[edit] Sandra Bradshaw

Sad but WP:NOT a memorial Delete --Aranda56 00:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• She and several other passengers are historically significant for fighting back against the terroists. This has been confirmed by reconstructions of the flight tapes and from cell phone conversations. I agree posting all 40 passengers would be OTT. Posting these few who fought back is relevant and material to the events on Flight 93. Note that the terrorists are given extensive bios--why not mini bios for the few who foiled their plans? Norweigan Forest 00:07, 19 September 2005 (UTC) _{- User's 18th edit. --Blackcap | talk 19:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)}
  • What exactly is your vote? Keep? --Blackcap | talk 19:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Its better off for a merge into the wiki 9/11 memorial Page not here --Aranda56 00:11, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge any pertinent info to the 9/11 wiki. -GregAsche (talk) 00:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Re: Norwegian Forest: At this point, the article only says it is believed that this person was notable by the standards you cite (which I would generally agree with). If the significant in foiling terrorists claim is sourced, I'd say keep. Until, delete. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 02:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's no particular evidence that this individual in particular fought back against the terrorists and in any case, Todd Beamer and United Airlines Flight 93 detail the passenger counterattack in enough detail. This article is completely unnecessary. — Phil Welch 02:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge or delete: I think a list, which might include a mini biography, of all the passenger on UA Flight 93 would be useful — or maybe as a section in the United Airlines Flight 93 article. As is, though, IMHO it doesn't warrant its own article. — Cory Maylett 02:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge articles on such people in the article on the flight they were on. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:46, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with an article about flight 93, maybe include all the pertanant people involved in that flight...HoratioVitero 15:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The September 11th wiki already has all of this information and more here. There is nothing paticularly notable about this person, and her pages can be easily linked to on the previously mentioned wiki from the UA Flight 93 page. I recommend that references to her in the UA 93 page be simply linked to her Sep11 wiki page. --Blackcap | talk 19:24, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Relevant material: meta:What to do with entries related to September 11 casualties. --Blackcap | talk 19:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into United Airlines Flight 93. (Article should be re-created if section gets too big). Andrew pmk | Talk 20:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Many other articles on 9/11 victims onboard aircraft have been expanded — this one could be too. Andrew pmk | Talk 05:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to United Airlines Flight 93. Hall Monitor 19:13, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into United Airlines Flight 93.

[edit] Bear the Diesel Engine

The page appears to be original research/a personal essay --Mysidia (talk) 00:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - one of the characters from The Railway Series about Thomas the Tank Engine. Other characters have articles.--AYArktos 00:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC) (Note that I tidied the article after Mysidia's nomination from anon editor's start - I appreciate that without links, categorisation or context it looked like a personal essay.)--User:AYArktos | Talk 19:48, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Major characters in popular fiction are notable by current standards. Ashibaka (tock) 02:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup (I'll make a start). --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Engines in the Railway Series are notable, even though Bear seems to be a fairly minor character. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, seems perfectly valid to me. Can't see how it's original research. Merge and redirect Bear, AKA D7101 here, assuming this is the common name for the thing. AKAs don't belong in titles. (Note: We have a Thomas the Thank Engine vandal, so please be extra careful with the info you move). - Mgm|^(talk) 08:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I'll merge it in now. Should be okay, since if "Bear the Diesel Engine" gets deleted "AKA D7101" should too. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: part of a vauable resource; a single article to cover all those characters would be enormous. —Phil | Talk 12:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• KeepHoratioVitero 15:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep WP:NOT paper, and per Ashibaka. --Blackcap | talk 19:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trap17

Ad for a free webhost. --fvw* 00:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: It's nothing but an advertisement — Cory Maylett 02:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nice idea, but still an ad. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Alexa is 45,465, which seems low for a web host. Flowerparty■ 11:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• This entry has been Transwikied to Yellowikis by User:Uncle_G's bot --Payo 12:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • What is Yellowikis, and how can we "transwiki" to a site that is not a sister project? User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • This is what a Google search turned up: [1]. They use the same skin as us, anyway, but I've never heard of them. A Meta search for Yellowiki turns up zilch, so I doubt they're a sister project. --Blackcap | talk 00:06, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
    • See Yellowikis (AfD discussion). In the very same way that we transwiki to that subset of the sibling projects to which transwikification is permitted. The procedure is identical. Uncle G 01:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I strongly protest the use of the term transwiki to describe moving GFDL articles to non-Wikipieda projects. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Then you are on your own, and in disagreement with many other editors, since excluding all projects except for Wikipedia ones is not its generally accepted meaning. Excluding all projects except for Wikimedia ones is not its generally accepted meaning, even. I suggest that you read the first sentence of m:transwiki to see how broadly encompassing the concept is, in Angela's own words. I also suggest that if you are going to propose changing the terminology to your newly-coined highly restricted meaning, you do so not here but on the talk page at Meta. Uncle G 01:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
          • You're biting a bit hard, mate. A simple, "That's not the generally accepted definition of tranwiki, see m:transwiki," would probably have sufficed. Just a friendly thought. --Blackcap | talk 04:45, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
          • Ohhhhhhhh. Now I get it. If I want an article deleted from Wikipedia, all I have to do is "transwiki" it to some obscure GFDL wiki and delete it, huh? User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
            • Again, you will find yourself in disagreement with many other editors in that understanding. Please read the existing extensive discussions of this, beginning with the very talk page that I mentioned above and proceeding to Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/Archive, Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Archives, and Template talk:Move to Wiktionary. Uncle G 18:46, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per all. --Blackcap | talk 19:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I don't get it... how does this differ from Geocities and Freewebs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dooga (talk • contribs) 2005-09-20 03:37:48 UTC
  • GeoCities is listed on NASDAQ and its purchase and subsequent alteration by Yahoo! was covered by news media. Freewebs has been the subject of independent news stories, too. This is not the case for Trap17. Uncle G 10:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cradossk

Direct quote from my brother the Star Wars fanatic: "I wouldn't even put that guy in a Star Wars character guide, let alone an encyclopedia." Delete. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^{(Contributions)} 00:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge into Bossk. I don't think the resulting redirect will cause any harm. -- BD2412 ^talk 00:19, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Info is already in there; redirect to Minor bounty hunters in Star Wars#Bossk. -- BD2412 ^talk 00:23, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • You can't redirect to sections though, but apart from that I agree. --fvw* 00:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Do you mean that in the sense of "it's not technically possible", or in the sense of "it's not allowed"? I'm pretty sure it's technically possible. -- BD2412 ^talk 02:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
        • It's not technically possible. Here, I'll set up an example for you. Go to User:Purplefeltangel/Sandbox2, then click on the link at the top back to the redirect page. Then click "edit." You can see it's supposed to link to a section, but it doesn't. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^{(Contributions)} 02:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
          • I stand corrected. But darn it, it should be possible. They need to fix that. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
            • I think that this used to work a few months ago. Maybe it's a regression in the software? Pburka 03:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not particularly opposed to a redirect. — Phil Welch 02:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I'd rather like to say "delete" as another example of rampant Star Wars cruft, but precedent is against me. Redirect, merging if necessary. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:05, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Bossk and then Redirect --Icarus 05:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to the list of minor bounty hunters. Since sections can be renamed without being explicitly logged, redirects to sections are prone to breaking. That's why it's not working. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Code of conflict

Non-notable mud. --fvw* 00:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Don't Delete Wikipedia is an encyclopedia I thought? Shouldn't this be extended to be as true as possible. If you go to the website, it seems obvious the current article is truthful.. so then why not keep it? It's true - and if people want to know what Code of Conflict is they can find out - or otherwise other Code of Conflict definitions can be added as I see on MANY other pages ;) _{- Unsigned post by 203.109.252.196, an ISP which has vandalised numerous pages. --Blackcap | talk 05:49, 21 September 2005 (UTC)}

• Delete. Code of conflict.com has an Alexa rank of 1,787,348. Neopets reaches 73. Comparing the two (which is their only claim to fame) would be ludicrous. It's just one of the billions of random games put on the net. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of cancer patients

This list is accurate but cancer is the most common death and that list names all the cancer patients which is way to many and that list is even probaly a stub.See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of famous pneumonia suffers Delete --Aranda56 01:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: I'm not a fan of these kinds of infinite list articles to begin with, but if the article is kept, it ought to at least be limited and changed to, maybe, "Famous" or "Notable cancer patients". Even then, the list could possibly grow into the tens or hundreds of thousands. — Cory Maylett 02:27, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or make into category. The main advantages of lists over categories are (a) redlinks can be added (but in this case, only bluelinks should be allowed to maintain verifiability) and (b) lists can be annotated, but I can't see much use for annotation here. So this would be an OK category but not much of a list. — Phil Welch 02:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Phil makes a compelling argument. I think the list should be categorified, deleted afterwards. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Make into a category and then delete --Icarus 05:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unencyclopedic, unmaintainable list. I don't think that Category:People who died of cancer would be a good idea, either. DES ^(talk) 05:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Make into a category. I like lists, but this particular one can grow beyond large. Shouldn't we merge the edit history to show who added people to the list/category? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't think you can do that -- a category has no history connected with the individual items in the category, that history is entirely in the individual items. DES ^(talk) 11:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Cory Maylett and Aranda56. Don't make a category. What good is a category listing half the people on Wikipedia? -- Kjkolb 10:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Completely indiscriminate collection of information that serves no purpose. Categories could help. Please note that many of these people did not die of cancer (it's possible to have cancer for decades and die from a motor crash or heart attack). JFW | T@lk 11:50, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, IMO Category:People diagnosed with cancer is of even less use, if that is possible, than Category:People who died of cancer. DES ^(talk) 11:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unmaintainable. Could potentially have millions of names on it. Even a list of famous people with cancer would be unmaintainable since there are so many. 23skidoo 16:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Make into "cancer patient" category and then delete per Phil. Completely unmaintainable as a list. --Blackcap | talk 19:45, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete (what is with this listmania) . ≈ jossi ≈ 21:36, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete big lists. Do not make into a category. That would be even worse. I'd rather see this page stick around than such a category tag applied to hundreds and hundreds of articles. What other categories can we think of? "Men with male pattern baldness?" "Cities with beaches?" Bunchofgrapes 22:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Drew Davies

