[edit] Gaelic punk

Another one of those really obscure genres, I've seen similar sub-sub-subgenres nominated before. Has 243 Google hits. Obli (Talk) 00:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Many signs on non-notabiliity. "new phenomenon," "Three bands to date have started recording in the medium of Gaelic." 00:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Bands are notable, and I have heard of all of them. --MacRusgail 14:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep There's lot of categories of punk music, why not another one. Especially one thats interesting and worthwhile. Not just music but culture too! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.172.227 (talk • contribs)
Delete ridiculous sub-categorization. Although I eagerly await North Dublin-style Gaelic punk. Lord Bob 17:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
~~Reluctant~~ keep The article as currently drafted is poor, but I do think that it is likely to be an encyclopaedic topic. If we delete it, I am certain that it will pop up again, hopefully in better shape.--Mais oui! 20:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Revised to "Keep" after considering other comments: this is clearly a notable, encyclopaedic topic. It is just that the article is badly drafted, but we shouldn't bite the newbies just cos they're new.--Mais oui! 08:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete, not notable yet, may be notable in future if there are more than three bands. ←Hob 21:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, the article is a bit messy presently but its subject matter is not un-notable. --AlexWCovington (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep - bands were featured recently on BBC programme. There are more obscure things on WP, why not this? Article is a mess at moment, though. Camillus (talk) 02:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep Real enough, Maximumrocknroll has coverage of it and it's being retro fitted for the Pogues. Rx StrangeLove 06:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep interesting topic that I'm sure is useful. Logophile 11:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment, I realize that this topic is somewhat encyclopedic, but only if placed in the right place, perhaps a better place for it would be a note under an article about language preservation, or perhaps Gaelic language? What I'm saying is that it's only encyclopedic as an attempt to preserve a dying language, but not as a genre that only one notable group falls into. Obli (Talk) 20:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep article is still in its infancy and will be further developed and tidied. Yes, Gaelic punk and is featured in the Scottish media and is becoming a more widely used term for bands that not only sing in Gaelic but have 'Celtic' influences such as Flogging Molly and the Pogues. If Wikipedia encourages new writers to write on new topics then it goes against the spirit of free and democratic information if it is immediatley deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.172.227 (talk • contribs)
- Please note that this is the second vote from this anon user Obli (Talk) 20:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Also see feature in Punk Planet magzine on Gaelic Punk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.172.227 (talk • contribs)
Delete nn; too obscure. Carlossuarez46 22:45, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep - The criteria for notability can be satisfied. The sub-genre exists. There is even mention of this cultural phenomenon in recognised popular media sources. This one does not even require much consideration- it is, by its nature, a 'keep'. One caveat- the present state of the article is deplorable; lots of cleanup needed (inaccurate statements, POV-slanted phrasing, et cetera). → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 06:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. cleanup. -- Marvin147 23:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. --Khoikhoi 01:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
STRONG keep - an emerging genre. But move to "Scottish Gaelic punk". Irish and Manx are Gaelic too. --MacRusgail 14:49, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep funnily enough! This is my first submission to Wikipedia, any helpful comments and advice welcome. Layout and content is still being worked on. As to being obscure, isn't it the job of encylopedias to shed light? Yes, it certainly does exist as is evidenced by the 268,000 Google hits on the term and international media coverage. What other minority 'interests' should we delete from Wikipedia? Scots Gaelic punk would be more relevant if we only take language into account. It is argued that you can't be a Gael without Gaelic. However, some of the bands mentioned do have influences rooted in traditonal Gaelic culture, for example use of the bagpipes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seonaidh (talk • contribs)
Keep definitely looks interesting, notable. ikh (talk) 02:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of VH1's 100 Greatest Songs from the Past 25 Years

Original research and subjective POV. Doesn't cite (if) it came from an official list or not. Last Avenue 00:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep, like The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Song lists from notable sources are inherently NPOV and not original research. Kappa 00:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment. The number of music TV/Radio/magazine's top 100/50/10 lists of songs could be vast. I'd like to see some sign that this one isn't just another. Is is authoritative, widely cited, referred to, talked about, or controversial? If not, it's just listcruft. I'll come back and vote one way or the other when I'm sober. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 00:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep It's popular among the younger crouds, but I'd worry regarding copyright issues. —This user has left wikipedia 00:31 2006-02-02
~~Keep~~ It can be an article about that list as much as being a list if lists bother people. This is more marginal of an example, I could see this in an Almanac. (I think the horror people have at lists is intense enough that maybe there should just be a Wiki-Almanac where lists can be banished to)--T. Anthony 04:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Abstain I hadn't consider copyvio issues. If it's a copyright violation it probably should be removed. I asked about the Vatican Film List I created once, that isn't copyvio is it?--T. Anthony 04:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete Non-notable list with no explanation of the list. Hdstubbs 04:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Given VH1's credentials as a music television station. Capitalistroadster 04:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep. While Hdstubbs makes a good argument for deleting it, Kappa makes a better one for keeping it. Royboycrashfan 05:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. The list doesn't come out that often and VH1 is well recognizable. Calwatch 05:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete because as NN and listcruft. (Signed: J.Smith) 05:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete NN list. Arbustoo 06:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. VH1 is a very notable music television channel and has put together several of these "Greatest" lists. There is already 100 Greatest Songs of Rock 'N' Roll as well two other VH1 lists in 40 Most Awesomely Bad No. 1 Songs and List of VH1's 40 Most Awesomely Bad Breakup Songs. There is also the Rolling Stone series and the Blender magazine series. Keep as per precedent -- Ianblair23 (talk) 11:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep as VH1 is notable. --Ter e nc e Ong (恭喜发财) 11:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Unlike Maxim's, VH1's focus is music. (OK, its ostensible focus is music, its real focus is silly reality shows and E!-style celebrity worship and gossip, but we'll ignore that.) StarryEyes 15:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. There are hundreds of these lists and, while VH1 is music-centered, it's far from authoritative, and not extremely notable compared to its peers; it's just one more commercial medium with its own POV and self-interest. The Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame's list, by comparison, comes from a NPOV and authoritative non-commercial source and attempts to describe long-term influence that shaped the field. This list is less encyclopedic in both scope and source. Most such lists are listcruft, and I don't think this one rises above the bar. Barno 16:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. When some random media outlet puts out a list of the top x of y, that doesn't make it encyclopaedic. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as mentioned above, is a different story. VH1 is not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lord Bob 17:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Destroy as Copyvio. Lists of items derived solely through editorial opinion (as opposed to polls, statistics, and other fact-based processes) fall within the guidelines of Eckes v. Card Prices Update and are subject to copyright protection under US law. Reproducing the entirety of such a list merely for the purposes of copying it into Wikipedia is a copyright violation and should not be allowed to stand. Dragons flight 01:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete copyvio. There could probably be an article about "lists of the greatest foo of bar" with external links to listings. I mean really, these sorts of lists seem to become a rather iconic character of Western pop culture. older ≠ wiser 14:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. I think an article about this stuff would be acceptable (though I think a single article about VH1's lists of ... would be far superior. They are in themselves an interesting pop culture phenomenon. Guettarda 17:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete as copyvio. --Carnildo 20:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Copyvio per Eckes v. Card Prices Update. Simply reproducing the list is copyright infringement; however, an article could surely be made about the list and events associated with it. Wikiacc (¶ | ∞) 22:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete just like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The World’s 10 Worst Dictators. The fact that some source makes a list of the best or worst or whatever makes it encyclopedic. Here the source is VH1, which knows something about music, and the Dictator's list is by David Wallenchinsky who knows something about making pithy little lists, packaging them and getting published. So what? Should we take a concordance and list God's favorite words? Carlossuarez46 22:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect to Mushroom (Mario) - surely that's the more general topic that Super Mushroom should be merged into? ←Hob 21:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Redirect to Toadstool. It does not make sense to redirect a generic term to an article about an item in a video game. Just because the article is about Super Mario right now doesn't mean that the term poison mushroom ought to redirect to an article about Super Mario. I'm going to be bold and redirect it myself. NoIdeaNick 22:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- It seems as if there is no way to do this without removing the AfD notice, which I had not intended to do, so I'll wait until after the debate closes.

NoIdeaNick 23:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect to Mushroom poisoning (as poisonous mushroom already does). Nick is absolutely right, having a term like this redirect to videogamecruft is a really bad idea. -R. fiend 23:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Changed my vote to redirect to Mushroom poisoning, merging current content into Mushroom (Mario). But then the lowercase version, poison mushroom, needs a redirect too. ←Hob 06:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Not a valid choice. If we merge anything, the article must redirect to the merge target, to comply with the GFDL. Stifle 23:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Perhaps, I'm wrong, but I don't think that's how it works. My understanding is that the original edit history has to be retained and the target article has to acknowledge that it used material from the source article. There aren't any restrictions on what the source article is redirected to, at least not in terms of complying with the GDFL. That's only my understanding though. If someone else knows that I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. NoIdeaNick 01:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep There are several notable rappers who are members (or formerly members of the insane crips: see Crips).

