[edit] Wisdom of the Body
Close to being {{nonsense}}. Concept is described as a theory, but no details of what that theory is are given. Esoteric discussion of chaos theory and strange attractors without describing relevance to subject matter. Final sentence "This wisdom ought to be taken for granted in the same way is gravity is" offers no supporting evidence as why this theory should be taken for granted. BillC 00:10, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Provisional delete. I get a lot of Googles for "Wisdom of the Body", but as it stands this article is OR of the first degree, it's only 'reference' is a...interesting...website. But the Googles indicate some possible scientific interest in the phrase. Nevertheless, here would not seem the place to start so we should remove the OR and start again. -Splash 00:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)- Redirect to Homeostasis per Dpbsmith; I think redirect to the topic rather than the author. -Splash 18:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect to Homeostasis and add a brief note somewhere giving the title of Cannon's book. Cannon's book is famous, as is Walter Cannon, and the phrase "wisdom of the body" is frequently mentioned in conjunction with homeostasis. The present contents of the article is more or less nonsense and original research. I don't think there's anything that can needs to be said under the heading "Wisdom of the body" that would be separate from Homeostasis. The book itself could conceivably be worthy of an entire article but if anyone wants to write about the book the should start by writing a section in Walter Cannon and breaking it out if and when it grows big enough. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:31, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Walter Cannon might be a better target than Homeostasis then, as there is already a mention of the book in the article on Cannon. (Good comments, Dpbsmith). --BillC 17:59, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Wisdom of the Body is a broadened version of the metaphor conceived by Starling and adopted by Cannon. It provides a common framework for seemingly unrelated concepts e. g., equilibrium, steady state, and strange attractor, and is applied to interpret health and disease in a new way. In other words health and disease can be expressed by these disciplines in different ways.

[edit] Caproni’s
Doesn't seem particularly notable. A dance hall that used to be popular, but doesn't exist anymore? It might be noteworthy anyway, depending on how "well known" it was, but nothing in the article establishes notability. 148.78.243.51 00:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Dottore So 13:29, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Delete It appears that the proper name of the place was Caproni's Ballroom, and it was a venue for Irish "showbands" in the 50's-60's. But unless someone comes up with more information about notability there is no reason for it to remain.

[edit] Wormphlegm
listing nomination from July 31. no vote. Nabla 00:39:54, 2005-09-02 (UTC)
Band...um...vanity. Only one self-released cassette. Joyous (talk) 18:51, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
I don't know your background in extreme metal, but despite it's lack of output, Woromphlegm is making MAJOR waves on the metal scene. Hellhammer released only a few demos, but it still shaped an entire genre of music (black metal). I thought it might be useful.
Whether it's useful is up for debate. It is, however, hilarious whether intentional or not. The name is fabulous, BTW. Delete and consider BJAODN. - Lucky 6.9 03:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
I like the absurdist logic everyone is using. You're supposed to decide whether to delete a page regarding an underground culture that I can guarantee few of you know or understand, and we're debating whether it's USEFUL. All knowledge is useful.
Delete, because they'll never be even a fraction as notable as the Leningrad Cowboys. NandesukaExtreme funeral doom delete. Fails all of WP:MUSIC soundly. -Splash 02:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Delete under WP:Music given that its recorded work consists of 100 copies of a cassette demo.

Speculation, any content belongs in the main article on the campaign. (I hope I am not misunderestimating the significance of this). Ianb 23:11, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Weak keep. I know nothing about the validity of the article, but slogans seem as if they are legitimate targets for inclusion. Noisy 23:19, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)Delete. Only speculation. And if it's kept, it needs to be at Slogan: Yes, American Can! RickK 23:48, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)- Delete: This belongs in a newspaper column, not an encyclopedia. Pure speculation, and no evidence. Even if it had both evidence and fact, it would be irrelevant as a separate entry. Geogre 00:07, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. Slogan has no meaning outside the campaign, but would make a useless redirect. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:37, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Major slogans deserve recognition. An "apparent, unofficial slogan" does not. If this one gets to the level of use of Where's the Beef?, give it an article. JamesMLane 06:39, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable, official, or in common usage. Gamaliel 14:29, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Neutral. I've written articles on slogans before (Let's All Be There), but I don't know if this is notable enough. Mike H 14:54, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

- Please note that at this point, 2004-08-06, the discussion was (incompletely) closed as "not deleted" by Michael Snow (talk · contribs). See Talk:Yes, America Can!.

