[edit] The Numbers (website)

The Numbers (website) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non-notable website. Page has no citations to anything other than the website itself, Google search of related terms reveals only two results. Both are from the official website. No indication of discussion in notable, reliable third-party publications. Gromlakh (talk) 23:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Possibly a candidate for db. Nousernamesleft^{talk and matrix?} 00:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• I agree, but another user (not the author) deleted the speedy template. I figured it would just be easier to take it here. Gromlakh (talk) 01:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak delete. It's been cited by a few reliable sources, e.g. Deseret News,Topeka Capital-Journal, but they're not really endorsing it. If someone can find an article about this site (rather than just referencing it) I'd consider reversing my position. Pburka (talk) 01:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Melanie Wood

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

NUMEROUS people on the talk page have pointed out this woman is NOT NOTABLE. The only reason this is still here is because User: C S has made it his personal crusade to defend this page. Johnnygood (talk) 23:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak delete. However, I would be open to persuasion if it could be shown that she was a notable mathematician rather than just a promising one. Capitalistroadster (talk) 23:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Probably notable within the world of competitive mathematics (I never knew such a thing existed, but that's what we're here for) for her various prizes and fellowships; would definitely pass WP:BIO if she were (mutatis mutandis) an athlete or musician. Tevildo (talk) 00:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • (Upgrade per dtrebbien) Tevildo (talk) 02:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Non mathematics people don't understand that MathCounts, International Mathematical Olympiad, and the Putnam Competition are extremely difficult tests for the respective groups of test takers. To have done well in all three is extremely notable. It's not just a sign of a promising career. « D. Trebbien (talk) 01:43 2008 January 20 (UTC)

Johnnygood isn't a sock puppet account, is it? The only contributions were to nominate Melanie Wood for deletion.

• Keep Article contains ample references to demonstrate notability. Colonel Warden (talk) 04:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep I think Mrs. Wood is a future star mathematician. It is a notable biography. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Not yet notable purely for her academic record, but clearly notable for the competition record and the "firsts" as a female. And, in reply to the nominator, ONLY ONE person on the talk page has said that the subject is not notable. The other discussions concern categorisation and the length of the article, not notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. As a researcher in mathematics she may be promising but not yet notable, but nonetheless she is notable for her quite unusual history even if not for research she's published so far. Michael Hardy (talk) 16:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. as per Michael Hardy. Ubermichael (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Quite notable. Also, possible one-purpose account is nominator. Nousernamesleft^{talk and matrix?} 19:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] JANJAN

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

Not notable for inclusion. WordMachine (talk) 23:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Most sources are in Japanese (which I can't read) but it appears to have support from Fujisoft[1]. If kept, suggest moving to "Japan Alternative News for Justices and New Cultures". Pburka (talk) 02:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Could anyone explain in what way this newspaper is not notable? Need more references? I created the article basically to get rid of a red link. It can be expanded more seriously. But that's another story. Also, since JANJAN appears to be the official name, the renaming doesn't make much sense. It would be like renaming GNU to Gnu is not Unix. -- Taku (talk) 03:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I think the thing is, we have no idea whether it is notable or not, and the article certainly doesn't say that it is, or why it is. Is it a notable newspaper? Or is it just another website? We need independent sources confirming notability, as discussed at WP:NOTE. --Stormie (talk) 21:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I added a bit. More can be added. Is that enough? -- Taku (talk) 23:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• rename and expand to Ken Takeuchi. Chris (クリス) (talk) 03:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep JANJAN is one of the most known online citizen journalism sites in Japan, largely due to its founders being reputable figures (a former mayor of a large city and a former chief editor at Asahi Shimbun). --Saintjust (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unless third-party sources affirming notability can be provided. As it stands, this is possibly even a candidate for speedy deletion, as it does not even assert notability. --DAJF (talk) 13:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Note: I have speedily deleted this page, somehow not spotting this AfD, for this I apologize to you all. I've closed the DRV as overturning myself. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 21:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beijing Riviera (Beijing)

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

This is an article about one of many gated communities in China and this one is not more notable than any other one. The community mentioned is of a higher standard than many others, but this doesn't make it notable. I Poeloq (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Riverside Garden (Shenyang)

Riverside Garden (Shenyang) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This is an article about one of many gated communities in China and this one is not more notable than any other one. The community mentioned is of a higher standard than many others, but this doesn't make it notable. Poeloq (talk) 23:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep — The subject of the article clearly exists. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 03:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Of course it exists, i've been there. That doesn't mean it passes WP:N. It is one of many "luxury" gated communities in China, of which literally hundreds or even thousands exist. Poeloq (talk) 03:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - and we should have an article on every one of them that is this large if we have reliable sources about it. WAS 4.250 (talk) 14:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Unremarkable community/housing development/residential complex. Shawis (talk) 06:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • That's incorrect. WAS 4.250 (talk) 14:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - I added sources and claims of notability. Turns out it is in fact notable. WAS 4.250 (talk) 14:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Those sources are not reliable (forum, bbs) and do not make it more notable. One is a guide to eating and shopping written by people in Shenzhen and the other is a rental advert. How does this make it notable? Poeloq (talk) 15:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
    • The sources taken as a whole make it clear that it is a notable subsection of a city containing notable buildings used for commerce. Being in China means there will be fewer English language references on the web. Here are some of our articles about parts of Newark:
  • Newark Penn Station, a railroad/subway/bus transportation hub
  • Newark-Elizabeth Rail Link
  • Newark Light Rail
  • Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal
  • Newark Bay
  • Newark Public Schools
  • Newark Museum
  • Newark Public Library
  • Seton Hall University
  • Seventh Avenue, Newark, New Jersey
    • There is no reason not to have articles on named parts of cities. WAS 4.250 (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Comment: This is true, but this isn't a "part of town", but a commercial property development. The links you included are all on the verge of being deleted, I deleted one already as it could pass as spam (a link to a real estate dealer). The links you mention above have nothing in common with the property mentioned. Again: This is a commercial property development, a gated community. Not a part of town. Poeloq (talk) 17:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

        • I'm aware that it is "a development by a private company". That does not mean it is not also a part of a city. See Military Park (NCS station) and Military Park and Prudential Center. People live there. people work there, people shop there. It is as notable as a major shopping mall, or a neighborhood of 1000 houses. Real estate developers are not inherently a bad source of information. Look up spam. It does not mean what you think it means. You appear to demean anything commercial. Being commercial neither indicates non-notability nor a poor source. WAS 4.250 (talk) 18:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

