[edit] Logduz

This is non-notable. There are thousands of small villages in Russia, and most of them are historically or georgaphically insignificant. --GoOdCoNtEnT 23:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete - per nom --GoOdCoNtEnT 23:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Question Why is this deletion proposal in both the August 20th and August 26th lists (and at the top as well)? -- ArglebargleIV 00:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - it was an accident. --GoOdCoNtEnT 00:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Named places, including villages, are normally considered notable. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Physical town, just happens to be in Russia. (There are thousands of small towns in the United States too) Unless reasoning for it being a hoax, I see no reason not to keep it. Kevin_b_er 03:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's notable. If this article were to be deleted, what of articles like Euljiro 3-ga Station? Definitely keep. — † Webdinger BLAH | SZ 03:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment While I agree with keep, notability for subway stations is different than notability for small villages, and thus can't be compared. ColourBurst 05:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Definately notable. Bradcis 04:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep In the small county where I live, even Census Designated Places have their own entries in WP. Why not the rest of the world? Seaphoto 04:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep—What's acceptable for 1st world countries should be acceptable for 2nd world countries. Williamborg (Bill) 04:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - Second world became an outdated term after the fall of the Soviet Union. Now, nations are reffered to as developed and developing. Russia is a developed nation. --GoOdCoNtEnT 05:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, all real places, tiny or huge, are notable. Not only we should include 1st world nations, but even developing and third world nations. That's the beauty of an online encyclopedia. --Terence Ong (T | C) 05:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, advert.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 03:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, poorly written, does not meet WP:CORP and not suitable for Wikipedia. Cedars 04:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete after I tried to put a PROD tag on a recreation of this at a slightly different name only to find that User:Zoe had speedied it before I could even go to let the author know what I was doing. Quick work, that. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Allow me to state the reasons why this article should be deleted.
    Firstly, this company has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself.
    Secondly, this company is not listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications.
    Thirdly, the article is very poorly written as well.

All these reasons stated clearly shows that this article does not meet WP:CORP. --Siva1979Talk to me 05:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BubbleTALK

Contested prod. Bacon, eggs and adspam. Opabinia regalis 00:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. You forgot toast and jam. SynergeticMaggot 00:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. ♥ FaerieInGrey 00:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete — The product/innovation is actually intriguing, yet the article author went about it wrong and has created an adspam. However, BubbleMotion, the company that created this service, might just be able to hold up on its own (barring advertspam) with mention of this in it. Just my $0.02 -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 00:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • "where people can send voice as a message instead of text." Isn't that a phone? Regardless, delete as adspam. It shows scant Google hits anyway, and being innovative is not the same as being notable. Aplomado talk 01:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - the article itself is poorly written, probably by a non-native English speaker, but subject of the article has been written about by a mjor cell phone manufacturer Ercisson and made it on to Engadget with only a little bit of research. -- Whpq 03:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Week Delete - semi-Notable subject, badly written, but not that notable. --andrew 04:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment Please allow me to point out to you that there is no official policy on notability. Please view WP:N. However, I agree with you that this article is badly written. --Siva1979Talk to me 05:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable product, albeit "innovative". It's easier to use than voice mail, and yes, at least one Singaporean cellular service provider provides it as an extra (not sure whether they still do, that was last year when I heard of their launching this service). Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 11:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etagniéres

Hoax I think. More substantiation in the article's talk page. studerby 00:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I can't find anything on Google that speciffically relates to this other than this article. Tarret 00:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and add Comte d'Orange et Etagniéres to the nomination, more of the same hoax from the same author. Fan-1967 00:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if rewritten. The talk page makes it clear that there is a real Etagniéres - as such, that is what this article should be about. Grutness...wha? 00:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I think that the article you are reffering to would be found at Etagnières. Tarret 00:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Whoops - well spotted. I was going by what was written in the talk page and didn't notice the mistake. In that case, a redirect without any merging seems in order. Grutness...wha? 00:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — The only search engine hits for this subject are cyclical to this and the Comte d'Orange et Etagniéres page. Again, as with Comte AfD, unless proper WP:RS can be found, this is not verifiable. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 00:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - no sources provided, and nothing has tuyrned up that appears to meet WP:V -- Whpq 03:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comte d'Orange et Etagniéres

Apparent hoax See the articles talk page for more reasoning. studerby 00:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete For same reasons as in Etagniéres. Tarret 00:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — After reading the talk page and article, I researched the term. There were zero hits across the search engine board. Unless adequate WP:RS are shown, I have to vote delete based on it not being verifiable. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 00:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. per above. Incidentally, Switzerland and the Swiss cantons have always been republics. Consequently, there have never been any "accepted titles of nobility in Switzerland" that I know of, even though the ruling families in some of the ancien régime cantons before the Napoleonic invasion were de facto nobility.

[edit] CANICAS TEQUILA and Canicas

[Check Google hits]; 6 of them, so it's hard to say this is a notable product... this is nonetheless a formatting nightmare, and I was almost about to tag it as nonsense. Delete (|-- UlTiMuS 00:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Identical article under the name of Canicas--Wafulz 01:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    So nominated. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — Searching both for the Beverage Tasting Institute and Canicas yields no results of merit, so I am calling shenanigans of product pushing unless WP:RS can verify medals won and how it is "super premium". -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 01:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The brand is actually "Tequila Canicas" which has an identical article (Canicas). The Institute does exist, but the brand is not notable enough to merit an article anyway- even its own "In the press" section is largely ads and trivial mentions. Also, the Institute's website has no results for both "canica" and "canicas". --Wafulz 01:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Great Kathmandu

Advertisement. Would have WP:PROD'd but this article has a previous AfD closed as delete here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Great Kathmandu. The new article has references and pictures, but I don't think this qualifies as a notable eatery -- Samir धर्म 00:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Nomination withdrawn. Article has expanded and, despite the socks, there is assertion of notability that may be substantiated by more information forthcoming from the original author. I'll work on the article with the original author, and if it's still insufficient, I'll re-nominate -- Samir धर्म 12:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Have to disagree with Samir. It certainly is not an ad. the user who created must think it is important and notable. But to me, an Indian restaurant is non notable. --Ageo020 01:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete still not notable, and fails under WP:CORP and WP:V --Wafulz 01:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • KeepWeak Keep 500 google hits and the newspaper award make a fair (although not great) case for notability. I don't see how it fails WP:V. Weak on the WP:CORP count, but it's not spam. Irongargoyle 01:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment where is the WP:CORP in the article? "Winner of the Observer Reader's best Indian restaurant in the UK 2000" does not qualify as multiple non-trivial works published -- Samir धर्म 01:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment The Observer has been in circulation since 1791 and was the worlds first Sunday Newspaper so I regard its opinions very highly. Recent modifications should bring this articals WP:CORP up to speed. Harbourcoat 03:58, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
        • A readers choice poll in any newspaper does not make a restaurant notable. Wikpedia is not a place for people to advertise restaurants. -- Samir धर्म 05:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, just not notable enough. Aplomado talk 01:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I feel it meets the WP:CORP and WP:V guidelines. I live in didsbury and know of this establishment. I will see if I can dig up some stuff to add to the page. JasonNox 01:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment, first edit ever is to this AfD -- Samir धर्म 01:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I think that it will add some more culture to Wikipedia That cant be a bad thing. Ageo020 you comment about the restaurant is not correct I think it is an Nepalese business. I will wait and see what Jason adds to the artical. SmegTronic 01:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment second edit ever is to this AfD. It must be laundry day -- Samir धर्म 01:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - reader's choice awards are a complete hodgepodge and means very little. Something a bit more substantial than that will be needed. -- Whpq 03:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete... listed on several dining websites and winning a reader's choice award adds up to "so what?" as a majority of restaurants can probably make that claim. No evidence that WP:CORP is met. WP:NOT Zagat's Guide or the Yellow Pages. --Kinu t/c 05:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete i've seen fast food restaurants make flyers more substantial than this article --W guice 16:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The award is from the Observer, a leading national Sunday newspaper in the UK, not a local newspaper different place each week thing. Nuttah68 20:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per Nuttah68. Daniel's page ☎ 01:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It should stay I feel. I would love for JasonNox to add some more information to it Harbourcoat 03:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think it meets WP:CORP and living in didsbury I know how important this establishment is in the North West. Feel some people are on a power trip to shut down anything that is non-conformist to there personal views. The Great Kathmandu is here to stay and I will be adding verious other important articals for my fellow residents of Didsbury and the North West of England. Afterall, wikipedia is international right? MujiKha 19:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment editor's first day and 10th contrib -- Samir धर्म 05:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment There is alot of information about the business on the site now and if you ask most people in the north west about the Great Kathmandu they will tell you of its importance. The detail contained with in is no different to most of the establishments listed on wikipedia and I for one have not heard of some of them either and feel they have less importance then this artical. if you check google the Great Kathmandu has over 900 hits and is one of the first to come up when you type nepalese and Didsbury. The fact that people have logged on just to comment about this deletion shows that they care enough about this artical. I have informed people at the AGM of the Yeti Assoc. The Yeti Assoc is a organisation that tries to promote Nepalese culture in the UK and the world. Expect to see more information added to the artical by its members and suporters. More Nepalese related articals will follow. Harbourcoat 11:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Larry Totter

[Check Google hits]; about 2C, but only maybe 3 are relevant. Non-notable fancruft. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete reads like nonsense. The last line is "Retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox" and if that's true then it's a test page and should have stayed there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not as notable as Barry Trotter or Tanya Grotter. --Ageo020 01:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dumbass productions, Alan Farrey, Dumbass: The Movie

[Check Google hits] about 500. almost all of which are google video/myspace/angelfire/ other nonsense. Delete because it would be impossible to find reliable third-party sources, as well as failing WP:CORP (|-- UlTiMuS 01:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Added Alan Farrey and Dumbass: The Movie to this nom as they are all related NN junk, all of which get only blog/mirror hits. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi, I understand your concern. May I just clear one thing up, though, Dumbass Productions is not a jackass copycat group of people, if anything it's the antithesis of it. Real films are made by these guys and have been released, admittedly in small numbers, in Co. Leitrim. I really understand your concern and I hope we can find some sort of middleground. Wikipedia is a huge resource of information and I think we can find something we both agree on. Jiei 01:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Also! I know for a fact that the company is undergoing a name change to dispel the very associations which are the basis for you wanting to delete it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jiei (talk • contribs) .
  • Perhaps it would be wise if you read WP:V and WP:CORP so we're both on the same level about what is and isn't acceptable Wikipedia content. And I am not nominating this article because of the title, since that is not a valid deletion criterion. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The reason for deletion is no "Jackass copyism," but rather that the company and its products and staff are not notable enough for Wikipedia at this time. They do not meet criteria set out under WP:CORP or WP:BIO, and are also not verifiable. --Wafulz 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Who is to judge what is notable enough? There are very loose definitions and it's impossible to say! I can understand why some of what you say may breach various policies and guidelines but at the same time I feel it's far more notable than some stuff listed on Wikipedia. I shan't argue the deletion of Alan Farrey and Dumbass: The Movie but I request that Dumbass: Productions remains. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jiel (talk • contribs) .
  • Who is to judge? The community. Which is what we are doing right here. And basically, what you're saying is: Don't delete, because there is much worse crap hanging around. And if that's the case, please help us and nominate that other stuff for deletion as well. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete all. I seriously doubt any of them will remain, Jiel. You give us no reason to care about the subject of the articles or say to ourselves, "Yes, this is worthy of an encyclopedia article." The best you've given us is a movie that won a monthly award from a random website. You've got to do better than that or the article is going to be removed. Aplomado talk 01:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

1. The reason for deletion of the original article is biased because of the connotations of the name, as shown by references to its ambiguity and the quality of similarly named "sites".

2. You do not need to care about it. This article is not relevant to you. I mean "random website" proves it - it's the biggest national Irish teen website. It is worthy of an encyclopedia article because Wikipedia is universal, international site and the article is relevant to a lot of people. This is the problem.