- Delete Chunitaku 14:04, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- "Where's the beef?" was a significant meme - everyone knew it and understood the context. Even though I admit to the vice of following US politics closely, I never heard this alleged slogan. Even the article describes it as the "apparent, unofficial" slogan. This seems far too tenuous to support a verifiable encyclopedia article. Straight delete, no merge or redirect seem necessary to me. Rossami (talk) 21:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Listing nomination from August 3. no vote. Notice that the user that tagged the article made no comment here. Nabla 00:48:29, 2005-09-02 (UTC)
- Zander Kauffman is a great writer who has written brillint works in Black point review and his book comes out in late 05 to correct the other article writer..... Don't cast this man away just because he happens to be in the left wing. (by 68.96.140.50 2005-08-11 03:45:24)
- Delete, seems to be vanity (First novel is unpublished; others not mentioned), although I had a good laugh at the picture.--Firsfron 23:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. 134 hits on Google, all from online book reviews or online forum comments. I don't think this meets notability criteria for a bio. (I have 16,300, but do not claim notability based on online writing.) He appears to be be known in a small community of online writers, but not more widely. If his book is a best-seller, I'm sure someone will step up and write a new article. MCB 02:12, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete: Verification of notability? Referred to by what? In fact, this is the English Wikipedia, meaning that topics are supposed to be encountered by English-speakers. When the title remains in Polish and the article's claims for notability are only that it was popular within Poland, we're looking at something similar to a local TV show: it hasn't sufficient context in the English written world. It may be the greatest TV show ever, might have had a big audience in Poland, but will the anglophone reader require it, under this title, in this location, and learn sufficient amounts from this? It doesn't seem that way to me, although I would be happy to see citations in English to the show that would make it an English-language topic. Geogre 11:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Noacniari Deluge
Not quite patent nonsense, but if anyone wants to suggest it ....--Doc (?) 00:59, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if outright deletion is key here. It looks like there is reference to a second source (the first being The Bible). This may have something to do with the "Concentric Spheres" model of the Earth devised in the mid-19th century, although a Google search turned up butkus. --NielsenGW 01:40, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, I think deletion is very key here. 'Noacniari' turns up no googles - that's a crackpot theory that's not on the internet (perhaps that's notable in itself). This is a hoax - it's just too obscure for us to get it. --Doc (?) 07:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete - To author: Please provide an authentic document/scripture saying close to word-for-word as it says in the article. UniReb 11:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Leaning towards Merge -- After an exhaustive investigation (I think I exhausted Google), I would recommend to keep this article (for now). It justs needs more research. The Deluge is in reference to the flood that Noah and the animals rode out on the Ark. Noah's name in Hebrew becomes "Noach." Noacniari may be a corruption of Noachian, a word sometimes attributed to the Great Flood. Merge the usable bits into Deluge (mythology). --NielsenGW 13:56, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
- If you're right, then (delete and?) redirect to Deluge (mythology) - I can't see anything worth merging. --Doc (?) 14:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- This article is a cut-and-paste of a single paragraph on page 39 of this document (which is probably public domain since it's from a US Govt website). In the context of the full article, this appears to be an attempt to make a parenthetical comment about groundwater and mentions the "Noacniari Deluge" in passing. It is clearly not a discussion about the "Noacniari Deluge". That section of the full article is also nearly incomprehensible (proving that government-sponsored gibberish is still gibberish). I don't see anything worth keeping and except for this one article, I can't find any other verification of the use of the title "Noacniari Deluge". Without verification, I have to recommend deletion. Rossami (talk) 22:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per Rossami. Good work. -- Kjkolb 06:29, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural references in Pokémon
This article is a mess, and is beyond hope of cleanup. It's a list of random pop-culture or historical references in the Pokémon anime, and doesn't offer the context to make sense of the references. Besides having factual errors and an ongoing edit war between anons about whether it's appropriate to say that smoking marijuana is bad for you, neither of which are deletion criteria, Wikipedia is WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information, like lists of random, loosely-connected trivia. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 01:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia has lots of lists, I betcha that there are lists that are in worse condition than this CoolKatt number 99999I'm making the case that this list is hopeless, and cannot be improved. I've been working to try and clean it up, but I just can't see how it's not hopeless.If you see another list that is hopelessly unencyclopedic, moreso than this one, feel free to put it on VFD. I'd be happy to vote delete on it. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 02:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)Why not get someone else to clean up for you? CoolKatt number 99999Because I see a job that needs doing, so I'm doing it. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 03:04, 3 September 2005 (UTC)But you say you can't do it, thus negating your statement CoolKatt number 99999I feel it can't be brought up to an encyclopedic standard. It's beyond hope to meet that standard, not beyond hope of any improvement. In the event consensus goes to keep this article, I'd hope that it wouldn't reflect poorly on Wikipedia (or, specifically, the Pokémon Wikiprojects on Wikipedia). - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 03:30, 3 September 2005 (UTC)It is only what you think, were there any times you thought to give up hope, yet kept going to the end?

