  • Delete not only is it uncited and (for me) unverifiable, it is also utterly implausible - the chances of anyone with the name Matthew Adelman serving under Napoleon are vanishingly small. Just zis Guy you know? 16:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MACRoCk

Delete non-notable music event. Article fails to establish notability by using citations or establishing verifiability of claims. Strothra 00:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's notable enough. My brother went to JMU and I lived in Harrisonburg briefly, btw, so that might make me biased. But it is verifiable as a local indie rock festival and receives coverage from newspapers each year, not to mention that there are a number of notable bands performing there. Aplomado talk 00:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Should be tagged for citations and/or rather than Afd. Can see blog or magazine articles at[[2]] [[3]] [[4]] [[5]] [[6]] etc... Event has been running for 9 years, attended by many bands and written fairly widely for a local indie rock festival. Certainly looks verifiable and notable enough Peripitus 01:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I tagged it for citations. Aplomado talk 01:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Peripitus. It needs some cites, but it's definitely a keeper. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as we wait for citations M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 05:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hot dog restaurants in Montreal

The PROD was removed with a "merge" tag added, but I honestly don't see that this would be appropriate as an addition to Montreal. As I stated in the original PROD, Wikipedia isn't a restaurant guide. Joyous | Talk 00:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

See also Montreal hot dog, which is a very similar article; whatever happens to this, the same should probably happen to that. — Haeleth Talk 18:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge I would merge the article. Places can be added to an overall article. This artical has some content that could be included into Montreal. Navou talk 01:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I can't see anything in the article that sounds notable enough to merge into Montreal, either. LjL 01:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, no merge There's nothing in this hot dog article that would be even remotely useful in the Montreal article. Nothing. -- Kicking222 01:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, no merge per Kicking222. If we allow this to stay or even be merged, it would open up a veritable Pandora's box of crufty articles. Aplomado talk 01:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, no merge, per above. Usrnme h8er 02:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable--☆TBC☆ 05:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Is Wikipedia the place to come for recommendations for hotdog restaurants? Are any of these notable establishments? Wikipedia is not the Lonely Planet tourguides website; perhaps recommendations can be placed on the Wikitravel pages for Montreal. They are not encyclopædic.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn, Wikipedia is not a travel guide. --Terence Ong 07:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, can't see a reason to merge. MaxSem 15:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge a sentence or two may be welcome in Montreal. Deffinately an aweful article by itself. Olleicua 17:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Would Montreal really be enhanced by a sentence like "Like every single other major city on the face of God's earth, Montreal is also home to a wide variety of hot-dog sellers, who sell things like hot dogs, at various prices"? I think not. — Haeleth Talk 18:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dishwasher Studio

Seems to be linkspam for non-notable website, disguised as editorial material jmd 01:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. It gets a surprising number of Google hits, but most appear to be from directories and personal pages. I really can't find a link that would indicate he or the studio is notable. Also, it appears "Gokcen Ergene" is more the subject of this article than Dishwasher Studio. Aplomado talk 01:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. Just more than 1000 Ghits may not be notable.--Jusjih 14:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. If you try to actually view the Google results, it stops after 54 because all the rest are duplicates. What I can't find is any actual commentary on the site from a reputable source, which strongly suggests that this is not something we need an article on. — Haeleth Talk 18:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North bar

A not particularly notable bar, other than getting a mention in The Observer. Joyous | Talk 01:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Richardcavell 02:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sorry, we can't include every bar that happens to win a newspaper award, even if it is a national weekly paper. Grandmasterka 03:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment "I think... my opinion only..." WP:NPOV violation for language and where are the winners of the award from previous years? If they have not been otherwise noted as drinking establishments or have since ceased trading then this could be a delete vote. The photographs add nothing to the article, as they could have been taken anywhere.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was no consensus for keeping, but following Abe's merge I've redirected TIN The Incompetent Ninja to Snafu Comics since there is a consensus that it doesn't need its own article. Follow the redirect back if any more information is wanted. --Sam Blanning(talk) 12:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TIN The Incompetent Ninja and Snafu Comics

No claim to satisfying guidelines for inclusion of websites. brenneman{L} 01:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • This has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. brenneman{L} 01:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Claims are incompetent, not the ninja. M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 05:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Snafu Comics, which is notable--☆TBC☆ 05:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Snafu Comics. --Terence Ong 08:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I've added Snafu Comics to this nomination. There's no evidence presented that it's any more notable than its Ninja brethren. Clearly if some supporting documentation is provided showing that this satisfies the notability guidelines for websites, I'll change my tune. - brenneman{L} 08:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep TIN I could see deleting, maybe, especially since it only has 20 strips or so, but not Snafu. Take a look at Snafu's Alexa traffic details. 17,105 is very good for a webcomic, and though I suspect Bleedman's doujinshi stuff might be the site's major draw these days, it illustrates Snafu's existence not only as an individual webcomic, but as a collective. That's more than all of DrunkDuck (already survived an AfD with a Keep, by the way). Likewise, its Google results look good, with 236,000 hits, and if you'll take a look at the first few pages of results, they're all about Snafu itself. Yes, the articles could stand some references, but I'm going to take the eventualist position and say that Snafu at least is sufficiently verifiable that some will be added. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 11:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Andy123 talk 12:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Both. Besides no claims of notability and no reliable sources and no signs of meeting WP:WEB, both articles are created and extensively edited by User:SnafuDave who writes on his talk page that "SnafuDave or Snafu Dave is the most common online user name for David Stanworth, Author of Snafu-Comicsand TIN The Incompetent Ninja." These two articles are therefore clearly WP:VANITY and counter to the official policy that WP:NOT for self-promotion. Also, note that the Alexa ranking for snafu-comics.com is particularly misleading here since there are at least 8 webcomics hosted on that site. -- Dragonfiend 15:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment WP:VANITY would have applied if this had come up for AfD back in October, but it doesn't now. This is the last edit I'd attribute with any confidence to the author. As far as the fact Snafu exists more as a collective than an individual comic, that's really an argument about what the content of the article should be, not whether or not it should exist at all. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 16:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment on unreferenced vanity articles: There seems to be agreement that Snafu Comics was an unreferenced vanity article back in October. What changes have been made since then that now raise this above an unreferenced vanity article? The differences between then and now are that some spelling and style errors have been fixed, the article has been categorized, and two sentences have been added ("Currently it has become home to a new series called Training Wheels. Additionally, it has been mentioned that Filibuster Cartoons is hosted on the Snafu Comics Server.") Snafu Comics may now be a categorized and spell-checked vanity article with slightly more unreferenced information ("it has been mentioned?") where all of the titles are now in italics, but it is still an unreferenced vanity article, and as such should be deleted. Merging one unreferenced vanity article (TIN The Incompetent Ninja) into another unreferenced vanity article (Snafu Comics) will not solve the problem that these are both unreferenced vanity articles. Let's delete them. -- Dragonfiend 03:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment This is as far as I'm willing to go: merge information about TIN into Snafu and rewrite the result to emphasize its existence as a collective. I just can't justify deleting it with the numbers I'm seeing. It'd be nice if we could add King of Fighters Doujinshi, PowerPuff Girls Doujinshi and Grim Tales from Down Below into it as well, but that's mainly because Bleedman's stuff creeps me out a little rather than for any legitimate reason. Such a move would be strenuously resisted as well. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 08:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge TIN to Snafu. Definitely had its roots in vanity, but now seems to be established as a credible site. Just zis Guy you know? 17:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I seem to remember a webcomic inclusion guidelines. Something like if it's been around a certain number of years or has a certain readership, it's eligible for inclusion. Has this changed? Olleicua 17:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I believe you're thinking about the guidelines Eric Burns suggested. We tried to use those for awhile, but we never got much buy-in from the general AfD audience. If you can prove a webcomic has a large readership, that certainly does help, though. For the most part, now we use WP:WEB, which is a relatively good, if sometimes rather vague guideline. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 17:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: Insufficient reasoning given to delete both. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 22:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge: We don't need individual pages for every section of the website. It's not so much that the pages are non-notable as that there isn't that much info on each page. Also note the web-traffic data given above. --Tjstrf 21:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have rewritten the Snafu Comics article with TIN already merged in. Mainly what it needs now is a few references. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 15:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4th and 26

I didn't prod this because I think it's borderline, but I don't see this as a play worthy of its own article. It was a difficult play to convert, sure, but was it notable? Not really. Aplomado talk 02:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn per Jjjsixsix, I guess we can give this article some time. Aplomado talk 05:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC) Addendum: I should not have retracted the nomination. This debate should be played out regardless of the outcome. Aplomado talk 18:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete I simply can't decide on this one. On the one hand, it was a huge play that was analyzed over and over and over and over again. On the other hand, it was just one 4th down play, and one that, in the long run, was unimportant- the Eagles still lost in the conference championship game. This isn't to say that other huge plays haven't come from teams that didn't win the Super Bowl, but those plays were things like the Music City Miracle or the Miracle at the Meadowlands- absolutely spectacular, you-will-never-see-this-again plays. A 4th-and-26 play does not fall into that category. So, tough as it is, I'm voting for delete. Barely. -- Kicking222 02:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Plenty of notable single plays are already included (The Catch, The Fumble, etc.). The fact that the Eagles did in fact sell shirts making reference to the play also helps. --Cheapestcostavoider 03:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I think comparing this play to either the Catch or the Fumble is a huuuuge stretch. Aplomado talk 04:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't. Kicking says it doesn't matter because the Eagles still lost, but then the Broncos still lost the Super Bowl after the Catch and the Fumble, and the Titans still lost the Super Bowl after the Music City Miracle. If the Eagles don't make a play which required them to get a quarter of the field's worth of yardage, they lose. Simple as that. That at least ranks with the Tuck Rule as a play worthy of Keeping. -- Grev 04:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment: For whatever it's worth at this point, it's certainly up there with the River City Relay, and not only was that not a playoff game, but the Saints didn't even win. --Cheapestcostavoider 18:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
        • You rank this play up there with "The Catch"? Seriously?? Still I suppose I can buy keeping the article in that it was notable for Eagles fans, at least for now. Aplomado talk 04:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
          • It's too recent for comparisons, quite honestly. It is, however, in football folklore now, kind of like the tuck... we just need to see if it stays in there over an extended period of time. -- Jjjsixsix (t)/(c) @ 04:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and relist in a few years (yes, years). -- Jjjsixsix (t)/(c) @ 04:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep we seems to have a few of these single play articles (Hand of God goal f.x.), I agree with Jjjsixsix let relist in a couple of years and see if anybody remembers the play then. --Eivindt@c 05:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, I've come to agree that there is some claim to notability here, but for the record I think that some of you don't fully understand the significance of plays like the "Hand of God," a very famous, oft-replayed and controversial goal. A similar claim can be made about the "Immaculate Reception." The Catch and the Fumble, likewise, have their place etched in sports lore. There's Doug Flutie's Hail Mary, a last second 50-yard prayer that is miraculously caught and wins the game. There's The Play, a game won between two heated rivals based on a kickoff return featuring five laterals. This, on the other hand, is simply a long fourth down conversion in a non-championship, conference or otherwise, playoff game. It was impressive and probably notable as it relates to Eagles fans, but I don't think it's at all accurate to compare it to these other plays. Aplomado talk 06:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well worded article about important event in Green Bay Packer history. If innumerable anime characters get articles, this decisive play should have one, too. --BaronLarf 05:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - non-notable, of interest to fans of the team only. I vote to delete the anime characters, too, whenever I get the chance. Vizjim 09:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • weak Keep, I would delete as above but I think anime characters are a lost cause. My main quam with this is that it's poorly written and unclear. Some pictures and copyeditting would really help it but I think it's notable enough. Olleicua 17:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is no way this can be compared to the Hand of God, which changed the outcome of a world competition and led to significant international tension. This play is not widely known outside fans of a single sports team. Therefore, it is not encyclopedic material. — Haeleth Talk 18:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: If it is kept, would someone please add some references or citations of sources? It has been tagged with {{Unreferenced}} since February. [7] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Several football plays that only have significance to one or two teams have their own articles on Wikipedia (Red Right 88, The Play, Music City Miracle, The Miracle at the Meadowlands, etc). Kirjtc2 19:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • The Play has significance only to Cal or Stanford fans? I think you are mistaken. Aplomado talk 19:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Tell me how it would affect an Ohio State fan. And even if it does have a more wide-reaching effect than the others, explain what significance Red Right 88 has outside of Cleveland, 25 years after the fact, or the Miracle at the Meadowlands (a regular season game, no less) has outside Philly or New York (the Eagles lost their first playoff game while the Giants didn't make it at all).Kirjtc2 20:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
        • The question is not whether it affects an Ohio State fan, the question is if it's a notable play outside of a small group of fans. The Play is arguably the most famous play in college football history. Aplomado talk 23:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
          • OK, but what about Red Right 88, which was not only a single play, but one that didn't even work, for a team that lost the game? --Cheapestcostavoider 01:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
            • Well, I'd say that was significant to the team's history. It's possible I've misunderstood the level of significance of "4th and 26" to Eagles fans, so I'm not against keeping this article now. Aplomado talk 21:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of proper nouns containing an exclamation mark was List of proper nouns containing a bang

