[edit] List_of_Jewish_surnames

This article is extremely inaccurate and full of errors. It lists names that, while some may have been adopted by Jews, are not Hebrew in origin and are therefore not Jewish surnames. 24.244.239.0 19:16, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Um, that's a reason for fixing the list, not for deletion. That said, I would suggest that surnames that are common in the Jewish community *are* Jewish surnames regardless of origin. Take this to the talk page. — Phil Welch 21:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I like the concept of this article, but it should really stick to names associated with Jews, rather than names adopted by Jews which are common in some parts of the world e.g. German names in Anglophone countries. --MacRusgail 20:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I see no relevant reason to delete this list of notable names that serve the purpose in identifying an important part of the roots of Jewish names. I believe this article needs to possibly be cleaned up - the images on it are slightly irrelevant, but the rest of the content I feel is important. Piecraft 20:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ashida Kim

This entry was moved from the main AfD page to its own subpage. No vote yet Pilatus 16:01, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Please Delete Ashida Kim

This is the fifth time I have come to your administration council asking to be removed from your site. For several years I didn't even know it existed, no one from your outfit had the common courtesy to notify me at all. When I found out abut it, it proved to be a pure "trash and bash" site foisted on you by the mental midgets at Bullshido.net, who slam everyone in the martial arts world, including me, most of whom they have never met. They went to great difficulty to "set me up" so they could pretend I committed some infringement on their personal space, they use every dirty debating trick in the book, like demanding proof then refusing to accept it, and are not capable of carrying on an intelligent discussion. They come to my website and bash me every time they get a new account because I have banned hundreds of "sock puppet names" they create to harass me. But, the final straw was them stating in a post giving the names, addresses and phone numbers</a> of several of my friends so the could be attacked that "two members of Bullshido have reviewed a videotape of a man in the yard at (address withheld) who appears to be the same older man shown as Ashida Kim in this picture (link to an associate website)." Now gentlemen, no matter what you say, that is stalking. It is a crime. I have committed no crime, all I have ever done was defend myself against the scurrilous attacks of a pack of internet trolls. I have come here many times to ask that this entry be removed OR protected. Last time I create an account so I could monitor the entry, your crew just deleted it till now. Then restored it ONLY because I complained about it. I did not come here to "turn the site into a personal endorsement." I come here every time to ask you to remove it. What I get in return is "pass the buck" to this page or that so I must repeat my complaint a thousand times only to have it ignored again. So, here we are doing it all again, doing it your way, by your rules, following your policies. I don't understand why you INSIST on keeping this page up except to harass me and make me waste my time begging you to take it down. Am I so important to you that you must continue this shabby treatment? You guys make a big deal out of Bill Aguair saying I wasn't in the BDFS; even after I showed him my ID card signed by his Grandmaster. BUT, when HE came to my site and demanded, not asked politely as I have done many times to you, that I stop claming to be affiliated with him and that I take down all references to the BDFS, I did it. Simple to keep the peace. Why is it you can't do the same here? Why is it so important that you maintain a page that is repeated vandalized, that I, the subject, do not want up in the first place, and that has now become a source of information used by stalkers to sneak up and attack my friends? See, if we have to fight one of these clowns and kill him, or they us, it won't hurt YOU at all, safely behind your intellectual armor and distanced by the internet. But the families of those involved will pay the emotional price for years. Is that what you want? So, I ask again, as politely and respectfully as I can, please remove the Ashida Kim entry. Now, because some of the moderators on this board have accused me of being an impersonator, so they could ignore my request, my e-mail is given below. I have had this address for twelve years. Everyone on the internet knows how to get in touch with me because the trolls delight in spamming me to death; and you, with this entry, are helping them. --Ashida Kim dojopress@aol.com

• If Mr. Kim would state an adequate, appropriate reason why the page on him ought to be deleted, such as that he's insufficiently notable to be worthy of mention here, then I might vote to delete it, but for now, with only his blustery, ranting demands, I feel compelled to vote to Keep just to show that we don't give in to such attempts at bullying. *Dan T.* 16:30, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral. As much as I wouldn't mind seeing the article go away forever, "Kim" is a somewhat notable character in the Western neo-ninja fantasy martial arts business. He has been selling books detailing his theories on how to murder people secretly through ads in the back of comic books for some 20 years or so now, and is also the subject of much ridicule at the bullshido.com website and others. The user above who signed himself "Ashida Kim" requesting this AfD seems to be the same person who has an account at User:Ashida Kim that he has apparently forgotten how to access. In general, the user does show a consistent pattern of disjointed invective, personal attacks and legal threats throughout his tenure here, including in the last few days on my talk page. --Fire Star 16:35, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The whole things smells like a hoax. Either we're talking about a charlatan or someone poking fun at us. Either way, the person in question seems very non-notable. / Peter ^Isotalo 16:49, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Firestar says I forgot how to access my account. I say the account was closed without notrification or permission. When I tried to access it I got a page that said "No User Account Has Been Established." Once again, you demonstrate your prejudice. Then you delete my arguments so only my enemies have a voice.

BUT that is irrelevant. DTobias, You ask for "an adequate, appropriate reason why the page on him ought to be deleted." Isn't putting the lives of my friends in danger sufficient? Isn't stalking them in their own homes enough? You claim I've got all this "bluster?" Where is it? I related the facts of the case and BEGGED you to PLEASE Protect or Remove this page, (can't get more humble or defeated than that) and YOU come back with a personal attack against my attitude, which I earned honestly dealing with this same kind of repeated baiting. Breaking your own rules means nothing, eh? And, all of this is for nothing. Because this is your game. To taunt, to split hairs, to hide behind your "policies" and pretend you are important. I'm not that important. You want me to say it so you can publish it to all your troll buddies on the troll web ring, fine. "I'm not that great. Anyone can do what I do if they but know how, and I show them how." Humble enough for ya? Will you take down the entry now? Of course not, because getting attention from me is all you live for, LOL Ashida Kim

