[edit] Chad Schmidt
I'm just fixing an incorrectly formatted AfD nomination. No vote. --Metropolitan90 00:25, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Copyvio direct cut+paste of part of the movie's IMDB entry. It does credit IMDB as the source, but that isn't good enough. I would say, though, that as a film it probably deserves an article, even though it isn't out yet. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Delete the copyvio, and recreate the article again. Jaxl | talk 01:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- I rewrote the article as a stub and removed the copyvio material. Keep.Chick Bowen 21:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Chick Bowen's article is worth keeping and expanding. If copywright laws make retention of the original article in the history problematic, perhaps Chick Bowen's rewrite could be copied to the temp page and copied over when the original copyvio is deleted.

[edit] Etch-a-Sketch Animator 2000
Unnotable, discontinued product with little or no historic or encyclopedic value. Received less than 100 google hits (how unnotable is that?).
- Delete. Toycruft. --SuperDude 03:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or weak merge with Etch-a-Sketch. Cartridge-based gaming systems, even obscure/unsuccessful ones, are of considerable interest. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment, no vote. I'm unsure about this. This could be worth something if expanded. However, the article has been posted since August 3 and no one has added anything since then. Perhaps merge, per Andrew above, would be best. ♠ DanMS 00:24, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete I doubt anyone cares enough about the topic to take to effort to merge it. By voting to merge it, someone has to do the work of merging content of one article he/she doesn't care about to another article that he/she doesn't care about. I have done that a couple of times. If anyone else cares about the topic, let them merge it, otherwise delete it. --Rogerd 18:12, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Support Brighterorange's merge and redirect--Rogerd 03:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- boldly speedily merged/redirected since I care enough to do it. I had one when I was little, and although it was a totally unusable piece of junk, it still holds a special place in my heart. If someone disagrees, feel free to reopen the discussion. — brighterorange (talk) 19:05, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you. If is easy to say "someone should merge this", and harder to be that "someone". I am not talking about this article in particular, but merge requests in general. Again, Thanks--Rogerd 19:22, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Support Brighterorange's merge and redirect. Not separately notable enough for an article, but worth keeping as a section in the notable Etch-a-Sketch. If Kappa or Andrew have historical references, there's room in the Animator 2000 section to add citations about technical advancements or impact on the Etch-a-Sketch hobby (?) without needing to break it back out into its own article.

[edit] Biolich
Non notable neologism. A few hits on Google [1], but related to some unknown music band, not to the term. No online references to the sense assigned by the article. Shauri 00:31, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- The page has been modified after posting this AfD, and now it seems to refer to the afforementioned band. I still mantain the position to delete the article, now on the basis of non notability (see Google results above). Shauri 01:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Since it is made up of two incompatible root words, wouldn't this meet speedy delete as nonsense? Living-undead. Pure-contaminated. Although we do use the combination wet-dry ( with the connective or implied). WCFrancis 01:00, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Well, technically "living dead" is a common contradictory-sounding term for zombies. Still, I'd say delete as neologism, based on Shauri's research. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:08, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of main streets for major cities
Another List that if it stays it probaly going to expand until there is no expanison left. And it is also a weak page.EX: click Orange Avenue and it take u to orange (fruit). and also Miami Avenue is not a major street in Miami Delete --Aranda56 01:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ouch. Delete and make into a category instead. Such a list is by nature unmaintainable. Besides, this sentence "The first street listed is the major north-south street …. The second street is the major east-west street…." is perfectly US-centric; in cities not built on a square grid there are either many or just one "main street". Pilatus 01:30, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- Based on the fact most street articles are about American and Canadian streets, I don't find it entirely surprising he made that comment. - Mgm|(talk) 08:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Most cities on a square grid are in North America due to the way the continent developed. Off the cuff I can come up with just two cities laid out in a square grid in all of Europe, which are the Baixa Pombalina in Lisbon and Mannheim in Germany. The whole entry feels as if it never even occurred to the author that a town might not be laid out in a square grid. Anti-Americanism is something else. Pilatus 11:27, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, this information should go into the articles on the cities. -- Kjkolb 02:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

-
- No, such users would consult Wikiatlas or Kappapedia. Pilatus 11:27, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: it doesn't work for non-square-grid cities, the information means very little out of context and the list will always be incomplete (and/or huge). Loganberry (Talk) 13:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Make into category. Andrew pmk | Talk 17:19, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Make this a catagory but begrudgingly so Stu 17:22, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Categorify actually quite useful but not as a list. ♥purplefeltangel (talk) ♥ (contribs) 17:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Categorify. It's every major city's main street. Superm401 | Talk 22:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and do not make into a category as per Kjkolb. --Metropolitan90 23:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Categorify or keep, for that matter. If this category turns out to be impossible to maintain (a strong possibility) I'd reconsider the issue after giving it a chance to develop. It should also be noted that a city hardly needs a square plan to have a main north-south thoroughfare and a main east-west one. Christopher Parham (talk) 23:54, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- No it doesn't, but many cities (eg in Britain) have main streets that wiggle around so much that they can't even be said to be roughly north-south or east-west. And what if a city's main street is exactly NE-SW or NW-SE? Loganberry (Talk) 03:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Some cities don't really have a main street anyway, even those with a historical main street. Boston, Massachusetts for example -- while the historical main street was Washington Street, Washington St is now mostly one-way through most of downtown, and there are at least a half a dozen streets that could qualify as a main street but for one or another failing (don't pass through downtown, don't even make it to downtown, don't go all the way through the city, what have you). Across the river, Cambridge, Massachusetts has a Main Street that acts as a mostly-irrelevant westbound feeder road to the real main street, Massachusetts Avenue. And New York City, though its historical main street is Broadway, has so many major streets that it cannot be meaningfully said to have a main street at all. Haikupoet 05:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Under the definition that this article is using, Fifth Avenue is the main street in Manhattan for dividing the "east" streets from the "west" streets, and there is no main street for dividing the "north" streets from the "south" streets because Manhattan doesn't use those designations. This article is only relevant to cities with a square grid where streets are identified as east, west, north, and south, which does not apply to Boston, Cambridge, and most cities in Europe. --Metropolitan90 20:02, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Well that's another problem with this article, isn't it -- a rather quirky definition of what qualifies as a main street. I go with the person who pointed out below that major cities have downtowns and CBDs, and the "main street" concept is more or less irrelevant. Haikupoet 20:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete *drew 07:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Oxymoron. 'Major cities' do not have 'Main streets', they have CBDs (Central Business District). Small towns have Main streets, and are entirely built around them. The list has to get a lot more specific in order to be useful. Does it mean the busiest roads? or the ones with the most shopping? Or business (ie. highest rent per square foot)? In major cities these are all different roads. Btw, Delete. --maclean25 08:40, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. A category could be made of "List of main streets for major American cities", but this would be simply meaningless throughout much of the rest of the world. Vizjim 13:51, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Inherently innacurate (note Madison in Chicago, e.g.--why not Warren Blvd.? Why not I-290? why not Eisenhower?). As for a category--anyone is welcome to make a category who wishes, but it would be a lot of work and isn't really relevant to the deletion of this page. Chick Bowen 17:29, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Because Madison Street in Chicago divides the north streets from the south streets, as State Street divides the east streets from the west streets. The article is accurate, but the topic is not encyclopedic. --Metropolitan90 20:02, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, you mean according to the original grid--that is, nominally--not according to current geography. In that case, if there is a category (and I still have my doubts about the usefulness of such a category), it should certainly not be named "Main streets," which is misleading, but something like, "Grid-dividing streets." Chick Bowen 20:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, since the list is not very well defined. Though if the information were kept the list would be far more useful than a category. How am I supposed to find the main street in Atlanta from a category unless I already know it to be Peachtree Street, for example. Flowerparty■ 03:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was DELETE. On the raw numbers, it's 7d, 3k (surprisingly small WPian turnout here) with the struck-through comments discounted. I have, however, read the debate and clearly the deleters are not persuaded by the keepers, and the restatement of the arguments does not appear to have changed anyone's mind. I'm satisfied that there is a consensus to delete here among those who did not edit blatantly in response to the messages on websites. And to those who mentioned the point: Wikipedia is not a democracy. -Splashtalk 02:15, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Nomination: Totally non notable webcomic, have a look at it's website here and its forums here here. This is a very very minor webcomic, with hardly any readers.

