This is clearly a self-reference, and does not belong in the article namespace. There is no claim to notability aside from within the Wikipedia community, so the official complaint is Wikipedia:Notability (people). Delete Makemi 00:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Armenian Genocide and position of Turkey
POV fork of Armenian Genocide not discussed at all on talk page of article. In fact, previous consensus was that a page such as this should not be created. Point being that the goal is to get the original article to inclusive NPOV, rather than splinter off the minority view. pschemp | talk 08:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC) I withdraw this nomination. I feel the debate will be damaging to the community. pschemp | talk 23:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete if nominator provides evidence of a well-established consensus against such an article on the talk page. Otherwise, weak keep - it doesn't seem to be intended as a POV fork but rather as a factoring-out of material into a proper sub-article. Which I think might be legitimate, because the present-day disputes within Turkish society and between Turkey and the rest of the world are really a topic reasonably distinct from the historical discussion of the genocide itself, so a separate treatment might be not such a bad idea after all. Lukas (T.|@) 15:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Ah, well this has been a nasty messy topic and the archives are full of fractured discussion, but I'll do my best to find the comments. pschemp | talk 16:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
-
Ok...here's one, (I am only including the opinions of serious editors to the page, it attracks a lot of POV spam and such from random anons. Also, its not like eveyone lines up after each comment and says, "I agree" or I disagree".) Actually, we would delete such an article since it is a POV fork. The point is that the Armenian genocide is hardly contested outside Turkey and widely accepted as a historical fact. Immediately after the genocide and more recently it is partially accepted in Turkey too. Both the history of the genocide and the fact that many Turks and few others have reservations is well covered in the article. Therefor it is NPOV. We also cover the recent recognition of the genocide in Turkey, but are still weak on its early recognition. gidonb 22:51, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
So what are the arguments in favour of deletion? Lacking such arguments, I'd say Keep, but perhaps call it Armenian Genocide, Official position of Turkey. Lambiam 18:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)</nostrike>Look at the history. Proposer changed her mind. Lambiam 18:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)Keep, especially in view of recent developments: Denial of Armenian genocide.

[edit] Matteo Carandini
Vanity page, non-notable neuroscientist. DeleteThis person has a record of publication that is comaprable to anybody at his stage in his career, none of the pubs appear to be from his own laboratory, but rather work done as a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. Nrets 02:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
-
- Very Weak Keep Upon further reflection, this person is as notable as many others that are allowed to remain on WP, the bar seems pretty low. He does have some articles as a principal investigator (which come up in a medline search) in top scientific journals. While I still think he is not nearly as notable as many other Neuroscientists who are not in WP, I guess this is not a good reason to delete him, although the arguments for keeping him are pretty weak as well. So I have changed my vote. That being said there is very little in the article to reflect his notability, and perhaps the article could be improved to show why he is more notable than the avrage assistant professor.

- Instead of insulting Wikipedians who disagree with you, why not change their minds by adding evidence of notability to the article itself? dbtfztalk 18:48, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Because the already listed credentials and bibliography are sufficient, and should be seen as sufficient. As for civility, too many AfD discussions, especially about academics and writers, are just cesspools of derogatory comments about subjects and authors of articles that are labelled, often incorrectly, as "vanity" (even though the relevant policy is quite specific that "vanity" is not a grounds for deletion). The obsession with deleting non-celebrity biographies is extremely damaging to Wikipedia and to its reputation. The same editors turn up, over and over, in these discussions, sometimes even admitting they don't read the articles they vote on. If you look through the discussions and see how the misbehavior is unchanging, you'd come to the conclusion that "aggressive ignorance" and "irresponsible" are relatively mild, and entirely accurate, comments. Monicasdude 20:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing in the article itself indicates that the subject is anything more than a run-of-the-mill academic. Incidentally, my name got over twice as many hits on Google scholar, and I am absolutely certain that I am non-notable.

Comment Just to second that, the subject of this article does not have any publications as an independent investigator. If you look at his publication record you will see that he is never the last author. In scientific publications the last author is the principal investigator in a study, the first is the one that does the actual lab work, and this could be a graduate student or postdoc. The subject of this article does not have any more publications that the average Assistant Professor and is not notable within his field. I'm not saying he's not talented or smart, just not notable enough to merit an article. So no, this is not aggressive ingnorance, but an informed choice by someone who is in the same field.

[edit] Llull voting system
Is Wikipedia turning into an aristocracy now? Administrators have now disregarded official policies regarding this article two times. One time in keeping an article having a 3-1 vote in favor of deletion based on a personal judgement of the article's noteworthiness, the other for removing the entry from deletion review without there being a majority of votes endorsing the original result.
The Condorcet method already contained a reference to Ramon Llull, but this was later removed based on an argument that IMO borders on original research. There is no reason to effectively duplicate the contents of an article under a protologist title. Instead, Llull's role could again be mentioned in the Condorcet method article under a newly created history section. -- Dissident (Talk) 02:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, unencyclopedic. Royboycrashfan 02:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't agree with the tone of this nomination, but I agree that the article should be deleted. Llull did describe pairwise voting, but to consider his description a "voting system" in the modern sense is unjustified extrapolation. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 02:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

- Abstain. I don't like their tone of the nomination either, nor its defiance of the Deletion Review (which just closed 2 days ago). If Dissidant had done more than just provide a vote count to the DR (like commenting on the closing admin's complex rationale, or Xoloz's support), maybe their call to overturn the previous result would have garnered some support. That said, please, no one vote speedy keep because of the recent AfD and DR; this article is not worth further drama. I was the sole full supporter in the first AfD, and though I want this voting system covered, I do not much like this article, and won't argue to keep it on principle. The material could be covered well with two or three sentences in Ramon Llull, and I'm sure someone add it there eventually. In the meantime it's not important to keep this article around (or order its merger), since no one (including me and Rspeer) seem to want to salvage it. ×Meegs 07:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per User:Rspeer and an astounding one unique Google hit that is not from Wikipedia or a Wikipedia mirror. If it's worth mentioning, mention it on Ramon Llull or Condorcet method. And in retrospect the original closing should probably have been an extension given how few votes were available, but the tone taken in this nomination is unhelpful; you can hardly blame admins for not deleting when confronted with a 2-1-1 split and a no-consensus DRV. --Aquillion 10:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

- Comment. I have no particular opinion about this article since I don't know much about voting systems. When I closed the first AFD as a "move" it was not due to aristocratic arrogance, but because Meegs presenting some reasonable arguments and evidence of the system being mentioned separately in a scientific paper. These arguments were, I felt, unrebutted, and moving this to the term used in that paper would satisfy some of the objections regarding the neologistic nature of the title. Such comments and discussion outweigh the pure vote count. The guideline is "when in doubt, don't delete". If it should have been deleted after all it can be renominated like here. Now, I see that Meegs no longer has voted keep because of the article's quality, so perhaps a consensus can develop this time around. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- Redirect because although it's fair to have somehting here as a likely search term, this article adds nothign to the sum of human knowledge.

