[edit] Naadi

Pulled here from Prod, mainly to see if someone would be willing be improve it. There is another article on the same subject Nadi Jodhidam which went through an Afd ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nadi Jodhidam Tintin (talk) 14:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment.Reason for {{prod}} was "FAQ, {{tone}}, WP:NOT, {{unref}}, appears to be {{advert}} for a book (chapter list/table of contents)". I tend to agree. It would be nice if someone could improve the article, as I am not familiar at all with the subject. We can reevaluate in a couple days. Isopropyl 18:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Planet Namek (website)

Keep although maybe the direction needs to be changed a little. Planet Namek had huge reprecussions in the field of Anime in the west, both towards acceptability and the true understanding of the original Japanese script. Unfortunate that the Wiki article talks about the forum as opposed to the site. nessthemess 0:14, 31 March 2006

Non-notable forum that hasn't existed for four years. OverlordChris 23:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

""keep"" it was an immensely popular website. Many websites less popular than Planet Namek was have their own Wikipedia articles. It also was a phase in the history of anime fandom on the internet.

[edit] Kristi Yamaoka

Kristi Yamaoka is nn, and that is even more evident since no substantial biographical improvements have been made to the article in any fashion since the last AfD on March 9 - not even a birthdate. There are also no news articles directly about her in Google News dating after the 11th of March. This article furthermore fails all of the standard and alternative tests in WP:BIO for living people. MSJapan 00:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Brian G. Crawford, the so-called "Nancy Grace of AfD" 00:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete I believe in the last AfD I was criticized for crystal-ballism in predicting that she would be forgotten by now. Her 15 minutes are now, officially, over and she is not notable. We may see an occasional "Where is she now" article on a slow news day, but that's it. (May soon be time to drop the entry on the guy Cheney shot, also.) Fan1967 00:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep, as she did cause Missouri to ban the "tossing or launching of cheerleaders". She also appeared on the Today Show and VH1's Best Week Ever. Google shows 81,000 results [5], many of which are relevant. --TBC ^{??? ??? ???} 00:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep. Only [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Kristi+Yamaoka%22&hl=en&lr=&start=270&sa=N

Comment She's last month's news. I doubt anyone is going to devote much effort to improving the article now. What you see is what there is, and is likely to be. Fan1967 01:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

And what's wrong with that? Isn't Wikipedia littered with "last month's news"? Grand master ka 16:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep as per TBC. That's a good point. --Deville (Talk) 02:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep Given that Wikapedia is not paper I don’t see why we can’t keep her article. Seano1 02:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Weak Keep It needs a lot of work, but sometimes DOBs and other concrete info are hard to find.TKE 03:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep Based on the result of the recent first AFD, and no reason given this time (that wasn't rejected last time). Even without a prior AFD, I would vote keep, given the coverage, and the effect of the event. --Rob 03:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment:However, this is not an event article, this is a bio stub. Evereyone keeps conflating the event with the person: while the event may be notable, the person is not, which is a valid reason, and what I was trying to show the last time too. MSJapan 05:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, you could discuss making it an event article on the talk page, as a solution if you wish (e.g. a name change). I'm not recommending it, but it's a valid option, worth discussion. Deletion, as an option, has already been ruled out. We can not allow noms who fail, to simply keep trying until they get what they want. When you're point is "...what I was trying to show the last time too.", you're admitting you're just repeating yourself. What is the practical purpose of arguing the same thing, all over again? --Rob 06:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Because it's still valid - the article still fails the tests; it did three days after the fact, and it does now two weeks later. The basic issue with this not being AfDed is that people are (and were) confusing short-term popular consciousness (fifteen minutes of fame) with long-term notability (enough to be in an encyclopedia for all time, as it were). The claim before was that it would be expanded, but this has not happened in over two weeks, as evidenced by the history, and therefore is not likely to be expanded in future. The excuse that WP is not paper is not a blanket justification to include any old thing that comes to mind - if policies were meant to be exercised in a vacuum, there would be 47 million articles on absilutely anything on here, and there aren't. It was apparent then and it is apparent now that Kristi Yamaoka is only notable for falling on her head on video and waving her arms, not for any individual accomplishments. If nationwide news were a prerequisite, every disaster on record would need to be here on WP, which is why WP is neither a current events log nor a newspaper. MSJapan 17:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Just as a point of clarification, the previous AfD was not closed as "Keep". It was closed as "No consensus" which has, I believe, somewhat less weight. Fan1967 07:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

History of article creation has shown that once a legit article is created, exapansion follows. I'm watching for sixty days. TKE 07:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete per Fan (my cat, who is named "Saluki", will be mad, though). Joe 04:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep, barely notable enough. Maybe everything that will ever be written on her is already there, and that's just fine with me. Grand master ka 08:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep, asserts a bit of notability. --Ter e nc e Ong 10:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Unencyclopedic in the extreme. Marskell 11:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Keep. Article survived an AfD nom by the same user just 12 days ago. Obsessively renominating the same articles is highly disruptive and a violation of Wikipedia:Deletion policy. The massive media attention to Ms. Yamaoka's injuries led to changes in the great sport of cheerleading. That's why we need this article. -- JJay 13:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep per JJay. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 14:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment If the nominator cares enough, set a reminder to bring this back in July and I predict you will get a total of four to six votes, all to delete or merge. This is obviously unencyclopedic ephemera, but the bias for including recent news events on WP under the guise of encyclopedic content is simply too strong to allow for rational consensus to form while the item is still relatively fresh. The conflation of news coverage with notability is regrettable but understandable. Cf the Saugeen Stripper, which was roundly declared to be of immense encyclopedic value (ok that's an exaggeration) until the meme wore off and AFD was able happily to merge it back to obscurity where it belongs. Hasta julio. Eusebeus 14:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but that is false. The SS AfDs resulted in No Consensus. The merge set off a very nasty edit war. I hope that is not what you are suggesting. -- JJay 14:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, you are welcome to disagree with my personal view of course and you don't have to be sorry. But re the SS, by WP edit war standards it was more like a minor skirmish, the issue was resolved through a merge which stands as of now, and the 46-20 AfD vote to strip (sorry) the SS of a separate article was generally resolved, so my language may be flippant but the point is germane. And that was when the material was still rather fresh. By July, no-one will care and this can be dealt with without the interference of news-established notability obscuring the issue (which is not to say it would necessarily be deleted - that's just my prediction). Eusebeus 15:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Not to belabor the point, but the AfD you keep referring to closed as no consensus- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saugeen Stripper 2. Hence, there was no vote to strip, delete or merge anything. I also don't believe that anything was resolved. Furthermore, the comparison with SS is not even germane given the massive difference in news coverage. To my knowledge, the Saugeen Stripper, unlike Ms. Yamaoka, was never a guest on the Today show or featured on primetime news or the recipient of a call from President Bush. The SS also did not have an impact on organized sports. Instead of clouding the issue or playing with crystal balls, you should thus recognize that the keep voters here are perfectly "rational". -- JJay 16:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I think if there were a 3rd nomination, by a previously involved party, that would have to be seen as being intentionally disruptive to Wikipedia. --Rob 17:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Um, could you clarify? Which article are we talking about now? -- JJay 17:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I was referring to Kristi Yamaoka. Eusebeus suggested that the nom should wait till July, and renominate, to get a more favorable voter turn-out. I feel that type of approach would be disruptive. --Rob 17:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. My feelings on that were expressed with my initial comment. A failed prod followed by a failed AfD and now a second failed AfD should be an indication that it is time to move on. -- JJay 18:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, let's keep some perspective here. I think editors could well make a case that this is not a major event or a major subject, but given the tools typically used to determine relevance, the items listed by jjay to establish notability can distort encycopedic value. That is not to say that arguments for keeping this article are unfounded, but what I do think is somewhat irrational is using conflated google counts spawned by massive reproduction of a few wire stories to show encyclopedic value. Hence, in July, when those have disappeared, the issue can be addressed without this distortion. Per the point about disruption, I don't think renominating this for deletion when some distance has been established can be considered disruptive - that is simply acknowledging the bias of WP inclusion choices. We can disagree on this, surely, without deciding that one or another course of action is simply disruptive. Eusebeus 22:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

The argument that a handful of wire stories being replicated across a number of media outlets is an irrational basis for notability is, I think, missing the point. Each media outlet, from your local newspaper through to the biggest names in the business, make editorial decisions on what news items to run of the dizzying array of articles that come down over the wire every day. Every one of the media outlets that ran articles on Kristi Yamaoka thought it was newsworthy enough to be in their particular media outlet's output. It doesn't matter if it is a replica of a news wire article. The fact of the matter is hundreds of media outlets found the incident and the outcomes of it to be sufficiently news worthy. Trying to minimize the impact of this by saying the articles are replicates of each other entirely misses the point. Should we never include notable events in Wikipedia when such events only have one reporter handy to write a story first hand? --Durin 15:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep per TBC Maxamegalon2000 16:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
"Just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted." Keep per Jay. RGTraynor 17:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Lots of keep for this notable victim of cheerleading. - the.crazy.russian (T) (C) (E) 18:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep not so much for her herself, but because what directly resulted in what happened to her. Stev0 18:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep, that it made the news means it has already been "noted". —Pengo 01:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete. She fell on her head, she showed school spirit, the end. Her fifteen minutes of fame are long gone, and this isn't the Short-Attention-Span Wikipedia. --Calton | Talk 01:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep This survived AfD less than two weeks before it was renominated!?! Jcuk 07:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

With a no consensus vote, and a look at the history shows no substantial changes to the article since the 9th, which is almost three weeks ago. The issue is not when it wasa AfDed, but when this bcame non-notable. MSJapan 14:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep This individual quintessentially embodies a concept of continuing to do one's job under adversity beyond all expectations. Is there any better example of this concept to date in western culture? This could serve as the ultimate example of this phenomenon for generations to come. At this time, the correct decision is the one already made, which is to keep. WP is the place people should expect to be able to come and find information about transformative events and people such as this. cmsb705 28 March 2006
Keep: WP:BIO clearly states "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". Given all of the press attention, appearance on a number of TV shows, a call from the President of the United States, and ONGOING press coverage, the article clearly passes this requirement. The above statement that there is no news of her since March 11th is false as she's been mentioned in the Chicago Sun-Times and The Independent and been on the Ellen Degeneres Show of late. This article passes WP:BIO. If it doesn't, then a broad range of articles will need to be put up for AfD. For a sampling, see Kenneth Pinyan, Carlie Brucia, Brian Wells, Kayla Rolland, Mathias Rust, Jeremy Glick (September 11 attack victim), Randal McCloy, Roger Olian, Jason McElwain, Karen Louise Ellis, Pamela Rogers Turner. Furthermore, Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Limitations_on_renomination states in its first sentence that an article should not be immediately renominated unless there is a good reason for people to change their minds. The last AfD on this was 6 delete to 7 keep. In the 12 days since then, there's not anything to make this bio less notable, in fact rather the opposite. Currently, this AfD is 5 delete to 18 keep. --Durin 15:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment Suppose we have one "temporarily famous" person like this a week. That’s only 52 articles a year. In ten years there would be 520 people added to Wikipedia. There are 80286 entries in the Living people category. If every “person of the week” had been added to Wikipedia since its inception they would constitute less then .5% of the articles on living contemporary people. Ms. Yamaoka is probably closer to a person of the month on top of that. Seano1 21:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably person of the year or decade for cheerleaders. She is certainly one of my heros. -- JJay 21:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

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 Delete. My count of valid votes is 38 to delete (including 5 delete of merge, 4 delete and merge and 1 delete or transwiki to Wikiquote), 18 keep (inlcuding 1 merge or keep), and 18 merge (including the 'merge ands' and 'merge ors'). As the "merge and/or delete" votes can be taken as saying there shouldn't be a seperate article about this, and the transwiki vote saying that this doesn't belong on Wikipedia, then this is a consensus to delete. Many of the reasons given to delete focused on this article, whereas most of the reasons to keep were along the lines of "an unrelated incident has an article so this should have" - which doesn't explain why this article is notable enough. Thryduulf 15:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie_Sheen_and_Alex_Jones_interviews

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Apparently added due to the fact that consensus was that this interview was just a blip in the actor's bio; Striver created this fork to present the interview in its entirety. Individual interviews aren't notable of mention. This is not about the content; which is already on wiki. It's about how significant an actor's opinion is in the grand scheme of things. What's covered in this article?

Charlie Sheen is a member of the 9/11 truth movment, as stated in an interview with Alex Jones
- fine, belongs on his page and 9-11 truth movment page.
Content of interview and arguments regarding 9-11.
- definitely non-notable. The same arguments have been put forth in 9-11 conspiracy article. No reason to reproduce them just because an actor repeats them.
Media reaction
- non-notable. We don't see Jennifer Wilbanks categorizing every media response to the incident, and a handful of media references is far from a media frenzy.

