[edit] Tamanend Middle School
Article is full of patent nonsense and reads like a hoax. I looked through almost all of the versions and there never has been a real, bona fide, Wiki-style article. The school is a real school and appears in a list as part of this school district. No sources, no encyclopedic information, mostly jr. high level OR. Renee (talk) 03:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete because it is non-notable and fails all criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (schools). Mysdaao talk 20:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect to Central Bucks School District as is the norm for most middle schools. --Dhartung | Talk 00:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
This article in a primary source itself becuase it has been created by students of Tamanend Middle School. I can ensure you these facts are entirely true and appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realdog44 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, but that doesn't hold water. An article cannot establish its own notability; reliable third-party sources are needed. Even if this article is notable, it would have to be heavily edited to remove the unencyclopaedic nonsense. -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per above. -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. The fact that someone has removed the AfD tag from this article (since reinstated by
meMsdaao(sp?)) to my mind doesn't augur well for it; if it's so notable, why is it necessary to (attempt to) suppress the deletion debate? -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC) (edited because of edit collision)
- Redirect to Central Bucks School District. As Dhartung notes, middle schools are not inherently notable unless they have some special distinction, e.g., designated as a Blue Ribbon school per other middle school AFDs recently. Not only does this article fail to assert any notability, its only purpose seems to be a WP:SOAPBOX. JGHowes talk - 03:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge to Central Bucks School District unless some verifiable sources can be found to establish notability (Best I could get out of Google News was that the school was mentioned as receiving funding for renovations. Additional Comment - I have removed the patent nonsense from the article - and flagged the not so patent nonsense as requiring citations, in the slim case that the article is sufficiently improved to establish notability prior to close of debate -- Ratarsed (talk) 12:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Caravanim
WP:OR, WP:DICT, Israeli neologism. The word does not have a specific notable definition and is merely the common Hebrew term used in Israel for a wide variety of structures ranging from trailers and mobilehomes. Some other pre-fab buildings might be labled using the root 'caravan', though they aren't trailers. The article itself is OR and also has false claims. The 'references' are merely from poorly written Israeli sources. Shuki (talk) 23:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Israel-related deletion discussions. —Shuki (talk) 23:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- I do not mind if you delete this article. I would just like to know where I could include a mention of the Israeli use of trailers for classrooms, synagogues and community centers, which seems noteworthy to me. Should I include it under Mobile home, which already has a subsection on caravillas? Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 08:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep This google search reveals 65 hits: here Some of the web sites are in Hebrew and inaccessible to non-Jews like me but one web site confirms it is a trailer. The article has 2 reasonable references and 2 useful photos. If Israeli settlers use it, surely it merits a place on Wikipedia. It may have significant political influences too in the West Bank. This English Haaretz article talks about Israeli government restrictions on the use of this trailer in the West Bank: [1] Artene50 (talk) 08:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- comment to two previous edits: It's not noteworthy at all. It's a pre-fab or mobile structure. There's absolutely nothing special, unique, or distinct to mention. It's not a brand-name or a patented design either. Trailers are mentioned at 'Israeli settlement', maybe that could be expanded to explain why pre-fab homes are installed instead of bricks and mortar. Perhaps add something referenced at Prefabricated home, but otherwise, there is nothing spectacular at mentioning how pre-fab is used. --Shuki (talk) 22:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- "Provisional" keep As it stands, the article isn't warranted, since it basically describes Nitzan. However, I believe the topic has a potential for notability. For example, much can be said about the Caravanim sites set up during the 1990s to accommodate Olim from the former Soviet Union and from Ethiopia. I also recall reading about a book about a connection between construction methods in the Israeli settlements and the way the army operates there. -- Nudve (talk) 04:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Move to Caravilla for now, the subject is somewhat notable. However, if no one can write about anything other than Nitzan in the article, it should be merged into mobile home (essentially, what Nudve said). -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Move to Mobile home. There are lots of pre-fab buildings inthe world. Also, unlike Quonset hut this is not a specific type of building, it is merely a collective Hebrew term for pre-fab buildings. Elan26 (talk) 17:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Elan26

