[edit] Summoning Chess
Non notable chess varient invented by the article's author. Delete. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 00:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Whats so bad about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Team.chaotix (talk • contribs)
- We can't just put an article up about every game or game variation someone invents. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. In other words, subjects should be noteworthy in some way. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 00:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Repeat after me: Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day!. --Kinu t/c 00:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Non notable. --cesarb 00:19, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Sounds like an interesting game. However, it should be on some webpage somewhere, not in wikipedia. -- Nortonew 00:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit conflict
Was a cross-namespace redirect, then got changed into an interwiki redirect, and finally into a soft redirect to meta. Should be deleted for the same reasons cross-namespace redirects on the article namespace are deleted. cesarb 00:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Revert to a cross-namespace re-direct. Georgia guy 00:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Specifically, a re-direct to Help:Edit conflict. Georgia guy 00:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: It seems like we disambiguate for project spaces when there is something real in the namespace. I don't know how this policy applies when there is no non-wiki article to put there. savidan(talk) (e@) 06:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Help:Edit conflict. Angr/talk 09:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect as above. Batmanand 15:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. We have separate namespaces to keep things that matter only to the Wikipedia separated from articles. As a redirect, it defies that. - Liberatore(T) 18:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete What Liberatore said. Gerard Foley 21:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Same thing as above: edit conflict, especially in this redirect, refers to Wikipedia related information. --Jay(Reply) 21:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Leave as redirect, either to meta or to Help. Redirects are cheap. Additionally, this should be on WP:RFD, not here. Stifle 12:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that was a problem for me: it's a redirect, so it should go to RfD; but it's a soft redirect, so probably RfD wouldn't accept it, so it should go to AfD; except that it's not an article, so it should go to MfD; and we also have CSD, PROD and IAR. It sort of fell in an area which is not exactly for any of of the processes, but I had to chose one. --cesarb 17:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nazism in relation to other concepts (disambiguation)
This should be a category, or a list of 'see also's on the Nazism article - not a dab. Dabs by definition disambiguate words and phrases which can serveral unconnected meanings. -Doc ask? 00:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete although I disagree with the nom's suggestion to create a new list. I think Template:Nazism works just fine. -- Wikipedical 00:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per Wikipedical Ruby 01:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per below. ikkyu2 (talk) 03:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep until someone does the work suggested by nom.Deleting articles on the basis that someone else, someday, should merge or replicate their content somewhere else strikes me as inappropriate, especially since the work that the nominator suggests and does not do becomes much harder after the article is deleted. Template:Nazism is fine, but does not at this time include every article linked from the nominated page. ikkyu2 (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)- I just updated the Template. It now includes the two subjects Nazi mysticism and Germanic Neopaganism. Thus, the template now includes 'every article linked from the nominated page.' -- Wikipedical 03:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments As the page creator - I have no problem with Nazism in relation to other concepts (disambiguation) being deleted. I apparently did not understand how things worked. My mistake. It was a complicated series of pages being reorganized. The template is the better solution.--Cberlet 17:26, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Muttar Masti
Delete This page sounds like a joke. I couldn't find any information for Muttar Masti in a Google search. The wiki article contains no references. If anyone can provide evidence that this weird subject is legitimate, please do so. Thanks. Nortonew 00:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Delete. Agreed, this page is a hoax. A "Lindsay Kensington," the 'expert' does not exist and neither do any other characters. I've seen better. -- Wikipedical 00:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Delete. I tagged this as an attack page as well, since it's highly probable that it is. It's either that, or a rather elaborately planned joke (or both). --Kinu t/c 00:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Davis Day
Minor observance of very local interest. 65 unique googles and not all about topic. Either merge with a valid page on Cape Breton / Nova Scotia or delete. ++Deiz 00:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. It's notable, the article needs content added not deletion. -- Wikipedical 01:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Seems verifiable [1], expandable, and noteworthy at least to miners in Nova Scotia. Smerdis of Tlön 01:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- So get expanding... Nobody is saying it isn't real, but plenty of stuff we delete is "real" but far from encyclopedic. That something is "noteworthy to miners in Nova Scotia" is hardly grounds for inclusion in an encyclopedia. I'm sure the price list in their canteen is important to them too. I'm all about the unusual nature of this and hope it turns into a great article, right now it's nothing. ++Deiz 02:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. How many holidays celebrate the death of a striking miner? This is real [2] and highly unusual. -- JJay 01:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- According to Cape Breton Development Corporation the last mine in the area closed in 2001 - is this holiday even observed any more? Wouldn't a better start be an article on William Davis and the statue of him in New Waterford town square, or better still the strike itself (see the BESCO section of Industrial history of Cape Breton Island for a start, albeit directly lifted from [3]). Instead we get articles on the company shop, main street and the water supply? Non notable, so Delete Jxan3000 13:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I would cheerfully also support the merge and redirect of the article into a general article about William Davis (miner), salva veritate. (William Davis is unsurprisingly a disambig page.) Smerdis of Tlön 16:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, Noteworthy thing, it should be expanded. Afonso Silva 13:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, people are calling this notable but I really have to disagree. I just don't see it, looking at the evidence available. Lord Bob 16:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Industrial history of Cape Breton Island and redirect. Peyna 18:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4chan
Delete. Vanity page on minor non-notable message board. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BabbleOn (talk • contribs) The author of this nomination is BabbleOn (talk · contribs), who had at the time of this writing exactly three edits -- two to this AfD, one to today's page of AfDs, none to the article (in other words, no placement of the required AfD notice.)
- Keep, alexa rank 6,146 [4] Kappa 01:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per above. It is one of the most popular message boards of all time, as well. 01:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Are you kidding? This is a huge website (not quite as big as OffTopic.com, but still definitely notable). --
Rory09601:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC) - Keep. 4chan is hardly a "minor non-notable message board" and the fact that a brand-new user headed straight for AfD and completed every step of it successfully except placing the appropriate notice on the article itself pretty much says "bad-faith nomination" to me. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Kappa Ruby 01:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep - Extremely notable. --lightdarkness (talk) 01:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. 4chan is long-standing and highly popular website, and basically the definitive English-language imageboard. I suspect this nomination is based on BabbleOn personally disliking 4chan rather than any good-faith belief that the board is non-notable. Redxiv 01:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep for all of the above reasons, possible bad-faith nom? Snurks T C 03:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Common phrases based on stereotypes
This was proposed for deletion with the reason given "unverified original research" by Doc glasgow, however I don't think PROD is suitable in this case. Another possible reason for would be "Wikipedia is not a dictionary". No actual opinion from me ATM. Kappa 01:21, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with List of ethnic slurs Ruby 01:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- So, you'd want to add a whole lot of unreferenced material to List of ethnic slurs? Why? How would that improve that article?--Doc ask? 08:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment In principle, it's different from Ethnic Slurs - see e.g. the entry Bible thumper. Dlyons493 Talk 01:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per Endomion, else Keep. -- Wikipedical 02:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I can verify more than a few of these having heard them frequently while growing up in the South. This article should be kept or worst case merged. edw
- Keep. This is clearly different from ethnic slurs. A phrase based on a stereotype is not necessarily an ethnic slur (example: "luck of the Irish"), and an ethnic slur is not necessarily a phrase based on a stereotype (example: "whitey"). Many terms would qualify for both lists, though. dbtfztalk 05:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep--Weak bad 07:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - rebuild it with references if you like. ATM nothing is referenced, and it is just a target for racist additions. If this survives, I intend to remove all unreferenced assertions, which as it stands will leave it blank. --Doc ask? 08:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I've referenced Bible thumper which is in everyday use and which is not mergeable into Ethnic slurs Dlyons493 Talk 19:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - completely unreferenced. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 13:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:V. ergot 17:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep and merge. A lot of these are unsourced and unverified. Having said that, like someone mentioned above, I have heard many of these used as "you must be of (x) race/ethnicity/group/etc. to use this otherwise you're racist." I suppose that makes it notable if merged into List of ethnic slurs, but I'm not really sure how these could play out on their own. Otherwise, delete.--み使い Mitsukai 18:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Unsourced, and unverifiable. Quite a few are made up or completely non-notable. This article lacks quality and has a low potential of being quality, while overlapping the already existing List of ethnic slurs. There are already enough categories and lists, rendering this redundant. --Jay(Reply) 21:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This list seems to be relevant if its entries can be proved. Anthony Appleyard 22:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Different from Ethnic Slurs. Wikipedia is WP:NOT paper. Overlap doesn't imply duplication. -AKMask 00:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: This article is—or at least could be—a very useful source of information, e.g. for people who want to avoid using expressions that are based on stereotypes. It has been established, I think, that it is distinct from List of ethnic slurs. Given the sensitive nature of the topic, however, I think each entry should be required to have at least one respectable reference associated with it: a source that verifies that the phrase is or has been in reasonably wide use in some community and is indeed based on a stereotype. Any phrase not satisfying this criterion should be removed from the list. That's my opinion, anyway. dbtfztalk 02:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