[edit] Characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee

  • Delete, the first half of the article is just a list of characters and their symbols, I've added their names to Image:SSBM-SelectScreen.png. The second part is game guide'ish explaining the characters attacks/special powers etc/moves how to do them etc - ". Falco's Up+B and Forward+B attacks aren't as long-ranged as Fox's". Suppose it's also fan-cruft. Not really an enyclopedic article, which is why I've nominated it. Andeh 22:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Good luck dealing with the shitstorm that accompanies all game-related AfDs. Aplomado talk 01:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment And I so do wonder why people vote keep. Hmm, might be because most of the delete voters know nothing about the subject matter? Havok (T/C/c) 13:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep w/ cleanup. Even though Wikipedia is not a game guide, SSBM is one of the best-selling GameCube games and ranks in the top 10 on NP charts even after 4 years. It most likely is a Players' Choice title, too. The guidecruft needs to go, however, and should be made into prose. TrackerTV (CW|Castform|Green Valley) 01:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    If the game-guide content goes, then it's just a list of characters/symbols and some descriptions of the minor characters.--Andeh 01:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete A list of the playable characters on the main SSB:M page should suffice. –NeoChaosX (talk | contribs) 01:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and Clean-up, maybe make it an article covering both SSBM and SSB so it's something like ""Characters from the Super Smash Bros. series". TJ Spyke 07:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or smerge to Super Smash Bros. Melee: the only arguably encyclopedic information here is the actual character list, which could usefully be placed in the game article (which currently has more information about characters that didn't appear in the game than characters that did!). The characters themselves, all being be famous Nintendo characters or cameos from other games, should already all have their own articles or be described in the articles from their respective games, so there's absolutely no point having yet another article about them that will just end up being filled with random trivia and redundant information. — Haeleth Talk 10:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: A list of characters being spun off from an article on a popular beat em up is not unreasonable, but this list fails completely, concentrating on trivia such as alternative colour schemes, logos, redundant information ('Mario from the Mario series') and cameos from minor characters.--Nydas 15:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge and Cleanup As far as I know, all these characters are already present in other games. The main article needs a list of playable characters and the guidecruft needs to go. This would make it concise enough to go back in the main article. Quendus 16:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment More or less what Haeleth said, actually. Quendus 16:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nomination --Mecanismo | Talk 16:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Trim down and Merge with Super Smash Brothers Melee. The character list is essential information and belongs on the parent page in the first place. (It's far more important than the hoaxes or the debug menu, IMHO). Zagalejo 17:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Nominator comment, it appears the main reason to keep is that it's a popular game. But does that mean it can have a game guide and other fan-cruft? Is it a ground-breaking or historical game? I agree with the major clean up and merge with Super Smash Bros. Melee, the characters from Super Smash Bros. are in the main article, surely this could be too.--Andeh 17:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and clean up per above. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 01:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Truncate and Merge There is an immense amount of information here that does not belong in an encyclopedic article (e.g. the degree of severity of Link's Up+B attack). There is a significant amount written in long-list style when a comma-separated list would do (like the #Characters symbols section). It seems like there is also quite a bit of original research (e.g. Tingle: A merry fairy wannabe character...). When all of this stuff is cut out, the rest should be merged into Super Smash Bros. Melee (as there shouldn't be too much left). -- tariqabjotu 03:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The characters were originally moved out as they were taking up too much space in the SSBM article. I suppose I'll go for merge them back in and remove all the stupid cruft. Hbdragon88 05:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep This company was a very important manufacturer of telescopes. They designed and built the optics for several of the major telescopes around the world currently in use - see the article. The article is a stubb at present as I only just added it . The company sponsored lectures at Durham University [2] (haven't had a chance to add that yet) and there are some great images that can be added when I figure out if they are allowed [3]. I'm sure this article is nn to non astronomers but I assure you that there are few in the astronomy world who will not have heard of them. Sophia 12:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I should also add that there were references to this company in other articles (one a red link) before I created it. Sophia 12:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Poker being a game with a strong element of luck , one reasonably strong performance, based almost entirely, it would appear on luck does not mean she is more succesful than thousands of players. Hers is as far as i know the only poker entrance in this encyclopedia based on only one performance that didnt involve victory. The precedent here is if she merits an inclusion then clearly every one from this and next years WSOP Main Event 1-15 should be included, which is farcical.Further, those who finished 4th ,6th 7th and 8th in the same competition don't have their own entry.Cardigan3000 07:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Please note that skill is not a requirement for someone to have an article. Whether Williamson is a good player or a bad one should not affect the decision on whether the article exists or not. Furthermore, the TV highlights that showed her in a poor light only represent a fraction of the total hands played, and it would therefore be inaccurate to base her entire playing ability on that appearance, particularly as she has coped admirably in other TV events she has appeared in. Essexmutant 07:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Skill may or not be required by to confirm notability, however the only notable thing about her is her performance in a competitive pursuit. There are several sites that explain in detail her poor play, in fact several unfathomably bad plays which may have removed her from the tournament before her relatively unremarkable 15th place. The only other reference to her poker play is a 1st place in a 6 player table of speed poker (heat1, she finished last in the semi final) , which is about as low grade of a victory as you can have, her profit from the tournament was 500 pounds. So there are no TV events according to the Hendon Mob database apart from this. The only thing notable about her is her result in one competition, and that is a 15th place.Cardigan3000 09:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep Now, let's make this clear: I'm a huge poker fan. We're talking hardcore. We're talking playing in biweekly games and watching it on TV whenever possible. With that said, Williamson is- in my opinion- barely notable enough for WP. As stated above, she came in 15th (and was also the highest finishing woman), but that really doesn't confirm notability. Yes, the competition had 5,619 players, so coming in 15th is amazing, but it's not as if she was top three. So I was going to argue deletion until I thought of the criteria for sportspeople, one of which is playing at the highest professional level of one's sport. Even if it was only for a week, and Williamson never does anything spectacular in poker ever again (which, after watching the WSOP many times, wouldn't shock me), she still played at the absolute highest level of poker. As a result, I've decided that the article is worth keeping, but only by a hair. -- Kicking222 11:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Relisting: the (previous AfD of 23 August 2006) was closed early with no consensus because the article had been deleted, but it was then recreated (albeit in a shortened form). The original citation by Friday read:

"Vanity page about an academic, full of stuff like "Cohen describes herself as "math prof / mathematician / poet / writer / classical pianist /thrift-shopper / mother / grandmother / scrabbler extraordinaire". Sure, a sucessfull career as an academic, but unless having a job euqals notability, there's not much of substance here. Sometimes I'd speedy stuff like this, but there's already been some talk page discussion so I figure it's best to give this one some discussion in case there's disagreement."

Can you establish why she is notable as a writer? Right now the criteria for that is this:
Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work
I can see pretty clearly that her books definitely exist, but other than that, I see one possible non-trivial independent review, and no notable awards. The threshold for inclusion isn't that she's just written the books- they need to be notable books too. --Wafulz 19:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per my logic above. The subject does not meet criteria proposed in either WP:PROF or WP:BIO, and her works do not meet criteria proposed in WP:BOOK.

The Temple University Press one looks like it is - but on closer inspection they are the publisher of the book in question, so the review can't be called independent.

To be a notable musician, one has to accomplish more than simply play with someone who's famous. I mean, if he recorded a solo project, or was featured in a reputable magazine of some kind, maybe. As it stands, I don't see how he can be determined notable to warrant his own article. By the way, an IMDB page isn't reason enough to keep his article. Justinmeister 01:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • So, just because you only recieved 3 hits from google when you searched for our site, you have the right to mark the article for deletion? That is not what the internet is about. You are not being responsible when you mark things for deletion. You didnt even look at the fact that we are a site that is still growing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .
  • If you are a site that is still growing, then it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. WP articles are reserved for notable, well established subjects, not growing ones. That's just how it is. (|-- UlTiMuS 03:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Well I have read the deletion policies and no where does it say that an article needs to be removed because a user feels it isn't notable. You're biased because our site is for gay, bi, and lesbian people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .
  • It's a factual article, it's not absurd, it's not biased, it's there for anyone that's interested in it. It's not a joke, and it's not in any way misleading. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .
  • Delete because I'm biased against gay, bi and lesbian people. That, of course, could be the only reason. It couldn't be at all because this is a nn site and its proponent is trying to explain to us what our policies should be even though he/she doesn't seem to understand them. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • This is kind of funny, because I'm not "straight", so theoretically I should support this article as staying, but on WP you have to throw your biases away and it just doesn't meet the notability criteria. I don't think you read them at all if you still think it does, Kshoaf. (|-- UlTiMuS 03:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Have you ever read the deletion policies? go here and read them... [15] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .
  • Oh, Jesus, another one of these deletion discussions: "I had no idea you actually had rules about what gets kept and what doesn't, and I resent it very much that you actually try to enforce them." Plus the homophobia angle (which is ridiculous, as these people can attest).
    Read WP:WEB. According to Alexa (which does have its limitations as a measure of popularity, we're aware), you're not even in the top 100,000 sites. I know the page says that's not reliable, but let's face it if you were really a high-traffic site you'd probably be here already.
    Now, within the criteria , and considering that Wikipedia already has a few articles on gay websites, can you tell us and show sources to prove that your site is notable? Has it been the subject of media coverage? Is it run by someone notable? Does its content get reproduced elsewhere? Show us. Daniel Case 03:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Daniel Case Amp 03:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • well let me ask you this... why does an article subject have to be popular in order to be listed on Wikipedia? It makes no sense. This is an online encyclopedia, which is supposed to be about ANY and ALL topics... GBL is a topic. Heck, Ive seen much worse on here. So, what is the point of marking it for deletion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .

You are exactly right and if it is deleted, it will be back... everytime. so, mark for deletion all you want —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .

  • That's why there is a blocking policy in place. Threatening to vandalize really doesn't go very far here. (|-- UlTiMuS 04:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
The fact that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia isn't what you were being called wrong about, it was the second half of your statement. BigHaz 04:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we can win this one....though justin's idea IS worth a shot but perhaps the good folk of wikipedia should be more understanding and less rude to people who are simply trying to make an article—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .

Also regarding the idea of creating the article every time it is deleted won't work because pages can be proetect against recreation if you try that. Its not going to work and if a page was a simple recration it would be speedy deleted much faster than this. Also for a bit of advice accusing people who are deleting an article that viloates Wikipedia rules of being rude will not help you case. --Edgelord 05:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Y'know, in terms of what's considered "reliable" for here, no, I'm not sure. In terms of what's up, I'm about 98% positive at this point. I don't expect "banned in China" to sway many people, regardless. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Whereas they write reams and reams about Pokémon characters. If you think that this is unbalanced, then campaign for people in the world at large to stop writing about Pokémon characters and start writing about Latin textbook characters. Persuade the world to make more source material on the latter. Wikipedia is not the tool for fixing any perceived disproportionate skews of the corpus of human knowledge.

  • Keep I think Wikipedia needs to go in the direction of having pages about all of these political blogs: they are an important new phenomenon and very frequently generate news. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
Consider that many of these, particularly this one, are related to campaigns. A few weeks after November they will effectively be dead. In a year they will no longer be encyclopedic, particularly if the candidate loses. Any news generated by the blog can thus effectively be dealt with in the article about the official supported. We considered that sort of thing when WP:WEB was created. Blogs need to be lasting to be notable. The Daily Kos is perhaps the acme of a notable political blog. This is a long way from that.
As for their novelty, consider that in a few years they will be standard, perhaps meriting their own section in articles about political campaigning and such and an external link but not a separate article, IMO, no more than the individual classrooms in a school building would.

[edit] Surch

Advertisement for a non-notable website, fails WP:WEB. Not that Alexa is an accurate reflection of notability, but since the article mentions it, the site only ranks 73,378 currently [27]. Poking around the web, I found posts like this: [28], indicating that the site is brand new, and "still in testing" (in addition to the article itself which indicates a beta release in July). Other Ghits: [29]. --AbsolutDan (talk) 05:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:WEB and WP:V, and from the link the nom gave, there's a fair amount of crystal balling too. Additionally, there is only one external link to the site. --Wafulz 07:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Include The page has been completely changed and the issues that you have talked about are taken out. But im going to disagree. Alexa is a widely used tool on the net and a creditable reference. There are many pages on wikipedia that list alexa. in addition you are referring to googles backlinks but not taking into account that they update on a whim when they want and how they want.... pagerank has not updated in almost 4 months so that is a completely unfair bias. Did you check msn or yahoo? Surch's traffic is far beyond most sites so the suggestion that it’s unknown is simply not true. I understand the issues with the first article but they have been changed.

    In addition, surch's alexa rating of 73K is a 3 MONTH average... todays total was 32K and our page views per user was higher than googles. So while we are new and our userbase is not that of the big3 it is growing and our users are consistent.

    I hope this helps. --Surch 08:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

    • Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source. Our articles are based upon secondary sources. If there is no non-trivial source material on a company, produced by people other than the company, we cannot have an article. If you wish to make a case for keeping the article please cite such sources. Uncle G 15:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Include I also disagree, this surch engine is a great surch engine and I have been thinking about submitting it onto wikipedia myself for some time now and I'm glad to see that someone actually has finally!

