[edit] Darryl Mallett

Darryl Mallett (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Vanity, non notable, lack of independent sources

Nominating on multiple grounds:

1. Vanity page: There is a single authour who has not contributed to any other Wikipedia articles, and there is a strong suggestion from the username that the author is the subject of the article
2. Notability: With the exception of veteran, nationally known or controversial hosts, commercial radio presenters tend not to be notable enough. It is in effect, "Just another Job", and it would be ridiculous to sggest that we should have an article for every doctor in new Zealand.
3. Verfifiability - Notability is usually conferred by numerous references. I only located a couple of sources: His Employers' website and local newspaper items which had the style of being press releases printed verbatim.

The result was keep, consensus reads that subject is notable but article may need cleanup. To what extent needs to be decided by editors, as significant extra information and refs have been added since nomination. Orderinchaos 06:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Herring Surf

Procedural nomination after removal of db-spam from article as part of my continued drive to clean up Category:Companies of Australia. A non-notable chain of surf stores in a single state. Article does not meet WP:CORP, lacks any references, and does not demonstrate notability, and would be unlikely to do. Another example of corpcruft. Thewinchester ^(talk) 23:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Thewinchester ^(talk) 23:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete WP:CSD#G11. While I know that this option has been considered and refused, this article reads like a press release and in over 2 1/2 years it has not found a single independent reliable source. The chain consists of only 6 stores in one state. Note that an earlier VfD discussion is available on the talk page. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 00:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment definitely not a speedy. Article now has 6 independant reliable sources. Neil ╦ 09:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment the 2nd Oh, and it has been through AFD before and passed - nominator is aware of this and still did not bother to mention it. See the article's talk page. If it's been through AFD, it cannot be speedied. Nor should it even be deleted. Neil ╦ 10:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment I noted the VfD in my initial comment. I have seen the changes and still consider the subject to be non-notable. At least half of the references refer to sponsorship arrangements, in particular suicide prevention. Each of those references are mainly about the charity and not the subject and such do not assert notability. Another reference is about a concert at a Skate park and only mentions the subject in passing as a sponsor. That leaves one reference, about Victor Tilly, that is close to suitable. That is not enough for me. Also, coverage purchased as part of a sponsorship deal isn't quite independent. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 11:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete. While the article lacks third party sources, Google News Archive does show that there are some sources, they are not sufficient in my view to warrant a keep. [1] I would support keeping with stronger sources. Capitalistroadster 02:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep given Neil's improvements. Capitalistroadster 09:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not *quite* a G11, but definitely fails WP:CORP beyond a doubt. Orderinchaos 02:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Supporter of community work, as evidenced by the Tasmanian government [2] [3], backers of community skate tour programs [4]. Interview with store founder about his company by The Mercury ([5]), and about their work to prevent youth suicide, same paper ([6]). Clearly meets WP:CORP. Neil ╦ 08:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

*Still a delete - putting references on this discussion page does not improve the article nor does it allow editors to consider the references (which probably would work better as inline citations) with regards the content of the article. Put these in as citations and you might have a better chance. At this stage as per OIC it still fails WP:CORP --VS ^talk 08:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note - that's what I've been doing for the last 20 minutes - article is now referenced sufficiently to pass WP:CORP. Please consider readdressing your arguments? Neil ╦ 09:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - I am only just on the keep side - as I had a similar tendency to Mattinbgn to note that all but one of the references are more about charity work - however the changes to the article and the fact that there is one suitable reference gets me to weak keep. This article will be touch and go - one or more direct references that work towards meeting WP:CORP more closely will help your case indubitably.--VS ^talk 13:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as nominator, reaffirming my nomination for the article's deletion. The article still clearly fails WP:CORP, and regardless of the number of links you could find for the article, a company with six stores operating in a single state does not notability make. Worse still, the work done on the article just reaffirms how it fails to meet WP:CORP, as it now reads like an advertisement and a promotional piece. Please, i'm begging you, just let it go off to the big great page dumpster in the sky, or at least the one in the middle of a massive server farm buried deep below some old nuclear bomb shelter. Thewinchester ^(talk) 09:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note to closer - please note that Thewinchester's "delete" is to his own nomination. Thewinchester, why are you so desperate for this article to be deleted? Did Victor Tilley drive that big red camper van over your cat? Neil ╦ 09:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• • Note that his wording did indeed state "as nominator" as the first two words. I've included them in the bold to make it even clearer. Orderinchaos 22:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Careful Neil, because you're dangerously close to an WP:AGF warning. I'm just sick of inclusionists thinking everything should be on WP and continuing to load it up and up with truckloads of absolute junk - like this article. And I think the closing admin will be smart enough to read as nominator right at the front of the line. Thewinchester ^(talk) 11:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Please feel free to warn me about assuming good faith. Perhaps you could bear that in mind when you try to delete the work of others who did not intend to "load Wikipedia up and up with truckloads of absolute junk". Are you assuming good faith on their part? Neil ╦ 16:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, I'm happy that this article now meets WP:CORP, just. Lankiveil 10:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC).
• Keep Its length of service, domination of a local market and its charity work brings the subject over the notability line. Zivko85 23:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, in addition to the current article, there are plenty of google news archive results that can be used to add more verified details. John Vandenberg 00:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Just passes WP:CORP for me, with a touch of WP:LOCAL though, this business is a major one in Tasmania. It's another sponsorship essentially, but what passes it for me is that the company has the naming rights for the Red Herring Pro Bodyboarding Championships at Clifton Beach, which is part of the IBA Pro World Tour. --Canley 01:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Per WP:CORP. Added some information about its founding. We can't ignore our cousins down south, now can we? Recurring dreams 01:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete references are all about other events which RHS happen to sponsor / be associated with... ie are trivial mention of Red Herring Surf.Garrie 03:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • oh, I also don't see that the Suicide Prevention Steering Committee are reliable sources with regard to establishing notability of commercial organisations under WP:ORG - unless that organisations' primary role is in welfare &/or suicide support service.Garrie 03:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Canley [[User talk:Savin Me|Savin Me]] 05:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks to the Thewinchesters warm welcome on my talk page I show up personally here and vote for keeping the article that I once created. Isn't the big red camper van enough reason to keep it? No kidding, mates, although the brand may not be known throughout the U.S. or even the mainland of Australia, it has a strong local reputation. Of course the shop owners put in their advertisment into wikipedia, as do many manufacturers. Why don't you just delete that stuff and keep the article? Dbach 20:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep and cleanup. Article most definitely needs to be cleaned up, but I think there's enough potential for a decent article pursuant to WP:CORP. Seems to have a strong local following, though it may not be well-known to an Anglocentric audience. Firestorm 21:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ogalo

This is a procedural nomination after being CSD'd with db-spam and recreated. Article fails WP:CORP. A very minor chicken shop chain operating in only one state, this article is written like an advertisement, has no information which demonstrates notability (and sponsoring the football club of a private school does not confer notability by association either), lacks any significant references, and is a privately held company of which little is known or can be found about. It's just another of the many examples of corpcruft infesting Wikipedia. Thewinchester ^(talk) 23:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Thewinchester ^(talk) 23:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment You need to look at the hundreds of POV and biased articles that exist on WP for products, brands, companies...etc - this one is an Australian company and similar to other food outlets, restaurants (inc Oporto, Nandos..etc) which have articles - yes it does need expanding and ref's cited to make it more notable - I am in the process of cleaning this up to make it better. --Mikecraig 00:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • • Comment This is exactly why we're having a cleanup. If you see one worthy of nomination under the guidelines, feel free to nominate, or let others know. BTW Nandos is an international organisation with stockmarket listings and oodles of independent coverage, so is not in anywhere near the same situation. Orderinchaos 02:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment With respect to the points you have raised, POV is not the issue with this article, something you are now being informed of for the second time which leads me to suspect that you may have a possible [[WP:|conflict of interest]] in this matter. The fact it does not and will likely never meet the standard required for compliance against WP:CORP is. Also, just because a competing or similar chain (currently) has an article doesn't mean that Chain X deserves one too - it's a faulty argument which does not fly in AfD. You could try and clean up this article as much as you want, but based on relevant searching and fact finding both when I nominated for CSD and before opening the AfD this morning, you'll be very hard pressed to find anything which helps it meet the criteria. Thewinchester ^(talk) 00:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment This is what I was looking for eariler - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Thewinchester ^(talk) 02:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment "leads me to suspect that you may have a possible conflict of interest in this matter" - be careful with possible slanderous comments such as that one. Delete the Ogalo article as I cannot waste anymore time on such matters, trying to do the right thing and expand WP. --Mikecraig 00:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Mikecraig, Thewinchester was citing Wikipedia policy. It was perhaps jumping to a conclusion, but it is absurd to suggest that rises to the level of slander. Please avoid raising distracting legal issues that do not help build consensus. --Dhartung | Talk 00:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Understood, if that user in question wants to challenge my neutrality or conflicts of interest, then just look at my edits, contributions..etc and see where it lies. --Mikecraig 00:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Per Dhartung, Wikilawyering is specifically frowned upon. I note that I specifically said that I "suspect that you may have a possible [[WP:|conflict of interest]]". You may not have a conflict of interest, but it just appears that way to the casual observer given your protectionist line on an article which does not and likely never will comply with Wikipedia policy, which is the core issue in this matter. Thewinchester ^(talk) 01:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. An unsourced article about a non-notable minor fast food chain. Would be willing to reconsider should independent sources be found. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 00:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I could find no sources related to this chicken shop through Google News or Google News Archive. Given that the article cites no sources, the article should be deleted. Capitalistroadster 02:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per nomination from Thewinchester - esp as it is small and as per other editors mention, very few references or articles can be found. --Mikecraig 02:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Man, I would love to know the special way that the Australo-Portuguese make burgers. My imagination is conjuring up images of quarter-pounders garnished with tripe and squid tentacles. --Infrangible 02:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, a minor fast food chain. Perhaps when they have more sources available. Lankiveil 10:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC).
• Delete per WP:CORP and Wikipedia is not a directory. Zivko85 23:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; apparently good for a hangover, but far better sources are needed. Mikecraig, has a TV or newspaper ever done a focus piece on the company? John Vandenberg 00:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Not that I can find, as per everyone mentioning above, seeing that there is little media/references regarding the subject then it's probably best it goes away for awhile till it's more noteworthy. --Mikecraig 01:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per Zivko Savin Me 05:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I CSD-ed this article initially. The reason was pretty much non-notability. I restored it at the request of the author, presuming he could expand it and state the importance. But it seems it won't pass VfD anyway, surely not at the present state. --Tone 13:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mexican pool

Mexican pool (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non-notable and totally unsourced. Clearly made-up silliness and original research. I have lived in New Mexico and California all my life, and played pool with many, many real Mexicans, and they don't play pool this way. Furthermore, any even intermediate player could run this game out 10 times in a row; the only people who could consider this game even a real game would be rank newbies. It's just goofiness, and certainly non-encyclopedic. PS: Note that author isn't even sure of the facts: "Perhaps this game is known by another name."