• Delete: Vanity page, advertising, not notable. Drew Davies is apparently the founder/design director of a small graphic design firm in Nebraska called Oxide Design Co. which also has a Wikipedia article. Both articles were created by a user named Oxide, whose contributions are limited to the Oxide Design and Drew Davies articles. I suspect a case of self-promotion. A little more research turned up an employee of the company, Joe Sparano, whose vanity page has already been deleted. Cory Maylett 02:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Stethoscope

• Delete Does this belong in the UoT article? No. Does it belong in a new article, "Student organizations of University of Toronto"?Ashibaka (tock) 02:27, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Given that the usual bar for a student group at a university is "5 to 10 people want to make a group", with the occasional condition of "the group is not a porn studio", the notability bar for such groups is a good bit higher than we have a board of directors. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 02:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Dont Delete We have over 750 undergraduate and graduate members at the University of Toronto St George Campus (the largest life sci student organization in Canada's largest university) , the article sure does need cleaning up but we dont understand why we cant have a wikipedia entry while obscure geek science fiction topics are allowed in. Just look at our website to see that we are a legitimate organization whose membership base exceeds the life sci student enrolment at many universities in the world - Stethoscope Member (who just started using the edit button so i dont know how to add the fancy tags) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.120.30 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 19 September 2005}
• Delete completely nn. — Phil Welch 02:44, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with a greater UoT article if possible, otherwise keep, and give the anon a supply of tissues. Mate, keeping or deleting an article is not an insult to whatever the article's about. I'm not notable, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest ;-) --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: Student organizations are a dime a dozen, but 750 members at Canada's largest university. Sounds like a (marginal, maybe) keeper to me. — Cory Maylett 03:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment.I would vote to Keep if this level of membership could be verified or proof of expansion to other campuses could be provided. I would otherwise vote to merge with a Student organizations at the University of Toronto or similar article as there is verifiable evidence of its existence see [2]. Capitalistroadster 03:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Welcome, Stethoscope Member to Wikipedia. Capitalistroadster 03:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. For what it's worth, I don't think a lot of the obscure geek science fiction topics are notable either, but they have a dedicated sockpuppet fan base to come on and vote for their junk. —Cleared as filed. 03:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I am another stethoscope member, and all I can say is please examine the merits of the organization by looking at the website, rather than listening to people whose only comment is "non notable" without explaining why it is non notable, considering the size of the organization and their lack of familiarity with even the university of toronto. If all it takes is a sockpuppet fan base to flood this with keep votes, then we can easily get dozens of members to put down some sort of comment on why this should be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.90.251 (talk • contribs)

Comment. I don't think the fact that a student organization has been around 5 years is enough to qualify as notable either. —Cleared as filed. 00:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Most student organizations that exist at only one university are non-notable. Lots of universities have pre-medical (pre-dental, etc.) organizations, and that's a popular career choice among college students, so it doesn't surprise me that this organization could have 750 members at a campus with about 50,000 undergraduates. However, if this becomes a national pre-med organization, it would probably be notable enough to qualify for Wikipedia in my opinion. --Metropolitan90 01:25, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the organization appears to have footing.DannyZz 00:24, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I am also a Stethoscope member, and we certainly have a lot of footing. We have high profile events and last year in our inaugural year we actually had Tak Mak and the federal minister of public health come and give a talk, and this year the chief medical officer for Toronto is apparently coming as well. If we are some nonsense non notable club with 7-10 members would those high profile personalities actually take the time to go? De Lovely 18:03, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Stethoscope could be, and apparently is, completely legitimate and worthwhile for its members without warranting having a Wikipedia article about it. I don't consider it nonsense, but that doesn't mean it's notable. --Metropolitan90 01:38, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Since Wikipedia contains extensive articles on every Pokemon character and video game in existence (not to mention its growing library of porn star bios), I believe the bar is sufficiently low enough to enable a good-sized academic organization at a major institution of higher learning to easily meet the entry qualifications. I'm not defending dumbing down Wikipedia (in fact, I'm quite opposed to it), but I am saying that an even and consistent set of criteria should apply. If we allow cartoon characters to have their own articles, but deny them to college organizations, we've taken one more step down the road to Wikipedia becoming little more than a repository of insignificant, pop-culture trivia. — C Maylett 17:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment: Maybe we should do the appropriate thing and list all of those insignificant cartoon characters for deletion instead? —Cleared as filed. 10:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment: We can't plausibly use the same standards in determining whether Pokemon characters, porn stars, and student organizations are worthy of Wikipedia entries; neither Pikachu nor the Stethoscope has ever won an Adult Video News Award. I don't believe there are any official guidelines about student organizations having Wikipedia entries, but I think most of those I have seen on AfD have failed their votes and been deleted. If you can find precedents in your favor among other student organizations, I would take those into consideration. --Metropolitan90 00:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The organization may merit a mention at Faculty of Medicine, U of T (which, by the way, should be renamed, cleaned up and expanded). The contents are unencyclopedic trivia. Dystopos 16:00, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Someone mentioned student organizations that have been kept, here is one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Sigma_Phi_Philippines . As far as it seems it doesnt have the same scope as our organization since it comes from two small second rate provincial universities in the philippines. They are a considerably older organization, but is age really the matter for notability, or is it the relevance of the organization to an x number of people? We make no financial gain out of having the stethoscope on wikipedia, since our membership is free and open to all, and we even have logged europeans and australians visiting and returning to our website on a regular basis looking for information on the health care professions admissions criteria in canada. This entire article will probably be deleted, but you people who consider yourselves as guardians of wikipedia should really get priorities straight if the message you are sending is that a pokemon character or 60's porn star has more notability than an organization involved in helping the next generation of a first world country's health care profession. 70.30.120.30 13:38, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Intensity of Binary Independence

• Delete. IMO, this criterion is neither useful nor well-known enough to merit a wikipedia article. Hermitage 02:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, the google results all seem to be from wikipedia or descriptions of Saari's book.
  • Also, the criterion implies that the "intensity of preference" between two candidates can be effectively measured by the number of candidates ranked in between them... this is a serious fallacy.
  • A merge with Borda count would be logical, but it should be made clear that this is a POV definition of preference intensity, not a generally accepted one. --Hermitage 22:44, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Not vanity, likely verifiable. Mark for cleanup instead. — Phil Welch 02:46, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: Esoteric, but hundreds of Google results. — Cory Maylett 03:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for the following reasons: RSpeer 03:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Those hundreds of Google results are almost all the same two texts! One is, of course, the Wikipedia article itself, on mirror sites. The other is a review of Donald Saari's book "Elections and Decisions" (a book promoting the use of the Borda count), which is the only place this term is actually published. Filtering out wikipedia mirrors and reviews of that book leaves one hit, which is a randomly-generated spam page.
  • "Elections and Decisions" has no Wikipedia article; why should a term that only exists as a small part of that book have an article?
  • The criterion is inherently POV. Criteria are used to promote various voting methods over others based on their mathematical properties, based on the assumption that it is desirable to meet that criterion. This criterion is equivalent to the definition of the Borda count, so the article is simply hiding the statement "The Borda count is good" behind some math.
  • The criterion has not been accepted by any voting theorists except its creator, Donald Saari. The user who created this article is a strong fan of Saari.
  • Therefore, I urge people to reconsider their votes.
• Merge But I don't know to what - Independence of irrelevant alternatives perhaps could be expanded. I think this belongs in a general article on voting criteria rather than a seperate very specialised article. If nobody finds a useful merge during the vfd then weak delete. Dlyons493 07:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Ack no. Independence of irrelevant alternatives has problems of its own without unrelated criteria being tacked onto it. If the article is merged, it should go to Borda count, but keeping in mind Hermitage's caveat. RSpeer 21:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per RSpeer. -- Kjkolb 10:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Operating System advocacy

This article should be deleted because it is a cesspool of original research, with a near absolute lack of refrences to any of the points and counter points. In fact the authors seem to encourage this more by suggesting in the talk page that this article only talk about current debates about current operating systems, leaving out anything historical, refrenceable, and truely encylopedic. put up for deletion by IP:68.127.144.118

Listing was orphaned, now properly listed on AfD. My vote is below. — Phil Welch 03:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I agree. Not sure what the point of this article is except for people to make complaints about systems they don't like. Avenger Penguin 16:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• This article has the potential to be an encylopaedic account of the phenomenon of operating system advocacy and some of the most notable debates. The introduction starts off well, infact with the exception of the last line of the introduction everything before the table of contents is of high quality.

