[edit] Monroe mann
While an actor with this name exists IMDb he is a not notable actor with a brief appearance in 1 movie. Also the article is slanderous and full of inaccuracies. feydey 00:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ping972
Although this webcomic is now defunct, if it were notable, I should be able to find some mention of it in Google. Google only has 25 results for ping972, and a search for ping 972 returns nothing which suggests the webcomic was notable. Article claims it was mentioned by another webcomic, but I don't feel this is notable, nor is being available in 2 languages. - Hahnchen 00:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chili powder (color)
All of the colour articles were subject to a blanket AfD here. This was closed as a delete all, although the talk page for that AfD was tabulated otherwise. VfU opted to undelete all the articles and give them seperate AfDs (see the bottom of VfU for my reasoning on this). So here they are. If you wish to make a blanket comment on these articles please copy paste your comment into each — do not expect the closer to extrapolate your intent in these exceptional circumstances. Thank you. No comment from me. -Splashtalk 00:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Without any kind of source or authority for the name, and no background, these are not starts to a real article. This is self-indulgent article-creation vanity. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete ALL - I know this is precisely what the previous AFD didn't want. I've just looked through all of those listed down to starsomething, and I'm going to say delete for every single one. I really think copying and pasting my comments would be a waste of time and effort. - Hahnchen 00:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep - the color is important for what it evokes, and why. Also, Allmusic.com reveals no fewer than nine songs or versions of songs with this name, which is plenty more than "Olive-yellow" would ever get. -- BD2412 talk 00:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep notable reference color, used to described othee shades of red "x is between fire engine red and y" because of the common assumption, that it is a well known and fixed color. Unfortunately this isn't the case (and all sort of different identifications are in use, e.g. to PMS 185 and PMS 032). --Pjacobi 00:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, we have several pictures to satisfy curiosity about the color of fire trucks. Furthermore, the color isn't uniform even when red (as I recently found out during an alarm), although you might assume so if you stay in one city long enough. Gazpacho 00:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Reasonably widespread colour term. And it's not the same as the colour of fire engines — they can be green. Flowerparty■ 01:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- If it's not even that, then why is it notable? Gazpacho
- Keep. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I wouldn't have expected to vote this way, but BDA's evidence swayed me. Xoloz 05:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I think it would make much more sense to delete the color page and make a separate page for the song (or songs) than to leave both of them together. -Nameneko 06:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but only if merged with Red. What more is there to say that justifies a separate article? Jonathunder 07:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - referenced in songs. Widespread. Per other keepers. --Celestianpower hablamé 08:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep can be expanded to discuss the history of the use of the color in fire departments and the nine songs BDA found. - Mgm|(talk) 08:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep this is one of the few of these worth keeping. Why are fire engines red? What is the history of the use of this colour for fire engines? Are they all the same red? And - other than the one by The Grid - what are the other eight songs??? Grutness...wha? 12:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and list all of the songs. (Probably dispatch the infobox though). --TimPope 16:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This colour is more notable than the other ones on AfD. I think I may have heard of this term too. --Optichan 19:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- While I don't agree with keeping all of the color articles, I argue keep for this one. This color has a lot of cultural ties, from (apparently 9 songs, to being a common cosmetic name (especially nail polish and lipstick, in my experience), and probably lots of other uses we don't know of yet. Expand. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Keep but only if it can be demonstrated that (essentially) all red fire engines are the (essentially) the same shade of red. MCB 00:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The article needs considerable expansion and I'm unconvinced that fire engines are the same shade of red the world over, but at least there's some kind of source. Sliggy 12:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but needs expansion. -Sean Curtin 00:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. I've heard of this, although I don't know how much expansion is possible. Carbonite | Talk 16:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Redirecting would be pointless, as there are so few articles that link there. Simply changing the link for the one article that links to Terra cotta (color) to Terra cotta would make much more sense and would help with future use of the term. What I'm saying is that if there is nothing verifiable to merge and the page is simply going to be turned into a redirect, there would be little necessity for the page, as it is just more complicated to link to the redirect than it would be to link to the article it redirects to. -Nameneko 06:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)- Redirecting is also useful in preventing future accidental recreation of an article. Although it is much more likely someone would search without the qualifier, if they do, this will prevent them from being given the oh-so-tempting "write-me" redlink. Besides, they're cheap. Xoloz 06:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- That makes sense. Redirect. However, when merged, the color portion shouldn't go overboard. We don't need information on "dark terra cotta" or "pale terra cotta" or "aquamarineish terra cotta with a hint of magenta-cyan", just the color "terra cotta". -Nameneko 22:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- True story - one of the secretaries at my work came to my office to show me the choices of tile she might put in her patio, and she said, "I'm between the red and the terra cotta" and I jumped up from my chair and went, "Aha!" - she must've thought I was crazy. -- BD2412 talk 01:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Tomato. This is the only one of these that is at all difficult to call. We're just about over two-thirds to delete on numbers, and I don't honestly understand why people think this is useful as a redirect given the vast unlikeliness of anybody thinking to search for it, parentheses and all. However, given how clear the other debates were, and the vascillation by Tim Pope, I'll say there's not outright consensus to delete and will apply the redirect. RfD may feel differently if someone wants to try that. -Splashtalk 18:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Demonic Boppu
A defunct webcomic hosted on keenspace, found here. A google search along with the article content show no assertion of notability. Although the comic apparently lasted over 3 years from 2001 to 2004, this does not mean it is notable, no matter what WP:COMIC may claim. Wikipedia is not a memorial for the dead, moreover it is not a memorial to dead websites. - Hahnchen 00:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think this is a memorial for the dead. While the main comic has ended, that was only due to the storyline coming to an end. It's not because the Webcomic artist gave up on it. Her latest comic is still set in the same "world" as Demonic Boppu, and is in many ways a sequel. I had every intention of adding to this article when I had time, and more information. I'm sorry if you do not agree with the standards of WP:COMIC but in many ways the comic meets those standards. Perhaps you should set your sights on changing the standards first? Arleas 23:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- May I introduce you to comixPedia, a wiki for comics? You should start and expand your article on Demonic Boppu there, it doesn't exist yet. I know if you were a fan of the comic, it's nice to see an article on wikipedia, but it really isn't the place for it, especially ones which have not stated their notability. - Hahnchen 16:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Syntax Error (webcomic)
A non notable webcomic which can be found here. Although Alexa figures can be misleading, a ranking of over 2 million must mean it is not popular. A google search for syntax errors comic shows up nothing which would make this website more notable than any other, and a google search for syntax errors just gives pages about actual syntax errors. Yet again, this is a comic found on wikipedia and not Comixpedia where it belongs, due to the massively lax inclusion criteria at WP:COMIC. - Hahnchen 00:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete, probable hoax. There is no reference to any such god in Edith Hamilton's Mythology, and the word Vercvator isn't even a possible word of Latin. The handful of hits for Vercvactor as the Roman god of first ploughing on non-Wikipedia-mirror sites (as opposed to its use as a User name in various internet forums and the like) makes me suspect a hoax initiated outside Wikipedia and duplicated here in good faith. But a hoax nonetheless. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)I figured it out: Vercvactor is just a typo. The real spelling is Vervactor, and he's already mentioned at Ceres.