I actually said "apparently forgotten" as I didn't want to assert categorically that you had. The account hasn't been deleted. Even if you were banned it wouldn't be deleted. The following collection of blue, underlined letters are a "link", put your screen's cursor on them on them and right click your mouse: User:Ashida Kim. The account is still there. --Fire Star 17:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, please see the entire edit history of User:Ashida Kim. You will see that there was a quick flurry of edits from 22:49, July 5, 2005 (when the page was created) to 23:13, July 5, 2005, after which it remained untouched to this day. All of the edits were made by the owner of the user page, and it was never deleted. If it ever had been deleted, the edit history would show that. --Ashenai 21:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. There doesn't seem to be anything on this page which could be viewed as endangering anyone's life. No address is provided -- not even a real name. Although the subject of this article may, in fact, be the victim on stalkers, there is nothing in this article which promotes or facilitates such illegal activity. Pburka 17:22, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • On further reflection, I will vote to keep this article. Despite the subject's claims, this article demonstrates that Wikipedia's editors are actively pursuing a NPOV and do not tolerate inappropriate information which might contribute to stalking. Most incidents of vandalism to this article seem to have been fixed within an hour of their occurance. If Mr. Kim prefers to remain anonymous, I suggest that he stop publishing books and maintaining his own website. Pburka 22:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article's subject is (barely) notable. There are examples of stalker-like edits in the page's histroy, (addresses, phone numbers, etc), given in the page's history, (which page protection won't hide, btw), but this is simple vandalism, and can be quickly corrected. The stalker-ish edits in the history can also be excised from public view, if it is felt to be truly nessesary, but none of this has to do with whether or not the article should be kept. Func( t, c, @, ) 17:35, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This person seems to be somewhat notable within the fantasy world inhabited by those who think that a knowledge of eastern martial arts makes them supermen. Even if the complainant really is Ashida Kim, there's no reason to delete an article just because the subject asks us to, as long as the information is accurate. -- Necrothesp 19:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Whether the fantasy world that Necrothesp is talking about is notable or not is also a decent debate, but i'll go with the crowd and say that we're just barely past ninjacruft here. Due to the remarkable work of Fire Star, this article has gone from a piece of self indulgent tripe into a fairly good article. The real problem with it though isn't the article itself, but Ashida Kim's behavior, which you can see for yourself on this AfD. I used to think it was just humorous posturing, but it really is getting disruptive and I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually gets banned for something. Karmafist 23:45, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Try To Stay On Topic. This is not about the information being accurate. Which it isn't. It is about this entry be used to post the names of my friends so they can be attacked. Please pay attention and quit wandering off topic. And quit pretending that this isn't me talking to you. That is just another cheap shot from a bunch of cheap shot experts! Ashida Kim
  • You're the one who's off-topic, since the valid criteria for deletion of an article have nothing to do with people using it to post names of people for stalking -- that, if it happens, is considered vandalism and is dealt with by reverting the particular edits, and/or banning the particular users involved; it says nothing about whether the article they happen to be vandalizing ought to be deleted or not. And, incidentally, I see no signs of any edits within the last few weeks that involve posting anybody's name or address for the purpose of enabling stalking; if such has happened, it must be a long time ago, and not relevant to current deletion or protection discussion. This page is for the discussion of whether the page should be deleted, and is not the appropriate place to report vandalism or stalking. *Dan T.* 21:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If somebody were to post the names and addresses of friends of George W. Bush for the purpose of enabling stalking and harrassment, would that be a valid reason to delete the article on G.W.B. altogether? *Dan T.* 21:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable pseudo-ninja. Someone notable enough to be a public figure, even of such minor stature as this douchebag, doesn't get to have his article removed just because he doesn't like it. Are there inaccuracies? Note them on the talk page so they can be fixed. (Fixing them yourself--well, we discourage writing and editing articles about yourself.) If the verifiable and accurate information exposes you as a douchebag, you only have yourself to blame. -- Phil Welch 21:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable person/topic and long diatribes from the subject of an article should not influence how an encyclopedia treats the subject matter. Trödel|talk 21:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If there is stalking going on, calling the local authorities seems more appropriate than trying to police the Internet. Protecting the page seems a prudent step as well: it is not as if this is a very dynamic page. Turnstep 22:05, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Notable. Vandalism can be dealt with the normal Wikipedia way. Personal information in the page history can be removed by administrators. --cesarb 22:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable for his many, uh, "contributions" to the MA community, even if he is a little nutty. Sean 22:47, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• DELETE There is no proof of any of the claims made against Ashida Kim. Further, the posting of the names and locations of his friends and associates is a direct invasion of privacy that could lead to unfortunate situations for both parties. The truth regarding Mr.Kim is not really known, other than what he has willingly revealed, and so it is in-appropriate to post such claims that are mere assumptions based on little real evidence. Such is the work of biased men who posess narrow minded views regarding a man who has done no harm to anyone and just wishes to be left alone. Please be responsible and remove the article. Thank you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.151.194.228 (talk • contribs) , who was also recently temp blocked for blanking portions of the project article repeatedly.
• Keep somewhat notable article which shows Wikipedia's commitment to NPOV Ashibaka (tock) 02:45, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Tobias and Phil, If either of you had read the Discussion Page for Ashida Kim you would have seen the names I object to being STILL published. If you had read the first entry in this thread you would have seen me quote Bullshido saying they had taped my friends. THAT is evidence of stalking. The reason you don't see it is because you refuse to look at it. As for you Turnstep, the only reason my diatribes are so long is because guys like you keep making me repeat it all. What you want is for me to get angry so you can tell me how "non-grandmasterly" I am acting. THAT is proof that all of you lot are just trolls looking for attention. There is no justice here. On the one hand you tell me how insignificant I am, and in the next breath compare me to George Bush. Which is it? Either one that makes you silly point because you are lying. Old lawyer trick, "when the facts are on your side, pound on the facts, when the law is on your side pound on the law, when neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound on the table." That is what you are doing, just making noise to make yourselves heard. I have shown you up for the little pimps you are. If I am so insignificant, why keep me on site? Answer, to harass me. If I am so great as George Bush, why not talk to me and get the truth instead of publishing a bunch of lies and making me waste all this time more than once in a futile effort to change your closed minds? Any sane person can see who is in the right here, and it ain't you guys, LOL --Ashida Kim

I don't see any names and addresses on the discussion page, so I guess I'm blind or something. *Dan T.* 22:58, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

On September 6th the entry began "Ashida Kim is the pseudonym of Radford Davis." I have been complaining about it ever since. Just because you changed it doesn't mean tomorrow some troll can't come in and put it, or any of the other five names they think are my "secret identity," right back up again. This is the THIRD time I have said that in this discussion alone. ==Ashida Kim

• Comment. And when they do, it will usually be reverted within an hour (although it did take 4 days last time). Attempting to prevent people from talking about you on the Internet is futile at best. Pburka 23:35, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

You just admitted your system doesn't work, LOL And then there is CesarB, making empty promises to take out all the names, but I don't see that happening. It didn't happen the first time, it hasn't happened since the last time I came here to bitch about this, and it won't happen now. Just more lame excuses. If you look at all these votes to keep the post you will see that not a single one is based on any logical reason. Most are just "keep it up to spite him." What an arrogant attitude you lot have, LOL --Ashida Kim

If you tell me which revisions have the offending personal information (the links from the page history), I can look at it. I cannot guess which revisions contain personal information which should be removed. --cesarb 03:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Should the most appropriate action be asking the administrator to set the page as "protected" due to multiple vandalism? --Hurricane111 02:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually, there isn't that much vandalism compared to some pages. We are generally reluctant to protect pages for extended periods of time so that well meaning editors can have as much of a go as possible at improving them. We'll usually block the vandal instead for ever increasing amounts of time, up to indefinitely, if they insist on continuing. We usually only protect a real article temporarily in special circumstances (hordes of vandals all editing at the same time, usually), and never permanently. --Fire Star 02:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. The anonymous user claiming to be Ashida Kim just blanked the Ashida Kim article. This is vandalism, and will not help your cause. Perhaps you were just testing how quickly vandalism would be reverted? Pburka 03:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - over 17,000 Google hits. --Ixfd64 05:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

You keep saying if the page gets too many edits it will be protected or removed. But when someone tries to edit it, you blame ME and say it won't help? Once again, I have proven that you are a prejudiced bunch of trolls who refuse to play by your own rules. BTW CesarB TAKE OUT ALL THE NAMES! TAKE DOWN THE WHOLE DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT IS PURE TRIPE. Just like this one is. --Ashida Kim

• Comment. This either a trolling or a publicity stunt and you're all giving it a boost by voting to keep the article. And is 15,000 or so Google hits really surprising for an Internet charlatan? / Peter ^Isotalo 12:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

And, just to show how "fair and balanced" this forum is, I have so far had five of my associates who came here to post votes for deletion who have had their votes deleted and their IPs blocked. --Ashida Kim

What five votes? I've looked at the history of this page, and can't find any deleted votes; there's one vote by an anonymous user who's been blocked for vandalism, which was later marked as such by another user (but not deleted). *Dan T.* 14:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. What a load of cheats and liars you are. There is no more User Page for Ashida Kim, proving that, as I said before, YOU closed it. Every time one of my friends comes here to cast a vote for deletion they are blocked and their vote deleted. You say that if a page comes under an edit war you will close it, but whenever anyone tries to edit it you revert and block their IP. You even accuse me of doing it and prevent me from making any more entries on the AfD page. See boys, this is a rigged game. Just like I said it was. You refuse to play by your own rules. So stop pretending you are on some "noble mission" to save the world from mean old Ashida. There is an old Gaelic saying, "Them that don't like us, may God turn their hearts, and if he can't turn their hearts may he turn their ankles so we will know them by their limping." That is why you boys are lame ass trolls, LOL --Ashida Kim

Actually, User:Ashida Kim is where it always was, so I have no idea what you're whining about. *Dan T.* 15:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I've mentioned that to our friend several times. I've used small, easy to understand words and gave simple, clear directions on how to access the link (see above) and yet he repeatedly ignores its existence. Perhaps he put a ninja invisibility spell on himself? --Fire Star 20:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I had this posted right in my user page not long ago. An exact copy of the rant above.