• Weak Keep Idleguy 09:48, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I think the article provides some valuable "talking points" in the comparison of operating systems. Especially in the Unix sections, I forget what the advantages and disadvantages of the different systems are; and as a Mac zealot I'm reminded of the problems with my favorite system, as well, when I reccommend it to people. Perhaps it should be re-purposed or something; I agree that it's mainly opinion, not historical but I do see it as a useful reference. justfred 09:48, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. but clean up and add references. Pamri • Talk 13:33, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep' The content could do with an awful lot more expanding and NPVing, but I would like to see such an article. Certainly many people feel strongly about the issue, but that's a good reason to have a summary of such opinion. Comparison of operating systems has useful technical overview, but surely there is room for a more userfriendly comparison of strengths and weaknesses that should be kept out of 'Comparison_of_operating_systems' and Operating system; the differences between two is important, and not suited to the article on either.
• I, at least, was hoping for a reasoned comparison when I clicked the link.
• The name should probably be changed to something more neutral or merged back into 'Comparison_of_operating_systems', and this be a redirect, or a stub with a discussion of the history of advocacy itself rather than true comparison. --Jack

• Keep and cleanup. Actual notable phenomenon. Drop the arguments for and against OS's and focus more on the reality of platform zealotry and platform arguments. — Phil Welch 03:27, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • That was my opinion the last time around, and it remains unchanged. The neutral point of view and no original research policies must be adhered to. This article requires a huge dose of cleanup, including excision of everything in the pro&con lists that cannot be sourced or attributed to a specific proponent, which is pretty much all of it right now. Uncle G 18:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (sort of): — There's interesting information here, but the premise of the page is goofy and unencylopedic. "Operating system advocacy" — a grandiose and somewhat misleading title for what is mostly just a list of pros and cons of various operating systems. I suggest renaming and rewriting the intro paragraphs to something better suited to the content that follows. — Cory Maylett 03:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • That's the cart before the horse somewhat. The content that follows the introduction is a huge chunk of original research without either citations or attributions. Rewriting the introduction to match the rest, essentially refactoring this article as a rewrite of comparison of operating systems, is both basing the article around the original research and pointless. We already have that article. The focus of this article, per the title, is the advocacy, and not the actual features of the various operating systems themselves. There's a possibility of an encyclopaedia article on operating system advocacy. People have written about it.

    The "goofy and unencyclopaedic" title relates to the names of several Usenet newsgroups where such arguments have occurred for the past 20 years, by the way, and is the generally accepted term for what transpires within them. Uncle G 18:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

There are no records of an "Ah-ni-ku-ta-ni" online (according to Google) and a couple of the user's other edits have been challenged. It's possible that this request for deletion owes something to a wish to avoid being caught out. There are credited sources for each article - can anyone find them offline to confirm?

          • Here's a little more. Searching www.a9.com and selecting "books" (which is about the same as Amazon's "search inside this book") can be useful. The page in question is this but it really only confirms the existence of the "Ani-kutani priesthood."

• Speedy Keep I regret my actions here. Please keep this article. Also, Phandsvrta is an SCOX member who has been extremely vocal. Since he does not know anything about our Culture or language, I ask the other editors to heavily scrutinze any edits or defacements he makes to this article. Gadugi 18:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• phandsvrta response

I will second Jeff's sentiment to scrutinize all contributions - mine or otherwise. I have indeed been vocal, and will continue being vocal as long as attempts are made to suppress freedom of information and speech. And, as far as I know, I haven't made any defacements to this article (I'm not adept at using wikipedia, so don't rule out ignorance or finger trouble!).

Jeff, if there is an older syllabary than that of Sequoyah, why isn't it visible elsewhere? There is a LOT of Cherokee information out there, but all references to a written language only get as far as Sequoyah. Surely you woudn't want something as fundamental and precious to wither away in obscurity?

Think of it as adding to the richness found in other, old languages, such as Norn (the ancient language of Orkney), or Ogham (pre-Gaelic Irish), or Kernewek (the direct descendant of the ancient language spoken by Celtic settlers who inhabited Cornwall (Kernow) and most of the British Isles long before the Roman conquest). Many of these were suppressed by later conquerors, and only survived underground. They are now being resurrected and appreciated for their historical and cultural value. I'd want the same for a previously unkown Cherokee written form.

Wouldn't you want to know how to read the Inca Quipus (spelling?)?

I speak as a Scot, living in Ireland. Our native Gaelic was brutally suppressed by the English, only surviving in the Western Isles, including Ireland. As language powerfully shapes a culture, losing languages is, in my opinion, a very bad thing.

• Keep. Of course, this begs the question "Then why did you create the article if you want it removed?" I think it is good and useful encyclopedic information, and I'm glad you added it. There has been no problem with defacement so far. The wiki process is pretty good at dealing with defacement when it occurs, although unfortunately there is no way to prevent it. Plenty of articles dealing with sacred subects do get defamed on occasion here, but this is only a surface phenomenon. What is truly sacred cannot be defamed. Codex Sinaiticus 13:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • The answer to that is pretty obvious. The creator got into some rahter nasty disputes with others on wikipedia, mostly if not compeltely unrealted to thsi article. In the course of this, it seems that at least one user posted derogatory language related to the creator's cherokee ethnicity, or at least he took it that way. See the history of the creator's talk page, his user contributions, and jimbo's recent post on WP:AN/I if you want more details. I can see why these events left the article creator very unhappy with wikipedia, although i think he is mistakenly attributing to all of us the acts of a very few. DES ^(talk) 13:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Galugi is reverting my attempts to clean up the article and is even refusing that it be categorized as an "ethnic group"-stub, claiming that the term is inherently racial [3].

• Speedy keep. WP:POINT. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep. I regret my actions here. Also, please remove the term "ethnic group" and do not remove the breakdown of the language constructs. This portion is extremely helpful to those trying to understand how Cherokee verb stems are constructed. Gadugi 18:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• I have reverted the redirect. The convention is that articels are not usually converted to redirects, moved, or blanked while an AfD discusiion is in progress. Moreover, assuming that it is verifiabel, the information here strikes me as relevant and should be kept soemwhere. The precise form of the article is another matter. I woulkd say to Gadugi, most people in the US who are not native americans tend to view "indian tribes" as more ethnic than political, and even though it is true that formal membership is a political act, and people may well be descended from native amaricans but not have any formal tribal membership, is it not true that such membership is generally only open to people with such ancestry? If so, it is not a "pure" political association, but more a combination of political and ethnic/racial identity. Correct me if I am wrong, please. DES ^(talk) 15:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Response to DES This statement is essentially correct. Membership does require membership in a racial group, however, membbership in an Indian tribe is a political relationship with the US government. It is the policy of the TRIBES to restrict ot members of their race, which is an issue of sovereignty. The problem with using ethnic language to describe this is that under US law, the 14th ammendment which prohibits racial discrimination has been used over and over again by non-indians to claim they have the right to posessess eagle feathers, use and distribute drugs like peyote to non-indians, etc. under Laws which protect Native American Culture. The Courts have had to rule that the relationship is political in order to protect our culture from people like these. So public references, like an encycplopedia, could be used as Court exhibit over and over again in this stale and mouldy argument these people use to setup drug distribution businesses run by non-indians who prey off our culture, and bring us into disrepute. So that's why I object to using the word, "ethic". Also, this particular article is about the language. The editor Karmosin tried to change it into an ethnic article by removing the language constructs. The article should stay the way it is, as I created it and intended it as a starting point to teach others our language. Gadugi 22:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah I see your points. Thre ought to be a properly nuanced way to indicvate booth the political and the racial/gentic issues involve, but that kind of discusion realy belongs on the talk page of this article, not on this AfD discussion. I also see that an article about language is not the smae as an articel about the peopel who speak that language. Well it looks to me as if the result here will be keep, but there there is the ewndless process of debating and, one hopes, improving the article. I personaly would oppose a change to a simple redirect as things stand. DES ^(talk)
      • I don't see anything constructive in DES' revert of my redirect. The AfD is effectively over since Gadugi has voted against his own nomination and the article doesn't serve any purpose. We already have Cherokee which is about the exact same thing, except it uses the commonly used name of the tribe as per our naming conventions. Like I pointed out before; we don't keep 日本人 separate from Japanese people for a very good reason. What's there to argue here? / Peter ^Isotalo 06:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
        • • An AfD is either over or not. The reason for not creating a redirect until the AfD is formally closed is to preserve the two-way link between the discussion and the article being discussed. DES ^(talk) 14:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
          • In any case, I think that the linguistc information in the article as it stands is of value, and doing a simple redirect amouts to delting this information. Either the information should be merged into Cherokee, or the article should stand as a separeate articel, with proper links. It is not particualrly urgent to do either, so the matter should be discussed on Talk:Cherokee or on Talk:Ah-ni-yv-wi-ya, or both, an an attempot made to come to a consensus on what do do. there was not a consensus here on a simple redirect without merging the info. Put up {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} if you linke, to advertise a proposed merge. Or propose a simple redir on Talk:Ah-ni-yv-wi-ya and do it if you get something approaching consensus. I will arguie agaisnt such a redir -- unless there is evidence indiacting that the content of the current articel is false to fact, or is unverifiable. I trust that explains my views clearly.

