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

The result was Delete - relisting was due to the recent addition of the web sources on which only one persona had commented at the time. Now it is clear there is consensus that even those sources are not enough.--Konst.ableTalk 01:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buttoned down disco

Unnotable clubnight held in London. It may have been running for several years but isn't revolutionary in any way, nor is it any more famous than a lot of other London nights. Seems to be an advert set up by the promoter perhaps? Karinski 13:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete just another club night. The entire article is OR and I can't see it ever being properly verified. The closest thing to mainstream media coverage I could find by Google was this. Hardly the basis for an article other than confirming that it exists. -- IslaySolomon | talk 16:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Edit I entered this article as I felt Buttoned Down Disco was an notable concept in London clubbing, since I do not know of any other invite only, travelling nightclubs (?) However, I do not want it to end up looking like an advert. Perhaps you could help me edit it? The copy is from the site's history page. Also, if you need to see mainstream press, there is a press page. I feel the whole area of Nightclubs could be improved though, I've started a discussion on that here. Ignore the Buttoned Down Disco reference, it was only there as an illustration. Also please feel free to comment on the other pages I added/edited; Infinity Club, The Libertines & Clinton. I'm happy to help with the Nightclub category if needed. RachelTurner 22:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Edit Hey Rachel, sorry i'm not meaning to sound like a bitch here but aren't you the promoters girlfriend? I think if someone unbiased were to put an entry in then fine, but as it is it's a little dodgy. I agree perhaps nightlife should be bigger, but it should only be clubs that have made a real, lasting contribution. If you check the Pacha page you'll see that it's smaller than the Buttoned Down Disco page! User:Halliwell92
  • Edit Hi Halliwell, Yes, I am and sorry, I really don't want this entry to be dodgy! I was just really surprised the nightclub area wasn't bigger and better structured. I tried to follow the layout for an article, incidentally, there doesn't seem to be an infobox template for clubnights, and it is weird how the other articles are so short(?) I'm totally happy for this particular entry to edited down/deleted if everyone argees. However, I think there still needs to be a distinction between venues and clubnights. As Buttoned Down Disco is not comparable to Pacha, it would be more comparable to Escape from Samsara. I'm totally happy to help with the structuring of this category if needed (regardless of whether this entry is deleted or not!) RachelTurner 12:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Actually on further investigation, this could be a 'keep' according to WP:MUSIC, since Buttoned Down Disco has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...). i.e. TimeOut, The Times, Metro, Evening Standard and The Guardian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RachelTurner (talk • contribs) 21:11, 2006 October 19
    • Would appreciate references. Thanks. —Encephalon 08:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. WP:V, WP:RS. —Encephalon 08:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • References
  • Keep I think that the guardian, standard and time out are pretty reliable sources. Agree that the text needs to be cut and toned down to take out the ad-speak, but this is a unique clubnight with an interesting history, too (see http://www.deadmansboots.co.uk - this story also appeared in time out a while back) Hopsyturvy 09:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Before voting to keep, one might reasonably expect the references to be cited in the article, not just shown here.Edison 14:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Per Edison's comment; references should be verified and incorporated into the article, along with the tone worked out. Afterwards, if it still seems non-notable, it should be brought back here. - CobaltBlueTony 16:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete no significant review or write-up; just the kind of clubbing chat/info you could find on any club night. Nothing to suggest exception or even notability. And article feels and reads as ad-promo-spam. Marcus22 19:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No claim of encyclopedic notability. Likely spam/marketing abuse of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a nightlife guide, and simply citing event previews/reviews from nightlife guides in Time Out, Evening Standard, Guardian etc. are not acceptable sources for proving encyclopedic notability. The background story for the club (yes I looked through the deadmanboots site or whatever its called) doesn't seem to be extraordinary especially as London is a major nightlife capital. I can find multiple published reviews for the little totally ordinary restaurant around the corner, but this doesn't make it encyclopedically notable. Bwithh 00:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Looks totally useless. Also I deleted almost all of the precedent article, it was silly POV stuff Attilios 00:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Redirect to The Biggest Loser (Australia) where it's already mentioned. The subject is non-notable, will not be remembered in a hundred years, and lacks third-party verifiable sources besides ones that say that he won the contest. Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 00:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concern troll

The result of this debate was delete. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 11:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

This is a bit on the fence, but I think it falls on the "delete" side. What we have here is a neologism that has sprung up on blogs and does not seem to have made an impact on the mainstream. All of the references cited in the article that actually speak of a "concern troll" are blog posts. The major newspapers linked in the "examples" section verify the incidents, but do not describe them with the term "concern troll." I also disagree with the merge tag, as we should not include the information until we have more reliable sources (also, the behavior does not seem totally consistent with "trolling" as defined in Internet troll, the suggested target of the merge). Andrew Levine 00:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge, maybe to the examples of Internet Trolls--†hε þяínce öf ɒhaямa Talk to Me 00:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • delete While the cited events have occured, I dont see anything indicating that this term is used outside of this article. wtfunkymonkey 00:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)*
  • Delete. Term lacks wider provenance, and seem prety much covered by the term "troll". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete until verified.-- danntm T C 02:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge as suggested at the top of the article. I'd say a straight delete would be fine. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I appreciate your concern, but you'll always stink and burn. Danny Lilithborne 03:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep A slimmed Google search turns up 10k+ hits[11], which strikes me as something that isn't a recently made-up term. EVula 04:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Google hits for internet-specific terms are always far out of proportion to their actual use. Recently-made-up terms relating to the internet can rack up five, even six figures in their gross Google hits in a very short time. Andrew Levine 04:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment I realize, which is why it was a weak keep. 10k just strikes me as much more than a fad word would have. This is just my personal opinion. EVula 14:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • If some non-blog or forum references can be found and cited (such as newspapers or tech magazines), and the article rewritten to display verifiable information taken from these third-party sources, then I would support a rewrite and keep. However, in its current form, the article is nothing more than a neologistic (made up term) dictdef (definition of the term) with a list of "examples" where the contributor(s) believe that the neologism applies. If you cannot verify through the use of external, third party sources, delete. -- saberwyn 04:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with internet troll for now, and I think it may be worth a mention at Daily Kos. There certainly isn't enough material for a good article now, although a few pro-blogs could potentially work as (supplementary) citations of use: James Wolcott, Brendan Nyhan being the strongest, but neither one really offers a good definition either. Even a search of DK indicates usage in the single digits as recently as Spring 2006. --Dhartung | Talk 05:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge - merge into internet troll per nom. --andrewI20Talk 06:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Internet troll, and hopefully make less US-centric - I don't think the whole world is familiar with how US politics work. JIP | Talk 06:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Internet troll as above. --tgheretford (talk) 07:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment to all Merges: Even merged information needs to be reliably sourced. Andrew Levine 12:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The "concern troll" is much more like an astroturfer than typical disruptive Internet troll, so this material is mis-placed in that article. "Concern troll" (coined over at DailyKos, I've heard it said) is getting a lot of play from Internet sites seeing exactly this kind of behavior. I started this article, so obviously I thought it was needed. The sources for the two incidents cited, however, are dead-tree newspapers that meet Wikipedia's standard for encyclopedia quality. betsythedevine 13:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I just found what may be the term's first published usage via Google News. It's a letter to the editor whose author uses Wikipedia's definition to explain what it means. So this article has already performed a public service during its brief existence, please let's keep and improve it. betsythedevine 13:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Delete(On further examination, it is covered adequately in Internet troll). False expressions of concern and support accompanying a disastrous suggestion have a long standing in politics. Edison 14:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Are you recommending the page be moved to False expressions of concern and support, then? Because the concern expressed isn't that the practice isn't real, but rather that the term itself ("concern troll") isn't used by mainstream folks, just your everyday Internet folks. For what it's worth, I'm still neutral on this one. GassyGuy 15:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Betsythedevine's finding. Also, Troll (Internet) is 48KB long, and is ripe for a few spinouts as it is, so a merge may be counterproductive. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Merge or Delete Not significant enough for own article but might be okay as a merge, but there doesn't seem to be much to reliably support widespread use of this term. If reliable sources cannot be found - then delete. Bwithh 23:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Internet troll --Steve 00:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I did find this article interesting and there seems to be a little too much subject-specific information here to be merged into Internet troll. --Marriedtofilm 03:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Internet troll -- Encyclopaedia Editing Dude 15:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Merge into Internet troll. The term is in frequent use, not only on Daily Kos. Auto movil 16:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete article created for trolling purposes? Neologism. Anomo 09:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Jeez-- WP:FAITH My interest in this topic originates from a talk I gave at Wikimania 2006 that discussed the misuse of Wikipedia (and similar publicly edited sites) by paid advocates who disguise their identities and motivation. I agree that "concern troll" is a new word, one with more than a million Google results this morning--but the word describes something that really happens and that people have a word to describe. I started this article because I thought that by doing so I'd make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. But I'm willing to abide what looks like the consensus here that, until the term breaks out of blog cruft and into mainstream media, it could usefully be a re-direct to one of the examples for Internet troll. betsythedevine 15:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - per betsythedevine and merging to internet troll would add significant content to an already too long article. --Trödel 15:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The nominator is probably right that this does not fit well in internet troll, althoough it is, and should be, mentioned there. Septentrionalis 03:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jadeja royal family tree