Gee, looking at the "rules" listed on the Articles_for_deletion page and I fail to see the "Only count people with over 10 edits" rule. For the record I've made edits before (regarding the Oberon programming language) but I didn't bother with an account at that time. Anyway, did it ever occur to you that people with an interest in the subject simply ran accross the Charlie Sheen article via Google or Wikipedia search, saw that it had been listed for "deletion" then decided to say something about that? I hope the "powers that be" stick to the rules as stated, and not with the ones some people seem intent on making up as they go along. Nakedtruth 19:40, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Votes(discounting anon and users with <10 edits: Keep=17, Merge=10, Delete=37' - implicit that nom supports delete. Mmx1 00:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

As I said below, it's not a vote, just a picture of the opinion among established editors. Excluding new users avoids the bias from newly created accounts and sock/meatpuppets. I'm doing nothing that I haven't already seen "the powers that be" do, and I'm setting a lower threshold than they did.--Mmx1 19:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment It is not accepted policy to discount the votes of users with low edit counts. Also, accepted policy is that an article should be deleted when a rough consensus to delete has been reached (usually 75%, Not a simple majority), otherwise the article should remain. Seabhcán 15:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

This is intended not as a vote but as a summary of the body position(AfD isn't a vote to begin with, anyway). I'm not saying Delete/Keep because vote <> some percentage; just giving a summary of a very long vote/discussion page. I'm confounded somewhat that it's official policy that this is not a voting process, but still on the admin pages there was talk over stats of the vote tally for closing admins. Moreover, I've seen it used in practice by closing admins to exclude posters with low edit counts; particularly when there is indication of meat/sockpuppetry. Considering we got an influx of anons from the 911 eyewitness AfD just a few days ago, it's not unreasonable that there are still some socks around. The 75% you cite is one editor's opinion on that talk page; it's left up to editor's discretion and tends to be a wee bit lower in practice. --Mmx1 15:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep Sure, there have been other figures to come out and questioned 9/11, including a former member of Bush's own cabinent, but few interviews have garnered as much interest in as short a period of time. There is too much information on that one page to realistically merge it into Charlie Sheen's page, besides, as someone else pointed out, it's an interview between Sheen AND Jones. Does the "merge" group think it should be "merged" into both pages? Also one has to wonder why we're even having this debate. Is wikipedia running out of hard disk space?

While citability is a necessary criteria for inclusion, it's not a sufficient one. It's making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, he said he's a member of the 9-11 truth movement. That's about as notable as this event gets. You don't need an article discussing the very salient points he's making, especially when there are more intelligent people making those points. Man, don't you realize fame is usually inversely proportional to intelligence and that he's just parroting what he's heard. You might as well go right to the source and quote Alex Jones. Ya'll are aware that the political opinion of actors isn't very notable to begin with, right? First civil engineer to doubt 9-11 theories - notable. First actor - who cares?

Merge This article is a recent event about a set of theories that claim possible 'conspiracy' which in and of itself is not illegitimate for that. Conspiracy is by definition when a group gets together to commit an act. Like Lincoln's assassination and JFK's which more and more evidence indicates was a conspiracy by others. Alex Jone's does not just come up with quack conspiracy's but has massive documentation behind them. I do not agree with all his assertions but he is well sourced. Charlie Sheen is well known and this article fits wikipedia. He is not the only one who questions the official version of 9-11. Indeed it is not wrong to question, it is wrong to blindly follow anything the government says...Freemen are not Yes men, and Democracy encourages legitimate questions. Some in Academia are beginning to question 9-11 on the evidence alone. --Northmeister 06:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete and smerge back to either the actor or the conspiracy. This is neither the first nor the last cause a Hollywood actor has been involved in. In fact there is hardly a weird cause that doesn't have an actor supporting it, from PETA to the NRA to Earth First. We can't have a separate article for each of the cross product of "actors" x "causes" - squeeze it into one of them. GRuban 13:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

None of the causes you mentioned are this controversial, in fact, everyone of the causes you mentioned are perfectly mainstream. What makes this even unique is that it is the first time ever that American mainstream media covers someone from Hollywood who staunchly insists that the buildings where brought down by explosives: This has never been done before!--Striver 14:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, even the controversy doesn't make it worthy of an article in and of itself.

So? Charlie Sheen, Alex Jones (journalist), and the 9/11 Truth Movement also have articles. I'm not disputing that those articles are notable. It's just that I find the article about this interview should not have it's own article. jaco plane 23:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

As I see it, the 9/11 Truth Movement is a reasonably full page, and Charlie Sheen or Alex Jones (journalist) would be dominated by this information.

The 2002 Berlin controversy involving Michael Jackson article is currently undergoing votes for merger with the main Jackson article.

Please assume good faith, i did not know there was a difference, i dont appreciate the personal attack on my motives.--Striver 06:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

- Comment yes, previously he tried to pass off The Citizens' Commission on 9-11 as a "Congressional Hearing" to cite importance when it was really a hearing by 9/11 truth groups.--Jersey Devil 06:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I never did anything of the kind, bring the proof if you are truthfull! --Striver 06:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Striver, come on. This is Wikipedia, so every edit is public. I tend to think that anything you did in the past is not really relevant to this AfD discussion, but just try to be reasonable. jaco plane 06:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

"The commision is formed as a United States Congress hearing.", NOT "The commision is a United States Congress hearing.". A big difference. Any more proof for the baseless accusation?--Striver 07:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

To be fair, as Striver isn't American, he doesn't have the familiarity with American systems and the AJ bullshit doesn't ring on his bullshit detection as it does ours. However, a few points for you:

Congressional hearing implies Congress as a body heard the issue. In reality, one congresswomen held a hearing.
Showbiz tonight....well, you may not realize it wasn't on CNN, but just from title of the show? This isn't a hard-hitting investigative news show like Chris Matthews or 60 Minutes. They typically cover who's sleeping with who and who's snorting coke this week. Do we have an article on the Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston breakup? (actually never mind, we probably do :-( ). How about the nth time Gary Busey checks into the Betty Ford clinic? (a drug rehab clinic)
Similarly for Robert Bowman and Morgan Reynolds's claims.

Striver, you might want to consider how credible these people are if they're exaggerating and misrepresenting the significance of things like these. People have been fired for less significant misrepresentations than Bowman and Reynolds are guilty of.

Are you saying that the Charlie Sheen/Alex Jones interview isn't notable because it was reported on Showbiz Tonight? Seabhcán 15:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Not phrasingly it so black and white, I'm just pointing out that it's not as earth-shatteringly large as it's been presented. It didn't appear on CNN as part of International news, it appeared as part of a fluff show on celebrity gossip. ::::::::--Mmx1 15:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

For me that doesn't reach the threshold of 'non-notable'. There are plenty of things on wikipedia that have never been in the news at all, never mind on CNN international news. Should we delete them all? Seabhcán 16:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

If there were substantial clean-up efforts, parts could be merged either into the 9/11 Truth Movement or into the Charlie Sheen article. As it is, it looks like an archive of a pseudo-transcript.

Isisnosiris, Attributing motivation to others is seldom useful for producing anything other than offense. I don't see any "fear" among these comments, only people who put more emphasis on notability and others who emphasize the content or political context of the article. These are just interests that sometimes coincide and at other times compete with one another. Please avoid the pop psychologizing. Thanks. Ande B 23:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

How does this fullfill the criteria of a POV fork? Its not trivia if people call out for a "Demonstration of Gratitude". It was covered in the sheen article, but voices was raised since it dominated the article, so in accordance to Wikipedia:How to break up a page, it is given its own page. make sure you read that before you cry out "pov fork", and also read about what POV forking is not.--Striver 14:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flies Inside The Sun

Non-notable (and speedy-deletable) per WP:BAND, but db-band and prod contested. Notability in a very limited context is not notability in general. dcandeto 00:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete, no notability asserted, fails Keep per WP:MUSIC. Royboy crashfan 00:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep. This band were a prominent part of a 1990s experimental music movement in New Zealand. The movement, sometimes labelled 'free-noise', was well known in experimental music circles around the world, and was a distinctive sub-genre. A Google search for "Flies Inside The Sun" reveals that this band's releases are stocked by numerous notable suppliers (such as Forced Exposure, Volcanic Tongue, Southern) and have been reviewed in numerous notable magazines (both online and print) (including Dusted, ~~Pitchfork~~, Arthur etc).

The point is that there is clearly no need for , and there should not be an afd page, apart from an absurd notion of how to pervert the course of justice on wikipedia. Why did anyone do it? Lets have it in the open.moza 05:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment I'm not perverting anything. Please read WP:NPA and WP:AGF before continuing down this path. dcandeto 11:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Good faith? is prod and afd (without prior discussion) ever done in good faith? is saying that musicians are not notable when they have published recordings not a personal attack? I'm simply insisting that you practice what you preach, justice, nothing personal, I have no idea who you are, so ts impossible. I see that you are back working on your own article so thats good. Good faith says to discuss PRIOR to force deletion debate. NPA applies to the subjects of the articles as well, when they are real and named people, not hiding behind a mask. Paul Moss. moza 13:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

sorry for usage of your and you, I accept that it could be misconstrued. I altered them to what they should have been. "perverting the course of justice" is a standard legal term in western society, and it is my POV that it applies to many afd sagas, and especially this one here. Now, how about an apology to the musicians named in the article, that have been attacked?moza 13:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

A nomination to delete is not a personal attack and should never be construed as such. See Wikipedia:Guide to deletion, because it discusses this. There is nothing in WP:AFD or WP:AGF that insists on using the talk page before a deletion nomination, but there is something about "Well-meaning people make mistakes, and you should correct them when they do. You should not act like their mistake was deliberate. Correct, but don't scold." Please don't scold, Paul, because the nomination was an honest mistake. Ziggurat 19:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

well now thats the point, you also believe that there is nothing to indicate disussion first. How could a well meaning person make such a mistake if they followed the clear policy of discussion first? oh my finger slipped on the afd button? afd should never be a mistake. A nominate to delete a group of persons MUST be an attack on those persons, not the wiki community, lets not confuse that here. This is not about a wiki person, this is about a process, hurting real people out there, not in here. Lets stop getting sidetracked! you can quote all you like about deletion policy references, and it will be about just that, deletion. I'm trying to discuss discussion policy to prevent deletion, thats just a tad different. My point is that these very smoke screens often prevent justice.moza 02:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

A nomination to delete a Wikipedia article about a group of people is not an attack on those people or an attempt to delete them - Wikipedia:Guide to deletion is very clear about that. You are construing it as such, but it is not. An AFD merely indicates "I do not believe that this article is of the necessary standard to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia." The reason that there is a discussion on AfD is that sometimes mistakes are made. And about getting sidetracked - a deletion discussion is not the appropriate forum to talk about these things. If you feel that Wikipedia policy is inappropriate, propose a change and discuss it on the talk page of the policy in question or at the Village Pump. Ziggurat 02:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

On the contrary, I am happy with deletion policy, this is about pre-deletion policy. Its not the policy that is under attacke, but the use of it. There is a difference. This discussion is more about mental set and setting. What better place to discuss injustice, than where it is happening? And why not debate the pre-deletion policy (discussion, assistance, good faith) rather than again sidetarcking it to deletion policy?moza 04:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

And the nominator has clearly stated that such discussion is to take place here.moza 04:03, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't have to do with WEB, it's just my personal decision on notability. I read the article, there are too many red links and that bothers me, but it's an artistic social circle which may or may not prove relevant, and we're not a crystal ball. However, many such art communes have ended up making lasting contributions to culture; that's my extended resoning. TKE 05:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I know this person very well. She might not have enough google hits... but her name is not common. for example, John Smith could be the editor, and no duh it would have a lot of google hits. Are you aware she really was an editor. She represented New Edinburgh. Check the Wikipedia article on that. If you read the article on her, she did more than be an editor. She also got nomminated for ottawa's women award. Isn't that a big achievement? So keep the article, so more people can learn about someone local to Ottawa.
- I hate to say this anon user, but there are tons of article on folks from Ottawa who deserve them. Your person isn't encyclopedic. Besides, anon users don't get a vote. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 00:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

The only thing in the article that could meet WP:BIO is her editorships (being nominated for, but not winning, an award is below the radar, particularly for local awards). Anyone know the circulation figures for the New Edinburgh News and Manor Park Chronicle? They're both community papers. I happen to have the Kitchissippi Times (Hintonburg/Westboro) here, with a circulation of 16,700, so assuming that that's not exceptional for an Ottawa community paper I have to say keep. — mendel ☎ 20:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

  - Sorry, that was kind of ugly, wasn't it? I mean: Ok, per WP:BIO, the only possibility is her editorships. Assuming her neighbourhood papers have circulation like the neighbourhood paper of my neighbourhood, then she meets that, so keep.

The circulation for the "New Edinburgh News" is really high. The newspaper goes to some local embassies and goes to the Governor General and Prime Minister. Any other community papers that go to high power figures? Will in world
- It doesn't mean they read it. And that would only make the paper notable, remotely, not this person. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 20:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete; the paper might deserve an article with a circulation figure like that, but that doesn't extend to its editor unless she's done more than just edit a community newspaper...like, has she been a columnist in the National Post or the Ottawa Citizen? (Tangentially, I'm personally curious to know if she's at all related to k-os, but that knowledge wouldn't actually change my vote.) Bearcat 22:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Tremont30 is not a sock puppit of me. Just to clarify that. Keep this article for one of the other reasons why... She was the first editor of those papers to start the layout electronically. She also interviews Adrienne Clarkson, a huge achievement for a local community editor. Can you name anyone else? Carolyn is knwo across New Edinburgh that a majority a residents in New Edinburgh were saddended tha she was leaving. If you keep this article, more people can learn about her. A lot of musicians weren't known until they died. Just keep that into consideration. Will in world

She was the first editor of those papers to start the layout electronically. This is not a criterion that makes her notable. If she'd been the first newspaper editor in the world to ever use electronic layout, you'd have a point, but being the first one at a specific local community paper simply isn't encyclopedia-worthy.
She also interviews Adrienne Clarkson, a huge achievement for a local community editor. This is not a criterion that makes her notable. Lots of people have interviewed Adrienne Clarkson over the years; it's not a feat that automatically makes someone deserving of their own article.
Carolyn is knwo across New Edinburgh that a majority a residents in New Edinburgh were saddended tha she was leaving. This is not a criterion that makes her notable to anyone outside of New Edinburgh. This is a worldwide encyclopedia, not the encyclopedia of New Edinburgh.

