[edit] Prelude In G Major

Delete this page: there is nothing special about a Prelude in G Major (as opposed to other keys), and it isn't referring to a particular work. It doesn't add anything that the Prelude_(music) page doesn't already contain.

Keep if able to be made into a real dis-ambiguation page with links pointing to them. Otherwise, re-direct to G major, adding to that article a list of preludes written in that key. Georgia guy 01:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect to G major. *drew 02:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Not currently disambiguating anything; completely idiosyncratic non-topic as written. Don't redirect to G major; that article is not about preludes in G major. What belongs here, if anything, is a musicological analysis of the Bach piece. Ikkyu2 07:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep and turn in to a simple list of preludes in G Major by composer, by analogy with say Symphony_No._7. I doubt many of the preludes themselves are really notable enough for an analysis. A redirect to G major would be more misleading than useful, better to redirect to Prelude_(music). The real question to ask if someone searched for 'Prelude In G Major' (or any other key) what information could we usefully give them. -- Solipsist 09:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Since the name "prelude in G major" is entirely generic, I don't see anyone searching for it. And if they did, surely they'd be looking in iTunes not here? If you don't know the composer, how are you going to know when you've found the right one without hearing it? - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C]

22:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: A listener who has heard the piece and remembers its name but not its composer might indeed turn to wikipedia and search for Prelude in C-sharp minor in a bid to track down the Rachmaninoff encore. --Defrosted 01:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes that's more or less the point. Its generic, but then so are the Symphony_No._x articles. Unfinished symphony is similarly generic, but nevertheless an interesting article as most people think that there is only one unfinished symphony and imagine it was Schubert's, half finished, last symphony. Nevertheless these generic articles are more or less useful guides. The Prelude In G Major article isn't particularly good at the moment, but there is no reason why it couldn't point towards the most popular G-Major Preludes that are played on their own. Bach must have written half a dozen, but only two or three seem popular. There is another G-Major by Rachmaninoff which may be as popular as his C-sharp minor prelude. And no doubt there are others.

If someone wanted to create similar Prelude in xx articles for each of the 24 keys, I don't have much of a problem with that. Nor if that were extended to other musical forms; fugue, concerto, etc - Wikipedia is not paper. If you ever listen to a classical station on the radio, you will find that they often discuss pieces using shorthand titles like 'The concerto in G', on the assumption that you would know they were meaning the Ravel they had played earlier.

On the other hand, we can take the point of view that non of these list-type articles are really much help in tracking down any individual work. In which case, perhaps they should be using Google or freedb to search for them, and it would be better to just delete this article. But then should you also delete the Symphony_No._x articles? -- Solipsist 09:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect to G major. --Ter e nc e Ong (恭喜发财) 10:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Nothing could be covered here that could not be covered just as well in Prelude (music). I don't see the need for a Redirect. Logophile 10:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete There is nothing notable about a generic prelude in G-major. It's not even well-known name like the (Bach) B-minor Mass. I can only see it valuable as a "List of preludes in G Major" if there were several. And I don't think the redirect to G-Major helps anyone. If I'm looking for some Prelude in G-Major but I can't remember who wrote it, I'm better off with search results. –Shoaler (talk) 14:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep and turn into an article on the Bach piece. A redirect to G major is pointless; a redirect to Prelude (music) would be better, if necessary. Powers 15:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Have you any idea how many pieces JS Bach wrote in his life? And if we do all Bach's, do we do Telemann's as well? I don't mind, but you are talking about a very large number of articles, even if the vast majority of the music is massively better (IMO) than the average song article on Wikipedia. I can see some utility in the List of compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, especially if it were expanded to include dates, some data on forces required and length, and I'd dearly love to see the same for the BuxWV catalogue, since I'm a huge fan of Buxtehude (as indeed was Bach), but one article on one prelude by one composer is a "single petal" when the field of flowers would be so much better, as the mergists have it. - Just zis Guy, you know?

Definite keep. A Google search on <Hill State People's Democratic Party India Lyngdoh> produced 622 results. It is possible that the term "resident" was a typo and was supposed to be "president". I've added references and external links to the article that shows that the subject of the article is the president of one of three registered political state parties in the Indian state of Meghalaya.

[edit] Charlie Wade

Delete, or Merge with Wahine Volleyball; not notable enough to warrant separate article.

Keep 1. He's not with the Wahine Volleyball program, he joined a different team. 2. He caused a HUGE uproar with the gay communittee, the NCAA and which got him mentioned in every other newspaper in the country. 3. Well known in volleyball across the nation. --Masssiveego 08:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete, add any relevant info to Wahine Volleyball. The notable comment Masssiveego mentions is only in relation to the Wahine logo, therefore it belongs in that article. Other than that one comment, and while I'm sure he's a great, well-known, coach, he's not notable enough to have his own entry in the encyclopedia. Powers 14:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

That is incorrect he caused changes with the entire Universities logo system, which including both the Wahine and UH Warriors logos, from the rainbow to the H logo. I disagree, he should have his own entry due to his story having national coverage. Charlie has been to, and affected more then 3 states.

Hawaii alone he is front of crowds of 10,000, has been front of a crowd of more then 10,000 in Nebraska. Has been seen by more then a million people across the state. Is in many major newspapers, as newsworthy. --Masssiveego 00:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Not quite. Charlie Wade wasn't the reason why the logo was changed. It was due partially to the negative connotation of the word "rainbow" held by people unfamiliar with the term's history in Hawaii, and partially due to trademark enforcement issues with the old logo. While his comments were somewhat controversial, he did not cause the entire UH system to change its logo. 青い(Aoi) 06:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boycott of Danish items

Where to start? First, as it is, it's a WP:NPOV violation, as it largely serves as one-stop-shopping for those wanting to know whose products to boycott as a result of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Second, it violates WP:V. Third, it's poorly written and already has a cleanup tag on it. Fourth, it's listcruft; there are only seven companies on the entire list. At the least, I believe it's a prime candidate for merging into Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. (This has already been proposed, but the talk page is moving so fast that the merge discussion has already been moved to an archive page and thus will probably never reach a consensus.) At best, it should probably be deleted entirely. Aaron 01:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: If consensus is reached, the redirect page Denmark boycott should be dealt with accordingly. --Aaron 01:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong Delete Boycott of Danish items and the redirect Denmark boycott. Wikipedia is not the place to push a POV agenda. Get a blog or spend the money for a webhost.--24.192.40.105 03:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Tricky one, IMO this is a possibly a candidate for Speedy Delete under A6 - Attack Page as it arguably encourages people to boycott certain named entirely innocent companies. Removal of the company names would turn it back into a reasonable article with some POV issues that would be regulated by the community. On balance this is a delete unless the company names are removed. ++Deiz 03:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment. It may be that this article is too specific and needs to be merged into Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons; however, I do not believe that contributors to this article were necessarily pushing an agenda, even if the existence or contents of the article are judged to violate WP:NPOV. Personally, I understand "listcruft" to be a reason for deletion only when the article is a list, while this article merely includes one, along with a timeline, pictures, and an introduction/overview. It also appears to me that most of this article is verifiable, if not yet verified. Deletion or merging may still be the best options, though. Participants in the boycott and the "Buy Danish" (makes me hungry) counter-boycott campaign will probably consult List of Danish companies, so this article is unnecessary and inferior from the point of view of somebody pushing an agenda regarding Denmark. In response to Deiz: I don't think it is an attack page, it does not appear to encourage the boycott, and removing relevant factual information from an article is not a good idea. --Joel7687 04:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it isn't purely an attack so not an A6 but not fair on the named companies either, as you say people can check out the full list of Danish companies. IMO the list should be replaced with that link sooner rather than later. ++Deiz 04:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge with the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy article since this is just a part of this story and that article has a section on the boycott already. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge per above. I am concerned about listing the companies affected, as that seems to support the boycott. If some Danish companies are not on the list, then it tends to favor them. Logophile 10:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge and delete. The event is certainly notable, and one can quite easily write a well-referenced article that will meet WP articlespace policy. However, the correct page is Jyllands-Posten muhamad cartoons. Sjakkalle's suggestion is the natural one; I'm asking for a merge & delete because I think this page is not a good redirect. I disagree with Logophile and Joel that listing the companies lends "support" to the boycott: the encyclopedia neither supports nor opposes. It reports, and is neutral.

Redirect to Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. A possible search term for the current event. MLA 12:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge, not delete. I am already on the record as supporting such; much but not all of the content is contained in the larger article. Verifiability is an issue of obtaining appropriate sources (which, I agree, this article lacks). The list of companies itself can probably go. However, I entirely disagree with the assertion that a list of Danish companies and the declaration of a fact of a boycott is POV. --Stlemur 13:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge into the article about the cartoon controversy if it's not already covered there. There is a huge difference between calling for a boycott and a boycott that is successful in attaining some goal. It is not likely that this will seriously impact these Danish companies in such a way that causes some change. If that happens, the boycott itself is more worth an article. Peyna 14:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. If someone reads this list and decides to boycott these companies, then we are supporting the boycott--albeit inadvertantly. And if someone boycotts these companies after reading about them here, but doesn't boycott other Danish companies, then we are inadvertantly favoring some and protecting others. Logophile 10:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I just realized something that may prove this page to be unchangably listcruftian and inaccurate in its current form: The seven companies listed in the article were apparently picked at random by one or more editors, based solely on whether or not the companies' products were mentioned as examples in the news articles listed as references on the article page. But the boycott is not against these seven companies; it's against all Danish products. It's as if someone started a boycott against all products made in Japan, and then a WP article was created listing Sony and Toyota as the sole targets of the boycott because those were the only two companies the article's creator could think of at the time. That's simply dead wrong information. I won't vote again since I nominated the article, but this point should be taken into consideration. --Aaron 15:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep preferable than Merging it into the cartoon's article which has a size of 60 kilobytes already. Much longer than suggested. --Vizcarra 16:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep given the size of the cartoon article. Perhaps should be renamed as Mohammad cartoons boycott to make the context clearer.

Capitalistroadster 20:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. The illustrations are probable copyvios and awaiting deletion, for what it's worth. The article now consists of a single paragraph somewhat duplicative of its sort-of-parent article, along with a timeline of events which seems to be of limited value. If it's going to be kept, it ought to be greatly expanded into something about the economic and social ramifications of the boycott itself. --Aaron 20:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

~~Comprehensive rewrite~~. Delete. A good subject for a WP article on this material would be "Haplogroup X (mtDNA)", along the lines of some of the other DNA lineage articles that can be found linked off the Haplogroup article. The mitochondrial DNA group X is quite interesting for the early population history of the United States. It has been suggested it may be linked to the Solutrean culture, excavated in SW France, which may have been associated with extensive maritime activity along the fringes of the Atlantic ice-age ice sheets, similar in technology to modern-day Inuit culture. In particular, it is suggested that the Solutreans may have brought the original stone-working technology underlying the ubiquitous later Clovis point to the Americas, which seems to have spread out from the east of the modern-day United States, in contrast to most of the paleoamerican population which is thought to have originated ultimately from Asia, and spread in from the west. I would therefore suggest that there is useful material which should be strip-mined from this article first, before deletion. -- Jheald 11:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC).

Curiously, haplogroup X isn't particularly associated with the Finns; it's more common around the Mediterranean, the Near East and the Caucasus. If as it seems this report dates back to the mid 1990s, then much more is now known, and I think there is now not much after all that remains to be usefully extracted from this old sensation piece. The article Haplogroup X (mtDNA) is now up and in place, if there is anything anyone else thinks should be saved and added. -- Jheald 22:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC).

[edit] List of Half-Life 2 mods

Violates WP:NOT since it is a list. Moreover, it is, in my opinion, gamecruft. --M @th wiz 2020 02:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep, nothing in WP:NOT says "delete all lists", last time I looked. Probably best to split into separate articles for each mod. Kappa 02:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - while NOT doesn't say to delete them, it still says the shouldn't exist. And if they shouldn't exist, you either have to delete, merge, or redirect. --M@thwiz2020 02:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment WP:NOT does not say that lists should not exist, it says that certain types of lists should not exist. This is not one of those types. Dsmdgold 15:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. There are plenty of perfectly good lists on Wikipedia - see List of topic lists. Besides which Half-Life 2 is definitely a significant game, in large part because of its moddability (therefore not really gamecruft), and a couple of other games have similar lists (List of Battlefield 1942 mods, List of Battlefield Vietnam mods, List of Total Annihilation mods). If you want to be consistent, go ahead and list those too. Hairy Dude 02:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep Nothing in WP:NOT explicitly rejects lists, or even says that they shouldn't exist, it seems to me. The closest thing is the recommendation against internet directories, but I think this serves a legitimate purpose. WoodenTaco 02:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep Counter Strike was a mod that changed the entire gaming culture, mods like this have significant cultural change, thus I believe WP should keep this list to show the entire world the changing of society and such, just like WP has an article on Ak 47. Shahathens 02:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, if only to have a place to put the text from the mods that don't deserve their own articles. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 03:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Keep - This thing was linked from the front page of STEAM for chrissakes. This is a highly useful and notable resource. Cyde Weys 05:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Hairy Dude. Also see Category:Computer game mods. --Alan Au 05:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep A very useful and helpful resource. Good for disambiguation among mods and a good reflection of the changing game culture. Half-Life 2 has so great an impact on gaming culture that it would be ridiculous to delete this article.--Xzilenifo 06:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Half-Life 2 is very notable, not least because it can be modified. However, I doubt any of these is the next Counter-Strike, so very few, if any, should have their own article, so let's not go there. I do, however, think that unreleased mods should not be listed. Once they're out they can be added. —Wrathchild ^(talk) 13:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- I know this may be a topic for the talk page rather than here, but some of the mods are eminently notable. Black Mesa: Source, for instance, has been ranked the #1 unreleased mod of 2005 for any game on any system. Now I will agree with you that they don't deserve their own articles until they are released. --Cyde Weys 16:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Notable, verifiable, and quite useful. I was going to vote merge until I saw how extensive it is. -- Plutor 14:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Abstain My personal opinion is that this level of detail belongs on a fan site but not here. However, I know concensus when I see it so I'll keep my mouth shut :) --kingboyk 03:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep Since there is an article titled "List of Half-Life Mods," and that article has been kept. Would it not make since to keep the "List of Half-Life 2 mods?"---Queasy1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.8.122.166 (talk • contribs) 22:29, February 3, 2006

Keep This is a useful article of information and should be kept for user reference. -Dave —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.244.2.94 (talk • contribs) 08:57, February 6, 2006

Keep For the moment there aren't that many mods and I don't think it should be deleted. Perhaps the descriptions need to be removed when the number of mods begin to grow (and then the mods that deserve their own articles should get one). And I think that unreleased mods shouldn't be there (neither should they have own articles before release). -- ReCover 19:32, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep This list is one of the most thorough and comprehensive of all HL2 mods, and its brevity makes it more useful when compared to the lists and catalogues offered by fansites. Were it not for this list, I would not know of half of them. ViceroyInterus 20:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spigot mortar

This is a more general subject than this article makes it out to be - there are other spigot mortars than the one invented by Lt.-Col. Blacker. There is also a better treatment of spigot mortars in general at Mortar (weapon), and the Blacker Bombard itself is described at PIAT. In all, a separate page seems redundant.