This article is a family tree of a family with questionable notability. It is a contested prod, and the user who removed the prod template wrote in the edit summary: "deprod structured list of notable people". It is unreferenced, has never been properly wikified and has contained very little context since it was created (it currently has none whatsoever). Khatru2 00:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, Questioned notablity, questioned article, no sources, non-attractive, and in all honesty it is just a list of names of people whom most of us don't know about, However if we can have some strong external links and referances and a cleaner article Keep but for now Delete.--†hε þяínce öf ɒhaямa Talk to Me 02:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — The only relevant hit I find goes back to Wikipedia... -- lucasbfr talk 02:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete A1, A3, A7, or WP:SNOW. No context, very little content, and the family tree (kinda) of a barely notable clan of india. --Daniel Olsen 03:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • You want to speedy delete this family tree of a non-notable clan which merely "ruled as kings and princes, dominating much of Kathiawar and Kutch in the present-day Indian state of Gujarat for several centuries" before anyone has a chance to dig out the context from the edit history, or the reference for the current version? Kappa 04:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unverified, questionable notability, and borders on patent nonsense and indiscriminate collection of information. 129.98.212.67 03:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The last entry, 168, Jam Raval, was the founder in 1540 of the princely state of Nawanagar, and is mentioned in that article, and is confirmed on a number of web sites, including numismatic. #147 the Ninth Century Jam Lakhaji (Lakho Ghuraro) and his son #148, Jam Unnadji, are discussed, for example, in the history of Kutch at [12]. The liniage is certainly notable. There are notable people along it. It does need work and explication. It would be nice to have proper references, the author indicated that his source was Kutch deshno itihash by Aatmaram Keshavji Dwivedi. Printed from "Nirnay sagar" Mumbai Samvat 1932; shake 1798. With my limited library and not speaking Hindi, I haven't been able to verify its existance. But the book The coinage of Kutch by Richard K Bright (1975), may provide additional verification. I have requested it on interlibrary loan. Bejnar 04:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete First of all, and I may be wrong about this, but Wikipedia is not supposed to be any sort of genealogical guide. Second of all, the 'tree' isn't really a tree, doesn't even seem to show marriage and the like. Third of all, none of the names offer links to articles or any context whatsoever. The 'article,' if you can call it that, isn't the least bit wikified. No explanation of relevance, no sources. --The Way 05:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment Point One. This article is not a genealogical guide. It is primarily a list of rulers, although it does have a genealogical component just as does the list of the rulers of the United Kingdom. Bejnar 18:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment Point Two. This is not a tree, despite the label. One needs to look at what it is, not what one thinks the label suggests it to be. This article needs work and constructive criticism. But its notability should be above challange.
Comment Point Three. This clearly needs work. However, when The Waywrote his comment the article did state its relevance at the beginning, as per Kappa above. That edit was at 04:36, 25 October 2006. Yes the article is not properly linked. It does need work as does most of the history of Kutch. That is not a reason to delete, it is a reason to pitch in and help. !Bejnar 18:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Maybe it needs to separate fact from fiction? It says the family was descended from Brahma. T REXspeak 10:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment There are at least a couple of ways to look at you comment. We should delete all fiction from the Wikipedia, or legendary ancestors require deletion, or as an anti-religious statement that decent from the creator, Brahma, must be fiction? Regardless, as argument for deletion, it would require deletion of the Japanese imperial family who are decended from the sun god. Rationally the need to separate fact from fiction is not a reason to delete entire articles. It may be a reason to work as an editor on an article. Bejnar 20:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment I meant it should probably be said that mythology says that they are descended from Brahma. The way it looks now is as if it is absolute fact. Legendary ancestors do not require deletion if they are verified as being legendary but if they are passed as legendary then that is confusing to the reader. Even so I doubt that Brahma is considered part of the Jadeja royal family in the same way as Queen Victoria is not considered part of many royal families in Europe except for the British royal family. They both had descendants in many royal families. T REXspeak 20:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment In addition to what Bejnar said, #169 Hardholji appears to have become the first king of Dhrol in around the same era. So this may make some sense if someone with knowledge of the subject bothered to seperate fact and fiction and create a proper article out of this. Tintin (talk) 10:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have moved this article to List of members of the Jadeja royal family to better reflect that it is a list and not a tree. I've also cleaned it up a bit. Some others here have apparently found some sources and additional information about these people, which should be added to the article. I'd say keep an list about a royal family in a part of the world that many Wikipedia editors know little about. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 16:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per ONUnicorn. Per WP:BIAS, Gujarati royals are as worthy of note as British royals. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Please do point me to a few articles about British royals which are as terrible as this article. Tintin (talk) 19:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment - It's somewhat easier to research British royals than Gujarati royals, especially for English speakers with internet access. This is one source of systemic bias. It isn't surprising that our English royal articles are better. Still, the subject is notable, the content verifiable, and this text, even if it is poor now, contains some information, and may be helpful to someone who wants to improve it. Not worthy of deletion IMO.- Smerdis of Tlön 20:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment I'm reconsidering my support for deletion... however, there are still significant problems with the article. First of all, it's just a list of names and the little blurb doesn't supply anywhere near enough context. The names certainly ALL need to be accompanied by the years in which that person rules. Also, any names which have articles of their own should link to that person's page. More context, years of leadership and article links... if it had these I'd support keeping it, especially because of Wikipedia's drive to rid itself of systemic bias. --The Way 18:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless it improves drastically. A list of a few names is no encyclopaedia article. Tintin (talk) 19:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment can anyone verify this list? Are there any sources saying that Brahma (god) and Atri are members of this family? Ones in English would be most helpful, unless someone could translate them. T REXspeak 20:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep I had a another look back and at one point the list was much better: [13] If you don't like the content why aren't people asking for it to be improved? As far as having an article the Gujarati they seem to have their own language Gujarati_language & literature, I think there is potentially a good article here and when the author is clearly struggling we should be spending more time helping and less time trying to delete it! --Mike 12:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Merge I knew there was something odd about this call for delete - I've tracked it back. The article is a link from Jadeja and in the earlier form as [14] it would make a very good addition to that article. I can see no debate there to suggest it was ousted from that page so why are we debating this? --Mike 12:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I actually have a book that compares Jesus/Buddha statements side-by-side not more than three feet from where I'm sitting... EVula 03:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Total Re-write I'm surprised how low the standards being applied are. First, it has tons of WP:OR, a comment above notwithstanding, and regularly violates WP:NPOV. Who decided, to take an early example, that "cognitive" and "theistic" are antonyms? The article is an extended argument in support of the theory that Christianity derives from Buddhism -- and as with all such arguments, it displays an incredible lack of critical judgement -- Antioch was founded by a king of a line that had diplomatic relations with an Indian king, therefore Buddhism influenced Christianity? Nazarene comes from Nazir? -- and a total disregard for chronology whenever it suits the argument.
Where do we get the source for Jerome saying Buddha (rather than Jesus) was born from the side of a virgin? I seriously doubt any reliable source can be found for this. Have a closer look at the "parallel sayings" table -- first, some of them have little or no similarity and were apparently added just to bulk up the list, second, we are given no information about whether the Buddhist saying are recorded in Theravada or Mahayana sutras, which is necessary information in that Mahayana Buddhism is several hundred years younger than Chistianity. At least one has Buddha and Jesus actually saying opposite things. The article generally plays fast and loose with the account of Jesus. In one place it says Jesus told all his disciples to give up all material possessions, a common misunderstanding of what He told the rich young ruler. But encyclopedias exist in part to correct misunderstandings, not spread them.
FA? Please. A.J.A. 04:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment I voted to keep. Much is not OR and presents long standing comparative religion scholarship, but some of the statements are undocumented OR, such as you cited. But the libraries of theological schools are full of dusty tomes which could and should be cited vis a vis such questions. Unsupported claims should be fact tagged and then deleted. The WP principle is to edit boldly and footnote everything to reliable and verifiable sources, which does not necessarily favor online sources rather than published work.Edison 15:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, it's not just some original research -- what is or could be cited is generally presented misleadingly. A genuine comparison would be interesting and encyclopedic, and have virtually nothing in common with the article that exists now. A.J.A. 04:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • speedy kept- I am one of the contributers to this article and Administrators take note that this is an abuse of the deletion processWP:DP
    WP:DEL
    WP:DELETE

Abuse of deletion process [[16]]

The deletion processes all focus on whether an article meets the criteria for existence on Wikipedia;

1)that is, they are to determine whether it is not original research -- There is no original research, all the work is researched with quotes from major scholars and works, links and references are fully listed.

2)its central information is verifiableand it is capable of achieving a neutral point of view with good editorship.... -- all sayings and quotes are verifiable, all historical information is verifiable

3)XfD (deletion) processes are not a way to complain or remove material that is personally disliked, whose perspective is against ones beliefs, or which is not yet presented neutrally. Using XfD as a "protest strategy" in an editorial or NPOV debate is generally an abuse of process and the article will usually be speedy kept.

I would like to add that this article is a part of Wikipedian categories of religious comparisons

Wikipedia Category:Religious comparison [[17]] and is perfectly in line with this category.

I would like to thank all the wikipedians who support the keeping of this article. Thank you!--216.254.121.169 13:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • KeepThe similarity of the teachings of Buddha and Jesus has long been noted by scholars. Comparison of religions has a long scholarly history, so the article has a lot of scholarship to draw on. The subject is notable and encyclopedic.That said, the scholarship can be improved. Footnote 5 is very vague as to what it refers to. Footnote 1 is to a website which appears to be a book, but no ISBN is furnished and it is not footnoted as a scholarly book. It is important in documenting 1st century Christianity in Palestine, a subject with few primary sources. The same info is cited to writings by Hypolytus, but clicking the link leads to a disambiguation page, and checking the various pages does not produce backup for the claim made re Terebinthus. This is only skimming the surface of need for improvement. Editors, get busy and make all references to only verifiable and reliable scholarly sources. (Edited to add: I added ISBN info for ref 1, but tthe form could still use a tweak. Please check other books cited and provide full publication info)Edison 15:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harold H. Thompson

Not notable prisoner and robber with <200 unique google hits. I see no purpose for this article other than to promote his webpage and attract attention to his plight. The page also "borrows' heavily from his webpage, and so is either vanity, copyvio, or of questionable verafiability.Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 01:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Rewrite, or Delete without prejudice(i.e. a better article on the subject might be acceptable). '"Harold Thompson" prisoner' gets 1440 ghits, almost all relevant, and he seems to have some notability among various anarchist and activist sites, so an article on this guy is borderline acceptable, IMO. However, the text of the current article is cribbed wholesale from his website. Copyvio is probably not a problem (these are anarchists!) but verifiability is, so pretty much the whole article would have to be scrapped and rebuilt from better sources... --Aim Here 01:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eden Chapel

Non-notable church. A Google search finds an article on the history of the church, but reveals nothing of significance that occured there, or anyone particularly noteable who preached/attended. It's an old church, but that's about all I can find that's unique. Consequentially 01:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Verifiable, and probably a reasonably significant place in its parent community so should probably be covered there. Per WP:LOCAL, it seems to make sense to merge with Cambridge. JYolkowski // talk 02:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete No true assertion of notability. If it wasn't for this AfD, I'd have no idea it was an old church, as it doesn't even mention its age. EVula 03:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing proving any notability. Furthermore, what little information is present (it's a stub) talks is a short biographical account of the churches preacher and the names of its staff members. The age, as EVula mentioned, is not to be found in the article. --The Way 05:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as above: no assertion of notability, no other evidence of notability thrown up in discussion. It's also a very badly-written article: there is nothing that says directly whether it's in Cambridge, England or Cambridge, Massachussets and the only clue is that it refers to the Grafton Centre, which I seem to recall is a shopping mall in the middle of the city of Cambridge in England. But even with a tidyup, I can't see any reason to believe that it can ever make a legit claim to notability. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Eusebeus 13:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Without prejudice. If it is an ancient and notable church, maybe one of the scholars who are familiar with it will take the time to write up well referenced claims to notability. There's just not a keepable article there yet.Edison 16:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

    • Vote changed per GRBerry's argument below. Bpmullins 17:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • comment According to the history linked to above, this chapel was opened in 1825 - in the UK, most people wouldn't consider this a particularly ancient building. Many of the churches where I live are getting on for 1000 years old! -Ladybirdintheuk 12:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Of course that's true, but mere age isn't crucial to notability. You'll certainly not find a thousand-year old Baptist congregation anywhere! They appear to trace their roots back to just after the Restoration - fairly significant in the context of Baptism. Bpmullins 15:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete this version The article makes no claim of notability. It looks like we might want an encyclopedic article about the church because of its history, but this is not that article, nor even a help to writing it. The links in this AFD are more of a help, but there is a shaky transition in the second paragraph about John Stittle that I'm not convinced would stand up to a real researcher. So delete this, with no prejudice against a future article about the church that is sourced as described in WP:INDY and WP:FORGET. GRBerry 17:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep it but fix it: Eden is notable for at least a few reasons. 1) Its history, I believe, goes back to the early Particular Baptists in England. 2) It is one of the two or three most popular places of worship amongst students at the University. 3)It was for many years pastored by Roy Clements who became known as one of the premier Evangelical leaders in the UK. There was quite a stir when he came out (or was outed)as a homosexual and resigned his post. 4) Mark Dever, a well known Evangelical /Baptist leader in the US was associate pastor there for a few years.

If those statements can be sourced and attributed, I'd happily change my mind about the deletion. But as it stands now, there's no reference to any of those things in the article. Consequentially 06:40, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I hope to write a new article for this entry in the next few days, highlighting more of the history of this church as well as it's important place in contemporary British evangelicalism. (Note: I am not the writer of the current article)

[edit] Shotgun reporting

This term appears to violate WP:NEO and WP:NOR. I originally nominated this for a prod back on Aug 29 because the only usage of this phrase in relation to spam that showed up on Google was this wikipedia. The prod was contested with a claim that this term was used mostly in blogs. On Aug 30, suddenly five mentions of this phrase appeared on various blogs via google[19], all from "different" people. Since then, there have been zero *new* usages of this phrase. Of the five usages, all of the usages appear to be somewhat contrived and several are of the form "Is this a case of shotgun reporting?" where others answered "no". None of these five usages of the phrase actually define what it means, let alone give a definition that matches what is in the article. Wrs1864 01:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List_of_software_development_kits

What is the point of having this page? There's no realistic way to list every single SDK in existence, nor is there any point to doing so. How do you lay it out? By license? By company? By domain? How big must something be to qualify for the list (ie can my pet graphics engine be arbitrarily added to the list)? Even if all of those questions were satisfactorily answered, there would be no advantage to having such a page -- at the very least, it would be prohibitively large. As described in What Wikipedia Is Not, "excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia." I don't see any redeeming value to simply listing all the SDKs. The ones that are worth talking about (for example, the Open Dynamics Engine) can be given their own pages, and SDKs can be a category instead. Promit 02:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael R. Mennenga, Evo Terra

"Award-winning" "podcaster, writer, and businesman" -- except the two books he's authored are put out by vanity presses, the award isn't specified, the article on the podcast survived a vaguely decided "no consensus" AFD, and the article on the company he takes credit for co-founding WAS nuked at an AFD. A couple of hundred Google hits for "Michael R. Mennenga" -- with the second from the top being this article, always a bad sign. Also add his co-podcaster, Evo Terra.