[edit] Dave Breen
unnotable Jackal4 (talk) 22:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Undecided about notability, but so far this fails WP:V. Possible hoax. Pburka (talk) 22:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Baseball-related deletion discussions. —• Gene93k (talk) 23:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:V. Tragic but unverifiable bio of a AA-level minor league baseball player. I could not find sources to verify any of it. • Gene93k (talk) 23:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, borderline speedy. I came up empty for anything. Even TheDeadballEra has nothing. Considering closing and deleting this already. Wizardman 23:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as probable hoax. No record of him as a MiLB player at www.baseball-reference.com or baseball cube; gnews doesn't come up with this person, nor does a gsearch.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax - According to the Trenton Thunder article we have, the club was not a Yankees affiliate in 1991-92. Add the lack of sources and it smells like a hoax. Giants2008 (talk) 02:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as hoax Why do people do this??? If a minor league player died in the 1990's, I would likely have been aware of it, as I am a sabermetrician who has studied minor league baseball since the early 1980's. However, I have never heard of Dave Breen. Also, minor league players are not generally given nicknames like "The M.V.P.". The Yankees 15th Round pick in 1991 was Steven Munda, not Dave Breen. And yes, as Giants2008 says, the Yankees AA affiliate was Albany-Colonie, not Trenton. The author of the article has made no other Wikipedia contributions. Eauhomme (talk) 08:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremy Moulton
Procedural nomination. The article had been redirected to Southampton; other than that being the city where Mr Moulton is from, there seems no sensible reason for this. He is not even mentioned in the Southampton article! If the person is believed to be non-notable, then this should be discussed by the community. RFBailey (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, well below WP:POLITICIAN. Local councillors are rarely notable. --Dhartung | Talk 00:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
KeepWeak Keep - The subject of article appears to be notable. He is referenced by reliable third party sources.See[2], :[3]and
- [4]. I don't see a problem with WP:V or WP:NOTABLE.
I don't see why this is at AfD and I do not understand a procedural nomination?!Nk.sheridan Talk 00:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC) - Comment Changed my opinion to weak keep after reading WP:POLITICIAN. Nk.sheridan Talk 23:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as failing WP:BIO in the absence of significant press coverage. I'm not finding any with Google or Google News. Deor (talk) 01:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Borderline delete - This guy seems like he's right at the brink of notability. One or two more sources (which I can't find) would put him over the top. However, at the moment, I believe he does not meet WP:BIO. TN‑X-Man 04:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- WP:BIO requires sigificant coverage. Therefore, one or two more sources will never decide the notability of a person. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. No significant coverage. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Google News Archive and NewsUK between them turn up three articles quoting him, but none saying anything about him. Not clearly more notable than any other UK councillor. EALacey (talk) 15:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete not notable, after reading the deletion guidelines I noted that a redirect is favoured over a deletion (because the information is kept and can be used should notability increase) but if there is a choice then I would rather have the article deleted as this councillor has done nothing of note yet.

[edit] Brand New Girlfriend
No need to disambiguate between the album and the song since they're interconnected. Pointless dab. Suggest deleting this and moving the album to the Brand New Girlfriend designation Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Your proposal is a bit unclear. But in any case, if Brand New Girlfriend is going to stay, or even stay as a redirect, this is the wrong place for the discussion.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boychick
Wikipedia is not a dictionary; this article is basically just a definition and etymology of the word "boychick". Some individual words have articles about them, such as Orange (word), but there's nothing notable to say about the word "boychick". AJD (talk) 22:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Permanent dicdef. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:DICT. Searched Google Books and Google Scholar and couldn't find anything except passing uses and dictionary definitions, so I presume it's not notable as a sociological phenomena or whatever. Ryan Paddy (talk) 22:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Transwiki to Wiktionary, which has an inadequate boychik entry. --Dhartung | Talk 04:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Undelete I have reviewed the wiki standards and cleaned up this article to more than just a definition. In fact nobody seems to have a problem with boyo which is much much less an article. Boychick also has social noteriety. Agent204.15 (talk) 13:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Boyo is a disambiguation page; it's not supposed to have content. And boychick still looks like just a definition to me. AJD (talk) 14:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, then explain why the article shenanigan which is another disambiguation term, is not being proposed for deletion?204.15.6.99 (talk) 17:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- Comment Boyo is a place, and shenanigan refers to a notable TV show, album, etc. That's why they have pages. If boychick or boychik was the title of a notable book or something, it would have an article too. But it shouldn't have an article just for a definition. Ryan Paddy (talk) 22:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- That's my point! Boychick is a culutural thing, not just a definition. I would have included another link but wiki has black listed it for some reason. It showed all kinds obects with the word boychick printed on them. Not only that, the term boychick is included on many movies , books, plays...ect.204.15.6.99 (talk) 22:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- You need to find at least one reliable source that states that boychick/boychik is a cultural phenomenon and gives it significant coverage. See the notability guideline for details of the kind of evidence you need. You can't demonstrate notability of the concept by pointing out usage of the term because that is considered original research. You have to provide evidence that reliable sources that have described it as a phenomenon, and not just as a term. Ryan Paddy (talk) 04:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Alternatively, if there is a specific book or something that has "boychick" in the title, and that book meets wikipedia's criteria for an article, then that book could have an article. But that article would have a different title to this (unless the title of the book is just "Boychick"), and doesn't affect the decision on whether to delete this article.