List of proper nouns containing anything is a poor start. In this case it's a loooong and still incomplete list of names containing an exclamation point. As far as I can tell there is no especial reason for choosing an explamation point over any other punctuation mark. A jumble of names, book titles, TV shows etc., which takes no account of the recent vogue for stuffing a shriek on the end of TV programme names. I call listcruft. Just zis Guy you know? 22:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I think, first and foremost, the criteria for keeping a list like this should be based on its utility. What useful purpose can this list serve? Pondered and rejected. If someone can state reasonable bases of usefulness, I'm open to changing my vote.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. This list provides a unique insight into an aspect of pop culture that has been present since the invention of film. Using an exclamation point is nothing new, as evidenced by Oklahoma! and many others.

Anyway, after several years as a developer and working still in a software house I know not of this term - which doesn't mean it ain't real, but all you get here is my opinion. There are at least two more common uses for this term, one is a Photoshop plugin, the other is a standalone software product for cutting vinyl graphics.

[edit] The Squares

Alright, I'll bite. I'm not sure, but I don't think this group is notable. There's nothing in the article I can see that meets WP:MUSIC, despite the prolific number of albums. (It usually takes much more than three years to become notable, in my experience.) Note that this is definitely not the same "The Squares" that was speedily deleted before. Grandmasterka 03:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Tough to Google a name like that, but searches in conjunction with "Mike Mahon" and "No Lizard" turned up less than 10 results each, so I think this is a delete. Aplomado talk 04:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete can not see any thing that meets WP:MUSIC. For example the albums seem to be self releases (the latest album can be found here in mp3 format). Basically fails to show or assert verified notability to the levels outlined by WP:MUSIC.--blue520 05:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - well, 2 comments. 1) Self-releasing music shouldn't be a criteria for deletion in itself; it's increasingly a choice that artists make, especially in alternative and experimental musics. 2)If this article wants to stay, it's best chance is to demonstrate that they are a regular touring act as per WP:MUSIC rather than just doing the local pub circuit.

[edit] The ShoW

Prod, but I feel we should have a debate. Prod reason was: "The first Google mention of this item combining terms "the show" and "michigan state" is number 48. I find it difficult to find a reliable mention. Is this notable?" from User:Matthew Platts, who I have notified. I deprodded and brought it here because I find it plausible that The ShoW is the longest-running college sitcom, as the article claims (and as their website claims), and if this can be verified, it seems like a reason to include it. Even if that can't be verified, if the show was created in 1988, that's a really long-running show. Still, I remain neutral. Mangojuicetalk 03:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete Even if verified I don't think it's sufficiently notable. If anyone can think of applicable Wikipedia policies with which to qualify this article that would help, but I can't think of any. I'm thinking along the lines of things like university performance groups, theatre companies, sketch groups, bands, etc and I just don't think longevity and having a few former members go on to (marginal) fame is enough to establish notability. --TM 14:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Sincerity

Though the article is cleverly coloured at the start to look like a serious article (e.g. cites of legitimate books like Scarry & Steiner} it seems to be largely a hoax, & the article eventually devolves into a fart joke. The history of the article shows that it seems always intended as a joke (rather than having been vandalized). ND 20:27, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose - Actually if you do a search on google there's plenty of stuff on it, having checked the history of the article I'd say it's clearly been vandalized: the initial post seems pretty sensible. Its subsequent edits that have pushed the page beyond the pale, however the amount of discussion around the issue on the internet would argue for its inclusion. Driller thriller 21:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, looking a bit through the history I'm wondering if the best thing is to simply revert to the very first version of the article? It looks to me like the problem is that the article started off as a serious piece on one topic (the mooted "New Sincerity" in the wake of 9/11) & then got expanded via a completely different topic (a radio show), & then the latter seems to have attracted some jokers (fans of the radio show? grad students with nothing better to do?) who have completely overrun the original, well-intended article with piles of nonsense. -- I'm not very impressed with the person who's posted to the Talk page that the article deserves preservation because it's "brilliantly retarded".

  • Oppose - I am actually writing a paper on this at the moment, and I assure you there is fair basis for New Sincerity to be included, but the article has certainly been vandalised and changed beyond the truth of the matter. Although many people claim to be the originator of New Sincerity, the phrase has been around for almost a decade in describing the work of director Wes Anderson and more recently people like Jared Hess. I think there has been enough discussion about this in various essays and magazine articles to warrent it's inclusion. (Hippo Shaped)15:22, 06 May 2006
    • If you're writing a paper, you'll have no problem citing sources for this phrase.
Onion: Does it bother you to be potentially pegged as the head of a new movement? I know there’s a Film Comment article that mentions you as part of something called ‘the new sincerity.’ Do you pay attention to any of that?
Wes Anderson: Well, I don’t know. Who else is in ‘the new sincerity?’
Onion: I don’t know. I think it’s just you at this point, and they’re waiting for people to line up behind you.
Wes Anderson: Oh, well, I’m not waiting for that line to form, and I don’t expect it to. I don’t know if there’s ever going to be much of a movement in that direction. It sounds like one that could be boring for a lot of people.
It appears Anderson himself doesn't know anything about it. http://www.coldbacon.com/movies/wesanderson.html

* Strong Oppose Well that interview was from 1999, and references the 'Film Comment' magazine article from January that year. It was around that time the phrase started so of course he didn't know. Whether or not you agree on who invented the phrase or when, the phrase describes something not described in any other way and has been used in a variety of places over the last 7 years. I'd fix this article myself, but i've never really written an article in the Wikipedia style before, but if I have time I will give it a go. Almost the whole thing needs to be reorganized and rewritten, but not deleted. (Hippo Shaped) Re:Above(17th May 2006)

  • Comment. This search shows that the term is around and is applied on many blogs etc to the work of certain directors. Equally, it shows no academic or mainstream media mentions that I can see (only got to page 3, admittedly). So, this is more of a meme-type thing. Since none of the artists who've had the label attached to their work appear to know about it or encourage it, the question is whether there is anything real here, or just a phrase that sounds good and has spread across the internet a bit.

[edit] Radio SHARK

This fails Wikipedia's policy on the notability of products. A quick Google search shows mostly reviews and simple product listings. And the Radio SHARK certainly has not become a genericized trademark. joturner 05:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Do published independent reviews in a major magazine (e.g. MacWorld) not count?

Japanese dicdef that has little hope of ever being expanded.

  • Strongest Possible Keep. Sourced, can still be expanded with a little bit of effort, and, at this point, this nomination does not appear to be in good faith. Not a single effort has been made by "hardline deleitionist" Crawford to expand this. After THREE AfDs that failed to come to a deletion consensus, and after noting that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, along with a platinum-selling rock music act and various television shows have more than noted its existence, this shouldn't even be a question. Quit it, for the love of pete. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 10:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • That's an exaggeration of the provided source. The term was one of a multiple mentioned in a transcript, included in an exhibit, of a government report. No signficant government official (to my knowledge) has made special mention of the term. The radio personalities are the ones "validating" the term, not anybody in government. I won't vote on this, due to my distaste for re-AFDs. But let's not pretend the "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES" is behind you. I don't think we want to be tossing in every term that's mentioned in a transcript, included in an appendix, of a federal government document. --Rob 16:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Not really. It was noted as an obscene comment by the FCC, as referenced in the transcript. If it's good enough for government work, it's most certainly good enough for wikipedia. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 22:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
        • We must be looking at different places. The only source given in the article is here. This is *not* a transcript of an FCC proceeding. This is a transcript of a radio show, included as an attachment to an FCC document. Nobody from the FCC make *specific* reference to a "Cleveland steamer". The people using the expression are labelled MV1, MV2, MC3, MC6 identified as "cast members" and callers of the radio show Deminski & Doyle Show. So the *only* thing this proves is that the term was used *one* day on one radio show. The FCC discussed the transcript in *generall* but did nothing to "note" a specific term. Also, the version before my edit, implied the term was mentioned in a hearing, but there's no proof of that. --Rob 00:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - while I and my nearest and dearest are unlikely to be giving this a whirl in the near future (viz. Alabama hot pocket, Blumpkin et. al.), I believe that notability is shown in this current incarnation of the article. I will not call this a bad faith nomination, but I do believe that if the article passes this AfD, there might not be much benefit in raising it again in the near future. This is a cultural meme, above and beyond being a dicdef, and as such is worthy of inclusion here. Colonel Tom 11:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