  • Delete Vanity piece. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimbo68 (talk • contribs) 11:34, October 25, 2006
  • Keep this guys are actually very notable as podcasters go - they run one of the larger podcasting 'families' (Farpoint media), they've won the people's choice award, as Joelrees pointed out, they recently ran the podcasting track at Dragon*Con, and their own podcasts are heavily subscribed. I'm pretty sure Slice of Sci Fi and Wingin' it are both in the podcast pickle hall of fame, but I can't check right now because the site appears to be down. -- Vary | Talk 15:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment and note that the 'no consensus' afd on Slice of Sci Fi was nearly a year ago, and both of the delete votes appear to have been because the editors thought podcasting was too new to be in Wikipedia. If these articles had been started then, deleting them may have been appropriate, but they've gained a lot of notability in the past year. And yes, I'm a fan, but I think I've supported my position well enough for that to be overlooked. -- Vary | Talk 15:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep one I've edited these before (nominating their Farpoint podcast company for AFD & using prod on other linked articles). The sources for Terra include co-authorship of a (non-vanity) book and media coverage of the "podiobook" startup - so I don't see the point in deleting him. But I don't see any sources for Mennenga's own notability that would meet WP:V. Even though that might be a generic problem for podcasting guys, it's the current policy. Mereda 10:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I grow continually more and more dissapointed with the militant hatred that Wikipedia has for podcasting. I agreed with the vote sometime back to scrap the article for Farpoint Media as company itself is not as notable as the podcasters and podcasts produced under its auspices. However, Michael and Evo are well known persons to a large audience, especially Michael. He is either the host or engineer for a number of podcasts and, as was noted, engineered the podcast track for this year's DragonCon. I don't see anything in the article that isn't verifiable. The article could stand some expanding, but Mennenga is well known to enough people to warrant his inclusion here. As I look at User:Uncle G/On notability, he notes that artists who have a top 10 song and authors who have a widely read book are automatically notable enough for inclusion, even if there aren't many independent articles about them. I would argue that podcasters like Michael and Evo who have a large listening audience to their shows should be considered in that same vein.Ultimate ed 04:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Ghits are not the best way to measure the notability of someone who died in 1953. Could someone who reads Hebrew take a look at the article in the Hebrew Wikipedia to see if it would be worthwhile to add the information in the Hebrew article to the English article? A bibliography listed under "External links" says: "Hayim Greenberg was one of the leading Labor Zionist thinkers of his day. His writings on Marxism, Zionism, and Judaism, widely influenced and in part formed the political ideology of Labor Zionism in Europe and America." http://www.louisville.edu/a-s/english/subcultures/zionism/bibliography.html --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 03:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Uh, if he was deleted from the Hebrew wiki, how could be notable enough for the English one? I can't actually read the Hebrew page you get to, but the link is the same in the very first version of this article, meaning that, at one time, it was most likely a real article. The "what links here" page does show a link[23], but I can't tell if that backs up the claim that it existed or not... EVula 04:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Neutral I'm withdrawing my vote, as it appears that other editors have found good evidence, but I can't bring myself to vote "Keep" without checking the sources, which I don't have the time for right now.

  • Keep I examined some of the ghits that were out there because I agree with Truthbringer's point that the number of them for someone who died that long ago could be misleading. After sifting through a number of articles found and other references in the first 10 pages I've concluded that he seems to be rather notableand meets the WP:BIO guidelines. The article certainly needs expanding and this is not an area of particular interest for me, though I may consider doing it if it seems like the article will be deleted otherwise. --The Way 05:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep He appears to be notable. He appears in American National Biography Edited by John A. Garraty and Mark C. Carnes. New York: Oxford University Press, 1999, vol. 9, pp. 517-518; and in Obituaries on File Compiled by Felice Levy. New York: Facts on File, 1979. Marie Syrkin wrote a book about him entitled Hayim Greenberg published in 1977 by the Youth and Education Department, Jewish National Fund, New York City. The Information Dept., Dept. for Education and Culture in the Diaspora published a book in 1954 In memoriam Hayim Greenberg 76 pages. The article definitely needs expanding.

[edit] Angel the Cat

Appears to be fan-fiction passed off as a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. I have absolutely no knowledge of Sonic beyond the morphogen so I defer to more expert editors. Samir धर्म 03:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete — The page's author has been tagged for blatant vandalism, as have the only ones to disagree that this is fan-fiction passed off character in the Sonic the Hedgehog. It seems to be one user using sock puppets ( User:Fostermother4u User:Liki3422 and User:67.181.116.68 ).

[edit] Tracked vehicle

Delete. This article is just a dictionary definition which contains no references or explanation of notability. I don't believe this article could be expanded. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by House Centipede (talk • contribs)

  • Keep, and Expand I have to disagree with the nominator; I know absolutely nothing about vehicles, but a quick google search shows that this is a valid and large category of vehicles. It seems valid and notable enough, could be expanded by some mechanical discussion of how they differ from regular vehicles. Discussion of fuel types, advantages and disadvantages and so on. --The Way 05:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and Expand Certainly this could become a useful and fact-filled article if a few editors paid some attention to it. It's not like there aren't any tracked vehicles, or a lack of tracked vehicles in history. Ever heard of tanks? How about bulldozers or snowcats? And that's just off of the top of my head.

[edit] Crash Bandicoot Energon

Contested ProD. Non-notable fan game. Fails WP:SOFT. Fancruft. Made up in school one day. 3 ghits [30]. -- IslaySolomon | talk 03:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete-Fan-made games aren't worthy of an article.--SUIT42 03:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep-Fan Made games are just as much games as officially published ones. Besides, it is made fully clear that the game exists, and was not made up in school one day.

  • It's not an official game, though.--SUIT42 04:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
There are situations where fan-made games can be notable, such as Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX. Considering the number of fan-made games in existence, however, the notable ones certainly are the exception. Maybe Category:Fanmade computer game remakes and sequels could use some cleaning. --Maxamegalon2000 04:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Why exactly does that matter at all? Official or not, it's still a playable, existing game. Jumpbutton 04:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • See, that is exactly my problem. That is the opinion of some people, but not all people. What is "notable" to others is not to another set of people. How this is possibly fair to all articles is beyond me, but seeing as this is going to be deleted anyways, I won't bother fighting for it. Jumpbutton 05:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horus Temple

Self-promotion, possible conflict of interest Justin Eiler 03:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Additional Comment The article reads like a press release, providing little more than a shill for rhe temple and information (regarding the history of the Horus Temple) that is largely redundant to other articles. It should also be noted that the company is a for profit company, according to their website: this seems to be a violation of WP:SPAM Justin Eiler 03:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • [Google Test] turns up only 156 hits, and many seem to have nothing to do with this article. I question notability. --Kathryn NicDhàna 06:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Harvest the references for articles on the Golden Dawn and delete:
    • This is an ad, and a violation of WP:SPAM.
    • There is little in here that isn't already covered in the articles on the Golden Dawn.
    • This is wildly POV with little hope of cleanup that doesn't remove what little non-redundant content there is.
    • No assertion of notability.
  • Nuke it from orbit; it's the only way to be sure. Alba 13:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. -999 (Talk) 14:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - violates the spam policy: the article promotes Horus Temple ev; also written in poor format (e.g. all headings written in capitals). --Anthonycfc (talk • c • ama) Wednesday, 25/Oct/2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep after cleanup. Yes, parts of this do read like advertising. On the other hand, it does seem to offer references to verify its claims. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots played a fairly pivotal role in occultism in the English speaking world, and the apparently successful transplant of a variant on this important tradition in New Zealand strikes me as fairly noteworthy. - Smerdis of Tlön 17:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Definite Change to stub I looked at the web site, there has been one seminar for four days, their Yahoo newsgroup had only two postings last month (which may not reflect membership). The article fails to tell me anything I want to know about the group and everything I don't. Wipe the contents, leave a message saying "you've got to prove this is a worthwhile article" and delete in a few weeks if it does not improve! It needs to say where, when, why, what it is related to, etc. --Mike 11:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - I'm voting again because I'm in two minds - the lack of any proof of membership or notoriety probably makes it impossible to create any article under the name --Mike 11:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Only way to be sure. --Kathryn NicDhàna 05:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or follow Mike's first advice. I respect Smedis' opinion but I believe we should keep two issues separate: I agree we should keep the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn article but this here is an entirely different matter. It is inherently promotional, borderline incoherent and as Mike put it gives all the information we don't want. Also, as far as I can tell from the wildly obfuscated narrative the temple was founded fairly recently and three out of those five references probably predate it. One of the remaining two is co-authored by Pat Zalewki so it's got to be discounted as unreliable. All in all, I'd say the references are of very very dubious quality and I consider most of the current content unverified and possibly unverifiable. Pascal.Tesson 01:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jesse_Ball

This entry reads as though it were likely written by the author himself. There are no citations for any of the information in the entry, the biggest reference I can find (Richard Howard) appears to be his former professor at grad school (hardly an unbiased/objective opinion), he's only been nominally published (two books do not a successful writer make), most of his bibliography contains books that have never been published or even released, and most of the entry reads as though it were a PR package for Ball. My opinion is that the writer maintains this page himself (it even contains information about his current roommate!), he's not particularly well-known among literary circles (I can't find any readings he has done in the last few years or any connection to a literary scene not connected to his former professor Richard Howard -- for instance, Howard used to be the editor at The Paris Review, where several of Ball's poems have been published), and it simply doesn't have enough authors working on it to be a pertinent Wikipedia entry.

  • Delete Vanity page James68 11:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment you might like to consider the information which is in this article too. No vote yet from me, but I'm inclined to think he ain't notable - yet. NPOV articles, and is so personal that I doubt if much of the info can be verified. The review posted seems a bit local. The photo on the page was put up by someone who said it was "given to me by Jesse Ball himself requesting that it be put on his webpage". Ohconfucius 02:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I wrote a large portion of this wikipedia page. I am a friend and fan of Mr. Ball's. I believe that the comments made in this deletion discussion are valid and I spent a large amount of time today fixing up the page as per the suggestions made here. I removed the personal information, provided more details as to Mr. Ball's international publications, added citations, added external references and a list of readings/performances. I believe the website is now a factual account of Mr. Ball's career. He is a young highly successful poet. As was mentioned on the March Book deletion page, you cannot expect the Google Test to be a good measure of the notability of a poet. Poetry is a small field but that does not mean it is not worthy of coverage by the Wikipedia and its community. Mr. Ball has been published in the United States by Grove and Vintage; and internationally by Nyhil and Feltrinelli. He has been reviewed by the Boston review and Publishers weekly. Furthermore, Mr. Ball's work was selected for Best American Poetry, 2006. It is clear that he is an important young poet and novelist. Ethan L. Schreiber 21:44, 29 October 2006 (EDT)
  • Comment I also want to note that someone asked to delete this page in the past as well and there was a community discussion on its worthiness. You can see here that people overwelmingly voted to keep the page then. Doesn't Wikipedia have any rules about double jeopardy? :) Ethan L. Schreiber 22:18, 29 October 2006 (EDT)

The fact that it is no longer sold and not well known does not take away from it's interest, value or encyclopedic worth.

Non-notable conspiracy theorist. The page makes several claims to notability, but I can't say I really buy any of them. Most prominent is her website www.sherryshriner.com, but it only has an Alexa ranking of 685,865. She had a radio program on Reality Radio Network, but it has no Wikipedia article and their website doesn't exactly impress me -- as far as I can tell it's just some Internet radio station of no great significance. Lastly, she has two books published, but they were published by vanity press iUniverse and have amazon.com SalesRanks of 943,181 and 374,270. Aside from these "notability claims" there is simply biographical information and a summary of her theories. -Elmer Clark 04:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shart