  • Delete. The article appears to be about the company behind the website and they, in no way, meet WP:CORP. Nuttah68 14:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Though the article does look somewhat better than it did when I first nominated it, it's still lacking sources. While I can appreciate that Surch might be a useful tool, unless there are reliable sources out there that review the site, or something else that makes the article meet WP:WEB/WP:CORP, the article cannot be included at this time. Additionally, I believe the editors above that refer to crystal-balling mean that a lot of the reasoning for inclusion of the article is based not on what the website/company has accomplished, but what it expects to -- in other words, that Surch isn't yet well-known, but will be. Let me state that although I still feel the article should be deleted at this time, I have no prejudice against recreation in the future if Surch turns out to be wildly successful and then meets criteria for inclusion (and I wish Surch well in this respect). --AbsolutDan (talk) 14:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


  • Comment: I understand but there are hundreds of thousands of sites listed on wikipedia that have nowhere near the audience that surch has. In fact our Alexa rating today was 18K... Again, 8.9 page views per user. Alexa IMO is creditable enough. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=surch.com&url=surch.com Please check todays totals then look at page views per user. Surch has not made in that page any reference to what it expects to do rather what it IS doing. I would suggest a site that gets well over a million uniques a day to be VERY well known. You make suggestion to "wildly successful" show me any site that is other than fortune 500's and then why dont you delete all the rest..that would leave wikipedia with say maybe a few thousand sites. --Surch 21:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment - "I understand but there are hundreds of thousands of sites listed on wikipedia that have nowhere near the audience that surch has.": Then nominate them for deletion. "Alexa IMO is creditable enough. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=surch.com&url=surch.com" - It's not. Google, with terms "surch search engine" displays your site, and some review on 5 Star Affiliate marketing program. "You make suggestion to "wildly successful" show me any site that is other than fortune 500's and then why dont you delete all the rest..that would leave wikipedia with say maybe a few thousand sites." - Something Awful, FARK, Slashdot, Neopets, the list goes on and on. The page was created with the purpose of advertising. If and when the site is notable, put it back, add some sources, and maybe we'll go from there. Wooty 00:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment Fair enough. I suppose you are, to a point, correct. I will repost when surch meets the standards of Wikipedia. Although Wooty, its funny that you only reference google. I think someone once said... "We are all nothing but a flock of sheep, a button collar starched and bleached." In addition...Who was it, the macintosh boys that were turned down for VC by some no-name banker? Hrm. Funny that. I suppose at this point I will ask that surch be deleted.
Comment There are problems with Google, sure, but at the moment it's the best way to determine notability, unless you've got a bunch of links from notable websites handy. I appreciate your understanding, and I wish your project well. Regards, Wooty 06:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Agnes Broun may not be on the level of John Shakespeare, but from a reseacher's and literary scholar's point of view, her story is a valuable side-note, a fact confirmed by the archival interest in her life. For the record, I am not related to Agnes Broun. Finally, because of Burns' demi-god status, Agnes Broun has become a folk figure.--Wbroun 06:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as it currently stands to her son's page. If there's enough information to warrant a separate article, spin it out after it's been written there. If all she is is a side-note (valuable or not), then she'd do better as a side-note on her son's page. BigHaz 07:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
(following the expansion) Weak merge to her son's page. There's more information about her, which is a great thing to see, but I'm still not totally convinced that she's notable for any reason than the fact of her son's fame. The fact that more information has been added, though, weakens my original leaning. BigHaz 04:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep what wbroun said is true. Agnes Broun is important to any resaercher or scholar who wants to learn more about Burns. I think she passes WP:BIO as notable. Thε Halo Θ 10:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Which part/s of WP:BIO? BigHaz 10:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Two, that I can see, maybe another, though I'd have to research.
  • 100 year test (future speculation) -- In 100 years time will anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful?
  • 100 year test (past speculation) -- If we had comparable verifiable information on a person from 100 years ago, would anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful today?
And
  • The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person. (Multiple similar stories describing a single day's news event only count as one coverage.)
I'm sure that there are some academic papers out there, though, as I said, I'd have to look. Thε Halo Θ 10:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
She may get through on the last one, but I just have a feeling that the majority of people out there who'll be after information on her would be happy with a paragraph or two in her son's article. As it's currently written (and I'll accept it as a work in progress) the only thing anyone could gain from reading the article is that she was Robbie's mother and outlived him - the second point of which is mildly interesting in itself. BigHaz 10:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
A "paragraph or two" on the main Burns article would be digressive and, frankly, disruptive of the narrative of the poet's life. As far as the article not appealing to a majority of info-gatherers, I stand guilty as charged. The piece, which is well-supported, is aimed at Burns scholars and serious enthusiasts, those who wish to "dig deeper" than the standard Burns-o-pedia entry. --Wbroun 05:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there anything wrong with adding a section to the bottom of Burns' own article entitled "family" and writing that he was descended from the Brouns and that his mother Agnes [insert rest of article here]? BigHaz 07:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Please Note I have now expanded this article as planned. I intend to add more, as time permits, for the edification and interest of scholars of Burns and Scottish folklore.--Wbroun 04:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or Delete Google scholar search for "Agnes Broun" as a phrase finds no academic papers, and four bools: two on Robert Burns, one Register of Wills and Inventories, and one on Early Modern Witches. I'm not certain if the last two are about her, but clearly any notability is from being Robert's mom, not independent. GRBerry 05:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
One cannot be too surprised not to find any academic paper on Agnes Broun, esp. of those listed on Google scholar search. She will always be a minor figure of literary history and folklore, not the sort of person on which academic careers are built. Still, those academics and lay-scholars wanting to learn more about Burns will find joy and interest in learning more about his mother. If not on Wiki, where else? It's a little hard to grasp why one would want to suppress such information, tho I am totally new to Wiki, so I probably am misunderstanding some aspect of protocol.--Wbroun 05:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the best place to put information on her is into an article on her son at the moment. There are other examples of historical figures with peripherally interesting family members having their biographies expanded with information on the family member. That way the information itself remains "unsuppressed". BigHaz 07:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. Some of the info would certainly work in Robbie's article, but much of it just doesn't fit. There is a great spectrum of notability, and Agnes is on the lighter side, but Burns' scholars and enthustiasts will take interest nonetheless in these small gems. Anyway, I don't want to repeat myself and wear out my welcome -- I think I've said all I can in this debate. I appreciate people's interest in Burns and his family.--Wbroun 08:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep—Notability is not a formal policy, and the concept of notability is always contentious. A fair test of whether a subject has achieved sufficient external notice to ensure that it can be covered based on verifiable information from reliable sources, without original research. Am comfortable that this meets the criterion. That the article's author may be related does not invalidate the material; it only invites closer scrutiny. Williamborg (Bill) 05:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep appears that the subject is notable, per the monument in her name and per Mark Twain's referenc eto her. Per WP:N, "Notability cannot be measured for some historical and international topics". Remembering that schooling in those days is somewhat different to today, Broun, as the primary influence on Robbie Burns, could arguably passes WP:BIO, WP:PROF, IMHO.

[edit] Ulfkeitel Couplande

I think this is a hoax. It was added by a user with essentially no other contributions. I can't find any hits on Google or Google Books that are not derived from Wikipedia. The source cited are 12 volumes of a book from 1892. I know a fair amount about Anglo-Scandinavian history of the period and I think I would have heard about someone who saved Canute's life twice. There was an Ulfcytel who fought at the Battle of Ashingdon - but he was on Edmund's side and he was killed in the battle. Haukur 08:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - difficult one as I suspect you may be right in that he didn't exist. Nevertheless, it may be that there is some myth that has been reported as fact in the Yorkshire Inquisitions. Should we just delete because we personally can't check the records? I've come down for delete on the basis that there aren't multiple sources, and the source cited can't be a primary source as it isn't contemporaneous. If it is deleted there are references in Coupland, Northumberland and Copeland, Cumbria that should be removed too. Yomanganitalk 12:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    You're right, it could conceivably be a legend reported as fact rather than an outright hoax. Let's see if we can get more knowledgeable people in here. Haukur 15:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm no expert but reading the articles, Ulfkeitel Couplande saved Cnut's life in 1015 and as a reward was granted land in Cumbria. The trouble I see here is that it is widely accepted that Cumbria was Scottish until 1032. Nuttah68 21:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment One of the major problems with this is that the transliteration of Nordic names varies a lot, and as such, it could just be an unusual transliteration.-- Kim van der Linde at venus 02:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
    Indeed. Ulfkeitel is presumably intended as a version of Ulfkell/Úlfkell/Ulfketill/Úlfketill/Ulfcytel/Ulfcetel etc. though it isn't one I've seen before. Couplande is more difficult; it would presumably be an Anglicization of something like *Kaupland though I'm not familiar with that as a byname. Thus we might have something like "Ulfkell af Kauplandi" but that doesn't help me at all in finding anything about this purported person. Haukur 09:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Israel-South Africa relations

This an unnecessary page created by User:Deuterium due to his edits on the Foreign relations of Israel page being reverted. And for good reason. Along with Israeli Apartheid articles, it just another attempt to place anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia Evolver of Borg 11:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, of course. The material is factual, balanced and extremely well sourced by Wikipedia standards. The fact that Evolver of Borg sees it as "anti-Israel propaganda" and wants it deleted speaks volumes of his own attitudes and standards. Deuterium 11:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge back to Foreign relations of Israel. While I agree it is well-referenced and it is not blatantly POV pushing, it also looks to be an exercise in WP:POINT due to reversions of Deuterium's changes in the Foreign relations of Israel page. I'd strongly disagree with Evolver of Borg's reasoning after the first sentence though: although some of the revisions made by Deuterium were unnecessary and not NPOV, a number of them provided clarity and references to the article and actively removed POV. Yomanganitalk 11:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
To be honest, I didn't make this article because I was being reverted on Foreign Relations of Israel, but because the South Africa entry on that page had grown much larger than the entries for other countries, even the Soviet Union! Even Venezuela gets a Israel-Venezuela relations page, so I don't see this page's existence as being inappropriate. Deuterium 11:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Changed to Keep - I apologise if I unfairly characterized your actions. I took a good look at the article and the South Africa section of Foreign relations of Israel and its history, but didn't check the comparative sizes of the rest of Foreign relations of Israel. Considering almost every other country has their own page, there's no reason why this shouldn't be split off as well (though obviously the South Africa section on the main article needs cutting back in that case). I suggest any objections of bias be addressed in on the article's talk page. Yomanganitalk 12:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem and thanks for the support. I agree that the South Africa section in Foreign relations of Israel does need cutting back in size, I'm just cautious about doing so due to the inevitable POV accusations in summarizing a great deal of facts in a few paragraphs.

If Deuterium's edits have been unneccesarily reverted on other pages, maybe that speaks to a clear Pro-Israeli bias by other contributors. Given the size of the material, this clearly warrants its own article. Evolver of Borg has unnecceasrily asked for deletion here. Please be careful with these in the future.

[edit] SCG International Risk

Delete Fails WP:CORP. 1190 Ghits; only this one is actually a third party article about the company, and it is not exclusively about SCG. Other hits are either press releases, directory listings, or the company's own website. Mike Christie (talk) 12:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment; I've been through most of the citations from Jamie (thanks for the detailed list). Most do not qualify, but a couple do; I think the company is marginally notable and am changing to comment. I will look further at the WP:CORP policy and think about revising my vote again. I would vote Keep if some of the "opaque" sources are shown to be direct non-trivial coverage of SCG, as opposed to Jamie Smith. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Christie - thanks for doing a great job editing. But since you've looked at the contribution I've continued to add to it and feel that it actually does comply with WP:CORP which states that:

The criteria for companies and corporations requires that the company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.

As you can see there are considerably more than just the third party article you noted. I just hadn't the time to finish adding everything - the contribution is only a few hours old. These are comparable to other companies that have been used for their justification. Here's a list:

  • [35] Licensed to Kill, Hired Guns in the War on Terror by Robert Young Pelton (Crown, September 2006)
This is a book about the SCG's area; can't tell from Amazon what level of coverage there is. Jamie, could you give some information about the contents? Does it treat SCG specifically as a subject, e.g. by devoting a chapter to SCG? Or does it mention them as a background name, by saying for example that someone mentioned in the book works for them? If this book directly treats SCG as a primary subject, it would be strong evidence for notability. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
This qualifies -- it's an article about the business of security, and it starts with a few seconds of interview with Jamie Smith, who had a bullet in his arm. SCG are not the direct topic of the article, but they are a lead example given as one of the businesses in this area. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
As with the Amazon story the content isn't clear; can you clarify? Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The Virginia-Pilot Newspaper. Beach man wounded in mideast. A Virginia Beach security contractor was shot and wounded near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border this week. Jamie Smith, the owner of SCG International Risk, was hit in the arm Monday night...(April 10, 2004 in FRONT section, page A13 by Joanne Kimberlin)
I don't see how this makes SCG itself notable; as with a couple of other links here, the implied notability is more Jamie's than SCG's. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • CNN Reporter Kevin Sites interview SCG CEO Jamie Smith. (Subject: Kidnapping of Robert Pelton, Meg Smaker and Mark Wedeven) (Date: 28Jan03)
This is hard to assess without knowing more about the interview. It sounds as though the topic was the kidnapping, and Jamie is being interviewed in his capacity as an expert. I don't think this contributes much to SCG's own notability. The intention of the notability clause in WP:CORP is that the writer took the business in question as their subject. That doesn't sound like it's the case here. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
This qualifies; there are three paragraphs in this news story where Jamie Smith is interviewed specifically discussing security firms in Iraq and describing SCG's own deployment. It's not in-depth coverage, but it's there. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Same quotes as the Trib piece above; given that the Tribune is the more important outlet, I don't think this adds anything. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
This is an interview with Jamie Smith, the CEO of SCG (and also apparently the creator of this Wikipedia article). He was interviewed in his capacity as an erstwhile instructor of air marshals; the interviewer ends by saying that he is now CEO of SCG International, but there is no other mention of the company. This really isn't coverage of SCG itself. Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
This is a listing in an appendix that lists many companies; this is essentially a directory listing and doesn't qualify as coverage.
This is just a one-line mention of one of SCG's course in Pelton's article; this is very marginal to qualify as coverage of the company.Mike Christie (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Remember, of course, that we need to not violate the GFDL; if anything of the original article that was put up for AfD remains in the current stub, there needs to be a history merge, which will take admin intervention.