          • Riverside Garden is not a park like Military Park, even if the name might imply such a thing. This is due to marketing strategies Chinese property developers take. Riverside Garden is also not the home to a major sports team as the Prudential Center is, which makes it notable. I am also not against commercial things, the exact opposite actually. I am just trying to clarify that this is not a town neighbourhood, it is a gated community for rich Chinese and expats. Also, the sources you give are either not verifiable (forums) or not independent (advertisement). I myself live in such a gated community in China. It is like saying that a road is notable because it contains houses, offices and shops - it doesn't work like that. Poeloq (talk) 18:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

<<<<A road like [[Seventh Avenue, Newark, New Jersey? I think our differences lie mostly in believing Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia about important things versus believing Wikipedia to be the "sum of all knowledge". I see nothing wrong with articles about major roads that have houses, offices and shops. It is verifiable and useful. "Notable" is just shorthand for verifiable and useful, in my opinion. And the facts in our article on Riverside Garden are verifiable and useful. A foreigner being told of a meeting at Riverside Garden can now look it up and see what "Riverside Garden" is. We are better than Google. We make the internet not suck. What is the most useful thing we can do with regard to this article for a reader who types "Riverside Garden" into Wikipedia? WAS 4.250 (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Your vision for Wikipedia is nice, but it isn't intended that way. You might want to check Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory, and other related areas of WP:NOT where it clearly states that we don't intend to be a guidebook, directory or a help in conducting business. That's the way it is. Poeloq (talk) 19:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

We disagree. I think it plain that Wikipedia is meant to have articles on all named and verifiable communities of 1000 or more units. WAS 4.250 (talk) 19:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, we agree to disagree :) . Let's see what other editors have to say. Poeloq (talk) 19:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, everything that has a verifiable existence should have an article. WP:NOT is wrong. Remember, "policy" on Wikipedia is not prescriptive--we are not obligated to care what it says. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!') 19:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Kurt, you've just used one of the things listed over at WP:ATA, namely Wikipedia should be about everything. Also pointing out that policy can be ignored, is also not a valid argument in an AfD discussion. Poeloq (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

You know, that's just my point. It is my position that Wikipedia SHOULD be about everything; thus, my argument is perfectly valid. And yes, policy can and should be ignored. All it is is a description of what has typically happened in certain situations in the past. It is not a set of rules that must be followed in the future. The choice of the word "policy" as the appellation was unfortunate, and it has confused many a well-meaning user. But, the fact of the matter is that on Wikipedia, policy is not prescriptive and there is no obligation to "follow" it simply because "it's policy". You do what's right, whether it accords with policy or not. So don't argue based on policy--argue based on what's right for the project. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 20:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Did you even read the link I quoted? I know that policy can and should at times be ignored. However, in an AfD discussion there are certain things that need to be quoted and used to base a decission on, otherwise we could just abolish AfD all together - which I am sure you would favor. Poeloq (talk) 20:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've read it many times. It's irrelevant. All it is is a list some people put together that amounts to "I don't agree with these arguments, so I've decided you shouldn't use them." That's all it is. And I'm not talking about "ignoring policy"--because there is nothing to ignore in the first place! The word "policy" has a different meaning on Wikipedia than it does in the rest of the world. In the rest of the world, actions follow policy: if they don't, then people should change their actions so they do follow policy. However, on Wikipedia, policy follows actions. If actions are not in line with "policy", then, then "policy" needs to be changed to reflect that fact. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 21:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep-- great points above. I feel it is right to keep this article. The place exists, the article's useful and helpful, can be improved to be more so, and why not? SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 22:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: In what way is the article useful? And there are a lot of things that exist but don't facilitate an own article. BTW, don't be confused by the name: this is not a park or area of town. Poeloq (talk) 23:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a street directory. Whether we should have articles for every neighborhood in Newark (and Seventh Avenue, Newark, New Jersey is about a neighborhood, not the eponymous street) is another question, best decided at another AfD. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 00:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Generic subdivision; little better than spam or advertising. Gamaliel (talk) 08:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable neighborhood, certainly "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" has not been demonstrated, despite efforts to find mentions in various listings and forum threads. --Stormie (talk) 08:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - there is a notable development in China - that one where the houses and towns imitate western-style architecture and layout. You would think you were in a suburb in London or Paris or the US, except it is for rich people in China instead. Can anyone remember that one? I've tried to find an article on it and failed. Carcharoth (talk) 13:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It might be Beijing World Park, though I was thinking of something more than this. Maybe it is in Shanghai instead? I think that was it - the "Paris Gardens" development. No article though. Another example of a notable city area is 798 Art Zone. I don't think this one being discussed here cuts it. Carcharoth (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Found it! Thames Town. See here and here.

      "Complete with cobbled streets, mock Tudor houses and English-style boutiques, Thames Town is one of nine satellite towns planned for the greater Shanghai area, with German, Italian and Spanish towns in development."

      Glad I wasn't imagining it! Carcharoth (talk) 13:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Clearly does not pass the bar for neighborhoods. Likely fails WP:RS. Almost every neighborhood has news coverage but that does not mean that they are all notable. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Notability is irrelevant. All that matters is verifiable existence. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 03:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep 1000 units - Tiny villages in UK/Ireland are deemed noteworthy. A larger community in a far off place (to me) must also be noteworthy. Aatomic1 (talk) 10:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. The sources presented in the article are not reliable, and we need to see some reason why this development project is notable. We need this standard for gated communities / housing subdivisions, because there is a major potential for advertising abuse here. Mangojuice^talk 19:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • First, if you have a problem with the sources given, the solution is not to delete but rather to find better sources. Second, as I have explained several times here, notability is irrelevant. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 19:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Kurt, we all know your radical opinion on deletion and consensus. This is why your RfA failed back in 2005. Consesus in the communuty is that notability is relevant. Secondly, other/reliable sources on this subject are hard to find. I did a search in Chinese, however could only really find promotional information and press releases plus the odd rental offer. Poeloq (talk) 19:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually, Kurt, lack of adequate sourcing is a good reason to delete: see WP:DEL#REASON. If there is good reliable information out there, the article can stay. But none has been shown and it seems highly unlikely to. If you want to dispute that you're going to need to find some good sources. Mangojuice^talk 20:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - Really, people. - Corporal Tunnel (talk) 19:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Corporal, that's not too useful. Do you mind elaborating on your opinion on why you think it should be deleted? Poeloq (talk) 19:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Sure. It strikes me as utterly uninteresting and irrelevant to anyone who does not live within 100 yards of it, and lacks any source suggesting that it is any more interesting than the next community 100 yards in the other way. Its entry is largely defended on the grounds that the subject exists, and under that criterion I won't support it until the Wiki has an independently-authored article on my shoe. It is pretty much inconceivable that it could perform any role which would make an entry on it useful to a reader, researcher, or seeker of knowledge, and anyone who is curious about where it is - perhaps hankering for some root beer, or Tostitos - would be far better served by a map. Or, in the shorter version - really, people. Delete. - Corporal Tunnel (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  Comment: re "delete per nom" votes: The nominator has stated in a comment "I have no problem with a merge as long as it can be written in a scientific point of view.".