Just zis Guy you know? 21:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This article needs to be improved rather than deleted. Student unions, which all students belong to, are legally separate from the university and they are notable. If Schools are notable, the much larger student unions certainly are. When one article in a category does not yet meet the excellence criteria of the others, real efforts should be made to get others to improve it or improve it yourself, rather than just jumping to deletion. --Bduke 21:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black Eyed Kids
With a low Google yield for "black eyed kids", this appears very strongly to be a neologism. Is it in some use? Yes. However, the term is not widespread by any means. Are there notable cultural uses of kids with blackened eyes (i.e., the eye itself is all black)? Sure, there are plenty of scary movies that might use that effect, but they're not referred to collectively as such in any of those films, and cataloguing them and trying to make blanket statements about them is rather original-researchy, IMHO.

- Delete, as not sufficiently encyclopedic. According to a page on about.com, this is a reference to one of Art Bell's stories of the paranormal. It seems to involve the evil eye, vampire mythology, and a harbinger of death with a new twist, a fear of children. If it could be expanded and improved to something like Men in Black, it may be worth keeping, but since it hasn't been improved much beyond the version of June 15 of last year, I have no reason to expect that it will get any better.

- Comment One of the biggest problems I have with this article is that it is not written as being about a piece of longstanding folklore (which is not clear that it is), but as undeniable fact. This is perhaps worse than writing about other fictions as fact, since the reader cannot easily understand it as being about a tv show or a book. It's in entirely the wrong tone for an encyclopedia article, and I don't believe with this particular article that can be easily fixed, from where it is now. Makemi 16:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

- STRONG Keep, this is a notable phenomena that was reported on the reputable About.com paranormal directory. There may not be many sightings but it is nonetheless relevant and has been in the public eye, including reported in the media - seeing as this phenomena was experienced by a Texan journalist. It has also been reported in Above Top Secret and Snopes - to delete this would be wrong and silly. Piecraft 03:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I noticed many people speculating that this is indeed not fact but folklore - however from the various different sources and experiences it is as "factual" as any other paranormal phenomenon i.e. Chupacabras and Ghosts. Therefore it is not only part of folklore and legend but a rather recent form of paranormal phenomena which should be taken into account. Regardless whether you believe in it or not that is not what is up for debate. It is definitely verifiable as someone earlier stated Art Bell and the other sites mentioned.

[edit] Beyond the Standard Model
Appears to be original research, and in any case the article name is faulty. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I don't pretend to know what the heck this article is about, but if it's not original research, then the tone needs to be changed from that of an instructional manual to something more encyclopedic. --djrobgordon 08:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep For now, I suggest keep; it's got some summaries of stuff I have seen elsewhere in depth in physics literature, and is a good overview for aspects of the problems with the standard model. I think it appears to be straddling the line out towards original research, but isn't clearly over it. It clearly needs references, some cleanup, and to be made more encyclopedic in sections. But those are cleanups, not AfD justification. AfD is not a substitute for cleanup tags. Georgewilliamherbert 08:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Georgewilliamherbert. --Siva1979Talk to me 15:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, per my assumption that GWH knows what he's talking about :) . — Adrian Lamo ·· 19:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This is certainly not original research! It is a summary of well known ideas about physics beyond the standard model. There is also nothing faulty about the article name at all. It is good to see professional physicists taking the time to write articles here at wikipedia. We don't need to boot them out by removing their articles here. This article fits well into the category of articles on fundamental physics here in wikipedia. An article of this sort was actually needed. It's a bit technical, but this article will be linked from articles about the standard model, supersymmetry etc. to give the motivatons for physics beyond the standard model. Count Iblis 00:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. No original research (but should include some references). Could very well grow into a nice article. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. The tone implies original research, but it most definitely is not. — Laura Scudder ☎ 00:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This isn't my field, so I don't pretend to understand the article in detail but I think it's a sincere attempt which just needs some editing to make it more encyclopedic. Alison Chaiken 03:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep — The text part looks legit to me and covers several issues I read recently. I can't begin to know whether the formulae are accurate or even representative. Hopefully they will be clarified at some point. :-) — RJH 04:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per above, and let me additionally note that that the article title is perfectly appropriate. "Physics beyond the Standard Model" is an extremely common phrase, for which Google estimates 241,000 hits. Melchoir 04:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Then shouldn't the title be "Physics beyond the standard model" (notice case as well)? --Nlu (talk) 05:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Standard Model is usually (perhaps even always) capitalized in physics, as it refers to a specific model. Adding "physics" to the title is fine with me. If the "beyond …" is considered to be too unencyclopedic, perhaps we can use Extensions of the Standard Model? But I'd prefer to have somebody who really understands this stuff to choose the title (that is, not me). -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 05:21, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, Physics beyond the Standard Model actually sounds more professional. I think "beyond" is just as encyclopedic as "Standard"; the word is entrenched in modern usage. Melchoir 05:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- This is not original research. In fact, everything in this article is fairly well known in the community. And "Beyond the Standard Model" is the standard name for it.

- I don't mean to be difficult, but I'm not sure you do. "unique" Google hits are a nebulous concept, and of little to no value in judging the notability of a given topic much of the time. While very low or very high numbers might be meaningful, midrange numbers just don't tell you much. They absolutely don't mean that all results other than that number are duplicates or repeats. Anyway, I'm sorry if my original reply was terse, but nominations based on "unique" Google hits are one of my pet peeves :) I hope this clarifies my position. — Adrian Lamo ·· 08:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

- Are the number of Google hits the only way to ascertain notability? There may be no Google hits for several notable things. We do not have google hits for all the Chief Ministers (past and the present) of Indian states and all the Vice Chancellors (past and the present) of all the Indian universities. Are they not notable? However, as I am aware of the nominator’s experience in such issues, I am voting a Delete. --Bhadani 15:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Are we going to copy and rebuild the WOTC online Magic Card database on Wikipedia, diversified out with a little fan speculation and some material coped from copyright articles on the WOTC website?