  • Merge and redirect. Well, unbeknownst to me when I rewrote the stub, there is already a List of birds on stamps. If the stub were merged and redirected to this page, it would be consistent with Ships on stamps and People on stamps, both of which are similar redirects. —Celithemis 09:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete these lists still trouble me as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

anti-Sydney rant, original research/POV Deuterium 12:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete for now, I'll change my vote if this article is improved to something similar to Westies. Addhoc 12:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment This article was created during discussions at Talk:Westies (people) and to resolve an NPOV issue in the Wikipedia. You are welcome to participate in this discussion.
After the deletion of Easties a NPOV problem was created. Editors have been attempting to address this problem and to cover this issue in it entirety. Further reading is at User talk:Richardshusr/Easties (people). you should acquaint yourself with all the issues before rushing to judgement. (My position was that both articles should have been deleted but some editors pushed for Easties to be deleted and Westies kept, thus the NPOV issue.)--WikiCats 13:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment on your comment, Ok I didn't realise, and thanks for explaining, however currently the article is well below the quality of Westies, so I think weak delete is fair. Addhoc 15:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Parochialism in Sydney was the result of consensus here: Talk:Westies_(people)#Layout. After Easties was deleted and Westies kept it created a NPOV issue for the Wikipedia.
Editors have been in discussion to address this problem. The problem of NPOV has to be solved. If this article is deleted you can be assured that this crisis will be solved. Another article will be created. As long as one part of Sydney’s name calling war is portrayed (Westies), then the whole of the battle must be described.
I invite Deuterium, Addhoc, michael, Bige1977, BigHaz and Capitalistroadster to contribute here [36] to solving this issue for the Wikipedia. --WikiCats 03:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Not being a Sydneysider myself, my knowledge of the stereotypes that one part of the city has for the other are going to be slim at best. That said, what we have here is and will remain (unless those involved in solving the NPOV problems on that article help with contributions here) an unsourced and potentially inaccurate series of comments. BigHaz 04:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I support the deletion of all these silly terms; they have no place on Wikipedia. michael talk 13:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I can't be much clearer. When one part of Sydney's name calling war was deleted it created a NPOV problem. The war was determined to be caused by Sydney's Parochialism. --WikiCats 04:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
In that case, perhaps all the parts of the war should go, particularly if they aren't all equally notable. Another alternative would be to subsume all the constituent parts into one article (such as this one), so that everything can be in the one place rather than risking deletion for non-notability or other reasons when it's split off into separate articles. A third alternative, particularly if there's some overarching need to have this particular article here, would be to add more sources to this one. BigHaz 07:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The idea that the deletion of Easties caused a NPOV problem can only come from a misunderstanding of the NPOV policy, and so should not be mentioned in this discussion. Having said that, I did agree previously that the material that WikiCats and Richard are trying to cover in this article could make a good article if well researched. However, I think it would be better as a section of a cleaned up Culture of Sydney than in this form. I guess I'm saying merge. JPD (talk) 10:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Culture of Sydney per JPD. --Arnzy (whats up?) 11:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


  • Comment The Culture of Sydney is about multiculturalism. It is about people getting along with each other. I don't think that they would be happy about making it to an article about Sydney's name calling war.
In any case, I have added several more references. --WikiCats 11:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • That article isn't and shouldn't be simply about multiculturalism or people getting along with each other. Any information worth having one these subcultures and stereotypes also should be talked about simply as a name calling war, but in a broader context. The Regions in Sydney suggestion from Capitalistroadster is another place where this might be covered in a broader context, but trying to only describe some "name calling war" is not helping anything. JPD (talk) 11:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Why would Wikipedia benefit from an article that is more or less going to be a class, ethnic and political battleground? You cannot speak for everyone in this article or cover all views; these type of terms are best left as hearsay and opinion. michael talk 11:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per michael. I originally merely placed a {{bias}} tag on the article, and came under a bit of fire because of it (see talkpage for juicy details, if you want 'em). An article such as this could never fully conform to the policies of NPOV and, to some extent, original research. Personal opinions do not an article make. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 13:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Very Strong Keep I created this article during discussion with other editors.
  • This debate is not a vote
  • The article was nominated for deletion within minutes of being started. It has been rewritten in neutral prose.
  • The article was proposed as a solution to a NPOV issue that had arisen after the deletion of one point of view in the Sydney name calling dispute
  • This is an attempt at an umbrella article to cover all points of view
  • Parochialism is an article that exists
  • One of the issues Westies (people) exists
  • The article is verifiable with numerous notable references
  • The article is not original research
  • The article is written from a neutral point of view in neutral prose
--WikiCats 03:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Other articles similar to this one, such as Westies, should also be deleted. Slang terms to represent petty class, ethnic and political differences in Sydney do not need articles dedicated to them. Such an article will be based on biased sources (the primary source at the moment is from an online opinion column) and will also be succeptible to easy manipulation by those who want to discredit other groups. Article neutrality can't be claimed when the sources are opinionated.

I don't want to think about how poor an article on parochialism in my home city would be. michael talk 04:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment This sets a pretty poor precedent. Parochialism in Adelaide... Brisbane... Perth... Wooloomooloo... where are we going with this? — riana_dzasta wreak havoc|damage report 10:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

This style of parochialism seems largely unique to Sydney and is well documented. --WikiCats 11:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm still not sold on this "well documented" idea. The links provided on the article mention the general concept of parochialism in Sydney (so we know it exists, but nothing more). Failing that, the ones which actually identify more about the phenomenon are blogs and the like, which are questionable sources. It might be my Historian Hat talking here, but for something to be "well documented", there really should be more neutral sources talking about how the different parts of the city are viewed or perceived. This is the sort of thing I'd imagine a sociologist would have written something on, for example. BigHaz 12:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for acknowledging that parochialism in Sydney exists. There's one blog to demonstrate usage. There are notable references such as the Macquarie Dictionary/Book of Slang and the Sydney Morning Herald publication. --WikiCats 13:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Your sources are by no means reputable or "well documented". Two of them are opinion peices, two are simply small dictionary entries (if anywhere on Wikimedia, the slang terms should be on Wiktionary, not Wikipedia), and in one case, a comment replying to a blog post. Another speaks of the non-existence of 'parochialism in Sydney'. michael talk 13:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete any discussion on such phenomena is more appropriate to a broader article on Sydney culture, provided it is supported by reliable sources. This article is not, and appears little more than a fork.--cj | talk 13:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment Richardshusr has posted a request for feedback on the article. You may wish to give feedback to help him improve the article, rather than just deleting it.

This article reads as a thinly veiled ad for what is currently an insignificant product on the Mac. Not every application needs or deserves a WP page. pbones 18:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep – The article does read like an advertisement, but after a rewrite I should be kept. AppZapper was reviewed by Macworld [37] a while ago and did get some coverage on other Mac related websites. I don't see why every app shouldn't deserve a page on Wikipedia, I mean, there articles on virtually every little detail, non-notable to some, in the Star Wars movies. A lot of small applications are covered in this encyclopedia, from open source commandline ones to commercial applications, and I think that's a good thing, in regard to completeness, as long as the articles don't read like an advertisement. mensch • t 21:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The article is nothing less than an advertisement for the organization mentioned within. Statements like:

This article has been previously proposed for deletion.

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Missler is less than credible, but then so is Uri Geller, and there's a Wikipedia page on him. Both can claim to be public figures; both are published authors. A neutral point-of-view page providing fair warning about Missler, unaccredited universities and so on does Wikipedia readers a service. (I'm interested because I'm currently debating deletion of Wikipedia's SWANsat page -- Missler signed off on Welty's SWANsat "PhD" dissertation, despite having no expertise in communications research - the unaccredited and entirely bogus Louisiana Baptist University strikes again.) Lloyd Wood 14:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete requires a secondary reference to substantiate notability. Addhoc 13:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Quick check on Google reveals 85,600 hits, most of which are relevant. The article is written fairly well, contains sources, and suggests some degree of notability. Was this recommended for deletion because he runs an unaccredited institute? I don't get the point of this nomination. RFerreira 08:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable author.--Tdl1060 16:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious Keep - he is an extremely well-known author. Go to amazon.com and key in "Chuck Missler" - he has plenty of books. His theology is a bit out there (Bible codes, UFOs), but that doesn't matter as far as his notability. BigDT 18:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Speedy keep actually, as a nomination made by a banned user. Take a look at article history. The AFD tag was added by a mostly vandalism AOL user and the "2" was added by an impersonator of admin Tony Sidaway. Given that the impostor's edit was four minutes after the IP added the AFD tag, I think it's reasonable to assume that the two are one in the same. Thus, speedy keep as a nomination made by a banned user. BigDT 18:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph N. Hall

Non notable person. I certainly have nothing against User:Joe n bloe, but I don't think this belongs in an encyclopedia. This is the second time this article has been nominated. For review, please see the first nomination. Also note the user history of the user who recreated the page. Ktdreyer 22:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Cf. Mark Jason Dominus whose page was nominated twice. (He's a friend of mine whose position in the Perl community is I think fairly comparable.) You guys can do what you want, but I have about 25,000 Google hits, a (very well known and consistently very well reviewed) book, 2 years of articles in .login;, other national publications, and a personal history in the 1970s (unrelated to Perl obviously) that made me known to probably 10-25% of the US population at one time or another. I don't know the person who put the page back but people will continue to do so IMO. If you vote to "keep" I will fix it so that it's accurate. As far as WP:BIO goes it meets: "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work" and (for print and video coverage from about 1975-1977 of my history as a child prodigy and survivor of acute lymphocytic leukemia) "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events / The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." For example 1975 interview on ABC Evening News, August 1976 Reader's Digest article entitled "Prodigy from Plumtree", Visit to the White House (page 4), Reference to appearance on Tom Synder's late night Tomorrow Show. I don't know who User:Ktdreyer is but I've never heard of him and this is one of only two or three articles he's proposed (re-proposed this time) for deletion.

  • Delete. No real notability established. -- Necrothesp 13:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: marginally notable for Effective Perl Programming alone. Joe, none of the other articles/incidents help your WP:BIO case if they are not mentioned and cited in the article; that said, it is awkward (per WP:VAIN) for you to write your own article. bikeable (talk) 22:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I'm aware of that. I really don't want to work on it because I have very mixed feelings about that period, but on the other hand I can provide a starting point. Please see User:Joe_n_bloe/Play and let me know if that seems acceptable. Many people have remained genuinely curious even after 30 years. On the other other hand, I'm not sure I want the nutjobs to start tracking me down again. Meanwhile, back to the book: many Perl authors (and authors in general) have stubs in Wikipedia, and I personally find them very useful, especially if they do include a bit of biographical material. Joseph N Hall 23:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as the author of a notable book, meets my interpretation of WP:BIO inclusionary guidelines. RFerreira 07:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as the author of a notable book, and possibly more books in the future. bbx 08:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as the user who created the page (I didn't know I was recreating it at the time) I think it is odd that an entry for the book is acceptable but not the man who wrote it (the book has been known in the Perl community for a considerable length of time) and that's why I added the entry. It might be fair to say this should be combined into the book entry. I knew there were other reasons for Joseph's notability going back to the seventies, unrelated to the book, but didn't know all the details. Micmath 22:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of anagrams

I've submitted this page for deletion as I can't see that it has anything to do with an encyclopedia. There are dozens of website on the net that have lists of anagrams and that is where this page belongs - on a personal website or a blog entry, IMO not wikipedia.

