[edit] Super Refraction

Super Refraction (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Notability. There are millions and millions and millions of under-the-radar bands and the thought of listing them all here will obscure the true informative value of wikipedia and reduce it to a record store's $2 bargain bin Toonot 16:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The Wikipedia rule of thumb (per WP:BAND#Albums) is that if a band meets notability, then the band's albums also do. Since the band's article is also under AfD, I suggest waiting to see that outcome of that discussion. If not, please note that the album received positive reviews in the All Music Guide and the Boston Herald; and while Egg Records a is seemingly unknown indie label, it was actually bankrolled by Elektra during the fake-indie label craze of the late-'90s (reference from The Phoenix).) On a side note, this is the first instance where I've seen an AfD discussion also stuck on the top of the article's page (see article). Since I created the article and don't want to be accused of WP:COI, can someone please remove the {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super Refraction}} tag from that page (unless, of course, it is actually supposed to go there)? (thanks Evb-wiki, for taking care of that.) Closenplay 18:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prophetic Year

Prophetic Year (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

No sources and unencyclopedic Svetovid 23:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

The sources are Sir Robert Anderson's "The Coming Prince" where the term "prophetic year" is used and Robert Fleming's "The Rise and Fall of Papacy" where the term "prophetical year" is used. The sources are clearly documented so don't understand comment. One could comment that only two sources are given which would be true. And in which case more sources could be added beside these two, (which were added to help to illustrate the use of the term in literature). Googling "prophetic year" brings up so many sources that to not include the definition in "Wikipedia" appears to be unusual.Theporter 00:35, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE Svetovid 23:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This is apparently either a mistaken nomination or an attempt to change policy. We have many hundred such articles. We have over 40 article in Category:Embassies and High Commissions in Ottawa alone. Many of them are quite substantial articles. If the nom would like to change this situation, the place to go is the Village Pump-- not by deleting an individual one . DGG 00:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Numerous embassy articles are already established e.g. Embassy of Israel in London, Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, etc. and should be considered uniformly notable. Picking and choosing particular nation-to-nation diplomatic missions for deletion would constitute WP:BIAS and therefore violate WP:NPOV. Dl2000 00:22, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

"held annually, since 2003", "created by Rob Powell", "For the four years this event has taken place, Rob Powell has won it each time." However someone should create an article on Rob Powell as "the Greatest Athlete In History" 650l2520 23:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Can this event be sourced using information independant of the event, its organisers, and the people involved? (ie, reliable, third party sources). If not, the article should be deleted as unverifiable. The same goes for the person, if there's no independant sources, there's no article. -- saberwyn 23:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, There does not appear to be such an event. The term World Fitness Championships does not appear to be sufficiently unique - e.g., the IBBF also makes use of this name in some of their major body building competitions, as may have the WFF. Mr. Powell claims to hold (and even to have shattered) a Guinness WR - physical fitness. This is despite the Guinness site not appearing to have such a record. Pever 23:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mormon teachings about extraterrestrial life

