[edit] Robert Blair, Minister

User:Tony164 has added this article and several other ministers to Wikipedia recently. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem very important, with no real achievements other than "having been a minister." I think this falls under WP:NOT, as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a geneological record. -Elmer Clark 00:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following pages on ministers for the same reason:

• James S Johnstone, Minister
• Robert S Calderwood, Minister -Elmer Clark 00:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Robertson, Minister below. -Elmer Clark 00:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Please keep as I have checked WP:NOT The only criteria that might possibly apply is the one forbidding formless collections of information. These all relate to the the sometimes tempestuous history of a significant parish in Scotland (meaning the people and events are well in the mainstream of Scottish history and not replicated elsewhere). In that, they give exemplary life to broader treatments elsewhere. John Robertson and James Meek wrote siginificant historical documents - still consulted today. Others to be added have had similar significant impact on the history of Scotland in turbulent times. The others you mention (Blair, Houston, Calderwood) are I admit there to fill in the historical record, but this is not formless or meaningless. I have not yet tracked down the criteria for "notability" and will have to take your advice on this, but I would have thought that the sharing of this sort of well established historical knowledge is just what Wikipedia does best. I appreciate not everyone is interested in history, especially local history, but loads are. It's not all pub quiz material! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony164 (talk • contribs)
• Keep and cleanup as these appear to be referenced. Or maybe a merge somewhere might be an interesting thought. JYolkowski // talk 00:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete Why is he notable? Could this be a hoax? Arbusto 01:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all per above. Ultra-Loser ^{Talk | BT sites} 04:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but move to Robert Blair (minister) and do that for all the other nominated articles (or failing that, Redirect/merge) - Certainly wouldn't delete all. Not entirely sure how notable this minister is but I certainly think the general subject matter is of historical and encyclopedic interest. The page is linked to from Cambuslang clergy, and it looks like the user may be trying to eliminate redlinks one by one? Work seems to have started only a couple of weeks ago, and although it's stalled since then, I'd like to give the editor (User:Tony164) more time to expand it. If nothing comes of that, I'd merge the content back into the main Cambuslang clergy page. --DeLarge 09:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all - random Scottish Vicars are not notable. --Mnemeson 11:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete None of it meets WP:BIO, as far as I can see it lists 7 lines telling about his life, and then one line saying he translated a bible. Not notable. Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 12:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (and perhaps move as per DeLarge): The guy was not a random minister, but an author and translator and theologian. Read please the article to the end before voting :-) --Ioannes Pragensis 12:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I did read the articles, and researched them. Robert S Calderwood has his notability asserted as publishing. Googling (which is almost certainly not the best way to research this, but the only simple way) the Patriotism coronation address for which he was apparently known turns up one single result - the WP article. James S Johnstone's big thing was introducing gas lighting to his Church, and riding around "in a large black cloak". I personally don't feel that hymn translation is a notable activity. Bible translation potentially is, but Robert Blair wasn't doing it alone, and I doubt it had a very large effect on the number of people who could access it. At best, give him a line in an article about translation of the bible. Ergo, my vote. --Mnemeson 13:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Robert Blair, and move per DeLarge. Being a part of the team that translated the Bible into Scottish Gaelic strikes me as a significant enough achievement, and per WP:BIAS translating the Bible into a small minority language is no less significant than translating it into English or French. Weak delete on the other two unless a further case for their notability is made out. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Blair per Smerdis of Tlon, Delete Johnstone & Calderwood. The Cambuslang clergy page is also suspect; this is just a history of ministers in basically one parish, not a history of Christianity in Scotland. I could see individual churches in Cambuslang being notable, individual clergy being notable, but I don't see the global view in having a local church history. --Dhartung | Talk 14:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete unless it is shown that role in translation of the Bible into Gaelic was big. Otherwise, it appears his contribution was a collaboration. Jcam 14:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per above. Eusebeus 16:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete per Jcam; the only notable thing about him is his bible translation; without some showing that he had some major role in that, he's just another non-notable priest. Carlossuarez46 00:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• CommentPlease note that I have started a discussion topic at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) to create a standard for notability of religious leaders. Some should have articles, if, for instance they are an official of their denomination churchwide, or they started some important movement, wrote widely used hymns, or were notable in ways special to religion. They probably should not have an article if they were just a typical priest, rabbi, or mullah serving a local group. We have such standards for Porn actors and sports figures, and it would save a lot of argumentation. I have also started a discussion for standards of notability for individual churches, also seen all the time in AFD. We have a standard for schools, so why not for churches. Edison 20:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. To English speakers Blair's work might not seem particularly important, but it sounds like he made some important contributions to Gaelic literature. He held some fairly important posts and wrote for a newspaper. I wouldn't say that any one thing is particularly notable but overall it seems enough to be worth keeping. RickReinckens 08:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - This article's nomination for deletion should be a lesson in writing good articles. The article simply presents Robert Blair using a series of bland general statements about his life that fail to convey the importance of his contribution to society. The article needs to be rewritten to highlight Blair's contributions (his editorial and translation work), to explain the importance of his work, and to de-emphasize the bland biographical information (such as the exact dates of when he got married, when he moved to Edinburgh, etc.). Otherwise, it is going to look like the biography of an unimportant minister. George J. Bendo 12:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per Mnemeson. --Buridan 23:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete does not meet WP:BIO criteria. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 01:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete James S Johnstone, Minister. Non-notable. Not encyclopedic. (Also, middle initial needs a period.) RickReinckens 08:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, all articles are properly sourced and thus verifiable. WP:Notability alone is NOT a criterium for deletion. Wikipedia is also NOT a paper encyclopedia. The articles are encyclopedic and verifiable. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am extremely confused by this and a couple similar comments at the AfD for the other minister I nominated. Since when is the rule "if it verifiably exists, it's in??" A huge proportion of the deletions at AfD are non-notable bands, vanity pages, etc - these people/bands do verifiably exist, but they are so obscure that there's no real benefit to having them. Do you support keeping such articles? Would you support keeping an article about me, a humble and insignificant student, were I to create and source it? I realize WP:NOTABILITY is not official policy, but the idea of having no notability standards whatsoever is pretty bewildering... -Elmer Clark 20:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply: First of all, there is a big difference between an article about an obscure band with its only source being a Myspace account and an article about minister which is sourced from a reputable book about ministers. In the first case the source is created by the band itself, in the second case a secondary source already considered the minister important enough to include him in the book. Secondly, I am no big fan of the whole notability concept (which, I keep saying, is not official policy), mainly because it introduces a big bias towards American topics. I've seen people nominate very well-known asian artists for example, and even vigorously defend their AfD when confronted with evidence. All because this person was not "notable" (meaning they never heard of it). So, im my book, notability alone is a too slippery slope to be the only reason for deletion, ever. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 07:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Robert Blair, Minister. Ministers were more important further back in history than they are today. Gaelic translation activities may be sufficiently noteworthy to meet WP:BIO, and in my eyes, for now are adequate reasons to keep. Delete James S. Johnstone, Minister and Robert S Calderwood, Minister - no assertion of encyclopedic notability. GRBerry 03:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Blair for his literary contributions (but cleanup the article); deletethe other two for failing to meet WP:BIO. Sandstein 07:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, as failing WP:BIO. If we could verify the idea that he was a major factor in the Bible translation, I might be inclined to reconsider. - Tewfik^Talk 17:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notd aftermath

This is what happens when you don't watch your deleted pages. This was previously deleted in one of my most emphatic nominations at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notd aftermath. The reasons why this page was recreated is given at Talk:Notd aftermath, but in addition to the article, this is a multiple nomination. The further articles are nominated:

• List of NOTD Aftermath items
• NOTD Aftermath history
• NOTD Aftermath weapons
• NOTD Aftermath Zulus

NOTD is not a notable mod. A google search for "NOTD Aftermath" gives 100 unique links. The only assertion of notability is that it made the "spotlight map" on http://battle.net , note that spotlight maps occur once a week. - Hahnchen 00:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Damn Small Linux

Prod tag removed without comment, no evidence is provided that this linux distribution is any more notable than any other.--Peta 00:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Arbusto 01:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep common enough, though the article needs cleanup; not a great set of statistics, but DistroWatch ranks it above Slackware and Debian in lookups over the past year. Opabinia regalis 01:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Damn Small Linux is perhaps the most well-known Linux distro for business-card CD's and USB thumbdrives. I see it as notable. However the article could certainly do with a clean up and a trim to make it more focused. But I don't think slapping a 'prod' template on the article and now listing it here on AfD is the proper way to motivate people to fix the article. Even if it does result in a cleanup, there are other ways to achieve that result. This is just a waste of time. Imroy 04:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Extremely strong speedy keep. Damn small linux is the most popular micro linux distro, with a rank of 7 on distrowatch (which means, to all of you non-linux-geeks, that it's the seventh most popular linux distro). It's more popular than Slackware, Gentoo, FreeBSD, CentOS, and Debian itself. Ultra-Loser ^{Talk | BT sites} 04:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment while I agree this should be kept, a rank of 7 on DistroWatch doesn't make the 7th most popular distribution; just the 7th most popular distro page on their site. They're not measuring actual usage. Opabinia regalis 06:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep So-called Portable software is a growing phenomenon as small flash drives increase in capacity and more and more consumer electronics (video game consoles) evolve towards becoming full-fledged desktop computers capable of running alternate OSes. Invariably the content can be expanded as popularity (and enquiries) increase in frequency. Currently there is no portable software article, btw. --Neo 09:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep "any more notable than any other" would make it notable enough. Only, I'd rename the article to DSLinux personally. --Kitch ^{(Talk | Contrib)} 12:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: We already have a DSLinux article. They don't appear to be the same distro at all. --Aaron 21:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Even if DSLinux didn't already exist, that name is simply wrong. The distro is called Damn Small Linux, and so should the article. Using an uncommon (and ambiguous) shortening of the name is inappropriate. --Imroy 02:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep, quite notable as one of the premiere compact linux distributions. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 13:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep Damn Small Linux is a rather widely used disto. It is just as deserving of having its own page as say Gentoo. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 14:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep - Probably the most notable non-commercialized Linux distro there is. I do agree that the article could use a little more notability evidence. -- Plutortalkcontribs 15:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• keep keep keep heqs 17:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems plenty N to me. --Aaron 21:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Damn Small is certainly a notable enough distro to warrent keeping. It's one of the few distros created solely for use on really old computers. Infact, it was the first Linux distro I ever used. BWF89 00:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Texas Baptist College

