[edit] Basic4gl

Poorly written article about non-notable computer programming software. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 23:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Co-Creator Notice Hi, it's 'Matthew' from the Basic4GL Forum here, there seems to be some problems with the Basic4GL Wikipedia entry so I'm going to try and deal with them here if that's alright.

I only got involved in the 'Basic4GL Wikipedia entry project' Yesterday.

1.) I've removed the Tags beneath the Images which were directing people to the Basic4GL Site in order to Download Games created in Basic4GL.

2.) I'd forgotten to add the GFDL Copyright Tag to the 'Flymass' Image, this has been rectified.

3.) I've added a Link to the History of the BASIC Programming Language.

4.) Some of you have questioned the Importence of Basic4GL in the 'Realm' of Programming Languages, I'd just like to draw your attention to another BASIC programming Language which has a Site on Wikipedia FreeBasic. If FreeBasic has a Site then I really can't see why Basic4GL can't.

5.) Just discovered that BlitzBasic a Commercial version of the BASIC Programming Language is on Wikipedia, surely their Site reads more like an Advertisement than our's does. --Visi calc 13:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC) 'Matthew Basi4GL Forum' --Visi calc 19:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC) 'Updated by Matthew' — Visi calc (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Creator Before it was messed up and needed an expert so we are in the process of making the article better written so hang on! an also heres some stuff that might stop you thinking its non notible http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/basic.shtml http://forums.halodev.org/lofiversion/index.php?t561.html http://basic.mindteq.com/Details/Basic4GL.html http://www.klikforever.co.uk/tutorials.php?action=view&id=1 http://www.devmaster.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3303 http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=202166 --Madcow 14:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


  • Keep I agree, this is sick... I've seen tons of less "notable" programming languages out there. And Matthew is correct... If FreeBasic can have an article, why not Basic4GL? Basic4GL is free too... And BASIC... I have personally witnessed Basic4GL's deletion from wikipedia three times now... None of which were advertising and I fail to see how this isn't considered "notable" when compared to some of the other programming languages on here. FreeBASIC/Free pascal/Euphoria/FASM... I have tried all of those and I can't see how any of them are more "notable" -David — 70.104.113.201 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete Non-notable, advert, all that. Also, to Visi Calc - Pointing to articles that you feel are less notable than this isn't a defense. The only result of that is that it's now really likely that the FreeBasic article will get AfD'd as well. --PresN 19:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Basic4gl is a great new programming language for beginners and it deserves recognition. I've noticed the language bieng mentioned in a wide variety of discussion forums lately: it is gaining popularity and support. I see no logical reason to deny people information on Basic4gl, and patrons of Basic4gl and Wikipedia would be dissapointed at such an act. "Notability" is no criteria on which to base this decision, and if it were, a lack of notability should be an arguement for keeping Basic4gl here. Is the goal of Wikipedia only to regurgitate widely available, notable information? Should information on Basic4gl not be available from Wikipedia simply because it's not widely available elsewhere? — 140.211.24.87 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Message to PresN You've had Six Months to Delete the FreeBASIC Article on Wikipedia. I've noticed you haven't done it yet.--Visi calc 23:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Matthew

  • Delete concur with Victor Lighthill. The spamtastic nature of the BlitzBasic article doesn't justify keeping this; it justifies deleting the BlitzBasic article. The FreeBasic article can be moved to the OSS Wikia. —ptk✰fgs 05:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

well looks like the editor has. --Madcow 22:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. If Basic4GL is being declared as non-notable and/or not meeting the proposed WP:SOFTWARE, how many articles in Category:BASIC programming language family are you going to list for AfD? The article also appears (to me at least) to be less of an advertisement after substituting the second pronoun. —LOL 21:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Women Fully Clothed

Originally {{prod}}ded as nn; prod tag was removed by possible SPA 71.203.231.148 with the edit summary "its not like they dont exist". Forgive me if I find that argument less than compelling, so on to a full-blown AfD we go. Subject is nn; article is a WP:OR violation written in a wildly unencyclopedic manner; roughly half the sentences contain WP:WEASEL violations; and not one word of it is properly cited besides the fact that the group exists at all. Also, while Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) is only a proposal at this point, I will note that this comedy troupe fails nine of the ten criteria currently listed, and for that tenth one it does pass, Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) suggests that the article name instead be used as a redirect to the name of the troupe's most prominent cast member and listed as a side project on his/her page. Needless to say, I think this adds up to a big old Delete. Aaron 00:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Changing my vote to weak keep based on Roninbk's excellent cleanup. I still don't think they meet the proposed comedy guidelines, but they're close enough. --Aaron 15:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, but re-write - The article is mostly a re-hash of their about page, bordering on copyvio, but the comedy group is not only real, but seems to be fairly notable as touring comedy groups go. A few useful links that I found: review in NOW Magazine, Awards show entry on IMDB that mentions their nomination, I even found one place where a member was introduced in an acting context as "from Women Fully Clothed" [1].—Preceding unsigned comment added by Harmil (talk • contribs)
    • I'm gonna go ahead and add those links in, and give it a rough sanding of the prickly points. --Roninbk t c # 02:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • OK, I've cleaned up the article significantly. It now passes Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) on three counts, (multiple non-trivial published works, members otherwise notable, and featured in major comedy festival) I've stripped the POV, killed the weasels, and added stub categories. I hope that this article can now be saved from deletion. KEEP --Roninbk t c # 05:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harvard Law & Policy Review

This is, at the moment, a non-notable law review. There are no substantial references in the article itself, and the 8 unique search results add nothing. It's rather ironic to nominate a law review for deletion -- you'd think that if this article has been generated by those involved, they would understand why this article is not acceptable for this project right now. Erechtheus 00:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete/Merge to American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, although they have a section on it already. Zero hits on Factiva, zero hits on Google Scholar. This journal may in future become sufficiently encyclopedically notable for its own article, but let's not be premature here. Bwithh 01:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS Schedule Variations

Violates WP:OR and WP:NOT a television schedule. Kirjtc2 00:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm only trying to inform the public of timing variations... Is that too much to ask??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SUN OCT 1 2006 8:58 PM EDT
  • Comment Maybe, yes. Why should the public be learning of "timing variations" from an encyclopedia? And gosh darn it, it certainly should not be a seperate article! -- Gwern (contribs) 01:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Yes, it is too much to ask. WP is not a television guide, and if the public wants to know when this show is on, they can check their TV Guide. Resolute 01:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Wait! Before you do that!!! What do you suggest I do??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SUN OCT 1 2006 9:31 PM EDT
  • I recommend that you accept that this article will not survive, and not take it personaly. Topics like this are not candidates for articles, no matter how well intentioned they are. Why would anyone care about this information in the long term? Resolute 03:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Sad, because Wikiscripps 07 has obviously put some work into this, but I sure don't know where we could put it without violating a guideline. --Aaron 02:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. And btw, those kids are hella annoying. Danny Lilithborne 02:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I think a 'check local listings' note in the KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS article works just as well, this article is over-crufty, confusing, and unneeded. 4Kids TV also airs on multiple stations/timeslots, and we have no article on that because it isn't needed. Nate 02:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a TV Guide. Per Nate, "check local listings" would be sufficient. --Metropolitan90 02:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Reconsider. I was only trying to help!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SUN OCT 1 2006 11:02 PM EDT
    • Comment clearly some considerable effort went into this. It's not really a suitable entry _here_, but I hope the author will find another place to post this on the web. Derex 06:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia just isn't the place for this. Sorry. BTLizard 08:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NOT but Merge into KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS in very abridged form, perhaps just the bit of text do not air at the same time on all CBS stations, even though promotional material and ratings data give a "uniform" national time. The time slots for these programs varies by market. Because of this, KOL's official site does not give specific times for their programs, therefore urging viewers to check local listings for time and channel. --Hyperbole 16:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kenneth Robert Pangborn

Unnotable usenet poster. Fails WP:BIO. Similiar article deleted, see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kenneth Pangborn, but never had a full afd discussion. Thus, its shouldn't be speedied. If deleted, these pages should be protected from re-creation. Arbusto 01:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete lessee... a rape threat, a few awards from net.kooks, and a fake diploma? Nothing there to suggest he is even close to Mentifex or Timecube levels. -- Gwern (contribs) 01:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy and speedy it quick Probably libelous. Clearly a hit piece. "There is much controversy over whether Pangborn's services are of any value", "Diploma mill", etc. Look at the name of the only reference. I'd indef block the poster too for a clear and intentional WP:BLP violation, since he's got essentially no constructive contributions. Derex 06:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Its clear this is at least the third time this has been deleted, but it should be fully reviewed with the afd so we can speedy it in the future. --Arbusto 06:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
You can't just leave a BLP violation up for people to chat about. The concern is a legal one. See WP:BLP#Remove unsourced or poorly sourced negative material. That describes the _entire_ article. Jimbo says there "I can NOT emphasize this enough. .... It should be removed, aggressively" Derex 06:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I just removed everything obvious. Now the main problem is that the whole remaining article is unverifiable without a bunch original research. Derex 06:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't see any claim to notablility here, personally I think this is half-way between db-bio and db-repost. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 09:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO, and I certainly wouldn't oppose a Speedy either. Article at time of AFD was a clear attack page, and once the attack stuff has been taken out there's very little left (and it's still unreferenced, to boot!) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alt.usenet.kooks

Article does not assert notablity per WP:WEB and things like criticism aren't sourced. In 2005 another afd voted keep many asking for clean up. Arbusto 01:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I don't see what has changed since then. I'm not sure cleanup is actually warranted, but last I heard simply being in cleanup wasn't enough. -- Gwern (contribs) 01:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
How does it pass WP:WEB? It reads: 1) The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. 2) The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation. 3) The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster. Arbusto 01:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - this newsgroup is very notable on the Internet. Admittedly it probably doesn't pass WP:WEB, but it's still notable and ought to be in an internet encyclopedia. - Richardcavell 02:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep only if cleaned up before close of discussion, otherwise delete. I don't think WP:WEB applies here, as Usenet exists outside of (and greatly predates) the World Wide Web. And there's no question that alt.usenet.kooks meets notability based purely on its role in Internet history. However, I'm not a big fan of articles that are given almost a year to get cleaned up but then never are. If nobody's willing to bring it up to spec, it should be deleted. --Aaron 02:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • "needs to be cleaned up" is not a criterion for deletion. There are plenty of articles in far worse shape, many of which have been in worse shape for longer periods of time. There isn't a deadline at which all of Wikipedia's content gets shipped off to the printers, after all, what's the harm in taking our time? Bryan 06:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, apparently "taking our time" is quite similar to "never gets done" Bwithh 16:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Past a certain point, the fact that a cleanup tag goes unheeded is itself inherent evidence that perhaps the subject isn't as Wikiworthy as we'd like to believe. In such a case, it may be preferable to simply delete the article without prejudice, so that someone else may come along later and produce a better article from scratch. And if nobody ever does, well ... --Aaron 16:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A newsgroup is not a web site, so WP:WEB may not be easily applicable. And in any event this particular newsgroup happens to be one of the more significant bits of Usenet culture. Bryan 06:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Per consensus in previous AfD, I don't see how it has changes since. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 10:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, and hopefully a cleanup after one long year. Notable in the internet world and deserves an article on Wikipedia. --Terence Ong (T | C) 13:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and tag for cleanup. Gamaliel 13:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Provide proper references and cleanup before the end of afd or else, delete as per Aaron. After 10 months or so since last afd - no claims to notability, no verifiable reliable sources, failure of WP:WEB. Apparently we're just going on the hearsay of people. This is VERY bad precedent for other articles. We've already made a huge exception for this article. I don't see why we should have infinite patience for it, especially if "we'll take our time over cleanup/it'll get cleaned up eventually" actually means nothing gets done about critical issues. Bwithh 16:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Google suggests the subject is notable and there should be enough out there to verify all these claims that someone apparently just rattled off from memory. --Hyperbole 16:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Zero hits on Google Scholar and Google Books btw. This is hardly The WELL. Bwithh 19:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment: Even The WELL would probably only have a 50-50 chance of survival if anyone cleaned out the Wikipedia:Walled garden hagiographical parts of it and put it up for AfD. --Aaron 20:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Oh, nonsense. The WELL was an important virtual community (not so much today), and has had entire books devoted to it. --Calton | Talk 02:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
          • "Not so much today" is kind of my point. If there had been a Wikipedia in 1992 and someone nominated The WELL, it would have been closed as a blatantly bad-faith nomination within about 90 seconds. But in 2006? It's more like "Oh yeah, the WELL. I remember them; they're still around? Wow..."

