[edit] Greenlighting

Previous AfD vote was for Delete. Has been undeleted following a discussion on WP:DRV. DRV policy calls for undeleted items to be relisted on AFD. That was not done. Finishing the process. My vote is delete, nn forumcruft. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete after reviewing the other AfD I still think it is worth deleting... Nick Catalano (Talk) 00:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete again: the article is a non-notable example of systematic bias towards internet users with too much time on their hands (ie, us). - squibix 00:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, WP:Not indiscriminate collection, etc. - brenneman(t)(c) 00:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Very intriguing story and hoax that was covered by Slate, so why would we want to delete this? -- JJay 00:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A small but interesting part of Internet history that is worth covering; if I heard about these events and came to Wikipedia looking for information on them, I'd want to find this article here. The Slate article provides verifiability and shows that it is not merely "forumcruft". –Sommers (Talk) 01:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Something Awful. Not worth an article. JoaoRicardotalk 01:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unimportant. Unknown outside of a narrow circle. Unsuccessful hoax that was immediately recognized and fooled few. Before finalizing this vote, I am going to do a reality check: I am going to see whether this was ever mentioned in The New York Times. If it was, I'll change my vote. I don't know the result yet. This is my own reality check to make sure this was not much more notable than it seems to me. I'm not saying this should be a universal criterion, I'm not saying we should never mention things that weren't in the New York Times. But we don't need to have articles on everything that was in Slate. OK, here goes. Between 2000 and January 28, 2005, the word "greenlighting" has appeared five times in The New York Times. All of them were usages in the show business sense (project approval). Dpbsmith (talk) 01:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: See Jayson Blair for why the NY Times should not be viewed as an authority on reality. -- JJay 01:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    A lovely idea, but sadly inconsistent with the reality of writing an encyclopedia. Phil Sandifer 08:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge/delete We don't need an article for every little idea that some columnist mentions, especially an online columnist. Ashibaka tock 01:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete While it interesting, it is a hoax and, I have to admit, there's not much interest outside a small gorup of people --M@thwiz2020 02:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. -Ikkyu2 02:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Just doesn't meet the standards of notability for one. One article in Slate does not make it notable. Cyde Weys 02:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Did you mean keep? - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 14:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Does not meet WP:WEB. -- Dragonfiend 02:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Good thing it's not a website then. Phil Sandifer 05:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
      • WP:WEB "gives some rough guidelines which Wikipedia editors use to decide if any form of web specific-content ... should have an article on Wikipedia." To me, that includes internet hoaxes. -- Dragonfiend 06:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per JoaoRicardo --- Charles Stewart(talk) 02:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as barely notable. At the least, rename to Greenlighting hoax. Turnstep 03:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete By including in WP - there is a risk that a plainly unnotable event will gain substance. WP should be a record of fact not a creator of it--Porturology 03:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, based on the systematic bias and the fact that a WP article would significantly enhance the notability of a mostly unnotable event. Might merit brief discussion in Something Awful.--ragesoss 03:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep not a fan of hoax entries in general; needs to be labeled hoax to stay Amerigo 04:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, verifiable, major coverage, renaming is reasonable. Also because I oppose repeatedly AfDing until you get the result you want, and the needless and antagonistic uses of "nn" and "xcruft." Phil Sandifer 05:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • What do you mean?! It was deleted the first time! - squibix(talk) 12:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, the Slate article just barely establishes notability.
  • Keep and rename, per Turnstep. Wisco 06:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Jcuk 08:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, Strong merge to whatever-the-name-of-the-forum-is. Probably means something to somebody. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 09:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as per Turnstep. Batmanand 10:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Should clearly be labelled Hoax to keep it from the dictionary name. Charles Merriam 10:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Requires a name-change but is otherwise fine by me. Kusonaga 10:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per JoaoRicardo - • | Đܧ§§Ť | • T | C 12:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to Greenlighting hoax. --King of All the Franks 12:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable hoax, or merge to Something Awful. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 14:17, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn. all the external links are to "greenlighter.org" obviously a non-third party source. plus the wikipedia self-references. plus two previous afd delete vote decisions where the majority of users in both cases voted to delete it. Greenlighting hoax gets only 105 unique google hits [1] -- Astrokey44|talk 14:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable hoax. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as a non-notable hoax. Merge into Something Awful. As far as I can tell, it isn't now, nor ever was even mentioned there. Add it to that article, and if it gets too large to fit there, then split it to its own article. Peyna 15:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Something Awful Obli (Talk) 16:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable. -WAZAAAA 16:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. not notable. Arbustoo 21:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Harmless. Lack of notability is not a sufficient criterion for deletion. SP-KP 00:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I move that this vote be discounted because lack of notability is actually a significant criterion for deletion. --Cyde Weys 00:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Absolutely. Wikipedia:Notability keeps us from being an indiscriminate collection of information, and this information is indiscriminate. Ashibaka tock 01:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
      • "I move that this vote be discounted" ... ??? AfD is not a voting process. I guess the two of you probably aren't aware that there are very different views on the use of notability in AfD debates; not everyone subscribes to the view that non-notability is a sufficient basis for deletion. Wikipedia:Notability is neither policy nor guideline; it's opinion. SP-KP 01:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • It is, however, a handy portmanteau term for describing whether an article is or is not likely to be verifiable from reliable sources, and whether or not it constitutes "indiscriminate" per WP:NOT. In this case the sources appear to be: the hoaxer, and: the hoaxer. Not quite what I would understand as reliable ;-) - Just zis  Guy, you know?[T]/[C] AfD? 11:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Are you claiming that Slate is not a reliable source? Or that the hoax was perpetrated by Slate? Please clarify. -- JJay 13:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Slate is owned by the Evil Empire, they are minions of Stan and nothing they say can be believed :-D - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 12:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge. You know, I hear all the time that AFD is not a voting process, but have yet to see any evidence that it's true. -R. fiend 05:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete But to give R. fiend faith, let me be clear: this is just my recommendation as to what to do with this article; certainly not a vote. Eusebeus 07:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, three-day SA wonder. Pilatus 13:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge to the article on the forum. Not an event worthy of an article by itself. Thryduulf 15:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Still stupid, still not notable, just because SA engages in something doesn't make it notable either. RasputinAXP talk contribs 16:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per Turnstep. --Caponer 17:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Cyrus Farivar. Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 23:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. WP:DRV must be pulling verdicts out of a hat again. --Agamemnon2 10:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, I brought this article to DRV because of concerns about the process. After reviewing the content, I agree with Dpbsmith. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Sleepyhead 11:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Danny Phantom (character), as there's clearly no consensus to delete, noone wants the article to standalone, and several editors assert we need not move the text to the target. It is of course still available from the history if someone wants it. -Splashtalk 02:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ghostly Wail

This subject is covered on the Danny Phantom (character) page, so this page is superfluous. Delete it please. Jack Cain 00:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge into Danny Phantom (character), then. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as per King of Hearts Where (talk) 00:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Let me try again, it doesnt need to be merged into the other page, all the information present on Ghostly Wail is already included in Danny Phantom (Character), so I say all we need here is a straight Delete. Jack Cain 00:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator. No reason to merge, original article already says what is said in this one. JoaoRicardotalk 01:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amara's law

No source for who termed this "Amara's Law", too few Google hits for something technology-oriented. Looks like original research. JoaoRicardotalk 00:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep first result: [6] Tom Harrison Talk 01:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Tom - PC Mag is reliable --M@thwiz2020 02:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep has citations to literature and is very likely that if it is deleted someone will recreate the article later. It would be better to keep it for now and allow further elaboration when the time is right. Merosonox 09:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have heard of this, and I am not a technology geek. (Oh and google and citation etc) Batmanand 10:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Interesting topic. Personally I have different feelings about "PC Mag" but at least serves as a 3rd party source.