What's more, it is not a 'very very minor' webcomic, I am linked from the homepage of a 'Dayfree Press' member, get an average 1000 page views a day, and has been mentioned on Phil Kahn's site, which I'm told is great. There are so many poorly written or insulting articles you could be deleting. Leave me alone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hijamiefans (talk • contribs)Keep - from BFC fan Steven McG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.8.140 (talk • contribs)Keep - David Mooney... daily reader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.103.160 (talk • contribs)Keep - Dave - It's not a minor minor webcomic as the person has suggested, with over 1000 hits per day (tested using traffic-master) which is a lot for a webcomic. Also it fulfils the requirements in the Alternate Proposal. With over 500 comics in the archive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.212.50.175 (talk • contribs)Keep - Tim - Listen you, this is the bestest webcomic around, and just because it doesnt get the "required" hits means nothing. I want to see you produce a comic 3 times a week and go to school, an have an active social life! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.158.200 (talk • contribs)Keep - Very cool comic, very cool indeed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.110.133.152 (talk • contribs)- Keep - My vote is not based on being a fan of BFC. I wrote this article and I have written articles about many other comics (Sam and Fuzzy, Her! Girl vs Pig etc). It should be noted that this article survived a previous battle with the VfD page, so I'm wondering why it's up for deletion again[?]. Anyways, the linked to forums aren't active, but that's mostly because the artist doesn't push them at all. The artist has an active readership (numbers mentioned) and holds contests every week that have active participation. A rather minor comic, I agree, but one that is mentioned on enough other sites (Phil Kahn, plus this author is the co/guest-author for No 4th Wall to Break) that it warrants an entry simply to avoid having dead links all around wikipedia. For this reason, and the webcomic readership numbers, and its clear fulfillment of webcomic alternate proposal (over 500 comics in archive since 2003, including LunchBreakToons comics) I vote for keep. --Tedzsee 22:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

That is the cause of all of these IP address votes. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 02:28, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- SOCKPUPPET INVASION - Yep, the front page of the comic now tells people to spam the wiki. A link straight here telling every reader to do the spam. Please, the place for minor webcomics is Comixpedia, where an article for your page already exists. Wikipedia is not a repository for internet links. And yes, there are rubbish and insulting articles on wikipedia, and yes they will get deleted over time. I still maintain that your webcomic is not notable and the nomination still stands. - Hahnchen 03:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment.I agree with part of the above statement. Discount the IP Address votes, but I would still vote Keep. As for this article being an internet link, I take offense to that as I worked rather hard to write it from a neutral viewpoint and include information the way I would on any of the many webcomic articles that I've written. Calling the article rubbish is not only unneccessary, it is also innaccurate, considering that the article is written in the same way any other Wikipedia webcomic article is written. If you're going to VfD the article on the basis that it is non-notable (in your opinion), that's one thing. But starting a flame-war and questioning the authenticity of the article in the first place is not only innaccurate, it's unnecessary and insulting.--Tedzsee 04:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - Please re read my comment, I did not mean to imply that your article was rubbish. It was a reply to the webcomic author, who claimed we should be deleting other insulting articles. The reply was to the webcomic author and his remarks. I was considering replying to your comment up top earlier, but didn't. I respect your say Tedzsee, and I understand that you were just filling in redlinks. But the trouble is, those redlinks should not be there in the first place, I think in future, they will probably be removed. WP:COMIC is clearly way too lax, please compare it with WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO. The place for these articles is on ComixPedia, not wikipedia. - Hahnchen 04:20, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

-
- Personally, I've never really been a fan of the Alexa rating system because of its flaws (only counting Alexa users for traffic makes little sense to me), but that aside, this comic meets the second condition, as its creator is now a certified co-creator of the comic No 4th Wall to Break, which was a webcartooning pioneer-type comic, a member of Dayfree Press, and has had an article on Wikipedia for a long time.
-
- Secondly, it should be noted that even No 4th Wall to Break has a less-than-stellar Alexa rating (662,339), most likely due to its author's constant hiatus and then sudden outbursts of creativity (which is why I'm really against the whole Alexa thing).
-
- Thirdly, as for removing redlinks, that seems pretty ridiculous to me personally, and further lessens this encyclopedia's role as a knowledge-gathering forum. That you have a red-link leading to an article about something that several people seem to have a valid interest in, and that that redlink gets followed and a new article gets created, seems to me a good thing, not the evil thing you seem to make it out to be. I'm not proposing that every webcomic get added to Wikipedia. But if IndieTits can get added after scarcly 2 months of publishing (and a long hiatus to boot, AND a current series of sporatic updates) and use the above-mentioned clause as its excuse, I think this comic qualifies at least by that much (it should be noted that the alexa rating for indietits is also under the 200,000 mark). PS: thank you for linking to the WP:COMIC page, but I am familiar with it as well as the music and bio pages. --Tedzsee 04:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep it is so punny it must be kept if they want it here!
- Reply The front page did NOT tell people to 'spam the wiki.' It called for a show of readers, and was only up for a few hours. I reckon that the moderator here is biased against the comic. --Hijamiefans
- Reply - A call to arms kind of post, telling people to keep isn't really a great way to try and keep an article. I really have nothing against your comic, only on account of its non notability for inclusion here. If the comic manages to attract more widespread popularity, I would welcome it onto the wiki. Please, this is not a bad faith nomination. - Hahnchen 14:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply Well how do we decide whether it stays or goes? --Hijamiefans
- ReplyWikipedia has a vote system, Jamie. Currently, with the non-sockpuppet votes alone, your comic will likely be either deleted or found to be "unsure" and kept. However, the turnout for voting so far is rather small.
-
- As for process, Wikipedia follows something called the "AfD" process which is basically a fair democratic vote system by wikipedians. More on the process can be found here. As Hahnchen said, a call to arms post really isn't the best way to keep your article on Wikipedia.--Tedzsee 18:22, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply Sock puppets? Not only is that's a ridiculous term, but a casual glance at the explanation page says that it refers to multiple accounts, which this lot are defintley not. Every one a different IP, every one a different individual person. Now that's what I call a fair vote.
P.S. In my opinion, the fact that it caused this much debate alone means the article is worth keeping! It's so much easier just to leave it on! --Hijamiefans
- Considing WP:COMIC BFC has over 500 comics stored in it's archieve because it followed on from Lunch Break Toons. Which fulfils the Alternate Alternate proposal. I wrote the orginal article on BFC, and I am not the author, so that is point 3 taken care off (do an IP check if you must with me against HiJamieFans), and for point 2, it has been going on for over 2 years. So according to the Alternate Proposal, this comic deserves a place on BFC. Alexa is unrealiable because it only deals with IE users and not users of other browsers (such as Opera and Firefox) and if you check the bbc homepage link in it's search it returns less than 20000 hits per day when the bbc website gets well over 5 million hits per day from within the UK.
Keep Too funny to remove. And ^, are there still people using Internet Explorer?
- Reply At the end of the day, I feel all the mods comments regarding BFC have been proved innaccurate, and it has also been shown that the comic does fulfil not just one but several of the proposed conditions on WP:COMIC. As such, there can be no possible way it can still be considered for deletion.
- Keep-Dudtz Image:Kardos.jpg 9/29/05 6:38 PM EST
- Delete. Wow, this AFD is a mess. This webcomic has little influence on the webcomic community, and its only claim to notability seems to be that it's a webcomic by the same author as another webcomic of very questionable notability. This surely isn't Penny Arcade, Sluggy Freelance, or User Friendly, and it isn't even 1/0 or Framed!.
If you're coming here from the BfC site to vote, please, don't bother. Anonymous votes from people with no investment or history on Wikipedia will be disregarded, particularly if they have no argument other than "It's funny!" or "Why not?" - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC) - Keep. A webcomic does not have to have influence in the Webcomic community in order to be worthy of documenting. BFC has a huge archive and a dedicated readership, which is more than I can say for some of the webcomics listed on the Wikipedia. How petty this whole debate has become. --Squirminator2k 17:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - Why is it that you have treated a webcomic in a totally different perspective to a none webcomic website? You've stated that BFC has a dedicated readership so deserves an article. What about blogs? They have dedicated readerships, so do forums, so do porn sites, but they'd be deleted if they didn't have any sort of popularity or notability. Webcomics need more than a core bunch of readers to be noted. The ones that don't should be deleted. - Hahnchen 23:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RESTATING THE ARGUMENTS
As the above debate has skewed this Articles for Deletion page, the following arguments should be considered when voting. Please do not add to this section unless entirely relevant (this section created by --Tedzsee 05:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC))
[edit] For deletion
- Comment from nominator (Hahnchen) - I think my arguments for deletion may have been lost somewhat in the puppeteering above, and would just like to restate this as well as some others. Firstly, if a webcomic is notable, it would not require calls to arms on both the webcomic site PLUS the no 4th wall to break site (which I only just spotted). People above have been stressing the notability of this comic because the comic author also helped on No 4th wall to break. Is no 4th wall to break that popular? Alexa says 600k+, so it's not a definite yes. And this argument seems to fall flat, when we note that the author already has his own wikipedia entry at Jamie McGarry! Is Jamie McGarry notable? Having made half a dozen websites? I'm not so sure, but I don't think his webcomic is. - Hahnchen 02:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