- While that sounds like a great idea, this isn't really something that gets reported around in the media. Slang for Eskimos and Aleuts is 'Tundra-monkeys'... sucking on a can with big wet lips is called 'nigger-lipping'. Both of those are based on steotypes (igloos and big lips respectivly) and yet I have a hard time seeing a newspaper print either of those. -AKMask 02:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Liam Herringshaw
Reason why the page should be deleted;
A vanity page. The subject is a real person (and does possess a doctorate) but is does not in any way meet wikipedia's notability guidelines (see e.g. biographies of living persons, academic guidelines, and notability. However, I can at least vouch for his appearance on television (University Challenge). It is not clear from google whether or not he has any academic publications whatsoever (no publications in peer-reviewed journals according to googlescholar [[5]], will update with results of WOS search to confirm), and according to what I can find, he appears to hold no academic post (and certainly no tenured post) in the UK or elsewhere, and nor has he ever, beyond his doctoral studies. Many google hits are either wiki-mirrors or self-submitted reviews and comments, although some do indeed pertain to the subject's academic work (conference abstracts and the like). His last known employment seems to have been as an administrator (non-academic) in the University of Leicester's School of Management. Much of the text of the article is clearly spurious (ie cricketing exploits); and contains obvious puffery (certainly the subject is not widely known in academic circles for his research, nor is he 'reknowned' 'renowned' for anything). It is my strong suspicion that the page has been written or edited by the subject himself or by a close associate for a joke. The subject is not notable enough for either his media appearances (of which there are two, both quiz shows where he appeared as a member of the public) )or his academic work to be included in wikipedia, imho.