[edit] Goleta English

Goleta English (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

All attempts to find reliable sources to which article information can be verified have failed, term being used can be reliably sourced, but no reliable sources actually talk about the term in ways that allow an encyclopedic entry.--Cerejota 23:12, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: It strikes me as likely that it can be sourced from Spanish-language sources published in Puerto Rico, and English-language offline sources published in Puerto Rico and in the linguistics sphere. Poor Google results doesn't mean something cannot be sourced. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I am Puerto Rican, from Puerto Rico (I currently reside in Brooklyn), my family includes language academics, and you cannot find reliable sources off-line that talk of "Goleta English" as a researched linguistic category. Not Maria Vaquero, not Marshall Morris, not other academics who in recent years have studied language use in Puerto Rico have made any research about so-called "Goleta English". This is mostly a slang term used to make fun of people's real (and perceived) mis-pronunciations of American English. Sourced material of use might belong in a wider article on Puerto Rican culture, and more specifically slang or epithets, but it is not an academic term. The contents of the page, in particular regarding pronunciation or pseudo-scientific characterizations are entirely original research, and very novel at that.--Cerejota 03:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dae Gak

Dae Gak (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non-notable religious teacher. No third party sources available, the only source is subject's short autobiography on his own website. Subject has written a dissertation and one book, and has established a non-notable retreat center. The subject's notability does not meet any of the criteria in WP:BIO. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 22:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• There is no consensus - the article in question cannot be deleted: Anyone interested in the accepted policy of wikipedia with respect to the deletion of articles should refer to the "Proposed Deletion" section of Deletion policy page, which clearly states: "An editor who believes a page obviously and uncontroversially doesn't belong in an encyclopedia can propose its deletion. These pages can be deleted by any adminstrator if, after five days, nobody objects to the proposed deletion. Once there is an objection or a deletion discussion, a page may not be proposed for deletion again."
• Silence equals consent: Anyone interested in the accepted meaning of "consensus" on wikipedia should consult the page on Consensus, which says, in part: "'Silence equals consent' is the ultimate measure of consensus — somebody makes an edit and nobody objects or changes it. Most of the time consensus is reached as a natural product of the editing process. When there are disagreements, they are resolved through polite discussion and negotiation, in an attempt to develop a consensus. If we find that a particular consensus happens often, we write it down as a guideline, to save people the time having to discuss the same principles over and over. Normally consensus on conflicts are reached via discussion on talk pages."
• Therefore this article cannot be deleted since there are two objections after less than two full days of discussion.
• Further discussion of this page should be moved to the appropriate talk page. Please note, however, that all content on that page must be consistent with wikipedia policies regarding biographies of living persons.
• Nor can this article be listed for deletion in the future. I hope no one minds me placing this important information about official wikipedia policy with respect to deletion at the top of this discussion. But wikipedia policy is very clear - without consensus there can be no deletion, and articles cannot be proposed for deletion again after there has already been one proposal and discussion. Durruti36 19:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think there is some misunderstanding of rules. You should have referred to the deletion_discussion section instead of the proposed_deletion section.
• Regarding the "silence", it probably just means that the other people have already expressed their views. From my side, I can just say that mention in one independent book is better than no mention. I still doubt it passes the criteria regarding mention in publications, as there seems to be just a passing mention of his starting a new school. Anyway, I just gave my views and will let others give their views. --Knverma 20:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Non-notable, and no hits on google except for his homepage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hirohisat (talk • contribs) 22:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: Zen Master Dae Gak clearly meets the "notability criteria" for people. According to those criteria anyone who "has received significant recognized awards or honors" meets the notability requirements. Zen Master Dae Gak has received one of the highest honors possible in Zen Buddhism - that of "Dharma Transmission". This transmission is clearly referred to on the page in question. Here is Zen Master Dae Gak's Transmission Speech from the Summer of 1995 issue of Primary Point, the magazine published by the Kwan Um School of Zen. Durruti36 23:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think that being a Zen Master is sufficient justification for having a Wikipedia article. Just look at the number of Zen Masters in the world who don't have Wikipedia articles on them. In particular this is an honor given by a school to its members and is not significant from an outside perspective. Something more is necessary to establish notability.-Knverma 23:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• The criteria for notability are clearly met by anyone who receives significant awards or honors. Do you claim that receipt of Dharma Transmission is not a significant honor? Durruti36 00:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• As far as a google search on "Dae Gak" - I encourage anyone reading this discussion to try it for themselves. Among the "hits" are groups of his students in Washington, DC; Galveston, Texas; and Cincinatti, Ohio - as well as to the group in Brisbane Australia that is led by Master Dae Gak's most senior student, Zen Master Sen Shin, who leads the Queensland Zen Center. Durruti36 23:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• So he is well-known among his students. That doesn't establish notability. --Knverma 23:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• The number and/or nature of google hits is not one of the accepted criteria for notability according to wikipedia guidlines. I was merely pointing out the factual innacuracy of the statement "no hits on google except for his homepage". Durruti36 00:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• From our article on Dharma_transmission it sounds equivalent to either the ordination of a priest or the award of a doctorate. Neither of those would automatically make an individual notable. Perhaps if the subject were the first American to receive the honor it would be different. As for other signs of notability, the Google hits I found were all along the lines of announcements of upcoming seminars, not substantive profiles of the man or his philosophy. Lastly, if anyone here is a student of the subject or has other significant involvement with him it'd be helpful to let others' know. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 03:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• You are making the mistake of relying on wikipedia as a reliable source. Zen Master Seung Sahn fully explained what he meant by "Transmission" in an interview he gave the year before Zen Master Dae Gak received transmission - here is a link to that speech. It is the Winter/Spring 1993 issue of Primary Point, which was completely devoted to the topic of "Dharma Transmission". To see the other articles in that issue go the Primary Point Archives and scroll down to that issue. Among other things, Zen Master Seugn Sahn says that "As more Zen Masters appear, their individual styles will emerge. Perhaps some of them will make their own schools. So maybe, slowly, this Korean style will disappear and be replaced by an American style or American styles." Master Dae Gak has, in fact, "made his own school" - whereas most of the people given Transmission by Seung Sahn have remained in the Kwan Um school. This is mentioned on page 106 of James Ishmael Ford's book "Zen Master Who?: A Guide to the People and Stories of Zen".Durruti36 14:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Regarding my significant involvement, no, not directly with him, though with Zen practice in general, and with Seung Sahn's Kwan Um School of Zen for the last 4-5 years. Yes, I earlier read articles by Dae Gak and found them interesting. Definitely I consider Dharma transmission to be a significant achievement from a Zen practitioner's point of view, but not something that establishes notability as required on Wikipedia. --Knverma 06:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think that is a valid distinction - between what is "notable" to a Zen student, and what is more generally notable. However, this very modest, bare bones article does not make any grandiose claims about Master Dae Gak's "notability". It is a small, informational article about someone who by some standards might be considered "relatively unknown". Here is a quote from the wikipedia official policy on biographies of known persons: "Wikipedia also contains biographies of people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known." In light of this any attempt to delete Master Dae Gak's entry clearly represents not only a highly selective application of the "notability" criterion, but one that is clearly at variance with stated wikipedia policies for biographies of living persons. Durruti36 14:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Durruti36, "notability" is just a guideline, one that serves to implement core polices such as neutral point of view and WP:verifiability. If a person isn't notable enough to have independent profiles then we are basing the entire article on what the subject says about himself. It's difficult to maintain a neutral point of view when our only source is the subject. How can we verify anything he says, beyond just saying it's "accoridng to the subject"? So "notability" isn't the sole concern, it's more of a shorthand for a set of concerns that come up with people about whom little or nothing has been written. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 01:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: This is a tough one. I spent hours editing and wikifying Dae Gak's entry. I know him and sat several retreats with him. I find him a charming and wise Zen teacher. Yet, according to WP:BIO's new criteria, he is not notable. As I understand it, Zen Master Seung Sahn considered being a Zen Master a job description whose duties included "great love, great compassion and only help this world." There are many jobs that are difficult to get (such as being a professor at an elite school) but that does not make one notable. Is being a Zen Master an award that you earn? Bob's PhD does not make him notable either. Finally, I also Googled ZMDG to find something... anything... to define notability. Maybe a mention of him in a book other than his own or something. I think Will Beback was looking for those types of things as well... not bean counting the results or refences on sangha web pages. Anyway, I wish I could find something to call this entry notable but I can not. In all fairness, it should be deleted. Killerbeez 01:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Factual correction to the above: Please see the reference above to James Ishmael Ford's book "Zen Master Who?" which includes references to both Master Dae Gak and to Furnace Mountain. This is clearly a "mention of him in a book other than his own". Durruti36 18:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. That does not change my mind. The reference is small and it does not offer any support to why this teacher is notable. Sincerely, he is virually unknown and has not yet made a significant contribution to Zen practice in America or the world. I suspect that he seems like big news to his sangha but we need to keep perspective regarding what is considered notable for Wikipedia. Killerbeez 23:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. The transmission speech link is no longer functioning. Do you have another one? Thanks Killerbeez 01:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• It is working now. You can also go to the main page for the Primary Point Archives.
• Thank You. Killerbeez 04:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep For people in fields where the transmission of information is primarily oral, I would like to find a way to establish notability. I haven't found one. Just perhaps, the training of students who go on to be notable is a criterion which has been used elsewhere, but although students are mentioned, nothing is said about their importance either. DGG 01:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. None of his students have done anything notable to date. There might be a time when Zen Master Dae Gak and his students are notable according to Wikipedia but not yet. Killerbeez 04:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Sorry to have to vote that since he seems like a good person who is making a positive contribution. He has not become notable to the world at large however and this is what decides notability to have a WP article. Steve Dufour 02:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, seeing no new response to my comments except the Dharma transmission fact. --Knverma 05:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Correction: The book "Violence at Kent State, May 1 to 4, l970: The Student's Perspective" was *not* Robert Genther's Ph.D. thesis, it was a separate book published by "College Notes and Texts" in 1971. The correct reference for this book can be found in the on-line article "THE MAY 4 SHOOTINGS AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY: THE SEARCH FOR HISTORICAL ACCURACY" - which is by two sociologists at Kent State. Robert Genther's Ph.D. thesis was "Differences Between Black and White Patients in Short Term Psychiatric Hospitalization." Durruti36 17:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. Wow, are you really WORKING IT trying to save this entry. I gotta admire your energy even as I doubt your direction. Anyway, It is great that he is a fourth publisher in a 35 year-old book that is not his dissertation. Yet, this book does not make him a notable academic. It is just a blip on his curriculum vitae. It is ironic that you tout this publication which is under his Western name at the same time you deleted that name from his entry. Killerbeez 23:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: For notability to be established, this Zen Master needs to be the subject of an independent, credible, in-depth biography; have name recognition; receive a significant honor (beyond his high level of ordination) or make history. He does not fit any of these criteria at this time in his career.Logrider 05:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• Factual Correction: The receipt of "Dharma Transmission" is not connected with "levels of ordination", except perhaps in the Soto school, which Master Dae Gak is not associated with. Durruti36 14:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: Zen Master Dae Gak was an invited speaker in the year 2000 at the 800 year celebration of Dogen, Traces of Dogen Conference, held at Emory college in 2000.He has been the invited speaker for numerous functions in a variety of contexts including the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston Texas.For ten years the led Christian Zen retreats at the Abby of Gethsemane in Bards town KY the Monastery where Thomas Merton stayed.He was invited guest at the Gathering with the Dali Lama at The Abby of Gethsemane which celebrated the Dali Lama’s friendship with Thomas Merton.His calligraphy and art have been featured in Arts Across Kentucky, a Kentucky based magazine.His Calligraphy has been sold publicly through Dharma Crafts and other retail outlets.He was cited in the book, “Zen Master Who,” by James Ishmael Ford, published by Wisdom Press, 2006.He was the Key Note speaker at the Buddhist Conference for the Reconciliation of North and South Korea held in Seoul, Korea in 1987.He is listed in numerous publications and web sites as a prominent Zen teacher. By Logrider's criteria, most of the Zen teacher entries in Wikipedia will need to be deleted. =Jazzito 18:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)— Jazzito (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