[edit] It Takes A Nation
This song was not released as a proper single. It was leaked to the Internet and shouln't be considered as a single, thus, should not have an article in Wikipedia, considering it's not notable since it won't peak in any music charts. Tasc0 It's a zero! 21:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Delete both Neither were charting singles and haven't been covered in any reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Fails WP:WEB. Only sources are either self-published or trivial blog mentions. Spellcast (talk) 18:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Keep To quote BZisook, "They are one of the TOP 10 most visited Hip-Hop oriented sites on the net. Their reviews get published in the Google News feed too." I'd say that's notable. Also, everyone seems to have forgotten Wikipedia is not paper. Tom Danson (talk) 22:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Notability is different from "popularity". Google news only returns results from the DJBooth site itself. Per WP:WEB, there needs to be reliable sources that discusses the site in detail.

- Weak delete - I can't find any reliable third party sources which refer to this site. The only reference, that is not a blog, which I found is at a rappers news site.

- Comment I'm doubtful whether the first two are reliable sources, and they're definitely not significant discussions of DJBooth.net. They are short articles about artists, mentioning DJBooth.net.

- Comment - A category is for a collection of articles; since none of these markets has, or is likely to have, an article how is a category appropriate? TerriersFan (talk) 21:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - This evening, the wikilinks for several markets have replaced those of the town associated with them. Additionally, if there is not an article for a Farmer's Market, the sub-section in the associated village/town article to its Farmer's market should the category piped to the particular sub-section. --Stewart (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Comment - well, the diff for today's edits is here and I'm not spotting the extra links. In any case the article sorts the markets by regions and references each one - added value to a category. TerriersFan (talk) 22:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
KeepWeak Keep - Can't see that being incomplete is a reason for deletion. Wikipedia is not complete either! All the farmers markets are notable (coverage in local papers for a start). Nk.sheridan Talk 21:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)- Strong keep Objective, referenced, farmers markets don't move around much, so I can't imagine it will ever go out of date, even if it isn't complete at the moment, though it will be at some stage, as their are a finite amount of them.--Serviam (talk) 22:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just took a quick look at the references for these, and the first two are broken (I have a feeling the Ipswich one is no longer on that schedule, either) - scanning down the others, I notice a lot refer to the Big Barn website, which I also know is not always as up to date as it could be (or verifiable, as they don't cope if a market goes away, or any other other their points of interest go bust). If this list really was complete (and given that there's no assertion of any level of notability) then this would grow to be too large to be usable -- pretty much every market town now also has a farmers' market, in addition to most farm shops -- off the top of my head, I can think of at least four in a ten mile radius of myself, and that is only including those I've been to. -- if extrapolated, that's quite some directory we're building. -- Ratarsed (talk) 07:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a directory, not a list. See WP:NOT#DIR. There is no information provided about the markets to indicate their notability. The fact that hours are listed is a dead giveaway that it's a directory. And with the hours removed, there would be little of value left in the article. Pburka (talk) 23:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - It does look like a directory after reading WP:NOT#DIR. If all of the farmers' markets are notable. As I'm sure the majority are (third party coverage in local papers, websites which list such markets, etc.). I'd say then that they could each have their own article and be included in a category of farmers' markets in the UK Nk.sheridan Talk 23:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Jed keenan (talk) 00:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Obviously a directory, and of nonnotable topics too. I can't imagine that average individual markets would be notable: they're verifiable, but likely to be only passing notes about them, not the kind of sourcing that we require for notability. If this were considered notable, we likely could have a "List of churches in the United Kingdom" or "List of chemists [or whatever they call them; my American