(Irrelevant text deleted)
-
- New:As for the "Call to Arms" found on both the N4W page and the comic artist's website, I would suggest that these have to do more with the ignorance of Built For Comfort's author, Jamie McGarry/Hijamiefans, towards the purpose of Wikipedia. This is also evident in the creation of the Jamie McGarry article (which should not be considered in this debate, in my opinion, although I also believe the McGarry bio article to be rather unneccessary... for the record I didn't write that one). No doubt the links and subsequent responses of Jamie McGarry's readers do great detriment to the non-deletion argument in the eye of the nominator. However, I would urge potential voters to consider both the arguments found in this section on their own merits, extranious comments aside.--Tedzsee 04:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply I find the use of the term 'sock puppets' in a negative way to be very demeaning to me and my socky brethren. It really is the most blatant racism. - Mr. Sock
- Reply As a long time reader, I am totally against the deletion of the Built For Comfort article. It is as entertaining (if not more) than most webcomics. You can clearly see -by the number of votes- that the majority of people want the article to stay. The fact that Jamie is regularly keeping his comic up to date as well as doing his A-Level studies and having a wild social life is astonishing. I also find it totally insulting that you now seem to be slagging off the webcomic author himself. I think you should reconsider your argument and offer Jamie McGarry an apology.
- Reply I'm a fairly new reader of the comic, having only put it on my daily list a week or so ago - anyway. Bias aside, I don't think this should be deleted, for pretty much all the reasons under the 'against deletion' section of this restatement. After all, consider that the people coming to vote before the restatement were from the BfC site. The author, Jamie, didn't specifically say to vote 'keep', merely thanked those who did. Point is, the 'sockpuppets' are just readers from the comic, but I don't see why their votes worthless. After all, isn't this supposed to be a democracy? I don't see it's that relevant that a lot were from the comic as long as people aren't voting twice. --Snuffkin 14:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I've just discovered something very interesting. The [logs] say that all of Hahnchen's recent edits have been, rather than webcomic articles, articles about towns in Yorkshire - in fact, mostly in EAST YORKSHIRE. I myself am from East Yorkshire, and BFC itself is actually set there. This is too big a coincidence to ignore - I think this (and the insulting tone of the mods comments throughout) suggest that this is some sort of personal vendetta against me from the real world, rather than one brought on by any knowledge of what makes a worthy webcomic article.
- Totally False - I do live in East Yorkshire during the summer, yes. I have however, never seen or heard of you. My recent edits have been to do with deletion of non notable webcomics. I have a personal venetta against each and every creator? No, I just think that there are many non notable webcomics listed on Wikipedia. Thinking that I may hold some sort of grudge against you seems to be very egotistical. - Hahnchen 23:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - You've been looking at my "move" logs and not my contributions. That was when I was maintaining title consistency. I was searching for placenames followed by Yorkshire, and instead moved them to specify county as the consensus seems to show. I have made numerous stubs for villages and towns in east riding however, the East Riding of Yorkshire page looks kinda stark. - Hahnchen 23:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- How notable is Freespace 2 or Descent: Freespace or whatever? (Current GTVA content Sunday night says "the Freespace 2 universe", the creator above insists readers won't need the context identified "SINCE IT IS LOCATED IN THE DESCENT: FREESPACE SECTION.") I play many kinds of games but have barely heard of this. If the cited companies no longer hold the copyrights, is the game abandoned as a commercial failure, notable to nobody but a few fans? Or was it in some way so noteworthy that several game magazines did feature articles and mainstream media gave coverage to big events? (Compare, for example, the rise of big-prize-money Magic: the Gathering tournaments getting national newspaper articles.) We need WP:Verifiability for the higher-level article about the game system in order to justify keeping fine-grained in-game stuff at all. Even then, policy says we keep only canon stuff, not fanfic. If this is just stuff that a local gaming group has developed extrapolating from canon, it's not of sufficiently widespread importance to meet WP's basic policies. If what's kept is all canon, I think it should probably be further merged into the game system's main article, or at worst one level of sub-article below that. Alliances that form the backstory or context for a gaming system are "of interest only to fans of that game", and not of encyclopedic value. Barno 03:18, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

- Um, inventing one's own form of martial arts is no big deal unless it catches on among widening circles of thousands of people, or in some other fashion achieves widespread public awareness and verifiability. I haven't dug through the Google links yet to see how substantially he might be notable within a wide area. Nothing in the article suggests that this is more than a run-of-the-mill syncretism of what some fellow likes from various existing systems. (In other words, not notable in its category.) Nothing in the article serves as a source except the URL of the founder's website. This inclines me toward weak delete as advertisement, unless evidence of notabilty is added, but I won't vote since I haven't done the research. Barno 03:36, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Pokémon attacks
See also the entries for Destiny Bond and Ember
PokeCruft and if completed its going to be too long There are more than 200 of them attacks out there and the way those 2 nn attacks are written in that article if those 200+ attacks go there its going to be a long long nearly useless article Delete while u still can --Aranda56 05:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - When this list is finished, there will be 18 different types of attacks, each with a listing with an average lengeth comparable to the (currently complete) Fire and Water headers. This is assuming that the list will be complete (instead of abridged), but will not include the hundreds upon hundreds of one-off attacks in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:33, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete As per nomination. Jwissick(t)(c) 05:30, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Weak delete.I don't think that a list of attacks in Pokémon (which would start with the 100 or so in the games, and then could end up including the hundreds of one-off called attacks in the anime, manga, and card game) is encyclopedic material, and it borders on an unmaintainable list. Furthermore, I don't think that such an article would lend much to understanding of Pokémon either as fiction or as a social phenomenon, given that in nearly every context the attacks will appear in, their effects or attributes will be immediately apparent or immediately explained. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:49, 24 September 2005 (UTC)- Weak keep without prejudice to renomination at a later date. Let's give this article a while and see what it turns into. If it turns out it's a fannish collection of factoids, it can always be renominated, at which point people can debate about what it is, rather than what it will be. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 10:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per the above --Mysidia (talk) 06:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: This page was created from the suggestion of two recent AfD's (of the two attacks actually on this list). In other words, whoever made this AfD is working at cross-purposes with other AfD suggestions. -- Grev -- Talk 07:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep (disclosure: I created this page). As noted above, more than one person seemed to share the sentiment that, while individual pokeattacks did not merit seperate articles, the information should be kept somewhere. Thus, this article. I'm not sure why an article on common attacks in the pokemon universe, which would surely be of interest to quite a few people, is unencyclopedic. AS for concerns about the list being too long, criterion can be selected so that the number of attacks is limited to the more common ones. As for concerns about the individual write-ups on the attacks being too long, those can be shortened (I've already shortened them some). Wandering oojah 07:37, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- We have an excellent place for descriptions of common or signature Pokémon attacks: in the articles for the individual Pokémon involved. The fact remains that there aren't many (none that I can think of) common Pokémon attacks that aren't plainly obvious, and the uncommon ones don't bear mentioning (for the same reason that List of Pokémon characters doesn't include every single Pokémon trainer in the games; there are hundreds and most are more-or-less interchangable). Anyone with a basic grasp of English or a dictionary understands that Flamethrower is going to be a blast of flame, Water Gun is going to be a jet of water, and that Thunderbolt is going to be a blast of electricity.
As for attacks that aren't as obvious, in both the manga and the anime (where the effects of the attack are extremely fluid, depending on the needs of the plot) they are immediate explained, in all but the oldest games they're described in the game, and, most importantly, it's exceedingly unlikely anyone without access to those primary sources will ever have cause to look up further information on Wikipedia (unless that information was specific in a technical way, a la GameFAQs, which isn't Wikipedia's thing anyway).
I just don't see how this sort of list could contribute to an encyclopedic understanding, instead of being a random list of loosely-connected trivia. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 07:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)- The very fact that we even have a list of (notable) Pokémon charachters is, in my view, a good argument for keeping a list of (notable) Pokémon attacks. Wandering oojah 08:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- My point is that they aren't notable, on top of being obvious. Most of the characters on that list aren't notable; that's why their only presence on Wikipedia is one-sentence mentions on that list. These attacks are even less notable than those characters who are only bullet points on a list, and are comparably notable to the interchangable one-off Pokémon trainers who form the starchy parts of the Pokémon games and anime. Any list of the attacks would be statements of the obvious, information better off placed in the individual Pokémon species articles, or trivial minutia (most likely in the form of raw data) that doesn't serve to create understanding (e.g. "Charizard uses Flamethrower in episodes X, Y, and Z. Charizard learns Flamethrower at level Q.") - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs)
- My thought on that is, an individual article about a single pokemon attack would probably be obvious and none too interesting, as you say. But, in my view, an article listing various pokemon attacks provides some useful information...such as the names of various attacks, and which pokemon use them. It also just provides a good general overview of the ways in which Pokémon attack each other. Wandering oojah 08:56, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Which describes pretty well why I voted weak delete instead of delete, in the way that I was having trouble articulating. Hmmm. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 09:09, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Weak Keep certainly far preferable to listing them all individually. Dlyons493 07:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I would definately not want this page to turn into a list of every attack in the universe but many are notable, if not in their own articles. Vine Whip and Thundershock for example (Yes, I know they're not there yet). And also, I dislike the fact that this is running cross-purposes to the other AfDs. People have said on there that they wanted it merged somewhere so that's what was done. Please wait untill the others are over before nominating next time. --Celestianpower hab 07:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'd be inclined to possibly change my vote if you added a rough list of the attacks you consider worth including, at least as a temp page (maybe over on WP:PCP/T, even). If nothing else, it would give some idea of where signature attacks need to be elaborated upon in the Pokémon species articles. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 07:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