The result of the debate was no consensus, default action is keep. Babajobu 04:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Closing admin's rationale, in response to query: AfD is about whether a particular topic is appropriate for Wikipedia and not about the current state of the article. If there are excessive redlinks or inappropriate bluelinks, or if the article is incomplete, these are content issues that can be remedied through normal editing processes outside AfD. In determining whether an article topic is suitable for Wikipedia, the closing admin's responsibility is to determine whether there is consensus on the issue, rather than to decide which side is right. Rationales contrary to Wikipedia policy should not be viewed as contributing to the consensus, and certain egregious flaws in an article (e.g., copyvio) trump consensus, but I don't really see that here: for the most part the debate seemed to be about whether or not this list served a function separate from that of a category. I saw no consensus on this issue (certainly no supermajority) so I closed it as a "no consensus". You can request that the decision be reviewed at Wikipedia:Deletion review, if you like. Hope this helps!
[edit] List of Amstrad CPC games
Delete - the category Amstrad CPC games should be used instead, and contains many more entries than this article. Cpc464 02:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. I once believed in deleting lists because of existing categories, but I've learned from my mistakes. The importance of lists in this situation is to allow red links; categories cannot display red links. -- Wikipedical 02:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete disagree entirely with the redlinks argument, per WP style guidelines: "What should not be linked: Subsidiary topics that result in redlinks (links that go nowhere), such as the titles of book chapters and the songs on albums, unless you're prepared to promptly turn those links into real ones yourself by writing the articles. It's usually better to resist linking these items until you get around to writing an article on each one." This is the reason why a cleanup tag for redlinks exists and right now this page has far too many - the list vs. category argument is a valid one but ONLY if there is additional information in a list that wouldn't be found in a category - this is simply "links" (i.e. what would usually be held in a category), hence another clear contravention of the WP style guide. ++Deiz 02:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- Additional - Many of the pages that are bluelinks here are not aimed at articles about the games they describe (presumably because such articles don't exist), simply the main page of that name... e.g "1942", "The Addams Family", "Anarchy", "The A-Team" to name a few... So there would be even more redlinks here if someone was prepared to go through this listcruftian disaster of mis-links and sort it out. The list is also incredibly incomplete, featuring only games beginning with numbers and A, B, I, U, V, W, X, Y and Z. Now that's Serious Listcruft. ++Deiz 03:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a verifiable list, of potentially great use. Tell me why not to keep, and I may change, but so far all reasons given seem to be frivolous or petty. None are in the Deletion Policy. Batmanand 15:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- Lists and categories do entirely separate jobs when there is information in the list that wouldn't be found in a category. When an incomplete list exists as a massive repository of a) redlinks and b) misdirected blue links, without significant supplementary information (the name of the software company that produced the game is a start but not much of one) it doesn't belong on WP. If you can't see that you aren't reading the policies correctly. Anybody who is voting to "keep" this list is presumably personally guaranteeing that they will undertake work to bring this list in line with WP policy (see WP style guide above). I don't see any evidence of that yet. ++Deiz 16:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. It is redundant to a category, because the games that don't and probably won't have articles on it do not have them for a very good reason: they are utterly non-notable. Full of redlinks. Stifle 12:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of lesbian porn stars
Listcruft given form. I do not see the need for there to be an article in this namespace, as we have the category system that can handle such a list. In fact, we have categories, mainly the Category:LGBT actors, which can be used to denote porn stars of a homosexual nature. Therefore, in lieu of this, I say merge and redirect to an applicable category. Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 02:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I will agree that the article is going to need some hefty revamping (and I'll see about that myself), but to get rid of it would mean we'd have to get rid of other "non-Japanese" anime and manga forms like Amerimanga, La nouvelle manga, etc.--み使い Mitsukai 19:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - This is the fourth incarnation of an article named after a word I made up. I checked, shortly after I created the article, and there were a few independent hits on Google, so while I can take some credit/blame for this term, it's not really a true neologism if it's been around for twenty years. I'd say the only thing going against this article is that it's been deleted three times before. Stranger still is that my original goal, which was struck out upon around two years ago, may be coming to fruitation: this word has been sufficiently forced into circulation that it has actually taken root. Cool. -Litefantastic 19:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as nn neologism, unless someone can provide references and proof of it being in widespread usage. Just because something is 20 years old doesn't mean it's notable. --
Rory09603:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC) - Keep Although this a pioneering term that is just beginning to become known, American Anime or Amerime will put up dozens of results on google, AOL and yahoo so how could it possibly still be considered as neologism? As one of the world's largest online encyclopedias, I believe that it would do Wikipedia good to retain the solid, groundbreaking information Amerime provides and thusly increase its reputation as an online encyclopedia to both old and new valuable information.Walter Nwaokolo 1:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ewell Grove Infant and Nursery School
This is a non-notable infant school. I am concerned that we shall clutter up Wiki with millions of nursery schools. Might as well put in my local shopping centre too *Delete Maustrauser 04:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Delete I'm not in the "Keep All Schools" crowd (though I'm not scrounging around to AfD them either). In my opinion, it's getting ridiculous if we are keeping pre-schools, nurseries, & daycares without some futher evidence of notability.

The result of the debate was well, I asked my magic eight ball whether I should close this as a merge or a delete, and it replied with "concentrate and ask again"; I did so, and got "outlook not so good". I'm not entirely sure what that's supposed to mean in the context of a deletion debate, so, in light of the fact that there doesn't seem to be very much worth merging here, I'm going to redirect to speed limit. If anyone wants to actually merge, they know how to look at the page history. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 11:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Astasia abasia
Source is bogus. Most likely a work of fiction. Bobby1011 04:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Fiction it is certainly not; it's an archaic neurologic term (but then again, most neurologic terms are sort of obscure.) Astasia refers to the inability to maintain station (stand upright) unassisted; abasia means that the base of gait (the lateral distance between the two feet) is inconstant or unmeasurable. It's not always caused by conversion disorder; there are organic syndromes, such as those which destroy or inactivate the cerebellum, which cause it too.

- Female nude wrestling is different to catfight. Only Catfight seems more sexuel motivated, Female Nude Wrestling not. In Austria exist a respectable Wrestling division (Danube Wrestling Women-DWW) were Women fight naked or less dressed (Bikini), but without sexuel intend.

Reference Check Fails This article appears to be a puppetshow. It contains links to commercial pornography portals. The "Tony Perrottet: The Naked Olympics" book cited as a reference for this article is bogus. The sections cited do not appear to carry any reference to female nude wrestling. They cover the topics of Olympic rites and sacrifices to Greek dieties. If we've missed something in the reference, please correct us. Otherwise, this article with all re-direct pages and links should be deleted. --Deeb 03:35 February 13, 2006 (UTC)
- The article should not be deleted, only the links to pornographic sites. The theme is relevant and the authors underlay clearly that this kind of wrestling is not pornography. (It is mentioned that all sexuel intended dealings are strikt forbidden during a contest).
On the other hand exist the same article in the German WiKi.
- Keep after deleting the commercial links ➥the Epopt 15:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and rewrite. From searches I have done, including looking at German wikipedia, it appears that this is sexual entertainment, meaning the page will need to be totally rewritten. As this activity does exist, I don't feel a delete is necessary. As long as the article is rewritten to acknowledge that this is sexual entertainment and cites sources, I say keep.

- Delete. A little investigation shows that the pictures on the article are named Image:Timea Vagvoelgyi wrestling 4.jpg etc., and we currently have an article on Timea Vagvoelgyi, saying she is a porn star. This seems a sufficient evidence of a made-up topic. - Liberatore(T) 16:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Little evidence presented that this is a notable sport. Capitalistroadster 18:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ivan Sidorenko
Hate to nominate these articles, but the possibility of furthering misinformation is too great.
There's no references for him except the website snipercentral which says he killed 500 Germans (which would make him one of the best snipers in history), and then a bunch of googlehits of people copy/pasting the website's list to their gaming messageboards, and I can't help but notice this messageboard has somebody named Ivan.Sidorenko@snipercentral.ru so it's entirely possible that he edited himself into the list as a joke.