      • I got over 100k hits searching for "geek" and "revoke" to capture the synonyms.

  • Delete This is an article on a newologism. Per WP:NEO we require secondary sources about the neologism. None are in the article, none are introduced here. Deletion is therefore the right answer. GRBerry 03:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Have now added three examplees from media sources to the article - a Mac programming text book, a New York Observer article and a BBC article. Yes, I know they are not secondary sources about the phrase, but are we really saying that a term that the BBC was using five years ago is too new and unusual to qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia ?? Gandalf61 09:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Have also added a secondary source reference from Urban Dictionary to the article. Admittedly UD is borderline as a secondary source, but it does have some quality control; recent discussion on Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources did not reach a consensus on excluding it as a reliable source; and there is precedent for citing it as a secondary source in Wikpedia - see race traitor, fashioncore, emo. Gandalf61 14:21, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King Kong monsters

To start with, most of those creatures are only mentioned in another encyclopedia (The World of Kong), which brings down questions of copyright. If we offer a free alternative, it is a significant threat to the sales of the book. I also have problems with the silly prose, the complete non-notability, and absolutely no hope of expansion (being that they only exist as entries in a fictional encyclopedia). Interrobamf 01:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep for All- I see no real reason to delete these articles. First of all, your request sounds like a bad faith nomination, and, while I don't mean to attack you in any way, you seem to have many references to vandalizing user talk pages and spreading your own ideas. Second, I don't see "a significant threat to the sales of the book" as a viable argument. We have articles about many books, but no one has listed one for deletion based on the fact that it would detract from the book's sales. As for expansion, there will always be a chance for an article to be expanded (images, infoboxes, etc.) I also don't see any "silly prose" that you suggest. I hope this serves as a good argument against your nomination.

bibliomaniac15 02:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC) PS: By the way, the use of the paleobox in Vastatosaurus rex was allowed by the creator of the paleobox, Kazvorpal, when I asked him. Here's a link: User talk:Kazvorpal.

    • Do you care to back up the existence my so-called "vandalizing"? Besides the incident about fair use images on a user page, which is againist policy, and a situation you clearly don't understand? You also do understand how irrelevant that is to this debate? And that this is hardly a bad faith nomination compared to nominations that simply state "fancruft"?

      Moving beyond that, articles on books don't delve into exact details about their content nor is that even comparable to this situation. It's quite simple. The only information about those fictional species is in the book, which is presented as an encyclopedia. Wikipedia copies all the detail. People now have little reason to buy the book because they can get all the detail (and under your proposition for expansion, images) for free. Do you not realize the threat?Interrobamf 04:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • No, I don't realize any threat. For example, no one has listed the articles about the different types of Middle-Earth elves for deletion, just because it would decrease sales of The Silmarillion. No one has even listed them for merge. Also, I really wouldn't consider this fancruft, since these articles are much like the article List of Star Wars creatures, only with more detail. I still hold with keeping, or at least merging into a list. bibliomaniac15 17:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with The World of Kong. Articles are small enough to combined. --Masamage 03:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sheepstealer clothing

Nomination for Deletion First afd was a speedy keep after no discussion due to an admin perception that the nomination was bad faith/inaccurate[5], though this was also disputed by another admin[6]. I basically agree that the first nom may have been by an inexperienced user who cited the wrong policy (WP:SOAP) in their nomination, and since there was no discussion whatsoever, I don't see the need to go through WP:DRV (though I'm open to suggestions otherwise). I am nominating this as a failure of WP:CORP, particularly bearing in mind that the official stance on acceptance criteria for corporate articles has recently hardened. (See "Corporate vanity policy enforcement" by Brad Patrick, General Counsel and Interim Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation). Patrick calls for a "shoot on sight" policy but given the mixup with the first afd, I decided to re-nominate. Initially I thought this company may be a specialist provider of traditional uniforms to Irish sports teams (possibly some notability if that was true), but it seems from the website that they actually just sell the usual range of t-shirts, hoodies and baseball caps for fans. Also, only about 50 google hits. In addition, the article appears to have been created by an employee of the company with a single purpose account Bwithh 02:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, contentwise this is going to be a POV, Original research, & fanboy magnet unless the section "Notable guitarists not on the list commonly cited as deserving of inclusion include..." is agressively excised from this list... but that is a content issue. The real problem is that you take out all the OR & unverified speculation, all you have left is an article about a cover story from one issue of Rolling Stone, which was inexplicably moved to the current namespace, and doesn't really make a strong case for importance of this one RS article. Rolling Stone isn't the be all and end all of guitar playing critique and I would argue isn't even a reliable source on the topic; this isn't Guitarist Magazine...--Isotope23 16:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete without prejudice to future recreation. If we can have Historical rankings of United States Presidents, we could theoretically have an NPOV article about the greatest guitarists of all time - but an article about a single Rolling Stone article is not notable. There would need to be significantly more sources. --Hyperbole 16:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Whatever is done, SOME discussion of the all-time best guitarists is useful. Rolling Stone Magazine can be a source, without being the definitive list. But keep some listing of the greats. Tawn 06:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - We can't keep a listing of "great" guitarists because such a listing will inevitably be POV, whether it follows the essentially rockist agenda of the present article or some other range of criteria. BTLizard 11:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Absolutely. The Rolling Stone list is biased from the ground up - I would suggest that the greatest guitarist of the 20th Century was probably Andres Segovia and any list of the supposed greatest guitarists which omits Segovia, Django Reinhardt, John Williams and Julian Bream is of decidedly questionable merit. One of my most vivid memories is hearing John Williams perform in St Albans Abbey - one man and an acoustic guitar in one of the largest cathedral naves in England, without any amplification. The audience was around a thousand people and you could have heard a pin drop, it felt as if there were just the two of us there. A truly breathtaking performance. Guy 12:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

    • Although that article is enormously enjoyable and has survived four nominations for deletion, it also has four problem-templates at the top. Surely not a good sign for future articles in the same vein. --Masamage 01:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, no, it would not. It would be a copyvio of intellectual property. As is this. Delete. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The point of articles like this is that the list is a handy way to cite acclaim for a guitarist without saying "regarded by many...", and linking to an article on the list rather than to the list itself allows for some contexualization--like pointing out that the list, being compiled by a rock music magazine, is inevitably a list of rock guitarists rather than all guitarists. It's clear that this article is headed for deletion, but perhaps it could be reborn as an article that brings together several similar lists from different sources for a broader approach. Nareek 21:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • We cannot keep this, it's a copyright violation. You could, instead of saying "regarded by many as ...", simply say "voted in the top 100 ..." and link to the offline page. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sponsors vs Freeloaders

This was nominated for deletion six months ago and kept with no consensus. However, there were some accusations of WP:POINT in that debate. I myself recommended a week keep then, but I've reconsidered since then. Google gives 46 unique hits, some of which still aren't reliable sources, and, aside from a couple of award nomination mentions (none actually won), there isn't much there. The award nomination mentions are well and good, but the problem is that they don't contribute too much to non-trivial third-party coverage (they're just lists). I do realize that CSD A7 has been recently expanded to include web content, and there is very little of notability claims in here as it stands (and any semblance of such is completely unsourced), but I guess that one could somewhat interpret the Red vs. Blue connection as a claim. So, given this and the past AfD and no consensus, I felt that it'd be better to send this to a debate first. — TKD::Talk 02:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The speedy delete incident is explained by someone trolling the article's author at Talk:Bass Pig, but we can be pretty sure that the author didn't want to have the article speedily deleted. Anyway, I can't see any sign of third-party reporting on this. It is very hard to Wikipedia articles to be neutral (an absolute requirement) if they are written by people involved with the subject (this is why we have a guideline suggesting that it may be a problem if you write about yourself or your friends). For that reason we usually expect someone else, a reliable third-party source, to have written about things before Wikipedia has an article on them. Because that hasn't happened in this case I don't see how this article can be neutral as required. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Again, I assert that ZIM is a legitimate enterprise product. The company receives many calls and e-mails per day regarding licencing of the software to major firms. It does not have much Internet presence due to the nature of the product; it is designed for private use in companies, and the public server is only for demos and testing. The article is written as no such advertisement. If the language is written in a non-wiki way, then it needs to be flagged for cleanup, not for deletion. I assure you ZIM is legitimate. All above claims of illegitimacy are based in mere speculation and are completely unfounded.
No assuring us is not the way this works - you need non-notable sources to indicate this is worth an article. As for not reading like an advert - surely you jest? Looking past all of these features which eloquently enhance ease-of-use, the most remarkable feature of ZIM is it's advanced file transfer technology. Where other messengers fail to work with firewalls, are slow because of uncompressed data, or do not integrate with the users' computers well, ZIM excels. --Charlesknight 20:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
It is irrevelant as to whether or not it is written like an advertisement. If it is in advert form, then the article must be cleaned up, not removed. As for credible sources: this project used to be a sourceforge featured project: [9]. Here are SF news archives: [10] and [11]. Here it is written about on a popular gaming forum: [12]. There is an article about it on zoominfo: [13]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.43.117 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 2 October 2006
Let's see 1 is a link to sourceforge - anyone can jump a few hoops and get on there - entirely non-notable. The second and third are just sourcefog logs - so what? The third is someone basically saying "hey dude - try this piece of software, me and two mates are trying it!" - big wow. The article listed in the 4th link says This summary was automatically generated using information found on the Internet. and is purely descriptive. --Charlesknight 20:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the 4th link: it shows that there is information on the internet about it if the bot was able to obtain it.
  • Keep ZIM is a real product that is vastly used in the business world. Its web presence is low and this is unfortuanate, but this does not change the fact that it is wide spread. As for sourceforge: look at how long this product has been on sourceforge. One cannot just jump a few hoops to get on sourceforge. One must undergo a large review process. Sorceforge logs are of news releases that sourceforge published. The third one, yes I'll agree, is just a couple of script kiddies using the software, but after all, the internet presense of ZIM is for script kiddies; the wide spread usage of this in the business world is done over the telephone and with real material.

