Austin 00:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)SirAus Sorry, but I beleive it entirely depends on what one defines by non-notable. This group is one of the most widely known reenacting groups in Virginia. I'm new here, so I don't really understand the criteria for deletion or non-deletion. Is it because this group isn't known outside of the reenacting arena or what?

Delete as non-notable biography. Why doesn't it qualify for speedy? I don't see any assertions of importance in this article about a group of people. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-10 00:48Z

Delete, no independent sources on which to base an article. Apart from their own websites, found nothing on Google but directory entries, listing in a local paper (which confirms their existence but nothing else), and the blog of someone who joined them.

[edit] Yuriko Yamaguchi (sculptor)

Was tagged for speedy deletion by User:Johndarrington as nn-bio, but it's an artist. Also the original author was User:Petaholmes, an administrator. Brought to AfD instead. howch e ng {chat} 01:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

~~Delete~~ I don't see how being an artist automatically makes a person notable. Neither do I understand why created by an administrator is relevant. jmd 01:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Being an artist is not itself notability, but it is a claim to notability, which is all that is required to prevent being a speedy delete. And the fact that it was created by an administrator is relevant because we can assume that user has a grasp of the policies which apply here, although that doesn't trump a consensus we find here. (ESkog)^(Talk) 02:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - I refute your statement that being an artist equates to a "claim to notibility" --- at least notable enough for a wp article. There's an artist in all of us --- it's just that some are more artistic than others. Or perhaps you mean that it must be a paid artist, in which case a) you're discriminating against some very talented (and notable) unpaid amatuer artists; and b) why can't this apply to other jobs (doctors, laywers, butchers, dustmen ....) ? If the article said that "YY is a notable sculptor", then that would be different, but the article doesn't say this. jmd
    - I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying that Yamaguchi is necessarily notable. However, speedy criterion A7 requires that there be no claim to notability at all. (ESkog)^(Talk) 07:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
      - Exactly. As deletion is supposed to be a serious matter, I'm pretty strict with the application of the speedy criteria. A7 is supposed to be limited to those with no claim of notability whatsoever, "Joe Schmoe lives in New York City and drinks lots of beer," for example. howch e ng {chat} 16:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
        
        Now that this article has been expanded, I'm withdrawing my deletion vote. But I'd like to point out that when I listed this article, there was indeed no claim of notability whatsoever. The article listed the person's name, occupation and education --- nothing else. What if your hypothetical article said "Joe Schmoe attended New York University, works for as a town planner for the City Council and likes to drink beer," would that have made it notable? jmd
Keep and expand. Seems clearly notable, even if the article doesn't show that yet. u p p l a n d 01:34, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Why do you say notability is "clear"? What makes it clear to you? jmd
  - Based on a Google search and looking through a selection of the hits, showing her being exhibited at major museums. u p p l a n d 08:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep. This artist is definitely notable -- even a Google search makes that clear. N Shar 02:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC) Weak delete: doesn't seem quite notable enough after comparison with standards for bands, etc.
- But the article doesn't assert that. Therefore it's a valid speedy candidate. If this person is indeed notable, then the article should be expanded, giving reasons for notability. Otherwise it should be deleted. jmd
~~Delete~~ [This] google search result just doesn't scream out notability unless I am missing something, in which case let me know and I am happy to change my vote. Eusebeus 02:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Changing vote to Keep - this is hardly an artist of much note, and the padded CV posted by Pburka contains a lot of shows of largely indecipherable notbaility, but her inclusion in a few galleries of note means she meets the threshold for inclusion. Eusebeus 18:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- After looking through about 10 pages of Google hits I have decided that her notability is not quite high enough to warrant inclusion, so I have changed my vote. However, I do think that to say immdeiately "nn" is to ignore the full story. Also note that if this Yuriko Yamaguchi is not notable enough for inclusion, the other one probably is not either. N Shar 02:52, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - Please note that I didn't say "this person is not notable". I said this "is an article about a real person or persons that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject". There is a difference. jmd
Keep and expand. http://www.koplindelrio.com/yamaguchi/yamaguchires.html provides an impressive list of exhibitions. Pburka 03:08, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep based on references from Pburka. -- JJay 04:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep in light of Pburka's list. Impressive is right. ×Meegs 06:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Are you basing this impression on quality or quantity? I'm not an artist of any sort, so I can't comment on the prestige of these various awards, or the reputability of the awarding institutions. But my own CV is equally as long, so does that qualify me for a wp bio? jmd
  - I'm not familiar with most of these galleries, no, but 30 solo exhibitions throughout the US (plus a few in Japan) is, to me, exceedingly notable. ×Meegs 07:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. JMD, if your résumé is as impressive as this, you qualify for a biography on Wikipedia in my book. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep as per above Jcuk 08:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: This is not the run-of-the-mill teenage vanity article, a few seconds of googling indicates some notability, and it is an article created in good faith by an established user. As I have repeatedly pointed out in the discussions on academics, I also think we need to ask: is this person really less notable than the least notable professional baseball or hockey player who would be included according to our current notability criteria? Is an artist who is represented in several public museum collections, has had numerous exhibitions at both museums and private galleries (who presumably expect either some income from sales or to enhance their own prestige by exhibiting a certain artist), and has had a large number of articles or reviews written about her or her work in major newspapers and art publications really less notable than some 22-year old who has just played hockey in the NHL for a year? u p p l a n d 08:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- This is indeed an interesting topic for discussion. The crux is, that notable is not the same as noteworthy. For example, Martin Bryant is certainly more notable than (say) Frits Zernike, but IMHO less noteworthy. I would certainly agree that the huge majority of sports personalities are totally unworthy of any special notice (what's so clever about kicking a ball around?) but that's just my POV. That fact remains that the world has and does take notice of many of these persons who have not managed to outgrow their teenage infatuations (or have found a way to make money from them), and are therefore by definition notable. I'm not saying that this isn't a very sad inditement on society, but that's just my POV. jmd

[edit] Aviara, California

(Since I nominated this article, I abstain). Consider deleting this article about a neighborhood in Carlsbad, California. Essentially, it contains the exact same information that the Carlsbad article has about the neighborhood, except for two sentences about its latitude and longitude coordinates and what public schools are available. Further, both pieces of information can easily be added to the Carlsbad article, like this: — Seven Days » talk 01:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps move to Aviara, Carlsbad, and redirect that to Carlsbad, California? Seems convoluted I realize, but the former is (as far as I know) the correct naming format for a US neighborhood article, and since this a verifiable neighborhood, I see no need to delete it. If it can't be expanded into a useful article right now though, sure, redirect... but it's a useful redirect and could easilly be expanded someday. --W.marsh 01:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, if this really is a census-designated place, shouldn't it be kept as a seperate article? That's what the overwhelming precedent is for CDPs. From the Louisville article though, I realize census designations can be very confusing! --W.marsh 01:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - Actually, it isn't. Go to American Factfinder and submit a quary for Aviara, California on the main page. There are no results. I don't know who came up with the 1.6 km² area, but in any case, it seemed reasonable enough for me to add it to the main Carlsbad article (without the false claim that it was a CDP). Good luck on your law studies/profession. — Seven Days » talk 01:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
    - Then I stand by my initial recommendation... delete this but perhaps a properly named redirect would be useful. Thanks. --W.marsh 02:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep The owners seem to be notable riders in the BMX scene, particularly Taj Mihelich, with outlets such as ESPN noting that "Taj Mihelich isn't a name many people outside of the BMX world know. But if you ask most serious riders who has most influenced them (and BMX in general) the past few years, Taj's name would be near the top of every list". If they are designing (and riding) their own frames, that's got to be notable too. A recent Terrible One video apparently featured some of "BMX's most influential and legendary riders". The company, and their key product, the Barcode, seem to have a good reputation. I think we need to be careful when looking at notability within niche markets, and I don't think we should be discounting niche products solely on the basis of the amount of web hits they get. The content of some of those hits suggests to me that this subject is notable within that field, and I think it would be a shame to lose one of the few articles we have in this area. The article should, incidentally, be moved to Terrible One if it survives this AfD. - N (talk) 23:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep not a neologism, I have heard this term many times in real life, it just isn't oft-used online. Certainly the article needs some work, but we aren't discussing the content, we are discussing the topic. -Greg Asche (talk) 03:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep. Very well known concept that has been around for years, or at least since the 1970s. Widely used in print as attested by many sources. Examples can be seen here [2]. -- JJay 04:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. I question the Amazon search results as the basis to Keep this article. The results show how many times a word was used anywhere in any of the hundreds of thousands (or is it millions?) of quotes from books listed on Amazon. Just because a word is used in a book, or 30 books, does not make it notable. Second, regarding the claim that it has been "very well known" since the 1970s, again I disagree. People can, and often do write about the 1970s using terms from the current era. It's necessary to see the entire context. Crunch 13:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - The results are impressive because most books are not full-text searchable through Amazon and the feature is generally only available for the most recent books. Hence, books from the 90s and earlier are not going to produce many hits and, in any case, are frequently out of print. Regarding the dating of the term, I’ve found the concept, i.e. “the Jewish afro” going back to 1970. -- JJay 14:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - The Amazon search also doesn't differentiate among words used in dialogue and in other ways. All kinds of non-sensical, slang and odd words are used in dialoge. I think it's important to understand the context and not just focus on the raw numbers. Crunch 16:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm a bit conflicted about this one, but I see no way to keep it. A list of states considered "independent" is surely POV; not to mention that the title will change when one nation's status changes.