- I was a real champ, on top of my game. Everything was going for me the world was my oyster. Audition time for role as the Old Spice sailor the only part I ever wanted. I put my whole heart and soul into that audition and would have gotten it too if John Bennet Perry hadn't walked in and taken it from me. I'll admit it his physic, his charm, his aroma, he had it all. He's better than me I knew that anybody knew that. When I saw his article up for deletion I thought it was too good to be true, the ultimate revenge. But now it's looking like John Bennet Perry has defeated me once again. This should have been my article and the great Mathew Perry son of the great John Bennet Perry should have been Mathew ColenFace son of the great Colenface. My life is in shambles. And I owe it all to John Bennet Perry. John Bennet Perry 2 : ColenFace 0.ColenFace 11:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm...
- Delete. As far as I can tell, Golds is an antiquated term for the Nanai people of Siberia, and an article already exists on that topic.

generally agreedmy understanding that the person who set an important movement in motion is important. Thus, this guy is notable for setting the stone of wikipedia rolling, if wikipedia is notable, which according to WP:WEB it is. Makemi 07:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC) - A-bit-stronger-than-weak Keep there exist a controversy about who presented Jimbo with idea about wiki.

-
yes on second thoughts lets give it some time, changing my vote to keep--Xorkl000 10:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Campsite, which is more appropriate based on the principle of least astonishment. The creator of this article seems a little unclear on how to work with wiki links. In one short session of editing Apostolic Faith Mission, s/he added links to camp ground (a generic term) for a specific but unnamed campground with very little data and no source; Headquarters in Portland, a broken link that should never be established, as it has no reasonable context as an article title; and new church (another generic phrase), which redirects to a completely irrelevant article. (Fortunately, s/he removed the "new church" link, along with a reasonable link to "parsonage", which unfortunately seems to be in the middle of a transwiki to Wiktionary.) This article clearly comes from that "camp ground" link. This is nothing more than an innocent case of overenthusiastic article linking and creation by a novice. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Let's give contributor a chance to realise a good article from scratch. Choose a meaningfull name for article (not such a common name) and tell us what the article is about, because for now I haven't a clue. Gtabary 13:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect per Jeff Q, and possibly userfy the article. It almost certainly is intended to be about the campground owned by the Apostolic Faith Mission. Crypticfirefly 05:25, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Currently speediable, A1 - no context at all. Can you even begin to guess how many places in the world there are called "Camp ground", or how difficult it would be trying to google for this one? Happy with a delete and redirect, as per JeffQ. Grutness...wha? 11:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

- Do not delete Individual slang words are for a dictionary, but there are numerous articles of slang indexes related to a pasttime, culture, music style, etc. I have been revising this article greatly to make it a legitimate entry. Ludwjt5 03:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- You may want to make use of the {{inuse}} template if you are in the process of editing to let others know its a work in progress. Arundhati bakshi
- Do not delete: I believe the internet, especially Wikipedia, should have full liberty of content. User-submitted content should not be modified or deleted. If we were to go about deleting content because it has slang terms for drugs, then why not just go ahead and delete any page with any drug references or profanity? Why not just remove every contraversial subject on Wikipedia including images on human reproductive anatomy? The reason is because it would just be further depriving people of their liberties and placing greater abridgements on our rights. Furthermore, the entire reason for limiting speech is to "protect our children." Our children are not being protected by being blinded. Please Wikipedia, understand that ieveryone should have the freedom to provide whatever information they wish on the internet and that this site, especially, should be no exeption. User:Morthian 22:18 EST, 15 February 2006
- I did not suggest deletion because there were references to drugs. I suggested deletion because wikipedia is not for lists of slangs. See what Wikipedia is not for more details. It specifically says in section 1.2 this is not a dictionary and not for slangs. Make it into a proper article (like the one on Bhang) and it might be a candidate for retention. Wikipedia is not for anything anyone wants to post but an encyclopedia and there are guideleines that must be followed. See 1.2 in above link for details. I said nothing about limitng speech or protecting children in my vote to delete, but voted to delete because this is not an article, just a list of non-notable slang. Other drug references or articles on human anatomy are real articles, not lists of slangs. If they aren't, they should also be deleted or placed within a sensible context. Arundhati bakshi 11:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I see. Sorry about that. Although, I would think that a list like this would be in an encyclopedia rather than a dictionary or thesaurus, as these terms are not just synonyms. I suppose the definitions of the slang terms could be defined in a dictionary under each word, but then that defeats the purpose of a list. Perhaps some people like reading up on the list and learning various street terms. I haven't really looked into this type of situation too much, so perhaps I am wrong about the article's placement. As long as the deletion of the article has nothing to do with limitations of content, I am not really bothered. User:Morthian 15:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

The terms have enormous reference value and properly belong in an encyclopedia article that can provide a scholarly overview of usage with context and sources. -- JJay 22:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

- Obviously I was being a bit facetious with my phrasing, but I think it is legitimate to take into account, when notability is one of the criteria that brings an article to AfD, whether there's evidence that points to an attempt to manufacture an appearance of notability. In this case that evidence turned out to be mistaken, but I think it's a legitimate consideration. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Comment Copyright in the screenshot is probably owned by the BBC (this was an in-house BBC production). I'm a UK-qualified IP lawyer and I'd say the inclusion was probably justified under UK "fair dealing" principles. I believe Wikipedia runs on the US "fair use" doctrine which is significantly more relaxed and so the inclusion is more likely to be OK. In any event, copyright infringement should only realy be a reason for deletion if the page infringes copyright as a whole, not (for example) just because a single element may be problematic.

- KEEP. I have seen this done at office christmas parties and now have done it myself. As for notability not being established, perhaps the inclusion of this has to wait until it gets in the press before being published on Wiki? I note there is also a page on the Macarena. Should that be deleted as being trivial? As far as neologisms are concerned, surely a neologism is only such until it becomes an accepted or widely spread part of the common language?