Great, you can list 3 or 4 of the coporations that are currently using this beta product. This is really really straightforward "I heard", "I think" and "I know" do NOT cut it on Wikipedia - Go read this and then you will be aware of what is required. --Charlesknight 20:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
This article passes the tests. Charlesknight -- let's keep ego out of this, please. 72.49.43.117 20:45, 2 October 2006
let me get this straight - this is an amazing in-use product "vastly used" in the business world but the designer is asking Do you think it is at all marketable? I'm interested in the opinion of the intelligent tech savy community, not just my mother who tells me it's great. I see.... --Charlesknight 21:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
This is A) not a reliable source, B) tells nothing about the actual usage, and C) may very well be an imposter. Please charlesknight, you said above that the forum wasn't reliable. Do not contradict yourself. Stop with your ego and illogical conclusions. 21:28, 2 October 2006 72.49.43.117
Where on the webpage does it say what you have quoted? It is not there.
Well that was not a very bright move - all you have done is indicate that you must be a sock of the user User:ZX2C4. Many thanks for outting yourself. --Charlesknight 21:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
What are you talking about? How is there a correlation between the zx2c4 of wikipedia and of the fourms? What text was changed? Photoshopping is a popular device. Regardless of any correlation that could be met, a logical argument (as the KEEPs present) is logical regardless of bias.
  • Keep Zim is indeed a real product and has a number of users already. Zim was created in the most professional of ways to enhance the online expereince of business users in the midwest. It seems charlesknight is trolling out with logic. 24.29.21.137

1) uncommon term in academic literature, 2) resembles existing article Objective reality, 3) from the talk page, it is clear that this article is not being taken seriously by anyone -Shaggorama 08:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  7. Comment. Anyone here actually know enough about Eastern philosophy to be sure that "ultimate reality" isn't an English phrase for some notable Eastern philosophical concept? There's the 25-year-old Ultimate Reality & Meaning journal, an Ultimate Reality bibliography... I'm not seeing any concise definitions, but that's hardly an uncommon issue in philosophy. (Concerned here that no distinction is being made between the quality of this article and the right of a better version of it to exist.) (late sign:) –Outriggr § 06:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    1. I am not an expert, but I have studied enough Eastern philosophy and religion to know that when the phrase "ultimate reality" is used in these contexts, it can mean only one of a few things which are best covered in other articles on Wikipedia. 1) Ultimate reality can mean the real world which lies transcend and lies beyond the apparent world of the sense. This is covered in hundreds of different articles. 2) UR can be a shorthand for the "meaning of life", as in the first link which you cite. This should be covered in meaning of life. Ultimate reality often means some undisclosed higher plane of existence/heightened state of consciousness achieved through transcendental meditation, the use of drugs. This should obviously be covered in things like satori, enlightenment, consciousness, spirituality, transcendental meditation, etc.. etc. Somehow I do NOT think that Wikipedia is LACKING in such material. Au contraire. --Francesco Franco 08:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign Born Lords of the English Realm

I am not sure whether this is a simple hoax, or what. Certainly Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland wasn't in any position to be killed in a duel with "Lord Richard Brown" in 1793 as he had died in 1765. William IV wasn't king in 1793, George III was. I'm not sure whether WP:NFT or WP:NOR applies here, but the article is not verifiable.

[edit] Half-Life series storyline

A textbook case of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information #7. This is a novelization of the various Half-Life games. It has no hope of being sourced to anything but observation of the games themselves (the linked refs are to a HL2 fansite), and the entire article is redundant to the plot summaries in the articles themselves.

We're not here to retell stories in less-compelling form; Valve has some games they'd like to sell you if you want to know what happens in the Half-Life series. Instead, Wikipedia has plot summaries to support encyclopedic overview of the fictional works as artefacts in the real world, and this article makes no effort whatsoever to do that. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Wikipedia is also not a game guide. MER-C 09:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    There aren't any game guide elements of this article. It's pure plot...well, it's a long way from a summary or synopsis. :/ - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 10:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. — TKD::Talk 09:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Changed to: Keep, or Copy to WikiBooks ("Half-Life Fact File" entry) if the consensus to merge, redirect or delete the article is met. While #7 of the section asserts that plots summaries are not welcomed as sole contents of an article, it adds that it "may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger article, or as part of a series of articles per Wikipedia:Article series." Given that this article was created as a result of a split from the Half-Life 2 article (as a result of comments in the article's featured article nomination) (along with other related topics), the storyline article is at least part of Half-Life 2's article series, and should be exempted from WP:NOT.

    Summary of events:

  • Delete, there comes a point when you have to say, "OK, we don't need to have this much information on a subject." Just summarize the plot in the main article/s and accept that Wikipedia is not the place to go into this much detail. Recury 13:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As the Half-Life series has a unified Storyline, having a single article collecting that information is very useful, as it means somebody won't have to scan several pages at once to get the same info. I don't see the point in asking for sources when anybody can just play the game if they want to do so, but I'm sure there are FAQs and Game Guides that include most of the information. Anything else can(amount of detail, connections to the real world), and should be, dealt with in cleanup, not calls for deleting. FrozenPurpleCube 13:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment every article needs to be WP:V sourced; that is non-negotible.--Isotope23 16:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Does every fact in every article need to be sourced? No, of course not. The rigidity implied by your statement of non-negotiability is troubling, because it seems to imply that everything needs complete sources, which is rather silly. The rule of common sense applies. For example, you don't need to find a source to say that the White House is well, White. In this case, you can verify any of the content directly by playing the game. If you don't like that, for whatever reason, though it sounds silly to me, you can easily go over to Gamefaqs and read any number of the Half-life FAQs there. Many of them are quite descriptive as to the Story line. If that's not enough for you, then why don't you identify some of the sections which you find troubling on the article's talk page, we'll see if some sources can be found to establish them. FrozenPurpleCube 17:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, article combines of several Half-Life stories. The majority of the article is encyclopedic, except for some parts. Instead, a cleanup tag should be put, and not deletion. This article definitely does not meet Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. It was split as it will take too much space in the main article. --Terence Ong (T | C) 14:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, if it is not properly sourced, source it! If it needs cleaning up, clean it up! None of these are grounds for deletion. With regard to the ever-ambiguous call to not an indiscriminate collection of information, I would like to remind everyone that we are dealing here with one of the most ground-breaking games ever, which certainly means it deserves more than one single article to deal with everything. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 14:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT. Groundbreaking or not (and I happen to love the game), storylines for games are not suitable article material. No strong opposition to a transwiki, but Wikipedia is not the place for this article.--Isotope23 16:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
So, are you proposing deleting the story-line content from the individual Half-life games articles? That seems to follow from your comment. FrozenPurpleCube 17:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm not proposing any changes to the exising game articles. My personal opinion is that the level of detail in the storylines in many of those articles is excessive... but that is just my opinion. Trust me, I have no interest in going to each of these individual articles and fighting to edit those sections down. I don't agree however with having a separate storyline article just to have redundant information all in one place. I think Alba's suggestion below is a rather good idea if Wikibooks will have this.--Isotope23 20:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, I would agree with you, except for one very big thing. The Half-life series has a unified, on-going storyline, as such, it is important to cover that issue. At the least, the information in this article should be merged, however pruned it may need to be to Half-life series. Since you agree that the information itself belongs in the individual articles, I don't see how you can argue that having it in one single place is a bad idea. Sure, it's redudant, but redundancy is often a good thing. How else would you do it? FrozenPurpleCube 22:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I already explained how I would do it above... I just simply disagree with a series storyline article. Wikipedia is not the place to cover this.--Isotope23 00:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • There's a good compromise that can be made here. The article as is should first be copied to Wikibooks as it is worthwhile but not encyclopedic. A massively summarized version can be merged to Half-Life series, to augment the rather sparse material already on that page. Alba 17:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - As excessively detailed plot summary that is not encyclopedic, which is grounds for deletion. I'm not sure, but I don't think WikiBooks would want this. Wickethewok 17:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I have to disagree. WP:FICT also cites the Final Fantasy X article series, which uses Wikibooks to host information that would less likely merit inclusion in Wikipedia. The contents in Half-Life series storyline are simply plotlines and not game guides or walkthroughs, which I would otherwise suggest deleting or moving to StrategyWiki. The existing but incomplete Wikibooks entry on the Half-Life series would also benefit from a transwiki, and is perhaps the best way to resolve this issue. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 11:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC) ╫

  • Keep The article is interesting and a Mozart opera is clearly a highly notable and verifiable subject; I'd rather see an article about every Mozart character than about every Pokemon character (which, sadly, we have).

[edit] List of Pokémon by stage

Very crufty. I'm fine with having one list of Pokemon, but do we really need six? After all, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Also nominating:

In fact, the only major difference between most of these lists is that the pokemon are organized differently. --TBCTaLk?!? 09:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep some or reorganize, the articles themselves are worthwhile, I think we should merge all of them Pokédex ones, to list each Pokémon and all their dex numbers into one, while List of Pokémon by stage to kept as it is, since it's the only thing that shows all the evolutionary lines of the Pokémon, something none of the other articles do.

  • Keep (Partly) - The National Dex one has to stay, even if its the only one that does. But personally I feel List of Pokemon by stage should stay, it is different enough. As it clearly shows pokemon evolutions all on the same page. National dex order, with the new evolutions of old pokemon, wouldn't do this. But the other three could probably go. They are just technically repeating, even though they have different pokemon/numbers. Gran2 14:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

    It's a good idea to cover the several Pokedexes, as it's perfectly reasonable to assume that users could look articles up using any of them. I can't see a convenient way to merge them into one big list, either. As long as it's reasonable that people are using these to find the information they're looking for, I see no reason not to keep them. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    But why do we have to organize the pokemon in so many different ways? Why can't we just have one list and one method of organization, instead of six different articles that deal with basically the same content?--TBCΦtalk? 17:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    It isn't Wikipedia's fault there are several Pokedexes. The reason the "regional" Poxedexes exist is since the collection mechanic is integral to the games, but not every Pokemon will fit in every game (especially the original Game Boy ones). By having regional Pokedexes, gamers can feel like they "caught them all" even though they only collected the ones in their particular game. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep or merge The different classifications are useful. For example, if someone is only interested in the first generation, there will be no mention of Munchlax or Smoochum and so on. The one by stage is useful too. And by name is quite useful as well, because people are more likely to know the names rather than the numbers. The ones by individual pokedex could be put on the same page. Michaelritchie200 17:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all: I think something some people don't realize is that these aren't just the same lists with all the Pokémon rearranged. The lists contain different sets of Pokémon that can only reasonably be sorted into separate lists. Also, we wouldn't want to merge these lists because then somebody would come along saying that the page is too big and full of unattractive lists. --Brandon Dilbeck 19:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    They regional number lists do have the same content. The only difference is that each have different ways of numbering the pokemon.--TBCΦtalk? 21:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    No no, some of the lists have species of Pokémon that others don't. The issue with merging them all into one list is that you can't choose to view Pokémon from only one set. --Brandon Dilbeck 21:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep (partly): I suggest we should keep the Names and National list, and then simply include columns for the regional numbers. For example, Zubat's would look like this:
№ EN Name JP Name Romanization Trademarked Rōmaji Johto № Hoenn № Shinou №
041 Zubat ズバット Zubatto Zubat 37 63 28
The by Stage list is being discussed on its talk page as not making a whole lot of sense due to lack of sources. DanPMK 20:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with your proposal on merging the lists, though perhaps the Names and National lists could be merged into the table as well.--TBCΦtalk? 21:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge the numerical lists along the lines proposed by DanPMK above. The numerous lists are cumbersome, and, since not all pokemon appear on all lists, having multiple lists actually makes things harder to use: those unfamiliar with the series will assume that each list contains all pokemon, and will consequently be confused when they find a given species missing from a list.
    Please remember that this is a general encyclopedia aimed at non-specialists, not a specialist reference work aimed at pokemon experts! We should present things in the format that is most generally useful, and in this case I believe that will involve consolidating the information so that people need only look in one place to get all the details. — Haeleth Talk 22:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Stage article, Merge Number and Name articles per DanPMK; I would suggest merging them into an article with a title like "List of Pokémon by number" or into the National article. Also, I would like to comment that I was the one who separated these lists in the first place. The reason was that with all these lists - listed seperately, mind you, with a section for National and a section for Jhoto and so forth - made a gigantic and rather cumbersome article. Putting everything on a table and arranging them by either National number or alphabetically would solve that problem rather nicely. --Sparky Lurkdragon 10:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Addemendum: In my haste to explain myself, I forgot my rationale for keeping the Stage list. Well, while the various number lists just present the Pokemon reordered by whatever strange whims the designers had in the different generations (and Jhoto doesn't even have numbers, per se), Stage presents an entirely different set of information, and personally I like seeing the different evolutionary families arranged in an easy-to-see manner. I wouldn't be crushed if the final decision was to add a 'Stage' column to DanPMK's table, but I'd prefer the Stage list to stand on its own. --Sparky Lurkdragon 10:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge per DanPMK. This person's got the right idea. The pokemon would come, most importantly, in National Dex number, while still keeping their other dex numbers. Alphabetical order is completely useless; that was the one that should have been nominated, not National Dex order. The only list left is the by stage. That can be merged onto the Pokémon evolution page, possibly. It can replace the external links on that page (both of which are already obsolete). It is, after all, a chart relating directly to Pokémon evolution. You Can't See Me! 04:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