[edit] Fascism (United States)

Possibly the ugliest article on Wikipedia. There is literally more room taken up by disclaimer templates than by the actual article. The article itself doesn't consist of much more than a note stating that some people have used fascism as a pejorative political epithet, and is redundant with other articles. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 03:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a question, do the results in your link really mean anything? The word pangender doesn't seem to be present in the pages for the books in your search, and a normal search for pangender reveals nothing [8], you have to turn on some additional search option to get your results, with that option I was able to get results for words I made up on the fly like quasimetal, ultrahyper and metagendered. --W.marsh 05:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The link is working fine for me. The word is used in those six books. Quasimetal and metagendered as well, so someone beat you to the punch.-- JJay 06:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You've looked in all 6 books and found the word? For all 3 examples I gave, and the word "pangender", a normal result yields nothing, and you have to turn on the "additional results" which seems to just look for root words. --W.marsh 06:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The results are automatically displayed with the excerpt and page numbers. -- JJay 06:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I just saw that, I didn't realize Amazon did that. Sorry for the confusion --W.marsh 06:08, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

There are a bit more with "pangendered". Note this only works with books that have full-text search activated (i.e. a small sub-set of all books). -- JJay 06:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. This term has been used in newspaper articles and is widely used in the queer community and in student/university political organisations. Its a term that is more widely known and has been in usage longer than homoflexible for example. Would vote to keep.Mittens.the.kitten, 03:59, 10 January 2006

I am not trying to come off as inconsiderate here, but this word is pretty much a textbook neologism (see my above link). If this word can be found used meaningfully in newspaper articles or books, rather than just alluded to, that's a start. I'm willing to help here... but the sparse Google coverage still makes me think this is a neologism not very widely used at all. --W.marsh 05:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Keep. I myself am pangender, and it is a common enough term to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.6.28 (talk • contribs)
Seems notable enough for a neologism. Merge to pansexuality. While the leading sentence of Pangender talks about the difference between the word 'sex' refering to anatomy versus gender identity, the Pansexuality article is clearly talking about gender identity (not someone with all anatomies :) - so they're talking about the same thing. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-10 06:18Z
- Also, the second paragraph is self-contradictory:
  
  Pangender is a term for people who feel that they cannot be labeled as female or male in gender. ... The term is meant by the queer community to be one that is inclusive and means "all genders".
The last sentence would imply pangender includes traditional males and females, while the first does not. So make up your mind and add citations. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-10 06:18Z

Looks like Quarl is right and a merge would be a good solution. -- JJay 06:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I was impressed with the amazon links at first. Then I noticed that in each of the four books, the word "pangender" appeared only once. So I decided to try the first few obscure words that pooped into my head: cthonic appears in 50 books, gubernatrix in 31, zoanthropy in 28, and phylactery in 2,505. Umm, maybe that one is only obscure to me... regardless, this combined with the low strike rate in the nomination and no news mean neologism to me, so I recomend that we delete this article. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 10:13, 10 January 2006

- Thank you... and even then, just because a word exists somewhere... I've seen nothing compelling with respect to Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms.

[edit] Metal music

Delete - This page was created on the assumption that no overarching page existed for metal music as a whole, when one already does: Heavy metal music. Consequently the metal music page is highly redundant, not only repeating information from the Heavy metal music page, but also from the list of metal genres. Also, Metal music is of an inferior quality (for which it has been tagged) and is filled with POV statements. In comparison, the heavy metal music page has been a featured article and properly referenced. Current attempts to edit both pages in accordance with opinions that "heavy metal" is no longer widely used to describe the genre as a whole have not yet been adequately argued with sources and also threaten to dillute the quality of the heavy metal music page. Thus I suggest either a full deletion of the page or a merger with Heavy metal music WesleyDodds 04:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I created that page because nowadays there is a distinction about Metal, which is an umbrella term to define all Metal music, and the genre Heavy Metal, that today is referred to that particular type of Metal music played in the late '70 by bands like Black Sabbath and so on. My intentions was not to feature POV statements, but to give the best definition about the Metal style of music and about what makes Metal as we know. The Heavy Metal page feature a lot of information about history of Metal and so on, but lacks of a true definition on what is Metal music, what renders Metal a song. --Olpus 02:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The "Characteristics" section on Heavy metal music defines the sound. WesleyDodds 08:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

If defines Heavy Metal, not all metal. Symphonic Metal, Nu Metal, Power Metal - these are hardly 'dark'. Nu Metal is hardly guitar driven, nor is symphonic metal. It describes Heavy Metal, that is all. Leyasu 09:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

If you disagree with it, edit it in order to make it of better quality. But heavy metal music is intended to and is constructed in its present form to address all forms of metal as a whole. The problem with the Metal music page is that (as Oplus stated) is he wanted to indictate a difference between the usage of "heavy metal" and "metal" but he did it from the wrong avenue. While some may use "heavy metal" to talk about a particular subgenre of metal, the article itself does not function that way; consequently the articles continue to addresses the same topic because they address the same purpose, regardless of title. I can understand the desire to separate the form as a whole and what some now view as a distinct subgenre (which is still debatable, mind you, but not really the issue here). But the current approach does not address those issues. If anything, an article for heavy metal as a subgenre should have been created, and there should have been a discussion about renaming the main article, not the creation of another overrarching "metal music" page. The entire approach to the issue is backwards. WesleyDodds 09:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Its not been the best or easiest way to do things, agreed. But waste not want not. Whats done is done, and going even further backwards isnt worth it. What we have, is all the things we need, mixed and matched in different articles. Deleting this, deletes one of the needed parts. What im doing at the minute, is sumerrising in my own head, the best way forward in getting the following objectives done:

An article that lists all the metal genres and references, plus history of metal as a whole.

An comphrensive and factual article on Heavy Metal and its place as both a genre and originator of the metal basis, something similar to Rock n Roll's article i would presume.

Sorting out the articles as to not lose content, and merge the correct parts of each article with each other, keeping the articles seperate, and removing the overlap.

Im sure i was clear in intention there. Leyasu 10:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

It's still not the best way to do things, since an article already existed to serve the purpose you are trying to achieve. If anything, edit that article. Doing it this way, creating two articles that cover the same subject (just with different titles) and possibly later altering the older article (given the outline above you provided) -- which has been a Featured Article, has been peer reviewed, and is properly referenced to reduce any POV that might be associated with the subject -- in order to narrow its scope is deconstructing the hard work of others who have been working on the Heavy metal music page long before any of us came anywhere near it.

The Wiki Category for the music form is "heavy metal". The heading on the genre template before it was altered was a link to Heavy metal music. Most references on WIkipedia when referring to the umbrella term link to Heavy metal music. This is an inefficient way of accomplishing these goals, and it's wasting a lot of time that could be used more effectively in regards to these pages.

Seriously, it would still be easier to just rename Heavy metal music or have Metal music redirect to it. WesleyDodds 11:31, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Featured article or not, it is mostly wrong. A lot of it, is wrong. Sorting out the metal music page, and then merging the two would be good. Merging Heavy Metal into this page, saves the effort of renaming.

An article also designed to fit the bill, doesnt mean it does. Many times something is reviwed as good, when in fact, it is not good. Yes, the article is well written. Yes, it does about explaining 'some' things well. Problem: Its outdated, wrong, and doesnt fullfill its purpose.

Later on today, or tomorrow, when im in a better frame of mind, i shall merge the Heavy Metal article's accurate parts into the Metal Music article. Then, i will set out on the process of making the Heavy Metal article better.

If you want to improve it, then help me do what needs doing, instead of critiszing my methods. If your not going to help, then dont critisize my way of doing things. Leyasu 14:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

"Mostly wrong" by whose measure? I can look up all the books listed on the heavy metal music page and fact-check anything I need to. And they use Heavy Metal as an overarching term. Even if information is factually incorrect, it is still citable in order to reference conflicting viewpoints (which is what history is all about in the first place). If you are going to debate accuracy, you need to reference sources for a counter-argument! We really can't rely simply on your POV for reference. It may be right, but we need to be able to check that you are right. WesleyDodds 12:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Fine when i have more time instead of borrowed scraps of time, i will go find a bunch of websites. The problem is, a bunch of books written by people with no affiliation to something, doesnt make it right, it makes it a bunch of books that are complete crap. I will get you the websites, as and when i have the time. Leyasu 12:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

"The problem is, a bunch of books written by people with no affiliation to something, doesnt make it right, it makes it a bunch of books that are complete crap."

What do you base that on? Do you know anything about these authors? Ian Christe, for one, certainly comes from the metal culture. Additionally, a degree of critical distance is useful when studying subjects. Sure being in the thick of it all can lead one closer to "the truth", but there is always the potential for personal bias. An outsider's viewpoint helps to put an insiders' viewpoint of "the truth" into a greater critical context. You must factor in to you criticism that just because a number of members in a community hold a tenant as truth does not necessarily make it true.

Rewrite per consensus reached on talk page (per Layasu). Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 23:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I will at this point make clear that a consensus was reached on the issue, that the page should be Heavy Metal Music should be about the genre of Heavy Metal, and Metal Music, which is used to mean all the genres of Metal Music, should be rewritten. As Wikipedia works on consensus, and the article is being revised, isnt deleting it because your argument was over thrown by consesnus a bit, childish? Leyasu 09:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The issue is still being actively debated on both the Heavy metal music and Metal music talk pages, thus no consensus has been reached. WesleyDodds 09:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

A consenses WAS reached. One that you didnt agree with mind you, one that was reached before you asked for AFD. The consensus to Merge the Heavy Metal articles contents into the Metal Music page, after revising the Metal Music's content and formatting, to make the merger easier. Asking for AFD when experts on the subject have reached consensus is undermining the consensus, because you dont agree with it.

