of failed athletes or List of athletes that didn't live up to expectations. Niteowlneils 06:48, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ah. "Sports Busts" (all caps) is a term for sporting failures? is it a U.S.-only term, by any chance, because I've never heard it here... Grutness...wha? 06:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  - Not necessarily with caps. "bust" is U.S. slang for failure/flop/what-have-you. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 13:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)pand
    - comment Bust also gives the meaning A sports athlete who was projected to be a great player and failed to live up to that potential. Wiktionary doesn't know about that meaning yet, and neither does my "Random House" dictionary. -- Aleph4 13:42, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep/Rename/Cleanup. As noted, subjective lists like this have a precedent. I like Niteowl's suggestion to avoid "busts" in the title. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 13:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
weak delete. The name has to be changed, because "bust" is too ambiguous. The contents have to be changed -- the article should start with a definition, or we will have a "list of people in sports that failed at least once". All entries need a comment explaining why they got on this list. So, better to start over. Also, we should consider whether a category might not be more suitable. -- Aleph4 13:42, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Far too subjective - was Ankiel a bust when he had one outstanding year? should we equate players who got hurt with players who just plain stank? And I'm not comfortable with the schadenfreude/POV aspect of it either. Let the individual players' pages here tell their stories without a POV and leave it at that. | Keithlaw 15:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
So disappointed that this isn't a list of Great Sportwomen's Chests Of Our Times. Inherently POV, delete Vizjim 15:21, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I may rename it into List of athletes that didn't live up to expectations and expand into why the player was a bust if the page surives VFD which so far looks like a no consuesus. But to do that I need fellow wiki users to help me in that page and help me expand it to include players from sports like rugby and soccer in which i dont know nothing about and explain why the player was really a flop - not add into the list for bad faith like ex: Dan Marino because i dont like him or Pele because he just was and of course that whould be HEAVY POV and a page like this whould be a target of vandalism and hoax of course and I want to avoid that. What You say about that --Aranda56 22:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Aranda, I don't see how that revision solves the core problem that most of the Delete voters have identified: The subject, regardless of name is inherently POV. It's a commentary, not an article. That's why I think we're better off deleting the page. If you believe Player X failed to live up to expectations, then I would suggest going to Player X's article, documenting the high expectations (e.g., he was named the best prospect in his sport in 1995 by Some Sports Publication), and then documenting his performance subsequent to those expectations, thus letting the reader decide for him/herself whether those expectations were met. | Keithlaw 23:47, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  - I cant Vote Keep or Delete cause im the author but I looked in the list of flops series and i didn't notice a list of sports flops around maybe merge or create because i found Plenty of articles via google and that name them. You dont what the whole list of flops series in VFD right because this could be part of it easily --Aranda56 23:40, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
    - If someone put any of the flops articles up for VfD, I'd probably vote Delete there as well. Subjective articles don't fit Wikipedia's mission, esp. not the NPOV policy. As for this article, better to delete it now before it gets developed and established. | Keithlaw 02:36, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Yet another ill-defined list with completely subjective inclusion criteria and no sources provided. Wikipedia needs a lot fewer of these, not more. Quale 20:36, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep, rename, and clean up, per Lord Bob. Players like Ryan Leaf, Heath Shuler, Darko Milicic, and the countless MLB #1 picks that never reach the majors are well-known to readers/viewers of sports pages and shows, so it's certainly a valid list. It just needs some improvement. --Idont Havaname 01:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete ill defined list--User:AYArktos | Talk 01:24, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete it is a matter of opinion, and unless there is a common definition for sports bust that is equal to all sports (and I doubt there is) this page cannot work. Also if this page for some reason doesn't get deleted, it should at the very least provide some evidence as to why an individual player is a bust (draft position, stats, etc.).

It barely met the WP:MUSIC Guidelines because a so-so notable person Guy Chambers was in it but when i Did the Google Check only 229 Results and not one of those pages might help that article get out of a stub. No hope for the page that I know of. Expand if not Delete --Aranda56 03:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I have checked Guy Chambers' credits on Allmusic.com see [12]. It shows credits for World Party also cited in our article. Galenet's biography for The Waterboys shows Chambers as a member of that band at the time of Fisherman's Blues. He is best known as a songwriter of Robbie Williams best known songs. However, there is nothing in his credits to suggest membership of this band which doesn't have an Allmusic.com article. While the EMI publishing page for Chambers claims that he wrote, produced and performed with them between 1993 and 1995, see [13], his own page doesn't list them as an album that he worked on see [14]. An article on this band will not say much more than he was a member which is in our article on him. There is no other claim to notability according to WP:music other than his membership of the band.