What I mean is to merge the Dex-ordered articles together in DanPMK's neat little table, merge the Stage list with Pokémon evolution, and delete the Names list altogether, even though List of Pokémon by name was not nominated for deletion (I still don't see why National Dex, the most commonly used pokemon order, was nominated, but not alphabetical order, which is rarely used with pokemon). Hopefully that was less vague. You Can't See Me! 05:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Edit 2: I didn't mean to strikethrough that... You Can't See Me! 05:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Progress on the table: Johto and Hoenn numbers done: User:DanPMK/dex DanPMK 21:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
That really doesn't seem that useful. It seems much too jumbled and the numbers by themselves are pretty pointless. I think it would just be better to leave the other numbers out of the National Dex, and just delete the other Dex pages. If someone wants a number, they can just look at the single Pokémon articles.Nemu 21:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
It can still be useful. Just because it will end up ordered only one way doesn't mean that one should ignore the other ways it can be ordered. You Can't See Me! 23:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
It seems like it'll just cause clutter to me. Take a look at DanPMK's test page. It looks really squished and untidy. If the other pages are deleted, the information just ends up being pointless. If we're going to keep the numbers, we might as well add the types or something.
Indeed, it looks rather clumsy and confusing. The internal Hoenn numbers are there so there won't be blank spaces, but if we add Shinou numbers, there WILL be blanks, since it doesn't have internal Shinou numbers past 151. Adding the types would mean we would have to keep the page one vertical column, or else it would be too wide. This would make it far too long. As of now, the page is very large. DanPMK 06:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The adding the types comment was to show how pointless the numbers are. Alone, they really aren't that important, so if we're going to remove those lists, I think the numbers should just be on the single pages. And just think how ugly it'll look with all of the blank spaces. Nemu 10:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge, failing that, Keep. Listing Pokémon in order they're listed in various games is a reasonable excuse to set up a list in my opinion. Not sure if they warrant their own articles even if it means there'll be a huge article. But I prefer the huge article, or even keeping them as separate articles, to no article at all. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The spreading gibberish comment was as a consequence of your vandalism to the Software patent debate article (which is fragile and messy enough as it is) and the Software patents under United Kingdom patent law article (which I have personally spent a lot of time working on). You added to those articles, which have no clear connection with your cause, prominent discussions of "implicit patents", which is a completely meaningless phrase, and links to your website.
Your trademark case with OHIM against Exxon may well be valid, but does not give you the right to vandalise other pages (particularly patent pages - patents and trademarks are separate and distinct forms of Intellectual property). Also, the fact that you have a trademark victory aganist Exxon does not in any way validate your cause.
I'm still not inclined to be generous and, since I didn't officially vote before:

  • I do not claim nor enjoy a trademark victory against Exxon.
  • My European Opposition against registration of Dell's Community Trade Mark (CTM)was succesful and is fully documented on xxell.com [16], notwithstanding Dell's appeal and strategic countering before Dutch courts.
  • Casus Europa clearly defines implementing of TM-supported firmware computer programs as they link mental processes (like instant 'branding' of this new method of 'implicit patenting') to software programs. Compare the Macrossan Patent-case where the assembly-function of computer programs is discussed.
  • The .E trademark is uniquely self-patenting because there is no way around this business-method other than copying it with less distinctive internet icons.
  • I persist in my oppinion that Dell and Exxon are imposing gibberish and a global threat to fair and independent research, innovation, progress, real change and development and thus being the global cause and main force behind the structural and startegic complexxon of enduring error sustained by information-terror where energy-fundamentals determine foreign affairs and international diplomacy endangering state-sovereignty usually misperceived and dubbed as state-failures: the global P3-tangle of incorporated governance guided by the primacy of economic fundamentalism.

Mr Tychon
I am very sorry that you feel so put upon, and I wanted to write this final comment to try to explain to you why I have been giving such negative feedback. I would reassure you that I carefully read all of your articles and your website before putting forward my vote for deletion. The reason for my voting to delete your articles is not because I do not agree with your point of view, or because I do not think you are correct in your point of view, but because it simply is not possible to understand what you are trying to say. I am afraid that your command of the English language does not appear to be good enough to get your points across and I can see no possibilty of improving the situation.
My first comment, noting that you may not be an English speaker, was intended to be supportive. The fact that English is not your first language should be taken into account and extra effort put into trying to understand what you want to say. I have made that extra effort and still do not understand you. If I may make a friendly suggestion, why not create articles on the Dutch Wiki (I've run a seach under Complexxon, Tychon and xxell and can find nothing), so that you are writing in your own language. When you have a stable and accepted article, I'm sure there would be an opportunity to have it translated into English by someone with a better command of the language.
I am sorry for my error in saying that you had a victory over Exxon, rather than saying that it was a victory over Dell. This was an honest mistake. I have now reviewed the complete decisions in the Tychon V Dell case and the subsequent appeal. As a registered (but non-practicing) European Trade Mark Attorney I am sorry to have to tell you that you clearly do not have a full grasp of intellectual property law and are not qualified to comment on it. For example, I note that OHIM's decision was based entirely on their own reasoning and that very little you had to say was taken into account. Your submissions that Dell had stolen your trademark and had bad advertising practices were completely ignored. Your submissions that your own trademark had achieved recognition were rejected. OHIM rejected Dell's trademark for some of the goods and services under which they had requested it to be registered, giving you only a partial victory. The subsequent appeal (filed by you) was found to be inadmissible because you failed to pay an appeal fee. Apparently, you said that you should not be required to pay an appeal fee. I am afraid that that strikes me as a very arrogant submission to make and I am not surprised that your appeal was thrown out.
In any event, as I mentioned before, your partial victory over Dell only shows that you have previously registered a trade mark that was similar to the trade mark that Dell wished to register. It does not support your point of view expressed in any of the articles that are proposed for deletion.
Finally, as a registered (and practicing) European Patent Attorney from the UK, I can say with utter certainty that there is no such thing as an "implicit patent". [17] There is also no such thing as a global patent. The Macrossan decision in the UK does not support the patenting of computer-implemented mental processes, does not have global importance and the appeal filed by Mr Macrossan has not yet been judged on. A trademark does not give you patent rights and is not a "business method". Having run a search on [ep.espacenet.org], I find that you do not appear to have any granted or pending patents. Therefore, someone can provide exactly the same services as you so long as they use a different trade mark. Your comments on software patents are therefore completely misguided. They also do not appear to have any relevance to the articles that have been proposed for deletion.
In summary, having carefully reviewed all of the materials made available to me, I can make no sense and can see no merit in any of your articles and maintain my vote to have them deleted.

ISBN 0415072387. , "mistress" and "kept woman" are now largely synonymous. There's plenty to say on the subject, too. According to Philippa Levine (2003-07-04). Prostitution, Race and Politics. United Kingdom: Routledge, 301. ISBN 0415944465. , for example, the Commissioner of Police in Bombay was once instructed not to register kept women as prostitutes.

[edit] Missing Information (Half-Life 2 mod)

Article gives no indication of satisfiying WP:SOFTWARE, WP:V, or WP:RS Whispering(talk/c) 12:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, I see no case for deletion here: WP:SOFTWARE is merely a proposed guideline, the article is sourced (and even it weren't, then it would only require sourcing, not deletion) and the links provided certainly do not fail WP:RS, since they include respectable gamesites like Gamespot. Please stick to Wikipedia:deletion policy for reasons that are ground for deletion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The article is not sourced according to the reliable sources criteria (and before you say that's just a guideline, WP:V, which is policy, uses the text); to be truly sourced, the sources have to be inline, but even so, there are only primary sources, which do not match WP:RS or WP:V. Gamespot only offers a download and is therefore not a source (it would count as a web directory in this circumstance. If it actually wrote an article on this mod, that would be different). An article can fail WP:V and be deleted that way if there's no indication that it can meet WP:V. Too many articles on this site already lack sourcing, let's not create more. ColourBurst 00:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, mods are generally not-notable and this one doesn't seem to be an exception. If there is a lack of third-party reliable sources available on the subject that is grounds for deletion, and I'm looking at the article and I'm not seeing them. Recury 13:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. —Wrathchild (talk) 13:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - I'm on the mod team, and all this information is correct. I'm the source, there just isn't a link I can post to that effect. This mod is going places, already popular on certain boards, give it a month or two and I expect it to become very popular indeed with the next release. Please save the article until that time.LaCabra 04:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The problem is that Wikipedia tends to believe more in "first be famous, then have you get an article" kind of thing. For example, I opposed inclusion of Black Mesa, because the thing isn't even out yet, but they have game mag mentions, ModDB awards, alleged commendations from Valve etcetera; who am I to argue against that? People will probably remember them even if it turns out to be vapourware. If Missing Information can't provide such mentions, then I'm afraid we can't really establish the notability. "Certain boards" probably won't help. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The mod only has "public test" version out. Every mod that hits 1.0 release probably deserves an article, but beta-stage stuff is extremely debatable, especially if it has not gotten media attention. Until then, time for a blurb in "List of unreleased HL2 mods" or whatever. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of Arda

Article gives no indication of satisfiying WP:SOFTWARE, WP:V, or WP:RS Whispering(talk/c) 12:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, I see no case for deletion here: WP:SOFTWARE is merely a proposed guideline, the article is sourced (and even it weren't, then it would only require sourcing, not deletion) and the links provided certainly do not fail WP:RS, since they include respectable gamesites. Please stick to Wikipedia:deletion policy for reasons that are ground for deletion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment "Well, it only requires sourcing" ignores the fact that oftentimes sourcing is asked for and people never give them until the article is in danger of deletion (and sometimes never give them at all, because there aren't any). But in any case, unless Planet Annihilation wrote an review of this mod, it hasn't said anything about the mod, it just gave a link for download. That's not sourcing - all of the information from the article still came from the author's own keyboard. ColourBurst 00:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Although still do not think that lack of sourcing is a reason for deletion (if no sources exist at all, that can be reason for deletion of course). I had a closer look and admit that I was not able to find any information in secondary sources for this game. That means indeed that sourcing will be very difficult, therefore I striked my vote for this AfD. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 07:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

    • Oh please, of course it is partly copy/pasted, like are all these nominations. The nominations don't even try to give reasoning for specific articles, just a few calls to a couple of wiki-talk abbreviations. If you would have looked more careful, you would have noticed I actually adjusted my votes for each AfD I voted on (which certainly is not every game-related AfD, just the ones I happened to stumble upon and that have my interest), to fit that particular AfD. And to answer your question: planet annihilation (although no longer updated) is part of Gamespy [20]. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 20:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

      • Comment - I wonder, whether the difference between a "dictionary" and an "encyclopedia" exists simply because the primary medium used is paper? This might be a source of the ambiguity on how to deal with such situations. --HappyCamper 14:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
        • It isn't, and the difference is a simple one: It's the use-mention distinction. dog is a dictionary article about the word "dog". dog is an encyclopaedia article about a species of animal denoted by that word. Uncle G 16:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. HappyCamper, I think the distinction between "dictionary" and "encyclopedia" lies in how they are used, not in the medium. Although the distinction is a somewhat blurry one (people differ in their opinion on just where the line is to be drawn), there is a distinction, and people tend to turn to encyclopedia for certain things while they tend to turn to dictionaries for other things. It seems to me that most people would expect to find this list in a dictionary, not in an encyclopedia. Hence, transwiki. — mark ✎ 15:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sikh diet