On that note, i ask for this AFD to be cut or postponed, until the merger outcome is seen, as a consensus was already reached on the issue, and this AFD is a blatant attempt at getting ones own way, through underhand means. Leyasu 10:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree this is pointless, as both pages contain good information, whether they merge or stay seperate I do not care though, but it is pointless to even think about deleation until all sides of the argument agree, Ley do you need any help on the rewrite? I have organised some of the stuff yesterday with the true metal, and subgenre metal page merge. Is there anything you would like me to help you on, as I do not want to make any futher changes, unless they are lost during your rewrite. NykylaiHellray 1:19PM 10 Jan 2006

I have the rewrite in a text document. Im doing it as a step by step, as im doing Nu Metal. Its in about 4 different documents actually, as i need to keep juggling things about so they are in subsequent order, and in the right place, as well as rewrite a lot of parts. When i post the revision, copyediting it would be dandy, as what i see as NPOV, not all people agree on. Leyasu 14:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite this article adding information on what makes a song a Metal song, the tecnique of playing Metal and other tecnical information: an expert is needed too. The Metal Page is also useful to list some music that are part of Metal by name, as Nu Metal, Industrial Metal and others, but aren't considered legitimate sons of Heavy Metal by many. --Olpus 02:54, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Merge - No consensus was reached as per the Talk pages. This claim is based in what evidence? I´ve proposed the merge of Metal into Heavy Metal. Many people agreed with me. The majority. Some people think it should be the other way around: Merge Heavy Metal into Metal. The Heavy Metal article was started before many of us even registered to wikipedia, it was meant to be the article describing the music we call Heavy Metal or simply Metal in general. It do not try to explain every and each subgenre of (heavy) metal, one of it is "Heavy Metal" (as a strict term meaning the bands that started this musical style). Heavy Metal has a dual meaning, one of them a synonym to Metal. This article was a featured article on wikipedia and is considered a high quality article as such. It is a shame trying to enforce this difference of Metal and Heavy Metal by destroying the hard-work spent by fellow wikipedians on the Heavy Metal articl just because some people think this difference is worth this debate! Loudenvier 13:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Its not anyone trying to force a difference when the difference has existed almost a decade. Hence such terms as Metalhead, Metal Bands, Metal Music, Metalfests - If, by your reconing, it would beHeavy Metalhead, Heavy Metal Bands, Heavy Metal Music and Heavy Metalfests.

Again, by that defination, we would have such things as Punk Rock N Roll, Gothic Rock N Roll, Alternative Rock N Roll, Death Rock N Roll, so on, so forth.

The usage of it was the same as Rock N Roll, and its no longer a double meaning. Yes, people with little knowledge of the metal scene, commonly refer to it as Heavy Metal sometimes, depending on generation. Most people however, call it Metal. The same as most people who arent big on it, use 'Rarrgghhh' as an insult to music with distorted vocals, regardless of genre.

That is the way things are. Heavy Metal Music = Heavy Metal. The same as Rock N Roll Music = Rock N Roll. Not all forms of metal are Heavy Metal, mainly because they lack core features of Heavy Metal, which, if you read the article, is explained. Also, ive seen featured articles, that get considered featured, when they have little to no accuracy about them. Remember, that the FA council, normally has little to no knowledge of the subject of an article, and reads it in the same way as i write, in the form of someone who knows nothing about the subject matter.

An article being well written, doesnt mean its factual, accurate or correct. Using FA as a veil to hide behind doesnt work, not with someone who will quite happily point out the flaws in the veil.

I dont wish to keep arguing this, and yes a merger is taking place. The talk page is currently discussing 'how' to do it, in a manner that suits 'all' the editors of the page. So instead of going 'this needs doing, that needs doing, and the other needs doing', how about doing something constructive towards helping the discussion of how we go about it to achieve the best results, without losing information, factual accuracy, or prose. Leyasu 15:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep because I agree with Leyasu that heavy metal is a subgenre of metal, which encompasses much more than heavy metal, such as symphonic metal, nu metal, and power metal. I can understand the viewpoint that the article on heavy metal music includes information not really appropriate for the article if taken as a subgenre, however this does not support an argument to delete metal music; instead, this just shows that there is work to be done. --Qirex 09:57, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I dont read magazines, dont have a video player, and dont buy anything other than books by Graham Masterson and Shaun Hutson. Yes, what you said is true. But again, experts in the subject are normally right, even when biased.

For instance, a group of outsiders to rocket science could tell several rocket scientists that they are wrong about how to build a rocket. The rocket scientists devoloped how to builed a rocket, have built rockets, and studied the subject intensely. They are bound to be correct.

Its worth mentioning that some people still refer to Metal as Heavy Metal music, sure, i wouldnt say it was foolish to point that out, but it is now Metal Music. Thats what it is. NPOV records all POV, yes. But it also lends to fact being the way things are, and then alternative POV on things, such as the smaller group that still calls things by its old name.

*Delete . I don't think this article has useful purpose. Wikipedia should strive to remain an encyclopedia on par with other well-known references. Putting up an entry to serve as a portal amounts to turning Wikipedia into a directed google search. I would be inclined to keep this article if there were some educational merit to the content, but currently it reads as an advertisement for another website. What's next, an article for cheaptickets.com extolling it as place for bargain airline fares? While I'm sure The White Rose Society website serves a large user base that enjoys what is has to offer, I don't think that neccesitates a need for an entry. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your favorite website. Also, currently DU has been called on to "DU" this site so expect to be flooded with keeps. I mean, the fact a message board close to The White Rose Society has been called upon to slant this discussion... recommend to lock. -m00

Delete M00 does that help?
- User's only two edits are to this page. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The above user neglects to mention a similar campaign to urge the deletion of the entry, originating from a website ideologically opposed to DU, and his self-confessed role in it. So, all's fair, eh? WPWiles 19:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Lets talk about this on the dicussion page. I am a huge supporter of Wikipedia. I have nothing against The White Rose Society Website, I just see the article as adverstisement and wikispam/wikiclutter. -m00

I agree it's a marginal case for retention, but I think the thing that swings it into the "keep" column is the fact that it is an archive, a resource, rather than simply a soapbox that endlessly editorialises. Although liberals might find its content more palatable, the site is potentially useful to everyone with an interest in politics or broacasting, as would a similar conservative site. WPWiles 20:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I agree the White Rose Society Website might be useful to people interested in politics. But there are plenty of useful resources out there on the web -- does Wiki really need to link them all? I mean, could you explain why the Wiki entry is useful, as it merely links the site? I look at it like this: anyone interested in The White Rose Society website already knows it exists and can easily find it. If someone were to search Wiki for it "The White Rose Society Website" they'd come up with an article that links to thate site. So who exactly is that article for? -m00

The poor quality of the wiki entry is an argument for improving the wiki entry, not deleting it. I think that this entry, Ben Burch's own entry, and several other entries in the same "genre" such as those for DU, CU and William Rivers Pitt, are very inadequate, probably as a result of coordinated edit campaigns by both sides. WPWiles 20:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, then write some useful content! As it stands, the entry is totally useless, and adds absolutely zero to Wikipedia. It's just a link. If someone wants to add content where I could see a case that the article might possibly be of use to someone, I'll change my vote. And you are correct these topics end up being biased due to edit wars. Maybe we need to merge CU, DU, Will Pitt, and everything that's basically two warring Internet factions into a single article called "political activism on the Internet." I'd be for that, since I agree this is getting out of hand! -m00

m00 - Jackk only created the stub article for White Rose on the 2nd of this month, you know. How many other articles are fleshed out in so little time? And honestly, you can keep or delete this entry without that mattering to me or my website one iota, but this whole discussion reflects badly on the neutrality of Wikipedia, and I have had a teacher email to me say "see, this is why I will not allow students to use Wikipedia as a source!" And I sadly have to concur with her. BenBurch 00:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Impersonating Jimbo Wales is tacky. However, White Rose (and often me) get mentioned daily on; Head On with Bob Kincaid, The Thom Hartmann Show, The Moring Wakeup Call with Lizz Brown, and weekly on "All Things Reconsidered", "Fourth Estate Radio", "They Guy James Show", and "The Cup-o-Joe Radio Show", so at least a few hundred thousand people know who I am by now...

Actually, most of the deletes are because of the notability & the 181,810 page rank on Alexa. diff --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 19:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Just curious, LV, what do you think Alexa measures? I believe it measures mostly people stupid enough to allow their spyware toolbar onto their machine in the first place, and ignorant enough of Windows to not be able to remove it later. And it measures no Macintosh, Linux, BSD, or Web TV users whatsoever... Certainly it has never measured me. BenBurch 20:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and... You only need to visit the page ONCE to subscribe to a podcast... And even if Alexa measured you that one time, no further measurements will be taken of you even if you download 6 hours of shows every day. And many people do. BenBurch 21:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete low Alexa rank, fails WP:WEB, loads of sock/meatpuppets. Delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I do find it disappointing that some of the decisions here are being made due to personal political affiliations and motivations, and what really should be under observation is the article's merit as an encyclopedic entry. It is my impression that this website is an archive of other radio shows, so does that in itself make it noteworthy enough for an article in the Wikipedia? I, personally, think not. While many of the original radio programs were created by notable people, and featured on notable radio stations, I do not think an archive of those radio shows in itself makes a website notable. Regarding "website notability guidelines", yes, they are "just guidelines", but many Wikipedia users consider these guidelines useful for personally determining the notability of a website. Alexa gives the site a ranking of 181,810 [14]. Now, if articles were created for all of the websites that have higher rankings that the whiterosesociety.org, assuming they have not yet been created and using the article count as of now from the English Wikipedia (912,698), websites would take up nearly 20% of the Wikipedia. It should be noted that "the Wikipedia is not infinite", nor is it an Internet directory. Personally, I do not like how Alexa works, but for lack of a better ranking system, it is what we tend to use. Another way of establishing notability (at least for forum websites), is to check the number of forum users. Currently, the Democratic Underground has 82,820 registered users, which does make it notable in my eyes, and deserves its Wikipedia entry. (While not an entirely fair assessment since WRS is not primarily a forum community) the WRS society forum has 510 registered users (short of a generally accepted guideline of 5000 registered users). Please remember: deletion of the article does not mean the end of "the White Rose Society (website)". If the article is deleted, there is always the possibility that in the future the WRS will do something notable enough to warrant re-creation of the article and expansion. Now, if this website has made any other notable contributions to society, acheivements, or accomplishments, please say so and post related evidence, since everyone here still reserves the right to change their personal decsions at any time. Thanks for reading. — TheKMan^talk 21:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

KMan... My argument against Alexa is that is basically CANNOT measure a site such as White Rose. It can only measure a site that people visit to read the pages. Since White Rose has become primarily a podcasting site, and Alexa misses ALL of that traffic, it doesn't bear any resemblance to the traffic to the site at all! And trust me, I have looked at this before while attempting to work on the visibility of the site, and decided it was close to worthless. Basically, if a totally unscientific measurement is good enough for you, that is up to you, but expect much more difficulty with such things in the future if you continue to use the work of a spyware vendor as a means of assessing the importance of a multimedia web entity.

