The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Speedy Merge per consensus below. There were no objections to a speedy merge and the original nominator agreed. A comment has been left at Talk:Residence Hall Federation linking to this AFD. BigDT 04:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Residence Hall Federation

Non-notable student organization (outside of Virginia Tech, I'm sure it's decently important there). Perhaps a mention in the Virginia Tech article is appropriate, but not this type of article that describes every division and committee of the organization. Metros232 00:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Seems to be an important student group as per nom. Probably better outside the main article although a merge might be ok. --JJay 00:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Weak delete 794 hits on Google, but a lot of it seems to be personal pages mentioning so-and-so served as president/vice president/etc. of the organization. Some other hits are from the Virginia Tech website itself. It doesn't seem to be very notable outside the Virginia Tech community.--El aprendelenguas 01:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Strong Delete Every college in the world probably has some organization like this. (I served in one a thousand years ago). We do not want to start listing every organization and student government body from every school. Fan1967 01:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Strong Delete Wikipedia is not a college campus info booth Bwithh 02:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep but cleanup. RHF is not just another student organization at Tech. It is one of the major entities in the university governance system. Many colleges have separate subpages for particular aspects of the school. This is no different. BigDT 03:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you name one school which has an article for its dorm council? Fan1967 03:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

No, but what level of importance do other schools' hall councils have in the university governance system? At Tech, our RHF is coequal with the SGA. BigDT 04:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

~~I think the point the user was making~~ I misread, so I'll say that my point is that the key to Wikipedia is wikilinks, interaction of articles. It would take the creation of articles on the dorm halls, which don't merit articles. Aside from linking to the university, this article would be an orphan. Give it a brief mention in the VT article, but it doesn't even deserve a merge. Te ke 06:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

As a point of information, there were individual articles for a handful of buildings on VT's campus. All except three notable ones have been merged into Virginia Tech campus and I am working to clean up that article. BigDT 16:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we need an article for each school's SGA. If a school has a high-profile academic program, that may be worth a separate article. SGA's and dorm councils are worth, at best, a section in the university's article. Fan1967 16:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete I've made my peace with allowing middle schools, I won't give in to individual university organizations. Not encyclopedic. Te ke 06:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I withdraw my objection above to a merge based on the general consensus here. I've created a section for it at Virginia Tech campus. Could the closing admin redirect the article to Virginia Tech campus? RHF is only at Virginia Tech - nobody else calls their "dorm council" RHF - and so VT's campus page is the logical place to redirect the article. If someone has a great objection to redirecting it to VT, the other place to redirect would be National Association of College and University Residence Halls, which, as the name implies, is the national organization for RHF-like entities. (Full disclosure: in case it isn't obvious, I'm a VT alum, though I was not involved with RHF - I was an RA and RAs were not permitted to participate in RHF because of possible conflicted interests.)

Delete per nom unless the article is changed to include the Residence Hall Association/Federation of every university. It is not notable when just for one university. --Strothra 23:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Motion to close as speedy merge - the most useful content has already been added into the appropriate spot on Virginia Tech campus. Because of GFDL requirements, the old article needs to be changed into a redirect with the history intact, which requires no administrative action. Does anyone have an objection to closing the AFD?

[edit] The Way The Church of Yahweh in Christ Jesus

The full name of this new religious movement is apparently 'The Way The Church of Yahweh in Christ Jesus', sometimes rendered with a dash between "The Way" and "The Church" and sometimes not. Searching on just "The Church of Yahweh in Christ Jesus" gets just 159 Google hits, and Google actually trims that down to just 14 when it eliminates similar entries. All 14 hits appear to be message boards or Wikipedia mirrors -- you'd think that if this was a notable denomination, we'd have at least one newspaper or magazine or journal article on it. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The Way The Church of Yahweh exists in The Los Angeles area. It began in San Bernardino California in late 2001. The article was started by Zarove who belonged to a Church of Christ.

The final editing and cleanup was done by User:Zanimum by an e-mail he received from me. It was no different than this article by The Christadelphians to which it resembles in beliefs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christadelphians

The Way The Church of Yahweh in Christ Jesus is not a cult like Heaven's Gate, the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh, Jim Jones and The People's Temple...to name a few who have articles on Wikipedia.

The founder of The Way The Church of Yahweh in Christ Jesus was vicepresident of Catholic Action in the Los Angeles arcdiocese in the 1980s. He has been a T.A. and mathematics teacher for the past 24 years http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Lincoln_HS/Egonzalez/. Among those he has worked with in the classroom are Mia Hamm in 6th grade washington Elementary in Compton, Venus Williams and Serena Williams at Foster Elementary, Warren Moon's mother-in-law at Foster Elementary. He ws also a clasmate at Mr. Simmon's science class at Dominguez High in Compton of Andre Young, known as Dr. Dre.

I know these things because my name is Elpidio Gonzalez. I am more of the intellectual type, not the emotional kind. I try to avoid contraversy, that is why I am not in the news like these guys were.

I did not submit the article. But what got me is the way is being handled since it appears I am classified as a cultist, spammer, or something similar. the article has been cleaned up...by Zanimum...It is in the same format as some others...but it seems you guys love contraversy. Probably your wish will come true.

I have saved the article and this talk for future references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.235.181 (talk • contribs)

Question Do you mind if I ask for future reference in regards to what? Te ke 06:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Followup The reason I ask is that the GFDL license doesn't always apply to these pages, for example my comments do not. So I was wanting to know if this was for personal reference or if you intend to do other things with it. Te ke 03:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I have reformatted your comments to help the discussion flow better. I hope you don't mind. (I didn't change any of your text - just compacted it so that the discussion wouldn't be so disjointed.) BigDT 03:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

It was no different than this article by The Christadelphians to which it resembles in beliefs. Well, that may appear true from your perspective. However, you may not realize -- we're not talking about the merits of the groups; we're talking about the merits of the articles. This means that it doesn't matter whether TCOYIJC is "a cult like Heaven's Gate, the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh, Jim Jones and The People's Temple" or not -- that has absolutely no influence on the decision. What is very different between your group and the others you mention is that for all those other groups, we can report what reliable sources say about them. That's because ... reliable sources are mentioning them. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I can see the 12 apostles have spoken. What am I to do. Yet, Micah 4:1 NIV

      In the last days 
      the mountain of Yahweh's temple will be established 
      as chief among the mountains; 
      it will be raised above the hills, 
      and peoples will stream to it.

gives me hope. This is my last comment on this subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.235.181 (talk • contribs)

- I corrected your citation - I hope you don't mind - that verse is actually 4:1, not 3:1. And, by the way, we have an article on Yahweh's Temple. BigDT 04:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VoteFair ranking

The term "VoteFair ranking" for the Kemeny-Young method is needlessly POV. Wikipedia's aim is to describe alternative election methods and not to promote them. Furthermore, the term "VoteFair ranking" is used only by User:VoteFair. This term is used for the Kemeny-Young method nowhere else. Markus Schulze 00:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment You moved the article to Kemeny-Young method leaving a redirect. So you are proposing deleting the redirect. WP:RFD is the route. Incidentally, comparing [1] with [2] suggests that it is a reasonable redirect. --Henrygb 01:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Question So, which is up for deletion, Kemeny-Young method or the redirect article? The latter needs to be taken up elsewhere (per Henrygb); if it's the former, the name above must be changed accordingly. B.Wind 06:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Thanks for fixing my errors, and sorry about the mistakes, but you do realize that those alone are no reason to delete the page. I'm not sure what you count as interesting though, since this is the guideline: Name at least three interesting and unrelated properties of the number. It does not say mathematical anywhere, and by my count there are at the very least two, if not up to four interesting facts on this page. -JesterJester (not logged in currently)
Keep. From my point of view, it makes no sense to delete this when we have Category:Integers with a happy percentage of the other integers we know and love. Is 270 less deserving than 269? Or 155? How about -40? I don't think so. The nom seems to feel that some numbers are more important, or more notable, than 270. I'm not sure why that should be the case. Aren't they all equally important as abstract representations of an underlying reality? As such are we in any way equipped to differentiate between the notable and not notable? If these questions all have simple answers, perhaps we should make this a group nom to eliminate all the less important integers that are weighing so heavily on the reputation of this reference work. --JJay 04:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Boring number, all properties listed except perhaps being an Ore number are not interesting. I'm getting tired of these senseless articles being created, and for the life of me I can't understand why a serious user would vote Keep. If it were up to me, we wouldn't have 269 either; it is listed under 200 and that is good enough. Please understand we need to stop somewhere; why should we have to endure debates as for 37564, 31999998, 99999999 or 10061092961? There is no end to it. --Lambiam^Talk 04:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The deletionists were still howling their tired old "numbers are infinite" argument. So WP:NUM went down to 200. The deletionists are still harping on the "numbers are infinite" argument.

Keep. Appears in one core sequence of the OEIS and 63 nice ones (excluding sequences with keyword base). That it's an Ore number and the number of square permutations for 6 elements constitutes two mathematically interesting properties, while the fact that it's the minimum number of Electoral College votes needed to be selected U.S. President is a culturally interesting property.

Extended definition page that doesn't fit into an encyclopedia. Transwiki, perhaps? fuzzy510 01:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

weak keep seems slightly more than a dictionary definition even now, as it goes into variations and whatnot, perhaps beyond the scope of what a dicdef would cover, and there's room for expansion. Also it's got quite a few inbound links so it seems like a useful article. --W.marsh 01:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep: a stub at the moment but it seems like it could be expanded or edited into something a bit more appropriate Christopherlame 06:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Already covered at Wiktionary [4]. Peyna 18:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it has one line in a long list of definitions, or far less than our article. It also has one line on thermal energy. Should we delete Heat or maybe Heat (disambiguation) ? --JJay 19:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Just because someone used a lot of extra words to say the same thing Wiktionary said in one sentence doesn't mean there actually is any more information there. Peyna 19:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course, where some see extrapolation, pertinent details and explanation, others see extraneous verbiage and unnessary bla bla. I mean, why let details get in the way of knowledge and understanding? Maybe we should strip down the wiktionary definition even further to something like heat= preliminary race. That would seem to sum it up in three words rather than their obviously long-winded eleven. N'est-ce pas?--JJay 19:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Transwiki or Delete Too early to say, so transwiki to Wikinews or delete. If he turns out to be a major figure in the public eye, recreate the article. I mean, I doubt the "Toronto 17" who were arrested hours after the two guys in London will be getting their own individual articles (and they shouldn't based on what we know about them so far, and assuming they're guilty) - heck, they still havent even been mentioned on the wikipedia Main Page headlines yet (which they should be). How does the arrest of two minor terror suspects make them more significant than those caught in the arrest of 17 minor terror suspects? (I'm using minor in comparison to major terrorist figures obviously, not the seriousness of their suspected plans). (btw, How on earth is this a "maybe vanity" article?)

Transwiki to WikiNews. Too many "according to"'s and "allegedly" and general speculation to be an encyclopedia article yet.