Could ask the WP:PAC to give it a once-over, though. -Splash 02:28, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Delete. Actually, on closer reflection, I realise that there is not value in keeping this article.

I actually liked the idea of this article (& the first paragraph is not badly written), but the more I read this article, the less I could justify keeping it. The cultural references explained in this article are so painfully obvious (e.g., "The samurai were strong warriors in feudal Japan') or trivial (e.g., "Meowth: 'James, stop this crazy thing'-reference to The Jetsons, in which George says 'Jane, stop this crazy thing'") as to be absolutely worthless. Well, maybe not absolutely: I could entertain myself for hours by making fun of what's there, & risk censure for unnecessary cruelty on Wikipedia. Lastly, there are almost no links to this article, so I doubt that deleting it will create a pokemon hydra in its place. -- llywrch 23:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

CoolKatt number 99999I mean that any articles that do deserve an article but are not in good shape should go to cleanup, not to AFD. AFD is to get articles deleted, not fixed. While it is a good way to bring more eyes into the picture and start discussion, it is not the recommended way. AFD is too large and we've been trying to make it smaller for quite a while. These nominations just clog an already clogged process. It's in bad shape, but still salvageable. --Titoxd 03:15, 5 September 2005 (UTC)Oh. Well, I honestly believe this list should be deleted, not cleaned up. I originally felt it merited cleanup instead of deletion (so I added the cleanup tag), but I have since changed my mind.

And to quote the AGF page: Of course, there's a difference between assuming good faith and ignoring bad actions. If you expect people to assume good faith from you, make sure you demonstrate it. Don't put the burden on others. Yelling "Assume Good Faith" at people does not excuse you from explaining your actions, and making a habit of it will convince people that you're acting in bad faith. CoolKatt number 99999I'm not sure that I can say anything to allay your suspicions, so I'll just wish you a nice day and hope someone else can give you the satisfaction you desire.

Tagging all those votes is an act of extraordinary poor form.

Keep but perhaps rename to something more descriptive. If this has surfaced in radio media, roadside banners, numerous bulletin boards and blogs, chat rooms, and it appears to be a self-sustaining meme, I think this meets the notability test. I mean, Wikipedia has articles for 'pwned' and other fad terminology and phenomena. I do not recall other movie spoiling being so public or aggressive. I don't know if "trolling" is the right word, though, perhaps a neologism like "spoiler-sporting" would be better. The Hokkaido Crow 19:02, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I haven't heard it surfacing in media and it doesn't make sense if it were to, considering they'd have to spoil it, and then bad stuff would happen to that media station.