Mormon teachings about extraterrestrial life (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Concerns exist regarding WP:N and possibly WP:OR SESmith 22:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It has references and if there is any concerns it can be rewritten or just simply remove what you think is OR and use the talk page first. Therefore, no reason to delete. :) - Mr.Gurü (^talk/_contribs) 23:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge some of the information with Latter-Day Saints or something. Not original research because there's lots of sources. Useight 23:22, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Abstain — I have been too recently involved in the heated discussions on this article. Though, to give my opinion on this subject: There are great concerns about lack of secondary sources, links only from only two articles (in See Also sections), and a certain contributor owning the article. There are also concerns about the name of the article and the emphasis placed in the article. (See the article's talk page.) If I were to be pushed (by this same certain contributor) to change from an abstain, I would change my vote to at least rename but probably delete. Val42 23:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article is well sourced, and since the actual sources are quoted, its fair. i think this is a valid use of primary sources. It is true that one of the eds. does seem to be animated by bias, but the present article does not reflect this. There was clearly no consensus on the talk page about a change. The objections to this article represent COI and the failure of some eds. to obtain ownership. DGG 00:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and resolve dispute at talk - I don't think AfD is the way to resolve this issue. It would be useful to try to thrash out a balanced article at the talk page (specific concerns will need to be stated rather than a vague "WP:N and possibly WP:OR") and perhaps consider renaming if there's a consensus to do so. However, since there are quite clearly reliable sources in evidence that at least some prominent LDS leaders have espoused these views, deleting the article altogether doesn't look like the right solution. --YFB ¿ 00:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I purposefully kept the reasons in the proposal "vague" to avoid reproducing the mass of material on the Talk page about these concerns. Ample detail can be found there on what the concerns are. -SESmith 01:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Sometimes Wikipedia has the unfortunate ability to evolve into a collection of personal blog articles or soap boxes. Though this started out as such, it can turn into a worthy article. The title needs to be changed and continued work on expanding the content will help. There are some definite issues regarding notability that need to be decided. Some of these issues probably have more to do with difficult relationships with an editor. I am rather Cromagnon like; to me editing is a priviledge and abuse should be given a very short leash. Those who abuse our policies just because of ease should be banned indefinitely because they add nothing to Wikipedia but abuse. Chances beyond the 3rd should be withdrawn; certainly those where the chances seem endless. --Storm Rider ^(talk) 01:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and Rename - There has been some debates that the article should be renamed to something more along the lines of classifying the content as scientific theories of church leaders rather than prophecy by LDS prophets. I think it should be renamed and kept. There were some very good suggestions on the talk page of possible names. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 03:32, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Move or Merge to an article about obscure teachings by Mormon leaders - i think this could be quite an interesting article about obscure teachings, such as BY telling parowan stake youth to get married at age 16 - in the same instructions as telling widowers not to remarry. Or how about the hankerchief of Wilford Woodruff that was used by Smith to heal hundreds at Commerce (later Nauvoo), that was later credited with the healings of hundreds of others. Or the early dietary teachings of BY, including the OT-like abstaining from Pork. There are dozens of other teachings which could make an interesting articel, but how this one stands, it is simply a list of quotes that should be put on Wikiquotes. In any case, there are multiple connotation issues with the current title - it leads the reader to believe that Mormons currently teach about aliens, rather than the more accurate, "God's creations of worlds is numberless." And, the title doesn't follow current Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Latter Day Saints) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Latter Day Saints) as this deals with the broader Latter Day Saint movement, and not just the LDS Church. Simply said, I don't think it has enough material to stand on its own. It is like an article on George W. Bush's pronounciation of "Nuclear." -Visorstuff 05:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Much of this appears to me to be original research because there are quotes that seem to be left open to interpretation, such as: "That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God." Given the article title, it is clear what the editor here is trying to suggest, but this is not appropriate. This is my first reading of the article so I am not commenting on whether to delete or keep yet, this is just my first impression. A large part of the other sourced material is quotes. This again leaves the suggestion to the reader to interpret the quotes, rather than citing work from an independent researcher. If there are no independent articles/books/journals about this topic this also makes me wonder about the subject's notability. Aside from these opinions, my feeling right now is the article is needlessly long and too quote heavy, and it would do well merged to an appropriate article. daveh4h 06:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - There seems to be some serious original research problems here, at least the version I'm looking at (diff). The intro and entire first section make a number of assertions that have no references except for two quotations from LDS scripture (which are primary sources, and used interpretively, to boot). This would seem to be a clear-cut WP:NOR violation, as phrases such as "which can be read as implying" and "it is believed" demonstrate. The second section contains quotes attributed to Smith by a third party, which the text goes on to indicate have "strong doubts about [their] reliability", and of which no indication is given that they represent a significant school of thought in LDS teaching. It is followed by a long quote from Young, again with nothing to connect it with Mormon belief or anything else. Finally, a brief section of more recent quotes, as opposed to actual references demonstrating the article's thesis (and for what it is worth, the Maxwell quote could be attributed to Carl Sagan with little difficulty). Whether or not there is some core belief in extraterrestrial life in Morman teaching is moot - this article makes no attempt to properly document any such thing. If there is, there should be some solid references available either from LDS publications, or scholarly works on the LDS. This is an essay, not an article. Quietvoice 07:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Admitted sockpuppet see User:Quietvoice. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 07:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

No, acknowledged alternate account (see WP:SOCK#LEGIT). I have no especial interest in (or edits to) LDS articles, nor what seems (from a quick glance at User:Jeffrey Vernon Merkey) to be some sort of hubbub around the above editor. I came across this on AfD, followed back to the article, and found an essay as described above. Not wishing to get embroiled in potential religious zealotry I used my alternate account, as I have done on a few occasions in the past. For all I know Mormons do (or did) explicitly teach extraterrestrial life as church doctrine, but if so then there needs to be references to reliable sources reporting this, not an original research essay. Quietvoice 08:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

It appears to be a legitimate use of WP:SOCK#LEGIT. I doubt someone who is nefariously using a sockpuppet would announce it on their user page. -SESmith 08:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC) (nominator)