Peter ^Isotalo 22:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep. Ashida Kim is very notable in martial arts circles. If the article is biased or otherwise incorrect (I have no opinion on this), then it should be fixed, not deleted. -- Ashenai 15:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey DanT, you and your clowns can take things down and put them up at will. I don't see you denying any of the other charges. According to troll logic that means I'm right. I say again, look at the votes to keep. Almost all of them are for vindictive reasons, just to aggravate me is the main theme. Can't you see a pattern of abuse here? I ask you again, if I am so insignificant, why do you insist on maintaining this pillory, trash and bash site? Just for meanness. Just because you love to make me waste my time arguing with you when you are as biased as a Congressional committee. You're going to keep on hounding me as long as you can get away with it. But, I am showing everyone who comes to your silly ass site what a prejudiced bunch of punks you are. So just keep it up! --Ashida Kim

Um... are you addressing me with this? I don't even know who Dan T is. I don't think you're insignificant. If you were, I'd have voted to delete this article. I believe you are notable, notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia. Whether you want to be on Wikipedia or not is pretty much immaterial. All that counts is whether you're notable enough or not. Though naturally, as a very highly privileged source of information regarding yourself, your input into the article is very much valued! --Ashenai 20:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, appears to be a notable figure within his field. Also, please move some of these comments to the discussion page. Hall Monitor 21:27, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, The article is short on facts and seems to generate a lot of controversy. If the guy is really famous and genuine then in a years time it will reappear. Lukeisham 12:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

To be fair, the article has been being altered recently by (presumably) Ashida Kim's friends. There is a less POV version that was originally posted for AfD that I and others restore when we can, which may be more edifying. --Fire Star 12:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, seems to be a notable figure. As for personal information being visible in the previous edits, guess what, a simple google search does the same with 245 results for "Ashida Kim" Radford Davis [1]. N.B. And spamming userpages is not acceptable. -feydey 12:41, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, I am in support of Ashida Kim and his reasons for wanting the article to be removed. I also believe whole heartedly that if the person which the article is about wishes it to be taken down, you should respect their wishes. There's freedom of press and then invasion of privacy and utter dis-respect. Please try and be considerate towards the victims here. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.95.203 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 20 September 2005

• Delete, I am in support of Ashida Kim and what he teaches as well. Some may misinterpret what is being taught, yet on the other hand people like Harunaka Hoshino, Ronald Duncan, Stephan Hayes, and Massaki Hatsumi are allowed to teach similar methods and no one goes after them. Maybe if you guys actually were serious martial artsits that experimented with the fighting arts more you would see the jewels within. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.12.116.139 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 20 September 2005(Please note: this IP address is an IP address that has made edits signed "Ashida Kim.") *Dan T.* 00:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, for the record, I am a professional martial arts teacher who has trained for many years around the world, especially in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and I'm not afraid of ninjas. This debate isn't a debate on whether Kim is really a ninja or if he is a crook or not (we'll let verifiable sources say that, not us), but on whether he is notable enough for an encyclopaedia entry. The answer seems to be yes. --Fire Star 01:09, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Ashida Kim is martial artist that is

both world renown for his work in both theater, and in the ring. The influence Ashida Kim has contributed to culture, and lives is too noteworthy to be erased. --Masssiveego 06:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable crackpot. Handle the article and his vandalism just like Sollog was dealt with. jni 12:44, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. SOunds like many of you are jealous. You keep mentioning how well known and popular Master Kim is. That is enough in my book to warrant removal of this article. Here's the kicker, I'm not even a ninja, I am a Chinese Internal Arts instructor, but I do believe that Master Kim, as any one else in the world has the right to live his life. By keeping this article you have infringed on one of every persons most basic rights: To keep slanderous and libelous statements from tarnishing one's character. Which in turn disallows them to go where and as they will as well as disallowing them to operate a business. This article is based on speculation, there are not enough facts contained in it to allow it to remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.12.116.139 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 September 2005(Please note: this IP address is an IP address that has made edits signed "Ashida Kim.") --Ashenai 16:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I didn't say it was made by Ashida Kim. I said it was made by an IP address (64.12.116.139) who also made edits signed "Ashida Kim". Here, have a look. If this person was you, then you should either stop editing Wikipedia from the same IP address used by trolls, or you need to stop signing your comments with other people's names.

• Delete. I honestly do not think this is worth keeping and, given this individual's systemic attacks on this site and its users, he needs to be shown the same door as Shawn Mikula and "Indigo Genius." This guy has been absolutely flooding my e-mail with the same kinds of bombastic attacks he's been posting here. I had never even heard of him or this article before he started in on me. Tried to help him and all he could do was to keep on yelling and screaming about how "rigged" Wikipedia is. I finally had to tell him to take a hike. - Lucky 6.9 17:14, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete but not because the subject wants it so. It seems to me that it is sufficient to mention this hoaxter/mountebank in an article on "neo-ninja" or "belt factory," rather than to break him out to his own. Break outs on people should arguably be biographies, and there is no biography to provide on a fictional front for a commercial enterprise. At any rate, although I see the person's notoriety being substantial within a community, I don't see its being sufficient for a solo article on this particular entity. (N.b. I am saying that he should be discussed, but in miniature, in a discussion of other charlatans.) Geogre 13:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep -- though I agree with Geogre on basic principle, I don't think his points add up to a solid argument in favor of deletion (Wikipedia is not paper and all). Ashida Kim seems to be a notable crackpot within his field, so he warrants an article. In addition, sanction the user signing as "Ashida Kim" for disruption of process.

      • Clicking a link just to get a sub-stub that easily fits in the main article is a waste of time both to the average reader as well as the editor who has to keep an eye on the article. A lose/lose situation with only inclusionist dogma to keep it afloat. / Peter ^Isotalo 18:14, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • This isn't about inclusionism, since the information is preserved whether merged or not. The "average reader" of Solomon Islands saves time by not having to download and then skip over irrelevant detail. Kappa
• Keep, it's been expanded to contain a significant amount of info, which in my opinion is enough for a seperate article just like all the other articles in Category:Public holidays by country. Merging would only clutter up the article. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• I've said it before - creating a nonsense article for a genuinely notable person, which then gets deleted as nonsense so that later iterations of the article will get speedied as "recreations of previously-deleted articles", is a very subtle form of vandalism.

[edit] Daily Nexus

I'm not entirely convinced that college newspapers are sufficiently notable and thought I'd submit this to the community for discussion. --Alan Au 01:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• I feel this is a worthwhile contribution, as it's a longstanding paper that's been producing daily news for the last 35 years. This is no flash-in-the-pan publication, but an institution that has eeked into national news more than once. Aside from that, the paper is the primary news service for people living in and around Isla Vista, California. It has a daily circulation of 20,000. So in that light, I feel that the Daily Nexus is entirely deserving of an entry. --Kidicarus222 04:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scaffold (GNOME)

Odd and misleading title (a Pillory is not strictly speaking a Scaffold, and what does GNOME mean in this context), and there are many instances of such structurres other than in The Scarlet Letter. Delete I don't think this contnet would be useful to merge into The Scarlet Letter, but that is the only plausible place if it were to be retained. DES ^(talk) 01:26, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. I believe that GNOME is refering to the GNU Network Object Model Environment, which contains a "scaffold" module. However, this article does nothing to explain that. My guess is that it was created as part of an effort to fill in redlinks, as the page is linked to from a handful of other articles. --Alan Au 01:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• You are quite correct. This article links to List of GNOME applications. It is clear the contributor either did not know that or chose to ignore it. Since the title and the contents are not congruent, I suggest it be deleted. Denni☯ 02:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Saturday Night Live Number 466

Out of hundreds upon hundreds of SNL episodes, this one (plus one other) has a page for some reason. Both episodes aren't especially notable, and both are now on AfD as well as the rather perplexing list of SNL episodes. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 02:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm not happy that any individual epsiode has an article, but there is still a sliding scale of inclusionability (is that a word? It is now!). A episode of the six o'clock news wouldn't make it on here, an episode of buffy would, things fall in between. This, to my mind, is not suited towards inclusion.