Keep, has potentially very significant implications about the controversial "shoot to kill" policy. Absolutely do not delete. ("Vanity"?!?) PizzaMargherita 15:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment what implication? the police reportedly abandoned the "aim for the head" policy here due to the de Menezes scandal, and aimed for the upper body instead. I find the way the article puts the shooting allegation above everything else a little strange and POV incidentally. Bwithh 16:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - This is news to me, could you please point me to a reliable source reporting that the Met have officially abandoned shoot to kill? You may want to add it to the de Menezes article. I'm very interested. Thanks. PizzaMargherita 16:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - Anyway, to answer your question. De Menezes, bad intelligence. Alpizar, no intelligence. Kahar, potentially very significant implications. PizzaMargherita 19:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    - According to this Independent article, the headshot/lethal force policy is only for suspected suicide bombers. Otherwise its a shot to a torso http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article624165.ece Bwithh 22:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
      - ...thus confirming that shoot to kill has never been abandoned, especially not because of the de Menezes incident. Not surprised to be honest. The reason to keep STK is clearly political, the day STK goes, Ian Blair goes. Anyway, point taken about Kahar arguably not falling in the category for which STK is applicable, though I'd disagree.

Transwiki to Wikinews, its not an article but a news report. --Ter e nc e Ong 16:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
keep or combine, we need to wait and see how the events pan out. There is some info at Forest Gate and it could be combined with that or added to an overall article about the events of 2nd june. The events need an article of their own surely, 2 June 2006 London Terror Raid as an article name anyone? talk • contribs) 18:24, 4 June 2006
- Comment Every news event doesn't need an article of its own on wikipedia. That's what wikinews is for. Wikipedia can have "many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news" (from WP:NOT) but is this event historically significant? Remember, "Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete." (also from WP:NOT. Regards, MartinRe 18:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - comment ok, well can we get a consensus on combining with forest gate or moving to an article about all the events? i don't think at the moment it warrants its own article. We could place it all on forest gate and see if it evolves into something significant. I feel this is important enough to warrant some entries on the forest gate page at least Pluke 18:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    - I think that's a good idea. Crum375 19:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    - Yes, a separate article is badly needed, as some info doesn't really belong to either Forest Gate or Mohammed Abdul Kahar, e.g. this reference. I'm fine with the proposed article name. In fact, we may want to redirect Mohammed Abdul Kahar to it for the time being. PizzaMargherita 09:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

the page: 2 June 2006 London Terror Raid has been set up to bring all the info together, please help work on this page and we can then redirect Mohammed Abdul Kahar to the new page. This gives us the chance to move him back here if his details become any more significant. The new page needs a lot of work so please help.Pluke 10:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Unless anyone can give me a good reason to keep this article as it is, I will redirect to 2 June 2006 London Terror Raid tomorrow. The linked article already contains a section dedication to Mohammed Abdul Kahar which was copied and expanded from here. If Mohammed Abdul Kahar becomes a more significant figure in the near future we can always move that information back to his own page, but at the moment i think this is the best solution. Comments?Pluke 21:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that would not solve the concerns I (and I believe others) had, in that this is too fluid with sources that are too liable to change, hence the transwiki to news. Simply moving the same information into a separate article doesn't address that in my view, as it's the fluid information than needs transikifiying, not the article title. Regards, MartinRe 21:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Pluke, by all means go for it. I was convinced that was already done. Info duplication is bad as it induces forking. PizzaMargherita 05:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep, pending further information on the case. Personally, I don't think this affects the Met's shoot-to-kill policy at all, as Kahar was shot during a police raid. He also was shot in the shoulder, not in the head; he is a terror suspect, not, like De Menzies, a victim of circumstances (and, of course, of the Met's decision to implement Kratos).

Pending further results, I'd opt to keep the article (albeit with improved sourcing of information given in the article). If this case does not develop in a way worthy of encyclopedic mentioning, merge with 2 June 2006 London Terror Raid (or simply redirect, as the text has already been incorporated).

"Keep" - I thought the idea of wikipedia was that anyone or anything of any significance could be looked up. Mike Smith is a leading member of a political party and leader of an association aimed at changing our politicial spectrum from the current one dimentional - same government (no matter who you vote for) - to a multi-dimentional conviction political spectrum we all need if democracy really does exist and isn't just part of some alice in wonderland lie! If this gets deleted, then I'm going to expect that similar artciles on other leading political activists and commentators be deleted (mmm who should we start with?).

Keep. It is saying something when I, as a Leftist, defend the right of CDA figures to have entries on Wikipedia, but I feel I have to. "Homey" has made sneering anti-socialist, the-free-market-is-the-answer-to-everything remarks which make me, as a Leftist, hate him/her far more than traditional conservatives who at least aren't Thatcherite cultural vandals. As is often the case these days, what unites people like me with traditional conservatives, against the new centre ground, is greater than what divides us ... certainly, I feel that Homey's obsessive personal agenda is irrational and wrong-headed. We should not be deleting articles about people just because they aren't ultra-populist Americanisers, which I think is Homey's real motivation (he/she would, judging by the remarks I quoted above, be just as likely to want to delete articles about traditional socialists such as myself).

Transwiki, article is vanity. Story could be the subject of a Wikinews article but it doesn't justify a Wikipedia article. - Motor (talk) 09:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I am the subject of this article, which I did not instigate. I believe that the original article was written by JASpencer, a Conservative Party activist who is not a supporter of CDA and subsequently augmented by others.

Whether or not the article remains or is edited or deleted must be left to Wikipedia. I would simply comment as follows.

Firstly, you may feel that notes on the Chairman of CDA are relevant to anybody researching the CDA article on Wikipedia. You may also feel that the references to the landmark internet libel action Keith Smith v Williams will be of use to internet law researchers.

Secondly, I have reviewed the current content of the article and find no falsehood in it. Providing 'citations' even for such mundane matters as (eg) my membership of the RICS, is less easy than it sounds.

Thirdly, recent 'vandalism' of this article appears to have been instigated by Tracy Williams, the loser in the recent landmark action Keith Smith v Williams and her associate Ed Chilvers, who has indeed published on the internet an abstract concerning what he believes to be the 'facts' of the case. http://www.lvl9.org/article.htm. You may gather from this that there is bad blood between Chilvers and myself.

As to the motives of Williams and Chilvers, you must draw your own conclusions from these facts.Mike Keith Smith 10:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I think this meets the requirements for notability through being chair of the CDA and the manner of his leaving the Conservative Party. David | Talk 10:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete: The Conservative Democratic Alliance describes itself as a pressure group that in reality stands candidates in other parties like UKIP as the Chairman Mike Smith did in the last UK General Election, therfore unless the Conservative Democratic alliance has made some real political achievements I believe the entry should be deleted, one reason is because it is not accurate as it does not explain Smith's role in the CDA honestly, and two it reads as a self-promoting vanity PR exercise.

COMMENT

" but I feel I have to. "Homey" has made sneering anti-socialist, the-free-market-is-the-answer-to-everything remarks which make me, as a Leftist, hate him/her far more than traditional conservatives who at least aren't Thatcherite cultural vandals. "

You can't ask for an entry to be kept just because you 'hate' the admin guy. Get real.(—Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.13.238.150 (talk • contribs) )

Comment: but its fine for the admin guy to 'hate' all these various figures and groups on the British Right and call for their deletion or demonisations? Oh, good. At least thats clear. Sussexman 08:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: And who do we know from Sussex??? Don't be such a drama queen, Smith's entry is up for deletion because he is a nobody in respectable British politics, he is an attention seeking right winger who spends most of his time posting a variety of rude and obscene messages about the Conservative Party and its leadership on his own message boards. If he was well known in respectable Conservative Circles as you put it, he would be listed in the search engines as being 'A well known respectable Conservative, but he is not. Most entries deal with the Conservative party dumping the right wing Monday Club to shake off its racist image, and Mike Smith setting up the CDA in an attack on the Conservatives's cleaner and respectable image.

Delete: I agree with the previous entry. Wikipedia is not a forum for personal views and should not be subject to the kind of huffing and puffing that is contained in Mr.Smith's entry which is basically not much than a list of dinner appointments and letters to the editor. Important though all this "much ado about nothing" may have been to him it is of no interest to the wider world.Endomorph. *Comment: If one believes Mr Smith's supporters we deletionists seem to span the entire political spectrum. On Smith's CDA Forum we are described as " Far left activists and traitors" and "the combined forces of evil" Yet General Kongo above believes that we are "certain capitalist elements" whilst Barry believes that we are "politically motivated PC types". If this is true then we are disparate indeed but we atleast have one thing in common,the belief that Mr Smith's outrageous example of self-promotion is unworthy of Wikipedia and should be deleted.Endomorph

Comment: Mr Smith is not a "leading figure of the Tory right". In fact he is not even a member of the Tory Party having left some years ago when they failed to measure up to his pristine standards. Mr Smith is the leader of the miniscule CDA a right wing pressure group which exerts no pressure, is generally unheard of and which, when it is so, becomes the subject of mockery and derision.

No vote As I'm the author, I'm bias, so I'm not going to vote. However my logic was that there are: 1,680,000 Google hits for "double post" and 605,000 Google hits for "double posting" proving that it is a widely used term and I believe it can be expanded beyond being just a definition by showing how double posting is recieved on different forums.--SeizureDog 02:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep, broaden scope, and expand. Beyond a simple dicdef, there's a social aspect to this. However, forums are not the only place where this type of thing happens. Double submissions happen with all manner of things: reservations, purchases, registrations, etc. So, what might be better is to rename the article to something more general and cover this broader range of conventions. Discussion as to what kind of software mechanisms are sometimes used to avoid double submissions would be a worthwhile addition to the article. – Zawersh 06:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete, if there were some sort of common fictional thread it might be worth expanding and saving, but it's less notable than 555 telephone numbers. --Dhartung | Talk 09:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
But 555 phone numbers have their own article.Spookyadler 12:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Yes, but I think the point Dhartung was trying to make is that the fact that there are a lot of 555 phone numbers in movies is not conincidental. The fact that there is a television network named the Union Broadcasting System in two movies seems to be coincidental -- maybe if there were some evidence that it isn't the article would be more worthy of inclusion.

Vanity article about a marginal figure whose main contribution seems to be writing letters. Replete with original reserach. Homey 02:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

ATTENTION!

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus among Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

Nonetheless, you are welcome to participate and express your opinions. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

I vote Keep. It is irrelevant if Millson is noteworthy. The article sheds light on the politics of his times, and it should stay as long as it if factually true. Edwin Hale

Keep: Millson is, in his way, a prominent political figure who has become a mouthpiece for a certain movement and way of seeing the world which feels that it has lost the other representation it once had.

[edit] The Esplanade Mall

This article was proposed for deletion and the tag was removed, all it really is, is just a lengthy list of stores that exist at a mall. Also, this seems like an advert, Delete Yanksox 03:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep The author is trying to create articles for all the malls in the New Orleans area, but isn't much of a writer. I have already edited Clearview Mall and will work on the others. There are many articles on WP on shopping malls worldwide. NawlinWiki 03:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I agree with Rehcsif that more info is needed besides a list of stores. Give me a day or so to search news articles and see what I can find. (What am I getting myself into??) NawlinWiki 04:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete Even the cleaned-up version (of Clearview Mall) is simply a list of stores. If the article were to contain additional information, such as history of the mall, significant stores that have come and gone, significant events held at the mall, etc. I'd say keep. But if I want a list of stores, I can google the mall's own website. See Southdale Center or Mall of America for a good Mall article of a significant mall (interestingly, neither of these contain a list of stores). --Rehcsif 03:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I just find it deeply troubling that pages about local malls are being created, that has a severe lack of notability, and could also run into advertising. Just because there are other pages that exist like it, is not excuse for keeping one up. If we did that, AfD would be almost useless. Yanksox 03:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Deleted on first AfD and then recreated. He hasn't gotten any more notable to my knowledge, and the article doesn't give help by way of sources. Crystallina 03:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - The man has obviously garnered a significant enough following to earn a Wikipedia article.