• Keep, notability of this topic has been readily addressed by Uncle G; title and content can be worked out on the talk page. John Vandenberg 11:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Per reasons provided by the nominator, as well as WP:V issues. For the purpose of fair disclosure, I will openly state that I consider myself to be an long term less-active non-practising member of the church in question. As a non-practising past member of that faith, this article does not sit well with me (And even prompted me to do some serious looking into the information being presented within, even contacting other past and present members to obtain their views). After much consideration and research into this matter, I am openly prepared to suggest that the premise of the article in question is complete bollocks. Two of the references in the article cite an organisation known as the Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research who state on their website that All research and opinions provided on this site... should not be interpreted as official statements of LDS doctrine, belief or practice. Secondly, the article in any case lacks sufficient citations and references to support the assertion that the church in question per the articles assertions believes that persons on other planets are extraterrestrial life. In fact, the opening of the article totally contradicts such assertions, As such, it is believed that there are other worlds that are peopled and that they would also have been created in his image and after his likeness similar to this world.. I think that the interpretation of the beliefs, doctrines, statements or value systems of any religious order can be quite dangerous specially considering the ability of others to take such content out of context. I am even more concerned that the main contributor to the article in question, Jeffrey Vernon Merkey, which I have independently become aware of as a known long-term POV-pusher in relation to Latter-day Saint articles and has a long and documented history of doing so. This was to the point where he has actually banned from en.wp twice in the last 45 days, one for massive disruption, and despite mentoring assistance from some respected admins has failed to be more considered in his contributions (diff) (RFC. I do not mean to continue on discussing the user, but regrettably his previous actions necessitates their discussion in the context of this AfD. He previously has edited en.wp under the username Gadugi (block log} which was blocked indef on 15 Oct 2005. I also recall, which an admin who I converse with often, do recall the user in question making statements on talk pages relating to the speedy deletion (as an attack article) of one entry titled mormon men in black in which he claimed he had suffered some level of oppression in both personal and business life at what he claimed was the hands of Mormon interests. I have as yet been unable to find the diff in question regarding this, but regardless this goes to a conflict of interest in relation to his editorial activities. It is regrettable that even after multiple and continued opportunities to reform his act, a user such as Merkey continues to act in a manner on en.wp which does nothing to damage the reputation of himself, the community, and the encyclopaedia at large. Thewinchester ^(talk) 12:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

These comments I categorically deny. They are inappropiate for a deletion discussion on the notability of an article. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 18:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment They are appropriate here as they go to the editorial leanings of yourself as core contributor to the article, and your rather colourful history of contribution to en.wp. Why is it you only ever comment on those who challenge you? On the information I have regarding your activities at the Cherokee wikipedia, you run the place with an iron fist and block anyone there who disagrees with you. If you're going to comment on my comments, address the concerns with the article and provide some meaningful input other than the constant Anti-religion rants that we've seen from you thusfar. Further, with due respect to the well intended contributions of UncleG, I don't think adding a further reading list of three books deals with the WP:RS or WP:OR concerns here, as they are just information on books, and they have not been cited inline to either support or disprove the core content. Thewinchester ^(talk) 22:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I am not going to debate with you on this. There's that anti-mormon accusation again. Personal attacks do not belong in discussions on article notability. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 23:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Eureka! Rename and expand to Mormon cosmology. Uncle G has satisfied my concerns about reliable secondary sources (thanks very much, Uncle G), so the narrowness and phrasing of the original topic are my only remaining concerns. I think "Mormon cosmology" is broad enough to encompass not only the notion of life on other worlds, but also various ideas about the Creation, ancient astronomy, Kolob, and so forth, and will accommodate a balance of viewpoints regarding these ideas. (I'm uncertain whether such an article should be LDS-centric or attempt to cover the range of denominations within the Latter Day Saint movement; if the former, then "LDS cosmology" or something like that might be more in line with established Wikipedia naming conventions.) alanyst ^/talk/ 14:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• My concern about dealing with the broader LDS movement on this topic is the tendency to cut off discussion to topics prior to 1845, and uncertainty that there is much in terms of content by other denominations within the LDS movement. I don't know any CoC Science Fiction authors, but I do know some that are members of the LDS Church, just to give an example. Or astronauts for that matter (who get asked all kinds of weird questions about life in the cosmos and have responded in quotable public statements). --Robert Horning