Note: nn and vanity, but it's unreasonable to expect every editor to familiarize themselves with the style guide before beginning an article. One of the nifty things about Wikipedia is how articles can start out a lowly (but promising) mess and be redeemed by community effort. I wouldn't be too hard on an editor for not knowing every intricacy of style here :) Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 04:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)'

Wikipedians should at least be familiar with the formal tone before making such major edits, otherwise their edits may not be accepted well. Plus, there's Articles for Creation. Royboycrashfan 04:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

{{inuse}} would be quite inappropriate. That means "please don't edit, I'm working on this page right now and I don't want an edit conflict".

Delete per my reasons at Talk:Table of nuclides.
Redirect to synonym chart of nuclides. Other editors cannot build upon unsourced data, adding references would amount to a complete rewrite from scratch. Also, the usefulness as a big list seems questionable since there is already a split request. Adding more of decay data would easily result in a growth beyond several Megabytes.

Curious, why would adding references amount to a complete rewrite from scratch? I could add T2 and JAERI to the bottom in a minute if I weren't otherwise occupied... Georgewilliamherbert 23:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

We can't just dab on some links there without knowing they were the source of the data. Going back to verify against a specific reference, one just as well could create the page anew regardless of the existing content. Femto 15:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment has the potential to be a good disambiguation page - refering to (a) the generic definition; (b) a popular television serial by the same name in the late 1980' on India's only national TV channel at that time (Doordarshan) and (c) the mailing list referred to in the article (provided its notability is established). However, I am not entirely sure if it makes sense to create a disambiguation page without having articles for any of the proposed entries. Would like to hear from other editors. Or another possibility is to convert the article to a text about the TV serial (only problem is that due to FUTON bias, probly very little would be available on the net about the seial (due to the fact that it is late 1980's) and hence may be deemed non-notabe). --Gurubrahma 15:40, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, it's nice to see so many comments on here from people who are obviously lawyers specializing in copyright and trademark law. Hey here's an idea, why don't you send the URL for DH to Disney and Squaresoft's legal departments and see what what they think? --Isotope23 18:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Just wanted to clarify myself, since I did not use copyright as a basis for my vote to delete (I modified my original comment a bit, since the opening wasn't particularly well-ewritten), and to provide some information. I am not a lawyer, but copyright with respect to machinima is a developing issue. I'm not sure what Disney and Squaresoft's stance on this is, but many game companies seem to be allowing, at least implicitly, non-profit machinima to thrive (see [6] - "Machinima.com has informal agreements with quite a few games companies on distribution"). I fully understand the need to protect Wikipedia from copyvios, but, given that machinima seems to have been accepted by Bungie/Microsoft and Electronic Arts (who have both commissioned machinima videos from Rooster Teeth Productions, the company that produces Red vs Blue), among possibly a few other companies, there is a certain legitimacy to machinima nowadays. On the other hand, to my knowledge, neither Disney nor Squaresoft has ever taken a stance one way or the other, and so I could see a strong argument for assuming that there would be a copyvio problem with Kingdom Hearts machinima, parodies-as-fair-use notwithstanding. However, with the lack of evidence that Disney/Squaresoft disapprove, and based on the claim that DH is a parody anyway, I formed a rationale based solely on notability. Not saying that copyvio isn't a possible reason to delete a machinima article, but the situation in general with respect to copyrights and machinima is usually not clear-cut. -- TKD 02:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio was not the reason for my delete vote either. I'm not aware of any machinima copyright use cases ever being brought to court as most game companies do seem to allow this to happen. I'm just saying that in the absence of any settled case law pertaining to this, it may or may not fall under under fair use as parody. I voted delete on lack of notabilty. Copyright was just a passing comment.--Isotope23 19:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

It's an incredibly funny work of comedy genuis with a large number of fans. Deleting it would be a pity.

Dramatic Hearts is a work of art and comedy, to remove this page would be a shame, I'm sure if any of you actually watched Dramatic Hearts you wouldn't delete it. Long Live DH! - Tom Seiniger

All of you bigots who believe Dramatic Hearts is dumb are the same people who hate the world and/or are easily offended. It uses the same sense of humor as other popular machinimas such as Red Vs. Blue... why not delete their article? You people make no sense... long live DH! - Deathspank

It's a work of comedy, and parody. An extremely well done one with a lot of effort put into it at that. If things like Red vs. Blue, 8-bit Theater, and PvP can all have Wiki pages, including that goofy Elemenstor saga or whatever it called, could justifably fall into the same catagory, and should be deleted as well.

Keep and cleanup. Has potential and is not infringing on any copyrights. Deathspank 11:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete, somewhat reluctantly. Copyright is often not an issue with the game companies nowadays, with respect to non-commercial machinima; most machinima productions are parodies anyway and may fall under fair use. However, the big difference between this and, say, Red vs Blue, is that the latter has been well-covered in the media (see the References section of the Red vs Blue article) and has won multiple awards within the machinima community. As another example, 8-Bit Theater (a webcomic, not machinima) gets about 145,000 Google hits. One user, Drat, created, at Talk:List of machinima series, an informal list of criteria for inclusion of machinima on Wikipedia; see also WP:WEB. The issue is not with machinima itself, but that the machinima has to be notable in some way. Personally, I would like to see an example of Kingdom Hearts machinima on Wikipedia, but there has to be some standard kept. This series has received very little mention outside of a few websites. So, unless someone can show verifiable information that this series is in fact notable in some way, I'm advocating deletion. Whether the series is actually funny or not (a subjective and POV matter, anyway) is irrelevant. -- TKD 23:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Well language wise I've already cleaned it up a bit, to my knowledge (aside from a few words which are in character names) there are no offensive words on the page, only semi-suggestive. I would like to know why I have to "clean" up the pages when nothing is overally offensive and when Wikipedia states that it is not censored. As for popularity, what determines what makes it popular? I would consider a few thosand hits a day to make something pretty popular, to my knowledge RVB had a Wikipage far before it became as well known as it is now, before all the awards and becoming a huge hit. It's proven to be atleast semi-popular, I mean if you think it deserves deletion, well, can't stop you. I wouldn't expect a 2-3 month old series to compete with other series that have been around a good 3-5 years. MyInnerFred

Comment. Language was never the real issue for me. In fact, when people mention "clean up", it usually refers to article structure, tone, style, etc. As for Red vs Blue, the Red vs Blue article was created on 23 July 2004, after the series had won three machinima awards and had been covered in BBC News Online, Village Voice, and The Wall Street Journal. But it's not about RvB versus other machinima series as much as it is about asserting a series' own notability. Drat had mentioned popularity as a possible guideline, and this is fine as long as the popularity is verifiable (i.e., mentioned and preferably quantified in a reputable news source or online site or such). It's not the only criterion, however, and I would vote to keep if there were more third-party mention of this series — at least a few hundred Google hits, at any rate. It looks like the series has been around for some time (enough for 22 episodes), but I would have expected a series of that length to have garnered enough attention for other people to have written about it. -- TKD 00:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah okay, well atleast we are going somewhere with this. I understand. I personally think it's pretty popular (and do note that while it has 22 episodes many were created before the actual series was produced, it's only been around for a little more then a month actually) considering the huge amount of hits on the main site. We've never really advertised but we've gotten some advertisement on other sites and hits from all over. I've never really advertised and the main reason I made this was I pretty much considered DH to have become popular enough to warrent a simple Wikipedia page. I wasn't really aware there was a need to be popular (of any kind) just figured it had to be atleast something out there, I figured 100,000 hits+ was a good start, heh-heh. The main problem with most people writting about the game is obviously that it's not out in America and many well known KH2 fan site staff members are very pro non-spoiler items. MyInnerFred

Reply. I appreciate the rationale. Popularity isn't a requirement of notability, but it generally would be sufficient if that popularity translated into other writers and sites reviewing the series, etc. I do think that the article content itself has some potential, but there simply isn't enough notability here, in my estimation. 100,000 hits (if those are total site hits in a month) isn't really that much in the grand scheme of things; sites can get a million hits and still be non-notable. -- TKD 08:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

When we're this cryptic, it can give the wrong impression to newcomers. "Vanity" actually refers to WP:VANITY, that's a good place to start.

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)

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] A Song of Ice and Fire Universe

The reason this article should be deleted has nothing to do with this being an article about fiction and has nothing to do with notability. It is composed almost entirely of original research by a single indivdual who has, as stated in the talk page, decided to take references to various things and events in the universe of the series and provide them with his own scientific explanations that are found nowhere in the books, the authors words elsewhere, or any published material. One user proposed that the article be merged, but as virutally every word is original research, that is not a feasible approach. It should be deleted. Indrian 08:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Westeros per Arbor. Brendan 04:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
OK, third attempt. And I also want to re-iterate the claim I've made on discussion page: Westeros is a continent on the larger planet in the yet larger fictional universe. This is not true of Middle-Earth, as the only account we have on it is some hobbit's diary and a book of myths published after the creator's death.oakad 07:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
And one more. Arda and Middle-Earth are two different articles (not in risk of merging) and quite full of speculations themselves. In fact, at present revision, I don't see any problem with my article (can we have the AfD tag removed?).138.217.34.39 12:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid the AfD tag can't be removed. The AfD process still has to be carried out. In any case, the article is still full of POV judgments and minor speculations. I'll see if I can clean it those up (as well as some grammatical problems). As for Arda and Middle-Earth, if those articles (which cover distinct topics) contain speculation, the solution is to remove it, not use it as precedent to keep other speculation. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with regard to Westeros and Middle-Earth, though. Could you be clearer? Thanks. Brendan 17:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I've finished reworking the article, and given its present state I still think a merge with Westeros is the best option. Brendan 17:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Middle-Earth was used as a model in the early stage of the discussion. It is a long accepted article, and an Arda article is long accepted too (Middle-Earth is a continent in Arda). ASoIaF is however, much better developed world with lot of additional info - it's probably 4 to 6 time bigger than LoTR together with Silmarillion. Westeros itself has enormous amount of historical and political data.

I've looked at your edits:

You deleted my account on astronomical seasons - GRRM explicitly clarified that planet has both astronomical years and climatic seasons (multi-year spanning).
You removed references to his past works - I think its important to leave them (given the habit of GRRM to reuse his ideas).
What's wrong with valyrian lords? Everybody, from free cities to Lannisport distinguishes Dragonlords and plain valyrian descendants. They are also a specific sub-species of humans, having considerable magical abilities and distinguishing look.
Every story insider who ever speaks of Ghis considers it to be older than Valyria. Valyria influence is large in Westeros - through trade, rulers or artifacts. Valyria craft is more advanced than any other we see in the book (these are facts you removed).
Info that is not yet in the article. GRRM provided specific references to climate, nature and recent geological past (Dorn was connected to eastern continent by the land bridge, there is no land at the far north, climate data is available for most of the free cities). I need time to merge this in.
Future info. FoC has a lot of info that was not available in the first three books. However, the next book is expected to have even more and there is also a chance that GRRM will go on and explain his line of reasoning in writing of the book (like he did with Windhaven). This does not precludes us to cover already available data.

Alternatives:

Why not merge with Westeros: Westeros is already heading to be a huge article (even without the rest of the world).
Why not merge with some book description: its beneficial to have page that describes settings, but has no spoilers.
Why not change the title: Precedent: Arda is considered to be both universe (artice uses term "solar system") and planet (long accepted claim on Arda page). Encapsulation: We have (or will have) some info on cosmology, more info on the planet and even more info on couple of specific places. Consider definition 1b of M-W for "universe": "the world of human experience" (in our case - story humans).

oakad 01:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I'm neutral-to-merge on this (see above)--I think the topic is OK, but the title is terrible, and it should try a little harder to fit with existing ASOIAF material--but I have to say, Oakad, you are getting a little excited here. Most of that stuff above belongs on the talk page. Here we're just talking about whether this encyclopedia should have an article on this subject (and if so, secondary questions like where). But it seems like you really, really want to defend your approach to this material, and given that this is a wiki, that can't be guaranteed. You don't own this article, remember; if someone comes along and edits it—for instance, to take out the original research component, per Wikipedia policy—is that going to be OK? —rodii 01:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of archaeological sites sorted by country

Delete. List is completely redundant with Category:Archaeological sites by country. All entries on the list are in that category under their respective country or a subcategory (Like Category:Roman sites in Italy. The list is un-dynamic, unweildy, large, incomplete and impossible to keep updated. No annotations or other supplemental information are included in the list, very few red links are listed. Many items on the list are not archaeological sites at all, but instead are archaeological cultures, cites with no record of archaeology, entire regions of a country or significant archaeological artifacts. The category is more useful and requires much less maintenace to keep current. Currently both the category and the list are listed in Category:Archaeological sites making navigation to the category as easy as navigation to the list, and the list does not have a record of frequent edits. Pschemp | ^Talk 11:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep as lists and categories serve different functions. Also I'm interested in ancient China and there are three or so red links on this list I can work on. (That said I think Bampo is likely red because it's meant to be Banpo)--T. Anthony 11:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I think the page should be kept since it does offer a page where you can at least find a few archaeological sites in a country - at the moment I am carrying out research relating to france and have found it v useful.

The only reason to contemplate keeping this list would be for the red links. But those could be readily merged into the individual national category pages under Category:Archaeological sites by country. So my preference would be to delete after preserving the red links. Thanks. :) — RJH 16:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. All the red links have been listed at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Social Sciences and Philosophy in the archaeology section. Now there is no need to keep it for future articles. Some of them I stubbed before I realized they should go to the requests page, but they are all there. Pschemp | ^Talk 19:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

It is hard to beleive the list is more convenient when it doesn't even include half of the countries in the category. I don't think its correct to sacrifice accuracy of information for ease in an enclyclopedia. Would you like to volunteer to keep this list up to date then? Because in its current, error filled state, its neither useful or convienient. Pschemp | ^Talk 05:19, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Little or no context. James084 14:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep. It's the debut album by bossa nova legend João Gilberto; it's also widely considered as the first bossa nova album, and if that isn't enough, it's also a Grammy Hall of Fame album. I'll go ahead and clean it up.--み使い Mitsukai 14:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dave Alber, M.A.

Author of two self-published books, includes advertising linkspam. Both books are on Amazon and together have 5 customer reviews, all of which were added within two weeks or so before these page on Wikipedia, all give 5 stars, and most of them include the same advertising links - this reeks of vanity spoofs. The same Wikipedia user has also created Mythopoesis, which is an OR essay advertising the very same two books.

I am also nominating Mythopoesis, for the above reasons. Delete both. Lukas ^(T.|@) 14:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I wouldn't mind keeping Mythopoesis as a redirect to Mythopoeic literature, now that you mention it. Perhaps we should separate the discussions for the two entries, after all.

Delete. Although Runescape Community seems to be a major site, it would be a bit of a stretch to include anything more than the current contents of the stub. It also failed to be included in the "External links" section of RuneScape - and none of the sites listed in the external links section of RuneScape have their own articles.

POV fork, undefined term —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leifern (talk • contribs)

Delete - this article is based on a premise not in evidence, namely that there is a unified movement called "anti-vaccinationists." There isn't even a single mention of the term in a Google search. The editor is trying to cram every single objection to vaccinations into this article, thereby burying these objections under a blanket category that isn't even exist. --Leifern 03:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- The numerous pages created by Ombudsman suggest there is indeed a movement, but it has awarded itself more glorious names.