The result of the debate was there's clearly no consensus to delete. Even if I don't count the "votes" that weren't signed, Mr Denni. Harrumph. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 07:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lissaexplains.com

Lissaexplains.com was nominated for deletion on 2005-08-28. The result of the discussion was "keep". For the prior discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lissaexplains.com/2005-08-28.
  • Delete Fiftythree 13:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Vanity page, Advertising and self promotion. The article was 90% written by the girls mother and fellow administrator of the site. Hongkongdongle 20:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have no idea why this page was nominated. Notable, verifiable. From the site: My site has been featured recently in the Washington Post, and several other large newspapers here in the United States including the Chicago Tribune and the Wall Street Journal. It has also been featured in several newspapers all over the world, most recently (May, 2004) in the Malaysia Star. Ifnord 14:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Again, I'm puzzled by the nomination. The web site clearly meets Wikipedia guidelines for website notability as evidenced by high Alexa rank plus media attention by national newspapers. I note the nominator and several of the delete votes have only edits on this specific AfD which makes me suspicious of puppetry. Ifnord 17:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
      • In what way do you assert this article meets Wikipedia:Notability (websites) guidelines? Nowhere is Alexa rank mentioned. If this site's Alexa rank qualifies it for Wikipedia inclusion, then you, Ifnord, have a lot of work to do - there are 29,999 other sites to be added. You'd better get cracking. And then, at the end of that process, you will have made Wikipedia into a Web directory, in direct contravention of the guideline you cited. -Ikkyu2 09:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Aside from Alexa rank, the article meets Wikipedia:Notability (websites) guidelines. Media attention suggests notability (CNN, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post). Thomas 9:17 AM 28 January 2006
          • Disagree. The media attention was likely trivial puff pieces about a trivial, non-notable site. -Ikkyu2 23:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
            • You don't need to hypothesize what the articles are "likely" to be. They are linked to from the article, and you can read them. Uncle G 10:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep 30,713 rank on Alexa, great for a website made by a child. Ruby 14:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Vanity page -- If you view the history of the article, most was written by a relative. J8675309 20:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This newly created user has made three WP contributions, all to this AfD. Turnstep 04:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ruby. Children creating website is something uncommon. --Terence Ong 14:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The POV was pointed out in the last discussion about deletion, and most of it was written by a relative- if it's not popular enough to be written by someone that visits the site on their own accord, it probably shouldn't be here.
  • Delete per the above unsigned comment. --kingboyk 17:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC) Re-voting as the discussion has progressed and re-opened. --kingboyk 04:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non notable. -Ikkyu2 16:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I don't think an entry made by the girls mother should stay here really. The girls mother has been co-producing the website all this time, so it's not like it's entirely the work of a child, and the mother was probably also the one to call up the newspapers to do articles on her daughter.

    • Note from Lissa at Lissaexplains.com One requesting deletion is actually a moderator that I removed from my forum considering his heinous behavior - the site was created by me alone, and the article was written by members of my forum. Relative is no longer a moderator, and really has as much to do with the Web site as all moderators do. I, personally, have never touched the article, and only recently noticed a slanderous comment within the article posted by two members who left my forum. I ran an IP search within my forum, and four users here are ex-forum members. This is an obvious case of trolling. 3:58 PM EST 27 January 2006

  • This one is easier than most. Usually a lengthy search involving some effort is required to find the non-trivial published works from independent sources. In this case, they are handily linked to at the bottom of the article. (The article could be improved further by citing the initial article in the Australian newspaper, as well.) I've read the subset of the news articles that are actually legible, and they are not mere incidental mentions or web directory listings. The primary WP:WEB criterion is satisfied. Keep.

http://www.tuinslak.be/tmp/leia1.jpg Another user that editted the article was punished also: http://www.tuinslak.be/tmp/leia2.jpg Site owner admits it on the second screen. Two more users that either voted for delete or editted the article also went in problems. I think that the voting will be disturbed by these actions. If her site was good enough there was no need for these actions. This plus the other reasons stated above are clear enough for me.

Site owner banned my ip since she discovered my ip while i was editting my vote without being logged in. What a democratic voting proces! Dave83 16:23, 29 January 2006 (CET)

Comment. It wasn't vandalism. The article was updated to reflect the current state of the forum, and was factually accurate. Lissa is definately trying to influence the outcome of the vote by retaliating against those that vote against the article. I resonded to her first comment, but it was deleted. I pointed out that she was lying in her comments here, and since it was deleted, I feel as though she is being allowed to say what she wants (whether accurate or not), and nobody else is allowed to provide the truth- either because it will be removed or we will be retaliated against. If that's not "disrupting the credibility of the AfD process", I don't know what is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.49.0.178 (talk • contribs)

        • Sorry, I'm on neither side of that pound. ;-) I had checked the American Heritage pronunciation, but I was mistaken in reading it.

  • Comment I've been doing some research on the mall about some crimes that have taken place there. In the 1980s, there was a serial rapist that attacked women in the then-poorly lit parking lot. A man was tried and convicted, only to have his convistion quashed years later when it turned out that the DNA lab guy was a liar and a fraud. Furthermore, just a few years ago, a Marshall University student named Samantha Burns was kidnapped from the same parking lot and never seen again. Two guys have been convicted of her murder, but a body has never been recovered. Im looking to find more info before I spill any ink on the topic, since they are sensitive in nature and deserve the utmost care. Youngamerican 02:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable block of concrete filled with too many people, without prejudice to Youngamerican recreating the article with something interesting. 'Largest in the state' for me is a statistic, not a claim of notability, and if it was it would beg the question of where we draw the line. Largest in a county? Largest in a bit city? What population city? And so on. --Malthusian (talk) 11:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Youngamerican's response to Calton's opinion. West Virginia has few shopping malls in comparison to other states with comparable populations so most of them are notable in their own right. Oh, and I love how it's always an IP address (i.e. 64.12.117.10) that nominates articles for deletion...the real question here is which one of the above delete votes is 64.12.117.10? --Caponer 17:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as I have seen other shopping mall articles with much less information but because they weren't in West Virginia, but instead in some other more wiki-favoured U.S. state, were never nominated for deletion. It's the largest of its kind in the state of West Virginia, 'nuff said. --Rokafela 17:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The nominator was from an Aussie IP, so I doubt they have any preference for any particular U.S. state. Second, articles on obscure subjects in larger states are more common because those states have more contributors. However, that doesn't mean those articles would survive an AfD either, it's just that very few people ever come across them because they're either orphan articles, or no one cares enough to search for them. I think you are looking for bias where there probably isn't any. Peyna 17:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Bias on Wikipedia is present whether we like to admit it or not, especially when it comes to specific places and their equal representation. I don't see it so much as looking for bias as much as noticing and identifying it when one sees it. --TwilaStar 21:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for now, per Youngamerican's first comment: "mall inclusion should probably be the focus of a centralized discussion." Malepheasant 08:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for now, per Youngamerican and Malepheasant's comments...I coudln't have said it better myself. --TwilaStar 21:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete kingboyk 01:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC) I think there's good reason to imagine it is a copyright violation, but if that's going to be focussed on rather than the merits or otherwise of the article it would be prudent of me to strike out that 'charge'. --kingboyk 03:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Could you please name the website it is a copyvio of? --M@thwiz2020 02:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Possible copyvio, and not everything comes from the web. It's a direct translation of a magazine article ("Translated from Le Résumé Bat Student times"), which one might reasonably assume is subject to copyright! However, that's not the key point on which I am proposing it for deletion and I'm happy to strike out that point if it's going to complicate things. The point is, it's entirely speculative and at best is a merge without redirect, not being on a topic important enough for a seperate article, imho. --kingboyk 03:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. If Daft Punk adds new members and we have reliable verifiable sources to confirm this, it should be covered in the Daft Punk article.