    • That's actually a rather incorrect statement regarding the merge request. I reverted the merge for two reasons: 1) lack of discussion meaning lack of consensus, and 2) one of the worst merges I've ever seen where almost none of the information from the article being merged was inserted into Coprophilia. I still disagree with a merge, given the notability of this subject. Ask 100 people - more will know what a cleveland steamer is than what "coprophilia" is, let alone pronounced. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 22:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Just because something can be targeted by vandals does not mean that we should not have articles on it. Any minority or political page is a target for vandals as well. Shall we get rid of those as well? If there are other pages that also pertain to this act then they should be merge. DanielZimmerman 18:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm generally opposed to re-AFDs. But it seems the *extreme* lack of reliable sources, has led to the blatant misuse and twisting sources to say things the facts don't support. Pretending this term has some sort of backing by the "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES" is patently absurd. The only thing worse than not providing a reliable source, is trying pretend you have one, when you don't (or mischaracterizing it). There seems to be unwillingness to properly state what sources actually say. --Rob 00:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, Wikipedia is not the urban dictionary. Stifle (talk) 00:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strongest Possible Delete. It's a dictionary definition, and WP:NOT a dictionary. Its source is not useful: an appearance in a radio transcript means nothing: WP:NFT extends: Wikipedia is not for things made up on the radio one day either. As a matter of fact, that source PROVES this shouldn't be on Wikipedia. If you look through it, you'll see that it's quite obvious that the "Cleveland steamer" term was made up by one of the "male cast members" on the spot as some kind of joke; they were having a silly discussion about gross, made up sexual practices. In fact, merging this with Coprophilia is a bad idea, because this made-up slang term is of absolutely no importance to Coprophilia. As for this nomination being in "bad faith", I disagree. I think the nominator wasn't very civil... but there is PLENTY of reason this article should be deleted from wikipedia, so I just don't see bad faith. Mangojuicetalk 18:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Looking a little more closely, apparently the supposed mention on Family Guy occurred before the radio transcript. So they may not have made up the term (though after talking about a "Cleveland Tornado", I'm inclined to believe it's a coincidence or subconscious reference to the show). Still, they obviously made up what it's supposed to mean. Mangojuicetalk 18:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Please explain how it's "obvious" that the radio show cast is responsible for creating the meaning of the term, even after the term was used on a more popular venue. I think that conclusion is pretty presumptuous, but if you have a source I'd be very interested. --TM 18:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Let me put it this way: on that transcript, it looks like they're making up the definition, so I don't even think it's convincing evidence of the definition already having been in use. But remember, the burden of proof is on those wanting to include information, not the other way around. And while we're at it... check out Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms (an official guideline) which reminds us that for something to be a reliable source about a neologism, it's got to discuss it, not use it. Assimilating many examples of use is specifically, and appropriately, described as Wikipedia:original research. This article fails that guideline very badly. Also, one last thing... I'm generally an eventualist, but I think that we've given this article enough of a chance to get real sources, and it hasn't, and it should be deleted until such sources can be found.

[edit] Main Roads of Belfast

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This list was moved from the Belfast article to a seperate page. Contains no useful information, and is unencyclopedic. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, as per User:Stumason. Unencyclopedic - Ali-oops✍ 08:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

    • The New York/HK articles are much more comprehensive. Most of the roads mentioned on them have articles. It is very unlikely that many of the Belfast roads will ever have, or will ever deserve, their own article. Stu ’Bout ye! 11:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete unencyclopedic & unnecessary. --Srikeit(talk ¦ ✉) 14:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, expand and rename if possible per JcUK. Some of these roads already have their own articles (now linked). Given the history of the area and the uniquely segregated nature of Belfast, it is in my view likely that many of these roads may well have a historical or cultural significance, especially in connection with The Troubles. For obvious reasons, Shankill Road and the Falls Road are already quite reasonable articles. I would strongly support a rename to, e.g. 'A-roads of Belfast', 'B-roads of Belfast', or similar, since the current one is inherently POV (UNLESS there is some official Highways Agency definition of a main road that I'm not aware of?). Badgerpatrol 16:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. This information has been removed a number of times from Belfast but a article is not appropriate (nor the listing of them on wikipedia). A link to an authoritive external website (explaining their significance, if any) would be more appropriate. Djegan 17:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • To those saying this list in unencyclopaedic, is the same not true of the other lists I mentioned? If so they should be AfD'd too. If however the other lists are encyclopaedic, then this one must be. You cant treat one set of roads any different from any other set of roads. Unless you want to start saying Jersey cows are less encyclopaedic than Fresian cows, Spanish villages are less encyclopaedic than German ones, or Mexican people are less encyclopaedic than American ones, for example. Jcuk 11:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Please answer the point about what defines a "main road". If this list was called A roads in Northern Ireland it would at least not be POV. Vizjim 14:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Stu & Vizjim. TheMadBaron 17:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep for the moment for reasons given by user: Jcuk and Badgerpatrol. However this should be conditional on articles being written on the other roads. If that is not done on comining months, there would be case for deletion. I note that there are artticles (of very varying quality on some English A-roads. Peterkingiron 23:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. The vast majority of the other roads do not deserve articles. The urban part of the Gilnahirk Road is about a mile long and contains nothing but houses and a school. The same is true for some of the others. You have to remember there is a distiction between the mains roads of a city the size of Belfast, and a city like London. Stu ’Bout ye! 15:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Are the main roads of Belfast not relevant information about Belfast? Why are some of the areas of Belfast listed and not others ie Ormeau Castlereagh? All the small villages are listed. 62.252.148.32 00:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Seems that other than listing the name, and how to do describe an entitiy without that, there is NO self promotion nor is there any link to Chemistry Set Records (but there should be). NN - except on about 50+ artists Myspace sites. (Per Google search) on independent white boards such as www.thejamzone.com with no affiation Also see below: Talk:Chemistry Set Records From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search My opinion is to keep it so that users are aware of this aspect of the whole "Weed" thing. I have researched on Wikipedia only to learn about the file sharing of music side. What's important to us Artists is to know how to get our music into the system and Wikid doesn't explain it anywhere else like this page does. I did a search for independent record labels and there had to be 50 entries in the "c" but Chemistry Set Record was not listed there, wonder why is that.?--Brokerdelete 21:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC) Electric Doormat, Bret, Jeff Marklein, Countrside (UK) and other artists who use CSR find this entry to be completely legit - proof? Visit Myspace.com/jeffmarklein Myspace.com/countrysideland Myspace.com/bretgrey Myspace.com/electricdoormat Visit www.chemistrysetrecords.com and select the "musicians" link and tell THEM that CSR isn't relevant. You do realize your being extremely discriminatory and favoring other labels which we artists have never heard before all over the Wiki place. Don't be biggots. Jeff. _ _ _ Wes, you gotta help me before I slam my head on the table real hard. Please please please explain why this info is worthy of a big old tag about being considered for deletion: Chemistry Set Records is an online 'label' and ICP (Independent Content Provider) for Weed™ which is a service developed by Shared Media Licensing (“SML”) [1]that lets you sell your music over the Internet and continue earning revenue even when your fans share your music with others. Note that there is nothing but factual information there. I guess you'll have to search "Chemistry Set Records" in order to see the links and you'll see NOT A SINGLE ONE even goes to CSR. There are couple internal Wiki links and only one external which is the "SML" which goes to www.weedshare.com Hey if THAT is the issue I'll gladly remove that link. You do realize that peeps going to weedshare's site helps me in no way right? So am I a vandal and spammer or something again here? Wiki is ridiculous, but Wes, you are a righteous dude so I'm hanging in there a bit longer (on 6 hours sleep). --ChemSet 15:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC) WHY would you consider this for deletion?

  • Delete per head-spinning-inducing screeds. Anons, please note that ranting about unrelated articles isn't going to help the case of this article. Also, "Someone doing something first" isn't notable per se, unless the action really is world-changing (think of then-famous and now-famous bands getting leverage from Napster - while this is just some company hopping on the bandwagon a lot later). In this case, Weed may be notable, but there's no evidence about the company's notability (unless some is provided); as such, it may warrant a small mention in the Weed article. But unless this company is notable in its own merits, it doesn't need an article of its own - so please, read WP:CORP carefully and explain a contrary point. (And what does rising up have to do with P2P music distribution, anyway? Sorry, not intended as a lame spelling flame or anything - I was just so colossally disappointed when I thought I might learn some new musical term that I had to complain. Sorry.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 21:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


Doesn't have any resemblence of spam. Doesn't have a link to themselves even. It's true no other known ICP also has a online radio station to PROMOTE and EXPOSE the artists who have files available for download in Weed format. No less "notable" than other entries. Also true that Wiki has NO information for the interest of aspiring artists (all existing Wiki is on file sharing and addresses music fans instead of bands and artists).--69.178.130.210 21:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Everything within this article is NOTABLE.

Chemistry Set Records happens to be THE FIRST ICP to not only offer the Arist access to the Weed music distribution service system but to ALSO play their songs online via stream audio radio station on SHOUTcast.com.

(How do you think their songs get put into the weed digital format? You can't just got to the Weed site and say "ADD ME PLEASE" as the response will be "GO THROUGH AN ICP PLEASE")

You are completely missing the point that until now Wiki ONLY has information about the end user aquisition and file sharing the Weed file alone, and ZERO info on how an Atist can get into the system. This is wrong completely wrong of you. Please reconsider.

The system in itself is NOTABLE and a few seaches around the net will produce many indepedent publications mention over the last 3 or 4 years... I haven't the time at the moment but will post some the history and technology behind it tomorrow.

A business plan like Weed shows a new use of technology, etc and is therefore notable. But the COMPLETE picture and this side of the equation has been missing on Wiki for all these years for some reason.

Same thing with GarageBand.com I was completely shocked that until I came along and added a page for that Wiki seems to have slept through THE BIGGEST thing for unsigned artists on the net SINCE 1997

Lastly, instead of simply suggesting deletion, why not add constructive critisism or ways to correct to your satisfaction (never understood that part)--24.182.12.127 15:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Kepple

This article was deleted through the WP:PROD system, but a person has disputed this on DRV. Because of that, I have undeleted the article and brought it here. No vote. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

    • 'Comment: The reasoning stated in the "prod" was as follows:
      • he who draws NN internet things shall be NN. Apparently, not all webcomics are NN, but he hasn't drawn any with articles
  • Keep. Have you no heart to consider him nonnotable? I am not going to support this with a lame "He is just famous on the internet," but rather, he has earned a good number of awards in Newgrounds, achieved high fame in Albino Blacksheep, especially with his Lemon Demon music videos and his best known animutation, French Erotic Film, and is a regular contributor to both sites. Many people follow his style of Flash animation, and he is widely respected throughout the internet. He did make some non-notable works, but that does not make him non-notable, because of French Erotic Film, Zero Wing Rhapsody, Only Superhuman, and a good share of others. Plus, Veloso, the author of Irrational Exuberence, is also there, and Kepple is just as popular. Another supporting point: since French Erotic Film is mentioned in the Wikipedia several times, and there is a page on Ome Henk's song, Opblaaskrokodil, in which Kepple wrote French Erotic Film, there should be a page on Andrew Kepple. One final pointer: not all famous flash persons draw ALL notable works. AltF4 is famous MOSTLY because of The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and seldom anything else. There is just one undeniable thing that there is: this page is in a stark need of a cleanup, but does not deserve to be deleted. In conclusion, even if this page is not saved, it should.