If anyone wants to restructure it in some radical way, great, but all I see is a list of randomly chosen anagrams, many of which are original research and have no base on the web. Mglovesfun 19:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I believe the band does not pass guidelines set in WP:MUSIC, particularly this one:
Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
The band is under Rubbish Records, which in and of itself is not a notable record label- I can't find any independent coverage, and they seem to be fairly new. I also don't think one review is enough to pass verifiability standards.
If anything, I think this guideline might apply because the bassist sounds like he is potentially notable- the thing is, he doesn't have an article right now.
Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such. --Wafulz 15:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete and move Atlas V rocket to Atlas V (currently a redirect to the rocket) so that it matches Atlas II and Atlas (missile), which do not use "rocket" as part of the name (it would be fine if "rocket" was used for disambiguation, such as Atlas (missile) instead of missile, though). Alternatively, move it to Atlas V (rocket) and move Atlas (missile) to Atlas (rocket) (I think the latter would be better off there in any case, since they are usually not called missiles). Another alternative would be to include "rocket" in all of their names. -- Kjkolb 18:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trillion

R. Koot keeps changing this to a redirect without discussion. I think we should reach a consensus about what to do with this article. I don't think redirecting to names of large numbers is right, as most links to trillion want information about the actual number, not the name of it. Also is much interesting information about the number and other thirteen-digit numbers here. Wii gok 13:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jean-François Vibert

problematical article per WP:AUTO and WP:V. The article is about a French journalist photographer who appears to be an autobio (Author's name is Actionreporter - same as the domain name he registered for his personal website). Scored 503Ghits, of which 70 non-mirror, other than wiki and his own site, it shows he is indeed a photographer who gives digital photo courses at Nikon france, as well as take action photos. Little independently verifiable info about his life and his businesses. His site is linked to 78 pages, of which 47 were [external] pages, several were from macandphoto.com, which he uses to publicise his photography courses, and a to number of private blogs testimonials about his photography. Searching under ridingzone sourced info to prove that the site was indeed bought by Wanadoo, division of FranceTel. The Dec '01 article mentions staff grievances at the intended closure of the business (mixing editorial with ecommerce) which originally forecast FFR20m turnover in the first year, only to see it come in at FFr400k.

Beyond 85th in line and being a granddaughter of ex-King Michael (but not of a reigning monarch as she was born after Michael was exiled) the article makes no claims to notability. It is, inevitably, unreferenced. Google hits are the usual WP and echoes plus royalty sites, none of which constitute WP:RS per WP:V or WP:BIO. No gnews hits for Medforth-Mills. It therefore seems unlikely that the subject meets WP:BIO guidelines for biographies. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Just curious how you guys are defining notability. Are you using the proposal WP:SCHOOL? If so, this school does meet the criteria because there are multiple non-trivial works about the school. Not all are currently cited in the article, but there is [39] and [40] (originally published in an architectural journal) as well as some local media coverage. Furthermore, WP:NOT absolutely does not say that articles need to have any notability or importance to be included. JYolkowski // talk 20:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

The result was delete as an attack page. It is extremely unlikely that someone who supposedly murdered so many people would not have a single relevant Google result. The dying of a tumor in his rectum is also suspicious. It appears that there is someone in the present day who had the same name, which may be the person being attacked. There is a (non-attack) memorial page for him (the person in the article supposedly died in 1922, but that does not mean much). -- Kjkolb 17:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aliks Sauvè

Google turned up nothing for either of the books listed as references, and neither did the Library of Congress database. In addition, Googling Aliks Sauvè truns up nothing relevant.

[edit] Secularization of Christian holidays

Unused disambiguation page (no article links to it). Also an unlikely search term, although one editor has claimed to have searched on it before. Finally, it's POV to include Spring Holiday as a disambiguation item, because it's POV to imply that "Spring Holiday" is evidence of secularization of Christian holidays. (And if Spring Holiday is removed, there's no longer any need for a disambiguation page.) Powers T 15:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, disambiguation pages are for when there are articles on different topics that may be confused with each other. There is no way that someone is going to confuse the article Secularization of Christmas with Spring Holiday. -- Kjkolb 17:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per above. I think the respective pages might be salvagable, but the disambiguation page is pointless (except for the "point" in POV). Irongargoyle 19:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete misuse of a disambiguation page GRBerry 05:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as useful onward direction. I am the user who has searched on the term. I have also nominated articles to be merged there rather than standalone, ie combine Secularisation of Christams and Spring Holiday into one article. It might not be a good example of a disambiguation page. It is however, a useful redirect page to two articles on related topics without producing unnecessary forking and/or repetition. It is highly unlikely looking at the current state of the AfD on Spring Holiday, that that article will be deleted. A redirect to the more specific article will still be useful. I don't think people would guess wihtougt this linking article that one would find information about an aspect of the secularisation of Easter under the title "Spring Holiday". I disagree that it is POV to suggest that "Spring Holiday" is evidence of secularisation of Easter. That is what that article is about and current references 1, 2, & 9 support that assertion, particularly the reference to Bridenbaugh v. O'Bannon, where the US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals cited, in part, that referring to Good Friday as "Spring Holiday" was evidence of a secular purpose and therefore not unconstitutional. To my mind this is quite adequate and neutral evidence that "Spring Holiday" is one aspect of secularization of Christian holidays.--Arktos talk 10:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I strongly disagree that Bridenbaugh is evidence for the "secularization of Easter". All it means is that giving people Good Friday off is ok if it's called something else. The POV that that constitutes "secularization" is not neutral. I continue to maintain that the phenomenon of "Spring Holiday" has nothing to do with any supposed "secularization" of Easter. Powers T 14:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per AYArktos; expand/merge. Whether or not some Christian holidays are being "secularized", the fact that a significant number of Americans believe this is the case means we should have an article on the debate. I believe Secularization of Christmas is a subset of this, and Spring Holiday may or may not be a subset. —Quarl (talk) 2006-08-27 22:24Z
    • For the record, I would not object to an actual article on the subject, if it was NPOV and well-written. This is not such an article; it is an attempt at a disambiguation page, and that's what I nominated it for deletion. =) Powers T 23:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not a good start on the road to this topic, about as useful as an article on the De-Catholicization of Roman Catholic holidays to rant about how protestants have usurped the one-and-true-mother-church, blah blah blah. Carlossuarez46 01:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mistula

At first, this seemed like just another band vanity page, and after the creator didn't respond to my comments on their talk page, I speedied it. However, the creator left some comments on my talk page, and I now believe that this article could actually stay on Wikipedia. I'm putting it up for AFD, but abstaining from voting since I'm a bit ambiguous on this. I'll let you guys decide. - ulayiti (talk) 15:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • KEEP I believe this article should stay on Wikipedia for the following reasons: 1. This is not a vanity or promotional page for the band. 2. This article provides information about the first virtual/concept band in the Philippines and their achievements. 3. It focuses on a band that is pioneering a new genre in the Philippine music scene. 4. Mistula gives a glimpse of the current innovations that impact the Philippine rock scene. 5. This supports the Wikipedia article virtual band, where Mistula was used as an example. --Webmessiah 18:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Webmessiah
  • Weak keep appears to have received attention from MTV Philippines, a google search also backs this.--Andeh 18:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As Webmessiah stated, Mistula is the first virtual band in the Philippines, and they are indeed pioneering a new genre in the local music scene. Their music says a lot about the Filipino faith and culture. Not only are they well-known in the Philippines, but are also known internationally due to the fact that they web-based and accessible to everyone. Silentaria 16:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Info is accurate, support can be backed up from mentioned sources (MTV Philippines, Myx, Pinoy Radio, Rakista, Philmusic). Google search displays snippets of band info, this article collects and sums up everything and therefore helpful to both old and new followers of the band and the genre they have created --Puppet Prophet 18:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Puppet Prophet
  • Keep especially per Webmessiah #5 above. And seems notable enough. Dina 23:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Webmessiah's five reasons. Plus it has placed in international competitions. GBYork 00:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as Mistula is part of the Wikipedia entry for Pinoy rock
  • Keep This is a valid band page, plus it forms a necessary part of the Virtual Band article. --JB Adder | Talk 14:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This is also a great reference on the influence of the web and how the band has used this to reach an international audience. It also links in with Super Dollfie, Ball-jointed doll Cresh24 15:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Jeremy Kyle Show

This page should be deleted as wikipedia is not a collection of t.v. shows that are aired. The t.v show is in the form of a The Jeremy Kyle Show The t.v show is in the form of a chat show and is low on factual content. The article is a short stub like article that dose not have a place on wikipedia. It is badly written and unrefrenced and contains original research.--Lucy-marie 14:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I believe television shows on major networks do merit articles, since they are well known and therefore can pass verifiability. Their ratings are tracked, and their airdates are documented, so original research can be avoided. It might need a little bit of cleaning, but it definitely doesn't merit deletion. It has also been in the news. --Wafulz 16:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

An article, unreferenced, on a webcomic which appears not to meet WP:WEB standards, or WP:V ones.

[edit] List of Smallville episodes

This page has created a redundancy in the Smallville episode pages. Seasonal pages have already been in place for almost a year, while this page has just been created. This page is in poor quality and contains incorrect information. Though it may be a more common practice to list episodes this way, it isn't a mandatory practice. The Seasonal pages have been around longer, and have managed to condense the information into what is important, instead of creating individual episode pages that just draw out the plot details. Seasonal pages are an improvement on "episode lists". They don't create excess pages for needless plot details, keep "trivia" to what is important and noteable, keep "guest stars" to major roles and not "the milk man standing in the background barely in focus". Bignole 17:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Guidelines are not concrete, and Smallville Season pages are an improvement on the "list of episode" type pages. There are not enough "allusions" per episode to provide support for an entire episode page, but, there are so many in a season that it's good to have a page to list them all. Smallville is unique to most television shows, because it has multiple mediums to allude to for the same character. What is proposed for Smallville is having 6 or so seasonal pages, as opposed to having 130+ episode pages that, for no other reason than to expand a plot into scene for scene description, doesn't have enough info to support a page. Writers and Directors can be listed with the short plot description on the seasonal page. True trivia can be noted under that, because true trivia doesn't occur in every single episode. Quotes are reserved for Wikiquote. Seasonal pages list important guest stars, not every Joe Blow in the show. Also, you should note that all episodes in the Season pages are linked to WikiCities http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, where that type of information (expanded plot, goofs, all guest stars [even ones that are not prominant in the episode], and other less than encyclopedic information) is more appropriate. Bignole 18:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Arguments against Deletion The content and quality of the seasonal pages will be preserved and moved to new articles for each episode. Having an article for each episode allows more information about each episode to be preserved in an appropriate location. The seasonal summary pages and List of Smallville allusions have to exclude otherwise appropriate information to avoid becoming large and cluttered.

The page was only recently created; that is not finished is no reason to delete it. A tag at the top of the page appropriately notes this fact. It is not linked to from the main Smallville article, not will it be until it is ready.

The format proposed follows the guidelines set forth in Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes. List of Smallville allusions is strong evidence that there is "enough independently verifiable information included about individual episodes" to warrant individual episode pages.

Debate History The debate grew out of a discussion of what merited inclusion in List of Smallville allusions (Talk). I (Anþony) proposed that the Allusions page be eventually removed in favor of a Trivia or References section in individual episode pages yet to be created. Upon learning of the plan to create pages for each episode, the discussion spilled over into Talk:List of Smallville episodes, where Bignole immediately suggested deleting the page in favor of the current per-season format.