That shape the lunch box sale primary meaning shape is same from railroad reverse and there is like that meaning.
Taking "seyk su" as a Japanese translation of the European word "sex", this review does seem to suggest that ekibens are linked with sex in some manner in the movie, but further than that I cannot say. -Tony SidawayTalk 18:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
It's conceivable that there are some Japanese-language puns involving the word "ekiben" and sex, in that film or elsewhere, but I ran it past a couple of Japanese friends who confirm that it's not an actual term, slang or otherwise, for a sexual position. Even if this is real, and not just a one-liner in a movie, Wikipedia is not a (slang) dictionary. MCB

[edit] Pedro Rosa Nales
Vanity/Unverifiable facts. The page's claim that Nales is a member of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame is doubtful, since I didn't find him listed among inductees, and many of his other claims are difficult or impossible to verify. This page seems to be vanity; however, there remains the possibility that his work as a newsanchor could cause some to feel he is notable enough to merit an entry.

[edit] 8888
Unencyclopedic list of people, name whose title is not intuitively obvious (and could be confused with a year, considering Wikipedia's policy on number naming). Zoe 05:14, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wikisource, perhaps? (Would still need to be renamed per nom.) --Alan Au 05:17, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Transwiki and rename as per the above. - ulayiti (talk) (my RfA) 08:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Comment. This page struck me as strange, so I decided to look into it in detail. It was created 2005-08-09 by 219.122.37.209. On the day it was created, Jtkiefer SD-tagged it as nonsense [6], probably while on NP patrol. However, 219.122.37.209 removed the tag, and it apparently went unnoticed. The only article that was linked to the page was the Myanmar article, in reference to a violent repression of Burmese citizens that took place 17 years ago. It turns out that the title, 8888, is the way that date is remembered by those in the region (it happened on 8.8.1988). It was a pivotal event in the bloody tragedy that has marked that country all these years. The entire content of the article space was taken from a website [7], which appears to be that of an organization devoted to Myanmar's troubled history. It is copyrighted material. I have done the following: Edited the Myanmar article to delink it from 8888, and placed an in text external link to the original website. Placed a copyvio tag on 8888, and blanked the page. With the technical conflict of AfD and CVio rules I wondered whether to leave it, but I'd say the copyvio takes precedence, and the history is available in any case. I listed it on the eternally slow copyvio, but if Zoe or another closing sysop decide to go ahead and delete the page, this can be delisted. I don't think I've ever felt this sad in blanking & copyvio tagging a page.—Encephalon | ζ 09:21:33, 2005-09-02 (UTC)Now tagged as copyvio. But anyway it's a list of people killed in a Burman uprising - WP:NOT a memorial, and neither in fact is Wikisource. Delete. Oh, and to answer the above - CP usually takes precedence, but given its slowness, if it happens to have consensus to delete here it can be removed nonetheless.

- Hi Bhadani. I agree with you that they're obviously not the same (I'm sure everyone who voted agrees too). However, the idea behind the redirect vote is that the spellings are often confused, and people looking for Confucianism will often type in Confusionism. A redirect will send them to the correct article. Creating redirects for common misspellings is apparently done fairly often on WP. However, it is likely this page will be deleted outright.Best wishes—encephalon | ζ 17:49:33, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Remo
Delete A nn contributor to a website. A google search of "chris remo" shacknews returns 24 unique google hits. Most of the article's content would fall under hoax anyway. TM (talk) 08:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- I've put up a speedy tag on the article since it was suggested during discussion. --TM (talk) 14:16, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
He is an official staffer at Shacknews.com who has a certain lore about him that is well seperated into a seperate section. Maybe the article should be LOCKED but not deleted. Since he does have a history of good stuff at idle thumbs, since it wasn't put up by shacknews officials, and since it is pretty clear what is goofy lore about Remo as it is seperated and what is fact, deletion would be wrong. Some of the related articles are junk and could be deleted, thats for sure. But the actual Chris Remo part should stay the same.
If anything, the now re-branded 'lore' section should be deleted and the article locked for a period.
I think the fable's of Chris Remo should be kept for future reference about the great man that is Chris Remo.
Yes he is a great guy but that is not the point of wikipedia. We don't need to infest this part of the internet with our diseases.