    • His work may be more noted than he is, but it doesn't change his notability. Certainly, more people knew of Seinfeld than Larry David, but his notability wouldn't have been in question. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 15:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as having no readily apparent claim to encyclopaedic notability. Cicierega's work is borderline for my money, and this looks so much like an attempt at search engine optimisation (look at all those links!) that I have a hard time taking it seriously.

  • Not Voting Again, But Getting to the Facts. I posted here to disprove and dispel your ideal, Haeleth. Veloso was famed because of Irrational Exuberence. You just did not go to Albino Blacksheep very often. It is a big site, just like Newgrounds, and it hosts that and French Erotic Film, both famous titles there. You are just ignorant of Albino Blacksheep and the world of Animutation, plus Ome Henk is notable in the Netherlands and (after French Erotic Film) the internet. --Wartys Neryon 18:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - A lot of keep comments seem to say that he's active and notable on the "Animutations" circuit. How large is this community exactly? If you could give actual numbers, that would help. - Hahnchen 14:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment - Sorry to go on this commenting thing again. Anyway, to take a far less aggressive approach, he was famous because of his animutation series, the Colin Mochrie vs. JHC trilogy, which can be seen on Albino Blacksheep but he wasn't just an animutator, but also a cartoonist in general: a contributor of two major entertainment sites. Somehow, Andrew Kepple is on the WikiProject Webcomics, and is threatened for deletion because of that. If only we could take the webcomic business as very little as possible and only mention the webcomic stuff on the external links (as is the page on Neil Cicierega, where his Farchie Archie webcomic is only mentioned in the external links), this might help just at least a bit by taking it out of WikiProject Webcomics. I wouldn't really care if the page is gone, but I do have a slight feeling he is notable in a ways. Oh yes, and there is about a few hundred members right now (I believe) in the Animutation Mailing List, but if anyone has a reliable source of information in regards to how large the animutation world is, please post it here. Forgive me, all y'all, for being rather stubborn. -- Wartys Neryon 3:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per JzG --Hetar 22:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • No vote, for now, and comment. I'm a big fan of TmsT's work, and I tend to hang out in the same online circles as him, such as the Animutation discussion list and the Lemon Demon forums; given that, I probably have an imbalanced perspective of his notability, since he is indeed quite noted relative to those communities. I don't have a good sense of how widely noted he is on the Internet in general, though if the article is to be kept, then it should include explanation of his notability, which it currently lacks.

    Colin Mochrie himself is apparently a fan of the Colin vs. Jesus trilogy, which would probably be a point in favour of Kepple's notability, but I'll need to find a reliable source for that.—Adam Atlas 23:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I normally don't suggest deletions, but this page doesn't seem to receive any replies and appears inactive.

[edit] Banned episodes of Pokémon

Contains original research, unencyclopaedic tone, a POV title (banned? or just not shown for some reason?) and - in the end - I reckon it's Pokémoncruft. Just zis Guy you know? 13:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep When one or more episodes of a popular show are banned (or withheld or whatever you prefer to call it), there's usually reasoning behind it and in most cases is quite interesting. The Porygon seisure epsiode in particular made worldwide headlines when it occured... I remember reading about it long before Pokemon was well-known in the US. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I was reading this just this morning, and I'm not one for trawling through pages of Pokecruft. This information is interesting and notable. Vashti 14:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Quite notable & encyclopedic. --Srikeit(talk ¦ ✉) 14:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is interesting and seems notable. Metamagician3000 14:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Very strong Delete - read the article, please, chaps. Not a single one of these episoes has been banned by any normally recognised definition of the word: they're just not shown. The writer speculates that the episodes have been withdrawn, but gives no proof at all. The episode with the epilepsy-inducing flashes is covered (better) elsewhere, and even that has not actually been banned. Non-notable, non-encyclopedic, speculative fancruft that is potentially untrue. Vizjim 15:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
...so rename the page, then? Vashti 15:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
To what, though? Episodes of Pokemon that don't seem to get shown any more, though we should legally point out that nobody has formally withdrawn them from circulation, at least we don't have any evidence of their having done so? Vizjim 15:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
How about Controversial episodes of Pokemon? That would cover the differing attitudes towards some of the episodes across countries. Vashti 15:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
So then all we'd need to do is change the tone and add sources. In my book, wrong tone, wrong title and no references is a delete :-) Just zis Guy you know? 16:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Vizjim (I'm starting to really like that guy). If it must be kept, move to Episodes of Pokemon that don't seem to get shown any more, though we should legally point out that nobody has formally withdrawn them from circulation, at least we don't have any evidence of their having done so. Definately don't keep it here; this is a textbook example of a misleading title. ergot 15:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, although it could use some more source verification (already tagged for that). --cholmes75 15:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am not a Pokemon fan but I found the article pretty interesting. Would maybe add a tag to get some sources listed so it doesn't seem like original research. --Zer0faults 15:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Seems a quick google search also shows many of these as being banned. I dont have the time to verify the original sources however. --Zer0faults 16:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Do you mean this search? Because I can't see a single reliable reference saying that any of these episodes have been banned, just that certain commercial networks aren't showing them. Vizjim 16:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per Vizjim. After actually reading the article, it's obvious that this is NOT encyclopedic at all. -- Kicking222 16:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and Delete per Vizjim. There isn't a factoid here that shouldn't be mentioned in the articles to the individual eps, and the Pokemon fedayeen being what it is, there would have to be. RGTraynor 16:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I also found it interesting, but that doesn't make it encyclopedic. Aplomado talk 16:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Mr. Lenahan. - CNichols 17:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strongest possible delete with icing and cherries on top per nom. and Vizjim. YES, this essay is interesting. NO, being interesting does not override the three fundamental Wikipedia policies of WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV, of which this article violates all three. — Haeleth Talk 18:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but major editing It needs a major rewriting. Major. Jebusman says so. --Jebusman 19:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs to be moved, because "banned" is not the right word, and citations added. Aguerriero (talk) 19:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article needs to be rewritten a bit, with possibly a title change, but it is full of useful information (to some) that's too long to just stick on the bottom of the Pokémon (anime) article. Censorship is one of those things that should be recorded, and it is essential information to the Pokémon anime article (unless we're planning to delete that, too). And besides, at least it's not just another list. -- Lampbane 21:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Vashti and Starblind. I'm surprised this has been nominated. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 21:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I say keep it. User_talk:Bobabobabo
  • Delete: Interesting, sure. However it has major problems with WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:OR that I don't think can be overcome. --Hetar 22:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: I think we should create articles on each of these episodes individually, and put a section in each labeled controversy over the episode or something like that. Cabby2 15:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I agree with Cabby2, especially since some people are making episode guides, and Computer Soldier Porygon has one. I wouldn't object to keeping it though. Matty-chan 21:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and give it a throughout mopping (the "really really really throughout" kind of mopping, you know). Though I'd definitely like to see this getting integrated into the Pokémon episode articles themselves (once they exist for each episode in question), after which this could be turned into a category. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 21:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to a different title. Can't think of a good one, though. But delete if no reliable sources are found (people appear to be finding some, however, from what I read above). LjL 17:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I really liked this piece and I think that it stands to good reason to be on wikipedia. I think that the title could be redirected and changed to Controversial episodes/Unaired episodes But seriously, it was enjoyed and should not be deleted. Galoisprotege 2:29 19 May 2006
  • Comment Whether or not this article is deleted, the information regarding the Porygon seizures is notable and should be preserved. --Algorithm 11:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Or clean up and merge with a related article. Most of the episodes are not actually "banned", but rather never shown. I found this page to be informative, although it does require some cleaning up. --hirokazu 15:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Andrew Lenahan - Rudykog 23:53, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Now that I think about it, Keep until all the episodes have their own seperate articles. Then make into a category, perhaps a subcategory for "Pokémon episodes". Matty-chan 04:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, useful article of reference. --FlyingPenguins 19:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it. It's not original research, I've seen this list many times. Sources can be found. Plus,when episodes of a very popular kids show are yanked for whatever reason, I consider that notable. The title of the article reads more like a magazine headline and REALLY needs to be changed, maybe to Unaired episodes of Pokemon, but the info here is good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UsaSatsui (talk • contribs)
  • Keep. Seems notable to me. I often come to this article, and was definitely surprised to see this on AfD... -- RattleMan 05:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Data

JA: By way of background, here are the previous Wikiquette Alerts:

13 May 2006
  • Might help to have an observer at Truth over the next few days, with regard to events beginning here. 07:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Stemming from an earlier dispute over the appropriate technical level for the article Truth (alert posted above, 13 May 2006), a new article Truth theory was created to cover the subject at a more comprehensive technical level. Would appreciate guidance about the proper use of Cleanup, Factual Accuracy, Merge, and OR tags. 03:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

JA: Jon Awbrey 13:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disclosure

JA: With regard to the article Truth theory, that was a page that already existed in the form of a redirect to Truth, but which I changed from a redirect to an article in order to add content that was being wholesale deleted from Truth, initially by a single editor who had been away from the page for an extended time and simply started deleting everything that he considered too "abstract", "advanced", "technical", etc., and who objected that the References section was "bloated and inappropriate" to what amounts to his opinion about the preparation and needs of the intended reader.

JA: Thus I believe it is not accurate to describe this page as resulting from a POV Fork. The need for a separate page arises from the need to address a different intended reader, one with more than an initial interest in the subject, and one who will be tolerant of a more abstract, advanced, comprehensive, and detailed technical discussion, with all due "bloat" of the Bib that this entails.