• Keep and move per Alanyst. AfD is not cleanup, or the place to resolve content disputes. There are enough sources in this article to establish that it is notable and based in fact. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as to the move, two people can have identical views about extraterrestrial life and quite different cosmologies, so is "cosmology" an appropriate term here? Carlossuarez46 21:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep substantial topic. JJL 23:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Mormon leaders have made comments—some of them weird—about extraterrestrials. Do these statements constitute a doctrine or belief system for the church? The answer appears to be no; the article says, "the LDS Church has not explicitly adopted any official doctrines on the existence or absence of extraterrestrials." Lacking any underlying doctrine, the quotes are disconnected. For example, Brigham Young doesn't try to defend Joseph Smith's comment about people on the moon dressed like Quakers; instead he's got his own theory about life on the sun. All of these quotes are sort of strange, but Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Not every weird comment made by Joseph Smith merits its own article; surely the standard for notability needs to be that it mattered to the church and its adherents. Sanpete Slim 04:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rename - I would have to agree that the current name of this article is certainly not the best one that could be used for a topic of this nature, although it doesn't need an AfD for that to be accomplished. There is sufficient material from a range of people including contemporary LDS leaders or even LDS astronauts that would make a broad article talking about LDS perspectives about the relationship of mankind in the universe something worthy of a Wikipedia article. Reliability of sources and POV issues are a huge concern, but I think those could be dealt with through normal editing processes. The idea of renaming to Mormon cosmology does sound like something a bit more appropriate in terms of a general theme. I would also point out that there are also some LDS scriptural references that are doctrinal which would apply in such an article rename and could help with maintaining an NPOV. And to help diffuse the problems of opening a back door to UFO researchers seeking legitimacy on Wikipedia. --Robert Horning 13:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep and rename The article is well referenced, and it appears to be a notable topic. Actually, I found it interesting, but of course, that is a personal opinion. The name is bad however. It should be renamed. Orangemarlin 23:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Qumsieh's syndrome (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This is a description of a rare form of headache that doesn't respond to a painkiller. All very good, until we find out that it has not yet been published, and there is a reasonable chance it will not be accepted for publication. There is also a reasonable chance it will not be named after the medical student who claims to have discovered it. Delete, WP:NOR. JFW | T@lk 22:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Cephalalgia 1992, 12:57-59. View the PubMed notation for this reference. In addition, your correct, Qumsieh's syndrome is yet to be accepted by peer review jourals, but will be submitted in July, this condition exists and at very least an article comparing and contrasting or describing the condition should be allowed. Your not basing your judgement on science as it seems you don't know anything about headaches. This particular headache does not respond to painkillers completely. At first there is a decrease in the magnitude of pain then resistance develops. This particular patient continues to have the same headache described under Hemicrania continua but is not responding to indomethacin. In addition, no autonomic features are present. I don't care if the medical student has his name on it or not this is an issue of describing a disease variant. Describing, not diagnosing or treating. Please be reasonable user jfdwolff. vote for no deletion. thanks Hitman123 22:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I submit that your statement "it seems you don't know anything about headaches" constitutes a personal attack.

Violates Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When it's been published somewhere reliable, then it could be considered for inclusion. Also, syndromes are not usually defined based on 1 patient; no evidence that this eponym is going to be used, even assuming that "indomethacin-resistant hemicrania" is someday accepted as a separate syndrome (there's a general move away from eponyms these days); zero reliable sources; I'd go on, but I'm getting an NSAID-resistant headache.

• By admission there are no peer-revied scholarly sources on this article.

• Keep The Moorings as other guard-gated communities have a place on Wikipedia. After all there is a Catergory Page with lists of many US guard-grated communities and if The Moorings is removed, what protects the rest? Refer to Harry Havemeyer's book Along the Great South Bay for more information on the topic. Long Island's South Shore has faced a wave a regeneration from time to time and area in which The Moorings exists is particularly significant. It was home to H. B. Hollins, a famed Wall Street Banker. In the fall of Hollin's firm, he subdivided the property and sold it off to Charles Lanier Lawrence.--24.186.83.117 14:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Please don't remove the AfD tag from the article when the AfD is still running. I trust you did it in good faith, but this can be seen as serious disruption. Malc82 21:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep As per above. Just looked it up on VisualEarth, it seems clearly notable enough for an article. Apart from that, since current consensus on WP is that every settlement deserves an article I would also include every neighborhood and every gated community. Malc82 21:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I would not like to be interpreted as advocating that. Gated communities are not inherently more notable than other real estate developments, unless they receive significant coverage--as some do. Nor is everything that is called a "neighborhood" by a real estate agent. We should always want more documentation than just advertisements. This one has it, DGG 00:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Look at List of Manhattan neighborhoods and countless others to see what I meant by neighborhood. While some of them may be the brainchild of real estate agents, they usually are notable. Gated communities, as the name suggests, are usually not very integrated with the surrounding locations, so they kind of form a settlement of their own. Malc82 07:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The Moorings, New York is significant in the New York Society as the land was originally owned by a prominent family of New York Society, J. Mainwaring. Eventually, the Mainwaring family later sold the estate to the family of Harry Hollins, a prominent New York investment banker and a notable family in the Anglo-American Aristocracy. During the demise of H.B. Hollins & Co, the banking firm which Hollins formed, his estate was subdivided and sold to Charles Lawrance. The Lawrance family was also world renowned, Charles himself for architecture marvels (a graduate of Ecole de Beaux Arts) and for major aviation contributions. He invented and perfected the Wright Whirlwind engine which was utilized by the most famous of aviators including Amelia Earnhart and Admiral Richard Byrd. After Lawrance's death the estate once again was sold and subdivided with the intention to maintain a level of affluence. Advertisements in every publication catering to Long Island and New York's wealth mentioned the formation of this community. It highlighted its previous notable owners and boasted its creator’s vision. The Moorings was able to attract very prominent families who desired to live in lavious homes behind a veil of privacy and security. However, this former estate is important in the history of Long Island and the once tony South Shore. The Moorings epitomizes wealth and opulence, an ideal the South Shore was once known for. And although the homes are no where as elaborate as the 30,000sq foot estates of days before it is still an icon to the past. Yet, its seclusion leads to it being unnoticed and leaves this ideal of wealth to be forgotten.--LongIslander 22:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Conceptually, this would merely recount the races in the setting, which would be reasonable in terms of WP:FICT, especially since World of Warcraft is distinct from the Warcraft universe. That said, I'm certainly not enamored of the contents of the page, and if you want to suggest starting over from a blank page, I won't object. Nor to a redirect section on Warcraft universe.