Bottom line: nothing you've said makes her notable enough to be on here. Bearcat 02:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe she was the first on to start the layout electronically. Do you know anyother papers that started their layout before 2003, most likely but you don't know.A lot of people who interview Adrienne Clarkson are mainly people who work for big papers, but is it really often for a person working for a community paper? Can you answer me that? Maybe she is not known, but maybe in the future she will be known. Her husband works for the Canadian Foreign Service, maybe their will be an article on him, and might need one on his wife. So instead of looking at the present, think about the future. There are a lot of articles on wives of famous people. Also, (i know i told you this), but read the article. She is a diplomat, mother, activist, defender and newspaper editor. Does she more than that to get on to Wikipedia? Tell me. I really want to know.

Will in world

Do you know anyother papers that started their layout before 2003, most likely but you don't know. Um, I personally worked at a newspaper that was using electronic layout in 1994. And, ironically enough, it was in Ottawa, which means Carolyn's paper wasn't even the local leader in that regard, let alone a worldwide one. It wasn't even a particularly radical new approach when we did it.
Does she more than that to get on to Wikipedia? Yes, she does have to do more than that; she has to be notable, for one. Bearcat 23:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Printed newspapers publishing real content of general interest, at press for thirteen years and running, are notable. Samaritan 05:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
The editor of a local community newspaper was a perfectly legitimate deletion; it's hard to make a claim that such people are notable enough for articles. However, for the publications themselves, the baseline criterion for inclusion is (or at least was, at one time — I can't seem to find the media criteria at the moment) a circulation of 5,000 copies or more, which this one certainly meets.

Keep. Major Ottawa neighbourhood, and this is its community paper. Skeezix1000 12:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete. The neighborhood may be notable, but the newspaper hasn't got any verifyable presence other than some of its stories being copied to the community website. We can't reliably independently verify its existence, much less circulation numbers, content, etc. I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but someone has to find the sources. Scanning in the circulation description from one of the recent editions (if Canadian postal regulations require one like US do) would probably be good enough, if someone can do that. Georgewilliamherbert 21:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Re the postal regulations, they don't. However, circulation information would certainly be helpful. Samaritan 23:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Such information would be useful, so I e-mailed them a couple of days ago asking about circulation and advertising rates. I received no reply. Maybe it's a non-profit paper. Or maybe it's somebody's hobby. Rklawton 05:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Lindenlea: this article makes it clear that the New Edinburgh News isn't a commercial newspaper at all. It is produced by the Edinburgh community association. Rklawton 06:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep Moe ε 02:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Notable paper with a notable article featuring notable editors in a notable encyclopedia. It should be noted that notability is notably dependent on POV. Wikipedia as a notable encyclopedia serving the notable, less notable and not at all notable (not that this includes any of my notable colleagues who are notably here today), should notably strive to present notably unbiased information by ignoring our notably POV tainted notability censors and gendarmes. -- JJay 21:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Can you verify, in any way, the paper? Verifyability is the other cornerstone for WP. Georgewilliamherbert 22:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  - I have reread the nomination a few times and this nom has not in any way claimed that this paper does not exist or that there are verifiability issues with its two lines of text. Are you claiming that this is a hoax? That would be most troubling. Of course, the fact that it is listed in Ottawa newspaper lists [15] and [16] would seem to prove its existence. -- JJay 00:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
    - There are plenty of suggestive links around. I am not proposing that it doesn't in any form exist. I don't even think that. What I am saying is that we don't have enough info to verify that it's big enough or covers notable enough subjects to be a notable paper. I could start publishing a quarterly pamphlet out of my home, about events on my block, and set up as much web coverage and presence that NEN has, within 24 hours. We need some verifyable evidence that this isn't a vanity publication... like, circulation information, article information, etc. Anything... And so far we have nothing. For the love of god, someone who lives in Ottowa, please find a copy and scan it in or something. We need more than a few links and a Wikipedia page to base this decision on. Georgewilliamherbert 01:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Yes, I respect your point of view, but you seem to be drifting back to that notability thing again, even going so far as to use the word "notable" twice in the second sentence of your response. I feel like I adequately expressed my feelings on that in my initial comment above. Since we both believe to the depths of our beings that this rag exists, there would seem to be little matter for debate between us, although I would tend to agree that further expansion from the article's modest beginnings may require additional information. -- JJay 01:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
    - Let's back up a bit. You repeatedly say this is a notable newspaper. How can I verify that. What evidence (verifyable evidence) can you put forwards to justify the claim that it's notable? Georgewilliamherbert 02:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  - You seem to have missed the sense of what I was trying to say. I suggest you read the deletion nomination for this page. Then read my comment. -- JJay 02:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
    - I am not missing the point. We're both aikido-throwing each other. Unfortunately, Wikipedia policy on articles requires notability, defined in a verifyable manner, and not simple existential philosophical arguments as to whether particular things are measurable or not and whether there's any indepentent poitn of view to be found. You can keep going, but you aren't fulfiling the Wikipedia requirement to keep the article, and it's going to get nuked. Georgewilliamherbert 02:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Please point me to that policy page. Also, since you have already determined that this article is going to "get nuked", why did you ask me a question in the first place? -- JJay 02:31, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

- - - [[Wikipedia:Verifiability] Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not Wikipedia:Reliable sources. And you are mistaking the tense of the nuking comment: failing to support the article's notability and verifyability will lead to its deletion, which will happen because you're engaging in word games rather than providing verifyable sources on the NEN (and nobody else has, either). You can, in fact, change that outcome... by finding and providing adequate references. Georgewilliamherbert 02:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  - I am perfectly satisfied that the paper exists as indicated by the two links I have provided. You have admitted as much yourself. The article itself is two lines long and makes no claims beyond its existence. Note, as well, that this nomination is based solely on "non-notability". The nom has made no effort to explain what is meant by that and has offered no evidence to back up the claim. That does not work for me, because to spell things out in plain language and for the last time, notability does not enter into my thinking. I do not believe in that tattered POV concept since its definition varies from individual to individual. What is "notable" for you is not "notable" to me, etc. etc. Thus, it has no bearing on me when considering a school, newspaper, book, film or numerous other categories of articles. I will not now, or in the future, make a vain attempt to support this article on that basis. If we have a guideline page for weekly newspapers that lists certain criteria that should be met, I would be perfectly happy to see New Edinburgh News judged accordingly. Since to my knowledge we do not have this guideline, and we have no real policy on "notability", I choose to apply my personal criteria, which is that all newspapers should have pages here, including community newspapers, school newspapers, pennysavers, whatever. If these are word games that lead to the "nuking" of this article, depriving our readers now and in the future, of any knowledge of New Edinburgh News, then I stand accused.-- JJay 03:00, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep, googling the phrase gets 10,000+ hits, most of which relate the post-familyguy usage boom, and most do not reference FG. It's a persistent language meme, and people will inevitably search for the meaning and origin of the phrase when they see it used, and they don't understand it.

[edit] Defend Colorado Now

afd per Wikipedia is not a soapbox and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and probably for violating NPOV, hundreds of ballot initiatives are proposed, the number that even make it to the ballot is tiny, the number that actually get passed is even smaller, to include every posited ballot initiative on wikipedia would be ridiculious AdamJacobMuller 04:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

- There is a Wikipedia article for the Proposition 200 initiative in Arizona, so the Defend Colorado Now entry could be viewed as a similar article. This initiative is particularly important as it is a current event related to the very topical illegal immigration debate that is occuring this year. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Angner (talk • contribs) 2006-03-27 00:39:25 EST (UTC)
  - Can you please link us to this article, it does not show up as Proposition 200 initiative or Proposition 200 or any other permeutations of that that I tried AdamJacobMuller 08:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    - Weak Keep The article is here: Arizona Proposition 200 (2004) There is also an article for California Proposition 187 (1994). Certainly, if this issue makes the ballot, it will be pretty notable. While its true that many initiatives don't get on the ballot, this does have the backing of a former Democratic governor of the state and one of the state's Republican congressmen. If it doesn't get on (it didn't get on in 2004), then I would say bring back the AfD. Montco 04:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Weak delete Vote changed in light of the references and discussion cited below. I still don't think it's notable enough for an article - most of the references cited are very short one-off mentions of the site, rather than a proper review/commentary on it. If it's increasing in use as rapidly as suggested, it may well be worthy of an article soon, but not yet. Kcordina ^Talk 08:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep and comment Paul Cyr 18:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

The website meets WP:WEB as it meets the requirement "The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster" as it has been sourced by Apple.com: http://www.apple.com/applescript/news/ and http://www.apple.com/applescript/resources/
According to WP:GT nearly 16,000 websites contain the term "xvsxp.com".
According to WP:GT Alexa ranks XvsXP.com at 188,519, having gone up 100,642 places in the past 3 months. A very strong change.
As well, although not exactly the best support, I have had Apple representatives at my work mentioning XvsXP.com. Obviously this shows the site is well known.
The following Wikipedia articles reference XvsXP: Operating system advocacy, Apple typography.

EDIT: How's this for notability?

http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/episodes/3495/Chewbacca_Speaks_the_EFF_Google_Darktips.html

So not only have Apple.com and numerous websites had mentionings of XvsXP, but the TechTV television show The Screen Savers even had an airing on XvsXP.

Delete. Not notable, original research; it seems to me it fails WP:WEB (despite article author's assertions to the contrary): Apple is not an online newspaper, magazine, publisher or broadcaster. Bucketsofg 18:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe that is what the sentance means. The footnote says "Content that is distributed by independent online sites will almost certainly satisfy the first criterion." I beleive that it is saying that online media is inclusive to the criteria, not a condition. Otherwise, how is a site such as Neowin permitted? It doesn't appear to meet WP:WEB yet it is permitted. As well, how is it original research? Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research, but it does have articles on sites that conduct original research. Take Gartner for example. Paul Cyr 18:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, a link from Apple's cite, or any web magazine, etc., would not meet this criteria. I take this guideline to imply that any significant article in a significant venue about a web-site is evidence of its notability. The fact that Apple provides a simple link to the site's comparison of Apple scripting to XP scripting does not establish notability. Secondly, the question of original research pertains to your article. How do you know any of the stuff that you write in the article? Cite your sources. There are none? Why, because it is stuff you know from your involvement with the site: that's original research. I want to emphasize that none of this is a criticism of the site, which may be very good, or of your article. It's just in my opinion this is not what wikipedia is about. Bucketsofg 19:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand your points, which is why I did not vote a strong keep, and I realise the article is borderline non-notable, however, I do feel that it is in the end a notable website. Of course, this is why we are voting, as my opinion may not be the consensus of the community. However, I still do not see any original research from what I've added (there have been multiple contributors to the article, FYI). The overview is pretty much right from the website introduction. A web archive lookup will show the original page by the founder stating the original criteria of the site. The critisism is the only part that may be known from those involved with the site, but I refer to Slashdot trolling phenomena as an example of first-hand knowledge that is almost entirely unsourced. Unless someone were to make a list of external links showing a trend of trolling on Slashdot, are you claiming that it should not be mentioned in the article? And believe me, after being on a site such as XvsXP for as long as I have, I completely understand that although you disagree with my opinions, it is not an issue with myself or the site. :) Paul Cyr 19:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I realize that you have spent a great amount of time on that site and are passionate about promoting it, but Wikipedia is not the place to do so. Please see WP:WEB note 4. Bige1977 01:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

No, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with policies on what is eligable to have an article. If I didn't honestly feel that the site met WP:WEB, I wouldn't have created the article. Please don't confuse a good-faith attempt to create an article with petty self-promotion (self in this case being the website I am a member of). Also, I would appriciate if you would respond to the points I raised on your vote before commenting in discussions about other votes. Paul Cyr 18:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: In light of more evidence, I have changed my vote to strong keep for the reasons mentioned in my original vote. Paul Cyr 19:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

comment. Sorry, Paul, but I still don't think this is sufficient. If every website that gets a two-line write up and/or link gets an entry at wikipedia, it would soon become a web directory. Or, let's put it another way. Here is a full-blown news story about my blog, which is in my opinion not wiki-worthy. To get my vote, you need several stories like that, in similar venues (CTV is the second largest Canadian TV network), preferably over a period of time. Bucketsofg 19:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Q. Nguyen

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.

Note: Comments by suspected single-purpose accounts can be tagged using {{subst:spa|username}}

So now every high school student with a few thousand hours of community service on their resume and a few newspaper cites deserves a WP article. Tried a speedy delete on Michael Nguyen, admin deleted it then the article was moved here. Subsequent speedy delete was not even contested, just removed by the two adamant editors. I think its pretty much clear that this does not meet WP notability. --User208.251.153.9 00:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC) NOTE: User's first edit to Wikipedia.