With every single one of the articles listed in the September 21 mass-nomination of elementary and middle school articles now closed as a no consensus keep, the success rate of school deletion listings has dropped from its previous low of 13% earlier in September to 11% now. And from now on nobody on Wikipedia will regard elementary school deletions as a pushover. So far for September, one school article has been deleted for 49 kept. The deleted article was a hoax. --Tony SidawayTalk 02:19, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think it may almost be time to re-open a wide-ranging debate about Policy. Given the survival of almost all schools at the AfD process, the chronic nomination of schools (particularly mass-nominations) is steering very close to disruptive behavior, going forward. I think the question needs to be put to those that do not believe schools to be notable institutions in their own right, how many elementary schools have to survive the AfD process in order to establish a "rough concensus" that school articles (and stubs) should not be deleted? I'm not merely asking this rhetorically, but how many AfD votes that do not result in article deletion are necessary to establish "rough concensus" to "not delete" (as opposed to a concensus to "keep")? An honest and open debate on that question will soon need to begin, in order to end the abuse of AfD with multi and mass-nominations of school stub articles that will doubtless survive the AfD process. The issue is not whether schools should be debated on "their own merits" but whether or not "elementary schools are non-notable" is a legitimate reason to nominate an article (or 21 of them in one day) for AfD. If a policy can established on that question, then we could actually debate each school on it's merits as an article.--Nicodemus75 15:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- "elementary schools are non-notable" is not a valid reason to put one on AfD, but "this elementary schools is non-notable" is a good reason. However, it's impossible to actually do this at the moment, because of the large "schools are notable by definition" movement. It is clear that the continuing nominations of NN schools for AfD indicate a sizable minority of Wikipedians disagree with the premise that schools are inherently notable. A middle ground is required - as has already been suggested, a page with a table of schools in a particular district (and other misc. info like roll size, founding date, etc.), and any notable schools can be linked to from their entry on that table.--inks 23:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

- In grave danger? This has already happened, even if some haven't caught on yet. Because WP embraces consensus (and keeps by default unless ~70% favor deletion), and because enough committed editors care about these articles (claiming schools are public institutions, and ipso facto, notable), these articles will almost always stay. NB: I don't care, really; I don't know whether I think schools are notable, but I understand that enough people do such that a decision has effectively already been taken. Soon enough, indifferent editors like me will understand the same, and this rough keep consensus will become policy. Xoloz 08:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- The problems with a broad "keep articles on schools" policy is the inevitable extension to encompass primary schools, kindergardens, creches, technical schools, military schools, vocational colleges, language schools, art schools, schools for the gifted (and not so gifted) and other innumerable variations of organised education. I would personally prefer each article to be debated on its own merits, which happens for just about everything else. A quick look at the comments on this page suggests that I'm not alone here (although I am outnumbered) :)--inks 09:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

- Kappa, you have not been here long enough to remember when even high schools had to meet notability criteria. At that time, those who expressed concerns that elementary schools would be next on the list if high schools were granted automatic right-to-exist status were pooh-poohed. Look, however, at the last spate of AfD nominations, and the comments made by users such as yourself. I will not be surprised at all when arguments begin to be made for the automatic inclusion of kindergartens and daycares, on the sole ground that they are "inherently notable". This is what I fight. I have no objection whatever to articles on genuinely notable schools. I would have no objection to an article on a genuinely notable daycare or kindergarten either. At the same time, I oppose the blanket inclusion of any public institution. And yes, if I had my druthers, battleships, Simpsons episodes, and baseball playeres would all have to meet entry criteria as well. It is, however, a disingenuous argument that just because they are currently immune from AfD, so too should something else be. (Oh, and trust me, pokemon characters are not all sacrosanct. I've happily seen a few go into the furnace recently.) Denni☯ 01:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- I feel motivated to speak in Kappa's defense here. Kate's tool says he has been here since Sept. 2004, and that you've only been here eight months longer, Denni. No offense, but I do believe it's natural and expected for consensus to evolve, and I think its a bit irrelevant to refer to an older state of affairs that apparently existed 21 months ago, but had dissolved as early as 13 months ago, as if it were of precedential value. On a related note, it seems to me that the "rump" of opposition that continues to fight high schools only serves to promote other schools. Those who oppose schools rarely make any distinction among grade-levels, so why should their adversaries. Xoloz 22:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks Xolox well put. As I said, I think the fears of people claiming daycares to be "inherently notable" are exaggerated, but the most likely way to create such people is by continually attacking educational institutions as non-notable. The idea that consensus should be torn up on baseball players, Simpsons episodes etc, seems an incredibly retrograde step, exposing every editor who would try to improve such articles to a semi-random threat of deletion.

- Comment: Perhaps a worthwhile mental exercise when considering AfDs relating to institutions is to imagine the subject as a person. In this case, we would have "St Anne's School is a teacher who lives in Seattle. She is five foot four, has brown hair and blue eyes (this is the equivalent of the data on the school's ethnic makeup). She thinks she's a very good teacher." Would that be notable? The fact that the school is a few thousand times bigger than a person makes no odds - zero notability multiplied by a thousand equals zero notability. --Last Malthusian 13:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- that is your opinion lm but not one that really holds up because schools are not humans it is kind of like comparing a can of apple sauce and an apple sauce factory Yuckfoo 14:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not so much trying to argue notability or lack of, but suggesting a different approach: the question of whether these articles contain any encyclopaedic information. Ethnicity data for a school or an American county may look impressive, but without some kind of "value-added" it's no more useful than someone's eye colour. And my other argument stands: if an entity consists of several thousand people, it means nothing if they're all non-notable. --Last Malthusian 16:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I'm concerned ethnicity data for an American country or a school adds a great deal of value. It tells me a lot more about a person or community than eye color does. Kappa 02:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

"The high proportion of Hispanics in this school/county has created ethnic tension" or "His blue eyes secured him the role of Inspector Knacker in Crime Drama X" are useful information, but this is completely absent in this case. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Last Malthusian 10:13, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- I feel I know a person better if I know their ethnic background, and the same for a school or a county. If it was a university in Kazakhstan, wouldn't you like to know what proportion of students were Kazakhs and what proportion were Russian? Kappa 17:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

- I'm not so much trying to argue notability or lack of, but suggesting a different approach: the question of whether these articles contain any encyclopaedic information. Ethnicity data for a school or an American county may look impressive, but without some kind of "value-added" it's no more useful than someone's eye colour. And my other argument stands: if an entity consists of several thousand people, it means nothing if they're all non-notable. --Last Malthusian 16:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete - Being a prisoner isn't notable enough for me, no matter at which prison. If Geo Swan can expand it then I may change my vote. Wouldn't it be better for an article on UK detainees at Guantanamo summarising the prisoners as a whole? - Hahnchen 02:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - Although I haven't personally checked the facts, I'll assume they are correct and he is indeed one of the few notable prisoners there. When I originally voted, there was nothing to distinguish him from other prisoners. Nice work. - Hahnchen 17:15, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. Jamil al Banna's case has been the cause of controversy (see [5]). The only redirect that would make sense would be to an article called something like Foreign-born British residents without citizenship imprisoned at Guantánamo. But even then the problem is that the citizenship issues for a Palestinian like al Banna are quit different from those such as Iraqi-born Bisher al-Rawi. For this reason I would strongly favour having a separate page for each man, where details of their cases can be given. The legal case around the internment of these men is the touchstone for formulations of international law in the last four years, and will probably help to define the concept of international law for another decade or more. For that reason each individual case is highly notable and encyclopedic. I've expanded the article a little, and would expect that this expansion will continue with input from more legally-minded contributors. Vizjim 10:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a notable musical recording, and it shouldn't matter whether or not it's of an old song; we have a whole category of Category:Whitney Houston singles. Also, let's move this to The Star Spangled Banner (Whitney Houston single).--Pharos 02:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- That isn't a bad idea. Call it Notable recordings of The Star Spangled Banner .There, dicussions of all major versions of the song could be covered. Writng an article about just the Whitney Houston version seperately looks disarmingly POV. Whitney Houston could not possibly be the only artist to perform a highly notable version of the song. --FuriousFreddy 04:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. This article is actually pretty long for a single recording, and (perhaps surprisingly) most all of it is even relevant. If the article was a little blurb I could see merging it, but this has the heft that it should stand on its own.--Pharos 04:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Then edit it. An article's legnth should not make it inherently notable. I could write a 50k article on what items are inside my car and how it got there, in full prose and with footnotes, but that doesn't inherently make that article notable. --FuriousFreddy 04:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. OK, this sort of thing is a bit fancruftish, but there's some consistency to having pages for all the charted singles of a popular singer. *Dan T.* 04:33, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- We are in the process of setting definite guidelines for all song articles; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs. But, suffice it to say that every charting song from an artist does not need an article. --FuriousFreddy 04:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. [1] Wrong title. "The Star Spangled Banner" is not a "Whitney Houston song". It's a Whitney Houston recording. [2] the article claims it was for fundraising, and provides no details of any funds raised. [3] "blew the crowd away" is a bit hyperbolic for Wikipedia, no? [4] "her version is the most recognized vocal version of the song in the modern generation" is unprovable piffle. And what of Rosanne Barr's ageless rendition? Why have we no article on it? [5] "Houston had performend [sic] the song in front of nearly 100 million spectators and TV viewers at the Super Bowl" (she had actually lip-synched rather than performed.). [6] "the golden girl of the industry"? [7] "even more shocking the song could reach that high". If there's actually any important information in this "article", put it in Whitney Houston's article. - Nunh-huh 04:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Whatever crufty flaws there may be in the current edit, the atmosphere of patriotism/jingoism surrounding the 1991 Iraq War, and this song's special place in it, makes this recording independently notable. Move, as suggested, to the better title. Xoloz 05:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