You said he is listed in numerous publications. Could you point out these publications. That's one of the things we wanted to know. --Knverma 18:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

He was cited in "Only Doing It For 60 Years," a book about Zen Master Seung Sahn as well as having his own chapter in that book. He has been published multiple times in Primary Point. And if you read carefully there are several other citations listed in the discussion. Jazzito 21:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

We should point out, "Only doing it for 60 years" [7] is a collection of contributions from students of Seung Sahn. Primary Point is the school magazine of KUSZ. -Knverma 00:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. "Only doing it for 60 years" is a tribute book that was put together as a birthday gift from the students of Zen Master Seung Sahn. It is an homage to their teacher published by the Kwan Un School of Zen (Primary Point Press). Cute book with no Zen substance. Primary Point is the membership community newsletter of the Kwan Um School of Zen. It lists the activities/milestones of the school and a few talks. Jazzito and KwanSeumBosal have simply listed activities that a Zen Master is suppose to do: giving talks, running retreats, meeting with other Buddhist teachers, raising funds for their temples, being listed on the web in Zen Center directories, etc. This is just evidence that he is doing his job, it is not evidence of notability. Oh, it is appropriate to delete non-notable entries no matter what the person's profession. Killerbeez 17:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: His book 'Going Beyond Buddha' has been translated into Czech and German. The German publisher is 'Fischer Verlag' - one of the most important publishers in Germany. The book has been published in 1999 under the title 'Das Zen des Lauschens'. In 2001 Dae Gak has been invited by the University of Kassel, Compartment of Psychoanalysis to hold a speech about Zen and Psychoanalysis. He has students in Berlin, Witzenhausen, Kassel, Dresden, Nurimberg and also in Bristol, England and London. He is listed under www.zenguide.de among (contemporary) Zen Masters.KwanSeumBosal 20:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)— KwanSeumBosal (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

[edit] Timothy Ryan Richards

Timothy Ryan Richards (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Fails WP:BIO by a large margin. Justin Berry may be notable; this person is not. He was a minor operative in Berry's organization and a porno performer who fails WP:PORN by a country mile. This article appears to exist mainly to shill for Richard's unnotable web sites and to generally hijack the Wikipedia for use in the Berry - Richards fight, which appears to be a minor catfight of limited interest to the world at large. Herostratus 19:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

The article was created to spinoff content about Richards from the Justin Berry article, as the Berry article was becoming heavily-laden, as was discussed in Talk:Justin Berry. How does being a spinoff affect the question of its retention? --Ssbohio 20:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Article needs vastly improved, but the subject is notable within his particular world, and in consideration of the article's being spun off from Justin Berry, its notability should be considered in parallel with its main article. --Ssbohio 20:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Spinoffs do not inherit or share the notability of the articles from which they were split. The subject does not have enough notability to have an article on his own behalf. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 23:01, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

In that case, Will, can the article be placed in my userspace (as User:Ssbohio/Timothy Ryan Richards) if the consensus is for deletion? I'd like to do some research on Richards and see if I can establish notability outside of his working for Justin Berry. --Ssbohio 14:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for lack of notability, SqueakBox 23:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete – While I very much disagree with the nominator's speculations on the article's authors' motives and I believe he/she is assuming bad faith, it would seem that this article's content belongs in Justin Berry, if anywhere. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 00:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• KEEP. As Richards is a key piece of the Justin Berry article, and certain forces (namely Justin Berry) have opposing views, it is only appropriate that Richards have his own article. This keeps with Wikipedia's main policy of maintaining neutrality as much as possible. In addition, there has been little time to conduct research into Richards to include additional and verifiable information. If the Richards article is deleted, then Justin Berry will cast Richards in such a negative light in order to make himself look like a saint. For this reason, the article on Timothy Ryan Richards must remain available. dmking12370
  • dmking, I agree that the article on Richards should be kept, but having a separate article to give Richards' "side" of the conflict creates what is called a POV fork, where content is split off from an article so that it and the article can push different points of view. I don't believe the article on Richards has been used that way, with the exception of an edit that was reverted (by me) and deleted by an administrator. --Ssbohio 05:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nn Mukadderat 16:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • It's not a vote, so what are your thoughts on this article? Is there anything that could be done to make it keepable in your eyes? Richards has notability, within his field, but it's tough to document. I'm hoping that there won't be a consensus to delete, but that some good ideas can come from this process to get the article up to spec. --Ssbohio 17:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I should also add I ran the latin name through BIOSIS (a database of biology publications) as well as the Ohmdahl with no luck (nothing in google scholar either). While perhaps the actual publication of the species identification would be difficult to find, it is surprising (although not unheard of) to find a scholar with absolutely no publication record. --TeaDrinker 20:51, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Delete utter rampant cobblers. The tarantulas are not native to Italy (what they call a tarantula is a much smaller true spider); the genus given to it (Brachypelma) does not list this one; the two external links are spurious - one is a forum thread (which doesn't even mention it) and the other is about a spider in a sandpit, which turned out to be a rubber one.

Prodded because "Fails WP:BIO. He built two soon abandoned trading posts, and has many descendants. WP:NOT a genealogical site." Prod removed with quite uncivil comment at the talk page, with as main reason "Jaco Finlay is THE most important Native American in at least an eight hundred mile radius.".