-"Long Beach seeks order to curb gang" in San Diego Union-Tribune, May 24, 2003.

-"Drug-related fugitive list reduced" in Press-Telegram, Spet. 30, 2005.

The fact that the group is in the news, and that they have ties to demonstrably notable people, and are fairly large and a violent history, to me makes them notable. --Hansnesse 01:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Crosina (2nd nomination)

This page was nominated on January 26th and there was no consensus. However, the "keep" side was driven by a claim that the subject was a professional hockey player - a claim that was never verified. In fact all of my research points to the fact that the subject was not a professional hockey player, as his only mention at hockeydb.com was that he played for the University of British Columbia team (which is a university team, not a professional one). Therefore, I am renominating the article to form a clearer consensus. Delete. Andy Saunders 01:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Following discussion at WP:DRV these are being returned for re-examination. ~~Currently no opinion.~~ There appears to be no way to show that these individuals satisfy WP:BIO using Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

[edit] Antisystem

Keep: per great research! Needs sources documented. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC) Delete: Non-notable band. Article mentions only one possibly-full-length album which doesn't meet WP:BAND guideline of two full-length albums. No mention on Amazon or AllMusic (AllMusic does have an entry for Anti System - two words - but it may be a different band and doesn't say anything anyway). Can't find any sources actually. The only candidate for an official page was a 404 broken link. A search on one of the album names gave only Wikipedia mirrors. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

This entry seems to be unverifiable, but please do remember that there's more things mentioned in WP:NMG that could merit inclusion beside 2 full length albums and Amazon and All Music listings. A band with no albums can still be notable for other reasons. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete as per thorough nom. Dustimagic *\o/* ^{(talk/contribs)} *\o/* 01:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep and move to Anti System. The AMG entry in question is [4]. Under the discography tag, one of the albums is Defence of the System, which is mentioned in the article. However, the only other listing there is No Laughing Matter, which is not mentioned in the article but which does appear to be by the same band, see [5]. They did appear to release two albums, A Look at Life and No Laughing Matter. So they have an AMG entry, they have two albums...really, they do meet WP:MUSIC. You get many more relevant results for Anti System in Google if you use the two-word version of their name. Raggaga 12:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep & move to Anti System per Raggaga. I grant this is on the very cusp of notability, but they do have an All Music entry, even if it is just a discography with no bio. And they have done two albums. Let's remove some of those red links, though. StarryEyes 13:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Well, now I'm thorougly confused. With your new info, I found this link which shows their Defence of the Realm EP with five tracks. The article mentions Defence of the Realm with "2 more tracks" and none of the names match. Are we sure we're dealing with the right band here? And what is this link showing? It looks like they gathered the bits and pieces from their scattered catalog and released it as one CD? Doesn't that still mean they've only made enough music to fit on one CD? You've almost got me convinced to keep except now I'm worried about their verifiability with this new conflicting info. Then again, if we have to jump through this many hoops to find anything, how notable can they be?! —Wknight94 (talk) 14:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- They are not "notable" in the dictionary sense of the word, but they do meet the WP:MUSIC criteria. OK, I think I've got it all sorted out. Here was the original text of the article: "anti system formed in 1981 in 82 there 8 track demo came out they had 2 tracks on Punk Dead - Nah Mate, The Smell is Jus Summink in Yer Underpants Innit 12"(Pax, 1982) then they released defence of the realm ep (pax, 1982) had 2 more tracks on Bollox to the Gonads - Here's the Testicles LP (Pax, 1984) after pax records went under they singed to reconciliation records in 84 85 saw the release of there legendary lp no laughting matter in 86 they released there last best release a look at life(12) anti sytem were not a crust band they were hard core punk." They never said that "Defence of the Realm EP" included songs called "Bollox to the Gonads" and "Here's the Testicles", but that they contributed two songs to the album called Bollox to the Gonads - Here's the Testicles. This link reveals that that album is a compilation. The person who did the clean-up made the understandable mistake, given the original text's sheer incomprehensibility. StarryEyes 16:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, and good job sorting this all out. -Colin Kimbrell 17:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Yeah, fantastic! They still seem too obscure to warrant an article but they do indeed seem to have a chance at meeting WP:MUSIC so I changed my vote as well. If an admin wants to close this one, it's fine by me. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. — Article fails WP:WWIN in that the subject matter is not important. In other words the subject matter in unencyclopedic. It has no notoriety or other reason to be included in an encyclopedia. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) [ 22:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC) ]

Delete per nom. (Signed: J.Smith) 06:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I would argue that to several hundred people, if not thousands (let's include the lurkers), that the subject matter is important. That the signee has not heard of the subject should not be used as reason alone for deletion. I am sure if i searched through the wiki files I would find plenty of entries that I considered to be unimportant. As I stated last night when asking for the page to not be deleted, similar entries for other websites are included.

It is certainly more relevant than some esoteric mating ritual practised by a bunch of idiots in green jumpers with letters on them who attend some American establishment no doubt famous for its practise of unbridled Man-Love and named after a rather shabby British Dockyard.

Delete. Re: Dartmouth pong. There is a difference between a game that's been popular for decades among a notable community (Dartmouth is generally considered one of the ten most prestigious universities in America, not that that matters) and a typographical error/inside joke that is relevant to a handful of soccer fans. StarryEyes 15:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Reply: Whether a community is 'notable' is entirely subjective. Awag as a concept has been atround for several years, and is well referenced - 'handful' is your just perception - it is utterly incorrect. And it's football, thanks. Pear 16:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- Whether a community is notable or not is subjective, but degrees of notability are very concrete. I'd take a world-renowned university over a few soccer fans any day of the week, thanks. StarryEyes 16:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- - Ah, perhaps you'd be kind enough to direct me to your notability-o-meter? Again, there are considerably more than a few football fans out there to whom "Awag" means something. It means more to me than a university named after a stinking dock ever will. But I suspect I'll never reach the necessary levels of self-obsessed patronising bleating required to become 'established' enough on here to count for anything. Woe is me Pear 16:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  - You might want to try Google. "Dartmouth College" (including the quotes, thus excluding many relevant results, considering it is universally known as simply "Dartmouth" by all Americans) has 11,400,000 results. awag football (excluding quotes, thus including many irrelevant results) has a whopping 567. Anyway, don't make it out like I'm a Dartmouth-phile or anything. They rejected me, in fact. StarryEyes 16:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC) (Just had a look on GOOGLE, starryeyes is telling porkies. AWAG gets over 11,000 references. "Dartmouth Pong" got 208. Liar liar pants on fire................The comparison was between Dartmouth Pong and AWAG not Dartmouth and AWAG football. Cuntwipe.

For a start, it's not soccer. Secondly, I believe that the point has been made above as to why the "awag" entry should be kept. Reasons have been given such as it's appearance in books, newspapers and national radio. However this appears to be a dictatorship, and we are not being listened too because "zunaid" has too much time on his/her hands. The reason so many "sock puppets" have come on here, as you seem so keen to keep pointing out, is because of the popularity of the entry of awag, and our utter disbelief that you cannot see it's value. MHG

i occasionally wear shoes on my hands, does that make me a shoepuppet? Denby 16:16, 2 february 2006 (utc)

What MHG said, again I am not a sockpuppet but another person who has taken the time and effort to create an account in order that this unbelievably inane discussion comes to an end. To dismiss something so readily just beacuase you are unaware of it is staggering. AWAG is important to many many people and rightly deserves its place in history CaRtEr

Starryeyes, I find it fascinating that somebody who regards British music as so important can be so ignorant of the culture from which it grew. If you told Joe Strummer it was "soccer", and that Dartmouth College graduates were of greater worth than "soccer fans" he quite rightly call you a wanker.Jerichoharris 16:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- This whole debate is rather silly! I do hold a reverence for British music, like many Americans do, but my respect for British culture does not extend to typographical errors, nor should it! StarryEyes 16:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Let's say for comparison there was a very popular drinking game at Oxford with traceable lineage and so forth. Let's also say that there was an inside joke among a handful of American baseball fans stemming ultimately from a typographical error. Which would you say is more worthy of inclusion?)

FOOL. They both need inclusion. You are just sounding like a snob now. Oh, and by the way, this was un unsigned entry by a non-voting intruder blah blah blah. I never realised how pompous this wikipedia thing was. You might as well forget it and read a paper encyclopedia if you are not going to be inclusive.

The argument is "silly" because of your ignorance. You are ignorant of what AWAG is, or means, and of it's place in British culture. Given this level of ignorance how can you possibly be in a postition to judge whether or not it should be given a place in what professes to be a informative on-line encyclopedia.Jerichoharris 17:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

AWAG is not just a community, it's a way of life, a way of escaping boredom at work and at home with like minded people, It is also a perfect vehicle to co-ordinate social occasions across the country....sorry YOOKAY!, the football element contributes only a small percentage to that which is AWAG. Maybe you narrow minded fuckwits can't get your head around people who can actually manage their own lives and make their own decisions and generate their own community without having their heads up their own self important arses.