JA: The article on Truth has always been a turbulent site, as anyone can well imagine, but the editors who were doing the actual work on site up until that time had evolved a modus vivendi, involving the excruciating examination on the talk page of every bit of controversial text, that seemed to be working about as well as anyone could expect. All that went out the window on May 12. Jon Awbrey 17:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

  • Keep in some form. This can either be a stand alone article, in which case much of the section "Major theories of truth" in the truth article should also come over (with significant duplication acceptable), or get merged back into truth. But this content should not be deleted. GRBerry 02:53, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. After looking more carefully, I see I misunderstood what was going on. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this nomination caused. Tom Harrison Talk 14:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Truth as per GRBerry. The content is verbose to the point of incomprehensibility, the topic treated in far too much detail - for comparison, the Britannica article on "truth" consists of a single sentence; the Britannica has no article on Truth theory. Banno 21:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Electors who elect to read a few paragraphs of the article before voting will know that the The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy (1996) includes an entry for truth theory which refers the reader in turn to the entry for truth definition.
Blackburn, Simon (1996), The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy, Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK, 1994. Paperback edition with new Chronology, 1996. Cited as ODP.
I need not remind our crustier scholars that the EB does not count as a fully authorized source, since its entries are not signed by their authors. Jon Awbrey 21:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • No vote: Because I'd need to hear from someone more knowledgeable about philosophy to see if "truth theory" is actually a concept in popular use, but the article by itself is just unfocused rambling, mostly tangential to the concept of 'truth'. Peter Grey 21:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
The term does appear to be used by academics. [12] Tom Harrison Talk 22:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
And here is the problem; Jon is obviously passionate about his work. Will he oppose a merge, regardless of the outcome of this process? The material in Truth theory consists at least in part of material that had already been removed from Truth by other editors. Will mering simply result in the same stuff appearing under yet another heading? Banno 21:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

JA: Banno is a party to the dispute at Truth, and has a distinctive POV with respect to the questions of intended reader, level of detail, technical level, and so on. These are not primarily disputes about content, as we had a routine for resolving those issues that was working up until May 13, when Nathan Ladd came back from a long break and simply started deleting text en masse that he said was too "abstract", "advanced", "technical", and so on. If the reviewers will trace the course of the edit history beginning at the link that I posted in my first WQA, copied here, then I think that the record will bear that out. Thanks, Jon Awbrey 22:18, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

  • keep: The article truth is both too long and too technical. That article should give a brief discussion of truth in philosophy, with each major school defined, but the more technical parts should be moved to truth theory. On the other hand, the article truth theory should cover a variety of ideas, not just one philosophical specialty. Rick Norwood 13:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ivy IQ Test

This is a disputed prod. Rationale for deletion: IQ test/pay site with no independent sources external to the website demonstrating notability. Google returns no relevant hits and the website does not meet WP:WEB. Rationale for prod removal: "They go out of their way to prevent usage by non-professionals. The certifications listed meet high standards in psychology.

[edit] Multiracial

pseudo-scientific; science has yet / cannot determine which ethnic groups constitute "a race"; Category:Multiracial Americans currently is being voted for deletion (see here) largely based on the vagueness in defining what is meant by multi-racial (as opposed to multi-ethnic) Mayumashu 14:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep: I voted to delete the category because that was classifying individual people by race in a nonsensical way. The concept of multiracialism exists (even though in fact we are all multiracial) and should have an article devoted to it. Vizjim 15:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong keep The article, which has literally been on WP for years, is generally well-sourced, well-written, and contains many external links.

  • Delete per nom. Since the only piece of information in the article can't be verified, the article is basically nothing. -- Kicking222 16:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unverifiable, almost certainly a vanity hoax. Check "what links here" before deleting... Just zis Guy you know? 16:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

    • Actually, upon further research I found this article about her. Searching her in conjunction with her husband's unusual name also turns up more than 400 results on Google. She was born in 1890 which would explain why she isn't listed in the Miss Great Britain roles, which only go back to the 1940s. Notability is still sketchy though, and I didn't see any reference to Miss Great Britain, though she did win a beauty contest. Aplomado talk 19:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

    • The article gets not just a couple of days, but five whole days, as part of the deletion process; since AfD is not a vote, the closing admin is perfectly permitted to disregard early "delete" votes if the article is improved in the meantime. That said... — Haeleth Talk 19:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just one of thousands of sailing clubs, and not a famous one. The only potential claim to notability I can see is that the club was founded in 1889. However, that isn't actually anything particularly special; clubs that old are two a penny. — Haeleth Talk 19:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The Minima Yacht Club that was founded in 1889 folded in 1895. The Nore Yacht Club was founded from its remains [13], and was later merged into the Thames Estuary Yacht Club. This is a later club using the same name. Fan1967 20:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Considering that he died in 1936, the 80 Google hits for "Carl William Hansen" Kadosh seem sufficient. True, he's not notable outside his OTO activities but he founded an OTO branch in a country, that's something. AnonEMouse 15:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge, as it has already been established that this person has no notability outside of the OTO. Since the article contains little other information, a merge seems particularly appropriate. -- Kicking222 16:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Ordo Templi Orientis per JzG. Founding an OTO branch (and several other Templar-wannabe groups) is not in my opinion notable enough for a bio article without proof that it influenced a lot of people (such as the "audience of 5000" guideline for performers). Writing the pseudonymous tract cited in the article is in my opinion only notable enough for a bio if there are substantial citations showing influence. Most stuff about secret societies, especially ones whose spiel is mystical, comes through sources that are POV and not externally verifiable. Barno 18:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. With a 5d-4k situation, I realize that I may be on shaky ground, but I think that is the result which best summarises the discussion. One argument given for "keep" by Kicking222 is "...if it's verifiable that the group exists or did exist, then its article is warranted", but that is not consistent with the previous precedent we have had for bands (WP:MUSIC); except for unusual circumstances we have required some releases on major record labels or a bit more on independent ones, in this case no albums have been released. TheMadBaron has argued that tracks have been commercially released, but after looking at the article myself I cannot see that to be evident. The participation of a notable artist like Xzibit has also been given as an argument for inclusion, but his participation appears to have been only a minor side-project. In all, I find the arguments presented by Durin (lack of Allmusic entry, no productions in over seven years of existence) to be convincing. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Golden State Project

Non-notable band (does not meet WP:MUSIC), which author has removed {{prod}} and {{importance}} tags from without addressing concerns or explanation. Harmil 15:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - The band does have notable members, but WP:NOT a crystal ball. --cholmes75 15:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep The group, with its notable members, obviously passes WP:MUSIC. Whether or not they ever actually released albums, if it's verifiable that the group exists or did exist, then its article is warranted. -- Kicking222 16:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - These notable members (such as they are) are none so titanic that a "band" they purportedly formed several years ago with a formless lineup and an announced album with not a single announced original cut should get any consideration. Wikipedia is still not a crystal ball, and this is the WP:MUSIC version of vaporware. RGTraynor 16:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I like that crytal ball stuff that people use so often to justify the vote. Note that Flipmode Squad article exists as well with Busta Rhymes being the only notable member. Note that every major mainstream rapper has his own group that has its separate page. See Nas and the Bravehearts, Fat Joe and the Terror Squad, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound, Jadakiss and the D-Block...etc Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 16:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Much though anyone might not approve, WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball is official policy, not some sort of offbeat justification that one can slough off at will. That aside, the list of bands you give actually exist and actually have put out songs and albums; their notability is not in question. RGTraynor 18:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per RGTraynor. - FrancisTyers 13:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete or change into a redirect. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball (see WP:NOT). The group has been in 'existence' for seven+ years and hasn't managed to produce anything? Furthermore, there's no entry on allmusic.com which does a decent job of representing western groups and even more so U.S. groups. Clearly fails all aspects of WP:BAND, which encourages a redirect in this case; it's a side project, and worse, has produced nothing to date. This should have been speedy deleted. --Durin 13:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: A list of songs the group has recorded is listed in the article. No they haven't released an album yet. But they have recorded a number of songs. Just because they aren't on one album doesn't erase their existence. Also, Harmil accuses me of deleting the tags with no explanation. NOT TRUE. I explained my reasoning in the discussion tab of the article. MrBlondNYC 20:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

A classic case for transwiki to Wikitravel, I think. It's a travelogue about - well, bars in Brussels.

A list of song examples fitting musical intervals. Not exactly original research but not exactly encylopedic either. Prodded with the comment "tablecruft."

Ubelivable behaviuor! Congratulations! You have just deleted all my argumentations here that were well written and documented forcing people to read another page to read my arguments, so people who must vote to keep the article have nothing to read directly about WHY to keep it.

I hope these are not the methods of all moderators in Wikipedia, i.e. to delete testimony!

I don't want to comment more or I will start being offensive about these methods.

But:

I warn you mr.Stifle.

Delete any other argumentation from mine and I will start a Request of Arbitration versus you.

An Amiga emulator is no more a Virtual machine then any other emulator. Should we have pages for NES virtual machine, Mac virtual machine, etc...? I believe the topics in this article is sufficiently covered by Amiga emulation and WinUAE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anss123 (talk • contribs)

  • Keep An emulator is just a program running into an host machine. Programs run by the emulator are considered alien by the hosting machine.

Amiga Virtual Machines create a series of Hardware Abstraction Layers between the hosting machine hardware, and the software, and let it run as if it was in the original Amiga environment.

Often Amiga VM are associated with emulators engines and/or code interpreters, but this fact can't let an Amiga VM be considered as like as a merely simple emulator. AVM just could be integrated with emulators to obtain new results with limited re-use of existing software solutions.

There are at least 4 Amiga Virtual machine known. Petunia from AmigaOS 4.0, ABOX from MorphOS, Amithlon as stand alone product and Amiga Anywhere as standalone product. Read more about these products into the article itself.

Also I remember to all readers that the Amiga world it is evolving and different solutions are considered by different people developing Amiga. In the future more about virtualization will take place into Amiga world, so more phenomena will emerge and will deserve Wikipedia articles.

This is a summary of all my testimony to let this article be kept alive, and a summary of all my comments to detractors of Amiga. Hope that at least this summary will be let to stay finally without receiving any censorship.

  • Delete Keep with reserve Strong delete (this is getting more and more absurd). This looks life a strange (and OR) "parroting" of things like the JVM, which are actually intended to be virtual machines, and never were real hardware. "Write once, run anywhere" was never a stated goal for Amiga Motorola 680x0 executable programs, and the term "AVM" itself is not attested at all. Advice that the content of the "Bytecodes" section (by the way, again, nobody ever called M68k instructions byte-code before, and they most definitely are not) be merged into Motorola 680x0, as it may contain useful information about the M68k instruction set. LjL 19:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Follow-up: I've done the above (merging into Motorola 680x0), as well as putting some content into Amiga emulation as well. Please review my edits! LjL 19:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep If you don't personally like Amiga Virtual Machines then that is fine but that is no reason to damage wikipedia by removing a clearly written article. To Mr. LjL, your complaint is false as Macintosh Virtual Machines and PC Virtual Machines are already listed in various other parts of the wikipedia such as Comparison_of_virtual_machines. Perhaps you feel that Java inc. owns the term "Virtual Machine". It does not. Furthermore the term "Virtual Machine" is synonymous with "Emulator". The trouble is that people who type in the phrase "Emulator" are usually looking for games, while people who type in "Virtual Machine" are typically searching for some type of serious application to perform work. Thus 2 different articles are needed, each with its own clear focus. Also if you were to discriminate against PC, Mac, Amiga virtual machines and delete them then you would also have to delete Java Virtual Machine. It sounds like your complaint is an attempt to give Java a Wikipedia monopoly. There are many types of virtual machines in the world today and they are ALL worthy of wikipedia articles.--StoneGiant 07:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with StoneGiant that Sun does not own the concept of Virtual Machine. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for rich corporations.