As I'm not impressed by these arguments, I present the article here at AfD for wider discussion. Fram 19:01, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No independent reliable sources. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 21:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• KEEP There is no question as of this point that the article now contains an independent reliable source. Canoe Networks, through their SLAM Sports section, is a very notable and reliable source that qualifies as an independent secondary source for WP:RS. This article is on my "to do" list, as can be seen by viewing the talk page, and I'm sure other sources can and will be found. While I believe notability can be argued concerning this individual, I should point out that lack of notability is not a criterion for deletion in Wikipedia's deletion policy. Further, WP:N is, in itself, only a guideline, it is not a policy; the policy one should look at when determining "notability" is WP:V, which this article has no problem with. Remember, Wikipedia is NOT paper. - T-75|talk|contribs 04:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment It does have a problem with WP:V, as it's sourced direct from the subject. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 04:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Sourcing directly from the subject (primary source) is appropriate (unless the info is likely to be challenged) as long as there is a WP:V secondary source. There is a WP:V independent secondary source for the article now (there wasn't when you voted), so frankly, you are wrong Hack, there isn't a problem with WP:V. - T-75|talk|contribs 04:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Added Point It's hard to say the individual is the source when someone else is writing about their death...man Hack...you crack me up. - T-75|talk|contribs 04:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment No, I'm not wrong. What is the secondary source? A book that confirms he was a wrestler? That doesn't confirm anything else, you're sourcing direct from quotes from the subject of the article. I suggest you read the sources you've added before making any further flippant remarks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 05:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment OK, I've been directed by you to read what a secondary source is numerous times, and apparently where you directed me to read was incorrect...so, since the pages you directed me to where not accurate about what a secondary source is, please tell, what is a secondary source?

The book referenced does not substantiate that he was a wrestler, it substantiates that he was a wrestling promoter (which makes me wonder how much attention you've given to the article in order to make an informed decision and comment). The Canoe Networks article substantiates most of the rest of the information in the article (which if you had read the Canoe article you would have known that). Canoe Networks is a credible publisher of articles with a reliable publication process whose authors are generally regarded as trustworthy and are authoritative in relation to the subject at hand (they are a Canadian based company that publish on a WIDE variety of subjects). Any information not sourced from the article is acceptable even thought it comes from an interview with the subject at hand as it complies with WP:V#Self-published and questionable sources in articles about themselves. So, unless your educating me on what a secondary source is was wrong...you are still wrong. - T-75|talk|contribs 05:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I've paid considerably more attention than you, as is already apparent by the source you added. I assume you missed where it said Barr told the DutchSavage.com website, which happens to be the source that was there beforehand? Please provide independent verification for everything that is sourced from a direct quote, as I consider it to be self serving. Without independent sources it's impossible for a neutral, balanced article to be written. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 06:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

*SIGH* So let me point out again, information that comes from an interview with the subject at hand is acceptable when it complies with WP:V#Self-published and questionable sources in articles about themselves, which this article does. Add that to the fact that information in the article was also contributed through interviews with Bob Leanoard, Buddy Rose, Ed Wiskowski, Dutch Savage, Velvete McIntyre and Ring Around the Northwest, and you begin to see that the article does have more credibility than you would give it; which tends to support the fact that Canoe Networks is a credible publisher of articles with a reliable publication process whose authors are generally regarded as trustworthy and are authoritative in relation to the subject at hand. So, everything remains kosher. - T-75|talk|contribs 15:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep slam.canoe.ca is a reliable source for wrestling articles, the article certainly could do with more improvement. But for what is there, seems to show fair notability to me. Govvy 10:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

KEEP IT--This guy is famous in Portland AND is very well known through the entire pro wrestling community. He was influential in getting many famous wrestlers their start. If people think he isn't notable, they don't know what they are talking about.

• Keep Barr is well-known in Portland, Oregon, and through much of the Pacific Northwest and in Western Canada. I live about a mile from the flea market and would be happy to post a photo of the sign outside with his name on it if that would help the case. dreadpiraterobins 03:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

KEEP Sandy Barr's has been a landmark and a gathering place (Tuesday night wrestling matches) for many years in St. Johns, the northernmost neighborhood in Portland, OR. If St. Johns is worthy of a page (and it has one) then I think Sandy Barr is notable enough.

I cannot really say any more than I have on Talk:Drachentaube. It is very depressing. Ednan 19:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep On the other hand, maybe I can. "Category:Heraldic beasts" is still severely underpopulated if heraldry is to have more than just superficial coverage in Wikipedia. An heraldic ordinary, sub-ordinary, charge etc. does not need to be notable in itself to warrant inclusion, it just needs to have been used in heraldry (which I have satisfactorily demonstrated). For example, is Ypotryll especially notable? It is a case of the whole being more than the sum of the parts. Ednan 19:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete (or Rehome) This isn't notable in itself - not every microfact or mini-monster connected with heraldry is. There is however surely a place for a useful portmanteau article on Rare heraldic beasts (or Trivial heraldic inventions - whatever you want to call it) in which this (and the Ypotryll and quite a number of others) could find a legit home. But it's not worth its own article. HeartofaDog 15:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I found this article looking for information on this beast. I expect Wikipedia to cover things like this and would have been frustrated if there had been no article. The article is well done and informative. If there is some debate as to the legitimacy of this beast, as some have argued, the proper course of action is to note the controversy in the article rather than simply deleting it.

However, the name appears to be a nickname for the creature - not an officially recognised name. Nor is it a nickname which has become widely used. It'd be notable enough to discuss as a dove with dragon parts in an article on heraldic oddities, but the name is not notable. It may become widely used in the future, but we don't know that yet. Polenth 23:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: The above assertion that the drachentaube was invented in a poem published in Dragonlore in 2004 is incorrect as the creature had already been referred to 5 years earlier in the "Contemporary Heraldry" section of the March 1999 edition of the Heraldry Society's Heraldry Gazette (the same reference as is given in the article). 81.154.90.60 23:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

    • Note There is no poem in the Heraldry Gazette article. It is a report on a new grant of arms. And yes, it does mention the “drachentaube”. Ednan 08:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep - see Clackson's Scots Arms at The Heraldry Scociety of Scotland. The poem is there. --Evb-wiki 21:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

How does this constitute an independent source? The linked webpage is from the "Members' Interactive Galleries" section of the Heraldry Society of Scotland's website. In all probability Dr. Clackson added this page himself; I certainly hope so, because the "poem" that reports the "legend" of the Drachentaube first appeared in Dragonlore, and is copyright Stephen Gregory Clackson. If this post is by the creature's inventor, it in no way constitutes an independent, reliable source. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• • Note Allow me to draw your attention to my note above. The Heraldry Gazette reference Heraldry Gazette (ISSN 0437-2980), LXXI (new series) March 1999, 6 is an independent report on the new grant of arms (not the poem) and the term “drachentaube” is used there. Ednan 10:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Victor Newman and Nikki Reed

Victor Newman and Nikki Reed (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Another nomination for soap opera couples. Both these articles are about fictional couples from the soap opera The Young and the Restless. The characters and actors have their own articles, and these articles are just a chunk of plot summary and as such fail WP:NOT. EliminatorJR ^Talk 16:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

* Note: withdrawing nom for above article per extensive rewrite. AfD remains open for article below. EliminatorJR ^Talk 21:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

Nicholas Newman and Sharon Collins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• • Delete Wikipedia is not Soap Opera Digest. The topic is adequately covered elsewhere. DarkAudit 16:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. If the individual characters have their own articles, convergence of the two characters can be documented therein. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Careful. If you delete a soap opera article, it's evil twin will come back, or it will turn out that it was never really deleted, it just got amnesia. It may come back and announce it is the long lost father at a very inopportune moment, usually while a will is being read, or in the middle of a wedding. --Infrangible 04:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • OK, but there are articles that don't have a head. How can you write for an article that doesn't have a head?! --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 07:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a very important couple on the show The Young and The Restless, and I'm not even a fan of this couple, but they are just as lengendary as the Luke and Laura supercouple of the daytime drama General Hospital, though not as noteworthy. No soap opera couple can be as noteworthy as Luke and Laura, but some are, in fact, noteworthy. I am certain that I can better format a lot of these soap couple articles. All of the ones on the Supercouple list here at Wikipedia are indeed supercouples. I need time in tackling this article...as well as the Nicholas Newman and Sharon Collins article, but I strongly oppose the deletion of any of these articles. They serve as clear-cut examples of the very definition of a supercouple and should remain here at Wikipedia, as we are to have a Supercouple article at all.

I'm a participant of WikiProject Soap operas, and our goal is to improve all these soap opera articles, couple or not. My own article was nominated for deletion here not too long ago as well, but it rather ended up with the result of "Keep" due to it now meeting Wikipedia standards, as well as WikiProject Soap Opera standards. The original nominator of that article for deletion, DES, a well-respected administrator here at Wikipedia even declared it as the best any of these type of articles can be.