and deleteThe majority of this article is POV fancruft and original research/essay/review—it even gives a brief explanation of Sept. 11 and the effect of it on this song—and can be cut. However, it is semi-notable in the sense of being a major modern recording of the song (though maybe not as much of one as Hendrix's, but I'm more of a Jimi fan myself) and can be noted in the relevant section of the main article. --Blackcap | talk 06:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, this version of the Star Spangled Banner is a classic that has has a large cultural impact as it has been released twice during critical periods and its profits have gone to help those in need. It is still viewed as one of the best recordings of the U.S. anthem and one of the best recordings of Whitney Houston's career, so it is very notable. It was even officially released as a single and received airplay and sold very well, charting on many Billboard charts and even topping the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart for 6 weeks. --Musicpvm 03:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

- No, that is definitely not all there is to say about. There is an entire article-worth of information to say about it as is evident when looking at the article, and I find all that information to be encyclopedic! There is no reason to delete all that information and merge this into another article and say a few lines about it when there is much more to say about it.

The result of the debate was no consensus (12 keep, 7 delete, 4 merge). However, I did move the article to Do You Know Where You're Going To? (Theme from Mahogany) (Mariah Carey recording). Robert 23:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Do You Know Where You're Going To? (Theme from Mahogany) (Mariah Carey song)
Article about a cover of a Diana Ross song. This song was not a hit in any country, and was not given a full release as a single. The article fails to establish any other notablility, and therefor the neccessity for a seperate article is questionable. Not even the orignal song has enough information availabel on it to honestly have its own article (this article was in fact written first, with only passing mention to the more notable original). The original version had a stub article which I have now merged and redirected to Mahogany (1975 film), where it reads better (well, at least I am trying to redirect it, although OmegaWikipedia seems intent on reverting the redirection, for unexplained reasons). Suggest a redirect for this article to the album, with summarization of article text. If and when someone wants to write one article about the composition and any notable recorded versions of it, and has enough information and established notablility to do so, it can be done. FuriousFreddy 01:54, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Mariah Carey's version of Do You Know Where You're Going To? (Theme from Mahogany) is far from a promotional recording. It was meant to be a full single, but there's a whole story behind it on why it got cancelled due to conflicts with other artists and with record labels. That's notability right there. If you merge or delete the article, thast information that will get lost. One article per song doesnt' look good. And in a prior attempt to merge songs over another article, most people commented that it did not look good OmegaWikipedia 12:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Singles get cancelled all the time. A single getting cancelled because of record-label politics does not establish notability. An article on this recording is overkill, a paragraph on an album article is more than enough. --FuriousFreddy 21:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- I agree with Kappa that this level of coverage is a strength of Wikipedia. I could understand the urge to merge this one, but the album article would be way too long that way.

- Keep. Do not request for deletion just because you do not like an artist. DrippingInk 20:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
- Who here is requesting for deletion because they don't like Mariah Carey? Certainly not I; serveral of her songs are among my favorites, and she is a great singer. This nomination has nothing to do with whether or not I like the singer or not; it has to do with the neccessity for an article. --FuriousFreddy 23:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of songs in movie trailers that are not in the movie
I don't really think this list is even "important" enough to be in an encyclopedia. I don't think that anyone would ever go looking for th is information and go "wow that's interesting", but I could be wrong. But I just think the list is pretty pointless.

- It is, as Average Earthman notes. I can't tell you how many movie trailers I've seen featuring a song by Enya or featuring O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. Al 12:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This is actually very common, so the list will be very long. The soundtrack is often the last thing to be fixed in a film, often after the publicity machine has started, which is why trailers often have the theme tunes from completely different films. Average Earthman 09:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- It happens because soundtracks are the last thing to be added to a film (if the making of the film extras are to be trusted). The music isn't finalised when the trailer is released, so they add appropriate music instead. I think. Oh, and delete. Sabine's Sunbird 23:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Ideally I'd say that article should be merged into this one, but vice versa would be okay too. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The craze for personalised number plates is important to the history of car ownership too, but it doesn't mean we should list every single one of them; an overview article with some notable examples would be more than enough. If some way could be found of sifting out only those hidden tracks which had been notable in themselves that might be different, but I can't see how that could be done. In any case, that would fit better in the article Andrew/Starblind mentioned above. Loganberry (Talk) 11:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I disagree that it's unmaintainable; true, it's an incomplete and open-ended list but it can be added to (and so improved) over time. All the same, I agree that there would seem to be a need for some criteria as to which tracks are included if there really are thousands of them. Marcus22 11:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The more interesting ones can go in Hidden tracks. Reconsider if and when the number is so large that the size of the Hidden tracks article becomes unwieldy. What is the case for saying that someone looking for information on hidden tracks is going to type in "List of hidden tracks" rather than "hidden tracks," or that the search feature and/or Google will be any more effective in finding them if they are in a separate article? Dpbsmith (talk) 12:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Merge into Hidden track or Keep if the resulting article would be too unwieldy. This satisfies my main criterion for lists, which is that the list must add value in some way to an existing Wikipedia article. This is a useful supplement to Hidden track, which describes a salient and established practice in pop music. android79 12:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per DPBSmith, or merge the most noteworthy examples into Hidden track or List of albums containing a hidden track. Uncompleteable. Barno 15:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep-I came across this page today and I find it very valuable. I get to see how phillies fans think on a real board.
Keep-I originally said delete, but finding now that there is an entry for "Sons of Sam Horn" I've changed my opinion. The entry will be upgraded in terms of appearance and content shortly, if it is not deleted, by board members. I have no idea why "Sons" should be notable, but "philliesphans" wouild be non-notable. Is is a Red Sox vs. Phillies thing, or does it have to do with the entry itself? --phillychuck, a moderator of said site.
Keep- and it seems the majority here agrees.
- Just a note that the forum does have a topic about the Wikipedia article and its AfD status, and though they, to their credit, don't seem to be calling out the vote on this, I think it's safe to say that the majority if not the entirety of this collection of anonys are simply forum members sticking up for their board. Lord Bob 20:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I just read that, and think it's worth mentioning that they do seem to be fairly mature about it, which is better than a number of forum-based stuff that's been deleted in the past. The post by "donmoney" is particularly good and quite reasonable about the whole thing. For anyone coming here from the forum, I'd like to point out that ( 1 ) we're voting about the topic, not the article... it isn't a matter of making it bigger, or adding pictures, or anything like that ( 2 ) votes from new or anonymous users generally aren't counted, and a whole lot of them tends to make the article look bad and thus less likely to be kept. Feel free to comment and add to the discussion though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per Mgm. Nice to see some new users around, though. -Splashtalk 20:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
As noted above, Son of Sam Horn warrants a page. If you take a look at the site it is as good as any, and certainly as good as Son of Sam Horn. The discussion of sabremetrics demystifies these stats for many uninformed phans. The folks posting are generally professionals. donmoney being a lawyer, PC is in stats and so on. As with Son of Sam Horn the contacts that post on the site often scoop the media on Phillies information. The site is not commercial in any way, contrary to a note at the top of the page. joboggi
Delete, delete, delete. This group makes baseball sound so dry and empty. Lacking in passion and color. Their use of stats is pointed out as a reason to be allowed on wiki. Their gross overuse of stats sucks all the life out of this passionate game. This is not an attempt at serious archiving but in advertising this site. Delete.
Let me add a comment--we have no need nor desire to advertise the board broadly (or narrowly). We want quality of content, not quantity, and we do not run a single advertisement, nor make a single cent profit from any poster. The site is entirely privately funded by the founder, and has never accepted a donation nor solicited support of any kind. If one is a phillies fan (or likes to discuss politics or philosophy), sure, we'd love to have you come by occasionally. My feeling still is that SOSH, though a bit more prominent nationally, is a perfect precedent for this decision (wiki mgmt may not know that this board was notable in the fight by private fan boards to stop MLB from shutting down private fan sites, was written up in the Phila. Inquirer for this, and participated materially in getting the Phils to acknowledge (again with help from the Inky) that they had mis-measured the dimensions of Citizen Bank Park, and was active in helping to apprehend and convict a noted internet criminal). Regarding the use of stats on the board and making baseball "dry"--that's a joke. We just want people who make assertions ("Bobby Abreu stinks") to support their position with some reasoned arguments, which, in baseball, often leads to the use of stats. The part of the stats FAQ posted in the article is an attempt to HELP users unfamiliar with sabermetric stats decipher posts from users who employ them, nothing more. --phillychuck again
Delete. nn website. Now I feel better. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:08, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