Delete - Vote & reasons by The Invisible Anon 09:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

This page is being used as part of a POV war by a group of medical contributors - a partial list found here [[12]]. It is their latest tactic. They are at present hoovering up numerous Wikipedia pages containing information they do not agree with, dumping it here to marginalise it. A recent example which is a safety issue and is not "anti-vaccine" but a concern to protect infants and children worldwide is the demand for the complete removal of the mercury neurotoxin thiomersal/thimerosal from childhood vaccines - see [[13]].

They have invented a broad definition of "anti-vaccinationist" to catch anything that remotely could be considered critical of the medical profession and harm caused by their use of vaccination - see [[14]] and the agenda.

Here are recent page deletion attempts (another new tactic to strangle Wiki pages almost before they have emerged from "stubdom") [[15]]

This critique exemplifies how they use RfC's and suchlike to attack users who contribute to pages they disagree with [[16]]

Here are examples of edit histories showing a small number of the kinds of pages where some of the people identified here [[[[17]]]] are active on these issues:-

This kind of activity is an anathema to Wikipedia and is extremely damaging to its concept as an encyclopedia and the objective of NPOV. It can also be seen from the above and the deletion of the information from the Thimerosal page that the following comment by one of this determined band of individuals is not true:-

Strictly, at least in my concept of the article, which is subject to change in the wiki, it isn't about the objections to vaccinations! It is about the people making them, how they are made, and less about the relationship of the objections to truth than the behaviour of the people and the torpes or memes when it is demonstrated sufficiently clerly for most people that an objection is not grounded in objective reality (usually that is it scopied a few more hundred times and not corrected anywhere) Midgley 04:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Following comment moved for continuity of response - posted regarding paragraph above commencing "Here are recent page deletion attempts "

The following comment will be about other pages and other requests for deletion, and will say the author knows what the comment to be made next will say, and that it won't be true. I have been editing WP for only half a year and am unaccustomed to reversed timelines. Midgley 15:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining that. It is most helpful and enlightening and will be borne in mind on future occasions, should similar circumstances prevail. The Invisible Anon 21:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

At the time of this writing my user page is included in the list of users that this anon claims are a group of medical contributors engaging in a POV war. This represents a big presumption of bad faith on the anon's part. I sort of think I should complain to someone about his assertion, but it is such an outlandish claim I cannot think anyone would take it seriously. What should I do? Steve Kd4ttc 18:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Why not enter into dialogue with me on my talk page and we can discuss what is troubling you look at the evidence and see how we can resolve it by mature dialogue? The Invisible Anon 21:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The anon is advised that references to groups or cabals of Wikipedia editors in a fashion that attributes a bad faith intent is not in keeping with traditions established on Wikipedia. Your behavior can result in sanctions against you. You should take steps to eliminate you accusations. Kd4ttc 16:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The appropriate forum to deal with this in on my talk page. I invite you again to please discuss the matter in the appropriate forum - on my user page. This is an RfD and does not therefore appear to be the appropriate forum. I also came across this comment from Kd4ttc by chance, having been waiting for a message to appear on the talk page.

Keep - People who are opposed to vaccination exist; trying to claim they don't is simply absurd. Michael Ralston 03:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Of course, but they are not a unified group, and many of those who are opposed to one vaccination policy are not against another. --Leifern 03:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

could you give an example of that? Nobody else has, in the large discussion. Midgley 03:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

See here [20] among many many others. --Leifern 17:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

People can be vegetarians for many reasons. Some oppose killing animals for food. Some believe that grazing cattle for food is an inefficient use of natural resources. Some feel that a meatless diet is healthier. Some have discovered that vegetables are less expensive. Still, we have an article on vegetarianism. This doesn't rule out the creation of subarticles to discuss the different aspects of vegetarianism—indeed, as the main article has grown, many articles describing various aspects of vegetarianism have been spun off. A similar process has taken place at conservatism, with appropriate subarticles addressing the many disparate social and economic philosophies that can fall under the 'conservative' banner.

Perhaps move this stuff over to anti-vaccination movement and parcel it up from there, but I think it's quite appropriate to have an article on this topic. That there are different philosophies and degrees of opposition to vaccination should not preclude Wikipedia from discussing the forest as well as the trees. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 04:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

An excellent example of the idea, es, but I actually wondered if anyone would produce a particular person or group who goes to the trouble of broadcasting that they are against vaccine A but for vaccines B C D E F G H I and J. I'm sure there are plenty of people who hold those views on their own, but is what was asserted demonstrated, that that viewpoint is pressed upon others. Midgley 21:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

To discuss all skepticism to vaccines under one category is misleading - there is an Anti-Vaccination League, but it is not clear or documented how many of those who perhaps oppose thimerosal, or combining multiple vaccines, or innoculating against every childhood disease would sign up with the Anti-Vaccination League. --Leifern 04:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Can you clarify or document part of that, please? Midgley 17:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

comment I get 591 google hits[21] inlcudeing this one[22]. Yahoo gives out 578 hits[23].Geni 03:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

comment. I'm not sure if this is the best title for the information, but there's a lot of thorougly referenced stuff that we really shouldn't lose. Parts of this were also transferred from other articles in a noble effort to reduce duplication and edit warring. I could see this particular term being redirected to vaccine controversy at some point in the future, with the content preserved there and in new articles under (perhaps) anti-vaccination movement and thimerosal controversy. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 03:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

That's fine, but it is a fallacy to assume that all skepticism to thimerosal or a particular vaccination schedule, etc., is caused by individuals who are categorically against vaccinations, as the editor and title seems to suggest. Vaccine controversy is framed as a neutral description of the controversy with plenty of space for both sides of the issue. This article commits several rhetorical fallacies. --Leifern 03:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

A reason to edit it - not to delete it. Michael Ralston 03:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that the criteria for describing a group of people, and labeling it as such, is that one can carefully define who they are, ideally that they self-identify using a label that is similar to the title used in the article, and distinguishing them from others is meaningful. I am not opposed to presenting the content that is jammed into this article, but it needs to be presented where it makes sense. --Leifern 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- TenOfAllTrades, is that a keep, redirect or merge vote? JFW | T@lk 11:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Yes. Yes it is. :D It strikes me as reasonably obvious that at this point the page in question isn't going to reach a consensus for deletion, so I'm trying to move on to some sort of sensible discussion of what should happen after this nomination closes. AfD is supposed to be about more than votes; there's good information in the article; as the article stands it needs some serious refactoring and possibly renaming; the closing admin for this AfD isn't going to be able to fix everything magically at the end of the discussion period, so we're going to have to talk about this; you can take those points in any order you like. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Plenty of evidence, including on Wikipedia, that opponents of vaccination have organised themselves and have a collective viewpoint that can be dealt with in an encyclopedic fashion. A paper in the BMJ and numerous extant organisations most eloquently argue against Leifern's assertions. The main representatives of this movement here on Wikipedia (Ombudsman, Leifern, Whaleto, 86.10.231.219) will have various claims but none stand up to serious scrutiny. JFW | T@lk 11:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The allegation that I represent an anti-vaccinationist movement is false and unfounded. Please retract. --Leifern 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I retract that you represent the movement, I do not retract that you have consistently come to the defense of said representatives. JFW | T@lk 03:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Also false and unfounded. I have simply tried to make sure that their side is represented accurately. --Leifern 13:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
delete: This article's development has been afforded a great deal of latitude, with relatively gentle suggestions to tone down the rhetoric rather than wholesale content deletions, but little has been done to deliver even a modicum of npov. With all due respect to those who have made good faith efforts to establish a viable article, the pov seems to have worsened, the discussion veers away from the anachronistic 'anti-vaccinationists' toward attacks on modern vaccine critics, and even the dispute tag keeps getting removed. Although there is a place for both 'anti-vax' and 'vax critics' articles, this particular article can be described by a singe word: unsalvageable. Ombudsman 12:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep: But first: why isn't this AfD listed under Feb 2 Leifern? I can't find it on that page. Second, why have the keeps and comments of DavidRuben and Midgley disappeared? Third, "The Invisible Anon" (86.10.231.219) is pretending to be a registered user (why, for the love of God, why??!!?), and is a sock puppet for all intensive purposes. This article is in desperate need of a very thorough NPOVing (and cleanup); I haven't done anything since it would turn into a three way edit war between NPOV, the anti-vax POV and the anti-anti-vax POV. Since all the articles John (Whaleto) has been creating about anti-vaxers have been essentially one-liners (created for the purpose of smearing the practice of vaccination) and no other bio info can be found, this article needs to incorporate all those bios. Does nobody read about the proper way to create articles and behave anymore?? --CDN99 13:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what happened - I followed the directions scrupulously. My suggestion for the Invisible Anon is that we don't count his/her vote, but we should certainly take seriously his/her arguments. --Leifern 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

"'The Invisible Anon' .... is a sock puppet", "is pretending to be a registered user",

This is 1) presuming bad faith when none 2) alleging fraudulent behaviour when none and 3) no 'strong evidence of bad faith presented (there is none and plenty of good faith - see edit hist) - and which is required otherwise the vote counts. The Invisible Anon 13:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Such "bad faith" opinions include those being made by sock puppets, being made anonymously, or being made using a new userid. Source. 1) your opinion is being voiced anonymously, 2) your opinion is being voiced anonymously and 3) your opinion is being voiced anonymously. You are an IP, there is no way to tell if that "good faith" was presented by you or someone else. --CDN99 13:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Anon Votes Count. Haven't you noticed, practically everyone on Wikipedia is anonymous? Have you put your real identity on Wikipedia? If not then are you saying your vote does not count too?

There has to be strong evidence of bad faith, not lots of good faith like I have here.

The Invisible Anon 14:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Strictly, "everyone on WP is pseudonymous" is more nearly correct than "everyone... is anonymous". Usernames secured by passwords and logged provide fairly strong evidence of continued identity, whereas an IP address does not. Ross Anderson (Cambridge U) and others have written a lot about that and discussion on the UK-Crypto list has turned to it from time to time. It is relevant to medical records and communications, that's why I'm able to make this small digression. Midgley 21:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I might wonder if The Invisible Anon(86.10.231.219)'s previous deletion of the votes of two opponents counts as evidence of bad faith? (see here).David Ruben ^Talk 15:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Just an attempt my Madge to delete by merger all my vaccine critic pages into one dog's dinner he created to push his POV. He has kept out one of my main assertions, for example. A vaccinator creating an anti-vaccine page, says it all. And a big cheek considering this was my page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_critics Click on that. john 14:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Excuse my link. Midgley 17:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Please review Wikipedia's policy on article ownership—while contributions are welcome from everyone, nobody owns the pages that they work on. As it says under the edit window, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." Please work this out through discussion rather than namecalling. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Important Point - Summary john's concern is valid in general regarding page hijacking:-

This is an untrue assertion, unbacked by any indication (eg from the page history) that a page existed which I hijacked. It is probably a lie, but could in other people be a misapprehension due to not understanding how to read the history of a page (which Ombudsman has effectively pointed out, I am not perfect at, yet). I started the page. John has made significant additions to it which are definitely of value in teh article that is evolving. Without re-reading the history, my recollection is that Ombudsman's (a bad name offering a false impression of offical status I deprecate) contributions have been restricted to adding tags and barracking on the talk page. I assert bad faith.

a strident pro-vaccine editor Midgley, who with support from an identifiable alliance of editors, has been scurrying around Wikipedia deleting anything in sight to do with what he calls anti-vaccine information and takes over a page originally intended to set out the view of vaccine critics;

This is simply a lie. I created the page de novo. Other pages have existed, one probably was created to set out hte view of a group who the author asserted were not "anti-vaccinationist" but "critics" and was deleted after WP procedure. (After several references to vaccine_critics and Ombudsman's changing the name of the existing page to vaccine_critics, I attempted to resolve this in a helpful fashion to anyone who wanted to read about vaccine critics by making a redirect to the page in question. Redirects are cheap. Anyone who wants to write vaccine_critics as vaccine critics and demonstrate a distinction is perfectly at liberty to actually do so, just undo the redirect.)Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

vaccine critics are predominantly not anti-vaccinationists;

THis is discussed on the talk page, and is an asertion that could be tested by demonstration of the separate populations, which might well make a good addition to this or an article. Ombudsman asserts that he knows about this... but doesn't actually write about it or provide references. I think that it is untrue, but that it is possible to believe that he believes it himself Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

he then turns the page into a page about anti-vaccinationists - a movement which appears from what he has put on this page, to have died out in the 1800's;

Untrue see above. Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

there is no page suitable for setting out the views of the modern day vaccine critics;

write, then Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

he then hijacks material which is not anti-vaccine but about ensuring what is in the vaccines are safe (removal of thimerosal/mercury vaccine additive), and dumps it here together with lots of other information which does not seem to naturally belong here;

That is another page. It is now two other pages. Both of them are IMHO quite good pages, Thimerosal was poor before and is now an unremarkable page giving a good account of a chemical, Thimerosal controversy is pretty good also, and gives an account of the controversy. Leifern, whom I regard as unduly hasty, rude and insufficiently careful in rawing conclusions, as well as clearly having a deep personal feeling about THimerosal, did a good bit of page creation, which I believe he would not have done without my beingbold. Credit me with an assist on that goal, and the paragraph and links the edits distilled into on the article in question is I think quite good. Credit for that to one of the commentators on the Talk:Thimerosal page.

I can only laugh at your characterization of my personality. You deleted an entire section of a relatively stable though highly controversial article, stuffed it into another article with a misleading title. That is far far far from the outcome. As for my feelings and motivations, I can only note that they keep being mischaracterized constantly. What I have made abundantly clear to you is that I believe the public has a right to make an informed judgment on thimerosal by understanding the full controversy. Any responsible physician would agree with me both out of moral conviction and legal necessity. It amazes me that you are indicting my motivation on that basis. --Leifern 13:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I am a responsible physician. Your version of an article would be along the lines of "Thimerosal is bad and does harm in teh following ways. BTW, here is somethign abu its chemistry." We now have an article about its chemistry, which is quite good, we also have an article about the arguments over how bad it is and whether it does harm, which is an argument which has been assimilated by a population of people who wish to abolish all vaccination for a disparate overlapping collection of reasons, as well as - I think, and Leifern asserts - being used by people who are in favour of some vaccinations, or even all vaccinations, except if they contain deliberate or perhaps molecule-couting traces of Thiomersal. THe world is complex and fluffy - Lefern displays a tendency to being concrete. And should not assume that any Physician who disagrees with his ordering of data is not a responsible one. Not publicly. Not in WP. Midgley 17:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I would thank you, Migdley, not to put words in my mouth. And the controversy about Thimerosal is not about "molecule-counting." If the world is complex and fluffy (notwithstanding your baseless allegation of my "tendencies" - one of several ad hominems against me by you and others, I might add), then we owe it to our readers to present accurately the state of various controversies. Lumping all reservations against all aspects of vaccines under an article about anti-vaccinationists does not accomplish that. --Leifern 17:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Every part of this process is entirely innocent of any improvement by Ombudsman or the possibly distinct 86.10.231.219, as actually is any argument about the relationship between vaccine protests and protestors and complaints about Thimerosal. Restored froamtting. Edit carefully please. Midgley 17:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Conclusion: this page is a fraud and cannot possibly remain on Wikipedia. The anachronism of the alleged "anti-vaccinationist" movements of the 1800s have nothing to do with the concerns and criticism about the harms associated with the explosion in use of vaccines in the past 20 years for infants and under 5's. It is a gross mish-mash and babel.