mind can't remember the equivalent term to drugstore] in the United Kingdom", because all would likely be verifiable in similar ways. One question, though: anyone have an idea what Jed's comment means? Nyttend (talk) 02:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm trying to think of what a notable farmer's market would be and thus how many might be on a list without it just being a directory of external links. I suppose the oldest one and the largest one and such could be on there, but what else makes a farmer's market really notable except as a local attraction? No path to a list of notable farmer's markets. --Dhartung | Talk 04:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- A Comparative Analysis of The Effectiveness of Three Solvency Management Models (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
It is an essay/original research by a user's own assertion [5], which is also a clear conflict of interest. Completely and unsalvageably unencylopedic. Disputed prod. Cquan (after the beep...) 20:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and merge to solvency. I have taken the liberty of removing the worst of the original research, leaving a decent summary of current literature. It would be helpful for the solvency page to have information on current metrics of solvency. Parts of this might also be able to be merged to working capital management. Mangostar (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and merge to solvency. The article is a good one and all areas of conflict have been removed. I believe it is encyclopedic now. It is also recommended for merger with Bankruptcy and working capital management. bertrands 13:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enyi2001 (talk • contribs)
- Change Article's Title to Metrics of Solvency to reflect the merger with solvency. The article is based on a new idea on solvency measurement and is considered a great contribution to knowledge in the field of financial economics. Bertrands 14:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enyi2001 (talk • contribs)
- Comment I appreciate the first two comments. They have been really helpful. I hope the changes made now reflect their aspirations. I particularly thank Mangostar for his cleanup exercise and his well thoughtout suggestions.--[[Bertrands]] 18:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enyi2001 (talk • contribs)
- Merge to solvency. With the original research removed, this seems to be a useful review of different ways solvency has been measured. EALacey (talk) 20:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and merge to solvency or change title to Metrics of Solvency. The contents of the article are remarkable and highly inspiring. An intellectual breakthrough no doubt. --82.206.131.189 (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. I would like to know how much of the article is still a blatant copy of [6], the original thesis by, I'm assuming, User:Enyi2001. Speaking of which, comments from Mangostar and EALacey aside, everything else is awfully suspicious (Enyi2001 signing as user Bertrands, which doesn't exist and the latest comment from 82.206.131.189, with no other contributions and an IP address from Enyi's university). Besides that, Wikipedia is not a literature review nor a place to promote/introduce new ideas/theories that have yet to gain general acceptance. Simply being useful and interesting should not be reasons for inclusion. This is an encyclopedia, not a textbook or journal. I'm sure some portions are notable and/or worth merging to other articles, but certainly not the section about the author's own work. Cquan (after the beep...) 19:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I appreciate the comment of the last editor, however, it seems that he is trying to suggest that wikipedia as an encyclopedia does not welcome new knowledge. If that supposition is true then where is the encyclopedic quality? Besides, the theory is not new as it has already gained wide publicity in some journals and a book of reading of which references were included. I am not averse to the merging of any part or portion to any existing article as proposed but what is wrong about the author's own work? Please educate me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enyi2001 (talk • contribs) 10:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Officequest currently involves at least five persons of general interest: actors listed on IMDB are:
Erica Williams, Leslie Fish, Rob Douglas, Amy Searcy, Seth Gandrud
Additionally, Leslie Fish is a world fameous Filk singer featured on wikipedia.
Officequest has been in production for some time and is relatively well know in the Phoenix area.
Production has been slowed due to funding issues and reshoots, but is indeed in production and filming is ongoing.

- Delete Basically the comments above have damned the article to deletion IMO. It seems that the creator of the article is linked to the project. Wikipedia is not for self-promotion.