Delete per no notability. An unaccredited "college" that offers "degrees" in subjects like "Secretarial Studies". I can't find a figure on how many people attended, but I assume its small since the church, Longview Baptist Temple that operates it claims that the church has 3,000 members. Moreover, looking at their website the Bob Gray, "founder" of the college, is constantly referred to as "Dr." without mentioning his doctorate is honorary and from Hyles Anderson College (an unaccredited institution.) This is telling of some problems of WP:V on its website. I get 3,000 yahoo hits for "Texas Baptist College" which included this article and places not related to this subject. Could be a diploma mill or could be a great school either way it lacks WP:V. Arbusto 01:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete, though I honestly could not care less about this school one way or the other, I would point out that though it is unaccredited it still has had students, at the same time it has controversy and respect as well. The fact is some people may wonder about this school that want an unbiased opinion, I would never have known it existed until I saw it on wikipedia, plain and simple that is one of the great things about wikipedia, there are millions of things listed in standard encyclopedias I may never read but at the same time there may be somebody who needs to, by chance, no something, I do not find it notable, but it may be useful to someone else. The school's site is biased, wikipedia, is supposed to be an unbiased rescource for those searching, also there are many schools on here that are unaccredited, though I do think that this article should be kept I do not feel that the church article should be I feel that if anything the church article should be a section of the College article. --MJHankel 02:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Regarding your claim that it "has students", does it? Please provided WP:V of how many students it has. If it has a lot that might establish notability. Your claim that basically everything should be kept (even though you may not read it) isn't a reason for inclusion, and in fact goes against wikipedia policy. --Arbusto 02:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Frankly I do not know but there has been a book written about it, from one of its alumni, beyond that I do not know, Like I said I never had heard of it before but it just seems as though there are other Unaccredited colleges listed and it just did not seem that there was any real reason to not list this one. I am just trying to expand and keep info on all subjects, frankly either way it does not much matter to me personally. I am just trying to make an appeal for this article. --MJHankel 05:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment Please give a reason for inclusion based on wikipedia policy. Your claim that everything should be included is absurd. Arbusto 18:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment As I said there was a book written about it called The Texas Baptist Crucible[1] so in that sense it is notable other than that I do not care plain and simple I honestly do not like in anyway Independent Baptist Fundamentalists look under controversies on Hyles Anderson College, William Andy Beith was my principal, I was at that school when it all went down,.. so basically this is not a biased argument I am simply stating that it is somewhat notable for its controversy which I am positive is more than this especially sense the founder/chancellor of this school "Bob Gray" was also the founder of another highly controversial school in florida Trinity Baptist College, either way I fill that if for no other reason than controversy this article may be important.--MJHankel 05:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

You seem confused the book is about the church not the "college". The book is self-published by a former member of the church. Arbusto 06:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment I don't know that that is a confusion. The comments on Amazon and on various blogs and forum posts (yes, I know, not WP:V — just listen a sec) seem to indicate that the book discusses both, possibly because they are so intertwined. Lawikitejana 09:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, maybe one day when this can pass WP:V and there is more than forum posts this article can be recreated. If the "book" is so important to the article then why not include it? Seems strange to cite something as a reason for keeping an article without entering it into the article. Arbusto 01:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete: Those suggesting this outfit is trivial clearly don't live in East Texas. This is a sizeable (if a bit odd) organization that is one of the major religious and social institutions in East Texas. I don't know the numbers, but they fill busload after busload of congregants every Sunday from as far away as Dallas (130 miles). No, it isn't world-famous; but anyone who lives in Longview or any of the surrounding towns is well aware of it, has likely had dealings with it in some way, and understands that it is quite influential in the region. Its accreditation or lack thereof really doesn't have much to do with it's overall influence. This is a substantial, locally influential, controversial institution - if that doesn't make it worthy of an entry, then I just don't understand the criteria very well I guess.Ritwingr 05:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment this is Ritwingr's first ever edit. Arbusto 17:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment At first, I had trouble understanding the problem, too, but let me see if I can explain it. All of this controversy is potentially VERY notable ... but we don't have sufficiently solid sources to demonstrate that controversy yet. (The Spurgeon book doesn't yet count because none of us seem to be able to address whether it talks about TBC or only about the church.) If you look at the Hyles-Anderson College article mentioned above, you see that newspapers have written about problems there (just one example). If you live in East Texas, you may be able to find verifiable sources that those of us using online searches can't find; for example, have the Longview News-Journal or the Tyler Morning Telegraph published stories? I also wonder whether any specifically Baptist papers or papers of other Baptist colleges have written about it; I know that when the International Churches of Christ were getting started, a paper called The Christian Chronicle was writing about the movement long before major newspapers and TV stations or networks started covering the topic. Consider whether you or someone you know has access to such sources, and if so, post here any information you find. Lawikitejana 09:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep unless the nominator can explain how having an entire book published about the folleys of this school somehow make it "not notable". I see several things notable about this school, non-accreditation != non-notability. Silensor 17:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Please name those several things that make it notable; I see nothing in the article. The book is about the CHURCH, and its self-pusblished! Regarding the self-published book: church!=school. Also accreditation is required in Texas to give degrees.[2] The article currently states they give degrees. That is a serious WP:V issue. Arbusto 01:55, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Silensor is right... just because it isnt an accredited school doesnt mean it cant be notable... It could be quite infamous for many reasons...

The publisher of this 2006 book is PublishAmerica, which is a self-publishing company.[4] According to that Washington Post article, "PublishAmerica does use POD technology -- saving manufacturing and warehousing costs by not producing a book until a consumer actually places an order." The church was not notable enough for wikipedia Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Longview Baptist Temple and was DELETED. The only source that is being cited to make it notable is self-published. Self-published sources are not allowed per WP:RS. Hence the article should be deleted. Arbusto 06:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A student number would be important here. Seeing that the staff number is 20, and that a bunch of those are probably non-teaching, that means there's probably only 10-15 instructors at this place, and thus the student number must be tiny. -newkai t-c 11:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Longview Baptist Temple

Unnotable church. Article claims it has 3,000 in attendence, but this is not sourced. Fails notability and doesn't even assert any. Arbusto 01:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I haven't decided on this one either way. Academics have apparently documented the congregation size on a list of megachurches. There is a book about the church, albeit a self-published one. One commentator describes the place as notorious, suggesting it's notable at least within some particular community. Other people apparently agree. However, I haven't seen a lot of WP:RS-friendly material to make an article out of, so I've mainly limited myself to removing the occasional vandalism that is presumably from the LBT people themselves. I think I'm leaning toward a keep, but I'm open to persuasion or new evidence. William Pietri 02:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Regarding your claims:

1) Yes, the church is listed among 1,300 other US churches. It claims attendance is 3,000 meaning it is as big as a high school on Sundays. 2) That book is published by a pastor at the church. It does NOT prove notability because any pastor can write about his church, self publish it, and list it at amazon.com 3) Yes, there are blogs that mention it. I don't see any that meet WP:V, which can establish notability?

I could be wrong, but how do these prove notability for inclusion? Arbusto 02:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree it's one of many megachurches; I don't know what the threshhold is, but I thought I'd mention it. The book is actually by a pastor at a different church; he was a former LBT member and his book is an expose. I know that blogs aren't reliable sources, but the amount of discussion about it suggests to me that it may be notable. Naturally, all facts in the article should be verifiable, and blogs don't count for that. As I said, I'm not sure which way to go on this, but I thought I'd post what I turned up i my research.

[edit] List of ...for Dummies books

This is a huge unsourced list of books that have the title "...for Dummies". This list does not meet is what WP:ISNOT. This is a copied list stolen from the publisher's website, and all it will ever be is an out date second list.

This was nominated in March and reached no consensus. Many votes included "keep and clean up," its been a half year and the list is not different.