EliminatorJR, I cite that you're acting in good faith, I understand your concerns on this matter clearly, but I ask that you re-consider tagging some of these supercouple soap opera articles for deletion, unless they just out-right need deletion, and instead rather tag them with "Plot" and or "In the need of expert attention", anything that is about clean-up as opposed to deletion, as we aim to improve these articles. Flyer22 09:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment That'd be fine if these were new articles, or if there were only minor problems with them, but this one is over two years old and is still completely fails Wikipedia guidelines. "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot." I'm certainly not saying every article in this category is unencyclopedic, but a huge amount of them are just plot summaries. If the unencyclopedic content can be cut right back, and the article sourced with real-world notability, then I'm quite happy to say keep - after all, AfD is for improvement, not just deletion.EliminatorJR ^Talk 13:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep (switching from redirect) Redirect. I'm not a fan of the show, but I've helped develop the guidelines at WP:SOAPS as to when "couple" articles are appropriate. Right now this article is nowhere near the standard. If it can be brought up to speed, like if someone can add some real-world references to prove that this couple is notable outside of the world of soapdom, I might change my opinion though. To see an example of a couple article that was judged a "keep" on AfD, see J.R. Chandler and Babe Carey. --Elonka 17:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Switching to "Keep". The article has been substantially rewritten and has multiple third-party sources which affirm the couple's notability.[9][10] Good job on the rewrite. --Elonka 21:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It provides information for Victor and Nikki as a supercouple--information that isn't found on their own separate pages. This page is able to go more in depth on their relationship. Miss Burkle 18:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for your optimism on this matter, EliminatorJR. Or maybe that has more to do with if this article can produce more valid sources, as well as produce real-world context, then there's no problem. Whichever, I appreciate your mindset on this issue. I get that this article is an older article, but again, our project for bettering such articles is fairly new. It's going to be a challenge for me to fix up both of these articles before this debate is closed, and I'm not sure that I can do both at this time, but I'll try. Flyer22 23:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • You could always copy the basis of the article into your userspace for further improvement, in case it's deleted. EliminatorJR ^Talk 08:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• DELETE. Most of the article is plagiarised from Soap Opera Central. Kogsquinge 00:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: Since a lot of this content is redundant, we could redirect all these pages to List of Supercouples. This page would be formatted as per WP:LIST and expand what is already on Supercouple#Supercouples. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This article has been updated

This article now provides creation, real-world context and impact. Let me know if you're willing to reconsider it as a keep, EliminatorJR. Although, the Nick and Sharon article still needs fixing up. It might be best to have these two articles separate in their deletion debates, since I might not have the time to fix up the Nick and Sharon article.Flyer22 19:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• Much better! although I still think some of the plot summary could be removed without any real loss to the article. I'll keep the AfD open for the other article, but withdraw this one. EliminatorJR ^Talk 21:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• Alright, EliminatorJR, and thanks for the suggestion. I'll look over editing down the plot summary some more when I get some more time.Flyer22 22:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Nick and Sharon article has been updated

• Yeah, I know that the cultural impact section is all about the Sharon/Nick/Phyllis love triangle, but that was one of the most notable storylines within that romance, one of the most heated some fans of that show would say, gaining all kinds of different attention.

I didn't really change the summary of this article all that much. I just re-worded it in present tense, and I didn't feel that I needed to add that much to the summary as of now, since plot summaries are limited anyway. Flyer22 00:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WCBS-TV News Team

WCBS-TV News Team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

For the same reasons I nominated both WABC-TV News Team and WNBC news team, which were WP:CRUFT and questionable notability to the Wikipedia community as a whole. This information was previously in the main WCBS-TV article and could be re-merged into it as well, but a stand-alone page should not exist. Many of the bios that are linked within this article should be looked at as well for WP:NN compliance. Rollosmokes 16:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The programs themselves are notable, and the size and scope of these articles does not lend them to merger with the parent articles. Furthermore, any AfD that uses the word "cruft", or any form thereof as an excuse for deletion ought to be retained for that reason alone. Alansohn 18:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep An excellent finding source for linking to individual biographies, especially when all you know is he is that fat guy that does the weather. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Informative. "Cruft" is just an essay, not policy or guideline. --Nricardo 21:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with the article on the station itself. I'm not sure why seperate articles on the news team are needed, and it seems to me that an article on the station would logically cover the staff, including the news team. Breaking out all of these articles into smaller articles isn't a great idea anyway: the WCBS-TV team may be notable, but then this is going to start happening to articles on, for example, the ION affiliate in Missoula, Montana. I'd prefer to keep these articles slimmer and more encyclopedic. It seems these articles are turning into little more than station web-site bios/publicity pages.

• Delete what's the honest point of having this list around? Categories work better for this type of work Whsitchy 20:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: I would say Merge but wasn't the point of having separate articles for the news team to keep the main page from getting too big? WAVY 10 15:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
• Move to List of WCBS-TV personalities and keep. Being on a major network affiliate in the #1 TV market makes most of them notable, and the list is to large to be merged back into WCBS-TV. DHowell 01:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Moving to another article defeats the purpose of this AfD. The information is not too large to be merged back into the main article, and can be pared down considerably. Rollosmokes 02:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Know what, just delete it because it's too small a corporation to be considered fit for an article in an encyclopedia, and also it's probably going to fail since it is going to be working for 10 months without money until it released its final project.

Comment I believe it will help you to understand why this is happening by taking a look at some of our policies, specifically notability guidelines. The most important point there, is that notability is distinct from "fame", "importance", or "popularity". Charlie 15:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

  • OK. Yes, other articles are just as non-notable. We find them, they find their way here. Just because they exist doesn't mean that your article can violate the rules. As for your article, let me distill it for you: I have to follow the rules, and so do you. All articles on WP have to follow the rules. The must be notable, this must be demonstrated (i.e., verifiable) by reliable sources. Your article fails to do any of these, and that's why we're here. To answer your note as to why we can't just accept it, it is because we are not a site for the appreciation of the written word or article. We are, in fact, striving to be an encyclopedia. Aside from that, if you really think that we're the "worst place ever" because we demand that you follow our rules when you write an article, well, you are entitled to your own opinion, but you still have to follow the rules. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quezon Avenue MRT Station

Quezon Avenue MRT Station (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Can't find a thing on the article's subject from any reliable source, let alone coverage by multiple non-trivial independent reliable sources. The article's author is on record on the talk page stating that the article is written from personal experience, and that reliable sources do not exist. From anything I can find, I have to agree with him. The subject is thus unverifiable, non-notable, and impossible to write about without the use of original research. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 13:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• You know, I really want to say transwiki here, but what you can transwiki this to is sitting on a rackmount server that is soon to be heading to Oakland, California via FedEx Ground. Is there some way to archive this stuff pending deletion, or will I just want to userfy it to my own user space? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Well...there's always userfication to one's hard drive, too. Although generally if you want to transwiki something that's been deleted, you can ask to have it temporarily history-restored and userfied while you do that. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 23:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• I am but one user who wrote that article. I may have wrote my share of the article possibly using some OR, but it does not mean that everyone else did. Does notability solely have to hinge on it having references (by the way, I inserted a reference on an incident at the said station)? --Sky Harbor 07:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I can give a source (magazine) for this and all of the MRT and LRT articles. --Howard the Duck 07:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I don't understand the notability of this station. Sure the system is notable, even the line probably can meet notability guidelines, but I am unconvinced that the station does. The ref just added to the article doesn't provide any information on the station itself at all, but just mentions it as placemark for the extent of an incident. "The incident stalled the southbound train between the Quezon Avenue and GMA-Kamuning stations . . ."
• Weak keep. A system map will show the station. [12] shows some reliable sources for its existence. If there were public planning studies, those can be used to fill in information; I'm not sure how this works in the Philippines. If nothing more can be added than what is already here, it is probably better merged into Quezon City or a new Quezon Avenue article. I myself am on the fence regarding individual rapid transit stations. Normally an underground one on an older system will have enough information, as I discovered when I tested this on the Grand Army Plaza station in New York City. On a newer elevated system with every station almost identical, it may not be possible to do this. --NE2 19:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I also agree the system is notable, but I fail to see how the station is notable. BeckyAnne(talk) 19:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep for now. While this is a new station and not much about it is available as secondary sources, the train line is notable and the intersection it serves is also notable. Ultimately, this is better merged with a well-developed article on Quezon Avenue, an important trunk line in Metro Manila. Until then, I say keep. --Polaron | Talk 20:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a major metro station in a major city. This is where systemic bias really comes in; it's just not feasible to say "give me a source right this second" when the sources (of which, we know from dealing with similar cases, near-universally exist) are in the Phillippines, and to assert that because such a source isn't immediately forthcoming you can make any judgement about its notability is simply nonsense.

  • What about metro stations? --Sky Harbor 06:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Those conditions should apply in metro stations as well. Actually, what I said is viewed by some Wikipedians as one of the arguments to avoid in a deletion debates. Nevertheless, what I'm after is consistency. Wikipedia is not only an encyclopedia but also a community. If we (the community) disallowed a specific article then we should also disallow other articles with similar nature. Also, the one who proposed for Quezon Avenue MRT Station's deletion should have opted with other alternatives and consulted the Philippine notice board if the said article is notable or not. - Jojit fb 02:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Rebecca. --Arnzy (talk · contribs) 08:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Metro stations in general are a notable landmark in every city. The inclusion of a news article about an incident further strengthens its notability.--Kylohk 12:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It seems this article has potential for improvement, especially once Phillipine sources are found and used. In any case, I believe any such station is sufficiently notable infrastructure for Wikipedia. - Axver 13:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

List of songs whose title includes geographical names (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Strong delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely associated topics. The songs on this massive list have absolutely nothing in common with each other beyond the coincidence of having a "geographical name" of some sort in their titles.

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

Based on my religious faith, I consider the Hebrew Bible the most reliable source that exists.

• Delete - I did a bit of cleanup, but the interpretation still sounds like a fantasy to me. -- BPMullins | Talk 15:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect - The source doesn't support the interpretation and is probably false. Based on inference from the articles Zuben-el-Akrab and Omega Scorpii, I think akrab means "scorpion".