Furthermore, the nomination statement says "quackery", definitions of which include the concepts of fraud, dishonesty, pretending to be a doctor, ignoring scientific findings etc. I do not believe that Udo Erasmus has done any of that, and no evidence of such has been presented either here or in the articles about him; in fact, he cites scientific findings in his book. Some of his ideas may be unproven or partially unproven; others are established scientific fact; but discussing speculative or (as-yet-)unproven ideas does not constitute fraud. The nomination itself could perhaps be considered a BLP violation. --Coppertwig (talk) 12:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RHEMA Bible Training Center

RHEMA Bible Training Center (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

A very nicely written advertisement, but an advertisement nonetheless. The only source cited in this article which is not from the organisation's own website, is on the site of the designer of the new basketball court - and as such is not properly independent. I Googled a bit but found only more of the same: uncritical puffery based presumably on press releases, comments from alumni and the like. One namecheck in Google News, and that's ab out it. Guy (Help!) 10:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge relevant information into Kenneth E. Hagin. This one was tough for me, as I know this school is extremely well known in the Charismatic world. However, after looking for secondary sources and finding none and coming up with only blogs and churches who endorse the school on Google, I simply cannot vote keep on an article about an unaccredited school. Redfarmer (talk) 13:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge per Redfarmer: I think that Word of Faith might be a better target article than Hagin's personal entry, but I agree that this organization fails WP:ORG in its own right. Tevildo (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment AfD is not an edit-on-demand service. Merge does not require WP:AFD, it just requires WP:EDIT. It is not very fair to direct the closing admin to select from several possible targets recommended and to decide what content in such a long article should be merged. Closing administrators are ideally not very familiar with the subject of the article, and interested editors should not tell an admin close this and now go edit it in this way. Be WP:BOLD and edit it yourself and then say merge already done, redirect this to target-x. JERRY ^talk _contribs 22:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

A few respected editors have taken offense at my comment above. I did not intend to offend anybody, and I don't think I said anything inherantly uncivil; but all I wanted to say is please do not add more "Merge per aboves", as the merge recommendations are incomplete in that they do not say WHAT to WHERE. Please be specific, and if you are inclined; do the bold thing. Thanks. JERRY ^talk _contribs 05:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - I disagree with Hagin's theology, but it is widely supported in charismatic circles. Accordingly, I would have thought that an institute training people in it (though unaccredited) was notable. Problems over sourcing etc, require tagging, not nominating as AFD. Peterkingiron (talk) 01:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

There's a problem with that, in that the place clearly fails WP:ORG due to lack of independent sources. Guy (Help!) 10:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Strong Keep - Then don't delete it, Guy, fix it. As Peterkingiron observed, this place is very notable in charismatic circles, which make up a very large segment of the U.S. population. Plus their classes are transferable to accredited schools, so they are notable in and of themselves, not just as part of some other person, place or thing. I recommend you at least try to find those independent sources - I guarantee they're out there. Goo2you (talk) 16:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DTT Surveillance

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

There are no provided non-trivial articles about DTT. One of the provided and still available articles doesn't mention DTT until page 2 and the other is just a company press release. Doesn't seem to satisfy WP:NOTE. Most of the article seems to come from the corporate web site and so there is no 3rd party verifiability. Seems to fall under the WP:NOT#ADVERTISING JJLatWiki (talk) 01:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete this looks like a successful company, but there's no evidence that it's particularly notable. --Nick Dowling (talk) 04:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as nn - I went and checked the list of refs given. First two have expired links. Third one to L.A. Business Journal requires a log in (that's a no no). Fourth ref doesn't even mention the subject, and fifth ref from findarticles.com links to this very same Wikipedia article! Sting_au Talk 12:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Actually the Securityinfowatch article does mention the subject - about the last 40% of the article is about DTT's products. And requiring a login is most emphatically not an "no-no". However I have found a copy of the first few paragraphs freely available online and fixed the reference in the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment There's no requirement that a reference not require a login, or even be online at all. Physical books and newspapers are just fine. Suggest that the references be changed to footnoted cites, with the author, issue, etc. filled in. Squidfryerchef (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Only one of the references requires a login. 2 have been removed, so those wanting to keep this article based on those articles have the burden of finding a valid source. Of the remaining 2 references, one mentions the DTT, and the other is a common press release from DTT. For all the boasts, one would expect it to be an easy task of finding non-trivial articles of which DTT is the subject. --JJLatWiki (talk) 00:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lynne Spears

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

A user tagged this page for deletion but never created the AfD. I'm just completing the nomination. I suppose Lynne Spears' notability could solely be inherited from Britney Spears and might not pass WP:BIO. Spellcast (talk) 20:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Keep You should have googled for her first, there are hundreds of hits from reliable sources. Did you know she wrote a book? http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20167088,00.html talks about it. There are refs from Access Hollywood, etc. Very notable.

Unpublished authors are not notable. When the book is actually published, then maybe. Bearcat (talk) 23:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Her other book was published in 2001, and made into a TV movie. See IMDB link below. Pharmboy (talk) 01:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• delete d'oh! The very link someone used in this AfD in 'evidence' is actually titled "Lynne Spears's Parenting Book 'Delayed Indefinitely"when she actually publishes it then maybe recreate, but for now it's as yet unwritten and WP:CRYSTAL. Merkinsmum 22:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment WP:CRYSTAL applies to future events that are not verified by reliable sources, and doesn't apply. The book was just delayed, and it is sourced but that is only one note. I don't really give a damn about any the Spears family personally and don't any of them intertaining, but 596,000 ghits of her name tells me that a few probably pass wp:rs. She has an IMDB entry as well, for the made for tv movie (shudder) she wrote and produced, based on her 2001 novel "A Mother's Gift". Again, I don't care for them, but that would seem to pass notability. Existing novel, wrote and produced a movie, and almost 600k other ghits I really don't want to swim through. Pharmboy (talk) 01:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment I note that some of those 596,000 google hits may include references to her daughter, Jamie Lynne Spears. I've seen her name spelled with the e, and thought that her article was the one up for deletion when I came to this debate. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 18:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - If it were just that she was Britney's Mom, I'd vote delete because notability is not inherited. However, she herself has been reported on in the grand scheme of Britney's whole fiasco, she's published a couple of books, etc. That's enough notability for her own article. Gromlakh (talk) 18:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. For two reasons: first, she seems to have done some notable stuff on her own, probably because of her famous daughter. Second, she is the mother of two noteworthy people, so redirecting to either would would seem inappropriate. Mangojuice^talk 19:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pseudo-orders