This list is much more preferable to listing all attacks in seperate articles and thus I consider it to be the best solution. - Mgm|(talk) 08:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. 200 items in a list is nothing much, and large amounts of data can be synthesized in tables--see List of masts for a good example of many hundreds of entries containing complex information being listified. This is an article which will be useful to Pokemon enthusiasts, of whom there must be many thousands, if not indeed millions. --Tony SidawayTalk 13:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, it's creation will discourage new stubs for individual attacks, and if they're made anyhow, they can easily be merged/re-directed into this, without going through countless AFDs. I don't agree with above comments about re-opening another AFD if the list has problems in the future. If it has problems, edit it, don't AFD. Whatever the result of this vote is, it should stand, and be respected, either way. --rob 13:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, although I dislike Pokémon, it was a worldwide phenomenon, enough to have its own encyclopedic entry - and I guess the same could be said of everything affiliated within the phenomenon, perhaps this list or article could expand to include other aspects of the Pokémon universe so as there isn't so much Poké-clutter. I agree with the above statements. Piecraft 14:19, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: We already have another, more complete although less descriptive list of Pokémon moves, Pokémon moves by type. Also, if there is going to be a list of this sort, I think it should have a title with 'move' in it rather than 'attack' - move is the catch-all term used in the games that includes non-attacking techniques, such as Recover and Withdraw. --Sparky Lurkdragon 04:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- That list is inaccurate, out-of-date, and incomplete, to the point of being misleading and useless. I have redirected it to this one, as this list, if kept, will be rewritten based on primary sources. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. While we had accepted beforehand that Pokemon is an encyclopedic cultural phenomenon, there's way too many Pokemon attacks, and the alternative is having an article for each one of them. It's a lesser of two evils thing for those who viciously hate Pokecruft. Titoxd 06:21, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's a false dilemma. Another alternative is to have no articles about the attacks, collectively or individually, and mention them where relevant in the species and character articles/lists. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Dear People at Wikipedia,
“Social Technology” is my first article at Wikipedia. I am new to this world of web publishing. Please pardon me for any errors that I have made and may make due to my ignorance of the norms and rules of the Wikipedia community.
This summer some good ideas occurred to me and I put them down in this article. In the article, I defined the term “Social Technology” and some basic areas to think and work upon.
Then I heard about Wikipedia where any one can contribute and enhance an article. I felt that this was a great place for ideas. I thought that many more ideas would come in and the article would be enhanced.
I posted it from my web log http://neeray.blogspot.com to this site. Unfortunately I forgot to post the copy right notice and a very vigilant member noticed the same article on my web log and marked it for copyright violation. I am very happy that people here are very vigilant. I have now posted the copy right message under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 on the “Social Technology temporary page” and in the article on my web log too.
Then I worked a little on the temporary page and find that now this is marked for deletion for “Rambling”. These are tiny seedlings of ideas. Please do not delete them even before they are seen and flower into something better. Please advise me as to what should I do to improve this article.
I have great faith in the collective wisdom of the people. That is what this article is about. Please do whatever is right according to the rules and norms of the community.
Best regards, Nirupma Kapoor

- Comments: to reproduce related comments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singapore Changi Airport passenger traffic by destination:
- Firstly, there has been a VfD for a related article 4 months ago, and the result was a keep. Is there any good reason to AfD this again now? I hope admins may take note of this.
- Secondly, as proven by just how many updates this article got since 4 months ago, no, it didnt need alot of maintanence as I have said earlier.
- Thirdly, yes, the information is original from CAAS, because wikipedia is not meant to be an avenue for original research. I canot be churning up my own numbers from thin air (although I do my own simple maths in coming up with obvious data, for eg, mannually counting the number of flights per week). At the same time, it is not a wholesale reproduction of original data, because this table combines information found in the Airport site, CAAS's monthly and annual reports (which is not available free online and required a trip to its library, which is not open to the general public), plus counter-referenced data from publications by the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines and theInternational Air Transport Association, again from sources not neccesarily available to everyone for free.
- Fourth, please explain "indiscriminate collection of information", when the sources and the work committed to compiling the above data has been explained.
- Fifth, I do not see how people can decide for themselves what would be considered "usefull" or "interesting" topics for users of wikipedia. Do we have a policy in only writting articles which people will be assumed to be interested in? Not really, because we only do have one for writing useful articles. How would removing data make this site any more useful? When someone just wants to know the number of passengers flown between Singapore and Sydney per year, and how that compares with other city pairs out of Singapore, why should we deny this person the chance to see this information in wikipedia instead of turning to another source?--Huaiwei 12:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- why should we deny this person the chance to see this information in wikipedia instead of turning to another source?

- I would be surprised if someone starts saying information should be deleted from wikipedia for being too specific. Based on that theory, we should all abstain from being specific in the articles we write and strive for murkiness? There is nothing here to justify that this article should keep to certain aspects of its existance. How do you demonstrate "significance" without the data to back it up?--Huaiwei 16:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as a noncontributory list. This is a clear example of an indiscriminate collection of data, something Wikipedia is not. These raw numbers don't help illuminate the Singapore Changi Airport article; instead of making a list of raw numbers, instead rewrite Singapore Changi Airport to be a summary of the major airlines that serve the airport and the sort and amount of service they provide). People who want to get this info will go directly to the primary source, rather than going to an obscure list on Wikipedia (which may be out of date, depending on when someone last updated it).
Additionally, the majority of Singapore Changi Airport belongs on Wikitravel or Yellowikis and not Wikipedia. Taxi prices? Bus service? This is not encyclopedic info. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- If we may look at WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information, there is non of those categories of information this particular falls into and hence is deemed as an "indiscriminate collection of information". Lists like these combine information from several sources to present in table form the traffic flow into and out of this airport, which is an important starting reference for anyone involved in international transport study, for example. May I remind that if it looks like a mess of "detailed" data to the less initiated, it looks elimentary to those who are more familiar with it, and that is the way it is designed to be. Unfamiliar with it? Let this be the intiation. Not enough info? Pay and get detailed info from the relevant authorities unless others are kind enough to add to this one.
-
- You claim that "people who want to get this info will go directly to the primary source". The trouble is...could these people get it? I got some of these data by visiting the only aviation-themed library in my country, and only because my professor wrote in on a personal basis to the librarian to allow me in as part of my academic study. Sure, you could write in and subscribe for this kind of primary data directly from the publishers, but not before paying thousands of US dollars for them. Anyone can get this info? I doubt so. Wikipedia has a mission of providing and sharing knowledge for free, and I fail to see the rationale of asking these people who could otherwise be relying their research on wikipedia to look elsewhere?
-
- It appears the only argument for its deletion is that the information is "not important enough". Who are we to judge? Yes, this article could outline the more significant flight routes out of this country. So when someone comes along and asks....how many flights and passengers from Africa are connected via this airport, and we tell them....sorry, that info is just not important enough for wikipedia?--Huaiwei 16:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