"Hope" and "dream" yes but so is the idea Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state. Is there enough progress to justify a stand-alone article? I don't think so but that doesn't mean it has to disappear from Wikipedia entirely. I've added the verifiable parts to Professional sport in Toronto#Football.

I applaud the initiative of the editors who have created dozens of pages for the top picks in the draft, but I don't think Smoker meets WP:BIO as a high school prospect who wasn't even picked in the top 30. In baseball, the amateur draft is relatively unimportant because of the minor leagues -- a team's top prospects are more notable than top draft choices. SliceNYC (Talk) 01:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I would also suggest adding to this AfD debate all the picks from the sandwich round (picks #31-64), most of whom have pages about them made already. A case for notability can be made for most of the top 30, especially those known for their collegiate accomplishments, but I think the other picks can wait until they develop into minor league prospects. SliceNYC (Talk) 01:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

he is a top prospect and just fell he should have been drafted higher. i think it should stay but maybe i guess i could recreate it when he reaches AA or AAA in the minors. but it you guys really think it should go then that's fine.

    • The All Music Guide and Boston Herald are both reliable sources. Closenplay 19:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Evb-wiki. WP:BAND only needs one of its criteria met, and this band meets two:
  • been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable: check the references section for articles in the Boston Globe, Phoenix, and Weekly Dig (and see the talk page for another feature from the Globe that I recently accessed but hadn't incorporated into the article yet), plus their All Music Guide entry in "External links"
  • released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels: while Bedazzled isn't a mega-major indie, they were around for over ten years and released albums by many small-yet-notable bands (mostly goth and shoegaze). Egg Records seems to be an unknown indie label but it was in fact bankrolled by Elektra Records, when the indie craze hit in the mid-'90s (reference from The Phoenix).

(disclosure: I have heavily edited the article in question, and created the articles for the band's albums). Closenplay 19:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Not sure on this myself. I went through the links provided in the article; some of them are minimal mentions of the band, others are indeed full-length pieces, and a couple are broken. I'd be more comfortable with "multiple, non-trivial" mentions if there were some references from outside of Boston; as it is, it looks like the band was known in its own area, and didn't really get beyond Boston. One of the interviews describes Egg Records as being the band's own label, and I don't find much other than the mention in the Phoenix about it being a "shadow" label; Bedazzled seems a bit dodgy too. If someone can show me some links from outside of Boston, indications of national tours, etc., I'd give this some more consideration, but for now, weak delete. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 00:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the band meets the notability criteria. There's nothing in the notability criteria which states that they have to have coverage from different regions of the world, just that they have to have coverage from reliable sources. This article's well written (perhaps excluding the "notable artists they've played with" section) and referenced, and I see no reason it should be deleted. - Zeibura ^Talk 05:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, the criteria are clearly outlined and this page does not meet them. You are opening the floodgates. Poster above cited two and they are simply not true.
  • released two or more albums on a major label - they did not. or one of the more important indie labels Important indie labels = discord, subpop, matador, 4AD, taang!, SST, saddle creek, tommy boy, priority... the list goes on but does not include bedazzled. To say so is some major heavy favoritism by a mod and totally sucks. Egg is the bands own label!
  • been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable NON-TRIVIAL... the mentions in the boston rags are the definition of trivial.

At the very least, strike some of the supporting album pages. As I said this is not myspace.com Toonot 16:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Even if you doubt the statement in the Phoenix article that Egg was bankrolled by a major label ("about three years ago, when they were secretly aligned to a major label (their last album… came out on Egg, a "ghost indie" imprint that was quietly financed by Elektra)… Executives were sniffing around the band, and hints were dropped about moving them… up to Elektra proper and giving the big push")—an article written by someone who wrote the book on record collecting (literally)—Egg is certainly not the band's own label. The band was in Boston, the label in Indianapolis. The only thing I can find that Tony Fox might be referring to above is "now available on MT's new label, Egg Records", which I guess could be misconstrued. But considering Egg reissued Lisa Germano's first album four years prior to the sole MT release on that label, it just doesn't follow logically. And if you consider the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, and the Phoenix "rags", I don't know what else to say. Closenplay 19:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

As for deleting the album pages, WP:BAND says if the band's notable, the albums are notable. Closenplay 19:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justice House of Prayer

Justice House of Prayer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This organization is not notable. There are no reliable sources. The All Things Considered link is actually about a group called "The Cause USA". And it is a single 5 minute story from 2005 sparked by the Terri Schiavo case. The group in the NPR story is lead by Kelsey and Randy Bohlender. There is no mention of Lou Engle. These are two separate organizations that are allied, but the article confuses that. There are no other media sources referenced at all. The organizations websites are linked, and an online Christian newsletter is linked. This organization is not the subject of multiple, non-trivial media stories. The founder and a rally also appeared in a documentary film, Jesus Camp. I do not believe there are enough reliable sources to establish the notability of this organization.