- There was a VfD vote last June, which resulted in a keep vote. Now the VSU bill has passed, it might be time to review this, but Barendse seems to be far more notable than Crawford. It's not just about what position you hold, it's about what you do in office. Crawford didn't do anything worth noting on Wikipedia; Barendse shaped a major debate. Harro5 09:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horror Hardcore
This article is pure neologism, the creator has tried this before with "Gothcore" which was deleted. - Deathrocker 07:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete the term is real, although its 643 Google hits don't prove it to be widely used. Rather than an actual genre, it seems to be a neologism used by fans searching for a word to describe music that shares aspects of Horror punk and Hardcore punk. I'd hate to start a precedent of including every conceivable fusion genre, lest Wikipedia fills with articles with titles like "rebetika-rap" and "klezmer-rockabilly." --djrobgordon 08:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. A search for "Mikael Klasson HexIt" returns enough results to show that this item is being talked about on a variety of websites, so it is verifiable. Download.com shows nearly 10,000 downloads in just over 6 months, so this is a piece of software that people are finding useful. This is not nonsense. This is software that people are using and talking about, and is growing in importance. Not notable is not a valid argument. And there is enough information there already to show it has scope for being encyclopedic. This is not a valid deletion proposal. SilkTork 13:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Candidates for the 54th United Kingdom Parliament
This article has no precedent for earlier elections, but more importantly there are more convienient ways for this information to be collated. The existing election "main page" and Constituencies in the next UK general election article bring together the information attempted to be listed here. This list is nowhere near complete, and seems unlikey to be adequately completed without massive duplication of information on individual constituency pages. Delete on the grounds of listing information which can be adequately covered on existing articles. doktorb | words 08:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep on the condition that the chart gets filled out. This is no less valid than the lists on United States presidential election, 2008, and I can see how having this information in one place, rather than scattered across various articles, could be useful. --djrobgordon 08:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I agree but the UK system means, in over 600 constituencies, over 3,300 candidates from an array of parties. This table has never been attempted before and I wonder if it the potential for duplication and inaccurate information means it would be acutally easier to keep the information in the current articles rather than this. I am interested in any clean up suggestions people may have... doktorb | words 09:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I'm admitedly ignorant to UK electoral process, and would welcome suggestion from anyone more familiar. Perhaps there's a way to divide this regionally. An Americentric example would be having separate pages for House of Representatives candidates from each state. --djrobgordon 17:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. You could possibly have it organised on the grounds of Government Office Regions for England and for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as constituencies. Perhaps this would be better discussed over at the UK Noticeboard as well as the noticeboards for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Welsh noticeboards rather than here for the moment. We will have plenty of time before it becomes a concern. Capitalistroadster 02:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. To include every candidate and every party would make this table enormous and sprawling. This information is much more useful on a per-constituency basis, and pages for each constituency already exist on WP. Qwghlm 10:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Needs good maintenance but it is encyclopaedic. I have at home a publication which included prospective candidates (as they were called then) from 1971 for the 1974 general election. David | Talk 10:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Deleted here, redirected to Neil Cicierega at The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and elsewhere, redirect endorsed by WP:DRV, but the article is back again. Maybe it's notable by now (after three months "out there") but maybe it's not. Either way this seems to me to need an AfD decision to avoid being speedied as a re-creation of previously deleted content. My personal view is that individual Flash movies are not notable except in extraordinary circumstances, but there you go. I'm also just the teensiest bit fed up with content being endlessly re-created until eventually it gets kept; for some reason this content is almost always related to some internet fad or aparent neologism. Yet more proof, in my mind, that we should not even try to document anything until at least a year after it happens, to allow a proper perspective to develop.

Is an artist who uses a single brush any worse than one who uses 20 different types? 26 comics have been released, one a week, and there are plenty more to come. Sure I could release another 15 now, but the whole "1 comic a week" system would break down don't you think? Everything starts somewhere. LoudHoward 11:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment You're right, it doesn't matter. However, this AfD isn't an attack on your comic, it simply means that it may not suitable for inclusion in wikipedia yet, as it may be too new and/or have too few readers. Henrik 11:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

The official web site is http://www.tassimodirect.com. Furthermore, this article is not an advertisement for a product. Look at the article for Kraft Foods. Many of Kraft's product brands have Wikipedia articles. This article is no exception. DLC3172 17:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Monicasdude. Note no serious reason was given with the prod tag and no reason is required to remove a prod tag. -- JJay 18:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep per above comments. Deckiller 20:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Copyvio, tagged as such. Slight rewording and the fact that the source isn't a commercial content provider are irrelevent. See Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ. Melchoir 05:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- So far we've got one keep because we haven't deleted pokemon, and two keep's per we haven't deleted pokemon? Anyway, despite the "Unbiased news and information about Tassimo" from www.tassimo-world.com I'd have to call this advertising and unencyclopedic unless sources provided. - brenneman{T}{L} 14:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- It's tagged as a CV right now, but I'd keep a legit article on the topic. Among other things, selling them was the featured task one week in "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" (see The_Apprentice:_Martha_Stewart#Week_9:_The_Coffee_Achievers), and that probably counts as notable media coverage. Until we get a non-copyvio article, Redirect to Kraft Foods, the parent company. -Colin Kimbrell 16:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Note I still insist that a rewording of information is not a copyright infringement. But, in any case, the author of the article is also the owner of the web site in question. So, no infringement. Somebody please remove the infringement notice. Also, if you are going to consider this "unencyclopedic", please proceed to delete the thousands of brand name articles on Wikipedia, including all the brand names mentioned in the Kraft Foods article, of which Tassimo is now one of DLC3172 18:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- I quote from the very notice you wish to remove: "Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright violation". Melchoir 19:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- This is quoted from Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ: "Generally, a summary (or analysis) of something is not a derivative work, unless it reproduces the original in great detail, at which point it becomes an abridgement and not a summary". It's all very subjective. DLC3172 22:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- You're right; there is a subjective element. I have compared [10] and [11], and the latter does "reproduce the original in great detail". I'm sorry if you spent a lot of effort switching words, but it was a copyright infringement, and it must be removed. Melchoir 00:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- What do you propose I do? Invent false information for the sole purpose of preventing the article from sounding like the web site? Or maybe I should switch sentence one with sentence three. Honestly, this is all becoming quite ridiculous. DLC3172 01:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- You can use Wikipedia as something other than a mirror for a webpage. Use multiple sources, and don't copy anything. Summarize. If this isn't possible, the subject isn't notable enough anyway. Melchoir 02:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