Non-notable series of books, external links go to personal/vanity websites. TN‑X-Man 19:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - After further research, it appears that the first book in the trilogy did win an award. However, reading WP:BK, I'm not sure how that applies to the rest of the trilogy. Any assistance is appreciated. TN‑X-Man 19:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Major award. If the first book of a trilogy (publ. in 2006) wins an award, it is common sense to conclude that the entire group (publ. in 2007 & 2008 respectively ) is notable. If they should happen to win individual awards, one could even justify three articles, though I'm not suggesting that. Considering the author has won previous prizes, and that the award was included in the first paragraph of even the original version when the afd was placed, along with a mention of a significant review, all we need to do is to check that the obvious COI does not excessively influence the article (at present, it seems to need some cutting & revision of language) . There should be no problem finding additional reviews, which of course should be added. DGG (talk) 20:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. I'm not exactly sure what makes a restaurant chain notable or encyclopedic in the first place, but I see no reason why Cookout should be excluded from the likes of Ruth's Chris Steak House or Taco Bell. Furthermore, I'm not sure what you expected to happen your search includes the common name for one of the most ubiquitous summer pastimes--jackass.--Apotheosis247 (talk) 01:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The restaurant is popular all over North Carolina. Ask any college student in Raleigh, and they'll give you tons of reasons why cookout is notable. There is absolutely no conceivable reason as to why this article should be deleted. TWW 4 lyfe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.135.17 (talk) 02:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Conditional weak keep, not for the ridiculous reasons given by the IP above, but because some of the sources Pburka notes: some of them seem to be about the chain. I'm not about to pay for access to those articles, so my "keep" is conditional upon someone being able to get the sources and demonstrate notability for this chain. Until/unless we have someone with access to those pages, the article isn't verifiable, and therefore definitely isn't notable. Nyttend (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I apologize for that. I just don't see any reason why it should be deleted - it is an institution all over North Carolina. Granted, it is a regional chain (few outside of NC have ever even heard of the establishment) and receives little commercial exposure on the Internet (they don't even have a website) - but this hardly merits its deletion.65.190.135.17 (talk) 02:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Santa Teresa (fictional city)
non notable fictional city, pure trivia SuperSuperBoi (talk) 11:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This fictional location is the setting for most of Sue Grafton's best-selling "Alphabet" mysteries, has appeared in other works of fiction, has received substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources with articles focused on "Santa Teresa" as a fictional location (some of which are already cited in this article!), and this article can be significantly expanded from both primary and secondary sources. - Dravecky (talk) 11:55, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep I concur with Dravecky. The fact that a large number of Sue Grafton's works involve the location is more than sufficient to establish notability. The fact that it has been used by multiple, successful, authors makes it significantly more so. Debate (talk) 12:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Used by multiple authors, setting of best selling series. AlbinoFerret (talk) 12:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per Dravecky. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per what Dravecky said. It seems to assert notability if its the setting of best-selling books. --JamieS93 14:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak delete as I am concerned about the element of synthesis of sources for potentially loosely-connected topics. Is this the "same" Santa Teresa in both detective series? (In the same way that Gotham City is the same when Superman visits it, or Metropolis for Batman?) Or are they merely two different cities with the same name? Is there a reliable source which describes them as the same, or one as a deliberate homage to the other? Otherwise I'm afraid I'm unconvinced by the similarity. --Dhartung | Talk 05:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bulldogs off-field indiscretions
Almost all the incidents listed are reasonably minor, with the exception of the 2004 gang rape allegations, which of course received massive media coverage and already have their own article. A couple of them might warrant a mention in Canterbury Bulldogs History, in the context of a discussion of occasional accusations of poor behaviour by Bulldogs players, but I don't see that there's a need for a separate article collating barely a dozen incidents over a decade.

- Keep While I personally think the whole thing is massively over-played by the media, the issue remains an ongoing theme in Australian newspapers and football coverage because it is alleged that there is a pattern of behaviour, not simply one incident. The material is too detailed to sit comfortably within the main team article and therefore is best left in this one for those genuinely interested in the gory details. Debate (talk) 13:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Rename I have no opinion on keep or delete, but if it is kept it needs to be renamed to Canterbury Bulldogs off-field indiscretions as the Western Bulldogs, South Fremantle Bulldogs and the four legged canine varieties of bulldogs shouldn't be tarred with the same brush.