As such, there is no consensus on whether this article should be kept or deleted. Nor do I think that the situation has been sufficiently explained.

- Precedents. Sarcelles has previously created 4 similar articles: Changchun Public Security Bureau, Tangshan Public Security Bureau, Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau, Lu'an Public Security Bureau. None of those survived VfD, because they were deemed non-notable and POV. It makes little sense for this to be kept.
- POV. Sarcelles has a history of starting purely POV articles for the sake of pushing his agenda. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chinese cities for a detailed account of his actions starting from mid-May. Three Wikipedians (User:Abstrakt, User:Miborovsky, and I) are currently considering an RfC or even RfA against him if the situation does not improve quickly, because we are sick and tired of chasing after literally hundreds of his edits, de-POVizing when we can and VfD'ing when his creations are unsalvageable. This article is an example of that.
- Non-notable. There are 300+ prefectures or equivalents in China, Bengbu being one of them. Bengbu itself is an unremarkable city in Anhui province. Its public security bureau is, in turn, one of dozens of bureaus in its bureaucracy. There is absolutely nothing sufficiently remarkable about it to warrant an article at this point in time. The same goes for the other 4 articles that were already deleted.
- Delete - I saw Sarcelles Falun Gong pushing articles earlier. Should be deleted. It's not like its as notable as a primary school is it? Maybe it should be in mentioned or listified in some sort of Police Hierarchy in China article - Hahnchen 02:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. nonnotable. mikka (t) 03:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Should be merged into a bigger article until it needs breaking out, but none of the reasons given here for not even mentioning it is actually compelling. Number of entities is absolutely not a good criterion for deletion. There are how many species on this planet? Grace Note 05:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Where should this article be merged to? Which sentence of this article, except the last one, even provides unique and encyclopedic information? The police department of Bengbu is located in Bengbu, and is in charge of the polic there... and it has detention centers! The last sentence is unique and encyclopedic, but there's already an article on the dissident; we don't need a 2nd article just to say who detained him.
- As such, there isn't even anything here to merge into any other articles. This article should be deleted outright. -- ran (talk) 05:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Honestly there is little information other than the location and that it is a government office handling policing. Until I can see a better reason for keeping this article, my vote is unchanged. Delete Abstrakt
- Keep, since we can say something specific about this particular PSB. Anyone researching it would not appreciate being redirected to Zhang Lin. Kappa 06:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- I could also say something about my neighbourhood police kiosk, how it arrested 2 students for drinking and driving... Notable? I think not. The chance of someone researching is, as much as the chance that someone would be researching the above-stated kiosk. --Miborovsky 07:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think a prefecture branch of the PSB bears any comparison to a local police kiosk, nor does arresting an internationally known dissent compare with arresting students for drinking and driving. Kappa
-
- Well how an internationally known athlete? How about I start an article on the police station whose officers arrested Micheal Phelps for drunk driving?
- If you are an expert than feel free to give us tips on how to expand. Like ran and Mib have already pointed out, there isn't anything else in this article to expand upon. And I'm opposed to the idea of merging this information into the Bengbu article because that would be doing what Sarcelles once did, and that was making assinine edits on Chinese city article to make the main focus about prisons and police. Abstrakt 14:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Anyone researching it would not appreciate being redirected to Zhang Lin. — Then this researcher would find out absolutely no new info about the Bengbu PSB from this article.
- Look, if you guys want to start a WikiProject to describe every single bureau of every single prefecture and county in China (~50 x ~5000 = 250000 new articles), then please go ahead. If I can start, say, Hulan County Forestry Department or Haidong Prefecture Education Bureau, and write a useless subsubstub article that goes "The Haidong Prefecture Education Bureau is located in Haidong, Qinghai, and is in charge of education there. [end]", and get away with it, then please keep this article too. But until you decide to do that, this article should be deleted. Unless, of course, if you support Sarcelles' agenda of POV-pushing that he has engaged in for over four months. -- ran (talk) 17:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- How is the Bengbu PSB more notable than the dozens of other bureaus at the same level run by the government of Bengbu?

[edit] Pump It
Apparently a charting album track from the Black Eyed Peas. Fails to establish notability (a record being a charting single does not make it inherently notable, especially since it was not a hit.

Keep It's notable to note singles which were available to chart without promotion. OmegaWikipedia 03:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- No, it's not. Thousands of songs have charted; that does not make them inherently notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia as spereate articles. Not even the All Music Guide does that. Besides, the record charted far below number forty: are you saying that every song by every artist that ever charted deserves an article for that reason and that reason alone? Such a suggestion would be highly irrational. The article is all of about four sentence, merge it in bulk to the article on the album and discuss the fact taht the album track charted there. I'm sure the album article isn't nearly long enough to prevent such an addition.--FuriousFreddy 03:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thousands of songs chart each day? Um, no they don't Freddy. The Billboard Hot 100 is only made out of 100 positions. Most of the songs that chart have been promoted. It's rare to find songs that dont chart break in. Please stop twisting the facts. OmegaWikipedia 04:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- That isn't quite how I meant to word that, and I apoligize (and edited). Reworded, it makes sense. Fact of the matter is: every charting Hot 100 song is not deserving of an article, and just because a song is promoted does not make it notable. --FuriousFreddy 04:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

For one thing, this song was fairly successful, and is from a major album by a major artist. If it was a garage-band CD-R passed around by some kid in high school, my vote would obviously be different. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- The article is all of a few sentences long, and would fit very neatly into the album article, which is also (lists aside) very short. --FuriousFreddy 21:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I would say keep, except there's not enough there worth keeping (yet?). So merge unless/until a lot more information makes it worth it to have its own article. I do not, however, agree that being a single is not enough to establish notability. --Jacquelyn Marie 22:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- There are far too many singles for each one to be notable just because it is a single. What can be said about most songs other than providing catalogue information on release dates, chart performances, and recording studio anecdotes. A single, something that is inherently trivial in the grand scope of an encyclopedia, needs to have some sort of importance or impact other than its general existence and chart performance to warrant having its own article. --FuriousFreddy 01:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I can concede some of the arguments you list, but I still think a charting single would be notable because enough people noticed it for it to chart. --Jacquelyn Marie 03:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- ...but when an article on a song reads simply like a catalogue listing (name, release date, label, sales, chart performance) is there a reason for a seperate article? Even an article with an expanded version of this inforamton is arbitrary. Articles are required to establish notability; saying that every charting single should be listed is like saying every book that charted on the Amazon sales list needs an article as well. --FuriousFreddy 04:29, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- ...whole point of Wikipedia is to have others add stuff to it, to make it more than a catalogue, no? And... all encyclopedias are arbitrary. They often don't contain information I think is important. (They may include things you don't think are important, or not include things you think are important.) Physical ones are limited by paper. Wikipedia is not. --Jacquelyn Marie 18:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- But Wikipedia articles should only be on notable sunjects. What makes this song more notable than your average song. Thousands of songs have reached the Top 100, and the very idea that they all deserve articles for that reason is absolutely ridiculous. This project is going to de-evolve into a fan-gushing vehicle with no semblance of credibility as a scholalry reference. --FuriousFreddy 20:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, this is a notable track as it charted on the Hot 100. Even though you personally may not find it notable, many other people would. I think the fact that a song charted or was released makes it notable enough to have its own article. This is not just an article about some random track but one by a very popular group from one of the best selling albums of 2005 which received decent play at different radio formats and at clubs. The song was also featured in a very popular TV commercial. --Musicpvm 03:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Millions (or atl east hundreds of thosuands) of songs have been charted and/or relased over the years in various countries. There needs to be more discernemnt than that. I dont nominate articles for deletion because I personally do not find them notable; I do it when I find articles that do not meet the Wikipedia standards for notability.