It contains links to the categories. See the links on the left side. It is the web site operated by the publisher for the series of books. Fg2 01:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, then this wiki article is a copy and paste from that website. For example, compare Dummies: Computing all databases Titles to wikipedia dummies database titles. What point does this article serve if it is the exact same as the publisher's list, only the publisher's list is more accurately maintained. Arbusto 01:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Two of grounds for deletion are incorrect. It's certainly verifiable, given that you can check the titles against the publisher's catalog, which is certainly reliable enough. Not to mention the Library of Congress, Amazon, and whatever else is available to the book ordering trade. So we have only WP:ISNOT, particularly 1.7.3 to argue about. And that's where I can say as a list, this has some potential use, if any of the titles warrant further elucidation, even a whole article. I'd suggest making this part of the main article, but then we'd have problems with that growing unmmanageable. FrozenPurpleCube 00:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

BTW, since the Publisher's catalog might remove books once they're out of print, I'm not inclined to rely on it. Still, the ...for Dummies article could use a bit more about the categories of books. FrozenPurpleCube 00:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as I advocated before. This is a mirror of a list which is available online from an authoritative source. The list at the publishers is complete, accurate and up to date - our list is not guaranteed to be so as new books are published all the time. Previous and present keep arguments often rested on the fact that ...for Dummies books are notable; that is not questioned, but we already have an article on ...for Dummies books, this is just a list of them at an unspecified date. There are precisely zero bluelinks to individual books, making this list considerably less useful than the one on the publisher's website, which has a short synopsis for each book. This list violates WP:NOT as both a directory and an indiscriminate collection of information (why this particular publisher's catalogue?). This is simply a copy and paste of the listing on the publisher's website on an unstated date; "do not add copies of primary sources". Guy 08:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

We obviously need the list if we want to be a serious reference work, that goes beyond video games characters, obscure porn stars or irrelevant diploma mills. Nominator cites wp:not without referring to a specific clause- not really surprising since none apply. Concern over lack of sources may be valid, although nothing prevents the nom from adding sources. In fact, few of our hundreds of book lists have sources, essentially because the publication of the book proves its existence. Examples include List of cookbooks, List of political memoirs, or List of fictional books, etc. Ongoing discussion on talk page showed interest in improving the list, something this nom ignored when making this nomination. --JJay 14:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

You are comparing a list of political memoirs and fictional books? Those lists contain notable authors and political figures created by wikipedia. This list is stolen from one publishers page without asserting any significance. Arbusto 23:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Those lists are incomplete, lack clear inclusion standards and have no references. This list has the potential to be complete and has clear inclusion standards. Otherwise, you are certainly entitled to fail to see the significance of the Dummies series, but the significance is clearly implied, not the least because we have an article on the series. --JJay 01:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Ummm... most lists on wikipedia are incomplete. What's your point? --Arbusto 01:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The point was that this list, unlike those, has fewer problems with the completeness of the list. If it's missing a title or two, that is easily correctable, and more likely because a new title was just released than any actual problem. And there's no question that the ...for Dummies series is itself notable. FrozenPurpleCube 01:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The series is notable that's why it has an article: ...for Dummies. This is a list taken from the publishers website of titles. Arbusto 01:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

and since people may have an interest in knowing whether a particular book in the series has been published, well, I see the purpose of this list. Sorry, but the summaries in the main article are incomplete, and making them exhaustively complete would just be excessively detailed. Thus the seperate list.

Comment: That's an intersting comment and an interesting use of taking my words out of context from an unrelated article. I'll let slide the series of absurd and non-sensical accusations. But try to stick to the merits of this list. It shouldn't need reminding, but that is why we are here. --JJay 02:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No kidding you'll "let it slide" because its true. Is copy and pasting a list a copyright violation? If yes, change your comment on this afd. If no, change your comments on the institute afd. Arbusto 02:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The only thing that is true is that you seem to be unwilling to engage in a rational debate concerning the merits of this article. My vote stands in keeping with the previous AfD. However, if you have copyvioed material here I would have no objection to its removal. See WP:Copyvio. --JJay 02:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

AGF doesn't mean turn a blind eye to the obvious. JJay has consistency done this to my edits since April; see his talk page or another ongoing afd: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International School of Management (ISM). Arbusto 21:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• I have done nothing to "your edits", nor does anything you are talking about have anything to do with this article. You nominated this list for deletion and I voted keep, just like I did in March [9]. Try to make a case for deleting this without resorting to innuendo, insinuation, personal attacks and unrelated accusations. --JJay 22:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

You deny changing my edits? What about this[10]? On this very page with you keep vote you managed to insult and undermine this afd and those who voted delete ("something this nom ignored when making this nomination") and contradicted yourself(you mentioned "unnotable" porn stars-- something you vote to keep[11]). Why don't you make a case for keeping an article by actually doing work to improve it? When was the last time you actually editted an article? Arbusto 22:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I generally remove trolling from my user page, as is my right (and you were warned not to post belligerent messages there). The rest of your comments have nothing to do with this list. Once again, you seem merely interested in making accusations and personal attacks, rather than convincing keep voters that this should be deleted. --JJay 22:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - If the publisher's list only included current in-print books and we listed out-of-print books, AND we included ISBN references and listed authors for each individual title, AND we had articles on individual books then I might be inclined to change my mind. But right now it's just copyvio listcruft, and according to the article it's over six months out of date.

• Weak keep - The linked-to NY Times article (only just) establishes notability as per WP:CORP. The fact that it was only a single article (i.e. not multiple sources) is mitigated by the fact that it's the NYT, which is pretty high profile as far as media coverage goes. Also, the chief "rival" in that article, Angie's List, has a page on WP as well. Neither company's article is overly self-aggrandising either, which counts in their favour. --DeLarge 10:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• My keep is no longer weak now that User:Uncle G has cited a second source (see below). Notability now established beyond doubt as far as I'm concerned. --DeLarge 15:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Do this C:NET News article and this C:NET News article, both by Stefanie Olsen, help? Uncle G 15:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It's a startup content aggregator that managed to finagle NYT coverage and reference on CNET. That does not mean we should suspend WP:CORP; as far as the importance of sources go, whilst I am in general agreement, I feel that a mention in the NYT does not automatically confer notability - indeed, it should refelct notability, which in this case is lacking. Eusebeus 16:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per Nom and Eusubeus, and because it's full-blown spam. Article history shows it was created by an SPA who created the article, inserted links to it on articles about his competition, and walked away. Doesn't meet WP:CORP at all, IMHO. --Aaron 21:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Keep Other reviewers have found additional articles since I first entered a comment. So, according to the letter of item #1 of WP:CORP (multiple non-trivial mentions in the press), we should be keeping it. The article itself seems quite boring, however. When I look at the Angie's list article I see more about the actual impact that the web site has had, and the reactions of the users. The Insider Pages article says, 'This is a company active in local search, and it has X thousand listings'. Not too enlightening. EdJohnston 16:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per WP:Corp. As well as the New York Times and CNet, a Google News Archive search shows coverage by Business Week, the Wall Street Journal and Forbes as well as other sources. [12]

• Merge and redirect with Bowlby, or else Delete.

• Delete per nom. Hello32020 02:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm concerned about potential ostriching, as the company is relatively well-known among developers and project manager-types who have a use for RP Pro. I'd almost go as far as suggesting that it's as notable as Adobe Photoshop was to graphic designers in its earlier iterations before the advents of consumer digital photography and abundant bandwidth. Kevin 07:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • WP:OSTRICH talks about reading the relevant notability criteria and performing searches to find supporting documentation for rationales. So where are the results of your search to show that the WP:CORP criteria are satisfied? All that you have given us is a bare assertion that you, personally, think that this company is notable (and compared it to a software product) with no sources to show that the WP:CORP criteria are satisfied. Uncle G 10:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • WP:CORP (1) could arguably be satisfied by either of the following links: [13], [14]. A simple Google search on "axure" nets 58,000 hits. It certainly isn't Microsoft-scale, but in all fairness, the nom hasn't provided any sort of rationale beyond their assertion that they, personally, think that this company is not notable. Kevin 13:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Doing exactly the same as the nominator at the same time as criticising the nominator, is bad form. Now to the sources, which is what we should be looking for and looking at. Now we're getting somewhere. They actually discuss the product, not the company. There isn't anything in either that says anything about the company itself, apart from that it is the company that makes the tool. The first would certainly go some way towards satisfying WP:SOFTWARE for an article on Axure RP. What we need for an article on the company is something that actually discusses the company. Uncle G 15:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I happen to believe there's a difference between devil's advocacy and "bad form", but in any case, I can see where you're coming from. In further searching, it doesn't seem that Axure is notable in and of itself, but I would contend that the RP Pro product is. Kevin 20:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Adobe Photoshop makes pictures: something the average layman can understand and take an interest in. This has something to do with software development, and as such the description of their flagship product's intended uses is vague and sketchy: a full solution for the application design process and included features to manage marketing requirements, diagram sitemaps and logic, design interfaces, generate prototypes, and generate specifications. This will always be a rather obscure offering, and the article doesn't make a good case for notability othewise. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • All things being equal, "Photoshop makes pictures" is akin to "Visio and Axure RP make flowcharts". I don't think what a layperson understands is necessarily sufficient criteria for inclusion or exclusion. Kevin 20:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep but strip the article of the marketing mumbo-jumbo. Pronto. (I'm tagging.) --Dhartung | Talk 14:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as corporate WP:SPAM under new CSD policy and stricter attitude towards corporate articles. Article created by single purpose user account which has also spammed links to this article across other articles. No claim of encyclopedic notability. Bwithh 16:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge in to Axure RP, per discussion between Uncle G and I. Kevin 20:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article is too vague and content-free to be worth hanging on to, even if notability could be shown. The article seems unlikely to improve beyond what we have now. Drawing flow diagrams doesn't sound like a difficult task; what more do they do? EdJohnston 20:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I concur, it is not a clone and is an interesting interpretation and implementation of a minimalist programming language. This could be applicable to embedded systems or programmable integrated circuits (PIC) which have extremely limited (relative) memory storage capacity --Neo 08:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Esoteric to the point of uselessness, and ultimately non-notable. It's not useful for PIC programming, as there is no hardware that implements it.