[edit] Ted Albert Award For Outstanding Service To Australian Music

Seems like a parody to me. jmd 05:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• This is an award at the Australasian Performing Right Association APRA Awards see [4] . I think that this could best be addressed by expanding the APRA article to mention the awards which are significant awards in Australia. Ted Albert after whom the awards were named was a significant figure in the Australian music industry and Albert Productions was a notable Australian record company with The Easybeats, AC-DC and John Paul Young amongst others recording for the label see [5] BTW, the article could be a copyvio referring to AC/DC winning the award for its contribution to the awards. I will expand the APRA article to refer to the awards including this one so Delete.Capitalistroadster 05:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inbound link

Delete as this was made as link spam and will attract more (note: I removed original creator's link and only other editors link as well). It's true a good article could in theory be made. I'm open to changing my mind, but I think there are enough other articles, where this could be mentioned. I'm also not sure if it qualifies as a dicdef. rob 07:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

With all due respect, difficult to understand is not grounds for deletion. Why not pose your question on the article talk page and/or my talk page (as the rewrite author)? Additionally, not relevant to everybody is applicable to pretty much every article here. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 20:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

It is rather difficult to understand and that's a comment as to the state of the article. The motivation is that it's overly specific professional jargon. It's too technical and obscure to deserve it's own article, just like truck driver shop talk or nursespeak doesn't belong here. "Not relevant to everybody" is your wording, though, not mine. I wouldn't mind a short summary and redirect to hyperlink, though. / Peter ^Isotalo 06:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, relevant to webmonkeys and to those who study their behavior. Kappa 00:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Rebuttal/Request for Non-Deletion

Per the Wikipedia Deletion Policy of who can have a listing, "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more"

I am a published author with an audience of over 5,000 and send out a monthly newsletter to over 13,000. I also intend to run for President of the U.S. in 2044. I have removed links to commercial sites and am happy to edit/re-write article, however required. I appreciate your consideration and hope to become part of the community.

• Writing about yourself is a rather poor way to join. It's also going to set up a pretty strong presumption that you don't deserve an article, because if you did, why would you have to write it yourself? This is not a venue for self-promotion, which if your claims are to be believed, is something you obviously don't need Wikipedia for anyway. Postdlf 07:45, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, and I almost forgot—writing and editing content about yourself makes it inherently suspect because of your natural bias and conflict of interest regarding objective description. Cheers. Postdlf 07:47, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Despite those concerns, I'm going to vote a weak keep because Mr. Allis's book is selling on Amazon, and one of the two websites has a respectable Alexa rating. I'll be watching the discussion to see if anyone can change my mind because I'm on the fence on this one. And everyone should be watching to make sure this article, if kept, is not just part of a PR campaign. Postdlf 07:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Allis's book is on Amazon.com, but anyone can use a vanity publisher and get their book listed for sale on Amazon.com. Who is it published by? A company called Virante Inc. Who are Virante Inc? Their founder and President & CEO are a certain Ryan Allis. The book does have 11 reviews (10 of which are glowing 5 star reviews) on Amazon. But again, do some research. Two of the reviews are identical. All but two of the reviewers have reviewed this book AND THIS BOOK ONLY. Which arouses my suspicions. Of the other two reviewers, one states that he knows the author personally (as do other "one-off" reviewers) and the other (the only reviewer I would trust, i.e. who does not know the author and has reviewed other books on Amazon) gives it the only non-5-star rating... a one-star rating. This all leads me to suspect over-hyping vanity, both on Amazon and here. Hence, delete (and add to watchlist to see if it gets kept and grows in vanity or gets deleted and relisted). CLW 08:36, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Postdlf, thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your 'weak keep' vote. I have read the full articles on deletion guidelines and vanity guidelines. I agree that the initial version of the article was vanity--I simply was unaware of the guidelines but can assure you I am now. I have registered as a user to remove any anonymity behind any edits. If the article is allowed to be kept I certainly promise not make any edits that encourage any commercial agenda.

[edit] Davidson Falade

Undergrad vanity, possibly speediable. Only claims to notability are as a columnist to a student newspaper, The Manitoban, and as a chess player "on the national level". I admire his enthusiasm for chess, a game I also love, but the Chess Federation of Canada indicates that he isn't a very strong player, as he has a 1720 rating. (A notably strong Candadian player would have a rating of 2300+.) Quale 07:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn. --rob 07:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No notability established, chesswise or journalistwise. Personally I think a chess player in general needs to hold some sort of international title to be notable (except for some historic players, before such titles were introduced). International Grandmasters, Woman Grandmasters and national chess champions are OK. International Masters and FIDE masters are borderline. An Elo rating 1720 isn't remotely close.

Keep because wiki is not paper, and there are 49 articles in the drinking game category. The content of this particular one could at least be merged with Withnail and I because the list is a list of drinks he drinks in the movie. Astrokey44 09:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• NN Tedious vanity piece The curate's egg 10:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I made it much smaller. Sorry for the details. Still learning. [Posted by 216.189.121.210 - the article's creator - who has now removed 98% of the piece]
• Delete as per The curate's egg CLW 13:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn. Note to creator of article: It's not the length per se that's the problem. It's the length of non-notable stuff, that's the problem. You have to read WP:BIO and see what wikipedia thinks is notable, and worthy of inclusion. Then, the article must show this, and provide verifiable proof (like footnotes) of it. I read the old version and new, and I don't see anything meeting the requirements. As an example, if Parker is the "author of several important historical papers", then the question is what papers, why are they important, where were they published, who published them, how widely were they read, etc... --rob 11:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per rob. No problem with changing this vote if the author can add verifiably important papers. Dlyons493 13:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Uh, no, we will not regret it when you make it. We will then say "Oh, Schalken Fur Kreativitat have now become notable. Now is the time for us to create a Wikipedia article about them." CLW 11:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Nope. Delete. nothing links to it & google says: "Your search - "Schalken Fur Kreativitat" - did not match any documents." [7] Astrokey44 11:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

This is because the website is still under construction

this page should definitely stay-new bands like this could be the next stones and wiki could say they had them from the beggining

according to the wiki deletion policy since i have written a book on the band, I am a published author with an audience of over 5,000 and send out a monthly newsletter to over 13,000. I also intend to run for President of the U.S. in 2044

Delete. This is a dictionary entry and should be moved to Wiktionary. It provides no useful information about guest houses beyond the definition. What more could be said about guest houses anyway? DanMS 17:41, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

      • Versailles might not be the best example since it says "exclusive" conversion into a house for guests. However, what I was pointing out is that during the reign of Louis XIV the nobles were getting powerful and his plan to neutralize them was to let them live in Versailles where he had a greater deal of control, etc. However, I suppose if this is only about free standing houses and not guest-wings, etc. then it doesn't work... although, there are guest houses on the premises of many palaces I believe... like Hampton... I forget the name outside of London that Henry VIII owned. gren グレン 01:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep social significance. I couldn't immediately tell you the difference between Bed and Breakfast, Guesthouse, pension (lodging), etc, so I suppose there is potential for a merge if someone know's what they're doing. Dunc|☺ 21:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

A guest house is not a form of hotel service. It's just a house one houses guests in. / Peter ^Isotalo 23:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Half Moon

Seems to have been created to increase the wiki presence of the village of Grendon. The entry starts off like a dicdef ("Half Moon - noun"). It then says that pubs called the Half Moon often have signs with a half moon on - not very informative. It proceeds to name check Grendon, then gives details of local folklore which is already included in the Grendon article. In summary, I'm not convinced that any of this is encyclopedic. Nor am I convinced that the article could be re-written to be made encyclopedic. CLW 13:26, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The article as it stands refers to the name of one pub in one village. There are many so-called pubs in the UK at least (169 per beerintheevening.com, and that's just registered pubs), then the term "Half Moon" isn't restricted to the name of a pub.