Keep , in contrast to viewpoint above. As seen in the history of the page of Michael Q. Nguyen, the delete was in fact contested by another WikiPedia user, and the acusations brought forth upon this User208.251.153.9 is invalid. Please see this link and contestation made by user Khoi. The link address is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Q._Nguyen&diff=45610878&oldid=45608678. SallyD1265 06:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Unclosing AFD - previously closed and speedied by me [33] after a misunderstanding of the note left in thie history of Michael Nguyen, so restoring all the relevant pages for a proper AfD discussion. My fullest apologies. --HappyCamper 00:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

<Took out comments, made by user - withdrawn> 69.227.174.34 06:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

<Removed previous discussion comment made by myself> SallyD1265 06:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

According to User208.251.153.9 above, I disagree. Although I have tried to improve the article to make it become more of WikiPedia's standards, the article itself could be further improved. I don't believe admin deleted this particular article (only the redirect move from SallyD1265.) Although I have only restructured how the information was presented originally by author SallyD1265, and have read/heard bits of information on Michael from several people through making my contribution, the speedy deletion was always contested and the original speedy deletion was deleted upon changing the article. I stuck to WP's standards. To settle this dispute, the subject of the context, Michael Nguyen, should be contacted in order to state whether he may want his information disclosed like this. KhoiFish 04:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

PS. Not every high school student can achieve a high number of hours such as this. 1,000 hours is equivalent to approximately 47 days without rest (working 24 hours a day), therefore making it significant. A typical (non-homeschooled) student on average spends approx. 8 hours a day on education, I believe (from time spent at school.) This article seeks to inspire others to follow his example and state that despite going to school, one can also achieve in other things as well. KhoiFish 04:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not trying to produce a not worthy WP article, however this subject has caught my attention as a figure who has potential to develop himself. His work that he's done for others should speak for itself. KhoiFish 04:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete not notable. Doing charity work and being involved in minor up-and-coming political work is not sufficient. As for academic awards at high school, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adrian Khoo.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete per Blnguyen. Youth council, volunteer work, has appeared as the "spotlight kid" on the local news a couple of times, won some minor awards... not sufficient per WP:BIO. Perhaps someday he will be encyclopedically notable, but after reading the article, I see nothing that is at this point. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep per SallyD1265. (moved decision) - after withdrawn old ruling. More: Just would like to comment on user Denaar's comments - Orange County, California and Los Angeles County, California is one of the most industrialized and populous areas. Newspapers and media from around the area mainly focus on crime and improvements, not only student achievement. To surpass and make the headlines in the region is something that must be distinguished and not "just another kid" who does charity work. In addition, Denaar stated that kids "work" more than 11.5 hours a week - is this voluntary or paid? As stated in the article, Michael's work has all been UNPAID. - Hard to live in Orange County, California (per homes/territorial costs) with an unpaid position, if you ask me. This shows unselfishness, dedication, and his good quality work to be a great asset to the community. Not many people work without a salary or no monetary gain for themselves. End. 69.227.174.34 17:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- None of which is relevant to inclusion standards. "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events" and "persons being featured in the paper" are, to me, two completely different things. Why should we have an article on him and not about every other person mentioned in the links provided (for example, here)? No one is denying that this student is doing good things, and I certainly wish him the best in the future, but at the same time, I'm hard pressed to find, even among all of the keep recommendations, any indication of meeting WP:BIO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinu (talk • contribs)
- Wait, wait. Volenteer work helps with admission into hard-to-get-into Colleges and Universities. Are you telling me he won't benefit from this? Its great for his resume, he will definately benefit, as he has obvious political aspirations. Nothing he has done meets the WP:BIO inclusion standards. Therefore it doesn't belong here. I also would be shocked to find a newspaper that does NOT have human interest stories, even the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times have human interest stories. Denaar 01:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - It is true that volunteer work helps with admission into hard-to-get-into colleges and universities, however, excessive volunteer service and low academic marks does not merit or suffice getting an acceptance. Colleges are looking for well rounded students who are lucid and demonstrate excellence in both academics and extracurriculars. It doesn't state exactly anywhere in the article Mr. Nguyen's GPA and/or test scores, however it does state that he's in the Troy Tech and International Baccalaureate Programs and Troy High School is the 21st Ranked HS in the Nation, that does have some say in that he's not just another person, but at least a bright kid. I remember back in my high school years I didn't have that much community service or awards to talk about. 69.227.174.34 01:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

MORE: It seem as if the "CHOC" linked article back to the Orange County Register, plus look at the date (2004, Sept. 25) -doesn't state how many hours or specific achievements; it only speaks about one aspect about [those] respective individuals. It only serves as a summary of one activity. The focus should be on the work done in other accomplishments that are notable, such as (for example, [34]) Still, there are probably more places on the net, however not yet posted in the article's external links. 69.227.174.34 18:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC) ADDITION: As per meeting WP:BIO The following statement(s) are present: "The following types of people may merit their own Wikipedia articles, as there is likely to be a good deal of verifiable information available about them and a good deal of public interest in them. This is not intended to be an exclusionary list. Just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted." Those bullet points do not make a complete listing of what should be put on or off Wikipedia, only as a guideline. If the person has influenced many people, isn't that go towards the public liking him? (i.e. if he does good work, not bad.) I agree with user Kinu that not everyone should merit an article on WikiPedia, however those who exemplify something that surpasses the overall population should be taken into consideration as well. Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales has called it "an effort to create and distribute a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language." and through this the more significant articles that they have the better. This is one of them. My perception is that hoax articles and "trashy" written ones who present one-time non-notable achievements should be put away and speedy deleted. This article, is different in that it is different in consistency and with progressing achievements. It has a good chance of being expanded in the future, as Michael goes on to continue his work with this pace. 69.227.174.34 19:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete per Kinu. Denaar 12:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC) More: 1800 hours in 3 years is 11 hours a week. Many high school kids have jobs that are more than 11.5 hours a week, I know I did. I was on the front cover of my local newspaper 4 times in Jr High/High School, I'm certainly not notable (enough for Wiki ^o^). Local news coverage, local awards, student seat on a local government? This is all "15 minutes of fame." Looks like a vanity article to help the future career of this student. Denaar 17:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep per KhoiFish. Michael Nguyen has recently been recognized by the latino-dominated culture of the City of Santa Ana for presenting "the volunteerism experience" to school district board members and was featured on Adelphia Communication's Southern California News, in three appearances. Although media is limited, it is rare for a high school student to be featured numerous times during their time in school as well.

- Comment - If being in the newspaper twice wis good enough, then I am entitled to a WP page also??`Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 00:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment - Um, in response to your comment, a person would have to know more about your life in order to render such a decision of either to be on WikiPedia or not. Specifically, being on the paper doesn't mean much, only the things accomplished that really matter. This young man out of the hundreds of thousands of teens in the region where he lives HAS made a difference and benefitted others from the things that he does. The role of the Media serves to depict him to others who he has not had a chance to come in contact with about his life. 69.227.174.34 01:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    - Comment - Exactly. I'm not notable. Student politicians are not notable (I didn't get in the paper because of politics though). That's what Youth Councils are - youth members of political parties join them.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
      - Comment - On your statement above: "student politicians are not notable" - are you discriminating/stereotyping everyone to never be notable. This is outrageous. What you're saying is that if you're a student, you basically are worthless and haven't accomplished anything. It is a bit prejudicial. 69.227.174.34 01:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
        
        Comment - In the context of what we are talking about, " student politicians are not notable " - means that they are not notable, unless they do something more with it, that it is not a sufficient baseline criteria. "Not notable" also means not sufficient to be included for WP, this does not mean that they are useless.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Please add note: I know that I am a new WikiPedia user, however I did not receive any outside intervention or recommendation to partake in the deletion discussion for this article. The reason that I believe for this article to be noteworthy is because I have witnessed myself the leadership ability of Michael, by knowing him indirectly through school organizations. He is a unique - or if not - freakish individual when it comes to Community Service. As by WikiPedia standards, I know that everyone has a say and I am in no way trying to violate this policy by asserting my opinion.

It is ignorance that breeds all the conspiracy theories and prejudice about Freemasons. Power to the young masons I say! The artice however is too boastful.

[edit] Genomeceutical

Does not belong on Wikipedia: newly coined word that lacks importance. Appears to be in use by only one person. The article has remained unedited for six months with a "lacks importance" tag and is linked to by one page (a list). The content is not verifiable. The example of glucosamine does not make sense as it was developed 30 years ago and is sold as a pharmaceutical in Europe. Prithason 07:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep. The article might have been created purely to promote a naturopathic treatment for autism. And the term might be a neologism coined by commercial interests. BUT: (1) Previous failed AfD vote is here Articles_for_deletion/Genomeceutical. And there is a scholarly reference here [36] with references of its own, so the term appears to be in use by the academic community. The article may be of inferior quality, but I don't think that's a reason to delete. Slowmover 20:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- The term does not appear to be in use by any academic community. The reference cited above is to an article written by an undergraduate student, and cites a paper by Mark Brudnak in a journal called "Medical Hypotheses"; he appears to have coined the word and is the only user of the word that I could find in journal articles. Outside of the academic community, a few pages cite him and his definition, but not many (Google test results above). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prithason (talk • contribs)

Also note the previous AfD had only 2 comments plus the nom, one of which was from a banned sock with a history of editing autism articles.Thatcher131 19:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete The term is found in Medline/Pubmed only in articles written by Mark Brudnak, VP of MAK Wood, a manufacturer of dietary supplements. The only use in the medical literature (by Brudnak) is towards the benefits of creatine, and there are no uses of the term as it relates to autism. Removing the unsourced material would leave a stub defining a neologism; the term itself is probably worthless as a medical term as "naturally occurring compounds, which are able to affect gene expression" applies to thousands of drugs from aspirin to zeomycin. If the term becomes generally accepted a new article could be created. Thatcher131 19:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Art.Net

Page was originally nominated for a speedy and then changed to a prod by Samuel Blanning. Was then deprodded by 71.141.135.76 claiming that it met notability because of awards listed at http://www.art.net/about/awards.html. However, all of these awards date back to 1996, a time when the internet was in a much more infantile stage, and awards had much less significance. Furthermore, all of these awards appear to be of dubious significance, none of them are listed in Category:Awards and some of them are vague such as "Top 5% of all Web Sites"

When the article was originally created I assumed good faith in that it could be cleaned up and kept regardless of its notability, however it's creator Art.net and other anonymous users (whom I suspect are the same) continue to remove {{fact}} tags (without citing anything), insert numerous links to the website into the article, and make other changes that turn the article into nothing more than a blatant advertisement. --Hetar 08:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it true that {{fact}} and {{citation needed}}, which replaced the deleted fact tag are the same? --James S. 10:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, those two tags are simillar, but edits like [37] where the fact tag was replaced with an edit summary of "its true" are what I was talking about. --Hetar 16:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Notable website. Stev0 18:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep . art.net's page is worth keeping for at least two reasons.

1) It's history as one of the earliest art sites, one of the earliest cooperative sites on the Internet, and a site that has encouraged people who are not artists to produce art, and post it on the WWW.

2) More importantly, it's courageous participation with the ACLU in defending freedom of speech on the Internet. These are acts of public citizenship of the highest order and should be cited in wikipedia. As acts within and from the Internet community, they are one of the earliest examples of a web site doing so. These acts are similar to those of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the League for Programming Freedom, the GNU Project, the Free Software Foundation, among others.

Wikipedia promotes itself on each of it's pages. And explicitly asks for donations in TWO places on most pages. How is this different then what little self-promotion there is in this art.net page?

I suggest wikipedia err on the side of inclusivity, and delete pages rarely.

Who I am: I've been involved with the Internet and it's predecessors for four decades. I remember what the ARPAnet was like when it was less then 255 sites (and the transitions to larger address spaces). And many of the disputes that have occurred along the way. What mailing lists should be allowed. What USENET newsgroups should be allowed. Working with rabbit, chuq, et al in defining what USENET netiquette should be. Etc. Reviewing and improving RFCs who numbers had only three digits in them, and the 100th (3 digits ;-) web site, and seeing both efforts grow. Etc.

BTW, I helped rms write the GNU Free Documentation License (which wikipedia uses) as well as the GPL, GLPL, etc. as a Director of the Free Software Foundation from it's start for a decade plus [38] [39].

Disclaimer: I've supported art.net since it's earliest days. And am one of the creative software shapers it encouraged to also be an artist. As an Internet activist, I encouraged it's work with the ACLU.

Note Art.Net runs Apache which generates nightly logs that show the number of unique hosts visiting the site on the previous day as well as the number of full HTML pages viewed during that same period. The numbers quoted in the article were dated the day before this article was first created on wikipedia.org. Am not sure how we would post the results as proof on the page...

Followup to Note above The access reports for Art.Net just came in for yesterday (Mar 28 2006) and show that on that day Art.Net received a total of 64,540 html page views made by 9272 unique hosts. The total number of accesses (minus errors) was 187,732 which were made by 15,610 unique hosts. These numbers are pretty consistant on weekdays. Art.net 03:22, 29 March 2006 (PST)

ETA: I see a conflict in the objections to the web page. Some people complain about too many links into art.net (I've asked Lile to tone this down), but others complain about lack of citations. How should this be resolved?

Keep The above arguments for the relevance of free-speech history are quite persuasive. Also, 450 artists in one place seems noteworthy. Quoting from Wikipedia policy: If in doubt, don't delete. And with regard to the comment above, suggesting that the anonymous contributors are the same person as Art.net: Remember to please always assume good faith. Disclosure: I know art.net's webmaster.

Keep Art.net represents all the good things that the Internet aspires to be – freedom, community, mutual support and most of all social entrepreneurship. Art.net is a NOT-for-profit entity, which helps artists show their work. As such, it is essential that Wikipedia, a new source of knowledge and cultural history, recognize the value of art communities like Art.net...Lile Elam, the founder of Art.net, is a recognized leader in the realm of civil rights, cyberspace and a social entrepreneurship. She has donated her time and energy to supporting ACLU struggles to protect freedom. She has turned her technical and creative acumen into an online gallery for artists around the world. Her story and the story of Art.net deserve to be documented. --Tamara Colby 00:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep As an artist, I feel that Art.Net is an important and notable site on the Internet and WWWeb. It is a place where artists can share freely, without fear. It is a place where artists can take a stand and say,
"Yes, I believe in the freedom of choice, the freedom to be free, and the freedom to share!"
It is a site that deserves to be known and shared.
It is a place where freedom can be born, to blossom and grow. It is a ship, a water shead, a safe harbor, a place of hope... a shining light in the dark night guiding us to new and better ways of being.