The article was apparently previously AfDed, but the prior AfD appears to be for a totally different context. This current article is about a Bollywood film with no assertion of notability. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 05:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Currently NeutralKeep May be non-notable and certainly is a stub, but I did a search and it looks like it very well could be a well-known Bollywood, at least in India (which, keep in mind, has a population 3 times that of the US). Given Wikipedia's drive to remove systemic bias it's important not to delete foreign movies and such too hastily. If anyone knows more about Bollywood movies they should comment. --The Way 06:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep 1969 movie. The IMDB is [31]. The lead actor and actress are accomplished Bollywood stars. There were two other movies with the same title Shart (1953) and Shart (1986). Bejnar 06:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Positively minded because it is Bollywood after all, a bit dubious because I do not know how known this film is in India. It did not google too well, but that does not mean much, because of the different alphabet. There seem to be a lot of these films called "Shart". "Shart: the Challenge" (2004) seems better known than the 1969 one. Disambiguation page? --Pan Gerwazy 17:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Bollywood is a high output genre, and even given the concern about removing systemic biases, most Bollywood films should be considered to be non-notable given that high output. --Nlu (talk) 17:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I would accept another reasoning for deletion, but not because "Bollywood is a high output genre", given the terms of WP:NOTFILM. The notability criteria of film does not talk about output of the industry it's involved in; it only cares about whether "The film has been theatrically released nationwide in a country, or into 200 or more commercial theaters." If this film has, then it passes. If not, it fails. ColourBurst 18:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Research shows this is a common term. The user Nlu has been very quick to delete several articles, and has harrassed authors of such pages. .... added at 19:27, 25 October 2006 by 69.138.37.99
    • If you have a beef with the person who nominated the article for AfD, this isn't the place to air it. -- Hoary 06:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nominated, in no way prejudicing the fate of a future article on the same movie in which one or more editors bother to say something substantive and verifiable about the movie, let alone the fate of an article with the same title that's about a different subject. -- Hoary 06:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Bollywood movie. Since it's notable, it should stay. Here's a review, for instance. --A. B. 06:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. This article was started (or at least the film version of it) was started by Commander Keane -- I've left him a courtesy message about the AfD. --A. B. 06:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I put some more links demonstrating notability on the article's talk page. If you don't like the word "Shart", the bad news is that there are two movies with that name and probably now two articles needed. --A. B. 06:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Just hope there's not a sequel or a series... --A. B. 06:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - That review (which pans it, BTW ... "a weak fare in all respects") is about an entirely different film ... Shart: The Challenge (2004). —141.156.240.102 (talk|contribs) 03:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment (negative) - IMDb lists 4 Bollywood films named "Shart"[32] from 1954, 1969, 1986, and 2004 ... except for the 2004 film, each has received less than 10 votes, BTW, which certainly begs the question of "notability" ... OTOH, given the size of India, it was probably "theatrically released nationwide in a country, or into 200 or more commercial theaters." If this article is retained, then it should list the other three films as well, like a disambiguation page. (Please, do not create three new pages!) See the article's discussion page for the list with IMDb links. —141.156.240.102 (talk|contribs) 08:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC) —updated 03:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment In regards to the above comment; the IMDB is an English website largely focuses on English films; foreign films tend to get far less attention on it and it is not a valid way of gauging how important a particular foreign film is. Especially given how old the film is, it's not surprising that the film only got a few votes on IMDB; this has no indication as to the notability of the film. Given the size of India, with a population of a billion, it's highly likely that this film meets Wikipedia's standards. Furthermore, given, as I noted above, Wikipedia's desire to counter systemic bias I think we should act in good faith and keep the article, though it certainly could be expanded. --The Way 18:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Bollywood flicks. Fight Amero-centricness, or something. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • How many Bollywood flicks do you think should have Wikipedia articles? --Nlu (talk) 19:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
      • How many? As many as are notable in India, another English-speaking nation with many Wikipedia readers. If that means 100 or 1000, so be it. There's always more room for notable articles. A film that's notable in India is as deserving of an article as a film notable in the U.S. --A. B. 04:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
        • That presupposes that it's notable in India, which hasn't been shown. --Nlu (talk) 04:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
        • So far, it has not been established that this film is notable in India or anywhere else ... there are four movies with this name, and we don't even know what "shart" means in English. Look at the Filmography sections in articles for Bollywood actors (like Sanjay Khan or Mumtaz), and the links go to definitions of Hindi, Sanskrit, or Urdu words ... not articles on the films. Articles for award winning films like Khilona and Ghulam establish their notability, but ones like Baaghi and Gardish should be deleted per WP:NOTFILM. There are currently 536 Bollywood films in Category:Indian film stubs, and most of them have a lot more information about them than just "a 1969 film by <redlink> starring <unknown-outside-of-India>". —141.156.240.102 (talk|contribs) 05:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Environmentality

Contested prod, which was removed by an IP on roughly the same day that the article would've been deleted - no reason given for the removal. This appears to be a neologism which hasn't caught on, basically. Luke's article exists, but a JSTOR search for the term gives very little else other than his article using it, which suggests very strongly that the broader academic community didn't pick up the slack after 1995 when the article was published. The word is used a bit, according to a Google for it, but these are either demonstrably in different contexts or in contexts which appear to be at odds with this one BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rachel Roy

New York fashion designer. This article has been tagged with notability and speedy tags throughout its existence, so I think it's time to get community consensus on this. I'm withholding judgment for now, pending new resources (other than than the ubiquitous Fashionweekdaily links). trialsanderrors 07:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. There are 555 unique Google hits (that's a lot) of pretty good quality. She seems to be a known designer. Pages like this one confirm the impression that she is known / talked about by others, which is all we need. - CrazyRussian talk/email 07:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Uh, that's a blog. Google News has 24 listings, mostly about people wearing her outfit. This one is somewhat about her (and 3 other designers). ~ trialsanderrors 08:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Right. I am not suggesting it's the New York Times. But it is evidence that people know/care who she is, which suggests she is notable in her field. There aren't a lot of Realiable Sources about deisgners of this kind, so we have to do with what we've got. - CrazyRussian talk/email 08:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - An apparent (if passing) Vogue mention is good enough for me. Crystallina 11:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Disputable borderline notability as a fashion designer (too early to tell much more once you cut through the PR-buzz efforts.... I'm not sure what a 2006 Bollywood fashion award for "Outstanding Contribution to American Fashion"[33] (for a designer who launched her first collection in 2005 and has dressed a British girl band of questionable notability[34])actually means? I don't see what her clothes have to do with Bollywood either, in style or association, apart from the very weak connection that she's half-Indian in ethnicity (and Bollywood doesn't represent all of India anyway). Is the Vogue editor meeting Roy just for her own sake, or partly or mainly due to Roy's husband?) but add in her borderline notability as socialite/wife of notable guy, and I guess there's enough for a weak keep. Article needs rewrite/editing to purge the PR copy though. If others come up with reasonable delete arguments, I'm probably an easy pushover to the other side.Bwithh 14:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Has a reasoonable profile on Google News Archive including an article from 2004 titled "Rachel Roy's on a roll" from Women's Wear Daily.

  • Painful Keep. Clearly a vanity article, and disingenuous in classic PR fashion. (The Vogue editor is mentioned only as "one of the few invited" to the "intimate showing," which strongly suggests that she never went to it, and that almost no one else showed up either. Note that there is no mention in Vogue, brief or otherwise.) Plus, the sources are breathless fashion publications reprinting press releases.

[edit] Alice Patten

Notability seems to stem from being the daughter of Chris Patten. Roles in minor TV series and theatre do not convince me. Bollywood role seems to have been a minor part. Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - the Bollywood role seems to be relatively important in terms of the plot of a film which seems to have done well, although I don't know quite what qualifies as a "box office success" in Bollywood terms. Certainly if that's not the case, and the film is insignificant or her role is smaller than I think, she's not notable. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - Alice Patten deserves an article as the role in the movie Rang De Basanti is very important. The movie happens to be the official entry for Academy Awards 2007 from India, so it is an important movie.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Stong Keep I say keep her in wikipedia. Far less well-known actresses are in wiki, so why not someone who had such a key role in one of India's most important films of recent years? It's not alll about the who's who with tight abs out in American and the UK — 202.78.234.102 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

[edit] Arcane magic (Dungeons & Dragons)

WP:NOT Instruction manuals shadzar|Talk|contribs 10:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Just because the d20 System Reference Document 3.5 says much of it can be reprinted or whatever in its license, doesn't mean Wikipedia should have the entire SRD in detail. I have only marked this one for deletion, but as I learn how and find more I will also marked them. Every last detail of the game is not required on Wikipedia. shadzar|Talk|contribs 10:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NOT as cited by Shadzar. As much of an old school gamer as I am, I don't think it is necessary or desireable to reprint this level of gameplay detail in Wikipedia even if it can be reprinted per the license. I don't know if the originator is still active here anymore, but maybe someone should let him/her know about the D&D Wikia because I think they would welcome this sort of contribution there since most of the SRD articles are redlinked.--Isotope23 16:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It appears that there is a license to print it, and I think that while this level of detail might not be desired, this is not a reason to delete the article. Editing it down is sufficient. (Unless, of course, the license indicates that the text, while can be reprinted, cannot be altered; in that case I'd change my opinion to delete.) --Nlu (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, to be clear, I'm not talking about the level of detail that the article goes into per Arcane Magic in the D&D world, I mean actually having an article about the concept of Arcane Magic is in and of itself too much detail in the context of D&D in my opinion, same as it would be to have an article about Divine Magic, Bard songs, etc. If consensus is that this doesn't violate WP:NOT then I would say the article should stand as it is. Better to have a comprehensive article if you are going to cover a topic.--Isotope23 17:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Given RJHall's pointing out that OGL and GFDL are incompatible, changing to delete. --Nlu (talk) 04:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — The SRD license is specific in stating that publications of the material must also adopt the same license. (See section 10 of the open gaming license.) This is inapplicable to wikipedia, so SRD-like content is not appropriate here. — RJH (talk) 22:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral/Delete D&D includes hundreds of books and supplements and probably has been the topic of that many secondary sources in the 30 or so years of its existence. Despite the narrow focus, a well-sourced, project-appropriate article could be written on this topic. This, however, isn't it. This article is fundamentally unsourced and has critical copyvio problems due to the incompatibility of OGL with GFDL. I'm willing to do the legwork on this article, but if what is here gets deleted before I'm done, then so be it ... page history can always be restored by admin if necessary for GFDL compliance.

Comment. I don't bandy about the term bad faith lightly, but I am concerned that with his declared hostility towards the term, Tim may not be entirely objective about this. That the term Whoniverse is a well-used one is not really in dispute; whether or not it deserves a definition article I leave it to AFD, but the characterisation of the article as solely existing to foist the term is unfair and inaccurate. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 12:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't care whether the article is kept or not, but I'd like to point out the term is in very large usage which is growing rapidly, googling will show you that. Compare with Buffyverse and Wizarding world, there is much room for expansion about the nature of the fictional universe itself. For the sake of the debate, count this as weak keep. ~ZytheTalk to me! 14:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I share the opinion of Zythe regarding the usage of the term, but I am strongly in favour of keeping the article, as it is worthy of further development. Failing that, the redirect to Doctor Who should be restored.

Blech! "The fictional universe in which Doctor who and its spin-offs are set" or any other ridiculous rename option is a bit long, a bit like renaming Buffverse "The fictional universe in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Fray are set". The term exists, and is used more prevalently than any other term. ~ZytheTalk to me! 17:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, it's been pretty much universally used in Doctor Who fandom for at least a decade. It's so well used that I never had any doubt about using the term as a name for my own website, which is a reference guide to the whoniverse. If Whoniverse goes, then so should Buffyverse.--Bouncelot 08:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment This neighborhood is well known and deserving of coverage. Even so, it would strengthen the Chuo-ku article if we put the content there (until that article becomes big enough to split). That would place Nipponbashi in a broader context and get it more attention. But it's also acceptable to have a separate article on this neighborhood. Fg2 01:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. Hrm, I think you might be right there, Fg2. Redirect to Chuo-ku until it grows into its own notable article? Sounds like the best option. --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

There is much more information available at ja:日本橋 (東京都). --Kunzite 21:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

For example, there is a Nipponbashi train station, that you take to get to Den Den Town, but no Den Den Town station. MightyAtom 06:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

      • Comment WP:MOS for place names states the article title should be the most recognizable in English. But I'm not sure which is more used (I'm guessing Den Den Town is but I'm not sure.) ColourBurst 20:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment: Den Den Town is more common, but if you say Den Den Town you only mean one part of Nipponbashi... so Nipponbashi makes more sense. The train station in Den Den Town isn't even Nipponbashi Station, it's Ebisucho Station. Nipponbashi Station is quite a bit farther north at Sennichimae-dori and Ebisucho Station is most of the way to the Tsutenkaku. Either way, it has to be made clear that Nipponbashi is not just Den Den Town. By the way, Nipponbashi is also the site of the national bunraku puppet theater. Dekimasu 07:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bosniak nationalism

Started its life as Serbs' POV "Unitary Islamic Bosnia", kept as no consensus at previous AfD. Rare neutral commenters suggested "NPOVize and source", which has never happened; in the meantime, it oscillated between strong pro-Bosniak and anti-Bosniak POVs and no one touched it for a long time. This is not an article, this is a graffiti wall, and a shame for Balkans and Wikipedia. Yes, I know the subject is encyclopedic, verifiable and potentially interesting, but this is not an excuse for its existence in this form. I feel that only the re-AfD-ing (to be honest, I meant to delete it myself per WP:IAR but refrained) could turn community's attention to it. Duja 12:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. An appeal to the closing admin (I foresee a tough job): as a potentially heated debate may emerge, I suggest taking far more the reasoning than votecount into account. Personally, I consider keep and rewrite votes futile, unless someone puts up the sleeves and improves the article in the meantime. Thanks.

  • Delete as nominator. Duja 12:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete due to lack of encyclopedic content, WP:NOR, WP:RS. The article basically says there might have been some such thing as Bosniak nationalism, or maybe not, then goes on to list some vaguely related ethno-nationalistic grievances, allegations and slanders. Also, the sourcing is poor (I can't readily find a basis for any of the article's assertions in the sources provided), and the article's history indicates we mustn't expect an encyclopedic rewrite anytime soon. This is one waste of bytes. Sandstein 20:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - this is garbage. The topic could make into useful article once. Pavel Vozenilek 23:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't know, but the nationalism still remains and the article (in this form) does not deserve to stay. --MaNeMeBasat 07:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Degresslessness

Video game cruft - the game is certainly notable, but a cheat code is hardly worthy of its own entry. Also, only eight Google hits, so seems like possible original research. Dsreyn 13:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

A cheat code is easily verifiable -- either it's in the source or it isn't, so either it works or it doesn't. In my opinion, that means WP:NOR doesn't apply. However, there is no excuse for this to exist as a separate entry. Merge to Doom II and redirect if verified; delete if not. Alba 13:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment. It does seem strange thought that a cheat code for such a popular game doesn't have more web hits. Dsreyn 13:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green Week XVIII: All Growed Up

Ridiculously detailed and fairly breathless article about one Australian university's annual event -- not the event generally, ONE SPECIFIC YEAR's staging.