THere is a challenge and response - one can't say a dialogue - on the talk page headed "historicity". THere is a point in there. THe assertion above is not supportd by fact, and derives from the BMJ paper and other material. It would be possible, and perhaps interesting, to argue that there is a clear discontinuity - that argument has not occurred some people, having learned nothing from history, wish to condemn us to repeat it(mashing some quotations there.). Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

As CDN99 said above "I haven't done anything since it would turn into a three way edit war between NPOV, the anti-vax POV and the anti-anti-vax POV." It is difficult to see that was anything other than the intention of Midgley and it is inappropriate for Wikipedia pages to be created and used in that way. It must go. No one should be expected to try to get this page into NPOV shape in such aggressively antagonistic circumstances, seemingly created intentionally.

The Invisible Anon 15:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Alternative conclusion: this response is a tissue of deliberate lies. Midgley 13:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes but this assumes that vaccine detractors only have concern for a single specific issue, rather than jumping on every possible theory (whether conventional conjecture/hypothesis or new-age alternativism) to dismiss vaccinations, micro-organisms as cause of disease etc. It also assumes that vaccines cause 'harm', something that the overwhelming majority of doctors, researchers, statisticians, epidemiologists, health policy advisors and governments across the world find no evidence for.

- The meaning of 'harm' is here used to imply a generalised nature inherent in the procedure, rather than any specific individual's mild reaction, or very rare more serious reaction - one can reject a blanket view that 'antibiotics are harmful' (I've seen a couple of children nearly die from cellulitis due to parental disbelief of conventional medicine/antibiotics vs homeopathy) as separate from 'some people experience discrete allergic reaction to individual drugs'

- The proposition initial use of the phrase 'a group of medical contributors' might imply some equivalence in the numbers of people on each side of a debate. However anti-vaccinators are numerically a tiny minority view-point. Were it not for how vocal & strident they were, nor the media's fixation with sensationalist reporting, then their views would not be notable to the vast majority and would be denied credence under WP's policy of not accepting trivial minority view-points. However this is clearly not the case and the media-sociological 'controversy' is notable and therefore should be noted within WP.

The vocal detractors do form an anti-vaccine (and anti-medicine) sentiment, even if one accepts that some only have single concerns rather than accepting entirely the general conspiracy belief. However the various web sites duplicate unverifiable, poorly cited non-evidence based references and manage to confuse journalists, and thus the public, neither of whom have a responsibility for critical-reading of pseudoscience's obscurification. Yes people are entitled to good quality information (after all it is reasonable to ask if everyone else is vaccinated what is the utility in the remaining individuals having a vaccine ?) but this is what pier-reviewed journals, governments & medicine generally seeks to do. With UK official estimates of over a hundred children dying as a consequence of poor uptake of Pertusis vaccine with no eventual proof found for the assertion it causes neurological damage, anti-vaccination movement is clearly real and posses a threat to societies wellbeing, however well intentioned individual anti-vaccinationists are. David Ruben ^Talk 16:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

How dare you The Invisible Anon(86.10.231.219) delete two opponent's votes, see here. Thanks CDN99 for spotting this. I re-post both votes below:

Thank you for pointing this out, but it is a nonsense and instead of levelling accusations you should have sought explanation.

Contrary to your allegation, shooting first and then asking questions, you presume I have intentionally deleted text. If you take another look at the text you will see that there is a stub of text which would not be left by someone intentionally deleting votes:-

"- :::A reason to edit it - not to ..." from a posting by Michael Ralston 03:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC).

You will also see that I had been editing the page at the time.

I regularly copy and paste the text from the window as I edit to save it and can have several windows open at once. It is quite clear to me that a chunk of text has been deleted from a window with nothing intentional about it. Take a look elsewhere through all my edits and see if I have done anything like it. You will not find it because I have not. If I had deleted text intentionally, I would not have been banging on about my good faith.

Also, no one would deliberately delete for example Midgley's vote, the chief protagonist in the matter. That would be so obviously noticed and there were very few votes in any event and people will have pages on their watch lists.

You might like to look at this text of mine [[26]] deleted in its entirety by Midgley. Are you going to accuse Midgley of deleting it deliberately so that my vote would not be counted? No you will not. So kindly afford me the same courtesy and do not be so quick to accuse. It is done with monotonous regularity in these pages and it is so unnecessary.

The Invisible Anon 16:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I accept your explanation & apology (I think) regarding the deletion, however:

-I can't engage in dialogue if you are an anon user without their own user page/talk-page.

-WP normally posts a warning if I inadvertently engage in an edit conflict, does being anon alter how WP works for you?

-You had edited 4 times after CDN99 had pointed out the deletions without identifying your role in this and correcting.

I'm sure we can both accept we are never likely to agree on the topic of vaccination, but both 'sides' exist and can't in truth dismiss the existence of the other. Other topics are strongly argued over (eg Electroconvulsive therapy, but there is no denying that the detractors highlighted a very badly referenced article, and the debate improves the discussion of both sides, even if no final consensus yet reached). Is not POV/NPOV debate something for a talk page to reach a consensus (or at least agreement on where to disagree, e.g. abortion or contraception pages), rather than outright deletion? I think some of 'detractors' comments in the talk page have been very constructive, even if they clearly dislike having in principle an article that focuses on a (loose) movement. David Ruben ^Talk 16:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

David, thank you for the professional and helpful tone of this posting. I will respond to your talk page, hopefully without inadvertently deleting anything else on this page. The Invisible Anon 17:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep - it is an interesting topic with ramifications, which would not be better dealt with by spreading it out into each and every article that mentions vaccines. Midgley 03:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- :Comment: It is not based on a premise as given in the delete header. Leifern has not had sufficient time to read teh large collection of material already there, which probably accounts for that false meta-premise. It does assert that there is a commonlaity, a thread in history, and a collection of unifying themes whisch make this a social phenomenom of some note. It is interesting that some vry clearly identified members of the class are resisting attempts to describe the tendency they put signifciant effort into, and asserting that things are unknown or material does not exist, rather than adding or finding any. I'm impressed with Geni's demonstration fo good material in moments, if not with Leifern's apparent Google search - perhaps it was an inadvertent miskeying. Midgley 04:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep - this is a real movement (albeit perhaps loosely co-ordinated) as witnessed by any health worker who daily comes across the fear & rejection of generally safe & effective vaccinations by parents who are understandably reacting to the cynical nonsence targeted at them. To see the distress of a child then going through 3-months of whooping cough, or suffer perminant hearing loss that could have been prevented by MMR vaccination is an outrage, however some in alternative medicine would dispute that microorganisms cause diseases at all. Then again its only doctors/schools/health departments/researchers/government health-policy that try to be proactive and prevent this, but they are all in a financial conspiracy according to anti-vaccinationists whose concience need not be troubled by having to take responsibility.

Whilst I agree that vaccine controversy links with this, the overall subject is too large for one article. Vaccine controversy should discuss the overall subject matter and the major controversies (pertussis and now currently MMR & thimerosal), whilst this one explores the individuals, movements and specific arguments raised. As will be seen in this article, the point-by-point demolishing of the anti-vaccinationists' pseudoscience requires great detail, that has been carefully collected cited and verified in this article. Unfortunately I suspect that the complexity of the subject matter will probably preclude it from every being a FA.David Ruben ^Talk 04:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

We assert that all of your above points are 100% untrue. Over 100 children every year are killed by vaccines in the USA, which is just the tip of the iceberg. This is pseudo science by the bucketload [27] john 20:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I was quite surprised by finding out that there is an identifiable and articulated world view underlying what seemed to me to be total incoherent rubbish (note that this is complimentary and indicates an improvement in both understanding through researching and writing this and an increased iota of respect for the people with it). Given this underlying framework which I do not think is laid out anywhere in a form easy to understand even that it exists, it is to be presumed there is a common ancestral viewpoint back at perhaps the time of Pericles to pick a random historical figure who might believe in spontaneous generation of life from rotting meat etc.

In order to understand the present day, and interpret the actions and beliefs of some people of a group which is definable though not crisply enough to saitisfy those here who behave as members of it, it is necessary to consider the past, in order for others later to understand it is useful to lay out a trail for them, and that looks to me like one of the better articles to come out of the one being discussed.

I do claim that the Thimerosal controversy article is a good one, as is Thimerosal and that they are each and both better as a result of the fission and fusion of this and the previous version of the Thimerosal article. Midgley 16:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep, POV problems should be dealt with by editing the article, not removing it. --AlexWCovington (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep - ditto. As to the background, I think this situation needs admin attention. As JFW says, there is a group of editors (mainly Ombudsman, Whaleto, and 86.10.231.219) who concentrate strongly on adding anti-vaccination and other anti-mainstream medical material to Wikipedia. This is fine; it's a notable topic, historically and currently. What's not fine is the basis of those edits in frequent personal abuse, breach of NPOV, and openly stated bad faith assumptions about editors who disagree with them. For instance, check out the lists at User:Whaleto and User:86.10.231.219. Tearlach 16:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep Agree per JFW, Tearlach, et al. This situation should be dealt with harshly by admins. Deleting people's keep votes on AFD is unconscionable.

At the time of this writing in a section above my user page is included in the list of users that an anon (The invisible anon he calls himself) claims are a group of medical contributors engaging in a POV war. This represents a big presumption of bad faith on the anon's part. I sort of think I should complain to someone about his assertion, but it is such an outlandish claim I cannot think anyone would take it seriously. What should I do?

As I have suggested above where you posted the identical remark, "Why not enter into dialogue with me on my talk page and we can discuss what is troubling you look at the evidence and see how we can resolve it by mature dialogue?" The Invisible Anon 21:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep A 2002 article in the BMJ [28] discusses "anti-vaccinationists." Andrew73 19:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment - who among those who voted Keep agrees with the following statement: While all "anti-vaccinationists" are critical to vaccines, not all those who are critical to vaccines are anti-vaccinationists? This should really determine the future of this article. --Leifern 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- As a piece of logic, I would agree with you. The problem is that many (I logically can't claim all) who present as raising just a single critism have as their agenda outright banning of vaccinations, but realise that they are more likely to succeed by advancing in more reasonable-sounding small steps. Or to put it another way, for each point that one might argue against, another and then another point will be raised. Over the decades there has been concerted attacks against (?all) vaccination programmes with each 'supportive' study dismissed as being misinterpreted, biased or part of some corrupt government-medical-pharmaceutical conspiracy, and so the appearance is of a anti-vaccination agenda even if one accepts some individual detractors truely have just a single area of (reasonable) concern David Ruben ^Talk 04:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- The proposition above can be improved upon. Try: " While "anti-vaccinationists" are critical to (substantially) all vaccines, not all those who are critical of some vaccines are anti-vaccinationists? " but I'd suggest inverting it - "While some people individually have criticisms of some aspects of some vaccines, vaccination in some circumstances, or aspects of vaccination policy, there have also been since 1798 and still are at the present day some people who work, commonly in concert against all vaccination with all vaccines in all circumstances. A factor frequently found among the latter is that they present their opposition as to some aspect or subset, whereas by their behaviour its scope is as described. Other common factors include the types and quality of argument advanced." I think that one is quite good, actually. Midgley 17:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- - - Be very careful about what you imply here, lest it sound like a conspiracy theory. There is no question there has been an anti-vaccination movement that categorically rejects the benefits of vaccinations. But to imply that all skepticism toward some aspects of vaccination is part and parcel of that movement is a fallacy - it would be like saying that those who were against Thalidomide were against medicine. The article - which looks like it will survive - should limit itself to discussing the movement itself and contain links to articles about the specific controversies. Anything else would be redundant to Vaccine controversy. --Leifern 13:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
      - You mean say something like "some people individually have criticisms of some aspects of some vaccines, vaccination in some circumstances, or aspects of vaccination policy," as part of it? I'm sure we should all be careful what we imply. Midgley 17:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        Written in English, something along those lines - but let's be clear: the article must be about anti-vaccinationists, not about people you might think might be anti-vaccinationists, and not about at length about the various issues. --Leifern 17:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        I quoted a phrase which is already in the proposition you are criticising. It is in there because when I wrote it I worked out what it needed to say. It isn't a simple specification, but neither has the world. That was a poor criticism. Midgley 18:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  - The page should be called Vaccine critics like I suggested before you hijacked it, as anti-vaccinists (a better term, and used historically) are a subset of the larger group of vaccine critics, eg Edward Yazbak is not anti-vaccine. And unless you have a page to vaccine critics there is no place for them on an anti-vaccine page. Was that your design, to eliminate 90% of vaccine critics? Also few want to be labelled "anti-vaccine" as it a label similar to "kook", so I can't imagine anyone saying they are anti-vaccine, even if they were. We can see your POV leading to that ie marginalising the radicals--- "The first step in his strategy is to isolate and marginalize the radicals. They're the ones who see the inherent structural problems that need remedying if indeed a particular change is to occur. To isolate them, PR firms will try to create a perception in the public mind that people advocating fundamental solutions are terrorists, extremists, fearmongers, outsiders, communists, or whatever."--John Stauber. In summary your page is another kook page that suppresses the majority of vaccine critics. We can see your true motives exposed in your deletion-by-meger tactics [29], [30], [31], not forgetting your attempt to delete the number one medical anti-vaccinist Dr Mendelsohn [32]. A good move for a vaccinator. john 00:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

john, are you saying that being "anti-vaccine" is the same as being a "kook"? Andrew73 23:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Your articles, John, are being attacked not because of their topic, but because they are selective and biased, and show you're making no effort to create the kind of broad-based biographies suitable for an encyclopedia. You merely pick the bits from articles favorable to your beliefs floating around on the anti-vaccination circuit, and make no effort to find other details (even simple stuff like birth and death dates that you can often find via Google) that fill out the biography in areas not related to your idee fixe about vaccination. If you started doing this, you'd be amazed at how rapidly the heat on you would diminish. 213.130.142.10 01:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- - - John's comment makes little sense:- 1) The page did not exist before I started writing it - I did not and obviously could not have hijacked it. 2) If John believes there should be a page called vaccine critics it is ridiculously easy for him to remove the redirect and start writing it. If he writes about the larger group that criticise vaccination while regarding some vaccination as good, then we can see how the material sorts itself out and who remains in the smaller group who are against all vaccination and describe themselves variably as a tactic in argument. Come on John - there are two people here writing thousands of words many of which are about there being a group identifiable as vaccine critics - why not put a few on the page you say is needed? Midgley 23:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep and cleanup. Problems such as those cited by Leifern can be cleaned up. That is no reason to delete a useful article on a significant movement. Capitalistroadster 22:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment It should be renamed Opposition to vaccination, then kept. The main criticism seems to be it implies a unified movement when there isn't one. (That said I think there are movements against vaccination, like those Muslim clerics in Nigeria)--T. Anthony 03:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite convinced that the explanation of the Kano activity is actually anti-vaccinationism. It may be, but I suspect it is itself being used as a small ploy in a much wider dispute and conflict over power and influence - possibly along the lines of the West is bad: the vaccine comes from the West: therefore the vaccine is bad. To join that into a seamless whole with the current western anti-vax (if that is an uncontroversial label, of what is it a contraction?) would require exploration of the world-views - being done - and a demonstration that a substantial proportion not only retain an 18th century view of why milk goes sour and grapes become more interesting which is possible, half-asserted by John, but undemonstrated and gives me for one trouble swallowing since Pasteur's work is so easy to duplicate in the kitchen, but crucially have a burning and possibly "religious" desire to spread this to the rest of us. It is an interesting part of a topic, and if the roots of that have to go back to Pericles and his cohorts, then I hope scholars of that era will render assistance. Midgley 13:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, anthing except anti-vaccine, as I said above, it is just a ploy to elinminate 90% of the vaccine critics. Anti-vaccine is a kook term in general usage. If there was a page to vaccine critics or opposition to vaccination then anti-vaccine could be a sub page, but by itself it is being used to marginalise the radicals into a pen labelled kook, which is an old ploy. If that wasn't the game why did they change the name Vaccine critics into this page? That was an obvious name but they couldn't label us with the kook tag [33], and it eliminates 90% of vaccine criticism from Wikipedia. john 00:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

A point for negotiation, perhaps? If you find "anti-vaccine" etc pejorative, people might be more receptive to finding a mutually acceptable term if you stop using the term "allopath" that others find pejorative. It cuts both ways. 213.130.142.10 00:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- The viewpoint of the vast majority (medical, health policy) is of the terms anti(-)vaccination(ist)(s) (over 68,000 hits on Google.co.uk search for permutations) and my preference is for the term, in the same way one describes 'vegitarians' rather than 'opposition to meat eating', or 'pacifists' vs 'opposition to taking up arms'. The semantics are difficult here, for each choice has some POV behind it, and I am not sure are necessarily precisely the same things (eg concerns for excess red-meat eating as a risk for cancer is quite different from ethical/moral approach taken by vegitarians or vegans).David Ruben ^Talk 04:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- If we consider copyright of one's materials, then the very large degree of replication of essentially identical text across large numbers of websites with no indication of objections suggests the owners of those sites are unified in some respects. (By contrast, national authorities generally restrict copying of their information and prohibit refactoring it - this reduces their visibility vis a vis the highly interlinked subset of the Web whcih we are discussing.)