- Can anyone agree with me that a rewording of plain, factual information is not a copyright infringement? We're not talking about a rewording of a creative, artistic work mind you. We are talking about basic, factual information. Anyway, if you want to confirm that the article author and the web site owner are the same person, send an E-mail to the contact listed on the web site and you will receive a confirmation. The whole copyright issue is a moot point, because you can't infringe on your own copyright! DLC3172 20:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- No??? What kind of a response is that? Show a little respect for the people who are trying to contribute material to the encyclopedia. -- JJay 22:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- If the original author places his work under GNU Free Documentation License it's no problem. Barring that, it is possible to "infringe on your own copyright" because you don't own the text once you hit save, Wikipedia does.
brenneman{T}{L} 01:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)- That doesn't make any sense. It's the original author who reserves the copyright. Wikipedia doesn't inherit it once it gets submitted regardless of who submitted it. In fact, Wikipedia allows copyrighted material if the copyright holder gives permission. See Wikipedia:Copyright problems: "Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Wikipedia: If you submitted work to Wikipedia which you had previously published (especially online), and your submission was marked as a potential infringement of copyright, stating that you are the copyright holder of the work on the article's talk page helps, but will not likely prevent deletion. It is sufficient to: Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication OR send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation". DLC3172 02:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't that just what I said, but in more words? The 100% soultion is GFDL, everything else is just a sticking plaster on an amputation. Wouldn't a re-write be easier than all this wiki-lawyering? And after all that, we don't seem to have established notability all that well... - brenneman{T}{L} 02:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- No, you said that it is possible for someone to infringe on their own copyright. I refuted that by quoting from Wikipedia:Copyright problems. I'm not putting any GFDL statement on my web site. I'd rather just give Wikipedia permission to use my copyrighted material on their web site, even though I don't agree that my article would be in any way violating my web site's copyright if in fact the copyright wasn't owned by me in the first place. (Can this get any more ridiculous?) If someone would remove the copyright violation notice and the potential deletion notice I could actually resume working on the article again. DLC3172 04:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- The copyright holder still has to grant permission in that email. Besides, this is all academic until such an email is sent. I'm guessing it hasn't been. Melchoir 02:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Immaterial world
Mr. Joseph Prymak (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Prymak) has seen it fit to grace Wikipedia with his original research, which I hereby all nominate for deletion in one fell swoop: Immaterial world (incl. Non-material world), Universal questions (incl. Eternal questions) and Anthropogeology. -- Sandstein 12:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete all, as per nomination. Lukas (T.|@) 13:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete interesting subjects but clearly original research. Just zis Guy you know? 17:23, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Not Delete incorporeal and immaterial because it needs to simply be edited and connected to other philosophy subjects. I do apologize for some sloppy work, but the basic ideas are there, and I will continue to edit and improve the article about the incorporeal as many past philosophers claimed to have knowledge of. Any classical professor of philosophy would agree that this is a major concern and topic for many ancient and medieval philosophers. This is not original work. I am merely trying to summarize what has been written about for thousands of years. There is no other page on Wikipedia that covers this topic. Please help me to improve it, and not delete it. Thanks. --joseph 02:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Reluctant Delete (Or Perhaps a FIX) I hate to say it, but it seems that this is original research. I do, however, believe that there is some salvagable information, if anyone would like to take the time to fix it. I just have no idea if the ammount of savable information is enough to warrant an entire page. Billvoltage 02:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Not Delete the updated and edited version of immaterial and incorporeal concepts. Ideally Anthropogeology can also be edited, but I can do that at another time, so delete it if you wish. The three articles in question are very seperate and distinct topics and should not have not been lumped together. Therefore I see it fit to vote on each seperately. Thank you for your very considerate help and comments. I do appreciate the good editing that you all do. --joseph 04:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC) I do hope you will reconsider this important and not original topic that does not come up in any search on the Wikipedia. It is not right to keep out such an ancient and common idea among many famous philosophers for thousands of years.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephprymak (talk • contribs)
- Not Delete the updated and edited version of universal questions, or perrenial questions because it is another common idea for many famous philosophers, and it would be wrong for the Wikipedians to completely dismiss this ancient concept that was debated for thousands of years.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephprymak (talk • contribs)
- Comment: It is very important to note that the above votes for deletion are not specific about what should be deleted and there are no good reasons for why exactly. Three distinct topics were lumped together. This is an improper procedure for deleting the hard work of other wikipedians and academics. My wife is also an editor, along with friends at many universities, and they would defend me, and a few have helped to edit some of this work. There really are no clear explanations for why each distinct topic should be deleted. Please do not take this personally. I am only trying to defend the writings of many famous philosophers whose books have been passed along by many humans who saw something very worthy in their ideas. This is a fact that cannot be denied. --joseph 05:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I can also list many others who defend these ideas if you need more humans to explain why. I hope that we gave some satisfactory reasons, and that these alone are sufficient instead of a majority rules situation, which is against the Wikipedian rules. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephprymak (talk • contribs)
- Comment: All of the nominated pages are in violation of WP:NOR, WP:V. I have already explained the specific problems with these articles in this discussion. Please note also that you should sign your comments, that you should vote only once and that removing the AfD tag (as on Eternal questions) is impermissible. Sandstein 12:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Sorry for my mistake of not signing properly. I am new to all of this. Thanks for the editing and deletion of improper articles on the Wikipedia, however I have attempted to edit and improve the two main articles in question. I sincerely apologize for not having properly edited in the first place. I notice that there are other articles on here that require editing as well, and are not to be deleted. Thanks again for your time and effort. If I deleted anything it was by mistake. Thanks for your patience with me. Yours truly, new to Wikipedia, --joseph 15:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: Thanks for your considerate reply. However, the first articles in particular still read like a slightly confusing personal essay to me, and not like an encyclopedia article. And Anthropogeology still lacks any sources to indicate that anyone except you uses this term, so it also looks like original research. While we're on procedure, please also note that it is considered bad form to change one's previous comments; if any amendments are necessary, it is usual to strikethrough the old text

Thank you for your guidance and patience with me as a new Wikipedian. I am impressed. I was once edited by a very rude Wikipedian, and you are by far superior. I agree to delete the article of Anthropogeology. Yes, you are right, the other articles need a lot of work, so delete them. I could not have been nominated for deletion by anyone more kind and reasonable. Thanks again for your patience and treating me with respect.

[edit] List of Muslim Christianity scholars
Closer's notes
This was fairly evenly split between delete and merge. A merge would have been compatible with some of those delete votes, but there was no consensus as to what the appropriate merge target should be.
Reason: only 3 links on the list of which one is red. The description is obscure and does not specify who "Muslim Christianity scholars" are. The list should never have been created. Pecher Talk 13:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

(in other words, it has to be important to a far FAR greater amount of people) The below user said it all with its low Alexa rating - if it is related to this site it needs to be Wikipedia:HowTo (in other words, in the Wikipedia, not the article space). I think this is best deleted. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 21:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it seems I was confused. The site I use is WikiHow and that is a very usefull site and I think it should be referenced somewhere from Wikipedia.

- You need to look things in perspektive. Of course you are going to find a Shi'a twelver book only on Shi'a twelver sites, you expected to find them on atheis sites? Al-islam.org is THE bigest shi'a twelver site according to Yahoo. It doenst get bigger and more notable than that, not as long as the book is addressing only Shi'a twelvers. --Striver 00:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- If McElwain is notable, I think it's probably more for his work with languages. As for Yahoo, it's difficult to judge their criteria for popularity. The top-ranked site is the most popular among Yahoo! users and only among the sites listed in that category of the directory, and it doesn't indicate how popular the most popular site actually is. It could be that there are more popular sites among all internet users, or among sites not listed in that directory category. Шизомби 01:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- Since his book either is academic or has academic pretensions, its low Amazon rating is of no interest to me whatever. (For that matter, even if it had no academic pretensions, a low Amazon rating might not worry me.) Whoever it was that wrote the nominal article about it clearly put no effort into the article; a small and perhaps inadequate amount of my own effort failed to turn up anything about it. Have it redirect to McElwain, at least until somebody can be bothered to write an intelligent short article about it. Even though McElwain is merely a real-life human who has written published books (hardly a matter of indisputable cognointellectual significance to millions of right-thinking Wikipedia users), his existence seems verifiable and of some note.