[edit] Open-mind

Dictionary definition, and a terrible one at that, so perhaps not suited for wiktionary. I can't picture this being expanded into an encyclopedic topic. Bunchofgrapes 03:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless someone comes up with a useful redirect. Jkelly 03:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

There's already an entry at Wiktionary. --TM ^(talk) 05:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect per Cryptic. / Peter ^Isotalo 17:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect this and open mind to The Open Mind. Deletion is acceptable too; this is an unexpandable dictdef. No need to transwiki; Wiktionary already has open mind and open-minded. —Cryptic (talk) 16:58, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect per above. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ _{(Contributions)} 23:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect → Tolerance, perhaps? The subject and what is known and written of the psychological phenomena of open-mindedness would be encyclopedic, but the article as it stands is just useless. --Mysidia (talk) 02:24, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • That would either be an essay or an expanded dicdef, Mysidia. The Open Mind is the obvious article to redirect to. Anything else would be blurring the distinction between Wiktionary and Wikipedia. / Peter ^Isotalo 12:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AmericanSights

Article states this is describing a "small group on "Yahoo!.com" [sic]. Clearly non-notable.

  • I'm sticking with the merge vote, though I wouldn't oppose making it its own article if the band's article starts getting long.

• Nominator Comment: Yeah, I goofed, thought "The Funeral Sciences" was the band name. My vote is now merge, per Idont Havaname. --Bunchofgrapes 04:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents#Music. Albums have their own page. If someone wants to nominate the actual band for deletion then this page would also be deleted as a matter of course. But until then it should be treated like any other album. --TM ^(talk) 04:22, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Thousands of sporting contests are played every day all over the world, but for some reason English cricket matches are considered notable. I think maybe this should be one of the Centralized Discussions and not just individual AfDs. There is absolutely nothing encyclopedic about a report of a minor sporting match.

  • This is becoming seriously annoying. We have had many discussions over this. I can recall five off the top of my head. The end result was "no consensus".

Shortly, at the end of the English cricket season, they will be merged into relevant articles. In the meantime, they are being transcluded onto various other pages so we have something on these pages. This accounts for the odd formatting. Thus they will not stand forever as articles in their own right. On the other hand, it's true, it's verifiable. Why delete? [[Sam Korn]] 19:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Sigh. Perhaps the fact that you are getting lots of AfDs on this matter is a sign you are doing something wrong? The idea of keeping temporary articles on something that are later merged and deleted is definitely non-standard practice. One thing to do is to keep them on temporary pages outside of the main wiki space. I struck out my delete vote, but please think about these things next time. Sdedeo 20:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Maybe it's a sign that what we're (sorry, Sam Vimes and jguk with our support) doing is controversial and unusual. Non-standard, certainly. But what's so wrong with that? [[Sam Korn]] 20:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Besides, where would we "ask for permission" to do such a thing? It's a wiki. There's no one holy god to ask permission for every single gritty thing we want to do. If we did it on the Village pump, people might argue that "oh, not everyone reads that stuff" and list it on AfD anyway. Sam Vimes 20:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Not really being critical, and definitely IAR, I agree. You can probably avoid all these annoying AfDs from people who aren't up to speed if in the future you put them in a temp space, e.g., User:Sam Korn/Northamptonshire v Somerset 29 June 2005. It is very unusual for articles to be created in the main space with the expectation that they will later be deleted -- hence all the delete votes from people who think it's a permanent article. All the best, Sdedeo 20:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
          • Cheers. Trouble was, we actually did that originally, and it gave problems with mirror pages such as answers.com, so they were moved into the main namespace. Definitely something to think about for 2006, though. Sam Vimes 20:59, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Would you argue that the 2005 English cricket season is non-notable? If so, sorry for wasting your time. If not, then these articles are valuable in creating the pages on the 2005 English cricket season, since it eases the strain on editors and creates good summary pages from different perspectives, as I have outlined above. Some might come here to see how the Twenty20 Cup went, others would perhaps have an interest in how Somerset's season were. That's how these articles are structured - and just FYI, WikiProject Cricket were planning to merge them into the consistuent articles once the season was over. 19:46, 18 September 2005 (UTC) (preceding unsigned comment by Sam Vimes (talk · contribs) 19:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC))

• Strong Keep We have discussed this before and agreed keep each time. Remember that this article is part of a series about the 2005 English cricket season. Effectively WP:Cricket is creating an almanack that will, in time, exceed Wisden in depth (though probably not renown). It's an excellent source that I use myself for checking on the season.

    • So why these articles weren't transwikied to Wikinews? They'd like them there very much. Problem solved. Cricket fans can do their original reporting and Wikipedia gets free of this POV ridden stuff. Also there was never a consensus on keeping these articles. Ask any Wikipedian not affiliated with cricket what he thinks about it? He'll probably say: original reporting, not suited for Wikipedia. And he'll be right.  Grue  14:54, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
      • No, they wouldn't like them very much, because of licensing problems. Unless the writer of the articles (well, ok, me) agreed to license the articles in the public domain. As for "original reporting"? The policy is: "The phrase "original research" in this context refers to [...] data, statements, concepts and ideas that have not been published in a reputable publication'". The data it is based on is published in a reputable publication, and even linked to in the article. Of course it has to be rephrased and put it in a new form, otherwise someone would slap a copyvio on the page! As for "ask any Wikipedian not affiliated with cricket what he thinks about it" - that's how TWO successive VfDs have ended in keeps, with many votes from people not even on WP:Cricket?

  • Comment. I think this may reveal one of the reasons we're having difficulty reaching consensus either way on this issue. I suspect people who are voting "obvious delete" are thinking in terms of this one article standing on its own. Whereas people who are voting "keep" are thinking in terms of the season reviews that these articles will make up. See the Centralized discussion for more on this point.

• Keep because this is an elementary school which is notable. The statement that "all other elementary schools normally get erased" is patently false. Evidence of the contrary is clearly documented at Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Votes for deletion archive and User:GRider/Schoolwatch/Archive. There only appear to be 2 elementary schools deleted since improvement efforts targeting school-related articles began in March 2005. Two elementary school articles deleted, out of roughly 180 school-related pages nominated for deletion. I do believe you are right on one point though; the outcome here will be no different.

  • Actually, with Tony having abandoned the Schoolwatch program as well as his not voting or improving school articles, elementary schools are in great short-term danger on an article-by-article basis.

The elementary school nearby got about 2000 students but that doesn't mean it is still notable. There should be a limit on schools I belive.

I'm amazed at the staggering presumption of people who believe that because something is of no importance to them, personally, now, it is never going to have any significance to anyone, ever. As Wikipedia editors we have a responsibility to future historians, social scientists and our descendants to document precisely this sort of data as a record of our times.--Gene_poole 04:46, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I asked you whether it was of importance to you; you didn't answer. I'm amazed at the staggering presumption of people who think they know what future historians and social scientists will care about (our ancestors certainly didn't), and at the gall to assume that Wikipedia must be hijacked to serve the needs of future historians. I'm sure if they want to know about the school system, there's a Department of Education report that gives more useful information then Wikipedia, and that for every school. Personally, I think that future historians might be very intersted in garage bands and what they mean about the role and level of average people as artistic creators, and find it much harder to get their hands on the information. But I don't think that's a hole that Wikipedia is designed to fill.--Prosfilaes 12:46, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid your comments betray a rather limited understanding of the social sciences, and the historic foundation and purpose of encyclopedism. --Gene_poole 23:04, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

      • I don't that the cost of hard drive space is very significant at 2 million words per penny. If school articles have no edits, they won't bload the recent changes list, if they do have edits, people will fix any vandalism. Kappa 09:16, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
        • It's 2 million words per penny only if you don't care about your data or the speed of I/O. RAIDed SCSI drives, for a server like Wikipedia, cost a lot more. And how will they fix vandalism? If I start Joe Mercer Elementary School and write that it's in Alva, Oklahoma, what are the odds that any of the one or two Wikipedians that know anything about elementary schools in Alva, Oklahoma will notice and fix it? What if I change something on Crescent Park Elementary School long after this VfD has been forgotten, say the number of students, how many people will know whether it's correct or not?--Prosfilaes 12:55, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, it's a little elementary school. It's nothing to do with the servers or 'clogging things up', it's the vague and fading dream that Wikipedia should actually have some kind of quality control, ensuring only things that are encyclopaedic have, you know, an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is NOT Everything2. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Wikipedia is not toilet paper. Sadly, too many Wikipedians really, really want to see Wikipedia regurgitate every inconsequential, non-notable, unimportant collection of four walls and a roof back onto the internet. It does no harm for these 'articles' to exist? Today schools, tomorrow every church, every branch of McDonalds, every pub, every telegraph pole, every field, and so on, ad nauseum. A line needs to be drawn. The only people that would care about this information (the good people of Bethel, Maine) would already have it. Grrrrargh. Proto t c 09:45, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

    • What on earth does this mean? "We need more votes"??? You've already expressed your opinions above. There is no concensus on school articles and the vast majority survive the AfD process. There are plenty of AfD nominations for schools every week that clearly demonstrate this to be the case. Some bizarre statement that "we need more votes" is truly baffling.