There are some concerns that this article might be a cut-and-paste of copyrighted content, see [21]. Additionally, the article seems to be a bit beyond the capabilities of Wiki cleanup. It is at best an essay or opinion piece with spiritual writings. Delete HappyCamper 14:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment - This is not cut and paste but basically quotations of authors, writers, the Sikh Holy texts and others. There were some opinions that were present, but I have deleted them to create a narrative that complies with the NPOV priciples. Please Re-Read before deletion. --Sikh-history 14:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Blank as it does seem this article is not encyclopedia itself, however, since dietary requirements as part of a religion are acceptable in themselves (see Kashut), and I assume that Sikhism has something similar otherwise this article wouldn't exist, so it should have something in Wikipedia. Thus I can't support deletion without the intent to recreate it. Sikh-history I don't think you understand the problem with your article. You may wish to check the Kashut article for a better model. FrozenPurpleCube 15:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete My word, what a managerie of banner boxes this article has! My word, what a awful article that follows them, too! More of an essay/opinion-piece than an encylopedia article. Might be possible to clean it up, but I certainly don't envy whoever takes it on. It would probably be better to start from scratch. See Kashrut for a much better article about religious dietary laws. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Well this is an interesting case. I'm not 100% set on deletion because AfD is not here to take care of content issues, but this is one case where I think the article is so poorly done that completely wiping it out and starting from scratch wouldn't be such a bad idea. Of course if someone wants to do a total (sourced) rewrite before the AfD is complete I'd happily change my opinion to keep. On an unrelated note, it appears the originator is a role account (per the message on the userpage) and should probably be dealt with as well.--Isotope23 16:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - some discussion relating to these pages. MER-C 02:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This is an important issue for Sikhs and for others. To understand dietary habits of Sikhs (and of other religions) is of significance to life and the importance of diet cannot be denied. Diet plays an key role in the lives of all and it is a matter relating to an important religion of the world. Don't you think that the world would be interested to know about the dietary habits of the Sikhs? We have similar dietary articles for Christianty, Buddhism, etc. and so I think if this article is deleted then in fairness those others should also be deleted.
    The article has been vandalised by User:sikh-history who has a set agenda - See his contributions which all only relate to a one-set-POV. He has since 23 September been changing various articles to his POV in relation to diet and Sikhism. He is deliberately changing this article and other so that they are deleted from the database so that this matter is not brought to the attention of the world as this suits his view.
    I suggest that the article is reverted to the version that I created. --Hari Singh 03:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


  • Delete IF Hari Singh insists only on his POV. He is very quick to point the finger at Christians and lable people vandals, when his own point of view is challenged. Sikh scholars agree that meat eating is not an issue within Sikhism, yet Hari Singh keeps on insisting that it is. The article itself has been amended to reflect the views of scholars on this subject yet HariSingh through weasal words insists that his POV be maintained. We are strong supporters of sikh history (warts and all). What we are not in support of is religious fanaticism of users like Hari Singh. We will continue to work with the admins of this site (unlike Harisingh), and strongly support the wikipedia neutral point of view stance. For every Ying there is a Yang. For every action there is a reaction. Keep up the good work and keep fanatics like Hari Singh in check. There is an entire article based on this religious fanatics antics, see http://www.sikh-history.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002038.

[edit] Dakini

This article is completely composed of bogus original research. Dakini is an important concept in Tibetan Buddhism, the author of this original research article has moved a properly researched (though not correctly cited) article to Dakini(Buddhism) to make way for this new age tripe. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 15:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong delete Ekajati (yakity-yak) 15:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge Dakini(Buddhism) back into Dakini. Dakini as it exists right now is unsourced and the fact that there are 2 versions of this article would appear to be a due to content conflict between 2 individuals. AfD is not the solution here & there only needs to be one Dakini article. WP:COOL, WP:CIVIL, and WP:AGF are what is called for here.--Isotope23 16:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The content of the article put up for deletion has no basis in fact. It is completely unsupportable. Also, this is not a dispute between two individuals. The original Dakini article which was moved to Dakini(Buddhism) is the result of editing by multiple editors over several years. It was unilaterally moved and replaced by complete rubbish which is completely made-up and unrelated to any scholarly study of the concept. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 17:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Those last two paragraphs on dakinis in Tibetan tantric practice are (I think) accurate, if unsourced (though I think they come from well-regarded books on Tibetan Buddhism by Reginald Ray). I recommend they be preserved in any merge, perhaps with a request for citations. — Sandover 19:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment exactly. A merge does not necessarily denote that the entirety fo both articles needs to exist in one merged article. What can be sourced from the current Dakini should be retained. What cannot be sourced should be removed from the article as unverified. From the looks of it Dakini(Buddhism) is well sourced and the info there should be incorporated back into the Dakini with a redirect from Dakini(Buddhism) to Dakini. The point is that all of this effort could be boldly done without an AfD; This is a content issue and there is nothing here that needs to be deleted. If there is a problem with this because specific editors don't agree with this course of action or are reverting changes without discussion than this is a situation that needs to be dealt with through a Request for Comment or Mediation. Bottom line, there is really no reason for an AfD here.--Isotope23 19:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete to make room to move the original article back. A.J.A. 17:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, There is no reason to delete to move original content back... that is just a move and requires no deletion.--Isotope23 19:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • So, are you saying I should simply speedy this? So the original article can be moved back? Because the suggested material to be merged was actually taken from the original article and is already in it. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 19:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment you can't speedy it, there is no speedy reason that covers this, but I suggest going to the Admin noticeboard and requesting that an admin undo the move that was done without any discussion. I understand why you AfD'd this now... I forgot about the History.--Isotope23 20:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, there is a speedy reason that covers it, to move back an article that was moved without consensus. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 20:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Under G6? You could try it. I'm not sure this qualified as non-controversial, but you could tag it as such and see if an admin will fix it as a housekeeping move. I'd still explain the situation on AN/I so the admin understands why it is tagged CSD.--Isotope23 20:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. I admit that this is borderline, and that the original article was primarily intended for self-promotion. However, it has since been rewritten, and as such the arguments from the original AFD, for the most part, do not apply. By extension, a comment made prior to said rewrite is used as the primary basis for deletion, and it is equally inapplicable.--SB | T 02:43, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eric D. Snider

This article was originally deleted through this AfD. A DRV consensus decided to overturn the deletion and relist for new consideration. While everyone admired the thoroughness and thoughtful of the previous AfD's closer, consensus held that WP:SPAs had unduly influenced the debate, and that the course of discussion might have changed near the end of the debate. Please consult both the previous AfD and the DRV before commenting here. This debate will be semiprotected to curb spamming. This is a procedural relisting, so I abstain. Xoloz 16:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as WP:VSCA. Blatant self-promotion abuse of Wikipedia. Minor film critic, minor comic musician. I don't see any claims to encyclopedic notability Bwithh 16:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Bwithh. Wildthing61476 17:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I requested the deletion review as I feel the original article can be rewritten to satisfy the concerns voiced here and on the original AfD. I plan to perform this rewrite within the next 48 hours; if participants in this discussion could withhold judgment until that window of opportunity has passed I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Delete per all above.UberCryxic 20:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Article passes WP:BIO on two counts, (notoriety for involvement in newsworthy events, multiple non-trivial published works,) for both his appearance on Dr Demento and the Paramoun Studios controversy. --Roninbk t c # 20:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Not every item in the news media is encyclopedically notable. Much material even from well known mainstream news sources is not encyclopedically notable. The Dr. Demento reference is unsourced and may well be a trivial mention. The significance of even a substantial mention on that show may also be contested Bwithh 22:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Published author with multiple works. That alone should be reason. --NThurston 21:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Not every author is encyclopedically notable. Take a look at 25 cent bargain bin at the discount bookstore next time you pass one. Bwithh 22:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Saw some Shakespeare in there last time I looked.
But that's a very subjective (hence POV) interpretation of notability. I think our general policy is to trust publishers to decide what's worth publishing and what's not, which makes it more objective. Having multiple published books makes someone notable by definition. Period. I don't know what ruler you would use to determine who is a "minor writer." At a minimum, his books sold very well regionally, and he was very well-known locally. --NThurston 20:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Bwithh. --Bill.matthews 00:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Bwithh. Distinctly minor writer who got his not-even-fifteen-minutes of fame by being interviewed briefly on public radio. Meh (and I speak as a regular listener of On The Media). --Calton | Talk 01:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The re-write addresses very well the "self-promotion" problem. The other major issue raised is notability. By all objective measures, his published work - long-running newspaper column and several published books, meet the usual notability standard for authors. Like him or not, he's notable. --NThurston 20:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vyse (talk • contribs) 19:39, October 3, 2006
  • Delete. Despite Alanyst's rewrite, I'm afraid I'm still not convinced of his notability. The article still has some WP:V issues as well. --Aaron 20:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Might not satisfy you on the notability aspect, but I sourced the Dr. Demento stuff to improve verifiability. Are there other WP:V concerns? Alanyst 06:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep He has enough aspects of notability for different reasons to, in my mind, amount to being notable despite the fact that no individual source of notability meets WP:BIO. (I discount the Dr. Demento bit, as unsourced, but if reliably and independently sourced that would be a clear keep per WP:MUSIC all by itself.) GRBerry 03:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Dr. Demento statements are now sourced. Alanyst 06:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The sourcing for the Dr. Demento information is on a student's personal account on Indiana University's computers. Not a primary source. One of his books does come up on Amazon.com, but is not in stock and appears to never have been, given the lack of information. Amazon lists the publisher as BYU, his former university. Do regional-interest books published by universities establish notability? Vic sinclair 10:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Clicking on the Playlists link from www.drdemento.com takes you to the archive at the Indiana University page. This is part of the official page. I had to verify that fact myself, as it looked funny to me too. --Roninbk t c e # 12:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per GRBerry's comments and Alanyst's rewrite. The Paramount banning was certainly newsworthy and got nationwide coverage. Agne 07:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gus Goes to Cybertown

The article does not make a claim as to the notability of the subject. It is also linkless. Vectro 16:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep or create an article on the "Gus" series and merge into that. A quick Googling shows this to be pretty notable by kids' software standards, including such accolades as being selected for the "1994 International Summer Consumer Electronics Innovations '94 Software Showcase". Hurrah. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Can you cite a source for that claim, and can you show us that winning the award is an important achievement in the software world? Keep in mind that just because it won a minor award does not make it notable. Hundreds of works of all kinds win awards yearly, but not all of them are worth making articles for. A game that won Best Shooter of E3? Notable for sure. A game that the Anytown, USA Librarian's Award for Teaching Addition Pretty Well? Not so much. Also, delete, not-notable. ♠PMC♠ 18:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Source is this, which is a cache of the company's press page. The Innovations awards are part of the Consumer Electronics Show which absolutely IS a big deal. For what it's worth, the Innovations are still given out... a list of 2006 honorees is here and includes big names like GE, Kodak, Samsung, and Philips. It's absolutely not some insignificant regional award by any means. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kaytanhousuja

Apparently non-notable Finnish band. No record deal, and they don't even do live music. Instead their music is only available on the Internet.

[edit] Frontera Grill

Seems to be a directory entry with nothing to say of note. I do not know if the restaurant has any notability (perhaps in the US it has), but in any case it would be more appropriate to merge in to the article about the owner (Rick Bayless) - assuming he himself is worthy of inclusion. Emeraude 17:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • But is it the restaurant that's notable (in which case the article needs to say why) or the owner (in which case merge the restaurant article into the owner)? As I said to start with, it reads as simply a directory entry. Emeraude 08:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Here we go again. This article is about a mall which (the article does not say but my oh so fantastic research shows) is in Olean, New York. You can find its website here and convince yourself that this does not belong on Wikipedia.

[edit] Multiple Miggs

Delete. Article is very small and has very little relevance to the Hannibal canon. It is not linked from any other page and has only two categories. He isn't notable enough to feature his own article and his entire character could very easily be summarized in the Silence of the Lambs article.--CyberGhostface 17:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I remember the character from the movie, but can't think of any reason why he would merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. This article can't be expanded beyond its present size, making it almost a dicdef. No reason to merge this anywhere since he wasn't at all important to the plot. ergot 17:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen J. Kopp

Nom & vote ...
Del: John Denver's syrupy tribute notwithstanding, i am pro-WV. But he appears n-n, in heading one of 6 state institutions labeled as "universities" in a state with 0.6% of the US population, 50th in median income, and presumably not an exciting academic system. Did i mention his notability is not asserted, let alone described?