[edit] Youth Futures Valley Fair Mall

A dead shopping mall is, in itself questionably notable (with most of the AfDs getting no consensus). The Valley Fair Shopping Centre is indeed possibly notable by the standards being established thus far. It was founded in 1954 and was one of the US's first covered malls, and as disused heaps of bricks go, is faintly encyclopaedic. However, the Youth Futures Valley Fair Mall was created in 2002 using the skeleton of the Valey Fair Shopping Centre as a 'community of commercial and nonprofit endeavors geared to the needs and interests of youth in the Fox River Valley'.

In March 2006, after a whole 3 1/2 years in operation, this community of commercial and nonprofit endeavors geared to the needs and interests of youth in the Fox River Valley was sold to developers. It's now closed, and scheduled to be demolished. I'm not convinced that a community project that ran for three years is enough to justify an article. Note that the only source for this article is a dead URL, but a trip to the Internet Archive hunting for www.mallonamission.org provides the info. The blogsite deadmalls.com hasn't even been used to "reference" this mall. Proto||type 10:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Move To Valley Fair Shopping Centre, which is a notable early mall as a socio-economic center for regional commerce and one of the earliest examples of an enclosed shopping mall. That article should focus on the enclosed structure of yesteryear, not the failed social experiment of today. youngamerican (talk) 15:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Maybe, but if an article is to be created at Valley Fair Shopping Center (not Centre, as it is - was - a US place darn my Anglocentric spelling), I think it might be better served just being stubbed from info elsewhere, rather than moving this across, as it would take some heavy duty editing - more so than just creating from scratch. Doesn't mean I'm right, of course. Proto||type 09:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NS RPG

Delete as non notable vaporware. The article describes a fan-made game that has not yet reached demo stage, and the only reference cited for which doesn't seem to talk about it much. Even if it had been made, odds are it would be obscure, but as it is, it isn't even obscure, it's non-existent. If the WP isn't for things made up in school one day, then it should doubly not be for things not yet made up in school. I had thought a WP:PROD would be sufficient, but I guess not. GRuban 13:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Also the claim from the article that "The makers of Natural Selection... are anxious to see what the makers of the NS RPG have to offer" is extremely dubious without verifiable sources to back it up and could be legally problematic if untrue. Gwernol 16:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jennifer Wilbanks

You can see the first nomination here

The last time we AFD'd this article a bunch of people said 'she is probably notable, but we should do this again in a ~year'. Well, it's been a year and we need to reevaluate this person. Is she notable? No. She is a nobody. Nothing about her is unique or special (lots of people runaway, apparently). You could argue that the "media circus" around her was notable, but then the article should be called the "Runaway Bride incident". However, just because this person received media coverage does not mean she or the coverage is notable. No. Basically, the media made a mistake. Why should we be forced to cover their mistake? One rule of thumb that I use is "Keep the article if it can be featured", but this article is unfeatureable. There is just not enough to say about such a unimportant person. Broken Segue 14:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I personally don't care about her one way or another. But given that bobbleheads of her are now being marketed, it seems premature to delete the article. There still seems to be at least a trashy kind of notability associated with her.Bjones 14:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- Trashy indeed. Let's not get the dirt on ourselves. Broken Segue 14:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep she's notable via major media coverage. Whatever we think about her or the story ("trashy" definitely sums it up) it is notable and should be covered, IMHO. Gwernol 16:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Still notable, alas. youngamerican (talk) 16:02, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Rename to Runaway Bride incident per nom. The media circus is notable, but not the person. Eivind ^t ^@^c 16:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. A chronicle of media circuses from prior years becomes more valuable, not less, as they fade from popular memory. Smerdis of Tlön 18:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Rename to Runaway Bride incident --Mmx1 19:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep - I do not understand the rationale of "why can't we forget her?". Why not happily forget her on a page just like the many many articles on forgettable TV series, Pokemon cards and other trivia. When and if some incident comes up and somebody reacalls the Willbank's fiasco for the sake of parallels, then the Wikipedia article will be a useful source of information on that, at the time, notable incident. The information is verifiable, it was sufficiently notable and may be called on again.--A Y Arktos 20:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Note she is still featuring in the news, for example, in an item on Atlalanta news today and last Friday in Ohio about those dolls.--A Y Arktos 20:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment If it is renamed, United States and 2005 should probably be in the name too, "Runaway Bride Incident" is very vague. Esquizombi 21:40, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment If we delete everything we'd rather forget about, will we be deleting any reference to the OJ Simpson trial and the whole Monica Lewinsky affair, too? Also, if you say "That Runaway Bride" to someone (at least in the U.S., and probably other countries where U.S. news is common), they'll know exactly who and what you are talking about. Stev0 21:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Rename to Runaway Bride incident. It was a historical event in American popular culture. This article would also be useful to someone researching topics such as news values. Accurizer 22:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep per AYArktos. He has a point. She is at least as notable as some obscure Pokemon card or other fancruft. What, are we low on disk space? --rogerd 23:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep. It's not that she deserves to be notable, or that the incident was notable. She's well on her way to being a stock figure in urban/media folklore, or popular culture, or whatever. Nobody ought to care about Nicky Hilton, either, but that's not the issue. Monicasdude 23:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

- Comment - she has not been forgotten by the media - see Google news search for steady trickle of articles. For example The Forgotten Story Of Iman Muhanna Mohammad (found through Google News) references Willbanks to contrast how the media treats incidents involving women of colour with white women.--A Y Arktos\^talk 18:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm inclined to vote delete, but since deletion seems an unlikely possibility, I suppose I will case my vote for rename as above or merge into missing white woman (or perhaps we could add her and all the others to a list of missing white women or some such thing). Failing that, let's try doing another afd in ten years.-PlasmaDragon 16:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep- Who cares if the "media made a mistake"? She is notable by many standards. I mean, lots of kids fall down holes, but does that mean that we should consider deleting the Baby Jessica article because she wasn't special enough? That article is even more passé than this one! No, both were media darlings for a time, and both have name recognition worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Dick Clark 22:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep and do not rename per some suggestions; create redirects as necessary. Why would we throw away good content which has been online over 1 year? Ridiculous. KWH 04:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Wikipedia is not limited for space and so we can provide articles that record past media frenzies. Keeping only the instances where the media were right and deleting those where they got wrong is hardly NPOV. I've got no opinion either way on the rename suggestions.

[edit] Mega Man Zero names and references

I believe this article should be deleted. Not because the information isn't useful, but because the information hasn't been updated and the thesis doesn't qualify as an article. The information is noteworthy, and should be kept, but I would suggest an merge into the respective articles they convey (such as List of Neo Arcadian boss characters). Also I believe it would be helpful that if this deletion succeeds, the document be copied into userspace for furthur reference (I'll do it).

Keep This article is Not a hoax. I take no pleasure in creating fake articles because if you knew what I do for a living you would understand. This is a hobby and we are the work of a non profit and non charging organisation. The references to Thurrock Museum are real and we do a lot of work through them. If my entry is pure spam and vanity then I would like to bring to your attention Spirit Searchers whos entry is basically an advert and Most Haunted who are extremely controversial. Spirit Searchers have placed links on other related pages and nothing has been done to them. We have researched a considerable amount of history for the area and have wikified it back to the thurrock and essex pages. I have wikified words for links on my article back to their entrys and placed a link on related pages as like other similar sites have done to no consequence. I take offence to being classed as "totally pathetic all around" the subject of paranormal may be pathetic to some but it is of major interest to a considerable number of people. The area we study has long reaching history and has been a part of many battles and historic relevant times such as the "Tilbury Fort Speech" Anne Boleyn and Wat Tyler. I have wikified many parts of the article to other totally relevant pages that contain considerable information about the area we study. It took a lot of work writing the article and I am prepared to re-structure should you wish it to stay. I have been working closely with a Wikipedia team member who has been a great help in making sure that this article meets the requirements. It is developing all the time. The team member has made sure that it changed from an advert which I now know was wrong. I have now included historical references to Thurrock's past and there is a lot more to come. I would like to add finally, that if you do decide to delete my links or my article please take a look at other articles/links which have done the same, to which I have followed suit. This is my first article written for Wikipedia and I have been given great help by members of your team who have been kind and understanding. Thank you for your consideration Pchurch 18:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

While I understand your position I am presently trying to bring the areas of parapsychology and the paranormal to a higher standard on wikipedia. It is an area I am very familiar with and very positive about, but I am still neutral towards articles in this area. My decision to nominate your page for deletion was not personal and I hope that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia beyond your own organisation if your page is deleted. It has simply come to my attention that many groups have been using this site as a promotion tool, including UKSPI who were recently deleted.

Wikipedia policy is: "Don't make a new article for your own product or Web site. Most often, when a person creates a new article describing their own work, it's because the work is not yet notable enough to have attracted anyone else's attention. Articles of this sort are known as vanity pages and are usually deleted. Wikipedia does indeed have articles about popular products and Web sites, but it is not acceptable to use Wikipedia to popularize them."

Please also take a look at these common arguments or strawmen:

Spammers will offer arguments like the following. These are strawman arguments, for the reasons listed.

"But you have links to commercial sites in the list."
- Spamming is about promoting your own site or a site you love, not about commercial sites at all. Links to commercial sites are often appropriate. Links to sites for the purpose of using Wikipedia to promote your site are not.
"But you have links to other sites that people have added for self-promotion."
- Those need to go, too. The fact that we haven't gotten around to it, yet, does not mean that we have some obligation to have your site.
"But you have a link to site Y, and my site is just like that."
- We don't need to link to every site in existence that meets a certain criteria. Sometimes we just need one site representative of a category. (See also the comments about linking to web directories instead, so that Wikipedia does not become a web directory.)
"But these links have been here for a long time."
- There are no binding decisions on Wikipedia, especially when the decision was never discussed on the talk page. Just because nobody noticed your spam a long time ago does not mean you now have a "right" to keep it in.
"My link is very unique."
- It is more likely that the link they have added has no more information than the Wikipedia article itself.

As per above I will be looking into other sites such as Spirit Searchers, the work I am doing in this area will be fair and neutral. I have already removed many links from paranormal pages that do not live up to encyclopaedic standards. - Solar 19:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your constructive comments. I was very offended by DreamGuys comments as there was no need for comments like that. I am new to this type of article writing and he has "bitten the hand" of someone new! I am willing and prepared to work with you to make this area of interest to you and me more positive for inclusion to Wikipedia. I wanted to change this article name to "Thurrocks Paranormal History" and write about that but unfortunately the name of the article had stuck and couldn't be changed. Pchurch 19:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Solar I am shocked that now I'm being accused of "Sock puppeting" This is not a multiple user ID to boost the vote, if you are concerned about the dashes above the comments made by .Rachywachydooda then I put those in to tidy up this. If someone has been using the article and has seen this then surely they can vote if they register to do so? Please can you check IP then it'll prove it Pchurch 20:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear Pchurch, I do not wish to upset you, but when new users appear simply to vote is it highly suspicious. ShaneR is clearly a meatpuppet as he has identified himself as the founder of your group. I note that you were warned by Arundhati bakshi not to use this tactic as it would undermine your position.

What is a meatpuppet? "A meat puppet is a variation of a sock puppet; a new internet community member account is created by another person at the request of a user solely for the purposes of influencing the community on a given issue or issues. While less overtly deceptive than sock puppetry, the effect of meat puppetry and sock puppetry on the community as a whole may be similar."

Please stop this tactic to avoid disrupting the process. - Solar 20:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear Solar I have no control over what people on other computers have written. I have seen ShaneR's input and he has his right to add his comments. I have not instructed them to do this and I am insulted that you believe that I have used this tactic. People use this Wikipedia all the time and it is possible, just possible that ShaneR has seen the delete notification and went to take a look at what was being said and added his own. Pchurch 20:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

keep This is not spam or a hoax, feel free to contact thurrock museum and ask about us, They help me with the history of the location and after the report is done a copy is sent to the museum. They also tell us of location they know that paranormal events have been reported in, Some times will also ask us toinvestigate locations that might soon be pulled down so a record can be made of it.

I have spent many years setting up Thurrock Paranormal and a great deal of my own money, the site and investigation is done for the love of the subject and not for any profit. you are also free to call any of the locations on the site to ask them about us. The reports that i do pull all the history form the local area into one report someting that has not ben done before. I try to get a good blend of local history and local myths, Thurrock is a very old place and is full of history and for years i have felt that not much has been put onto paper about the history and the strange events that have been reported. shane ralph, Thurrock Paranormal FounderShaneR 20:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I informed the witer of the article that any use of sock puppets would likely be detrimental to his cause, and do not think that he is using them. Check his IP address to be sure if you can. I think the criticism "Pure vanity spam, nonsense, pointless, nonnotable, just totally pathetic all around" by DreamGuy is really beyond the bounds of good taste and good faith. It would be nice if more civility could be used when critiquing an article. The user has put in a lot of work since the beginning of this article to ensure that it became steadily more encyclopedic. The notability requirement seems to check out, it passes the google test, at any rate and has been mentioned in a number of publications. The only problem I see now is that some people either may dislike the article because a member of the troupe wrote it (usually a bad idea, but if someone else were to have created more or less the same article, would it then be on AfD?), or that some people just dislike the topic because of its controversial nature. Remember this is this fellow's first post here, and if we delete the page, we need a good reason, not merely a dislike of the topic. Arundhati bakshi 20:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I would like an IP scan to prove that I have not used "Sock Puppets" please. I believe I have the right to defend myself on here and prove a point. Thank you! Pchurch 20:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

"Keep" For a site that deals in the Paranormal and isnt a commercial venture, I suggest people commenting here actually take a look at the site and the reports. The locations mentioned are of historical value in the Thurrock area, see The Royal Hotel. For this to be up for deletion, but entries made in Wikipedia as per The Metro newspaper a few weeks back being allowed, though they were proved to be totally inaccurate at the time, this seems more like a witch hunt, pardon the pun than an administrative attempt at keeping wikipedia free of spamming. Can a truly plausible reason be given for why this site is up for deletion as spam?