This article is on a topic that is ambiguous and unhelpful and its associated category is confusing. The linked and similar article Chivalric orders is poor and needs improving but is easier to understand, and is enough for the topic. --Sannhet (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

this will create an improved clearer article. Having read the all arguments I do not now believe either article does anything that would not be better than a good edit to articles on individual orders. --Kyndinos (talk) 20:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Merge seems reasonable if it will actually help the Chivalric orders article. Gimmetrow 23:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Strongest Possible Delete - labeling something as a Pseudo-anything should be done in the Article and with Citation! As it currently is operating this Article does not define what makes an Order "Pseudo" and is only causing edit/revert wars galore on every article that gets tagged "Pseudo" for unknown/unexplained reasons. Disclosure- my opinion is the same for the relevent Category deletion request. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 04:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete This article has little useful content and seems to be causing more trouble than it is worth. The creator User:Yopie (User talk:Yopie) was PRODed, and legitimately resisted, so this did not work. --Quaerere Verum (talk) 12:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose OK, as I understand, there are two problems. First, that article is causing revert war, but this is not problem of article or me, but this is problem of anonimous vandalism (somebody delete references and in second step he say, that this article is without references. Second, that definition of "self-styled order" is unclear, but this is reason for improvement, not for deletion! If somebody is wise for deletion, why he not improve article? Discussion page of article is only with my edits... It is like somebody want deletion without rational discussion about what is "bad" or "good". As I understand Wiki deletion policy, there must be discussion before deletion. Yopie 14:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

And what is interesting, Simsek is co-author of article Scottish Knights Templar and probably member of this association, Exit2DOS2000 is co-author of article Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (and probably member of this), Quaerere Verum is co-author Knights Templar in Scotland and I bet for his membership in Scottish Knights Templar. This is very interesting and make big shadow over theirs objectivity. Maybe is this sort of "templars revenge", but I´m not king Philip_IV_of_France :) Yopie 19:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

No, this isn't a "templars reverange", it is simply editors not wanting Articles we care about getting badly described in a badly defined Article and a similarly badly defined Catagory. If there is something "Pseudo" about a group, put it in the Article and give a Citation. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 04:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

A bit surprised to see I am credited as co-author :-). The log shows both articles were created by SKT1314 (talk•contribs) and then developed by Steve Zissou (talk•contribs). An interesting conspiracy theory, but this is just about removing an article and a category that do nothing for Wikipedia.--Simsek (talk) 07:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

So, summary, there are two groups. First, who want delete this article, because is "badly written" - but this is argument for rewriting, adding etc. (Of course, I assume, that this group is connected with "Knight Templars"). Second opinion is, that this article have bad name - I agree, better will be "Self-styled orders" or "Revived orders" or so.Yopie 01:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yopie (talk • contribs)

Why do you insist that we are Knights Templar simply because we disagree with you? I kindly ask that you please stop making this kind of statement, it is not helping you put across your point of view. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 03:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Good point. The idea that the delete argument is being driven by what the article describes as "the extinct order of Knights Templar" is a wonderful oxymoron, and is the weakest possible argument for retaining the article.--Quaerere Verum (talk) 08:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

• Strongest Possible Delete Pseudo is a really bad definition for anything and is bound to cause trouble. Chivalric orders should be developed instead. It is not suprising the article creator Yopie (talk • contribs) - difficult to follow due to lack of proper signatures - should oppose deletion, but the argument for no deleting is difficult to follow. --Simsek (talk) 17:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Probably rename - The real probelm is that the article Chivalric orders is a poor one, being little more than a list. This article would be suitable as a section in that article, explaining that certain other "orders" are properly "pseudo-orders", being self-appointed rather than derived from a monarch. If Chivalric orders had some encyclopaedic content (beyond the list), I would say merge, but until there is something worth merging it to, I have to suggest rename. This raises the question of what to rename to - perhaps Invented orders of chivlary. Subject to this the article is a reasonable one that merely needs a lilte cleaning up. Peterkingiron (talk) 00:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep if it can be shown current name is used. Rename or merge if not.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete "Pseudo" is a bad definition for anything. It will lead to a lot of misunderstanding. Issues raised by it can be developed in the article Chivalric orders or in the articles in the orders which will need individual discussion. --Dikkat (talk) 06:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete "Pseudo orders" is a concept related to chemical engineering, mathematics and computer science. Martintg (talk) 12:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. I think I got the category deleted last week, but it came back. It was a speedy delete, so I don't think it was recorded. For me pseudo has always had a pejorative connotation. I looked it up in the Cambridge Dictionaries Online where it is defined as "prefix MAINLY DISAPPROVING not real; pretended:pseudo-religious; a pseudo-intellectual". I'm sure that's not what it's creator intended, but that's the subtlety of the English language for you. That's why I believe this article and its associated category should go. --Frank Ness (talk) 17:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

That seems an argument for renaming, rather than for deletion. I suggested one alternative name above. Can any one suggest somethign better? Peterkingiron (talk) 21:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

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

Arguably insufficiently notable. I PRODded the article hoping for second opinion but the author (legitimately) deleted it so none was offered, hence bringing it here for discussion instead. Some association with Chamillionaire but I do not believe own article is warranted. Also in dispute over the name "Famous" so something would need doing to disambiguate.

[edit] Blood and Ice Cream

Blood and Ice Cream (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

The director and lead actor in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz have made the same joke three times in interviews and DVD commentaries - that the two films could be considered part of a "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy, as they both feature gory violence and Cornetto ice-creams. Neither of the films is marketed as being part of this trilogy, though, and no other sources reference it. Until we can do something more than write this up as the one-sentence joke it appears to be, I don't think it needs a full article. Delete. McGeddon (talk) 00:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Merge I've thought this also, but as they have referenced it , I think the best course of action would be to merge it into both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz's pages.-Mastrchf91- 20:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. This article seems to be a good place to record the documented themes that run through the films, and to act as a way to link them together (although maybe the latter would be better served by a category). -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 10:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps, but the only documented themes to date are "they both have blood and they both have a coloured ice-cream"; neither Pegg nor Wright has spoken about it in any greater detail than that, and waiting for the possibility of better interview sources in the future seems excessively speculative. Given that the series only contains two films at the moment, the articles can (and do) simply link to one another, for now. --McGeddon (talk) 11:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