Non-notable band. Fails WP:MUSIC on most counts.

- Has never been on a major tour
- Has not released two or more albums on other than self-label
- Not listed on allmusic.com
- No members famous from other notable groups
- Has won no major music awards
And finally, the band has split up and no longer exists. ♠DanMS 03:54, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep Point 2 of WP:MUSIC states "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in a large or medium-sized country" not as it has been misquoted by the nominator, a "major tour" Evidence of tours: http://www.toxicpete.co.uk/tmorl.html http://www.indigoflow.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48 Therefore they have toured the UK, meet point 2 and are notable. There is no shortage of online journalism about this band. Also, besides your stating that the band no longer exists being factually incorrect, since when was that a criterion for deletion? Stephen 12:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep As SilhouetteSaloon said they have been on a national tour of the country playing noted venues such as the London Astoria. They have released one album and three Eps on UNDERGROOVE records which is not a self run label it a MAJOR label currently holding contracts for bands such as Alexisonfire and Johnny Truant http://www.undergroove.co.uk. As to point 4 "not Listed on All Music.com" All Music has a reasonably pathetic database of English rock music, providing little to no information on major bands such as Million Dead which are given nothing except the genre "Rock" and a picture of their first album. Further proof of their mainstream existance can be found in the fact that their album is available from Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000E6RR5/qid%3D1128090115/202-4739900-3915855
TO address your final point "The band has split up and no longer exists" the band are actually still in existance working to get their final album done (which also, by the way, invalidates Point 3 of your argument), the band are not necessarily splitting up but inner turmoil may lead to line-up changes and FURTHERMORE there are numerous bands who have split up on Wikipedia, yet that doesnt make it a valid reason for removing their Wikipedia page. Wikipedia is a resource for people to find information and there is little to no point in making unnecessary deletions such as deleting this when there are editorials on the make up of the turd the author took yesterday hovering around wikipedia. Your time is better spent being a busy body on the really unnecessary wikipedia pages.WFCO 15:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Hmmm.. no need to be unpleasant. Surely the point about the band splitting up is a fair one in as much as were the vote to be borderline, the fact that they had split up would probably tilt the vote against keeping the article. (Not by virtue of the fact that they had split up - as you rightly say, many bands have split up but are still included - but by virtue of the fact that in splitting up they would be unlikely to become more notable). Marcus22 13:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The first source given did not talk about a tour, it said they were playing gigs. This is not the same thing. The second one mentioned "a short 5-date tour" with 2 other bands, it's not clear who the headliner was. I'm thinking they don't meet WP:MUSIC, but the apparent existance of a record makes me wonder. Friday (talk) 14:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Your differentiation between playing lots of gigs over a short period of time and and touring sounds to me like big business promotional rhetoric. And there's nothing 'apparent' about the existence of recorded output Stephen 16:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- My comment was not intended that way at all. I'm an independant musician myself, and my band plays gigs, but we do not "tour". I'm all in favor of music being made outside of "big business". Unfortunately, I think the tone of this discussion has gotten unneccessarily combative. Remember, we all want to do what's right for Wikipedia. Sometimes we have different opinions. Friday (talk) 16:09, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm afraid I agree with Friday's interpretation of the 'tour' — it just wasn't, I'm afraid. Releasing EPs doesn't really make the grade unless they significantly chart, and WP:MUSIC wants two albums. However, having split up is irrelevant. -Splashtalk 21:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, per media coverage. WP:MUSIC only demanded ONE requirement to be passed, last time I looked. Kappa 23:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Point 4 requires Major media coverage, it does not require it to be specifically All music.com and I've found an issue of Rock Sound in which they feature http://www.rock-sound.net/current_issue.php?issue_id=55 Do a word search you'll find them there which, i think, is enough to keep them on Wikipedia.

I thought is would be easier for a user to go directly to the information via the weblink and not post all the content explanation and additional resources in the article. If all the materials need to be included here, I will reformat the materials to accomplish this. I am also open to having the links added to a resource site. The object of the development of these materials is to have everyone that is in electronics using them when they are needed. Please advise me on what would be the best way to present this information and not have it look like spam or an advertizement. It was not intended to be offensive but only a new resource to be used. --Tom 15:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- This particular article seems to promote one particular course from this company. I would suggest an article on WorkReady Electronics (website), from which you got this information. You could describe the history and purpose of the company and some of the types of courses that they offer. The article must not sound like a promotion for the company, but a description of the company and its importance in the field of occupational education. If the company is at all notable or has an established reputation in occupational training, then the article would likely be worth keeping. ♠DanMS 01:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] S.U.C.K.S.
Non-verifiable "secret" society, probably hoax Cnwb 05:54, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a club that has been in existence for some time. I am personal friends of many members, and the society serves primarily as a social group, though their networking and significant influence is well known. There are various items of clothing that are available for members, who suprisingly for a secret society, are happy to wear them around the university. I think photographs of the apparel would certainly lend to this group's credibility.
- Both Billy McMahon and Whitlam resided at St._Paul's_College,_Sydney and I'm sure some mention could be found of this in the media.

- Delete unless it can be verified. — JIP | Talk 12:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I can at least verify that some of the claims of this article are true. Whilst the Skull and Bones links are probably bordering on impossible to prove and tenuous at best, I can attest that the Phantom, St Paul's College and University of Sydney links are irrefutible. Whilst I didn't attend St Paul's College, rather St Andrew's College, I do know that most of the things argued in this article are true. I also know that the society is not as secret as they make out. The Rock is an actual place next to a public thoroughfare within the grounds of the college. This article, whilst possibly a vanity piece, does have some truth. Perhaps we should give them an opportunity to introduce some more facts and remove some of the more tenuous claims. I know of at least one Australian CEO who was a President of this society. 138.130.23.157 14:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC). I don't care if the article gets dumped, but the facts, although I hate to admit it, are mostly true, barring what I mentioned previously about Skull and Bones
- Personal testimony isn't what we mean by verifiability. We need to have an outside reference, preferably a print reference although a website will do, that is one which readers will acknowledge as reliable; the contents of which can be inspected; and which confirms the claims. A newspaper article would do, or a reference in a book, or a university's official website, or something like that. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep I was surprised to come across mention of SUCKS here as I wasn't certain of the existence of the organisation, however mere mention of the society here has verified many specific details that I had already heard elsewhere in the past about the body. While not connected to Sydney University in any way (I am, in fact, based in the United States), I first heard mention of the organisation a few years ago in conversation with an Australian stockbroker in his sixties. What I can tell you is that the society certainly is real, as regular contact with this financier and some of his associates subsequently confirmed. These are reputable individuals who are discreet and well-respected, and it is erroneous to suggest they'd be making this all up (and I can't see them as the kind of folks who'd be authoring a piece on Wiki!!). That said, I'll concede that you are always going to have trouble verifying the existence of something that, at least to my knowledge, has not received media coverage and attempts to remain under the radar. The page would, however, be of interest to members as well as those curious of the existence of such societies so I believe there is merit in allowing the page to be saved from deletion as, especially given the subject matter, it is likely to receive more expansive and in depth additions once it has become available for broader viewing. That something like the Men In Black conspiracy theory which is equally unverifiable as an event of fact appears on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_conspiracy_theory) provides equal justification for inclusion of information about something also speculative, that being S.U.C.K.S. I suggest it is given time to flourish.