Thanks, at least, for letting me in on a debate, instead of deleting this without a word. I guess I should be honored that you've picked my article about the nearly two million already there. So many of them are about television episodes from someone's favorite TV series, singles from an obscure album from your favorite recording artist, "characters in the DC Universe", etc.

Oh my, I've run afoul of the Wikipedia administrators and editors. Let me be as obsequious as possible. May I bring anybody some tea and biscuits? I hope that you can take criticism as well as you can give it.

Let's start-- "a claim by a film historian who's notability is not asserted". What's that mean? Do you have your own list of notable film historians? Or should I precede his name with "Noted film historian"?. Granted, you haven't seen the gentleman on television, but at least he's a published author. Mandsford 19:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - oh dear god. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is not a collection of loosely-associated topics. The presence of a line in a bunch of different films doesn't make for any level of association amongst the films. We have deleted any number of articles on cliches in film, video games, comic books and the like and this article about a specific cliche is no better. Let's get (it) out of here. Otto4711 14:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it's "Oh dear God!"-- exclamation point and dramatically rolling your eyes is optional. This is not in the same category as The Clampetts strike oil. Among film fans, the occurrence of the phrase is a point of interest. It's a movie cliche' like the fruit cart that gets in the way of the car chase, or the character who dies before he can reveal a secret. Lighten up.

I loved the article Mr. President (TV series), which revealed that it was a TELEVISION series. So THAT's what "TV" stands for.

• Potentially this could be a decent article, but it should probably be renamed to something like Let's get out of here (movie quote). Also, I would recommend revising the article so as not to imply that Richard Gere said "Let's get out of here" in American Grafitti [sic]. Please consider this a neutral recommendation for now, but if User:Mandsford responds to this recommendation sarcastically, it should be considered a delete recommendation. --Metropolitan90 19:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Everyone (everyone, that is, who has actually looked at the article on its individual merits rather than blanket voting) agrees that a merger is appropriate here.

comment yes people do but not every murder in the uk makes it in to the news this one did so some form of notability must have been generated. Also wiki is not american so stop applying american standards to non-american articles. Murder rates in the UK are on about 800 a year, compared to the 16500 murdered in America. Murder is lower in the uk the ones which attract media attention are even fewer so saying poeple die every day is true, but every single death is not reported.--Lucy-marie 23:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Media attention does not equal encyclopaedic merit. It only snows 30 days a year in the UK - when it does it is recorded in every newspaper - doesn't mean it is encyclopaedic.--Doc^g 23:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It probably would be in an article on "Climate in the UK", but on the flip side of the coin there would be multiple reliable sources beyond the newspaper articles.-- saberwyn 00:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

commentIn the correct context that would be acceptable and agin you are providing wild examples with no direct baring to anythign just to try and be as extreme as possible. The case must have a form of notability in the first place or the media would not have picked it up and don't all encyclopedia articles have to be news articles to start with to be noticed in the first place?--Lucy-marie 23:41, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

WTF? The media if fickle and lazy - they report human interest stories about shaggy dogs, lottery winners and the weather. We need to do our own thinking to differentiate between the widely-reported newstory (which goes to wikinews) and the event of lasting social impact - which may be encyclopedic. We are not a newspaper - not an archive of news reports. We are an encyclopedia. --Doc^g 23:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I still see no way of discounting something from the encyclopedia just because your opinion is it is only a news story and the point still stands all these articles in this entire encyclopedia must have started off as a news story to gain any form of notability. Also your comments regarding the media are in my opinion very narrow minded, would you classify the watergate scandal in the US as one of those stories in the same class as shaggy dogs and lottery winners?--23:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

There are books written about watergate, don't be daft. Of course things that started off as newspaper stories can be encyclopaedic - but not if all they are is newspaper stories - then they are newspaper stories - and WP:NOT a newspaper - try wikinews.--Doc^g 23:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I would argue this does merit inclusion under wiki not being paper so there is no limit on the number of articles. I say we are never going to agree on this as we are poles apart but at least we know where each other stands.--Lucy-marie 00:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sean Parker-Perry