"Botcon" is a ridiculoous word, for fuck's sake - it sounds like a festival of anal adventure. AWAG is at least as "real" at least as "meaningful" and a milion times more significant than some bleach-faced Finnish Nazi sympathisers getting together with like-minded potential serial killers to spray their salty jizz over who has Galvatron in the most original original packaging.

I was going to write a right good polemic on why this should stay on the webiste but having come in this morning and read the sanctimonious whiny shit above I've changed my mind. Good grief. Rightio That you self-important arbiters of what should be on this website appoint yourselves on time served on website rather than experience or qualifications shows what an arrogant up your own arse bunch of cunts you americans are. This is cultural imperialism of the highest order. Relevance? I could care less that a bunch of webtards who live in their mother's basements fantasizing about shooting their school friends with their dads AK47 collection do not find an ENGLISH website (a very popular one, 1000000 hits a month at the height of it's popularity) relevant. I assume, rightly I imagine, that you have all written off to the Encyclopedia Brittanica and asked for all the bits you don't care about to be removed? Here's the news: AWAG, to many many Britons is as relevant and important as things you care about but we have never heard of are to you. Boo hoo you haven't heard of it. It's a comedic website, it doesn't profess to be anything more and as such it deserves to be kept on this encyclopedia (from the greek meaning 'encyclo' - everything' and 'pedia - fiddler of small children' - and quite right too, that is pretty much what you all are). SO hey ho, you small band of keepers of the truth don't want us to play. Never mind. We'll have as much fun searching the site and finding non-relevant and non-important entries as we would having the pleasure of seeing this entry accepted into the fold.

America uber alles eh? God bless George Bush and his beacon of truth democracy and justice.

Oh and as for it being badly written., THAT WAS THE POINT. IT'S COMEDY YOU CLUELESS BUNCH OF WEBSPAZ ANGLEPOISE CUNTLAMPS Sitheroo

Keep As an American working in Europe I am frankly dismayed by the attitude of both sides to this discussion, sadly especially my compatriots. Having moved to Munich in 1997 to work for my existing company I have had to put up with anti-american attitudes in all walks of life. Living in Germany this has become particularily hard in the last few years following the intervention in the Middle East situation. In my capacity as a member of AWAG [[8]] I constantly strive to improve relationships with our European Counterparts. Living in Europe has taught me to welcome the diversity of nations, to compare a German to a Frenchman is like comparing an Alaskan with a Mexican Immigrant, one simply can't.

I have a duty to promote AWAG in Europe both through social convertion and the internet, and have come across the alternative British meaning of the acronym on many occasions. While often typically British in attitude, one cannot doubt the growth in use of both the term and the relevance in their part of the world.

As mentioned before, I am saddened to see such dispute over this subject, Wikipedia is growing in reputation in all parts of Europe but particularily the United Kingdom I read, such actions sadly hinder this

Sincerely Yours

    - Sockpuppets was the wrong term on my part. I should have used meatpuppets, and the evidence is that a large number of anonymous users or newly registered users with no edit histories to speak of are speaking up in favour of this article. This is not usual practice for a deletion and indicates that somebody is trying to round up support. Lord Bob 04:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
      - Fair enough. The nom. for deletion was based on non-notability (phrased as non-notoriety). Meatpuppet & Sockpuppet votes will be discounted or disregarded, however it does seem to show that there is some minimal notability (notoriety?) on the subject. We have a fairly low threshold for notability (nearly every murderer or executed murder at least is considered notable enough, as are semi-deities in any number of sci-fi genres, and on and on). Years from now (encyclopedically speaking) these non-notables will not be remembered, but that doesn't preclude their appearance here. If we want to up the threshhold of notability (like we have done with music), I'd be all for it IFF we apply it consistently. In any event, at least I spurred some discussion. You'll note that generally my votes on AfD's are not anti-majoritarian although sometimes I state that I didn't necessarily agree with the rationale. If I end up as a minority of one, I think I can take it. :-) Carlossuarez46 21:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete - While there maybe some actually genuine and useful content buried somewhere in the article, the shear amount of irrelevancy, filler and intentional piss-taking, leads me to conclude the loss of any potentially genuine content is preferable to the reputation damage done by having such an atrocious article sitting in WikiP, and the loss of time necessary to bring it up to a minimum standard.

Better, but probably still not good enough for me to change my vote. There's no independent verification of the website's traffic claim, which seems to be the main claim to notability, and in one of the two newspaper references cited earlier, the main body of the reference is the sportswriter admitting that he's never heard the term and doesn't know what it means [9]. We need more verifiable, independent information about awag/awagging to demonstrate widespread usage. -Colin Kimbrell 14:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Why? Do people keeep insisting that many of the contributions on here are by 'sockpuppets'? What is to say that the people that say 'Delete' are not merely sockpuppets of the nominator?

Most of the people saying 'Delete' in this article have a well-established presence and edit history on this encyclopedia. (You can use this tool to check edit counts automatically, if you'd like.) It isn't practical to believe that the nominator would meticulously construct a 500+ post edit history for all of these people simply to abuse AFD process. Meanwhile, a lot of the people saying 'Keep' have only a dozen or so edits, almost all of which are to Awag or to this AFD discussion. It doesn't mean that they definitely are sockpuppets or meatpuppets, but it's certainly suspicious. -Colin Kimbrell 14:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment on this delete discussion I am still new to Wikipedia, however I have noticed a few things in this discussion and while looking around the place. Some of the administrators comments on this are rather poorly worded however there have been well voiced comments such as those of Colin Kimbell.

To be honest I get the feeling that most of the comments by the more experienced users are said without even reading the article, they call this jumping on the bandwaggon. There may be many reasons for this but I think that at least some of this is point chasing, from what I read some of the more childish users believe that the more edits one makes, the more important one is. They even have a list of most edits [[10]]

As a new user it is not my place to say that this is stupid but I have to say it comes across this way.

I must say that this episode has been an eye-opener for me.

I have, of course, heard of the concept of Wikipedia before, but this is the first time I have ever bothered to look in to it - that was as a result of being part of the Awag community.

My first thought about Wikipedia was that it was a foolish premise which was doomed to failure. Why would the entries in it be regarded as reliable, if they were penned by people with no authority, and freely open to vandalism by anyone (anonymously at that)?

The project does have virtues, of course, and the key one, apart from not having to pay people to insert and edit articles, would have to be inclusivity and scope. Here was the possibility to have an encyclopedia so comprehensive that no other could possibly compete. Even the most obscure facts could be embraced at no cost, apart from a few kilobytes of disk space.

However, this virtue seems to be being thrown away remarkably cheaply.

There are many valid reasons that could be put forward for removing Andy's Awag entry. It is not written in a journalistic style, and the origins and history of both the word and the community are not made clear enough. However, these things could be tidied up. It is true that to verify that Awag exists, and the facts about it are true is not easy, because of the sparsity of other web sites referencing Awag. In this case, we could have relied on the hundreds of other members of the Awag community to edit and correct the entry (apparently the whole idea of Wiki).

However, suggesting that entries should be excluded because they are "not famous enough" is not only an unwise criterion, it is also clearly being applied in an idiosyncratic and irrational way by an cliquey oligarchy of narcisstic bullies, seemingly drunk in their own solipsistic view of the World.

As an example, I noticed that a recently-deleted randomly-chosen article (which I have not had the opportunity to read) was called "Mesh computers". One reason put forward for the deletion was "I've lived in Britain for ten years now and never saw one single box manufactured by those people anywhere". I don't know what that signifies, but we have two in the family and at least two of my work colleagues also have one - so they do exist! Another comment: "links from the vanilla Google search are mostly just product reviews and thus do not indicate notability". There are, in fact, "about 64,000" matches for "Mesh Computers" in vanilla Google. How many do you need to be included?

The next deleted article after that was "Engineering Week - University of Alberta". Maybe not the most important subject in the World, it appears nevertheless to be earnestly and carefully written by someone who though it was worthy of inclusion, and there may be dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people who might have read it with interest. The author may have become a valuable contributor to Wikipedia, but I doubt he/she will ever bother with it again after the vitriolic and utterly inapproriate bile seen in the deletion page, e.g. "vanity", "Does anybody outside the Uni of Alberta give a shit", "boring", "dime-a-dozen University event", etc. These comments are spiteful, unnecessary and are simply a case of shooting onesself in the foot, by alienating people.

I note that one of the aims of Wikipedia,as stated by its founder, is to achieve the same quality as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or better(!). Frankly, this aim is so laughable as to be embarrassing. Tragically, Wikipedia is also failing miserably to play to its strengths of immediacy and inclusivity.

Personally, I doubt I will be bothering to access Wikipedia again, either as a contibutor or as a reader. If I want reliability, I can use Britannica. Wikipedia doesn't offer anything of value to me. In fact, to be honest, Awag is more valuable.

Ruth, please allow me to say that you are a shining beacon of sense in what other wise amounts to a dogshit-filled dark corner of a park of mental mayhem. I feel I should apologise for the US-phobic comments of some people here who appear to be doing their best to exhibit what they perceive to be the major drawbacks of the US i.e. a parochial, judgemental, cartoon picture of other lands. As I watch hour after our of news footage of people screaming "Allah Kebab Fallaffel!" and burning down the wrong embassies I feel it is my duty to extend an understanding hand of internationalist pragmatism to try to bring disparate, mutually suspicious groups of people together and elimante the suspicion and rancour over tiny issues which divides us. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to expelling a different, semi-liquid issue I have into an old sock, whilst concentrating on a digitised picture of (a pre-cancerous) Kylie Minogue.