  • Keep I think the discussion here is getting a little out of hand. Keep the the article for now. The discussion about where to merge it, or what content should be here vs. elsewhere, should take place on the article talk page, and should NOT have the time limit that an AfD discussion has. Mangojuicetalk 22:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or possibly redirect to Amiga emulation. Emulation of the Amiga is already covered in Amiga emulation and various articles such as Unix Amiga Emulator. It's redundant to have two articles, so they should be merged, or this one deleted. I agree than "Amiga emulation" should be the primary name - this phrase is far more common that "Amiga virtual machine". Furthermore the article confuses Amiga emulation with Amiga Anywhere, which is an entirely different thing - this should be moved out into its own article. I realise that the article states they are different - but it's confusing to cover them together like this. If we want to cover both articles, then the article should be converted into a proper disambiguation page. This should also be deleted as a non-notable or unreferenced term - only 1 non-wikipedia Google hit [16], and that says "Too bad there isn't an Amiga Virtual Machine"! Mdwh 00:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep There are 5 nonwikipedia Yahoo hits for "Amiga Virtual Machine" [17] and I see no factual errors in the article. In fact it seems clear from reading this discussion that the article should be enormously expanded.--70.110.80.15 07:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment It's debateable how many hits should be considered "enough", but 5 is absurd. Even hundreds is generally considered non-notable (e.g., I get over 1,000 on just an online name I use which is unique to me). Also note, of those 5, none are relevant to this article: 1 actually appears to mean a Java virtual machine, 2 talk about a hypothetical Amiga virtual machine for the A\BOX, which was never released, and 2 are actually duplicate hits, I've no idea what the mention of Amiga virtual machine is about, the phrase just appears in some RSS feed.

  • Yes, circulation figures are important for a magazine, and every good magazine should include them. But I can't grasp why their absence is somehow a criterion for deletion or suggests vanity for some reason. 3 seconds on Google shows that these are by no means anyone's xeroxed-at-school fanzine... "Fast Company" in quotes brings 6.6 million Google hits. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, you know how it is, trailing through the edit history of a vanity spammer and vandal, you can get overwhelmed by skepticism. I spent far longer than 3 seclonds downloading and reading their media packs and other data looking for evidence from them which would establish their notability, it never occurred to em that they might consider themselves so well known that they didn't need to announce circulation, only the number of subscribers to their web forum. Call me evil. Just zis Guy you know? 21:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, per everything Starblind says. May, I humbly, with no criticism implied, suggest a Google search on "Inc. Magazine" circulation before the next similar nomination? That gives 663,000 in 1999, 670,000 in 2001, and the last link also answers the Fast Company circulation question, with 600,000 in 2001. AnonEMouse 17:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fast Company magazine

Stub article on a magazine whose media pack gives no clue as to circulation. It says how many subscribers the web forum has, but not how many people read the magazine. If the claim that Fucked Company took its name as a parody of this can e verified that might just ab out constitute a claim to notability, otherwise I can't see any claim here.

Non-notable lawfirm. Shows no notability. Computerjoe's talk 17:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Not notable. DarthVader 22:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • No question that this is linkspam; Google news search on "Stock Fraser Cukier" results in zero hits. The only possible claim to notability that I could find (which wasn't in the article) is that they have acted as an agent for the House of Lords in an international law dispute. Note, however, that hundreds (if not thousands) of other law firms could make the same claim. I'm not sure whether WP:CORP applies to lawfirms; if it does, they appear fail it.

[edit] Deek hoi

Either a hoax, or a fictional backstory for a band. The details all appear to be made up; "deek hoi" as a source of music appears to exist, but the only listings I can find are a myspace page (similarly nonsensical) and what appear to be a listings for a handful of local gigs. In other words, the article as it stands fails WP:V quite spectacularly, and I can find nothing to suggest that a serious article on the real "deek hoi" would meet the WP:MUSIC notability guidelines. — Haeleth Talk 17:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Every song off Michael Jackson's Thriller doesn't have an article, and that's sold over 27 million copies in the U.S. alone. Just being on an acclaimed album does not necessarily make the song notable. And I singled this one out because I happened to stumble upon it while doing link repair, so I nominated it from there. Metros232 19:25, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - the proposed guidelines state that a song may deserve an article if there is enough information for it to be spun off from a very long album article. Led Zeppelin I is fairly long so the question is whether or not the information here justifies a separate page or could be expanded appropriately. I'm undecided on that.

In case anyone wanted to know, the guy from the pictures on the website was featured in a segment of a History International program called "Children of Abraham", he was just some Brooklyn Jewish guy that converted after meeting some guy in an internet chat room.

  • Keep - let me say firstly that I think this test is a load of bull*&%*. It has no scientific value, and no other value other than to propagate the insanity of some Japanese guy. Nevertheless, it's encyclopedic because it's notable. Keep. - Richardcavell 00:22, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment – As the original creator of the article I would simply point out that the article as originally created, however imperfect, would seem to meet Wiki criteria. So far as I can determine the alterations/additions which prompted the nomination for deletion were made by a proponent, and that their insupportability speaks for itself. I'm a comparative newcomer to this process, so please pardon any infelicities on my part. Fucyfre

This article clearly stands up to Wikipedia criteria. There is no original/new research: the article refers to and points to in the external links already published research. The research mentioned is also by reputable sources - they are medical doctors, scientist etc all with the standard doctoral or medical doctor qualifications. The idea expressed here that the information or that the Test itself is unscientific is flatly incorrect. The research and methodology of the BDORT satisfies accepted scientific method: observation, hypothesis, induction/deduction, etc. The claim of "pseudoscience" itself needs to be examined. Are any of the commentators here scientifically trained to Ph.D level? especially regarding electromagnetism? The BDORT deals with electromagnetic phenomena. This is a neglected paradigm in orthodox western medicine, but not among all doctors, which is a key point. See for example the many presentations by US doctors, scientists etc at Google: Whole Person Healing Summit. In other words, to say that it has no scientific value etc, is an opinion, that is, it is non-neutral. Are the commentators here seriously claiming to be able to refute the many published research papers of around 50 recognized scientists/doctors around the world?! On what basis is this credible? It is of course not. This is an absurd idea. The original author of this page obviously, as with some of the other contributors to the page, does not 'like' the BDORT. But that is not sufficient. You cannot call it names because of that. They are giving their opinion throughout their text - which is not Wikipedia practice. Their comments are therefore very biased indeed. When I simply added further information, as for example in the case of the NZ doctor, rather than deleting the existing text, my additions - which were extra information about the subject - were deleted. This outrightly violates Wikipedia policy. This needs to be 100% clear. What is being objected to, on analysis, is that I am presenting information that does not cohere with the bias of the contributors. On that insufficient basis, the different Wikipedia criteria are being sited, but erroneously as I have explained. Phrases like "and that their insupportability speaks for itself" sounds impressive, but are not substantiated in any way given. Regarding my non-neutrality, I am of course an advocate of the BDORT. But I have aimed in my last big rewrite to only include information, facts, figures etc. If people wish to improve on the neutrality of the information I have written, then please do, but please also note, that that does not equate to deleting information - which is the basis of what an encyclopedia is for. ---- RichardMalter

Comment - could we get some more opinions here please? So far there's one keep vote (from me) and that's the lot, since the nominator is now neutral. The talk page for the entry is now expanding. With respect to Richard Malter, the size of this is becoming unmanageable. - Richardcavell 06:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of islands by population

The list in the page is a direct copyvio of the url in the "External Links" section. In addition to being a copyvio, the page it is copied from is an unreliable source - being some random persons collection of data hosted on a free web page provider. The idea of an article of most populated islands is a good one that some editor should take on. We should delete this irrecoverable bad article so someone can do that.

There is no list of islands by population that I can find at the UN site, but the creation of such a list from the UN data would be great. All the more reason to delete this article so a new version can be written without the bad data in the history. SchmuckyTheCat 23:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. Potentially useful article but marked as a copyvio. Capitalistroadster 02:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and revise. This article cannot be a copyvio. Under U.S. law (which governs wikipedia), you can't copyright mere lists of facts. See [20]: jdb ❋ (talk) 05:52, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

In the Copyright Act of 1976, Congress included in the definition of “compilation” the first express statutory link between compilations and original works of authorship “...that are selected, coordinated, or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes a work of authorship.” (8) Cases under the 1976 Act were divided about the continuing viability of the sweat of the brow doctrine. Some circuits continued to apply it, (9) while other circuits rejected it, requiring a showing of sufficient creativity in order to entitle a compilation to copyright protection. (10) The Supreme Court resolved the split in the circuits in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Tel. Serv. Co. (11) In that case, the Supreme Court held that the white pages of a telephone directory (containing an alphabetical listing of all residents with telephone service in a defined geographic area) was insufficiently creative to merit copyright protection. The Court held that the requirement of creativity was not merely statutory, but rooted in the Copyright Clause itself. (12) Thus, the sweat of the brow doctrine was laid to rest.
What remains is a thin layer of copyright protection for qualifying databases. In order to qualify, they must exhibit some modicum of creativity in the selection, arrangement, or coordination of the data. The protection is thin in that only the creative elements (selection, arrangement, or coordination of data) are protected by copyright. Explanatory materials such as introductions or footnotes to databases may also be copyrightable. But in no case is the data itself (as distinguished from its selection, coordination or arrangement) copyrightable.