[edit] WCRO Radio

Appreciate the enthusiasm but this appears too new and non-notable to deserve an article. wcroradio.com was created 09 Dec 2005. Google returns 12 hits for "WCRO radio". And the article is created by a new account named Wcroradio. This may one day be a notable webcast, but for now delete. Vslashg 01:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete -- nn internet radio vanity. - Longhair 01:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I disagree with your statistics. yes, I am the owner and yes we are NEW, but you saying 12 hits is almost comical. Here are the correct stats from my server. Beginning January 1, 2006 to today, January 28, 2006, I have received 8,809 hits to the main page alone. Listeners to the stream equals 6,234. New or not, if you recommend deletion for every single NEW entry, I don't see how anyone can stand a chance for submission. Wcroradio 01:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • internet radio vanity? I give the correct stats, which contradicts Vslashg's and you move to delete based on "internet radio vanity"? That is so lame. Even lamer? Longhair edited this page and made it a point to make sure his comments were above mine, especially after his comment originally fell under my first response. Go ahead and delete it. I thought it would be nice to have a listing under wikipedia, but after the hassle you all have given, it's not worth it. Wcroradio 01:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I was a little inprecise... by "12 hits" I really meant a search on "WCRO radio" returned 12 results. Also worth noting the page has no Alexa rank. Vslashg 01:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment As I said, delete it. But, it needs to be made known that it seems to be a popularity contest here and not "open" to "new" submissions, unless they meet a certain rank on Alexa (ever consider the no robots tag I use?) or a certain number of results via Google. Go ahead and remove the listing. I'll rely on my correct statistics and listener base. Can't wait to discuss this on the show. Maybe I can get Jimmy Wales to call in ... CHEERS!

      • Popularity is not the concern. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source. Until your web site has been the subject of published secondary source works, it is unverifiable. Wikipedia is not a publisher of first instance. You have your own web site for that. To satisfy our WP:WEB notability criteria, those secondary source works must furthermore come from someone other than you or your web site and must be more than trivial directory listings.

[edit] Objectivity (philosophy)

Subject matter requires original research Amerindianarts 01:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

The article has been nominated before, but "saved". "Objectivity" does not rate article space in Dictionaries of Philosophy or Encyclopedias of Philosophy, thus there is no standard outside of original research. The article's past has been for editors to concentrate on what individual philosophers call "objectivity". You can enumerate all the philosopher's versions of what they call "objectivity", but neither this compilation, nor individual versions, comprise or define "objectivity (philosophy)" as a term within the discipline. That is the reason there is no standard for a NPOV article.Amerindianarts 02:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Wrong. The term can be found in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy here. Lapaz 22:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
If deleted, this should be redirected to Object (philosophy) or metaphysical objectivism rather than an article about Ayn Rand. Chiok 04:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Redirect to Ayn Rand is not a viable option. "Objectivity" is a technical term. The article Objectivist philosophy is basically the position of an individual author using the term in a non-technical sense, and who is not recognized by most philosophers as a philosopher. The basic reason for deletion defies redirect to this article. Amerindianarts 04:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Chiok: Objectivity involves the truth and falsity of the things we say about objects. Objects cannot be true and false, so what would be the impetus to redirect to Object (philosophy)? The article on Intentionality would be a better candidate. Look at that article and access your reasons for redirecting to Object (philosophy).Amerindianarts 04:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm not convinced that Objectivity is exclusively about propositions. I generally think of it in perceptual terms instead. I also try to avoid the term 'objectivity' altogether as is it confusing and go with something like 'observer-independent' or 'agent-independent'. Sure, objects can't be true, but they might be mind-independent. Intentional objects are (agent-dependent) phenomenal objects that may or may not correspond to mind-independent or noumenal objects, so that's completely different. Chiok 05:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Objectivity involves a mental act. Objects may not be and I fail to see the real direct relevance about mind-independence. True, propositions may not exist, but objectivity requires a mental act and communication between at least two individuals. Unless, of course, you have some solipsist tendencies or a private language and can relate it to objectivity in an isolated mental event. I don't like using the term objectivity either and the reason I describe it as a "propensity to be objective" is because of the mental act aspect, and an intended object. Sure, they make objects mind or agent dependent, but the mental act is the nature of objectivity. Mind -independent objects seem to be of no consequence if they cannot be the intended object of a mental act, which is the essense of objectivity (distinct from objectivism). You otherwise run the risk of having it confused with forms of objectivism. Intentionality is not a form of idealism, it is a form of realism. Whether or not propositions exist is really secondary to the assumption that they may exist. Otherwise you lapse into forms of relativism, which is its opposite. I'm not overly concerned with where the article is redirected as I am with the prospect of it being reintroduced and mutilated and confused. If you check in Macmillan's Encyclopedia of Philosophy you will not find an article on "objectivity", but in the index to the eight volumes most references are directed toward language and intentionality, with little reference to individual philosophers or forms of objectivism. Amerindianarts 06:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
As a merely confused layperson- Objectivity is a technical term. - but not found in Encyclopedias of Philosophy - rather in what discipline is objectivity a techical term? Also - in lay views there are wooly(?) uses - which may at least appear to be philosophical in nature. My view is that even if philosophers have nothing to say about this term - the article may have merit just stating that. (Obviously this would be a special case). It is also interesting to see that the current article still sustains 20 odd links to it, and certainly not merely concerned with Rand. - I oppose deletion, but do not oppose a rewrite. (20040302 10:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC))
I tried to explain the problems with this term when you recruited me for a rewrite. Another rewrite will not solve the problem that it requires original research, and it is doubtful that a rewrite will be NPOV. Amerindianarts 17:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep  ::Amerindianarts - I am grateful for the good work you put into the article. It shines in comparison to what used to be there; my comment was addressing your own disgruntlement with the existence of the article, not an attack against the work you put into it. I believe that any article may be written with a NPOV. My belief may be founded on blind faith! I am aware of articles which have a community of editors who aggressively share a political objective - but I doubt that this article falls into that category. (20040302 10:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC))
  • Strong Redirect to Metaphysical objectivism. What this article is attempting to explain is closest to the concept in that article, not objectivism, regardless of the similarity of names. KrazyCaley 10:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
The current article distinguishes itself from objectivism. I think you are confusing the two terms.

Amerindianarts 17:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I do not think so. See for instance the quote "If they do exist, do they exist independently of the mind as do the objects of various objectivisms, or do they come into being when an object becomes the intended object of a mental act?" This is definitely setting up a sort of objectivity vs. inevitable subjectivity problem, which is just the sort of thing the metaphysical objectivism article deals with. We are talking about the quality of detachment, of a view on a particular object without the lens of subjectivity. I think the article is a bit too close to the metaphysical objectivism article, so my vote remains as a redirect/merge. I'd rather keep it than have it redirected/merged to the article on Objectivism, though. It really doesn't have anything to do with that. KrazyCaley 16:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with metaphysical objectivism. The present article has more substance than the latter, so a simple redirect is not appropriate. RayGates 19:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Objectivity means something, it may be important to find what exactly. Especially when Wikipedia's official policy is neutral point of view - in others words, objectivity. Philosophers have deeply thought about objectivity, and User Amerindianarts is wrong in saying that "each personal philophers's conception of objectivity should belong in their pages". Quite to the reverse, I'm sure it's a lot more interesting having philosophers' own definition of objectivity - which, minds you, is not like they're a thousand of them either!!! it is something which has been thought on at least since Plato and the emergence of scientific thought in Ancient Greece, as did François Châtelet for example show in his history of philosophy -, rather than a mix of Wikipedians' opinions on what it means - which is (i'm not even sure it's a mix though) what the article is like now. I find it quite incredible for someone to even discuss the fact that objectivity is linked to truth!!!!! This article should be given proper attention. It is quite ironic that Wikipedia hasn't yet thought it deserved it. Lapaz 20:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep no question about it. Better article and better title that metaphysical objectivism which now redirects to objectivism (metaphysics) --Salix alba (talk) 01:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as is--don't merge or redirect. Useful discussion, and useful counterpart to Objectivity (journalism), though maybe the two aren't as clearly distinguished as they could be. —rodii 02:22, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. "Objectivity" is a major question in philosophy (especially philosophy of science, philosophy of history, epistemology, etc.). Entire books written about it. It is not the same thing as Randian Objectivism at all. Now whether the current article needs to be rewritten is an entirely different question than whether the article should exist or not. Original research not required in the slightest; article should be a synthesis of major positions and questions in the relevant literature. --Fastfission 03:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank u Fastfission; so maybe we will be able to find some objectivity in the treatment of this article after all... About the precedent comment regarding journalism (objectivity): philosophy as no definite field, thus entails everything. This specific objectivity (philosophy) should speak about various fields where objectivity is important. Objectivity in sciences (maths or physics) is certainly different from objectivity in historic studies, which themselves can't be compared to immediate history, i.e. neutral point of view which makes US press standards.