  • Keep per reasons stated above. -Anþony 18:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Why should it be a work in progress to begin with? Individual pages contain information that is highly unencyclopedic to begin with, and better suited for Wikia (where all the episodes are already linked to in the Season pages). Why should a creation even begin if pages that are already in place, and doing quite well in editorship, need a little fixing up themselves? Deviations are sometimes needed with guidelines, especially ones that create needless pages. Oh, and as for the "Allusions" page, that is better suited in Wikia also. By principle it's trivia, and trivia is not encyclopedic. Bignole 18:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
What information about TV shows should be included in an online encyclopedia is definitely controversial. What's encyclopedic to one person may be unencyclopedic to another. It's a matter of opinion. I've been working on these kind of pages for a while and my guestimate is that it's about 40/60 or 50/50 for delete/keep. Without a consensus for deletion these pages usually stay. Also, being on wikia not does not mean it shouldn't be on wikipedia. We're trying to create a one-stop shop. As for the "allusions" page, it has been nominated for deletion several times and survived. It will probably be nominated again, most likely with the same results. - Peregrinefisher 00:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia has a nice definition of what is usually considered encyclopedic, and unless justifiable you can assume that it isn't. Trivia is always considered unencyclopedic, because it usually involves fanboy information. Special guest stars are trivia, because they are "special guests" and not "recurring guests". Goofs fall under trivia. Quotes have their own Wiki site. Featured music is also trivia, because there is nothing special about it, it changes each episode. Just because you want to note it as a fan doesn't make it any less unencyclopedic, which is where Wikia comes in. Visit some of the episode pages, you'll find that many have the information you are trying to put in a Wikipedia page. There is no such thing as a "one stop shop". If you are linking to another Wikipedia page then that's the same as linking to a Wikia page. You aren't putting all this information into one page, you are creating 130 pages, which is hardly a "one stop shop". Keep it where it belongs. Oh, and the fact that "Allusions" has been nominated and never deleted doesn't change the fact that it's in the wrong place. It is relevant, because the allusions are so relevant to the show, just not this site. They are still unencyclopedic, and should be at Wikia. Bignole 05:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. This discussion has happened with many list of episode pages and the result has been to keep them. Instead of trying to get rid of just this page you might put your effort into creating consensus to remove all lists like this. You could start here. If the general rule becomes that pages like this don't belong on wikipedia then I would support deletion. - Peregrinefisher 06:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Just because a bunch of fans get together to overrule policy doesn't make it correct. Policy is not guideline. Everything you wish to add to a single episode is fancruft, and by doing so a violation of policy about this encyclopedia. Just because currently other shows are getting away with it does not make it "standard". Not everyone can monitor everything, and you usually have fans creating/editing things of that nature. Also, by creating this page, and the 130 other pages of episodes you will be deleting information that already exists. Everyone of the episodes have already been created on Wikia (in their proper place), all you have to do is click their titles. YOU are creating the redundancy, because they already exist. Bignole
I would like to point you all to this page Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes which explains the guideline for creating show pages. It stipulates that you do a Show Page (i.e. Smallville (TV series)), then you do a Season page (i.e. Smallville season 5) (you'll note it says "logical division" and an entire list of episodes altogether is not a division), then you do episode pages. Also, note that this page is part of the Wikipedia:Centralized discussion page, which is about discussing changes to Wikipedia Policy, where Wikipedia:WikiProject List of Television Episodes was created by a user bypassing Wiki's policy change page. Even the WikiProject page lists the CD page as policy, in it's "additional guidelines" section. The question now is not about who is right, because technically, both the season page and the list page is a format for creating the TV show, but the question is which has the right of way. Preference for one style or the other is an opinion, and we know what opinions are here at Wikipedia. If the List page had been created first I would yield, but the Season pages were created months before this page and they are in better working order (minus some changes that need to be made to the summaries and a coulpe other fixer-ups, but much better than the List page). This isn't about what editors prefer, but about which was used first. The Season pages have seniority over the List page. Bignole
  • Keep as a standard, conventional list of episodes. Not being a Smallville fan, I don't understand all this talk of "allusions". At the moment the page looks hideous and is in need of a massive cleanup. Summaries need rewriting to be more encyclopaedic. The images are superfluous: they are mainly there for decoration, don't add anything to the content, and are thus, against fair use policy. The problem with this type of show is that it attracts early teen fanboys to add unproffessional elements. I'd rather see it deleted than be kept in it's current awful state. The JPStalk to me 19:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but do not create individual episode articles until the season articles are well-referenced, episode by episode. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 19:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Per request for review of my vote (see User_talk:Armedblowfish#List_of_Smallville_episodes), I've noticed that there seems to be two issues being discussed here: a) should individual episode articles be created and b) should the episodes be listed all on one page, or by season.
    • For the first issue, as I stated above, I have no problem with individual episode as long as the season articles are first well referenced, episode by episode. a google search for Smallville episodes reveals a large number of hits, suggesting that this shouldn't be a problem. You should, of course, also use the episodes themselves (primary sources) as references, see {{cite visual}} and {{cite episode}}. However, please be aware of WP:OR#Primary_and_secondary_sources, which explains acceptable uses of primary sources. In addition, while a number of the google hits may not meet WP:RS for factual information about the episodes, citing them for their opinions and analysis (with attribution) shouldn't be a problem.
    • As for the second issue, it was initially my understanding that season articles would be preferred if there were no individual episode articles, and a list would be preferred if there were individual episode articles. However, if I was wrong about this, and individual episode articles are created, but season articles are kept instead of one big list, consider creating a category for Smallville episodes as a compromise. The category could be organized by season/episode number instead of alphabetically, see Category:Stargate SG-1 episodes for an example. — Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 21:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the pages need to be well referenced. I think this is best done on each episodes own page so I have included a references section on each (see here). Currently it just lists where the featured music info comes from but it can be expanded easily. This will allow for different references for each episode as needed. The season pages weren't well referenced and hopefully this will move us in the right direction. - Peregrinefisher 21:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not exactly sure how referencing each episode individually would be easier on the individual pages. Wouldn't it be better to start by providing minimal per-episode references on the season pages, and expand to individual episode pages when you have enough references to draw material from to justify doing so? If it's a matter of organization, see m:Cite/Cite.php. (Of course, as one of the editors ultimately writing the articles, how you go about referencing them is up to you. Consider this advice. Having well-referenced episode articles will make them less likely to be deleted as non-notable fancruft.) Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 22:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Too tell you the truth I don't really know how to reference stuff very well. I know there's a giant page on how to do it but could you give me a quick tutorial on how I should reference say trivia from Imdb and quotes from wikia? Thanks. - Peregrinefisher 22:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, to use inline references (Cite.php), you basically enclose the citation in <ref> and </ref> tags after the piece of text you are referencing, and put <references /> on the bottom of the page in a section entitled "References" (or possibly "Citations"). See {{imdb}} for citing the IMDB. For example, <ref name="IMDBlamo">{{imdb name|id=2238804|name=Adrian Lamo}}</ref> produces:[1] (Click on the little number to see the reference at the bottom of this AfD). By using the name attribute,[1] I can use a reference multiple times,[1] while only having to type out the whole thing once, and only having it appear once on the bottom of the page.[1] For citation after the first one, I simply type <ref name="IMDBlamo" />. Wikia does not actually meet WP:RS, being not only another wiki, but part of our very own Wikimedia foundation, thus constituting a self-reference. (You can of course link to Wikia, just not as a reference.)
Other templates you can use in between the ref tags (or outside them) are {{cite visual}}[2], {{cite episode}},[3] and {{cite web}}[4]. (Also see Category:Citation templates.) You can, of course, construct your own citations by hand.[5] (If you want to see the text for the later examples, just look at the wiki source for this page.) I hope that helps, but please feel free to ask me for more help on my talk page at any time. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 23:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Factual correction: Wikia is not actually part of the Wikimedia Foundation. However, Wikia, Inc. was also founded by Jimmy Wales, like the Wikimedia Foundation. In any case, it still doesn't meet WP:RS. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 02:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Cool. I'll start using them. - Peregrinefisher 23:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you take a look at Pilot (Smallville episode)? I put it in how I thought it should go but the whole references section disappeared. You can see my attempt if you click on edit the page. There may be a problem because the page is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0702990/quotes. - Peregrinefisher 23:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
'Kay. Everything after the Quotes section disappeared because of a mistyped </ref> tag. Basically, it thought everything in the article after the initial opening <ref> tag was part of the reference. (An easy mistake to make.) Also see Category:External link templates, which among other things lists different IMDB templates for different URL formats. However, apparently {{imdb title}} adds a closing slash that causes the particular URL you want to link to to break. So I substed it (note that substing does not work withing <ref> tags) and fixed the URL manually. I also appended the date I retreived the URL on, which is standard for {{cite web}}, and a good idea for web references (in case the page changes or disappears). Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 01:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per JPS and Armedblowfish - no particular reason to delete. The template even states it is a work in progress. In addition, having had a look at them, the "season" pages are also in need of having the "magazine teaser" style summaries re-written. Exclamation marks are always a bad sign in an encyclopedia. Bob talk 19:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I created a created a page for Pilot (Smallville episode) so we can start working on the formatting for the individual pages. For now I won't work on any others because we don't want them to diverge from the series page's entries. At some point we should make a big push and do them all at once. Contact me if you want get together and do that. - Peregrinefisher 19:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Currently this page looks pretty ugly to me, clean it up and sumarise the episodes. Keep long info on the ep. page it's self. Also be more careful when chosing stills for episodes and make show they offer criticaal commentery for the episode in question and that the imagery info being conveyed is also conveyed in the summary. thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 14:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - If someone knows an episode's title and doesn't know what season it's in, this is a much more convenient way to find it. The page should, of course, be cleaned up properly and should list all the episodes with a link to the individual episode's page (even if the episode doesn't have its own page yet). There can be a small summary of the episode as well, but I don't think that's necessary. Emily (Funtrivia Freak) 19:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
But I don't want to delete the season pages, Peregrinefisher! If each episode can't have its own page, we should keep the season pages and link the episodes from this episode list page to the appropriate season page! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Luvtheheaven (talk • contribs) 19:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC).
The plan is to move every bit of information from the season pages to this page. Nothing will be lost. If you look at List_of_Smallville_episodes#Season_1:_.282001-2002.29 and at Smallville (season 1) you will see that everything has been copied at least and some of it has been improved. Note the individual episode pages. - Peregrinefisher 20:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
You're ignoring Policy that I provided regarding TV episode pages and their associated pages. It doesn't matter what opinion is, not every episode deserves a page. Also, the votes were not for deleting the Season pages, please realize that your opinion is not 100% carried through the group. I think that a List of the Episodes 1-whatever is fine, but you are carrying information that is redundant fromm other articles. The DVD list is in the main page, which makes it irrelevant to the List page. You are not respecting the policy of TV pages (which is what it is, as per the Centralized Discussion which determines policy change). I think the List will be fine if it's just a list with the basics, and a link to the season pages for details on the Episodes. It does state explicitly in the CD that expanded plots are not for the episode pages. I have no problem with expanding the information in general per episode on the Seasonal pages. We can make both pages work to our benefit, but I think (and since the idea that most episode pages can't support themselves is clear in the CD) creating 100+ episode pages is unnecessary unless relevant. With a nice, condensed, clean plot summary (slightly smaller than what's on the season page) we can create enough space to include "relevant" trivia (as per Wikipedia:Trivia suggests) that manage to keep what everyone wants. It's clear that everyone wants to keep the List page, but it's clear that atleast 3 of the votes are not for deleting the Season pages. I think a nice compromise can be reach with regard to both articles, can you can be rest assured that votes for deletion on the season pages will go about the same as this one. Most people that edit those pages don't know of this page, as I didn't know of it until just recently (and I've been editing Smallville since I joined). Bignole
  • Comment: It looks like we have a strong consensus. - Peregrinefisher 19:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If the Season pages are deleted but their content preserved, the edit histories should be preserved somewhere for GFDL reasons. You could either a) copy the edit histories to the talk page of the episode list or b) make them redirects to the episode list. I would reccomend the latter, as it preserves the most information. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 22:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I think redirecting is the way to go, for the above reason. - Peregrinefisher 23:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Currently, Peregrinefisher and I are discussing how we can make both pages their best, while preserving them (seeing as that is what most people want, and how it will turn out if a "merger" is proposed on the season pages ((i know those editors, they'll fight hard)). If anyone is curious about the details of the discussion see Peregrinefisher's talk page, and mine for the back and forth of it all. It's a little much to put here without bogging the page. Bignole 01:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This dispute does not seem to be about "This" article, but rather the concept of individual episode articles. The way I've seen it done on many articles is that you have a List of episodes article, then when that gets big you trim the list down to brief summaries, then link to something that goes into more detail about each episode (such as an episode article, season article, or story arc article). WP:LISTS states that lists can be articles in list format or navigation aids, or a little of both. Allowing the reader to view all the titles and air dates on one list is very much a navigational aid, and it can be an article in that not every reader wants to dive into that much detail just to identify an episode. I suggest not creating episode articles yet, instead change the links on the List of episodes article to point to article sections on the season articles. -- Ned Scott 02:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carnism

Not notable neologism, per WP:NEO. With a limited number of search engine hits, I doubt the accuracy of this article. Likely hoax, it is only used officially on a vegan-pro website, which, according to the article, was the coin-er of the term. Iolakana•T 17:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The article was created by Melanie Joy, leading me to believe it is vanity, since the article claims that Melanie Joy is the creator of the term. One of the links provided above is also an article written by Melanie Joy, and another is a blog entry. This term is far too obscure to merit inclusion at this time. If in several years it becomes commonplace, then it will have a place, but Wikipedia shouldn't act as its springboard in common use- Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The lack of widespread use outside of a small circle of animal rights activists also leads it to fail verifiablity. There have been no mentions in mainstream press regarding this neologism. --Wafulz 19:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment While I agree the initial incarnation of the article wasn't entirely neutral, I would argue that your edit resulted in a negative spin. However, that's besides the point.

  • Do Not DeleteThere has yet to be a term that denotes the eating preference of the dominant group that being meat-eaters. We have plenty of terms denoting the nondominant groups.

  • Do Not Delete The term is important and necessary. The term canist (carnism) is separate and distinct from carnivore and omnivore; it points to the ideology involved when once chooses to consume meat.

  • "Do Not Delete" Despite the assertions of the initial poster, "carnism" is becoming increasingly widely used throughout the vegetarian community. Google includes citations from Seventh Day Adventist sites, as well as more mainstream vegan ones. Carnism also appears in the literature of several languages. And, finally, carnism is also an accepted term in the psychological literature. As for bias, Dr. Joy is entirely right in pointing out that carnism is biased in exactly the same way that all all ideological descriptors are biased. If the editors wouldn't delete "communism" or any other "-ism" for being biased, then how do they differentiate "carnism?"