Delete, per WP:NOT. --Peta 02:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom Hello32020 02:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but with significant reservations. The article should be deleted because there are no references whatsoever. But I'm rather curious what you think this article is that Wikipedia is "not." There's nothing prohibiting articles on family histories, provided their subject is notable, verifiable, and the articles have citations. I'm also concerned that Hello32020 seems to simply be machine-gun-voting "Delete per nom" down the page, in at least one instance voting twice in the same AfD. That Hello32020 voted to delete per the nominator here, when the nominator basically didn't say anything, is somewhat alarming. JDoorjam Talk 06:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't speak for Petaholmes, but given that the article discusses the branches of a particular family with the surname Ainscough, Wikipedia is not a genealogy database seems to be the most likely to me. That policy is aimed more at preventing "Joe Smith, born 1685, died 1714, son of [[Fred Smith]] and father of [[Jim Smithson]]. Married [[Mary Baker]] in 1711." articles, though. Uncle G 10:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete A very short article like this one, even if it sounded like genealogy, might be worth keeping if we could believe it was true. I see no verifiability here, and no attempt whatever at documentation of the claims made. EdJohnston 22:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it deserves mention somewhere...and there's already a sentence about it in bash.org, so maybe that text could be expanded a bit to explain the geneology of qdb.us, bash.org, and IRCQuotes (also AfD'ed) and moved to Quote Database page (see also the QDB dab page)...one main page about quote databases, and a detailed one about bash.org in particular.

• Keep - I have two print sources for this from PC Zone, one of which describes it as a Half-Life classic. I removed the prod citing give me some time to add these sources, and will do in due course, but I've spent most of my Wikipedia time today on DRV. I've deprodded quite a few mods asking for some more time, I'd quite like a few more weeks to clean them up, after that, fire away. - Hahnchen 03:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral then; no problem with trying to clean it up, though I'm not convinced a couple of reviews in PC Zone means notability. Opabinia regalis 06:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment - The mod website hosts some press mentions. This includes 3 reviews of 3 different versions at PC Zone("Science wins again""A Half-Life Classic""Mod of the Month"). And a double page spread in some French magazine.[15][16]. This isn't just another Half-Life mod, and whereas its popularity now has waned, this was one of the most popular mods for Half-Life. It's not like I've just voted to keep every mod, far from it. - Hahnchen 04:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: no opinion on keeps/deletes, haven't checked what the consensus for notability and so on is, but I justwanted to confirm that Gen4 (the "some French magazine" ,-) ) is (or was at least at that time) one of the leading French computer game magazines and not some fanzine or so. I would consider this easily a reliable and reputable source for computer games and mods. Fram 13:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phasing (Magic mechanic)

The article is about a single mechanic within the game of Magic: The Gathering. While the game itself deserves a page, and the rules deserve a page (having been nominated and kept), individual mechanics do not. Khaim 04:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Removed prod tag, sending here for discussion. Original reason for prod: Political candidate and middle-school History/Debate teacher. Unelected, and article padded with school debate team accomplishments. Naconkantari 04:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Currently, the only source for this article is the campaign's website bio. To me, this counts as self-published information and advocacy, and as such isn't a reliable source for background information.

• Keep, I removed the worst POV problems from the article and added a few links that could be used as reliable sources for the article text. This is a candidate for a national political office and is backed by one of the two major political parties. I found multiple articles discussing Henley in a brief search of the Houson Chronicle website. The article has the potential for expansion. Minus the POV, the article is verifiable and neutral. Notability "standards" are POV and subjective; our policies are best served by keeping the verifiable portion of this article. · j e r s y k o talk · 17:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Probably, it would be impossible to cover a U.S. Congress race, like this one, without biographical articles on the participants. I think the question here is, should a House seat race be covered, merely because it's a House seat race? If so, it pretty much demands biographical information on the candidates.

[edit] Neural therapy

Despite the appearance of references, this is non-notable pseudoscience and spam. Obvious googling "neural therapy" will get you something, but "neural therapy" +procaine gets about 1000 results, +novocain another 80, most to the expected sorts of websites advertising their healing wares. Apparently someone did manage to get this published in a real journal - once, in 1956. The reliability of this article is not aided by the author's inability to spell ganglia. Opabinia regalis 05:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Im not sure your claim that is pseudo-science has any support. It is an alternative form of therapy that it is being practiced, tought and researched. So why dont we delete it in the german wikipedia? [20] Knowing chemistry means little in understanding medicine or biology. Why not place the article for revision since you know as little as I? And since you are such a spiteful person you add that "the reliability of this article is not aided by the author's inability to spell ganglia" when I knew perfectly that I meant ganglion.: Jcbohorquez (talk • contribs)

As I described, there's a distinct lack of published research on the subject, and a lack of sources indicating that it is a common alternative treatment despite this. One paper from 1956 does not make an article, regardless of what the German Wikipedia does or doesn't do. I was referring to the pluralization of "ganglion" as "ganglions", which suggested a lack of familiarity with the subject matter, but as this is a reasonable error for a non-native English speaker I have stricken it. Opabinia regalis 06:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Actually since there are several ganglion it is adecuate to say ganglions. Since you know the rules of wikipedia you can easily get this article deleted. I find this technic insulting and demeaning of what this site stands for. You should promote discussion not censorship. That is why I found your comments so viceral and was compelled to respond.

Language is a fre e moving social construction of meaning. Its purpose is to explain what we understand to others and to ourselves. I just found of encyclopedic value to know of alternative types of therapy. I did my best to improve the article. Theres a recent publication where patients prefer neural therapy over accupunture in accute pain. Since pain is a subjective experience the finding is of value to the medical community (patients and caretakers). I also found the article Ferdinand Heuneken published in 1961, listed in Science Direct. JCBohorquez Jcbohorquez 06:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and improve. Referenced description by the American Cancer Society (linked from the article), plus a fairly large number of google hits[21] suggest that this is a notable alternative therapy. Almost certainly pseudoscientific nonsense, too, but that's not what's at stake here. If it is kept, the article needs to address the point that 'There is no scientific evidence that neural therapy is effective in treating cancer or any other disease.'[22] and to be copyedited. Cheers, Sam Clark 12:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comments were valuable and were added. I´m ignorant on what you call "copyedited". Jcbohorquez 14:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC) Jcbohorquez

• Delete I would not trust anyone with injecting anything into my ganglions (sic), unless they had peer-reviewed journal articles documenting double-blind clinical trials to back them up. The fact that this AfD is being disputed on grounds like "language being a free moving social construct" is also worrying. Policy-wise, this would appear to fail WP:NOTABILITY, WP:OR, WP:FT and most certainly WP:BOLLOCKS. It would be irresponsible to provide a platform for this nonsense. Byrgenwulf 15:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not for a moment suggesting that this therapy is a good idea, but the evidence does seem to be that's it's fairly widely used, and therefore notable. That's why I argue 'keep'. Part of the improvement the article needs is certainly putting it into neutral, 'some people (referenced) believe that...' style. Cheers, Sam Clark 16:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Byrgenwulf. Even assuming this topic passes the notability test, the improvement it needs just won't happen. Not in this world. (sighs) Anville 16:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and improve. Homeopathic medicine cannot stand doble-bind clinical trials due to the nature of the propused therapy. Yet it is a common practice of alternative medicine and has an article in wikipedia. We should not debate if its scietifically valid, we should debate if its "knowledge" that should be included somehow into the wikipedia. Jcbohorquez 17:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Published scientific studies have been quoted in the Homeopathy article, actually. In addition, there have been double-blind clinical trials on Homeopathy, see the article. They strongly suggest a placebo effect, but the trials have been done. Anyways, the current article is not WP:NPOV. ColourBurst 20:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Tried to improve on comment by removing biased comparisson to accupunture. Jcbohorquez 20:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Niether of the following are good reasons to delete: 1. the article isn't NPOV or well-written; 2. the therapy it describes is pseudoscientific rubbish. 1 is a reason to improve the article. 2 is irrelevant: plenty of articles in WP are about rubbish without promoting rubbish. What's at stake is whether the subject of the article is notable - the evidence seems to be that it is - and whether an adequate article could be written about it - which doesn't seem impossible, given the improvement (e.g. in referencing) so far. Cheers, Sam Clark 13:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - This is not about the efficacy of neural therapy. It is about the notability of the practice. There are over a hundred pubmed articles about the practice as well as lots of google hits. It deserves a well-researched article of its own (I've made some small changes). InvictaHOG 23:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It appears to me, from the discussion here, that it's notable, and I don't see merit in the other arguments. Gabrielthursday 23:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose, relatively small but nevertheless influential betting exchange in the UK which is in opposition to Betdaq and Betfair. This exchange is steadily acquiring liquidity and it is entirely possible that once reasonable liquidity levels are achieved that the 1% commisssion basis may result in it becoming the major UK exchange. Whilst small, it is still a sizeable presence in some key UK betting markets, and the occasional very serious trade is exercised intra players on there. The article does however need some work and should demonstrate notability to a greater extent than it does.

  • Wrong. They do not. Wikipedia is not a business directory and "If article X then article Y." is a fallacious argument. The criteria are WP:CORP, and each company has to satisfy them on its own merits. BETDAQ#References shows how a company can satisfy them. Companies that do not satisfy them have no place here.

• Oppose, Its main claim to fame is that its owner has a certain notoriety within the UK betting industry and certainly online among online punters. He is a frequent correspondent with the Racing Post on betting industry-related matters and he has attained a profile out of proportion to the traffic his betting exchange appears to drive. I maintain the entry is worth preserving as stub, as the website might acquire more significance over time. Right now, its main claim to fame is that it is possibly the only totally unfunded betting exchange start-up on the web.