[edit] Euro America
The term is a neologism and the content found in the article is original research, and other content information which is blatently fabricated (and unssubstanciated in the case of Chile, by its census figures). Although "Euro America" may be vaguely based on reality (at least in the case of Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil; the ethnic demography and culture in those areas are overwhealmingly European) it cannot be credibly substanciate with the countries it presently specifies (again, I'm refering specifically to Chile).
In regards to Chile being a part of the so-called "Euro America", that nation is overwhealmingly mestizo (93%) and conforms a part of the Southern Cone in geography and politics, not by demographic or cultural affinity with either Argentina, Uruguay or southern Brazil. Then there is Paraguay, another mestizo country (95% mestizo, with its ethnic composition identical to Chile) which is also a part of the Southern Cone, yet not included as part of the the so-called "Euro America".
Then we have the contention of the "America" of "Euro America". If the neologism where to be taken seriously, would it not be "Euro South America" since it doesn't include Canada or the USA?
There already exists the article Southern Cone, and the subject matter to be found in Euro America is already touched there. Al-Andalus 15:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC).

- Well, essentially, no, it doesn't matter whether the subject himself feels he's notable or not. Otherwise, we'd have to keep all vanity pages, where the author feels he's notable but most others think not.

I don't know, when I talked to the guy, he was suprised like "online encyclopedia, what?" as if he would characterize himself as non-notable. I called back there and he is not there, apparantly he travels during these muslim calendar months to different mosques.