Sean Parker-Perry (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This is a simple case of Wikipedia trying to list every elected official in the world. UK election turn outs are very low and to list every councillor is flawed. A google search would yield far better results than a page on wikipedia Mike33 11:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete On the google test of notability he stars 0 with 95 hits [Google search] and on google news archive hits 8 hits [Google News Archive]. Wikipedia is not here to list every elected official. Elected officials serve their terms and go. A councillor who ended up before a judge maybe notorious but not notable. Mike33 11:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete this article has caused nothing but grief. There's appatently some kind of local political tiff involving this chap Roy Oldham and the Longdendale Bypass. I've no idea what its about - but we've had various OTRS correspondence, I've had people claiming to be the principals all over my userpage for months - we've had POV pushing and vandalism on the articles, and abusive images uploaded from various socknests. I've no idea what it is about, and I don't care. Wikipedia is not a battle ground and this low-notability article isn't worth the fuss. Anyone voting keep should please agree to watchlist the article - referee the dispute - and put up with the hassle of maintaining it. If anyone is willing to do that, and do it properly, I'll withdraw my delete vote. Please don't vote "keep, this can be maintained - someone else could in theory do it. Either let us kill it, or maintain it yourself, and good luck.--Doc^g 12:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Doc agrees that its at least minimally notable. On one hand, the visible problems lately have merely been attempted additions of links to wanker, and to facebook. However, we currently do not have articles on most municipal officials at this level in the UK or the US, and I can see our making a decision to not include them unless there was something special & this might not be special enough unless it escalates.

[edit] List of songs containing overt references to real musicians

List of songs containing overt references to real musicians (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is not a collection of loosely-associated topics. This sprawling list brings together vast numbers of songs that share nothing in common in terms of style or theme based on the happenstance of mentioning a musician somewhere in the lyrics. This list is not encyclopedic and it does not tell us anything about the songs, their relation to each other, the artists who recorded them, the artists mentioned in them or music as a whole. Any number of similarly loosely associated indiscriminate lists have been deleted recently and this one is no better. Otto4711 12:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per WP:UNENC. A1octopus 20:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. This is better than most "Lists of Songs that..." because you do list what celebrity is referenced in each song, and the recording artist; you have an introduction; it's obvious that your musical expertise is not confined to a single decade. Save your article; don't let the critics get to you. What some see as another "list" is, in this case the beginning of an index. It's worthwhile to anyone who deals with music (such as a radio station programmer). Many Wikipedia articles have a section entitled "----- in popular culture"; usually, it's a nod to The Simpsons or to Family Guy, so it's nice to see something other than a TV reference. Suggestion: The better approach might be to reverse the organization... rather than an alphabetical list of songs that have overt references to musicians, maybe you should make an alphabetized list of celebrated persons and the songs that reference them. I'd confine the list to more well-known songs, but it's a good start. Mandsford 01:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Save your breath, it appears no one is listening. I know folks who put a lot of work into this article and it's been around for a long time, yet people have decided to target it as part of the anti-list agenda. It's one of the reasons I no longer edit Wikipedia in any serious way. (retired Wikipedian: 68.146.8.46 03:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC) )
  • Amen to that. You're right, this article has been around a long time, and now it's targetted for elimination. Once Cotton Mather says "there's a witch", a lot of witnesses turn out to testify. Within any organization, whether it's the Red Guards or the Southern Baptists, there are zealots. They have a creed to go by, complete with slogans. Instead of "Withstand the Revanchist Movers" or "Let's Take Back Our Country", the ones here have slogans like "WP:UNENC". It's kind of sad, but I think this article has already been tied to the stake, and folks are looking for combustibles. Mandsford 12:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - perhaps if you spent less time gnashing your teeth over the wretchedness of the deletion attempt and more time citing actual Wikipedia policies that support the existence of the article, you might have better luck convincing people. "It's better than most" is not particularly persuasive. Nor is "most articles have an 'in popular culture' section." Got anything else, or are you still too busy trying to spit on the villagers' torches before they set you alight? Otto4711 01:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment Since you asked, there are some things I don't understand about the Wikipedia policies. Nobody ever wants to delete any of the hundreds of articles about a television show (which has its own website), but groups of lists are targetted for "mass deletion". I don't get it. Deletions don't appear to be made out of a concern for space. Take Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for instance. Sure, it's worthy of an article, but why are there individual entries for each of the 144 episodes? Or 56 articles about fictional characters on the show? Or an entire article called Buffy's residence? Why is there a Buffyverse? And that's just a single television show. I guess that's why I don't understand it when someone says that Wikipedia is "not about trivia", or that sources aren't cited, or that it's based solely on "original research". I don't know why Wikipedia policies support articles about individual TV episodes and songs on a CD, but not someone's (L-word) of songs that make a reference to celebrities. So, no, I don't get it. But that's just my opinion.Mandsford 23:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment you are not the only one who is boggled by the process, but I can't come up with a reason to keep this in light of the WP consensus as demonstrated by our prior deletions that nearly all lists of songs are not encyclopedic - I have even made arguments to keep some that I think ought to be saved as encyclopedic, but have ended up in the minority but you can't win them all. Another thing struck me: your pointing to the buffyverse is analogous to the Wikipedia:Pokémon test, which is a good read, that has been noted by other wikipedians.