[edit] Pg games

Not a notable games company. Speedy delete (it's a repost) was both deleted and later contested, probably by the same person under a different user name. Google gives very few hits when searching for founder's name + company name [23] [24]. A search for Pg games gives 9,440 hits, but most seem irrelevant. Further claims the article "provides a unique insight into the game making theory and philosophy behind pg games", but it's just a list of home made games. - TexMurphy 17:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Empire of Atlantium

Vanity article for a non-notable fake country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FairHair (talk • contribs)

previous nomination
  • Close as bad faith nom / Keep - FairHair is making this nomination in bad faith, in retribution against User:Gene Poole over incidents related to Conch Republic over the last several days, which have attracted administrator attention [25] and required an ANI report [26]. This article is about a micronation, not a country, and the article is clear in stating that it's a micronation and meets the criteria used for determining if micronations are notable enough. Georgewilliamherbert 18:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment what exactly is the criteria established for Micronation notablity? --- The Bethling(Talk) 07:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC):
reply There isn't an established criteria, there is however a working proposal developed by User:Gene Poole Bo 18:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Exactly. That proposed guideline is what has been used repeatedly to nuke people's web-only, or thought-up-between-high-school-classes, Micronation articles. To meet the criteria, the Micronation has to have widespread press coverage, and a real-world presence of some sort (even if that's souvenier material production). One could posit higher criteria (some sort of actual territory claim) but there seems little point; the ones that have a real world presence of any sort and press coverage is a small enough group, all of which now have WP articles. Very few below that threshold do. Sealand and Hutt River Province are not the only Micronations of note. Georgewilliamherbert 00:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • It's WAR between micronations!! Prince Christopher I of Vikesland also recently tried his hand at provocative brinkmanship against Atlantium over at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Principality_of_Vikesland. As a representative of a non-micronation uh... nation, I'll be renominating Atlantium for afd as something made up in a living room once the little skirmish blows over ( I was going to anyway after Prince Christopher's subtle gambit, but it looks like a Conch Republic operative beat me to it). Ready the peacekeeping forces! Or Delete as not encyclopedically notable and failing WP:NFT if this current afd goes ahead. Bwithh 19:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Micronations are some bullshit. john k 20:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Some micronations on Wikipedia have been noticed (not recognized) by real governments, viz. Sealand, Republic of Minerva. Who are you to say they're bullshit? Gazpacho 03:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, verifiable. Gazpacho 03:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Lonely Planet has recently released a guide to Micronations[27] which includes Atlantium. This book therefore offers both notability and verifiability to many of these pseudo-states.Crico 05:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
That's nice , but Amazon describes that book as a "humourous mock guidebook"[28]. Bwithh 17:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Reply micornations not taken seriously by the vast majority of the world, of course the guide is a mockery! Bo 18:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes it's a humorous mock guidebook, but so are Molvania and Phaic Tan and they warrant a Wikipedia article. WP:NFT states that something made up one afternoon in school can be included in Wikipedia if someone researches it thoroughly and writes a book, academic paper or magazine article about it. The Lonely Planet book does that for many of these places so that should be the end of the argument. It doesn't really matter whether they're bullshit or not. Crico 06:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Molvanian and Phaic Tan are parody creations by professional comic writers. Things like Vikesland and Atlantium appear to be serious creations by amateur eccentrics (to put it politely). Bwithh 17:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. I really have trouble seeing how these micronations are more notable than the "country" my friends created back in high school (perhaps if the web had been around things would different :), and WP:NFT seems like such a natural response. However given the multiple references and the linked article it looks like the Empire has passed my threshold for notablity. -- The Bethling(Talk) 07:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious bad faith nomination. For the record it's also the sixth time it's been nominated since 2002 - having survived all previous attempts - so surely some sort of double, triple (or more) jeopardy rule should apply - otherwise this silliness is going to continue repeating itself every time some noob gets a bee in their bonnet because they don't understand Wikipedia policies and decide that Gene_Poole is the devil incarnate, and the cause of all their woes. --Gene_poole 08:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Canon of Sherlock Holmes

Hm. Well, I don't want to use this word, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. Original research. Perhaps some of the summaries of the "extracanonical" works can be incorporated elsewhere? -- Merope Talk 17:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Reads like an original research essay. Wickethewok 18:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep This is a notable topic and the subject of study for more than a century. Whole books (such as The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes) have been written about the semi-canon material written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but not considered part of the core set of Holmes stories. The article does have somewhat of an essay feel to it due to the signed "conclusion" section, but that's a case for cleanup, not deletion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Further comment According to the Canon (fiction) article, the concept of a literary "canon" originated with Holmes scholars attempts to differentiate the core Holmes stories from the many pastiches, parodies, etc. In other words, Holmes was the first fictional work to be discussed in terms of having a "canon". This further strengthens my already-ironclad opinion that the topic is worthy of an article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Blank and Start Over The subject itself is noteworthy, so I have no problem with that, but I'm not sure of this article. I'd suggest it being part of the main Sherlock Holmes article, but that might take up too much space, so it would be best to keep seperate.
  • Keep for now and cleanup Desperately needs referencing, but as per Starblind, I'm going to give the creator the benefit of the doubt for now. Cleanup, reference, and remove the essay-like "conclusion". If it still lacks references in a couple of months, reconsider for deletion. I don't think this is fancruft by the way. It's far from sufficiently obsessively detailed over trivia. Bwithh 19:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but get rid of the speculative stuff. Stev0 15:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Andrew Lenahan, especially his note about the historical nature of discussing Holmes' canon. This article needs clean up but there is enough there worth salvaging. Agne 07:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep This article needs editing, it is still a little shrill in its appearance. The Ninth Street shows were both real and important to the downtown New York art world in the fifties. As were the Tenth Street galleries and the Whitney Annuals. Modernist 00:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Thank you for appreciating the article. The heading of the article is not clear. There was only one "Ninth Street" Show May 21st to June 10th, 1951. For the first time the public was able to see the best examples of the New York School avant-garde. The "9th Street Art Exhibition" may refer to a collective title of exhibitions on the 9th Street. This article is about one very significant exhibition. There were cooperatives like the Tanager Gallery on 10th Street but it opened later in 1952. The Whitney Annuals were very important but had nothing to do with the "Ninth Street" Show. This show was organized and hung by the artists themselves. It would be inportant to change the heading to "Ninth Street" Show. Marika Herskovic 02:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

non-notable company Andy Andy 18:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC) — Andy Andy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I'd say that it is noteable as there are several people on the list who have since appeared in the series because of their fandom (Tom Morello, Kelsey Grammer, even Stephen Hawking), and the cross-over between fictional series is also noteable - for example, Leonard Nimoy has appeared in the Simpsons, William Shatner, Family Guy, and both plus others in Futurama).

  • Delete as the information contained in the article is unverified. I do not see any reliable sources that have discussed this artist (a myspace site is definitely not a reliable source). Thus, since Wikipedia is not not a webspace provider or an indiscriminate collection of information, this article should be deleted. Notability is not policy, and there are adequate and independent grounds for deletion aside from notability and WP:MUSIC.

  • Weak delete I'm not too clear on UK government structure. Scotland is a nation, so Fife is a first level sub-national unit. It is the logical, but by no means real, equivalent to a U.S. state. It is the real, but not logical, equivalent to a U.S. county. I think the real comparison is more meaningful, especially given the size of the electorate.

The result was keep and merge Stress (original band) into it. The current article was cut and pasted from the 'original band' article so I'm merging the histories too.

[edit] Stress (band)

This is an article about a band which released, according to the article, one LP, one single and one 12"; a CD of their back catalogue has since been produced. It does not appear that their releases were on a major label, as failure to be signed by a major label was cited as the reason for the band folding. The article was very spammy, I cleaned it a bit. I do not see any credible assertion of notability, but it may be that Someone Out There knows of some additional data which will establish the importance of the group.

This nomination was originally closed out of process after no input by User:Parsssseltongue, citing bad faith nomination" (no evidence appears to have been advanced to support this assertion) and has been relisted following a debate at deletion review. Guy 16:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

There is a Range secondary school in Formby, but whether there is a uniform that includes school skirts I don't know, and I wouldn't have thought that Merseyside schoolboys would dress in a skirt for just a Mars bar!

[edit] Cargoitalia

Article about a corporation that shows no evidence of satisfying WP:CORP. Appears to be company doing self-promotion (WP:SPAM).

Valrith 20:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Airlines are generally notable. I looked for newspaper articles about the company, and added two under "References" in this article, which means that it now unambiguously satisfies WP:CORP. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The first of these 'articles' falls into the category of merely trivial coverage as defined by WP:CORP : "... articles that simply report extended shopping hours or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in business directories". The second is inaccessible to me. Valrith 22:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • No, the first article is about 200 words long and is non-trivial. [This] would be a trivial article. The second article is a bit longer, and is also therefore non-trivial. Newspaper or magazine articles which are not available online (or for which free registration is required) are just as valid as those that are available online free of charge. I wish someone had looked up these newspaper stories and added them to the article before the article was prodded. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • As well, please note that both newspaper stories are bylined (that is, they indicate the name of the journalist who wrote the story), which generally indicates that the newspaper story is non-trivial. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I believe the articles amount to trivial coverage as defined at WP:CORP. They are not truly about the airline, they are about schedule expansions of adding particular flights. What we need to have a solid article is independent coverage about the airline, not about a particular flight.

[edit] The Quran and science

The subject of the article fails WP:NPOV--it is an attempt to correlate parts of the Qur'ān with the current paradigm of scientific thought. Fails WP:OR as well. It is interesting, certainly, but it does not belong in an encyclopedia. If it can be salvaged, I'm all for it--however, I think the idea of selectively correlating parts of a text (while ignoring those bits that don't correspond well) cannot adhere to NPOV. -- Merope Talk 21:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe that, should it implement reliable sources and address both aspects of the issue (as Science and the Bible does), it will be an excellent and interesting contribution to the project. It will have to be developed beyond the collection of quotes it currently hosts, but I no longer believe it is a candidate for deletion. Keep. -- Merope Talk 14:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