This is true, but the fact that the "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy" has been mentioned by them on more than one occasion does lead me to believe that it is at least notable, and as such deserves some mention.-- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 11:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, we can note it, but until the available sources give us more than a one-sentence "both these films have blood and ice-cream", it's better noted in each of the two film articles, rather than being an optimistic and entirely unexpandable stub. --McGeddon (talk) 11:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Like I keep saying they have more than 'blood and ice cream' in them. And everything that is repeated is intentional. Thats what links these films as a trilogy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliw136 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but we need citable sources confirming that these things are specifically in there as part of the trilogy, and not just as director's trademarks. After all, Arnie says "I'll be back" in virtually every film he's in, but that doesn't link them as part of a series! -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 16:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

The only way to solve this is to accept that its intentional or ask the writers if its intentional. aliw136 16:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)aliw136 (talk)

Neither option fits with Wikipedia guidelines. "Accept that it's intentional" goes against WP:VERIFY and to "ask the writers if it's intentional" goes against WP:OR. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 16:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

... There is obviously the third option of "assume that it is unintentional", which is the only place we can go for now, until further interviews tell us more about Pegg and Wright's view of the trilogy. --McGeddon (talk) 17:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Does Wiki still have the page for the 'Mediocre American Man' trilogy? There's no formal recognition of the trilogy existing in either Anchorman or The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - but it's still generally accepted that a trilogy exists. If it remains - there's no reason why this shouldn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.95.40.137 (talk) 17:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and it's just as unsourced as this one; if there's "no formal recognition" that it exists, then it doesn't have any place in an encyclopaedia. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is never a valid reason to keep an article. --McGeddon (talk) 17:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

It's very rare for a trilogy like this to be recognised as a trilogy, because we're thinking of the Lord of the Rings type trilogy. --aliw136 16:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I saw they were being sold together in a set on Amazon. Supposedly when they finish the last film, it'll be sold in a boxset. (and with three different cornettos joke the writers on the DVD commentary.)--aliw136 16:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete this is true fancruft. Just important enough to be mentioned in the articles on the films. A title which is not used is not notable. In fact , the first reference has the writer using a different possible collective title " Three Colours: Cornetto." Possibly when they finish the films, they will give them a title and we can have an article. DGG (talk) 03:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

St. James Day Celebration (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Non notable 'holiday' relating to basketball. Google doesn't seem to throw up any reliable sources, but a second pair of eyes would be appreciated on that front. Prod was removed with the comment "This is a de facto holiday observed throughout the United States, observed accross professions and socioeconomic levels." J Milburn (talk) 18:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion has been proposed on the basis of its non-importance. As the author, I would argue that the NCAA tournament phenomenon and its effects on the US economy are widely recognized in the wikipedia and the media at large. The movement toward a national holiday is relatively young--seven years and counting. However, if this article is deleted now, the wikipedia community will lose early documentation of a social phenomenon near its inception.

Note also that the article is under construction, and additional supporting references are projected to be added in the coming weeks. Derekdsimmons (talk) 19:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep or conceivably merge, or perhaps simplify. The meaning of "plot summary" is "plot summary," not "related to the plot". Characters and plot are separate elements of fiction.

This was speedy-tagged as an A7. I declined to delete it on the basis that notability was asserted (although I stated that I wasn't at all sure that it would survive an AfD if brought here). Today, the subject of the article appears to have requested its deletion. Given that it might not clear WP:N as it is, I think the apparent request of the subject should be enough to delete this.

• Delete per the following quote at WP:BLP "When closing an AfD about living persons whose notability is ambiguous, the closing administrator should take into account whether the subject of the article has asked that it be deleted, and may exercise his or her own discretion in fulfilling that request.". Clearly meets that standard, the notability here is borderline at best, and given the self-request to have it deleted, it seems clear there is not much of a reason to keep it around. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Ros0709 (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

That kind of out of process use of admin tools in an area in which you have an interest would be inappropriate. Let's assume he's telling the truth. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Speedying his own article wouldn't be a conflict of interest, would it? Considering Angela Beesley was not just an admin but a board member, and wanted her article deleted, and didn't delete it herself... But, I'm sure she secretly glories in in as well. Yes, absolutely let's look into Kpjas's heart, and not pay any attention to what he actually says. No, wait, that's not sufficiently verifiable, is it? I've got it - let's use divination by tea leaves! I've just drunk a cup of Earl Grey, and, stirring the cup three times widdershins and peering into the dregs ... no, the tea leaves say, he wants it deleted after all, like he says. Sorry. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 21:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

More seriously, please do compare our article Angela Beesley, which has 12 sources, and still has been repeatedly nominated for deletion, mainly for the "she doesn't want it" reason, coming reasonably close each time. Now Poland isn't quite as media-rich and Internet-wired as the UK, but neither is it Chad. I think a little bit more than a paragraph about winning an award can be asked for to prove Kpjas to be undisputably notable, in the face of his not wanting it. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 21:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Although I haven't registered an opinion here as such I did tag the article for speedy delete when it was created on grounds of notability. Given the overwhelming opinion in favour of delete so far I do not think that observation (carefully expressed as a comment, full of weasel words) will in any way affect the result.

[edit] History of Romania since 2007

History of Romania since 2007 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Arbitrary sectioning of Romanian history, with focus on very recent developments; the text is of low quality and simply redundant to existing articles, and there is obviously no scholarly precedent for this. The entire article could fit nicely into the preexisting History of Romania since 1989 (you'll also note that the creation of this article has left the other under an absurd title - "since 1989", but then "since 2007", and until?). Dahn (talk) 15:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - nominator's vote. Dahn (talk) 15:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - pointless. bogdan (talk) 15:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral for now Delete see reasoning below While the nominator is correct that currently the article is simply a copy of the 2004-2007 section of the Romania since 1989 article, this article was just created 25 minutes ago (I believe it was nominated five minutes after its creation). It has the potential to develop into a fairly good article and I believe it would have been best to have waited a few days to see if the creator intended to expand the article before nominating it for afd. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

What about my other points? Dahn (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you that the naming is not the best but that can be fixed without a deletion. As for your point about scholarly precedent, the 1989 article was created because in 1989 because communism fell in '89. And while the joining of NATO and the EU are clearly not as momentous as the fall of communism, they are still important events that may merit a different article about the politics after the joining. I believe this to be a good faith nomination and I will most likely !vote delete if nothing is improved, however I believe it probably would have been better to wait a few days and see how the article developed. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:10, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:RECENT. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete if no improvement. I agree with Tony on it just being created, I HATE such fast vfd's.