Keep. Article is detailed, coherent, well-written, and a few minutes on the internet or medline will demonstrate to anyone that this is topic worth an article. The nomination for deletion is an extraordinarily bad faith motion. alteripse 14:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I take that as a personal attack - there is no basis for such an allegation. --Leifern 17:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

No, Leifern it was an attack on your action, not your person. This is another example of you not understanding (or misusing) the basic definition of important terms around here. This article did not meet any of the AFD criteria even remotely. It was a detailed, coherent article about an encyclopedic topic that other people have written articles about in the medical literature. It was not original research. It is hard to come to any other conclusion than that you nominated it for deletion because you disagree with some of its interpretations of fact-- precisely a bad faith nomination. alteripse 00:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

It is such a coherent account and so well researched that:-

Midgley cannot provide a references for the source of his definition of "anti-vaccinationist" and

Here's a reference for the term "anti-vaccinationist." It's described in the August 24, 2002 issue of the BMJ [34]. Andrew73 02:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

This is not a term in current coinage. This article contains no definition of the term. It is not exactly an independent or impartial source - written by a vaccinator in the in-house journal of the British Medical Association. This source has already been cited several times suggesting there is a lack of sources to justify the use being given to the term on this page.

Also, interestingly, I have searched multiple dictionaries and that includes a medical dictionary and, whilst struggling hard to find even one definition of "anti-vaccinationist" "vaccinator" does have a dictionary definition [[35]]

The Invisible Anon 10:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The Invisible Anon, I agree with you that "anti-vaccinationist" may be more of a historical term, and perhaps the purposes and the spirit of the article would be better suited with a different name. On the other hand, the British Medical Association represents more mainstream opinion than other potential sources like whale.to, etc. Andrew73 12:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, it's a long-standing misconception that words are only valid if they appear in dictionaries (the long omission of c**t is a classic example). If they appear in the general corpus of written English, particular when repeatedly used in mainstream publications, they exist. As to the particular extent of "anti-vaccinationist", see here. In the Times archive up to 1985, I find 31 hits for "anti-vaccinationist" (spread from 1833 to 1964) and 71 for "anti-vaccinationists" (1870 to 1962). Google Books finds more, from George Bernard Shaw to recent books. Tearlach 13:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

it has that air of pure invention about it and it is so suspiciously broad as to catch such wide a range of opinions that Midgley says on the talk page[[36]]:-

"Anyone who has real trouble working out what defines an anti-vaccinationist (and why the Chief Medical Office of the UK is not an anti-vacciantionist because he thinks that we should vaccinate against Rubella, but not, routinely against Chickenpox, in 2005) then I suggest two things:-

* 1. Look at the tables and try to match beliefs to people;

* 2. describe a person here on the Talk: page, and we'll come to a delphic concensus on whether they are, or are not."

And by Midgley's definition of "anti-vaccinationist" The UK's Chief Medical Officer is an anti-vaccinationist because, according to this definition he objects on "principled or other grounds" to some vaccinations.

As for the proposition describe a person here on the Talk: page, and we'll come to a delphic concensus? That is extraordinary. You mean it is not possible to tell from the definition? But I thought these people were identifiable and organised? And where do vaccine critics who are not anti-vaccine fit into all of this? They do not, but Midgley's definition includes them.

Further, it just will not be possible to get all relevant information onto just one page, [Article Size] but is that the idea? To restrict all further information because this is the one page for it all?

And this is not an excuse to create one page where all criticism of vaccines is to be dumped and marginalised? Difficult to agree that one.

As for accusations of "bad faith" not being a personal attack, I will bear that in mind and quote it if ever anyone accuses me of accusing them of "bad faith". However, I do not rate my chances of success too highly with that one.

The Invisible Anon 01:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Self-awareness should include understanding that when people come to conclusions, even wrong ones, there is usually some basis. I could suggest as a possibility that if someone has a hissy fit in public, issues threats and asserts another editor of a page one has a clear and declared personal interest in is a vandal, and then instantly lists for deletion a page of that editor when it is, to quote an also experienced editor above here "obviously not going to reach a consensus for deletion" that there is a risk that any or all of it may be taken as prima facie evidence of bad faith. If Leifern prints that out and hangs it on his monitor he will have a reminder of how a proportion of the human race think, and what conclusions they may draw from some possible acts. Now, as to the actual motives and degree of accuracy of the suggested deletion I think that is best left out of here, becuase it isn't relevant to the advice above. In the course of work I often find myself giving similar advice to people whose lives are less happy than many bystanders think they could be, and it is often rejected. Midgley 18:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I can only judge the actions that I observe on Wikipedia. Now, let's take your accusations:

Blanking entire sections of articles is listed as vandalism in WP:Vandalism. There are ongoing debates as to whether it is vandalism only if there is evidence of bad faith, but I find it very hard to ascertain motivation here on this medium and in general. So I issued a warning that such behavior does amount to vandalism, and that it would be reported as such if it was repeated.
There is a policy in Wikipedia also against POV forks and articles with titles that beg the question. In your original version of the article, both these were fulfilled.
"Prima facie" means, quite literally, "on its face." In no way can my conduct be viewed as prima facie evidence. It could, I suppose, and with some imagination and ill will, be construed as "circumstancial evidence," but that is the exact opposite of prima facie.
I think the debate about this article has been useful and probably led to some improvements in the article itself. I don't know how many articles that are put up for deletion get deleted, but the advice of one "experienced editor" is not going to dissuade me from doing what I think is right.
As for what most of the human race thinks, I think our work here is to overcome prejudices and fallacies that we all succumb to every once in a while. A common one among mediocre physicians (as well as a few other exposed professions) is that they have a superior intellect to others, or that medical science has answers to most things. --Leifern 19:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The above is less than complete and accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Leifern&diff=prev&oldid=37935853 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Midgley&diff=prev&oldid=37946791 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Midgley&diff=prev&oldid=37936290 "My son was poisoned by thimerosal and is only now starting to recover. I don't expect everyone to believe me, but I want people to be aware of the specifics of the controversy. Readers of Wikipedia have a right to make informed consent. --Leifern 00:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)" "Are you a sockpuppet for Geni? --Leifern 01:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)" Chill, boy. Midgley 20:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it is entirely consistent with what I have said all along. I have a son who I believe was poisoned - I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I think parents have a right to make an informed decision based on full knowledge of the controversy. This is an entirely rational point of view. I made it clear why I thought your deletions were vandalism, and I warned you that they were. Because both you and Geni have a problem with orthography and remarkably congruent views and similar ways of expressing yourselves, I thought it best to ask. Geni has already had a (fully disclosed) sockpuppet before. Other than that, addressing me as "boy" is pretty disgusting, isn't it? --Leifern 02:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep, though the messiness of the article screams, "cleanup!" - Dozenist talk 03:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I make that 15:3 and rising for keeping it. While I suspect that some participants would like to spend as much time on this rather than writing the article as possible, do we actually need more? Can we call this to a conclusion, and get on with refactoring it, now, please? Midgley 17:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I think a certain amount of time has to pass. --Leifern 17:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I had the impression, but I can't find it in WP policy..., that once the result was clear nobody was obliged to wait longer. The converse doesn't seem so sensible. Midgley 18:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Except under the most unusual circumstances, we let AfD discussions run for a full five days—you're looking for Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. Just continue work with and on the article–since it seems very unlikely to be deleted–while leaving the AfD notice in place; the notice will be removed in due time. At this point I would encourage anyone who would like to discuss the content, name, scope, etc. of the article to move their discussion over to Talk:Anti-vaccinationists.

- Given that the philosophy behind the school, as evinced by its faculty, is wholly poststructuralist/postmodernist, I think references to "is it a scam" should be seen as a demonstration of deep-rooted scepticism towards institutions and categories, or merely ludic.

Delete Unaccredited school not even recognized within its home country[38]. Adrian Lamo · 22:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- According to the link you provide, the EGS is "A non-U.S. entity that has the legal authority to issue degrees usable as credentials in the nation that authorizes issuance of the degrees, but which has not demonstrated that its degrees meet Oregon standards." and NOT unaccredited. Cognos 21:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep. This school *is* accredited by a Swiss Canton, which is the political unit responsible for accreditation within the federation. It is not sketchy, it's edgy - it is low profile by choice. Do you really think that the faculty who teach its seminars would teach at a scam institution? BTW, the institution was set up by Jean-Francois Lyotard. Anyway, more to the point, the U.S. gov't has also given some recognition to the EGS, and is not as sceptical as Oregon about its accreditation status: "According to Wallis (the Canton)university law, the EGS is regionally accredited by the Ministry of Education and grants recognized M.A. and Ph.D. (Doktor der Philosophie) degrees on the basis of the State Council decision by Kanton Wallis (Switzerland), from April 14, 1998. With the decision from December 12, 2000, the United States Department of Education has determined that the European Graduate School satisfies the definition of an eligible institution under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and will be listed in the next edition of the Directory of Postsecondary Institutions published by the U.S. Department of Education. The EGS School Code OPE ID Number is 03518300." [39]Cognos 21:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep The European Graduate School is an accredited institution. Oregon's arbitrary standards do not define what a legitimate institution is. The website itself also states, "PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE HAVE BECOME AWARE OF SOME QUESTIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THIS DATABASE. UNTIL THESE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED, PLEASE DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THIS RESOURCE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT AN INSTITUTION IS PROPERLY ACCREDITED." [40] And therefore cannot be used as a legitimate source of verifiable information. Even if it were verifiably accurate, Oregon's jurisdiction on its standards of accreditation do not apply anywhere else on earth, including the rest of the United States. The EGS is subject to high standards, its faculty and students illustrate this.-- jmark13
Strong Keep I attend this school. I got a federal stafford loan to attend this school, because it is accredited and listed as an institution that the US gov't gives grants in order to attend. Yes, its low key and yes its out of the ordinary, but it definitely does exist and is a great school. I've also spoken to numerous people who have attended schools in Europe with a similar teching style: here are your reading assignments, see me at the end of the quarter. That's basically what this school is like, with the added benefit of having an online forum for students to converse. My class has students from San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Tel-Aviv, Vienna, Miami and lots of other places. I also know numerous professors at UCSD who have friends who teach at EGS. I also added some more links so that it has more content and is not just an ad. -- lotu5 At resist d0t ca / http://deleteTheBorder.org/lotu5
- Nice work! Maybe you could also add some of the info from Wolfgang Shirmacher (sp?) page as well, that would round out the article nicely... Cognos 16:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep The school has a rather interesting concept, the professors who actually teach there (watch the videos) are beyond doubt, Switzerland has a strong reputation for providing a high quality education (not to mention the breathtaking mountains, chocolate and Swiss cheese), the school is operating successfully for several years, it is private however (which is not obvious in Europe) - and therefore it is quite clear that such a concept can be a thorn in the eye of some people. personally i doubt however, that other schools, wikipedia editors, or users will find a similar (high profile) faculty or such an innovative concept somewhere else. the article should be expanded instead - following the templates/models provided by other universities. As for the Baudrillard entry it must be said that the Baudrillard archive there is the most complete archive of Baudrillard texts i have ever seen (the other one would be the Baudrillard on the Web at www.uta.edu) deleting the link to the egs faculty page would actually violate the spirit of Wikipedia and is (at least in my eyes) a clear NPOV case. Philophob 18:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep I also attend this school, actually i came from south america to follow the seminars with this great pool of teachers (if you happen to know anything about cinema or philosophy you will get blown with the names of people that EGS gathers) I live in Switzerland since i came to the school. I was very surprised by this topic but as someone said this is a very avantgarde model institution, inheriteing a lot from open source models of peer knowledge production so no wonder why few might get confused. Today its around 200 students. EGS is a one of a kind place and has a lot to show and develop from its potential, wikipedia is part of this peer2peer model of education and as far as i see it there shall be even more work on this pages, i will post on the student mailing list inviting them to come in and help improve the contents even with their student pages and their notes from classes as it should be keeping record from what many of what this great minds have said in our seminars and that might never get to be published anywhere else. I think there are already many other good reasons explained above so i will stop here, KEEP, :) Alejo 14:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misconceptions about the Shi'a

I have nominated this article for deletion since it has a thesis and a theme (misconceptions about the shi'a). Essentially, it is a POV. I don't agree or disagree with it, I just don't see any reason for it to be it's own article. Hence I belive it should be merged into the shi'a article.

Any article beginning with "misconceptions about" is inherently POV. Delete. Stifle 01:36, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep The topic is valid, there are aboundant Misconceptions about the Shi'a, factualy verifiable.

For example, Shi'a do NOT belive Ali should have been the last prophet, BUT many people have the Misconception that Shi'a belive such a thing. It is perfecly NPOV to claim that people have a missconception in such a case. Another example is about people haveing the Misconception of Shi'a belivingtheir Imams as equals to the prophet. They do not belive that, hence it is NPOV to claim that being a Misconception.