- "mere mention of the society here has verified many specific details that I had already heard elsewhere" - Mere mention doesn't verify anything, and neither does hearsay, even from people who aren't "the kind of folks who'd be authoring a piece on Wiki" (whatever that means).

- Keep. Bankers in their 60's are unlikely to be spending time on the net working on a piece about their secret society... and none of what was on the site read like something written by well-educated bankers (i.e it was riddled with spelling errors until I cleaned it up). If I'm to make a fair assumption that they haven't written this, then someone else presumably also knows about this society. I raised the appearance of this page with my Australian contact this evening and while he sounded a little perturbed about the existence of the information he offered that the best he could do would be to contribute a photo of one of the group's items of clothing bearing the society's logo for page verification. Might this serve to satisfy some of those eager for more proof of the body's existence?

- Keep Mahogany and "Do You Know Where You're Going To" need to be seperate articles. One is about a movie, another one is about a #1 single. Surely, the articles for Titanic and My Heart Will Go On do not get merged as one article. OmegaWikipedia 12:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- The single is the theme song to a movie. Are we going to have seperate articles on every Disney song from every Disney movie? --FuriousFreddy 21:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Why not? Wiki is not paper. I personally think that merging would create bloat and that redirecting would be a nonsense reply to the problem that doesn't really solve anything. Keep. --Jacquelyn Marie 22:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- The single is the theme song to a movie. Are we going to have seperate articles on every Disney song from every Disney movie? --FuriousFreddy 21:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per OmegaWikipedia. Theme from Mahogany is an independently notable song as witnessed by the huge number of cover versions over the years (including at least one that was made its own article, albeit AFD'd), and Diana Ross' version is the preeminent recording of this song. If the material in the article is too much a carbon copy of the movie article, then be bold and rewrite it. 23skidoo 14:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- When it gets rewritten, it can be kept. I don't have any information o nteh record beyond basics, nor do I have the time to go out of my way to research it. And I've never heard of a single cover of the song notable enough for its own article. If someone can write an article with information that is not redundant with an article on the movie, then do so. However, as it stands now, the article should be redirected. --FuriousFreddy 21:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Isn't the whole point of wikipedia to let the article stay and have people who do have the information make it better?

- Keep - The song is enough of a distinct entity from the movie to have its own article. I was a teenager in the 70's and listened to a lot of pop radio.

Having grown up in "The Lake", I am very aware of a very distinct set of words used exclusively there. Whether this qualifies as a "language", a "dialect", an "ideolect" or just an interesting vocabulary is not for me to decide. I can only say that this might be linguistically interesting. I have found only few brief references online so far refering to it. For now, I vote to keep it.

[edit] Otherkin
This is an obscure topic, as discussed in WP:V. To quote that section, Subjects which have never been written about in published sources, or which have only been written about in sources of doubtful credibility should not be included in Wikipedia. One of the reasons for this policy is the difficulty of verifying the information. As there are no reputable sources available, it would require original research, and Wikipedia is not a place to publish original research. Insistence on verifiability is often sufficient to exclude such articles.
The sources here are various websites of dubious credibility. I think Otherkin would be a great topic for a Wikinfo article, but I don't see enough verifiability for this to be included here. Friday (talk) 14:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
No vote(changed to keep, below). I'm confused. Doesn't a website count as a published source? There's no rule saying we have to use scholarly sources. ~~ N (t/c) 14:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)- That's not what the nominator said. The article's sources are websites of dubious credibility, and the article seems to be built up from a lot of first-person stories on the Web. The veracity of those primary sources cannot be verified by Wikipedia readers, who are thus required to take the article on faith. Wikipedia needs to report the results of other people who have studied otherkin; right now, this article collects the experiences of otherkin, which makes it original sociological research. WP:NOR notes that it is rare for an article to be built from primary sources alone, especially if it is a contested topic. Ideally the article would be severely stubified but given its history I don't think the regular authors would be willing to do so, so delete to send the NOR message, and possibly write a new stub based on secondary sources until more can be found to expand the article reliably. I'd consider changing my vote if the article is cleaned up to not take primary sources at face value. — mendel ☎ 14:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- I can't imagine how deleting an article could not send a message, unless the contributors are known to have left Wikipedia. The message is "Do not put this sort of thing in Wikipedia". Sometimes the message is even made explicit with the "This article is deleted, please don't recreate it" template that I can't find right now. — mendel ☎ 23:52, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- The issue is not that deleting it will not send a message, but that it is not the appropriate way to send the desired message. It seems kind of agreed upon that otherkin is a real topic, just that there is the issue of getting proper sources and an article that reflects those sources. So wouldn’t deleting the article and putting up a warning to not recreate it be effectively hiding from the issue instead of trying to fix the issue itself? And if you intend to replace the article with something else, then I don’t see the point of deleting the article instead of normal editing. AtomicDragon 00:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

- A sociological truth is one that we need a sociologist to declare before we can acknowledge it as a truth. =P You seem to be working so hard to make sure the Wikipedia-specific definitions are remembered you're forgetting the functions they were intended to serve; we follow the "no original research" policy not as an end in itself, but to keep Wikipedia free of crackpots and cranks who want Wikipedia to publicize their pet theories. To say that people are not credible sources for statements about what their own beliefs are and that we must wait until a "reputable publication" has covered them and then take that publication's word over the word of those they're reporting on just shows the hazards of taking any policy and following it too literally too long. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- WP:NOR says: "In some cases, where an article (1) makes descriptive claims that are easily verifiable by any reasonable adult, and (2) makes no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, or evaluative claims, a Wikipedia article may be based entirely on primary sources (examples would include apple pie or current events)". This seems to fit that description - "Otherkin say A, B, and C; people say X and Y about otherkin". Keep. ~~ N (t/c) 02:29, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Young Earth creationism isn't credible (to me) either, but clearly it's appropriate to have an article on it. If this article used reputable sources, I would have no issue with it. Some websites are reputable sources, some are not. Anyone can have a website and claim whatever they want. I invite anyone who's interested to read the websites listed as sources.

- Keep If you go to the Talk:Otherkin/Archive 3 you'll find quite a few published sources. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup -- There are core facts that are easily verifiable here: a number of people consider themselves to be otherkin, the exact specifics of which change depending upon who you talk to. The only parts that are unverifiable are whether what these people claim to be true is actually true (though common sense should tell us otherwise). The fact that these claims are made is undeniable, well-documented, and widespread. I severely question the rationale in interpreting the Wikipedia:No original research policy in such an exaggerated way. If we keep things down to object facts and avoid the weirdness we get periodically where certain editors claim it's real, that certain otherkin are better than others, that they are psychic and reinarnated and have animal DNA and yada yada yada as if they were proven, then there is no problem. Documenting nutty fringe beliefs is quite verifiable, as this particular one is not so small that there's any problems involved on that end, assuming we can get past the people constantly inserting their own POV and making false claims that rewriting for NPOV is "disrespectful" shos "bad faith" and whatever other nonsense they come up with. DreamGuy 20:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I've never heard the term Otherkin before, but conceptually I will agree that as a sub-culture these people do exist... albeit in small numbers. I used to work night stock at a grocery store and the "vampires" would come in occasionally around 3 am. I guess blood goes down easier with an EZ-Cheez chaser. No vote yet though...