On behalf of those being called Sock Puppets etc. If you know of an entry being deleted but beleive it to be totally unfair due to it being of value to readers (not all readers as not all people are interested in the Paranormal), you should expect some comments in defence of the entry. Does this not also show that those meatpuppets etc are also pleased to see such entry appear in Wikipedia and not see Wikipedia as a waste of cyberspace?

This user has no other contributions and is likely to be a sockpuppet or meatpuppet, this vote should be discounted. - Solar 21:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This user is not a Sock or Meat puppet, but yes has no other contributions since prior to this little debate they were wuite happy with the way things were. I find the terms an insulting name for someone who is issuing their first post on a topic they chose to contribute too. should there be a name for those that dislike a topic for no apparent valid reason?

Delete Unlike Michigan Dawn to Dusk Paranormal Group, which was actually written up in an AP story in October, 2005, Thurrock Paranormal and Shane Ralph both have zero coverage in Lexis/Nexis European news sources. Fails verifiability and notability. Most of the article is about alleged paranormal activity in Thurrock, and could be merged to List of haunted locations if properly sourced. Thatcher131 19:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment How many other sources in this entire encyclopedia are found in Lexis/Nexis European News Sources??? In fact I searched their website for "Paranormal" and it came back with "zero" results. I am shocked that you expect one source to be used as a quotation and reference point for notability for this entire site!

Quite frankly I have had enough of the way I have been treated on here! There are only two persons on here who can show pride in what they do and that's Arundhati bakshi and Solar I have been scorned and slated for writing something I am passionate in! Turning a part of where I live into a historical report on alleged paranormal activity and there was more to come. Just because it is controversial doesn't mean it should be deleted! And as for accuracy and quoting Lexis Nexis etc.... The "Dolly the Sheep" article which was so full of errors it had to be pulled and made the national papers claiming this site to be fatally flawed, makes me so angry! This feels like a witch hunt against all "newbies" as I've been reading most newbie articles and there you all are ganging up on them! Some of the comments I have received on here have been totally out of order! Yet I stand there politely fighting my corner against all odds and I don't get one single apology about what was said!

Delete the article for all I care! I will not be posting or writing any more articles on here for fear of ridicule and abuse. I will not be visiting the site anymore and after seeing the numerous news articles from the bbc etc I know I'm making the right choice. I will also make sure I highly recommend no one else I know uses this site or attempts to write any article for this site as I certainly don't want them to be subject to abuse or highly one sided and inaccurate information! Arundhati bakshi and Solar I thank you for all of your help and support in helping me write and edit the article and to Jayant, thanks for helping me up when I was down.

Pchurch 21:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel put upon. One of the guidelines for inclusion is verifiability. The fact that there have been problems in the past is not a good reason to ignore the guideline now. Another guideline is notability or importance, which goes hand in hand with verifiability; if some independent sources have written about a subject, that is a good indication that it is both notable and verifiable. Regarding Lexis/Nexis, it is a tool I use to try and determine whether a subject has received independent news coverage. Many people use Google hits or Alexa rankings to influence their opinions regarding articles nominated for deletion. I choose to use Lexis/Nexis, partly because it is a specific indicator of coverage in "mainstream media" and partly because it is a subscription site that few other Wikipedians have ready access to, so it adds information to the discussion. I have never pretended it is some kind of ultimate authority. In fact L/N lists 129 articles in the past year with the words "paranormal" and "investigation" in the European press alone.

Regarding your article, it really is two separate articles. The information about haunted places in Thurrock could certainly be included in the article List of haunted locations if you can include soure citations, and I recommend you use in-line links or footnotes, and be specific (for instance, if a magazine discusses a place, give the date and page number of the issue, not just the magazine title). You could even try to create List of haunted places in Thurrock, England if you think there is enough specific information to justify a separate article. Be aware of the policy of No original research though; you need to point to independent 3rd party information. The other part of the article, about your own investigations, will generally not be supported here unless there is evidence that you have attracted independent attention (from magazines, newspapers, TV shows, etc.) Thatcher131 21:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Let me add, I strongly encourage you to add the Thurrock haunting sites to List of haunted locations or to start a new article about Thurrock hauntings which you can link to List of haunted locations and also to Thurrock. Although I strongly urge you to use specific footnotes wherever possible and to avoid including anything that might be characterized as original research or personal experience. Thatcher131 21:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Not all of us are skilled in the art of graphic design and AS WE ARE A NON PROFIT NON CHARGING ORGANISATION we cannot afford it!!! "Non notable ghostcruft" Well you are in Alaska and we are in England. All we are trying to do is place an article about the areas alleged paranormal activity for those that may have an interest or live in the area. THIS HAS TURNED PERSONAL!! THESE ARE PERSONAL ATTACKS (which is a breach of this sites rules!) AND IT'S NOT CONSTRUCTIVE. If this is what Wikipedia is about then to hell with it! Pchurch 10:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

A personal attack like that makes that user look like an immature 12 year old. Maybe lots of people are not interested in Thurrock paranormal but if it helps a few then surely it is worth keeping as it will help make this encyclopedia the best one around. Rachywachydooda 11:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

you asked for some verifiability; if some independent sources have written about a subject. well find the book THURROCKS PAST(ECHOES OF THE PAST) by Alan Leyin you will finda lot of our locations there and the reported ghosts. in fact Daiel Defoe in 1724 (a tour of the whole island of great britain) talks about mucking,tilbury and then resd The mirror of the sea by Joseph Conrad( lived in thurrock for some time) and then read,

and more Ghost information can be found in  The peoples history of Essex by D.W Coller 1861

and tend read Alice of fobbibg :or the times of jack straw and wat tyley by Rerv.w.e. heygate 1860 and then readHeart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 1902 but you must read LIFE AND RECOLLECTIONS by Hon Grantly Berkely 1866 , there is great pice on the Ghost of Belhus. you said you need so pages well here are some A Essex ghost hiunters guide to essex page 83, langdon hills, pg,119 muckingpg, 120,124 corringham, 114,117,124,134 fobbing once you have read this then i feel you will see i know what i am talking about.ShaneR 11:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

oh must add somthing, about our logo, yep thanks i did do it and it was done on photo shop, yes i have just started using it but i tell you what its much better than MICHIGAN'S DAWN TO DUSK PARANORMAL cartoon lol, if you think they are better than you should lok at the paranormal photo on MICHIGAN'S site, hmm orb's dont think so, tattoo ghost dont think so, its a face on a tv screen and you dont need to be a paranormal investigator to work that one out.ShaneR 12:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

ShaneR, (blank)cruft is the standard phrase used here for an article that appeals only to someone who is interested in whatever (blank) is. The generalization fancruft was the initial usage, and blogcruft is the most common by my count. It's not insulting. As for your notability claims: all those do is assert that the locations you have investigated are notable, not that you are. You need sources that mention Thurrock Paranormal, not paranormal places in thurrock. Calm down, chief, you're making yourself look foolish. -M^ask

17:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry but i feel that we are being told to sell out(turn to the media) if we did this every time we investigated a location we would be expected to say it was haunted, somthing we dont do, there are loads of location that I have been asked to visit and when i got there all it turned out to be was damp or the heating coming on in the night making doors pop open. As i state on the website we are link no other investigation team, we do not book location and charge £35 per person to go on a investigation and make loads of money out of it. If you take this page down so be it , i will go to the media when i feel it is right and i will not be pushed into saying things just to keep them happyShaneR 17:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

ShaneR, if you were notable, you would not go to the media, they come to you. At the very least a local newspaper would write a story about you. I went to college for journalism. If somebody comes to us asking for a story about them, we turn them down. We write stories, not propaganda. This is further proof it is a small-time group unworthy of an entry. -M^ask

17:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

so would you like me to send you all the emails i have from tv companies asking help, wou;d you also the phone number of the company that make Ghost Towns, you can ask them why i did not take part in the show, it would be funny to hear what they would say.all this i can give, Just let me know were to send it. but i will only send it if you are going to do itShaneR 18:25, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thermal management of electronic devices and systems

This article is the main article linked to from Electronics#Heat dissipation and thermal management. I don't believe it covers enough material to merit its own article, and everything in it is described in more detail on numerous other pages. I believe that it deserves a proper paragraph in the Electronics article with inline links to those articles, such as Aircooling, CPU cooling, and Computer cooling. ~MDD 46 96 23:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment I disagree with deleting this article. Where else will you put stuff on heatsinking and fan cooling of electronic equpt etc. If you can come up with an alternative page title, I'm willing to listen . Otherwise, please leave this page alone.--Light current 01:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC) (copied from this article's talk page)
Perhaps the previous poster is unfamiliar with the concept of merge back to Electronics? Alba 03:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- On the one hand, merging it back makes a lot of sense. However, Light current made the point on my talk page that the Electronics article is already gigantic. I think there's room for just a paragraph on this subject there, but he also stated that this article could be significantly expanded. I'm somewhat less sure about deleting this article now, however I'd like the AfD to remain active so as to gather others' opinions. ~MDD4696 03:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  - In that case, I'd advise re-splitting with more sections after merging back. I would agree that Electronics is too big, but you can't pull material out one paragraph at a time. Alba 13:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep This is a substantial topic. While the current article is written rather poorly as of now I believe that this is the sort of topic that is easily improved. There are many articles in the literature devoted to this topic. I think this article will be improved over time if allowed to stay.

Johnleemk | Talk 15:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Not notable band that fails WP:MUSIC guidelines for inclusion.

Furthermore, you are and have violated Wikiquette many times, especially: Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, civility, and assume good faith before making a recommendation as to whether the article should be deleted or not, or making a comment.

Finally, the band, Captain Peacock (music) contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such; and, a member has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country[1], reported in notable and verifiable sources.

User:BodyHeat 01:54 CST, 27 March 2006 (CST)

Please don't be accusatory. You were very polite with me, so I know that you can make a calm argument about this.

Could you cite your sources for the member who was once a part of a notable band? Singing with Norah Jones in college doesn't quite cut it, I think, because she is an independent singer, not a band. Also, the requirement is, I believe, that the band has gone on a international/national concert tour, not just one member. Sorry.

Hbackman 23:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I can assure you that I harbor no ill feelings towards you or the band. Thusfar, however, the band has not yet done anything to merit inclusion YET. They seem to be on the right track, however and will likely soon be notable enough for wikipedia. When they do meet one of the notability guidelines for a band, I will gladly support the inclusion of their article and contribute by way of copyediting, syntax, etc. Until then, they are just not ready. youngamerican (talk) 20:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

This is clearly made up. The final section contradicts itself and there's no Google/Yahoo/anything mention. Probably some creative version of a vanity page, like author Harlan Ellison's own book-jacket bios.

I have reacted in response to your corrections, I have corrected the errors and hope for the best in the prevension for deletion of this article. This is the second time I have written in response to you - someone has already written back in response to your attempt for deletion. Thanks Alot..

Keep maybe a bit marginal and could do with some editing. Dlyons493 Talk 18:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete strictly on the basis of NN. Clearly it looks like a vanity page. Basically, it's a resumé, it's autobiographical, and the assertion of notability is weak. On the other hand, he isn't a nobody. There is some interesting stuff about him here [44]. I'm voting to delete because there doesn't seem to be anything here to distinguish him from tens of thousands of other university professors. They all have nice resumes, they all have something published, they all attend conferences and work on projects. It's not enough. Slowmover 19:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep, notable as published author of nontrivial scholary book. If Wikipedia has articles on every professor out there with degrees from Tufts, Yale, and MIT, and who serve on UN advisory boards, it might require nearly as much space as is currently devoted to the activities of Jack Thompson, Esq., but I expect Jimbo would be ready to cough up the small change needed if additional server space is really required.

[edit] Aaron Veuleman

Reason why the page should be deleted Mark 2000 18:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a vanity page. Aaron Veuleman is an unremarkable Philosophy Ph.D. student with no major theories or advancements to his name. The page is mostly maintained by Aaron himself. If this page is allowed to stay then anyone with an advanced degree will have to right to advertise themselves. This sort of thing is more appropriate for an individual's talk section.

[edit] Captain SNES

ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

This sprite comic has had two previous AfDs: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Captain SNES: The Game Masta and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Captain SNES. Both resulted in a consensus to delete. It's also been speedily deleted at least twice. I considered speedying it again under CSD G4, but the content isn't identical and it was created by a different contributor. In any case, it doesn't look like it meets WP:WEB, and I can't think of any other compelling reason that would make it notable. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 19:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Preserve This comic is notable, with a decent-sized fanbase and a relatively unique plotline. The article needs cleanup and expansion, but CSNES is something important enough to have an article on Wikipedia.Jayofnameless 03:43, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Perserve For reasons above. Wutasumi 05:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Preserve, with the condition that it has to be cleaned up soon It's important enough for an article, but this article isn't all that good.64.72.87.113
Preserve Same reasons as above. The comic has gained both readership and chapters since the last time the article was deleted, and now meets (or exceeds) the requirements for inclusion, unless those have changed or the person mentioning them on the comic's forums got them wrong. It meets criteria (3) at minimum: TopWebComics (I believe) lists the comic. The proof¹ is in the "Vote" link, both on the main page and in several forumites' signatures.