However, if that is not the case for some reason i can not think of, the vote should be "rename", not "delete". I stress the importance of this information being represented in Wikipedia --Striver 11:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I am convinced the informtation should be kept, but why as a seperate article? Sethie 16:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

For the same reason that virtualy every single section in the Shi'a article has its own seperate artciel. --Striver 17:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I am not privy to that information, so your response has accomplished nothing.... Sethie 03:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

What i meant is that every section in the Shi'a article has a main article, otherwise the Shi'a article would be way too long. Just take a look, all sections there have a main article. In fact, ill do as you proposed, ill create a section in the Shi'a article leading to this article as the main article. --Striver 01:38, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The myths about Shi'a are far deeper than even this article presents and quite vicious. I know this from first hand expereince in and outside of the middle east.

[edit] Two Stars for Peace solution

This entry (Two Stars for Peace solution) is highly surrealistic. Since its creation in November 2004, it has been edited twice, to categorize it. It could remain here as an ironic joke or something - but maybe i don't really feel like laughing right now. What about you? Isn't there an alternate Wikiproject about hoaxes and things? Or should we simply let it there, and categorize in Category:Hoaxes? I also though that the US already had a 51st state, and didn't need anymore. Lapaz 16:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll just add that if this seems harmless enough, it does takes place in the Category:Middle East peace efforts, which is already - but not enough - quite large. Do we really need to insert hoaxes in it? Lapaz

Delete. It's not a hoax - the book does exist - but it appears to be advertising, and doesn't seem to meet notability requirements. --Aaron 15:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: We already have a 51st state? Where? --Aaron 15:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Depends on who you ask. For example, Shigeru Mizuki considers Japan to be the US 51st state. I think I read somewhere that the The Guardian says the UK is now the 51st state. If that's so, let them - it'll lower my taxes, hopefully. ^_^--み使い Mitsukai 17:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. The page as it stands is pretty much advertising and irrelevant sitecruft, and the site doesn't appear to meet WP:WEB anyway (almost all the hits on Google are from computer-generated web spam pages designed to screw around with Google's page ranking. --Aaron 15:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep 92k hits on Google and in the same category of sites as Newgrounds. Not a poorly written article, either. --AlexWCovington (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: What search string did you use? Cause when I search for UGOPlayer it comes up with "89,900 English pages for UGOPlayer" but at the bottom of the search it says In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 6 already displayed. When you remove that option, it shows practically all the results are from flashplayer.com and ugoplayer.com. I've never seen so many results from so few sites before on google. For reference "UGO Player" has 268/28 unique results, without quotes goes up to 357,000/121 unique but a lot of those arn't relevant. Petros471 16:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep in mind the site was recently renamed. A search for "flashplayer.com" would probably be more appropriate. Fagstein 18:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  - That comes up with 454 uniques, rather more I agree. I'm still neutral on this one (for now at least). Petros471 22:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep [41] A site that is listed in the top 3,000 traffic sites certainly deserves to get on. Especially when YTMND only ranks in the top 2,500 and has no real deletion intended. Plus, this site is a major flash site, since it only accepts quality submissions. [42] Also, when researched, it has approximately on 330,000 less hits that Newgrounds, which comes out as a 10% difference, even though FP has been around for about 1/2 the time as Newgrounds. 67.80.168.7 18:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment 100% of this IP address's contributions since Jan. 17 have been to this article, its Talk page or its AFD section. Fagstein 18:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment Don't you get it? The reason for that is because this is the only article I care about. And I probably understand the site a lot better because I actually was there for about a year or so. I know what the inside things are, I know what the outside things are, and I know how to look at things without bias from there. It makes sense that this would be the only one I care about, because I was probably the most nationalistic (In terms of sites) person there, and probably will be the last one. So yes, 100% of my contibutions are there, and with reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.168.7 (talk • contribs)
    - Please see Wikipedia:Vanity about why editing articles about a site you're involved with is a bad idea. Fagstein 05:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
      - "The insertion of any textual personal biographical information within an article which does not significantly add to the clarity or meaning of the article. (Vanity text edits.)" Is that what you are reffering to? Nothing in there is about me, and everything iscontributable to the article. Like, if a person goes on, and sees a site, what would they want? What's it's purpose, how does it meet that purpose, does it have a second part to it (In this can a forum), and in this case, what has happened to that forum in the past. Maybe even what groups and clubs are on that forum. I will get you a poll on a neutral site on whether certain movies are cult or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.168.7 (talk • contribs) 15:46, February 4, 2006
        
        Just because it's not about you (I have no way of verifying that, BTW) doesn't mean it's not vanity. The fact that you're writing about something you're involved with is. That said, the problem here isn't mainly vanity, but the fact that the article contains massive amounts of information that is not verifiable and hence should be deleted. See WP:NFT WP:OR and WP:V for Wikipedia policies on verifiability (and while you're at it, you may want to consider creating an account). Fagstein 00:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        I have one. It's sbloemeke. I just don't use it much. And for your information, I have not been there since last May. It's not vanity to write about something there. And you know what? What is vain in that article? Anything? Give me a reference. Just because you were involved in something doesn't mean that you cannot write in a neutral unvain point of view. Reference something. Anything. Use your own logic. Oh, and if you want, why don't I just quote the number of views with the ratings of the movies/games. There's your source that they are popular. Numbers don't lie. 67.80.168.7 03:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Do we have precedent on keeping by virtue of Alexa ranking? ie, are we going to have articles on all sites that ever occupy the top 3K? I agree, the ranking makes it putatively notable, but I'm concerned as to the precedent. Adrian Lamo · 22:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment I've rewritten it slightly. Assuming it survives the revert war it makes the article a bit better (but still with way too much unencyclopedic content). Fagstein 06:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Are.You.Freaking.Kidding.Me. I will be reverting this ASAP, for if it is left as it is, it has no value whatsoever. But, I will offer you a compromise, if you wish. You can get rid of that "The Site" section and add a link, if you wish, but all of the original "The Forum" stuff will remain. Otherwise, this will be reverted and reverted back 100 million times. Thank you.67.80.168.7 14:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete, as seems to fail notability criteria, even for Alexa rank (WP:GT#Alexa_test suggests top 1000 may be notable). Google listings seems pretty low outside of the official domain names, and the article seems to be full of advertising, without asserting notability.--Petros471 10:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Alexa ratings. While Alexa is not pefect, a rank of 2,992 is very significant. Turnstep 18:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
New idea I still advocate for keeping as is, but I will suggest an alternative. The following things would happen:
- 1. The article is labled as a stub
- 2. The stub is given a neutrality dispute on the top.
- 3. The article is left as is, or added on to, until references are added.
- 4. Once references are added, it is then removed from being a stub, with an agreement to not delete any of the present sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.168.7 (talk • contribs)
  - I'm glad you're amenable to a compromise situation. I have no issue with adding neutral, encyclopedic content to the article. But it has to be referenced, and has to be the opinion of someone other than the poster. Fagstein 20:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    - Reference added for authors, so there is reference for everything now. And it is now the opinion of the people who voted. All are referenced. 67.80.168.7 22:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Plus, someone might plausibly wikisearch or google Vergon 6 at some point, and in doing so should be led to the above list. youngamerican (talk) 17:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  - The GFDL requires no such thing. The relevant sections are 4I and 5.

[edit] Butt Rock

It isn't an actual genre of music, it is just a derogatory phrase used to describe Glam metal, which is already mentioned in said Glam metal article - Deathrocker 07:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Deathrocker, is this a delete vote or a redirect proposal? If it's the latter, then go ahead and do it. (Please do not submit redirect proposals here in "articles for deletion" and save people time and effort.) Thanks. --Perfecto 16:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete as unverifiable, for the moment. Stifle 14:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

There is currently no Butt Rock or Glam Metal category when searching for music at any reputible record store. Deathrocker is expressing distain for the term based on personal bias. Butt Rock is a commonly used phrase in Western Culture. Many word usages are derivitives of slang (ie; Glam Metal) and have a current cultural meaning and value. If we are going to completely delete Butt Rock from Wikipedia then we must follow through with that line of thinking and delete all such references to terms not commonly recognized by the recording/music industry (including Glam Metal). Revisions to such articles where necissary (and to eliminate bias) would be a prudent course. It seams that the spirit and beauty of Wikipedia is the ability to discover truth, not to be revisionist historians. Thanks for your time (operator). --69.62.131.222 16:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, if we are going to eliminate terms based on derogatory nature we should review Dirty Sanchez. Sincerely, --Radioflyr 16:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Wow... Wikipedia seems like a great place for both of these definitions to exist. It would seem to me that some one doesn't "like" the term "Butt Rock", even though it is a commonly used term, and would seek to eliminate it. I don't like the term "middle class", but that doesn't stop it from being used and being a Wikipedia definition.

It is already included in the Glam Metal article, its not the fact that it is a derogatory phrase I have no problem at all with that, its the point that it isn't an actual genre of music as it is portrayed to be in the article, as mentioned it is written into the glam metal article (Along with other derogatory terms like "Hair metal" and "poodle rock"). - Deathrocker 05:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

And here's what you're not hearing me say (type); Glam Metal is metal music and Butt Rock is not a synonym for Glam Metal. People refer to many bands who are NOT metal music as Butt Rock even though many bands that ARE Butt Rock are also Glam Metal: Glam Metal has to be "metal", Butt Rock does NOT have to be metal. Nelson, Kiss, Led Zepplain and Night Ranger are just a few example s of bands that are NOT metal but ARE Butt Rock (see how creatively they avoid the term "Butt Metal""). I'm okay with merging the definition, but let's merge it with something that makes logical sense! Otherwise adapt your adendum to Glam Metal and let's move on with our lives. Moderator: I'm confident that both Deathrocker and I appreciate your time, thanks! --Radioflyr 06:02, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Then show reliable links where bands such as KISS (Who have made Glam metal albums during the 80s and early 90s anyway), Led Zepplin (Who helped bring about metal), etc are considered as "Butt rock", aswell as butt rock being an actual genre.

The bands this article pertains to; Nelson, Poison, Warrant, Winger, Slaughter, BulletBoys, Danger Kitty (Now Metal Skool; a Glam metal parody band) are all considered to be part of "Glam Metal"... metal itself is a subgenre of hard rock anyway. You seem to be taking the extreme metal bands as the blueprint of what "metal" is about, when that isn't the case. - Deathrocker 07:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

1st is a random user complied list on Amazon, it isn't an offical list by the site. 2nd looks like another random blog 3rd has nothing to do with any of the bands mentioned in this article. 4th is a personal geocities site.

Where are reliable links from actual music media or related sources claiming this to be an actual genre? - Deathrocker 19:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Metal is a subcategory of Rock, therefor Rock cannot again be a subcategory of Metal (Rock/Metal/Rock?!). KFC's are a type of fast-tfood chain however not all fast food-chains are KFC's. Nelson is NOT Metal and neither is Bachman-Turner Overdrive. I would agree with you, deathrocker, that the links above are all personal opinnion however, Butt Rock is a word defined by its usage much like Glam Metal and Dirty Sanchez. Unoffical sources act to high-lite the fact that the word is commonly used by many people to include more than just Glam Metal. We should use Wikipedia to document how a new term is actually used in the English language, not to confine people to a meaning or definition that does not represent the broad usage of the word. If sources from a recording industry are what validates a term or genre then again we must remove Glam Metal from Wikipedia. I am not arguing that this is a genre, but a term in pop culture much like Glam Metal (no record producer in their right mind would ever use either to term to sell their records). --Radioflyr 06:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Article title violates WP:NPOV. Ikkyu2 22:34, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it should be deleted on the assertion that it isn't a valid genre. It is still a term that is used to describe some bands or types of music. Maybe a statement that it isn't a genre would be in order, but having a Wikipedia article (read accurate) is very important for the term, IMHO. --Donander 06:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Original research. Could be recreated in an acceptable form, possibly.--ragesoss 20:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep (but re-write). There is just enough evidence IMO via the googlehits that the term is genuinely beginning to be widely used, and not just in English-language or film contexts.Staffelde 01:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British and Irish current events