• Merge back into the 1989 article. It's obvious how 1989 is significant enough a year in Romanian history to qualify as an article separation point, but 2007? Bearcat (talk) 22:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete no evidence that 2007 was a particularly WP:N year for Romania. JJL (talk) 00:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge back - that is if there is anythign worth merging. Peterkingiron (talk) 01:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Reasoning I have already noted above may dismay that this article was nominated for deletion within five minutes of its creation, but after a day and after notifying the creator of its nomination the article still is just a copy of the 2004-2007 section of Romania since 1989. As such there is no reason that this topic merits its own article at this present time. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Even that aside, though, history since 2007 of any country will not be substantial enough to warrant an article. Perhaps in the future, Romanian history can be broke into 1989-2007 and Since 2007 as EU membership shapes the next 10 years of history, but at the moment, there's hardly enough content to warrant an independent article for Romania after EU membership. matt91486 (talk) 01:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I agree completely; sorry if I didn't make that clear in my reasoning . TonyBallioni (talk) 20:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep 2007 was one of the most important years for Romania. Since 2007, Romania is a full EU member. Since then the history is changed in better. EU means that Romania will loose an important part of its sovereignity: currency (EURO), borders (Schengen) and so on.Anton Tudor (talk) 06:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of professional sports team owners

List of professional sports team owners (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

This seems to be a load of things bundled into one list. I wouldn't mind seeing a list for each individual sport (e.g. List of Formula One team owners; List of soccer team owners), but having this seems a bit overkill. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. D.M.N. (talk) 13:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - according to the page itself, the list includes anyone who has ever owned a sports team. Given how many sports teams have gone through many owners in their life, and there are hundreds of thousands of professional sports teams around the world, this list could go on forever. Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 14:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Extrapolation to the limits of the absurd is almost never a very good argument in favor of deletion, save for those occasions like "List of White People". I do agree with DMN that this would be more useful if it were split up into individual articles (NFL owners, MLB owners, English league owners, etc.). It's not indiscriminate, since it matches the owners to what they owned. Since the identity of a franchise owner is just as relevant as the identity of the coach or manager, the topic itself is relevant. I'd suggest leaving this up long enough to merge the information into existing "owners of teams" articles, spinning off what's left, and then deleting. Mandsford (talk) 16:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Basic search indicates one article List of NFL franchise owners that is only about current ownership. I didn't find an equivalent for MLB, NBA or NHL. Mandsford (talk) 16:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Categorize? The list seems to add no new information other than to organize it. It's also incomplete. I notice they only had recent owners of the Chicago Cubs, for example. If you replace the list with some appropriate category, and the "succession boxes", then you wouldn't need the list anymore. Any volunteers for that work? FYI, the list has been around since November 2006, when User:Tecmobowl created it. However, he has nothing new to say about it, as he's been banned from wikipedia since last summer. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 16:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • There's also the question of team Presidents. Sometimes they are the same, sometimes not. During Bill Wrigley, Jr.'s ownership of the Cubs (which is not on Tecmo's list, as he only starts with the son, Phil) the President was Bill Veeck, Sr. But under Phil and his son Bill III, Phil and then Bill were the President. But once the Trib bought the team, they've had a succession of corporate-suit "Presidents". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 16:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

He has published 2 solo albums - sure, no big record deal but all tracks self written, recorded and published by the artist and GEMA (germany) and BUMA STEMRA (holland) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.198.184.60 (talk • contribs)

WP:MUSIC is most relevant, though WP:N is also a concern. You're mistaking a 'good' musician, who writes and plays his own music, with a 'notable' one, who has received, large amounts of coverage in some sort of press venue. Touring and producing albums isn't notable, lots of people do so. There needs to be some evidence that he's received attention beyond the crowds he's played for.

• Keep. Seems to pass WP:MUSIC per the 4 full-length albums on the Aquarius Records label, a seemingly rather important indie label. Mangojuice^talk 18:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• • I looked for him on Aquarius and I couldn't find him in the Store or the links pages. Am I looking on the wrong website, or the wrong section? Kelly states that all of them are published by Aquarius Music, which does not seem to have a wikipedia page. If I'm reading his page for the albums correctly [8] [9] [10] [11], Aquarius music has produced four CDs - his (admittedly speculation). This looks like self-publication to me, not attention and publication from a label. His CDs appear to be on sale through CDbaby, which doesn't seem to be a label, it's an on-line store.

• Keep It would be easy to source this, given that there have been several encyclopedias written about television programs, such as Tim Brooks and Earl Marsh's Encyclopedia of Prime Time programming (or maybe he wrote "Total Television", which also describes the shows in alphabetical order). This one could use some trimming since the last time I saw it ("Fred Sanford's deceased wife, Elizabeth", e.g.-- trying to get that picture out of my mind). But the unseen character is "seen" (in the viewer's imagination) less often than a regular, yet more often than a recurring character.

  • Keep - I looked at the IceHockey WikiProject and they've been trying to determine this very consensus. They've been going along the lines of the baseball wikiproject's standard which is "Have served as a Major League Baseball umpire on a regular league staff and have worked in at least one postseason or All-Star Game; umpires of the 19th century must have worked in at least 200 games. Minor league umpires are considered notable only if they have been elected to a league hall of fame or earned a similarly extraordinary honor, or if they have accomplished some historic achievement." If we translate this to hockey, Gauthier easily exceeds these requirements having done more than 2000 games (considering the hockey season is half of the baseball season, that's more than 20 seasons as an NHL ref) and the 6 Stanley Cup finals. matt91486 (talk) 19:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