Correct, Alexa measures website traffic. Now, it is my understanding that the podcasting content that is archived on your website does not require a user to visit to your website, but this content was not actually created by the WRS. I am examining the notability of The White Rose Society (website), the website, not the notable content of others that it archives. Does the website make any notable contributions of its own? — TheKMan^talk 21:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, created? Yes, some of the material was created by broadcasters who were given program development grants by WRS, and all of it was recorded, compressed, and archived by WRS. This involves four dedicated recording machines, not an insignificant task. (You try to do it.) And obtaining the rights to provide this material to the Internet public was a major effort in some cases. Also, in the case of the Thom Hartmann program, I pay big bucks in royalty payments for sole Internet archiving rights to the material. Basically, is the publisher who publishes Steven King's novels notable? I am an Internet-age publishing house. BenBurch 22:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, I ran a LexisNexis search on "White Rose Society" and get one mention in the Anchorage Daily News for this particular WRS. Heck, even I've been mentioned one time in a newspaper of record. I just don't see it as being notable. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 21:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Honestly, though I believe this is an appropriate Wikipedia entry, I didn't create it, and I don't care what gets done with this; I think it is nice to be in Wiki and all, but I wouldn't have even questioned this except for the fact that the motivation of so many seems to be political, and that offends me. But, as others have pointed out, having a White Rose external link on the page for each of the show hosts would be the only advertising that would make any difference, anyway! Nobody is going to come here and type in White Rose Society (website) who did not already know that it existed! Besides, I foresee a constant barrage of vandalism...

[edit] List of Stalinists

The list as written currently violates WP:V and WP:CITE, and it is also an inherent violation of WP:NPOV. Who described these individuals as Stalinists? In some cases, they may have self-described, but many of them did not. Is everyone who was taken in by Stalinist propaganda in the 1930s and 1940s to be listed here?

Merge into Stalinism as a subsection titled Notable Stalinists.

Delete or merge into Stalinism] DTC makes a good point, but the problem is the way in which Stalinist as a label is itself a shifting, uncertain, and historically determinative one. For example, it is used disparagingly post-56 (Khrushchev Secret Speech) to justify purges (Beria was a Stalinist); for collective identification (47-53) in Eastern Europe as part of the Soviet bloc integration, as well as later on a contradistinction to Titoism; as a label for different splits within different communist movements as well as their leaders, each with their own post-56, pre-56, as well as *sigh* post-37, pre-37 significations (esp. France); as a badge of identity in the Spanish Civil War, both as a ready-made identity against anarchism and anarcho-socialism, as well as Trostkyism; as a label of attack both in 1956 and 1968 (Prague), and again in 1991 following the coup-attempt in Russia; and most recently in the last Russian elections, and I am sure I am missing a bunch of additional significances. So what, I ask, is a Stalinist? And who gets to decide which of these many options counts and which do not? Eusebeus 05:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

JamesMLane 07:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Either delete or redefine with clear criteria. Right now, the list excludes Lavrenty Beria, but includes H. Bruce Franklin. The former was Stalin's henchman; the latter has a complicated set of views about Stalin (he was my professor in college, I've heard him talk on great length on the topic) but does not call himself a Stalinist.

Keep.

Delete As DTC says, we have other unverifiable uncited POV lists, that doesn't mean we should keep this one. By personalising it as Stalinists rather than, say, Communists or Marxixts, this is simply an attack page. Also, it contains no actual ancyclopaedic content: there is no context regarding why each of the listed has been called a Stalinist, or indeed by whom (self-identification is not, after all a terribly reliable guide here), or how often, or in what media. Most of all, when the sixty contentious entries were removed, what was left was 17 more-or-less statist political leaders and a couple of hangers-on, one of whom repudiated the claim in later life. It's ridiculous! Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 19:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The list should be a bit longer now. I think most of the names still essentially fit as self-described.

Personally I'd think things like List of Japanese bondage models or the numerous ways to analyze Sci-Fi shows is more what makes the place look a bit trashy.

Keep I created this article. I didn't have time to finish it but I think your application of the notability guidelines is misdirected. WGLF is certainly notable within the field of policy debate as a truly groundbreaking project. They got at-large bids to the National Debate Tournament just telling jokes. The fact that they have mainstream media coverage (the CSTV documnetary) is also notable in my mind. Your qualms about the name are not reasons for deletion.

Mouse causes house fire

Wikipedia is not Wikinews. User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. As the article notes, the story may not have been as cute as it first sounded. And in any event it wouldn't even be notable one week from now. Daniel Case 05:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Save: This was a worldwide phenomenon and therefore deserves consideration. Newspapers as far as India, the UK, Germany, Australia, and more have covered this interesting event. Additionally, this article provides the truth that many do not know about the situation.
This page is much like Star Wars kid and the Numa Numa phenomenon. Though this one has not got as popular, it has gained a large audience and falls into the category of these different phenomenon. It is not news reporting and does not intend to be. Instead, it is there to provide information on the event for future viewers who may be interested. P-unit 05:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- This page is much like Star Wars kid and the Numa Numa phenomenon.. No, it isn't. Those were videos that continue to circulate and be downloaded online. This is a one-off news story which may not even be. There is no visual or online record of this. It is not an Internet phenomenon (Although, in that vein, why is there no Wedding Dress Guy? Getting the truth out about it is, at this point, not Wikipedia's job but Wikinews's. Daniel Case 06:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - Jennifer Wilbanks, the runnaway bride is covered. That is a specific news phenomenon. Though this situation is smaller, it is significant and takes up little space. Its size is proportional to is significance and this sort of reference is needed. I think it would be an asset to Wikipedia to include things like this mouse thing, the runnaway bride, and the Wedding Dress Guy you talk of. long as their articles do not become so long they overrepresent the topic, I think it is fine to keep them. These sorts of events are significant. P-unit 06:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Rationalise. As a matter of countering systemic bias, I would allow this institution as much space on Wikipedia as, say, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As to presentation, I would say the MIT article is too long and therefore STUT is allowed more than one article. As to copyvio's, see this message from the dean which makes it clear that they cannot be deleted as crude copyvio's - though re-writes for style-violation are probably needed. From a quick glance I would say most of the articles are more or less OK except Campus environment which should be speedily deletd. -- RHaworth 09:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- That argument doesn't appear to be relevant, given that Southern Taiwan University Of Technology is not up for deletion here, and that none of History of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Campus environment of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Multimedia and Entertainment Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Visual Communication, Massachusetts Institute of Technology College of Digital Design exist. Uncle G 10:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Agree withi Uncle G that picking the MIT article as a baseline for comparison seems irrelevant because it doesn't have the equivalent questionable ancillary articles. Secondly, why MIT and why not any of the other thousands of college or university articles? The fact that they're both "technology" schools is not a sufficient basis. Crunch 13:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  - I am a bit surprised at the above response. All I was saying was: Is this university entitled to an article? A - undoubtedly yes. How big is the article allowed to be? A - probably big enough to justify its being split into more than one article. Surely no one disagrees with that.

[edit] Morag Tong

A fictional secret society in a single XBox game. Well written but not very encyclopedic. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mages Guild. I vote delete. — JIP | Talk 11:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete content better off on dedicated fansites. Though I am myself a fan of the Elder Scrolls games & universe Wikipedia is not the place for this. The external link to til.gamingsource.net at Elder Scrolls do nicely. Please note, this is not only limited to an Xbox game, is from the ES universe. Scoo 11:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep, based partially on the precedent set by allowing a number of other articles relating to the same game series (see Morrowind). Fiction does not preclude an article's worthiness on Wikipedia, and the Elder Scrolls universe had a surprising depth to it, comparable to what one could find in a popular movie, television, or written fictional series. There are a number of articles on obscure parts of the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings universes, after all. Deadsalmon 12:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Could someone more knowledgeable than myself find if there's a ES Wiki for the article to be moved to in case of deletion? My limited knowledge of how the wikis work prevents me from figuring it out at the moment. Deadsalmon 12:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

~~Keep~~, Wikipedia covers plenty of fictional universes, including computer games (e.g. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and others) and this one is undoubtedly significant (it spans three games with another coming soon). The Morag Tong is in important part of it, with a detailed background that is interesting but too long to merge elsewhere. --Malthusian (talk) 14:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Support proposed merge into a new Guilds of Morrowind article (see nothing wrong with keeping, but seems to be little chance of that). --Malthusian (talk) 10:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
I usually agree with Malthusian, but in this case I am on the opposite side of the fence. I think this stuff should be sloughed off to fansites, and not choke up the resources here since this stuff is inherently unencyclopedic. If the Elder Scrolls article is too long to accommodate this, then it should be trimmed (I mean it IS just a video game) to allow this type of content to be domesticated.

The McLibel case is covered elsewhere and I don't think pig fat and the countries thing merit an article of their own.

Delete The verifiability policy puts the burden of proof on the contributor to cite sources. This article is so well-written I thought it might be a copyvio, but some key phrases don't Google as exact phrases. If everything in it were sourced, I'd vote "keep" on the grounds that I find it interesting and it's long enough to stand on its own as a separate article. Unfortunately, at present almost nothing in it is properly sourced or verifiable, so I see almost nothing in it to "salvage." Too bad, as the incidents in it ring true, are probably accurate, and would be worth keeping if sourced. Will change my vote if the article is greatly improved before expiration of AfD. I believe I'll go tag the unsourced statements. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep. JohnLeemk asked me to take another look. I think it's adequately sourced now; topic is borderline but article is now reasonably encyclopedic; and this would make a disproportionately large section if merged into McDonald's. 13:15, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Does lack of fame make a vanity article?

An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia. Borderline cases are frequently nominated for deletion and discussed on WP:AFD. Lack of fame is not the same as vanity. (OFFICAL WIKIPEDIA EXPLANATION)

There you have it! It is not vanity - just lack of fame!!!

[edit] Fullmoonchild

This band was marked for speedy deletion as a non-notable band, but the article's author makes an assertion of notability on the talk page (and there are a few assertions of possible notability in the article text), so I have moved it here to AFD. —Cleared as filed. 12:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I did some research on this last night, and they seem notable enough so that speedy delete is perhaps too harsh. However, IconDevelopment (the label they recently signed with) doesn't seem to be important enough to count as WP:MUSIC criteria, and they don't really meet any of the other requirements, unless they're popular enough to merit enough demand for an article. Snurks ^{T C} 21:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment - 'Icon Development' is starting up as a label/distributor/promoting agency, and does not have many noticeable bands in their "portfolio". That doesn't change the fact that the band is known in the "underground" Metal scene, and all over the world, especially in Europe.