Delete NN webcomic. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- What do you see as a good standard for notability for a webcomic? I have useful standards for books and people, and for bands there is WP:MUSIC. Surely some webcomics are noteable enough that an articel makes sense, and others are not. How do you draw the line? No vote yet DES ^(talk) 16:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  - Good point. Don't know how reliable it is, but I found [17], which gives stats for webcomics. If it's to be relied upon, at the time of writing Gemini Bright has been viewed 15 times this month. Not sure how real-time the stats are, but two of those should be me today, giving a total of 13 views. And some of them are bound to be the comic's creator, and a couple more would probably be fellow Wikipedians investigating an article listed on AfD. If this is basis for making a judgment, I'd say this made it nn. CLW 16:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
    - I visited that site, adn read their FAQ. I am note sure, but it looks to me as if they only record "views" made after they refered a user to a webcomic site. viewers who came in by a direct URL link or say from wikipedia, will probably not be included in their totals. Since they can add a listign without havign a change made to the content of a listed page (such as a hitcounter requires) I am prety sure this is the case. If that si so, these stats are not a good method of judging notability. DES ^(talk) 17:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  - Good question. I'm against simple "x hits per month" (or similar) metrics, as such are easily cheated at and don't mean much anyway. I think webcomics for inclusion should have a decent Alexa score and some recognition outside the webcomic crowd or otherwise impact on the outside world. For example, Penny Arcade is well known among gamers who aren't also webcomic buffs, and appears in gaming publications on occasion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
    - Another question would be whether or not a site is notable outside the webcomic community, or merely within it. Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, for example, isn't very significant in a cultural or pop-culture sense, but it and its creator have been involved in a lot of feuds and controversies within the webcomic community. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Questionable, but likely to be nn. If evidence of notability *does* crop up feel free to leave one on my talk page and I'll review my vote. — Phil Welch 23:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete, as nn webcomic, as I know that it isn't significant even in the webcomics community. If this has some sort of significant impact in the fur community or some other claim to notability, I will revise my vote. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 00:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete - I had a look at List of webcomics yesterday and it is just a webcomic advertising portal, I randomly clicked on some, and then google/alexa checked them, and so much there is non-notable. It's going to be a chore to dig through all those webcomics and find out which ones are actually notable, but I think it's a job that has to be done, or it'll just get worse, with wikipedia being the first port of call for webcomic advertising.

I'm skeptical that somebody wrote this much content, from scratch, for an event in 1982. Also notice the lack of wiki-links for that amount of content (signal of copy/paste). We need to see the source of the information both to verify it's truth, and to have a little assurance it's not a copyvio.

[edit] Algebraical quantity

This article makes no sense to me. The list 1.,2.,3. seems to describe polynomials, but later on the article claims that this is something different. 1,2,3 do not allow division, but later on division is allowed. Aleph4 09:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

5 days later: The article still makes no sense to me, but redirect to Expression (mathematics) seems to be better than deletion. -- Aleph4 10:23, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I think the distinction being made with polynomial is in part that between an algebraic expression and a function; but this is all very old-fashioned, and very confused. Septentrionalis 15:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. While I agree with Aleph4, I think that first the author of the article should have been contacted to see whether this issue can be cleared up. I copied the comment to Talk:Algebraical quantity, User talk:219.64.184.191, and User talk:219.64.184.180. The same author has written the related articles compound expression, simple expression, and trinomial; it seems like he/she is trying to build up a classification of mathematical expressions. I first want to see whether we can establish contact with the author; if not, I think the article (and the other I mentioned) can be deleted. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:57, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I had not thought of that. I have added a request for input at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Maths, natural science, and technology. -- Aleph4 13:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, this RFC was what brought me here, thanks for that. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