nn musician, no entries on artistdirect or allmusic (though lots of Google hits). This really reads like a copyvio, too. And the allegation that he was responsible for "We Are the World" at teh age of six are ludicrous. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep Lance Romañce, delete Lance Romance. Only the second page is nonsense.User:Giantrats
Two people seem to have submitted entries for the same artist, one of them a gag. The first Lance Romance page is nonsense and should be deleted. The other page, Lance Romañce, is not nonsense at all and is a legitimate, original entry which I wrote myself. Unfortunately, because it has a special character in the URL, I am unable to link directly to the article so that other people may discus it.
The artist in question is popular in underground circles in several scenes and cities, and has made an impact on these scenes. Hence the Google entries, but not the AllMusic. Keeping the second article, which should justify itself, is a good idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giantrats (talk • contribs)
- Redirect Lance Romance to Lance Romañce seems to solve nonsense and special char issues. Dlyons493 12:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- The listing Lance Romance was a gag and has been edited so that it now merely acts as a mirror link to the legitimate entry Lance Romañce. The Lance Romañce listing is unsearchable due to the tilde over the n (ñ) and there was some confusion. All offending information has been deleted.

[edit] Capital Boulevard
Basing this mostly on Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I live in Raleigh, and Capital Blvd is a heavily travelled road, but it's no different than any other heavily-travelled road in any other part of the country. Short of obviously famous roads like Broadway or Hollywood Boulevard, specific roads probably shouldn't be on Wikipedia. --PacknCanes 07:46, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: Historically, the most significant road in Raleigh is Hillsborough Street, bar none. Wake Forest Road would be second. Not that anyone cares about this, but I'm just making the point that simply because an article states something does not automatically make it true. This would be good on a personal webpage, but it's not encyclopedia-worthy. And besides, if we start putting "significant" roads on Wikipedia, who decides significance? It's a slippery slope. --PacknCanes 12:26, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Note: the above comment is mine; I didn't realise I'd been logged out. Loganberry (Talk) 17:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- I can completely understand where you're coming from, and I'm not threatening to leave Wikipedia forever or anything like that (sorry if that disappoints anyone :)) if this article isn't deleted. But, at the end of the day, how many roads in American cities (or cities anywhere, for that matter) have no claim to fame other than bad traffic, lots of traffic lights, and lots of McDonalds along the side of the road? That's all Capital Blvd is, folks. I travel it just about every day. It's no more "significant" than any other road with similar characteristics anywhere else in the world. --PacknCanes 06:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with PacknCanes and Pilatus. Category:Streets of London is 99% a reference to articles which should be deleted as being non-notable. There are streets in London of a notable nature, but WikiPedia is not an atlas. Justin Bacon 07:09, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep its a significant street in the community as noted. I think sometimes when it comes to these types of regional listings that there is a knee jerk reaction to pull articles that local value by those who aren't interested in that local. Does everything on Wikipedia have to übber notable to get a listing? I think not. Stu 17:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Road articles are not helping Wikipedia be more relevant to local issues. Quite the opposite, road articles have illustrated how overwhelming local topics can be (by the huge numbers of unexpanded, substandard road article that exist). Pragmatically, if you want articles on local topics I believe the best route is to fork an article off a community's article describing the topic, in this case something like 'Road network in Raleigh, NC' or what-have-you. Having a 100 articles on a 100 different roads in Raliegh only serves to fragment an interesting discussion and repeat information 99 times. --maclean25 01:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

However, some are significant (ie. culturally, historically) but this article does not explain well why it is significant.

- Keep Curebie seems to be an established term in the autistic community. I disagree as to the NPOV of autism related pages. The norm is that questionable treatments are presented in central parts of the articles while anti-cure ideas are at best mentioned in "passing". For instances, the autism page has recently been updated to use "person with autism" instead of the anti-cure peoples choice of "autistic". --Rdos 19:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- *sigh*. First off "NPOV of autism related pages" generally has community consensus here. In addition, the "person with" usage was only used for the third paragraph in the autism article because it wasn't explained yet in the article - for the rest of the article uses "autistic". Not only that but "Curebie seems to be an established term in the autistic community" does not mean it warrants an article on wikipedia... I mean what all can you say about the word anyway?

- Comment I agree with everyone who has said 'keep'. No offense, but I do have to wonder why it's so important that a simple page devoted to a minor character in a famous play get deleted. If that's so, then why hasn't anyone tried to do the same to some of the other minor characters in the plays whom I've seen have articles? The whole point of the Shakespearean characters category is to make articles for the characters of his plays, and that's exactly what I was doing. Tiria 07:12, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- My reasoning is that this is too detailed for an encyclopedia, even a Wikipedia. The reason that no one's tried to delete the other characters is probably because they haven't come across them yet. At least not the one's who want these things deleted. / Peter Isotalo 11:29, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- I was the one who proposed for deletion, and that was essentially my reasoning. I am a fairly new user, and perhaps I should have waited longer to see what sort of standards people apply to these things, but it did seem like a very trivial entry to me, one that I would not expect to find in an encyclopedia. It is evident from the responses that there is a strong consensus to keep this page, and I'm fine with that. For me, it's been a learning experience.Brandon39 12:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Previous VfD. Does not appear to be notable. Having an "anti-cure perspective" does not make one notable.

[edit] Maferefun Shango!
Spanish. Has been on WP:PNT since 3 September. Transwikied to es:Maferefun Shango. Physchim62 12:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Transfer from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English
- Spanish, reads a bit like a gaming article. Physchim62 08:11, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- It's about a supposedly saint-deity of nigeria. I personally have the feeling this is a hoax-joke so I'm not translating it. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 17:42, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- I would imagine it's for real. Shango is the name of an Orisha, a deity originating in West Africa, whose worship now forms part of Santeria and Candomble in South America. So there could be a need for articles about Shango, and other similar deities. But I think even to translate this would require more understanding of Santeria than I have.