We're striving to get more "successful" and I think our hard work will compensate in a few years. We hope that our new EP will help on making us more "notable". And again, if u compare FMC to Hand Fated (in their "website" no news since 2000), why r they more noticeable? Why does HF have a Wiki and FMC doesn't? It seems to me that it's not fair...And btw, Moonspell is great, I love them, but not the only Heavy Metal band in Portugal...

Tnx to Snurks for the support also. Cheers!

Comment - Ok, I agree we aren't that notable, but can someone explain to me where's the notability in the band Hand Fated? And they r at Wiki since April 2005...

So why their article is not purposed for delete also? I just wanna a fair chance and equal rights, if someone could explain why HF is more notable than FMC I would appreciate and repent (lol)... I've done my best to assert our notability, I realize it's not enough...I understand what u do here in Wiki, I honestly do understand that we r not notable enough to be in a Enciclopedia, but I found other band even less notable (IMO) than us...and seems no one cares about their "notability", and even I that live near the place were they (suposedly) play, never heard of them before...and I get around in music since 1993/4 I've seen also some 'stubs' and vanity articles and I've tried not to do one... Cheers! --ThunderDrum 10:47, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment. According to the article the band is notable enough. Unfortunately, article seems to have been created and maintained by a member of the band, so it's nothing but a serious NPOV violation. ThunderDrum, think of it this way: your band is notable enough when someone else writes the article. Writing one yourself is the worst you can do. (By the way, next time you see less-notable bands, nominate them for deletion. Just because an article exists, doesn't mean it's worth it.) -- Parasti 22:47, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there actually is such registered political party in Canada. The weblink just points to a fairly insignificant webforum or blog. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Delete as hoax. Eusebeus 15:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, yes, clearly it's not a real party but rather more of an art project. I believe this is quite apparent from the statement made in the article: "The Brown Party of Canada is not a registered fringe party. Voting for The Brown Party of Canada will spoil your ballot."

It does, at the very least, exist semiotically. That must count for something, no?

I should add, that if you want to get rid of this entry you'll be required to apply the same logic to the article for the Canadian Extreme Wrestling Party, which does have an entry. In fact, there's an entry called "List of frivolous political parties," some of which are officially registered, and some of which are not (such as the aforementioned, now defunct, Wrestling Party).

[edit] Neil Mahapatra

This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I nominated for these reasons - 1. The subject is not notable. Presidency of a student club, young employee of a bank seems to be his only claims to fame. 2. The article appears to have been created to allow (or at least has served the purpose of) the publication of potentially libellous claims about subject, perhaps by a rival at work (the person who attempted to introduce said claims was called "Morganstanman" and he claims to work at same place as subject. 3. Much of information (which I deleted) which made up the article consisted of total speculation about the subject's future role in British politics despite no indication that he is currently or has ever been involved in politics other than as President of a student debating society.

Delete - I can't see how this is notable. (Disclaimer: since this is my namesake I may be biased.) — ciphergoth 16:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Notability is not a delete criterion, and you have not provided any other criteria for deletion. The content is completely verifiable. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-3 16:07
- Notability is speedy delete criterion A7 - see WP:CSD. Also see Wikipedia:Deletion of vanity articles. — ciphergoth 16:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  - Did you even read the vanity page you cited: "people such as college professors or actors may be individually important in society." — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-3 17:10
  - As for the CSD you cite, that is a confusion of the criterion: it is referring to articles that simply talk about a person in a non-important way, such as "Bob Jones was born in 1990. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California, and attends the local high school." Now if it said, "Bob Jones was the boy stuck in a well for 6 weeks in 2001. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California", then the article asserts importance. As for vanity, that refers to articles that are written in a highly positive tone, such as if the article was written by its own subject. Vanity is pretty easy to spot, and this article is definitely not vanity. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-3 17:12
    - The irony is that this article was originally about a different Paul Crowley, the one who writes about Shakespeare. When I challeneged that person's notability, someone Googled for "Paul Crowley" and added information about this other Paul Crowley. When I pointed out the confusion, information about the first one was deleted, leaving only the information about the second. You may draw your own conclusions about what this says about the notability of either party. — ciphergoth 08:50, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
      - The Shakespearean one may deserve an article as well. I don't know enough about him to write a decent-sized article, but I knew enough about the professor to write the current article. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-6 22:38

However, as long as there don't seem to be sufficient editors interested to keep it unvandalized without resorting to protection, and as long as there's nothing more to be protected than a stub, I don't think it's worth keeping. I think I looked at all the edits that might not have been vandalism, and couldn't find any versions of the article longer than a stub ("it exists, it has x users and y posts as of z") that weren't vandalism.

Comment The Show existed theres no doubt of that, Australians know that however its not notable enough to be a wikipedia article really has no interest maybe on a list of Australian shows but not its own article especially seeing as how short it is. There could be a article written about the American version with a short part about the Australian version however the Australian version alone does not qualify for its own article. Mike 05:04, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: If the show actually existed, and was broadcast on a major Australian TV network, it seems hard to imagine that it was not notable enough to warrant an article, even if it did not last long. Minor Australian TV shows are not less notable than minor US ones, and we have articles on minor US shows like Battle of the Network Stars; see also WP:BIAS. I'm in no position to confirm that the show actually aired, other than the fact that it appeared to be confirmed by the Tim Ferguson article. Smerdis of Tlön 12:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Unless you know anything about this show and/or live in Australia now or during that perioud I dont think your fit to comment on "whether it existed" it did exist however is not notable as most people (australians) dont know about the show as it was on for such a short period a while ago.

[edit] Districts and communities of San Antonio, Texas

History first. This article began as a section in the San Antonio (SA) article. At one point a large amount of information was added to the section, greatly increasing it's size. The section was then broken out into it's own article to bring the size of the SA article back under control. Then, it was discovered that all the extra text was a copyright vio, and the text was removed, bringing the article's size way back down. The remaining small amount of text was then copied back into the main SA article, where it now exists.

End result, the reason this article was created no longer applies, and the contents of the article are duplicated in the main SA article.

So I see no real reason for this separate article to remain at this time, though I could see it's recreation at a future date if the section in the main article were to grow again. TexasAndroid 16:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment Related to this [[27]]
I am shocked that you want to delete this page. Ditherals is not widely used by the mainstream media, but is much more commonly used in regular speach and very common in political blogs especially in this election season. If someone is reading a blog, and comes accross Ditherals, they should be able to go to Wikipedia to look it up. Why delete it? I strongly object to the deletion request. There is no "common usage" criteria in Wikipedia's deletion protocol.
- There most certainly is a "common usage" criterion in Wikipedia's deletion protocol; to merit an article, things on here have to be (a) verifiable, (b) notable, (c) encyclopedic, and (d) neutral and unbiased. This is none of the above. Consider it speedied. And before you make the accusation I know you're just itching to make, I am not a Liberal Party of Canada member, supporter or voter. Bearcat 05:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
I protest and repeat that there is no common usage criterion in Wikipedia's deletion protocol. A word does not have to be in common usage to be (a) verifiable, (b) notable, (c) encyclopedic. There hare thousands of Wikipedia entries in uncommon usage that are all verifiable, notable and encyclopedic. The definition was not written in a baised manner. You have deleted the page without 'Wikipedia community consensus' and in violation of Wikipedia's deletion protocol which requires community consensus. Please revive the page to aviod going throught the deletion review process. Readers of Canadian Poltics blogs are coming accross the word Ditherals every day. Lastly, you accuse me of "itching to make the accusation that you are a member of the Liberal Party of Canada" without justification and I request that you retract that statement. -Palmerston —Preceding unsigned comment added by Palmerston (talk • contribs) 11:43, 11 January 2006

Comment – there are a handful google results (excluding WP & derivatives) for the name that clearly refer to Kelly Groucutt, so it is a common misspelling for him. However, considering that Kelly Groucutt is a living male [28], and this subject is a deceased female, I think the author has someone else in mind. I can't find anything about that woman on google, though. ×Meegs 22:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Auron tare

Borderline speedy as nn-bio, worthy yet non-notable head of national park and associated foundation. Assertion of war journalism unverified MNewnham 17:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep, Google search [[29]] shows over a hundred unique hits, many not in English, citing this person as director or founder of the archeology center, or as director of the national park. Most appear to be archeology-related academic mentions or legitimate news, not just self-promotion or Wikipedia mirror sites. You'll get lower numbers if you search with Preferences set to English only. Barno 23:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

the person is associated with a number of archaeology institutions as well as being a founder of Butrint National Park according to information in website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalivo (talk • contribs) .
Keep; the current head of a park at any given time may not be notable, but Tare seems to have done much more. Although the article is largely unverified, it seems verifiable. I think this article could squeak by with a bit of trimming and an (unreferenced) tag. Melchoir 12:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

tare has worked in Kosova in 1998 and 1999 for ITN TV. He was working very closly with the well known british journalist Gabi Rado who was killed in Irak.

comment - the article in question needs major cleanup. in the future, please consider cleaning up an article, even if it is going to be deleted. people shouldn't stumble on ugly articles. Kingturtle 19:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
keep - after cleaning it up, i think this article should remain. Kingturtle 19:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

comment I notice that this page has been modified, and now contains even more unsubtantiated claims than before.

"auron tare" + ITN 0 google hits - I have also searched the ITN and BBC web sites and found no mention of his name.

"auron tare" + "gabi rado" 0 google hits

"auron tare" + hospital 0 google hits

this article implies he is not head of the Albanian National Trust, as claimed.

This article implies that the Archeological mission at Butrint is simply a branch office, and the Auron Tare is the head.

My nomination stands as is. MNewnham 23:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I have checked the albanian related sites. The information is correct. Also an article from Washington Post and Cnn Traveler give him the credit for establishing the National Park of Butrint

[edit] Sunjammer

Vanity - not factual - of no interest Optime 17:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Carrying on from discussion:

Any link from that list that might be seen as commercial, you're free to edit them out. A discography for an artist is not "of no interest". The blog one, sure, it's arguably personal, but i'd be surprised to see a blog link being deleted from Trent Reznor's page for instance. Bias.