Full of encyclopedic detail such as [the team] had also intended to make a strong push for the scavenger hunt title, but their plans were skittled early on their Bairnsdale-Canberra trip, when they unfortunately hit a kangaroo and damaged their car near Sale, Victoria (no team members were injured). Comes complete with a sucession box for including the other 18 years, but thankfully the creator has only completed Green Week XIX: I Was Only 19 (also being nominated).

Was Prod tagged, but tags removed with the comment deleted Proposal for deletion as link to main Green Week article given at top of page.

[edit] Wild Passion (DJ Small & LV Club Mix)

Non-notable remixes of non-notable songs; fails WP:MUSIC. We don't need an article for every song ever written, much less the various remixes of those songs. This AfD also applies to the other songs from the album:

  1. Dance with the Wolves (Harem Disco Mix)
  2. Drum 'n' Dance (DJ Small & LV Club Mix)

Kafziel Talk 14:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete all Actually, it would be unfair to categorize all the songs themselves as non-notable ("Wild Dances" being one that screams notability) but remixes do not get separate articles. If any of these remixes is official/documentable/somehow important, it can be mentioned within the article for the song if that exists. GassyGuy 15:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additional proposal

    • For adds, I want to add these songs to the list too, as they barely got information in the article, or if there is any, this could be merged into the album the song appears on:
  1. "Ty (song)"
  2. "Balada pro princessu" --> merge video info to the album
  3. "Svitanok"
  4. "Ostannya Poema"
  5. "Kolyskova"
  6. "Myt' Vesny"
  7. "Prochannya z Disko"
  8. "Znaju Ja" --> merge video info to the album
  9. "Oj, Zagraimy, Muzychenku" --> merge into "Play, Musician"
  10. "Like a Hurricane (Ruslana song)"
  11. "Accordion Intro"
  12. "The Tango We Used to Dance"
  13. "Wild Dances Part 2"
  14. "Wild Passion"
  15. "Dobrij vechir"

-- Luigi-ish 17:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

You don't really need AfD for that. You can perform the appropriate merges yourself, and the ones that don't have anything to merge can just redirect to the album. GassyGuy 18:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Might be good to get consensus on them anyway; a lot of the songs Luigi-ish listed are on Template:Ruslana; removing them from the template without consensus is likely to cause a dispute there. Kafziel Talk 18:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree that getting consensus would be wise, but this is not the place to get consensus for merges. That's more of a talk page thing. GassyGuy 20:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's more of a Wikipedia:Proposed mergers thing, if he's going to get any kind of neutral feedback. I'd still vote delete for all of the ones he added (with the possible exception of that Accordion Intro since it claims to be her signature song). Kafziel Talk 20:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well no, delete the "Accordion Intro" too, it certainly is not her signature song. her signature song would be "Wild Dances". You're right that I could do the merges myself, just wanted others opinion before actually taking actions. -- Luigi-ish 12:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Article was created by a band member (Very Naughty), but if he sticks around to make contributions to articles that he doesn't have an interest in, I'm prepared to let it slide. - Richfife 16:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete on formal grounds. No clear assertion of notability, no clear indication of meeting WP:BAND, no reliable third-party sources cited in article. Sandstein 20:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Here two reasons why "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas" meet WP:MUSIC:1. Napalm Records is a well known independant label that is existing over 15 years and selling their products in europe and USA and "die verbannten kinder evas" released already 2 albums on this label 2. It has a member of a band that is notable on the english wikipedia page Summoning. also there are lots of third party sources if you google around; lots of interviews and reviews about the albums. Sorry about this (Very Naughty) thing, i did not think about that. i just saw how many referred urls i get cause of the german wikipedia article about this band (also cause of the John Dowland article on the english wikipedia), so i thought it is a good idea to create this article; actually i tried to make it as objective as possible. anyway already before i got this speedy deletion nomination i already made a page about a tunesian band that i really (Amine-Hamza_M'RAIHI) like and am in contact with; so i don't only make articles of my interesst.RichardLederer 13:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Neutral It's a common term, usually spelled "Playa Hater", often shortened to just "Hater" ("Don't be a hater!", "Hate the game, not the player!"). The fact that my white, post-Mormon, middle aged ass has heard it should say something. Nevertheless, I'm not sure this is the right place for it. - Richfife 16:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep It's a pretty prevalent expression. 39,000 ghits for "playa hater" 91,700 for "player hater." Also the title of a song by The Notorious B.I.G.. I'm looking for some cites in the Ghits. Dina 17:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I have heard it many times both in my hometown in Illinois and here in Denver where I live, and its certainly common on rap albums and TV.

Comment Well, the article as it stands may be more of a dicdef, but I think a keep is in order if there is more to say about the word than a 2 line definition. This NY Times piece about the cultural "phenomenon" that is "playa hating" (what a weird sentence to write) seems to indicate to me that there is more to say. Furthermore, I see the potential for useful links into this article from other articles about rap culture. It is a cultural reference as well as a word. Not my personal culture, which is why a well-written WP article would be helpful should I encounter the concept within WP or elsewhere. Dina 12:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per WP:BIO. He has won the AWA World Tag Team Championship twice. While the AWA is still not around(it folded into the WWE). I would say it would put him under people "that have played in a professional league". Mitaphane talk 20:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
The AWA didn't fold into the WWE, it went out of business on its own. The WWE simply bought the old AWA tape library. The current AWA that this wrestler was a tag champion for is being run by the Gagne family and is little more than a small independant with ties to a couple of big time Japanese promotions. Stephen Day 00:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment: I'm just going by the information in AWA's own article. Perhaps it should be updated then. —Mitaphane talk 18:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
The article is fine overall, AWA Superstars of Wrestling is mentioned and what is there is factual, but the number of promotions linked to the current AWA is small (twenty in total world-wide) with most running shows within a very small area. ZERO-ONE MAX in Japan is the only one of any mention. The current AWA Tag-Team title and the historic one aren't really the same either, even though their histories are linked. Somebody winning that title isn't really playing in a professional league. If that was the case then where are all the articles for NWA Tag-Team Champions from that organization's period in the wilderness. Knuckles Nelson for instance, and if you say "Who?" then I hope you see my point. Stephen Day 21:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep/comment First, NOTE ABOUT NOMINATION: Elephant Larry is a professional troupe, not just some act in a contest. They've been full-time sketch actors since they all graduated from Cornell, where they were in a troupe together. Second, FULL DISCLOSURE: I've seen Elephant Larry three times, I am a huge fan, and they have performed at my (Brandeis) comedy troupe's annual sketch festival. Third, I'm arguing to keep the article because of the mammoth press section on elephantlarry.com- they have tons of third-party citations. A look simply at their press packet shows quotes from the NY Times, The Onion, and Time Out New York. -- Kicking222 00:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

There has already been a debate on Wikipedia about Manchester councillors. There are no grounds for deletion .. Rhyddfrydol 10:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, yes, the grounds are in WP:BIO: it says we keep only "major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage. Just being an elected local official does not guarantee notability." If you think the other councillors don't meet this standard, you're free to nominate them for deletion also. Sandstein 19:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 99.94

99.94 is not itself notable; in a cricketing context, any content worthy of inclusion must actually be about incidents and achievements in Donald Bradman's test career, not about the number. RobertG ♬ talk 17:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. The article is about achievement... perhaps the most supreme achievement ever accomplished by any sportsman. --Dweller 17:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete --RobertG ♬ talk 17:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - The 99.94 article emerged from a conversation at the cricket Wikiproject. 99.94 is a number of huge significance to millions of cricket lovers the world over. It is probably the most famous statistic in the sport and the articles should not be merged. Rather, the 99.94 article needs some further expansion. --Dweller 17:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • You mean here? I don't read that discussion as a consensus to create an article. I do not disagree that the number is of interest, and a matter for wonder: I am merely trying to find out whether it is verifiably notable. I'm willing to be convinced, but what can possibly go in the article that should not be in the Donald Bradman article? Similarly, it's Bradman that's notable, not the number that happens to be his average. Can you think of a cricketing event that would have turned out differently as a result of Bradman averaging more (or less)? Can I take a musical analogy? Consider: should 9 be documented as the number of symphonies Beethoven wrote? The symphonies are documented at Beethoven, and the influence of the number is documented at curse of the ninth. My point is that it's not 9 that's notable in that context, it just happens to be the number of symphonies he wrote: it's the influence the number had on other composers. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
      • The figure is notable, like a Beethoven symphony, or an album by The Verve. It was the product of an extraordinarily superhuman career and a touchingly human incident at the end of that career. It can and does include information that is overly detailed for the main Bradman article and to which I'm continuing to add. --Dweller 18:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Actually, Beethoven is mentioned in 9 (number). Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, don't merge. This information is aptly covered in Donald Bradman's article, and the coverage there could be expanded. However, this article is not about 99.94 the number or (obviously) 99.94 the year, and the idea of an article under the topic being about this seems ludicrous. Unless 99.94 is some kind of notable neologism, or a nickname for Donald Bradman, we shouldn't have a redirect from 99.94 to Donald Bradman, so we should delete. Mangojuicetalk 17:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. I'm perplexed. I thought that the criterion was notability. It doesn't need to be a neologism (>50 years since he retired, unlikely to be new) or was someone's nickname. --Dweller 17:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Here, the issue is naming. Does this info belong in an encyclopedia? Sure, I think it does. Should it be in an article about "99.94"? I really don't think so. It should absolutely be in an article about Bradman (it is), and other articles about Cricket more generally, or even an article on outstanding records in sports generally. Or, put it from another perspective: this may be the most important thing to say about the number 99.94, but in the scheme of numbers, 99.94 is quite unimportant, and right now all we have there is an article about 99.94 that includes one piece of trivia. Mangojuicetalk 22:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge - merge any info not already there into D.Bradman. 99.94 not a notable number outside of cricket so does not justify own article. Lethaniol 17:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I wasn't aware that notability criteria meant that subjects had to be notable outside of their own area. You might as well argue for deleting Asda for not being notable outside of shops/shopping. --Dweller 18:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Donald Bradman. That would be like creating the article 1.12 just for Bob Gibson's 1968 ERA, or .406 for Ted Williams' 1941 season. Wildthing61476 18:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't know much about baseball, but if those figures were astonishingly, staggeringly better (by c.65%) than anything anyone else has achieved over a career and they're figures known to millions all over the world, I'd say they may be notable too. --Dweller 18:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I would say those statistics are in a rather different category, because they're statistics for one season, not a whole career. 2632 might be a better example, and that is in 2000 (number). Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Information is already located in two other places. I'm really big on pointing out the precedent not deleting certain articles would set. If we keep this then every number that has statistical significance in sports must be kept (the number of most homeruns in baseball, for example) which is clearly ridiculous and unencyclopedic. Statistical information like this is important in the context of the articles on the sport, the person achieving the record and the article on records in that sport. It, however, does not need its own article. --The Way 19:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers, A record is worth mentioning if it is from a Major League player, or if it appears in the Guinness Book of World Records. Be sure to indicate the year the record was set in order to facilitate removal when a new record is set. Now the Guinness site is not forthcoming with any information, although a Google search did give me a tantalising result to guinnessworldrecords.co.uk/au, which turned out not to work. It is a notable statistic, and there are many Australians who would be able to answer you "What's the significance of 99.94?" even if they don't know much about cricket. Still, the number is only really notable in relation to Bradman, so I would suggest either have the article redirect to his article, or else have it redirect to 99 (or possibly 9000 (number), where 9994 would go), and include a mention of it there, in parallel to way integers are listed on collective pages.

Do you think someone will search for "0.999..."? --Dweller 07:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment to Dweller I was waiting for someone to bring that up (.999 was a featured article a few days ago). That's a mathematical article, which is a bit different. I'd say, at least personally, peculiar numbers like that which have a unique significance in mathematics and are more likely to be searched for by people looking for articles in that subject. And besides, .999 has nothing better to link to or be merged into, it's not associated with anything but itself and the abstract mathematical concepts underlying it. 99.94, on the other hand, IS associated with something that it relies upon. People are far more likely to search for the man associated with 99.94 than vice versa, the same is not the case for .999 and other mathematical numbers of significance. And notice that 3.14 redirects to Pi and not vice versa.. --The Way 07:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete As the originator (almost the only defender!) and only contributor to this article, I see no reason to fight what seems like overwhelming consensus. Some of the arguments presented here and on the talk page are very persuasive and I'd like to graciously concede. Will an admin please close this Afd. I'd argue for leaving a redirect to Bradman's article. I have pasted a copy of the 99.94 article into my sandbox and plan to gently insert appropriately into Bradman's main article, trying not to step on any toes along the way. No doubt there are a number of watchers of that article who'll keep me in line if I exceed the mark. Thank you everyone who participated in this Afd.