Comment If you are going to directly refute a statement made just two spaces above you, you really should say why that is. OmegaX123 stated that from what he can see, it meets requirement three. If you believe that this is not the case, you really should give your reasoning. Also, checking the TopWebComics listings, I found that Captain SNES currently holds slot 47, placing it above Two Lumps in slot 48. 64.72.87.113 03:53, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - Generally, topsites don't count at all when looking for verifiability or as indicators of notability. The reason being, is that rabid fans spam votes, and that actual popular sites ignore them. You can have a look at WP:RS at some guidelines refering to sources if you're interested. - Hahnchen 14:19, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment - The Webcomic List Everything2.com and Comic Alert have all reviewed this comic independantly. OmniRedmage 06:45 1 April 2006
Comment Thank you 64.72.etc. This is true, on all counts. OmegaX123 08:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep Captain SNES is a long runing comic with high production values and a long, well thought out plot. to delete it (again.) would be a waste. if Bob and George can have a page, then a much superior comic like Captain SNES certainly deserves one. Omniredmage 05:53 1 April 2006
Comment The various "top 100 comic" style lists are not generally considered evidence of notability because they are too vulnerable to ballot stuffing. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 14:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Look at the article again. At least two of the sites in the links are not topsites (don't know about the third), and have reviewed CSNES. Just like OmniRedmage said, might I add? OmegaX123 20:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I feel that Topwebcomics, the top site list that Captain SNES is on, has taken measures to prevent ballot stuffing. I voted today, as I am a fan of Captain SNES, then cleared my cookies and any other evidence that I could that I had voted, then tried to vote again. It did not let me, because the site logs individual IP addresses for ballot stuffing, thus preventing rabid fans from boosting their own sites to the top.--Experimentmonty 01:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Preserve I feel that this article should be kept provided that the article be expanded upon. It is not up to the high standards expected here yet, but it has not been given much time to reach these high standards. This is a high quality comic, and given the chance, this article can be benificial.--Experimentmonty 01:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep Are comics like Zebra Girl notable while this is not? I don't get the standards here. This comic has more refrences, and could be kept as fan fiction if nothing else. Spriteless 13:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - Zebra Girl is part of Keenspot, it's apparently good enough that people have to pay for it. Have you taken a look at the "references"? They're not references at all, they're topsites and webcomic databases, which each contain links to thousands of webcomics. This isn't a notable website. - Hahnchen 14:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment- Since when do you have to pay for Keenspot? The readers certainly don't, and I've never payed for anything on KeenSpot OR KeenSpace. Are you implying that the more money you spend, the more likely you are to keep a wikipedia article? Who should I pay, you? or should I make the check out to Wiki? Omniredmage 09:23 PM 4 April 2006
    - Comment - Keenspot pays the comic for exclusive rights on the internet. They offer a Keenspot Premium service in which you pay for a better service. You don't choose to be on Keenspot, they choose you. And it's not like I personally think Zebra Girl is notable either, but the community seems to think that anything that has ever apeared Keenspot is inherently notable. Keenspace on the other hand is just a free geocities style host. - Hahnch e n 08:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment- I'd like to point out that CSNES.com is being hosted on it's own servers at it's own cost. Without use of free hosting from keenspace. Salamando 09:45 PM 4 April 2006

[edit] List of TRACS members

Pointless list the author created to link Christian schools. The links were removed, but the list lacks importance. TRACS has a list on their webpage, which is more accurate and informative than this control-c list. Interested parties can visit the TRACS page and link for further information. This is a POV fork after the list was removed several times. Arbusto 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Note to closing admin: Wiki4Christ (operated by banned user Jason Gastrich) is stated to have emailed an appeal to save this article.

Keep. I don't see any problem with this since we have an article on TRACS and these schools apparently exist. I also note that this nom tried to have this list speedied as patent nonsense [47], which looks like bad faith to me. Furthermore, the so called POV fork seems to have resulted from this nom's edit warring to remove the list. Lastly, what difference does it make that these are Christian schools? For all I care, they could be Jewish, Muslim, or Rastafarian. Why did that need to be immediately specified in the first words of this nom? At the very least, why aren't we talking about merging it back to TRACS? -- JJay 00:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I put the speedy tag because "this article provides no meaningful content." As for your bad faith comment, you might want to see who created the TRACS page. This is a fork that is why it is up for AfD. Arbusto 00:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Well that qualifies as a significant misuse of CSD. I suggest you review CSD criteria before mistagging something as nonsense. -- JJay 00:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your addition [48], are you suggesting that TRACS is patent nonsense? If not, why can't the schools be listed? What is the difference, really, between this list, and Ivy League, Little Ivies, Seven Sisters, List of NCAA Division I Institutions, List of NAIA Institutions, etc? Furthermore, if you really believe it is a fork (which you just added to your comment above), then merge it back.-- JJay 01:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

You comparing TRACS to the NCAA? I fail to understand the connection. It should not be listed because (as I wrote in the nom.) "TRACS has a list on their webpage, which is more accurate and informative than this control-c list. Interested parties can visit the TRACS page and link for further information." The list is updated on the TRACS page according to schools that lost accreditation and earned accreditation. Most recently in Feb. 2006. There is no reason to think the wiki page will be updated to be accurate. Thus, the information will be incorrect and provide misleading details on school accreditation.

If this list is kept then the other accrediting agnecies will also have lists. That includes North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which accredits 10,000 schools. Do you want a list of 10,000 schools on wikipedia pertaining to one accreditation group? Or the 13,000 schools accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which I removed the beginnings of the list one month ago [49]. Arbusto 01:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Those are all very weak arguments. What may or may not exist on the web is not my problem. Almost every topic we cover here is covered in greater depth somewhere else. That should never be an excuse to remove content. The bottom line for me is that if we are going to do school lists such as these [50], I can find no reason to remove a list of accredited schools from a group such as TRACS for which we have a page. In my view, it is just as essential to know what institutions are under the TRACS umbrella as with any other accreditation agency. -- JJay 01:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, we'll have a list of 10,000 schools linked at North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and 13,000 at Southern Association of Colleges and Schools because you want to keep this list of around 40 schools, which only 12 have wikipedia articles.

If you want to know "know what institutions are under the TRACS umbrella" you could just visit the TRACS category or their website.Arbusto 01:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I could get all info on every topic elsewhere, but I choose to use wikipedia. Otherwise, all the lists you mentioned are good with me. For more, see response on talk page. -- JJay 01:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yep you made it very clear that you have no problem with a 13,000 school list for one accreditation group on your talk. I strongly differ. Arbusto 02:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

That would seem to make sense as you ~~spend a lot of time nominating~~ sometimes nominate lists for deletion. Of course, this list is a wee bit smaller that that at present. Could probably be nicely merged into TRACS, which lacks content.-- JJay 02:24, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

These attacks against me tiresome. One person says I am on an anti-Christian bent. Then you claim I spend my time nominating lists for deletion. One person says I am anti- this another says I am anti- that. Argue with facts, reasons and sources. Trying to attribute false motives to me doesn't help your argument. Grow up. Arbusto 02:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

What attacks? What are you talking about? You nominated this for deletion and have other lists on Afd. You also indicated on my user page that you have removed other lists from wikipedia. You felt the need to say that you "strongly differ" with me on school lists using an example with no application to the current discussion and which should have been obvious given our positions. As for facts, this list has 40 schools on it, not 10,200 or 13,000. -- JJay 02:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I am talking about "you spend a lot of time nominating lists for deletion." Which is not true nor relevant. Arbusto 03:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I "sometimes nominate lists" now? That's news to me. I think I have only nominated two lists ever (this and the alpha list). Arbusto 03:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Good, then as supported by this [51], all my statements here are now perfectly factual. This list has 40 schools on it. It should be kept or merged with TRACS, so people interested can know what schools have been accredited by TRACS. -- JJay 03:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Wrong again: You are just lazy and don't really care about quality. Had you clicked on the link [52] you would have noticed I deleted the list of three schools off the article page because I didn't want the other 12,997 to be added. I did not, as you claimed, "nominate" that list for AfD. Thusly, are not "factually correct." Like I said before, its tiresome. Arbusto 03:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not going to waste anymore time arguing semantics with you. I guess I'm just lazy that way. In any case, to use your own words, you "strongly differ" with my opinions on the utility of these types of lists. You have used all kinds of arguments for why this should be deleted (pointless, POV fork, no meaningful content, misleading, list on other web site, will result in 13,000 school list, etc), none of which I agree with. Since you are highly unlikely to withdraw this nom, and I will never revise my vote, this discussion now serves absolutely no purpose. -- JJay 04:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Just think, a list that encourages people to write articles on schools. Now why would we need that? -- JJay 01:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is likely to nominate a project-space article listing articles for universities which need to be created, even though lists of redlinks tend (as with the Schools project) to spawn substubs of no encycloaedic value. If this was in project space - part of the Christianity wikiproject, for example - I think it's unlikely it would have been nominated. As it stands what this list does is to duplicate the list at the TRACS website (only with much less detail and not necessarily up-to-date). Just zis Guy you know? 09:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep, probably should be a speedy keep. Vanity is not grounds for deletion, and the subject of the article is considered notable enough, for example, to serve as a juror on a nontrivial prize competition at UC Berkeley [53], and is identified by that institution as an award-winning writer and a prominent writer/critic in his home country of Iran. And while I can't read a word of the one's I've found, there are enough online articles from the Iranian press by the guy to demonstrate notability.

Comment. Reread that page; it says this quite explicitly: "As explained below, vanity by itself is not a basis for deletion, but lack of importance is." Vanity vigilantes who are more concerned with authorship than content do far more to damage Wikipedia than to improve it. It's one thing to beat up on goofy (but fundamentally harmless) articles by high school kids who identify themselves as Pope of Latveria, or whatever; it's quite another to slag rather modestly stated, factually impeccable articles that improve Wikipedia. Excessive fannishness is also a vanity signal, but somehow the label is never attached to 50,000 word articles on Pokemon characters, or the veritable hagiographies of musicians like Mariah Carey, or the episode-by-episode exegeses of wretched televison programs. Judge articles, not authors. Monicasdude 05:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Psalm 103

(I am also nominating Psalm 104, Psalm 119, Psalm 23, Psalm 51). Do we really need to present every Psalm as it's own article? Isn't this what wikisource is for? Jon513 21:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep - Psalm 23 is one of the most well known passages in the Bible, one that has been made into song lyrics in thousands of languages, and an important element in the Christian and Jewish faith. Many non-adherents of the faith may also be interested to find out what it is actually about. There is enough information on this Psalm to discuss as an indivudial article, and personally I find it a good and very practical source of information. --gc_susetyo 15:20, 31 March 2006 (GMT+1)
Speedy Keep - utter rubbish. The translation Psalm 23 ('The Lord is my shepherd') is the most popular poem/hymn in the English language, Psalm 51 not far behind. Their impact on language, art, music and Christian and Jewish theology cannot be underestimated. Wikisouce is for primary sources not for a description of the importance, impact, and influence of these texts. There are only 150 Psalms (compared to millions of schools and barely notable bands), so having an article on every one (which we don't yet) is perfectly appropriate. Ridiculous nomination. --Doc ^ask? 22:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep - whether we agree with it or not, the Bible is still a massive cultural influence. --MacRusgail 22:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
~~d, nn, biblecruft, move to a specialist religion wiki~~ A nomination that is a violation of WP:POINT at worst and merely grossly defective judgement at best. Keep - David Gerard 22:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Strong keep Agree with above. If there is enough to say about a Psalm, besides its translation, then it should have its own article, otherwise, there might be a case for merging content into the main Psalms article. Deletion is completely inappropriate. (My comments apply to all Psalms nominated for deletion.)--agr 22:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Doc. But I don't think it's unreasonable to assume good faith on the part of the nominator. Many people in western society today are not familiar with the Bible, its real influence, and what parts of it are more significant than others. It needs a lot of work to be a good article, though.