[edit] Short-Media

No reliable sources, Google test (which is fairly reliable for internet subjects) revealed only 17 unique hits, and still no reliable sources for verification; no indication that it has attracted enough attention to be able to write about it in an encyclopedic fashion, using a neutral point of view. Captainktainer * Talk 06:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I hope others will add to the article so that it becomes notable. Short-Media is small in comparison to sites like AnandTech and [H]ard|OCP, but I don't think that alone should preclude it from having an entry in Wikipedia. Racantrell 07:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I remember this, or more specifically I remember Icrontic being hacked and Short-media replacing it. I don't think that counts as notability though, and nor does an Alexa traffic rank of 33,000.[23] Both Anandtech and [H]ardOCP are much higher, while their participation in F@H is irrelevant. Allowing this would, I fear, set the notability bar too low for techie websites. --DeLarge 10:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Action civique de Québec

Only two lines of content that looks like a poor translation from english, and the info boxes are not even done properly JenLouise 07:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete The site isn't just a poor translation, it's absolute nonsense. Plus, none of the links work and the table on the right isn't programmed correctly. --The Way 09:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Keep - I thought this might be salvageable as a stub if the info could be translated (poor English and bad formatting are not deletion criteria), but the domain name registration expired last month. The only English language Ghits I'm getting are to WP/mirrors, and without external verifiability it has to go. Maybe someone could use the non-English links to create a Fr:WP article, but not here.

• Salvage job seems to have sorted this. Still not many Ghits (1610 is not "plenty" in my book, and no Google News hits even in Canada and French language-specific sites), but seems to meet notability requirements regardless. --DeLarge 10:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Yes, it was an incredibly poor article, but I have cleaned it up, and now it is a perfectly good stub. The official site works fine for me, and Quebec City's own website indicates that the party is the second largest party on the City Council, with 6 of the 37 seats ([24]). It is notable and verifiable.

  A Google search turns up plenty of hits. I note that WP:V does not preclude the use of non-English sources; it simply prefers the use of English-language versions where available for the convenience of English-speaking readers (and Wikipedia:Reliable sources states that "foreign-language sources are acceptable in terms of verifiability"). I strongly disagree with the notion that the lack of English-language sources (not surprising for a local political party in an overwhelmingly non-English speaking city) somehow renders the subject non-notable and non-verifiable, but that it would be okay for there to be an article on the French-language wikipedia.

• Delete. Aside from the information that they hold 6 of the 37 council seats, and a pointer to their seldom-updated web site, I'm not sure that this tells us anything about the Action Civique de Québec. I'd support deletion of the article now, and recreation if anyone has time to do a proper article. The other parties on the City Council don't have articles yet, and I sure wouldn't recommend they get ones like this. As an office-holding political party I agree that the A.C.Q. are notable. It's just that the stub is so small it makes you feel you wasted your time looking it up and reading it. As a temporary measure, could a section be added to the Quebec City Council page that just has the URLs of the party web sites? EdJohnston 21:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A Google News Archive shows that they have received plenty of coverage in the Canadian French media and shows potential for expansion. [25] As the party has successfully endorsed candidates for election, it is notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 02:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jews for Animal Rights

It is cabal-cruft. This is pure Wikipedia:Fancruft. There is allegedly a cabal on Wikipedia that is pro Jewish, pro animal rights and this is just a Fancrufty article based off such fan interests. Thus, it makes it cabal-cruft. The article also is purely non-notable. The book sources don't reference the organization and some even were published before it began -- they are also non-notable sources, too, and most look self-published, which fails wikipedia's notability guidelines. The website references failed WP:V and WP:N and WP:WEB (including failing google and alexa), making the article failing WP:V and WP:N. The organization also fails WP:ORG.

[edit] Phantom time hypothesis

As his claim is so radically opposed to the sciences of archaeology, dating, etc., it is incumbent upon Heribert to prove that his claims are more than disatisfaction with current dating methods and supposed radical innacuracies of medieval scribes. This is Heribert's only claim to fame, his only reason for inclusion in the Wikipedia. As such, is it enough to actually justify any page on him? I think not and have thus nominated this thoroughly implausible theory for deletion. Banaticus 08:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The German version might be notable. But the books haven't been translated into English and the theories are completely ridiculous. If this were the German Wikipedia, then it might be notable enough to keep. But 1) the theory is just plain stupid and 2) is not notable in English -- it thus should not be on the English Wikipedia. If the German Wikipedia editors feel that it's notable enough to host over there, more power to them. Additionally, relevant information from this article has already been merged with that on Heribert. This particular article should be deleted. Banaticus 19:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Just because the sources are in German doesn't make it not notable or not verifiable. "English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to foreign-language sources, so that readers can easily verify that the source material has been used correctly." (from WP:V) --Maelnuneb (Talk) 20:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Herbert Illig published the books himself (according to the German Wikipedia Heribert Illig discussion page). Maelnuneb, the same page that you quoted begins with the statment, "One of the keys to writing good encyclopedia articles is to understand that they must refer only to facts, assertions, theories, ideas, claims, opinions, and arguments that have already been published by reputable publishers." (Their emphasis, not mine.) The source of these crank allegations is not a reputable publisher. Banaticus 01:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep nutty but published independently: see Ethik und Sozialwissenschaften 8/4 (1997) where Illig got his moment of fame. Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you should follow the link I gave to the German Wikipedia and inform them of that, Angus McLellan. By the way, the link you gave appears to essentially be a syllabus -- I didn't see anything on that page which contradicts the German Wikipedia's assertion that Heribert published this himself. Banaticus 23:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, the editorial board of EWE (as it is now called) doesn't include Illig: Loh, for example, is a Professor of Sociology at Paderborn, Keil-Slawik of Computing & Society. The journal has been published for 14+ years. One issue had some material on Illig, largely rebuttals of his work. And yes, the link is to a table of contents. The printed journals are issued by the academic publishers Lucius & Lucius. Everything seems quite above board. Illig has been published in a reliable source, but his ravings were rejected and probably, going by the table of contents, on the grounds that the WP article gives: the need for massive and highly improbable cross-cultural collusion (Gunnar Heinsohn: Armenier und Juden als Testfall für die Streichung von drei Jahrhunderten durch Heribert Illig) and on astronomical grounds (Wolfhard Schlosser: Astronomie und Chronologie).

[edit] Lists of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants

Along with the daughter articles, this duplicates information already at List of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants. Something needs to go, here, and I think it should be the set that is strangely organized and strangely named. Further nominations on the daughter articles to follow. --Dekimasu 09:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The further nominations are for the following:

• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: Africa
• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: Asia
• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: Europe
• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: North America
• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: Oceania
• List of cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants: South America

Note that because the lists include capitals even when the capitals have less than 100,000 people, the Oceania list is not so much of a list of cities as a list of capitals. Having the articles separate also has led to them being in different states of disrepair (the Europe article lists the populations of some consitutent cities, but others don't). Dekimasu 09:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Also note that deleting the single list would derail coordinated work at Wikipedia:Missing articles for towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants. Dekimasu 01:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge any additional information (for example, from the Europe list) and redirect to List of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants (also, consider dropping the "towns and" from that title while we're at it). Nom has a very good point; however, I don't see the need for deletion here. -- Visviva 13:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• This could be a long list, I can see that already. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 14:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Turn into a category On the other hand, this has a virtue of being completable; however, a category would be a lot easier to maintain and the only value of a list would be to sort it by country, something that would be easily done by having country categories. Or merge it into the whole list. However, 100000 people seems like a low threshold to me, but that's a subjective thing. ColourBurst 15:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Listcruft w/o clear purpose. What kind of magic is in the 100k number? Please do not create category. Categories should be used only for major defining characteristics, not as a poor man database tool. Pavel Vozenilek 20:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