The only substantial difference between the previously deleted article and this one is that the previously deleted article explicitly told us that the song was a hoax, whereas this article is a straight promulgation of the hoax. We would keep a hoax if it were a well-documented hoax (i.e. one that had been publicly debunked by reliable sources) and thus were well-known as a hoax, but in the earlier AFD discussion SirGeneral attempted to find such documentation and reported failure.

[edit] 40th Canadian parliament

Believe me I don't want to nominate this. I was going to edit it for accuracy, but then stopped because it seems so unsalvageable. To start with, it's purely speculation. There probably will be a 40th Canadian parliament one day, but when that day comes, will Harper still be prime minister going into the election, as the article suggests? What if Harper's Tories resign and the Liberals form a minority government without an election? It's happened before. Even if the Tories are still the government going into the next election, how do we know Harper will be consulting the Governor General as to when the election will be held, as the article says? What if Harper resigns or dies in office? That's happened before in Canadian history, too. Which brings me to my next point. This article isn't about the 40th Canadian parliament. It's about the 40th Canadian federal election, which already has an article. And that's because we don't know anything except that the next Parliament will result from the next election. Unless I'm remembering my politics wrong, and a switch in governments actually signals a new Parliament, but even then we don't know if that's what causes the next Parliament to be formed. Delete as either speculation or unexpandable, as a simple fact, namely that there probably will be a 40th Canadian parliament one day.

    • Let's not forget Category:Future events and Category:Future elections. Given the fact its official policy to exempt these types of things from the crystal ball rule (e.g. it gives specific examples of a future election, and future Olympic games), those wishing to change that policy, should pursue a central discussion to do so; rather than randomly AFDing individual articles, which are often not the "worst cases", compared to some others.

  • Keep. No reason to delete, WP is full of verifiable future events: US Congress, Olympics, solar eclipses, etc. This one hardly seems crystal ballish. Turnstep 20:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep So far no one has quoted any specific part of the Wikipedia policy to support their position that this should be deleted.

Qutezuce 20:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to 40th Canadian federal election. While certain specific future events may have articles, this is a thing which does not yet exist. This article will not be anything other than a placeholder until the parliament exists. Everything that could be here, will be covered at 40th Canadian federal election. So while we have U.S. Presidential Election, 2008; 44th President of the United States just redirects to that article, because no such things exists yet. While we have U.S. Senate elections, 2006 and U.S. House elections, 2006 we don't have 110th United States Congress. Peyna 20:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Okay, so the 110th congress article exists, but it's nothing more than the same thing that is on the election pages and probably would be a redirect if there was one article it could redirect to. Peyna 20:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - I also agree that this article should be deleted. After all, it is purely speculation right now, I mean, the 39th Parliament hasn't even begun its first sessions, and the MP's haven't even been sworn in either. For all we know, the Canadian government might completely fall in this Parliament and form the 1st Canadian Republic, not that I'm say it's likely to happen, but we shouldn't be speculating about events that we can't even place a date to. (Grizzwald 03:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC))
  • Weak keep While it's not a bad idea to get the perfunctories out of the way, particularly given the short-lived nature of the last government/assembly, this article is a tad premature just yet ... hell, the recently elected Parliament hasn't even met yet! I don't think we should delete an article that will be resurrected later, however. If it remains, it should be edited to generalise any notions therein (e.g., nix mention of Harper, etc.) E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 06:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Though a 40th Parliment may exist someday. It's still assumptious to say that Harper will still be PM by then (Harper could suddenly resign or die in office). Therefore since this article is based partially on assumptions, it should be deleted. GoodDay 17:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 40th Canadian federal election

Like the article up for AFD on the 40th Parliament, this is a pure case of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Will this election happen? Yes. But other than that there is no way to know when it will happen, especially since the 39th election is less than a week old! Let's at least wait until a writ is dropped, or Harper makes an indication he may call an election. 23skidoo 05:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I'm not sure how this is a pure case of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Specifically which part of it applies to this case and rules it out as an appropriate article? Wikipedia is not a crystal ball specifically mentions that 2008 U.S. presidential election is an appropriate topic, so how is the next US federal election any different from the next Canadian federal election? (other then one having a specific date and the other not) Qutezuce 06:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Personally I feel it is far too early for this type of article but this event will happen, much like 2024.
  • Delete. As noted on the Parliament page, this election actually may not happen, at least in the expected form, if there is a soveriegnty vote in Quebec and Yes takes it. I doubt it, but we have crystal ball for reasons of this sort. Marskell 08:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I can't believe this article is being supported. If that's the case maybe someone should create articles for the 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 44th ... we have to draw the line somewhere! 23skidoo 16:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Quite simple, we draw the line at the next election. Just make sure the article gives cites for any kind of speculation, etc. Quoting from WP:NOT:

Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. If preparation for the event isn't already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. Examples of appropriate topics include 2008 U.S. presidential election, and 2012 Summer Olympics. A schedule of future events may also be appropriate.

Homey 01:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep There are countless other examples of such prognosticating articles, it does not seem to violate any of Wikipedia's policies (the suggestion that predicting an election violates neutrality makes no sense to me), and (as has been said) this is a very precarious Parliament. --Otter Escaping North 15:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Supposed History of The Matrix Series

It was suggested that this article be merged into Matrix (fictional universe). However, I've removed all of the fan speculation in the article, and it now seems that there isn't anything left that could be transferred across to improve Matrix (fictional universe). So I think this one can now be safely deleted. Nick RTalk 05:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of films with unexposed contents