Keep - Do a google, you'll find lots of pages referring to him -- and evidently he was even on David Letterman for this video. If Letterman thinks he's notable enough to show to the whole USA, he's probably notable enough for WP. Man, that thing is painful to watch tho... --Rehcsif 04:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you think all the animal stars from Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks" should be in Wikipedia too? This Brian Collins essentially has the same notability and function Bwithh 04:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Not exactly -- he was also an internet phenomenon. See also Carson Williams, for example... --Rehcsif 19:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing the only reason he was on Letterman is because Letterman was once a communications major at Ball State like this poor fellow. Show up at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in a BSU t-shirt and you'll probably be on TV too. Not notable enough to warrant an article. Peyna 18:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

No, that's not correct. The consensus last time was 80+% delete. Most of the keep votes last time were from anonymous IP addresses with one from an account with 10 edits in his history.

[edit] Women sports announcers

Serves absolutely no purpose. It could certainly be expanded, but it would almost have to be in the form of a list, and there's already Category:Women sports announcers. fuzzy510 04:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete: eminently pointless. --die Baumfabrik 04:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Speedy delete - no need to debate the validity of a Wikipedia article with this name. The article under discussion is essentially empty (the "see also" is basically window dressing; as Baumfabrik amply puts it, pointless. B.Wind 07:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Jungworld.com 17:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete and slightly merge to whatever article covers the Katrina disturbances. Malls are NN. Events occurring therein get their own articles if notable. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 19:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete The mall is no more significant than any other mall, and is no more significant for having survived a natural disaster that affected a very large geographical region (and thus, lots and lots of otherwise common malls). It's just a mall, folks. No one will ever have a reason to research this, and it's a good example of Wiki Gone Bad. Additionally, there are probably a thousand malls in America alone called Lakeside.
Keep. Regionally significant mall, oldest mall in area's second largest city. Calwatch 06:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- Comment. It seems like a good game, however the problem is that Wikipedia is only for articles describing people and things of great importance/notability. Unfortunately this game of yours is not quite notable enough for Wikipedia. Please do not take offence from this deletion. You seem to be a civil user and you would make a good editor. Please feel free to help out by contributing to other articles. Have a good day. :-) DarthVad e r 09:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Featured in various fechtbuchs, though I don't know of any translations of the wrestling portions online. More information available at The ARMA. --Fean 06:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable person; top result on Google search is Wikipedia article. Freddie 01:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Notable person; well-known in Western martial arts circles. There's a lot in life you can't find on Google, you know. Ken

Ott Jud is one of the most important grappling master in Western Martial Arts. Many of the fight books of the 1400s and 1500s describe and illustrate Master Ott's grappling techniques. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.39.29 (talk • contribs)

Keep. Expand, if anything. It looks to me like 71.244.39.29 knows a thing of two about Mr Jud, and I'd like to know more about him. In any event: no reason to dump him other than the article is short of content, and that can be ameliorated. Deaconse 04:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep...There is a trend in the Martial Arts community over the last decade to delve into the traditional arts of Western Europe. This has coincided with the translations of many period manuals. Ott is well known as a wrestler, and students of both western martial arts, and eastern systems, such as Judo/Jujitsu use sources such as Ott to determine the history of grappling techniques......where certain holds originated, and what variations were common between the different styles.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.177.96.38 (talk • contribs) .

Delete fan-created unsourced neologism. Information duplicates book summaries. Rain74 14:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't quite understand this. "Fan-created unsourced neologism" roughly translates to a new coining of something (namely, "Second War"), which is not sourced by the books and instead created by fans. Please read my explanation in my vote below to see why this is utterly wrong. --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 14:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - Sorry for my short explanation. The article is basicially a short summary of books 1 to 6, focusing on the war against Voldemort, which is the main plot element of the books anyway. As such, all the information is already available on character pages (particularily Harry Potter (character) and Lord Voldemort) and pages about individual books. That's why I think this article is redundant. Rain74 15:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Superstrong transwiki to b:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter. WP:NOT paper either. This is valuable information of the battles/showdowns between Harry and Voldemort that take place within the current timeline of the series (between PS and HBP). I don't believe it belongs in Wikipedia either, but the information is vital to the series understanding and belongs somewhere in WP's compilation of Harry Potter stuff. This is not "fancruft" either, please watch your terminology. "Fancruft," by definition at WP:CRUFT, is "content […] of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question." This would imply this is a minor thing which HP fans like to see on WP. It is not. It is a selection of key events in the series. Please take note of this as you vote. Thank you. (PS: Wikibooks is a bit lacking in information as well, and this would be a good boost to their plot section.) --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 14:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- You don't need the AfD process to transwiki. Go ahead and do it if you think it should be done. I am sure the closing admin on the first war's AfD will gladly allow you to see the contents of the deleted article so you could transwiki it. The question for us here is whether to retain this on WP. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 16:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology

This article is about a joint degree program at a single university. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. An individual academic program at a university is generally too narrow a topic to warrant an article of its own. I recommend a delete. --Metropolitan90 05:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. This appears to be nothing more than an abbreviatied college catalog description, somewhat in the nature of an advertisement or recruitment materials. There does not appear to be any historical, social, academic, or political accomplishment or achievement of note atributable to this program. Not that it's a bad program, it seems perferctly fine, but it's not appropriate for an article. Ande B. 06:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC) Alternatively Redirect to Wharton B School page as discussed below by Alex S, who has cleaned up the article quite a bit. Ande B. 01:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete, per Ande B. - Motor (talk) 12:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The Wharton School is considered by many to be the best undergraduate business program in the world. Information from the program's website [6], [7] shows notability in its faculty and in the accomplishments of its alumni. This is clearly a program with an international reputation and impact. Should not be deleted. If necessary, should become a redirect to the Wharton School. --Alex S 02:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Response I'm aware of Wharton's reputation. If WP has a practice of including coverage of programs within articles covering educational institutions (seems sensible enough) then a Redirect may be the best resolution. Ande B. 01:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete per Ande B. Deleteme42 11:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Edited the page for NPOV, notable facts, and general cleanup. I think it's also noteworthy that Metropolitan90 is nominating this article for deletion because he believes that Ivy League programs in general are not notable ([8]). "If you find any Ivy League affiliated joint degree programs with individual articles in Wikipedia, let me know and I will submit those articles for deletion too." --Metropolitan90 01:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC). Wikipedia has 87 articles on fictional Japanese giant robots, I think it has room for programs that produce many of our country's future leaders, in business and otherwise. --Alex S 17:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. My objection is to joint degree programs in general having articles, not to Ivy League topics. After all, if a university offers n different degrees, it could have up to 0.5n² - 0.5n different joint degree programs, and I don't see the need for that many separate articles. --Metropolitan90 02:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment in response to Metropolitan90: Could. But the fact is, they don't. Penn, which is known for its emphasis on interdisciplinary programs, has only five. Most universities have none. --Alex S 06:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment in response to Ande B.: Take a look at the Harvard#Residential Houses and Yale#Residential colleges. If each house at one of these schools merits an article, then certainly each program within such a school merits an article. --Alex S 06:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - 1) That "An individual academic program at a university is generally too narrow a topic to warrant an article of its own" is a point of view of your own. hundreds of people apply to these programs and having been one of those i would dearly love to see an objective source about it other than from its own website and very dubious entries on collegeconfidential. 2)"This appears to be nothing more than an abbreviatied college catalog description, somewhat in the nature of an advertisement or recruitment materials. There does not appear to be any historical, social, academic, or political accomplishment or achievement of note atributable to this program." that could be because nobody has put any in yet, or it is still too early, call me biased but i am sure at least some kind of "accomplishment or achievement" will happen sometime in wikipedia's lifetime and should a wikipedian wish to record it down he will happen upon this article. something that doesn't meet standards for an article now doesn't mean all of it should be deleted. don't throw the baby out with the bath water. 3) the last argument that there could be too many JDP's to cover as wikipedia articles... well.. i hear alex S on that one. actual PEOPLE spend years going thru these programs and even more years after seeking employment and a place in society based on the credentials and experience they gain from these programs. It is a life changing decision to join one, and i would at the very least prefer a resource on wikipedia to research. the seeming consensus on redirecting it to the wharton page where there it merely mentions "Wharton Undergraduates may pursue a dual degrees in engineering through the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology (M&T) and international business through the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business (ISB)." is not going to help a lot. and yes i declare my own interest in this to the extent that i have gone and put up a huntsman article, which is far from perfect (i am quite new to this) now but could be a lot better with a lot more work. go ahead and list it for deletion if you want, but i hope more people support me on my rebuttals of points 1-3 and find that it actually does deserve an article by itself. over to you. ahwang 03:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

- hm noted. didn't know cos i only started surfing around this corner of wikipedia i think 2 days ago. well anywaes, i hope the present incarnation is far more wiki-worthy. i shall be waiting around to have a feel of its general reception before working on it some more next weekend, got to go back into my dull dreary army camp soon :( and by working on it some more i mean reworking what is publicly available from the official site into something that people can truly use and is not quite so verbose. i'm somewhat cheered that you didn't immediately AfD the new article. any pointers? ahwang 10:09, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heartthrob

This article completely fails WP:NPOV in that defining someone as a "hearthrob" is inherently subjective, and also WP:V in that no entry has a citation to a published source. Kevin 05:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I'm the author of the article mentioned. I intended it as an example of an NiMH charger, but since I do not have other chargers, I wrote it specifically about that particular charger, in a general category of "NiMH chargers". If it's to be deleted, I'd prefer to create a generic page for that type of charger, or add a section so a very generic "battery charger" page that provides some information about this type of charger. If the general consensus is to remove the existing page, I have no significant problem with that, other than the issues I mentioned above. --Ron 23:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EasyGroup

Speedy Delete Ok where do we start, this article is 100% pure unadulterated SPAM and its sole purpose is to advertise one company belonging to one individual and provide backlinks to various websites controlled by that individual. From my understanding of WIKIPEDIA using an article to provide SEO for web pages and positive publicity is in breech of several of WIKIPEDIA's conditions and objectives. I recommend a deletion on a variety of grounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Politakis (talk • contribs)

Speedy Keep Second seeming WP:POINT nomination for this article. This same AfD was listed with the correct spelling, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EasyGroup. lowercase 06:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