  • Is there an appropriate article to merge this to? I don't know if we have any articles specifically about Internet pharmacies, although I haven't found anything completely relevant. I think it's at least somewhat noteworthy that someone's trying to shut down sleazy Internet pharmacies, but I don't know if it deserves a separate article. Besides, it needs cleanup and the title is misleading anyway. --Elkman - (talk) 23:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Wow, where to begin? I thought from the title that this was going to be an article about a Mastercard issued by some entity called Phentermine Pharmacies. I didn't see any evidence in the DEA press release linked that the DEA is focusing "in particular" on stopping the online sale of phentermine; their press release ([21]) mentions only "amphetamines, anabolic steroids, and narcotics" (although for all I know phentermine may be one of those types of drugs; at any rate, it isn't specifically mentioned). Perhaps things are explained more clearly on the "Phentermine & Mastercard" page linked in this article; I didn't click on it because its being hosted on an IP with no domain looks awfully phishy. At any rate, this article is littered with external links, appears to be original research and/or crystal-ballism, is so difficult to understand that it could possibly be considered nonsense, is unencyclopedic in tone, and has a misleading title (incidentally, I can't help but wonder if the title was conceived with search engine spamming in mind). So, delete. ergot 15:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as vanity and advertcruft. Funnybunny (talk/QRVS) 22:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not entirely happy with the starting point of this AfD where vanity per se seems to be considered a basis for deletion. It is not. See Vanity: "vanity by itself is not a basis for deletion, but lack of importance." We should be considering whether this article is about a subject of sufficient note. From the list of shows and previous mention of google hits, it would seem the subject may well be. In this case we are deleting a subject because it's badly written. The whole point of a collaborative project is to work together to improve articles, and to communicate with other editors.Tyrenius 23:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Should be rewritten for NPOV but I don't think it deserves deletion. He is obviously a noted and popular figure in Brazil. The lack of article here means that it probably should be on the Portuguese WP (where he also has an account), but now that it's here I think it could be made into a good article. Aguerriero (talk) 23:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't know whether Araripe is notable or not; this isn't my area of expertise. I only noticed that this user had been spamming other pages when I was doing some category cleanup, and then poked around to see if he had other edits that needed to be reverted. Certainly the content of this article as it stands now is unacceptable, and there is nothing to revert to. I've also noticed in the past that proposing a problematic article for deletion is the surest way to bring it to the attention of someone who cares enough to fix it instead. ;-) Dr.frog 01:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Obviously it doesn't seem POV if you hold that POV. :-) If it is kept, I would strongly suggest it be moved to a name that doesn't include the word "misused". Things like List of English words with disputed usage and Disputed English grammar are more neutral (although to be honest I don't even like them). --Ptcamn 11:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Hmm. I was going to add "To eat humble pie" (which means, to make do with what one has, rather than to become humble) and "To coin a phrase" (which means, to invent a new phrase, rather than to cite an existing phrase), but you know what? Wikipedia is not the Strunk and White manual. So, delete. ergot 15:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Pokémon by type

Wholly redundant with Category:Pokémon species by type. This list doesn't have much context, and cannot have much context.

    • Huh? How so? Dr Zak 23:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Can't you see? On the Lise of Pokémon by Species, or whatever, you have to kepp on clicking and clicking, which is annoying on dial up. On the other page, everything is gathered into one, AND, if someone is looking for a specific Pokémon, you could just press Crtl+F and type in the word. See how much easier the other page (by type) is than by Species? For practically everyone? Master Mew 23:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
        • If someone is looking for the types of a specific Pokémon, that person can go to the Pokémon's page. If someone is looking for all of the Pokémon of a certain type, that person can go to the appropriate category page. Neither arrangement allows for simple crossreferencing of dual-types. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anal Cunt

  • Strong Keep this is an encyclopedia site which should make available all correct and historical information on all subject matter (in this case a band called anal cunt) regardless of how any one person feels about the subject at hand.. i don.t particularly even like the band (though i am fond of the genre of music which they were historically a part of).. allow the censorship of any one piece of historical information and you might as well also support (and expect) any and all censorship (hiding/alteration/subjective control) of any and all information..

Delete Fails to meet WP:BAND and is not notable. Dominick (TALK) 23:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep Anal cunt is very notable, not necessarily because they are popular, and I am not, but people know of them. Remember that wikipedia is not censored, and a bands name should be no reason to delete it.
  • Strong Delete - I take the liberty of ignoring all rules here. Any band that wants to call itself 'Anal Cunt' ought not to be surprised if people want to delete references to them. They can be got rid of. - Richardcavell 00:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Moderately notable band - certainly more so than many with articles on WP. If I've heard of them on the other side of the planet (and I am not a grindcore fan, and certainly not a fan of Anal Cunt's music) then that's saying something. Simply having an offensive name is not in itself a valid reason for deletion. Grutness...wha? 00:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. They're real and they are notable per WP:BAND- that is all. "Anal Cunt" = 675,000 hits. My biology may be a bit rusty, but even so I suspect the vast majority of those are in fact likely to pertain to the band. Badgerpatrol 00:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete The article doesn't really asert any notability, aside from the fact that the band attempts to be offensive. I actually have heard of them, but I think I've only heard of them because of their name. -- Kicking222 01:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm not into grindcore, but I have heard of them. Multiple albums for sale on amazon, an allmusic.com bio[23], tours, albums released on Earache Records, Scott Hull in the band, news coverage as per the external links, etc. would seem to meet WP:BAND. Шизомби 02:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep I don't like AC at all, but they meet the guidelines set in WP:BAND without question and have a small, strong following. Danny Lilithborne 02:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Nine albums (according to allmusic; the article claims fifteen), more than half a million Google hits, press coverage--clearly meets WP:MUSIC. ergot 16:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I don't see where it meets WP:MUSIC there is nothing about Google hits in the standard of listing. When going down the list, I see marginal qualificiations, if you consider the label notable, I don't see any notable bands listed in the label's roster. The best fit could be, Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture. I dont see any frequent publications, only a few mentions. BTW, I don't hunt down offensive bands to AfD, how dare you claim I do. This seemed like yet another vanity listing. Dominick (TALK) 17:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Huh? When did I claim that? I have no reason to think that you do that, and wouldn't have mentioned it even if I did. ergot 18:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Hey sorry if I was ambiguous when I made my post but I was refering to "Richardcavell" and "Conrad Devonshire", whose comments make me beleive they only care about enforcing the rules when they agree with them. 203.206.161.209 11:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - The band are on the Earache Records label which clearly meets the criteria for being a notable independent; it was formed nearly 20 years ago and has a large roster of acts - 16 of their acts have been considered notable enough to have their own existing Wiki articles, which answers that point. They have also been a regular international touring act. Thus WP:MUSIC is met. I couldn't give a flying one about this mob, believe me, but the facts are the facts. Ac@osr 18:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • My last Comment Earache records qualifies as a notable label because the minor acts/bands they carry have wikipedia entries? Seriously, none are really notable on their own. It seems there isn't enough to eliminate minor acts like this. Perhaps the WP:MUSIC standard isn't notable either. I guess I better go make wikipedia entries on Mario and his all monkey harmonica band Dominick (TALK) 00:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
        • Further comment - if you disagreeing with WP:MUSIC in itself, I'm sure there's a process but this isn't it. Ac@osr 07:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment: If you think labels such as Earache or Nuclear Blast eg are not notable, you're opting to exclude entire subcultures from, including death metal and grindcore. You may never have heard of them, but some of these bands have record sales (in total worldwide) in the 100.000s, play regularly on festivals that attract tens-of thousands of attendant (e.g. Wacken Open Air, Dynamo Open Air). Maybe you have miscomprehended what constitutes notabilty. Spearhead 21:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I would guess that the appropriate place would be the talk page for WP:MUSIC, but there might be another discussion going on somewhere. BTW, I would have probably supported deleting this if it weren't for the fact that they have nine verifiable albums. ergot 13:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Deleting this amounts to nothing more than censorship as the article is fairly well done. Censorship is bad...—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidvicted (talk • contribs)
  • Strong Keep They are definitely a notable band in the heavy metal, grindcore, and hardcore punk subcultures. As for their "offensive" name, Wikipedia has numerous articles with similar or worse-sounding titles so I do not see why this is getting singled out. --EBCouncil Speak with the Council 01:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: It's flat-out infuriating to me that this guy would claim that the bands on Earache aren't notable. If you don't think past/present acts on the label like At the Gates, Entombed, Deicide, etc... are notable you really have no business suggesting deletion here, and a quick glance at Dominick's user page suggests some ulterior motives at work in this delete-nomination —Preceding unsigned comment added by PublickStews (talk • contribs)

  • Strong Keep Anal Cunt are widely known even among non-followers of extreme music. Earache is a notable lable with many notable bands: Napalm Death, Entombed and At The Gates, in particular as genre instigators/definers with very large record sales, that tour or have toured across the world, including major festivals. Simply because you are ignorant of these bands influence and notability does not mean they are not notable. The purpose of an Encyclopaedia is to inform, so be informed. Easily meets the uneccessarily exclusionist WP. --KharBevNor 20:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was: Speedilly kept due to overwhelming consensus.


Keep: No proof exists either way and their are many problems with the traditional account of the moon landings and gaps in the information that is currently in the public domain. Beisides this it is still very much a phenomenom that exists in popular culture and therefore does not need to be "True" or "false". The entry may need some sort of disclaimer but that is as far as it should go - DO NOT DELETE

  • Your first sentence is patently false. I like better what one user added at the bottom of the page: "Well known belief held by several people." That is true. Wahkeenah 14:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apollo moon landing hoax accusations

The Wikipedia:Deletion policy mandates that "Text that does not conform to all four policies is not allowed in the main namespace", the first of those four policies being the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, which includes the mandate that NPOV does not mean giving equal validity to pseudoscience. There could be an interesting and relevant article on the belief among some that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax; but in practice, this article has been tended by editors who matter-of-factly refer to the Moon landings as "the hoax" and who clearly give equal validity to the idea that they are a hoax, as if this idea were equally valid as the evidence that the Apollo missions landed on the Moon. These pro-hoax editors have zealously reverted edits that try to replace hoax-as-equally-valid wording with neutral wording, such as by reverting to references to the "landing believer community" and "landing advocates", as if these were equally valid alternatives to their opposites according to the mainstream consensus. It is simply not NPOV for a purported encyclopedia to use such loaded, pro-hoax terminology, that would never be referred to by anyone who does not buy into the "moon landing hoax" idea. Since they are unwilling to avoid reverting repeatedly to blatant violations of NPOV, particularly by presenting fringe views as equally valid, this article has persisted in qualifying as "Text that does not conform to all four policies" and that therefore "is not allowed in the main namespace". Let them userfy it if they want, or relent to contributions by NPOV editors, but otherwise Wikipedia will be far better off once its policy of removing NPOV material from the main namespace is carried out with respect to this article. - Reaverdrop 00:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Definitely Keep this is a totally legitimate page. NASA have officially answered questions on this topic, so if NASA can take this topic seriously, Wikipedia should also.
    • I think most of the answers have come from what might be called "NASA defenders". I don't think NASA themselves are nearly as interested in this topic as the moonbats like to fantasize that they are. Of course, when someone gets in someone's face and assaults them, like they did with Aldrin, they get smacked, and rightly so. Wahkeenah 16:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