Pointless listcruft. I'd like someone to explain how this could possibly be useful. (If by chance this article is kept, the confusing title needs to be changed.) 23skidoo 06:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete about as indiscriminate as an indiscriminate collection of information can possibly be. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 07:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge. Possibly useful by merging into MacGuffin or another one of the articles within the category of Narratology. These unrevealed contents are all plot devices to make the mechanics of storytelling work, or to increase the narrative tension. At least a couple of items on this list are already represented in MacGuffin. Just a thought. --Lockley 08:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I created this list partially because neither "red herring" or "MacGuffin" properly covers this particular film device. The device is perhaps important only to film theorists and enthusiasts but it has a rich history in early avante garde cinema and became progressively more popular in mainstream films. The fact that it has been a device employed by a wide variety of important directors from a multitude of countries also lends it some legitimacy. I was unable to find a decent list anywhere else on the internet and so I decided to begin compiling one on Wikipedia. I am new to Wikipedia so if I'm violating some specific rules, please let me know what needs to change to meet the proper structure and boundaries. Walrus125 08:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - good beginnings, although introduction needs to be expanded. Essexmutant 09:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I had written up my explanation and then must not have saved it. Whoops. Anyhow, I think this list is great. This article is useful for anyone trying to learn about film devices. Also, how is the list an indiscriminate collection? The list is pretty clearly defined and not very vague: how is a list of films with an object whose contents are never made visible to the audience hard to define? It's a limited list that is verifiable and mildly notable. Folkor 09:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Firstly, Walrus125, thank you very much for joining Wikipedia, even if your first experience of article-writing has ended here! Your courteous response is much appreciated. I hope the people here who will disagree with you do not put you off. Anyway, keep, as it is a potentially updateable, not inherently-POV list, and is not paper. Batmanand 10:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a tightly-specified list, and the concept seems meaningful/useful for film studies. Nice one, Walrus125. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 10:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The list is well-defined in its premise and is definitely interesting and unique enough to warrant its own page. Kusonaga 10:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Possibly rename? Should probably have a link from Narratology. Dlyons493 Talk 10:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Good article. Glad to see Ronin on there. Cyde Weys 14:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to Unexposed contents (film) to talk about the plot device. If the list of films overwhelms that article, then split. Peyna 15:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • My vote is conditioned upon someone providing a cite or something to show that this is an actual term used in the industry or otherwise to describe this device. Google came up very scarce on the subject, which might me we are bordering on original research. Peyna 15:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Similarly I may change my vote and withdraw this AFD but only if someone can provde me proof that "things in boxes" -- which is what this appears to be -- is actually an aspect of film studies anyone cares about. None of these votes have convinced me. 23skidoo 15:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
        • I'm still waiting for some sort of explanation to indicate how and why "unexposed contents" has any value as a film term. I'm personally baffled. 23skidoo 15:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to Unexposed contents (film), as previously suggested. Jeff Silvers 19:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to Unexposed contents (film), per above. I've been realizing lately that there's a difference between listcruft-type lists and lists that actually have some analysis, and really should be articles rather than just lists. This is one. —rodii 02:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Move/merge per above, pending confirmation that this is the industry term. Nicely defined, unlikely to grow out of control. -- nae'blis (talk) 15:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all listcruft: Create decent articles, not lists :: Supergolden 17:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as seriously trivial article. It's partially listcruft and partially documenting a painfully irrelevant movie device. Stifle 18:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • "Painfully irrelevant"? Maybe film devices don't interest you, but they interest other people. This may fare better as an article with a list of examples, but still, it's an aspect of film worth taking note of. Folkor 20:02, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • If one is not interested in film theory, technique or history this may appear trivial. There are many fields that I am uninterested in, yet I regard the input of those studying in such fields to be of value. The price of tea in China DOES matters to those who drink large amounts of tea and live in China (and that is more people then one might guess). Walrus125 23:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - cover at McGuffin. Johntex\talk 01:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Either move to Unexposed contents or do not move, but do not delete: this seems a valuable article on a valuable device (speaking entirely without prejudice, I have never met this term nor have anything to do with it, but the article was really illumintating and informative.) You might think that List of ... something like above would be just a listcruft, but it is definitely not: it is really a good article. 131.111.8.101 01:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. The page duplicates information in pages such as List of Brisbane bus stations and List of Brisbane railway stations and the various pages for each interchange; I see little need to keep it. It is poorly written and inconsistent with the other articles. SM247 06:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was speedy delete as a combination of three criteria: vandalism, short article with no context, and attack page. Although each criterion is only weakly satisfied on its own, I take the view that in combination they warrant a speedy deletion. The article purports to give the expansion of an acronym that was coined (by my clock) just over an hour ago. Reviewing its history, I see that the article appears to be the fallout from a war that has spilled over from some other place into Wikipedia, as several versions of the article are attack pages on some pseudonymous people on some discussion forum. Clearly, Wikipedia is being mis-used as a public scribbling board by some discussion forum participants to write attacks on one another. For future reference, I also note that expansion of acronyms into phrases is dictionary article territory, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Uncle G 09:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adriana Rogers

Image:Adriennenesser.jpg
I found this photo of her with her husband

Delete. This is less obviously a hoax than the Adriana Brady page, but I still think the page is bad-faith. The body text claims this is an article for someone named "Adrienne Nesser", not "Adriana Rogers", and indeed some searching shows Adrienne Nesser is the wife of Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. However, Google News searches make the Slash rape charge seem highly implausible: 1 2. IMDB shows no record of either an Adrienne Nesser or an Adriana Brady performing in any movies. The history of this article reads like evolving fiction, and the future (in my opinion) bad-faith edits made by User:Billie joe121 point to hoax. Vslashg 08:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Apart from the dubious and potentially libellous claims about Slash, it claims she met Tre Cool at a Beatles concert. Given that he was born in 1972 and the Beatles broke up in 1970 with their last live concert being in 1966, this is obviously a hoax. Any factual information about Nesser can be outlined in an article on her if she meets the criteria. Capitalistroadster 12:13, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment- Adrienne Nesser may exist and be Billy Joe Armstrong's wife. However, this article still appears to be a hoax. Adriana Rogers, according to the article, would have been 10 when she helped form the band and been 15 when she married. The dates of the children's births and names are inconsistent with information on Billy Joe Armstrong. So, weaving one Nesser's name seems to be something to add some seeming truth. However, this "biography" does not ring true -- no verifying sources. —ERcheck @ 06:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't see why it should be deleted. The Board of Directors of GIC and Temasek Holdings number no more than 20 people and as far as the GIC is concerned and unlike the Hong Kong Monetary Authority which publishes its investments on a regular basis, the Singapore Government Investment Corporation, does not even account to Parliament for its investments performance, let alone its composition.[User: Singapore Citizen]

How lame! Since Wikipedia is not a soapbox, ALL entries should be deleted? [User: Singapore Citizen]

(Well, at least you didn't delete my comment this time. That's progress. I'm glad you're talking instead of vandalizing.) No, that just means that you can't use Wikiepedia to argue for a particular political position--an encyclopedia is for communicating facts about a subject, not inspiring people (except indirectly) to political action. Did you read the page I linked to? An article reporting, in a neutral way, about the makeup of PAP or the GIC--about which I know nothing, so please don't think I'm against you politically--would be welcome, and, who knows, having those facts out in the open may do more to make change happen than some random witticism like the Papareto Principle. The point here is not about what's good for Singapore, it's about what's good for Wikipedia.

Just to clarify, I have NOT deleted anyone's comments here. To Wikipedia ADMINISTRATORS: I am not into semantics as far as the title of the entry is concerned. Although what is stated is not verifiable, the content of the entry is CONSISTENT with the following FACTS: Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's Prime Minister from 3 June 1959 to 1990, then Senior Minister until August 2004 and now Minister Mentor, gave an interview, on the occasion marking the 20th anninversary of the GIC, to the Asian Wall Street Journal which published it on 22 April 2001. The AWSJ article listed the Directors of GIC - Government Investment Corporation of Singapore - for the first time, as far as I know. The then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong was NOT on the list of Directors of the GIC Board which was then, and I believe still is CHAIRED by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, with the then Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, who is current Prime Minister, and son of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, as the Deputy Chairman of GIC. Any rational thinking person would want to know why was it that the Prime Minister of Singapore at that time, Mr Goh Chok Tong, was not even on GIC's Board, since as Prime Minister he was the HEAD OF GOVERNMENT. Although the Singapore Constitution was amended by the PAP administration under Mr Lee Kuan Yew giving the President of the Republic of Singapore a DUTY to protect Singapore's reserves, the former ELECTED President who had prior to his election as President had served under Mr Lee Kuan Yew's administration for around 14 years with his last Cabinet post as the Deputy Prime Minister, had PUBLICLY let known that he was not given the list of Singapore's reserves when first taking office and it was only three and a half years later that he was given an incomplete list, with the excuse from the then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong's administration that it would take 56 man years to have a complete list. As for the veracity of whatever financial statements which might be available to the other Board Members of the GIC, no one really knows, as according to Mr Lee Kuan Yew in the AWSJ interview, the financial statements of GIC were "CHECKED" - PLEASE NOTE: NOT AUDITED - by the Auditor General of Singapore, who is a CIVIL SERVANT. Mr Lee Kuan Yew had been PUBLICLY reported to have said that the "PAP IS THE GOVERNMENT", which would mean that there was/is NO INDEPENDENCE. Incidentally, the Auditor General is Mr Chuang Kwong Yong, whose first degree is in PSYCHOLOGY and had been a civil servant since his graduation and later studied obtained his Master's in Business Administration. His last most senior ranking positions were as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Labour, which is now known as the Ministry of Manpower, and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Housing and Development Board. As far as is known, Mr Chuang had NO EXPERIENCE as an auditor before his appointment as the Auditor General, although the public do not know who in the Auditor General's Department, actually did/does the "CHECKING" of GIC's accounts and financial statements and to what degree of "CHECKING". Despite the huge losses suffered by a computer disc drive manufacturer, Micropolis, which was shut down within two years after it was bought with a total loss exceeding S$600 Million; and the accumulated loss of over US$1.0 BILLION, currently - although the loss of around US$750 million in FY2002 - suffered by Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, which is listed on NASDAQ and the Singapore Exchange, Ho Ching, the wife of the current Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong and who was directly responsible for the purchase of Micropolis and was directly responsible for the start up and management of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, was appointed as the Executive Director and thus EFFECTIVELY the Chief Executive Office of Temasek Holdings, which is responsible for the managing of assets worth around S$180 BILLION.[User: Singapore Citizen]