This is just one of many similar lists masquerading as dab pages created recently by the same editor. The matter was fully explored at Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation#Acronyms_that_can_refer_to_names_of_schools but the editor pressed on regardless. It's a pointless list of schools that are linked only by their initials, which no-one would ever search for and probably never stumble across but which will appear in search engines and create confusion. One such page may be over-enthusiasm by the editor but creating so many after a full debate is verging on vandalism. andy (talk) 11:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep I don't see the problem. We have dab pages for mhs, whs etc and these would be clogged by the addition of a long list of high schools so it seems reasonable imho to hive them off to separate linked pages as has been done. As to whether readers would input the initials; why wouldn't they? if they had heard mention of (eg) rhs and wondered what it might mean, then surely we want them to type it into wp don't we? That's what wp is for. Abtract (talk) 13:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete all (do not merge into the TLA page.) Block user for disruption. Suggest removing high school redirects from the TLA page, as well, as, if all high schools are notable, then even those which don't presently have an article should be listed under Wikipedia guidelines, making these pages inherantly unworkable. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 14:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Comment. Taking MHS as an example, all the high schools listed have wp articles and therefor must be presumed to be notable ... it is a pretty fair guess that these schools are often known as "MHS" ... what else are dab pages for? I have no axe to grind here but it seems to me that more is preferred to less. Abtract (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• • • Delay action until consensus is reached at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Acronyms that can refer to names of schools. The assertion that User:RightGot acted after consensus had been reached is inaccurate, as there is no current consensus in that discussion; and a Block for disruption would therefore be without merit. Nominating these pages this early into a discussion borders on bad faith. -- RoninBK _{T C} 16:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. This is escalating - see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#RightGot. But check out what a disambiguation page is actually supposed to be: Wikipedia:DAB#Set_index_articles. "A disambiguation page has links to a heterogeneous set of concepts". That doesn't describe these silly pages. They're not lists of conceptually different articles that might be confused, nor on the other hand are they lists of related items. If these articles were called something like "List of schools with the initials GHS" it would be easy to see how ridiculous they are. We don't have "List of foods whose name begins with A", do we? Why not? andy (talk) 17:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm keeping an eye on the WP:ANI situation too, it seems that everybody needs some Vitamin WP:CHILL.... I'm all for letting the ANI process unfold as far as RightGot's fate. It still seems to me though that there is still some considerable debate regarding how to handle the school acronym situation. I do not however think that AfD is the proper forum to handle this debate. Once a consensus is reached on how to handle school acronyms, then we can decide if these pages should stand. -- RoninBK _{T C} 18:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep This [12] is MHS before User:RightGot's edits. I think we can all agree that the current incarnation [13] is a better solutions. Simply dropping the TLA's for the schools is problematic because the schools is sometimes referred to by their initials. Taemyr (talk) 17:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• I agree with RoninBK, that the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Acronyms that can refer to names of schools has yet to reach any consensus one way or the other, and the discussion Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#RightGot smacks a bit of forum shopping to me. If it is inevitable that high schools will be listed on these dab pages (and I do think it is inevitable, regardless of warnings or patrolling), then I do like the current MHS. This is similar to name dab pages with "nested" Name (surname) and Name (given name) pages (like Shepard, to pull one out of the blue that I was on just today). I would encourage everybody to tone down the conflict and try to develop a solid consensus. This seems like an important thing to get right - and forum shopping and AfDs (and the inevitable deletion reviews that will follow) don't seem like the best way to figure out a long term solution.

  It was not intended as forum shopping, but as an honest question of whether this (clearly disruptive) editor has surfaced before and was blocked before. I had no intent of linking the sets of vandalism edits incompatible with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but treating each set as a separate issue. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 18:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Debate policies, not personalities. Regardless of the editor's motives, the question at issue is whether or not these acronyms should be spun out to separate dab pages. Leave the rest to the ANI discussion. -- RoninBK _{T C} 18:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment OK, so why not have AAA (high schools), AAB (high schools), AAC (high schools)... all 17,576 possible commbinations? And then there there's the four letter acronyms. Because this isn't a legitimate disambiguation - there's no underlying ambiguity. No-one is going to confuse Muscatine High School, Iowa with Malacca High School, Malacca, Malaysia, and no-one is going to thank WP if they google MHS and end up on a page full of school names. andy (talk) 18:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Two responses. First, we are only going to have this problem with TCAs ending with HS (maybe one or two other combinations but certainly not them all). Second, the point of dab pages is for readers who are not quite sure what article they want ... of course no-one would confuse Muscatine High School, Iowa with Malacca High School, Malacca, Malaysia ... but no more would they confuse Message Handling System with Michigan Humane Society ... but they may have the initials MHS in their mind and have a vague idea that it is in Michigan, or Muscatine, or Malaysia etc. That is why we have dab pages for TCA's and I see no reason why schools should be excluded. And if the school bit get big enough then spring it off onto a separate page. Abtract (talk) 19:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - I think it makes sense to have one of these for many of the 3-letter acronyms ending in HS for high schools.--Appraiser (talk) 02:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep We have lists of TLAs for all sorts of other entities, and high schools are a common use of such TLAs separate and apart from other such acronyms. Alansohn (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. There's no evidence that any of these schools are actually known by these particular TLAs. They've been chosen simply because they might be. Take the time to look at some of the articles before voting. Malacca High School is actually known as TMK. Mainland High School might be known to a few people as MHS but it's far more likely to be called ASI, ACMT, ADMT, SSA or SRA. Manalapan High School in New Jersey seems to refer to itself as MNHS according to the school website. And so on. These lists aren't just pointless, they're misleading. andy (talk) 10:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • note actually if you look at Malacca High School it uses TMK and MHS in the article. Abtract (talk) 11:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

So we need a dab page for TMK high schools as well - the only TMK entry in WP is for the Soviet space programme, completely missing the Malacca school and also Turk Maarif Koleji in Cyprus. Why stop at TLAs ending in HS - there are only 26 of them after all? andy (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

What's your point? If you think a dab page for TMK is needed, then go ahead. We all know wp has a long way to go before it even approaches completeness but that is not reason to remove perfectly good dab material. As I said above, a better question than "should we disambiguate high schools?" is "should we separate out very large sections into separate dab pages or leave them with the main page?". Personally I think common sense says we should separate when it improves navigation. Abtract (talk) 12:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Under the circumstances, Abtract makes a good point for removing the links to high school acronyms until verified. That would solve the page size problem, as these pages would not be as grossly populated. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Difficulty level

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

Your first reaction to this AFD may be "Hey! Difficulty level, that's a notable term; it should be kept." But I'd like to ask yourself to slow down and actually have a look at the article. Now, think about it: exactly how informative could this article possibly be?

Let's break it down.

First, we have the lead. Which gives us an obvious description to an obvious term. "In general usage, difficulty level refers to the relative difficulty of completing a task or objective." Duh. Does anyone really need to have that spelt out for them to understand?

The rest of the article crumbles into a slew of examples about how "such-and-such games has such-and-such difficulty options", "playing on this difficulty in this game changes this aspect" and so forth. Try this experiment: read the article while ignoring every example. Not much real content is there? What the article boils down to is this: glorified cruft. No matter how many examples get added, there will always be more to thrown in, since every game handles difficulty differently. Wikipedia is not a game guide, we shouldn't be spelling out every way difficulty can be changed in a game.