[edit] Exburb
The article readily and proudly states that this is a neologism derived from another neologism. Delete as—you guessed it—a neologism. JDoorjam Talk 15:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FALSE (in reply)
An entirely false premise from the outset. It holds that any neologism is invalid (or a more commonly cited line of reasoning, that any additions to the collective phraseology are somehow self aggrandizing in nature and without applicable merit.)
Exburb is an entirely valid phrase labeling a structure of pattern migration that didn’t exist until recently. Furthermore, it’s status as a neologism is entirely reliant on ones own involvement in the relevant academic pantheons. Those involved in urban planning or the various human sciences are well aware of the term in spite of it’s relative obscurity amongst the public at large.
If exburb is to be deleted, than so shall be exurb, one of the most commonly cited components of the centricity of dwelling patterns. Wikipedia has the ability to remain on the cutting edge of the collective lexicon by virtue of it's open addition procedures.
Your position is akin to a linguistic xenophobia that maintains that anything new must be invalid by virtue of being new. While it may be new to you (and shockingly, Wikipedia too) it isn't new amongst those who are involved with the study of such things.
I agree that in many cases, neologisms are invalid. To wit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shizzle
In this case, it most definitely isn't invalid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:24.26.19.116 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Some Get It, Others Don't
I'll refrain from casting my own vote since i'm the one who penned the article and it must be obvious as to where I stand.
I wish I made it up. If I did, I would probably own the domain for it (which I just checked, and is taken by someone). To say that exburb overlaps with exurb is akin to saying that tread and retread are the same thing, or anything else where the basic logical construct is altered by virtue of a letter or a prefix is the same as it's parent phrase.
The specificity of exburb in no way negates it's applicability or validity. I'm sure there are a panoply of medical terms on wikipedia that you or I wouldn't know from a hole in the ground yet to that particular community, the're as valid as a page on the Boston Tea Party might be to a historian. You cannot on one hand cite the reference to a neologism (exurb) in support of your claim for deletion yet come to defense of said neologism when the premise of your entire point is that any neologisms that you have yet to hear of must be invalid. As I maintained earlier. If exburb goes, than so shall exurb.
Exburbian living is particularly common in the beltway. Many formerly exburban communities (like closet communities in New York City) have since evolved into bona fide exurbs or even suburbs. Human migration is one of the most fluid and constantly changing things, and as such, the phraseology might take a little time before it leaves the confines of academia into the common lexicon.
I understand that most people don't study planning just as I know nothing about video games or those Asian Cartoon things. If someone were to post a phrase native to those areas of interest, if I were the sort who were inclined to vote for deletion for anything that I didn't understand, I might take such a position too.
Let it be known that taking such a position is incorrect and if that thinking (I'll refrain from calling it "logic" as "logic" it ain't) were applied universally across this site, about 3/4 of it would be gone.
[edit] Nope
- Comment: You misunderstood my comment. Things on Wikipedia are supposed to be verifiable through secondary sources (pretty easy for all "Asian Cartoon things".) If you can provide a source that shows that the term is commonly used in planning as you describe, I would change my opinion. Otherwise, it probably doesn't belong here. (The links in my previous comment are to applicable pages on WP policy.) Grandmasterka 02:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- Reply: Tell ya what. Since you feel bold enough and consider yourself sufficiently qualified to not only "comment" but vote for actual deletion, then i'll post a simple challenge. Everyone has a college of some kind local to them. Most of these have a Human Studies department, of which there will often times be a planning or urban studies professor.
Call him up and ask him or her what's a commonly used phrase to the communities that are outer lying to the exurbs yet still service the central metro area.
This isn't a matter of "research" as there isn't anything here that's quantifiable no more than you could justify the shizzle other than by abstract reference. The word exburb is indeed a recent addition to the lexicon in spite of you personally being out of the loop. The point of contention here is the validity of said word. You are saying it's invalid. I would ask what field you work that affords you a perspective into the common phraseology used daily by the people who study this stuff day in and day out?
There is nothing more offensive than getting advice on field-specific linguistics or phrases by an IT guy or a video game programmer who maybe took a relevant one credit class in college 6 or 7 years ago.
My desire to "convince" someone like you is about nil. You have already displayed your ignorance by virtue of your position, thus I have no desire to educate ignorant people. I spend too many hours during the work day doing that to waste my time with it here.
The internet allows you the oppurtunity to naysay by virtue of casting a vote for deletion. It allows small and underqualified people "the power" to have a voice even though their qualifications to speak are none. Your qualifications to comment here (I would wager) are non-existant. You used a flimsy, blanket logical premise and applied it incorerctly to this word.
In short, we have is a petty and ignorant language xenophobe. THAT is not the wiki concept.
With that said, I would like to vote for deletion as well and it's my article.
This whole Wiki concept, while very clever, fails in it's most essential precepts. You cannot have valid information without vetting, but vetting isn't a matter of "public vote". It's peer review. You cannot allow unqualified individuals to impact those who are qualified just because they can adfford a computer and an internet connection and "have an opinion". Valid information comes from field-specific men and women who study and research the topic as a matter of their lifes work and is in turn reviewed by their peers in the same field. It is not a matter of "consensus" nor is it a matter of "public opinion".
What we have here is akin to the "internet public" voting on the techniques a doctor might use for a heart surgery. Anyone can vote, majority opinions might go one way or another, but few are qualified to comment in spite of their seemingly endless desire to do so.
- Delete, no prejudice against redirect to Exurb. I am a professional land-use planner. "Exurb" is a legit concept & word. However, I have never encountered "Exburb" (or "Exoburb") as a separate concept. Google Scholar gets two hits, both of which seem to describe the same concept. Can a reference for this new concept be provided (preferably to the APA's Planning magazine - I am have a suscription)? --maclean25 03:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per Sliggy and maclean25; some of the keep arguments sound reasonable, but there isn't a single reference in the article. Melchoir 05:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Reply To Maclean: I don't seem to get the APA's Planning magazine so I couldn't source it from there no more than I could source exurb from that magazine. I do regularly steal a colleagues quarterly copy of JAPA, and I can't source exurb or exburb in that either. The ability or lack thereof to cite a peripheral source when the scope is limited to a single magazine is fairly absurd.
I am quite confident that the "exburb" concept is very regional in nature, existing only in areas where the demography affords it an opportunity to exist, thus a planner from an area without any exburbs to speak of might not be up on the cutting edge of the colloquy. For example, you won't find any "exburbs" in areas that are suburbanized 100 miles out from the main urban center. They exist in some Metro area corridors where the transit times are within reason. Jacksonville, Florida is a community well known for "exoburbs"- suburbs of the exburbs- as is Atlanta Georgia. There are quite a few in Texas as well. Of course, now everyone who lives in Florida, Texas or Georgia will confidently chime in and say that at their job as a dump truck operator, they've never heard the word "exoburb" before.
As an aside, you work in the field of land use planning? I have colleagues all around the country in that field. Might I ask what area you are in? I knew it was only a matter of time before someone chimed in claiming to be in the field yet disagreed with the term. Enter the basic invalidity of the "internet expert".
-
- I figured it was a regional thing. Unfortunately, that may not be enough for Wikipedia, which works with Wikipedia:Verifiability as a core policy. If this concept can be cited to a reliable source then it will probably get kept. If not, it will probably get deleted. The deletion is not forever, just until it can cited and meet Wikipedia's guidelines. In the mean time there are many other planning-related articles to build upon: Category:Urban studies and planning (help yourself). On your side note, I work as a rural land use planner for a government in northern British Columbia, mostly dealing with agricultural subdivisions and non-farm uses, as well as the normal zoning stuff. --maclean25 01:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Reply To Maclean: I'm actually very much OK with the article being deleted as I know that in due time, it will be back. I am correct about "exburb" today just as I will be when it returns, whenever it may be. Unfortunately, when someone else makes an entry for it, there is no doubt in my mind it will face a similar degree of unfounded opposition (as there are always nay-sayers for anything, no matter how valid, and they're far more common than the truly qualified) I now understand that the concept of this site is not to remain on the cutting edge of anything, but rather to catalogue things that can be quantified with a certain threshold of google hits, or, as "common knowledge" with a great emphasis on "common". We aren't talking about original research here with the word exburb. It's a simple addition to the lexicon that is unknown by more people than there are those who know it. I guess this entry and it's inclusion or deletion really comes down to the most fundamental philosophy of this website. But hey, look on the bright side. At least we all have a shizzle entry to reference! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.26.19.116 (talk • contribs)
-
- Shizzle has cross-references. Exburb has one red link. Exburb has 197 Google hits; shizzle has 2.5 million. Fo' shizzle "shizzle" has an article. I mean, look, if you want low-hanging fruit for a "then why not delete article X" argument, try an article like ass worship. Shizzle's got pretty strong, verifiable roots. Except even an anti-ass-worship argument doesn't get to the point: if everyone here were a land use planner, we wouldn't need references. But we're not, as you've so, ahem, politely pointed out. So we need citations. If it's so commonly used, c'maahn, you gotta be able to find some source for it in the context you use, right? Allll we're asking for is a few citations. JDoorjam Talk 17:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Reply To JDoorjam: Your own position keeps shifting.
First, your case for deletion had to do with anything you classify as a neologism is invalid by sole virtue of being a neologism. Now, well, golly, neologisms are valid so long as they can be sourced through a certain degree of google hits. The basic logic (laugh) of your position is that validity is predicated on google hits which is just plain dumb. Google is no friend to regional specificity, nor highly specific topical matters. For example, a regional phrase for a touchdown scored at the Meadowlands arena is "Stomping on Hoffa" derived from the urban myth that the missing body of Jimmy Hoffa is supposedly encased in the end zone at that arena. Would you believe that not a SINGLE google hit came up for "Stomping On Hoffa", "Stompin On Hoffa" Stepping On Hoffa" or any variants thereof. In spite of googles inability to catalogue this regional colloquialism, it's heard about every ten seconds in that area when a game is being played. An entirely valid regional "saying", not one single google hit. I am sorry but your case for deletion is very, very weak. It basically holds that anything new is invalid so long as you personally haven’t heard of it or it doesn’t meet a certain threshold of google hits. This site is not an extension of google. It’s a consortium of knowledge from many different spectrums, including those that you don’t know or understand.
- So what you're asking is that we have to swallow anything you give us just because you say it's notable? In elementary school I learned to cite sources when I wrote papers, in order to prove that what I was writing was not made up and it was not being copied directly from another source. The same concepts apply here. I can make anything notable if all I have to do is to say it's notable. Nobody is buying your latest "logical" arguments, which you keep making after you've already said you wanted this deleted.

- And an apology to me would really help matters. I was not trying to attack you earlier, I was trying to tell you what Maclean25 told you better than I did. Grandmasterka 19:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, or redirect to exurb as legitimate typo. The case for deleting may be weak according to the author's tirades, but the case for keeping is even weaker due to his lack of desire to provide reasonable and timely verification of any sort. I'm not even going to bother watching this, so save yourself the trouble of writing a paragraph to explain why I've never heard this term in my career as a dump truck operator. --Kinu t/c 23:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

- Something similar, perhaps. This one's been here since June 2005. When I glanced at its history, I did not see any AFD taggings, which is surprising. PJM 01:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Remain. This article is a legitimate entry in the category of drinking games. By nature, these grames are frequently esoteric and localized, and so would not produce many hits on a Google search. Also, as the article attempts to demonstrate, Strat was not "made up at school one day," but has been around for nearly ten years. In addition, though the game may seem arcane to some readers, to many it is indeed notable and the Wikipedia entry serves as a public record of the game's nature, past, and present existence. Many of these charges could be directed to any entry of a drinking game; I don't understand why this page is the only one up for deletion. Desmond 13:01, 8 March 2006 (PST)