- Sorry you perceive it as "thinly-veiled newbie bullying" going on, but Wikipedia perceives this well-established practice of noting "votes" from very new users as its protection against "sockpuppets", "meatpuppets", and other attempts to make the AfD reflect the views and perhaps the ulterior motives of a small group of newcomers, rather than the experience and judgement of established Wikipedians. You may think this is "unfair", but I suggest to you that that is an illusion caused by the fact that Wikipedia offers you uncommon latitude in editing its pages. Would you expect that any other non-wiki website would give you a major voice in determining its affairs simply for showing up and making seven, eight, nine, contributions before saying "My voice must be counted!"? -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

BTW, it would require some research, but I'm pretty sure there's some non-Australians who were faster. Mgm|(talk) 11:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I wrote this stub, and you would have to have been paying no attention to the aftermath of 9/11 to have failed to have encountered widespread reports of "coincidences" or "synchronicities" surrounding the events of that day. Bear in mind that those two words are often used as synonyms for one another but they carry opposite implications -- a "coincidence" is considered to be pure happenstance, with no implied actual connection between events that are coinciding; "synchronicity" on the other hand implies that there may be an actual connection. The distinction is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm not suggesting that any perceived connection is verifiably so.
The bottom line is this: Coincidences surrounding 9/11 have been widely noted and have had a presence and impact culturally at the very least.
My piece IS A STUB -- I defined the topic and provided two categorically different examples, and that is what they are -- examples only. This is followed by an invitation to add to these examples. I do think the quality of the examples added would need to be monitored, but the topic itself is legitimate AS a topic -- I make no claims, and the article makes no claims, as to the significance of any coincidences described or discussed.
Thanks for your time. I respectfuly ask you, and everyone else who has already voted, to reconsider your vote.

- Delete, per WP:NOR and suggest the author follow that link and read it.--Isotope23 17:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
My main point is this: "Coincidences surrounding 9/11 have been widely noted and have had a presence and impact culturally at the very least." "Widely noted" means a cultural phenomenon is occurring and to that extent is an "object" in the world and hence worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia that purports to cover objects in the world.
I am new to the site, and have only just now skimmed the policy statement, which seems sensible and I wish to support it. It may be the article should be revised in light of it. But it's not a "pet theory" of mine, merely a fact of cultural life in the time since 9/11, one that deserves to be documented accurately and in an unbiased manner.
Darwin Tallhouse 17:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- OK, but for something to be encyclopedic, it needs to be supported by a verifiable, independent source. What I mean by that is there needs to be an exterior website, scientific journal, etc that has already covered this topic (in the case of your comments above, the supposed cultural phenomenon of "Coincidences or Synchornicities surrounding 9/11"). Generally speaking, message boards, blogs, and personal websites are not seen as a verifable, neutral source. For even a rewritten article on this topic to exist here and not be subjected to an AfD, you will need to demonstrate that a credible source has already documented this as a cultural phenomenon. WP:V will help you understand the criteria. --Isotope23 18:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- Darwin, I appreciate your openness and willingess to discuss. What Isotope23 just said. To give an example, when one person notices the Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences, it doesn't get an article. After it's been discussed in magazines and mentioned in books about the two presidents and been made the subject of a Father Guido Sarducci comedy special, then it gets an article. Thatcher131 18:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Isotope23, Thatcher131, thank you for your sensible comments. Thatcher131, your point on Lincoln/Kennedy coincidences is apt, and I certainly agree with you. I believe that the verification you request can be provided; clearly, though, I should have done more research before posting. I will endeavor to track down the qualtiy of verification required. How long can you give me? Or should my article be taken down in the interim? Just for starters, though, anyone googling "9/11 coincidences" will certainly get an eyeful, if not a laugh! Best Wishes, Darwin Tallhouse 19:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the AfD process takes about a week, however by the end of that time many fewer people are paying attention and it would be hard to change the delete consensus that has developed. Also, if the article is deleted via the AfD process and you put it up again later, it may be nominated for speedy deletion. If I were you (and I was, when I first joined) I would swallow my pride, blank the page, and tag it yourself for speedy deletion. (Unfortunately since other people have edited it you can't use G7 only author, you have to use G1 patent nonsense.) You can then set up the article on your own user page and work on it without interference until you've got it in a more encylopedic format, then put it up again in the main space. If you speedied your own first attempt then your second attempt should get a fair hearing based on its new content. Thatcher131 20:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, there is already a perfectly good article at 9/11 conspiracy theories.
I would like to voluntarily take down my article; what would be the best way to do that? Darwin Tallhouse 13:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

It must be deleted: becaused it's totally non-notable and because I had been treasoned by this article's name! --Neigel von Teighen 19:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)- Niegel. You have done a "name" search. Nu NRG is a name in Asia!!!! :))

- Keep. I'd like to draw your attention to [18]. It says "Dreamland" made it into the German ODC TOP 40 charts and was also featured on Paul van Dyk's Album "The Politics Of Dancing". That's two reasons to keep the article. Also, please stop holding conversations with yourself/ someone else using your account.SoothingR 16:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Paul Van Dyk's is the producer.
- Comment: it's not currently proposed for deletion in the Italian Wikipedia (see it:Nu NRG, there is only a neutrality tag). I dont't understand how that works, but apparently the nomination was not completed and another editor removed it. - Liberatore(T) 19:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- The original entry by the name of the two artist ha been voted for deletion and been deleted. Shortly after someone created a new "Nu Enr" entry, which has been labelled with a Neutrality tag and voted for removal. IMHO I dont' really care if they are "in or out" but seem non notable yet. To make it once in the German Hit can occur, but is it notable? Should wiki host a "TOP OF THE POP" where such group can be listed and traced to be then "moved" into WIKI when become notable???

[edit] Three Component Meal
I think this article's unredeemable. It's unreferenced and almost certainly original research (meat causes cancer? vegetable juices irritate the stomach? Carbohydrates are "moderately harmless?"), and it is a POV fork from Food guide pyramid.