[edit] Enterprise-ready

Original research defining a very open-ended term. Google search for "enterprise-ready" -wikipedia +scalability +maintainability +reliability +compatibility yields no results backing up this treatment of the subject [46]. Mangojuicetalk 17:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Neutral I get a number of IT trade publications, and "enterprise-ready" is a fairly common term (though not always hyphenated), even appearing in headlines with no need for explanation. I suspect just about everyone working in IT or executive management would recognise the term. The definition used in the article is basically correct, but the overuse of "must" makes it sound too authoritive--in reality, it's one of those terms that is slightly nebulous by nature. Of course, the big question is whether it should have an article. I'm not really sure. It's a common term and I surely wouldn't call it a neologism, but I can't imagine how to exapand it further than the extended dicdef it already is.

[edit] Cheeseweb

This is about a website that has relatively little going for it. A much larger gaming website got deleted which was much more well known than this site, so it seems very unlikely this should be here, and the other not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KainT40k (talk • contribs) 25 October.

Possible single purpose account, probably WP:POINT action related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The White Counsil. -- ReyBrujo 13:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The page does not cite references for the history of the site (with the exception of the Ezine) and is also describing a freewebs page. If there was a wikipedia page for all such sites, then we could potentially be flooded by pages of information of little use to anyone. This site already has a mention in the Games Workshop Online community page I believe, maybe some if it could be merged into that. The page as it stands is of little use to anyone, and to me seems more of an advertisement than anything else. - tom ash
    User second edit. -- ReyBrujo 13:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Would you mind citing the larger gaming site so I can judge myself?
Anyway; This page did have history of the site, and if it doesn't now, it has been due to hacking problems. I will rectify the article if it would improve the situation. I understand your comment about many sites could have a page like this, but CW is a growing site, and having run a successful campaign with another site, the DC, and having a running E-zine onto it's 7th issue next month, it, in my opinion, deserves an article.
Another point I'd like to make, is that IMHO, you are putting our article up for deletion because either A) TLA does not have an article, and you see this as competition, which you shouldn't; we are smaller. Or, B) TLA does have an article, and same as point A.
Remember that Wiki is a free Encyclopedia for all, and just because you think we don't need an article, doesn't mean we can't have one. Elegost 25 October.
  • Keep It also sounds to me that this is a matter of publicity. Cheeseweb have been mentioned in several publications including Battle Games in Middle Earth and White Dwarf, and the occassional gamer looking for details of the forum may stumble across Wikipedia, and then search for it. From this, the neutral can gather that The Last Alliance are jealous that their page has been deleted. Whilst it is true that The Last Alliance is by far the bigger website, the fact it has too been published in White Dwarf with a link, and the fact it is known already across the Games Workshop community shows that it has enough reknown already. This is just childish jealousy; one has their article and the other doesn't so they wat the other gone.

Cheeseweb deserve to keep their's. It is well-written, and features links to other sites. The Last Alliance, on the other hand, do not deserve to keep this, because, out of spite, they have flagged this and several other articles for deletion. Glorfindel1993 18:04, 28 October 2006

  • Keep Well, I think this stems from the fact that the TLA entry was deleted as it wasn't notable or interesting enough. To be honest I feel both articles should be (or should have been) kept, infighting doesn't really help our cause in general. It seems strange though that an article about a website with almost 90 times as many members, that has been running 3 years longer, has won an award, been published in official Games Workshop publications, appeared on radio, has a community that ties in closely with official Games Workshop goings on and that has run 2 campaigns - on a larger scale - is deleted whilst this one is allowed. I reiterate I don't think this article should be deleted, but also the TLA one should be reinstated... ChrisWilliams1000 18:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I also agree that the TLA one should not have been deleted; don't get me wrong, TLA is a good site, but I believe that this whole fiasco is just bad blood that we still have one up and TLA doesn't. I don't see The Chamber of Smaug's, The Dark Council's, or The Alliance of Light's articles flagged. Live and let live. Elegost 19:54, 25 October
  • Keep. About the Last Alliance Article, that shouldn't have been deleted; at the time of writing the style was very messy, covering controversies and individual members without citation. I helped ChrisWilliams1000 clean it up, but it was deleted before I could vote for its retention, so I merged as much as I could into Games Workshop Online Community. If this is the problem (as Elegost and ChrisWilliams1000 suggest), it can easily be redrafted and re-proposed for inclusion.
At this time, the Cheeseweb article does give citations and reasons for notability; it is in no need of clean-up and it certainly does not need to be deleted. It was an important tactical base during the War of the Ring Online Campaign. It later ran the Campaign of LoTRs. It has content distributed through e-zines, and has produced Rules Supplements for the game in accordance with [47]. Although TLA has these on a larger scale, it does not mean the CW article should be deleted - merely that the TLA article should be reproposed for inclusion. --Grimhelm 19:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It seems that the Last Alliance article was not deleted because of its position, but because it was boring, did not cite its articles, and broke general rules. I for one wouldn’t mind the Last Alliance article being reinstated, but because that article was, forgive me, no good, it does not mean that the Cheeseweb article should be deleted. TLA is definitely more important than Cheeseweb, but it was deleted due to the quality of the article. Aratheking 25 October 2006
Also, trying to vandalise and making up facts that everyone hates the site will not help Kain. This is clear from the editing history of the Cheeseweb article, and it seems he is very bitter about the loss of his article, so he is taking it out on someone else. Also, in your reason for deletion, you fail to cite your forum. This is not going to help you. Aratheking 25 October 2006
  • Keep: The fact that The Last Alliance was deleted is highly unfair. However you have no right to consider Cheeseweb's deletion. It is a fan-site, and has too appeared in publications and a production by a Morayshire DJ. It is talked about in various hobby centres, and holds a great magazine.
I find it hard to grasp - that - just because your paid for, longer running site, was deleted. Doesn't mean to say that smaller communities have to take the outwash of your anger.

[edit] Open a can of Whoop Ass

This article has been listed for proposed deletion. But it has already been deleted via proposed deletion on 2006-05-29 and then re-created on 2006-06-29. (The deleted version can be seen at wikt:Transwiki:Open a can of whoop ass.) This counts as a contested prod.

The reason for deletion given by GassyGuy was "Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This expression does not have encyclopaedic significance. This article is unsourced, and it's unlikely to find any scholarly sources that discuss anything besides a definition and possibly a mention of its use by a celebrity."

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. By our Wikipedia:Naming conventions (verbs) an encyclopaedia article on this subject would properly be at opening a can of whoop-ass. But there's really nothing encyclopaedic to say on the subject of opening cans of whoop-ass. (The actual subject for an encyclopaedia article being fighting.) The fact that both versions of the article contain nothing but random selections of usages of a phrase in films and on television indicate that this really is a mis-placed dictionary article about an idiomatic phrase — giving its meaning, quotations showing it being used, usage notes, and so forth — not an encyclopaedia article about a person/place/concept/place/event/thing denoted by the phrase.

  • Regular Delete this is not eligible for speedy deletion under CSD G4, because this was a recreation of an article deleted through PROD. Thus, as Uncle G correctly notes, this is considered a contested PROD, and there is no deletion consensus barring the recreation of this article. However, this is an unreferenced article that keeps close to WP:OR, and has no place in an encyclopedia.-- danntm T C 21:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment My wife game me a can of spicy peanuts with this name, just 3 days ago as it was amusing, originating from Arizona. So there is a thing here not mentioned in the article. This isn't to say that it's a notable product however. Robovski 23:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm shocked by the deletes here, this is an obviously highly well known term that can be sourced and expanded upon. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The place for articles on "terms" (in this case, an idiomatic phrase) is a dictionary. This is an encyclopaedia. For there to be an encyclopaedia article, there has to be a subject. The subject in this case would be opening cans of whoop-ass. To back up your unsubstantiated assertion that an encyclopaedia article on that subject can be sourced, please cite some sources that discuss that subject. That assertion remains unfounded without cited sources. Uncle G 12:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, for instance, on page 1 of the 78 Google Books hits was The Dictionary of College Slang, which provides a concise, general definition, and then we have six individual pages of usage, ranging from the cultural to the criminal to the arguably academic. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
        • But once again, these references are simply usage of the term, and not articles about the term. -- Whpq 17:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Not all of them, and that was off of a quick Google. This can easily be expanded, which is the point. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
            • Jeff, I'm not sure you understood Uncle G's objection. There's a fair amount of material about the term "to open a can of whoop ass". That's good dictionary material, because dictionaries document terms. There doesn't seem to be material about the actual act of "opening cans of whoop ass", which is what an encyclopedia article would have to be about. Based on agreeing that it's an interesting term with a colorful history, one would conclude that it belongs in Wiktionary, not Wikipedia. Or, do you contend that Wikipedia should make like a dictionary, and maintain articles on words and usages? -GTBacchus(talk) 18:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
              • No, I understand it. I'm just not as prone to give up on what's essentially a stub when it's clear that it can be expanded to a more useful article. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
                • A useful article on the act of opening cans of whoop-ass, and not on the term and its usage? Wow, what makes it clear to you that this is doable? -GTBacchus(talk) 19:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
                  • Let me put it another, clearer way - if we're using WP:WINAD as a benchmark, I have no concerns regarding the ability of the right editor to improve this past stub status to a useful article within policy. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
                    • Um.... that wasn't clearer, and you really didn't answer my question. Let me ask 2 very direct ones: Do you think the topic of this article should be the act, or the phrase? Do you think it it generally within the purview of an encyclopedia to document English colloquialisms? -GTBacchus(talk) 20:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
                      • 1) I think there's room for a study of both in this case. 2) I think it can be in this encyclopedia, but I have a grudging acceptance of the consensus that I'm not a part of on the issue. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
                        • Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, so much as just curious where you're coming from. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
        • None of those are sources that discuss the subject. The fact that your primary purported source is a dictionary should be raising a big red flag. What you have provided are places to find quotations, showing a phrase in use, and a place where an idiom is attested. The "Encyclopedia for the New American Century" says nothing about the subject at all, for example. (It is actually is discussing violence, as is made clear by the prominent boldface heading of the paragraph.) Quotations and attestation are what Wiktionary wants for an article. Wikipedia wants sources, not quotations. As I said, please cite some sources that discuss this subject to back up the unsubstantiated assertion that an encyclopaedia article on that subject can be sourced. You haven't done so. You haven't even turned up any sources that discuss the phrase (most of which discussion is still dictionary territory), let alone the subject that it denotes — which as I point out again, is fighting.

When improved and expanded, the article will contain information about the association and will be verifiable and neutral. Can you quote one key policy that is being violated? The only argument for it's deletion is notability and it is not always so trivial to decide what is important or not. Why should we consider the Bristol Downs Football League article more notable? According to your arguments, only 400,000 people who live there would care about it. And why is Devon and Exeter Football League more important? Note that this article is very much just a list. And what do you think about Stroud and District League? The same arguments you use here apply to all these articles and if you honestly think that Achaia Football Clubs Association is non notable, then IMHO you should seriously reconsider the status of the other articles I mentioned. --Dada 09:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The article is no less relevant than other football clubs that have articles and we always must work to fight systemic bias, so it should stay. However, the format it is currently in is terrible; its still just a list of champions with almost no prose. The lists need to be cut down or removed and the article needs to be modeled after other football club articles; it needs to consist mostly in prose. --The Way 09:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: If i am not mistaken, anyone with 50+ edits has the right to vote, so comments on the ethnicity of the people who vote are really irrelevant. Besides, it is only natural for Greeks to vote, since they know better what the article is about. The only reason for deletion is it's notability (certainly the content needs serious improvement too but this is not our issue here), however the basic argument against it is that there already exist similar articles about amateur or very low-level clubs/leagues. Please let people decide without commenting on or attacking the voters and if any vote is illegal then it simply won't be counted. --Dada 14:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Some people should get a life. Who would you expect to have an opinion on an article about greek amateur football, Hungarian housewives or Chinese schoolkids? What's wrong with greek Wikipedians voting with arguments (right or wrong, doesn't matter) on the deletion of a Greece-related article? User:Daniel.Bryant, I think you should have stayed longer on your vacation, you would have done us all a favour if you came back sometime in late 2008. Sockpuppetry is a quite serious accusation. If that's your way of discussing, be my guest, I don't get easily insulted by such know-it-alls, but having to take the time to answer to such nonsense can be a nuisance--Archidamus 14:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Maybe you should read what I wrote - there's a difference between meatpuppets and sockpuppets. If you don't stop, it'll be you who won't be coming back to Wikipedia for a while - I'm not sure about the Greek Wiki, where all the meatpuppets came from, but on the English Wiki we strongly enforce a high level of civility. What you said could also be deemed a personal attack, and I will have no qualms in having you blocked if you keep it up. Consider this your final warning. Daniel.Bryant 22:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

        • Meatpuppets: "A related issue occurs when multiple individuals create brand new accounts specifically to participate in, or influence, a particular vote or area of discussion" You have actually openly accused us of having created our accounts to vote for this article. In my eyes this is quite uncivil and defamatory, especially in the way did it (generalising, no specific names mentioned, addressing all users). If you are so addicted to such behaviour that you can't see its insulting nature, what can I say, you could reconsider your debate tactics. User:Dinosaur puppy thank you for your timely concern on the civility of the discussion. It seems our definitions of civility don't overlap--Archidamus 05:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete It is so unimportant article. It has to do with a minor amature league of a district, even lower than Greek Fourth Division, where teams play in very bad stadium, and the teams are so weak. It does really not affect Greek football and I doubt even if that could be in a Greek encyclopedia (except wikipedia). So unimportant that doesn't cause the interest even of Greek fans and media. Nobody in the world will care about such an article. If such an article is accepted, I wonder what is not in wikipedia.