Speedy Keep. I think it's a pretty safe bet the individual psalms, remembered and read for several thousand years after their writing, will prove more durable than the individual episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. (Assuming the article is kept, the precedent should not apply to the individual Proverbs.) Monicasdude 23:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment There had been some previous discussion of bible verses at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion. Could groups of Psalms be merged together in an acceptable way? Esquizombi 23:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

These psalms are not grouped in any meaningful way. They're individual articles on diverse psalms that nom is just happening to afd all at once. Besides, psalms aren't "bible verses", nor does their numbering really correspond to the chapters of other books, both of which divisions are of relatively recent origin. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I realize that psalms are different than bible verses, but I think that they are analogous enough that the dicussions would be relevant. As e.g. Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Whole bible chapter text states, "as per Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources, entire chapters of the Bible do not belong on wikipedia. Since the Bible already exists in several different translations and different languages at its proper location (Wikisource), any article containing only Bible text should be speedily deleted or redirected as is necessary, and article should only contain as much source text as is necessary for purposes of example." See also Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/200 verses of Matthew Esquizombi 23:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment - I agree that a lot of the primary source material could be deleted, but I think the articles themselves should be kept. --MacRusgail 01:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment - Esquizombi, if you actually look at the articles, you'll find that only Psalm 23 Psalm 51 contain the entire text of the psalms. (In several different translations for Psalm 51 -- I would support cutting them out.) Even in these cases, however, the text is not the entire content of the article. While all of them could use expansion, they are primarily articles about the individual psalms, not the psalms themselves. TCC (talk) (contribs) 01:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep While I'm for merging a lot of the verse articles I think these are good enough. They aren't just replicating the text in different translations, focusing on trivial details to fill space, or could they been merged into something more in a logical way that I can think of. We shouldn't set any precedent though, each needs to be judged on their own merits. (There has been a lot of discussion over bible versus, I think most of them are linked from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew 1:9 including the arbcom case that is on going.) kotepho 00:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

- We should make that decision on basis of what makes a good article. Clearly including the whole text of Psalm 119 would be disproportionate. But other Psalms are very short (some just 3 sentences). As with Wikipedia:Lyrics and poetry it may make sense to include copyright free versions where available. We need to be pragmatic here - neither include or exclude text just for the sake of it. --Doc ^ask? 14:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

It would be, but leyasu keeps deleting stuff out of there. +Johnson 16:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The reason i delete stuff from there is because people keep filling it with nonsense, and trying to create genres, here is a few: 'Circus Metal', 'Jungle Beats Metal', 'Evil Metal'. As for the merge, i think that, perhaps, Spearhead and me should merge all the articles that are cross-genre references into one article - which shouldnt be the List of heavy metal genres, as thats supposed to be a general shortcut to all the main articles. Ley Shade 17:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I see. Sounds good. Makese sense, since the article is called "List of heavy metal genres" and not "List of heavy metal genres, cross genre references, styles" ect. +Johnson 17:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Getting a proper List of heavy metal genres is a good starting point. If we could at least settle on that, we can start working on getting the actual articles fixed. Generally speaking all these metal genre articles are a load of crap. And it completely is beyond me why Heavy metal music is a featured article. One other thing is that all the lists of key artists should go, since they are target for vandalising and contained in the article anyway. Maybe we should take this discussion to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Metal Spearhead 15:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

We should, and ill move it to the correct page when youve done it, mainly because im havign a hard time concentrating on something for a long period of time atm. Anyways, like i said, move all the cross genre references onto one article, that, should in theory, provide a good starting place. Ley Shade 16:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I have to vote keep based on the heavy google response [54]. -- JJay 16:24, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The idea is to delete this page and merge all cross-genre references into one page. "Extreme metal" is not specific enough, it does not denote a specific style or genre. I could call any metal extreme, fans of mainstream music would probably agree. +Johnson 16:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

If you intend a merge that should have been worked out with the editors of the page. It does not require AfD. Otherwise, the page seems fine to me. -- JJay 16:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep and expand as all "extreme metal" genres (Black metal, death metal, viking metal, even thrash) are poorly described on the heavy metal music article. I know there are pages for each of these genres, but while all the sub-genres, variations and history of heavy metal (power metal, speed metal, etc.) are featured on one page, this is not the case for the "extreme metal" genres. In its present form, the page is useless however, and needs to be expanded or deleted until someone has time to write a proper article. --IronChris 21:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep.--Danteferno 22:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep, there are a lot of tenuous music genres out there, but this is legit. Some of the (sub) genres on Template:Heavymetal google as as low as 21,000 - this gets 1,200,000. note - The battle to avoid over-categorisation in music has been lost. Deizio 12:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apple Computer financial history

Article contents are completely non-notable. Tempshill 21:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep Article can be expanded, there are a wealth of sources, and subject is very notable -M^ask 22:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- Your first two criteria aren't good reasons to keep an article. Better to delete this small hill of unnotable material and if someone later feels they can write a real encyclopedia article on the subject, they can start from scratch at that point. Tempshill 22:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  - You are incorrect. Please review WP:DP. The fact that it is a stub is not a valid criteria for deletion. -M^ask 22:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    - It's not a stub. It's just garbage. Have you read the article? Tempshill 22:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Keep. Claiming that the financial performance of a major corporation is not notable enough to be discussed in Wikipedia may be the most appallingly ignorant comment I've come across in AfDs so far, and that's saying something. What, you think Jobs, Wozniak, Scully, et al were in this for their own entertainment? It's unfortunate that Wikipedia style calls for breaking subjects down into discrete pieces to keep page sizes low; but with that practice as a given, there ought to be articles like this (in terms of subject matter, not of this low quality) for all major business entities. I know that a task like this only diverts attention from the vital work of documenting each iteration of Bulbasaur, but it's a necessary evil. Monicasdude 22:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Claiming that the financial performance of a major corporation is not notable enough to be discussed in Wikipedia may be the most appallingly ignorant comment I've come across True. Of course, no one actually said that -- see Strawman argument -- so one wonders who you're trying to insult (again) or what your point is, other than your perennial bitter complaints that the Wrong Articles are being kept. --Calton | Talk 01:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Response. Exactly what else could "Article contents are completely non-notable" mean, given that the article contents include discussions of the company's going public, its dividend history, its market capitalization, and an incomplete history of the stock's performance. Monicasdude 02:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The above paragraph is not reflective of the article's content, except for the last 7 words you wrote. The data seems to be a few snapshots of data, not a historical perspective, and the snapshots have been taken from random points in time. The article is currently worse than useless, and instead of plaintively waiting for a savior to make an encyclopedia article out of this - which may be impossible - I argue the article ought to be deleted (or merged into History of Apple Computer, though any meaningful data is already there). Tempshill 03:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Financial information, in the context of an encyclopedia, that is utterly trivial and not worth a separate article. This is an encyclopedia, a digest of knowledge, not a repository for every jot and tittle of eye-glazing data. --Calton | Talk 01:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Merge with History of Apple Computer. The topic is encyclopedic in principle, and History of Apple Computer is long enough to justify a fork, but the financial history of a company is so tightly bound with other aspects of its history that I think it would make more sense to fork by time period if we want to fork. --Allen 02:24, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. We don't have any other alphabetical listing of universities. This also shows what Universities we need pages for. Hence, I can't see how it is redundant with anything. -- JJay 00:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment: There are numerous lists of different criteria that more accurately define higher education. Example: [55] Arbusto 00:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, those are all great lists. The problem is that they are mostly organized by US State. That is not too helpful if you don't know which State to check. That is why I see this list as useful and complementary. Not that it will have any impact with those so quick to call it redundant. I ask: redundant with what? We have no corresponding category. -- JJay 01:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

You expressed your opinion on an 13,000 school list pertaining to one accreditation group at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of TRACS members. I disagree that we need a list in place for every differing criteria. Categories are suitable for groups. Arbusto 02:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Then create a category to replace this list. -- JJay 13:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This subproject was also designed to identify colleges that lack infoboxes or are not using the new standard infobox {{Infobox University}}. It was based entirely on this list that is about to be deleted, but I still think this list should be deleted.

Delete. This is even worse than most "list of" articles. Friday (talk) 15:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
The existance of this list seems an argument against the practice of not allowing things to be in subcategories and supercategories at the same time. If there were a category that included all colleges this list would be completely unnecessary. As it is, it is of very marginal utility but impossible to maintain.

Procedural nomination because a user has disputed whether a consensus existed to turn this into a redirect the last time we got into the whole York Region thing. The user has not only violated 3RR over it, but has registered new sockpuppets to keep reverting even after being blocked. Thus I'm asking for a new consensus: is this a keep, a delete, or a merge into Vaughan municipal election, 2006? No vote from me since this is a procedural nom, but I will say that I'm really not too clear on how we can consider unelected municipal council candidates notable enough for WP inclusion, when the very same city's actual incumbent councillors haven't been able to pass the AFD bar.

Keep Per what Eye_on_Vaughan stated. Also, I just received some interesting news about pm_shef and the reasons to why he is so anti-Frankl. Besides the obvious of course. Now I'm going to go make a T-Shirt promoting world peace. Who knows, the mayor may give me an award for it. 69.198.130.82 16:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Please note that the above comment constitutes a thinly veiled attack on my character in violation of WP:NPA, as well, User:69.198.130.82 has only made edits on this page, the Vaughan Watch AfD and user pages involved in this dispute. pm_shef 17:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Note above user Pm_shef is the son of the main opponent of Frankl's, Councilour Alan Shefman, and all of his edits thus far have been on similarly controversial AfD's and articles related to his father. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by FirstandOnlyEdit (talk • contribs)

Nor Desmond Morton, Marshall Rothstein, McGill University or Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, for that matter. And again, I repeat to the anon contributor: you are to can the ad hominem attacks on pm_shef immediately. Frankl's notability or lack thereof is to be discussed on his own merits; the question of pm_shef's identity is irrelevant to the process. He didn't nominate the article for deletion — I did. So cut it the hell out. Bearcat 00:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yehuda Shahaf

Procedural nomination because a user has disputed whether a consensus existed to turn this into a redirect the last time we got into the whole York Region thing. The user has not only violated 3RR over it, but has registered new sockpuppets to keep reverting even after being blocked. Thus I'm asking for a new consensus: is this a keep, a delete, or a merge into Vaughan municipal election, 2006? No vote from me since this is a procedural nom, but I will say that I'm really not too clear on how we can consider unelected municipal council candidates notable enough for WP inclusion, when the very same city's actual incumbent councillors haven't been able to pass the AFD bar.

Delete. A councillor in a small city would hardly qualify as notable enough for an article, imo; a candidate, still less so. After he's elected I suppose we can talk about it, but I will be sceptical. Bucketsofg 00:16, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Can it please be explained what you define as a 'notable dodgeball team'. Thank you. Wright123 14:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that there is a specific notability test for sports teams but if the team was a professional one that played as part of a well-established league then it might well be considered notable. If it was an amateur team, then some high profile reports in national media publications might make it notable. That's my view anyway. Maybe others will have more information for you. No Guru 19:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. The team has featured in a local paper. It has a fixture with a university team and was invited to a tournament but could not make it. Have you any precedents that you can show me about a similar issue. I do think a more 'solid' definition is needed before it could be considered for removal. Thank you for your time and dealing with this in such a nice way. Wright123 19:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. My local paper carries all kinds of stories on local sports (Slow-pitch softball teams, Over 55 Basketball leagues, Women's ice hockey), but it doesn't signify the kind of notabilty that would warrant an article on Wikipedia. No Guru 17:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was insufficient consensus to delete so I'll call this a redirect to transactinide element, although I don't think it's a likely search term. Article contains nothing worth merging as far as I can see, since all transactinide elements with atomic number 115+ are believed to unstable, radioactive and undiscovered. That goes for number 176 as well. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsepthexium

Delete. Article creator claims this element exists[60], and removed a prod on that basis, but only evidence for the element's existence seems to be misunderstanding of a site that speculatively lists not-yet-created elements[61]. Some as-yet-uncreated superheavy elements may warrant their own articles for one reason or another[62] but no argument has been given for why this particular one should be among them. See also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Elements#Elements_beyond_Rg.--Calair 00:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Merge and redirect to Transactinide element. (vote altered slightly) --MacRusgail 01:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to Transactinide element. I agree with Femto's comments on the Elements project talkpage cited by Calair above. Number 176 is so far from existing even for a moment in a particle accelerator that it's not encyclopedic to discuss it, or any atomic number much higher than 116, as if it were a "real" element with properties that a reader might experience. Barno 02:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Merge per above --TBC ^{??? ??? ???} 02:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Do NOT Delete this article does warrant a page on Wikipedia. It depicts a factual atom, and its source is correct. Visit it for yourself--it only list known elements. It is absurd to suggest that such an article should be deleted, because it represtents the very issues that Wikipedia was created to handle. Theonlyedge 13:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC) PS: I'm sure if I'm supposed to say "do not delete" or something else

You usually say "Keep". However, I think your sentiment is clear. Georgewilliamherbert 21:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I have visited the site. It has an entry for all element numbers up to #202, including many others which have not yet been created. Note that for elements that have been created, it lists a discovery date; no such date is listed for #176. Furthermore, if you check the entry for #118 and view image properties, you will see the image tagged as 'Place-holder, no picture available of Ununoctium'. The (very similar) image associated with #176 is similarly tagged 'Placeholder', as indeed are all the ones past #118. I'm not clear about what part of the page gives you the impression that #176 has been created and #177 hasn't. --Calair 21:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Merge and redirect (rather, just redirect, since there isn't much to merge). "Known", as in "not completely fictional"... but still only "hypothetical". There's no reason to have a separate article. Femto 14:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Merge and redirect as no source or reference has been put forwards supporting its factual existence (and, following superheavy elements somewhat, this is way way way beyond where science was a month ago, by around 60 atomic units...). If you're going to claim something as factual which is extreme and beyond boundaries, it requires better proof than this. Georgewilliamherbert 21:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

'DELETE' and create new REDIRECT to Systematic element name like all the other superhigh element names, the others redirect to Systematic element name, so this one should too. 132.205.44.134 23:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Strong delete as this element has never been made, and there next closest "real" element is 116! Olin 04:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

DELETE as it has no basis in chemistry as we are not even close to synthesizing it yet. Ryan Jones 09:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

DELETE the reference goes upto Binilnilium 200 while scientists had to stop with 117 or so.--Stone 09:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

DELETE, DO NOT MERGE, its purely fictional and just the result of a program that calculates orbital occupancies. This atom will never ever be produced let alone be analyzed. Cacycle 11:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Oh, now, don't say it will never be produced. There are few physical limits on the ability to build bigger heavy ion accellerators, and the techniques which have rather reliably let us produce up to the low 1-teens (116 so far) should extend out a good long ways. At the current rate of progress, we would expect to see it synthesized around year 2200, assuming that continuing to produce new artificial elements out past the Island of stability is seen as worthwhile for any purpose. Georgewilliamherbert 17:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. It has never been manufactured. It is not close to being manufactured. No one is trying to manufacture it. There is nothing to distinguish this element from any other arbitrary superheavy element that has never been manufactured. Truly the chemical equivalent of a garage band. Shimmin 14:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete as A3: this "article has no content whatsoever, and i suspect it is merely an attempt to improve the Google rating of the linked site. Physchim62 (talk) 15:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

After doing further research, I have learned that this element does not exist. There is no reason to keep it on Wikipedia. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to change my above "Keep" vote, but i'd like to change it to Delete. If it is merged, it so should the other atoms up to 200. I'd say.