[edit] Signals and slots

Signals and slots (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

In a recent edit, user Wikidrone added the AfD template to the page Signals and slots with the comment "duplicate of the Observer Pattern". I am just completing his nomination pro forma. I personally think that a suggestion to merge signals and slots with observer pattern would have been more appropriate. As for the page signals and slots itself I say weak keep, don't merge. I agree that Qt's signals and slots mechanism is just an example of a concrete realization of the observer pattern, but I think the widespread use of the Qt application framework establishes enough relevance for this page. I however think that the page needs to be rewritten to make this relationship with the observer pattern clearer. Tobias Bergemann 07:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Personally, I think too that the page should not be deleted. However, Signals and slot is not a design pattern but a language construct (calling MOC a language is questionable but reasonable enough).
  The context is:
  Callback (computer science) does not mention explicitly multicast callbacks nor the Observer pattern. Being multicast is what differentiates simple callbacks from signals and slots or C# delegates or whatever. It is easy to think to the implementations without thinking to the Observer pattern, and many readers do. Additionally, if you start from examples in the Callback article (passing a callback to be invoked on each element of an array), you'll see that they cannot be "cast" in form of, nor thought of as, realizations of the Observer pattern.
  Finally, the most important language constructs (Qt signals and slots, C# delegates) devoted to this should be mentioned as separate articles, but regarding just the language constructs.--Blaisorblade 15:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• If you see duplicate articles, Wikipedia:Duplicate articles should be your first port of call. Article merger does not involve deletion at any stage. Don't bring articles to AFD if an administrator hitting a delete button is not what you want. Uncle G 16:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lucie Blackman

This is not really a biography, but a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding Ms. Blackman's murder. While there are ample news sources about this event and subsequent court cases, etc., this article should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a sensationalist tabloid. Articles that contain information such as "The man, whose name Lucie did not share with anyone, had offered her a prepaid mobile phone if she would accompany him to a restaurant near the beach" do not, in my opinion, serve an encyclopedic purpose. --Akhilleus (talk) 06:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

This page has had no sources or references for over a year, and has been tagged as lacking sources for 5 months. It is unverifiable, and questionable as to if it even fits the qualification of a notable person for a biography due to a complete lack of additional information during the past year. Unsourced history articles are inherently worthless, and can (and do) propogate incorrect information.

This is another dead giveaway for the hoax status, as the National Parks Service linked to in the article is the organisation of the United States.

[edit] WABC-TV News Team

WABC-TV News Team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This article falls under Wikipedia:Fancruft. The information can already be found within the main WABC-TV article, and creating a separate page for this non-notable information is not only a waste of space, but only serves a small group of people and not the entire Wikipedia community. There are also various links to articles about these personalities, and most of those should also be deleted for the same reasons, and probably more. Rollosmokes 04:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete this list, it's rather pointless and cruft-y, and totally unencyclopedic. Per nom, this list only serves a small group. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 04:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - per above Lipsticked Pig 04:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment The number of blue links in this list makes me hesitant to delete. Having enough notable alumni would seem to make this topic notable. Wouldn't it make more sense to nominate the articles about the personalities first? I'm also unsure about the nominator's assertion that the article "only serves a small group of people." Isn't that argument the inverse of WP:USEFUL? Maxamegalon2000 05:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - As I mentioned in the reasoning for AfD, this information is already within the main WABC-TV article, which was last reverted by me. So, no information or links would be lost if WABC-TV News Team is deleted; only the creation of a separate page is fancruft and unencyclopedic. Rollosmokes 06:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Move to List of WABC-TV personalities as a proper subpage of WABC-TV, of which a full third of visual space is bulleted lists of people associated with the station now or in the past. (Given it's in NYC and it's a corporate O&O station, these people are more frequently notable than a typical franchise station, and the station is the source of network programming such as Regis & ....) --Dhartung | Talk 05:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment: I'd rather see the "Current Personalities" remain in the main article, rather than a subpage, however the notability of many of those entries is suspect. "Past Personalities" is mostly trivia I think; the fact that they once worked at WABC-TV would be notable on their own article pages, but not here. Plenty of exceptions such as Howard Cosell for this major franchise however. Lipsticked Pig 06:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Behr (food writer)

Edward Behr (food writer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

I have an axe to grind. I tagged this page for speedy A7 deletion, it was declined, and someone used it as a reason to oppose my RFA. After examining the issue more carefully, I am now convinced that he is, indeed, not notable. The source given in the article says that he was confused by the Associated Press as being the recently deceased Edward Behr (journalist). As far as I can tell, Edward Behr has written just two books - the Artful Eater and the Art of Eating - neither of which is particularly notable. The parameters of CSD A7 aside, WP:BIO should destroy this article, and the associated disambig page should become a redirect. YechielMan 04:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment The 'Artful Eater' was reviewed in The Los Angeles Times and Kirkus Reviews [20] Nick mallory 04:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) There's nothing wrong with having written "only" two books. Google tells me that this chap is quite well-known within his subculture; in addition to his books, he also publishes a notable quarterly magazine, The Art of Eating. I'm also very wary about someone who AfDs an article not because it genuinely ought to be deleted, but because he's sooking about his RfA result. That is not appropriate behaviour for any Wikipedia user, and is certainly out of line for an admin candidate. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 04:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Even if the RFA wasn't a factor in the reasoning for deletion, I would still have voted to delete the article. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't think we have enough on this fellow to keep a biography about him. From most of the things I saw on Google, they were either websites that sell his books or the obit he was mentioned in. It would not be a good idea to have an article where the crux of it says "This man is known for being confused with a dead journalist." User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:51, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - One(?) book only, that quickly went out-of-print (now re-published). Publishes a food magazine, quarterly. But seems (at least by the blurbs he puts on his website) to be highly-esteemed by "foodies". Might qualify under WP:BIO as a creative professional who "(b) has won significant critical attention", but outside those circles he really isn't known/notable. The article as it exists right now isn't worth dinner at McDonalds however. Lipsticked Pig 05:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll incorporate what I can, here. --Dhartung | Talk 08:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Stubtastic and non-notable. Notability seems to chiefly consist of who he is not. His book appears to be self-published. If there's at least an ISBN for his magazine, that'd go a long way towards quelling my distaste for an article that appears to be a {{for}} tag on steroids. Jouster  (whisper) 06:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Timmy White

Timmy White (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Due to his lack of interviews and appearances, over the years, I gather this person wants his privacy. He is not a public figure anymore thus the article should go. Fighting for Justice 03:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Keep - Notability does not expire. We don't delete articles on people because there has been no news in a while. Phony Saint 03:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Perhaps, it needs to be reexamined. I believe he is a part of the Steven Stayner kidnapping. I think it is better to mention him in the Steven Stayner article. However, outside the kidnapping we know nothing about Timmy White himself that would warrant it's own article. He did not become an advocate of any sort. I don't believe he meets all the notability, and he never asked to be a public figure or a footnote in someone else's abduction. His notability wasn't even assessed. Fighting for Justice 03:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

If this AfD is an attempt at making a point stemming from Wikipedia:Deletion review/Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elizabeth Smart (abductee), then this should be speedily kept. If not, I would think that the movie would give him enough recognition to be notable. A merge wouldn't be out of the question, however. Phony Saint 04:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

No, but the case of Ben Ownby does parallel Timmy White. They were both kidnapped by an abductor who had an older boy as a captive. And I don't see why we can't question White's notability when White appears to be living his life in privacy. With that, I think it is wrong to have an article about him. He clearly doesn't want to be in the limelight, and a wikipedia article in his name is giving him a limelight. Fighting for Justice 04:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Not any more limelight than being a character in a movie/miniseries which was broadcast on NBC and Lifetime. Unlike Ownby, he's not a minor anymore. Phony Saint 04:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Not a good comparison. Those people made the choice to be in them, and we don't have biographies for every Joe Average that appear on TV. White is not a public figure, and wikipedia isn't going to be any less of an encyclopedia if we remove an article named after him. He can be mentioned in the Parnell and Stayner articles.

Comment - Did you even read any of my other comments, before you added your blithe commentary? I'm saying the person is a non-public figure and lives in privacy. His only reason for an article is because his abductor had an older kid captive, outside of that we know nothing about him. Fighting for Justice 06:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment there have been AfD's in the past started because of an e-mail of a living person who was on wikipedia. Even those were keep (not to invoke WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). Plus, can you prove he wants a private life? That would make me switch to delete. Whsitchy 06:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

No I can not, however, if he did he would have little or no problem gaining it - as result of being kidnapped by a infamous pedophile. His first public appearance was at the age of 5, which happened the day after he and Steven got rescued. At 14, he attended Stayner's funeral. He stayed out of legal problems,married and is a father of 2 kids. His next public appearance was in 2004, at the sentencing hearing for the man who kidnapped him when he was 5. Besides, I should not have to prove a negative. I should not have to prove that a person who really has been obscured most of his life is obscured. Almost as nonsensical as your Queen Elizabeth comparison. Fighting for Justice 06:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep If only because there was a movie/book made about the event. Questions of whether this should be incorporated into an article on the main person involved are another matter, and given the recent contentious discussion on this kind of subject, I don't know if it'll be settled here. FrozenPurpleCube 16:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and as far as it goes, we can't assume anything about this person's desires, and the idea that a person can have the article on them deleted simply because they wish it is troublesome as it smacks of censorship. FrozenPurpleCube 16:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

According to WP:NPF Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry. Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but remains of essentially low profile themselves, we should generally avoid having an article on them. In such cases, a redirect is usually the better option. Cover the event, not the person. I think a redirect to Kenneth Parnell or Steven Stayner is the proper thing to do.

[edit] Caging list

Caging list (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Reason GTTofAK 02:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to get into the long story of events surounding this lets keep it short and simple.

In October of 2004 "journalist" Greg Palast of the BBC accused members of the Bush 2004 Flordia election campaign of engaging in voter fraud based on e-mails he acquired from GeorgeWBush.org. These e-mails reportedly contained a list of names and the word caging. Palast claimed that caging was a form of voter fraud. His story was rejected by almost all major news serviced because none of them could verify his claim that caging meant what he said, see this October 27 2004 Salon.com article. Hours after Palast was rejected by most all major news services due to their inability to verify this definition of caging someone came to wiki and created a this page to back up Palast claim.

It is clear that this article does not meet Wiki standards. All the links are from within the Palast circle mainly his original BBC claim and GeorgeWBush.org. It is clear that this article is a blatant attempt misuse wikipedia and create evidence to support a false claim. Unless some real evidence outside of Palast's circle and be supplied to bolster this definition of Caging it should be deleted. Wikipedia should not be abused in this way.