And, of course, nearly every list in Category:Top_lists is some round number from the Fortune 500 & Fortune 1000 (not that Fortune thought too hard about the Fortune 488 or the Fortune 1109) to The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, not the 101 or the 99 greatest, etc.... Carlossuarez46 00:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Obviously another weakness of Wikipedia. A more serious argument against the list (or cat): in the Czech Republic cities with > 100k people get larger percentage of money from state budget than the smaller cities. As a result those just a little bellow the threshold cheat in many ways at the time of making the decision. The "official" numbers easily jump up by hundredths to thousands overnight. There are five cities (Olomouc, Hradec Kralove, Pardubice, Usti nad Labem, Liberec) that oscilate around 100k every year. At least the lists should acknowledge inherent fuzziness of their classification. Pavel Vozenilek 23:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
        • That weakness of WP is self-imposed: verifiability from a reliable source is sufficient for inclusion; not truth. So these lists are no more nor less accurate than any article that purports to give a population figure (which changes daily in any large area anyhow). To contrast the Czech example: in the US, and may other places probably, there are serious under-counts by census because some people don't respond, some people shouldn't be in the country at all, some people are wanted for crimes, some people have no fixed abode (homeless), and (not surprisingly) some people don't trust the government with their information. But, nearly every entry on a populated US geographic entity here uses the census population figures. Carlossuarez46 16:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - get rid of the capital cities anomaly by all means but I see no reason to dismiss this as list-cruft. Why do you say these pages are "strangely organised"? There are too many cities to include in one world-wide page so the continent pages are necessary. Most wotld lists split off by continent when they get too long - why not here? If you really want to delete something on the grounds of duplication it should be the other list (the "towns and cities" one, I mean). Jameswilson 23:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean out the entries (capital cities) that don't belong. The list meets the list criteria: it's verifiable and clear what should go in and should not (needs that clean up though). Carlossuarez46 00:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Once again, this list already exists at List of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants. Whether it is too long or not is debatable, but the page with all cities over 100,000 together is at 59KB. This is definitely a workable page length in the case of a list. It makes more sense to me to have one page instead of seven, and I'm irked by the page that is nothing more than a list of lists. Separating the lists has already caused the editing of them to diverge, and this makes the lists less reliable. Looking through the pages, I trust the List of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants more than the others. At any rate, the main point was that there is duplication going on and something needs to go. Dekimasu 01:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The subject is sufficiently notable. He is a former chairman of the board of SEMA, and he is the president of President of a prominent company in the automotive aftermarket industry. Info-freedom. Also, he is somewhat famous for an online sockpuppeting incident, described here: http://www.hotrodders.com/corky-coker.html 03:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Does a reliable source start with, "We think that Corky Coker, of Coker Tire, is a jerk. Actually, we think a lot worse of him, but all we're going to say is 'jerk'"? I also question whether that "famous" incident is at all notable in the context of the Wikipedia. (NB, I have no connection with Mr. Coker, with the forums mentioned, or with hot-rodding of any sort. I stumbled upon this page and nominated it for deletion for the reasons given above.) --Flex 13:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
    • In considering the action, the word "Jerk" seems intentionally restrained. Many "reliable" sources have made much worse claims about individuals. Reliability is established when the allegations match the facts. If you doubt the reliability of the information, you can call up Coker Tire on the phone. Also, you can call up Discovery Channel or SEMA. Regarding notability, I had made a strong case for it in the article's discussion page. In addition to the notablility of the described episode, the fact that Coker Tire is involved in an extremely blatant vanity article attempt on Wikipedia lends notability to the previous incident. Anyway, Qmax deleted my discussion comments, although an administrator was kind enough to restore them to the discussion page, where you can now view them. This is the second time that my comments had been deleted from the discussion page in an attempt to cover-up the information. BTW, Qmax's request to "rename" is being done for search engine optimization purposes. He wants the page to rank well for the phrase "Corky Coker". This is why he wants it to be titled exactly as such, rather than with the more appropriate title which lists first and last name, as well as nickname. For example, see this entry in Qmax's blog: http://chattablogs.com/quintus/archives/040292.html .--Info-freedom 15:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
      • I'll let the community decide about the reliability of that source and the notability of Mr. Coker, but while I agree that your comments should not have been deleted from the talk page, I don't think this article can stand on its own merits apart from any alleged "cover-up." --Flex 15:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
      • User:Info-freedom suggested I explicitly cite WP:VAIN#What_is_encyclopedic? in regard to the "famous" discussion board incident. As far as I can tell, Coker was allegedly involved in spamming to a discussion board and following it up with some sock puppetry. Those are not crimes and are not worthy of mention in an encyclopedia as I read the guidelines. --Flex 18:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Agreed w/Flex, "not encyclopedic" is a reasonable argument for deletion. Although, it's interpretive. Regarding the nature of the incident as not a crime, Coker's sock puppetry incident may constitute the crime of a threat, or the crime of wire fraud. In the referenced post note how Coker puts the administrator's first and last name, and his town and state of residence, as the title of his post. In addition, he falsifies his location. Rather than entering his home state, he enters CO, the administrator's home state. In his post, he says: "watch what you say and who you say it to. You never know when it may really come back to bite you." This veiled threat, coupled with falsifying his location such that it is the same as the forum administrator's, may constitute a crime. In addition, I contend that the resultant wave in the industry from this episode is notable, rather than the encapsulated episode itself.--Info-freedom 19:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
        • The discussion about the Coker's sock puppetry should probably go back to Talk:Joseph "Corky" Coker, but I will say here that unless he was convicted or officially charged with a crime, you may not raise that allegation here. That is original research and perhaps libel. --Flex 20:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Uncertain, leaning towards keep. It's a bit tough to determine where to draw the line for an Iranian stage/film actress. However, according to the IMDB, Leila, one of her movies, was distributed internationally and apparently got a certain amount of critical attention, including a New York Times review. However, she's the 7th cast member listed, so it's hard to say how big the part was. The IMDB cast list doesn't even give a name to her character ("second wife"), but on the other hand it doesn't give a name to any of the characters except the two main protagonists. This one is too close to call, so no vote from me, but it definitely isn't a clear-cut case for deletion. Nominator's accusation of vanity is almost certainly untrue: article creator has been around since 2005 and has many other contributions. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- I had typed in "delete" after looking at IMDB, but then did a Google search. She seems to be famous among Iranians, although nearly all the Web sites seem to be in Persian. She starred in "Butterfly in the Wind" and won the "Best Actress" award for that role at the 2004 Amiens International Film Festival[26], and she was interviewed by the Iranian Times Web site (in Persian and in a PDF file which I can't figure out how to translate). There are 129 or so English Google hits and about 3,500 in total. You could certainly make the case that she's only worth an article in a Farsi Wikipedia and not in English I suppose, but apparently those three movies on IMDB have been translated into English, so some people might be interested in her. There are lots of Iranian immigrants in the U.S.Noroton 19:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep just poking around google I was able to find quite a few sites in Arabic with this person's name. I am not going to pretend that I can read Arabic and google was pretty much unable to translate the sites for me.

[edit] Vahid Tarokh

Based upon Vahid Tarokh's own request for deletion of this page. Please see the talk page Ghlobe 08:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Courtesy delete. Sounds at least borderline notable based on the infromation in the article, but my opinion is that if a borderline or questionable article subject wishes their article to be deleted, we should honour that request. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • There is no evidence *at all* that Tarokh blanked it; please also see my comment below. -Splash - tk 21:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per comments by Starblind above. Change to Strong Keep as per comments below by Splash. Even if Vahid Tarokh is the one requesting the article be deleted(which I doubt), I'm not sure it would be a consideration. This guy is notable enough to warrant an article... whether he likes it or not. Jcam 14:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The man seems more than notable enough for wikipedia: through his inventions, through the awards, through the honorary degrees (I don't think someone would get an honorary degree from Harvard for nothing) and through being "one of the Top 10 Most Cited Researchers in Computer Science according to the ISI web of science." Also, I would need to see proof that 72.70.95.56 (talk · contribs) is indeed Vahid Tarokh himself, before considering the request. Furthermore, I'm not in favour of deleting articles because the subject requests it: either people are notable enough for wikipedia and they get an article, or they're not notable enough and they don't get an article. Aecis ^{I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive.} 14:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep based on resume. The subject certainly meets WP:PROF and we keep many more borderline cases simply because of slightly higher public notability or infamy for other reasons. The user's request is a valid consideration but not sufficient by itself in this case. (Apologies.) --Dhartung | Talk 15:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep definitely notable and as the last 2 comments stated, just because the subject wants an article deleted, that doesn't mean it should be. The subject is of course quite welcome to help correct any inaccuracies in the article. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 20:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, incredibly famous person in the field in which I just completed my PhD - he invented a scheme (space-time coding, see also space-time block code and space-time trellis code) that changed the face of wireless communications research at a stroke. He is faculty at Harvard. Absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the person who blanked the article and its talk page is Tarokh himself. The article is rather poor because it was written by a student/employee of Tarokh's who had some reflected vanity issues; I got beaten to writing it myself but believe me that he is one of the most notable individuals in the whole of the field. His two most famous papers, references [6] and [7] in space-time block code are amongst the most widely cited journal articles in wireless. (Don't believe what you read at Citeseer; it's rubbish at this kind of thing.) -Splash - tk 21:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per precedent. Also, the vandalism in this case (i.e. anon blanking of article and talk page) unfortunately ruined the credibility of this deletion request. Dl2000 14:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, well sourced and the AfD is solely based on (unnecessary) modesty from the person it deals with. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 19:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bros (lifestyle)

I tagged this article as initially unreferenced and possible OR (among other problems), and the creator kept removing all the tags (even the unrelated ones) and putting in a single reference link to UrbanDictionary, despite my telling him that it was not really a reliable source. He then blanked the article and asked for its deletion. I can see it may be a valid subject for an article, but as yet I've been unable to come up with any sources for this slang (besides the better-known ones already in widespread usage) so am bringing it to AfD for wider discussion over whether this really is a known, verifiable subculture. ~Matticus ^T_C 13:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete "Bros", of course, gets zillions of Google hits, being a major pop band as well as part of Warner Bros, Super Mario Bros, etc. But Bros +offroading produces nothing relevant in the first few pages. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless some good sources are found (which isn't totally out of the question on a topic like this, I could see some magazine writing a feature about it or something). Recury 13:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  Which policy exactly states that? I see Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information on the What Wikipedia is not page, with That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia as part of the section.

  • Surprised! What kind of evidence do you need? Just some time ago Jcam has pointed out that smokeping is a part of Debian distribution. The software is notable, however the stub I inserted need significant work to become an article. Which one is more notable a screwdriver or hammer? The same applies with network tools.

[edit] Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory

This is a bollocks-ridden "fringe theory". It has not been published in any reliable sources — both journals from which the article is sourced are decidedly cranky (Medical Hypotheses particularly: they will publish anything, quite literally, as long as the author pays per page [27]). It also fails notability policies, since no real assertion of notability is made. And it arguably is original research as well. Moreover, Wikipedia does not need to be a platform for the promotion of utterly misleading drivel.