[edit] Viable Vision
This is an article that was, pretty much, previous deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Viable Vision. However, it's approach to the topic is less adverty than before, and the article is not really a substantially identical recreation. I'm making this nomination on behalf of User:NickelShoe who I imagine will call by shortly. -Splashtalk 17:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I was actually moving it here from prod on behalf of User:Rob9874, who states on the talk page, "I'm not sure why this is being considered for deletion. Viable Vision is a popular concept with business that utilize TOC methodologies. I would like to see this article stay." This is not the same username as the article's originator. NickelShoe 18:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, clean up, and expand. After further review, Delete. See below. [19]. PJM 18:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

-
Unfortunately that's not the search I wanted to link (see below). I always try a couple of variations when I'm dealing with a not so unique name or term. Sometimes I find Google to be the best way for me to form an opinion; despite this bad example. PJM 19:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
-
-
Note further that even the correct Google search is completely irrelevant in pure number terms since the phrase "we have a viable vision" (etc) is all over it. Simple Googlecounting is not a useful tool for this terminology. "Viable Vision" Goldratt on the other hand yields only 240 unique hits (and has less than 1000 to start with, so that problem isn't there either). -Splashtalk 18:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Therebelution.com
This American blog has no alexa rank at all. I don't see how we could consider this a significant website. Friday (talk) 18:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Correction: While the URL listed on the page has no alexa rank, another URL for the same blog has a little under 700K, see below. This is still way too high, so I stand by the nomination for now even though it was initially incorrect. Friday (talk) 23:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep-- the web site has received coverage in the New York Daily News (link on article page), which already makes it meet WP:WEB. The article author claims the web site has received several blog awards, but has not included them on the page, yet. This deletion nomination is too early to be one based on the quality of the article; it was only written hours ago. Note that I suggested the creation of this page (see User talk:AlexHarris) because the blog does appear to be notable, but its creators are not, except under the blog's article. Give the author a chance to write the article! Mangojuice 19:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)Change that to Weak keep-- WP:WEB mentions multiple coverages, so the one alone isn't enough, and I couldn't find the blog awards, so that's up to the author to find. Also, let me note that the site is hosted at blogger.com, which explains its alexa rank: it actually does have an Alexa rank of 696K-something: [21], which isn't too bad for a blog. Mangojuice 19:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)- I'd now vote for speedy delete as the page author (User:AlexHarris) and only significant contributor requests it. Mangojuice 05:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- (ec) Comment: I still don't see how a single mention in a paper makes it meet WP:WEB. Also, my nom is based solely on the article's topic, not the current content. My opinion so far is that the topic of this article is an unremarkable website. If the article is going to go away for having an unencyclopedic topic, I'd hate for the poor guys to put lots of work into it. Friday (talk) 19:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Also note that WP:WEB wants way, way more traffic than a 700K alexa suggests. Friday (talk) 19:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- The site in question just switched domains. It has received nearly 160,000 hits since last August and receives over 1,200 hits a day (see Sitemeter). AlexHarris 23:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- The article has been briefly updated, but may be removed if either of you consider it unencylopedic. It was only written as an edit to an inaccurate (and slightly deragatory) article created by a third party. AlexHarris 00:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC) Update: The blog in question was awarded a 2005 Weblog Award (a well-known, annual event in the blogosphere) for its TTLB category, hosted by Wizbang. If that qualifies as an independent and well-known award... It would appear to meet the WP:WEB. If not, then you may remove the article. AlexHarris 00:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- It's a great blog, keep the article. The Rebelution is very popular among young teens. bethbookitty 08:41, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comments: I have no idea what's considered a "reputable" blog award, so if someone who knows about this can comment, that would be great. Also, I see mention of Alexa has been moved out of WP:WEB, so I think I was remembering an older version when I was thinking the number should be far lower than 700K (10K was the rule of thumb I was remembering.) In comparision, a site who's webserver I administer has an alexa rank of 53K and has been around for over 10 years, but we would never consider for a second trying to make a wikipedia article about it- it's an insignificant website in the grand scheme of things. BTW- we don't care how great the blog is - that's completely irrelevant to our purposes here. Friday (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- This Is a great blog! You really should keep the article. Very popular, won awards, loved by many. I think that the Rebelution article should stay. Kara Gemmill 21:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- In reply to a former comment: With all due respect, someone said that, "it [the Rebelution]is an insignificant website in the grand scheme of things." Aren't spoons insignifiant in the "Grand scheme of things?" You have an article about them. Why can't you have an article about a highly influencial website?Kara Gemmill 02:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with the previous user. What exactly is the purpose of Wikipedia but to inform? Would not a popular blog article inform more, than an eraser article? Yes, within Wikipedia an article concerning erasers exists. How can this possibly be useful information? Bethbookitty 03:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your support. I personally don't think that therebelution.com can claim the same encylopedic relevance as erasers or spoons, but rest assured that I am very grateful for your defense of the article. I know each of you will verify that absolutely no attempt was made to alert anyone of the article or its status. As was said before, this article was written as an edit/rewrite of a slightly humorous version of the same by a third party. Our blog does not need, and arguably does not deserve, an entry on Wikipedia. Therefore, I think it would be best to remove the article for the time being. Thank you again.

[edit] Oswald, Grey College, Durham
Article about a non-notable building, being used to promote unencyclopedic prank. I tried to redirect this to Grey College, Durham a couple of times, but this was reverted. Delete or Speedy delete if possible. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 18:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
If you read the categories for articles that should be deleted I think you will find that this does not fall into one of them. It is not a prank, it is a piece of art, and is notable by 12,000 students. I imagine you can find better things to do with your time, or more useless articles to put up for deletion. It was actually still a work in progress with more information about the building when you started medling with my article. This may not be notable to you personally, but I'm sure there are people who would appreciate the article. <--comment added by user:62.56.63.205

- Comment Thedus is nothing but a dreamt up name for the departure point of Nostromo in the movie, we can deduce that it is a mining colony/world or a freight hub; the script for Aliens simply substituted "mining colony" with Thedus. As such, at the very most it might have an entry in an article about the Alien/(Predator) universe or planets/worlds or similar. Can't see though why it could remain as an article entirely on its own. Scoo 13:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Environetics
Neologism. This is my academic field, and I have never heard the term. It appears to be a neologism from a class at MIT: [22] This term is not used in the field. The hits in google scholar (14 total) are for products by companies with the apparently popular name "environetics". There are no hits for the word in Environmental Health Perspectives, the best-known journal of the field of environmental health (which encompasses toxicology, environmental epidemiology of toxic exposures, and logical issues of causation deriving from environmental exposures). I hate to rain on the parade of anyone in this field, but I don't see any sense in confusing people with unused terminology made up by a professor for reasons which are very unclear.