STRONG Keep I'm sorry but the easyGroup is one of the most significant companies in the UK and western Europe today. Everyone knows of them and their subsidiary companies and they are perhaps single handedly responsible for an overhaul in how certain commercial sectors are run (mostly airlines, hotels and car rental). Ben W Bell talk 07:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Incidentally this has been nominated by a user who seems intent on removing all the easyGroup companies from Wikipedia and has tried to do so on several occassions of late. Ben W Bell talk 07:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment To clarify what's going on here, the user nominating this article tried adding links to etaxis.co.uk and eminicabs.co.uk to the article Minicab, and created EasyPizza which had a link to easypizza.co.uk. A simple examination of those pages show them to be all part of the same SEO machine. Going one link deep in on any of those websites reveals dozens of (often hidden) links to other websites, and these three sites link to each other. Because of my SEO suspicions, I nominated EasyPizza for deletion, not knowing that there was a legitimate easyPizza company run by easyGroup. During the AfD, other Wikipedians uncovered links to notable sources mentioning the real easyPizza, so I withdrew my AfD nom and fixed easyPizza to refer to the notable company. lowercase 07:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Speedy keep The owner is roughly the fourth most famous entrepreneur based in the UK (after Richard Branson, Alan Sugar and Roman Abramovich).Piccadilly 11:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)\

Surely fifth most famous, after you count Lakshmi Mittal Bwithh 20:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't Mittal is more famous in the UK. He is richer and more important on a global scale, but he's in a business that sells to other businesses, so it is of little interest to those who don't read the business pages. Stelios operates a high profile consumer brand and is familiar on TV. He has certainly been famous in the UK for longer. Abramovich is famous with the general public because he's associated with football, not because he made billions in oil and alunium; Sugar was also been involved in football and has his own TV show; and Branson is head and shoulders above all other British businessmen in fame because he's a marketing genius and has been involved in many consumer businesses. Steelmaking just doesn't interest the British general public much, especially when the plants are overseas. Piccadilly 06:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete no assertion of notability. Eluchil404 22:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep She is a higher up in the LaRouche Movement and has plenty of publications and references (media and otherwise) unrelated to her failed political candidacies ... [11] [12] [13] ... she is currently the editor in chief of Larouche's New Federalist newspaper. Further, due to the shenanigans in the 2002 election, she would be notable from that alone. Basically, there was a big fight between her and the Democrat party. She tried to become a Democrat and steal the Democrat nomination (ala Pat Buchanan / Reform Party). I didn't see this AFD when it first came out. As such, there are a bunch of deletes in the now-several days old AFD. If there are no responses after this one, I would encourage the closing admin to relist it for further consensus. (If other people reading this still feel she is non-notable, ok, that's fine, I'm not going to get too upset over it - just if nobody but the closing admin reads this, it's probably worth further consideration since the seven people voting to delete are probably aware that she has any notability beyond a failed candidacy.) BigDT 03:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Neutral. As an admin who watches articles related to the LaRouche Movement, I don't care one way or another. Spannaus is a figure in that movement, but her overall notability (such as it is) rests in her U.S. Senate campaigns. As with other LaRouche candidates (see Janice Hart), Spannaus' minor degree of success seems to have been based on ignorance of her positions rather then knowledge of them. How many articles do we have about people who's chief claim to fame is getting 20% of the vote in a statewide election? However if there is a considerable lack of reliable sources to base an article upon, then it may be impossible to write a verifiable, NPOV article about her. In that sense it may not meet the notability standard of having reliable, 3rd party sources. It's up to you, closing administrator! Cheers, -Will Beback 10:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of video games considered the worst ever

This article has been acknowledged for a long time to be nothing but POV. Additionally, much of it appears to be original research. Despite this acknowledgment, the article remains the same: uncited, unencyclopedic, and unprofessional. Chris Griswold 12:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

OK guys, I will dare and remove the AfD tag as the result seems to be "Keep" with little or no doubt (and no, no ballot stuffing here). Plus the AfD tags insist on calling this the "second" AfD nomination, while it's the third one. Oh well... EpiVictor 15:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- My bad, forgot that only admins can do that :-) EpiVictor 23:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep First of all, the nominator did not disclose that this article has been nominated for deletion twice; there was no consensus first time and keep (by a wide margin- 13 to 5) the second time. Much like the GNAA, there's no reason to keep re-nominating an article. Second of all, while I feel that this list is POV, it's at least POV that pretty much everyone can agree with- not many people are going to tell you that Big Rigs was a particularly great experience. The fact that there's already a note to use the talk page before adding to the article certainly helps its cause. As a huge gamer, I greatly despise gamecruft on WP, but in my opinion, this isn't it. -- Kicking222 12:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- And, by the way, if you look at the talk page, the note in the main article is true- each game somebody wants to put on the list is first proposed to the community (via the talk page), or else it's simply removed from the page. Thus, while the article is POV, at least there's a consensus as far as what belongs on the list and what does not. -- Kicking222 13:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep this was listed for deletion several times unsuccessfully. I don't see how this time it would be different. Grue 13:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep While at first it may sound POV all entries are seemingly backed up by references to calims that said entries are in fact terrible. it is after all list of games considered not list of games that are the worst ever Ydam 13:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep per above --Guinnog 14:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep but rewrite beginning While the list itself is a good collection with references, the article before the list itself is indeed very POV, especially the "2D as out-of-fashion" section which is disputable from many angles including the many popular 2D games released for newer handheld consoles including not only the likes of the Gameboy Advance but also of mobile phones. The part before the list definitely needs an NPOV-rewrite. AdamDobay 14:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ Rename. ~~Listcruft~~. Horrible name for an article: "considered" (weasel words), "worst ever" (hyperbole). If it is kept it needs to be renamed. 70.108.111.17 14:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment:"Worst ever" isn't really hyperbole. Someone's gotta be the worst... -LtNOWIS 00:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep per precedent. I invite 70.108.111.17 to suggest alternate wording that won't render the title POV. 23skidoo 14:44, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

"List of video games that have been called among the worst" or "that have been panned by most critics". Make sure every game included is sourced to a notable reference (not just some kid's blog) justifying inclusion. See list of groups referred to as cults for example of how this can be done. 70.108.111.17 15:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete I voted this way last time too - the title is POV. --Bachrach44 16:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete If individual games within the list is notable enough, give those games coverage in their own individual articles. Otherwise, this page amounts to consensus reviews, which by definition is point of view. — WCityMike ^(T | C) ⇓ plz reply HERE (why?) ⇓ 17:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep, as not only it has survived two AfD nominations before, but the current revision of the list is much more mature and well observed/mantained than older versions. Plus, there are similarly named articles (one example for all: Films considered the worst ever) which are suspiciously not subject to as much AfD nominations and criticism, neither for their name, nor for their content. And about the "2D out of fashion theory": the only systems where they're considered "hip" are lowly handhelds and Java games (for technical reasons, mostly, but even on those platforms, developers and manufacturers are striving for "3D at all costs" strategy too, so there's definitively a bias or policy in the industry. EpiVictor 17:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep, this actually have have some use as suggested eariler, as a repository of games that are considered bad; most of them give reasons for why, allowing the reader to do further research as many have their own page dedicated to them. And I would think that 12-3-1 (The 1 being a Rename) would be considered to be a legitimate vote, since ballot-stuffing would imply that someone is logging in under different accounts to do this. Coyote42 22:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep but rewrite beginning. Films considered the worst ever is an exemplary list in my opinion... This has attracted more negative attention I think because the intro is way too long and messy. Clean it up, but I know this can be made into a well-sourced and unambiguous list. Grand master ka 05:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep. But it needs revision. There's an article for greatest, there should be a reciprical. --Mystalic 22:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge to Pole. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 13:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pole (object)

Two reasons for nomination. "Not a Dictionary" is the main one. The second is that the page did contain text that was proposed for merge into two other articles. I have performed the merge and turned it into a disambig page, but I keep coming back to the "Not a dictionary" reason. Thus the seciond is a subset of the first Fiddle Faddle 13:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I really should write more clearly. What I mean is that a "pole" as an object, is something that requires a dictionary definition, not an encyclopaedic definition. As an article here it is not important. As a disambig page it is not important either because wikilinks to Pole (object) are, to me, not encyclopaedic links, so should not really exist either, though links to a particular kind of pole, such as a barber's pole make perfect sense because they are enclyclopaedic. Lack of this disambig page ought therefore to lead to better articles since they will, one hopes, link to the correct places. Fiddle Faddle 13:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete per WP:NOT a dictionary and it does nothing that can't be done at the pole disambiguation page Ydam 13:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Very weak keep. The pre-disambiguation version was not that bad. Disambiguation pages are not "dictionary definitions." The links now there should be retained. The Dutch page seems better. Smerdis of Tlön 13:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- While I agree wholeheartedly that the pre-disambig version was not bad it was pretty much a duplicate of the two pages it was suggested for merge into, and was by no means expansive enough to be what it purported to be - a set fo definitions of poles which are objects. After the merge it became a page which is either incomplete and needs strengthening with everything one couold possibly disambiguate a pole to be, or is a duplicate of Pole, which I should doubtless have found before nominating it. There is thus an argument for turning it into a redirect page instead of deleting it. It is a very week disambig page as it stands. I was frankly unsure which course to take, hence the nomination whcih will give correct guidance. Fiddle Faddle 13:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to pole, then; that's already a disambiguation page, and a page like pole (object) suggests it's already disambiguated. Smerdis of Tlön 18:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

From the talk page, posted by User:216.183.37.60 on 19:45, 1 October 2004:

Given that Laos, Burma and Viet Nam are all republics, and totalitarian ones at that, I find it impossible to believe that a group made up of people pretending to royal status in the countries in question would be able to have any dialogue whatsoever with the Communist governments of Laos, Burma and Viet Nam. Even in Europe, such as in Austria, Greece and Italy, no republic would even deal with an actual royal figure until they disavowed their favored status and accepted the legality and legitimacy of the ruling government.

Further, in the article posted by the same clique which posted this on the "Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League" it says that they hold that the last legitimate ruler of Viet Nam was the French puppet Emperor Bao Dai. Therefore, how could they hope to have a dialogue with a government they refuse to even accept as a legitimate power? Additionally, the website for the British House of Commons, which lists all committees of every kind, has no mention of this group, and it seems highly unlikely that they ever would considering that the United Kingdom and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam fully recognize each other, have exchanged ambassadors and are on friendly relations.

If the British government was actually sponsoring a group composed of royal pretenders claiming status from the countries in question, and working in opposition to the ruling government, I assure you the Vietnamese government would protest loudly and probably break off all diplomatic relations with the British. -Nguyen Van Tuan

[edit] Al Cabino

I have thus far been unable to find major, independent sources that say this guy is notable. Making a chocolate sneaker is interesting and all, but the vanity of the page and the lack of real assertions of notability are suspect. Plus, one of the two contributors to the page is User:Cabino. If anyone can find major news coverage or something to support this artist, bring it forward. Otherwise, this page should be deleted. Grand master ka 17:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep Al Cabino has launched this campaign. It ahs been covered by major news sources. Why should it be deleted? Maybe people recognize him as a sneaker celebrity, and there are around 19,000 signatures on his petitions. I mean like geez, Guy Goma has his own page, and he didn't do anything.Also, it has nothing to do with slow newsdays. Guys, this page on Al Cabino is not just about the petition campaign going on now!