[edit] ECRUSH
Appears to be nothing more than elaborate link spam. Only edits so far have been by two anon users who were also involved in DoYouDo (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DoYouDo). RoySmith 12:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I can't decide. Alexa rank is quite high (34,229) and it gets a ton of googles (22,900 - 633 unique)[12]. Plus this is ELABORATE linkspam if it is such. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 12:48, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Ad. Dlyons493 12:58, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete alexa rank higher than most we see here at VfD, but not so high that it can squak by just on that alone. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep -- If this is an ad, it's an awful one. Linking to a website in an article about that website is normal. I remember this website being in the news toward the end of the dot-com era (and the references section seems to confirm that). Giving alexa the benefit of the doubt because I'm not sure how popular their toolbar is amongst the teen set this website targets. — mendel ☎ 17:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- The article cites plenty of independent news coverage in its references. (I applaud and encourage the two anonymous users mentioned by RoySmith for their work in citing sources. To those editors: If all of your contributions are going to be explicitly sourced right from the start like this, please give us more of them.) This satisfies both the WP:WEB and the WP:CORP criteria. Keep. Uncle G 01:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Our policy against using Wikipedia for commercial purposes doesn't mean that we can't have good coverage of businesses. This company touches many people's lives, and some of them might turn to Wikipedia to learn more about it. JamesMLane 07:13, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Not notable, and it's connection with DoYouDo, as well as internal wikispamming, and this user's attempts to alter existing guidelines convince me that it is advertising. On Alexa - This website's target demographic matches Alexa toolbar uptake, skewing the numbers. Alexa should only be trusted for two things: Super high = not notable, super low = notable. The entire middle ground is hogwash. For an actual example, see this reference. - brenneman(t)(c) 01:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Oh, so we are supposed to leave articles as orphans rather than linking relevant articles, such as dating system, to them? What criteria are you using for classifying that normal activity as internal wikispamming? It's just your own assumption of bad faith. I agree with you about Alexa, though. By the way, to be fair, Plugwash made a similar edit to Wikipedia:Spam. See [13]. You unilaterally reverted both back. 24.54.208.177 02:15, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment(s). Just to be pedantic:
- Both WP:WEB and WP:CORP are only proposed guidelines, which eCRUSH still fails.
- Re:WP:WEB, the "Wall street Journal" link is a very small article in a ZdNet repost of an article from the Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. This is a very very low hurdle compared to appearing in the print version of WSJ. Do we have any evidence major media coverage? E.g. "off-line sources of news such as newpapers and national broadcasters."
- Re:WP:CORP, I'm not seeing how eCRUSH qualifies?
- Delete, the anon is spamming links to this page all over the place. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- Is that true? I see only four articles in the main namespace linking to this one. 24.54.208.177 03:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Well-written and sourced article about something which seems to have gotten a significant bit of media coverage. If this is spam, then I wish all spammers would go to this much effort. Gamaliel 04:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- I know I'm starting to sound a bit shrill here, but is this really what we're calling "significant [...] media coverage"? North Andover, MA? An Independent Daily Newspaper from Ohio University? I'd also point out that those citations appear to be purposefully deceptive. For example: Mieszkowski, Katharine. "The Bot Who Loved Me", Salon, 2002-08-09. Did this article actually appear on Salon? It doesn't appear so as it's on AltNet, however Mieszkowski also writes for Salon. This is not good form, it's bad for the encyclopedia. If we keep this article based upon this performance, we're rewarding it to our detriment.
brenneman(t)(c) 23:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC) - The AltNet article credits it to "Katharine Mieszkowski, Salon" so I can't see that anyone is being deceptive. Kappa 00:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- If Max Hunter writes political analysis articles for the New York Post and then submits a two-paragraph article in my local high school newsletter, it's deceptive to put Hunter, Max. "Hair today, gone tomorrow", New York Post, 2002-04-01. This article did actually appear in Salon, so I'll replace "deceptive" with "lazy", and offer a weak semblance of an apology to the user when his block expires. Still no evidence of "significant coverage".

- Sorry, I'm a little unclear. I thought, the only reason for "skole" being in the article name and lead sentence of the article (instead of "school"), is that it was assumed to be part of the official name. Even for English schools, we only use upper-case "S" in "Example School" *if* "School" is an official part of the name. Otherwise we might say "Example school", or call the article "Example (school)". I'm a little uncertain if your talking about official school naming conventions, or Norweigan conventions for capitalizing proper names. Note: I'm asking more for future cases, and support your request to keep the article name. --rob 17:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- If "skole" is not a part of the Fjellstrand's official name, then the article should be titled "Fjellstrand (school)". If it is part of the official title, then it should be "Fjellstrand Skole". (IMHO) Silensor 17:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I partly agree, and disagree. If "skole" is not part of the official name, we should use "Fjellstrand (school)". But, if "skole" is apart of the official name, and despite that, Norweigan language convention dicates it be lower-case, we should respect that, and say "Fjellstrand skole". Upper-case "Skole" should never be used, since it's not English *and* its not official. --rob 17:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm the auther, and new to wikipedia; it would be helpful if someone could expain to me why the entry is up for deletion- as a newbie I don't understand what the problem is?
OK, I've done some looking in the FAQs and now understand that Wiki doesn't host original stuff- UToR is original so I guess you should delete it. Anyone know of a similar kind of thing to wikipedia that does host such stuff? Apologies for posting something innapropriate. As a bit of constructive feedback, it may be worth your while making it clearer that you don't want original work; I did check several of the intro FAQs prior to posting, and didn't pick up on that.
- To the author:
- First of all, you should always sign your entries by putting four tildes (~~~~) after your entries. If you don't have a user name, create one and sign in.
- Regarding original research, see Wikipedia:No original research.
- Valid contributions to the Wikipedia are always welcome.
DanMS 18:19, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- To the author: Apologies for the somewhat sarcastic vote for deletion above - I was assuming awareness of the guidelines. Why not create an account (it's free and very quick) and that will give you a user page onto which you can put your article with no fear of it being deleted. You can then work on it, as and when you wish, to make more like what wiki expects an article to be. Good luck. Dlyons493 19:02, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey I think its alright that you have added an article on a scottish town - and it's really great that maybe more people from that area could learn more information - but if you Really want to keep it up - then please add some more information on the place - what does the after schoolclubs do - what other sghts can you see in Collydean - etc. Then maybe you can save the article.

[edit] Burdett Road
Unlike such roads as Brick Lane, Oxford Circus or the London Orbital, this road has little to speak for itself beyond its existence. Roads that do not have cultural or historic significance are best dealt with in an article such as Transport infrastructure of $TOWN; people would consult an atlas to find their way through a town, and breaking down the transport infrastructure of a town into single articles on each artery is somewhat counterproductive. Besides, Burdett Road and its northern extension Globe Road are not very major. Pilatus 15:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- no doubt but I see little encyclopedic content here. Weak delete if kept remove the recipe aspects. DES (talk) 17:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. encyclopedic content for me is, "what the hell is this?" if it's a word, it goes in a dictionary. if it's a person, place or thing, it goes in an encyclopedia. the content isnt a recipe, because theres no way you could read it, go to the supermarket, go to the kitchen, and make it. besides, claiming "non-encyclopedic content" is pretty similar to "doesn't belong in an encyclopedic," which is redundant following a delete vote. Nateji77 19:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. If Pizza and Idli can have articles, why not this ? Tintin 22:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- The only indication of notability for this food is that it's popular in a province within India that according to its Wikipedia page doesn't have a lot of English speakers. Google search shows 640 hits, mostly South Indian recipe sites. Current article content is mostly what it's made of, which goes against WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Precedent with popular food types has been that we keep articles only if expanded with substantial encyclopedic importance, beyond what can be said about any food that's popular with some people somewhere. Weak delete unless a lot more importance is shown. Barno 04:19, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spirit of Delta
an article about a singel commercial airplane, whose only claim to fame is that it has a name and was the firwst of its type owned by a particular airline. Doesn't seem notable to me. Delete DES (talk) 17:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Advertising; the only significant thing about the aircraft is Delta's promotional use of it. No potential to become encyclopedic; this article will never be more than a substub. I just put a link to the external image in Boeing 767. (Possibly might be worth including in the Delta Air Lines article too). Dpbsmith (talk) 17:29, 24 September 2005 (UTC)Changed vote.- Comment: there's already a long paragraph about the plane in the Delta Air Lines article. The plane is, in fact, much more notable than the stub article indicates; it was bought & paid for by the employees and retirees, through a voluntary contribution scheme, and there was a lot of press attention, etc., at the time, as a story about the loyalty of the employees and so forth. As it happens, I actually wrote up an article about Spirit of Delta a while ago, but then read what was in the main Delta article, and decided it did not really merit an article on its own.

[edit] William Rees
A professor, and no doubt a worthy one. But I see little notability here. Not quite a speedy delete, the presidency of an academic society is a claim of notability, but iMO a mild one. Alos, much of the text is said to be exerpte from the subject's course notes which makes that section a probable copyvio. Delete. DES (talk) 17:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- After rethinking the matter, reading the comments of others here, and seeing the revised article, change my vote to Keep. I am particualrly glad that the phrase which suggested a copyvio is gone, and the reasons why the professor is notabel are now much more clear from the article. i was too quick on the trigger with this one. DES (talk) 14:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep (except any copyvio of course). Founding member and recent past-President of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics, director of ‘Environment and Resource Planning’ School, Senior Killam Research Prize, The Vancouver Sun recognized him as one of British Columbia’s top “public intellectuals.” Dlyons493 19:37, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep
I cannot believe that DES would do this. I just created this article and am actively working on it (as I have with dozens of articles over the course of my two years with Wikipedia). Of course it is not up to standard yet, it is less than one day old. As to Bill Rees not being notable:The fact that he is the originator of ecological footprint analysis alone is sufficient to qualify him for an article. However, as Dlyons493 points out, Rees has shown leadership in the fields of ecological economics and sustainable development and is well-recognized for that throughout North America and many other parts of the world. With respect to copyvio: Nothing I have done violates "fair use" requirements (I did, after all, include my sources and provided abundant notes as to what I was doing). However, I've removed most of the copied material and will work on it off-line. Sunray 20:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