[edit] Jehovah's Witnesses: Controversial Issues
This is very strange. The AfD listing was made by a user who has been contributing to this page but it is incomplete and there is no notice on the article page. Beyond that, it is certainly difficult to make an NPOV article about a controversial topic but that's no reason to delete the whole page. Thatcher131 20:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Total_Olympics_medal_count
This page should be deleted because the information it contains is factually inaccurate; the combined totals of the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics medal pages add to more that what this page shows. While this can be fixed, the fact still remains that Winter Olmypic Medals and Summer Olympic Medals should not be added together because they are two totally different things. Further, many countries who participate in the Summer games do not participate in the winter ones, and vice versa. Blatently, the two cannot be compared. --Jared 22:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Jared 22:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but fix I agree with some of Jared's points, however, I feel that this list is quite relevant given that it is part of an article entitled "Olympic Games." Therefore, the two games can be compared and seen in the same context because they are both "Olympic Games" with a difference in season and sports. Their medal counts can be added together because they have this in common, and I think some people would find such a tally interesting and I'm also sure most everyone who is interested in the Olympic Games has pondered at least once about what the all-time Olympic medal tallies would be for each participating nation. I feel that we should have separate lists for all-time medal counts for both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games and then also have a list with the two games' medal counts combined. In doing so, we must make sure that when we produce these medal rankings that they are complete, accurate, and that every Games is included so that the numbers aren't grossly miscalculated and that countries are not erroneously left out. --Caponer 00:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral. I do agree with you. In a way, I think that the page should be kept, but somehow I dont think it is as important to keep because people will only look at it because they "pondered at least once about [it]." It doesn't contain information that could be used for anything but self knowledge, and even the all of the data is wrong! --Jared 00:37, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but fix. Caponer is right: the Games absolutely are comparable. They are run by the same organization (the IOC), and the only reason that we have separate Winter and Summer Olympics now is because of the impracticality of finding one location at which to host all of the possible events for Winter and Summer Sports at the same time. Before the First "Winter" Olympics were held in 1924, there was no such thing as 'Summer' or 'Winter' Olympic Games, they were just the Olympic Games. In fact, some of the very early Olympic Games (i.e., 'Summer' Games, but before they were called that) included events like Figure Skating and Ice Hockey. Should those medals for Figure Skating and Ice Hockey then be counted with the 'Summer' Games because that's where they were awarded, or with the 'Winter' Games because Figure Skating and Ice Hockey are Winter Sports? The point of the Olympics Medal lists is to compare the athletic nature of different Countries, and given that all of the events at every Olympics are athletic in nature, there is a totally valid reason to combine the Medal counts from Winter and Summer Olympic Games. I would also support pages comparing Medal totals for individual Sports, like skiing, track & field, etc. That said, I agree that the Medal totals should be accurate. But it still leaves us with problems like whether or not to include the Intercalated Games of 1906, what to do with medals awarded to teams of people from different countries (allowed at early Olympic Games, but not in the past 100 years), etc.Bojangles04 06:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Using the all-time charts for both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games, I've corrected the combined chart down to #73 which is currently Liechtenstein. I would appreciate if others who would like to see the chart stay could assist me with the final count corrections and assist in double-checking the totals I have corrected (as I am very sleepy and it is possible I could have made a few mistakes). It's beginning to look more and more like a keeper! --Caponer 07:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, So I think that we've resolved this issue. I think that we should close this deletion, agreeing to Keep and fix because it is obviously wrong information. (I would do it, but I'm not an admin.) If someone from this discussion would do it (or could find someone to do it) that would be great! Thanks --Jared 17:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep obviously. But create two new pages: Total Summer Olympics medal count and Total Winter Olympics medal count. savidan(talk) (e@) 05:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- NOTE: There already are these pages, just remove the total and these are the pages that exist. --Jared 12:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Total Keeper: It is totally harmless and quite informative at the same time. As long as a seperate list of Summer and Winter Games exists, there is no harm. Would like further clarification on what data is incorrect? The Intercalated Games of 1906 are not recognized by the IOC thus should not be included.
- Someone was able to correct the problem. The totals here were less than the visual combined total of the winter and summer pages, but someone fixed this. There is no problem now, do this deletion discussion should be ended. --Jared 12:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Could Someone Please Close This Out? Thanks.
--Jared [T]/[C]\[P:O]/[@]\[+] 18:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
As Jared has previously stated, this problem has been solved. Further comments and questions should be shared at either Talk:Total Olympics medal count or Wikipedia:Olympic conventions. We ask that an administrator remove this article from this list. --Caponer 02:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Schwartz (journalist)
While on a notable subject, this page has proven unmaintainable, attracting many edits by detractors in more or less open attempts to smear the subject, and resulting in a libel claim (and needed a libel claim to clean up).
Unless and until someone turns up who is willing to take responsibility for this page, wikipedia is better off without it. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 22:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I second deleting this article. As Gertrude Stein said, "There's no there, there." And frankly, this person isn't worthy of an encyclopedia article. GriotGriot
- Strong Keep Notable, gets an entry. Period. Requiring a page to have a 'babysitter' just to exist is absolute bollocks. If it's that upsetting to the regular contributors, get an admin involved, agree on a version and protect, or similer. But 'controversial' is not a criterion for deletion. -AKMask 00:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. The libel claim result was to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and to say that the article is on a "notable subject" (nom's words) and yet call for it to be deleted is, frankly, ludicrous. And Griot, inconvenience isn't a grounds for deletion; officially, de facto, or even reasonably. --Calton | Talk 01:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)'
-
- Delete Inconvenience might be grounds in this case. Have you looked through the Talk archives? This article is a tangle of thorns. No admin would take it on. The extremely hostile subject himself has visited Wiki and threatened a libel suit. Will one of you take it on? The article is doomed to remain a stub. Unless you can find a Hercules admin to take it on, it's going to have to go or remian still born. Griot 02:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Griot

- Griot, I urge you to read our Wikipedia:Deletion_policy and have a look for yourself. There are no 'case-by-case' issues. There is a listing there of things that do not require deletion, such as inaccuracy, and things that do require it. Inconveniance is not listed anywhere near that list. I urge you to read the relevent policies and guidelines first. And if he's accusing us of libel, and we see that we are guilty of that behavior, then change it. If he just wants a nice, positive article with no negatives, he can go jump in a lake. Libel is much tougher to prove then most people think. Reporting on someones opinions is not grounds. See Daniel Brandt. -AKMask 02:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

- A page is unmaintainable whenever the work needed to keep the page in order overwhelms the forces at hand.