AFAICT, most ghits are commercial sites, many linked to each other. What we need for WP inclusion is a neutral site, that reliably indicates to us that she is well known, i.e. notable per WP:BIO. If there is one, I couldn't find it. Remember 'neutral' means, among other criteria, not making money from the promotion. Crum375 10:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep, notable and Wikipedia needs more articles on porn stars. bbx 12:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Any notable persons are acceptable for WP, porn stars or not. But they must be notable by WP criteria, per WP:BIO and WP:RS. Just a bunch of interlinked ads and promos do not confer notability. There must be a neutral source (e.g. that does not get money from promoting the person) that vouches for notability. If you think a person is notable, all you need is to point to one such neutral and reliable source, and it's a keeper. Just saying they are notable won't cut it. Crum375 13:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

There are many neutral and reliable sources in the two hundred thousand links provided, most of the sites are not pay-per-view or commercial based. You are not properly citing the WP:BIO guideline. Yamaguchi先生 15:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

'Many' > 1, right? Can you please cite one such neutral and reliable site, that shows she's notable, that does not get paid to promote her? That's all it would take to get her in. Crum375 15:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. This is a notable porn star, and Wikipedia should document the subject accordingly. Yamaguchi先生 15:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep. per above --Haham hanuka 15:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep notable porn star, not to mention the AVN lawsuit writeup. A pornstar making AVN's headlines is like getting a headline story in the New York Times. AVN is THE #1 porn industry rag. ALKIVAR™ 18:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you think she would make the porn notability criteria? If so, how? Crum375 21:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Yep... Criteria #6: "Performer has been the subject of a noteworthy news piece or controversy, whether through adult film industry news or (preferably) in "mainstream" news outlets." News story in AVN I mentioned above qualifies. ALKIVAR™ 00:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

So from now on, if this one gets kept, all an aspiring porn star, eager for free Wiki advertizing has to do, is get in a minor dispute with an agent, have a minor lawsuit, get cited for it in the porn press, and voila - instant free lifetime wiki-publicity. Somehow I don't think this is what our Founding wiki-Fathers had in mind for an encyclopedia, nor is it my own read of porn notability criteria, but I could be wrong. Crum375 00:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the sum of all human knowledge. Any "free Wiki advertizing" is incidental, we're providing coverage in a neutral and verifiable manner. If you have any doubts as to what the founding fathers had in mind, why not just go ask one. Silensor 02:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rapunzel Unbraided

Completing nother incomplete AFD, nominated by 81.104.165.184 (talk · contribs). Per note on talk page: unreferenced speculation, WP:NOT a crystal ball. Fan1967 19:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with the nom and vote Delete on anything with a speculative release date of 2009. Fan1967 19:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep. Documented major-studio feature film that is well into production. The information on animation techniques is very valuable (although it does need a source). Per WP:NOT: "Forward-looking articles about unreleased products (e.g. movies, games, etc.) require special care to make sure that they are not advertising." I believe this article meets that guideline. Powers 19:44, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- If you can provide some documentary evidence that this project was finished and released by 2009, feel free to produce it. 81.104.165.184 20:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  - That's not what Wikipedia requires. Per WP:NOT, "If preparation for the event isn't already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented." 22.1k hits (using phrases, so it's a valid search) on Google. — WCityMike ^(T | C) ⇓ plz reply HERE (why?) ⇓ 21:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    - I think the quote you're looking for is: Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Having taken out the stuff that is too speculative (how do we know the artists are using revolutionary new technology?) or POV (the supposed "uniqueness" of the style), what's left is Just Another Speculative Stub. 81.104.165.184 21:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete too far into the future Bwithh 19:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The article itself is well-written for something occurring so far in the future. We have other examples of events in 2010 (Olympics for example). Wikipedia has articles which are far less deserving that exist, so why delete this one?--SomeStranger (T | C) 20:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment We know the 2010 Olympics will take place. This one doesn't even have a firm cast. It's pure speculation and drawing board plans. If we have less deserving articles, they should be deleted, too. Fan1967 21:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

(post edit conflict) Bzzt... fallacy! That, and (as Fan1967 also pointed out) the false assumption that all future-dated articles that currently exist are equally worthy of being there. 81.104.165.184 21:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Eh, good point. Regardless, this is still a movie by Disney, a highly reputable company and considering there are now sources, there is no reason to delete.--SomeStranger (T | C) 14:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep A major studio film that has already been announced. There is very little crystal ballism in the article. In addition, this movie has already had an IMDb page for quite some time, so it's not just notable, but beyond verifiable. -- Kicking222 22:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep Well documented and easily sourced - no crystal balls here... --manchesterstudent 22:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Movie from a notable studio that has a notable actress and a IMDB page. The only reason why it might be deleted is because of it's far off release date which is not a criteria for deletion. Deathawk 23:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Strong delete Even mere months before its scheduled release date, a movie can easily be pulled and never see the light of day. Please also note the standard set for future music albums, which are often deleted when there's minimal information with a release date one year into the future, not to mention three. And while this may have a notable actress signed on, there's no guarantee that she'll stay signed on, nor does the presence of any singular notable actor make a picture notable. fuzzy510 02:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Notice: I've added three sources to the article. I have not yet been able to find sources for the new tools or the "non-photorealistic rendering" bits that were added by an IP editor some time ago, but those bits could be excised if needed without removing the rest of it. Please re-evaluate if you advocated deletion due to lack of documentation. Powers 13:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Recreate in 2008. -- GWO
Keep. Interesting. Unlike the rumored, but cancelled, Fraidy Cat, whose Afd can be found here (and its consensus was to rewrite about a different meaning of the same phrase,) this is a confirmed Disney film, Georgia guy 19:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not confirmed until it's too close to release date to pull. 81.104.165.184 13:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Even if the film does get pulled, an article on it would be appropriate, given its attempts at changing the way 3D animation is done, and for Glen Keane's comments on 3D vs. 2D animation. Powers 17:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep while the film is not yet released, the article contains some useful information that shouldn't be deleted. Grue 14:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Napsis

Article has almost no content. "Napsis" gets about 940 Google hits, many of which are completely unrelated. Article doesn't really assert notability, and I can't find any myself. (Their product, nTPV, may well qualify for an article, but that's kind of unrelated.) It was tagged for cleanup in October, 2004 (not that there was anything to clean up, really), and in August, 2005 HopeSeekr of xMule added a notice that said "This is a non-notable company that was created by a person from auna.net, a Spanish ISP. It is thus probably purely self-promotional and thus should be removed." Not surprisingly, doing that didn't get the article removed, but what did happen is that Steve espinola removed the notice and the clean-up tag. Steve espinola is now apparently blocked for sockpuppetry and there was apparently some kind of a thing going on over there that I don't really want any part of, but despite the apparently unrelated dramatics, the article doesn't seem to meet WP:CORP. -- Captain Disdain 18:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Films considered the worst ever (fifth nomination)

This AfD brought this article to my attention. Consensus reviews are, by their very nature, point of view, and although "mass opinion" may deem these movies awful (and I don't necessarily disagree), the simple fact that a majority holds an opinion does not, by its very nature, render that opinion an objective fact. Although this article is well-written, it is nevertheless subjective opinion and thus merits deletion. — WCityMike ^(T | C) ⇓ plz reply HERE (why?) ⇓ 18:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep While there are lists, articles, books, etc. elsewhere about the "worst films ever" WP can't have an article by such a title (unless it were about one of those specific books), so the title seems a reasonable way to address the topic in an encyclopedic way. The criteria for inclusion seems narrowly written enough so that wikipedians don't simply add their own most hated movies. Шизомби 19:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep for pretty much the same reason as the last list. This has been the subject of much debate in the past but the evolution of this meant that all entries in this list are well referenced and meet numerous criteria. Would not agree that it is subjective. Ydam 20:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electric Blue 28

Previously voted on VfD in 2004. Since then, the article hasn't evolved much and it isn't notable, other than the fact that porn actress Traci Lords had her scenes removed after she was found to have been under-age. Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 19:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess I'll be the first to stab at a controversal issue. First off, the original nomination was more focued on morality and "unnatural love." This article really has more to deal with notability. And when I review the article itself, it could be condensed. I honestly believe that this article is a keep. Having notability from an actress that meets WP:Bio, should be enough to keep an article afloat. I'm going to borrow some text from WP:Music and use it in this context, "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable." Being involved with an actress that is notable, and under those circumstances should keep this article afloat. Yanksox 06:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep, the Traci Lords controversy was notable... and it pushes this back into the keep column, along with its IMDB entry. The reason for the original VFD nom (from the link supplied by the nominator) was bogus since morality has nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. Although... this keep vote shouldn't be take as any kind of support for articles on porncruft like Electric Blue 1-27 and 29-X. - Motor (talk) 10:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete, merge what little content in Traci Lords. Not a notable or much-noticed Lords movie. New Wave Hookers, on the other hand... -- GWO
Delete per GWO/Gareth Owen. Traci Lords made "somewhere between 80 and 100 X-rated movies between 1984 and 1986" we can't have an article for every one of them. We probably do want to have an article for some (she was one of the top stars of her time, even besides the scandal), but I see nothing about this particular movie that makes it stand out. I am also highly wary of saying that #28 in a series is particularly notable. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 14:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete. I don't think every porn movie ever made deserves an article, even with notable cast members. There is nothing too special about this one and I don't see why it should be kept. Grand master ka 05:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Android Along with all the many terms listed there. It's a valid idea that if humans start to build robots that very closely resemble humans, they will build robots that very closely resemble creatures which are similar but not human. A group of star trek fans might create a robot designed to mimic a vulcan, which would not fit the traditional definition of android. Such robots are likely to created by hollywood for entertainment, or by the toy industry, for entertainment or education. An 'anthroid' featured in the scifi short story 'Super toys last all summer long' which became the basis for the film AI.

Delete/Transwiki as non-notable, comes across as marketing abuse of wikipedia. Article is an article about a self-published comic book about furry cyborg anthroid (also up for afd) superheroes with attractively tight-fitting costumes (which is possibly an argument for keep, but doesnt quite do it for me) which scores just 164 google hits. Creator should be told to Transwiki material to the furophile Wikifur, if he wants, which is really his target market anyway.

RVDDP2501, don't take the afd personally, its not to undervalue your hard work. The concern is that your subject may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia on notability grounds. If you can show verifiable proof that this comic is read and known widely enough, your article would pass the Afd test. I also suggested that the highly commendable project, Wikifur may a better home (with a better audience) for your efforts. All you need to do is copy and paste to that wiki.