Might I remind the admins that this article is being used all over the internet to accuse real people of real crimes.

• Delete These allegations were made by one partisan journalist and though endlessly repeated on conspiracy websites they were not covered by reputable sources, nor were they supported by the BBC, which is never shy of knocking republicans. As no credible evidence for this scam was ever produced and it wasn't sourced in multiple sources it shouldn't be here. Nick mallory 10:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep AfD isn't cleanup. However, the article probably needs to be split into Caging (direct mail) and Caging (politics). The first article is a Keep as the term is certainly widely in use in the direct mail industries and is sourced in the article. If the term is being falsely used in its spread into the political arena then the second article doesn't need to exist, but the Palast episode appears to have fixed the term into a shorthand for a type of electoral fraud. Even if the allegations against the Bush administration are false, they have been written about by a lot of WP:RS, notably the BBC (even if the BBC didn't support them, as Nick mallory says) - the article only needs to point out that they are allegations, not fact. As long as the article is NPOV then Wikipedia isn't being abused. EliminatorJR ^Talk 10:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. --Nricardo 22:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep Bad faith nom. Monica Goodling admitted to this tactic under oath in congressional testimony. Google news search: [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] --Infrangible 04:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Goodling didn't admit that the practice existed only that the accusation had been made. She defined her understanding of the term in the true sense of the word. "it's a direct-mail term, that people who do direct mail, when, when they separate addresses that may be good versus addresses that may be bad"

That is not the same thing as this.

"Vote caging is an illegal trick to suppress minority voters (who tend to vote Democrat) by getting them knocked off the voter rolls if they fail to answer registered mail sent to homes they aren't living at (because they are, say, at college or at war)."

Every campaign partakes in the practice of caging in its true mail order sense of the word. That does not make it a form of voter fraud or a term used to describe a form of voter fraud. This article needs to be taken down before this fraud spreads any further. Congragulations you have 5 links where people are basically parroting Palasts allegation or in the case of one reference the wikipedia article. Do you have any evidence that this term has ever been used in that sense outside of this circle? If not this needs to be taken down for the same reason the story was rejected 3 years ago. Wikepedia is not a crock pot where crack pots like Palast can dump in some false information then let simmer for 3 years then recycle the story using it as a source.GTTofAK 04:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Whether or not Palast was correct and how his argument is presented is something for dispute resolution within the article. Regardless, the term has become notable if only because Goodling was quizzed about it before a Congressional body. Please follow neutrality guidelines in writing the article, and please don't engage in pointy AFD nominations that amount to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. --Dhartung | Talk 08:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• There are no independent sources on this outside of Palast. Word for word parrotings are not independent. Unless one can be found it shouldn't be up. If this is such a common term in political campaigns someone should be able to find a reference to it outside of Palast's allegation. Without proper sourcing this article is in violation of wikipedia's standards. Agian I remind everyone that this article was made the same day the mainstream media and even the non-mainstream media rejected Palast's allegation because they could not verify his definition of caging. Its quite obvious to anyone who reads Salon.com's rejection of his claim and then looks at the date and time that this article was created that it was created to invent the supporting evidence that Palast lacked.GTTofAK 15:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Please assume good faith and don't bring your conspiracy theories to AFD. --Dhartung | Talk 21:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I'll say it again. It doesn't matter whether the story is true or false, what matters is whether the term is notable. Given the huge amount of reliable secondary sources writing about it at the moment, the answer is probably yes. As long the article itself doesn't make baseless accusations but merely reports the controversy, then no rules or guidelines are being broken. EliminatorJR ^Talk 08:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy keep per EliminatorJR. The term is in widespread use. It may be that Palast's use is controversial or unconventional - I'm no expert - but the very fact that Goodling used the term before Congress without being asked to define it demonstrates its notability. If the article is biased, that may be fixed without deleting it. This AfD appears to come from a misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works, and should be concluded so that the energy being expended here can be redirected toward improving the article. -Pete 18:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Evidently, the term has been taken note of by House Judiciary Chair Conyers and is the object of further investigation and discovery. Since it's a term now current in the news, especially under its alternate entry as "vote caging," it has an obvious place in Wikipedia. In fact, much of this controversy seems to be based on the fact that the two terms, "Caging list," and "Vote caging," are conflated by Wikipedia. I recommend separating them with a link showing that the two terms are related and that the second is based upon the first, since their meanings appear to be diverging. As for complaints that reporting has been targeted at Republicans, that has more to do with the asymmetric nature of political vote caging than with the Republican party per se. It just happens that those voters who are most susceptible to the technique tend primarily to be poor, Black or Hispanic, and/or homeless. whether temporarily or otherwise. Since such people don't typically vote for Republicans, the practice is very valuable for one party, and almost worthless for the other. As for the sneering use of ironic quotes around the word "journalist" when referring to Mr. Greg Palast at the beginning of this discussion, this is perhaps an indicator that the author does not, himself, represent a truly neutral point of view, however much he likes to think of his personal opinions as "simple facts." Lee-Anne 12:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep AFD isn't a cleanup procedure. --81.82.14.85 15:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment There seems to be a lot of obfuscation here. This article is not about the alligation or the story it is about the term caging. Palast's definition of caging as a form of voter fraud has never been verified by independent third parties. In fact it was rejected by most all independent third party sources 2 1/2 years ago because it was not verifiable. This article does not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability standards and as such it is perfectly acceptable to put it up for deletion. So don't try to accuse me of being ignorant of board rules.. Rather than complaining perhaps the people here should go and find some source that independently verifies Palast's claim rather than parroting him word for word. If its such a common term and practice that should be easy right?GTTofAK 18:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Can I point you, again, to the comments above?. It doesn't matter whether Palast is right or wrong. Whether or not the term was in use before, it is now, and that's reported by multiple reliable sources. And, to be honest, your POV pushing as pointed out by User:Lee-Anne is rather noticeable. EliminatorJR ^Talk 19:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment So your argument is that it doesn't matter if the verification requirements have not been met. All that matters is that the lie has spread far enough. Thank you for confirming ones of the many faults with wikipedia. And no I don't think Palast is a credible journalist he is a muck raker that even the far left takes with a big grain if salt thats why I put it in quotes. Sue me.GTTofAK 21:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
    • GTTofAK said: Thank you for confirming ones of the many faults with wikipedia. 'Comment: The fault we should be concerned about is whether the mechanisms of Wikipedia are used properly to better the encyclopedia. If you have the goal of demonstrating a problem with Wikipedia, that would constitute a serious conflict of interest in this decision. Your positions are not unreasonable, but the idea that they constitute a reason to delete the article is simply illogical. Once that issue is settled, your arguments will be welcome in the process of ensuring that the article is as accurate as possible. But as long as you argue for the article's deletion, the only thing you accomplish is to undermine your own credibility. -Pete 22:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
      • GTTofAK said: This article does not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability standards... Comment If the BBC and the Guardian are not verifiable, what organization is? The Wikipedia verifiability standard doesn't address truth or falsity at all, but whether the item in question has some sort of reality beyond rumor and urban legend. While it may have been true at one time in the past that the Greg Palast story was relatively unsubstantiated, many similar stories have surfaced, in several different contexts, and the GeorgeWBush.org site has published the wrongly-delivered e-mails which form part of the basis for the original story, which also contain the term vote caging. Complaining about verifiability at this point is beating a dead horse; the issue is in the public eye and many have commented on it, some with independent information. As a meaningful phrase, the term deserves some treatment if the Wikipedia is to remain current with modern language. It might help to make more effort to ensure a neutral tone, either by mentioning verifiable examples of vote caging by other political parties or by recasting the discussion as more theoretical, either without specific reference to particular incidents or parties or by relegating all such references to external links. Lee-Anne 23:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• comment Everything posted is editorial by Palast. And Palast opinion is not a credible source. If this is such a common use of the term why is is so hard to find evidence outside of Palast.GTTofAK 23:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • (1) Not true: Monica Goodling's testimony before Congress using the term, the BBC and/or The Guardian's publication of Palast's material, and the common use of the term on blogs, talk radio, etc. are more than sufficient to credibly establish that the term "caging" has a meaning in politics, whether or not the technique has ever been used. That is all that has to be established to justify keeping the article. Specific arguments about when, where, and by whom caging has or has not been used are utterly irrelevant to the question at hand, and thus the allegedly controversial nature of Palast's claims simply have no bearing on an "article for deletion" nomination. They may have bearing on the contents of the article once it is kept. (2) GTTofAK, do you have a professional, financial, or other significant interest in suppressing discussion of vote caging? Are your edits to Wikipedia part of your duties in a paid position? -Pete 23:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

List of famous musical acts that have played at CBGB (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

WP:NOT#DIR; List of loosely associated topics. Just because some unrelated musical acts happened to have played at a small venue at some point in their careers is not a strong enough connection or identifying characteristic to create a list of those artists. Many of the most significant artists are already mentioned in the main article; any other major performances can also be added there. Masaruemoto 01:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Don't think a local venue deserves to have a seperate article about notable acts. Mention this in the club's article itself, it should be enough--JForget 01:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete While technically a "small venue", my understanding is that it was very important historically for the associated genre. However I think an EL for the article that lists the bands in the main CBGB article would be better. Lipsticked Pig 02:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per Lipsticked Pig, and follow L.P.'s advice with regard to the external link. The article about CBGB already mentions the major acts who were closely associated with the venue (such as Blondie and Talking Heads). There were many other acts who were less closely associated with CBGB, but nonetheless played there at some point in their career; we don't need a separate article to list them. --Metropolitan90 04:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: I would not recommend merging this page back into CBGB - it was originally moved here because it was making the main article unwieldy and was often vandalized. I can see how this list is still the magnet for vandals that it was when it was part of the CBGB page.