- Keep and clean up. The dubious sources are not being cited for their dubious veracity, but as products of a subculture. There's a significannt, if fringe, subculture of people who think they are elves or vampires or whatnot, and the existance of a market in books and such about and being sold to such people is evidence that such a subculture exists. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 01:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. The main problem with the article (not just this version, but anything about the topic) is that it needs, perforce, to lump together a very broad spectrum of beliefs, ranging from simple alternate spirituality to pseudoscience to outright lunacy. So some of it is verifiable as much as anything in the realm of religion, spirituality, or philosophy; while other parts are very difficult to source reliably or at all. But it is worth keeping as, at least, a verifiably notable phenomenon (although until reading the article I had never actually heard the term "otherkin", even though instantiations of the belief system had been related to me).

- Comment: There may be little point in commenting further, but I still want to clarify. Of course there are lots of them; what does that have to do with anything? I know there are also lots of people who, for example, like to eat jello. However, if someone wrote an article describing these folks and giving information about them, I'd want verifiability there also. There is a difference between what exists and what's verifiable. In theory, WP is meant to include only things that are verifiable. Friday (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- Same old Communists vs. people with red hair distinction. Self-described "otherkin" have a shared culture and influence each other (unless you want to get anal about whether there's a larger "otherkin" culture or if it's a series of distinct, discrete subcultures, but then you're into content issues and not whether or not this article should be deleted), instead of just having a shared attribute (a belief/delusion, depending on your POV). - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 15:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- As for the content question of one subculture v multiple, that's a good, valid question. I'd be tempted to consider the spiritual side of the Otherkin movement to be a subset of modern shamanism. The problem with these kinds of content questions is, there has been no way to resolve them. With no proper sources, it's just up to editor's opinions. Thus, this article functions as a magnet for original research. We haven't even been able to resolve fundamental questions, such whether "Otherkin" is the proper blanket term for things like "Vampyres", "Dragons", "Elves", and "Therianthropes". When the Otherkin community has a variety of different definitions and beliefs, there's little hope of consensus on this article. Friday (talk) 17:36, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- By itself, the number of othrekin means little, but combine with their self-describing nature yields a lot of material written on the group from within. Many attempt to describe the group as a whole, noting various observations. To me, that seems to be the point most of the original research is being done, even though WP has to attempt to combine information from several such sources (doesn’t this happen, to some degree, for most subjects?). Looking at the bigger picture, in my opinion, an article on this would add to WP’s encyclopedic value, as many people do stumble upon it and can benefit by seeing a general overview of the subject that is confirmable at the basic level in various otherkin sources. The details are much harder to work out, and as MCB already mentioned, such a diverse group is very hard to talk about as a whole, but that is a matter of cleaning up and not deletion in my opinion. I may be misinterpreting policy though, so I’ll only comment instead of vote for now. AtomicDragon 17:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. This entire nomination seems to me to be a complete misunderstanding that we only demand verification, and bar original research, to the degree that a claim is questionable. To delete this article implies that we cannot verify any of the claims contained therein, not even "people who describe themselves as Otherkin exist"; to say that we cannot verify that, despite being able to go to hundreds of websites where people are describing themselves as Otherkin, because we cannot quote some professional source who has also read the websites affirming that yes, Otherkin exist -- if the nominator didn't appear to be entirely serious I would suspect an attempt at reductio ad absurdam. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:38, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I think it's rather clear from even a casual reading that the WP:NOR rule exists for preventing wikipedia from becoming a platform for cranks or pet theories; the Otherkin article is neither. Otherwise the article describing Brights would need to be deleted as well: it also explains the nature of a term used by a group to describe itself, and from primary sources at that. I'm sure it wouldn't take much effort to find other examples. Coren 21:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- Please remember civility, Agriculture, and stop making personal attacks. Neither your original argument nor your subsequent argument hold up. Your first argument was 'no reputable source will ever say "Yes, what Otherkin claim about themselves is true"; therefore, we must delete this article as unverifiable.' The enthymeme there is "all articles about Otherkin must describe their claims as truth, rather than as their claims." This is not the case. Your subsequent argument is that "POV pushers will always prevent the article from being maintained in an NPOV state." The number of articles that are actually worth deleting simply because we cannot come to agreement on them is minimal. Since you yourself have only edited Otherkin twice and one of those edits was simply to place three cleanup tags on it at once, I question whether you have sufficient knowledge of what happens when you try NPOVing the article to declare that it could never possibly work. By the way, speaking of verifiability, would you mind giving us details on the University of Minnesota study you refer to in this edit? Since much of the discussion here has been made under the assumption that no professional study of those who believe themselves "otherkin" has been made, and since your edit (which I'm sure you marked 'minor' by accident) contradicts that, I'm sure providing details would be appreciated. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:38, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: I think an important distinction was made: scholarly treatment of Otherkin is NOT going to amount to a scientific effort to prove or disprove their beliefs. That would just be silly. Christianity (or any major religion) is obviously verifiable as a belief system without needing to prove or disprove their beliefs.

Stong Keep But Clean Up For many, this is a spiritual path. No religion on the planet is independantly verifiable and yet there's nothing wrong with providing a basic set of information on what it's follower's believe. Writing a book on the subject doesn't make it true, it just makes it published. There are significant and serious sites which address the subject which act in the same manner of highlighting and defining the term. It doesn't matter if you share the belief or not. What wiki is supposed to be about is giving information on a variety of subjects. Why is otherkin not a valid subject to give information on? One need not share it's view to still acknowledge it is a valid viewpoint/belief/path for some people. It is, therefore, it should be discussed. You can't simply remove something because you don't believe it personally.

- To the author: Please don't be offended in any way by the deletion nomination. This is not intended as a judgement on the band. I'm sure they're quite good. The problem is, Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, so many of us have high expectations of what goes in the main "article space". While many editors may be of the opinion that GO isn't "significant" enough to be included, there's actually an even bigger problem: Nothing in the article is verifiable. If you can show us that the music media is talking about this band, that would make them verifiable. If they're not yet to the point where they're getting that kind of coverage, there's really no way for them to go in an encyclopedia. WP does not allow what we call original research. That means your own experiences are not considered appropriate for inclusion. If you were to go review a show and interview the band for example, WP would not be an appropriate place to publish that work. I hope you understand, nobody's trying to say that the band (or your article) is bad. We're just saying WP isn't the right place for it. Friday (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I belive this is enough to varify them as a music influence to some degree. Also, the research was done from the bands website (2nd redirect in article).This proves this it was not, how you say, "original research" as i was not involved with the original research.
- Note: I am the 13yr old author of this article. I would like to say that I am in no way affiliated with the band in question. They have no idea this artile was writen, so the accusation of "vanity" is not true. Thankyou. !Please Keep This Article!

- Hello. I just wrote this page and did not know it should include the ISBN. The Hungry Man: ISBN 9789743452116; There You Go! ISBN 9789749286302. I think both books are published in Thailand by Hungry Man Books (?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.232.8.1 (talk • contribs) 10:23 ET, 30 September 2005
- Keep The book is self published, but it seems that the author is known in the international aid community, aand so is the book to soem extent. I ahve added proper links to two online reveiws, and the ISBN to the article. DES (talk) 16:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. A Google search for '"The Hungry Man" "Oren Ginzburg"' comes up with four hits for this self-published book. Not even sold at amazon, which generally sells self-published books. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:26, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I take a very inclusive line on books so long as they are not self-published. In part, this is because I have "psychic" relatives who regularly self-publish absurd predictions, so I am familiar with the range of kooks who will pay for the "honor" of disseminating ideas this way. Basically, if you self-publish (at least after 1950), I assume that your ideas were denied a label for a reason. The four google hits, in this instance, support my assumption.