Also as we saw, so unimportant it is that ONLY GREEKS SUPPORT IT. The fact that is not accepted by the rest of the world, speaks everything. If Greeks want it so much, why they don't write it for their own in Greek wikipedia and want it here where nobody wants it, except them? Their opinion I think is too subjective. One proof of that that some of them called everyone who is Greek to save the article. One thing that proves the aim of them is that they called me anti-Greek because I proposed it for deletion. Their goal is pariotic rather than helping contribution in wikipedia.

  • Comment:For User:Archidamus As for the claim that Greeks know better the article, I know better my self. Does that mean that I have to write my personal biograph in wikipedia? KRBN 10:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment: This is totally different. It is not a case of self promotion and no one will gain anything if the article stays. It is about an association of football clubs, member of the Hellenic Football Federation and their amateur league. --Dada 10:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment Whoa now, this is beginning to take on a somewhat racist tone. Wikipedia is actively working to promote systemic bias which means we should include things important to different countries, not only things important to the US and UK. KRBN, please tone down this inappropriate rhetoric. The problem with the article is NOT that it's Greek, rather its that it's merely a list and the title misrepresents whats located within. If the article was changed to fit the format of the British football clubs, for example, I'd support keeping it. --The Way 07:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


  • Keep: (with some modifications, to keep everyone happy!)
  1. if amateur leagues are to have a presence at all on Wikipedia this league has a record of representing Greece in the UEFA_Regions_Cup (this is UEFA's top amateur competition and only one team composed of players from one amateur domestic league can qualify - Achaia won the Greek spot by eliminating the collective team of other amateur Greek leagues) in 2005. ([48]). There are leagues in the English football league system that have not achieved this but have been accepted. There has been a similar discussion on English low level teams here: [[49]]
  2. the league itself has been around for nearly 80 years, and teams such as Panachaiki who have won this league several times in the past have moved on and played in Greece’s A1 Ethniki, contributing players to the national team (hence the league has an element of historical significance too)
However, I think individual teams within this league should not necessarily have their own wiki entry (ie just for having participated in the league itself), unless of course they have demonstrated other notability criteria (like Panachaiki). So I propose that the red links should be deleted.
I also agree with User:The Way’s comment in that the format could be changed to resemble that of the English football league system. Finally it would be nice if the article contained more information, but judging by the interest this discussion has generated, that should hopefully come pretty soon! StephP 12:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

To my surprise, this process is working. I have already put in the information that StephP has taken the trouble to find (and some more). I understand StephP's desire to remove links, I would not get into the trouble. In my opinion red links are OK, even if they should better stay red for a very very very long time (no objection there). I understand the impression of The Way's of the long list. It is a bit boring, but it is the FCA's history: The scope of playing is winning, winners should be noted (rather than a factual but ultraboring list of all teams participating in the FCA). It also shows Panachaiki's history (an FC of national level Greek football). And...yes...the article was really ugly, but this was a question of notability as pointed out by several wikipedians who participated in this discussion, not a beauty contest.--FocalPoint 20:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

On a personal note, I owe an honest thank you to the original author of the article, Tony esopi patra as well as KRBN: Despite the latter's poor arguments, bad manners, questionable practices and serious misunderstanding of wikipedia's actual and desired content, during this discussion I have learned better the deletion process, the term meatpuppet, that trawling for votes/opinions can be seen as spam or vandalism and I have identified the process for reporting editing abuse (Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets).

[edit] NHL Daily Lines

Article being brought to AfD after discussion on talk page regarding speedy deletion. While I feel this article may be unencyclopedic, I am posting this to get a wider audience to review for deletion and wish to stay Neutral for this debate. Wildthing61476 19:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Perhaps it is not so much the article itself that is inapropriate, but rather the title. If it was changed to current NHL team roster and lines or something along those lines would that be more appropriate? I am going to move this page to: NHL: Current Rosters and Lines as soon as I can, unless that is a bad idea. --Madmarvin44 16:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Completed.

In the interest of having comprehensive and current information about a topic like hockey, I think this article is relevant and should not be deleted. However, I do agree with the name change suggested above.--70.16.35.252 19:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

It changes too much is a problem but i will still say keep ThunderGold 17:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is an indiscriminate collection of information. I'm a huge hockey fan, and I can tell you that lines change very frequently- as often as several times per game. Usually, only one or two lines are ever stable for a reasonable part of the season, and more often than not, it's only two players that stay together (ie Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo), with the third being rotated. The list will be unmaintanable, and in some cases, unverifiable because the lines are fluid throughout the entire game (particularly in the playoffs). As it stands, each team's page already has its current roster listed, so I see no need to have this article. Let me just sum it up this way: even if this page exists, it will almost never be accurate. --Wafulz 19:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
    • In any sport, whether it be basketball, football, baseball, or hockey, teams have set starters and moderately set depth charts. Prior to each hockey game the teams announcers will usually describe the starting lines of the team they are covering, and in some cases the opponents as well. This page is set up to document what teams are using as their current starting lines, rosters and rotations. As in any sport, injuries and other factors will change positions and combinations of players on the ice, field, court or whatever during the course of a game. The purpose of this page is not to track those changes, but rather to state what the current status of the team is, and what the current depth chart of the team is, as far as can be known. Obviously coaches make decisions before during and after the game the effects the information on this page, however those changes do not invalidate the information at one state - for example, starting lines in the last game were X is still a valid fact even if 4 people got injured in the game and the lines got mixed up. The next updated entry would have to show this new information as it becomes available, and probably should be documented when the lines are described. This is not news, but rather is a snapshot of the current and most recently known state of the team, information that I feel is encyclopedic and is not at all indiscriminate. There are other websites out there that can track the change of lines throughout the game, but this page is meant to be a reference as to the last best known lines and rosters for each of the teams in the NHL. Like any page in the wiki, it is only as good as its last update, and with the dynamic nature of lines in the NHL, those updates need to come fairly often. --Madmarvin44 18:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
      • As long as it's kept up to date (will be a neverending job), I find this article quite useful. That's my two cents. --RiverHockey
  • Keep on one condition: It is reorganized as a depth chart, based on reliable sources rather than as current lines, as the present scope is completely unmaintainable. Any individual player could be shifted up or down a line at any given time, but that usually does not change who is considered the #1 right wing, #2, etc. The article does have potential, however. Resolute 04:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Resolute. Spy1986 12:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I like the idea, but I don't think it belongs in an encyclopedia. Lines change from game to game, and even within a game, as do scratches, starting goalies, etc. Right now it reads like a news story or box score of the last game rather than an encyclopedia article. If it could be fixed somehow to make it more encyclopedic, I'd change my vote - but I don't see a way to do that, so I'll vote delete. --TheOtherBob 17:57, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PAEEK

  • It is A third division football club in Cyprus, so there non notability about this club. KRBN 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: I beg to differ on your opinion on this club, for the following reasons:
  1. PAEEK has a basketball division that has won the Cyprus top league on 3 occasions (See article for reference).
  2. Through its local basketball success it has qualified on several occasions in European competitions (see article for reference).
  3. If we model our coverage of the Cyprus football league system on the (so far more developed) article covering the English football league system this is a team in level 3 football (as indicated by KRBN above). It certainly is more notable than teams such as Cowes Sports F.C. which plays amateur football in level 17 Isle of Wight Saturday Football League (3rd division)!!! Or how about the Staveley Miners Welfare F.C. who play in the Wakefield and District League. Both these teams have accepted Wiki articles and so do 100’s of other less notable clubs. So, are we saying that as this team comes from a small country hence it is not notable?
  • The Cowes Sports "A" Team play in the Isle of Wight League. That's their 3rd XI (after the First Team and the Reserve Team). You'd expect the 3rd XI to play at a significantly lower level than the first team, and in this instance they play eight levels lower.... ChrisTheDude 20:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, I feel your point strengthens the argument of keeping PAEEK even further. If all three teams in Cowes Sports F.C.’s pecking order are included, the bottom at 17th level (the one identified by the links above) and the top at 9th level surely a team with PAEEK’s background (I won't repeat facts here) deserves a presence! StephP 12:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I've never said they didn't, all I was pointing out was the actual level at which Cowes Sports play (BTW their 3rds play at level 15, not 17, as they are in the IOW League Division 1, not 3 as quoted above).... ChrisTheDude 15:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • This is becoming cumbersome and might be beyond the scope of this discussion page. However, wikipedia claims that one team of Cowies FC, be it 2nd 3rd 4th or whatever pecking order plays in the 17th level. Why don’t you just check it out here for yourself: English football league system It’s in black and white. The point GeorgeG illustrates is that Cowies FC play in quite a low league, be it the 9th, 15th or 17th. I don’t think anyone here is too concerned which of Cowies FC’s multiple teams plays in which league (maybe in this case it is the Cowes FC Old Boys), however as is, one of their teams is listed in the 17th level. I suggest you went and amended the page on the English football league system if you think the information there is wrong. And if you want to genuinely contribute in a constructive manner to this page, please add your opinion on whether the article should be kept or deleted, (as this it the topic of discussion here). I am not trying to be rude or pedantic but I honestly think we are digressing from the essence. StephP 15:44, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
4. Furthermore, this is a team that has played top flight football in the past (will we be deleting Chelsea FC in 10 years time if they fell to the 3rd division of the EPL?)
This is a historic club that is a household name in Cyprus. The only argument I see in deleting this article would be the fact that it comes from a small country, which in my books is a weak thesis. I would argue that on the basis of point 3 (above) alone, teams that belong to even lower divisions of the Cyprus football league system deserve to be included.
Further note: KRBN, you have interfered in a negative manner with this article twice in the past (first by erasing and redirecting the whole article to Kyrenia on the 4th of August 2006, which is inappropriate, and secondly by proposing its speedy deletion). I also note from your discussion pages that you have made a habit of such actions, most of which are overturned. I strongly suggest you try and do more reading before hastily tagging articles in the future.Georgeg 09:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The fact that has participated in European Cups in many years ago it does not make them notable club, since they did not go furthure but just participated as representer of Cyprus.
Do not compare Cypriot and English football league. Their difference is huge. Also there is global interest even for low divisions of English league. Don't forget also that is an english wikipedia. So english teams are in different case. If it was in Greek wikipedia, there would be no problem for me. I don't suppose teams from lower level of Cyprus deserve to be included because of the level of Cyprus.
As for Chelsea, it is a historical club in England (famous in England and Cyprus not the same) with plenty of trophies, and great success in European Cups.
Also a not PAEEK has NEVER participated in Cypriot First Division.

  • Delete: Rediculus to keep such a club of third division of a weak country.--Moutalos 18:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
To administrators: Please note that Moutalos (talk · contribs) cannot count as a voting user. If you can, you may compare his server address with the server address of User:KRBN
  • Keep: My second entry (mainly in reply to KRBN’s last entry):
  1. To clarify this KRBN, you are now arguing that an English amateur league team (17th division) should be included, whilst a Cypriot 3rd division team should be excluded on the basis of this being the Wikipedia version in the English language! I find this a ludicrous argument, not to be found in any Wikipedia guidelines. Had you read the guidelines, you would find that in the English Wikipedia there is no positive discrimination for clubs originating in English speaking countries.
  2. Believe me, there is no international interest in the third division of the Isle of White Amateur league.
  3. THREE basketball titles of the top division (first or premiership or call it whatever you like) and FIVE Basketball Cup finals are not enough???? (All these claims are cross-referenced for verification in the article itself)
  4. European participation in the past decade can hardly be considered ancient.Georgeg 15:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scene (subculture)

This is a terrible article about an alleged subculture, which is actually just a flattering name for 'trendiness'. I culled a vast chunk of original research from the article (which I can testify from personal experience is a load of crap: metal has not 'stagnated' with 'nu-metal' which isn't actually metal), and truth be told the 'criticism' section is original research too, although largely valid. What is left, then, is a definition which largely mirror that found in the 'urban dictionary'. There have not, as far as I can see from Google, been sociological studies of 'scene' as there have of goth, punk, metal, etc. In short, this is not a verifiable topic, it is probably just a slang word of a particular sort of trendiness, and hence not a valid subject for an encyclopedia article, belonging more properly to a dictionary The Crying Orc 21:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • The 'newer' version is indeed more encyclopedic: less POV about trendy 'emo' 'fashioncore' nonsense. Only, it is, as it stands, largely a pointless fork of the subculture article: while there is a semantic difference between the words 'scene' and the word 'subculture' (e.g. "I am part of the metal subculture but the metal scene is slowly dying"), clearing up this semantic difference is a job for the dictionary, not an encyclopedia.