And I certainly don't appreciate all these upset comments about DES' motivation for AfD:ing. The notability of an article subject is relevant from the moment of its creation. The vote here is on the suitability of the inclusion of the article, not the quality of its contents. / Peter Isotalo 23:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Floyd - Empire Burlesque

- Comment. i'm tagging for cleanup, and will see if i can do so. will vote after. Nateji77 18:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Move to Chris Floyd per Caribmon's nom here. weekly columnist for a newspaper with a reported circulation of 35,000. published a book, made Project Censored's list, and writes for many household-name publications. the title, like the method employed for internal links, is simply written wrong. still needs Cleanup, IMO. Nateji77 19:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Caribmon - This was my first attempt at a wiki entry. I am still learning so... is there anything I could do to clean it up? I realized I did all the links archaically when I finished the page last night... please advise. Thanks.
- Move to Chris Floyd. chowells 17:09, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment.caribmon Actually - I am his webmaster at chris-floyd.com. This is not a vanity page - I am just not that familiar with the Wikipedia formatting and am trying to work this into a palatable entry. 22:56, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- it could still be construed as promotion in less than good faith. personally i think if a topic is notable, it's notable, regardless of who creates the article on it. it could be claimed as "tribute" i guess; we often get pages by students written about their non-notable high school teachers/university professors. there was a band vanity article written recently by a member's little brother that led to some confusion, as the member was denying having written it but of course had the same IP address.

[edit] MOBICAST
Advertisement, near meaningless gibberish --Blackcap | talk 22:34, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Subject had been published in notable publication ACM-Mobile Networks and Applications. --Hurricane111 23:07, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- It's certainly notable, it's just an ad. --Blackcap | talk 23:19, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- 1. I don't see how this article is an advertisement - it is just an explanation of a particular technology. Please explain where is the advertisement in the article.
- 2. As per Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not, "Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" companies are not likely to be acceptable." Therefore, even if it is an ad, the mere fact that it is published in a notable scientific publication (ACM) means that A) it has been gone through peer-review by experts in the area. B) The information is third-party verifiable. --Hurricane111 23:38, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Regarding ad: "...satisfies a potentially dynamic set...," "...by explicitly addressing the temporal domain...mobicast is more general than geocast and makes it possible to save bandwidth and memory resources of the networks...." To me, this sounds like an ad, as it's talking about it's achievements in a way that shows it's superiority another item or competitor, Geocast.
- The second point is that the article is extremely hard to read to the point of being gibberish or nonsense, and contains little, if any, useful information. I am not saying that it is not verifiable, nor that it has not been peer-reviewed. --Blackcap | talk 00:02, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- The article does read like the output of a buzzphrase generator. But that is what we have {{cleanup-technical}} for. Hurricane111 has provided a citation of a peer reviewed paper on the subject in a reputable journal, which a quick search reveals to be cited by other people. Keep and Rename to MobiCast. Uncle G 21:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Rewrite in English. As it stands it looks like just a bunch of pretty much gibberish technophrases slung together to look impressive. It entails the delivery of messages to large sets of nodes in a manner that satisfies a potentially dynamic set of spatiotemporal constraints., for example. What does that actually mean? I'm quite willing to be persuaded that it actually does mean something, but what? As Uncle G says, it also should be renamed. Tonywalton | Talk 22:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rather ambiguous. I count three "deletes" and 2 "merges", which have been given without any reasoning so its borderline. A concern here has been verifiability and another has been notability. This one is a tough one to close, and I know extremely little about the subject, and my attempt at merging will probably be dreadful. Therefore I will simply make this page into a redirect to Autocephaly and leave the history in tact so that anyone may merge it later if appropriate.

[edit] False Doppler
This article should be deleted because it is "original research" with no verifiable sources. Is it a crackpot pseudo-scientific article. 63.24.48.221 21:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Question How does this relate to the Transverse Doppler Effect which is an accepted effect? Dlyons493 21:37, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Answer There's no direct relation. The thing called "false doppler" in this article is not really false at all. It's a genuine classical Doppler shift resulting from the fact that the receiver is moving away from the transmitter. The article seems to be trying to say that this can be regarded as a false TRANSVERSE Doppler effect, because even though the receiver is moving away from the transmitter, he is receiving the signal from a direction that is, in terms of his own system of reference, perpendicular (i.e., transverse) to his direction of motion, due to the effect of aberration. But it's silly and incorrect to call this "false Doppler", and it would be only slightly less silly to call it "false transverse Doppler". It is simply the classical Doppler effect combined with the classical aberration effect. At most, this warrants a sentence or two in an article on aberration. Wikipedia is not the place to be making up new terminology, especially incorrect terminology like "false Doppler", and claiming that it is historical. I know of no reputable reference for the term "false Doppler" to describe this.63.24.114.48 19:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Not crackpot, as the article sorts itself into Category:History of physics and states in some theories, preceding special relativity. But some doubts about the usefullness of a separate articles concentrating on calculations. Keep or Merge. We have Emission theory which already states Emission theory generates many "classic" SR results like E=mc² and transverse redshifts. --Pjacobi 21:39, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Referring to the Wiki article on emission theory is not very helpful, because it was largely written by the same well-known pseudo-science crackpot (Erk) who contributed the article on False Doppler. Also, the fact that it is classified as History of Physics doesn't exempt it from Wikipedia policy. The point is not whether Erk's ideas about science or history or anything else are right or wrong. The point is that Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for Erk's ideas (or yours or mine). Wikipedia articles are required to be verifiable from reputable published sources. If someone can find a reputable reference for "False Doppler", then it should be added to the article. If no one can find such a reference, then the article should be deleted.63.24.118.187 01:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- Whereas I have my problem with Classical Hawking radiation and Aether and general relativity, I'd consider Emission theory and even False Doppler to be the better ones of Erks contribution. Emission theory is an important step in the history of physics, and going into the dusty areas of your preferred physics libary will give plenty of discussions of it. Also you don't want to consider http://aether.lbl.gov/ being a crackpot's website, and you can find eduacational discussions of emission theory there, see http://aether.lbl.gov/www/classes/p139/homework/one.ps --Pjacobi 11:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- There seems to be some confusion in the above comment. The subject of this proposal for deletion is not "Emission Theory", it is "False Doppler". Emission Theory is an actual subject in the history of science. False Doppler is not. Arguments in support of an article on Emission Theory are not relevant to a discussion of whether the article on False Doppler should be deleted.63.24.51.19 15:12, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not stupid, at least not that stupid. But I sure can formulate more precise: Merge to Emission theory or rename to Doppler effect in emission theory, or even better rename to Ritz' Emission theory and merge some stuff from Emission theory into Ritz' Emission theory. --Pjacobi 22:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Whereas I have my problem with Classical Hawking radiation and Aether and general relativity, I'd consider Emission theory and even False Doppler to be the better ones of Erks contribution. Emission theory is an important step in the history of physics, and going into the dusty areas of your preferred physics libary will give plenty of discussions of it. Also you don't want to consider http://aether.lbl.gov/ being a crackpot's website, and you can find eduacational discussions of emission theory there, see http://aether.lbl.gov/www/classes/p139/homework/one.ps --Pjacobi 11:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Seems reasonable. Presumably an article on emission theory will contain the expression for Doppler shift as a function of angle, and will note that this angle depends on the frame of reference, so the facts will automatically be covered.63.24.96.146 22:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- It fits in the history of physics only if it is actually a factual description of something from the history of physics... which it isn't. There is no such thing as "false doppler" in the history of physics. Check any reference on the history of physics, optics, accoustics, electrodynamics, you name it. You will find no references to "false doppler". Do a google search on "false doppler" and the only hits (other than these Wiki pages contributed by Erk, aka Eric Baird) are for things like false doppler indications of stormy weather, which have nothing to do with this subject. Also, if you glance at the "example" calculation of false doppler in this article, you will see that it's utter nonsense. But that's irrelevant, because the question is not whether the article is true, the question is whether it's verifiable from a reputable source. It isn't. So it should be deleted.
- So far, the only "keep" votes for this article have been by people who cited as their reason that it is classified as history, and those people have declined to address the fact that the article is on a completely fictitious subject that was fabricated by a lunatic fringe pseudo-science crackpot and is not verifiable in any reputable published reference, and therefore has no place in Wikipedia, regardless of whether it is in the History of Science category or any other category. History articles are not exempt from the content policies of Wikipedia.63.24.51.19 15:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. I tried but couldn't figure this one out. There is such a thing as a transverse doppler effect, its easy enough to google. However, this page fails to distinguish between the relativistic and the non-relativistic form. Also, the references/quotes at the back of the article look very authoritative, but again, its not clear just what they are referring to. Given the un-googlability of the term "false doppler", it does sound like a neologism to me. I don't know whether to vote for "keep" and suggest that someone should convert this to a bona-fide article on transverse doppler, or to "delete" because the article is beyond repair. linas 16:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fuck the South
Previous AfD. Disputed AfU close by Jtkiefer. Borderline opinion count. Undeleted by Jtkiefer prior to normal AfU close due to apparent consensus for undeletion. I am now relisting it on AfU per usual procedure. I am not voting myself. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:32, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Jtkiefer performed the disputed close. It was listed on VfU, and garnered mostly "undelete" votes. Jtkiefer judged that there was consensus at VfU to undelete, so he undeleted the article himself. He failed to relist it on AfD which is the procedure whenever an article is undeleted per VfU. (In VfU, a vote to undelete does not imply that the voter thinks the article should be kept. People who voted in the VfU will presumably express their opinions here.) Dpbsmith (talk) 22:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia should have a well written, NPOV article on this, even if the title shocks those of delicate sensibilities. Wikipedia is not censored. Unfocused 22:57, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: This isn't about censoring an article because it deals with a profane Web site, it's about deleting an article due to the subject matter's lack of merit. The Web site (including its history) is just a non-notable stink bomb that is "illustrative" of very little other than how the Internet can be used for insignificant, run-of-the-mill, hate-filled tirades. By the way, its Alexa ranking (which, in my opinion, does count) has pretty well been bottom-of-the-bucket insignificant except for a week-long spike to so-so status after the elections (by no means "immensely popular"). In case anyone is interested, here's a link to the Alexa page comparing traffic to the site in question to Wikipedia.org over the past year. Wikipedia is the orange line. Fuckthesouth.com is the barely visible blip at the bottom of the chart during last November. — C Maylett 00:29, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Specious argument. Compare ANY typical private website to Wikipedia over the past year and it'll be a tiny blip. Even many of the most notable and popular would be as well. Look here and you'll see that this was in the top 5,000 web sites shortly after the election. That IS notable and significant. Unfocused 03:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to call being in the top 5,000-traffic Web sites during one two-week period "notable and significant," well, I guess you're easily impressed. To me it's convincing evidence (as if any is needed) of the site's lack of notability. Using your reasoning, Wikipedia ought to have articles about all the other tens of thousand of Web sites that have at one time or another crossed the so-so 5,000 benchmark. Like I said, non-notable. — C Maylett 06:36, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- OK, now you want to discard Alexa since it's proven counter to the point you were trying to make when you brought it up. Fuck the South is notable not only because it was a top 5000 web site, but for the other reasons I've already posted here AND that it was a top 5000 site. Regarding your straw man about articles for other top 5000 sites; I never claimed that being top 5000 is the only claim to notability, in fact, the opposite is true.