No vote yet. I want to see what Michael Hardy says. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:08, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment. The article is not clearly nonsense, but it seems to give a rather narrow definition of an idea that could admit a much broader one, and it is not so clear that the concept of "algebraical quantity" is really needed. "Everyone" needs to know what terms are (things that get added or subtracted) and what factors are (things that get multiplied) and what polynomials and rational functions and various other sorts of expressions are, but I don't see any clear need for this concept. The word "algebraical", as opposed to "algebraic", seems archaic, and I suspect it came from a somewhat out-of-date book — maybe published in 1840 or so? Michael Hardy 01:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Algebraical continued to be used for a while; this reads to me like the first attempts at universal algebra around 1880. And, oh yes, 'Redirect as below. Septentrionalis 15:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
delete per Michael Hardy. "-al" is redundant, and the concept isn't useful. JPD 14:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment I find this: "like terms" are defined as "Multiples of the same algebraic quantity. Hence if terms are not of the same algebraic quantity they are unlike terms." For example, n, 2n, 0.5n, 4n, are like terms and thus presumably are "of the same algebraic quantity" while 2, n, n² and n³ are unlike terms and presumably of "different algebraic quantity." In other words, "algebraic quantity" is the answer to the question "what is it that is 'alike' between 'like terms?'" This resonates with me, because I think that in physics—specifically, in the context of units, dimensions, and metrology—"quantity" has a similar meaning. Feet and inches express the same "quantity", namely length, while feet and acres do not. I think. I could have that garbled. So, ok... my vote is...
Mark for cleanup and move to Algebraic quantity. Put a note on the Talk page linking to this discussion. If nobody can make anything sensible out of it after a few months, nominate it for deletion again. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete and replace by redirect to Expression (mathematics). This seems preferable to the solution proposed by Dpbsmith which would leave an unintelligible article on Wikipedia for months; a merge is not possible since I would not know what to merge. It seems to me that the website found by Dpbsmith means something else by algebraic quantity than the author of the article, who would presumably consider n and 2n as different algebraic quantities. The definition of mathematical expressions and its representation is crucially important in computer algebra (and probably also in other disciplines that I'm less familiar with like logic), and there is an article waiting to be written here, but it should not be called algebraic quantity or algebraical quantity. By the way, there are also articles on algebraic function and algebraic number; both seem quite different from what the author had in mind. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete, but only because its poorly written. However, we do need a high-school level article for Category:Elementary mathematics or Category:Elementary algebra. Jitse's sugesstion is good, except that expression (mathematics) is too high-brow. If someone re-writes this so that its a nice article, I'll change my vote. linas 04:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I agree that Expression (mathematics) is the best place for the concept the author seems to be getting at. I think it is actually similar to the concept used on the website mentioned - it wasn't saying that terms such as n and 2n were "of the same algebraic quantity", but that they were both (scalar) multiples of the same algebraic quantity n. JPD 12:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, Delete and replace by redirect to Expression (mathematics), per Jitse Niesen and JPD. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

- Verifiability is not a valid argument to keep, Havard. It's a requirement that must be fulfilled, and just because you've proven it's not a hoax, does not mean it's notable enough to keep. Please explain why we need to keep this article. / Peter ^Isotalo 09:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

      - If he fought *against* the British side, that might make him different from other Brits in the same place and time (though he was just part British). However, its not clear to me who was on who's side at what time. --rob 11:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peasant revolt

Transwiki As far as I can see, this article consists of two parts, a dictionary definition which should be placed into the Wiktionary (I think I did a reasonable job of doing that), and an incomplete list of peasant revolts that are a subset of the ones included in Category:Peasant revolts and Category:Medieval popular revolt. Frankly, I don't see how the present article could hope to be more than this, as the individual revolts have nothing in common except the dictionary definition, but as a first effort to see if anyone might have more imagination than me, I applied the {{Move to Wiktionary}} template to the article, only to have it repeatedly removed, so I'm bringing this to AfD sooner than I otherwise would have, as I would have preferred to give it longer for someone to make a real article of it if possible. Caerwine 14:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep—an important historical phenomenon that must have an article. The fact that the article is presently so poor is shameful, but now someone's trying to get rid of it altogether? Needs expansion, and lots of it, not deletion. Everyking 14:22, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep and make it a Disambiguation page. Lists of Revolts are handled by Categories. Essays about Revolts are handled by articles where revolts have common features (such as the medieval period). Other revolts (Latin American, Russian, SE Asian) should have their own articles. The topic is very wide and this should disambiguate the reader to the correct location. Stbalbach 14:26, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep. An extremely important topic that has drawn much attention from historians in recent years. There have been several important studies looking at peasant uprisings in a global context, which is what this page should cover. - SimonP 15:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Medieval Chronological Timeline