[edit] Malou Bonicos

Malou Bonicos (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non-notable illustrator who created an obscure children's series. Article reads like a resume, and it has such detailed personal information I suspect it was created by a friend or family member. No reliable sources found to confirm notability, just trivial references. Masaruemoto 00:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per WP:BIO. Artist might qualify for inclusion, but that isn't evident from the article that looks like a product of WP:COI from three accounts that only edit this article; see [30] [31] [32]). Lipsticked Pig 03:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep-- if she worked with Hunter Davies and actually designed a TV series, that's notable. Rhinoracer 19:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment A Google search for "Malou Bonicos" + "Hunter Davies" gives ZERO results, excluding Wikipedia mirrors. The TV series "The Beeps" + "Malou Bonicos" gives less than 20 results, none of them substantial. If you can provide significant reliable sources confirming her notability, please do so. Masaruemoto 01:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep-- She has worked with Hunter Davies on the Ossie book series, a quick search of Amazon.co.uk shows her name, but just as Malou (without Bonicos), and incorrectly as Editor, not illustrator. She also appears as the creator of The Beeps the BFI, which I would've thought a reliable source. The Beeps has appeared on UK TV, why is that so obscure? If she is deemed not noteable enough, perhaps some could be combined into The Beeps. Stuartea 11:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC).

[edit] University of Nottingham Halls of Residence

University of Nottingham Halls of Residence (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

No notability anywhere. I've been maintaining this article for months trying to get it into shape, and it's remained dorm-cruft. Stlemur 00:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, that's a good enough reason for me -- the fact that you've been trying to fix it and yet it's still crufty. It's just a big ol' honkin' list too, shouldn't be kept. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 01:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete not notable. <joke>also per this, #13</joke> Whsitchy 05:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge a summary of the information here should be on University of Nottingham. This page has too much detail, but the topic should be discussed. Maybe a description of the largest few halls, plus summary of the rest (e.g. how many places of what type on each campus). Also gives an excuse to preserve a couple of the photos. :) JulesH 12:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge as JulesH suggests.
• Keep - it's not like we're going to run out of paper. There is some notability about the halls. For example the fact that one of them (Cripps) is listed in spite of its relatively young age. Also, if I recall correctly, Cavendish won some sort of architectural award (I think there's a plaque in the entrance with details). The article also details that one of the halls housed the penultimate student-run bar in the country. I suggest creating a small box template that we could drop in for each hall stating the current Warden and JCR President which would make the remaining information more accessible. Jamse 21:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Hall Warden and JCR President aren't worth keeping; the rest isn't enough to be an article on its own. --Stlemur 21:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - first let me highlight a conflict of interest I have here - I have studied at UoN for over 7 years now (sigh), and have been a resident tutor at a UoN hall for 2 years previously. Yes the article is in quite poor shape, and yes the cruft needs to be removed. I agree with JulesH - the topic needs to be discussed, a number of these halls are notable (and have notable alumni/history) in there own right, but I do not think they should be merged to any other UoN pages, as there are too many halls / information to have a suitable sized single section. I won't get into trying to sort this page out myself, but if people wish to keep the page, I am happy to do a lot of leg work to get the page up to scratch (including contacting all the halls to garner useful information). I have some good connections with UoN and Students' Union that would be useful for this respect. It would be a good excuse to get involved again. Cheers Lethaniol 16:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blue dwarf

Blue dwarf (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

The article is titled blue dwarf, but it's about blue giants. Do blue dwarfs actually exist? Voortle 01:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes BlueEarth 16:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as possible hoax -- seems Blue giant covers it all, and I don't think blue dwarves exist. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 01:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Smells like a hoax to me. --Tλε Rαnδоm Eδιτоr 01:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Get me a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram stat! Actually this diff sort of explains what is meant. And there is a Blue Dwarf category. FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 01:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Additional comment Honestly, I think this is one Afd that needs a bit of input from the experts. The article needs clarification, certainly, so I will drop a line on the WikiProject Astronomy talk-page and look for input. FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 02:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I do not know what to do with this article, however this google search gets me plenty of scholarly references. Mostly to do with galaxies, apparently, but as such usage is in existence for decades, I think a simple deletion isn't the way to go. FrozenPurpleCube 02:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - certainly looked like a hoax to me, but then I saw [33] and [34]. Agree with FlowerpotmaN; expert needed. Lipsticked Pig 03:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm not an expert, but I do frequent an astronomy board. I'll ask around there tomorrow and see what we get. -- Kesh 03:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment That definition sounds like a white dwarf. Zetawoof_(ζ) 06:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Technically, there are no real blue giants either. We should probably consult an expert. Bradybd 08:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - This article was about Blue dwarfs until recently when an anon changed all references to dwarf to giant. Plenty of evidence that there are both blue dwarves and blue giants as two separate star types. I believe they both exist and there has been a lot of new classification of stars in recent years. It appears to be a very accepted classification in Astronomy. See refs [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40]. Seems commonplace in astronomical circles and the anon edit [41] (only edit they've ever made) was actually ether vandalism or a good faith misunderstood edit. In addition there are many stars on Wikipedia in the Blue Dwarf category. Ben W Bell talk 09:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • The article referred to blue dwarfs from the start; however, I'm pretty sure it did so incorrectly. The first non-stub revision read "Blue dwarfs [... have] a mass of 50 Suns." This sounds totally wrong for a hypothetical "blue dwarf", as the mass limit for a white dwarf is around 1.4 Suns - any larger and they go nova. I'm not an astrophysicist, but all the evidence points towards this article having been written (intentionally or unintentionally) about blue giants from the start. Zetawoof_(ζ) 10:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Ben, many of those references you cited are about blue dwarf galaxies, which is a different class of object that is distinct from blue dwarf stars.--mikeu 19:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - The article is about blue main sequence (hydrogen-burning) stars, which is already covered at blue giants. The other blue stars that could be considered dwarfs are white dwarfs, which are described at white dwarf. This article on blue dwarfs just confuses the issue. It would be best just to delete this article. Keeping it as a redirect does not even seem appropriate, as it is unclear where to redirect the article. (This may indicate that it would be appropriate to rename articles about specific classes of stars using technical terms but keeping the common names as redirects. So, for example, blue giant would be renamed O III star. This could prevent confusion in the future.) Dr. Submillimeter 12:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep if blue dwarfs actually exist, otherwise delete. If blue dwarfs exist, but nothing can be written about them, then make a disambiguation page between white dwarf and blue giant. Voortle 13:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete A look at the references returned by google scholar [42] show only four mentions of the phrase, so the term has been used on occasion, but it is not common or in widespread use. Does not merit an article, since as Dr. Submillimeter mentions, the subject is covered elsewhere.--mikeu 19:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - One of mikeu's comments highlighted an interesting point: "blue dwarf" is most likely to be used to refer to blue compact dwarf galaxies, not individual stars. I would recommend making this a redirect to blue compact dwarf galaxy, but the article does not yet exist. Dr. Submillimeter 20:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral Comment: Just pointing out again that there is a Blue Dwarfs category which uses this article as its main article, so bear in mind that something might have to be done with this category. At the moment, there are only nine stars in the category. FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 22:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - The category and the articles in the category are a mess. Apparently, "blue dwarf" is supposed to refer to OV stars. Some of the stars in the category are type OV stars, but at least one (Zeta Ophiuchi) is an OIII star, and a couple (e.g. Omega Herculis) do not have luminosity classes listed in the article or in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database, which would be the first reference that I would check for information on these stars. Dr. Submillimeter 07:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I assume that the category would not be created if the whole thing were a hoax. I am not an astronomer and thus am unqualified to comment on the content, but wonder whether we are dealing the results of inadequately repaired vandalism. If so, the solution is to ask an expert to attend to the article, rather than list it for AFD. Because I do not know neutral. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peterkingiron (talk • contribs) 00:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - Looking at Category:Stars by spectral type, it seems that blue dwarf is part of a scheme to describe stars by spectral class using layman's terms. The problem with this approach is that most classes of stars are not described by anyone using these terms. (Try finding references that describe K III stars as orange giants, for example.) I have made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects#Do star spectral class articles/categories need renaming? regarding these types of articles and categories. However, I still suggest deleting this article, as it is unclear that "blue dwarf" would ever be used to describe O V stars and as the material is mostly redundant with blue giant. Dr. Submillimeter 08:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Unfortunate delete — The topic of star types is covered in some detail by the stellar classification article. This article just seems to be a summary of a combined stellar and luminosity class and doesn't really add anything. Also I've seen the word "dwarf" is used in multiple senses in astronomy publications, including stars along the main sequence (which I think this article is meant to cover). But type-O stars are humongous stars, leading to the proverbial "giant dwarf". — RJH (talk) 15:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This article is about stars with spectral type O and luminosity class V, which certainly exist. So, it is not a hoax. It is named poorly, but the remedy for this is renaming, not deletion. Also, the blue giant article is about stars with spectral type O and luminosity class III. (Both articles are part of a larger series of articles which classify stars by spectral type and luminosity class.) Therefore, the assertion that this article is redundant with blue giant is not correct. Spacepotato 01:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Note the other problems above with the article and its name. If kept, can this be renamed as Type-O V star or Type-O dwarf star? I sincerely believe that "blue dwarf" is more likely to be used as a synonym for blue compact dwarf galaxies. Also, both blue dwarf and blue giant describe Type-O main sequence stars, so they are very close to redundant. However, this article might fit into a hierarchy of articles sorted by spectral and luminosity class. Dr. Submillimeter 09:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