Keep/Clean up Why is the Extinctioner artical up for deletion? If it is just because of its popularity, then it has already been proven that the Extinctioner comic series already has a large fanbase with numerous fangroups and a distrabution region that spreads over two continents. It may not be as popular as "Spiderman", "X-men", "Daredevil", or "Star Wars", but many underground comics are not widely known. Does the artical provide too much information? In a sense, yes. It focuses too much on the characters themselves than the actual history of the continuity of Extinctioners and the comic's history. If the artical in question is being targeted because of it's assosiation to Furdom, then there is no reason to continue this discussion. Should Extinctioners move to Wikifur? No, I do not believe that it should. If I may, I would like to point out several other comics, such as Shanda the Panda[[17]], Atomic Mouse[[18]], Albedo Anthropomorphics[[19]], and Buck O'Hare[[20]], are not apart of Wikifur despite the fact that they are listed as Furry Comics[[21]] right here in Wikipedia. If Extinctioners is truely classified as a Furry Comic here on Wikipedia, and the Administrators seek to move it to Wikifur, then why is it allowed that other Furry Comics remain undistubred? Kantorock 17:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep&Transwiki Upon further revision of this article, I've noticed that it does, indeed contain a uselessly large amount of information. It should be cut down to a minimal size, with only a short summary of main characters as a group, and the rest should be transferred to a main article on Wikifur. Though the article has a right to exist on Wikipedia, it does not need more than a simple summary and a link to a more thorough article on a personal site. Dikastis

Delete/Transwiki as nonnotable, possible marketing abuse of wikipedia. Same as anthroid and Andorozon afds. Too obscure:perhaps as many as 674 google hits. The subject is more cyborg furry crimefighters in tight-fitting costumes. Plus some repetition with the Andorozon article. Transwiki to [Wikifur] if the creator wants to.

Give the guy a break, he's new to the process. I've been trying to manage unsigned votes since they started coming in. He's got a big fan base, it's not surprising that some will show up to try and support him. I'll strike the multiple votes. Tony Fox 15:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Shawntae Howard Apologies for the multiple keeps, I'm not familiar with how wiki works, I thought you had to add that if you were going to comment, that, and I know nothing about script writing or code so I'm sure all of my posts are wrong in one way or another. I'm learning as I do. Just figuring out how to make something bold letters is a bit of a challenge. Shawntae Howard

Weak keep, if this comic is actually in production, etc. --M e rovingian {T C @} 21:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, it says its being published at the moment by Shanda Fantasy Arts, which is a very small scale publisher, a step above self-publishing. They pay "up to $10" per page - $5 for pin up art. The last copy of the Extinctioners is dated March 2005 and the one before that, March 2004, and the one before that Jan. 2003... seems to be annual publishing of 40 page comics. Couldnt find a Jan-March 2006 edition though. Bwithh 22:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I didn't create the page as a form of marketing! (I am not the creator of the comics) what must I do to prevent deletion?! an why now is is being concidered for Deletion, I worked hard on this page, why is it being concidered for deletionRVDDP2501 17:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

RVDDP2501, don't take the afd personally, its not to undervalue your hard work. The concern is that your subject may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia on notability grounds. If you can show verifiable proof that this comic is read and known widely enough, your article would pass the Afd test. I also suggested that the highly commendable project, Wikifur may a better home (with a better audience) for your efforts. All you need to do is copy and paste to that wiki. Bwithh 23:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, if you are not the creator of these comics, and do not have permission from the creator, then there are significant copyright violations from the use of the comic images in this way (would also apply if you transferred the images to Wikifur) Bwithh 23:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep Unless the article is directly violating policies, and I don't see that it is - as I know the creator of this comic personally and the poster is not him (the creator was also the one who pointed out the possible deletion of this article with some concern, so I highly doubt that the person who wrote this article is violating Shawntae's wishes) - then I don't see why it should be deleted. I read Extinctioners and know several others who do, some of whom aren't primarily interested in anthropomorphics, but in superhero genre comics. A new issue of the comic has come out within the past two months, so it is clearly still in production. - GrowlyGenet 06:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- First, yes, but not my only edit. I was already juggling around the idea of editing for some time and had viewed the aforementioned article long before it came up for deletion. I remember when it was merely a stub. And I have been active on other Wikis before as well. I just thought it better to sign my name to an edit than to merely leave an anonymous IP number as my tag. Besides, now that I have an account, I am happily seeing about correcting a few oversights regarding missing articles for both cartoons and sci-fi shows. Growly 22:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

SHAWNTAE HOWARD, CREATOR Extinctioners is a quarterly comic not an annual, but due to injuries, graduate studies, and serious family issues over the past 2 years, yes, it has come out with only 2 issues a year, the primary comic and it's annual. However, I do not see why that would cause it for grounds for deletion from wikipedia, nor do I personally consider the comic book 'furry' since it also features a main human cast so I'd say I personally feel a little insulted that the idea that it belongs on wikifur is it's appropriate location. The creator of the page did indeed e-mail me and asked me for permission to create the page, which I consented and gave him information on character bios, which he used in his article (such as the person who created the less detailed wikifur page did). The company that the comic is published by has been in existance for 10 years and still is currently publishing, infact an issue of Extinctioners is available for pre-order right this moment in the current month's Diamond Previews listed under Shanda Fantasy Arts. It's readership spans the globe, with the internet only helping it's notority, with only the limited resources of foreign readers being able to easily aquire an issue. The comic has also spanned a number of yahoo fan groups with memberships in the thousands. I'm not sure who reported that the book was not worthy of a wikipage in the first place, probably out of some sort of spite, but if onther comic related material can have a page I don't see why this one doesn't as well. It's a comic that's been in existance for 10 years now, regardless of it's frequncey of issues per year, there still are issues per year, with the latest currently in production from me (and it's page lenght went from 32, to 48, now down to 40 of which I do all of the work on from writing, penciling, inking, and greytoning, so yes, it takes a one man production crew time to complete when I'm also a working teacher who's taking graduate classes and supporting a family at the same time.) I'm not sure if this is enough proof to maintain the page on wiki, but if no, please feel free to e-mail me at howart@peoplepc.com and I can further answer any inuquires. Additional note, a poster stated that the last publishede issue was March 2005, this is incorrect, the latest issue #15 came out just 2 months ago, the SFA page has not yet been updated by it's webmaster. http://www.rabbitvalley.com/item_6468_1959___Extinctioners-Volume-2-Number-15.html Is proof of its existance and availability.

Keep Proof that extinctioners is 'known and read widely enough' could be derived from the membership lists of the following yahoo groups, which (usually) list user name, real name, age and location. The groups also indicate an active and ongoing interest in the publication. Though the information is publicly available, the groups are protected by yahoo's content rating system, which requires viewers to sign in.

As a note Bwithh, the phrase 'read and known widely enough' does not seem to appear anywhere in wikipedia, let alone as a standard. Is there a more specific/official requirement you are reffering to? - ANTIcarrot 13:20 GMT 5/6/06

These standards are debated and not fixed in stone, but they exist. See Wikipedia:Notability. I invite you to make yourself more familiar with Wikipedia 01:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  - User contribution lists do not reflect other contributions made before a user account is created. You might wish to bare this in mind when talking about the contributions of other people. For the record I've been editing and writing articles since feb 2004 - which is longer than you 'newbie'. I would invite you to be more polite in the future, and clearer about what your concerns about an article are. Notability is much easier to understand than the word by itself. Both for new commers, and those more familar with creating content than deleting it.

I have heard of Extinctioners a number of times, though I've yet to read it. It seems to me that the three pages referencing it could easily be merged into one, combining 'anthroid' and 'Andorozon' as subtopics in the Extinctioners page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Charlesdeleroy (talk • contribs) .

'Andorozon' AND 'Extinctioners' are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Comics which at one point had a fictional crossover and should not be either deleted or mergedRVDDP2501 16:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

~~Weak~~ keep as it does have a lengthy publishing history despite gaps in its schedule. Go gently with the arguments, those folks who are opposing deletion. Please remember that this is a place for rational discussion about the merits of the article in question, and the best way to ensure that the article remains on Wikipedia is by assuring the nominators and other participants in the discussion that the topic meets notability requirements. This means providing links to credible sources that indicate the book's existence - and even then, as it is a small-market publication, the article might not quite meet the notability requirements. I would note that the article as it stands, as with the Andorozon page also up for deletion, needs some serious work to be properly Wikified. Tony Fox 17:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Changed my vote to full keep based on non-trivial coverage as noted by the author below and the history of the magazine as compared to others with long-standing articles in Wikipedia - with the proviso that the article be pared down and cleaned up. Tony Fox 15:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hardly. Extinctioners is NOT Past its peak. IT is one of the most inventive, sexy, well drawn, Thought out comics that is out there. It still is colorful, well made, and creative even when other comics have lost its luster. The artist and writer have created the most colorful characters. THese characters are so different from each other it's amazing and inspirational. PAST its PEAK BAH! It still keeps going and will never grow old!

Keep/~~Transwiki~~ Cleanup This would be an excellent article for WikiFur. It does seem to be a bit heavy for the regular WikiPedia. (The character sheets section, for one, I think could be deleted.) Most of the characters seem to have 2 illustrations, which is excessive. VikÞor [[User talk:Vik-Thor|Talk]] 22:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Just checked on WikiFur, and they already have an article on Extinctioners. The main characters have their own articles there, which I do not think should be done here. Basically, I think this article just needs to be trimmed down. VikÞor [[User talk:Vik-Thor|Talk]] 23:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Shawntae Howard: Creator Perhaps it is felt that it belongs on Wikifur is because the main characters happen to be humaniod animals. However, I as it's creator do not consider the comic "Furry" as it is traditionally thought of at all, and while the individual who worked on the page focused on those characters, they were in the process of including the human characters from the comic as well, as he was asking for information about those particular characters as well. Also, I notice that on wikipedia an article for the comic Gold Digger, written by Fred Perry is allowed, a comic that also started out with a strong anthropomorphic cast and features human main characters as well, yet it is not recommended that this article would be an excellent article for Wikifur. I've noted that there is an article on Albedo Anthropomorphics, a sci fi comic with an all anthropomorphic cast on Wikipedia, yet it hasn't been recommended as an article best suited for Wikifur (when it could be argued that that book was a large influence in the creation of many anthro related comic book titles, including the much acclaimed Usagi Yojimbo, who got it's start within the pages of that comic.) May I also note that very short articles on the 'furry' comic titles of Furrlough, Wild Life, and Genus have Wikipedia articles, yet not comments that these would be best suited for Wikifur, when techincally since they do advertise themselves AS furry comics, it would make since that is where they belong. If it's a question of who publishes Extinctioners, would it be more relevent if it were published by Antartic Press, who I am ironically in negotiations to do just that? Evidence of it's continued production can be seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/99828/ ,

http://www.furaffinity.net/full/99819/ , and http://www.furaffinity.net/full/99819/. These are examples of pages currently in production for the next issue (Apologies for not adding shorting links, I'm not familiar with how to do that on these pages).

It is also stated that the reasons it would be better on Wikifur is because it already has an article done by someone on it, but may I also point out that many of Wikipedia subjects are repeated on Wikifur as well, such as the above stated articles on Antartic Press, Gold Digger, Atomic Mouse (also published by Shanda Fantasy Arts), and Furrlough to just give a brief example. Granted, one source may be more informative than the other depending on the individual who wrote them, however, I haven't seen complaints that one belongs on the other as I have with the Extinctioners article, which may now be on Wikifur, but was not as detailed as the one on wikipedia until the creator of the article just recently moved it there due to this complaint and deletion hearing. And if it is felt it is a bit 'heavy' for wikipedia due to it's amount of informative information about the characters, then I'd like to point out any of your other superhero article such as Justice League or X-Men related characters. The fact that so much information on each character can be found should be a testiment to just how much the individual who created the page has gotten from the comics and online sources. Perhaps if the creator trimmed down the amount of images in the article to just one per character it discusses that would be acceptable, though I'd like to point out these links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-men and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Frost as an example of an article with multiple images featuring a single character.