List of dates for 1000+ years of European history with no qualifier. Too open-ended, allready handled in the 1000 AD style pages. Any dubious notion of significant or important date is POV, Medieval history is as complex as modern history (ie. its not just politics). Every year, indeed every month or even every day can have a notable date. Normally these types of lists are found in books that have a defined scope, not a general purpose unlimited scope encyclopedia. Stbalbach 14:10, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete, redundant. — Phil Welch 21:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete per my comments above (not sure if that counted as a vote). Stbalbach 23:43, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep expand and cleanup. Notable historical timeline although should advise the beginning and end of the medieval period and should outline significance of these events. This would be highly useful for people studying the medieval period. Capitalistroadster 00:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Pointlessly simplistic duplication. But if it keeps listmakers from crayoning on the walls, then it's harmless. --Wetman 08:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep Medieval history is complex, and this page can be expanded to include more artistic and scientific breakthroughs. I did not create the original post, but updated it significantly (I did not realize pages could be deleted, actually). I am prone to such lists, as that is the way I order my historical studies. I don't agree that such a thing is handled in the AD pages, as suggested by the first user (above), in that I find them to be woefully inadequate and difficult to follow. I also agree that an intro be added describing the medieval period, as well as delineations for the Low, Middle and High ages. egthegreat 18 Sept 20050
Keep I can see no reason to delete this. --Apyule 05:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment. The problem is there is no universal agreement of what should or should not be on the list. So, I might add the birthdays of 45+ Gothic artists from the 12-14th century, doubling the size of the list. Or, perhaps the founding date of 100s of Crusader state castles. Does that make it a better list? What should not be on the list? It is so open ended as to be of no value. These types of lists are usually personal in nature, dates that are important to you. Stbalbach 14:14, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- While you make interesting points, I don't think that they are enough to delete the article. A consensus for the content of the timeline can be developed on the talk page using standard wiki process, like for individual years. Just because there are some bad lists out there doesn't mean that this timeline should go. --Apyule 01:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

However, it must be clear that 'gaining legitimacy' is clearly not something that laruunis seek, especially when they are required to question and challenge the authority of nation-states and existing churches.
- I openly admit that the religion has not gained 'any kind of currency'. If this is indeed a prerequisite for a half-page entry on Wikipedia, by all means delete it. As a philosopher and a scientist, I understand that some encyclopedists emphasize the need not only to report the present level of knowledge, but also to give an impetus to some readers to rethink (matters of science, morals, aesthetics, etc.) and to advance the existing pool of knowledge.
delete looks like a vanity religion page, the only thing this religion has going for it is the blog linked to in the (advertising-copy-like) article. maybe in a few years, we'll see if the blog/religion lives or dies, but right now this looks like vanity advertising in order to get a new religion off the ground, or improve blog rankings. Sorry Anseynol, legitimacy *is* a standard for an encyclopedia article. KillerChihuahua 19:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Anseynol writes: Please do not feel sorry for me Mr./Ms. Editor. I feel very fortunate in many ways, and I do feel an obligation to serve those who are less fortunate. My religion makes it clear that this is not a 'habit' on my part, nor an unexamined remnant from my Muslim past. I am aware of the sense of the word 'vanity' in publishing lingo. I hope it is clear that there is no vanity in somebody's declaration of readiness to improve the lot of humankind --which, in the midst of electronic affluence, appears pretty miserable to me.
- As I state on the blog site, many people will understand our religion better 'by the fruits of our work'. You can choose to be a facilitator of that kind of service, or you can do otherwise. Not only are good and evil options available to us, but also the sublime and the ridiculous --among others. Regards, Anseynol

A bunch of fake shades of red. You can make up plenty of names (e.g. cherry red, lipstick red, strawberry red, rhubarb red, etc.) but that doesn't mean there is an objective, notable color by that name.

Chili powder (color) (Supposedly the color of chili powder. I don't think a redirect is appropriate here.)
Feldspar (color) (Supposedly the color of feldspar. Of course, feldspars have varying colors; I don't think a redirect is appropriate here.)
Fire brick red (Supposedly the color of a fire brick. No evidence the name isn't simply made up, and of course fire bricks vary in color. I don't think a redirect is appropriate here.)
Fire engine red (Supposedly the color of fire engines, which, of course, vary in color like any other physical objects. As far as I can tell, "fire engine red", when used in English, isn't a particular shade of red, but simply means "bright red".)
Metallic Rose (It's a color.)
Olive-yellow (It's a mix of olive and yellow.)
Pale gray-red (A pale mix of gray and red.)
Persian Sunset (I can't find any evidence that this color name exists.)
Pink-cerise (It's a mix of pink and cerise.)
Red-pink (It's a mix of red and pink.)
Raspberry (color) (Supposedly a color that resembles raspberries.)
Rose (color) (Supposedly a pinkish-red color.)
Sphaerocobaltite (color) (Supposedly the color of a mineral, sphaerocobaltite.)
Terra cotta (color) (Supposedly the color of terra cotta. I know people use this phrase as a color name, but I doubt it refers to a specific shade, and more than "tomato red" does.)
Tomato (color) (Supposedly the color of a tomato. I don't think a redirect to Tomato is useful here.)