As for the self-righteous Wiki-Napoleons, to quote Mr Reggie Noble; fuck all y'all. I expect Ruth has decomposing lint jammed under her big toe with infinitely more clue of what this Wiki-business is all about than you tossers. Read, mark and learn John BCEE'äs entry with as much attention as you would pay a UNIX manual or a 24 hour Transformer marathon. ONly then can you save yourselves FROM yourselves.

Many of the people on here who consider a lack of notability as a valid reason for deletion do so because they feel that it is a logical extension of Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. Some others feel that it's not possible to document a truly obscure thing without violating WP:VAIN/WP:NPOV, since the contributor wouldn't have heard about the obscure topic without direct personal involvement. It's still a matter of much debate, though. -Colin Kimbrell 04:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Two other things:

Please don't provide personal information for any user (other than yourself, if you're so inclined), be it names or phone numbers or addresses. It's generally considered very bad form to do so, as people should have a reasonable expectation of privacy when contributing here, if that is what they desire. -Colin Kimbrell 04:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I was just making a point Colin - it seems the 'regular' users feel the people involved here are not real.

[edit] Maxim magazine's 20 Most Annoying Songs Ever!

Clearly non-notable, highly subjective, has potential copyright problems, has no substantial content beyond the list, and is extremely time-sensitive.

Oppose delete (strong keep) As per comments above, if a third party had contributed this article there wouldn't be a problem. i think wikipedia's very value is in documenting the non-mainstream. If we wanted stuff on U2 or Queen or something we'd go to Allmusic or something.

- Comment: specifically We assume, however, that someone is an expert not only because of their personal and direct knowledge of a topic, but because of their knowledge of published sources on a topic. This policy prohibits expert editors from drawing on their personal and direct knowledge if such knowledge is unverifiable. WP:V trumps all, except possibly WP:IAR, but that's the usual frame of things around here. RasputinAXP _talk _contribs 21:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

"trumps all" seesm to asume some kind of points scoring thing, which doesn't interest me. If we want wikipedia to only focus on the mainstream and duplicate what the highly inaccurate (from my experience) 'allmusic' posits as 'notable',and sideline and delete the marginal, fine, but to me this diminishes the value of the entire project. quercus robur 22:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

It's not a points scoring thing; my meaning is that exclaiming "but it's obscure and needs to be kept" is overridden by the fact that Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia. Content must be verifiable, and if you're drawing on personal knowledge it still requires sources. If I was to write an article about kitten huffing drawing from my experience in underground world of kitten-dealing, I'd still have to show that there was a primary or secondary source supporting it. To fall back on "these things are undocumented and so it is up to us to document them" is to undermine what Wikipedia is trying to do: build a verifiable and neutral source of information that is freely available to the world as a whole. I feel a rant coming on, so I'll stop here and possibly continue on another subpage of my User page later. RasputinAXP _talk _contribs 22:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newton's fourth law

Nominated for speedy deletion, contested at WP:SD. Might as well put this through AfD. The two comments below are copied from WP:SD. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 03:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Google show 652 hits. Keep. --Walter Görlitz 02:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Those hits all seem unrelated to the content of the article; add a few more keywords (like "belief" or "annette") to the search and it gives zero hits. The article also contradicts the information at Isaac Newton. If anything, this page should in my opinion be a redirect to Newton's law of gravity, expect that we don't currently have a separate article on that. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 03:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

No, we shouldn't mnake that redirect, because as observed below, Newton's 4th 'is not gravitation — it is not anything; it does not exist. Newton has three and only three laws. Unlucky for him, but we shouldn't imply he has a 4th. -Splash^talk 03:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

See beyond the few hundred Google hits here. The term appears only to be used in humourous reference, and without any consistent reference (or any particular humour, but anyway). There appears to be a couple of hits enquiring why Newtons 4th isn't gravitation, but the answer is just "it isn't". I can't see the use of an article about a humorous, but meaningless idiom nor one about what the 4th law definitely isn't. It's not like Gravitation is often referred to as Newton's 4th, either, so let's not go there. If I must cite WP:NOT, then this would be NOT a slang or idiom guide, not a jokebook and not an indiscriminate collection of 'information'. Delete. -Splash^talk 03:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd vote merge if there was anything here worth keeping, but it's just a lot of unsorced original research and POV analysis. It reads like an article from a gun mag, and there really isn't anything that could be adapted to an encyclopedia that we don't already have. It's got everything wrong with it from predictions about the future to unsourced assertions to blatant POV. Heck, it's even signed. We're better off to just delete this.

[edit] Ethan Jodziewicz

Delete as a blank page asking to be deleted. Google comes up with nothing. Hdstubbs 04:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The history shows content here. if this were a clearly notable person, a request from the subject (even if verified to be from the subject, which this is not) would not justify deeltion. However, the articel makes few if any claims to notability -- it is almost to the WP:CSD A7 nn-bio level. The article describes a student or recently graduated musician, claims no published work, and no particualrly notable performances. It reads like a CV or a concert program bio. Delete as non-notable. DES ^(talk) 04:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Midnight Special (store)

Delete. Nonnotable bookstore. Leppy 02:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Leppy, Thanks for asking for my feedback on Midnight Special. I'd say that the decision to keep or delete depends upon the overall goals of the Wikipedia's page on Independent bookstores. It was one of Los Angeles' most notable independent bookstores before its closing which is why I added it to the page. If, however, it makes more sense to simply list the name on the Independent bookstore page without a Wikilink, go ahead and do that. I'll leave it up to a general vote. -- Classicfilms

If there really is something that makes it notable beyond just being on that list, then I'd like to see it. I do think that a lot of people in wikiland are too quick to suggest delete on articles that they don't see the use of. I'd not like to be one of those people, so if there is more to it, let's see it. Expand the article to give the significance of the Midnight Special.Leppy 04:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment There are so many things called "Midnight Special" and "The Midnight Special" that there really should be a disambig page instead of just these two variants. (Such as the "Midnight Special" train, the song "Midnight Special," the radio show "Midnight Special," etc.) Crypticfirefly 06:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC) In fact, maybe I'll do that right now.

- Comment In keeping complient with the GFDL, We cannot simply copy and paste the article. We have to do a move, then an admin can delete the scatalogical edits before my total rewrite. I almost did the move a second ago, but I am pretty sure that it isn't appropriate to do a move while an AfD is ongoing (although I could be wrong). Youngamerican 20:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  - As you are the only author of the new article, I don't see anything that stops you from putting your article at Mississippi mud pie via cut and paste. You are essentially resubmitting your own material again, not really copying. Kusma (討論) 21:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    - Even though I have made 3 edits? Im going to rummage around some precedents here, hold on. Youngamerican 21:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment I copied this from the policy guide on moving pages: The "move page" function keeps the entire edit history of the page, before and after the move, in one place, as if the page were always named that way. So, you should never just move a page by cutting all the text out of one page, and pasting it into a new one; old revisions, notes, and attributions are much harder to keep track of if you do that.

This seems to indicate that the article should not be copied and pasted, even by me. I am putting up a RfC on this one. Youngamerican 21:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

No need for a move, I simply deleted the articel and restored only the newer revisions. Thus the history is intact for your three revisions, but the older ones are gone. DES ^(talk) 22:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep, because this information is, in fact, verifiable. The AC/EP is mentioned on MxPx's official website, mxpx.com (more specifically, here). This is an EP released by well-known band MxPx and I can't possibly see why this would be "unverifyable." EdGl 06:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge with B-Movie (DVD) Both items are sold together in a 2-disk set, disk one being the "B-Movie" and disk 2 being "The AC/EP" (they're not sold separately). Both articles are stubs anyway, so I think they should be combined. EdGl 06:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC) EdGl 06:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- Please note that the title of this 2-disk set is "B-Movie", and that The AC/EP is included in this. Therefore, if this article were to be merged with B-Movie (which it should), move The AC/EP article to the B-Movie (DVD) article and not vice-versa. And of course make "The AC/EP" redirect to "B-Movie (DVD)". EdGl 02:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

    - I don't nominate very many articles for deletion; it seems to me that the explanatory text is important, but putting the first bullet down feels like an attempt to channel groupthink to direct the discussion in a certain way.

Keep. Although this band lacks "notability", this is not a good reason to delete this article, since Wikipedia:Notability is not an official Wikipedia guideline. I believe that obscure content is not harmful to Wikipedia, so this article should be kept. (No hard feelings if it winds up being deleted, though.) EdGl 07:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Notability (music) is a guideline. If you had read the introductory paragraph of Wikipedia:Notability before you cited it, you would have learned this. Ikkyu2 16:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  - I tend to agree with your point about obscure content -- really, obscure things that someone might someday search are one of the primary values of an encyclopedia. But, there's a distinction here -- encyclopedias don't make things notable, and enhancing perceived notability is often the purpose of articles herein re. very new or unreferenced topics.