Was prodded yesterday by someone else, but the tag was removed by an IP/anon with no explanation.Byrgenwulf 14:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Update The creator's apparent vanity piece has also been nominated for deletion, here. Byrgenwulf 17:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as a violation of all the policies mentioned in the nomination. I suspect this article violates WP:VAIN as well: it was created by an IP, 24.185.23.19 (talk · contribs), who also edited New York Law School last April. According to Huping Hu (the article on the inventor of this "theory"), Hu attended that school in the 1990s. Anville 17:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Anville. Note that this was deleted in November 2004, which looks to be before the deletion log started, but see Special:Undelete/Spin-Mediated_Consciousness_Theory and request for investigation about the same IP. I've left a note for user:Ancheta Wis, who seems to be the one requesting deletion back then and appears to still be active. Thryduulf 19:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Good detective work. The first link you posted only works for admins, it appears, but the discovery is nonetheless interesting. Anville 19:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, especially WP:BOLLOCKS. --Pjacobi 21:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Huping Hu. This piece was initially written by me when Wikipedia was in its infant stage back in 2004 as a way to introduce our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory because someone cited our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory in the Consciousness and, I believe, quantum mind entry. Please be advised that Anville's statement with respect to spamming is factually false and, upon information and belief, libelous. Our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory speaks for itself and if it was added or edited within quantum mind and spin the purpose was related to relevancy not vanity. May GOD bless Wikipedia and its participants so that it may stay useful, innovative, diverse and informative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.197.56 (talk • contribs)

Looks like you are claiming that you are Huping Hu and also that you are the author of the two articles. Is that correct? If so I add WP:NPOV to my vote. And 72.89.197.56 (talk · contribs), please review WP:NLT and note that making legal threats in the Wikipedia is gravely frowned upon.---CH 23:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per WP:BOLLOCKS. This article reads like pure pseudoscientific newagery; there is a bit about (poorly described) physical background but no indication of how spin states are supposed to generate conciouness, so the article completely fails in its mission of even describing the alleged "theory". NeuroQuantology?!! Is this yet another crankjournal? Sheesh! Can we consolidate this AfD with the biography? I agree with User:Anville that even a cursory examination raises the issue of WP:VAIN. ---CH 22:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

We had an article on NeuroQuantology at some point, but it met a justly deserved fate (PRODed, I believe, not AfD). A Google Scholar search on that journal was quite illuminating, as was a perusal of its website. . . but that's not really a topic germane to this discussion. Anville 23:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The result was speedy delete as either vandalism or an advert for a company that would require practically a complete overhaul in order to make an article. Given that the creator of the article, berf (talk · contribs), has given us such silliness as Berf and Everett Lobster, both of which were silly vandalism, it is highly probable that a one-sentence article on a company with no supporting citations and only a borough name to go on for context is simply more of the same. I strongly suspect, given prior deleted edits (which I won't provide specifics of because they are personally identifying), that the author has just invented this company, and even if it were real this would be self-promotion.

It seems that the "proof" may be well-founded (if it were, I'd think wed have heard more about such a long-standing problem).

• Delete 43,000 odd Google hits, though. None of them, however seem to be from a serious, authoritative website. AdamBiswanger1 15:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No verifiable evidence of notability.Edison 20:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• This is not an advert for what you may call a "Non-Notable" podcast, it's appearance on wikipedia acts to provide listeners old and new with information on how it all began. Twinkleboi was one of the first gay voices of UK podcasting to make an impact in the USA, and to this day, is a much loved part of the pod-o-sphere—Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.81.14.68 (talk • contribs)
• Twinkleboi was one of the first podcasts I ever subscribed to, and has been an interesting, informative and humourous link to the Mother Country for me. His show provides a valuable resource to young Gay people in not only the UK, but around the world. The name Twinkleboi is synonomous with gay UK podcasting.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottsworld (talk • contribs)

• Don't Delete There are far less notable entries on Wikipedia than this one. It'll hardly become notable if it's deleted. The "unencyclopedic" entry is the only real valid point here, and yet this could be changed with a cleanup - many likewise events are noted on Wikipedia, numerous of them on celebrity biographies.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.143.246.31 (talk • contribs)

[edit] IK Makkabi Stockholm

Non-notable minor amateur football club playing in level 8 of the Swedish football pyramid. As a comparison, English football clubs are only considered notable if playing in level 10 or above, and England has about five times more players than Sweden. – Elisson • Talk 15:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Wrong, English clubs are listed even at levels 11 and twelve (The 61 F.C. (Luton)). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and resource for information. NYC2TLV 07:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • You have to know that there are clubs that have either been playing at a higher level, or that have not been AfDed. That is no reason for this article to be kept. See WP:CORP, clubs playing at level 11 or higher need to be notable in other ways than playing in their league. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, yes. Wikipedia is a resource for information, yes. What support does that give to keep this article? Please read WP:N. – Elisson • Talk 11:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am the articles creator and disagree with this deletion because this club is not just a minor league football club but also an establishment that was crucial in the development of the Maccabi World Union in Sweden as well as an outlet and part of history of the Jews in Sweden. I can understand that this isn't so obvious based on the little information that was posted on the page. – NYC2TLV • Talk 21:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I can't see how this club is an important part of the history of Jews in Sweden. Care to explain? – Elisson • Talk 20:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree. Give us some WP:RS. Punkmorten 10:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: See also KSC Maccabi Antwerp, Sport Club Maccabi Bruxelles, TuS Maccabi e.V. Düsseldorf, TuS Bar Kochba Nürnberg and Maccabi Paris. All seem equally non-notable. Punkmorten 10:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No verifiable evidence of notability. Should show something like newspaper articles to document importance.Edison 20:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep In accordance with much of football's significance worldwide, this club's notability is cultural rather than sporting. DublinDilettante 14:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • In what way is this club notable in a cultural way? There are tens of other "ethnic" clubs in Stockholm alone. What makes this so special compared to those? Or in fact, special in a cultural way compared to any other football club at level 8? – Elisson • T • C • 15:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
    • It's notable as a vestigial of a cultural phenomenon (the Jewish sports club) which is almost extinct in Europe (unlike other "ethnic" sporting associations.) See http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/jewish-ww.html#Sweden DublinDilettante 20:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

  • We have plenty of articles on teams in minor leagues (take a look at some of the football club categories), but generally not this minor. This club plays in the eighth level of Swedish football, way way down from the professional level. The article Swedish football league system lists leagues down to level 5, with 28 teams playing at level 3, 72 teams at level 4 and 144 at level 5. Hundreds if not thousands of Swedish teams play at a higher level. Oldelpaso 17:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SK Hakoah Malmö

Non-notable minor amateur football club playing in level 8 of the Swedish football pyramid. As a comparison, English football clubs are only considered notable if playing in level 10 or above, and England has about five times more players than Sweden. – Elisson • Talk 15:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Could you provide a link that confirms them playing at level 8, since one is not found in the article? Punkmorten 19:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Swedish FA - Division 6 table, Division 6 in this case means level 8 as the Swedish league system starts with Allsvenskan, Superettan, and then Division 1. It should also be noted that there are 6 fourth level leagues, 12 fifth level leagues, ≈30 sixth level leagues, ≈50 seventh level leagues and then ≈70 eight level leagues... – Elisson • Talk 20:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this article. The club is an important part of the history of the Jews in Sweden and is as well a social club that doesn't just have an amateur football club. Part of the Maccabi World Union it is a good resource to find information on such clubs history, see SC Hakoah Wien for instance. Please don't delete this article. Why do you think it is in the Maccabi category? So we wouldn't go through this with our clubs. This is also a great resource for people who are looking for information on them when most information is in Swedish. NYC2TLV 21:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I can't see how this club is an important part of the history of Jews in Sweden. Care to explain? And being a social club doesn't make it notable. And being part of a category does also not make it notable. And the article being in English when most information on the club is in Swedish does also not make it notable. – Elisson • Talk 20:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No verifiable evidence of notability. More reliable sources needed to show the importance. Edison 20:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable in its own write, Jewish clubs are historically important to their communities and the shaping of these communities in the diaspora. Each on has a specific geography and importance to the developement of each community. I would even go as far to suggest that the entire hierarchy of Swedish football (every club listed) be allowed to be on Wiki since they are difficult to find information about them/their backgrounds and histories.SpeechFreedom 18:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mistress Yvette

I will take on this project and straighten out the form issues on the page, it will just take some time. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the system. Arguement: Whether this gal is now 50 years old or not has nothing to do with the viability of her contributions to the adult industry for 25 years. Her porn contributions are mostly in the fetish arena, YES. This isnt as main stream as some others, but still notable in that market nitch. She's very well known in the BDSM community. It isnt just realing out porn videos as much as a LIFE spent entertaining men in most all arenas of adult entertainment. Have you ever popped into a Gentlemen's Club and met her over her 25 years? She's retiring at the end of 2006. This article is not self promotion of Ms Wilde however she provided information to the writer. I personally feel this just marks her place in history. How many of you have a Paradise Galleries doll made of you? This didn't happen "just because" RBFAST

Article as it stands right now does make a valid argument for her to be considered notable as per WP:BIO and the WP:PORN BIO proposed guidelines. This is arguably a Vanity one and possibly one that is Autobiographical, given that the the bulks of the edits to this article was done by User:Yvette38dd, who has not contributed to any other articles. Tabercil 15:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. WP:PORN BIO isn't an accepted guideline, but if it were, the article wouldn't pass that either as written.