[edit] Windsor North School
Nominated by Kapa who I immediately blocked as an impersonator of Kappa. I am finishing the nomination. Most likely a bad faith nomination, but the article is a very short one. My vote is merge with Invercargill. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Might want to mention that even though the history appears to show Kappa as the only contributor to this article, it was actually made by User:202.74.213.236, under the title Windsor north school. It was then apparently deleted and moved simultaneously. So please don't start spamming Kappa's talkpage asking for an explanation of why he is making such substubs.

Proto t c 12:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)The article establishes that it's a school, and as UniReb says, schools are notable.

- While that is true, again look at prior VfD's, we've had people who desire to keep any school, just so long as it's a school (some of them even voted to keep a local grocery store just because it existed). By that logic my house should be kept as an article as learning takes place there and it's multicultural. I'm not defending the 100% deletionists by any means, but I'm also very much against the 100% keep people as well. Neither position is tenable. Gateman1997 23:50, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Meaningful discussion has long since ceased and a number of people are no longer civil, an AfD merely exacerbates that lack of meaningful discussion.--Nicodemus75 10:44, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'm going to concentrate my efforts for a few days on cataloguing the current rate of growth of school articles on Wikipedia. I've a feeling that when we all get a clear picture of the raw growth rate we'll all agree that any efforts made on AfD, except those that result in improvement of articles during a discussion, are unlikely to be effective in restraining the growth rate of relatively low quality school stubs.
- I don't decry the listing of articles on AfD, at least at the reasonable rates that have pertained since the mass nominations of mid-May, but neither do I believe that it's possible to represent the AfD process truthfully as posing a quality control on school articles insofar as it deletes articles of poor quality.
- I support school AfDs (although I nearly always vote keep) for a different reason: the discipline of the five day discussion followed by a life-or-death decision is useful in focussing attention and driving the research and expansion process of school stubs. Without that process, I don't think so many articles about schools would have attained of good quality in so short a time--some of them only days after first creation. I'm convinced that school articles will nearly all converge to a good quality as the decades pass, and that the number of school articles on Wikipedia will continue to increase for many years to come, but the AfD process has been useful in driving the process and pushing thw quality up early in the game. --Tony SidawayTalk 12:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

The site presents a nontraditional medical theory which as of 2005 does not have any widespread acceptance. A Google search on sites that link to www.what-is-cancer.com yields only 75 hits, only 18 of which are displayed, most of which are internal links within the site.

- Comment The search in PubMed under the name of Zajicek G yields 180 references of which about 40 are on streaming in various organs

- It does.
- Most of the most relevant papers were published in Medical Hypotheses. This journal is published by the well-known publisher Elseviers, and has an editor, but describes itself as follows:
- "Medical Hypotheses takes a deliberately different approach to peer review. Most contemporary practice tends to discriminate against radical ideas that conflict with current theory and practice. Medical Hypotheses will publish radical ideas, so long as they are coherent and clearly expressed. Furthermore, traditional peer review can oblige authors to distort their true views to satisfy referees, and so diminish authorial responsibility and accountability. In Medical Hypotheses, the authors' responsibility for the integrity, precision and accuracy of their work is paramount. The editor sees his role as a 'chooser', not a 'changer': choosing to publish what are judged to be the best papers from those submitted. Papers in Medical Hypotheses take a standard scientific form in terms of style, structure and referencing. The journal therefore constitutes a bridge between cutting-edge theory and the mainstream of medical and scientific communication, which ideas must eventually enter if they are to be critiqued and tested against observations."
- Our ban on "original research" is usually taken to apply to material which has not been published outside Wikipedia. I would describe this as material that has been published, and has been been published in a "medical journal," one significant enough to be indexed by PubMed... but a rather odd "medical journal." I think it is accurate to say that it is not peer-reviewed. "Medical Hypotheses" seems to be intentionally set up for the exposure of not-yet-accepted theories. If so, that material would not yet be ready for inclusion in an encyclopedia.
- My "delete" vote stands—but on shakier ground. Dpbsmith (talk)
Comment Nearly all publications on streaming organs were published in peer reviewed journals here are some data on the streaming liver
Dig. Dis. Sci. 1 publication Liver 8 publications Gastroenterology 2 publications
Gentlemen, it seems to me that your arguments are not serious. The Streaming Organism theory is based on reliable experiments which were published in peer reviewed journals. You may not like it which does not mean that you may censor it. Such an act would undermine the free spirit of Wikipedia.