A lot of verbiage without alleging any notability. 20 unique Google hits. 17 unique hits for "N'wenglish". User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• The Google groups hits are all to one group. This does not establish notability. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't deny that most of the hits are to alt.ascii-art, but far from all are. Also note that it meets both the alternate and the "alternate alternate" proposals on WP:COMIC; it has been on the web for more than four years, has over 600 strips, and was not written by the comic's creator. —Cryptic (talk) 13:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I think you're letting your preference for either web comics or this particular web comic cloud your judgement, Cryptic. Anything web based that has been around for four years and doesn't manage to amass more than 1,000 Google hits is inherently obscure and non-notable. This is no better than all those garage bands who try to convince us to keep their vanity pages. / Peter ^Isotalo 15:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure how Zoe narrowed her search, but a bare "Nerd Boy" gets 62,700, 669 of which are unique. Obviously not all are relevant, but the comic does get the #1 hit. —Cryptic (talk) 15:25, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

  • We're voting on whether it deserves an encyclopedic article, not whether either a certain web comic or web comic in general are bad.

      • How about you explain to us why 166 Google hits is enough to call a web comic notable instead? / Peter ^Isotalo 15:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
        • To clarify my earlier comment: I was actually about to vote delete until I looked at the comics strips, I was really impressed and decided that it deserves an encyclopedic article. --Vsion 16:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The idea that notability can be obtained via Google Groups results is mindboggling; by that standard, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm more notable than this is. Searching for "Nerd Boy" by itself is not exactly germane to the discussion; even in the realm of webcomics, it's more notable as a catchphrase in Sluggy Freelance. -Sean Curtin 23:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It's popular on Usenet because it was posted in Usenet. It's ASCII art, man. It can be posted in text newsgroups, like alt.ascii-art. I can post a message there and this vote would be swamped by thousands of Nerd Boy fans (by the way, search for "nerdboy" as well for more hits). Internet is not only World Wide Web but also other networks. Wikipedia shouldn't limit itself to WWW when describing various Internet phenomena.  Grue  13:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Please explain how comic translated into two languages by fans is "nn". It would be funny that Polish and Swedish Wikipedias have an article about Nerd Boy, while English doesn't.  Grue  16:51, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a notable usenet comic, and has also a notable fan-base. I would attempt to use Google's Search facility correctly to those Deletionists who have no clue: i.e. TYPE IN "Nerd Boy web comic" and presto: Nerd Boy on GooglePiecraft 02:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I assume you're not being serious. That's a search for each word separately. Applying that technique would make anything look super-notable. The proper search is +"Nerd Boy" +"web comic". / Peter ^Isotalo 21:38, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I think it's part of internet history now, like maybe bastard operator from hell. Btw, judging something by "google hits" and "alexa ranking" reminds me Asimov's Fundation; i remember paragraph about research. Janusz 07:03, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I believe it's quite well known. I also think it's more of a usenet comic than a webcomic; that sets it apart from most of the other webcomics here. It's also one of the very few ascii art webcomics; that should also counts for something. Oliphaunt 19:09, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Bartending Wikibook or delete. I'm calling Uncle G to resolve this. — Phil Welch 00:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• It's a cocktail recipe plus the claimed name of its inventor and some alternative names. The article tells us that this cocktail was invented some three weeks ago. Google turns up nothing, there's nothing by this name in any of my cocktail recipe books, and the article of course cites no sources. As far as Wikipedia goes, this therefore appears to be original research — the promulgation of a new cocktail using Wikipedia.

  Wikibooks has a no original research policy as well. (See What is Wikibooks?.) Although it is (for obvious reasons) a strict one when it comes to educational textbooks, there is little precedent for its application to recipes. Given the problems with this recipe, I haven't transwikified it. Instead, I've left a note on the talk page for the Cocktails section of the Bartending wikibook. This is only worth transwikification if any of the Wikibooks editors dealing with that book, having read this discussion, express a desire to have this recipe.

We have debated this before and agreed (well, mostly agreed), that since this is a convenient method for writing the season wrap-ups for each team and competition while the season is in progress, it should stay until the season is over at least. (yes, I'm the original author). And the 2005 English cricket season in itself is notable, as can be seen by its coverage on BBC. Sam Vimes 07:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I can guarantee it's not a first-hand report. The author is Norweigan. [[Sam Korn]] 18:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • The article presents itself as a first-hand report, and does not identify a source for the report other than itself, which is what matters, regardless of the nationality of the editor who wrote the text. Another issue, which is verifiability -- articles on Wikipedia need to cite sources; Wikipedia's not the place to put original research, essays, etc -- any major point of views mentioned ultimately need a a source, and things like firsthand reports have a problem here, as well. Wikipedia's role is to document the notable points of view, not to form or describe new opinions about subjects written about in articles, but this article cites no source for the description given, only a stray link to score numbers. --Mysidia (talk) 22:39, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • On the contrary, that link entirely verifies the entire article. It may not be clear to someone who doesn't understand exactly how cricket works, but that isn't our fault. The information is true, the information is verifiable. It is even going to be merged soon. Are you going to continue to ignore that fact? [[Sam Korn]] 22:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Oh really, what verifies this statement: Northamptonshire Steelbacks got themselves into a commanding position before rain intervened at Sophia Gardens? --Mysidia (talk) 00:36, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
          • It is verified by the scorecard - they scored 282 runs in the space of 45 overs - which, FYI, is a fairly high score in cricket. Glamorgan then scored much slower, and lost a wicket, hence the commanding position. Sam Vimes 05:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Is Wikipedia to be cluttered up with every non-notable local sports result in the world? How many of the Keep's above are neutral and not cricket fans? Anthony Appleyard 18:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It's true. It's verifiable. It's going to be merged into a bigger article soon enough. What are people's issues with these pages? As for the neutrality thing, anyone is allowed to place their comments on an AfD nomination. It just happens that many of these nominations have happened before, so cricket fans on Wikipedia are used to coming together to deal with this kind of stuff. Neutrality is quite clearly not an issue. If users were neutral, after all, they wouldn't have an opinion to keep or to delete! (I jest, by the way—I know you meant that the above users are biased.) What harm does keeping this article do? [[Sam Korn]] 18:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If all those cricket scores get Merge it is ok for me and i willing to change my vote. I know for sure that most of those games should not have a individual article. --Aranda56 19:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes, they will get merged, and soon. That isn't, by the way, as a consequence of AfD decisions, rather because that was always what was going to happen. [[Sam Korn]] 19:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I am willing to help with the merge but how? I dont know much about cricket so I dont know how to merge those types of articles. --Aranda56 20:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • They need to be merged in a particularly sympathetic way. Don't worry, Wikiproject Cricket will sort it all out! They need to be merged in different ways for different articles, to make the whole page work together. You needn't worry about helping, as it's a job for someone who knows about cricket! Best, [[Sam Korn]] 20:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