Delete, WP:MUSIC Bad ideas 21:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment After reading Capitalistroadster's input on the matter, I agree with him; this band does not meet the guidelines now, but they may in the future. For the record, this band's producer Brad Wood co-produced a Smashing Pumpkins album and produced several Placebo albums ([15]). Edison Glass toured with Roper, The O.C. Supertones, and The Wedding, all well-known bands within the Christian scene [16]. Also, their cd "A Burn or a Shiver" will be released in April in many major electronics stores in the U.S. (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) I do not know if this makes the band "notable" or not, but at the very least it gives the band the definite potential to deserve an article on Wikipedia. Therefore, you may delete this article if you want; I'm guessing it's no trouble to start it up again once it meets the guidelines. In the meantime I will study these guidelines and then write this article again when appropriate. As a new Wikipedian I am still learning :-). EdGl 21:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep as I read WP:MUSIC there's no reason any act that's done a tour in the United States to be deleted on grounds of non-notability. --AlexWCovington (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent find, Alex. Wikipedia:Notability (music) states the following: "A musician or ensemble...is notable if it...Has gone on...a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country..." In that case, Edison Glass is indeed a notable band; if this article is deleted, then it would be a violation of an official Wikipedia guideline. EdGl 03:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: I've updated the article to be more in line with Wikipedia standards for band articles. --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your excellent edits to the Edison Glass article. When I get a chance I will add some information regarding their nationwide tour with Roper, and any further information I can find on this band. EdGl 05:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forty-nine character virtues

List of vague adjectives with no connecting ideas or explanations. Nothing noteworthy to keep and the ideas are directly copied from the author's personal webpage[18] save biblical references.

[edit] Self-Organizing Collaborative Networks

Contributor’s conclusion: You are wrong, I am right, but I did a lousy job this time and don't have the time to spare at this momnet to do better; so let’s xxx it. I’ll do the honor and clean it out as best I can myself right now. I shall be back with this, but the next time I’ll get it right. Thanks for the lesson. Useful. ericbritton 16:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

This appears to be original research of some sort, on a topic we all know and love. The article seems to consist mostly of a long list of other wp articles, plus assorted "notes to self" and "notes to collaborators". linas 06:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: Another reason to delete is that the title of this article is a neologism and WP has specific policies against such things.

Respectfully disagree ericbritton 18:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC) (See below)

Hmm. If ever there was a concept that I should think Wikipedia should be making room for it is precisely this “ Self-Organizing Collaborative Networks”. This is not to defend the quality of the present entry/intended place holder and starting block – but I do think it argues for someone coming in and lend a helping hand at a time when I am up to my neck in survival tasks (all of which incidentally involve . . . self-organizing collaborative networks – click to http://www.ecoplan.org and its dozen or so focus programs to see how this works in the real world. . . warts and all).

I have to say that I am a bit surprised at the virulence, but above all disappointed at the stolid unanimity of this reaction. I would have anticipated in a place such as this more variety of response, more creativity So let me see if I can weigh in here with a thought or two which to my mind suggests that zapping this entry in process would be a bad move. I am incidentally pleased to have this opportunity, because I am a big believer in cognitive dissonance as a knowledge building tool. We try to use this in our own international work to welcome a purposeful, rich imbalance of views and positions within a shared forum, and then let them rip. And since we have a small example of this here, well let’s have a look.

For starters, I came to the House of Wikipedia a few months ago with both genuine curiously and real interests. As I rattled around in it over the last month or so, I been impressed by much of what I have seen and experienced, but also noted with some surprise quite a number of to my mind outstanding omissions – almost all of which in a broad area which I would characterize as “conceptual thinking about critical challenges of society and technology”. To the extent that there is not even an entry for this critical tool . . . or at least was not until earlier this afternoon in which I sat down to knock in a first cut which you will find of course at [[19]], which you may not like either ;-). (BTW, don’t you find it a bit strange that something as important as this had not been at least opened up as an entry. Of course this is not quite fair, since the Wikipedia is still very new and since it is natural that you would set out at first in more charted waters. But hey, but here we are.)

We live in an era in which change and speed of change are more than ever and faster than ever metrics of our daily lives. And while much of the world is indifferent to this, there is a growing current of thinkers and doers who understand that new concepts, new ways of organizing our societies, daily lives and actions are critical to our collective well being. I can think of two good reasons why Wikipedia of all new institutions should recognize this underling reality. First, because you yourselves are an example of this very process of adaptation. And second, if you cannot gear up to handle these new categories of emergent trends, then you will show that you are stuck in the old model. Let me see if I can be more concrete for you.

Let’s look at a traditional “transition instrument” for just one moment which has had no problem finding its ay into these pages. Say [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amherst_College Amherst College]. There it is: grounded today in a physical and institutions structure, but in 1820 nothing more than an idea on the part of (mainly) a single person, [Noah Webster], that what was going on at [Harvard College was somehow not good enough. A concept in 1820, bricks and motor (and hopefully a bit more) in 2006. Okay? The point that I am trying to make is that at one point a simple “concept” – not mind you a ‘research project’ – can gradually advance to the point where it becomes a or at least a potential “society shaping” phenomenon which is worthy of explicit note. Including in a place like the Wikipedia. Let’s move up a couple of notches in terms of abstraction.

Consider for example that of [sustainable development], a phrase in a report in the late 1980’s and even to this day a concept which is not at all well understanding (nor, sadly, particularly effective as a policy molding or even informing device). And yet, here it is – not very profound but workmanlike and probably as good as the concept itself deserves.

Let me take this even closer to the bone and draw to your attention the new (and still very much in process ) entry on [sustainable transportation] . Neither of these two concepts have bricks and mortar to prove to the world that they do indeed exist, but there they are and at least in this latter case that are in fact actively informing public policy, if not in every administration that might come to your minds at least in enough places for them to be considered useful and usefully evolving shaping concepts.

So, if all this of this true – and I can see a number of people who might already be asleep on this one – what about the present and admittedly weak and, yes!, badly in need of work entry on Self-Organizing Collaborative Networks? Is it subject for the virtual dustbin to which the six of you are consigning it. I think you are wrong friends, because this is one of the most important operational concepts around that is as yet poorly understood but nonetheless going to take on better definition and with it increased importance in the ways in which we organize ourselves for a better world. And part of this process of definition is indeed its presence in Wikipedia which is increasingly a first- stop shop for anyone who wants to know what is up in the world we live in.

If this don’t work – and since we know the underlying concept to be as hard as steel -- we can always take solace in the words of Max Planck when it comes to how scientific truths must sometimes make their way:

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

Oh yeah. My vote: Keep it and help make it better. ericbritton 16:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Eric, Wikipedia is not a blog nor a place at which to publish vague articles on pop phenomena. There are plenty of other places for this kind of creative output: wikis such as "everything2", refereed journals such as "first monday", or personal web pages. This article is no more appropriate than it would be to have allowed Eric Raymond to first publish his "Homesteading the Noosphere" essay here. WP is not the place for original research. linas 18:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

In fact, after the vote is over, I suggest that this article be a redirect to Homesteading the Noosphere. linas 18:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. If ericbritton wants to create an article he should do it completely and in one moment, not to leave it in such state for months. The article as it is now doesn't fit any Wiki criteria. My vote is about quality, not about validity of the topic. Pavel Vozenilek 22:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete, but possibly merge some of the content into Massively distributed collaboration, which pre-dates it and covers some of the same ground. It's indeed an interesting developing topic, but I agree with Pavel Vozenilek that the quality of the article is inadequate: it not only appears to breach the Wikipedia policy of no original research (which no one has explicitly mentioned but I hope ericbritton has read), but also ignores other style and content guidelines, for example by including a section signed by Eric, and even by having underscores in wiki links. -- JimR 02:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bush Crimes Commission

Delete

The "Commission" which is the topic of this page is not notable and does not rise to Wikipedia's standard for acceptability. This "commission" has no more credibility than a mock trial conducted in a law school class, or even in a high school social studies class.

The "indictments" hold no weight, and the supposed court has no jurisdiction to act on its "findings"

Many of the criticisms mentioned in the article are already raised in their respective articles about the specific issues.

Much of the rest of the article is filled with original research that is not cited.