  • Delete. Original research, non-notable neologism. Rohirok 05:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Article states that the term was coined in 2001. If true, this makes it a neologism. WP:NEO is then the relevant guideline, and it says that before we have articles on a neologism, we need reliable sources that are about the term, not just that use the term. For notability, we require that the reliable sources be independent. And, in order to be able to write an article adhering to the policy on having a neutral point of view, we require multiple reliable sources. Right now we have no sources. In the article history we have one source that is not independent and may or may not be reliable. We don't satisfy WP:NEO and thus won't be able to satisfy WP:V and WP:NPOV, so the article needs to be deleted. GRBerry 05:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete As a sometimes carnist, what I read in the re-edit by the original author showed neither “an incredible bias” nor an “unbalanced viewpoint”. The “see also” section is evidence of this in that the links range from diet, ideologies and different types of consumption for comparison and contrast that relate to carnism to offer more expansive comprehension. With regard to the statement that “Widipedia is not a soapbox”, the article does not appear to be delivering any sort of speech, appeal or political tirade favoring either vegetarianism, carnism or the lifestyle choice of breatharians. It is simply clarifying a dominant belief system with regard to human consumption. There is no evidence of advocacy, self-promotion or advertising. Though carnism may not be widely known, it is discussed in the recently published book Vegetarians and Vegans in America Today. --Lexnay 20:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete I am the author of the article. I understand and respect Wikipedia's policy about neologisms. I do, however, want to clear up the misconception that CaptainKtainer ("A couple of Seventh-Day Adventist sites and a few vegans") and others have that carnism has not appeared in sufficient professional sources. As well as having been discussed in two radio interviews and on various Web sites, the following are publications in which it has apperared, either in reference to the concept or fully delineating its construction (and yes, many--though not all--have been written by me):

    • Comment: Why don't you add these sources to the article itself? That would help your case. All of these votes of "Do Not Delete" don't count for much (if anything), since they've come from new, single-purpose accounts, which hold little to no weight in voting according to Wikipedia policy. Rohirok 10:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Also, please help us by showing us which ones are about the term, as required by WP:NEO, instead of just using the term. At a first glance, the ones that would be most persuasive if about the term would be those by people other than you and those in academic journals (versus activist/lifestyle journals). For non-web sources, adding appropriate quotes to the article's talk page may help, but better yet would be to quote and cite in the article. GRBerry 13:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination. I believe this is clearly not what wiki intended per WP:NEO. "wiki is not a dictionary". The article is a primary sourced article by the author and coiner of the phrase, which thus counts as original research per WP:OR - it could easily have been "omnivorism". The author is attempting to introduce a political ideology out of something so universal, and automatic that it does not involve choice at all. The introduction of choice into the consumption of meat is, I suspect, with the agenda of eradicating the human consumption of meat. WP:NOT soapbox. "Carnism" scores 121 unique Ghits out of about 459. The saying does not appear to have gained widespread usage, and the originator herself would probably be excluded from wiki for not being sufficiently notable. 14 unique hits out of 26 for "Dr Melanie Joy", a name shared by another physician in the United Kingdom. No relevant Amzhits for Melanie Joy. Ohconfucius 06:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not Delete: As a Universtiy Lecturer, I think this entry be left on wikipedia. I also think it should be refined to include more details of its definition and application. I will be teaching about this ideology in a course in the Fall - to a class of 300 students. There are significant mentions of carnism in acadmic literature (some are referenced above) and the coining of the term has had sinficiant impacts for discourse surrounding dominant ideologies and their unmarked nature. I have made reference to this in my own writings and will soon be presenting on carnism at an international conference. I would consider the limited number of search engine hits as relating to the the term be a recent creation and the number will increase rapidly in coming times. I strongly recommend this article not be deleted - i will help my student specifically, and i think it needs to be discussed mroe broadly. Deletion of this article will reinforce its necessity to be exposed as an unmarked ideology - as it will further illustrate its pervasiveness.

      • Please do not bite the newbies. Just because this person does not have a grasp of Wikipedia deletion policy (did your first edit to Wikipedia reflect the full spectrum of Wikipedia policy?) does not mean that we should completely discard his/her opinions. Meatpuppetry isn't the fault of the meatpuppet... it's the fault of the meatpuppeteer. Yes, we warn new users that their votes might be discounted... but let's be gentle in pointing that out, and remember to address the opinions, not necessarily missteps in policy. Captainktainer * Talk 12:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Do you have reliable sources for any of that? Which conference, and do they publish a list of papers containing the title of your work, which should contain the term carnism? Discounting Melanie Joy's writings, there are (possibly) two mentions. Aside from taking the word of single-purpose accounts, and yourself, there's no way of us knowing whether or not the only other two publications mentioned actually discuss the term at length; as such, Carnism does not meet the verifiability policy. We have a guideline for this sort of thing: WP:NEO. Could you please explain how this word meets the guidelines? Could you explain why Encyclopedia Britannica would choose to include this word? As it is, it seems as though you're asking us to include in the encyclopedia a word that "might" become big. I "might" end up being President of the Union oof the United States and Greater Canada in 2046, but there's no article on President (name deleted) on Wikipedia. Many possibilities exist within our quantum universe, but not every one of them is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Captainktainer * Talk 12:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • "Do Not Delete" I'm not too hip to editing Wikipedia, and only just (finally) registered to make this opinion more "official," but I do often use the site as a first point of reference when researching a new phrase or concept. I suppose now that I've finally registered, I will be more actively involved in contributing to the site, so I wouldn't consider this a single-purpose account. As someone who relies on Wikipedia frequently, I think it would be a shame if those who do come across the term "carnist" cannot look it up at Wikipedia due to some sort of bias against words that are not as commonly used by the media as, say, "flexitarian." As the voice behind An Animal-Friendly Life, a website with an international readership -- and the composer of an above-linked blog entry using the term -- I have found the word invaluable in describing a mindset that has otherwise not previously been sufficiently described. Is the purpose of Wikipedia to validate the "gatekeepers" or to inform the public? Removing this term from Wikipedia will make it less accurate, not more so.

  • Delete - this doesn't seem encyclopaedic. No independent evidence that it is an ideology rather than just a word coined by one person. BlueValour 03:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
    • This doesn't make any sense. The word carnism was coined specifically to describe an ideology. The evidence is all around that people choose to consume meat, and to defend that practice, even though they don't need to eat it. To choose to eat meat (carnism) is as ideological as the choice not to (vegetarianism or veganism), so how can you say that there is no evidence that carnism is not an ideology? That's the whole point of the word. There has not been an effective term 'til now that describes the doctrine of eating meat, and carnivore doesn't make that cut because it describes the dietary needs of an animal, rather than one's actual choices.Epskionline 04:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
      • I eat meat; I also eat eggs, fish, vegetables, fruit and nuts. I do not choose to eat meat on 'ideological grounds' any more than I eat fruit on ideological grounds. People are by nature omnivores - examine your teeth. This word was coined on the misconception on why peple eat meat. BlueValour 15:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment In reference to the IP address used (I am the 'University Lecturer') above as indicative of my 'first time' editing, i am currently on holiday and using a friends machine. I have been active in Open Source/GPL activities for many years. I have followed the rise of Wikipedia, and made (only a handful) of contributions over a long period of time (this is not a sinlge purpose account as charged). To actually address the issue at hand - which i think any discussion of this should focus on on - it embodies whether this term is useful, insightful and encyclopedic. It is a relativley new term which is directly reflected in its limited 'visible' usage. This is also sigificantly restrictetd to academia. These are not in any way valid reasons for its deletion. Most new concepts that have substantial merit come from the 'margins' of social engagement in acedmic discourse well before they began to have influence and be adtoped more broadly. Need i provide multitude examples of this? Marxism is just one - how many people no wear (albeit significantly misconstrued) a Che Guevara print T-shirt? When social critique pertans to the status quo or what is considered 'normal' in dominant discourse, the responses here are expected. They further illustrate the tenacity of such critiques. The recent comments by 'I eat meat' very clearly illustrate this. Further to this, not all academic papers are either published (i.e. conference proceedings, dissertations, etc. This is where most new concepts receive significant attention) or published in readily available sources outside academia. These again indicate how many positions for deletion included above are not consistent. Carnism is an ideology, if unmarked, just like sexism (and many others) is. At a time sixism was considered 'normal' and thus an ideology. I think i have made some clear points and hope people address the issue at hand with a reflexive critical awareness and not in a similar vein to some of those above. This issue is worthy of such critical consideration and, as such, very worthy of being included in Wikipedia.

      • Comment You, a supporter of keeping the term on Wikipedia, have actually just given the strongest reason to delete so far. "It is a relatively new term which is directly reflected in its limited 'visible' usage. This is also sigificantly restrictetd to academia." According to our guideline on Neologisms (WP:NEO), a neologism of that sort is precisely the kind of word that does not deserve an article on Wikipedia. People wear a Che Guevara print T-shirt. That has entered the social zeitgeist. Assuming that you're actually correct about this term being encyclopedic, come back in ten years when it's reached that level of popularity. Come back when it has achieved substantial "critical consideration" that you think it deserves. In the meantime, Wikipedia is not a soapbox for Melanie Joy and others to try to spread a vegetarian ideology, or to make some kind of point about social consciousness.

  • I will personally delete the article. I think it's unfortunate that certain people on Wikipedia feel the need to bully others' articles. I notice you have a few articles proposed for deletion, and I can't say I agree with any of your decisions. I have written a good deal for Wikipedia, and I don't think I will continue to do so. The "wiki" spirit of the whole thing is really overthrown when people create profiles displaying their contributions and, to make things worse, feel they can singlehandedly (and arbitrarily) decide whether something is worthy of inclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.136.17.123 (talk • contribs) .

  • You can't delete it unless you are an admin. Please refrain from personal attacks (you can get blocked). Nobody is bullying anything. If you're talking to me, I only have one other article proposed for deletion. Well, it's commonly accepted practice here for user pages to display contributions. There is no single-handed and arbitrary deletion here: this is a debate which is open to all users, yourself included to have a mature evaluation. The article does not cite anything particularly significant about this person, so why should we include an article on them? If there are sigificant things which are verifiable, you are welcome to add them to the article, and to let us know that you have done so.

[edit] Dysartes

This is an article written about the Dysartes website by one of the founders of said website (who is referenced in the article). Not only is that methodology questionable, the website is no more notable than any other 40K fansite or community.

  • Strong delete Alexa ranking of about one million, give or take. A Google search of "Secured email" brings up thousands of hits, but most of them are unrelated because it's a common phrase. The article doesn't meet criteria set out in WP:WEB or WP:CORP, and has no independent sources to help it pass WP:V.

[edit] Gustavo Moya

Not a notable person. No assertions are made about importance, and some exploratory research indicates that there are none to make. To give a general idea: google hits for "gustavo moya": 571, many of which appear to be about different people. Hits for gumoz (an alias given in the article): 479, many of which are forum pages. Hits for ixaya gustavo (Ixaya is the open source community mentioned in the article): 13. I understand that Google isn't the last word on notability, but I think it's a reasonably admissible metric for gauging the notability of someone who is reportedly heavily involved in technology.

[edit] Save Stargate SG-1

Rejected as a speedy non notable group of people. Non notable campaign and group of people Nuttah68 20:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as {{nocontent}}. It's a one sentence article, followed by 20 external links, which, for me, easily qualifies under CSD A3. -- Kicking222 20:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    I did consider speedy under A3, but I believe it might be possible for a decent article to be formed either at this location, or merged with another article. So I'm not sure if this counts as a keep !vote or not, but certainly don't speedy. Petros471 20:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    Why would my "speedy delete" vote count as a "keep" vote? Did my Kerry vote count for Bush? (Well, knowing Bush's seediness, maybe it did.) No, my speedy delete is a speedy delete; if it can't be speedily deleted, it should just be deleted (but I have no idea why, as other people have pointed out, it couldn't be speedied under A7 or A3). -- Kicking222 12:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    I was referring to my comment being a 'keep' (or otherwise), not yours. Of course you meant you wanted the article deleted. I was disagreeing that it should be speedy deleted. In case the admin closing this decides to vote count I'm recommending do not delete and redirect to Stargate SG-1. Petros471 12:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I've removed the speedy tag, as I don't want to overrule the previous admin, and also the fact that there are other users who don't want it speedied (see above) seems to me to mean it shouldn't be. Certainly it will end up deleted, but if there's anything that should in fact be merged, letting it go through AfD will allow that to happen. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 08:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, no content and not notable anyway. Shows get cancelled, guys. Gazpacho 09:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete this article is a borderline blog. Basically, the only encyclopedic feature of the article is that it states there is a "movement" to save the series. Little sources that would analyse and quantify the "movement", though, aside of having links to some random forum threads and having a few links to sites that kind of sprung up last week, just to show that this nebulous "movement" does exist. And on top of that, links to articles in chronological format... ouch! This does warrant a mention in Stargate SG-1, but there's little that can be merged from this article. This is a good example of how not to link to external sites... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 12:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • On reconsidering, looking at what's already at the Stargate SG-1 article, and the further votes, I've decided to go ahead and speedy end this. You're right, there's really nothing that needs merging. I'm sure any show has fans trying to stop it from being cancelled, and that's the only fact not already at the target page. There is little enough content to speedy delete, but I'm going to make it a redirect to hopefully avoid recreation, and on the off chance anyone does want the history extant to merge something. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 18:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable poet, author, and film producer whose self-published books have Amazon sales ranks in the millions. No reliable sources given or likely to be found. Delete --Huon 20:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I also nominate Ayres' publication, Van Gogh's Ear: Best World Poetry & Prose, which gives less than 10 Google hits, and his company, French Connection Films, which fails WP:CORP, both by the same author. The combination gives an impression of advertisement and/or vanity. --Huon 20:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Van Gogh's Ear: Best World Poetry & Prose