    • Why, as a matter of fact I have, and if you have read my comment in the other AfD, I have no idea, beyond a personal attack, why you would believe my position is "ignorant". What no one has convinced me of is why Wikipedia should contain reports of daily ordinary sports events in general, or that English league cricket match results are notable in specific, regardless of whether they are in their own articles, merged into a big article, or whatever. There are far better ways of organizing and presenting this material on the Web; create a SportsWiki or a CricketWiki, but please don't clutter Wikipedia with daily sports results. -- MCB 02:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Effectively WP:Cricket is creating an almanack that will, in time, exceed Wisden in depth (though probably not renown). It's an excellent source that I use myself for checking on the season. Series of articles such as this are good for Wikipedia - and isn't that what we're all here for - improving WP? jguk 18:11, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Disturbing to say the least. If WP:Cricket wants to be taken seriously, I suggest you first lobby for some sort of cricket clause in the official policy. Doing it this way is not improving WP; it's creating an internal CricketPedia without establishing a reasonable consensus. We have WikiCities for those sort of things. / Peter ^Isotalo 20:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Nonsense. One of WP's strongest points (and one of the reasons for its great success) is its willingness to accept all information. Consider how we're a great resource for Pokemon information, and info on Star Trek. There's even a Klingon WP! This sort of in depth info is what makes WP great. If you don't want to read this section, that's fine - but it's useful info for those who do want to read it, jguk 20:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Jon is quite right. I also would note that WikiCities would not allow a wiki that covers area that Wikipedia could also cover. Your two points: creating an internal CricketPedia without establishing a reasonable consensus see WP:BOLD; I suggest you first lobby for some sort of cricket clause in the official policy oh come on. We are no more special than anyone else. I don't mind any subject having this kind of in-depth topic, even Pokemon.

• Of course it doesn't since this was once a secret art; there are't yet many informations about this in the internet. There was an article like this in the German Wikipedia that was (insolently) deleted even though many of my German colleagues told the administration that it was no fake. I find it rather disturbing that it is still not accepted. So how many more people have to come and tell you that we're not faking around?

[edit] Fox News liberal

This article should be deleted because it is a neologism. That is, the article defines a phrase "fox news liberal", but I find no google results which use use the phrase as a cohesive whole as described in the article. For example, there appear resuts such as "Colmes is the Fox News liberal counterpoint to Hannity". I also find no use of the term desribe someone who is or was not literally on Fox News (whereas the article's point is to describe a phrase which could be applied to those not literally on Fox News). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.147.125 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Democrat in Name Only. Article was nominated VFD by someone without an account. While that is not forbidden, it is possible that a political bias could be present. That being said, however, I agree that the article does not appear much on a google search. However, since the article is already referenced at political locations such as dKosopedia, it is likely that the term may not be a "neologism", but a term whose use is on the increase. To me, merging with the DINO article seems to be the most sensible course of action.--Mitsukai 04:13, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This article is copied from dKosopedia. That text is also under the GFDL, but Wikipedia's article should cite the source. Also, we should make sure that the term appears in places other than dKos, as it might have been invented by that article's writer. Twinxor t 05:25, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Is it copied from dKosopedia? A cursory look that I took made me think this was the older article (though it was a cursory look; I may have erred). It could very well be a neologism, if that's the case.--Mitsukai 13:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with DINO. After looking at the situation surrounding Cindy Sheehan, I agree. There is political bias among the writers. This article is either a Keep or Merge. It doesn't really matter to me that people have favorable or unfavorable support for our President and anyone in politics. But it would be fair to keep a neutral stance to addressing people. And let's not put too much NPOV for certain names. I mean when I first done it, I thought it was just point out O'Reilly and Dean, but nowadays I refuse to use that tag-line unless describing a hot-button issue. LILVOKA 14:33 26, August 2005 (UTC)

I think without citations, it should be considered a neologism and there should be no article titled "Fox News liberal" i.e it should be deleted. I think most or all of the content could probably be merged somewhere else, (DINO seems reasonable), and the term could perhaps even be discussed after the manner some have used the term "Fox News liberal" to describe … or the even weaker: could be described as a "Fox News liberal.

The result of the debate was MERGE to Tree (mythology). Not that I have the foggiest what "deciduous" means, but the consensus is clear enough, and both articles are in the form of lists, not prose, so merging should be easy enough. — JIP | Talk 19:14, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deciduous Trees (mythology)

This is very cleanly done, but it doesn't seem to be, well, to be saying very much. There are trees in various mythologies, yes, but the fact that they're deciduous trees doesn't really play a part. If it grows Magical Apples, then the relevant part is that it's an Apple tree, not that apple trees are deciduous. Also, maybe it's part of the magic/religiosity/whatever that this particular tree isn't deciduous? Unless the story specifies, we can't know either way. It'd be like assessing the blood types of mythological figures based on the predominant blood types of the ethnic groups in which the mythologies arose. DS 13:58, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nicely done but seems like a "novel interpretation", ie. original research. Kappa 15:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete or merge with Tree (mythology). Pburka 15:37, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment:If there was a myth where the fact that trees lost their leaves and regrew them was significant, and I'm sure there must be, it would be worth mentioning somewhere. Kappa
• Merge with Tree (Mythology) as per Pburka above. Jkelly 16:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Tree (mythology)--AYArktos 00:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with Kappa's most recent comment above. I give little attention to myths and legends so I don't have any good examples coming to mind. I'm not sure this title is a better place than a subsection within a mythology article or the one cited by Pburka. Barno 07:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

comment - If you cannot think of the legend though ... I can't think a legend you can't think of is a reason to keep as opposed to have a section in the existing article. The present article's content does not justify the position.--AYArktos 08:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge per Kappa. Alf ^melmac 11:26, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I would agree to a merge except that I think the information here is very off-base. Since this is an AfD, shouldn't the discussion be centred around whether the information is useful, relevant or accurate? I think this should be deleted because it implies a connection (deciduous) that is simply wrong. True, the trees may be deciduous, but that is not why the cultures mythologised or iconicised them and this suggests otherwise. That is misleading. Dottore So 16:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge ··gracefool |☺ 16:53, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, clearly if anyone knows anything about myths or legends they'd realise these are in fact deciduous as explained by the author. Although I do agree there lacks enough sources for information. Piecraft 01:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

This isn't complete gibberish, so I guess it can't be speedily deleted. It ought to go away, though, leaving no trace. Pilatus 15:39, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - this is an encyclopedia; all bona fide information is appropriate, and the proper threshold for "notability" is "does it exist?". This topic meets both these criteria; therefore, it belongs here. Kurt Weber 15:41, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. "Does it exist?" I'd say no. Unverifiable, probable hoax/joke article. android79 15:49, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It certainly does exist...all that has to be true for a theory to exist is for it to be stated somewhere--and it is at Escalator Productivity. Kurt Weber 16:26, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • If this "scientific theory" exists only on Wikipedia, then it is original research and should be deleted. android79 18:16, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • That it is "original research" is not a valid reason for deletion. The policy may claim otherwise, but the policy is wrong. Kurt Weber 20:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Deletion policy explicitly lists original research as a reason for deletion. No original research is one of Wikipedia's core policies. So are What Wikipedia is not and Verifiability, which this article also fail miserably. I am dumbfounded at the continued defense of what is essentially a joke. If the "policy is wrong," feel free to attempt to change it through consensus. android79 21:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Republican In Name Only