Given that there seems to be no support to keep this as an independent article, I suggest Merge into Triva section of Stargate SG-1 RayGates 22:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
In the nn artical, it says something about having over 5,000 users. I have evidence of numbers over the last 12 months. SGCSim.com has 1,003 downloads. Original release on SG1files.com has 4,304 downloads, and the latest release on SG1files.com has 11,501 downloads. Thats a total of 16,808 downloads. And that is only over the last 12 months maximum. Every time the SGCSim.com website gets erased (has happened from various hosts), the number count is reset there. Last time that happened was June 2005. The counts from SG1files.com are starting from April 2005. I would safely estimate at least twice of what we have evidence for. And this doesn't include versions before v5.0.2, as there were no recorded counts for them. (v1, v2, v3, and v4.1). We should at least Merge the two articals. tpg1989 23:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- 5000 downloads doesn't equate to 5000 users, especially if there have been so many releases. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-04 03:40Z
  - The number I gave you was for the current version, 5.0.2, and its not even for all the downloads of that version. On SG1files.com, it was released there as 5.0.2, and then re-released with a tiny change. Users were advised that if they had already downloaded it that there was no need to download the other one. It is 16,808 recorded downloads for version 5.0.2. Numbers were not recorded before 2005, and previous versions of the sim have been around from at least 2002. tpg1989 06:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Palaeoxylology

This term doesn't seem to exist. "Palaeoxylology" only gets wiki mirrors and what I believe to be the correct spelling ("paleoxylology") gets none. It's therefore inappropriate to put it in either wikitonary or wikipedia unless an offline source is found. (I tagged it on Wiktionary as well) Mgm|^(talk) 11:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

See my comment below. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: google for "palaeoxylological" for a change, to keep the mirrors out. It's certainly a valid, existing term, being used in titles of a few academic papers, though not terribly frequent. That it means what the article says it means seems clear (Greek "palaeo" and "xylon" 'wood'). Whether we can get enough material about it for a Wikipedia (as opposed to Wiktionary) stub, I can't say. Lukas ^(T.|@) 11:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
The article was a decent stub before Brya moved the content to wiktionary (thereby removing its edit history from normal view on wikipedia) and replaced it with a wiktionary hyperlink. I suggest we reinstate the original version. Aecis ^Mr. ^Mojo ^risin' 12:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep as per above Jcuk 22:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep On a side note I hate the word "cruft." (I may have used it once or twice to fit in, but never again) You should use real words to explain your disapproval. It seems to me "cruft" is just a catch-all "I don't like this, but I have no convincing reason why" word.--T. Anthony 04:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay the link to the word listcruft, an article you created, says it means:Obsolete, non-notable, or only of interest to a few. Well as this is a living language with existing TV channels obsolete doesn't apply. The language is apparently spoken by 70 million so it's not non-notable or "only a few" either.--T. Anthony 11:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

That said it needs attention. After almost three years it has only three names two of them red links. If there actually are that few Marathi language channels this should perhaps, instead, become an article on Marathi language television. Lists are often best when, as a list, they are too long to work in an article.--T. Anthony 11:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: I agree. However, I am not using "cruft" as a catch-all - I cited a reason at the top of my nomination.
Keep, potentially useful. Just because articles haven't been created yet, doesn't mean those redlinks should be deleted. They promote article creation. Besides, cruft is not a valid reason to delete something. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Appears to be a list created just for the sake of having such a list, and/or of interest to very few people. In other words, it is listcruft. Stifle 11:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. If we're going to delete this one then we'd have to delete every single list in List of musicians because this list is no more or less significant than the others.

Merge to Illbient which seems to be a pretty small article and maybe a list would give a better sense of what kind of music it means.--T. Anthony 04:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep , I guess. I've never heard of "illbient" music before but I guess it sounds like something I'd like. Cyde Weys 06:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Decahedron (band)

Article fails WP:MUSIC (none of the notability criteria satisfied) and WP:V (MySpace is not considered a reliable source). Zunaid 12:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: This article is filled with what would potentially be considered trivial and "unencyclopedic" detail. (It is not necessary to know the band's every move is it?). Were this to be removed the "encyclopedic" content would probably be speediable. I nominated this after about half an hour of digging through Wikipedia and Google. I have a concern that many (if not all) of the wikilinks in this article are to articles that themselves may be candidates for deletion. The entire structure of bands → artists who've played in them → other bands the artists have played in seems to be holding itself up by bootstrapping. I've chosen to nominate this one article to "test the waters" as it were (don't want to violate WP:POINT). However, if anyone else thinks it is justified, please include several of the other articles as well. Zunaid 12:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buling

I can find no additional references concerning this creature or the person cited for discovering the creature, Martin Buling. This article certainly looks legit; however, there are no references. I simply don't know if this is made up or not. As for me, I'd vote Delete unless References are cited, because I simply don't believe this article. James084 12:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

delete in the abscence of any references it feels like a hoax. Thryduulf 13:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Reads as a joke or hoax. "The Buling's existence is in controversy since there are only few amounts of material to support it actuality. The person who alledged to discover this creature is Marvin Buling, deriving it's name from his family name. Many believe that no such creatures exist and that the person who discovered it is often questioned for his sanity."

[edit] Bob Fink

Marked for speedy deleteion as an nn-bio but there is plenty of assertions of notability so it doesn't qualify. I haven't checked any of the claims so no vote. Thryduulf 13:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete or Rewrite I can't say for sure because the author uses an IP address rather than a username, but given the other contributions of this user (see Talk:Divje_Babe), I'm fairly confident that it is WP:AUTO. Additionally, I think that WP:NOT soapbox could be an issue due to the content of the Social Activism section of the article. Withdrawing my vote After reading the article's Talk page, I won't assume the subject is NN. I still have questions about whether this is WP:AUTO or at the very least an article submitted by a close acquaintance of the subject, which is what concerned me the most about this article. --Bugturd Talk 13:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Obvious Keep. "I'm pissed off at the author/subject of the article and don't care whether it meets the criteria for deletion" is not a reason to nominate an article for deletion; instead, it's arguably a WP:POINT violation. Monicasdude 15:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. There is a tendency on wikipedia to delete all controversial pages. Just because the neanderthal flute is not accepted as a flute by many others in the field does not mean Finks page should be deleted.--Rdos 18:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep but move current text to user page Definitely notable. But in the current form, a lot of it is a fairly close mirror of the Author's Background section at www.greenwych.ca. Talk at Talk:Bob Fink and Talk:Divje Babe makes it clear that this article is sourced by Bob Fink's publisher, if not Bob Fink himself [21], which makes it in breach of WP:VAIN and Wikipedia:Autobiography

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your business, your publications, your website, and any other possible conflict of interest. Wikipedia has gone through many prolonged disputes about the significance, factual accuracy, and neutrality of such articles, including one about Jimmy Wales himself [22]. Refraining from such editing is therefore important in maintaining Wikipedia's neutral stance and in avoiding the appearance of POV-pushing).
I suggest therefore, that the current version should go to the Greenwych (talk · contribs) user page, and Bob Fink be edited down - by non-involved editors - to more encyclopedic form. Tearlach 12:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

If I recall, the autobiolgraphical policy is called a "soft" policy, whatever that means. I assume it means that the merits of the page (verifiable, notable, educationally informative) can trump the policy on occasion. Can you cite an example of that -- e.g. Wales? His edits and page remain, I think, no? The facts, docs and verifications I posted will read the same whether as publisher, I posted them with a biased relish or with bored aloofness. --Candace. I also quote "Largevelho" from the talk page:

--Lagarvelho 19:50, 2 February 2006)"I think this article should be kept in Wikipedia. Why? Fink may not be a "well-known" person, but he is well known among musicians and musicologists, and has done important work in the field of the origins of music. Whether one agrees or disagrees with his conclusions about this subject is another question, and whatever his political views, they are more or less irrelevant to his views on the earliest music and instruments."

"The facts, docs and verifications I posted will read the same whether as publisher, I posted them with a biased relish or with bored aloofness."

Whoever posted them, they need the same fact-checking. For instance, I have just removed to the Talk page a completely untrue claim that "Fink [in 1995] was among the first to write a computer program that could compose melodies by itself".

Really, Tearlach, you should try to quote in context. First of all, the key words in the quote which you claim is "completely untrue" are: "among the first" and "by itself." Also check the webpage announcing the program (which was nominated by Discover magazine for one of its contests in 1997 -- we have their letter). The webpage says: "This MAY be the world's first..." and further down, Fink mentions earlier programs than his that combined snippets from existing music, but that his program works from scratch, and Fink is then quoted: "I THINK I was AMONG the first to develop such a program," that writes melodies by itself. Taking all comments together hardly qualifies your claim it is "completely untrue. Are you looking for flaws and faults rather than making serious arguments? I hope not.