  • Keep. As per Walrus125, it isn't really that random. I also agree with Dylons493's suggestions. This is an interesting list that parallels the lists of films whose locations are thematically important places. It is a verifiable list and it is kind of notable. I wish there could be more sources, but if they don't really exist online, then using literature or the movie pages themselves should be fine. Folkor 00:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chip butty

in common with Bacon butty, this is unsourced and when it mentions meat and cheese, not that logical or factual. Also puts an importance on a foodstuff which is barely worth an article. Not notable enough and as it stands, this is a personal essay on what is a snack in some regions of the country - and original reserach is not liked round here. Delete vote. doktorb | words 11:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep: A chip butty is original research? Are you a southerner??? :-o lmno 11:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I am Lancashire born and bred, but don't think this, or the equally useless Bacon butty should be here. I've just read that Bacon and eggs is "culturally significant" which is yet more patent nonsense. This article is essentially "people in one region of one country put chips on some bread and eat it". It's borderline original research, without any references or citations, it's not notable outside a small region of the country. doktorb | words 11:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Has anyone actually nominated this?. In any case, keep; very bad article but definitely an encyclopedic topic. The Land 23:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Localism as a term is a widespread one, however there is neither in the article nor in the sources provided here or there evidence of the use of the term as a specific political philosophy. The references in the article do not even use the term; the Guardian link above defines it solely as "the proposal that everything which can be produced locally should be produced locally" without further discussion of the other issues that 'localists believe'. I don't think this article should be deleted (although it's a close call), but it does need to be considerably rewritten to emphasize that this is an amorphous set of philosophies that may or may not include the positions that the current article seems to imply are universal. In any case, it needs citations that link the term to the ideas, otherwise it is Original Research and should be deleted. Ziggurat 23:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Local artist. Notability not established. No major exhibits or reviews. —ERcheck @ 15:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Ghits only for artist listings, not major reviews or exhibits. ?Vanity entry? - contributing author has same last name and only contribution is this entry. —ERcheck @ 15:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Elena Roche: Please reconsider deletion. This entry would facilitate the public whereas Elena Roche receives inquiries several times a year from collectors trying to establish the identity of the artist vis a vis signatures "E. Roche" on their paintings. Elena Roche was the subject of a documentary that has been aired continually on Discovery Times Channel since 2003, and consequently she has been sought out by viewers. This listing would facilitate their search. Elena Roche has first page position in Google for her most pertinent keywords, for example: "floral watercolors" and "portrait commissions". Her website contains in excess of one hundred pages. In her "hometown" of Tver, formerly Kalinin, Russia she is a local celebrity. Thank you for your consideration. 24.176.195.165 04:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Warren Roche

This seems to just be an advertisement, and I don't think this article is notable to begin with. Croat Canuck 15:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • It is not an advertisment. This site has a history that people who visit are constantly curious about. There will be things added to it in the future. You have no right to delete it. It is not an add. If you don't like it, don't look at it! -Gunny, Runecrypt User —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.30.116 (talk • contribs) 2006-01-29 15:51:38 UTC

  • Comment I'm not deleting it, I'm putting it up for deletion, there is a difference. Wikipedians will vote whether it should stay or go, its not my decision. Croat Canuck 16:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but this link even fails to get a mention on the external links page of the Article it is about. Advertisment or not, it's not needed and should get deleted. J.J.Sagnella 16:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Seems like a borderline notable website, though the article does need a more encyclopedic tone. BTW, Runecrypt fanatics, please consider at least glancing at Wikipedia:Talk pages before posting a comment here. Dbtfz <small16:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, article about a game fansite with an alexa rank of over 200,000. Not one of the most visited runescape sites, no claims of notability in the article. - Bobet 16:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable by its own admission ("over one hundred members regularly visiting the site").--MayerG 16:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Looks ok to me, it's well written and informative. Who cares if it's not one of the most visited sites for Runescape? You definitely give a very bad impression when you admit stuff such as the "Liger" article and that stuff. That article is not an advertisement and it's informative enough. These people tell what it is, it's purpose and some background information on it. It should stay I think. --Cotusa 17:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The point though is if Runevillage's wikipedia article recently got deleted, and it has more traffic than this, why keep it? J.J.Sagnella 17:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • This article cites no sources. Searching for sources, all that I find are a multitude of submissions to web directories. There is no secondary source material upon which this article is based. It appears to be original research, a description of the web site from firsthand knowledge that is being first published in Wikipedia. There is no secondary source material from which to construct a verifiable encyclopaedia article that would be more than a web directory entry. Wikipedia is not a web directory. The WP:WEB criteria are not satisfied. Delete. Uncle G 18:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I am terribly sorry about the actions of my fellow crypters. I'm trying to edit the article now and I've eliminated whole sections of the article. I have started citing sources and following wikipedia guidelines. I can clearly see where you would think this was an ad, so I've completely changed the tone of the article. I don't know if I can change the article to conform to Wikipedia standards; it's written from as neutral a perspective as I can get, and research is backed by some sources, though it is not possible to verify some bits of material. Kevin; Original Writer
  • Keep Delete: There have been many improvements to the article on 30 January. These deal with many of the criticisms above. I would have voted to delete the original version (and the flaming above doesn't help its cause), but I think the current version is not a bad article. I don't feel qualified to judge about the notability of the subject matter, but that is often subjective anyway. If you voted before 30 January, you may want to reconsider your vote. -- Avenue 23:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I've changed my mind, having looked into the notability aspect more. Of the 5 fansites listed at the end of the RuneScape article, four of them have much larger membership than this one, and none seem to have articles on Wikipedia. So this one doesn't seem notable enough to keep. -- Avenue 15:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. The rewrite is great, but doesn't address the notability problem. I would like to delete the idiots above though. —rodii 02:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete. Actually, the article does meet speedy criteria. Tagged for recreation of deleted material (CSD G4). SYCTHOStalk 16:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as junk. Stifle 16:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
This is not junk, but if it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, say so. The author probably took an hour to write it, you hopefully took a minute to read it, and I suggest it's worth 15 seconds to give a real reason for deletion instead of just insulting the author, who contributed in good faith. ×Meegs 18:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete above comment is far too kind. 15 seconds is all it takes to see that this falls into WP:NOT. Definitely doesn't belong on WP - tells of books which only exist in author's mind. Camillus (talk) 01:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
As you may know, I am broadly in favour of userfying well-intentioned but naive articles (assuming good faith, obv.) like this and autobiographies, per WP:BITE.

[edit] Blue Mountains north of Grey Havens

Context is lacking, but this is apparently the setting for a level in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II. Wikipedia is not GameFAQs. Note in the LoTR: BfME2 article, there is a section called 'Game locations', but all the other wikilinked places have more background to them, whereas this doesn't. Apparently those are parts of the Middle-Earth 'universe', whereas this is just a game level.