- Comment no problem with move/delete/merge of the above article but I do take issue with the random renaming of the main and history article. The official title of the club is the Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club. It is a rugby league club, not a union club. Nor is the club the 'Canterbury Bulldogs', simply the Bulldogs. Canterbury was dropped from the name in 1997. •Florrie•leave a note• 07:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have reverted the main article to Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club. I was unable to revert the History page from Canterbury Bulldogs History so renamed it in line with the main article. It is now Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club history and, I think, I have managed the double-redirects. If you have any other naming concerns, please use a {{move}} template on the talk page of the article and discuss the matter there. The use of "Canterbury" in the team name is a sensitive issue (for and against) for many Bulldogs fans. Cheers. •Florrie•leave a note• 10:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The fact that he is mentioned on other chiropractics-related pages is an argument for notability per WP:CREATIVE bullet 1, not lack of notability, as it shows that his views aren't fringe theories but have some currency with his peers (ie people who are qualified to tell if he's a quack or not). Google books returns several references where he is not just the author, but cited by peers as well [12]. He also meets WP:CREATIVE bullet 2 as the inventor of the "Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique", which may be dubious [13], but nonetheless seems to be in reasonably wide use amongst chiropractors and is therefore noteworthy.

- Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. Vinh1313 (talk) 06:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Wiki PornBio..... "Big-breast pornography, also called big-boob or big-bust pornography features women with large breasts. Some viewers prefer performers with breast implants, others prefer women who have naturally large breasts."
I don't know how this would not cover her.... She was probably one of the most popular in Europe at a time, and made big in roads in the US... Msjayhawk (talk) 18:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Conditional keep. She's clearly notable in the genre, so it's hard to see how she could be deleted. That is, if it really turns out to be the case that sources can't be found, then I suppose a delete is the only way to go. But it seems obvious to me that her notability is not in question; it's just a matter that people haven't gotten around to putting reliable resources to that effect on her page. Xihr (talk) 20:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment on Msjayhawk. If you're claiming that she satisfies "Has made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, such as beginning a trend in pornography, or starring in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature.", please explain what makes her contributions unique to big bust pornography and if the contention can be cited to a reliable source. That is if she is "one of the most popular in Europe", there is a reliable source stating that rather than rely on personal knowledge as it could be seen as puffery. Vinh1313 (talk) 22:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- She has been in Score, Color Climax, Blue Climax, Rodox, Busen, etc.
Notable: "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following."
Pornographic actors
Has won or been a serious nominee for a well-known award, such as those listed in Category:Adult movie awards or Category:Film awards or from a major pornographic magazine, such as Penthouse, Playboy, or Playgirl, as well as their counterparts in other pornography genres. Has made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, such as beginning a trend in pornography, or starring in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature. Has been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media (of the genre).
Msjayhawk (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- Comment I ask again, what are the unique contributions she made to big bust pornography and are there reliable sources to verify them? Further, you are misconstruing the third criteria. There is no implied "of the genre". Notable mainstream media means notable non-pornographic media... like a television show or a movie. There are no reliable sources to verify either criteria because Dos Santos satisfies neither criteria. Vinh1313 (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