Almost a month out of date. The only edit since 6th January has been a spelling correction. If the article is to be brought up to date it will have to be rewritten anyway. BigBlueFish 18:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Yes, it does need to be kept up-to-date, and I would volunteer to do it if Wikipedia were not my primary source of current events. This is not a reason to delete though imho. Thryduulf 19:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep. The arguments have not changed since the previous AfD, therefore I restate my vote and comments from last time. Inactivity for a period is not grounds for deletion, and some of the other regional current events pages have had few edits since last summer/early autumn either. I also fail to understand what you mean by If the article is to be brought up to date it will have to be rewritten anyway - current events articles are not continuously rewritten, they are periodically archived. -- Arwel (talk) 01:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC) :
- Strong keep. Wikipedia has reported Current Events from the early days of its existence (that's why there's a link in the main navigation bar). The fact that nobody has considered anything that's happened in the UK or Ireland particularly noteworthy in the last 6 weeks or so which has not alternatively been listed in Current events is neither here nor there. If you press this deletion request, why have you not also listed Current events, Current sports events, Current science and technology events, Current events in Africa, Current events in Iraq, Current events in Hong Kong and Macao, Chinese current events, ~~Current events in Cisjordan,~~ Canadian current events, United States current events, Current events in Australia and New Zealand, Current events in the European Union, and Current events in Poland, several of which have also not been updated since May? I point out that the regional current events pages were created because the world page was getting far too large. -- Arwel 5 July 2005 22:54 (UTC)
  - Comment - I hadn't really researched other regional current events articles, but my firm opinion is that these should also be deleted if they have not got anyone updating them. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The purpose of such articles is to put Wikipedia articles in the context of current events; but this is pointless if nobody maintains them. The uniform nature of current events pages means that it's extremely easy to recreate one if there's at least one person prepared to maintain it at intervals smaller than a month. I cannot believe that with its current world focus that Chinese current events has not been updated since September. Even British and Irish current events have seen a story that made the first headline in Current events on February 2nd. The deletion of Current events in Cisjordan also establishes that you cannot justify this article just because others haven't been deleted yet. BigBlueFish 12:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    - Comment - your comment that Even British and Irish current events have seen a story that made the first headline in Current events on February 2nd would appear to indicate that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose and usage of the current events articles: there's no such thing as a 'headline' event - items are added chronologically, the more recent at the top. Regional current events pages are used for interesting news items which exclusively affect those areas - if they are of wider interest or ramifications they go in the global article. The items should be used to link to associated encyclopaedia articles. As I said, the arguments have not changed since the last AfD nomination, and I would commend a re-reading of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British and Irish current events. -- Arwel (talk) 13:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
      - Comment - forgive me for misunderstanding the ordering of the Current events article. It remains that one of the seven world headlines of that day was predominantly associated with the UK and no doubt has specific local consequences. It's beside the point though... the current article almost implies that Charles Kennedy is still standing for leader of the Lib Dems because of its outdatedness, and is confusing because it refers to days of the week as if it was documenting last week. I have read and re-read the previous AfD and there seem to be only two arguments justifying a keep. The first is that it will be updated; if this is the case then why has this not happened? Don't tell me that the Thames whale or the dissolution of Fathers4Justice don't fall into relevant topics for the article. The second is that the information documents past events in an encyclopedic fashion. Yes they do, but in this case they should not be labelled as current events. We should instead make 2006 in the UK or a similar title, just as the Irish, for example, have done with 2006 in Ireland. Take an outsider's view of the encyclopedia. This article makes it look bad. Why is it that we are so resistive to change? BigBlueFish 20:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment - I should also point out that the last discussion involved the statement, "It will (we promise) continue to be maintained.". That lasted five months. It's more important to focus on the core of the encylopedia and leave things like this to Wikinews if there isn't enough interest to keep it going. BigBlueFish 12:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    - Comment: Fair play, please; that quote is taken out of context, and was made by someone arguing for the page's deletion. Hiding talk 08:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
      - Comment - apologies. The comment was made by someone arguing for the page's deletion who was assessing the reasons for inclusion. As such it reflects promises made by You, func, and Thryduulf, and conditional keep votes by Joolz and adamsan. BigBlueFish 13:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        Point of order: I made no such promise. I offered help in keeping the page up to date. Nobody used the word promise except for Aaron. Hiding talk 13:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        Comment - your words were "I will help to keep it up to date". That's a positive future assertion, whether or not it is to be interpreted as a commitment. I'm not criticising the fact that you haven't been able to sustain that assertion, which I understand, but that at least some people chose to support keeping the article on the grounds that they thought that you and others would. BigBlueFish 15:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        I am merely seeking to redress the fact that the comments in question do not support the statement you were seeking to base on the strength of them. Your latest statement, that people have voted keep in that debate on the grounds that they thought it would be maintained is somewhat misleading too. One user voted keep as long as it is maintained, but that vote made no mention of who maintains it or how often it should be maintained. The original discussion is there for all to read and draw their own conclusions from; there is no need to keep referring to facets of it. I would also hope it isn't too much to ask for some sort of apology for your interpretation of my words as implying a commitment when you agree no such commitment is inherent within them. I apologise if you feel I am taking this too personally; I merely happen to believe my words should not be presented as meaning more than they did. As I stated, I offered help in keeping the page up to date; your quotation of my exact words, "I will help to keep it up to date", supports that, and so I find myself unclear as to why you felt it necessary to quote my own words at me when I have already elucidated what I said, and when they are already on the record for all to see. Rather than get sidetracked into debating the merits and arguments of the previous discussion, would it not be better to allow this one to develop? My offer still stands: I am willing to help maintain the page. Hiding talk 16:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        But will you? Nobody makes any commitments on Wikipedia for which they can be blamed or incriminated for should they not honour them. That is the free nature of the wiki. The use of the word "promise" may in that sense be interpreted as such a commitment, and I apologise for such an ambiguity, which was made for the sake of quoting a past summary of the last consensus. It remains that "I will" instigates much more optimism than "I am willing". We are now in the position to look back at our decision, see that in spite of good intentions it has not proved practicable, stop trying to maintain that the content of the article is current and refocus our efforts on content that does not expire. BigBlueFish 16:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        I appreciate your apology; as to anyone maintaining the article is current, I'm not sure anyone is. The page however, cannot be archived since we can't move it whilst it is up for afd. I'm also unclear as to how to split the page history into four pages, so that those users who contributed can be credited at October 2005 in Britain and Ireland, November 2005 in Britain and Ireland, December 2005 in Britain and Ireland and January 2006 in Britain and Ireland. Hiding talk 17:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. This belongs on WikiNews, but we can't transwiki it because of license incompatibility. Stifle 01:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - It doesn't even need to be transwikied. We already have wikinews:United Kingdom. BigBlueFish 20:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. It's not a transwiki, WikiNews is for first-hand news accounts, which this page is not. Otherwise we would have to transwiki and delete all current affairs pages. If the page does become inactive, I would suggest users consider simply redirecting the page to Current events if they are concerned. As to the inactivity of the page, I no longer have the time to update this page solely, and although I contacted various people who indicated they would help at the last afd, none was forthcoming. Hiding talk 08:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. It is as far as I can see inaccurate to say that "Wikinews is for first-hand news accounts." Read this page and note the "two main kinds of articles." As far as I can see, most of the articles on the Wikinews main page right now appear to be non-first-hand. --Craig Stuntz 13:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Apologise, I was relying on WP:NOT; Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories (however, our sister project Wikinews does exactly that). It's still not necessarily a transwiki though, as per WP:NOT Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be significantly more up-to-date than most reference sources since we can incorporate new developments and facts as they are made known. See current events for examples. Hiding talk 13:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Redirect to Current events. In light of the discussion here, I think it would be more appropriate in terms of preserving the history to redirect until somebody is able to maintain it. BigBlueFish 13:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete Absolutely pointless if not to be kept up to date. Also inappropriate title. The description of the page undermines the title. The Channel Islands are listed in the description of the page, yet they are not part of Britain or Ireland. TomPhil 00:12, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment The Channel Islands are legally British Islands. They are also thought by many to be part of the British Isles. Also, the term British does not always refer to Britain. Your point regarding the name is therefore somewhat redundant. Hiding talk 21:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  - But there are several comics with those qualifactions already on wikipedia such as The adventures of Gumbo,The Coffee Achievers,Concerned,Courting Disaster,Everybody Loves Eric Raymond, Fabricari and Genevieve's Shades of Grey. Why should Haru-Sari be specifaclly deleted?Burning phoneix 22:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
    - Because I found it, I suppose =\. Webcomics are websites, and it fails WP:WEB. Obli (Talk) 23:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
      - But shouldn't we just leave the up until the website fails? I mean, Haru-Sari is one of the more proffesional works out there. The artist is actually an artist by profession (she pencils and inks a published manga) and is planning to release a published edition of the comic soon. Surely that's enought to keep it on? Burning phoneix 00:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
        
        Fine, have it then, I guess I'd have to be consistent all through the endless swamp of webcomic articles if this one got through, and I don't have the time for that :)

[edit] Adam Woeger

Article is pure vanity to promote an unknown song writer and band. The content of the article was mostly added by an anon. user and another user with few edits [43] has been promoting this band on Wikipedia as well. A google search for "Adam Woeger" brings up 843 including personal websites, internet chat, newsgroups, and yahoo profiles. This is an non-notable person and should be deleted created for vanity. As the article says, Adam is considered to be one of the earliest people to use the Internet as an evangelism tool. Wikipedia isn't a personal promotional tool. His band Prays is now also listed for deletion because the same person who added information to Woeger created and was the only one to add information to the band related article.

Keep - Has been very actively seeking to purchase territory to legitimize its status; one purchase attempt led to some rather tragic real-world consequences in a political backlash (several dead, see [44] and paper news sources). It's rather notable as a result. Georgewilliamherbert 01:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

It would be a good idea to add that to the article then, since that is a case for real world notability. However, the link you have provided is a little ambiguous (and is from the micronation's own web site). It says "Awdal Roads Company is a completely separate entity from the Principality of Freedonia." and "A recent trip to Awdal by Jim Davidson and Michael VanNotten, of Awdal Roads Co., ended up involving Freedonia in a negative way. Some violence resulted, and many things in Awdal have been called into question." --kingboyk 01:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

It's also mentioned in Paul Theroux's book Dark Star Safari in his discussion of his travels down Africa's east coast, and numerous other paper references. I was well aware of it prior to being seriously interested in either WP or micronations. I agree that it should be mentioned in the article (and it's on my mental list...). Georgewilliamherbert 02:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I've read some of Mr Thereoux's work but alas not that one. Wikipedia articles should tell me these things, I don't know it all. In fact all I know is that I know nothing, a position every responsible person should take if you ask me! :) --kingboyk 02:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Since 'Freedonia' themselves say the issue was not directly related to them, it might better belong in an article about Awdal or Somaliland? --kingboyk 02:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

My understanding is that consensus of independent observers is that it wasn't Freedonia's fault, but that they were the triggering event. I think it's probably notable for all those pages at some level. Have to check references. Georgewilliamherbert 02:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prays

Vanity article writen by one person [46] who only edits articles related to the band and who most likely is in the band. The same editor was the author of the band members and Prays albums wikipedia pages also up for deletion. As stated on the "singer's" page (Adam Woeger-- up for deletion), he is using the internet as a promotional tool. Well, it looks as if Wikipedia is a part of it. A google search of "Adam Woeger" brings up less than 900 hits (including internet newsgroups and chatting). The other band member Paul Guffey (up for deletion) is even less notable. The page forks to promote individual albums In The Garden (Prays), Where He Leads Me, Living For Jesus, Very Christmas, Only Believe, Spontaneous Worship, In Your Presence, and Worship sampler (all up for deletion). Every single edit that adds information is the same person on every page linked here. Even the Category "Prays albums" is created by that person. This is pure vanity and self-promotion.

[edit] Prince Amarjit Singh

Delete: I think this is a prank. The purported websites have been registered by somebody else in the US, not the UK. I can't find any references by searching for "prince amarjit singh" or "ringos charity" or [48]. The article was created as a solo edit by the account and then vandalized or embellished as part of the prank by the known and repeatedly blocked vandal IP 194.154.22.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). See also the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony kenneth item above. Hu 22:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete Gosh, Two hundred million pounds would at least BUY one a write-up somewhere on the net Ruby 01:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Interestingly artsearchengine.com, while registered in the US, is registered to someone called Singh (KC Singh, not Amarjit) who gives a UK mobile phone (cellphone) number as a contact number. The website is up but just consists of a "coming soon" page. Both the other websites are also registered to a UK individual (Padma Singh, in Windsor, UK). (The location of a domain registrar doesn't say anything about the person registering it; tony-walton.me.uk is actually registered through Schlund in Germany, for example, and I'm UK-based). That's not enough verification for what looks like a complete load of tosh, though. Delete, along with Tony kenneth which looks strangely similar. Tonywalton | Talk 11:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete Article lists his primary notability as involvement in Punk'd, but individual is listed under "Celebrities who have been "punk'd" but haven't aired on MTV" -- a near miss on a single television appearance and a friendship witha notable individual =! notability, unless something else turns up on him.

Delete Does not meet criteria guidelines at WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO. Anonymous IP 201.0.37.97 (talk · contribs) has asserted some notability on my talk page, "…[Frank Alexander] has been writing songs for Eric Martin, Richie Kotzen, etc." However he has no listing at the All Music Guide. An IMDB search is inconclusive. There is a listing at Rottentomatoes.com but it's unclear if it is the same person and even if it is, it's unlikely that the films listed would pass the notability critera for films. I would suggest to the anonymous editor that if he wants to assert notability, he should do so by citing sources rather than arguing it on talk pages. If he can do that, with credible references like a discography or a starring role in a film that has received wide distribution, I may change my vote. --Malber (talk · contribs) 03:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Additional comment The article now contends that at the age of 12 he wrote "Bullitproof" which was performed by the New Zealand band Pacifier. However this review of the group's album does not mention anything about the song being written by a child prodigy. You would think that it would be worth mentioning. (Note: subject was 12 in 1986, the album was released in 2003.) If it can be authenticated that Frank Alexander is the author of this song and that the song charted on any national music chart in at least one large or medium-sized country, then I may change my vote. I still feel a bit like "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" The person contesting deletion needs to be doing this dirty work. --Malber (talk · contribs) 16:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Additional comment unfortunately, due to 201.x's vandalism, the page has been semi-protected by Nlu (talk · contribs). I don't believe there are going to be any constructive updates to this article to bring the subject up to notability status --Malber (talk · contribs) 18:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment - she (and everyone else) needs to be mentioned somewhere on Wikipedia, but does it really belong on this article?

Needs to be? I strongly dispute that. I see little if any encyclopaedic merit in lists of names of people who lacked the talent to be selected for a show which is, in the end, just a talent show anyway. In ten years time if the winners have made a name for themselves they can have an article. Why this pressing need to document every details of every TV show as it happens?

[edit] Worship sampler

Vanity article writen by band member of unnotable band. Article created by a user that only adds to wikipedia on pages related to Prays -- also up for deletion.[56] Same user is the only one to edit this page and the only editor to contribute information on pages related to the band. The pages connected to the band Adam Woeger, Paul Guffey, In The Garden (Prays), Where He Leads Me, Living For Jesus, Very Christmas, Only Believe, Spontaneous Worship, In Your Presence, and Worship sampler are also up for deletion. Every single edit that adds information is the same user on every page linked here. Even the Category "Prays albums" is created by that user. This is pure vanity and self-promotion. A google search ("Adam Woeger" prays)--that is the singer/main member-- brings up 150 hits. Includes other unnotable/local bands Elisha's Request and Cynthia Paap, also up for deletion.

There seems to be a bizarre anti-micronational wiki page vendetta brewing here. Georgewilliamherbert 00:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Not at all. You'll see I've actually cleaned a lot of them up, and spent a great deal of time on it. However, I would concede one thing: that the label micronation doesn't help. It's too broad. If these things were labelled as political movements or clubs they might stand a better chance. As it is, when lumped in with Sealand or Republic of Minerva which has/had territory, Hutt River Province which has gained legendary status in Australia, and curious historical anomalies such as Lundy or Republic of Indian Stream, entities such as this come across as vanity and cruft personified. --kingboyk 00:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, a small wave of these AFDs against micronations, starting with the one User:Gene Poole founded and right after his apparently controversial Request for Adminship? There are only about six dots here to draw the lines between, and the pattern is sort of obvious. Either this is some sort of retaliatory action, or the timing is so ludicrously coincidental that nobody's going to believe otherwise. If you are serious, I strongly urge you to back off AFDing these and try and make a case on talk pages. Georgewilliamherbert 01:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I nominated Principality of Freedonia for deletion first, having stumbled into the micronation area yesterday via Sealand, the sub pages of which I have cleaned up immensely. I then came to Empire of Atlantium. Well aware of the controversy, I asked for Guy's opinion on whether it would be wise to delete it given the past controversy and that exactly these kind of comments would arise. Based on his advice, as an admin and a user I trust, and given my further research and contemplation I went ahead. This is all quite transparent and is detailed on User_talk:JzG.

Unfortunately, Guy has made a bit of a balls up by then proceeding to nominate a truck load of others including the famous Hutt River Province. I knew nothing about that and have voted delete. The other nominations are his, not mine, no doubt inspired by my question to him. I have nothing to do with those nominations, and was taken by surprise.

You will see from edit histories that we are both neutral editors with a strong distaste for cruft and vanity articles. That's the only agenda here. I would respectfully suggest therefore that you assume good faith, check out our edit histories, and comment on the proposed deletions based on the merit of the articles and the deletion arguments and nothing else!

That's my final word on conspiracy. I am a good, solid, neutral editor and my history shows that. --kingboyk 01:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Please see my note on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Principality of Freedonia; it's notable for a real-world tragedy associated with one of their land purchase attempts.

The Irony here is that you two have started out by (assume good faith) accidentally hitting a bunch of the more notable and well known micronational pages, and Gene's; Gene has also been fairly active in trying to keep truly not-notable micronations (that truly are nothing more than just a web presence, etc) from getting pages or excess coverage in the main Micronation article.

I am not a micronation enthusiast; I don't belong to any and merely find it an interesting subject, combining aspects of small group and volunteer group dynamics with geopolitics and the evolving definitions of what soverignty means in the modern world. I have no problem with the premise that there are internet-only and non-notable micronations not worthy of WP entries. I believe that Gene would agree with that premise as well, and I think he's been actively working within the micronation article spaces to try and accomplish that, though from the standpoint of a micronation member/founder/enthusiast. Though personally involved, his NPOV seems to stay in good shape.