Most of these are only linked from list of colors. If deleted, the entries there should be removed, too.

Finally, sorry for the mass listing, but I thought this was better than 15 separate nominations. dbenbenn | talk 18:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep Delete based on what? Colors are certainly notable. Yes, maybe this is taking it a bit too far, but I personally think it's a great reference. I tend to err on the side with more information than on less. --Quasipalm 19:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- I prefer more information rather than less, too, but this "information" is misleading. For example, on what basis could you assert that "tomato" is the color #FF6347, and not any of the other 2²⁴ other possible RGB colors? dbenbenn | talk 21:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

There are various shades of any such color (for instance, this gimp pallete[21] features many versions of rose) and the Terra cotta (color) mentions two different RGB coordinates. If there are variations on a specific "named" color, they should be listed as well. Anetode 06:46, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete those where a definitive standard/reference/something cannot be found. As it is they all look like arbitrary original research. Note I don't mean A Big Book, a simple image is good enough for me (for example Falu red). Sliggy 00:16, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Merge into Shades of red —Wahoofive (talk) 00:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete original research. No source is given for these, although "Fire brick red" is apparently from X11. I and another user asked User:67.85.2.175 for sources on the others, but received no response. The perception and identification of colors is often more subtle than finding a set of RGB triples that "look right." Gazpacho 02:02, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

and besides that, why have articles about colors named after things, when we could just get pictures of the things? Gazpacho

Look, I could care less about RGB coordinates - red, green, and blue existed long before there were agreed-upon numerical standards to measure them by. The fact is, when you say someone's car was fire-engine red, it evokes a particular shade of red (or range of shades) based on our common experience with fire engines (even tho those in my town are light green). Same thing with Raspberry - the fact that its used as a descriptor in a hit song is verification enough for me that it deserves an article. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Ugh. Delete all, because trying to reach consensus on which of these we've each heard of and which we haven't may be impossible. (For what it's worth, I've heard of "Rose", "Fire Engine Red", "Terra Cotta", and Raspberry", so I wouldn't mind "merging" those (basically just mentioning their names) in the Red article.) The particular color samples and RGB values have got to go - they are either a choice from an arbitrary source, or OR. Bunchofgrapes 04:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete them all. I can't imagine any but at most a dozen or so colors could have more than a substub and a lot of arguing about the precise shade. Tuf-Kat 07:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete or merge. Actually a sufficient article already exists List of colors so no merge is necessary.

Keep Feldspar (color), Fire engine red, Raspberry (color), Rose (color), and Sphaerocobaltite (color), and merge Terra cotta (color) to Terra cotta. No opinion on the others. -Sean Curtin 00:25, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep Fire engine red but change it to a different shade. In psycholinguistic literature "fire engine red" is frequently used to refer to the "focal" red color, i.e. the kind of red that most people would agree is the reddest red. I've always thought of "fire engine red" as being more like FF0000. The color on the page is more like maroon.

The result of the debate was actually somwhat ambiguous. Despite the clear vote count showing a lot of "deletes" vs. only two "keeps", things are not all that clear, because there are two different reasons given to delete.

Saleha Zhowandai is not notable.
The content establishing notability in the article is not verifiable.

There is no consensus that the subject is not notable, had the article been fully verified, so the issue of whether to delete or not boils down to one of verifiability. I have done a bit of searching for other sources about Saleha, and I have not found any other sources except Wikipedia and its mirrors either. Because of that, I am going to call this a delete, but if any other sources verigying the content can be provided, an undeletion request might be in order.

delete, the "first fulbright scholarship" appears to be a claim of notability, but I don't think that makes her notable enough. — brighterorange (talk) 19:37, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep. She's from Afghanistan and she's a woman; her achievements take on a different significance. The objections are a little like saying: "why do we have an article on Rosa Parks? So she wouldn't give her seat up on a bus — I do that all the time..." --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:18, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