 :: The article Science and the Bible should also be deleted? Read the introduction of the article that I am creating where it claims that everything in Quran is scientific or correct scientifically?? Secondly I am still expanding it and not yet finished with it. Any comments on its contents will be too early. Let me complete it and then you can delete it. Thats way you will also have more fun with your deletion. BTW I feel some people so biased that they "mark" the article with non-neutral/disputed tag (that says see "talk page") when I just named it and nothing significant was in it . I had seen the talk page it was also blanked at that time :). Now it is nominated for deletion when I am still expanding it. However, I love those people as they encourage me and push me for being better Muslim and do more research about my religion. Thank you. --- ابراهيم 21:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Science and the Bible examines both correspondences, errors and consistencies. It also contains citations from reliable sources indicating that people other than the author have done inquiry into the field. If this article were formatted in this way, I would not have nominated it. -- Merope Talk 22:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
This article will be much better than that. If it servive for few days. However you must kill it early (very first day). --- ابراهيم 22:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Conditional delete. The article will need the same kinds of citations that Science and the Bible has. As it currently stands, there's no indication that this is anything but Original Research. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 21:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I might have lower standards than other contributors here, but the fact that there are now sources added (on the Talk page, which is a start towards incorporating them in the article) is good enough for me. Keep therefore, and with any luck it'll start to look better soon. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 06:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Most of the thing are either from Quran or from corresponding wikipedia science article. Hence most of them are referenced, rest of them are commonly know fact. Now let see your claim is true this article is not referenced. Tell me there are many articles exist in wikipeda with a special tag saying "references/citations need". Why not delete all those dozens of articles? --- ابراهيم 21:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • I think you've misinterpreted me. The citations in this article at the moment are from the Qur'an and that's perfectly ok, since we need the text there as it is. There are also explanations of the scientific processes involved. What the Science and the Bible article has as well as these is a collection of sources where scientists and theologians have examined the compatibility of the two things. This article (at the moment), doesn't. I'm not saying that such sources don't exist, I'm just saying that they're not here at the moment. Without them, it looks more like original research. For example, which "Scientists say that before the galaxies in the Universe were formed, celestial matter was initially in the form of huge gaseous matter or clouds." Likewise, I was under the distinct impression that some planets orbit the sun in an elliptical manner rather than the "rounded course", so a citation would need to be provided here, and so on. In relation to the argument that there are other articles which don't cite sources, the fact that a series of articles of a certain type exist isn't a reason in favour of keeping any particular article of that type. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 22:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
        • About science I am copying most of the things from wikipedia other articles. BTW rounded does not mean perfext circle or ellipse. In rounded both are covered. It is just commonly known fact. I know because it is about Islam so I have to find references about commonly known fact. I also know that you cannot even wait for references for few hours or days. TELL ME that if "Science and the Bible" was in its current shape during very first few hours? Go and see its history. Oh I forget current article is about Islam not about Bible so it should be perfact from 1st minute.--- ابراهيم 22:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • First of all, please understand that no one is attacking you nor the Islamic faith. Secondly, I believe you are still mistaken as to BigHaz's meaning: it is not the science that needs citations, but the correlations between science and the Qur'ān. I could go through the Upanishads and correlate sections of it to scientific thought, but that would be original research. Unless you have evidence that people other than yourself have made these correllations, it fails one of WP's primary guidelines. If you read the Science and the Bible article, all the arguments presented have been published in scholarly works, not contributed by Wikipedia editors. I understand that you say it is a work in progress, but perhaps it should be moved to your personal sandbox until you've brought it up to Wikipedia's standards. -- Merope Talk 22:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
* There are many books written in that subject. However, it is not possible for me (being a human) to cite them all with one movement of my finger. You can search Amazon and other books site for them. How can I cite those books and give reference in just few hours. You are just like the person who visit factory and after seeing tire says "This thing will not work, distroy it". If person like you exist in the world we never have any cars. --- ابراهيم 23:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Nobody's saying that you need to do this in a few hours. AfDs run for about 5 days, which is frequently more than enough time for someone to add sources like this. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 23:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: I want to see where this article goes, actually. Let's give it a fair chance. --Nehwyn 21:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
As a further addition to my thoughts on the matter, I do have to note that there's quite too much original research in this at the moment. And the fact that it will hopefully get better in the future is not a valid argument: when an article is posted, it should be eligible from the moment it is posted, not at some undetermined time in the future. I'm not saying "exhaustive", just eligible. --Nehwyn 13:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is an apology, a defense of Islam. Wikipedia however is an encyclopedia, a record of what people believe, it's not for inviting people to convert to Islam. Now if this article instead listed those arguments that have been used in Muslim apologetics, that would be fine. This article isn't built along those lines, though. Dr Zak 22:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article does not give any opinions. It tell what Quran (with refrence to Quran meaning) says and then what science says (with reference to corresponding wikipedia article). The article is not yet done. --- ابراهيم 22:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Can you please delete it. I will try to work on it at my user space and will post it back after making it much mature. I will try to give both sides view and everything will have reference. At the moment they have started an edit war and adding their own comments. For example -- Ant cannot speak "ARABIC" (just 100% their own comments - like talk page). I already have much less time to work on the article and cannot afford it at the moment. Can some guide me that how can this article be deleted? Danke schoen!--- ابراهيم 08:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Same as Nehwyn, I'd like to see where this goes. It has only been through about 5 hours of editing. Looking forward to a great article. Cheers! zephyr2k 23:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep With a simple google search I found at least a dozen references (which I have added to the article talk page) for the correlation between Quran and science. This article definately has value and I look forward to seeing it developed more. Ratherhaveaheart 23:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    •  : See I have to work on other things too and do not get lots of free time to work on wikipedia. In order to improve the article I want to do following two things. Firstly, I will ask some other people in wikipedia to contribute (as they are good in this subject). Secondly, I will issue books from library. However, it depends that when I will have free time again (may be after a week). Lastly, I think when more people will know about the article then it will improve significantly. Because few will add criticism and other will defend it with references at the end we will have a healthy article (that what is wikipedia about). This all CANNOT be done in 5 or 10 days under the hanging sword of article-deletion deadline. --- ابراهيم 00:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I'd say, either nominate Science and the Bible for deletion, or get sources for this. Keep Danny Lilithborne 01:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Although there are different views on what the Qur'an states about various scientific principles, this article will probably cover them in time. This AfD nomination was made much too soon. BhaiSaab talk 01:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment: As it stands now the article is an apology of Islam. It's a good thing that you invite other people to work on it, and the work already done is a good basis. However, you know (or by now you should know) what the rules are. There's nothing forbidding you from working on a preliminary acceptable version of the article outside Wikipedia, or in your own userspace. I'd be happy to help, but the article is original research (your own ellaboration) and I'm not familiar with any reference works that could be used in this case. For now, no vote, but I'm afraid the article cannot stand as it is now, as it violates policies that are at the core of Wikipedia. If it does get deleted, you still have the right to ask that a copy of the text be restored outside of article space for your own use, so you can eventually make it conformant to WP policies and re-create it.
Comment 2: The above observation by Danny Lilithborne is simply not a valid argument. "If you delete this, why don't you delete that" is possibly the single most posted opinion in AfD, but it never works, and it only messes up the process. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 01:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment I'm very aware of that. However, I think it works in this case. Deleting an article that just needs citations and clean-up to be encyclopedic is not appropriate, and deleting this but leaving the Bible article conveys a clear double-standard. Danny Lilithborne 01:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment. There is a very clear difference between the two articles, though: one examines the relationship between science and scripture (both correllations and discrepencies), and one selectively interprets passages in scripture to show that they are in agreement with scientific thought. If we were drawing analogies, this would be similar to an article about Creationism that only listed verses that could be interpreted to agree with scientific finding. The fact that the creator has stated within this AFD that the article "claims that everything in Quran is scientific or correct scientifically" further adds to the article's underlying POViness. -- Merope Talk 02:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment "I said "WHERE" it claims that everything in Quran is scientific or correct scientifically?." It had a different meaning then what you have understand. --- ابراهيم 09:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment So put a POV tag on it. It's not like the creator owns the article. Danny Lilithborne 02:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep As it stands, this article needs a lot of work, however, in principle, I can't find a reason to object to it other than it will be difficult to do properly. However, it is not necessarily impossible to do so, and I'd prefer to wait at least a month, see if it gets anywhere close to the Bible article. FrozenPurpleCube 02:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Must DELETE POV and the original research. Better place on Islampedia.Opiner 03:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
The subject matter is very interesting, and it need not be an apology of religion, as long as it shows divergences as well as consistencies. At present, the article only mentions consistencies (with the macroscopic exception that I added), so I do agree there is a big POV going on here, and quite a lot of original research too. --Nehwyn 13:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

      • In the last few AfD's I have participated in this same argument is put forward "the other side is just having his friends come and help him". First I think there should be more faith in the WP Community. Lots of people contribute to these debates, many people who just want to help improve WP and have no connection what so ever to the article in question. Furthermore it is an ad hoc attack to focus on the personalities of the contributors rather than the substance of the debate. I personally peruse the AfD's and participate at on anything that catches my eye. When generalities are made about the contributors of a debate that do not apply to me at all, I feel a bit insulted. Ratherhaveaheart 16:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
* Comment: I only asked them to contribute in the article and not asked them to vote here. I even continue asking same people to contributing in the article even after their vote here. Only three people vote here after I ask them to contribute (you can find their ratio from total votes). I even ask Pablo-flores to contribute. I never know him before here; he is not my old friend. Furthermore, it makes no sense to ask people to vote because it will inform those people too who will vote against you. I am more intelligent than that. --- ابراهيم 19:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Ibrahimfaisal's source would appear to be this deeply misleading speech by Zakir Naik, which he posted to several user talk pages prior to the creation of the article, but is uncited in the article. I can't say how Mr. Naik feels about this, but it looks like plagiarism if not also a copyright violation. A check at the creators' contribution history shows that several of the votes above were indeed solicited from editors who had no prior involvement with the article, but which Ibrahimfaisal had reason to believe would be favorable to the notion advanced in the article. It is not only uncited, but essentially false in its exegesis (and, in a few cases, translation) of the passages in question.Observation Post 05:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC) — Observation Post (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep — but fix. All of the empty sub-sections should be removed until something is ready to go in.
There is a problem with analyzing scripture in that the meaning is not always clear. It could really use sources, especially when it is drawing a conclusion between a particular scientific fact and an particular reading of the Quran.
This is not an apologia. Pointing out correlations between scripture and science in not by definition apologetic. Such correlations do not validate the veracity of either side.
The obverse is not true. Religious beliefs that run counter to science are nothing more than superstition. Scientific conclusions about theological points represent nothing more than the hubris of scientists making the a priori assumption that the entirety of experience must fit into a materialistic model.

  • Delete. Appalling pseudo-science, either based on WP:OR or sourced contravening WP:RS.

  • Weak Keep As it stands today it deviates considerably from the approach taken by the Science_and_the_Bible article. There are a number of related articles WRT the bible e.g, Bible_scientific_foreknowledge and Biblical_inerrancy both of which should be templates for any similar examination of Islamic doctrine (or rather Islamic apologetics). I've looked at the article and I'm really worried it'll just keep poping up as an AfD if the edits taking place stay in the same style. Though I may seem anti- my first approach to arguments are through reason. It should also be renamed to Science and the Quran to be consistent with the approach taken with the Bible. Islamics must realise; the world have been-there-done-that with respect to infallible-word-of-god-and-science (TM). There is nothing new being argued here. Ttiotsw 09:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Nowaday many researches are directed toward that field in which correlation between science and holy books take place so we should give the place for such an article that may be an interesting one and it like the approach taken by Science_and_the_Bible article but any theory in this article should be strenghted by a reference .Delengar 12:51, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Move This article should be moved to a book page The Bible, The Qur'an and Science as the article gives "French born Saudi royal physician" Maurice Bucaille 's book as a source for these theories. I might mention that the arguments listed on the page as so preposterous as to hardly be worth refuting, for example the line where it says the "heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them" allegedly refering to the Big Bang. Do we need to even mention that that Earth did not exist at the time of the Big Bang.--CltFn 04:14, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Completing incomplete nomination by User:Legolost. Keep, see no reason to delete. It's got a couple of red links, so it's not a copy of the category. TimBentley (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National symbols of Pakistan

Completing incomplete nomination by User:Siddiqui. We have List of official United States national symbols and National symbols of Canada, so I don't know why this should be deleted. Merging would be preferable to deletion regardless. TimBentley (talk) 21:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:WEB. Pan Dan 01:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep For heaven's sakes this is one of the most popular web sites of Brazil. Some of the charges made into television. I agree the article isn't very well done, but I feel offended for the nomination for deletion, and it makes me wonder if nomination for deletion should only be allowed for adimns. algumacoisaqq 22:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. Being "popular" isn't a reason to be in an encyclopedia. If you can show me why this is notable per our guidelines (i.e. passes WP:WEB), then I will be happy to change my mind about whether this article should be kept. Pan Dan 23:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, personaly, I believe that being popular IS a good reason, but whatever, it's just my opinion. Acording to [31] tought, the site was choosen as "site of the year", as is visited by 120.000 people every day. Too bad it's in portuguese, as it is pretty much all material about it (not much I found, but not much I researched). What I can report you is that at every Sunday, at the sports program of TV Globo (by far the largest one in Brazil), there is one charge featured every week. The author also made some animations for the Big Brother (Brazil) show. The site was reviewed in Veja magazine, one of the biggest in the country. The author appeared in the television show of Jô Soares, a similar show in Brazil to David Letterman's or Jay Lenno's. Hell, in Brazil, the site is probably more visited then Wikipedia (and probably a LOT more then the Portuguese Wikipedia). But links and stuff? Sorry, I don't have. All the information in the article is easily accessible from the site - you just have to speak portuguese. Well, the informations on the article. The ones I posted here can't go for the article because I don't have links to prove it. They are true, tought. algumacoisaqq 00:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC) Also: I know the article lacks quality and such, and it's hard for people from outside to know about it's importance just from looking at it. But it could have being asked, I don't know. This isn't the first, or the second (well, it's the third) article for deletion that I see complaining about web based stuff, when it just shouldn't.
        • Given that there are sources in Portuguese, perhaps this would be a good article to write in the Portuguese Wikipedia? To be in the English Wikipedia there have to be (I suppose) sources in English, or translated into English. Pan Dan 14:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
          • It allready exists in the Portuguese Wikipedia. Look, if you think the article lacks the quality to be on wikipedia, then just delete it, because it has been a long time ago since I wrote it and to be honest I have no interest in researching english fonts just to prove my point. I'm just saying that I know about the wikipedia rules - I used to be a regular contributor in Portuguese wikipedia - and there is no reason to delete this article at all. The thing is that I'm not interested to continue to maintain that particular article, so if you think it should be deleted for the lack of sources, fine by me (oh well, not really fine, I'll be pissed off, but whatever, at least I won't complain). The thing is that, as far as I know, all the info in the article is just to bloody obvious to be quoted from sources (yeah, I know, I need to read the "no original resource" rule again... but I just think that rule is flawed). Besides, I believe English wikipedia has the most resources about this subject in the English language. algumacoisaqq 17:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
            • Well, I just read again these rules (verificability, no original research). It looks like they are a lot more important now then they used to be. I didn't found any mention about language, tought. I still believe all info can be found inside the site (the site being a primary source, is it possible?), it's just that it is in Portuguese. Oh well, I'll see if anyone from pt.wikipedia is interested in fixing it. algumacoisaqq 18:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Knots per sq cm