- CommentThere is a big discussion about WP:ATHLETE at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Adalberto_Hilário_Ferreira_Neto.
- The Brazilian Project has over 2,000 articles related to soccer players, the English Project over 6,000. Most these articles are stub with no information about players nobody hears about worse as English peasant points out that the WP:ATHLETE guideline was invented, it was not a product of careful debate.
- By creating the concept of retired athletes we could please both NFL, FA Cup, NBA and Copa do Brasil fans and still satisfy WP:BIO in the long term.
- WP:ATHLETE is a crazy, invented, STUB creating guideline that only serves to satisfy sports fans and is in full contradiction of WP:BIO.
- Don't believe me? Check [Category:Brazilian_footballers], most of the articles were created for new players, the articles are stubs, have no information only player transfers and the players are not notable per WP:BIO.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 17:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. Whatever the criteria for athletes are or should be, they should apply equally to active players and to those retired (to the extent doing so is meaningful). I don't think we need separate criteria for retired athletes to distinguish them from active athletes. If some editors want to make the criteria more restrictive, then that should be discussed at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep as to Santos himself, because apparently he played about 9 years in the J. League, Japan's highest professional soccer league. I doubt we would ever impose criteria so restrictive as to exclude someone who played 9 years in a country's top-level professional league. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- So what the guy played 9 years? No reliable sources have ever writtten something about that player, so under the WP:BIO criteria he has no notability. WP:ATHLETE is the only thing keeping this STUB article up, even though he is no longer an athlete.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 03:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- I find it implausible that "no reliable sources" have ever written about Santos. It seems more likely that such sources exist, but most of them are in Japanese and thus inaccessible to me, and that many of the non-Japanese sources are in Portuguese rather than English. I disagree with your implication that retired athletes cannot or should not qualify under WP:ATHLETE. The guideline refers to "[c]ompetitors and coaches who have competed in a high-level, fully professional league ...." The use of the words "have competed" includes both active and retired athletes. No reason has been given as to why we ought to impose a different standard for retired players compared to active players -- just that he is not an athlete anymore. But this encyclopedia is supposed to include historical information, not just a record of people who are active in their careers right now. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Still fails WP:MUSIC. Non-notable underground rapper. Last AFD was "speedy delete". Minor local coverage from "SF Weekly" and "Metroactive", not a reliable source -- Coasttocoast (talk) 04:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep as article creator. I defend my decision under criterion #1 of the WP:MUSIC page that states that the musician must have "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". SF Weekly and Metro Silicon Valley do qualify as reliable sources because they both contain extensive editorial overview boards and are not self-published. As far as the depth of coverage goes, Nickatina was given a full article about him on SF Weekly back in 2003, and there are also some published reviews in SF Weekly and Metro Silicon Valley about a few of his albums. I think those sources should be enough to qualify as "multiple" works. What makes those local publications un-reliable though? I provided links to the Nickatina sources to the user who "salted" the Nickatina titled, User:David Eppstein, and he unsalted in approval.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 04:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Redirect to RED Distribution. I don't think this label merit a standalone until sources exist to verify notability. WP:MUSIC identifies "one of the more important indie labels" as "an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable." This label is a year old and evidently has one notable band in its roster. The fact that the artist was already notable when it came to Heartland is a point in their favor in my book, and one of the reasons why I believe the redirect may be appropriate, as it is a plausible search term for that fact. But I don't think there's sufficient notability established for this label in the absence of other notable acts or widespread press. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

- Being "notable" within the series does not mean that it is really notable. The series notability is not inherited by its individual fictional elements. To pass WP:FICT, the specific element must have received significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. There is no such coverage for the topic of One Piece's "Devil Fruit." For the three you listed, notice they are all tagged for issues (and I added a notability tag to the HP and alien list ones). Jutsu, I believe, is slated for merging or to be overhauled in the on-going Naruto clean up. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Aside from reasons being repearedly stated, how shall the information be handeled should it be deleted. Will it be merged onto the One Piece main article? The topic in discusssion is kinda a part of the series as Force (Star Wars) is a part of Star Wars. Aren't separate pages required if the scope of a subject is too big for a single article? What is a reliable source that can be used for a fictional object? Does the other language pages count as notability? Is deletion the only solution? Why are Iron Man's armor, Shinigami (Death Note), and Zanpakutō not also up for deletion, they have no notability outside their series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.173.230 (talk) 05:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- Reply Certainly the Sun and Encyclopedia are reliable sources, but what the information they and IMDB give is basically trivial event data -- somebody acted here, this production was mounted here. There is no source that is, for example, a profile of the Carousel Theatre as an institution -- its founding, its history, its influence. At most there is the Jessie Award (which is sponsored by the Canada Council, so one award, not two). But this is an award explicitly for Vancouver theatre, rather a small pond to be the best children's theatre in for one year. --Dhartung | Talk 03:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- Comment - arguing that "there is no significance beyond the region" means that you need to delete every tin-pot little sporting team that appears on WP. And claiming awards that are only given in New York or London are notable is somewhat geographically arrogant. This theatre may be vastly better than anything in London or New York but we don't know, because it's not in London or New York?!? Is this the systemic bias in WP that we are trying to get rid of? Gillyweed (talk) 10:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- it has no relationship to quality. I've seen very good theater elsewhere, and rather poor theater in both. It has to do with the influence which they hold over the genre. DGG (talk) 16:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Reply You mention the influence that the theatre company has in its genre. Wikipedia recognizes children's theatre as its own genre, just as musical theatre, comedy and drama are genres. Carousel Theatre was recognized by the Canada Council (a national body) through their TYA Award as leader in the genre. This is a notable achievement.

It's a short story (when did oneshot become the standard way to describe short stories?) that only appears in the Wanted! collection.