  • Keep Van Gogh's Ear. Given the contributors' list claimed, Van Gogh's Ear seems a potentially notable small-press publication. No opinion on the other two. Espresso Addict 22:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Van Gogh's Ear should stay. Over 100 Van Gogh's Ear: Best World Poetry & Prose Google hits came up on a more thorough search. The contributors' list does prove that Van Gogh's Ear is an important publication. --Jimmy Russell 22:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete both per nom. We have no proof that this laundry list of celebrities isn't a hoax, or at least an exaggeration. Besides, calling them "contributors" is disingenuous: I don't believe that Marilyn Monroe, Charles Manson, James Dean or the Marquis DeSade knowingly contributed to this zine. You'd be surprised how easy it is for any low-budget zine to get permission to run excerpts of writings by famous authors. wikipediatrix 03:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Proof can be made to keep Van Gogh's Ear. The list of celebrities is accurate, and not at all an exaggeration. Contact the estates of Keith Haring, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and the estates of others listed who are no longer living and they will provide proof. Same for the living, who are 97% of the contributors. Charles Manson's letter was sent from prison, addressed to Van Gogh's Ear, and a scan of it appears in the book to prove its validity. Van Gogh's Ear is a respected anthology. It is distributed by major distributors in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. I've taken the time to research the facts. Jimmy Russell 03:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Jimmy Russell, whose only contributions have been to AfDs about his articles/to the articles themselves, has also created Van Gogh's Ear. For now, I abstain. --Wafulz 15:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Explanation. I am new at Wikipedia and had initially made a mistake in putting "Best World Poetry & Prose" as part of the Van Gogh's Ear title. Upon learning my mistake I couldn't figure out how to correct the title right away, so just did a new page with the correct title. Could I have counted on someone else to have corrected the title? I have put the AfD notice with this link on the correct page for Van Gogh's Ear. I guess I did a better job with my page for Steve Algozino. --Jimmy Russell 15:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep both all authors and books are notable --Kitia 16:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Notability (books) Brian 16:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)btball
  • Question: What about the received honors and reviews of the notable poets/authors published in a collection? Don't they count? --Jimmy Russell 17:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
That's not how it works. wikipediatrix 19:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
It's good that Wikipedia judges collections by the merits of the poets and authors they contain instead of the other way around. And Van Gogh's Ear does have more importance than some of the other poetry anthologies already approved on Wikipedia. References, book reviews, honors, etc. will soon be posted. --Jimmy Russell 20:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
So, uh, why did you vote "Delete" above?? And why did you blank out the French Connection Films article? [43] Blanking out an article, even if it's one you created, constitutes vandalism. wikipediatrix 00:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Change of opinion: The three articles I nominated developed quite differently.
  1. Ian Ayres by now is about another Ian Ayres who is unrelated to the poet (and, to me, looks notable enough). Thus, speedy keep seems to be the way to go.
  2. French Connection Films has been blanked by the author and sole contributor. To me, that's not vandalism; rather, it can be speedy deleted by criterion G7: Author's request.
  3. Van Gogh's Ear (Van Gogh's Ear: Best World Poetry & Prose was turned into a redirect) by now seems to be in slightly above-average shape for anthologies of modern poetry. It could, of course, do with some more sources, but they may be found. Since at least some of the contributions are originally published in Van Gogh's Ear (and not just reprints), I'll change my opinion on this one to weak keep. --Huon 09:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I wish some of the other anthologies already accepted on Wikipedia would be compared. It's obvious Van Gogh's Ear belongs as much as--if not more than--they do. And notability is being demonstrated. Many more references and citations are available. Jimmy Russell 19:48, 31 August 2006

  • Weak, grossed out keep My google readings seem to indicate that this isn't WP:NFT, which these sort of neologisms often seem to be. I think it's on the level of Donkey Punch and Dirty Sanchez ie. mysoginistic and kind of juvenile, but nonetheless relevant to our (often mysoginistic and kind of juvenile) culture. However, I won't kick a bit if the consensus is for delete. Dina 22:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete No one outside of Big Brother knows who this [personal attack removed] is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.48.99.182 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep per myself above. (|-- UlTiMuS 23:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect/Merge: A recent AfD for Drew Daniel (winner of a BB season) resulted in Merge/Redirect pertinent info with the episode article. Consensus was that seperate contestants on the show without their own WP:BIO notability (aside from appearing on the show) don't warrant seperate articles. I don't see why the same logic can't apply here. ju66l3r 23:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Person is notable for repeat involvement in hit show. Nomination reason is illogical. Basically nom is saying "Subject is not notable for anything except what they're notable for". --Rob 23:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that all this person has done is appeared in a reality television show, and according to the article, not much else. Appearing on Big Brother doesn't automatically make a person worthy of having an article. talk to JD wants e-mail 23:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Ok JD you're right lets get rid of every single Reality contestant who has only done Reality TV. NOT that is stupid. Kaysar from Big Brother 6 should have his on article because he was one of the major players in that game --Kevmicester2000 01:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
        • I didn't say that either. This guy, James Rhine, has an article. In that article is only information about his time in the Big Brother House. This information should be where it belongs - on the article of the season or seasons that he took part in. The article isn't meant to be about his time in the Big Brother House, it's meant to be about him; and when you take away the Big Brother information, there's nothing left to suggest that he is notable enough to have his own article. talk to JD wants e-mail 01:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This is basically copied from the List of Big Brother houseguests (USA season 7) article. He hasn't done anything unique that people know him for outside of the house. The article also goes against WP:BIGBRO guidelines about housemate articles. Geoking66 02:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Since you put it like that I agree with you I'm sorry about my rant --Kevmicester2000 02:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Subject is at least as notable as Josh Logan who survived deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Josh Logan. Logan is from Rock Star: Supernova, while this subject is from 2 seasons of Big Brother, which is a more notable (based on longevity and ratings and global duplication) series. The article may meed some work, but notability should not be in question. --After Midnight 0001 01:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect/Merge The information in this article can be found in the Big Brother pages. A-Supreme 03:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As per After Midnight, James is at least as notable as Josh Logan. He's appeared on not just one but two seasons of a popular television show. The article on him certainly could be expanded more with additional information about his biography or other activites, but certainly that's no reason to delete it. --Benjaminx 05:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well known and notable in media and general population of his region. Unitedroad 12:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete fancruft. Big Brother narratives involves many people, and it's best to keep it on in a coherent place: the main article for that series. The JPStalk to me 15:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment/Question - For those who suggest Delete/Redirect/Merge and that the information should go on the "page for the show". This is an unique case where the individual appears in 2 seasons as a contestant, so would you duplicate the information on both the Season 6 and the Season 7 pages? That would seem to get things out of synch to me. How would you suggest to resolve? --After Midnight 0001 15:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I would set this page as a redirect to the article of the first series the guy appeared in, then put a note or something in his section of that article saying he was also in Big Brother 7: All-Stars, and link it to that article. talk to JD wants e-mail 17:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
      • But then what would you put in his article? If it's in the Big Brother series page, it surely should contain information about his actions in the house. If it's only going in one page though, it would be really wierd to see information about Big Brother 7 on the Big Brother 6 page or vice-versa. Since he's appeared on two different seasons of a popular show, I think it's important for him to have his own article. --Benjaminx 23:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment This article is useless. There is a subsection for James on both series six and series seven's pages. Geoking66 01:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Contested prod for porn star who has only appeared in two films. Delete as per Wikipedia:Notability (pornographic actors). --Allen3 talk 22:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Performing in two porn films (and to date, he's only made two) does not make a worthy candidate for an article in an encyclopedia. Lest someone start the argument that he was the cover model of one and is a "Falcon Studios Exclusive"; he was the cover model of a film about actors with big cocks. He has one. When he's been a Falcon Exclusive for a few more films, then write an article. His husband, Pierre Fitch, can't make up his mind—in an interview he states that he's left Falcon (after five films); his website still describes him as a "Falcon Exclusive".—Chidom talk  07:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Same editor created an article on Garreth dottin (also probably speedied by now) claiming him to be the president of Viridian Villages, but only mentioning in the article his online gaming habits.

  • Comment User:1ne has insisted that his brief nomination remain. For the aid of commenters, here is my remark posted a minute later which gives the facts of the case:
This article was previously speedy deleted as an "apparent hoax". Technically, such a deletion is outside of the scope of the WP:CSDs. A (very sparse) DRV consensus overturned this deletion, holding that AfD should properly determine whether the article is a hoax, especially since sources are given. This matter is submitted to AfD for consideration. This is a procedural nomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 23:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have my doubts that koumpounophobia is an established term for button phobia, but the phenomenon itself seems to exist, per various news sources. (see talk page). I can't find any scientific sources though, so I'm not sure if news coverage alone makes this one encyclopedic. ~ trialsanderrors 23:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yukon (band)

This article only escapes speedy deletion because the article claims some notability. But that claim is not sufficient. No released CD, no national exposure. Pascal.Tesson 23:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Castle Wars

This page sounds WAY too much like a game guide. Any useful information should be saved in the minigames article. Hemhem20X6 23:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge any relevant info and redirect to RuneScape RuneScape mini-games. Powers T 01:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Edited. Didn't realize the RuneScape mini-games article existed. Powers T 14:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, this fails WP:NOT based on this sentence: Spies are normally the lower level players who cannot make a difference, or simply fanatical Zamorakians or Saradominists. That's not encyclopediac, and even if it were destined for a merge it would need EXTREME overhaul on a lot of the fancruft. To me, it seems as if it's hopelessly fancrufty (after all, it is a wiki about ONE minigame in an MMORPG... Makoto 01:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into RuneScape mini-games, per nom. Castle Wars is one of the more popular minigames, and deserves a more extended coverage in the minigames article than it has already. This article seems to have been crufted up somewhat less than some of the others, but I am skeptical about whether an individual minigame deserves an article, although it is not as bad an idea for an article as Shield of Arrav. I believe a few people have been talking about merging anyway. CaptainVindaloo t c e 01:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:NOT, a game guide. wikipediatrix 03:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

*Delete. Almost the entire article is cruft apart from the first paragraph or two - if anyone wishes to save more of the article they can copy and paste or rewrite into the mini-games article. I had intended to do something with this article but haven't had the time, but now I'm taking out anything which IMO is worth keeping and porting it over. Interested parties, please take a look at the RuneScape mini-games article, but I reckon the job will already be done by the time an admin makes a judgement on this. QuagmireDog 23:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete as the relevant material has now been merged into the mini-games article (I struck through my own previous vote). Fine tuning the contributors' work now contained in the MG article will result in a much better product than continuing to do the crufty-pokey here. QuagmireDog 00:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Could I persuade you to vote for a redirect, then? Powers T 12:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - per above. Wickethewok 14:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge, especially since it has already effectively been done. You guys are ripping my heart out with the infernal AfD's. I have worked hard on trying to keep the crap out of this and other articles, only to see them up for deletion what seems like every week or so. I am almost beginning to see it as a personal vendetta against every article I have worked on, but that would be just a little paranoid, and I am not. Xela Yrag 16:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm sorry if I offended you (or will), but I really don't see the point in having this article. I do play RuneScape, but I find articles like this are not good for Wikipedia. It is a game guide, and is full of opinionated statements too.Hemhem20X6 00:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a place for fancruft and game guides. One example being the Tools section - the fancruft notice on the talk page clearly states that naming and giving descriptions of items is not allowed. Audacious One 04:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Don't really mind that much either way, but I think this should be deleted as a good percentage of it is gamecruft. J.J.Sagnella 21:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, RuneScape mini-games#Castle Wars has more than enough info. This page is pure cruft. GarrettTalk 23:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep But seriously trim down some of the info. Either that, or trim off much of RuneScape mini-games#Castle Wars and link it to here. Castle Wars is one of the more well-known mini-games and probably warrants a little more info than other mini-games.Eruan 19:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
  • CommentEven if it is major, about 99% of the info goes against WP:NOT, as a game guide. The 1% has already been included in RuneScape mini-games#Castle Wars.Hemhem20X6 23:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment The Castle Wars section of RuneScape mini-games -is- this page, with a different opener and the POVcruftGameGuide part of this article removed. When I took the rest of the information over to mini-games, I literally copied and pasted everything beneath the opener and above the 'player types' section, including the tool list. The tool list was collapsed into a few sentences of prose and placed accordingly, the rest was tweaked and slightly reworded to remove NN/guide text. There is little else to be said about the subject whilst remaining this side of relevance, anything additional will fit onto the mini-games article. QuagmireDog 00:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment Ok. But this is now over 5 days old; when will the discussion be closed? Hemhem20X6 00:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Wikipedia is not a game guide. Plus, there's already a better article on the RuneScape Wiki. --Ixfd64 19:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

SPAM. A self-promotion page linked glaringly to the author's products, which I'd also suggest for deletion.