When biographical information is central to the subject matter, i'd reckon it's relevant.

The page is not a personal tribute. I can do that on my own site thanks much, and i have. It is meant to be an explanation of sunjammer the musician. Bands *are represented on wikipedia*. Deal with it. For instance, system of a down or nine inch nails, both more elaborate than the Sunjammer entry by far. Why? Because you argue more have interest in them because it is a broader subject matter? Your argument falls flat. Bias.

"Empty of interest to anyone" is a pretty bold claim. Empty of interest to YOU perhaps, but considering the amount of shows Sunjammer has played, to fair critical acclaim (being compared with artists such as Venetian Snares for instance, who i might add also has a more detailed page).

Then, your first statement is riddled with bias. "Notable" wasn't even added by me, but by DragonFly in the first revision. Check the rev history before bringing up specifics. Stating i am not an artist is ignorance. I am a musician with a fair history of shows, releases and backing the scenes i've been a part of. I am as much an artist as the aforementioned Venetian Snares, and as such i am entitled to an entry for the project. Your personal bias belongs elsewhere.

I'll make another revision taking heed to the issues you have brought up, much like i'd appreciate it if you also did, rather than vandalize and delete the contents. If Sunjammer is of no interest, what of Knifehandchop? This entire argument smacks of personal bias.

Decept404 17:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

~~Neutral for now~~. Decept404 and an anonymous contributor, possibly the nominator, have been insulting each other on Talk:Sunjammer. They both ought to read Wikipedia:No personal attacks, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:Notability (music) before continuing. Melchoir 17:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and Wikipedia:Autobiography. Melchoir 17:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Apologies if this was a completely awful thing to write. My first wiki post, grant me one mistake? I tried to keep the article as unbiased as possible. Not to sell, more to avoid being misrepresented (i know, possibly pretentious). Decept404 17:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Please understand that creating a new article here is not comparable to a "post" elsewhere on the Internet. Even if this article is deleted, you shouldn't take it personally; deletions happen all the time, and we still welcome contributions on other topics.

My main concern is whether even the remaining information here is verifiable, let alone meeting WP:MUSIC. Now that it's on AfD, we may as well wait for others to comment. Melchoir 18:08, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't take it personally if this didn't seem like an openly personal attack. If the reasons for deletion were clear, as opposed to what seems like reasons for revisions rather than all-out deletion, i'd welcome it. No worries. I'm already working on more articles of broader interest. Decept404 18:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, the nomination was definitely a personal attack, but it had some merit, however badly stated. Anyway, I was just bracing you in the event of a deletion, which now seems less likely. It's good to see that you're moving on. Melchoir 18:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Article is unverifiable and subject "not notable" as in Wikipedia:Notability (music). Optime 17:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Note that Optime's account seems to have been created for the sole purpose of destroying this article. Melchoir 18:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

True in as "move article to user space" Optime 18:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You're quite tenuous, considering you've left represented artists with NO releases at all out of the equation, this in addition to your personal insults leads me to believe you have an agenda. On the notability subject:

"Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." - Sunjammer is along with Petrochemical the *only* norwegian export of gabba and hardcore techno.

"Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network." - Playlists for NRK P3 can be found here: http://www2.nrk.no/spillelister/sending.aspx?prog=578&tid=2003-12-30%2022:05:00Z

NRK being the national radio network provider for norway.

"Is cited in notable and verifiable sources as being influential in style, technique, repertory or teaching in a particular music genre." - How this can be verifiable is beyond me, but have a chat with DJ Producer or Hellfish, or (i'm told) Aphex Twin. Sunjammer is deep underground. It's more about playing shows than releasing records and making money.

"Has established a tradition or school in a particular genre." - Established is an open term. I know Sunjammer has inspired an interest in combining classical music with noise and industrial. This is about as verifiable as anything in such a limited scene.

I'm not going to fight this anymore, there isn't much more i can say. "Verifiable" quickly becomes me dropping a bunch of links, which doesnt feel worth it because it really is a niche thing. I'm not going to bicker any more. If an admin feels this article is worth deleting in spite of all my argumentation, that's the end of that matter as far as i'm concerned. It does feel like this article has seen unjust attention from people with a personal grudge however (though i consider myself a pretty nice guy, what'd i do wrong hey?); There is far less "relevant" material on wiki at the moment, which leads me to believe verification of the importance of subject matter, in a lot of cases, is limited to a google search.

[edit] List of notable large people

A bunch of reasons: Seems slightly POV, a lot of this has got to be unverifiable, and despite the intro's suggestion that it's historical plenty of the people on it are presently alive. "Large" is also extremely vague in this context. Daniel Case 17:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I don't think it's encylopedic, but there are several other such lists. (Big busted, for example.) -- Mikeblas 18:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

delete. Completely POV - Why Kirstie alley and not Oprah? and seems that famous people with temporary weight gain could get stuck on the list forever. MNewnham 18:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

keep. It's a list that could be added to (for example, Oprah can be added, as can others). It seems like the people on it are people who are known especially for being heavy for a significant period of time, as opposed to people who are transitorily heavy, like Kate Winslet or Renee Zellweger. Much of other lists - like Feminists or a similar "Notable Obese People" - is POV as well. Raedyke 19:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Inherently POV. No definition of "large." Both Jack Black and Whoopi Goldberg are on the list. I don't think they are "large." And Mao Tse-Tung? I've never heard of him described as "large"! Such a list lends itself to such arguments. It's an opinion list. Not encylopedic. What do you when someone loses weight? If the list were, for example, notable people who have weighed over 300 lbs., that's another thing, but even then there would have to be documentation of the weight and we would have to ascertain that the people are notable. Crunch 19:34, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Ok I have looked at everything I can find. A College is notable, but I am no longer sure this is real. The only hits are to Wikipedia, and to the so called British Accreditation Council, which is not a well known body. I can't find a reference on the (local government) Council web site, nor any student that goes there now or ever went. I think we should delete this as un verified until there is a solid reference that it is real. As mentioned below, they are using Wikipedia on this site as a pseudo endorser for the College.

If you were to request that it be deleted I would stretch a point and delete it (CSD G7, though strictly speaking that's only for accidentally created articles). You can make the request here, or you can implicitly make the request by editing the article to remove everything AFTER the line that says "End of AfD message, feel free to edit beyond this point" (you'll only see this line when you edit the page).

Article should be merged with article on Chicago Transit Authority, in a fare subsection. How Chicago collects its fares is not worthy of its own seperate article. — WCityMike ^{(T | C)} 18:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep - Do you plan to AFD all of the payment card articles? There are 22 in Category:Contactless smartcards. In Chicago these are important because a lawsuit has just been filed alleging racial discrimination in fares where people with Chicago Cards are paying less. I'll find a citation and add it to the article. Tedernst | talk 19:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Important part of a major transit authority. Too big to merge. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Comment: I just got in somewhat of a disagreement with a user in regards to the Luas smart card. First she wrote an OK article about it, then replaced it with coying and pasting what was on the Luas page to the new article. It is my opinion that to the extent possible that information regarding these smartcards should be kept in the article on the transit system, as your average person looking for information on any aspect of the XYZ bus system, will probably go to XYZ bus system page. In Chicago card case, where lawsuits are involved, and the Chicago Transit article is already large, there is an argument for a searate article. But some of these articles are either redundant with material already in the main article or make more sense merged with the original article. Many of them cross link each other, or all tell similar histories about smart cards. I am wondering if these articles are defended just because it is newfangled technology. If these were tokens would they be even considered for different articles? It is still just they way people pay their fare.--Esprit15d 16:17, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Burundian Kowtowing Toady

Article describes a species invented for unpublished Harry Potter fanfiction. I feel bad nominating it since it looks like a lot of work was involved in its creation and it follows the formatting rules, but it fails WP:NOT, and as such doesn't belong here. For this reason, Delete both the article and its related image file (Kowtowingtoady.jpg) Colin Kimbrell 20:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete as per nom. -- (aeropagitica) 21:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep: I disagree with the deletion nomination, for obvious reasons; being the author of an article will do that. That aside, however, I'd say that it is a relevant article. I quote from what I presume is the relevant section: "Original inventions. If you invent the word frindle or a new type of dance move, it is not article material until a secondary source reports on it." The Toady emerged through hubbub on a high-traffic fanfic site, and has been published on said site in - to my knowledge - at least two independent fics by different authors, not counting my own ones. In my view, this should qualify as "secondary sources", and also rejects the "unpublished fiction" criticism. The verifiability requirement is also satisfied, as the comment threads in which the Toady is discussed are easily available on the SIYE website.
I also refer you to the article on Thestrals, which is in itself an original invention, albeit by a published author. Its main use by secondary sources is, of course, in Harry Potter fanfics. The fact that there have been no moves to delete this article suggests to me that similar articles are equally permissible.
Supporting evidence of fanfics and pure-fanon inventions being permitted include Draco Dormiens and The Tale Of Westala and Villtin.
If the motion to delete is carried, I request a 48-hour delay (on grounds of imminent travel) to allow me to comment on any counter-arguments and save a backup of the article on my home computer.

Comment:You could also keep a temporary copy on a subpage of your user page; it might be a good idea to do this, in case an admin decides to close the vote early. See Wikipedia:Subpages for details and instructions.-Colin Kimbrell 19:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Done, thanks for the idea.Torak 12:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment:Thanks for taking the time to come by and discuss this. I'm not sure that the precedents you cite are applicable in this case, in that they apply to specific works of fanfiction, rather than specific aspects of those individual works. It's also worth noting that The Very Secret Diaries (the redirect destination of Draco Dormiens) was nominated for AFD once (link) and closed with a 50/50 keep/delete split, and that many of the keep votes did so with the claim that it represented a "notable internet meme", a claim that probably would not apply to Burundian Kowtowing Toady. It is also unlikely that individual fanfiction stories would qualify as secondary sources, in that they are not themselves independent analyses of the Burundian Kowtowing Toady, or historical/media accounts of its creation. Rather, they are additional examples of primary sources.-Colin Kimbrell 19:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Two comments on this; in what way is an article about a single fanfic more eligible than an article about a single fanfic construct being used by multiple authors in multiple fics?
Secondly, as far as the other fics go, it's a bit hazy whether they're primary or secondary sources; parts have fed into the construction of the Toady, parts have featured the Toady based on its appearance in the original discussion thread, and there have even been a few meta references directly referencing its creation. Not sure if that has any bearing on it, just thought I'd fling that out there.