I rest my case. SeizureDog (talk) 11:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep, what you said is somewhat true but I suppose people who don't play computer games might not know this stuff. If the history section was made the focal point of the article rather then a tiny little section it could be quite alright.--Him and a dog 12:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Josquius. The article as is needs serious help, and although the encyclopedic version might turn out to be not much more than a stub, I think it's important to have. JuJube (talk) 13:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep The concept is much wider than computer gaming and the article currently says nothing about the way it works in piano teaching, skiing, climbing, puzzles, etc. Since there is much scope for improvement, deletion is not appropriate. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Expanding it to include other concepts would just make the article that much more rediculous. It would be tantamount to a Difficulty article that just listed how things are made more difficult.--SeizureDog (talk) 15:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I think there's potential for a useful article on the _quantification_ of "difficulty" - as well as video games, mountaineering and diving come immediately to mind, and I'm sure there are other examples. Tevildo (talk) 02:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and expand per Colonel Warden. As a minimum, some reference to "degree of difficulty" (as in diving) seems appropriate. Tevildo (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep but I would consider taking it the other way, renaming to something like Difficulty level (computer game), and focusing on the level design aspect of it -- RoninBK _{T C} 16:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

This topic is mentioned in exactly one book, and makes no sense.

[edit] Estée Lauder pleasures

Estée Lauder pleasures (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Sources can't be found which afford this product encyclopaedic notability inline with WP:V, WP:N, WP:RS. Also goes against WP:NOT#ADVERTISING Russavia (talk) 06:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Google News Archieves has over 300 sources listed for this line so it is both verifiable and notable. [16]. Capitalistroadster (talk) 06:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Having looked thru Google News (before putting this up for Afd), I noticed that many of the results are press releases, so they can't be used as a basis for WP:N. Many other sources don't write extensively on the product in an encyclopaedic fashion, and many others mention Pleasures but in the context of the overall Estee Lauder product line/profits/etc. And then there are some which are about Pleasures, but other products such as Pleasures Delight, Pleasures Exotic, etc. And then some are about Gwyneth Paltrow being the face of the product; this may be suitable for a mention in her article but as notability isn't inherited, it can't be used to give this product notability. --Russavia (talk) 20:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment As it should not be hard to form good articles about these perfumes, then perhaps you can do so. I own and operate a fragrance business, and have access to books and other resources such as this, this, this, etc, etc and many books on the history of fragrances, and very very few fragrances would qualify for an article on WP due to very little verifiable, non-advertising, non point of view information from reliable sources which could be used to build a comprehensive article. I even considered some time ago building up the fragrances category on WP, but decided not to for the exact same reasons above. You say that notability is inherited, I say notability is not inherited. The advert, spammy, trivial look of these articles, and the fact there are very few articles on individual perfumes, is evidence enough that these articles are squarely against WP policies, and hence should be deleted. --Russavia (talk) 05:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Copyvio/Comment I have removed from this article copyvio which has been lifted off another website. Pricing information removed due to WP:NOT#ADVERTISING. The 'reference' does not exist and is a commercial website so have removed that as a potential spam link under WP:EL. Having a celebrity endorsement is not reason enough for an encyclopaedia entry. --Russavia (talk) 06:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greenwood cricket club

Greenwood cricket club (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

Prod was contested about 5 weeks ago. Concerns over notability: I find a few (34) ghits, but only in personal webpages, sports listings and community guides for Perth, and so on, and nothing in Google News. The city of Wanneroo (in which league they play) has a population of 110,000, and the town of Joondalup, Western Australia (in which they are based) has a population of 7000, so not making this a major sports association. No major sporting awards or other stories to establish significance. — BillC ^talk 06:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

(For the record Wanneroo-Joondalup is a fairly big area with about 300,000, but it's not even close to highest grade of the sport, so that much is irrelevant).

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

insufficient/hopelessly unclear notability - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. The article is still in its infancy and not great but the justifcation presented here for deletion is specifically notability. The number of relevant hits that you get from google (using search strings "Robert Abbinanti" "boxer") suggests he is notable. Ros0709 (talk) 17:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Top links are obscure in notability at best. MY name appears alot if you search right, and I'm not notable at all. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Evaluating links: http://www.ipsn.org/damico.html: brief mention as local mob member and former amateur boxer. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Evaluating links: http://www.goupstate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=NEWS&template=wiki&text=List_of_male_boxers: seems to be a mirror of List_of_male_boxers. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

      • Comment on comment. Name/Occupation is hardly gaming Google. I'm all for deleting bios of people no-one's ever heard of and particularly those which are vanity pages but it looks like this name is all over the internet. And indeed, the lack of information at those links that you highlight means people are more likely to come to WP to slate their curiosity - let's give them the information. Ros0709 (talk) 18:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Reply: And yet, there seems to be little to NO information on his notability... - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 20:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - his career as an amateur boxer does not appear to have attracted sufficient notice to generate any coverage. His other activities are hinted at, but there is no coverage actually about him. Possibly a minor mob figure. But essentially, there are no reliable sources upon which to build an article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Article professes to be about an amateur boxer, thus failing WP:BIO on inherent notability, and presents no reliable sources for his notability, thus failing the primary notability criterion. He's got a page on the boxing wiki, edit that one. --Dhartung | Talk 06:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: That the article might still be in its infancy is one thing, but I'm curious as to how all the time in the world will conflate a local amateur boxer into some measure of notability. Beyond that, the paragraph on the subject's alleged mob ties is vaguely written and almost entirely unconnected with him, and WP:BLP demands a great deal more than a single link mentioning the subject's name in a twelve-year old appeals decision (concerning someone else, as to that) before declaring him a Mafioso. What elements of WP:BIO do any proponents of the article claim this fellow meets?  RGTraynor  07:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jill King

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

This article a couple of claims to notability, but I don't think that it's quite enough. Claims that her art is in the Brookfield Zoo and Encyclopedia Britannica are unsourced and appear unverifiable. Only reference is to a redlink and appears primary. A search for reliable sources turned up none.

(Note: This AfD is not biased in any way by the fact that I have just created Jill King (singer), a page on an unrelated country music artist. However, should this page be deleted, I would appreciate if the content from Jill King (singer) were moved here, to conform with naming conventions.) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. Even if the unsupported claims do turn out to be true, still seems to be on the wrong side of the bar of notability. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment So far, all the reviews listed here check out. Artemis-Arethusa, who created the article, has a good understanding of the Chicago art scene, but unfortunately xe hasn't edited since October, so I'm not sure if xe'll see this discussion. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do to clean up the article. Zagalejo^^^ 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Eh, never mind. I'm not sure how much I can do with this article. The reviews generally don't give me much to work with, and it seems her best-known work is just a mural in a suburban theater. Zagalejo^^^ 19:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep if refs can be found. Both the artist and the singer of the same name seem to have borderline notability. The artist seems to have had several exhibits. A few decent references should be enough here. The details of exhibitions, etc. listed on her website appear to be true.--Michig (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• User:Zagalejo already tried to expand the article and admitted that the refs found weren't enough. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