I'd just like to note that getting a book published is remarkably easy, for a college professor. My father is a professor, and has authored several books. I would not consider him notable; nor would I consider Dr. Cain notable unless his books had seen significant circulation outside his own university. This does not appear to be the case. --Ashenai 22:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Well... "Cyrus Farivar" gets 76,000 hits on Google. I'd say that makes Dr. Cain a whole lot less notable. --Ashenai 00:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment. There is nothing in Google's terms of service which indicate that the web indexing service is intended to be, or functions as a measure of "notability" by any definition other than "gets a lot of Google hits". Certainly notable people have accomplished much without the level of attention the World Wide Web foists upon "American Idol" contestants or "Extended Star Wars Universe" weaponry. Dystopos 16:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

This is true; because of this, we have to be careful when using Google to "prove" that something or someone is non-notable. However, if something gets, say, 100,000 unique Google hits, that generally means that 100,000 people cared enough about it to put something about it up on the Internet. Whatever our personal opinion of "American Idol" contestants or Star Wars weaponry, it is not for us to decide whether or not they are notable. Google is a good indicator of the amount of public interest in a topic, and enough public interest can make anything notable, regardless of any objective merits it may or may not have. --Ashenai 17:38, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Or, in the case of Cyrus Farivar, that his name is attached to articles reprinted from MacWorld, and that his hoax and the reaction to it became newsworthy, and was of particular interest to people who actively discuss things online. None of these phenomena make Farivar more intrinsically notable than Cain, they only create a lot of mentions which are indexed by Google. So, I'm not saying that the public interest failed to make something of Farivar, but the lack of Google-indexed public interest should not detract from the achievements of Cain. Kierkegaard is extremely notable, the study of Kierkegaard is quite notable. Individuals prominent in the study of Kierkagaard are, also, sufficiently notable. I'm going to vote now. Keep. Dystopos 19:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough, but I must say that I have still not seen proof that Dr. Cain is "prominent in the study of Kierkegaard". His primary claim to fame seems the be that he has written three books; as I have pointed out above, this is in no way remarkable or worthy of note for a university professor, unless it is shown that his books achieved at least some degree of circulation, which does not seem to be the case. Basically, I do not believe every university professor is notable, and I have not seen anything to distinguish Dr. Cain from other professors. --Ashenai 19:35, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand as per WP:BIO which states "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more." are notable enough for articles.

[edit] No Need for Bushido

Webcomic with no assertion of notability. Alexa ranking 200K+. Friday (talk) 16:46, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• This is an established comic (3 years running) with an average of 1,400 unique visitors per day. It is also one of the more popular webcomics found on BuzzComics --The palantir 17:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, assuming enough information exists to expand the article. I don't buy the whole notable thing, as long as it's verifiable, what will it hurt to keep the article? --Phroziac ^(talk) 17:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per The palantir. Kappa 23:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep ^ ditto. (I believe it's current standing on Buzzcomics is #13. That's doing pretty good.) [Loyal NNFB reader] 22:36, 19 September 2005 (CTC)
• Keep This webcomic is certainly worthy of its own article, it has a long running and previously noted popularity. Misterniceguy7
• Keep No Need For Bushido has a long running history and is rising on Buzzcomics. Also, the article has been expanded since it was originally posted. Likewise, I can't see a problem with letting it stay.
• Comment: Looks to me like buzzcomix.net itself has an alexa of just under 200K. I don't see an obvious reason why it's an important website, so this comic being ranked on there doesn't mean much to me. Many websites have loyal readers and are important to those who read them. Personally I think we ought to aim a little higher than that for inclusion. Friday (talk) 16:10, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep While it is true that this comic does not meet the first requirement of the first proposal (Alexa ranking above 200 K,) I believe it does meet the rest of the first proposal, the entire alternate second proposal, and the entire third proposal. Since all other criteria are met, and that the comic is near to the 200 K requirement in the most stringent proposal, I don't see the harm in keeping the article. Unless the comic were to go on hiatus, or loose substantial readership to the point of having an Alexa rating above 250 K.
• Keep The alexa rating is currently 194,382. Misterniceguy7
• Keep The Wikiprojects Webcomics page which is a list of all webcomics that have an article on wikipedia has a three point criteria for allowing a comic to be included;

1. A webcomic must be on the web and actively producing strips for a minimum of 33 weeks before being considered for Wikipedia. No Need For Bushido has been online for over 3 years (which also meets one of the more strict criteria they are proposing)

2. A webcomic must have at least 100 strips in its archive before being considered for Wikipedia. No Need For Bushido has almost 200 pages archived.

3. Someone other than the webcartoonist needs to actually write and develop the article in question. The number of people editing/expanding the article so far should show this isn't just an article created by the artists.

The inclusion guidelines conclude that their main concern is new or previously unpopular comics using wikipedia as a launching point to increase popularity for their comic. The length of the comic, the longevity of the comic, and the alexa rating of the comic should be enough to prove this article is worthy. Misterniceguy7 06:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: per Misterniceguy. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 05:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Xiong Wei

non-notable political prisoner. seems like a plea for help for the Falun Gong, obviously non neutral POV, the only sources on this dissident all stem from websites promoting the Falun Gong ie. www.clearwisdom.net. it seems like to me that this is propaganda in order to solicit support for the Falun Gong and Wikipedia is not the proper forum for doing this. 129.2.237.44

Abstain: Is it possible that both the article and its calls for deletion and revision might be motivated by biased viewpoints? This is, after all, a politically charged subject in China. A Google search did turn up a dissident with the name of Xiong Wei, but the Web sites on which the name appeared were all China-related advocacy sites. Hard to say if this person is particularly notable, but I suspect not. — Cory Maylett 17:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I mean we were able to google your information and get an exact match on pro Falun Gong websites such as www.clearwisdom.net, you were caught copying and pasting sentences from those sites, or have you forgotten about that?

• Delete for lack of notability. Comment: FWIW, I searched Amazon for "Richard Rose", and I believe there's more than one author by that name. However the first two books listed were by this guy, so it's entirely possible he's notable as an author. Current article content is bad, yes, but if the subject is notable I'd rather see it fixed than deleted. Friday (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Rewrite: Not notable. Possible self promotion. — Cory Maylett 17:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • After being contacted via e-mail by someone urging me to change my vote, I looked into Richard Rose a little more. The evidence I dug up indicates that he was a legitimate philosopher, spiritual leader and author who managed to attract a significant group of followers and admirers. So from that standpoint, he does seem notable. However, the article is written more like a tribute from one of his disciples than a non-biased statement of simple, straight-forward fact. I'd suggest that someone with an objective viewpoint rewrite and condense the text into something more suitable for a non-biased encyclopedia. — C Maylett 16:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Self-promotion is not an issue as the author devoted his life tirelessly for decades on a strict non-profit basis. The google search listed above also references the title of a book about the author, hence it appears promotional. Here's a wider search: [13] sharnish 23:59 20 September 2005

• Keep. He seems like an interesting guy, the article is informative (if a tad hagiographic in style, but that can be fixed) and in view of his having a number of published essays and several books, and the fact that he has a small but loyal following, he is certainly notable.

• Comment: the academic quality of this page can be enhanced by including references from the relevant books, essays, and weblinks as footnotes in the body of the write up. Also the Publications should, if books, have the year and publisher, and if essays, the journal issue no., year, and page numbers in which they appear M Alan Kazlev 01:03, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Request: Would someone from the TAT Foundation be willing to provide the publication dates? Thanks. The quotations would be difficult to footnote, as they are mostly often-repeated phrases from Rose's personal vocabulary. All the material was originally self-published via the TAT Foundation. By the way, there remain many unpublished works and transcriptions of lectures, transcribed by volunteers (as usual). "Hagiographic" - what a great word! Steve Harnish 05:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Ok, I'm officially changing my opinion to keep, after the rewrite. I'm not saying the article is perfect, but to me the subject looks significant. Yeah, it's hagiographic here and there (I had to look that one up, thanks), but as pointed out, this can be fixed. While not very famous, as authors go, to me the intro paragraph gives me sufficient info about this guy to consider him significant. Friday (talk) 19:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pagan Association

Delete:Run as a part-time venture by two people who have 'real jobs', a 'kitchen fitter' and a, 'personal assistant'

- wow an organisation run by two people with full time jobs and charges a small fee to cover costs of newsletter, great reason for removal! Maybe they should charge more and then they wouldn't have to work fulltime jobs. Accounts are fully transparent and available for any member to view.

Comment You miss the point again. It was not an argument about the fact that you charge, but that you are not a 'full-time', professional organisation worthy of note in an encyclopedia but something you do in your spare time as a hobby. This is an encylcopedia page about your hobby.

No individual member has ever seen the books of the p.a.User:Acropolis now

Delete:P.A. is a small group of friends based in Birmingham. Run as a part-time venture by two people who have 'real jobs', a 'kitchen fitter' and a, 'personal assistant' I believe. Likes to give the impression it IS paganism in the Midlands. Charges for membership but the, 'books' are not open for inspection by members. Totally unworthy of mention on Wikipedia: Remove.

Comment: Even after a re-edit the page is still little more than an advert for this group, and by that token an advert for their, 'pay services' such as, 'hand fastings'.

Comment: I hardly think being given expenses of a few pounds to cover fuel costs for handfastings all around the UK counts as a 'pay service'? It's not a commercial venture.

Comment: Regardless of what this couple charge, they and their services should not be advertised on an encyclopedia, especially as the many other organisations who've been offering such a services for decades are not. It's misleading and could give the impression that this is the only organisation offering such a service.

Anyway, if people want a pagan handfasting service, or even to find out about paganism at all, they can look on specifically pagan sites, (easily found through any search engine) or follow the links under paganism

They don't need a misleading promotional advert trying to convince them about the importance of any one organisation on Wikipedia.

A page containing a general description of paganism and links to other groups is all that is needed. A page called, 'Pagan Association' is not.