Weak Keep. He appears to be an NCAA basketball player, that seems like borderline notoriety. - CHAIRBOY(☎) 16:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC) Now Delete per Barno, good points, I change my mind. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 03:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)- Weak keep unless there is a precedent for deleting articles about NCAA players. Hall Monitor 18:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no indication of encyclopedic importance. At WP:BIO, the guideline for inclusion of athletes requires something like being outstanding, not just participating. There's no consensus about whether a routine professional player (as compared to an All-Star, All-Pro, league Most Valuable Player, etc.) should be kept. In general, one of the thousands of college basketball players is not notable, unless thousands of non-basketball-fans have heard of him. Article doesn't suggest anything close to meeting WP:Importance. Barno 20:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- I would note that WP:Importance doesn't require that non-fans have heard of him, only that "it is at least well-known in a community." While this individual may not be well-known on his own merits, I think that keeping his article because of his relationship with the University of Cincinnati is akin to keeping the article for a single episode or season of a television show because of their relationships with the overall program. ESkog 21:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- An interesting test of consensus. I would also go keep for members of major NCAA Division I sports teams. The University of Cincinnati is in the Big East conference and receives perennial national attention - this is a topic that many may look up, and it's verifiable. We don't require that thousands of non-Pokemon fans have heard of Snorloridiculomagon III or whoever. ESkog 21:33, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Keep, professional athlete. Kappa 23:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)- Delete as per Barno, he's not even in the NBA. He can be added later when he at least turns pro. -- Kjkolb 02:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

- Wikisource has a whole repository of source code at Wikisource:Wikisource:Source code. See Flood fill example in C (AfD discussion) for what happened to an article similar to this. Uncle G 16:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Wikisource has a repository of noteworthy source code, as I understand it, which can be used in Wikimedia projects to illustrate something important to that subject as a somewhat authoritative reference. I agree that an example of flood-fill code in such a common language is useful for an article on flood fill as a (minor) data processing technique. I don't think I agree that a bunch of mini-programs to count down "99 bottles of beer on the wall" in various programming languages provides any useful illustration of any important concept. (If comparison of simple looping structures were critical to an article, I'd change my mind.) But I see this as a collection of minutiae, related only by a trvial detail, that probably won't help Wikisource support WP or a related reference. I didn't mean to suggest that no source code should be in Wikisource. Barno 18:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The "what links here" function reports only the 99 Bottles of Beer page, the "see also" section of the similar (but at least expanded with some quasi-history) Hello world program page, and non-articles such as user pages and this AfD. If this page gave real context to a discussion in some other page about programming techniques, I'd be more inclined to see it as belonging here or at least in Wikisource.

I don't believe this constitutes a copyvio either - most of these programs are so generic that they could not be considered copyrightable, and this article does not bear any resemblance to the site which it is claimed is being violated.

- I have listned, but I disagree on companies. Too hard to tell notable from non for a safe speedy criterion, IMO. DES (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Eh, I meant "enough people will listen to change something", not that nobody noticed. ;) One question for you, though: how is it harder/easier than with people, where the criterion is whether it has an assertion of notability? -- SCZenz 22:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Fair enough. We could impose that rule on coompanies. Except that most of even the spammiest company articles include statemetns that are at least arguably claims of notability. People become notabel through specific achievments, which arfe likely to be mentioned in any decent articel about an actually notable person. But companies are often notable as much for size and market presence as anything else, and IMO the presence or absnece of an assertion is noit a useful guide. The real question for a speedy criterion, IMO is "what obvious cahracteristic can we poitn to, that can be determined quickly by a single person, that will pretty much always identify an articel that ought to be deleted". If you think otherwise why not create Wikipedia:Proposal for speedy deletion of non-notable company articles or the like. i'll be happy to coem there and joint the discussion, and to call other people's attention to it. Look at the way the "Blatent copyvio" proposal was handled, and how it is going forward. DES (talk) 22:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vinkadecimal
Dictdef for a neologism, coined by the author of the referenced computer program after himself. Could not find any uses outside of the context of the program. Ilmari Karonen 19:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- comment. Vink has not invented the system "base 36". At best, he has invented the name "vinkadecimal". All n-ary systems (for any n>1) can be considered "known". --Aleph4 15:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, of course. Base 36 (using 0-9, A-Z) is a common enough system, it's the silly vanity name I'm referring to. There's not much in the article that would be worth moving to generic base 36 article, so I suggest it just be deleted. Ilmari Karonen 17:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- The proper name for this system would be sexatrigesimal, hexatrigesimal or hexatridecimal, depending on which mixture of Greek/Latin roots one wants to use. All get about the same number of Google hits. (See hexadecimal for more information about the Greek/Latin naming confusion.) Ilmari Karonen 17:23, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

- Because despite its being created in July 2003 (and so more than two years for growth already) and having had the gentle ministrations of no less than eleven editors, it still has only one more competition than what it began with. Its edits have been almost entirely housekeeping edits, and for all intents and purposes, its content has remained unchanged since the Decathlon was added. Even being placed on AfD, which is often a kiss of life for weak articles, seems to have done it no good.

- Because despite its being created in July 2003 (and so more than two years for growth already) and having had the gentle ministrations of no less than eleven editors, it still has only one more competition than what it began with. Its edits have been almost entirely housekeeping edits, and for all intents and purposes, its content has remained unchanged since the Decathlon was added.

[edit] List of case sensitive English words
This list seems to be a blatant violation of Wikipedia Is Not A Dictionary. No encyclopedic content. Delete. Angr/tɔk tə mi 21:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete Might be encyclopedic if a discussion on how different words come to have the same or simialr spellings, and the list was used asn an illustration, or even if some analysis if the included words and their sources was presnet. (Besides several of the entries are currently incorrect: for example "see" in the sense of the seat of a Bishop's authority is capitalized only when part of a specific proper name, when discussed in general it is not.) DES (talk) 21:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Now I improved the intro. BTW, Holy See and similar are not proper names, as they can be precedeed by an uncapitalized article (i.e. "the Holy See"). Proper names are never precedeed by an article, unless the article is part of the name, in which case the article would be capitalized too. (E.g. A Clockwork Orange or The Cure.) --Army1987 17:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- keep interesting and maintainable. I don't understand the invocation of WP:WINAD, since it's hard to imagine a dictionary having such a list in it.

- Keep:Yes, this page wouldn't normally be in an encyclopedia (apart from it being a list), but I feel that it has been on this website long enough that it still deserves a place here (just to let you know where here is). Also, if you delete this list, all the other song lists are going to get deleted too. I don't think that should happen not only because I think they're interesting, but also because someone might need them for something. I know that I needed the List of protest songs page for a High School English project. So I feel that this page should be kept. RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 22:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Move: I've noticed these pages popping up too and I found out where they're comming from. These articles all talk about a particular campsite at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. The reason why they are all popping up is that the Philmont article has a link created for each campsite. It seems to me that these articles are notable for anyone looking at the Philmont page, but are not very notable to Wikipedia as a whole. I proposed in the discussion page that these articles be moved into subpages under the main Philmont article (If you want to debate this issue, go to the discussion page). If that doesn't work, we could at least set up a Philont category and list all the campsites there. Solarusdude 22:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. I went to Philmont so I may be biased but these should be kept. Here's why: more than 700,000 Scouts and leaders have backpacked through Philmont since 1938. These camps are familar to many people. With some additional work, the articles could be useful. I tried merging them into a Camps of Philmont article but if quality information is added to each subheading, that article will be enormous. The information could be valuable but the only way to share it is to keep all the individual articles.--L1AM 10:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, well known prank. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 00:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete hoary old prank. No expandability. -- Grev -- Talk 01:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. That particular meme isn't endemic around here, and I find it rather perplexing. An explanation of how it came to be and why it persists could be interesting. Ilmari Karonen 01:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Bill Clinton in Beavis and Butthead. -- BD2412 talk 01:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Karl W. Richter
Non notable? Andy Mabbett 14:40, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep with cleanup: going by Google hits, looks reasonably notable. But the fannish tone needs neutralising. Tearlach 12:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Never heard of the fellow myself but there seems to be a goodly amount of unique Google hits on him, not to mention at least one (possibly two?) books have been written about him. Passes the notability bar for me, but needs definitely cleanup and wikifying. 23skidoo 04:08, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. There are only 56 unique Google hits for every single "Karl W. Richter" who has ever existed in the world. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Comment: yes, but only a minority of sites use his middle initial. A Google on "Karl Richter" MiG gets over 2500 hits, mostly about him. Tearlach 12:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