With all due respect, Mel, there are Afghan women in the post-Taliban era who have obtained much greater achievements, like being appointed at both public and private institutions and organizations. A person who has just graduated and has not made anything significant other than teaching at an university and publishing one paper is not notable enough to deserve an article, not even taking the circumstances that you mention into consideration. This is specially true when nobody on the web seem to have knowledge of her other than from WP. My two cents. - Shauri 20:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

weak delete per Shauri. If there were any sources, or even where she teaches, or any stronger reason for noteability than graduation, then I would say keep, but right now we are speaking of keeping the only source, undocumented and unconfirmed, about this woman's achievements at all. I don't mean to disregard her accomplishment, but as an encyclopedia, *some* source/confirmation is necessary. --KillerChihuahua 20:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep, subject to verification. This is borderline, but given her circumstances that Mel pointed out she's worth keeping. Barely. — Phil Welch 20:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete for both significance and verifiability. Barno 00:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete per Shauri. The "first Fullbright scholarship for an Afghan woman" part actually says "first Fullbright scholarship in Economics for an Afghan woman" and that's just too weak to confer any notability. The first Fullbright scholarship overall for any Afghan woman might be encyclopedically notable, but this isn't. I don't want to see "first Fullbright scholarship in field xxxx for a woman from country yyyyy" articles for all fields xxxx and all countries yyyyy in wikipedia unless the subject meets WP:BIO standards for other reasons. Quale 21:27, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete Molotov (talk) 22:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I am the author of the article. The article was created as part of an effort to put the artist and his works on the internet, largely to provide presence and factual record for anyone seeking further information having seen his works, or otherwise. The artist does have his own home page (which I created for him), but that home page may not survive indefinitely, whereas the Wikipedia will, and the artists works will. In 10 years time, someone seeking more information on the artist, based on one of his many works, may find nothing other than a Wikipedia article - which is far better than finding nothing at all. The article is not an advertisement (it does not induce or solicit trade, etc - it merely states fact). I agree that the article lacks detail, perhaps in 5-10 years time, it will also lack detail - and then it may be more relevant to remove the entry, but deleting the article within 12 months of its existance seems shortsighted. Perhaps in 5-10 years time, the artist will have grown in stature and relevance. In terms of "notability", the artist does have a reputation, admittedly not as large as other artists, but probably larger than some of the trival news events and detail in other articles.
Delete - Using WP to create a web presence for an otherwise non-notable artist is vanity, pure and simple. Unencyclopaedic, and WP:NOT a crystal ball. If he proves to be notable in 10 years time you can write an article about him then. Natgoo 03:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No indication that this artist meets WP:BIO. Quale 21:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep What User:Zoe fails to consider, [personal attack removed], is that this is not an English dictionary, this is an encyclopedia, the purpose of which is to inform and entertain. Individuality is encouraged, and users are even encouraged to spell creatively as stated on the front page. I have been working hard making contributions, while User: Zoe apparently (from a superficial glance at his discussion page) has been working hard vandalizing others’ contributions. There are many words that are not English, but were borrowed from other languages because they are important concepts that are impossible to substitute, such words as dacha, perestroika etc. ‘’’An intelligent’’’ is a unique irreplaceable concept, and therefore deserves a place in this resource. I am qualified to make this assessment because I was raised in the former USSR, and my family belongs to the intelligentsia class. I am also an English writer and poet. The authors of the intelligentsia article are students from India, whose idea of the term is extremely vague and superficial, and frankly the article is amateurish. But unlike User:Zoe I appreciate various perspectives, that give the reader more food for thought. An intelligent (like serf for example) is a type of person, that does not exist in English speaking countries, the term was not widely known here. And the purpose of an encyclopedia is to inform, not to reiterate already known facts. I believe User:Zoe came here with the wrong motives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LevKamensky (talk • contribs) 23:32, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

At least I'm neither making personal attacks, nor assuming ill will, nor am I vandalizing pages by deleting mergeto headers. And why are you calling me "he"? User Talk:Zoe|^(talk) 23:36, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

You would censor me for not using "he or she", your gender was not evident to me, maybe that's why. Vandalizing my own work, can't beat logic! The point is this, Wikipedia's policy is very flexible and you are running around, looking for a problem to fix where there is none. So my conclusion is that you are, not being constructive, but rather selfish, and should be banned from this resource because you are a hindrance to the creative process.User:LevKamensky

Maybe the rumour-mongers haven't checked it... Kappa 00:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. People have been arguing about this place for as long as I've been alive, and if nothing else, I'd like to see the article kept if only because it looks like the Terre Haute House won't be around much longer, and eventually there just won't be that many -- if ANY -- references to it, so it would be nice to have a place where people could learn about what "used to be." I would encourage anyone with info on the place to add it!!!