Further, in my not-so-humble-as-it-could-be opinion (and apparently the opinion of a good dictionary, see here), 'notable' means 'worthy of being noted,' not 'noted,' as shown by the clichéd example, "I have noted the elm tree in my yard, and thus it is worthy of an encyclopedia article." --Blackcap | talk 06:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Previous AfD-discussion can be found here.

That the article is about a term in Cherokee which seems to have no relevance in Engolish seems to have been completely overlooked in the last nomination and, well, Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Even if you think the voters' reasons were completely bogus, relisting before even 24 hours have passed is not appropriate. I could have simply reverted, but decided to give you the benefit of doubt; but please do not do that again. --cesarb 14:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- First Gadugi bad-faith-nominates his own article and almost everyone votes to auto-keep. Now I'm trying to nominate it for a valid reason and you're trying to shut it down on account of a technicality. And on top of this you screw up my linking to the old nomination.

[edit] Mayor Nagin and the Evacuation By School Buses Controversy
User:JimmyCrackedCorn, a particularly uncivil editor, has created this article as a way to circumvent consensus-building on Ray Nagin, which has been protected over his insistence upon inserting this same inadequately sourced and biased information into the Ray Nagin article. Several editors are currently working toward a consensus on how best to include information on the flooded school buses and criticism of Nagin inside the Ray Nagin article itself. Instead, JimmyCrackedCorn has created this fork without notifying anybody as a way to circumvent Wikipedia's policies in general and the discussion on Talk:Ray Nagin (in particular see Talk:Ray Nagin#Forks). Delete so discussions can focus on the talk page at Ray Nagin. · Katefan0(scribble) 22:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Not at all. I am supporting consensus building at the Ray Nagin article as anyone can see by looking at the Ray Nagin discussion page. Your personal attack against me as "uncivil" has een noted as reported. No one has even tried to explain what is POV about the article on the article's discussion page. The fact that this article is factual and does not repress inconvenient fact is understandably irksome to those with a proNagin POV. However, as anyone can see this article is well balanced with Nagin's responsibilities, the event, Nagin's POV as well as the POV of both defenders and critics of Nagin. To delete this article would be a clear attempt to repress fact for no other reason than fact does not comport with an admitted "libertine's" POV. --JimmyCrackedCorn 23:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
I challenge you, as I challenged Katefan0, to point out the POV content in this article so we can edit it out together. I would appreciate making such an edit as I support Wikipedia's policy against POV edits above all others. --12.74.187.165 00:06, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Amazing how every person who says delete appears to have a left wing POV. Most even admit this on their user pages. Examples:
Guettarda Politics Economic Left/Right: -4.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54. [1].
Peter: Bias Leftist social democrat
Katefan0: Libertine
Wikipedia will never see articles with NPOV if they allow such one sided contributors drive their content. I was told this place was a cesspool of leftism but did not believe it.

[edit] Shelby Yoshida
This article was originally created by an anonymous contributor with an IP of 68.4.247.187 [22]. I placed a speedy tag on it because it was about a non-notable middle school student. After the tag was applied, the same IP address edited the page to say that Shelby Yoshida was in fact a mildly-notable 20-year-old artist [23].
Google turns up around ten hits for "Shelby Yoshida", none of which discuss artistic ability (they all reference swimming and dance competitions). One of the articles about swimming is from 2003 and Shelby Yoshida is given as being in the 9-10 age range. In addition, googling for "National Artists Convention", "Young Artists of California", and "Grislto" turn up no results.
Even if Ms. Yoshida is an artist, I don't think receiving two artistic awards (from two invisible organizations) merits inclusion in Wikipedia. Quicksandish 23:34, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

- Admittedly, Chet Shakesbeare does inpart refer to a rather minor website. However, Chet's "articles" have been published in several literary arts magazines and while Wikipedia is not a web directory, there is no problem with having articles on various topics.

That is where I first encountered Chet. You could probably email the Chet Shakesbeare site for more information, they have a contact link. Furthermore, Google is not the best we have. Google is simply one search engine of mere web pages, Lexis-Nexis ad the like are generally considered to be more powerful tools. Potatoes345 23:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- Comment I offer the following, the articles "chet shakesbeare" (written by my brother) and Chet Shakesbeare (I'm not certain of the author) do, perhaps, deserve removal. However, the article Shakesbeare (of my own creation) should be kept. It is brief, encyclopedic, and informational with no bias whatsoever. Delete the other two if you must, but keep the article Shakesbeare. Potatoes345 23:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- The non-notability of the subject would still be a problem. -- the best thing for you to do if you would like the article kept would be to add citations of evidence that verify the importance of the subject for an encyclopedia; this means not merely suggesting or asserting that shakesbeare has appeared in magazines, but citing some prominent articles -- including enough information to locate and read the source. (Just like I suggested in the conversation at User talk:Mysidia, but repeated here so it will be part of the Afd record). --Mysidia (talk) 01:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

- Once again, I am not personally aware of the locations of such articles. I myself have only seen one, in the Delphi, spring 2005 issue. I would email Chet's creators at their website (it has a contact link) but they sent me an email saying that they have blocked me as a spammer, so someone else can ask them if they want to.

- Keep I think Shakesbeare is a useful article although the other two are more fan-site like than encyclopedic. Garfunkel4life 23:15, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