Dutch Australian (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non-notable, article could realistically be summed up in perhaps one sentence. Simply not even worth an article, but maybe it could be the title for a cat (?) Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 09:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

ISBN 1921153555 - the claim for lack of notability would sink quicker than all the dutch wrecks off the west coast - it might become something - specially with the migrants of the 1950s in western australia and tasmania - for a start - however as it is - it depends whether.... afds have a life of their own unfortunately... SatuSuro 10:22, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Not to be in vio of WP:WAX, but I dont see an article on, say, Finnish Austrlian (s) or Maltese Australian (s). Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 10:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Following Comment: Of course not the Maltese or Finnish - it is because they are not in the majority - however check Welsh-Australian - that would be far more relevant to the history of Australia. It would take about two paragraphs of someones time utilising information from the Nonja Peters text to remove any doubt as to the relevance, notability and significance of the Dutch in the history of Immigration to Australia in the last 100 years. SatuSuro 12:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment There actually is a reasonable contention for *both* - the Finnish had a huge role in Mt Isa, and the Maltese in Melbourne (in fact it wouldn't be hard for an NPOV RS'd to be written about the latter, it's a quite cohesive community - I remember reading about this when I was doing the Melbourne suburb articles). Orderinchaos 20:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Neutral Delete for the moment until secondary sources provided. Might qualify as a list. Assize 10:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I don't think the references support the article, and I would argue that only one of them is reliable anyway. The terms Dutch Australian, Greek Australian, etc, are generally used in Sydney to denote somebody born in Australia of Dutch or Greek parents. This really is a dictionary entry and should be on wikidictionary. However, the references cited would support an article "Dutch in Australia" as the Australian War Memorial site gives tons of information on this and there are heaps of books on the Dutch in Australia. Assize 12:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC) .
    • References still don't support the term "Dutch Australian". As only a new article, will pursue that issue through the talk pages as the actual subject matter of the article warrants a page on wikipedia. Assize 21:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

*Delete per Assize's argument above. Unless these secondary sources are reliable ones, which are non-trivial coverage of the subject, then it should be deleted. However, the sources must assert notability. No prejudice against changing my vote to Keep if new sources are found. --SunStar Net ^talk 10:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, we wouldn't want that. But, even though the creator is very new, it doesn't make the actual article any less a candidate for deletion.

I am astounded. Afd is not 'Articles for discussion'. Unless you are 100% confident that there is not two significant sources that document the existence/plight/etc of the Dutch immigrating to Australia while running from the Germans that they had underminded, then this is a nuisance nomination. John Vandenberg 14:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

(new indent) I am trying to make sense of what you said: yes AFD means articles for deletion, but how is this relevent. Did I say it somewhere, by accident? And, as for the second part, about sources -- I never mentioned those, but you speak as if I am blatantly contesting it. Please explain. Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 14:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Your reason for nomination is that this subject is not notable and should be deleted on sight; that means you believe that two significant sources cant be found. John Vandenberg 14:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment John Vandenberg, that's way out of line. Please assume good faith. If Anonymous Dissident believed it should be "deleted on sight", then the obvious choice would have been a speedy deletion template. Instead, it came to AFD, where there are five days to discuss the topic, improve the article, and build consensus.--Dhartung | Talk 19:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep per Mattinbgn's comment above - notability is a non issue if you read my comments above - to ponder otherwsise is contravening WP:POINT there are hundreds of refs in the book that I have cited aboveSatuSuro 14:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep since it's apparent there are sources can be found, and I would like to caution the nominator to be more careful in examining whether or not a given population group might merit an article. Certainly, it is possible that some insignificant population group might get an article, but that doesn't mean they all do. But while I think you should have looked harder before this AFD, I think it's important to assume that you meant well, and not get to focused on the criticism of the nominator. Assume Good Faith, folks, people can make mistakes, and one of the points of AFD is that sometimes cleanup does happen. FrozenPurpleCube 15:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I admit now that I may indeed have been too quick to nominate this for AFD. I did not realise that they played such an important role in Australian history. To be honest - I would not particularly care if the AFD was closed. However, as pointed out above, the article has improved geatly since nominated for deletion, and, ironically, amy now be elligible to be kept after the efforts made due to its dletion nominating. Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 15:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• 'Comment- fair enough - but the issue was if you had read Mattinbgns or my comments and taken them in good faith - you would not have had to go through the further issues below that. If you do not know the history of a country that well - all you had to do was read Mattinbgns or my comments top see that a tag for cleanup or sources was all that was needed - cheers SatuSuro 15:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