Oh, please, this is sheer sophistry. Computer generated music - including computer-generated melodies - predates Bob Fink's Serendipity by at least 20 years. Even with reservations like "may" and "think" and quibble about what "by itself" means, it's a bullshit claim. That you're trying to defend it is pretty good evidence of why this article needs independent editing. Tearlach 03:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
How come you get to add your B.S. after the decision was made to delete anyway and to not alter this page???? You're a little crooked, sonny. "Among" is a real word with real meaning. But your hostile misrepresentations already got you your way. It's deleted. Whatmore do you want -- the Last Word? Okay. -- Knock yourself out! I'll leave a space for you right below. Candace 65.255.225.34 04:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Use of space accepted because I've no idea what you mean. The article hasn't been deleted, and I never did vote for deletion: just copying the full version to the Greenwych (talk · contribs) user space, and editing the article space version to an independently written encyclopedic form. Tearlach 04:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I also quote "Largevelho" from the talk page
Note also that assessors of AfDs are generally alert to meatpuppets that appear as entirely new accounts that spring up to defend articles against deletion. Tearlach 00:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

If you're implying that I organized the entry by Largevelho, that's a lie. You have no evidence for that nor can you have any. How credible would it be if I claimed without evidence that the person below voting "delete" (Douglas Smith) was some one you arranged to write in against me just because he is a "new" user? If you continue on this tack, Mr. Tearlach, make sure you format it in caps and italics and with plenty of space so it can be seen afar and thus carry more weight for your false accusations. Anyway, I've had enough of this. Say whatever you wish. Others know how to fact-check as well as you. Candace 65.255.225.34 01:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep This page should be kept. Whether or not the Divje Babe object is a flute, the article represents the point of view, not only of fink, but of a number of other experts. Perhaps it could be edited and joined with the viewpoints of those who think Divje Babe is not a flute, but it should most definitely be kept. Anne Gilbert - unsigned edit by new editor Lagarvelho (talk · contribs)
I am in complete agreement with Anne Gilbert. Robert Henvell, Australia. - unsigned edit by new editor Henvell (talk · contribs)
Delete The article is interesting and certainly not offensive, but it appears to be written by Mr. Fink himself for the purpose of promoting his ideas and his publications, and thus to fall into the vanity category. I have not read these publications and have no opinion on their validity, but I note that many appear to have been self-published (Greenwych or Greenwich Publishers). We therefore have no idea if they underwent any sort of critical peer review, as all scholarly materials in conventional journals and books do. There are references elsewhere in Wikipedia to some of Mr Fink's ideas, and links to his personal website. Douglas Smith - unsigned comment by new editor 71.141.121.176 (talk · contribs)

FYI: Fink was invited by Nature_journal to serve as a juror, for peer review, as an expert on ancient music. He was invited to write a rebuttal article in the peer-reviewed [proceedings] of a world archaeology conference Studies in Music Archaeology III, published in 2003. Another Fink article was published in the multi-lingual journal of the Study Group on Music Archaeology, Archaeologia Musicalis, 1988, also peer-reviewed, and also was cited in several articles in the MIT (Mass. Inst. of Technology) 2000 book Origins of Music; He also appears in Science magazine, Scientific American, and other peer-reviewed books, magazines and journals, in addition to Greenwich Publishers.

[edit] En Masse

Article about a band that altough doesn't seem notable itself has members from previous bands that may or may not be notable (they all need checking - I haven't done this). To my mind this means it deserves a hearing at AfD rather than being speedied (for which it was marked). No vote. Thryduulf 13:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete as CSD:A7. I initially marked this as a speedy as the article itself is merely a list of band members' names. IMHO it is still speediable. Zunaid 13:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Please also take a look (and vote!) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Decahedron (band) (further up this AfD page somewhere). These articles all form a wikilinked chain of band → band member(s) → other band(s) they've played in. The problem is very few (if any) of them seems to be notable per WP:MUSIC, and almost certainly some of them don't deserve their own article. I hesitate to nominate them all for deletion, and will see first how these two AfD debates go. Zunaid 13:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Full to the rafters with cruft, but that beside the point. The actual issue is verification. The Nicholas Pegg link doesn't mention this forum, an my mole-vision can't confirm anything from the tiny writing. Ditto with the David Buckley link. This doesn't mean that I don't believe, just that the evidence given doesn't allow me to easily decide. There's nothing else in the article like a reliable source. I am unable to discern from the above if the "keep" recomendations above are based upon the (possibly spurious) claims regarding the biography or if they've actually seen the printed works. I'd also note that the reason guidelines at WP:WEB now no longer mention number of registered users, since there is no way to tell if a website is reporting those facts (about itself) accurately. Always happy to have more information presented.

There's no officially or unofficially recognized metropolitan area corresponding to this term. The two terms in real use are Greater Toronto Area (which doesn't include Hamilton) and Golden Horseshoe (which does include the Hammer, but doesn't end there.) Hell, Toronto and Hamilton aren't even really considered a single media market, even though virtually all of the radio and television stations in both cities serve the whole region. So the term basically signifies nothing whatsoever...or at least nothing that isn't already covered more adequately by the GTA and Golden Horseshoe articles. Delete.

[edit] De Lemos Clan

Please RetainThe LaVoz article is not a 'press report.' It is an opinion from a guy who apparently does sceptical and contrarian editorials, and seemingly wants to argue with the Encyclopedia Britannica references on the town. This Wikipedia article discusses the clan, not the town: Except for peripheral comments it is not a 'delirious history' of the area as his editorial claims. Legendary or oral history matters are clearly marked, which the editorial implies are not; and give relevant context to how clan members approach problems. The rest is well referenced, speaks for itself, is not disputed in the editorial, and contradicts the editorial's implications.

[edit] List of bumper sticker phrases

Not encyclopedic. The political content of some stickers could start PoV disputes by being listed. ZekeMacNeil 21:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

List was started because the phrases were being added to the original article (which in turn, by the way it was written seemed to below standard anyway) ad hoc in no particular order or emphasis.

Killing a list because of the "potential" of being a POV war suggests caution which in the end depends upon who join in on ths vfd i suppose. There is a possibility that there is another list somewhere that might be an alternative to this one for the phrases. Also it was originally very US-centric, making no allowance for the rest of the world : ) Maybe someone on uncyclopedia should hijack the contents to make a feature article there.

A blogger who gets interviewed on television, and has multiple news articles done about her (carried internationally, both print and internet), and makes the front page of Yahoo! news is more notable than some of the Pokemon characters who have articles at your site; especially considering she had 800 daily visitors, before being interviewed. How many bloggers does the AP interview each year? I bet its a short list. Qasdd

Note: Qasdd has been blocked by Raul654 as a sockpuppet of banned user Lir. See block log. --Teh Puppet 06:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I believe that having a Wikipedia entry could be beneficial for those who might have seen some of the recent publicity and who would like more information about the blogger. The article as it stands now doesn't contain very much information, but as others find the entry they can add more. The subject of the article has been told about the existence of this article, and she may very well have something to add to it. If there turns out to not be a need for this article, and no new information has been added for some time, then the article can always be deleted later. What does it hurt to keep it at this point, and just find out if there is a demand for it? Rainnede 18:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep although it needs attention. And although having a blog per se does not automatically connote notability, the fact that said blog - 1) is featured in AP, Yahoo News and Gawker 2) deals with a unique subject matter (life of a female new york taxi driver) 3) has received a lot of positive feedback from people in geographically diverse locations like New York, Texas, UK, Australia - means that it is notable.
Delete. Blogs, even popular blogs, have a tough hurdle to pass to claim notability because anyone can set one up and advertise one, and fleeting media interest isn't enough to assert lasting notability. —Cleared as filed. 19:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete simple advertising.--B.U. Football For Life|Talk 17:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep.The article doesn't need to be deleted, just expanded to include more information relevant to this particular company. It's definitely not an advertisement, as it's in NPOV, is verifiable and contains some original research. It just doesn't contain enough original research. I added this page to give people some information about one of Omnicom Group's companies, and that is all it does. It does not "[emphasize] desirable qualities so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize", as is the definition of advertising. It only gives information on a company, like hundreds of other company stubs and company pages on Wikipedia. This page is no more advertising for Resolution Media than those pages are for those companies, and does not violate any of Wikipedia's rules. It should be kept.

[edit] List of schools in Thailand

Apart from being redundant since categories already exist, this list will never be complete, and gives a false impression of noted Thai schools. Paul C 17:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep and expand per precedent from the category cited by Mareino. I'm a layman, and -ase is the bio-chem suffix I know best, except maybe -ose. If not expanded to show how important this is in biochemistry, then maybe just make it a redirect to Enzyme, as it's a quite plausible search term. Is a leading hyphen considered inappropriate for an article-space title? I note that it was a working article link. Barno 00:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Redirect to their appropriate chemical articles. -ane to alkane, -ol to alcohol, etc. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- E.g. if I redirect -ane to alkane, the information about what "-ane" means will be buried among a mass of other matter, since it is impossible to make a redirect go to a specific paragraph. Anthony Appleyard 07:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

An unfinished experimental film -- work began in 2001. See also Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bryce Beverlin II.

[edit] Henry Peters

Was tagged for speedy deletion by ~~Hansnesse~~ an anon user as nn-bio, but he doesn't think it should be speedied himself. Copying comments from talk page below. howch e ng {chat} 18:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Henry Peters: I have not researched the guy to check verifiability I should think 17th century explorers, who discovered major finds, etc. are notable. If this is to be deleted, it should be via AfD process I should think. I'm checking verifiability to ensure not a hoax, but definitely not speedy material. --Hansnesse 02:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Increasingly, this article is looking suspicious. The Temple of Castor and Pollux seems to be in Rome, not Sicily. Moreover, it seems strange that an explorer would "discover" it so late in history. I could find no reference to "Henry Peters" in any database I checked. I withdraw my objection to deletion, although suggest it would be better as an AfD, in case I missed something. I will add a hoax tag as well. --Hansnesse 02:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment I did not tag for speedy deletion. That was done by the anon ip 82.54.167.161 (contribs), see this edit. I was investigating the article when it was tagged for speedy and wanted to figure out what was going on before deletion. I put on the hangon tag and think this is the appropriate place. I am open to further investigation revealing this guy is real, but I don't see it. --Hansnesse 18:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment User:86.128.100.73 (contribs) just posted a reference to "The Concise Dictionary of 16th Century Archaeologists (1852)." This book is not mentioned in OLCL (a worldwide catalogue of books), the US Library of Congress, Google or Google Scholar, Historical Abstracts (a subscription service), or Oxford University Library. It is impossible to rule out that this book exists, of course, but if this is the only source for verifiability, I think it is safe to say it is unverifiable. Particularly since the book (if it is indeed the source) got the location of the Temple of Castor and Pollux wrong, it would seem to be unreliable. --Hansnesse 01:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable toiletries company absorbed by Colgate over a decade ago.