The squirrel article, however, does mention them, and in so far as there's mention of something in a legitimate WP article, it may be more helpful to be able to direct interested readers to that article rather than make it somewhat more difficult (that was my reasoning anyway). It is likely that the mention of the society in the squirrel article is the work of one of its members (although not the creator of the ASPS page), but since the editors of the squirrel article do not object to its mention, and it has remained in that article, I don't see why a redirect to this information is a bad thing.

- Merge into a "responses to Hurricane Katrina" article or section. There are currently a few suitable articles and sections; I would like to see all of those merged into a Hurricane Katrina disaster relief and Hurricane Katrina#Responses, each of which would have both "United States" and "Global" subsections. +sj + 03:21, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Merge into Political effects of Hurricane Katrina or delete. This article appears to be a list, and I count four items actually relevant to its topic. Regardless, this definitely has all the makings of a POV can of worms; I can see how a lot of activities could be conveniently overlooked. --timc | Talk 04:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: It's hard to ignore the irony that Russian response to Hurricane Katrina is up and running, while George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina is VFDed due to a lack of content. --Gebuhuka 04:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Keep an eye on Vladimir Putin's response to Hurricane Katrina and see how much information is available for that. There is a difference between the action which a leader can cause to be done as opposed to how much he can do with his two hands. (SEWilco 05:57, 8 September 2005 (UTC))
- Comment: Article is expanded, please reconsider. I don't really object to the idea of merging it, but I'm not sure how this can be done with the existing articles. Gebuhuka 08:19, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per Tony Sidaway. --Tsaddik Dervish 11:23, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Merge: But only if it can be kept as a separate line of events. Rename as "The President's Activity During Same Time Frame" or something like that. Being named as his "response" doesn't allow the article to fairly include activities not directly related to Hurricane K. Rather, it forces an implied non-response which I'd rather not see in the Wikipedia. By renaming it, the same details could remain and the reader could decide for her/himself the relevance to Hurricane Katrina. Wynote.blogspot.com 08:16, 8 September 2005

- I'm gonna Speedy it under A1, for those curious the whole article is "The Chookpen is a place for all fanatical Sydney Roosters fans!".

[edit] Laodice I Princess of Syria
OR; cf Laodice I. Not useful redirect Septentrionalis 17:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
weak keep tell us more information .... dates would be useful ... as it stands the article is uninformative, can it be expanded? Rhyddfrydol 21:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- revise vote to delete there is Wikipedia policy not to include biographical details of fictious persons I believe. Thanks for the extra info Rhyddfrydol 23:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- No vote (for now) there is certainly nonsense here, this article claims Laodice was daughter of Laodice I and mother of Laodice of Pontus. Yet, the article on Laodice of Pontus claims that these same women were sisters. Yet, this [25] tends to bear out this current article. Septentrionalis, can you explain what is going on here? I think we need some expertise to settle this one. --Doc (?) 22:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- The writer invented a new history of Syria, including ruling queens who never ruled, and descents that never existed. The five women dabbed under Laodice appear to be real, and their contents check out with standard classical encyclopedias. This is a figment. Compare the original version of Laodice I Queen of Syria, which I salvaged as a useful redirect Septentrionalis 22:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- OK I'm satisfied that Septentrionalis knows something about Hellenistic History - so unless someone provides evidence to refute him/her (and I think that unlikely) safest thing to do is delete. Hope some more folk vote, because if this is bogus, a 'keep no consensus' would be disastrous. --Doc (?) 22:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Article appears to be original research (WP:NOR) and there are no matches in searchable media outlets for this term being common enough to merit an article.