- It's entirely relevant: if someone competent were to volunteer
- Keep. Check Wikipedia:Deletion policy for what can get deleted, and why. This article doesn't qualify. That means that it can't be deleted; deletion policy is policy. In particular, difficulty in maintaining an article's verifiability or NPOV is not grounds for deletion. Rather, it is grounds for improving the article via consensus editing. -ikkyu2 (talk) 03:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Also, bear in mind that Jimbo's last action with regard to this page was to deprotect it and encourage that future contributions be sourced.

- Three things:
- 1. The page is unmaintainable for no other reason than the fact that (i) there are a number of people who want to use the article to push POV and defamation, and (ii) nobody wants to do the hard work of understanding the issues around Schwartz so that they can look after the article. Uninformed editors looking out for the page has not worked in the past, it will not work in the future.
- 2. If someone competent turns up who would be willing to do the work necessary to fill the roile I described, great. Then the case for the AfD would vanish and we could look forward to having a decent article on Schwartz.
- 3. Jimbo would like us to have a decent article on Schwartz, but he knows about my plans to put forward this AfD and has not objected to it. There's some kudos for anyone willing to look after the article. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 15:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Again, check Wikipedia:Deletion policy for a concise review of community consensus on grounds for deletion. This article in no way qualifies, and certainly not because of any of the three points above.-ikkyu2 (talk) 18:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep — More than sufficiently notable. I tried to add some PoV-neutral content. Feel free to expand. :-) — RJH 18:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Schwartz obviously merits a page here and the article is not too bad as it stands. I would just disallow blogs/minor news organizations as a source for links or references (perhaps eliminating the external links section completely). It's on my watchlist and I'm sure after this AfD many editors will be watching the page. -- JJay 18:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marissa Marchant
Article ranges from untrue to unverifiable. Supposedly a musician. Also supposedly "more notorious as an Internet phenomenon than as a musician". Let's put it this way, a mere 932 Google hits, inflated by Wikipedia mirrors and postings on a message board that is itself barely notable at best (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Love Music), does not qualify as an Internet phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination. She shouldn't have an article as an Internet phenomenon, is there any reason she should have one as a musician? The top external link, her "attack" on Norah Jones, does not refer to even so much as a review she wrote, but a sentence she put in the comments section of someone else's review. Many of the links, including anything SF Weekly may have written about her, do not work. --Michael Snow 23:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. An Internet phenomenon with less than 1000 Google hits and little verifiable material doesn't meet WP:WEB see [27]. She certainly doesn't meet our music notability guidelines. Capitalistroadster 23:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

other(succesful) artists. Note that most of the links cited don't work. Camillus (talk) 00:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC) - Delete I can't find a single shred of notability. Insulting someone on a BBC webforum doesn't count. Adrian Lamo ·· 05:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete There is no way of verifying the sources anymore, as the subject of the article has decided to change her name and is threatening anyone who uses her "old" name with a lawsuit. See this thread by the Artist formerly known as Marissa Marchant on another discussion board. She's managed to get almost all of the source references to her name and activities off of the web this way, and without these sources, the article becomes unverifiable. Without her salespitch to sell her CDs for $1000 each and the reactions by other artists, there is nothing left to discuss, as her music very clearly fails [the music notability guidelines]. Although I voted to save her article the first time, this time I vote delete. Musikfabrik 10:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seth Pohorence
Fixing AfD nomination only. See my vote further below. --Metropolitan90 02:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- First Vote to delete. This is a vanity page and articles by author do not recieve much attention —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.69.82.220 (talk • contribs)
- Fisher is a small liberal arts college in Upstate New York. This is merely a vanity page. If this undergraduate student recieves a wikipedia page shouldn't the student government president recieve one, or the college president, or the dean of students? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.69.74.12 (talk • contribs)
- Shouldn't comments be made on this page? Not on the actual article itself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpikeZoft (talk • contribs)
- Delete. The subject of the article's only apparent claim to fame is that he writes a humor column for his college newspaper, a grand total of seven columns having appeared in the paper so far. This is not a sufficient claim to notability. --Metropolitan90 02:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jason Hunt
I gave this one a prod template, but the author removed oit without comment, so I'm listing here for concensus. Subject is a non-notable webmaster and graphic designer. Google gives very few hits (76 total, less than 25 unique) for "jason hunt" "natural child project". No secondary sources are provided. This individual just is not noteworthy enough for Wikipedia (please note the page creator is User:Janhunt). — orioneight (talk) 23:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per myself. — orioneight (talk) 23:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- What google are you looking at? i got 10,400,000 hits. Keep ILovePlankton 23:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Eh? A Google search for just the name of "Jason Hunt" brings up 37,800 as a number. How you got 10 million hits is beyond me... Searching with other related terms brought it down below 100. — TheKMantalk 23:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- And by 10,400,000 you meant 76, right? :-P — orioneight (talk) 23:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

- Keep This gallery has collaborated with Unicef, is very well-known and esteemed among those who study children's art, and has collected over 1,000 pictures and paintings from 66 countries over a 9-year period, the largest such collection on the Internet. What definition of "noteworthy" does this website not meet? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jennie7 (talk • contribs) .
- Keep True but it wouldn't exist without the 9 years of donated time Jason has given to this project (I've had the good fortune to meet this very dedicated young man). 1000+ children around the world have been given the joy and encouragement of seeing their artwork on the Internet. Where else could we find the future artists of the world than among the children of today? If anyone who has voted "delete" has an unfulfilled childhood dream, please reconsider.