[edit] Sunlight diet
non notable diet, no references, no assertion of notability, topic already comprehensively coverer ed at inedia, furthermore the article is largely biographical in nature about a single individual. the article makes ridiculous claims of this man being able to go without eating for hundreds of days at a time.

No sources, no notability, no content other than plot. dorftrottel (talk) 00:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Episode of a notable TV series; no reason not to include listings for each episode. See List of Star Trek episodes, List of Family Guy episodes, etc. Needs some cleanup and rewriting, but that's a content problem. Celarnor Talk to me 01:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- ?? Are we looking at the same page? Sine Qua Non (Battlestar Galactica) is not an episode list, it's a plot summary for that one episode. I'm not at all opposed to List of Battlestar Galactica (reimagined series) episodes. The problem with this article is not a content issue, it's a non-content issue. dorftrottel (talk) 01:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- (ec)Exactly. Perhaps I should have given you some other examples; I just wanted you to see that television episode articles are fairly regular practice. It's a plot summary of one episode, and that's exactly what consensus in practice represents with regards to this particular type of article. It needs some copyediting, wikification and an infobox, but the subject is perfectly encyclopedic, especially considering the five pillars. Celarnor Talk to me 01:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- There is nothing to clean up, really, except mainspace. dorftrottel (talk) 02:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep for now. I agree that the article is a mess, but - as noted - the episode just aired, and the article is in a state of flux. I would strongly recomment waiting a week or two before nominating the article for deletion - and even then, there is no reason whatsoever why this article would not redirect to the article for the series, season, or what-have-you.

[edit] Jean de Metz
Fails WP:N. Jean de Metz was a footnote to history whose name has come down to us only for one sub-notable reason: he escorted Joan of Arc for a few days on an uneventful journey. Jean de Metz (and Bertrand de Poulengy, also described on the page) were not noblemen, not knights, and their existence was not recorded in conjunction with anything else. The only source linked is personal website. DurovaCharge! 00:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. A cipher in some ways, but notable in that he has been given detailed attention by sources, and sometimes exaggerated depiction by fictional treatments of Joan of Arc. On the other hand, either he and Poulengy (and whomever else) get combined into an article "Companions of Joan of Arc" or they get separate pages. --Dhartung | Talk 05:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- I didn't mention that history in the original nomination because no connection to that individual appeared in the article until after I nominated this page for deletion. Then another editor tried to rescue the article and added faulty references, including a link to that sitebanned vandal's website. It's reasonable that a well-meaning editor would do so by accident; the fellow's website gets a high Google index. Per WP:DENY I don't mention him unless the reason is compelling.

- Keep - a minor historical figure, but a historical figure nonetheless who has become closely associated with the history and mythology of Joan of Arc. I could easily see a brief survey comparing academic opinions of him, his representation in fictionalised and semi-historical accounts such as literature and cinema, and so on. These bits of information are much better presented in a short single-subject article than as part of the larger Joan of Arc article. I will say, though, I am a strong inclusionist when it comes to historical figures. --Stomme (talk) 09:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- What possible fictional coverage could he get that isn't already encompassed at Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc? DurovaCharge! 11:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep as a verifiable and known historical figure. I've completely reworked the page, adding multiple reliable sources to prove notability, as well as a related link. Nyttend (talk) 13:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually I had to delete two of those four sources because they failed WP:RS and the remaining two are incomplete because no page numbers are cited.

- Page numbers are a requirement of Wikipedia's citation policy for all articles - see WP:CITE#HOW. Readers should not have to hunt through the book themselves. I'm really surprised that you would suggest this. Awadewit (talk) 01:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Metz is a figure who is well-known in history. He's important enough to have his own article as far as I can tell. Malinaccier (talk) 23:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Merge - perferrably into Joan of Arc or some other related page. I do not feel, along with several others that this person sustains enough action to be defined as notable. In addition, I would agree that if more information is found on the topic that defines its notability, I have no qualms on it staying. Even in its current state, it still doesn't work out. There are also problems above that don't help either.Mitch32contribs 23:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Comment If you would be more specific about the "problems above" that would be helpful. I have uncovered some information relating to the nomination that may answer your questions. As for "more information", there are 275 results in Google Books (which is a reasonably healthy number) and Google Scholar offers some as well (with overlap). There are even some Google News Archive hits for this 15th century fellow. --Dhartung | Talk 00:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