  • This looks like another one that will test the "it's not a vote" aspect of AfD. Google news says nothing, and the links from the vanilla Google search are mostly just product reviews and thus do not indicate notability. This link indicates that there may be something in it, but for right now, delete as not notable and failing WP:CORP. - brenneman(t)(c) 02:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Brenneman. Too small to be notable. Dr Debug (Talk) 04:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Buffyverse-related topics

This is a recreation of the list deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Buffyverse articles. I feel like this should be grounds for a speedy.Dave 18:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep; a very comprehensive 'See Also' sub-page for the article Buffyverse and massive improvement to 'List of Buffyverse articles' which had different function. Although the Buffyverse articles can be navigated by category (and this page directs people to search by category if they prefer), the categories are divided into numerous sub-categories' this is the only a-z list of all Buffyverse articles on one page, a massively useful tool for Wikipedians reading about the Buffyverse. -- Paxomen 19:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Just discovered Dave is also trying to delete other items I have produced. For some reason Dave has had grudge against my contributions toward the Buffyverse articles, and has history of deleting/removing/changing whatever he can over past month. -- Paxomen 19:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This is not simply a recreation of the previous article that was deleted as is being suggested above, or a duplication of the category listing (see my explanation below for more details). -- Paxomen 00:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Paxomen - article duplicates category listing. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 19:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with Thesquire that we have categories for this, but we also allow for Lists and that is really what this is. I do feel the name should be something like List of Buffy-related articles. --Allycat 21:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The problem with that is that, as you said, is what categories are for. Plus that particular article already achieved consensus for deletion. Dave 22:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but Rename I agree with the proposal by Allycat above to rename. Whilst the Wikipedia categories are very useful, it is also useful to offer a comprehensive alphabetical list in one place, and Wikipedia seems to accept such lists in addition to categories.
The previous list was deleted because some non-Buffyverse fans considered TV show stuff to be 'fancruft', and also because the list was not even almost complete, it is now complete.
Should we delete the following lists?
They all already have categories, namely; color, economics, Hinduism, Japan, journalism, philosophers, religion, and sociology respectively (see here for more details on this and an example of how lists can be useful where categories aren't always conveniant.
Obviously having all articles in alphabetical order on one page can be useful and is encyclopedic. In fact check the following link to see dozens of more lists of topics, which already have categories: 'List of topic lists', but the existence of the lists remains justified.
The 'Buffyverse' category is divided into dozens of sub-categories, it divides Buffy and Angel very strictly, and encompasses a few dozen pages, all this can sometimes be extremely unuseful. This article up for deletion needs to be renamed to what seems to be already accepted by Wikipedia. According to that formula, instead of deletion this article should simply be renamed to List of Buffyverse-related topics, and also redefined in its opening sentences. I am willing to make such changes. -- Paxomen 22:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - User:Paxomen has copied the article in question to List of Buffyverse-related topics, in case anyone's interested in AfD'ing that page as well. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 01:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Renamed I don't think I've copied the article to that place, pretty sure I've renamed the whole article to List of Buffyverse-related topics including its case for deletion? That is twice proposed above to bring it into closer line with wikipedia policy. I used the 'move' button, made some edits, and linked the discussion pages. I believe it should bring it into line with other 'structured lists' like those here; 'List of topic lists', unless we believe we should start deleting the majority of those lists? -- Paxomen 01:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • This list seriously illustrates that our notability guideline WP:FICT is unfollowed. --Perfecto 03:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The whole basis for deletion is categories vs list not notability? Just was looking round Wikipedia and read this which is extremely important for this discussion; Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes. Amongst other things it says Wikipedia offers three ways to create groupings of articles: categories, lists, and article series boxes. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.. These methods should not be considered to be in competition with each other. Rather, they are most effective when used in synergy, each one complementing the other.. That link also contains 'Disadvantages of categories' and 'Advantages of lists':
Disadvantages of categories
  • Listings cannot be annotated (e.g. length of a river).
  • They cannot contain invisible links to talk pages, which cause edits to those pages to appear when the user clicks on "related changes". (Thus: [[Talk:ABCology| ]])
  • Red links to not-yet-existing articles cannot be added to categories.
  • Categories are not operational on most mirror sites.
  • Categories can impose a load on the servers. See WP:AUM for perspective.
  • Cannot include alternative names for the same item.
  • Newbies do not understand how to add an item, how to link new categories into existing schemes, or POV concerns.
Advantages of lists
  • Lists can be annotated. For example, a list of soccer world championship teams can also list when the championship was won.
  • Lists can include items for which there are no articles (red links); categories can only list things for which there are articles, unless stubs are created.
  • List items can be sorted using a variety of methods. An article can be listed several times or in different ways in the same list, or shown both in its major category as well as in several different subcategories, without cluttering the article with crossreferences.
  • Lists can link to items inside other articles.
  • Lists can include invisible links to discussion pages, so that clicking on "related changes" will include those. Format: [[Talk:Omphalology| ]].
This List of Buffyverse-related topics has the potential to have functions that categories simply cannot such as notes, invisible text, red links, recent changes, and discussion pages alongside articles. Of course 'lists' also have their disadvantages, and 'categories' also have their advantages, both of which are given on that link, but that's the whole point, both navigation systems can complement each other therefore just because one is in place should never mean the eradication of the other is required. -- Paxomen 03:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • It has that potential, but does it now, or is it likely to ever do so? As far as I can tell, no. Unlike List of Eagle Scouts, which is annotated, this is just a linkdump whose function is already dupicated by applicable categories. My vote to Delete stands -- Thesquire (talk -
That article is years old, yet you give this one less than a week? Here's what that article looked like after its first 2 weeks of editing back in January 2004: List of Eagle Scouts (Jan 2004). -- Paxomen 01:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
contribs) 08:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The potential expressed only needs to be actualised. Why not give people that chance? See if it's still the same in a month and put it up again if it is, I say. Kusonaga 17:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. As a list it is usefull. --Allycat (Talk - Contribs) 22:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per CSD:G4, redundant to the category, and Wikipedia:Listcruft. Stifle 16:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
The article Wikipedia:Listcruft was created by Stifle -- Paxomen 01:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, a single convenient list is obviously not redundant to a bunch of smaller categories. Kappa 00:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

It is too long. I think the information of a phenomenon as rich as the Buffyverse requires to be classified into more specialized categories, which should have links to the individual articles for each character, episode, species, concepts and analysis topic

  • List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes
  • List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics
  • List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels
  • List of Angel episodes
  • List of Angel comics
  • List of Angel novels
  • List of Buffyverse characters
  • List of Scooby Gang Members
  • List of Angel Investigations/Team Angel/Angel's crew Members
  • List of Buffyverse villains
  • List of Buffyverse demons
  • List of Buffyverse vampires
  • List of Buffyverse organizations
  • List of Wolfram & Hart characters (Wolfram & Hart has a pretty big list of related characters: lawyers, clientes, employees, freelance associates)
  • List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel concepts (The Slayer, Watchers, Gender issues, family dynamics, social issues.--Gonzalo84 22:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
That is true, however those articles already exist (except 'List of Buffyverse concepts', and 'List of Angel Investigations'(Angel's main characters presently are listed in a section on the main Angel page) why not also have the catch-all list available? -- Paxomen 23:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Paxomen has at least two points that have convinced me. First, there are plenty of other lists that are much less useful than this one (for example, List_of_Japan-related_topics). Second, Paxomen says he is willing to address many of the complaints that have been lodged against the page during this vote. Therefore, to vote to delete this page now is tantamount to purging an incomplete page on the grounds that it isn't very useful when incomplete. That is true of every page on Wikipedia! My personal preference would be to use categories and subcategories for this, because I won't myself find this page all that useful, but I don't vote to delete pages that I don't find useful. Perfecto pointed out that this violates the WP:FICT guidelines; this is true, but I think that the genie was out of the bottle a year ago and a deletionist philosophy will never win at Wikipedia. I'm a Mergist myself, but we can't have true Mergism until Wikipedia software can force an unadorned link to redirect to a subsection of another page. But that's another story.... Lawrence King 00:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - per Paxomen. Much more useful than the categories for someone wanting to look something up about the Buffyverse. --Cooksey 19:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
How so? Please provide an example of a time when you would need to find something about the Buffyverse and need an alphabetized list. If you already know the name of the topic, just go straight there. If you don't, then a list of a whole bunch of related topics in an arbitrary (as opposed to conceptually systematic) can't be useful. Dave 23:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Lists complement categories; "categories, lists, and article series boxes.. should not be considered to be in competition with each other" [WP]. List not arbitrary. All topics in one place, red links for unstarted articles, annotation, links to discussion/revision, alternative names for the same item... Also use of lists impose less of a load on the servers than use of categories, which is a very important point because wikipedia is becoming increasingly popular, and the servers are increasingly struggling to cope with being overwhelmed. For list of potential usefulnesses of list, see above,'Disadvantages of categories', and 'Advantages of lists'-- Paxomen 14:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Edited/Editing: Check out the article, I have added discussion, and history to each topic this kind of thing cannot ever be done with categories. This article can hugely benefit even more by annotation (although i have already semi-annotated many of the articles by using '|' after the link and using a more appropiate entry for the index e.g. 'List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes' is entered into the article as Buffy episodes to make more sense of the indexing system. Annotation, 'discussion' links, and 'revision' links are all impossible within categories, lists are supposed to complement categories and help the wikipedians to navigate topics. -- Paxomen 22:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I have only just begun the process of annotation, and feel that an annotated index with all topics in one place is seeming more useful than even i had imagined, there are hundreds of opportunites for cross-referencing between completely different sub-categories, yet because it's a list, the reader/editor can go straight to associated topics. Just one example is annotation has the potntial to link the Buffyverse actors to their characters, and the Buffyverse characters to those who portrayed them. -- Paxomen 18:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Redirect ... Oxford Street to House of Fraser. Move ... Victoria to Army and Navy Store - which was an household name and needs an article. This is the tip of an iceberg - AndrewSE19 has created several store stubs. Can we agree on Andy Saunders policy above. -- RHaworth 20:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] House of Fraser Victoria