Comment: There already are two, with links. paganism and neopaganism

• Comment- how about rename as Pagan Association- Midlands, England as this group only holds any events or has any active prescence in that region? And have a more objective tone as opposed to 'local pagans loved the idea' and such ad nauseam. There are several pagan groups in Birmingham this page could be subsumed under one of that name. Even then, is an analysis of the regional factions of a minority religion worthy of note, when large pagan groups such as the Druid Network only have a stub, and the Pagan Federation, the UK's largest pagan organisation by far and a registered charity, has no page at all.

Comment: Updated to include other pagan organisations - not sure if there are any suggestions as to how it should then be renamed? Perhaps National Pagan organisations within the UK? Incidentally the Pagan Federation was stripped of its charitable status several years ago and is trying to regain it through PEBBLE. --User:RhiannonB 23:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

'And the relevance of that is??'

Comment This is not a pagan information update page -it's to discuss the deletion of an article on Wikipedia. Your 'incidental' comment goes beyond incidental into off-topic.--

There is an entire 'pagan Wiki' where pagan organisations can be described it's http://paganwiki.org/ User:Acropolis now They have a link from paganism

Simply place your URL on the links page of paganism or neopaganism You don't need a seperate Wikipedia article for pagan organisations. If need be you could place a subheading UK there for pagan organisations in the UK.

Then if people are interested, they can go direct to the site, or to the many pagan sites that provide descriptions of available UK and local pagan organisations. This is an encyclopedia not a special interest notice board or even a site solely for those in the UK. User:Acropolis now

Comment: Pagan Association UK is the official name, and as members come from as far afield as Berwick Upon Tweed, London, South Wales, and Cornwall, it's a fair name to use. The contacts of the Pagan Association spread even further afield, and as there are many people who use Wikipedia to find out more about paganism, giving them a safe and known point of contact offline seems to me to be a good use of Wikipedia. If someone from within the Pagan Federation wishes to add to the page then we could share the resource. I believe the Children of Artemis is the biggest pagan organisation in the UK with something like 5,000 members, however this is a commercial organisation. --User:RhiannonB 23:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment at least rename this. "Pagan Association" means "an association of Pagans", not particularly this one. I'd rename it myself at least to "Pagan Association UK" (pending verification) but as it stands this is a completely non-encyclopaedic title. Tonywalton  | Talk 22:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I am not voting on this article either way, but I would refer people to the debate on "AfD" for "Martin Williams". I don't know much about this organisation, or whether it's worthy of inclusion, but I felt "Martin Williams" who was a member wasn't. Judge for yourselves... --MacRusgail 20:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

not that parochial goings-on are worthy of an entry, anyway. Where would it end? Every University society has an entry?

• Keep Correct me if I'm wrong, this is the UK Pagan Association, it used to be in London and now has its headquarters in Birmingham, where their first meet outside London was. They've been in the news - BBC Birmingham , BBC Birmingham, albeit BBC local editions. It's only just been written, give it some time at least to refine and get wikified. And move to the group's proper title Pagan Association UK, which is a redirect to this article's page (at the moment). Alf ^melmac 19:45, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[made edit (strike through: must have been a glitch) I came back to do. Alf ^melmac 21:54, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

correction No. The particular pagan association refered to has always been based in Birmingham where the founder and leadership live. You must be mistaking it for another of the same name.

And they don't have a 'headquarters'-unless you count their sitting room.

Having read the article you flagged, I can assure you that this organisation is based in Birmingham, and as for 'first gathering outside London'- they've met in a pub at least once a week in Birmingham for some time. I suspect this is a misprint in the article. At any rate it's wholly misleading. User:Acropolis_now

This is a global encyclopedia, not for things that have been on -a few minute's segment- of a -local- programme on -one- channel in the-UK-.

Anyone can be on the local news- especially if they ring the media, are holding a pagan ritual, wearing robes or dancing round a fire.

All they need is their URL under pagan or neopagan.

• Comment This discussion is somewhat confusing, because of newcomers who are not familiar with the use of four tildes ~~~~ to sign an entry with a date-timestamp. There also have been edits out of sequential order. However, it appears the only vote from an experienced wikipedian so far is the keep vote from Alf ^melmac. There is one remove (a very strange way to spell delete) from an anonymous editor using IP 84.69.16.92. The only contributions from this IP are this discussion and the AfD on Martin Williams. --WCFrancis 17:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete verifiability is extremely limited, as is notability. The BBC page is about it. The association page appears to be gone, placeholder there. It appears the Pagan Federation would be much more notable and there is no article for it at present (although this one could be moved and rewritten for that organization since half the article is already about the Federation). -WCFrancis 17:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment That 'keep' vote was by the creator of the site, by the way.

She is trying to mislead people (as she is with the whole article) into thinking that her organisation is a 'UK pagan organisation' on a par with the Pagan Federation. Which it is not. Anyway she could just add some UK links under paganism or edit that page. But she wouldn't do that as her intention is Vanity and to mislead about her organisation's status, rather than to be in any way useful. Acropolis now 11:23, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Electric Universe concept

Delete: This article should be deleted according to the "no original research" policy. Please read the article and check the links in it before voting. The recuring defense to keeping it is the large number of sources, but if you read the sources they don't talk about this. For example the NASA link talks about electricity in our atmosphere causing light effects and such, and not about this. Also several facts in the article are obviously wrong, like the fact that craters are caused by lightning bolts instead of meteors, which has direct evidence against. Elfguy 18:18, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

"The recuring defense [..] but if you read the sources they don't talk about this" The Electric Universe concept covers many areas, including the idea that electricity plays a much greater role in the universe than generally accpeted. In this respect, the theory is consistent with many existing and accepted theories.

"several facts in the article are obviously wrong" The article does not present this idea as a fact, but as a theory; I am not aware of any evidence that proves that craters can not be created my electical discharges. --Iantresman 20:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Elfguy didn't say they couldn't be, and saying "there's no evidence to disprove it" brings you into Flying Spaghetti Monster territory. — ceejayoz ^★ 20:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Elfguy said that several facts "are obviously wrong" without any substantiation. And many statements may be falsified by an "ugly fact", but without either, it is just opinion. --Iantresman 21:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep: I'm not a believer in the Electric Universe theory, but I suggest that this article remain. I don't mind an having an unreviewed scientific theory present as long as the issue is known on a global scale (The number of Google hits and the number of editors on this article suggest it is) and it is said in the article that the theory is unsupported by the scientific community. My reasoning behind this is the article can still have a historic value even if it no longer has a scientific one. It also appears from the talk page that deletion was discussed before and a consensus was not reached. I hope we are not simply debating the same points we did before. -Solarusdude 19:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Many of the references appear to be wrongly appropriated. Others are unscientific. So the question seems to me to be whether this is a notable social phenomenon (as it's not a scientific theory). I don't think it is but I'm open to being convinced otherwise. Dlyons493 19:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: I agree with Solarusdude. In my opinion, the whole Electric Universe thing is crackpot psuedoscience that's been picked up by the oddball fringe, but it does have a significant group of followers (for whatever reason) who are good at making noise. As long as the article clearly states that this is not mainstream science and is widely dismissed and riduculed as lacking merit by most every mainstream physicist, I'm fine with it being here. I do think, however, that the article has gotten badly out of control, and that someone needs to wrestle it back into having some semblance of objectivity. — Cory Maylett

Keep: As the main author of this article, I should mention that it has already gone through the Votes for deletion process, where originality was discussed. See previous Votes for deletion. The article survived the vote. --Iantresman 20:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, per nom. — ceejayoz ^★ 20:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Rename "Electric Universe (theory)" - I have heard of it, and don't agree with it, but think it is worthy enough to retain. --MacRusgail 20:44, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• From the 20 July closing: "The result of the debate was no consensus." Lack of consensus in a previous VfD does not establish a precedent to keep. Saying it "survived the vote" is a stretch not equivalent to "achieved consensus to keep". Barno 20:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: It doesn't explain what the electric universe theory is supposed to be about. Electricity is not a new discovery and electrical charge is considered in many theories. The article doesn't identify what's supposed to be missing in the mainstream theories. Peter Grey 21:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Rename per MacRusgail. Other than that, it is very clear to me that this is a very real pseudoscience, and the right course of action is to remove any portions of the article that are OR or unsourced. Bunchofgrapes 23:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable crackpottery. The article is way too long, even if kept. Quale 23:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Yes, it's a total crock, but it's a common one. We should have an article explaining what it is and why it's wrong. --Apyule 01:29, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This kind of BS should not be part of any self-respecting enyclopedia. Shadow demon 02:21, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, analogously to Flat earth. The Electric Universe stuff is likely pseudoscientific BS, but this article seems at least equally devoted to presenting the critiques and failure of the theory, not cheerleading for the junk science. As with Flat earth, it is possible to cover junk science without being junk science. -- MCB 06:54, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep this is exactly the type of article we should be keeping, providing it gives a clear picture of the particular concept, it does not matter two hoots about it being a notable unscientific thingamabob. Has it made enough impact on our culture? I would say yes. Alf ^melmac 20:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

If you believe this phenomenon to be non-notable or non-encyclopedic, state your case, but saying X isn't nearly as well-known as very-famous Y or Z doesn't really shed any light on the issue, does it? Bunchofgrapes 04:04, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
    • That's what I said. We can't include each and every crackpottery on Earth. From what I see, this particular one is very minor, non-notable in the extreme. Pilatus 11:31, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
      • For what it's worth, I had seen mention of this crackpottery before I ever saw the Wikipedia article. I'm pretty sure it was from this Wired News story. Bunchofgrapes 22:33, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Hella (disambiguation) was nominated for deletion on 2005-08-04. The result of the discussion was "keep and rename to Hella (slang)". For the prior discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hella (disambiguation).