[edit] Mary Wooldridge

The article currently violates WP:BIO (being a relative of notable people is a consideration for notability), and WP:V (from what I see in Google I can't find an article from a third-party reliable source about her specifically - lot of brief mentions, but not a substantial article). I don't care whether she's virtually a lock-in (per Rebecca's comments on the talk page) and the article will be recreated in six months, once she's a candidate (that's predicting the future aka crystal ball); rewrite the article in six months. It seems a little harsh, but I don't want Wikipedia turning into a election platform, and it looks like that's exactly what happened (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Gymer). ColourBurst 15:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Unelected candidates in non-national races don't seem notable enough to me. Deli nk 19:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. What is the point of deleting this article now only to definitely have to recreate it later? Unlike Gymer, Wooldridge is a virtual certainty to be elected. Rebecca 01:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Having a neutral point of view. Like I said, arbitrarily deciding the outcome of an election isn't the purpose of Wikipedia, even if it is guaranteed (of which we only have your word. See WP:V, which this article also doesn't meet.) ColourBurst 01:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The page isn't here to arbitrarily decide the outcome of an election. It's here because she's notable, on the basis that she will, pending a major upset that no poll I've seen has so far predicted, enter parliament in a matter of months. It may be unsourced at present, but it's fairly clearly verifiable - do some research before complaining. Rebecca 02:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment See also WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If her notability only hinges on the election outcome, then we're predicting she'll win (since candidates are not notable, whereas elected officials are). If she's notable by some other criteria in WP:BIO, then fine, she stays. However, the onus is on you to get the sources required, since you're arguing to keep the article. ColourBurst 04:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• . I know Mary Wooldridge and she will meet WP:BIO if she is elected to the Victorian parliament. A search of EBBSCO's Australia and New Zealand database comes up with some mentions of her name. However, it might not be enough to get her over the line at the moment. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 03:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Political candidates are not notable until they get elected. She has not been elected yet. Seems very clear-cut to me. Lankiveil 05:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC).
  • What on earth is the purpose of deleting an article now when we know we will have to recreate it in less than a month and it has perfectly verifiable content? This is deletionism gone silly. Rebecca 00:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Rebecca. The difference bewteen Wooldridge and Gymer is that Wooldridge will likely be elected, where as Gymer has no chance. Teiresias84 03:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article does not meet WP:BIO (notability) or WP:V (Verifiability) guidelines. The application of these criteria should be consistent in Wikipedia. The article is furthering the profile of a political candidate while the article of a peer candidate (Chris Gymer) has just been deleted. Also note that she is running in a marginal seat (Doncaster), and may not be elected. If she is, an article would be warranted. --Peter Campbell 03:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Is this supposed to be revenge for the Gymer deletion? Gymer had no chance of being elected, whereas Wooldridge is a virtual-certainty. The article would be easily verifiable if anyone actually bothered to do so, and will undoubtedly be recreated in exactly this state in three weeks time if it is deleted now. This is plainly silly. Rebecca 08:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • No, this is not revenge. If this was a real motive I would have nominated this article for deletion, and you will recall that I chose not to. I don't think it is silly to apply policy and guidelines in a consistent manner - I think this is just good process, and quite straightforward. Conversely, I don't think that bending or interpreting guidelines based on perceptions about what may happen in the future is good practice or fair. --Peter Campbell 10:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • We're not bending anything. Deleting a page now, only to have to definitely recreate exactly the same article in exactly the same state is the very definition of stupidity. Rebecca 01:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
        • I don't think it is stupid at all, so let's agree to differ. I have copyedited the content to [32] and will reinstate the article if it is deleted and she gets elected. However, it does need more references and content to improve it from being an electioneering puff piece. Peter Campbell 03:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
          • What is the point of taking it off the site when it has potential readers? Delete it after the election if the unlikely occurs and she actually loses. Rebecca 09:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Cleanup This article currently only cites self-published works (the candidate's web site, and the liberal party web site). This does not conform with wikipedia's policies on reliable sources. Andjam 13:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete She gets a page when she gets elected, not as part of her election campaign. Besides, she is not a shoo-in. The margin in her seat is only a couple of percent, and she replaces a prominent and long-serving member.--Michael Johnson 22:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment There is an election within 45 days in Victoria. If this article is kept, then from a NPOV I would think that all candidates should be allowed an article. The problem is that a Wiki entry will come up in a Google search, and may give the impression that one candidate is "more notable" than others. The question we should be asking, is strip the article of any mention of her standing for Parliament, and is she notable enough? And BTW I would have voted for the Gymer deletion, too. --Michael Johnson 00:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I have no issue with giving all candidates pages, but I'm clearly in the minority on that one. What I do take serious objection to, is deleting a page on someone who is almost definitely going to win, as deleting a page when one knows that one will definitely have to recreate it in three weeks is madness. And her imminent entry into parliament is the reason why she is notable, so excluding that from the rationale would be rather illogical. Rebecca 01:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Doncaster would take a swing of 0.8% to fall to the Labor party. Given that long-term members are normally supposed to have a personal vote of 1 to 2%, I'd be working hard for her right now, because if everything else stays the same, she is gone. So no, it is not a sure thing. As has been said before, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. As for all candidates having articles, well perhaps you are right, but that is not the status quo on Wikipedia right now. BTW, it would be nothing to copy the edit page on the article and store it on your computer for a few weeks. --Michael Johnson 02:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Except that every single poll I've seen in recent months has showed a swing to the Liberal Party, which makes Wooldridge's victory a virtual certainty. Having to take the article off the site for three weeks is stupid - in the unlikely event that she loses, delete the article then. Rebecca 09:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Rebecca, the article is here because the subject is notable. RFerreira 01:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Rebecca. Peter, I don't find your suggestion very satisfactory because the history will be lost, violating the GFDL. The best option is to keep the article and delete it after the election if need be. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment But as previously noted, this gives her some electoral advantage over other candidates - which is pretty clearly the intent of the article. Is this what Wikipedia is about? Peter Campbell 13:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Murder Rate

Straight copy of data from another source, not a copyvio, but not useful. Not an article. Is an orphan. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep.It is a straight copy but so are all the other lists (ie: gdp/flags ext). However I have changed the stats from # per 1000 to # per 100,000. I feel it is more conceptually realistic when dealing with murder rates.

  I think it is quite relevant as the murder rate of both the world and individual countries is likely to be of interest to people (I know it was to me since I was looking for it before starting this article) and yes it does have links from it.

  Also I would love to see more details added to it (maybe some statistics on whether the murder rate is rising or falling). I might do that myself in the next couple of days. --Maximg 15:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• It's as useful as List of countries by death rate is (and indeed as List of countries by suicide rate is), and it's sourced to a UN survey. It should of course be at List of countries by murder rate, per our Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Naming_conventions. Uncle G 16:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Expand/Cleanup Like Maximg, I once looked for some data on international murder rates on Wikipedia, but I came up empty at the time. While I think this article is far too bare-bones to be sufficient, I'd like to see a decent article on this subject expanded out of the bare data. -Markeer 16:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • You're probably looking for Murder#Murder_demographics. Uncle G 16:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, but if you look you'll note the link at the top of that section leads back to the article currently being considered for AfD (i.e., it redirects to Murder Rate -Markeer 19:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but Rename to List of countries by murder rate thus wiping the redirect. The problem is this is a worthless article (because there is no prose content) but a valuable list so make the name fit the content and be done with it. --Richard 05:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  ok give me a couple of hours and ill try and expand it into a larger article... --Maximg 06:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment The problem is that the "article" starts by saying "This is a list..." and then provides a list. So, if it is a list, then rename the title to indicate that it is a list. A good article about murder rate might talk about comparisons of murder rates in different countries and what causes the differences (longer jail sentences, death penalty, strong law enforcement, education, poverty, etc.). Also a discussion of how murder rate data is collected and whether there are methodological issues in collection techniques that make it difficult to compare murder rate data across countries. Etc., etc., etc.

--Richard 07:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• KeepBut get some more up to date stats. Iraq isn't even in the list, with 2000 cops a year murdered and dozens of people murdered a day in Baghdad alone.Edison 20:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and Expand because yes, the article needs more up to date stats on it. In the eight to six years since this report was researched and subsequently published, some rates have fallen and risen, sometimes significantly (Colombia wouldn't top the list if the same survey were made in 2005/2006, though it'd still be high). The list itself can stay, if necessary, but later and current trends should be reflected somehow. The list remains a good resource for showing what murder rates were like half a decade ago, but it's not that accurate today. Juancarlos2004 20:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename per Richard. Eluchil404 08:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purvis Parker and Quadrevion Henning

Whilst I am very sorry these boys drownned, this seems to be little more than a footnote in local history.

I decided to withhold my decision for now as I'm curious what others' thoughts are. The story made it to the AP news wire and CNN, so maybe it was one of those epic "local boy trapped in the well" stories on a smaller scale. Sulfur 17:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Yes, but even if this was verifiable, there's a huge difference between "appeared with" and "toured with".

[edit] List of trivia from Pulp Fiction

A whole article about trivia isn't needed at all. Per WP:TRIVIA, and Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles, this page doesn't belong. RobJ1981 16:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Pulp Fiction invites so much trivia (I've indulged in an edit or two myself) that it almost seems like this article should exist as an intentional stopping point on the way for these tidbits headed towards removal.

[edit] Huping Hu

Biography of a "biophysicist and attorney in private practice". Liberally seasoned with "citation needed" tags, this article fails to satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) proposal (not to mention notability practice in general) and is almost certainly a vanity piece. The anon IP who created it, 24.185.23.19 (talk · contribs), also edited New York Law School, which Hu apparently attended, as well as spamming Consciousness, Spin and Quantum mind with Hu's Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory (currently also up for deletion).

This piece was initially written by me when Wikipedia was in its infant stage back in 2004 as a way to introduce our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory and its originator, me, because someone cited our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory in the Consciousness and, I believe, quantum mind entry. Of course, I'm not notable and vanity is last thing I have in mind. I'm perfect happy with my life and work without any entry to Wikipedia. Please be advised that Anville's statement with respect to spamming is factually false and, upon information and belief, libelous. Our Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory speaks for itself and if it was added or edited within quantum mind and spin the purpose was related to relevancy not vanity.