  • Keep A term used to describe the current trend of social integration in youths. We do have pages on specific trends, its why we cover Mod era and punk. "Scene" is very much a real thing and the fact the original nomination suggests a "cull" before it was nom'd means this is not the proper article, simply a bastardised one intended to weaken supporters cause.--I'll bring the food 22:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • REVISE"Scene" should definately be in Wikipedia, but there's so much more to the subculture than is in this article. The Scene is a huge part of the 15+ generation. It's not well-written and not very explanatory for people that haven't come in contact either with the scene or individual's within it/
  • Keep Scene is so important to understanding this generation. Let's revise this in an intelligent and scientific (if possible) manner. This is an encyclopedia, let's be adults about this.

    • Rubbish. "Locksport" in this context is the name promoted by a single small organization via a single web site. There is zero evidence that "Locksport" as a name for lock picking as a sport has become accepted by the world at large outside of its promoters and coiners. In any case, anything to do with lock picking as a sport belongs in lock picking. Indeed, there is already discussion in that article about lock picking championships.

      The only things that are in fact widely known as "Locksport" are an 1837 boomtown in Ohio sourcesource that is now known as Lockington, a place in Louisiana where there is a shipyard source, and a place in New York source. Uncle G 11:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

There IS a distinction between locksport and lockpicking. Honestly? It's weird, that's true, but it's a legitimate sport, and not one endorsed by a single website.

    • No-one has stated a problem understanding it. The problem is that it simply isn't the case, as far as the world outside of the coiners and promoters of the idea is concerned.

  • Locksport is a term much older than the aforementioned Locksport International. See as reference the Yahoo Group Locksports which started in 2002. It is also noteworthy that the single largest online community of enthusiasts, Lockpicking101.com, have widely adopted the term to represent the hobby. As well, consider that locksport encompasses much more than simple lock picking. - Josh Nekrep, 12:16 PM (CST), October 27, 2006

  • Keep.The arguments for deletion are baseless. The users making these comments, although very knowledgeable of wiki, lack any knowledge of Locksport, hobby lock picking or any notion of the sport there of. The term, although still in its infancy, is becoming a wide spread one. McClain’s Magazine have done an article, DefCon has a Locksport portion to its convention, as is the Dutch Open.

    • I was just reading up on all of the AfD stuff, and reading up on Wikipedia in general. I apologize for not doing this before, but I will happily make it clear that I am on the board of directors of The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers, US branch. I'm also a proud member of the locksport community as a whole. Again, I'm sorry I didn't disclose that before, but I was just reading up on the process now, and I hope this can be seen as an act of good faith on the part of a member with few other posts. (I'm concerned that making some sort of winking, smiling face may, in fact, create some bit of executed code, so just know that I said that with a grin) I'm off to find other parts of the wikiverse that I've some expertise in. Hopefully we'll see a resolution to this issue soon, and hopefully I won't see myself and my peers alienated from this very interesting community. As someone else mentioned (an older wiki user than I) we're not trying to sell anything, we just thought we'd say "hello" with an article about our own community, I think this march to deletion surprised a lot of us.

  • I believe it is also worth considering that there is currently no wiki entry which describes the recreational side of locks, lock picking, bumping, or any such topic. The Lock PIcking page represents a technical representation of the physical act of picking a lock, but offers little information that there even exists a wide base of hobbyists. I can see no reason why a legitimate hobby, with a name for that hobby coined by and adopted by those who participate, should not be allowed to be described on a wiki page. Before removing this entry, serious though should be given to how wiki should describe the hobby/sport. - Josh Nekrep 17:45, October 28 2006

[edit] Lisa Nicole

A (poorly titled) bio article on Steve Jobs' daughter, Lisa. Lisa does not seem to be a notable individual; IMO she does not meet the standards of WP:BIO on her own, and being related to Jobs is not in itself notable. Some will argue that the Apple Lisa was supposedly named after her, but as far as I can tell neither Apple Computer nor Jobs have ever confirmed that theory, always officially stating that the name is an acronym for "Local Integrated Software Architecture". Therefore, the only "notable" information about her can't actually be verified. It could be argued that the industry speculation about the origin of the name is itself somewhat notable, but that is already mentioned in the Apple Lisa article and doesn't merit a separate article for Lisa Brennan-Jobs. -Big Smooth 21:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete It is ridiculous to have an article about a barely notable person without even using her last name. Nuke it. Danny Lilithborne 21:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Lisa Brennan-Jobs seems to have become a journalist, or at least writer of magazine articles. One notable article is "Driving Jane" for The Harvard Advocate, about how her aunt Mona Simpson fictionalized her as a character in the book A Regular Guy. It also looks like she also wrote a whole series of (less autobiographical) articles for Spiked (magazine): [52], and the Harvard Crimson: [53]. Don't know yet if being a writer for notable publications, fictionalized book character, as well as daughter and niece of notable people combine to make her sufficiently notable. It's close. AnonEMouse (squeak) 20:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Messiahs in fiction

Delete Article seems to be composed primarily of original research, and many of the instances mentioned appear to be unverifiable. It presently contains 58 kb of text and not a single reference or citation. Additionally, if this list were to be expanded to fully contain all fictional characters who shared the characteristics it described, the page would be far too long. Any individual characters with a verifiable messianic role should have that role covered in their article, not in one gigantic page like this. -- tjstrf Now on editor review! 22:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Very weak keep but only if condensed and cited. I'm torn on this one. I think a list/discussion of the topic is fine. It is certainly a more viable list-style topic than many others I've seen. And it's also something that someone might want to read up on. However as noted this article has very little by way of citations except that the productions themselves could be seen to be the primary sources. 23skidoo 05:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. One of better looking lists in Category:In popular culture. This kind of articles was invented to put cultural references outside the main text to keep it more on topic. It works rather well. May be renamed to "Messiahs in popular culture" and the link to it could be better placed in Messiah.
What regards "citations" - these texts are not about scientific projects. Example of high quality "In popular culture" article is Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc. Pavel Vozenilek 14:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I am really not buying the definition of "messiah" that the article presents, or even the definition used by the category. For now, I think the category should be sufficient, but dying and come back doesn't necessarily make someone a messiah. Danny Lilithborne 21:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply My point exactly. The definition of "messiah" there is effectively equivalent to the archetypical protagonist in fantasy. If the article is kept, it will need its subject redefined. --tjstrf Now on editor review! 22:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • weak keep - the definition of "messiah" needs to be better defined (the given definition doesn't jive with the definition at messiah), the list needs to be pruned to match, and references are obviously needed- I'm not certain that quality references for this sort of thign could be found. Many of the examples given just don't fit, even with the very loose definition of messiah given (I removed the Lord of the Rings section before I noticed the AFD).

    The difference is that Springfield is the setting for the Simpsons and that Bender is a major character in a television series, both of which are significantly more important than a minor item in a television series. Cheers hoopydinkConas tá tú? 23:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep A major plot element from a notable television series? How does that not meet the criteria for Wikipedia? And further "as revealed in the DVD commentary of "Parasites Lost" and "Devil's Hands..." is in the article, which indicates that somebody heard someone say it in the DVD commentary. That makes it a source, and as such means that this article is not entirely original research. But just so everybody knows there is List of Futurama_gadgets which this could be merged to easily, if that was desired. FrozenPurpleCube 23:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    Please don't misrepresent the item's significance. The item is not a major plot element in the series by any stretch of the imagination. It has been prominently featured in a few episodes and has been seen, but not featured, in a few others. In as far as merging, I'd be happy to merge the information to the list of gadgets after the deletion of the article (I can view deleted content). hoopydinkConas tá tú? 23:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    Comment It's the crux of the final episode of the final series (Fry does a deal with the Robot Devil to be able to play the holophonor, and goes on to stage an operatic performance relying on his playing the holophonor) as well as having been featured in a previous episode. Robovski 00:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • It's a major plot element in two episodes, there's no doubt of that. In fact, I'd say it's a very significant element of the second one, as Robovski already said. If it were just one, I'd say merge to that single episode, but given that it is in two, plus some of the comics, it just wouldn't work. But hey, go for the merge to a single article for the series. That'd be fine with me. FrozenPurpleCube 01:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Conflicted. Perhaps I should go with keep or merge. But either way, the info shouldn't be deleted by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know if the item is notable enough for its own article, but my utter, unwavering love of Futurama (with the exception of "That's Lobstertainment!", which even the show's creators admit is the worst episode) keeps me from !voting for a merge. Also, the fact that the (current) final episode of the series reolves around the holophonor is an interesting point (for the record, "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" is one of my favorite episodes). But... eh, I don't know. Just don't delete the article outright. -- Kicking222 02:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

However when the concept is used, it is not always a "booth" per se; for example in King in Yellow there are suicide centers that are clearly a larger building than a booth, but designed for the same purpose.

[edit] Twitches 2: Back to Coventry

Looks like crystal ballery. No good google matches [55] [56] so this appears to be a Wikipedia invention. Mad Jack 23:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nod Mad Jack 23:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • 'Keep Here's proof. [57]
    • Just because an actress mentioned a film in passing half a year ago, doesn't mean that film will be made (nor is there a source for anything in the article, including the full title). Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Mad Jack 03:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Twitches 2 and Twitches 2:Back To Coventry are working titles duh. And Tia mentioned them because she has signed on to do it. And Tia is not a liar, so therefore, it must be true.
      • The point is that a film mentioned in passing months ago has no guarantee of being made, nor is there any verifiable info on it (i.e. this "Back to Coventry" subtitle - where's the source? ) Mad Jack 12:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Debt Elimination

This entry is an essay as such fails WP:OR and fails to provide any sources, reliable or otherwise. The prod tag was removed by an anon user without comment. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 23:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Improve The article is an essay, it doesn't refer to any sources or justify that there is any widely known concept that could not be inferred from the words: "debt elimination". I checked, internet, but mostly it returned results for financial scams (which means a real concept might exisst but I can't find it). Give it 5 days to see if it improves, then delete! --Mike 13:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

There are tons of titles under his belt(and i mean competition at its highest level) which i hope you guys can expand on it. Maybe some of you are not familiar with Karate.

[edit] The Amazing O'Malleys

I don't think unaired pilots pass the notability criteria. Not many Google matches [64]. An IMDB entry is not immediately criteria for notability, and there seem to be few or no sources to support most if not almost all of the info Mad Jack 00:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom Mad Jack 00:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Little in the article is verifiable, as most of the information seems to come from rumor sites. Even if fully verified, a failed pilot isn't notable anyway. Fan-1967 00:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Oddly, this page does link to an IMDB page, but that page says Hannigans with O'Malleys for character names. Very odd. FrozenPurpleCube 01:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Article history shows some renames. Some of this is very suspicious. There was a hoaxer a few months back (MCcoupe7 (talk · contribs)) who enjoyed creating fanciful projected Disney series, creating articles here as well as various other sites. (S/he returned last week with some more nonsense, and was banned.) I don't know if this is related to that or not. Fan-1967 18:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Housebroken (TV series)

Unaired pilots don't seem to pass notability criteria. No sources cited for article's content. Mad Jack 00:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom Mad Jack 00:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per "crystal ball". According to IMDb [65], the show is called "Arwin!". According to Petition Spot [66], the show has been shelved by Disney. Delete article until the show is added to the line-up. Caknuck 16:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Why does a pilot have to be aired to deserve a wikipedia entry? Fans of the Suite Life, or the actors in this pilot, may be interested to know that this pilot was made and what it was about. However, the pilot is not called Arwin, it is called House Broken. Stage11 16:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree that it would make interesting information. However, not to the level to deserve its own article. This information can easily be added to the Suite Life of Zack & Cody article itself in a couple of sentences. Mad Jack 18:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Escape from Samsara

Nomination for deletion No claim made of encyclopedic notability. Wikipedia is not a nightlife guide. Clarification - "Escape from Samsara" was not a nightclub in terms of a physical venue; it was one type of regular party night that used the The Fridge as a venue. I am not questioning the encyclopedic notability of The Fridge. A little more detail could be added to the Escape from Samsara mention there, but a separate article hasn't been justified. I originally attached a prod tag, but I saw that the creator had recently discussed this article, and seems to have created the article in earnest, so I decided to take it here for discussion instead. Bwithh 00:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

if a religious redirect is desired, Nirvana pr Brahmacharya may be more to the point, though the article should mention the Samsara word Bwithh 18:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