This dicdef is already on Wiktionary. I see little hope for expansion beyond a dictionary entry. There was a vfd last month [16], but the result was rename, and there does not appear to have been much discussion about whether this needs an article. Friday (talk) 19:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose - It's too soon to revisit the issue after the previous vote (rename, not delete), and the content of the article (discussion of references to usage in songs, etc) rises above straight dicdef and perhaps above the threshold for being encyclopedic. -- Curps 00:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Move to wictionary. Delete Since the only way to get to this article is through the disambiguation page (save the unlikely typing in of Hella (slang)). I agree with Worldtraveller, just put a wictionary link on the disamb page. --Darkfred ^{Talk to me} 11:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Domain hack

Delete as vanity, neologism, website advertising: The first half-dozen pages of Google results for "domain hack" suggest that no-one uses this term in this manner (they're all referring to hackers grabbing control of a domain or similar). The article has been edited almost entirely by one IP range, and the only page I found in the Google results that does use this sense of the term is [17], which coined the term a year ago and presumably created the article (to which the site links; also, the IP range that edited the article and the owner of xona.com correspond geographically.) — mendel ☎ 19:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• ...oh crap. It's a neologism? Dammit. There has to be a name for the phenomenon, though. No vote yet. DS 20:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: Interesting article that clarifies an emerging practice in domain name creation. As per Mendel's neologism reference, though, is there a better term than "domain hack"? jareha 20:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Hm, I see what you mean about the practice being notable beyond the problems with this article. Does it deserve more than a paragraph on Domain name system? It doesn't need a catchy name that way, and it won't be an advert for their website (where, oddly enough, they claim a trademark on "domain hack"). — mendel ☎ 21:07, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep: rather informative and amusing, even if not quite encyclopedical. --tyomitch 22:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep but rename to something sensible (I'm thinking about what it could be). This isn't a "hack", but it's notable. Tuvalu (.tv) has made a lot of money out of a similar domain name phenomenon, after all. Tonywalton  | Talk 22:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: (I'm not sure how to properly edit this page, so please format it preperly afterwards.) To clarify, I am the creator of the article and the creator of the Domain Hacks search utility. As for self-promotion, the article was not created for the promotion of my website. I would have linked to any and all websites better than mine (along with mine), if I could have found any, any at all, but I couldn't. I could only find a few blog entries almost a year after the creation of my utility. I eventually found V3's site. All of these sites I linked to. I did my best to find as much information on domain hacks as I could. There is truly very little information out there. You can see this is true, or else you would already have another name/title for the article in mind. Anyways, I created the article (and my search utility) as this is something big, and there exists little to no information on it. When I programmed the Domain Hacks search, no one else had come up with a name for these type of domains. If they had, I would have used it. I searched very hard and found nothing, so I had to create a name myself. I came up with "domain hack", even though I appreciate the media uses "domain hack" in a completely unrelated sense. If "domain hack" is not used widely enough to have a wikipedia article, then I suggest to rename to "unconventional domain names" (and rename email hack to "unconventional email addresses") and change the article to say that I suggest (and actively use) the name of "domain hack" and "email hack". As far as I know, I am the first one to come up with any name at all. You can appreciate the difficulty in coming up with a more 'proper' name, I can tell by your comments. It is hard. It would also help to consider that the media tends to use "hack" in the system breach sense, not the sense of making a system do something it was never intended to do, which is the type of "hack" I had in mind during the naming of these domains. "Hack" and "hacker" predate computer security, anyway, so my version of "hack" I believe to be more accurate. Because the media uses "domain hack" in another sense, I would NOT use this as a reason to not call these domain names "domain hacks". (That is my personal opinion.) I have held #1 in Google for domain hacks for a long time. So, with the plural search, it favors to keep the name. As for trademark issues, there is nothing to worry about. I put that "(tm)" to protect my www.domainhacks.com domain name, so nobody would come along afterwards and claim they have more right to use it (with their own trademark) and steal it away. It was done out of protection, not for money making reasons. I solved the situation by moving the search utility under the www.xona.com domain name. I can remove those trademarks, although "Domain Hacks" will more than likely remain the name of my search utility. The trademark was never intended to make money. Anyways, I wrote the article under the name of "domain hack" for two main reasons: 1) it is the only name I know of and 2) it is the only name that is currently in use (albeit by myself via my search utility, none-the-less no other name is in use). I thought, perhaps incorrectly, that this was enough to justify the wikipedia article of the same title. I hope this clarifies my position. Please do whatever is best, of course. 137.186.22.240 01:38, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: As mendel states, it is a neologism, unused outside of its inventor's website, and is a poor neologism at that. (It does not employ the work "hack" in any of its common meanings). Useless and uninformative. -- riotnrrd 15:49, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I coined the term, but I did not invent the idea. The idea still exists, is very popular, and deserves recognition. A rename maybe, but not a delete. Explain why a delete and not a rename. The only question here is the title/name, not the content. As for usage of "hack", it is common to use "hack" in terms of a "programming exploit" or "clever hack", in where things are done that were never meant to be able to do. So that cannot be used as the reason to reject the name. "Domain hack" is the only title that exists and the only one in use. However, it is only used by me, so this is the only reason why the title should be rejected, but not deleted (just renamed to something else, but what?) As for your "useless and uninformative" comment, it is a very individualistic (and emotional?) comment and is obviously not true for everyone. As always, please do what is best. If a rename is in order, what should it be renamed to??? I am new to this. 137.186.22.29 22:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Simply put, your concept of a "domain hack" is that people make words out of domain names. That's it. Sure, it's clever to use the top-level-domain "icio.us" to create memorable domain names such as "del.icio.us" in a namespace already heavily occupied (delicious.com, org and net being taken), but is it worthy of note? Is registering the domain "del.icio.us" substantially different from registering "delicious.com?" In the broadest possible sense, this may be a phenomonon that deserves a name, but does it deserve a wikipedia article? I don't think so. So, when I said this entry was "Useless and uniformative" I meant that the article itself provides no other information than "some people register clever domain names and here is a list of them." -- riotnrrd 16:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I believe it is worthy of a note. Perhaps it needs to become more popular, more of a phenomena, before Wikipedia will accept it... not sure. But, it IS something, and I looked for info on Wikipedia FIRST when I went to research it, expecting it to be here in great detail. There's something that told me it should be here. It just felt like Wikipedia type stuff. Hope this poor explanation makes some sense to all of you. 137.186.22.208 20:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• I was thinking about this some more, since there seems to be a strong "Move it... somewhere?" sentiment. There are essentially three parts to the current article: the part about people doing this with domains, the part about the history of "Domain hack" and the related website and its founder, and the list of names. I suspect there's consensus that the phrase "Domain hack" and the history of the related website aren't encyclopedic, so there's that section done. The list itself is borderline; there is a website about this stuff, and where there's a good external resource for something like this then there's no point in keeping a list here, better to provide an external link. So that leaves the observation that people do this — that can be merged into Domain name system with an external link. Thoughts? — mendel ☎ 20:14, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia can maintain the list better than any other site, so is that something to consider? I think the list is interesting, and would wish it to remain on Wikipedia somewhere. 137.186.22.208 20:38, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • So IF a rename, what would it be renamed to? What are these domain names called? How should one refer to them? 137.186.22.208 23:56, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete As they author seems to make clear above, the term was coined to advertise his search tool. --InShaneee 20:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Not true, it was coined to have a name and be able to write about it. The search tool could be called what else? Not that this affects the outcome, just making it clear. 137.186.22.208 20:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
    • As recently as Tuesday you were claiming it as a trademark over on the search tool: Google cache — mendel ☎ 21:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I explained the trademark issue already, it was trademarked to protect the www.domainhacks.com domain name from being stolen away. I removed this as it basically makes no sense, which this discussion brought to light. (Thanks for this.) This does not mean that I coined the name "domain hack" to promote my search, which was the point. I can see why you could think this, but it is incorrect. Think of this from this perspective might help: Whatever name I decided on would probably have ended up in the title of my search. I.e. if I could go make the first domain name search, I would probably call it domains.com or domainnames.com. I hope this clarifies my position and thought process on the matter. Again, I doubt this matters. The trademark thing is now irrelevant. 137.186.22.208 23:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep -- I like the article, and would like to see it stay around in some form under some title, but I'm not sure the current title is more than a neologism. Perhaps it ought to be renamed, but I'm not sure to what. *Dan T.* 20:13, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I am also unsure of this being neologism. If a rename occurs, my search utility will also be renamed... the end result is the same as what exists now, the only difference is that I did not create the new name. 137.186.22.135 15:44, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge -- the phrase as it is used in the article is an invention of the author, as Mendel pointed out. However, the content itself isn't bad; I can see the first couple of sections being compressed a little and merged into Domain name#Unconventional domain names with appropriate rewording. In my opinion, the phenomenon itself is notable; the name isn't. --David Wahler (talk) 19:14, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Helensburgh and Lomond