I have created separate entries for the department stores Andy Saunders has nominated as both have architectural features, a wealth of history and an important place in the consciousness of local people which are unique to their respective locations. I would apply the same reasoning for their retention in Wikipedia to many other businesses which have grown from small independent shops to become a focal point of town and city centres and local communities. In the case of 'House of Fraser Victoria', whilst it might appear to be just another outlet of a retail giant, its history is in fact unique. For example, it was a main supplier of goods and services to the British forces in India during the 19th Century and similarly to South Africa during the Boer War. The store was established as 'The Army & Navy Co-operative Society Limited' and changed its name again before being re-named 'House of Fraser Victoria'. I believe it is sensible to write my entire entry for the store under its present trading name and not former names as its history is continuing. I am in the process of expanding the aforementioned stub. Please do not delete. Keep Andrew Fife 21:00, 29 January 2006

If anyone wants to come to Saint Louis and attend a blood ritual and let me drink your blood so you can know I am actually a real vampire please email me (I am always looking for new donors provided you are HIV negative, No hepatitis and No Staph) because I am very careful about my health and my donors health. You are more than welcome to fly to Saint Louis, Missouri and do so. My vampirism is in my medical record as well, unlike most so call notable vampires. The isbn numbers for my books are isbn 1-59971-040-4 and Isbn 1-59971-268-7. Just becaue you Andrew, ERcheck, Meegs, and Capitalistroadster do not know me personally does not mean everything on the planet earth is a lie. The are real vampires in almost every country of the world. Some live in tribes, covens like the Massai or maybe even right next door to you. I take great offense to you saying that I am a liar, you could have easily went to my web site and emailed me or googled my name and the word vampire before you took it upon yourself to call me a liar. Also if you put in the isbn for Exodus From The Den of Demons it does show up at Borders Bookstore Nationwide in the United States but I guess Borders is just a mom and pop operation. I can gurantee you that in the future if anyone adds anything about me to wikipedia I will ask that it be deleted because I do not like being called a liar especially when I am standing up for my vampire community who hates talking to the general public because of untrue hollywood movies, and folklore stereotypes that plagues the real vampire vice the myth. Funny how everyone wants to believe the folklore and the movies but actual real vampires are demean and belittle by strangers.

  • Comment: After writing the long message above, 777anton, the subject of the article, blanked the page [30] and moved it to her user page. I don't think it's a candidate for speedy deletion (it wasn't created by accident, and was created and edited by several anons who may be different people), but since the outcome is quite clear already, there's no need to pile-on deletion votes, especially disrespectful ones. I'm guilty too for my edit above, but these last two edits are nothing but personal attacks. It's fairly rare for article authors to actually brave AfD to defend their work, and this kind of response is a big part of the reason why. Civility. ×Meegs 05:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Meegs, her main claim to notability is that she is a vampire. If she actually was a vampire, she would certainly be a notable subject for an encyclopaedia, so the fact that she is not a vampire is, I feel, entirely germane to this discussion. I'm not going to defend Batman's wording though. --Malthusian (talk) 09:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Question Libby Hodges here says that if you go to St. Louis and let her drink your blood...that will prove that she's a vampire? How does that prove anything? I could drink blood...doesn't make me a vampire. I could drink gasoline...doesn't make me a car. I could go to a Bar Mitvah...doesn't make me Jewish. Just Curious.

Only two known meanings, a link before "Yuca" is enough. Harg 20:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Not a reason to delete an article. If anything Yuca should be moved to Yuca (slang) and the dab article moved to Yuca. By the way, Yuca is also a Miami restaurant, a band, a restaurant in DC, and the abbreviation for Youth United for Community Action. So there is likely to be more entries on a DAB page.

[edit] Sungazing

I wish this were somehow speediable. A low-content BALLS page. Vslashg 21:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I will add more content. And it does not make sense to me that there is a wikipedia article on Hira (since April 2005), a famous sungazer, but no article on sungazing. --Mmmsnouts 21:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment The Hira article doesn't mention sungazing at all, but I feel I must apologize. I thought the article as posted at the time -- Sungazing is the practice of staring directly at the sun to receive the sun's nourishment. -- was intended as a joke; I honestly didn't imagine it was something folks actually believed. But Google searching does turn up some pages on the subject. If you can site some references published from a reputable publisher per WP:V, I'll withdraw my nomination. Vslashg 21:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Nomination Withdrawn. I still think the whole notion of staring at the sun for nourishment is dangerous and silly. That said, there clearly exist communities that believe in it, and the author of this article is obviously acting in good faith. Article needs some NPOV balance but I withdraw my nomination for deletion. Vslashg 04:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Astemborski

Non-notable autobiography. Started by User:Mark Astemborski on December 15, 2005 (currently, all of that user's edits were made on that date). The content of this article appears to be the same as what is on his user page. Relatively small number of Google hits for "Mark Astemborski" reinforces my opinion that an article devoted to him does not belong in an encyclopedia. Delete. Joel7687 22:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ryan Ward

Non-notable person. G-test gives a bunch of unrelated hits for "Ryan Ward", and in combination with a keyword such as "Staatsburg", gives none. — TheKMantalk 22:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete Looks like someone just wants attention --Bugturd 23:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete. This was so tagged, until the article creator removed the tag, which further argues for its deletion. Daniel Case 23:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

My Opinion(from a local punk) I'm personally from Poughkeepsie and I know Ryan Ward and see him all the time. He's a very influential person through out the scene and everyone knows him. Hes friendly with pretty much everyone and has brought unity and solidarity to a shattered scene. I believe his article should be left up as a tribute to his work in the scene of dutchess county.

-Nick (rock the 2 litre)talk

We have a standard here, and that's all that matters to this debate. I'm sure he's a great guy. But there are lots of great guys who don't have their own Wikipedia articles. Simply "(bringing) unity and solidarity to a shattered scene" doesn't merit inclusion here. Daniel Case 23:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cyber Nations

To be fair, just because it's still in beta, doesn't mean it won't make to full stage. It has a large amount of growing players every day and it's quite possible it will continue. Just give it a while; if the game fails, obviously this will be removed. MattShipwrighter 23:04, 29th January 2005 (UTC)

Weak Delete I nominate this primarily since the game is still in Beta, and therefore may be somewhat non-notable. It looks legit, but it could be just a way to get more people to go to the site. Bugturd 22:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ages of Peanuts characters

mkay: this article is being considered for deletion because it qualifies as original research and is rather non-encyclopedic. the content was originally copied from the peanuts faq, to which i put a link on the peanuts article so people so interested can read about this and a hundred other bits of trivia. thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob A (talk • contribs)

  • Delete for the reasons listed on the article's talk page. The only advantage to having this as a separate article is that it gives Janet6 and her anonymous IP a place to post this information rather than repeatedly adding it to the main Peanuts article. --Birdhombre 20:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The main point of the article seems to be that the ages of the characters are rarely discussed (only a handfull of examples in a 50-year run) and aren't very consistent when they are. Therefore, it's pretty much a non-issue. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Archos av400

This article reads somewhat like an advertisement for an unremarkable product. I don't know what the policy of individual consumer electronic products but it doesn't seem likely that an article for every product needs to be created unless it is remarkable in some way, i.e. the iPod which is has become a pop icon.