Or is the bottem line that because the book is published by an independent company rather than one of the mainstream companies it's validity as a wikipedia article is not as up to standard or is it it's content that makes it so (which again, I'll say again, if its due to the anthropomorphic cast that has been talked about in the article thus far is the issue, there are a number of human ones too, if humans make people less xenophobic). I do not say that Wikifur is a bad place, nor that I'm disturbed that an article on it has appeared there, but I as the creator, do not consider the comic furry anymore than the creator of Gold Digger or Ninja High School would just because they use anthropomorphic characters in their story telling. I hope that's not the case, because if someone decides to do an article on the currently acclaimed small press comic Mouse Guards, I hope it too won't be considered more appropriate to be a wikifur article because it's cast are anthropomorphic mice. 207.69.137.34Shawntae Howard

Mr. Howard, My comment about this article being a bit heavy for the general WikiPedia has nothing to do with the fact that the article as it currently stands is primarily about the anthro/furry characters. Rather, it is about the sheer number of images, and the level of detail. The weight of the characters, for Ghu's sake? Date of birth in a non-standard year count (when is year 989?)

your pointing out Emma Frost as a comparison is partially invalid, as there is more text per picture, and the images are scattered throughout the text. In Extinctioners, once down into the character info, there is almost 50/50 text to image. I have also pointed the main author of the page toward some templates the Comic Project has that I thought might be useful. VikÞor [[User talk:Vik-Thor|Talk]] 03:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep/Clean up I'm a little bit disturbed, actually, that this entry is being contested on the grounds of popularity rather than factual validity or intellectual property. There are no certain stipulations in the Wikipedia policy that outline exactly how popular certain media or certain topics must be in order to justify their existence. I think the reasons for this are clear. Wikipedia would lose a lot of its intellectual appeal if it filtered articles on the grounds of popularity. An infrequently visited article isn't irrelevant, and no one can truly predict when a thread will be popular or unpopular. The other arguments for the removal of the Extinctioners entry seem to imply that the author of the article did not have permission of the creator, which he did (see Mr. Howard's entry) or that the article is being used as a 'marketing tool', an expression just as subjective as 'popularity'. If file space and/or bandwidth are the core issues behind the loosely used expressions I just stated, we can take steps to reduce image file size and streamline the article. However, this is likely not the issue since it was stated that the entry receives little traffic. I don't wish to slander anyone with claims of bias, but I can't help but think that irrational and emotional motives are governing some of the claims to remove this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.174.54.67 (talk • contribs) .

Keep/Clean up The Comic is past it's peak but still very Notable in underground circles. I've seen Extinctioners Full sized Plushes, two video games, Custome Heroclicks, A role playing game, a Soundtrack and there are at least Two Spinoff comics, purhaps more I Havn't located yet. it's been featured by Diamond Preveiws twice, and it has several fanclubs that have dozens of members. It's very underground, and fans aren't totoaly organized but they DO number quite a bit. Shanda Fantasy Arts isn't "Next to Self-Publishing" Either. It's a private publishing group run by comic book insiders. its very small-print but well known in underground comic circles. They've worked with Stan Lee, Dan Decarlo and Stan Sakai in the past. Exticntioners IS well know, just in a diferent way. I say the article should be cleaned up for Wiki standards, IE Drop the extensive profiles and talk a bit more about the actual history of the comic rather than it's fiction. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joshua the samurai (talk • contribs) .

Keep To Vik-Thor OH, well, that makes more sense then and gives some concrete information of what can be done to prevent the page's deletion. Now the page creator actually has something to go on, because before, one has to admit, the reasonings given for possible deletion were a little on the vague side. I will inform him to reduce the number of images and needless data then. Out of curiosity and personal noisiness, just why was the article nominated for deletion in the first place? What was the inital grounds or complaint in the first place? 207.69.137.13 Shawntae Howard

The first reason for deletion is the one right at the top of the list, under the big red box. Basically, it's a question of notability as defined by the site guidelines.Tony Fox 04:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

~~Keep~~: Then I would assume that since it has been proven contrary to the point that the topic has more notability than originally thought and it has as much notability as other comics that currently have articles on wikipedia, that the issue for deletion, if that is afterall the primary reason for it's possible deletion, has been more than met? Again the latest issue of the comic was released in February 2006, it's next publication is in the current Diamond's Preview for release in August 2006, evidence presented in the form of links show that it has a very active online presence with an active fan base. And that it is considered a comic book first, not pigeon holed as a "furry comic". In addition, Extinctioners has gotten a full page review 3 yearas ago in The Comic Buyer's Guide and received a B rating and it is currently listed among other comics in the 2006 edition of the Overstreet Price Guide, currently available in any national book store such as Barnes and Noble or Borders.207.69.139.9 Shawntae Howard

For the record, it's common practice to point out new or short-edit-count users in AfD discussions, because often they're being recruited to join the argument on the incorrect consideration that AfD is a vote, which it is not. Taking a poke at someone for doing what's pretty well standard procedure is not a good way to make an impression in an AfD discussion. Second, I'd like to point out that while the notability guidelines are just that, they're also the basis for keeping or deleting about every article of the hundred or so that hit AfD every day. Finally, I'm kind of trying to help *keep* the article, so I'm a bit upset that you'd suggest I'm doing something to not keep it. Please assume good faith. Thanks. Tony Fox 16:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I will be pleased to assume good faith when others do the same, sir. You tell me to assume good faith, but permit Bwithh to continue assuming lack of good faith withotu comment, and then tell me that something that clearly states it is not a guideline is, in fact, a guideline. I am not attempting to "make an impression". I am pointing out inconsistencies that others have not mentioned. I would ask you to please reconcile your words with your actions, sir.

What I'm trying to do is keep this discussion from going to hell, and while I do agree that Bwithh has been actively pointing out new editors and has made a couple of comments I'd rather he hadn't, arguing with him over it is basically counterproductive. As for notability, I'd suggest you take a look through the AfD pages for previous days and survey how many of them use 'NN' or 'non-notable' as an argument. Once again, I'm not against the article - I'm going to give it a rewrite this evening and try my best to save the damn thing. If you'd like to continue discussion, I suggest you do so at my talk page. Tony Fox 16:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

As it has been pointed out its pretty standard to note new users and editors with a short history in an afd discussion (for similar reasons, we have the the warning sign template for this kind of situation). This practice doesn't break the good faith guideline. Anyway, I apologize if certain people feel offended at my occasional attempt at humour (I try not to be too serious all the time in the afd process). I'm not opposed to furry fan culture per se. I just feel that the hard work going into the Extinctioners article is more suited to a home on the excellent Wikifur project than in a general encyclopedia, in terms of notability etc. Bwithh 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello:

My Log in Name is Lordgriffin, and yess I woudl like to talk about Extinctioners. i hope this is within the scope of what is permissible. I am currently a Major in military Inteligence deployed with the U.S. Army in Iraq, and I am a fan of teh comix.

Your service is gowing and known and it was quite extraordinary that you posted on extinctioners, and I admit i am a little distressed that you ight delet it. I do not know much about your administration but if tere is a large concern about content, it woudl seem a better policy, if yoru able, to screen these things BEFORE hand.

I thin what concernes me most is he way our society looks atthese policies, it is actually more accepted to write and draw about torture and murder, then it is to be suggestive about sexuality.

Your site is of course yours, I hope you will find Extinctioners DOES have a place here, but I recognize you will do what you consider best for your site

Comment about "Major Norman M. Fabian" Well, I think this is most interesting vote comment I've ever come across. Apparently there is a real Norman Fabian who is a furry fan who helped sponsor "Confurence 1997" and there is a real 40-something US Army Major called Norman Fabian who has served with a unit guarding (and I guess, getting intelligence from) prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq. I'm willing to believe they're the same person. (I guess public declarations about furry sexiness don't fall under Don't ask, don't tell.) Bwithh 01:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Hokay. I've just taken a sledgehammer to the article to try and pound it into something that's much shorter and provides a general introduction to the comic that, if someone is interested, will lead them to the WikiFur article with much more detail.

keep in this case, verifiable legitimacy is determined by the presence of a figure within his or her respective field insofar as that presence is discussed in the article itself, not said figure's presence within that field as represented in a search performed on yahoo! or any other such drag of mainstream domain. a verifiable presence within an artist's respective field, to all intents and purposes, then, remains a highly subjective evaluation; unfortunately, it may very well be up to the article's creator, ultimately, to determine the ultimate legitimacy of all content within the article in question, including but not limited to the article's subject. as the submission policy is currently written, the creator assumes all [forms of] liability for the information contained within the article -- unless the creator is found to be in violation of copyright law as presented to the creator under the policies of the site, or has submitted something libelous to which an outside party to this discussion can later make a claim after having witnessed the article in question, there doesn't appear to be a case for its deletion. --Brandon8ter 23:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete as per CSD A7: nn person. Recommend nominator to Be Bold and use {{db-bio}} more often. --Evan Seeds (talk) 22:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Google doesn't tell the whole story. This guy has apparently several lawyers poring over the net looking for mention of himself. He's quite notable for the sheer number of lawsuits he's promised against his critics. One of the ones he actually filed, "Crookes v. openpolitics.ca", has very substantial implications for the use of wiki to debate politics in Canada, and will likely become a Canadian Charter of Rights case soon. There was an article in the Province about him recently outlining this controversy. Crekshin
Delete, while there are ongoing problems with the candidate selection process within the Green Party in BC, that have occasionally made the news, this small player in those problems isn't notable enough (yet) for a page. --Kickstart70-T-C 01:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- That's not the controversy he's primarily been involved in. It's the Green Party of Canada incidents that are notable. The links to this page (properly named) name him in a number of controversies that got substantial national press, though it was the people he put in place, not he himself, that was generally named in the news. Crekshin
Speedy delete per Evan Seeds. DVD+ R/W 01:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- See above.
Keep. Obviously the article needs to be renamed but the material is verifiable, and the people above clearly have not done their research, not even looking for the back links or the stories in the Canadian press. As the primary funder of the GP of C in 2004, Crookes is very hard to separate from the rise of that party to national prominence. In 2001 he was notable in the rise of the GP of BC too. Both of these parties have had a substantial impact on politics, if only by splitting votes. There must be some consideration also for people who actively try to suppress mention of themselves, which is notable in itself.Crekshin

[edit] Small Magellanic Cloud (Star Fleet Universe)