[edit] Knights Templar today
This article incorporates a lot of legend as fact, and the rest is almost all redundant with the articles already existing (see Knights Templar (military order), History of the Knights Templar and Knights Templar legends) --Loremaster 19:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Speedy deleteMerge. It appears that the article creator (a new user) attempted to place unsubstantiated claims in the main Knights Templar (military order) article, and when his changes were reverted, he created this "Knights Templar today" article instead. It contains incorrect information, is full of typing errors, and probably deserves to be speedily deleted, or at the very least, marked as "merge the factual parts into Knights Templar in England." --Elonka 08:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Davidsolomon 6 March 2006:
Hello everybody,
I have exhaustively read the Talk:Knights Templar (military order) page, the History of the Knights Templar section, the Knights Templar in England page and other articles around the subject area as well and frankly there is a lot missing. Why is nobody interested in the Templars in England, or the post-disbandment history of the men in the Order there?
The Knights Templar in England page makes no reference of Baldock or its County, Hertfordshire whatsoever! That is where the Templars had their HQ between 1199 and 1254!! They founded the town and gave it its name!! Other Templar locations still exist in Hertfordshire, such as Hitchin and Hertford Castle (where Templars from Temple Dinsley - ALSO IN HERTFORDSHIRE - were locked up during the persecution. How can any serious page on the Templars, let alone the Templars in England, exclude this factual historical information? Some Templar historians seem to be terrified of Hertfordshire because they know that some people believe the Templars are still there.
Sorry for the typos, I only just created the article and I have not yet finished editing it (in face the drastic response to it may be a little premature!)
I created this article because there is not a single word elsewhere about the Knights Templar after the official disbandment in 1312. There is information about the Freemasonic Knights Templar, but they have no connection with the original Order whatsoever. In fact the only basis for a connection between the two is that somebody once claimed that crusaders formed Freemasonry to make sure they could tell the difference between themselves and the local Muslim population!
Where else in this entire encyclopedia is there information about what happened to the Templars who were not killed (only a tiny minority were killed.)
Is there no reasonable reference to legend anywhere else in this encyclopedia? I see mention of the Holy Grail in other articles but nobody wants to delete them. The Templars are positively steeped in myth and legend as I have pointed out and no piece on the Templars is complete without mention of some of the main legends that surround them.
I've only used solid information and I've also included my sources so I don't see the problem.
I urge you not to delete or make drastic changes to this article because it contains important information - with sources - that is not included anywhere else. That is why I spent so many hours creating the article!
Where else is there material on the Templars in England (the last place they went unpersecuted and the country that bears their flag as its own)? Where else is there information about what happened to the men of the Temple after the persecution began?
Please do not ignore the research of experts with specialist local knowledge like Helen Nicholson, Sylvia P. Beamon and F. M Page simply because it does not fit the usual brand of Templar material, which deliberately avoids the subject of the activities of Templar men after the Order ceased to exist. The men themselves did not spontaneously cease to exist after 1312 and indeed the activities of Templar fugitives after 1312, including the construction of Royston Cave, are fascinating. So why do many historians fearfully ignore them?! These are not modern Freemasonic Templars studying the Order from the United States.
The experts I invoke are people who live and work in towns like Baldock, towns founded by the Templars. These experts have studied the structures the Templars built after the dissolution and some of them indeed have had contact with people today who are involved with the genuine underground Templar order that continued directly from the original. Why does this create so much fear? Perhaps it is because in a cosy, neat and tidy world, if somebody important says, "your organisation no longer exists" that is the final word on the matter. But what if the people concerned don't share that view? What if they still consider themselves a part of something?
Removing or seriously altering this article will denude and rob this encyclopedia of information on a subject that appeals to a great many people. And the legends surrounding it only add to its appeal.
Thank you for reading my response.
God bless. (Posted by DavidSolomon)

- I do not believe that there is need for an additional article, so the Knights Templar today article should be deleted or redirected to Knights Templar (disambiguation). Other information should be incorporated into existing articles as follows:
- Additional information about Templar activities in England should be merged into Knights Templar in England (which I agree, is badly in need of expansion)
- Additional information about what happened to Templars in the decades following their suppression in the 1300s should be merged into: History of the Knights Templar
- Additional information about Masonic Templar activities (if referenced) should be merged into: Masonic Knights Templar.
- Additional information that is unreferenced, meaning that it is believed to be true but does not have solid confirmation, should be merged into: Knights Templar legends

Non-notable made up game. Googling "lotball" returns 180 hits, "Federation of Lotball" returns 4 hits (quoted it returns 0 hits). It appears to have originated on this myspace page. Delete — ApolloCreed (comment) (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
If anyone saw what was formerly posted here, it was an error.
If I am not mistaken, several local Federation Lotball groups may be found in recreational societies and intermural programs found in the the Hudson Valley Region of New York, and these groups are rapidly expanding.

Doesn't the fact that we're discussing this prove that it is notable or, at the very least, that it exists? This page has now had several different contributors and I'm sure that if the hit count was known for this site, you would find that it has had an abnormally large impact for a brand new article. I understand the neccesity for putting articles up for deletion, like spam, advertising, multiple articles on the same subject, or "non notable" topics, but does this article really fit under any of those? It is obviously not spam or advertising, and this is the only lotball article on Wikipedia. Though some may claim that it is supposedly "nn," what truly defines an article as notable? I have often surfed Wikipedia and found articles on mindless garbage I don't care about. The truth of the matter is that those articles might not matter to me, but they do matter to someone, they do matter to those who know what the article is about and those who wish to learn. Isn't that what Wikipedia is for, those who wish to learn? I love Wikipedia and I love the ideals for which it stands. I would never want to make something that would be harmfull to its goals. I ask you to please uphold the ideals of Wikipedia and keep this article. -INVENTM
- Comment, This discussion does not prove that it is notable. For guidelines on notability, see notability. A topic has notability if it is known outside of a narrow interest group or constituency, or should be because of its particular importance or impact. — ApolloCreed (comment) (talk) 14:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, I am new to wikipedia and I do admit that I am a noob. But I believe you should not hold that against me just because like everyone else, I must start somewere.
- Comment, This AfD is not meant to be a personal attack. I am not "holding anything against anyone." I was just pointing out the notability guidelines. More importantly, the article does not cite any of it's statements from sources so it isn't verifiabile and because you are so closely tied to the game, the content is likely to be biased original research. — ApolloCreed (comment) (talk) 14:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, I am sorry for the misunderstanding. My apologies
- Comment,
"or should be because of its particular importance or impact." Ah, I see now. Wikipedia:Notability: "This is an essay representing the opinion of some editors but by no means all or even most editors. This is not a policy or guideline." Yes, I do see. "There is no official policy on where the line of notability lies." Yup. "Failure to meet these criteria does not mean that a subject must not be included; meeting one or more of these criteria does not mean that a subject must be included." Uh huh. "It has been argued that lack of "notability" is not a criterion for deletion, because (among other things) this isn't specifically stated in the deletion policy; and since Wikipedia is not paper with (in theory) no size limits, there's no reason why wikipedia shouldn't include "everything" that fits in with our other criteria, such as verifiability and no original research. However, since Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, there is not a strictly limited set of criteria for deletion. Articles are deleted daily on grounds of notability, and this has been common practice for over a year now." Sure.
"Many people already act on the assumption that notability is a requirement for inclusion." Though we all know about the dangers of assumptions, right? And note the use of the very word: assumption; it is not a rule, not even a guideline.
"Wikipedia is not paper and (practically) has no size limits, and so should include "everything" that fits within its other criteria. There is room for articles on any and every verifiable subject. There is no harm in including an obscure topic, because if it is truly non-notable, people simply won't search for it or link to it. It will not create a significant server load as such." This is Lotball, right here. What's the harm? Really, what's the harm? Go ahead, tell me that the lotball article is not encyclopedic. It is not a vanity page, it is not a spam page; it is a thoughtfull, formal article on a topic that deserves to be included in the vast servers of Wikipedia. Please consider these points and judge lotball honestly and neutrally. Thank You. -INVENTM