This is an artificial area. PatGallacher 20:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I will expand on my reasons for calling for deletion. I am not disputing that there is such an area, and its boundaries are clearly defined. However it is not an area in its own right, it is defined as that part of the historic county of Dunbartonshire which went into Argyll and Bute at the local govt. reorganisation of the 1990s. Granted, including the Helensburgh area was controversial. "Helensburgh and Lomond" is, as far as I am aware, not a term which is significantly used either officially or colloquially, I had never heard of it before I came across it on Wikipedia a few minutes ago. It does not even include the majority of the shore of Loch Lomond. I recognise that Helensburgh and Loch Lomond do merit inclusion. Anything useful in this article should be moved to Argyll and Bute, I think a lot of it will be there already. PatGallacher 20:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm going with Pat Gallacher on this. It should be merged with better known areas. I am surprised it is not called "and Loch Lomond", "and Lomondside" etc...--MacRusgail 20:47, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• I'm happy to go with a merge to Argyle and Bute. I'd certainly never heard of this division of the area. However, a quick google gives 52,000 hits and indicates that the designation is being extensively used by the local authority and other government agencies as a regional subdivision. Thus, if it were neccessary to split an article on Argle and Bute, this doesn't seem like an unreasonable way to go. PS since nomination calls for move/merge, it could have been done without nominating for deletion. --Doc (?) 21:23, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all areas with communities of interest - a Google search shows 53,000 hits [20]. It seems to be a council ward [21] and is worthy of retention as a real place with real community of interest. Capitalistroadster 01:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• On balance I'd have to say Merge and redirect. Unless some large contribution comes along about it as a council ward, or on the controversy about its "defection" to A&B, in which case it can be split back out happily enough. Alai 16:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all troops. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Wikipedia probably isn't the place for articles on individual Boy Scout Troops. I'm sure it's a great scout troop, but it's not really notable. ;-) — Cory Maylett 00:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There are over 43,000 Boy Scout troops in the USA alone. [23] They should not be considered individually encyclopedic. --Metropolitan90 00:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, although the back of my brain lives in fear that Scout troops will become the new elementary schools in about a month. Lord Bob 03:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment My understanding of the above comments is that individual scout troops aren't notable, but the only guideline that seems to apply is Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Two questions: 1) surely some troops, such as Troop 1, are notable because of their tremendous historical influence, so how do you decide which other troops should also have the distinction? 2) at what level does a scout organization become worthy of inclusion: district? council? region? 13:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Troop numbers, I believe, are assigned by Councils, so there are likely to be several non-notable "Troop 1"s. I was in the Birmingham Area Council's Troop 1 and I am not aware of anything notable about that organization except perhaps our stranglehold on the canoe-battle competitions at Camp Sequoyah. In my opinion a Troop could be notable, but that would have to be established in the article. More likely, a good article about a Council that might include some information about particular Troops would be encyclopedic. Dystopos 16:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Note that most states have multiple councils; there are probably other Troop 26's in other parts of Oklahoma. At what level does a scout organization become worthy of inclusion? If it were up to me, the national level: the Boy Scouts of America are notable but their regions, councils, and districts do not need articles of their own. --Metropolitan90 02:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Office of Economics, Environmental Analysis and Administration

Feddle gubmint jibberjabbercruft. Heavy use of the word 'We' makes me think this was cut & pasted (or hacked) by a govco drone with too much time on his hands. Viva Liberty! Delete The Government! Eddie.willers 22:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and Clean up Has been tagged for clean up for a year. I am going to add it to my to do list and remove first person point of view. Long live big government! Psy guy ^(talk) 22:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh puhleeeze! The fact that it has been tagged for clean up for this long means that either it's of no interest or no one with sufficient knowledge has stepped forward to undertake the cleanup. Additionally, the article suffers from obscurity in that it fails to sufficiently explain the position within the federal superstructure of this particular office. If that wasn't enough, since when did minor collections of govco drones become notable?? What has this department achieved that merits an encyclopaedic article? Answers on a post card please...

Postmodern jibberjabber that makes many 'learned' references to other scholars without actually giving any details of their work in support of the premise being advanced. Delete as pseudo-hoax - I'm sure there's something in it, but not here, alas. Eddie.willers 22:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Sketch character no less notable than any other character filed in Category:Fictional comedy characters. We're playing the "different rules for Canadians" game again, I see. Either keep or delete all fictional comedy characters. Bearcat 01:25, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • As a data point, I'd vote "Merge into the show page, unless it's long enough to need splitting out" for everyone in that category except Bob and Doug McKenzie, and that because those hosers transcended SCTV to become entrenched in the Canadian psyche. — mendel ☎ 01:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Would you say "Either keep or delete all real people"? — ciphergoth 07:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Unless you're actually attempting to suggest that Chicken Lady is somehow inherently less notable than Roseanne Roseannadanna, this is a false comparison as "all real people" are not necessarily of equal notability to each other within a specifically-defined category. Bearcat 17:11, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I agree that the article you cite is no more notable - maybe you should list it in AfD? I don't understand the second part of your argument. Like real people, fictional people vary in notability. Some real people and some fictional people have articles who probably shouldn't. I see no reason why Wikipedia should have treat the notability of the fictional very differently from that of the real. — ciphergoth 15:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
        • The point is that there is no article in Category:Fictional comedy characters that can be legitimately said to be on a different side of the "keep vs. delete" line than Chicken Lady is. Bearcat 22:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Recurring character from a major television show. Paul 00:04, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. Chicken lady et. al have no notability outside of KitH. The fact that other Wikipedians made poor choices for article inclusion does not obligate us to do the same. -- Corvus 18:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto-area roads

Bulk delete the following road articles: Coxwell Avenue, Denison Street, Eastern Avenue (Toronto), Midland Avenue, Neville Park Boulevard, Transit Road. No cultural or historical significance to the GTA or Toronto. Note that this follows from recent AfDs of Toronto roads (see Warden Avenue, O'Connor Drive, Steeles Avenue, and Broadview Avenue) to try to establish a consensus position related to various road types. Mindmatrix 23:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep all. Major streets; Coxwell Road has a subway stop at Bloor Street. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • You think Transit Road is a major street? Oh my...for those that don't know, Transit Road connects two roads at the edge of a bus and subway stop, and is at most 500 m long. Mindmatrix 00:56, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 00:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all. Why make a person open another tab (or window) for two sentences? If someone really wants to acknowledge the existance of these streets in Wikipedia then do it one article. Describe it in, say, Road network of Toronto. Then maybe it will have some kind of order (you can do it north to south) or cohension. Roads do not exist by themselves. They are dependent upon a network of other road. Describe them as such. --maclean25 01:16, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Okay, I live in Toronto, and I say delete all. Not notable. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^{(Contributions)} 01:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all. I defer to the Toronto expertise of Purplefeltangel. -- Grev -- Talk 04:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Bulk delete. Ignoring the fact that these pages are completely uninformative stubs, the very concept of trying to describe geographic information in prose is misguided. "Beginning at Lakeshore Boulevard near Ashbridge's Bay, the street travels north to O'Connor Drive". Do they expect someone to actually navigate streets by reading this? Who would look in an encyclopedia to find which streets intersect when there is MapQuest, Google Maps, Yahoo maps, and dozens of other web sites that show actual maps of the area? Who's going to keep this stuff updated? There are street changes in every city every year.

Look, I agree with some city street articles; those which describe the history or cultural significance of a street. Look at Commercial Drive for an example. Stuff that doesn't go out of date when there's road construction is encyclopedic, but describing directions and street intersections in text has a cost/benefit ratio approaching infinity. I shudder to think what art articles would have been if this policy was followed (The Mona Lisa is a painting with some dark green along the top, shading into a lighter green as you progress down the left side until some darker green arcs appear ...) -- Corvus 04:29, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep roadcruft. --SPUI (talk) 16:06, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all. I'm also a Torontonian, and simply can't agree with the idea that any old run-of-the-mill road deserves a Wikipedia article. To merit a Wikipedia article, a road needs to have demonstrable historical or cultural significance beyond its existence as a strip of pavement; none of these have that. Bearcat 17:23, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Describing city streets in Wikipedia seems silly. Unless a street is notable and worthy of special mention, it just doesn't, IMHO, merit its own article. Notable streets might include: Pennsylvania Avenue, Champs Elysee, Wall Street, Bourbon Street, Broadway, Downing Street, etc., but I seriously doubt these roads in Toronto are anything more than average, run-of-the-mill thoughfares whose only real significance are as traffic arteries. These streets seem better suited for a good map, not an encyclopedia. — Cory Maylett 18:00, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually, I have no problem with stubs - I've created a few myself. My nomination was based solely on the fact that I don't think these articles have the potential to be encyclopedic. Mindmatrix 14:38, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