This seems like a very specialized part of a fictional world. I realize people like articles on their favorite TV shows and movies and bands, but I don't see how this article fits into a general encyclopedia. I like to see articles on real world topics myself, but that's just my preference. Isn't there a place for this stuff at Memory Alpha? Erik the Rude 22:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - Well, there's a page up for the Omega Octant - another setting within the Star Fleet Universe - and the SMC is as relevant to the SFU as Omega is (perhaps more so, as unlike Omega it has Alpha races present within the established timeline). MA likes to keep its focus on Paramount Trek, so we've found a home for the SFU here at Wikipedia - why is that such a bad thing? --Nerroth 22:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - There are articles for many of the elements of this Star Fleet Universe ... see Category:Star Fleet Universe ... this article appears to be a part of a series of articles on a handful of games that take place in this universe. I wouldn't have too much of a problem with exiling the whole kit and caboodle to Memory Alpha as suggested by the nominator, but as it is, it doesn't really make sense to just delete one of the articles. BigDT 23:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment All these Star Fleet Universe articles should be put up for AfD discussion - this is rampant runaway fancruft, and most of it probably should be transferred to Memory Alpha or another Trek wiki Bwithh 07:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - This particular article is a somewhat weak end of the SFU section (I doubt it'll have much call to get bigger any time soon), but the main article's too big to keep all of this sort of thing internally. Also, Memory Alpha tends to be just for Star Trek canon material, at the expense of separate spin-off properties, even if based on a game that's been in print for nearly 30 years now. (Of course, if you look at my contributions, I am biased here. ^_^) --Rindis 03:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment if Memory Alpha won't take it, then it seems like it shouldn't exist on WikiPedia at all. Does someone want to make a "Memory Omega" or Memeory Beta wiki for non-canon Trek? Afterall, Memory Alpha is the specialist Trek wiki, if it's not acceptable there, I don't see that it should be here. 70.51.9.70 04:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I can find zero Google hits for "switch perception" which refer to this company. There are only three hits for "Switch, Inc." + "Hugo Carrillo", and of those hits, one is a press release and the other hits don't seem to exist any more (or at least the page they go to no longer contains the information). The "famous and acclaimed" movie director Hugo Carrillo does not exist at imdb. There is a director named Francisco Vargas, though no executive producer by that name that I can find, but I don't know if the person I linked to is the same person or not.

Defence I am the author of the article. I take all your points and I was at pains to point out that this is an artist's cv which usually accompanies exhibitions and publicity. While it may seem like vanity publishing to some, this is the accepted method for artists to have written documentation of their work. It is not an ego trip in my opinion as I am attempting to only put down salient facts relating to my work. How else am I supposed to provide information for collectors and students who contact me for information? If you decide to delete the article I am not particularly bothered, as there are less stressful ways open to me. Thank you for your kind advice. Rob 18:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Contested PROD. Article doesn't give much information, and I don't see what could be added - anything that refers to athletics in the three major governing bodies (NCAA, NAIA and CIS) could go there, while anything else is either apparently not notable enough ("only followed by competitors and their close friends and families") or would be put into an article for that particular governing body. fuzzy510 23:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep This is an important topic and this article needs to be improved. Breaking things up obscures the broader picture. That's why Britannica is divided into a "Micropaedia" and a "Macropaedia". This article needs to explain the context, eg how did college athletics get started? What are the landmark developments since then? How do the three major governing bodies relate to one another? Why is it so much more prominent in USA than elsewhere? I will add an expand notice to the article and list these questions on its talk page. Landolitan 01:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Commment User may be reported to WP:AIV, if this keeps up. I'm going to warn him again. Yanksox 14:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Who are you to say what is note-worthy and what is not?

You see we do a lot of work for social justice here. What difference does it make in your life if this little bit of cyber-space helps us promote our cause peace and progress for our humanity community? None of course, but it will help us. So, let it go by the by and we'll all be happy. No-one is contradicting anyone, vandalising or slandering, we're just detailing several years of political progress through music and our ongoing efforts to bring peace.

Joel we are in the business of building an encylopedia not "[helping to] promote our cause peace and progress for our humanity community". Promote your band somewhere else. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 22:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

If your comments are legitimate then so are mine. If you object to the editing and removal of comments by others then your equal action is also objectionable. Therefore, as legitimately as before...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.34.25 (talk • contribs)

the business of building an encylopedia

A 'encyclopedia' is a store-house of knowledge covering all topics, just as a dictionary is. That includes individuals, organisations, objects and interests. To the communities of Australia our work is of current and historical relevance, as it is world-wide as an example of art, freedom fighting and social justice. A true 'encyclopedia' is one that is compiled objectively, outside of the ethno-centric value systems of an elite (in this case the millioneth of a % who own a computer and have access to the internet.) If you regard your monitoring and contributions here to be of significance then it will encompass that and accomodate the value of our accomplishments. Look through the links for the events and actions we have facilitated and read the responses and impetus they have generated and then ask: 'What have I created and accomplished and, bearing that in mind, what power do I have to eradicate information about others who are inspired to create history?'

Comment: It never ceases to amaze me how people who want to use Wikipedia to promote their cause, their group or themselves suddenly show up and try to tell us how we should do things. User:Zoe|^(talk) 15:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Doesn't surprise me in the slightest anymore. If the standards of Wikipedia say this article doesn't belong, then there are two choices: remove the article or attack the standards. Fan1967 15:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

An IP left this comment at the top: Re: It never ceases to amaze me how people who want to use Wikipedia to promote their cause, their group or themselves suddenly show up and try to tell us how we should do things.

History, til this point has purely been a record endorsing the self-serving interests of the rich elite. One potential benefit of the internet (when it becomes accessible to the poor) will be the opportunity to break that standard. Instead of remaining an account which justifies the excesses of a few who reserve the tools that preserve information for themselves, the stranglehold may be broken. Let's hope that accounts, such as the music of social justice, illuminate a pathway to this.

Comment Add Andorra the rock band, Andorra rock, and Andorra (band) to the ever increasing list. This guy doesn't seem to get it. That being said, WP:MUSIC says that two albums by a major or "more important" indie label establishes notability. Has anyone looked into what labels these were released under? --Chaser T 07:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment Add Oz-andorra to the list, too. Would advise grumpy page-creator to read WP:POINT and provide better-attributed sources for one sole article, to give the project any chance of survivial. IMHO. AlexTiefling 08:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Delete - and check what links here for the final list of redirects! Blackspiderhead's childish behaviour means they do not deserve an article here. -- RHaworth 08:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Zhou

No references to the guy on google/web generally. Also question notability manchesterstudent 23:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

OFSAA does not list individual athlete's achievements or biographies. by Jamesino

Delete nn high school athlete. Possible vanity article. The few results that show up on google ([29]) don't show him as very impressive. Fan1967 23:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment Site created by user Jamesino. Vanity article highly likely. Certainly not notable or encylopedic. Consider speedy delete? User making changes to article after AFD nomination. --manchesterstudent 00:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

its real--Jamesino 00:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Real is not the question. Is James Zhou notable? Can you show any press coverage, any exceptional results or accomplishments? Fan1967 00:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Check photofinishes at OFSAA Track and Field. --Jamesino 00:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Please provide a specific link. I can't find any finish better than third place, and most are much worse. Even a win or two wouldn't make a "Midget Boys" racer notable, unless there is significant press coverage or attention. Fan1967
Delete References or not, it's a non-notable 15-year-old athlete. -- Kicking222 01:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

He is notable--Jamesino 21:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment This is Sébastien Lalonde and I am in charge of timing races at all major competitions held in Ottawa (at the Terry Fox Athelics Facility) including the NCSSAA Championship that James Zhou ran in. Our timing systems name input had a mixup between James Zhou from Colonel By and Spencer Bell from Canterbury so James Zhou did indeed win that race.-Sébastien Lalonde

Comment ^ No he's not

Speedy Delete tag added given the silly debate by the schoolboy above trying to list himself on Wiki. Vanity Article now clear. Most certainly not notable. --manchesterstudent 22:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

very notable

just because the information is unavailable on Google, does not mean it is notable. Google is not the only place for information. News channels and local newspaper are sources as well. Just because it is not on Google, doesn't mean it is not notable.--Jamesino 23:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brad Murphey

I question the notability of this sports 'personality' manchesterstudent 23:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete non-notable. Indy 500 race driver who never even finished a race or even led a lap. that's it. Bwithh 00:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep The Indianapolis 500 is arguably the world's largest race and every other competitor in the last 10 years has an article. -Drdisque 00:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I created this stub and would argue that any driver who has competed in the Indianapolis 500 is notable. He also was involved in a major crash in the inaugural IRL race in Las Vegas. This article was nominated for deletion the very minute that it was created. I would, at the very least, request that it be given some time to evolve.--Brian G 01:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep Google gets about 912 for "Brad Murphey". Better expand with reliable sources.--Jusjih 11:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Ocean Blue

Non notable and not NPOV. Not a single CD of theirs is listed in Wikipedia, and whoever wrote it seems to have a bit too much information to be a third party. Meteshjj 23:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete Agreed as per nom. --manchesterstudent 00:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep and I strongly advocate it. The Ocean Blue had many sizable radio hits and, I bet, were I to check Billboard Modern Rock charts, I would be able to tell you that their singles charted high. "Cerulean" is a classic, and though I may be biased in this vote as I enjoy their music, they are extremely notable for having several well-played singles. GassyGuy 00:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I had to go ahead and break out a reference. All of these figures are peaks of their songs on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart:
  - "Between Something and Nothing" #2
  - "Drifting, Falling" #10
  - "Cerulean" #16
  - "Ballerina Out of Control" #3
  - "Mercury" #27
  - "Sublime" #3 ...... GassyGuy 00:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- Comment Hey gang, sorry about all this, but I'm new to the rules of Wikipedia. I wrote the expanded text entry for 'The Ocean Blue' over the past few days. I am indeed a third party and just a die-hard fan and collector for the past 16 years. I've met the band once about a decade ago, but always keep up on their current goings on. It wasnt until after I wrote the Wikipedia entry this weekend, that I realized that I was writing in the form of a 'biography', when I SHOULD have been writing in the form of a true 'encyclopedic' entry. I will gladly clean up this entry to make sure that opinion, conjecture and bias are removed. I just wanted to try my best to write a solid, fact-filled submittal. Please feel free to help me correct any errors or Wikipedia rules that I may have broken. Everything I've written I can backup with hard-copy from my collection, but since much of the band's hey-day was 'pre-internet', its tough to cite facts with an online link. In addition, the bands website features an email, so I'm sure the group can clear up and confirm any questions of accuracy. Thanks folks, MAPAZ. MAPAZ 01:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Speedy keep. NPOV is a basis for a maintenance tag, not deletion. Multiple studio albums listed in article (plus singles etc. listed) is prima facie indicia of notability and should be an invitation for investigation before nominating for Afd. A look at allmusic substantiates notability, as does amazon [30]. --Fuhghettaboutit 01:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep as per WP:MUSIC. Three albums released on Sire Records and one on Mercury records meets our album requirements. Modern rock hits meet the chart requirements. Allmusic.com has an article on them see [31] I added some sections as it is a long article without a break. Capitalistroadster 01:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep per information that's just been brought to our attention. Also, let's please not consider something not having an article on Wikipedia as an indication of not being relevant, since it's far from a complete database. fuzzy510 02:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Capitalistroadster and GassyGuy. ---Charles 04:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep, definitely meets WP:MUSIC and a biased article/content dispute isn't grounds for deletion. - Motor (talk) 07:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. -- Kukini 16:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