Keep needs clean up. Mennen is a notable brand, and we have pages for many similar brands. This is a useful stub to start from - better than starting from blank as there is some history here like location. I think we should rename to Mennen, but I think this is unhelpful during the Afd.Obina 20:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deutschland class cruiser

Delete There is a better article about the same thing at Pocket battleship --Yooden

Keep, while "pocket battleship" is the term for the genre of the Deutschland-class, the class itself deserves an article as well, like all warship classes. If anything, pocket battleship should redirect to the class, but I don't think that's necessary. Lord Bob 21:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, as I mention above, Pocket battleship is an article about the class. --Yooden

I'm not quite sure how to express my opinion. Words are not forming in my brain. I shall try...while pocket battleship could be quite a reasonable article on the background and things, Deutschland class cruiser could be quire a reasonable article on the technical characteristics associated with class pages. In addition, if one should be merged into the other, it should be Pocket battleship into Deutschland class cruiser. Was I able to make sense that time? Lord Bob 21:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Nice plan. Currently however, Deutschland class cruiser is a subset of Pocket battleship, so it should go. Later on, the then single article can be named as it is deemed best. Currently we have three articles about the individual ships, two about the class and one category. Cleanup is required. --Yooden

Keep as per Lord Bob Jcuk 21:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Move pocket battleship to Panzerschiff ('armoured ship'), which is the name of this ship class in German. Make Deutschland class cruiser a redirect to Panzerschiff. In particular, as each of the three ships have their own article including relevant technical information, and Deutschland class cruiser holds no further information, there is no need for two articles. Sliggy 22:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep!!!! WP:Ships has had extensive discussions about organizing ship articles, and this one is perfectly in line with the arrived concensus. See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) for further talk on the matter. Pocket battleship should remain as an article about the term, not specifically about the Deutschland class (although it is true that it is the only class to be called by the term), which information belongs exactly in the targetted article. Panzerschiff is a fine name for the German Wikipedia, but not for the English version. The Deutschlands really weren't 'Panzerschiff' at all (the term was used for political/legal cover). Keep Deutschland class cruiser, keep pocket battleship. Josh 15:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't mind an article about the class, but there are two, and one is a subset of the other.

No, only Deutschland class cruiser is a class article. Pocket battleship is a ship type article. Josh 20:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes, and the ship type has exactly three ships, the same as the class. Don't you think it's a bit nit-picking to make a distinction here? Some quotes: "Pocket battleship(s ...) were also known as the Deutschland class", "The British began referring to the (Deutschland class cruisers) as pocket battleships" --Yooden

Why would you want one article about one specific nickname and one about everything else?

The nickname represents an interesting phenomenon, which it can be argued is worhy of an article to discuss. I would tend to agree, given the term's unique presence in naval history. However, it doesn't mitigate the need for the correct class article Deutschland class cruiser. 20:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The nickname is not worth more than a paragraph.

I don't mind what the article is called. At the moment, pocket battleship is a superset of Deutschland class cruiser; the latter is simply redundant. --Yooden

I wouldn't mind calling the one remaining article Deutschland class cruiser. In fact, given that all of you do your best to misunderstand me, I should've simply moved the content and redirect. (That's what you get for pleasing the rule fanboys.) --Yooden

The reason I submit my proposals to CfD or AfD is not to 'please the rule fanboys', but instead because I am not the only one with ideas on how to do things, and my ideas aren't always the best. This is especially true when dealing with subjects that aren't central to my own knowledge, but even on those I consider to be my forte it is helpful to get other's views. Intentionally making edits to circumvent the CfD/AfD process, especially when a vote like this has expressed that there is no concensus for what you are doing, is grounds I believe for administrative action. Josh 20:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

So watch me not doing it until this is over. After that, however, I will start a new discussion on the two pages. And I really don't think that removing redundant information is grounds for administrative action. (To give you a head start: Please provide a list of information that is in Deutschland class cruiser but not in pocket battleship.) --Yooden

To qualify that: I know that rule are required, I only think rules work against Wikipedia in this case. The article is completely and completely obviously useless (so far no reason was given why it should exist), and I think work directly on the articles would have shown that in a much simpler way than this AfD. --Yooden

Keep and expand — Pocket battleship is a superset of this class. — RJH 15:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article is a subset of the ship class? Please elaborate. --Yooden

RJH did say 'superset' not 'subset'. 'Pocket battleship' is a moniker applied by the British to the Deutschland as a counter to the German moniker of Panzerschiffe. The name could well apply to not only the Deutschland class, but also could apply to other similar German designs such as 'Cruiser P' and other designs that were not produced. None-the-less 'pocket battleship' is not strictly limited to the Deutschland even though in practice, it was the only class to actually be built that was called such. Josh 20:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, whatever, I was confused about whether he refered to the articles or the classes. Anyway, the nickname was only applied to the Deutschland and her siblings. --Yooden

Keep - pocket battleship should refer to the Deutschalnd class for the ship details, explain how the term came about - eg newspaper reports - and then comment on any modern day usage of the term. GraemeLeggett 10:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it should, but it doesn't. So what's your point? --Yooden

That we shouldn't just redirect pocket batleship to "Deutschland class". GraemeLeggett 11:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so once again more slowly. Whatever Pocket battleship could be in our collective wet dream, at the moment it is a superset of Deutschland class cruiser. Even if it were different, the circumstances leading to the nickname 'pocket battleship' are hardly worth a paragraph. --Yooden

Keep - integrate relevant data from Pocket battleship an redirect "Pocket battleship" ->"Deutschland class cruiser" --Moroboshi 19:27, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lowrider (band)

Non-notable band, found it very difficult to verify notability with the given links and information. Obviously "lowrider" gets a lot of google hits for various reasons but 15 unique / 37 total for "lowrider sweden". Probably a band for specialist web lists rather than an encyclopedia, Delete ++Deiz 21:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Lowrider has released one significant album, that has made some impact, with allmusic.com stating that it was "alternately praised and condemned profusely by critics" [34] and "Lowrider was hailed by many as the new Kyuss" which is definitely a good reason imho to leave this article as a part of the entire Stoner metal complex, which itself is obviously significant enough for WP. See the 'press section' of the bands label to confirm that hey have had signifcant press coverage [35]. If you have wishes or comments on how the article should be improved, I will gladly contribute what I am able to. --Johnnyw 00:02, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Addition. Their split EP was a collaborative effort with Nebula, a band that was founded by 2 ex-members of Fu Manchu. --Johnnyw 00:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

No complaints here if they really are notable (WP:MUSIC), it's out of love for the genre that I'm cleaning up the category. Obviously Nebula and Fu Manchu are sweet but each band has to be judged on their own merits... Debate remains open, get stuck in J... ++Deiz 00:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep as per Johnnyw. Allmusic bio and 148,000 Google hits for Lowrider Sweden makes them notable enough for mine see [36]. Capitalistroadster 01:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I'm more than satisfied that this will now become a much better article (and the first to admit that I screwed up the google criteria a little, although "148,000" should be qualified with the news that a very large proportion of those hits are nothing to do with this subject), happy to retract the nomination ++Deiz 02:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Assyrian Revolutionist Society

Not notable. A secret society with unknown number of members. Zero google hits. Tagged Unreferencedsect and notability a week ago and asked author for references, no answer. Weregerbil 22:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete, unverified, looks like original research with speculation. Closest I see in Google is "Assyrian Democratic Movement", which seeks an autonomous state for Assyrians in Iraq and holds seats in the Kurdish parliament. No matches for this full ARS name. No matches in Google Books, either. (I'm reminded of Foucault's Pendulum ... will a new Assyrian Revolutionist Society pop up based on a hoax Wikipedia entry?) Barno 23:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elizabeth Ricker

Found this on Answers.com's copy of the article about Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation. Can't seem to find her on IMDb and Google, and she has never been credited in the movies.

Besides, this article lacks valid sources—hence the {{verify}} tag at the top. If you know anything about this child actress, let me know and help me out. --Slgrandson 22:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regnard Kreisler Raquedan

Non-notable web developer. Only assertion to notability is that he is "recognized as one of the advocates of Web Usability and Standards in the Philippines," hardly persuasive since that's not exactly a notable position to advocate and there's no evidence of who recognizes him as such an advocate. Google returns some links, but they are mostly self-referential (not surprisingly, a web developer has a bunch of web pages advertising himself) and they don't provide evidence that he meets any standard of notability. —Cleared as filed. 23:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