I lived in Terre Haute in 1996-97 and actually came to love the old place, since you just don't see buildings like that in cities like Terre Haute! I now live about 2-1/2 hours from T.H., so I can be a bit more objective. Somewhere I read that gangsters like Al Capone and others stayed there, wish I could find that article again ... I do know that Tony Hulman's mother lived there in her final years. I've been told she was quite an interesting lady.

J newkirk 03:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

This question is for Doc, but anyone can answer: Would it have been better if I had rolled the content of this article into the general Terre Haute article? I considered that before writing the article, given the fact that the THH has been a subject of great debate in the city for at least as long as I've been alive, probably longer. If you think that would be preferable, I'm pretty sure I can condense the info in the THH article down a bit. I'm new here, and still learning the ropes, so I'm more than happy to get all the good advice I can get!!! Thanks! J newkirk 05:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- I think it's best to make a quick mention in the main article with an explanation of why it's noteworthy, and then let users follow the link to this article if it seems interesting. Since it's a historic building there's no reason not to have this much detail, but it wouldn't fit on the main page. Kappa 12:11, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

- I think the first bit's the key. If it is notable in the city - then it merits mention there, and if there is enough notable detail pehaps its own article. But just being an old hotel is IMO not notable - perhaps if you added a paragraph to the article explaining why it is locally notable that might help. --Doc (?) 12:26, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I think I can swing the hammer in that direction. I'll make some changes and you can see what you think. J newkirk 16:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, I have added a paragraph in the "History" section of the main article on Terre Haute, and I also fleshed out the THH article a bit. I think it looks good, but I wrote it, so I'm a little bit biased! ;-) In all seriousness, I do hope it's good enough to merit keeping. I can add a photo of the hotel, if that might help. I have one on hand, and can probably find others. J newkirk 19:14, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, you've put the work in, the article should stay (perhaps my nomination was a bit harsh - and in a US context 19th century buildings are perhaps a little more notable than here in Europe) so keep (or even speedy keep - since I withdraw the nomination and no-one else has voted delete). --Doc (?) 20:51, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Doc, I appreciate it. ~~So is it now OK to remove the box on my page?~~ Sorry, I had to re-read the rules for deletion ... newbie mistake. J newkirk 21:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, this will be my final entry in support of my article unless someone asks for more. Demolition of THH is scheduled to start next week, so as soon as that's under way, I plan to edit the article and change everything over to the past tense (as needed). Once demo starts, there won't be any need to refer to it in the here and now, it'll be history ... which was basically my point for writing the article anyway. J newkirk 21:42, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Notable soon-to-be-gone building. -- DS1953 03:16, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I think this article needs to stay, I think it's a valuable page that wouldn't be able to exist anywhere else.

The result of the debate was SPEEDY DELETED by User:Jpgordon. The talk page got left behind; I'll delete it now. -Splash^talk 01:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Taco-snotting

An obscure term apparently used on Slashdot. Joyous (talk) 23:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Do we really have to clean up this crap? paul klenk 23:33, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Attack page on Rob Malda, disguised by hiding the attack in this unpleasant link. It is an attack on the founder of Slashdot. It is not a term commonly used on Slashdot. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete. Personal attack and nonsense. Quale 21:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was DELETE. -Splash^talk 01:02, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Slappywag

A word in a fake language. Joyous (talk) 23:04, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete as per nom. TheMadBaron 10:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Agreed; delete. DS 11:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was DELETE. Normally, I'd want more debate, but the nominator is clearly correct. -Splash^talk 01:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flying Ducks

The term isn't verifiably linked to this game. I would merge it, but all info is redundant, being reproduced in Duck Hunt, and the title shouldn't redirect there anyway. Ziggurat 23:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. .::Imdaking::. ^{TLK | Y! 05:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)}

The result of the debate was DELETE. -Splash^talk 01:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kristian Harrison

He is certainly not known by IMDB for his role. Austrian 23:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC) (corrected IMDB link Austrian 19:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC))

Delete, he said in his high pitched voice. Probably a hoax. paul klenk 23:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure, but i think that he might be real due to looking at 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' page and he is noted as playing there. Any suggestions on the matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.4 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 16 September 2005 Note: article was created by User:195.93.21.3
Delete, hoax. Rabba-Ding, Iceland? Not even BJAODN-worthy. And all of the oompa loompas were played by Deep Roy. User:Zoe|^(talk) 20:51, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
comment. User:195.92.168.173 replaced the contents of this page with the following text:

I live in Iceland, quite close to the village of Rabba Ding and i am offended that this article can be selected for deletion, considering he is very well known locally and he should be commemmorated for his acting career and we all hope he enjoys his recent retirement. Daniel Karsten, Reykjavik.