Delete as non-notable fan fiction. original research. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-11 04:24Z

From the Fancruft page: "Well-referenced and well-written articles on obscure topics are from time to time deleted as well, but such deletions are highly controversial. It is also worth noting that many articles on relatively obscure topics are featured articles. Generally speaking, the perception that an article is fancruft can be a contributing factor in its deletion, but it is rarely the sole factor." Article has already been acknowledged to be well-written (Colin Kimbrell, "This article is well-written and formatted..."), and at least two external references exist.
Original research does not apply, as the article documents the creature's inception over some time, including use prior to my own in several fanfics.

Comment: Since the article claims to release the Toady for use in other derivative works, can anyone here suggest an alternative project with a compatible license as a target for a Transwiki?-Colin Kimbrell 16:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm starting to see a pattern emerge here... ;-)
Ah well, if it's got to go, it's got to go. But if there's any way to retain it - in any form - then obviously I'd like to do so. JzG, see my first post for examples of fictional components of fictional universes that have unchallenged articles. Colin, what's this Transwiki thing you mention? And would the "derivative works" thing have a bearing on the AFD nom if I removed it?
Torak 11:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Sometimes when we get an article that's of value but not really encyclopedic, we decide to move it to a different wiki project, either affiliated with us or completely independent but with a compatible license. Dictionary definitions go to Wiktionary, how-to articles go to Wikibooks, non-notable webcomics go to Comixpedia, etc. This process is called transwikiing, and I was asking whether anybody knows of a wikiproject for stock fiction resources, since your article might be a good fit for such a project, if there is one. "Derivative work" is a legal term, which basically just means a creative project that incorporates aspects of some other preceding project, like a hip-hop producer who uses samples in a song or a cartoonist who draws a picture of the Mona Lisa sticking her tongue out. A Harry Potter fanfiction is a derivative work, since it uses characters and settings devised by J.K. Rowling. I mentioned it here because a sentence in your article released the Toady for use in derivative works, and I thought that might bolster a claim for a transwiki to the hypothetical source I described earlier. It's not likely to help or hurt your case for Wikipedia. -Colin Kimbrell 14:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Sutter

Was nominated for speedy as hoax, but I'm bringing it to AFD instead as it was nominated earlier and kept. I copy the following from the article talk page: No one seems to have noticed last year, but no one of this name ever played major league baseball (Bruce Sutter is the only Sutter to have done so). Also, Bruce Sutter had no relatives who ever played professional sports; The Sporting News Baseball Register routinely lists any relatives in pro sports for all major leaguers, and the 1988 Register (the last one in which Bruce appeared) listed none for him. This is apparently an old, undetected prank page. MisfitToys 19:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll add that the four votes to keep last year were all on the basis of this person having played in the majors (which isn't the case); the first person to notice that this isn't a real person was apparently an anon user just one week ago. MisfitToys 22:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable game character. Delete Atrian 21:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

how does wikipedia work? I thought this was about sharing and expanding knowledge. I didnt even get a chance to post the facts of Wulph and you are ready to delete it. Expanding the minds of our world community is my goal, please I ask you to allow me to complete this mission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khainne (talk • contribs)

This is an encyclopaedia, so we only share and expand knowledge that we know is actually true. Part of this is that we have standards for what we include in order to preserve verifiability and for other reasons. See Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not. If 'Wulph' is a widely used term on the order of Leeroy Jenkins, the article might be worth keeping or mentioning elsewhere, but you need to provide sources that prove it is. --Malthusian (talk) 17:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Almost considered placing a speedy tag on the basis that the CSD regarding non-notable bios should also apply to non-notable role-playing characters. But I suppose being the basis for 'to Wulph' is a claim of notability, if anyone actually ever says 'to Wulph', which I doubt but can't say for sure as I don't play WoW. --Malthusian (talk) 17:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment For the benefit of Khainne more than anyone else, so he knows where we're coming from, googling for 'wulph "world of warcraft"' turns up no hits that supports the article. "Wulphism" "I wulphed" "You wulphed" and "He wulphed" all turn up no hits at all. We can't spread knowledge if we don't know that it's true :-) --Malthusian (talk) 17:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Don't see any big problem with this. David | Talk 23:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC
Keep. Not suitbale for categorisation.
I'm going to vote delete here because this is, in the end, a list of arbitrary entertainment medium which has used arbitrary plot device at some point. Time travel is a fairly popular fictional meme, I can see the merit in the category and maybe even in a list of significant fiction which uses time travel as a plot device for one episode (although probably not, to be fair), but the fact that, for example, Blackadder Back and Forth (generally regarded as far and away the worst example of the entire faranchise) relies on time travel really tells us nothing about either time travel as a fictional concept or Blackadder the entertainment phenomenon. I might even have been swayed if this was anything other than a bare list, but as it stands the reader is left to guess in which episode(s) and to what extent, with what significance, exploring which of the multiple plot lines of time travel (causality, comic anachronism, whatever), with what degree of unpredictability (it is more or less inevitable that any sci-fi series will eventually cover this ground) and even how good or bad it was (which in the Blackadder case is: very lame indeed). As far as I can tell this article has no actual encyclopaedic informational content at all. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 19:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I have already suggested that the individual episodes are given in the list, but was going to wait for a consensus before proceeding with adding them. The nomination for deletion was immediate, so no discussion has even begun on what direction the article might take if it is to remain. — Lee J Haywood 21:11, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creationism and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

VOTE Tally: Delete: 12 Keep: 5

This is an inappropriate Fork of creationism, entropy, and a number of other articles. In particular, this subject is already appropriately covered on the creation-evolution controversy page. The User:Tisthammerw is currently trying to get this very same linklist included on the creation-evolution controversy page after having failed getting included on the Second Law of Thermodynamics page. For reasons discussed on Talk:Second law of thermodynamics, Talk:Second law of thermodynamics/creationism, and Talk:Creation-evolution controversy, it isn't clear that this should be done. After all Wikipedia is not a linkfarm. Also note that one of the links is to his own personal webpage, in possible violation of WP:VANITY and WP:NOR. --ScienceApologist 23:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete There is not enough research material on this page to make it worth merging. -- (aeropagitica) 23:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Do not delete, first, let it be said that contrary to ScienceApologist's accusations I did not create this fork. This stub was a consensus reached decision from a previous discussion on whether or not to include a popular creationist claim regarding the second law of thermodynamics in the second law of thermodynamics Wikipedia entry. It was decided that the issue, being a significant minority view, was nonetheless best put somewhere else and this stub for it was created. See for instance this mediation section and especially the end of this section. The link BTW ScienceApologist is referring to is owned by me but it is not a personal web page (i.e. it is not about me, it is about science, philosphy etc. and contains no actual vanity content). It is also not original research, as it consists of more than a dozen verifiable citations. I have had a dispute with ScienceApologist before, and he is now trying to remove web pages of mine both here and from the ontological argument section. I didn't actually put the link there (some other user did, apparently finding the page useful) but ScienceApologist wants it removed nonetheless. You can find out about that dispute here. --Wade A. Tisthammer 23:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Keep I created this page, not tisthammerw, as a solution to a very extended discussion on Talk:Second_law_of_thermodynamics and Talk:Second_law_of_thermodynamics/creationism, following the direct suggestion of the appointed WP mediator to that discussion. The joint feeling in that discussion was that a detailed treatment of this pseudoscience topic was not appropriate for a frontline physics article. Therefore this page was created to allow a detailed examination of the history, sociology and whatever else for this topic here, rather than in Second Law of Thermodynamics. The article is clearly flagged as a stub, because to start it I merely cut and pasted the material that had previously been on the Second Law of Thermodynamics page -- which putting here allowed us to remove from there. A detailed treatment of this topic is by consensus not appropriate for Second Law of Thermodynamics, not appropriate for entropy, so it is ++useful for those articles to have this article that they can hand the discussion off to (including links, references, etc). Of course, at the moment the article is just a stub; but I very much doubt it will stay so short for very long(!). Like any other article on WP, the contents of this article are up for editing and change -- I'm not going to make any defence for or against tisthammerw's link. But the bottom line is this: having this separate article here in WP's namespace is useful, and has helped resolve a lengthy discussion elsewhere, so please don't delete it. -- Jheald 23:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC).

I'm sorry that you have decided to effectively create a POV fork as a resolution to a dispute, but that's not in accordance with Wikipedia policy. --ScienceApologist 03:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

No, it's not a POV fork. It's a rational factoring of the content into two NPOV articles, reflecting the consensus outcome of an extensive and prolonged discussion. If there's something in this new article that you don't think reflects NPOV then edit it, but it seems a pretty solid and balanced NPOV beginning to me. -- Jheald 03:35, 11 January 2006 (UTC).

For WP policy, see WP:Content forking - Article spinouts. That is what this is. -- Jheald 16:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC).

It may not be a POV fork of the 2nd Law article, but it is definitely a POV fork of the creation-evolution controversy article which already deals with second-law objections to evolution. It would have been better if editors at 2nd Law had consulted editors at creationism or creation-evolution controversy before making a wholly separate article. As it currently stands, there are a lot of problems with this article and it doesn't lend itself to a redirect merger (it's not just a matter of editting). This is a generally poor way to handle a content fork especially now that Wikipedia has articles about so many subjects. --ScienceApologist 04:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what basis you have to call it POV. The section on the creation-evolution controversy says almost nothing about the topic, though that it even exists in the entry bears some mention. You said there are lot of problems with this article. Really? Can you point out even one? --Wade A. Tisthammer 04:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I mention them in the opening rationale. --ScienceApologist 06:44, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Where? Could you perhaps (for instance) isolate and/or rephrase your justification for calling it POV?