    • Excuse me? How exactly does a desire for a fair and equitable society translate into skepticism about moon landings? Ewlyahoocom 20:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
      • AHA! Finally something resembling a "delete", almost breaking the string. Yes, the idea that we did not go to the moon is pure garbagio, but it's a topic of some public interest. If there can be a page for Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster or the Flat Earth, there can be a page for this silly idea also. Wahkeenah 21:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep within the Van Allen belt around Wikipedia. Whether the state of the article is in question, the topic is plenty notable. ScottW 00:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply - It is a notable and worthy topic - but in practice it is kept in persistent violation of NPOV to the point of making Wikipedia’s credibility a joke. I’d rather have a decent article on this, but deleting it would be better than disparaging all of Wikipedia by failing to adhere to the Wikipedia policy that "text that does not conform to [NPOV] is not allowed in the main namespace". - Reaverdrop 00:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Wikipedia has credibility? Wow, what a concept. I think this article used to have the "controversial" or "disputed" header - maybe it still does - and I would think that would suffice. Wahkeenah 00:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • I'd remind you that there is text on the Roman gods (after whom the planets are named), who are no longer widely believed in and are widely believed to have been a hoax/made up. There's also text on all manner of stupid ideas (alternative medicine comes to my mind). - Richardcavell 00:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • A lot of editors have spent a lot of time working on making this article a neutral and well sourced document of who believes what. This is a bad faith nomination that flies in the face of all that effort. For great justice. 00:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Reply - I haven't been involved in the editing of this article, so my comment is based soley on the notability of the topic. From a quick glance at the talk page, there appears to be a fair amount of conflict here. And I suspect that this is one of many topics which will always have conflict. However, I don't think the answer here is to delete the article. If it were to be deleted, it would be recreated and the same conflicts would exist. There has to be another way to deal with this. ScottW 00:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
      • More to the point, there's a writeup on the Flat Earth. Admittedly, it's not quite so controversial. Our public school system is not a total failure. Wahkeenah 01:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep If there are POV problems, that's a pity, but absolutely no justification for deletion. Scranchuse 02:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I think a strength of Wikipedia is the highly controversial and contended over articles that no one is ever happy with, but which give a fair minded reader a pretty good sense of the arguments on both sides. I worked on the Apollo project during the summers of 1966 and 1967 and know how ludicrous the hoax notion is. But I was impressed with this article as it stands right now. It's far better to vent these kinds of theories than to let their supporters claim they are being suppressed. Another precedent is Holocaust denial. --agr 04:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Aha! A member of the vast NASA coverup that's more impregnable than the Mafia was. Awesome. So, how does it feel to be called a liar by the moonbats, and to be further told you should be OK with that and not pop somebody in the mouth when they get in your face, like Aldrin did (or should have)? Wahkeenah 04:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
        • I'll say this again: Of course it is a noteworthy topic. But there's a huge difference between explaining about belief in Roman gods or alternative medicine or Holocaust denial, and writing about any of these things in a way that gives equal validity to whether or not they are true. I've tried several times to make modest modifications to tone down the pro-hoax bias in this article, and each one was simply swiftly reverted by pro-hoax editors. I think the controversial and contended over articles are great too - but not controversial articles that don't incorporate any contending because single-POV squatters revert anything outside their own single fringe take on it. I think this article deserves to be here, but only if it is edited by the community at large who can make it NPOV, instead of pro-hoax hobbyists camping out on it and reverting any non-pro-hoax edits over and over. In other words, only if Wikipedia's policy on avoiding NPOV violation by giving equal validity to fringe beliefs is actually practiced and is not just empty words. If we can't effectively make that happen then we'd be much better off with no article. - Reaverdrop 04:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, It's so pro hoax - the opening paragraph - "The Apollo moon landing hoax accusations are a series of claims alleging that the Apollo Moon Landings never took place, but were instead faked by NASA. Nearly all interested scientists, technicians and space enthusiasts have rejected the claim as baseless." People could come away thinking that equal validity is given! For great justice. 04:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Any reference to "landing believer community" or "landing advocates" frames the issue as if hoax advocates were on equal footing and by itself violates Wikipedia's policy against giving equal validity to fringe beliefs. No one would use those choices of wording other than hoax believers, and no one would read them without assuming the writer gives at least equal credence to the hoax idea. - Reaverdrop 05:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Please keep article content disputes to the talk page of the article. This page is about the idea that if you don't get your way the article should be deleted. For great justice. 05:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
You brought up the content. I replied in kind. This page is about whether Wikipedia's policies against giving equal validity to fringe beliefs and that "Text that does not conform to all four policies [including this one] is not allowed in the main namespace" as stated in its deletion policy are adhered to in practice or are just aspirations that no one cares to enforce. - Reaverdrop 05:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • It could be said that choosing truth over fantasy is a point of view. The fact that Moonbats are here actually gives us credibility because it shows that we can't do straw man arguments. It shows that the arguments we are refuting really are the best that the hoax proponents can come up with. Algr 04:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Wikipedia requires verifiability, not that the information be truthful. There are plenty of references to the conspiracy theories about the lunar landings (regardless of how far fetched they are) to warrant an article in Wikipedia. DanielZimmerman 07:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep. I suspect this is a bad-faith nomination. The only way to control pseudo-science is to disprove it. If Wikipedia is to be NPOV, it MUST have articles disproving major pieces of pseudo-science. --M@rēino 14:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Some people do geniunely believe this, and since it is a topic that has got a lot of attention over the years and is linked to the landings it should be kept, not deleted because someone doesn't believe it (incidentally I don't believe this article but it should still be kept). Ben W Bell 14:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. The Apollo hoaxes are an important cultural element, and all accusations are disproven in a desirable way. Nick Mks 19:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep With doubts. I have looked into the hoax theory, and I am convinced that the moon landings never took place. I am also convinced that the thruth will come to the mainline media some day, and Wikipedia should have an article about it until that day. But the hoax article in the Wikipedia is really telling anyone interested that the Apollo program was for real. I mean the opening sentences, the pictures, text under pictures, the longvinded "rebuttals". This article is not showing the hoax claim in a clear and fair way. That is why I am having doubts with "keep". The Apollo believers makes this page an Apollo propaganda page. (Axlalta 19:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC))
    • The moonbats' seemingly simple questions do sometimes require "longvinded" explanations. I have also looked into the hoax story (it's not a "theory") and found it severely wanting. But apparently it will remain an open question, at least for a few folks, until somebody decides there's a reason to go back to the moon. Wahkeenah
  • Keep: While NPOV does not mean putting fantasy and reality on an equal footing, the article is perfectly legitimate because it's a real, encyclopedia-worthy pop culture phenomenon. Unfortunately, because the article is about false accusations, it's difficult to keep it objective, but that's a separate issue from deletion. Peter Grey 22:08, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, 6 days to go, then. It will be status quo unless someone stuffs the ballot box with sockpuppets. Wahkeenah 00:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Speedily. This article needs editing and serious slimming down, but the moon hoax is very well known (as the links tesify) and the article is very well referenced. This nomination is clearly in bad faith. --DreamsReign 23:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't think this is an example of bad faith. There is a legitimate question of how to cover fringe group theories without appearing to give them additional credence. AfD is just not the right mechanism if the fringe group is notable. Editors sometimes get too involved (I know I have) and forget that Wikipedia is a group process with a pretty good record of self correction. --agr 09:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

as for self promotion - it isnt - the three bands i put in there are all legit notable groups from this genre each with a major national or international following, each with radio eaiplay - they are the lab animals, vhs or beta and unkle.

wiki cant delete articles because one person believes a genre doesnt exist - it would leave wiki uncomplete and out of touch with moden culture which it seems many of the people voting for deletion say -

i submit you must prove that this genre doesnt exist and thereby disprove rolling stones and nme's articles on the subject.

wiki cant afford to let personal taste or selfishness dictate its knowledge base or risk becoming outdated and insignificant.


the page is still uncompleted any deletion before it i finished would do wiki users a disservice and will apply deletion erroniousy

  • Delete - The term post-goth is a neologism. It is not commonly used, and the Google hits on "post goth" don't refer to the subject matter in the article.--Adrift* 12:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


you dint look hard enough on google - i will include the articles when i get permission from the publishers to include their intellectual properties,

wikipedia should be ahead of the curve, not behind it, and now that we have finished the discussion on band advertisements those arguments should be dropped. thanx

  • Comment - None of the bands listed sound even remotely Goth, in fact, they're all fairly stylistically different from one another. VHS or Beta is Indie or at best modern Post-Punk. The Lab Animals put it nicely on their myspace page... they're Down-Tempo. The Glass Project is also Down-Tempo or possibly dancey Synth-Pop with a dash of Future-pop. Unkle77 floats between Avante-Garde Hip-hop and Illbient. The only relation that is obvious is that "Moth" or Dimitri Spanoa is creator of the Glass Project, and The Lab Animals, however there's confusion about this since there are contradicting stories from both this page and the probably nonnotable WP:VAIN article for Dimitri Spanoa. Neologism aside, it's all pretty good music!--Adrift* 03:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


  • Delete - I agree with the points the other editors have brought up. There are no citations to back any of the claims made in this article; VHS OR BETA defines themselves as Experimental/Rock/House on their MySpace page; post-goth is not listed on allmusic.com as a subgnere nor are there any notable websites devoted to "post-goth" bands or the "post-goth" subculture. Any references I can find for "post-goth" via a google search are contradictory and confusing, the label seems to be applied in a haphazard manner to any band the writer the writer can think of (the Vanishing, the Cure, My Chemical Romance, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, Devo, etc.), and most of the "post goth" google hits are referring to something other than a music subgenre (which is significantly inflating the number of google hits). Until it can be clearly demonstrated that "post-goth" is an already existing music subgenre (one which is not being artifically manufactured), then the article should be deleted.

  • Delete - Shameless self-promotion.--MALCOMXBLISS 06:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per FilmGal and Adrift. Also, any non-original-research on this page is already covered (more exhaustively) at Goth.
  • Comment even with the current alterations to the article, it's still not convincing. It still borrows heavily from the Goth article, the term "post-goth" in this instance is still non-notable, and I haven't heard Glow, but The Vanishing are a Deathrock/Post-Punk band. The label they ascribe to themselves is in itself a tongue in cheek neologism.--Adrift* 21:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There really doesn't seem to be enough usage and acceptance of the term out there to prove that this is an actual genre. Also, I checked out the bands, and they really don't have any connection..other than possibly being referred to as "post-goth" somewhere, or having some sort of "dark" imagery. In order for a genre to exist, there should be some sort of underlying similarity in the sound of a number of bands. I don't see it here. Also, despite being well-read and rather knowledgeable on the goth genre and other genres that predated and followed goth, I have NEVER come across "post-goth" being a genre in the 80's. "Positive punk", yes, "post-punk", yes, but not "post-goth". As of yet it's not a current genre, sub-genre, or subculture. Therefore, it has no place in wikipedia. CatZilla 20:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