If this is indeed a serious interest in cleaning up the micronations section of WP, I submit to you that a bunch of AFDs are the wrong approach. I also submit to you that given the AFDs so far, there is an issue with identifying the level of notability of various articles. Purely in-wikipedia and google search sources aren't necessarily good enough. I suggest that engaging on say Talk:Micronation to identify consistent and community agreeable notability standards is a good course, rather than continuing to AFD things. Georgewilliamherbert 01:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Your words are reasonable and I take your point. However, AFD is the best way we have of determining these as a community. I've addressed your more specific point at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Principality of Freedonia. --kingboyk 02:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep - The number of articles about it specifically and the number of articles that mention it while covering the overall phenomenon suggest sufficient notability. (notoriety, I guess, rather than laudatory praise). This article (and the arguments given about its notability) seems a textbook example of why the Google test does not always reliably work to judge notability. I'm at a loss as to some of these nominations. However, suggesting that there's a vendetta brewing against micronations does seem to be stretching the point a bit, lets assume good faith. Lar is saying "Keep" even though this isn't a vote because sometimes he fears his opinion isn't clear! ++Lar: t/c 05:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Weak Keep - my instincts tell me this is little more than an elaborate hoax (the nation, not the article), and not of the same notability as Hutt River Province, etc. However, the references prove that it is, at least marginally, notable. --djrobgordon 07:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doughboys

Delete. This appears to be a vanity page for an unpublished (and generally, that should mean not notable) novella written by Christopher Levy (User:BigGuy219). This book could not be found on Amazon.com as a published work, and the article appears to have been created and largely edited by one anonymous IP. The writer has also done some edits on the page. Might be a great novel, mind you, but if everyone published a summary of their unpublished Great American (or Russian, or British or what have you) Novel, Wikipedia would be filled to the brim.

Additionally, a page called "doughboys" would more appropriately be used as a explanation of the WWI term for soldiers. The 1930 Buster Keaton film is also in wide circulation. Westwinds 23:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carrie Bradshaw

much better text on main Sex in the City page Rakerman 23:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep notable enough character from a notable enough show. youngamerican (talk) 00:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge and redirect Offers no new information. In fact I will be be bold and do just that. --kingboyk 01:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support the Merge and redirect action taken by kingboyk. The main Sex and the City page is much better.RayGates 02:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  - The great thing about a merge and redirect is that it's easily undone. In the unlikely event that someone comes up with some amazing depth of information that requires a seperate article, they can go right ahead and reverse my action. As Ruby says this is a major show - but a hopeless article. I think Wikipedia doesn't lose anything by my action, it has actually gained. --kingboyk 02:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep It's not like this show is an ensemble piece with dozens of major characters Ruby 01:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment. While I consider that Carrie Bradshaw warrants a standalone article as WP:FICT, there is plenty of material to answer info on the Sex in the City page. Would vote to keep if there was a decent article. Capitalistroadster 03:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep --Ter e nc e Ong (恭喜发财) 06:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep don't know what the contents are but should be a sufficiently notable character to have its own page. MLA 10:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- When someone comes up with a good article, a new one can be created, but this vote is about the current article, which does not deserve to be kept. Why don't you check the contents before voting? RayGates 13:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  - No Comment because I'm not going to bite the newbies and the above statement speaks for itself. MLA 18:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    - For future reference: Go the article. That will redirect you to the Sex & City article with a little message at the top saying redirected from Carrie Bradshaw. Click on Carrie Bradshaw, and you'll go to the original article. You can then view the history. Here's a link which will take you right there: [59]. That's the last edit before I redirected. One paragraph and nothing which does any more than state the obvious. --kingboyk 23:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment. I restored the stub (for now), since the AfD seems to be leaning towards keep, for now. If the vote does indeed come out as M&R, a quick reversion to Kingboyk's edit will do nicely. youngamerican (talk) 00:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Whatever happens, I shall probably unilaterally replace it with a merge and redirect unless the article improves. It's an interesting conundrum really, because on the one hand we have this AFD debate, on the other hand we have a clear precedent that merge and redirect is appropriate for very small articles which are closely related to another subject and which have little chance of being reasonably expanded. Of course, I won't revert any such change if it's undone with a good reason stated in the edit summary. --kingboyk 01:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. If the consensus, as viewed by the closing admin, is keep, it would be inappropriate to unilaterally M&R. The best bet, if the result is keep, would be to slap an expansion tag on the article to ensure that it is improved and expanded. If the final tally indicates no consensus, however, it would be entirely acceptable to M&R and slap an expansion tag on the talk page, letting those that like the show know about the attention needed for the article. Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 01:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I would prefer to move that this debate be closed. I don't believe anybody will vote to delete. The merge/redirect issue can then be resolved at that page. --kingboyk 01:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment cheers for the technical advice. A low quality article does not mean it should not exist. The article should be tagged for cleanup of some kind rather than being removed. MLA 09:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. C'mon, guys! The overwhelming precedent is that notable characters from important books/films/shows get articles. Grandmasterka 08:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, cleanup and expand. Despite my own personal dislike of the series, the majority of TV series have pages for major (and often minor) characters. Essexmutant 12:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- In which case there should be articles for at least each of the four major characters. The descriptions of the characters on the Sex and the City page could be separated out into separate articles.RayGates 17:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  - I agree. The show is iconic enough and the characters are themselves notable enough for sucha treatment by wikipedia. youngamerican (talk) 22:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  - I also agree. The other three main characters are all notable enough to have their own articles. Essexmutant 15:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep have added a link to author RatherConfused 12:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hutt River Province Principality

A micronation. Which means: vanity, or a single-person political protest (usually about tax). Maybe one of the more notable ones, maybe not: a lot of it looks rather spurious to me. Anyway, let's have a review. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 23:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: This nomination is some sort of a joke, right ? --Centauri 00:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep This one is one of the more notable ones. It's very famous in Australia and even gets a mention in 'Lonely Planet', the travel guide. --kingboyk 00:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep Notable micronation. --Billpg 00:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Speedy keep. I'm going to vote delete on some of these other MNs and think it is good to review the crap from the useful, but this one is well-referenced in almanacs, travel guides, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, and other sources as an example of a micronation (right along with Sealand) and could be a well-sourced article. I could probably recite a good bit of the facts about this one off of the top of my head, and I know relatively little about all things antipodian. youngamerican (talk) 00:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Keep After Sealand, clearly the second most credible aspirant micronation, regardless of how you feel about micronations in general. Third victim page in anti-micronational AFD rampage. Georgewilliamherbert 00:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Seems like this might be an example of how a topic with ~500 Google hits can be more notable than it seems. Adrian Lamo · 01:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Google is a long way from being a comprehensive reference source on anything, and is of almost no use at all in determining the "notability" of historic subjects recorded largely in paper documents (ie anything before the 1990s) - although I know how difficult it is for most people under the age of 30 to come to grips with such a crazy notion. --Centauri 01:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep (not speedy unless Guy withdraws the nom). Yes, this is well-known. Googling for just "Hutt River Province" will get a lot more hits, btw. —rodii 01:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep per kingboyk. Arbustoo 02:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Possibly rename to Hutt River Province which it is better known as. Over 39,000 Google hits [60] including this ABC Television Australia interview with Prince Leonard. [61].

A Google Book search comes up with 10 entries [62]. Capitalistroadster 02:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Odd but very well known over a long period. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bduke (talk • contribs) 22:58, 3 February 2006
Keep - Notability seems quite well established, government tourist guides make mention of it and it has received writeups in mainstream press. I think if kept the main article should be Hutt River Province with Hutt River Province Principality being a redirect. I plan to suggest delete on some other micronations but not this one. ++Lar: t/c 05:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

An alleged micronation but the site barely Googles (12 hits) and has zero Alexa, the name itself gets around 120 unique Googles not al of which are obviusly relevant. I call cruft. Kept here. I'm seriously unconvinced. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 00:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep Per GWH and to counter possible systemic anti-LGBT bias on WP Ruby 01:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Can I trouble you to cite some examples of possible systemic anti-LGBT bias on Wikipedia? I'm not being sarcastic; I'm genuinely curious where that's coming from. Adrian Lamo · 01:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe a possible example of possible systemic anti-LGBT bias on WP can be found here Ruby 01:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Replying on your talkpage to avoid discussion sprawl :) Adrian Lamo · 01:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Obvious keep based on international press coverage, if nothing else. This article has now been nominated for deletion 3 times. The most recent attempt was barely 1 month ago. This constitutes an obvious misleading, bad-faith nomination, and might also be construed as constituting a systemic anti-LGBT bias. --Centauri 01:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm shocked at the lengths some people will go to argue a point. --kingboyk 01:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

JzG made a plausible case for deletion. Obviously, consensus doesn't support it, but that falls way short of bad faith. I'm also confused as to how this is the third nomination; it says "second" in the URL. And your link goes to an AfD six months ago. I'd appreciate elucidation :) Adrian Lamo · 01:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: It's a valid point, and the case for deletion was deliberately misrepresented. I'm shocked at the lengths some people will go to to claim neutrality while obviously consipiring to go on a highly-charged AFD rampage, as part of what seems to be some sort of wider vendetta. Perhaps you should show me where the record of the first failed deletion nomination was, seeing as you seem to know all about the fact that it was 6 months ago. As you well know, my link points to the second nomination, in January 2006, which is a good deal less than 6 months ago. --Centauri 01:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about anyone else, but I got left out of the conspiracy steering committee. I would appreciate clarification on your statement though -- I'm willing to entertain that I missed an AfD somehow, but as someone who's alleging misdirection, it behooves you to clarify the two points I raised :) Adrian Lamo · 01:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Suggest you go and look at my link, and then compare it with the link you were looking at from 6 months ago. --Centauri 02:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you're right. The January one was seemingly for "Gay and lesbian kingdom" by name, and was a package deal that also included this article. See? Simple confusion on my part caused by article names. As I indicated I was willing to consider, there was nothing sinister in your actions -- doesn't it follow that an AfD can happen on this without an agenda or conspiracy? :) Adrian Lamo · 02:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

We were both wrong this is actually the FOURTH nomination. Your January one would be number 1, this was number 2, January 06 was 3 and we're currently in the midst of 4. Of course there's no conspiracy. It's merely a coincidence that a rash of micronation AFDs happened today. --Centauri 02:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it's more likely that an editor found a bunch of micronation articles, felt that they weren't notable, and tossed 'em to the community for consensus :) Adrian Lamo · 02:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Poor fool. Didn't anyone tell him that he could achieve his death wish under far more pleasant circumstances in a pit full of hungry crocodiles? --Centauri 02:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

There is as yet no Wikipedia:Pit Full of Hungry Crocodiles guideline page. Perhaps you should create one, so we could give that link to ambitious newcomers to the micronation topic. Barno 03:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Rectified! Georgewilliamherbert 04:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

If a suitable home can be found for it (an article about the very vocal and active gay rights movement in Aus, gotta be one somewhere?!) Merge per youngamerican. Otherwise Weak Keep per Ruby. --kingboyk 01:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- An alternative merge destination I could support would be to a page on Australian micronations, which would contain an overview of the movement and the merged-in content of some of the lesser 'micronations', including this one. (Idea of Centauri discussed on User talk:Lar) --kingboyk 03:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Centauri. --Ardenn 01:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, per precedent, and lack of compelling guidelines on notability of micronations. Adrian Lamo · 02:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment I sense a large groundswell of enthusiasm for developing and documenting such a standard notability guideline... Georgewilliamherbert 02:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll put it on my to-do for when I'm starting to feel like I need more stress in my life. That'll be next week, I think :) Adrian Lamo · 03:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

This is probably redundant advice, but I recommend starting a thread on Talk:Micronation when you do, so that it's noticed by likely interested parties. Georgewilliamherbert 03:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion :) Adrian Lamo ·· 04:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Coral Sea Islands Territory which is in fact an official Territory of Australia. For example the CIA factbook lists it is a territory. [63]. This is a political stunt by gay activists who don't actually live there. Capitalistroadster 03:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
KEEP This article was nominated for deletion on 010106. The result of the discussion was no consensus. WOWFM

Comment: My thanks to all the above for informing me of my real motives, I thought I was just trying to clear up some cruft (having reviewed, Googled and left most fo the micronations in the category). Seems I was deluding myself and I am in fact a rampant deletionist with an agenda against micronations. I wish I'd known that, I'd have nominated the lot and saved the time spent researching. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 09:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll somehow make up that lost 30 seconds. --Centauri 09:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's a useful comment. I have found JzG to be a very thoughtful and hardworking contributor. He may tend to be a bit more deletionist than I am, but his nominations are always done in good faith (to assume otherwise is to in itself act in bad faith, in my view) and are worthy of serious consideration, because he does not make them lightly, IMHO. Deleting truly bad articles is part of what makes Wikipedia better, even hardcore inclusionists like myself know that. (I already suggested keep on this one, after all) I believe this opinion of JzG and his actions is not just mine, because he recently was made an admin with over 100 supporting voices and little dissent. Sometimes his comebacks may be a bit acerbic if you bait him, but I expect he's a bit frustrated at how people have piled on him and User:kingboyk about the spate of nominations. Remember, people nominate things as they become aware of them, so there need not be a nefarious plot here, merely a raising in awareness. JzG reviewed the category and a number of related articles to thus get nominated. Perfectly natural, and quite useful, IMHO. Hope that helps. ++Lar: t/c 16:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the benefits of being bold, but an editor who slaps an AFD on an article without even bothering to glance at the talk page is not acting responsibly in my opinion. If he had he would have seen the failed AFD from barely a month ago, and saved us all hours of wasted time and effort.--Centauri 16:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Again, I'd ask you to WP:AGF, as I am assuming you don't know that's what he did, you're apparently just assuming it. Although the admonition to check talk pages for signs of previous deletions is a good piece of advice, articles can and do get renominated, and it's entirely appropriate that they do, IMHO. 4 times may be a bit much, but the previous cites of that were confuddled, it looked like only one previous one. ++Lar: t/c 17:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

As for my contributions, I would like to point out that I have voted a weak keep on this one, I voted keep on Hutt River Province, and I advised JzG to withdraw the nomination, which he did. Thanks Lar for the helpful commentary. --kingboyk 21:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Sigh. As one of the "conspirators" I really ought to have voted delete. Shame on me. --kingboyk 23:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete, being mentioned several times in media eager for sensations doesn't establish encyclopedical notability. Pavel Vozenilek 22:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Then why have similar articles in the encyclopedia such as the Conch Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conch_Republic The only difference between it and the Kingdom is the Rebublic is str8 and the Kingdom is gay. Why has the Conch Republic not come up for deletion 4 times in the last 12 months? 12.09 Someonenotfamous

If this wasn't a gay issue I would have voted delete, and I suspect for others it's the same. So, rather than there being an anti LGBT conspiracy I suspect rather the opposite. You are of course free to nominate that other article for deletion but it seems to have become an annual festival. I suspect it has notability as a festival and not as a 'micronation', but I might be wrong. --kingboyk 02:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep as it just came off of an AfD on January 5, 2006. I'm assuming good faith on the nominator's part however, as it was bundled up with another article's AfD (which can, as seen here, be a really bad idea). Turnstep 18:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