- Unsigned comment by 65.80.52.246, users third edit, the other two of which are also 'rapedome' additions.
- Delete. The comment "largely young black men raping young white women" indicates that this is original research because it doesn ot appear in media reports. Even if this term is appering in on-line communities, that makes it a dictionary definition for Wiktionary, not an encyclopedia entry. Even in that case, it is unlikely that the term will be a part of the American English language beyond the end of October. Ground Zero | t 19:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- That's okay, it happens to all of us sometimes. Anyway, I did some research of my own, and,
although"Ardzruni" does seem to be {[26],[27], [28]) a legitimate name in Armenian history,I'm forced to concur that this page is so incoherent as to be unsalvageable - unless someone wants to rewrite it from scratch, in which case we might as well just delete it anyway and start over with a clean edit history.

- Keep. Although I can't find a secondary source confirming all the names, there is no doubt from a search of Google and a few hits in articles on JSTOR (search Ardzrouni as an alternative spelling) that this was a significant dynasty of regional rulers in Armenia during a the first millennium. Edit or comment out whatever seems difficult to confirm; there is no reason to delete the entire article. Uppland 09:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. After Charles' cleanup, this is an acceptible article. As for verifying the info here with Google, I'm not surprised that a topic like this (i.e., detailed or esoteric) would get short shrift from a search there.

[edit] Northern Ireland naming dispute
This is fundamentally a [POV] issue, not something worthy of academic or encyclopaedic record. So long as the "occupation" continues, one side will insist on pan-Irish nomenclature. So long as one "Ulster loyalist" lives (in Derry, Glasgow or the farthest reaches of Antarctica), the other side will insist on nomenclature to reflect its belief that the counties are at the heart of the English suburban sprawl. Politics will solve this, not rational argument. The answer may also lie with EU decress, since both England and the Free State have joined the Union, and therefore have abrogated the final say on their nationhood to Brussels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.196 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 1 September 2005

- Strong keep. There's no reason to delete this article. It doesn't try to say what the place in question should be called, merely to document that there is a dispute. It seems to do that pretty well, and (though I'm not an expert in the area) there doesn't seem to be anything here that either side would object to. I found it interesting.

- Comment moreover its no wonder that the only article that points to the article is Sinn Féin.

- Delete The page is largely unencylopedic, the most valid points from this article, criticism by Kurds and Islamists, is covered in Kemal Ataturk under "Criticism of Reforms". No respectable source accuses Ataturk of sanctioning a genocide. --A.Garnet 12:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment Usually I will want this article deleted, because ciritics of Ataturk should be included in his own entry. But since Turkish nationalists consider that dictator as more suprem than Allah, and will not premit criticism in his own entry, I don't know what other alternative there can be. If Ataturks entry was to be like how articles should be written, than I will be the first placing this article to deletion. For now, I don't know if this article should be deleted or not. Fadix 16:10, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment, i have more than three times tried to add a more a encylopedic criticism section to Ataturk here, here and here (dismissing much of the pro-Turk rhetoric such as Kurds dont exist) only for it to be replaced by this article. --A.Garnet 16:27, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

It reports that the company only had 144 boxes of the product to start and sold out in two days. Crypticfirefly 05:32, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, this got some news coverage [30] and should be considered verifiable.

[edit] List of religious leaders in 1911
I looked at this article expecting to find a list of religious leaders -- okay, maybe just one & a note that this was an incomplete list. Instead I found this biography of someone who is described as a "great muhaddith of islam". No mention of him on Wikipedia, & a Google search turns up this, which suggests that he may be an Urdu poet. however, if that is the case, then this article gets so much wrong about Mr Azeemabadi that we might as well delete what's here, & write a new article on Azeemabadi from scratch. llywrch 23:19, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- This page needed to be fixed, & IMHO this is as good as any solution. My initial concern in nominating this article was to note that I could find no justification for saving the original text, & get a sense whether anyone else could rescue it. -- llywrch 17:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Cockeyed.com is a website that has moved beyond the standard personal website, blog, or advertisement venue. It has become an important part of internet culture by combining humor, science, and a slice of life in non-coastal California. Its creator has been featured on MTV2 with a segment titled "How much is inside Dave Grohl?" While the website does feature advertising, it is a mecca of anti-spam, anti-pyramid scheme information. The creator's research on the Herbalife pyramid scheme is an excellent piece of journalism that rivals any main-stream media investigation. This website is important enough to internet culture that it deserves recognition in this Encyclopedia. Crazym108 00:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