[edit] Chei Mi Lane
- Delete The author of one non-notable book. She gets 402 Google hits, nearly all of which are e-commerce or index listings for the book. It appears that this page was created by Ms. Lane. djrobgordon 19:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I believe the subject of this article meets WP:BIO. To quote from the notability criteria: "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more." Whether this is an appropriate guideline is debatable, but until we have a consensus to change it we ought to follow it. NoIdeaNick 20:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. He (according to his coauthor, although some sources list Lane as transgendered) is credited as the author, and the book certainly appears to meet the notability threshold.

[edit] Witch trials
This is a POV fork of Witch trial. Applicable policies are WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:OWN, and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#not a soapbox. I have tried to engage the editor who created this article in constructive dialogue. This person has characterized various Wikipedians' attempts to bring the page in accordance with Wikipedia policies as "censorship" and insists, among other things, that a highly POV discussion of Abu Ghraib prison is relevant to witch trials. The article creator removed the merge flag I had posted and replaced it with an informal poll on the talk page about whether to delete the article, so I'm nominating it here according to standard procedure. Durova 20:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Students 4 michigan
Contested PROD. Was prod-ed as "Non-notable student organization". The prod was removed by an editor and the proposed deletion has been disputed. Along with this organization's political opponent, Michigan Progressive Party (also a contested PROD now under deletion consideration), it is a university organization of no particular note, whose 27 distinct Google hits are essentially all from University of Michigan and student websites. Delete. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aaadietya
Dear Friends,
I am Aaadietya Pandey. I have been recognized as the youngest Astrologer-Numerologist world over by Hindustan Times (a famous international daily).And am awaiting a Certificate from Guiness World Records for my Infinity Calendar theory. They will certify me as the fastest human calendar.
As far as the page on Wikipedia is concerned, it is not a self publicity because it has not been done by me but my followers and disciples.
I am a columnist for Hindustan Times and the Times of India, so there is NO PORN or VULGAR matter on my page.
I am a spiritual person and have no inclination towards SKEPTICS as pointed out by JoshuaZ.
For those of you who might be having problem understanding Hindi, i would like to inform that neither the page on wikipedia nor my website contains terms in Hindi which cannot be understood. Only the honorary title awarded to me mght not be decipherable. It is 'Ved Vaachaspati' which meand the person who is a laureate in vedic sciences, a person who has an indepth knowledge of vedas.
Yes, there are not many pages linked to my name Aaadietya because I have recently corrected my spelling as per numerology. Originally it was Aditya" so my contributions to the world wide web were earlier published under the head Aditya.
Lastly, I am really glad to see so active members here on Wikipedia and I think my name must not be made an issue to discuss upon. So I request that this entry might surely be removed if still my dear friends do not think it appropriate.
God bless!
Vanity about non-notable astrologer. Name returns 38 google hits JoshuaZ 22:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - Hmmmmmmm... Perhaps a search in Hindi characters would reveal many more results? If the article is verified and is true, I'd say he's probably notable enough (barely.)
- Weak delete I'm leaning towards thinking he's non-notable, but am open to being proven wrong. — Adrian Lamo ·· 00:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment seems to have actually been mentioned in the Times of India [34] sorry, this link seems to pop up a "print" dialogue. Other references, when tracked down, seem to be websites and forum postings. I think we might be hitting a language barrier here. --W.marsh 00:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I may need to withdraw this nomination pending investigation. Does anyone here know anyone who knows enough Hindi to check this out? I'm slightly skeptical that the person is that significant because most of the major Indian astrologers/yogi/whatevers show up on a fair number of the skeptic pages (like randi.org ) and this person shows up on none of them. If someone can convince me this is simply a language issue, I will withdraw the nomination. JoshuaZ 01:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

- Keep per Patcat88. --Siva1979Talk to me 15:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete - veiled advert. As for the name, it should be Aditya, a common name in India, but it appears that he is spelling it differently for numerological reasons. btw, I too don't understand what Patcat88 is refering to. --Gurubrahma 16:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Googling for Aditya + Astrology shows up 60,000 hits or so, but none for as far as I looked(first three pages) seem to be about this person. JoshuaZ 16:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm starting to think this is a self-created vanity article. The article creator's user page has a link to this astrologer's website, and the username is on the website. It makes the validity highly questionable. So I'm going to say delete.
- Can't find any reliable references, so I have to say delete as possible hoax. Stifle 11:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Barbarians are Coming
Book is not a significant contribution to the literary well. Hummer190 23:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I can't speak for Jamesw9, Hummer190 or whoever the other people are, but I have made edits to more than just David Wong. I resent the ad hominem attack. Speaking of sockpuppets, notice that the same people who are defending Barbarians are Coming as a pulitzer prize winner are the same people who defended David Wong Louie's entry. I don't think drawing sockpuppet reference to the supporters of David Wong Louie is useful. I believe each of them has an opinion, that while different than me, deserves respect, not personal attack. Genb2004 06:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Note to closing admin: Hummer190, Genb2004, and Jamesw9 all have the peculiar habit of editing virtually no pages other than those pages related to David Wong and David Wong Louie. Make of this what you will, but I would at least draw a sockpuppet inference. Monicasdude 00:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Science fact
Second nomination. See discussions here and here / Ezeu 23:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Although I originally deprodded this (because prod isn't appropriate for an article that survived VfD), I think Ezeu is right. I don't see how this can ever be more than a dictionary definition, and I don't see where it could be merged. It's just a wordplay--not actually about science fiction or science either one.