Inherently POV:ed article title that exsists merely to explain that all Republican don't actually live up to the Republican-stereotype. XXX in name only is in no way unique to either the US or US party politics and can be applied to literally any party affiliation, ideology, religious belief or general opinion and would be filled to the brim with POV garbage pretending to be "encyclopedic information" in notime. Naturally, it's also a verifiability nightmare and a breeding ground for political trolls. The Democratic equivalent has been nominated below. Delete per Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine. Peter ^Isotalo 17:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It looks to me like the main purpose of this article is to maintain a "list of enemies." Not very encyclopedic. Also, as long as we're ticking off problems, this is a complete neologism; the term is not, to the best of my knowledge, a term in wide use. Nandesuka 17:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's in fairly wide use among the politicos in the US. It's new-ish, but I think it has probably survived long enough to be a thing referred to by others (i.e. my rule for "appearing in multiple contexts" and not poli-cruft). It's Yet Another Political Acronym, and it's one of those monstrously stupid "meme"s, but it has gotten traction. Geogre 02:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, sigh. This is an extremely current term in the blogosphere and has been around for a long time, at least since 2000. Note that the article is not "Wikipedia's list of Republicans who are not true Republicans". RINO (and DINO) are common terms on the respective blogs like Redstate and the Dailykos -- not to mention the various TV shows and action groups that have also used these exact phrases and are listed in the article. A glance at the articles in question shows that they are well researched, well written, and extensively sourced. Before declaring something "garbage" please consider reading it first. Sdedeo 19:22, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete although I like the sound of Dinos and Rhinos. Dlyons493 19:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. I've seen this term in use in the partisan press, Human Events for instance. It's not a neologism, and it is a term in very wide use. Simply because Wikipedia isn't a propaganda machine doesn't mean Wikipedia shouldn't have articles on notable propaganda terms that have been used in the real as well as virtual press. — Phil Welch 19:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • But it's just a standard phrase applied to the two major political parties. I don't even see it a set term, let alone as an article. Just look at these googlings for communist Christian or even man. Should we expect more of these articles, or are the two biggest US political parties the only exceptions? / Peter ^Isotalo 21:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • IMO, one reasonable test that both these articles pass is that they would be recognized as acronyms: "RINO"/"DINO". There are lots of articles that could be termed "standard phrases" used for POV ends -- e.g., Strategic lawsuit against public participation. Nobody would use "CINO" and expect to be understood. Again, please look at the article, and the references linked. [14], e.g., or [15]. Sdedeo 22:30, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • If you search Google, you'll find a few instances of "LINO"; "labor in name only", so I don't buy that argument. An acronym does not make it unique. I can't comment on the legal article, since I don't know how common the term actually it is. But both the phrase and the entire concept is too common to deserve its own article. This just smacks of US-centrism to me. The goal of the article is also very diffuse and inherently problematic; what defines a Republican in the first place? Is it the party program? The stereotype? Their actions vs. their opinions? This is too slippery an issue for an encyclopedia to be dealing with. If you keep it, people will just keep adding "putative" persons to the list. It wouldn't surprise me if most of Congress winds up there sooner or later. / Peter ^Isotalo 09:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Just to be clear, again, wikipedia is not deciding who is or is not a "RINO"; it is reporting on who has been specifically called that by various pressure groups or partisan journalists. "LINO" may or may not be current (I doubt it) but if LINO starts showing up in press releases from left-wing British pressure groups and in columns by political figures, then by all means we should include it. It doesn't matter if all of Congress eventually gets included -- that would be a fantastically useful list, since the entries would be accompanied by links to the press coverage in question. There are plenty of articles that are prone to people adding "putative" members, but we have ways to deal with vandalism and content disputes. Sdedeo 18:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
          • But that's sooo useless. What's the point of having an article on a term if it turns out to be more or less all-encompassing? That means that Wikipedia "decides" that no Republican is a "real Republican", which is utterly useless to any reader. The article is not going to be taken seriously here. It's going to be a battleground for US party political nonsense. / Peter ^Isotalo 06:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. That the term may have several potential meanings does not mean we can't have an article about the ones that are known to exist in common use. That, after all, is what disambiguation pages are for. NatusRoma 20:16, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: Distastefully ephemeral, but, yes, it is in wide use (much more wide use than DINO). On the other hand, as with DINO, all this "examples of" wiki-itis has got to go. My vote to keep is not in any sense an endorsement of the POV ridiculousness that pollutes articles like this. The article is itself not inherently POV, but some folks need to take the scissors to it or start citing every single usage. Geogre 02:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I don't have a problem with this article. Alf ^melmac 12:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is a term that is in general use, and what is the point of Wikipedia if it can't be used to find out what a term like this means? I came across this article looking for an easy reference to point someone to in a comment on my own blog as an explanation for the term RINO. This isn't just a blogosphere coinage - the citations at the end of the entry show that the term has wider currency in the mainstream media.
  
  That said, the article badly needs editing: it only needs a short summary of what the term means, citations showing its use over the years, etc. I don't see how a long list of "examples of" helps anybody, and the caption to the Giuliani/Powell photograph ("Rudy Giuliani and Colin Powell are widely popular with the American people...") doesn't seem very encyclopedia-ish. --John H 13:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

The subject is not a neologism and the article is as far from propaganda as you can get! — Phil Welch 19:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and clean: It's not much of a term, and it isn't much used. RINO has much more legitimacy in terms of usage, and there are too many possible terms for the sorts of journalistic blackface put on by pretend leftists on the debate-news. It needs to be shorn of all "examples of": that business is inherently POV unless there is a specific reference for each individual one showing where someone other than the article's author had called the person a "DINO."

• Delete. I am reopening this poll because it was closed prematurely, before everyone with an opinion about this matter has expressed his/her views. As such, there is no consensus on whether this article should be kept or deleted. Nor do I think that the situation has been sufficiently explained. Here are three reasons why this article should be deleted:
  1. Precedents. Sarcelles has previously created 4 similar articles: Changchun Public Security Bureau, Tangshan Public Security Bureau, Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau, Lu'an Public Security Bureau. None of those survived VfD, because they were deemed non-notable and POV. It makes little sense for this to be kept.
  2. POV. Sarcelles has a history of starting purely POV articles for the sake of pushing his agenda. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chinese cities for a detailed account of his actions starting from mid-May. Three Wikipedians (User:Abstrakt, User:Miborovsky, and I) are currently considering an RfC or even RfA against him if the situation does not improve quickly, because we are sick and tired of chasing after literally hundreds of his edits, de-POVizing when we can and VfD'ing when his creations are unsalvageable. This article is an example of that.
  3. Non-notable. There are 300+ prefectures or equivalents in China, Bengbu being one of them. Bengbu itself is an unremarkable city in Anhui province. Its public security bureau is, in turn, one of dozens of bureaus in its bureaucracy. There is absolutely nothing sufficiently remarkable about it to warrant an article at this point in time. The same goes for the other 4 articles that were already deleted.

  As such, this article should be deleted. -- ran (talk) 02:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - I saw Sarcelles Falun Gong pushing articles earlier. Should be deleted. It's not like its as notable as a primary school is it? Maybe it should be in mentioned or listified in some sort of Police Hierarchy in China article - Hahnchen 02:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. nonnotable. mikka (t) 03:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Should be merged into a bigger article until it needs breaking out, but none of the reasons given here for not even mentioning it is actually compelling. Number of entities is absolutely not a good criterion for deletion. There are how many species on this planet? Grace Note 05:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

  Where should this article be merged to? Which sentence of this article, except the last one, even provides unique and encyclopedic information? The police department of Bengbu is located in Bengbu, and is in charge of the polic there... and it has detention centers! The last sentence is unique and encyclopedic, but there's already an article on the dissident; we don't need a 2nd article just to say who detained him.

  As such, there isn't even anything here to merge into any other articles. This article should be deleted outright. -- ran (talk) 05:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

  Honestly there is little information other than the location and that it is a government office handling policing. Until I can see a better reason for keeping this article, my vote is unchanged. Delete Abstrakt

• Keep, since we can say something specific about this particular PSB. Anyone researching it would not appreciate being redirected to Zhang Lin. Kappa 06:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I could also say something about my neighbourhood police kiosk, how it arrested 2 students for drinking and driving... Notable? I think not. The chance of someone researching is, as much as the chance that someone would be researching the above-stated kiosk. --Miborovsky 07:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• I don't think a prefecture branch of the PSB bears any comparison to a local police kiosk, nor does arresting an internationally known dissent compare with arresting students for drinking and driving. Kappa

• Well how an internationally known athlete? How about I start an article on the police station whose officers arrested Micheal Phelps for drunk driving?

If you are an expert than feel free to give us tips on how to expand. Like ran and Mib have already pointed out, there isn't anything else in this article to expand upon. And I'm opposed to the idea of merging this information into the Bengbu article because that would be doing what Sarcelles once did, and that was making assinine edits on Chinese city article to make the main focus about prisons and police. Abstrakt 14:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Anyone researching it would not appreciate being redirected to Zhang Lin. — Then this researcher would find out absolutely no new info about the Bengbu PSB from this article.