I don't see how this article about something that's not very important can be expanded any further. Joiz. A. Shmo 22:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Being generous and Googling knots+"square cm"+carpet, I get about 400 results (85 unique), which at least shows the concept exists, but doesn't give much reason for there to be a separate article on this rather than a mention at carpet (when I first saw the article title, I thought this was going to be about a weird unit of some kind of velocity flux). Confusing Manifestation 01:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename — Suggest renaming this to "Knot density" and covering the topic in general. There are several different measures of knot density in use, including knots per square inch, decimeter, meter, &c., so one article that covers them all would be good. Alternatively it can be merged with carpet. — RJH (talk) 18:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Odd. It reads like its original research personally. Where's the sources for what is considered high/mid/low quality carpet? Suggest Merge to rug making. But if someone doing the merger can't find any sources for this stuff (which, again, sounds like original research), might as well just redirect and leave a note on rug making's talk page about the content about the fate of the content that wasn't sourced at all.

[edit] Hypocoristics for Dutch names

This article is apparent WP:OR with no potential references found via search -- zero hits for the title search terms. The creator defends the inclusion of this article on the basis that Hypocoristics for Spanish names exists and suggests that removal would exhibit anti-Dutch bias. It's not my intent to be anti-Dutch, but I'm pro-project-policy. Erechtheus 23:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete but I remain pro-Dutch ;-). Non-encyclopedic; this is not a name directory. I'd say delete for Hypocoristics for Spanish names as well for the same reason, but as it has not been nominated for deletion I'll leave it at that. Agent 86 23:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I initially thought I'd nominate both as well, but they're not on equal footing. The Spanish article might not be appropriate for the encyclopedia, but it at least has sourcing. I certainly wouldn't object to an AfD on it, but I think it would need to be separate for the sourcing reason. Erechtheus 23:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: This article is not a "directory" of any kind. If anything, it is a glossary. 'mikka (t) 02:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to List of Dutch pet names, perhaps? --Dhartung | Talk 00:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Nope. The topic is encyclopedic, see below. `'mikka (t) 02:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: "pet names" is ambiguous: think about Snoopy, Fido, Garfield, and you see my point. Carlossuarez46 02:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • keep. The title is descriptive rather than some specific term, and absence of google search is meaningless. Lack of references is not big deal. We are not talking about something controversial here. I am quite sure there are quite a few Dutch namebooks in existence. Gogling for "dutch names" gives quite a few thoussands of google hits. I have found the article interesting: it shows a pet name formation distinct from, say English, and it may well be made in a solid article; examples exist, see eg [33] (not exactly on topic; just to show encyclopedic potential, and interesting, too; quoting: "For someone just starting Dutch research, a Dutch name is like a foreign word."). `'mikka (t) 02:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • OK here is even a more solid one: "DUTCH NAMING CONVENTIONS". So I guess the nomination was done in great haste without making reasonable check. `'mikka (t) 02:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment. Before you go around making accusations about the lack of a reasonable check, please explain to us how the personal webpages you have located pass WP:RS. Erechtheus 03:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
        • they pass WP:CommonSense. Once again, this is not some conspiracy theory or political rumors you may expoect fraud or fantasy. I am taking back accusations and apologize, since I see the nomination is based on genuine personal understanding of wikipedia. Still, I have to disagree with you, colleague, sorry.`'mikka (t) 19:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment "Quite a few Dutch namebooks in existence". You must be kidding. I was inundated by books every time my wife was pregnant. Well, many English, French and Russian names are now frequent and current in the Dutch language area, and some of these names are subject to "shortening" that would sound very strange in the original language. Dominique is shortened to Niek (also the shortened form of Nikolass) when the child is a boy, to Dom or Dommi when it is a girl. Tanja becomes Tan - in Belgium at least. Evelyn in all forms and pronunciations is shortened to Evy or Evie. "Kat" (yes, it also mean cat) can stand for many female names, and is rather awkward when you have a daughter called Kathelijn AND a daughter called Katja (like I have). While in the Netherlands only the female short forms are used for official registration at town hall (Cor or Neel are officially Conelis but Neeltje is registered), in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium the short forms are also registered for boys. So, this article can actually be expanded a "little".--Pan Gerwazy 13:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment to comment: "you must be kidding": no I am not. "quite a few" in English language is a politically correct way to say "a whole shitload of truck of these bloody books about baby names" `'mikka (t) 19:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Comment to comment to comment: Sorry, Mikka, but really, I was only kidding when I wrote "you must be kidding". Actually, I thought it was a nice pun on the word "kid". Does not sound so funny anymore when I read it all over now, of course. :<) --Pan Gerwazy 10:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dave zelenski

Delete. This person is non-notable -- according to IMDB, he has had only one minor film appearance (so far) as "Teenage Passenger" in the 2005 movie, Reversal of Fortune. That role appears 25th on IMDB's list of credits for this movie. Google generates only 9 unique hits, all unrelated, for "David Zelenski", and 14 unique hits for "Dave Zelenski", some related, some un-related. Hopefully for his sake, he'll go on to have a great career and look back and laugh at us for our folly, but for now I just don't think this article is justified.

  • Delete. There are no sources cited and the article does not indicate notability. No references found in an Australia New Zealand database. A Google News Archive similarly fails to find reference to this church. Capitalistroadster 02:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - No references, no assertion of notability. No prejudice against creation if it becomes notable. Andjam 05:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I just had an edit war with an IP who insists in removing the afd notice. MER-C 07:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. Yes, it seems that parties are quite motivated to remove the notice and/or blank this AfD page. Two have been issued blocks so far. Erechtheus 07:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment: The removal of the AfD notice persisted from multiple ips, so I've semi-protected the article for now. - Longhair\talk 08:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - What constitutes a notable church? It should be more than the building... Google may not tell you all that much either. I vote to Keep until criteria for church notability are established. (JROBBO 09:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC))
    • Reply It's not an official policy, but I try to approach churches as if they were elementary schools (they have about the same density) and apply the schools policy to them. That's just me, though. - Richfife 19:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete no assertion of notability whatsoever. Lankiveil 12:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete parishcruft. Carlossuarez46 02:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but edit. While the current revision only contains information about the current activities of the church it is my understanding that it is significantly notable in the history of the town. Jasonb 12:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, I question the consistency of deleting this article when by the same criteria (claims of notability, references), the following articles from the same category should be deleted and they have been allowed to remain: Crossway Baptist Church, Collins Street Baptist Church, Diamond Valley Baptist Church. Jasonb 12:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply Wikipedia is extremely large (well over a million articles). Hundreds, if not thousands, of new articles are added every day. The editors are not always able to spot inappropriate articles in a timely manner, but we're working as fast as we can. We'll look at the articles you pointed out with an eye towards deletion as soon as possible. - Richfife 15:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Note I put Crossway and Diamond Valley up for deletion, but not Collins (because of its association with a notable minister). - Richfife 16:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as the article failes WP:V. If the church is notable then there should be sources out there that interested editors can base their articles on. If such sources don't exist, then it's a case of original research. Mako 12:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I think there are sources that are not online such as the Sale Historical Society which will point out the article's historical notability. I am happy to look at these sources (and cite them appropriately) in an attempt to bring the article up to standard. I would also appreciate pointers in doing so since I'm new :-) Malcol13 13:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC) — Possible single purpose account: Malcol13 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.
    • Malcol13 is not a "single purpose account", he's just new. Leave him alone, how would you feel? give the guy a break, he's got a throat infection at the moment too. Nath85 05:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I would also like to add that: The reason I hadn't previously created an account is because I did not see a need. All the articles I had viewed were generally complete, or not being challenged. Such a great sense of community here I must say, you target new users and assume things about them. Just because I found an article of interest to me, signed up so I could help out, you say i have created a "single purpose account", that's not very nice. I am actually a little disappointed by the wiki community, or part of it at least. If I see a need to help edit another article in the future, then I will, but as yet I do not see that need. I hope you can accept my proposal... Malcol13 06:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Even non-notable churches have their place at Wikipedia. --Kf4bdy talk contribs 16:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep This Article should stay, but more about the church's history should be included 220.238.233.199 06:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wooltonian

This is a non-notable nickname for the residents of a dorm. The 34 unique search hits do nothing to augment notability. Erechtheus 23:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Julia Oberon

No sign of notability given. Prod removed twice. Google garners 20 hits for "Julia Oberon" [34]. IrishGuy talk 23:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Nope, not notable. - Richfife 00:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete up-and-coming model until she ups and comes. --Dhartung | Talk 00:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - her most 'notable' thing thus far seems to be that she's 'close friends' with one person who has their own article... --Mnemeson 01:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable. Vanity --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 01:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete She is UP and Coming! I made this article to pay homage to someone who is up and coming. She was on the cover of Spanish Vogue too! That's a big deal! She's signed with several MAJOR modeling agencies and she's on their websites! You guys need to calm down! Also, she is related to one of the world's most classically famous actresses, Merle Oberon.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
    • Reply Here's the thing: Wikipedia is absolutely, positively, 100%, do not pass go, do not collect $200 NOT for "up and coming" anything. If you're not notable right now, then the article needs to wait until you are. Wikipedia is not for raising someone's profile. It's for documenting people that already have a high profile. And Julia Oberon does not. - Richfife 04:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Addition Be it good or ill, I tracked down a link to a scan of the cover of the August 2004 Vogue. Is this her:[35] I have no idea. Does it mean she meet notability requirements? Probably not. The picture doesn't mention a name (as far as I can tell) and is more about the clothes and makeup than the model. - Richfife 04:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply Yes, that is her, and the fact that she was on the cover of a very prominent magazine, regardless of content -IS- important. She is up and coming in the USA, she is well known in many other countries as well. She has a huge fan base in Japan. Also, the fact that she is distantly related to the famous actress Merle Oberon should be enough to qualify her as notable. People are interested in these types of things, even though you don't seem to think so. Why would anyone use Wikipedia as an outlet to boost their notority? This isn't exactly People Magazine. And please, don't refer to *me* as if I was her. That's pretty presumptious and inncorrect.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
      • Reply A couple of things. 1) The Merle Oberon connection is meaningless. I'm the second cousin once removed of the inspiration for the title character of Rain Main, the grand nephew of the junior Senator from Utah and the son of the head of the math department of University of Utah (these three facts are all true). Being someone's relative isn't meaningful. Even if she was, Merle Oberon isn't all that famous. Sorry. 2) If she was well known, there would be google chatter about her. The internet loves models. No fansites, nothing. Google is worldwide, but there are no matches for her name in any Japanese website. Wikipedia entries have to verifiable and notable. Julia Oberon is not. Why would someone use Wikipedia to boost their notability? The same reason they write their name on walls. - Richfife 07:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Reply Then just delete it and get it over with. The nerds are obviously the majority here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