The POV is creationist and it isn't clear that a fork of 2LOT based on creationism is appropriate. --ScienceApologist 06:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Weak delete. The second paragraph doesn't say anything about how the arguments against evolution are flawed; it has a tone of "the creationists are wrong, so there." This isn't really an improvement on what exists in other articles. Gazpacho 07:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

So fix it. You might like to look at Second_law_of_thermodynamics#Complex_systems_and_the_Second_Law. From the standpoint of the 2nd Law article, the most useful thing is to have the links etc discussing just what the anti-evolutionists tend to claim here rather than there. -- Jheald 09:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC).

Comment: A bit more detail is necessary, I think, given that this is an ongoing issue. Either this subject is signficant but not expandable beyond this stub, in which case it should be either in creationism or second law of thermodynamics; or this subject is significant and more can be written, in which case I'll be happy to keep when I see it; or this is a view held by an insignificant minority, in which case it doesn't belong anywhere here. (Addendum: the creation-evolution controversy page says that this theory is too stupid even for creationist organisations to recommend using it, which means that it seems unlikely to be worth covering in any more depth than that article does.)
Currently the article does not explain why creationists believe the 2nd Law proves God's existence or whatever, but does find time to say that they're wrong. Even if it isn't a fork and its creation was a good idea I can't support keeping that. --Malthusian (talk) 16:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Wade is the primary author since the linkfarm is his creation and that is the majority of the article. --ScienceApologist 13:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, if you track back through the history of Second Law of Thermodynamics, I think you will find that that set of links evolved through the normal process of Wikipedia editing, with contributions from several sides; to produce what I believe is a reasonably balanced sampler of discussion on the topic. Which is why I am left somewhat confused by the claim that the current article stub up for deletion is said to be POV. But perhaps you can enlighten me? -- Jheald 14:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC).

Check out the discussion at creation-evolution controversy where the links were removed except for one for reasonable rationale. --ScienceApologist 20:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Seems to me that rationale mostly only applies to that page though, not to this one. -- Jheald 11:11, 13 January 2006 (UTC).

Except, we are arguing that supposed content associated with this subject blongs on that page. --ScienceApologist 06:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

In the discussion regarding creationism and the second law of thermodynamics, one suggested comprimise was to move the links to creationism. ScienceApologist removed them however, and suggested they be moved to creation-evolution controversy where he deleted all the links I moved there save for one anticreationist link. --Wade A. Tisthammer 05:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

This is a very one-sided interpretation of what occurred. You can read about the rationale for excluding the linkfarm on the Talk:Creation-evolution controversy page.

Comment: Malthusian, the primary problem is that creationists make five separate arguments concerning 2LOT, none of which are scientifically supportable. As for delete vs keep, if this article is to stay it needs work, but not as if it were a full-blown article. On the other hand, I'm not sure that it should be kept at all, per the points raised by SA and others.

Given creationists never-ending litany of objections to evolution that cover such fields as physics, chemistry, cosmology, biology, mathematics, philosophy, theology, geology, paleontology, archaeology, etc., if we allow this article to stay, we'll need articles on such diverse topics as "Dendrochronology is suspect because two or more rings can grow per year", Light moths increased before trees got lighter", "Dinosaurs may still be alive in the Congo", "There is not enough helium in the atmosphere for an old earth", etc. But, having said all of that, I'm not going to vote because I had some involvement in the genesis of this page. Also, I understand both sides of this issue, and neither is truly compelling at the moment. Jim62sch 18:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

My point has always been that creationism objections to scientific viewpoints do not belong in every single article about a topic that they object about. I have to agree that making a new article is not reasonable for each topic's controversy, and that it should be in creationism, however I'm beginning to think that the article on creationism is hopelessly bogged down with comparisons between it and science. Maybe there should just be one big article similar to religion and science or something like that? I suppose I am delete but for relocation. This stuff needs a home. I think creationism would be better if it talked about creationism instead of objections to scientific evidence and theories, and that the articles on scientific evidence and theories would be better if they were similarly limited in scope. Call me a reductionist, I guess. There are plenty of things in the Bible that do not have to do with creationism and yet violate the scientifically accepted laws of physics. --Ignignot 21:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete This content and these links belong in the Creation-evolution_controversy article in my opinion. Flying Jazz 22:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete per WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and POV fork. And it's very, very small, there is no problem at all containing this much text in one of the several existing articles on creationism. The fact that it's apparently viewed as a placeholder for even more such nonsense is also a good reason to get rid of it. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 18:37, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep First, being a stub is not sufficient reason for deletion. The article is only a few days old - wait a month and see if it grows up, and if not delete it then. Second, creationist misunderstandings about thermodynamics should be addressed somewhere in Wikipedia; but certainly not at Second law of thermodynamics. There is no adequate comment elsewhere. Third, deletion of this article will result in continuation of creationist interference with Second law of thermodynamics. Placing the debate on a separate article will allow that article to be improved without unnecessary interruption. Banno 20:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

WRT points two and three -- send your creationists who want to interfere over to the creation-evolution controversy article. That's where the subject belongs. --ScienceApologist 20:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

So you would make creation-evolution controversy a sort of ghetto for creationists? Have you noticed how crowded that article is? Banno 22:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The article already includes information about the 2LOT arguments made by creationists. If there is more encyclopedic content to add, let it grow organically from that article and then create a daughter article. I don't think a case has been made that this article deserves to exist. --ScienceApologist 06:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete This appears to be a POV fork and possibly WP:NOR. Any real new content could be added into Creation-evolution_controversy . Salsb 21:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

It would be a POV fork if only the creationist view were discussed, but there is nothing in the nature of the page that necessitates that. At present, it says just about nothing, so how can you claim it to be original research? Delete the page before it is written and you will never know. Give it a chance. Banno 22:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The page title itself is begging for original research to creep in as it is establishing a pseudoscientific look at a scientific subject. It would be like having a page on New Age spirituality and quantum mechanics -- a completely inappropriate platform for establishing an encyclopedia article. --ScienceApologist 06:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. This article could be expanded to include arguments against evolution, and geological time, dating back all the way to Kelvin. Kelvin argued (before the discovery of radioactivity) that the earth was too warm to be as old as geologists claimed and Darwin's theory required; when he presented his argument for a max age of 20,000,000 years (which was solid, if you don't take into account the heating due to radioactivity) in a popular form (MacMillan's Magazine, volume 5, 1862,pp. 288-293), it was in the context of the recent publication Origin. And in 1872, he presented a short essay on the origin of life, based similarly on thermodynamic arguments; after an invocation of the "solid and irrefragable argument" of Paley's Natural Theology, he concluded,: "...overwhelmingly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie all around us; and if ever perplexities, whether metaphysical or scientific, turn us away from them from a time, they come back upon us with irresistable force, showing to us through Nature the influence of free will, and teaching us that all living things depend on one ever-acting Creator and Ruler." (Report of the Forty-First Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Edinburgh, August 1871, pp lxxxiv-cv)--ragesoss 04:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Whilst Kelvin's calculations was important to establishing the ancient age of the earth, (given the radioactivity issue which when discovered pushed it back further), that is not how modern YEC creationists ("creation scientists") use the term. The more modern "sophisticated" IDists don't use 2LOT because it is so dumb. Kelvin recognised the importance of evidence over scripture and recognised evolution but with "divine guidance" [42]. But the thermodynamics and the age of the earth is a different to creationism and the second law of thermodynamics, and is therefore OT. — Dunc|☺ 11:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
  - And yet, strictly speaking, Kelvin did make the connection between his work based on the 2LOT and creationism, broadly defined. I'm not saying it's the same thing as modern YEC invocations of it, but it fits the title and potential content of the article; there is enough history of 2LOT-based arguments related to creationism, from both a geological and biological perspective, that the article could contain significant content in the future. The article is potentially broader than just "YEC creationism and the 2LOT applied to biology". And even for just recent arguments, the article has a lot more potential content, including arguments that the 2LOT didn't operate until the Fall of Man, and a more extensive treatment of the detailed arguments and criticism. As Banno argues, we can't just relegate everything to do with creationism to the controversy article. 2LOT arguments are extensive enough (and different enough from other aspects of creation-evolution) to merit the existence of this article. The creation-evolution article is largely not about the details of the intellectual arguments in the debate, but about the nature of and participants in it. --ragesoss 05:08, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

We can relegate everything to the controversy article. In fact, we already do. The subject is covered there in as much detail as it deserves from an encyclopedic standpoint. --ScienceApologist 06:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

More than that, Kelvin's arguments had to do with hydrostatic equilibrium, the equivalence of heat and energy, and gravitational collapse and were not about the 2LOT per se. --ScienceApologist 06:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kartshin

This article has apparently been used as a battleground between supporters of two rival rabbis, resulting in cases of blanking and complete replacement of the article. In both cases, the entry is very problematic. The current version refers to a small town in Galicia. No data is provided and the name looks misspelled. Google only comes up with family names. Given the context of the other version, it must refer to a location in the province located in Poland / Ukraine, but that's not even indicated, and Spain has a region of the same name. Again, the name "Kartshin" looks like is a misspelling / anglicisation (it is definitely not correct Polish, but I have no knowledge of Ukrainian.) The old version was an article about one of the two rival rabbis. Problem I: both persons already have an article, see Ben Zion Halberstam (The Second) and Mordecai David Unger, and so has the object of the dispute Bobov (Hasidic dynasty). Problem II: no rationale was provided for giving a biographical article this name.

I propose deleting this entry including its redirect Kurchin (I've tried googling that too, but I've found no town, village or whatever. The only references are as a family name.) Valentinian 23:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star wars kotor III

Article about a video game in the early stages of development. WP:NOT a crystal ball, and there is little or no verifiable information available on the subject. Megamix^? 23:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

~~If it can be verified, merge with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. If not,~~ delete. Since no pages link to it, a redirect is unneccesary. -LtNOWIS 02:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ian Blair (Toronto)

Delete. Not newsworthy. He does not require his own page. I also question the page creator's motives. The user has a history of vandalizing the Rachel Marsden page. Will go into further detail later. Cyberboomer 23:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete Does not seem nearly noteworthy enough to have his own page. Pasboudin 02:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