Look, if you guys want to start a WikiProject to describe every single bureau of every single prefecture and county in China (~50 x ~5000 = 250000 new articles), then please go ahead. If I can start, say, Hulan County Forestry Department or Haidong Prefecture Education Bureau, and write a useless subsubstub article that goes "The Haidong Prefecture Education Bureau is located in Haidong, Qinghai, and is in charge of education there. [end]", and get away with it, then please keep this article too. But until you decide to do that, this article should be deleted.

[edit] Maserati-Lamborghini

There is no evidence of this team or any of the associated people existing [16] [17] [18]. Furthermore, the idea that Maserati (who were owned by Ferrari) should be setting up a team in co-operation with Ferrari's rival Lamborghini is nonsense. » Christopher | Talk | 18:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per above. And why on earth would Alonso want to go to a completely new team with unknown engineers? It's most unlikely that engineers good enough to work in F1 would be completely unknown, and in any case Alonso will almost certainly at least a one-time World Champion by 2007. Finally, the article states that "The team hopes to compete in 2007, but stay anonymous until 2005". That makes no sense at all - like the article as a whole.

• DELETE this is insane. Ferrari owns Maserati, not Lamborghini. All three make engines and chassis, so this link-up doesn't make sense in that context either. Why would Ferrari compete with itself, especially with Lamborghini? 132.205.94.34 22:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Leave it. I come from the same community as Cameron Allan and have been fortunate enough to meet him a few times. Throughout much of New Zealand his accomplishments as Head Student and Student Representative on the Board of Trustees are held in great esteem. I know the author of the article, a young writer Thomas Anderson, who is by all accounts a fair and unbiased writer. On a world scale Allan may not be "notable” but in New Zealand, particularly in the Horowhenua, he is held in the highest regard.

[edit] Juan Manuel Abras

Vanity page. Asserts notability as a conductor, so can't be speedied under A7. --Blackcap | talk 20:44, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. You know this how? Kurt Weber 20:46, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Furthermore, simply being a "vanity page" does not qualify it for deletion. The proper standard for notability is "does it exist?". Kurt Weber 20:47, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Looking at WP:VAIN, I would have to disagree with that. In the given example, no one is doubting that Mr. Bloggs exists, but that he's notable. --Blackcap | talk 20:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • If he exists, then he is notable, regardless of any assertions policy may make to the contrary--if it makes such assertions, then policy is wrong. Kurt Weber 21:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Forgive me if I am wrong, but is it your belief that every existing human being is notable enough to warrant a WP entry? That's extreme inclusionism, and goes against any WP policy or guidelines on the subject. If that is your feeling, then I suggest that you take it up on WP:DP. However, here isn't the place for policy change, just for whether or not this is an article worthy of keeping. --Blackcap | talk 21:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
          • It certainly is extreme inclusionism...and yes, policy is wrong. And you're right, this is a discussion of whether or not the article is worthy of keeping--and it IS worthy of keeping. Kurt Weber 21:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. The "Theodor-Körner Prize" that is mentioned in the article is really more like a stipend; it is not awarded for a completed work, but to enable the scientist or artist to complete it: (German description). In 2005 there were 47 recipients of the prize (see [20], again in German). Each recipient gets between 1500 and 3000 Euro. -- Austrian 22:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The article is about Classical Music, not Pop Music. You can find information about "Juan Manuel Abras" through looking at specialized and renown international Classical Music databases (notability is required form being there; not "everybody" is listed) like the Music Infomation Center Austria (MICA) or the Gaudeamus Foundation Contemporary Music Center. Therefore, why shouldn't you be able to find such information through looking at Wikipedia? Of course the article is worth of keeping! I would encourage users like ESkog, Dottore So and Zoe (see previous posts) not to comment topics that are outside their field of knowledge,instead of posting erratic opinions on serious matters like Classical Music. Dr. Zotrix 23:03, 24 September 2005 (UTC) _{- User's first edit. --Blackcap | talk 04:12, 25 September 2005 (UTC)}

Which makes it unspeedieable, but not un-AfD-able. See WP:DP. --Blackcap | talk 04:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

And anyway, where does it establish notability? See WP:MUSIC. --Blackcap | talk 04:17, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Kurt Weber and Zotrix. You are right, Blackcap: besides the article's style, it's the biography itself that establishes notability. However, you must be versed in classical music (prizes he was awarded, institutions he studied at, teachers he studied with, etc.) to notice it properly. Check the listed specialized pages for some clues. Regards, Potomac 04:41, 25 September 2005 (UTC) _{- User's second edit. --Blackcap | talk 16:44, 25 September 2005 (UTC)}

• James Sui is a legendary figure in the indie scene. His fansites are unmatched for their obsessive attention to detail. He is also a well known member of the Loyal Third Batallion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.148.236 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Closed rides and attractions

I think this article should be deleted, because it has very little information as it is, and there is already an article on closed Disneyland attractions, at List of past Disneyland attractions. There should be separate articles for closed Epcot and Knott's attractions. --Lyght 22:08, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. I found a list of 27 closed or demolished amusement parks in Michigan alone [22], with copious information including news articles, archive photographs and histories. This is eminently encyclopedic information and on this evidence there is a lot of it. I added one defunct Michigan amusement park to the list. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 23:44, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Where to start? This can be viewed as anything from just plain theme park-cruft to a sort of memorial. Whatever it is, it's very unencyclopedic. / Peter ^Isotalo 13:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I agree with Peter's point. Such attractions, if notable enough to be memorialised after they shut down, should be mentioned in the context of their location. A separate entry like this is therefore eminently unencyclopedic. Dottore So 16:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with the above reasons for deletion. Any closed attractions can be mentioned in an article about that location. Should we also have a list of Closed restaurants and diners or Closed playgrounds and parks? Carbonite | Talk 12:35, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand, as per Tony Sidaway this article has potential and the amusement parks are notable for research and archival purposes regardless if deletionists believe this to be amusementpark-cruft it is still encyclopedic material. Piecraft 01:15, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Please don't make casual, inaccurate statements about policy. 1) The page you cite is not policy, nor is Wikipedia:Importance. 2) For biographies, it is; or, phrasing this carefully, notability is a Guideline for inclusion of biographies. 3) Lack of notability is, in fact, a de facto criterion and always has been. Because there is no consensus on this, there is no general policy on this, so it is decided case-by-case. 4) Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information is policy, and non-notable biographies are perfect examples of information which is true but is not encyclopedic.

Perhaps this should include all of the Jainism and Religion articles from Special:Contributions/Ns? --fvw* 00:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• This article isn't particularly useful, but comparative religion is a pretty huge field these days. We have a long and quite decent pages on Comparing and contrasting Judaism and Christianity, Mormonism and Judaism, and the general Christianity and world religions. As a subject this could merit an article. - SimonP 00:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with SimonP and suggest merging all of the Jainism and Xism articles into Jainism and world religions. Once that article becomes unwieldly we can break it up into more in-depth articles about Jainism and individual religions. As it is, most of these articles are simply stubs.

[edit] J.R. Rupple

Author entry by User:Dr. No. Unencyclopedic, non-notable, ungrammatical, unwikified, orphan, riddled with irrelevant details. Looks like self-promotion. There is a link to the author's website which claims his books are available through Amazon, but Amazon has no listing for the author. Likewise, Google has no listing for an author of that name. The article also claims Rupple "helped write" the TV movie The Man with the Screaming Brain. IMDB does have a listing for this movie but does not list Rupple in any capacity. The article also includes a brief excerpt from one of Rupple's books which has no style or substance whatever. Maybe it would be kinder to move the article to BJAODN, but still....

          • Note that I'm voting delete on this. Obviously it shouldn't be kept, I'm just saying that it can't be speedied. As to your example, "I want more pancakes" is a personal desire and is thus non-notable and is also speediable under G3 amd A1, but is not patent nonsense, which is how all this got started. This article relates to an actual phrase used by a number of people (presumably), fits under no WP:CSD, and thus cannot be speedied. A precedent: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lo and behold.