By an amazing coincidence, the article Daniel Karsten, originally created by User:195.92.168.169, was recently deleted as a hoax. -- Austrian 21:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

This is complete prejudice. Rabba-Ding does exist. Well, i should know having been there on holiday. And no! The oompa loompas wern't all played by the same actor. Hopefully this will allow you to come to a proper and rightful decision. User:Christian Hans 18.36, 21 September 2005. Actually, this was written by User:195.93.21.4 at 17:36 UTC, 21 Sept, not by ~~the nonexistent~~ User "Christian Hans". Very funny. -- Austrian 18:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually there is a Christian Hans. I should remind you that you must look before you say unfounded accusations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.4 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 23 September 2005

You are right. Should we conclude that you are he? Please log in in the future, so that we do not mistake you for the vandal who operates as User:195.93.21.4 --Austrian 19:29, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I reverted vandalism by User:195.92.168.170. --Austrian 18:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. The unanimity outweighs the lack of participation. moink 20:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spiders_vs_Housefly

This page is non-encyclopedic and seems to be aiming for humour or entertainment instead Sajt 23:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Stale comparative analysis. paul klenk 23:56, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I think this qualifies for speedy? In any case, delete. --Miborovsky 00:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. It looks like its supposed to be some sort of game, though I can't fathom the rules. This is not a game forum. Anyway, spiders win, cos they rock, so that's the matter closed. TheMadBaron 10:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete with four delete votes and what I will interpret as one unsigned anonymous keep vote. moink 20:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Skram

nn music genre. Googling for Skram + "Antioch Arrows" returns zero hits. Other searches are hard to determine anything from. Searchig for "Antioch Arrows" alone only returns 28 unique hits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:33, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. "Skram is very hard to find." Well said. paul klenk 23:54, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Zoe, who put this article up for deletion, did a google search for "Antioch Arrows." Haha. Would you look at that everybody. Don't you know anything, Zoe? It's singular; shows how cool you are.

But don't you see?! It's precisely because you haven't heard of Skram that Skram is so cool! That's how it works! The less you know, the greater the entry's worth. It's like Newton's laws about gravity! Skram = Value x (People Who Know)^2. Booyah.

And don't try to be all like, "Well, then you should be happy I want to delete it so nobody will know about it" or "why did anybody even write about it then" either. Because, my friend, what's the point of value if it can't be cashed in!? How will people know that we know something they don't if they don't KNOW that we know something they don't?!? HUH?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.249.64.189 (talk • contribs) 01:02, 16 September 2005 (Moved from Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Skram)

Um, at the time that I listed this, the article said "Antioch Arrows". [22] User:Zoe|^(talk) 18:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Doing the Google search right [23] gives....33 hits. You should be happy I want to delete it so nobody will know about it. -Splash^talk 01:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

skram is real. it's antioch arrow, a well respected emo band from california.... look around, skram is real

The result of the debate was delete. The low participation is offset by the unanimity. moink 20:30, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Analog Trust

Looks like nnbv to me: 'no releases as of yet' and their claim 'a number of tunes are making the rounds with djs worldwide' is doubtful and I can't verify it anyway. --Doc (?) 23:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. paul klenk 23:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete yuk, nnbv. We really need to revisit the speedy criterion discussion for these. -Splash^talk 01:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete, nn. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete -- Joolz 19:01, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Michael pilling

Seems to be little more than a software engineer for a Canadian political party. I'd tag it for speedy - but it sort of asserts notability, so I thought I'd beter bring it here (no objection if someone wants to kill it quick)--Doc (?) 23:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I got as far as the confirm delete screen before changing my mind because "name"+"software thing" gives a few Google hits. Still nn assistant to a political party and runner of, wow, a website. -Splash^talk 01:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete, or at best merge with Living Platform if true. He appears to be a web site/wiki admin.[24] — RJH 14:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Website admin is not encyclopedically notable. Quale 21:39, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete -- Joolz 18:56, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hundred Acre Wood in Ashes

Fails WP:MUSIC Punkmorten 23:54, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The article itself establishes non-notability. TheMadBaron 10:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Unfortunately, no indicia of encyclopedic notability. -- BD2412 ^talk 13:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
